hi can i get a percy x daughter of persephone fic where they have been best friend since before camp and are in love with each other and finally confess. p.s. love ur writing
⋆ ˚｡⋆౨ৎ˚ Lotuses, Water Lilies, And All These Lovely Things
content: percy jackson x daughter of persephone! reader fic
warning: none???? i don't believe????
author's note: you wanna know what's crazy???? i was fighting for my life to write this and then i put on hozier and it just...wrote itself??? wtf???? what is that man doing to me???? it was actually kinda scary wtf???
look, percy didn't want to a be a half blood. but, he especially didn't want drag his best friend down with him. she was the only one person, other than his mom, who managed to stick around for so long. she bounced schools with him, mostly because she got grouped in with whatever problems percy managed to cause. he felt so much guilt about it, but she'd just wave him off, saying she would have followed him either way.
he couldn't remember when y/n came into his life, it just felt like she'd always been there. they had things they could bond over; she was raised by a single dad and percy was just raised by his mom. she struggled in school, almost nearly as bad as he did. oh, and they both had godly parents.
percy and y/n had been avid summer campers at camp half blood for nearly three years at this point and not much had changed between them. sure, percy had discovered he could control tons and tons of water and y/n's green thumb increased immensely but they were still just each other's best friend.
just best friends. that's it. that's all they're ever be.
at least, that's what you told yourself, late at night, inside your lonely cabin. persephone didn't have many children, as she had grown fond of hades over the years and they'd been attending godly couple's therapy for a few millennia to sort out their issues. you'd purely been an accident between your mother and your father, a florist with an affliction for using fruit in his arragnments. persephone had a fling with him, producing you. strangely enough, hades had no ill will towards you, he even offered for you to stay in the Underworld with your mother during the winter and fall seasons. you'd told him you'd think about it, and to your surprise, you actually had been thinking about it.
while it sucks finding out you were never intended to be born (loose term here, seeing as you kinda just plopped out of a flower), but its better than the alternative, being born for a purpose...like percy. you'd always felt bad for the boy, forced to live under constant expectations of being something great or nothing at all. you didn't know how he did it.
which is why, at every opportunity, you'd bring percy away from the hassle of camp and towards the woods, bobbing and weaving through the trees until you stumbled upon your favorite spot in all of camp. far in the reaches of the forest, a pond sat. it overflowed with life, the monsters purposefully put in camp basically avoiding it. water lilies and lotuses grew in abundance, nearly covering the whole lake. clearly someone had discovered it before the two demigods, a shabby dock put there (clearly not the work of a child of hephaestus). you and percy would just hang out, listening to the sound of the babbling creek and the chirping of the birds. no words needed to be shared, which is why you were certain you loved percy. he made just being...easiler. there was no pressure with the son of the sea god.
"is a hotdog a sandwhich?" percy questioned, breaking the silence, causing you to giggle, basically rolling around in the soft grass. percy looked over with a cheeky smile, his eyes catching on how the grass seemed to chase after you and brush your skin. he never thought he'd be jealous of grass, yet here he was. he wanted it to be his skin that brushed against you, not some flimsy, photosynthesizing, piece of shi-
"hmmm. techinally, yes but my heart says no. pineapple on pizzas? yay or nah?" you shot back and percy shakes his head, trying not to get lost in thoughts of your skin, your skin on his skin with nothing much between them-
"the answer if obviously yes."
"that better be a joke, jackson."
"if you think pineapple doesn't deserve to be on pizza, you are not the person i thought you were," percy mocked back, squinting a glare at the girl, who was struggling to fight her smile down.
"Looks like we can't be best friends anymore," you dramatically reply, pressing the back of your hand to your forehead and pretending to fall back into the grass, which greedily reached up to catch up and gently lay you down on itself.
"shame," percy muttered back, pushing up with one of his elbows and looking over at her, his smile slowly slipping off and being replaced by a more serious look. you raised a questioning brow at him, but your smile was slowly slipping as well.
"what's going on in your head, sailor?"
"we can't be friends anymore," percy replied, instantly, and partnered with his serious face, didn't land the way he thought it would. you were instantly reeling, pulling away from the boy with a hurt look. the green grass turned from a vibrant shade to a depressive green and the water lilies began to drown, dragged down by there own roots.
"wait, wait, that came out wrong-"
"how the hades else should that have come out?" you bit out, glaring over at the boy and tucking in on yourself.
"no, no, y/n, i just- i meant- ugh, this is going terribly," percy groaned, shoving his head into his hands as the grass swiped out at his ankles, trying to give him paper cuts. it all stopped though as you set a hand against percy's wrist, pulling it away from his face and forcing his eyes to glance up at your patient face.
"try again," you offer, nodding your head gently as you rub your fingers over his calmingly
"you sure?"
"i promise you, it can't get any worse than that."
"rude," percy huffed, laughing with the girl for a moment before taking a calming breath.
"i mean it, y/n, we can't just be friends anymore."
"man, you love to prove me wrong, don't you?"
"hear me out. friends shouldn't look at each other the way i look at you. friends shouldn't think about each other as much as i think about you. friends really shouldn't be willing to put their whole lives on hold because one of them wanted to get lost in the woods. we can't be friends anymore because i can't go another moment longer just being your friend when i know i want more," percy ranted, getting lost in his thoughts, his hands moving about nervously and his eyes refusing to meet yours, no matter how hard you tried.
"percy-"
"and i know i'm putting all these years in danger-"
"percy-"
"but if i went another second without telling you, i think-"
"percy!" you all but shout, giggles following as percy physically jolted as though you hit him. he turned to you with wide eyes and a tilted head.
"yes?"
"just shut up and kiss me."
"wha-"
before percy could continue to yap, you jolted forwards, cupping his face and bring his lips to yours. it took percy less than a millisecond to comprehend what was happening and for him to response. he pulled your body closer to his, desperate to use all of his senses during this kiss, in hopes to lock it in even the deepest parts of his ADHD riddled mind.
not that either of you noticed, but the water lilies returned from under the water, bobbing as though they had been held down there against their will. then they began to multiply, the water lilies and lotuses nearly bursting out of the pond with how many of them there were. the pond, which never had waves, was swishing as swirling like a hurricane was wrecking havoc on it and it alone. a foam was building against the bank and riptides could just be seen swirling under the surface.
and then you two parted and the pond settled once more, like nothing had happened. you two shared a soft smile, one of secrecy and exuberance. then, like nothing had happened, you both cuddled back up with the grass, eyes darting up to the sky and silence settling back over the pair.
though, this time, their hands were firmly locked together and the grass was softly licking at both of their hands, intertwining itself to mimic their fingers and hearts.

On this day I present
Every single time Duck Newton is horrible at lying !
Episode 7
Duck: Yeah, it’s a nickname. Listen, y’all got a van handy, why don’t you hop in and get on trucking. Don’t forget to— don’t worry ‘bout your clothes. We’ll drive them up seperate.
Swimmer: Why can’t we take our clothes?
Duck: [freezing up] You need to— you need— uh. Here, I’ll get them. Y’all start loading in the van and I’ll bring your clothes out to ya’s. Just another one of the many services we offer from the Forestry Service.
Episode 10
Pigeon: Well, I know how to do it, I just wanna know why.
Duck: Perfect. Perfect. Why? It's for firefighter training? Yeah, it's for firefighter training. It's been a little while since I last told someone that, so I had some time to forget it. But it's for firefighting training, cuz we can't get enough water pressure to fight the fires, forest fires.
Pigeon: Out in Monongahela?
Duck: Yeeeeeeep.
Pigeon: Duck, that's on the opposite side of town. I can find other places that I can get you some more water pressure instead of pumping it out of the water park almost a mile away.
Duck: Yeah, but the water park is definitely gonna be closed. If you can tell me somewhere where you can guarantee that they're not gonna need that amount of water that's using that amount, I'd love to hear about it. Cus, off the top of my head, I can't improvise anything.
Pigeon: There's a reservoir right next to Monongahela.
Duck: The reservoir is a source of water but it's not gonna give other— fuck, listen Pigeon, here's the thing. I... love... to… practice fishing. But... the running water... frightens me, it's called hydrophobia. And I would love to practice my cast in a real water environment where I can get in a large body where I can guarantee that running water won't be a factor. And I would just love to practice my cast in a guaranteed still body. But here's the other thing, sometimes if you do it in a lake, that's what you're thinking, a fish will bite it and normally that's ideal, but I'm just trying to practice casting. It's like, when you don't want to catch, that's when they're biting, y’know what I mean? So I need a still body of water that I can guarantee won't move to practice my fishing casting.
Episode 13
Duck: I should’ve put some time into it, honestly, but I uh… I was real busy with family over the holidays, so I didn’t make much—
Mama: You literally just said you didn’t have any family in town over the holidays.
Duck: God dammit. Dammit!
Mama: I mean, it’s fine if you couldn’t dig anything up, but you don’t gotta lie to old Mama, you know?
Duck: Dammit! Dammit, Duck!
Mama: You don’t have to beat yourself up about it, Duck, I mean po—
Duck: Fuck!
Episode 14
EMT: Do you know what happened to him?
Duck: Oh boy…um…do you want the truth or a more convincing lie? Um, nah so, okay, right… so the Pizza Hut sign started to fall, ‘cause of the weather, and he ran up there on… a fire escape… and tried to push it? …With a bat? Damn it. Nah, he just pushed it, and it fell, but then he fell ‘cause he got shocked. I bet… mmm…I didn’t see. I was in-Ah, shit! Alright, hey fol-hey guys, rewind. I-hey guys, rewind a second. Ah fuck! I was inside, I didn’t see. Anything! I don’t know… this man. I do know this man. His name-Fuck! Alright, I Ned, hi, here's-hmmm. Alright, so this man’s name is Ned, and he’s a friend of mine, and I don’t know what the hell happened to him, but you know this guy. He’s always getting into something. I don’t know, I was in the building, I almost got killed by a Pizza Hut sign. I might be in shock!
Episode 18
Duck: Honestly… uh if I gotta tell you the truth, Juno, I’m— I was trying to get into character. I’ve been—
Juno: You’re going undercover with these teens?
Duck: —I’m going undercover. I got a undercover teenage identity. It’s— it’s Frick Richums and when I assume the identity of Frick Richums, I’m trying to get undercover, with the Hornets [hisses] so I can find their illegal grow thing. [grunts]
Juno: You are a truly miserable liar, Duck Newton.
Duck: Goddamnit! I put on such a good— damnit!
Juno: Hey, when you’re finished with the… with those, those nails. Would you mind taking them back to the station? I need to sort of keep going around the perimeter see if I can find something to, you know, maybe help with your investigation to take down those— those drug kingpins, the Hornets.
Duck: Yeah, Juno, about that. I— I was kidding about that, of course. I was just having some fun. But I did… I did hear some of them talking on...... Facebook about you and how they were gonna target you. Like they need to get you out of the way. And it kinda freaked me out a little bit. Can you think of any reason anybody would wanna get you… outta the way? Or— or be targeting you? Like… for this?
Episode 21
(Deputy Dewey is asking for alibis)
Duck: Me— Me— Me too.
Deputy Dewey: You too what? You were
Duck: Yup.
Deputy Dewey: Alright…
Duck: Me too. I was— Yup, I— Yup, me too, for both. Yup, me too. Mmm…
Aubrey: Duck, are you okay? You look like you need to use the bathroom.
Duck: Nope. Yeah, I do. Yup. Uh, Burritos, alright… Bye.
Episode 22
Featuring Ned and Aubrey also being bad at lying
Morgue Technician: Can I help y'all with something?
Duck: Well, we would like to see the bodies of--
Aubrey: My brother!
Duck: My dad.
Ned: My son.
Duck: His brother. Her-- His-- His son, her brother, my dad.
Aubrey: Not related. There's two of 'em.
Ned: But you have to figure out which two.
Duck: We need to see a body for a dare. I'm sorry about all the lies from before but we need to see a body for a dare.
Aubrey: I was dared to look at the body of my brother.
Ned: And my son.
Aubrey: I was dared to look at the body of his son. Who is also my brother. Because he is my father.
Episode 32
Duck: Um… yup. It‘s… Harpo. Uh, all… [imitating crackling noise] Y‘all hearing this? [imitating crackling] The… radio break up. Radio break up. Mrrr.

You Know Each Other? - Paul Lahote
Paul x Fem!reader
Emmet x friend reader
Warnings: Jealously?
Word count: 934
Summary: Paul getting extremely protective over his imprint the reader. When they meet up with the Cullens and it turns out Y/n and Emmet know eachother and are really close friends.
Arthors Note: I like putting Paul with a strong reader cause I think his imprint would have to be very strong and opinionated to be able to put up with him. Everyone puts him with these shy little wallflowers and I get that it's cute and he’d be protective and sweet but no one puts him with someone who would challenge him on occasions.
Masterlist
Twilight Masterlist
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“That last name sounds familiar.” Y/n wondered out loud as they were talking about their plans for tomorrow. The last name sounded familiar but she couldn’t place it.
“Cullen?” Paul questioned confused on how she would know that name. She hadn’t been in Forks long enough.
Y/n nodded. “Yeah. But I can’t place where from.”
“Hmmm.” Paul hummed but Y/n could tell what he was thinking.
“No, Paul.” Y/n turned her head to him as he readjusted himself on their couch.
“What?” Paul said playing innocent but he knew she knew.
“I know that look.” Y/n stated poking Paul in the chest.
“What look? I’m not doing a look.” Paul raised his hands up in mock surrender.
“Yes, you are and I’m going.” Y/n nodded and gave him a strict look with her eyes. She was going whether he liked it or not.
“Sometimes I hate how well you know me.” Paul growled out frustrated but he knew there was no stopping her.
^ ^ ^
“Just stay close to me. Please.” Paul pleaded to Y/n as they pulled up to the clearing where the pack and the Cullens were meeting up. Just to update each other on things and hang out, have some fun. Ever since they had to team up together things had been good between the two groups.
“I’ll do what I want when I want. You don’t own me.” Y/n turned to look at him as she spoke. “I love that you're protective of me but they're not going to hurt me so, chill. Please.”
“You’re lucky your my imprint.” he grumbled pulling her into his chest and kissing her. Not many people could talk to him like that and live.
“An that you love me.” Y/n smiled up at him goofy.
“Yeah, that too.” Paul nodded mirroring her smile before they kissed again.
“y/n?” Someone said and Y/n pulled away from Paul who had decided to tickle her upon hearing her name. Even the voice sounded familiar.
“Emmett?” Y/n looked over shocked to see him there.
“Well holy shit girl!” Emmett ran towards her and Y/n meet him in the middle. He picked her up in a big tight hug, spinning her around. Y/n could see Rosalie smiling over at them.
“Long time no see Em!” Y/n laughed happily, hugging him back tight as well.
“How’ve you been girly?” Emmett asked as he put her down with a smile on his face. It had been a year or two since they had seen each other.
“I’ve been great. What about you? If I knew you were one of the Cullen’s in town I would’ve tried to contact you earlier.” Y/n answered nodding, it was great getting to see him again. Y/n had met all the Cullen’s a few years back. She knew what they were and didn’t care, she had missed them. At least now she knew some people in town.
Y/n had met Paul out of Forks and came back with him to visit and so he could explain the imprint thing better. So she didn’t really know anyone in the town she had pretty much moved into.
“Been awesome and don’t worry about it. But hey do you live in town now?” he asked smiling, Emmett couldn’t help it he missed the girl he thought of as a sister.
Y/n nodded. “Yeah, now I do. I’m Lahote’s imprint.”
“Pauls imprint?” Emmett raised his eyebrows in shock.
“Yeah, that's right.” Paul said gruffly as he approached the two. It was no secret how Paul Emmett didn’t get along. An now his imprint seemed to be good friends with his enemy.
Y/n smacked Paul's shoulder. “Cool it.”
“Nah, he’s ok Y/n/n. Just protecting his girl. Even though I’m no threat.” Emmett shrugged off Paul's aggressive nature. He’d do the same thing. Whether it was Rosalie or even Y/n.
“Hmmm.” Paul hummed with a scowl on his face.
“We’re good friends Paul. Emmett’s like a brother to me.” Y/n stated with an eye roll directed to her boyfriend.
“Yeah, man. She’s like a little sister to me. I will tell you though, your a lucky man to have her.” Emmett said, it was honestly a compliment towards Paul but even Emmett had the sense to know Paul probably wouldn’t take it as one.
“Oh, he knows.” Y/n smiled over in Paul's direction next to her. She was joking but Paul knew it was true.
Emmett laughed. “I’m sure he does. But if you ever hurt her I will come after you. Got it?”
To say Paul was shocked, about multiple things would be an understatement. But he nodded to the vampires’ statement. “Yeah.”
With that Emmett left the new couple be and headed back over to Rosalie and Alice.
Y/n turned to face Paul, stepping closer to him. “I’m yours you can cool the hostility.”
Paul looked at her and sighed shaking his head. “I’m sorry.”
“I get your mortal enemies or whatever but he’s one of my bestest most close friends. Can you please just try? For me?” Y/n asked giving him her best puppy dog eyes she could.
Paul rolled his eyes but nodded none the less. He’d do anything for her, even try and be friends or at least sivial with Emmett Cullen. “For you.”
Y/n smiled placing her hands on his shoulder, using them as leverage to lean up and kiss him. She was truly grateful that he would try for her.

Today in TMWSL #10, we get half our answer and also Joker in a skirt again! Look how happy he is.
Spoilers and violence, yadda yadda…
We open with Black Mask interrogating a police officer about what the Commissioner did with his men, but it quickly becomes clear something is wrong!
Joker (our favorite Sewer Rat one) comes over the speaker in Roman's office (?) in the fashion of a flight crew, as Roman manages to get a gas mask.
And our boy makes his entrance as grandly as always.
With the henchmen dispatched, Joker starts to tell Roman about his complaints.
And here's where I bring up Gotham War, and how I guess this is happening at the beginning of Bruce's 2-month unconsciousness after Knight Terrors, right as Selina is starting to steal all the henchmen and train them to be Good Nonviolent Thieves. Because here it's alleged that all the Gotham bosses are still doing fine getting their underlings and it's just Joker who isn't. I have to assume that because otherwise the inconsistency would be another reason to dunk on Gotham War and who would do that!
Anyway, we cut to Wesker who is collecting clues from the men Joker did manage to round up about where the other Joker came from.
C'mon, Scarface! They're probably doing their best! Besides, you've got other things to worry about.
Jason, noooooooooo! He's just a lil murderous conniving puppet! He can reform! He can do a YouTube series about mob history!
As for Joker, we know where he is. I mean, one of them.
It looks like, for some reason, Joker is giving this cop Lazarus resin, assuming @clownprince's theory about where Joker #2 came from is where all this is going. Though it doesn't explain why Joker is reviving this cop. Not yet….
Also lookit them heels!
Anyway, Joker is looking for clues about his doppelganger with Roman personally, which implies he has a strong feeling Roman of all people has key info?
Oh right, Joker doesn't know the other guy is back in town. But unfortunately Joker #2 knows his twin has wrangled up some friends and is having his own friends, er, de-wrangle them.
In a way, they're just making room for Mr. Waffles' defection!
At least Joker gets to feel himself in this outfit before he figures out his scrappy crew is already being dispatched.
Look, I don't know what Wesker is alleged to be up to but I don't think Joker has a leg to stand on calling him a pervert.
Anyway, Jason brings down Joker's mood. 🙁
Ooh, I love when Di Giandomenico gets him all dark like that.
Joker does manage to get in touch with Shocky back at the warehouse and tells him to get everyone back there.
SHOCKY ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW. … Also who are you and how did you of all people manage to find out??
Sadly AND PREDICTABLY, we cut to the warehouse and Shocky has also been attacked by persons unknown. Jason, Steph, and Ravager are already on the scene. And then Manhunter shows up and nobody has any chill so they all get into a fight. Steph manages to calm everything down.
They compare notes and realize they're tracking the activities of two different Jokers. More importantly, they realize Shocky is alive! And we see Joker watching from the rafters.
At first I wondered if Joker didn't like what Shocky told him and tried to kill him, but nah, it looks like the warehouse got hit by Joker #2's crew. And I think they took Fake Jackanapes because he's nowhere to be seen, but per #12's cover he does appear to be back with Joker. Hmmm...
All four heroes are conspicuously absent when Shocky gets taken to the hospital, but Joker hitches a ride on the roof of the ambulance. From flight attendant mode to gremlin mode!
In a completely impractical way of figuring out what Shocky knows, Joker decides to interrupt his surgery in a new costume. I'm not sure if he had time to change into the cops' clothes outside or if he was wearing the first cop's uniform under his Sewer Rat outfit. I am sure that Mimi does not care!
Joker shoots the doctor because he has not learned any lessons about why he has no friends, and gets to the big question.
GODDAMMIT, SHOCKY– but actually I think the trope here is clear. Shocky did answer Joker's question in one word. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN but that's confirmed shortly, after this hilarious page:
It's Albert, the Knight Terrors son! Reading a Wonder Woman comic. It doesn't look like he took Joker's suggestion to ask for better toys to heart.
Inexplicably, Joker stops in the middle of everything to steal the kid's drugs.
The implication may be that Shocky's words have jogged something in Joker's memory, and he's trying to ease the rest of it out. And that certainly seems to be happening, because we abruptly jump into the surreal "backer," which has a stronger tie to the main story than the others.
Joker is poisoning civilians when it turns out something's wrong with a henchman's mask.
Joker takes this opportunity to create his twin himself (dun dun DUNNNN) with the assistance of Professor Pyg.
Pyg successfully transforms the henchman into a Joker look-alike, and the fun begins, with Joker using his double to seem like he can be in two places at once, and to explain sudden changes of heart or ability. And all that goes fine until:
Original Joker does not appreciate anyone killing his men but him! (For once.) He confronts his creation when he's sitting on a park bench feeding critters. (A Joker enjoying himself at night on a bench? If only a bat doppelganger was there to join him.)
And we end on panels very reminiscent of what happened back in TMWSL #1.
Is this dunking on Three Jokers? I'm choosing to take it that way (even though TMWSL itself could still go the same direction).
Unlike other issues, we return to the main story for a page.
I had to include both these panels because 1) I enjoy the clown balloon exploding perfectly positioned in the cop's face and 2) like the last time Joker was in the hospital, he's reading a comic and replacing the story that's in there with something in his head.
But here it is! Half the mystery solved: Joker himself made his doppelganger! Which raises questions like "why?" and "how?" and "when?" but look there's only another couple issues to go.
And we can keep speculating in the meantime. Again I point to clownprince's theory linked above that some clone or plastic-surgeried reanimated corpse was mindwiped into thinking he's Joker. If that holds true, which it seems like it will because the Lazarus resin came up again, now we have Joker saying that he is the person who did it. Of course, if we go by how it went in the backer, then it's Sewer Rat Joker who is the fake, but since the backers are surreal and strange, the story Joker "read" in the comic may just be inspired by the actual goings-on and he really is the original as he says. It's also possible that we'll find both Joker's are so mixed up that they simply can't agree on who the original is, and we never get confirmation.
Regardless, we can further extrapolate that after seeing the clones at the end of Joker 2021, even though Joker was pissed about that, he may have been inspired too. It wouldn't be the first time that he thought a joke was only funny if he was the one who told it. So after he left Texas, he came across the mindwipe tech Bloom used in Task Force Z, and decided to give it a try? Except the person he brainwashed would be as vain as him and want to be the one-and-only Clown Prince of Crime, and it would never occur to him that he's the copy.
I'm hoping that's what it is, and not that the double was created earlier and it really is like Three Jokers where there's been more than one Joker tHe WhOle TiMe. I mean, Joker's last line could be taken to mean, "I was the one behind our best shenanigans and am responsible for our fearsome reputation." At least it's definitely not some multiverse shit as implied by that Batman #135 page.
We've got a couple issues left to get more answers. My understanding is that TMWSL stops at #12, which is a bummer. I've had a great time reading it, which only makes me grumble more about what's going on in Batman and Gotham War. "I Am A Gun" was delightful, but ever since Batman's storyline hit the alternate universe, the writing has gone… not great, IMO. So I'm not sure what Zdarsky is gonna do with Joker for the reunion. :|

23/DEC/20XX
outside, i've been watching a giant snowman form over the course of the morning.
it started with papyrus rolling around a massive ball of snow, then tori began one beside him.
flowey motioned something, and they started combining efforts to make a really big snowman.
frisk has been inside, watching this with me.
"you don't wanna go out in the snow with everyone?"
they flopped over backwards onto the couch.
"Nah."
"why not?"
"Tired."
"Why don't you?"
"tired."
"What kept you up?"
"nothin' in particular. just kept waking up randomly."
"Even skeletons get that?"
"yeah? 'course we do."
"Bummer."
"what kept you up?"
"Random thoughts."
"like what?"
"Hmmm..."
pondering it for a minute, frisk's brows furrowed as they settled on a thought.
"Asgore's soap dispenser."
"...what??"
"He got, like, a snowman one for winter, right?"
"It's got white soap in it."
"Peppermint scented."
"Smells good."
"yeah?"
"Yeah. Anyways."
"After being used for a while, the soap is almost gone now."
"So he can just refill it, right?"
"However, the only soap refill he has in his cabinet is honey scented."
"do you not like that one?"
"I do. But the honey scented soap is 𝘺𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸."
"There's gonna be yellow soap in the snowman."
"......."
"and this kept you up last night?"
"Not JUST that, but partly."
"pffftt."
"you're a doofus."
"You called me that yesterday."
"it's still true today."
"Come up with something else."
"ok. you're a 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳."
"That's (yawn) ..okay."
"just okay, huh?"
"got a different name to call you in mind?"
"....."
"kid?"
"oh."
"you'll ruin your schedule if you sleep now, y'know."
"...."
"hey, i'm down to ruin mine too."
——
the snowman's as tall as tori herself. they've wrapped it in a nice scarf and everything.
now paps and tori are helping flowey make a smaller snowman to be friends with the big one.
——
"hey. kiddo."
sandwich (ingredients stolen from our kitchen) in one hand, and a glass of milk in the other, they spun around.
"they're makin' mini snowmen without you out there."
"Whaatt?"
"still too tired to go out?"
"No. I wanna make mini snowmenn!!"
shoving down the rest of the sandwich and chugging their milk, frisk quickly got their coat and gloves on.
they tore open the door.
"wait."
"boots."
"What?"
"unless you 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 to walk in the snow with only socks on."
"OH!"
immediately hopping into their boots,
"Okaythankyoubye!!"
frisk darted out the door.
waving with both arms, frisk met everyone else outside and instantly joined the creation of more mini-snowmen.
——
i swear i only closed my eyes for maybe no more than an hour and it became a mini-snow army.
maybe it's a family?
there's just a lot of 'em.
reminds me of nesting dolls when they're lined up by size.
——
spent a while watching them make mounds of snow, but it only just now clicked that it's a snow table and seats they've created.
——
flowey sacrificed the mini-snowmen for a snowball fight with frisk.
started as an accident, turned into a strategy.
——
came outside and laid in the snow with everyone to look at the stars.
hard to believe it's gyftmas eve tomorrow.
...at the time of writing, i guess it technically is now.
time feels like it's flying by lately. papyrus swears it's slowed to a crawl as we near christmas itself, though.

Huntlow Week Day # 7 Waffles/Wedding
Hunter brushed off his forest green vest and slid his golden dress jacket over his arms and shoulder, adjusting his matching bow tie.
His eyes passed over his own reflection in the long mirror that hung against the door of the room where Raine's wedding party changed. Hunter wore long slacks that matched his jacket, and of course, a pair of crocs which he knew were out of sorts with the rest of his outfit -- but after spending his entire life dressing on model to appease a lie, he truly did not care.
Formal attire? Check.
Freshly cut hair? Check.
A little personal flair? Check.
"Looking sharp man!" Steve Tholomule's grinning reflection joined Hunter's
"Sharp?" Hunter raised a brown, "W-were we s'pposed to bring weaponry? A concealed blade? I - I know Eda and Raine still have enemies and their wedding would be a target but .."
"Nah!" Steve gave Hunter a playful elbow bump. "I mean you look good!"
Hunter nodded and added the word, "sharp" to his list of slang words that sounded harmful but meant something good.
Like when Willow had called his flying skills, "sick" the first time they met.
Hunter smiled at the memory. He was a different person back then -- so eager to get ahead. To prove his worth. And yet, he was a possession of someone else. Someone who told him what he should want in life.
And yet? Between meeting Luz, and Flapjack, and, Amity, and Gus, and Willow of course ... Hunter was on a collision course with someone else.
Himself.
"Hey Steve?" Hunter cleared his throat.
"Hmmm?" Tholomule was adjusting his straight tie but he turned around to meet Hunter's eye.
"Is it weird that I'm sorta surprised that Raine and Eda are getting married?"
Steve quirked a brow, "Weird because you're still thinking about how Coven Heads were forbidden from having romantic -- entanglements?"
"Huh? Nah. Nothing like that." Hunter shook his head. He hardly even thought about Raine as a former Coven Head anymore. They were his music teacher, his friend, a truly kind soul -- and someone who had invited Hunter to stand with them on one of the most important days of their life.
But Eda?
"I guess I just always knew about The Owl Lady -- errr --Eda as this free spirit? A Wild Witch who did as she pleased and was always breaking free of -- well, everything?"
"Hmmm." Steve smiled warmly, "Well, there's a lot of ways to be free, buddy? And when you find someone who you can look at and say, 'I'm yours, you're mine -- and together? We're free to be ourselves?' That's the stuff, man."
"The stuff." Hunter took note of the vagueness of the slang. He'd heard it before and felt confident that while he didn't quite know what "The stuff" was specifically, that was probably the point in this context.
"Hey Steve?" Hunter said slowly, "Have you found 'the stuff' with anyone?"
"What?" Steve's eyebrows shot up, "Oh no. You know me man. I'm STEVE. A free agent."
Hunter recalled how tenderly the Bard, Katya had been with Steve just moments ago as she helped him with his tie and pinned a flower on his lapel.
And then, Hunter thought to himself, "Maybe sometimes you find that thing. The person who makes you feel so free that you don't even realize they're yours and you're theirs and that's how you know its real."
The door to the changing room opened and Willow was waiting on the other side, dressed in a lovely forest green dress -- matching his vest and shirt. Her hair was tied in braids. Her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were red. At the sight of him, a bouquet of flowers bloomed in her hair.
"Wow." Hunter breathed.
"Uh, have you seen yourself guy?" Willow giggled.
Now Hunter was blushing. Shyly, Willow reached up and pinned a tiny bouquet of flowers on Hunter's lapel. He hunter reached into his pocket for a glyph which he tapped and a colorful corsage of fresh flora bloomed before them. Gently he slid it onto Willow's wrist -- his calloused fingertips brushing her soft skin.
Willow's hair bloomed even more, and Hunter's ears flicked as they grew hot at the tips.
Willow smiled slyly and offered him her pinky, which he took in his own and together, they went to join all of their friends and family at Eda and Raine's wedding.
And then? Years later?
Willow and Hunter would meet again on the day of their own wedding. This time Hunter would wear a yellow button up with a blue vest, embroidered in flowers and Willow's dress would wear a lacy dress colored a light sea foam green, with a high color of lacy floral.
"You ready for the ol' ball and chain?" She'd joked.
"Pfft. What ball and chain?" Hunter shook his head.
"Yeah, I kinda hate how people call it that too." Willow sighed. "Marriage shouldn't feel like a prison sentence."
Hunter's lips bloomed into a smile. Then a grin. "It should feel more life freedom alongside your best friend."
"Exactly!" Willow smiled. "So let's get hitched so we can be free together."
And pinky in pinky, Hunter Noceda and Willow Park strode towards the altar together while their futures lay wide open on the horizon.

Tips on finding folks who'll give generous thoughtful feedback, and on ensuring a diversity of playtesters (not only across marginalisations, but experience levels etc).
Feedback and a robust set of playtesters are so important to my game design process. Playtesting is an absolute joy for me, while being an incredible way to grow as a designer.
So! Tips on finding your playtesters! Warning, I apparently went into full geek mode in this post, so proceed at your own risk.
Clarify what's essential for your core playtest group.
This differs per designer so I'll give you what's essential for me and why. Reading through this, I invite you to consider what makes you go "ah, me too!", "hmmm, nah", "oooh kinda" and create your own list of what's essential from your responses. I recommend keeping it to three things!
Relatively high experience with ttrpgs. I learned long ago that I enjoy designing complex and interesting experiences for my players. There is an argument to be made that complex games with a strong structure are actually great for those new to the hobby. I've seen folks point out that the "rules lite" and "simple" ttrpgs only really make sense to seasoned players. That being said, my games do ask for a high level of engagement, for players to be intuitive and creative on the fly. Also, players who have more experience across different games provide the most useful feedback for my process. Otherwise, and I hate to say it, the feedback tends to feel like "Getting A Lot Of Boss Baby Vibes From This".
Places story and character before mechanics. This makes it easier for me to keep tweaking the mechanics and play structure to encourage placing story and character first. I take note of what cool things my players did during a playtest, and later I'll try to codify that into a mechanic that's open to interpretation. I have a harder time with play testers who look too closely at the mechanics and feel constricted by them! But this can go too far: I don't get great feedback from folks who are comfortable ignoring a game and its mechanics almost entirely, and just free play the entire time. If they can't engage with my game then I can't work on its design. So finding that balance is key! Folks who help focus on the story and character potential contained in or bursting forth from my mechanics is super helpful.
Understands the kind of game I want to make. This is the most important one. The cool thing about indie games is you can and SHOULD go hard in expressing your gaming philosophy, while highlighting themes from your lived experience. I am not interested in creating a generic system that can play "any" experience. In my mind, that just means I've catered to the mainstream expectation of what a TTRPG is, which is influenced and structured by the dominant creative voice: cis-het, white, and male. Playtesters who understand, or are at least open to, the kind of games I make are essential. My games often dive into queer and post-colonial themes: found family, emotional exploration, a focus on relationships, generational responsibility and pain, a personal definition of freedom, among others. This is not because I am consciously writing about these things: I am simply writing what I know. And what I know is being a queer Filipino. Does that mean I need playtesters who are only queer and Filipino? No, absolutely not. But playtesters who don't force a mainstream/heteronormative/cis/white perspective through feedback is essential.
Find a community that is made up of players who embody what's essential for you
Do you absolutely need to engage with a community? No, you can put together a group of friends and playtest with each other, sure! In fact that's what I do now. But most of these people I met through an online community!
My own experiences with putting together groups just wasn't as enriching compared to becoming part of a community. TTRPGs shine the most when they're played with people who can engage with each other meaningfully, and communities provide that energy in abundance.
Your best bet is to find this community online. And I mean community community. The general open social spaces like Twitter, hashtags "communities", Tumblr, un-modded Discord servers, these are not communities. They are social spaces made up of several folks who just happen to have the same hobby.
Instead seek out online spaces that are cared for, that have a group of active members who ensure safety and expression, who put marginalized voices first. I know these spaces are few. But every time I have drifted from them to seek out playtesters elsewhere, I have been disappointed 90% of the time. You may have more luck than I do tho!
You can find this group in person, but indie ttrpgs flourish online. It's just easier to find people, usually across different time zones and all around the globe, who are interested in playing indie games.
Prioritize players over designers
So, I say this as someone who enjoys playtesting and engaging with designers. Let me explain what I mean.
This is a very personal thing, but my design and tastes prioritize play over theory. My design philosophy grows and evolves through the act of play. I design from a place of intuition and instinct, and only see what I was doing in hindsight. It's a grounded and dirty creative process. The hindsight sharpens instinct, and the process starts all over again.
I tend to get better feedback from folks who will say things like "well, I only just play, I'm not a designer", or from other designers who prioritize play as much as I do.
In my experience, the feedback I get that comes from a purely theoretical place, just doesn't vibe with me or offer anything I can act on. I'll think we're talking about the same thing, and it turns out, we absolutely weren't! It made the feedback and conversation frustrating.
Games designed from "pure" theory tend to be unfun for me to play or engage with. (this opens a whole new conversation about the value of games that aren't designed played, and I do cherish their value, but that's outside of my playtesting advice!)
If your design process and enjoyment is different from mine, then heck yes friend, go find your people and make beautiful games together!
When something works, stick with it.
My playtesting process has grown and changed over the years, and I've settled on a very simple process that offers the best feedback for my design.
I have two core playtesters (shout out to Josh of @ostrichmonkey-games and Sherri Stewart), and a rotating huge group of players (who mostly came from one online community, but a whole bunch are folks I met online and support my games).
My core playtesters embody the essentials: Josh and Sherri have a lot of experience with ttrpgs (that differ from each other), they place story and character before mechanics, and they understand the kind of games I want to make (better than I do, I would dare say).
For each game I playtest, I'll pick 1-2 more players from the open group who bring something else I need. Sometimes it'll be "I need someone relatively new to ttrpgs" or "I need someone who loves the magical girl genre as much as I do" or "I need someone who doesn't know what the heck the magical girl genre is".
It can be as hyper specific as "I think my game would break and become unfun with someone who takes their time and maybe overthinks a little bit, who talks it out for a long time with players. I'm going to see if I can tweak the game to be more accommodating to this playstyle."
There you go! Playtesting is my favorite part of the game design process and I'm always happy to talk about it. I hope this is helpful!

send me your url and i'll tell you / @mayxthexforce
my opinion on;
character(s) in general: girl which ones?? all of them are perfect in my opinion. literally love them so much. they're the only versions i can imagine my muses interacting with bc we've built so much for them. mica has helped me develop maul and anakin in particular. and dryden a good bit too. bode will get there eventually, just got slightly less spoons for the man atm. but yeah, i love 90% of the muse list and can be easily swayed into loving the other 10% too.
how they play them: spectacular. amazing. showstopping. better than the actual fucking writers. adore mica's portrayals and my muses are physically fused to her ones. anakin and maul are koala hugging obi-wan and feemor. and then anakin is also koala hugging his group of boyfriends kfjngbkdvf
mica takes excellent care with all of her muses. has done far more research than i could ever hope to do and is more than happy to share her knowledge. all of her muses feel different when reading replied, whether it's their dialogue or the descriptions of different things. just!! amazing.
the mun: idk her. she just started following me and hasn't left me alone since.
do i;
rp with them: not really. barely ever actually.
want to rp with them: hmmm *checks my connections page* nah.
what is my;
overall opinion: amazing selection of blorbos and mica knows them all so well. perfect. literally my best friend and i love talking to her about random bs and about everything plot related. i love our world and the relationships we've built and just!!!! thank yoooou!!!!

OC Mundane Tag Game
thanks for tagging me, @accidental-spice !!
Rules: Pick an OC you'd like to talk about and answer the questions for them! Then tag ten people, or as many as you can. 'Underdeveloped character I adopted' is fine, too! Absolutely no pressure to play, though
Also, if some of it can't apply to your OCs, just answer what would be the answer-- like if they're in a historical setting, they likely can't watch movies, but what is a movie they'd like?
(Also, most people have many ocs, so feel free to retag people and answer as many times as you get tagged! Or get really wild and just answer for as many ocs as you'd like! :D)
Questions:
1. What is their favorite movie? hmmm ok I’m picking Daesha! I think The Princess and the Frog would be a beloved of hers, as she’d really connect with Tiana! She’d love Mulan, too. She’d also rly like Legally Blonde!
2. What is their favorite season?
She’s an autumn person, I think! It just has her Vibes! She’d really enjoy watching the leaves change, and her caf cantina’s cozy vibes are even more immaculate in autumn!
3. What do they find annoying?
Men.
Just kidding lol. She would definitely make that joke and not mean it…usually. Homegirl has some Stuff to work through in that area. Anyways, she’s annoyed by anyone who messes up her cantina’s vibe. And everything about Twi’lek stereotypes infuriates her. But when it comes to domestic, everyday annoyances…I think she gets frustrated when people pick apart movies. She’s like “it’s my day off I took off w o r k to enjoy this so LET ME ENJOY IT”
4. How would they like to spend their Christmas or equivalent holiday?
She just celebrated Life Day with her parents for a long time, which was really intimate and enough for her. She and her parents are very close, and they’re super proud of her! Daesha loves welcoming people into her caf cantina, but she’s a bit of an introvert when she’s off work, and she’s quite the workaholic. So she doesn’t make a lot of effort socially, besides the customers who eventually become friends and family to her. One in particular…but that’s another story.
5. Do they play an instrument? If so, what? How good are they at it?
Nah, but Daesha does love listening to music! She’s got one headphone in most of the time and gives the BEST music recommendations!
6. What’s their favorite meal to eat?
Daesha’s breakfast is caf, so that one lol!
7. Do they have a favorite video game or board game?
OOH Daesha would play a lot of board/card games with her parents!! I think she’d love Monopoly lol and the card game Spades! She’s very competitive, but in a fun way. When she was a kid she was more fiery about it lol but she’s usually more chill now. Usually. Unless you get her really worked up. Also she’s secretly a gamer on her off days and story video games make her cry like nothing else, especially Undertale
8. Do they celebrate their birthday?
Her parents make her celebrate lol. and they leaked her birthday to her customers so they all join in and every year they bring decorations as soon as the store opens and hang them everywhere and buy way too much caf as a present for Daesha haha
9. What’s their bedtime routine?
she used to SUCK at self-care, but now she’s got a fire skincare routine lol. she always makes a to-do list for the next day before she goes to bed in her super organized planner! she’s an early riser, so she doesn’t stay up super late—unless it’s the night before an off-day, in which case she g a m e s so hard and then falls into bed. also occasionally she gets stuck in the hypnosis that is Brooklyn Nine-Nine and binges too many episodes. she only once in a blue moon, tho. also yes her favorite character is Rosa, closely followed by Amy
10. What’s an OC (or canon character) they like to spend time around? What do they tend to do together?
She and Hera VIBE. they connect for so many reasons and on so many levels! throughout the Rebellion, they don’t rly get to see each other, but afterwards, they reconnect, and they FaceTime/holocall or whatever about once a week! it’s therapeutic for the both of them, and they very occasionally meet up and Daesha makes her caf and they talk for hours. also Daesha loves Jacen so much she thinks he’s the cutest thing and sometimes when Hera’s out doing General Things and no one in the Ghost Crew is available she drops him off on Keothon and he hangs out with Aunt Day for a while and she lets him help out in the caf cantina! he loves being a mini barista and the customers adore him!
tagging @jessicas-pi @musewrangler @locitapurplepink @anileahvictoria and anyone else who wants to play!

For Baltazar: Self, Social Circle, Exit and Future!
COMIN RIGHT UP !!! Ough I love this dude the Ball
[Prompt list can be found here !!]
Self – How is your OC's relationship with themself? Does your OC like who they are? Is there anything about themself that they would change?
◆ Baltazar and Good Self Image are NOT words that go together. This man has beem having every type of dysphoria / dysmorphia you can name for three million years, and there's nothing he can really do about it considering to makenit get better he would have to... yk. Actually Accept Himself. Which is hard. They struggle a lot with assigning themselves any worth that isn't just purely practical for everyone else, and while they do work on it... yeah, they aren't what you'd call a fan of what they see in a mirror half the time. If there had to be changes... he'd probably try really hard to make himself normal again, but there's just no way to actually achieve that <3
Social Circle – What's your OC's social circle? Are they obligated to spend time with others in their circle, or are they happy to be there? Has their social standing and social circle ever changed, and if so, how did your OC feel about it?
◆ Oh people get plenty worried if they don't see Balt around anywhere ! They're the Local Depressed Guy !! Everyone gets worried if the Local Depressed Guy is missing for A Little Too Long.
◆ Nah but seriously, Baltazar has a good support system. His friend group is mostly people his age or older, so they understand a lot of his struggles and try not to make him feel left out. What they do is basically parallel play for Adults in the sense that they're all in the same space at once while they each do their own thing– Yoga, drawing, cooking, whatever they're doing at the moment, they prefer doing it with the rest of their buddies :]
◇ ...before that though, most of Baltazar's friends were just the other sportspeople from work. They didn't actually know each other much, they were just kinda acquaintances that enabled each other's issues in appropriate "party" ways. Was better than being alone, I suppose !
Exit – Has your OC ever had someone important leave their life in a way that was unremarkable, unintentional, or clumsy? How do they feel about it? Is there any chance they'll meet again?
◆ This literally happens everytime they met up with Luis again. These two have been having the messiest relationship since the begining of time, and instead of trying to talk it through like adults, they either prefer to tough it out and fight, or just run away from each other like the plague. The very last time they met though, Luis yelled a bunch of very mean things until they eventually came to an agreement, and then disappeared off the entire dimension for 500 years. Mature style ♡ These two R Normal [lie]
Future – Is there anyone your OC is looking forward to meeting or to seeing again? Who? What might that meeting or reunion look like?
◆ Hmmm... I don't actually know how to answer that to be honest ! Baltazar is usually just grateful to get through each day, with the future just being this kind of hazy thing they don't really count on [Depression tendencies], but if they had to pick... it'd be nice to see some of their old highschool friends again, catch up on everything, especially since they moved out their hometown without much notice... it'd be good to apologize.
TYSM FOR THE ASKK <333
#magoriginals#magocs#my oc stuff#original character#original art#my art#my writing#oc questions#oc asks#oc ask game#tysm for the ask !#audience participation#my ocs#oc: Baltazar#oc: Luis#Solar Years#hahaaha yesss.. YES !!! <- sicko about the guy

👀
Oh man, you picked the hard ones!! XD
🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?
Hmmm.... I guess an obvious answer is Xever! Idk that people think he's super especially morally bad, but I hardly see him written as anything other than One Of Shredder's Bad Guys, but I actually think he's very compelling! An orphan who grew up on the streets, joined a life of crime young to make a living. Stole from Shredder, and was indebted to Shredder if he wanted to be released from prison. Like, he doesn't really CARE about Shredder's goals, he's just kinda, like.... stuck. He's not a GOOD guy, or a MORAL guy, but I don't think he's evil or cruel for the sake of it. And I have some empathy for his situation.
Plus, I like his dynamic with Raph :P The small amount of it we get to see.
🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
Okay I had to ask friends for ideas bc I suddenly couldn't remember any serious theories LMAO. But I think the "Mikey was in Dimension X for way longer than he let on" theory I don't really jive with. Like it's fun to read, a cool AU, but as far as things I consider to be headcanon, nah. Like, a few days or even weeks, that makes sense for me considering his level of knowledge, but months or YEARS, not for me :P
🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?
Okay, I am ALSO guilty of this one lol, but the turtles themselves. Like it's a huge plot point in PTS that they don't kill and Raph is really traumatized by killing people, but like.... Those boys go for the kill shot PLENTY, even before knowing they're fighting robots vbfetijjgdsdgkv. Plus, space arc? They definitely obliterated a few triceratons. I for sure had a moment of "oh my god, my story...." before deciding to just not think about it when I rewatched post-PTS LMAO
Thank you for asking!! Sorry it took a while HHFDTJNKKHFD I had to think on these

Which redacted character do you think would be the softest to a character who is shy / anxious and deals with self loathing? Asking for a friend 👀
A friend you say? Hmmm
Arguably, every listener deals with self-loathing in some kind of way. And their respective partners (or friend group in Freelancer's case) comfort them.
On the opposite side, you have Lasko and his listener in the wonder of reverse comfort. But your friend (👀) is searching for soft comfort specifically.
Gavin is gonna take the crown. He's pretty versatile and tends to be a personality chameleon. Plus if you look at the DAMN group, he tends to comfort Lasko in his own way by pulling Lasko out of bad spiraling thoughts by flirting. Freelancer tends to be more reserved when it comes to opening up about things they're dealing with and wants to constantly take on other's burdens. Just the fact that he tends to be surrounded with people on a spectrum of shy/anxious and self loathing individuals points towards understanding how to best comfort them. He has a lot of social awareness to understand that what might work for one person, won't work for another. (I love Gavin.)
(Caelum would work too, but he's the obvious choice since his entire existence basically revolves around comforting people and loosening knots. Only problem would be that no one but other d(a)emons and FL can see/hear him O.O So depending on the usage of this information that may or may not be important.)
Below the cut are my reasons for ruling out the other characters if you're interested.
I'm gonna have to eliminate Asher, David, and Milo (purely because their listeners seem outgoing.) Sweetheart could be shy, but that's just because I have a headcanon that since they're a stealth, they're so used to hiding as much as they can even when they're not thinking about it. But that's not canon (*yet*) All we got is that when they're in flight or fight mode, they tend to cloak without trying.
Sam could be a good contender since he's so gentle and comforts Darlin when they start trashing on themselves. Honestly he's probably a runner up to Gavin. But I can't label him the softest because of Gavin's existence. But for whatever reason your friend (I'm not buying it sorry lol) needs this and Gavin just doesn't quite fit the slot, I would go for Sam.
Vincent is slutty. Nah, I'm kidding. Vincent seems more easy at comforting after something happens. Through no fault of his own. The comfort audios we get are always after an event happens that Lovely is struggling to cope afterwards, versus in the middle of something. He does have that awareness that apologizing for it doesn't always help, so kudos to him.
Aaron is also really socially aware, but he relies so heavily on communication to understand a situation (which is good. Communication is healthy) that it might be difficult for him to comfort someone who is shy. We all know that Smartass isn't shy around him, so we haven't really seen him comforting them because of something. *that I know of. I need to relisten to his playlist soon. I miss him.* He did a good job comforting Elliot, but Elliot also seems kind of outgoing. I wouldn't call him shy.
Ollie is a sweetheart. But in all honesty I've only listened to his first two audios so I don't really know much about him O.O
Vega... It's Vega. He'd manipulate you into feeling better, but only on his terms and when it benefits him. I love him.
Regulus... No. Obvs.
Blake could be good at it since he's a yandere so he's pretty into knowing all your details. He would know how best to comfort you because he knows you so well. But he wouldn't be the softest to anyone who isnt his darling, so if that's who this shy/anxious self loathing person is then Blake is off the table. He's pretty single minded.
Guy would be amazing at cheering someone up. But we're looking for soft. Not energetic cheering up. Vulnerable soft Guy in his confession audio holds a special place in my heart though. But his "sleep aid" proved that the best thing when you're trying to calm down is have him go to a far away restaurant to retrieve food.
Avior is a tricky one. So many of his audios were him putting up a front to keep Starlight at arms length. Then afterwards it was most reverse comfort from how I saw it. So Idk how he would be. There's not a lot of evidence in my perspective to make a clear decision.
Ivan - Same deal as with Avior. Not enough objective evidence. First he's a scary kidnapper and then he's begging to try his old relationship again. No comfort stuff really.
Morgan would be great with a reclusive person. (Since I think that's what his listener is? His voice always puts me to sleep. But I'm not sure entirely since I always fall asleep hehe)
Lasko did pretty well at comforting FL after the Kody incident, but his panic in wanting to make people feel better wouldn't make him a good contender. Sorry Lasky.
Kody is a wet noodle.
Huxley would be good at it, but I can see him struggling to find the words he wants to use. Hugs are great and he seems like he is soft with people in a more touchy manner. Depending on the person that can be good. But if you're like me and get uncomfortable when people touch you and you just like the idea of physical contact, then he wouldn't be the top choice.
Damien would kind of be like Guy in the way he could cheer you up, but it wouldn't be soft. As much as he hates it, the first reaction he has is to protect which can get him heated. Not the most calming presence. Plus he's not the most socially aware.
Geordi... it depends if they're in his head. He tries to choose his words very carefully, but he's naturally a very anxious person as well. Their anxiety could feed off of his and then we have another Lasko situation.
Brachium is another pretty good choice. Only problem is he's difficult to reach so he would be difficult to give comfort. But his voice and aura are very calming if a bit somber. He is pretty good at being soft with Sunshine with his "little one"s and such. I love him, he's such a dad.
Cam is kind of like Caelum in the way he would be very good at it. Plus he's obvious. But he's overworked. Let him sleep TT-TT
James is too analytical and focused on saving the world and getting back home. Soft isn't the word I would use for him.
Anton... same vibes as Brachium. He's soft but somber.
Marcus is whiny.
Brian is grumpy. Plus there's no evidence for him.
Quinn would be shit at it obvs.
Echo would just snap his fingers and make you more anxious. He finds that shit funny.
Did I miss anyone? O.O

Sims Tag
Thanks for tagging me @powluna!
1. What’s your favourite sims death?
Old age. That's pretty much the only death in my game unless there's a rare accident. Plus, I love a tiki drink.
2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
Maxis match.
3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?
No. In fact, I use mods that get rid of some of the weight related wants and fears. (And in TS3 a lot of my sims are fat.)
4. Do you use move objects?
So much.
5. Favorite mod?
Probably the one that lets kittens and puppies have coat patterns.
6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?
What was the first TS expansion? Looks like it was Livin' Large? So that, I guess? Or maybe House Party? My sister got The Sims for xmas 2000, and Livin' Large was already out. Hmm. No idea. Too long ago!
7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?
Live mode. (Not live mode.)
8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
She's long gone, but probably my first TS2 sim. Her name was Annette something, I think. I also really liked Arthur Broadback, the partner I made for Cassandra. He's gone too now.
9. Have you made a simself?
Yep. She's one of my models, modeling AF fat morph clothes, but only ones I'd wear. I used to have a sim whose name was Ramona who was kinda me. Her name was an anagram of my deadname (first and last).
10. What sim traits do you give yourself?
Sims 2, so no traits. I think Ramona was a Romance sim. Sloppy, outgoing, lazy, kinda playful, kinda nice.
11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?
In TS2 they're all kinda bleh. Black, I guess?
12. Favorite EA hair?
I mostly use CC hair.
13. Favorite life stage?
Hmmm.....Young Adult maybe? It's when I figure out their personalities.
14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
Gameplay. No contest. I have to make myself decorate.
15. Are you a CC creator?
Off and on, though steadily on for 2-ish years lately.
16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?
Kinda? I'm bad at keeping in touch and perpetually too stressed to be a good friend. 😕 But there are definitely people in the community who I like and who like me, and that's something I wish I had more energy for.
17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)
2, it's not even close.
18. Do you have any sims merch?
Nah. I own too much stuff and I don't think there's sims merch that would fit my style.
19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?
Nope.
20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?
I have no tolerance for photoskinned CC anymore. I used to have tons of it.
21. What’s your Origin ID?
Haha. Origin. No. I think I technically have an ID for it, but I have no idea what it might be. I don't use it.
22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?
@deedee-sims, and I think she knows it. 😉
23. How long have you had a simblr?
Just over two years, but I missed the anniversary in March.
24. How do you edit your pictures?
Minimally? I use GIMP and pretty much just crop them.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?
As far as TS4 stuff that will get converted? I'm kinda anticipating the goth kit they sorta teased. More stuff for children and younger would be nice too.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?
All TS2 EP's add something that feels vital, but....hmm....Nightlife? The attraction system really made the relationships feel more complex. Which one added secondary aspirations? That one is a strong contender too.
I tag @deedee-sims (because I already tagged her), @letomills, @eulaliasims, and @gaypleasantview ...and anyone else who feels like it!

HIIII!!! Another ask bc I read Cadaverous, and omg I have many thoughts! This is gonna be a long one strap in my friend
I said in a comment I truly wonder about her father, like I swear *he's* the reason she isn't human, but I'm probably wrong! As well, I wonder if her mother knew when she was born. I have a lot of feelings Abt her mom and none of them are good lmao
But ! I'm quite intrigued, because you put Toriel In your story! A lot of HorrorTale fics don't use her, they say Frisk killed her! I was happily surprised!! (Also I don't read many HorrorTale readers bc... They always do noncon and that's an ick for me but anyway)
I also find it rlly funny how Sans is *also* not gonna talk Abt the whole soulmate thing. I rlly wonder what Papyrus would say... And also I am gonna cry, bc in DEISY papyrus called MC sister, and I can rlly see that *hurting* mc here real bad, I wonder how , if at all, that's gonna work. Especially since MC has more of a protective streak with siblings. (Mood)
I'm really excited to see how you do Grillby's, and other monsters! And I'm still just very excited to see how MC reacts more to genuinely kind people. Because I think, no matter what, Papyrus is kind and especially to someone important to his brother! And like it or not, Mc is important to them. I wonder if she's gonna still destroy humanity and start another war that destroyed the world already. Or if, without their food, theyrw still gonna send people down the hole. Instead, they may just eat them. Really, don't know what they thought would happen by hurting their literal food source . Should have just tried to keep MC happy, really. Kiss her ass! Or yk. They coulda not been absolute shitlords and instead been kind human beings- but then it wouldn't be a story!
I'll probably message more as I gain more thoughts and reread, but GOD every story you write always makes me want to know more! You have a great way of making us question what really went on in their backstory. I always wanna know more!
Thank you as always for writing, it's a pleasure to read it every time! Thank you!
Aaaaaaaaa >////< Thank you so much!! Honestly, I means so much to me when people like my writing, I'm so happy 😊♥️♥️♥️
And on to the questions! Or thoughts 🤣
Hmmm.....all I can say is it's very interesting that you suspect y/n's father may be the cause of all of this 😌 And as for her mother - yup, she's she's horrible person, completely irredeemable 😂😅 But y/n was born naturally, and before her sister, making her the elder sister! Nothing weird there.
Oh really??? I didn't know that! Every Horrortale fic I've read does have Toriel there - even if she's o lying mentioned briefly. Basically, I have more plans for her in the story, ehehehe. >:3
Sans and y/n already have something in common, yaaay! 😂 Sans is....well, a lot more complicated as a character than he first appears (and yes, he's already a complicated dude 🤣) - but we'll unravel more of that later on.
Ahhhhh, my poor Papyrus 😭 He's been through a lot (well, they all have), so he's got a lot of hurdles to jump. The sibling thing may or may not feature 😉
Aaaaaa, I'm so excited about introducing Grillby and everyone else! Let's just say that they're going to be, we'll....pretty damn important lore wise, at least in terms to why y/n is the way she is.... >:3
Nah, you're good, the people on the surface really are shitlords 😂 Well, not all of them, but that's another story 😉 But yes, they made a massive error....or, at least, Michael did. But then, he's also a completely unhinged dude, so he wasn't really thinking about anyone but himself. Things will be changing up there....that's all I can say. 🙃
But again, thank you so much - and thank you so much for reading! 🥺♥️♥️♥️ And thank you for the asks - I really love receiving them, ehehehhe 😊
