I would love to hear more about Robin, specifically :3 Gimme deets, please!
Oh yeah I guess I should do that
In an out of universe sense, Robin is my particular brand of Juliana. I designed her to fit the experience I had with Scarlet... which basically involved me poking my nose into every. single. corner. of Paldea. She's a hiker, backpacker, and budding photographer, because all those things are what I spent the entirety of my playthrough doing. I think I got like forty hours in before I finally was convinced to stop fucking around and go for the non-Path of Legends badges. A lot of the DLC I did as wing-sister to @the-starkindler, who was playing Violet, and we developed a lengthy headcanon winding the two versions together using our respective characters -- you know, like an Emerald version. This bit is key because it means there are two bike-dragons running around Paldea and the Academy, instead of being represented by one fruit, is more of a basket of them. (Insert jokes here.)
I'm going to put a cut here, because I have a lot to say about my silly girl. Beware all who enter here, for there are OC headcanons afoot.
In-universe, Robin is an established student at the Naruva academy, in her second year, arriving sometime after the Team Star dust-up. She is Kalosian, from somewhere in the vague area of Anistar City (if you don't remember your Kalos locations, that's the place with the big red sundial). She's an introvert who grew up in a family of extroverts, and, as you can imagine, that need for a moment of peace fueled her early interest in backpacking. This got markedly worse when the little sisters started arriving. She has five younger sisters, all between the ages of eight and four at the time of her second year. For context, she's going on sixteen at that point.
(I love my little sister dearly, but she alone was almost enough to send me howling into the wilderness. Five of those? Yeah, Robin's a backpacking pro for a reason.)
At ten (because that's such a sane age to do this), Robin's mom nudged her out the door to do the traditional Kalos Gym circuit. Robin came home from that with a level 100 Espurr, several memory cards' worth of pictures of Kalos, and like, two badges. Her mom wasn't overly surprised.
This is kinda how Robin is. She doesn't want to be a powerful Trainer for the sake of being powerful. She makes herself strong so that she can easily do whatever it is she actually wants to do, which is See All The Things. She's not real worried about whether those Things are supposed to be Off-Limits or not, either. So, as you can imagine, she's fascinated by the stories of the mysterious and/or off-limits places of the world. Cerulean Cave. Mount Silver. Mirage Island. The Great Crater of Paldea.
So when her mom suggests Naruva Academy for her, well, she leaps at the chance. Mom figures hey, her kid may be a little odd, but she clearly has a way with Pokemon, and she's sharp, so send the kid to a good school and see what develops. Robin, on the other hand, is plotting her first Great Crater expedition within seconds of the conversation.
Does this mean she's in and out of the Great Crater a lot? Well, not really, though it's not for lack of trying. The Great Crater really is hard to get into without a flying Pokemon at the very least, and the strength of the wild Pokemon there is considerable. She never gets very far in before having to turn back for simple survival. Nevertheless, she's determined to see the bottom of it someday. (Also she does have to attend classes, which cuts into her exploring time severely. Gotta keep dem grades up or mom might pull her home! The grades net her a Tera Orb though, so hell yeah.)
One question that could be asked is, did she know the Paldea Pals before, since she's an established student? Well, yes and no. She knows of Arven, because the poor guy is utterly overshadowed at this point by his shitlord parents. She knows of Nemona -- there probably isn't anyone in the school who doesn't, to be utterly fair. She doesn't really have any opinion on either. They run in different circles, and the most she's interacted with either is whenever Nemona pounced on her looking for a battle. (Yes, she accepted. No, she never won!)
So how does she get pulled into the Scarlet story? Well, one weekend, while she was out chilling with her Pokemon in the wilds of Paldea, there was a really loud sonicboom overhead, and a few minutes later, a tired-looking red lizard Pokemon walked into her campsite. Like most people, she assumed he was a rare breed of Cyclizar at first, because who expects an ancient legendary Pokemon to just waltz into your life and ask for a sandwich? He's injured, but not badly, and she has the brilliant idea to take him back to the Academy with her and see if the teachers can help. She cuts her picnic short and does just that. No problem, right? Nothing life changing about that.
As you have no doubt guessed, the sonicboom was Miraidon fleeing the crater after being attacked by his nasty counterpart. Koraidon, in this melded universe, was brought over as well before <redacted>, and he and the Miraidon actually bonded and are buddies. When Mirai ran for his life, Kori tried to follow, but he's not as fast and had to land. (Miraidon has that jet butt, after all.)
From here, she gets enmeshed in the Scarlet and Violet storylines -- or, well, some of them anyway. The storylines are divided between her and Mirai's rider Alanna. They sort of swap between player one and player two frequently. Robin was involved the most with the DLC stories and Starfall Street. She was the one Ogerpon chose as a partner (maybe it was all that little sister experience!), and she ended up with Chien-Pao out of the four Treasures. (This is not quite as cool as it sounds. Pao just wants to PLAY. All the fuckin time.)
Let's see, what else. Oh, she has a massive crush on Perrin (unrequited), and though she starts out wanting to shove Carmine into the river, they bond over time and Robin kiiiinda thinks she's cute. (Does this count as Carmine x Juliana shipping? Probably not lmao)
Tl;dr, my Scarlet character is pretty fun.

two birds
sullys x sully f!reader
summary : two birds by regina inspired this so bad, lo'ak is your twin brother and you were his world but instead of neteyam, it was you.
warning: ANGST, lo'ak being so sad and desperate.
note: avatar has made me so depressed istg every time i remember nete dying i SOB. THEN I REMEMBER THIS SONG AND I SOB EVEN MORE. i used to think people lie when they say they cried while writing something they made BUT NOW IK ITS REAL CAUSE I'M SOBBING 😭
Tumblr media
sullys stick together. that was the shared motto of the sully family and you all lived by it.
you and your siblings were close but you and lo'ak are closer, probably comes with sharing a womb together.
neteyam was like your mentor, he was always there ready to help you with anything. while kiri wss your confidant.
jake always thought you were a miracle child, being so different compared to nete and of course, your twin brother. you were his princess
lo'ak adores you, he was always so over protective of you and as were you. usually lo'ak does the rash and impulsive decisions while you kept him on his feet to think rationally
yet right now, you were the one making rash decisions.
as you stood on the ship that was filled with sky people, lo'ak had dragged you three into saving spider, after you guys grabbed some guns for protection.
once you guys have finally retrieved the human boy, you sighed in relief thinking all would go well but quite the opposite happened.
you were steps ahead of neteyam and you saw someone about to shoot him by his neck, and you didn't spare any time to think when you yelled
"nete! look out" you yelled as loud as you could, and jumped in his way. you felt the impact of the bullet hitting right above your heart, it took the air out of you as you and your big brother jumped down to the water with everyone else.
"y/n/n! you're bleeding, why in eywa's name did you do that!" neteyam was panicking, trying to put pressure on your wound as you bleed out, painting his hands crimson.
you coughed out, "i couldn't let them hit you, nete." your breathing became shallow and your pulse slowing.
you see lo'ak was already crying as he went to carry you to the rock nearest. "dad! help, they shot y/n. please come help" lo'ak cried for help, his voice was shaking and he was scared for his life.
he can't lose you, you were his best friend. you were two peas in a pod. two birds on a wire.
you smile at him. "oh lo'ak, i'm so proud of you, tsmukan (brother)." you said, your voice hoarse.
this just made his eyes tear up more, he was crying a waterfall at this point. "y/n please. you can't do this to me. to us." he pleaded with you as he noticed you were getting drowsy
neytiri and jake got to where you were and the yell your mother let out made you wanna reverse everything. "no, no no, y/n. stay with us, princess." jake whispered, his eyes blurring with tears as he looked at your form.
neytiri rested you on her lap as she cried and prayed to eywa.
"everything's gonna be fine. i love you guys." you whispered, your eyes getting tired and starting to close.
lo'ak yelled no and tuk and kiri were sobbing by your side. tsireya was crying, she finally had a new friend and she was gonna lose you.
"come on y/n! you can make it, please you can't leave me. who will stop me from my stupid decisions if you're gone? my tsmuke." lo'ak cried, his head on your chest and he hated how he could hear your breathing slowing and your heartbeat decreasing.
you smile, looking around at everyone. memorizing their faces as you knew this was it.
"i'm sorry brother, i am tired. but i do not regret doing this at all. sullys stick together." you said, looking at lo'ak and brushed your fingers through his hair.
lo'ak cried into you as he felt your last breath. looking up at your face, he saw you have closed your eyes and he yelled.
neytiri kissed your forehead and sobbed as well, jake rubbing her back to comfort her.
jake was trying to keep a strong face for his family but his own waterfall of tears betray him.
he caresses your lifeless face and his tears fall. he whispers, "i'm sorry baby girl. rest now."
"oh dear eywa, why do you do this to me." neytiri cried out loud. she was tired, she had lost so many and now you.
everyone was mourning as they lost you
no room will ever shine as bright as it did when you walked in. no place will be ever as joyful without you.
lo'ak felt as though he just lost half his soul, and he hated the feeling. the empty feeling as his heart just keeps dropping.
tsireya tried her best to comfort him but she herself was bawling.
this was really it. they hated it but they knew they'd had to live with it.

𝗜'𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘀
This is gonna be bad im just warning you im freaking tired and stressed, they are gonna be Sad and Happy and UNHINGED.
Bradley has a little Rooster figurine in the front of his jeep, he got as a gag joke and was gonna leave it at whatever house he got it at but now has emotional attachment to it.
Jake's go to song in Karaoke when he is sober is Queen, he will belt out We Will Rock you, but when he is drunk enough he will sing Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 with every bit of southern twang he can
When Bob is really angry he will drop his midwest accent and go full on southern, like deep south
Natasha lost a bet in high school and had to get a bad tattoo, said tattoo was something like a duck with a cowboy hat, or stupid quote, you decide
Mickey unironically sings the lyrics to Taylor Swift's Love Story, like he will sing the bridge at the top of his lungs going sixty on the highway.
Rueben is the kind of guy to say he won't rage quit a video game then will toss the controller after failing two time's.
Javy would be the kind of guy who would let a kid paint his nail's, pink purple yellow, he does not care he will flaunt it off it because it makes the kid happy.
Bradley would somehow get a cat or dog, like one of those distribution system's like on tiktok, he would say he would foster it but end up keeping it naming it something human like, Kevin or Betty
Natasha say's she dosent like country music, but wont admit she would get down to some Luke Bryan here and there because who wouldn't
Bob seems like if he was put into a situation where him and his friend's got lost, he would be the calm one but on the inside he is panicking, he will see an exit sign with a restaurant and be like. "Guy's its okay there's burgers."
Javy will pull over when he sees cows and take there picture's. No joke would even try and pet one.
Rueben and Mickey are the worst people when it comes to trivia because they are so good at it, when they get an answer right they increasingly get more competitive.
Jake cried playing RDR2 when Arthur died and he also despised Micah like the rest of us.
Rueben is great at bowling, so good that most of the time no one play's with him
Bob will doodle little drawings on sticky note or notebook's when he is bored and give them to any of the dagger's, He drew Natasha a sketch of bird, she kept it in her locker.
Bradley has a mixtape from his dad, Goose, titled "Song's You Need to Hear Once", it's all filled with songs from the Sixties to the Eighties, all classic's from Rock to Motown, after his mom died he didnt dare to touch it, after the uranium mission he starting listening again.
Natasha has bracelets from her little cousin's that she wear's for good luck, they are bright yellow and purple string's, she never take's them off ever
Jake collects stickers from each state, his dad used to bring him a sticker from each of his trips before he got too busy, so he is trying to finish them off himself.
Mickey has a tattoo to honor his family, a way to have a piece of them everywhere he goes. A small quote in Spanish on his side stating Por aquellos que amo me sacrificaré/For those I love I will sacrifice
Reuben like to sleep in a hammock sometime's under the stars, reminding him of his childhood and growing up in the south, when he would play outside with his siblings
Javy is a momma's boy, in a good way, this man will always call his mom or text her about the thing's going on his life, before a big mission or detachment he calls her, tell her he loves her.
Jake has stepped on a jellyfish on a beach, after saying "oh they dont sting'" just for him to get shocked
Bradley broke his arm doing stunts on his bike as a kid, he has permanent scars on his forearm, he did in fact do it twice till Carole told him to not do it again.
Natasha and Bob learned the Rasputin Dance from Just Dance
Mickey has argued with people that pineapple belongs on pizza, he will full on go tooth and nail to defend his claims.
Reuben has knocked the Radio off in the Rec room, and has blamed it on Hangman, it was a whole debacle
Javy has a fear of snake's, he found one once and he took of running leaving his friend's to deal with it.
OKAY THAT IS ALL SHE WROTE, I know some of these dont make sense but I dont care i needed a stress reliver before another stressful week. AND THATS ALL SHE WILL WRITE BECAUSE THIS FAILED AGAIN

Birdflight!
Tumblr media
Design Notes:
This is actually the exact same drawing as the last Bridflight/Runningwind design I posted, I just added my little eye shine thing I started doing and I added my preferred font for the names!
Bird is a dilute red tabby, but he's a dusty color which makes him a bit more brown like in his canon description! I made him this color so that Sandstorm's color could be explained! She takes after Bird a lot!
Character Bio:
Birdflight
(Runningwind)
Gay; Cis Tom; he/him
Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 3 cycles, 7 moons; 30 Hyrs
Title meaning: -flight = this is an especially fast cat and/or a cat especially good at jumping; this cat always has energy
Hunt Charge of Thunder Order; Birdflight is one of the fastest and adept hunters of the Order, something he passed on to his daughter Sandstorm.
Mothers: Fogtalon (biological); Leopardfoot
Sire: Sparrowpelt
Siblings: Mousebite
Mate: Redtail
Kits: Sandstorm; Poppy; Flint
Grandkits:  Squirrelflight; Leafpool; Foxleap; Icecloud; Briarlight; Bumblestripe; Blossomfall
(note Leaf, Fox, Ice and Briar are not grandkits by blood)
Other notable kin: Specklesnap (aunt); Lionheart (cousin); Goldenflower (cousin)
Extra notes: Sandstorm got her confidence from him, Bird also spoiled her way too much, but he just loved his kit a lot <3
Sandstorm reminded Bird so much of his older sister Mousebite, it was uncanny how similar of personalities they had. He as glad that Mouse wasn't made Sand's mentor, he feared that the two paired together would be an unstoppable force of sass and mockery.
....
[Image ID: a digital drawing of Birdflight an au version of Runningwind from warrior cats. His is walking with his left paw raised, and his right side showing, he has a kind, happy expression on his face. He is a short furred, slender light brown/ tan sandy colored tabby tom with green eyes. He has a light cream under nelly, muzzle and paws, and his stripes are an even darker shade of brown along his back, tail, and on some of his face markings. His inner ears, nose and paw pads are all a light pink color./End ID]

Lost in a Maze
Note; This is the same sibling of sin from the fic of mine, Sodo or Dewdrop? who I decided to turn into an oc named Florence, Flora for short. Will be making an intro post for them sometime soon.
-- -- --
Florence was currently hiding from the sister who was encased with their care. They wanted to play outside longer but were unfortunately forced to take a bath after getting their clothes all muddy. ‘Florence! Come back here right now.’ Their caregiver wasn’t truly mad, simply stressed with everyone on her plate. In Flora’s haste, they ended up lost in the maze that was the abbey’s halls. Ending up near the ghoul’s den.
It was when they bumped into someone’s legs that the waterworks started. ‘Hey, it’s okay. How’d you get all the way out here?’ The ghoul helping them stand back up. Kneeling down to Flora’s height so his stature wouldn’t scare the little one. ‘I just want-wanted to play out-side a bit longer but sis-ter said I had to take a bath. But I didn’t want to so I ran. A-and now I’m lost!’ Flora sobbed, hiccuping through their words. Clutching onto his antlers.
‘Well, how bout we kill two birds with one stone then? I can get Aurora to help you with the bath, Phantom probably has some bath toys he wouldn’t mind you borrowing. Then we can help you find your way back.’ Mountain rubbed small circles on Flora’s back as she cried. Encouraging her to let it all out as sometimes you have to cry it out before fixing the situation.
‘Rora?’ They had met the ghoulette before in passing. Their caregiver letting them help the ghoulette in chores. Nodding, Mountain stood up. ‘I bet all that crying tired you out.’ He remarked as Flora sat, perched on his hip. ‘I’ll wake you when we get there.’ Mountain left out the part that the den was less than a foot away.
‘Everyone better be decent, we got a lost sibling.’ Mountain called out before entering. Laughing as he heard a few falls. ‘Aww, it’s little Flora,’ Aurora cooed, taking them from the Earth ghoul. ‘What the rascal do this time?’
'Florence ran away from bath time. Which, can you pretty, pretty please, with an extra cherry on top help me with?' Mountain begged with his hands clasped towards his chest. 'You don't have to beg. Of course, I'll help. Haven't seen this one in forever.' Watching as their eyes slowly opened. 'Rora!'
'Hello sleepy head. Are you ready for bath time now? There'll be bubbles and rubber ducks.' Smiling when they perked up at the mention of bubbles. 'Okay.' Aurora led them to the bathroom, placing Flora on the sink counter. Watching as the bubbles foamed up and the water rose. The ghoulette splashing her hand to make sure it was the right temperature. Mountain handing her one of Cumulus' old shirts to use as a nightgown, realizing that none of the group had any spare clothing for the kiddo. 'Thanks Mountain.' Waiting for the door to close before helping Florence into the bath. Turning the facets off.
'Tip your head back for me, sweetheart.' Aurora used one of her hands to guard Florence's eyes. Their pruned hands splashing the duck into the water. Making noises as it dive-bombed. The suds running down the kiddo's back, the bath water going murky.
'How about we get out and into some comfy pj's?' Aurora softly asked after seeing them yawn, the duck now bobbing afloat. Nodding, Aurora unplugged the tub. Patting the little dry. 'Can you raise your arms for me?' Maneuvering the armholes around their hands, letting the shirt fall.
'Now, let's go find Mountain so we can get you to bed.'

Heartbreak High
The new one, not the old one.
This show has always managed to confuse me and I don't know if it's an Australian thing or a writer's thing. I'm pretty sure it's the former coz it happens every time I watch anything Australian.
But this season was even more confusing than the first. Like in the first season, it was chaotic to me how everyone ended up fucking almost everyone, I could not guess who was going to get together at fucking all. All it took is for these fuckers to make 4-second eye-contact and BAM sex, get a grip. Ig teenagers are actually like that and I'm just a loser. Anywho, this season, the only thing that confused me was Rowan's whole character arc.
Let me break this down:
He said that when he came to Hartley High, he was just ready to move on from his brother's death, or maybe he wanted to move on in Dubbo, I dunno I kind of didn't pay attention. But like, he started killing birds and terrorizing Amerie with them on the first fucking day of being there, because she didn't remember him?
This motherfucker went into the forest, while Ant was busy threatening to cut his dick off, killed a bird, and put it on her bag? Sorry but how fast does this man act? What a machine.
Then he dated her ex-boyfriend? For what reason? Was it strategic? I still haven't figured that one out yet. Like sure it'll make Amerie jealous but he seemed genuinely into him so I don't think that's it. Actually, thinking about it now, Malakai is hot and Rowan was all "forget Amerie" or whatever so that bit does make sense tbh. I cried when they broke up go away, imagine the person you're dating calls u by their ex's name? ugh sad
Then after breaking up with Malakai and getting his heart savagely broken, he just starts dating Amerie? At first, I assumed that was because he planned to hurt her emotions, but he literally spoke about her to 'Jett' like he was into her, so that confused me. I thought he hated her?
Like bro seemed to not have a plan. I know he's not mentally stable and all that but like what was going on in his mind? He's trying to ruin her life, but also likes her, but also thinks she murdered his brother.
And why did he tell Malakai to fuck off when he started dating Amerie? Like was that genuine possessiveness or was that part of the plan? (My little brain was like "awe he wants to protect Malakai from whatever he has planned at that dance so he's telling him to go away, cutee he still likes him" but I'm delulu so ignore that)
AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF
His delusions just vanished with Amerie saying: "he died because he loved you" and a clip of Jett not being a part of Rowan's hallucination anymore... like excuse me, I need a clip of this man going to a therapist and actually acknowledging his schizophrenia, not whatever this form of fucking 'closure' is.
It was so half-arsed, it made me mad.
Man, I genuinely liked the guy, but it seemed like they created his plot 4 episodes into the season. Nothing linked.
Still was very obsessed with the show tho. The sarcasm and the sibling vibes were very entertaining. STILL THE PLOT MAKES VERY LITTLE SENSE. But, again I'm very bad at paying attention so I might've got it all wrong.
Side note: the principal's dog (Joan of Arc) with her little fuchsia-coloured vest were the highlight of this show for me, isn't that kinda sad? There is a scene where the principal is talking to Cash, and Joan is facing the opposite direction and I laughed at that for like 30 minutes, tragic.

Two Birds (Diluc Ragnvindr x Reader)
Tumblr media
CH NOTES: heavy angst, open ending, arranged marriage, gender-neutral reader, mental breakdowns, anxiety
Pairing: Diluc x Reader
Summary: A marriage between 2 friends where one leaves but the other tries to stay but fate has other plans.
A/N: a oneshot that I might continue. After this, I’m gonna finalize Love Affair 02 and fulfill requests!!
. . . navigation masterlist
Tumblr media
Diluc’s 18th birthday was the day when everything was supposed to be amazing. He expected to blow the candle with his father, his fellow knights from the Ordo Favonious, his brother, and you– his beloved fiance from Inazuma– by his side.
Yet why did his father die by his hands? Why did his fellow knights betray and disrespect him and his now deceased father? Why did his brother– now estranged– deceive him and the nation they have sworn to protect? Why did everything fall apart on his birthday?
Devastated and enraged, he left Mondstadt– forgetting that he left someone dear to him in the place he called home.
It’s been a week since Diluc left and oh god you were a mess. The death of Master Crepus and Diluc’s absence took a horrible toll on your mental health. Not only that but the political climate in your home country is starting to eat you up. Your parents– who stayed in Inazuma– begged you to stay away from there as you are a vision user, but you can’t just leave your parents alone!
You worry about your friends in Inazuma, will the owner of Naganohara fireworks stay safe? Or the Kamisato siblings? Would the Kaedahara wanderer and his friend be okay? How about the red Oni who swore to beat you in an Onikabuto match once you return home?
And God you worry about your runaway Fiance and his now estranged brother. Will Kaeya be alright? His 2nd father just died and now his brother left him all alone.
The entire day you have just been worrying about everyone you hold dear. The more you think about your current situation, the more anxious and angsty you got. You replay the conversation you had with Diluc, which happened the night before he left.
Did he really mean what he said? Tears start to well up in your eyes as you recall the things he said to you that night.
It was the night where you both screamed your heads off, the night where your true feelings came to light, and the night where he rejected you in the most brutal way possible.
You have been worrying about others these past few days but how about you? will you be okay? Will you and Diluc be okay? Tears start to roll down your cheeks at a rapid speed, you cover your mouth with both of your hands, hoping that none of the maids check up on you from your loud whimpers.
Right now you are in a foreign land— a place where you used to call your 2nd home because of your Fiance— all alone.
Your string of thoughts was disrupted by a knock on your door, “Master [Name], there’s a visitor who wishes to speak to you”
You quickly wipe off your tears. You turn your head facing the door, “Yes Adelaide, tell the visitor to make themselves comfortable in the Drawing (living) room”. You gulp slightly, hoping that Adelaide didn’t notice your husky voice from crying.
“Understood, Master [Name],” Adelaide says, walking away from your room– sounds of her footsteps growing faint.
You ponder for a few seconds on who might be the visitor as you didn’t expect anyone today. If you did expect anyone, then you wouldn’t be crying your ass off.
You sigh, not wanting to entertain the guest, but you have no other choice. You hope the visitor is someone you know, to make things less awkward.
You walk towards your vanity mirror, fixing your appearance to make it presentable, at most– though, your slightly swollen eyes from the intense crying session aren’t making things any better. You look at your reflection in the mirror one last time before you leave your room.
You walk down the stairs and then towards the drawing room-- now the door is right in front of you. You take deep breaths to prepare yourself. You put on a smile, placing your hand on the doorknob. You twist the doorknob and then enter the room.
And are you in for a surprise as your gaze falls onto the visitor sitting on the couch. Your eyes widen as you recognize your visitor, a blonde-haired man wearing a bright red jacket with a pyro vision on his waist.
Noticing that a person entered the room, he turns his head towards the door. Realizing that it is you, he immediately stands up and walks towards you– you freeze on the spot, What is Thoma doing in Mondstadt?
Your heartbeat quickens, hoping that nothing horrible happened to the people you love. Thoma looks at you with a worried and desperate expression. You look at him– mentally preparing yourself for any news this man would bring to you.
“Hello there, Thoma. What brings you to Mondstadt?” You smile.
You observe him as you wait for him to speak. You notice how his eyes look at you desperately, you notice how his hand is shaking, you notice how he slightly opens his mouth and then immediately closes it– as if he’s having a hard time trying to break the news to you.
The more he tries to say something the more your anxiety rises. Did something bad happen to your parents to the point he ran to Mondstadt without informing you beforehand?
After what felt like forever, he speaks up, and god how everything came crashing down from the things he told you.
“The situation in Inazuma is worsening, some citizens have started to revolt, making the country split in two.” He continues, “Lord Ayato is trying his best to tame the situation but it isn’t enough”.
“What about my parents?” you ask.
“Lady [Surname] is doing well, she’s been spending time with Lady Ayaka” he says. You sigh in relief upon hearing your mother is doing just fine. A bit relaxed, you ask about your father “How about father?”
Thoma tenses at your question, which isn’t helping your now rising anxiety at all.
“Lord [Surname] is helping Lord Ayato trying to tame the situation but,” He takes a deep breath then continues, “His health is starting to deteriorate to the point he is currently bed-ridden.”
Your eyes widen and tears start rolling down your eyes. Thoma immediately tries to reassure you that everything will be alright as Ayato hired talented doctors to take care of your father but it isn’t enough. You cover your mouth with your right hand as you sob.
Slowly, you start to calm down, after all a question has yet to be answered. You take deep breaths as Thoma looks at you worriedly. Then you look at Thoma straight in the eye— determined and still a bit tear eyed. You need to do something.
“So, what brings you here to Mondstadt, Thoma?” You said in an eerily low voice, almost as if you weren’t having a mental breakdown.
Chills went down his spine at the tone of your voice. Thoma gulped as he looks at your messed up face desperately, “Please, come back home, [Name], we need you.”
Tumblr media
bonus a/n: tbh i want to make this into another love angle but w/ ayato for the extra angst but idk,,,,, should i? hehe

I don't remember if you did or not, but do you have a post where there's like a family tree or something for all your RWBY things?
I want to be able to follow along, but it's a bit confusing.
If you do, could you give the link, please?
Funny enough, I don’t. If anyone has a good website for those family tree diagrams I’d love to know.
Until then, I’ll just make a simple list right now because asking about my ocs will always give be boundless energy. I’ll try being brief. If I write a name that has the last name of the main ship in the au, I trust I don’t have to explain who the parents are.

HELLO i see your requests are open and i'm kinda curious;;;
So the case is i really don't like sebek, like pretty much can't stand him BUT theres a scenario that happend in my dreams that was sebek finding mc crying (they don't really get along yet) the reason being she really misses home and feels super alone in this new world, so how do you think he would react after that? I wanna see if this fic makes me like him a little bit more (can be romantic or platonic u choose)
SORRY IF ITS TOO MUCH HAHA I GOT CARRIED AWAY
i understand that sebek could be a bit off-putting at first glance (with him constantly screaming about malleus and whatnot) he's the scrunkliest scrunkly that ever scrunkled if he ever grows on you. you'd go from crocodile (derogatory) to crocodile (affectionate)
naurr it's completely alright
side note: i'm so sorry that it was delayed this much 😭 i hope you enjoy 💛
Tumblr media
"Human, you're formally invited to a grand banquet at Diasomnia. Make sure to not be late as to not cause shame to Lord Malleus' name," Sebek handed you an invitation, in all of its black and green glory.
"I...I don't— I can't attend," you replied, handing it back to him. "You're declining an invitation from Lord Malleus himself?" he looked at you incredulously, bewilderment that quickly morphed into aggression.
"Do you not know your place?" he huffed, "The crowned prince of the great Briar Valley sends an invitation your way and you have the gall to decline?" he seethed.
Why are you refusing something that he's been wishing for his entire life?
"You're right, I don't know my place. But I'm sure as hell it isn't here," you replied, trembling, with tears that threatened to spill.
"What are you talking about?"
"I want to go home. I didn't ask for any of this shit I'm getting," the thinnest sliver of strength you had finally snapped. "I have parents, siblings. I don't want to be stuck in some dead end, crappy excuse for a dorm. I have a life, and I want that life back."
You were homesick, that much he gathered. But is it too much to refuse an invitation from Malleus Draconia, of all people?
"I don't belong here."
That certain phrase rang a few unwanted bells inside Sebek's mind. You do not belong here. How many times did he hear those words over and over. How many times was he shunned out, ostracized and frowned upon because of the blood that ran through his veins— impure blood. He was not fae nor was he human, then where should he belong?
He understands now. There's somebody else like him.
"But still, you are to attend the banquet. I'll escort you come seven o'clock," he left the invitation on the table. "I expect you to be properly dressed and groomed by the time I return."
You didn't reply.
Did he do the right thing? He wondered as he prepared the various tableware for the banquet. He moved absentmindedly, knee-deep in his thoughts and doubts about his earlier exchange with you.
"...bek? Se...k? Sebek!"
"WHAT?!" his voice boomed.
The crash of the now shattered, ceramic plate echoed across Diasomnia's ghostly lounge.
"You look troubled. Did something happen?" Silver asked, quickly moving Sebek away from the shards. "It's nothing," he grumbled.
"If it bothers you this much," Lilia emerged from the dark corridor, "Then it must be concerning," he used his magic to return the plate to its former, more pristine, condition.
"I assure you, Master Lilia, it's nothing of concern."
"Could it be...your conversation with the Prefect earlier?"
"Silver...! How...how did you know?" he hung his head low, his heart thumping quickly from anxiety. "A bird told me," came Silver's reply.
"Calm yourself, Sebek," Lilia Vanrouge's soft voice gave reassurance, but it barely did anything to ease his worries. "Your conversation with her sounded like it didn't go too well," Silver continued, causing Sebek's heart to beat faster than before.
With the mention of the Prefect, Malleus Draconia materialized from bright green wisps. "What about the Prefect?" the Diasomnia housewarden questioned, further exacerbating the half-fae's frenzied heartbeat.
"My Lord, she's declined the invitation. She does not wish to attend," Sebek gulped, jumping when cracks of thunder roared around the dorm.
"Sebek, if you should know, the Prefect is an endeared acquaintance of mine," Malleus spoke in a low voice, it was so threatening that it sent chills down Sebek's spine.
Sebek stammered, "W-we had an exchange earlier and...and— well, she had the nerve to not accept and—"
"And?"
"And I feel like she'll want to attend even less after our conversation..."
An uncomfortable, drowning, almost deafening silence filled Diasomnia. Save for the occasional rattles of thunder.
"Lilia, cancel the banquet. I have more important matters to attend to," Malleus waved off towards the dorm's vice housewarden. "No, I will not," Lilia's voice was stern.
"This banquet is as important to Briar Valley as much as it is to Diasomnia, and it is your duty as housewarden as well as the crowned prince to host the event and tend to the delegates," Lilia scolded. "But she's—"
"She can wait. This affair weighs worlds more than her."
Sebek hadn't felt more ashamed and embarrassed before. The irony that he was the one who would cause his Lord's rage and strike a disagreement between both of the people he looked up to. "Sebek," Malleus called.
"Yes, my Lord?"
"Seeing as you were the one who pushed her to such extremes," the fae prince began, "I task you with consoling her, take it as a chance at redemption. Stay with her until she feels better, I don't care even if it takes until sunrise."
"But Malleus, it's his right to attend. This abuse of power is something not befitting of someone of your caliber," Malleus laughed at Lilia's remark, "Abuse of power? I'm merely enforcing discipline and conduct to one of my retainers," he said the title with malice, meant to demean rather than to glorify.
"Take it as a chance at redemption."
"Malleus—" Lilia interjected, "No, I'll do it!" Sebek said, with the same loud enthusiasm he'd always offer his Lord. "If that's your decision..." Lilia sighed.
He offered the first year a pat on the back, "I'll save you some food for when you get back."
"Thank you, Master Lilia! And I will not disappoint, Lord Malleus!" with that, Sebek began his march towards Ramshackle dorm. To you.
Seven o'clock sharp. He was standing in front of your dorm, donning a black suit and a bright green tie. He had hope that maybe, just maybe, you'd decide to attend. He's always wanted to be with them, with true fae. "Um...are you there?"
"If you're here to escort me you're just wasting your time," you spoke from behind the door. "I'm...I'm sorry, I should've taken into consideration your situation..." Sebek said.
No reply. The lights flickered off and fading thumps of footfalls against oaken floorboards were the only replies he received.
What else could he do but wait. Diligently and patiently he sat on the porch, watching the stars as he passed the night. As Lilia says, "One cannot achieve greatness without patience."
Well, he didn't actually say that. He just thought it'd be cool if he did.
Come sunrise, as the morning dew rested on the last few blades of grass in your dorm's lawn, Sebek was still there. He waited, although he was silently snoring. He was slumped over with a plastic bag in hand.
"I missed the banquet," he sighed, "Well I never asked you to—"
"I know. I did it of my own accord, well Lord Malleus asked me to keep you company. But I swear most if it was because I was...I was guilty?" he rubbed the sleep off his eyes.
"I brought some leftover food from last night. Seeing as the headmaster doesn't give you enough budget to afford good food," he handed you the bag, filled to the brim with delicious dishes— savory pork and sweet and sour chicken, among many others.
You took it, "Come inside, we can eat it together."

Cyvasse
Summary: Oberyn enjoys a game of Cyvasse with his brother and they speak of his wife’s vacation in Essos. Robert’s ghost has joined the war of the five kings. 
Pairing: Oberyn Martell x Fem!Reader (reader is not included but she is spoken of)
Word Count: 1.6k
Author’s Note: (Lore used in this fic) Takes place during the war of five kings. Oberyn and the reader have been married since the end of Robert’s rebellion. Cyvasse is the a game played in the GOT universe similar to chess. 
Tagging: @thesadvampire​ my oberyn moot and the ever lovely @pedrostories​ case I keep forgetting to im sorry asjkdkjs. 
Tumblr media
Oberyn should have known the moment he saw the Cyvasse board set in front of his brother that something was wrong. 
“Come.” Doran’s face shows anything but a playful mood as he beckons his brother to the chair across from him. “Play a round with me, for old times sake.” “You mean get beat by you for old times sake?” Doran scoffs. “You can win, you just don’t want to put in the effort.”
It’s true. Cyvasse took far too long for Oberyn’s liking. He excelled at the game, but only when he had the patience for it-
Or the desire to beat his opponent. 
But now he has neither. One hand taps the rim of the table while the other raises over a bowl of berries set by his side the moment he sits down. Oberyn makes the first move. Sliding his heavy horse up one square, his brother watches with a smile. 
“Brash.”  Doran tells his younger sibling. 
“Decisive.” Oberyn corrects. 
They play in silence. It’s peaceful. The sun bathes them in a warm haze while birds sing in the garden. They do not rush, no royal court or council meeting urging them to do anything but enjoy the moment. 
But Oberyn knows his brother.
“Rumor has it that Stannis’ Baratheon’s army has a rather surprising ally.” Oberyn's hand pauses. Only a second long before he moves yet another piece, but Doran catches the brief panic with ease. 
“Oh?” “Yes. It is said-'' Doran's face melts into the frown that Oberyn has seen since he was a trouble-making child. One of scolding and reprimanding. “-that the ghost of Robert Baratheon has joined his brother’s side in the fight for the iron throne.” Oberyn snorts. He remembers your kingly brother. One whose last years of life were more aptly spent whoring and drinking until he couldn't sit up…and then some. He wondered if the idiot even still had the strength to swing that ridiculous hammer of his before he died. 
“Really?” 
Doran hums. “Multiple witnesses have claimed to see our deceased king in his armor by his brother’s side, war hammer and all.”
Your husband imagines you in battle. Voice raw as you let out a war cry on horseback in the midst of chaos. Body exhausted and armor slick with blood yet you fight on, rage in your eyes and teeth gritted as raise that ridiculous fucking hammer and unleash hell on the Lannister army. 
He smiles. 
“Must have been quite a sight.”
Doran moves his two spaces forward. Oberyn rolls a berry between his fingers. 
“How is your wife? Still in Essos?” 
He remembered the panic that had ensued when the palace staff awoke to find you missing. Nothing taken aside from riding clothes and food, with a letter placed upon your neatly made bed. He keeps it tucked into his robe and rereads it whenever his mind begins to wander to an unforgiving place. 
“And loving every minute.”
The letter had addressed him personally. Apologizing for such a quick decision for travel but confessed you must see the world on your own. Unencumbered by your husband or guards that would have followed. You called him “My love” and promised to write as often as you could. 
The only thing you would ever call him aside from his name was “husband” which was done in a tone of indifference on the kindest of days. 
It had been sealed with the Baratheon sigil. 
Doran had insisted on sending the guards after you and Ellaria agreed. But he had waved them both off with a casual hand that did not match the tension set into his shoulders. 
“She may be my wife but she is her own person.” He explained coolly. “Let her have her own adventures just as you have let me have mine, brother.” 
That night, Ellaria shouts at him for many things. For not comforting you more in Renly’s death, for not doting on you as a husband should, for not caring like he does as a lover. 
For letting you throw yourself into danger when she knows you are in pain. 
Tears fill his lover’s eyes as she berates him and slaps his chest. Calling him an uncaring fool. 
But he tells her that Stannis is all you have left. 
“She has lost two brothers.” He explains, after she lost her fire and lay in his arms motionless. “Who am I to stop her from trying to save the last?” 
“Then you should have comforted her, you idiot.” her voice is raw and cracked from the shouting and crying for you. The wife of the man she loved. What a funny relationship the two of you had. 
“She’s strong.” her lover promises. “She’ll come back.”
That night, they both dream of you slain in battle, crying out for your brothers as your blood flows through the cracks in your breastplate and eyes begin to go empty. 
The dreams do not stop when your next letter arrives, but seeing your handwriting brings them both a small comfort. 
“You need to bring her home, Oberyn.” “I’m not her keeper, Doran.” The younger prince shrugs.  “She is enjoying herself. As her husband it is my job to make sure she is happy.” 
“Not when her galavanting vacation puts our house in jeopardy. You need to understand-” 
“-I understand that my wife is in Lys.” Oberyn clipped. “That she has left of her own volition and will only be brought back the same way. I have no intention of forcing her to do anything.” 
Doran finally moves his king. 
“Stannis intends to take Blackwater next.”
Oberyn pinches the berry between his fingers a touch too hard and it bursts, droplets of juice run down his wrist and seep into the cuff of his robe. 
King's landing. Home of the bastard king whose family wore so much blood on their clothes it had seeped into the very thread used to embroider the golden lions they wear on their chests. 
“He does?”  
A heavy wall of defense and countless men willing to die for it to protect the corrupt lions that pace behind it. 
Most lords do not engage within the heat of battle. They fall to the back to survey their army and call out commands. Stannis was level headed and decisive, his army relied on his orders to keep them fighting. 
“Has your wife told you where she is going next?”
But Robert fought alongside them. He charged into battle with a thunderous war and his hammer held high. He was at as much risk of a vicious death as the rest of them, it’s why his men loved him so much. 
His ghost seems to be doing the same.
“Mors.” Oberyn’s voice cracked out. His brother’s eyes softened at the look of concern on your husband’s face. “She’s heading to Mors.”
“I wish her a safe journey home.” 
“As do I.”
Oberyn prayed to the gods, old and new, that the ghost would not charge into battle senselessly.

Okay so
For various reasons, Sonic Adventure (SA1) is among my dead favorite games. The two relevant to this rant are the characters and the gorgeous soundtrack (in fact, I might go on a tangent about individual songs at the end of this).
My favorite character in the game is E-102 “Gamma” (btw if you derail this post about Omega, you die), a robot built by Eggman, who runs on animal power, as Eggman’s robots usually do. However, Gamma contains a very special animal - it’s a surprise tool the will help us later. Five minutes into being born (and after training, ofc), he is forced to shoot his brother, E-101 “Beta”. Following this, he board’s Eggman’s ship (the Egg Carrier) and is tasked with catching the tailed frog. Upon collecting the frog, he is transported to the past, where he experiences childlike wonder at the chao. Back on the Egg Carrier, the rest of his siblings are cast out because of their failure to get the frog. After that, Gamma is sent to execute a prisoner. On the way, he makes a wrong turn and ends up in the machining room, where he experiences eldritch horror at the sight of his brother being disassembled and reassembled. In the prison, he finds Amy Rose, who has a blue bird flying around with her looking for its parents. She convinces him not to kill her a la Mindy Animaniacs, and protects Sonic out on the deck of the ship, further confusing Gamma. He leaves the crashing ship, now convinced to “rescue” his disowned brothers. After successfully disposing of them, he is ambushed on the Egg Carrier by Beta Mk II, who feigns death in order to shoot Gamma in the back, and they both die as a result. Lo and behold, Gamma and Beta contained the parents of the bird. Reunited, they fly off into the sunset.
TLDR: Gamma is Eggman robot who experiences eldritch horror and compassion and forsakes his master as a result. He “rescues” his siblings before dying himself, and the animal inside him reunites with its family.
Now, a little more background before we get to the main point. SEGA Sound Team popped off for this game. Each character has a theme song that plays during their respective recaps and end credits (each one has an entire storyline with slight variations on who does what (it’s all happening at once)). Side note: I’m like 70% sure SA1 is the origin of Knuckles jazz. It should also be noted that I have a youtube playlist of songs on queue for downloading, and when I run out of ideas I scroll through the recommended additions section.
E-102’s theme is in my top three favorite songs from SA1. You’ll never guess what it’s called! Theme of E-102γ. And that’s my first talking point. I was reading the comments on one of the music videos, and one of them made a connection that his theme doesn’t get a proper name because he’s just another cog in the machine. Even Big the Cat has a greater role in the main story than him. And yet, doomed by the narrative as he is, he gets his own story. As another comment pointed out, each story has its own (literary) theme: Sonic is Adventure, Tails is Independence, Knuckles is Recollection (I’m kinda iffy on that one), Amy is Protection, Big is Friendship, and Gamma? Gamma is heart and soul. Compassion. Morality, something that shouldn’t be possible, and definitely isn’t comprehensible for a robot, especially one of Eggman’s creation.
As a side tangent here, I’ve been putting rescued in quotes when it comes to Gamma and his brothers, but I realized something between the time I started writing this and now. The animals that drop from the E-series robots are birds. They’re all his brothers, inside and out. I had always assumed that Gamma had meant rescue only in the liberation sense. I never realized that he meant it both ways. I just… I’m need a moment.
As a side side tangent, I think this is one of the biggest differences between E-100 ZERO and the rest. To my knowledge, he didn’t have any animals, much less another bird, and that was what led him to the brutish oafishness that we see displayed by him.
Back to the main points, I think that all of this is reflected in the song. It starts out with all of the synth, vague vocals, electro, etc. that would be expected from the theme of a robot, and then you’ve got… PIANO. Oh my god the piano. Piano Man has its harmonica, and this song has its piano. In the midst of the circuits, the wires, the computers, there’s life, a heartbeat, a soul. And with the soul comes that twinge of sadness. Sure he freed the animals, but to do so, he had to kill his brothers with his own two (?)(does the gun count?) hands. Due to this and the cumulation of everything else, hearing the song (or the variation of it) during his final cutscene hits and hits hard.
youtube
THE REPRISE OF THE MAIN THEME PIANO AS HE DIES IN OBSCURITY. THE OTHER BIRDS ARE LIKELY THE ONLY ONES THAT END UP KNOWING ABOUT HIS DEATH
It’s okay I’m okay I’m so normal about this
Now that the main rant is over, it’s time for me to hoot about the other songs
Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy …for Ice Cap
I get that it’s a snowboarding section, but still. THEY BOTHERED TO USE GUITAR IN A SNOW LEVEL. NAME ONE OTHER INSTANCE OF THAT THAT ISN’T LITTLE BIG PLANET’S THE WILDERNESS’S SITAR.
Limestone Cave …for Ice Cap
Ambience plain and simple. Good for falling asleep to
Snowy Mountain …for Ice Cap
Another ambience piece, this time with another guitar (no this doesn’t count for the challenge I posed above). Love the mix of electric and acoustic
Welcome To Station Square
“The train headed for the Mystic Ruins will be departing soon.” Came for the guitar, stayed for the trumpet.
Red Barrage Area …for Hot Shelter
SAX (shout outs to the rest of Hot Shelter’s music btw)
Militant Missionary … Boss Egg Walker & Egg Viper
Hopelessness, despair, DRAMA. Things may not have gone to plan, but Eggman is surely still the one in control.
And finally, shoutouts to Bad Taste Aquarium, Pleasure Castle, and Dilapidated Way for going full throttle right out the gate.

It’s Complicated, My Darling: Character Introductions
Of course, we all know who our beloved Nick Folio is but in this universe, he is not the drummer of bad omens; Folio is a detective in 1941. Besides Folio, every character in this story is entirely fictional, so when you see mentions of his “family” in this story, they are NOT his real family.

A Long Walk
Rating: PG
Pairing: Muriel x Lark (He/They Apprentice)
Part of @monthly-challenge 2024 | Long Walks
Summary: Every summer Muriel and Lark go on another long walk...
(Side note: this takes place in my own head Cannon of three sibling apprentices, so it mixes a bits of Julian's, Asra's and Muriel's story line all together. Trust me it's been a hell of a time working it out, but this takes place after everything)
They started out early in the morning. Inanna was ready to go as she led the way. They had a breakfast of spiced pumpkin bread Sparrow had sent along as ‘have a safe trip’ kind of thing. Lark rolled his eyes when he read the note his sister had left him in the bag with the bread. “She says don’t get into trouble,” he snorted tucking the note back into his bag as they walked, “I don’t get into that much trouble.”
              Muriel’s lips turned upwards as he spoke. “Yes, you do.”
              “Seriously, you’re taking her side?” Lark asked with a small sigh. “I gotta stop letting you hang out with her, she’s a bad influence on you.  Next thing you know she’ll have you doing research and talking about the newest plays coming out.”
              Muriel snorted. “I wouldn’t go that far,” he said, as he took Lark’s hand in his.
              Lark smiled as he laced their fingers together. There was something truly magical about the forest in the early morning, with all the bird song and morning dew on the leaves. Up until a while ago Lark had never truly appreciated all these little things but with Muriel it was now easy to see. They walked in silence for a while, just enjoying the surroundings and each other.
              They made good time walking. Nadia had offered them horses, but they preferred to travel by foot. It just felt better that way. When night fell, they camped with no tent. They did their best to travel during the drier seasons, so rain wasn’t an issue. They made a fire though Lark still found himself cuddling close to Muriel with Inanna either at their feet or in Muriel’s lap with Lark. The big man made no objections, sneaking in a kiss or two to Lark’s hair as the smaller man talked. Lark had borrowed a book about the stars from the royal library, which allowed him to point out the many constellations in the night sky as well as the myths behind them. At night they lay together, Lark resting on Muriel’s chest being calmed by the sound of Muriel’s heart.
              It’s funny but the walk seems much faster than before, as it has been every time, they have taken it. The funny little in keeper knows them by name now, always having a room ready. “You boys are my best customers,” the little man jokes.
              Lark raises an eyebrow. “How many customers do you actually get around here?” He never really gets an answer which he can’t decided it that’s a good thing or not.
              The rest of the walk is pretty much though they do notice little changes here and there. Time continues on in both nature and city, with old things being torn down and new things being built. As they came to the final leg of the journey Lark paused up atop a hill, taking a moment to breathe in the air filled with the scent of forget-me-nots. Soon they can see the circles of stones, marking the resting place of Muriel’s people. Muriel is silent but his mood seems less heavy every trip, his face seems less pained. They place flowers on the graves of Muriel’s parents and Khamgali before going into Khamagli’s hut. They want to spend a few days there before heading back home. This is the long walk they make every year and one they plan to make for a long time still.

CONNECTIONS
FAMILY: The youngest of three children. His eldest sibling is Penny and the younger is Amber. He is the brother-in-law to Amber's wife, Crystal, and former brother-in-law to Penny's ex husband, Robert. Uncle to all of his sister's kids - Derek, Dennis, Jesse, and Ethan. Only son to parents. Beyond them, he has a loose emotional/familial tie to Shale. While she very much sees him as a brotherly figure, Jaden only vaguely sees her as a little sister but leans into the image to foster better relations between them. FRIENDS: Civilian friends have been cut off ever since he had to start living off the grid to avoid federal arrest. As of right now, Jaden has Shale, Silas/Gramps, Judas, and Hot Spot. ROMANTIC INTEREST: Multiship friendly; In the baseline verse, there is Judas. In a variety of AUs, there is Judas and Hot Spot (seperately; not poly). ENEMIES: Achim and what remains of M.E.C.H. in his own timeline. OTHERS: Agent Fowler is vaguely aware of Jaden's reemergence into general society. He doesn't know what Jaden's aliases are or where exactly he's hiding, but he does know that Jaden is somewhere in the vicinity of Hot Spot and Dennis because Hot Spot has credited Jaden to a lot of the recently turned up, burnt, and trashed M.E.C.H. outposts scattered across the US. Robert has reported Jaden for being near/causing trouble for Dennis too, hence how Agent Fowler knows he's around the kid to some degree.
FACTS AND TRIVIA
Jaden narrowly survived the mass execution C.Y.L.A.S. performed on M.E.C.H. personnel after the success of his own life saving operation. This haunts Jaden deeper than he cares to admit and he has a bit of survivor's guilt from the whole experience, even though he doesn't wholly sympathize with his former coworkers.
He has an undiagnosed and untreated case of arthritis in his right shoulder. The trigger to pain flare ups are unknown but sleeping in his right side does seem to contribute into episodes.
All of his outdoors experience came from his work as a park ranger in the western United States. All combat experience came from recruitment training after he joined M.E.C.H..

Tumblr media
This lil dude
Unfortunately he was REALLY skittish and i wasn't prepared to take care of him, i barely did any research and it didn't help that my mom was scaring him more by tyring to make him be around people
He just wasn't a people bird so i had to give him to a bird sanctuary, i hope hes happy there :>
Tumblr media
This is coment (star) and coral (crab) i got them at edisto and i plan on taking them again when i go back this year (maybe, idk its not set in stone)
They're siblings but its more like coral adopted coment as her brother, also coment thinks he's from the stars but he's really just a star fish and coral doesn't have the heart to tell him otherwise
Tumblr media
This is sticks (hedgehog) and twig (sloth) my gran gave me sticks from her trip and she gave twig to one of my little brothers but they're not very good at taking care of they're plushys... and we have dogs who like to chew up plushies.... and i found him on the floor... so he's mine now :)
Also they're boyfriend and partner (sticks goes by any pronouns but twig is a boy)

Tumblr media
“Aww, they’re all so cute! I think it’s real neat that they all got their own stories n’ lore! It’s clear that ya love n’ take good care o’ all your lil’ guys. I appreciate you sharin’ ‘em with me! It always warms my heart seein’ the things my lovely lovely patrons feel so strongly about!
They’re all precious! I think it’s sweet that Yunobo used to be a dog toy that wound up with a much more cherished existence. Givin’ Tutu a new face must’ve been no small undertakin’, and I think y’all did good! Your mama makin’ Dolly for y’all is real nice too— stuff that’s handmade with love like that is always so meanin’ful.
Amari might not be a plush, but she’s cute n’ I’m happy to have gotten to see her too!
It’s kind o’ y’all to share so much with me— I don’t think it’s annoyin’ in the slightest, so don’t worry your pretty lil’ head about that none, okay? I appreciate you n’ I hope y’all have a wonderful day— and I hope all your lil’ friends do too!”
