This Isn’t a Love Song (Except It Is)
by Bubbles, for Cecil—though they’d never admit that out loud. ( @scarletinq )
The classroom was empty after school, painted gold by the afternoon sun, and warm with the hush of spring. Bubbles sat hunched over their notebook, earphones half-in, pencil tapping the beat on their knee. Across from them, Cecil rested her chin on her arms, watching them with that infuriating softness that made Bubbles want to either melt or sprint a mile.
They chose to keep writing.
It was easier to focus on the lyrics than on the girl across the desk whose nose crinkled every time she laughed.
"you walk into the room like you don’t burn things down,
but your heart's all wildfire, and i would gladly burn."
Bubbles stopped, blinked. That was too much. They scratched it out.
Cecil leaned over a little. “Is it about someone?” she asked, voice casual but hopeful in the way only Cecil could manage. Like hope with its shoelaces untied, stumbling toward disaster.
Bubbles didn’t answer. Just tapped the page once and looked at her with their head tilted, the way they always did when they weren’t sure how to say something.
Cecil sat up a little straighter. “You can show me, if you want.”
And just like that, the panic began.
Because Bubbles had been writing this song about her, and now she was right there, leaning close, eyes bright and trusting. And for a second—just a second—they thought she might kiss them.
Their heart stopped. Fully stopped.
They looked at her lips. Then her eyes. Then their pencil. Then the door. Then back at her lips.
Cecil leaned a fraction closer. Bubbles inhaled sharply. She froze.
“No, no, sorry!” she whispered suddenly, waving her hands frantically. “I wasn’t—! I mean, I was, maybe, I don’t know what I was doing, I just—your handwriting is really pretty and I forgot how close we were and—oh no.”
Her glasses slipped down her nose in the chaos. Bubbles, still frozen, reached instinctively to help—and that was when it happened.
Their hair snagged on the tiny silver chain that held her glasses.
A pause. A breath. Cecil blinked. “Are we… stuck?”
Bubbles nodded miserably.
And then, slowly, Cecil started to laugh.
Not a mean laugh. Just soft and chaotic, the kind of laugh that ended with her head falling gently onto their shoulder. “You know,” she mumbled, “this feels like a metaphor for something.”
Bubbles, cheeks flushed red, mouthed: I like you too much for this.
Cecil didn’t see the words—but she didn’t need to. She felt it in the way Bubbles’ hands shook as they gently worked her hair free, the way they lingered just a second longer than needed near her face, like she was something sacred.
And then, when her hair was finally loose and their faces weren’t centimeters apart anymore, Bubbles handed her the notebook. No words. Just the pages, and their hope stitched into every chorus.
Cecil read quietly, biting her lip.
She looked up.
And leaned in again.
This time, Bubbles didn’t panic.
(Though their hands did shake when she held them.)
mayo,
soft as a lullaby,
bright as a dawn I didn't know I needed—
you love like it's breathing,
and somehow,
you never run out. <3
and to you
who i will never stop loving,
never stop fighting for,
you are the moonlight that follows after dusk.
the bit of light amidst the dark,
that i look forward to the most.
thank you đź’ś

This is lowkey a stretch but…do you guys think there’s any connection between the temsik Meteorit and the magatamas the fey family uses…

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
Maya Fey from Ace Attorney Pokémon team is:
Zorua (dark-type)
Alcremie [ruby swirl & ribbon sweet] (fairy-type)
Misdreavus (ghost-type)
Oricorio [sensu style] (ghost/flying-type)
Gible (dragon/ground-type)
Abra (psychic-type)
If you want more information on reasoning for these choices, feel free to ask!
"average person gets accused of murder 3 times in their life" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person gets accused of murder 0 times in their life. spirit channeler Maya, who gets accused of murder every two seconds, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
MAYA NO
the three cardinal sins of pokemon: be a woman, be kalossian, be connected to chairman rose in some way
Which Ace Attorney Characters could get away with murder?
Phoenix: Absolutely has the skills to get away with murder, but he doesn't seem like the type to plan one out ahead of time which'll bite him in the ass. I'd say, he has 7/10 odds of getting away with it. Maya: Even when taking Phoenix out of the equation, Maya could easily get away with murder. You can only be falsely accused so many times before the trial becomes a joke. Pearl: Assuming Morgan's dumb ass isn't involved, she's got a decent chance. Her age means she's constantly underestimated, but she doesn't quite get a lot of modern tech which could cause problems. Edgeworth: He confessed to an accidental murder he didn't even commit years down the line. No way could his ass get away with murder. Franziska: Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Franziska is flexible enough to get away with murder. Mia: I genuinely think the only reason she didn't kill Redd White is because she couldn't have gotten away with it. Klavier: I feel like Trilogy Era Klav could, barely. After he's famous? Forget it. Apollo: You'd think lie detecting superpowers wouldn't even make this a question, but no way in hell. Least likely to get away with murder on this list. Trucy: Easily. Phoenix could take the case, and I'd still give her pretty good odds. Athena: I think she'd almost get away with it, but get caught at the last possible second. Ema: Would be caught the fastest, since nobody else would commit a murder like that.

My Turo && Sada Interpretation
Go HERE for my rambles && headcanons if you are interested !!
I would say this is a redesign, but this is just how I see them in my delusions just so they can be differentiated from the canon! I drew Sada that has a bit more color coordination with Turo's palette because its another violet centric AU (With a few Scarlet elements because of Pokespe). I like how this turned out and I hope you all like it too!
Wings of fire au???? Hell yeah
Gumshoe- mudwing
Phoenix- icewing
