Hi ya’ll I is late…XDDD
I swear that nothing that just happened is my doing! Enydd was the one who decided to have a dark-not-so-dark side to her!!! I only meant for her to be happy-go-lucky and all smiles and innocence! *points accusing finger at Enydd* She brought this upon herself! *sigh* XD…
Same bro same… *pats on the shoulder*
Also, I must just say this: EHUD IS AN AMAZING CHARACTER! He’s the guy that everyone immediately wants to adopt into their family. XD Sidenote: I now want bows like the ones Rosario has in her hair. 🙂Aw thank you!!! He’s one of my favorites to write he’s really cutee
Oh for the bow you need something light enough to work with your hair’s weight, stiff enough to pop and long enough to have the whispies, you might have to experiment with your own hair length and thickness you can get these on amazon for ten dollars and they look about right: Uainhrt 4pcs/5pcs/6pcs/7pcs/8pcs Bag Handbag Handle Ribbon Scarf Hair Head Band Neck Scarf Fashion Gifts (U8082) at Amazon Women’s Clothing store.
If you want more fluttery styles you can also look at these for about the same price Amazon.com: AIVIAI Rhythm Band Large Multi-Color Rhythm Scarves (Pack of 12) : Toys & Games
*Was gonna make those actual links but SE does not like more than exactly one picture, link etc per post…I think…*
If you wanna do it in a ponytail like Rosario you gotta tie your ponytail first coz the ribbons will not hold it up esp if you have thick curls 😁✌️
(Dear Rosario only wears the ribbon coz Ehud gave it to her 😉
it IS Zorro!! (the B&W one: the guy on the left is Diego de la Vega) <3 BEST.SHOW.EVER! I didn’t know anybody else knew about it. 🙂*whispers* But I thought Diego was Zorro…?
*gasp* I hope I didn’t spoiler anybody who’s reading this who’s gonna read/watch it I’m sorry!!!
OHHHHH have you read the book!?!?! It has a book too called the Curse of Capestrano!!! The dramatic reading on Librovox is actually really good idk if I spelled that place right…
Aw, that’s so heart-warming! and strangely ironic in a good way! I’m glad that broke the ice a bit. I’m really looking forward to later interactions between our characters! especially Ku and Ehud. hehe. I’m so glad you could incorporate the head ruffle so well!!! Setti is one of my favorite characters, and he has wings on his back and pin-feathers for hair on his head, so Abirami always, literally, ruffles his feathers. =) Setti isn’t ADHD or anything, but Ehud does really remind me of him for some reason. =) Maybe it’s his sweet nature and bubbling energy.Yessssssss! They’re so cute all of them!!!!
Ehud would probably DIE if he met Setti he’d be so excited by the wings lol. That would be funny…
XDDDD. soooo funny! That’s great! Reminds me of on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball, the monkey with the ‘mind-translator’….. “mustache….” XD. or my dad, who whenever he sees someone with a nose stud, just can’t not comment about it looking like a booger on the side of the face that he just wants to say, hey, you got a little… something… there. – – pick – – XDD*Me who’s never seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: looks up said scene*
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT’S AWESOME!!!! That reminds me of Megamind for some reason, same energy I love it!!
*snicker* The nose studs now I will never look at them the same…
So many very close parallels! After reading that, I feel like I should share how Abirami and Ku first met. It’s rather a funny story, actually. Sad, but funny in parts… Abirami was looking through the slums cause he was trying to find his father’s lost sword, just days after the city had been conquered by an evil emperor and his father killed, so the sword was nearly the last thing of his fathers that he had, if he could find it. Even his father’s home had been burned to the ground. While searching, he witnessed Ku steal bread from a soldier, who then chases after her. Abirami, in wolf form, then steals the rest of the food from the soldiers plate (the meat) and runs off. hehe. After eating, Abirami stumbles onto the soldier in the back alley, about to cut Ku’s arm off, so Abirami, still in wolf form, jumps in, saves her, and then runs off with Ku on his back to escape the soldiers who give chase. He later goes and looks for her because she was so malnourished, her skin was almost white (a sign of illness in an aelacrin – white skin typically means close-to-death for aelacrins.) This time in his normal form, and finds her sleeping behind a pile of garbage. He wakes her up, and of course she doesn’t recognize him because he’s not in wolf form, and Abirami, being a naive, awkward teenager, asks if she wants to live with him right out of the blue. She takes him as a predator and shies away. Abirami, being the addle-brained awkward teenager, recognizes she doesn’t recognize him, so he decides to transform into a wolf so she can recognize him as the one who saved her the day before…………… to transform, he has to take his robe off……… so this poor girl thinks he’s a predator already, and now he is taking his robe off…. (and remember, she’s really really short…) so she uppercuts him in-between the legs and runs off! After….. taking the time to recover…. Abirami transforms into a wolf and follows her, then explains properly that Semiramis, an adult, is taking care of him as an orphan and if she wanted to, she could join them… And that’s how Ku became part of Abirami’s family. =) (snicker, snicker) (Abirami would have been about 13 at the time, Ku would have been about 6.) But Abirami is a hopeless savior-complex kinda guy… After taking Ku in, he runs into Menna and Setti, whose parents die when the new ‘evil’ emperor uses propaganda to blame the countries ills on the old government and anyone remotely involved with it. So of course, he adopts them in, and then finally finds a baby neulahdian (race of empaths) who had been abandoned to die in the wilderness (cultural reasons – similar to how some ancient cultures thought twins were evil…), and adopts him too. =)Lol reasonable respond from Ku 😂 And in those situations it is much better to have to apologize for being wrong than have to live with being right and not listening to that instinct.
*Unfortunately I know I know so many of my characters that would do the exact same stupid thing even past the age of 13…*
Also “After…taking time to recover…”
He be like😵😵😵😵💫😶😶😶
😁👌
Poor sweet babies tho…
I think Ehud and Rosario and his brother Enoch all actually live with this barbouncer who sorta adopted them after he and his brother left their drug-abusing dad and Ehud just keeps adopting stay animals/people so lol…
Oooh! You could dub them Rosariud or Ehurio! hehe. XDDDDDD…. if Ehud and Ku ever became a thing, they could be Ehku or Kud. lol.Perfect!!
…at least…I have no clue what kind of logic goes into ship names so…
They sounds good to me 😂
“I don’t eat people,” I whispered quickly.This is the sound of me dying from overexposure to pure adorableness…
“It’s actually gender neutral,” Ku’aya explained. “They are asexual, meaning they can reproduce themselves without the aid of a partner.”
*Ehud relates very much to this nonbinary, asexual bug*“Whoaaa, weird!” He said delightedly, shoving both hands in his pockets and scooting closer to the insect. “But…wouldn’t that be lonely? Not having anybody else to share that with?”
“Oh no,” She said “Bawls are very social insects. They will actually adopt whole colonies of different species of bugs and act as a wise guardian for them. It’s quite incredible. And they live for a very long time. some, even for years at a time! Shaear has been with me for two while years now! He’s a very old man now.”
“Gandolf Bug!” Ehud blurted flagrantly breaking the Fourth Wall why do I even try to stop him…? He pulled out the grandaddy longlegs out of his pocket, suddenly realizing it was still there.
“Will you marry me?!” She gasped
“-Oh! What do grandaddy’s eat?” Her words register. “Wait…what?”
Ehud turned pink all the way to the tips of his ears and his gray-blue eyes got wider than saucers.
“I can’t file houses!” He stammered a lot too loudly, completely and utterly blushing, almost ducking his head into his jacket. What he meant to say was something between “I don’t know how to file tax” and “I can’t pay for a mortgage.” because that was he associated with marital responsibilities. Actually, he hadn’t meant to say that he had no clue what he was saying!?!?
#Totalpanictotalpanic
“Oh, what you got there?” Ku-aya said quickly diverting all her attention to the granddaddy longlegs. Whatwashesupposedtosay??? Who-how-what??? How was he supposed to react he didn’t wanna hurt her feelings!!!
“Oh, that’s a harvestmen. Many people think it’s a spider, but it’s not. It is an arachnid, but see how it only has one body section, not two? That’s how you can tell. And while they can eat other insects, they are also scavengers, which means they can eat carrion or compost. Can we be friends?”
“Sure!” He cried, grinning sheepishly. Friends was safe friends was good! Should he say something???? Wait DID SHE HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM HE DIDN’T MEAN TO DO ANYTHING HOW DOES HE FIX THAT HE DIDN’T MEAN TO DO ANYTHING????????
“What’s Shaear eat? And what do you do if bugs eat other bugs and you like both bugs…??” Ehud stammered so so awkwardly. She laughed a little nervously.
“Most of my bugs are scavengers. They will eat anything that has already died, which is kinda beautiful, if you think about it, because they use death to promote life. It’s always so connected.”
“Yeah…” He said kinda softly. It was beautiful in it’s own way, like everything had a purpose and could still give even after it was dead…
“But for those who do eat other bugs, I make sure they go outside the hive to eat. And they are usually good with that. insects are very territorial beings. They have no issues cannibalizing a foreign colony. Especially if it means protecting the hive or self-preservation. Are not most men the same?”
“Yeah…” He agreed, thinking back on everything men had done to him. Pretty accurate, most people only ever look after their own skin or their own pack or tribe or whatever you want to call it. Family…?
“It’s awful that men are like that…if we instinctively know that’s wrong, we don’t have any excuse for it. But everybody always comes up with an excuse to excuse hurting people as long as they don’t know them too well…That’s not how it should be.” Ehud said, rubbing his arms. Then he turned red again and tried to come up with something up front to say to gently make it clear he wasn’t…he didn’t…have a crush on her…back, and he didn’t wanna hurt her!!!
“You know…being able to talk to someone and being listened to is like the bare minimum you have a right to as a person…you should expect it from everyone, not just special people in your life?” Even if no one actually…gives you the bare minimum.
“It’s like Shaear!” He caught on suddenly “he doesn’t need anybody to reproduce and to everything he needs, but that means he’s free to love other bugs because he wants to, and that makes it real love…I think…”
He scratched his head and turned red again. Was that weird? And out of place, nobody asked him for his philosophical rants and that was probably off-topic!
On top of that…he still didn’t know whether to call Shaear, he, she, it or gender-neutral they. He didn’t wanna say “it” because she loved the bugs so much that sounded disrespectful, but she said he so that was their assigned gender…right? Ok that was too confusing, EVERYTHING was too confusing, Ehud was completely lost, overstimulated and blushing horribly.
Ah! That was so fun! This is so unlike what Ku’Aya normally is, it is great! ha! Really breaking her out of her tough shell and revealing her soft interior she never lets anyone see! This is great!!!I KNOW right!!!!!! I had that with one of my characters that I thought was so hard to crack past his shell but he ended up really softening up to another character and it was like the amazingest feeling to have your character naturally do that with somebody else’s character, it’s like seeing your babies make friends!!!
I changed a little bit… hope it works well for you. hehehe. She popped the question. XDDD Told ya she would… Looking forward to his reaction. oh, and by the by… this is a picture depiction of a Loxor… (the giants of my world.) In case you were wondering… and even if you weren’t… hehehe. (wicked grin) Oh, actually, it’s a picture of a female loxor. The males are even larger (like almost two times larger…)Lolol this is gonna be fun!!! Ehud’s gonna reach a whole new spectrum of awkward with this!!!!!
I love that Loxor’s expression like “what is this freaky babydoll in front of me!?!”
Awesome worldbuilding!!! Ohhh do they all have that hint of purple in their skin or does that change from loxor to loxor?
