My DollShe Fashion Diana arrived today, after two plus years of waiting
She’s gorgeous af and I’m happy to have her home, but she has so many bits and all I can think of is all the hybriding I’m going to have to do (she’s got three total heads, two chests and like a million hands and feet)
I definitely won’t order from Dollshe again, but I might order through BJDivas again, they were very nice and helpful.
Now she returns to her box along with everyone else who has arrived recently, because I don’t have the time and space to deal with her
-She’s highly respected in the surfing community and has been acknowledge by the World to be an icon that symbolizes the sport, to where her name is permanently etched into people’s heads whenever they think about surfing. Her reputation started out pretty low when she was 8 where she entered several Junior Surfing Competitions and landed in 3rd-7th places, but she would later always win 1st place when she became 10. After years of competing and winning, she was specially invited to partake in the Global Ranking Competition at the age of 13. But by the end of the contest she was ranked #56 in the World. After the contest was over, a massive storm hit the beach where all the competitors were still far out in the water. Every single one of them tried to escape and reach land, but they were swallowed by the raging waves. Though there was one that not only avoided the dangers but also managed to rescue everyone from either drowning or crashing into rocks. When everything was over, all the surfers and townspeople crowded around her in order to give thanks and praise her. Even renown veteran surfers, who ranked #1 before, came over and was mesmerized by her. She had such masterful movement and control in water of that dire condition, it was as if every ounce of liquid was under her control and became part of her, in both body and spirit. Since then, she’s been labeled as a Goddess of Surfing that’s blessed by the oceans.
“What are you doing out here alone? Did you see something out there?”
“Oh…Is looking out into the sea really that interesting to do?”
*girl explains the mystical and calming affects of staring at the sea*
“Heh…I couldn’t do that, I would fall a sleep immediately.”
*both giggled"
(Finally! I actually met someone that’s normal and easy to talk to. So far everyone I met up until now were too intense for me to say anything decent. But now things are smooth sailings!)
(Though I’m meeting her for the first time, I feel that I knew her somewhere before…Come on brain, think! I know I must’ve covered her before…..)
(………..)
(…..Oh, right! Duh, Goddess of Surfing!!!)
(Nice one……It should’ve been obvious given her outfit and her love for the ocean.)
(Granted, she hasn’t been in any dramas, scandals, or involved with anything crazy like the others I met so far, so I never really kept a close eye on her. She’s been a perfect spokesperson for the surfing community ever since her rise to stardom.)
(So let me see…What do I remember about her on the video I made back then…..mmmmmm.)
(Right…She’s Bridgette, the very image of what you would imagine an ideal surfer should be. Actually, she’s so renown in the surfing community that whenever someone brings up or even thinks about the sport, her name and face would always come into mind immediately.)
(From all the competitive videos she’s in, I can’t really blame anyone for doing that. It’s just…I don’t know what…maybe amazi-no…mesmerizing to watch her in action. When she’s in the water, the way she moves is so fluent and precise. No matter what move or trick she performed, she’s always in control of her movement without any kind of sway or stumble happening.)
(It looked like she had every ounce and droplet of water under her control and moved only by her instructions, it was like seeing her become one with it.)
(There’s actually fables about her from the locals in her town that said that she was loved and blessed by the Seven Seas and was granted control over the water. Thus the people gave her the name Goddess of Surfing, or at least that was part of the reason.)
(For her to be given the title and respect she has now, it all started back when she first got into the surfing scene.)
(If I remember correctly, in a biography Bridgette started surfing at the age of 8 and entered several Junior Surfing Competitions at the time. Though surprisingly she didn’t have the insane skills she has now and used to land on 6th or 7th place, her highest was 3rd. )
(But that didn’t discourage her at all, in fact that just made her love for surfing even stronger. She would surf at any time that’s given to her—whether day or night, weekday or weekend, or even school day or holiday, she just kept on surfing.)
(Then by the age of 10, she started showing her skills and continuously dominate every competition around and getting 1st place in all of them. This kept going until she was 13 and was specially invited to partake in the Global Ranking Competition due to her achievements.)
(But unfortunately for some reason when she showed up to the rankings, she wasn’t able to perform at her best and got a pretty mediocre score at the end. When the competition was over, she was ranked #56 in the world.)
(The reasons for her performance back then are still unknown to this day. A lot of people, including myself, believed that it was due to bets and that she owed money. It seems kind of harsh given the kind of person she is, but this theory holds strong for everyone given what happened next when the rankings was over.)
(On that day after everything was over, a sudden massive storm hit the beach where all the competitors were still far out in the water. Even though every single one of them tried to escape and reach land, they were eaten and swallowed by the raging waves each time.)
(Screeches of panic and fear could be heard on the beach and echoed throughout the city. No one dared to come and rescue the surfers even the likelihood of more casualties in play. All hope seemed loss and no one could do anything…well anyone except for a lone 14 year old girl out there in the water.)
(With her exceptional skills and control, not only did she avoid all the dangers that lied before her, but she also managed to rescue everyone, one by one, from either drowning or crashing into rocks, and safely escort them to land.)
(When everything was over, all the surfers and townspeople crowded around her in order to give thanks and praise to her. Even renown veteran surfers, who ranked #1 before, came over and was dumbfounded by her talent. That was the day where her name became known to the world.)
*both chatters about*
(Man it sure is nice to meet someone normal around here, I was worried that I’d be too plain to talk to anyone casually. Luckily it doesn’t seem to be the case~)
*continues to chatter*
*pause*
*awkward silence*
“…..”
“…………….”
“……………………..”
(CRAP!!!…I ran out of normal things to talk about! Come one man, you gotta think of something!!)
(Man she sure is nice~… just waiting on you to respond without any judgement or a look on her face. Any guy would be lucky to have her……..Damnmit, if only she was my type, I would’ve tried better…No! keep your head straight man, make friends first, then reach a higher goal later.)
(Think, all you’ve been talking about are things about you, maybe trying talking about things she likes….mmmmmmmm………aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh….Can’t think of anything ……Oh well….Maybe just go for the most obvious thing first.)
“So…About the ocean, what do you like about it so much that you would just stare out at it?”
*instant regret*
*suddenly Bridgette’s eyes gleamed and started endlessly prattling on about the amazing wonders of the seas and her love for surfing because of it…..for hours*
(My god……that was a terrible decision….THIS IS ENDLESS!!!…She became such a chatterbox, and here I thought I found someone normal.)
(Wait…That’s not fair, I shouldn’t think that. She does seem nice and would be a good friend…..Bbbbbbuuuuuuuuuutttttttttt, maybe I should avoid talking about surfing or water in general…for my own sake.)

Marinette had a bad day, and this time transforming into Ladybug doesn’t help.
Chat Noir plucks her off the Eiffel Tower for a pep talk.
Marinette spiraling a little after being reminded just how much of a physical difference there is between her and Ladybug and Chat cheering her up and reminding her that they’re one and the same.
Going out on Midsummer had been a very bad idea, Adrien was able to admit that much. He couldn’t regret running into a girl named Marinette though, who had helped him through the time where Faerie tried to call him with sweet songs.
He really wanted to get to know her better, but there was a slight problem: he was a Cat Sidhe and if she found out about it, she might as well be proclaimed dead on the spot. But the loneliness he had seen in her eyes had been too familiar for him to just leave her alone. Keeping her ignorant of the presence of the fair folk, while he himself was one of them, proved to be a lot harder than he had expected it to be though.
Spellbound updated! (ﾉ⌒∇⌒)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧※☆°＊*・.:.
So I’ve rec’d it before hereandhere but to reiterate:
Faedrien (cat sidhe) twins au with changeling!Bridgette. Love square romance, AroAce!Felix, kwami backstory, miraculous lore, lots of Fae lore, Bridgette backstory, kwami swaps, and lots of other fun stuff!
Aang knew those swords. He’d seen them every day, felt the warm, if rough, presence of their owner in all his hardest moments and coldest flights. He was a strong figure, gentle in his own way. A Firebender who still used swords.

There needs to be more platonic soulmate AUs, you guys. Come on. Who wants to see Zuko get dragged into his redemption arc by his soulmates?
So TunaFishChris’s The Family You Choose is still my favorite iteration of the idea of soulmates I’ve ever come across. When you touch blood with your soulmate you share memories and exist like a ghost in their life that only they can interact with. Both of the above stories are takes on that au.
Because of the nature of this character, is super interesting to draw. I find her adorable so I ask his owner, peskybatfish,if I could draw her. I’m really happy with the result.
