[She runs her hands down her sides, stopping at her hips.]

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that you seem to forget that people like me are full of surprises.

[OH GOD SHE KNOWS.]

[She lets out an offended grunt, hair returning to normal.]

Why, I shed my first body right before your eyes, don't you remember? [She pokes the side of his temple with a finger, before looking him right in the eyes.]

You're the one who made this ring to bring this beastly and sexy form to ++

[ He is… stunned. His piercing amber gaze looks her up and down. Twice. ]

You’re telling me you can achieve something beyond this?

How could you possibly know? You’ve never transformed.

[ Gobsmacked might be the right word. Also: definitely turned on. ]

[She looks to her husband, hair rearing up, but she looks-- not angry. In fact, she looks rather pleased with herself. She lets out a little devilish snicker.]

You think THIS is my final form? Pah. A foolish underestimation of me, Benjamin. I can get even stronger~

[Working in her greenhouse again.]

Ahh, once you are perfect, the kids next door will not stand a chance, my precious petunias....

[A wicked cackle escapes, reverberating through the area like a maddened witch's laugh, and what a perfect way to describe this new being... a madness-stricken witch.]

. . . Then, I apologize for assuming. [It sounds genuine...kinda. Knowing what the ring has done to her, it must be hard for this Gloriosa to be genuine these days.]

And they WILL be afraid of us. All I need is a little bit more energy.

[What the fuck does she mean by that.]

🔥 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. @toastytyrant.bsky.social · Mar 22

I’m not angry over your reaction! It’s your assumption, and the fact that you voiced that assumption in front of them!

I don’t need you to be afraid of me. I need them to be afraid of US.

[She turns as the fire wall erupts upward.]

Let me be clear, I'm sorry for accusing you, but I'm NOT sorry for going mental about it. Also, let me make something else very clear.

[She towers over him, and utters a phrase.]

I am NOT afraid of you.

. . . I'm not sorry. The book shouldn't have been taken in the first place.

[She grunts, before running down the stairs to make sure everything was in tact.]

🔥 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. @toastytyrant.bsky.social · Mar 21

You mean THAT ONE?

[ Jerking his head in the direction of it, since he can’t use his arms. ]

Dearest, it’s right there. Will you calm down? Whoever took it clearly recognized the danger they were in.

THE COOKBOOK, BEN. WHERE IS MY FAMILY'S COOKBOOK.

You have to tell me what you’re talking about!

[ He didn’t do anything wrong, but the sound of her footsteps running up those stairs is enough to strike the fear of god into anyone.

Hell, and there isn’t enough room for him under the desk. Stupid kids. ]

[LIFTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO FIND WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR. DOES NOT FIND IT. SLAMS IT DOWN.]

[Tearing the kitchen apart in a rage.]

WHERE IS IT!?

[She howls angrily, vines lashing and splitting in rage.]

[Sigh. She supposes that IS important. But, maybe herd them all into a giant cannon and shoot them into space with no protective gear next time.]

[ In hindsight, yes, she has a point. But it was less about tastiness and more about destroying beastly brats.

And doing so ✨dramatically✨ ]

[ He’s not relying on anything! He merely gets the sense he’s being deceived in some way.

Honestly, who and what could ever compare to her baking? Truly.

… That being said—will she indulge him? ]
