I have Gravity Falls and Etc. fic(s) idea(s)
Which, I am going to write now while I am having this fic idea (probably going to be a short one, but in the future I might make a revised expanded version or something. Who knows).
I actually have multiple Gravity Falls and GF TAU and Reverse Falls and etc. stuff that stems from this specific The Book of Bill thing.
Specifically stuff exploring Dipper's nightmares.
(I have some other ideas for the other dreams and/or nightmares too. Sometimes even in relation to Dipper's in some way).
I love my boy, and his nightmares hurt my heart.
But also because I love him, I want to explore even more of issues/trauma/suffering and/or to do Dipper angst. And etc.
Because I want both happiness and/or suffering for my faves/the characters I love very much.
Like Dipper.
So he is going to be getting even more of that from me, probably.
Because he is great and I love him.
#chatxkilluaxnoir#i am a cruel god#i am kind god too#sometimes. and etc.#and this kind of stuff (like my fics and stuff) are some ways me#as a God (writer and/or etc.) shows my love for things#and characters#like dipper.#he might hate what some of my love for him sometimes makes him suffer through.#lol.#anyways. let's just say the fic i am going to be posting probably.#has me really thinking of some TAU lore (that isn't always used. but can be cool when it is used but also cool when it isn't) in connectio#to dipper having reoccuring nightmares.#i have a ironic; angsty idea that i am excited to write.#finally gonna be posting something again on ao3 hopefully. after so long.#also; usually i would want to rewatch GF before doing this fic.#but instead; i am just going to write. and then probably rewatch gf soon.#and once i do. i might make some revisions or additions to this fifc.#like better characterization maybe because characters are very important to me.#and i do want to try to get them well.#and maybe expand on the idea?#but for now. i am going to be writing this idea while it is still fresh in my mind.#gf#tau#gravity falls#transcendence au#tbob#tbob spoilers#the book of bill#the book of bill spoilers

Current request list (updated)
in no particular order
amab!MC floating the idea of marriage once the realms are at peace (Lucifer, Diavolo, and Barbatos)
MC with a stereotypical New York accent that only comes out around family headcanons (brothers + dateables)
The characters spending the holidays with the reader headcanons (brothers + "extras" - I'm pretty sure that means all the other characters including Mephi, Thirteen, and Raph, so all)
gn!MC who casually flirts back and then has the audacity to be surprised that they're being seduced (brothers)
MC getting a kiss on the cheek (all)
Monster!Simeon with gn!MC NSFW + some anger, jealousy, and devotion/worship sprinkled in
Religious guilt Raphael tapping out during his first time with MC because his body is, in fact, not ready
Hurt/comfort after a (dealer's choice) traumatic incident with MC - high angst (the others/dateables + side characters)
Simeon (and Barbatos) dad content
Simeon x Barbatos x MC angst - no comfort
Strong MC carrying them (and carrying them around like a princess) (the others/dateables + side characters)
They get jealous over gn!MC jokingly simping over Just Some Fucking (Fictional) Guy (brothers)
Reacting to a moss-eating MC (brothers) (is this at all related to my blog name?)
Simeon + Barbatos angst (No MC, I think?)
Reacting to MC eating sand headcanon (all?) (MC with PICA? Don't do this though - some mosses are edible, but sand is not and can be dangerous)
Reacting to s/o MC wanting to fan over/discuss their favorite novel with them (all)
Insecure first relationship with MC (all)
No nut November headcanons (demon brothers) (Complete)
MC with an eating disorder comfort - with extra Beel comfort (type of ED was unspecified so I will do my best there; also I'm really sorry you're struggling anon M. I love you. Try to take care, and please practice harm reduction where/when possible)
Lucifer getting jealous that gn!MC is spending more time with a plush of him - SFW specified
Simeon dad content with BoF!MC (obey me au/ 💜 anon's au)
Barbatos October poll post (monster kink) pt. 2 - aftercare version
Hard core sex with tons of aftercare (side characters - remember this means Thirteen, Raph, and Mephi on this blog) (this request required deciphering on my end, so lets hope that's correct)
gn!MC choosing not to become immortal while on the brink of death headcanons (the others)
MC introducing Diavolo to the game Katamari Damacy
The guys having gay panic / an awakening over m!MC
amab!MC having a movie date with soft dom!Thirteen that ends in sex (anon. I love you so much for this one.)
MC who scratches their skin and bites their nails to fidget (+ blood) reactions (Barbatos and Thirteen)
Reader refusing Lucifer's and Belphie's pact (extra angst flavoring)
Poly DiaLuci asking gn!MC out
MC returning the favor and giving roses back (the others) (I'm not sure if you meant "the others" grouping/everyone but the brothers or others in general, but because it'll probably take me a long time for this one, I'll start with the others grouping)
Finding out MC used to be aggressive in high school but has since mellowed out (the dateables)
MC who doesn't talk unless necessary headcanons (the brothers)
Luke telling MC he wants to marry them when he's older fluff (This should go without saying but 100% platonic with no room for romantic interpretations)
MC character study
I am going to try to pick one of the shorter ones and get started on it tonight (I always have so much trouble picking something to start). I already have ideas written down for the Simeon x Barbatos x MC angst, though.
And remember, if you don't see your request but you sent one in, you will have to resend it because this is everything so far. Additionally, if you notice something wrong in the interpretations of these asks, you're welcome to correct that. I'll edit/update this post periodically until requests close.
Requests close at the end of Sunday, November 5th PST. It may take a while to get through all of them since I will probably only post once or twice a week throughout November - it just depends on what I can get through.
#moss update#also not going to lie the old brain sadness has been hitting me so if you have angsty or hurt/comfort requests please send them in#it might be cathartic or something maybe? I don't know.#it might pass in a few days with luck though.#Oh mental health you sweet elusive trickster

I'm not really a "shipper" per se but I will admit that the utter lack of gansheik stuff anywhere is a real surprise to me. You can't hardly even find platonic stuff of them having a dynamic despite all the fuel that the manga gives for tension and potential interactions.
#gansheik#clinging hard to the few AUs that have them regularly interact. thank u secret identity Sheik artists... mwah#a trusted associate and friend of mine called it 'the most obvious ship ever' and like. Yes. where the heck is it#tfw a friend piques your interest in something and you only find out afterwards it's OBSCURE! got me good lol#literally demonic supervillain + angsty henchman secretly plotting to kill him like HELLO?#normal zelgan is also a lot less popular than I thought but it has *some* content#maybe I should just stop having expectations for the LoZ fandom even though it's had like 30+ years to make this stuff#think I'll work on that ranked fic list after all lol. give me an excuse to read and ponder them all

Joshua supremacy 😭😭😭 I’m so soft for him. Just let me be his little princess. He can make all the rules idc
omg he’s so gorgeous and like the thing about him—at least in my opinion/my own personal interpretation—is that while he is genuinely so sweet (almost sickly so at times!) and so kindhearted and so so tender, he is also so used to being served and so used to being the Boss, the undying’s precious phoenix prince, the king of everything, and it comes out in these tiny little wisps and hints in certain interactions; a vaguely bratty comment, a gentle yet vehement assertion, a soft chuckle beneath a gloved hand……..
all of this is to say, i think he’d fucking love to have a partner who lives to serve him and be his precious lil doll (to the point where he may even feel guilty about how much he loves it, because he knows it isn’t necessarily right, but he just can’t help but feel this way about you <3). he wouldn’t push it on you, and he wouldn’t hold you back from doing things you wanted to, either, if he deems them good or beneficial for you—he’d definitely encourage you to do things if they were things you wanted to do/made you happy—but oh, to have a baby who’s syrupy sweet and devotedly doting and hangs on his every word; to have a precious lil princess who gazes up at him as if he’s painted the entire night sky by hand, speckled the stars across the atmosphere and carved out the moon himself; to have a soft sweetheart who clings to him in every way possible, hands curled around his fingers or wrists or biceps when he takes you for a walk in the gardens or when you sit down for a meal (always beside him, never across from him, protocol be damned), who snuggles in his lap or straddles his thighs and nuzzles their sugar-sweet lips against his neck or collarbone or jaw, who obediently never leaves his side unless it is absolutely necessary <33333 that sounds like a perfect dream, a paradise, to him <3
#i’m in love i’m in LOVEEEEEE#i’m writing a small piece of prose for him right now that’s mostly angsty but does focus on his bratty bossy tendencies hehehehehehe#i am also writing something i promised myself i wouldn’t write for this blog HAHAHA and in Clari Tradition i kind of want it to be the very#first piece i post but it’s also getting quite long so we’ll have to see#anyway i blame jote for like;;;;; half of this behaviour#joshua could murder an entire village in cold blood just because ‘he felt like it’ and girlie would be like ‘excellent job your grace’#pls gtfo outta here~#this post is me beginning my yandere joshua campaign HAHAHAHA#hope ur having an awesome day anon!! <3#stay safe n drink water okay!!!#inky.bb#inky.joshua#clari gets mail#shOULD I PUT THIS IN THE TAGS???????#maybe :o#joshua rosfield x reader#omg (^q^)

Just finished my first playthrough of BG3. Romanced Lae'zel, but ending up turning into an Illithid because the idea of making Orpheus or Karlach do it didn't sit well with me (or my character).
I told Lae'zel to leave with Orpheus in the end (I heard she wouldn't stay with a ghaik anyway, which she's valid for, but also, it doesn't feel right to ask her to stay when I know how much her people mean to her). And like-
Her face before she flies off---
She looks so heartbroken and sad.
#emmodii rambles#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate series#lae'zel#spoilers#i don't regret my choices and i do love a good angsty story. but at the same time... OOF.#may you find a new source of joy in the astral realm my queen :'(#for anyone curious- i played a githyanki which i heard is the only race that can fly off with her or something?#but well. again- didn't quite fit my character to have someone else turn instead pfffft#ALSO HE'S A CLERIC OF ILMATER AND A REDEEMED DARK URGE. self-sacrifice is kiNDA TO BE EXPECTED HAHAHA.#anyway- do give romancing lae'zel a shot guys. she may be a hardass at first but it's really because she cares a lot#also slightly off-topic but as a dark urge gith... durge grew up in a city so like. wonder how out of place they woulda felt with the#other githyankis anyway. i think i read somewhere that a gith durge realises they don't really feel connected to creches and stuff#which is interesting and makes me curious about how exactly they were made. cuz they have the traits and knowledge of the race but didn't#grow up with them. i guess the easiest answer would be 'god magic shenanigans' but STILL.#trust me to overthink things hahaha XD#if anyone's curious what happened to my guy in the end--- we followed wyll and karlach to avernus hahaha#what are the devils gonna do? steal the soul we don't have?? TRY IT BITCH#of course i did reload multiple times to have my character kill himself. because that was another option that felt possible for his charact#...and also because i wanted to see how companions would react to it. krewfjewlkrjewklrjewl- although the narration for durge suicide#is also quite interesting! of course maybe that's just me being mentally ill eff (/lh) but having a kill that isn't going to murder daddy?#gives a redeemed durge some control and a final say at last. which is still sad but a nice way to tie up their death methinks#ANYWAY- time to go find a way to convert him into a full-on OC. elves and dwarves are one thing but giths are blatantly dnd so i'mma have#to figure that out for my own story lore and universe--- some kinda new species? humanify him? or convert to another existing general speci#hmm hmm hmmmmmmmmmm-#emmodii plays bg3

#having a creative rut feeling#gonna rant#im basically a giant baby and i don't handle angst very well#and i constantly worry that im just. idk mentally weak or a deeply uninteresting person bc of it.#every big fantasy artist i see is usually very into making sad or angsty pieces and like i wish i was like that#like i fall into this mental hole very very often that im just holding myself back with how many subjects i dont write or draw#but also like when i DO write dark subjects it doesn't make me feel any better??#i dont like feeling sad or angry bc once i am its extremely hard to get back out of it.#and thats scary for me.#but also i want to make art that means something instead of my nonestop slew of smut and feelgood content.#i genuinely feel so trapped by my own emotions and its sp frustrating.#i keep getting told how good for you it is to get the negative feelings out but it never helps when i do it#i just feel. worse? i dont feel good.#i kinda wanna delete the one cloud post bc it just doesn't feel good.#ugh#idk i want to have good intelligent things to say and thoughtful art to make#and everything i make feels soft and cheesey and lame.#not that i find those things lame#but just that it feels like im stuck in baby brain.#when i was a teen i would write horror stories!!! i still love horror!!!#but if i make someone suffer in fic now it feels me with this awful awful overwhelming sense of dread and guilt and i end up so upset#im frustrated at me bc this is such a fucking weird sensitivity to have. im tried of telling myself its okay#bc i WANT to feel mentally free enough to create shit that isnt just uwu soft.#i don't think im making sense but like.#you know#I've literally been bullied out of fandom spaces for only making soft content#multiple times.#so idk maybe this is a learned sense of shame#but i feel like a big over sensitive baby and like I'd be able to do so much more if i wasn't#vent ish

is it a mother's thing to always make you feel depressed even when you were initially happy?
#angsti rambles#like I literally answered the phone just a bit tired#and this woman was like 'oh you have always such grumpy faces' these days#I am sorry I literally have been working for three months and I feel dissastisfeid with it#I know they won't keep me so I am rushing to find something else to do after#and I am stressing because I am sure I am not doing enough or something#so sorry if maybe my face isn't the happiest#I just want to sleep these days#also she's such an hypocrite because I told her a few days ago 'I am doing fine and I am happy with my life'#also I hate when she begins with the 'you need to do experiences don't mind about the money'#like ma'am I am sorry I don't want to weight on you and dad as I have beend doing it like a leech like leave me alone

Lave-san i need help i desperately need fics where the DCA does not like you initially/straight up dislikes you and avoids you. Bonus ppints for mechanic y/n
So I'll lead with the disclaimer that I crowdfunded this reply because I am a pitifully slow reader, which translates to me actually reading only very few fanfics. However, I trust my sources (from the Sleepy Cove Server <3), so I'll wholeheartedly recommend these!
First the two I have actually read:
Our Orbit is Elliptical by @sycopomp and @madame-mongoose
The Daycare Attendant is very protective of his role in the Superstar Daycare; he was made for this job, after all, and he finds it insulting that management seems to think he needs help. They insist on saddling him with human assistants, over and over, no matter how many quit. Not that he does it intentionally, of course... but if they can't handle the stress, then perhaps they aren't fit to be working with children. Hmph.
You are the new Daycare Assistant at the Superstar Daycare! Despite some reservations, you're determined to do your best and prove-- mostly to yourself-- that you deserve to be here. You're inspired by Sun and the ease with which he gets along with the children, and you hope to impress him with your go-getter attitude and unflappable confidence! (Even if both of those things are about as flimsy as construction paper...)
aka: Sun is passive-aggressive to his new assistant, whom is so determined to do a good job that they're too oblivious to notice.
Almost Human by @vilz
“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.” ― Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis
---
You get a new job. It's a struggle.
And now the ones that make me wish I could read faster or simply have more time in the day:
Two Choices by @thelonereni
You chose this.
There was regret of course, but turning back wasn't an option anymore. You couldn't lose this new game you found yourself in, and somehow you managed to feel more and more alive the longer you played...
You have worked in sanitation since the pizzaplex opened, but that all changed when you had a bit of a mishap in the kitchen. With the only real option left being an assistant in the daycare, you decided it couldn't be worse that your previous position.
Between the surly daycare attendant, bosses breathing down your neck and the corporate overlords coming for a visit, your starting to think you make really shitty life choices.
What's The Moral Here? by @/siquieres on ao3
Your little brother is invited to a birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, hosted inside the Superstar Daycare. The Daycare Attendant takes a disliking towards you, or at least, that's what you think it is. Despite this and the violent nightmares of a sun god that plague you, you keep letting your brother bring you back. You keep coming back.
A sort of mean-spirited take on the Sun/Reader dynamic. Reader is often injured, intentionally or not.
What's It Called When Light Hits A Prism? by @/TooManyPsuedonyms on ao3
The PizzaPlex has been running--and the Management needs a new operator for one of their salvaged animatronics.
You are just trying to live independently, so of course, you'll take the job.
You have no idea what you're in for. Granted, you never really know what you're in for, but this can't be much different than working with regular human people… right?
And perhaps one where the DCA doesn't outright dislike Y/N, but the premise still causes tension in their dynamic (and you get mechanic Y/N!):
It's Curtains For You! by @muzzlemouths
|| “You will be befriending, then dismantling the animatronic,” he gets right to the point, “and you’ll have about a month to do it.”
You're not here to make friends. You're here to earn what you can, smile and nod with simple Yes Sirs, and keep your head down low. An open position as the Daycare Attendant's newest 'mechanic' doesn't change any of that. You're on a tight schedule with the disassembly and you can't afford to be getting attached.
But what happens when you do?
#answer let luce#anonymous#fnaf sb#fic rec#I'm sorry it's kinda short? I have no baseline admittedly#yes some of these havent updated in a hot minute but that doesnt mean they're bad fics#and given that just yesterday I updated a fic I haven't updated in one and a half years because of 1 (one) nice comment#I encourage you to just read and enjoy what's there and maybe let the author know if you liked it#I also read It's Curtains For You I just remembered it last because it doesn't *quite* fit what you wanted#but I cannot wait for the fallout#did. sorry realization moment did I ever reblog the fanart for ooie that I submitted via ask.#I was still “stealth” when I drew it oh my god i dont think thats on my blog#ive had friends say “ooie reader behavior” any time I do something angsty for rejection sensitivity catharsis and theyre right#also vilz has so many good takes on Sun I love their interpretation of him#makes me go insane /pos#anyways yes thats. thats a long tag ramble I'm just gonna unleash this

Listen. I haven’t watched Ted Lasso. I do not plan on watching Ted Lasso (just not my thing). However last night I was dreaming and who should walk into my dreams but ROY KENT AND JAMIE TARTT. This is YOUR FAULT. I have ABSORBED YOUR BLORBOS THROUGH OSMOSIS
my bad
#although it’s funny you should say that cause i remember when my brother was trying to get me to watch ted lasso#he kept asking me for like 4-6 months or so#and i kept saying ‘it’s not my thing’#and then i went to visit him and i guess we had nothing better to do so he was like ‘please just try one episode’#so i said ‘fine. why not.’#and i didn’t pay much attention to it…like i was half interested in it until maybe the 3rd or 4th episode#and then i started paying more attention and then i got hooked…#eventually rewatched the whole thing and liked it even more the second time#and this was a few months before season 3 aired and of course by then i was a big fan of this silly football show#kinda went a little crazy while season 3 was airing too#but my fixation on it is stronger now i think than before#also i do not really care for sports…someone thought i like this show because i love the sport or something#but i do not…i just really enjoy the characters and the humor#i think it’s a great show and watching it feels like a warm hug#it’s funny but also has its angsty moments and idk i feel like my brother now trying to convince people to try it#oh and i don’t even know how i became a royjamie shipper#it just happened….they have a crazy dynamic and i just think they deserved to kiss lol

trick or treat!!!
Thank you sweetie 😘😘😘
OK, how about the new beginning to the fic I'm supposedly editing?
Gertie’s truly is a shithole. Abrasively bright bulbs dot its ceiling, providing an ambience nobody is looking for of a bar while glaring nude upon his pummelled pupils. Near half those fixtures are busted but the fact offers only barest relief: that pervasive glare off high gotta be almost worse on the corneas at his shadowier spot than from any island of intense luminosity he bypassed when selecting this outlying spot along the bar. Considerable cobwebs, plus every stain across the close-by clutch of once-cream tabletops, are distressingly easy to catch sight of in this position anyhow.
Vision now sweeping rapid, Rio’s reminded how none of the interior doors entirely fit their frame; journeying for the bathroom’ll involve huffing and froing along that cluttered back hall come fall… This forms a further frustration for forward-fucking-looking, with the year steadily burning onward.
In distracted irritation he huffs deep, subsequently imbibing the upholstery’s reek. As perpetual, it’s of stale tobacco mixed with some pickling fishiness despite the fact he’s never clocked a soul smoking nor eating inside.
Yeah, Gertie’s gotta be at least two or three rungs below your classic dive. A flop, that might be. In more ways than the one though it remains convenient — no trait worth sniffing scornful over — being only a block and a half up from his own bar makes it a handy location to slide upon when not in a particularly, hm, conspicuous mode.
(and for comparison, here's how it started.)
Trick or treat me(me)!
#Fanfiction#Writing#nbc good girls#tv#Have I been working on this for over 2 years?! 🤯 O dear#I'm not sure I like the newer version more than the old one but o well!#I'm also not sure you'll like this fic sweetie as it's v angsty and fts a lot of r1o/not b3th & some b3th/not r1o#But o well maybe you'll trust me on this journey 😈#Y is it over 136k ooh la la#On editing#Y am I better at editing on my phone; it's not a convenient way to do it waah!#Something

first quarto hamlet my beloved…
#he is such a little shit (affectionate)#to me he seems younger than in some of the other versions#maybe it’s because the language is more simple#but i feel like he’s also more angsty and kind of blunt#instead of ‘i did love you once’ he says ‘i never loved you’#which sounds like something a bitter teenager would say#hamlet#first quarto

Some fantastic and very worthy scenes in the top 20 Ballum scenes I've reblogged over the past couple of days, really nice to be reminded that we've had so much good content.
But earlier today I suddenly realised I didn't think I'd seen the Xmas break-up. Went and checked and, yep, neither of the Xmas break-up scenes (Callum's ily or the actual break-up) made the list. How?!?! Two of their most iconic and beautifully performed scenes! The break-up itself deserved top 5, if not top 3, imo.
Also honourable mention to 'now you sit there and you tell me that you'll love me no matter what' bc that's quite high on my personal list. But given the amount of scenes to choose from I can understand why it's not there. But the Xmas break-up?!
#idk what it says about me that i'd switch out some of the soft scenes for angsty ones#don't get me wrong i love the soft scenes. i'm not against fluff.#but i do think angst makes me feel more and so i'd put them higher in a ranking#i tend to view things more highly if they make me cry (media related things not rl!) but maybe that just suggests i'm a bit messed up...#text post#(also for the avoidance of doubt i'm not having a go at anyone/trying to start something. it's just lighthearted disbelief.)

what didn't you like about it, out of curiousity?
Hmm I’m gonna have to think on it it some more and come back to you when I’ve managed to articulate something
#I will try to get back to you later anon#I didn’t hate it. there were scenes that made me laugh and smile#but I think the prevailing feeling it’s left me with is… confusion/frustration/dissatisfaction? about the message insofar as it had one?#hmm and I think also because it made me remember how much I disliked and felt alienated by barbies growing up#not bc of the body image issues which the film makes some effort to engage with#not beauty standards but FEMININITY standards#and the movie doesn’t acknowledge that aspect of barbie as a cultural influence/reflection at all#except for maybe Allen if you squint??#the assumption is that you want to be barbie at least to some extent. you want to be pretty.#but you’re too stressed to accomplish it or you’re too angsty to embrace your desire to be pretty#the angsty teen goes from wearing all black (and pants) to a purple skirt by the end. the girly makeover subtly signifies healing.#(I know that could just be me reading into it… but is it?)#it’s the way it holds up a specific kind of person as Woman and universalizes her struggles and calls them All Women’s Struggles#while conflating them and largely ignoring actual economic/legal/political issues faced by women as a class#and the whole ken storyline… ehh idk I need it to be more internally consistent or something. to have a coherent message and not just#‘it was like I was in a trance where I thought I cared about the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League’ as a joke about… what?#male-dominant interests being somehow inherently toxic? cool women not being into nerdy boy stuff?#it’s the old men are from mars women are from venus thing#sigh. girl power. lol I don’t know!#sorry this rambling is all I have for you right now#I thought the critique in youtube by verilybitchie touched on a lot of good points tho so maybe that’s somewhere to start#on* youtube#but it’s ok if you liked or loved it. I saw it with my sister who was super psyched for it (which is why I wanted to like it too)#and she’s great so
