Tumblr media
“What? Where did that come from?”, Levi exclaimed. “Do you seriously think you could beat me in a competition involving TSL? Haha, that's hilarious! As if I'd actually accept a challenge like that. I mean, I already know what the outcome would be.” Levi didn't seem to take you seriously, but you used that to your advantage.
“Afraid of losing?”, you cockily raised your eyebrows at him, which stunned Levi. “Excuse me? Did you process anything I just said? Where are you getting this idea that I might actually lose to you?", Levi snapped back at you but that only made you want to take it further.
"I knew it. You ARE afraid, then?", you mocked him. Levi snapped back at you, but that only made you want to take it further. “I knew it. You ARE afraid, then?”, you mocked him.
"Excuse me? EXCUSE ME?! Are you processing ANYTHING I'm saying here?!”, Levi shouted angrily.
“Levi's a chicken!, you continued” “Hey! Watch what you say, human!” “Levi's an otaku!”, MC joined. “Well, yeah, can't argue with ya there”, Mammon said. “Levi's a…”, you pursued before Levi interrupted you.
“…Fine. If that's what you want, I'll do it. I accept your challenge. We'll compete to see which one of us loves TSL more, you or me. Just one thing, though. If you lose, you might never make it back to the human world alive. But you still want to do this, right? Okay," he nodded and stormed off.
After that you went to RAD. After a few periods you walked through the halls but only to be stopped by Satan and Beelzebub.
"Hello there, Y//N," Satan said. "I heard about what's happening. It seems you and Levi are going to have a little competition."
"Yeah what about it?", you answered.
"... Are you hoping to find out what's in the attic room? Is that it?”, Beelzebub asked.
“Not really, no”, you replied. It wasn't a lie, after all, MC was the one who desperately wanted to go up there.
“But you plan to use Levi's TSL soundtrack to distract Lucifer, right? Mammon already told me. There's no need to try and hide it. I'll let you in on a nice piece of information. Levi is the demon of envy. If you can work him into a jealous frenzy, he'll lose control of himself. Then he'll be guaranteed to slip up somehow, giving you an opening you can exploit. Just one thing, though. If Levi does lose control of himself, your life will also be in danger,” he commented.
“Why did you decide to tell me that?” It was weird that they offered you free advice like that. Do they want something in return? They never seemed interested in you, what's the change all of a sudden?
“No reason. Just felt like it, that's all..”, Beelzebub answered. Satan hesitated for a moment before speaking to you, “I'll give you a piece of advice, too. The DVD version of TSL is up to season 7 now. That's the most recent release. Meanwhile, the original book version is up to volume 8 at this point. Volume 9 of the book isn't out yet. But if you want to know what's going to happen in it, you should ask Simeon.”
“Why are you offering up free advice like that?, you questioned.
"No reason. Don't read too much into it. I enjoy making things difficult for Lucifer, that's all”, he smiled. You didn't know how to react to that.
After that, you were sitting with Mammon and MC in Devildom history class. You told them about what happened in the hallways earlier.
“So, let me get this straight…You're tellin' me that Beel and Satan both gave you hints for how to defeat Levi?”, Mammon suspiciously questioned, to which you nodded. “Ya don't say… How VERY interesting…Well, ya know why they did that though, right? It's all because I'm helpin' ya. You've got Mammon to thank for this!”
You just sighed at his comment, to which MC just shrugged her shoulders. Mammon kept on talking about how it's because of him and that I should be grateful. You just looked at him annoyed, seriously, how arrogant can someone be?
“Are you Insane?” You glared at him.
“WHA?! Whaddya mean am I insane?! Look at me… Do I look insane to you? No! And another thing… You REALLY need to learn to show some respect toward demons, got it?” He barked at you. “Ugh, forget it. Let's just get down to business. You and me need to figure out what our strategy's gonna be with this Levi thing. First off, what Beel told you is right. If you can make Levi jealous, he's bound to lose his cool. Though there's no guarantee he won't kill ya if that happens. But that's just how it's gotta be. There's no way you'll beat Levi in a competition over who's the bigger TSI nerd. Not if you fight fair. You'd best face up to the fact that this is gonna involve a little risk...So, we've gotta figure out how you're gonna manage to make him jealous. He may be called the Avatar of Envy, but it's hard to make him give in to it. Instead of gettin' super jealous of you, he'll get all negative about his own situation. He'll start talkin' about how it's “not fair and you're "lucky" and stuff. You're not gonna be able to get him to lose his cool just by doing a little bragging. No, you're gonna have to do somethin' to make him REAL jealous. So jealous that he nearly pops a blood vessel,” Mammon explained.
“Hmm… Maybe we have to ask someone for advice”, MC suggested. “How about we ask Solomon? He hangs around Leviathan doesn't he?”, you proposed. “Right, all right then, let's get movin'! Time to go see what Solomon has to say,” Mammon stood up and with that, you three head off to seek Solomon's advice, you can only hope that it will help you figure out how to make Leviathan jealous.
The day of the TSL Quiz finally arrived.
MC was standing next to Mammon, accompanied by his brothers and Diavolo.
Asmodeus picked up the microphone and announced cheerfully, “All right, everyone! Finally, the wait is over! It's time for Devil's Trivia Showdown, the quiz show that pits demon against human! Today our competitors will be testing their knowledge regarding a super-famous, super-popular fantasy series. One that's known by young and old alike… The Tale of the Seven Lords! Now, it's time to introduce our two competitors. First, he's a demon who freely admits to being a giant TSL nerd! Meet Leviathan!”
“I am the G.O.A.T. None can oppose me!”, Leviathan cheered. "And his challenger claims to have been introduced to TSL only very recently after binge watching the DVDs! Say hello to Y//N!”
You looked Leviathan in the eyes and said, “You're going down, Leviathan.” Leviathan glared at you and responded, “You binge-watched the DVDS ONCE. That's it! The fact that you would dare challenge me is an insult to TSL itself. It's sacrilege! It's so infuriating that I can't even feel the anger. I can only laugh. AHAHAHAHA.”
“Serving as judge for today's competition is our very own Demon Lord himself, Diavolo! Asmodeus announced.
“Hello there, everyone. Good to see you”, Diavolo introduced himself"
”Commentary will be provided by Satan, Avatar of Wrath. But a good commentator needs to keep a cool head. I wonder, is he really up to the task?” Asmodeus turned to satan who responded, “I don't think that's going to be a problem. So, I'm doing the commentary? That's a lot of responsibility.”
“Now, say hello to our guest demon, the always-famished Beelzebub! For his appearance fee, he requested to be compensated in cheeseburgers. How very Beel of him…” Asmodeus introduced Beelzebub, who was munching on his food.
"And your host for the day is none other than yours truly, Asmodeus. The demon who can make you swoon simply by whispering into your ear. You all know me, you all love me.”
“All right, enough. This is gettin' ridiculous. Let's get this show on the road!” Mammon groaned.
“I thought you hated wasting your time at events like this, Mammon. Yet here you are. Truly, wonders never cease”, Lucifer teases Mammon who responded with, “Shut up, Lucifer. MC dragged me here, that's all.”
And with that the battle began.
“Well then, we'll start with you, Y//N. Get ready for TSL Quiz question number one! The seven lords are all brothers, and each has a specific name that people know them by. In birth order, name the oldest, second-oldest, and third-oldest lords.” Asmo turned to you. You thought for a second before responding. “…Corruption, then Fools, then Shadow.
"Well, how about that! You're absolutely correct! Way to start the game off on the right foot, Y//N!" Asmo cheered you on. Leviathan rolled his eyes at that statement and huffed in annoyance. "Oh come on. Anybody could've gotten that one right."
"Mm, my cheeseburgers came with onion rings, the king of all side items. Yum", Beelzebub munched on his food.
"All right, Leviathan, it's your turn now. Here comes question number one! In what year did the Lord of Shadow build the Blue Palace for his imaginary mistress?" Asmo continued.
"Year 693 of the ancient era", Leviathan replied casually. "Correct! What an impressive showing from the self-described TSL nerd!" Asmo cheered him on which causes Leviathan to beam with pride."In me you bear witness to a legend!"
"Even so, is it just me, or was that question a little too specific? Only a mega nerd would know that", Satan stated to himself.
"This is shapig up to be quite entertaining, isn't it, Lucifer?" Diavolo beams with excitement. "I'm glad you find it to your liking, Diavolo", Lucifer nods. "All right, back to you now, Y//N!" Asmodeus turns to you. "Get ready for TSL Quiz question number two! This sixth lord is the Lord of Flies. What does he love to eat more than anything else?"
You paused for a moment before responding. "A cursed goat tartare sandwich with cheese."
"Correct! Very impressive! That was a tough one! You really do know your stuff, don't you?! Hmm... A cursed goat tartare sandwich with cheese... Is that sort of like a cheeseburger, more or less?" Asmodeus commented which made Beelzebub drool over Mammon.
"Hey, Beel, come on! Take a napkin to that stream of comin' outta your mouth! It's gettin' all over my clothes!"
"Now back to Mr. Reliable himself, Leviathan! Here comes question number two!" Asmodeus continued. "In The Tale of the Seven Lords Volume 3, page 724, what does the Lord of Fools say in the fifth line from the top?"
Leviathan took a few seconds before replying, "Money is my dearest friend and closest companion. It's everything to me. The blood bonds I share with my brothers are like the weak, wispy threads of a spider by comparison."
"Amazing! That is correct! An exact match word for word!" Asmo cheered. "The more I learn about the Lord of Fools, the clearer it is that he's a total scumbag," Satan commented. “…Hey, why does it feel like you're insulting ME right now?" Mammon scowled.
"All right, moving on... It's your turn now, Y//N! Say hello to question number three! This is regarding the fifth brother, the Lord of Lechery. Who does he love more than anyone else?"
"Himself," you said, that wasn't really a question you had to think hard about. "Well, well! Excellent! You are absolutely right! So, the fifth lord loves himself above all else. I like that. Sounds like my kind of guy." Leviathan grew more impatient by the minute. "Come on, hurry up! Let's go! It's my turn now." Asmodeus continued, "Leviathan, you've gotten every single question correct thus far. But prepare yourself, because question number three is coming at you! In Volume 4 of the DVD series, at exactly 159 minutes and 35 seconds in, what is the Lord of Masks holding in his left hand?"
"He's holding a flower from a carnivorous grodoodle plant, grown by the Lord of Corruption," Leviathan answered, which left your mouth wide open. How can someone memorise something like that? "Excellent! That only flashed on screen for the briefest of moments, and yet you still caught it! Amazing! Your knowledge truly is extensive! In fact, I'd even say it's creepy!" Asmo stated. "Hey, is it just me, or have all of my questions been way harder than Y//N's? Like, suspiciously harder. Though they're still so easy for me that I'm ready to fall asleep here. Anyway...How long are we going to keep this charade up? This is getting boring." Leviathan uttered. Mammon nodded in agreement. "Yep, I'd say it has. All right, Y//N, it's time to pull out the big guns! Let's see how Levi here likes your trump card!"
"Levi, you're way too full of yourself. Which is why we're about to reach inside you, yank out that pride, and crush it like a bug!" MC exitedly proclaimed, giving you a thumbs up. Leviathan's eyes widen in confusion. "What...?", he muttered. Diavolo slightly smiled. "Well, well, interesting..." "All right Y//N, it's time to pull out the big guns! Let's see how Levi here likes your trump card!" Mammon smirked. "Wow! It sounds to me like the gauntlet has just been thrown down! It would seem Y//N has some sort of trump card to use against Leviathan! Perhaps now would be a good time to check in with our color commentator. Satan, what do you hink this could be about?" Asmodeus asked, turning to Satan.
"Well, it's not at all surprising that Y//N would come into this with a secret weapon. It seems that the advice I gave is about to pay some dividends. Excellent," Satan smiled, smirking to himself.
"Just a minute... Satan, are you telling us that you provided aid to Y//N? How very wicked of you! I suppose this would be a good time to get your take on this as well, Beel," Asmo said.
Leviathan seemed to grow more nervous by the second, which made you snicker. Beelzebub took one last bite out of his food before responding, "If you want to hear what have to say, it's going to cost you. Let's say one extra-large bowl of katsudon and some miso soup to go along with that." "OK, whose idea was it to invite Beel to this, huh?! He's done nothing but eat this entire time!" Asmodeus groaned.
"In any event, if Y//N really does have a secret weapon, it could mean something that will make winning against Leviathan possible! Perhaps we should hear what Y//N's opponent thinks about this. Tell me Levi, what's running through your head right now?! "ROFLMAO! l000000000000000000000000000L !" Leviathan laughed but you could see he was a bit nervous, even if the others didn't seem to notice.
"Right... I have absolutely no idea what you're saying! But clearly you don't see this as a threat.... Got it! So, what could this trump card of Y//N be?! Let's find out...!" Asmodeus announced. With that, you took out the pendant Solomon loaned you. It had the shape of a single wing. Leviathan eyes widen in shock as he observed the pendant.
"W...wait a minute, is that...? I don't believe it! It's the Lord of Corruption's lost wing pendant-the platinum version! That's incredibly, incredibly rare... It's legendary! H-How did you get that...?! That pendant was only sold in extremely limited quantities to commemorate the release of Volume 1. It's a veritable TREASURE! Any TSL fan would KILL for that. GAH! I...I can't bear to look at it! It's just...too...beautiful...!" He averted his eyes.
"Huh, so it's really that special? Well, I guess Solomon really is as big of a TSL fan as he claims. How about that," MC stated.
"All right, um... Okay, I suppose that settles who the true TSL nerd is..." Before Asmodeus could finish his announcement Leviathan interrupted. "I won't stand for this", he clenched his fists in rage. "All you did was stay up one night marathoning the DVDs. The idea that someone like YOU could actually be a bigger TSL fan than me, it's..."
"Wh-Whoa, calm down there, Levi...!" Mammon tried to calm Leviathan down but to no avail."
"No... no, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIIIIIS!" Leviathan steps towards you. "Uh-oh...! Y//N, run! Get out of here!" MC screamed in terror. You did what was best and ran away, atleast you tried to. Leviathan held your wrist tightly with his tail, which made you wince out in pain. "Let go off me you bitch! You are an awful loser", you yelled, trying to get your wrist free. Mammon and MC ran towards you. "Y//N!" MC shouted. "Dammit, I'm not gonna make it in time...!" Mammon gritted his teeth in frustration. You managed to get free from his hold, only for you to fall to the ground. Before Leviathan could strike again, someone stood between the both of you. You confusedly look up.
"That's enough", he said. "I believe you were going to settle this via a QUIZ, weren't you? Not through violence. You're out of control, Levi", Lucifer said with a frown on his face. "L...Lucifer..." Leviathan stuttered. Both Mammon and MC halted in their tracks, visibly shoked like the rest. "Unbelievable! Just as Leviathan was about to strike who should step in and stop him but the one and only Lucifer himself! Simply incredible!" Asmodeus proclaimed. "I haven't seen you leap to someone's rescue like that in quite some time, Lucifer" Satan smirked, visibly amused. Beelzebub only munched on his food which had caught in his throat. "Levi, go back to your room and cool off", Lucifer sternly said. Leviathan hesitated before Diavolo joined in, "Levi? You heard what he said, right?" "... Yeah", Leviathan muttered. Mammon kept quiet which Lucifer took notice. "What is it, Mammon? You look like you want to say something", he said. “…No. I don't wanna say nothin'?" Mammon mumbled, not looking Lucifer in the eye.
Leviathan left causing an uncomfortable silence to breake out. "So, what're we going to do now? How are we supposed to have our competition without Levi?" Asmo broke the tension. "I guess this means the competition ends in a draw. Neither one of them won," Diavolo replied. "I've got an idea. You should give your guest free cafeteria meal tickets as a parting gift. Fifty years' worth ought to do the trick", Beelzebub suggested, earning a few sighs from the brothers.
"Still, I have to say I find it surprising that you would go out of your way just to rescue a mere human, Lucifer. Very surprising...don't you agree, Mammon?" Satan turned to Mammon.
“…Huh? Why're ya askin' me?" He replied, visibly confused.
"Y//N is our friend so naturally we would want to save them!" MC joined in. Before Mammon could protest Lucifer spoke calmly, "As the oldest, it is naturally my duty to clean up my younger siblings' messes"
After this exhausting evening, you, MC, Beelzebub and Mammon were sitting on MC's gigantic Bed.
"So, ya made it out of that without being attacked, only to end up fallin' on your butt and sprainin' your wrist...Seriously, could you be any more of a klutz?" Mammon groaned, which earned him a hit from MC and a sharp glare from you.
"You humans really are way less physically capable than us demons. That's because they don't eat enough. And unlike us, they don't eat the right things", Beelzebub stated.
"Stop tying everything back to food, Beel!", Mammon barked at him. "Actually, why're you even here, anyway? Seems to me that you've been spendin' an awful lot of time here ever since the night of the DVD marathon."
"Well, so have you. I mean, you've even left a cell phone charger here. And a toothbrush, too. That's how much you're over here." Beelzebub replied. "W...well that's because, uh... you know... I've gotta look after this human, don't I? It's my job..." Mammon blushed.
While they fought, MC helped you bandage your wrist. After a while Beezlebub left the room for some snacks, leaving you with MC and Mammon.
"Of all the... Seriously, does that guy ever stop eatin'?! You'd better keep a close eye on your pizza, or he'll steal yours away next", Mammon complained.
He stopped for a moment before shyly rubbing his arm. “…Ah...um, by the way MC... There's somethin' I want you to know." Both you and MC looked at him.
"...Listen. If your life's ever in danger, I'm gonna be the one to save you, all right? Don't you forget that. … And if I can't manage to save ya, then make sure you die, got it?! I don't want no one else steppin' in and savin' you, all right?! It's me or no one, understand?!” He blushed.
MC blinked a few times before asking, “Why?”
“Because…ya know, because it's my JOB!” Suddenly a phone ran. You looked at your phone but it wasn't your D.D.D. ringing.
“Huh…? That ain't my phone. Is it yours?” Mammon asked MC.
“Hey, MC…your D.D.D.'s ringing.”

Got tagged by @lucky-lacmac ! I always grasp the chance to talk about my comfort characters so HERE GO They vary depending on hyperfixations so I'm going with what comes to mind rn and thus they're not numbered wheeeeeee Prohyas Warrior (Mighty Magiswords)
Tumblr media
I just. I was just smitten by this guy from day one. I was in Florida, caught the first episode on TV. Wasn't too enticed by the show yet, but soon found myself dreaming of the characters. Gave it more of a chance when I was back home, and eventually got way too into it and it moved from Background Noise to Hell Yeah I Love You!!!! The show in general brings me so much joy but something about Accordion Man just... speaks to me. He insist he's manly and has a killer bod, but he's also openly fond of cute things like dolphins and lil bugs and is super motherly. I just love when characters defy gender expectations. And I love his design, his attitude, his voice, the sense of humour he brings, and that hair, man. That hair Sends Me. He's probably one of the reasons I dyed my hair blue.... not to mention both he and Vambre are just unapologetic manchildren who just try to have fun with their job and adult life. I really relate to that and wish CN would do more cartoons about that. I'm tired of children protags jhckgfgs
honestly every character in this show gets comfort character vibes from me (just please give vambre a break with the hornyposting she deserves so much more) and the fact it has like no fandom at all is criminal
Conker (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
Tumblr media
Imagine if you will, I was 6 years old or so when Bad Fur Day released. I had no knowledge of it until my dad bought it for himself from the bargain bin in a local Intertoys that is now gone. Playing it through a bit (sneakily) my mom caught me JUST at the moment he threw up during the opening cutscene. I cried out of secondhand embarrassed, mom consoled me and it went into storage until I was 13 Then I found footage of the Great Mighty Poo on Youtube and snuck in that damn game again. Now, I had actual knowledge of English and as a teenager, the concept of an adult game was just very exciting. I fell in love with Conker, but in a different way a lot of people do. I see him as a normal guy who's just having a really weird day and his greed ruins his life. It's poetic, and I want to hug him a lot. But also slap him for being a little shit. He was there for me in my strange teenhood, when I was exploring adult subjects when I probably shouldn't, but it's been good all the way through. Probably my gateway into the furry fandom as well. As an adult I find myself enjoying the non-edgy stuff more - and it reflects in the fan material I produce of Conker. He is still very important to me and I love him a lot.
Barley Lightfoot (Onward)
Tumblr media
Rarely was there ever a character I could point at and be like "me." Girls in animation were always just... There, or very girly to a point I couldn't see myself in there. Surprise, surprise, Renée, you're not even a girl!!! Barley is one of those characters that I saw myself in. I do not have a sibling, but sometimes do wish I had one - and live vigorously throughout media portrayals of them. He is me as my best self - supportive, loud, clumsy, outwardly scary but otherwise just trying to do the right thing. He's one of those "Do I want to date you or do I want your gender" types. Ian is a good boy too ofc, but Barley to me is especially personal. His choice of fashion and body shape, right down to his big jawline, I feel mirrors myself. However, where both Lightfoot bros shine is that I share the experience of having "half a dad".
When Barley and Ian were going through the underground river and he was talking about the last memory of his dad, I saw me. I cried buckets. My dad was diagnosed with ALS somewhere around when I first read about Onward's development, and when I saw it with him he was already paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. He was smiling all the way through. Fergy Fudgehog (Viva Piñata)
Tumblr media
Lilshit. Absolute trash animal. Why do I love you so much? I dunno. He's kind of awful. Whereas originally characterized as a scaredy-cat who hated the idea of parties, he eventually got flanderized into a nasty little so-and-so who would sell his own adoptive brother if it meant he could get a snack out of it. When he's not that, he's a whiny manchild. Yet he entices me. His colour pattern, and my fondness for hedgehogs... him making weird noises a lot. I like him enough to have had a role play account for him for a while that's still around!! Sometimes you don't know why you like a character and that's okay.
Luigi (Super Mario Bros) Mario (Super Mario Bros)
Tumblr media
When I was 12 I first got into Mario. And I don't mean playing the games and enjoying them, but actively into the characters, lore, and stories... for as much as you can say Mario has story. Mario and Luigi are just such pleasant looking characters. They shouldn't be cute but they are. They were my first crushes and recently I've gotten back into it and I'm just here for it. Mario and Luigi are cute and I should say it!!!!!I legit find them attractive, physically and mentally. Also shipping Luigi with Peasley gives me happiness and I hate teenage me for having bad taste and hating it.
Donkey Kong Diddy Kong Dixie Kong
Tumblr media
Donkey Kong is the Absolute, the Eternal. He has always been there in my life, and so have his games. Something about that ape makes me feel comfortable and happy and I just want to hug him. I love the lore of the games, the aesthetics - toony-yet-realistic, and it influenced the HELL out of my own art style. Donkey Kong is just a Cool Soft Gorilla who WILL kick ass. Diddy and Dixie were also super influentual to me. DKC2 is one of my most favourite video games, starring two of my most favourite characters, and my favourite aesthetic... though, in a fun case of chicken-and-egg situation, I dunno if my love for pirates came from DKC2 or other way around. Lars Barriga (Steven Universe)
Tumblr media
Babby's First Gender Envy When Lars' entire arc happened, I was in college, constantly trying to discover myself. I enjoyed the character before the arc but the arc just elevated my love for him to the stars. He's just a fella, so nervous about what other people think about him... later in the show you get an insight on why he's like that. Then, he's dragged to space, forced to confront his emotional constipation, Fuckin Dies trying to save his new friends, and is brought back to life as a badass pink space zombie. Something about that just vibed with me super strongly. And how Steven always saw the good in him even if he bullied him. I love him so much. I love them both. That's the main ones! I tag whomever wants to do this I'm bad at tagging jdkfghjd

Okay, since it’s Christmas/New Year, your local ginger Jorvik-obsessed grinch is feeling vaguely festive. So, as a present, I gift to you a long Charlie x Josh piece, which explores how they met and is full of nauseating fluff and so much sweetness you’ll probably have to go to the dentist for cavities. It’s under the cut, happy holidays- now let me grinch in peace.
___
When the roads of Jorvik became blanketed in at least two foot of snow overnight, traffic ground to a halt. There was no way lorries and cars were getting through this. The owners of the delicate warmblood horses tucked them away in their stalls, wrapping them up more carefully than any Christmas present. Suddenly, the landscape was dotted with hairy, sturdy ponies and cobs, the only horses capable of ploughing their way through the deep drifts to get where they needed to be.
But Charlie could.
Isolated from the rest of Jorvik, the rangers of Redwood Point worried about how they’d feed their horses. Rovar’s Gap had drifts up to their armpits. No feed lorry could get through there.
Right now, she was in Silverglade village, loading supplies into a well-crafted sleigh. Standing patiently at the front, their breath curling into white clouds of steam, were Dreamweaver and Foxfire, known more commonly by their stable names, Fancy and Sven, respectively. The two grey Irish cobs could have passed for twins were it not for Sven’s paler coat. It had been a long time since Chas had worked the two in harness together, but she’d dug the old leather out from her tack room, shined it up, and borrowed a sleigh from the Jarlassons, who bred and drove Clydesdales.
The two harnessed horses drew a crowd of curious children, all wrapped up to the ears in scarves and hats and mittens by their doting parents. Sven, good natured as ever, bent his great shaggy head down to their affection. Fancy kept hers up and haughty, but still had a crowd of admirers. The mare almost seemed to be posing, aware of how striking she looked in the brass and leather gear.
Charlie flicked her red hair out of her eyes with the back of her hand as she noticed a stir over by Steve’s barn. She glanced back at the loading process, but Courtney, Big Bonny, and Lance, who was back in the village visiting his parents for Christmas, rather than at Starshine, were all helping out. They seemed to have it well under control, so Charlie made her way curiously towards the barn.
She didn’t expect to see Josh holding court, but that’s exactly what she saw. Blankets and cushions were spread out over the floor of the barn, and a group of entranced teenagers were gathered while he told a story with lively gestures and his wonderfully free grin. He had a lock of his white-blonde hair falling into his eyes, and Charlie wanted to brush it out of the way. She’d offered to cut it, but he said he liked the longer length. And it suited him. Softened his features a little.
Charlie took her eyes off her boyfriend and let them wander over the group of teens. These few had chosen to stay for the winter Jorvik experience, rather than the oh-so-popular summer camp. She wondered how many of them would stay on at the end, like she had, two years ago now.
But then again, she thought as she glanced over to Josh with a small internal smile, I had love to make me stay, and that’s a powerful motivator.
None of the teens looked older than fifteen, and Charlie, though she was only nineteen, suddenly felt rather old, envying their fresh faces, their innocence, their differences all lost in the face of their shared love for horses. She hoped none of them would have to learn of the Soul Riders, and the fine and dangerous line they walked between good and evil to keep the two separate. Across the miles that separated Starshine Ranch and Silverglade, Charlie felt Stargazer sense her sudden weariness. She knew that the handsome chestnut Jorvik Warmblood raised his head from his grazing, gazing across the river as though he could see her.
‘Are you okay, dear heart?’ His resonant voice asked her gently in her mind.
‘I’m fine, fire horse. Not a thing to worry your head about.’ Her response seemed to settle him, but she could feel his concern linger, so she added; ‘Go back to your grazing. We’re not strong enough to do this for long without a headache yet.’
He sent her a wave of affection that she returned, then she felt his presence leave her mind as she returned to the here-and-now.
Josh was spinning the youngsters a tale that he’d once fooled her with; the Jackalope story. He hadn’t noticed her yet, so she leant quietly against a wooden column and folded her arms, listening to the same soothing drawl that lulled her to sleep on the bad nights. He didn’t understand all that she did to keep Jorvik and then the world from descending into chaos, but he knew all about nightmares. And he was the one thing that kept them at bay for her, just as she did for him.
“…I zagged and I zigged, but the beast caught me… with the razor-sharp teeth of a rabbit and the pent up anger of an antelope, it gored me through my favourite foot!”
Charlie covered her mouth with her sleeve, suppressing a snigger. She knew this game of his well. He’d see how ridiculous he could get before someone caught on. It was how they whiled away the long hours of herding cattle between Starshine and Mistfall, him with his story-telling and her backing him up, straight-faced, as they rode along.
“When the winter wind blows, I still feel the sting…” Josh dropped his voice ominously, and Charlie gained a petty amusement from the way the younger teens clung to each other’s arms, “…and my foot’s never been the same since. I won’t show you the scar, the sight of it would horrify you! To this day I can’t take my boots off in front of others.”
He straightened up from his looming posture and the young riders glanced at each other nervously, clearly spooked. Charlie remembered being at their stage well. Experienced enough to know that Jorvik was a magical place, and yet…not wise enough to know what to believe.
“What do ya think?” Josh asked cheerfully, seemingly unaware of his nervous audience, but Charlie caught the glint of mischief in his hazel-green eyes. He looked around, finally spotting her. She lifted one hand from her folded arms, gave him a tiny wave. He gave that heart-flipping grin of hers, and a sly wink. Play along. She could do that.
“Well obviously,” she said, keeping her voice neutral and deadpan as she pushed off the column and sauntered forwards, “you zagged when you should have zigged.”
Her words garnered the attention of the teens, and she heard their flurry of whispers. All things she’d heard before.
“…she’s the one who got trained by those weird druids…”
“…I heard her horse is the bravest in Jorvik …”
“…well I heard they’re both equally crazy…they ride stunts no sane person or horse would try…”
“…she knows Anne Von Blyssen, the dressage rider…”
But she kept her attention on Josh. The teens’ distraction gave him enough time to arrange his face in a very good mockery of surprise.
“You mean some kinda zig-zag manoeuvre? That’s so crazy it might actually work! Gotta pass that to my buddies in the US.”
“You do that.” Charlie remarked with a grin, before turning to the teens. “Alright kids, story time’s over. You guys have horses to take care of.”
They scattered faster than those unnervingly stealthy chickens at Sunfield Farm. Chas wandered up to Josh, stepping into his waiting embrace and wrapping her arms around his torso. She buried her face in his shirt, breathing in his scent. Pine and fresh air and saddle oil.
“Hi,” she said happily into his shoulder, tightening her hold as his hand stroked her hair, “what brings you to Steve’s?”
“Hi yourself darlin’,” he responded quietly, “picking up some feed for Mary’s sheep. What are you up to then?”
Charlie gestured vaguely behind her in the direction of the sleigh. “Taking supplies up to Redwood Point. Can’t get a lorry up that slope with the snow, never mind over the bridge.”
Charlie gave an internal shudder at the thought of any motor vehicle trying to cross that stone arch in snow. It was bad enough without. She felt Josh’s chin move on her hair as he looked towards the sleigh.
“Smart.” he said approvingly, and she felt a pleased warmth at the compliment, stepping back from his embrace to move around to his side. He wrapped one arm around her shoulders, and she put hers around his waist, as they wandered outside, strides in sync. “Looks like we’ve got a little time before they finish loading.”
Charlie gave a hum of agreement. She glanced over to the young riders, now fetching their mounts from Steve’s paddock. Their orange tops, swapped from t-shirts to thick fleeces for the winter, marked them out as visitors. Their loaned horses, the Jorvik Warmbloods that Moorland specialised in, were shaggy with their thick winter fur. Charlie was pleased to note there were a couple of boys among the riders. Moorland’s riding camps had always had a bit of a gender imbalance, but that seemed to be changing.
“I remember being one of them.” Chas said a little nostalgically, shooting Josh a mischievous grin as they ambled up to the runestone on the tiny hill behind Steve’s taking in the view. “Simpler times, eh?”
“Worse times,” Josh said firmly, “because I wasn’t with you.”
“You sap.” Charlie nudged him affectionately with her elbow, before standing on tiptoe to kiss his cheek, fully aware of just how cold her lips were. He retaliated by tickling her ribs under her thick fisherman-knit jumper and she squirmed away, putting her hands on her hips in mock-offence. He pouted teasingly at her, before opening his arms. Unable to stay mad at him, even as a joke, she accepted his hug.
“First time I saw you, you were one of them,” Josh recalled, gazing down towards Moorland. Chas cocked her head and he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, “but I never told you about that, did I?”
Chas shook her head. “You have to tell me now.”
Josh cleared snow off the low stone wall and sat, pulling him down with her. “It was in the days before the ranch, when I still worked at Moorland…”
“A year before,” Chas recalled, “that was when I arrived.”
“Right,” Josh nodded, “your hair was all blonde and spiky and short then.”
Chas held a strand of her long red hair and examined it. Sometimes she still thought she could see blonde dye at the very ends, though it had been so long since she’d dyed it.
“Anyway, there you were, this spiky scrap of a girl with that stallion that everyone else gave up on for his temper, but you saw yourself in him…and I remember lookin’ at you two and thinking…”
They looked like they’d like to fight the world. And they looked like they might just win too.
That was what Josh thought when he saw them. Loretta had wandered over to introduce the newest batch of summer campers, giving him some half-hearted flirting since Justin wasn’t paying her any attention. As usual, the oblivious boy remained…well, oblivious.
They were the usual bunch of fresh-faced horsey hopefuls, wide-eyed and wondering. Most of them were British, and stared at his Western gear in abject fascination.
But she was different. It wasn’t that she wasn’t British. She was, and when she spoke it was a Highland Scots accent that sounded like the river rolling over smooth stones. It was her attitude. She stood apart from the others, tall and lean as a whip, golden eyes distrustful and sharp as a fox. At her back stood that stallion, Stargazer. Josh knew that stallion all too well. He was a rescue. Nobody knew his past, but he treated each human as though they were his mortal enemy. He’d launched the farrier through a stable partition just last week, and nobody in Moorland stables hadn’t experienced the fiery chestnut’s wrath. With the exception of Justin, the only human Stargazer seemed to tolerate. And even then, only barely.
Yet here that fiery devil-horse stood, muzzle nearly touching this strange girl’s shoulder. He was more fierce than a knight guarding a royal, or a dragon guarding a damsel, like in the stories Josh’s mother had read him as a child, tucked up in bed in their Wyoming mountain cabin. What kind of magic had she worked? Not, of course, that magic was real (or so he thought at the time) but if it was, she had to have used it.
Her hair was in spikes that seemed to represent her personality. When she answered a question her responses were often monosyllabic, always cutting. Her face was striking, a straight arrogant nose, a strong, sharp jaw, heavily freckled from the summer sun, but never showed a smile or even a twitch of her lips.
Josh was intrigued by her, he couldn’t deny it. His mother had never tired of reminding her that troubled people led others into trouble, but he found himself around the troubled ones, humans and horses alike, all too often.
“Charlie Rainford. Strange  kid.” Thomas had remarked, his dark eyes, so like his son’s, watching the new riders take care of their horses. The girl, Charlie, seemed to be in her own world with Stargazer, the usually temperamental stallion dozing as she brushed him. “Won’t talk about her parents or home life at all. Just that they sent her here to get her out of the way. Horses make her happy, and she’s a natural. I’d swear she’s ridden before- and maybe she has. But she’s reckless- rides like the Devil’s chasing her. And if she doesn’t, then the horse runs like it anyway. They’re bad as each other.”
Josh let his gaze drift to her again. “He thrown her off yet?”
“He tried. Bucking, bolting, nearly flipped over. Went the whole nine yards. She stuck like a limpet and hasn’t had a problem since.”
Josh was fascinated. What had made Stargazer take to her? Why hadn’t she given up on the sour horse like everyone else?
From that day on, as much as Josh tried to break the habit, he couldn’t help but notice Charlie Rainford whenever she was nearby.
“Really? I caught your attention even then?” Charlie was amazed. She remembered that first meeting. She’d been hurt and a little disoriented over her parents abruptly launching her to Jorvik, finally having had enough of her constant chaos and troublemaking in a desperate bid to get them to look at her, their daughter, rather than an expense, someone to be paraded at parties for all their rich friends then hidden away again. Jorvik was strange, loud and confusing. The only thing that had made sense was Stargazer, that let-down, angry look in his eyes the same as hers, and she’d known instinctively that all he needed was someone who wouldn’t give up on him.
She’d noticed Josh as she trailed at the back of the group, distancing herself. He’d seemed friendly, polite, but distant. A couple of years older than most of the summer camp riders. She’d heard the other girls whispering about him in the stables, about how “cute” he was. All she’d seen was another person to potentially let her down if she got close. So she’d stuck to Stargazer, the horse becoming her rock and anchor, the only thing that supported her as her world was turned upside down by magic and mayhem.
Eventually though, that had changed. The quiet, calming manner Josh always had around spooked horses had gradually worked on her, settling her. He’d shared his dreams of having a ranch with her, and in response to him letting his guard down, she’d confided her past in him. Though he hadn’t quite understood the whole Soul Rider business, he’d supported her through it, eased her grief over Elizabeth when the time came. And she always knew when he needed a distraction from his homesickness, or just someone to listen to him.
At the end of Charlie’s summer camp, she’d flat-out told her parents she wasn’t coming home. She was a legal adult, Jorvik needed her and accepted her for who she was. The other reason, of course, was her steadily growing love for Josh, which she hadn’t admitted to anyone then, not even to herself.
The admission of their feelings had come at Christmas last year, in a beautiful yet all-too-cliche mistletoe moment carefully set up by Alex and Maya (with how clueless those two were about eachother, Charlie thought, it was a miracle they’d clued into Josh and Charlie) at a party hosted by the Moorlands. And now, here they were. Charlie looked at Josh’s side profile, suddenly aware of how very lucky she was. He turned his head and caught her looking, smiling at her. She traced his features with her gaze.
“What are you lookin’ at?” he asked her, pulling her closer against his side. Charlie shook her head, feeling a faint warmth in her cheeks.
“Nothing at all,” she murmured, “merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
He tilted her chin up with a finger, dropping a sweet kiss on her lips before grinning at her. “And happy anniversary too.”

@undergroundxdreamers said: “*throws all 7 sins at the mun XD*”
(From this) All seven? Are y’all out here trying to corrupt me or what?? xD
Lust (something I find attractive) Tries in vain to think of something that isn’t totally cliche or weird to say  Uh.. people that do that grin/smirk after they say something to flirt with you is pretty cool.. But if you want something more broad, I’ve always been really attracted to people who I feel like I can be open around, regardless of appearance/gender/etc. Like if someone’s attractive physically, sweet, but if they’re my physical type and also will tease me for a cheesy joke rather than acting unamused? Gold. Yes, I’m gonna tiptoe around anything too revealing on this one.
Pride (something I like about myself) This’ll definitely sound full of myself, but my loyalty. It’s a lot more palpable in romantic relationships of course maybe to a ridiculous degree, but once someone’s wormed their way into my heart, it’s pretty damn hard to get me to ever not be protective of them and almost impossible for me to not be there for them. I might not be the best at cheering someone, but I’m certainly there until they ask me not to be. Unless someone’s legit abusive, I’m never gonna be the one to walk away. I guess I value that more because it seems to be something less common lately, especially with folks my age. 
Sloth (something I dislike about myself) I’m not the strongest person emotionally. Maybe that’s too general? I worry too much, I take others’ opinions of me to heart rather than with a grain of salt, and I’m dealing with a lot of stuff years later due to not being emotionally strong enough on day of impact. I’d prefer to be more self-sufficient emotionally, rather than letting others’ actions or opinions strongly affect my mood, at least when it comes to my sense of self.
Envy (something I wish I was better at) I think I could’ve used my last answer for this one, whoops! But.. hm. Maybe being social? I don’t need to be a social butterfly, but I love making new friends and chatting with people about anything and everything, so I wish I was better at providing interesting convos/interactions so I could do more of that with less hassle for everyone involved. xD I also could use some work on how I make my characters/write, but I’m sticking to one thing per sin ask--
Gluttony (one of my favorite foods) Steak or chocolate come to mind but maybe are obvious/boring, so.. homemade chicken tortilla soup is pretty lit, not gonna lie.
Wrath (something that gets me angry) This’ll seem silly or trivial, maybe, but dishonesty. I feel like it’s the root of so many communication/loyalty problems in all sorts of situations, and while there’s certainly a time to hold your tongue, sometimes I feel like people are terrified of being honest if they think it’d look bad on them or someone else couldn’t handle it. You don’t have to be one of those folks who’s a jackass under guise of “just keeping it real,” but it’s not impossible to be gently honest with someone, especially in things that involve them. Being fake just seems like rudeness the long way ‘round, at least to me.
Greed (something I can’t get enough of) ... if we skip over answers that could get me in some hot water, I’d say chatter! It can be about muses, shows, memes, someone’s day, those random philosophical things that come up after 3 AM, and I’d be content to chat about it until they’re sick of me! The only times I’m not are when I’m buried in writing or class/work/etc., which is to say if it was going on all the time, I’d probably be chatting all the time. I like meeting new people, I enjoy lazy voice calls with new friends, I love dishing about IC gossip, anything, it’s pretty rare when I’m not down for it.

hey guess what? this girl participated in the shance valentine event this year by @shance-cafe / @shancesupportsquad! my valentine giftee is @greenemeraldjoy and the prompt i used was gender bender! joy, i really hope you enjoy this and i hope you had an amazing valentines day!
here’s a lil fic in which lana (fem!lance) and takami (fem!shiro) pretend to be a couple to get a discount at their local restaurant but end up developing feelings for each other
It seemed like Valentines day in itself, was hard for couples and single people alike. Couples had to find gifts for each other and plan a whole day of festivities while the single people of the world had to watch in envy, only to be figuratively spit in the face by the constant ads playing on TV about romantic getaways or jewelers trying to convince you to propose right that second.
Lana, however single she may be during this romantic holiday, found a charm in spending the day with your significant other. Although many believe it to be a capitalist holiday, only to bring in revenue for companies, there was just something special about showering your lover with compliments and all the things you love about them. Sure, it made her feel sad to see another Valentines day fly past her, but seeing her friends happy and in healthy relationships made her feel slightly better. However happy she was about her friends, she still couldn’t quell the jealousy in her heart. It didn’t help that Katie, Lana’s self-proclaimed rival and semi-friend had a date with her friend Honey, and Pidge had a date with her old crush Alfor. So although Lana absolutely adored this holiday, it hurt to see all of her friends on dates and not being able to even hang out with them.
So just as she was about to change into some sweatpants and binge eat some ice cream, her phone chimed:
[Takami ❤︎]
Takami ❤︎, 5:47pm: Hey, are you busy?
Me, 5:48pm: depends, why???
Takami ❤︎, 5:50pm: So, this might sound really dumb, but that restaurant next to Honey’s apartment is doing a 15% discount and a free dessert if you’re on a date
Takami ❤︎, 5:50pm: Do you want to pretend to be a couple to get some food?
Lana sucked in her breath. She knew that Takami was just trying to get a deal, but she couldn’t help the small jump her heart made when she read the texts. It was a known fact that Takami was extremely pretty and terribly kind, and it was a lesser known fact that Lana had the biggest crush on her. So reading that Takami, instead of choosing one of the many people who had the courage to ask her to be their valentine, she decided that she’d rather spend her night with Lana, over a candlelit dinner that was sure to be awkward. Just as she was about to tell her she couldn’t make it, her phone interrupted her:
[Takami ❤︎]
Takami ❤︎, 5:55pm: Don’t feel pressured into it, it’s not a big deal, you probably have plans
Me, 5:55pm: no! i don’t!
Me, 5:56pm: i’d love to go to dinner with you!
Takami ❤︎, 5:58pm: Great! I’ll pick you up around 6:30 :)
As Lana put her phone down, she immediately felt the panic set in. Jumping up from her couch, she ran into her bedroom, throwing out tons of clothing options while wondering why she ever did this to herself.
———
6:30pm seemed to roll around quicker than Lana expected, as the sound of her doorbell alerted her of Takami’s presence. Running over to the door, she quickly unlocked her door, revealing a smiling Takami.
“You look nice,” Takami said, cheerfulness seeping through her tone.
Lana felt herself heat up slightly. Rubbing the back of her neck, she laughed. “Thanks, you too,”
Takami offered her arm, an eyebrow raised. “Ready to go?”
When Lana took her arm her smile grew even larger. Making sure to lock the door, the pair walked arm in arm over to the restaurant, talking the entire way about their friends and what they were probably doing now.
It felt natural to Lana, talking to Takami like this. Of course, they’ve been friends for a while, so talking was easy for the two of them, but she thought that it’d be more awkward since they were pretending to date just so they could get a cheaper meal. She shouldn’t be so shocked, though, as anytime Takami was with anyone, she always knew a way to make them relax and to feel at ease. So by the time they reached the restaurant, Lana only felt that they’d been talking for a couple of minutes, not for the thirty long minutes that she was dreading.
The building was packed with couples, which was expected. It took them about forty-five minutes to finally get seated and to get the discount all prepared. Once they were seated and ready to order, Lana had a hard time actually focusing on the menu itself and not the person sitting right across from her. Eventually, though, she figured out what she wanted to order and told the waiter without looking like a foolish mess. When the waiter left them alone, however, she wasn’t sure of what to do next.
Takami seemed to notice her nervousness, as she placed her hand on top of Lana’s, a soothing smile on her face. “Relax, there’s no need to be nervous.”
Lana almost wanted to scoff. As if sitting across from her crush pretending to be her date would make her feel tranquil. Instead of that, she nodded her head, taking in a deep breath. When she finally relaxed was when she noticed Takami’s hand over hers. She could feel the heat rushing back to her cheeks, which caused her to turn away entirely. The faint sound of Takami sighing didn’t go unnoticed by her, which made her feel worse. She almost wanted to apologize and leave, and she probably would’ve, if Takami hadn’t spoke:
“Hey, did you know that Katie called me at four in the morning to ask me whether or not boiled heavy cream was supposed to be lumpy?”
Lana’s head snapped towards Takami, her eyebrows furrowed in both confusion and disbelief. “Are you serious?”
She nodded her head, a small smirk playing onto her lips. “She FaceTimed me because she thought something looked off,” Pulling out her phone, she showed her some pictures, “It was really sad to see this.”
“How did she think that lumpy heavy cream was okay?”
Takami shrugged her shoulders, not even bothering to defend her friend. “She’s lactose intolerant, she doesn’t know.”
Lana snorted at that, unable to hold in her giggles any longer. Takami soon joined her and for five minutes the pair just laughed at their disaster of a friend.
For the rest of the evening they continued to talk about both their friends and their lives, with Takami telling Lana about volunteering at a pet shelter and her job as a physical therapist and Lana telling Takami about her job at a daycare and having to deal with children everyday. They talked so long that by the time they finished, the bill had already been paid and they were on their way out.
As much fun as Lana had, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness hit her heart at the thought of this ending. She knew that they weren’t on a real date, but in the moment she could at least pretend. So as they walked out of the restaurant, her attitude had somewhat deflated. For the walk back to her apartment, it was relatively silent, with the occasional comment from Takami about how chilly it was.
Once they’d reached her apartment, Lana took out her keys and unlocked her door. Turning to face Takami, she smiled.
“Thanks for the meal, it was nice not being alone for Valentine’s Day,” She put on a coy smile, “Even if it was a fake date.”
Takami didn’t seem to be that happy about it, if anything, she seemed a bit sad when those words came out of Lana’s mouth. She tilted her head, moving to rub her arm.
“Hey, is something wrong?”
It took a couple of seconds for Takami to respond. “Would it be wrong if I said that I wanted this to be a real date but chickened out at the last second?”
Lana felt her eyes widen slightly. Looking at Takami, she noticed the prominent blush on her face, that seemed to extend to the tips of her ears. “What do you mean?”
“I mean,” She started, clearing her throat awkwardly, “I like you and I wanted to ask you to be my valentine, but instead I asked you to be my fake date.”
When Lana didn’t respond Takami quickly stuttered out a response, “I know it’s weird, I’m sorry but I just felt that I should get that off of my chest because, you know, people always say that you’ll regret it if you don’t say anything, but—“
Before she could go off on a tangent, Lana cut her off by pressing a sweet kiss to her lips. It tasted like the tiramisu that they ate previously and was too quick for Takami’s liking. When they pulled away, she stared at the other girl in amazement, almost as if she’d just told her all the secrets of the world. Lana simply smiled, absolutely adoring the lovestruck face that Takami was currently wearing.
Turning towards her door, she opened it slightly, looking back at Takami. “Well, why don’t you come inside and we can watch some awful romcoms and count that as our first real date?”
Smiling, Takami nodded, walking in right after Lana. As the other girl went to get both a pair of clothes for herself and Takami, she called out:
“If you’re good, then maybe I’ll share my ice cream with you!”

hm it's A Lot so u can skip questions but abc's for lael !!
i did all of this out of hubris and pride so here u go enjoy
A: Aptitude1. what are your oc’s natural abilities, things they’ve been doing since young?
they’ve had a little scientist’s/engineer’s instincts from a young age! they’ve always been very smart and had a good eye for figuring out how systems and mechanical things function, through observation and taking them apart
2. what activities have they participated in?
this is so vague but like. a lot of magitech stuff? and robot fighting when they were in school. and as a kid a lot of running around in nature, exploring and observing and messing with everything. 
3. what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for?
they have a natural knack for it, but all their knowledge of robotics, magic, and nature is stuff they took upon themself to study
4. what things are they bad at?
they’re not terrible athletic, and they really havent put much effort into developing people skills. 
5. what is their most impressive talent?
probably to other people the fact that they do magitech
B: Basics1. what is their hair color?
black
2. what is their eye color?
dark brown
3. how tall are they?
about 5′7″
4. how old are they?
31
5. how much do they weigh?
no clue! im bad at figuring this stuff out. body type wise tho, they’re on the leaner side bc elf heritage but also. very squishy.
C: Comfort1. how do they sit in a chair?
almost never with both feet on the ground, at least with one leg up or crossed, sometimes with feet on the seat, but generally with limbs going wherever, one arm hooked over the seatback, etc. there is no order here
2. in what position do they sleep?
they can sleep anywhere and tend to either splay out with limbs everywhere or curl up tight around a pillow
3. what is their ideal comfort day?
hang out at home, read some books, eat their childhood favorites, and hang out with their parents, maybe fuck around out in nature for a bit
4. what is their major comfort food? why?
this chicken and vegetable soup that their dad would make for them when they were sick, it’s heavy and comforting and magically makes them feel a little bit better
5. who is the best at comforting them when down?
their parents, but in different ways– their mom does more of the physical ‘taking care of them’ stuff when comforting, and their dad gets more into the emotional comfort stuff
D: Decoration1. how would they decorate a house if they had one under their name?
they do have a house! although it’s also first and foremost a lab, but that’s pretty on brand for them anyway. it’s a lot of tools and practical stuff, and a lot of the furniture is based off of personal comfort or use rather than style. for decoration though there’s some blueprints and pictures pasted to the walls. the colors in general are warmer ones, and the place overall gives the impression of not being necessarily Nice but comfortable and lived in. it’s very much Lael’s Space
2. how would they decorate their child’s room?
they. would not have children. 
3. how do they decorate their own room?
same with the house– very comfortable and useful, pictures and diagrams pasted on the walls, and lots of space for books and knick-knacks along with work room
4. what type of clothes and accessories do they wear?
they have sort of a Style but it’s also pretty chill and comfortable, made to be moving around in their workroom or working outdoors. lots of basic light-weight short sleeve shirts or button-ups, pants w lots of pocket space, overalls, tool belts, etc. if they dress fancier it’s pretty basic and streamlined, look-wise, nothing very flashy or fancy unless it’s the holidays and someone makes them.
5. do they like makeup/nail/beauty trends?
not at all, that’s a lot of extraneous effort they’re not willing to put in, esp since they dont necessarily see a lot of other people regularly
E: External Personality1. does the way they do things portray their internal personality?
pretty much, yeah. lael doesn’t see the point in trying to put on a nice face for anyone else. they’re a little softer than they appear on the outside tho.
2. do they do things that conform to the norm?
they dont care much about the norm, but they’ll go along with some stuff for the sake if it being easier (although it’s not common for them). they always tend to grate against norms a little bit in general tho
3. do they follow trends or do their own thing?
do their own thing. they’ve always been something of an outsider, even in their own community, so they don’t see the value in trying to follow what others are doing.
4. are they up-to-date on the internet fads?
the internet doesnt exist but. no. they dont really follow fads or trends outside of their own fields, where they keep up with trends but ultimately follow their own ideas.
5. do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it out on their own?
in some ways, yes-- they tend to broadcast their own aggressiveness and weirdness so that people know what they’re about and stay away if they’re not interested. other stuff they let people find out on their own, esp emotional soft spots and their occasional gentleness, etc
F: Fun1. what do they do for fun?
science! studying bugs and stuff. and they like gardening a lot, and doing science on the plants. when they were younger they went out more and also participated in some robot-fighting circles in their spare time.
2. what is their ideal party?
they’d think back to the days when they lived in gelt and there were some wild parties with fellow magitechnicians their age– nowadays they’d like something a bit more chill, but a good party for them would entail hanging out and drinking with other people/friends in their field
3. who would they have the most fun with?
mostly old school friends
4. can they have fun while conforming to rules?
not really, no– they dont have to break the law, but they’re always going to rub up against restrictions. everything is more fun when you have room to explore and make a little bit of trouble

nope, they live out in the country and spend a lot of time working. they went out more often when they were young, though

those high cheekbones!!
2. what is the most attractive part of their personality?
their passion! when they care about something they Care, and it can be a little bit infectious
3. what benefits come with being their friend?
long intellectual conversations & having a friend that will 100% fight for you if you’re close enough
4. what parts of them do they like and dislike?

those moments when they’re working and finally Get something or know exactly how something needs to work

not really, no
2. have they ever thought about homicide?

they would at least seriously consider it, and it’d be either their ex or whoever fucked gil up so badly
4. who would miss them if they died?
their family, a few friends

L: Lemons1. what is their favorite fruit?
they enjoy citrus but rarely get their hands on it, living in a more temperate climate. otherwise they like sour apples a lot! and blackberries

M: Maternal1. would they want a daughter or a son?
they don’t want kids
2. how many children do they want?
zero
3. would they be a good parent?
no, they’re too obsessed with work to take care of anyone else
4. what would they name a son? what would they name a daughter?
not only do they not want kids but they are notoriously bad at naming anything and should not be allowed to do so to an actual child.
 5. would they adopt?
nope.
N: Never Have I Ever1. what would they never do? 
i don’t think they could ever like.... willingly submit to someone else? whether that be a god or a ruler or a boss. they might go along with them in some circumstances but they could never be truly devoted to someone above them
2. what have they never done that they want to do?
3. is there anything they absolutely can’t believe people do?
kind of related to #1, they think it’s wild that people follow others w/o any questioning or thinking about it for themself. even w stuff as small as w/ reading a science book-- if lael has the ability to test something out for themself they will before they trust someone else’s perspective
4. what is the most embarrassing thing they’ve done?
once tried to impress a crush by giving them a bug. it did not go well.also that one time that they got a drunken tattoo (altho i dont think they regret it-- they just don’t show it off)
5. have they done anything they thought they’d never do?
lael never really thought of themself as the type to be a teacher, so the fact that they want to and are going to try to teach some stuff to arabella is unexpected for them, even if they themself suggested the idea
O: Optimism1. are they optimistic or pessimistic?
i think they alternate depending on the situation? they tend to be pessimistic when it comes to people and their motives, but optimistic in regards to progress/science/their own work
2. are they openly optimistic, throwing it on others?
they aren’t very openly optimistic, it only really shines through when they start talking about the future of magitech or some shit
3. are they good at giving advice?
not at all! unless it’s help with a project, then maybe. dont go them to them for personal advice though-- most of the good advice they have is just verbatim from other people
4. is there anyone in their life that throws optimism on them?
their parents, esp their dad, are much more optimistic about things
5. were they always optimistic?
they’ve always been pretty optimistic about certain things, like magitech. but they learned pretty young to not be optimistic about others, and they became even more pessimistic in that area as time has gone on
P: Personality1. what is their best personality trait?
their intense love of knowledge and passion for their work
2. what is their worst personality trait?
they’re kind of an asshole and care very little about what others think of them, for better or worse.

dm quote: “Other magitechnicians admire their ingenuity and focus, Gil and their parents love their quiet dedication and the joy they take in their passions”
4. what of their personality do others envy?
the fact that they seem to care very little of others’ opinions of them
5. do they hate anything about their personality/about other’s personalities?
they tend to dislike others who are ‘fake’ and not straightforward with their intentions. as for themself, the fact that they do not have a lot of self control, ESPECIALLY when it comes to their shit taste in romantic partners
Q: Questions1. do they ask for help?
not often, if they can avoid it, but at the end of the day they’re more concerned w progress than pride
2. do they ask questions in class?
they’re the type of kid to ask too many questions in class, actually
3. do they answer questions that make them a little uncomfortable?
they might, but they’ll generally call out the other person for asking uncomfortable questions as well
4. do they ask weird questions?
very! they did moreso as a kid, they’ve developed SOME tact now
5. are they curious?
oh yeah they’re SUPER curious about stuff, but only when it’s in their field of interest (ex: they dont care much about gossip at all, not when cool bugs exist)
R: Rules1. do they follow rules?
only when it benefits them or it aligns with their own beliefs.
2. would they be a strict or laid-back parent?
they would… not be a parent. but if they were, a fairly distant and laid back one.
3. have they ever been consequenced for breaking a rule?
almost definitely, but mostly stuff like “taking worms inside the house” or “getting in fights w others” (rarely) or generally being a weird chaotic shit as a kid. they break less rules now but mostly bc they care about keeping their job
4. have they broken any rules they now regret breaking?
hm. i don’t think so. they’re not the type to have many regrets.
5. do they find any rules they/others follow absolutely ridiculous?
they have Thoughts about some Taliare rules that limit magitechnicians and impede progress. they also have issues w bureaucracy in general
S: Streets1. are they street-smart?
they are generally pretty good at reading others and judging their intentions, but they’ve def focused more attention on book-smarts
2. would they give money to someone on the streets?
honestly? probably not, but more out of not wanting to interact with strangers than any sort of malice
3. have they ever gotten in a fight on the streets?
realistically absolutely yes, once as a kid and one or two times when they were going through their first round of magitech school.
4. has anything happened to them on the streets?
they probably got pickpocketed once or twice in gelt
5. are they cautious when out?
only a bit, but they’re very capable of protecting themself if it comes down to it (they’ve got a knife! and magic!)
T: Truth1. are they honest?
on principle, and sometimes to a fault
2. can they tell if someone is lying?
usually yeah, they can get a good read on others
3. is it obvious when they’re lying?
they rarely lie they, so they don’t have a ton of practice at it, and i think someone who knows them well or is pretty intuitive they’d be able to pick up on it
4. have they lied about anything they regret lying about?
i don’t think they lie enough for this to be the case? it’s mostly white lies if anything
5. have they told truths that have been spread against their will?
nope, not really.
U: Underdog1. have they been bullied?
when they were younger, yes. partially bc of being a half elf in an almost entirely human town (which made them a very easy target) and partially bc they were just a weird fucking kid
2. have they bullied anyone?
they’ve been MEAN to people but not actively bullied anyone. they did break a kid’s nose once but he deserved it.
3. have they been physically attacked by a bully?
i dont think so, i think it was more teasing and ostracism. any physical attacks were pretty mild or on their possessions. i think once someone tried to get physical but they were scared off by the only other non-human in town (besides lael’s dad), an older half-orc boy named Cyrus, and they never tried to attack lael again.
4. have they ever been doubted?
i mean, yes almost definitely, altho i cant give u an example
5. have they surprised people with being good at something?
i feel like when they were young and first showed talent w magitech they surprised some ppl. also, when they lived in gelt i think the fact they knew so much about nature and medicine was unexpected to ppl who just met them, but for anyone who knew them well it wouldnt be surprising at all
V: Vomit1. do they vomit often?
not really, unless they’re sick
2. do they get lots of stomach aches?
not really, they dont eat particularly out-there food and their stomach isnt overly sensitive

they like to be in a place they’re comfortable, like home, and with people that Get them, w like a nice blanket, and more physical affection than usual.
5. do they burp, cough, or hiccup most when nauseous? when vomiting?
i do not know or care
W: Water1. do they drink enough water?
they probably forget while they’re working. their mom gets on them about this when they come home tho
2. have they learned to swim?
probably only the very basics, they dont live around any large bodies of water so they’re not super proficient
3. do they like to swim?
not really
4. can they dive?
o def not
5. can they swim without holding their nose?
i would hope so?

2. do they have a favorite song?
again, not modern day so idk
3. do they have a favorite band/artist/singer?
not in-game, but they’d probably be very into all sorts of weird electronic music and lo-fi stuff that mixes ‘real’ sounds, like snail’s house
4. can they sing well?
oh no they’re not very good at it at all
5. can they rap?
….probably not
Y: You1. how old were you when you created them?
21! i made them this year
2. what inspired you to create them?
i figured if i was gonna play a character in a magitech universe i wanted them to be related to that in some way. basically they were created with the idea of “i want to play a character with a robot arm” and literally their entire backstory and personality is descended from that fact. 
the other thing is that i was learning about biomimicry-technology in german class and i thought it’d be cool to have an engineer character that very much loved and was influenced by nature
3. were they different when they were first created?
oh i first thought that their personality would be more stoic and distant, but in reality the most core thing about their personality is how fucking passionate they are about things
4. do you enjoy writing them more than other characters?
again, i dont really love playing one character more than others, i just love them for different reasons! but lael is particularly fun to play because it’s fun to not worry much about coming off as “nice” to others, and also I Love Magic. it’s also fun to play someone so passionate about their studies and work bc i can channel myself into that!
5. what’s your favorite thing about them?
man honestly it’s that aforementioned passion that they have for what they do, and their endless curiosity about how things work and how to make them better
Z: Zebra1. what’s their favorite animal?
spiders!!! they love creepy crawlys and bugs in general though
2. do they like animals?
yes but more in a scientific way than a ‘wants to have a lot of pets’ way. and it’s generally more reptiles/insects/arachnids than furry animals
3. cats or dogs?
cats
4. what’s their dream pet?
a tarantula! or a cool lizard
5. do they have any pets at the moment?
nah, but they have plants

Sincere (Jared x Reader)
Requested by @jaredflyingsolo : “I know you’re my fake prom date, but I really need a good Instagram picture”
Warnings: cussing, mentions of sex, fluff I guess
w/c: 1298 (it’s actually kinda long whoa)
A/N: I tried to make it gender neutral but if I slipped up lemme know. Idk I just had a lot of fun with this idea. I’ve been really busy but hoping to get all requests done by tomorrow!
You had never really expected to go to your senior prom, and you had definitely by no means thought you’d be going with that annoying kid, Jared Kleinman, from your advanced bio class, but yet here you were. 
When Jared had first come up to you to ask you to prom, you had every intention of saying no. I mean you couldn’t care less about the trivial aspects of school life such as dances and football games. Why would you?
However, after he explained that his friend bet him one hundred and fifty bucks he couldn’t get a date to prom in the next ten minutes, and you were the only person who he knew near them that didn’t yet have a date, and he would pay for everything except your outfit and split the money with you, you had a little change of heart. 
Being Jared’s fake prom date was more exhausting as you first thought, since about ten people had come up to you during the week after to see if it was really true, plus you had to go shopping for formal attire (since this was the only thing Jared wouldn’t pay for). 
That seventy-five dollars seemed less worth it each day you kept up the act of actually wanting to date that kid, but you bore through it knowing your nearly empty wallet would thank you later. 
The day before prom Jared had explained to you how everything would work behind the school during your lunch period. He would pick you up at six sharp, then take you to dinner with his friend and their date, which he would pay for, and then to prom where you would hang out with him for at least part of the night. It seemed like a solid plan to you; you were mostly just looking forward to the free food. 
On prom night itself, Jared picked you up exactly when he said he would and actually took the effort to walk up to and knock on your door. 
“Wow, you um, you look…” Jared stuttered, looking you up and down. “Strange? You didn’t have to say anything for me to know that. Let’s go,” you sighed. 
“I was- I was going to say you look beautiful.” Jared mumbled with a small blush. 
“Ha nice once wise guy. More compliments and you actually might get somewhere tonight,” you winked at him, then stopped. “Wait, were you serious?” 
“Yeah…” Jared said. “You ass doesn’t look half bad in that too.” He smirked and walked towards his car, opening the door for you. 
“There’s the Jared I know and love,” you muttered, getting in the car and preparing for a long night. 
“Wait! Sorry really quick, I know you’re my fake prom date, but I really need a good Instagram picture.” 
You rubbed your temples with a quiet, “Jesus fucking Christ,” before getting out of the car to smile for a picture with Jared. You quickly got back into the car and slammed the door, already annoyed within the first five minutes of your fake date.
Dinner was mostly boring, except for the parts when Jared’s friends was talking to you guys about his job at the animal shelter. Him and his date seemed to be having a really good time; they held hands all throughout the meal. You almost envied them in a weird way, but you would never admit that to Jared. You just smiled your way through the dinner, enjoying your chicken, pasta, and endless breadsticks significantly more than Jared. 
Now however you were at the actual dance, and you finally had a chance to get away from Jared and mingle with some of your real friends. Jared made you promise not to tell them it was a fake date until after his friend paid up, so all your friends kept grilling you on how he was. You just lied and said he was great, just like you had at dinner. 
“Hey, babe, do you want to have this dance with me?” The voice of Jared came from behind you as a hand intertwined with yours. Your friends all giggled and waved goodbye as Jared dragged to the dance floor before you could even utter a response. 
“Fucking hell Jared I was in the middle of something.” 
“Yeah, but it’s a slow song and you promised to spend some of your time with me, remember?” You grunted in response. “I’m really not that bad, you know,” he added with a smirk. 
“Sure.” You wrapped your arms around Jared’s neck, to which he pulled back, looking shocked. “I thought you wanted to dance idiot. It’s not like I bite or anything.” 
“That’s a shame because I tend to think biting really does make for more fun in bed.” Jared wrapped on of his hands around your waist and another around your neck, pulling you closer. You put your arms back in their original position. 
“You’re not even getting first base tonight, what makes you think you’ll get that far.”
“We’ll see,” Jared smirked. “Why are you so against this by the way? I like to think that plenty of people would love to have all this for free-” he lifted his arm away to gesture to himself, “-yet you will barely do it for money.” “Maybe stop being an asshole?” 
“Oh I like feisty girls.” Jared winked and you suppressed a laugh, which surprised you a little. When did you start finding him funny?
“That’s what am talking about. Have you ever thought about being sincere, even once, in all of your lifetime?” 
“That right there is some bullshit. Darling, must I remind you of earlier tonight when I called you beautiful and, someone, just wouldn’t accept that?” You thought back and realized he was right, and you blushed just a little. Unfortunately, Jared saw it. “Did you just blush?” 
“Wha-what no!” You attempted to defend yourself but your blush deepened. You cursed internally at yourself for having no control over it. 
“You just did it again! You fucking blushed!” Comprehension spread across his face. “Oh my god you’re totally falling for me! I knew it would happen of course I mean who could resist me but I mean it’s so fast and only over one compliment? But hey no judgment I would fall for myself just as-”
You cut him off by placing a firm kiss on his lips, against which he froze before kissing back, passionately. Your hands that were looped around his neck rose to his hair and his hands went to your back, pulling you closer until no space was between you. 
You only pulled away when you heard a wolf whistle coming from someone around you and you remembered that you were still in the middle of the dance floor. 
“Damn. You must really like me.” Jared commented, not even looking slightly embarrassed. 
“Oh shut up. Let’s get the hell out of here and go have some real fun.” You laced your hand in Jared’s and headed towards the exit. 
“So… can this be a real prom date now?” Jared asked when you got to the car. You laughed. “Yes Jared. But you better still fucking pay me.” 
“Fine, but only because I want to.” You rolled your eyes, getting into the car’s back seat. 
“What was that you were saying earlier about not this far…” Jared teased, sliding into the car next to you and closing the door. 
“Fuck off,” you laughed, pulling Jared into a kiss. “Oh, and I was lying about the biting.” 
His face turned bright red and you laughed again, smiling into his lips. 
You might not have guessed this was how you’d spend your prom, but you’d be damned if you didn’t love how it turned out.

recent media consumption summary time
could’ve sworn the last one was only two weeks ago but apparently it was three. sorry for becoming unmoored from the passage of linear time
listening: you know when you use a song lyric as a fic title and then you get that song stuck in your head for the next week? anyway Whirlpool by Sea Wolf sure is a song that I enjoy and also have had stuck in my head for a week. I feel like I should have smarted musical things to say here but I like Sea Wolf, they’re nice to listen to, they’re sad man with guitar music without being identical to every other sad man with guitar band
reading: finished my reread of Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo, and my main thought this time around is that I love Kaz with my whole entire heart. also love a good multi-layered heist scheme. also also Wylan/Jesper is cute but I do think they don’t get nearly as much relationship development as the two m/f couples and like, I really like these books but that is very much a trend especially in sff YA these days
also finished Lord Seventh (Qi Ye) by Priest and. god I love the characters so much. a friend group can just be a bunch of horrible gay people pining for each other and betraying each other in order to save each other’s lives. extremely tasty. also,
Tumblr media
(I would say that missed opportunity is my one complaint but like. my actual main complaint is that as much as I love the characters, I think that if the racism in your text is blatant enough that I, a white american with very little knowledge of the specific racial coding happening can pick up on it, then it’s uh. probably pretty blatant and that’s Not Great)
also did some pride month impulse purchases at my local indie bookstore, including Molly Knox Ostertag’s The Girl from the Sea, a lesbian selkie graphic novel, which did so many things to my heart. first of all the art is so pretty
Tumblr media
second of all, I too have been lonely and starting to realize that I’m gay while living in a beach town with a summer tourism economy, drifting apart from a friend group that I didn’t feel like I was part of and wishing I was literally anywhere else even though I loved the ocean. third of all, gay selkies
also read The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon which I enjoyed even though I am definitely not the target audience for first person present tense novels, even if those novels are portal fantasies about fae power struggles and arranged marriages. I really enjoyed the three main characters and their relationships, and the worldbuilding was fun, though the twist at the end (and lots of parts of the ending tbh) felt a little bit abrupt to me. also, and this is a personal thing, but someday I would love to read a fantasy novel with a transmasc character that actually feels like it reflects my experiences. I guess that’s part of the problem with looking for this in YA, but that’s where I tend to see transmasc protagonists so here I am. anyway, valid for anyone but especially trans teens to want to read a narrative about someone being loud and open about their identity but that’s not my experience. which I think is why I tend to construct my own trans narratives around characters who like, aren’t canonically trans but have themes about lying and hiding and being defensive about their image because *that’s* a trans experience I actually relate to.
I’ve started In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens, which is not a book I intended to buy but 1) look at the cover
Tumblr media
2) I am weak for gay people on the sea. it’s fun so far, I’m not expecting any sort of in-depth anything about royal power but it’s cute and light and I’m having a good time. my main complaint is again a personal thing, which is not actually a complaint about the book itself and more about twitter discourse about how there should never be homophobia in sff that takes place in different worlds and how we’ve had enough of that so everything should take place in a world where it’s fine and normal to be queer. and again, that’s fine! I do enjoy books like that! I am currently enjoying a book like that! but again, I have a harder time relating to characters whose queerness isn’t mediated by fear the way mine is (this book sidesteps that by making the main character a very anxious person, which helps increase the relatability, but also. there’s this whole thing about how people distrust him and there are rumors about his ~perversion and yeah it’s about his secret hidden magic but. felt very weird to have that set-up and then not have homophobia play any part in the way other people talk about him, y’know? like please, stigmatized magic as a parallel for stigmatized sexuality is Right There)
watching: finished Nirvana in Fire and am having lots of normal and moderate emotions about it. belongs in my mental categories of “media I want to consume over and over again and take it apart and figure out how to write like that” and also “things I want to rewatch when I have enough energy to appreciate it” because I do think if I weren’t so tired these days I could’ve tried to have predictions instead of waiting for the characters to explain their plans to me, as much as I do love it when attractive people smirk at the screen and monologue about their schemes
also watched most of Castlevania season 4 (I have 3 episodes left) and it’s. well. it’s not Good but it’s a lot better than season 3. however, I only care about a few of the plotlines and everything else is kinda boring. I like Alucard’s plotline and I like Greta and I liked the two scenes where Hector and Isaac interacted and I liked the vampire lesbians deciding that being gay was more important to them than doing war crimes. cannot be bothered to care about anything else though, especially St. Germain. more importantly, Alucard’s new look fucks. love the whole cape + tits out thing.
Tumblr media
finally got around to watching the end of the first season of Elementary and once again, I enjoy it when people explain complicated plans to me. love a good mystery. also, predictably, I’m in love with Moriarty. her first two dates with Sherlock are about art forgery and Roman artifacts in the London sewers, how was I supposed to *not* fall in love with her. also every time she interacts with Joan after the reveal has extremely homoerotic energy. ladies is it gay to become psychosexually obsessed with a woman who outplotted you
also, very importantly, my roommate realized I’d never seen Tsubasa OVAs, and they sure are an experience. I read the entire manga in like two days in a fugue state last winter and remember very little of the plot of the second half of the story, so the second OVA which is like. a random section of the late plot was kind of a lot to try to process at once, though I do appreciate one of the main ships doing a Gift of the Magi thing except instead of selling treasured possessions to get each other gifts they’re sacrificing parts of themselves. however the first one is my favorite arc, because it should not surprise anyone that the post-apocalyptic vampire arc is my favorite. also, I don’t need to remember the actual plot to remember and appreciate how much of an Eliot-core character Fai is. look at him. prettyboy ice wizard pretending to be flirty and performatively useless to hide his trauma. also he’s a vampire. he sets off the cosplay and gender envy parts of my brain so much
Tumblr media
playing: nothing new since last time, just more Tidepools and Beam Saber. maybe someday I will play a video game again
making: got to cook for just the two of us last week instead of having to find something that everyone would eat, so Zan and I finally got to make chicken marsala from this recipe and it was extremely good. next time we’re gonna double the mushrooms though I think, the recipe didn’t make quite enough compared to the amount of chicken
Tumblr media
someday I will make non-food things again but unfortunately, when most of your energy has to go to either cooking and cleaning for other people or trying to get other people to cook and clean,
writing: posted three new fics: the Persona selkie AU, the Nirvana in Fire miserable sapphic makeout fic, and a slice-of-life Persona fic for an exchange, and worked on a couple of other things that are still secret for zine reasons

Art F City: Friday Links: Dietary Restrictions of Warhol Thieves Remain a Mystery
Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today. ❤️
A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Jul 13, 2017 at 10:10pm PDT
Thieves have made off with seven out of ten 1968 Warhol soup can paintings on display at the Springfield Art Museum in Missouri. The burglars made off with  beef, black bean, chicken noodle, vegetable, green pea and onion cans, and tomato soup. Curiously, they left behind the pepper pot, the cream of mushroom and the consomme (beef) cans. The FBI is now investigating, and I hope they get to the bottom of why the thieves are so picky about their soup flavors. Gluten sensitivity? [The Wichita Eagle]
A video of scenes in films inspired by paintings. Who knew that infamous shot of Scarlett Johansson’s butt in Lost in Translation was inspired by a John Kacere? [Facebook]
A new art space in Cleveland, Gordon Square Art Space, is offering a residency that includes a $5,000 stipend. [Cleveland.com]
AFC has long been fans of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, but this year’s antics may be the best ever. Michael Phelps, winner of 23 Olympic gold medals and holder of 39 world records will race a great white shark! Don’t get too excited—they couldn’t engineer a side by side race—but apparently there was cause at some point for a hammerhead shark to be about six inches from the swimmer’s face. Anyway, tune in July 23rd for this feat of marketing genius. [Yahoo News]
Envy read: check out this art collector’s home in Beverly Hills. A fun game is trying to identify the artworks in the slideshow. I love that someone heinously wealthy has a Barbara Kreuger that says “Don’t be a jerk”. [Dezeen]
Beyonce finally announced the existence of her twins yesterday over instagram. Of course, the announcement came in the form of a photo by artist Awol Erizku. He produced the pregnancy announcement photo as well, but this one is more complicated and the better photograph. She’s draped in pink and blue indicating the gender of the twins Carter and Rumi on a Rococo type set adorned with flowers. Naturally, she looks amazing. [Jezebel]
Hollywood actors can be such jerks. When Kevin Broccoli (yes, that’s his real name) announced his two-man play “James Franco and me” he thought the actor might mention it or come to see it. Instead the writer received a cease and desist letter. Now that the show is coming to New York it’s had to be renamed “______ and Me”. Also, Broccoli, who played the “me” in the play will no longer be playing himself. So, basically the whole thing has been compromised. Apparently the dispute is not over. We’re rooting for Broccoli. [The New York Times]
This is a sad, weird story. Barney Smith’s Toilet Seat Art Museum in San Antonio, which contains 1,200 toilet seats decorated by the artist, is being auctioned off. Smith is aging and can’t keep the museum open due to dementia. His family is hoping his life’s work goes to a good home. This seems like something the American Visionary Art Museum should acquire. [MySA]
Roberta Smith takes on the unenviable task of seeing the sprawling Condo New York network of visiting galleries. This is more of an events listing than it is a review, but useful nonetheless as it identifies highlights. This looks good, and we hope it becomes an annual event. [The New York Times]
A Los Angeles woman destroyed $200,000 worth of artwork at the gallery The 14th Factory by backing up while taking a selfie. Some claim this is a publicity stunt by the artist, Simon Birch, whose exhibition was the scene of the crime. [Metro]
John Gerrard’s recent show at Simon Preston Gallery features a hyper-realistic computer simulation of a frog floating on a space station. It’s a commission from the Wellcome Trust, which encourages discourse between medicine and art. The story of the piece is really interesting—it was generated by video game codes, with some artistic liberties taken in regards to the physics of it all. [artnet News]
