𝐎𝐂 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐒! || Accepting - For Canons as well

Hoo buddy I'm gonna end up having to mark this as long post when I'm done with it.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Doing these two together since they're twins w/ the same family of course. Velvet I believe does not like her parents while Veneer does. I feel like there's a good chance they were either given too much attention or not enough attention. It's hard to say actually. It's mentioned in the movie that their parents were dentists and while most doctors are usually on call/quite busy and I could see them not having a lot of time to spend with their kids, I don't think the same could be said about dentists { I could be wrong }. There IS the possibility that they also got spoiled by their parents, considering in the one 'flashback' we get of them, there's quite a few sweets on the table. { Kinda odd for a couple of dentists since most seem to be against anything sugary-- }.

As for Velvet and Veneer's relationship w/ each other, Velvet has some love for her brother like I've said before, but at the same time she's not above manipulating him. Veneer on the other hand outright states that he loves his sister and doesn't want to go against her. Whether this is because he loves her or he's afraid of her is hard to tell. It could be a mix of both.

Nimue ;; She gets along with her mother quite well actually! Considering that's the only part of the family who actually cares for her { Well, was, until her brother came along as she got older. The one she didn't even know about because he's technically her half brother so when his father split from her mother, he took his son with him. } Ratih and her father on the other hand do not like her at all. Her father believes she's a cursed child { And actually didn't want another child to begin with } and Ratih hates that their mother basically took all the love away from her. { Unfortunately when Nimue was born, their mother did focus on her more often than not } So because of this, Ratih actually hates Nimue for this.

Negaduck ;; Currently I have no familial headcanons for him just yet, mostly because we don't even get as much of a hint even for Drake's family so it's hard to work off anything with him. However, I DO NOT headcanon his parents as abusive, and I never will. I actually despise that headcanon with every fiber of my being.

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

Velvet ;; Oh she can fall asleep quite easily. More often than not she does wear that eye mask people have sometimes to help but she doesn't really need it. Even during the whole Troll fiasco, she slept like a baby without a care in the world.

Veneer ;; He on the other hand struggles sometimes to sleep if he's got worry on the mind. Or if he feels like something he's done is wrong. I can see him listening to white noise or more calming sounds { Like those ocean waves or raining sounds people play to relax } in order to get himself to settle and fall asleep.

Nimue ;; She does not, she has nightmares on a regular basis so she keeps herself awake on purpose and focuses on her work or whatever she can until her body finally shuts down. There is no helping her sleep. The only exception is if she's curled up with someone she trusts quite a bit that she actually feels safe with them.

Negaduck ;; Pretty sure he can fall asleep easily, but I also imagine he's a light sleeper and constantly has his guard up.

🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I'd say May 25th maybe? { Purposely slaps it under a gemini zodiac on purpose bc twins }. Velvet probably doesn't care enough while Veneer's probably all for celebrating, which means Velvet usually gets dragged into celebrating anyways.

Nimue ;; October 31st; Yes, she's a Halloween baby. But she actually prefers to celebrate Halloween over her birthday and hasn't actively told anyone when her birthday is unless the subject comes up or someone asks. There have been cases where people have known her for years and she hadn't told them.

Negaduck ;; I'd say... August 1st. { Slamdunking him under the Leo Zodiac heck you }, and absolutely not.

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?

Kinda sort of skipping this one bc honestly I don't think any of them would have allergies? Aside from the standard like, if pollens too high it makes them sneeze a lot or something.

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

Also sort of skipping this one because ?? This is a bit more difficult for me to answer. Velvet sees a different perspective on things while Veneer sees the truth { gestures to the fact that Velvet thought they were basically nobodies who were poor and helpless while Veneer states they quite literally lived in the suburbs and basically had a good life. } As for Nimue her childhood memories often blur together and she likes to forget them for very obvious reasons. As for Negaduck, he chooses to toss the fact he even had a childhood away and has forgotten his actual civilian identity and life.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Nimue ;; Answering this one rq in the middle of all the others bc it was the next one on the post list. But uh... there wasn't actually much inspiration behind Nimue funnily enough. I've mentioned this before I think but Nimue actually started off as a throwaway villain character that eventually was kept and shaped to what she is now. I decided that while I didn't want her to be evil, I wanted her to be morally grey so that she could go down either path depending on who influenced her. It left more options open for writing, and while I haven't gotten to write her going down a worse path and only usually good ones, I do hope that maybe changes sometime in the future.

📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what's their favourite genre?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I'd wager these two do not care for reading, while Veneer might be more likely to read, it's probably very seldom. Not too sure what his favorite genre would be just yet though....

Nimue ;; She does enjoy reading and it can vary depending on her mood. Like when it comes to movies, her go to's are usually horror, mystery, or sometimes romance { gasp }. Also she may or may not read manga from time to time-

Negaduck ;; No. But he'll read newspapers if he has to.

🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?

Velvet ;; Hm... She's a little hard to say for this one, mostly because she'd be quick to turn her head away from anything if it's not 'good enough'. She also doesn't feel the need to recieve presents because she can just buy whatever the hell she wants. And no, she's terrible at gift giving, she'd most likely get someone something she likes and thinks they'll like because she likes it. Of course this could change if she actually gets to know the person but otherwise, don't expect her to try.

Veneer ;; I feel like he'd be happy to recieve anything, even if he could just buy it himself. Though he'd be a little difficult about it and try to play it off that he's not actually happy about it, he'll eventually give in and actually show otherwise. As for gift giving, I'd think he pay a little more attention to what the person likes compared to his sister and actually get them something they want.

Nimue ;; She literally does not care. Any and all gifts are important to her. As for giving, she struggles quite a bit and often resorts to hand making more practical gifts.

Negaduck ;; He does not care, nor does he really accept gifts most of the time? He rarely gets them for others either, unless it's his Gosalyn.

🍼 BABY BOTTLE - what are their thoughts on children?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Aside from thinking they're both too young to have children, Velvet actually dislikes most kids and often thinks they are brats while Veneer is more likely to be a little nicer to them.

Nimue ;; It's probably obvious, but Nimue does like children and eventually wants one of her own one day.

Negaduck ;; He's iffy about kids in general but of course he has Gosalyn and he doesn't outright hate them. He'd also never actively hurt one despite how 'rotten' he says he can be.

🔪 KNIFE - how do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I don't care what you say, these two would stick their necks out for each other if it came down to one or the other getting severely hurt. Which is one of the reasons I hate the abusive Velvet hc so much. Velvet would never let any harm actually come to Veneer if she could help it, and I feel like Veneer would be quick to be by her side if anything happened. Of course if anyone actually became close to either of the twins, this would also be true for them too.

Nimue ;; Is VERY likely to instantly choose violence the moment ANYONE important to her got hurt. She doesn't tolerate it one bit. She's not a violent person, but by god you're in for hell if you actually hurt someone important to her.

Negaduck ;; It's Negaduck, he's gonna commit murder on whoever did it.

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Pretty sure they'd have like... a playlist of 80's and 90's songs { side-eyes their cover of Sweet Dreams }. I don't know if they'd have a favorite artist though, just an in general enjoyment for the 80's and 90's. Though I do think they might listen to some other genre's here and there / find inspiration from other genres.

Nimue ;; Her playlist is absolutely mixed, between kpop, rock, pop, and a bunch of others. Being a singer herself, she also finds inspiration by listening to other musicians and genres { Fun fact; In her Trolls verse she was actually big fans of Velvet and Veneer until the truth came out. Despite what they've done however, she thinks they have potentinal to come back out on top if they just practice }

Negaduck ;; I... don't know actually? He doesn't really strike me as the type to listen to music.

🎤 MICROPHONE - are they good at singing? what is their go-to karaoke song?

Negaduck ;; He probably can, since it's shown that Darkwing/Drake can. But he does not. He refuses to actually.

🎷 SAXOPHONE - do they play any instruments? are they any good at it?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I do not believe they play any instruments, this can change down the road depending on what I do with them but as of right now they do not.

Nimue ;; She learned how to play piano a bit thanks to her mother and she is good at it, she just hasn't in awhile since she hasn't needed to for any reason.

Negaduck ;; Absolutely not, he'd rather be dead than be caught playing an instrument.

🎀 RIBBON - how would they fit into other worlds / aus? what aus would you like to try out? what fictional world would they fit / not fit into?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I find them rather easy actually, any way I look at it, they'll always somehow end up being singers. Most cases however it'll be that they're often rude/can't keep an assistant which is why they struggle to stay on top, because nobody wants to deal with them. { Usually Velvet though }. I haven't thought of any that they wouldn't fit into yet but I'm sure I'll run into something eventually.

Nimue ;; I specifically have a way to set her into different universes so I've yet to find one I couldn't just yet. I will say the one I struggle with the most though is her Sonic AU which it's hard for me to decide if she stays as a human or becomes Mobian. For the most part I do have her staying as a human though.

Negaduck ;; He's... a little more on the difficult side of shoving into AU's, if only because he'd just... become a villain right off the back, but also considering he's basically just Darkwing's opposite it's a little more difficult in my opinion.

❄️ SNOWFLAKE - do people consider them cold? if so, what made them this way?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Those who work with them do. Mostly because Velvet's just notoriously heartless { or she seems like it } and Veneer often follows in his sister's footsteps. For Velvet, it's all about keeping an image, and she'll do whatever it takes to keep that image.

Nimue ;; A little? But not completely. At first Nimue's mostly considered indifferent / uninterested which leads to people often avoiding her, but she does open up when approached. Albeit slowly due to trust issues.

Negaduck ;; He's viewed as more violent than cold, I think people are honestly just afraid of him because he's considered 'hot blooded'.

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Hm. This one's a little hard because I don't think either twin actually does look at the night sky. They're usually preoccupied with something or the lights in Mount Rageous are too bright to actually stargaze. It's like a fully lit city 24/7 so there's probably no decent view of the sky.

Nimue ;; It depends on what she's thinking about for the day, sometimes it's just looking back on the day in general other times she just wants to relax. More often than not she'd rather stargaze with a close friend or significant other if she can.

Negaduck ;; Does not think of anything nor does he spend his time stargazing.

💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Hrm... another hard one. I don't think these two ever really had anything get their heart really racing? Maybe Veneer did when they finally got cornered and he might've gotten spooked from it all / had to confess but other than that they seem really calm/collected when on stage. Also I... do not see either of them having had a previous love interest just yet so for them it hasn't really?? Happened.

Nimue ;; Anytime she gets caught in situations where she gets overly flustered or just overwhelmed in general. More often than not, being cornered is just enough. On the more negative side, being stuck in a crowd of people with no way out.

Negaduck ;; I don't really know about this either for him ?? I swear to god this man takes everything in stride.

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

Velvet ;; She doesn't know yet actually, she's more focused on rising to the top than she does focusing on a relationship or trying to find one. She does not believe in love at first sight either, thinks it's a cliche honestly.

Veneer ;; While like his sister, he's focused on rising to the top, he actually knows that he wants someone who will treat him well, that and someone who will be patient with him due to the fact his sister will probably be pushy about who he's with because of the whole 'only wants the best for him' thing. And if she doesn't think someone's suited for Veneer, she'll tell him. He also doesn't really believe in first sight, but he does know that attraction at first sight is a thing.

Nimue ;; While she doesn't actively go looking for relationships, Nimue does have a preference for people who have grown close to her. She only prefers that she's at least treated decently but also requires to have a long standing friendship with her. { Of course with some cases if she really gets along with the person, she may consider otherwise }. She does not believe in love at first sight, and thinks it's just something people use to ' get into other people's pants ' so to speak.

Negaduck ;; He doesn't really ? Look for anything at all. If he likes you, you'll know. And of course he doesn't believe in love at first sight, he's a pain in the ass about it in general.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they're in love?

Velvet ;; Kind of? She'll start to be a little nicer to the person in question, but that's probably the only hint you'll really get. That and she's more likely to actually spend time with the person.

Veneer ;; Oh absolutely, he's a little touchy and is likely to hold onto an arm/hand/have his arm around their shoulder as he gradually becomes more 'friendly' towards the other. He's also likely to just, show up with random gifts depending on if he finds something the person likes.

Nimue ;; No actually, then again it depends on how long the crush is going on for. The longer she doesn't say anything, the more obvious it slowly becomes. Mostly because she wants to say something but forces herself not to. Eventually it'll become really painfully obvious as she'd accidentally drop hints here and there that she likes someone.

Negaduck ;; He doesn't show it and refuses to show it. He'll only show a 'softer' side if he knows the person in question feels the same way or has broken down any walls he has up, but even then it's rather difficult.

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?

Velvet & Veneer ;; I'd say gift giving for both of them? Though Veneer strikes me as the type to also show some affection.

Nimue ;; Affection, hands down.

Negaduck ;; Genuinely? I do not know. It probably varies on his mood.

💙 BLUE HEART - do they miss their s/o easily? how do they act when their s/o isn't around?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Due to their line of work, I don't think they would. I think they'd be use to the times they're seperated honestly and still remain the same.

Nimue ;; Sometimes, but it's nothing she can't handle. It helps that she's sort of used to being alone so it's just a matter of continuing to do what she does until they come back.

Negaduck ;; No probably not, unless he knows they're never coming back then he'll probably go into his own type of grieving { violence }

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Can't really say too much on them just yet honestly. I'd wager maybe Veneer probably has a preference to be comforted by hugs himself maybe but doesn't show it / is used to Velvet giving him 'words of comfort'? Otherwise I'm not sure.

Nimue ;; Is all of the above the right answer? Because it's all of the above.

Negaduck ;; ...It's food. Though it's very seldom he actually needs to be comforted.

💖 SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

Velvet & Veneer ;; Oh god showy absolutely, after all I'm pretty sure they'd want people to know that their s.o belongs to them and them only. They don't want people getting the wrong idea and thinking that someone can just come along and take their s.o

Nimue ;; Subtle, she prefers to keep things quiet for the most part though she doesn't mind if her partner's more showy than she is.

Negaduck ;; Subtle, unless he has a reason to be showy.

💌 LOVE LETTER - do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

The only one I really see writing 'love letters' is Veneer and I feel like he'd leave little texts for his s.o at the very least. They're usually simple 'love you's and stuff like that for the most part but that's about it.

💔 BROKEN HEART - what could their partner do that would absolutely break their heart?

Cheating, across the board. That's the worst thing you could literally do to any of them and is the easiest way to get broken up with in the end.

Do you have Faroe Islands and Aaland islands OCs? 😊 Or other children of the Nordics. How do you view them? I would like to know

I do have Faroe and Åland oc's though they're both kinda work in progresses still 😅

for a total list you have

Denmark's kids

Kalmar Union - Henrik (deceased)

Kristiania - Benedikte

Sweden's kids

Åland - Kristiina

New Sweden - Johan (deceased)

Ladonia - Arvid

Norway's kids (not particularly in age order; my man got around during the viking age lmao)

Shetland - Liv

Orkney - Bodil

Faroe - Ida

Iceland - Ari

Isle of Man - Erik

Caithness - Ailsa

Sutherland - Solveig

Greenland - Sia

Helluland - Anders (deceased)

Markland - Aksel (deceased)

Vinland - Dagny (deceased)

how I view all of them would be a really long post so i'll just do what I have for Åland because out of the two you asked for I have more on her haha ( side note; I hc Finland as being trans and all three of Sweden's kids were mothered by Fin)

So anyway; Kristiina was born in the 1380s around the same time Kastelholm Castle was built. That makes her younger than all of Norway's kids by a good 300 years, but older than Denmark's oldest by about 10-15 years (aka her and Henrik were physically about the same age). Her childhood was interesting, cause not only was it a time when upper class/noble parents weren't all that involved in raising their children but also Björn wasn't around all that often, and Kasper really didn't get along all that well with Björn at the time and was distant not wanting to acknowledge they had a child together. All of her cousins were either far older, or had more responsibilities than her; because I do believe her and Henrik did a few years of their basic schooling together he reached about ten and suddenly was being taught things 'not appropriate for young ladies'. So she's alone again.

In August of 1521 when Harald and Björn got into their Last Big Fight, the Straw that would break the camels back; all she remembers about actually leaving are snippets where she woke up to her papa carrying her, and her parents whisper arguing about something (she couldn't tell you what). She was told she woke up at some point and asked where they were going but was just told not to worry about it, and to be quiet. There was a year or two where she was left in Lübeck in Germany with a couple different people to watch over her. She didn't really see either of her parents for those two years, they didn't even technically come back for her. A letter just came one day asking for her to brought to Stockholm. At the time she was just relieved to see her parents again, but now she sometimes look back at it in a bittersweet way, it took two years of being apart for them to be excited to see her.

I'm gonna jump forward to 1809; she's about fifteen physically when Finland and Åland are ceded to Russia. For the first time in her life she had no one to speak to except her mother, Kristiina had always gravitated towards Björn because he never well... he never seemed as if he regretted her existence, to be blunt. Even when he was gone on months long trips for some reason or another she would beg to go with him to avoid being stuck with just her mother. But her uncle was there at least, and Kasper turned into an entirely different person around Kalev; a happier person, even if comparatively the situation was worse.

It was still super odd for Kris, she had been around mostly her dads family her entire life and suddenly she's been moved from her home and is interacting far more with her mom's side of the family (her Finnish is iffy at best at this point). And her mother, a woman she had always known to be very quiet and fidgety was suddenly loud and always getting in dumb fights with her siblings. The big turning point in their relationship would be a fight they would get into where something along the lines of "Don't you want to go back to Stockholm? Don't you want to go home?" "Stockholm was never home." would be said.

jumping to modern day bc i'm bored

she's kind of distant by now, her relationship to both her parents became odd once she went to live by herself, and even a little more when Arvid was born because both of her parents were happy about him and it upsets her seeing them treat him differently.

It's not as if her relationship with them is absolute garbage, and she's bitter and isolates herself now. She's just an adult, and there's things from her childhood, and with her relationships to her parents she's had to reconcile. I think she's accidentally become very close to Kalev because he seemed like Kasper's opposite while still being family and someone she could see regularly. She did want to be apart of Sweden again for a little bit, but not in a 'would be upset if it didn't happen' way because she is also trying to be on better terms with Kasper.

I don't know... she just had a long and complicated childhood most nations do, and now she's just doing her best to hang on to the things she did like about it, while also trying to forget most of it? If that makes sense.

also kinda random side note: I think she prides herself on being more 'quiet and stoic' like Sweden but anyone who's been around her for more than five minutes knows she is neither of those things and is far more like Finland. Though no on is going to tell her that.

#hws åland #hws sweden #hws finland #sorry this took so long!!#hetalia #i know it's kinda rambly and long i'm bad at talking about oc's personalities without giving entire histories about them

SR Boss Asks Answers

I realised how much space long reblogs take up on the reblog page (yeah, I'm new to tumblr) so I've copied this onto a new post.

But yeah, did them all, and I implore anyone who wants to talk about their Boss to do these, because even if no-one reads it, it was fun. There were a couple of things I didn't really think about, like the #16 Casey-cat moment which is my new favourite thing.

#17 is something I've just done a longer post on.

Apologies for formatting issues.

1.What’s their backstory? Cassandra ‘Casey’ Michaiła Clark was born in Stilwater. Her dad left when she was very young citing that he couldn't handle two kids. Ofc he leaves and has two kids with his new wife and barely sees Casey and her sister. He later claims he wanted to leave their mom, not them. Her sister rightfully points out that for all her flaws, their mom never actually stopped him seeing them so that's on him.

Her mom was from a slightly more affluent background than her dad (they met in college but dropped out when her mom got pregnant) and they were scraping by until he left. After that, her mom worked very hard to maintain the appearance to the outside world that they were not struggling with money, even though it sent them into debt. She was always very judgemental and religious, but also had a genuine anxiety disorder. She eventually got addicted to Xanax and would drag Casey with her to make excuses like that she'd flushed her last lot down the toilet/took them to school and they got confiscated etc.

It got to the point where she was pretty checked out and Casey's sister had to make sure they were getting to school on time, that there was food on the table etc.. When she was 14, her sister left home and this derailed her pretty bad.

Her best friend Mori(OC: Moriarty Alleyne- hoping to post more about him soon)'s mom Angela was instrumental in taking care of her from about the age of 12. She always made sure Casey was fed when at her house and gave her some of Mori's old clothes when she outgrew her sister's hand-me-downs. She did try to help where she could but wasn't fully aware of the situation for a long time. Even though Mori's friendship with Casey became a little strained due to his girlfriend disliking her, Angela would still invite her around.

When Casey was 15 her mom caught her making out with a girl she liked and it led to her mom throwing her out of the house. She stayed with Mori and Angela for two weeks straight but Angela started saying Casey should go check on her mom, and offers to go with her- having realised by this point that drugs are involved she's worried her mom might have OD'ed (Casey doesn't realise that's why until years later). Casey assures her she has been in contact with her mom (technically she has been, she's been sent texts about repenting her sins and guilt trips about leaving her at home the whole time) and pretends to go home but obviously can't.

So instead she finds herself on Saints Row at a really stupid time of night and… well, you know… Saints Row happens.

2. How old were they when they first joined the Saints? Fifteen, almost sixteen. Weird little angry kid born 29th June 1990. I think she has pretty obvious millenial tastes and tendencies. I find the post-SRIV dynamic pretty fascinating actually. She probably has a lot more in common with Pierce and Shaundi who I hc as similar ages compared to Johnny who is xennial, Kinzie and Asha who I think are borderline millenial/gen z, and 110% zoomer Matt. Then you've got Keith and Ben complaining that the ship is ran by kids and CID, Jane and Jezebel being extreme outliers to the whole thing.

3. Did they have a happy childhood? I mean overall she says it wasn't terrible. She had some nice moments with her sister. Kinzie calls her backstory "tragic" when she hears it and Casey disagrees calling it "just, y'know, a bit shitty". She heard stories of other kids going through physical and sexual abuse, she saw how Mori was affected by his dad's death and had to help him through some very dark times with his depression. She doesn't class her borderline sociopathy as a mental health issue until much later on. She starts therapy around the time the Saints rise to fame, around 2012-2013.

4. Do they have any siblings? Yes, she has a sister called Phoebe who is approximately 4 years older than her and as above, pretty much had to raise her. She left home when she was 18 which led Casey to feel pretty abandoned all over again, especially because she didn't fully understand her reasons.

5. Did they graduate high school? What about college? No, she dropped out of high school. She had plans to study English Literature at college had she got that far. She held on to school for almost a year after Phoebe left, still scraping Bs, but eventually it all took its toll. She got a job as a dishwasher in a small restaurant. If it wasn't for stealing food off of plates for a few months she wouldn't have had the muscle mass for the physical strength she displays in the first game.

6. What’s their sexuality?She self-defines as bisexual. Later she wonders if it should be pansexual. She didn't know what pan was in like 2003 when she was figuring it out, but either would fit her. Equally she would describe herself as panromantic but many of her friends assume she is fraysexual or otherwise arospec based on her choices around relationships.

7. What do they look for in a partner? She doesn't. She ignores or downright avoids that sort of interaction if possible. Suddenly becomes fucking mute again if she tries to talk about feelings. But she seems to be romantically attracted to people that are quite physically affectionate because she is very friendly emotionally but has trouble initiating non-sexual physical contact.

She does have the odd short-term partner, but tends to be drawn to people she doesn’t like all that much as something in her brain knows it won't last (talking days, I think her longest was like 10 days for many years). She has a lot of one-night stands/other casual hookups.

8. Are they currently dating anyone? Currently when? ;) Throughout the games, no, unless it’s a matter of days as described above. She's capable of romantic attraction but as above, doesn't want a relationship for practical reasons (actually fear) because a partner could be used against her.

9. Who do they love most in the world? Her friends. They are her family. She is unwavering on that. This doesn't change when she gets a partner or meets a blood relative from the pods. But it does shift a little some time in 2024.

10. Is there someone from their past they will never forgive?

Her parents. Anyone who contributes to the several deaths of her friends also but the difference there is that she doesn't let them live. So no need to forgive them. Hell she only considered letting Matt live because he reminded her of herself when she got dragged into the gang life at 15-16. The upgrades just sealed the deal.

11. What is their favorite food? Mori and his mom are Bajan-American so Barbadian food is a comfort food for her, especially salt fish and macaroni pie. Unfortunately none of the lieutenants stationed with her are of that heritage, so she often seeks out Carribean restaurants while still on earth. Phoebe's pecan pie is also a comfort, it was their grandma's recipe but she died when Casey was 6 and Phoebe was 9-10. Casey has the recipe but can't cook anything besides like frozen pizzas, instant ramen etc. She eventually tries to make the pie and realises burnt pecan pie is still good pecan pie! Despite this, lemon meringue pie is her favourite dessert. When the nice manager was on shift at the restaurant she would sneak her a piece every night. She also has a soft spot for fries because when she the dishwasher in the diner they were the easiest things to eat off plates before scraping them. Also pieces of burgers and ribs.

12. What are their pet peeves? She gets really restless when waiting on someone. Like she'll say meet at 2 and by the time Johnny gets there by 2.03 she's been pacing back and forth for five minutes. She doesn't mind all the gang being sarcastic with each other but if they all start talking each other at once she usually has to silence them. She is open to being called out on things like her white cis privelege or some of the hetronormative bias instilled by her background but she doesn't much like being challenged on some of her more bullshit 'rules' or lieutenants pushing back on her decisions once she's made them. She does eventually mature out of the latter.

13. What are some of their fears? Her biggest fear is losing someone she cares about. Unfortunately she's frequently had to live it. This is one of the things that contributes to her feelings on relationships.

14. How do they deal with injuries? Major: the Saints have a heavily bribed doctor in Stilwater, Steelport and DC. Minor: She usually asks Johnny to bandage if needed bc everyone else is too slow and gentle. Then more or less runs and hides until she's feeling better.

15. What is the MOST embarrassing moment in their life? That time she almost slow danced with Josh Birk at the 4th of July party is certainly up there.

16. Are they a cat or dog person? Cat, I think. I think she wouldn't have thought of herself of much a pet person in general because she grew up without any and she assumes she'd be too lazy to take care of them. But then she goes to a friends house who has a cat. Maybe Mori(which would be funny because his mom affectionately compares Casey to a stray cat). And she doesn't really know how to react around them so she's just kind of like "Sup.". Then the cat just kind of comes and sits on her lap and she's like… oh… warm! Soft. You are my new homie now.

17. Beside the 1950s sitcom, what else would their hell be?Again, just losing all the people she cares about. The only reason that was not her simulation is because Zinyak/the system he uses has a very shallow understanding of the human psyche, not surprising because Zin have a very conscious mind compared to humans where a lot is subconscious. This makes them fairly intelligent but also means they can adapt to changes due to their time travel easily because they just go "oh, a memory has changed.". See also: Pierce's simulation. Maybe everyone's.

18. Which death affects them the most? (Besides Johnny)

Oh this is different because they all impact such different areas of her life. Lin’s death probably had the greatest impact on her actions as a leader.She becomes very front-and centre/self sacrificing because of Lin.

On a more personal level I was going to say Carlos because she had pretty strong feelings for him but actually it's Aisha. Watching how her best friend, who she looks up to more than anyone and basically wanted to be, was just walking around with a piece of him missing really solidified her fear of relationships and anger at the injustice of life and death; things she might have otherwise grown out of/conquered with therapy.

19. What is their favorite music? She likes a pretty wide range of music because she doesn’t want to let anyone down by not following their recommendations and always finds at least one song she likes from the artists they like. Not taking that into account, she really likes '80s shit' and also ska but as a 00s teen she went through the pop punk phase pretty hard too.

20. What are some of their hobbies? Reading, definitely. Almost every spare moment when she gets to the stage where there are spare moments. In high school, Yu-Gi-Oh cards were big for her. Tbh she is pretty nerdy but because she's so technologically challenged her friends don't seem to pick up on that. I feel like in an AU 2020 she would get really into cottagecore during the pandemic then get really pissed because she can't bake or draw or knit.

2023 🎉🎉🎉

Ok new year and I thought since this blog is basically an archive of my fandom art, I'd also archive some "milestone" art and archive my reflection for the last year. Basically, I love art and I've always wanted to one day publish my own original comic/graphic novel and I've had this dream art school that I've always wanted to go to and then senior year rolled around and... I didnt submit my portfolio. Partially due to financial reasons, but mostly because I just hated my art (like most artist) and so I decided to take a "gap year" to take online courses and "fix" my art, but then I just didnt have enough money to even finish the courses so i just really gave up yk. I got very demoralized about school in general and thought art would just be a hobby and I should consider getting a "real job" as many of my family members would say, it didnt help that all of my friends were leaving for college and I was stuck at home. And so in my loneliness, I then created this blog because I still wanted someway to do art and be creative and share stupid ideas about my favorite characters and honestly I really really really enjoyed making fandom art. And after getting out of my slump and getting much encouragement from my friends/dad and lots of nights staying up with my anxiety as company, I decided I really should just do it and submit the portfolio and if I get in I get in and I should not be afraid to get loans and not let my financial problems get in the way of my happiness and wants. So I talked to the admission counselor and finally submitted my Illustration (Entertainment Arts Track) portfolio to ✨Art Center: College of Design✨ and a couple months later I actually got accepted woooo

So I'm sharing my accepted ACCD portfolio to by no means flex my art, I mean the anatomy and perspective still needs a lot of work and my traditional art in general isnt the cleanest, but when talking to the admission counselor, she definitely did see my faults but she also pointed out how even if my technical work isn't as polished, thats exactly what school is for: to learn and get better! And to be surrounded by likeminded people who also have a passion for art (and make those industry connections!) And something more eye opening I learned from her was that art isnt suppose to be perfect and "realistic," especially in the entertainment arts industry, what matters more is telling the story and making compelling characters. While knowing every muscle of the human anatomy is useful, as long as you get the message and purpose across, its good! (I mean look at the origins of one punch man).

Corny message aside, for as much as I was stressed during the beginning of this year, I ended up really enjoying it after all. I'm still improving my art and I still have to worry about my financial issues and college, but overall I spent these last couple days with family/friends and doing personal art projects and I'm relatively happy with my art and my OCs. My SumRec comic will probably be postponed by like a week maybe cause I've been busy with family and friends and obviously I haven't been posting a lot of my fandom art due to RL stuff, but when I actually have alone time to work on it and im satisfied, then it will be posted !! So for anyone who read through this post, I hope you maybe get some enjoyment from my art portfolio and also enjoyed last year and I hope this new year will be even better !! (And if your an artist, keep going and creating !!) 🎉

Bonus: Not part of my portfolio, but during my junior year of high school, I wanted to actually complete an animation instead of a bunch of animatics, so I did! Its incredibly rushed and my old art is cringe, but it was my first completed animation of some very old OCs and their potential intro sequence if they had a TV showヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ:

#new years #accd #art center college of design #art center #accepted art portfolio #animation #thank you guys btw for the art support #you guys actually make tumblr quite comfy #have a good year!!

I'mma be selfish about those winter asks: all of them. All the couples/OCs. Your good content dragged me into this hell (AKA AU you made that is so good and fun to read and I look at when I want to enjoy stuff) and now you have to deal with me (enjoying it all).

STRAP YOURSELVES IN BOIS IT’S GONNA BE A LONG ONE–

(Separating by Ships rather than Questions so it’s easier to read. I also realize it’s not technically ALL the ships, but it is all the OCs. In my defence, this is long as hell lmao.)

Miacina:

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

Mia always makes hot chocolate for Alcina, mostly because if Alcina is going to have a hot beverage, hot chocolate isn’t her first choice. She’s more of a tea drinker. Of course, she’s always appreciative of Mia bringing her pretty much anything as a nice little gesture. And she has to admit, her wife really does make an excellent hot chocolate.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

Mia is a menace with Christmas music. Alcina loves the music as much as the next person who hasn’t worked retail, but it will be the beginning of November and Mia will go from Spooky Season right into Christmas Chaos and start digging out Alcina’s Christmas records.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

For a third time, Mia loves decorating the tree. Alcina’s happy to help her (Which usually just means getting the top and putting the star on), but for the most part it’s actually Daniela and Max who help Mia with getting the tree ready. Sometimes Cassandra helps, too.

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Alcina. Because she’s the one who can actually reach without a ladder. Mia is very adamant about helping, though.

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

Mia, for sure, though Christmas lights within the Village are kind of minimal. The other Lords sometimes have some nice lights set up, though. Granted they could probably dec out every room in the damn castle and do a tour of lights that way. (How do they get power for this? I dunno, probably a comically long extension cord from Heisenberg’s factory.)

6. Who bakes cookies?

Mia. She used to do it all the time with her grandma and mom as a kid, and she does her absolute best to try and make cookies even half as good as those. In an odd mirror of events, her and Melony make Christmas cookies together and it’s such an amazing bonding time for them both.

7. Who wraps the presents?

Alcina. You might think it’d be a pain in the ass for her… and it is. She usually ends up getting some of the maids to help her. Mia has tried but she’s actually not very good at wrapping stuff. (Plus she can get a little distracted.)

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Both of them. Look, sometimes the Duke has some good post-Christmas discounts and the two will buy each other a kind of “Christmas Bonus” gift (aka, one buys the other something they see that they REALLY want. Usually something that would cost an arm and a leg any other day)

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Mia always wants to, and then she actually goes outside and remembers how fucking cold it is. It doesn’t always stop her, though, Alcina has gone outside to find Mia slapping a pair of boobs onto a snowman. It’s actually a little sad watching Mia make snowmen on her own, since the girls can’t go out. Alcina usually ends up joining her.

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

Mia would, but that’s the one thing Alcina doesn’t really enjoy. Both because she’s at a huge disadvantage, but also because she’s a little worried about hitting Mia in the face too hard and hurting her. So the two of them don’t really do snowball fights.

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

Alcina, though Mia is always happy to cuddle her wife by the fire. They’re both always cold, especially in winter, so cuddling under a blanket while near a toasty fire and ripping hot chocolate is like heaven for them.

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

Alcina, even though she doesn’t wear a jacket because she can’t really… feel cold. But Mia has to be bundled up in 3-4 layers PLUS a big puffy coat otherwise she’ll whine about how cold it is. As you can imagine, it’s not the most flattering look.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

Again, not a huge thing in the Village, but Mia sometimes talks about how she always got excited for it.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Mia. Alcina isn’t going to tell her otherwise, either. Mostly because she can’t tell if Mia actually does still believe in Santa at 37 years old, or if she just enjoys the idea that Santa exists and pretends. Either way she finds it very cute.

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

Alcina. She holds one every year for the other Lords. They tend to go well, until someone gets far too drunk and a family spat happens and suddenly Mia and Moreau are fighting, Donna’s having a panic attack in the corner, Heisenberg’s hanging from the chandelier, Alcina’s ugly wine-drunk sobbing, and Miranda is about to kill everyone in a 500 foot radius if anybody looks her in the eye.

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

Mia, and she always manages to find the tackiest thing ever, that she’ll then have to bring to Donna and ask her to tailor the same thing for Alcina. Alcina despises the ugly sweaters. She finds them rather uncomfortable and itchy. But she can wear them for a little while to make Mia happy.

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Mia tries to, especially for Alcina, but it doesn’t always work out very well for her.

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Alcina, she knows Mia like the back of her hand and always manages to get the perfect gift for her small wife. But she always appreciates whatever Mia gives her for Christmas.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Mia, even though she could get a kiss from her wife literally any time she wanted. She insists the mistletoe kiss is special and for good luck. Alcina doesn’t believe that, but she’s also not going to turn down a kiss.

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Mia always wants to, but Alcina won’t let her. Sometimes she manages to get the girls in on singing carols with her around the castle, though. It bugs the staff immensely.

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

Bold to assume either of them can ice skate. Alcina has minimal experience with it, and Mia’s never really done it before. That said, they’d probably try to learn how to do it together and it’d be a really cute time of trying to help each other balance and whatever. They’re both falling on their asses, though.

Belena:

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

Bela is queen of randomly bringing Elena hot beverages in general. It’s usually tea, but she does bring Elena hot coco, and Elena always tells her how good it is. Bela doesn’t usually drink it herself, though. It’s mainly a thing she makes specifically for Elena.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

Way too early is a bit of an over statement, but Elena is the first one getting into the Christmas spirit in general, and therefore is the first of them listening to Christmas songs.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

Bela gets the most excited for it. She always loves doing the tree at Christmas time, even with her sisters being chaotic. She’s always found it to be a very nice family activity, and she has a lot of fond memories of it.

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Bela helps her mom put them up around the castle, as part of her Tall Person Privilege.

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

I think Elena would be the one who wants to go see Christmas lights. In some world or AU where they could, Elena would be dragging Bela out to go see them every other day. (Of course Bela would happily go with her. She just needs an extra layer or two.)

6. Who bakes cookies?

They’d try to bake cookies together, and I think they’d be pretty good with it. They’d be really basic chocolate chip cookies, though. Not anything fancy.

7. Who wraps the presents?

They usually wrap gifts together, though Bela usually ends up wrapping more because of Elena’s bad hand.

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Neither would brave the crowds of Black Friday, even if it is just the Duke. There’s nothing worth potentially being shoved around for they can’t get any other day.

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Most likely Elena, for old times sake, and Bela will watch from the window with the aforementioned hot chocolate waiting for her girlfriend to get cold and come inside to cuddle.

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

Also would probably be Elena if given the chance, and if it wouldn’t burn Bela’s skin off.

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

Bela’s a lot more adamant about sitting near the fire in the winter. Elena does want to join her, but she still has a bit of a hard time being too close to an open flame. She is trying to work on it. Because she feels bad making Bela either sit by the fire on her own, or have to stay with her on the couch/bed and settle for cuddling for warmth. (Bela insists she doesn’t mind. Elena still feels bad, though)

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

Hands down, Elena. It’s hard for Bela to find a jacket that actually fits her properly since she has a long torso.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

I think Bela would be really interested in seeing a Christmas parade, even if she doesn’t really understand the point of standing in the cold for an hour and a half watching cars pull giant decorated trailers down the road.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Bela, but she won’t actually admit that to anybody. She acts like she doesn't, to seem mature, and because Cass would 100% tease her about it. Because it’s fine when Daniela, the delusional childish baby of the family, believes in him. But Miranda forbid the eldest of them still does.

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

Probably Elena, but it would most likely just be a family get together more than a party. (If she… had any family left, anyway)

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

I like to think Elena would make them their ugly sweaters. Girl can knit, so they’re usually nice and soft, just with some ugly Christmas design. Bela loves them

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Elena mostly. And it’s usually clothing.

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Very dependent on which one you ask, Bela will argue Elena is always so thoughtful when it comes to gift giving which makes her the best, but Elena will argue Bela actually knows what to get everyone which makes her the best.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Bela, and she stands under it any chance she gets in order to receive a mistletoe kiss.

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Elena would want to go if other people were going, Bela would just go along to be supportive

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

Bela, because she’s never actually skated before. Because she literally can’t go outside to skate. Elena would love to teach her if they were ever given the opportunity, though.

Mecassa:

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

Melony will make Cassandra hot chocolate anytime she can during the cold months. It’s her way of making sure Cassandra stays warm, and she greatly appreciated it. Cassandra also makes Melony hot chocolate, even during summer months, though, because it’s her girl’s comfort drink.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

Neither of them really like Christmas music enough to listen to it early, though Melony probably starts singing carols sooner than Cassandra does.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

Melony, mostly because she’s never done it before. She has a lot of fun doing it, too, even if she can really only help with the lower branches.

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Cassandra, but she’ll lift Melony up so she can help out.

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

Melony, girl loves the look of Christmas lights. Especially the blinky colourful ones. If she could, she’d like to have them up all the time.

6. Who bakes cookies?

Obviously, Melony does with Mia. But Cassandra does pop in to “help” (aka; eat the raw cookie dough and be a general menace towards her girlfriend, and mom)

7. Who wraps the presents?

For the most part, it’s a Melony job. Cassandra does try to help, though. (And everyone can tell when Melony has wrapped one vs Cassandra)

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Cassandra, but she never actually buys anything. She mostly just goes to waste everyone’s time.

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Neither. Melony does’t really like the snow, and Cassandra can’t go out even if she wanted to.

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

See the previous answer. (Though it’d totally be Cassandra if she could go out.)

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

Mainly Cassandra. Catch her scooping Melony up and bringing her to the nearest fireplace so they can snuggle and be warm. Most of the time, Melony has no objection to this.

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

Melony, mainly because she’s the only one who wears a jacket between the two.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

Cassandra’s probably a lot more into the idea of a Christmas parade. I think Melony would end up getting way too anxious in a crowd of people to really enjoy herself.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Neither of them believe in Santa. Cassandra grew out of it a long time ago, and it was never really a thing in Melony’s home for her to ever believe in it in the first place. (Plus Melony finds the concept kind of creepy anyway).

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

Bold to assume these two would ever throw a Christmas party. They’d rather watch Christmas movies or something than deal with people.

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

Melony, and Cassandra really only wears it to make her happy. Much like her mom, Cassandra hates itchy/ugly Christmas sweaters.

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Homemade stuff isn’t really their thing. The closest they get is Melony’s baking for everyone.

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Melony’s really good at getting gifts for people she knows well (Like Max, Mia, or Cass), but Cassandra’s surprisingly good at getting gifts for everybody no matter what.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Melony, but she’s too shy to ask. Lucky for her Cassandra ALSO wants to kiss under the mistletoe and isn’t shy about asking at all.

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Cassandra, she actually kind of likes caroling with her sisters. Melony probably would if she wasn’t worried about sounding bad, though.

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

God, both of them can’t skate to save their lives. Max and Elena have both offered to try and teach Melony, but she’s yet to accept the offers.

Daximus:

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

They take turns surprising each other with hot chocolate. Daniela especially can’t get enough of the stuff so everytime she makes it she’ll make Max some, too. Max isn’t as big of cocoa drinker, but he knows Daniel likes it which is mainly why he makes it.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

They’re both guilty. They both LOVE Christmas music, and, along with Mia, pull out the Christmas vinyls pretty much on November 1st.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

This might be the one thing Max actually gets more excited about than Daniela. Decorating for Christmas was always his favourite thing as a kid, especially the tree. Unfortunately he doesn’t feel entirely comfortable actually expressing that in front of everybody, but he does try to help with the tree a little bit.

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Max puts them up, but Daniela is the one who insists on stringing some up in the bedroom because she loves the look of them. (He tends to agree.)

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

Daniela would love to go see the Christmas lights. In some AU where she can be outside in the winter and they lived in like… a normal town, she’d drag Max out to go see them.

6. Who bakes cookies?

Daniela tried to, because Max can’t bake for shit. Unfortunately, neither can she. They leave the baking to Mia and Melony.

7. Who wraps the presents?

They share the responsibility pretty evenly, but Max is arguably better at wrapping than Daniela is.

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Max does, it’s the best time for him to buy Daniela more Squishmallows (and maybe look at some discount knives)

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Daniela always wants to, even though she knows she can’t go outside, let alone touch snow without burning her fingers off. So Mia showed them how to make fake snow. It’s not the same thing, obviously, but Daniela can make baby snowmen out of it and she loves it all the same.

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

Either of them would, honestly, again, if snow wasn’t actually deadly to Daniela. (Doesn’t stop them from using the fake snow, though. Which totally doesn’t make a mess and get Alcina mad at them.)

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

You’d think Daniela, cause of the whole “I hate cold” thing, but Max is actually the one who has to convince her to snuggle by the fire. The main reason being because Daniela has so much more energy in winter, it’s hard to get her to just sit. Half the time he has to end up laying on her just to keep her there for more than ten minutes. (She could just swarm off and leave if she wanted, but he looks so comfy and Daniela doesn’t wanna ruin that for him)

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

Max will argue Daniela does, Daniela will argue that Max does. The truth is they both look great in jackets, Max just wears them more because he actually goes outside.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

Daniela. She has no idea what it is, but she really wants to see one.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Daniela definitely does, Max probably still would, too, if he didn’t have to start being Santa and leaving gifts for his younger siblings when he was a teenager.

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

Daniela’s probably way more of a party person than Max is, so she’d have the idea to throw one, and then get Max to help her organize it.

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

Daniela for sure. She’ll get them at the start of the month and then her and Max will wear them all the time until Christmas day. Max doesn’t mind, he actually really likes ugly Christmas sweaters.

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Max, and he tries to make one for everybody, not just Daniela. It’s a little bit hard when he doesn’t know everyone that well aside from like 2 or 3 people, though.

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Daniela’s adamant that it’s Max. He always seems to know what to get everyone, even though he’s not really obligated to get anybody anything.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Both of them, and believe me, they’re gonna do way more than kiss if they can. (Daniela’s gonna put one specifically in their room so she has an excuse to smooch Max whenever he comes in the door and vice versa)

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Oh, they’re both big into caroling. They can’t exactly go around and torment the Village with their singing, but they sure can run around the castle and bug the staff and family with non-stop “Deck the Halls” and “Jingle Bells” and “All I want For Christmas is You”.

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

Daniela (she’s never been skating before). Max is surprisingly okay at it, though.

Elizabeta and Donna/Angie (Platonic):

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

Elizabeta, even though that could be seen as part of her job almost. She makes it with love either way, and Donna does appreciate the gesture.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

Oh, Elizabeta hands down. Donna enjoys Christmas music enough, but sometimes she can hear it playing from the gardener’s house when she walks by or hear Elizabeta humming it in mid-November.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

Elizabeta, though Angie is also super excited about decorating. Which, she has to assume means Donna is somewhat excited about it, too. They have fun putting up the tree together and decorating it (Angie gets to put the star on top)

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Elizabeta, again, mainly as part of her job. But also because she’s taller and Donna’s afraid of falling off a ladder.

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

Donna really loves Christmas lights, and she’d love to go sight seeing Christmas lights if she could. She has to settle for whatever Alcina decides to put up, though. They’re pretty all the same.

6. Who bakes cookies?

Honestly, I think Donna would. I like to believe she’s fairly good at baking at least very basic cookies, and that’s good enough for them.

7. Who wraps the presents?

They wrap presents together. Neither is especially bad at it, so it mostly just becomes a light hearted fight for markers and tape. (Meanwhile, Angie’s literally stealing the supplies to go wrap her own gifts)

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Elizabeta would, despite Donna telling her it’s not worth dealing with the crowds.

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Oh, Elizabeta, and to some extent Angie. They have to convince Donna to help them make one (mainly because if she isn’t around they’re just going to fight).

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

Angie. It starts with her throwing one at Liza, and in retaliation she throws one back, somehow one ends up hitting Donna, now they’re all in on it. Until someone forfeits or gets hurt somehow.

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

Probably Elizabeta, because she works outside all day, and while her place further out does have a fireplace, it’s just kind of nice to sit with her friend and drink a hot beverage by a nice big fire.

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

Donna, because Angie and Elizabeta don’t wear jackets.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

Elizabeta would want to go, but Donna would rather stay home. Liza would end up going with Max and Daniela instead.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Both of them. Donna maybe a little more. Elizabeta likes to think he’s real even though she knows by now that he isn’t.

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

Neither of them, they’ll go to Alcina’s Christmas party for a while then go home and watch old movies or something to wind down.

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

Not necessarily matching, but Elizabeta would find her and Donna Christmas sweaters to wear. Donna isn’t the most festive person, but she’ll put it on for Christmas day/eve.

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Donna, and much like Elena, it’s mainly clothing. (Though Angie will make little handmade things for Donna and maybe Alcina)

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Probably Elizabeta, but the bar is pretty low for the term “Best” with these three. They’re trying their best, though.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Elizabeta. She won’t get one from Donna but she can get one from Max while they’re over (and maybe one from Daniela if she’s lucky)

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Elizabeta, again, but she knows Donna won’t let her. Her and Angie sure can sing and annoy the heck out of Donna, though.

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

Elizabeta, though Donna is very willing to try and teach her how. Girl just had bad balance, and it doesn’t help that Angie’s 100% heckling her about it from the sidelines.

Lake and Angela (Platonic):

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate?

Lake makes it at random and just sets it beside Angela without a word. Everytime. They never say anything about it. Boi just likes making their friend some nice cocoa.

2. Who listens to Christmas music way too early?

Angela actually really likes Christmas music, and will listen to it anytime throughout the year. Arguably, Christmas is Angela’s favourite holiday. Lake is way less into it, but they’re happy if Angela’s happy.

3. Who is excited for trimming the Christmas Tree?

Angela, they try to do it by themself every year, and every year Lake has to come and help because they aren’t tall enough and Lake is like a damn tree.

4. Who puts up the Christmas lights?

Ya already know it’s Lake and their tall ass.

5. Who wants to go see the neighborhood Christmas lights?

Angela, but Lake is happy to tag along. They both enjoy the lights, and they both adore those houses that have their lights timed to songs. (Angela for “Ooo pretty lights” reasons, and Lake for “Oh fuck the acid kicked in” reasons)

6. Who bakes cookies?

Probably also Angela. They really enjoy baking, and they tend to make a LOT at Christmas especially (and Lake eats 90% of it).

7. Who wraps the presents?

Mostly Angela, but Lake can do it if they don’t forget.

8. Who hits up Black Friday sales?

Both of them, despite Angela hating shopping in general, let alone on Black Friday. But cheap shit is cheap shit. At least Lake isn’t hard to find if (when) they get separated.

9. Who wants to build a snowman?

Lake, and they will sing “Do you Wanna Build a Snowman” until Angela joins them. The two of them usually end up making a small snowman army at the local park.

10.Who starts a snowball fight?

Angela, and it’s usually after Lake makes enough bad snow puns or Frozen references to start getting on their nerves. The snowball fights are always fun, though.

11. Who wants to cosy up to the fire?

Lake, usually with some cocoa, cookies, and a fat blunt. Sometimes Angela joins them, but they prefer sitting under a blanket in a nest of pillows to being near the fire.

12. Who looks best in a jacket?

They both look best in a jacket, but Lake will always joke that they look better.

13. Who wants to see the Christmas parade?

Angela, and Lake gets dragged along because they can put Ange on their shoulders if they get stuck behind people. Lake doesn’t really care for the parade as a whole, though.

14. Who still believes in Santa?

Also Angela, and Lake isn’t going to be the one to tell them otherwise. In fact they arguably keep Angela’s belief alive because they’ve started getting them one “Santa Gift”, for fun.

15. Who throws the Christmas party?

It’s more of a family get together, but Angela is always the host. And it’s always their family, Lake’s never seems to come (and they never seem to go home for the holidays ever. Angela has to admit, they aren’t sure what that’s about.)

16. Who picks out matching ugly sweaters?

Lake, because they can always find the best (worst) ugly sweaters for them to wear.

17. Who makes homemade gifts?

Angela, they’ll usually make one for Lake and one for the coworkers they really like. These gifts get mixed reviews (they once found one in the garbage. But it’s not like they think about it all the time or anything)

18. Who is the best gift giver?

Somehow, it’s Lake. Boi has some sixth sense for getting people gifts, even for birthdays.

19. Who wants a kiss under the mistletoe?

Both of them do, just not with each other. (Well… maybe once.)

20. Who wants to go caroling?

Angela, and it’s probably the one thing they don’t drag Lake out to do with them. They’ve heard Lake sing, and it’s pitchy at best. Plus they have a small group they go around with already.

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt?

I think they’re both good at ice skating. Lake is just slightly better at it than Angela.

OC ASK (late) 29, 32, 39, 49 and 50? (jackdaw)

No worries! I'm legit willing to go as long as people send me these :)

29: Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

I know for a fact I've written an old version of Telysia doing *exactly* that so. So probably her. I don't think the updates/changes I've made would change her so far that she wouldn't go investigate abandoned buildings without letting anyone know. I think she'd still do that

32: Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

HMMMMMMM asha. for two reasons. a) arguably if it had gone differently her actual canon could be considered horror (given the demon possession. just happened that the demon was friendly, sort of) and b) because if we're talking post-azar for her it's because a good amount of her self-preservation has been sanded down by knowing and surviving azar. also i think she could win

39: Introduce any character you want

THIS HERE IS SAGE AND I RECENTLY REMEMBERED HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. (I need to draw them a new ref cause the old ones are either outdated, have weird proportions, or are missing information):

they're (one of) my AHiT OCs but they're also the only one I've... written... anything about that wasn't... like. exposition? sort of? they're autistic and they spend most of their time in subcon's swamp and they love frogs and they're technically supposed to be dead. holding them up my beloved silliest guy

49: Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes

Azar I think. Azar would make a ton of them as soon as they, like, figure out the internet. or even just computers. they're a bit out of time. just a bit

50: Give me the good 'ol OC talk here. Talk about whatever you want.

BECAUSE I REMEMBERED ABOUT IT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO azar's adhd. azar's incredibly undiagnosed, unmedicated, unmanaged adhd. there is so much happening in their head at all times and they are constantly chronically understimulated and have been like this for a millennia. is it any wonder theyre chaotic? no. they have uncontrolled adhd and insane amounts of power with which to cause problems with. once they're living with asha post-story asha kinda looks at them and goes '...this guy probably has Something going on up there' but she also does not know how you would go about getting a diagnosis for a centuries-old chaos deity so they just kinda don't do anything about it. azar discovers energy drinks and this is the closest theyve gotten to medicating or managing their brain stuff for pretty much their whole life. they have a whole system to do necessary things like chores once they're living with asha and a lot of them end up happening at bullshit hours of the night/morning. asha has insomnia so they both just sort of work on a schedule which is shifted Hours off of "normal." asha's classes are either in the afternoon/evening or completely online. azar just doesn't sleep but they also straight-up dont have to cause they're, once again, a centuries-old chaos deity. they meet literally anyone else and its so incredibly obvious that the two of them are a little to the left but almost no one jumps to the (correct) conclusion of 'azar = khashya = a god/demon' most people just jump to the neurodivergent conclusion and they're fine to leave it like that (even if: it is also true). i think they're so funny

finally the headcanons post

this is probably going to be quite long so i will put it all under the cut. normally, when i make headcanons posts, they end up being really long, so i’ll try to organise it by making a category for each fandom so you can search for the ones you’re interested in. i can’t possibly put every ST character i like because there’s a lot of them so i’ll pick my top five. i’ll update with more fandoms as i think of them

Stranger Things

Joyce: one of the many characters who i hc as a kiddie diddler… but she’s super sweet about it i promise! she justifies it by saying “i’d never do anything my kids wouldn’t want 🥺!” if she lived in the modern generation i think she would have self diagnosed with DID idk she just gives that vibe. she disagrees with a lot of societal rules but when her kids ask her why some things aren’t okay, she doesn’t know how to explain, so she always pulls the “because it just isn’t”

Angela: i have the most headcanons for her so buckle up. first of all she is adopted and i made an oc who is her older adoptive brother and i’d be more than happy to post about that storyline if anyone is interested. i actually have a whole storyline for her. the reason for her being adopted is of course because she is from hnl right?!? EXACTLY! tattoo removal is a marvel of science. she’s also lesbian but she knows she’s not supposed to be so it freaks her the fuck out and makes her really angry. the mind of an Angela works like this: gets embarrassed easily -> embarrassment causes anger -> gets angry easily -> so that’s where all the temper tantrums come from! also in my head i turned her concussion into a grade 3 one for some reason but because of that i decided her brain don't work right anymore

Eleven: first of all shes bisexual, has a thing for blondes, and has a thing for praise/hates degradation, and she learned all three of these things at the same time. she started making advances on other girls she was acquainted with from a couple of her classes (who she was not worried would slap her) and they freaked out, so she asked Joyce why girls don't like her. Joyce could not properly explain why society hates gay people so she told poor El “because people just don't like it”. El got cranky and then began what would become of a tradition of asking Argyle for life advice, which she now does any time she's confused by something.

Chrissy: chrissy is like 90% straight but she’s definitely willing to experiment, and she doesn’t really value genital preferences over what she perceives to be more important traits like loyalty and responsibility. over time her voice got worse and she talks less due to oesophageal damage, but she can hold a conversation just as well as she used to with her own made-up version of sign language + language flash cards made for little kids. she can still technically talk, but for a while it hurt her to do so and she just got used to not saying anything. not really non verbal but just doesn’t say a lot of words. the road to recovery is long but now she sheds the weight by healthier exercising habits and making her own meals, sometimes with help from Eddie or Jason.

Billy: another one of the characters who i hc as a diddler and unfortunately he is much less kind than Joyce is but he’s not, like… straight up sexually violent, at least not to Max. he only likes older women or younger girls, but nobody in his own age bracket appeals to him. he gets hit by Neil in the ribs a lot which causes him to wheeze right after he wakes up or when he gets tired. he and Max are obviously a thing, im going to include my Max headcanons here right now because i don’t have that many and uhh i want to… so max is aagain bisexual but she’d never date a girl because she thinks it would cause too many problems. she heard from el and will about Angela and she hates her with a passion, but in the storyline i came up with for Angela, she moves in right next to max and they end up meeting and it doesn’t go well. max is fully blind and her eyes are still white, which she’s self conscious of because it freaks people out. she communicates with the world more through touch than she does sound. when she gets intimate with people she likes to put her hands on their face and feel their features.

#fuck maygrove #proshippers interact #stranger things proship #stranger things proshipper #maygrove #stranger things headcanons #stranger things hc #i want to tag angel but that’s like an actual word and not just the ship name #Angela x eleven #Angela x max #eljoyce #disability headcanon

Learning to Breathe

(aka Please Remember To Put On Your Oxygen Mask Before Assisting Others)

Characters: Rukia, Renji, Byakuya, and some Fourth Division OCs, (RenRuki)

Genre: Hurt/Comfort, some Angst, some Humor, Family

Rated: T (for mentions of medical tools such as needles and depictions of anxiety, but nothing is graphic or even really overly described. This story is more about the emotions than the medical drama)

Story Summary: Turns out purple eyes and short stature aren’t the only things that run in Hisana’s family, illness does as well. As Rukia and Renji try to help each other navigate through this new storm in their lives, will they remember to take time to breathe? (Rukia gets the same disease that killed Hisana (Bloodlines AU), Post TYBW, Post renruki engagement)

Click the link to read below or click here to read the story on AO3!

(6/7)

Chapter 5: Free Fall

AO3 chapter link

Chapter Summary: Attention passengers, due to the severity of the storm, we have experienced some major technical difficulties, and are now rapidly losing altitude in an uncontrolled manner. Therefore, as we make this “emergency landing”, please remember to put on your oxygen mask before assisting others. Thank you. (The chapter in which Rukia’s and Renji’s day becomes a complete disaster.)

I tried to tell them that there was nothing there, Rukia grumbled to herself, as the nurse began to put away the RIT supplies. But with Renji so close nearby, she didn't dare say it outloud. Despite Nurse Sato's best attempt, she hadn't been able to find a strong enough reiatsu vein for the RIT needle, and now Rukia had an extra hole in her for the experience. She barely suppressed the urge to glare daggers at the nurse.

"Sorry about all this, hun," the nurse placated, as she finished packing up, "But thanks for letting me try. I'll go and track down that specialist for you now." Rukia simply nodded as Nurse Sato headed out of the room. As soon as the nurse was gone, she felt Renji take her hand and give it a tight squeeze.

"You okay?" He murmured tentatively. Rukia looked down at the bandage on her arm. She didn't even have to look up at Renji to know how worried he looked. How he always looked ever since this terrible illness began. Rukia took a deep breath.

"You know…" she began contemplatively, "I heard that vampires didn't come out during the day… Tsk… Guess they were wrong." Renji chuckled wryly.

"Well, to be fair, the nurse took your reiatsu, not your blood."

"True," Rukia agreed with a nod, as she turned towards him, "So what is she then? A Bount?"

"I guess so," He said, scratching his chin, "And unfortunately for us, those definitely come out during the day."

"Crap, you're right! Drat!" Rukia said with a snap of her fingers. She shrugged, "Well, sucks to be me then!"

"Hah! Yeah…" he agreed quietly. He gave her hand another squeeze, "I'm sorry, Rukia." This time Rukia turned to him, and gave him a resolute look.

"What are you sorry for? We've defeated the 'Bount' before, and we'll do it again!" She proclaimed with great confidence, but ultimately, couldn't keep up the farce. So instead, she just returned his hand squeeze. "Let's…Let's just wait on the specialist, okay?"

"Okay…"

For better or for worse, they didn't have to wait long. This time, the nurse, the tech, and even the scheduler who Rukia had talked to on the phone earlier all came into the room together.

This can’t be good, Rukia grimaced.

"Hi, hun,” Nurse Sato began apologetically, as she sat down in the chair closest to the couple, “So we thought we would all come in together to tell you that I talked to our Relief Team Leader about this and he said that, unfortunately, all of the specialists who are capable of performing this task are either out sick or already gone for the holidays."

"Oh…" Rukia said slowly, "I see…"

"There is one more thing as well…" the nurse continued sheepishly, "He also said that he doesn't want to do a neck RIT for this specific test. He wants to use a reiatsu catheter instead. And that requires…a procedure."

Rukia felt her blood run cold. What?! A…PROCEDURE?! She felt Renji squeeze her hand worriedly, so she swallowed thickly. Keep it together, Rukia…

"A reiatsu midline catheter, you say?” Rukia replied instead, doing her best to keep her speech even, “And it requires a procedure? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course, hun," the nurse agreed cheerfully. She nodded to the tech who flipped through his clipboard, and turned it around to show Rukia the example picture.

"A reiatsu catheter," Tech Watanabe explained in his characteristic monotone, "is a large tube that attaches to your chest where there are larger reiatsu vessels than in your arm. It can stay in for several months."

Rukia's cold blood turned to ice. S-Several…months?!

"Don't worry, the procedure will only take a day," the nurse said quickly, "And we'll talk to your personal head nurse from the Fourteenth Relief Team to find out when they want it done first. But as you may have already guessed, this does mean we will have to reschedule everything," The nurse continued, looking even more sorrowful and apologetic, "I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."

Inconvenience is the least of my concerns right now! Rukia took another deep breath and looked up.

"It's…fine…" She got out, "How soon can we reschedule?"

“Yeah,” Renji agreed gruffly, as he pulled out his soul pager, “January is actually pretty busy for me. I usually have Sundays off though. Can you do Sundays?” Rukia’s head shot up at this.

“Renji, if you’re busy, then don’t worry about-”

“Actually, this building is not open on Sundays,” the scheduler said, looking at her chart. Renji pulled open the calendar on his soul pager.

“Oh, well, I guess I could go into work on Sunday, and then take off whenever you all have your next opening. When is that?”

“Renji,” Rukia said more firmly. Renji blinked and looked up at her.

“Yeah?”

“If you are busy in January, then you don’t have to take me. I…" Rukia took a deep breath and did her best to look at him resolutely, "I can go by myself.” Renji's hand faltered on his soul pager.

“Oh…okay. But-”

"Well, unfortunately,” the scheduler began sheepishly as she readjusted her glasses and looked up from her chart, “You probably won’t be able to get a January appointment anyway. We are pretty much booked, and it is about to be the start of the New Year's festivals. Also, I'm actually leaving to go visit my family in the first district of Rukongai tomorrow, and therefore will be gone till after the new year," She waved her hands quickly, "but as soon as I get back, I'll start looking for new dates for you, so don't you worry! But that does mean you probably won’t get a new appointment until at least February."

“Oh. That’s unfortunate,” Renji said quietly, with a bit of frustration in his voice as he switched months in his calendar app, “But at least I have more availability in February. Any chance that we can just make an appointment for February today-” but he stopped when he felt Rukia’s vice like grip on his wrist. He turned to look at her, but she was resolutely looking forward towards the medical team, a huge but eerie smile plastered on her face.

"Thank you all so very much for your time,” Rukia began in a way very reminiscent of the late Fourth Division captain, “I appreciate all of your help in this matter. Is there anything else you require before we head out?"

"Um…N-No, that's pretty much it," the scheduler stuttered. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost, but Rukia was unable to enjoy the humor of it. "L-Let's just verify your contact info, and then you can be on your way."

Rukia quickly gave it to them, and soon the medical team were leading her and Renji out towards the exit. Along the way, they frequently and continuously apologized for the inconveniences, and each time Rukia told them 'It was fine' and 'Don’t worry about it' as she continued to keep that huge smile plastered on her face. Renji, for his part, said nothing.

When they finally made it outside, they looked up to see the storm was raging harder than ever, matching quite well with the one going on in their minds. They stood there in silence underneath the covering, a little ways off from the entrance, watching the rain come down in sheets. Finally, Rukia spoke up first.

“Well, that sure was something,” She got out through gritted teeth.

“Yeah… A real appointment from Hueco Mundo…” Renji muttered while rubbing the back of his neck, “I’m sorry they put you through all that, Rukia.”

“Heh, that? That was nothing!” She declared as loftily as she could manage as she waved him off, “It was mostly just waiting around right? Nothing to be concerned about! I’m only sorry that you still haven’t had anything to eat yet. Speaking of which, we should-”

“Rukia,” Renji said, taking her by the shoulders, and holding her still, “It’s okay. It’s just us. You can admit to me that it sucked back there.” Rukia looked down, unable to meet his eyes.

“But…”

“But nothing!" Renji practically shouted, "They made you wait around for hours, stressed out of your mind, on no food. If that wasn't enough, they stuck you with a needle, even though you told them that it wasn't going to work. And then, after all of that, they tell you they need you to get a whole ‘nother procedure done, just so you can reschedule this whole thing and go through it all over again. That was a complete disaster of an appointment! It’s okay to admit that it sucked-”

“No, it’s not okay!” Rukia shouted back at him, “It’s not- It wasn’t supposed to…I am supposed to be stronger than this. I…” She squeezed her eyes closed, shutting out the tears that threatened to fall.

“Everyone has their limits, Ru,” Renji continued gently, “And they managed to hit most of yours all in one day. It’s okay,” he brought her trembling form into a hug, “It’s okay. I’m just glad I was there to support you. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to take off for the next one too, and-”

“No!” Rukia shouted, pushing against him, so that she could look up into his face, “No, you don’t have to do that! You already do so much for me…too much for me. I’ll be alright, Renji, so please don’t change up your schedule for me.”

“Doing too much…? Crap, Rukia, is that what this has all been about?! Is this why you’ve been acting weirdly cheery all day and not wanting me to help you? Because you were worried about me?” Renji asked, letting go of her with one hand to scratch his head, “By Yamamoto’s Bald Head, Ru, haven’t I told you before that you can rely on your friends?! To let us help you carry your burdens? You should always be able to get support from your friends and loved ones, Rukia,” He finished warmly, holding her in both hands again, but Rukia glared back up at him.

“Oh yeah?! What about you?!”

“M-Me?” Renji stuttered as a bead of sweat formed on his forehead.

“Yeah! Do you think I haven’t noticed you running yourself ragged trying to help me? Do you think I haven’t noticed how stressed and tired you are? Do you think I didn’t notice you not even finishing your dinner last night, even though it was your favorite?” Rukia accused, jabbing a finger at his chest, “ You are exhausted, Renji, and whenever I try to give you even an iota of help, you push me off! So since you wouldn’t let me help you, I was hoping I could at least decrease your stress by showing you that even when you aren’t around all the time, I will be okay. That nothing bad will happen if you decide to take a break. That if you turn your head, you won’t turn back around and see me…dead,” Rukia finished quietly. Renji took a sharp intake of breath, his grip tightening.

“Ru…”

“Renji,” Rukia said quietly as she leaned her forehead against his chest. “I know that you are just worried about me. But I’m worried about you too, you numbskull. And if anything were to happen to me, then I don’t…I don’t want you becoming what Niisama became after Hisana died. And that’s why…" she took a deep breath, "...that’s why I have been downplaying my fears this entire time. You were right, Renji, I was nervous about the tests and I did want you to come. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but you were running yourself ragged, Renji. And I thought this was the only way to get through to you.”

Renji said nothing at first as he wrapped his arms fully around her, pulling her close. Finally he sighed, “Crap, Rukia, I'm sorry… I had no idea you had all this tumbling inside of you. I never meant to make you feel this way. I just wanted you to know that I would always be there for you, y’know?”

“Don’t apologize, you doofus," Rukia murmured into his chest as she returned the hug, "You shouldn’t feel ashamed for caring too much. And I know you will always be there for me, so just take better care of yourself, you big dork.”

“I just…the truth is," he took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "the reason I never take a break isn’t just because I want to take care of you,” Renji admitted as he buried his face into her hair, and tightened his grip around her, “It’s because, I’m afraid. I’m afraid that if I stop in order to take care of myself, I will have to think about what’s happening, and then…and then I might break. I might break, Ru,” his voice cracked with a barely contained sob, “And…if I break… then I might just get stuck like that. Just a broken fool on the ground, unable to help the one he loves most in the world. And if I do that, then what good will I be to you then?”

“Fool,” Rukia said gently, looking up at him. She cupped his face in her hands, “Idiot. What good will you be? Renji, you already aren’t just good to me, you are the best. Just as you are. You don’t have to do anything else.” Renji looked down, unable to meet her eyes.

“A fat lot of good I did you today…” he chuckled derisively.

“Renji...look at me,” Rukia growled at him. Renji’s eyes snapped back up to her and her voice changed immediately to tenderness, “Yes, days like today will happen, but you listened to me Renji. You listened to me, and stood by me, and it made me feel good to know that someone in there was on my side, who saw me as something more than just another patient. That my problems were more than just minor inconveniences to be brushed off. You acknowledged me, Renji.”

Renji sucked in his breath, “Ru…”

“So let me do the same for you. Your fears, your pain, they matter, Renji. This illness is going to be a tough battle for BOTH of us. And just like any other battle we’ve fought before, we need to finish our own fights, before we can go help the other person with theirs. You got that?”

Renji took a deep breath and let it out again, “Yeah…”

“Yeah,” Rukia agreed. Then she smirked. “And hey, if I need you, I’ll call you, alright? I think I might have your number stored somewhere on my soul pager,” She winked

Renji grinned back at her, “Oh, you mean the number you have labeled, ‘Sexy Tiger Man’?”

“Y-Your name for me in your phone is just as bad! 'Cute Bunny Girl?' Really, Renji?! That’s not even original!” Rukia countered back. Renji laughed heartily, before burying his face into her neck again. He sighed deeply, breathing in her scent.

“You…You will tell me though, won’t you?” he murmured, “When you need help? Even when I seem busy? I…I need to know I’m not abandoning you, Rukia.”

“You’re not abandoning me, Renji,” Rukia said, reaching up to gently comb her fingers through his locks, “But yes, I will tell you.”

“Thank you,” he breathed quietly.

“And keep in mind we can call on our other friends too,” She continued, “We could get outside help and develop a system for it, y’know?”

“Yeah,” he agreed.

“And tell you what, if I really need something, and we really can’t find anyone else who is available, then I guess you are just stuck with me! Deal?”

“Deal!” he pulled back from her neck and smiled at her, “Okay, I guess you’re right.”

“I usually am,” Rukia smirked as she cupped his face in her hands, her thumbs gently brushing away her tears. Renji’s eyes slowly closed at the soothing sensation.

“Yeah,” Renji murmured, “Yeah, you are.”

When she had finished, he pulled her back into his embrace, burying his face into her neck once more. Rukia wrapped her arms just as tightly around him. They wished they could stay there forever, in that peaceful bubble amongst the raging storm. However, they were interrupted rather loudly by the sound of their stomachs growling.

"Oh, right," Rukia said as she blinked bleary up at him, "food."

Renji chuckled as he loosened his grip, "I guess we probably should go grab something to eat. It's almost lunchtime now."

"Yes. Let’s get you something before you faint on me!" Rukia said firmly as she released him.

“Yes, ma’am!” Renji scratched his chin, and looked around. Suddenly he perked up, “Hey! Look at that,” he pointed to a poster on the wall next to them, “A new branch of that western style bar, Sandwiches, I Guess, just opened up right around the corner from here! Do you want to go find out if they actually make sandwiches or not?” Rukia raised an eyebrow at him and slowly turned to look at the poster.

“Hmmm. Well despite your ‘very enthusiastic’ promotion of it earlier, I’m not sure if I… By Yamamoto’s Long and Braided Beard, all alcohol is half off for their grand opening?!?”

“Hm?" Renji asked. He squinted at the poster, "Oh yeah, I guess it is. Huh.”

At that, Rukia immediately turned back towards him, a sparkle in her eyes, "You know what? Yes. Let's go. Right now. Who cares if they actually sell sandwiches or not? I wanna go get stupid drunk!"

"Alright!!!" Renji laughed. He looked up at the sky, "Hey, look at that, the rain is finally letting up. I think the sun's coming out too!" Rukia turned to look up at the sky and saw that the rain had indeed begun to slow, and that the sun was finally peeking out between the clouds. She spotted Renji out of the corner of her eye, who seemed to be smiling with his entire being.

"Yeah. Yeah, it is."

"Ready to head back to the carriage?" Renji asked as he turned and offered her his warm hand and even warmer smile. She returned both eagerly.

"Yeah,” Rukia grinned back, squeezing his hand tightly, “Let's go."

#me? making a post three hours after my bedtime and four hours after I went to bed? unfortunately #anyway I’m stuck in a brain loop and have to like. talk it out to get unstuck so like. here have my OC rambles at a time when I should reall #be asleep.#don’t mind me #so like. first of all I’ve got 3 couples that I called evil wives which while fun is unfortunate Bc like. I wanna be able to text my friend #and be like ‘so evil wives fun fact’ and have them potentially know exactly who I’m talking about and anyway I’ve decided corvina and Rij ar #keeping the evil wives title Bc like. it’s apt. veran and Kavarie are science wives (or unethical science wives... still evil but they’re #doing experiments along the way) and like. I don’t have a new name for karen and Erellise #? but they’re the ones I wanna talk about.#basically like. grief fucks you up dude. and sometimes Karen will just dip for a couple of months. and sure erellise knows she’s gonna be #alright but like... she needs to have someone she can trust sometimes and she leans on Karen differently from how she leans on Ilkinz and #sometimes things line up just right to leave her in a very big house with only people she’s regularly threatening to keep her company and #like. she’s very aware that she made this bed. but it still hurts.#and Karen has moments of ‘yes Erellise is resilient but she’s not infallible and she can technically still be killed’ and she panics and #has to leave because she knows so many of Erellise’s weaknesses and so many ways she could get hurt and she ends up stuck there so she’ll #leave and just keep a distance until she’s like. not gonna want to cry every time she looks at her wife? or at least if she does cry it wont #be out of fear that at any moment she could lose her.#these gals may be tough but they’ve lived for a very long time and learned a lot of reasons to worry about someone who can be hurt. and #sometimes they hold onto each other because it feels like they’re all they can consistently depend on. and-#and they just don’t talk about it except through short comments because they’re both getting used to baring their fears to someone again and #Karen bought a house in her home town a long time ago and sometimes they just move out there for a while because. the town is nearly #abandoned by now because that’s where reality split. and as unnerving as it is? watching the sun set past the hole in the sky is stunning.#and it makes for a good place to get away from everyone. there’s a very old woman down the street who paints dishes (especially glasses) tha #Karen’s known longer than she’s known Erellise and the woman insists she’s perfectly non magical and they’ve stopped bringing it up and all #of their dishes in that house were bought from her and sure the old woman tells Erellise that she could do so much better in the floral #business than ‘whatever it is you’ve got now’ every time they come by but it’s a pleasant enough interaction and it’s nice to pretend for a #little while that this is their life. an old house that takes a lot of work to keep running and dishes painted with charmingly abstract #dancers and burning brownies and air that always feels almost a little too humid and a window where you can watch the sun set from the #kitchen and when they go back to Erellise’s house they’re glad for the working air conditioner and the oven that runs at the right heat and #the people they know and sure it’s not all perfect but it never is no matter where they are and at least they’re there together

Prompt List 2, 31. I made it. For you. I know it’s not the best, but…

Author’s Note: Finally managed to work through writer’s block and other stressors enough to make this one up. It’s long, but I do hope you enjoy it, nonetheless. Still working on accent writing through the fan-fictions. If there are any mistakes, I do apologize greatly. I do go back into the posts to fix them if I find them. Thank you all for having patience. On to the story! ^.^

Pairing: Filip “Chibs” Telford x Shay Blackwood (OC belongs to war-wolf-rogue)

Warning(s): Injury mentions, nudity mentions, fluff

Word Count: 2540

All in an interrogation room in Charming, P.D., David Hale had been slightly preoccupied with speaking with Agent Stahl by the time he heard the scream of pain that tore its way out of your throat from the surveillance system. They arrested your mother, immediately putting her in a holding cell.

At the time for your immediate medical attention, after they had cleared the room, you couldn’t or simply refused to speak and you didn’t move. Your teeth were gritted tight and you were breathing harshly through your mouth and nose like a raging bull, with tears streaming down your face, holding back the wolf internally that relentlessly howled and growled inside your mind; wanting nothing more than to be let out and go for blood.

“No! Cannot! Dangerous! Innocents around!” Your mind spoke in broken terms enough to that side of yourself. It didn’t want to listen, but you kept control on it. It was a thin string of control at the moment, but it was good enough.

Needless to say, the department was drawing up and processing charges against your mother for assault and wrongful harm to you. They weren’t sure yet if they should also technically put charges on Agent Stahl with the likelihood of her lying that she didn’t know it was going to happen. Your mother had told them that she knew how to get you to talk and agitate you enough for causing you to make a mistake. This video feed proved that that was a lie. You had closed up tighter than a clam even more now and no one could say that you were mentally ill enough to do anything wrong. Everything was standard reactions to a normal, functioning, every day, average human.

Someone had sent a copy of the video feed to Juice and the whole club saw it. Jaws had dropped, some had shed a few tears for you, and looks of disbelief were all around. When your dad, brother, and Chibs saw you later at the hospital after Unser notified them, you didn’t have it in you to talk or do much of reacting to them besides looking at them. You were just out of some anesthesia. They had to repair the break and the painkillers had you very tired and loopy. You were also too far into your own mind, sluggishly worrying about keeping your job, paying the bills, etc.

Chibs, your dad and your brother felt really guilty with you getting hurt. Even though you had told Chibs that whatever was going to happen was just inevitable when it came down to the fact of you being hurt somehow. You knew it was coming. There was no real way to escape it.

No matter what, you still wouldn’t leave Charming nor go anywhere with your mother. Your mother wanted you to admit that you killed a man a couple years ago. He succumbed to the unspoken laws of the forests and woodlands.

You belonged there, so you had an easier time and it was easy to become one with it, to hide, to be sheltered. The man knew nothing of how to be prepared or live amongst the land. It knew that and could feel it. The man also wanted trouble, to hurt one that did belong. He was evil, definitely didn’t belong, so the land naturally took care of him. A bear had crossed his path and mauled him to death and perhaps some regular wolves ate him as an end result.

Your mother wanted to prove to everyone, as well as get you to admit, that you were responsible for his death. She wanted to get you back to South Dakota. And with what happened in that room, that was no longer feasible. You wouldn’t speak of that day because you had already been honest with Filip about what happened. He had asked a fair question and it was only fair to give him the truth of the answer. He was the only one who mattered to know it. You could tell your father and brother, but it didn’t quite seem that important. You were a natural hunter in both human and animal form, but that night was the first human you ever had to deal with. It had ended in self-defense. No one else but the spirits of the forests and woodlands was there to witness it. It would be a fruitless endeavor to embark down the path of the same case when there was no evidence saying another person was there. It would go back into storage as it had before. Clean and done.

Even though you seemed broken right now, silent as stars and not up for much interaction, you weren’t broken.

In all honesty, even with the painkillers and the sleep aid they gave you, you were still trying to stay distant from the pain and the urge to change. It made you tense, your body rigid with trying to keep your movements limited.

And, sadly, that made you go distant from Chibs and your family at the same time even though you didn’t mean it. Chibs could tell you were borderlining a dangerous fence, so he tried to help keep you in minimal contact with his club brothers and the girls.

You had stayed at the clubhouse dorm after being released from the hospital. Once Chibs had you in the dorm room with the door locked and you were sitting you on the bed, he kneeled down and promised you that you’d both go home for the sake of trying to make you more comfortable, for better privacy and to, hopefully, make you feel safe enough to talk in some form again the next night.

You managed to look at him and all you could do was throw an arm around him and bury your head into his neck, crying with whimpers sounding through at times. For you, that cry was letting out the pent up fear, the rage, the pain in your arm you felt even with meds. Chibs was careful of your arm, putting his own arms around you and rubbing your back, whispering to you in both English and Scottish Gaelic. This was also what you were on edge about. You had kept this at bay just as much as you had kept the wolf side of you at bay. He cried along with you, not ashamed to let them out.

Once you both had calmed down enough, you cleaned up and washed your face while Chibs took a shower. When he got out and dried off, he helped you out of your clothing and into a pair of pajama shorts and a fresh halter top bra since it was easier to take on and off. He put on a pair of boxers before setting you up in bed to be comfortable and hopefully not roll over in your sleep too much where it put pressure on your cast. He laid down next to you, pulling the blankets up as he cuddled with you.

After a few minutes, you both dozed off as you were too exhausted for much more than silent conversations and quiet comfort.

Chibs had a rough time sleeping. Usually, this was normal to him, except for the fact that it was worse. The video feed from earlier had repeatedly replayed in his mind and now it was haunting his sleep. He jumped awake every time the dream replayed when he was in deep enough sleep. He sat up, panting, immediately looking over to you. The sleep aid was fully working for you, as well as the exhaustion you had, since you didn’t wake up to him as you normally would.

Chibs checked your breathing and gently rubbed his knuckles over your cheek each time as well as kissed your forehead, whispering that he loved you.

~ Time Skip; Next Night ~

At 6pm, you were finally getting to go home from the clubhouse to Chibs’s place. He had even gone to get his truck to make it easier. It seemed to help because when he started driving home, you slowly relaxed back into the seat and he heard a breath of air come out of you. You’d been pretty rigid and tense, not relaxed any time that you were awake. He couldn’t blame you. He let one of your favorite music stations play softly on the radio and was gently holding your left hand, rubbing his thumb across your skin to try to help you focus on something else.

After a couple minutes and getting closer to the house, you finally managed to speak two words to him. “I’m sorry…”

Chibs could tell there was more to that with how your voice sounded strangled to get the words out. He just wordlessly lifted your hand up to his lips and kissed it.

He had a couple plans in store to try to help make you feel better.

Once he got to his place, he helped you out of the truck and into the house to sit down a moment. He went to let the dogs out of their room and let them out back into the yard. The dogs could tell you were a bit off, so they gave you space after they had come back in.

Chibs gathered a few things and then had you go with him to the bathroom. He helped you get undressed, made sure your arm and cast couldn’t get wet from water, and started filling the tub for a decently warm bath. You needed it.

He helped you in and to get comfortable. You made a groaning sound as your muscles slowly released and you stretched as much as you could. Once the tub was full enough, he shut the water off.

“Relax here for a bit while I go and start preparing dinner, okay?” He kneeled down, cupping your cheek in his hand.

You nodded, looking into his eyes. He was met with a bit more amber to your eyes than the emerald green he was used to seeing. You had kept that under control except for times you were in the dorm room alone.

Still on alert… I gotta get tha’ wolf to relax.

“Ye’re okay here, mo bhanrigh. No one’s going ta come here and cause ye any harm.” He leaned over, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

“Still angry…” That’s all the wolf supplied. Of course she would still be angry and upset. Everything managed to change in a matter of a day. The break would take days to weeks to heal, depending on your own healing speed. The rehabilitation therapy on top of that, to strengthen your muscles, test any limits and get you back to work, would take a little time as well.

When he looked back into your eyes, he saw them change color to normal. “I’ll check on ye in a couple minutes. I’ll be back.”

Again, you nodded. When he got up and to the doorway, you spoke again. “Filip.”

“Yes, my love?” He’d turned back to you.

“I love you. Thank you for all you’re doing.” You had a small enough smile to form on your lips that he could tell you were grateful.

“I love ye too, baby. Ye’re welcome.” He headed out to the kitchen to start making up something special. He’d gone grocery shopping earlier in the day, although he hated doing so on his own because he usually got frustrated in the store due to the crowded areas. He had managed to ask Bobby for a couple recipes that he didn’t have.

It would be a first for Chibs to fully make homemade chicken pot pies. It wasn’t too much more than Scotch pies, just more filling and much bigger really. He would even be making a homemade Oreo cookie pie for dessert for you too. You deserved pampering and a special meal after what you went through.

As long as he took his time, following the recipes, it was sure to come out good even if it’s not the best you’ve ever had.

While Chibs was preparing and making dinner, you did wonder what exactly he was making. You actually expected him to order takeout from somewhere really.

After a couple minutes though, your mind went back to worrying over everything else.

Come on, Shay, stop. We’ll figure it out. I’m sure there’s something we can come up with. And, I have those couple of ideas for some extra cash and whatnot. I’m sure I can still do small things around the garage or something. Who knows. I’ll ask about it tomorrow.

Once the pot pies and Oreo cookie pie were completely made up, Chibs put the pot pies in the oven to bake for the amount of time needed and put the Oreo pie in the fridge to stay chilled. He set a timer before he leaned against the counter a moment, taking a breath. He grinned, proud of himself. He’d clean up and get other stuff ready once he got you out of the bath, into pajamas, and settled.

Once he had you dried off, clothed and settled on the couch, he left you to watch tv while he got finished up in the kitchen and setting the table.

When the timer went off, he grinned and took the pot pies out of the oven to let stand for a minute or two. He got drinks and plated two pot pies on each plate. He took out the pie, cutting it and dishing up a slice for each of you.

After setting them onto the table, he went out to bring you in. He turned off the tv and told you to close your eyes. As much as you hated to not see where you were going and doing, you closed your eyes. He directed you to your chair and helped you sit down.

“Okay, love, ye can open them now.” The hint of his smiling was evident in the way he talked.

You slowly opened them and in front of you was a candlelit dinner. Your mouth opened in awe. “Wha- What’s all this?”

Perhaps not the right thing to say, but no one’s ever done this before with you and it drove you speechless.

“Ye deserve a special night. So, I got recipes from Bobby and went grocery shopping while I had time. I made homemade chicken pot pies from scratch and I made ye yer favorite Oreo cookie pie. It may not be the best you’ve had from previous times, but I really wanted ye to have a better night.” He explained.

You looked over the food and smiled with a slow, amazed shake of your head. “Wow… Filip, I…This is amazing. Thank you so much.”

Chibs smiled widely, proud that you approved. “Ye’re welcome, baby. Dig in.” He sat down in front of his own meal and he was happy to see a bigger, better smile on your face.

Dinner was cooked to perfection and the pie for dessert was delicious. After the meal, Chibs put on one of your favorite movies and relaxed with you on the couch in which you both did doze off during.

The Reveal Pt. 1

Rating: SFW/PG-13

Word Count: 1.3k

Pairing: Hunter x Fem Jedi!OC

Warnings: Swearing (im too lazy to write the star wars swear words so its our kind of swears), trauma/fear situation, suspense build up, hints to romance

Summary: You've exposed yourself as a Jedi to the Bad Batch, and not intentionally. You're trying to avoid them on the Havoc Marauder, worried that they may be out for your blood, the same way the clones were when they executed the Jedi.

Authors note: I'd recommend reading a few other fics I posted that kinda help lay the ground work for this story/the OC. Ill link them below. This is kinda dramatic, but I had to write it out. Ill post part 2 pretty quickly itll be linked below as well. I have more fluff stuff coming I promiseeee

Migraine

Injured Pt. 1, Pt 2.

Part 2 of The Reveal here

@mangoberry99

The environment on the Havoc Marauder had been tense the whole ride. You had decided to try and avoid everyone as much as possible, and you’ve been on the far side of the ship in the small medical supply closet since the journey began.

Shit.

You had slipped up. You prayed to the force that they didn’t notice, but who were you kidding. Hunter had enhanced sense, Tech was enough of a genius to put two and two together. They saw you make a 40ft jump.

You and the ship were under heavy fire. They were trying to bring the ship closer, but they weren’t making progress quickly enough. You had to jump, or take blaster shots to the face. Now you exposed yourself by making an impossible jump.

Maybe they’ve never seen a Jedi before…

You shook your head. Idiot. Of course they’ve seen Jedi, they were in the Grand Army of the Republic, the same army that had thousands of Jedi as commanders and generals.

You used to be a part of that same army. You fought the war.

And you ran away before it was even over. The battle on Umbara… you shivered from the thought of it. That was your last fight.

That’s when I stopped being a Jedi.

You dispelled the thought, just for another unpleasant one to come. What if they know I am- or was, a Jedi? What if they try to kill me like the other clones did to the Jedi? You squeezed your eyes tight. Their faces flashed through your mind. Memories too- challenging wrecker to a drinking contest, teaching Tech the proper pronunciations in Togruti, spending time with Echo in the cockpit on a night of shared insomnia, cutting Crosshairs toothpick while still in his mouth on a day where he was giving you too much sass, and Hunter.

Hunter. You sucked in a deep breath, a swell of emotions filling in your chest. You always wondered about him. His relationship with you was different from everyone else. You could call the boys your friend, but you weren't sure if friend was the right word for him. You noticed how he would keep his eyes on you, how he kept close to you when things got dangerous. You remembered moments when you tended to each other's wounds, or walked past each other on the ship. The longing glances, lingering touches. You could almost feel the electricity you had felt just from being beside him, for some reason craving to reach out to him. You trusted him, you had vulnerable moments with him.

And now he might try to kill me. And I might kill him.

The galaxy really knew how to be cruel, and it looked like you were being given the cruelest fate it could think of.

The door opened and you saw a small figure slip in. Omega. You sighed. She liked you, maybe too much, now that the shit was about to hit the fan. Or you would run and hide as soon as you could, and never see them again.

“Sera! I was looking for you!” She smiled and turned on the lights. She seemed happy to have found you.

“Hey kid.” You looked down at her, and you couldn’t help smiling. Omega was your first friend after a long time of solitude. She wandered over to your home a lot, which led to your eventual friendship with the bad batch.

“Do you mind if I sit in here with you? Or maybe you can come out with me?”

You felt your stomach sink. You weren’t going to enjoy letting her down.

“Omega… maybe it’s best you go stay near the boys. They’re probably wondering where you are right now.”

“I don’t think so, they know I’m on the ship.” She brushed off your concerns quickly. “Tell me about one of the planets you’ve visited! Or-”

“Omega, Sera, we’re about to land, strap in.” You heard Hunters voice down the hall. You felt knots twist in your stomach. You used the force to sense your lightsaber. Still hidden in your bag, a secret pocket you made to effectively hide it. You didn’t make any movements.

“Sera? You coming?”

You looked to see Omega waiting expectantly, concern showing on her face. “Sera…” an expression you couldn’t quite understand crossed her face as she stared at you. Was it worry? Understanding? “You’re safe here.” She reached out to touch your arm. “I promise, you’re safe.” She squeezed your arm and smiled.

If only you knew.

You won’t kill them. You’ll do whatever you can to disarm, and run. You decided this with confidence now. You couldn’t hurt Omega like that, kill the only family she knows. And if it comes down to it… you’ll take the knife in the back, the blaster shot, the beating, whatever happens.

“Thanks Omega.” You smiled, but it was fake, and you were sure it probably looked wrong. “You head up now. I’ll be fine back here.”

She looked unsure and you nodded your head, urging her on. She exited and you released a breath you held. You closed the door and shut off the light.

You heard footsteps, your name being called, but you stayed hidden. Eventually you felt the ship jolt around a bit, and you could tell you’d just exited hyper space and were flying through the atmosphere. Another couple minutes later, a soft thud confirming that you’d landed. You felt adrenaline start pulsing through your body, your fingertips felt like they were being zapped with electricity.

Here we go.

You slipped your mask on, a memento of the clone wars you fought in. You used to always wear it, that was until you befriended the misfit clones. You felt protected when you wore it though, and you needed as much protection as you could get right now.

You shook your head a few times. Maybe they don’t know. Maybe they don’t know. Maybe they don’t know. You kept repeating it in your head. Almost like a mantra. You grabbed your bag and exited the room.

“Sera! There you are!” Wreckers loud voice boomed down the hall. You flinched a little. He didn’t charge at you. He smiled his big goofy grin, swaggering down the hall. He didn’t look like he was going to pummel you. You waited expectantly. “Here I am…” you forced a laugh.

“Where were you?” Hunter spoke and emerged from behind Wrecker. His eyes tried to meet yours, but you avoided direct contact. You didn’t walk up to approach either of them. You watched Hunter now. He didn’t look like he wanted to hurt you either.

This could be a trick. The clones killed the Jedi by tricking them, it had to be the only way. You stayed on guard. You answered Hunter, “Just around. Felt like being alone.”

“Okay then...” His eyebrows knit together, and his arms folded across his chest. You couldn’t tell if he believed you. Hunter was always difficult to read. The boys knew you coveted alone time, so you thought your excuse was believable. Technically it was partially true.

“Well I’m here, we’re back, and we can get off the ship now, right Tech? Echo?” You hollered down the hall. Hunter had an eyebrow raised, analyzing your behavior. You tried to ignore him.

“Yes, we’re opening the doors now.” You heard Tech reply. Right on queue, the ship's exit ramp opened.

You rushed out quickly, managing to get past Wrecker. You breathed the fresh air in. Almost out of this. Then it’s time to disappear. You still had your old Jedi cruiser hidden. Now it was time to put it to use, hopefully you didn’t get gunned down by an Imperial ship.

“Sera, wait up!” You heard Wrecker barrel down. You held your breath, hairs standing up. “How did you make that jump earlier? It was so far!” His hands made a motion to exaggerate it. “Did something explode??” He said excitedly. You didn’t think about how that logic made no sense. You only stood frozen.

“Explosives couldn’t have done that Wrecker.” Tech chimed in. “And isn’t it obvious?” He was standing at the exit door of the Havoc, looking at his data pad. “Sera is a Jedi.”
