Throwing out the peels Lilly finds something bizarre- more like someone??

ok among my favorite parts of qsmp is the fact that charlie slimecicle can only hold the act of being mad at mariana when mariana isn't in the room. like he successfully rp'd being mad at his deadbeat puta esposa for months while mariana wasn't logging on, like he complained about mariana at the wedding, during the election, in subsequent appearances, and then he's messaging mariana in the chat during purgatory and he's still holding it
and then they're both at spawn like as close to face to face as they get. and bro CANNOT hold the act it drops so fast lmfao he was like "yea cellbit i'm gonna kill mariana" and instead they have a genuinely heartfelt conversation and then rp sexo in the fountain
and i know i'm brainrotting purgatory rn but i'm actually thinking about this bc i saw a clip of mariana and slime talking during the awards show and literally. slime's face goes from 😡🤬 MARIANA'S HERE, SAY SOMETHING PUTA ESPOSA to 😄😁 the second mariana shows up on the screen
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like he's still pretending to be mad but dude is grinning like absolute crazy and i love that

Info of Welcome Home Silly Cat~
Might as well put some info I have in my latest AU of Welcome Home. I do have ideas for it. I start showing who's in it and what role they have... Don't know if I'll say puppets, humans or just leave it at that. But I'm leaning to the world of puppet (or Muppets) beings... Animals are also puppets, but they wouldn't talk, just being like regular animals. So, I guess like... Mickey Mouse owning a dog named Pluto? I don't know, still in works. Now, human-like puppets would are like the Muppets, having animal features and all. There are mostly human puppets, plus from space, but there human puppets with animal features, depending... 🤔
The Silly 'Cats' (Drawings of them as cats in works~)
Wally 'Apple' Darling - A silly and unique yellow cat with blue hair was lost in the rain until one day, he was found by a rabbit-like puppet named Eric Hopper and was taken in. Eric named him Apple due to the cat likes to stare at apples. Being treated with kindness, care and love, Apple grew to like Eric. However, in reality, his true name is Wally Darling and he isn't some average cat when he has become a handsome puppet with the exact hairstyle. He was young painter until he was use as a lab experiment. Wally had escaped at some point and lived with Eric, but fear one day he'll be taken again and Eric might get drag into his mess... (Here are the drawings of Wally as a Cat and puppet form with cat ears)
Frank 'Lucky' Frankly - A well mannered dark gray cat has been staying with a mailman named Eddie Dear. They/He go by Lucky and this grumpy like cat enjoys catching bugs and bring one to Eddie, much to Eddie's dismay. Unknown to Eddie, Lucky is actually a puppet named Frank Frankly in the same situation as Wally. Frank has found a home sooner than other victims of experiment who had escaped. Frank remains as a cat when Eddie is at home, but when at work, Frank becomes himself to watch and clean the house.. while hoping to stay hidden in case the scientists are looking for him... (drawing of Cat!Frank with others)
Julie 'Glitter' Joyful - A colorful and hyper cat who enjoys playing with many cat toys. She goes by Glitter after her 'owner' found her. She really enjoys watching her owner doing plays and loves going outside. However, she too a different for she was puppet before becoming a cat as well. Her named is Julie Joyful and she truly misses her family, wondering if they're okay after her disappearance. She actually knows Frank and Wally, even before becoming cats. She has hope Frank and Wally had escaped while living a good life she is. Julie never thought much about the danger, but she is being careful so her owner, Sally Starlet, won't get hurt... (drawing of Cat!Julie with others; same as Cat!Frank)
Whiskers 'Stripes' Furball - He's actually a regular cat... or so it seems. He goes by Stripes long ago and has an unique gene with him. Because of that, he has been going through harsh and cruel treatment as a lab experiment until he'd escaped. He then discovered he can become a puppet, being able to speak, walk two legs and intelligence. But learning what he use for, he'd escape... He now lives as puppet with a new name while trying to find a cure for the victims who fell into the mix. He rarely goes out, but his neighbors are willing to check on him now and then... (Unknown designs)
The Owners
Eric Hopper - A kind, shy and helpful rabbit-like puppet. He enjoys cloud watching and walking in the rain. That's how Eric found a silly yellow cat. Eric took the cat in, drying it up and decided to keep the cat as a pet, naming the cat Apple. Eric grew to like Apple very much, always enjoys Apple's company. Eric gave and put a red scarf around Apple's neck. One day, Eric finds a handsome puppet in his house... wearing the same red scarf. Eric is confused while slowly learning about Apple's name is Wally Darling and his past. Eric decides to help Wally, not knowing they're falling for each other. (Eric with Cat!Wally Should I digital this? Probably)
Eddie Dear - A clumsy, sweet mailman puppet has taking in a dark gray cat named Lucky. He enjoys seeing Lucky greeting when he comes home. The only thing he wish is that his cat would STOP bring bugs into the house to show what Lucky caught. Eddie doesn't know it, but Lucky is actually named Frank Frankly, a victim like Wally Darling. Frank has been keeping up the facade as long as he could, although... Eddie has been wondering who's been cleaning the house. Will Eddie find out? We'll see~
Sally Starlet - She's a director/actor, but it can be stressful for her. Thankfully, her sweet cat named Glitter always lighten up her days. Sally would always play and spoil her cat when she can to relax. However, Glitter isn't a normal cat as well. Her true name is Julie Joyful and doesn't mind the life a pet cat, but she truly misses her siblings, hoping to see them again. But what could she do with chances of people looking for her to take her back to the lab she'd escape from. Maybe she should ask Sally to help her, but she rather not frighten Sally.
Others
Barnaby B. Beagle - In this au verse, he's a sweet funny dog who was adopted by a kind chicken puppet. A funny, silly blue dog who is adopted by Ms. Beagle, who is like a mom to him. He likes to make friends with everyone, even if they're cats. When Ms. Beagle visitor Eric, it was when Barnaby met Apple aka Wally Darling. Funny meeting, but the two becomes friends and Wally trust Barnaby about his secret. Barnaby hopes to help Wally while enjoying hanging out with Wally which lead both Eric and Ms. Beagle to set up a play-date.
Poppy Partridge - In this au verse, Poppy is the owner of a pet hotel, good at making some food and has motherly vibes. Poppy has hear rumors about a lab doing illegal, but she doesn't fully know if it's true or not. Right now, she's focus on taking care of pets when the owners away on trips or busy with work. She happens enjoys Eric coming over to help out while she has a strange feeling about Apple.
Howdy Pillar - In this au verse, Howdy is still a shop owner, but I guess mostly like a pet store owner. He's neighbor to Poppy, Ms. Beagle and a new neighbor with no background. Howdy would deliver some pet food to Poppy when she needs some.
Home aka Dr. Chimney - Unlike in Welcome Home, Home is more puppet like and goes by Dr. Chimney, a scientist who doing experiment. At first it was harmless on trying to find some cure for most diseases, but then discover something about Stripes which he slowly loses his mind and too focus on doing illegal experiments by 'asking' puppets to volunteering in his work. However, at some point, his experiments had escape. He's trying to find them, but he has no clue where they are...
Ms. Beagle - She is a sweet chicken puppet who has a blue dog to keep her company while loving her dog like he's her child. She works as an author and is a neighbor to Eric Hopper. After seeing Apple and seeing how her dog gets along with Apple, she and Eric decide a play-date. She, of course, doesn't know about Apple's true identity.
The Joyful Siblings - Not much info, but they had been searching for their missing sister. They lived in another location and have no clues where she is. All three hopes to find her soon, but... it's been over 20s though...
And I think that's all I'll add. I am still working on it. Hopefully Frank and Julie as cats looks good.
In Y/N version... Unknown, but Y/N would be someone who found Wally as a cat in Eric's place or Eric and Y/N are roomies. How it would go is... kinda similar yet different outcome. Who knows.

The Neighbor Across the Street pt. 5
Mike Schmidt x Babysitter!f!Reader
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 6
wc: 3.6k
warnings: angst, little bit sad (if y’all can stick thru this ONE part 🫶), fluff sprinkled in some parts (as always, lmk if there’s anything i’ve missed)
summary: the neighbor across the street needs a babysitter, so you take the job, not knowing what’s in store for you as you grow closer to the siblings. AU where nothing bad ever happens at the pizzeria.
A/N: this is gonna be the “hard” chapter, but it’ll all be worth it for part 6, the official finale of the series 🥹 no worries tho, i still plan on expanding the story once it’s over!!!
——————————————————————————
You could barely focus in any of your classes today. Your mind was full of thoughts about one person and one person only: Mike. All of the things that happened in such a short amount of time were eating you alive. You couldn’t take any of it anymore. In a way, you wished Abby hadn’t told you about her secret. You didn’t want something as silly as a “crush” to get in the way of your goal of keeping Abby and Mike happy.
As you drove home from your classes, you didn’t know what to expect that evening. You knew he probably wanted to clear up whatever had happened the other evening. Maybe he just wanted to tell you he was sorry for not paying you again. But then why did he want you there an hour early? What on earth could he want to talk about for a whole hour with you?
You only ever had two serious conversations with him in the two months or so of knowing him, the one the first night shift of babysitting Abby and during your walk with him just a few days ago.
There was that voice, all the way at the back of your head, that was telling you something completely different. There was a voice that was saying this had to do with Abby’s secret. You attempted to quickly get it out of your head, your hands getting sweaty at the thought as you continued driving home. You hated to admit this was making you more nervous than it should’ve been.
The thought of him waiting at his door until you got home crept into your head once more. The way he saw how you looked back one last time like you’d done every time before. How often did he wait at the door like that? Did he genuinely care about you that much to wait?
When you got home you had an hour until you knew you’d have to be at Mike’s house. Of course today was one of those days where your professors just knew you were having an off day and assigned what felt like 10x more work than usual. You hesitantly took out all of your textbooks and notebooks in an attempt to knock out a few assignments before you left.
As you sat down, something hanging on the headboard of your bed caught your attention. The black hoodie Mike had lent you was there. You truly intended on giving it back to him yesterday since you’d accidentally wore it home the other night. Whether you forgot it by chance or on purpose you couldn’t even remember anymore.
It sat there like a painful reminder of not knowing what was to come later. He said it wasn’t anything bad, but maybe he just didn’t want to stress you out. What if he had to quit the night job, therefore leaving you jobless? You didn’t want to leave them hanging. You didn’t care if you were getting paid consistently or not. You just wanted to be there for them. That was all that mattered to you now.
You continued to sit there, looking at the hoodie, thoughts racing through your mind with no signs of stopping. The textbooks and notebooks all over your desk were never opened, you didn’t have the energy now at least. Not when your leg wouldn’t stop bouncing and stomach was twisted into knots. You kept telling yourself “It’s just your imagination, everything is fine. Everything will be okay.” It was already almost time for you to go, so you threw all the books back into your bag, grabbed the hoodie, and made your way over.
The feelings were mutual back at Mike’s house. Mike wasn’t sure why he felt so anxious about having to talk to you. It really wasn’t a big deal at all. He just wanted to clear up last night and, well, some other things too. He was just as scared of the unknown as you were. The kitchen smelled like pasta cooking as he tried his best to distract himself by making Abby’s dinner. Just incase the conversation went really bad and you didn’t want to stay. Not that he was anticipating that it would go badly.
He stirred the spaghetti as the water bubbled, focusing as best he could on everything but his thoughts.
“Mike why are you making dinner tonight?” Abby interrupted standing by the fridge.
“Thought I’d give Y/n a break for one night.” he said, still looking down at the pot of boiling water.
“She makes it so much better than you do though.” Abby started whining.
“Beggars can’t be choosers Abs.” he said with a sigh.
“What does that mean?” Abby said with a confused tone to her voice.
“Life’s not fair, that’s what it means. You either eat my pasta or nothing.”
He could practically hear the girl roll her eyes in response.
“Well, I’m not hungry right now.”
Now she’s just being a smart ass, Mike thought to himself.
“Good thing Y/n can warm it up for you later when I’m gone.”
“I don’t want to eat it later though. It’s gonna be gross later.” she crossed her arms now, she knew what she was doing.
“Well you’re either gonna eat it now, later, or never. This is what you’re getting for dinner.” Mike was getting more impatient with her sudden attitude.
“Your pasta is gross Mike I’m not eating it.”
“Whatever. I don’t care anymore, don’t eat it.” Way to ruin this evening Abby.
“Why do you have to be so-“
“Abby, just stop! I’m not having this today. Go to your room.” he didn’t realize how much he rose his voice at her. Arguing wasn’t uncommon for them, but he rarely, if ever, rose his voice this much at her. He looked back at her, the young girls eyes were welling with small tears. This evening already wasn’t going as planned and Y/n hadn’t even arrived yet.
“I hate you Mike!” Abby shouted before running to her room, slamming the door shut.
Mike took a deep breath, putting a hand over his face. Why did he always have to mess everything up? He should’ve never asked Y/n to come over early. If he hadn’t asked, then this situation would’ve never happened. He should’ve just let the situation go. He looked back at the pot of spaghetti, the water still bubbling, finally deciding to shut off the stove.
He looked at the landline phone hanging on the wall beside the fridge. It was almost calling his name to pick it up, dial your number, and tell you not to come by anymore. He stepped forward reaching out a hand to pick up the phone. Just before he could start dialing the numbers he heard a door slowly and quietly open.
He looked at the clock on the stove, quickly realizing what time it was. There was no escaping the situation now, for either of you. He walked out of the kitchen, now in the dining room as he watched you shut the door and set down your backpack.
“Hey.” you said in almost a whisper, your usual smile on your face to hide the nervousness that still lurked deep down.
Just like that, time felt slower than ever before for Mike. Honestly, every time he saw you it began feeling more and more like that. It wasn’t like you tried to dress to impress or anything like that. The only times you had a remotely “nice” outfit on were the first few days of babysitting and extremely occasionally after that. Even then, it was nothing more than a pair of jeans and a somewhat nicer t-shirt or sweater.
Your hair was in a low messy ponytail, loose strands of hair falling out of the scrunchie. You wore a t-shirt with your college’s name plastered across the front and extremely baggy black sweatpants. This was a look that was all too familiar to Mike. The days you wore outfits like this were days that school was beating your ass. Those were the days he’d come home and find you still finishing up work at the dinning room table far too late in the night.
The way that an outfit so simple and, for lack of better terms, lazy, could make Mike feel this way felt like a crime to him. He was convinced that any other outfit imaginable would not compare to this. There was no way to explain this, but this just felt different to him.
Maybe it was because of your determination and drive for success. It was something he didn’t see in himself. Maybe he envied that you had that in you and he didn’t. He saw how hard school was. He saw that no matter how hard it got, you were still there on time every time. He wished so much he had that level dedication in him.
That’s when his eyes turned to your hand. It was holding the black hoodie he let you borrow when you stayed for s’mores. He had honestly forgotten he even gave you it, but now he was wondering why you’d brought it back. He really didn’t mind if you’d kept it. Now thinking about it, he wanted you to keep it.
“You didn’t have to make dinner Mike, you know I’ve got it.” your voice, still quiet making sure Abby wouldn’t hear your presence, broke the thoughts in Mikes head and brought him back to reality.
“Yeah, um, about that…” he began, sighing heavily.
“We need to talk.” you immediately noticed the tension that was now forming.
“Yeah.” he pulled a chair out of the dining table for you, and you both quietly sat down.
You both sat in silence for a minute or so. You waited for him to start talking and you were going to give him as long as he needed to gather his thoughts. You focused on the salt and pepper shakers in the middle of the table.
“I’m sorry.” he finally spoke up.
“Why are you sor-“
“Let me explain before you try telling me I have nothing to be sorry about.” he interrupted, his volume significantly louder than before.
You didn’t say anything back, you were ready to let him say whatever he needed to say because clearly he needed it.
“It’s just-“ he paused again, putting his face into his hands. He took a deep breath attempting to gather his thoughts and emotions before he spoke again. He wasn’t going to let them ruin this conversation.
“I don’t deserve you, Y/n.” you finally looked up. Those incredible brown eyes met yours. They almost appeared to have tears forming in them.
“You do so much for us Y/n. You’re here on time every day, no matter how much you had going on during the day. You’re always willing to do literally anything with Abby. All of the dumb things I’ve said no to her about, you’ve said yes. You’re the mother figure she never had. She doesn’t act the same way around me as she does with you. She deserves this so much more than I do. She needs you, Y/n. I don’t deserve any of this. I can rarely pay you on time. I’m putting you in this horrendous situation where you go to class every day, then you come home for 2 hours max and babysit for the entire night. You’re working literally 2 jobs and you didn’t even want this. I accidentally threw you into it, you should’ve just not taken it. It’s not fair. And yesterday when I stormed out without explaining anything, that wasn’t fair either.”
“Mike-“
“You deserve more Y/n. You deserve the world. You have so much motivation and determination in you it’s actually insane. You’re always smiling, always trying to be kind and helpful. You put others before yourself. I just feel that someone like me, the complete opposite of you, doesn’t deserve to have you in my life. I have not even an ounce of dedication or care inside of me. You don’t deserve to have to put up with all my crap. You just don’t Y/n.” he stopped, still looking you in the eyes.
You really wanted to break down and sob. How could he think he’s worth nothing? How does he not see all the effort and care he puts into taking care of Abby? He’s trying a whole lot harder than other people who have half the worries in life that he has.
“How long have you felt this way?” you said quietly, you knew if you spoke any louder than a whisper you’d start crying.
“Since the moment you first came by to try out the job.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” small, but noticeable tears were now falling down your face. “You’ve felt this way for almost 2 months and you didn’t say a word?”
“Y/n, please don’t-“
“What do you mean ‘please don’t?’ How am I supposed to brush past this knowing you’ve felt like this for 2 months now?” You wiped the tears off of your face.
Mike was now looking down at the table, avoiding your face at all costs. He knew if he saw you that way, it would be over for him. It was never his intention to make you feel this way, he knew you would care, but he didn’t think you’d care this much.
“Mike, look at me right now.”
His eyes hesitantly met yours. Your heart was beating so fast you could hear it in your head.
“You are the most thoughtful, caring, most determined person I’ve ever met. You sacrifice so so much for Abby and you don’t even realize it. When I talk to Abby, I hear all about a big brother who pours his heart out just for her to be happy. She is so incredibly lucky to have someone who dedicates so much of his time and energy just to make her happy. You didn’t ask for this and I know you’ve been through hell and back, but you do everything for that girl. No matter how much you think she doesn’t see it, you are genuinely her whole world. I have never, ever, met someone so caring in my life. You don’t have to do any of it, yet you are so selfless that you do it.”
“Then why does she hate me? Why does she always say so much about how great you are and how much she loves your cooking more than mine? Why are we always arguing over the stupidest things?”
“That’s what siblings are for Mike.” you said with an airy laugh through your tears. “After I came over to hearing your argument I went to talk to Abby. She said how she thought you hated her, how you’re always working and never do stuff with her anymore. I told her to look at all of the amazing things you do for her, all of the toys and art supplies she is lucky enough to have. I asked her who gets her all of these things. Who works their ass off for her to have the greatest childhood ever? You do, Mike. She just doesn’t know how to put that into words or actions. We’re gonna work on that though, okay?” you reached across the table to grab his hands and held them in yours.
“You need to give yourself a whole lot more credit. All I want is for you guys to be okay.” you smiled, tears still running down your face. “I just want to help you guys in any way I can. I don’t care how much I get paid or how often I get paid, that doesn’t matter to me anymore Mike. I just want to be there for the two of you.”
After all he said, after his vulnerability showed the underlying jealousy he had for you and your kindness you did it once again. You put others before yourself. He didn’t realize you were not going to give up.
“This is exactly why I don’t deserve you.”
“Quit saying that, you deserve me just as much as Abby does.” you squeezed his hands, reassuringly smiling at him. “You’re not getting rid of me.”
All he really wanted to do in this moment was to get up and kiss you. You believed in Abby, and in him, when you didn’t have to. No one was forcing you to do any of this and to know you were taking it upon yourself from the kindness in your heart made Mike feel even crazier for you. You were one of the first people to show genuine care and love to him and Abby since their parents passed away.
“I love you Y/n.”
Those 4 words came out with no thought, no hesitation, no control. It just felt right.
You were both shocked, yet relieved to hear those words. Your next 4 words didn’t have much thought to them either
“I love you too Mike.” you said, not hesitating either. It didn’t feel forced in the slightest, it felt right for both of you. You honestly couldn’t believe what had just happened and neither could Mike. Neither of you would admit it, but you weren’t even sure what to do next.
“Well it took you guys long enough.” a small voice peeped from behind you.
You turned around to see Abby, standing with her arms crossed, a smug look on her face.
“Abby, how long have you been here?” Mike said, quickly letting go of your hand he still had in his.
“Long enough to hear you and Y/n say you love each other.” she said, smiling wide and giggling. “I am so happy you finally told Y/n you have a crush on her! Or did Y/n tell you she has a crush on you?” her eyes lit up with excitement.
“Well, I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s what happened but-“
“Oh, he definitely was the one who told me first.” you smirked after interrupting.
“But who decided to hold hands first?” he quickly responded, returning you a small smirk.
Your face began burning up as you buried your face in your hands for a moment, but you also couldn’t help but laugh. Leave it up to Abby to be little miss matchmaker. Of course she’d sneak her way in to finally see her hard work come together. Once Mike realized there was no point in hiding anything anymore, he grabbed your left hand again and held it in his. It felt almost freeing, like a weight was lifted off of him in multiple ways, to be able to hold your hand.
“Also, I’m hungry.” she chimed in quickly, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
You and Mike both looked at each other, knowing that the pasta he attempted to cook was probably off the table now. It was also almost time for Mike to go to work now, which he really didn’t want to do anymore, but there was no other choice.
“I’ll just order you guys a pizza.” he said with a smile, a genuine smile. “Y/n doesn’t need to be cooking for you after this, and I know you won’t eat whatever I can make in 10 minutes Abs.”
Abby began jumping around with pure excitement. Probably a little too excited after just offending Mike’s cooking, but that didn’t matter anymore. As long as she was happy and you were happy, Mike was gonna be happy. He was going to start changing his attitude about everything and he wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else than you. It wasn’t going to be easy, but was gonna try his very best.
“You sure Mike? I don’t mind cooking.” you replied.
“Really Y/n?” he said, sarcastically rolling his eyes.
“Okayyy fineee.” you said holding out the endings extra long, just for dramatic effect.
“Thank you Mike!” the Abby shouted, running up to his chair to give him a hug. Mike smiled at you as the young girl clung onto him.
“Thank you.” he mouthed to you.
You gave him a soft smile in response. You looked down at the black hoodie still in your lap. You brought it in the case he wanted it back, but after the conversation you two just had, there’s a good chance he’d want you to have it. Whether that was his original intention for you to keep it or not, you decided you would keep it. A constant reminder of who you were doing this for. Taking this job, you didn’t know what you were getting yourself in to. You also didn’t know why you were so nervous for this conversation. It couldn’t have gone any better. You were ready to go through whatever hardships and challenges you had to for your two favorite neighbors.

Hello! Merry Chirtmas ! İ just love your blog and can't stop thinking about it ! So, how would tadc react to a female kid reader ? That little girl is cheerful elegant little lady and wear nice Pink dress with bows! She comforted Gangle by saying "don't be sad ! İ love you !" And put some sticker on her mask ! Oh and saying i love you to them before leaving. When Jax is doing something bad she says "Don't be mean! you silly rabbit!"
Caine, Gangle, Zooble, Pomni w/ sweet!kid!reader (platonic)
doing these characters since the wheel chose it (ominously) not sure how much i'll write today but i got a little more in the inbox compared to these past few days so i plan on working that down
Tumblr media
CAINE:
basically treats you like his own kid but hes never been a dad before so hes still learning; torn between him being over protective of you or thinking you're indestructible (which... technically you are as long as youre in the digital world). i think he finds your sweetness adorable, though if theres someone in the circus being mean to you (surprisingly i dont think jax would be too mean. a little bit of a butt? yeah but its not much different than an older brother picking on their younger sibling) i think he would pipe up and not shut up until you get an apology. starts watching IHAs more now that you're here, both to see how youre doing but also to make sure its not too crazy for you.. cant help but let the big scary monster/trial pass when you run up to it being nice. literally just snaps the thing out of existence/away/wherever. loves seeing the look of triumph on your face afterwards
POMNI:
nice towards you and probably over time keeps a closer eye on you but in the beginning i think its more like. you following her like a duckling since shes busy trying to find an exit. honestly i think pomni would have a hard time when it sinks in that theres a little kid here in the circus. how did you get here? when did you get here? i think thats what would prompt her in trying to connect with you, thus you gain another guardian figure! sticking true my idea of pomni being uneasy around kids because they can be gross and have no filter and be unpredictable i think at first she would be a little... tense around you, but overtime becomes more comfortable when she realizes youre not like that. definitely going to take a while, though.. shrugs
GANGLE:
definitely finds you sweet, lets you hang around in her room and mess with her art supplies. probably cries harder when you try to make her feel better after jax does something, usually something that leaves her with a broken comedy mask. i dont think she would let you confront jax about it, though... she appreciates the sentiment but shes not about to make it look like she sent a little kid to defend her, thats only going to give jax even more ammo even if you stood up for her on your own. sometimes lets you put stickers on her mask or glitter... ponders.. i think she reads stories to you too, every night
ZOOBLE:
i think ive already said this before but zooble gives off such older sibling energy, and i cant really explain it other than its just the personality and looks... but i guess that doesnt explain much. shrugs. sweet younger sibling, cool but indifferent older sibling. or at least you think theyre cool. and you tell them every chance you guy. i think they would just give a weird "thaaanks.." the first few times before fully leaning into the older sibling role. dont get me wrong like before they wouldnt just leave you wandering around alone during an IHA, hell i dont think they would there wasnt one going on.. but they wouldnt go out of their way to hang out with you.. but eventually they just kind of keep a closer eye on you. check in on you. ask what youre up to. theyre not attached to you by the hip but theyre definitely present in your life as a role model. tries to make you be less nice, gives you the talk that not everyone is nice and sometimes some people fake being nice in order to get what they want. but in kid terms, obviously... well not little kid terms i still think zooble would be blunt but they wouldnt be harsh

Time is meaningless, so just Good. How are you.
I know all the puppets' personalities are essentially the same, but they clearly don't act like children's characters anymore (like wallys fuck you to fionn in that one ask;I know it was a joke but still)
When wally watches old wh reruns, or when any of the others see any, I feel like they'd get reeeallly embarrassed. And like, identity-crisissy seeing how they were before they gained sentience
Sally (on tv): I just LOVE watching MOVIES with my FRIENDS!!! What's YOUR favorite movie???
(awkwardly long pause)
That's MY favorite, too!!!!
Regular Sally: 😐😑 what the fuck
Just some thoughts to rotate in your brain. Have a Day
Abgbgfnghf I mean you're not wrong - they keep their original personalities but as the days go on they realise they've actually changed a lot from who they were before they gained sentience...
Wally, still the friendliest neighbour you could meet and still a lover of the arts, but everything he went through changed him from a once calm and silly puppet to a tired, traumatised puppet who feels responsible for their predicament, and suffers from the betrayal of his own Home.
Barnaby still loves to tell jokes and act the sly, silly scallywag he is, but inside is an unshakeable paranoia, that he might lose his neighbours and best friend for real this time, and he doesn't want that to happen. He's already lost his mama technically, and that's bad enough!
Still joyful and playful, Julie feels skittish and restricted however, in a world that sees adults as those who have to be serious, hard money making machines, where fun is looked down upon. On top of that she has technically lost her siblings.
Frank remains knowledgable and stoic, his love for butterflies never dying, but inside he hates the sudden change. He didn't want to leave Home, he didn't want it to go; thus he is prone to meltdowns every now and then.
Eddie's heart is still of gold, still clumsy as can be yet forever well meaning, but after seeing Home's carnage, he feels kind of lost. His dear post office was ripped away from him, and his dearest Frank was nearly taken too, so he will never let Frank out of his sight, no matter how overbearing he seems.
Friendly clerk Howdy remains the fast talking, smiley caterpillar he always was, and even gets a chance to let loose in the human world, but like Eddie, he so dearly misses his little bodega, even if it nearly hurt him. He now feels responsible for Frank and Eddie's behaviour, trying to keep them in check, and oh how can dealing with Fionn grind his sanity.
Once a performer, always a performer: Sally always likes to make little plays to keep everyone happy, and will make all the foolproof plans in the world to keep them safe from any dangerous humans. However even the most skilled actress can tucker herself out with people pleasing through acting, and like Howdy, arguing with Fionn puts a toll on you.
Poppy is definitely the most careful neighbour, always looking out for her friends and being there for them always. But after travelling to a whole new world, wouldn't your nerves and worries increase tenfold? Hers certainly did, bumbling and whimpering at anything bad that might happen, feeling like a burden due to her cautious nature.
Watching their old shows brings back a sad mix of hopelessness, longing and nostalgia - they may not be able to go back, it seems, but at least they can still experience their old lives one way or another, even with the occasional embarrassment at their quirks in episodes!

So I read your fic of the transformers being like the cybermen and how they reproduce and could not get it out of my head. So I had this thought,
There are instances of cybermen and the like not realizing what they are or waking up to try and warn who’s next. Imagine it was one of the rescue bots like blades who desperately pulls Cody and the other humans aside and begs them to stop accepting his and the others gifts.
He tells them that he remembers fighting this but when he looks back he can’t remember why and often finds himself thinking it was silly to fight. He doesn’t know about the others. He was the last one their sire was able to make. He knows Optimus made Bumblebee and that Bumblebee had excitedly told him Optimus planned to give him siblings.
He feels like a fraud because this doesn’t feel like rescuing these humans.
Ohhohoho this is the good stuff right here. Don't mind me at all :)
Previous part here.
━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙
The Rescue Bots had been given clear orders to not bring any into the fold when they were woken from stasis. Optimus had not cut any corners in explaining the delicate situation on Earth and with the war. The Rescue Bots were disappointed considering they could instinctually sense their low numbers and had all long since matured enough to bring more into the fold, but they obeyed. They did nothing to possibly even hint at bringing more into the fold as they interacted with their human companions and worked to protect the organics under their care. However, that certainly did not stop them from keeping their optics on those with potential. Of course that meant that their interest inevitably drifted toward their human companions, at least those young enough to potentially survive the process.
Blades was no different than his fellows. His interest drifted between Dani and Cody, the two most viable for folding and those which he cared for most amongst the organics. But unlike Heatwave who was focused on Cody as well, Boulder who took a liking to Graham, or Chase who held an appreciation for Kade despite the fact that they were not teamed up... Blades was uncertain. His fellows watched the viable humans eagerly, their optics bright with greater and greater instinctual desire with every feat their chosen performed. But Blades? While he most certainly felt the same pull toward Dani, there was something deep in his spark that remembered. He knew what folding looked like, he knew what it did to an organic to make them one of Primus's creations. However there was just something so very... wrong with the idea of turning the humans.
It wasn't really the idea of folding them that upset him. No, he had no issues with that. He wasn't exactly enthusiastic, but rather apathetic toward the concept as a whole. What bothered him was the fact that the humans were unaware of folding and what it entailed. It was custom to not tell the potentials of the folding process, largely to ease their minds and keep them from thinking hard. Stress was the most common killer of sparklings being taken into the fold. It couldn't be risked.... and yet despite that, Blades felt and all encompassing disgust toward the idea of the humans not knowing. His memory was not the greatest, but he recalled fighting against the folding process. He remembered screaming and trying to bite and flee when it came to his Sire. Why he did so was beyond his understanding. He was made stronger, he had his weak mortal flesh stripped away and was gifted a frame far superior to the organic material from which he originated. It was ridiculous for him to have fought. Yet, he remembered doing so and a small part of him felt that it was almost his moral obligation to give a warning.
He had no reason to worry about the humans and warning them for many long months. His life was too hectic to give it a lot of thought outside of his few moments of downtime, but that changed when Optimus Prime arrived at their base without warning.
Heatwave: Sir? What are you doing here?
Optimus: There has been a serious change of plans.
Chase: What does that mean?
Optimus: My team and I have been bringing three humans into the fold. However the Decepticons have infiltrated our efforts and have already placed joint claims on our wards.
Boulder: I am not liking where this is going.
Blades: Wait, you were folding humans? But you told us not to!
Optimus: Yes, now listen. Megatron now has leverage over me and my team, but in turn, so do we.
Heatwave: What do we need to do?
Optimus: You catch on quick.
Optimus: We will keep the Decepticons distracted for as long as possible. Your mission is to begin creating a folding order here on Earth. Bring as many into our ranks as you can feasibly manage. More Autobots will be stationed here to assist.
Boulder: This is a very... aggressive tactic.
Optimus: We are at war Boulder. Not only that, but the sparkling rearing laws have already been broken. Megatron has placed a claim on my sparkling without the proper rites being performed. It is only right that we too do what we must.
Chase: We can fold as many humans as we can, but how will we keep them safe from being similarly claimed?
Optimus: This island is all but totally cloaked. Those brought into the fold will remain here, and this is where we shall establish our stronghold. Autobot city, the place where our ranks shall be renewed and where we might have... leverage.
Heatwave: Sir you can't really be considering-!?
Optimus: The sparklings will be our ticket to ensuring we maintain the upper hand. Megatron is cruel, but his lieutenants wish for sparklings more than anything else. It will not be difficult to begin drawing more and more Decepticons to our side with the promise of sparklings, especially considering we have the resources to take hundreds of potential candidates at once.
The Rescue Bots were of course incredibly dubious about the plan. They all wanted sparklings, even Blades. But they were not exceptionally thrilled about the idea of said sparklings also playing the role of political tool. Well, that was until Optimus pulled a small being from within his carrying chamber. The Bots instantly fell silent, each watching as Optimus unwrapped his charge to reveal a human child, one about halfway through the folding process. For Blades it merely set a strange uncertainty ablaze in his spark, but for the others, it was not hard to see how it made all their reservations go flying out the window.
Their orders had been given. They were to begin the folding process with as many young as possible, and soon enough the plan was put into motion. Optimus pulled some strings and soon enough there were government agents bringing over young children, orphans who had been brought over under the guise of receiving special teaching from Autobot agents. It was not wrong by any means, but Blades only grew more and more unsettled as Autobots began arriving en mass. Blurr, Quickshadow, High Tide, and even Bumblebee were quickly deployed and were swift in beginning the correct rituals. All the while Blades could only watch on in discomfort as the island was changed, walls being put around the border, new Cybertronian structures taking root, and so much more.
The humans did panic as more and more Autobots arrived and began to build, but whatever Optimus said soothed them and it seemed the running lie was that the island was being fortified against possible Decepticon attacks. The poor humans believed it, hook, line, and sinker. There was nothing Blades could do as Kade, Dani, Cody, and Graham began accepting gifts and affection while Burns similarly took offerings with a smile. Blades had no problem with the folding on its own... but this felt wrong. They didn't know. They had no clue what they were getting into, and with orphans being brought to the island as more Autobots arrived, Blades felt the urge to at least do his due diligence.
Blades: Do you like this life you have?
Cody: Yeah?
Blades: Then stop accepting our gifts. The more you take, the more our rite progresses.
Dani: What does that mean?
Blades: I can't tell you much. It's not my job.
Kade: Spit it out Blades!
Blades: ...
Graham: What's going on?
Blades: We want you all to join us. Accepting what we offer only tells us that you wish to join the fold.
Blades did not tell them much, but it was enough to set the humans on edge. For weeks they were hesitant, but one by one, they seemed to think Blades was referring to joining the team fully or something of the like. He could only frown as the humans unknowingly started to accept energon from the Rescue Bots and other gathered Autobots. He felt a degree of guilt for not telling them outright, but this was going to happen whether he liked it or not. It was best that they were unburdened during the process.
And so he watched and took Dani under his wing, giving her his energon in small doses without her knowing as the quietly dubbed 'Autobot City' began to rise around them. The humans didn't know yet, they did not know that the Autobots were digging in roots. They were unaware of the fact that Bumblebee had given Optimus and his team full control over communications coming to and from the island. Already there were plans for unfortunate deaths to occur for the human children being brought to them, and Optimus had made all sorts of deals Blades was not privy to in order to ensure Burns stayed quiet once the changes began.
Things were progressing, and while his spark flared in growing joy at seeing so many being brought into the fold, an echo of guilt followed him. These little ones may not survive, and they were going to be taken from their families. It was the way of Cybertronians, but a small part of Blades, a piece of him that failed to fully change... it wept as Bumblebee gleefully brought three small sparklings with him to the island.
"These are my newest siblings! The little one is Atlas, the femme is Terra, and the biggest is Cronos!"
"They were given... Earth names?"
"They were the first. Optimus and the others wanted to honor that!"
"Oh, I see."
Three young sparklings. Their frames still appeared very human, but their sparks were there. They were the first. Three children, three small humans taken from all they knew to become part of a dying race. Blades could not help but be grieved, especially when Burns was silenced with hush money and his children taken from him.

Omg your Sora/Banchina post is so good 😭 i loved read this, and like, Sanji's brothers (and sis) would be really protective of Sora and their brother, so when Sanuso start to date would be kinda a chaos
When Sanuso starts dating, it is the most chaotic thing in the world.
You see, the brothers are always being a bit mean to Sanji because he is a crybaby but it's just in the regular, normal, sane way siblings act. But if there is any possibility of Sanji being in danger/away from them, they get really protective.
They don't have any issues with Banchina and, in fact, they love her so much it's insane. They enjoy her company and help and they're always asking when she's coming over too because "Mommy looks happier when she is around, so we want her to come back!". Until one day they don't have to keep asking because she is constantly there. And they love her. They are... Intense and clingy with Sora, yes, and won't dare to leave her side either. And if they realize there is something romantic going on, they won't hesitate to be even more protective. But in general they accept Banchina right away because, again, she looks happier than when she is alone with her thoughts (<- Sora tries to hide it, but they did run away from Germa, after all. She is worried Judge might find them. Always thinking what would have happened to her little angels if she hadn't saved them. Always, always taking care of them).
But!!!!!! It's a different story with Usopp.
You know, when they meet, they are kids. And Sanji is a sweetie pie. And naive. And maybe Usopp gets a bit carried away with his lies and maybe Sanji believes all of them. But they're cute little lies and they always make Sanji happy, so it's fine. Basically, more storytelling than anything. And it's not that the siblings don't like him! In fact, Usopp's aiming/shooting skills are already pretty good and they're impressed by that. Always asking him if he can do tricks with them.
Buuuut. Usopp is younger and anxious and God the brothers love to tease him about Sanji and they try to make him stutter when he is lying/storytelling to make fun of him in front of Sanji. It's just silly and it's all kids games. Nothing cruel. But!!!!! But there is also the realization that "they like each other. Usopp likes Sanji". And at first, it's just a silly thing so they make fun of them, but as they grow up together, their crushes on each other also do and it's like,,, It's something they learn to live with. They get used to it.
They've been in love forever and they are 17/15 and haven't confessed yet and it is just their normal behavior. Everyone can see they're in love. And when the "they are actually in love and it's not only a crush thing" sinks in, the brothers do get a bit protective. Because Sanji knows how to defend himself thanks to them but, again, Zeff's influence is crucial for Sanji's character so I think here he'd be just a little tiny bit softer than usual? Not really. Same personality. But the sibs just feel like they need to take care of him. Not gonna explain this word for word but-- There is obviously the "we're so done with you pining over longnose, PLEASE just confess so we don't have to hear you anymore" conversation with Sanji and "if you hurt him we will kill you. We could do it. Eyes closed. No hesitation. Don't you even dare make him cry once-" with Usopp. They regret it immediately, tho, because when Sanji and Usopp start dating they become ever more annoying and clingy and it's,, Impossible.
They all share a room. Not really. Reiju has her own room and the brothers sleep on a different one. Bunkbeds and everything. And even if they didn't sleep there together, the house is small and the walls are thin and they can't have any privacy in there. And they're always eating together because of course they all love Sanji's cooking, but he is always so cheesy with Usopp they prefer to kick them out of there and eat leftovers. This starts when they're 17/15, right? So it's two... Whole years... Dealing with them... Until they go with Luffy.....
Oh!!!!!! And Reiju. She is the sweetest and gets along with Usopp SO well. She and Sora are always talking with him about Sanji and they're so so so supportive. Reiju is the one to always defend these two from the other 3 idiots.
But it's alright because the brothers always find ways of teasing their new brother-in-law ("I'm not married to Sanji, though-" / "With the way he looks at you, you might want to start preparing for the wedding already"). So at least they have fun. But sometimes they look at Usopp in a weird, defensive way and he gets,,,, Scared.

This one is probably my oldest twst WIP. Pretty much I wanted to try my hand at a darker Silver while still keeping to his normal personality, that and my sibling wanted me to try something with Octavinelle and this clip. And just a warning... this was not edited.
Enjoy!
..................
‘Place all of your valuables in here, please.’
‘Wh-what?!’
Posed elegantly behind his polished desk, Azul rubs the space between his eyes with an irritable sigh, praying to the sea witch for even an ounce of patience. What was he thinking, having the silver haired Diasomnian do this to repay his debt, I should have just had him work in the lounge like everyone else.
Alas the fault lies with him, after advising the second year during halloween Azul was ecstatic at having a student from the infamous Diasomnia indebted to him, oh all the tantalising trade negotiations and contracts he could have wormed its inhabitants into! And having thought that a guard of the Malleus Draconia would naturally prove to be a formidable bouncer, perhaps someone who could even match with Floyd when Jade isn’t around, but instead all Azul got was this overly nice, air-headed fool who hadn’t the slightest sense of intimidation at all! Perhaps I struck too low with this one, I may need to raise the stakes to get into a contract with The Draconia prince. 
Incidentally, Silver waited patiently and held out the bag that Jade had so graciously given him towards the confounded fool who thought he could run from his debts. 
Usually it would be Azul who’d personally settle the score with his clients, but in his greediness he foolishly gave the task to Silver to test out the human’s capabilities, which were currently lacking at best. At least he still had Jade around to keep a close eye on things while Azul was forced to watch miserably from the side.
The Diasomnian’s warm auroral gaze peered earnestly into the anxious student’s eyes ‘Since you have failed to repay what you owed in money it is only right that you must pay with something of equal value’ Silver says matter of factly, shaking the bag for emphasis ‘though preferably with whatever valuables you already have on your person or whatever goes in Octavinelle.’ The student stares at him with a tense uncertainty, unsure of what to make of this new “employee” of Azul’s, normally the silver haired beauty was found at Malleus Draconia’s side or walking the hallways with Diasomnia’s vice housewarden, he was certainly less… intimidating than the Leech twins. Speaking of, a little aways from them, Floyd listlessly peels himself from the luminescent aquarium wall which appeared to be slowly crowding with schools of brightly coloured fish and mosied over to drape himself dramatically backwards on the sofa, right next to an unfazed Silver’s head, and lightly flicked the human on the side of his head with a huge voracious grin plastered on his face ‘Ha ha, silly Jellyfish, you're doing it all wrong you have ta’ scare ‘em more’ he cheerfully trills. Then, still upside down, he stares directly at the fidgety student with those piercing mismatched eyes ‘isn’t that right, little fishie?’ the Leech asked, the dull blue light from the aquarium illuminated those razor sharp teeth which grinned at them. When the student suddenly stutters and stammers and doesn’t answer, that shark-like grin fell into something far more vicious, similar to Silver’s wolf friends as they stalk their prey. ‘I asked you a question, fishie’ Floyd growled, fingers twitching.
The student yelped fearfully and nodded so fast Silver worried that they might have hurt their neck. And like a switch being flipped, Floyd instantly returned to his usual lazy grin ‘see? Just like that, now you try Jellyfish,’ he tells Silver with a surprisingly soft slap to his arm. ‘Hmm, well I suppose I could try as my father has said to use similar methods in negotiations’ Silver murmured aimlessly, though hesitation was written all over his features, did he say they were for negotiations or interrogations? Malleus says there's hardly a difference but…
Next to the table Jade gracefully stood from Silver’s right, smiling to himself as he chuckled gleefully ‘why yes Silver, your father certainly sounds like a wise man and if I may contribute. If you see there are no forms of immediate payment, be sure to negotiate other options that may be paid forthwith, in these circumstances it doesn’t matter how arduous your terms may be,’ the elder twin advised, sparing the quivering student an amused glance ‘as per the contract says of course, we are on a timeframe after all.’
Still at his desk, Azul resisted the urge to bury his face in his hands and groan in misery like some uncouth moron. This was utterly ridiculous, how could he have ever thought that entertaining a proposal from those damn eels was a good idea! Those sadistic slimy pool noodles relish in seeing him suffer!
Of all the things Azul could have forgotten it just had to be the twins' odd infatuation with the silver haired human, it was near insulting how the twins were as reeled in by the second year’s knightley charms as the wildlife were (namely those pesky aquarium fish), Silver practically had them wrapped around his pretty little finger! 
To be honest that wasn’t the most comforting thought as Azul remembers how Jade and Floyd sometimes stumble upon their fellow second year whenever they ‘find’ him dozing around campus and think it would be a brilliant idea to snatch him up and drag him back to the Mostro Lounge whenever they pleased (really Azul never had the energy to ask why they preferred to shove the sleeping diasomnian into a giant potato sack and over their shoulders). It always drove the housewarden into near cardiac arrest whenever he’d hear the twins snarling at each other the moment they barge through the Lounge’s mirror, bearing needle like teeth at each other as they all but brawled for the bag, ignorant of their delicate cargo inside which pierced adrenaline through the suave Housewarden’s chest every time a tuft of silver hair so much as peeked out of the bag’s edge, it was just as if the three of them were still living beneath the coral sea and either twin didn’t want to share a certain snack or toy. While the two grappled, it was up to Azul to make sure that not a scratch was left on the human who slumbered peacefully throughout the whole ordeal, not out of any misguided affection mind you, but because that wretched Diasomnia has made it abundantly clear of what their housewardens will do should anything happen to this particular student of theirs, the dealer felt a shiver fall down his spine as he recalled back in his first year the last incident where some foolish Octavinelle students thought to rope Silver into a particularly nasty deal. He could still smell the acrid scent of burnt clothing and hair from that day.
Suddenly, Azul was pulled from his musings as the very air around them felt as if it fell by several degrees. Turning back to the group he raised an eyebrow as the silver guard now read from a small stack of papers Jade must have just given him, judging from the faint signature and beautifully yellowed paper, Azul recognised it as being the client’s contract. Silver leaned back on the sofa, one leg languidly crossed over the other while his head rested against his free hand. The human’s expression remained eerily impassive as he skimmed the contracts elegant handwriting, not a single muscle shifted other than a raised eyebrow ‘hmm, how terrible to have run into such misfortune, well then, first order of business I must commend the effort you have pulled together to avoid this meeting’ Silver hummed after a moment of heavily tense silence. The second year’s lips twitched at the corners upon seeing the client’s seat being the only thing keeping their trembling knees from buckling when those wicked, gleaming eyes fell down upon them ‘though unfortunately now we must abide by the contract, by any means necessary or so I’ve been told’ Little by little in the dim blue lighting of Octavinelle, something cold and piercing slowly began to devour and fill that warm knightley gaze, as if one had melted all the light in the room until nothing but darkness remained. For a moment Azul had to blink and fix his glasses, he was not expecting that. Was it something all of Diasomnia could do? He had to find out, this could be a golden opportunity to finally profit off those damnable drama queens! The brightness had fled the lounge, even the twins had ceased in their awful teasing and only watched the proceedings with hungry eyes.  
‘Thus I must repeat myself; put all your valuables in the bag.’  No protests were made this time as sorry little trinkets and whatnots were haphazardly tossed into the bag. Silver gave it the most unimpressed frown he could manage as the bag jingled mid air, even the sound of its contents were deplorable ‘hmm, I’ve seen better’ he murmured dryly ‘and this is everything?’ another meek nod, pathetic really, even the lowest of palace servants had better offerings ‘what about that watch? That seems very valuable, gold I believe it is, and not the fake kind’ after all Lord Malleus made certain that his guards knew the difference between a fake and the real thing. The client’s hand swiftly clamped over that alluring shine ‘I-I-I can’t, it belonged to my grandpa!’ they whimpered, shrinking even further as Silver was unmoved, he tilted his chin up slightly and glanced down at them ‘that is none of my concern now, is it? You should have thought better than to fall so whimsically into a deal then’ he sighed touching his fingers to his forehead ‘though again, you were one of those foolish three hundred students who thought they could gamble their way through finals so perhaps logic is beyond you. Nevertheless I believe there can be a way we could work around this predicament’ Silver then leaned forward, hands clasped between his knees.
‘If you refuse to offer up the watch, you may offer your memories of it instead’
‘What?’
Grinning peculiarly, somehow the silver human’s very presence suddenly enveloped the whole room, the very air became frigidly cold, Azul was no longer there behind his desk with his greedy, expanding grin, ecstatic at the second year’s regal performance. The twins weren’t caging them in from the sides anymore, figuratively licking their teeth at the prospect of playing with a new toy. 
‘Allow me to explain; instead of giving up your precious watch which you say was given to you by your grandfather, I will be gracious enough to allow you to give all your memories of it in its place. Every memory which makes it special to you, that should make a fair exchange.’
Either way you will part with the watch, went unsaid but was clear in their minds, even if the client gave their memories it will turn the watch into that, an ordinary watch with no personal value. And the client somehow figured this out.
‘That’s not fair, it’s just the same result with different methods!’ they yelled all of a sudden, putting on a show of bravery, but that's all it was, a show. 
‘It's not fair?’ The expression on Silver’s face shifted, locking everyone, including Azul and the twins in place. It was an expression that demanded naught less than fear, submission and perhaps even worship. It was a look that told the weak to bow until their heads grazed the dirt, eerily similar to a certain housewarden. ‘You do understand that you are to serve Octavinelle until your graduation, right? And you wanted to modify your terms of the contracts so we must find something of equal exchange. What you have offered is miniscule to what is required and your only saving grace is the value of that watch or your memories, I’m just giving you the less painful option, so make your choice now’ 
The Octavinelle housewarden was ecstatic. Maybe he needn’t look for another potential pawn in Diasomnia after all…
‘After a little more persuasion they finally handed it over and we concluded negotiations’ Silver recounted, shivering in his seat ‘ugh, I’ve never felt so cold blooded before, it felt awful’ across from him, the small fae crooned sympathetically then chuckled with the soft clink of a teacup settling on its saucer ‘oh my dear boy, if it's any consolation I believed you did wonderfully despite your disapproval, truly Malleus has taught you well.’ Lilia jumped in surprise as brightly green thunder suddenly clapped and flashed around the Diasomnia dorm
‘Almost a little too well if you ask me, what in twisted wonderland could have gotten that boy in a tizzy?’
Silver looked out the window a little sheepishly ‘ah, I suppose that’s on me, apparently after negotiations Azul wanted me to work for him full time but I politely declined as it collided with my duties toward Lord Malleus’ he spied a little glint of glass hidden within the bushes ‘and it seems they are still in pursuit to recruit me’ Lilia chuckled good heartedly while covering Silver’s eyes as a flash of lighting hit the bushes directly. Maniacal laughing followed as both Floyd and Jade leapt out with little bits of smouldering ash burning in their hair ‘my they sure are persistent,’
‘Fools! Idiots! You dare try to claim what is already mine, I shall burn you to cinders!’

Welcome Home × Soul Eater AU ramble
I had announced it, I shall now share it !
Behold, WH SE AU
Context :
In the world of Soul Eater, there are people who can transform into weapons (called demonic weapons), a genetic trait coming from some witch experimenting on humans centuries before. To avoid having those "weapons" go out of control, Shinigami, a god of death, created a school called Shibusen, where those weapons could learn how to control their powers. There are also people who come to this school to partner with the weapons and wield them, those are called meisters.
In this AU, our colorful cast of Welcome Home characters are students at this school in their last few years of studies (18-23 years old) and decided to create a race to the top before their graduation. The goal ? Get their weapon partner to the "death scythe" level by getting as much evil souls as they can. Who will win ? Who knows 👀
Let's present our six duos !
Tumblr media
Julie Joyful and Frank Frankly (butterfly net)
Tumblr media
Barnaby b. Beagle and Wally Darling (big apple hammer)
Howdy Pillar and Poppy Partridge (scythe)
Tumblr media
Sally Starlet and Lucero Starlley (guitar axe)
Tumblr media
Suave Moonwatcher and Eddie Dear (shield, later on a giant pair of scissor)
Tumblr media
Nyxie Moonwatcher and Calypso O Octave (musical saw/violin)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course we can't forget out dear silliest, Home as Shinigami !!
Full page :
Tumblr media
Lucero and Calypso belong to @kokoiep
Ramble :
Okay so this AU is actually over a year old, I had old designs and dynamics I wasn't 100% happy with because this AU was co created
Idk how the other creator is doing, I haven't talked to them in a loooong while, so I decided to rebrand the AU a little
Now, I'll explain my choices and lore
For one, I believe in keeping the canon personalities. So, when deciding who's a weapon and who is a meister, I tried to go along how the characters would act and what alligns with their silly selves. The characters that ended up as weapons needed to be weapons, otherwise it doesn't fit their personality to come to Shibusen to become a meister (reminder, meister can choose to go to Shibusen, weapons are kinda obligated to)
For the clothing, I just had fun with the "school uniform" concept as given in the Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not manga series.
And for the pairing, I included a lot of ocs, ik, but I wanted the pairs to truly match in energy and personality, and also I love my and Koko's oc and it's my AU I do what I want !
Joking side, here are some more funfact on how they ended up there
Julie followed in her siblings footsteps
Barnaby came to partner with Wally, the two are childhood best friends
Sally and Howdy came for fame and opportunities that come with being a meister
Nyxie and Suave where raised in Shibusen for lore reasons 👀
Julie and Wally are dating !
Frank and Eddie are a bit more on and off, because Eddie is an anxious mess and Frank doesn't like competion
But at the same time, the shipping in this AU is "yes" because : Julie and Wally are a thing, but Julie is very close to Frank, who is on and off with Eddie, and Eddie is quite close to Howdy, and Sally likes to flirt with Eddie and Poppy, but Lucero has a crush on Sally, who might have a lil crush on Julie, but Nyxie has a crush on Lucero, and Barnaby and Wally are reaaallly close
Good luck, may the ships all sail at once like it's the Vendée Globe :D
Other funfacts
Nyxie and Suave are actually weapons too, Nyxie is a frying pan (because what else would she be) and Suave is undetermined. Both are very unstable and thus can't really be weapons full time, hence why they meister others
Everyone has part time jobs !
Nyxie and Suave work at a bar, Eddie works at the post office, Sally works at a theater, Lucero works with Caly at a music shop, Frank works at a library, Julie in a hairdresser salon, Poppy and Howdy work at a little retail shop, Wally and Barnaby work in a clothing store.
They all live in the same appartement complex, all neighbors and they visit eachother all the time ! Each pair live together too, platonically.
I think that's about all I can say
This AU is a lil special to me because I love Soul Eater and the lore and ik there is probably already some other SE Wh aus but I wanted to get this out anyway and see if people enjoy my silly rambling
I posted it on tiktok already and people ate this up lol, I'm kinda hoping they would too here as well ? We'll see.

A stab In the back Tw: abuse
Chapter 3
Chapter 2 , chapter 1
A soul bond was usually impossible to break unless you were one of the most powerful witches in all of devildom. He was known for being able to easily break these bonds, so why would it be any different with one of the 7 lords of hell and his sister?  "I need them brought to me along with items that hold great importance for them, one from Mammon the other from Michal. And Vail of Mammon's blood" she would say to a now intrigued Satan who hums a response. "And how long will the process take?" The witch rolled her eyes. "Considering the sheer power Mammon holds it will take a lot longer for results to show up than for other demons or even angels." Satan just nodded his response before leaving to inform the brothers, they'll get what they need right?
Back at HOL Levi had been pacing in his room frumpy, he remembered the look he decided from Mammon when they ad gone out together when it pissed him off. Why was Mammon so excited to hang out? Oh right he knows Why! So he could have a drinking buddy, someone to join in on his crimes that's who! And why should Mammon have a soul bond with Michal?!his was much better than he could ever Be! Frankly Levi hated the older so much! "Ugh Mammon this Mammon that" another grumble. "Whatever he won't live  for much konger" he huffs. Going to mammon room to keep up the silly facade of: I care about you.
He finds his brother playing with one of his many crows thst stupid smile plastered on his face like a child who just tried candy for the first time. 'Pathetic' He thinks. Before proceeding too join. "Mammon? What are you doing?" He feigns curiosity. "Huh oh I was just playing with Bartholomew, you can join if you want or we could do another activity of your choosing lev." "...an activity of my choosing? Oh uh.." a pause as he silently panicked. "Okay  uh! How about we play Mario kart. It's a classic and even a normie like you can understand it. Y'know since you know cars sooo much." Mammon could only playfully roll his eyes "and you know a lot about magical space ladies" "Oh shut up!"
Who does not enjoy a case of Mario cart. I'll tell you.
"MAMMONNNN!!!!" Called the pissed off Lucifer stomping his way up too Mammon's room a scowl upon his face. There's no chance for either Mammon or Levi to react before the eldest decended upon the 2nd born. "What were you thinking?! Attempting to steal from one of the most well known jewelry stores in Devildom and then from the castles royal treasury?! what is wrong with you? Have non of the punishments I give  you enough?!" The yelling was a shock to Mammon. He had not done any of that stuff but here he is getting yelled at for it, for something he did not do nor had any part in. "Wh-what? No that's not me! I was home all day Levi can confirm it right?!" Desperately Mammon would look into the eyes of his 1st little brother, internally praying he would confirm his innocence cause he had nothing to do with those crimes! Lucifer looked at Levi, expectantly raising his brow. "L-levi..?" still no response. Shit. Lucifer he's closer. Mammon's heart beats faster. "Lucifer, Lucifer really i- I didn't do it, you have to believe me I'm innoccent!" Quickly Mammon raised his arms to his head to somewhat child himself from the whipping he is about to revive when...
"he didn't do it" the sudden response made Lucifer stop then turns towards the 3rd born. " What?" Both older siblings seem shocked. "He had nothing to do with any of it he's...he's been wth me! S-so he's innocent." Mammon felt like he could cry at those words. Levi...He actually defensed him? The joy of the moment hadn't last. It seems like Levi's defense of the greedy boy had 0 affect at changing Lucifer's mind. With a terrifying sickening *CRACK* the whip was brought down followed by pained cries of anguish.

*drip*

"Mammon"
.

*drip*
.
.

"Mammon...?"
.

"Mammon!"

.

"MAMMON!!"
 .
.
.
He jolts awake. Looking around to hear the source of the voice it was Michal. "Mammon?! Oh my goodness thank heaven you're alright!" his sister cried. The hold upon the dazed demon was tight. Like a child that just found their caretaker after getting lost in the parking lot kind of tight. "I heard a loud  crack and I appeared only find you bleeding though bandages. Who could do such anything..? Are you okay really you don't need to lie to me don't lie to me!" The sister cried. She was angry. Angry at letting her twin whom she shared one of the strongest bonds with get hurt like this. "I uh.." Mammon didn't have the heart too tell her. He coudldn't just tell his sister  the brother they both looked up too had been the one  ehocdid this. "It doesnt mstter, what matters now is that I'm okay right?" "But!" "Sh....sh.. No buts Michal. I'll be okay. I promise. It was  probably just a witch anyway" he hated lying too her.
He then looked around. "Wheres Levi?" A sense of worry for the younger avatar washed over Mammon. "He was..He was here when I.. balcked out where is He?" The dazed twin liked st his ghost twin wanting his questions to be answered. "Levi..He wasn't here when I appeared...." "o-oh.."
He sighs. Slowly forcing himself up then grabbing his D.D.D in favour of calling his therapist Barbatos.
No need to discuss what their conversation was. Let us check on another character shall we?
☆☆☆☆
He got everything they needed. The blood, Mammon's item of importance aka a locket that held a picture of their family back when they were angels, Michal's own locket which matched Mammon's only it was just a picture of  of just her and Mammon. " Why does he get to be  in such am important item" he grumbled. "We have everything except Mammon. How are we going to lure him here?" He turned to his elder sibling. "Luke"
☆☆☆☆
It's been a few days since then things have been off. Lucifer and the there were a lot more cruel too mammon than before. "Mammon!" He woukd constantly hear if he hadn't done something right. "Look at all the food you ruined! That could have been used to feed  a whole family oh wait" the scolding continues and Mammon often said nothing. "I'm sorry" he would say hoping his brother would go easy on him. But here mammon was. In a dark room no windows no food nothing but the black abys with his only company being his dead  sister. "I don't understand why they're acting like this or why he's acting like this." He hiccups feeling his stomach gnawing at him, threatening to cause damage if he didn't eat something anything. "I just..ugh I just..,I don't understand I've done nothing wrong yet here I am locked in a room. Atleast I can't cause any problems."
The door opens. It's Levi. "I was told to let you out" he says almost uncaring. "Oh and uh Lucifer has a mission for you" the demon that never touches grass takes his leave. Que for mammon too follow.  In the living room they're met with Lucifer. "Mammon I know you have relations with many witches in Devildom." He start a scowling st his brother. "And it looks like you fucked up cause one witch the most powerful in all of Devildom had taken Luke.  Now I can't risk Diavolo's program and the relationship with the celedtial realm he's been trying to build for the past year and the witch wants you." Mammon gulps those eyed given to hi by his ow older brother were unreadable. "You are going to see the witch and you will be doing whatever she wants in return of Luke. Try your best to escape Mammon. Just stay long enough to save him."
Mammon who adored the little beat of an angel nodded. " Of course the great Mammon will save him!" He boasts out thst rush of urgency  and yet confidence making it's way into his body. As he quickly speeds his way to visit Devildom's most famous most powerful witch.
☆☆☆☆
"I have bad feeling about this we should go back" said Michal through Mammon's mind. "And risk Luke dead? He's like our youngest brother we can't do that. I can't leave him to die not at her hands" though the secluded forests thst riddled the outskirts of Devildom they find the location they were looking for. A shiver runs down Michal's spine. "Mammon I'm telling you this as your twin we have to go back!"
"We have to save him. I'm sorry Michal I love you I really do but Luke, he dosn't deserve to die at the hands of a witch he's still just a kid." They enter the witches home. Carefully Mammon sneaks about the building, he know every nook and cranny of it from heart for us been around here multiple times after all. "I think I know where he is" he whispered. Going to find his angelic son, eyes widening when he sees his state, he wants to puke "that..thats.." he covered his mouth vomit threatening to shoot up. "Luke don't worry i'll-" the sentence isn't finished. a sudden scream from Michal followed by him blacking out. A horrid crackle escspekf the witches mouth. "Don't worry avatar of greed. You'll be free from this realm hand replaced with your pretty twin Michal" she says as she starts to separate their bond.

Fuck

No...

This was-!

.
.

He's dead!

.
.
.
Why wasn't it working?!
.
,
.
.
She failed. She failed. Something stopped her why couldn't she did not right?! It's been a month s whole fucking month and something had to go wrong! Now Mammon's dead as there's nothing anyone could do about it. The why is leg go Scott free while everyone especially Lucifer turns their anger towards Levi. "you said it would work!" Hissed Asmo. "Why is she not back yet! Why did things go wrong?!" Leviathan puffed up his cheeks standing his ground. "Mammon was probably too much of s fucking failure to die and let go of our sister, I knew he was a fucking parasite. Now he's gone no longer able to cause any more problems ever again!" Lucifer could only scowl. "Leviathan is right. We'll get our sister back eventually but for now we celebrate the death of that parasitic little bitch."

"pinky promise?" for the yn verse besties :^) ((bc charlie is silly enough to pinky promise))
they really are
WORDCOUNT: 708 | Into the Y/Nverse | Platonic
It only takes one shared glance to decide what they’re doing.
“Race you!”
“Wh- hey!” Viper bolts after Charlie, legs working double time to overtake their stupidly long stride as they wave over their shoulder. “See you guys in a bit!”
The rest of their group laughs at the enthusiasm. By now they’re pretty used to Viper breaking their usual stoic behavior to go act like a child with Charlie – now that the two of them (three of them, counting Dakota) are talking to their coworkers more, it seems like everyone’s stopped being intimidated by Viper. It’s kind of nice.
Charlie and Viper skid into the front room of the laser tag area, Viper lagging a split second behind. “I WIN!”
“You and your stupidly long legs!” They try to grapple each other, and Viper ducks low to poke at Charlie’s stomach. “Quit making me run!”
“I didn’t make you do anything! You could’ve just lost!”
“Not a chance.”
The two of them push each other like bratty siblings while paying for entry. Here, they have a choice: compete for the most hits while on the same team, or go on opposite teams and hunt each other down. Both are appealing. Both have them glaring playfully at each other.
“Got a coin, Lili?”
“Uhhh…” they dig around in their pockets. “I have… uh, a fidget toy and my staff card?”
“Gimme the card.” Viper takes it, holding Charlie’s staff ID between their finger and thumb. “We flip this. Picture side, and we go on the same team.”
“Awesome, okay.”
Viper tosses it pretty high up into the air and doesn’t bother catching it, letting the card fall to the floor and settle on… the barcode side. Opposite teams it is.
“I call blue!”
“Of course,” Viper rolls their eyes. “I’ll be on green.”
“Yeah, duh.” Charlie sticks their tongue out at them, which is returned. “First to get shot loses!”
“First to shoot the other one wins.”
On a nice day like this in the middle of a vacation period, the attraction is packed with people. There are seven strangers on Viper’s side that they don’t bother talking to – they’re not at all interested in being a team player today, they just want that hit on their friend. They suit up with a harness and connected laser gun (and have a quick thought about certain people they would never be able to play this game with) before the timer begins counting down and they brace to run out into the neon-lit darkness.
Three, two, one…
So long green team, Viper’s got a competition to win.
There are four teams, one coming from each corner of the arena: Blue, Green, Yellow, and White. The vests flash red when they’re hit, and stay red until the player heads back to a ‘respawn point’ somewhere in their corner of the room. Viper dodges around the White entrance and heads straight toward Blue. “Oh, Lili~!”
They hear a familiar laugh off to their right and point their gun in that direction. “Marco…!”
“Polo!” Charlie darts out from behind a barricade, missing their shot at Viper as they run. “Aw no!”
“Keep running, Lili!” Viper gives chase, firing at them as they race around the arena.
Dodge, dodge, weave, bolt. Charlie’s stuck in a straight shot to the next barricade. Viper lines up the shot as slowly as they dare.
Victory.
Later – ‘after the game’ later, once they’ve managed to catch up with the rest of the group in the arcade – the two of them sit crossed-legged on the floor, backs leaning against a wall as they watch an intense DDR competition play out. Charlie puts their elbow ontop of Viper’s head just to be annoying. Viper pokes them in the side.
“We should do this more often.”
Viper looks over the group cheering on two dancers. “I wouldn’t mind.”
Charlie grins. “I didn’t think you’d like this stuff that much!”
“The get-togethers? Yeah, me neither.” They huff, like whatever enjoyment they’re getting out of group outings is against their will. “But it’s not so bad. Just a lot.”
“… You’ll tell me if it ever gets to be too much, right?”
“Sure.”
“Pinky promise?”
Viper snorts and offers their hand. “Pinky promise.”
