Pokemon Blur - Prologue : The Fool
In the lively city of Aspertia, there was a boy that dreamt of being a hero.
Divine dragons of Truth and Ideals, heed the prayers of a foolish heart.
Before we embark on this dangerous quest, shower us with your grace so that we may have a safe journey.
...
The coming of spring is where many dreams would blossom alongside the flowers- following a harsh winter, the people of Flocessy wasted no time in tending to their lands and ranches, eager to see what the rest of the year will bring.
"February was colder than other years," Muses the town mayor. "I hear it was as cold as Sinnoh on a hot day."
From behind her teacup, a blonde laughs.
"Yes! That's what I've been telling Professor Juniper! We're experiencing temperatures never before seen in Unova- I wonder why that is?"
"It's easy to chalk it up to the times, little lass-"
He leans over to refill her teacup.
"-but the youth of today isn't gonna take that for an answer."
"And why would we? If something's up, we ought to be the ones to figure out why; not when you old folks are sitting about."
The blonde's companion, a girl with a massive ponytail, speaks from the window- she does not join the other two in their warm conversation, content with merely listening and occasionally quipping in every now and then.
"You have a point there,"
The mayor laughs.
"Ah, it's good to see you haven't lost your spark, Hilda. Still as abrasive as ever- it's a shame you've taken a break from the subway, Emmet thinks you're a wildcard."
Hilda rolls her eyes- but her companion smiles even brighter.
"Oh, she's been a delight to have around! I make sure she gets plenty of training done even while she's acting as my bodyguard in the field,"
"Bianca,"
"Sorry, sorry- that's for another time!"
Bianca giggles, setting down her teacup and tapping her fingers against the book on her lap.
"It's really nice to catch up with you, Mr. Alder. It's been, um, two years?"
"Two years."
Though the hue of the leaves remain the same, the winds have changed- his guests remain as they have, but the light in their eyes are different.
And speaking of guests.
"Where's your other friend? He was here a few minutes ago, wasn't he?"
"He went out for some fresh air," Hilda replies. "He's taking his Pokemon for a walk."
"The ranch outside of town is lovely- he told me he spent a good quarter of last year's spring season over there."
Alder's mouth makes an "o" shape as he recalls.
"He did, he did- how has he been, by the way?"
For all that she's chatted about today, Bianca finds herself unsure of what to say.
Finally, she picks a word.
"Different-"
And as predicted, Hilda immediately adds "-but better than before."
That's all Alder could ask for- and it was far better news than what he was expecting.
"Okay, that's good. I admit, I wasn't sure what they were thinking when they told me they wanted him in this position, but-"
He glances at the framed picture on the wall- one of him with a group of four youths, wide-eyed and brimming with potential.
"Perhaps you kids can dream of things us grown-ups can't."
He himself hadn't lost the will to dream- but with the reality before him, he had to set aside certain expectations.
That's what it meant to be the Pokemon Champion after all.
An air of melancholy hovers over them as the conversation takes a more somber route- Bianca looks down at her teacup, smile still present, but stiffer than what it usually was.
And Hilda, looking outside the window, speaks up again.
"Guess we're gonna lose that ability soon in a couple of years, huh, Beebs?"
"Oh, hopefully not, Hilly- not with the research I've been doing."
Alder spots an opportunity to talk about something else- this quiet, tense atmosphere was something he didn't want in his house after all.
"Oh? Working hard with Fennel too?"
"You bet! Say, do you wanna know about the effects of Dream Mist- beyond what we know now?"
As the conversation picks up again, Hilda sighs, back leaned against the wall as she gazes out into the blue sky.
They had a few more hours to kill before they were expected to head to Aspertia- and it wasn't like she hated hearing Bianca's voice anyway.
...
"I'm all set, mom!"
She hears the excited footsteps clamoring downstairs, the clicking of plastic and jingling of bells- a collection of keychains.
She exits from her chores in the bathroom, removing her rubber gloves- and is horrified to see the atrocity standing before her.
"Bye bye! I'll make sure to give you a call!"
"Now, wait just a minute!"
She grabs him by the scruff of his jacket, just as he's about to pass by her- and stares incredulously.
In the home of Marianne Blake, things were in an uproar- the day had finally arrived, when her only son would receive a Pokemon of his own from an esteemed professor.
Or at least, the professor's assistant- she was quite a busy woman, she could not be blamed.
Such should be a cause for celebration- but here she was, arguing with her child before he even stepped foot outside.
"Anak, you can't be serious," Marianne takes a good look at him, head to toe.
"Why? What's wrong with it?"
"What- anak,"
She rubs her temples, sighing deeply.
"What even are you wearing? There's a spare backpack for you to use, a much more protective cap- and is that a rash guard you're wearing under your clothes?!"
"I might want to take a dip! You never know!"
"Nathaniel, you better not be leaving the house like that!"
Through the argument, the small boy grinned mischievously at his mother's exasperation, his little cat-smile never leaving his face.
"Crazy, because that's exactly what I'm going to do!"
"Nathaniel!"
"Mamaaaa, who cares what I wear out there? This classifies as acceptable travel gear, you know!"
"Just because it's acceptable- go change into something else before you're late!"
Now came his whine- and his Lillipup eyes.
"You're making me run late here! What will Ms. Alabaster say? That I kept my future partner waiting because I was busy coordinating my outfit?"
She opens her mouth to argue- but groans.
"Ugh, fine, fine. Do whatever you like. I suppose if you think that's fit for travel-"
She looks down at the worn pair of crocs.
"-but at the very least, take these."
Her son tilts his head like a confused dog, wondering what else she has to give besides an additional scolding- but to his surprise, she digs out a box from underneath the staircase.
"I was saving this for your birthday, but since your journey is starting today, you might as well make use of it now."
Opening the box, she reveals a pair of red running shoes, ankle-length- the same ones she knew her son had been eyeing.
"Happy early birthday, Nathaniel- now put these on and go look for Ms. Alabaster."
"Mamaaaaa, thank you!"
He wasted no time settling into his shoes, tapping them against the floor as he felt himself almost standing in the air.
They were a perfect fit.
"Now, remember what I taught you-"
"Yeah, yeah! I get it!"
He opens the screen door with a bang- and promptly terrifies his family's pet Delcatty and her Skitty, awakening them from their slumber.
"Be wise with money, avoid shady characters- and have fun!"
"And come home when you're lost," She reminds him. "If you can't find your way forward-"
"Then I'll retrace my steps back from square one!"
Looking up at the big blue sky, he felt the first page of his journey being written for historians to see.
"Just my style!"
Sprinting out of his house with a loud cheer, Marianne leans against the doorframe with a look of worry- one that quickly melts once she realizes who exactly she is being fussy over.
Still.
From the distance, she hears him yelling.
"Look out, world! Nate's gonna take you by surprise!"
"Dragons,"
She shakes her head.
"Please make sure he doesn't get himself in trouble."
...
The bell of Floccesy Town tolls, it's chimes echoing throughout the area.
The Mareep bleat at the sound, and nearby Riolu peer front underneath the tall grass.
From within a hidden grotto, a figure wrapped in a gray cardigan prays in the shade of the trees-
And a gust of wind overtakes them, as the nests of Pidove and Tranquil resting on the branches soar to the skies.
They cover their face, steadying their ground,
And the ribbon wrapped around their collar unravels, carried by the wind.

Help Please! Commissions! Art for Doodles! Drive to Immediately Stabilize!
So I have a little under 80 days as of this writing to make about $8,000.00 - $10,000 USD
I have been struggling without work. Unpayed bills from the past few months have piled up. I've lost so much already, and I'm at risk of losing even more. On top of that, I need to move halfway across the country by the end of October, since the family I'm staying with is moving out of the country. I can't really follow them with my financial situation.
This escalation happened about a week after I had finally reached a point where I'm able to complete commissions and take in new ones. So now I have additional plans and schedules and stuff that need to be done... Additional money needs to be made, and fast, before I can settle into a more sensible work flow.
So... I'm doing everything. EVERYTHING! Whatever I can do! It's crunch time x1000!
The Quick Summary:
I have a Carrd now! There, you can find links to all my socials, Patreon, Ko-fi, GoFundMe, the form for requesting Commissions or Doodles-For-Donations and Monthly Patreon Doodles, and more! Check it out: https://juni-p.carrd.co/
My Patreon has been updated and makes sense finally! Monthly Doodles can be requested from the form at the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for each monthly Patreon contribution!
You can request Doodles-For-Donations on that same form if you're donated anywhere! Ko-fi, Patreon, wherever! Check out the bottom of the Commissions page on my Carrd for info and a link to the form!
Commissions are open for requests right now! I'll start taking new ones very soon, so get your requests in! Look for the form link on the bottom of my Carrd's Commissions page!
My GoFundMe is still available, and has been updated with info about the move and such. You can read that for more info about it all and donate if you're feeling generous <3 (Also, this still counts for Doodles-for-Donations, too, if you want!)
Soon I'll have a store! With stickers and stuff! Maybe even shirts! I'll send out notifications when there's merch and stuff up, and the links will be up on my Carrd too!
Lots more specifics below, so keep reading! And thank you in advance for any help!
MILESTONES:
I have an income tracker on the Carrd, under News. When I hit a milestone, I'll be doing something special! ...though I haven't figured out what the special thing is just yet! Pls let me know if you have ideas. I wanna make it nice b/c TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYthankyou~
Tumblr media
PATREON INCENTIVES!
All Patreon backers now get a Doodle per month! Details and request form are on the Carrd! It's the same form as Commissions, so just make sure you pick the "Patreon" option, okay? I'm still thinking of what other incentives I can put on there. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I really appreciate y'all so much~
KOFI and Donation Doodles!
Like the Patreon doodles, but for one-time donations and things like that I'll be doing these whenever I'm on stream, too, so come say hi! Same request form! It's all on the Carrd!
Commission Requests are open!
I'll be taking new ones soon, once I get more of my backlog done, so if you want a commission, get your requests in! Pricing and details all on the Carrd! I'm working hard <3 <3
Tumblr media
Also I'm doing Animations now, too! And YCH stuff soon! I'm excited about it!!! :D :D :D Pic related to both <3 (Thank you X!!!)
Tumblr media
GoFundMe
My GoFundMe's been updated to explain my situation some, and to help give me some relief from the amount of work I now have to do in such a short time. Shares, reblogs, etc, are just as appreciated as the donations. Thank you <3
I'm also opening a RedBubble with stickers and prints and stuff!
I don't know what to put there yet, but I already have the storefront and such. More to come soon, of course <3 It's empty at the time of posting, but there'll be stuff there soon!
Finishing commissions comes first, of course~
If you read all of that, TY
I am going through the climax of this whole ordeal I've been in for the past few years and/or most of my life Honestly, the uncertainty hitting such a high is scary, but I'm gonna do my best ( TuT)9 My DMs on Discord are always open if you have any thoughts or questions, okay? TY, everyone, for sticking with me through it all <3

Tumblr media
so i originally was thinking to myself "conceal don't feel" about my feelings about this year and basically gushing about all of y'all but everyone has been doing it and look, look, i'm trying to be better about not coming off as an aloof person when i'm really the sort of person who thrives on at least little tiny hellos from people who i know like me. despite being as old as i am i'm secretly always that shy 12 year old who has her people and wants more people but sucks at talking, alright?
anyway! none of that is the point. the point is that i haven't been in fandom for about 5ish at least years? like don't get me wrong, read fic, watched shows but me writing fics and interacting? good heavens no. and i think the last time i wrote fic was 2011 ( ironically also an rpf-ish fandom, there's something to be said about that maybe ) and so when i went into elvis i wasn't expecting much. but then i watched it and like- i had been a causal fan of elvis before- my parents were both born in the 50s so they're just about that interesting age to where my mom wished she could have been elvis's girl ( her older sisters too so clearly it's genetically a thing on my mom's side haha ) and my dad thought he was cool. point being i always knew of him and he was some at least tiny part of my life and that's part of the reason i wanted to go see the film. plus i honestly wanted to se ehow plastic looking they made austin look because baby those posters did him no justice.
Tumblr media
and then i fell head over heels. watched it 5? times in theaters maybe 6, once with my mom who fell head over heels for austin butler which was not something i had on my 2022 bingo card and yet! and realized that oh heavens the fandom was mostly on tumblr let's boot up the old account and make a side blog and write a fix it fic ( that i am trash and still haven't finished ) and then @floralcyanide made their discord and eventually let me join and the rest was history?
not going into a lot of detail but i really cannot overstate how much this fandom and how genuinely sweet it is came to me at the right time. i've been missing having a solid and consistent creative outlet since i got married but especially since i had my daughter. and then in comes the elvis movie and austin butler and elvis in general and lord help me it's been a whirlwind. filled with stuff i'd never write and just a lot of fun times.
i wanna say thank you to all my favorite people who i either read your stuff or you read mine or i drool over your gif work or something else seeing y'all in my notifs always brightens my day just a little.
@superbatson @powerofelvis @headfullofpresley @venus-haze @cryingabtab @infatuatedharleys @areacodefan @star-shard @purejasmine @burninlovebutlerr @pearlparty @troubleinapinksuit @imperialmarchingthroughthegalaxy @karamelcoveredolicity @foreverdolly @powerofelvis @fantuhsise @flwrs4aust @she-is-juniper @elvisstyles @butlerstyles @missmaywemeetagain @bisexualwvtson @carnevol @mamaspresley @sassy-ahsoka-tano @butler-on-beale-street @dreamersparacosm @lindszeppelin @pennyroyalcreep, @slowsweetlove @blainesebastian and @ anyone else who regularly likes my stuff or engages with me i see y'all and i adore y'all. if i missed y'all don't take it personally i'm so tired today it's a wonder i remembered my own name.
and to my queens of graceland @aconflagrationofmyown @ab4eva and @butlersxbirdy y'all already know my love and to my other daily my life would not complete if i didn't say hello to y'all @blurredcolour, @eliseinmemphis and @bcofl0ve i love you guys. and @succsessions don't think i'll ever forget that one time you messaged me out of the blue when i was so stressed and wrote Some Tags ( tm ).
i'm gonna make it my mission to get to know some of y'all more in 2023 because truly i love this fandom so much and if it wasn't for this creative outlet appearing out of thin air, i think i'd been in a bit of a rougher spot than i am today and really i wanna just talk and interact more. and i promise y'all i don't bite if you're scared to talk to me, i'm an actual puppy, ask anyone who talks to me for longer than two minutes.
but basically happy new year y'all hoping all of our 2023s are fantastic and i love everyone in this bar so much. does that meme date me, i feel like it does.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
didn’t wanna spam yall w/ all my random thoughts/old mini hcs, so i thought i’d just compile them all in one post. under the cut, ofc, just bc it ended up a lil bit lengthy.
* brian's first introduction to the town wasn’t. the greatest one. tl;dr, he arrived on a rainy friday afternoon, and besides, ofc, meeting w/ robin and lewis, he spent most of his day on his farm, just getting everything set up. didn’t rlly talk 2 anyone, etc etc. that is, until like. eight/nine pm-ish, where he swung by the saloon (lewis invited him), but, uh. maybe, busting in dripping wet from the storm now roaring away outside, esp considering his generally 'eerie' appearance + resting deadpan expression, was maybe not his best move. * ur random/mini hc of the day is: when brian isn’t doing Farm Stuff™ or Nerd Stuff™, he’ll often be found helping evelyn with the community gardens throughout town! to add to this, brian also helps her w/ the arrangements + decorations for the flower dance, as well! * vincent and jas are like, whole-heartedly convinced brian is some sort of vampire, due to stuff like him being an night-owl, having strangely pointed teeth, and always wearing big floppy sunhats during the day, etc etc. kid logic, y’know? he's found them sneaking around the farm looking for more 'clues' more then once, but. tbh, brian doesn't rlly mind. he even sorta plays along sometimes, lets 'em have their fun, basically. plus they're not… fully wrong, i guess! (different type of unhuman, but unhuman nonetheless.) * when it comes down to it, brian is. def more of a pacifist? when exploring the mines for example, he'll always try and take a more stealthy route. over the years hes learnt how to ~fade into the background~ , and he's not afraid to use that to his advantage! which means skirting around encounters with monsters almost entirely. (plus being half-monster helps, takes em longer to 'aggro', y’know?) * brian. rlly likes cross-stitch, it’s s/t he learned from his grandmother around 12-14-ish. ofc, he finds it v relaxing, and you'll come across a lot finished + unfinished pieces, just. scattered around his desk and wall @ his bedroom. lots of flowers and nature-y things. * also uh, something silly based off brian’s actual save file: he has a cat named grains, she looks like this! brian would die 4 her, thanks 4 coming 2 my tedtalk. * brian also ends up w/ a little pink junimo friend in his care at some point! brian found them injured while out collecting stuff out @ cindersap forest, and ofc, took them in. they’d gotten separated from the others when the spirits decided to take over in the town’s abandoned community center. it's not a permeant situation, they'll go back to their friends someday, but until they heal up, them and brian keep eachother company, y’know? (their name is juniper.) * in-game, i have a coop w/ some bunnies, and. they all have names like ‘sunflower’, ‘dandelion’, ‘rose’, w/e, but theres one (1) named ‘dreadlord xarth’ as a ref 2 the solarion chronicles thing from seb’s six heart event, and i just want u all to know how incredibly ic that is. * random thought, but. literally any conversation brian has w/ marlon is just. this

Just an unnecessarily long post about dog gear I want- scroll by if you don’t want my ramble
So in feb I’m gonna have a treat yo self month because it be my birthday, and I may have a lil extra spending money from working a bunch of overtime during Christmas (I am knackered but I needed the cash and work needed my assistance)
And seeing as no-one likes buying me dog gear as Christmas/birthday gifts I’m gonna buy myself these nice things.
I wanna get Juno a lovely leather collar, nefjas person sent me a link to a German company who make elk leather collars in a martingale style??? Absolute perfection. I’ve been a sucker for martingales for a couple of years now and am reluctant to turn back.
Tumblr media
What a delectable collar. So chic. So stylish. Fancy collar for my non-fancy mutt to strut about the town with (no flooded field walks for that collar)
Gonna pair it with a brand new cute dog tag because Juno currently wears Hana’s old one. I think after a year she’s earned her own tag, don’t you think?
Tumblr media
Lookit!!! So cute!! It’s not Juniper tree but it’s close enough (don’t tell my partner, the tree surgeon, I said that). Would look so good with the collar.
And since my mendota lead is looking real ropey (haha, because it’s a rope?) I’m gonna treat myself to a new one. It’s served me so well but I did not look after it. Now it smells and is fraying and the leather by the clasp is loose. It just looks a mess. Love my mendota lead, don’t love that I’ve destroyed it. I did dabble with the idea of an adjustable lead but they’re all flat and I’m sorry but round leads are superior. I’m not ready to go back to flat. Mendota so comfy, mendota so röund, medota have goldish clasp to match tag and collar ring.
But do I stop the spending there?? I’ve been gagging for a ruffwear backpack but my lord £100 for a backpack??? I know it’s quality, built to last, and most importantly designed to minimise injury but it’s a rather frivolous spend.
My reasoning is that added weight to some walks may help reduce some pulling, she’s so much better but still gets excitable. It can be useful if we wanna go on longer hikes once my partner and I have time to do some weekends away. Carrying water etc. I really want to do a camping getaway at some point and having her carry her own food is adorable and practical. But also it could be useful on days where we want or need to be a bit lazier. Dog needs exercising but we’re burned out/ill? Cool, mile and a half sniffy walk with lightly packed backpack. If I wanna tire her out because we have plans and need her nice and calm? Boom, backpack walk.
Also, backpack cute. Backpack could have patches. Backpack bring joy to look at. Backpack make chronically ill days much easier.
Backpack.
Oh there’s also an adorable martingale collar on Etsy that I want. An unnecessary purchase but I so rarely find a martingale I really really like (I’m picky okay)
But there are things that I could spend my money on that is (arguably) needed more. Waterproof longline, new treat pouch, new walking boots because mine are leaky, dog toys that serve a purpose more than “it squeaks and can be thrown”. I also need a haircut and new prescription glasses but it’s more fulfilling to spend money on the dog.
GAH! Maybe I’ll win the lottery on Friday and I can buy it all. But until then I gotta budget and make informed purchases.
Anyway I just wanted to rant to the void because I usually do all this in my head but I wanna get more active on tumblr and sometimes airing these thoughts helps make decisions. And if you suddenly see me posting Juno in 4k completely decked out in new gear in the mountains? I’ve won the lottery, quit work to travel with dog that has a whole new wardrobe, captured on a top of the line point and shoot 😂

Personally what’s your favourite trolls and least favourite? (Reasons why would also be really appreciated)
Personally I like Elwurd and Lynera the best for reasons that are definitely not related to projection. Least favorite is hard for me to pin down because I've spent so much time thinking about these folks and trying to expand on areas where they're less developed. I guess Vikare because he's pretty one-note. -Jonaya, director/lead writer
my hs og fave trolls have always been the meteor ones bc im tragically unoriginal but i don't have strong preferences for friendsim (wait i forgot i do love chixie) -Sollay, artist
Love me some clowns, I've always had an appreciation for unhinged characters, but my absolute favorites are Chahut and Karako. Least favorite… I dunno, there aren't really any that I dislike in FS? In Homestuck in general I took personal issue with the Zahhaks because this is not how I want Sagittarius to be represented WHY -Hal Elsen, voice actor
I like Elwurd, Daraya, Lanque, Mallek, Tagora, Polypa, and Skylla. I'm gay. Not a huge fan of Zebruh, but damn do I love voicing him, and also not a giant fan of like. Fozzer, idk why. I'm a bad VA so I haven't played the game yet. -CL, voice actor
If we're gonna go with Friendsim- Elwurd, Chixie, and Tyzias all appeal to my typical Character Likes. Chahut also appeals, but I feel Incredibly Conflicted About It because of my stance on purple characters in general also Polypa is my Secret Homegirl Now because I can't help but develop attachments to characters I've voiced X,D Tagora's smug aura mocks me and I don't care for it -Juniper, voice actor
As a cancellable offense i will still admit Zebruh still holds my thoughts on a gorilla grip because his route is absolutely hilarious despite his yikes. But Galekh is my baby boy baby and skylla is the queen i would give everything she ask me to. for fs2. Marsti because how can you not? i mean gestures then dies of gay. -Mikky, artist
specifically referring to their canon appearances and not fs2, our favorite is probably Chahut? She's got a lot going on, we like her design and her relationship with Amisia is very cute And uh - We… Don't really care for any of the ceruleans tbh (Wait, append that: mallek is cool he can stay - The rest of the ceruleans we dont care for)
As for fs2… Control in volume 11 is great we wish we could take credit for her The murder victim in volume 1 always felt kinda flat to us, like they're more of a plot point than an actual troll so they're our least favorite -Lorelei, writer
Favorite - i like mostly any trolls but also… tirona. Shes a lik freak. Least favorite - tirona. She is like scrappy doo of the homestuck universe. I want to throw here baby soft spot head towards a wall -Fable, artist
i'm not well versed in the ~lore~ but i like diemen's character lol no particular reason -Seth, voice actor
Favorites: all the members of Daraya's Punk Band (especially tyzias, no need to explain, I am her canon voice), plus tagora (he's the honorary 5th member) Least favorites: Vikare. He bores me. -Anna, writer/composer
Eridan has always been my personal favorite. I'd say my least favorite would be Karkat--I get he's set to be redeemed but the team did nothing with him except make him whiny and force vriska into leading everyone -Valentine, voice actor
hmm, well for favs theres Ardata, then Daraya and also Chixie or Elwurd. Partial to Chahut and Cirava bc they make me go :DD Least faves: Tirona and Zebede, just not my type of characters :/ -DDP, artist
amisia because he's pretty chill -The Dandy Man, voice actor
My favourites are xefros (because he's a good boy doing his very best) and cirava (because they're a fucking gremlin) -Alex, voice actor
hmmm we wanna say favorite hiveswap troll are either folykl or mallek, but really it's more of a rotating cast and whoever we thought about last is our fave. least favorite has to be zebede on the basis that we forgot he even existed. -Breeoche, artist
I will have to say Marvus is certainly my favorite ! I love his design but also his whole presence and attitude in his volume.
A least fav is harder because there is a number of trolls I don't "like" but they are such good characters that I still enjoy them a lot ! So I'll have to go with zebruh even if he is very entertaining as a bad guy xD -Herk, artist
Chiming in to say chixie is probably my favorite troll cause her struggles are relatable. Second place goes to Marvus cause he's pretty chill all things considered.
Least favorite is zebruh for because he's like THAT -Rainy, composer
Marvus! And I don’t have a least favorite cause I only really know the purple bloods and THEY ARE MY DARLINGS ALL OF them -Miranda, writer
I think Wanshi and Nepeta are my favorites for Cat Reasons, but also because I was a strange little catgirl before I was a boy and I appreciates them a lot. Zebruh seems like the obvious choice to dislike, but Ardata legit scares me and I am unsettled by ticks and leeches -Bucky, writer
I think this will be stupidly obvious but my favourite trolls are Terezi Stelsa and Tirona, basically just the ones I usually voice haha Terezi because I voice her and basically am her at this point honestly, and the other two are silly and dramatic and I love voicing them I also love Nepeta, Karkat, Aradia, and Tyzias Gamzee is my least favourite ever I hate him -Tex, voice actor

i'm not currently comfortable doing any one-on-one hypnoplay online. please do not push. if i'm interested, i will initiate.
i may block anyone, for any reason, at any time. i have several c-ptsd triggers that may seem completely random out of context. i am in the process of breaking conditioning by an abuser. i cannot risk those triggers sending me back into that headspace. (i also will not disclose said triggers, in the case that someone tries to use them.)
please don't call me doll, or any variant of the word. 'babydoll' and 'dollface' are the only exceptions. the reason for this is very personal and i do not want to share. if you break this rule, it is an instant block. no second warnings.
if i say i'm uncomfortable with something, or i use any of these emojis: 🟡🟠🔴🛑, stop doing it. you can ask for clarification, but don't argue.
lastly, just overall be respectful. if you're a douche, i'll block. if you're an anon douche, i'll turn off anon. and nothing you say or do will be worse than what i've already survived with a smile on my face, so don't even bother trying! 😊

"okay, do you think i should grow out my hair or cut it back into a bob? because right now, it's at this ambiguous length, and i have no clue what to do with it." letting out a huff, yoona blew away some strands of hair that were covering her sight before brushing her hand through it. she hadn't touched her hair since estella's promotions have ended, and she's gotten no word on what to do with it, so it was at free reign at the moment. cutting it back into a bob would solve some of her problems, but she also wanted to grow it out because there's so much more she could do with longer hair. "i'm just super torn. i need a second opinion!" she exclaimed before looking at the person across from her with eyes of desperation. frankly, she probably shouldn't be doing anything to her hair considering she doesn't know what infinite will do with it, but she just wanted to hear the thoughts of someone else.
Tumblr media
        her eyebrow shot up as she listened to her friend. her eyes vigorously scanned yoona's face. "if i'm being honest," a wide grin formed on her face. "i'm probably not much help since i think you're gonna look good no matter what." juniper laughed. juniper took pride in saying she was only friends with hot people and yoona perfectly proved her point.
        "on a serious note, i think you should grow it out. if you're worried about it being annoying, you can always just cut it off again." juniper said with a nod. "plus you can do so much more with long hair. i love your short hair, i think i might just wanna see you in space buns. you'd rock that look!"

I just saw your updated designs for your sides and they're so cool! I wanna know how and why you updated their designs to look like the way they are right now (+ explanation for sequoia's design!!!! They look super cool)
Ahhhh yes my sides!!!!
Okay so the reason I updated their designs in the first place were literally just that some of the (Hazel, Willow and Wisteria specifically) just weren't doing it for me. I started specifically with wisteria because I wanted her outfit to give her more room to move, because of my visualisation of my imagination and thoughts. The others just followed on from that.
Willow's outfit changed because honestly it was just boring, and that's not any part of who I want to be, really, which is what she encompasses (mostly how I'd like to present myself) so I have her an outfit that more encompasses my love for big fancy dresses, and how much I'd LIVE to actually dress like that (I also wanted all of them to have somewhat unique styles that all represent clothes I enjoy, apart from Elma, who still looks like she's about to go for a day in the office).
Hazel's whole thing changed because having them be Anxiety just didn't sit right with how I viewed their personality and style. So they became the centre of my coping mechanisms instead. Their main colour changed to dark blue, one I find a lot more calming, and their outfit (similarly to before) was focused more on comfort. They do still manage my anxiety, but BEING my anxiety isn't their purpose anymore.
Those are the three who had big changes, other bits to note are that Aspen got big stompy boots and Juniper got a slight update to their style to make it a little cooler. Mainly I just wanted to redraw them all! And it was fun :D
Now Sequoia is a massive deal to me but still kind of a mystery? Their outfit is a lotta vibes. She's purple mainly because of the whole mystery thing, and I kinda went with a lot of fantasy vibes as well as a tiny bit of superhero/secrecy sort of thing? Because she's been hidden and overshadowed for so long but ALSO she represents a lot of my childish spirit. She doesn't wear shoes because vibes, (I literally design these guys but thinking "okay so how do we feel about shoes?" And usually an image or vague idea at least will pop into my head, this bitch gave me NOTHING) but she does wear socks because I CANNOT STAND not wearing socks to the point where this is an attribute of all of my sides.
The golden wing clasp on her cape is actually a symbol I've used and kept through a long line of OCs that represent myself, though sequoia is the only one who shows this off, since it's an older motif and she's more in line with things I did a few years ago. She covers her eyes for a reason I'm not sure, again, very secretive and a lot of this is governed by vibes.
Does she actually have cat ears under that hood? I mean, maybe. I've never seen her without it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
Also since posting the designs I ended up changing sequoia's pronouns to they/fae, so no more she. It just fit better. :)
Tysm for the ask!!! I always love talking about my guys <3

Previous anon here! I totally understand what you mean i have the same issue with my own ocs. So can I ask who's your oldesr oc (you've had the longest) and who's your favorite and why? :3c I wanna hear about them but it's hard to think of specific questions! Sidenote, you inspired me to start reblogging things as inspo for my own ocs!
OH I feel you, I'm the exact same way about not knowing what to specifically ask about other people's OCs lmao it's so hard to think of good questions!
My oldest (current) OC is my ranger, Elyss!! I've been playing her for coming up on EIGHT YEARS, which is admittedly not actually as much as it sounds because the run schedules for all the campaigns I'm in tend to be pretty sparse, ahaha :') She is also still my favorite, my beloved girl... 🥺💕 That's at least partly because I've been playing her for so long and for awhile she was my only dnd character, so I've had a lot of opportunity to think about her and play her and get to know her as a character.
She's a water genasi who was born and raised in a land where genasi are essentially unheard of, so she's spent most of her life fairly rejected and lonely. She ended up (voluntarily) living alone in the woods for something close to ten years, and she has a very nature-inspired True Neutral philosophy, so when we started the campaign with the premise of 'an established group of adventures trying to stop A Bad Guy from Taking Over The World' I had to figure out why she would care about that, and one of the answers was 'well... she loves her friends,' which has informed SO much about everything about her ever since. On a practical level, it means I get to engage with the game even if Elyss wouldn't necessarily want to (eg if the paladin wants to do a dangerous stupid thing to save some villagers, I want to go with him to help keep him safe), but it's also made her really interesting and really emotionally rewarding to roleplay with. I'm fortunate in that all my fellow players in her campaign are amazing AND Elyss has meaningful relationships with most of their characters, so I've been able to explore her navigating those relationships and her own feelings... at the beginning of the campaign, she felt really strongly that her love for her companions was completely one-sided, so had a lot of Issues about needing to be unambiguously useful and never a liability to avoid rejection and losing her right to be a part of the group. Unfortunately the circumstances of this campaign have given her... really severe trust issues to the point of sometimes paralyzing paranoia, BUT she DOES now believe that (most of) her close friends actually care about her in return, so, that's something :') I guess tl;dr without explaining the entire campaign and her entire personal development, she just has a lot of complex feelings and life circumstances that are not only interesting to play and think about but that also just... make me wish for the best for her. She's had a really hard time, so it fills me with joy whenever she gets a little reprieve, I'm overwhelmed on her behalf when things are inevitably really bad for her again, and I'm deeply invested in her path toward hope and growth and a happier, more stable future 🥺💕
All that said, I've gotten to play her a lot less lately, and while she's still my favorite, the margin isn't as wide as it used to be, lol. But I dunno if I could put a finger on the definitive second favorite? It depends on who I've played and/or have been obsessing over the most recently I think, lol. Right at this second that feels like a tossup between Juniper, my druid, and Melliwyk, my wizard; I'm not gonna do another wall of text for each of them for this ask BUT-- June is basically the character archetype I have the softest spot for (sweetheart, awkward, big ol nerd) and I wanna kiss her and give her soup, and Mel is a DIFFERENT archetype I tend to be drawn to (mad science type friendly little wierdo) but she has also developed depth that I wasn't expecting and now I have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings about HER as well. Also, June gives me a good outlet for a lot of soft tenderness, Mel is a good outlet for me in real life being a big fuckin nerd, and Elyss is my single best outlet for just. really loving to be really good at DPS when I'm playing a game kjhkdfhjd

"I don't think I've seen that little Oshawott before,” Professor Juniper noted as she observed the Oshawotts playing with each other. “Does she belong to one of the Samurott here?"
"Hm? Oh, her,” One of the Daycare handlers said, once she figured out which one the Professor had pointed out. “Believe it or not...she's the daughter of that one."
The Professor was evidently surprised by the statement. "You don't really mean-?! I didn't know she had a kid, let alone a mate."
The Daycare handler shrugged. "We don't know who her mate could be. It's definitely not one of the Samurott in the Day Care."
Tumblr media
It was overhearing conversations like this that clued the little Oshawott into the fact that she was a little different from the others.
That never bothered her much. Oshawott as a whole were usually a rowdy bunch from the start; they won't hesitate to fight alongside themselves. She always had a lot of fun play-fighting with the other Oshawott (and sometimes some of the rowdier Snivy or Tepig that resided in the Day Care). She didn’t think she was that rowdy compared to any of them.
No, she knew she was different because she was that one's daughter. 
She didn’t know much about why her mother was so different from the other Samurott here. There were a number of reasons she could think of, and maybe some other reasons she didn’t know about.
It could be her nature; while the other Samurott were more social and talkative, her mother was quiet and somewhat standoffish. 
There was her armor to think about. The other Samurott had horns that stuck straight out, while her mother’s horns were all funky and bent out of shape. Like thorns - one of her Snivy friends told her about those, and she immediately thought of her mother’s armor.
Honestly, the little Oshawott would be more irate at the gossip she overheard if her mother showed any signs of caring about it. Compared to the other Samurott, she just did her own thing. 
She did have some friends in the area, but none of them were Samurott. There was a wild Zororark she was particularly close with, and there was a Liepard too. The Zoroark was always very kind to her whenever he visited; to the point where she considered him the closest thing she had to a father (not that she’d ever say that, or even realize just how true that could be).
The Liepard seemed more like an older sister than anything. Both of them always seemed to be willing to talk for her mother, but the little Oshawott couldn’t find them today.
That didn’t deter her, though. After hearing Professor Juniper say something, the little Oshawott decided that she wanted answers straight from the source!
When the little Oshawott approached her mother, she did so by climbing up her back and onto her head. It was a common practice, one that her mother never seemed to mind.
(Hey, Mama?) Oshawott questioned, once she settled herself on top of her mother’s head. (How come you're different from the other Samurott?)
(Hm?) Her mother glanced up at her. (Who told you about that?)
(Nobody said it to my face. But sometimes I hear some of the other Samurott talking about it. The Daycare handlers are talking with that Juniper lady, too.)
The Samurott looked over at the people managing the Daycare, with Professor Juniper standing with them. Both of them knew that every few months she usually picked up 'starters' for newbie Trainers. She knew that Oshawott was one of those ‘starters,’ so there was always a chance that she would pick her.
(Hey, do you think they'll pick me this time?) the little Oshawott questioned. (I've gotten really good at play-fighting! As much fun as being with you is, I don't wanna be in this Daycare for the rest of my life.)
As if to prove her point, the Oshawott jumped off her mother's head and performed a few practiced swipes with her scalchop. She swung a little too hard though, and ended up spinning herself around before falling onto her rump.
The Samurott snorted, watching her daughter's antics. (You truly are my kid.)
There was a moment of silence between mother and daughter before the Samurott spoke up. (Now that you mention it...I think you are at the age where Oshawott usually go off on their own path. So I need you to listen to what I'm about to say, alright?)
The little Oshawott eagerly scooted closer to her mother, eyes sparkling. Her mother snorted again before continuing, (Part of the reason the other Samurott don't like me is that we have differing views. The Samurott here always spout nonsense about 'honor' and 'playing fair.')
She snorted, clearly finding the very idea laughable. (I say, what good is honor when you're dead? If I stuck by some flimsy code of honor back in the Icelands, you and I wouldn't be here right now. Those other Samurott wouldn't last a single day there.)
Tumblr media
(The Icelands?) The little Oshawott's curiosity was piqued. She couldn't remember the last time her mother spoke about where she came from! Now that she thought about it, did she ever talk about that? It was usually a touchy subject; Oshawott knew that her mother had no idea how she got from the Icelands to Unova, and that thinking about it made her a little sad. That's why she never brought it up.
(I’m sure I’ve mentioned it at least once. The conditions were cold, and much harsher than they ever were here. They say that one wrong move could be your last in the wild, and that was doubly true in the Icelands.)
(Wow...so life was really rough there? That's why you don't care about honor?)
(I wouldn't say rough. I got by well enough, and I wasn't the only Samurott who thrived in that environment,) her mother responded. (The Samurott were just...different, I suppose. All of them were as ruthless as I'm known to be.)
Oshawott huffed. (But if that’s true, that doesn't mean the Samurott here should treat you any different!)
(I'm used to it. I was different even back there, too. Believe it or not, most Samurott back there had black armor instead of white.)
The little Oshawott's eyes sparkled as she imagined it. More specifically, she imagined herself having black armor. (Wow...that's so cool!! I want cool armor like yours!)
The Samurott laughed. (I won't get your hopes up, but I'm sure you'll grow strong no matter what kind of armor you have.)
They were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. They turned to see Professor Juniper had approached them. From their position, they could also see the Daycare workers fretting over the Professor's safety. The Samurott's eyes narrowed, but she made no other move. Probably because she knew what was going to happen, and she also knew how it would make her daughter so happy.
"Hello there!" the woman greeted with a wave. "You two might know me already, but I'm Professor Juniper. I'm here to pick out starters for a group of Trainers in the town I live in - this little Oshawott here reminds me of one of those Trainers, so I’m sure they’d become fast friends. But I don't want to separate her from her mother if neither of you are ready. Let me know and I'll pick another Oshawott."
Tumblr media
Oshawott's eyes sparkled as she jumped in place and cheered. She then looked up at her mother, silently begging her to allow it. The Samurott nodded, and placed a paw on her head.
(Before you go, I just have one more thing to say,) she said. Oshawott glanced up at her curiously. (Just don't forget. Honor may be all well and good, but it’s useless in the heat of battle. Don't be afraid to use whatever trick you have to protect what’s precious to you.)
(Okay!) Oshawott nodded before giving her mother's leg a big hug. She walked over to Professor Juniper and waved at her mother as the Professor picked her up.
(Momma!) Oshawott called as she was carried away. (I'll visit when I can! I'll be a fighter you can be proud of, you'll see! I love you!!)
Months would pass before Michelle would visit the Daycare she came from (as a Samurott; one with standard Unovan armor and a myriad of scars), but that’s a whole other story.

So it’s been about 2 or 3 years since i’ve been on this site…
Some shit has gone down with my goblinoids. And i have recently found out that my cousin might just be the worst player in existence. Her main character now is a firbolg bard named Primrose.
A collective list of shit Primrose has done in the 2 campaigns she’s in:
-snorted bone dust from a skeleton she powdered with shatter
-put the halfling bard’s discarded teeth in Esku’s hood. Esku is a traumatized Yuan-ti pureblood wild magic sorcerer. He has really bad anxiety. Needless to say, Albion the party mom friend gave her a strict talking-to.
-She and the halfling bard (Calfira, played by my sister) got into an argument with a bunch of grung about Esku. I had to have Ria explain to them that the FROG PEOPLE were scared of the SNAKE MAN.
-in my sister’s campaign, where I play Albion the lawful good teifling fighter, she found a cursed book. Every time you open it, a wild magic surge happens. Albion, naturally, did not like the book.
-Primrose fucking loved it though. She opens it wayyyyy to much. In doing so, she ACCIDENTALLY GASSED A BLACKSMITH SHOP TWICE. Naturally, it was up to me to save the smith.
-She ran into the shop to save the smith’s flower crown. In doing so, she got lost in the poison fog. First instinct? Fucking steal a knife.
-after being lost in the fog for a few minutes, she decided that the only option was death. Not calling for help. Just fucking stabbing herself with a sword.
-eventually, i rescued her. She immediately ran back in and tried to kermit sewer slide AGAIN. SHE SUCCEEDED ON 8 DEATH SAVING THROWS BEFORE SHE FINALLY DIED AFTER ALBION ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED HER.
-we then found out that she had done all that BECAUSE SHE WANTED A NEW CHARACTER SHEET. SHE WANTED TO PLAY AN ORDER OF THE SCRIBE WIZARD BECAUSE I HAD GIVEN ONE OF MY NPCS IN MY GAME A TALKING NOTEBOOK.
-needless to say, her new character was a dragonborn wizard named Drexac. We ‘lovingly’ nicknamed her nutsack. Yeah everyone in the party hated her new character. Albion especially.
-we explored a magic items shop. Drexac found invisibility boots. Her first instinct? Tickle Albion. My sister made her roll for it. She rolled low. It was more like she was groping him.
-she decided it would be funny to pull Albion’s tail. That did not go over well.
-Accidentally cast Compelled Duel on Albion with an enchanted glove. She then refused to duel him. She made a ur mom joke at him.  -we ended up at this cute little elf village. Albion accidentally got engaged within the first minute of being there, but that’s a different story for a different time.
-by this time, my sister and i were so sick and tired of Drexac. My sister’s solution as the dm? Kill off nutsack and resurrect prim. That’s exactly what she did.
-now that prim is back, what do we do? Go get some funky animals.  -after that, it’s time to torture Albion. She opens that fucking book again.
-Prim and Albion swap bodies. This is where it gets wild.
-after realizing she’s been body swapped with a good, pure-hearted boi who has never done anything wrong in his life, she decides to flirt with girls. Remember, Albion is engaged at this point. 
-after ruining his reputation, what does she do? RUIN IT MORE. SHE STEALS A FUCKING DINOSAUR FROM A PET SHOP. AND RUNS AWAY WITH IT. ALBION IS PRACTICALLY IN TEARS BY NOW.
-thankfully, we catch up to her and the magic effect ends.
-wanna know what she fucking does next? Sulks because Albion said he didn’t like her. After the stunt she just pulled.
-there was a whole debacle where Albion and his wife-to-be Juniper had to bake a cake. She tried to help and got powdered sugar FUCKING EVERYWHERE. SHE ALMOST KILLED EVERYONE WITH POWDERED SUGAR.
Thats all i can think of at the moment, but rest assured i will post more dnd shenanigans because there is A LOT.

WHAT EVEN WAS THIS? Major spoilers ahead.
I heard somewhere that SJM rewrote HOFAS and I feel like maybe that's why this book feels not as good, like Curse For True Love did with Stephanie Garber. House of Flame and Shadow is by all means a decent and engaging book, I read through it extremely fast, but there is something unsatisfying about it all.
This book felt a lot like Bryce goes to this location and learns a bunch of information, meets up with people to explain said information, and then goes to another location to get more information, wash rinse repeat. Why is this book FULL of info dumps with the reasoning being "oh you weren't ready" or whatever. For the majority of this book, I kept thinking why is all these side characters just hanging out in the scenes with Bryce because they aren't important??? Bryce could have been alone in the majority of her scenes and things would have been the same.
HOFAS felt super plot driven which felt a little different from SJM's usual more character driven stories. I didn't feel or recognize much development of any character in this third book. If anything, Bryce felt a little more colder, a little more bloodthirsty than normal. I felt like she felt out of character with a little Aelin-level schemes because Bryce has always notoriously hasn't been a BIG thinker or plan ahead. The girl who didn't pay attention to Fae rules and customs and got herself in trouble; the girl who asked a criminal to find a boy and was shocked when said criminal did any means necessary and killed people? Bryce, who cares deeply about babies and children, told a mother worried about her kidnapped sons to let go of her baggage?? Bryce who has always been pretty understanding emotions and "we're a team he gets me" tells Hunt who is struggling to get over it??? There's just some weird things that felt off here. Especially when Bryce tells Hunt who NEVER wanted to a part of the fight, who still showed up anyway that "its like you don't wanna be here". NO HE DIDN'T WANT TO!!!!
Tharion and Ithan, I enjoyed their characters in the first and second books. But they were completely a drag in this one. For almost 60-70% of the story, it was repetitive and boring and just brought the mood down. Tharion's story gets better when Sathia joins up and I love her, I hope we see more of her. Ithan's story was mostly nonsense. What the fuck was the point of the Viper Queen and Sigrid. It was so obvious where his story was headed but we had to do inane circles and waste stupid time to get there. By the time Ithan finally became Prime I daresay I couldn't care and don't think he truly deserves it. Give it to Perry. She cares about the wolves.
I LOVE Lidia and Ruhn, they were a bright spot in this book, but I do think we deserved more of them and their romance. HOSAB kind of touched it but they deserved more. And Ruhn shooting Lidia was absolutely stupid in my opinion. They're Vanir, don't they heal fast???? Stupid! Lidia deserved to be more furious at him for that.
Bryce and Hunt felt off too, and I think because they didn't 100% (in my opinion) discuss or go back over their arguments. They needed to talk and move through together but they both seemed to afraid to do so. Plus, the reunion between Bryce and Hunt was 100% disappointing. Hunt felt a little sidelined here too in my opinion, his lightning was helpful but like that's it? And when he pulls an Iron Man: eyeroll.
One of my biggest problems is that we get constantly told how bad ass Fury Axtar is and she gets SIDELINED? Here??? As a babysitter??? Juniper who yelled and held the doors as long as they could during book 1 gets sidelined too. This series has been about female friendship too so why?????
Hypaxia could fix way too many problems too easily. Antidote was easily, TOO EASILY solved. Hypaxia just casually bringing people back from the dead and then easily toppling over the Under-King was so eye-rolling.
The whole battle was just really easy? In SJM's books I never once worry about main characters and that really kills the big stakes mood. KILL CHARACTERS AND LEAVE THEM DEAD!!!!! Big main characters. The Bryce and Rigelus grappling in front of a black hole in space was just very ridiculous, and Hunt in a mech suit grabbing her in space felt silly. It's ACOWAR all over again with Bryce coming back to life too.
I do think the crossover was done well. I love that it was pretty much only Nesta and Azriel. But tell me why it takes Rhys so damn long to get to the House of Wind??? He can't fucking winnow?? Nesta was just a huge highlight and I loved the moments with Ember and her.
Also: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COMM CRYSTAL RUHN DROPPED IN BRYCE'S POCKET? IS IT IN PRYTHIAN? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE LIBRARY OF PARTHOS?? WHAT WAS THE POINT ABOUT JOINING THE BLADES IF SHE COULD SUMMON A BLACK HOLE? REALLY HUNT'S DICK BEING TOO BIG TO FIT UNDERWEAR IS THE STUPIDEST THING. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE HARPY COMING BACK TO BE LITERALLY DEAD IN SECONDS? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ARIADNE AND THE DRAGONFIRE CAN HARM PRINCES OF HEL? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ADOPTING COOPER TO LEAVE HIM BEHIND??? BAXIAN SERVED NO PURPOSE??? THE DUOLINGO MAGIC BEAN??? SINCE WHEN DID ACOTAR HAVE THAT BUT NO C-SECTION KNOWLEDGE.
I did enjoy this book, I know people struggled with the jumping around but I really did enjoy it.

Apollo was really unsure about this. Athena kept pushing him into doing it though and he at this point had no other choice. Box of pocky in one hand, and using the other to nervously scratch his burning cheeks.
He's never actually played the pocky game before, so Apollo was pretty sure he was going to screw this up.
"Umm... HEY JUNIPER!" Crap, wait maybe he should calm those chords of steel for one second. The more anxious he got, the louder they seemed to be though.
When he grabbed the girl's attention, his heart felt like it was going a mile a minute. "D....Do you wanna play the pocky game...? Y'know, where we both nip a side of a pocky and... Umm...." He swallows nervously, feeling a lump in his throat.
"We.... We.... try not to kiss or break the pocky I guess. I'm sure you wouldn't wanna play with me so I'll just be on my way haha." He was already ready to book it if he heard any kind of rejection.
Tumblr media
“A-Aaah!” Juniper nearly jumped out of her skin when Apollo spoke, well, a bit too loud. In her opinion, his voice could be just as strong as he was, though he didn’t always seem to have full control over it all of the time. But despite being so startled, she didn’t mind, a deep blush appearing in her cheeks

“A-Ahh...h-hello Apollo. You, um, you startled me. B-But I am happy to see you!” She gave him the brightest smile she could muster, which, to be fair, left her positively beaming. Oh, if only he knew just how happy to see him she was...not that she would ever say so, of course.
“...Pocky game?” The brunette tilted her head. She knew what pocky sticks were, but she’d never known there was a game to it, though she had overheard Thena saying something about it being Pocky Day earlier. If he thought his heart was racing though, he had no idea just what that meant in comparison to how Juniper thought her own heart felt when he described the game to her.
“O-Oh...I-I, um...I never heard of that game...b-but...” She didn’t know what to say or even think in that moment. Did he want to do this with her? Did he want it to end up as a kiss? Was it a shy way of making that happen? Oh, but why would he ever want to kiss a girl like her? Where had this even come from? Even if it was Pocky Day, why would she be the one-...no, no, Junie, stop thinking so much and just start doing! I-It’s okay...if he really doesn’t want to kiss you he’ll just break the stick and it’ll be what it’ll be, right? A-And if he doesn’t...but if he doesn’t, what does that even mean? Oh gosh, I don’t even know if I can do this!
It took several moments of mustering some courage and she tried her best to not appear to nervous. ‘A-Ah...no, it’s fine I-...” She swallowed heavily. Why would her hands not stop shaking? “I-I’d be okay with trying it. I-It sounds like fun.” Oh Junie, what have you gotten yourself into now? Of course, things would have been even more complicated if she’d known this was being done with Athena’s encouragement.

Spoilers for my Webtoon comic Basil's Persimmon Preserves ahead✨
Though it's mostly rough sketches, I'm really proud of this little series of backstory moments for Clove, Basil, and their mom Juniper. (To the lyrics of a Mother Mother song)
