#(Thank you for the asks!)

[veryfruitywriting]

You’re asking for Mac scenarios?! I’m your girl!!! How about one where all that training with Dunk finally pays off and we carry Mac up the stairs so they can cuddle with us because I don’t think they have the strength or ability to get up there like everybody else.

Dunk can act as our bestie wingman and carry up Mac’s wheelchair while we carry the real goods because I don’t think we’re strong enough to carry that wheelchair only the Mac. ❤️🫶🏻

ohhh i absolutely love this. — been gushing over this last night trying to brainstorm 😼 — thank you for sliding in my asks 🫶

ANYTHING FOR YOU

(new to this… don’t throw tomatoes at me pls)

After seeing Dunk for the first time (again), he wasted no time to bring you back into your fitness era! You were hesitant at first, not sure if you were willing—or even had the motivation— to bring yourself back into it. But as you slept on it, you decided it would be nice to try and find a schedule again.

After receiving these glasses and working at home most of the time, there was going to be a point where you were gonna lose your mind being in this house. Might as well become a better you with this much free time. You were a bit slow paced with these workouts but after you met Mac, there was a bit of determination now. Not that you noticed at first but the more you chatted with them, the more you think about them as Dunk counts your reps.

Mac doesn’t really think much of your appearance but focuses more on your technical mannerisms and skills. Doesn’t mean they don’t notice the difference in your body tone and boost of energy. The deeper the relationship between you two has gotten, the more you strive to look better for them.

It only seemed fair since they mentioned they wanted to be good enough for you. Which absolutely broke your heart once they admitted their reasonings for the necessary update—along with other important things. You knew they meant well by it, by showing no hard nor sad feelings when they said it but you decided it was your turn to be good enough for them.

You tease Mac saying one day you’ll lift them up with ease one day. They reply saying they can’t wait for when the day comes.

There are moments where you genuinely want to sweep them off their feet but you still have a fear lingering in the back of your mind that you’ll drop them. That you’re not strong enough for them. It only fuels your determination more. It doesn’t go unnoticed during the workouts. Dunk takes note of your firecracker attitude when it comes to the workout he has plans for the day. His smile gets bigger and his adrenaline skyrockets when you ask for heavier weights or challenging exercises.

Night was arriving soon and you could feel your eyes grow heavier. “You should really get to bed,” Mac gently grabbed your shoulder with their hand, the little mouse on their shoulder moving in agreement. “You spent well over our usual 14 hours today.” “You really have to be a bit more careful when it comes to indulging yourself with the screen.”

“Sometimes I can’t tell if you remember that you have the ability to blink or not.” You laugh softly and reassure them that you do blink—sometimes—. “You should invest in blue light lenses.” You tilt your head to the side, it sounded familiar then it came to you. You’ve been seeing ads for them a lot lately… and have seen them in your cart for some unknown reason.

Mac looks off to the side as you click the pieces together, “It’s hard not to try and do these things. It runs through my veins being your computer and all.” As they face you again, you’re already leaning over from your chair and to their direction. Planting a soft kiss onto their cheek before they could say anymore.

You reassure them that you’ll buy the glasses, their shoulders visibly relax. “It’s getting to your usual bedtime, I’ll just finish scanning over any potential viruses —as I think the website you used earlier seemed a little sketch..— and sleep for the night.” They wheel over and soon extend their hand out to shoo you away but you gracefully grab it. Squeezing their hand in a heart-warming manner.

“Join me tonight.”

The blush on Mac’s face faintly paints their face. You’ve asked many times before but the expression on your face tonight said you weren’t going to listen to their excuses anymore. It wasn’t that they weren’t uncomfortable. The amount of times the both of you have fallen asleep on the couch were too many to count. It was the worst thing in the house for them: the stairs. Not Stella personally, she was a nice woman but the structure of the stairs… damn you architects.

“Join you?” Mac responded quickly, a bit surprised by your question. “Yes, upstairs.” You respond confidently. They shuddered excitedly at your changed demeanor, the blush on their face getting more visible by the second. “As much as I would love to, you know that it’s going to be a hassle to—“

You let go of their hand, soon standing up from your desk chair and finding yourself beside Mac. You lean over slightly, your fragrance overtaking their senses before they realize that your hand is slithering down to their lower back. “May I?” You ask softly. Mac’s face turns to your direction, your noses barely touching. “Are you sure?”

“Trust me.”

With that, Mac gives you a sure nod. You can’t lie to yourself and say you weren’t sweating nervously. You could feel the clothes clinging onto your back. Mac threw their arm over your shoulder and in a second, you lifted them up effortlessly.

You both had a shocked look plastered onto your faces. The office was still and quiet, only the sound you can hear was the sound of your heartbeat pounding against your own ears. “Woah. Dunk really had you training.” Mac broke the silence. You look down at them and excitedly plant a kiss on their forehead.

“You were my motivation.”

Being a romantic for a minute only took you so far. You carried Mac effortlessly through the room but that wheelchair was a pain in the ass. One minute it was stuck in the doorway, the next its wheel wasn’t turning and was dragging on the floor. Your arms flexed underneath Mac as you readjusted them on your chest. Their flustered face wasn’t determined if they enjoyed being in your arms or were embarrassed by their wheelchair not cooperating with you.

“Hey!” A familiar voice echoed through the dimmed hallway. You turn your head over your shoulders and find yourself looking at Dunk. “Glad I caught you in time. Just wanted to go over tomorrow’s workout, I have BIG things planned.”

As Dunk reached the two, his smile grew wider and the light of his eyes shined. He was so happy for you. He was so happy that you GAINED STRENGTH. “Woo!” His hand slapped on your back as he examined you, “I saw the progress but this really solidified the killer sets we’ve been doing. We knew not to say no to your inner athlete.”

Of course, he was glad you were doing this for your partner but he really was more into the fact that you looked at your prime. Dunk’s eyes found themselves on Mac, they both exchanged glances and quick waves. “These look great on you.” Dunk boosted happily, grabbing your flexed bicep and squeezing it with glee.

“I have to ask for more weights tomorrow.” You responded quickly, “Oh? I can’t say no to that. But, can I ask why?” Dunk tilted his head slightly. You quickly turned around and pointed at the wheelchair with your feet. “Noted. But lemme help you out, love to get a quick workout in before I sleep for the night.”

Before you and Mac could reassure him that there was no need, he lifted it above his head and adjusted it on his back. He did a quick squat with its weight with ease before letting out a quick ‘woo!’ “Oh, this has to be over 60 pounds. Let me get a feel for it and I’ll find out the exact weight for tomorrow.” “Be careful with it.” You bit your lip nervously. “I won’t drop it.” He responded, racing upstairs. You look at Mac and they seem completely fine with Dunk handling it.

Finally arriving at your bedroom, you thanked Dunk for his helping hand. “5am treadmill run?” He raised his eyebrow as you both fist bumped. You felt Mac’s arms clench more forcefully around your neck as you lifted them slightly to meet fists. Your eyes flickered down at them before at him once you readjusted, “I’d like to sleep in tomorrow.”

“Ah, gotcha.” He noticed your priorities and nodded understandably. “Goodnight you two.”

You turned on your heels and closed the door with your hip. Gently, you placed Mac on the edge of the bed, allowing their feet to feel the floor. You pressed a kiss against their cheek before departing so the two of you could get ready for bed. You placed comfortable clothing for them to choose beside them as you did your nightly routine.

You changed and once you returned, they were wearing that band t-shirt you loved. They looked much more relaxed than before. Especially in your clothes. Your heart swelled in happiness and love. You could get used to this view.

The lights were off, all but one. Your nightstand lamp on Mac’s side. You crawled on the side of your bed, leaning over them with dilated eyes. Their hand slithers up the side of your face, “As much as I miss you during your workouts, I have to say I love this look on you.” They grinned. You move your head slightly, kissing the palm of their hand. “With the numerous fanfic posted on the internet, I’m glad we finally get to experience what people usually read about.”

With quick motion, you grab their waist and bring them close to you. Chests touching and a gentle squeeze on their hip, you two basked in each other’s presences. Your eyes flicker down to their lips and Mac notices your soft plea. The softness of their lips against yours makes your body tense. You hold them carefully but firmly. You’re overjoyed by the new opportunities that you worked hard for. All that you’ve done was for them.

Mac broke the kiss and turned off the last light. Finding themselves in your arms once more. Normally, they would’ve popped up a screen and finish doing their usual task for the night but they felt so comfortable in this position with you. They wouldn’t dare ruin this moment.

You had already fallen asleep, mouth agape and your hand grasping onto the fabric of the shirt they wore. Mac sighed softly and placed their glasses on the stand before wrapping their arm around your shoulder. They planted a quick kiss on your chin before allowing themselves to dream for the night.

I've started creating a Discworld oc named Doors (full name Of-the-Door-hinge-the-squeak), who is a human orphan who was partially raised with goblins (hence the name), and has a curse that means every time he opens a door it leads to a random location anywhere in the multiverse except where he intended to go.

But I'm nervous to post about or work on him since I've only read like half the books and might be inaccurate.

I only now noticed you asked for jayvik fanfic ideas? I don't know if it's too late, but, so like, silly one-shot of Jayce being worried Heimedinger found out about him and Viktor being a couple, worried of getting kicked out/getting fired because what if it's not allowed when you're co-workers (don't ask how jaymel fits this idea :'D) but Heimedinger just didn't get them being a couple.

Also, Jayce getting violently protective of Viktor and Viktor finding that hot is something i'm surprised I haven't seen a lot. (Then again I don't read the most 🔞 works...and maybe this idea's more fun if it's Post-canon, them living low in a small village?)

Sorry if I misunderstood your asking post. 😅

I LOVE THESE. I love them so much in fact that you've probably seen one of them on the poll you answered yesterday XD That second one? Oh, I have PLANS for that second one you have NO IDEA. I like the way your brain works!

It's never too late to send me ideas! You aren't bothering me at all! You didn't misunderstand! This is exactly what I asked for. MOAR!

[wintersoulwitch]

i'd honestly loveee to hear you yap more about the film you wrote for the 48hr film thing (only stuff you're comfortable w/ sharing ofc)!!!!

Okayyyy I didn’t want to go on and on about it, but seeing as both you and @yonderghostshistories have asked for more plot details then fuck it, here's an illustrated breakdown with some director's commentary 😁

We start with some kind of broken down desolate post apocalyptic industrial complex. (Actually an abandoned airbase a few miles out of Newcastle). A portal appears - because it’s sci fi! And because the DoP said she could animate portals during our initial brainstorming sessions so I was like: Right, we’re using that!

Our two leads emerge from the portal… Dawn is a badass action hero type. Chris is the anxious tech nerd. They both wear leather jackets, because post-apocalypse. Chris fiddles with a handheld Device - a sci fi tech prop we made by hotgluing a lighting gel frame to a broken camera remote - and announces that the cameras have been disabled, which gives them 5 minutes to find the server room and set off the self-destruct sequence. 

"I was also at that briefing, thank you," sneers Dawn. We’ve got exposition, characterisation and interpersonal dynamics within the first 30 seconds, fuck yeah efficient storytelling! 

The two of them continue on their way. Chris has the feeling that they’re being watched. Dawn dismisses her as just being paranoid. 

But then! Evil henchman dude appears and tries to steal The Device from Chris. This bit didn't turn out so good for a couple of reasons that really all boil down to not having enough time. So anyway you're not getting anything from the "action" scene itself, but we do get a badass film still of Dawn and a dramatic gif of Chris.

Also the poor guy who played the henchman was left lying in the long grass while we continued filming the scene and ended up getting a rash from nettles. At this point we also attracted the attention of a group of youths who wanted to know what we were doing and whether the film was gonna be shown on TV. And then an elderly dog walker was concerned about our henchmen guy lying down in the grass and it took a while to convince him that everything was fine (I was put in mind of the TLOG S3 outtake of Mark Gatiss lying on the pavement as Phill Proctor and that confused passerby asking if he was OK.)

And then the police arrived! Because the youths were setting fire to things.

Anyway, back to the story. Dawn picks up The Device and scolds Chris - "If he’d got hold of that, we would have been stuck here." Aha, more exposition! The Device Must Be Kept Safe so they can portal outta there. Seems like that bit of information might be important later 🤔

Absolutely love the next bit - Dawn tugging Chris’ arm and leading her along.

Chris: There wasn't supposed to be any security left in this complex! Dawn: Well your intel was wrong, wasn't it?

Yeah, Dawn is fucking done.

We hear a speaker sputter to life and a sexy AI voice (ahem guess who did the voiceover?) starts broadcasting.

Then we come to one of my absolute favourite shots: This lovely focus pull from Dawn to Chris...

And my favourite bit of Dawn/Chris interactions: Their argument as Dawn finally snaps

Chris: She knows we're coming Dawn: It knows we're coming. It's a computer, not a person. Let's not get sentimental. Chris: She was MY partner and MY friend Dawn: It's not Sarah! It's a machine!

(Friend, eh, Chris? Special friend? Maybe you were roommates?) 

Dawn has had enough of Chris’s shit. She needs to get this mission over and done with. Find the server room, initiate the self destruct sequence, get the fuck out. C'mon, we've got an Evil AI to blow up!

We have a lovely tracking shot following Dawn into the bunker. It was tricky to do but DoP was very pleased with how it turned out!

We'd pretty much wrapped all our exterior shots so it was time to head to the location for our bunker/server room (ie the DoP's garage). We had an annoying moment where the owner of the brown leather jacket that Chris wears wouldn't let us keep it for any longer. We filmed some scenes of Chris taking the jacket off before entering the bunker for continuity purposes but honestly they looked shit and didn't serve any narrative purpose and were distracting. So we cut it and just trusted that the interior shots were dark enough that no one would really notice.

OK, so we go into the bunker and hear some lovely atmospheric buzzes and hums. Green lighting courtsey of a neon sign the DoP bought for her son's birthday party.

They reach the server room and… What’s this? Sarah? 

Yes, Chris’s friend/partner/ex(?) has become one with the machine! It’s Cyborg Sarah the Evil AI! 

We were up til 1am filming in the DoP's garage, I wrapped this poor girl in a bunch of cables and kettle leads and we had her precariously balanced on some broken tiles. Delirium had set in, we were absolutely shattered, and the garage was an absolute health and safety nightmare of dodgy electrics and trailing wires.

Chris realises that if they set off the self-destruct then Sarah will be blown up and she'll truly lose her forever. In a state of grief/panic/bargaining she tries to free Cyborg Sarah from the machine. 

Dawn: It almost looks real… Chris: She is real! Dawn: Chris, no... Chris: We can't leave her here! We have to take her with us! If we leave her here, she'll die!

Chris, you idiot, can't you see it's too late? She’s One With the Machine! Dawn and Chris have a scuffle, a tube is pulled out of Cyborg Sarah and sprays engine oil/cyborg blood over the wall. In all the commotion, the Device is shattered on the ground.

Uh oh! The AI voice taunts them: Your portal device is destroyed. There's no way for you to leave the complex. If you activate the self destruct then we will all go together. Ha. Ha. Ha. 

Chris falls to her knees in despair and Dawn takes a moment to weigh up her options... Complete the mission and sacrifice herself, or save herself but let the Evil AI continue its unspecified reign of terror?

We have a lovely shot of Dawn wiping the cyborg blood off a mirror and smearing her reflection. You can't really see the "blood" in the gif but it took fucking ages to get it to spray across the mirror without getting anyone's hands in shot.

Dawn makes her decision... "Guess we're all going together, then."

She enters the access code, and the AI voice speaks: Self destruct sequence initiated… Music selected...

The sound of a piano begins to play...

Dawn leaves a sobbing Chris and goes outside for the last time. She looks up at the sky, takes a deep breath, and accepts her death... 

🎼When you attend a funeral / It is sad to think that sooner or / Later those you love will do the same for you / And you may have thought it tragic / (Not to mention other adjectives) / To think of all the weeping they will do / But don't you worry / For if the bomb that drops on you / Gets your friends and neighbours too... / There'll be nobody left behind to grieve

The bunker explodes in a blaze of white heat and Dawn, Chris, and whatever is left of Sarah are all incinerated. 

But the Evil AI is defeated, so yay? 

[dissectiongirl]

more asks ^_^

YES IT IS.

in my mind they're the actual toxic yaoi. isatona only gets called toxic yaoi because I draw tona cutting or lobotomizing isa but that's like isa's mentally ill fantasy. edentona is just a failing, dying relationship between someone who has accepted it and wants to move on and someone who is in denial of it just to not be alone.

I said this in another post but didn't elaborate on these aspects of their relationship, but they are both undocumented immigrants, though eden lives in the us under deferred action. they have also both lost a parent in their lifetime. similar experiences that allowed them to bond at first, but what they've internalized from their experiences cause them to eventually clash. especially around the idea of their parents' sacrifices, both literally and figuratively. eden is more of an optimist and has accepted staying in america as a way to honor what his parents did to let him "have a better life" than in his birth country and to make something out of the loss of his mother. tona on the other hand is greatly pessimistic and angrier about his circumstances and the death of his father makes it incredibly difficult for him to give a single fuck about wanting to contribute to american society.

it boils down to their values and I want them to have a very tragic relationship. it is to me. they're tom and jerry beating each other over the head with pans and shovels because they just keep getting angry at each other because they ultimately want different things in life.

honestly, my biggest inspiration for their dynamic was this quote from exquisite corpse:

"I love you, Jay" "I can't say that. […] But I know you, Andrew, and that's something I've never said to anyone else." "I know you too."

(and maybe it will get referenced in game)

I'm not gonna lie I was really hoping one day someone would ask me about tona's gender because I think about it like every day. I'm not sure if I have a specific egg cracking moment in mind, however. as a story that takes place in modern times and as a character who is online, it wouldn't be too off base to just say she found out about being nonbinary through forums or social media at least. she was an emo kid after all, which would have allowed her to experiment with her gender expression.

but I imagine her feeling very off about her gender identity since she was younger but never fully processing her feelings until after graduating from high school. a lot of her gender dysphoria is social rather than anything physical. I don't see her having any of the latter really. but socially, she is uncomfortable being seen as a man, as "the Man of the house", in her romantic life, etc etc. especially after the death of her father, she was forced to step up to take care of her mother, and that role always bothered her for more reasons beyond resentment of not being able to process her own grief.

her relationship with her mother is pretty important and as an adult, tona being more feminine would serve to be an exercise in freedom away from that role.

related to the political aspect, I enjoy the intersection between her being an undocumented immigrant and a nonbinary person. where she has always been victim to the limits of these social constructs drawn around her. that she is neither mexican or american enough, nor man or woman enough. post canon, I think she would go on e for a little bit, but stop eventually after reaching a certain point :)

I had this in my drafts and tried to write out an answer like five different times, I just had no idea how to word anything concisely.

I guess firstly, it's a visual novel with point-and-click elements where you play as both isaias and tonatiuh in their early 20's with callbacks to them in high school around the time an arson took place in their city in southwest arizona.

isaias' story is about the aftermath of a suicide attempt where he was interrupted by someone who resembles jesus christ. this kickstarts his journey in seeking redemption for his past growing up with poorly managed conduct disorder, while also battling his want to be punished. he has had previous suicide attempts, the first being at 18 where he cut off tonatiuh, who was his best friend at the time. where he was violent and abrasive as a teenager, as an adult, he is now very meek and remorseful.

tonatiuh's story is about the aftermath of being cut off by isaias, and how much being abandoned has affected her in personality and in her relationships. you start out with her being in a middle of a failing relationship (eden), find out about her other previous failed relationships (tristan), and soon see her reconcile with isaias— all while she reflects on her own desperation to feel some semblance of security due to her circumstances. where she was known to be unassuming and polite as a teenager, she is now very miserable and passive aggressive as an adult.

my vn is about their friendship, how it fell apart, and how much they've both changed in the meantime to both of their surprises. much of it is about immigration, grief, and mental illness, while more abstract concepts that inspire my story are shame, anger, and agency.

For a fic ask: What drew you to Aegon to the point of wanting to write a story about him? What made you look at him, see him in a way that had you go: Let me write a softer end for you. (Apologies if you’ve answered this in the past)

For everyday life: What animal did you like as a child? Has it stayed the same? If yes, why do you think that is? If not what is it now (and reason if you want to share)? Also, is there an animal you respect? (like in the sense you may not care for it but you understand its purpose and why others may like it)

These are such fun asks! Thank you!

Fic Ask: That's such an interesting question because that's not at all how I approached Maiden. (But if this is how someone approaches their story, that's great for them!) Abby was created before the first episode aired, since I had heard that they were doing a show, and had read F&B a year earlier. I wanted to make a proto-sansa character who was hopeful and kind in the middle of such a traumatic event, being caught between these two individuals (which was even juicier when they de-aged Alicent/Aged up Rhaenyra).

I wanted to write a story where I could try save this tragedy in a way that was satisfying to me, and I fully admit the idea initially started with 'how could I get Aemond and Helaena married?' The adults failed these children, and while I am fully a Woman Kings girl (if you were on my blog before I started writing Maiden, my blog title was 'King is a gender neutral term'), I thought Aegon was in an interesting position. I've always been a Hightower Fangirl, so I naturally gravitated that way (especially since I am not a Targ Supremacy person. The messy family is fun but omg get them out of power) and him and Abby worked very well together when I aged her down. So those two became the heart of Maiden because I really gravitated towards the relationship between Aegon and Alicent, and wanted to explore that as well, and while it is, at the center, Abrogon's story, there's a reason why the POV cast is what it is. I wanted to give a better ending to Helaena who deserves the world, and see what changes I could make. I hope that answers your question!

And additionally, what I like about the character Aegon in general is that he's in such an intriguing position. He's the eldest son of the king, he should be heir, everyone expects this guy to be heir, but it's his sister whose named such. And the thing is, even though he isn't seeking out this place, so much is put on him: His mother's suffering, the safety of his siblings (because he and his brother's are threats to their sister's rule), his desire to just live his life, much like Viserys. Yet when forced into the position, he takes to it. He throws himself into it, he gets on the battlefield (I do not like the way the show tried to portray all of this, as I think it does both Aegon and Rhaenyra a disservice, but that's neither here nor there). As someone who has a vaguely contentious relationship with their own little brother, and their own mommy issues, Aegon offered such an avenue to explore these themes I found interesting.

Animal: CHEETAHS! I LOVE CHEETAHS! My first book series I wrote was the adventures of cheetah girl. Cheetahs are everything to me.

An animal I respect are spiders. I became more accepting of these when moving out to the country, and understanding how vital they are to the ecosystem. Save the spiders! I mean fuck, I had a lil spider living in my driver's side side window that I let hang out for weeks. Named him George.

Ask Game!!! Number 3, 9, 10, 14 and 25!

The [character] being Fugo of course!

I assume this means a Fugo ship I despise. In general, I like most Fugo ships, so really the ones I despise would be ones with the adult characters. Like, a few days ago I came across abbafugo. Very scary. As the good internet citizen I am I simply blocked and moved on but yeeeesh.

For a more interesting response, I don't understand Fugo x Josuke. It seems cool, and I'm not hating, but I have no clue where it came from, and it seems super prevalent for a rarepair, so... yeah! If anyone knows I'd like to find out what that's about!

Fun Astro Fact: some years back I remember looking for fugio stuff on AO3 and finding literally nothing except for a Fugo x Josuke fic that had Fugo be in a really bad relationship with Giorno (bad is an understatement. giogio assaults him in the opening scene. I was horrified #notmygiogio)

Ok so I think The Fugo Fic Of All Time is the famed "Purple Haze At The Dock of The San Maggiore". Cannot recall the name of the author rn but back when I read it I was going insaaaaane. I'm sure every Fugo fan has read it though. There was this other fic that I forgot to save that was super good that was about Giorno frankensteining fugo back to life (only one chapter long but sooo good). Idk how to find it again tho :(

I freaking loooove @citronlad's Fugo art. Dream artstyle fr . That's their insta handle, idk if it's the same one on tumblr

I have answered this one already, but I'd feel bad not answering it so I'll just answer again. I like all Fugo ships but I only really write and draw for fugio, so no, I've never drawn or written for anything that I never thought I'd like. (Because I don't draw/write for anything else 😅)

Not die. I'm not joking, just hear me out. I think it's fucking ridiculous that he survived. He was the sole member of a traitorous team to be left behind, and Diavolo, the paranoid ass, let him live??? Why?? Why not kill the straggler as punishment to the rest of his team? Why let the member of a traitor team, ex or not, survive? Idk. It drives me up the wall.

Logic aside , if Fugo just died it would have also sent the message that there is no room for inaction. You either go against what you know, or perish in familiarity. Idfk. Ughhhh the POTENTIAL

If you really wanna go all in, Angel can't have sex with Buffy because he's in love with her and that'll give him his one moment of bliss again. But he's not in love in Faith, he can have sex with Faith without losing his soul and Buffy can even be there and everyone involved hates this solution to varying degrees but because of that it is a solution. And it's only fair if one of them is having sex with Faith that the other does as well, then it's like they're having sex by proxy but once again without the possibility of him losing his soul. And for Faith this is terrible great because there's so much distance between her and Buffy legitimately hooking up there's so little chance of it becoming real and her messing it up like she does everything else in her life.

YES! Anon, you get it. I am putting a hold on my calendar to take you to the airport for your early morning flight.

(This is in response to my post about BTVS S3 where Buffy gets to have sex.)

This is honestly the outline I have had in my head and you and I are totally on the same track. He's not in love with Faith. And then it's only fair!!

OK more talk about this under the cut

Now reading your description I am pretty sure your version is about "trying to be good and faithful Angel" but I see 2 versions.

It works both ways, he can be Sadboy Angel (credit to this post for that name) who wants to be intimate with Buffy and this is the only way it works without him losing his soul. OR it can be lusty Angelus who for some reason can't really harm Buffy (*hand waving, hand waving*) but he's happy to get some nookie on the side and look who just happens to be there? A very different vibe to both but the end result would be the same.

In my HC this would feel slightly familiar to Faith, going along with something bc it feels good or good-ish AND she gets something else she wants. (past trauma ahem.) and hey let's admit it Darla-trained Angel would be a decent lay.

Faith would pretty much do anything to watch Buffy get fucked, but that goes double for getting to do the Buffy fucking herself. So Faith planting her face between Buffy's legs and hearing her cum while Angel is railing Faith from behind? Pretty much heaven.

And Faith can't really imagine what it would be like if it really was just her and Buffy, with Angel not there and no pretense of them fucking ONLY bc of the soul-curse-situation.

Bc Buffy would never want her by herself right? bc she doesn't deserve that and Buffy doesn't love her - Buffy loves Angel. But sometimes Buffy looks at her while they are all fucking and Faith has to close her eyes bc it feels like Buffy loves her. And she can't believe she's worthy of that.

And important to note here that for Faith - Buffy isn't the icing on the cake. She's the cake. Angel fucking her good is the icing, and she is really only going along with the icing bc the cake wants the icing to be there.

To keep it canon compliant we have to stick with version 1 with Sadboy Angel (no lusty Angelus). Faith still DOES try to seduce Angel on her own - 40% bc her dad pimps her out and it's not the first time The Mayor suggests it, 40% bc she wants to hurt Buffy, and 20% bc she wants reassurance that her sexually aggressive entrapment skills still work. bc what is she if she can't seduce a man to get what she wants?

It doesn't work, which frustrates Faith to no end.

Oh bonus! it's always bothered me how good Buffy is at lying in the lead up to the "Psyche!" bc she canonically is not a good liar. Maybe the toxic threesome fun includes some roleplay and that's part of why Buffy is able to convincingly lie in that episode (ep: 3x17 enemies).

There's so many good ways to work "bondage looks good on you B" as a comment referring to a past conversation, but in this specific HC it is that Buffy did want to try getting tied up, but the three of them hadn't gotten around to it yet. So when Faith mentions it - she is actually thinking of their past threesome conversation about it.

So you see the plot hole filler we needed all along was letting Buffy fuck in S3.

(personally i HC Faith as bi, but this prob still works and is more angsty with a comphet Faith reading. i vibe with pretty much all reads of Faith btw.)

I'm sure I'll have more thoughts on this later but that's it for now.

Thank you for believing in my vision anon! Feel free to write this, YOU or anyone else. I want to write it but I cannot promise I can start it even this year.

Frankly it is a bit sad seeing how you had to make a post basically saying that misandry is bad.

It should be a very agreeable thing; that people should be judged for their actions, not by the gender they identify with.

Blegh

Very much proud of you, Megan. Congrats on having the will to come out about it

Thanks bestie 🫡 I was so nervous even if idk how the sphere is on tumblr, I feel I’d get more jumped if it was bluesky but generally I throw my hotter takes to the void here lol even if a lot of people still are active its just more condense for me to trust ig?? If that make any sense. (I was debating to send a screenshot or tldr of my thoughts to bluesky tho but gonna heavily debate even if it’s been a day)

1, 3, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20 for the ask game. your choice :)

Lol I did not forget! I was immersed in my game. Anyways, i answered these for any sims that came to mind <3

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

Wayne Alto! I needed another wealthy sim for Xavier to be friends with but I didn't really know who so when I was redoing Holly Alto for Veronica I decided to add Wanye and his older brother Joaquin. I didn't really want to make a new family so I just used the Altos since their lore says they were shady and wealthy, kinda like the Landgraabs~

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

I would say personality/role in the story and how I want them to interact with The Reeves siblings. I find it harder to make sims just to make sims because I think "why are you here?" they also turn out really fucking ugly. As much as I love Wayne I really did make him to be friends with Xavier and to be a minor problem for Xavier and his future boo thang

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - How much of it is projecting?

Aht Aht Aht all my sims have a little bit of me in them if I'm being honest LOL. Especially Malcolm and Veronica, I really do talk like that to people. That's why I find it's much easier to write them because I'm just writing what I'd say in some of the scenes I put them in lol

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the characters sound like?

@citylighten really opened my eyes for Xavier and his voice claim would be Braelyn Rankins OR Darwin from early seasons lol. I haven't thought about it for all my Sims but Vaghun would be Siriboe, Luna would be Coco Jones and Veronica would be Megan Good

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented in their design, personality or in some other way

oh this question is bringing me back to English class. I don't think I go THAT deep into creating my story (if you think I do I'd love to hear it tbh)

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

I'll answer this question for Malcolm. I love his big-ass frog eyes and his horrible to everyone around him. He usually tempers it around his close friends but with strangers? he's a complete asshole and I love that for him. My least fav would probably be having to write him like a dick to sims he loves because anytime he's confronted with anything he doesn't like his knee-jerk reaction would be to set everything on fire (like he did with Luna)

Bonus Question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble

Yea lemme share one of my fav screenshots of Gideon and Grayson lol. ALSO, I've had them separated for a few months now in game and I'm kinda ready to get them back together cuz there really isn't anything stopping them from being together (it's just me). I think they can still be together while they try to navigate this new reality that Gideon works for a really dangerous man (Daisuke) and that danger will leak into their lives at some point

1 23 25?

Thank you for the asks! 💕

1. When did your Durge and Orin meet? What was their relationship like initially? Did their feelings towards each other change over time?

The first time they met was shortly after Orin was born. He very much immediately adored her and she grew up seeing him as a brother figure she could rely on.

They kept their relationship like that pretty much until Fine was officially Bhaals Chosen. After that, he grew more distant and focused more on the Absolute’s Plot and, in general, grew to loath his position and the faith more with each passing day, which in turn slowly ate away at their relationship. They still very much adored each other like siblings and had each other's back, but both in their own twisted ways. Unfortunately, however, this would eventually lead to her betrayal.

23. How does Durge react to Orin kidnapping their companion? Do they agree to her demands to kill Gortash, or go after her first instead? Why?

Fine isn't a "good guy". He takes Orin's meddling and shape-shifting as an unruly child throwing a tantrum, and he views her kidnapping a companion in very much the same way. There's bigger fish to fry than the rogue Bhaalspawn constantly attempting to get his attention, and if she is as witty as she claims to be, she'd be an idiot to throw her most valuable card in getting him to visit her away so recklessly.

He basically takes a gamble on the unlucky ones life. He doesn't change his plans with the excuse that Orin couldn't be that much of a fool, and even if she is, well shit happens. Everyone's aware they're on a suicide mission, and failure will end in death, one way or another, so they would certainly understand that he doesn't beeline for "just one person." (The pragmatic asshole stays pragmatic asshole even with amnesia)

25. How does your Durge remember Orin, after everything is over?
