"How great that Ashura has made some new acquaintances and found a way to make money for his skills. Much better than life as a lonely delivery boy. It is good to see him interacting with people and making a positive contribution -- it makes him seem so much less isolated.
What has Vine become? It is very weird that he/it would go from being Ashura's lover to his pet. Is the tingling Ashura feels sometimes from Vine's touch an attempt at communication??
Must ... read ... more ..." - circe
circe - Yush~ And he's making even MORE acquaintances. ;w;
Hurrhurrhurr. You shall see, my pretty. You shall see. >'D
The tingling IS the right thing to notice, but I can't tell you if you're right or not. ;'3
"OMG its an ALIENUH! a plot twist indeed =]. I'm so happy for ashura too T^T...it seems like he has found a place to belong! and if my theory proves to be true, there will be SOMEONE there to belong with him in the shape of wiggly tentacles yayy. lol. do keep up the good work xD" - ellie
ellie - XDD! TOTALLY! (not)
Heehee, thank you! I shall try. ;w; <3
"IS VINE GOING TO BECOME A HUMAN?! Oh my god, what if Vine's a... a... SHAPESHIFTER?! That would be so cool :D But I really don't know what he is right now! To be honest, Ashura thinking that Vine was a chameleon plant wasn't far from what I was thinking, hee hee. Well it kind of made sense...? I mean, when he was in the forest, he was all... green and viney and, well, plant like! And now... he's squishy? We're squishy! Humans are squishy, right?
Vine moves! If I was in Ashura's place, I'd completely freak out, so kudos to him for not screaming like a little girl and running away. Your plant crawling out of its pot and then jumping off the table to you... can get a little scary.
But then again... if Vine became a human... that'd mean there would be no more tentacle sex! ): (the pervert in me starts to show!) I couldn't imagine you not writing anymore tentacle Ashura smut ): So... even if Vine turned into a squishy human and lived happily ever with Ashura ... sex just wouldn't be the same! Ashura said so himself, that he could probably never have regular sex again LOL! :D
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! I wanna know what happens to Vine!" - Tranquil
Tranquil - Hm... if he were a shapeshifter, wouldn't it be easier to just turn human right then and there? *wonders if that's giving too much away* Hm... And the chameleon thing could work, ne? I mean, he's hanging around Ashura so much? xD *won't say whether or not that's what it is, though* -w-
Haha, so then? What should it be? Tentacles or a person to talk to? ;'3
"Ooooo an excellent plot twist. I honestly didn't see that coming. This certainly changes things up. I'm interested to see how little Vine is going to develop from here on.
I love that Ashura is mixing well with the nearby town. He's made friends and everything and even has a little business running! I'm so happy for him" - Yofen
Yofen - Yo-a, 'Fen!
HARHAR. Man, it surprises me how many people seriously didn't see that coming. Owo
It makes me feel like I'm doing such a good job. ;w; My story isn't being predictable or boring at all. Yay!
"Wow, no I didn't see THAT coming! So what the heck is Vine? He had roots; how could he just up and "crawl", or "walk" around? Kinda creepy! lol
On a really good note: I'm glad Ashura is acclimating himself to his new world; his new town. I'm glad he's making friends and people are liking him." - Lisa
Lisa - Fffft. ;w; Vine is a weird tentacle creature, of course! Duh! ;'P
;w; Yes~ It is nice, isn't it?
"oh man oh man oh man, me!? lol. im gushing. that made me smile all crazily.
anywho...
awesome, you keep spinning out these nice long updates really fast.
aw sweet, hes made a reputation for himself.
maybe news will spread and reach the capitol and naia the elf girl and shell come and investigate.
i still think its odd how he ended up in his pops home of all places... well, i dont know that for sure. you havent said yet. but everyones betting that it is his pops home.
sorta glad that that horrible event happened, other wise ash would still be at his home village taking that bs everyday... not to be horrid for saying that, i mean come on, the vine survived. itll grow. lol. what a terrible thing i said.
nice info and details on the village. new friends too! thats fantastic. oh man, everythings going so well, and thats when you know something bads gonna happen. now im weary.
donts cool. so is his name. dont.
neat! thats really something, putting mana into the crystal for light. nice creativity there...
i really like where youre going with ashuras character developement.
he fails the first time, but gets it the second time around. like me...
omg. that was some fit of panicking.
lol! wtf!!! has vine the plant transformed into a creature?
oooooooooooohman. vine is brown and squishy, and walking! wowoowowowoah.
lol. i just got a shiver reading that bit where it touched his foot.
does it have eyes? a mouth?
and whats with the tingeling feeling vibe ash gets from it.
whoever or whatever vine is, i bet they/it was cracking up watching ashura freaking out trying to find vine when it was right there all along.
what to do next? well ya gotta feed it.
well. i totally was not expecting what happened in this chapter, thats goood! really good. the story is staying mysterious and not obvious. driving me nuts tho, like i gotta know what the heck vine is.... maybe naia could help ash figure it out...
lol. you know what it made me picture, in harry potter when the students in herbology class pull out the mandrakes in hp and the chamber of secrets. remember those silly lil fat screaming roots?
or does it look like a lil brown squid or something. probally something closer to that.... its just SO WEIRD. i love it. KUDOS for doing something so different and origional. makes it worthwile coming onto aff...
and ive secretly had this thing for tentacles since reading maiafays 'resident evil' fanfic called 'Rare Side Effects May Include the Following:'.... yea, its the truth. its her fault. ive only ever found like one other story that had tentacles in it too. it was on aff too... er. lol. i cant think of the name but i have it in my faves somewhere. if youre interested ill find it and tell ya.
well, i cant to find out more about ashuras mysterious dad and what vine is...
HAPPY 100 REVIEWS!!!!
no way! i just went to your lv. you have a pic of ash and vine! aaaawwwww
thats too cute... and weird.
lols
so i just saw on your lv that you said you researched alot, and as a reader i respect and appreciate that and your hard work.
keep up the great work and dont blow it." - spoonring
spoonring - THANK YOU! 8'D
Buhyeah,l don't feel terrible. The reason for having to leave was a terrible, terrible one, but leaving in itself WAS good. *nods* Ashura can finally be happy now. :'D
I think... he'll find it worth it... eventually. ;w; Though he'll probably always blame himself for what happened to Vine. *nods*
And no, Vine is just a mass of tentacles, basically. No eyes, no mouth, no ears, no nose--at least, none that are visible. O_o;
*laughs* I would crack up, too, if I were Vine and saw Ashura flipping his shit like that. Though... I probably would feel a bit bad to see my dear human afraid of me. ;w;
I'm damned glad it's not obvious! I've planned everything out very, very carefully. The last thing I want is for it to be boring and typical. D:
Really, the fact that everyone seems surprised about the story itself--a tentacle love story--is surprising to me. I think someone called me original for having a tentacle plant. Which, is kinda odd. I think I've seen dozens of yaoi/hentai pictures with tentacle plants. O3o; I've even read a couple fanfics. I guess how I'm doing it though, with the tentacle plant actually being something you could truly care for, is something different, nejano? xD
And no, that is nowhere NEAR what Vine looks like. (Hopefully you saw the link at the beginning of my chapter update? --that's what Vine looks like.)
Oh, and thank you about the picture. x'3 I'm glad you like it. *nods*
And thank you--I DO research a hella lot. @A@;; Sometimes I end up spending several hours on it for just one chapter. -w-;
"awesome twist! lol" - kyuubifreak
kyuubifreak - ;w; Thank you!
"wow you update very fast. I like this story a lot better then your last one. I the other one was a one shot? I like your story. =) Good Job" - duzzie
duzzie - Thank you!
Ashura and his Vined Beast was a one shot, yes. Tentacle Beginning Story was the prequel to Tentacle Love Story and has five chapters.
"are you making vine evolve/adapt in response to the attack and the need to be more of what ashura needs? oh oh the possibilities. Loved the quick update hope you do it again. yay!" - addiena_saffir
addiena_saffir - Mmm, I would say he is responded to something... but I'm not sure if it's really to that. xD
Anyway, thank you for your review and support! ;w;
"You got me! When Vine disappeared from the pot, I joined Ashura in having a major freak out moment. I was convinced that poor Vine had been kidnapped! Now I am trying to imagine what Vine is looking like. I am imagining something looking like one of those jellyfish with the extra long and wavy te tentacles. Or a small Squidward from Spongebob. I need a picture! I am wondering if Vine is a creature that goes through metamorphosis stages like the way a caterpillar can change into a butterfly. Maybe this is the stage where they move about and find a good spot to settle. I wonder how long Vine will be able to stay out of the pot. Anyway I loved this chapter. It made my jaw drop. I am just happy that it is the same affectionate Vine and that he has so much love for Ashura.
Now we know what Vine was doing to occupy himself while Ashura was away on his trip to town." - kylee
kylee - AWWW! ;w; *glad that you care so much*
Heehee. ;'D *says nothing*
Well, I've got a picture of what Vine looks like--hopefully you'll see it at the beginning of chapter 11. owo
*nods* Yes. ;w; *laughs*
And thank you! x'3
"Ashura is dooing good. XD That's so nice and Vine developed! :) I don't have the slightest idea what Ashura's little friend is but it's so amusing reading about their interactions. And now Vine will be able to stick to Ashura all the time. LOL It's also nice to know that Ashura is making friends in the village. I'll be waiting eagerly for more chapters!" - Kasai-chan
Kasai-chan - *dies* Yes, Vine is going to definitely take advantage of its ability to move about now. ;w;
Poor Ashura. *snickers*
"Oh my goodness...I want a Vine pet too!! It's so cute! And another twist to the story, you are quite good at that *g*" - Anita
Anita - Ohgosh, I know. *wants a little Vine, as well. ;w;
Thank you! I'm always worried that it'll be too obvious or predictable. xD;
"I keep hoping he will turn into a humanoid tentacle thingy using magic! I'm waiting for the day vine can finally speak loving words to Ashura! I think it's great that his new villages finally accepts him for the great person he is, and I wonder if anyone from his past village will show up and ruin everything for him again. I mean 2 weeks of traveling on foot isn't that far away, and using a carriage or even just riding horseback would be faster. Will the lady elf show up again? Keep up with this amazing story!" - kyouteki
kyouteki - *laughs* Well, keep hoping. Maybe it'll happen?
Well, if you think about it, this world is KINDA like the medieval one, ne? There are travelers, but people that have been born and raised in a village will probably never leave it. Two weeks is quite a ways away for those types of people.
Anyway, thank you! x'3
"Awesome surprise! Could you (or someone else) maybe have drawn the tentacle-creature? I'm not sure if I'm imagining it right.. X3 And will Ashura and his little "pet" be able to communicate better than they have been now that the little thing is not a plant anymore?... Anyways, great chapter and keep up the good work!! 8D" - Darkest Red
Darkest Red - JOTAKU DELIVERS!! >D
I drew a picture 'cause you asked. Hopefully it'll be helpful? ;w;
And thank you! x'3
":O You suprised me immensely, I must admit. Good job! Love the idea, can't wait to see what it turns out to be." - lamme
lamme - Wooh! It really does surprise me how many people I've caught off guard with that. xD
*glad* ;w;
Thank you!
"I'm heeeeeeerrreeeee teaaachhheeerrr~~~ *raises hand from somewhere underneath the table*
*blinks* wow. i'm probably the last reviewer for this chapter.
it's been an interesting chapter...
firstly... *sighs* everything's so nice and fine, and smiles, and winks, and giggles, and laughter and playful banter...
it feels wrong somehow. so much nice-ness.
or maybe I'm just a weirded out person living in a twisted world o_O" so all this nice-ness feels very weird to me.
but well... we haven't met the entire village yet. so, who knows...
I just hope no one from the old village Ashura used to live in would come by. but i get the feeling, if any one from the old village does come, and talks bad about Ashura, Dont and the rest will stand up for him.
Hmmmm~~~ *nods nods*
and so! Vine EVOLVES!!!
from green-coarse-textured PLANT ... into .... smooth-squishy-brown CREATURE
you know that part. when vine was at the edge of the table reaching out...
I imagined a 'Tangela' (a pokemon) doing that.... XD
he goes, 'just a little bit more... a little bit.... *plonk-falls* -the whole mass of tentacles freezes- then.... -sudden flurry of movement, before tentacle creature scrambles towards Ashura's foot *
so adorable! so very, O__O what-the-heck-is-going-on-but-wait.... that was sooo .... cute? ^___^""""
hahahhahhaha~! feels like watching a newborn trying to walk. or something like that...
initially, I was thinking. now that Vine is 'detachable' perhaps we can get some 'action' soon?
then I thought again.... 'But Vine is just a CHILD!!!' naughty naughty, no action! let the baby grow! xDDDD
then this other scene comes into my mind.
*Ashura walks into town, going from shop to shop, with this mass of cute wriggling tentacles (and two huge bug eyes) sitting on his shoulder* XDDDD gosh! xD
Is his name still going to be Vine? feels odd calling him "Vine" now, since he has more than ONE vine... and he's, well, a creature-thing.... o_O"
yeah, man. what IS he gonna eat? water and sunlight can't possibly enough for something that moves that much!
lawlage~~~ ... aaah nevemind.
hahahhahahhahahhahhahahhaha~! feels better. XD *Cracks up*
Is Vine-creature gonna follow ashura to the toilet. to the bath. to eat. to write *gets ink all over itself* XDDD
aaah okay. :D
I'll catch ya next chap.
I hope unexpected things don't suddenly drag me off (like yesterday) unexpectedly again today. who knows man. *Shrugs*
ps:
i'm probably the last reviewer. but I'll just point this out in case no one has already.
"...name and how it must have something to with shy, quiet people."
shouldn't it be '...have something to DO with shy...' missed out the "do"
"It wasn’t as though suddenly deciding to change your species just because was all that common."
the 'just because was all that common' part feels odd. maybe "just because it wasn't all that common" ? I don't know really..." Nekoii-desu
Nekoii - Ehh, everyone thinks it's gonna go bad/wrong. XD I mean, there will be troubles... but I'm not sure it's what everyone is expecting. ;w;'''
*thinks Love is rather tame from here on out*
*DIES* Basically! Minus the feet and eyes, of course. And a more brown color instead of... purplish? What color's Tangela? XD
And, well... I don't think Vine's really a child, per say, but Ashura sees it that way, too. *nods*
So he's not gonna try and get Vine to do naughty things with him just yet. XD
Fusososo~ That would be so cute!! ;A; *wishes Ashura could do that* ;w;
Awww....
And yeah, Ashura's gotten way too used to calling Vine Vine, he'll most likely stick with it. xD
About the mistakes--I fixed the first one you noticed, but the other one was supposed to be like that.
It's not like changing your species just because (just to do it) is all that common.
Thank you, though. And, like always, I've fixed the one mistake. owo
"Get ready for the greatest review of ALL TIME.
I'm so happy that Ashura got excepted to Hogwarts, dreams do come true!
I really like Dont also, even though I keep reading his name wrong, and I'm almost sure that I figured out /something/ that's going to happen in your story. What with the random "L" that Ashura thought stood for love, and Carem being oddly close to C'rem. I'm rather proud of myself, actually, for making that connection. That whole bullshit about you knowing as much as Ashura, is well, bullshit. You're the freaking writer! ;w;
I'm also shocked that Ashura is a pokemon trainer now and has a Caterpie. Is it some sort of shiny one? Because I sure didn't know that shiny Caterpie's were brown. What other pokemon is he going to find and capture while in the wilderness? And will Gandolf show up to show him some wizard ways?
Does he ever get a wizard robe and hat?" - Fetish
Fetish - *dies*
Oh gods, me, too. It's great to see that Ashura is finally learning his wizarding ways. ;w;
*laughs* Yeah, Dont is a pretty lovable character. I think I like all the characters in the village that I've made up so far. :'D
They're all really likable, I think. owo
*dies*
He TOTALLY is a wizard pokemon trainer, though it's not a Caterpie he uses, m'dear. It's a Tangela. XD
And no, it's not shiny, unfortunately. XDD *laughs*
Maybe. ;w;
Actually--yes. But that's not until Truth. xDD
********************************************
Chapter 11 Post-Chapter Author Notes:
Hahah! This chapter was so fun to write. xD
I absolutely adore Penello and hope others do, too. ;w;
I love fiery females. (I've never really been one much for those shy, timid types.... I find those types of characters so boring.)
Anyway, I have another female character I'll be introducing with the next chapter, and Dynsel, as well.
Ugh... I also need to get around to updating my Character Index. Not tonight, though. It's 2:30 am and I'm exhausted. ;w;''
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys Ashura's interactions with the town as much as I enjoy writing them. xD
And I hope you can all forgive Penello for being a silly teenage girl.
The drawing of Vine as it is now can be seen in the newest entry after this. -w-

I think it's great that his new villages finally accepts him for the great person he is, and I wonder if anyone from his past village will show up and ruin everything for him again. I mean 2 weeks of traveling on foot isn't that far away, and using a carriage or even just riding horseback would be faster. Will the lady elf show up again? Keep up with this amazing story!" - kyouteki
kyouteki - *laughs* Well, keep hoping. Maybe it'll happen?
Well, if you think about it, this world is KINDA like the medieval one, ne? There are travelers, but people that have been born and raised in a village will probably never leave it. Two weeks is quite a ways away for those types of people.
Anyway, thank you! x'3
"Awesome surprise! Could you (or someone else) maybe have drawn the tentacle-creature? I'm not sure if I'm imagining it right.. X3 And will Ashura and his little "pet" be able to communicate better than they have been now that the little thing is not a plant anymore?... Anyways, great chapter and keep up the good work!! 8D" - Darkest Red
Darkest Red - JOTAKU DELIVERS!! >D
I drew a picture 'cause you asked. Hopefully it'll be helpful? ;w;
And thank you! x'3
":O You suprised me immensely, I must admit. Good job! Love the idea, can't wait to see what it turns out to be." - lamme
lamme - Wooh! It really does surprise me how many people I've caught off guard with that. xD
*glad* ;w;
Thank you!
"I'm heeeeeeerrreeeee teaaachhheeerrr~~~ *raises hand from somewhere underneath the table*
*blinks* wow. i'm probably the last reviewer for this chapter.
it's been an interesting chapter...
firstly... *sighs* everything's so nice and fine, and smiles, and winks, and giggles, and laughter and playful banter...
it feels wrong somehow. so much nice-ness.
or maybe I'm just a weirded out person living in a twisted world o_O" so all this nice-ness feels very weird to me.
but well... we haven't met the entire village yet. so, who knows...
I just hope no one from the old village Ashura used to live in would come by. but i get the feeling, if any one from the old village does come, and talks bad about Ashura, Dont and the rest will stand up for him.
Hmmmm~~~ *nods nods*
and so! Vine EVOLVES!!!
from green-coarse-textured PLANT ... into .... smooth-squishy-brown CREATURE
you know that part. when vine was at the edge of the table reaching out...
I imagined a 'Tangela' (a pokemon) doing that.... XD
he goes, 'just a little bit more... a little bit.... *plonk-falls* -the whole mass of tentacles freezes- then.... -sudden flurry of movement, before tentacle creature scrambles towards Ashura's foot *
so adorable! so very, O__O what-the-heck-is-going-on-but-wait.... that was sooo .... cute? ^___^""""
hahahhahhaha~! feels like watching a newborn trying to walk. or something like that...
initially, I was thinking. now that Vine is 'detachable' perhaps we can get some 'action' soon?
then I thought again.... 'But Vine is just a CHILD!!!' naughty naughty, no action! let the baby grow! xDDDD
then this other scene comes into my mind.
*Ashura walks into town, going from shop to shop, with this mass of cute wriggling tentacles (and two huge bug eyes) sitting on his shoulder* XDDDD gosh! xD
Is his name still going to be Vine? feels odd calling him "Vine" now, since he has more than ONE vine... and he's, well, a creature-thing.... o_O"
yeah, man. what IS he gonna eat? water and sunlight can't possibly enough for something that moves that much!
lawlage~~~ ... aaah nevemind.
hahahhahahhahahhahhahahhaha~! feels better. XD *Cracks up*
Is Vine-creature gonna follow ashura to the toilet. to the bath. to eat. to write *gets ink all over itself* XDDD
aaah okay. :D
I'll catch ya next chap.
I hope unexpected things don't suddenly drag me off (like yesterday) unexpectedly again today. who knows man. *Shrugs*
ps:
i'm probably the last reviewer. but I'll just point this out in case no one has already.
"...name and how it must have something to with shy, quiet people."
shouldn't it be '...have something to DO with shy...' missed out the "do"
"It wasn’t as though suddenly deciding to change your species just because was all that common."
the 'just because was all that common' part feels odd. maybe "just because it wasn't all that common" ? I don't know really..." Nekoii-desu
Nekoii - Ehh, everyone thinks it's gonna go bad/wrong. XD I mean, there will be troubles... but I'm not sure it's what everyone is expecting. ;w;'''
*thinks Love is rather tame from here on out*
*DIES* Basically! Minus the feet and eyes, of course. And a more brown color instead of... purplish? What color's Tangela? XD
And, well... I don't think Vine's really a child, per say, but Ashura sees it that way, too. *nods*
So he's not gonna try and get Vine to do naughty things with him just yet. XD
Fusososo~ That would be so cute!! ;A; *wishes Ashura could do that* ;w;
Awww....
And yeah, Ashura's gotten way too used to calling Vine Vine, he'll most likely stick with it. xD
About the mistakes--I fixed the first one you noticed, but the other one was supposed to be like that.
It's not like changing your species just because (just to do it) is all that common.
Thank you, though. And, like always, I've fixed the one mistake. owo
"Get ready for the greatest review of ALL TIME.
I'm so happy that Ashura got excepted to Hogwarts, dreams do come true!
I really like Dont also, even though I keep reading his name wrong, and I'm almost sure that I figured out /something/ that's going to happen in your story. What with the random "L" that Ashura thought stood for love, and Carem being oddly close to C'rem. I'm rather proud of myself, actually, for making that connection. That whole bullshit about you knowing as much as Ashura, is well, bullshit. You're the freaking writer! ;w;
I'm also shocked that Ashura is a pokemon trainer now and has a Caterpie. Is it some sort of shiny one? Because I sure didn't know that shiny Caterpie's were brown. What other pokemon is he going to find and capture while in the wilderness? And will Gandolf show up to show him some wizard ways?
Does he ever get a wizard robe and hat?" - Fetish
Fetish - *dies*
Oh gods, me, too. It's great to see that Ashura is finally learning his wizarding ways. ;w;
*laughs* Yeah, Dont is a pretty lovable character. I think I like all the characters in the village that I've made up so far. :'D
They're all really likable, I think. owo
*dies*
He TOTALLY is a wizard pokemon trainer, though it's not a Caterpie he uses, m'dear. It's a Tangela. XD
And no, it's not shiny, unfortunately. XDD *laughs*
Maybe. ;w;
Actually--yes. But that's not until Truth. xDD

Chapter 11 Post-Chapter Author Notes:
Hahah! This chapter was so fun to write. xD
I absolutely adore Penello and hope others do, too. ;w;
I love fiery females. (I've never really been one much for those shy, timid types.... I find those types of characters so boring.)
Anyway, I have another female character I'll be introducing with the next chapter, and Dynsel, as well.
Ugh... I also need to get around to updating my Character Index. Not tonight, though. It's 2:30 am and I'm exhausted. ;w;''
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys Ashura's interactions with the town as much as I enjoy writing them. xD
And I hope you can all forgive Penello for being a silly teenage girl.
The drawing of Vine as it is now can be seen in the newest entry after this. -w-
