Marinette's Elemental and Miraculous Matches (Zodaic)

Wu Xing, Bagua

Being of Wood and Metal, of the Zodiac, Marinette is set to thrive with Leopard, Rabbit, Monkey, and Rooster.

Leopard can play into Marinette's meddling nature, her elusiveness, precision, and her interest in working with thread. Like any cat, Leopard thrives as being a stealthy ambusher, catching targets off guard and throwing a monkey wrench in their agenda as the user can puppeteer them. Marinette would swiftly use this to restrain her opponents, and be a means to string people along and get them out of safety. She may not like the implications of fully physically controlling anyone, but she would use it well to secure it's used well and efficiently.

Roaar would be delighted in Marinette's confidence and cunning, she'd be the ideal leopard, knowing when her presence needs to be known and when it's time to be hidden. She would though work on Marinette's tolerance level with others, especially when wronged. When someone strikes with the intent to hurt/upset, it means war, it's not to be tolerated and let go, and if Marinette's to be discouraged from fighting back upfront, there are stealthy ways around that.

Rabbit plays off Marinette's energy, her swiftness, elusiveness, and even her multitasking capability. With super speed, Marientte will be delighted and thriving to get all done that she wants to get done, it also works off her flexibility in the field, evading her opponents and working off any opportunities she sees. Rabbit also works off her observation skills, for an eye for detail is required to take in everything around her before she zips past it.

Fluff would work well with Marinette, being gentle and bubbly, if a little flighty. Fluff does encourage productivity, and would have an appreciation for the arts and encourage Marinette's artisan interests. She would work with Marinette's preference to be busy, and help her learn to focus her energy for most productivity. Fluff herself is also a trickster, and if Marinette is ever dealing with anyone she can't be upfront with, she'll be quick to help Marinette learn how to outsmart and outrace her enemies.

Monkey is a Miraculous Marinette can pull off well as she is someone who rolls with and rides the chaos, and for a sporadic power of shapeshifting into animals or altering the size of her or the staff, this delivers Marinette the diversity in capability that she would thrive with. The extra nice thing is this power is incredibly flexible in it's use, allowing Marinette to act as she desires, whether she goes stealthy or toes the line of being a little more direct.

Xuppu has a lot of the same appeal as Plagg when paired with Marinette, for he also would eagerly roll with the chaos of her thought process and relish the shenanigans. Unlike Plagg, Xuppu would be much blunter and direct with his thoughts, keeping Marinette on her toes with his temper, impishness, and energy. He would work with Marinette to learn that fun matters too, and she shouldn't be stressing over others or duties all the time. Also, if dealing with something unfair, he'll be furious, and stress to her that this is not ok nor should it be something she tolerates/let's go. He'd readily scheme with her in doing petty pranks back to her enemies.

Rooster works off her creativity, ingenuity, quick and elaborate thinking. It works off her liking things to go a certain way, but able to be flexible and adjust. It also works off her eye for detail, thinking outside of the box, and figuring out what to write out for each singular rule.

Orikko is bold and cocky, he has a charisma and eagerness that Marinette can work off of, though his head may be a tad too big at times, but he does insist upon her own value and self-pride and worth. To not be afraid to state her opinion and to stick to her guns. He would engage her her creativity, relish to to see her thought process and how she structures things, working with chaos.

Of the Zodiac, Marinette is viable for Mouse, Ox, Carp, Snake, Horse, Goat, Dog, and Pig. Some of the Earth based Zodiac she may even be better paired with, as the Earth acts as the in between the other four elements and echoing some of those elements. The Earth Zodiac are set up to be best-viable for her. She'll pull them off well but there may be some struggle or something not clicking right away between power or kwami.

Mouse works off Marinette as a team player and her multitasking. Largely, biggest appeal is that it works off her strengths of working on the fly, working with others, and able to cover a various of tasks. And when you have a team of Marinette on the same page, all able to work off the same complex idea, you have a very scary force to face.

Mullo being mischievous and liking to startle and prank her humans for fun would keep Marinette on her toes (much like Xuppu), and luckily Marinette can roll with this chaotic little imp. Mullo would also encourage Marinette to keep working off her intellect, and also to push for her to prioritize herself, as Rats aim for success, any means necessary. Only big issue between these two is that Mullo would recommend sabotages against her competition that would go too far, much farther than Marinette would like (which Marinette isn't one for sabotaging, but she may be up for pranks and underhanded tactics to slight against those who go too far and deserve it). Mullo also does think Marinette is a little too soft.

Ox works off Marinette's strong resolve, determination, and ambition. With how determined and motivated she can be, she'll be one of the strongest Oxes and solid invulnerability. Only slight is that this is meant to be a powerhouse Miraculous to be tanking hits and hitting hard back. As Marinette isn't one for confrontation in fights, not entirely up her alley, but would make it work.

Stompp would be delighted with Marinette's strong sense of responsibility, her big heart for others, and how determined and ambitious she is. These are all traits Stompp likes his humans to have. Only thing to bother him is that Marinette's not one to let her anger out and openly challenge her opponents, that is something he would push for her to do.

Carp is a Miraculous that doesn't quite click with how Marinette likes to function, with it being designed to be a powerhouse and overwhelm opponents. Marinette though prefers to toe the line, which her draconic form will consider, designed more for speed and evasiveness, so there is something there for her to work off of. And her element, air, will be well used as air isn't as quickly harming as the others, and she would use it to blow back opponents or means of deflection. Not the best fit right away, but she would make it work.

Longg being patient, formal, and calm, he's a kwami Marinette can work off well, and would have the perks to be the calm and source of logic against any of Marinette's spirals. And if Longg starts to ramble away, Marinette would have the patience to let the kwami get him words out. Longg is a kwami who likes to urge his humans to discover and let loose their hidden potential, and Marinette would be a human Longg would be excited for, seeing the inner strength that Marinette's easing out. She just needs help to fully let it loose and to thrive.

Snake works off Marinette's subtlety, creativity, her tendency to prefer to control the outcome of things, and her elusiveness and tendency to dabble in trickery/underhanded tactics. As hypnosis can be more than having full control over someone, it can be it's own unique illusion, her means of warping how people perceive reality through music, and can allow her to move about unseen. This power is meant to be used for means of full control (playing off Fire's tendency to overwhelm and seeking positions of command), so Marinette's not one to fully use the power as meant to, it'd be rare and saved for extremes where she must have full control over someone.

Sass is set up to be a kwami to work well off Marinette, being calm, wise, and flexible. He'd be similar to Plagg in being vague in his advise, preferring humans to figure things out and come to their own conclusions, though he would be manipulative like Trixx, good with his words to influence their thought process and actions. While benevolent, he can be morally gray, and does adjust his guidance depending on what sort of human he's dealing with. A human that's eager to control others he's going to advise against, though one reluctant to take control is someone he's going to sway to be more open to it, and Marinette would be one he'd bring up the perks of having full control over others (like hypnotizing Lila to make a fool of herself, or getting Chloe to actually be a good person). Sass would wind up Marinette's little shoulder devil, who can sound tempting and is reasonable in his suggestions, but also toes the line of what's morally right for Marinette.

Horse similar to Rabbit, Horse works off Marinette's mobility, evasiveness, eye for detail, awareness of her surroundings, and liking to hop around her opponents, keeping them on their toes while she maneuvers around them. This can work off her multitasking, making use of portals to hurry to where she needs to or grabbing what she needs. It's one of those powers where it's Marinette's dream boat. One of her favorite powers.

Kaalki would be an interesting pair with Marinette as she has a personality similar to Chloe, being an open elitist and the snobbiest of the kwamis. Chances are good the two do clash here and there, between Kaalki being picky about who Marinette lets into her herd, to Marinette's background or living situation not being up to her standards. On the more positives, Kaalki would acknowledge Marinette's strong potential for stardom, and do what she can to guide Marinette to the greatness they both deserve, Kaalki would also be pleased with Marinette's noble heart, integrity, and natural instincts as a hero. Biggest thing Kaalki would do is to try and help raise Marinette's standards and help achieve her full potential, even if it means butting heads in disagreements.

Goat expertly plays off Marinette's creativity and quick thinking, and her having high ambitious for herself to achieve. It is flexible in use and can allow her to be elusive and out of sight, make her plans, and make use of her essentially making physical illusions. They may not wind up as real as Fox's, but there are perks to the physicality of them that Marinette will use well.

Ziggy is eager and creative and friendly, so she'll work off Marinette very well, engage in her creative thinking and artistic skills. She can be brash and thoughtless though, which sensitive Marinette and take to heart, and has a tendency of (affectionately) ramming her head against her humans. Being more for independence and self-reliance, Ziggy doesn't fully understand Marinette's needs to be considerate and helpful to others, and sees it as needlessly busying herself. She'll support however she can if it really matters to Marinette, but will try to urge Marinette to focus more on herself.

Dog works off Marinette's thieving habit, but also her desire to provide and help. She would be very active as the Dog, using it help all who's lost or had lost items they want back, probably to the point she may over help. She would also be quick to use this power to help bring back anyone who passes very recently, and may frequent hospitals. Honestly, this power feeds a lot into her nature, and could turn these strengths into flaws and risk developing an Atlas complex. Side note, if this power is what Marinette used against HM, he'd probably be a broken man between Fetch and Marinette's eye for detail, getting that item within minutes of her joining the field.

Barkk is a kwami who knows how to toe the line between hard work and duty, but also times of play and fun. Barkk is a kwami who will adjust herself and what she advises depending on the human, so with Marinette, she's not going to discourage that strong sense of responsibility Marinette has, but will try to urge Marinette to take breaks, have fun, and let loose. Potentially it's a hard concept for Marinette to grasp (as her fun involves being productive and delving into her interests), so the mindless fun Barkk insists on may not click with her right away.

Pig is an interesting match up as the power to alter who someone is I don't see being up Marinette's moral alley. But I can see her using it as a means to give boosts to others to help get past what they're struggling with, having her act as a small Guardian Angel giving that little boost/push in the right direction. And even if temporary, the effects may stick and help someone grow past those issues. Juleka's struggling with confidence and not being heard? A slight adjustment to her color to make her more red, and she's a lot more confident and outspoken. She would also use it as a means to disrupt akumas, altering who someone is so what's upset them doesn't upset them as much, throwing off HM's game. And if she's petty or fed up enough, she may use it as the extremes on Chloe and Lila (get them to stop bullying/lying), though that can toe some dangerous territory. Pig can also work off Marinette's preference to be more a background user who doesn't have the primary attention on her, and allow her to be clever in how she uses this power, and will make it work to be the most beneficial to majority. Though I can see her toeing taking things too far or getting too involved.

Daizzi would immediately click with Marinette, finding her cute, loving that her color is pink, that she loves pink, and she's so clever and observant, what a promising Pig. He is very empathetic and always has a good sense on what to advise when dealing with emotional problems. Similar appeal to Plagg and Valrr, as bubbly and optimistic as Daizzi is, he is also incredibly lazy, and if given the chance, will spend his days napping and snacking, and would do what he can to help Marinette slow down, enjoy her time, and not work herself so hard.

Tag Game - OC Edition

Tagged by both @gaeasun and @jekyllnahyena , thank you kindly I am always looking for an excuse to plague people with my brain blorbos.

Favourite OC:

That would be my cantankerous clone medic, Sponge. It's a little ironic really because Sponge started off as a throwaway character with no real personality, but I have steadily worked on them to the point where they've become fairly beloved to me.

They're a multifaceted character with a lot of personal struggles and traumas to sort through, have a fairly unique story-line compared to my other clones, and on top of all that they wear a grouchy mask to cover up the fact they're scared most of the time.

Plus they have a very loyal and loving pet companion that helps them come out of their shell when they most need it.

Newest OC:

That would be Molly and Fanta (they're a package deal), who are actually Sponge's youngest daughter and one of Beau's puppies.

Molly is actually a product of me pondering about one very specific part of Sponge's story, and how it had impacted them their whole life. I figured that after tormenting them so much, I should give them the opportunity to have the one thing that had been stolen from them that they wanted more above all else.

The result is a human-clawdite hybrid girl and her pet barghest-charhound cross (who is a product of @lost-on-kamino's shenanigans actually). Molly is the best of both Sponge and Hugo, and honestly that is one of the biggest rewards I could ever give my grouch of a medic.

Oldest OC:

Uh...Well there is one character that I've actually been working on pulling into the SW fandom. Rogue knows him well.

Doctor Clyde Jr. Cormburskan has seen many iterations over the years, but he's always the same in essence: Fatherly, gluttonous, somewhat insane, a good friend.

Usually he's human but for the SW universe I think he'd fit a Ruurian better.

Meanest OC:

Conch, without a doubt.

He's a mean-spirited, petty, and rather shallow individual. Ever since Sponge was forcefully pulled out of scuba training and put into the medical program, Conch has made it his mission to bash his youngest batchmate for any given reason. This only got worse when Jelly left to join the 501st with them, and escalated into pure hostility when he died.

Arrogant, self-serving, and honestly uncaring of anyone but himself, Conch is an entitled and unusually cruel clone that has no trouble putting others down just to make himself feel better. He also misgenders Sponge a lot on purpose just to make them squirm in discomfort.

Softest OC:

Lys! He may be somewhat intimidating with all his sharp teeth, claws, horns, and sheer size, but honestly there is no softest person in the galaxy than Lyssandr Teklar.

It's this soft and gentle nature that actually got Olly to not only trust him fairly quickly, but that also got him to feel safe enough around Lys to be openly vulnerable rather than constantly on his guard.

Most Aloof/Stand-offish OC:

Oof, it's a tie between Bully, Kera and Harm. Each for different reasons too.

Bully was always a bit difficult in behavior because the Trainer he was taught by encouraged active competition and fighting between the cadets. And then having been under Krell's command made his already unstable temper much worse.

Kera felt like she had her future stolen from her because no Jedi Master picked her to be their padawan, which forced her to eventually become a part of the Jedi AgriCorps (a position she considered beneath her talents as a saber duelist). Order 66 turned out to be the big break she needed to actually have some control and power.

And Harm is an HK-Droid with a lot of blood on her hands and a lot more grudges she wishes she could act upon. Being in a band helps turn her violent urges and anger issues into something constructive, but there's no denying that she loves to pick fights for no particular reason other than she's in a bad mood.

Dumbest OC:

Look, I'll be honest Lich isn't really all that dumb. He can learn fairly quickly if the subject matter interests him or has any real value for him to absorb the information. He's just a bit of a himbo most days... A very clumsy trouble-magnet of a himbo...

He has done some PRETTY dumb things tho, like shove a fork into an electric socket out of curiosity of whether or not that was just a silly natborn myth. Not only did he blow a fuse, he also got projected 5 feet in the air and was in medbay for three days.

I suppose his dumbness is more of a lack of impulse control...

Smartest OC:

Zed Kwinde is a very intelligent man, you just don't see it very often because he likes being an insufferable bitch 24/7. Mae suffers no fools but she suffers a genius with a very twisted sense of humor.

Horniest OC:

Pretty Boy is a bit of a slut, but his brothers love him all the same.

OC I'd Bang:

These are my freaking kids and also pieces of myself, no thank you.

OC I'd be Besties with IRL:

Erin!!!

We'd spend hours talking about food and maybe she'd be able to teach me how to take it easy. I think we could all use an Erin in our lives honestly...

Yuletide 2023 Letter

Dear Yuletide author,

Thank you so much for writing for me! For anyone unfamiliar with a requested fandom, here there be spoilers - please do be warned. For anyone curious about my own writing, I’m over on AO3 under my usual handle.

General Preferences

Yes Please

Canon tone and setting, or a fitting interpretation thereof for a particular bobblehead murder house of 1920s glamour and modern memetic humor. A strong sense of optimism if said tone allows for it, earned as it might be through its share of angst. Drama stemming from the pressures of setting and conflicts of personal goals and life paths. Emphasis on the sweet within any bitterness. Competent characters trying to do better for themselves, futile as it might be at times. Sex if it fits and is comfortable to write, fade to black otherwise.

Hell No

Nonconsensual sex - coercion or rape. Graphic descriptions of illness, violence, or injuries. Non-canon character death. Non-canon abusive interpretations of characters. Lives effectively being ruined. Emphasis on bigotry - excessive slurs or a focus of the narrative rather than a natural influence on how characters are seen or required to live their lives. Stupidity, immaturity, and general facilitation of petty drama from characters thoughtful enough to damn well know better. Humiliation and embarrassment humor. Focus on non-canon pregnancy or parenthood.

The Breakfast Club

Claire Standish, Allison Reynolds

I’d just love to see more with either or both of these characters - especially more about who they are as people, and how the detention experience continued to shape their growth.

Some possible inspiration -

Post-movie mutual appreciation - anywhere from just happy to see each other around to having closer friendly and/or romantic relations.

The aftermath of their awkward hookups with Bender and Andy, whether any of that goes anywhere (short or long term) or remains a one-off reflex of rebellion and the weird bonding aspect of detention.

Flipping the script of Allison’s obligatory goth-to-prep makeover. Does any of that actually vibe with her to incorporate in her own way? Does she encourage Claire to try out a change of style?

Do not want -

Bender/Brian (as a couple - friendship is fine) or Vernon/any of the kids.

Strange Horticulture

I love the bleak yet cozy Edwardian setting and the fantastic catalog of plants created for the game. I’d especially love to see more of the actual horticulture and the townspeople, either canon or original - studying and researching plants, dealing with difficult ailments and people, perhaps even winning over some cynics and skeptics. The more fantastical aspects of the game’s plot can certainly be mentioned - I’d simply prefer a focus on the more everyday business that it leaves so much room to dig into.

Creative formatting (including images), sequences of short stories, and epistolary framing are all very much welcome.

The Sexy Brutale

Gold Skull, Lafcadio

These two represent a duality of torment and forgiveness that I’d love to see explored - either together, or separately if you prefer to focus on one or the other.

Some possible inspiration -

Lafcadio is both an idealized aspect of Lucas and an old friend of his. Was Gold Skull respectively inspired by someone Lucas knew, or is he all in his head?

What does Gold Skull actually do when you see him around the manor? Is he also working behind the scenes in his own way, or more so observing and introspecting? In the prior loops before you take control of Lafcadio, what sort of interaction might they have?

Conversations with each other, and/or Lucas - either in the background of Lucas’ self-torment, or after the ending of the game - helping him come to terms with the tragedy in their own ways.

Greyson Greyson, Redd Rockridge

I ship Greyson and Redd like FedEx, as my fandom presence will attest. If you’d rather write them as friends or colleagues or newly minted partners in shenanigans, that’s absolutely cool, too. My main request is for them to be happy and better off for each other’s influence - either alive in a world where the terrible, horrible, no good spoiler never befalls them, or as ghosts carrying on with the tomfoolery. I’m also cool with full on AU if you want to have fun with these archetypes in some other setting, including a crossover.

I love these boys’ professional competence and intellect - but I also love how their flailing about the theater throws much of that out the window for the sake of bleak humor - so it would be hilarious to see some scenario devolve into a comedy of errors because they’re too busy checking each other out and/or flirting.

Any and all other end game couples and friendships (as friends or romantic partners) are welcome, as are feel-good polyamorous implications or explorations.

Some possible inspiration -

Treasure hunts! How did they get involved with these in the first place? What else were they after - successfully or amusingly not - besides that damn egg?

They're said to be the life of the party. Let's see more masquerade fun times, please!

In a full on alternate universe, they’re both brought onto some heist or other scheme.

Hucow!AU Part 5 (FINALE!!!)

WOOHOO!! It’s finally Bruno’s turn, I saved best boy for last. All parts combined in gdocs are 29 pages total, this is def the longest thing i’ve written in over a decade!! I hope you enjoy, and look forward to whatever i decide to write next

thanks, and enjoy!

as always. credit goes to @dark-side-blog2 for the wonderful hucow! au

WARNINGS: not sfw, yandere, duncon, noncon, sleep fucking, force feeding, manipulation, dark themes, afab reader, she/her pronouns, all characters 18+!!

After taking care of Narancia and tucking him into bed, Bruno returned to your room once more. You slept like the dead, worn out from a long night. Bruno smiled proudly, you had been wonderful for them. Each bull, you had accepted their love, their passion, their essence and earned your place in the herd once again. It filled Bruno with such joy, knowing that you were the perfect mate for them, for all of them.

You were caring and kind for Narancia, playful and fun for Mista, calming and gentle for Fugo, accepting and attentive for Abbacchio. And for Bruno: you were everything. For so long, there had been a piece of the puzzle missing in his life. He had a family with no mother, no children.

Bruno had met you first in a very dark part of his life-his herd was beaten, driven from his home in fear, on the brink of death with no hope. And then, you had appeared, an angel hidden away in paradise, offering safety, shelter. Much more than that, even, with a little bit of convincing, and a lot of planning. He would have his family, his children, and you.

Bruno knew how to play the long game, how to strategize and manipulate, but he only did it for good reason. He had to, you were too prideful, too stubborn to realize how much you needed him. You were running a giant farm several acres large by yourself, no employees, relatives or neighbors to help. Bruno couldn’t have that,now could he? He and the other bulls took over the hard work and heavy lifting-eventually, after a lot of hemming and hawing from you. Bruno managed to talk you into it; it was beneficial for both of you, a way for the bulls to earn their keep and for you to get some help.

The bulls helped with Bruno’s plan as well, in their own ways. Mista put his cooking skills to use, making you healthy meals infused with lackweed (Mulgeo, a plant that encouraged your body to lactate) and pills that increased your sexual urges. He’d even been adding charcoal to your meals to cancel out your birth control; it wasn’t necessary, Bruno had gotten rid of your birth control months ago while you were asleep, but Bruno appreciated it nonetheless.

Narancia had gotten you to warm up to them very quickly, being as innocent and naive as he was, and Bruno was able to use him to display his parenting skills. Yes, Narancia was a grown bull, and mostly treated as such, but he was still the youngest, and hard not to spoil. Plus, the way you seemed to light up when Bruno would baby Narancia- it was clear your maternal instincts were awakening. Good! It was excellent practice for your own children.

Fugo was admittedly the most awkward around you, it wasn’t really his fault, though. He had the least experience out of the bulls with women, but Bruno could tell his true feelings about you. So, he encouraged Fugo to show his strengths to you; mainly his brain. There was an old tractor collecting rust that needed repairs, and you had lost several crops last season due to lack of irrigation. Fugo was able to repair them, thanks to researching some books and some help from you. Plus, it was one less job for you to do, and another reason for you to depend on them. Bruno knew Fugo was nervous, but Bruno was certain he’d be a good mate and husband. He would make their children very smart.

Abbacchio could be a little rough around the edges, it's true, but he clearly had a soft spot for you. While he would smack Mista and Narancia around when they got on his nerves or got ornery, you he respected and let a lot slide. Bruno had seen you tug on his tail (admittedly by accident) , elbow him (after a funny joke), and even put flowers (that he was allergic to!) in his hair! Abbacchio had taken it in stride, and even defended you when Mista’s teasing or the other shenanigans went too far. Plus, Abbacchio’s skills as a lockpick let them sneak into your house when you were away or sleeping. Very useful indeed…

Bruno knew he had to share you, as much as he wanted you for his own. He couldn’t hurt his herd, his brothers, who loved you almost as much as he did. So Bruno was patient, he let them have their turns first, keep the peace….

But Bruno couldn’t wait any longer.

The timing had to be perfect, to ensure he had the best chances. He had snuck into your home months before, stealing and disposing of your birth control, and destroying your refill prescription. Thankfully you were too busy and preoccupied to make a new appointment with the doctor for new medication, which Bruno appreciated greatly. Digging through your trash, he was able to record and determine your cycle, in order to find out when you would be most fertile. He would allow his herd many things,including you.

But his child would be first.

Letting the others go first- he allowed it before you were truly in heat. They didn’t know why, but were grateful nonetheless, eager to claim you.

He pulled back your blankets, after making sure you were deep in R.E.M. sleep. Birds started chirping as dawn rose outside, but you were dead to the world. So much, in fact, that when Bruno pulled back your bed sheets you didn’t so much as flinch. You were still nude, too tired to put your pajamas back on last night; Bruno admired the early morning light glowing on your body. Bruno kissed down your face and body everywhere the sun touched, relieved you were still asleep. Bruno made note of every bruise and marking on your skin to treat later that morning, as he went lower and lower down your body. Spreading your legs, you tasted divine. You were definitely ready, too: now would be his best chance.

Licking the others out of your core, he heard you quietly whimper- he paused, waiting for you to stir, but you eventually drifted back to sleep. You always were cute when you slept, the way you would sometimes talk in your sleep or kick your legs “Running.” Bruno had learned a lot observing you, and intended to learn a lot more from you today. He cleaned you out with his tongue and prepped you thoroughly-maybe it was petty of him, saving you all for himself, but Bruno was the alpha bull, and the perfect mate for you. That’s why it was so important to not just get you pregnant, but pregnant with his children. It’s what you, the both of you deserved.

Once Bruno was certain you were ready ( you were still soft and wet from last night, and pleasantly warm against his tongue and fingers) he leaned over you, pulling your legs up against his shoulders into a mating press. It terrified him how easily you slept, how dangerous it would be if his herd hadn’t found you. What if someone else had found you before them, taken you like this in your sleep? It worried him so, that’s why he had to do this, claim you and protect you from any rivals.

Bruno stroked your cheek, before pressing inside. Finally, after all this time, he was inside of you, warm and wonderful and all his. You squirmed in your sleep,but otherwise accepted him without complaint. Bruno was so happy he could cry, he settled for kissing your shoulder as he pushed into the hilt. Bruno couldn’t hold his urges back any longer, he thrust into you again and again, hitting against your sweet spot. You cried out in your sleep, jumbled noises Bruno convinced himself were his name. In this position, he was able to reach so deep, force himself as far inside as he could reach.

His grip on you tightened, feeling the strain of the position, the slap of his balls on your ass fueling his desire more. But it wasn’t enough, he had to make sure you felt good too. He suckled your chest, licking your nipples the way he had seen you enjoy. Your pussy was so wet he was able to rub slick onto your hard throbbing clit, careful to rub the raw skin gently.

“Y/n, I’m so thankful to have found you, finally we can make our dreams come true~” Bruno whispered to you, desperate for you to know the feelings he’d held back for so long.

“I can hardly hold back with you; I’ve been waiting so long for this, and I can tell now that so have you. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you, we all will. Just give in, you can trust me.” Bruno pleaded, close to the edge. Bruno grit his teeth, it was about to end, all too soon. Bruno wasn’t ready, he wanted to stay like this with you forever. Relief washed over Bruno as he heard you cry out in release, tightening around him and bringing him to release.

“I’m cumming, y/n. Please, accept all of me!” He gasped,spilling his seed inside. Tears Bruno had held back spilled down as his emotions overcame him, something he would only allow to happen while you couldn’t see. He was certain this was the right thing to do, now more than ever. You were his, all of theirs, safe and protected.

In the next months, you would become full with child. Naturally, you would have to stop manual labor-which would be fine, you could depend on your sturdy bulls to run the farm for you. And then when you had their children, you would need to raise them. Obviously, you had five capable mates to help you; taking turns feeding them, staying up on long sleepless nights, teaching them right from wrong. So many precious memories to be made with you, Bruno could

hardly wait.

As Bruno turned to leave you to rest, he saw you start to rise.

“...Bruno?” You called weakly, and Bruno was by your side in an instant.

“Y/n? What’s wrong, you’re up so early?” Bruno asked, concerned.

“...It’s hot” you groaned, reaching out for him. Bruno’s heart fluttered, you called out for him. He felt your forehead; admittedly sweaty, but not necessarily from illness.

“You are a little warm. Let’s get you out of these sweaty blankets and cleaned up.” Bruno helped you out of your sheets, and ran to get a damp washcloth. He returned quickly, sitting on your bed and wiped the cloth over your body. Your body flushed, and whenever you thought Bruno wasn’t looking, you would glance over at him. Bruno smiled to himself, you really were spoiling him this morning-he couldn’t be more delighted.

“Are you feeling any better? You should take it easy today, you had a long night.” Bruno said as he washed your stomach.

“Umm, yes, im-ahh!” You jumped, as Bruno’s wash cloth reached your nether regions.

“Relax, bella, It’s important to clean this area as well. We don’t want you getting sick now do we?” Bruno continued, unfazed by your reaction. You fidgeted a moment longer, but considering all that had happened, you relented. What more could Bruno do to you?

He toweled you off quickly, patting you dry and then headed to your closet.

“Let’s find you something extra comfortable to wear today, shall we?” Bruno asked, flipping through your hangers. What a shame, most of your outfits were utilitarian and industrial, not befitting a mother to be.

“Oh, Bruno, you don’t have to-” You began, but Bruno cut you off.

“Here we go, perfect! Ah, and this shade of lavender will look lovely on you!” Bruno proclaimed, holding up a flowery sundress made of soft cotton. Very comfortable, but not the best for farm work. Bruno couldn’t be stopped though, grabbing some undergarments for you (how did he know where you kept them?) and helped you sit up in bed.

“Let’s get you dressed, as much as I love the thought of having you nude all day, nothing will get done around the farm with the boys fawning over you.” Bruno chuckled, sliding socks onto your feet for you.

“Bruno, please! I can dress myself!” You pleaded, trying to pull away, but Bruno stopped you with gentle but firm hands.

“Bella, please-let me take care of you the way you’ve taken care of us. It’s only fair, isn’t it?” Bruno smiled, tugging your socks up to your ankles. He held a white pair of panties out for you, “Step in, dear, one foot at a time” You groaned, turning an adorable shade of red Bruno loved, but did indeed let him slide the panties up and onto you. He convinced you to skip a bra today (Bruno wasn’t completely selfless) and slip into the sundress, snug as a bug.

“Much better! Now, do you want to see if you can get some more sleep? You didn’t get many hours of sleep last night, and your body must be very sore.” He asked you, stroking your cheek. “Well, maybe later, but-” You began, only to be interrupted by your growling stomach. Bruno chuckled, “Ahh, of course, let’s get you fed shall we?” he winked, placing a hand on the small of your back and escorting you to the kitchen.

You tried to make yourself breakfast, really you did, but Bruno wasn’t giving you any leeway this morning.

“Please, Bambina, let me cook for you. You always make the rest of us meals, and I’m not completely hopeless in the kitchen.” He told you, sitting you on a kitchen chair, rolling up his sleeves. True to his word, he was decent in the kitchen-more than decent, in fact. Bruno fried up a pig’s worth of bacon, crispy and fried with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Eggs, sunny-side scrambled and over-easy, just a little bit runny and fresh from your henhouse. And the cru-de-ta, a mountain-pile of fluffy home batter pancakes, smothered in homemade syrup and creamy smooth butter dollops piled on top. Bruno piled your plate to the brim, sure to give you only the crunchiest bacon strips and roundest pancakes, with plenty left over for the boys. It was a miracle the other boys hadn’t woken up yet, but you supposed they were still wiped out from the night before and needed a little more rest.

Bruno didn’t mind one bit, enjoying the one on one time with you he rarely got. Sitting patiently for him like a good mate, letting him clean you, dress you, even feed you. Bruno was determined to spoil you, so you would never want for anything other than him again. Looking around your plate, you asked Bruno, “Sorry, but you forgot to grab a fork and knife. Would you mind?”

Bruno smiled, unblinkingly, “Oh no, I didn’t. Open wide~” He cooed, stacking a silver fork full of your breakfast. You looked at him incredulously, “Seriously?”

Bruno didn’t relent, smile unwavering, “You wouldn’t turn down all my hard work and this delicious food, would you?”

You wanted to argue with him, you really did. For every inch he gave you, he took a mile, and it was starting to be humiliating. But for whatever reason, Bruno always made you cave. Besides, after everything you’d been through, he’d never hurt you, always gentle and caring. So, against your better judgement, you sheepishly opened your mouth for him.

Bruno lifted the fork into your mouth, watching your lips close around his fork. You savored the buttery rich flavor of the pancakes, the spongy texture bouncing lightly in your mouth as you chewed. To say it was delicious would be an understatement; you were starting to consider letting Mista and Bruno handle mealtime more often. Bruno bit the corner of his lip, watching you eat your meal. You wanted to pout, not give Bruno the satisfaction of knowing you enjoyed being babied like this, but you couldn’t help smiling as you swallowed bite after bite, opening your mouth and even leaning forward. Each bite was better than the last; the salty sweet bacon grease and runny eggs soaked into the pancakes, soaking up the flavor medley and sending your palette into overdrive.

Bruno loved every minute, watching you let your guard down for him, licking up syrup from your chin, even letting him wipe your cheek clean with a napkin. Your stomach puffed out as you ate through your meal, it excited him to know he did that to you, and that your stomach would soon be even more distended and full with his baby. Your plate was nearly clean, but you didn’t think you could eat another bite. Bruno had given you so much already, and it was all delicious and rich, and had no more room.

“Please, Bruno, I’m full to the brim. I’m sorry but I can’t eat anymore.” You groaned, clutching your stomach.

“Oh please, just another bite, bambina~ you’ve done so well, you’re almost done.” He cooed, forking the last bits on your plate. You tried to excuse yourself, but Bruno stuffed it into your open unsuspecting mouth. You nearly choked on the utensil forcing your way into your mouth, a sugary syrupy mess that was starting to nauseate you. It was too much, too rich, but Bruno held your mouth shut.

“Please, y/n, you have to eat more. Think of our children, won’t you?” You froze, as you remembered everything that had happened last night with a wave. You looked at Bruno, mouth still full and ready to vomit. His gaze tore into you, more serious than he had been all morning. In fact, the last time he looked at you like that…

Bruno rubbed your back, as your eyes watered and spilled over. Poor thing, were you already having morning sickness? No worries, it was only natural; he would take care of you. You were having trouble breathing, not sure if it was the food or the panic setting in.

“Come on Bambina, you’re almost done. Just swallow it all down, you can do it~” Bruno hissed, as he plugged up your nose. Bruno sighed, watching your eyes bug out; he didn’t want to be harsh with you, but what other choice were you giving him? You needed to follow his orders, that’s how he kept you safe and happy. “Now, y/n”

Despite the lump in your throat, you had no choice but to swallow, the lack of oxygen making you gag. How could you forget who you were dealing with? How could you let him take advantage of you again and again? You wiped the snot and tears from your face, catching your breath. You flinched as a familiar hand reached out and grabbed your chin. Bruno turned you to look at him, his face calm and smiling as if nothing had happened.

“There, Bambina, that wasn’t so bad was it? You have to let me take care of you, okay? We don’t want you hurting yourself do we?” He asked, voice soft and patronizing, like he hadn’t just force fed you against your will. You wanted to run away, but didn’t know where to go. It didn’t help any as you heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

“Yo, y/n! You’re up already? I thought we wiped you out last night!”

“Guess we’ll have to try harder next time.”

“Are you okay, y/n? You look ill. Maybe you should go back to bed.”

“Ohh, it smells so good! Did you make breakfast for us, y/n?”

You were surrounded. No way out. Five strong angry bulls that had taken over your life, your home, even your body. You couldn’t trust them, not any of them. There was no escape.

“What’s wrong, bella? Are you crying?”

“Don’t cry, y/n! There’s nothing to worry about, we’ll take care of you!”

“You can count on us, y/n. We’re mates, after all.”

You were trapped.

Trapped.

You opened your mouth to scream, but it was no use.

It’s not like anyone would hear you, anyways

What would the warrior candidates (Udo, Zofia, Falco, Gabi and maybe Colt) feel about the cadets/ older warriors? Do they like anyone? Do they have anyone they hate?

listen, the warrior candidates are underrated. thank you

Warrior candidates + their relationship with the warriors

no warnings

gabi

reiner: she completely torments him. the poor sod is dragged around by her all day and he has to buy her mcdonalds at least once a week so she doesn’t go flying completely off the rails

bertholdt: listen I think they could’ve been the best of friends. they’d get along so well and I have no reason for this other than it’s wholesome and I’m a whore for happy aus. they’d probably gossip about reiner a lot

annie: gabi is lowkey kind of intimidated by annie so they don’t talk a lot but might bond over their love of studio ghibli films now and then

porco: hates him. can’t fucking stand him. he’s never even done anything to her but if he so much as looks in her direction she’s like >:(

pieck: they would go shopping together a lot I think and maybe go to see a movie but they don’t consider themselves good friends, just kinda pals

zeke: wants to fight him so badly but knows she’ll get fucked up because he’s like three times her size and it’d be like swatting a fly

falco

reiner: is kind of scared of him but respects him very much and occasionally offers his condolences since he has to deal with gabi all the time

bertholdt: falco would definitely hide behind him to stay out of someone’s line of sight but other than that they probably don’t talk much other than a passing conversation or greeting

annie: okay they’re actually good pals. they don’t mind hanging out and falco is a really great listener so if annie wants to ramble to him about anything he’ll listen and she really appreciates that

porco: okay well porco encourages falco to do petty crime like vandalism and falco is a pure child so he’s kind of intimidated by how carefree he is but they’re on good terms nonetheless

pieck: definitely one of his best friends apart from the other warriors and candidates, they see eye to eye on a lot of things and like having conversations. pieck offers falco a lot of dating advice

zeke: avoids him at all costs if possible

udo

reiner: FEAR. fear. he’s so scared of him and literally has no reason to be because reiner is just a big himbo but for some reason udo can’t help but be at least slightly intimidated at all times

bertholdt: on the complete other hand he and bertholdt are the best of friends and bertholdt will take him out to lunch or arcades or whatever. they like spending time together and bert is always assuring udo that reiner isn’t mean

annie: scared of her

porco: scared of him too

pieck: she makes him mildly unsettled when she crawls on all fours but considers her a friend because she’s just really kind in general and sometimes makes tea for him if he’s stressed

zeke: would rather dive into a bush than talk to him. he isn’t even scared of him he just thinks he’s an asshole

zofia

reiner: shares secrets with him about the other warrior candidates and reiner, in turn, might tell her a few secrets about the warriors like the time porco cried when he saw a stray cat

bertholdt: she hates how she has to crane her neck to meet his eyes so she always demands that he sits down before talking to him. he’s more intimidated by her than she is of him

annie: they’re really close friends and other than gabi, zofia considers annie her best friend. they talk a LOT of shit about the candidates and other warriors while hanging out and painting each other’s nails or something

porco: is moderately annoyed by him but puts up with his shit anyway. would probably call him a twink to his face without hesitation

pieck: they get along well but don’t talk very often. maybe if they’re going out to lunch with the other warriors they’ll strike up a conversation together

zeke: will stare him in the eyes and call him a bitch

colt

reiner: doesn’t know how to start a conversation with him so he’ll say some shit like “weather’s nice, huh?” and reiner just side-eyes him like “it’s raining. rain makes me feel like shit.”

bertholdt: they’re both lowkey nerds and will bond over things like books they read, films they watched, etc and might bitch to each other about other warriors and candidates and their shenanigans

annie: tries his best to bond with her but literally can’t find a single mutual interest between them so he doesn’t even try anymore. they get along though

porco: here’s the kicker: they’re exes but still get along really well and are best friends. they do a lot of dumb shit together and pretty much share a single brain cell

pieck: well the thing is, both of them have dated or are dating porco so that takes up a lot of their conversation topics. when they aren’t gossiping they’re hanging out because they’re really close regardless and pieck taught him various things like how to draw and sew

zeke: tries to act tough around him and like he knows what he’s talking about when, in fact, he hasn’t got a damn clue and always ends up embarrassing himself

We're Worlds Apart (5)

Draco Malfoy x American No-Maj!reader

series m.list | general m.list | previous chp

warnings: cursing, mom being a dick :/, accidental peeping eyes, jealous draco

summary: Draco Malfoy is a pureblood wizard. Magic runs through his veins and has been since his birth. You're a Wiccan No-Maj; a non-magical being with ordinary blood through your veins, but practices what you call magick. And this very practice upsets your neighbor.

a/n: omg, i had to rewrite this WHOLE THING again. but now i know to write things in my google docs first

(gif cred)

Everyone at the table was silent. Your mother sat processing what had just occurred moments ago. I practice, too. You always wondered why your brother never talked too much about her whenever you were on long phone calls with him. He was pretty vague about Stephanie, and now you knew why.

Actually, it made complete sense as to why he didn't tell your mom about Stephanie being a practicing witch, but you? That was what really confused you.

“So,” you decided to break the silence, “how long have you practiced?”

Stephanie had an excited glimmer in her eyes when you asked. “I'm still a baby, I started earlier this year.” Something about her aura was soothing and pure. You scooted your chair closer to her and continued your conversation. “So you’re a Wiccan? Or do you practice something else?”

“I practice Gardnerian Wicca,” she declared. From the corner of your eyes, you could see your mother holding back a scoff. Surely she was thinking Why the hell is she encouraging this?

The ding of the oven sounded like church bells to her as it gave her an excuse to leave the room and focus on anything else. The situation was quite hysterical. But questions were in order. As Stephanie left to use your bathroom, you pulled your brother aside. “Dude, why the hell didn’t you tell me anything?”

He flinched away from your hand and started massaging the pain away from your grip, “I didn’t think it was my business to tell.”

“But you told her about me?” You asked with crossed arms. Your brother’s logic was lacking. “It… might’ve slipped, but I only told her after she told me that she’s a witch. I don’t go around campus saying ‘Hey, I’m Y/B/N Y/L/N. I’m a communications major and y’know what? My sister’s a witch.’” You weren’t upset that he told his girlfriend about you. You weren’t ashamed at all. And you weren’t really upset that he didn’t talk to you about her. Because, in a sense, he’s right.

But you like being dramatic, so you figured that while you've got your brother in your house you’d act like a petty sister. “Whatever, man. But you could’ve told Mom beforehand,” you scolded with your arms crossed. He had a scoff in his laugh, “Tell Mom? We’re thinking of the same person, right? You know she would freak.”

“She’s freaking out right now! I’d have rather her freak out earlier before she made my house look like some stupid picture in a Martha Stewart kitchen advertisement,” you whisper yelled. To think that your house could have looked as it normally did annoyed you. Grandma’s tapestry you whined internally.

Stephanie found you two in your hallway and froze in an awkward stance, “Is everything okay?” You and your brother put on your best smiles. “Yeah, just wanted to see how my baby bro is doing,” you reached up to pinch his cheeks to which he swatted you hand away. It started a playful fight that made your guest laugh in amusement. The sound of your mother announcing that dinner was ready brought the little fight to a halt. “I’ll beat your ass later,” you challenged him, fingers doing an ‘I’ve got my eyes on you’ movement.

—

He couldn't believe it.

Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini stood at his doorstep with their bags. Theo had his wand pointed out with confetti spurting out the tip. “Surprise!” he yelled.

Draco pulled them in quickly and nearly sprained his neck as he looked around to make sure no one saw his friend. “What part of 'muggle neighbors’ did you not understand” he scolded.

“Oh shit, sorry mate. I forgot.” Theo scratched the back of his head. He then glared at Blaise knowing that with his brilliant memory, he let Theo make a big mess of things. Theoretically and literally. An enchanted broom swept up the confetti on the floor.

“What are you guys doing here, I wasn’t expecting you two for another week?” Draco asked as he pulled each wizard in for a welcoming hug.

“Merlin, mate. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you’re disappointed to see us,” Blaise teased.

“That's not what I meant and you know that. I’m happy… just surprised.” The blond wasn't isn't used to showing this kind of side to himself. “What brings you two here early?”

“Have you ever known Theo to be patient for anything? Bloody git nearly dragged me out in the middle of work,” Blaise expressed. The Slytherin trio laughed as the two friends followed Draco through his new home. “Well, here’s the guest room. Set your things down and I’ll grab some drinks.”

For the first time since getting his phone and learning about take-out, Draco had ordered a couple pizzas to be delivered. Blaise and Theo were genuinely impressed by the whole thing. “Muggles sure do think of everything,” Theo observed.

“Almost shocked that Malfoy here adapted pretty well to them,” Blaise had a smirk on his lips before stuffing his mouth with his first ever slice. “Salazar, this is amazing.” Draco raised his eyebrows in agreement. The three men sat in the living room eating and caught up with each other.

The night was filled with laughter and tipsy hiccups. It was arguably Draco’s best night since he first moved to America. He hadn’t realized how much he missed their shenanigans since Hogwarts before it all went to shit thanks to a certain Dark Lord. He was ecstatic and couldn’t wait for them to meet his new friends.

In the middle of their laughter, Theo was seen squinting his eyes in a direction, “Oi mate, who’s that?” The two others followed his eyes which looked out a window. Sort of blurry due to the alcohol, Draco leaned forward to focus on what it was Theo was talking about.

When his vision cleared, he saw some heads moving around. And… arms flinging about? The sight was strange to say the least. Draco didn't exactly know what was going on, he watched as you stood in your living room in front of who he recognized as your mother. Sitting on your couch was some woman, and in between you and your mother was some guy.

“Is that the muggle neighbor you told me about?” Blaise observed.

“Yeah, and her mum. Don’t know the others, though.” Draco stated. He shrugged his shoulders and sat in a comfortable position. Blaise continued to look at the weird scene next door. The only pieces he could put together was that you definitely weren’t happy and neither was your mother. “She’s kinda fit, don’t you think?”

“No,” Draco didn’t hesitate to answer. His irritated voice was indication enough to not press on the matter more. And seeing as it was their first night in America, Blaise didn’t want to risk getting hexed before bed.

Draco looked at the clock on the wall which read 10:57 pm. “Shit,” he whispered. “I’m turning in. I have a meeting in the morning.” Theo was already passed out on the soft couch and Blaise walked himself to the guest room to claim the bigger bed. Once in his room, Draco chugged a bottle of water that was on his nightstand and went to sleep.

—

She finally went home. After the huge fight that broke out after dinner, your mother grabbed her things and left. Poor Stephanie had witnessed the mess and regretted coming. As much as she was glad to finally meet a fellow practicing witch, she underestimated your mother entirely.

It actually surprised you that your mother acted in such ways. Growing up, your mom never really made too much of a fuss of your Craft. But just out of nowhere, she’s making comments of this and making complaints of that. You wanted to forget Thanksgiving night all together.

Currently, you were pacing in your kitchen debating on whether or not to call Stephanie and make sure she was alright. She was nothing but sweet and kind. Didn't deserve to come home with your brother and have some woman blow up. Your mother hit some random nerve in the middle of your conversation that you carried on about what Steph’s practice consisted of and yelled about her whole family getting full of ‘damn weirdos’.

The best thing to come out of it was that you were able to bring back all your original decorations and stored all the stuff your mother bought in the garage.

Thinking about it started to give you a migraine. You walked to your bathroom and started to fill the tub with the hottest water you could take. As it filled, you went to the comfort of your room and undressed. You opted out on bath salts and oils; just the warmth of the water would be enough to settle your nerves.

Before you could remove your bra, you felt a weird shiver up your spine. Something in the air made you feel tense. You wanted to assume that it was negative energy that your mother left behind, but it felt different than that. No, you felt a presence in your home. Or worse, from somewhere else.

You turned around and widened your eyes in horror. A man that you didn’t know nor have ever seen before looks at you from the window of your neighbor, Draco’s room. As soon as it processed to him that you were looking back, he quickly shut the curtains again. At that moment, you wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out. You were so caught up in your thoughts that you forgot to shut your blinds.

You sat in your bathtub still shocked that a complete stranger almost saw you naked. Had you even gone further a couple seconds or ignored your instincts, he could have seen everything. You dunk your head into the water and scream under it. This day can’t get worse you thought.

But oh, how it can. You performed your house cleansing spell and as soon as you set the censor dish down, the doorbell rang. You opened the door and was face to face with the same man who saw you. “Hello,’ he said. You recognized the accent, how it sounded like Draco’s.

Shyly, you nodded your head and said a soft ‘hi’.

“Listen, I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for… for what happened,” presumably Draco’s friend apologized.You stood there a bit shocked and flustered. “I swear I’m not a bloody pervert. Mate doesn't have any light in his room so I’d thought I’d do him a favor. Guess that didn't turn out so well,” he sheepishly chuckled. It made you laugh as well. It was decided that it was just an honest mistake.

“It’s okay. I should’ve closed my curtains so I guess it goes both ways,” a blush was spread across your cheeks. The more you looked at him, the more you studied his gorgeous features. “I’m Y/N. You must be Draco’s friend,” you extended your hand out for him to shake. He took it in his and you nearly melted into his smooth skin.

“Yes, I am. I’m Blaise.”

—

Draco returned home with a pounding headache and stiff neck. He had never felt more tired than he did in this moment. He saw Theo sitting on his couch reading the Daily Prophet with one hand and holding a cup of tea in the other. It was funny to Draco because he explicitly remembers Theo promising that he would never become his father who did this exact thing.

Looking around his surroundings, he noticed how his other best friend wasn’t around. “Where’s Zabini?”

“I think he went out for a walk,” Theo guessed. “Think he’s been gone for about an hour now that I think about it.” He put his paper down and mirrored the look of curiosity that was also on Draco’s face. Seconds later, the devil himself walked into Draco’s home. The look on his face was the same he had back in Hogwarts. A look Draco and Theo knew all too well.

“How? Actually no, scratch that. Who?” Theo pressed on instantly. Draco was also interested as to how Blaise somehow seduced a woman a day into his vacation in the foreign country. “You gits really want to know who?” They both nodded. He stood hesitantly but kept the smirk on his face, “Your muggle neighbor, Y/N.”

Theo stood up and gave Blaise a high-five, “You still got the magic touch I see.”

“Please never say that again,” Blaise sighed. He went on to explain everything that just happened, how he accidentally saw you, how he went over and how you invited him in for coffee and talked for about an hour. Well, mainly flirted. Then he talked about how he acted coy and wanted to know whatever was nice in town and when you told him about a French restaurant uptown, he used it as a way to ask you on a date.

Blaise was explaining everything, but it all sounded quiet to Draco. He couldn’t hear a word out of his friends mouth after he said your name.

“Mate, you alright? You look pale,” Blaise looked concerned.

Draco snapped out of it and lied through his teeth, “I’m fine. Just tired and slightly hungover is all.” Lie? Why would I be lying about this? Wait… why am I lying about this?

“Oh, well I can make the thing my mum makes for hangovers if you’d like,” Theo offered.

“No, it’s fine. I’ll just get some rest.” Draco walked to his bedroom and removed the necktie around his collar. As he walked in, he saw how his curtain wasn’t fully closed. He opened it slightly and as he looked across, he saw you sitting in a chair in your bedroom. You seemed to have been in a haze before you looked up and met your eyes with his. You waved gently and Draco, as he always does now, nodded his head and closed the curtains.

This can’t be real.

is there romance in atdao or is it all just found famiy vibes? if there is romance im real curious about how peeps would express those kinda feelings

hello hi hello this took me AGES I’m very sorry I kept getting distracted by things such as being asleep

anyway yes thank you for the question! romance? yes, we’ve got some of this going on, sure, though I would count the romance as within the found family c:

I don’t know if you wanted a Ramble™ but this is a topic I can ramble about and I’m in a bit of a rambling mood so you can have a ramble, free of charge, just take it up to the register and have them enter the code “logan this is not what I ordered”

but yeah, your question? about eight vaguely relevant tangents immediately spring to mind! also spoilers?? spoilers after the cut

I really should have formatted this response in a way that puts the super spoiler heavy part at the end but since when have I ever ever in my life made things easy for my dear sweet followers

y’all know what I’m like with spoilers by now

but yeah, to set the scene, there’s two main romantic......................... situations going on in the story, the first being between Noa and Alice, and the second being between Kai, Tris and Shara. so, the former I would describe as “a legitimate romantic subplot” and the latter I would describe as a character tripping and falling into it by sheer chance and just being like “oh whoops well I guess this is what I’m doing now” which is also extremely valid

Noa and Alice end up not being, like, Confirmed Endgame by the end of the story even though much of the plot looks like it’s heading in that direction, and like...... yeah, in my head, they do end up in a romantic relationship at some point post-story, but I’m not sure on what sort of timeline

during the story itself, it’s established that they do share mutual feelings for each other and this is likely heading towards a romantic relationship, but I think since much of the story sees Noa still trying to find her feet in just, like....... having friends at all, and trusting those friends, and knowing who she is in relation to others on any sort of level, I think near the end of the story she decides that she’s not at a place where she wants to try and figure out a romantic relationship just yet

it’s not a hard no, it’s just a “hey not right now” and a “let’s see what happens later down the track, for now it’s just nice to be around friends” ‘cause even that is just super new territory for her

which I worry will make people feel cheated, but also, I think it’s the ending for this subplot that would make the most sense for where the characters are at and would be the most fitting c:

and secondly there’s like

hm. ok

well, there WAS a vaguely jokey post I made yonks back where I pitched the idea of an ATDAO polyamory ending being just like. Alice who’s dating Noa who’s dating Shara who’s dating Kai who’s dating Tris. and I stand by this being solid as hell. but also, given the ending to Noa’s subplot with Alice, it doesn’t really work in the story canon, n though I think Noa and Shara is a dynamic I really enjoy, it would likely not actually play out in reality :P

which leaves the trio of Shara, Kai and Tris, a trio I’ve always vibed with and had vaguely on my radar as a valid poly ending but for some reason didn’t twig that I could just, like, make it canon and no one can stop me LMAO

but yeah, this one, like I said, it’s not so much aHD whole big subplot, it’s just something that falls into place super casually and is never really brought up beyond “oh is this a thing that’s happening?” “yeah” “cool ok”

I think there’s a brief window as a reader where you might be like “ugh this is gonna be a stupid love triangle or some weird jealousy thing” but then it just ends up being a complete non-issue. there’s basically zero romantic drama for this plotline, Tris and Shara are bros and Kai is dating both of them

n as for your question itself, it depends on whether you mean, like.......... how they would go about expressing to someone else that they have romantic feelings or, like, how they express their affections in a romantic scenario

‘cause for the former, the answer for both Tris and Noa is just.... they don’t

Noa because at the start of the story she views her crush on Alice as a huge fucking inconvenience that’s going to make things messy and complicated, so she just tries to ignore her romantic feelings as hard as she can (obviously this doesn’t last hahaha). but yeah, she’s just very pissed off that she has a crush and doesn’t want to acknowledge it :P she also has no idea how to respond when Alice expresses romantic interest in her, this is all extremely new territory

and Tris because he doesn’t realise he’s even experiencing romantic feelings in the first place?? like. the boy has so much baseline anxiety jitteriness that stuff like, idk, feeling your heart pick up pace, butterflies in the stomach, any kinda social nerves you get around the people you like, etc, he experiences this with Kai and is automatically just like “great now you’re here and I’m having a panic attack can you please leave”

just slaps a label of Bad Vibes onto it then later is like Wait A Minute

but yeah, I think neither of them would be super comfy actually expressing their feelings out loud or making that first move, Noa because she’s super fuckin petty and stubborn and Tris because he’s waaaaaaaay too fuckin socially anxious for that shit are you kidding

in terms of how they express their affections though??

so like. I have to reiterate that I’m aro and ace and I have a lot of difficulty in articulating what makes a romance A Romance, like??? I have relationships that are friendships and relationships that are romantic, but I myself don’t really experience romantic attraction in the way other people do

as such, the way I write characters in their romantic expressions tends to be just an extension of how they act in their friendships? which I think is a pretty ok thing to base a romance off anyway, but like, yeah, romance, this is a mystery to me for the most part, do I look like I know what a romance is

anyway I think once Alice and Noa get a little closer there’s a lot of good-natured ribbing and friendly insults, n since they already had a bit of a rivalry going on beforehand I would imagine this competitive streak doesn’t disappear :P Noa is generally uncomfy with being Openly affectionate and soft with others, so I think there would be a lot of more “indirect” ways she shows this care. I think they have the kind of relationship where from an outside perspective you don’t really get how it’s warm and affectionate, but it’s just ‘cause you don’t know the lingo, right

Tris is just the cheerleader type in all friendly relationships I think, lots of encouragement and hype and compliments and enthusiasm, he’s very excitable and very easily impressed hahahaha. though I think it takes people a while to click that he’s legitimately being 100% earnest and genuine, the constant deadpan does not work super well in his favour

anyway I’m gonna hop back up for a sec so I can cover Shara and Kai real quick

these two are............ a bit more direct with actually verbalising their feelings to people? Shara is a socially anxious type, but also not someone who enjoys beating around the bush, n she generally likes to just speak what’s on her mind and be direct with others whenever she can. Kai just kinda........ I mean, I don’t think they consider romantic affections to be a super big deal? at least in theory? I say in theory ‘cause, like, I think they give the impression that this kind of conversation is just super smooth and easy for them, and on the inside they’re like “it’s really not a big deal it’s just feelings it’s whatever” but they’re still anxious about it and had to hype themself up for like a week before going through with it lmao

but ye, in terms of how they express their affections, they’re both fairly similar. you suddenly will just Not Be Able To Get Rid Of Them, they’ll constantly be hanging around in the same space or dragging you into whatever shenanigans they’ve got going on, I think for both of them their favourite expression of love is just sharing in experiences or sharing the same space, just Being Involved And Around

a “hey come help me run errands” type or a “I’m gonna hang off the back of your sofa while you’re studying and sometimes slingshot balls of paper at you with a rubber band” type :P

and now I have to go on Another Tangent just ‘cause the subject matter is vaguely relevant and idk where else I’m gonna go on this tangent

there is definitely some part of me that’s still super super fond of the idea of Kai being aro??? and I initially did write them as such, but for the moment this is not something that’s remained canon in text ‘cause I’m a little bitch ‘cause like

Kai would be aro in very much the same way I am, which is to say, they’re a person who is extremely full of love and who has difficulty in differentiating what the step is supposed to be between friendship feelings and romantic feelings, so, someone who may not necessarily “get” what makes a romance a romance or experience any feelings different from a strong friendship, but who is still open to being in a romantic relationship

(the difference between us being that Kai Really Really Likes People and enjoys being close with others as much as possible, where I’m more the awkward standoffish hermit type lmao)

but yeah, I was kinda like. well. despite being a perfectly valid aro person in a romantic relationship myself, if I were a fictional character people would probably call me bad rep HAHAHA. like “yeah they’re apparently aro but they don’t really ACT aro and the author put them in a romantic relationship ://”

and while I think there’s value to be had in fiction in exploring the different ways a person can be aro, I just, like................... thought about the hypothetical future discourse and was just like UGH. I cannot be fucking BOTHERED

I get enough people in real life being like “ok but you’re not REALLY aro like why do you even bother having that label it’s not like it matters in your context” even though I’m the goddamn expert on my own experiences you bastards

lmao

but yeah I think aro Kai is canon in my heart hahahaha. and they may end up articulating some of the same feelings, maybe just not with the label applied, who knows

anyway that’s my rambles done I think! thanks for reading n have a nice night c:

#Anonymous #i started to ramble then i was like #oh man i better keep this short actually and try and get through this quick and then by the end of it i was #back to rambling #it's fine #i would go into more detail abt the relationships themselves but i think. this reply is super lengthy as is :')#i think i have been on some rambles abt shara and kai in the past?? but idk if i could find those to link them lmao #atdao #there's an only tangentially relevant ramble about being aro right at the end #cuz its like. im aro and i feel this in my heart but also #*gestures vaguely*#anyway g'night team

2, 4, 19, 39 for that pairing ask thing, for revan/alek/bastila of course

2) how’s their team work? do they share well?

so this Really depends on what era/verse of the gang but in 90% of them Alek and Bastila have this Silent Petty Rivalry going on for ages while Revan is utterly oblivious because holy shit Two Whole People. Revan is not smart. given that i write them as a V (haaard headcanon Bastila as a lesbian), Alek and Bastila utterly refuse to admit they’re friends for ages - oh my god the rivalry in the hp au is especially hilarious - but they Band Together the moment anyone threatens Revan. there are petty contests over who gets to get the closest seat next to Revan and many other things, it’s objectively hilarious, especially since they’re all completely awful at communication.

they do eventually get their shit together though and end up a good, solid team. there are a lot of things Revan shares with Alek that Bastila just can’t in the end understand, especially related to the war in my canon verse (i could give you a whole other set of paragraphs about them in the hp au ask me on discord if you really want that ramble), but post Star Forge there’s also a lot that Revan can only really talk to Bastila about - re the Council, the mind wipe, and Bastila understands the fall and return a lot better given that Revan post-Reveal went a little off the deep end into the Dark Side before realizing that oh, she doesn’t actually Want That. so they manage to find their footing and a good dynamic because Alek and Bastila both love Revan a lot and so are able to put aside their differences for her. (although there’s a whole lot to work through immediately post-SF re Bastila’s whole. imprisonment. which is a bit of a mess. but that’s another subject i’m rambling OOPS)

4. first impression of each other? was it love at first sight?

Revan and Alek met in the creche when Revan was five and Alek six. they Instantly Bonded. Alek’s realization of oh shit i’m in love happened the night they were knighted - Revan was nineteen and Alek twenty, and look he knew he’d had feelings but he’d been trying to avoid them, but then they went out and stole a speeder together and took it for a joyride and Revan was laughing into the wind and oh. oh no. then he spent four YEARS suffering in silence because she was too stupid and oblivious to pick up on it or realize her Own feelings until midway through the first war.

meanwhile, Revan’s first impression of Bastila was her fighting Brejik after the swoop race. Revan watched her and went oh no and Carth, who had previously been rebuffed because “i don’t do romance”, went “yeah i think i’m just not your type”. he was very right.

Bastila on the other hand has had a sort of hero worship crush on Revan since midway through the Mandalorian Wars, when she would hide bootleg holos of Revan’s fights under her mattress and even though she had no idea what Revan actually looked like it was a Whole Thing. meeting Revan as Shala did not help this crush in the slightest.

19) what do they fight about? what are their arguments like? how do they make up?

Actual Arguments are pretty rare; most of the times their fights are about incredibly small, stupid, petty things and they’re just bickering. all three of them bicker with each other as a form of affection. the Real Actual arguments tend to come over things like Revan deciding to abandon a planet to save Alek’s life during the war (because oh Yeah does that come out at some point post-amnesia) or about Revan’s sacrifices in general or about Revan running off to do something incredibly stupid alone because clearly that’s her best plan.

Revan and Alek get extremely sharp and cutting with each other if it’s bad, or they just get snappy in general because Revan is Determined and Alek is equally determined because he’s worried, damn it, Revan, and then Revan storms off and there are shields for like. a few hours. HOURS max. they’re too codependent to be apart longer than that especially with the bond. post SF it’s a bit different but i haven’t quite worked out all the details of their relationship there yet. they generally make up with a lot of silent apology and promises of affection across the bond and a lot of cuddling. Alek is almost always the one who gives in first.

Revan and Bastila’s arguments are a lot more explosive because Bastila also has a temper, they are vaguely less codependent, they tend to say things they’ll regret later and then Revan will go complain to Alek about it and he’ll get very annoyed. (on the Hawk it’s Jolee who plays relationship counselor. he is so tired. s o t i r e d) eventually Revan finds a way to apologize without actually apologizing and generally attempts to like, do something thoughtful or bring Bastila something nice to help. Bastila, who is less ridiculously proud, can actually say the words “i’m sorry” without having an allergic reaction.

Alek and Bastila.... well. they can go for days on end without speaking to each other, while remaining perfectly unified on Revan’s Behalf. is this a healthy dynamic? perhaps not. but when has this triad ever been healthy.

39) who initiated the relationship? who kissed who first? when did they realize they were in love?

oh my god you’re hitting me with ALL the juicy questions today. SO.

i’ve already written a little of this and in the answers above, Alek realized he was in love with Revan on Coruscant when they were both knights, but he and Revan have a Force bond so clearly she Knew and thus if she Felt The Same she’d do something about it, and she never did, so clearly his feelings weren’t reciprocated, so it’s F i n e, clearly, he suffers in silence until a year into the war - i have written this scene! - at which point Revan kisses him while they’re back on Coruscant for her promotion to Supreme Commander. she’s going to figure out that she’s in love with him (as opposed to just loving him) either after Fett injures him on Lantillies or during the whole. Clefar shenanigans, i don’t know the specifics, i haven’t written it yet and i didn’t think they’d get together this early in the war so there’s that. they don’t actually Talk about being in a relationship like, at all, ever, they just don’t talk about this Thing between them, because there’s the war and then there’s Vitiate and then there’s the Sith and then there’s another war and then-

they do end up talking about it post-SF at Bastila’s encouragement because Revan finally gets most of her memories back and is Clearly Moping and Alek is Also Moping. god i’m going to have to write that aren’t i.

with Revan (should i say Shala?) and Bastila, hmm. i’m honestly not so sure on this one in my canon verse? it’ll make itself more clear as i write that fic, but i know that Shala has a hell of a lot of realizations post-Leviathan and i feel like this is one of them. i really want to say their first kiss is in the fucking, submarine thing on Manaan on the way back post-Star Map, because that was a Hellish experience, and then they do things Bastila regrets (except she doesn’t except she does except-) on the Hawk after, and then ofc the Leviathan happens. Bastila definitely kisses Revan first and i think she might realize she’s a little in love on Kashyyyk when Revan does the whole free the Wookiees thing? hmmm i’m going to have to poke at that more.

anyway they have this whole scene at the temple of the ancients which is one of the few things from the kotor fic i have visualized in my head because it’s the moment Revan decides she’s going to choose the Light over the Dark and it’s massively important character-wise and i’m actually super super excited to finally get there so i can write it. post-SF they’re actually dating because they finally have a Sort Of Talk about it.

oh my god this got so long but i’m Not Sorry and i have approximately 30k more words to say on the subject especially related to the HP AU but i will shut up now lol. thank you for the questions!

So I’m doing this 100% for fun but like

Remember I mentioned a dream I had after reading to many of those salty “AU where Marinette’s sort of adopted and her bio parent(s) is rich/famous/powerful” of an mlp crossover where Mari’s bio moms are Twilight and Rarity from mlp? Yeah let’s expand on that a little!

Also, while this is kinda salty and has salty origins, this ends up being pretty sugary because that’s the nature of mlp stuff.

So like there’s some interdimensional fuckery.

A little over 10 years prior to Canon the Equestria and the ML world kinda connected.

Twilight Sparkle, as Princess of Friendship, was sent as an ambassador to the new dimension.

Of course Earth sent someone to Equestria but whatever they’re not important.

Also involved is Twilights wife, Rarity, and lil baby Marinette pony.

Side note: while in Equestria they’re ponies, but interdimensional travel turns them Human in the ML world. Kinda like EQG but they have normal human skin tones.

Anyway! Mari is a lil pink Unicorn, but in the Human world she looks Human. She ends up wearing a lot of pink clothes because she misses her pony coat.

Because of several things, like wanting Mari to have a normal childhood and also some political stuff that her moms want to protect her from, she ends up being taken care of by Tom and Sabine.

I’m gonna say that Twi and Rares met Tom and Sabine through Pinkie, who has a habit of getting low-key adopted by bakers, and had met them through wanting to learn about Earth cuisine (and T&S wanted to learn Equestria cuisine, so it was a win-win).

When Twi and Rares are thinking about this plan, T&S are trying for a kid and haven’t had much luck.

Mari lives with Tom and Sabine for the day-to-day, but Twilight and Rarity visit as often as they can, spending plenty of weekends with their daughter, even if it’s low-key to keep her safe.

As far as Mari is concerned, she has four parents. Twilight=Mom, Rarity=Mommy, Sabine=Maman, and Tom=Papa.

Other than visits with her moms and trips to Equestria, there’s only a couple differences to Mari’s childhood.

First is that she gets visits from other mlp characters too. They don’t cause too many issues because

1.) they know how to not blow her cover and

2.) the ones who would do it accidentally can be reined in.

By that I mean that if Discord starts to act up Mari just says “I’ll tell Auntie Fluttershy” and he nopes the fuck out.

Mari’s classmates think she just has a lot of aunts and uncles with weird names and haircolors, not connecting them to the Pony stuff.

The other thing is that Marinette is a little more confident and somehow even more forgiving. Like, this is shown best in her interaction with Chloé.

Marinette stands up to Chloé from day 1 and doesn’t take her shit. She protects others and shuts down any of her petty schemes. Etc.

But she also doesn’t write Chloé off entirely. Marinette constantly offers her friendship, because she’s grown up with stories about her various aunts and uncles who were like Chloé or far worse, and that they eventually reformed. When she sees Chloé try to change, Marinette welcomes her with open arms and works with her to help her be a better person.

Anyway one more thing for Mari’s childhood before Ladybug: her Cutie Mark!

Marinette’s special talent is her eye for detail. Mostly she uses this to be a designer just like mommy(Rares is so proud!!), but it helps her be an expert at planning and organizing like her mom(Twi is also very proud!!).

Her actual Cutie Mark is an image of a Ladybug threading a needle.

Onto the Canon Timeline!!

Okay! So! Origins happens and Marinette gets the Ladybug Miraculous.

Mari is paranoid that it was given to her because someone found out about her being a Unicorn Princess. So she interrogated the hell out of Tikki.

Tikki’s like “okay I didn’t know that. I knew you had powerful Magic and that explains it but no. You were chosen for general compatibility with it!”

Ladybug’s secret identity lasts until Twi and Rares visit because they’re like “honey why are your earrings a powerful magic artifact???”

“Our little girl is all grown up and using Magic jewelry to save the world! Just like her moms!!”

So the whole family knows. Tikki does say that it breaks the rules, but there’s not much that can be done because of the circumstances.

Mari’s parents all kinda debate on whether or not she should try and figure out Chat Noir’s identity.

Twilight and Sabine argue that they would feel better if they knew who the boy was so that they could trust him. Twi’s reasoning is more “while you trust him now, your teamwork will grow stronger as you learn more about each other!” while Sabine’s is more “I want to make sure he’s not some creep/entitled dudebro.”

Rarity and Tom are okay with the mystery. Tom because obviously whoever chose Chat Noir to be a hero saw the same things in him that they saw in Marinette when making her Ladybug, so of course he must be a good guy. Rares just loves the drama of the whole thing! Secret identities! Romance! Etc.

Tikki is the deciding vote on that, saying it’s supposed to be secret.

That also doesn’t last long. Because Mari tells Rares about the crush on Adrien. And naturally Rares has to meet the boy! And they notice his ring and yeah…

She tries to keep the secret but as much as she loves the drama, the fact that her daughter is actually sad thinking Adrien isn’t interested in her when he absolutely is just breaks her heart.

Whoops the lovesquare is solved real early! Like, ‘sometime in Season 1 early’.

Of course they bring Adrien into the whole ‘secret royal horse family’ thing.

Mari’s a little scared on that because species difference.

Like, in Equestria interspecies relationship isn’t an issue because it goes by the basic ‘Harkness Test’ rules. So her interest in Adrien is normal to her.

But some Humans get weirded out by the idea so she didn’t know how Adrien would react.

It throws him for a loop but he’s cool with it!

This also involves telling Gabriel about the horse girlfriend.

Lucky for him, he decided to leave the Butterfly Miraculous upstairs during dinner or else he would’ve been found out too.

Anyway, the whole ‘royal horse princess’ thing is definitely enough to make Marinette a good candidate for dating Adrien. So Gabriel is okay with the relationship.

It also helps that Gabriel and Rarity actually somehow get along. She’s used to stuck up rich people so she can play his games without getting frustrated, and she can discuss fashion with him!

They get into a long discussion about Equestria fashion vs. Earth fashion, and Mari is sitting there taking notes because her goal is to make a fashion line that incorporates both dimensions!

Gabriel is kinda low-key thinking about how they’d make powerful Akumas, but tbh… magic horses are things he doesn’t want to risk messing with. Yeah they’d be powerful, but if they go rogue or have issues with merging the different types of Magic… it could be a bad time.

That said, he does try to low-key find out if Twilight and Rarity know of any Magics that might help him save Emilie other than the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous. He doesn’t ask outright as he doesn’t want to tip his hand, but he feigns curiosity in some subjects.

They don’t tell Gabriel about the superhero thing because Adrien begs them not to, knowing that he’d try to stop him if he found out.

One more thing that changes is Mari and Adrien’s relationship with Master Fu as a mentor!

Because of Twilight’s experience with Celestia as her mentor, Marinette is encourage to question Fu’s decisions.

They quickly realize that yeah, Fu’s not always right. In fact, he’s fucking up a lot.

Fu and Twilight can get along as ‘protectors of Magical Artifacts that could either save the world or cause doomsday’. They debate about methods, and while Twilight agrees with Fu’s logic, she can also to get him to see the flaws in it.

So. Outside of occasional pony stuff and various shenanigans involving the ‘aunts and uncles’, and the fact that Adrienette is canon, not much changes. I’ve written outlines for other AUs where Adrienette was Canon early on, so y’all can go dig those up. And I can’t think of specific instances where weird Pony stuff happens outside of like, Marinette’s birthday or something.

But this did start from a salty dream so we gotta get to Lila being a fuck.

Lila comes in and does her usual shit.

She lies about knowing Ladybug and various other celebrities. Of course.

She tries to flirt with Adrien. He turns her down as soon as he realizes because he’s in love with Mari. This gets Mari on her radar.

Between that, and Mari calling her out on her lies, Lila decides to try an ruin her.

So, Mari and Adrien’s responses to this are a little different than Canon.

Marinette feels comfortable telling Adrien that Lila threatened her. So he’s not going to sit by and be quiet since he knows this is a threat, not just a girl lying for attention.

Despite the threats, both are too soft and sweet to write off Lila completely. Especially Mari, oddly enough. As I said. She grew up with stories about her aunts and uncles that changed for the better. So the two of them think that they might be able to be friends with Lila.

That said, they don’t put up with her shit. They call her out when she lies, and don’t tolerate her lying and manipulating people. It doesn’t usually work because Lila is good at thinking up more lies and turning it around, but they try.

The idea that Marinette hates Lila out of jealousy over Adrien is slightly more believable, because the classmates never saw Marinette be jealous before.

Chloé stopped ‘flirting’ with Adrien as soon as he and Mari got together because she respects Adrien as a friend. She makes it clear that they’re just friends and her flirting is mostly joking/possessiveness, and the relationship itself is the first thing that helps Chloé want to change so she can not lose Adrien over being mean to Mari.

Kagami was a little interested in Adrien, but shut it down as soon as she found out that he was dating Marinette, so she and Mari never got off on the wrong foot with jealousy, becoming friends rather quickly. (Mari might have tried to set her up with Luka after she rejected him but you know.)

Mari is usually nice to Adrien’s fangirls, barring any creepy actions.

So this is the first time the class is seeing her react to a ‘legitimate threat’ to the relationship.

Now, while I like salt stuff, I don’t go full ‘the classmates durn into worse bullies than Chloé ever was because they’re convinced Mari is bullying Lila and believe Lila’s word like gospel’ thing.

I could go on a hell of a rant about how that’s a lot of victim blaming but that’s for another time.

Anyway, the classmates are still friendly with Marinette, but they are frustrated at her fighting with Lila. And Lila is lying, manipulating, orchestrating events to make it look like Mari attacked her, etc. It would take a decent amount of manipulation and gaslighting the class to get them to think Mari’s actually horrible, so this is a long-term plan.

One of the biggest things she does in the meantime, is try to isolate Marinette. If she sees someone talking to her, suddenly Lila needs their help with something! She tries to schedule hanging out with the class on days that Mari’s busy. Or just says she’s uncomfortable with Mari being at a hang out, so don’t invite her to this one(it works on smaller hangouts and ones where they’re at someone’s home, but big groups don’t work.). If she is forced to interact with Marinette directly, she starts a fight and blames Mari.

There’s a lot of tension. But Marinette learned from the Princess of Friendship herself. This can be mended, once they figure it out.

This all comes to a head when it comes time for the Class Trip.

The class gets permission to go out of the country, and Marinette suggests Equestria!

Her thought process is

1.) they can help mend things by learning about Equestria’s history and importance of Friendship.

2.) Despite the recent hiccups in their friendship, Marinette loves and trusts most of the class enough to tell them about the ‘I’m secretly a Pony Princess’ thing. And taking them to see Equestria is a good idea to help hammer it in and really wow them!

The school board is hesitant at first, because Equestria is technically another Dimension and all. But they tell her ‘if you send a letter to the Equestrian Government and they say yes, then okay’.

So Mari just calls up her mom and asks. Twilight is immediately planning the trip’s itinerary!

When Marinette announces it to the class, they’re all estatic.

Lila, of course, lies about stuff.

She claims that she went to Equestria before and when turned into a Pony by dimensional Magic stuff, she was totally an Alicorn!

Mari calls so much bullshit on that.

Because the only ways to be an Alicorn are either being born one, which means she’d have to be related to the Royal Family and that’s impossible, or Ascending, which is so goddamn rare.

Not to mention that even if a Human who crossed over became an Alicorn legitimately, that would’ve been major news.

Thankfully most of the stuff Lila lies about regarding culture/celebrities in Equestria/etc are either things Mari can spin as ‘actually that’s a misconception’ and redirect the class to real facts, or something that is coincidentally true, just fuckin buck wild.

When it comes time for the actual trip, Twilight and Rarity show up personally! Partly because they have to, as the link between Earth and Equestria, but also to see Mari and dote on her, glad to formally meet all her friends!!

The class begins to notice things when they are actually transported to Equestria.

First, they notice that Mari seems way too friendly with Twi and Rares. Like, yeah she’s a friendly person, but this is excessive.

They also notice that Marinette is a bit… too used to walking around as a Pony and using Magic, while everyone else is like ‘fuck how do hooves work???’.

There’s, like, a half second after they first go through the portal and are transformed where it seems like Lila wasn’t lying, as she looks like an Alicorn.

But then Twilight recognizes ‘Oh. You’re not an Alicorn. You’re a Changeling. I understand the disguise, as some Ponies are still a bit wary of Changelings, but you shouldn’t go around as an Alicorn as that will get you some unwanted attention and cause a lot of issues!’.

Everyone asks about that, and Twi happily explains that Changelings are shapeshifters!

So like, the excuse here is that Lila didn’t lie about going to Equestria before. She did once a few years ago with her mom. But she was a Changeling, not an Alicorn. She’d hoped that she’d be able to trick the classmates, and possibly even Twilight, but didn’t count on being called out so soon!

Unfortunately, everyone believes the reason Twilight accidently gave instead of the ‘Lila’s a dick’ thing. Mari’s frustrated because ‘damn it mom!’ but you know.

Side notes: What kind of Pony everyone is and their Cutie Marks!

Marinette: Pink Unicorn. Cutie Mark is a Ladybug threading a needle.

Adrien: pastel green Pegasus. Cutie Mark is a fencing saber with a neon green pawprint behind it.

Chloé: Black with white markings Crystal Pony. Cutie Mark is a golden crown, but with honeycomb shapes. (Basically imagine Diamond Tiara’s Cutie Mark, but gold and with hexagons instead of circles on the ends)

Alya: orange Unicorn, Cutie Mark is a Wifi signal with a foxtail

Nino: Deep green Earth Pony, Cutie Mark is headphones with a turtle shell

Juleka: Purpleish-black Unicorn, Cutie Mark is a mirror with claw marks behind it/

Rose: pink Earth Pony, Cutie Mark is a rose but the stem is real curly

Nathaniel: lavender Earth Pony, Cutie Mark is a tablet pen and a feather quill (Ya boi has so much trouble attempting to draw!!)

Alix: light blue Pegasus, Cutie Mark is a pocketwatch with wings

Mylene: tan Pegasus, Cutie Mark is a mouse-like theatre mask

Ivan: dark blue Earth Pony, Cutie Mark crossed drumsticks with a pair of ox horns above it.

Kim: red Pegasus, Cutie Mark is a star with a staff weapon in front of it.

Max: brown Unicorn, Cutie Mark is a computer screen in a horseshoe.

Sabrina: Turquoise Earth Pony, Cutie Mark is a dark turquoise notebook with a purple diamond on it.

Lila: orange Changeling. No Cutie Mark. Uses a foxtail design when transformed to look like a regular pony.

So, as I said, the class is realizing that Marinette is a little too comfortable in Equestria. They eventually ask.

Marinette explains the whole ‘Okay, so didn’t tell you because I didn’t know to trust you guys, and then after I did trust you I wasn’t sure how to tell you but actually…’.

She goes over the whole ‘Twi and Rares are the bio moms, Tom and Sabine are her sort-of-adoptive parents but all four are parents to her’ thing.

Everyone’s like ‘Wait… you’re actually a Pony???’ then they’re like ‘HOLD HE FUCK UP YOU’RE A PRINCESS???’

Lila does kinda try and spin the whole ‘oh she didn’t tell you guys’ thing, but Twi and Rares explain the whole thing was about keeping Mari safe. And if certain people found out about her, it’d be bad.

Time for a little bit of the trip itinerary!

The first few days are spent in Ponyville, with the class staying in Twilight’s Castle.

I feel like I should mention that the last couple seasons of mlp aren’t canon to this timeline but whatever.

While they’re enjoying the sights and learning about Equestria, a chunk of the time is spent learning about how to be Ponies. How to walk on four legs and function with hooves, and how to use their various Magics. Nothing too wild. Just flight lessons for Pegasai, controlling strength for Earth Ponies, and basic spell casting for the Unicorns (along with control so they don’t blast something.).

Lila already knows how to use her Changeling spell stuff, unfortunately.

Marinette does discuss Lila with Twi and Rares.

They go into mom mode and are ready to throw down, but don’t.

Twilight asks them to just keep an eye on what Lila says, correct her if she lies, and maybe also ban her from shapeshifting?

Thankfully, Twilight is smart. She knows that banning Lila from shapeshifting altogether might end badly because there’s have to be questions of why. But she can subtly tag Lila with a specific ban.

Basically, Lila’s Magic will malfunction if she tries to shapeshift into Marinette, any of the classmates, or some of the more important Ponies. Lila won’t know about it unless she tries to do that specifically and finds she can’t.

Lila does, of course, try exactly that. She attempted to change into Marinette and be a jerk, but didn’t even get that far.

When she complains, Twilight just handles it by saying that it’s standard that Changelings nearby Royals and such have that ban.

Other highlights of the trip:

They hit some major cities in Equestria. Like the Crystal Empire, Manehattan(Which annoys Chloé a little because ‘I got to go to Manehattan before Manhattan fuck you mom!), Cloudsdale. And eventually, Canterlot!

Meeting various Royals is a trip in itself. I mean, this is Magic Pony Royalty!! But they’re also absolute dorks.

Adrien gets heckled by all of Marinette’s Aunts and Uncles and he’s a little terrified but loves her.

Diamon Tiara attempts to adopt Chloé somehow. Spike reminds her that Chloé does technically have parents back home, but Diamond’s like ‘no! she reminds me of me so much!!!’.

They get to see a Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale, and a play on Bridleway.

As usual with me and ML fics, Chloé figures out that Mari and Adrien are LB and Chat. She had some strong suspicions before the trip, but after seeing the Cutie Marks of both them and other suspected Heroes, she’s like ‘you motherfuckers!!’.

Later on once they’ve gotten used to being Ponies, they get to go to the old Castle in the Everfree Forest, which is currently half archeological study, and half ‘training for all those bullshit Indiana Jones-like traps that Pony Archeologists have to deal with’. Which means it’s basically an obstacle course!

The final MANE event is an invitation to the Grand Galloping Gala!! With Rarity making all their outfits because she’s GENEROUS like that!!

Last plot point: Lila.

Of course Lila’s lies will be revealed somehow. But tbh…. Since this is a mlp crossover, I sort of want to try giving her some kinda redemption.

I think the best way to do that is to be able to feel the emotions. I mean, Changelings are empaths, basically. She can now physically feel what others feel about one another.

I mentioned in TMOLR that Lila’s lies are part of a cycle. She lies to make people love her, but they don’t love her, just the lies. So she continues the lie to keep the love.

With her empathy powers, she can feel that the love aimed at her is no different than the love they aim at each other. And at first, she brushes it off as her fooling them too well.

It’s actually only once the lies are exposed that she begins to realize that, despite the anger and betrayal her classmates feel, they still care. They still, on some basic level, love her.

She’s not going to be free of consequences, but she might be able to turn it around.

Legit though, I think a mlp crossover is the only time I can genuinely think of having a Lila Redemption because of the kind of bullshit the Ponies have done with redemptions.

#Friendship is Miraculous #ml salt #kinda #it started salty but gets sugary very fast because this is an mlp crossover #idk why the formatting on this post is so weird but I can't fix it so I'll blame Tumblr itself

The Loud House Reviews: L is For Love

Happy Pride Month Everyone! I have to admit I didn’t realize pride month was in June. Luckily that just meant two things: 1) This was a plesant suprise for once in an escalatingly terrible year when I found out early yesterday morning when most of this review was written. And 2) I already, thanks to thinking about them due to the she ra finale and watching more loud house again now i’m back on cable, planning to do the three Saluna episodes as at trilogy after getting blood moon ball out of the way.

Today’s ep takes place in late season 2. As mentioned in the “Brave the Last Dance Review’ the series had some growing pains before it got to it’s current shape: the series largely focused on lincoln at first, but as season 2 went on the show slowly eased off him. While he still gets plenty of episodes focusing on him, and still gets the ocasional weird zach morris talk to the camera moment when the episode calls for it, the show wisely decided to make itself into an ensemble piece. INstead of being about the one boy navigating a big house it became about 11 children and their parents navigating being a big family and the perils of adolsence and what not. As such today’s ep , while focusing on the kids as a whole, evnetually zeros in on my faviorite Loud child, Luna. Luna, as you probably know but what the hell, is an aspiring rock star, most of the time fairly chill and using the word dude a lot but not afraid to get loud, pun intended, or throw up the devil horns at a moments notice. She’s also a loving big sis, cares about her siblings, and is in short a wonderful character that season 1.. really didn’t give much focus. Season 2 rectified that to my delight, giving her a focus episode early on, Roadie to Nowhere, which revealed that she also has some confidence issues that are brought to the forefront here and go on to be a vital part of her character. I also admitely was delighted to see her voice actress, Nika Futterman, in a major role again, and she’s delightful in the role and even does luna’s singing. And this ep while being an “all hands on deck’ episode about all of the siblings, does have a major focus on luna as it goes, and thus I jumped on it immidetly.. that and you know, the fact it canocially made her bisexual, making a headcanon I had about her canon and being something they actually hinted at back in season 1. But we’ll get more into that later. For now, L is for love, lunacy and luna after the cut!

We open with Lincoln getting the mail and then gasping in shock at one letter, before calling an emergency sibling meeting. The sibling meetings are something that had been set up before with Lori,a s the oldest, leading them, and a thing I like: it makes sense with this many kids to have some sort of internal way to solve problems with them or vote on things as a group when needed. Simple, makes sense and i’m glad it’s stuck around. After dealing with the previous meetings minutes, Lincoln reveals what rattled him a bit: A mysterious love letter adressed to “L.Loud”. And it’s a nice way to use the series cute naming gimmick as a plot point: ONE of the siblings has a secret admirer,a nd while Lori, being lori, assumes it’s her boyfriend bobby, sh’es quickly shot down. And that.. makes sense. Bobby is a romantic, and a great character who I love dearly and will watch the spinoff soley because he’s in it.. but it’s been shown before this ep that bobbi’s a big romantic gesture guy. The boy put himself in a giant present and nearly suffocated to death to surprise his girlfriend for Christmas and went above and beyond for their anniversary. The guy’s a peach.. but he’s also not subtle. He’s also, while not lacking in cleverness as his later career as a bodegaman shows, not very bright so if this was him, his name would probably be crossed out somewhere on it. But each of the louds have their own crushes... which is a problem with the ep. Now to the shows credit, besides the obvious of having Sam come back, two of these characters DO come back later: Chaz, Leni’s crush, ends up mentioned in season 3, and Luann’s crush Benny ends up the focus of a spotlight episode for her in late season 3, voiced by another one of my boys (and girls) stable of voice actors Sean Gambone later on. However even with that in mind this disconnect is the episodes biggest issue: outside of sam, since we see Luna visably struggle in a bit and we’ll get into that then, we have no real investment in seeing the louds get together with most of those people other than because the episode tells us to. It didn’t really help that Lincoln and Lucy HAD love intrests in previous episodes. And sure Ronnie Anne had moved at this point, but Lincoln had a previous crush before her Cristina to use, and we had an entire episdoe about Lucy having a crush on rocky. And somehow Rocky still hasn’t come back, but his dumbass brother is a recurring character, which if nothing else is my proof that god hates me specfically. Also yeah.. while the crushes all have names I’m purposfully not looking them up as most of them are nondiscrept at best, and the only notable one is LIsa’s crush who looks like a tiny Doctor Octopus..so apparently Otto cloned himself and gave his son black hair? I mean that’s what i’m going with it sounds like the kind of contingincey he’d do and he did die for a while. Twice. Oh and the fact Lily is crushing on a teddy bear which is just really cute. That being said, the episode DOES get something big right: Doing this kind of stock plot right. I mean “everyone thinks a romantic letter/card/card and flowers’ is for them is a stock sitcom plot and an annoying one at that half the time as the person who sent them comes off as super dumb, or the card has to be smudged or it has to be a nickname or something something, etc etc. Here... while they all think it’s for them, it makes perfect sense for once: They ALL have the same initials, so not knowing which ones which, aside from not Bobby because of reasons I mentoined already and Bear because AS FAR AS WE KNOW he’s not alive... I mean they do live in a house with a 4 year old who tampers with the natural order as part of her to do list every day, so it’s really a matter of when not IF with that. It also avoids: “Everyone fights and gets petty over it” .. which itself the series has botched at times for other plots, so instead while they all want it to be them and breifly get agitated over it, they instead all work together using the same tactics to try and suss it out. It’s a nice change of pace and part of why this episode works despite the repettition.. more on that later. Anyways of all of them it’s Lucy who offers the easiest way to narrow it down, knowing how secret admirers work because she reads a lot of vampire fiction and vampires , while inhumanly goregous are also deeply insecure which, having watched all 5 seasons of angel.. yeah that tracks good work. As such she suggests they all send a signal to gage their intrest and if their intrested, they’ll send another letter. Shenanigans insue, my faviorite being Leni pretending to be a manquin and scaring the shit out of Chaz. Not bad jokes, but we’ll get to more about it later. The plan actually works and the next poem has a rose and-mentions the targets brown hair, so our bachlerottes are down to Luna, Luann, Lynn and Lisa. It’s also a nice clue for the reveal later. Naturally their all stoked.. except Luna who looks visably depressed. Turns out she never GAVE her signal because she talked herself out of it, thinking Sam’s out of her league. But her siblings quickly all jump in to encourage her. It’s a nice scene. Starting with the easier part to talk about I do love the siblings comradere. Sure they fight, scheme against one another, ocasinally encourage one of their siblings to date a bully or throw him out of the house.. okay the last ones aren’t as typical or easily forgivable but still, the point is despite it all.. they love each other and when it counts, their there for each other. Hell here Luaan, Lisa and Lynn are all directly against Luna, hoping the letter we’ll be there’s.. yet they have nothing but support for her. The rest of her siblings just found out this wasn’t about them.. but the instant they realize Luna is so down on herself she thinks she’s out of the running, they change from disapointi to being her cheer section. It’s really sweet and it’s this among other moments that helps boost the episode up. I also like the special touch of Lori chiming in at the end, not to be lost in with the rest of her siblings, knowing likely that being both the oldest and the only one there having been in a relationship for a while, her words likely carry some weight. The other thing.. is Luna’s character, and how this episode cements self-doubt as a major part of her character. And i’ts a part I really like, a nice contrast from her usual confidence, and most episodes about her afte rthis would zero in on this aspect for good character growth. So since Lucy was already right, they follow her advice for round 2: Give there crush a token of affection, and wait for at third letter. Which honestly aside from actually giving signals back, she’s not entirely wrong: most “love letter plots” have this sort of rhythm. Speaking of rhtyum.. yeah this sequence is basically the same one as before just with a diffrent goal in mind.. however I do give the episode credit. In my previous review I spoke about my annoynce at the series love of repettion, and while this episode does suffer for it.. I inflated it in my head that it was worse here. Here the jokes land enough and it does work to the episodes benifit to repeat stuff. Plus here it ends up being plot relevant: After gifts of a pie to the face (Luann), a literal hart (Lisa) and a jock strap (Lynn), Luna has a decidedly less psychotic gift in mind: Her faviorite guitar pic, which even has a heart within a heart and is a very cute gesture... but she once again backs out and accepts not being that lucky. But I also like it because it cleverly shows that it’s not Luna herself that’s the problem: out of the 4 remaning siblings she’s the only one with a valid gift, and it make sense given both her personality and her siblings inexperince. It’s jsut she’s so scared of rejection she can’t bring herself to try. So the family is familing in the living room when Leni comes in with the final letter from the mail man... and with the final letter admitting to a love of their sounds and all things british, yeah it’s gotta be Luna? So the secret admirer has set up a meting at bangers and mosh, a place that serves british food and is a rock venue. Luna is shocked but happy and the family carry her off.. minus Leni who being Leni wants to make sure the mailman is okay since she tried letting him down gently thinking the letter was from him. The kids arrive, all coming with for moral support apparently.. only to find their parents. Wah wah wah! In all seriousness, this twist works. With the episode geared towards Luna, most fans probably woudln’t think about their parents or this being some wacky sitcom solution, but the episode gives decent hints: Brown hair, a love of british things , an established trait for Luna as much as Lynn senior, who spent a year abroad, ironically enough revealed in the same ep Luna hinted was bi and all the girls stalked an innocent british person because of course the head writer with a history of sexual harassment would think that was a good idea. Anyways, he also was established to have a band in “House Music”, luna’s other spotlight ep from season 1, So it’ a really good use of continuity, and if you were a diehard fan of thes how or rewatched those two eps a lot, you’d probably be able to figure it out. To their credit though I did not. Anyways Leni gives out an amaazing line “Sam likes dad?” , Rita, after a bit of confusion at her daughter’s hilarous dumbassery, explains she sent the letter: As it turns out it’s how they met. Now granted you’d think they would’ve told the kids this before but I brush it off as the kids simply not thinking of that: It was a resonable assumption the letter was for them, and none of the letters had anything about Lynn Sr. That didn’t apply to his kids. Anyways, thinking Lynn Sr out of her league, much like her daughter’s current delimma which is a nice touch. ON the third note she asked him to meet her at the very restraunt they are now, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first date. And to me this little story is just.. really fucking adorable, as is Rita’s love of Lynn Sr.’s pisstake british accent. Rita, being a great mom, does try and comfort luna hoping she’s not disapointed. However while Luna was at first... her story inspiries Luna to take a risk. After all it worked for her parents, she and Sam could work. She just has to make that move and rallies her family to do the same. We also get one more fantastic gag before we get to the end montage: Lynn Sr: This calls for a celebration! Meat pies for everyone! Restraunt: Yay! Lynn Sr: Actually I just meant my family Restraunt: (grumbles) Lynn Sr: Oh come on theres 13 of us! So we end on one last montage as each loud kid gives their crush a note, some seeing it some not, and for Leni does the manquin bit again, which is adorable. Also the otto kid is apparently not named otto, but in my defense.. I don’t care. So after some genuinely cute bits, we get one last one as Luna leaves a note for sam.. and you see, as you probably know for most of the episode the show hadn’t been specific on which one Sam is, so when it turned out to be one of the girls, it’d be a twist. Of course it isn’t NOW: I called this a saluna trilogy after all and really most people hearing about the loud house probably know about her and Luna but at the time it was a smart twist.

And I loved it. WHile i’d headcannoned her as bi, there were hints after all, it was, much like the korassmi ending of legend of korra , a plesant shock to have it be REAL. And the ending shot, of luna simling at the above from behind the lockers, is really sweet. But I also give Nick and the Loud House credit where it’s do. While they weren’t the first children’s cartoon to have an out and out gay/bi/pan protaganist, they were one of the first to not only have a bi protagnist during the context of the show, but to have it be visable.. it was really nice. Even if I do wish they’d use the term bi i’m not greedy and the show to it’s credit, while giving moments like this florish, dosen’t go out of it’s way to pat itself o the back about it’s represenation. The characters who are queer or disabled or POC are just.. there , with enough prominence to be proper representation while not letting that be ALL they are. Now sure at the time of this writing Representation, even within the Loud House itself as it followed up on this, has taken even greater leaps: In Adult Animation we have Harley Quinn having the last act of it’s second season be dedicated to Harley’s emotiona turmoil over being in love with her engaged best friend and said best friend, for now NOT wanting more, a pairing fans had wanted to see played out since the two first met. She Ra had two LEADS angished declartions of loved save teh unvierse and be the emotional climax of the finale. And netflix has gone on to have several gay characters in it’s childrens show on top of that, all leads. But while I think all of tihs would’ve happened without L is for Love, I do still applaud it as a good step forward. Sure the show had Clyde’s dads’ before, and they are good characters don’t get me wrong, but this was something else and as Bi person myself.. I really welcome it. Final Thoughts: Not much to say I haven’t, but overall a realy damn good episode with a hell of an ending that makes use of the repetttion rather than usingit because “Oh shit we have a lot of episodes to get out this season”. Of course we’ll be getting back to sam and luna soon enough with season 3′s followup racing hearts, and with me knowing it’s pride I have tons of review ideas a coming, but for now, reblog this review if you liked it, or just like it if youd ont’ feel like that, send me an ask if you have any other episodes i’d like to cover, or comission one if you wnat to make SURE I cover it, and i’ll see you next time. Later days.

hi! could I get a written ship for nct 127, nct dream, and seventeen? i am 5’5” with brown hair and brown eyes. i’m an isfj and gemini. i am generally calm and soft spoken, and my friends describe me as a happy, gentle, and studious person. i’m also told that I can be too nice for my own good, and i’m definitely a mom friend ahah. my hobbies include drawing, listening to music, reading manga, watching tv, traveling, and baking. i also love spending time with my friends and family and studying in cafes :) my favorite foods are sushi, poke, and korean bbq. i’m family-oriented and love animals, especially cats! i daydream a lot and would describe myself as an idealist. i tend to be drawn to people who have a cool or almost cold appearance but are actually sweet on the inside. arrogance, dishonesty, selfishness, and rudeness are huge pet-peeves of mine. my ideal date would be a comfy home date (cooking dinner together and watching a movie). thank you so much! hope you have a good day💗💗

Heyy gorgeous, thanks so much for requesting. So sorry for the hold up, but your ships are finally here...

From Nct Dream, I ship you with...Renjun

Positive Side: When I read your description from start to finish, I just knew I was going to ship you with him. Your personalities definitely make a good balance in a sense, because just like you, he’s very soft spoken, gentle, very friendly and can be in tone with his emotions in a positive light. He also can be fiesty, dramatic and very funny which adds more excitement to both of your relationship. When people try to take advantage of your kindnesses or even tease you too much, Renjun would stand up for you in a heart beat grasping your shoulder clinging you close to him. Dates would be sooo entertaining because you both have similar interests and hobbies. You guys will do weekly art projects together as dates and exchange them as gifts for other to hang up in your rooms. Since he's learning more about cooking as he go, he would get guidance from hyung Doyoung to prepare your favorite dish along with any movie of your choice. Lastly, he’s a sucker for baby kittens and the both of you would adopt 3 from the shelter to name them Clover, Sparkle and Coco. Being with him can help you both learn to love and blossom into a more stronger, loveable and powerful couple.

Negative Side: Renjun can be a tab bit sensitive when it comes to being with you. Every once in awhile, we see Renjun reveal his emotional side to czennies which can make me ooo so soft most of the time, but that’s only because he knows how to pour his heart out into his dream job and your relationship. I have a feeling sometimes he can’t control his jealousy by making assumptions when a guy is flirting with you or even touching you. The guy wouldn’t even be able to make eye contact more than 10 seconds, that enough would start to irritate him. Not saying he would act crazy, but he can only go so far with his patience, because this man can get real hot headed easily. I meann he has to deal with pranksters Haechan and Chenle so I understand his pain lol.

But...: After him pouting and ranting about the guy that was giving all over you, you gave him reassurance by taking him out for sushi and letting him stay the night at your place cuddling in your bed sharing hoodie as a blanket while watching anime. Renjun just loves giving his all to you and wanted to make sure that all the guys that would ever dare try to hit you up or hook up with you had to deal with facing your boyfriend and his fist. He can acting intense sometimes, but at the end of the day Renjun has the vocals and the personality of an angel and would never let anything bad happen to your relationship.

From Nct 127, I ship you with...Doyoung

Positive Side: Personally, I feel like matching you with Doyoung made the most sense to me. He would love how hard you study and how you have those traits of a mom very gentle, kind, calm and very wise. I have this feeling that in order to be with Doyoung, you have to keep up with his level of intelligence in order to understand him and his humor. I feel like in that aspect, that’s where you both click so well as friends and lovers. When around the members, you love to help Doyoung cook dinner almost every night with him learning new recipes and having intimate time together. Doyoung has been really bold lately especially with czennies so I can imagine him trying to flirt with you by wrapping his arms around you helping you mix or drop the amount of ingredients needed in the bowl. Cafe dates with him every weekend too to help you study for your exams, he would know exactly what study tools worked best for you and reward you with a kiss if you got all the answers right. Only straight A’s or no kisses was his number 1 rule. Lastly, he would be so professional yet protective of you when dealing with rude people. For example, if a saesang tried to spam you with texts asking for Doyoung’s Instagram account info, this man would grab your phone and troll them by giving them fake info. He would professionally go off on haters if it meant he could protect you.

Negative Side: Sometimes Doyoung can say harsh petty things, but a lot of times he means it as a joke. This side of him was hard to understand at first because most of the time you couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious. Those times would lead to you feeling hurt inside and made it hard for you to face him. Even the other members that saw this happening, would thump Doyoung in the forehead very hard to make him realize what he’s done.

But...: Doyoung cares about you too much to let you feel sad, because of him. He apologizes with tears almost in his eyes and he even insists on allowing you to hit him. Instead, you both just hold each other’s hands and agreed to learn how to understand each other even more. After awhile his jokes doesn’t phase you and you even snap back at him. The love starts to become stronger at that point.

Awhhh our beautiful bunny boy 🥺🐰✨

From Seventeen, I ship you with... Jun

Positive Side: As much as I know seventeen, Jun is still kind of hard to describe personality wise. He does fit your ideal type as far as someone who would look cool and cold, but is actually sweet and laidback. He has very unique charms, hes a hard worker and he’s very talented. I can tell you this though, your both very idealistic and daydreamers which works out perfectly, because you both can work together help achieving your goals. You can help him stay motivated to continue to perform with seventeen and he can encourage you to focus on school and finish strong. Being the food lovers you both are, he’ll travel with you to the best tasting restaurants from Korean bbq to rolled ice cream. Expect lots of drunken moments with Jun especially when he’s out with the members. He’s only a giggler when he’s drunk, but he’s also a cuddler. When schedules become too busy and he’s super tired, he’s a very homey person so he would love to watch movies, reading manga together and playing games with you eating chocolate chip cookies you both just baked the other night. Lastly expect FaceTime shenanigans when he’s away on tour, he’ll be blowing up your phone trying to update you on everything that’s going on when he’s traveling with his members. “What is it this time Jun? You just called me 5 min ago.” “Check this out baby, they have these cute charm bracelets at this store. You want one?” “Awhh of course” Also. Never hang up without saying I love you or he’ll keep calling you back until you do.

Negative Side: Although both Gemini’s would seem like a disaster combination, it’s not as bad as you think. I think the only issue between you two would be the level of trust. In the beginning when you first moved in together, it was kind of hard to adjust living together, because he didn’t want you snooping into his things and you didn’t want him popping in your room whenever you were studying or changing. Those would lead to awkward conversations if you both ever broke those boundaries. The both of you at that point wouldn’t know how to recover from them awkward moments.

But...: After awhile, you both don’t seemed to be too bothered by it because you start to understand each other’s patterns and mood changes which is why you both can work easily together. It’ll tend to frustrate sometimes, but the both of you get over it and move on to the next thing. One minute your jokingly making fun of each other, the next minute you release that frustration out on each other through your make out sessions.

Out of everyone, I ship you with...Renjun the most.

@beahutiful thanks so much for requesting and I hope you enjoyed your ship. I also hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend.❤️❤️❤️

The Sappy CarmillaCon Appreciation Post You’ve All Been Waiting For

It’s been a week since CarmillaCon, so now that I’ve had some time to relfect, it’s time to share my recap of the convention. Buckle up, creampuffs—this is gonna get long and emotional.

Wow, where do I even begin with this? Perhaps at the beginning would be ideal. I remember, over a year ago, when CarmillaCon was just a hypothetical. A simple “We need a Carmilla con.” Watching it unfold over time was such a journey, and it’s incredible to look back on that moment and know how things turned out.

Last weekend was a weekend of firsts for me. As a convention newbie, all my previous knowledge of how conventions worked was all learned through secondhand accounts of other cons. It was also my first time planning an entire trip and traveling by myself. And let me tell you, I was nervous. But my trip to Toronto, especially CarmillaCon, turned out to be such an overwhelmingly positive experience. And from the people I’ve spoken to, that sounds like a common theme. Everyone involved in the planning process should be very proud of their achievements.

And now is the part where I give some shoutouts to the people who made CarmillaCon the spectacular time it was.

Natasha Negovanlis. I don’t know anyone who puts as much love and care into getting to know their fans as much as Natasha does. And she remembers so many details about each of us! I’m always impressed by that. She truly makes everyone feel special and loved, whether she’s meeting you for the millionth time or the first.

Elise Bauman. I’ve heard dozens of people talk about how easy it is to interact with Elise, but getting to experience it for myself was an entirely different level. Her meet & greet felt like chatting with a long-time friend. She’s so genuine, quirky, and downright hilarious.

Kaitlyn Alexander was just as excited to meet their fans as we were to meet them, and that is so beautiful. I also really admire them for working through social anxiety and talking openly about it, because it was nice to know that I wasn’t alone in feeling anxious. They deserve all the good things.

Annie Briggs is absolutely SAVAGE. She goes from talking profoundly and professionally to dropping the most absurd and crass quips. Quite literally the embodiment of the “hi sir nice to meet you”/“your daughter calls me daddy too” meme.

Nicole Stamp is an incredibly sweet person, and I admire her so much for her friendliness and ability to make everyone around her feel appreciated. We ran into her in passing a few times, and even when she was in a hurry to get somewhere, she still stopped and said hi.

Matt O’Connor is a real sweetheart, and during my autograph we talked about his trip to Boston last year. I love being able to connect with the actors over personal details like that! Also, his Carmilla impression in the cast panel was hysterical!

Sharon Belle’s ability to just be goofy is so precious! I would totally watch a spin-off of Danny solving petty crimes and returning lost library books.

Aaron Chartrand seems so nice and thoughtful, and an all around cool guy. I wish I had interacted with him more during the con!

The Carmilla Creators. Jordan, Ellen, Steph, and Melanie (and Spencer, in spirit) are legends, y’all. Everything they said in the Creators Panel was super empowering, and I left feeling inspired to create and tell my original stories to the world. And of course, getting to chat about fandom and fanfiction with Steph and Ellen at the Fanfic Meetup was wonderful! The thing that makes Carmilla so unique is that its creators are privy to the world of fandom, having participated in it themselves, which allows them to really know their audience and tell us the stories we want and need.

The Moderators: Dana, Belinda, and Angie made the panels so entertaining and so unique! They are an integral part of this fandom, and I loved getting to witness their shenanigans in person.

The CarmillaCon Staff and Volunteers were just lovely! I applaud them for how smoothly everything ran, and for how much thought the organizers put into the logistics. I swear they thought of everything! Writing down your names on sticky notes before autographs so the guests can spell your name correctly. Ensuring that the convention was accessible. Making sure none of the panels coflicted with autos, photos, and meet & greets. Placing the vendor tables right outside the panel room to get us as much exposure as possible. It’s one thing to listen to feedback from your own convention’s attendees after the matter, but it’s another to listen to the greater fandom community’s experiences with other cons and be proactive. Any time I had a question or issue leading up to and during the con, I was assisted quickly and compassionately. Everyone was also extremely generous! Several staff members gave out extra autographs and photos to attendees throughout the event, which I loved.

The Vendors—I greatly enjoyed spending time with them! This was my first ever convention both as a fan AND as an artist, so I really appreciated learning from them and being able to support each other. I’d also like to give a shoutout to @learntodefygravity for becoming my assistant and running my table when I was participating in other parts of the con.

Everyone who stopped by my table! Whether you were there to get something or just to chat, you really made my weekend. I’m still so full of feels from all the sweet things everyone said about me and my art last week. Sometimes it’s difficult to take myself seriously—I often feel like I’m not a “real” artist because I draw primarily fanart, and for such a tiny community of people at that. But my CarmillaCon experience proved to me that there is an audience for my art, and I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting me over the past 4+ years. And yes, there will be more art in the future! I’m working on setting up an Etsy store as well as researching how to print my own lenticular bookmarks since the ones I brought were so popular! I’ll keep you all updated.

All the friends I spent time with. Some of you I’ve spoken to online every day for the past year. Others, I’ve interacted with occasionally on twitter or discord. A few of you I had never spoken to directly until the con. No matter what category you fell under, it was a pleasure to get to spend time with you, and I miss you all so much. Why do you have to live so far away from me? Why isn’t teleporting a thing yet?! (What I wouldn’t give for another minty group hug right about now.)

And lastly, thank you to everyone. Despite how much I fangirl about it online, I’m not one to talk openly about Carmilla and how much it means to me outside of the internet. I’m afraid of being judged for loving it too much. But this past weekend I got to meet several hundred people who are just as passionate as I am about the little webseries that could, and I’m so grateful for that opportunity. I’m not alone, and I never was. This fandom has helped me step out of my comfort zone in so many ways. I may be outgoing and outspoken online, but take me our from behind a screen and I’m very shy and self conscious. Just two years ago, taking public transportation alone in my own city seemed scary to me, but last week I had the courage to travel on my own and experience new things. I thought I would be overwhelmed and anxious all through CarmillaCon, but the second I found my people, I felt comforted and energized. I’ve grown so much over the years, and I owe a lot of that progress to the fandom and the encouragement I’ve received. You’ve all been by my side and helped me grow up and grow into myself. Here’s to Carmilla, and here’s to the creampuffs!

Pairing: MadaraTobirama Word count: 4255 Chapter: 26/42 Summary: Not all wars are fought on the battlefield. Some are fought at the conference table, with whispers in the shadows, or even in the bedroom.

In a world where the Senju and Uchiha traditional lands were too far apart to have ever made them enemies, Butsuma and Tajima are the ones who come together and sign a treaty of peace. Madara isn’t happy to have his life signed away for him in a political marriage to strengthen the bond between their clans. He is even less happy to have Tobirama make assumptions of him from their very first night together. What follows from there is a journey of healing, of learning, and finding the places to belong in the places least expected.

Chapter 26

Sitting in a room with Butsuma and Tajima at the same time had always been a little stifling even before this stupid little feud between them really started. After the events at Susumu’s birthday party and the rumors that flew from one end of town to the other before the day was over, sitting in a room with both men now felt downright suffocating even with dozens of other bodies between them.

Even worse, every body filling in the spaces around the council table now understood the tension between the two men who had brought them all together and the group as a whole seemed to have separated in to two different camps. The first camp seemed to find this whole mess shameful and only the chain of command stopped any of them from scolding either Butsuma or Tajima. The second camp found the situation nothing less than amusing in a petty sort of way and seemed eager to egg the two of them on, much to Tobirama’s dismay.

Neither of them needed help being dramatic, he could say that with absolute surety.

He would have liked to say it made the council meetings even more awkward but with so many different personalities and opinions to navigate with each new issue they discussed it was always a circus in that room anyway. Adding the drama of their two founders facing off against each other while trying to maintain a thin veneer of affability wasn’t really all that odd. Not fun, certainly, but not as terrible as it could have been. At least they were pretending to be nice.

Until now all of Tajima’s plans had been flavored with sneaky undertones, back alley deals and spy recruitment, scheming maneuvers he had attempted to undermine his perceived opponent with. Tobirama watched the man stand up and clear his throat and he wondered if Tajima was switching gears entirely or just trying something new to throw them all off.

“Thank you all for being so prompt this afternoon,” he called, silencing the last few voices still quietly murmuring in idle conversation. “We have a lot of things to go over today. There are several updates from my son Izuna about the situation with the Inferno Squad, who are now calling themselves the ANBU apparently, that will be covered in the briefing. Nara-san had concerns about the hospital resources to address. And many other things as well but first there is something I would like to put before the council for review.”

“Please,” Madara rumbled under his breath in the seat beside Tobirama, as had become their usual. “Thrill us.” The two of them shared a smirk until Tajima pulled a form out of the dossier he’d brought along with him.

“I have here a form that I believe the council will find very interesting - and concerning. You will all recall the recent alliance forged with the Land of Iron and the many benefits therein, one of which being the contract signed allowing us to purchase their weapons at prices well below the current market. It was a shock to me then, when I read over the first order form about to be sent and the receipt detailing our enclosed payment." Tajima's gaze slid triumphantly down the table. "My esteemed colleague has made an error, I believe. Did we not agree on five hundred yen per unit?" From the expectant pause it was clear he was waiting for an answer.

Through gritted teeth Butsuma admitted, "Yes, that was the agreement."

"Ah, then you will understand my confusion upon seeing you have written that we are to pay five thousand yen per unit. For such disposable weapons, their quality made to match their purpose, can we be expected to pay such a high price without emptying our coffers overnight?"

Tajima sat back with a haughty look of victory all but dripping from his features, eyes locked challengingly down the table with Butsuma's as though daring the man to climb out of the hole that had just been dug for him. Around the table other members of the council were murmuring to each other with a mixture of shock that such a mistake had nearly occurred and relief that it had subsequently been caught. With each new voice that chimed in to exclaim their surprise Butsuma's spine stiffened more and more in his seat.

Unable to make himself feel surprise, Tobirama checked to be sure no one was looking in his direction before giving in to the urge to roll his eyes, leaning sideways against Madara to express his exasperation without words. He knew the message was received loud and clear when his husband reached across under the table to squeeze his hand and weave their fingers together in support. It was starting to feel like not a single meeting of the high council could be completed without some sort of drama or clash rising between their fathers and it had started getting old a long time before now.

"I hardly think one error in paperwork constitutes a state of emergency," Butsuma growled, "I will rewrite the receipt. Let us move on." He clearly did not enjoy the condescending smile his rival sent him for his words.

"Rest assured that I have already fixed this error before it could cause us harm. The order is well on its way to the Land of Iron with a properly written receipt."

"Then I do not see the point in mentioning it."

Of course he knew why it had been mentioned, Tobirama was sure of that, just as everyone present was probably sure why it was mentioned. Tajima was only too happy to smile at him like a viper smiles at its next meal. "There can never be too many cautionary tales for how such a simple mistake may cause so much damage. To our reputation, to our coffers, to any future contracts made with the Land of Iron."

Halfway between them, Tobirama wondered whether anyone would notice if he simply disappeared from his seat.

"It is good that you caught this before it could come back to bite us," the Yamanaka heir spoke up. Against all physical odds Tajima somehow managed to puff himself up even more.

"Yes, I rather thought so."

"Truly you and Butsuma-sama make an excellent team."

"What?" Startled to have someone else included in his compliments, Tajima's voice came out as a flat demand. Miraculously Yamanaka-san didn't seem to notice.

Smiling in what he clearly believed to be an encouraging manner, the younger lad sat forward with an earnest expression. "With both of you here working together our village will accomplish every goal we set for ourselves, I'm certain. We are incredibly lucky to have the two of you working side by side; you complement each other so well."

Half the room was forced to hide their smiles behind hands and sleeves or a well-placed fan as Tajima's expression soured comically and, across the room, Butsuma mirrored him almost exactly. In his own seat Tobirama tightened his grip on Madara's hand until he was sure both their knuckles must have turned white from the pressure. Petty laughter bubbled up in his throat but he clamped his teeth and refused to let it out. How the Yamanaka heir managed not to notice the obvious tension between their two founders was beyond him but for once he decided he could celebrate a little stupidity if it gifted him with such a golden moment as seeing Tajima gnash his teeth like he was doing now.

Whether his plan had been to pull Butsuma down, raise himself up, or both, this certainly wasn't the result he had been hoping for. Instead of distancing himself from his rival, not only had he been compared and found equal but had been deemed only part of an essential whole. Never had the rage of another human being been so satisfying to witness.

"The floor is open for other discussions," Tajima declared icily. He seat in his seat with rigid purpose and set his gaze stubbornly on the notes he had brought with him. If Tobirama had to guess he would have said every one of those documents was to be further proof of Butsuma's incompetence, abandoned and unnecessary now that the man was too angry to speak without shaming himself with another screaming match.

Around the room each of those who had hidden their smiles before were forced to do so again as Butsuma stood for a moment with indignation still clinging to his face and invited the Nara clan head to lead their discussion about hospital funding. Both he and Tajima refused to look at each other for the rest of the meeting even when they were required to interact, preferring to make their address to the empty air beside each other's heads. It was both hilarious and embarrassing to watch them act like such children but those who took note of their behavior were not surprised in the least.

No matter how entertaining the idiotic shenanigans between them were becoming, however, they were all there for a specific purpose and it wasn't long before a serious mood had once again fallen over the meeting while they discussed which new trade agreements or fundraising opportunities they could pursue to budget in a research division for their growing hospital. Even Tajima eventually gathered himself enough to take part, though he did refuse to comment on any topic Butsuma happened to be leading.

For his own part Tobirama found it quite hard to keep his concentration on the issues at hand when all he wanted to think about was the warmth in his palm where Madara had yet to separate their hands. Hidden out of sight beneath the table where he wouldn't have to worry about flaunting their relationship so unprofessionally during a serious meeting, he could even feel a strong thumb drawing circles on the back of his hand. Was it absent? Purposeful? He couldn't tell but the mystery of it occupied him so thoroughly he nearly missed having his opinion asked on something - and he couldn't even find it in himself to be ashamed of his inattention. Not when the distraction was Madara.

The meeting lasted only a short while longer than usual but it was enough that Tobirama found himself viscerally disappointed, left with less time before the end of the day and forced to stay late to finish several things instead of going home with his husband as he had planned. After spending several hours trading soft touches and gentle squeezes it was an unwanted reality check to watch Madara head off at Hashirama's side after work while he stayed behind at his desk with several urgent scrolls awaiting his attention. Having spent at least twenty minutes of that everlasting meeting planning out a nice dinner they could have together he was understandably irritated even before he pulled the first scroll towards himself, unrolling it with a bitter scowl, and told himself that he wasn't jealous of his own brother. Not at all. Just because they were best friends and Madara had seemed delighted to be invited over for hot pot didn't mean there was anything to be jealous over.

Other than the fact that he was stuck here at work while others were treated to Madara's company in a relaxed environment where he might have been bold enough to weave their hands together again.

It felt like it took twice as long as it should have for him to get everything done for the day and make his escape. Every time he thought he was ready to go someone else stopped by and dropped a new problem in his lap or sent a bit of paperwork back with new suggestions that needed addressing. The longer he stayed the more Tobirama despaired of his own brain and how much advantage their leaders took of it. Out of all the people who worked in the tower he was probably the one with a hand in the most projects at a time even if he wasn’t the lead on all of them.

Eventually he was able to declare himself ready to leave before anyone else showed up with more work, although he ruefully noted that there weren’t many chakra signatures left in the building to do so, most people other than the security team having packed it in an hour or more before. He slipped away just as one of his office mates came back but refused to look them in the eye in case they tried to speak with him about something that might hold him back even longer. Seeing Madara again and sneaking in as many kisses before bedtime as he could was much more interesting than any sanitation dispute or road planning project could ever be. If he had to drag the man away from Hashirama's house then he would.

At least that was his intention until he stepped through the door to the scent of hot pot thick in the air and his stomach set up a raucous protest of any plan that did not involve finding the source of that delicious smell. Following his other senses led him in to the kitchen where his husband, brother, and his brother’s wife all sat around the dining table with half empty bowls. Madara's expression was only mildly curious upon seeing him but the sensation of warm chakra bubbling and happily reaching out for him was nearly enough to stop him in his tracks so he could melt in to a disgustingly happy puddle. He wondered if the man even realized he could feel such reactions and if he should mention it or just keep this pleasant little nugget to himself. It wouldn’t do to embarrass Madara in to containing himself in the future.

“There is still food on the stove if you are hungry.” Mito invited him to serve himself with a graceful wave of one hand. With a grateful nod Tobirama headed to the cupboards for a bowl, brushing his hand subtly against Madara’s sleeve on the way by. It wasn’t the kiss he had wanted but that could wait until he wasn’t distracted by the ravenous hunger in his belly.

“Long day?” Hashirama asked as he portioned out a large helping. “I’m surprised you’re only leaving the office now.”

“Every time I tried to escape someone else had a new emergency for me to solve.”

“The price of being indispensable,” his brother teased gently.

If there was one thing that Tobirama appreciated about his brother it was that Hashirama understood his own intellect and had never experienced any jealousy for having a brother that could think circles around him from a very young age. He seemed quite glad for it, actually, and many times expressed his embarrassed gratitude that so many things were piled on Tobirama’s shoulders rather than his own, more than aware that there were certain things he simply wasn’t equipped to handle. Being ungrateful for what talents he did get blessed with was simply not in his nature and there was a pure sort of honesty in that which couldn’t be found in many others.

Carrying his bowl to the spot next to his husband, Tobirama sank down and took up his chopsticks immediately with a mumble of itadakimasu under his breath before digging in. Madara shook his head with what he chose to interpret as fond exasperation.

“Don’t let me interrupt whatever you were talking about before I arrived.” Tobirama flicked his chopsticks dismissively but Hashirama only shook his head as well.

“Nothing important. We were just regaling Mito with everything that happened in the meeting.”

Tobirama hummed, chewing through another bite. “I didn’t hear much from either of you today. Honestly Anija, you need to assert yourself more. Sometimes I could almost forget you were there.”

“I get bored!”

“You’ll need to do this yourself when you inherit the clan; you can’t always just let your brain fall asleep in meetings. Honestly.”

“But…” Hashirama wrinkled his nose with a sigh. “Yeah, you’re right.”

Tobirama peeked sideways at his husband. “I didn’t hear much out of you today either, which is much more odd than it is for him. Is everything alright?” He was relieved to see Madara give him a casual shrug and a reassuring pat on the knee.

“Everything’s fine, I just had something else on my mind is all, an idea of sorts, but it’s not fleshed out enough to put it before the council.”

“I don’t supposed you’d like to share with the class?” Tobirama asked.

“Give me a little bit to think it through some more. There’s something just on the tip of my tongue, per se. I know it’s there but I can’t quite figure out…bah, you’ll understand when I tell you about it.” Madara harrumphed a little and looked around the table. “Change the subject. I’m done with thinking for the day.”

From her seat across the table Mito lifted one carefully shaped brow at him. “I wasn’t aware you had ever begun.”

Hashirama flustered his way through trying to scold his wife without insulting her while at the same time diffusing his best friend without making it sound like he was taking sides. Watching the three of them and their dramatics was much more entertainment for Tobirama than thinking about all the meetings. As necessary and admittedly fascinating as he found politics and bureaucracy he’d learned years ago that it was just as important to let his brain turn off sometimes and refresh itself. Oftentimes doing so allowed him to come back to his work the next day with fresh ideas he wouldn’t have been able to come up with in the overworked, frazzled state he saw too much of around the tower these days.

Dinner was pleasant, a nice couple of hours spent catching up with the brother and sister-in-law he should really spend more time with. The evening grew dark outside as they all sat sipping tea around the table. Mito engaged him with descriptions of the seal books she was hoping to have delivered for his birthday while Hashirama and Madara chattered on about some sort of nonsense he tried not to listen to. The two of them had a tendency to get involved in the most random and nonsensical shenanigans when left alone together for too long and Tobirama had decided that not knowing was safer. As long as no one got hurt and he didn’t have to help clean up it was best to just let them have their fun, enjoying their own sort of distraction from work in the form of brief stupidities.

When they finally left it was with full bellies and eyes drooping, ready for sleep after a pleasant evening spent letting the world pass them by. It was nice to return home and wander upstairs together to go through their nightly routines. They had already slipped under the sheets and wrapped around each other when Tobirama blinked as the ceiling with a light frown.

“I forgot to ask you again what you were thinking so hard about during the meeting. Do you still need time to get your thoughts straight?”

“Hm? Oh, that. Actually I suppose you would probably be a good person to help me with it since it’s something you’ve done on a smaller scale for a while now. I was thinking- you know how you train Kagami?” Madara shifted against him but Tobirama was busy frowning up at the shadows above them.

Curious but not seeing where this was going yet he said, “Yes, I am aware of my own student.”

“He only learns from you. Only your perspective, only your jutsu, only when you have the time available after leaving the office.” Twitching, he hurried to add, “Not that I’m saying you don’t give him enough! It’s just…a little scattered to be the norm, don’t you think?”

Frowning a little deeper, Tobirama was forced to nod slowly. “I suppose so. There are many days I wish I had more time to give him. Sometimes I give up my lunch hour as well but that’s not something I can do all the time.”

“Right. And it’s something that’s probably prevalent in all of the clans unless they have someone specifically dedicated to training the younglings.”

“Which would only present the same problems you mentioned before.”

“Yes!” Madara squirmed against him as though so excited by the idea about to burst forth he could not contain himself, a sentiment Tobirama could certainly relate to. “So I was thinking that perhaps the children of Konohagakure could use a more formalized education and it’s been plaguing me for days the best way to do that. Obviously pulling all the seasoned shinobi away from their jobs all the time wouldn’t be a great idea – imagine the chaos of undone paperwork – but then I thought, well, what about an academy?”

Despite the many talks he’d had with himself about this very subject Tobirama could no more stop the rush of heat through his veins than he could have stopped the tides.

“A formalized academy just for training the next generation here in a safe environment,” he whispered slowly.

“Well, that was the idea anyway. I’m not sure if it’s a realistic project or just a pipe dream; I don’t even know where to begin on setting it up. They would need a curriculum of some sort and indicators of passing certain skill levels – tests? And who would teach them? You would know a lot more about all of that than I woul- ah!”

Madara cried out with surprise as Tobirama rolled them both over without warning and bent to ravage his husband’s mouth, unable to hold himself back any longer. One arm took his weight so he could lift the other to cup that glorious, startled face and tilt them together, taking and taking in a way he was always so careful not to do when they kissed. All thoughts of the boundaries he had set for himself fled like smoke in the wind.

Incredibly, he was not pushed away. Rather than toss him across the room for taking such liberties Madara groaned and melted under the onslaught, responding with what fervor he knew, and Tobirama had to suppress the urge to snarl his approval because it would have meant pulling himself out of the moment. With his free hand dancing over the body underneath he almost managed to forget himself until he realized his muscles were tensing with the intention of rolling his hips and pressing just a little too far past those boundaries he had already thrown away.

Both of them were panting a little when the kiss finally ended but Tobirama couldn’t bring himself to pull away more than the inch or so he needed to drop his forehead against Madara's with a dazed look in his eye.

“I have never been more attracted to you,” he blurted, still wrapped up in the surprise that Madara's big idea was to provide a better future for the children of their village. Never had it been so hard to hold back the words he knew his partner wasn’t ready to hear.

“Oh. Um.” Blinking up at him, Madara seemed to flip through a few different expressions before he settled on hesitant interest. “I wouldn’t mind you, uh, expressing that a little more.”

“You-?” Tobirama blinked. That wasn’t at all what he’d been expecting.

Although to be fair he’d had no idea what to expect since he’d been so careful after the night he came home too drunk to restrain the passions that wanted so badly to come out, not when he knew it would be all too easy to place a hand in the wrong spot, to pull at clothing in the wrong way, small gestures that would feel so natural in the moment but would lead to things he knew were off limits. Rather than tempt himself or earn his partner’s displeasure it was better to set a limit and stay on the other side of it. He was very good with limits – sometimes.

His laboratory would tell other stories.

Perhaps, however, there were other variables that he hadn’t considered. Things like the fact that he’d never bothered to ask where Madara had placed his own boundaries. Coming from two different cultures meant he didn’t have a solid idea of what was going on inside that thickly maned head.

“How about,” he murmured, tilting his head to the side and bending to nose at the length of neck exposed to him, “you tell me when you would like me to back off. And maybe also when you might like me to keep going.”

“I think I can do that,” Madara breathed.

Not even the draw of such an interesting new concept or the continuous stress of having to deal with the superfluous feud between their fathers was enough to break through the bubbling thrill of having Madara pull him in again and moan softly at the glide of his hand, playing with the edges of a well-worn sleep shirt without yet slipping underneath it. Tomorrow he would have a lot on his mind but for now all Tobirama wanted to think about was the way Madara's body felt warm underneath him, the way inquisitive fingers traced patterns on his back, and the impossible possibilities that might not be quite as impossible as he’d been thinking they were.

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! What's something the peoples of your world are working towards, their hope for tomorrow? Do they await the return of a god or a lost king, or do they work for greater international cooperation? Maybe they're striving for the stars, or to explore the depths of the seas? Tell us about the BIG picture of your world. What kind of legacy do they hope the next generation will inherit?

Ohoho, I love this question! Thanks for asking ^.^

So Obroth (the world where A Foreign Princess takes place) has 134-141 countries (depending on how you count them), 8-ish continents, and many island kingdoms. As such, there isn’t really a world-wide effort toward anything. At least, not this early in Obroth’s history.

(My plan for this world is to have five books taking place within a 20-30ish year period, and then another five that each jump forward in time, taking the world from medieval-ish to space faring)

Although the world is decently connected (thanks to several strong sea-faring cultures and fairly easy access to magic), most countries are still primarily concerned with themselves and their immediate neighbours.

For example, approximately 150 years prior to the start of A Foreign Princess, the Empire of Beryia was torn apart by a civil war that pulled in the other countries on the Afryian continent. When the dust settled, there were now seven countries, and a collection of eight calling themselves the United Territories of Afrye. Tensions are still high - especially between the UTA and Beryladia - and the while most of the Imperial Family of Beyria was killed during the war, there were a few unaccounted for. Beryladia is held in trust by a High Council for the return of the Imperial Family, while the UTA, Whesium, Heisau, and Astysil have people actively trying to track the missing royals down in order to kill them. Otryna, Zeruat, and Caithistan are more wary of the UTA than of a potentially non-existent royal resuming their place is Beryladia.

Closer to home, at least for the initial books, Chesnia is trying to bring Eswold back into the fold. Eswold started out as a small religious sect that had some key differences in the gods they recognize, and how they worship. The sect became the scapegoat of a Chesnian Queen 500-odd years ago, which eventually led to an uprising. I wouldn’t quite classify it as a full-blown civil war, but the sect ended up centralizing to some of the outer islands, and ceding from the rest of Chesnia. Since then, Chesnia and Eswold have been fighting for possession (off-and-on) of various islands.

Most Chesnians view the Eswoldes as pirates and scoundrels - a view the royal family certainly encourages. The Eswoldes, on the other hand, only have a mild dislike of the average Chesnian, but they rabidly hate the royal family.

Both are strong sailors, though Chesnia (obviously) has far greater ships at their disposal, but Eswold’s ground forces are significantly stronger, leading to a sort of bitter stalemate. Land ownership is fought and decided through propaganda, espionage, and convoluted legal shenanigans. The two countries rarely engage in direct combat (sea or land). Chesnia’s ultimate goal is to engulf Eswold, while Eswold’s goal is to have uncontested supremacy over their lands (and to be recognized on the world stage and not just by a handful of sympathetic countries)

Then there’s the countries that are directly involved in A Foreign Princess - Elgovina and Asdarant.

These two countries have set themselves up as diametrically opposed. Elgovina is a warm, humid land of forests, farms, and the world’s largest concentration of magical Dead Zones. Asdarant is cool and mountainous with rich mines and a significant occurrence of Magic Deposits. That little bubble of land between the two countries is known as ‘the Throat’ and is considered no-mans-land.

The original feud between the lands has been long forgotten (it was a petty trade dispute), but the people of both countries happily continue the hostilities.

Elgovina, at the start of A Foreign Princess, is under the control of a Seneschal because the original Crown Prince went missing and is presumed dead, with the King dying shortly afterwards, leaving behind the second son to eventually take the throne. He’s only 9 at the start of AFP.

Onan, the Seneschal, has directed the country’s attention toward the vicious harpy attacks from Asdarant and is inciting anger and fear in order to drum up support for starting a full-out war with Asdarant. His reasons for such are a bit spoilery, so I won’t go into them here ;)

Gundabald, the King of Asdarant, has long struggled with the prejudices of both his countrymen and those of people from other countries. He has a grand vision for the country, and is only just beginning to put his plan into action. A plan that will bring respect, wealth, and power to his people. If the radical changes don’t make the Asdarantan people revolt.

... I think I might have gotten a little off topic from your original question. Whoops! lol

But I do love gushing about this world ^.^ Thanks again for asking!

xoxo

Oops

I meant to do this earlier, but I got a little busy and it slipped my mind. Here's a list of the scenario requests that I got. I'm going to try to do all of these, but I will admit, there are a few that I'm iffy about because they include things that I've struggled to write before. I'm still going to try, though, because practice makes perfect, right? The list is under the cut!

Hey! I’m so glad you’re back I love your writing! So I dunno if this is what you are looking for but a while back when you were deciding what scenarios to do for the follower event there was a Luffy option that didn’t end up winning. I was wondering if I could request you write that? I think it was about him being oblivious and not catching onto the readers nsfw intentions or something? I just remember I thought it was a really cool idea! It’s totally cool if you are looking for new ideas tho!

Hello! I saw your post saying requests were open and I was wondering if I could request a scenario with Law re-meeting his former SO after thinking she was dead for years? Not like she purposely left him but something happened where she disappeared and he assumed she died? (If there could be NSFW too it'd be much appreciated but no big deal if you don't think it fits 💕) thank you so much in advance! And if you decide not to do this one right now, no worries 😊 I understand completely! Thanks!

Oooh ooh ooh! Since your NSFW Mirio stuff has been awesome, how about him figuring out what dirty talk/pet names turn on f! reader by accident and using them throughout the day to turn them on so they go nuts when they're alone? I feel like Mirio is a "pet" or "kitten" kinda guy/more playful than filthy, but who knows with the right partner? Sunshine boy needs love after last week's episode!

LOVE your scenarios! How about Kaminari with someone who's still a little reserved about showing him what she likes in bed and he "encourages" her so much she ends up squirting? Thank you!!!

Hello! Could I get a nsfw scenario for kurogiri where his always composed wife basically jumps him at the door and deliriously begs him to fuck her please? Maybe she works with chemicals and she accidentally created something that caused her to be this way?(bonus if add a bit of overstimulation for the reader) Have a nice day!

Thanks for clarification! Could I request an nsfw Hiryu Rin x reader where its their first time (doing you know what) together?

(This one might actually be covered under one of the 1000 follower event winners. I’ll have to check.)

Hi wonderful! Happy 2020, may your year be filled with happiness, motivation and creativity!! Could I request a little scenario of when Eustass Kid realises he has feelings for a female crew member? What situation do you think would be the moment when the petty drops?

Hi! There's a startling lack of content for Stain from BNHA, so could you write an NSFW scenario between him and an ex-S/O who's a hero? I'm not sure about anything specific so please feel free to take creative liberty with his request. Thank you so much for your blog! It's one of my favs~

People aren't sending you many?? But you're so good! In that case, how about NSFW Midoriya/fem s/o where she's feeling some kinda way about her body scars and he reminds her that she doesn't feel bad about his scars by turning her on?

Can i request a Nsfw thigh riding scenario with overhaul

Ah I hope I'm not too late for this? Would you please do a scenario for Katakuri from one piece? Big Mom has set him up an arranged marriage and he is meeting his new bride for the first time?

for the scenario requests, can i have something based on bakugou’s letter I from the nsfw alphabet?

Can i have a head canon where the ASL brothers have a little sister (that they are protective over) that actually really wants to become a marine and their reactons(and garps too if possible) to it.

(I know that this is a headcanon request and that I was only accepting scenarios, but...I immediately got an idea for a scenario to write for it, so...)

Could I request a scenario where reader has been very tired lately so they sleep in but wake up at noon feeling bad because they didn’t make breakfast for Tamaki (like they usually do) but he surprises them with breakfast in bed and they just eat and laugh and it’s super fluffy! I hope this isn’t too specific and thank you in advance if you decide to write this! 💕

Hi! I hope you're doing fine :3 Can I request some fluff for todoroki x fem reader where she's taking care of him and staying at her house and both of them got used to be around each other day and night... And the decided to live together? Xd they are already a couple. Thank u!

Hiya Kel! Wanted to give other folks time to request before I came back in with my Kenpachi shenanigans cx If you're up for it I'd like to humbly request a scenario of Kenpachi and reader on their wedding night! I went to a wedding last week and it's got me feelin some kinda way. If it's not your cup of tea that's fine, I'm just happy to see you back again =D Happy New Year!
