[✿] Alien Bullshit

| ➛ ft. Alhaitham

| ➛ hurt/comfort (???) , gn!reader , first "x reader" EVER , based on that one prompt that I can't find anymore :( , Haitham might be too ooc huhu , also there's a bluey reference here (surprise)

Alhaitham didn't know what to expect.

He certainly didn't expect that he'd get abducted by an alien, You. You who had apologized profusely when you had successfully kidnapped him. You who had asked him, begged him to help you with your exam tomorrow. What was the exam about? Why, humans of course! Initially, he refused. Why should he help an extra-terrestrial lifeform that had abducted him? You understood where he was coming from. If you were in his shoes, you would've shat yourself.

Out of desperation, you told him you'd do ANYTHING for him to help you with your exams.

Hmmm... Anything you say? How about a trade? Your species' information, history, and biology for his? You accepted his conditions without hesitation. That exam was your whole life, an entrance to a new career you've been working so hard to achieve.

The two of you began to exchange information. Hows and whys. What's fatal and what isn't? Do you have any countries? Or nations? How about his world? What do you eat? Or rather, do you eat at all? What are visions? What is an Archon? Who are the Archons? What kind of animals does your ecosystem contain? How about his? Are they edible? Yes? No? Do you sleep? How did your kind get so advanced in technology? Why is your kind learning about his? How long does a year last on your planet? How long does a year last on his?

Questions and answers. History, memories, personal experiences. It was fun. Enjoyable, Alhaitham decided. For him and for you.

What was your name? He asked and you told him.

What was his? You asked in return. And he told you.

"Why don't you come to Teyvat?"

"I couldn't. I... I shouldn't. I'd die—"

"But how do you know that? Have others before you tried it out?"

"No... But- but I couldn't possibly—"

"Just try. For me. Please?"

For him? You barely even know him. And he barely even knows you.

And yet it felt like the two of you had known each other for years.

With much convincing, you decided to try it out. You landed in the green meadows of Mondstadt and with Alhaitham in hand, the two of you stepped into the world that he called home. It was beautiful. And you survived. Why did you say that you couldn't? You didn't know at the time. The two of you left Mondstadt and travelled to Sumeru. His nation. His home.

At the time the two of you explored Sumeru. You met his Archon. You met his roommate. You met the Traveller and his companion. You met his friends. What were you so afraid of? Why did you say that you couldn't anyways?

Alhaitham didn't know what to expect at the time.

At the time, the two of you explored Sumeru. He figured he'd introduce you to culture, and the people he would call his friends. You met Nahida, the God of Wisdom. Who's wisdom she passed unto you and you couldn't have been more grateful. You met his roommate, Kaveh. He thought Alhaitham was crazy when he told him about you. You shared stories with one another. You laughed with one another. You wouldn't trade that experience for the world. You met the Traveller and their friend Paimon, who stood by their side throughout their journey.

You met Cyno, his jokes you never understood. You met Tighnari, you found his knowledge to be incredible. You met Collei, you met Nilou, you met Candace, Dehya, Faruzan, Wanderer, Layla, Dori, everyone.

All of them welcomed you with open arms. So what were you thinking? When you said that you couldn't?

You met him. You met Alhaitham. And he welcomed you with open arms.

You took effort in knowing them. Befriending them.

But you couldn't stay with them. You couldn't stay with Nahida and have tea parties with her. You couldn't stay with Kaveh and watch him and Alhaitham bicker with each other. You couldn't stay with the Traveller and Paimon and share stories from other worlds with each other. You couldn't stay and go through Cyno's awful jokes with Tighnari. You couldn't stay with Collei as you help her sew plushies. You couldn't stay and watch Nilou dance. You couldn't stay and watch Candace and Dehya spar with each other. You couldn't listen to Madam Faruzan's lectures and bicker with Wanderer. You couldn't stay with them. You couldn't stay with them all.

You couldn't stay with Alhaitham. Attachment. Connections. Those were what you were so afraid of. You were afraid of leaving someone you had just befriended so soon.

Alhaitham didn't know what to expect.

He didn't know what to expect when he watched you wave goodbye. He didn't know what to do as he watched your ship sail off into the sky. He's conflicted. He didn't expect that it would hurt. That it would tear him apart.

"Look, man. Special people come into our lives. They stay for a bit, then they have to go."

Kaveh told him a few weeks after you had left. (Although they were bickering earlier when Kaveh asked what was wrong with him.)

"But at least the part where they were here was happy, wasn't it?"

It was.

Thanks for reading ! <3 Borders used here aren't mine ‼️

20, 42, 52 :)

20. what is your favorite song at the moment?

oooo, tough. probably

or

or

or

or

I've really been feeling Pat's later stuff recently. I never really got it when it first came out. I was a dumb teen and still vibing hard with the Johnny Hobo and Wingnut stuff. Now I'm behind my peers in my late 20s and trying to get my shit together for once in my life, so it's like, "huh."

42. favorite books

Where do I start?

"Nevada" by Imogen Binnie. The protagonist Maria is literally me in every single possible way, in the worst way possible lmao. She goes on a road trip after her life falls apart and meets a depressed young man in northwestern Nevada who is blatantly a repressed transsexual. CW for drug abuse, autogynephilia discussion, and one mention of BDSM.

"Little Fish" by Casey Plett. Amazing book. It's about a Mennonite-raised trans woman in Winnipeg who has to get back into prostitution to make ends meet. CW for sexual violence, alcoholism, suicide, etc.

"Sovietistan" by Erika Fatland. The author travelled through every country in Central Asia around 2010 and wrote about her experiences in each of them. Some of the anecdotes are insane, and she treats her subject matter in a very human way (which is unfortunately not common in writing about the region). Definitely worth reading.

"Orlando" by Virginia Woolf. I must've read this 10 times my freshman year of college. A teenage Elizabethan nobleman gets transformed into a woman (happily enough) by spirits and lives that way for 400 years.

"The Man Who Spoke Snakish" by Andrus Kirivähk. This is a fantasy story about a dying pagan community during the Christianization of Estonia. They talk to snakes and live in the woods, but the youth keep running off to live in Germanicized Christian farming communities. This book has all kinds of stuff. There's magic, snake-human cultural exchange, culturally-pagan irreligious people who hate the high priest, vicious polemics against bread and porridge, and remnants from another human species who live in the trees and tame lice. There's some weird stuff about women marrying bears instead of men (i swear it came out before the tiktok thing lmao) and some really brutal war scenes, but it's definitely my favorite fantasy book of all time. Better than The Hobbit, and I love the Hobbit. It's so good. It's so so so so so good.

52. something i'm talented at

Im a decent cook! here are some photos:

[itsjaywalkers]

hi love! i need writing advice and i figured who better than to ask than little miss insane writing incredible prose world shattering dialogue?? anyways: everything ive ever written is character based. the plot is the characters and the relationships they have with each other, with any events designed to catalyze these relationships, trigger character development, serve as background noise or pretty environments, or to generally disguise that it is all about the characters. i am CURRENTLY writing an actual plot. like a grade a, "seven basic plots - the quest" plot. meaning the story is more important than the characters, which is first. how on EARTH do i do that??

HI MOKI BABY <333 sorry it took me so long to get back to u, i wanted to give ur ask a proper response and work has been actively trying to kill me (more than usual)

anyways, i feel so incredibly flattered u came to me for writing advice but i'm . so not very qualified . i should be the one making this questions to YOU because your writing is absolutely mindblowing and i admire u so much it's actually a bit concerning

to be honest, i also struggle a lot with stories that have complicated plots and heavily rely on it bc i'm also a character-driven writer. in fact, one of my wips, the fucked up road trip fic, is just like this and i'm actually terrified of actually starting it bc of this reason. i feel like i'm gonna mess up so badly bc it's so hard for me to focus more on . the story than the characters and their relationships

my approach to this is to . first outline the whole plot without giving too much thought to the characters. like yes, they need to be there and you're gonna have to mention them while outlining BUT try to keep it to a minimum, it's enough if u know where they are and what they're doing during each arc. the point is to have your whole story written down so u know what u wanna do and where u wanna take it. after that, it's just a matter of . figuring out how the events affect each character, and how these experiences shape them. you used to come up with stuff just so they could grow in the direction u wanted them to, but now the plot is More Important, and it has to happen a certain way regardless of what the characters want or need. which is also fun in its own way!! they still matter and they're still there and they're still gonna change and evolve. but this time, they're the ones supporting the narrative, and not the other way around yk?? idk if i'm making any sense, i don't tend to write plot heavy stories bc it absolutely drives me up the wall

but well, i hope this helped, even if just a little, and if u have more questions or u just wanna . complain about the whole writing process, my inbox + dms are always open for you sweetheart <3 we're both in this together and sharing the suffering always makes it more bearable imo

kissing u a hundred times MWAH <333

[lurking-latinist]

reviving a meme I previously got from @swinging-stars-from-satellites

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

158 (one currently unrevealed).

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

103,185. I cracked 100k recently!

3. How many fandoms have you written for?

All the Doctors Who + Gallifrey + Iris Wildthyme + The Time Travellers + GoR etc.; Ancient Greek Religion & Lore; WtOVPIC; Blake’s 7; Dracula; Discworld; Windrose Chronicles & Sun-Cross series also by Barbara Hambly (one crossover); All Creatures Great and Small; Lost at Christmas, heaven help me. That makes nine as I count it. Most only for one small thing or crossover.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos?

Skipping kudos bot victims:

Ms Smith (13 and Sarah, fun with fake names)

don’t worry, he’s with me (Ten and Donna five-times-fic)

Vicarious (Six & Martha drabble)

Time Flies Like an Arrow (witches fly on a broomstick) (Discworld, Lancre Witches, having a philosophical conversation about time) (I have come to detest this title but I’m glad people enjoyed the fic)

to all our nights and days to come (Seven/Romana Time War AU)

It’s helpful to include extremely popular, well-known characters in your fics. Or, apparently, to write a slightly darker twist on your rarepair OTP and happen to plug it one day on a relevant popular post.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?

I do, because I love getting comments and I am always genuinely grateful to hear that someone has enjoyed my work!

6. A fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Wow, last time I did this meme I said it was That Which We Call. That’s changed. It might actually be to all our nights and days to come, or else one of the Six-post-Trial ones.

7. Do you write crossovers?

Apparently! But not much, and not well.

8. Ever received hate on a fic?

Nope, touch wood.

9, Do you write smut?

Not my thing.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

11. Ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! @sci-firenegade translated Making History into Portuguese! It is so cool.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Sort of, with Moki! We more tend to write sequels to each other’s stuff, but we also have listed ourselves as co-authors on a couple of things.

13. All time fav ship?

Seven/Romana.

14. WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Never say die! Probably the Eight/Charley babyfic AU, though. If I go back to it it’ll be as a very different writer and I’ll probably want to rework what exists and it’ll be technically a different fic.

15. Writing strengths?

Character voices & dialogue. Also, focalization. I always know what A thinks of B and what B notices about A, which is hilarious as I absolutely do not know any of this in real life.

16. Writing weaknesses?

Used to be length; I’m still very brief but I feel like I have more control over the length of a fic now. Like it comes out more or less the length I expect it to; I can tell what size something’s gonna be. Probably now I would just say plot. I’m not great at Things Occurring. And like everybody else I get hung up on how to describe basic actions like walking across a room.

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

Don’t do it if you can’t get the other language right (as well as how code-switching actually tends to work). Also, translation convention exists for a reason. Probably don’t pull an ‘opening lines of War and Peace’ unless you are in fact Tolstoy, in which case you don’t need my writing advice. Nothing inherently wrong with it though.

18. First fandom you wrote for?

Officially, DW. Unofficially, probably something as a kid before I knew fandom existed. Redwall or something.

19. What’s your fav fic you’ve written so far?

to all our nights and days to come, probably.

Not tagging anyone, but memes are for stealing!

My Broken Kayageum

<< Chapter 1 >>

<< Summary: Jimmy Santos finds a broken instrument in the attic and he relates to it in more than one way....>>

<< Warnings: afterlife, realms, mentions of hell, heaven and blood. Bandages and a teeny mention of uncle Billy being drunk! OOC, because I can't seem to write tsunderes...sorry moki @ramblehour>>

<<A/N: This lore takes place two months after Alex's death, trash writing and I'm very tired>>

"Afterlife is a place of rest for people who die, yet it also serves punishments for people who have done bad things in their life. Just like our Earth has many countries, when a person dies there are over 200 realms a person can live in as their afterlife. But the most famous of these are Hell and Heaven, the realms of angels and demons. Though leaving the people of Earth, residents of other realms know that these two realms are only two of a few other realms, they most famous and common known realms are..

Hell

Heaven

Infernal

Celestia

Sheoxiotopia

Aettodolon

Yiodilon

Xaettirene

And...

?????

Most famous of these realms is ?????...it is famous for being the most unknown realm..

like most people on Earth presume, Heaven is a paradise and that Hell is a place of eternal damnation, but it's wrong, both the realms are quite frank to say just realms, they don't gain any type of paradise or damnation when they're put into these realms, these realms only serve as homes for humans who turn into angels or demons, no punishments are placed in these realms.

But what about people who do bad things and deserve to suffer eternal damnation? Well, there is a certain realm which serves punishments for such people...It's called 'Maroon Earth' for the blood the realm showers in on a daily basi-"

"Okay! Shut up you both! What are you doing???"

------

"God it's dirty here....I'm cleaning this attic of dust and insect! What does it look like, uncle Billy!?"

Jimmy asked his uncle, annoyed at him for ruining his time with his girlfriend who was changing his bandage on his back from their attack by Alex, where they weren't able to get proper medical attention and were only able to get themselves correctly bandaged after he fell...They still remember that...Blood, guns, bruises, adrenaline and what not running through their mind as they ignored the pain to be with each-other...It was only a few months..

"Yeaaa....Jussst, shuut up!!" His uncle slurred, while the sound of someone climbing the wooden ladder was heard over Uncle Billy's slurred random talking before his aunt's all angry and concerned head came into view from the floor, as she stood up on the attic floor and pulled Jimmy's uncle, apologizing to them, before slapping uncle's head and scolding him a bit and sending him down the ladder down the hole in the attic, before turning to the couple and saying, "I laid down a large mattress so if he fell, he wouldn't be hurt, anyways, if you both need anything, ask me..Yeah?" Before she climbed down the ladder.

As Jimmy stood up and wore his shirt back before standing up and dusting himself off and offering his head to his girlfriend, you..

"Come-on, let's hurry up a bit and if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask me...Let's hope she doesn't bring anybody over tonight..." As he mentally gagged, as you both continued to work before you were bandaging him.

As you shuffled through large boxes of stuff, you came across an old photo of baby Jimmy, it was probably old as shit, but you can tell it was him, he had the same black hair and maroon eyes and long lashes....

He was being held by a beautiful Asian couple, both were wearing a beautiful traditional clothing in turquoise and white, the lady has long, straight black hair which were curly at the ends matching Jimmy exactly and grey eyes, her husband however has brown hair and maroon eyes, similar to your boyfriend, the lady was holding toddler Jimmy who was matching his parents, with having a white butterfly clip in his hair. You never expected Jimmy with having clips in his hair and smiling, much less being the child of an Asian couple....

You tried to guessing the couple's ethnicities, but there were many things mixing up and in the end you gave up, as you leaned over in the box and pulled out a album, as you opened it up, there were photos of Uncle Billy and his wife in their youth doing stuff teenagers would do; smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and what not, as you flipped through the pages, there was an empty space right after a few pages, the page was filled with Jimmy and his parents doing various things, but there was something off about them...Yet you couldn't place your hand on it, as you ignored it and put the photo you had in your hand back into the album and flipped the page, your sight went to a dusty brown spot on the page, it had a metallic smell and was very weird to touch, but you ignored it and just as you were about to flip multiple pages at once, a voice called out to you-

"Hey! I was wondering if you want to go on a tiny date right now???" Jimmy asked snatching you attention from the book, as you stopped and closed the book before turning to him and asking, "What type of...tiny date?" Suspiciously, taking Jimmy of-guard, before replying with "I'm just joking, I know you steal your uncle's card all the time, it's not big deal to me, anymore....."

As you stood up and dusted yourself off, and putting the album back in the box before you helped up Jimmy and you both climbed down the ladder and onto the mattress at the bottom of the stairs, before Jimmy carrying two of his jackets, some money, Uncle Billy's credit card and his bike keys, while you wrote a post-it note about you both leaving on a late night errand run and stuck it on a obvious place on the ladder in-case his aunt came to check on you both.

As you walked out the cold wind of night immediately made you shiver as you folded your arms as you both walked towards the place where Jimmy parks his bike, which is a quite far, as you bother were walking Jimmy put his warm large hands around your shoulders and leaned down to kiss your cheek, making your cheeks warm up a it with shyness and little happiness before you both continued walking. Upon reaching his bike, he got it out of the parking lot, as he gave you his favorite jacket, which you loved as well, both on him and yourself.

As you slipped your arms past the large jacket and zipped it up, up to your neck, Jimmy was finally waiting for you to hop on, as he looked over at you zipping up his jacket nearly up to your mouth as you beamed proudly upon doing so, making him smile a bit, as you walked back while he got the bike out of the parking spot and upon Jimmy doing so climbed up behind him, finally ready you both left the place and walked towards your favorite grocery or 24/7 store, it has a shit ton of your favorite food and it just so happens to be the place where the most annoying person ever worked, Chris, you still remember how he called you a 'dumb bimbo' when you and Alex were hidden in the boys locker room together.

As you both walked in, Chris immediately stood up and waved at you both, "Hey dude! Whatchu doing here? Another tiny date with your goody two-shoe-" he cut his talk off upon seeing you with a scowl on your face, it scared him to death knowing, if he were to annoy you Jimmy would not leave him alive...He decided to smile sheepishly and awkwardly before sitting down on the cashier spot. "Hey." You said clearly annoyed, as Jimmy waved before picking up a basket from near the counter, taking your hand and disappearing in one of the isles to get some of your favorite microwaveable foods, cup noodles, pizzas, sausages, spaghetti, soups, sausage and other things.

Browsing through the Air Conditioned store, kind of made you happy as you held tightly onto Jimmy's hand. You picked up a few pastries and a box of cookies, before putting them in a basket, after half a hour later, when you were finally done with shopping for random midnight treat snacks, you went to the counter and Jimmy paid for the things using Uncle Billy's credit card. You actually smiled a bit and waved your hand at a smiling Chris with Jimmy while you both left the store. As Jimmy rode his bike through the cold night, feeling the somewhat strong wind on your cheeks and hands which held the large bag of snacks.

Finally reaching home, you texted to your parents that you'll be staying over at his house and it was a day off tomorrow, win win! Your parents didn't completely approve of Jimmy but they liked him a bit. You got off as Jimmy took the bag as you walked ahead to the door and knocking on it, Jimmy's aunt opened the door peeking outside to see you and Jimmy before letting you both in and leaving for her room.

Instead of going back to the attic to clean like you were here for, you both went to his room to do something else, which was like small but cozy and nice enough to fit you both, as you plopped down to sit on the bed, as Jimmy smiled and teased you about being short as always, "Hey, I'm not lying, you idiot when I say you can fit under my bed and maybe you'll be able to make friends with the demon underneath it, because you're a demon like it, aren't you??" he teased with a mischievous smirk on his face as he sat beside you leaning back on the wall. He continued to be a pain in the ass and only stopped when you pinched his arm badly,

"Okay, I SAID SORRY! DAMN! Sheesh, you seriously are tougher than you look!" Jimmy said as he rubbed the spot where you pinched before putting his arm around your shoulder as you opened the bag and looked through the stuff to see what you both got, when he suddenly got an idea and he asked, "Hey, wanna have a movie marathon??? No horror movies this time like last time, when you were jumping into my arms every two seconds!" He said smirking when you reminded him "The last time I remember, you were the one who jumped onto me when it was getting scary and you were the one who screamed louder than me.."

"Pshh, no I wasn't, why you lying goody two-shoes?" He said unimpressed and looking at you judgingly when you said,

"Oh yeah, tiktok-" "OKAY, I'M SORRY, NO DON'T SEND IT TO THE STREET-CUTTER CREW!! I WON'T HEAR THE END OF IT!" Jimmy immediately took back everything he said when you mentioned his eenie-meenie-mo tiktok, he always does when you do it, pretty cute, ain't it?? :]

As you and him lay in bed, munching on one or the other thing, watching movies, you both slowly started getting tired and sleepy of cleaning the attic and going out and buying snacks for this thing, you both fell asleep snuggled together.

But soon night turned to day as light of the sun made your skin warm and burn some places annoyingly. You're eyes started to open as somebody violently shook you awake, you're vision started clearing of the dark circles from your eyes, as you rubbed your eyes getting the sleep, tiredness and eye boogers out of them. waking awake, you sat up as Jimmy's aunt smiled at you, when you realized Jimmy wasn't in bed.

"Jimmy had somewhere to be, i made breakfast for you, come downstairs with me dear, I put out fresh towels, a clean pair of clothes and a new toothbrush, since you didn't bring one." Aunt Julie smiled as you sat up.

"Miss Santos, there was no need to do that!!" You said smiling brightly,

"Oh, I insist, please! Also it's fine, you're basically family now, you keep Jimmy out of trouble as well! So this is a small thank you" Aunt Julie smiled as she helped you out of bed, and as a thank you you helped her make Jimmy's bed and clean the house a bit before going to freshen up.

Washing up and wearing some of Jimmy's clothes, you went downstairs to the kitchen, to see Jimmy help his aunt on cooking food, him cutting, as you came into the kitchen Jimmy and Aunt Julie both smiled and greeted you good morning, you wished them back before helping them around for their hospitality. But Uncle Billy was no where to be found, curious, you asked, "Uhm, where is Mr. Santos?"

"Ah, no need to refer to him that way, dear!!"

"Ah, no need to refer to him that way, Goody two-shoes." Jimmy and Aunt Julie said in unison as Jimmy, Aunt Julie and you ate while watching the morning TV.

"Uncle Billy is probably out with some of his friends like always, never helping around the goddamn house, always drinking, getting mad at us and being a nuisance to us.." Jimmy said angrily huffing as he took a huge bite out of his breakfast. After breakfast, while you and Jimmy helped clean the dishes while Aunt Julie was out on the porch, maybe talking with neighbors, watering the plants, cleaning the porch, cleaning the Street-cutter's truck, who knows? But it was nice. Soon as you both were finished, you suddenly felt a chill down your spine as you felt something was off, but you ignored it as you helped Jimmy in studying, you had been doing since since the beginning of when you met.

as you both were helping him practice equations, which were getting harder and harder one after another, you both heard the door bell ring, as you heard some muffled chattering, deciding it was a break you and Jimmy closed and put the things away as you walked downstairs hearing a man's voice as you come closer to the door

"We're here to for Billy Santos, he is suspected for murder of three people, two adults and one kid..."

Introduction post

Howdy and welcome, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on tumblr. I decided to start a new blog and not be as much of a lurker on this site (as much as lurking is pretty great). This introduction post is mostly just so it looks less weird if I suddenly start reblogging or posting content and to make this page a little less empty.

So I’m Moki, I use they/them, I’m autistic (probably have undiagnosed adhd too) and I spend a lot of my time drawing. I also like to write, definitely not as often as I draw but I’m working on it. I usually draw anthros, it’s what I did since I started drawing so I’m more used to it.

Some other fun facts are I like to collect manga that adhere to my niche tastes, it’s not a huge collection but it’ll probably continue to grow book by book. I also like to collect Pokemon plushies. Despite this I’m not super big into collecting it’s mostly just casual collecting, it’s just a fun thing to do and spend money on when I can.

I guess I’ll list some stuff that I like in no particular order that I might reblog or post about… or just have them here that’s fine too

Paper Mario + other Mario stuff

Splatoon (Splatoon 3 expansion pack I’m so hyped)

Pokemon

Miitopia

Mlp

Kirby

Taiko no Tatsujin (drum go brrrr)

Puyo Puyo Tetris (I’m not good at puyo it confuses me but I like playing Tetris)

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Various other anime: Zombie Land Saga, Lucky Star, K-On, Bocchi the Rock (I want a season 2 so bad please), Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and BNA + others

D&D (Just like quite a few people I’ve never actually gotten to play lol rip)

Rats, I love rats so fucking much, I want to own pet rats so bad

There’s probably more I could add but this getting a tad long so I’ll probably just leave it there

[shinayashipper]

Fanfic ask meme: E I and O

E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?

Oh, I don't know which fic you mean so I will just chose randomly~

Perfect - I also want to make the (real) Yugi's POV! Because there's also a "fake" Atem in the Living Realm too, right? xD Yeah, the AI-Atem that Kaiba built. I think a story about Yugi yearning for Atem but there's an AI instead will be good too. It really parallels from Atem's POV where he got a "fake" Yugi in the Afterlife

-

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

// A little rant here

HHHH YEAH! It's usually the love triangle angst shit.

Kaiba Brothers x Yugi (Clearshipping) content is one of it xD With Mokuba having Feelings for Yugi but Yugi loves Seto instead and Seto might or might not be still having Feelings for Atem (in this setting, it's post-DSOD and Atem's already dead) but Seto ALSO starting to develop Feelings for Yugi. You know, the HELLA CONFUSING kind of Love Triangle and they have Terrible Communication xD All the trope-y "brothers who like the same person" xD

It's in the Guilty Pleasure list because I keep seeing posts like... people don't like grown-up Mokuba because "stop s3xualizing the 10-year-old" and this setting I have is post-DSOD and Mokuba is around 18 y.o. Well, thankfully I haven't received any anon hate regarding me drawing Mokie grown-up (and I also add the content warning tag that it includes aged-up character), but I'm just not really comfortable sharing my or others' Clearshipping contents HHHH I only shared it privately.

OH YEAH, also Genderbend stuff. It's becoming a guilty pleasure after I received anon hate for it HHHH I decided to just share it privately, especially if it's shippy contents. But for genderbend stuff from other creators, I have no guilt whatsoever to share/gush about them <3 It's just my contents that I'm uncomfortable with QwQ

-

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?

Ohhhh AAHHHHH I don't think I'm the best person to be asked this xD I really am not much of a writer... Um, I think the plot?? Or maybe just a scene? Like, for my wishship fic Letters, it started with me thinking about anon love letters, and then I just think who would be best to be the characters.

So, like, I found a "story vibe" and then I thought about which characters will fit the vibe, and develop from there xD

Hey Hey Hey. Just a little hello. Thank you to everyone who’s tagged me in things recently. I really am going to try to do those, I swear. Rambling update under the cut.

In terms of what I’ve been doing lately, the answer is basically nothing. Playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This is probably not an efficient or productive use of my time but it did get me through the end of the holidays without wanting to burst into tears several times a day.

Usually New Years rolls around and I at least pretend to set some goals to get my life in order but I didn’t even bother this year. Mentality things certainly have been better in the past but they’ve also been much much worse so I’m just truckin’ along trying to get through this mess of pandemic, government chaos, and personal listlessness and just telling myself that things will get better. It might not be tomorrow. it might not be next month, but the world right now won’t be this way forever.

And number one on the list of reasons Nerdy has no reason to complain, the house is close to being done and we should be moving into it in a few weeks. Part of me is hanging my hat on this being the change that gets other positive changes rolling, and it might, but I also recognize that looking at it that way is likely going to set myself up for disappointment so I’m trying not to do it too much. At the very least it will be a distraction and excuse to try and get some stuff organized. In theory. No guarantees I don’t just throw my hands in the air, carry boxes from one house to the other, set them in a corner, close the door, and ignore them.

And all things considered, Mokie is doing pretty good. With the steroids keeping the swelling down, it’s hard to tell there anything going on with her face. There’s a bump on the side of her nose but her eye looks mostly normal. The move is going to be stressful for her though because she’s a cat and she’s old. Double whammy. She also has a tendency to pee on things when she isn’t happy so I’m really hoping she doesn’t do that. I’ll be getting some pheromone diffusers for the new house. They helped last time she started peeing on things and I’m hoping if I can get them going before we move that will make the house seem less scary.

So anyways, that’s the story. I’m here. Life is both exciting and unexciting. I’m spending a lot time turning off my brain and just running around 9th century England as a viking. Maybe after the move writing will happen again. We’ll see where my brain is.

[whumpster-fire]

I reblogged a post about color vision / symbolism and color language, and it got my thinking about how color and its cultural connections could evolve differently in other species. And I love speculative biology, so here’s a fun dump of my silly headcanons and thoughts about how color works in various fictional creatures.

Inklings (Splatoon):

Inklings are cephalopods, which IRL can see color despite not having actual color receptors because they see color by a totally different mechanism than we do. However, inklings seem to usually lack the janky-shaped pupils that let IRL cephalopods do this, but color and color vision are obviously HUGELY important to their society - being able to tell colors apart is potentially a matter of life and death because they use color to indicate “ink type” which is what determines whether it will hurt them or heal them (IMO ink is basically blood except that it’s loaded with aggressive immune cells that secrete digestive enzymes and destroy living tissue that’s not recognized as “friendly,” but inklings can also change their “blood type” at will and use pigments to indicate it to each other). So I believe inklings have at least three color receptors like humans, and possibly more than that.

Inklings do have some color symbolism left over from their ancestors, though. Red and black don’t have the connection to blood like in humans because ink can be any color, but they’re still the colors of danger and aggression because angry/dominant cephalopods turn red, while white is the color of submission, fear, and death. The reason in-universe why these colors are extremely rarely used in turf wars is because red and black are essentially “we’re playing for keeps” colors and extremely rude to use in a nonlethal sport, and white is, well, like waving a white flag, it’s a surrender color. Brown is also frowned upon because diseases that mess up an inkling’s ability to control their ink pigments usually turn it brown or black, so it’s basically an “I’m contagious” color and showing up to a turf war match with brown ink is like intentionally coughing in someone’s face.

Color-matching - changing your ink color to match another inkling’s - is very important in their society. It can be a symbol of friendship or cooperation, but in some contexts it’s very aggressive - if you’re in an argument with a group of other inklings and they start matching their colors they’re squaring up for a fight, at least symbolically. On the other hand, color-matching can also be a romantic gesture because, uhh, it indicates readiness to exchange other bodily fluids.

Any IRL carnivorous mammals (E.g. Lion King or Warrior Cats or lots of other fandoms):

Dogs, cats, bears, etc. are all dichromatic: they have only two types of cone cell in their eyes, a blue and a yellow type. This makes their vision kind of similar to a human with red-green color blindness. However the most common forms of color blindness are where the green cones are either defective and acting too much like red cones or are missing, so red light is very easy to see it’s just hard to tell apart from yellow/green. Dogs and cats also have very little sensitivity to red light. A society made by these creatures would NOT use red as a warning color because it’s difficult to even see, and things like fresh blood would just look dark.

...I’ll admit, I’m way too lazy to actually take this into account in my writing like 90% of the time, there’s too much other stuff to think about without going: “Oh, these characters probably wouldn’t even have a word for red.”

Birds, probably most dinosaurs (e.g. Jurassic World or Land Before Time fandoms):

Actually have better color vision than humans due to having a fourth cone type and the ability to see a bit into the ultraviolet! This depends on species - nocturnal predators like owls tend to not have very many cone cells so they’d see colors as much more muted, but many birds can see colors we can’t at all.

Guardian Spirits (Ori and the Blind Forest fandom):

This one’s a fun one because spirits have their own light source. I wouldn’t classify it as bioluminescence because it’s pretty explicitly magical in nature, but regardless they glow in the dark, and quite brightly. Spirits’ light is bluish-white, kind of like those obnoxious LED headlights we all hate when other cars have. They’re at least partially fructivorous, so similar to humans they probably have good ability to distinguish reds from greens.

Spirits’ eyes seem to glow, which IMO is probably actually a reflective membrane in the retina like cats and dogs have, which is interesting because they’d normally literally never experience having to see only by starlight. I’d guess that their eyes have evolved adaptations to let them deal with very high levels of brightness contrast way better than humans, so their own light bouncing off nearby objects doesn’t ruin their ability to see distant things at night. Combined with how big their eyes are, spirits probably have pretty good night vision for distant objects.

Spirits are probably trichromats like humans, with red and green cones that have absorption peaks fairly close together for easy distinguishing of foliage/fruit/earth colors during the day, and blue cones that pick up their own light pretty well. At night they still retain some color vision for nearby objects with their own light.

However, I’d guess that spirits have very different rod cells than humans. Ours are sensitive around 400-600 nm wavelengths with a peak at about 500 nm - i.e. blue to yellow-orange light, peaking in the cyan. These would very easily become saturated by the “cool white” light spirits put out. However, if spirits’ emission spectrum is something like a fluorescent lamp, where the “white” is actually made up of a spectrum with very narrow and sharp peaks and very little light emitted in the gaps between those... kind of like this except with the biggest peak in the blue range...

...then having rod cells that are only sensitive to a narrow range of wavelengths that are in the gaps where they emit very little light would actually be really beneficial to helping them not saturate their own night vision. Maybe even multiple types of rod to take advantage of multiple gaps - e.g. a blue-sensitive one and a red sensitive one to easily see moonlight.

On the other hand, if you’re any other species, such as a moki, traveling with spirits at night actually poses a challenge because anyone else’s night vision will be ruined by being around them. So you kind of have to stay close and trust them to spot things that are outside the reach of their light.

I was tagged by @thisbluespirit a few days ago to list my top 5 fics I’ve written (so far!) and had to put off answering it, because at the moment I’m still very excited about my Yuletide assignment (which was in fact for thisbluespirit), and I wanted to list it, but it’s only come off anon today! So here are my top 5 fics I’ve written: in no particular order, I’m not that self-aware.

1. “The Strands of Fate” (Doctor Who (1963), T but probably could be G, Fourth Doctor/Romana II, 1709 words). This is the fic that I’d most like to have not written myself so I could read it. (But, the next best thing, Moki wrote a sequel to it!) It’s got trope subversion, it’s got Doctor/Romana, it’s got Time Lord nonsense, it’s got Lalla Ward’s bat sweater. It’s very me. Also writing it was super fun because it really took off--I was expecting it to be a couple of hundred words of joke.

2. “Somewhere to Belong” (Doctor Who (1963 and 2005), G, First Doctor, Susan, Jenny, 2200 words). Another one that sort of wrote itself: I was trying to write meta! This is based on the idea that Susan’s mother is in fact Jenny (from The Doctor’s Daughter) thanks to time travel, which is still my default headcanon for the Susan’s granny question, and I was quite impressed that my headcanon turned into an actual story with a plot and stuff. I regret that Jenny isn’t actually in the story more; maybe I’ll write more of her when I feel like I have more of a handle on her character.

3. “The Wrong Idea” (Doctor Who (1963) and whatever continuity Brax belongs in, T, Braxiatel and mentions of others, 1427 words). This fic is kind of a mess, but I think in a good way? At any rate it’s something that probably only I could have written, because the specific combination of niche lore interests is so... specific. It’s about Brax during, and after, the events of The Invasion of Time. I like the feeling of tension, and I always love exploring the concept that Time Lords Are The Worst.

4. The aforementioned Yuletide assignment: “Bestride the Narrow World” (Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully, Katrina and ensemble, G, 2502 words). This is a “missing episode”-style fic for a fantastic sci-fi radio comedy written by Eddie Robson (better known to many of you from Big Finish) and starring Hattie Morahan (better known to many of you... yeah). I’m still a little giddy over the whole experience of Yuletide, but I do also think I genuinely wrote something nice for thisbluespirit (who extra double deserves it for having made me aware of the show in the first place!). I’m always unsure about writing comedy when I start out, but I always have so much fun with it when I get into the swing of things.

5. “Blazon” (Doctor Who (1963), T, Seventh Doctor/Romana II, 500 words). It wouldn’t be a list of my fics without some Seven/Romana and some drabbles, and this drabble sequence is still what I think is the best of my Seven/Romana fics. It’s inspired by the titular blazon, which is a type of love poem that describes and praises the beloved’s physical features one by one. I always think drabbles are close to poetry in their brevity, constraint, and power, and these felt particularly like that.

I honestly have no idea if these are the actual best--they might just be the ones that were most rewarding to write rather than read--but there you go!

Tagging @swinging-stars-from-satellites @fortes-fortuna-iogurtum @strange-destinations @timeladyjamie and anyone else who wants to do it--I genuinely mean that--I’ve got to be off now and so don’t have time to tag as many people as I’d like!
