Bedtime in the House of Lamentation
pairing: om! brothers x reader
summary: you have a special sleep speaker that changes colors. they check in on your room when they hear noise at night, but it's not you and they find a lone light glowing their nail color or power
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucifer - blue/red
classical music, but it's the chill kind... ya know the ones you can fall asleep to
fave songs but piano version
white noise
This was one of the nights he does his rounds of the house. Making sure his brothers, Mammon, weren't out causing trouble for him to deal with later. Being the eldest, when he does these check-ins, he'd just open the door and then leave the bedroom resident to whatever they were doing. He never thoroughly checked a room unless something suspicious was going on, or he's heard rumors regarding the resident and their bedroom.
So when he finally gets to the first floor he notes that there's a faint sound of classical music. He ends up at the front of your door and without a second thought he opens the door and is met with the speaker glowing, music flowing from it and your sleeping form.
It seems you tried to pull an all-nighter. Your phone still in your hand, covers not properly covering you, but sleeping so peacefully. A small smirk appears on his lips as he pulls the covers over you, making sure you don't get a cold, and then leaves the room. Maybe he'd need to get not cursed records and finish work earlier so you can fall asleep together.
Tumblr media
Mammon - white/yellow
r&b. look me in the eyes and tell me he's not black. go on, yeah that's what i thought.
jazz... now hear me out, casino things
continuing casino stuff, casino ambience
When hears the faint sound of slot machines in the House of Lamentation he's in a whiplash of excited and confused. Didn't he just leave the casino? And there's no way in west devildom that Lucifer agreed to him wanting a mini casino in the house. So naturally he follows the sound and hopes for the later.
But no, it's coming from... your room?! Quickly opening the door he finds a small speaker emitting a light and your phone, charging, right next to it. "Casino ambience..." he whispers reading the title of the video in your phone screen after getting closer to it.
Awww his human missed him, well it's only right that he adds to this bedtime immersion by slipping into bed with you. Crawling into the bed with you, holding you close, he notices you almost stir awake and the small smile on your face. Damn, could you possibly be any cuter right now?! He rubs your back and soothes you back into your deep sleep and soon drifts off as well.
Tumblr media
Leviathan - purple/orange
gamer lets plays are playing through the speaker
or maybe a game ost that has sleepy/chill vibes
acnh w/ rain background anyone?
He had left his room for a food break between gaming. He had a few raids and team rounds to do, but right now refueling was more important. That's when he hears something near the kitchen. Putting down his cup noodles he follows the sound and finds it coming from your room.
There was a faint light glowing from the crack in the door and it wasn't the usual bright yellow from the lanterns and fairy lights in the room. Pressing his ear to the door he recognizes the music being one of your cozy games. Gaining no answer from knocking on your door, or calling out to you, he opens the door and instantly covers his mouth. 'Oh my gosh they're so cute! WAIT NO THIS IS CREEP BEHAVIOR!! but...' He practically tip toes into your room and sees the speaker.
Doing a double take he leaves your room as quickly and quietly as possible... after a picture of you with the speaker's light on you first though... you're just too pretty and it's too heart-warming to know when you don't or cant sleep in his room, because you can't sleep, this is how you remedy it.
Tumblr media
satan - green
or maybe r/no sleep, r/aita, r/dndhorrorstories, buzzfeeds are you scared
cat radio... no really cat fm
book readings
He's used to you falling asleep while reading to you, or when you'd spend time with him just to fall asleep on his lap waiting for him to finish his books. And yes he'd go cat watching with you. Even plotting to adopt a few if you both ever got the okay from Lucifer. Though he wouldn't have guessed things like that extend to you getting a good night's rest.
This particular night he was entranced by a book in the library when he heard... meowing? Though it wasn't normal meows, it was to the tune of some song. He knows that cats are known to sing sometimes but since when did either of you sneak one into the house? Following the sound he soon realizes that it's some kind of recording because what's next is a narration of a book he's read before.
Noticing the green glow from under the door he decides to check in on you and sees you knocked out. The sound of a narrator, close to his tone of voice, reading you a story as you dreamt away. He couldn't help but smile as a warm feeling took over his heart. To think you needed to hear him, or someone like him, read stories for you to properly sleep was too sweet to bare. He quietly closes the door and heads off to bed for the night.
Tumblr media
asmo - pink
meditation or ocean sounds
true crime, makeup or both
honestly smthn that'd be trendy and recommended for sleep
First of all, he didn't expect for you to go to bed so early. Usually he's the one with an early bedtime but tonight was an exception. There was a party he was invited to and he couldn't just ignore his adoring fans.
So when he came back and heard a sleep meditation coming from your room, his curiosity gets the better of him. He decides to take a peek into your room and has to hold back a squeal over how you look sleeping. When it comes to beauty only you could rival him, and this even counts when you're sleeping!
His eyes follow where the faint pink glow is coming from and surprise! it's your little speaker. He can't help admire you and be glad you took up one of his trends. You really do care! Of course he does his bedtime routine and then cuddles up in bed with you. The pink mood lighting and how peaceful it is was just too hard to resist.
Tumblr media
beel - red/orange
lullaby music, or 80's rock songs in music box style
podcast
snoring sounds
Beel is known for his late night kitchen rummages. Infact he got used to you not stopping him but helping by joining in or just keeping him company, you'd rarely scold him for his late night rampages. Though tonight you were no where to be found.
When he first passed by your bedroom it was relatively quiet, so he figured you were asleep. Not being able to eat how he usually would, concerned over your absence, he took only a couple snacks and checked on your room again before going back to his.
This time he notices a music box playing and a light coming from under the door. He peeks through a crack in the door he makes from opening it a little, and notices you sleeping. He smiles warmly and the grin becomes bigger when he sees where the light and sound is coming from. You and Belphie slept the same, covered with blankets and surrounded by pillows. It was endearing and he couldn't help but curl up in your room that night with his snacks.
Tumblr media
belphie - purple/teal
fave songs but it's in music box style
asmr, and it's like a muffled city, keyboard typing, or rainy day, with music from another room
lofi
Being the Avatar of Sloth, he didn't have to go to you room to see how you were sleeping. Though you did peak his curiosity a little when he heard lofi music coming from your room. Surely you couldn't be so diligent, or a nerd, that you'd be studying at this time of night. Turns out his suspicion was correct, you weren't studying.
He was currently a by-stander of your dreams tonight and he takes note of how he appears in them. It wasn't like he was fully in your dream, no dream self to speak of, but instead things you associated with him.
Taking his powers a bit further he astral projects and finds himself right by your bed. A glow of light seems to pass through his spirit form and looking over he finds where it's coming from, along with what's making your dreams what they are. Smiling a little he looks over at your sleeping form, a bit of your face peeking out from the mass of covers, and notices that you're smiling too. "Cute." He whispers and decides to insert himself into your dreams. You wanted him so bad then fine, he'll be there.

Well, as (sorta promised), here are some of my other Hazbin Hotel Age Regression headcanons! I say sort of as I most likely won’t include Sir Pentious, and I’ll just bunch him in with the other miscellaneous characters that I like! Sorry about that but regardless, let’s go on with the show!
Hazbin Hotel Age Regression Headcanons, Part 2.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Alastor, The Radio Demon
•No one really knows what his deal is, I mean, the dude’s from the 30’s, he’s like prehistoric. No one expected him to know what age regression was, let alone indulge it.
•That was until he was seen casually taking care of a regressed Niffty, playing with her in the living room of the hotel.
‘Why, of course I know what regression, how else would I be taking care of this little darling Niffty here?’
•He just left at that, he didn’t explain much, people just accepted it as a fact of life.
•From what people have seen, he’s entirely a caregiver, mostly for Niffty but sometimes watches over Charlie if he’s feeling up for it.
•He likes talking to littles, but not in the same way Charlie does, he mainly acts like he’s gossiping with her.
‘Abababababa!’
‘(Gasp), I cannot believe she said that, she really shouldn’t be talking, I wish I had her confidence.’
•Alastor doesn’t like being touched, and that stays true with littles. He has no problem grabbing them or holding them, but touching him is where the line is drawn.
•The most he’ll do is let them hold his hand if they’re scared.
•Has to be reminded not to accidentally spook the little with any of his…everything.
•Has no idea what to do if a little starts crying and just dumps them onto Husk. Or, he’ll use his microphone to play some soothing music for them, which sometimes works.
•Also, he makes the best food for his littles, I’ve always believed Alastor is an amazing cook and he can make practically anything a little wants!
•He calls littles, ‘Tiny Demons, Deerlings, Little Shadow, Princess (Charlie specific).
•Won’t really admit it but he likes taking care of littles. Even if it’s his ‘duty’ as manager of the hotel, he has a genuine liking to them.
•He’s not the safest with littles, he keeps them sheltered from most of Hell, because it’s Hell and that place sucks, but would honestly just watch if they climbed up some place high or played with a knife.
•Alastor keeps makes his shadows watch them at all times though, in case they seem like they’ll really hurt themself.
•He’ll also kill and or eat anyone who so much as makes one of his littles cry, not in front of them of course.
•No one knows if Alastor regresses or not, people are too scared to ask him, so they go to Husker but even he doesn’t know. Alastor is an enigma, after all.
Tumblr media
Husker
•Husker is a caregiver! He never felt a need to be little, and really really took a long time to understand it.
•It took a while to wrap his head around the fact that people actually felt like a child when they were little, and weren’t just acting.
•He sort of understood it with Niffty, but really understood it with Angel. He always thought Angel was fake but could recognise that the way he acted when he was small but anything but.
•It was kinda like a moment where everything clicked for him.
•He wasn’t really interested in being a caregiver or looking after kids, by all accounts, he hates them.
•Still, Husk acts as a de facto babysitter of the hotel, especially if the littles just need some time to chill. Other people can be a liiittle hyper.
•So, Husker was stuck with a bunch of kids a lot of the time, he wasn’t exactly a fan but he didn’t hate it either.
•Once he learned how to take care of them mostly, keeping their little gear on hand (he has a bunch of bottles, juice and milk in the bar for them), giving them attention, he got the hang of it.
•He really cannot deal with tantrums though, and has to find someone else to before he ends up snapping at them which he wouldn’t want.
•He has the kind of vibe of a babysitter that’s just honest with the kids he babysits, and finds it amusing to lie to them about little things.
‘Hu-Husk, why are you a c-cat?’
‘It’s cause I ate a bunch of fur when I was alive.’
•It’s comedy gold to him.
•He never acts mean to littles, just a little blunt at times.
•Isn’t the best at handling crying but still tries, he doesn’t really do bottle feeding but he’ll do his best to calm a little down!
Tumblr media
Niffty
•I imagine Niffty as a total regressor, I don’t think she’d be one for taking care of others!
•Her age range can be anywhere from 2-5!
•Her regression is mostly voluntary though sometimes she slips without even realising.
•She’s very hyper when she’s little, usually talking very fast and bouncing around the place!
•She loves piggy back rides, it makes her feel tall! Her favourite thing to do is get a piggy back ride off Husk and have him fly her around!
•She calls Husker ‘kitty’ when he’s regressed; Alastor’s her dada and Charlie’s her mama!
•Niffty finds Alastor more fun and prefers hanging out with him, but Charlie can be more comforting at times!
•Being taken care of by the two of them is like a dream for her, or when she gets to have play dates with a little Charlie.
•With Husker though, she finds him a bit boring but loves being able to blabber at him for hours and hours.
•She can talk fairly well when she’s a slightly bigger age but when she’s really tiny, it’s mostly babbles.
•Niffty doesn’t have that much little gear, she has this horrifying stitched together plushie that no one can really tell what it’s supposed to be, along with a red and black paci that Alastor got for her! She also has a pair of white PJ’s with light purple tints to them!
•She doesn’t really care for touch when she’s little, but she loves receiving gifts, usually sweets though; she goes absolutely insane for anything with sugar!
•Husker had to put a lock on one of cabinets as Niffty got in one time and ate half a bag of sugar.
•The one thing she hates about and gets fussy over is nap time, she always tries to weasel her way out of it and claim she’s not tired even if she’s actively fighting to stay awake.
•This usually goes on until Charlie says she’ll read her a story, or Alastor plays her some music that helps her fall asleep. After just a couple seconds of her head being on the pillow, she’ll be out like a light!
•Niffty does like nick names when regressed but she honestly couldn’t care what she’s called, even if it’s insulting she’ll think it’s a compliment!
•Still though, her caregivers stick to a couple! Alastor calls her ‘Little Darling’, Charlie calls her, ‘Sweetie’, and Husk calls her ‘Brat’.
————-
Whew, and that’s the main six done! It took a bit out of me, but I’m glad I got all this out of my system, it was fun to write! This doesn’t mean I’m done with Hazbin though, I still have other characters and I obviously want to write a fic at some point! Also I’m fine if you want to send in character requests for any headcanons, just keep in mind I may be busy! Thanks for reading starlights, I’ll hopefully be back soon with more cool stuff!

ー 死神 ♡
Tumblr media
halloweenie vibes ig, and im probs not even gonna get one fic out for it ( lmaoo whats new ), so just for spoop, enjoy a smol sakusa drabble, bc i felt like being nice to him :')
(( trigger warning for wanting to unalive, but its not bad, prkmise ))
Tumblr media
thinking about grim reaper!sakusa who always watches over you;
you both met centuries ago. where? he can't say. how? he doesn't know. why? he forgot those details long ago. he doesn't even remember his life anymore. what he did, his friends or even his family. but he feels a phantom pain when he thinks about them.. family. he thinks maybe he was close to someone once.. its only natural right? at least before he met you.
he does recall one thing however; you died.
he does relive that, and that pain is real. so vividly he remembers praying, crying out to whatever deity or higher power that may be out there to listen. to not take you away from him. how you never had enough time, and that you were taken too soon.
it was the first time he had cried.
he wouldn't, no, couldn't live without you. the haze and cacophony leading up to his final days as a man, as a human, are not a time sakusa likes to reflect back on. barely existing and the shell of the proud man he once was, he just wanted to be with you.
it was peaceful that day the day he decided to take his own life. it was warm, with the sun shining vibrantly and the gentle breeze to offer a soothing kiss on his skin. it was like you were waiting... happy to be reunited.
he never felt the chill of the ocean below, tripping off of the cliff he was determined to jump from and hitting his head. a show of mercy in the hell he had to endure from being parted from you. painless and quick.
sakusa felt weightless when he awoke. was he still alive?
no, he came to find that he was indeed successful. a voice surrounding him that was everywhere and nowhere at all all but confirmed his passing. it also confirmed it had heard his desperate cries and prayers over you. the voice didn't know why, but it was willing to answer sakusa.
it had the power to bring you back, but it would come at a price.
the higher power would grant you life, but sakusa would be cursed to be undead. a leader of lost souls for the unfortunate.. or perhaps fortunate? to guide them into the afterlife.
it didn't matter what he had to do, as long as you got to live. he all but readily accepted, unknowingly cursing you too.
for life, and existence has a balance. if sakusa was cursed with being eternally dead, then you'd be cursed with eternal life.
but one couldn't live forever of course, humans don't live forever. so the universe found a workaround.
you would live and die, again and again and again. forever reincarnating, just to live and having to die; and all sakusa could do was watch.
as he led more and more souls to find everlasting tranquility, he had to watch yours being forced away from him into a new life that would soon become you.
he was confused the first time it happened, watching your reincarnated first life be born and grow. how you became who you were when you were with him. he was content like this, watching you from beyond. as long as you got to live your life.
you married and had kids in that first life, and he couldn't help but wonder if that could've been you and him. how would life have gone for him if you weren't taken away?
he learned early on what exactly he subjected himself and inadvertently, you to.
no matter how many centuries ago it had been, it still never made it easier, and sakusa had soon come to grow cold and disdainful of the world. of everything, and with noway to undo it, he had to withstand it.
be forced to watch the love of his life live without him, and knowing he was the cause of her never being able to reunite with any of her loved ones.
sometimes you'd die young, too young that sakusa couldn't even beat to glance at your soul. other times you'd live a full and long life. he wished every life you had would be like that, and if he had to pull strings to speed up someones passing for hurting you? he was more than happy to oblige. scum didn't need to live, and he was more than happy to send them to the realm now coined as hell.
he didn't know why he kept up with this self torture, tormenting himself to being so close and yet so far from you. at least he never had to forget your face or your voice; the one constant that never changed.
and so he stood, across the road from the coffee shop you liked to frequent, watching as you lived your life; or at least this one. he could practically smell the pumpkin spice. the seasonal drink that became your favourite autumn beverage two lives ago.
you feel someone staring at you as you thank the barista for your drink, the warm takeaway cup heating up your hands. so you look outside the large pane windows, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
through your entire life you've felt a presence around you, watching you. you couldn't explain it, but it always felt familiar. familiar and safe. like a guardian angel. as ridiculous as it sounded, you always felt like nothing bad could ever happen, but you couldn't help the sad sigh that spilled from your lips. you really wished you could know who was constantly watching over you.
sakusa didn't mean to come as close as he did, at least not while you were awake. he knew his very being emitted a bitter and crisp air. humans could sense death, even if they couldn't see it. a lost soul wandering the busy streets. sakusa lost his empathy long ago, for it died along with you, but he held is tongue and the urge to roll his eyes at the floating mass. it stopped at the corner of the coffee shop, and he made his way over quickly. practically teleporting, going through cars and people, sending shivers through them as he passed. he didn't care. the sooner he could deal and send the soul into the afterlife, the sooner he could be with you.
he hastily guided them, showing them the welcoming light as it faded away. he never saw it, but even he could feel the blinding affable glow when he led them there.
he was ready to go back across until he heard the recognisable sound of tires screeching. please don't let it be you!
a scene he knew all too well was occurring. it didn't matter how many times he saw it, a heartache felt only hundreds of times. it didn't stop him from trying. even if he tried countless times before, knowing the end result would be the same. sakusa would always try, for you, even knowing it was pointless.
so imagine his shock when he can feel you underneath him, a carnage of vehicles behind him and you looking up at him, actually seeing him whispering
"it's you"

Them with a S/O that likes to sing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aizawa, Shinsou, and Bakugou (separate) x gn!Reader 
Warnings: None at all :) A/N: There’s probably better labels then the ones then just “if you like metal singing” but I don’t really know the exact terminology, I just didn’t want those people to be left out :>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Aizawa Shouta / Eraserhead
Tumblr media
- He 100% loves it and feels no shame in expressing it in his own little grumpy way. - But when I say he loves your singing I mean it, he loves it. - This guy barely cares about what his food tastes like so he’s not gonna care what you sound like, he’ll vibe all the same. - 10/10 Sleepy man approved - You wanna do him a favour and indulge his need for your voice? - Sing this man to sleep
- Aizawa is always run ragged and exhausted from both hero patrols and working as a UA teacher to around 20 super powered hormone filled teenagers.
- So it’s safe to say he is on the brink of sleep just about all the time.
- Sing him to sleep and he could sleep standing
- Not like he doesn’t already but that's besides the point.
- It’s almost like some sort of hypnosis for him, when you start singing he’s dead asleep and is basically impossible to wake up.
- Poor Mic actually thought he was dead once when he came over to your shared home to drop off some stuff. - Now he doesn’t really care what you sing, so if you’re a metal singer he’s chill - I mean, he’s used to sleeping in the middle of the day in an active classroom. - So it’s safe to say not much can phase and or wake him up from sleep. - So go ahead and scream your throat away, Aizawa will support by laying there like a corpse. - If you somehow manage to wake him up you will be attacked with at least 3 pillows. - He’ll try to send at least one cat after you but they’d just rub up on your legs. - So for your own sake of not getting pelted with pillows and getting cat soldiers getting sent to you try and be in a different room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shinsou Hitoshi
Tumblr media
- Does this second generation sleepy boy like your singing? - Short answer, yes and no. - Shinsou is as blunt as a butter knife and as tired as a person that’s coming down from drinking a two liter of nothing but pure espresso. - So if you find yourself singing while Shinsou is trying to, or is taking a nap he can and will tell you to knock it off.  - Out of love, but still. - If he’s feeling nice he’ll silently hand you a glass of water or a snack you like to occupy you with something so he can get some shut eye while your getting sustained. - Drink your water kids or shinsou will be coming for your knees - Though if you just badger him enough to sing he’ll give in out of the lack of energy he has to care enough. - Afterwards he 100% will be better off. - It’s basically common understanding at this point that the little purple man gets no sleep, but, to try and sleep he puts on ambiance. - Just those like hour to two hour long videos on youtube of rain sounds or random soothing noises, so when he sleeps he’s used to having noise. - Because youtube is youtube, the occasional “siren” singing video pops up and he conks out so fast he doesn’t realize that it’s basically sleeping medication for him. - So when you start singing? - It doesn’t matter what or how you sing he is fucking out. - Halfway through whatever song your doing he’ll just be a dead weight in your arms. - Now if you’re metal singer?  - He’s just like his fannon/illegitimate father, 0 fucks to give he will sleep like a baby through it. - Idk runs in the blood I guess. - But on the non-sleeping side of things he actually does quite enjoy metal and or rock music. - Shinsou will turn into your 1# fan - Be expecting a noise complaint from every dude in the dorms because he will ask for you to sing to him at all hours of the day with 0 shame.
Bakugou Katsuki
Tumblr media
- This asshole
- We all lovem, but this asshole.
- Trust me, he does actually enjoy your singing quite a bit. - You could sing about the entire wiki article on armadillos and he’d eat it up like some really good spicy noodles. - But that doesn’t mean he’ll act like like - Because no - He acts like it’s the possibly the most annoying thing known to man. - I may be over exaggerating a little but not by far.  - If you start to sing when both of your are alone things will be flung, pillows, blankets, plushies, anything soft to get you to make it look like to anyone else that he wants you to stop. - He doesn’t really want you to stop - But he has a tough guy personally to hold up here guys, let him have his pride. - During late nights though, all that drops. - All he wants to do is cuddle you closer then humanly possible. - He’s soft as those pillows you feel in stores but never buy. - If you really want him to be a puddle of big strong angry blonde man though? Lay him on your chest and sing. - He will become a big heap of puddy - Double trauma points if you headcanon he’s deaf/losing his hearing  - Bakugou’s 100% supportive of anything you sing. - Definitely your 1# hype man and if you sing in front of others he’ll be so proud - He is the type of guy to say “thats my partner” because he’s just so happy that your his. - If your a metal singer though?  - He’s 100% singing with you all the way - Bakugou’s vocal cords have been screeching like a banshee almost 2 quarters of his life, he’s practically trained for it. - Though he goes a little extra feral when he’s screaming lyrics or just straight up screaming with you. - So you guys just end up vibing while sounding like multiple felonies happening at once. - Even if you don’t sing metal/just straight scream, he’ll occasionally sing along with you. - His singing voice is a little crusty but beautiful, but he won’t sing loud for anything. - Try teasing him about it. - Trust me he loves you but at that point his explosions will be rated E for everyone - Including you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for reading :D This will probably have a part 2, I don’t really know :)

!!!~Fic Recs~!!!
I thought I would put together a post with some of my absolute favorite ROTTMNT fics, because these sorts of posts made by authors I love have been what lead me to find them! So why not pay it forward and keep the hype up :) Also I'm intense about organization and archiving and making this record soothes me lmao.
In this post I'll be recommending completed multi-chapter fics. In no particular order, here they are:
Every Night the Longest Day by ashtreelane
-One of the first rottmnt fics I read. I think I maybe stayed up until ridiculous hours reading this. one of those reads that is An Experience. The way that the brothers care for one another is so tangible. The author's conveyance of dissociation/mental fatigue is so interesting and engaging.
KOSMARA by MagpieCrown
-A fic I'll be thinking about for a long, long time. Takes everything I love about the Bad Future and makes it even more bittersweet. The relationships between the characters are what sticks with me like knives in the heart, but the worldbuilding is also so clear (I can see so many settings in my mind's eye so easily! and they're inventive as well!) and the action/climax is incredibly intense. Moreover, the way some characters are never present in the narrative but have such a Presence... not one but two "haunts the narrative" vibes... oh wow. It's really just masterful.
The Call Back Home by @gooseinsurance
-The concept at the center of this fic's narrative is soooo interesting and cool to me!! I think about it, like, all the damn time. One of those ideas that you pick up and stare at in awe and file away into your personal understanding of canon forevermore. On top of that, the frustration you feel at the character conflicts is just palpable. It's heart-wrenching. Moreover, the way the author handles what I suppose could be classified as psychological horror is commendable and was invigorating and chilling to experience as a reader.
Under Pressure by ParvumAutomaton
-I never thought anyone could ever get me to read something about cave diving. Much less horror in a cave diving setting. That sounds like my worst nightmare lmao. And yet. I am so freaking glad I gave this fic a chance. It is one of my all-time favorites, and I know it will live in my brain rent-free for a long time. Leo's characterization and the way he handles scenarios is so realistic and feels so him. Moreover, the way the narrative unfolds and the pacing are so well-done. I could not stop reading. (And for those of you still squeamish about cave diving, there is less time spent underwater than you'd think!)
The Corner Store by KicsterAsh
-A turtle tots fic!! A rare feel-good recommendation from me with littel angst and much comfort and sweetness. I love the speculative biology of mutant turtles in the cold (brumation?! oh no!) so to see a take on it that is so wholesome and charming and well-written was very happy-making for me.
Hollow Mind by paperxcrowns @crows-murder
-Something grimmer than I would have thought I would like, but what really sucked me in is the way this is totally deserving of that tour de force description reviewers like to use so much. It introduces something that is missing from canon but could slot in easily in a darker tone: human experimentation/capture, gun-weilding agents, and separation from family/being stranded and running for your life. All in all it has a very Jason Bourne feel to it that I never thought I would love to see enacted with the turtles, but my gosh it works and works so well.
I wasn't sure which authors had accounts on here or not, so if I've missed you/you know the author's @, please let me know and I'll update the post!

If it's okay to ask, what is your Birdwatcher au about? I was able to figure out the godhuntrer but not the Birdwatcher
Oh yeah of course! I'm always up to ramble about my ideas. (for ease i will refer to my aus by the abbreviations BW and GH) Ok so Birdwatcher is a lot less plotty than Godhunter. Where GH is angsty, bloody and has an actual timeline now, BW is feel good vibes, a nice break from the more heavy peepaw Leo aus. So there's not much by way of story or potential long-form content because it's more of a thing i can doodle and feel good while doing it. But there still is stuff to it, since it is the older AU. BW is a classic "what if Leonardo went with Casey jr through the portal". So Mikey makes the portal and as the krang hounds close in Leonardo grabs Casey and lunches through the portal, knowing he can move farther faster than Casey. In this au Leo wasn't as resigned to die, deciding he wanted to be there with Casey and ensure his safety. That's his son and he will give that boy a better future even if he has to do it with his two hands. The events of the movie are murky, generally it all goes the same, since it isn't the focus of the AU. Leonardo is wounded so cannot join the kids on the ship, the wound being too grievous to handle the physical exertion it would take to get there. He most likely works on saving civilians and aiding in the krang sister fight. Boom bam the krang gets defeated, Mikey opens the portal (much to Leonardo's horror) little Leo is saved. Everything is ok. Recovery happens, they all slowly heal, Leo is probably wounded as ever but Leonardo is there to make sure everything goes smoothly, and Casey jr is there to make sure he actually gets rest. that was mostly backstory but context is important!! I haven't focused as much on BW's dynamic with his living family but I assume he is very loving and caring towards them, tries to get them to go on nature hikes with him. He becomes another older figure in their life, older sibling type thing, though Raph insists he will always be the little brother. Leonardo and little Leo are a little different. Leonardo adores little Leo, thinks he's just a silly little guy. Little Leo pokes fun of Leonardo and is a little freaked out that his main hobby is birdwatching (little Leo secretly likes birdwatching with Leonardo). But everyone is family and it is great, Casey slots into the role of cousin-nephew-sibling type beat easily. Now to the main chunk of the au is his and Casey's rediscovery of the world. The basis of BW is that they find solace in nature, it is an old memory for Leonardo and a discovery for Casey jr. Leonardo is old and weary, Casey jr is uncomfortable in crowds, so the quiet peace in nature soothes them both. They take trips, visit state parks, zoos, forests. Leonardo becomes friends with Todd and they hang out, drink some lemonade together and watch birds. They also take to visiting the hidden city, to see the nature down there. I have some OCs to pad out the roster, Ellus is a plant wrangler/seller, and Leonardo likes to talk about plants with them. Elmon is up in the air but they could chill with Casey jr, do parkour together. The big chunk of the au is a lot more up in the air because it's very much a 'anything can happen, they're just having fun watching birds and healing from the pain of the apocalypse'. Sometimes I dabble with the idea of Leonardo's brother's ghosts in the form of little spectral birds but that's also wishy washy. Leonardo does have a weird griffin style bird though, I think it is goofy to give him a pet. I mean just look at him

Nightmare - Lena Luthor x Reader
Tumblr media
Hey, so, I just had a really really fucky nightmare and no ones around so i'm writing this at 3/4am while by the grace of everything good in this universe I'm on call with one of my friends. This is literally what fucking happened to me (not including Lena and snuggles lmao)
Word count: 2019
Warnings: Its a nightmare i literally had like 2 hours ago, night pedestrians (iykyk), cursing
Summary: Y/N has a nightmare and instead of vibing on call they get snuggles :3
Walking through the house, your music blasts from your pocket as you head for the kitchen to grab a snack.
“Guys, it's coming!”
“Oh shit-”
You rush to the living room, stopping your music as you join your brother and his band of friends. Your mom sits behind the group as you all kneel on the floor.
“Heads down,” your brother instructs, “heads down!”
You all put your heads to the carpet. The drawn out sound of a car going by echoes through the house, signaling it's presence. Everyone's breathing is irregular, some shaky as they assume the worst and prepare. The house soon goes quiet and your brother relaxes, moving to sit upright again.
“Okay,” he states, “we’re clear.”
“That quick?” one of his friends asks.
“Yeah, it kind of does a pass over thing.” Your brother explains.
The group goes back to their normal activities and you shakily stand up to return to the kitchen for what you wanted. On second thought, you head back to your room, deciding to chill for a bit.
You must have fallen asleep. Peeling your eyes open, to glance around your dark room, the red from your reptiles night light gently flooding your room. Almost as clear as day, you see it. The static silhouette of an entity stands between you and the door. You can hear the hiss of a car going by slowly. You immediately shut your eyes, forcing it to leave your vision and hoping to whatever is good out in the universe that it passes. You try again to open your eyes, finding it increasingly more difficult to do so. You take a moment to syke yourself up. You try to move, noting how numb your limbs feel, almost as if they're not your own. Your eyes are impossible to keep open, but you still manage to fling the sheets off of you and stumble down the hall to your brothers room.
You open his door, not caring for the small squeak of the hinges and you throw yourself to his floor, shaking him awake.
“Bro-” you begin, “I fucking saw it, I saw it.”
“What?” He groggily responds.
“The sk!nw@lker, oh my god, it was in my room and it was all static and shit and-” You begin to tear up, looking around his room frantically.
“Hey, hey, calm down.” He tries to soothe.
You catch something out his window on the ground. It's one of your friends, Shane.
“Hey, Shane’s here.” You announce.
“Mom’s also here.” He adds, noting the sound of the front door opening.
You get up to go greet her, acknowledging Shane’s presence as he makes his way up the basement steps to join you and your mom. It's a surprise visit for her, but she’s tired enough to let it slide tonight.
The overwhelming feeling that something is watching you continues to gnaw at the back of your mind. You glance over your shoulder, but see nothing around the house.
Your eyes shoot open, the red from your reptiles night light flooding the room.
Fuck me. Fuck. me.
“I’m going to shit myself-” You mumble to yourself. “I am going to shit myself.”
You go to open discord, beginning to write about the nighttime adventures of your mind to your friend group. You stop mid sentence, looking at the time. 3:33 am.
<Your user name>
Broskis, I’m going to shit myself
BRUH
I’M FUCKING DONE
You sit up in your bed, turning around to lay on your stomach, facing your headboard and wall to avoid your door. You text on the discord a little bit more, not expecting anyone to be awake. To your surprise, Lena responds, offering surprised reactions. You get on one of the voice channels, not expecting anything to happen and begin plugging in songs for the bot to play. Lena soon joins you on the channel.
“Hi, darling.” She greets quietly. “You doing okay?”
“Yeah,” you half whisper, “I’m just- what the fuck bro.”
“I’m sorry about your nightmare.” She offers.
“Okay- bro, it was about the fucking Night Pedestrians,” you state, “you know them?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“Yeah…” You trail off. “And then it just has to be the goddamn witching hour. What the fuck.”
“That’s wild.”
“I’m going to shit myself, Lee.” You say. “I. Am. Going. To. Shit. Myself.”
“Aww, darling...”
“I don’t want to talk about it until it's not the fucking witching hour.” You state, still shaken up about the whole ordeal.
“Yeah, I get it.” She responds. 
You can hear the nod in her voice, imagining her nodding her head in agreement. You’re a bit more of the superstitious type than she is. She doesn’t fully understand the whole Night Pedestrian talk, but she knows what you’re talking about. It wouldn’t mean as much to anyone else as it does to you that she adopts your behavior when it comes to cryptids and folklore.
You sit in silence, listening to the music of the bot playing softly in the channel. It’s quiet enough to hear her, but loud enough to provide a distraction. You whip out your laptop, opting to write a small blurb for your social media.
You keep track of the time, watching the clock tick closer and closer to 4 am. You try to write a little bit, managing out a few sentences. A soft knock echoes throughout your apartment.
“Lena,” you whisper into your phone, “someone’s at my fucking door-”
“Yeah, it’s me. Now open up.” She leaves the discord call.
You slowly get up to go let your best friend in. As you approach the door, you can hear her using the spare key you gave her. She swings the door open and closes it behind her, locking it. She’s clad in casual clothes that look like she just threw on. She immediately walks up to you and embraces you, wrapping her arms around your shoulders and pulling you close to her. You take a moment to compute and eventually wrap your arms around her torso in return. The two of you stand there for a moment before you break the silence.
“You didn’t have to come all the way out here for me-” you begin.
“And let you suffer here alone?” She pulls back a little bit, looking down at you. “Not a chance.”
She pulls you back into her embrace, placing a soft kiss to your forehead. Your grip on her slightly increases at the motion and you bury your face into her chest. She begins to rub her hand up and down your back briefly before pulling back.
“Would you like to put something on to watch,” she offers, “would you like to attempt sleep again?”
“I…” you stammer, looking down. “Did you come here without shoes??? Lena, you really didn’t have to-”
“Y/N,” she grabs your face gently, “I’m here for you. Doesn’t matter how, when, or why. I don’t want to sit back there on call, unable to give you hugs and cuddles and comfort when you so clearly need it.”
“But-”
She shushes you, bringing you back to her previous question. “What do you want to do?”
“Would you like a drink?” You deviate again.
“Y/N,” she warns, tilting her head and raising a brow. “If you don’t decide, I will.”
You look away before beginning to turn to your bedroom. You begin shuffling over, Lena following you with a hand on your back. You crawl under your covers, offering her space and letting her crawl in with you. She grabs your favorite throw blanket and throws it up, unfurling it over you. The tortilla print decorates a large circular area of the bed as it drapes neatly overtop you and Lena. You shuffle down the covers and turn to her, snuggling up to her as she drapes an arm over you. You wrap your arms around her waist, holding onto her tightly and burying your head into her chest.
“Do you want to talk about it?” she asks softly, beginning to play with your hair.
You glance at the time over her shoulder at your alarm clock on your nightstand. “It had the Night Pedestrian in it…”
She hums in response, continuing to stroke your hair.
“My brother was in it, I still lived with them, like I never moved out,” you begin. “He knew how to tell when the Night Pedestrian was coming and he had like this weird ritual when you put your head down and avoid their gaze and pretend like they're not there. It kinda does like this passover thing.”
You take a moment to think of what else to tell her. She doesn’t stop brushing her fingers through your hair, gently grazing her nails against your scalp soothingly.
“So he had friends over and he knew when it was coming so we all avoided it. I can't remember if my mom came home before or after I ‘woke up’, but also when she came home, one of my brother and my friend came over at the same time but from downstairs. And because it's a dream, the house is kinda wonky so things are off, but it's relatively similar. But at some point, I wake up, and as I’m opening my eyes, it's like those Backrooms entities or whatever, you know them?”
“Mhmm,” she hums, letting you continue.
“So it was like that, but like it was all static. And I tried to get out of bed, but like, my body was all numb. So I finally was able to get to my brothers room and I woke him up and I cried that I saw it. And I think that's when we both got up and mom came home and our friend came in the basement door. He was younger than he actually it, but that probably just because I haven’t seen him in forever.”
You shift slightly, increasing your grip on her.
“It just- it felt so real.” You whisper. “The glow from Glue’s night light, the ambience of the room, everything was there and it was just this static entity.”
You sniff and rub your eyes into your shoulders and forearms to wipe away the wetness that’s begun to spill.
“I’m sorry you experienced that.” Lena increases her grip on you briefly before pulling back to look at you.
She brings a hand to your face, wiping away your tears. She places another soft kiss to your forehead, bringing you into her embrace again.
“Thank you for texting the discord about it.” She praises. “You’re very brave for opening up to us like that.”
“I was just in shock and I was shaken up about the whole thing-”
“Yeah, and it’s okay to feel like that and let the others know.” She cuts you off gently. “Even if it's at some ungodly hour of the night, someone will be up and available to be there for you. You’re not alone, darling.”
She places another kiss to your forehead.
“Thank you for coming over. I really appreciate it.” You hold onto her.
“Anytime, darling.”
A short period of silence falls over you both before you decide to break it.
“Ugh, I wish I had a girlfriend.” You huff, half joking. “Non-stop cuddles and shit like this.”
You bury your face further into her, trying to snuggle closer. You hear a soft chuckle emanate from your goddess of a best friend.
“I could be your girlfriend.” She offers.
“Wait shit, really?” You whip your head up to look at her.
“Yeah,” she confirms, placing yet another soft kiss to your forehead, “really.”
You shoot her a huge grin, placing a quick kiss on her cheek and snuggling into her again.
“Goodnight, Girlfriend.” You bid, closing your eyes as you finally settle.
“Goodnight my darling.”

i'm slowly circling around hermitcraft (i keep telling myself i'm not going to get into another minecraft smp thing, i did my days in the yogscast mines) and it's so compelling. i won't lie. what would you, personally, suggest as a starting point for someone who hasn't watched any of these people before? even without knowing these characters, your hermitcraft fic is so good that i want to learn more about them
yeah see, i told myself that too and then dsmp and 3rd life and hermitcraft happened and. here i am. back in the pits again!! having the time of my life about it ngl.
so, okay, my first caveat would be: fandom does a lot of heavy lifting re: it having a plot. like... i'd say they're less plotty than the yogs were, with season 8 being an honourable exception. so don't go in expecting that my fic has uhhhhh. really any relation to canon lmao. (though to be fair, it didn't really in yogs either, so...)
first option: watch an episode of Hermitcraft Recap (a channel that does a weekly "what happened on hermitcraft this week" highlights video), see if any of the things mentioned take your fancy, and then check out the channel of the hermit that did it. this is good if you're hunting for someone doing a specific Thing in minecraft, rather than streamer personality.
second option: see the rec list below, and check out one of those people's season 8. season 8 is now over, but it was very short compared to regular seasons - so a lot of the excitement gets compressed and amped up, and it's a good way to really get an idea of what people are about. it will give you an unrealistic idea of how plotty hermitcraft gets, especially the end, because they went absolutely off the shits with that one, but it's a great season.
third option: see the rec list below, and jump straight into season 9 - either at the beginning of someone's series, or at the current point, or skip around through various people's things. we're like 20-ish eps in, depending on the person, but honestly it's pretty easy to dip in and out; we just had a big Plot Development with rendog getting crowned king of the server, so it's a good time to start! rec list (biased to the people i watch, obvs! the others are great too, but these are my faves), to help you decide who to pick:
Literally unhinged impossible redstone, constantly on his villain arc, (and tomato plants?): DocM77
Very good redstone, also extremely funny: TangoTek (also makes excellent noises), MumboJumbo (on break atm. i miss him :( ), Zedaph (he's doing. weird shit this season, but i support him in his quest to be a lunatic)
Incredible building, but also chaos-gremlin energy: BdoubleO100 (excellent noises pt.2), Grian (main character energy, tumblr's fave), PearlescentMoon (i am kissing her s9 base directly on the mouth)
Incredible building, really nice voice: GoodTimesWithScar (tumblr's other fave)
Building but also like. weirdly chill-but-horny vibes: Keralis (deliberately), Rendog (on accident)
Literally no idea but you should watch him: Joe Hills (very odd, currently hyperfixated on pinball machines, i find him very soothing for reasons that escape me, writes haikus for his episodes????)
fourth option: some of what you've seen from me will be from 3rd / last / double life, a bunch of semi-hardcore "death games" series run by grian and involving a bunch of hermits (plus some other friends, including inthelittlewood from the yogscast!). these are great, and i watched these before hermitcraft, and then based who i was watching in hc on what i'd seen there. double life is happening rn and we're only 3 eps in, so it'd be easy to catch up! it's basically a soulmate au but in minecraft, because grian is insane; i'm really enjoying BdoubleO100, PearlescentMoon, Tango, Rendog, and Grian (Scar is on a weird zookeeping arc, godbless, so he's in my bad books until he starts killing again. otherwise, the go-to rec is Grian or Scar's pov of 3rd Life, which sent me fucking insane.

Onward Fan Art Shout Out - 11!!!
Theme: Barley Lightfoot, Rock Star 🎸🎶
We’re "UP TO 11" as the trope says!
I’d best describe it in one word, and that’s chaos
and who better at being chaos than our very own Barley? Or rather Barley just being Barley? Or better yet...Barley rockin' out?!
Barley is, without a doubt, a rock star! from being an amazing and protective older brother/father figure to his baby bro, Ian to putting himself out there and not being afraid to be him! so here's a fanart collection of Barley showing off his awesome and lovable Barley energy! 🤘
and yes, I had planned to share this post last week, but as I said earlier I wanted to find more art for this particular theme, which luckily I was able to do! it's just too good!! so here's what I originally had in mind for last Friday—right here, right now 😉
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Artists
jamie_phut - "on the guitar, Barley Lightfoot!" a taste of young Barley to kick things off! this redraw of him from the deleted scene is very well done! so cute and colorful! I love it!
starlight_crafter - this was drawn all the way back in 2019 right after the teaser trailer came out! I really like the style of this pencil drawing and even though we weren't sure what to expect of Barley yet at the time, this artist captures him and his vibe brilliantly!
cheesembs - I love the simple use of colors here and Barley's expression!! he really looks like he's into what he's playing here! this whole picture just makes me smile
cgbkart - ahhhh air guitar!!! this piece has such fun energy! and perfectly encapsulates one of Barley's many rules of questing: use what you've got. if there ain't no guitar or radio to make music, do it yourself!
umutciplak - I love how endearingly goofy Barley's smile is in this drawing! while also giving off the metal horns on both hands! to me it says: "it's all good, bro!" also his many pins are incorporated very nicely too!
van_thuart - I would hope that this would be the thumbnail for a potential hours long onward lo-fi music video because I'm getting those vibes with this drawing and its peaceful purple background specifically!
coma.troversy / @comatroversy - YEAH!!! that's just what I hear Barley yelling out when I see this piece. Cheering for his brother, listening and dancing to a banger track, accomplishing a heroic deed, you name it! there's so much personality here!
magnetoburrito / @magneto-burrito - ngl I really love seeing Barley in a sweatshirt! and yes I agree, he probably would listen to the band, Rush! I love how happy and chill he is in all of these drawings!
rustedbelt - I never really thought about Barley playing music on an acoustic guitar before but this is a very cool idea! he looks so at peace and relaxed strumming it here in this piece, it's very soothing!
sanyaarter - I love the all the blush details here! not just on the face and the ears but on the fingers too as he's giving the peace sign! also I'm just a huge fan of peace signs anyway ✌️ ☮️

i mean yeah i know that the reason i’m so drawn in by the maelstrom that is K/S is because their canon story of mutual respect and discovery of both the universe and each other and what both of those things mean to them inside the context of their relationship shows me that yes, indeed there is such a thing as soulmates and yes i know that the presence of such in the world tells me that endings don’t really mean much when you love someone so deeply and on every level able to be conceived of because in the face of such devotion what is death or the nothingness of space, what does the cold mean when you harbor such warmth in your heart
but other than that, can’t imagine why it compels me

cold mornings
Yeah, it's just fluffy dadmight 😁
Toshinori used to like cold mornings, the brisk air of autumn and winter waking him better than any caffeinated beverage could do. He recalls with fondness frosted dawns and long runs in his youth. He enjoyed pushing his body to its limits in more ways than one, Japanese winters bringing thick snows and cold temperatures, yet still Toshinori would persist.
It has been a long time now since he could say the same of his current self. No, now the cold sends him cowering indoors and under piles of blankets. His priorities have become warm mugs of tea to soothe aching joints and thick socks to keep his feet serviceable with poor circulation.
And yet, he finds himself on this bench at 6 a.m. every weekday morning, watching his boy round a patch of grass encircled by a concrete track.
“One more lap, Izuku!” he yells, hands cupped around his mouth. He has to lower the scarf he keeps wrapped up to his nose to be heard, hands encased in thick mittens as frail snowflakes fall from a clear, blue, winter sky. They accumulate like glitter on the grass, the sun shining like miniature prisms until the accumulation of them is nearly blinding Toshinori. The air is bitingly cold, but still he sits and waits, a thermos full of coffee sitting beside him in wait, too. Izuku waves tiredly, letting Toshinori know he has been heard.
Toshinori smiles.
Shivers are creeping up his spine by the time his boy is done. Izuku drags himself back to the bench with only the very last dredges of his energy, until he finally sits bonelessly at Toshinori’s side, steam wafting off of him in waves. Toshinori is proud of him for sticking to his routine even in the bitter chill and he holds out his hands in wait when Izuku is finally able to lift up his head enough to look over at him.
“Come here.”
Izuku, with limp muscles, lifts his hands up to greet Toshinori’s, and in practiced movements, the man removes two sets of gloves and grasps Izuku’s bare hands. Toshinori’s fingers are warm from the thick fabric and Izuku’s are frigid, kept warm by only exercise and the way he clenches them into fists when he runs.
Toshinori cups Izuku’s cold fingertips between his heated palms and rubs back and forth, blowing warm air onto them in turns. By the way Izuku’s shoulders slump by degrees, Toshinori knows he was right in assuming how the cold will have made old injuries ache. He understands, after all. After he is finished he gives the boy his thicker pair of mittens. Izuku does not protest; they’ve done this enough times, after all.
“Coffee?” Toshinori asks, already pouring the boy a cup from the steaming thermos, the smell of roasted beans wafting into his nose even through the scarf.
Izuku hums. Toshinori has to bite down the urge to laugh at just how little Izuku talks when he’s this tired; this is the only time the boy isn’t talking his ear off about one thing or another. Not that he minds, of course. What was it about variety being the spice of life?
Glitter falls from the sky and they both sit back against the bench, morning cold enveloping them in its embrace, and Toshinori wonders at it all.
No, Toshinori does not like the cold, but he loves his boy, and mornings spent like this make up for any discomfort he could possibly be feeling. After all, he made Izuku a promise to watch over him and raise him, and he can deal with a few low temperatures to do so.
“Thanks, All Might,” Izuku says hoarsely. His face is tilted up towards the sun, soaking in every ray of heat he can possibly find. His breathing has evened. Toshinori eyes the circle of sweat that rounds the neck of his sweatshirt, knowing they should go inside soon so Izuku doesn’t catch a chill.
He smiles. They can wait for a few more minutes.
Toshinori tilts his head up to match, closing his eyes, and together they enjoy what a cold morning can bring.

obsessed with the cosmic joke that Spock’s lifemate would be Kirk.
my mans spends his entire life trying not to be human, to keep a very prominent space between his Vulcan heritage and the lesser half of himself
only to be thrust under James T. Kirks’s manic, oftentimes mildly suicidal, gut-following command. his ancestors are laughing.
because goddammit he likes it.

I can’t live peacefully in a world where Jim and Spock don’t grow old together, into forever at each other’s sides, always getting into trouble until one of them finally admits (it’s Spock, on Jim’s disgruntled behalf) that, “Perhaps they should slow down a fraction in their later years”.
Only for their post-space-faring days to be spent torturing the next generation of Starfleet that can’t parse a Vulcan’s dry sense of humor and therefore they think Spock hates them all, until Jim comes in to play ‘good cop’ and pats him on the shoulder as they then speak about the glory days to anyone that will listen.
They’ll be old professors and Spock will enjoy every moment he can sit still and sink into his research while Jim terrorizes whatever starbase they’re on with his younger-than-his-years antics.
They will fall asleep in each other’s arms and always make sure to catch at least one meal a day together no matter how busy they get.
They do not separate. This does not end. And fairytales can happen, for two lovers, brothers, friends.

My #1 post of 2022
I’m being so normal about the idea of Spock learning to physically care for humans through his relationship with Jim. So normal about him diving into his memories for how his mother used to give him creature comforts that he slowly learned to bat away as his more Vulcan traits were desired and how he comes to a new appreciation for the small things like a touch to the arm or a mug of tea of an evening.
No matter that the temperature controls are always set where they should be, Jim likes a blanket over his shoulders as they sit and play chess or chat and Spock takes care of this. It doesn’t matter that Jim’s clothes are always neat and pristine, before they enter the bridge he would always check himself over, dusting off his shoulders in habit; Spock does this now, with a nod to answer Jim’s appreciative smile.
I’m so normal about Spock learning to appreciate the small courtesies and going out of his way for someone else, an illogical thing to do, really. Jim is a grown man who can take care of himself.
All the same, Spock does it. And he finds it isn’t so illogical after all when Jim looks at him like that.

-Ghøst
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Sunlight pours onto my face, nearly blinding my unprotected eyes. The curtains I’d very clearly remembered closing last night had been thrown open by the woman standing next to them.
“Wake up beautiful!”
Ash’s voice is shockingly loud at this time, causing me to pull the covers over my head. But, of course they’d been yanked away from me.
“You need to get up and go out! Find some hot people to mingle with,” she says pulling me by my arm. My hair resembles a birds nest, and dried drool crusts at the side of my mouth. Id been in bed for a generous amount of time, the clock reading 10:57.
“Why are you screaming right now?” I ask my voice raspy from sleep.
“Are you hungover?”
Before I Can protest, she grabs my face with both of her hands and stretches my skin to open my droopy eye lids.
She is right, I am very much hungover. I hadn’t gone out to a club, or party last night. I wish I had because the sad truth is I had drank almost a whole bottle of red wine.
“You are,” she lets go of my face, and my fingers rub both of my temples “y/n, you need to get out! Go have fun without alcohol.”
The suggestion has me flopping back onto the bed with a groan.
Ash and I have been friends since freshman year of high school. She’d always been the rebellious teenage girl, while I was the straight A book worm. Now although, the roles have reversed.
Ash is a successful tattoo artist, and has been sober for three years now. Me on the other hand, I’m still in college deciding what to do with my life, and I drink until I black out almost every night.
“Ash, Im twenty-four years old. I can do what I want!”
She sighs and flops down next to me. Her hair mixes with mine spread out above our heads. She takes my hand, her hands slightly smaller in mine but always manage to make me feel safe.
“Y/n, i know you can do what you want. I just hate seeing you like this,” she props her head up on her palm to look at my face “I love you. So that’s why I need you to get out. Please?”
When Ash had said “go out” I assumed she meant a club or bar. But I’m kind of relived to see her car pull into an outside shopping mall. It’s sunset, golden sunlight peaking just behind the buildings. There’s a slight breeze that feels refreshing in the summer heat, and only a few people scatter the area.
“Ooh! They have a record store!” She points to a building called “Hope’s Records” and immediately rushes out of the car. I get out myself and see her opening the glass door of the shop.
I’m about to walk in, when the store next to it catches my attention instead. A large building with wide glass windows and fairy lights strung across the doors seems to call my name.
When I walk in rows of book shelves and tables fill the area. It smells like vanilla and that infamous “book smell” I love so dearly.
My love for books had never gone away in the years I’d gone through the hell of college. Books often act as my safe space. The wondrous world of fantasy and romance, or the horrifyingly bone chilling horror stories that books contain can transfer you into a completely different world. All from just words on pages.
I haven’t been to a book store in at least a year, usually preferring to order my books online even if I have to wait an amount of time. But now being back in one, I realize going to a book store isn’t just to get books, but for the comforting atmosphere as well.
“Hello, Welcome! Feel free to look around and discover new adventures!”
I immediately head to the fantasy section, in dire need to find a new distraction that doesn’t come in a glass bottle. Books of fairies, vampires, dystopian worlds, and monsters line the shelves. I sometimes wonder how many words are collectively in bookstores. Even this section alone is enough to drown me completely.
I take a book in my hands, the cover golden and words written in cursive. The classic trope of a strong warrior woman defeating an evil monster, while finding love through the process. I tuck it under my arm, and I can already feel how light my wallet is going to be after this trip.
Somehow in only ten minutes three more books end up in my arms, all different genres.
I make my way to the horror section with a basket now in my hands, and I rush to a book that catches my attention so fast I don’t notice the other person with me.
My hands grab the black cover, but another larger one collides with mine. The coldness of them jolts me back, and I come face to face with the person next to me.
“I-I’m sorry, I”
I cut off my own words to save myself from embarrassment. I haven’t been in contact with another person other than Ash in at least a month. Especially a person this… beautiful.
The man stands a few inches taller than me and has jet black hair. His eyes are deep brown, and skin pale white. A slight blush covers his cheeks, his lips the same color.
“No, it’s fine.” He says. His voice is deep yet calm, and it makes my stomach erupt in butterflies.
I don’t even catch myself staring into his eyes until the bell rings signaling another person has come in, snapping me out of my gaze. The man smirks and puts his hand out for me to shake.
“My name is Yoongi”
“I’m Y/n”
His smirk turns to a gummy smile, and I can’t help but smile myself. I looked at the book we both grabbed for and took it into my hands.
“Have you read it before?”
His voice startled me a little bit as I put the book into my basket. I shake my head no, and he grabs one for himself.
“Have you?” I ask him. A small smile appears on his lips.
“Many times,” he looks back into my eyes, “it’s probably one of my favorites. I’m just here to get a new copy. My original one is in pretty bad shape…”
I know the feeling myself all too well. There are many books that I’ve had since middle school that I still hold onto dearly. Some are literally hanging on by a thread, so getting a new copy is the smartest move.
“I have at least three copies of Little Women. I tend to destroy my favorite books from how much I read them.” He chuckles. His eyes creace into crescent moons when he does. I can already feel a warmth in my face at just the sound of his laugh.
“I love little women! I cry everytime…” I sheepishly admit.
“Don’t tell anyone I told you this but… I cry everytime i read it too…”
I giggle at his confession, covering my mouth with the back of my hand. My basket is long forgotten by now, the weight on my forearm from holding it the last thing on my mind. The more I paid attention, the more details I could spot on Yoongi’s face.
The cute dimples on his cheeks when he smiled, the way his arms crossed and fingers fiddled with the rings on them, or the way he would press his lips together when I’d say something particularly interesting.
“Do you want to get some coffee? There’s this really good place my friend Tae works at.” Yoongi says motioning around the corner of the street.
A smile makes way onto my face almost too quickly for my liking, and I agree.
After paying for my books and sending a quick text to Ash about where I am going, the cool night air greets me as I walk side by side with Yoongi.
He tells me about his dog, Holly, and how he had never been an animal person until he got him. I, in return, tell him about my sassy black cat named Jude.
Speaking with him is strange to say the least. I feel a warmth in my chest whenever I make him laugh, and we never seem to have an awkward moment of silence. Either we’re talking about books, our pets, childhood memories, or how annoying our best friends can be, it all just seems so natural.
“So you’re telling me,” Yoongi puts his coffee down, laughing in the process “she put a tack on your chair?!”
My eyes wrinkle with a wide smile, the memories of that day in sophomore year flooding back to me.
“Yes! Ash put a fucking tack on my chair!” Yoongi silently laughs, his eyes almost closed.
“I swear my ass hurt for at least two days after that!”
Our faces are red from laughter, and my coffee is already long forgotten and empty. Yoongi had already thrown away his paper cup a while ago, and our bags of books we bought sit at our feet.
Multiple childhood memories had been shared in the short hour we had sat here. I have never felt more comfortable outside of my house without Ash or my mom. I’m not good at talking to people, but talking with Yoongi felt extremely natural.
I’m about to share another story about one of Ash and I’s high school adventures, when the front door bell chimes behind me.
“Oh what do we have here?”
“Speak of the devil…” I say already knowing who it is. My suspicions are proved correct when I see Ash’s very obviously smug face.
“I leave you unattended for an hour and you already have a date? Honestly I’m impressed!” She laughs.
My face turns red at her calling this a “date” but Yoongi only smiles in return, looking at my best friend.
“So you’re the famous Ash?”
“Why, yes I am!”
She’s holding two bags in her hand, one from the record store, and the other from a vintage clothing store she visits often.
“Thank you,Yoongi. You were right, the coffee was really good”
The cold night breeze ruffles his hair adorably, and his gummy smile makes an appearance once again.
“No, thank you for letting me take you.” He looks to his feet for a moment, a nervous tic I assume “and thank you for the conversation. I really like talking to you…”
I’m flustered at his statement, my face feeling hot, despite the night’s temperature. Now I’m the one looking at the ground, my own nervous tics showing themselves.
“I really like talking to you too”
We’re both smiling like blushing idiots, and Ash seems to notice this with a smirk.
“Let’s go, lover girl! We have a girls night ahead of us!” She yells from her car. Yoongi chuckles slightly at her whistles when he steps closer to me. A piece of paper, a napkin actually, slips into my hand.
“Call me” the napkin has his phone number sketched in it “you know… so you can tell me how that book is”
I pocket the napkin, my heart racing in my chest. I swear I can feel the organ hit my rib cage with the force it’s beating with
“I will” is all I can manage to say, walking to the car with a little more pep in my walk. I see him wave from the front of the coffee shop as we drive away, and a dreamy smile makes its way onto my face without me even noticing.
“See what happens when you listen to me! You get yourself a cute ass boyfriend!”
My bags are thrown onto the couch in my living room as soon as the front door opens.
“He is cute, huh?” I laugh, ignoring the ping of excitement in my chest at the mere mention of the word “boyfriend”. My hands are empty except for the book I’d grabbed, leading to me meeting the cute older boy we’re speaking of.
“Look at you! You look like you just had your first kiss! Awww my baby is so grown up!” Ash pinches my cheeks after dropping her bags along with mine and I push her away with a laugh.
“I feel like I just had my first kiss! I mean we didn’t even kiss, but my head feels light, and my chest is warm, and my mouth hurts from smiling, and-“
“Sounds like your diagnosis is… love! The symptoms all point to it…”
I groan into my hands, flopping onto the couch. I feel dizzy with a pinch of sadness from our little outing. Dizzy with the memory of that damn gummy smile, and sad that I had to leave that damn gummy smile.
Ash walks over to my hunched form on the couch, a paper bag in her hands. It reads “Jin’s classics”, the name of a vintage store in the same outside mall we’d just been to.
“I’m so glad I had the instinct to buy this for you…”
My head perks up with interest when I hear the crinkle of paper, and when I look I’m too stunned to speak. She pulls out a sun dress with lace lining the hem of the skirt and torso. The fabric is polka dotted and dark blue in color. It stops just above the knees and it’s truly beautiful.
“Next time you see lover boy,” she places the dress into my lap, “wear this. You’ll blow him away!”
My heat quickens at just the thought of impressing him, and I take the dress in my hands. It’s soft and comfortable enough to be casually worn while still looking elegant.
The whole night horror movies play while we talk about how dumb the main characters are for even getting themselves into the situations they do. But I can’t help but think of the cute boy I’d met today. The way he spoke and slipped the napkin into my hand had my skin heating up.
When Ash and I make our way to my balcony, glasses of chocolate milk in our hands, I wish on a shooting star that flies by. I wish that I could one day wear that dress and “blow away” Yoongi. It’s childish, but he makes me feel like that, even after meeting him for the first time.

And I’m glad I did wish on that star with all my might, because I wake up to a text message the next morning. It’s from Yoongi, and it’s crazy how the simple question starts me up so quickly.
“How does coffee sound this morning? I want to hear your thoughts on the book is all ;)”

Convert Anon💜 here!!
It’s almost five in the morning and i have just made my sisters breakfast and tea(chocolate chip pancakes) and the reason why I’m up and not sleeping is cause of Fajr but i got my period yesterday and forgot so as i was getting up i remembered and decided to screw it, this is how i start my day
Also tea with brown sugar is so tasty mmmmm
Also I’m randomly thinking of scenarios where the twst characters react to us being up at four am
Jamil and Kalim would probably be more chill cause they would maybe have something similar to Fajr(me remembering the ramadan series lovingly💜) or Jamil thinking someone broke in and has a mini heart attack and Kalim just is asleep or screams when he sees us in the dark
The octotrio either being surprised and scared as we are vibing in the dark and didn’t see us(Azul), Curious(Jade) or a trying to get us back to sleep(Floyd maybe??)
Malleus would probably be awake cause he gives sleeps very little vibes(as does Lilia) and they would vibe with you in the early hours
Good Morning Convert Anon💜💙🌸🌺
You’re such a good sibling Convert Anon 💜 You’re so sweet for making your sisters breakfast. I wish my older sibling did the same 😔
Ahjssjs that’s a great mind set to start off the day 👏👏💕💕 remember to take it easy okay? Don’t strain yourself too much convert anon💜 take some pain killers if you need too and hot water bottle is always a major help for me. Also take naps, make sure to eat and stay hydrated 💕💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ll have to try it, I haven’t had brown tea with sugar before 👏👏 my mom usually makes this wheat noodle dessert with brown sugar that’s really tasty 🤤
You 🤝 Me staying up at unreasonable early morning hours.
Snskksksss I’m always so happy to see people love my Ramadan series 🙏🙏💜💜 thank you so much 💕💕it always makes me happy.
Maybe kalim and jamil woke up to prayer (at least on the days jamil can wake kalim up lol) and they hear clanking in the kitchen.
Jamil: whose in my kitchen.
Kalim: it’s the prefect
Mc: *munching* good morning, have you finished prayer?
Jamil: why are you eating/drinking such a sweet thing in the morning?!
Kalim: can I have some??
Grim: I want to sleeep.
Ooooohh 🤔🤔🤔 octatrio, now there’s a thought
Maybe azul is like, is someone stealing his contracts? And he just sees the reader just sitting in the dark eating snacks. Jade finds it curious that you were able to get into that room without anyone noticing and Floyd just wants his body pillow back in his room 💕💕
Malleus and Lilia would definitely be awake, besides being night faeries (I think that’s what they are called). Malleus just stays awake and lilia just plays games.
…wish I had their stamina. Lolol
Malleus would hang out with you while you make breakfast and wait for your prayer to end. And lilia would offer to make food for you and you just kick him out of the kitchen, no need for early morning poisoning thank you very much 😅
Malleus and lilia would hear you recite your prayers, especially if your the type to say then out loud.
And they would just feel this sense of calm that you feel, your voice is soothing in the quiet still of the night 💜🌸💙

One of my favourite cosy little autumn indulgences is the child horror genre. I love old Halloween TV specials and made-for-TV Halloween movies, and I adore all types of Halloween books made for kids especially the ones that are Genuine Horror rather than just trick or treating stories.
Since there's so many limitations to what can reasonably be put in a kids book, it takes away some of the tropes that are staples in adult horror and, in my experience, really forces the author to be creative in their presentation if they want the story to actually be scary. Delicious. So, like every other Halloween, I had to go out of my way to try reading at least a few of those!
Tumblr media
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians
I saw this book in a library a while back and the title was just so eyecatching that I haven’t been able to forget it. I finally gave it a go and it was very worth it — I thought it would be a rather mediocre middle grade adventure but it was actually something rather special!
It creates a very quirky world where the world that we’re used to is “Librarian Controlled” (the Hushlands), and the knowledge we’re fed is very carefully curated to keep us under control. The rest of the world is aware of how much bigger things are, and are able to use all sorts of strange technologies and magics. One significant magic is that of “oculators”, people who can use special sands to create magical lenses that give them all sorts of unique powers.
The main character, an orphan shunted through the foster system due to his tendency to destroy anything he touches, finds out that he was left a very unusual inheritance by his parents: a sack of plain looking sand. At least it seems plain until his bizarre grandfather — who has the “talent” of always being five minutes late to things — appears out of nowhere and informs him that he’s from a family of oculators and that they must, simply must retrieve that precious sand…
The one downside is that it does have the frustratingly common misogyny that you expect in a "boy's adventure" novel, so that sucked. But otherwise, the narrator’s voice is very funny and snide, with a lot of Snicket-style meta-narration. If you want a light adventures, this is worth trying — scratches a similar itch to Harry Potter in my opinion. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.
Tumblr media
Dead Voices
I had read the first book of this series, Small Spaces, a couple Halloweens ago, and figured that this would be a nice book to pick up this Halloween. “Child horror” is a genre that I really love — it has a very specific vibe that really is unmatched in any other genre or style. It’s one of my favourite, cosiest memories about autumn! So I love an excuse to read a well-written youth horror.
This series by Katherine Arden absolutely hits that nostalgic autumnal child terror, and she actually does it well enough to give an adult some chills, ha! In this book, Ollie, Coco, and Brian, who have bonded since defeating the Smiling Man the previous fall, have arranged to all go on a skiing trip up in the mountains with Ollie’s dad and Coco’s mom. However things take a bad turn when a snowstorm strands them in the nearly-deserted ski resort, and the voices of the dead start whispering their dark secrets and lies to them… The resort has a much darker past than they could have guessed, and some of those ancient cruelties haven't let go yet.
Tumblr media
The Fifth Elephant
Continuing to reread Terry Pratchett novels to self-sooth. The Fifth Elephants is one of my all-time favourites and it’s been a while since I last picked it up. In this book, Sam Vimes finds himself roped into playing diplomat when Lord Vetinari sends him, his wife, and a small entourage up into the largely-uncharted and mysterious Uberworld. In a land where Ankh-Morpork’s law and Vimes’ badge carry little weight, he finds himself forced to investigate a theft that could throw everything into turmoil, and which puts him directly in the middle of the violent machinations of the dwarves, werewolves, and vampires who are vying for control of the region…
Tumblr media
Goosebumps: Trapped In Bat Wing Hall
I loved Goosebumps as a kid. I still love Goosebumps, let’s be honest. Trapped In Bat Wing Hall was one of my favourites — it was one of the only choose your own adventure books that I owned, and me, my brother, and my friend would sit in my bed during the fall and read it together, trying to find the best ending and getting ourselves spooked (and killed) along the way.
In this specific book, You end up joining a new friend when he goes to participate in The Horror Club -- a strange group of kids that meet in the abandoned mansion and the end of the dead end street. Only, they're not sitting around and telling scary stories tonight like they usually do. Tonight is games night, and you're forced to choose a team to join in on this deadly game.
Tumblr media
Guardian Herd: Starfire
Hoo boy. This series. All I wanted was a chill talking animal book to listen to on a long drive. Well, it was a cute animal adventure story along a similar bend to Warriors, so I'll give it that. The premise is that once every hundred years a black pegasus foal is born and on its first birthday it will either become a “destroyer” or a “healer” who will “unite the five herds”. Most of the black foals over the past several hundred years have been killed rather than risk the danger they pose. Star is the latest black foal, and with his long, dragging wings he’s one who can’t even fly. Feared and scorned, all Star wants to do is reach his first birthday, but with war pressing in from neighbouring herds and mistrust within his own, that seems increasingly unlikely.
Sadly, it was a very mediocre book with lax lustre world building. Kind of expected it, since it mostly just seems like a knock off trying to capitalize on this particular genre. Still, I liked how it explored the actual physical problems a pegasus would have with oversized wings and the health ramifications. That was interesting. It had a few intriguing points and I had an enjoyable enough time reading it, enough so to try the sequel…
Tumblr media
Guardian Herd: Stormbound
But the sequel. Oh the sequel. Okay, the first one definitely had a christian lean that was hard to ignore, but the second book ramped that up beyond the point I could ignore. The bits I found the most interesting in book one were over by this point, and now we’re just left with… this. The Brave Chosen One Trying To Be a Pacifist Leader And Do What’s Right. It was as dull as it sounded.
I don’t know the bible well enough to tell if this is an actual full-on intentional allegory, but at the very least it’s so baked in cultural christianity that all I can do is roll my eyes. I gave up when it started trying to explain why Christ— sorry, why Star couldn’t use his healing magic to, yknow, heal the pegasi. Or use any of his powers to actually help people. Because basic universal health care would like, decrease the quality of their lives or something? I don’t know man, it was so american. We had pony!Jesus, pony!Judas, pony!Mary, the whole fucking kit and kaboodle.  Couldn’t finish, it was rough.
Tumblr media
The Lost Rainforest: Mez’s Magic
A talking animal book that was significantly more fun that the Jesus Pegasus books. It dragged a bit towards the end, but over all it was an enjoyable adventure, fast-paced, and you could tell the author really cared about animals and knew his shit. It’s what led to me looking into his other stuff, actually. The characters managed to walk that very precarious balance between feeling like they could be authentic animals, while still being fun, interesting characters with their own personalities and voices.
In this rainforest, the animals of night and day are very distinct. Animals that walk by night will, without fail, fall asleep as soon as dawn arrives and be unable to rise until dusk, and vice versa. Never shall the two mix. Except for a few, strange, unnatural animals that were born during the eclipse. Unable to sleep when they’re supposed to, and brimming with strange, unknown magic, they become known as "shadow walkers" and are feared. However an ancient evil, one heralded by the ants and which walks in those between times, is beginning to awaken, and these shadow walkers are slowly recruited one by one to try to save the rainforest.
Tumblr media
Night Lunch
This is a beautifully made picture book that I read because I honestly just love everything made by Eric Fan. Barnabus Project and It Fell From The Sky are two that stand out as very strange, almost eerie picture books that have the most stunning art. I would recommend checking them out, they all hit differently than most of the standard picture books on the market right now.

Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): the Natural World of Animal Sexuality
A book I found because I was looking into Eliot Schrefer’s other works! This is a pop-sci work written for a teen and up audience that looks into how fascinating and diverse sexuality and gender is within the natural world. It breaks down the idea that queerness in humans could ever be unnatural, but it is, literally and factually, incorrect. Animals have always lived in a way that extends far beyond humans' very binary views of sex and gender.
Though the language is very accessible and Schrefer has a very engaging way of writing, the facts are presenting in very solid way and include further works to look into for more detailed information; I certainly look a lot from it! I absolutely devoured it and I don’t usually enjoy nonfiction that much, so for anyone that wants to look at sexuality through a scientific lens it is very worth reading and feels super validating.

Raising Steam
This is actually my first time reading Raising Steam all the way through. I had bought it when it first came out, but found I was too emotional about Sir Terry’s declining health to be able to settle into it.
Over all, I had mixed feelings about it. It certainly wasn’t one of my favourites, and I dislike it as a Lipwig book. I really passionately love Going Postal and Making Money so this one felt very… out of sync. The length of time it covered and really just sort of... summarized was odd, especially for a Lipwig book which are usually more high energy and deal with very immediate and active problems. And then Moist himself felt like he had become as a different character that just didn’t hit right for me. I think I would have enjoyed it more if Lipwig had been entirely removed from the plot and it had been left as a standalone that focused on Harry King and Dick Simnel.
That being said, you can really see how it was meant to be a final, relentless, furious cry to the heavens to treat people like people. To look at the evils and the isolation and the lies and the pettiness of the world and to fight back. To not let the narrow minded, cruel people who want to drag the world backwards win, to force a better world, one step at a time, one railway tie at a time. And I can really respect that.

The Ribbajack // A Wolf at the Door
I’m going to talk about both of these at the same time because I had a similar experience with both. They’re both collections of “horror” short stories that I had been saving for Halloween, and I’m sad to say that neither really did it for me. The Ribbajack was a collection of short stories by Brian Jacques which I bought specifically because it’s ~*Brian Jacques*~, and A Wolf at the Door has an assortment of stories by various authors that all retell fairytales in some ways. 
A Wolf at the Door had a few stories that were very enjoyable and that I was glad to have read, but predominantly I thought a lot of the retellings/modernizations were rather… trite. I’ve seen tumblr come up with more interesting revisionings.
The Ribbajack I think I was even more disappointed in. I love the Redwall series and I figured Brian Jacques could do no wrong but… oof. It’s not even that they’re bad, I just found the writing style overwhelming boring. I couldn’t get through the titular story which I heard is supposed to be the best of the lot, and when I skimmed through some of the others to see if they got better none of the others managed to grab me. So I didn’t finish that one. A shame, but c’est la vie.

series masterlist characters: scaramouche, fischl, mona genre: fluff summary: a game has been released entitled genshin impact, consisting of otherworldly abilities relying on the basic elements of nature. the game follows the story of an interdimensional traveling twin in search of their other half. along this journey, they meet different characters that live in this world. including you. notes: i'm sorry fischl and mona's aren't that good :(( this is actually my first time writing for them but i hope you enjoy <33
scaramouche's playthrough -
oof scara
scara scara scara
this boy hates his chat and at this point they don't care.
it's not like he'll badmouth them, right?
think ludwig.
that's him.
he's a very angy boy please--
as for what he does?
much like childe he'd do a lot of pvp games.
he's not too keen on showing off his personal life.
he prefers that boundary between his viewers and himself, y'know?
he honestly doesn't even understand why his viewers like him.
he knows he's a mean person and yet here they are :/
he doesn't take requests from his viewers he just kinda plays whatever he wants.
imagine his viewers' surprise when they see him streaming genshin--
they asked why a lot.
"it seemed cool."
this man just wants to play some good ol' anime games.
his chat calls him soft and he just glares.
anyway now he's actually playing.
he's not really into mondstadt's characters they're all... okay to him.
he feels a bit better in liyue.
not because it's pretty oh no no no.
because look at all the enemies outside >:))
he'll clear the whole field don't test him.
anyway, now onto the unreconciled stars event :00
this man really doesn't like katheryne--
anyway at this point he's tasked with find fritz, which he doesn't really want to do.
he sees the dude on the ground but that's only after he sees someone standing next to him.
and then he sees someone standing next to him :0
"is the guy on the floor sleeping?"
"i believe so. i've tried everything, but he won't wake up."
he will pause to look at your outfit.
it's so complex but it's so cool!!!
his chat suspects something's up but... he'll just snap at them like he normally does.
but he'll silently admire you <3
also yOU'RE T I N Y ! !
and then paimon points out your clothes and the cameras pans up your body--
"heh... and by "this person over here," you mean me, right?"
he will choose the "those unique clothes are quite beautiful" option in a heartbeat.
he doesn't care that his chat is teasing him, he just wants you to know :))
he's kinda sad when you leave, though...
"please come back soon..."
his CHAT HAS NEVER SEEN HIM SO SOFT BEFORE
skip to a few events later when the constellation is revealed to be leonard's.
the sudden cutscene catches him off guard because he's prepared to fight someone.
"hi! sounds interesting... mind if i join you?"
he won't say anything but he will physically relax at the sight of you.
you make this man soft please--
he's lowkey angry when his character is teleported away from you :(
(name): the sixth of the eleven fatui harbingers
HYPEHYPEHYPE
YOU'RE SO COOL!
of course he doesn't say that but his chat can tell that's what he's thinking.
this man's eyes go wide when you order the fatui around.
please help he really likes you. you're so assertive and cute and cool and just AGH--
fischl's playthrough -
fischl can and will do cosplay streams.
her fans like to watch her because of the "character" she puts up for the camera.
honestly she just does this because she genuinely enjoys cosplaying and bringing characters to life.
oz is the nickname for her pet bird :))
she definitely gets a lot of trolls in her chat that make fun of her for her cosplays and "dumb" way of speaking.
in which case she'll just yell at them using her "dumb" way of speaking.
she really does care about how people see her but her chat comforts her a lot after, so she feels better after a few minutes :))
the games she plays are very fantasy based and take place in worlds that don't exist.
once she gets into a game, she'd pick her favorite character and cosplay as them everytime she streams that game.
sometimes she does sewing streams where she actually makes her own cosplay with her fans.
they like to make it with her if they have the materials :D
genshin impact was a game her fans recommended because they actually want to see fischl cosplay the characters.
they will beg her to do the cosplay creation on stream.
(they defintitely know who she'll choose to cosplay but it's fine)
when she reaches the unreconciled stars event, she's really excited to learn about the fated meteorite granting sleep upon touch.
she's ready to go around teyvat in search of an answer when...
"katheryne! vassal of the immernachtreich, do mine ears deceive me, or didst thou cry out mine holy name in earnest supplication not one moment ago?"
some of her chat is obviously confused by your speech but her long time viewers can understand some of it.
oz, who fischl had brought with her to play, seems excited to see your familiar flying to you :)
fischl is just as excited as he is!!
please you speak just like her and you're voice is so nice and it actually sounds like the developers put thought into what the speech would mean in "proper speech."
"a pleasure to meet you again, katheryne."
YOU'RE FAMILIAR IS JUST AS COOL AS YOU ARE!!
some of her viewers will beg for her to skip through your dialogue.
when she sees those comments, she will purposefully let your dialogue play out, proceed to read out that same dialogue, and respond to you as if she was actually talking to you.
not just to spite them but because it's also a lot of fun for her <3
"it would seem the gods have blessed us with meeting such a well-respected being!"
translation: she's really excited to have met you.
as soon as you spoke she decided she would cosplay as you.
she's already planning out all of the materials she'll need and how much time it would take.
if your familiar is a bird, you best bet oz will be in her photo shoots for your cosplay.
most of the time you're on screen, she'll talk to her viewers about you in her classic chuunibyou style <333
she's really sad when it's time for you to leave :(((
"... goodbye, fischl. you are a good listener. i enjoy chatting with you. to be honest, most of the other adventurers in the guild only ever talk to me when they wanna hear (familiar)'s reconnaissance reports... this little journey we had... it was a great adventure. i'm just sorry that is has to end so abruptly..."
she might cry wait--
she relates to you even more now :(
"ah! what am i doing? i totally broke form..."
you're too cute pleas--
mona's playthrough -
mona does a lot of nightly streams.
it's very rare for you to catch her streaming with daylight.
she likes to share things about astrology while sitting outside drinking something warm.
she'll do a lot of nightly gaming streams as well.
mainly calmer games that people can vibe to in the background.
she prefers to keep her streams lowkey and chill, much like the life she wants to lead.
if only she had the money to do so...
yes, mona is still struggling with money even as a streamer.
she greatly appreciates any donations her fans give to her because she practically relies on them to pay her rent and daily necessities.
of course, it's not like she's completely struggling, just enough to barely get her by.
anyway, her fans ask her about playing genshin impact, inticing her with their talk about the stars and night sky in the game.
she's the type of player to take her time in the environment and take a lot of pictures of her character at night.
she's actually really excited when she hears about this new event centering around the stars and sky :D
soon enough, she gets around to the part where she is need of an astrologist.
she's HYPED to hear there's an astrologist in the game.
"someone looking for me? who is it?"
she will squeal, please.
look at you!!!
your whole design has stars and is space-themed and you're so cute and you're voice is so soothing ! ! !
she really likes listening to you talk about astrology because your voice gets even softer than before.
that scene where you go to the cliff??
please she has that scene as her lockscreen <3
you just look so cool when you start to do your process.
you're so focused and the way they animate your process in the game is beautiful.
and then the fatui harbinger interrupts one of your meetings :00
you grab onto mona's character and teleport away in a cloud of stars and specks of your elemental vision.
she's kinda embarrassed when you scold her about getting involved with the harbinger--
but not only are you really cool and awesome, you're super strong, too!
please be sassy more she really likes how proud you sound :))
