Bees were the runner up in the poll, so here they are
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay sooooooo bees. This is gonna be formatted the same just probably shorter
The bee diet consists of nectar, honey l and plants. Bees are herbivores, their bodies are not built to process meat like Hornets and Wasps and it can make them sick. They have a cultural dish of Orantais (A Bee Territory fruit) dipped in sugar and chocolate. This food is usually sold inside the streets of the hive.
Their society is just like bees, except a little different. The queen rules everyone and everything and can make executions. All males are kicked out during winter, and if one stays, he’s killed brutally for not following orders. The queen’s heirs WILL NOT take the throne after she dies, the bees will choose whatever princess is best and follow her to build a new hive after the queen’s death. Selling royal honey is HIGHLY against the law of the First Queen… OH YEAH- THEY WORSHIP THEIR FIRST QUEEN, also known as Queen Pollen, the first queen of the bees. She was born before AE (After Evolution) and even before BE (Before Evolution) She was actually born in the Emerald Age, which is prehistoric. She made a specific set of laws and was also seen as a goddess… weird… I hope she doesn’t return from the dead… Princes do not matter and are still kicked out during winter, the princes are ALWAYS kicked out of the royal household and put up for adoption. Sad… The hierarchy consists of the queen, the princesses, citizens, and children. Higher ranking citizens will live close to the queen while lower ranking are pushed farther away.
The appearance of bees is not very complex and diverse. They always consist of white, browns, and yellow. They all have stripes. The colour of their eyes can vary though from red, blue, green, black, and purple. Queen Honeymoon has blue eyes which is a more royal family trait. The bees have thick, sturdy stingers that are usually reinforced with metals. The stinger is not as permanent as the hornets or wasps, and can accidentally break off. Though it won’t kill them, it just HURTSSS. Prosthetics exist though. Bees are much smaller than the wasps ans smaller than hornets. They are easily spotted in crowds of other bugs because of their unique appearance.
RANDOM INFORMATION WOOHOOOOWHOOOHOOOOOOOO
The bees are not an advanced species, they can’t build elaborate and safe cities like wasps or make elaborate hives like both hornets and wasps
They can’t see many colours and will shield their eyes from any brightly coloured bug like wasps and butterflies since they can’t see all those colours
The first bee queen has a faraway temple that is concealed and hidden
Bees will all huddle in the center of the in-hive city. The royal family will huddle in the royal winter huddle room which has a bunch of blankets, and a ton of rugs
Bees are not taught anything about the outside world which is why they walk right into danger. Wasps find this absolutely funny and have a saying that goes “Don’t be a bee, or you’ll be in the jaws of danger” which is just saying don’t be an absolute idiot and die
Bees can’t be born during winter as that’s against the law and creates complications. Bees born during winter are usually seen as criminals
Bees can’t spell. They were never taught anything and only know how to speak and abide the law
Art drawn by bees is so horrible, a group of wasps started weeping by just the thought of it… it’s horrible
Goodbye, do you want more of these?

Suptober 10 Oct.: Enchanted
"I asked Cas to marry me, and he said yes," Sam burst out. 
deancas ust, Sam-n-Cas chaos friends 4ever 
"I left you guys alone for ten minutes. Walked down to the car, got the freakin' lavender eye pillow – it was wedged under the back seat, thanks for asking – walked back. Not even ten minutes. Six, tops." Dean knew his blood pressure registered just shy of Massive Stroke and took a breath. "I trusted you to keep them from doing anything dumb."
Eileen narrowed her eyes at him and signed a number of things he didn't know how to translate, except she definitely ended it with, "...you shithead."
"Okay, okay, where are they?"
"Back here." Eileen sighed aloud. "Prepare yourself."
The cabin's wraparound porch overlooked a clear, burbling stream strewn with slate shards and red sassafras leaves shaken off the trees. Autumn presented such a spectacular landscape, such an idyllic respite, Dean desperately wanted to run off into the surrounding forest and just ignore everything else going on.
Instead, he tried to keep the brain-bending horror he felt from showing on his face.
"Dean!" Sam said, lit up like a sunrise. "Cas and I have some news."
He was seated on one of the wide window sills; Cas sat beside him, his hands in Sam's.
Dean felt a vein in his forehead start to throb.
"Oh, I'm too nervous," Sam said, looking away to capture Cas with his patented puppy eyes on full display. "You tell him."
Cas nodded and looked at Dean. Dean's ears filled with white noise, like a million bees had decided to swarm him.
"Dean. Dear Dean." Cas shook his head fondly. "You raised Sam as your own–"
"Well, that's an exagger–" Dean started.
"–and while it may seem old fashioned, I think I speak for us both when I say Sam and I would like your blessing."
Behind Dean, Eileen made a noise that sounded like a choked-off laugh-snort. He refused to engage.
"Cas, what are you talking about?" Dean asked slowly. Calmly. Kindly, even.
Cas looked at Sam all bashful like, and Sam bit his lip. His dimple showed, for pete's sake.
"I asked Cas to marry me, and he said yes," Sam burst out. 
Eileen was making a very undignified series of muffled honks at this point. Dean glared at her and she started giggle-crying behind her hands. After a few seconds, she was able to sign, "I'm so happy for you guys," at Sam, who absolutely beamed with delight.
"I know this is happening quickly," Cas said, standing to, Dean supposed, make his case more pointedly. "But Sam and I, well – we’ve loved each other for a long time, and it's just, we're ready. We'd be so honored if you'd be a part of our wedding party."
"Party?" Dean managed to say. Hornets were stinging him in the eardrums, the throat.
"Tomorrow at two," Sam said. "I'll text Jody and Donna and Garth–"
"Should we go ahead and call the bakery we passed in town?" Cas asked him. "We could order one of those gluten-free vegan pumpkin rolls–"
"Ooh, with the coconut," Sam said, all smiles.
"Please stop," Dean whispered. He couldn't seem to move.
Eileen slapped his arm. Cas and Sam, besotted with one another, cuddled on the windowsill as Cas looked up the bakery's number on his phone. Eileen jerked her head in the opposite direction and led Dean to the far end of the porch.
"What the hell happened?" Dean hissed while trying to sign.
"We misread the steps." Eileen grimaced. "The blood should have been the fifth ingredient added. I think." She made a Whoops! kind of expression. 
Dean pinched the bridge of his nose. "So they're…this, instead of able to unlock the suspicious warlock box from the crime scene."
Eileen gestured theatrically at Sam and Cas. "Love is love, Dean." She hid another laugh when Dean growled at her.
"How do we fix it? Lavender, I hope?"
"Ah!" Eileen grabbed up the dusty old spellbook with the broken spine and distressing scent of decay hanging around it. (Dean was never letting Sam wander into a used bookstore by himself ever again.) She pointed to the last paragraph on a page where someone had scratched in notes in an unstable ink. "More blood."
Dean closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he saw Cas push a lock of Sam's hair gently behind his ear, and Sam looked at Cas like…like… Like he found him to be the most enchanting creature he had ever beheld.
If they were truly in love, Dean thought, eyes prickling, or if they've been in love all along– 
Eileen slapped something into his hand: a 21-gauge needle she'd fished out of the big weird bag Sam always carried anymore for witchy things.
"I don't trust you with a knife right now," she told Dean. "No offense."
-
In the kitchen at the front of the cabin, Sam was saying something to Eileen like, "I am so, so sorry. Why are you laughing?"
"He isn't the only one who feels embarrassed," Cas said gruffly. He stood at the end of the couch and waited. "May I?"
Dean glugged down half a bottle of beer and wiped his mouth. "Sit anywhere you like." He shrank into his corner of the couch a little more and picked at the band-aid covering the tiny puncture wound from the needle, and the longest, most awkward minute of his recent life ticked by in silence.
"I hope it goes without saying," Cas began.
"You can just–" Dean didn't look at him. "No explanations needed."
"Well, good." Cas was quiet for another interminable minute that casually chewed at Dean's brain like a parasite. "I do need you to know something."
Dean made himself look at him. Looked into his best friend's beautiful, earnest eyes. It was difficult not to blurt out everything Dean wasn't supposed to say or feel, for his best friend and to his best friend. He swallowed, and nodded for Cas to continue.
"I would never make you eat gluten-free vegan cake, Dean," Cas said.
Dean wondered if he could use his own skull to open up the warlock box.

The Vessel's Visitor
From: @silken-spiders
To: @green-torsos​
Written work under readmore
(Drive version:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VSigEXik1A3Qfqvp8BgFvLduWSwaEEzhlcT-duYdYZk/edit)
The Pure Vessel had a visitor. 
They had visitors often, of course- being in close compliance with the King of Hallownest would cause that- but more often than not, the visitors were here for their father. 
This visitor was here for them. 
The little spiderling before them, dressed in red and carrying a little toy needle, grinned at the vessel with little fangs, still growing. She dropped her needle in their lap. The vessel looked down at it. 
“It’s for you!” Their visitor- what was her name again? Wasp?- exclaimed joyfully. “My favorite toy for my favorite Holly!”
The nickname was very familiar. Their mother had gifted it to them after a day’s work. They… enjoyed it, even if they would enjoy it more if their father called them it rather than “vessel” or “the pure vessel”.
Holly tilted their head at the spiderling, picking up the toy needle. They turned it over once, then twice. It was in perfect condition, as far as toys went. Holly held it gently, inwardly cherishing it. They looked at the spiderling (Bee?) and gently set the toy down to sign a gracious thank-you. 
“Pardon the intrusion,” a quiet, but stern, voice called from the entryway of Holly’s room. Herrah, the Queen of Deepnest, stood in the doorway. “Come along, Hornet. We must be off.”
The spiderling- Hornet, they now knew- pouted. “Why? I wanna stay with Holly!”
Herrah’s gaze went to the vessel. She scrutinized them for a moment, as if unsure how to perceive them. She shook her head, skittering into the room to pick up her daughter. “You may stay some other time. The King is a very busy bug, and we have overstayed our welcome for today.” 
Holly held up the toy needle. It wasn’t a gift, so they should give it back, right?
Herrah gave them a small smile. “Keep it. A gift from the spiders.” She turned to leave. “Have a good day, Holly.”
Holly watched the arachnids depart, the needle still in hand. They looked down at it, trying to ignore the odd feeling in their chest. 
They hoped they had visitors more often.
********************************************************************************
Hornet’s favorite days were no longer the ones where she trained with Vespa and the young Hive Knight. 
Her new favorite days were the ones where she got to visit Holly.
Or, more accurate to today, when Holly visited her.
Hornet bounced excitedly next to her mother in the entrance of the Stag Station. Her mother, stone-faced, merely folded her arms as the familiar rumbling of a Stag entering the station sounded. Hornet felt some of her excitement falter as the Stag pulled to a stop, revealing a pristine, regal figure perched upon its back. The Pale King gently alighted on the ground, speaking words to the spiderling’s mother. 
Hornet’s attention was elsewhere. Holly hopped off the Stag and was greeted with a flash of red tackling them in a hug. 
“Holly!” Hornet cried happily. She presented them with a practice loom. “Do you wanna weave with me?”
The vessel gazed down at the loom, looking a bit perplexed. They gently felt the lines of silk stretched across the loom’s width. They looked back at Hornet and nodded. 
Hornet beamed. She took Holly’s hand and began to drag them away, towards one of the massive hanging structures that made up the homes of the spiders. Once inside, she presented the loom to Holly once more. 
“Here! We can try it together!”
Holly nodded, watching as Hornet threaded her needle and began to weave. They gently picked up their own needle, threading it with utmost care, as if a simple mistake could break it. They began to weave slowly, fascinated with the delicate silk lines. 
Hornet looked up from her loom. She giggled. “You don’t have to be so gentle… it won’t break if you’re a little bit too rough!”
Holly paused for a long moment, then shook their head and kept weaving. Hornet smiled, setting her own loom down to watch them. They worked fast, but delicately. Within moments, their dark eyes were filled with pride and joy as they presented their loom to her. 
Hornet gaped. It looked even better than some of the older spiders’ looms! She clapped. “You’re a natural, Holly!”
The vessel puffed out their chest. They couldn’t wait to show everyone back at the Palace! But… why wait? They stood up, gesturing for Hornet to follow as they ran out of the little spider’s room, still holding their loom. 
Herrah did not expect her important meeting with the Pale King to be interrupted by the appearance of her daughter and the vessel, but she also couldn’t deny their sudden intrusion startled her. Hornet leaped onto her lap, leaving the vessel to wander inside timidly. Herrah looked over at them. 
“Greetings, Vessel. What have you got there?”
The vessel held up the object in their hands. Herrah blinked. “Is that my old loom?”
Hornet giggled. “I wanted to play with Holly, and they took an interest in my weaving, so I gave them a loom!”
Herrah smiled as she took the loom from the vessel’s- Holly- outstretched hands. She gently felt the delicate silk lines. “These… are perfect. Excellent job.”
The vessel beamed. 
********************************************************************************
The Hollow Knight had a visitor. 
They had visitors often, of course- being the saving grace of your father’s failing kingdom would cause that- but this visitor was not here to wish their father luck as his child went to seal a raging Goddess within them. 
This visitor was here for them. 
Dressed in a cloak of red, wielding a thin, silver needle, stood a familiar spider. She was no longer a spiderling, just as they were no longer a little vessel. 
She gazed into their eyes, looking somewhat dejected. She reached under her cloak and presented them with a small object. 
A familiar loom. 
“I wish you luck.” She spoke softly, sadly. Despite her drastic change in appearance, she was still young, something reflected in her voice. 
The Hollow Knight stared back, then bowed their head. They held out their hand, revealing the small object within. 
A small toy needle, a tiny thing in the palm of their hand. 
Hornet smiled at her half-sibling, taking the needle from them. She tucked it away. “Farewell… Holly. When you are released… we will weave together once more.”

shall we begin our distorted party for two?
in another timeline, a very old time. The two who don't belong in such place or such time walk around, looking for something or someone. 
( I thought those people would be scared by a hornet. I guess you were L ratio and treated like a nobody.(。•̀ᴗ-)✧ ) 
Pseudo chuckles as he points out how there's still a lack of people in the place. Instead of the people, they made deals with they should begin the task. 
{ Kokoko, it seems ya want to be ratio with those bulls. What if I mentioned your name and make you get stuck in the labyrinth?}
Bee stops looking for another beehive for a honey, he give a side look at his companion and rolled his eyes. 
( If you mentioned my name, I'll also mentioned your name!) 
Pseudo refuses to admit defeat as he crosses his hands. Scoffing and looking away from the bug in his eyes. 
{ Kokoko. I wonder who's faster. Me cutting off your tongue or you speaking my name? }
Bee gives him a very sinister smile at him.  The other person sees it not as a threat and just shrugged his shoulder as he looks in another direction. 
( It's not like you can do harm to me. You and I are forced to deal with one another, cannot kill one another even if one wanted to... Ah)
Tumblr media
Pseudo stops on his words as he saw a black cat with red eyes hopping from a small portal from another multiverse.
( KYAAAAA. OMGOMGOMG) 
his eyes widen at the sight of the cat before long, he have speed up to the direction of the kitty. 
{ How embarrassing. }
Bee mumble as he turn to look at another corner after finding a honey beehive. 
( A darling doll! ) 
Pseudo has already grabbed the kitty who's trying to stretch from the trip he went on, finding a phantom in the multiverse is hard but getting ambushed by another weirdo who's a cat lover. 
Tumblr media
× another cat person... × 
The darling doll in a cat form rolled his eyes but look up to see a familiar face of someone he knows.
× ah it's one of phantom batch mate. × 
( Well yes and no. )
×... × 
The darling doll pause as he realize he was understood by this person. Only one person can do that and that's the person, the reason why his traveling through the multiverse, in search of a stupid phantom to find the dollmaker.
× ... How did you...understand me. ×
Tumblr media
Suddenly shadows of four knights appear and attacked Pseudo, causing him to let go of the kitten who flip and being caught by a shadow figure similar to his older brother.
× you have something... of a Similar of the dollmaker... ×
The cat hisses as he sees the person in front of him a threat. 
( Nonono. I can explain! )
Even through he wanted to say this he was attacked by group of shadow Clones of familiar idols and dolls. 
{ Are you seriously getting beaten up by a cat? }
From the tree line bee appear looking amuse at his companion current state. 
× oh gosh... I thought I left this damn place. The mad hatter is here... ×
( Mad hatter— ?  )
Pseudo looks in the direction of Bee after dodging a punch by the shadow clone. His eyes widen.
( OI, WHAT THE—)
He ignored the attack and made a Sky hops toward toward bee and inspecting this stupid idiot. 
( WHY ARE YOU IN THAT FORM?)
{ ... None of your business.}
Bee smack his hands away with his ruby colored lacy gloves. He scoffed at the worry of his companion as he snap his hands 
( NO! YOU KNOW THATS AU IS CRAZY! As well that alternative self of yours!! Well, you are also crazy here. so that's another one to worry about.)
Pseudo tried to reason out.
 
×au... Huh. So it's not that fuck up place full of man eating flowers.×
The cat stops disperses his shadows before he look at those two who have an outfit similar to of that place. 
(*Gasp. How can you misinterpreted and think this au of crystal hearts and faes be mangle with that twisted place?!)
× you have outfit of that place. ×
( Well I can handle it just fine. Besides I can change back to another one. It's just a 3* rate. Not a 5* rate. )
As pseudo tried to explain it, the cat who don't know what he was talking about looked at him confused.
× what. ×
{ Just ignore him. His mentally-ill. }
Bee rolled his eyes. Before he takes out an apple from his pocket. 
{[ Welcome, Halloween feist!!]}
He threw the apple up in midair suddenly it glows, before long their surroundings changed to a madness mansion. Now they are inside a living room.
{ I'm gonna go sleep, since those people will take a while to get here...Get entertained by your favorites "idols", stupid idol simp and.. cat dolly, idc what ya do.}
Bee yawns as snap his hands, 3 figures are surrounded by spider webs like a mummy walking from nowhere. The webs disperse revealing lifeless and soulless clones of the other 3(?) crazy:b from the twisted wonderland. All three have sinister looks on their face.
( OI-- OI THIS IS A BAD JOKE! GOTT!! GET AWAY FROM ME...)
Pseudo quickly enter a defense mode as the grey one offer him crepes. That's probably poisonous!
{ I can control it now... See my nails is ruby color... }
Bee can't help but sigh and facepalm as the other tried to stab the living out of the clones with a polearm he owned.
( Yeah, yeah. Last time ya did this. We get nock by your own skill! Like I'm gonna believe ya control it out of the blue and get the scr as well and makes more trouble for me!)
The worrywart smack the baby blue spider's hands that were going to give him a handshake which cause him to cry and the angry mad blue one glared at him for what he did.
( Oh crap was that spider--)
Pseudo realize he just triggered a angry mob from the susamongus blue one who's at first try to comfort the the blob blue spider before chasing the reason his little brother is crying.
{ Stupid. } 
The other one sigh but ignore his companion current situation as his not gonna have his life become past tense with how he "play"he around with those clones. He give a side look at the cat who's licking his paws.
 Before turning his heels around to go to a room, the grey spider who smile at him offered him a crepe and look at him in a daze before his stomach grumble in hunger, he accept it with a soft nod and a small tint of embarrassment from being heard how hungry he was. The grey spider pat his head as he smile at him and before he left to eat his own crepe.

Omega’s Assault: Chapter 2
Here it is! The AO3 link to this Chapter is here (https://archiveofourown.org/works/40301664/chapters/100948392#workskin). If you’d rather read it on Tumblr, then...
Queen Elizant II pointed both of her blades towards the Wasp King, and his soldiers pointed their spears right back towards Elizant and her Explorers. Queen Bianca looked back and forth between the two factions in fear and confusion before raising her hands and speaking up.
Bianca: Wh-what is happening??? Elizant who is...
Bianca was shocked to notice Vanessa II behind the Wasp King, a pair of her own guards blocking her from both sides with their spears.
Bianca:...Is that the Wasp Queen?
The Wasp King let out a chuckle as the captive Vanessa II glared at him.
Wasp King: She is "Queen" of nothing. You may refer to me as the Wasp King, the sole ruler of the Wasp Kingdom!
Bianca: But...Wasps don't have Kings...
The Wasp King chuckled again before bowing lightly to the Bee Queen.
Wasp King: You are Queen Bianca, of the Bees, correct? Charmed, I'm sure.
Elizant: Do not feign pleasantries, you horrible tyrant, your minions have been attacking my people for moons now!
Vanessa lowered her head in shame once more.
Bianca:...How did you and yours get into my hive anyway, Wasp..."King"?
Wasp King: Well, as I would hope you are aware, we Wasps are just as capable of flight as you Bees. As such, my troops and I merely flew up to your hive's Balcony and made our way in.
Bianca: You snuck into my kingdom!?
Wasp King: "Snuck" is a strong word, we were faced with light opposition.
Bianca was disgusted with the Wasp King then, but before she could say anything a wheezing, dusty Hornet stumbled his way into The Hive's Hub.
Vanessa: Fuff!
Wasp King: General Ultimax?! I told you to distract the monster, you worthless imbecile!
General Ultimax: I...I-I tried, y-your highness...it chucked my t-tank like...like a pebble...I landed deep into the Lost Sands...
Bianca: Good gods, are you injured?
Ultimax was about to answer, but before he could (and before the Wasp King could insult him any further) the Deadlander Omega roared once again. Quickly, many of the Bugs there ran to the Balcony to view the creature, and at that point it was scarily close: it had an arm or two in the Lost Sands now, and its gaze was once again fixated on The Hive.
Ultimax: IT'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!
Bianca: N-nobody panic! Dr. H.B. has been tweaking her strongest machines for hours now, and hopefully they'll be able to ward the monster off!
Dr. H.B. caught the attention of all there when she walked in, huge remote control in her hands, and gave off her signature laugh.
H.B.: C'mon, Bianca, you say "hopefully" like victory isn't guaranteed. Sit back, all of you, and watch some masterfully made machinery do its work!
With a swift motion, H.B. hit a button on her remote and sent several flying Drones out of the Honey Factory and towards the giant Deadlander. Quickly the creature was surrounded by them, and as it shifted its many gazes in (what looked like) curiosity the biggest of the drones spoke.
Heavy Drone B-33: Target sighted. Preparing missile barrage.
Bee-Boops: Readying honey blasters.
Right then did the Bee-Boops started firing blobs of honey at one of the Omega's hands, and before it could fight back it received several missiles to its eyes from the Heavy Drone B-33. The monster roared again, and though it lifted a hand to fight it was slightly weighed down by all the honey.
H.B.: Haha! Witness the power of Bee Technology, boys and girls!!!
The Omega used some of its free hands to grab multiple Bee-Boops and tossed them full-speed towards Defiant Root, breaking holes into several buildings. One even hit the tree itself, leaving a deep mark. Bianca gasped in horror at this sight as H.B. grumbled and started hitting more buttons on her remote. The remaining Bee-Boops continued firing as they circled around, and the Heavy Drone started blasting lasers into the Omega's eyes in the hopes of ending it. Though the monster seemed to be pained, it still managed to swat and smash all the Bee-Boops surrounding it. It even knocked away the Heavy Drone, much to H.B.'s annoyance.
H.B.: Damn it! Come on, come ooooon!
Though it struggled to rise off the ground, the Heavy Drone did eventually make it into the air and even managed to fire off more lasers. These ones missed their targets, however, instead hitting a few of the Omega's wrists. The monster still reacted strongly to these blows and roared as it smashed the Heavy Drone again.
H.B.:...Alright, ya big bastard...if that's how you wanna play...
The Heavy Drone got up once more and started charging for one last hurrah of an attack. The Omega started moving towards it again, and once it rose an arm to strike the Heavy Drone blasted forward at an intense speed, intending to ram into the monster...said monster proceeded to grab the machine, seemingly unaffected by its "ramming". It squeezed the robot in its grasp, breaking it even further. Eventually the Heavy Drone B-33 was no longer in H.B.'s control, and it uttered one last phrase as it started intensely sparking.
Heavy Drone B-33: Damage capacity exceeded. Activating self-destruct sequence.
In an instant the machine had exploded, destroying one of the Omega's hands and causing it to stumble backwards into the Metal Lake. While the creature was stunned for the moment, its massive body caused the displaced water to flood various surrounding areas: the lower levels of the Rubber Prison were filled, much of the water splashed into the Far Grasslands, a third of the Lost Sands were turned to mud, the Ant Kingdom pier was all but destroyed, Metal Island was in ruin, and Bugs scrambled to help each other as many had been pushed into the lake's waters.
Meanwhile, everyone on the Hive's Balcony watched in varying levels of shock and terror. All except H.B., who was forcing out a laugh of "victory".
H.B.: Well, heh...we did manage to ward it off-
Bianca: You cannot possibly consider that a success, Honey Bee!!!
Vi: I mean...i-it is away from The Hive...
Leif: But we doubt it'll be away for long, not to mention the damage it's causing to everywhere else.
Wasp King:...Well, it would appear that Bee weapons can't stop it, and even Wasp weapons seem to struggle...and from what I know of Elizant's forces, I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything.
Queen Elizant II clenched her fist and glared at him.
Wasp King: I refuse to abandon this land [not when I did so much to gain control of it...], so if there are other options for us to fight the Deadlander Omega with I demand to hear them.
The others stood around trying to think of a solution, though some of them were too preoccupied with fear over what the monster may do next. Some were worried for the wellbeing of the Bugs in the areas it attacked, directly or otherwise. After a while, Vanessa spoke up to make a suggestion.
Vanessa: I have heard that the Termite Kingdom has excellent weaponry: if we cannot stop the Deadlander Omega, then they may be our next best bet.
Wasp King: Then I shall gather some troops and head there posthaste!
Vanessa: Wait, Hoaxe...
The Wasp King grumbled upon hearing her say that name...
Vanessa:...I think you should go with Elizant.
Elizant and Team Snakemouth were surprised by the suggestion, but the Wasp King's only reaction was to scoff.
Wasp King: And what makes you feel I care what YOU think?
Vanessa: If the...rulers of both the Wasp and the Ant Kingdoms talk with the Termites, they'll be more likely to understand the gravity of the situation. Thus, they'll be more likely to give you their weaponry, or at least help use it to beat the monster.
Wasp King: Ha! I don't need them to give me their weapons: I need only take them!
Vanessa: Yes, take the weapons we've no idea how to use. Cause conflict amongst the Bugs of this land and help breed disaster when a colossal beast is already threatening us on its own!
The Wasp King growled, not knowing how to refute her logic. Meanwhile, Elizant stepped forward and spoke, though her previously strict-sounding tone had slipped into one more of concern.
Elizant: W-with all due respect...the relationship between the Termite Kingdom and my own has...fallen...I doubt they will accept or listen to me at all.
Vanessa: We need to try, Elizant. There needs to be some way we can stop this monster, and right now it would seem that the Termites are our only chance.
Leif: But...what if they can't stop it?
Vanessa:...We cannot spend all our time worrying about that of which we are uncertain. We must do what know we can, and work to help all we can.
The Wasp King rolled his eyes and scoffed once more.
Wasp King: Ugh, enough of your preaching, Vanessa. Elizant, you are going to join me and my troops on our way to the Termite Kingdom.
Elizant: Team Maki will be coming with me. They are my strongest explorers, and-
Wasp King: Do you not trust me and my soldiers to keep you safe?
Elizant only glared at him further. He couldn't see her face, but he knew how she was looking at him and he knew how she felt about him. There was a tense silence for a moment, one that was broken by Kina walking in with a groan.
Kina: So I really did bring all that junk here for NOTHING, huh?
Maki: Kina...
Kabbu cleared his throat and brought himself forward, both to make a request of his own and also to try and take attention away from Kina's remark.
Kabbu: I-if I may request, your majesty, I suggest that me and my team come with you as well!
Vi: Yeah! I don't want that thing attacking our home either: I'll make the Termites help, one way or another!
While Kabbu scolded Vi for her implications, Elizant put a hand to her chin and thought for a moment.
Elizant:...Very well, Team Snakemouth. You can accompany us as well. We shall hasten work on the Tunnels and have them lead to the Termite Dome, then-
Wasp King: We've no time to wait for digging, you fool! The Termites have a dock, my troops shall carry us through there and we will meet with the Royals then.
Leif: Wouldn't they be opposed to us coming in unannounced?
Wasp King: Ha! The Bees were "opposed" and we came in anyhow!
Now Bianca started glaring at the Wasp King, having grown to hate him in a manner unlike how she felt for most other Bug. In such a short time, too.
Wasp King:...Besides, as you can see, the Deadlander is causing flooding all over the land: the Termites will be too busy with that to fight us off well.
Kabbu: I...I don't want to attack them-
Wasp King: We will attack whomever we must, you idiotic Dung Beetle!
Tensions were high all around: clearly the alliance was not going to be an easy one. Even the little Caterpillar, Yin, was worried, so she started huddling next to Maki for comfort.
Maki:...Queen Elizant...I would like to come, but I need to keep Yin safe...I cannot trust she will be with that Wasp King around.
Wasp King: I don't believe you have a choice, do you?
Bianca: I-if I may interject, Sir Maki...You may leave Yin with me. I like to think I am quite good with larvae: I will protect her to the best of my ability until you return.
Yin: Muh!
Maki thought about it for a minute, and when he was done he nodded and brought Yin into Queen Bianca's arms.
Maki: Please protect her, Queen Bianca.
Bianca: Of course, Sir Maki, I will do my best. I shall do everything in my power to ensure this little darling is happy and healthy!
Bianca raised Yin up and started lightly playing with her before being interrupted by the Wasp King.
Wasp King: On the subject of ensuring safety...General Ultimax!
Ultimax forced himself to stand at ready, in spite of how afraid he was feeling at that moment.
Ultimax: Y-yes, your highness!!!
Wasp King: You and some soldiers are to stay with Vanessa, keep her...safe...
The Wasp King leaned closer to Ultimax, keeping his voice low enough so that only he could hear.
Wasp King: [You and your troops are to keep an eye on Vanessa. If she seems to be planning anything, you are all to put a stop to it. Do I make myself clear?]
Ultimax:[...Y-yes, sire...]
The Wasp King nodded before calling a few of his tropes to go with Ultimax. A few others moved to stand with the King himself, and a few more moved to stand with Team Maki, Team Snakemouth, and Queen Elizant II.
Elizant:...Why must you bring so many of your soldiers?
Wasp King: To carry us, for what reason do you think?
Elizant was silent, but The Wasp King didn't care. The two glared at each other once more before Elizant crossed her arms in annoyance.
Elizant:...Are your troops not going to carry us down?
Wasp King: Ha! Why doe we need to use that if the Bees have an elevator? Use your head, woman...Follow me!
The Wasp Troopers sounded off in compliance, and they all start following the Wasp King. With little other choice, Elizant and her Explorers followed along (though none were happy about their current situation). Before Elizant was too far off, though, Bianca called for her.
Bianca: Elizant...I wish you the best of luck, I pray that you and your Explorers and your children will be unharmed...
Bianca looked to Vi, who was grumbling as she walked with her teammates. After a moment she looked to Elizant with a look more worried than she would ever show to most.
Bianca:...Please help ensure mine are as well...
Elizant:...I will do my best, Bianca. I will try-
Wasp King: Hurry up, wench!
Elizant clenched her fist again and quickly turned around, following The Wasp King in spite of her frustration. Bianca, meanwhile, sighed and held Yin close. Both she and Vanessa walked back into The Hive, heading for Bianca's Throne Room, Wasp Troopers surrounding both of them. Ultimax was following too, as was a frustrated Dr. H.B.
The doctor sighed before looking up at Ultimax.
H.B.:...Hey, uhhh...Fuff, right?
Ultimax: Wha-My name is General Ultimax-
H.B.: Yeah, yeah. That Wasp King guy said you were distracting the monster, right? How were you doing that?
Ultimax: With my tank! The Ultimax Tank, the perfect-
H.B.: What's a tank?
Ultimax: Will you stop-ugh...it's a sort of war machine, a big, bulky, wheeled vehicle with multiple guns and missiles and-
H.B.: What!? Since when did Wasps have those!?
Ultimax: We pride ourselves on our military prowess!!! Now quit wasting my time.
Ultimax turned away from H.B. and started moving faster into The Hive. The scientist, meanwhile, was very excited by the revelation, and was quick to follow the Wasps inside
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The feelings of trepidation and distrust felt by Elizant, The Wasp King, and their followers never left, even as they all moved through the Lost Sand towards Metal Lake. Vi clutched her Beemerang the entire time, ready to attack the Wasps at a moment's notice, and many of the Wasps shot threatening glares back at the Explorers now and again (though they'd often be frightened off by Kina's own glare). At any rate, the group made it to the eastern edge of the Lost Sands, in which a large hole was made by the Deadlander Omega. It was a well-known secret that the Sands were surrounded by massive walls, but this wasn't given much thought until now, when one was busted through by a creature bigger than most settlements.
Kabbu: Goodness...we really are small, aren't we?...To think that we now call that giant creature our adversary...
Vi: Is it a Giant? Apparently it's called a "Deadlander Omega" or something, but what's a Deadlander?
Kabbu: The Deadlanders are fearsome monsters, unlike any you'd find in your average grasslands. We had to encounter them often in the North.
Leif: But were any of this size?
Kabbu: No...I could never before fathom that a creature so large could exist, let alone how it would interact with us.
Wasp King: Will the lot of you quiet down? Your cowardice will only get in our way...
Kina: Who are you calling cowards, you-
Wasp King: SHHHHHHHHH...Look...
The Wasp King pointed, at the nearby Deadlander Omega. It was still reeling from the Heavy Drone's self-destruction, many of its arms in the Metal Lake, though a few of its eyes were still open.
Wasp King: We need to be careful, and quiet as we can be. My soldiers shall carry us and fly us from here to the Termite Kingdom Docks. I would suggest staying still until we get there, because if we will NOT be stopping to pick up any that fall.
Leif: What if you fall, then?
The Wasp King chuckled lightly, yet disgustingly.
Wasp King: I am the King: I trump all of you in importance.
Elizant: Do not forget that Vanessa's plan involved both of us speaking with the Termites, cretin.
Wasp King: I have NOT forgotten, Elizant, though if you are foolish enough to drown on the way there I will gladly attempt my original plan and take the weapons by force!
Elizant was about to bite back at The Wasp King, but Maki placed a hand onto her shoulder in protest.
Maki: Your Highness, remember what Queen Vanessa said: is it really so wise for conflicts to rise between our groups when that monster is causing so much chaos?
Wasp King: Ugh, you lot keep bringing up Vanessa! And she is no Queen, I already said! Bah...Soldiers! We shall begin our flight to the Termite Kingdom now: fly low, avoid the creature's gaze when you can, and keep your mouths SHUT until we get there.
Wasps: Yes, Wasp King!
The Wasps started getting into formation: each Bug there got two Wasps to lift them up at once (except for Elizant, who got three, and Vi, who got one). As soon as the "passengers" were relatively comfortable, the Wasps quickly got to flying. Luckily for them all, the eyes on the Deadlander that were open were mostly pointing away from their general direction. As they flew southwards towards the Termites, the group were all very tense: most of them struggled to stay still and quiet, with the Explorers in particular not fully trusting the Wasps that carried them. Vi in particular was very annoyed, and she made that clear to the Wasp that was holding her.
Vi: Ugh, will you not grip me so hard?! You're hurting me!
Wasp: Shut your trap, brat, before I drown you...
Vi: I dare you, jerk!
Wasp King: Both of you be quiet! We may attract...
Suddenly, a menacing light shined onto the group of Bugs, and they could barely contain their dread once they had realized it: the Deadlander Omega's eyes were scanning the area, looking for something, anything...and it spotted them. It spotted several Bugs flying and being carried, and it started to slowly move towards them, every second or third step splashing another wave of water onto the already-damaged areas around it. The Wasps and their temporary allies didn't know why it chased them: was it through hunger? Curiosity? Malice? They all knew they couldn't scare the creature off, they knew that they couldn't reason with it (what with not knowing anything about it), and they knew that they couldn't fight it as they were, so they panicked. The Wasps flew erratically, and faster than what made their "passengers" comfortable, in the hopes that they could potentially dodge the Deadlander. Vi, meanwhile, was buzzing her own wings and trying to get out of her Wasp Carrier's hold.
Vi: LEMME GO! I DON'T WANT IT TO EAT ME, LEMME GO!!!
Wasp: Quit scrambling, you stupid kid, you'll-
They were both interrupted by a wave that crashed into them, launching them forward. Elizant and her Explorers were horrified, Kabbu and Leif were in particular, and the Beetle reached out in vain to try and grab his comrade.
Kabbu: VI!!!
Leif thought quickly and launched an icy projectile towards the water where Vi and the Wasp were about to land. It formed a floating of platform of ice, big enough to keep both the Bee and the Wasp out of the water, though they landed onto it hard enough to still be harmed.
Vi: Owwwww...
Elizant: Wasp King! We must mobilize to rescue Vi and her ally!
Wasp King: We will not stop for anything! Do you think we will last if we halt every time one of you pests stumble!?
Elizant: But we need them!
Leif scowled at Elizant: "But we need them!" she said, as if a pair of Bugs (one being still being a child) were but tools to her. Not that the Wasp King was any better, with his lack of care for them being apparent. Leif looked away from the Royals, both in disgust and to make sure Vi was safe. For her part, Vi forced the Wasp off and painstakingly rose to her feet, only to turn around and notice the Deadlander Omega striding towards her. She stood still for a moment, paralyzed, until the colossal monster took a step large enough to send yet another wave her way. Face-to-face with the threat this time, Vi's fight-or-flight instinct made the rare choice of flight, and as she buzzed away (leaving the still-damaged Wasp on the icy platform) she screamed a cry of pure terror: the type of cry one makes when faced with little other options. A desperate cry. The Wasp on the ice had barely gotten himself up before the wave assaulted him, launching him forcefully into the water and bringing him to flail as he struggled to stay afloat.
Wasp: HELP! HELP M-
The Deadlander grabbed the Wasp, and focused a few of its eyes on him as it lifted him up towards itself. The bright light emanating from its many eyeballs pained his, yet the sheer force of its grip made it hard for him to move at all, let alone look away.
Vi had made her way to the Wasps carrying her teammates and just barely caught onto Kabbu's hand. He could see her face stained with terrified tears, the likes nothing they knew of would normally bring from her.
Kabbu: V-Vi?! Are you well??? Are you-
Kabbu looked to the monster and noticed the Wasp in its claws. He wasn't sure if it would eat him or crush him or even truly intentionally harm him, but in his own terror Kabbu was in no mood to find out.
Kabbu: That Wasp!!! We need to help him!
The Wasp King: Silence, you utter idiot! We cannot risk the beast delaying us any further: He got himself caught, anyway. We only need to worry about reaching the Capitol!
Leif glared at the Wasp King once more: between Elizant and now this tyrant, Leif was starting to lose his respect for royalty. Suddenly he formed a chunk of ice in his hands, and he launched it towards the Deadlander Omega, less in the hopes of damaging it and more in the hopes of making it release the poor Wasp. Though the frosty magic managed to catch the Beast's attention, it still held tight to the captive Wasp as it continued moving towards the group.
Kina: ARE YOU CRAZY, WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!?!?!?!
Leif: We're not sacrificing each other! We live together or we die together!
The Wasp King: You worthless fool! Soldiers, drop him!!!
Before anyone else could object, the Wasps carrying Leif let go of him, leaving him at the mercy of the monster and the Metal Lake.
Kabbu: NO!!!
Kabbu forced himself out of his Wasp's hands and dived towards Leif, leaving a terrified Vi to zip down after him: she did feel it wasn't the wisest idea, but her care for her teammates superceded her self-preservation, at least in that instance.
Maki: Team Snakemouth!
Maki immediately got to trying to remove himself from his own carrier, barely being slowed down by both the Wasp's struggles and Kina's shouts in protest.
The Wasp King: Gods, are you all so pitiful!? We should just abandon all of you!
Before Elizant could retaliate she was alerted by a cry from Kabbu: he, Vi, and Leif managed to survive their fall, with Leif having quickly made an ice platform big enough for all three of them.
Kabbu: Hurry forward, Your Majesty! We'll hold the Deadlander off!!!
Elizant: Kabbu!? Wasp King, we-
The Wasp King: SILENCE OR ALL OF YOU WILL BE DROWNED!!! WASPS, DO NOT STOP MOVING FORWARD!!!
Without question did his soldiers keep flying, and as much as it pained Elizant she knew that neither she nor Team Maki could do anything if they were to fall. Maki and Kina watched Team Snakemouth helplessly as Elizant turned away, her expression hidden as always. Team Snakemouth, meanwhile, stared up at the Deadlander Omega as it moved towards them, towering over them. Vi shakily grasped a few Needles and turned to her teammates.
Vi: "W-w-we live together...or we die together..."right, Leif?
Leif placed hand on both of his teammates' shoulders and nodded.
Leif: Right.
Kabbu: Do you hear that, menace!!! We do not fear you! We shall fight against any threat to protect those we care for!
The Deadlander didn't understand Kabbu, perhaps didn't even hear him, and instead emotionlessly brought a hand directly onto him, his allies, and the platform they stood on. Team Maki stared in shock, even Kina being horrified into silence...and this horror was turned to confusion when the behemoth pulled its hand out of the water, seemingly grasping a small orb. This orb contained Team Snakemouth, scared and shivering with the exception of Leif. Leif was covering his face for a moment before he realized the position he and his allies were in. Almost instinctively, Leif put out his hands and held them against the inner walls of the orb. Though the Wasps continued flying towards the Termite Dome, Elizant and Team Maki shared Team Snakemouth's bewilderment as the giant Deadlander did little more than stare at the orb and the tiny creatures within.
Vi: I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die ...
Kabbu: Leif...how...what is this?
Leif: Oh, buddy, if we knew we'd have been doing it a looooooong time ago.
The trio looked around and at each other in confusion for a while, before being interrupted by the Deadlander shaking the orb they were protected by: first lightly, then faster. Leif's face showed clear signs of struggle during the shaking, and though he wished to shout at the monster he couldn't help but feel that he should conserve his energy. Vi, on the other hand, had no such feeling.
Vi: GODS' SAKES, EITHER KILL US OR LEAVE US ALONE, YOU GIANT FUCKING CREEP!!!!!
The Deadlander Omega suddenly stopped shaking and brought the orb closer to one of its eyes, immediately freezing Team Snakemouth in terror.
Kabbu: Did...did it hear you?
Vi: If you heard me I didn't mean it.
The creature continued to stare at them and growled in a manner that strangely sounded more inquisitive than threatening. At any rate, it didn't stare for long before carelessly lobbing the orb towards the Termite Kingdom docks. The orb soared and spun through the air, nearly hitting the Wasp King himself (getting a frustrated cry out of him). Though this was the direction they were headed anyway, Team Snakemouth's fellow Explorers (as well as Elizant herself) called and reached out to them as they flew past, trying in vain to help them.
Elizant: No!!!
Team Snakemouth themselves screamed as they spiraled past before they crashed onto the ground in the Termite Dome. All three Bugs were terribly dizzied from the throw, and had barely the balance or stamina to speak, let alone get up.
Vi: Uuuuuugh, my baaaack! Is this how it feels to be an old lady?!
Before Kabbu or Leif could try and comfort Vi, the trio had several blades and crossbows pointed at them from various Termite Guards.
Termite Guard: You there, where the hell did you come from!?
Kabbu rolled over onto his belly, though his fatigue prevented him from getting up fully. Even still, he raised his arms to show he was no threat and spoke as quickly and clearly as his mind could allow him after having just been tossed like a pebble.
Kabbu: W-w-we are Explorers, from the Ant Kingdom, and we wish to speak to your monarchs!!!
Termite Guard: Ant Kingdom? In what damn world would our monarchs want to speak to anybody from the Ant Kingdom?
Before Kabbu could answer further, the Wasp King and his troops landed, bringing with them Elizant and Team Maki.
Termite Guard: What the-the Ant Queen??? And-who are you supposed to be?!
Wasp King: We require your kingdom's finest weaponry, bring us to it at once!
Termite Guard: Are you mad!? At least answer our question first!
Wasp King: I asked you no questions, I am issuing COMMANDS!
The Wasp King began charging a large fireball, and the Termites were too paralyzed by fear to respond. Before he could throw it, however, he was tackled by Leif. The attack knocked both of them to the floor, and the Wasp King's crown fell of his head and clinked around on the tough dome ground for a bit. Leif noticed that the Wasps they had come with looked strangely...fatigued. They held their heads and groaned, looking pained and dizzied. Before anyone could ask anything the Wasp King angrily put his crown back on and shoved Leif off of him.
Wasp King: Soldiers, fight off those Termites!!!
No sooner than him shouting that did the Wasps seemingly recover and go straight to assaulting the Termite Soldiers. Vi and Kina quickly got ready to fight as well before stopping when Queen Elizant held out her arm.
Elizant: Explorers, stop fighting! Wasp King, we specifically wanted-
Elizant cried out in shock when a fireball zipped past her, blasting into a nearby wall.
Wasp King: Be SILENT, you idiotic embarrassment of Royalty!
Elizant: How dare you...
Quickly, the Wasp King pulled out his axe as the Ant Queen pulled out her swords. They clashed their weapons for but a moment before a large hand crashed through the roof of the Termite Dome. Some Bugs were quick to jump out of the way as soon as it came in, and many of the others proceeded to run around in a panic as more and more of the colossal claws broke into the isolated kingdom.
Termite Guard: IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!
Kabbu: P-p-please, calm down! W-we-
Vi: WE NEED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!
Leif: Vi, chill out!!!
As the Bugs inside the Termite Dome scrambled to avoid being trampled, the Deadlander Omega outside had no clue what it was even doing. In spite of the destruction it was causing, the creature didn't see what was in the dome, and almost seemed to be trying to feel around in the hopes of finding out. It took a few more steps, these ones away from the dome and deeper into the Forsaken Lands, but for one of its steps it halted for a moment and stared into the fog. Though none of its many eyes showed any emotion, the Deadlander had an apprehensive sort of aura about it. The colossal beast shuddered before it started heading away from the Termite Kingdom and towards the Ant Kingdom. As its legs broke through more of the Termite Dome, the shock and terror amongst the Bugs inside worsened until they all stopped. Once the Deadlander Omega had left they all stood there, confused, with little remaining of the monster's presence but the structures it destroyed and the sound of its footsteps in the distance.
Termite Guard:...What the fuck was that?
Kabbu: That was the Deadlander Omega, a gigantic menace that has been spreading terror and causing chaos all over Bugaria [though we know not what it wants, if anything] and we all traveled over the Metal Lake because we were hoping you and your kingdom could help us end its terrible rampage before everything that every single one of us holds near and dear to our hearts is trampled like dirt!!!
There was a bit of an awkward silence afterwards, only being broken by the Guard's response.
Termite Guard:...With what boats?
Elizant stepped forward and cleared her throat.
Elizant: We need to speak with your monarchs: your kingdom is known for being very technologically advanced-
Wasp King: Certainly more than hers is.
Elizant:...And we hoped to form an alliance with Queen Layra and King Hector, in order to combine our forces with their weaponry and drive off the Deadlander Omega.
The Termites groaned and muttered amongst themselves, clearly concerned about the proposition.
Termite Guard: Under most circumstances, there'd be no way in Hell our King would want anything to do with you...
The Guard looked upward at one of the many holes that were quite literally punched into the top of their kingdom's protective dome.
Termite Guard:...This ain't most circumstances, though.
The Guard sighed and shook his head before ordering his cohorts to start doing damage control. Afterwards he motioned to both Elizant and the Wasp King as well as their subjects.
Termite: C'mon. Palace is this way.
Both Monarchs present nodded their heads and proceeded to follow the termite, their soldiers right behind. Kina put her kunai back where they were and giggled.
Kina: And that Wasp guy thought we had to fight!
Maki glared at his sister before rolling his eyes, choosing to say nothing. Meanwhile Team Snakemouth leaned over to each other and whispered as they walked.
Vi: I'm with the Termite, what the fuck was that? The Omega broke in and left like it was nothing.
Kabbu: Vi, watch your language, and...I'm afraid I have no clue. Perhaps it got bored?
Leif: Can't be, it was too sudden.
Vi: I dunno, I'm pretty quick to drop things when I'm bored.
Leif: Yeah, but you're a Bee and not...that. What we're wondering about are the Wasps: did you see how they got when we knocked their King over?
Vi: Yeah, what was that? Sympathy headaches?
Kabbu: The Wasp King was very quick to put his crown back on as well...
Vi: That's 'cuz he looks dumb without it.
Vi and Kabbu shared a quiet laugh. However, Leif was too busy thinking to laugh along. Whilst his teammates tried lightening the mood with one another, Leif's mind was focused on the meaning of what just occurred...
Back at The Hive, General "Fuff" Ultimax was sitting by the Plaza's honey fountain and trying in vain to catch his breath. Despite how much he would have liked to pretend otherwise, the Hornet was scared out of his mind, and was barely able to keep his breath anything short of a hyperventilation. After a while he stuck his hand in the fountain and was about to bring some of its sweet, healing honey into his mouth when Vilma caught sight of him.
Ultimax: Errrr...can...can I have some?
Vilma:...Yes.
Ultimax: Thank you...
Vilma nodded and went "Mhm" as Ultimax stuffed his hand into his mouth, trying to drown his terror in sweets. He nearly choked when Dr. H.B. popped up next to him and whistled for his attention.
H.B.: Helloooo, Fuff! How're ya doin'?
Ultimax: GODS, WOMAN, GIVE ME SOME SPACE!!!
H.B.: Fair enough.
The Bee took a couple steps back and let Ultimax breath some more. Afterwards she cleared her throat and asked again.
H.B.: So, how are you doing?
Ultimax:...What do you think?
H.B.: Eeeh, I'd be pretty bummed if I had something as cool as a "tank" get destroyed.
Ultimax: Yeah, I bet you would!
H.B.: Speaking of which, how easy would you say its internals are to work with?
Ultimax sat in silence in a moment before tilting his head at her.
Ultimax: Huh?
H.B.: I mean, it doesn't make much difference to me but would you say it's a complicated machine or a simple one orrrr...?
Ultimax: I-I...I don't entirely know how it works, I didn't build it.
H.B.: Meh, that's fine, reverse engineering's my specialty.
Ultimax: Reverse...what???
H.B.: You know how to use it, though, right?
General Ultimax suddenly shot up and stood as proudly as his wobbly legs would allow him.
Ultimax: Of course I do, have you any idea who I am? I'm the finest General in the Wasp Kingdom, not some dope who just stumbled-
H.B. Ah, nice, so you will be useful!
Ultimax's face drooped and he looked to the Doctor confusedly.
Ultimax: Useful?
H.B.: Come with me to my lab, would you?
As the scientist made her way to her laboratory, Ultimax (with a baffled look about him) glanced around before deciding he had no choice but to follow...

Tell us about the bees!(Keralis and Chrys)
Of course!!!! Also the read more is because this post got pretty long- Enjoy!!
 So Keralis and Chrys are both Apisites. While Keralis was born one, Chrys took the form of one as he’s from the same species of shapeshifter as Hex. Coincidentally Chrys is also a relative of Hex (Brother or cousin, I haven’t decided) but that’s a story for another day.
Apisites reside on a planet I currently call “Lush” since I don’t have an actual name for it yet. It’s fitting cause it houses an incredibly diverse amount of flora and megaflora. By megaflora I mean that there are giant flowers, and frankly it looks like something out of a children’s book. Apisites also reside here along with two other species, Mantodia (Stress’s species!) and the Mazliota/Maliophyta (Bdubs’ species! Torn on their name tho) It’s a hive, pun half intended, of activity! Unfortunately it may be on the Watcher’s radar for this exact reason but it’s safe. For now.
Ok, back to the bees! Apisites come in all shapes and sizes! You have ones resembling bees, hornets, wasps, etc etc. There’s also more “alien” appearing ones as patterns can variate. Also I’d like to think they mimic bee/similar pollinator species that exist in the galaxy. I don’t have a reason for this lore-wise, I just think it’s neat! Elytrian patternings work the same way, but this post is about the bees not the birds! (Haha get it, the birds and the bees-)
Apisites are known as fabulous craftsmen and architects. Instead of towns or cities they live in hives of varying sizes! Some are small and house about a villages worth of folk while others dwarf the flora with their grandeur! They also aren’t too picky about where they build either. In the trunks of massive trees, hanging from their branches, built from the ground up or even the ground down! What they are particular about is presentation. Competition between new colonies to see who can build the most extravagant or innovative hive are common. Usually these are in good faith.
Another noteable thing about Apisites is that their hives run on a form of Monarchy. But it’s a little odd. The queens of the hive switch freely, meaning they only stay in power for about some few weeks at a time. An example and inspiration of this idea would be the Rainwings from Wings of Fire. Technically it would be more of an oligarchy but the title of “Queen” just sounds neat. The responsibility of the hive is also shared and fosters a closer community as everything is more of a team effort. Just like earth bees, a lot of communication revolves around body language. While yes, dancing is important to them and serves a lot of purposes, they don’t communicate by it. Mainly a lot of factors like tone, intention, etc can be picked out from their body language. Antennae position, wing buzzing, how they hold their arms, and more is all apart of how they communicate! This often results in a lot of miscommunication with other species, though, especially among the Apisites newer to space.
Speaking of a lot of Apisites don’t partake in space travel! Their food source is a honey made on Lush, specifically from the flora that grows around them. It’s harder to produce in space, annoying to ship long distances, but at least it stores well. Plus many Apisites consider themselves homebodies and prefer to stick close to the hive. Ok since this post has been sitting in my drafts for like a week plus its just. Really long, I’ll cut it here. Though feel free to ask more about them!! I love my bees :]

FAIRY TAIL HEADCANONS— facts about the dragneel siblings
NOTES: enjoy! Just something that I made to tide ya over until more oneshots come out. I’m working on stuff for other fandoms, and I wanted to write something for Fairy Tail again, even if it is kinda small compared to other content I create. I can't remember if I've said this before, but here is the order of the children's births; natsuko & asher, alizeh, edrei & kazuo, keina, and himeko (so she's the baby of the family). 
WARNINGS: very brief mentions of depression, mentions of a character losing their arm.
{~~~}
NATSUKO FAYN DRAGNEEL:
Natsuko sings in the shower. 
She’ll deny it to the end of time, but she sings in the shower (she has a voice that’s similar to Hayley Williams’, the lead singer of Paramore btw, voice). 
So Natsu and Gray getting at each other’s throats can be aggravating at times as well as amusing
But let’s add hotheaded Natsuko in the mix :) and shit does she clap back xD
Natsuko likes to challenge Edrei to fights (which Edrei does not entertain lol). 
To everyone’s surprise, Natsuko isn’t a huge fan of spicy foods. 
She much rather prefers sour or savory foods. 
Also, she really likes kinesthetic activities. 
ASHER IGNEEL DRAGNEEL:
Likes to challenge Alizeh to fights because of the fact that she’s so stoic and doesn’t show a reaction. 
Probs challenge her to fights every other day I’m not even kidding. 
“FIGHT ME, ALI!!”
*cue Ali walking away and ignoring her older brother*
Secretly sleeps with a plushy that Himeko gave him when she was really young. 
Really likes sushi 
LOVES earrings and flannels
ALIZEH MIKA DRAGNEEL:
Really likes strawberry milk 
And lace. Ali really likes lacy things. Not too much lace, but just enough. 
Drinks any type of wine and cocktails when she’s older and obviously of legal age. 
Wears beanies religiously 
Has a soft spot for Himeko 
Honestly, Ali is a relatively apathetic person. This stems from her experience with depression.
Speaking of depression, she was diagnosed with it when she was at the age of nine. 
Hates long sleeves and blue jeans. 
She would rather wear tops and skirts or dresses. Tops and skirts are usually her go-tos though.
EDREI KIMIKA DRAGNEEL:
She doesn’t like bees.  
Like at all. 
Yeah, bees may be dying at an alarming rate, as the memes state, but Edrei Kimika Dragneel does not give a doggy style damn because she hates bees (honestly wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and all of those motherfuckers are scarier than bees but okay—). 
When Edrei is older, like in her mid-twenties, she ends up losing her right arm during a very horrible fight and she had to get it amputated and replaced with a prosthetic arm. 
Hums to herself a lot.  
Sometimes she’ll sing, but after Natsuko walked in on her singing while putting some books away in the library of Fairy Tail, Edrei has been more cautious about others being around her before she sings a few notes. 
If you’re wondering, her singing voice is similar to Ariel Bloomer from the band Icon For Hire.
KAZUO REN DRAGNEEL:
He’ll sometimes wear glasses
But he doesn’t like wearing them tbh. 
He finds glasses annoying but he won’t change to contacts because he’s scared of anything being in his eyes. 
Kazuo reads a lot of books. 
In fact, he has read so many books that he’s probably read all of the books in the library of both Ice Wind AND Fairy Tail 
And those libraries are fucking HUGE. 
Plays chess and checkers with Keina 
Really likes wearing rings 
He falls asleep fastest in a cold, dark room.  
Really good at math 
Doesn’t like social studies because the things that are taught in schools are fabricated (which is actually true, especially in USA schools.)
KEINA MAEKO DRAGNEEL:
They’ll beat anyone at chess or checkers 96% of the time. 
Natsuko challenges Keina to fight her but Keina just ignores her as Ali does to Asher.  
Keina is the strategist of the family, next to Kazuo and Edrei. 
Keina actually ends up getting a magic-centric illness that puts her in a life-threatening situation (Fairy Tail and Ice Wind didn’t know what illness it was, so it was a race against time). 
Keina is really really bad at remembering names, so they’ll just give nicknames to the people they don’t know the names of or they’ll say something like “hey, you, come over here for a minute.” 
Doesn’t like her middle name. No one knows why and she doesn’t talk about it. She just says “It doesn't fit me.” Or “I don't like it.”
They have matching earrings with Ali. Ali has the purple bow earrings, while Keina has the white bow earrings. Ali got them for her sibling on their birthday one year.
HIMEKO MAIYA DRAGNEEL:
This girl loves rice balls 
And I mean LOVES rice balls. 
“DON’T YOU DARE STEAL MY RICE BALLS, ASHER!”
“OW! WHY THE HELL DID YOU STAB MY HAND WITH YOUR FORK?!”
Always has her hair in pigtails 
Adores pearls, it’s her favorite gemstone
Her favorite color is white. Her second favorite color is pink. 
When Himeko was younger (like toddler years to five or six years old), Alizeh and Edrei would help her bathe. 
Himeko is the angel and baby of the Dragneel family 😇 
This means that she is often very protected by her older siblings since she’s the youngest.
Himiko can still hold her own though oh my god 😮✋🏼

Okay, two plot holes:
1. If Alya is still able to use the fox miraculous, but under a different disguise, why can't the same apply to Chloé? Sure she'll be upset that she can no longer be known as Queen Bee, but in the end, she still has the bee miraculous. She and Alya could've made good under cover buddies. It would've helped them develop and maybe Alya would think "Hmm maybe Chloé was never that bad at all."
2. Speaking of which, while the concept behind it was good, how does using the miraculous under cover even work? Wouldn't Shadowmoth still know that someone is still using the fox miraculous? He knows Alya is Rena Rouge, but Rena Furtive? That's not even close! If Chloé chose something like Invisible Hornet, maybe I can see him getting tricked.
Maybe I'm not thinking logically, but the idea of Alya going undercover just bothered me a lot and it just had me thinking.
(I received this ask before “Kuro Neko”, so I won’t be discussing concepts about changing suits in this post)
I think I get what the writers are going for here.
The thing about Rena Furtive is that she’s supposed to be working behind the scenes, creating subtle illusions to help out Ladybug so Shadowmoth doesn’t realize there’s another Fox heroine. We don’t even know if Shadowmoth even knows Rena Furtive exists as Rocketear never got a good look at her like he did with Alya.
Shadowmoth knows Ladybug wouldn’t trust Chloe with the Bee again, which is why he never suspected her of getting her Miraculous back after Vesperia debuted (although I once read a fanfic that made Chloe Guardian because he didn’t suspect her after “Miracle Queen”), and if there was a new Bee heroine introduced assuming Ladybug gave Chloe a second chance prior to the betrayal, he could have easily targeted her again like in “Miraculer”,

i'll give you the sun playlist <3
these are random associations i made between songs and igyts characters/ships/stories and it's 12 am and i'm bored so why not
boys will be bugs - cavetown for noah
"I'm a dumb teen boy, I eat sticks and rocks and mud"
"Don't mess with me, I’m a big boy now and I'm very scary"
"I have friends who understand me, their names are spider, beetle bee"
this song is totally a representation of noah's personality. i mean noah spends most of his time outdoors. in the trees. with bugs and animals. you can't tell me this wouldn't be his favorite song c'mon.
august - taylor swift for noah and brian (this one's gonna be a looong one)
"But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine"
"Your back beneath the sun Wishin' I could write my name on it Will you call when you're back at school? I remember thinkin' I had you"
"And say, "Meet me behind the mall" So much for summer love and saying "us" 'Cause you weren't mine to lose You weren't mine to lose, no"
IT'S SETTLED. THIS SONG BELONGS TO NOAH AND BRIAN PLEASE DON'T TELL ME OTHERWISE. just remember the way they spent every day of the summer together and how noah felt when brian had to go away to boarding school after everything that's happened. the summer went by so quickly and it ended horribly for both of them even though they were seriously crushing on each other.
california girls - katy perry
I declare this the national anthem of 13-year-old Jude and the Hornets. Do I even have to explain?
diana - one direction (dianna sweetwine and guillermo garcia)
oh god, oh god. this song was made for guillermo and dianna's story. i mean, these lyrics:
"Diana, let me be the one to Light a fire inside those eyes You've been lonely, you don't even know me But I can feel you crying Diana, let me be the one to Lift your heart up and save your life I don't think you even realize Baby, you'd be saving mine Diana"
AND PARTICULARLY,
"I wanna reach out for ya, I wanna break these walls I speak a different language, but I still hear you call"
REMEMBER? REMEMBER, REMEMBER?! GUILLERMO IS A MAN WHO WHEN HE WALKS IN A ROOM ALL THE WALLS FALL DOWN. it's obvious that Louis Tomlinson read I'll Give You the Sun and loved it so much he wrote a song about it
enchanted - taylor swift (jude and oscar)
"There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you"
this verse might as well be based on when jude was looking for guillermo's studio all weary and desperate until she went to the church and met oscore and, well, you know
"Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" 'Cross the room your silhouette Starts to make its way to me The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks Like passing notes in secrecy"
god, i rewrote an entire verse of this song in jude's point of view because it's actually perfect. they both met each other indirectly before they ACTUALLY met each other and when they spent time together it was all like, "where have i seen you before?!?!" and i think this verse really just speaks for the origins of their relationship
better than revenge (jude and oscar and brooke)
a little irrelevant ig but these lyrics perfectly describe that part when jude hid in the closet in the studio while oscar and brooke were hanging out
"The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage""
traitor - olivia rodrigo (noah and brian and freaking courtney)
yeah yeah we're all aware that noah and brian are now out and perfectly happy with each other BUT that huge incident when brian said he's done with noah and then the next day noah saw him and courtney together:
"Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew That you talked to her, maybe did even worse I kept quiet so I could keep you And ain't it funny How you ran to her The second that we called it quits?" "And ain't it funny How you said you were friends? Now it sure as hell don't look like it You betrayed me And I know that you'll never feel sorry For the way I hurt, yeah"
those last two lines especially!! brian was completely overwhelmed with fear of being outed (which is fair) that he probably forgot to consider how noah was feeling or what's been going on with him lately

as it turns out my body has decided sleep is stupid so here have some fun facts about dreamless
- the hive does not give a flying fuck about what is going on outside of their hive. they know absolutely nothing, and they cheerfully keep it that way. they export honey to hallownest (and deepnest/arcleome) and that is it. thats where their business ends.
- will be elaborated on later, but hornet is the Hivechild, and she has many, many many many adoptive bee siblings that love her. its very overwhelming for her, because they all but dive bomb her in groups of 20 whenever she visits and simultaneously start talking to her.
- vespa is alive, well, and a badass. definitely named hornet too, since hornet was mostly raised by her anyway.
- the grimm troupe is still doing their usual thing, but are unlikely to visit hallownest since it is still Technically alive. only very technically. it is still possible to summon them though, if need be.
- grimm is still grimm and is still doing his usual grimm thing, but dreamless will emphasize the fact that the true nightmare god is the nightmare heart, not grimm; he is a demigod at best.
- hornet is mostly a martial fighter, but she managed to learn a little bit of Weaver magic before everything went to shit. she imbues her thread with the magic, and she uses it well. she just doesnt have a lot of mastery over it, unfortunately.
- hornet’s head is made of a bone-like substance, and her eyes are just sockets, the same as the vessels. this, and her stature, take after her sire; most everything else comes from herrah.
- i will not specifically explain since this is spoilers technically, but there is a total of four living vessels that will appear in dreamless, at different intervals. you know two of them well.
- and speaking of them, since they are no longer the hollow knight (theyre called the dreamless knight instead, since. yknow.), their dreamless nickname isnt holly. they do pick a different name though and i think its pretty :)
- a good chunk of the warrior dreams either just straight up dont exist cough gorb, or are still living and are among the population of hallownest. i couldnt find a way to fit them into the plot, so welp. snip snip.
- all five great knights are alive, though perhaps not well. thats kind of debatable, considering the state of hallownest as a whole, but anyway.
- most important/relevant/talked about(?) npcs are also alive, except zote. because. i genuinely dont know where to put him. sorry to any zote fans out there. hes not dead, hes just not in the story.
- and as a closing remark, ghost is full of snark because i love it that way, and i hope i do writing that justice

The Court: Origins
Guess who wrote that instead of searching for an appart ? .-.
But kinda like it and I mean there's Hawkgirl so it can't be that bad (yes it's from the animated JL. I mean it's the best girl from that carton. Best. Girl.)
-
Ladybug and Chat Noir meet heros : Wonder Woman is the First (working in Paris ?) and she introduces them to the rest. Because they need help and decent backing. (shinanigans and awkwardiness are totally here, they're fans ok?) But it's a firm 'no' to any direct intervention from foreign heroes who doesn't manage his emotions (akumatized Superman... brr). But they need help. They send Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl. (Wonder Woman would have come, with her own ties with the Miraculous and all, but she's already the ambassador of her people so can't.) Immediately, there are results. Crazy the efficacity of training right? (Master Fu gets an earful along the way, heroes don't like this Gardian way of his)
Ladybug is still his apprentice but she has back-up so she doesn't drown and she trains Chat Noir in secret from Fu. Because y'know, they're p a r t n e r s! (Hawkgirl called bullshit on the inequality between the two and Martian Manhunter said it was a good idea so). Ladybug and Chat Noir totally plan to rope Nino in it too. The Turtle always have more Gardian-vibe than the rest because Protection and Nino is Nino so he's trustworthy. (He could be Grand Gardian in the future but Ladybug is a martyr if anything else and she doesn't want to overburden him. She works on that. (And Chat Noir works on the "self-sacrificing" bit of his personality. Hawkgirl called bullshit on that too)).
They don't know each other's identity but when Chat Noir flirts and Ladybug complains they know it's more for fun than anything else. Sure, they have a tiny tiny crush on each other but they're heroes (teenage heroes) after all, they need the comic relief please.
Marinette and Adrian are more busy than ever and it's hard sometimes but they're not drowning and it's better than what could have been without the Justice League so they manage. Sure, Marinette doesn't design as much as before and Adrian runs on three hours of sleep tops but they manage! Sure they're in high school now but they're in seconde and it can be a lot of work but it's also the year the most laid back of high school so. They can do it.
With help, comes suspects. Did you think Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl were here only as supports? They're might be not as detective-oriented as Batman but they have their own way to have answers. They're still heroes, even if they're not detectives. Chat Noir isn't happy when his father made it on the List and is a serious suspect. And he's not happy when Ladybug supports this theory with her own evidence either. And sure his suspects are believable too but he overlooks Gabriel completely and Ladybug is not impressed with him (Lila comes back at the same time and Marinette is not impressed with Adrien either.) Maybe their argument and all the yelling gave away their identities a little too quickly. Oups.
They ignore each other for two good weeks, in class like in battle, before Hawkgirl forces them to talk. (Communication is important kids). It's not a fun conversation. They somewhat forgive each other even if it's strain in the first weeks. But they work on it (because frienships too need work) and they come to it at least! And sure Hawkmoth landed some good hits during that time but they always win, good relationship or not. They're professionnals guys.
And maybe they become so close they're often taken for a couple. Except she gives him advices about Kagami and he's pushing her in Luka's arms. They're often saying they're more like siblings if ask. At some point Adrien is all but officially adopted by the Dupain-Cheng. (The Lahiffe tried but hey, a whole bakery. They can't hold a candle to that.) It was a happy few months despite the stress and the akumas and amoks. Even with Lila. (because the class isn't full of idiots, yes they find Lila great and yes her war with Marinette and Adrien is weird but they're friends either way. They just... don't go out at the same time with them. They take turns. They think of something to make it work. Because being friends with a whole class is cute but not realistic.)
And then there is a conversation who strucks odd to Adrien. Not even a conversation, just an off-hand comment. Barely a "make sure Duusu obey correctly next time". Just a few seconds. Adrien wouldn't have think of anything if he didn't exactly knew who was Duusu. Oups x2. He took it pretty bad. Poor Chat.
Their plan is simple - in theory (well, more or less, it's still Ladybug we speak of). A sort of "breaking & entering" with thief!Marinette and complice!Adrian. Martian Manhunter in invisibility mode scoots the hallways before the two and Hawkgirl is at the end of the formation, ready for all he can throw at them. Of course it comes crashing down. La faute à pas de chance like we say in French - they come during the Night of Hawkmoth (the one random night in the week where Hawkmoth akumatises someone from a nightmare - look, he needs to sleep to). So when Adrian lets Ladyfox enter, the illusions doesn't fool the high-security systems and he prepares. Time for Scarlet Moth to shine!
He doesn't go to the confrontation this coward - he knows they will kick his ass with their training and help of the Justice League. Nah, he creates several really destructive akumas. Y'know. Criminals and the such he carefully avoided before. Trumps cards! Mayura joins not long after. It's a massacre. They need help. Big help. Big like all the box. (And Not the Justice League because maybe Scarlet Moth isn't at his limit and they can't risk it.)
So they recruit. Rena Rouge, Carapace, Hornet (Queen Bee 2.0), Ryuko, Viperion, Bunnyx, and sometimes random people whom the kwamis sense they have a greater affinity than the other persons in their class. It's still bad. They die - a lot. All of them, except Bunnyx. The number of times she jumped from her Burrow to protect a fellow hero is... frightening. Sometimes she made them exchange their miraculous, to better suit their affinities and needs. It lasts three days.
They win! Somewhat. They're... not broken, almost, mourning their innocence and deeply hurt. But they're alive and Paris is standing and Hawkmoth and Mayura are not - yet - winners so. They take what they can.
Ladybug and Chat Noir don't take back the Miraculous from those who want to fight with them. Some people can't be heroes, can't have the mental for it. Others are desesperate to stop this. And others still are born for it - like them. Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter agreed to train them - they're not in their best mindset either (they didn't see so much destruction since their last world-ending event, it's not an everyday occurrence even for them) but they're adults, professionals. The kids need them so they help, of course. The Court is born, with new heroes and new names. Too many has been compromised during the battle to keep their old, and... they are not the same as before either. Dame Chance (Ladybug - Marinette), Cat Sìth (Cat - Adrian), Alya (Tiger - Tigris), Nino (Turtle - Shield), Chloé (Bee - Hornet), Kagami (Dragon - Kinryu), Luka (Snake - Ouroboros), Alix (Bunny - Bunnyx), Nathaniel (Fox - Renart), Allegra (Rooster - Mélodie), Bridgette (Ox - Niú), Claude (Horse - Kid Mime) and Alan (Dog - Gavroche).
From here, it's hell. Hawkmoth and Mayura send akumas and sentimonsters at a frenetic pace, sometimes switching with a Scarlet Moth Situation (not too otfen because it costs a great deal of energy but at least one on three days). Life in Paris is impossible, the city is lock down, the civilians need to stay home for their security and the heroes all but stop to live. They move in the QG Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter set up at the beginning and scheme. Identities don't matter (and that's an interesting conversation), sleeping, eating, all of that is pushed aside. They can't deal with distractions. That's also a interesting conversation. (Look, some of them don't lose their priorities. Sleep and food are not distractions. But go say that to Marinette, hah.) But nevertheless, their lifes are put on hold for their hunt (and training. the new heroes need it.) No need to say, they're on a fine line from madness.
It lasts two weeks (an eternity) before they attack. The battle is horrible - like all battles - and the Court is spread across all Paris to protect it from the akumas and sentimonsters. Against Hawkmoth and Mayura, it's only Dame Chance, Cat Sìth, Ouroboros, Kinryu and Martian Manhunter.
They win. Finally. And they sleep the month after that, because trauma (very much so), adrenaline and - just - their bodies shut down. Especially Marinette and Adrian.
-
Now, the Box is used as almost full capacity. Nino has the Turtle. So Fu is like 'cool, Marinette is ready!' Hence Marinette is Grand Guardian at 16 (joy. so much.) and as first decision names Adrian and Nino Guardians with her. Fu isn't too please. She doesn't give a flying fuck.
After Hawkmoth Alya, Nathaniel, Bridgette and Claude gave back their miraculous (they were heroes when needed but it isn't a life they want).
The next two years are a lot of juggling between training, learning, apprenticeship and heroing but nowhere near the intensity of their first two years.
Because the Court is still active. Even without Hawkmoth and Mayura (by the way Nooroo and Duusu are absolutely being pampered in the box), they remained active, help the police and all. Especially with the new risk of attacks from terrorists (they couldn't prevent the bombs, only help afterwards and that was... hard. Definitely more so than Hawkmoth because the Cure can't revive these victims. There wasn't any Miraculous involved - only plain, old, ugly humanity).
Btw the Justice League is on speed dial in case they need help for a magical/miraculous/world-ending event and because they're allies now but they're not part of it.
So yes they're heroes but they're teenagers too. Marinette and Luka date one year before they break up and remain friends (and maybe she has a little something with Kagami at one point. maybe), Adrien discovers preferring guys, Nino and Alya are still as in love as ever. They grow up, they graduate high school. Some stay in Paris, others go discover the world.
Alya made a name for herself with the Ladyblog and has a brilliant carrier ahead of her, already thinking of doing something similar to Lois Lane : war reporter, then specialising herself in heroics. She wants to be the best and knows damn well what she needs to do for that (Lila be damned). Chloé flourishes in New York, attempting business and politics degrees (nobody else see Chloe as Mayor of Gotham? I think it would suit her - a broken city needing her help and power. pretty much her). Luka makes soundtracks for movies and makes a name for himself ; in the same sector, Allegra joins the National Orchestra of France. Nino chooses a degree in the cinema, DJing in the weekend. Adrian works with Sabine and Tom, training to inherit, one day, the bakery - Gabriel crumbled with his father and he has no intention to ever build it back. Kagami trains for the Olympics. Alix goes for a degree in archeology - following her family and her miraculous. The comic series relating the aventures of the Court by Nathaniel and Mark is a huge success, assuring their own place in the world. Allan go to Japan for a degree in languages. Bridgette and Marinette goes to China to visit their family (they're totally cousins) and for their respective studies in communication and fashion.
Paris is heartbroken and very concerned when Dame Chance and Cat Sìth disapear but the Ladyblog remains active so they can explain that they're young, they want to learn to live in this world and they need to attends some Miraculous matters - but of course if Paris or the France or even the world need their help one day, they'd come back.
At 23, Marinette, Adrian, Nino and Alix take a gap year and go to Tibet. Because they're not civilians despite their somewhat inactivity and their Court is cool but they very much need to think about the future, the after them. So they need to rebuild the Order.
Oh. The League/The Untitled/a great bad. Coucou. (book 2?)

So, let’s talk about the Jersey Devil Video
All in all enjoyed the video even though it wasn’t very “eventful” per se, but that didn’t bother me this time around.
I really like how unique this video idea is, I hadn’t heard of this forest before this video and that’s always fun when I never hear about the place before watching the video (makes the lack of research seem less noticeable 😂) The famous places are fun too, don’t get me wrong, but I enjoy going into a video blind.
Paul, the man they talked to at the beginning, was fun! He had a lot of stories and he seems like a pretty chill guy, but I’m glad he didn’t go walking them around the forest or anything that would have kind of taken me out of the video.
No offense to the guides they’ve had in the past few videos but it was nice to watch the video knowing they weren’t being monitored.
Sam and Colby, you’re from Kansas do you not have chiggers there? Or did you just forget about them? They seemed so surprised to hear about chiggers lol
That being said, I’m going to reiterate for like the thousandth time that these boys suck at planning things.
For one thing, none of them were dressed appropriately for camping in the woods lol. You’d think Colby would learn after a few times but he just keeps repeat offending.
And they didn’t try their lighter beforehand??? Or bring any food with them???
Come on Mr. boy scout Brock you’re supposed to be in charge of these things.
Speaking of, when they made Colby get out with all the stuff I died laughing.
And when they were hiking back in the dark, oh my god, none of you thought to check when the sun was going down before you went?
God, Sam and Colby just need to hire me to set reminders on their phones for certain times/things lmao.
SNC: Her 13TH kid, that unlucky number-
Me: That’s a lot of fucking kids omg.
Dude, the forest was so echoey. Like Colby noticed it later but I noticed right away when they were yelling and stuff. Are forests usually echoey? I feel like they’re not...
When they did the ghost story thing I thought that was cool, it added some interesting content to lengthen out the video a bit and was a cool way to give us viewers some new information about the place. But, Sam, my guy, breaks? On a stagecoach?
Also, Colby Brock stop running away from the group while in a haunted forest dude, this is the second time-
And Colby befriends spiders now. That’s fun. Adding him to the long list of animal friends Colby had made over the videos.
Also, I like how that super dramatic clip of Seth running and stuff in the intro/trailer was because of a giant hornet lol. And, honestly, with SnC’s track record with bees that’s very on brand.
I’m not sure that the forest is very haunted, it might be, it’s possible, but I think it’s mostly “folk tales” and stories that make the forest renown.
Sam’s car door shutting was weird (cause I’m pretty sure the video shows him leaving it open), but I mean that could have been breeze or the car shifting in its place causing it to shut. In the dark looking for haunted evidence, though, I can see why you’d point that out as being weird.
Next video looks exciting, but ah...Amanda...again...yay.
In all honestly, though, from the trailer it looks like she takes a pretty good backseat in that video, so here’s hoping for that.
I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, I really am, but she makes it so hard.

Tumblr media
The dates: Oridan
Warnings: Mama Alicia is angry other than that none!
You woke up this morning feeling pumped after your date with Ellera. Knowing the siblings constantly tried to out do one another you had some higher expectations for Oridan. Sure he was a flirt but could he walk the walk or simply talk the talk. You’d have to find out and maybe today you’d dress a little nicer than your last date. Yet you had no idea what to wear, you didn’t know what Oridan planned for you. He and his sister wouldn’t tell you shit!! How were you supposed to guess if you were mountain climbing or going to the nice tavern. You weren’t. The element of surprise you were told whenever you asked, frankly you didn’t mind but you just wanted to know how to dress.
Deciding on a more formal article of clothing you fixed up your hair and wore a few jewels to maybe match Oridans aura. Maybe he might not show up? What if he got cold feet maybe his sister scared him off. Would you make a fool of yourself? Would he hate the alone time with you? So many thoughts now raced your mind. You weren’t as nervous as you were with Ellera but, you knew her better than you did the twins. You were scared they wouldn’t like you just by yourself.. what if you talked too much or you didn’t talk at all?? Would Oridan think you’d be a good partner for the rest of his life? Would you think he would be a good partner?
“Darling Oridan is here!! Please hurry and come downstairs “ You could hear your mother’s sweet voice travel around the house. He was here early is that good or bad??? Oh you didn’t know.
Scurrying down the steps you smiled softly when you saw him. Oridan stood tall and proud with some flowers in his hand his skin much darker than Elleras. For she was mossy and soft, he was bold and dark emerald green. Truly and simply handsome with his hair braided up and decked out in the finest of jewels, you felt appropriately dressed this time! Success.
“I picked these for you nearly died by some hornets.. but for you I’d happily go through hell and back if you so wished” A true words man your date hadn’t even begun and he was making you blush. Maybe this won’t be as bad as you thought.
“You’re too sweet.. thank you they are beautiful and I know any of you would do that for me.. did you get any boo boos you want kissed better” laughing a bit at your own comeback as you gently took the flowers from his hand and put them in a vase. His face grew a beautiful shade of dark green as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “Now where are we going ? “ maybe this time you’d get lucky and learn what was happening for your date!
Oridan smiled softly showing off his tusk bands as he took your hand. “We are going out to lunch than to a show later on today I hope that’s alright with you “ His confidence seemed to falter as he spoke almost as though he was worried that you wouldn’t like his plans.
“That sounds absolutely wonderful! I look forward to what kind of show you have in mind” He actually told you! You know what’s happening, at least now you can plan your actions and thoughts a little better now. “Which tavern are we going to?” There were two in your village and one closer to the edge of the village.
“Hmm oh we’re going to the Drunken Dragon it’s a little far but the food there is to die for and they have the best desserts and I figured you might not have been there yet. “ You held his hand tighter smiling wider as you felt all giddy. He was so kind this was certainly a side you hadn’t seen from him before yet.
“It does sound lovely my mouth is already watering at the thought!! I’ve always heard the food is really good, isn’t it run by a few of the fae I’ve heard they had the best cheesecake in the kingdom !! “ You laughed a bit as you mumbled on about how much you couldn’t wait to try their desserts. Oridan smiled softly listening to your enthusiastic voice talk about all sorts of different sweets. He’d have to keep that you have a sweet tooth in mind, oh how he could listen to you speak for hours and never grow tired of listening.
“Good I’m glad you’re just as excited as I am. Frankly I was worried this wouldn’t go all that well after Ellera bragged so much. I’m glad my feet didn’t grow cold” You held his hand tighter knowing how he felt. Nodding and humming in agreement with his words you were glad he came though. You’re really enjoying your time together.
“Here I know a little shortcut to get there quicker, do you trust me ?”
“Hmm well seeing of how you were such a brave boy with those hornets to get me such lovely flowers.. I trust you. “ Oridan smiled and picked you up carefully and held you close. He’s probably feeling a little jealous that Ellera had gotten to carry you but, you don’t mind it’s nice being carried. Watching as the trees flew past your face Oridan ran almost full speed and barely broke a sweat it amazed you at how he was so nimble and graceful. “So how short is this short cut?”
Laughing a bit breathlessly Oridan smirked as he set you down. “Short. We’re here “ you stated up at him in amazement completely in awe at his speed.
“Wow.. that really was short and you barely.. broke a sweat how’d you do that ??? “ Oridan laughed and gently wrapped his arm around your waist as he walked you to the doors of the tavern opening the door and letting you in first.
“I’ve got stamina honey bee” He said with a wink leaving you a blushing mess as you hid your face in your hands for a moment. Composing yourself you smacked his arm though you’re sure it felt nothing more than a fly landing on him.
“We are in public you can’t make remarks like that!! Oridan!” Staining up at him bright red you felt everyone’s eyes on you. He only laughed a bit as he ruffled your hair.
“Relax no one here pays attention to couples except for Mama Alicia she keeps the kids all in check for such a small woman she has so much anger, it’s terrifying. “ Shaking his head Oridan lead you to a table more in the back and farther away from the more rowdy customers. It was a nice tavern perfect for eating in the middle of the day or drinking the night away. Mama Alicia did a good job.
“What can I get for you two huns?” A small woman with curly bright orange hair waddled her way over to your table. She seemed so sweet with her rosy cheeks and small accent.
“I’ll have- “ Oridan tried to order first giving you some more time to decide on what you wanted. Everything seemed so good you couldn’t decide between the Thief’s stew or the adventurers breakfast! They both had everything you liked plus a side of fruit of your choice!!
“Manners boy!! Dates first I thought I taught you better Oridan. You should most certainly know that by now. Always fawnin over them and treatin them like royalty when you serve them yet now with one of em in front of ya you forget everything I taught you !! Disgrace a shame. “ smacking Oridan with mighty force Mama Alicia made her point quite clear. Turning back to you a sweet smile on her face as if she hadn’t tried to murder your date with a small booklet. “Now what can I get for you hun. “
“Oh I can’t pick between these two.. do you think you can help me? “ She had a wider smile as she looked at your choices. You’d be a perfect fit for Oridan in her mind you’d keep him in check and on the right path.
“Of course, they both have great qualities but if you’re going out again after this I suggest the breakfast over the stew that will keep you full for days and if you want dessert after. “ Making your choice you kept with the breakfast while Oridan got the knights feast. Waddling away Mama Alicia got to your orders and brought you some freshly made berry juice.
“I told you. Little woman lotta rage. Scary thing she is. “ Laughing a little you couldn’t help but check his arm for any bruises you swore that woman could’ve taken his arm off if she wanted to. “I’m fine honey bee but I do feel all flattered you’re worried for me. “ smirking a bit to hide his nerves as you checked his arm. You felt his skin grow warm under your touch and it was nice.
“So you work here? I thought you would’ve been off working as a blacksmith with how you carved that blade.” Satisfied with your check of his arm you pulled away and glanced up at his face. Admiring his chocolate brown eyes for maybe a little too long than you intended.
“Hmm oh I do work as a blacksmith just up in the strong hold with my uncle down here I work to gain a few extra coin to treat myself or to treat someone else.. I haven’t had the chance to do the second until now and I must say it’s very nice I’d be happy to treat you again.. “ Your face went red as you shook your head, scarfing down your drink trying not to say something that could get you far more embarrassed. Yet you wanted to, you hadn’t felt confident in saying things on your mind before. Nows as good a time as any.
“Hmm picking up an extra job for little old me you’re too kind and maybe I like being treated by you.. “ You added your own little wink and smirk mimicking Oridans own actions. You couldn’t hold your laughter in Oridan nearly spit his drink out his nose! He wasn’t ready for you to make such a comeback!
“Honey bee now where did that come from ? I’m not complaining but wow I think I’m rubbing off on you “ you only laughed more as he tried to recover, suddenly realizing how loud you were you quickly quieted yourself down. Oridan loved your laugh it was like sweet music to his ears he loved hearing you laugh so hard you’d snort. Staring at you with such love in his eyes he truly hoped you chose him.
“Oh foods here.. wow that’s a lot of food” Mama Alicia smiled as she placed down your plates of food then waddling over to Oridan and giving him his plates. “Thank you so much Mama Alicia!” You couldn’t wait to dig in. It smelt so good and your mouth was watering.
“Enjoy huns “ she refilled your drinks and left you be. You could be polite and not eat your weight right now in front of your date but, you were with an orc the last thing he’d do is judge you for how and what you ate.
“Hey can you take these? I don’t really like them.” You handed over some vegetables you weren’t really fond of and his face seemed to light up that you were sharing your food with him. Nodding his head he easily scarfed them down. Impressed at watching you devour your own food.
“Where’d you fit all that you have the stomach of an orc honey bee. “ laughing softly as he stole some of your food which got him a smack to his hand and a mighty glare. Laughing more Oridan pulled out his coin sack and left a handful down on the tables edge when you were both done.
“I have a large appetite thank you very much. How’d you know.. right you work here you must have everything memorized strange man” Getting up from your seat you smiled as you waited for him. Oridan smiled more as he wrapped an arm around your waist leading you out of the tavern then it struck him you missed your show time.
“Oh I’m so sorry I got so caught up I completely forgot what time we were supposed to be there “ By this point you had completely forgotten about the show having too much fun with Oridan.
“Hey hey it’s okay!! I had fun anyways I like spending time with you besides there’s always another time. I suppose we should start heading home it looks like a storms coming soon. “ Nodding his head a bit relieved you weren’t upset for missing the show Oridan lead you home parting ways with a soft kiss to your cheek. Once he left you rushed to your room all giddy flopping on your bed and kicking your feet. Your expectations for Killian were set high.
You couldn’t wait for tomorrow.

Retiring from Miraculous
Hello everyone, so if you all saw my recent post or if you saw my post on my main blog, I announced that I will be officially retiring from the Miraculous fandom as well as the show for good.
Tumblr media
I'm really sorry to those who followed me and only liked me for Miraculous content, but after hearing about how the recent episodes of Miraculous have been (*coughDerisioncough*), I don't see the show improving or getting better anytime soon nor do I see myself enjoying it the more it continues. Especially with how the recent season has been nothing but: Multiple retcons, terrible character development, scenes cut from the final version for the most stupidest reasons ever and to make the show have bigger plot holes than ever, inconsistent writing, and lackluster plots, I really don't see myself following through with it anymore.
Tumblr media
However,
I won't be officially retiring at the moment!
Tumblr media
Yep, even though I do plan on retiring from Miraculous, I won't do it for a long time for these 5 reasons:
I wanna rewatch the entire series until I start on S5 since I'm waiting for the whole season to drop at once. I mainly wanna see what still holds up and what doesn't after these 8 and a half years the show has run for. (And I think we can all agree which ones didn't age the best)
I mainly wanna watch S5 to see if I can use it as a rewrite for some of my AUs; mainly The Lost Miraculous. I know this one might be tricky to do since from what I heard, S5 did retcon a lot of characters and plots, so I'm not entirely sure if I can rewrite the whole season, but I do plan to add a few new elements to my rewrite if I ever do.
Speaking of AUs, that's another reason why I won't retire immediately from the show: I'm still hoping to use it as a source of inspiration for my AUs as I still wish to write them. Mainly The Queen Bee and the Vesperia, The Lost Miraculous, The Undercover Tales of Rena Furtive and Invisible Hornet, The Bee Sisters Duo!, Bug and Wasp Game, A Fox and Her Club, and more!
I'm incredibly excited for the Awakening movie coming out this July, and I do hope that it will at least be one last hope for the show to get better. If not, then I guess we can call that one the real canon while ignoring the show itself, LOL.
I still wanna post some of my views on Chloe and Zoe themselves.
All in all, while I won't necessarily retire from the show permanently (as of now), I will be saying goodbye to it as time goes by because it's about time I move on and start looking through other shows that have similar Magical Girl themes.
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, I made a poll on my main blog asking people what should be the next Magical Girl show I should try while I wait to end my time with Miraculous, and when I cut ties with it. If you wish to vote, please click right here.
Alrighty, that's all I have to say for now. Please be on the lookout for any upcoming stories from me and please remember to follow my 3 other blogs:
@muggle-born-princess (Main Blog)
@princessgemsart (Art Blog)
@pens-and-gems (Writing Blog)
Have a fantastic Sunday everyone or whatever day it is in your region LOL
BUZZ ON!
