#(( I DON'T EVEN WRITE THIS JACKASS AS A MUSE HOW THE FUCK ?!?!?! ))

[gintrinsic-writing]

Hi there. I always read fics where Warriors doesnt know that Time is Mask. But i was thinking why not the reverse? Children don't have that strong of a memory. So although Time remembers the Captain from the war and how much he meant to him, he didn't quite make the connection that he and Wars are one and the same. Meanwhile Wars over here is very proud of his little brother and also constantly trying to offer him hugs and giving him like a bedtime or something and Time is like ???

Do with prompt what you like, maybe when time finally makes the connection.

Also it's totally alright if you don't feel like writing it, no pressure. <3

Sorry this is uhhhhh two years late, Anon. I made it a little silly. :)

--

It was probably the scarring, Warriors mused, idly thumbing the thickened tissue that pulled at his nose and lips. No matter how prettily he attempted to smile, his expression bore a perpetual grimace. It didn't seem fair, but that was life, after all. The end of the war hadn't quelled any of the resentment from those who believed that the Hero should've been quicker, or smarter, or stronger; if anything, the peace that had followed merely gave them time to redirect their ire, and their blades. Warriors hadn't been able to feel his right cheek for nearly a year.

He imagined the length of his hair didn't help the situation either. It was longer, now, and it curled around his jaw if he didn't apply any product. Warriors rather liked it like that, maybe especially because of the way it looked nothing like the practical cut he'd sported during the war.

But still, surely Time recognized him. Yes, he'd gained a few healthy pounds, and he cared about things like moisturizers and conditioners when he'd never before had the chance to, but goddesses above, the scarf was pretty recognizable, and so was his "annoying, posh-ass accent," or so he'd believed.

He certainly remembered Mask, regardless of the decades that must've passed for the other hero.

But they'd been traveling together for days at this point, all nine of them, and Time's countenance revealed not even a semblance of familiarity whenever he looked Warriors's way. And that was...

Well, not great.

So Warriors waited for the right time, and when the younger heroes went off on some questionable exploration of a something called a "fire fruit orchard," he sidled up to the Hero of Time with the closest thing he could manage to a grin. "Portals," he began with a conspiring wink, "am I right?"

Time didn't seem to share his amusement. Not even for camaraderie's sake. "Are you not going to follow the others?"

"No, they'll be fine." Probably. Mostly. "I figured you and I should take the time to talk."

"Hm." Time busied himself with cleaning the back of one of his gauntlets. The metal practically gleamed already. "About what?"

Not one to be deterred, Warriors stepped closer. "It's only right that we get to know each other. Call it bonding, or... unmasking." He paused, waiting to see if the joke connected, and he couldn't help but lean forward to bump their shoulders together just like he'd done to Mask dozens of times during the war.

Somehow, he ended up on his ass. Literally.

"Not interested," Time answered flatly, drawing his leg back as if he hadn't just stepped aside and tripped Warriors with it.

A blushed warmed one side of Warriors's face, and he cleared his throat. Belatedly, he remembered to stand up. "I only meant--"

"I know what you meant." Time held up his left hand. A plain silver ring decorated his fourth finger. "But I'm taken, jackass."

"That's--I didn't--Mask--"

"Try that euphemism one more time, and I promise you won't experience a single peaceful night on this goddess forsaken journey."

Warriors stared, and for once, Time stared back. The look in his eye was fucking terrifying. Warriors couldn't help but admire the man, even if his skin crawled from the intensity of that stare. After what felt like one of the most dangerous moments of his life, he finally sighed and threw up his hands. "Do you truly not remember me, you brat?"

Time blinked, then narrowed his eye. "Should I?" As if it was a threat!

"Captain Link?" Warriors tried, drawling a little out of frustration. "Time travel? The War Across the Ages? Any of that ring a bell?"

For a moment, it seemed like Time had truly forgotten, then his jaw dropped; the stupidity of the look suited him. "Captain?"

"Nayru's sake, yes!" Warriors scoffed, feeling his scarred lip catch briefly. "I can't believe it took you so--Oof!"

He ended up on his ass again. This time, Time was on the ground with him. All things considered, it wasn't the worst hug he'd ever received. Not by far.

This will more than likely get deleted, I don't want this setting a general mood for my blog but I will be turning off anon for a bit today. I don't know where these anons are coming from, I don't know who's sending them but I will only say this once. Who and what I ship, is not some type of crime. Love is love to me, i could give less a fuck if it's a man and a man or a woman with a woman, or whatever. I was raised in the backwaters of a old married grandparent couple where all I ever heard was how things were done back then (don't even ask me to share what i think is wrong with half the world now in this race to top dog). I started the ygo fandom with no idea what the ships were, who was with who, or whatever entailed. I just looked at 5ds aki and yusei and that was the first time i really thought 'oh hey thats cute' then never looked any further. I'm exploring, I'm learning. I want to encourage others to look at other cultures, other languages, I'm trying to use what tools I can to spread what I know and I am okay with being told im wrong in a constructive way, not an outright bashing upon me like you want to take a metal bat to my skull. I will never claim to have a full understanding of other cultures or history, i wasn't there to watch it happen, i wasnt there when it was written. All I can do is scour through the internet and hope what I learn can encourage others to see the beauty in more cultures and languages beyond all the bad history. Now. Shipping. Idk what the fuck you anons mean when you say I've fallen into the cliche? Which cliche? The one ship I have that's Spiritshipping? This was talked about and plotted, it wasn't just something that happened overnight. Season 3 and 4 had a lot of stuff that I would LOVE to see changed, considering how it felt like they slapped Johan in just for the damsel in distress trope tbh and I feel like the new cast and main cast could have been done so much more justice, there is a lot that i feel the writers tripped on the rug and might as well have eaten it. But there is good amongst it as well. In no way am I trying to set the stage as a spiritshipper? That ship only sailed because of my bond with that mun and my enjoyment of writing with them, plus the chemistry of our muses. I will not have Johan have any feelings for other Judai's or push that onto them. If i reference these feelings, they go to ONE Judai. If I have to start making specific tags I will. But honestly I don't feel like I should be yelled at for writing something I enjoy. Writing is not a sport, it's a hobby, it's not my job. It's my fucking free therapy now get the fuck out of my inbox you jackasses.

[blcssom]

ok ok ok i'm reasonably caught up on drafts (single digits baby 😎) which means it's time for me to fill it with n e w things :' ))))

like this for a short starter (possibly usfw) from one of the below muses i'm itching to write atm !!! i'll come to you for muse preference <3

anthony allen (46) - financial consultant | bisexual | luke kirby fc a very high powered man in the conference room but an absolute pathetic simp when it comes to relationships !!! never above getting on his knees and begging for the approval of whoever's giving him affection.... may be a lil touch starved

beau greer (32) - librarian/cam boy | bisexual | drew starkey fc comes across very serious and quiet due to the nature of his work but absolutely unhinged in his free time xoxox naturally self-destructive and constantly pushing boundaries (sexually, emotionally, physically, etc.) just to see if he can !! live fast die young yk the drill

brianne barlowe (30) - personal stylist | bisexual | sarah catherine hook fc absolutely too rich to be kind to anyone not worshipping her !!! blonde rich bitch w/ a god complex and a tendency to act out when she's bored (which is pretty often) - approach at your own risk

carmen navarro (24) - exotic dancer | bisexual | nicole wallace fc former white trash turned would-be prima ballerina !!! unfortunately couldn't keep up w/ the $$$ for her lessons so she made a quick pivot to stripping as one does <333 never lost that ego tho very much thinks she's more talented than any other girl in the room, takes her dancing VERY seriously but also throws fits when things don't go her way whoops

declan bain (52) - ghost writer | bisexual | ewan mcgregor fc former child prodigy turned recluse !! absolutely hates socializing or being perceived in general so he switched from writing his own books to writing other people's xox very observant tho somehow manages to capture the human experience v well despite never participating !! also touch starved (shocker)

kiara obi (28) - caterer | bisexual | ayo edebiri fc big time frantic hummingbird energy this girl CANNOT sit still for the life of her. always moving/talking/walking f a s t and doesn't really make time for anyone to keep up w/ her.... unsurprisingly very socially awkward and blunt and doesn't understand why that's a problem :' )))

lenore acosta (35) - seamstress | bisexual | nathalie emmanuel fc very holistic very peace love and joy..... also v clingy and maybe not the best w/ boundaries (i.e. she doesn't respect them) but like !!! so cute so sunshine until she keys your car bc you didn't text her back for forty-five minutes even though she knows you read it <333

luca rosen (48) - priest/con-man | heterosexual | jon bernthal fc think harold hill a la the music man genuinely just moves from town to town looking for a way to scam as many people as possible and get the fuck outta dodge before they can catch on <333 currently working as a priest and he likes corrupting his flock almost as much as he likes pocketing the collection plate at the end of his 'sermon'

marcella locardi (40) - entertainment lawyer | bisexual | cristin milioti fc VERY good at what she does god can this woman argue.... absolutely not above pulling underhanded stunts in court for her clients and subsequently has never lost a case !! and if she sleeps with a client here or there or everywhere what of it??? genuinely believes the rules do not apply to her (might even think she's immortal??? depends if she's taken her meds)

remi tahara (27) - twitch streamer | bisexual | nico hiraga fc just a DOPE a loser a sweet puppy..... does what he's told without questioning it bc people are usually right and he's usually wrong!!! went viral for doing jackass level stunts his chat suggested which is not his f a v o r i t e thing but he loves how excited the audience gets when he's streaming from the ER so.......... he's gonna keep doin it

taran lowe (22) - vagabond/photographer | bisexual | louis partridge fc very laurie (little women) coded he's just coasting on his late grandad's money and traveling the world collecting lovers like infinity stones (and somehow dodging stds ??? lord knows how) very much comes and goes as he pleases and doesn't get why that's an issue !!!! will probably never love anyone as much as he loves himself his freedom but he sure is convincing w/ those flowery promises he likes to handout

[aranostra]

ooc // Okay now that I've had some sleep (not enough, but some), I feel like I need to clarify some stuff for the Interview with the Vampire crowd. (I'm pretty sure that anon I got was somebody from the tags, not a mutual but... I still want to clarify for everyone.)

First, when I'm talking about characterization etc, I'm talking about the show. I write my iwtv muses from the show.

I am going to be critical of Lestat on this blog. It is not because I hate him or because I think he's the only one who does anything bad in the series. I might go a little harder on him, because fandom in general often likes to ignore what he does wrong, but please understand. I first read iwtv and tvl when I was 10 years old. I have loved Lestat that whole time. He is actually my favorite in the books. Being critical isn't an attack on him or anyone who likes him, it is just part of how I enjoy media.

Criticizing Lestat doesn't mean I think Armand or Louis or anyone else in the Vampire Show is innocent. They are fucking vampires, my guys. Especially Armand. He is like... the embodiment of sexual and religious trauma. He holds to doctrine that harms others. He lies and manipulates. I explain why he does what he does, because I know he can be difficult to understand, because he does some horrific things. I just won't pretend that he is the only character who's caused harm.

That said, I'm not going to pretend Lestat didn't do any of the terrible things he did to Louis. I'm not going to pretend Louis deserved any of it. Louis can be difficult and Louis has very deep depressive episodes and Louis has some issues he has not dealt with but... he did not deserve how Lestat treated him.

Also not pretending Armand didn't do anything terrible to Louis. They were more mutually terrible to each other, in my opinion, but terrible nonetheless. Yes, Armand was heavily involved with the trial, but I see no evidence in show canon that the scenario was very much like the book--and I see some evidence of big changes from the book. Lestat doesn't seem weak, and he doesn't seem to lift a finger to stop what's happening before it starts even though he knew what was going on enough for there to have been multiple rehearsals. Lestat and Armand could've stopped it at basically any time--Louis destroyed the whole coven when he'd just been half starved. You can't tell me Armand and Lestat, who are both more powerful, couldn't have done the same if they wanted. Armand and Lestat let the trial happen. They let Claudia die. They are equally culpable in my opinion. Of course, the show might retcon due to the nature of storytelling etc, but from what evidence we have, that is what I believe happened.

Lastly, Lestat (or anybody else) does not need to be fully in the right and good and pure and perfect to be a great fucking character. I love these characters. A lot. Enough to put up with years in and around a fandom I find very stressful and occasionally triggering. I literally own 5 versions of The Vampire Lestat. There's a reason I have tons of threads with Lestat writers. I love that egotistical jackass. Just... please know that I'm not going to ignore his faults, and I'm not going to twist everybody else's characterization to justify Lestat's nonsense.

Anyway, please feel free to talk to me directly if you want to talk out characterization things. I don't mind disagreeing; I just don't like responding to anons about this kind of thing given some of the shit that's happened in this fandom over the last 10+ years.

☯☾☢☂★ !!

sweeter munday. // @chapeliier currently accepting

☯ Do you believe you’re a forgiving person?

i do want to say i am, sometimes too forgiving - but i think a lot of it stems from the way i grew up and the friend groups i had especially online. i was always the youngest, even in my family, so i was often picked on and teased a lot, never taken seriously and when i was serious and fed up i was always a bad person in return. still, there's been multiple times where i've forgiven too many times to people in my life who probably didn't deserve it.

☾ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation?

usually?? towards work, but that's because i have to most of the time. i run a store with mostly teenagers/young adults in the evening and most of them go to school with each other. there's drama, there's mishaps and y'know - we work with the public. but my life is not?? that interesting. i don't interact with many people, especially in groups - not since before covid at least. i will always try to diffuse before things escalate though, but that's my anxiety and i know i'll get overstimulated and ugly if i'm pushed. i am very much the type of person where you need to leave alone for me to think and be rational otherwise i'm gonna fuck your entire day up and be unapologetic about it.

☢ What calms you down after negativity?

i've learned, be it healthy or not, is just to isolate. i like to be alone, i'll go through my youtube history and play some old videos, or maybe pull up a game and just kinda forget to exist. again, kind of stems from the fact that i was everyone's jackass to kick around until it bit back. i internalize...a lot. my best friend doesn't know, my own mother doesn't know. i don't think anyone really understands how much shit i've gone through besides myself and it's mostly just through the emotional abuse and neglect i had growing up.

☂ What’s your best RP experience?

lord i think?? it'll always be the small little makai fandom that existed before covid. makai was never BIG- which i find to be such a huge mistake lmao. but i LOVED writing dantalion, i still do even if i really don't anymore. he's on my blog for a reason, because he's just that muse i can never let go of. kinda like what break is for you, that's dantalion for me. he's always been my comfort canon chara and a lot of that was because that fandom was always sweet for as small as it was and still welcomed newcomers - no one was left out. i just also adored how it brought so many different types of religion and mythology together because christianity wanted to take over all religions?? and those who fell often became nephilim by giving up their soul to become another being.

★ What fandom do you consider welcoming?

again, makai like i mentioned earlier when it was around. i think the obey me fandom was pretty chill? there wasn't TOO much drama from what i saw - but again like most fandoms i join pretty late. but that's?? where i met you again even?? after like years of ph dying out and the fandom growing up and out of tumblr. i made a lot of friends and mutuals from obey me and still do whenever those idiots come out to play.

[luciaintheskyainthi]

Despite having Spideyhood on main, I'm an equal opportunity shipper and @awhoreintheory and I have discussed Spider-Man x Nightwing and this is what I wanna see so if someone could write this for me cause I'd be very happy but bbygurl I DO NOT have time for it 😭😭😭 do y'all know how much brain space ECM takes up? It's like, a good 70% and the rest is work, gardening and cats.

So, Spider-Man and Nightwing have a rivalry. They (mistakenly or not) think the other is a jackass. Spider-man thinks Nightwing has a stick up his ass; Nightwing thinks Spider-Man doesn't take anything seriously. They're also acrobatic heroes, like that's kinda their Thing™️ so that also feeds into the antagonism. So on the odd occasion they work together (and they can both respect the other's got game, fyi, but that doesn't mean they have to like the guy, okay Jason/Tim/MJ/Matt?), they're constantly trying to one up the other. It's a battle of wills and they have the emotional fortitude of a pair of brick walls but with snark.

(There are other compounding features here, like Peter clocking Nightwing as a rich boy; Nightwing being wary of some of Spider-Man's associations [Black Cat, Deadpool etc]; Dick thinking Spider-Man is kinda unreliable; Peter thinking Nightwing's a bit of a ho [false but he made the mistake of taking the rumours seriously] etc etc.)

Anyway, so these two numbnuts don't like each other and they try - they genuinely try - to put on a professional front about it but their dislike for the other is about as opaque as a glass wall and everyone know it. It's something of an in joke between the Avengers (of whom Peter's only the occasional member of) and the Justice League (or maybe it's the Titans or the Outsiders IDK). And yes they can both acknowledge that it's a petty dislike, but that doesn't mean either of them are interested in changing their minds. BUT BUT BUT what do we do with two numbnut idiots who don't like each other?

The crowd, probably: we make them work together?

⭐That's right pookie, we make 'em work together. Like, really work together. Like, these two idiots are made to work closely. Intensely together. Close quarters style, shared mission, long term. Maybe they're 'volunteered', maybe they're press-ganged, maybe they're just straight up abducted and thrown together (alien abduction anyone?). Either way, they're stuck working together. And they bitch and moan about it (privately or otherwise) but dang it they can be professionals, they can put their big girl panties on and suck it up.

So they do. They're mean and they're snarky only before too long actually their mean is kinda funny, and actually I can trust this guy to have my back, and actually he's not so much the silver spoon daddy's boy, and actually and actually----

(also somewhere along the lines they start thirsting for each other. Carnally. Except they're both emotionally stunted dumbasses so they just chalk this up to misplaced aggression and dislike.)

And then the mission's over and they go their separate ways. Great! they think. Finally some peace and I can go and do my own thing again! Except, WRONG. Because now they're fucking -- yearning. They're thinking about the times the other made them laugh. They're swivelling around like a meerkat at the mere mention of the other guy's name. They're---

You get it? What I want from these two is the 'frenemies' to lovers trope. Antagonistic and snarky and competitive bullshit artists falling for the other so subtly they don't even realise the trap they've fallen into until the next time they lay eyes on each other and then-- BAM heart eyes, rose-tinted glasses, holy shit I want this man in my life and my bed for the next forever---

(And if in this moment Matt could be there to hear the simultaneous swoops of their hearts and souls aligning, that'd be great, please and thank you.)

...

*coughs* ahem. So. Yes. I'm a multi-shipper but am only a wee babby. Had I the time maybe I'd write this. But I think the muse would bitch slap me so hard I'd ascend to another plan of existence if I came to her with this idea, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My one goal in getting tumblr and posting stuff on tumblr was to try and make the ship between Spider-man and Nightwing more popular as popular as the ship between Red Hood and Spider-Man but also the ship between Tim drake and Peter Parker. Well technically I had two goal with the other being to make people start writing more Peter in Gotham fanfics using comic book Spider-Man. I really just started this thing on tumblr to get people to write stories and make fanart of stuff I like because I suck at it.

[variantia]

BELLUM.   anyway funny enough is that if Rouxls is allowed to stick around, he DOES have a serious side to him and could potentially have a heart to heart with Lo, even if he’s not close enough to her in a personal sense to convince her to go back to the real world

like he spent how long dealing with Lancer who was once upon a time an abused lonely child looking for attention anywhere he could find it and just wanting friends and

not really deluding himself but violently pretending his dad was a good guy and that King’s approval would magically make him worthy of, like, just existing

but King was never going to give his approval, because Lancer just wasn’t fucking good enough for his father no matter what he did, because Lancer actually has a big heart and wants to do the right thing despite the ‘right’ thing being so different from what King wanted

and Rouxls may have acted like (and still does sometimes) he couldn’t stand Lancer, but the truth is he feels BAD for the kid and spent a lot of time in private comforting Lancer when stuff got to be too much, he was Lesser Dad for Lancer’s entire childhood and he picked up the pieces every single time

and Rouxls himself ?   ABSOLUTELY felt beaten down and like he had no choices and like he was weak, despite being the creature who literally SETS THE RULES FOR AN ENTIRE WORLD, because truth be told King was just as abusive to him as he was to his son, and the only difference being that Rouxls would just take it because he didn’t feel like he had a say in any of this

so I could totally imagine Rouxls just ... sitting down and talking to Lo normally, like an actual person, talking about how running away from problems isn’t going to make them go away and he knows how scary it is to feel so out of control and how heavy it is to have so much power on your shoulders and sometimes you’re not even sure it’s enough, you have all this power but so fucking what ?   what has it changed ?   if all this power you have is not enough, then how much power do you really have ?

but sooner or later any denial is going to come crashing down like a house of cards, and do you really plan to put all that work into setting it up again knowing the slightest thing might knock it back down ?   or are you going to build a house made of something sturdier, that kind of thing that only can exist in the real world when you face things ?

it might sound preachy or silly coming from him, but by this point he knows the kind of danger everyone faces, he knows that if Kris gets sucked in too deep they could create more DARK Fountains in an effort to give Lo real subjects, and it could cause the end of the world

but more importantly he knows what it’s like to feel POWERLESS despite wielding an intense amount of power, and the urge to run away to someplace more pleasant where things are better ... and it’s tempting, and he knows it, he knows, but ... if you create your own better place where you can control everything ... then what happens to everything you left behind, and what happens when even this perfect place doesn’t make you happy or take away your pain ?

he’s a clown but sometimes he can take off the big shoes and make some real fucking sense

(I don’t even play him but the entire fucking Undertale and Deltarune cast is gonna guest star here at some point so I might as well start rambling about them now)
