[yelena-bellova]

I actually think it's quite clear why they're having Francesca fall in love with Michaela right away and also why her story was the one they chose. At first, I didn't understand it that much as, from my understanding, the book centered on the themes of guilt and grief. But after reading some interviews from the show-runners, it's clear they feel the primary focus of the novel was on Francesca feeling "different" - which in retrospect is highly emphasized in the show, and is how we get to her being a lesbian (they're not going to make her bisexual, I'lll get to that). It's not how I view the story, but I'm not going to criticize someone for experiencing media differently than me.

Anyways, why does she fall in love right away? One, I'm going to be frank, main stream audiences cannot handle a truly bisexual lead. Parts of the internet would lose their shit if a woman who ends up with a woman had actual genuine feelings for a man while the other part of the internet would lose their shit that a woman who loved a man fell in love with a woman. Both sides would, ironically, agree she was just a lesbian all along so there's no point in trying to make her not one.

Secondly, I think romance in general - and particularly Bridgerton - doesn't usually focus on the idea of multiple loves that are of equal value. The genre is geared towards finding your one great love (and that's great! I love it! It's romantic and sweet, and I don't need my bodice-ripper novels to try to tackle real life romance). This is also emphasized in the show, where Violet was clearly feeling like Francesca was settling, hinting that her real love won't be with John. And in TV and film, this is 100% exasperated by shipping - audiences become extremely attached to a main couple, so killing them off will cause chaos. It just makes sense within this context to remove any romantic love from John as, from the perspective of the genre, that devalues the love between Francesca and Micheal/Michaela.

And what is the easiest way to remove romantic love between John and Francesca while keeping John a sympathetic and loving character?

All this to say, Francesca will NEVER love John, not romantically. And that makes her set up perfect for her to be a lesbian. If she never loved John, then his death can be sad, but ultimately not cause any actual conflict for the neat and tidy 8 episode arc of her season. It gives the audience the chance to say "wow, so sad she lost her husband, who she was clearly friends with, but also it's not that sad because now she'll ACTUALLY fall in love for real this time."

From a plot perspective, without any novel attachment, it's actually pretty solid and hits the tropes I would expect a queer romance to hit if it needed to exist within the Bridgerton verse. Dare I say, it's frankly even rather cliché?

So again, I disagree with a lot of this but I’m still going to share it because whoever this is didn’t come from a place of hate.

1: I’ve read the interviews with Jess Brownell about deciding to change Francesca’s story because she herself identified with the “different” aspect being a queer woman. Setting aside all sexual/gender politics, that’s a key mistake a lot of writers make. When writing for a show like this it’s good to make it personal, but not self-service. To morph an entire storyline to fit what you took from the book, even if few others did, is a bad writing choice.

2: I do agree that the world has no idea what to with bisexuality. I see more hate for bisexuals than nearly any other subsection of the LGBTQ community. I do think, however, that the Bridgerton fanbase is a bit more accepting. I’ve seen a lot of issue be taken with Benedict’s storyline this season but not because he’s bi/pan, but because of the shoddy editing and writing for his scenes.

3: “Bodice ripping novels” gave me a good laugh 😂😂

4: The change of Francesca’s potential lack of romantic feelings for John is probably my biggest issue with the whole situation. It truly feels like an unnecessary change. Even in going forward with setting up Francesca and Michaela for happily ever after, they could have saved Francesca developing feelings until after John had passed. Enough book readers would have been talking online about who Michaela was and who she becomes to Francesca that people would have known. In my eyes, there truly was no reason to eliminate that part of the story.

🚢 (beth and shawn pls!)

shipping sheet.

BETH.

do i ship our characters together?: yes | no | not yet but maybe soon

would i like to ship with you?: yes | maybe, i'm willing to try | no

type of relationship i could see: childhood or high school sweethearts | exes | engaged | married | long-term relationship | crushes | unrequited love | fling | long distance | online relationship | just dating | new relationship | toxic lovers | friends with benefits

tropes i'd enjoy writing for them: friends to lovers | enemies to lovers | exes to lovers | fake relationship / dating | forbidden love | grumpy and sunshine | star-crossed lovers | surprise pregnancy | second chance | soulmates | amnesia / mistaken identity | forced proximity | secret relationship | slow burn relationship

would i rather plot first or jump right in and see where it goes?: develop their relationship first | jump right in | something in between ( i'm super into darylbeth and want his hands on her, but daryl is Terrible at admitting his feelings and will definitely take a lot of time to work up to it. THAT SAID, i'm more than happy to thread things set in the future where they're ~dating whilst also threading stuff where they're still in the platonic friendship stage. i'm not picky about doing stuff in chronological order! )

what now?: let's plot something | send me shippy memes | i'll send you shippy memes | write me a random starter | i'll write you a random starter

anything else i want you to know about me / my character / my shipping habits: fortunately you already know that i like to write daryl as a soft dom top w/ possessive-obsessive tendencies, so i don't think i need to warn for this if we do end up writing smut with these two, haha! i don't think he's the type to hold beth back in life, necessarily, but whenever she comes back home to him (or vice-versa) he'll have to claim her again, as one does... (although that said, i don't NEED smut, so please don't feel pressured to write it!)

i'm really open to ideas, both in main TWD-verse and in AUs. :] i italicised stuff like long distance and online relationships in case we wanna try doing that in a non-apoc AU or something-- fake dating and such, too, just because i feel like if beth put out an ad on the internet for a fake date or something to join her somewhere daryl would do it for a couple dollars... or maybe because merle tells him to do it. XD the only forbidden love thing i couldn't do would be daryl being a teacher in school w/ student beth just 'cause i don't think he'd be willing to do it, but stuff like princess/lowborn or supernatural monsters being involved in any way (i have a wolf shifter daryl AU! and am thinking about AUs with him as a vampire or a divine being) would be neat too. i'm not bothered by the age gap at all though, in general. heh.

he's a loyal dog and will love her endlessly, forever. 😔 in most worlds i don't think daryl could be a toxic boyfriend, especially because beth means so much to him and is so special in his heart he'd never wanna hurt her, but um. i left that italicised just in case we manage to finagle an AU somehow because i do like writing toxic boyfriends. bahaha!

SHAWN.

do i ship our characters together?: yes | no | not yet but maybe soon

would i like to ship with you?: yes | maybe, i'm willing to try | no

type of relationship i could see: childhood or high school sweethearts | exes | engaged | married | long-term relationship | crushes | unrequited love | fling | long distance | online relationship | just dating | new relationship | toxic lovers | friends with benefits

tropes i'd enjoy writing for them: friends to lovers | enemies to lovers | exes to lovers | fake relationship / dating | forbidden love | grumpy and sunshine | star-crossed lovers | surprise pregnancy | second chance | soulmates | amnesia / mistaken identity | forced proximity | secret relationship | slow burn relationship

would i rather plot first or jump right in and see where it goes?: develop their relationship first | jump right in | something in between ( same as outlined above-- daryl's so slow to figure out his romantic feelings, and then even slower to admit to them, so it'll be a while! if ever you wanna write stuff out of chronological order with these two, i'd be down. )

what now?: let's plot something | send me shippy memes | i'll send you shippy memes | write me a random starter | i'll write you a random starter

anything else i want you to know about me / my character / my shipping habits: so shawn is INTERESTING... with beth daryl's more likely to be soft, but shawn doesn't go through 4.12 still with daryl. which means he's more willing to go into physical-only-no-feelings-allowed arrangements if shawn needed that release somehow, and wouldn't need to be dating him to feel "ok" with it. shawn trusting him would be enough for daryl to jerk him off in the darkness of his tent or something equally dirty. LMAO. and the benefit of this happening maybe in the season 2 era would be that he gets the more immature version of daryl, who could be extra possessive...

daryl's incapable of things Staying physical-only, though, and will certainly fall in love if they were fucking with no strings attached just because that shit is intimate as hell. sorry he is like this. he's a hopeless romantic in his own way, and would definitely be the type to yearn for shawn one-sidedly. 🥹

i also don't know how old shawn is meant to be ngl, so i italicised childhood/high school sweetheart stuff 'cause if you wanna do AUs like that i'd certainly be open to it! (or make it so that daryl knew shawn from school even in their mainverse... or maybe they were friends before daryl's mother burned their house down and daryl had to move away and back then they only knew each other by first name? WHO KNOWS.)

anyway, u have blanket permission to have any AU daryl you want for shawn as well. he's cute...

[discotenny]

Im gonna be sick I saw this English translation of Get Busy and I’m sick!!!

Have some Get Busy thoughts as I write the next few fics.

To be clear!!! I have not looked at translations for the Block Party drama tracks so this is me working on all the info from before those came out.

Long analysis under cut

I think it’s made clear that both of them are referring to their own individual potential as people. The whole “get busy” and “push push buddy” parts referring to the fact that they both are moving forward and must keep moving forward to continue to develop to be the best versions of themselves.

But there’s a lot of talk about a second individual. With all the “our eyes cross each other” “if you run from this there’s no second chance” “connecting the dots together,” etc etc. I have a few ideas, one main idea but two others.

1) They’re referring to each other. If they show the interactions in the Block Party that leads to them performing this at the music festival it would make sense 🤔 Are these songs actually being performed in the music festival though ? Unsure LOL.

But the two have very similar personalities in terms of extrovertedness and excitement so it would make sense that they’re referring to each other in this song if you look at it like that.

2) They’re referring to the listener. Hypmic lyrics typically seem to be more about the characters rather than the messages they can put out to the readers (at least that’s what I can understand). But the introduction of this second person character could be Hypmic inviting the listener to take on the stance and outlook these two characters have in life.

Basically, it would be Jiro and Kuko telling the listeners they need to “get busy” and “push push buddy” if they want to live up to their fullest potential. They’re inviting the listeners to take that journey with them- and I think that’d be neat.

But, my main theory.

3) They’re referring to Ichiro. To be clear- I do NOT ship any of the BBs and this is not me trying to make up defenses. I am a Kuko and Ichi shipper so do with that what you will LOL.

In terms of Jiro- it’s clear his overall arc is about learning to be more independent from and to not idolize Ichiro so much. He’s really becoming his own person- developing a view of Ichi as someone who can and has done wrong, but still loving and caring for his brother all the same. He even stopped calling Ichi Ichinii because he stopped viewing him as one does a little kid.

I think this song symbolizes Jiro’s full independence from Ichiro. The whole “if you run from this there’s no second chance” could be him inviting Ichi to take the step with him, but won’t chase him out anymore if he doesn’t want to go with him. Showing that it’s not that he doesn’t care if Ichi is by his side, but he will continue to push forward in his own goals even without his brother’s support.

And my argument for Kuko? This whole damn verse LOL

“Somehow, it turned out this way” referring to the mind hacking event. It’s canon that he and Sasara don’t know what exactly they said to their partners.

“Being suggestive is OK” tbh I think this is just Kuko being Kuko. But if you want to read into it more it could be Kuko saying that Ichi doesn’t have to tell him exactly what happened if he doesn’t want to.

“My feelings are on wits end from mischief and passing time” There’s two ways I could see this- Kuko’s built up feelings of all his development from all the years he’s lived through or that the ‘passing time’ refers to his time in MCD. Both would work tbh

“Squeezing out each other,” if looking through the lens of this being about Ichiro- could refer to the fact that the two have sort of ‘moved on’ from the incident. They have people in their lives now that filled the void they once left in each other.

“Obviously… in time” again, referring to their reconciliation.

“Stepping together it hurts” could imply that there’s still leftover negative feelings between the two. Not bad blood per se , but maybe it’s guilt from kuko’s end about what he once did to Ichi. Or it’s fear that things might turn out the same way again 🤔

Overall- I do think both characters are referring to Ichiro in this song. But rather than the song being ABOUT Ichi- it’s about them moving on from their characters focal points being about him. Being their own people, acknowledging their connections, but not letting it define them.

Jiro- not going to idolize Ichi and is willing to walk forward even if he’s not by his side.

Kuko- accepting that they’re different people at the moment and continuing to walk, opening a hesitant hand if Ichiro wants to take it.

Intro Post I guess!

Hi! I'm Void. Any pronouns are fine (questioning and for privacy purposes, use whatever pronouns you like). I've been around for a while (since maybe 2015/16? But my interests have changed over time), finally caved and made an account. Over 18, don't want to give my exact age but college-aged.

Content on this blog will focus on the following:

-Mega Man (primarily Classic, X series, Archie Comics verse, and Fully Charged, maybe a little bit of Battle Network). #Mega Man tag will be used for everything, #Archie Mega Man for comics-specific posts, #MMX for X-series, #MMFC or #Mega Man Fully Charged for Fully Charged. Will try to use #MM Classic for anyone who wants to filter for only those posts, but might miss something.

-Other robot games! Currently really into Robopon. Also: Bomberman, Vectorman, and various indie or more obscure games that might pop up on occasion (Hookbots, Blade Ballet, ). Will be tagged with the title and relevant character tags.

-Arthropods! If you have a bug/spider phobia, probably best to avoid my blog unless you're, like, really invested in the other topics, as I might slip up occasionally with tagging. Will try to tag bug/arthropod content with #insects, #spider (for content involving spiders or spider-looking things like ricinulei), a general #arthropods tag if you don't like any of them, and more specific tags on request (send me an ask!). Pokemon posts that fit these criteria will be tagged #Bug Pokemon to keep them out of the main tags.

-Cephalopods will be tagged #octopus, #squid, etc.

-Maybe some snakes, amphibians. Will be tagged #snakes, #amphibians, or #frog.

**If characters that don't immediately appear to need a content tag due to being anthro and cartoony (ex: Snake Man, Animal Crossing frog villagers) are triggering to you, please let me know!!** Horror-themed art/etc. (for instance, a picture of Snake Man surrounded by a large amount of snakes) will still be tagged with the relevant tags regardless.

-Transformers? Got back into multiple continuities this past year. Not sure if I count as part of the fandom or how much I'll be posting about them, I just think they're neat.

-Miitopia. Will post access code later on, all miis that aren't personal or unfinished should be downloadable.

Less frequent stuff that will probably show up: Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, Yo-Kai Watch, Kirby, etc., TTRPG stuff. Might make a sideblog for writing/homebrew at some point.

This blog should be mostly sfw, but will probably occasionally include content tagged #robo gore/#robot gore, #horror, #eyestrain, etc., as well as ship art (safe for work.. but probably embarrassing to be caught looking at).

I do some art, trying to improve, but I'm allergic to finishing anything (and my sketch layer is in hot pink) so I'm not sure how much I'll post.

I think that covers everything!

HONEYMOON MATCHUP WITH : HOBIE BROWN

— honeymoon :

– hobie thinks it's a little funny, honestly, how things turned out with you — the two of you are almost polar opposites, but you know what they say ; opposites attract, and you were his missing puzzle piece — hobie didn't like labels, but there was no denying that he certainly had a thing for you, and you couldn't deny that you liked him either, so you settled in middle ground.

– hobie would come to your place every night — that's how it started, you'd watch a movie or two and once the clock strikes midnight, you find yourself laying in bed with him, huddled up in his arms with your head resting on his chest and his face buried in your hair, the two of you talk about alot of stuff, jumping from one topic to another about completely unrelated things — he likes listening to you talk, likes the sound of your voice and how it immediately soothes him into a good mood — but once the clock nears five am, and you start mumbling and tripping on your words and your eyelids become heavy, he places a soft kiss on your lips, telling you it's time for bed before holding you close and the two of you eventually fall asleep.

– hobie has a knack to convincing you to do things you wouldn't usually do, like going out with him at three am on a supposed 'date' where he takes you to one of the city's highest rooftops with a couple of snacks and the radio playing your favourite songs, he likes to draw and often brings his sketchbook to those dates, so the two of you doodle on the pages, slapping stickers on them and creating a perpetual memory, and he thinks — actually, believes, that no matter what, he'd never forget you, and he has reached a conclusion that maybe, just maybe, he may be in love with you.

— what's on the radio : moonlight, kali uchis

a/n : hello??? kirishimas-manly-eyeliner ?? 😭😭 i used to follow you, i loved your blog sm and you were legit one of my inspirations to write 😭😭 i didn't know you were aware of my blog holy shit, i love you so much 😭 thank you for the request and your ask was so much fun to read like shejwkwk, you're such a nice person help 😭 thank you sm for the request again, ily — also atsv was so good, i cried alot during the moving so you aren't alone, and i loved hobie's animation ! i loved the way they colored him and how he looked like he was out of a panel and the way he changed colors (??) it was so good, he's one of my faves pls 😭 i hope this did you justice and that you like it ! once again thank you sm for the request <33

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-verse

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers & Justin K. Thompson

9/10 Miles Morales returns as Spider-Man from an alternate dimension but this is much more than his story this time around. The overall premise of this story is that there are cannon events in every Spider-Man life that must happen - if they don't then the multi-verse can be destroyed. In order to illustrate this the story starts with Gwen. The opening is extremely well written and we get here entire back story in a few minutes. She is quickly unmasked in her world and her dad goes to arrest her. This whole situation is devastating.

Something I absolutely love about this film is the way they change the animation to show the movement between universes. Such a neat and easy visual clue that we have moved.

The washed out water colours of Gwen's world contrasted with the haphazard almost scribbled backgrounds of Pavitr's is great. By starting the story with Gwen it allows the writers to portray Miles as a jerk in the opening of the film - which they do with aplomb The desires of the individual characters are contrasted with the overall premise to save the spider-verse by removing anomalies and ensuring cannon events occur is interesting. We get to see both views of this contrast through Miles and Gwen. Miles sees it from the outside as he and we are inculcated into the spider-verse. We also see it from Gwen's perspective as someone who has already gone through this.

We are shown things that give good examples that if anomalies are allowed to occur and cannon events are interrupted it can wipe out entire worlds.

Given all of this Miles is still keen to fight against what he sees is wrong. Gwen is torn between what she sees as the right thing to do - save the worlds - and what she individually wants - Miles and a return to her world and a relationship with her father. Because of the way these things are portreyed to us we end up on Miles' side. This is very strange because logically we are supporting the destruction of the spider-verse. I really enjoyed the villain - spot - learning his powers throughout the film. This was very funny to watch. Miles' mum's speech to him about going out into the world to do what he wants is amazing - just stellar writing. Every aspect of India-Spiderman (Pavitr) is brilliant. The chai-tea bit links brilliantly to Miles ATM bit from the start.

They do some great references to the comics with little boxes of descriptions etc coming up on the screen - the film opens with an animated 'Cough' on the black screen before the titles.

The boxes allow them to introduce a brit punk rock Spider-Man that speaks in his local lingo and we get translations through the boxes - also just a great character in general. We learn that the whole reason that all these anomalies are happening is because of Miles - the spider that bit him is from another earth so he is an anomaly. The film ends with a rebellion group of the spider-men who join together to fight the main group of spider-men who are protecting the spider-verse from destruction. I have a problem with how this all came together. The punk rock spider-man is stealling stuff constantly from the spider-man HQ and he builds all there own portal devices. But he destroys his original one when he quits. My question is why? All the others do need him to make one for them because they no longer have one.

Miles ends up in the wrong dimension because he is sent back to where the spider that bit him came from. And in this dimension he has become the ripper from the first film.

Big BOOOO to the ending finishing on a cliff hanger. So this film has some serious issues with the narrative structure because the climax doesn't answer the central question - obviously because this is part one of the story. The film still manages to score 9 out of 10 for me because of how brilliant the rest of the pieces are. Read the full article

Stop what you're doing and go to the book launch

2024 Oct 10 – Bar Loose, Helsinki

Honestly, this was better than them having a thing at book fair (best fair), because more of the band can show up and the extremely short notice meant that the audience would be a manageable size.

The only fans who queued outside before they let us in to the bar were people like me, Tall Blonde (whose arm was in a cast), Regular Groupie (coming in from whatever part of the country she actually lives in — the real "stop what you're doing" groupie energy), and the wheelchair-bound woman (and her husband) who's always at the accessible gigs here. People gradually showed up as they got off from work.

Appropriately the bar had the (presumably) Spotify playlist with their songs on, and I was trying really hard not to sing along too dramatically...yet ;) Drinks were happy hour prices too. Senpai allowed himself a couple of beers, maybe because this is more of a speaking engagement even though they were to perform a few songs.

Insert usual book talk content

The book is in fact also a ribbon campaign product (despite no pink), hence releasing on the same day their participation was announced. This just means that 1€ goes to charity for each copy sold except the preorders...

Teemu is wearing The Pendant with another ring on the cord.

One thing the author found remarkable (and possibly quite unique) about the band is really just how incredibly wholesome they are, and not just how they're always in neat, tailored outfits. We usually associate rock bands with personality clashes, drama, on-stage fights, and other petty behavior — in whose story this band completely lacks, despite how large and diverse the ensemble is. They all get along and nobody resents being there, and they have democratic principles and expectations of conduct that they are committed to.

I mean just look how much fun they're genuinely having, especially the fellas without their instruments. (Couldn't resist singing a tiny bit.)

The song is kind of forever associated with that time I went to Köyliö and had cried to it traveling to Turku and back and eating too much Hesburger.

Then they played Onnellinen mies which I didn't film because they always invite everybody to sing along and I do.

Naturally people wanted another song. "We could play what we always play? We already played it downstairs [for warmup] but we could play it again." (So that's the secret, if you don't hear it in a set, which is only when they don't have a lot of time, they will have played it amongst themselves.)

I only filmed from the second verse onwards because I noticed they were doing something really nice with the harmonies in the chorus and I… kind of want to steal it?? Maybe it's my pianist bias but it just isn't quite the same without the piano part.

(nooo he threw me off by not taking the full 8 beats before the last line)

For the rest of the evening they let people have books (and stuff) signed. I had brought my copy so I could ask Senpai to write a message in it. It's not quite as personalized as it was last time but that's okay. I told the author that he didn't need to translate his note for me (I know enough Savonians), but he gave it his best shot anyway 😅

Merch Table Guy (who'd proofread the manuscript) had this demo CD (and some stickers) from Senpai's previous band. He also has albums from other band members' other/previous projects. I think he must either have been a fan from the very start or just enjoys tracking down this sort of thing on Discogs, or both.

But yeah! That's what he looked like in his pre-beard (pre-singer) incarnation 😂

I let the autograph table have a look at the miniature of myself with the book. ("Painting these figures is kind of my main hobby right now, my other important hobby is skipping choir practice to see you guys." —no really this has happened too much.)

The Spotify playlist had resumed and the bands playing later in the evening in the club downstairs had started setting up. Minne sinä meet came on and I'd had a couple of drinks so I gave it my 100% voice. (But not within earshot of the band. Should I have?) You, dear reader, know how much the song means to me, but nobody in the room knows that.

But a couple more words before I go

— You know, I've been having a rough week, and I really... — I hope this helped a bit? — It's exactly what I needed.

Severus Snape

"How far can you go down the wrong path before you can’t get back on the right one?" ~ Carolee Dean, Take Me There ~

Basic Information

FACE/BODY CLAIM: Adrien Brody

AGE: That depends 100% on the timeline you want him in

EYES: Black

HAIR: Black

HEIGHT: 6'1

PRIMARY OUTFIT: Severus doesn't really care much about his appearance regardless of the timeline. The only caveat to this rule is his Professor robes. Those are always neat and pristine.

His personal wardrobe (especially once he could afford to buy his own clothes) is worn, but well-cared for. Basically , he doesn't believe in waste. He has exactly the amount of clothes he feels are necessary, and wears them until they wear out to the point of irreparability.

His wardrobe consist of dark colors and long sleeves (to hide old scars... and other things.) Everything he wears is simple in make and design - no patterns or frills- just solid colors. He prefers to not stand out whenever possible.

Personality

The personality you get when dealing with Severus will rely heavily on who your muse is and what point in time we're writing in. He is, after all, many different things to many different people at different points in his life. In general, Severus is a quiet individual, who's mastered the art of observing while remaining invisible. He's spent his whole life 'getting used to disappointment' and it shows in his reactions to people and to the world at large. There's a lot of anger pent up inside of him. He tries to keep it in check - to not be like his father - but he's not always successful.

Powers & Weaknesses

Severus is an incredibly powerful wizard. In addition to being HIGHLY skilled at potions, he is an unsurpassed Occlumens AND Legilimens. He also excels at wandless magic, and can cast (and expertly control) a fully-formed Patronus. From a young age, he's also had the ability to create spells 'on the fly,' so to speak, using his knowledge of spellwork and Latin to summon spells only he knows how to do.

As for weaknesses... none when it comes to his magic. However, his personality leaves a lot to be desired. He allows bitterness, jealousy, and anger to rule many of his actions, and can be very self-serving when the mood strikes. I would say his biggest weakness is being unable to see the good in others. It's almost like he's afraid to. The only person he ever saw any good in was taken from him, and he never wants to get attached like that again.

Romance

It can happen. But even with people he knows it MUST build over time. The only obvious exception to this rule is Lily. He loves her. Always has, always will. With others he needs to trust... and then to care. Those aren't easy things for him, but that CAN happen, given enough time and patience (...and maybe an angsty scene where he thinks the person is dead, for example. ;D)

Where to Find Him

This will depend on the timeline you want to write in. Let me know what you're thinking, and I'm happy to give a few ideas about the best place your muse can meet him. ^_^

Verses

Just because a verse isn't listed here doesn't mean I'm not interested in writing it. I adore all kinds of AUs, and welcome the chance to get creative with my muses. If you've seen a verse that another of my muses has, and you'd like to see this muse in something similar, let me know. You can also check out my 'Plot Ideas' tag, too. ^_^

Main Verse:

Severus Snape is a canon character from the Harry Potter universe. A lot of what you’ll find here is canon to the books. This canon universe is my default when writing starters, etc. unless you ask me for something AU. The timeline I choose will likely depend on who your muse is. However, I'd much prefer we discuss it beforehand, so we're both on the same page. Thanks! :)

Current/Ongoing Threads

If your thread with Severus isn't listed here it's probably because it's been long enough since your last reply that I thought you'd dropped it. Message me to let me know you're still interested, and I'll happily add you to the list (with no pressure for a reply.) ♡

None at the Moment

Your Thread Here!

Stuff That's Good to Know Before Starting a Thread

I ask that you please keep in mind that there is only so much about Severus that’s actually canon - the rest is much more about perception. And if my perception differs from yours, telling me (while it might spark an interesting discussion) probably isn’t going to make any difference in how I choose to roleplay him.

I have watched the movies and read the books more than once (except for Deathly Hallows - that one is too hard for me to get through emotionally.) However, please know that I do not have a photographic memory, so if I make a mistake with something don’t be afraid to tell me. As long as you’re not rude about it, I promise to hear you out. ^_^

Hey look, the final bit of the canon-compliant “Cloud is the remnants carrier” verse I can do before Part 2 of the remake comes out. 

I definitively will be writing more of this verse generally but nothing confirmed tied to the main storyline of it until we know more what the canon is doing. 

(Also, yes, Rufus is an alpha in the main storyline, unlike what he is when I’m playing around with Advent Children timeline stuff)

“How are you settling in Mister President?” Tseng knows how good it makes Rufus feel to hear that. How long he’s been waiting for this moment. Likely the reason the Turk keeps addressing him by it even after it is no longer needed in the conversation.

“Well enough.” The President’s office still looks like his father’s and Rufus has only just started reading through the documents he previously was not allowed access to. Both situations are being resolved in short order. “You have something to report?”

“Yes,” Tseng says with a neat, respectful head-dip. He respects Rufus’ authority implicitly. Unlike the other Department Heads that still need convincing. “About the SOLIDER that was with Avalanche.”

“Let me guess – he wasn’t a SOLDIER.” Rufus had suspected as much as soon as he picked up the omega’s scent. Shinra would never have let an omega become SOLDIER. Certainly not one so attractive.  

“Yes, Mister President,” Tseng says. “There is no records of an omega ever being made a SOLDIER.”

“So where did he gain the Mako from?” The omega had a SOLDIER’s eyes and a SOLDIER’s strength despite his more delicate form. Where would they have come from if not SOLDIER?

It would be dangerous if another group had discovered how to replicate the process.

“We are still investigating,” Tseng says. “However, there is another fact in relation to it you should be aware of.”

“And that is?”

“Children, Mister President, three of them. They were with the Ancient when I collected her. All with silver hair.”

Sephiroth’s than. Which could explain the Mako of the omega. It would certainly make things interesting if it was transferable in those means.

“How old?” Rufus certainly wouldn’t question the General’s taste if he had found an attraction in that omega. With people involved though one must be sure.

“Six months at most,” Tseng says.

And Sephiroth had been dead for years. Hojo had cracked quite the tantrum about it and the Shinra Company had had to pay out a fair bit to cover it all up.

It looks like they will have to review the reports of what happened in the aftermath of the events at Nibelheim closely. And the circumstances surrounding Zack Fair’s death – an item already on the agenda.

“Does anyone else know about them?”

“No, Mister President. Just me as far as I am aware.” Tseng knows as well as Rufus the possible implications of it. And the possible repercussions should it become public. And his Turk had waited for Rufus to make the call of how best it should be managed.

“Good. Keep it that way.” It is always best to keep cards like that close to one’s chest. And they needed to know a lot more before it would be wise to act.

Sephiroth himself might even be alive. Although it is more likely that Hojo is responsible for the children’s existence – how frustrated he must be to have lost them and the omega.

Rufus can’t help but laugh at the situation.

“What’s funny Mister President?”

“I knew that omega would be interesting.” For something so pretty to end up with Avalanche he had to be.

Rufus certainly looks forward to their next meeting.

Hypothetically Rewriting Assault’s Story + Some General Assault Opinions

There’s a game my husband and I like to play when we watch a movie, play a game, or read a book that has a story that we don’t really enjoy or we enjoy certain parts of but not others.  We look at things we’d keep and things we’d change and we build a story from there-- sort of like an AU but we don’t really go into the writing part, we just stick to theorizing and mapping a general story.

I decided to play that game with Star Fox.  Not because I think Star Fox has a bad story but because sometimes I think the stories could have been handled better.  Note: for the rewrite game, I only really look at story, even for video games, I don’t really look at gameplay mechanics, but I do understand those have a lot to do with story potential so I do take it in as a factor... I just don’t bother to “rewrite” the mechanics, if that makes any sense at all.  Some of my list today will include boss encounters but I wouldn’t necessarily say those are mechanic-related... more like “event-related”.

I’ve mused a bit in the past about rewriting Adventures and Command and I do have plans to do a mock up of an Adventures remake eventually.  However, today I was thinking about how I would go about handling an Assault re-write in particular.  Much like Command and Adventures, I don’t have any beef with the core story but I do think there’s a few things that could’ve been better about Assault’s storyline-- like they had good ideas rolling but they didn’t quite refine them.

Under the cut because SUPER long.

My basic feelings on Assault are pretty positive.  I think the game is generally just fun and I like that it feels like the natural progression from SF64.  I liked getting to see planets we haven’t seen since the N64 era in better graphics and I liked seeing Star Wolf return.  I also just thought the aparoids were neat enemies. 

Generally speaking, though, when it comes to Assault, I think it suffers from the thing it tries to push the most-- the story.  I think a lot of people get caught up in thinking the story is better than it is because it’s the first game since SF64 that really follows the same Star Fox vibe without retelling the Lylat Wars.  Don’t get me wrong, the overall plot is great but the execution and pacing are... wonky.  Certain characterizations also take a hit in some regards but no one really talks about that when Command exists. That’s something we’ll talk about later on with this post.

That being said, Assault really does have a lot good going for it.  An absolute banger of a soundtrack, some great dialogue, a neat story synopsis, the introduction of cool characters like Panther and Beltino (who existed but was always off-screen), and just good levels.  

So, here’s what I would add, I suppose, if I were to somehow have the ability to rewrite Assault.  Originally I had this in paragraph form, but I’ve made it into more of a list under topic segments with main points bolded for your viewing pleasure.  Some of these points might be considered nitpicky and while I do understand that yes, this is a game about space animals, I do hold the developers in high enough regard to make a game with a continuity that makes sense.

The Story Changes

- Reduce Pigma’s storyline in Assault.  This is the biggest one for me because a bulk of the plotline feels like a giant chase to just get at Pigma and it feels like it derails from the actual plot with the aparoids.  We only go to Sargasso because of Pigma.  We only go to Fichina and then back to Meteo again, because of Pigma.  That’s 3 levels in a 10 level game devoted to just tracking down Pigma and chasing him.  While it makes the build up to fighting Pigma kind of nice, I personally feel like the plot could be reduced to 2 levels.  If Assault overall was a longer game, I could see them making it 3 levels.  Overall, though, in its current state, I feel like the side plot overstays its welcome and the aparoids promptly get shoved to the side in favor of “Oh no, we gotta get to Pigma!” And I get the main motive here is to show how the aparoids affect people and because of the build up, it does a good job at showing how utterly terrifying the aparoids are.  But it’s still too long given the length of Assault’s story. The only alternative to this is make Assault longer, which... honestly, it should be.  

- Revise the scene with Tricky.  I’m obviously not well-versed in dinosaur biology but I’m pretty sure dinos didn’t grow that fast from what studying I HAVE done.  And why is he suddenly king now?  Did his parents die?  He seems not affected by this at all?  Like it’s a funny scene with him, Fox, and Krystal, but it’s odd if you really look at it.  Give us, as players, more context because I’m still not even sure what happened to make Tricky suddenly the leader and... big.  As a note, you’re gonna hear me gripe a lot about the Sauria level in this post.

- The Star Wolf + Peppy sacrifice is a low effort way to raise tension/stakes and then cop out.  Oldest trick in the book, imo, is to act like you’re going to kill off important characters only for them to be alive miraculously.  And let’s face it, as an audience we all know they aren’t going to kill those characters because it’s Nintendo and those characters are too beloved.  I would’ve forgiven them for only doing this with Peppy or Star Wolf, but when you tack them both together and throw in the fact they make it seem like you’re going to have to kill General Pepper too... yeah, it’s just a bit much of the same trope over and over again.  I wanted to put a note in here about how I’m fine with the Great Fox being “sacrificed” but overall, it needed to return to the series because of it’s icon status, but I think that’s more of a gripe at Command instead of Assault.

- Keep Pigma alive.  This will conflict with a point I have later on about the game consistently having characters cheat death for easy drama points but with Pigma, I would’ve kept him fully alive... but maybe with some physical damage from the aparoids.  I understand he’s semi-alive in Command and tbh I don’t know where I stand on that.  Why keep Pigma alive, you might ask?  I feel like his character has a lot more potential than being “just the greedy guy”.  Like he’s got good potential future villain material for future games and... if I’m honest?  I just don’t see Nintendo wanting to keep Pigma dead so why even bother killing him off?  They couldn’t even commit to him being dead in Command anyways so it seems very moot.

- Bring Bill and Katt back.  Assault is acts a bit like a big reunion of all of our SF64 favorites but our two favorite side characters are suspiciously missing.  Wouldn’t Bill be out on the front lines fighting against Andrew in the beginning?  Or maybe back in Katina?  And wouldn’t Katt inevitably show up in the midst of the invasion, maybe to pointedly check in on Falco?

- Bring Andrew back for the final fight. I think Andrew being defeated early into the game is fine overall but I think bringing him back in for a reunion final fight against the aparoids would serve to really solidify that it’s really everyone vs the invading aparoid force.  It would show that not only is Star Wolf willing to put aside their differences but so is basically everyone in the Lylat System in the name of survival.  Imagine the Venomians and Cornerians working together against an aparoid fleet, giving Star Fox and Star Wolf time to attack the queen?  I just think it’d be neat and it’d open up the potential for some fun banter mid-mission.  I do understand that quite a few people consider Andrew canonically dead after Assault but personally, I feel that his defeat left his fate questionable (I’m a staunch believer that unless there’s a body, they’re probably alive, especially for Nintendo games because, again, they never like to kill people off) so him returning in Command never really bothered me.  

- In general, reconsider some of the character portrayals.  Unfortunately, when a series has a different studio for each game, character portrayals will inevitably have inconsistencies.  While I give Namco a lot of credit for putting in oodles and oodles of detail into the game (particularly the levels), I think they failed in their portrayal of Fox, at the least, and Wolf is a considerable offender as well.  While it’s obvious that Fox in Adventures was effectively modeled off of Sabre even in terms of personality, Rareware was at least able to justify Fox’s newfound jaded attitude with the passing of many years and a distinct lack of steady income, resulting in the team being in disarray.  Assault’s Fox is a stark contrast to his cynical interpretation with seemingly no explanation other than maybe “Oh, I have more money and a gf, maybe I should behave myself”.  As if the sudden change in personality wasn’t random, Fox also just seems very blah, like a blank slate stereotypical shooter game protagonist dude with little to no emotion.  Wolf is less obvious but gets slated into a mentor-like role midway through the game and ends up in a respectful rivalry with Fox... which there’s nothing inherently wrong with that except for it happening abruptly (and, I mean, Peppy is right there).  But I take less issue with this and more of an issue with the fact that there’s an entire level establishing that Wolf now runs a crime den with effectively what seems to be an army and no one bats an eye at this.  He doesn’t even call on them to help with the aparoids.  Did they all die when the aparoids attacked Meteo?  Are they safe somewhere else?  Where do they go?  How was Sargasso able to operate without the CDF being on their doorstep with warrants for arrests?

- Don’t kill all the dinosaurs.  A bit of a dramatic statement but the ending screen that showed all the damage to Sauria really bothered me.  While I understand that the dinosaurs had less of a chance against the aparoids than a more technology-focused society like Corneria, I was a bit disappointed that the decision was made to just state that a lot of tribes had been wiped out.  I know this could easily be retconned in a future game and I feel like it should be.  “But why, Amalia?  Why are you disappointed by that?”  1) It’s a little too grimdark for my tastes.  2) The fact it all happened off-screen felt very hand-wavy.  And 3) It brings into question the entire point of Adventures.  Why did we bother to save this planet if it was going to be reduced to rubble and ash 1 year later?  Where were the Krazoa in all of this?  Why did they not make an appearance at all to try to stop the invasion with their alleged powers?  It just raises too many weird questions and I feel like Namco didn’t think it through too much.  Which I mean, sure.  Family, kiddo game.  I’m not asking for bigbrain plot and lore but I’m squinting at this bit because it does feel very contrary to the lore from the previous game.

- Make the aparoids more relevant.  As nice as it is to have a random bad guy from another galaxy, I feel like there was more that could be done with the aparoids in terms of their origins.  Tiny things, mind you, not huge revelations.  Off the top of my head, they could have been tied into Krystal’s backstory to help alleviate some of the complaints that she was too random to be added to the series’ main cast.  Alternatively, they could have been a product of Andross or even a weapon prototype from Corneria that fled the lab (I actually thought the game was leaning in that direction for a bit then just Nothing Happened).  I get that the vagueness of their origins leaves room for people to speculate and speculation is nice but... when you leave too many things unknown, it starts to feel less like giving fans room to interpret and more like just doing random things for the sake of it.  I think a lore tidbit here or there would work wonders for the aparoids instead of leaving them as just borg/zerg clones.

Level-Based Changes

- Add either Aparoid RedEye or Aparoid General Scales as a boss to Sauria.  Given that this level mysteriously lacks a boss, which is just weird compared to the other levels, I think that they had the opportunity to add something cool to go along with the cinematic feel they were going for with Assault.  Assault’s cutscenes do play in a movie-like fashion and it’s clear they’re trying to make the game as epic as possible.  It’s a shame they had so much fodder for a great boss here but they failed to go through with it.  Alternatively: Add a Krazoa-Aparoid fusion.  Why?  Because Star Fox is about cool epic sci-fi and that would be cool epic sci-fi incarnate.

- Add a boss to the Aparoid Homeworld Level, aka the penultimate level.  Another one I felt was personally weird that there was no “final defense system” to challenge the team.  Would be cool to do an aerial battle over the aparoid planet with some giant flying aparoid.

- Be kinder to Sauria.  The level had some good homages but overall was incredibly small and incredibly short.  It felt like a bone tossed to Adventures fans but was not entirely true to the setting built by Rareware.  I’m... not even sure where the Sauria level is supposed to take place?  I presume it’s Walled City but it doesn’t really have the same color scheme or aesthetic?  Also where is my revised Adventures music?  Why do all the other levels get it but Sauria doesn’t? 

- Put some of those funky items from the multiplayer into the main campaign.  I don’t know why some of these things, items especially, were omitted unless it was purely due to time constraints.  I remember having missile launchers and jetpacks in the multiplayer and was a bit sad that they were not in the main campaign.  Retuning the levels and adding those in would be a nice breath of fresh air for the more tedious on-foot missions.

- More levels.  Self-explanatory.  Still sad we didn’t get the Zoness or Titania levels in the single-player mode.  

I think all of the above changes would improve the game, though I recognize all of this is being said 16 years later after lots of time to contemplate Assault’s weaker points.  I’m not entirely certain how long Star Fox Assault took to develop but given that there’s obviously quite a bit scrapped from the game (an entire arcade mode was scrapped as well), I’m going to assume that the studio felt pressured to shove the game out the door and into the hands of customers.  It’s a shame, really, because I think a little bit longer in the oven would have done a lot of good.  Still, the product we got was good in its own right and a game that many people look back on fondly.  I haven’t gotten to replay it in years but I hope to quite soon.

You might wonder why I bothered typing this all out and I guess my point was this-- Assault was great but it wasn’t perfect, and while a lot of other games fall under a crushing amount of scrutiny, Assault seems to dodge it.  And don’t get me wrong-- I adore Assault.  But given that not many takes exist out there about rewriting it, I decided to give it a shot.  For variety’s sake.  

I do want to a mock up of a revised Assault story, which I think I will get to work on after completing this while all my ideas are still fresh in mind.  So stay tuned for that sometime in the near future.  I will also be doing my Adventures mock up at some point but probably not for a little bit as I do wanna focus some of my free time on actual fic-writing.

Anyways, if you stuck around this long, thank you for reading!  Have any changes you’d like to see to Assault if you could time machine your way back to the early 2000s?  Feel free to post in the comments, I’d love to read your ideas!

                                _______________________

“I’m just moving forward, no matter what happens behind me,

Even with the tears running down my cheeks I, I, I am a survivor.” You finish recording the demo as the girl group looks at you with curious wide eyes. You weren’t just singing, you were crying. The leader of your girl group, Nadi, made sure to give you a tight squeeze before patting you on the back and sending you out. It was official, you were the biggest loser of an artist the company had produced.

You’ve been crying a lot lately, and everyone knows it’s because of your idol boyfriend. Because of certain obligations, you had to come clean about your relationship to Yoongi, so that your company could take measures to help you come up with a cover story. You weren’t in a good place with him at the moment, since you hadn’t texted each other in a little over a month and you expected him to text you first.

Your company had declared you their new solo artist and you just had to work on a collaboration with BTS. This one wouldn’t feature a rapper though, you were to record vocals with Jungkook and they wanted you both there to get a sense of your sounds together. Old fashioned producers prefer it that way. 

You know you’ll have to meet Yoongi, Namjoon, or Hoseok but most likely Yoongi since he was on the list of producers for the song. You already released your first album and you were planning on dropping two singles. The first one would be the finished version of “Survivor,” the song which you just recorded a demo for, and the second one will be the song you’re working on with Jungkook.

“There you are! The girls told me you were crying? Come on honey, look over the lyrics for your new song. Jungkook himself wrote it after sitting down for five minutes. This boy has a knack for writing about feelings.” Confused, you take the sheet of lyrics from her hand and you see them handwritten in cursive english. You could tell the song was meant to be sung in Korean but for whatever reason, Jungkook decided to translate them to English.

“If there’s a love that must be true,

That would be the love I have for you.

No matter what may pull us apart,

In the end you have my heart.

P.S I hope this collab makes you feel better, I know you’ve been hurting just as bad as my brother has been.” You sigh at the note, smiling and feeling my spirits lifted higher after reading Jungkook’s neat handwriting. You thought it was sweet that he still believed in old pen and paper as his main form of communication. Obviously, he has a phone and he could’ve texted you, but he opted for the letter.

You open up your phone and send him a picture of the paper. A few minutes later he replies back, and you talk more about the collab. Then you stop talking after he tells you he has to practice. It has been a while since you sat down and talked about your life with anyone. Normally you stay away from talking about work when it comes to Yoongi, but it’s so natural with Jungkook.

You decide to sit down and start writing. “Dear Jungkook,” You start.

Your POV

The day for our first collaborative project has arrived. After sending each other letters back and forth for the past month or so, me and Jungkook were joined at the hip. So much so that Jimin pulled me aside to tell me off about my closeness with Jungkook and how it was like I was forgetting about Yoongi.

“How is it any of your business, Jimin? Me and Jungkook are friends. If Yoongi thinks there’s something more, that’s his problem. Did you know that I was heartbroken after he decided not to text me after telling me he needed a break? We haven’t even talked to each other since then. Things aren’t the same between us. I didn’t realize how much I had in common with Jungkook until after that happened. So in a way, I’m glad that me and Yoongi are no more,” As soon as I say those words, Yoongi steps out of the shadows. “Gah! Where did you come from?”

“I was having my coffee in the other room. I heard about what you said. It sounds like you and Jungkook really hit it off. I’m happy for you, really,” He sets down his mug on a coaster nearby. “So that’s why I wanted to tell you that we should break up.” I feel a pang of sadness inside but it’s nothing compared to the immense longing in my heart I have for Jungkook. The positive feelings took over the negative ones, and for the environment and mood in the studio to be good, I needed to concentrate on that.

“Okay. I agree with you. Shall we start?” I ask him as an artist would to a producer, and he nods, sitting down with a blank look on his face. This time, it really does look blank. I can’t read him as well as I used to, I suppose.

Me and Jungkook ended up spending four hours together, and after a lot of time holed up in the studio, we were a lot closer than before. Enough for him to kiss me during our 30 minute break. I returned the kiss gingerly, savoring the taste of his strawberry lip balm. This boy smells and tastes good.

“Will you please go on a date with me?” He asks after recovering from the long-winded kiss.

“Yes.” I smile in response, happy to jump back into recording with Jungkook. We even filmed a Bangtan Bomb, and it was so obvious that there was a spark between us. But the closer I got to Jungkook, the more gloomier Yoongi got. 

“And it’s time for Yoongi to hop in the booth with you. It’s the rap verse.”  I check the paper quickly, noticing that Jungkook hadn’t written a prior note about Yoongi.

“There’s a rap verse?” I ask in disbelief.

“Yeah, I added it after hearing you guys together. It didn’t sound like enough…” He dissed my singing skills right in front of me! We sit through two grueling hours of that before we’re dismissed for the day.

I grab Yoongi’s collar and I drag him towards the janitor’s closet. “How romantic. Isn’t it sweet that we have candles already here to set the mood?” I raise an eyebrow, pinning him against the wall.

“Shut up. I just wanted to be happy and I was starting to really like Jungkook. Why do you always have to ruin everything?” Seeing his blank expression soften, my heart started to race. What’s wrong with me now?

“Your lips say one thing, but your eyes say another,” He shushes me as he suddenly has me pinned to the wall, reversing our predicament so that I was in his trap again. “Maybe we should see what your body says.” Before he puts a hand on me, I stop him.

“Yoongi…” He stops midway, making sure he has my full consent before proceeding. “...Kiss me.”

We start off slow, with kisses so fiery they could melt my heart into a puddle. Yet my heart was encased again, as my body was telling me to act on impulse. The lust takes over each of us, pushing us into the wall-literally, as Yoongi’s tongue slipped into my mouth and I parted my lips so that he didn’t have to force his way in. Our tongues danced together as our lips collided in a sad, forbidden way, and we pulled apart for air after the anticipation had died down.

“You didn’t think we were stopping just there, did you?” I feel his hand circle my thigh and I warm heat shoots up my core. 

“I don’t know. Depends on what you want.” He lets his hands linger for a bit, groping me in ways that should make me feel dirty but instead I feel excited. The thrill of the moment makes me feel good.

We kiss again as he pulls off his shirt and I lose my own, our bodies filled with lust for only each other again. I haven’t felt this way about anyone in a long time.

“Shit, I’m hard. You feel that? You make me so hard, princess.” I roll my eyes at the cliche line.

“Don’t call me “princess.” I ain’t royalty. Call me by my name, kitty cat.” I allude to his nicknames from the fanbase, mostly cat-based since he resembles a cat with how tired he is whenever a camera is in his face. Little do they know that behind the scenes, Yoongi is a hard worker and that is why he is tired all the time. He barely had time for me when I was his girlfriend.

“Don’t call me kitty cat. It’s bad enough I gotta deal with crazies on a daily basis who baby me and call me lil meow meow.” I suck in a deep breath when he drops to his knees, his fingers hooking on the sides of my panties before he pulls them down. I shudder at the feeling of the cool air hitting my sensitive region at first, and I practically melt when Yoongi puts his lips on me.

I groan and buck my hips as he savors my juices, making me climax with just his lips and tongue. He smirks, burying his head further between my legs as I smother him with my clit, stroking his smooth tufts of grey locks as he kisses me to my orgasm.

“Yoongi, Oh it feels too good. Fuck yes.” I moan as he drives me over the edge, slapping my clit with his fingers before lapping up my juices. 

“That felt good, didn’t it sweetheart?” I nod, unable to speak as the aftershocks of my orgasm leave me unable to stand straight for a minute. He helps me up, lifting me to my feet since my legs forgot how to function from the crazy orgasm that Yoongi administered. “Well you’re in for a treat. Don’t worry, I’ll do all the work. Now, sit back and relax.” I nod as he makes me sit with my legs wide open in a chair and he strips down completely so that I have a great view of his giant dick and cute butt. “I’m gonna fuck you now, is that okay?” He asks as I gulp, feeling thirsty as he lowers his cock into me slowly.

“That hurts.” I groan, earning an apology from him before he turned me around and unclasped my bra so that I was fully naked as well.

“Shit, such a nice ass.” He spanks me as I bounce on his dick, moving involuntarily since he was the one slamming into me in the first place. I feel his warm hands on my ass, taking in the pleasurable feeling of his cock sliding into me with ease, as he was hard and dripping. I realize somewhere in the middle of riding his dick that we forgot to use protection.

“Yoongi, are you cumming yet?” He shakes his head, his pale cheeks flushed red as sweat drips down his forehead and our bodies cling together from the extra sweat. He looks a bit more exhausted than usual, but that’s probably because he was tasked with fucking my brains out for over an hour now.

“Shit, I’m close now. Y/N, hold me.” 

“But I-” He kisses my neck, holding my hips in place as I attempt to bounce off his lap, and before I can say anything his hot white semen has painted my inner walls. Cream drips down my inner thighs, leaking onto his stomach as I pop off his dick with an evident look of fear on my face.

“That was amazing, babe. I haven’t cum like that since—”

“I’m not on birth control, Yoongi,” And with those words he freezes, his look of pleasure replaced with fear. “That’s not all. I just cheated on Jungkook. Oh my god.” I feel my heart beating out of my chest, blood rushing to my head all at once before I pass out.

Those Long, Lonely Nights (part 1/6)

Author’s note: This is a retelling of the story These Deep Dark Woods, but from Roman’s perspective, plus a few new scenes. I recommend reading that story first, but this can also stand alone. Please read the warnings!

Summary: Roman, a knight, insists on accompanying his best friend Logan, a potion maker, when he decides to head into the notoriously dangerous woods bordering their home to find some rare herbs and minerals for his apothecary. They find much more than they bargained for when they encounter Remus, a bloodthirsty giant. Logince. Angst with a happy ending.

Warnings:  food mention, blood, injuries, death mention, killing mention, gun mention, mild body horror (it’s Remus), disturbing imagery (it’s Remus), character death, temporary/believed character death, kidnapping, guilt, attempted self sacrifice, talk of giants, vampires and other monsters. Very unsympathetic villain Remus.

Writing Masterpost!

...

Roman bounded down the bustling street, waving to familiar passerby as he went. He knew he was easy to pick out and very recognizable, in his white knight’s uniform. Despite the early morning, many people were already up and about, setting up for the day, but the street lamps still glowed—a recent installation, they actually ran on electricity! Roman still didn’t quite understand how that worked, but he was proud to see his settlement prospering, and it was fascinating, how much light came from them, just from a few little wires and some glass. Perhaps there was some sort of enchantment involved.

“Good morning, Sir Roman,” a shopkeeper called.

Roman tabled his nerdy thoughts for the time being. He put on a bright smile and approached the shop, where a woman stood sweeping clear the welcome mat. “Good morning to you, Maryanne!”

The woman put aside the broom and dusted her hands off on her apron. “Would you like a pastry? The peaches just arrived from Mellow Valley, and they are simply delightful in a fruit tart.”

Roman hummed consideringly. “Oh, that’s very tempting, but I’m afraid I’m in a rush this morning!”

“Some other time, then. Perhaps you could even bring that handsome young man you’re always with.” She winked.

Roman really hoped he wasn’t blushing. “Of course—you know I love your treats.”

Roman was on his way to his shift guarding the outer wall, an imposing structure built of shining gray stone that protected the citizens of his home from the monsters that roamed the forest beyond. It was an important job, entrusted to the expertise of the knights, and one that Roman loved doing; but it wasn’t always the most exciting prospect. Their settlement, Old Haven, was one of the longest standing, enough so that most of the monsters had known since generations past to stay well away; and between the few times that things truly got exciting... they could be terribly dull.

But, before Roman went to his shift that morning, he had a stop to make, and this he was definitely looking forward to.

The apothecary was located just a couple of blocks from the main square, in a small, warmly colored cedar and stone building with windows filled with neatly arranged bundles of colorful herbs and evenly spaced rows of bottles of medicinal powders and potions. A hand-painted sign read, Please come in, in neat, white letters, in an only slightly decorative script.

Roman reached the shop just as the door opened, the bell overhead chiming. A customer stepped out, dressed in a dark robe with the hood up. At first glance, he seemed to be clothed entirely in black, but on closer inspection, his robe was actually a deep plum color. He clutched a bottle of pomegranate juice in one pale hand and a neatly sealed packet of herbs in the other. Dark bangs poked out from under the hood, but his face was cast in shadow. Roman frowned slightly noticing the dark, grayish veins in his hands as he stepped back to give the man room. He hurried past Roman and disappeared down the street. Roman stepped inside the apothecary once he was gone.

The apothecarist, Logan, stood behind a counter within the shop, wearing an elegant, navy colored coat and his usual pair of spectacles. He was pushing together a pile of coins on the counter. Copper and bronze coins only, Roman noticed. No silver.

“Got a lot of vampire clientele?” Roman asked, leaning (or perhaps posing) against one of the display cabinets.

Logan looked up, the warm lamplight making his deep blue irises glitter in a way that never failed to make Roman’s heart skip a beat. He glanced back down and finished tucking away the money. “Six,” he said honestly. “Seven, most likely, although she has not personally shared that information with me, and if she is, hers appears to be a mild case.”

“Hm.”

“You don’t approve?”

“Ah… they’re a little too similar to monsters, for my taste.”

“It is a monster-derived affliction, that is true, but with modern treatments, most of those afflicted with vampirism can lead nearly normal lives.”

Roman shrugged dismissingly, waving him off. He hadn’t come here to talk about vampires. “I know, I know. Anyway. How’s my favorite nerd this morning?”

“I wish you wouldn’t call me that,” Logan sighed.

“You know you love it.”

Logan did not deny it, Roman noticed with a small smile. Instead, he adjusted a few already perfectly positioned potion bottles on the counter, before saying, “I am well, although rather busy.”

Roman glanced around the room, noticeably empty of customers. “Ah yes, this is a very busy time for your shop, I see.”

“A customer did depart only moments ago,” Logan pointed out. “Although, no, I was not referring to customers. I’m preparing for an outing.”

“An outing?” Roman was interested, now. “Finally taking a little vacation, are you? Good on you. Where are you going? And more importantly—can I come?”

Logan wanted to smile, Roman could tell. But he didn’t. The guy took himself too seriously. “Not that type of outing. I require materials to restock my shop.”

Roman sighed dramatically, making it a full body motion. So much for a vacation. And the hot springs in the hills of northern Old Haven were so nice this time of year. “So? Just put it on the list for the traders. Mellow Valley should have most of your things in season by now. Did you hear the peaches arrived? Maryanne, that baker on Lilac, promised me some of her delightful pastries. We could go get some, when I’m finished with my shift on the South Wall this morning.”

Logan shook his head “Mellow Valley won’t have everything I need; and besides, the costs are considerably lessened when the materials are personally collected.”

Roman furrowed his brow. “Collected where?”

“Outside.”

“You mean outside, like, as in the park, right?”

“In the woods,” Logan sighed, beginning to sound exasperated.

Roman opened his mouth, then closed it again. The woods. The veritable ocean of dense trees beyond the settlement’s walls, filled to the brim with monsters, held back from advancing only by the strength of the guard and broken only by the occasional human stronghold and the heavily protected trails that linked them. Generally, only knights and the traders they accompanied ever ventured beyond the walls—this was, in fact, why Roman had become a knight in the first place, to get to see some of the world that most only saw through pictures and stories. Citizens were allowed to leave—they weren’t prisoners—but it was very rare, and highly discouraged. Many who went unprepared—or even those who did—never returned; and sometimes even those who did return were not the same as when they left—like the vampires who apparently frequented this shop, or at least one or more of their ancestors. Vampirism could be tricky like that. Sometimes it cropped up randomly, somewhere down the line.

Logan had begun sorting through some of his supplies, acting for all the world as if he hadn’t just announced he had a death wish.

Roman shook off his distracted thoughts of vampirism and knightly missions, and focused on the most important thing: “Please tell me you aren’t planning to go out there alone.”

“It wouldn’t be the first time,” Logan sighed. “I will have my dagger, and I will go no further into the woods than required.”

“Oookay, first of all, why am I just now hearing that you’ve been hanging out in the monster-filled woods by yourself?”

“I would hardly call it ‘hanging out’.”

“And second of all, you are absolutely not doing that.”

Logan gave him a dry look. “Yes, I am. My herbs will not pick themselves.”

“Get a garden like a normal person.”

“You know I have a quite extensive garden.” Logan paused, looked confused. He shook his head, going back to counting bundles of tiny black seeds. “Some of these herbs do not naturally grow within human settlements, let alone ours, and my attempts to recreate their preferred environment have in many cases proven thus far unsuccessful. Besides, I cannot ‘get a garden’ to form mineral deposits, several of which are required in even non-specialty potions.”

Roman still didn’t quite see why Logan wouldn’t be able to get all of this stuff using a trader. Knowing Logan, it was less about the money and more about needing to personally ensure that he received the correct materials. Surely, though, even the least-versed in medicinal resources could get him what he needed, if he described them well enough.

Also knowing Logan, though, he would not be dissuaded from going.

Roman pulled himself up to his full height, puffing out his chest and putting one hand on the protective-charm engraved hilt of his sword. “Alright, then, I am coming with you.”

Logan raised an eyebrow. “You’re coming to collect herbs? Can you even tell wormwood from hemlock?”

“I’m not going to find your nerd plants, I’m going to protect you.”

Logan scoffed quietly, clearly believing Roman’s very generous and heroic offer was unnecessary. But he sat down on his stool, finally, and looked at Roman without busying himself with his apothecarist duties. He glanced Roman up and down, apparently trying to decide how serious Roman was. “Alright, then, if you insist.”

“I do!” Roman nodded firmly. He relaxed his posture. “So, when are we going?”

“Tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes?”

“I—” Roman groaned, looking up towards the wooden beams of the ceiling. “Fine. It’s a little short notice, but fine.” He worked his jaw, then mumbled, “I’ll need to cancel a couple days… maybe Sir Leo can cover? Hm.”

Logan tilted his head slightly, adjusting his spectacles and watching Roman’s dramatics. “I am not forcing you to come.”

You are, though. “Well, I am.”

“Alright.”

“Alright.”

A beat passed in silence, Roman feeling triumphant, before Logan gave the knight a slightly amused look. “I thought you had a shift on the wall?”

“I—right. Yes.” Roman had gotten a little distracted. He took a couple of steps back. “So, you, me, tomorrow, woods. Great.” He turned towards the door, stopped, and turned around. “About those pastries?”

Logan hummed. “I can take a break two hours after noon, which is when your shift ends, if I remember correctly. I suppose I would accept one then.”

“They have fruit in them,” Roman encouraged. “That makes them healthy!”

“I do not believe that is entirely correct.”

Roman grinned and left the shop.

1 and 2 for the writing ask game!

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  –   what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

so now that careful son is done, i’ve got a few things i’m working on--- there’s the president!wilbur fix-it that i still need to write the third chapter of, there’s the time travel au, there will not be such endings, that i’ll hopefully be updating more frequently, and then there’s the fic i haven’t posted at all yet, and that’s the anastasia au

i’ve talked about it a couple of times already, mostly in the context of doing that ask game where you guess a word and if it shows up i give you the sentence it appears in, but like. dude i am literally so excited to start posting it. it’s a pretty different style from careful son in that it’s a lot more lighthearted, and also that there are multiple povs going on. i’m finally getting to write from c!tommy’s pov for an extended amount of time and let me tell you i am having such a good time with it

i’m really, really hoping to be able to start posting it soon! i’m trying to see if i can get it finished or at least mostly finished before i do, but i’ve got six out of an estimated nine or ten chapters done, and it’s currently sitting at roughly 38k words. so, hopefully that’ll be happening in the near future! another thing that i really like about it, besides what i mentioned above, is that i think this is the best c!technoblade characterization i’ve ever written; his dialogue’s really locked in for me in a way that it didn’t while i was writing careful son, and i think that’s pretty neat

2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

well i’ve already gone on about the anastasia au, so i’ll let you know what i’m most looking forward to writing next in the careful son ‘verse (break them right (and feel alive), for those of you following the series on ao3)

what i’m going to do, i think, is have one collection of interconnected oneshots presented as a single multi-chaptered fic, and that’ll be shorter stories, ones that i feel don’t quite stand on their own, probably mostly sbi-centric. and then i’ll have slightly larger stories (not nearly the length of the main fic, but like, more of  a full narrative than the oneshots) as separate entries. i have plans for something c!phil-centric already, and slightly vaguer plans for something focusing on the dteam, but-

what i’m really, really looking forward to writing is the c!niki-centric fic i’m planning out. i literally cannot wait to start on this one

Hanna-Barbera Head Dump 2: Back to the Honkai Verse

I figured that I’d share some ideas for this crossover, which I STILL have no name for, regarding the character arcs and such.

A couple of brainstorms that came to mind:

I remembered Snu-Lu Bear (I think that’s how you spell her name), Boo-Boo’s love interest from Yogi Bear and the Invasion of the Space Bears, which I haven’t seen since I was a kid. I got to thinking that she might be good as a stand in for Seele since I think Bronya and Seele are in a relationship within the game. That being said, it would be pretty awesome to write a dark Melissa, though.

A few arcs would take place in the settings of some H-B cartoons, from well known ones to obscure ones like Galaxy Goof-Ups (which reminds me, I really need to get back to my other fic!).

My OCs, as well as VK’s, will have some neat roles here. I remembered Felicia (Baba Looey’s girlfriend from my other fic, Have Guitar, Will Travel), and I think I’ll tweak her to be a good Rita stand in.

The Great Gazoo, Orbitty, Papa Smurf, AllStar Seaworthy and others will definitely appear as ELFs.

Stigmatas...still working on those!

In the vein of Honkai Impact 3rd’s Chronicles series, I decided to create my own, titled “Chapter Extras”. These not only tell stories of the characters before the main plot line, but also feature characters who are otherwise minor/mentioned within that storyline. I may end up changing the titles later.

Chapter Extra the First: Hoagy’s Heroes (Focusing on the cast of Top Cat, and how T.C. & Benny ended up being enrolled in Hanabera Academy—as well as Dibble. Hijinks ensue as the three train to become Einherjar—and try not to kill each other!)

Chapter Extra the Second: Kriegmesser (Sequel to the above, which includes Breezly and Sneezly as well as Squiddly Diddly. Details Top Cat’s time in the Arctic Branch, where he becomes the leader of the 467th Squadron, known as Kriegmesser, much to Dibble’s frustration. Also details incident that led to not only Dibble’s disappearance/death, but also the loss of Top Cat’s affinity for the Honkai.)

Chapter Extra the Third: Steel Bullet Run* (Focuses on Quick Draw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound, with story elements drawing from both The Good the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound, and my fanfics for those two, namely Have Guitar, Will Travel. Basically, Quick Draw’s journey before he became an Einherjar is not a smooth one, especially with the loss of his best friend, Baba Looey, to Anti-Entropy, but he makes a friend out of a “mysterious, steely-eyed and silent type stranger”, named Huckleberry Hound.)

Chapter Extra the Fourth: Texas Mementos (Part one of Ricochet’s story, which takes place about six to eight years before the events of the main story. Takes elements from Blazin’ Trails. After his pregnant sister, Rose, is murdered by the Honkai, Ricochet throws himself into Hanabera Academy in order to become an Einherjar. When his partner, Sherman, leaves, Ricochet is assigned a new partner: a sweet, yet sleepy-eyed and slow-moving coyote named Droop-a-Long. Though he had his doubts about the coyote—in no doubt due to his own prejudices—Droop-a-Long quickly earns Ricochet’s trust and friendship.)

Chapter Extra the Fifth: Gilded Texas Roses (Part 2 of Ricochet’s story, taking place a year after the above. Not long after entering the settlement of Hoop ‘n Holler for some much needed training, Ricochet and Droop-a-Long learn of a pair of rogue Valkryies that are brutally murdering the town populace, and are assigned to bring them in. Droop-a-Long complicates the case by falling for one of them: Denise Falconeri.)

Chapter Extra the Sixth: Poisonous Red Scorpion (Part 1 of Droop-a-Long’s story, taking place a few months after the above. Uses characters from both Blazin’ Trails and The Jetsons. Droop-a-Long’s older brother, Drag-a-Long Coyote, Jr. is up to no good, and targets their father in an assassination attempt. Droop-a-Long chases him down, only to fall into a trap where he is brought before the man he never wanted to see again: Spencer Cogswell, who is one of the people responsible for turning him into a Herrscher.)

Chapter Extra the Seventh: Jormungandr’s Venom (Part 2 of Droop-a-Long’s story, featuring characters from The Jetsons, Ricochet Rabbit, Yogi Bear and Jonny Quest. Droop-a-Long fights his fate by going through a series of trials meant to awaken the Herrscher of Calamity, trials that will break his spirit if he isn’t careful.)

Chapter Extra the Eighth: The Stars of the Show (Focusing on Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear in a comedy of errors where Snagglepuss attempts to start a troupe in order to settle a debt, only for the Honkai to upstage every performance.)

Chapter Extra the Ninth: Come to Bruin (A humorous story taking place before the finale of Kriegmesser, where Breezly’s attempts to “teach” the Colonel a lesson backfire hilariously.)

Chapter Extra the Tenth: Jormungandr’s Lure (Focuses on Baba Looey and Felicia, with additional appearances from Quick Draw and my OC, Clarissa Trottingham, and details how they became agents of World Serpent)

Chapter Extra the Eleventh: Quanta Physics (Details Melissa or Snu-Lu’s time in the Sea of Quanta, her friendship with Einstein and Tesla—yes, they will be present in this story—as well as Boo-Boo, and how she ended up in the Sea of Quanta, as well as meeting her other self.)

TBA

In addition to these, thinking of doing some “Cast Talks” in between arcs to lighten the tension (plus since the H-B characters are practically actors, it would be fun to poke at the storyline thus far, too!).

*Also, couldn’t resist the JoJo reference, lol 😂
