#myth of the azalea

(about myth marzipan if possible but up to you)

YIPPEE myth marzipan time

the ask game

1. When it comes to cooking, what's their best dish? Are they a good cook, or is this a one-off?

His best dish is unquestionably bacon & eggs. He makes enough for two every morning, and throws it out if the portion for Sal isn't perfect. Aside from that, he isn't... the worst cook. His food is generally better than alright, but it's clear he isn't the most experienced. He relies on spices a lot in more complicated dishes, but simple meals like burgers and maki rolls are where he shines! (There's not much to mess up.)

2. Do they play any sports? If so, what do they play & are they any good? If not, which sport would they enjoy playing the most?

He does not! His only introduction to sports is when Glass asked to use him like a pinball. He'd probably like something heavy in physical contact, because he wouldn't have to worry about... the side effects. No concussions for him! He'd have a nasty habit of using his entire body as a shield, though, because of the lack of pain.

kinda want to attempt a psuedo rt rewrite like @/084392 or milos from home but idk how or when i could do that

#ive had the idea of azalea/leopold being parallels to gengar/gardevoir for a while #where leopold is sort of blindly kind to a fault and azalea takes a while to actually like him bc shes a bit selfish #(but ofc both would improve throughout the story and form a genuine unbreakable bond) #and gengar like. projects on both of them HARD #hes similar to azalea in personality in that theyre both pretty self serving but at first the difference between them is respect #azalea actually likes being a pokemon more than she’d like to admit bc shes been closer to them than humans her whole life #so has no problem integrating into their society and treating them as equals #while gengar still sees himself as superior to pokemon for being a human and views his teammates as pokemon hes ‘’caught’’ #even though that dynamic no longer exists properly in this world. he doesnt view medicham and ekans as his equals in any way #and though he cared about gardevoir a large part of her sacrifice was him not thinking she was ‘’worth’’ saving??? idk #but he gets turned into a pokemon in like a brother bear way bc #of that and he has to learn to treat pokemon better #this is also a broad hc but i imagine the attitude towards humans is different in each game #and in rt there are still some around but the pokemon generally dont trust them #which is part of the fugitive arc. i think the ninetales myth is not really a prophecy #but like a story that got twisted into a myth to justify why humans cant be trusted and scapegoating them for the disasters #which is why everyone turns on azalea so easily. theyre all paranoid and on edge and that broke the dam #echoed voice

Lark heard the soft footfalls that echoed through her dilapidated manor. It spoke through the walls and floors. To her annoyance, another random intruder had found her home in hopes of obtaining riches and glory for slaying such an insidious beast. Unfortunate she would be the one to burst the intruder’s bubble, but there would be no beast slaying this night. 

She rolled her eyes as left her room. She glanced out the corridor window to see the heavy rain fall. 

Perfect. she thought. Some poor soul is trying to stay dry. Even more an nuisance. Lark gripped her blade tightly as she made her way down the grand staircase in which was laced with a thin layer of dust. She made no introductions or announcements when her eyes fell upon the lavender Tiefling. 

“ Get out.” she demanded, her tone laced with hostility. She moved down the steps, her long dark hair billowing with each movement. She wrapped herself in a satin cloak and glared her verdant hues at the stranger. 

“ Whatever it is you came here to do, don’t. There is no haven for you here.”

2am (Chp 4)

--== Table of Contents ==--

It had been nearly three years since that day. The day Jaune Arc walked out of her life. Her legal team had reviewed the documents, and quickly advised her to agree to the terms. They were fair, and had clauses that allowed for amendment of the agreements at later dates, if a need to do so arose. So she signed them as she cried. Memories of times that shouldn't have happened feeding her depression. It had signalled a very dark time in her life, and she spiralled out of control. Loosing herself to drink, risky missions, and other activities.

“What are you doing to yourself!” screamed her mother as Pyrrha nursed a bad hangover on the couch of her mother's house. “Pyrrha, what is going on?”

“I'm fine.”

“No, you're not fine! You are far from fine!” Athena Nikos was livid, embarrassed, and frustrated. “So you are going to tell me what is going on with you, and I mean now!”

“Nothing is going on!” Pyrrha shouted back.

“Really? REALLY?” Athena grabbed a bunch of printed off tabloid articles, and threw them down on the coffee table before her daughter, “He IS a married man, Pyrrha! A married man!”

“His wife's a bitch.”

“And what about that video of you and that girl?” Athena was about to totally lose it. “Are you intentionally trying to destroy yourself? You are better than this! You have a daughter to look out for!”

“I don't have a daughter! She's gone! He took her away!”

“And I wonder why he felt the need to do that? I wonder?”

“Fuck you!”

“No, this is done. Get out of my house! You want to make yourself into a laughingstock then go, go whore yourself out like you have been. Go live in the bottom of a bottle, but you sure as fuck won't be getting any more support from me!” Athena moved to the table, and grabbed another handful of papers, throwing them into her daughter's face, “And here, these are all the contract cancellation notices.”

“What the fuck. They can't...” Pyrrha grabbed a couple of the papers and tried to focus on the fine print of the scattered documents.

“They can and did!” Athena was past livid now. She loved her daughter, and it tore her apart seeing her crumble from stress into addiction. But she was at her wits end at what to do. So finally, much like the father of her granddaughter did, she had to just distance herself. “Out!”

/=/

Jaune and Azalea had moved to Argus not long after Pyrrha had signed the custody and support agreements. He did it for a few reasons. To get away from the memories of his failed attempt at a life with Pyrrha in Vale. To be closer to his eldest sister, her wife and Az's only current cousin; and to be able to at least give Az a chance to know her mother's side of the family with twice weekly over night stays with her grandmother.

He knew Pyr was floundering. Years of constantly being in the public eye finally cracking all her will, and forcing to succumb to the stress, in less than healthy ways. Yet, he had to focus his concerns on Azalea. It was underhanded, he knew, but with tips offs from Az's grandmother, he avoided ever being around the house when Pyrrha was crashing there. He isolated his daughter from the train wreck her mother had become. Jaune didn't want to keep the two most important people in his life apart, but Azalea didn't deserve to see what her mother was becoming. She deserved to only have happy memories of her mother.

On good days, he was more than happy to drop Azalea off at her grandmother's, to spend much needed time with her mother, but those times quickly became less and less. Pyrrha was spiralling, and Jaune instinctively knew he had to protect Az from the disaster that was approaching. He wanted to reach out to Pyrrha, to wrap his arms around her, and make her struggles go away... but right now with what she was doing, it wasn't possible.

The support payments had made his life taking care of his growing girl easier, and allowed him a bit more freedom to pursue his new passion. He had long given up on the huntsman myth. He saw what that life was doing to his friends, and even though he started out wanting to be a hero, after Azalea's birth he understood something more. Heroes didn't have to be warriors fighting darkness, they could be someone offering warm hugs, and soft cheek kisses. He was Azalea's hero, and that was to him the greatest achievement he could have ever accomplished.

It was in the second year after his move to Argus, that Athena made a request of him. He had always been taught to give the courtesy of listening when someone wanted to speak with you, so he did. Without hesitation, agreed, to her request.

[villain-in-love]

@canarycurse Oh boy, now that you mentioned your other s/is, I'm curious about Azalea and Madeline and their relationship with their respective f/os. And maybe some more information about Kojiro and Tauro themselves since, unlike with Musashi, I don't know much about them.

Anyways, in return to Zeroes' statement about their Halloween "costumes", Nico would obviously be the one to bring up Addams family and others would have to censure him because of the copyright again.

Your Zero suddenly stopping answering Kiji's questions during the school event and everyone realizing that where she was sitting just now is already an empty space sounds very much like a canonical joke for Nanbaka. And it sure is unfortunate that she can’t dress up like everyone else, since it’s one of the rare instances in canon where characters had a chance to wear something different from their usual outfits. I’m still curious what you Zero would have worn if she could change clothes, though.

Finding other "emotion ghosts" of the same person is a sensible suggestion, especially if your Zero wants to get more knowledge about her existence, but I don’t think tracking them down would be an easy task. Obviously, she would need to find the original source first and question her, and then she would have to take on a role of a detective and go investigating all the places where others first appeared... Or maybe you already have better ideas on how to find them?

I think your idea of your Zero’s introduction to the plot is a solid one (ha), she would do well getting established as a reoccurring character from the start and something of a local myth that is very much the truth. And with her knowing other characters that would make appearances later, she could easily drop some “easter eggs” here and there.

By the way, since he’s also one of the main characters, what does Hajime thinks about your Zero and her hanging out around his building?

Okay, giving my answers to your questions (which include some of my own questions):

About Trois, Honey, and their favourite underwear question:

For a few seconds Zero looked genuinely thoughtful. The next thing she said was: “You know, in a neighbourhood I was taught that I can and should beat people up for questions like these…” After hearing this, all characters who were near rushed in to save Trois and Honey, asking if they have a death wish.

Obviously, Zero couldn’t be actually bothered by questions like these, she was just wondering about the implications and what it says about Honey’s and Trois’s personalities. Though she still considered the option of beating them up for fun and then using their question as a justification. Really, she’s always just waiting for a good excuse to get violent.

About extra chapters with school event:

Zero does have some academic knowledge and there are subjects she’s genuinely good at – literature, biology, math, psychology, even history, when it comes to the culture and not political dates and events. But it would be objectively funnier to see her answer questions she’s not qualified to answer.

There’s an idea of her giving ridiculous answers when talking about geography. Because she wasn’t planning on travelling abroad any time soon (well, she kinda did anyway, but getting transported to jail doesn’t count), she didn’t bother to learn much about geography and only has some vague understanding based on someone’s personal stories or mentions from books. And once again, outdated information. “Ah yes, the Ottoman Empire, I remember it was there.” “And this must be Речь Посполитая – my old friend used to live there…” “Wait, Singapore is actually a country and not a city? It's so tiny, why is this a country and not a city?”

OR she might give disturbingly accurate answers in anatomy. I imagine, when asked about how organs work as a system, she will give a very detailed answer, even starting to draw a scheme on a blackboard. Then she realizes that she’s bad at drawing, so she will drag someone (for some reason I imagine it either being Honey or Nico) from their desk and in front of the “class”, swiftly ripping the shirt off them and putting a claw to their abdomen, being like: “It can get a little bloody and I can only show this once, so look carefully.” At this point she would have to get dragged away by guards who are responsible for her.

I also jumped on the opportunity to give her some new outfits, because I love giving my OCs extensive wardrobes:

She could have rocked that black-and-red sailor uniform look. Might even paint the tips of her claws red.

Or she could have gone another route and dressed up in classic "white top, black bottoms" look. Thought if she was to wear a short skirt Kiji would have to remind her to sit "properly" every so often.

"I know you said it doesn’t really fill her up but does she have a favourite human food?"

Here's the biggest difference between me and Zero: she’s not a picky eater. So even if she does have some preferences, she can eat almost anything, and I mean it. Anything.

But I guess her favourite food is pancakes with meat – as in regular thin pancakes with meat wrapped into it. Her Grandma used to make pancakes with human meat, so those were obviously the best, but animal meat is fine too. (In reality I hate pancakes that aren't sweet, but I figured that Zero would like it)

Zero also likes aforementioned sushi rolls and always throws absolutely ungodly amounts of wasabi into the soy sauce. She’s quite fond of desserts as well, for example, some belgian waffles with ice cream and several other toppings sound good.

I must note that Zero generally prefers bigger and heartier dishes – I mean, she's capable of consuming several adult human bodies in one sitting, so if it’s some light snack she might not even notice eating it.

As a bonus: Her favourite human body parts to eat are hearts and the meat from the thighs, and the spinal column is the best to crunch on. Her least favourite part is intestine – she can eat a human whole, but she often leaves those untouched, which used to really confuse police at some point.

"Could I ask her impressions of any other members of the cast?"

When it comes to other Nanbaka characters who aren’t Jyugo or Liang, Zero doesn’t hold any particularly strong opinions. She’s fine with almost everyone, as long as they provide a good show for her. But I can comment on several character specifically:

Uno – she quickly identified him as the brain, the leader, and the mom of the group. He obviously cares about Jyugo a lot, and for that she’s somewhat thankful to him. She finds his obsession with being the prettiest and most popular with girls laughable, but overall he left a good impression. (Uno himself is still trying to recover from the sight of Zero eating the guards)

Much to Liang’s and Upa’s confusion, Zero genuinely likes and admires Qi. She sees him as an intelligent and sensible person with whom they can easily understand each other, and while she finds the situation of Liang and Upa constantly berating and blaming him for everything wrong with the world funny in its ridiculousness, she majorly disagrees with their opinion. Qi is also the reason she finally took interest and started learning chemistry.

I think that Zero is likely to get along well with Man with the Scar aka Mashiro in the future and get invested in experiments his organisation conducts. She also would be highly impressed by the schemes his team pulled, like the way they sabotaged Enki or set up other people to confront Jyugo and Zakuro to make the two stronger (while putting Elf inside them as a the kind of "safety catch" to ensure that they use their powers when needed and don't die)

Out of the staff she likes Mitsuru the most – he’s chill and easy-going, brings lively and chaotic atmosphere everywhere he goes, and while it could have been easy to view him as another moron, she gets an impression that despite his eccentric behaviour, this guy always knows exactly what he’s doing. So I think they would be on pretty good terms.

Zero doesn't have anything against Kiji, but as someone who does (surprisingly) take interest and is somewhat knowledgeable about fashion herself, she doesn't quite understand Kiji's decisions when it comes to the colour scheme of his outfits. (And makeup. And hair.)

Hajime reminds Zero a bit of russian gopniks, which is funny. While Hajime dislikes Zero for several reasons, she herself couldn’t care less about it – she’s fond of him simply because he’s very fun to observe, especially when Cell 13 is involved.

Yamato and Seitaro are labelled as "Idiot No.1" and "Idiot No.2" in her mind. Not that she actually dislikes them, but they make her question the quality of the guard selection for this prison.

It’s incredibly rare for Zero to actively dislike someone, but she would have preferred to stay away from Ahato. She happened to visit Building 3 once, for educational purposes, and she does not want to deal with cosmetics and restrictive clothes again – it’s impractical and you can’t possibly expect her to care about not ruining her makeup or be careful to not tear clothes. He almost makes her regret agreeing to never use any force against staff members again. (And she's not pleased with Kiji for supporting all of this.)

When it comes to other people who didn't leave the best of impressions, she would have loved to pick apart Honey’s brain. It’s one of the rare instances when someone’s peculiar temper doesn’t entertain her, but instead makes her question “what is his problem”. She would also prefer if he dropped the act of being a gentleman, she can already smell acting from miles away. Though she is curious about those threads/strings of his, it’s mechanics and techniques of using them. Well, there's at least one thing Honey is good for, and it's making Liang lose his temper – Zero finds their squabbles to be awfully fun to watch.

She’s not impressed with Shin at all and she found it amusing to spoil his mood whenever she had to deal with him.

Also Zero and Dread tried to kill each other several times. Dread is highly irritated by Zero as a person, while Zero considers her to be a nuisance and can't for the life of her understand Dread's devotion to Shin.

MLQC One-Shot: Guise of a Greek God

I had a strange urge to work on this draft I had in my phone for months and the very next day the Oracle event was announced lol---it was supposed to be a long fanfic but I think this will suffice :)

Featuring: GreekGod!Gavin x reader

Summary: A girl enjoys living her tranquil life in her village in Ancient Greece. She heard many stories of heroes and ordinary mortals encountering the gods whom they worship. As a matter of fact, she met one without knowing. 

Warnings/Notes: No spoilers from Oracle Revelation event dates, inspired by existing myths, brief mentions of Ancient Greece's shame culture, the Wish Tree Event appears to be Greco-Roman inspired but I kept it only Greek here :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Like the other gods, Gavin was immortal who possess eternal youth and shape-shifting abilities. He was a well respected and admired god for his contribution in warfare and tactics. 

- However, centuries passed and the gods of Olympus grew more prevalent across all regions. Gradually but surely, the history and existence of the remaining gods were forgotten among mortals, buried within fading parchment and abandoned ruins.

- It would be possible to join and live in Mount Olympus but Gavin preferred a life of solitude and tranquility. This hasn't changed up until now.

- Gavin doesn't often spend his time up in the heavens and prefers staying on Earth exploring uncharted regions in the mountains and rivers, undisturbed.

- Before nightfall, he usually bathes by a secluded waterfall. He is about to rinse off when he hears sudden splashing coming from the other side of the rocks.

- His face pales as soon as he peeks over where a maiden, completely bare, wades toward the opposite end of the waterfall, letting the water droplets trace over her smooth skin.

- What's worse is that he hasn't seen a mortal for centuries. He is trying to recall the last time when suddenly, she turns around, facing his direction.

- Hastily, he hides behind the boulder but the quick rush of water from his abrupt movement gives him away.

- "Who's there?" she says warily. Her voice is clear and steady. It sounds quite lovely. Somewhat intimidating but lovely nevertheless. 

- When he remains silent, he hears the water parting away as she approaches.

- She'd be terrified if she finds him as a bare man and so he instinctively uses his godly ability to shapeshift into the first thing he can think of: a sparrow.

- Seeing a soaked little bird in the water, the girl decides to scoop it up and dry its wings. Her gentleness of her fingertips almost makes him melt from the affection that he doesn't realize he craves.

- Soon after, the girl befriends it after noticing that it hasn't flown away yet and so she talks to it a lot, treating it as if it understands every word. She offers it grains of wheat or fruits every time she finds the very sparrow in the nearby meadows. She treats any scrapes she finds on the bird, scolding it for its carelessness. 

- She doesn't mean to give the bird a name but ends up calling it "Chirpy" after the bird turns its attention to her so earnestly when she first calls it that.

- She shares secrets that she doesn't tell anyone to Chirpy like her favourite hideaways, her fear of storms, what kind of person she wants to marry ..

- (maybe the bird is taking down mental notes)

- She wishes her friend could speak so she could hear its own secrets.

- Once, she said she loves peonies and azaleas and so in human form, Gavin spends hours alone making a decent flower wreath for her and the bird carries it to her the next day.

- The bird sometimes visits and perches on her windowsill. She welcomes it and shows it to her small home.

- When the girl brings Chirpy to her village, the bird makes a fuss when other guys get too close to the girl. It might flutter around the guys and maybe start snapping at them with his sharp beak lol

- In a stormy night, the lightning is more severe than usual as it hits nearby cliffs of the village. Gavin is worried and decides to check in on the girl in case she's afraid or if she got hurt.

- By the time he got there, the girl sees a soaking wet bird and she brings it in to dry off, assuming that her friend is seeking her help or at least safe and warm shelter.

- When he's convinced she'll be alright, the bird starts hopping back to the windowsill but she stops him.

- "Don't you dare, Chirpy! It's dangerous outside. The storm will probably stop tomorrow and it'll be safe to fly again then. You're still cold, come sleep with me tonight."

- ??? The bird thinks it misheard her.

- The girl insists and with the lack of strength compared to a human, the bird was tucked snug beside the girl on the bed--- it was really warm and cozy and eventually he couldn't help but fall asleep too...

-Unfortunately, it's so cozy that his shapeshifting slackens and wears off and he is in his human form again as he dozes with her.

- By the time it’s morning, the girl is snuggling against Gavin while he holds her protectively around his arms---the position was intimate with her face against his neck and his thigh between her legs.

- She wakes up first because the comforting warmth around her is unfamiliar and firm and muscular ...  Seeing him, she almost screams as she tries to scramble away but he pulls her against him again.

- He’s stuck in his subconsciousness, clinging to the wonderful feeling of holding the girl he is---slowly but surely---falling in love with.

- Gavin wakes up when he hears her voice calling for help. At first, he's confused why she is staring at him in fright. Instinctively, he thinks he was injured or something but notices his human limbs around her.

- He immediately lets go and puts distance between each other as she wraps the blanket around her figure for decency.

- He apologizes immediately. He isn’t sure if he wants to disassociate this human form from the bird so he could return to the way things were. It’d be safer that way. Even if she views this version of him with terror.

- He's about to leave but she stops him, demanding answers and threatening him to not tell anyone about this or she will be shunned in her village.

- Gavin doesn't realize the latter part. He promises he won't and that he was not taking advantage of her.

- "Then why were you sleeping with me?? What did you do to the bird? How could you? It doesn't matter if it's a rare breed or not. It's my friend. You give her back!"

- "Him..." Gavin corrects in a murmur.

- "Huh?"

- Quickly changing the topic, Gavin asks what he could do to seek her forgiveness.

- "Tell me why you choose to target me! How many other women have you terrified? And how many birds did you steal? That's my dear friend! You deserve punishment!" The girl flew punches against his chest and he lets her, upset that he's the one making her cry and angry all at once.

- He explains that he would never do any of that, not when he believes birds should always be free and go as they please and not when he has fallen in love with one person. He urges her to keep beating him up and that he deserves it for making a foolish mistake. 

- "...Did you ...do anything to me last night?" she asks, faltering.

- Gavin immediately holds her hands then thinks better of it and removes them reluctantly. "No. I would never. I promise. I won't ever hurt you."

- ‘Why is he so sincere and devoted? Who is he?’ the girl thinks.

- With a heavy heart, Gavin promises her that he'll leave the village and stay away and for a long time, he does just that. The bird hasn't shown up since.

-The girl’s look of terror and anger toward his human form made him want to stay a bird forever.

- A month passes and Gavin still can't help but yearn to see her again. Hesitant, he returns to her windowsill shyly as a sparrow.

- The gloomy look over her lifts as soon as she recognizes the bird. She cheers so joyously and sheds tears of relief, contrasting her anger and horror from before.

- She asks what happened and why it left during that night and explains how a man went to sleep with her.

- "I was so scared I thought the worst had happened to you and to me! He was so strange. But frankly, I thought about the incident for a while and I'm not that scared anymore...not of him anyway. It was so strange. He really did look remorseful and ashamed but that can't be! He was the one who went to sleep with me! Unless he sleepwalked? Well, how did he get into my house? The door wasn't broken either."

- Cautiously, she eyes the bird (he's grateful in this form; she doesn't expect an answer from him) 

- The girl leans in and whispers, "...Don't tell anyone but ...I think he's kinda cute..I know! I know! It's wrong! Don't peck me! I know how much you hate guys!"

- The bird hasn't moved since its arrival. It now peers at her curiously. 

- The girl stares out the window in deep thought. "He really did mean it. No one treated me differently since and I haven't seen him either. It was like a dream? The door and windows were locked. I don't understand how he got in...or how you got out."

- Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Could he be a god? No wonder he looked so charming! What do you think, Chirpy?"

- Bird looks away---good thing you can never tell if a bird's face turns red.

- The subject is dropped because the girl focuses on welcoming back her good friend.

- Days later, she searches around the village’s temples but none of the gods resemble that guy from that night.

- There are small ruins nearby her favourite hideout spot near the mountains and she decides to inspect it closely. She looks around, but nothing is really there except overgrown trees with low branches, rubble and walls of vines.

- Bird is hesitant to follow and tries to motion her to leave with his fluttering wings but the girl doesn't listen.

- When she moves around the vines, she finds that they cover something sculpted marble--- highly unlikely nature formed without human craftsmanship.

- She climbs the big olive tree nearby and continues to push away the vines and eventually, she is face-to-face with a very tall statue. He had armour over his chiton with arm guards and greaves. A sword is sculpted at the side of his waist and laurels lie over his hair.

- His clothes aren't familiar, but his fringe and facial structure are.

- A familiar-looking bird was sculpted to be over his shoulder...

- The girl points at it, shocked at the suspicious coincidence. "Hey! He has a sparrow friend that looks awfully like you!" The pieces start to fall in place and the dawning realization and dread finally hit her: "I ...was with a god," she whispers. "I was yelling and threatening and hitting him...This can't be...I'm doomed..."

- Although she is not familiar with this particular god, she is hasty to plead for his forgiveness.

- She tries to scramble down to bow before the gigantic statue, planning to give all offerings she can, but she slips over the rock and falls toward the marble floor.

-The bird soars after her and before her eyes---in a flash---Gavin transforms back to his human form. He catches her and together, they land safely.

- The girl can't speak at first: "?!!! It ..uhm, Chirpy was...you the whole time??"

- The god rubs the back of his neck, unable to meet her eyes in this form. "Uhm, yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I didn't want to frighten you and I couldn't find the right moment to tell you."

- "But you heard all of my secrets and personal matters and.." she falters before pointing at him. "You saw me bathe!"

- The god's face burns scarlet. He holds her accusing forefinger gently.  "It was by accident! You heard me so I transformed to the first thing I could think of so I wouldn't frighten you. I'm sorry."

- "No, I'm the one who needs to apologize," the girl says as she bows. "My lord, please spare me. If I had known sooner, I wouldn't have acted so rashly. Please forgive me."

- He hurriedly brings her back to her feet. "There's no need to treat me like this."

- "But you're a god! Of course I must!" she insists.

- "Ahem. I really liked the way you treated me when I was a bird," he confesses.

- "I ... but why?" 

- "You're very kind and very cute. You share your daydreams with me and I cherish them."

- "But my lord--!"

- "There's no need to call me that."

- "But---"

- Gavin gives a soft pat on her head. "I'm still your Chirpy."

- "But I don't think I can treat you like a bird friend anymore," she reasons. "This is such a big change!"

- "It's okay there's no need. You could maybe treat me as something more?" he suggests wistfully.

- The girl blinks. "Huh??"

- "When you talked about the man from that stormy night...you said he was charming. Does that still hold true?"

- Slowly, he holds her close, just like when they were sleeping together that night.

- The girl becomes a blushing mess. As she tries to fumble for an answer, he slowly leans in and kisses her causing her to melt against him.

- After a long moment, he pulls away. "A storm is coming. I'll take you back to your home...if you like."

- The girl nods, determined to hide her sheepishness. "Of course! That would be nice! Well, you know you could stay over ...if you like."

-Now he's a blushy mess awww

Narcissism is boring. I propose a subject change. Did you know that the flower Narcissus of Greek myth turns into is a daffodil? I must have known at some point as a kid, but recently relearned it on a trip to a garden. Also azaleas apparently come in every color and pattern on earth: every time I thought I’d found a new kind of flower, nope, azalea!

--

I have azaleas and camellias in my yard. I guess the soil must be acidic because everything like that is super happy.

[jointed-custody]

Now I have TWO fantasy skin babies from @oneloveamericangirl (@eclecticallyellaree here and on Etsy) and I’m stupid-happy with them. In an unusual bit of binary thinking (from her), my mother declared that blue Hyacinth is “either a vampire, or a boy. Maybe both.” And that pink Azalea is “a girl Deveel from the Myth books of Robert Asprin.” I…don’t know that I agree with her, but I’m also boggled that she’s taken enough interest in my dolls to have opinions at all. #dyeddolls #agcaringforbaby #americangirldoll #customdolls https://www.instagram.com/p/CecLPpApca8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

OLEANDER Nerium oleander

Meaning: Caution

Origin: The Victorians assigned the meaning of “caution” to the oleander, perhaps because the plant is poisonous, but also because of its association with the Greek cautionary myth of Hero and Leander. The two were in love, and although they lived on opposite sides of the Hellespont Sea, Leander swam across it every night to visit Hero. One night, during a violent storm, Leander died while trying to swim to his love in the rough waters. When Hero saw Leander’s body washed ashore, she called out, “O, Leander! O, Leander!” and drowned herself to be with him in death.

Pair with . . . Azalea to warn someone they’re about to make a poor choice Sunflower to caution a friend against a bad investment

i want to ramble about characters so it is now kris time

under a cut because this got about 10x longer than i expected

kris here is daphnes older sister and daphne is my johto protag oc, though kris is still important. it's also important that they're both originally from sootopolis in hoenn and wallace's nieces.

so it took a while for beverly (and ex husband) to realize that kris had psychic powers similar to her little siblings. daphne and [redacted] both had very outward powers while kris' is very inwards.

whenever she rambled about people with strange names they chalked it up to imaginary friends. it was only once they realized 2 outta 3 had powers that they looked into kris and realized she did not have a small army of imaginary friends.

so, tangent. in my verse, the dream world is sort of the distortion world. its a part of the distortion world that human minds can reach and navigate, though not consciously. it's outside of normal space and time so those who can naturally reach it tend to get prophetic visions.

so kris' power is that she can see the past, and occasionally the future, in her dreams. she has no control over what she sees though she tries sooo hard to. the future flashes are also just that. flashes. she sees a flash of a scene and knows x will be at y at exactly 2 47pm, sunday march 30th 2028. and thats it. why are they there? how did they get there? why that spot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

anyways this gave kris a strong interest in history for obvious reasons. related to the sootopolis thing, she was close with her uncle wallace as he was very well versed in history and myths and was always happy to tell them to her. little kris wanted nothing more than to join her uncle as a guardian of the cave of origin

and then her family moved to johto.

kris was Not Happy. at all. she was 10 and had a whole life in hoenn. friends, a goal, she was even planning on going on a pokemon journey soon. for reasons related to [redacted], beverly was Very Opposed to the idea of kris staying in hoenn while beverly and daphne left for johto. she forced an angy kris to move there with them.

as a parting gift, wallace gave her a feebas egg (which got the attention of recently moved in to mew bark professor elm) and when it hatched, the second feebas was considered old enough to battle kris yeeted herself out of new bark town to tour johto.

(kris and beverly had argued basically the entire time in between. beverly was against her going out while kris had a insatiable curiosity. kris didn't give beverly any notice before she left. just went yea im going on a journey now and walked out the door)

johto was not hoenn but it was nice. in azalea town, kris met ethan (who's grandparents ran a daycare near goldenrod) and the two quickly bonded. they both had 'useless' starters (feebas and abra) and met after being made fun of by the same chump.

neither really had any goal. they wanted to travel and experience johto. and they did! they went all over johto and kanto together. they even managed to find and revive matching fossil pairs.

when they were 13, they met lyra, a rather suspicious but sweet girl who was into contests. since lyra had more of a concrete goal than them, they let her take the lead. after finding out that kris was from hoenn and had multiple famous coordinators in her family, they hopped on a boat to a new region! kris was delighted to finally have her hoenn journey! especially with such good friends!

by the time they returned home, they were 15ish. ethan had kept in touch with his grandparents, kris.... not so much. there was some yelling when she got home. especially about going to a different region. beverly hadnt even known about that until wallace called her like 'kris is in my house and eating all my food.' it took a few months for them to get into a good spot because both are very stubborn women. but they did, eventually, sort of make up.

but kris came out of her journey with 2 goals. 1, hone her powers so she can purposefully visit specific pts in time in her dreams and 2, find suicune.

the first was a natural step up from just enjoying her powers. she knew from studying with morty that it would be difficult if not impossible, but she could try. specifically, she wanted to learn how to bring back old, extinct evolutions. she had a stantler and she wanted to evolve it into a wyrdeer.

the second was because of a chance encounter. while in kanto, she ran into the legendary beast suicune. it let her get close and even pet its mane before seemingly realizing something and running away. eusine ran in not too long after and the two became rivals in searching for the beast.

to help with those goals, she interned under professor elm. her interest was history and extinct pokemon evolutions, but it was a good opportunity.

it did, eventually, help her get a position under professor rowan, the expert in pokemon evolution. she studied under him for several years (including during the whole team galactic fiasco lol) before branching off into her own thing.

her, ethan and lyra are a Unit (romantically? platonically? qpr? who knows! they think its funny to be so mysterious) so when Lyra managed to get a spot in the hoenn contest circuit the other 2 went with.

that was fine with kris. now she could fulfill her childhood goal and study under her uncle. having access to ancient sootopolitan texts was also a boon to honing her powers (the suicune thing had been resolved by then. celebi time travel stuff).

aaand thats about it! ^.^ yay kris!
