“Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I” — Hozier, Francesca from “Unreal Unearth” Their love for you is so overwhelming, so profuse, their hunger for love is worse than their hunger for food, water, or sleep. They yearn for you and your affections, like a baby yearns for the embrace of their parents. From the gods above, to the demons below, there is no where that can house or comprehend the love you share with them. spotify playlist

[spidernuggets]

Hey I just read your Jason x reader fic where y/n is the joker's daughter. First of all, that👏was👏awesome 👏, really I was feeling things and was destroyed when you used the sentence of the prompt. I was tearing up, and I don't normally do that, sooooooo. Yeah, you're damn good with your writing, keep it up.

Now, the reason why I'm doing this, I read it (both parts) like 1 hour ago, 10 mins after that Line without a hook from Rick Montgomery is playing on Spotify. I realized with a broken heart (you really got my feelings hanging from that fic) that it fits perfectly with the song, and it doesn't only works with one of them, it works with both jay and reader and the lyrics if you put attention to them it jumps from one to another.

Here's what I'm saying,(I'm just being delusional and overanalyzing everything) look:

I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me When we're alone You can hold my hand If no one's home

Here it's kinda both of them on the very final of part 2, like it says about the holding hands and touching when they're alone, but in a sense that they feel alone in the world without each other. But also the fact that y/n doesn't have anyone home, and from jays pov, how he felt betrayed with bruce, for knowing about her being his murderer's daughter.

Do you like it when I'm away? If I went and hurt my body, baby Would you love me the same?.

Right here, is the reader, specifically when she fights with Jay in the alley, but like, I feel that it's more like what she couldn't say to him, because she did what he asked, she moved away. At the same time the last 2 lines talk very well of how she lost everything, and I can also see a little hint of the robbery part, in the sense that she is hurting her "soul" or "essence" for lack of words.

I can feel all my bones coming back And I'm craving motion

JASON, do I have to say anything else? Like quite literally it's about resurrection, but emotions, don't forget about them, it's all the crushing rage he felt in the batcave, but also the hurting and the pain when he saw how little she had, when he realized how much she had suffered and how much he missed her.

Mama never really learns how to live by herself It's a curse And it's growing You're a pond and I'm an ocean

READER!! like are you seeing how many coincidences there are with this song! Analogy of mama, but it's actually "dad".

Personally, I've never understood the part of the pond and the ocean, but after this, it gave me a new look at it, from the readers pov, it's all the pain she caused jason, be it from the lies (quote to him), that she feels it's only growing, or could also be from the fact that jay thinks she like her dad and that she is much like poison (or curse) and it's eventually going to infect the kids or diane.

Oh, all my emotions Feel like explosions when you are around And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh

Now this is both of them when they see each other again, but that last line, it works very differently, for jay it's rage and hatred, but for y/n it was blaming herself for everything, this before she reflected on herself, after that it's just numbness, seeing life gray, because what else could she do alone like she was?

Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you I need you here to stay I broke all my bones that day I found you Crying at the lake

Again both of them, but the reader is very good as an undertone of those 2 first lines, she is broken without him, without the only and very first person that loved her, I need you here to stay, it's the picture beside her bed, obviously.

The last two are very very very perfect on Jason, he is broken and sad when he saw her in that little rathole she called a "home", but the "...broke my bones...", it happens when she says that it was worse at the werehouse.

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden? Oh, and if I could take it all back I swear that I would pull you from the tide

Jason begging for forgiveness, 🔛🔝📈📈📈.

Lats line specially about when he took her home, both before and after he found out.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa I said no (I said no), I said no (I said no) Listen close, it's a no The wind is a-pounding on my back And I found hope in a heart attack Oh at last, it is past Now I've got it, and you can't have it

I need another opinion here, it fits perfectly with both of them, but to be honest, It doesn't feel fair.

For reader it's in the alley screaming and shouting at him that she changed and understood that she it's not her father. She doesn't blame herself anymore (at least that what she says), she found hope of being better in a shattered heart.

Or jason, in the batcave, screaming and shouting how she betrayed him. Finding hope of not getting hurt anymore in his broken heart.

Both of them, both of the situations, let very clear the last line. "Now I've got it, and you can't have it".

Jason has his heart, she wasn't going to hurt him anymore, he's not gonna let her.

Reader finally has cleaned her conscience, and she's not going to let him take it away from her.

Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you I need you here to stay I broke all my bones that day I found you Crying at the lake Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh And if I could take it all back I swear that I would pull you from the tide

The same that I mentioned before.

Darling, when I'm fast asleep I've seen this person watching me Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?" Oh

Now, we all know that the joker never leaves, be that he has clones (literally wtf dude), or be it the scruchiating trauma he leaves in all his victims.

Reader, is repeating the voice of her father saying that no one will love her truly, given her identity.

Jason is repeating his horrible death and torture, but in my little delusional mind, I also believe that he was imagining the joker mocking him when he realized who y/n really was. Thing that only boosts the voice she hears. Not to forget that he is actually suffering with these nights terrors just like the song inclines.

Guess there is something, and there is nothing There is nothing in between

Then again comes the numbness she felt in those lasts months.

Watching over me, he's singing "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy" He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook"

I know it should be jay, but I'm going to do a little genderbending, cause the joker is a constant bully for the reader, even when dead, and in her dreams, (like fr dude calm down) , the reasoning behind this, it's that Jason stoped loving for a good while, but, she didn't, and if you add the constant remainder of "no one is gonna love you" with a good reason she is the owner of this verse.

Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you I need you here to stay I broke all my bones that day I found you Crying at the lake Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh And if I could take it all back I swear that I would pull you from the tide

The song ends yet again but with the chorus, but the very last line resonates with me, because of Jason wanting her back and actually putting an effort to understand her again after all the pain both of them suffered.

It ends with a happy feeling I think, if not at least optimistic.

I'm really sorry, it's too long, haha I really went into easy mode, hope it is not a burden. And if it isn't clear by now, I loved your fic, you had me in a chokehold all the damn time

STARLET, WHEN I CATCH YOU STARLET. STARLET, WHEN I CATCH YOU, STARLET.

Oh, my bleeding days, you probably dissected the fanfic even further than I could've imagined.

I SHIT YOU NOT, I WAS GONNA PUT LINE WITHOUT A HOOK INTO MY LYRIC PROMPT LIST. But i was like, ughhhh, the lyrics, THE LYRICS!!!! Ricky Montgomery's lyrics to that song were MWAHHHH. I was like, man I can't just copy ajd paste the whole song onto the list!!

I also thought that the whole song itself would be such a good prompt for an entire fanfic!! But the first part of the fic was so much longer than the others I've written, and since I've a packed schedule, I knew I wouldn't get the fic done if someone were to request the song.

But you've explained the fic together with the song so beautifully!! Like I know you were basing the song and fic with each other, but BRO YOU ALLOST MADE ME CRY!!

NOW LISTEN, LISTEN HERE!!!

You've used the whole song, comparing it to moments in the fic. But we add in one more verse- The verse from Line Without a Hook ft. mxmtoon!!!

And I know that you know Listen close and move slow I can't speak fast or else I'll crack

I feel you link lyrics and the fic better than I would, but my interpretation would be READERRRR yelling at Jason in the alley. Like, she's trying so hard to convince him that she's not the Joker, and she doesn't wanna cry in front of him again!!! "And I know that you know," maybe deep down, Reader knows Jason believes what she's saying, but Joker put Jason through so much, his head is just filled with trauma and rage!!

It's the price I pay for going back And I've dreamed to be seen Now I've got it, do I want it?

"It's the price I pay for going back," When Reader goes back to the soup kitchen, and Jason's all pissed off at her, but Reader just wanted to see Diane and the kids again :((

"And I've dreamed to be seen, Now I've got it, do I want it," Reader tried so long to tell Jason the truth, but like it all ended up badly when Jason was rewatching the footage of him. And it just ended up with Reader being scared of him when he started screaming and yelling at her.

And it teeny tiny bit ties in with the end of part 1 where it's like, the identity of Reader being the Joker's daughter wouldn't be mentioned at ALL since Joker never revealed he had a kid in the first place!!

So even though she had known Diane, the kids, and Jason for a good while, no one really knew who she really was.

But she regrets it when she finds out her dad was "right" :((

THERE WAS A TIKTOK SOUND THAT MASHED UP THE MXMTOON'S VERSE WITH RICKY'S AND IT GOES SO WELL WITH THIS PROMPT BUT THE SOUNDS GONE RAAAHHH

AND DONT BE SORRY THAT YOUR THOUGHT IS LONG!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINION AND IDEAS OF MY WRITING AND IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT!!

[clio-daughter-of-dionysus]

“Do you like it when I'm away?

If I went and hurt my body, baby

Would you love me the same?

I can feel all my bones coming back

And I'm craving motion

Mama never really learned how to live by herself

It's a curse

And it's growing

You're a pond and I'm an ocean

Oh, all my emotions

Feel like explosions when you are around

And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh

Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?

Oh, and if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide”

Is Ricky Montgomery me rn???

[cirusthecitrus]

Can I ask Entrapta and Hordak for the character ask meme?

First impression: with Entrapta, she caught my eye even before the show premiered, when I saw the promo art. I fell in love with her design right away, though i didn't care much for her character at first, just didn't get the hype. It is only after she showed her vulnerable side, when she thought her friends abandoned her (but we knew it was not true!), thats when I got invested. Tuned in for the drama, stayed for the purble mad scientist

Same with Hordak. Didn't care for the character, loved the design. And I loved it specifically because he looked similar to the demon characters from my original story I was working on with a friend at the time. The long pointy ears, the nose, the glowing eyes, the clawed hands and sharp teeth, they also have wings just like Imp!

Oh and I always loved his relationship with Imp, it was so fun to watch these two interact :3

Impression now: to me personally Entrapta and Hordak are the real heart of the show. They are both integral to the story, they're interesting and fun in their own ways and their relationship is simply the best thing the show has to offer. Plus their personal journeys are so exquisitly tragic, love me some good angst

They're both my lil scrunklies, my beloved chew toys, one of my fave evil power couples. Though I gravitate more towards Hordak, he got that melancholic sad doe eyes rizz. And older brother issues (hes just like me fr🤝)

Favorite moment: oof but there are so many. 'Imperfection is beautiful' and 'I am Hordak' are obviously in my top 5, but I also want to mention some other ones

From entrapdak scenes - the one where they chat while sitting on Hordak's throne, the one where Hordak protects Entrapta from the portal explosion and the iconic "What have you done to me?" scene

As for their personal moments, I still giggle at Entrapta's "Do I need to explain math to you?🤨", also I can't get over her soft hum and lil smile when she remembers her lab partner in the portal reality

And with Hordak, again, love all the scenes where he's so casually adorable with Imp, also s4 moments when he's being obsessed with Entrapta (can't deside between the blushing scene and the 'crying over her' scene)

Idea for a story: For Entrapta I've been thinking about an au where she gets consumed by the Island before her friends find her, turning into this scary powerful monster who still has some of her free will. And she either escapes the island herself, becoming a threat to both the Horde and the rebellion (but eventually she and Hordak save each other with the power of love~), or she stays on BI and has this emotional fight with Adora and Bow where she gets to voice all her fears and grievances, but in the end gets defeated and comforted

For Hordak I have this idea about him meeting another clone with the same defect as him. Maybe he was just fresh out of a pod, and his condition only took a toll on him after the fall of Prime. I imagine Hordak being so gentle and protective of him, giving him all the love and understanding + recourses he was deprived of. I also imagine him finally not feeling so alinated when he's around his own kind, like a black sheep among his "perfect" able bodied brothers, because now he knows he's not the only one

Unpopular opinion: Entrapta's trauma should've been treated more seriously and not forgotten right after the Beast Island episode. S5 felt like s4 events were erased from everyone's memory. Also, it should've affected Entrapta more. Again, where are the conflicted feelings towards Hordak? It was never established that she found out the truth about her exile, that Hordak was lied to and had no idea about it. And where are the conflicted feelings towards Catra? The more I think about it, the more I hate that dumb apology and the fact that it was enough for Entrapta to forgive her, after everything Catra did to her and her loved ones

With Hordak... those are not quite common, but it is still tiring to see some fandom opinions where ppl critique this version of Hordak by calling him a loser and a lame villain/character, because he's not "badass" and "threatening" enough and is bad at his job as the leader of the Horde. Cause like... that's the point. Hordak was bad at this because he was not suited for this role, he is not a leader and thats not bad/contradicting writing, thats just his character trait. He was only trying to mimic the only role model he ever had in his life, trying to fit into Prime's shoes and obviously failing at it, because he's not Prime. He was also programmed to be an obedient slave with no wants or ambitions, not a dominant power hungry ruler, and I can only imagine what it took him to become as powerful and threatening as he is in the show. He did not belong on that throne, not because he's incompetent/useless or stupid or a bad warlord, but because choosing to become Lord Hordak, choosing to go all this way to try and prove himself worthy to his uncaring god was,on itself, his biggest mistake, not the right path for him. The Etherian Horde is like that because it's existence was a mistake

Favorite relationship: romantic? with each other. Platonic? Also with each other, but also -

For Entrapta - her friendship with Adora and Wrongie (also Scorpia, but only pre s5 Scorpia, like girl what happened...)

For Hordak - his bond with Imp and his relationship with Horde Prime (i just love how tragic and messed up it is okay?)

Favorite headcanon: idk if a have a favorite, there are all sorts of hcs, so i'll just focus on a random one I like

I do find the idea of Hordak being creeped out and lowkey haunted by Entrapta's cat painting hilarious, but I also like to think that the cat was her real pet, maybe a childhood pet even, and by keeping the painting she honors the memory of her old friend

Ghost. - part 4: Attention.

I suggest listening to Every Breath you Take by The Police reading this. It doesn't just go with the chapter, it's also an amazing tune.

Part 1 here - part 5 here.

PAIRING: TVA!LokixOC

RATING: ALL

SUMMARY: Loki meets sombody at the TVA he once knew. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to remember him.

TVA, 2021.

"So basically, this is not a very clever character; the problem is that he's terribly fast. He jumps from one point of the timeline to another, and somehow… he wants to be found, I feel it, I just don't understand why," Lydia grabbed the fork and put a piece of apple pie in her mouth as she told Loki about her latest case.

There was something missing in the Lydia in front of Loki, but he couldn't figure out what it was, and it was driving him crazy.

This Lydia, despite sharing meals and sometimes a desk with him, didn't look at him the way she used to.

The Lydia he knew always had very strong expressions, a sharp tongue, a quick wit. While this Lydia was calm, often smiling at him sweetly, and always focused on her work. It was on her job that she poured all her energies and attentions.

Loki was beginning to not stand it anymore.

The Lydia he had in front of him was a colleague, engaged in finding the bad guy of the moment. For the Lydia he knew, he was the bad guy of the moment. All her energies were on him.

It was driving him crazy.

"In short, there must be a motive. He arrives, kills someone, and leaves," Lydia made some movements with her fork in the air, "it's stupid. He knows that this way, he creates a NEXUS event, and that we come for him, it's like he's shooting a huge firework, His actions... they make no sense."

"They don't have to"

Midgard, 2012.

On the rooftop of their hideout, the evening wind was stronger, and it slapped her face.

The stars weren't clearly visible due to the light pollution from nearby cities, but Lydia had to admit that they were much more visible than they were in New York.

"What are you doing out here?" Loki approached her from behind, but she didn't turn around.

"Don't you know that even prisoners are entitled to an hour of fresh air?"

"Is that what you consider yourself, Miss Princhett? A prisoner?" he joined her.

"And I'm not, am I?" she retorted.

"I don't see chains on your hands or feet," Loki raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her figure.

"And I suppose I should thank you for that," she smiled sarcastically.

Loki scoffed, turning his gaze to the panorama.

"What are you doing out here, anyway?"

"I'm admiring the stars," Lydia joined her hands behind her back, "and waiting."

"Waiting for what?"

She smiled. "Tell me, Loki of Asgard. Are the stars just as beautiful from your immense golden palace?"

"Oh, Asgard's sky is much, much brighter," Loki looked up "clear and full of constellations, except when Thor causes turbulence."

She smiled faintly. "Yes, I've heard stories about your brother."

"He's not my brother," he turned to her.

She nodded. "I'm adopted too. Having two moms, that wasn't much of a surprise," she smiled at him.

"But you never found out you're a blue giant. A monster from a story to scare children."

Lydia could feel Loki starting to grow nervous. That was him: he started from something small, mulled it over until it was loaded with emotions and turned it into a giant, then he couldn't contain it anymore, and it burst out, like a huge explosion.

"No, I didn't," Lydia took a deep breath. "It must have been very painful for you."

Loki turned to her.

The quiet was interrupted by a whistle, followed by a loud bang that culminated in a light in the sky, coming by the nearest city.

"What are those?"

"Fireworks," Lydia smiled slightly without looking away from the sky.

"And what are they for?" Loki furrowed his brows.

"For nothing, they're just beautiful," she shrugged.

Loki turned to her again. "They don't make sense."

Lydia returned his gaze. "They don't have to," she shrugged before going back staring at the sky, while Loki stared at her.

TVA, 2021.

"They don't have to," Loki muttered under his breath. Barely audible.

Lydia swallowed the entire piece of cake. "What did you say?"

He shook his head, looking at the girl with brown hair and a mouth covered in powdered sugar. "Nothing, I was thinking about something."

"No, no, wait. You said they don't have to."

He looked at her, furrowing his brows, and could see every gear in her mind spinning at high speed.

"The killing is a diversion! A distraction… it keeps our attention while the accomplice does something else."

Loki saw how her eyes beamed with light.

Lydia stabbed the fork into what remained of the cake. "Damn, Loki, you're a genius!" She got up from the table and grabbed the jacket from behind the chair. "See you later, I've got work to do."

Loki watched her rush towards the exit.

"I'll tell you how it ends!" She shouted before disappearing behind the café doors.

Loki waved his hand at the chaos Lydia had left behind before shifting his gaze towards the café windows.

He looked at his own reflection in the window and an idea came up his mind.

At the TVA, there were no starry skies, and certainly no fireworks, but luckly for him, Loki was a god. And a god's abilities know no limits.

Guys, thanks a lot for the support you've shown me, again feel free to leave a heart, a comment or to reblog, this really helps a lot. Part 5 will be posted around Thursday 02/15!

A/N: This story is originally written from my wattpad account. This is from my Middle-aged actresses oneshot imagines. (I added the link if you wanna check it out)

Warnings: Angst but with Fluff ending. {GIFS NOT MINE}

Y/n's POV

"Y/n! You'll do great." My PA says to me before I go up on stage. I thanked her and proceed to face the thousand crowds who is here to listen to my music live and support me.

I've been dreaming for this concert since i was 14. Now that i'm 26, it's happening.

With a big smile i started my first song and the second and the third until halfway through my fourth song I started to walk around the stage. I can somewhat see the people on the front row. I'm trying to hold their hands and making them sing some parts.

One person caught my eye. There are a lot of people i'm expecting but not her. She is watching me intently and luckily I didn't mess up my song. I finished it and gone back to the center of stage.

I talked to the crowd and thank god their not yet sick of me.

"This next song is very special to me. This was not supposed to be a part of the album but then 'things' happened and this song was born. This is for the person that I loved the most, until now!"

I breathlessly said to the crowd while fixing my guitar. I found her again and now I don't know if she gets it but yes, this song is for her.

'Line Without A Hook'

By: Ricky Montgomery

(Changed some of the lyrics, i copied it from tiktok so credits to the one who changed it)

~I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me

When we're alone

You can hold my hand

If no one's home~

"Liz are you still afraid?"

"Y/n what you're asking is easier said than done!"

"Why? Why is it so hard for you to tell the people that you love me? It's been two years Liz."

"Y/n I want privacy, I want our relationship to be private."

~Do you like it when I'm away?

If I went and hurt my body, baby

Would you love me the same?

I can feel all my bones coming back

And I'm craving motion~

"The relationship we have right now is a Secret Relationship, not a private one. You are hiding me from the world! You are hiding your love to me from the eyes of everyone!"

"Is what I'm doing is not enough?"

"You are enough! You will never be not enough, but I want to hold your hand when we're outside, kiss you whenever I want! And I want the world to know that I am Elizabeth Olsen's."

~Mama never really learns how to live by herself

It's a curse

And it's growing

You're a pond and I'm an ocean~

"Liz, just tell me the truth please. Do you even love me?"

"What are you saying? Ofcourse I love you! I love you more than anything?"

"Then tell me why? Just tell me your fucking reason, damn this!"

~Oh, all my emotions

Feel like explosions when you are around

And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh~

"I'm afraid! Alright I Am Scared! Y/n I'm afraid of what would my parents will think of me! Of what would the world will think of me!"

"There it is! Is that it? Is that your only reason?"

"..."

"You love me Lizzie, and I don't doubt that. But you don't love me more than your fear."

"Y/n..."

"Liz, tell me. When are you going to be not afraid of the world? Do you want me to wait for you until you're ready? If you want me to wait... Then tell me until when am I going to wait?"

~Darling, when I'm fast asleep

I've seen this person watching me

Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?"~

"Y/n I LOVE YOU with all my heart and soul but please, don't hurt yourself for someone just like me. My parents arranged me a marriage, I'll be marrying him next month."

"Him?"

"Yes, a Him. Go, I'm letting you go, find someone who can love you openly and is not afraid of the world!"

~Guess there is something, and there is nothing

There is nothing in between

And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer

Watching over me~

"I Love You Liz! And just so you know? I'm still willing to wait for you! I hope that he loves you more than I love you."

~I'm singing

"She's a, she's a lady, and I am not a boy"

I'm singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook~

I didn't notice the tears in my eyes while I'm reminiscing and singing now. The pain, disappointment, and the wish that i have. Oh, how I wish to be a man for her to love me freely. I didn't once doubt her love for me, but I know from the start, that her fear? Her fear is the one that will break us. Am i wrong?

I am so so jealous on the privileges that a straight couple have. Sometimes I think i'm on a wrong body. But no, I love being a female! I love that i can wear dresses and suits, i love being a feminine. Besides that is the reason she fell inlove with me in the first place.

Come to think of it, will she notice me if I am a male?

...

I was about to finish the song when she climbed up on the stage. The guards are running after her while she's running into my direction.

I'm shocked, what is she doing? My song was interrupted when she just hugged me out of nowhere. The guards are about to pull her away from me but I hugged her tight and I shoved the guards away.

The warm that her hugs can give me is so out of this world. I missed her presence, her smell, the feeling of her body on mine. The familiarity that she brings me is so divine!

She pulled away and faced me. Her green orbs is still as hypnotising as ever. Though it's full of tears, she still has the most beautiful eyes in the universe.

"Y/n I'm sorry, please forgive me, I love you and I love you more than anything, please can you forgive me? Give me one last chance to make it up to you!"

Our hands are on each other's cheeks and we're both looking intently on each other's eyes. I wiped her tears with my thumb and nod!

"Ofcourse, I told you, I'll wait for you."

She smiled and crashed her lips into mine but I pulled away remembering something.

"But Lizzie, the crowd? And we are live world wide!"

Her eyebrows cocked and if she is an animation, her eyes right now will be on fire.

"Fuck . Them . and . Just . Kiss . Me!"

hello.

how are you?

my initials are SB and my pronouns are she/her; my preferred gender is he/him and i love fashion, astrology and cats.

thank you. <3

♧♤˚｡ AHA!- finally gotcha ;D~ I've tracked down your energy at long last- and oh my goodness it did not disappoint- the first keyword I heard was "modern romance"- there is like,, this element of innocence and youth to this connection, but there is also elegance and passion. similar to that in romance novels- *Timeless!* that is the adjective I'm looking for!! oh love~ this relationship is one for the books. it's like if one of those classic romance stories we're given a modern adaptation- with elements of individual growth and mundanity included, yet with that same warm glow of genuine human love flowing through each passing phase and scene with grace~ Ok head out of the clouds,- I feel like this might be an Earth/Air connection but with Piscean degrees/influence or smth- OH! Maybe you'll meet each other/be around each other most when Saturn is in Pisces! but anyway, the theme of "new year" was coming through, so you'll meet them during some kind of celebration, where there are themes of "fresh"/"new"... maybe someone here will be freshly moved on from a past relationship? (an example I'm hearing is if this meeting happens years down the line, like late 20s/early 30s and someone might be divorced?)- upon first meeting there will be fireworks- as in, it'll be like one of those classic scenes where before you two can further get to know each other, there'll be some loud interruption (maybe an actual explosion of fireworks 😭). but near right away, there will be a familiar feeling, could be a soul-family feeling, or it's the energy of you two somehow knowing each other since childhood, due to how matching your personalities are to each other, like even the individual parts of both of you that are different/should clash- blend together so perfectly- like- forgive the extra mood board but its giving:

the coloring is little bit much ik, but really if you were to melt down all the worldly/earthly-ness, this is what you'd have, this supercut of a found counterpart... and the thing is- when you find "the person", there's so many more elements to it then just that soul connection, there's chemical differences, and emotional/mental alignments. there are so many in-between times within this "soul-connection"(/whatever you want to call it) *supercut*- this is two humans, just walking this earth together, by choice. because you like each other. this relationship will be built on mutual appreciation/admiration of the other, you'll both look at each other in this- intellectual way, where you see the other as someone you can learn from. and not just that- but someone *safe* that you can learn from. this relationship may help both of you in breaking certain karmic ties/cycles, but that healing and growth won't come from hurting the other- instead, growth will happen through love. not through more pain. now that's not to say there will be no strife, this is a relationship between two humans, as it is between two souls- for example, you two in your shared living space will disagree on whether to get a cat or dog. BAHAH AWW, no but for real- aspects of your domestic life will be one of the few areas of clashing between you two,- but even then, you both are so willing to work together that the worst your disagreements will get will be an eye-roll, a sigh, and taking some space away (across the living room lol) for a few hours (which is fine cause you two are "quality over quantity" when it comes to talking, so taking time independently comes easy). there may be financial stress surrounding where you two will want to live for the long run, and how that ties into your work. there also might be a misunderstanding/clashing at first concerning your person's past, as they may have had difficult previous relationships, but as more trust is built, the more that history is shed... this energy was truly stunning, and an extra message I have for you, and how you'll eventually meet this individual- is trust. you two are meant to find each other! please just keep going forward in your own life, because truly- without even realizing it- you'll turn a corner, and they'll have met you. both of your energies meeting each other halfway, and right where both of you are supposed to be ♡. ☆🎆 *i hope this was helpful my darling ♡~ consider leaving a tip on my Patreon if you enjoyed, or follow and become a violet~ doesnt matter to me tho :>~ sending you on your wayyyy, bye bye!!*

In terms of KK and CK, who is more emotionally mature, Daniel or Terry?

Leaving aside Karate Kid because Daniel is a teenager with extremely repressed grief over his father, the way he pledges himself to Mr. Miyagi, and Terry is a cokehead with ptsd, by CK most of the time they're reasonably well attuned to what modern life wants from two adult men. Terry is right in telling Kreese that he has to stop being petty about so called slights of Miyagi's - the same Miyagi who publicly humiliated them both - and to show restraint. That's pretty mature, as is funelling your excess energy into music and art and wine tasting. Daniel is a good boss and a loving family man if he has trouble parenting his son. Why I love both of them so much is that at their core, they are far more passionate than protestant white culture allows. They're neither of them protestant, I think they'd choke - and I feel quite at ease in both Ireland and Italy myself because people are less likely to tell me not to feel so much. Both Terry and Daniel are very passionate souls and I think they find that attractive in the other. They're also both fascinated by two cultures that are extremely restrictive when it comes to openly showing passion - Korea and Japan. Maybe because that's so ritualised that it's easier to handle; US culture simply randomly calls "Stop!" and you don't know how much emotion is allowed. But Daniel and Terry can match each other in how deeply they feel, that's why they're so explosive.

Now Terry enjoys hurting others, maybe in a perverse bid for connection - he feels that pain is such an integral part of him that anyone he loves needs to share that experience and he'll hurt them himself if he needs to. That or he's always been a sadist, war or no. We don't know but it didn't help, did it? He's aware enough not to inflict any more pain on others because that is simply not appropriate. Maybe he watches pro wrestling to get a fix, maybe he's found an alternative lifestyle with safewords and all, I couldn't say. But he knows 95% of the time it's Not Done and he refrains. That's also quite well adjusted if it is restrictive.

Daniel has also conformed quite strongly. Toned down his accent, his mannerisms, his hairstyle (Ralph is much more expressive!), not much ranting prior to S5. So they both have quite a good sense of how to be a socially acceptable adult and they both have enough wisdom to act like it - moreso than Kreese and Johnny, in my view. But do they know how to throw that out of the window when faced with each other! Daniel could kill a man. He constantly refers to that in film 2 and 3 - "why didn't you kill him? I wish you could have killed him." Of course he'll enter a death match. He always takes on things that are too big for him, and he has a masochistic streak. Terry is right, he likes it! If those two had met without the mind games - omg. It wouldn't have been appropriate to us but they could have made quite the scandalous society couple! They feed a need in each other their country has no place for. That's what makes them so potent. They both know perfectly well how to do Well Adjusted Adult, but they see each other for who and what they are in their dark underbelly.

I feel like Damiko is a good couple because he spurs her on and she calms him down a little, being around each other. Silverusso is interesting because they compliment each other in their dark side and blow each other up. They may be exhausting to be friends with but Terry would really have gone to conquer the world for Daniel. "Baby, I've bought you Guam." "Oh, you shouldn't have." "Anything for y-" "No Terry listen I don't think you should have done that."

to me line without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery reminds me of Halcarol.

"All my emotions feel like explosions when you are around And I've found a way to kill the sound, oh" this is SO halcarol youre so fucking right

[cosmignon]

Psychonautssss

PSYCHONAUTS ON MAIN LETS GOOOO (BC I USUALLY POST ON AQUATO-FAMILY-CIRCUS HAHA)

The first character I first fell in love with: 

AUGUSTUS AQUATO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!! I'd always liked Raz of course, but when I was rewatching the first game to prep for the sequel the last like 20 minutes of it rocked me. the difference between Raz's perception of his dad vs the real deal who's just a well meaning if overprotective father captured me so violently and immediately it felt like I was being jostled around. Plus Augustus has such a cool design and his voice work is so soft yet gruff and kind. He's a delight. Idk what my opinion on the first game would be without him bc it's one of the strongest highlights in the emotions department.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 

It's haaaard to say bc I just liked most of them off the bat but I do think I needed some time for Cassie O'Pia to grow on me. Her level was overstimmulating the first time I played it so I didn't rly appreciate how nice it looked or how cool her archetypes really were. Love her now tho, of course, bc I love all the old people psychics

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

I Don't Care Much for the campers aside from Lili & Dogen. I think they're definitely fun, I've enjoyed a lot of fan work about the individual campers and do have favorites among the ones who Aren't Lili & Dogen (Clem & Crystal, Chloe) but they just don't really compel me much. Same goes for the interns but with them at least I can remember all their names and quirks off the top of my head (bc there's only 6 of them)

The character I love that everyone else hates: 

I think Gristol is an interesting character, I think he's fun! I don't post abt him much bc I get the vibe ppl get annoyed about it? Which is fair, he sucks, I would hit him with a crowbar if he was real. but he's just kind of a pathetic guy once his plans fail. He's fun to talk about and theorize about what in the world could actually make him become a better person or at least have a change of mind like the other antagonists we've been inside the heads of.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Error answer not found

The character I would totally smooch: 

HOLLIS FORSYTHE CALL ME

The character I’d want to be like: 

I wish I had the patience and chill attitude of Milla or the cool big showmanship of Helmut. The brightest and most colorful characters basically !!

The character I’d slap: 

See: Gristol.

A pairing that I love:

Bob Zanotto and Helmut Fullbear are married and in love!! I love those guys so much it is absurd.

My first playthru experience of not expecting any gay content period was one of a kind.

the shift from "Oh Helmut's so obviously queercoded good for him. I hope He and his "Bobby" have some fun friendly guy pal thing going on"

to "Oh He and Bob were GAY gay"

to "ROBERT ZANOTTO YOUR GIANT WEDDING CAKE IS MAKING ME CRY" can not be replicated.

A pairing that I despise: 

Not a big fan of Norma/Frazie! There's cute art of it for sure that I can appreciate but when I'm just alone w/my thoughts I feel like Frazie could do better and Norma needs to work on herself or else they'd have the most explosive teen drama break up ever and make it Everyone's Problem.

Line Without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery is very geraskier vibes,,, geralt @ jaskier,, examples:

“All my emotions feel like explosions when you are around And I've found a way to kill the sound, oh”

“Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you I need you here to stay”

“Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden? Oh, and if I could take it all back I swear that I would pull you from the tide”

“Because there is something and there is nothing There is nothing in-between And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer watching over me He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy" He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a—"”

listen, it has it all. the feelings. the yearning. the regret. the self deprecation. thats geralt.

8. Do you have any OC family trees?

Yes, a few! Although whether or not they count would depend on your definition of OC family tree.

If we're counting ones where a canon character or two is involved, then perhaps my most extensive OC family tree is the one for my Bhaalspawn from the Baldur's Gate saga. As per the epilogue for the Rasaad romance, she has seven kids, and they all go on to do great things, so I created and spent a lot time fleshing out seven kids who are all wildly different combinations of their parents' traits. The first child ends up married to another character I made, who is the son of Solaufein (a major NPC from BG2).

Now if we're not counting canon-involved characters, those things are a bit more limited for me. I do tend to flesh out my characters' families, because of course family is so informative of who a person is, even if they don't have a family, they still came from somewhere. I have a lot of characters who are orphans, but I like having information about why they are orphaned and who their parents were.

13. Which story has the most lore?

Oh damn, this is very hard to gauge, because I love fleshing things out and for any given story, there's always a mountain of backstory, and I try very hard to balance between peppering in that information and sparing my readers from my Tolkien-level aspirations for lore. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I have notebooks filled with fictional languages I've created for my stories.

I think the most in-depth I've gotten with lore for a story was the novel I was working on in my first couple years of college, but I haven't touched it in many years, because I've changed so much as a person, and I feel like I need to rewrite everything I had. It was a Norse mythology inspired story about a dark elf mage who discovers a plot by the Asgardian Empire to destabilize the Elven Republic only recently formed between Ljosalfheim and Svartalfheim. The technology level was like late-19th Century, but powered by magic, so there were floating trains and carriages and shit, and I created the dark elf and light elf languages. I got intense about it. I even consulted my space-enthusiast brother on interesting planetary qualities for the different realms, because I conceived of them as different planets and interplanetary travel was done either through portals or the Asgardian Bifrost technology.

Okay, I'm gonna stop now before I infodump the whole thing.

20. What story are you the proudest of? Why?

At present? Probably The Nightmaven from my series of short stories about my DnD character, Vrae Zilivna. It's the only one that is almost entirely written from another character's perspective and treats her as the villain. It was a lot of fun to write. It's an incredibly messed up story about a couple of incredibly messed up people who have an incredibly messed up relationship, and it was a fun challenge to make that compelling, because the romances I usually write are generally about two very good people who are simply in shitty circumstances, but that is not so here. What happens when you're a resistance informant who accidentally fell in love with a fascist secret cop and your relationship ended in a predictably explosive way after he found out who you really are? Maybe you become a black widow assassin about it and do serial murders of your ex's colleagues while he runs around trying to catch you and having emotional turmoil about it.

Anyway, the part that really elevated this to Best Current Work for me was the embarrassingly large ego boost I got from coming up with the last line.

[yostresswritinggirl]

i just realized this song kinda suits heart!cyno and reader sjskwknsks

reader's perspective:

"I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me

When we're alone

You can hold my hand

If no one's home

Do you like it when I'm away?

If I went and hurt my body, baby

Would you love me the same?

I can feel all my bones coming back

And I'm craving motion

Mama never really learns how to live by herself

It's a curse

And it's growing

You're a pond and I'm an ocean

Oh, all my emotions

Feel like explosions when you are around

And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh"

cyno's perspective:

"Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?

Oh, and if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide"

-line without a hook by ricky montgomery

let me know what you think!

-cyno lovebot anon

Omg I was really gunning for a song that I know and lo and behold, I immediately knew from the first line alone <33 Honestly this is my Cylou anthem

But seeing the freaking lyrics like this- YES I THINK IT SUITS THEM TOO WELL IT'S SCARY, MY CHILD

The part from the line "it's a curse" and the rest actually could be for BOTH I can't believe one of my fave songs somehow worked so well in this extended universe ahahahaha the theme song for the whole fic is actually Die For You by Valorant for the actual fic, and Die For You - Joji or I Can't Handle Change - ROAR for the aftermath!

Man I really need a list of songs for my fics, a playlist of some sorts

[seahdalune]

it may be just my 2 am sleep deprived brain but i just had a weird match on TF2

i was assigned to be on Pier but there was like barely any people in it... at some point it was just me and some Engie.

instead of being sensible people and quitting out we both just stuck around, didn't really fight, and we just did our own things. i landed on top of the cart, then i started dancing on the cart, the Engie putting a teleporter down on the rails to see what would happen (it exploded as soon as the Payload went over it, RIP)...

then i fell off the Payload and wasn't able to get on it again because i still have no idea how crouch jumping works, lmao,

i decided to just kinda hold truce by turning on my Mannrobics taunt and we had fun. went around a few arches.

Suddenly though! i was shot! not by the Engie, he was still dancing. but his Sentry, right around the corner!

it was awkward for a split second. no one was dancing, and suddenly everything was super quiet.

before the Engie went to his Sentry and.... deactivated it? woah, really? for me?

then he approached me, looked at me up and down, as if to kinda ask "are you ok, stranger?"

{maybe it was that he didn't have visible eyes, so i could just assume whatever.

...no but i swear though, i could feel the sorriness from whoever was controlling that Engie.)

all i could really say was

i resumed my dancing, but....

oh, ok. ok then.

i just stayed in the map even after the Engie disconnected. i mean, yeah i did want to explore this place anyways. i've been busy fighting. i can just... take a stroll. no biggie.

it felt weird.

turns out when there aren't any grown men (and Pyros) with guns and explosives and all sorts of hoo-ha's, the whole place gets real quiet. almost liminal space, even.

(oh hey, one buzzword down)

this is where the 1 am brain comes in. because i felt super melancholy... lonely, actually. i looked at all the stuff i could see, swam around, found a secret rest area around one of the canals.

but all i could think was, "man, what if that Engie was there?"

ok don't get me wrong it does sound stalkerish. at some point i found a boat and was like "i could've sat there with the Engie :(".

but y'know, staying for 3 minutes couldn't have hurt.

with nothing but silence and ocean noise accompanying me in the tour, it just made me reflect a little. how i enjoy the TF2 experience, my newly-sprung rather horrifying spending habit on cosmetic cases, why i'm running around as a funny German man when i should be asleep.

how lonely i am when playing TF2.

that despite how many people surround me in matches, i never feel quite happy, how much i resent the others. and how much i rely on the noise to keep my depression at bay, despite my emotions.

i sat in the boat until the match was over.

i mean, maybe i was hoping the system brings in people or something.

to sit with, maybe. i dunno.

and then i was thrown to round 2 and had to disconnect my own damn self! and proceeded to scuttle to Tumblr and write for 30 minutes!

anyways i should sleep. just one more match...
