#<- my dumb tag meme tag from 2014

[chronotopes]

also my nightly span of relistening to hit single ankles (2025) reminded me that kestrel memed me yesterday for a 'name ten songs' variety meme. i regrettably do still use spotify a lot so i am going to shuffle my on repeat:

wait shit i forgot to tag. hi @gideonthefirst

expert in a dying field – the beths. one of the most songs in the world. i'm literally not even an expert in a dying field right now at least not on the level of the song's metaphor but i still know how it feels. me and elizabeth stokes are always out there, knowing how it feels.

orlando in love – japanese breakfast. again i don't care how goofy 'melancholic brunettes and sad women' is as a title, MORE ORLANDO INAMORATO REFERENCES IN SONGWRITING NOW. i also really love the instrumentation in this one.

ankles - lucy dacus. i think we are all aware of how i feel about ankles by lucy dacus.

the damn thing is cursed - pretty bitter. it is genuinely fucked up how many times the universe has conspired to prevent me from seeing pretty bitter since the last time. anyway. I WANNA LEAVE THE DOOR WIDE OPEN BUT I WON'T!!!!!!! so true pretty bitter.

heads carolina, tails california – jo dee messina. it is winter and i get to listen to 90s girl country if i want to. who up tossing a coin to go somewhere greener somewhere warmer. (after texting chloe today i'm really tempted to do my chapel hill road trip this spring before it's too late... stay tooned)

mobile – the mountain goats. oldie but a goodie. what else is there to say.

the district sleeps alone tonight – the postal service. recently on rotation, maybe not for the better, but i love songs about places especially when they're places i'm connected to. song that led me to look up washington dc song-themed playlists and find the most dumbshit pseudo-dark academia playlists from young professionals working in politics that ive ever seen.

claim your ghost – iron and wine. sorry for iron and wine being an inextricable part of my music taste at one point that's not my fault either

we cannot go without dancing – emma (2020) soundtrack. we literally cannot do without dancing

apple – charli xcx. i like listening to brat back-to-back (lol) way more than i like putting it on playlists but i guess apple is a recent exception. a fun little tune. (my favorites from the album are all the sad ones but THOSE are album context only thank you very much)

tagging @eiqhties because seren is a real one who always tags me in song memes and tagging @prettyeaves because shes my wife. tagging anyone else who wants to do it but no pressure.

CW this post will discuss self harm and contain spoilers for the movie Grimcutty

Wanted to scroll a movie tag so I could vibe with what I presumed would be a really enthusiastic tumblr community but all I got was a bunch of ppl being stupid and dumb and most of all utterly devoid of whimsy smh

Anywaaay for all its flaws Grimcutty is a fuckin awesome movie if you ask me

Is it stupid? Oh fuck yeah

Is it entertaining? Absolutely

Does it have good representation? Shockingly enough yeah actually which was really refreshing to see in such a genre especially considering no one died except for the [extremely White tm] mommy blogger

The movie centers around the premise of an internet scary image challenge [reminiscent of the Momo Challenge and Creepypasta stories such as Smile.jpg from when I was in school] that causes “screen addicted” children to act out violently through manners of self harm, suicide, and even murder. What makes this movie interesting is that in some sense the fear parents feel is very real, as it is the mass paranoia and hysteria surrounding this meme known as the Grimcutty Challenge that causes it to appear.

Even ignoring everything else the concept of monsters that feed on fear is not new, but that doesn’t make it less interesting. Grimcutty however flips the traditional sense of the trope on its head: it’s not your own fear that gets you hurt, it’s the obsessive worry of others. The more you worry about someone committing to the challenge the more the entity will target them. Which all on its own is fascinating.

Most complaints I’ve seen are quick to write the movie off for its narrative decision to use these internet challenges and memes as the catalyst of the story; the people complaining are not considering the point of horror media, in my opinion, when they do this. For as long as it has existed the purpose of fearful stories and horrific tales is to exaggerate real problems. While the issues presented in the movie may not be as prevalent as they were when I was younger they were still very much real.

I remember being in school and hearing kids complain about limited access to devices at home due to their parents catching wind of things like the Momo Challenge. More than that however I remember the wave of paranoia that followed the very real Slenderman Stabbings that occurred in 2014. Even my own parents, who generally tend to stay level headed and rational, had a few worried conversations about what had happened at the time, knowing my sibling and I were fans of the stories that made up Creepypasta at the time. It was such a powerful event that it legitimately changed the entirety of my school’s social landscape, no one was permitted to use the computer labs for about two weeks, an assembly about it was hosted, and a lot of kids had their schools changed. The event had happened over 2,000 miles [about 3,218 kilometers] from my home and yet the fear that parents felt was so real that even my classmates were afraid of anyone who was known to enjoy those stories.

Grimcutty takes that sort of hysteria around things like that and turns it up to eleven, and it does everything right by doing so. While the teens in the movie are clearly written by people who aren’t 100% in on current youth culture it makes them no less relatable overall. The main character, Asha, is reasonably desperate to find a way to bring her situation to a halt, and her peers are frustrated, outraged at times even, at the older generation’s fixation on fear. Parents will worry, and kids will find it annoying, but this movie does a good job of showing how bad things can get when both sides refuse to listen to the feelings of the other. Overprotective parents with a platform from which to speak are often the sort of force that sparks such hysterics and panics in communities, a single seed of doubt is all that ever really needs to be planted.

The movie itself is well made overall, it was by no means perfect but it did its job and told its story quite nicely. It helps to have people to watch it with, though as a fan of live commentating my thoughts while watching things I am a bit biased. While the emotions and situations are exaggerated for the sake of theatrics it does well not to lead into the drop off point of unbelievable, especially to someone like me who was a kid when these fears were big amongst parents. It held its tension well and was genuinely terrifying at times, a good balance of pacing and energy. Much like It Follows and Smile it handles the moments of calm between attacks well without letting the fear and suspense completely dissipate, more often than not even making it worse by leaving characters blindly too calm and unaware of their surroundings.

Overall I’m thoroughly disappointed in the platform that truly helped nourish and create the Creepypasta community back in the day for dismissing a movie that captures the very real backlash received for such things at the time. With that said I highly encourage checking it out for the love of all things horror, so be advised however about the subject matter, I would recommend reading its warnings on Does the Dog Die for preparation.

Anyway if you actually bothered to read this far you deserve a treat so here is a picture of my cat

[sunnymused]

GET TO KNOW THE MUN!

NAME ? andy

PRONOUNS ? they/them

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION ? discord! i'm on discord all the time lol, but i don't mind plotting through tumblr dms if that's easier!

MOST ACTIVE MUSE ? at the moment, i'm only writing the daycare attendant. between the two of them, i think sun is more active at any given moment. he has a lot to say all the time.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS ? i started roleplaying 10 or so years ago with my cousin (we sent texts), and i've been on and off of tumblr since 2014. i prefer to do most of my writing on tumblr, but roleplay servers can be a lot of fun, too!

BEST EXPERIENCE ? it's hard to pick just one. i've made so many friends through tumblr over the years, and i just think that collaborative writing is incredibly fun so... all of it? is that a cop-out? in the five nights at freddy's fandom specifically, i really enjoyed all of my threads with @glamgatorr. i think my favorite was the one where gregory and monty were fighting over which song to play over the intercom, i think about that one a lot.

RP PET PEEVE ? i think reblog karma is kind of dumb but... it's your blog so do whatever you want? gatekeeping what people can do on their own blogs is stupid, that'll be my answer. (also everyone who has been sending anon hate. it's 2023, you are sad if you send anon hate.)

PLOTS OR MEMES ? i am not a plot driven person, i prefer memes any day. personally, a ton of short threads is more fun than one long thread, but that's just because i don't really have the attention span for long threads and they stress me out a little bit. if we have long threads, they might take me longer to reply to.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES ? see above ^

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES ? i think i'm similar to sun. i'm very talkative and passionate about things that i enjoy, and i try to be a friendly and approachable person. i think it makes it easier for me to write sun, because i can pull from how i might deal with a situation (although he is significantly more patient than i am.) however, i usually have way more fun writing moon for the opposite reason.

TAGGED BY? i stole it from @cultbunny TAGGING ? if you haven't done this yet, consider yourself tagged!

Honesty RIP to the 2012-2014 tumblr era when all my IRL friends were on here and we’d just post for each other and tag each other in stuff and I’d run into my college roommates room to show her a dumb possum meme that made me cry from laughing

[accursedthing]

If u make a post about why you don't like a character or a ship, that's fine. U can have ur opinion and u can put it on your own page to your hearts content.

If u tag that post with the character/ship that you're talking shit about, die

Your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing (or art) over the past year

actually doing the thing (to mixed results!) I wrote. and Posted. 20 fics last year. (as opposed to 8 in 2021 and 7 in 2020, and 3 in 2019 and 1 in 2018. and none for 2017 - 2014) i guess just every decade i have. a bunch of fic in me. bc in 2012 i wrote like 20 again. 

physicality / grounding characters in their body - I think that I just. Really picked up on that, writing more short scenes without much plot, where. how someone feels physically *matters*

???? I guess writing things with an internal logic. i literally have no clue.

Your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year,

doin the damn thing. following thru on ideas I have rather than just. letting the idea go.

not feeling like every fic i post is like. bad. Not in comparison to other people’s fic, just that no one’s gonna like it at all. idk. it’s dumb? but it’s how i feel. working on getting over that.

And your number 1 favourite line you've written this year!

it’s not from a fic at all! It’s from very late December, when Max was first sighted in a contact jersey at skate. And @himbeaux-on-ice expressed their melancholic stare into the middle distance about it (much like the “will my husband ever return from the war” meme), and i said

“Turns out your husband DID return from war. He's just not coming home to you.”

The Emergency! Fandom Intro Meme

Rules: Not much to say here! Copy-paste this into a new post (and feel free to link back to this one if you’d like) and answer the questions as you see fit if you’d like to tell the rest of the fandom a bit more about yourself. This meme is generally tag-free and open to everyone who wants to do it (but feel free to informally tag people you’d like to know more about). You can tag your reply as “#E! intro meme” if you’d like.

How’d you find this show and the fandom? How long have you been here? Yeah, so funny story, I’d known about the show as far back as 2014 or 2015. My parents used to watch it a lot when it was on MeTV but I figured it was just another cheesy old show, so I didn’t pay any attention to it. By late 2016 I decided to finally pay attention. At first I sorta just laughed at the aforementioned 70′s TV cheesiness, but after awhile I realized it wasn’t all that bad and I wanted to dig in deeper. Unfortunately, Netflix was removing E in January of 2017 which only left me around a month to watch whatever I could binge during that time, so I found an E! board and asked for episode recs. That was my first true fandom experience, and honestly, at the time I thought it was amazing that board still existed and was semi active. I figured that beyond that board there was probably no active fandom. During my month of binging those recs, I also decided to see if there happened to be any old fanfiction for the show left, of course not really expecting anything, and was shocked to see FFN wasn’t dead at all. This led to reading a ton of E fanfics before I even had a solid grasp on who the characters even were, which idk, that probably wasn’t the best idea but it WAS fun so whatever. So technically I suppose I was “in” the fandom in late 2016, but I didn’t really actively search out the fandom, beyond that board, until late 2017 (which led to a not so great experience on a certain bird app).

What made you stick around? The fanfiction, mainly. I noticed right away how this fandom loves whump, especially Johnny whump, and that really interested me (I’ve always had a thing for whump). Otherwise, besides a few bad apples, there are a lot of really great people in this fandom and I want to be part of that.

Who’s your favorite character? 1000% Johnny. He’s the sole reason I started paying attention to the show to begin with because holy shit how is he so cute???

Are you a shipping kind of person? If yes, what are your favorite ships? I LOVE shipping. Definitely Johnny x Roy and Brackett x Dixie, but I also ship Dixie x the administrator from “Foreign Trade”.

Favorite moment/scene/quote? Yes, you can pick more than one. I’d have to say my all time favorite scene / quote is in the pilot movie when Johnny tells Brackett “To hell with the orders” and shuts off the biophone. I love sassy Johnny. I also really love the scene at the end of “Rip-Off” where Johnny still thinks he hears a rattling noise coming from the squad and Roy says “Maybe it’s the loose seeds in your gourd”. Those two have a lot of great comedic moments, but that one sticks out to me for some reason.

Do you have a favorite episode? Feel free to pick one per season if you can’t decide. My absolute favorite episodes are the major Johnny whump ones. But I also love “Frequency”, because it shows Johnny all emotionally hurt and vulnerable and questioning his own mortality and ugh so good. I also like the episode “The Exam” because of the scene where Johnny admits that he doesn’t wanna have to go back to the engine if he fails the paramedic re-certification exam. I love those small moments of vulnerability from Johnny because it’s a side of him that we don’t see much. “Isolation” is also a great episode imo, just because the scenery change is nice. And “Details”, because it’s just typical Johnny to try to rush into something without all the information.

Most underrated character, either among the fandom or one the writers never utilized to their full potential? Morton, Stoker, and Marco.

One thing you’d have liked to see more (or less) of in the show? As others have said, it would’ve been nice to have seen more of Student Nurse Sharon and Nurse Carol. It also would’ve been nice to have seen more of Morton as he grew as a doctor.

Do you have a fanwork recommendation for us? Fic, art, video, whatever? @johnnys-green-pen, @hitchcock-winter, @madilayn, and @thebeatlesqueenie1212 all write greats fics. @andtheywerelegends makes good vids. Otherwise, I’ve been enjoying “Hunted” by mta797 and “Off Road” by Closet Scrawler on FFN recently.

Any fanworks you’d like to see? I know it’s definitely going to be an unpopular opinion, but I’d like to see more fics that explore darker themes. Not every story needs a happy ending or a miraculous recovery. Sometimes bad things happen, things don’t go as expected and there’s no miracle at the end of the day. I want to read more about that.

Any favorite headcanons you’d like to tell us about? Johnny being neurodivergent is probably my favorite. And definitely that Johnny and Roy have not so secret feelings for each other. I also heard a headcanon ages ago that Johnny is probaaably a virgin and I can totally see that, given the way he constantly strikes out.

Free space! Anything else you’d like to mention? I owe this show the revival of my interest in writing. Prior to 2017, when I started my first E fic, I hadn’t seriously written anything since 2010. Writing is so incredibly therapeutic for me and always has been, even when I was a kid writing dumb stories with my friends that made absolutely no sense. Back then, writing was such a big part of who I was. And to find that missing piece of myself has been everything.

Tag about me!

As always, my darling friend @mira-shard is too kind to me :)

1. Why did you choose your url?

I did a random generator that told me my sexuality, and this was what came out. I love it so much, and having the nickname “Stud” is a) really really funny, and b) a massive confidence boost. Plus, I just like nicknames, and Stud is by far NOT the dumbest one I have.

2. Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

Y’all, my bio says “No sideblogs, we die like ADHD hyperfixators who can’t be bothered”!!

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

2014. I’ve been here since 2014. Why? God knows, but here I am.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

2! Back when I was super into Tumblr and had convinced myself that somehow it was my full-time job, at age 16, I had “Club queuing up on a Tuesday” but then I realized “Hey! No!” and I took a break, came back, and now my queue is just “q” and I use it when I’m reblogging something late at night and don’t want people to realize I have a terrible sleep schedule sometimes.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I found Tumblr posts on iFunny, eventually came over here for fandom stuff. And before you ask, I came for Superwholock and Homestuck content. I was 14 and had recently been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, I was allowed a little cringe.

6. Why did you choose your icon?

I just like having a little picrew of me that I update with new haircuts every so often. I think it’s fun.

7. Why did you choose your header?

Because I am the funniest person on the face of the planet and that drawing is my magnum opus.

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

A dumb meme about how Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny are now canonically in love. I thought it might get a few hundred, but once it broke a thousand I went “Oh okay.” When it broke five thousand, I went “Huh… Well.” THEN it broke ten thousand and I realized that I may have made a horrible mistake.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

GOD, who knows? Like.... idk, 10? Maybe? I don’t talk to most of them, but honestly, there’s so many Tumblrs that I look at on my dash and go “!!!! Friend!!!” even though we’ve never had a single conversation.

10. How many followers do you have?

82. I get a few new ones every so often, but 8/10 they’re pornbots :/

11. How many people do you follow?

86. I go through every now and again to cull the harvest.

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Every post I make is shit. Welcome to the circus, baby.

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

It fluctuates? Sometimes I go a few days without it, some days I’m on it 4 times an hour, each for 15 minutes at a time (hardy-har-har).

14. Did you have a fight/argument with a blog once?

Babes, I don’t TALK to folks. I don’t got BEEF. Plus, I genuinely can not think of a single argument I could make on tunglr dot hellsite that would be worth my time and effort. It’s mostly fandom bs and the few times it IS actually important, I don’t need to, others have already beat me to the punch. Besides, I’m a random fandom blog, if I message someone “Hey, why do you believe xyz, that’s dumb” what am I going to accomplish?? Why would they believe me?? I’m a random fandom blog????

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this post”?

If I see something that has that on it, my Catholic guilt immediately kicks in and if I don’t figure out what to do real quick, I will spiral. Most of the time if it’s a post like that, I ignore it because a lot of the time it can be misinformation, plus I just genuinely don’t like making people feel like they should feel pressured to reblog something. However, if it’s something I think is actually genuinely important to reblog, I’ll reblog from a point BEFORE the “You need to reblog or else you’ll rot in Hell or w/e” comment.

16. Do you like tag games?

I fricking LOVE tag games!!! I like knowing that people looked at a post and went “Hey, I think Stud would like this!” Like, I know I’m not the foremost on everyone’s mind (I wouldn’t want to be anyhow), but just knowing that they go “Hm, I should tag some people... Stud would be nice :)” it just makes my day :D

17. Do you like ask games?

Yes!!! For the reasons above! Plus, ask games typically mean I get to do it back, which is always nice because I like messaging my mutuals.

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

Bold of you to assume I know who’s famous. But in all seriousness, I would have to say either @unfortunate-arrow or @carewyncromwell , but an argument could be made for @drinkyoursoupbitch , @cursebreakerfarrier , @cursebreakerelmswood or @mizutoyama , but genuinely? Not a clue. I don’t know people’s fame on Tumblr, I just go based off of how many tag-lists they get on, and then add me to :P

19. Do you have a Tumblr crush on a mutual?

H-how... How would I... I don’t... What does that mean? Like, do I admire some people? Because yes, I admire my mutuals and all the talented creators that I’m lucky enough to have acknowledge my existence. Do I have an actual crush on any of them? No, because I don’t know most of their actual names and a good percentage of them are underage. I repeat, they are MINORS. So that’s a hard no.

Big Starter || New Dawn at the End of an Era

This is the starting piece of a project I have been brainstorming on for a couple years, to introduce my OC Akihara Ren to the K Project universe. A “What If” scenario exploring the rise of a new Colorless King shortly before the end of Return of Kings. He has the power to bring back to life things and people that were lost, so long as they live in someone’s memory. In order to participate to this RP plot, you must read and follow my Deep RP Rules. Message me with the password if you’d like to join in!

[Tag: #KNewDawn

Universe: K Project - Return of Kings

Headcanon/Ships: A new Colorless King emerges in the middle of the final battle for the Slates of Dresden.

Timeline: January 2014, after the time skip at the beginning of Episode 9 - Kid’s Room in Return of Kings.

Players: @roleplay-abiogenesis2​​ (Ren Akihara)

Accepting as RP partners: Any character within the canon timeline and universe of K Project.

Status: Open/Available

Scene Concept: Ren Akihara, freshman in Ashinaka High School, suddenly awakens as the new Colorless King just as the world is thrown into chaos by Jungle and the Slate. Restoring the area of Kagutsu Crater with his powers, he surely attracts the attention of the other Kings.]

It is said that the Colorless King is the joker card which affects the bonds between the other Kings. Ichigen Miwa promoted harmony between them, whereas his successor brought death and discord. Which side will this new Colorless King take with his dangerous power, in the middle of the chaos the release of the Slate has brought?

Will his power bring back loved ones that were missed, or demons from the past? Will the story still end the same way or… will it end at all?

In whose hand will the Joker fall?

“Next up, we turn to the latest coverage regarding incidents where people are unleashing unnatural powers. Since the start of the year, reports of these phenomena have continued to be on the rise throughout the Kanto region. In response to this recent outbreak, the defense forces have deployed a special containment team. In conjunction, the ministry is scheduled to submit an emergency bill for enactment that will be implemented on a national scale.”

“See? They’re still talking about it. Told you it wasn’t fake.”

“No way…”

Eyes fixed on the PDA screen, several students had gathered around a desk to look at the news. It was happening more and more often than before. Or rather, if before the young freshmen would gather to watch a popular music video or the latest internet meme, it was now more often than not to watch the news. Ever since Christmas, incredible things seemed to be happening all over the city and the news channels wouldn’t stop going over it.

For how frightening it was to see footage of things catching fire out of nowhere and people shooting laser beams out of their hands, Ren also found it kind of fascinating. His opinion was a constant dwindle between worry and excitement for what was to come. Never in his life had he experienced something like this.

Though, he wouldn’t be the one to say nobody else hadn’t seen this before… There were rumors and the more he heard them the more he was inclined to believe.

“You know, this reminds me about the stuff they said happened last year.”

Speak of the devil, here they were talking about it again. Two boys sitting behind him on the third row of the classroom.

“Still talking about that story? You know it’s a lie the seniors spread to look cool.”

“It was all true I tell you.”

“How would you know? We weren’t even here last year, when all that happened.”

“My sister is friend with Yukizome from third year and she says it’s all true! Plus, does the crater in the park of our school look fake to you?”

“Didn’t they say that was because a gas pipe exploded or something…?”

“It was a Korean missile-”

“Don’t be dumb, we’d already be at war or something if it was from North Korea. The school was raided by a gang and they had bombs, that’s what… There was even someone who died.”

“Proof or it didn’t happen!”

“What other proof do you need? Why are you always so skeptical of everything? Like when we were talking about the Kagutsu Crater yesterday-”

The Kagutsu Crater incident had totally happened. Ren kept himself away from the conversation, but he firmly believed that. It was a shame that all records of it seemed to be unavailable to the public- and definitely sketchy- but he didn’t believe those who said the southern Kanto region had always been like that. Stories like that were abundant amongst the students of Ashinaka High School. He had been here for almost a year now, and had quickly gotten acclimated to the rumors.

They were fascinating to be sure, but he preferred to hear it directly from the source. And if books couldn’t be said source, then he would surely find people who still remembered that place. Like his grandmother.

“That’s right~ Akihara-kun, you’re going there today, aren’t you? Aki-kun?”

Only when his ears detected the embarrassing nickname, the puce-eyed boy looked up from his book to blink and greet the girl who had approached his desk. It was Saya, she normally sat two rows before him and was a member of the swimming team.

“Huh…?”

“The Kagutsu Beach~? Aren’t you going there today?” She repeated her question with a tip of her head.

“Oh- Yes.” Sitting back straight, Ren looked at his vintage pocket watch, the silver lid opening with a soft click to reveal the time. “I should be going after- ah…”

His eyes drew a blank expression as he realized.

“Wait, that was last class today..?”

“Yes. We’re staying around for the school tourney practice. I was going to say, did you change your mind and sign up for- huh!?” The girl blinked in shock realizing the seat beside her had suddenly emptied. “Aki-kun!?”

“Sorry!! I’m late!”

He had clearly gotten lost in his reading again! Why did this keep happening? The sixteen years old had to put all his PE exercise into practice as he ran through the corridors and out into the open campus of the high school.

He nearly bumped into one of the seniors, the one with the long ponytail who always carried that beautiful sword around. Normally Ren would stop to fawn over such an amazing piece of historic craftsmanship, but today he didn’t have time to chat, or wonder why that guy was completely soaked. Thinking of it, he had never even directly spoken to him.

“Sorry! Coming through!” It was the very first words he ever addressed in his direction as he bolted past to rush towards the school gates.

He didn’t turn to look, but his voice was firm and strong. “You shouldn’t run around on school grounds.”

He’d apologize again next time.

~~

They had arrived around 16:00 at their destination. It was a shame, Ren thought. Because of his lateness they had missed the first train and now they would get to enjoy the view only for a hour before it would be sunset.

Not like there was much left to see.. on the edge of the crater there was nothing but an empty beach. On the horizon was nothing but water and the regular, gentle curve of the land.

“Right here is fine, dear. Let’s stop.” His grandmother spoke softly. She hadn’t complained at all while he pushed her wheelchair down the road from the station, keeping her gaze on the horizon in silence with a faint smile on her face.

At times Ren could catch her gaze pointing specifically here and there down the coastline. Like she could still see what wasn’t there anymore, everything that had gone lost almost fifteen years ago when she was still in her fifties and her Alzheimer’s disease was still only a shadow unnoticed by anyone in the house.

That was why it was important for him to take her here now, where the place she was born and raised used to be. That day of July in 1999, everything she had known in her life had been taken away from her. Of course his parents counted their blessings, such as that they were all on a trip in Hokkaido back then and thanks to that had survived the calamity.

But now that the memory loss had settled in his grandmother’s mind, it wouldn’t be long before even what little was left of her hometown would disappear forever. It made him sad to think of.

“What are you thinking of, Baba?” He asked after helping her sit down on the picnic mat he had brought. The nurse that assisted her had given a hand, and was now quietly reading a book on her lap on a bench not too far away.

Every visit would be like that, with him asking her about her childhood and past in Chigasaki and neighboring cities, and her getting lost in her stories. Though he was sixteen years old now, he still called her as he would when he was a child. Ren noticed it made her happy to hear it. In turn, he felt like he could listen to her for hours, absorbing every bit of information, reliving with her what he could never see.

His gift of great memory allowed him to remember everything she would tell him, and bit by bit, she could at least have a place where her precious moments could be stored and preserved: her grandson’s mind.

But this time, something was different. It had started as a pinching sensation in his eyes. Ren had tried to pay it no mind, rubbing his eyes absently from time to time while listening to his grandmother talking.

“There was this small little park I’d go to. It was nothing special at first sight. Just a swing and a slide, almost no children had interest in it anymore by the time I was grown up. But it had this small, beautiful apple tree. I knew of no one that would bother and come keep that pretty little tree pruned and watered. And yet, it kept healthy and bore fruit every year, all on its own. It was a true symbol of resilience. And its apples were delicious even though they were small. I really miss that little tree. Ren, are you all right?”

She had noticed his gaze suddenly getting wide and lost out to sea. But he had no words that could explain.

He saw no colors anymore. One moment he was looking at her in her bright pink blouse and nodding to her tale about a tree. A rub to his eye and suddenly all color was gone.

But what Ren couldn’t see was a minor problem compared to what he could see.

The sea, the round crater which contained two thirds of its perimeter, it was gone.

In its stead was a cityscape, a vast skyline of buildings, skyscrapers, railroads and power lines as far as his eye could see. The city had appeared out of nowhere before his eyes.

“Ren? You’re making me worry.”

“Baba… can’t you see it?” He struggled to give her a double take, puce orbs practically glued to what he was seeing.

“The tree? Oh no, dear. It’s gone with all the rest. All cast under the… um… what is the word?” It wasn’t rare for Grandma to forget the right word, he knew.

“The sea?” He murmured under his breath, still absorbed in that mesmerizing vision in a scale of gray. “Baba, do you remember what was here? Like, exactly in this spot?”

It was clear she couldn’t see. At this point he wanted to figure out if he was going crazy, or dreaming… or…?

“Right here? It’s hard to tell.” The old lady looked back the way they came, probably looking for reference. “Oh. This used to be nearby a popular temple, I believe.”

He saw it. He saw that temple. It was just a block away.

“Did it have torii gates at the entrance?”

“Yes! Very tall torii gates. I didn’t think I had told you about that. I didn’t go there often, but I would pass in front of it to go to the station. It was right in front of a… um… what was it…?”

“A pet store?”

“Yes. I’m almost sure it was a pet store.”

“With a large cat saying ‘Hello’ on the window.”

She was frowning quizzically at him now. “You’re almost scary, Ren. Even I had almost forgotten about that. Who told you about it? Did you see it on some book at school today?”

He probably wouldn’t remember either such an insignificant detail. He knew because he was looking at it right now. Right there where he knew there should be nothing but sand and water.

A sharp whistle pierced his head. Squinting, Ren had to look away and cover his eyes for relief. He could hear his grandparent call out to him with worry.

“I’m sorry, Baba… I don’t feel so good all of a sudden.”

~~

“Nagare! Nagare! GUYS!”

“Keep it down, Sukuna. We can hear you, you know?” From where he was comfortably sitting on the couch, the Gray King tipped his head at the boy scrambling his way into the small space which included Jungle’s base of operations.

The fellow J Rank wouldn’t have it. “Spare me the lecture, old man! The Slate! It’s doing something weird! Flashing and stuff!”

“Hm? Flashing? Isn’t it always doing that?” Again the robed man was unfazed, bringing a can of beer to his mouth. “That’s the purpose, no? Releasing it and let it do its thing.”

“Affirmative. But Sukuna is right. It is different.” From where he was sitting on his wheelchair even though he no longer really required it, Nagare observed a holographic screen displaying the Slate’s parameters with the corner of his lips curled into an educated smile. “At last, it is happening.”

His eyes however were vibrant with excitement like they hadn’t been in a while.

“The first King of this new era is born.”

~~

In the end, Ren had to ask the nurse to take Baba home without him. She was starting to get agitated and worried about his well-being.

He had bid her goodbye and assured her he would sit on the beach and wait for what he had described as a dizzy headache to go away before he’d get up and walk.

That had been only a half truth. Sure enough he had been sitting, but there was no beach anymore. He was sitting in the middle of a softball field. Hugging his knees, Ren had sat there and waited for things to pass, go back to normal, while at the same time taking in the view.

The sun was disappearing behind the buildings and soon would set and nothing had happened yet.

Maybe I am really going crazy.

Ren sighed softly, standing up with his gaze still lost on the vast view before him. His brows furrowed inwardly, worry and doubt painted over his features clearly.

He thought that maybe the only thing that could snap him out of it was to reach the water that still had to be there. This was some kind of hallucination… He wasn’t sure what to call it, but…

But what if he decided to walk down that empty road he saw before him? What would happen if his feet did not get wet but meet concrete? What should he call that wistful wish in his heart right now? Hope? Intrigue? Naivety?

His foot moved forward into the area and something inside him reverberated. Ren gasped in shock, his eyes catching an unmistakable change in his surroundings. It was as though the moment he had moved, a tear has formed in space and brought color back in his immediate surroundings. Now that he actually paid attention to it, it wasn’t just the patch of ground at his feet. His shoes, and clothes and body. It had all regained color.

Had he just… done that? Tentatively he moved another step. Again that strange vibration in his chest, like his heart had pounded a million times harder than normal and shaken every cell inside him. The circle of color expanded. Now the buildings to his left and right had returned to a more realistic hue, no longer looking like the print of an aged photograph.

One curious step lead to another, and then another and another after that. Ren walked into the deserted city, observing in shock and awe as everything around him seemed to enter his own reality. He walked past the pet store. Past the temple his grandmother had mentioned.

He arrived at the center of a crossroad, and the boy could see looking back, that he had gotten way past where the shoreline used to be. There were no moving cars, or people. No animals nor sounds of bugs or birds.

He looked up to confirm and there he saw it. His heart felt like it had squeezed up his throat and for a moment his first instinct had been that to run.

Over his head, high into the sky, there was something. An elongated, solid body hovering hundreds of meters up in the air. So high it had to be peeking over the skyscrapers that surrounded him.

It was hard to tell from his position right beneath it, but he was pretty sure after a while that it was a massive sword. Shaped like one of those in the old eras of samurai and knights. Looking at it, he felt as though that mysterious pulse in his body resonated with its presence.

“What is happening…?”

~~

Shiro had looked up from the scattered pages before his desk. Out of nowhere, his focus had been lost. Something was amiss.

He abandoned his sister’s research to go to the window and open it.

“Shiro! Are we going outside!? Can we go buy meat buns!?” Eager to see her King finally move away from the spot he had been basically rooted on since Christmas, Neko had jumped up and quickly ran after him. She jumped to perch on top of the balcony railing when she noticed he wasn’t paying attention to her.

“…!? That’s…”

“Meow?” She tilted her head, also looking out at the horizon, in the same direction he was staring. “…! SHIRO! WHAT IS THAT!?”

~~

“Captain.” Seri Awashima abruptly stepped into the office of Reisi Munakata. “Sir, we have a strange report from the Kagutsu Crater site…”

The Blue King was sitting on the tatami mat by the tea kettle. His amethyst orbs, cold and serious, were staring intently on the holographic screen displayed on the wall, where the news report seemed to have delivered the selfsame information the Lieutenant had come to relay.

“…!” At the sight of the news feed, she jolted in startle. “We must stop them! If the public where to know this.. ”

“It is too late.” Munakata sentenced, lowering his cup of tea on the floor. “Timeless Palace is no longer effective in hiding these matters from the general population. And besides… something of this magnitude cannot be hidden.”

As the news reported, new satellite pictures of Japan were already being taken to confirm what the eye could see.

~~

“Anna? Is everything all right?” Yata looked surprised. He had been walking down the busy street in Shizume while escorting the Red King when she had abruptly stopped to look up in a specific direction like she could see someone in particular.

Her expression betrayed some concern; a small frown had furrowed her pale eyebrows.

“He’s back… The Colorless King.”

~~

Around Nagare, both Yukari and Sukuna had leaned over to stare with him at the screen that projected from the console or his wheelchair. Their expressions were all different in contrast. Whereas the kid was showing pure shock and awe with his mouth shaped in a small 'o’, Yukari was more composed and taken aback, his eyes wider than usual and blinking repeatedly as thought trying to erase the illusion he was certain to be witnessing. Nagare observed in absolute collected satisfaction, like a diligent student before his successful science experiment.

Only the expression of Tenkei Iwafune on the couch was frozen, completely indecipherable in the moment.

“Are you freaking serious!? That’s…”

“Nagare-chan, is this for real?” Yukari overrode the kid’s exclamation to look back at the Green King. “Whoever owns that Sword of Damocles, did they really do that on their own?”

“Affirmative.”

Nagare nodded just once, like everything was just as to be expected. And perhaps in this extraordinary new world where everyone would soon become a king of their own, it really was.

“The Kagutsu Crater has been erased.”

(To be continued.)

[my-little-yellowbird]

I was tagged by @gabolange (months ago!!) to do the one-shot fic writer meme, and why not!                                                        

list your five longest one-shot fics on AO3 (not chaptered works or series) with the word count, fandom, year, and comments/kudos/bookmarks. one-shots are the short stories to fandom’s books and a distinctly different process in my experience.

OK, so here’s the thing.  I’ve written over 120 Call the Midwife fics on My-Little-Yellowbird.com, most of them multi-chapter.. Only 8 are posted on ao3 and 30 or so CtM fics are on ff.net--it’s where I got my start.  I’ve always felt funny cross-posting my fics to different platforms, but that’s silly.  Writers that get paid to write don’t hesitate to promote their own stuff. Why shouldn’t fic writers??  I mean, we do this for FREE.  If a reader sees my stuff they can always scroll past.  the best person to promote your stuff is you. So maybe one day I’ll post them all to both fan sites.

Oh, and aside from a ridiculous there’s-only-one-bed-but-the-floor-is-made-of-lava Blake fic and a silly shout-out to Mary Poppins, it’s all Call the Midwife.

1. Dearest Friend -- 3,252 words, Turnadette, 2014, original publication 2017 on ao3. 32 kudos, 3 comments, 3 bookmarks.  This is an early tale written during the hiatus after s3.  I love eponymous stories, and we all have imaginings of what Patrick wrote to Shelagh during those long months in the sanatorium.  My head canon is built on the idea that both Sister Bernadette and Patrick adhered to a strict honor code.  Patrick would never put Sister Bernadette in the position where she would be asked to renounce her vows.   I will admit to almost having him push the envelope a bit, if you’ll excuse the pun, in a hidden letter.  In the end, I worked very not to say too much, or not enough.

2. His Safety Net -- 2242 words, Turnadette, 2015 - 33 kudos - 6 comments - 3 bookmarks. 2015 original pub, 2017 ao3.  When asked about my favorite fics, this one always comes to mind.  Again, so much of what makes the Shelagh / Patrick relationship work is their ability to say so much with so few words.  I wanted to get that across with physical gestures that speak to their level of emotional intimacy.  I also wanted to deal with the idea of commitment.  They’ve just weathered another storm partly brought about by the fact that while they do communicate, there are still secrets between them.  Has Patrick learned to trust her?  Will he ever?  In the end, it doesn’t matter, because they are bound together by more than romance.

3. How the Brownies Saved Christmas -- 1986 words, Turnadette 11 kudos - 3 comments - 0 bookmarks. 2018,  This one might have been a bit passive aggressive.  The holiday season is ridiculously stressfull for mothers of young kids (I blame Martha Stewart and Pinterest). This is one of my complaints about Shelagh, as well. W never really see HOW SHE DOES IT.  So I gave her helpers. 

4. Losing Her Breath --1,514 words, Sister Bernadette, 2009 (orig pub) - 14 kudos - 3 comments - 0 bookmarks). 2017.  Breathing is a thread through Turnadette (I know that sounds dumb, but bear with me).  TB, polio, smoking are all obviously big ticket items, but many of the most wonderful Turnadette moments have no words.  We just feel them breathe each other.  So I used the idea for this fic, set during the time when they were just starting.  Sister Bernadette is indeed losing her breath, as the TB is already growing within her, just as Patrick takes her breath away.

5. A Moment’s Peace -- 7,464 words, Turnadette 2019, 1 kudos - 18 comments, 1 bookmark. 2019  This was my first “commuter fic,” written onboard the train to Grand Central. My new job was pretty miserable, and the four hours on the train every day were near unbearable.   My betas gently encouraged me to try and redirect my new anxieties into classic Turnadette.  Hence--a coffee shop fic!

Funny thing is, I’m sure there are newer Nonnatuns that are just now learning that I have ever written a fic. I wrote most of my stuff before I went back to work, and all the kids were in school all day. Believe me, I’m trying!

[wickymicky]

i remember when i first watched a lot of those loona videos (secretly of course), i just assumed they were a lot bigger than they were. idk, i assumed they were the most popular kpop group at the moment, cause they were pretty much the only current generation one who i had heard of even without knowing anything about kpop. i mean when i FIRST heard of them i thought it was just kim lip and her name was loona lol, cause some of the first things i saw were hunter x hunter blogs reblogging kim lip screenshots of the favOriTe music video and tagging it “loona”, so i thought she was a soloist and that was her name lol. i mean that was only at the beginning haha, by the time i watched hi high i knew they were a group of 12 girls who debuted one at a time, and i knew some of the things they did had some lgbt-ish themes because again, anime blogs that i followed posted stuff like that about them. 

and so, since they were the only one i’d heard of, i just assumed... idk lol. i think i had heard of the “stan loona” meme too by then. but i had never heard of blackpink, twice, red velvet, or really any others. i think the only groups/soloists whose names i had heard of were:

shinee, bigbang, and 2ne1 (because an ex of mine was a huge kpoppie and those were her favorite groups back in 2014 and 2015. we only dated for like four months or so and it was awful and a totally nasty breakup that left me with a lot of residual shit to work through, so my opinion of those groups was and still kiiiinda is a bit soured lol. though a friend of mine, jaci, also really loves shinee, so that kinda helped me not resent them for dumb reasons lol. jaci hasnt really kept up with kpop much since the end of 2018, but they follow this blog and they’re the one who got me to listen to a.c.e, so they’re cool lol)

psy and bts obviously because everyone knows gangnam style and its just sort of impossible to be online in this day and age and not have ever heard of bts

hyuna because she was in the gangnam style video and i remember thinking she was pretty hahaha. i never listened to her, i dont think, but somehow i just remembered her name? or like, i wouldnt have been able to remember it off the top of my head, but when i got into kpop and saw her name again i remembered her as someone who was probably a big star. my perception of how big a star and what kind of star she is was slightly wrong, but i was right that she’s a big deal.

girls generation obviously, i think i had probably heard of f(x) too, i knew about amber liu i think?

shit is that it? uhhhh hmmm.... i mean, i had seen the post with the compilation of “Hah!”s from the beginning of catallena by orange caramel, but i didnt know the name of the group until i got into kpop and saw that post again. i had seen the tropicana commercial with jooe from momoland on my dash but again, i didnt know who that was, i didnt even know she was from kpop lol, i thought it was just a weird commercial. there’s probably lots and lots of kpop posts i saw on my dash or on twitter or something but i didnt know what it was so it didnt stick in my brain lol. but idk

[hotdadlicense]

Oh look! I’mm’a actually get around to a tag meme. The millstone around my neck is composed of tag memes from sweet, thoughtful friends which I never did.

I was tagged by @dorkagedoodles, whose art I have enormous respect for. Thank you!

Name: Red

Age: 37

Favourite colour: Bright red. Candy apple red, Manic Panic Rock and Roll Red, Deadpool red, blood red.

When you made this blog: Uh...sometime in 2014? Currently too dumb to figure out where to look for that info

Follower count:  more than I expected

Choose a superhero power: Easy, gonna go with Prodigy’s powers--absorb the knowledge and skills of those around me. 

Favourite drink: Don’t think I have one favorite but I guess my most-drunk would be a hot, undoctored cup of Lapsang Souchong.

A song you love right now: mmmm... Barns Courtney, Glitter and Gold.

Dream vacation: *throws dart* uhh....tour of Denmark and Sweden because they’re cool but also specifically to get my hands on extant examples of old Norse glass beads.

Hogwarts House: 86% Ravenclaw, 64% Slytherin. So I interpret that as “only not Slytherin because I’m even more Ravenclaw” which sounds right.

How you like to keep your hair: Short and bright, rumpled

Christmas or Halloween: Oh, Christmas, no contest. I live for the “food and fellowship” holidays. The candy holidays can take a hike.

Hmm Hmm Hmm. Tagging @dafan7711, @opal-bee, @mysdrym, @myrddinderwydd, and @kylo-rens-basement. <3

So I’m a weirdo and publish under two author names - Circe Invidiosa for X-Files and Invida for Veronica Mars. I thought I had good reasons at the time, but they seem dumb now. Below are my last 10 fics under both names, sorted chronologically with most recent first.

1. Get Your Kicks by Invida - (VM) - published Sept 2018 "Remind me why I'm doing this?" Logan asked, following Veronica around the gift shop as she picked up items and gave them a once-over.

2. Make It Worse by Circe Invidiosa  - (XF) - published Aug 2018 Mulder was still holding her when Scully tensed in his arms, signifying that she'd let her mind drift to something even more unpleasant.

3. Slap a Goatee on Me and Call Me Evil by Circe Invidiosa - (XF) - published April 2018 She materialized in the bathroom, where she sensed his evil side was waiting to make his own appearance.

4. A Damsel in Distrust by Invida - (a VM crossover fic with BBC Sherlock) - WIP last updated Dec 2015 “I want her gone, John.”

5. Damn, Damn the Circumstance by Invida - (VM) - WIP last updated Dec 2014 "This room's occupied!"

6. In a Graveyard by Circe Invidiosa - (XF) - published March 2010 He hated snow, he decided.

7. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie by Circe Invidiosa & Helen Quilley - (XF) - published Jan 2010 Mulder tapped his fingers impatiently on the counter as Scully cooed to the tiny beast inside the travel kennel.

8. Champagne for My Real Friends by Invida - (VM) - published Oct 2009 on LJ (went to AO3 in the great fic dump of 2014) Veronica flopped down beside Logan who was lying on the beach still holding the champagne bottle he'd wrestled from Duncan.

9. Importuning Life for Life by Circe Invidiosa - (XF) published May 2008 Mulder leaned against the ramp’s railing.

10. is a tie between Surely Not the Devil by Circe Invidiosa - (XF) The sound of rustling cellophane startled Mulder.

and Stay Outta Riverdale by Invida (VM) which were both published within the same week of each other in June 2006 (this one was published first on LJ and went to AO3 in 2014) If looks could kill, then he was surely going to die of laughter if he continued to hang around Veronica Mars.

What have I learned?:

- I don’t often start with dialogue, which is surprising because I think I mostly write dialogue. - However, both my WIPs start with dialogue. - except for one, my XF fics mention Mulder by name and they are from his point of view. - two of my fill-in-the-blanks fics deal with continuing flashbacks within episodes (Make It Worse... and Champagne...). - my fill-in-the-blanks fics tend to start with describing the last action the character was doing in the scene in the episode. - Until 2015, I had been pretty consistent with writing. It looks like there isn’t a lot between 2010 and 2014 but I had two WIPS being updated during that time period (Damsel... started in 2013 and last updated in 2015 and Damn, Damn... started in (holy crap!) 2006 and last updated in 2014).
