❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜ — Kenny

❝ See, I don't either-—but we didn't disengage or agree to disagree or dramatically make out or nothin' and pretty much all those windows of opportunity or whatever have up and closed and now it's just sorta fuckin'...awkward. ❞ he shifts in his seat, looking more disgruntled over this newly discovered fact that anything that might have gotten him riled up in the argument he couldn't even recall the core topic of.

❝ S'like when everyone leaves a party but you and one other dude and it's like...well, I can't just leave but I don't really know what the fuck to say to this dude either and so you just sit there sippin' your shitty beer you've held onto for way too long 'cuz you need SOMETHIN' to do with your fuckin' hands...and it's just some major uncomfy shit. ❞ he gestured between the two of them.

❝ Kenny, we're the two dudes who stayed behind after the party died. ❞

practical writing advice part 2

part 1

get used to carrying a notebook around with you. or get used to writing on your phone. you will not always have access to your computer, but it’s much easier to take something compact with you to quickly jot down ideas. also i have chronic illness and sometimes my bones feel like lead and going upstairs to get my laptop is a herculean task, BUT i can write on my phone lying down instead of just scrolling through my camera roll and being miserable. which brings me to my next point:

if you have to choose between writing unconventionally or even unproductively and not writing at all, choose the writing. i’ve said before not to create a habit of writing in bed, but if it comes down to writing in bed or not writing whatsoever, i’ll write in bed. i just try to stretch before and after (which you should also do!!!).

you’re not wasting time or being silly by making playlists or moodboards or memes of your characters and environments. having fun with your stories outside of writing them is a good way to stay motivated.

i like to stop my writing sessions in a place where i know exactly what i want to write next, so when i pick back up i won’t be left hemming and hawing over where to begin. HOWEVER, if you’re absolutely locked in, don’t interrupt that flow state. it’ll be harder to find it again later—instead, wait until you find a natural place to stop where you haven’t run out of ideas.

“why do i have a headache 3 hours into my writing session?” because the last time you had a sip of water was 4 hours ago, you dingus! keep your drinks near your workspace while you write. and i do mean, like, a full bottle of water at least. if you’re like me, things stop existing when they leave your line of sight, so keep these beverages where you can see them and refill during bathroom breaks.

uhhh try not to think negatively about your writing while you’re doing it because when i do that i just get bummed out. “this scene is terrible” -> “oh yeah fuck it up oh yeah fuck it up” (positive reframing)

ok thanks bye

iceberg.

nothing else to say. Idk.

[chilschuck]

Chilchuck is canonically very warm and perfect cuddle size! Izutsumi uses him as a cuddle buddy/sleep partner for this (he got annoyed and tried to send her to someone else, but after trying all the other members and Laios petting her, Chilchuck had her come back and accepted his life as a cat bed. he is a Dad through and through.)

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT HOW CANONICALLY CUDDLY HE IS I MELT. WAHHHH ANON i think about this so much. also him accepting his life as a cat bed and just being so Dad about it makes me insane. like i said earlier this man is detrimental to my health. speaking of this!!! here’s some thoughts hehe

— CHILCHUCK: cuddle hcs.

꒰ warnings: ꒱ none! sfw fluff + gn!reader.

✦ If you’re a cold-natured person, Chilchuck is a blessing to have. You already knew he was apparently very warm due to how much Izutsumi enjoys seeking him out, so you let your thoughts wonder. The first time you asked to share his bedroll with him, you couldn’t help but be amused at his reaction. (To say you caught him off-guard was an understatement.)

✦ After he recovered from his coughing spell at your request, he flustered. Great, so now he’s becoming the party’s new teddy bear? No thanks. But then you made that expression that always made him weak in the knees and chest and gods. He bites his tongue, letting out a defeated sigh. Maybe just this once. You did tend to get cold a lot…

✦ If you’re a tall-man, (or just have a height advantage over him, lol) you wonder what it would be like to hold him similar to how Izutsumi does. Sleeping with him so closely means odds are one of you is going to end up pulling the other in. Being the taller one, you find yourself curling up with him nuzzled into your chest. I can imagine he’s reluctant at first, but when he finally lets himself relax, he melts.

✦ If you’re a half-foot like he is, or without that height advantage, he’s the big spoon. Either that, or you end up burying yourself into his neck to steal his warmth. I can imagine Chilchuck likes to feel like a protector when it comes to you, as he’s used to having people’s lives on his shoulders. But one night, make him be the little spoon, telling him you just want to hold him for once. (Watch the high curve of his ears turn pink, lol.)

✦ Chilchuck comes to expect you cuddling with him every night. It comes time for the party to retire and he’s already subconsciously lifting his blanket for you to join him. Point it out one day and he’s sputtering out excuses with rosy cheeks. Gods, don’t think so hard about it. You’re cold, aren’t you? You’ll probably hear him grumble a good bit.

✦ He’s very mindful you’re there with him. Last thing he wants is to be a lackluster cuddle partner. And to accidentally make you stop coming to his bedroll.

✦ Probably the deepest sleep he’s gotten in a while. You just make him feel so relaxed, and the physical touch and affection is something he’s been craving for so long. Don’t expect him to admit that to you, though.

...Hozier's 6'6"? Like, actually? (I knew he was tall, but I was guessing maybe 6'1" or something similar) 🌿

He's def taller than Vessel. This man is built like a sky scraper

[lesbielol]

I’m so happy you want me to tell you how to touch yourself. I want you to start by putting in something that makes you feel sexy. It could be lingerie or it could be a suit; as long as you feel like while you’re wearing it everyone you’ve ever wanted wants you too. Now I want you to think about one of those people. Softly and slowly brush a finger over your lips as you think about kissing them. Run fingernails down your neck and imagine them nipping at you, marking you for everyone to see. Grope yourself over your clothes. They’re desperate for you, desperate to feel you and to make you feel good. Are you starting to get worked up? Tease your thighs; groping and scratching from your knees right up to the edge of your pretty pussy, but don’t touch yet. Imagine that person you wish were with you; imagine them sinking their teeth into the soft flesh of your inner thigh, not in a way that would really hurt you, just enough to leave a mark. Keep teasing yourself until you’re desperate, groping your thighs and tits. Then, strip naked. Admire yourself. I’m sure you’re beautiful. Can you feel the wetness between your thighs? Touch your pussy. No fingers inside, don’t run your clit, just touch yourself gently. Aren’t you so so warm? Now, if you’re comfortable give your pussy a few light slaps. Just enough to feel the sting fade to a pleasant tingle. Is your hand wet now? Go back to teasing yourself. I know you must be needy by now but you’ll have to wait a little longer. Don’t touch your poor cunt until you’re dripping, writhing, squeezing your thighs together for any little bit of friction. Then try giving yourself a few more slaps or go ahead and spread your self open. Rub your clit the way you wish that person you’ve been imagining would. Gather some of your wetness and spread it over your hard nipples. You must look so fucked out and desperate right now, that person you’ve been imagining would be lucky to see you. Keep rubbing yourself, dip a finger or two inside if you like. Make yourself feel so good. Bring yourself to the edge. When you’re getting close I want you to pinch your nipples; maybe slap your tits a bit. Enjoy the mix of pleasure and pain. Don’t stop until you’ve cum. Cum for that person you wish was unraveling you. Imagine the ways they’d ruin you. When you’re finished, before you clean up the mess you’ve made, put your outfit back on and look at yourself. Know that you’re as sexy as that outfit makes you feel.

- 🌿

(P.S. don’t forget to rest, pee, and drink some water after getting off, I hope you enjoy yourself!)

i’ve been busy lately but i finally took some time to do this and 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 it was much appreciated!! i very much did enjoy myself :3 thank you 🌿 anon <3

[hyunsvngs]

You’re so right about Changbin being a bong man.

I can see it, him all sitting on the couch, you in his lap, bong in his hands while he offers you some and guides your head like he does when you give him head and the similarity gives him ideas and his CCC begins to stir and he has you on your knees, drooling on his cock all messy and lazy, in seconds — or his hands slowly reaching under your skirt to touch you while he compliments on how wet you are for him and encourages you to smoke some more. I’m down bad.

I don’t remember if I already asked but can I be your 🌿 anon?

oh stop it STOP IT THIS IS SOOOO DELICIOUS…

god like his hand going into your hair to hold it back for you, holding your head to the bong. he’d probably even light it for you, but when he flicks the lighter he realises the double entendre of the situation and ohhh… oh wow. his cock starts stirring in his pants and he can’t even help it, throwing the lighter to one side before he’s pushing one hand up your skirt AND AND AND AND AND 😔😔😔😔

AND THE ENCOURAGING U TO SMOKE MORE… OH MY GODDDD SORPTISODIFKG

no i’ve kind of been in a bini brainrot since i got stoned last night. i’ve been CHORNY (changbin horny) WITH A CAPITAL CH!!!!! because when i was stoned ln i thought about: changbin shirtless w just glasses on wearing those damn plaid pyjama pants… and his hair all messy n curly and his TUMMY IS THERE…. and maybe he’s a lil hairy too.. STOP IT!!!!!! IM CHORNY <3

Hey, I found this funny plant on 1313 Skid Row. I asked @orin-scrivello-dds and he told me to ask you about it. Do you know what it is?

“Burn it.”

[southrnweed]

❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜ — Ridley

He's conscious of the way his brain immediately latches onto the first defense mechanism it can grasp, that it knows so well-—humor. That urge to playfully remark that you can't be killed if you're dead, silly sits on his tongue; it dies there, he's too aware to be able stomach saying it. Then he gets to sit with that awareness, that out of body experience of recognizing your own behavior and having to struggle against it as if he were two entirely different beings in one body.

Thistle felt like an aggressive dog straining against its leash and collar-—while he was also the poor fuck trying to hold himself back.

It was uncomfortable to recognize he was cared about, that there was concern for him. That his actions and what they did to his own well-being mattered now. He wanted to dismiss the regard, lash out at it-—do anything but exist with it and accept it. That quiet civil war raging within his own mind as part of him wanted to snap and bite and bolt while another part of him was aware he was on some pussy manbaby shit and needed to nut the fuck up and deal with this because it wasn't going away. Whether he liked it or not, this mattered now. Things had changed and as terrifying as that was, it wasn't just for himself that he needed to adapt.

He works his jaw, nods a few times as he collects his words. Honesty is what he chooses, no flowery and avoidant bullshit.

❝ Yeah. No, I get that. Heard ya loud and clear, Rids. I'm workin' on it...the whole not dying thing. Promise. There's just gonna be a li' bit of a learnin' curve you're gonna have to stay with me through is all. ❞

[so-many-ocs]

user so many ocs, my beloved, fellow Locked Tomb enjoyer, I am about to finish Nona and I am losing my mind because nothing will fill the Gideon Nav sized hole in my heart (lol). do you perchance have any recommendations of what I can read next that's similar to TLT?

ok i wanna preface this by saying i've only read GtN (i needed time to recover after the first one and left HtN at my parents' house for the semester lol but by virtue of Existing On Tumblr i know most of what happens in the series + i plan to read HtN asap)

BUT LET'S GO!! (storygraph summaries linked)

if you liked gideon the ninth, try:

This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone & Amal El-Mohtar - maybe i just read these 2 really close together but Time War has time travel, space fuckery, gut-wrenching sapphic yearning, and a drily humorous tone all packed into the span of less than 200 pages.

She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan - historical fantasy, rich worldbuilding, one of my All-Time Favorite Books (right alongside Time War and Gideon the Ninth lol)

Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang - historical fantasy, political intrigue, silver possesses the ability to manifest any meaning lost in translation between languages.

Cosmoknights by Hannah Templer - graphic novel (2 books out now); princesses, politics, and gladiator-style fights, but in space!

now for books i haven't read (on my tbr) that others have recommended for fans of TLT:

The Unbroken by C.L. Clark - fantasy, desert empire, a soldier and a princess "haggling" over the price of a nation.

The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri - fantasy/romance, one seeking revenge, one seeking family.

The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix - fantasy, girl who is a monster (favorite trope of Ever btw), witches, kingdoms, and assassinations.

Crier's War by Nina Valera - fantasy with some sci-fi elements(?), humans vs. robots but with a twist! i want to read this so bad but have not found it anywhere

this list has some of the books i've recommended here, as well as a couple others i haven't! most of the books i've recommended are sapphic or at least lgbtq as well if that's something you're specifically interested in :)

lastly, storygraph does have a "browse similar books" feature, though i'm not sure how accurate it is as i've yet to really try it out!

i hope that was helpful !!!

[whumble-beeee]

hiiiiiii bee

im so fucling curious what the backstory is behind deeby and lana omg. meant to send a more coherent ask but post work braincel decrease is hitting me hard. also the dutch petname thing scared tge fuck out of me the first time.

ps this is also thw first time ive anon named myself

love - 🌿🚫 anon

God, mood about the post-work braincells. Also, I mean this with so much love, but it means so much to me that I managed to scare the shit out of you with that lol. He gets. Just so much worse. Let's just say everyone in my discord servers I introduce him to universally hate him with a passion. Get ready.

ALSO technically parts of Declan and Lana's backstory are giant spoilers, including what will be one of the bigger plot twists, so I can't tell you just yet. HOWEVER, what I can do is reiterate and highlight things I've already said in-story, plus what's gonna be revealed soon when I actually upload her character profile lol. All that under the cut.

So the first time you really first start hearing about Lana is in Chapter 7, where we also meet Vaughn for the first time. In that, we learn that 1. Declan and Lana are ex boyfriend and girlfriend. As in they actually used to date. 2. Lana is Declan's boss now in some capacity (and was the one to order Stan's kidnapping), and 3, Declan fkn hates Lana. So much more than he hates Vaughn.

In Chapter 8, we learn that 4. Vaughn and Lana are currently dating. That's not really too relevant, but it's really funny to me because their relationship is... something. I'm sure you can imagine. It's very mutually manipulative and they both know it, its awesome.

Anyway, then in Ch. 9, through Stan and Deeby's yelling match, you learn that Declan and Lana's relationship is complicated and he refuses to talk about it, but 5. he's kinda obligated to do whatever Lana says or face unspecified consequences.

Skip to Chapters 11 and 12, the ones with Marcus at the convenience store getting harassed, where we first meet Lana in person. We learn a lot about her, mainly that she 6. acts pretty bubbly and ditzy but is actually pretty smart, 7. is completely fine with SA, 8. is manipulative as hell, 9. feels safe enough to fuck with Declan's plans because despite how much we know Deeby to exert his will over others, he wont do shit to stop her. and 10. The big one: she was the one to give Declan his burn scars (with acid btw. everyone in the story has a weapon of choice, bc superhero lol. Lana is injectable poisons, gasses, acids, etc.). This is mostly just something you could assume, but when she gave him that burn scar, that was the turning point when Lana started manipulating Deeby.

Chapter 15, it's mostly just more of the same, Lana telling Deeby to keep Stan for longer, and Deeby can't argue back, he hates Lana but he has to do what she says, whatever.

So, to put it all together for you: Lana has Deeby under her thumb for some reason. She acts fake, she's manipulative, she's relatively smart, and she dated Declan which means she would get to know some of the more intimate details about him that she could blackmail him with. Also something happened between them where she literally burned him with acid, and now she is his boss (she's the CEO of Supramed Corp. actually, which would be revealed whenever I get around to posting her character profile lol) and makes him do bounty hunting jobs as well as basically whatever she wants. That's what we know so far.

You'll learn more about Lana as a person as well as the nature of their relationship as time goes on, and a lot of Declan's behavior has been partially shaped because of her. There's a lot more to her that hasn't been uncovered yet, although the context clues are all there in the story. I just pointed out the specific ones that relate to Deccy.

Also, one last thing to leave you with. I focus a lot on eye color in this story, it's always very important, it tells you a lot. Lana has bright blue, sky blue type eyes. Can you maybe think of another time I've described a character with eyes like that?

(also if you have any questions feel free to ask in another ask or the comments lol, idk if any of this is even comprehensible)

[minswriting]

i just wanna apologize for my inactivity guys! a lot has been happening in my personal life so i may not be officially back until about august 14th!

[c3ntrifuga13qui1ibrium]

Collei walked the halls of the Akademiya, on a little stroll around Sumeru. She came much earlier than usual today since she and Kaveh had planned for a sleepover today.

As she meandered quietly, barely anyone looking at her though she had some confidence in her step, she ran into someone.

And, quite literally at that.

As Collei quickly looking up, she gasped lightly, blushing.

Alhaitham! Oh- oh, Archons! I'm so sorry!

I'm just walking around here for a bit until I head to your house!

Collei inwardly cringed at herself, even though she knew Alhaitham would be as kind as usual about it.

Not that this was a normal thing that happened!

-@the-most-beloved-colleiflower

// Hello, there! Random little spin off rp from my ongoing one with @kavzz! Hope both of you mods are having a good day! <3

Alhaitham turned to face the other, his glare a mix of nonchalance and annoyance. He uttered a quiet groan, alongside a huff, that was quickly replaced with a soft smile as he realized who it was.

Ah... Collei, my apologies. Is there anything I can help you with, kiddo?

//ahhh im so sorry about how late this is auhh.. ive been a bit busy with with the other blog i run (haii mod haiyi :3) so :(

[kavehaskblog]

I’m so happy the celebration went off without a hitch! It was…quite the project… and the added stress of bumping into Alhaitham didn’t make it any easier… but it all worked out!

I believe our Archon has enjoyed her celebration. At least I hope, aha…

(Open rp)
