Stranger Things Universe - A complete rewrite of stranger things episode by episode with new characters and plot lines.
There You Are - Steddie Mamma Mia
From the author:
Hey! I just wanted to give a small update on a few things. One, I'm still writing Home of The Lost. I'm working on many wips for myself and also to share. Two, I also have personal things happening in my life that are keeping me busy. A lot of it is good but it has kept me away from my computer lol. The last thing is I'm changing my nickname. It's Sky now. So, I'll put Sky next to things that are by the author instead of the Oracle. That's all. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Rules: Make a 24hr poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It’s fine if you only have one, still, make a poll for the vote count). Whichever WIP title gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.
First off thank you @the-stray-storyteller for the tag. Second is it wrong if I beg for people to choose Home of the Lost? Pixie and the Dryad work too? I did need this, I might be procrastinating. -Emi
Happy WBW! What's the harshest part of your world? Be it a place, a law, something character-created or otherwise, what is just HARSH?
Happy WBW to you as well! That is an excellent question mortal.
The harshest thing I've seen is the hierarchy of species and what it can do. Gena Kingdom is the most accepting of species but it isn't without its faults. Gossip and rumors are all anyone knows about Gena. Since Queen Emblem came into power, she's tried to reach out to other kingdoms to change how they view us. However, so many of us are worried about the discrimination that comes from opening up the kingdom's walls. Even within our walls, people face hate for misconceptions and miscommunication on gossip sites. Anyone with a large amount of money can get whatever they want published in the papers. Even if that thing is harmful, untrue, and damaging. Rumors spread like wildfires here.
In Rosestorm and other places, the witches go through so many problems. The witch wars lasted years and yet even though witches won, there are so many creatures who believe the witch magic is useless. The Hollow barely lets another species in its walls because of it. They just want to be recognized for the work they do and not treated like children or servants. Their magic is seen as pitful and tragic. They are seen as the weakest magic users. At one point a bunch of witches believed the mortal realm might give them solace. Witches now tell horror stories of what happened in the mortal realm. The council that was put in place to help prevent them from being overlooked hasn't done anything. They placed a witch in their group but refuse to acknowledge her skills or arguments. They turn a blind eye to the discrimination of witches and other magic users.
Amore worships angels too much. They turn on anyone who isn't like them and it causes many problems. Demons are treated like playthings or monsters. Cat folk are seen as pets without autonomy. Humanoids are seen as freaks. Shapeshifters are called thieves and dangerous. The royal family does nothing to stop what happens and if anything, encourages it. They pretend to keep these groups close yet do nothing to stop the hate. The royal family refuses to acknowledge their own messed up past and fucked up system.
Aufero Fabula like me are all seen as dangerous. Despite the fact we can't help if we see a memory. We can't control whose memory we see nor when we see a memory. We are not all the same as well. Our powers vary depending on the person but, there are no books on these powers. People fear us despite the fact we were hunted for our eyes for years. Despite the fact, we've gotten used to hiding and running. Some of us don't know if we have any family left. Some of us are dangerous and should be locked up, I admit that. But so many of us are just trying to survive. Most of us keep to ourselves and keep out of trouble. Still, we're seen as criminals for existing. I'm not even sure how many of us are left.
Don't even get me started on changelings. I'm sorry for going on a long rant. I suppose it still hurts me how nothing seems to be happening to fix these problems. I hope I've answered your question well enough. I hope you have a good day today, mortal. Please do not be afraid to be yourself and take pride in who you are.

19. “You're always with me”
(Tw: Swearing,)
Emi complains a lot. It's the truth and he wears it with honor most of the time. He once told Lexi it was because his filter is broken. Lexi said she didn't mind. So, Emi complains to Lexi about everything and anything that annoys him. In turn, Lexi never judges when he changes his mind or tells him he's wrong. Today was different. Lexi knew the moment the pixie walked in and didn't say a word.
“Pix?” The dryad can't help the concern seeping into their voice. Usually, Emi would start by telling Lexi about his day and then complaining about customers that annoyed him. Today, Emi walked in and starts the kettle without even looking at Lexi. The pixie stays silent as he reaches for the tea bags. “Emi,” He freezes at Lexi's tone. He slowly turns to the dryad, unable to meet their eyes. Lexi frowns and takes the box out of his hands. She envelops him in a hug and waits.
It doesn't take long for the pixie to crack. “It's nothing,” He tries only to be hugged tighter. “You do so much for me already,” He attempts with no luck. Emi sighs and wraps his arms around Lexi. “Am I too much?” He asks softly and it makes Lexi's heart clench. “No. Never,” Emi lets out a choked-out sob at the statement. ”I am! I complain way too much. I talk too much. Everything I say is wrong ad I'm very bitchy! You're always with me! You must hate me!” Emi rambles through tears. Lexi simply holds him tighter. “I could never hate you,” The dryad says, blinking away their own tears. It hurt that Emi would ever think of himself as too much. “You are wonderful and kind. I enjoy it when you talk to me and complain about things.” Emi sniffles at the words. “Emi,” Lexi looks the pixie in the eyes. “I hang out with you because you're my best friend and I enjoy spending time with you.“ Emi lets out another sob. Lexi holds and rubs his back soothingly.
They move to the living room couch after calming down. Emi is on Lexi's lap with his head on their shoulder. ”Want to tell me what happened?' Lexi asks after a few moments. Emi makes a noise of disapproval. It makes Lexi roll their eyes. ”You have to tell me eventually,“ The dryad teases. They both knew Lexi would let it go if Emi really didn't want to say. The pixie sighs and gives in. ”One of the new hires told me to shut up,“ Emi can feel Lexi tense up under him. He gives the dryad a look before continuing. “Mika told me she was being rude but, I guess it got to me. My thoughts spiraled and I thought maybe you hate me but, you're too nice to leave.” Lexi snorts at the idea. “Hon, I can name several people who would disagree,” She says with a dismissive wave. “Then they would be wrong,” Emi responds crossing his arms in fake annoyance.
“No, they would be right. I can be super mean.”
“Bullshit.”
“Pix, you are one of the only people who see nice Lexi.”
“Again, bullshit. You are the nicest-HEY!”
Emi gets cut off by Lexi picking him up. Lexi chuckles at the pixie's glare. “Am I so nice now?” The dryad says with a teasing grin. Emi huffs but struggles to keep the smile off his face. Lexi sits him down after a moment. “You are way too strong,“ Emi remarks. ”Thank you, I try,“ Lexi responds in kind, making a show of showing off their muscles. Emi grins and launches himself at the dryad. Lexi catches him with ease. ”Oh my,“ Lexi says dramatically falling onto the couch. “A pretty boy on top of me, whatever shall I do?” Emi lightly smacks their arm. Lexi just grins in response. They stay like that for hours, joking and talking to each other.
(A/n: The list has dialogue as well. I love writing about these two. They're very sweet and care a lot about each other. I hope you enjoy and have a peaceful day!)
10. Snuggle together on a rainy day
Emi hums as he listens to the rain. He loves his job at Heart of Ink. He enjoys the people he meets and seeing the designs that people will have forever. He's just the receptionist but always feels welcomed when talking with the tattoo artists. That said, he loves not working on a rainy day. On days like this, his true passion comes out. Pages and pages of stories flow out. The rain offers comfort like a warm blanket as Emi writes. No one would ever see the stories and Emi was okay with that. He enjoys his rainy off days with his notebooks as company. Emi sighs and tries to focus on the rain. He's experiencing a small creative block and it's frustrating.
“Pix?” Lexi's voice comes as a welcome and surprise. The dryad walks in clearly wet from the rain. “What are you doing here?” Emi asks as he gets up to provide towels. Lexi shrugs and stays in place until Emi hands them several towels. She takes it with a soft smile. ”Was bored. Needed out of the house,“ Lexi drys off as she talks. It doesn't seem to help much. “You want to shower? I'll get you some fresh clothes,” Emi offers, deciding not to push about Lexi showing up. He learned early in their friendship that Lexi sometimes needed someone with them. Lexi can't stand being alone and sometimes it gets too much. This seems like one of those moments.
“A shower and fresh clothes sound divine,” Lexi responds to Emi. She heads into the bathroom while Emi goes to his room. He pulls out an old shirt and sweats from the second drawer. He doesn't remember when Lexi started leaving clothes at his place or when she got an official drawer. At this point, it would be weird not to have a plethora of Lexi's clothes in his house. In fact, Emi was ninety-five percent sure the shirt he has on was originally Lexi's. Deciding it doesn't matter, Emi grabs the clothes, along with undergarments, and leaves them on the toilet seat. He goes to the kitchen and decides to start making some tea.
The dryad comes in fresh clothes and a towel around her neck. Emi smiles at them and Lexi returns it albeit strained. It makes Emi confused and he raises an eyebrow. Lexi shakes their head and Emi decides to drop it. Lexi will talk to him when she's ready. “It's the lavender one you like,” Emi tells them as he stirs the tea. Lexi hums in contentment. Lexi watches what Emi does and they fall silent until Emi finishes making the tea.
Emi tries to hand a mug to Lexi only to find the dryad lost in thought. ”Tree?“ Emi says, in an attempt to reach the dryad. It seems to work as Lexi looks at him and then at the mug. This time she grabs the mug and follows the pixie into the living room. Emi sits on the carpeted floor and gestures to the space beside him. Lexi takes it, still deep in thought. “Sorry,” Lexi mutters holding the mug tightly. Emi looks at them in confusion. “What for?” Emi asks moving to sit facing Lexi. “For showing up unannounced and making you frustrated,” Lexi says looking everywhere but Emi. Emi huffs at the explanation. “I'm frustrated at trying to write something not at you,” He says, his tone leaving no room for argument. “You are always welcomed here, Lexi.” The dryad lets out a whimper at the sentence but gives Emi a shy smile. “Thanks,” Her voice is soft and Emi can only give a fond smile in response. They lapse into a comfortable silence.
Once their teas are finished, Emi attempts to stand up to return the mugs to the kitchen. Lexi stops him by tugging his sleeve. Emi watches as Lexi stands up, confused about why the other stopped him. The moment she's standing up and stable, Lexi scoops Emi up bridal style. Emi lets out a noise of surprise and quickly wraps his arms around Lexi's neck. ”What are you doing?“ He asks in clear confusion and shock as Lexi starts to walk. “It's snuggle time,” Lexi says with no other explanation as she heads to the bedroom. Emi doesn't get a chance to say anything more before he's thrown on the bed. Lexi lays next to him and wraps their arms around the pixie. Emi tries to protest but his voice is muffled. His eyes droop and he lets them close. Perhaps, a little nap wouldn't hurt, he thinks as he wraps his arms around Lexi. They fall asleep tangled together with rain falling in the background.
(A/n: I might have a list of prompts to do with these two. I had a plan then the plan got derailed. Still, this is sweet and comfortable. No long notes as I'm sleepy and probably need to go sleep. I hope you enjoyed and have a fantastical day!)
Emi groans as he flops onto his very comfortable couch. Usually, he would curl up and let the day's stress wash away. Unfortunately, the world had other plans. Another bang makes him jump. It just had to be Waterlog, the one holiday Emi disliked most. Waterlog was a national holiday in the country of Cleca celebrating the rebuilding of everything after the flood. Fireballs of all colors and parades are thrown in honor of coming back home. The problem was that silencers were made for the loud fireballs and people don't take them. Leaving Emi, who is sensitive to loud sounds, curled up in his apartment with a headache. 'Stupid tradition bullshit,' the pixie thinks, burying his head further into his couch when another bang comes.
Emi completely misses his apartment door opening. It isn't until he feels gentle hands rub his shoulders that he looks up. Lexi looks back with a small frown. “Too loud Pix?” The dryad asks never stopping her hands. Emi nods and attempts to move close to them. Lexi stops then and Emi can't help the whine that comes out of him. “I know, Pix,” Lexi says soothingly. “You need to drink some Heal, then we can head to bed and I'll give you a massage.“ Emi thinks about the offer for a bit. ”You promise?“ The pixie asks, slowly starting to sit up. Lexi hums and helps Emi the rest of the way up. Once he's sitting up, Lexi grabs a potion bottle with light pink liquid off the side table. She gives it to Emi who drinks it down the best he can.
”Yuck,“ Emi says when the bottles empty. Lexi chuckles at the reaction. ”Sorry Pix, I didn't get any other flavors,“ The dryad explains before picking the pixie up. Emi looks at Lexi in surprise but, quickly wraps his arms around the other's neck. Lexi smiles softly and brings them to the bedroom. She sets Emi down gently and kisses him on the forehead. In response, Emi sighs contently. The loud bangs are muted now and his head feels slightly better. Lexi sits down next to him and moves some of pixie's hair out of his face.
”Still want that massage?“ Emi's mind takes a second to process what Lexi says. He makes a discontented noise and grabs Lexi's hand. He places the hand on his head. Lexi seems to get the hint and starts rubbing gentle patterns on the pixie's temple. Emi relaxes, even more, his body feeling too heavy to move anymore. He lets his eyes droop and gives Lexi one last loopy smile before falling asleep.
Emi wakes up slightly confused. When did he move the bed? He gets up and heads to the bathroom to get ready for work. It takes him a while, his body and mind were still groggy from the potion. As he cleans up, the memories of Lexi helping him come back. He blushes and groans in slight embarrassment. It wasn’t like Lexi hadn’t seen him out of it before, it was more the fact she was stuck helping the pixie once again. Once dressed and ready, he moves to the living room where the smell of waffles greets him. He sees Lexi humming along to a song playing as she cooks. Emi's heart clenches and he tries to push off his guilt.
“Whatcha doing?” He sits at the kitchen's island as he asks. Lexi doesn't look at him, more focused on their cooking. “Waffles,” The dryad says with a playful smile. “Figured you needed something sweet.” Emi snorts at that. “I always need something sweet,” He responds with a teasing grin. Lexi hums in agreement and plates the last two waffles. They stay in peaceful silence as they set the table and sit down to eat. Emi immediately digs into his, while Lexi watches carefully.
“What's up?” Emi asks when realizing Lexi is staring. “You okay?” The question is loaded and both of them know it. Emi sighs and taps his fork against his plate. “I feel bad you’re stuck taking care of me again,” He explains knowing he can’t lie to the dryad. Lexi frowns at him. “I like taking care of you,” Emi looks at the dryad with doubt. “Still, you could have been spending time with family instead,” The pixie points out and it makes Lexi snort. “Pix,” Lexi's voice is soft but commanding. It shuts Emi up. “I'm not on good terms with my family,” The dryad says looking away as memories come over them. “But, there is no one else I'd rather spend time with than you.” Lexi's smile is genuine and it makes Emi want to tear up. He pushes the feeling away and smiles back shyly. “How about next year we see a parade?” He suggests and Lexi grins at the idea. “Sounds wonderful Pix,” She says as she stands up. “Now, get your butt to work.” Emi takes it as a sign a more in-depth conversation would take place later. Also, he was going to be late if stayed any longer. “Thank you, Tree,” The pixie says, giving Lexi a small kiss on the cheek and rushing out the door.
Lexi chuckles as the door closes. She picks up both their plates and brings them to the kitchen. As she washes them, she thinks about how happy she is to have met Emi. Even when they first met, the pixie had always intrigued them. She didn't know how to explain why she liked taking care of Emi. Not that she needed to explain, what they have works for them. Lexi will always be happy with that.
(A/n: Did I write this because the fireworks wouldn't let me sleep? Yes. Did I make a holiday that didn't exist before today just for this story? Also yes. Also, world-building in my stories? It's more likely than you think. All jokes aside, this was cute to write. Very wholesome and another day I'll write about their trip to the lake or seeing a parade. I hope you enjoyed and have a fantastical day!)
”So,“ Lexi sets their bottle down on top of the small dining table and sits down. Emi looks at the dryad with concern. It makes Lexi want to laugh. ”Want to go on a date?“ Lexi says instead deciding to have mercy on the pixie. Emi blinks twice and stares at Lexi with a tilt of his head. “A date?” He says slowly and Lexi can't help but snort. “Yeah, a date. Platonic your type of date,” The dryad explains in the way of an explanation. Emi's confusion quickly becomes excitement. “I would love to go on a date then!” He says practically jumping up and down. Lexi shakes their head fondly. “Where to, Pix?“ Emi's smile grows at the nickname. ”Well,“ He bats his eyes innocently, making Lexi raise an eyebrow. ”There is that new cafe in town.“ Lexi snorts and stands up. ”Get your ass ready in two hours Pix,“ She says before moving to the bedroom to get themselves ready.
The two hours are warranted when it came to Emi. The pixie was still finishing his makeup when the two hours are up. ”Hey Pix, I'm tempted to leave without if you don't hurry up,“ Lexi jokes while leaning on against the front door. ”What kind of person leaves their date?“ Emi yells back finishing his mascara. ”The one whose 'date' takes forever,“ Lexi responds with air quotes even if the pixie can't see them. Truthfully, this was a more fancy hang-out than anything else. Both had already talked about how dates would go and such. Emi rolls his eyes at Lexi's teasing and walks into the living room. He grabs his purse and walks through the door Lexi now held open. After finally getting through the door, the two head off. They decide to walk as it's a nice day and an excuse to talk more.
”And she swears he did it. I didn't believe her for a second, of course,“ Emi says with an eye roll as they near their destination. Lexi had tuned out most of the story and was more focused on how relaxed the pixie looked. Emi wouldn't mind them not knowing what he was talking about. Another thing they talked about. Emi knew he could ramble forever and Lexi couldn't keep up most of the time. ”I just like having someone there, you know?“ Emi had explained once when asked why he didn't mind. Lexi took it with grace and it worked for them. ”Oh! There it is!“ Emi's voice reorientates Lexi back to their surroundings. The cafe is light pink with pastel blue accents. A woman stands in front wearing a lavender jacket handing out papers and talking to people.
As they approach the woman turns to them and smiles brightly. ”Hello!“ She greets them and the two smile back in response. ”We have a special for couples today! And you two are just adorable!“ It hits Lexi how they must look, holding hands and being content around each other. It doesn't make Lexi upset just a little uncomfortable. Emi, however, tenses and gives a fake smile.
Lexi knows they have a choice then. ”Sorry,“ She says as she wraps an arm around Emi. ”Just friends.“ Emi looks at them in surprise and thankfulness. ”Oh,“ The woman's bright smile drops and she looks at them bewildered. ”Why not?“ Lexi scoffs at the question. ”Not any of your business,“ She says, their tone harsher than she intended. ”My friend and I would just like to go in now.“ Mrs. Lavender Jacket nods rapidly and steps aside. Lexi guides the still-frozen Emi into the cafe and slides into the first free booth.
When they finally settle in, Emi takes a deep breath. ”Why,” His voice is soft and timid. “Why did you say that?” Lexi rests their elbows on the table and looks into Emi's eyes. “Because it's the truth,“ Lexi says like it's the simplest thing in the world. Emi gapes at her. ”But, we're on a date?“ He says, confusion clear in his voice. ”So? We're still friends,“ Lexi responds back. ”They're having a sale for couples.“ ”So?“ ”You could have taken advantage of it!“ ”How? I'm not here with a romantic partner.“ Emi scoffs in disbelief. Lexi takes the opportunity to hold the pixie's hand. “Emi,” Lexi says and Emi can feel his anxiety slipping away. “You don't want a romantic partner. I'm not going to ever force you to pretend to be one with me for some random woman or stupid sale.” Emi finally softly smiles at the words. “Thank you,” He says, squeezing Lexi's hand tightly. Lexi squeezes back just as tightly. The moment is interrupted by the waitress coming to take their order. Both scramble to decide what they want.
The food is good and the company is better. Emi orders a milkshake for dessert and it finally arrives. With two straws. Emi doesn't seem to pay attention and immediately dives into it making Lexi laugh. “What?” Emi asks playfully oblivious. “Nothing,” Lexi dismisses with a wave of their hand. “You just really love sweet stuff.” Emi nods and bounces slightly. Instead of responding, he goes back to his shake. The waitress comes back with the check and looks at Emi with slight confusion. ”My friend happens to adore shakes,“ Lexi says, shrugging their shoulders. The waitress nods hesitantly, clearly even more confused. She takes Lexi's card and scurries off. Emi is in a world of his own with his shake. Lexi hums a little as she waits for her card back.
Luckily, it doesn't take long and they two are on the way back home. Home was also known as Emi's apartment they both practically lived in. Lexi was at Emi's place more than their own. Emi talks about something surrounding Rosestorm, while Lexi zones out and focuses on their conjoined hands. She only zones back in when Emi lets out a happy sigh. ”Home sweet home,“ The pixie says and lets go of their hands to unlock the door. They walk through and once the door is shut, Emi is on Lexi. The date was amazing and after the date even better. Lexi couldn't wait for more.
(A/n: Plantonic date! Correcting people who don't know and not letting people assume. The reasoning on why that's important will most likely show up later. I'm happy I got to write this. This was adorable and sweet. I now have to go rewrite everything for Home of the Lost as I lost all of chapter three. Wish me luck. With all that said have a wonderful day and hope you enjoyed!)
Emi sighs as he applies more concealer to his neck. Lexi just had to leave so many marks. Speaking of the dryad, Emi is startled out of his thoughts when he feels an arm wrap around him. He sighs and leans into the girl's touch. "Something wrong?" She asks and Emi remembers his thoughts. "Yeah, nothing you could do about it though," He responds, the discomfort making his stomach swirl. Lexi raises an eyebrow. "You sure?" She holds Emi just a bit closer and Emi feels his anxiety scream at him.
"I can't love you," He says before he can stop himself. Realizing what he said, Emi looks down and stares intently at the sink. Lexi from behind him blinks in confusion. "Uh, I don't love you like that either?" Emi feels a bit better at the words and lifts his head. He meets Lexi's gaze with a hopeful smile. "I do have to ask what made you say can't," Lexi says, curiosity taking over. Emi's smile fades and he sighs again. He thinks about the words carefully before answering the dryad.
"You know how we're friends with benefits," Lexi nods in response. "How we don't kiss a lot, just occasionally?" Lexi hums and gives Emi a little nod to continue. "Well, I despise the idea of making out and I can't imagine myself committing to someone. I've never gotten butterflies or had a crush before that wasn't superficial. But, I still crave to take someone on dates and buy them gifts. I want to cuddle and know everything about someone without the whole dating aspect."
Lexi takes a moment to think before speaking. "So, the relationship benefits without the romance?" Lexi asks to get a little more information. "Exactly!" Emi exclaims. "Does this include sexual benefits?" Lexi says trying to gauge Emi's response. Emi nods and sighs once more. "I'm sure that seems weird and confusing. I thought I was pansexual for the longest time for it. I'm actually under the aromantic scale, it's called cupioromantic. It's the desire for a relationship without the romance part. Also, you don't or feel very little romance for people either," Emi explains the best he can. Lexi nods and takes everything into account. It explained a lot about the pixie and who he was.
"I'm not asking you to be that either, by the way. I mean, I want you too but, if that's too much and you prefer we just stay fuck buddies, I'm cool with it. Hell, you can even cut off contact with me if you want. I just want you to know the truth and how I feel," Emi rattles on but Lexi has already made up their mind. She takes Emi's face and gently makes him look them in the eyes. "Emi," Lexi starts and Emi is immediately nodding. "I would like that with you. Platonically dating sounds wonderful." Emi can't help that his eyes start to water. "You mean it?" He asks, his fear still lingering. Lexi chuckles. "Yeah, as long as you don't mind if I get a partner or anything," The dryad says with a gentle ruffle to the pixie's hair. Emi grins at the affection. "As long as they don't mind what we do, I'm okay with it," He responds with his own teasing grin.
The two would need to talk about boundaries and more but, for now, they were okay. Emi's heart bursts with happiness and contentment. They could talk about it more in detail later for now they enjoyed being in the present and in each other's arms. The peace is unfortunately broken by one of their phones going off. "Shit!" Emi says as he quickly tries to finish hiding the hickeys. Lexi smirks at the response. Yeah, they were going to be just fine together.
(A/n: Meet Emi. An oc who is cupioromantic like me. The experience that Emi describes and how he feels is a mirror of my own. The differences are not having a partner (of any type) and we have different wishes about the sexual benefits. I was coming to terms with being cupio and I thought what if an oc had this? Maybe it would help me understand myself more by writing it out. I can confirm that it did help a lot. The fwb was just something my brain thought would be an interesting dynamic and a good way to approach the topic. So what if a character has a buddy and he's scared the other is in love with them? Thus, Emi the pixie and Lexi the dryad were born. Their dynamic is going to be a fun one to write and I hope I do more writing for them. I already have ideas. I'm going to hopefully finish chapter 3 of Home of the Lost first. It's currently longer than the first two chapters and I'm so excited to share it when it's done. I hope you enjoyed and have a fantastical day!)
Happy STS! ♥️ You can go back in time and give yourself one piece of writing advice. What is it?
Happy STS to you as well! Hmm, your question is a hard one to answer, mortal. I think I would tell myself it's okay to be unsure. That writing down my thoughts and visions is better than letting them disappear. I would also tell myself to look into the mortal realm more. It's not as scary as I once believed it to be.
(From Emi: I would tell myself to be proud of what I've written and stop writing things that make me uncomfortable just because others wanted me to. Also, write down my stories more and don't lose them. Even if I rewrote them completely, I think the reminders of where I came from would be heartwarming and sweet.)
Hi Oracle! Happy STS! Have you ever thought about the cover of your wip or maybe some illustrations of your favourite scenes? Could you describe them?
Happy STS to you too! I haven't thought of covers but of certain scenes for sure. I would like to show mortals silly scenes like The Dummies all together laughing. Show Camillia and Emil cuddling each other with Marcie and Brooklynn chating nearby. The image of Rina, Jazz and Camillia in their formal outfits dancing happily together. A picture of all the witches together or just certain pairs like Celeste and Scarlett or Vic and Christine. I believe the most would be the image of the royal family together (Ecerardus, Ellinora, Emblem and me) in the rose gardens looking regal.
(From Emi: One of my goals is to get a commissioned piece of Gena royal family or of Camillia in this regal evening dress. The Camillia in dress is from a scene that I wrote but never published that means a lot to me in what it stands for. The scene is Camillia coming to terms with who she is and embracing it. She has her broken horns and tail out and she's smiling like nothing can ever bring her down. The Gena royal family together I want because the family is based after my own. Queen Emblem is my grandmother and Ellinora is based after my sister. Ecerardus and the Orcale are both based after me in different times of my life. Ecerardus when I first started to live with them and the Oracle of me now. Having a picture of them together wiuld be a nice reminder of how my family has always been there for me when I've needed it.)
Hi, happy WBW Oracle! What are popular snacks to-go in your universe? Are they sweet or savoury? Maybe eating in rush is seen as a lack of manners?
Hello! Happy WBW to you too! Popular snacks are really based on where you're from and what you like. My favorites are savory treats. My favorite is Dragon Kabob (Different meats topped with peppers and spices grilled over dragon flames for extra flavoring). Prince Ecerardus prefers sweet and cold treats like Pixie Delight (Frozen dairy (I believe you mortals call it ice cream) topped with different sugars and a hint of fairy dust.) I find it too sweet personally. I've heard a popular snack is Butterfly Cookies (typically cinnamon flavored with fairy dust (But can come in all flavors). The cookies are known to try and fly away if you don't eat them fast enough so be careful if you ever get some.) Pair them with a brew of Witch's tea (Lavender and peppermint are my favorite flavors but again can come in all types) and you have the perfect snack. People tend to savor and enjoy their snacks but it depends on the circumstances. Food is something for everyone to enjoy and if you wish to eat slow or fast it's up to you. I think it's only seen as improper if the royal family does it but since Queen Emblem came into power I think the public is less harsh on them. I hope I've answered your questions well! I'm so grateful you asked them in the first place! Have a fantastical day mortal!
