tag dumb,  the sequel.

@tiberiusmadhouse​ | MR. J (CULT VERSE)

college is a time DISCOVERY, like most students her age she was CURIOUS. growing up, harleen wouldn’t call herself a religious person. FAITH was nonexistent when looking at the hand of cards she was dealt with. she was more inclined to thank LUCK for her turning out to be a DECENT human being than she would WHOEVER was upstairs pulling the strings. 

and yet, here she was FROZEN in the middle of gotham universities quad, completely MESMERIZED by the man before her. they were outdoors but it felt like he still possessed the ability to suck the air out of the space around them. his words were true gotham was LOST and it was about time someone came through as its SAVIOR. his words replayed in her mind like a BROKEN record, clinging to her soul as if they were GOSPEL.

as the crowd dispersed, most of them ready to write him off as LOON. hands that’d grown sweaty clutch her textbook tightly to her chest, harleen finding the will to move to forward..finally.

                              “’scuse me.” her voice is SOFT, the nervousness beginning to kick in as if she’s in the presence of a GOD. “You’re amazin’...” the words leave her mouth ABSENTMINDEDLY, a flush appearing on her cheek. “I mean you -- your words, I’ve never heard anything like it before.”

I’m glad people are circling back to the pre-romantice era of Percabeth because friendship makes up o so so much of their interesting dynamics.

What I feel is deeply neglected in the original story is the sins of our fathers and the “you’re on the wrong side and therefore my mortal enemy” aspect the books truly could have.

Athena and Poseidon’s quarrel gets talked about, yes, but there are little to no consequences which cheapen the impact this dichotomy of “I hate you, this hereditary enmity stands between us but we still need to save the world” would have. We get literally nothing from Poseidon (I mean I tried to do my own version of Poseidon threatening Annabeth the same way Athena did to Percy in a fic, no, don’t look it up, it’s horrible) and Athena’s essentially saying, “Not on my watch, boy!”

However, it feels more like a typical “You’re a boy, therefore stay away from her!” And not a “You’re my mortal enemy’s child, sleep with one eye open or else I’ll stab you in your sleep!”

The fact that little to nothing happens (is convenient for the already packed plot but) makes sense, however it could definitely be more explored.

Makes sense for Annabeth and Percy to sorta brush their parents issues aside as a) there are little to no consequences (we don’t really know much of Poseidon’s stance on Annabeth) and b) they have to work with each other but what if they didn’t drop the act in TLT but continue a frenemy relationship? Until TTC or so?

I mean that’s some ground for tension and continuously interesting group dynamics. I mean imagine jealous BOTL!Annabeth but she’s not even really friends with Percy and has no rights to claim him in anyway but still ain’t here for it?? For Rachel??

What if the outside was more unforgiving to Annabeth and Percy (well more focused on Annabeth, Percy definitely gets some flag (then again more so in the beginning of the story, as to “Poseidon’s not wanted kiddo”, things with Zeus do calm down, Hades is absolutely not here for it, love it), not because they’re demigods but specifically because they’re children of Poseidon and Athena?

The initial conflict gets really brushed off, considering what Poseidon and Athena each did to Medusa. They’re both horrible for different reasons. Should fatal flaws mirror/derive from gods to their descendants (Percy’s definitely got assigned the wrong one), this could play sooo incredibly much into Annabeth’s hubris for an instance.

Her mother’s prejudice clouding her vision?? Ugh. POWERFUL.

This is certainly something to be built upon and to be explored, although it would shift the entire setting and the back and forth of the both might get tiring in the long term. And don’t mind me, I like the friends to lovers trope as well.

Ugh… I don’t know, I just love the sins of our fathers dynamic (even though it’s in this case just a broader version of enemies to lovers).

@schneeisms​ asked: 17. a song that makes my muse think of your muse

music meme // accepting !!

Warrior by Beth Crowley. Okay, so ignoring the intended romantic connotations of this song, it has excellent energy for the Sisters Schnee -- the way that Winter always tries to push Weiss to be stronger, but is also made stronger by Weiss.

Teach me how to fight I'll show you how to win You're my mortal flaw And I'm your fatal sin Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn Under my skin

Put me to the test I'll prove that I'm strong Won't let myself believe That what we feel is wrong I finally see what You knew was inside me all along That behind this soft exterior Lies a warrior

Current WIP/ Drabbles list

So, I have a day in my writing schedule that is dedicated to working on stories not Altered Reality, Healing Hands, Heart in a Silver Cage, or Losing Control, but I have so many that’s it’s hard to choose. I went through and made a massive list of the current projects that I have (and realized I need to complete more and jump around less). Everything on this list is at least over a thousand words and most are considerably more than that. 

I kind of wanted to open this up to see if any of these descriptions get my followers excited in the ‘omg tell me more, why isn’t this finished yet’ way because there is only so much time each day to work on things. If you see something you want to know more about or really want to see me post sooner rather than later, please, Please, PLEASE inbox me (you can even use Anon to do so) or reply or reblog or whatever. I want to work on things that other people will be excited about too. It’s no fun alone. I mean it kind of is, but feedback is the best and if you’re excited you’re more likely to comment and engage. 

Works are below the cut because I have zero self control and the list is long. Keep in mind this is nowhere near the full amount of stories I have in docs, only the ones that are well developed and/or written or close to being finished (or have a chapter or more if it’s a long story)  

Big Stories (things that would be split into multiple chapters/parts):

Naruto:

Clean - KakaSaku, Sakura comes back to the village with an infant daughter and a big secret, one that she’s sworn never to tell even if it makes her life miserable. This is a study on the things we do for love, even when it hurts us. This story also has some previous SasuSaku undertones

Dark Side of the Moon - KakaSaku, this is basically the flip side of Altered Reality. Kakashi lived in a happy world and is suddenly thrust into a reality where nearly everyone he cares about is dead and he’s in a relationship with Sakura. With everything upside down, can he figure out what happened and get back to his family before it’s too late? Or should he move on with the new normal?

Here With You - Kakasaku, A 10k follow on to my oneshot Distraction which is mutual pining (and mutual self pleasure while thinking of the other). Kakashi and Sakura are tired of dancing around their feelings for each other, but neither knows what to do about it. With a little help from Ino, Genma, and maybe some alcohol, they’ll figure it out. 

Mortal Flaw, Fatal Sin - KakaSaku (with a heavy dose of anti-SasuSaku, Sasuke really does come across evil in this one) Sakura returns to Konoha after over a year with little to no contact with anyone. Pregnant and alone, she turns to Kakashi to try and figure out what to do with her life and tempers flare when the truth starts to come out. (this one will have a lot of trigger warnings, it’s a dark take on SasuSaku)

Run to You  - Jiraiya/Tsunade, snippets of their lives through the second war and forward (Niwaki’s death, Dan’s, the first time they hook up (because let’s face it, it happened)

Shattered - This starts as a SasuSaku morphs into a KakaSaku and NaruSasu. After the war, Sasuke is held in prison in Konoha for treason. Kakashi is Hokage and he didn’t ask for this mess with his former team, and he certainly didn’t ask to start developing feelings for Sakura as she’s doing her best to save Sasuke from himself. 

She is the Sunlight - KakaSaku, Sakura is unhappy with life in the village after the war (and Sasuke) and wants something more than just her medical work at the hospital. Eventually she latches onto the idea of Anbu which Kakashi strongly opposes because he wants to protect her from the horrors of it. (this is actually a combination of two stories I have where Kakashi catches the feels and doesn’t know what to do about it and Sakura kind of self-destructs before he figures it out)

Starting Over - Kakayama, Tenzo doesn’t know what to do with himself after the war and ends up helping at the hospital. When an orphaned infant isn’t doing well, Tenzo puts in some extra effort and maybe falls in love with the idea of being a dad if only he can convince Kakashi that it’s a good idea. 

Overwatch:

Empire - Gabriel centric, dealing with his pre army life with his family, initiation into a gang, conversion to the army, marriage and daughter, then ending at SEP. This is a wild ride from start to finish honestly. 

Through the Glass - Genji/Mercy, their time during his recovery after Overwatch saved his life, then probably reconnecting later as an epilogue. 

(You Held the Gun that) Fired First - Reaper76, starting with the founding of Overwatch, the slow decay of Jack and Vincent’s relationship, the chaos of Jack and Gabe together, ending sometime around the start of the game probably. I’m not planning to follow canon heavily but there will be a lot of stuff happening here including but not limited Jack planning to ask Vincent to marry him, a massively public break-up, Vincent gets attacked and nearly killed, Ana’s death, the explosion. Honestly I haven’t decided on the ending point yet 

Drabbles (smaller, one shots that don’t need additional chapters, probably): 

Naruto

Beautiful, Perfect Disaster - KakaSaku, all the tension between them finally snaps into a first kiss that might be the start of something wonderful 

Blame it on the Blood Loss - KakaIru, When Kakashi and Iruka go on a mission together, the latter is badly injured and rambles confessions he never meant to share

Innocence - KakaSaku, Kakashi and Sakura have been dating for a while when she shocks him by admitting she’s never been with anyone before and wants him to be her first (and last), not going to lie, this is mostly smut 

Interrupted Affections - KakaSaku, Kakashi and Sakura have just started dating and the days on missions without being able to touch is killing both of them. Sneaking away from Tenzo and Naruto, they try to find a little alone time to reconnect. It goes about as well as expected 

Let It Go - NaruSasu,in which Naruto tries to convince Sasuke to stay in the village and Sasuke has some convincing reasons on why he shouldn’t 

Letting Go - Kakayama, set in their Anbu days where Tenzo pays the ultimate price to save Kakashi’s life and Kakashi goes a little crazy as a result 

Memories and Hope - Genma/Kakashi, on the anniversary of Minato’s death Genma and Kakashi realize they have more in common than they realized. 

Saying Goodbye - Kakayama, Tenzo reflects on all the could have beens at Kakashi’s funeral 

Shadows and Sunlight - KakaSaku and NaruSasu, This is a follow on to my story Lightning and Starlight (in which Sasuke uses chidori on Sakura on the bridge when she tried to kill him, aka Kakashi got there too late). It follows the fallout of that day when everyone catches feels and realizes relationships are complicated

Surprise Advances - Tenzo/Anko, a train wreck mission leads this unlikely pair to fall into bed together (a spin off from Heart in a Silver Cage)

The Monster You Made - Kakashi/Obito, after the war (in which Obito doesn’t die, obviously) Kakashi saves Obito from execution for his crimes and realizes that he has some unresolved feelings for the teammate that he thought he’d lost years ago. 

The Photograph - Tenzo/Obito (set in Altered Reality universe) where an Anbu mission makes Tenzo rethink his opinion of his captain 

The Story of Your Scars - Kakayama, this is a follow on to Find Me in the Dark (in which Tenzo was captured and tortured by Orochimaru) where Kakashi tries to help Tenzo deal with the trauma of it 

Undone - Kakashi centric, young Kakashi wakes up in the hospital after his failure to save Rin (honestly this is about the shattering of Minato and Kakashi’s relationship) 

Undressed - KakaYama, Kakashi comes home broken up after a mission and Tenzo helps him remove his armor, in more ways than one

Overwatch

First Impressions - Reaper76, after the SEP injections which Jack has a difficult time with and Gabe helps him get through 

Shattered - Vincent learns about the explosion at the Swiss HQ and that Jack is missing in it 

War is Hell - Reaper76, the fallout after another bad Blackwatch mission where Jack is left picking up the pieces 

Other

Apocalyptic - Genma/Fynta (swtor crossover) where Genma is trapped in the Star Wars universe just trying to survive (co-written with Cinlat)

ok i’m back with more... “i will love you until we run out of mornings. then i will love you in the dark” / “i would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul, than enter heaven without you. because of your love, i will never be a lonely spirit” / “i am self destructive. it’s the way i’ve always been” “and why do you think that is?” “because it is easier to destroy something you love than it is to watch it leave” / “maybe tragedy is loving someone so much it’s impossible to do the right thing” / “i miss you. can i say that?” / “and the only time we’ve held hands is when i threw a punch and you caught it” / “i went to the riverbed to wait for you to show up. you didn’t show up. i kept waiting” / “make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face” / “i will never leave him. it will be this, always, for as long as he will let me” / “and you realize the one person in the world who loves you isn’t the one you thought it would be” / “i cannot hide myself from you. i cannot hide my heart from my heart” / “love will be the thing that saves and destroys them both” / “i love you. i love you. i love you. but not loud enough” / “you do this, you do. you take the things you love and tear them apart” / “we’re so much joined in the flesh that strangers feel the pain if we stop touching” / “i loved you as icarus loved the sun — too close, too much” / “someone has to leave first. this is a very old story. there is no other version of this story” / “don’t make a noise, don’t leave the room until i come back from the dead for you. i will come back from the dead for you” / “am i foolish for wanting this? it will end in flames. it always does. maybe i like the way it feels to burn” / “faith. feel it in your mouth. roll it around your tongue. it feels new. you now have faith. so what did you do with your faith? you placed it on the man who just lost his” / “we make each other alive. does it matter if it hurts?” / “they’d never been lovers, of course, not in the physical sense. but they’d been lovers as most of us manage, loving through expressions and gestures and the palm set softly upon the bruise at the necessary moment. lovers by inclination rather than by lust. lovers, that is, by love” / “you’re my mortal flaw and i’m your fatal sin” / “i have been burned to smoke and ash for the ones i have loved. i have been devoured, slowly, then spat back out. and probability suggests you are likely to ruin me too. but here, have my heart. take it. i’d like you to” / “stay, will you? it’s all i’ve ever wanted”

WOW that was long i’m sorry 😳

HOW are these all so accurate... and don't get me started on the ones about death, because— i will lose it

ADDT’L VERSE TAG DROP

[miharusilver]

I just finished reading Tower of God by SIU (Which is over 400+ chapters) in a week. And I've got to say, when I first started reading it back in 2016, its come a long way from where it all started. The plot is extremely complex, yes, but at the same time it's very appealing to most readers. Plus I may have adopted two of the main characters, Bam and Khun, because both are my favorite type of character. An innocent that doesn't back down and the cunning mastermind that follows the angel like a puppy. In honor of those two and SIU, I decided to write a simple poem of my feelings. I've taken the title from line in the song by Beth Crowley "Warrior-Remix" (the line in italics) and I think this song really fits them. If you get the chance, check her out here.

"When we first met,

I knew not what trust really was.

I was a devil from a house of devils.

There was nothing I wouldn't do to win.

I did not fear the darkness around me.

When we first met,

You sparkled like a jewel in the sun.

Bright and unwavering in your path to her.

I wanted to be the one to take you to her.

Now, I just want to stand beside you.

Be the one who can support you the most.

Be the moon in your darkened night sky.

When you forget, I will remind you.

You are no god, nor a monster.

Now, I will protect you from your loneliness.

I will face this darkness around you,

And be unyielding to anyone but you.

Because you are precious to me.

Because you're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin."

Its written in Khun's point of view and I hope I did it (and him) justice. I hope everyone likes it!

[whyamistillwatchingtheseshows]

There is a song called Warrior by Beth Crowley and it’s increasingly becoming my favorite WangXian song even over A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. Warrior really captures that soulmate feeling, if not encompassing that inner turmoil Lan Zhan put up with 13-16 years. We all know that Lan Zhan is a warrior. There’s no doubt about it and while listening to this song it’s completely from his POV, except when we get to the chorus because that’s when it becomes synonymous. It becomes one or like a bridge between a past life and a new life. 

Verse 1

You fascinated me

Cloaked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

Yes, so LZ is an angel too. We witnessed that through everyone’s gawking eyes at the entrance of his home, but then we see this man on the rooftop, breaking the rules. Tipping everything on its axis even more than NH’s tricks. Everything changes with the draw of a sword from the other pissed off angel. 

I ventured carefully

Afraid of what you thought I'd be

But pretty soon I was entangled

After the discovery and promise they made in the ice cave, Lan Zhan had to face the inevitable. He got roped into his games, in fact, starting some of those fights, and soon enough he was pining. He was falling in love and boy did that realization sink in as if he were smacked with bricks.

You take me by the hand

I question who I am

Basically, we zoom ahead in this war. Lan Zhan has always been questioning the moment he met Wei Ying. His feelings were already well out of hand, his doubts too...and either WWX was an oblivious idiot or a clever one who toyed with them...what’s the name of the song, Lan Zhan? WangXian. LZ will never know until later if WWX was ever aware of the name. But wait...we’re still in the past life...

Chorus

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

They’re equally matched, since they met. LZ’s big bro even takes pleasure in this. Someone his little bro can befriend, if not more the oh wise one already can see...but I venture to say this is what they taught each other though, a skilled partnership, a practiced dance, think of when they fought the Dancing Fairy, Turtle Cave, or even at the end when WWX made himself bait…

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain

The burn

Under my skin

Put me to the test [WWX is and always will be LZ test. He can’t help it whether he gets punished for any of it later on...but that doesn’t matter. WWX has been missing 3 months.]

I'll prove that I'm strong

Won't let myself believe

Oh, no. He’s devolving. Oh no, I want this to be him, because I want him found. I want him safe. This devastation... This darkness that shrouds them as they get closer to whoever is taking out the Wen Clan posts. It can’t be. Oh, no, it is my love. He’s changing. I can feel it. Has everything changed? Well, at first he turned me away...

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what

You knew was inside me

All along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior 

Truthfully he looks like a martyr and we do know in the live action there was second flute, but heaven knows if he just let LZ work the magic early on with calming music...or if everyone hadn’t been shunning him or if maybe he made different choices too...I’m all alone, who cares if I make this decision. How wrong you are implicit warrior....because there was one who wanted to keep a hold of the thread...

My memory refused

To separate the lies from truth

And search the past

My mind created

I kept on pushing through

Standing resolute with you

After this selfish move on his lover’s part, LWJ takes a stand at Burial Mounds and so...

In equal measure

Loved and hated

You take me by the hand

I'm seeing who I am

Chorus Repeat (Teach me how fight....I’ll show you how to win...)

Last Verse (New Beginning) 

 The pictures come to life

Wake in the dead of night

Open my eyes

I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight

Think how many nights he played Inquiry before Sword Ghost/Wei Ying’s resurrection was put into action giving him bittersweet hope...

Brace myself for the fight

I've heard that seeing

Is believing

Now, you must go listen to the song. If I’ve biased your opinion hopefully it is for the best, because this song just screams SOULMATES, that whole we’ve become ONE, but not without fighting, not without TEACHING one another, always together as one...as

WARRIORS in love. 

[raynes-musings]

    You’re my mortal flaw

                  And I’m your fatal sin.

[sweet-sammy-kisses]

Warrior by Beth Crowley is such a Wincest/Weecest song.

You fascinated me

Cloaked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully

Afraid of what you thought I'd be

But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand

I question who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain

The burn

Under my skin

Put me to the test

I'll prove that I'm strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I finally see what

You knew was inside me

All along
