     ‹ Her reactions of enthusiasm only seemed to mirror into Shuuji's own smile which had grown wider upon seeing just how elated she had become. It was little moments like this that made what he did feel all the more worth it; those little smiles, those little moments of joy. Tarokki was allowed to ramble on until she seemed to settle on actually offering it up, which caused the detective to take a glance over at one of the two lion-dog statues that sat upon a couple pillars at the entrance — almost as if silently asking for their approval. ›
    ❝ I think the kami of this shrine is intrigued by the notion, ❞ ‹ came Shuuji's relaxed reply as he returned his gentle gaze to her. › ❝ There is a table nearby, in a secluded and beautiful spot. I think that would be a wonderful place to do the reading. ❞
     ‹ Broom still in hand, the detective would gesture with his free one for Tarokki to follow. The shrine itself was small, but there towards the back corner opposite of the entrance was a thin path beneath a torii gate that seemed to be how one would enter the otherwise walled-off garden. Hedges would open up to reveal a couple of small wooden tables set up along the pathways surrounding a gorgeous pond, large koi seen flitting about lazily in the waters. Beneath one of the sakura trees Shuuji would gesture to one such table though he seemed to wait for Tarokki to claim her own chair before he followed suit. ›
    ❝ As an aside, if you ever feel weary from the world, I'd recommend you come here with some tea, ❞ ‹ he would say as he rest his arms on his legs, respectful of the small space atop the table. › ❝ So long as you give the kami a friendly hello on your way in, she won't mind you resting here. ❞
     ‹ After he spoke he would gesture an open palm to Tarokki's deck, his eyes now a bit rounder with his growing excitement. The broom was left to lean upon the nearby tree trunk with due care, a respect given to it as if it too were a person. ›
    ❝ Now then, let's see what the Sisters of Fate have in store for me, hm? ❞
“Oh, really??”
[ Just the fact that he’s curious about tarot is enough to make Tarokki’s smile grow into an excited grin. It’s a subject that is near and dear to her heart, she could only light up whenever anyone asked about it. When Shuuji mentions compensation, however, her smile falls, and her expression turns bashful as she waves her hands around dismissively.]
“Oh, no no, don’t worry about compensation! It’s best for you to see or experience a reading beforehand, I wouldn’t feel comfortable receiving compensation if you’re getting introduced to the medium!”
[ There’s a slight pause as she calms down, it was unlike her to get flustered so easily, but this morning’s anxiety had crept its way back and made her more reactive than she was usually. She sighs, trying to focus on the surrounding energies of the shrine, and not whatever is gnawing at her. ]
“Oh, do you mean now?” [ It had taken her a moment to register he was hinting at a potential reading on the spot, and while Tarokki mostly did scheduled readings… She looks around for a bit, taking in the calm surroundings. Maybe providing a service - reading for someone else - this was exactly what she needed to get out of her own head. She smiles again.]
“ I do have everything I need for a reading with me. If performing a reading at a shrine isn’t frowned upon, then I would happily show how it works, Mr. Koda!”
[It was clear she wasn’t aware of the customs of visiting shrines. She had a feeling, if the broom in Shuuji’s hand was any indication, that he might know far more than she did.]

Online Matchup 12
Summery: Something seems to be going on with Jason. Instead of pushing him, Y/n lets him be and talks to friends.
Warning: swearing
I Tag list: @teapartydreams @adorabluesposts
ao3 Series master list
A/n: Happy holidays! Have a filler, it’s a little angsty but it ends in a happy. I know I've been just posting just this pic. I'm having a bit of a hard time ending the other fics but hope to get them done in January. That is my goal.
—————
March 22
Y/N (7:37 am)
How’d it going today?
Y/n (8:58am)
I burnt my breakfast
I don’t even know how that happened
I looked away for a minute and the next thing I know
The smoke detector went off and there’s smoke in the kitchen
D:
I’m so sad
Now I don’t have anything to eat and I’m late for school
Y/n (10:00am)
I am not sure why I thought getting my engineering degree was a good idea
Nothing my teacher is saying is making sense
I want to go home
Y/N (1:28pm)
So, classes are done but now I have to work
With the amount of sleep I didn’t get
Work is the last thing I want to do
Y/n (3:43pm)
I made another fire again today
Downside, they docked my pay a little
Upside, I get to go home early today
So there’s that
Y/n (4:39 pm)
I hope you’re doing okay
Y/n (5:04 pm)
Hey Steph?
Is Jason okay?
Stephanie
What do you mean?
Y/n
I don’t know
I haven’t heard from him today
I just want to know if he’s okay
Stephanie
He hasn’t talked to you at all today?!.
Y/n
No, and we didn’t get into a fight
Did something happen?
Stephanie
Yeah, but I don’t think I’m the one who should tell you
Y/n
Yeah I understand
There are some things he hasn’t told me
I know that much
Stephanie
I’m sorry
Y/n
No worries
But could you tell me if he’s doing okay whenever you see him?
Stephanie
Of course
Y/n (5:14 pm)
Do you think you’ll see Jason today?
Roy
Um, I’m on my way to him now
How’d you know?
Y/n
Wild guess
I know he’s dealing with something but I don’t know what
Could you tell him I’m here for him if he ever needs me?
Roy
Why can’t you tell him yourself?
Y/n
He hasn’t been talking to me today
And I didn’t want to push if he doesn’t want to talk
The last time we went no contact, we both pushed each other away
Roy
That asshole
Y/n
Just be nice when you see him
Roy
I was
But now I should give him shit for what he’s putting you through
Y/n
No don’t
This is nothing compared to whatever Jason is going through
Roy
If I didn’t know better
You already know what’s he going through
Y/n
But I don’t
I just know that it’s bad if he’s not talking to anyone right now
Roy
You really care about him huh?
Y/n
I’m not afraid to admit it
Roy
Good
Jason needs someone like you on his side
I’m glad he has you
You threw your phone on the couch after reading Roy’s message, and bit your thumbnail in thought. Roy’s words had a deeper meaning now then before you knew the whole truth. And wondered if they would hold the same weight after they realized you went behind Jason’s back to find the truth.
It wasn’t something you needed to worry about now. There was something more pressing and you weren’t sure what to do but wait.
Sighing, you stood from the couch and made your way to the kitchen. After eating supper, you retrieved your laptop from your room and set it on the table.
Staring at it for a good minute or two, you made up your mind and turned it out. Once logged in, you went through the motions and found yourself in the Batcomputer again.
There was nothing for you to do but watch and wait. And that’s what you did for the rest of the night, you watched and listened as they talked out plans and watched as Oracle fought against the Calculator.
Scared of being discovered, you were debating whether or not you should leave. But you couldn’t, not until you knew Jason was okay.
But the decision was made for you when Oracle forced both you and Calculator when she rebooted her system. You gave her credit and wondered why she didn’t do that earlier.
With nothing to do, you slumped against your chair and hoped everything turned out in their favour.
“Jason you have a minute?” Roy called as the Outlaws made their way out of the building with Riddler in tow. Jason nodded, and the two of them branched off from their friends.
”What’s up?” Jason asked when they were far enough away from prying ears.
“Have you talked to Y/n lately?” Roy asked, and Jason flinched at the mention of you. “I’ll take that as a no.”
“Are they doing okay?” Jason asked, rubbing the back of his neck. Roy shrugged and said he didn’t know. “What do you mean you don’t know?”
“Exactly that, I don’t know,” he answered, “I just know that they’re really worried about you and wanted you to know that they’re there if you need them.”
“I’ll always need them,” Jason said without a second thought.
“That’s probably something you need to tell them, not me,” Roy said and looked towards their friends. “Look, everything seems to be okay here now. And I doubt Batman needs our help right now.”
“Probably because he’s being a stubborn asshole,” Jason muttered and Roy ignored it with a shake of his head.
“Why don’t you go see Y/N?” Roy suggested, “it would ease their mind a bit.” Jason shook his head at the thought.
“Not yet,” he said, “not until we deal with Joker. The last thing I need or want is for Joker to find Y/N.”
“Fair enough. Then at least answer their texts,” he said, “that’s something you can do without Joker knowing.”
“Suppose you’re right,” Jason said, sighing in defeat.
“I’m always right,” Roy said, gaining a laugh out of his friend.
“Not always,” he said and walked off towards his bike. He pulled out his phone. Scrolling through his messages, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Jason (12:35 am)
You set two things on fire today
One might think you’re a pyromaniac
Y/n (1:09 am)
:O
I am no such thing
i set ONE thing on fire and burnt my eggs
There is a difference
Jason
No I don’t think so
It’s the same thing
Y/n
Well then I guess your seeing a pyromaniac
Jason
I’ve dated worst things
Y/n
Ex-fucking-cuse me?
What could possibly be worse than a pyromaniac?
Jason
A serial killer
Y/n
YOU DATED A SERIAL KILLER?
Jason
Okay, not technically
Y/n
What does that mean?!
Jason
Means she was apart of the league of assassins
And given that their job description is basically their title
It's the same thing
Y/n
I can feel you shrugging like its not a big deal
But it is
And I worry for you and your taste of women
Jason
There’s nothing wrong with my taste in women
Y/n
Says the guy who dated a women who kills for a living
And me, who’s and I’m quoting here
a ‘pyromaniac’
Jason
Nothing wrong with a little arson
Y/n
My goodness
Judging by that statement alone, I think you’re the pyromaniac
Jason
Well, I mean I have done a little arson myself
So I’m not one to judge
Y/n
……
Jason
Wow, six dots
I must really made an impression
Y/n
You’re lucky your pretty
Jason
I knew it
You’re only into me because of my looks
Y/n
-_-
I’m going to bed
Jason
No, no no wait
I went a little to far, I’m sorry
Y/n
You’re forgiven
Can I call you? Or are you too busy for that?
Jason
Not busy persay, just I’m with my friends and I’m not yet ready for you to meet them
Y/n
Afraid I’ll run away?
Jason
Something like that
Sometimes they can be a little too much
And protective
Other then that, I wouldn’t mind hearing your beautiful voice
Y/n
Oof, maybe I should go to bed
I’m red like a tomato
Jason
Sounds like a sight to see
Y/n
I’m sure it is
Are you okay?
And don’t just saying something cheesy like
Jason
I’m better now that I’m talking to you
Y/n
You son of a bitch
I told you not to say something like that
Smooth fucker
Jason
But I am telling the truth
Something came up last night that triggered something
I had to leave town for the day, but my friends showed up and we talked.
Roy said something about you being worried
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you
I just, I needed to deal with it before I could see you or talk to you
Y/n
No I get
Probably didn’t help with all my messages
But I’m glad you’re feeling better
Still dealing with it?
Jason
Yeah
But once it’s done, I’ll come and see you
Promise
Y/n
Take your time with it, I don’t mind the wait
I’m just glad you to hear from you
Jason
I’m so glad I met you
Y/n
Me too

Working on part 2 of Beginnings, but until then here’s a small interlude. You can read the first bit here Part One
“Are you excited to start high school?” Steve feels like every lame adult he’s ever known, but he’s been wanting to have this conversation for a while now, preferably before his gang of nerds walk unprepared into his alma mater.
“I mean, sure.” Dustin says. “They have an amazing media lab and the AP science teachers are supposed to be really good. It’s never too early to think about college! Uh, sorry Steve.”
“Alright, shut it. If I had a brain like yours maybe I’d be in college now.” Steve rolls his eyes affectionately.
“And I heard Nancy say there’s an after-school club for D&D, so that might be okay. I mean, it won’t be as good without Will there but…” Mike trails off, a frown settling on his face.
“Yeah, okay I guess your demons and dingbats thing could be good.” Steve feels vaguely uneasy. Something to do with that club...it probably doesn't matter.
“Well, I’m also trying out for the basketball team.” Lucas adds softly.
“My man!!” Steve grins and holds his hand up for a high five. “I’m around if you want to get some practice in before tryouts. And I've got an in with the coach if you want me to put in a good word for you.”
“Nice! I'm always up for more practice!" Lucas grins back matching Steve's enthusiasm.
"And nepotism," retorts Dustin.
"Okay, brain boy. I don't know what that is, but it sounds gross and we don't have it." Steve smirks and cocks his head before remembering this was supposed to be a serious conversation.
"Anyway...I just wanted to talk to you guys about sticking together and always having each-other's backs." Steve starts and Dustin, of course interrupts, "Obviously, Steve. Who do you think we are?"
"No, man, I know. It's just that it can be pretty intimidating and the bullying can be...more intense than what you're used to in Middle School." Steve conceeds.
"Like you'd know anything about being bullied!" snorts Mike, "You were the bully."
"Uh...well." Steve doesn't want to scare the kids, but he does want them to be prepared. "I was kind of an asshole for a while..."
"Ya think?" Dustin chimes in.
"Shut up and let me talk!" Steve says in his best mom voice. "I had to learn to be harder in school. My freshman year this older kid made me his target and it was pretty awful. It got so bad I didn't even want to go to school half the time."
"That really sucks, man." Lucas gives Steve a supportive look.
"Aw, what, did he call you names? Make fun of your hair?" Mike sneers. He can't help but run his mouth sometimes. He likes Steve well enough, but not like Dustin and Lucas do and he can't stand how they worship him sometimes. Steve isn't that great.
"Dude. He pulled a knife on me for like, no reason. I was fourteen."
"Woah" Dustin just exhales. "So like, is high school....dangerous?" All three boys are seriously paying attention now, eyes wide.
"Nah, not normally. Anyway, it got better once I was deep in with the guys on the basketball team. So I'm just saying. Find a group that has your back. And you guys look out for other kids too, all right? And tell ME if anyone bothers you. I've got a bat that can sort them out."
"Dude....you can't just nailbat a teenager." Dustin snorts.
"I dunno, squirt," Steve ruffles Dustin's hair and he yelps ducking away, "If I find out anyone is messing with you guys....well, maybe not the nail bat, but just...promise to tell me okay? I don't want anyone of you going through what I did."
"We promise." They all chime dutifully.
"Hellfire!" Mike shouts as they all turn to look at him like he's got three heads. "What?" he says, "That's the name of the club."
"Hellfire." Steve mutters. Why does that name make his stomach hurt? He'll probably remember later. Meanwhile he's glad his twerps are going to have a good support system when they start school.

Tumblr media
-at some point between chapters 9 and 10-
Jason was frequently a fitful sleeper, tossing and clinging and squeezing me. He didn't sleep over often, but when he did we settled into a bit of a routine easily enough. We dozed off, my back pressed against his chest. When his tossing woke me I would turn over and stroke his hair and kiss the top of his head until he settled down, and that was usually enough. I would go back to sleep, and in the morning he made breakfast.
His nightmares were usually accompanied by soft murmurs at most. So my brain took a minute to process the sound of a hoarse scream behind me as I woke in the dark. Jason was trembling, I could feel it, and gasping sharply as if he couldn't breath.
When I realized what had woken me, I jumped up, flipping over. “Jay??”
He jolted, flinching back. “D- Don't!”
“... O- ok. It's gonna be ok, Jason. … I'm just gonna turn on the lamp, ok?” I whispered, slowly reaching for the bedside table.
He slowly nodded, and I flipped the switch. The green flecks in his eyes had taken on an electric quality, making the deep blue of his eyes look darker and duller. He watched me like a cornered animal, curled in on himself in a little ball.
“... Was it a nightmare?” I whispered. He shifted, grimacing slightly, and nodded. “... Do you want to talk about it?”
“No.”
I nodded slowly. “Do you want to cuddle?”
He blinked a bit, taking slow, deep breaths. “... I … I just … I need a minute.”
“Ok. I'll go get you a glass of water.” He nodded slowly, and I went to the kitchen.
I took my time, humming softly to myself, and pretended not to hear the muffled sobs coming from the bedroom. The sounds died down, and I brought a glass of water and a canister of trail mix. I continued humming, so he would hear me coming, and by the time I returned he was sitting up, leaning against the headboard. Jason's cheeks were a bit pink, but otherwise he looked ok.
I smiled softly, offering him the glass. “I brought something to nibble on too, in case you want it.”
He took the glass, breathing slowly. “... Why?”
“Having a snack is grounding. It can help your nervous system remember that you're somewhere safe, cause if you weren't you wouldn't have stopped to eat.”
“Huh…” he sipped the water, gesturing for me to sit next to him.
I smiled brightly, climbing into bed, and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “... Sorry I woke you …”
“Don't be sorry, baby. I got you, and you got me, right?”
He nodded slowly, leaning against me more. “... Still sorry…”
I ran my fingers through his hair gently; “I'm glad you didn't have to wake up alone.”
He sighed softly, setting the glass aside and wrapping his arms around my waist. “... Can … can I just … lay here? And you keep doing that?”
“Of course, Jay, anything.” I stroked his hair more, and he rested his cheek against my tummy.
After a few minutes, he sniffled softly. I gently massaged his scalp; “are you sure you don't want to talk about it?”
“... I just … I can still hear him laughing … he's taunting me …” he sniffled, clinging to me more. “... I can't make him stop … he's just in my head now …”
I frowned deeply, holding him close. “... He's not here, Jay. I won't let him hurt you ever again. I promise.”
He chuckled weakly. “... Batman couldn't even save me … what can you do that he couldn't?”
I leaned down to kiss the top of his head, whispering; “Batman has a very strict no killing policy. … I have made no such vow.”
He blinked a bit, looking up at me slowly; “... You … you would try to …?”
“If he was here in front of me, there isn't a force on this planet that could stop me.” I pushed his hair out of his eyes. “He doesn't get to chase you into my home and make you feel unsafe.”
Tears filled his eyes as he buried his face against me. I continued stroking his hair, humming softly until he finally dozed back off.

BG3 Blogging: Intro
I've been rambling about Baldur's Gate 3 on my friends' Discord channel for months now, and decided I ought to turn some of that into blog posts.
A bit about me as a videogamer: I'm very much in the "casual gamer" set, and perennially late to jump onto any game trend. For some years, I just wasn't in a videogaming mindset. This changed a little over a year ago when I decided I must play Hades.
I do play a lot of TTRPGs, though, so I was pretty quickly able to grasp the concepts behind BG3 despite not having played 1 or 2 -- it's Forgotten Realms D&D.
I'm the sort of person who's there for story, art, and characterization, and has very little interest in doing "the ultimate build" or checking for loopholes in the system. It's great that there are people who do this stuff, but it is absolutely not my thing.
I also have very little interest in doing "evil" campaigns. I've happily played games with a very linear storyline two or three times just to experience the same story beats again. It's cool that there are many options! But I'm the kind of person who wants to keep seeing my blorbos become their best selves.
Mods I put on:
• Adjusting the party limit so I wouldn't have to decide who to leave behind.
• Displaying companion approvals in the dialogue choices.
• Showing Origin-specific dialogue choices (Second run only).
• Scaling the difficulty for the increased party limit (Second run only).
• And some other fiddly things like making dyes reusable.
For my first playthrough, I hadn't even realized that you were supposed to make an original character. I was like, "What? I barely know anything about this story! Oh hey, you can play as one of the pre-made characters? Well, I've heard a lot about this Astarion guy. I'll play as him." I found out that that means missing a lot of his dialogue, unfortunately.
I quickly decided that he and Karlach belonged together... but was intensely saddened by the way that campaign ended. Fellow hellspawn enjoyers will know what I'm talking about. So for my second run/campaign, I'm playing Karlach Origin.
I'll try to spoiler-tag things that are BIG spoilers, but I'm not going to bother for most of the minor spoilers. There were a few things that genuinely surprised me in my first playthrough, and I was glad not to have been spoiled for them.

no problem!! honestly i love infodumping about this stuff and trying to explain it in terms that might be more accessible to people; tabletop can be intimidating if you're not familiar with how it goes, but if you try it and it clicks it is a really, truly special experience that's hard or downright impossible to capture with other forms of media, and the idea of making it available to people who might find joy in it when it's been such a gatekept form of storytelling for so long is something i'm really passionate about.
(i feel similarly about it to the way a lot of people feel about theatre, actually, now that i think of it.)
so yeah! it may take me a little while to draft up some proper in-depth answers (especially since i've been immersed in this for the better part of a year now, so i'm doing my best not to fall into this xkcd comic ashdhdjdhd), but it's no hardship to me to answer questions about this stuff and if anything i'm really grateful for the opportunity. :D
initial answer to the question re: D&D and Warhammer 40K (which will probably make more sense after the upcoming post going more in-depth on all this): they're both massive, extremely complicated systems which are almost entirely built around playing out combat in excruciating detail, and actual storytelling is kind of an afterthought in comparison. their communities have done a lot over time to try and compensate for that, but it's at the heart of those games and that's not really the kind of thing i'm interested in when i want to sit down and play/develop tabletop.
(seriously, the norm for D&D is for one (1) battle to take an entire 2-4 hour session. it's a game where unless you have a really good DM you could straight up take a short nap in between actually getting to do anything during combat, as long as people catch you up on what happened while you were out. it's a LOT.)
add that to the fact that D&D especially is a game people have been expanding and patching and adding onto, and making whole new editions of, for decades--and that there are a lot of worldbuilding things built into fundamental mechanics that Really Bother Me, like the alignment chart--and it's one that's just too overwhelming for me to want to get the hang of enough to design things for.
which, again, i'm not opposed to it on principle! if anyone who knows more about, and/or is more interested in working with, D&D or Warhammer than i am wants to give it a shot, that's totally cool and i'd love to see it. i just would rather not work with it myself, except maybe to take inspiration from some bits and pieces here and there.
(fun fact: the vatborn and trueborn were lifted straight out of warhammer uncredited, lmfao)
BUT YEAH, again some of this will probably make more sense with the followup i'm going to write out about the deal with systems + adapting things to them, and how it's relevant to LL in this case. i'm looking forward to it and i love talking about this stuff, so don't hesitate to ask questions if at any point you're still not sure about something! if anything it actually helps me think more solidly about the design and where to focus on it, so they're very much welcome. ✨️
hey there, LL fandom!
first off i have been gone for a while, whoops, hello
second, i have been on a huge tabletop dev kick lately, and i am considering whipping up something for lorien legacies! i'm not sure yet how much of it would be its own system vs how much of it would be a supplement for an existing, larger game, but LL has some worldbuilding that i think would adapt really well to RPG format and i thought it'd be neat to give it a shot.
right now the main things i'm planning on adapting in some form are:
legacies, Of Course
charms
the Goop, especially augments and vatborn
chimæra
garde vs non-garde
species (where relevant and appropriate)
whatever is going on with the entity, the spark, and how they relate to different planets' alive-or-dead status
staying undercover vs strategically revealing information
establishing bases, resources, and backup vs being ready to make a clean getaway
guidelines for making/tweaking new legacies, charms, etc while keeping them balanced and fun, as well as leaving room for people to use their own interpretations of the worldbuilding
And So On
it might take me a while to get around to it, and it might turn into a Huge Complex Thing of Its Own, or might just be good for some flavoring and small mechanical twists added on to an existing game. but i think it'd be a lot of fun to work on, and if anyone has suggestions for systems you think it might work well with or other things from the books to adapt, feel free to weigh in!
#replies#new-lorien-artist#ttrpg tag#LL tag#LL rpg#whosebaby makes things#whosebaby does game dev#i'm already getting ideas for things like how to balance out characters with canon-typical overpowered legacies and 👀#it's really unfortunate that D&D has been synonymous with ttrpgs for so long; because it's not really built for *storytelling*#and it tends to scare new players off#it's like if most people's only knowledge of the concept of a movie was star wars#or if their only knowledge of the concept of videogames was call of duty. a movie is a star wars and a videogame is a call of duty#i'm really glad that other ttrpgs and the fact that they're a Whole Medium with a huge amount of variety have gained steam in recent years#because way more people get to actually enjoy it as an artform now; and the infamous level of gatekeeping is losing its stranglehold#god bless#also tl;dr ttrpg systems are just the mechanics that the game you're playing runs on#which may or may not be compatible with each other if you're willing to tinker with them a bit#you might be able to make a stardew valley mod where the fishing minigame works more like fishing from an older harvest moon game#playing overwatch in stardew valley is. a whole different story. although it would be so fucking funny if someone did make a mod to do that#for perspective also on the massive systems thing: a system's rules manual can be anywhere from one page long to like 400 and beyond#especially if you're running it from the perspective of DM. D&D and warhammer fall firmly into the latter category :'D#and this holds true across *multiple* books for each one; especially once you start adding in expansions#i'll learn systems several hundred pages long if i'm vibing with it but otherwise.

So... I'm back!
Hi hello everyone! As I said yesterday, I'm back! As such, I want to get some housekeeping out of the way and some revision on the chaos we have here before I begin asks.
Firstly, I just want to once again thank everyone for their kind words and warm welcomes back. I've missed you all very much and I'm so glad to be back. As I said yesterday, law school and mental health and just life in general got the best of me but I am finally on break and have rested enough that I feel like I can actually write again. So thank you all for welcoming me back! I am as glad as all of you to be returning.
Considering how long it's been I thought it would be best to quickly revise things so we're all in agreement.
RULES:
As in my pinned post, I won't write anything with children, childbirth or pregnancy. I also won't write poor BDSM practices between a driver and reader or sub!reader. There's a full comprehensive list in my pinned post but these are the most important ones.
REQUESTS:
Give as much detail as you'd like. I need more info than just a driver and a genre but how much more than that you go is entirely up to you!
I write for all current F1 drivers except for Fernando, Checo, Nico and Kevin. I also write for Logan Sergeant, Mick Schumacher, Ollie Bearman and Arthur Leclerc. And then also all current MotoGP riders. If there's anyone I've missed let me know! Or if there's anyone you'd like me to write for also let me know.
TAGS:
Everything will always be tagged appropriately so you can filter out content you don't want. I use a system of emojis to represent some of the content that Tumblr won't let me tag correctly. If there's anything else you think I should tag for beyond what's on the pinned post then let me know!
AUs:
On top of normal content I will be bringing back the AUs! I've tried to write a brief summary of every AU below but it's very possible I've forgotten one. If I have or if you have suggestions for any AUs then please do let me know.
D/S AU: Everyone is assigned as submissive or a dominant. The teams therefore hire team doms or subs to look after their drivers, though we only use that sometimes. Nothing is set in stone beyond just that everyone is either a dom or a sub.
POLY!PIARLES: I know this isn't technically an AU but I figured I'd mention it anyway. Pierre and Charles are in a poly relationship with reader with Charles being a sub and Pierre a switch. Charles also tends to call reader mommy and everyone tends to call him bunny.
HYBRID!AU: some people are hybrids with animals. We tend to speak about Charles and Arthur as bunny hybrids, Pierre as wolf hybrids and max, Lando and Oscar as cat hybrids. None of these roles are set in stone though! So feel free to suggest any others.
PORN!AU: Reader owns a porn studio and drivers are porn stars. We also sometimes mix this with other AUs, like the hybrid!au.
LITTLE!AU: Similar to D/S AU but everyone is either a little or a caregiver.
I think that's all the basics covered! If I've forgotten something then let me know!! I also will officially be taking requests again! I'll be writing a mixture of old requests in my askbox and new ones you lads send in.
So yeah! I am very glad to be back :))

yayyyy requests are open I'm so happy :D!! could i pretty please ask for project sekai boys with a reader who forgets things a lot? like they're not good at remembering dates/names or if they're told something they'll forget it a few hours/a day later? tysm i love your writing <333
ouuu reader just like me fr,, TY IM GLAD U DO and I hope u like this!! <3
♡ FORGETFUL - Akito Shinonome, Toya Aoyagi, Tsukasa Tenma and Rui Kamishiro x Reader
Tumblr media
Akito:
Tumblr media
Akito is simply bewildered by how forgetful you are. He can't comprehend how you manage to forget things so much-
He'd never make fun of you for it genuinely, although he might make a joke every now and then. He'll stop if you ever get upset by these jokes though!
He starts to carry your things around because he'll know you'll forget. He'll just hold your bag or something out to you before you leave
He also makes sure to remind you of events, dates or names whenever he needs to, simply nudging you and whispering them into your ear with a nod
If worse comes to worse, he'll tag along with you whenever he can, making mental notes of things that are probably important for you to remember <3
Tumblr media
Toya:
Tumblr media
Toya is also confused by how forgetful you are, but it's not like he hasn't had his moments, so who is he to judge?
He's always very gentle whenever he reminds you of things, he wouldn't dare to ever make fun of you or make you feel bad about it
He makes sure to repeat things to you often, knowing it's more than likely you already forgot so there's no reason he shouldn't remind you again
He has his own systems for remembering things like names and dates and tries to teach you it, but it probably won't work too well-
Whenever he can't be around you, he leaves you little notes. They're usually placed on your notebooks or your important items, always accompanied with a little note <3
Tumblr media
Tsukasa:
Tumblr media
This is Tsukasa we're talking about. He literally forgot half of his childhood, but if we don't think about that, he probably has a pretty good memory!
Get ready to have your own personal reminder walking around with you, because he'll literally light up and go, "Oh!! Did you remember to?-"
This happens a lot. He'll get a nagging feeling at the back of his mind and then remind you of whatever it was that popped up in his mind-
He's remembered a lot of scripts over his time, so dates and names are no issue for him! He doesn't know how to explain his methods, but he'll try to help you!
It's very unlikely that he won't be by your side to remind you of things, but just in case he isn't, he'll send you a bunch of texts to make sure you remember things <3
Tumblr media
Rui:
Tumblr media
Rui has a scarily good memory. I mean he taught himself robotics, he probably has the ability to remember things from a first glance-
He would also be the type to tease you about how forgetful you are, but he would always stop if you ever get uncomfortable. Teasing is just in his nature though-
A very normal occurrence is him working through something and casually reminding you of something. He'll grin when your eyes just widen as you remember
He also remembers a ton of scripts, so his ability to remember names and dates is pretty good. When asked how he does it though, he'll shrug and give you a notepad-
Yes, he's making you a drone to remind you of things. That also includes reminding you to use the drone, but it does help once you get used to using it <3

YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO STEAL MY OPEN TAGS <333
hmmmm oh choices choices, but I must say the title that most grabbed my attention is "Please Hang Up! Don’t Try Your Call Again"- I'm VERY CURIOUS.
:D <333 I LOVE TO PLAY TAG GAMES. and to hear other people talk about their wips!!
I'm also SO glad that out of all the fics you picked that one. It's one of the first SW fic ideas I had before Rumor Has It jumped my brain in a dark alley, and I really want to write it eventually. It is actually codywan this time, eventually. POV Cody and occasionally Ahsoka.
In which Cody does some breaking and entering, endures a month of the galaxy's most aggravating phone calls, fistfights the dark side of the Force, and accidentally fulfills a prophecy. Or: Chancellor Palpatine: Such a shame to lose our dear Commander CC2224. Cody: Stop telling people I'm dead! Chancellor Palpatine: Sometimes I can still hear his voice.
[snippet under cut]
"My General will come," Cody says, because the idea that Obi-Wan wouldn't is the biggest insult he's heard to the man in at least a year standard.
"The Force, my dear Commander, can hide a great many things from view," the hologram snarls. "He and your men will leave you for dead, and you will starve long before you can even attempt escape." With a spasm of blue, the figure disappears.
Cody can't help a frustrated hiss through his teeth. Food is his most immediate problem, despite the ominous atmosphere of the complex and the nightmare its comm system has on speed dial. Would a dar'jetti even need to eat?
Ooh, look at me, I'm a Sith, he can almost hear Waxer saying. I'm having evil rations for my evil breakfast.
His next thought--that he might never hear Ghost Company's nonsense or watch the 212th shinies earn their paint ever again--hurts more than he expects.
The battalion will be fine; they've got the General and a fine roster of veteran troopers to guide and protect them. But he can't give them up without a fight, and right now the mystery darksider is his only source of intel on... anything about this place.
Kenobi tactics almost certainly won't work here, so it's time to go Skywalker. Cody punches the comm button again, summoning up the tiny cloaked figure. "Hey fucker, I wasn't done talking to you."
The hologram is managing to look surprised without having any visible facial features, so Cody takes that as a good sign. The creepy artifact seems like it could be good leverage for a dar'jetti; he'll go for that first. "Do you want me to break your haunted triangles? Because keeping me here is how you break your haunted triangles."

ooo your characters look reeeaaallllyy interesting. Tho I'd like to know a little bit more about keepers. Have you written much? If so, where can I read it in order?
Thank you so much! I am SO glad to hear that!!! :D The keepers have pretty much consumed my brain for the last four years hahaha
Basically this story happened because my sister said one day "what if instead of goofing around making crossovers/aus of stories we like, we made up brand new stories and then made them crossover." Then we started the hard work of creating a whole bunch of co-universal plots so we could send the main characters on crossover adventures together and have it be 100% canon 😂
To enhance this crossover aspect, we're trying to make each of the main stories a different genre- Ketsler is from a second-world fantasy, Skylar from an intrusive fantasy/fairytale setting, Betty mystery thriller, and Felix sci-fi superheroes!
@wednesday-chicken is a great resource if you're looking to learn more, it's a blog specifically for the keepers wip containing all the posts made both by me and @masterfuldoodler (of course you can always send an ask or dm!)
Since the keepers is a collection of stories that all come together to tell a single narrative, (for example "Dauntless" is a four season long show but it's the first installment in the keepers series) it's kinda messy and all over the place lol We're still trying to come up with the perfect publishing order, but here's a timeline August put together that covers each of the separate storylines and how they line up chronologically:
Tumblr media
I'm hoping to get things organized better once I've got a website up, but I have no idea when that will be lol
I use my personal blog as a place to share art, but also to make it easy for me to reference past drawings without having to dig through a heap of paper, so the tagging system should help if you're willing to hunt around a little lol
#keepers written will take you to all of the writing I've posted for the wip, but uh. I'm really bad at actually posting my writing lol
#keepers universe is for ALL posts for the keepers wip (a recent addition to the system so it doesn't Actually include everything right now, sorry 😂)
#dauntless wip will take you to JUST posts for Felix's backstory.
#keepers will take you to the posts for the keepers plotline, except for the posts exclusively for the dauntless wip
For anything else all I've got for you is character tags 😅
Here's direct links to the main cast on the keepers blog:
#ketsler . #rhyin . #felix . #skylar . #gigi . #betty . #haru
There are quite a few other characters. They will all have their names tagged as well, so feel absolutely free to poke around!
If you have any questions, or are curious about something specific, feel free to send an ask to here, to @masterfuldoodler or @wednesday-chicken! :D
(also, just a tip. the search bar on blogs will search the blog for posts with the phrase in the post, if you click a tag that will bring up all posts tagged that sorted newest to oldest)

Who spoils who? Does their S/O tolerate it? Do they secretly enjoy it?
What's something that they don't really care for but tolerate because S/O has an interest?
Have they ever almost lost one another? How does it effect their relationship?
Hello! Sorry it took forever to respond. (OC relationship ask game here!)
Doing the couples canon to Part One.
55. Who spoils who? Does their S/O tolerate it? Do they secretly enjoy it?
Jazlyn/Ewan - Ewan absolutely spoils Jazlyn, and Jazlyn loves the attention.
Wade/Teo - They are both the type to spoil each other, so it depends on your definition of it, I think. Teo is more likely to shower Wade with spoils, but is more needy than Wade, and Wade is more likely to be a touch overbearing. I guess Teo?
Gwen/Akash - They're kinda the opposite of the previous. Neither are the type to spoil. They're just committed and take their relationship seriously. I guess Akash slightly because he's insecure and Wants To Make Sure Gwen Is Happy At All Times even though she's happy just being with him.
54. What's something that they don't really care for but tolerate because S/O has an interest?
Jazlyn/Ewan - Jazlyn likes music just fine, but not music theory. However, if Ewan wants to run a song he's working on by her, she's more than happy to listen to what he has to say and do, and she'll binge a show with him even though she'd rather be Doing something. Ewan also isn't the biggest fan of clubs or loud parties, but he's definitely gonna go to one if Jazlyn wants to go. Or if she wants to volunteer at a comedy show, he'll go up with her.
Wade/Teo - Teo does not like football but goes to all of Wade's games. He also allows Wade to make a pretty schedule for them. Wade isn't a D&D or LARPing person, but Teo is, so he'll definitely join him with that.
Gwen/Akash - Akash isn't a hiker or a museum person, but he'll join Gwen on a date that she'll remember. Gwen doesn't love watching sports, but she'll sit down and watch every baseball and soccer game of the seasons if Akash wants to.
84. Have they ever almost lost one another? How does it effect their relationship?
Uhhhhh
First of all, wrong effect. It's affect. Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb. Glad we're on the same page.
Alright I'll stop being a dick. I'm stalling.
Let's pretend this is hypothetical :)
Jazlyn/Ewan - Jazlyn would try to move on and pretend she's fine but fail miserably. Ewan would feel like his life lost meaning. Going forward, Jazlyn would get more overprotective of Ewan and more reckless than she already is. Ewan would also be clingy and overbearing and get a little shorter with Jazlyn, just to make sure she stays out of danger.
Wade/Teo - Wade would be fueled like a stereotypical male assassin protagonist whose wife was killed in the first five minutes of the movie. He might neglect all responsibilities and needs in order to bring whomever harmed Teo to justice. Teo would be driven to figure out what happened, perhaps being in denial of what's going on, and keep going through sheer willpower to bring people to...well, justice, again, they think alike. Going forward, they'd mourn what they lost but never let each other go again.
Gwen/Akash - Gwen would make her new purpose in life Akash. Akash would become her drive, her motivation, her fire burning inside spreading outward. She may lock herself away from others to make sure she made the system change for Akash's benefit, she's going to turn the place upside down to make sure that Akash is avenged. Akash on the other hand would probably lose all motivation if something happened to Gwen. He'd shut down. Their relationship would be on hold as they went through their own internal shit about losing each other, but they'd recover eventually.
Woo that was a lot. Thanks for the ask and for the wait! Not that you had a choice in the latter lol

thank you for all the work you've put into your blog! i know we've said it before but seeing your posts helps us feel not as alone in this fandom, hanging on to our niche little special interest (there are very few of us still left here on tumblr)! it's clear that a lot of sincerity and love goes into what you do, too!
or, uh, basically, you've managed to make the autism part of our brain dedicating 40% of its function to this franchise VERY happy and that means so so much to us so wrndskjfnsdfjsdf

hi mpc, this is in response to your tags on my last confession. i was getting pretty insecure over the hair situation (hairtuation). like man, going gray before i’m 25? but hey maybe that’s expected ‘cause of you know, the system shit and stress making you go gray earlier, but even if it wasn’t, who cares? salt and pepper can be in, assuming i don’t get suddenly blasted by the gray/white hair beam and wake up with a full head of i– which can also be in, just a little crazier than slowburn hair. anyway seeing you say it was sick honestly makes the whole hairtuation feel a little easier to deal with, so i wanted to say thanks for that. it feels a little silly, but seeing people be… idk, normal about it i guess, is relieving. — dave strider (fictive, #⚙️💡)
Dave! D money! You have no idea how many people blow beaucoup bucks just to look half as badass as you do, just rolling out of bed!!! Triple digits! I ain't making light of your hairtuation [excellent slang], that does does suck worse than horse thieves. But seriously, grey hair, salt and pepper, even a light sprinkling is an incredibly cool flair to have and I'm glad you're getting something worthwhile out of it. [I am sincerely envious and jealous. BOTH!!]

Hi :3
Hey! Glad you somehow found your way here throughout this chaotic hellsite :D
I typically go by Mysterious or Raven, I'm a minor, and I use she/they pronouns
I mainly post about Hermitcraft/life series, but here's a bunch of my other interests as well :D
Mcyt (lil bits of dsmp, qsmp, empires, Xlife, + some others)
Alice Oseman (Heartstopper, IWBFT, etc)
Brandon Sanderson (Skyward, Cosmere, etc)
Percy Jackson
The Owl House
Good Omens
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Kipo And The Age Of The Wonderbeasts
Persona (though I've only played 3-5)
Epic the musical (I was peer pressured by @royallygray /j)
Writing
Music/guitar
Reading
Art in general :3
The art in my pfp is by @kaereth and the art on my header is by @chrisrin!! (both amazing artists that you should totally go give a follow to)
DNI if you're homophobic, transphobic, or plan on spreading hate to people here.
If you are my mutual, I will probably tag you in a lot of tag games, lil things I think you would like, etc, so if you don't want me to tag you please send me and ask or message me!! Also, I don't tag every single one of my muts in every tag game, and I don't have any sort of system to how I choose, so if you see I didn't tag you in something IT DOESNT MEAN I DONT LOVE YOU I PROMISE (and feel free to join in anyways!!)
Please do not send me asks for donations for reasons here:
I am likely to block you if you do, as I have now clearly stated that it is against my boundaries.
Under the cut are: tags I use, some encouragement + love, some of my mutuals, and just general nonsense.
Tags (that I sometimes use) :D
#mysteriouswrites- All my writing (including stories, fics, poetry, etc)
#mysteriousanswers- My answers to asks :D
#mysteriousdraws- My art + sketches
#rambling- my silly lil random posts
#fave- MY MOST FAVORITE ART EVER THAT I THINK IS JUST AWESOME AND GO FERAL OVER
Some love for anyone who needs it:
I love you. I don't care if I've never met you, we were made from the same things as the stars, weren't we? That in of itself is beautiful- I will love you with the same mysterious adoration I have for the stars, and I just want you to know that I care about you. And I know sometimes things seem like they'll never be better, that it seems the entire universe is against you, but I'll always be on your side. You've got this. And I'm proud of you, no matter what you've done. Things get better eventually, I know they will- and it sucks waiting for things to come around, especially if they keep going down. But the sun has shone before, and it will again. And even in your darkest times, the stars are still shining their light into your soul to push you forward.
I love you. Stay strong.
Some of my mutuals who I love very dearly and would die for:
@royallygray The most amazing lovely creature to ever walk the stars and I love them to death <3
@charbeloved The person who I would literally sell my soul to, another glorious human who's remarkable
@geodetojoy Someone who I'd absolutely love to just run away into the forest with and never find our way back out again
@emmaestrella Another lovely silly human who's just incredible
@izoexa you are. so cool. just. vibes. yeah. :]
@t4tgempearl Juneeeeee (you will always be june to me) you're also just. super cool. probably who I've been muts the longest on this list :D
I love you all <3
