I'm a huge fan of Lewis Carroll and his work. The Cheshire cat is my favorite character!
Tadc cast x Cheshire cat Reader
Tumblr media
★ A Cheshire cat would fit into the circus well. The circus grounds have many places for you to hide away in. Lots of trees are around the grounds. Perfect for you to lay around in.
★ Pomni would like you better if you told her things without the wordplay or vailed riddles. Why is everything you say so confusing? Cant you just tell her something directly. It would make her life easier.
★ Her favorite thing about you is that you let her take her time. Usually she doesn't have a say in the things that happen around her and to her. If she doesn't want to do something with you, you respect it and let her be.
★ Caine loves the way you talk because it's so whimsical. He enjoys your speech pattern and likes trying to decipher your cryptic way of speaking. You fit in the circus wonderfully, in his opinion.
★ Turning invisible is one of the more unique things Caine's seen a person do. He's pretty tempted to put a bell on you. How can he keep his all seaing eyes on you if you're invisible?
★ You get along well with Zooble. They enjoy how calm you are. Also you don't make them do stuff. That automatically makes you likeable to them. Aside from that, you two often hangout on the sidelines.
★ You have your eyes on Jax. He's a trouble maker and you'd much like to stay away from trouble. The rabbit might be a very bad acquaintance.
★ A watchful eye would be useful to keep Gangle from being pushed around. She gets harassed by Jax more than everyone else. Just chuck an apple at his head when he's up to no good.
★ The difference between him and you is that you know when you've gone too far. At first you steered clear of him, wanting to stay away from the trouble he makes.
★ The two of you would actually get along well if you let yourself get to know him. It would take a bit of time for a friendship to form. And some convincing from Ragatha. But mostly time.
★ You are, undoubtedly, a little insane. Everyone here is, you're just the only person to fully accept it. If you ask Kinger he'd say that he's the only sane one and everyone else is off there rocker.
★ Tea with Kinger is his favorite activity that doesn't involve mealtime, bedtime, adventures or anything else in a 24 hour period. He doesn't really like tea.
★ Kinger is a good friend of yours. When he's having a bad day you remind him that "Imagination is the only weapon in the war with reality" to help him cope.
★ Because you have thumbs, unlike most cats, you can help Ragatha with sewing up her body and dress. She really appreciates the help. When Ragatha has a problem you're the first person she goes to.
★ You help, but in your own way. Advice is what you do best but she (and everyone, really) has to decipher whatever the hell you said. Like "Haste makes waste, so I rarely hurry. But if a ferret were about to dart up my dress, I’d run."
You don't have a dress.
★ Whenever someone asks for clarification on what you say you just turn invisible and walk away. It's for them to find reason in.

okay why i am i OBSSESSED with ur works. Just had an idea. Maybe assassin reader is usually the sunshine golden retriever and tan is usually grumpy black cat vibes but when reader gets angry or is upset/ annoyed, tan turns into sunshine character cuz he doesn't like seeing reader upset and they switch roles for a minute. I kinda love the slow burn so i feel this dynamic is before and after they get together. idm if u do hcs for this. Loving ur writing atm :)))))
@12johnwick897 thank you so much for your kind words! love your support, my dear friend and i hope that you enjoy! feel free to send as many requests as you'd like! buckle up guys lol!
tangerine x golden retriever assassin reader headcanons:
tangerine is known to be extremely hot-headed and when he gets particularly angry, there is very little one can do to calm him down - somehow, though - your presence, your touch, and your voice all calm him down
if he's arguing with someone while on a mission, you'll put your hand on his shoulder and squeeze it gently, giving him a smile
he'll turn to you, brows furrowed and scowling, but his expression will soften and he'll become much more level-headed
you'll hold his hand too - the first time it happened he was cursing left and right, threatening the life out of someone. he didn't even realize your hand clasping his at first and when he does he becomes flustered and the anger just simmers out of him (i'm tempted to write a fic just for this scene 🤫)
from then on, he's much more open and vulnerable, going out of his way to seek your touch - whether it's the squeeze of your hand or the weight of your palm against his back
lemon catches on straight away and gives extremely knowing looks to tangerine, which you are oblivious to
lemon would be like "something to share with the class, tan? to which tangerine would merely reply with a "piss off..." and you would sigh thinking that they're just brothers being brothers
of course, you feel something beyond friendship for tangerine - you've always been drawn to him and felt something inexplicable for him; but, you're content with continuing this little dance of affection for fear of ruining your friendship if he doesn't feel the same (but of course he does)
now, you were usually his sunshine - you're like the light of his life, always hopeful, always positive. but every now and then, even you get upset.
the first time tangerine sees you truly, truly angry is when you two come across another assassin after the same job as the both of you; the assassin makes some comment about one of your prior friends
she and you had joined the agency at the same time, becoming assassins at a very young age. the two of you were inseparable until she had been killed on a mission. her death was a sore spot for you.
this assassin you faced had been her ex-boyfriend and a rather terrible one at that - he admitted with pleasure that he had been the one to kill her
with that one comment, your happy demeanor fades and you become a complete force to be reckoned with; you're beating this guy up before tangerine can even reach for his knuckle dusters
by the end of it, when the assassin's a bloody pile of a mess, tangerine is filled with a sense of awe but his heart also aches for you
he wishes to comfort you so he takes his hand into yours and doesn't let go. not even while he's driving back to the safe house after the mission, not when you get inside.
you're unbelievably silent and tangerine can make out the mixture of fury and sadness in your teary eyes. he takes you into his arms as if you're the only precious thing in this world and you fall apart. you're kenning, sobbing - you're mourning for someone you practically considered your sister
he understands the pain and runs his ringed hands down your back - you're holding him like you never want to let him go and he lets you; he wants to be there for you - always
when you've calmed down, he looks down at you and hesitates. even though you've been crying, tangerine thinks you look so beautiful. he fights the urge to kiss you right then and there and instead places a kiss on your forehead.
from then on, tangerine considers it his mission to ensure that whenever you're upset, he makes sure to be extra soft and caring with you - in a way that he's not with anyone else, not even lemon.
of course, he's still the same - easily infuriated and curses like a madman but you're there to calm him down and he's more thankful than ever for your presence.
things have changed though since that night when you got upset. tangerine has started to look at you differently - you'd find him gazing at you for a few seconds too long and when he'd look away, clearing his throat, you swore his face was slightly flushed.
lemon was beyond frustrated. he could tell- clear as day - that you were already in love with tangerine. similarly, he watched his brother long for you, fall in love with you.
how could both of you be so oblivious?
things changed on the bullet train. the tension between you and tangerine was palpable - so much so that even ladybug could sense it.
ladybug and maria start a bet on when you both will get together when he finds out that you and tan aren't together yet
ladybug only referring to tangerine as your "boyfriend" which irked you beyond belief - probably only because it upset you that it wasn't true
when ladybug and tan are fighting, ladybug would be like "woman, calm your psycho boyfriend down!" or "this is the same man i saw practically cuddling you when i walked past you earlier?!" or " i know a great therapist for couples' therapy, if that's something you'd be interested in"
when tan gets pushed off the train, you were furious at ladybug and terrified for tangerine. you definitely beat the shit out of ladybug before he managed to slip away.
when you bump into tangerine again after he makes his way back onto the train, you're in shock and then so thankful - you jump into his arms and hug him, tears in your eyes.
you thought you and lemon were going to die on this godforsaken train, leaving tangerine completely alone in this world.
and he's beautiful, even when he's all bloody and covered in broken glass. you can't help but notice that to the point that you realize you're just staring at him in silence.
he's looking at you with so much longing in his eyes and he leans toward you, his forehead against yours, and asks, "can i kiss you?"
you happily oblige and one thing leads to another - maybe a trip to the train bathroom for something a little more 😉
then you and him find lemon, who's thankfully still alive, but not without scaring the fuck out of you and tangerine at first when he practically arises from the dead.
then, the three of you decide to hop of the train - with or without ladybug, who - if he came along - would be thrilled to have won the bet over maria and would call her gleefully.
tangerine would be annoyed as hell by ladybug's antics but secretly thrilled because tan ended up with you in the end
and as your relationship continues to develop, you'll always be there to calm tangerine down with a simple touch and he'll do the same when you're upset
but he doesn't only become completely soft for you because he doesn't like to see you cry - it's because he realizes that you make him want to be a better person - you complete him.
AHH hope you guys enjoyed this and sorry it was so long!

LORE POST #1
Redesign of my Chat Noir redesign to go together with my rewrite which I will talk a lot about under the cut. I'm pretty set on this design too and will link it at the beginning of the fic when I get ten chapters completed and ready to post :3
What is different from canon, why I am changing some things, etc. Feel free to just read my thoughts around the design if you want to read my fic without any guidelines of what I'm planning so far for him
BUT I won't spoil anything major dw
The design:
I've changed chat noir's design so it would blend in more at night. The preferred the sleek black tones over the glow in the dark green I gave him before. I take a whole lot of inspiration from the PV of miraculous ladybug in these designs so of course his hair is still floofy.
When initially designing Chat noir, the tips of his hair are darker since I really liked that trait some other redesigns gave him so I included it without making his whole head of hair black.
I got the idea to base his design off of rust and RAN with it! He still has some greens in his design but they've shifted closer to yellow green and gold for the color scheme!
I've liked the idea about the clothes in the hero designs looking more cloth like too so I've incorporated that into the design with pockets and a zipper cause I can. Since Adrien has been thinking about being a superhero for a while, his design is more thought out were it could be.
EDIT: Forgot to mention!! Ladybelle has a lil more black in her design and now chat has a little more red! :3 matching
I saw some concept art of Chat Noir with a hat at one point and I loved it so much I wanted to keep it in to a certain extent, SO Marichat moment all the way. I decided to add the bells back into his design (I missed them) and took inspiration from @/callimara's Chat Noir design.
Chat noir will still be very cat like in this and I thought it'd be funky if his feat were like a cat's
Overall it isn't much of a design change for some aspects but I really like how it turned out!
K story stuff now:
I want to get ten chapters done before I post chapters again on the first fic since I don't think I did the best job introducing what I've changed. This isn't talking about adrien agreste's life this is more his role as Chat Noir. I'll get to adrien when I get his redesign sheet finished
(any part of this section might be edited in the future but this is basically part of my ideas)
Honestly a whole lot of the fic(s) is(are)
Fault of canon? -> Solution
I've been developing for two years now and I just gotta write it out... Entirely hinging on my execution sigh
Chat noir's powers are now on a more equal footing with Ladybug's (Ladybelle now) and I'll get more indepth when I post Ladybug's redesign and stuff but basically
The miracle box is a mix mash of several miraculous's from other boxes due to an event Guardian Marianne caused. Supposedly, she unleashed the Rabbit kwami of time on the guardians in an act of defiance. Resulting in rips in time eating away the members present for such an event, burning to death in fire. Marianne managed to run away with the miraculous's she could obtain and do her best to live her life knowing what she's done.
The Ladybug and Cat miraculous are a duo pair. Strongest when used in a partnership. Many are tempted to use both at the same time for what the powers merge to become but this isn't the strongest path.
Tikki and Plagg are soulmates you could say. They aren't really romantic but they are bonded for life. Never one without the other.
They are the only miraculous pairing in the new mixmash of the guardian box. Eventually Marianne gives the responsibility to Master Fu, her lover, before the rabbit comes after her as well.
I'll talk more about the changes I've made to Tikki's character in Ladybelle's post but as a part of the Miraculous cure, something all pairing miraculous's have to purify evils and darkness, it requires both parties to be present. Usually some form of touch or communication initiates the Miraculous cure
"Pound it!"
Chat noir can use his power alone to defeat evils but it's like cauterizing a wound. He doesn't figure this out for a bit.
I'll talk more about the miraculous cure in Ladybelle's post
This is still a part of the story I'm working on but:
the miraculous of destruction gets more powerful the longer the user wields it. With techniques and familiarity, Chat noir will be able to make black pockets of nothing just from a touch. Yes I'm including this from the concept art. Though he'll only get this later down the road
Tumblr media
Chat noir is still a form of escapism to Adrien and part of his character arc is realizing he can't rely on it like that. A large part of adrien's character I'll talk about in adrien's post ties into Chat Noir too
I'm still figuring out some plot points for him so this is where I'll end this off. But I will say I'm planning on Chat Noir getting more time with the kwamis and more of a role in the Guardian arc and guardian stuff in general

The fungus. The fungus! THE FUNGUS! THE F- but in all honesty, your honor, my wubby little blorbo shit man is so cute and those headcanons are on point.
Now, indulge my brain rot for just a second. Just imagine the other primarchs finding out that Mortarion had not only found a partner, but that they’re completely normal-looking and super kind. They’re pleasant smelling, friendly, talkative; everything Mortarion is not. I also like to imagine his partner talking about him like he’s a stray cat they picked up off the side of the road. Like,
“Yeah, he has his moments. Sometimes he can be a little cranky but I still love him. Sure he tried to kill Gulliman, but that’s just how he shows love!”
“Oh no I can’t wash that sweater. If I do Mortarion will freak out! He sleeps on that thing every night. Now, I have to go. If I’m not in his chambers at exactly 5 pm he’ll get lonely and cry so hard he’ll throw up”
Jesus christ that last sentence nearly made me piss myself laughing. Mortarion in a nutshell. The man is incapable of expressing himself in any productive way, so to have a beloved that is like, normal? Insane. No one thought Mortarion had any pull. Hell, they thought he had negative pull.
Also. I'm sorry but I got inspired by this so I hope you don't mind a drabble. No warnings apart from it being very rough and I only revised it once. 'She' is used once, but I can change it if you want.
Tumblr media
Sanguinius walks into the massive room and makes a line right for the desk, of which Guilliman sits behind. He takes one glance upward at him, and notices the way he seems to be holding back a smile, and his wings are almost twitching. His eyes return to the parchment underneath his pen.
"I am busy. It better be quite important." Sanguinius tilts his head slightly to the side.
"You are always busy. But I can assure you that you'll want to hear this."
Eyes cast upwards at him, Guilliman looks at him with a furrowed brow. It would be quite odd for urgent news to be delivered with such a positive disposition, so he wonders what Sanguinius could possibly need to say. He waits on less so bated breath, and more so slight irritation.
"Mortarion has returned to Terra," Guilliman glances upward, and for a second Sanguinius sees the unfettered rage of a man on his wits end flash through his eyes.
"That is not urgent news." The angel has more words on his lips as he smirks and gently waves his hand. "I know, but let me finish." Guilliman puts the tip of his pen to parchment and continues writing while he waits for him to finish.
"And he has brought his lover with him."
The Primarch of the Ultramarines almost has to ask Sanguinius to repeat himself, even though he knows he hear it correctly. He pulls the tip of his pen lest it begin to drop too much ink, setting it into the well and looking up fully.
"Mortarion is courting someone?"
He would've been less surprised if it had been Ferrus.
Sanguinius' smile cracks through his withheld expression just a bit more. Guilliman wonders if he fought for the honor of surprising him with this news.
"Believe me, we were just as surprised. But she's here in the palace now. I believe Fulgrim got to her first. He seemed completely distraught afterwards, so I wanted to go take a look for myself."
Guilliman hears in his tone that there's an invitation to join him on his lips. And while Roboute knows that he has work to do, as he always does, he can't say this isn't a tempting offer. After only a moment of internal deliberation he sighs, and rises from his seat.
"Very well. I can't say I'm not curious."
The two of them walk side by side down the myriad of halls that only make up a tiny section of the palace, Sanguinius leading. He seems to have an idea as to where Mortarion and his supposed lover is. Guilliman doesn't quite know why he hesitates to fully believe this is even true. He doubts Sanguinius would ever lie but,
Mortarion?
While it takes a bit of searching, eventually the Primarch of the Death Guard is found, and his lover with him. Him and Sanguinius stay back, intent to watch the scene for a moment. And even though the two of them are silent, if anyone had been close they might've been able to hear the two of them thinking.
You seem, normal.
Guilliman thinks you wouldn't look out of place in a shopping district on Macragge. You wear the regalia of your Primarch's legion as decoration on your clothing, fabric a pallid purple, but nothing else seems out of place.
But unlike Mortarion who stands behind you sulking, you are all smiles- speaking to Vulkan with what seems like pleasant conversation. Where Mortarion seems unkempt, cast in a sour, near depressive moue, you seem nothing but clean and polite. Your smile is warm, as you compliment Vulkan about something as simple as the unique embellishments of his legion's armor, and Vulkan takes it with a signature humbleness. Though if he had to guess, Vulkan was also quite surprised that Mortarion's choice in lover has proven so, unlike him.
Guilliman watches, and when he looks to his right, he sees Sanguinius watching his expression closely. Guilliman looks back to the scene ahead of him.
"Hmm. Odd."

Whilst I'm at it, if the cast decided to write fanfiction, would they write, what tropes would they be fond of and who would be writing the filthiest and freakiest of smut you can think of.
Ok so assuming everyone had to write one and they couldn't say no this is what I came up with
Tumblr media
Takemichi- superhero fic, very cliche, follows pretty much every trope. It's dedicated to Hina too (she loved reading it). It's probably got something to do with a 4 leaf clover in the name.
Mikey- Writes fic about Taiyaki kun being the hero, probably a long adventure type story, taiyaki kun rides a motorbike at one point, it's a wild read.
Draken- He'd likely be very big on the found family trope, you just know his fic would be about some rag tag group coming together and bonding to the point of becoming family (the villian is probably based on Hanma).
Hina- oh definitely romance, the hero saves the girl, the girl saves the hero. She just writes the perfect couple and then overcoming any obstacles together in their way.
Emma- Romance #2, she writes the cutest fluff you can think of.
Naoto- Probably a horror mystery with plenty of occult themes and references. He looks key really enjoys writing it so it's probably a long multiple chapter fic, with a bunch of people following it.
Kisaki- Story about the hero however with a major plot twist towards the end showing the hero was actually the bad guy. It's actually very well done and clever despite how cliche it may sound.
Hanma- ok I see two possible ones here, either he takes it seriously and writes one of the most interesting fics ever (hey he knows whats exciting and what makes a good story) or he absolutely does not take this seriously and writes the smuttiest smut to have ever smutted and attempts to annoy the others with it.
Kazutora- i think he might do something a bit different and write it in letter format, as in character's sending letter's to each other. Letter's probably mean a lot to him and he's likely the most comfortable writing in that format so he uses it in his fics.
Baji- Cat story!!!!! There's definitely some kind of big cat fight scene (baji can't resist) but ultimately it's a happy story. He probably also makes a few spelling errors but it's ok since Chifuyu helps him correct anything. 
Chifuyu- Was tempted by Baji's cat story but settles on a person romance instead. It is full of manga references and the girl eventually kisses the guy after he gave her a polkadot based surprise. Probably a soul mate au.
Mitsuya- very detailed fic, like expect everything to have every last detail described (especially people's clothes).
Hakkai- space story! Probably a self insert about him going to space and being a hero (when he comes back mitsuya is incredibly proud of him).
Pah & Peh- They do everything together including fic writing. Definitely a story about two friends (them two), is a happy story about these two friends vs the world.
Smiley- fights, fights and more fights, everyone just wants to beef each other here.
Angry- I think he would write am interactive type fic, like the type where people comment and choose what they want to happen next, I just think he'd enjoy the interactions with people.
Mucho- coffee shop/ bakery au! Actually probably writes about his friends working there, izana is the manager, kakucho the assistant manager, sanzu is a loyal customer, mucho himself prepares the cakes, the Haitani brother's face the customers, mochi handles the drive thru and shion is the dishwasher who keeps breaking things. 
Sanzu- definitely a royalty au about a king and his loyal soldier. 
Inui- probably heavily use the miscommunication causes the main issue trope, he's seen it irl and knows it really can cause a bunch of problems.
Koko- probably a fix it fic, writes about a fire but this time no one dies, the girl gets saved and ends up happily living with her rescuer. This is probably actually something he uses to work through his regrets.
Yuzuha- a cute fic about a sister protecting her brother, she probably beats all the bad guys easily (and the brother's phone lockscreen is of the sister)
Izana & Kakucho- they work together to make another royalty au but this one focusing on the king and his kingdom, the story of this king creating his new world.
Ran- oh definitely a very obvious self insert story. The main character? Flawless hair, everyone loves him, has a little brother who adores him, dresses famously, treated like a celebrity. The guys name is probably like nar or something. Just basically his perfect life, tries to make it very poetic too.
Rindou- probably actually a song fic, the type with lyrics to match the mood. He just expresses himself a lot through music so brings it into his writing too.
Shion- another one with a self insert fic, this one really does go over the top though. Writes himself to practically conquer the world, winning every fight he gets into. 
Senju- Probably a fun adventure fic, I think she would also be pretty big on it being a family adventure/ a found family adventure. 
Wakasa- ok idk exactly why but he gives me those text fic vibes, where two characters are texting each other. I feel like he'd actually kinda unexpectedly enjoying making it too. 
Benkei- Another fic very high on the action, a lot of fights, the characters are likely based on the 1st gen Black dragons.
Shinichiro- Say's he's going to write smut but then gets too embarrassed and ends up with fluff instead. 
South- ok I think he'd also write a kinda lyric fic but instead of lyrics he'd just straight up put musical notes down. He's just so passionate about it and doesn't really care if others don't understand what those mean (he'd passionately explain it to anyone who asked though)

Smooth Words, Sharp Teeth (Part 2)
Kremy LeCroux has a silver tongue and steady hand, all verbal agreements on his part and written ones on the parts of others. He has no pens, yet the ink of his contracts is always pitch-black. The promises and rewards leap off of the page and the consequences and fees hide in print smaller than an ant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frost observes his companions quietly from where he leans against the wall to the lower decks. Gricko is a familiar enough face, and almost too familiar antics, as he holds a fish in front of Hootsie and moves around in an attempt to train her to do more tricks. Gideon is an interesting watch as he downs grog, his chains scrapping against the deck as he lifts the tankard higher and higher to get every last drop. Frost wants desperately to know more about those chains, about the why, the how, the story.
He could get it all if he wanted to. Just walk right into Gideon's mind and open every door, flips through every memory, glean every intent. And he's tempted.
But this... agreement? Truce? Partnership? Whatever this group is, these two duos come together, it's too fresh and new and easy to break for Frost to do any poking around where he'd not be welcome. It's also not right, morally, of course. But the mystery is so intriguing that Frost needs that extra nudge away.
Kremy is up by the helm, talking to the captain. He's got both hands wrapped around the head of his strange skull cane as he leans over the much shorter human man as the two negotiate terms.
Frost had wanted to, initially. But his two new companions had stopped him in his tracks, literally. Gideon had picked him up like an actual cat, dangling him in the air by his underarms.
"Let Kremy handle the talkin'," Gideon had said as Kremy himself re-applied that ridiculous drawn-on mustache. Up to that point, it was the most perplexing part of the alligatorfolk.
"I'm very good at negotiation," Frost had argued. "And would you mind putting me down? This is embarrassing."
"I think it looks kinda fun," Gricko had said from somewhere below. "Gideon, can you carry Hootsie around like that?"
"Uh... alright."
Frost was set down, Hootsie was scooped up with a happy hoot from her little beak, and Kremy finished touching up his "mustache". He gave Frost a confident smile.
"Trust me Frost, we're dealin' with some shady sailors here! No offense, but you're a little too... good-natured, to handle this."
Frost crinkled his nose. "Is that a compliment or an insult?"
"Depends on who you are and who's givin' it. Make yourselves at home fellas! We'll be on the move in no time." Kremy had given one last grin before moving aboard the ship, the rest following behind.
And so comes the present, with Frost sitting and watching as Kremy talks with the ship's captain. He looks enough in his element, but...
Well. They met Kremy in the middle of a jewel heist, and while it was Frost's and Gricko's first real Big Crime born of a desperation, it had been clear from the get-go that Kremy and Gideon were experienced, to put it mildly.
Frost gets up and, casually as he can, moves his way across the deck. He gets all the way up to the helm, moving to look out over the harbor like he's just trying to get a better view of the goings-on of the dock. The captain and Kremy don't pay him any mind.
"It's a fine deal, lad," the captain says in a gruff voice and thick accent just made for seafaring shouting. "But ye be carryin' delicate cargo, do ye not?"
"Just some odds and ends we're lookin' to trade," Kremy says back smoothly. "Nothin' you need to worry about."
"Aye, aye. O' course, needin' to worry isn't the same as not worryin', is it?"
"What'll soothe your worries than, friend?"
Frost glances back as subtly as he can. He sees the captain grin, and though the man's human teeth are nowhere near the points of Kremy's, his smile is just as sharp. "A bit o' reassurance, lad. A cut of your profits, just to make it worth my risk, you see."
"Oh, insurance. I understand that, in fact I respect it!" Kremy taps his fingers on his cane, his claw 'clink, clink, clink"ing against the inside of the eye socket. "But I'd feel much more assured if I could have that in writin'."
"We push off in less than half an hour, lad."
"No problem there." Kremy raises on hand and snaps.
Something opens. A portal of some kind, but nothing like Frost has ever seen from his masters or in his training. The portal that opens beside Kremy's head is dark, and active.
Wailing. Dreadful wailing. Voices overlapping as they cry out in horrible regret, in warning, but there are too many to make any sense of the words.
The portal itself is strange. It's pitch black, yet swirling. Neon shapes and outlines, horrible and strangely alluring at the same time. Frost's fur stands on end, hidden by his robes and hood. He nearly hisses at the thing.
But it's only open for a second or two as Kremy just reaches in and pulls out a scroll and a pen.
The captain eyes both of them warily. "What kind of magics do ye be bringin' onto my ship, boy?"
"I'm nothin' more than a simple warlock," Kremy assures, putting the hand holding the scroll to his chest. "The Good Baron is my patron, and that means that this contract is an unbreakable agreement. As soon as you sign, our shared interest in an uneventful voyage will be assured."
Frost's tail twitches as he waits for the captain's response. The captain seems to consider it for a moment, and then snatches the scroll away roughly. He reads it over, murmuring to himself as he does.
Frost tries to get a glimpse of the scroll itself, craning his neck. Instead, he catches Kremy's eye.
Frost freezes.
Kremy winks. He taps two fingers against his forehead and then gestures them at the captain, before turning his full attention back to the man in question.
Frost isn't sure why it's been suggested, but he reaches into the captains mind as he assumes Kremy wants him to.
"Would you kindly read a little faster, friend? I'd like to get this locked in before it's time to go."
In the physical realm, Frost sees the captain's eyes glaze over for a moment. In the realm of the mind, Frost feels it halt. He feels every thought stop, fade, and senses Kremy's words take hold.
Kremy is eyeing Frost in a way that's hard to read.
Frost eyes him back. Very easy to read.
"Well, it looks alright to me." The captain clears his throat as he holds out his hand for the pen.
"Good to hear." Kremy hands the pen over.
The captain takes it and puts the contract against the wheel to sign. Kremy watches without moving, casual and calm, as the ink begins to flow. The captain pauses for a moment, and then continues, beginning to sweat even as a breeze picks up and blows past.
It hits Frost's nose.
It smells of iron.
The contract rolls itself up as soon as the captain is done signing and disappears in a puff of neon-outlines shadow smoke. Kremy tips his hat to the man and saunters over to Frost with a gleam in his eye. "Well?"
"Well what?" Frost considers pulling his earplugs out. Would that work in combating whatever spell Kremy used?
"What was it like, being his mind while I used Suggestion?" Kremy is almost excitable as he asks. "Gid says it feels like nothin' but I'm thinkin' that's more on account of, you know, the haze of the magic and all."
"You do that to Gideon? Isn't he your companion?" Frost leans away from Kremy a bit and once again considers his ear plugs.
"We've got an agreement about it, don't worry about anythin'. So? What is it like?"
"It was... halting. Like um, like his very mind hit a wall and complete shut down for a moment. Like a-a snuffed candle flame."
Kremy is grinning as he listens. It's not the same grin he'd had while speaking with the captain. It's less sharp, less conniving, but given the context of why Frost feels no less unnerved.
"And then his mind was returned, but uh, it-it was influenced. Your will imposed like a-a layer over this own thoughts."
"You've got a real way with words, Frost." Kremy pats him on the back. "That was fuckin' music to my ears."
"You uh. Don't plan on using that on myself or my companion, do you?"
"What, you and Gricko? Nah, nah, not unless he opens his big fuckin' mouth and gets us into trouble. No offense meant, he just, seems like the type."
"... I wish I could say you were wrong."
"If you want to guarantee it-" Kremy snaps his fingers, and again that horrible portal opens for a moment. This close to it, to the wailing and neon glyphs and strange magics, Frost can't help him and does hiss at it, his tail poofing up on instinct. Kremy holds a contract in his hand in moments, and Frost tries his best to smooth out his tail fur using his mage hand as he regains his composure.
"No, no thank you."
Kremy chuckles, genuinely amused, and does a quick hand-flick motion that makes the contract disappear in a thin shadowy wisp of smoke. "I was just messin' with ya. I get the feelin' y'all aren't the type I need extra magical assurances for. You seem like an honest, well-meaning type'a guy. And your friend uh, Gricko?"
"Yes, that's his name."
"Alright. Yeah, you two seem like people I can believe won't be turnin' me in anywhere or stabbin' me in the back. I think a nice firm handshake is enough here." He offers his hand out.
Frost takes it, tentatively. He feels no magic along with the act. It's just a regular handshake between two gentlemen.
Kremy tips his hat to Frost. "Well, I'm goin' down below to make sure we get the nicer spots. If we're lucky I can even snag private rooms!"
"Yes. I'm sure luck will be your only factor."
"Look at that, ya already know me like a friend." Kremy winks at him and strolls down to the lower decks.
Frost quickly moves down to meet Gricko and Hootsie on the main deck. "Gricko, do not sign any contacts that Kremy gives you."
"What?" Gricko keeps scratching behind Hootsie's little ears. "What do you mean, Frosty? He seems like a swell guy! A real upstanding citizen! Other than, you know, the whole meeting during a caper thing, I suppose."
"Just, trust me. And not him, for now."
"Well, alright, Frosty. How long will we really be traveling with these guys, anyway?"

2024 media thread part JANUARY :D
1st January: Super Mario Bros. Movie
finally got around to watching this, and okay, yeah- it was a lot better than i expected. a good time! really fun to watch! it definitely felt like actual fans worked on it, or at the very least, that Nintendo kept a real close eye during production. loooved the little nods to canon; when Pauline showed up, i literally paused to excitedly tell my mom about who that was, haha. also LOVED the difference uses of power ups!! tanuki suit AND cat suit my beloved :]
Bowser was definitely the high point, like!! that IS my little guy!! Jack Black did SUCH a good job, and man. the ANIMATION. the bits where he got all snarly was SO good. would have loved to watch those on the big screen. Luigi was also very Luigi, which i always appreciate. Mario was... eh? not bad! Chris Pine did an okay job, and while i would have preferred something more, it was... fine. and Donkey Kong was a whole lot of fun, actually? tempted to check out his games, because i did really like him
meanwhile, my BIG BIG complaint, is Peach. like, holy fuck. they absolutely butchered my girl! like, yes- as characters, none of them have a lot of personality to work with, but they're archetypes. you're supposed to push within the archetypes- they even did this with Mario. but they just- they completely abandoned who Peach is, as a character. straight up just wrote Daisy instead, which is. really frustrating! and i dislike it A LOT, because there is so much you can do with Peach as a character, and they didn't even try
but otherwise- fun movie! could have been so much worse!
4th January: Outpath
really relaxing and chill game, where you basically just run around collecting resources, upgrading stuff, and unlocking more island. definitely one of those 'put on some music and zone out for a bit' games. that is not a negative
really liked the graphics, and it was fun to just- run around? you get more movement upgrades as you go along, and it actually plays really nicely. also some tasty environmental sounds
i'm not a 100% done with it yet, but i hit the end credits, so. not sure i'll get all the achievements, but i do intent to go back and clean up some loose ends. also really like how it incorporates some idle elements, like you still getting credits(/money) while being offline. makes it more rewarding to open it up and vibe for a bit
i do think there was an.. attempt? at some kind of story, but i entirely missed it, so i guess that's my only real critic. it was just a fun chill game to sink like, 25 hours into lol
9th January: Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight
i've had this game in my library for literally who knows how long, and it's one i've always been aware of, since it was really big back in the day, and oh my god. oh my god, why did i not play this sooner?
it's rather short, took me around 7 hours, but it just- it nails what it wants to be, this tough little game with so much moodiness and tragedy, and i'm so enamoured. i tried playing the original one before this, but it wasn't quite hitting, but man. this one just. it hit so fucking good
there's so many layers here, so many unspoken little details. so so much tragedy you could really dig your fingers into, and as a Tragedy Enjoyer, ooooh it hits good
i'm considering either replaying it myself, or watching a LP and then writing some fic, because there is a little thing hiding here, something i want to put words to. it's good, can't wait to check out the rest, and the upcoming sequel/finale. also, the game is gorgeous
18th January: Switch OVA
so Switch is a two episode long 'adaptation' of a manga, and while it very much just drops you into the middle of the plot, it- works? like, i personally wasn't missing anything, and the case they chose to adapt works really well as a teaser for the manga, because i did leave it considering checking out the manga, and while the whole thing isn't anything to write home about, i did enjoy myself
(i also watched the whole thing on my phone, curled up in bed, so that did maybe increase my enjoyment. it was cozy! what can i say!)
funnily enough, i did walk into this thinking it was a yaoi, and while i don't think it is, there really was nothing to disprove me of this assumption. there's literally a moment where protag guy gets told 'he likes' the other protag guy, and he bLUSHES. LIKE. STRAIGHT OUT OF A YAOI FR FR
all in all, it was honestly just a really cozy time. it wasn't long enough to lose my interest, and there was enough in it to keep it- and i really like the design of the red haired guy! very simple, but really appealing too. i genuinely might check out the manga, my interest is definitely piqued

Any other interesting things you have been working on recently besides writing Summer Storm?
And also, how are you feeling after your surgery?
PS -May we see your cats again if you don't mind sharing a photo?
I'm doing a lot better now! The first week or so was miserable, but at this point I'm feeling much more like myself rather than the shambling undead.
I still have a bit more to wrap up in Summer Storm, but I'm trying to take it easy going into December, so I picked up my fibercrafts again!
Tumblr media
It's very relaxing and I'm happy with how it's coming along! I suspect at the current rate of progress I'll be done in a few more days and then I can move onto my next project (which may be another bookbinding effort, assuming I get out to print my color pages; otherwise I still have a bunch of yarn and a ton of patterns to play with).
On the bookbinding front, I have two that I've finished typesetting, one of which is mostly printed (just need the color pages); the other I need to figure out my printing logistics. I'm also picking at a very silly typeset off and on just for fun, which compiles long Tumblr posts rather than a fic.
Besides that, I'm thinking of maybe trying to dip back into some fanfiction once I'm finished up with my first draft of Summer Storm -- I've been having more Three Houses thoughts, so I may go back to Claude sooner rather than later (though continuing the Sci-Fi zine Awakening story also looks very tempting).
As for the kittens, ask and you shall receive:

modern au... Where.. sage is in a band... With Lucan, Balsam, Tulsi and elowen...
SAGE WRITING SONGS FOR MC<333 MC GOING TO ALL OF HIS SHOWS T-T.
making out back stage😼
Sage teaching MC how to play guitar, carefully guiding your hands to the proper frets and chords.. kissing their cheek when they do a good job.
If his band is somewhat popular...
HandiesInHisDressingRoom
SORDY I HAVE SI MUCH BRAIN ROT LOSLOL
CRYINGSCREAMINGTHROWINGUPILOVEBANDAUS
GN!Reader, I think it's so much funnier if their band is popular but you have no idea who they are, mix of scenario/HCs, NSFW under the cut
It's a normal day in the café when the bell above the door chimes and- hey that rhymes
:)
Anyways, normal day. Guy walks in. He's cute. You get the vague sense that you've seen his face around before but don't dwell on it. It's a café after all. Lot of repeat customers.
You can hear him humming.
He comes up to the counter to order and flashes you a pretty smile. You smile politely back and ask how you can help him today.
It's a standard response but then why does he seem surprised? His fluffy ears give a twitch and the tip of his tail flicks like you caught him off-guard. But he seems... A little pleased, too.
He orders some stuff - a latte, a sandwich, a cookie - and when you ask him for his name he seems a little amused.
'C'mon. Really? You don't know me?'
Shit, are you supposed to? You're about to say that it's just standard procedure or something, hoping to spare yourself the awkwardness of having forgotten someone, when something crashes behind you. You whip around to see your coworker having just dropped a plate of danishes that were gonna refill the display case. You rush over to check if they're alright but then they let out this very fangirl-ish (gender neutral) squeal and go 'Omg! You're Sage Lesath!'
And the guy does not seem surprised. He laughs a little. Your coworker rushes over to start pestering him with questions and compliments and more noises while you're stuck cleaning up the damn danishes.
You hear the bell chime again and more incomprehensible-excitement-noises so presumably your coworker can at least distract them for a moment while you finish cleaning up. There's only one cook in the kitchen back there, but luckily they don't seem to have any interest in whatever's going on so more danishes can get made.
When you come back, there's a whole ass group of people now and your coworker looks like they're about to faint. You go to get everyone else's orders and find out (mostly through breathless squeals) that the newcomers names are Lucan, Balsam, Tulsi, and Elowen.
It's only at this point when you're clearly (colloquially) nonplussed that your coworker finally asks why you aren't more excited. And you kinda shrug and say that everyone seems lovely but you're not entirely sure why you would be excited over your coworker's friends that you don't know?
You have never seen your coworker look this exasperated. Have they really failed you this badly? Do you not remember them practically tying you down to a chair and making you listen to that new album like, two weeks ago?? You admit that you'd started reading fanfics and totally zoned out.
Yes I'm plugging my own shit don't judge me
And the others are laughing at this whole scenario. Another customer is coming in so you finally shoo everyone away from the counter. You have a job to do y'know! And as your coworker finally scurries back to the kitchen, you take the new or-
...
Sage is lingering by the counter, ears perked and tail swishing in amusement. Once you take the order and the new customer moves off to the side, Sage settles his elbows on the counter and watches as you move around.
Normally you might be a little weirded out but... he looks like a cat. Well, more of a cat than before anyways. You're almost tempted to pet him. But instead you make some conversation. While Sage is certainly flirtatious and a little cocky, you can't help but notice something genuine underneath. When you casually ask if all the flirting is some kind of rocker persona... Well, he gets a little flustered.
When all the food and drinks are ready, you load it up on two serving trays and haul it over. Sage trots along after you like a lovestruck puppy.
The others ask you to sit with them for a little bit. You point out you're still on the clock but your coworker encourages you to do it, whispering (not all that quietly) that if you get free tickets then you have to give them one. You promptly shoo them away while they laugh.
Through a mix of Google, Spotify, and laughter, you find out they're a punk/rock/indie/whatever band (everyone keeps arguing about it. Google lists them as alternative) called The Griefers. Elowen is the lead singer, Tulsi is the drummer, Balsam is the keyboard/pianist, Lucan plays the bass, and Sage does guitar (though he sings once in a while as well).
R,,,rau,,,,,raunchy photoshoots,,,,,,,, hehehehehe,,,,,,,,,
When you scroll across a particularly suggestive pic of Sage (as in naked with his guitar - Zenith - covering his crotch) you immediately exit out of that.
'Aw, you don't like what you see? ;)'
He's all snuggled up next to you, so you flick his nose. He leans away but laughs, and his cheeks are a warm pink.
-
It doesn't take long after that for you to be invited to their practices. It's a little weird with all these stagehands and sound techs and whatever running around behind you, but over time you get used to it.
You get your own dedicated little loveseat and everything.
It doesn't take long for you to start seeing through everyone's professional personas. Lucan is an over-excited fluffball that loves animals, Balsam is a total sci-fi nerd, Elowen gets startled by jump scares and Tulsi likes anime.
And Sage? Sage is an absolute dork who gets flustered when you cheer for his playing or bring him a coffee or tell him he looks nice today.
One day, it's Elowen that invites you over to the soundstage. And so you clean yourself up, pack some snacks for everyone (they prefer danishes and cookies from the café over the stuff from the craft table. That's what they say anyways, but you're pretty sure they just like getting to have a friend bring them something personal), and head over.
You come in through the back like usual, stopping to chat with one of the stagehands you're friendly with, when the sounds of an argument catch your attention. Sounds like it's between Sage and Elowen. That's definitely not new. Especially when you hear Balsam laughing.
'-and it hardly seems fair,' Elowen is saying. You can't decide whether she sounds more annoyed or amused. 'Not to us, and certainly not to them.'
'Gods, why don't you just mind your own business?!' there's Sage, sounding as frustrated as ever. Elowen has a way of getting under his skin that makes his fur absolutely bristle.
'It becomes my business when they're all you talk about. If you cannot admit it to them, then you should at least be able to tell us.'
'Fine!' Sage snaps. You come around the corner to see the cat all fired up, tail lashing around and ears pinned flat. 'You want me to say it, I'll say it! I'm in love with MC!'
.... *Badum-tiss!*
That would be Tulsi - who just noticed you - hitting a rimshot.
Balsam, who notices you, starts wheezing.
'Don't laugh!' Sage is more exasperated than anything now. 'This is why I didn't wanna tell you guys, because you were gonna be assholes about it-'
Lucan beams brightly and waves to you. 'Hi MC! Did you bring those snake pastries I like? :)'
Sage pauses. His ears perk and twitch as he turns to look at you. His face goes bright red.
'.... Night take me.'
Balsam is wheezing so hard that he's gone completely silent. Help him.
-
You and Sage start dating after that.
Obviously you get backstage passes to all his shows. He loves getting to see you before and after a performance, especially since he's usually buzzing with so much energy and he needs a way to get it out.
On that note he's very touchy-feely when you're backstage. Sometimes it's making out and squeezing your butt a little, other times it's nuzzling and purring and getting his fur all over you.
It's inevitable that pictures of you two together get out. You get,, mixed reactions. On the one hand, a lot of people think you two are an absolutely adorable couple, and Sage is clearly happy with you. On the other hand, a lot of people are jealous and shit-talk you as a result.
So obviously Sage gushes about you every chance he gets. If you're comfortable being on his Instagram then he posts selfies of the both of you and always captions it with something about how sweet/kind/adorable/lovely etc. you are and how lucky he is to have you.
He also likes leaving those 'sugar daddy hmu' type comments on your page because he thinks it's really funny
If you don't really wanna be on social media then he respects that, and he saves all his gushing for interviews.
Teaches you how to play the guitar,, stands behind you so he can guide your fingers along the fret board,,, his palms are so warm and his fingertips are all calloused,,,,, kissing your cheek when you do it right,,,,,, humming along,,,,,, tells you that with a little practice you'll be the best player ever. Maybe you can replace him when he wants to take a break? Oh but if you need more lessons then he's happy to keep his arms around you ;)
You play with the band sometimes! Just during practice or when you guys are goofing around. Everyone teaches you a little bit about their instruments. You find out Balsam's keyboard can record things and he recorded Sage's impromptu love confession, so Sage will be in the middle of practicing a solo and Balsam will start playing it on full volume to fuck with him.
Sage does write songs for you and he's always so shy about it. He only ever sings it when you guys are alone though. Usually at his or your apartment/house/whatever.
You get free merch so that's cool
I think Sage used to kinda overdo it at the after parties, but now that you're there to keep him in check he's a lot calmer. Obviously still drinks and possibly gets a little high but he's definitely not blacking out like he used to. It's after one of those parties, when Sage is curled up in your lap taking a cat nap and you're stroking his hair, that Tulsi points it out.
He gets hit on a lot. He always has, of course, but now it almost seems to happen more often. It always kind of annoyed him before but now it downright pisses him off. Everyone knows he's in a very happy relationship, thank you very much, so can't they just fuck off or something? He always tells you about it when it happens, and it makes him sulk a fair bit. Do people think he's a cheater or something? That he's so sex-crazed that he would betray you like that?
You always hug him extra tight and kiss the top of his head and remind him that he's all yours, and that makes him feel better.
Tumblr media
It's a little silly (at least, that's what Sage says) but he still gets anxious about performing sometimes. It depends on the crowd size.
And tonight's performance has a lot of people.
He's got about twenty, twenty-five minutes before he needs to be on stage for final checks.
His tail won't stop flicking around and his ears are flattened and he keeps rubbing the back of his neck.
You ask him if there's anything you can do to help. He looks over at you, amber eyes full of sincerity, and softly asks if you can just,,, let him forget about everything for a minute?
I think that's one of the things he loves about you. You see through the music and the rock persona and whatever to who he really is, and he just... Really needs to be reminded that he deserves love and affection. Not as the lead guitarist for the Griefers but as Sage Lesath, a dorky cat man who chases laser pointers and is spooked by ghosts and once walked into a door because he was too busy texting you to pay attention to his surroundings.
You :) tell him :) to sit down on the :) on the table :)
He's a little flustered but agrees, sitting on the edge of the little table. It creaks ominously but holds fine, so that's good.
You set your hands on his hips,, tuck yourself between his legs,,, cup your cheeks in his hands and kiss him all soft and gentle and sweet. He purrs into your mouth and gradually relaxes, tail winding around your thigh as he pulls you closer so your chests are flushed. You trail your fingers through his hair,, scritch behind his ears,,, give him a lil tug so his head falls back,,,, you kiss his cheek, the underside of his jaw, gently press your lips against the spot where you can feel his pulse jump. His breath comes out as a broken sigh, and his words become a little whimper.
You give his ears one last affectionate scratch before dropping your hand back down to his waist. Give his sides a little squeeze. Then start trailing your hands slowly up his sides, sneaking under his jacket. He's practically trembling under your touch.
As you gradually trail your kisses and bites down his neck and to his shoulders, you coo to him. Tell him he's such a good kitty cat, your good kitty cat, so cute and so sweet and so lovely,,,
And it doesn't take much for you to feel his cock getting hard in his pants.
He's panting softly, all flushed and lovely and eyes dark with need. You carefully unbutton his pants (after undoing the various belts and straps that are part of his costume) and roll them down to his knees to let his dick spring out. There's already some pre leaking out of the tip, and that makes it easy for you to take him in your hand and pump his shaft. His head falls back and bumps against the wall, purring and moaning and bucking his hips a little. You use your free hand to peel back the collar of his jacket and leave a hickey on his shoulder, where it'll be hidden.
Then you leave one on the crook of his neck, where it probably won't be hidden. The makeup artist will totally have your ass for that but it's worth it.
Oh, he looks so cute, all blushy and panting and drooling like that... You love him so much.... And tomorrow morning, you're gonna wake up wearing his jacket and make some breakfast in bed, and you guys can spend the whole day cuddling on the couch and binging movies and laughing. And in the evening, maybe you guys can go on a date? Just something simple, like ice cream and a walk in the park or something like that. And then you'll go home and ride him until he passes out :D
Sage whines that he's getting close. You could already guess from the way the tip of his tail is flicking around like crazy.
You quickly squat down and take the tip into your mouth, bobbing your head up and down a few times until he lets out a warning cry. Then you pull back, opening your mouth wide and letting the tip sit on your tongue and looking up at him. He's watching you.
And you wink.
And he cums in your mouth.
You wait until you're sure he's done - and it takes a second, kitty cat cums a lot - to suck the last of it off his tip and then swallow. Then open your mouth to show him you swallowed it all.
And even though he literally just came, his cock gives an interested twitch.
You quickly tuck him back in and stand up before he can get any ideas. Fix his jacket. Smooth his hair. Cup his cheeks and smooch his forehead.
He wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you close and for a few minutes you guys just,, hold each other. He mumbles a soft 'thank you' into your shoulder.
One of the stagehands slaps on the door and tells Sage to hurry up. Sage growls lowly and squeezes you tighter. He'll be there in a second!
He just needs you close for a little longer.

just for shits and giggles i want to make a list of dolls i want. from both realistic options to ones that are completely out there
g3 lagoona core refresh - everything about her is soooo adorable. her hair her pants her bag!!! im so serious i neeeddd her. she;'s such a glow up from the first release and i adore lagoona's g3 design
Tumblr media
g3 catty noir - she's a cat, she's pink, and she's g3's first plus size doll! i love her so much the more i look at her the more i want her even though i dont need this many dolls...
Tumblr media
i also admit the leak of fearbook toralei is very tempting. i dont want her as badly as the other two upcoming releases but as a toralei fan i am so excited to see her with show-accurate hair!
Tumblr media
g1 ghoulia yelps - honestly im very confused on the status of her creepro release but i definitely want to grab her if i can. i love ghoulia and i prefer her g1 design so i want herrrr
Tumblr media
g1 scarily ever after draculaura - ive been kind of 50/50 on the color scheme of this doll, but the princess who loves lala in me wants this doll... she's definitely an easier g1 doll to get secondhand
Tumblr media
g1 sweet screams draculaura - this is probably the most unrealistic, but i simply. LOVE HER. so much. SHES SOOOO CUTE. she's 100% my fav g1 draculaura doll. unfortunately everybody else has the same idea, so she'd be sooo incredibly expensive... really putting the "dream" in "dream doll".
Tumblr media
tts rapunzel & cass - i'm always SOOO mad i never got these dolls when they were available . i want to make cassunzel hold hands sooo bad.... i mostly want cass from this set but having them together would be a dream.
Tumblr media
i'm not really crazy about rainbow high, but if i ever got a doll from the series... it'd definitely be a pink one! i like these three:
junior high bella parker (i am looking at that bag so intently)
Tumblr media
and priscilla perez
Tumblr media
i really love the inset eyes on these dolls but something about the proportions of their face / heads turns me off from these dolls. but some of them are very cutes!
im runnign out of ideas so uhh.
princess liana - this doll is very familiar so i think i might of had her actually? i cant wait unti l ifind all my old dolls and fix them up. but the diamond castle is my favorite barbie movie & liana's dress is lesbian colors so of course i want her
Tumblr media
id also like princess anneliese.. her dress looks a lot nicer than liana's tbh, but i imagine she's a hard find since patp is such a popular movie.
Tumblr media
there are a lot of barbie & disney dolls that id probably loveee to have but i dont have the energy to go through archives of dolls right now. maybe ill add to this in the future lol

Thoughts on ch19 are here
There was hurt but at least comfort too. Idk if there was too much communication in this chapter. Idk if there can be too much 😭 I like it when Reader talks to Dimis about all that messed up stuff that is happening. Yeah it's hard and uncomfortable and it might feel like it's better to bear this burden alone but it'll hurt and drive them crazy even more if they'll remain quiet. And knowledge is important! The more Dimis know, the more they can help or/and accommodate and perhaps it will prevent some things or misunderstandings from happening.
I love it when they talk and I think it's done at a realistic pace with Reader slowly opening up more.
As for that strange thing taunting Reader, I have only one theory. And I think it's just the megamycete.
Tumblr media
The way it talks and tempts Reader makes me think of how it could've been with Miranda and how it was manipulating her. Perhaps it saw an opportunity to torment another soul, making false promises. It's the only thing I can think of 😭 perhaps it's too obvious idk, we'll see ig.
Onto the reactions to specific parts:
1.
Tumblr media
PLEASE THIS IS SO CUTE HOW THEY WENT TO COMFORT DANI BUT THEN STICK TO READER'S SIDE AND THEY FOLLOW THEM LIKE A SAD PUPPY 😭
2.
Tumblr media
Relaxing 💀
3.
Tumblr media
SHE'S SO CUTE PLS I LOVE FLUSTERED BELA
4. And yeey auntie Donna saved the day and Bela and Reader made up, I was scared there for a moment that Bela would stay mad for longer bc she was pretty mad. Glad she got that emotional support to calm down and think it through. But also I don't blame her for being angry like that, all of that is crazy.
hehehe the communication was very important!! sometimes i just feel like they open up too much after kinda... you know... lying for a lot of Act Two, but i'm glad it was received well <3 it was stuff that needed to be talked about and explained, and it'll make it better in the future :D
as for the first screenshot/thought... >:3 we shall see in Act Three if this theory is correct ehehehe
I LOVE THEM BAHAHA, my fav siblings <3 Lunny is the sad puppy and Reader is the even sadder cat that they follow around. their growing relationship is so fun to write about
LISTEN LMAO, they're just INTERESTED in what she's doing. i just know she was describing what she was doing to keep them in their body, probably asked them a few times to grab her something when she saw them drifting off. i love her
FLUSTERED BELA MY BELOVED she is so sweet and silly. she acts all confident until the person she likes does it back and then her brain just stops working
Auntie Donna to the rescue <3 it's nice that Bela was able to talk to her about what happened and get some outside interpretation on her reaction / what she was told, as well as getting some sense knocked into her about spilling what happened to someone when it wasn't her place to say anything (not really). the aunt/niece relationship is <333 warms my heart
thank you for sharing your thoughts :3 <333 it's always a pleasure to read what you have to say hehe

"I'm going to go to Desiderio for a while. Please tell anyone who asks that I've fallen extremely ill and can not take visitors."
"Y-Your Majesty?! Why would you wish to go there?"
"For answers."
It wasn't entirely wrong. King Damien was going to go to Desiderio for answers. While he lied and said it was because of the Taiga Wars, it was actually to see if he could enlist Queen Fluerette for a small.. deal.
His boots crunched against the snow, and he tugged his cloak's hood to keep it from falling. Desiderio, from what he read in files, wasn't meant to be accessible for a while until a much later story update. Only the taigas and mountains bordering it were available.
However, he wasn't an inhabitant of this world, so those rules didn't apply to him.
As he begins to walk through what's more than likely the capital of the kingdom, he notes that while everything seems busy, it's like they're acting busy. That, and some of the older cats are eyeing him with wariness.
Damien looks down at his outfit, confused, before a paw is on his shoulder. He looks back up and blinks.
Ah, that was why. He was dressed eerily similar to the guards.
"Hey, all new recruits are meant to report to Her Majesty." The way the knight spoke was gruff, her voice seemingly straining against some injury.
He merely nods and heads in the direction of the castle.
○●○
Queen Fluerette didn't even know who this Cat was, as he walked into the throne room, but she knows he's not a guard.
She lifts her head, eyes narrow. "Who are you." She demands, voice as cold as the ice on the windows. "Who are you to try and infiltrate my kingdom."
"Apologies, Your Majesty," the Cat speaks smoothly. He slowly takes off his hood, and Fluerette gasps minutely, seeing the face of King Damien looking up at her. Despite not attending his coronation, she knew full well what he looked like.
"I'm sorry for such an abrupt visit, but.. I wished to speak to such a mysterious queen one on one." Damien smiles charmingly at her, and she forces down a blush.
"What do you want?" She leans back in her throne, crossing one leg over the other.
"An alliance." He places a paw on his chest. "As you know, you were unjustly forced out of the very lands that your ancestors held claim to, and I am surrounded by far more powerful kingdoms on all fronts." His ears lower a bit. "Despite my best efforts, it doesn't seem that the other rulers trust me that much."
"Your father was an imbecile." Fluerette points out.
Damien nods. "I'm well aware. However, I feel the slightest bit worried that they may try and attack me should I slip up." He looks at her, almost pleading. "However, with this alliance, if you so decide to take what's rightfully yours, then I'll be there to support you."
Fluerette glances up towards the ceiling. She hums softly before waving him off. "I'll send you a letter with my answer soon. Now, shoo."
Damien smiles and pulls his hood back up. "Thank you for this audience, Queen Fluerette."
As the aforementioned queen watches him walk off, she lets out a sigh and rests her cheek on the palm of her paw. Ending the Taiga Wars wasn't something she wanted to do but had to. Her mother had ruined the kingdom.
And his offer.. it was quite tempting. As if.. he knew all about her.
But that was impossible, wasn't it?
○●○
"Sneaky little bird."
Auyrn squawks in fear, desperately trying to get away from Damien.
The two stood in the forests between Stagnus and Cilcia. He'd spotted the golden bird of Queen Melody watching him and snatched the Muse-forsaken thing from the sky with some code.
"Melody sent you after me, didn't she? Of course she was getting suspicious.." He sneers, wrapping a paw around Auyrn's beak. "Damn it all. Guess I'll just need to reinforce some memories and tweak some things." He rolls his eyes as if this was a nuisance. "And here I was trying not to mess things up too much."
Chains of code wrap around the bird. "Ah well. Some small tweaks regarding you shouldn't be too hard, either."
Auyrn can only shiver from fear as Damien glares down at him, his eyes glowing a haunting yellow.

Shipper Tag Game
Tagged by the lovely @seiya-starsniper! Thanks for the tag game, this was a fun one!
What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?
Oh gosh, okay, I was very much the SuperWhoLock teen, but with more emphasis on the Lock part of the trio, so JohnLock was the brainrot for me at the time. I still do appreciate the ship, but with less of the BBC Sherlock influence that it used to have xD
Which ship would you consider your first one?
I think, technically, it was that Bakura ship with the Millenium Puzzle version and the normal version from Yu-Gi-Oh! Or it was Bakura x Marik. One of those ships.
Your first fanfic was about which couple?
I'm almost certain is was Red x Blue from the Pokemon Manga series. Oh gosh, I haven't thought of that fic in ages. I wonder if it still exists on FF.net out there somewhere. Now I'm tempted to check! I must have been, what? Middle school? Early middle school, probably?
Do you remember the first couple you saw fan art of?
It was almost certainly either from Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, but that's all I know.
Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?
Not really, honestly. I mostly kept to myself on the internet, even at a young age xD I've never been one for confrontation as is though, so that really hasn't changed.
Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?
Mmmm.... Probably at one point? There were definitely ships I didn't prefer, but I don't think there was much in the way of a hard NOTP, at least nothing coming to mind.
Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read?
I think it was technically a Hobrintheus fic, actually. Not solely Dreamling, surprisingly.
Currently, do you have any OTPs?
I've definitely a multi-shipper, so I wouldn't label it a hard OTP, but Dreamling is as close to it in this fandom as I'm getting. I just love those two a lot.
Is there any couple that, to this day, that you are extremely mad about not getting into?
I don't think so? Not mad about, anyways. More just some fandoms in general that looked like fun but never got much into the source material, which, in turn, had interesting looking ships.
Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they're kind of interesting?
Alright, for this fandom specifically? I hadn't really liked Jo and Morph together, but now I've written fics with them paired together, so you can tell that's changed xD
Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
Shoving the quick dip into a certain Red x Green "character" ship into the basement. Nope, definitely not!
What is your favourite crack ship?
Lightning McQueen x Doc from Cars. There's that one "crack" fic about them but in a Human!Au and I started reading it as a joke... it was too good to be a joke, y'all. I still think of that fic sometimes.
What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?
Oh Dreamling, definitely. My nightly bedtime routine is just going to their ship tag and seeing what's been recently posted. But I do very much enjoy other ships in the fandom. Dreamling just usually has the highest quantity of fics.
What do most of your ships have in common?
Black Cat x Golden Retriever or some iteration that's similar to it.
What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
I'm agreeing with Seiya on this. Miscommunication or crossing boundaries being viewed romantically and treated as such.
No Pressure Tags: @samsalami66 @pellaaearien @mallory-x and @ml-nolan if y'all wanna play too!

For the Sabezra week, the last day (Free/Au day), I present you guys my Sabezra au with their children: Lotie Wren-Bridger, Archer Wren Bridger and my OC animals from my future Au!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Archer design isn't finished yet, but I'll provide some info about him as well!!
She looks exactly alike her mother in so many things! But she got her father's eyes, and that was the thing Sabine loved the most. She was named after Lothal, because the planet became Sabine's home as well, and because Sabine is an artist, and her thoughts about Ezra's eyes are " his blue, intense and starryed eye color goes as deep as the night sky under the two moons of Lothal". She loves his eye color, and her daughter inherited them, so she suggested that name —And Ezra of course melted down. Ezra discovered her pregnancy first because he could sense her presence mixed with Sabine, but since he wasn't sure yet and only had some doubts, he kept it a secret. Sabine didn't really have morning sickness, one of the most visible symptoms, but she was more tired, sensitive, aching, sleepy and she was extremely sensitive to smells, good ones and bad ones. She would love Ezra's smell since it was so much more intense in her nose, but whenever she got sweaty or he did after training, she would feel sick just for smelling it. When she found out, she was quite mad that he hadn't told her that he was suspicious about her behavior, she was also concerned about their future with a new rising threat, but they loved the news (I'm finishing the fic where they found out, I'll be posting as soon as it's ready!!). When she was born, Ezra couldn't help staying almost all the time close to both of them, despite having duties, it was the most joyful feeling in the galaxy feeling Sabine and Lotie's intense happiness. She is Force-sensitive, and she is a great empath just like her father. Her connection with animals and all kinds of living beings are considered even stronger than Ezra's. Sabine would always find random animals close to her daughter's crib, and she would be very happy and entertained with them. Since she was a little small baby, Lotie had terrible nightmares, all nights. She would wake up very easily and cry a lot. Ezra started developing ways to calm her down using the Force, and almost everytime, this would work perfectly. But as she grew up, they became more and more intense. When she became able to speak about them, she would tell her dad what they were like, and this made Ezra realize she had also inherited his vision abilities. Lotie would have nice dreams as well, but mostly dreams filled with fear. She would dream about events from the past constantly, and a few times, things from the future. One day, the small girl was able to see Kanan in her dreams, seeing the moment he had passed, and this made her parents deeply concerned. Ezra started training his daughter himself, to help her dominate her powers that were growing as fast as his own abilities did. He feared that she could be tempted and fell to the dark side, but Sabine was his shelter to reaffirm that she was his daughter and if her father could face the darkness and still be the light, she trusted Lotie could do the same.
Lotie had two animals with her! A white and orange Loth-Cat she attracted to her crib when she still was very little, called Kathe, and a mandalorian considered extinct bird which she gave the name of Alula, called by the most common name of Harptor, and called Royal War Bird by the Mandalorians. Her parents found Alula and 4 other chicks while they were still babies, on a Tatooine's ilegal market sale, while Lotie was 8. They unfortunately also had found their mother, a giant Harptor, dead and exposed like a price, a common cruel thing done to simply show power and exhibit the corpse like a trophy. I'll explain more about Alula later! Not sure if I'll explain here because it can be too much for a single post!
Kathe would only sleep in her room, and he would leave her side for anything. He would get more territorial every time he sensed she was having nightmares, and would sometimes hiss out of fear to Sabine when she approached her crying daughter. Sabine sure found having random animals around her house and finding one new loth cat everytime they would fly on their ship (Phoenix) very crazy, but she would have some good fun watching her daughter grow so connected to everything around her. Lotie could even sense if her parents were down and would try to sooth them with hugs. She is very kind extremely curious about everything (she would made so many questions about everything to her parents, Hera, Chopper, Jacen and anyone she could find), she was a ingenue and innocent kid just like Ezra one day was. Very playful, like both of her parents, and sometimes a little more bold and reckless than she should be, a little reluctant to follow unwanted orders, but still as caring and empathic as always. As much sweet as she was, no one wanted to see Lotie angry, because when she was mad she would totally take after Sabine's sassyness and of course, free eye rolling for anyone. This would be very very rare to occur, but when it did... people knew that she wasn't the one to mess up with XD
Lotie has a young brother (I'm still drawing his designs) who were like a copy of his dad, but had Sabine's eyes. Archer Wren Bridger, he was completely energetic, athletic and very silly and funny like his father. Sabine would sometimes be scared of how much a copy of young Ezra he was. If his sister would barely do something reckless, Archer would live in trouble, everyday. He is very curious like his sister, funny, silly, a little annoying, athletic and also Force-User, so raising him and Lotie were really a challenge to Sabine and Ezra. Archie was a quick learner, and he learned some jedi skills very young and all by himself, like Force Jumping. He would be very mocky and teasing at his sister, and he would be the most principal reason why she would be extremely mad lol but they loved each other so much🥺
Both of them had a intimate connection with art like their mother, Lotie had her own mandalorian armor and she did personalized as she liked, but Archer was the more close to Sabine's costume of always changing his armor. He really enjoyed painting, and he would be the one to vandalize the First Order ties. He didn't got his mom's painting explosives, but he surely loved explosives, since he was a little kid. He would steal from his moms drawer and play with them with Lotie, secretly. She would throw them with her training sword and they would both be in trouble everytime Ezra and Sabine suspected why they were so quiet.
Lotie has great ability with her lightsaber, it's one of her best abilities, besides force-manipulating and creature connections. She could handle guns great, mandalorian ones were the best she could operatewell, but usually they are not her thing. Her acrobatics and fighting style were mostly focused on defensive. Most of her battles could be won without her attacks, due to her strong connection to the creatures around and specially because her connection with her bird, Alula. Alula was always around Lotie, and her reputation striked fear in any opponent, since she was considered one of the biggest and deadly birds they knew in the galaxy animal kingdom. Lotie was always mercy towards her enemies, which wasn't so loyal to the mandalorian way, but more like her mother's. Although she would spare their lives after a redemption, if she had to fight to execute, she would do it perfectly well and gracefully with her saber domain. Ahsoka taught her along with her father, so she could use two lightsaber if necessary.
Archer had gained his mom's tactical abilities. He was very good manipulating guns, extremely agile and master in hand to hand combats, passionate about explosives as well, and he really likes to use the mind tricks his powers conceded to him. Although Archer can port well a saber, he wouldn't trust his life while only using one, so he always had guns and explosives near. He was centered in battlefields and his acrobatics and fighting movements were more to attack than to defend. He and his sister would usually form a duo in battle with her being the shield and leader and Archer being the attacker. Although he didn't get his sister connection abilities, he got attached to an annoying small convor that he decided to keep, and a Loth-Wolf as well!
Since the post is already very long, I'll post about Alula properly in other post, specially because she is more part of my AU that doesn't really involve Ez and Bine directly. I hope you can enjoy 💙

Ed, Olu
(character ask game)
ooh okay I'll start with Oluwande and put Ed under the cut because I can't help being a bitch about him sorry
how I feel about the character: I used to not really like him that much because I thought he was too nice, but I've since gotten into the awkward energy of lines like "I'm gonna try to undo some of the damage from that interaction" and now I think he's pretty cool. OTP: Tealoranges, of course. (Is that the generally accepted ship name for Jim/Oluwande? it's the one I've been using). OT3: I'm intrigued by Jim/Oluwande/Spanish Jackie. NOTP: Honestly shipping him with anyone other than Jim would just feel wrong to me, but I guess the worst would be Oluwande/Stede. favorite bromance: Frenchie. Their whole thing in episode 5 was so good. favorite family dynamic: When the whole crew unanimously votes him as captain. He was only captain for like half a second but I love the way they all trusted him to lead them and we'd better get more of that in season 2. favorite canon thing about them: I'm not quite sure how to put this, but he just has good vibes. Whenever he's on screen it just feels nice to see him there. So I guess my favorite canon thing about him is just that he's there lol. favorite headcanon: He was trying to get with Jim for months before they killed Jackie's husband and the two of them had to run away, they just didn't pick up on it at all until they were in a life-threatening situation. Like there's no way he would be good at flirting and you know Jim would be into mortal peril.
how I feel about the character: I hate him. I've actually done a lot of introspection as to why and I think the main reason is that I envy him--why does he get to be such a whiny, emotional, annoying, sad, pathetic, crybaby little bitch and still be loved when I never did? I know that's wrong and I'm trying to get over it though. (that being said I do also just find his general mannerisms annoying too. that bit in episode 4 where he's trying to show Izzy the model ship when Izzy obviously doesn't care is so grating on me) OTP: That post I reblogged a while ago going "I love blackbonnet because I wouldn't want to inflict them on anyone else" was so true. OT3: The only option I can even think of is steddyhands, and while I used to be kind of into them I'm not anymore, so I'll just make one up and say Spanish Jackie/Ed/Jim because he needs two terrifying people to keep him steady. NOTP: I'm tempted to say blackhands just because Izzy is my favorite character and I don't want him with my least favorite, but I do sometimes get into the tragedy of them so I think I'll go with Ed/Frenchie, just because I've actually seen that one and it does not do it for me. favorite bromance: uhh I guess the friendship that once existed between him and Izzy in my mind? favorite family dynamic: I love how his mom tried preparing him for the harsh realities of life and ended up unwittingly reinforcing harmful beliefs that would haunt him well into middle age. That was so real. favorite canon thing about them: He is very sexy with the beard and the leather, I'll give him that. favorite headcanon: He, like Frenchie, is deathly afraid of cats. I just think that would be funny.
