Okay I’m still in quilt mode and will be for at least two more days (one day to finish the halloween quilt, one day to finish the orange quilt top) but it’s like almost halfway through May and I haven’t even started making pride plushies Are there any pride plushies or flags you’d like to see for pride month this year? I make no guarantees, but I do try to make as many requested plushies as I can. A request is not an obligation to buy the plushie, I just need inspiration

► BIOGRAPHY
TW; Abortion mention, Alcoholism mention
Adana, Turkey, seems like a fairytale to Nadia now. Once the place she called home, she now can only recall fighting pretend dragons with her father in the rose garden in the back of their cottage. Her father is an accomplished psychiatrist whilst her mother? Well, she was a yoga instructor. Yoga was a constant in Nadia's life, whether she liked it or not. Lucky for her mother, she was enthralled with being able to do cool positions; her mother liked that it helped her hyperactivity as well. From yoga being the start of the day with her mother, to unpacking the day at the end of the evening with her father, mindfulness and wellness was always a part of the Aydin household. Maybe that's what made her so alluring to those who were broken. She always seemed to attract those who needed pick-me-ups; Her best friend suffering from a poor home life and a teen pregnancy that Nadia assisted in bringing her to the abortion clinic at 13. Or there was this boy she was head over heels for that couldn't quite put the bottle down, but he managed to whenever he saw her frown. Nadia thought she was meant to help people. When it came to going to university, she went for Liberal Arts/General Studies to try to figure out where on Earth she belonged. She wound up going with what fascinated her and worked her way into NYU's BA program for Astrophysics when she was 21. Though, it still didn't feel right. She realized that she spent most of her life helping and pleasing others, that she genuinely didn't know what she wanted out of life besides being happy. It was on a whim that she saw the job positing to be a flight attendant, came back to NYC, and she loves it. Not only does it involve helping others, but it gives her the opportunity to experience the world and discover herself.
► PERSONALITY (DEEP DIVE)
Nadia is a ball of sunshine - that little shot of espresso of a person. She never fails to make someone smile, and goes out of her way to make at least 5 people laugh a day. She falls in love at the drop of a hat. No joke. Like, if someone is nice to her, she's suddenly picturing painting their future kitchen yellow together. So, just be warned. But, she can be a bit flighty, and because of her personality of seeing the good in others, she lacks the ability to weed out those who may have ill intentions. She loves to dance, and if you were to walk into her apartment she would most likely be jamming to music whilst cleaning. She loves to garden, but kills everything she touches. She can play a bit of the piano and some guitar by ear. She loves art and dancing in the rain. Very manic pixie dream girl, but will very much break your heart with her boredom. She's just plagued with restlessness and she just will never 'settle' - at least, that's how she feels currently. In actuality, it's just that she's had so many people come and go that she doesn't think anyone would stay so she leaves first. Nadia is super loyal in the friendship vein and makes a great friend to either go out or stay in. She is also amazing at keeping secrets, unless she bought a gift... Then good luck, she's blabbing about what she got. But, she's always there for someone in need. This can be a stranger, to someone who is cruel to her; If someone needs help, she will do everything in her power to help them. Sundays is her designated charity day where she goes ad volunteers out in the community. She's just the sun personified, okay?

Hero, Vol.1 - Chapter One: The First Day of the Rest of Your Life
You soar over the ruins of Northbridge and touch down amidst the wreckage of shattered skyscrapers.
Alert: Where are you?! Come and face me!
A figure rises out of the smoke and fire, wreathed in chaotic energy.
Voice: I’m not hiding. You’re the one who’s hiding. You’ve been hiding all your life.
Alert: Time to shut you up!
Voice: How can you possibly hope to defeat me when you don’t even understand what you truly are? You haven’t even begun to comprehend the power within you.
Alert: Maybe so… but I know enough to finish this.
Voice: No, this is not the end… soon you’ll realize that this is only the beginning!
Six months earlier…
Your sleepy eyes focus on the time, after shutting your buzzing alarm off.
Alert: I’m late! I am very, very late!
You leap out of bed and throw open your closet doors.
Alert: This could be the biggest day of my career… I need to look great…
You rummage around in your closet and settle on a basic blue number.
Alert: That’ll do, I guess…
Dressed for work, you leave your apartment and sprint to the train station.
Alert: C’mon… don’t leave without me!
Just as you reach the platform, the train doors close shut--
Alert: No! No! Wait!
You watch helplessly as the train barrels away from the station, leaving you behind.
Alert: Of all the days to be late to work, why did it have to be today?
After waiting around for the next train, you finally arrive at Prescott Industries. The tall, glass skyscraper gleams brightly in the morning sun. As you walk toward the building, you hear someone call your name. You turn around to see Poppy Patel hurrying toward you with two iced lattes.
Poppy: Alert! Wait up!
Alert: Poppy? What are you doing here?
Poppy: Bringing you an iced latte to kickstart your big day, of course! You’re gonna need it now that you’re in charge of planning the biggest social event of the season! Speaking of which… you didn’t happen to snag your favorite person in the whole world an invite, did you? You said last week that you would try to get me in to the big gala at Prescott Industries tonight.
Alert: So, this latte comes with a few strings attached, huh?
Poppy: No! Well, maybe a little bit… but you will try to get me in, won’t you? All the best and brightest and most fashionable people in Northbridge will be there. When Prescott Industries unveils a new technology, that’s major.
Alert: Not just major. Silas Prescott said his new invention would ‘change the world as we know it’...
Poppy: And… what is it?
Alert: No clue. I work for Grayson Prescott, not his father, remember? I’m dying to know what the invention is just like everybody else.
Poppy: Speaking of Grayson, the handsome, charming heir apparent… You could ask him to invite me, couldn’t you? I’m sure he wouldn’t say no to his favorite executive assistant! If I can get the inside scoop on the gala, I’ll be a shoo-in for the promotion to Motif’s Senior Fashion Editor. I neeeeed this, Alert.
Alert: I know, I know, Poppy. This is a big opportunity for me, too.
Poppy: Then get in there, do the best job you possibly can with the gala preparations, and Grayson will be so impressed he won’t say no to you! I promise I’ll find some way to pay you back.
Alert: You’re so gonna owe me. Like we’re not just talking one favor here. I’m thinking three at least, maybe as many as five.
Poppy: Ugh, why do I feel like I’m making a deal with the devil?
Alert: Hey, those are the terms. Take it or leave it!
Poppy: All right, all right… I hereby sign my soul over. Just… don’t forget to ask him, okay?
Alert: I promise I won’t. Now, I really should get to work. I’m late enough as it is… and so are you!
Poppy: Oh, don’t be silly. Being fashionably late is all part of the job!
You push through the glass doors and into the lobby of Prescott Industries, where Grayson Prescott confidently directs the gala preparations.
Grayson: Bring those tables through here. We’ll want to give our guests the best possible view at tonight’s unveiling…
Grayson turns and notices you enter.
Grayson: Alert, there you are! Just in the nick of time…
Alert: Sorry I’m late… somehow I managed to miss my train again.
Grayson: It’s all right. You’re here now.
Alert: I am. So, how are the gala preparations going, Mr. Prescott?
Grayson: Please, Alert, Mr. Prescott is my father. Call me Grayson. We did go to school together, after all.
Alert: All right, Grayson. Actually, I was hoping I could ask you something--
Just then, Marjorie Miles, Director of Operations, marches over, her eyes narrowed behind her thick-framed glasses.
Marjorie Miles: Hmph. About time you showed up, Alert.
Alert: It’s only a quarter past--
Marjorie Miles: Exactly. A quarter past the time you were supposed to be here. In other words, late. As for you, Grayson, your father wants a word. It sounded urgent.
Grayson: Thanks for letting me know. Alert, can you handle this on your own?
Alert: Uh… I think so?
Marjorie Miles: Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she doesn’t screw anything up too badly.
Grayson: I’m sure she won’t. See you later, Alert.
Alert: Good luck!
At Grayson heads for the elevators, Marjorie turns to look at you, her expression impatient.
Marjorie Miles: Tonight could be the most important night in this company’s history. Do you understand what that means, Alert? It means that it’s also the most important night of your otherwise unremarkable life. So, are you finally ready to do your job and help me?
Alert: Why don’t you try asking nicely?
Marjorie Miles: Okay, Alert… your choice. Do you want to tell Grayson that things here are going splendidly…. Or do you want to tell him your bullheaded unwillingness to assist me killed the mayor?
Alert: I feel like this escalated quickly…
Marjorie Miles: Two words: shell fish--
Alert: Technically, that’s one word, not--
Marjorie Miles: Shellfish allergy. The Mayor’s office waited until this morning to let me know that the Mayor is allergic to shellfish. In other words, we can’t serve the thirty pounds of ceviche de camaron we already paid for!
Alert: Okay, that’s a real problem. What can I do to help?
Marjorie Miles: I need you to call around and find something… not embarrassing to serve for an appetizer at the gala tonight. Do you think you can stop swiping or Pictalking or whatever you millenials do long enough to accomplish one task?
Alert: … Yes, I can do that.
You pull your laptop from your bag and start searching for caterers…
Fifteen minutes later…
Marjorie Miles: Well?
Alert: Let’s order tacos.
Marjorie Miles: Tacos?
Alert: It’ll be fun! We can hire a taco truck and let everyone build their own!
Marjorie Miles: Hmm… I suppose it would be memorable. Since you managed to produce a halfway-decent idea for the appetizer, what do you think we should do with all this ceviche?
Alert: I think we should dump it. Northbridge Bay probably has worse things in it. Besides it’s sort of like we’re putting it back where it came from?
Marjorie Miles: I’m not sure I follow your logic there, but… sure. If we can’t serve it, we may as well get rid of it. I’ll get some of our drivers on that ASAP. Congratulations on not screwing this up, Alert. Keep it up, and you might even be considered semi-competent someday.
Alert: I can’t wait.
Marjorie Miles: I’ll continue handling things here. In the meantime, I need you to check in with Dax in Engineering and Santiago in Security. Report back to Grayson once you’ve confirmed they’re ready.
Alert: Okay, got it.
Marjorie Miles: Then why are you still standing here? Chop chop!
A few minutes later, you step into the Engineering Lab to find it seemingly empty.
Alert: … Hello? Dax? Anybody here?
At the far end of the room, a curtain hides an enormous something from view…
Alert: (That must be the new technology Prescott Industries is unveiling at the gala tonight!)
As you step deeper into the lab, the floor beneath your feet begins to tremble gently.
Alert: (It’s supposed to be a secret, but Dax probably wouldn’t mind if I took a peek. I think…)
As you step toward the curtain, the trembling in the floor ramps up in intensity.
Alert: (What the…?)
Just them Dax Darcisse slides out from beneath a nearby computer console, pushing his goggles up onto his forehead.
Dax: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing, Alert?! You can’t just go touching things in here… for all you know, that could be highly radioactive!
Alert: Is it?!
You quickly retreat away from the curtain.
Dax: No, it’s not radioactive. But it could be, because… science! And besides, I’m still working the kinks out… I thought everything was fine, but somehow the XD917 crystalline array just activated all on its own.
Alert: Crystalline what-now…?
Dax: Um, did I say that? I meant ‘classified’. ‘Redacted’. ‘Under NDA’. ‘Bleep’!
Alert: Right. A secret. Anyway… Marjorie asked me to check on preparations for the unveiling tonight. Will you be ready?
Dax inspects the data visualizations streaming on a nearby console.
Dax: Huh, weird… things seem fine now… I’ve literally never seen that happen before. You’re not carrying any raw promethium around, are you?
Alert: Uh… not that I know of?
Dax: Yeah, didn’t think so. That is very, very strange. I’m going to run through the system diagnostics once more to be sure… but yeah. All systems green. As much as I understand it, anyway… only Silas knows what it’s supposed to do when the power’s turned on!
Alert: Wait, seriously?
Dax: Yep, I’m as stoked for the big reveal tonight as you are!
Alert: Okay…
You start toward the door and then turn back…
Alert: Actually, Dax, there’s one more thing…
Dax: Sure, what’s up?
Alert: I thought you might want to know there’s a chance that Poppy is coming to the gala tonight.
Dax: Oh, uh, really? Why would I want to know that?
Alert: You tell me. I was definitely getting a vibe when the three of us went out for drinks last week…
Dax: A vibe? What kind of vibe? From her or from me? I’m confused.
Alert: Yeah, I can see that.
Dax: I mean… she could never be interested in me like that… Could she?
Alert: Only one way to find out. Although I technically haven’t asked Grayson if I can invite her yet…
Dax: Well, just let me know, I guess… or don’t. Either way. Unrelated topic - should I wear anything special? What do you think about cologne? I mean, I don’t own any cologne. But I’ve got access to lots of chemicals. I could probably whip something up…
Alert: … What about the diagnostic?
Dax: Yes! Diagnostic! Top priority!
Alert: Exactly. See you later, Dax.
You head to the chief of security’s office, where Santiago Lupo eyes a row of security monitors. One has been tuned to the local news.
News: --string of brazen daylight robberies that have plagued the Northbridge jewelry district--
Santiago smiles as you walk over.
Santiago: Morning, Alert. You hear about all these armed robberies?
Alert: Sorry, I don’t really watch the news…
Santiago: Why not?
Alert: Too depressing. I don’t need that kind of stress in my life.
Santiago: Well, sure, but just because you’re not seeing it doesn’t mean it’s not happening…
Alert: Okay, then… why don’t you get me up to speed?
Santiago: Basically, this gang has been stealing diamonds all over the city, and the police are stumped.
Alert: That actually sounds pretty bad…
Santiago: Unfortunately, they’re hardly the worst this city has to offer. But don’t worry. I went over the security plans for tonight’s gala with Silas Prescott personally. The party’s gonna be great, but the security’ll be even better. You’d need an attack helicopter to punch you way through our defensive grid!
Alert: Isn’t that kind of… overkill?
Santiago: Hello no! No such thing in my book. Mayor Brady, District Attorney Katsaros… all the most important people in the city are going to be at Prescott Industries tonight. Nothing is going to happen on my watch!
Alert: I feel safer already.
After saying goodbye to Santiago, you take the elevator up to the second highest floor and step into Grayson Prescott’s office.
Grayson: Hey, Alert. Everything ready for tonight?
Alert: Yup. Everything’s taken care of.
Grayson: That’s good news… but I believe there was one more thing to discuss?
Alert: … There was?
Grayson: This morning, you wanted to ask me a question? What was it?
Alert: I… I have a friend who wants to come to the Gala tonight. She’s one of my best friends, and she’s a junior fashion editor at Motif. If we could put her on the guest list she’ll write something nice about the gala!
Grayson: I suspect my father’s announcement tonight will make for plenty of good publicity.
Alert: Oh, right…
Grayson: But there’s no need to sell me on her attending. She’s more than welcome to come.
Alert: Really?
Grayson: Really. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine. Now, am I mistaken, or is the junior editor you’re referring to Poppy Patel?
Alert: Yeah, that’s her!
Grayson: I remember you two were close in school. She’s more than welcome, but I have to say… I was devastated to see her article declaring that joggers were officially off-trend.
Alert: Oh. I’m sure they’d still work if you--
Grayson: I’m kidding, Alert.
Alert: Ahh. Gotcha.
Grayson: See you tonight?
Alert: Definitely.
That night, back at your apartment…
Poppy: EEEEEEEEE! I’m so excited! This is the swankiest social event of the entire year, and I actually get to go!
Alert: … Ahem.
Poppy: All thanks to my best friend, Alert, who I will definitely find some way to repay.
Alert: Better!
Poppy: I’ve been thinking about the gala for weeks, and I know exactly what I’m going to wear.
Poppy slips into the other room and emerges a few minutes later wearing a slinky dress.
Poppy: Ta-da! You don’t have to tell me I look fabulous, because I already know I do… Now, the important question. What are you going to wear?
Alert: Uh, I don’t know… I was thinking I’d just wear what I have on.
Poppy: … Alert, seriously? Listen, tonight’s going to be huge for you! If you want to move up in the world, you’ve got to look the part! Not to mention… you’ve been single for far too long, my friend. I’d say it’s high time we changed that!
Alert: Do you think there’d be anyone who’s my type there?
Poppy: Well, you never know, right? But you should at least dress up for my sake. You know… your best friend? Who helped you through so many hard times in college?
Alert: I seem to remember that the other way round… but okay, what do you suggest?
Poppy: I’m glad you asked.
Poppy digs through the clothes she brought over and pulls out a garment bag.
Poppy: I’ve been hanging onto this for a fashion shoot, but no one will notice if it goes missing for a night or two. Go ahead and try it on.
You step out of the room, change, and return a few minutes later.
Alert: Well, what do you think?
Poppy: Stunning. Simply stunning! Promise me you’ll wear that! … Or I guess you could just wear what you wore to work…
Alert: This gala is my work, Poppy. It might be all fun and games for you, but I’m on the clock.
Poppy: Well… still, I’m sure we can squeeze in a little fun. Are you ready to head out?
Alert: Ready.
You and Poppy arrive at the gala to find the Prescott Industries lobby awash in a sea of high-profile guests in gowns and tuxes. Uniformed waiters circulate with trays of appetizers and fluted glasses of sparkling champagne.
Poppy: I never thought I’d say this, but I’m feeling a little underdressed. This party is bougie as hell!
Alert: Tell me about it…
Dax: Hey, guys!
Poppy: Speaking of getting dressed up… nice to finally see you out of a labcoat, Dax.
Dax: It’s weird, right? I feel weird. I think I’m gonna go put it back--
Poppy: No, don’t! Seriously. You look good. And we already have one Prescott employee wearing their work clothes tonight…
Dax: Yeah, Alert, isn’t that the same outfit you were wearing earlier?
Alert: What is this, gang up on Alert day?
Dax: Sorry. I mean, you do look professional, so that’s something.
Poppy: And what about me?
Dax: You’re okay, I guess.
Poppy punches Dax in the arm.
Dax: Okay, okay, sorry! You look great.
Poppy: That’s better. C’mon, let’s go get some drinks. Next round’s on me!
Alert: But it’s an open bar…
Poppy: Details, details…
You and Dax trail behind Poppy on your way to the bar, hanging back just out of her earshot.
Alert: So… are you nervous?
Dax: Not at all. We’ve rigorously tested the, uh, device since this morning’s anomaly, and everything looks--
Alert: I meant Poppy, genius.
Dax: Oh, right. Do you really think she might be interested in me?
Alert: It’s too soon to tell.
Dax: Oh, yeah… that makes sense.
Alert: Don’t worry. These things take time, that’s all.
Dax: Right, totally.
The three of you cross the lobby, passing by District Attorney Meiko Katsaros and her son.
Meiko Katsaros: Kenji, I can’t believe this! You wait until now to tell me you’re dropping out of law school?
Kenji: Relax, Mom, I’ve got it all figured out. Can’t we just focus on enjoying the party?
Waitress: Excuse me, ma’am, sir. Here are you drinks.
Kenji: Finally! Bottoms up!
Meiko Katsaros: This conversation isn’t over, Kenji. Let me tip the waitress for these drinks, and we’ll-- That’s strange. I must’ve left my wallet at home.
Waitress: It’s quite all right, ma’am. No tip necessary.
As you reach the bar, Poppy taps your arm and points.
Poppy: Hey, Alert, look who it is…
At the far end of the bar, Grayson stands in a close circle with several businessmen and his father, Silas Prescott.
Silas Prescott: I gotta say, I’m glad you boys came to us with this opportunity. The Bayside neighborhood has been an unsightly blemish on our fair city for too long. It could use a little… redevelopment.
Grayson: Dad, I’m not so sure about this deal. Redeveloping Bayside would mean pricing long-term residents out of their homes. Where are those families supposed to go? The rent in this city is already at an all-time high.
Silas flashes an annoyed look at his son but quickly covers it with a laugh.
Silas Prescott: Gentlemen, you’ll have to forgive my son. He doesn’t quite have the killer instinct necessary to succeed in this business yet.
Grayson: Maybe I just don’t think life has to be a zero-sum game.
This time, Silas fails to cover his annoyance.
Silas Prescott: That’s what losers tell themselves. You think I got to where I am today by being soft?
Grayson: I… I think I need some air. Excuse me, gentleman.
Grayson takes his drink and heads upstairs toward the balcony, his father’s disapproving stare following his across the gala.
Dax: Wow. That was…
Poppy: Hard to watch. Yeah. Alert, it looks like Grayson’s in need of rescuing. Now’s your chance to be a hero!
Alert: It’s not my place.
Poppy: Well, then whose place is it? You’re his executive assistant!
Alert: I’m sure he’ll be okay. He deals with this sort of thing all the time.
You, Poppy, and Dax mill about the lobby for the next half hour, mingling with your Prescott Industries coworkers. Suddenly, a hush falls over the assembled guests as the music fades out…
Poppy: Ooh, is this the big announcement?
Alert: Shhh!
Everyone turns to watch as Silas Prescott descends the central staircase, holding the room’s attention without so much as a word.
Silas Prescott: Ladies and gentleman, it’s such an honor to see you all here tonight. Mayor Brady, District Attorney Katsaros… I hope you’re all enjoying my champagne.
A ripple of laughter passes through the crowd, and SIlas smiles indulgently.
Silas Prescott: But as many of you have probably guessed, I didn’t organize this little shindig just for the pleasure of your esteemed company. In fact… I have something incredible to show you. Something that will change the world as we know it.
The crowd chuckles pleasantly. Silas steps over to a large curtain on the far end of the room.
Silas Prescott: Please forgive my flair for the dramatic. I know the suspense must be unbearable, but I assure you… a discovery of this magnitude deserves and equally grand reveal.
The crowd goes quiet as Silas holds up an enormous pink crystal.
Silas Prescott: Twenty-five years ago, my… my late wife and I discovered this crystal on an archaeological expedition.
Poppy: … It’s beautiful!
Silas Prescott: Analysis revealed that this was no ordinary crystal. Its subatomic particles show a composition that defies quantum mechanics as we know it. So the brilliant scientists at Prescott Industries have spent the last twenty-five years writing new rules.
Alert: Dax, this is the secret project you were working on?
Dax: Just all the parts that required a handsome, young science genius.
Silas Prescott: This incredible discovery now powers a device we call… The Prism Gate.
Silas gestures and the curtain behind him raises… revealing a strange device with two curved pylons attached to a control panel.
Silas Prescott: The Prism Gate operates under its own power and provides access to a clean and inexhaustible energy source.
The crowd gasps.
Silas Prescott: You heard that right. Infinite, clean energy. An end to famine, to pollution, to inequality. Now… watch…
Silas places the crystal in a slot on the Prism Gate’s control panel, and the Prism Gare begins to resonate. A pink, otherworldly glow fills the entire lobby!
Silas Prescott: Ladies and gentleman… welcome to the future!
Just as the crowd erupts in applause, an explosion thunders from overhead! The overhead skylight bursts inward, showering the room with shards of glass!
Silas Prescott: What the hell? Security!
Santiago: Everyone, stay calm!
Four masked men carrying fully-automatic rifles rappel down into the lobby from the roof.
Criminal: Everyone on your knees. This is a robbery!
Lead Gunman: Nobody does anything stupid, nobody has to die! So pretty, pretty please… do something stupid!
Alert: Oh… Oh crap!

PROMPTS: gladnoctweek - kitty!noct (nyactis)
Pairings: Gladiolus Amicitia/Noctis Lucis Caelum Ratings: K+ Categories: Humor Warnings: Violence
Gladiolus isn’t feline well after the team’s latest scuffle with a Naga transforms Noctis into something nobody expects.
*Tap dances my way to doing this prompt all wrong for Day Five of @gladnoctweek* I also ended up doing the secondary prompt, but that response is queued for later today to keep from flooding the tags. 
Just some quick inspiration for this story: I think it’s kind of a popular opinion in fandom now, but credit to @demishock for sharing their headcanon with me about all of Gladio’s sneezing in-game being due to the big, beefy outdoorsman having (at least seasonal) allergies! They shared the observation with me first and I’ve since accepted it as truth, so I wanted to explore it here. 
My greatest heartfelt thanks also goes out to @glyphenthusiast for sharing all the laughter and comments on this story while editing it to the purrfection ya’ll see here today. <3
In her death throes the air was clouded by the Naga’s vestiges of magic. To Gladiolus' right, Prompto coughed and swatted the space in front of his nose. He only managed to spread the noxious-purple smoke around rather than disperse it.
Grabbing him by the arm, Gladiolus used the crook of his other limb to cover his mouth as he dragged Prompto to the edge of the Naga's circle of influence. Gladiolus didn't release him until they were safe from being cursed. Past his own hacking fit, Gladiolus managed to ask, "You okay?"
"Hnnng," Prompto said in response, bending at the waist. He sounded ready to hack up a lung or the contents of his stomach. Gladiolus patted him on the back. When Prompto didn't immediately drop dead he sought out their other companions.
"Roll call!" Gladiolus rasped.
Somewhere north of them, Ignis reported in. As the smoke finally cleared, Gladiolus saw him stumbling around, seemingly half-drunk. The lack of a certain prince's response had Gladiolus on alert. Ignoring his sore throat, he yelled, "Noct?"
Everyone sorted themselves out when they picked up on Noctis' absence, too. Shaking his head to re-orientate himself, Ignis turned in every direction; he checked high and low for any sign of their friend. Prompto cupped both hands around his mouth and called, "Croak if you can hear us, buddy!"
There came a reply, although it didn't originate from a human or an amphibian. A soft mewling echoed their frantic shouts. Gladiolus tore through the area as he tracked the origin of the noise, uncertain exactly where it was coming from. The Naga's body had yet to completely dissolve after its demise, so Gladiolus hefted her tail to permit Ignis and Prompto to search underneath.
"Gentle, gentle!" Ignis chided as Prompto coaxed a small, black bundle free of the wreckage. Gladiolus assumed it was a wad of gunk that had secreted from the daemon's remains, but no, when he dropped the Naga's body he saw how it took shape, even after Prompto wiped down the mound with the corner of his vest.
"Oh. Em. Gee!" Prompto swooned, cradling what turned out to be a fluffy and blue-eyed cat. "You've got to be kitten me, Noct! It is you, right?"
The cat yawned, evidence enough of who it was. During Prompto's cooing and awing, Ignis seemed perplexed while Gladiolus became apprehensive. The advisor leaned in, adjusting his glasses by the earpiece as he examined their miniaturized friend. "How curious. I'd noticed the variation in this particular foe, but who would have surmised that its repertoire would also be unique?"
"Right? But I'd rather a cat than a frog any day," Prompto said. Redirecting his attention to Gladiolus, who'd remained distanced from the group, he held Noctis toward the other man’s face. "What do you think, Gladio?"
Gladiolus balked at the sudden closeness. He opened his mouth to say something to the effect that he'd rather have Noctis sans sticky tongues, long tails, or any variations thereof. Except all that came out was a tremendous sneeze. At the onslaught Prompto clamped his eyes shut and stepped back, whereas Noctis had been in the direct line of the assault. Ears pressed flat against his skull, Noctis hissed and swatted a paw. He hit Gladiolus across the tip of his nose.
"Hey now!" Gladiolus said, clutching his face. His voice was muffled, although it became clear that it had nothing to do with the gesture, but how stuffed up his sinuses had become. "It's not my fault I'm allergic to His Royal Furriness!"
"Oh," Prompto said in acknowledgement. Then he did it again in realization. "Oh. Sorry, dude. I should have figured, what with your allergies and all…"
Prompto drew the cat back against his chest. Noctis must have felt constricted at the increased contact since he squirmed and yowled in protest, not so dissimilar to a motorcycle engine. To appease him, Prompto stroked under his chin. It wasn't clear if Noctis enjoyed the treatment; he might have been undecided himself because while he stopped his attempt at escape, Noctis kept making the noise deep in his throat.
Not that it was just Noctis' growls permuting the area. Gladiolus picked up on the disturbance, then Ignis. They inspected their surroundings, although it quickly became unnecessary. The daemons materialized smack dab in the middle of their group. One glowing, floating Bomb appeared, and another, and finally two more burst into existence at once.
Before Gladiolus could decide to summon his sword or his shield, an armful of pissed off fuzz and sharp fangs was shoved at him. He fumbled a moment, gathering Noctis by the scruff of his neck and holding him at arm's length. "Prompto, what— What am I supposed to do with him?"
"Come on, just for a sec? I need both hands free," he said, recalling his firearm and demonstrating his point by clutching the large gun. One hand was on the trigger and the other steadied the weapon. Gladiolus regarded Ignis for assistance, but the advisor was already fighting off some monsters with a dagger in each hand.
Cursing, Gladiolus transferred Noctis to his shoulder with gritted instructions to, “Hang on tight – no, not that tight, watch your claws!”
He settled on his shield, it flashing into place on his left arm. Gladiolus kept the other hand cupped over Noctis to keep him secured as he skirted the fight. It felt off not rushing in and designating himself as a threat, but Gladiolus refused to risk losing Noctis in the scuffle a second time. The potential for singed whiskers would be the least of their worries if that happened.
Fortunately, the others managed to distract the daemons well enough on their own. Once Prompto agitated a Bomb with an entire clip of ammo, Ignis unleashed an ice spell. What monsters he'd been chipping away at were disposed of in the same blizzard he generated to finish off Prompto's target. The last Bomb, sensing its impending demise, charged for the nearest victim to destroy with its deadly explosion.
Gladiolus was wide open. He tensed in anticipation. Instead of bracing to stop the monster, he side-stepped at the last possible moment. The daemon whizzed past him. Swinging around in the direction he'd turned, Gladiolus used his shield like a paddle to pummel the Bomb back the way it'd originated. It impaled itself on Ignis' spear, as he'd switched out his blades for distance, and ended the confrontation.
While Prompto cheered in victory, Gladiolus was busy trying to get Noctis to release his hold on him. The prince had slipped past his collar where Gladiolus couldn't reach him anymore; Noctis clung to the inside of his clothes. The back of Gladiolus' neck already itched something terrible and flushed with irritation.
Finally taking notice of Gladiolus' discomfort, Prompto asked, "Um, you all right there? Do you need some help—"
"Yes," he snapped, scrabbling at his back. "Get him off of me!"
"Okay, okay!" Prompto said, and approached him. He ducked as Gladiolus' flailing almost earned him an elbow to the eye. "Whoa, hold on!"
It took several attempts, but Prompto circled Gladiolus to nab him by the jacket. He shucked it up to reveal Noctis clinging to the underside of his shirt. For his trouble, Prompto earned a slash from Noctis’ claws when he went to retrieve him. He retracted his hand in time to keep from losing his fingers.
"Me-ouch! Noct, what's gotten into you?" Prompto asked.
"Leave him!" Ignis said, looking worriedly behind them. The sounds of more daemons spawning alerted them that another bout was imminent. "We have to find our camp or we'll never be rid of these fiends. Now hurry!"
"You're joking," Gladiolus seethed through his teeth (and maybe his watering eyes).
Ignis’ point became clear as an unnaturally large fist erupted out of the ground, signalling the arrival of an Iron Giant. Prompto tugged Gladiolus' shirt and jacket back down to secure Noctis in place. He pushed Gladiolus in the small of his back to urge him in the last direction they'd seen campfire smoke. "Come on, you heard him! Hup-two, hup-two, double time!"
They ran, Gladiolus resigned enough not to be told twice. The sooner they returned to camp, the sooner he could breathe easier. Literally.
Their group had been close to camp when they left the car at an abandoned parking lot. The desire for fresh red meat at dinner time had delayed them until nightfall. Their hunting had quickly turned them into the hunted as a Naga took advantage of them being outside the wards of their campsite.
Gladiolus covered that remaining distance in minutes.
He was the first one to see their refuge atop a small hill nestled by pine trees. As soon as he breached the glowing sigils, Gladiolus stripped. He ripped his jacket off completely and let it drop to his feet. His shirt came off next. Noctis still clung to the fabric, so Gladiolus wrapped him up in it like a burrito. The little shit had the audacity to purr at him for the gesture.
The other two of their group had lagged behind him during his mad dash to safety, but they caught up to him now. Prompto stumbled the last couple of steps, but whatever complaint he was going to voice morphed into laughter. Pointing, he said, "Oh man, look at your back!"
"What?" Gladiolus twisted around, trying to get a good look, but could only spot the etchings of his tattoo. "What is it? Better not be hives."
"No way, more like Noct used you as a scratching post. I can't believe this! The King's Shield, felled by a ten pound menace." Prompto gave him a hearty slap on the back, igniting the skin as he touched some of the aforementioned scratches. Gladiolus grunted, more out of annoyance than pain, as he barely registered the scrapes even after Prompto brought attention to the marks.
Ignis chuckled. "Noct certainly put you in your place, hm?"
"Yeah, yeah. Yuck it up you two." Sobering somewhat, Gladiolus offered Noctis to Ignis as he asked, "How long do you, uh, think he is going to be like this?"
"He should have reverted back by now," Ignis said, accepting the bundle. He examined Noctis, but no answers were forthcoming. "If Noct remains this way until morning, perhaps we should reach out to Dave. He or one of his hunters may have experienced something of this nature and can offer us insight."
"Right," Prompto agreed for all of them, then tiredly, "Bedtime? Not much else we can do."
Considering they'd been forced to abandon their food for the evening and their stores were depleted, dinner remained out of the question. There was a collective sigh as everyone came to the same conclusion. Sleeping was about all they could do.
"I'll keep watch tonight. No use for me being cooped up with the fur ball," Gladiolus volunteered, somewhat reluctantly. He didn’t mind the outdoors, but if given the choice he’d rather be within reach if Noctis needed him. In this form Noctis was next to defenseless. The prince wouldn’t be alone, however, so Gladiolus would have to settle for one evening.
He took a seat at the campfire while the others bid him goodnight and entered the tent. Hopefully the fresh air and some distance would alleviate his allergy symptoms. Gladiolus tilted his head back and massaged his temples, trying to ease the pressure.
It might have worked, too, if a couple hours later there wasn't something circling his legs. Gladiolus startled out of his doze and looked down to behold Noctis brushing against his ankles. Glancing in the direction of the tent, there didn't appear to be any activity coming from inside. Noctis must have snuck out from under Prompto's and Ignis' care without their noticing.
"Just gotta be contrary, don't you?" Gladiolus rumbled, still a little sleep addled. It'd figure that the one time Noctis was allowed a catnap, he wouldn't, just so he could annoy the one person most susceptible to him. He waggled his foot when Noctis sniffed and pawed at his bootlaces. The playing was a precursor to Noctis latching onto his leg and climbing into his lap like he owned the spot.
Despite his condition, Gladiolus gave Noctis a couple scritches along his back because damned if he wasn't a little cute like this. For Gladiolus' sacrifice, he earned a gentle headbutt to his chin. Noctis then used Gladiolus’ chest and shoulder like a springboard to continue upwards. Noctis attached himself to a tree at Gladiolus' back, clambering up to a branch that overhung their campsite.
"Don't think I'm coming up to get you if you get stuck," Gladiolus warned. He didn't know why he felt compelled to talk to Noctis in this form, but around his sniffling he did, anyway. It was unclear if the prince understood speech or that he was actually a person under all that black fur. The one time Gladiolus had been transformed by a Naga he didn't remember his time as a frog, but considering the alteration in forms maybe this was different, too.
Noctis peered down at him and gave a long, blank stare that ended in a slow blink. It struck Gladiolus as the same attention Noctis would have bestowed upon him regardless of being a feline or not. He wasn’t a talkative cat, either – same as his old human self. Maybe the prince did understand him like this.
"Heh. Suit yourself," Gladiolus said, managing to relax with Noctis in his sights, and let him be until the following day.
At the first signs of daylight, a surprised cry arose from inside the tent. There was a lot of shuffling, the material on the sides protruding as someone moved around. Ignis burst out the front, looking frenzied and unkempt as he looked around. Spotting Gladiolus standing nearby, holding a steaming cup of coffee, Ignis zeroed in on him.
"Gladio! I can't find Noct. Did you see him come this way?"
Wordlessly, Gladiolus motioned with his mug toward the spot Noctis had climbed earlier. Following his silent instruction, Ignis glanced up and found Noctis splayed across the tree branch. His face was squished into the bark and each limb splayed on either side, leaving the length of his body parallel to the wood.
Noctis was also distinctly human while lazing up there.
"How did he…how is he…? Hm." Ignis settled on covering the bottom portion of his face with a hand, pondering the sight.
"He changed back halfway through the night," Gladiolus explained, taking a sip from his coffee.
Somewhat delayed, Prompto exited the tent, having been woken up by Ignis' antics. His hair was in disarray and so were his clothes, but he stopped trying to correct his appearance as he spotted Gladiolus and Ignis staring at something. Flitting his gaze upwards, he watched Noctis for a drawn out beat. Prompto didn't even say anything as he tucked his hand into his pocket and gradually started to pull out his camera.
Ignis pushed the device away and said, "Don't you dare! We should be figuring out how to get him down from there, not taking pictures."
"Aw, come on…" Prompto whined, acting pained at being denied 'the shot of a lifetime'. Or so he claimed.
"Pft. I got this," Gladiolus said, handing Ignis his coffee to hold. Bewildered, Ignis couldn't do more than accept the drink and watch as Gladiolus did a couple stretches. He brought his right arm across his chest, holding it in place, and did the same to the opposite arm.
Then Gladiolus high-kicked the tree.
Hard.
Noctis listed to one side before tumbling off the tree branch and into Gladiolus' waiting arms. That wasn't enough to wake the prince, so Gladiolus gave him a light squeeze. Grumbling, Noctis peeked open an eye. The other opened up as both eyes went wide as he realized where, exactly, he was. "Huh…?"
"Good meow-ning, Noct," Prompto greeted.
"How are you faring?" Ignis asked straight-faced, for all appearances sincere until he added, "Perhaps you’re feeling a bit catty? Any lingering hissy fits?"
Bewildered, Noctis looked between the three of them, settling on Gladiolus as he mouthed 'what the fuck?' But oh, Gladiolus had his own form of payback planned. He’d had all night to contemplate the puns he was going to unleash on him, after all.

hey there! could you do 112 gen with hunk if you're still taking prompts please and thank you!
You are reading my mind anon! I was already halfway through another gen Hunk prompt when I got your message. But I am also of the firm opinion that you can never have too much Hunk.
So, have some fic!
(EDIT: this turned out longer than I expected. So have part 1 of 2. Enjoy!)
Prompt Fic: The Price of Freedom (Part 1)
Prompt #112: “Why are you bleeding?”
Voltron Legendary Defender
Notes: 5+1 format, set vaguely post season 4, gen, descriptions of blood and wounds, little bit of humour, little bit of fluff, little bit of action
(Part 2 here)
Also on Ao3
“Whoa! Hey, why are you bleeding?”
“Hm?” Hunk looked up from his recipe book (an actual book with paper-like pages, homemade and full of his meticulous handwriting and photos Pidge had somehow managed to print from the castle server) to see Lance staring at him in concern from the other side of the bench. More specifically, staring at the bandage on his arm that was starting to leak through again.
“Dammit.” Hunk untied the loose knot by his thumb joint and started unwinding the cloth. “You remember those blue fruits back on Kavik?”
“The ones that taste like cinnamon? Didn’t the ambassador give you a supply after the party?” Lance grasped for the edge of the bench, knuckles white, as he watched Hunk uncover his wound.
“Yeah. Turns out, peeling them is a lot more difficult than most fruits. They have a defence mechanism: these spikes that shoot out of the pores of the fruit when you pull back on the skin.” Hunk unwound the last bloodied coil of bandage to reveal five slightly inflamed puncture wounds near his wrist still oozing blood.
Lance hissed and turned away from the sight. “Man, I was not expecting evil space fruit.”
Hunk shrugged. “I’ve had worse. And it doesn’t even hurt.” He frowned as he pressed on the skin near one of the puncture wounds and a fresh steady stream of blood started flowing. “Though I am worried they might have had an anti-coagulant in them.”
“Right. You’re done here.”
“What?” Hunk watched Lance in confusion as he rounded the bench, closed Hunk’s recipe book and started tugging on his apron strings. “Lance, buddy, what are you doing?”
“If I leave you here, you’re just going to wrap that back up again and start in on something else.” Lance managed to wrestle the apron off Hunk without jostling his injury.
“Well, I was planning on trying to make that dish the rebels cooked up on Olkarion for the festival. Everyone loved that mushy whatever it was.”
“Dinner can wait.” Lance pushed Hunk towards the door.
Hunk resisted. “Lance, I’m fine. Seriously, I’ve had worse cuts in my mother’s house and she fusses way less than you.”
Lance arched an unimpressed eyebrow. “Isn’t proper hygiene your first concern in any kitchen.”
Hunk opened his mouth to protest then closed it and groaned. “Damn you and your use of my impeccable reason against me.”
“I learned from the best.” Lance clapped him on the back, still shuffling Hunk towards the door. “C’mon. Coran’s probably got some sort of slave that smells like sweaty socks that’ll fix this right up.”
Hunk let himself be led out the door towards Coran and his awful (but actually quite effective) tonics.
***
“Hunk! You’re injured! We must get you to the med bay at once!”
Hunk stopped with a sudden jolt at the threshold of the control room causing Lance, who was running up behind him to run into his back with a faint “ow” when he couldn’t skid to a stop in time. Allura was rushing towards him with a concerned look he didn’t understand.
“But I’m fine?” He looked around the room at the others gathered to see what had Allura so worried. Shiro pointed towards his nose in clarification.
Hunk sniffed, feeling a slight tickling sensation, and swiped his finger under his nostril. It came back red.
“Damn allergies.” Hunk sniffed harder, rubbing at the skin beneath his nose to clean the blood away. “I’ve been sneezing and sniffling all day. This was bound to happen.”
Lance passed him a tissue (or the slightly spongy sheets that passed for tissues in the castle). “Could be worse. You could be Pidge.”
Pidge, like Hunk, had been caught unawares by the pollen-heavy atmospheric conditions on the planet they’s just visited. Unlike Hunk, who just started sneezing in the middle of every sentence, she had been struck down within a varga by swelling, headaches, and dizziness and was still recovering that morning. Despite having gone through quarantine procedures as soon as she boarded the castle again and the rest of the castle being scoured for contaminants during the night, she was still swollen and aching. Hunk had been the one to deliver her food that morning, full of sympathy from his own congested night. It wasn’t a pretty sight. She threw a pillow at him.
(He’d returned it to her after fluffing it up and she grumbled a thank you before passing out again.)
Hunk blew his nose in the tissue and used another one Lance passed him to see how heavy the flow was. Just a few spots of blood. “It’s already clearing. Must have just been residual from the sneezing during the night.”
“You mean this is normal for humans?” Allura looked horrified.
“Not exactly normal, but I always got nosebleeds from hayfever.”
The assurance didn’t alleviate Allura’s wide-eyed disgust. “Are you sure you don’t need to go to the med bay?”
Hunk shook his head. “I’ll be fine. Thanks for worrying princess.”
“Of course. I’m glad you are not injured.” Allura cleared her throat and returned to her station as though her overreaction to a mostly harmless human bodily function was completely normal.
Lance bumped his shoulder into Hunk’s as he passed and shot him a grin. Hunk shook his head at Lance’s antics and took his own seat, ready to continue with paladin business.
***
“Dammit Coran! Give a guy some warning about the whirly bladed maw he’s sticking his hand into.”
“Oh, did I not disable that function?” Coran sounded blithely unconcerned over the communication channel, causing Hunk’s pained frown to darken further with his mood into an actual scowl. “Sorry Hunk. It should be fine now. Are you all right?”
Hunk let out a breath at the question. It wasn’t really Coran’s fault. He, like the rest of them, had been up almost two quinants trying to fix the sudden cascading failures affecting the entire castle. They’d spent almost twenty vargas frantically patching up the life-support system before having to move directly to the navigation system in order to steer away from a black hole. Then they almost crashed due to hypothermic-affected attempts at fixing the heating. (Why the castle’s internal heating system interconnected with the thrusters Hunk could not understand.)
Needless to say after all that time, it was just surprising that they only now had a significant injury on their hands. Or rather, Hunk’s arm.
(At least they weren’t still floating in zero-G. Dealing with an injury then would just be messy.)
“Yeah, I should probably get this looked at.” Definitely get it looked at: the wound was almost the full length of his forearm and, even if it was shallow, blood was still constantly flowing from the cut.
But on the other hand:
“You said this was the last adjustment, right?”
“Hunk, I’m already on my way down. You should just get yourself to the med bay.”
“Coran, I’m already here. Let me just fix the stupid thing.” 
Hunk was already reaching with his uninjured hand into the space he’d previously had his other arm, cautious of the (no longer spinning) sharp blades lining the walls of the crevice. His fingertips brushed the warm crystal he needed to set back into alignment. He peered through the tiny gap between the wall at his arm to make sure the crystal’s colour changed from sickly yellow to bright blue as he nudged it gently with his fingertips back into the right setting.
The crystal and all the electronics surrounding it lit up with bright Altean blue.
Hunk let out a huge breath as he carefully pulled his arm out of the castle wall.
Coran skidded around the corner into the hallway Hunk was stationed in, arms full of jars of salves and bandages that were starting to unravel and spill from his hold.
Hunk stayed on the floor, leaning on the wall next to the open panel, exhaustion and satisfaction of a job finally completed overtaking his body. He smiled at Coran as Coran knelt beside him and cleaned away the blood that was starting to drip from his arm onto the floor.
“Tell me that’s all the emergency stuff done.”
“Indeed it is, my boy.” Coran didn’t look up from where he was patching up Hunk’s arm. “You can rest now.”
“Awesome.” Hunk relaxed further as he felt the healing salve cool the hot edges of his wound. The skin around it started tingling pleasantly. He closed his eyes and let Coran do his thing.
Coran huffed, a tiny laugh escaping through his moustache. “Indeed you are, my boy.”
On to Part 2!

Thank you @jazthespazz for asking me~You are the best! I will certainly keep on answering your questions, you are such a sweetie~ (●っゝω・)っ~☆
How tall are you?: 164cm~
What colour and style is your hair?: It is naturally dark brown (as dark as my soul) but I dyed it twice in reddish purple and I washed it out a lot so it just has a mild shade of red under direct light now. I have side bang (since primary 3) and my hair is straight and waist-length at the moment.
What colour are your eyes?: Dark brown too (what a surprise!) Seriously it is so dark that I have trouble finding my pupils.
Do you wear glasses?: Sometimes. I don’t really need them but it is allergy season here now so I do always have a pair with me.
Do you have braces?:No~ Everybody around me and I know that I probably should have braces but nah, ain’t nobody get time (and money) for that.
What is your fashion style?: 20% of the time I attempt to dress in forest girl style, another 20% I look like I am going to pick up a fight. 40% of the time I don’t feel like dressing up so much so I let my cats pick up my outfit. And the rest of the time is pajama time~ And from time to time I also try too hard and fail so Noka Taihei is indeed my bro.
Any freckles/moles/beauty marks?: I have two moles on the left side of my cheek bone and another one on the corner of my left eye.
When were you born?: 2nd of May~~
How old are you?: 19 yo. Yeah, I know, way older to be a protagonist in anime 😭
Where do you live?: Hong Kong~
Do you have siblings?: Yes! I have a younger brother who is one year younger than me and a younger sister who was born when I was 7.
Do you go to school?:I am in college now and KIDS DON’T BELIEVE THOSE LIARS THIS IS JUST ANOTHER HELL.
What kind of student are you?: I tend to distance myself from those popular kids. They kinda see me as the hardworking type but I just wanna chill and avoid the crowd. I am very focused in class but you bet I can screw myself up in every exam. I can give a brilliant presentation but can’t help with my trembling limbs. Also I am one of the Going Home Club and I am already tired before the first lesson starts. Oh yes,I am the one who hide in changing room from PE lessons. I guess I am pretty normal?
What are your favourite TV shows?: I watch mostly anime and Japanese TV shows these days. I don’t actually have some all-time favorites or just I can’t remember any now……here is a list of anime that I have watched at least twice and still want to revise (does this count as cheating?😂): Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun, Barakamon, All Out!!, My Hero Academia, Silver Spoon, Mushishi, Gintama and Daily Lives of High School Boys. I also love watching some of the very old Hong Kong TV shows(Those are the gold. Now they are mostly tawdry 😞)
Favourite pastime?: staring into space……eating, reading, doodling, talking to my cats, annoying everyone in the house. I also like to go for a long walk (so long that I end up two to three regions away from where I start. I like walking but it is a kind of once in a year thing cuz I just don’t wanna go out). I write and fantasize all the time. Or just check out what’s on my social media feed.
What is your dream job?: I used to wish to be a fashion designer when I was in kindergarten. And then a marine biologist when I was in primary school. During my last year in high school I wanted to retire already. And now I want to be a translator.
Would you like to get married one day; if so, where?: it comes to my mind recently that I don’t really need a marriage in my life to feel completed. But if I am going to get married one day, I imagine it to be in a small church or under the sea or in an aquarium.
Would you like kids one day?: Nah. I don’t see myself as a great parent. I’d like to sponsor a few though.
Girly girl or tomboy?: I am somewhere in between? Idk. I think both are cool too.
Do you like shopping?: I like window shopping and check for the same product on online stores. (I am the worst aren’t I?😂😂) I like to shop for groceries, stationery and books. I also enjoy spending the only 10 dollars in my pocket for some beautiful thing that I want but I don’t need. But shopping for cosmetic products/clothes in actual stores is just too much pressure for me 😖😫
What countries have you visited so far?: China, Japan, Thailand and Canada~ I really want to go to Germany and Sri Lanka!
What’s the scariest nightmare you’ve had?: It is a looooong story. So in primary 3, my teacher gave me a wind chime as an award for some competitions. I was so happy and hung it on the doorknob of my room. I then had the worst nightmare in my life that night, in which I just keep seeing a girl wearing a white dress with her pale skin shedding everywhere like the dried, old paint on a wall popping out of the blue. She looked kinda like those doll the family have in Japan to celebrate the Hinamatsuri, which is my deepest darkest fear……And the worst part is that after I woke up, there is a few seconds I saw the girl on my windsill, chuckling at me behind her white sleeve and quickly hide into the pile of clutter. Later that day I heard from my mum that in feng shui, they believed that wind chimes could bring bad dreams and bad luck to the house.                                                                                                           Whoa, long story. Thank u if you finish reading them and sorry if I scared you 😂😂. I also dreamt about losing one of my family members and my parents getting a divorce, and I always end up crying when I wake up. But still, nothing beat this.
Do you have enemies?: Sometimes I am too busy to care about how the others feels, so I wouldn’t be surprise if I have any that I don’t know.
Do you have a s/o?: Nah~
If not, do you want one?: Having someone to be annoying to couldn’t be anything bad, right?
Are you open about your feelings?: I am slow 24/7. So most of the time only the shallowest, most instant feelings could get their way out of my mouth. I also am not good at expressing myself, sometimes I even ignore my true feelings that later on take me a whole week to figure out. So I guess I am not really open?
What’s your family like?: Chaotic good. We usually interact like friends but when something serious comes up, we will be so damn serious.
Would you date someone your family didn’t approve?: I can barely imagine this situation since my mum and dad are quite open and believe in my choice (After all they did sort of start dating without 100% approval of their respective families) and my siblings don’t really care. But still, there is something they can’t accept. I will certainly rethink about the situation, but I guess I will eventually continue the relation if I can’t see anything wrong about it.
Any pet peeves?: Leftover food in the sink after washing dishes. People letting their belongings take the seat instead of another person. Noise. Trouble.
Do you believe in astrology?: Yes! I used to be obsessed with it until everyone now is obsessed with it. It annoys me when someone refers their fault or other’s success to their zodiac signs.
Jaz!!! We are of the same height!!!(   ・ω・)ノ☆・゚::゚Isn’t that a miracle????
