[factual-fantasy]

29 Asks! Thank you!! :}} 🏇

Ah- yeah that's just a reminder to check the FAQ before asking. :0

I put that notice there because despite having the FAQ, I still got like a dozen asks of things my FAQ already answered...

@caprico54

My Wally does not eat with his eyes, thankfully, XD that cant be good for his vision!

@soulful-rodent

I'm still trying to figure out a way around the 100 link limit.. but maybe someday I will! :0

XDD That makes 3 of us!

@how-am-i-still-here-lmao

The Muppets don't exist in my AU <XD and unfortunately I don't know enough about the Muppets to think of the hypotheticals.. <:( sorry!...💔💔

(Julies monster form post)

If Julie ever did reveal her true form, I'm sure Barnaby would appreciate paw pads! XD Hey! He's not the only one now! :D

AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD Hugs are by far my favorite thing to draw, so I'm glad you like them and can feel the emotions I try to portray in them!! :DDD

AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD As for the boops.. that's a good question actually :00

I can imagine Frank, Howdy and Poppy wouldn't like a nose boop <XDD

Wally and Eddie would just be confused <XD maybe don't do it to them either..

You might get away with booping Sally once!

Barnaby and Julie would probably laugh and boop you back!

Home would just stare.. 👁️👁️

@randomgir2020 (Referencing this post)

Aw man, <XD I cant relate! I live for the cold. When I get slightly too hot? I am WAY too hot. 😭😭 But it take's a LOT of cold to make me uncomfortable :00

But hey! I guess that means you might be enjoying the summer we've had this year..? XD

(Referencing this post)

I'm thinking Wally and Frank get along swell! :) Wally is respectful and a great listener. And Frank always has something for them to talk about XD

Something I can see them doing is Wally tagging along with Frank when he goes out to study bugs. Wally makes for good conversation but is also good at staying very still and quiet when they're trying to not to scare away a butterfly.. :0

(In response to this post (?))

I didn't intend for Home to directly project nightmares into Wally's mind or anything. But I imagined his many sleepless nights and constant stress/anxiety is what creates them.. <:(

@minnesotamedic186

XD Factual or Fantasy is fine, also sorry/you're welcome!!(?) XDDDD Either way I'm glad you seem to have liked my artwork!! :}}

Evil Sylvester talks the big talk, but in reality he's such a wimp. XD If he saw an enormous Metagross- even if it was just standing there completely neutral- he'd probably run away screaming XDDD

@ninaandthegames

AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MMUCH!! :DDD And don't give up friend! You improve with every piece you make, it gets easier overtime! :)

@caronaro-flipaclip

I have it saved to my watch later list! :D I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.. <XD

@charactersnatcher

WAHHGGG THANKYIUUUU!!!! :DDDDDD

@xxanxious-anxietyxx

Thank you!! :DD and it was rather funny XDD, although sorry.. I don't take requests! <:/ But don't worry! I'm guaranteed to draw Foxy again at some point XDDD

@neo-metalscottic (Welcome home character chart) (classic FNAF crew) (Last ask with awesome artwork! :} )

Hello hello! :DD I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying my posts recently, thank you so much!! :DDD As for your questions..

Home is interested in Sally because she's so.. strange.. She's a star.. here amongst common people? Walking and talking and dressing like them?.. how odd...

For Julie, Home looks at her and knows this isn't the real her. She is something else beneath the surface. Something much stronger and bigger than she makes herself out to be. Why is she hiding?.. hmm..

And Eddie, well. Its Eddie <XDD Human from our world an all-

As for Poppy, yes yes! Its because she's been around for so long. It used to watch her sleep through her window when she was a child. Well it did, until she made a habit of closing the curtains every night.. I can also imagine that Poppy helped paint Home and what not. Which furthered Homes interest in her :00

As for the FNAF stuff, it was mostly meant to just be a joke, yes. <XD But I did have some thought/structure behind it! :)) The other animatronics might react similarly to Foxy when they overheat. Getting ramblely and disoriented.. eventually just shutting down. But Foxy is particularly vulnerable to heat-

Foxy moves a lot more than the others do. So he's built up a lot more wear and tear than they have. This also means that even though he's missing a lot of his shell all over his body, he still overheats quite frequently..

In that scene, I imagined that Freddy and the gang had preformed a show that day. So Foxy did his friends a solid by pointing the only fan they had towards them..

Unfortunately everyone was too hot and tired to remember that duh, Foxy's internal cooling is shot :x its okay though they were reminded some minutes later when he started rambling about pickles.. <XD

@errorinside

I've always pictured Freddy having a taste for savory things rather than sweet :0 Like pizza! :}}

@i-dogtor-dawg

I've seen a lot of fanart of it! :00 Cat sluggy bois.... I like dem :)

@glitchhayden418

*snimfle... I love her so much.. 🥹💞💞

@artblock200322022

AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DD I'm glad to hear it!! :}}}]

I can imagine that Home has been very tempted to lock Wally inside, but its trying not to spook him away-

Since Barnaby's gotten involved, he's been spending more and more nights at Barnaby's' house.. Home knows that if it comes on too strongly, Wally might just up and leave. So for now it lays low and doesn't lock him inside..

@jean-arclight (Referencing this post)

In that comic I was going to show Ingo and Emmet's first close encounter with a Tarr.. Ingo wasn't there to protect Emmet..

Emmet was fine in the end and ultimately his injuries were minor. Ingo did a great job taking charge and comforting Emmet in the aftermath. So Emmet was mostly mentally ok. But Ingo took this whole situation really hard.. thinking that Emmet almost died today. And Ingo wasn't even there.. it was awful..

Usually Ingo covers up his feelings for Emmet's sake. But this time he couldn't help but just break down in tears. Coming in after Emmet had already fallen asleep and just scoping him up in a tight hug. Emmet was tired and it wasn't great to have woken him up.. but at this point hearing Emmet's voice might have been the only thing that could soothe Ingo..

Also yeah, <XD I'm glad/sad to hear someone relates to my struggles! <XDD I got to the battle scene and lost a lotta steam. 😞 although these angsty paragraphs reminds me of why brainstormed this comic in the first place! :00 Perhaps I'll finish it someday! :}}

@i-only-created-this-to-read

ONE GRAIN OF SAND?? Man.. but I see what you mean! :0 I'll have to think about that..

That nail thing is GENIUS! :00 The first thing that came to mind though was Home poking a nail out and Wally steps on it <XD giving Barnaby a good reason to stay longer to help him out-

Or, if Barnaby stepped on it, Wally would spend a day or two at Barnaby's house to help him with chores. Since he can't walk now <XD What a backfire Home!

I can see home being able to move almost its entire body for short intervals. Kind'a like focusing and tensing your entire body all at once. But if it wants to make significant movements it can only move little bits at a time.

As for the lock, it cant meld or change the shape of the lock. But it can turn the inside of the lock so that a key wont go in. Effectively making you unable to unlock it. And yes! Home can lock all the doors and windows that are apart of it >:)

@abaroo

Well as the asker previously talked about, Home could stick nails up through the floor <XD That would leave a mark..

I was envisioning less of a child with a toy and more like... a scientist with their experiment..?

Home is very curious about Wally and is kind'a experimenting with him. Seeing how long it can stare at him before he wakes up. When he wakes up, what's the first thing he does? How will Wally react to certain creaks and groans of the floor boards?

Although it is a little closer to the child thing when it comes to Barnaby. Home doesn't like Barnaby because he's looking out for Wally prying into this situation, And he keeps offering his home as a safe heaven taking Wally away for days at a time. He's messing with its experiment....

(In response to this post)

I've considered an interaction where the two of them wind up in the same area and start to chat. They joke back and fourth and generally have a nice conversation. At this point Eddie starts to feel bad and apologizes for always avoiding small talk with Wally..

He explains that after his little freak out at the Christmas party, he's always just felt uneasy whenever he would pass by Wally's house. He then says,

"I might sound crazy here, but it always feels like I'm being watched by somethin, haha!.. <XD"

That's when Wally would pause and his tone would shift drastically. With fear in his eyes he replies,

"...You feel it too?"

This would change their dynamic entirely. They'd now see each other as a victim to the same weird anxiety. Finally someone understands what they're feeling..

The only thing keeping me from doing this though, is that if Wally knew that someone else felt that way, it would make his anxiety a lot more real. I kind'a wanna keep this whole stalking situation in Wally's head. Which is why he hasn't just up and moved in with Barnaby.

If he thinks he is the only one experiencing this "being watched" feeling.. then he'll be more likely to tell himself its not real and stay with Home.

Other than this potential interaction, I actually don't really have any current plans for them to grow closer <:( 💔

AAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD Not gonna lie I've been considering it! :00

[ectogeo-rebubbles]

Can I have Siskarak fanfic recs, please? I've only read a few (can't remember too well at 3AM; one on the Defiant comes to mind), and I was surprised by how well the vibe worked!

Oh absolutely. 😈 Fair warning that I’m gonna rec a LOT of my own fics bc I’m shameless like that, but also because I’ve written like 25% of the Siskarak fics that exist. 😂 Of course in addition to my little ramblings, please check all the tags and summaries on these and just read the ones that speak to you! 💖 And now, in no particular order:

so, I lied, I cheated by me - My beloved siskarak novella!! 🥰 It’s an In the Pale Moonlight AU where Sisko and Garak fake an affair to explain why they are meeting together secretly all the time now, so that no one will realize it’s actually bc they’re conspiring to bring the Romulans into the war. It’s a VERY cracky premise, and I then treat the implications of that premise with the utmost severity haha. It’s a big clusterfuck of them making each other worse and ruining each other’s lives but I did aim for a hopeful ending for them and for their healthier relationships (siskasidy and garashir). I’m so proud of it, I have some planted some insane character insights into there that I truly can’t figure out other simpler ways to express/convince people of than by writing them into a complicated angsty porny ITPM-but-way-worse fic.

And Scene by Flazéda (peternurphy) - Obsessed with this one. Sisko and Garak have to go undercover at a sex club, and I am just such a sucked for fake relationship scenarios. I’m also never not thinking about the moment in this fic where Sisko muses internally on how spanking Garak’s ass with a paddle is satisfying in the same way as swinging a baseball bat.

Moonlight Still Casts Shadows by Warpcorps @spocksbeanies - This one is SO HOT. It’s post-ITPM and Sisko is continuing to compromise his morals in delicious, sexy ways to accomplish his goals. 😈 (He’s having sex with Garak to keep him happy and working for him.)

Decadence: In His Service by JA Chapman is soooo good and sooo insane and I want to read approximately 10k more words about the messy, messy scenario described. Siskarak is only a secondary ship, the main one shown is Sloan/Sisko. I don’t particularly buy into it as realistic, but this fic ask all kinds of questions and offers NO answers, and I am driven insane by it every day, I do still recommend. XD

Exaltation by @hellostuffedtiger is another good one involving Sloan and it is much closer to canon than the above hahaha. Sisko and Garak have casual sex, then discuss S31 and Sloan and how to protect Bashir.

going up, going down by me - Crackfic to the max, haha! Garak gives Sisko a blowjob in the turbolift and they get caught.

Plausible Deniability by katiemariie is really interesting and reading it helped kick off my interest in the ship! I do have some small quibbles with it bc I don’t really buy that Garak isn’t interested in Bashir or that Siskarak could actually become a sustainable romantic ship, but oh man other than that the dynamic is great here!

Captain’s Whore by @the-last-dillpickle - Garak pettily making sure everyone knows he’s Sisko’s mistress is just so fun and delightful 😂

partners in crime by anonymous - A tasty little post-ITPM PWP where Sisko does a bit of introspection about himself and Garak’s effect on him.

you’re a criminal as long as you’re mine by me - This might be the one on the Defiant you’re thinking of. It’s set during Second Skin. I wanted to write a lower stakes, chiller, flirtier Siskarak dynamic here and I really really like how it turned out 🥰

A few more very short fics by me:

me and the devil walking side by side

lying down with dogs

dirty little secret

never loved nobody fully (alternate Siskarak ending) (there’s also a podfic of this drabble by klb and blackglass and horchatapods… I know at least one of you is on tumblr and I can’t remember which rn)

Not super shippy but def have some fun and somewhat charged Sisko and Garak interactions:

Farce of the Prophets by @cardassiangoodreads - This one involves Garak messing with Sisko a little bit haha. It’s got those fake relationship elements I love so dearly 🥰

Dance of Fools by stuffedtiger - More Siskarak fake relationship stuff 😈 They dance 🥰

redacted by me - Garak and Sisko figuring out how to work together when they are both stationed on Starbase 375 at the beginning of s6.

This was so fun to put together, thanks for this ask, I love gushing about my fave siskarak fics 💖

Happy Sunday!! Thanks to @fatalfangirl, @facewithoutheart and @artsyunderstudy for the tags! I've written every day this week!!! Some days like 40 words, but I don't care, I'm still stoked about it. This week has been a bit intense in my personal life for reasons that are difficult to explain compactly, but that are good and take a lot of time and effort.

And also I spent a fair amount of my writing time on a worldbuilding -heavy segment of Micah POV (oh, you thought I wouldn't introduce new POV this late int he game? Pfft) which I really like and might entirely scrap. I don't know. Being able to do things like write 1200 words I might not use are, however, the exact reason I am waiting to post this section of ADA, so I feel good about it even if it doesn't make it into the final draft.

Anyway, since there are probably only 2-4 people who care about that segment, I'm going to give you six sentences of Baz macking on his beloved. Sorry, worldbuilding fans.

“You’re killing me, Baz,” he says, and his lips open against my neck, tongue pressing into my skin.

I moan into the open air, pleasure climbing through every nerve. “The feeling is mutual.”

He lifts his chin to kiss me, and I drag my fingers up his back. We don’t really have time to do this, to do anything, but it doesn’t stop me wanting to. I tangle my fingers into his hair and kiss him fiercely.

Fandom friends, I hope you had a lovely week, and that for some of you that means some sentences you want to share. Either way, shall we all just close our eyes for a moment and take a deep breath? <3 @stitchyqueer @thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @hushed-chorus @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @petedavidsonscock @takitalks @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nightimedreamersworld  @chen-chen-chen-again-chen  @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep ​ @shrekgogurt @forabeatofadrum   @palimpsessed @blackberrysummerblog ​

[wirewitchviolet]

I guess the moral is people are not the exact right amount of Online, or something. Also this is my only venting outlet right now can you tell?

So apparently last night was “the Gaming Awards” which I didn’t watch for quite a lot of reasons, and hey, full disclosure I’m not doing any research or digging up old links on anything here, but I’m told at one point some teenager snuck on stage and shouted some kinda vague incoherent gibberish that sounded like some kind of neo-nazi conspiracy talk.

Spoiler: It was.

But apparently that was too simple an answer for some people, so they went trying to work out who this kid was and the first thing they find out is he gets invited on far right talk shows.

Which makes sense, because again, this is not a complicated story.

But... I dunno, I guess people were curious, hey, what did this kid do that people wanted to book him on far right talk shows? Oh well apparently however many years ago it was he did some kind of similar mic grab thing at some other thing to shout something incoherent about Hong Kong.

This makes perfect sense to me, the woman who studies all the dumb thing nazis do, remembering how part of the honestly-thin-enough-there’s-no-excuse-not-to-just-learn-what’s-in-it Nazi playbook, they made a huge push to colonize a major protest in Hong Kong, and were successful to the extent where even if I didn’t keep tabs on these things I probably would have noticed the bit where a bunch of mainstream news people who were paying just enough attention to nazi imagery to spot it in protest coverage and run some “well isn’t that peculiar?” stories but failed to pick up on the deal there.

The deal there by the way is nazis just find anything they can where a lot of young people seem to have a lot of energy and enthusiasm and desperately try to embed themselves both to recruit enthusiastic kids who don’t really know enough about the subject of their enthusiasm that the right buzzwords can groom them into new nazi recruits, and picking up a new cover story to throw the blame onto left-wing stuff when caught committing crimes later. You see this all the time when people fall for it and go on to write stuff like “the shooter didn’t seem to have any clear political motive. While his social media feed included some horrible antisemitic propaganda, he was a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders in 2015,” etc.

So OK nothing contradicts the obvious thing that the weird kid the far right loves shouting about Jews and the Clintons was just some nazi kid, but... yeah I’m seeing news stories talking about how he has a history of supporting good political causes and it’s a shame he didn’t do that instead of shouting inane gibberish. Like, no, this is the op now, that was the op then, this isn’t complicated people.

But since I’m still knocked off the site where people tend to talk about these things, I’m basically reading about this over someone’s shoulder, and I see an exchange in the comments thread under someone posting one of these stories, where one person says “wow this kid is way too online, he really needs to go out and touch grass” and then someone (probably a nazi? Seemed like there were a lot in the thread but it’s annoying to check when I can’t log in) responds to that with “how dare you suggest this child self-harm!?” and like... whether you’re being a disingenuous weirdo pretending to believe this or you actually believe this, the premise you’re running with is that the phrase “touch grass” is somehow violent? Like, how does this work? Is the grass in your mind razor-sharp? Should foot or hand meet it, the flesh shall be sliced to ribbons and the child may die? That’s... a new and interesting bit of nonsense.

... I wasn’t building to any sort of larger point here. Just I dunno, when the weird person says the stuff that sounds like nazi crap and then cursory research says nazis love’em, stop there and save yourself some time? Otherwise you end up where I am here looking at some weirdo shouting about people threatening to murder children because someone suggested maybe a young child should be like playing tag rather than getting groomed by nazis into pulling weird stunts.

[kavaeroexe]

Can I get uhhhhhhh yandere Fu hua head canons please???? Maybe with a s/o who's also a valkyrie but doesn't have many fighting skills so they work in information gathering or making/designing battle suits and weapons? Thank youuu

Okaayyy! love you for trusting your ideas with me! <3

Cinderella

Fu Hua x Reader

warning : typos, bad grammar  

attention! please do not try to repost my works, i only post my works on tumblr, if anyone see someone stole my works please inform me through the comments, tag me in the works, or message me!    

Not many people know you, but you work behind the ‘stages’ so you gotta say people rely on you a lot even though nobody really got to know you in academy, you are a Valkyrie, the one who also protect humanity, but you never really needed on the frontline, because your specialty is to designed what the Valkyrie need to use, such as weapon and Battlesuit.

you met many people, teacher, student, any Valkyrie, but they don’t recognize you since you just one of the workers in Schiksal, moreover you still being a student, you’re not yet to officially become the worker behind the stage, but you recognize and remembers every single one that comes to the lab and ask for repairing or new design for weapons and Battlesuit, or even try to find parts for ship, like Hyperion.

still, you learned the basics to fight and you masters how to use you choice weapon, that’s why you’re in Schicksal, that’s why you gave up on your dream, because you want to protect humanity in every way, whether on frontline or behind the line.

but still, the one you recognized the most is Fu Hua, that is always being called ‘class president’ by Kiana Kaslana, to be honest, she’s the most skillful one among all the student you know all this time, surely by the facts, Kiana appear to have a higher Honkai energy based on their test, yet Fu Hua is promising to be a good Valkyrie more than Kiana Kaslana does.

every time you saw her she’s usually ask about new design for a weapon, an fortunately, you’re the one responsible on he weapon’s project

so you always find her in yo study and work time

but its not rare that you met her in lunch time or break, because she grows from day to day to know about you, she slowly open to you about many things, about the dorm, her mission, and her problem with class, to be honest, you truly enjoyed it

but not just in making weapon or battlesuit, you sometimes get a mission to gather information, or you’re being an intel, so its not rare as well to see Fu Hua asking for information before the mission start, and since you both on the same academy and stage, you’re the one responsible to tell all the information you find, since then Fu Hua trusts you a lot since you skill at information gathering is something else, its detailed and easy to understand, and doesn’t take a long time to explain, means everyone can save their time to understanding the mission

“Nice to work with you again Y/N” 

“Nice to be partner with you again as well, Fu Hua”

many of her friends start to be friend with you as well, and start pairing you with Fu Hua, such as...

“You both are a reliable friend, you know, you and class president, you know each other for a long time?”-Mei

“you should kiss her, y’know that designer.. that inte-ARGH CLASS PRESIDENT DON’T SLAP MY FACE-” -Kiana to Fu Hua

NOW FOR THE YANDERE PORTION

she knows that you’re not that strong to be in frontline of mission, and she felt relieved everytime you ‘know your place’ and make yourself in a safe place

what she doesn’t like about you joining a mission is that when the enemy knows where you are and you sometimes doesn’t put any attention to it

she doesn’t mind protecting you, but what if she couldn’t make it?

people have their own weakness, and your weakness is you’re not so careful on your surroundings.

so when you’re decide to join a mission, she will start to find a way from a to z just for you reconsidering your choice joining the mission

she always scared that when she comes back, you wouldn’t be at you room (if she able to make you canceling you decision join the battle field)

she isn’t that kind of a brutal yandere, but the worse case she could do to you if you being a blockhead and denying her idea, she’s knock you to sleep, or sleep drugging

she felt very bad about it tho, so she doesn’t do it often to you

plus she doesn’t want you to be mad to her

worst feeling ever if you do

i think she’ll be an Asian mom who’ll cut fruit and bring it to your room as a form of ‘sorry’, not because she can’t say sorry, is just she thinks that you’ll need some time alone so she’ll cut the best fruit she got so you’re not that hungry while taking your time alone

[lolita-lollipop]

Hi could I get some headcanons for a yandere demon who was accidentally summoned by a child and the demon realizes that the small child just wanted someone to play with. The parents neglects the child and even when the kid comes into the room with the demon the parents are like “go play somewhere else sweetie” so the demon is basically just like “yup this child is mine” and just takes the child to the underworld with them, thank you 🥺

I started a one shot on this, and then realized that you wanted headcannons, so there is totally gojnng to be a part two of this that is the actual process. Kk, into it now.

I had to skip through th me “kidnapping” one, because there isn’t much to describe about it.

(I can’t tag you since your anonymous, but Just know I’ll post it in the next few days)

———————————————————————

-he, of course, meets you after you summon him with the ritual you saw in a picture book. He’s actually quite suprised that a child summoned him just to play trains in a sandbox. It isn’t like he can go anywhere till you dismiss one of the candle flames, so he just sits down and humors you.

-he is quite confused on the fact that you want him to play with you, and not some of your friends. You seem like a sweet little one, very polite indeed, and you haven’t even judged him on his demonic appearance, usually humans run screaming from the red tint in his skin, black eyes, and large horns. So he is very intrigued by you.

-usually, he’s not one for human sympathy, mainly because they treat him likes he’s some monster from hell (which he is), But it still hurts. You on the other hand, don’t even seem to care at all about the fact, you are treating him like some friend, not a demonic pet for you to order around. He immediately feels a bond between the two of you, it might be one sided, but still, you are just too sweet for this blasted world you’ve been shoved in.

-when he learns that this precious’s little thing that is you, has never felt any sort of love, even though you are just a ball of heaven, he is angry. Humans are nasty, vile creatures, the one time, the ONE TIME that one isn’t taking advantage of him, someone is openly hurting them? This is where the yandere-ness starts, he might not have known you for long, but he immediately feels protective, how could someone hurt such a little thing like you? That should be counted as a criminal act.

-when you let him out of the star (with his careful instruction to only blow away one of the lines) he’ll immediately grab your hand, and hoist you up to his chest, which by the way, is 8 feet off the ground. He’ll ask you where these “parents” of yours are, whilst rubbing circles back and forth on your shoulders with his warm hands. You point towards the little blue house where you lived, and he’ll go walking in there like he owns the place. When you say you made a new friend, your mommy jsut sheigged you off and told you to go play because she’s busy and can’t deal with you. This triggers him to a whole new level.

-he’ll take you back outside immediately, and set you in the center of the star, shooting a flew unstoppable flames into the blue house, then he’ll ask you to draw a new line for the star, and you and him both are transported into the world of the under, the last remains of earth in Your mind consisted of a few feminine screams.

“This child is mine now. Filthy human.”

Treatment:

-when arriving in literal hell, you would find that it’s surprisingly normal, actually pretty beautiful if you were to ask me. The sky was black, and the plants and ground were red. But it was such a pretty sight. You wowed at whatever this place was, while holding onto the side of his arm.

-this man, treats you like a little princess, his little princess of course. He dresses you in the finest of clothing, feeds you the best food, and plays the best games with you. He chooses to ill the role of your parent, mainly because the human scum who called themselves your biological parents, were cowards, and didn’t deserve the title. You’ll see him attempt to imitate a human parent, but soon just say “Aw fuck it” and go his own way.

-he doesn’t really get mad at you, in fact it’s very hard for him to even feel slightly annoyed at you, none of the things you do are intentional, so most of the things that could annoy him get blamed on someone else.

-is the most overprotective being you’ll ever meet, not letting you do even the simplest of tasks because “you could get hurt”, apparently you are too fragile to complete basic tasks. He’ll help you get dressed, he’ll fed you, he’ll literally carry you everywhere, all the while he’ll be scaring away any other demons from his manor in case they smelled the sweet child that you are, and wanted it for themselves.

-you’re his best friend, but even so, you have to go back home at some point right? Wrong, he’ll make you think as if whatever place you were before, where you were neglected, and ignored, was nothing but a dream, when you ask any questions about it, he’ll shush you and tell you that it’s nap time or something.

-he doesn’t care at all if you miss your mommy and daddy, he never did understand why humans could form attachments to people who mistreat them. He’ll grow angered, not at you of course, you aren’t trying to do it on purpose, but more so at everyone in your past life that’s keeping you from him. So he might pull a few strings with some humans int he surface that are in debt to him, and bam, your old school, your fathers house, your friends horns, everything in town, has now burst into flames.

-nicknames include: littles, little one, child

Punishment:

-as I said he doesn’t get mad very easily, busy he also won’t tolerate a certain level of disobedience. That being said, he will never even think about embolism any form of physical pain upon you. Resorting to more tactical options.

-hell just scare you, like letting you wander out when it’s parent of that darker times (they don’t have days down here), and letting any demons come close to you, you of course, beings tiny little human faces with a huge snake thing, scream and cry for your best friend to come save you. Which he does, and engulfs you in his arms, boucning you up and down while shushing Youa Dan striking your hair.

-hell lecture you and tell you this is why you can’t leave him, then changing you out of the dirty clothing, and tucking you into bed.

Cuddles:

The two of you have quite the size difference, so snuggling with him would be hard, but not impossible. He is actually quite gentle with you, noting how easy it would be to crush you under his weight, so he’ll gently set you on top of him, over his chest, where he’ll wrap his arms around your sister, and keep his hands over your shoulders.

-or he’ll set your form in his lap, protective encasing his arms over your chest while you rest your head in his.

-where he comes from, it’s a sight of dominance to hiss at others, so you’ll literally be just perched in his lap while he’s hissing like a cat at another demon like 👁👄👁

Thanks for requesting, have a great day anon, bye!

As the Scardubs person on my dash, i need to ask, do you have any Scardubs fic recs?

Well let's see here I don't have many because I enjoy reading them but I would not. Recommend them. not int he nsft way though a lot of them are but just that while I read them they're not what I would show people and go You Have To Read It

That said you have Secondhand Embarassment by dontrollthedice the first ever I read because I found it scrolling down the tag on Tumblr and arguably what shoved me into this rabbit hole. Honestly incredible how it still crushes my innards with the feeling of needing to leave this room immediately

oh i would hate that (lets aggressively flirt and piss off etho) by bdoubleds still very grateful for this one it's based off of this post! very epic bit suggestive

Sour Candy by anonymous love this one! drunk makeouts and very obviously crushing Scar, plus quality hermit interactions, 10/10

Competitive Nature by amooniesong, also very cute! technically a Christmas fic, we love a friendly rivalry

Here you go king have fun ^^

[artaline]

Being able to chat about a hyperfixation (and especially a crossover of them) is very exciting, thank you very much for replying!!

Viren is a fun character, but it does often feels like he's suffering from the same (or similar) affliction as James Norrington hah.

Re: BG3, I feel like Wyll and Gale's situation with Mizora and Mystra (and general player's with Dream Visitor) kind of all do in some way correlate with Viren and Aaravos. Not as a direct parallel, but enough to feel like some sort of a pattern.

Aaravos is offering Viren advice and magical power, in a way similar to warlock's patron

TDP magic being divided into elemental and dark is somewhat parallel to how BG3 presents Mystra's and Karsus' Weave. Aesthetically speaking, the orb's lines are similar to the way the dark magic affects the mages

Wyll's eye aesthetically is similar to the eye spell thing, which allows Viren to see ghost!Aaravos. And given that Wyll's eye is also a sending stone, there are similar privacy gripes here

The complex relationship to the artifact both being source of power/autonomy and prison. The prism being a D20, where TDP's "Aaravos's key" is a D6.

None of these are exact 1:1s, but they feel at least like they share common inspirations.

You are right, "subverting" is perhaps not the best word. And "willful blindness" is a good descriptor of Harrow's situation.

Re: orphanage/trolley problem - for sure! Like you say, tags/replies ultimately are somewhat shortform, and it's hard to put in all the necessary nuance into them.

Honestly, I think the reason I am still not over TDP is exactly those constant trolley problems.

Sacrifice king vs sacrifice random guard vs sacrifice royal mage-advisor

Sacrifice your only "clean" source of magic vs let the dragon egg die (man, I am still somewhat upset about them letting Callum just do primal magic, I feel like S1 ending was so much more impactful if that was dark magic or bust)

Sacrifice people of your own kingdom vs doom people of neighboring kingdom vs kill a single magical creature but lose the lives of the people you care about in the process

And in many cases BG3 is offering the player similar choices, but generally, due to it being a game, these choices are kinder? You can always reload and try the other option, other character, other ending. BG3 has plenty of trauma and sadness, but you can always kind of navigate towards the "Good" ending.

Meanwhile TDP does often feel very much like a tragedy. Viren and Harrow do care about each other. Viren and Soren do care about each other. Viren and Claudia do care about each other. But it's that care and love ultimately that makes them make these dark messy destructive choices.

"not in the sense of trying to fool anyone, but more in the sense of they don't recognize it themselves" - yesss, they have a narrative of the self which they are roleplaying, but that idealized narrated image is kind of a rug covering up the real raw conflicting self. Viren takes in "I am a servant" for his narrative. And he does want to be useful, but he also wants to be appreciated and listened to.

Re: Gale, it's not canon, but I do really like the idiot sandwich comic by @swimmingtrunks. "I'm quite good at this sort of thing" really nails it for me. It is his self image that he's good at solving puzzles and riddles (which to be fair he should be with that INT stat). It is also his self image that he is smart and worthy. But he needs that external validation to actually feel worthy, and that's something the narrated image can't do.

Sorry for taking a while to reply. Tumblr post meta register is nice, but it does feel like it takes a lot more effort to write than casual discord chatter.

Coming into BG3 BladeWeave (Wyll x Gale) from TDP Virrow (Viren x Harrow) is kind of a weird experience. Admittedly, the big part of the initial draw for me was the matching aesthetics between them, and, obviously, they are not the same characters. But in terms of narrative draws they do have lots of common themes that it feels more like a conversation.

Wyll, raised by a leader to be a leader, ends up accepting demonic warlock pact with Mizora to protect Baldur’s Gate. And is banished by his own father because the pact forbids him to share his reasons. This does mesh with themes of dark magic in TDP and how it’s distasteful, but instrumental in keeping Katolis safe – and how if Harrow didn’t have Viren to do the dirty work for him, he may have had to make these choices all on his own, ending up with debts and scars and stigma of it all.

Meanwhile, if human dark magic was not stigmatized, it’s easy to see Viren in the role of Gale – a successful and ambitious archmage. This background almost seems lighthearted in comparison, with Gale not really being involved in politics. But not having all the same challenges doesn’t free Gale from hardship – his ambition has to go somewhere. Both of the characters’ cores are ultimately about their drive in serving others and challenging the forbidden. And both of them have to deal with divorce/breakup, and the weight of positive utility of their death for the people they care about.

Bladeweave in relation to Virrow feels like a fix-it power balancer ship – they both fuck things up, and have their insecurities, but they can make each other better.

And it is a little funny to me that I keep chatting to my TDP friends about bladeweave with all the joyful excitement – “Just imagine, ‘Harrow’ has horns!” “’Viren’ has a magical cancer bomb in his chest, what fun!”. But I do struggle to go full propaganda the other way.

TDP is ultimately a kids show, and some of the narrative decisions are v much not my jam. Half of my favorite ship (Virrow) has been dead (or as good as dead) since s1e3, but it still lives rent free in my mind. I guess it is just the near shakespearian tragedy of them. Which I suppose does highlight the biggest potential draw for any BladeWeave appreciators: they have SO much history together.

Basically, imagine that Wyll and Gale grew up together. Imagine that Gale has served as a mage to Wyll’s family. They both want to do the best for the Baldur’s Gate, but that often means accepting dangerous ‘demonic pacts’. Gale has been taking the burnt of those onto himself, ruining his personal relationships for the sake of the greater good. And as much as Wyll is accepting of that, he is also at least a little disgusted at the cost, and at himself for letting it happen. And both of them are not very good at letting things go.

Virrow is a trainwreck that keeps going, and I just can’t turn away.

The Deadly Romantics- Kaz Brekker

The Deadly Romantics masterlist

Want to be added to the tag list? drop a note into my inbox, send me a message, or respond to this post asking to be added, and you’ll be tagged in all future chapters!

This is part six! Go back and read chapters 1-5 if you haven’t read those already.

Chapter specific warnings- mentions of death. axe wielding, how to fire a weapon from a high vantage point, and poison is mentioned once, and robbing a bank is mentioned once, 

KAZ BREKKER

As Kaz sat down on the plush chair, Samantha sitting to his left, he could’ve gotten whiplash. It felt like he’d just been interviewed, and suddenly he was in for his second interview in the last days before going into the games. 

The training had at least proved a bit effective, with Kaz having received the slightest idea of how to properly wield an axe, how to accurately fire a weapon from a high vantage point, what in the area could be considered good food, what was more than likely poisoned. All in all, Kaz had some idea that surviving, though far off, was still a possibility. 

“You seemed rather… indifferent about your situation during our last meet,” Samantha said. “Having gone and trained, having put some emphasis on your skills, would you say that you still feel the same?”

“It is my belief that indifference is the best way to feel toward these games,” he was a lot more conscious of his word choice, simply for the fact that he was genuinely trying to be liked, trying to get sponsors that’d help him—even in the smallest capacity—to make it to the end, to see that he was one of two victors. “I don’t think that being cocky or too confident is the way to go about it, but I also was miserable when I was going in while anticipating my own death. Indifference seems to me, the best way to feel about this at all.” 

“Have you somehow grown wiser in your days of training?” Samantha asked playfully. Kaz played the part. He laughed, smiled, shook his head.

“I’ve had a lot of time for quiet contemplation,” he said, knowing that it was bullshit. He wouldn’t’ve had time, if not for the fact that he was often awake past midnight, back pressed against the wall as he tried to think of every problem, then tried to think of a solution to those problems, like he was planning on doing something like robbing a bank and simultaneously trying to avoid getting caught. “It’s led to a lot of realizations like that one.”

“So, you’re going into the games with the hope of survival?” Not necessarily. He just knew that he was going to fight until something stopped him. “Your mindset appears to have changed in regards to how you’re going to play these games, Mr. Brekker. I must say, it is a change I appreciate.”

“I thank you for appreciating it,” Kaz said. “And yes. I do hope to survive. In the end, surviving is my goal, I suppose.” It should’ve been his goal all along, really. Jordie had died in the games. Kaz didn’t want to die, not like Jordie had. 

Kaz had never done anything to honor his brother. A small place had been set in the graveyard of District Twelve for him, one that Kaz placed flowers on every year, but that was all he did.

Fighting in the Hunger Games was not Kaz’s choice, but he would find a way to use the games as a reminder that people died, needlessly, in tribute to a failed rebellion every single year. Two tributes from each district to honor a rebellion attempt that the Capitol ended up defeating. It was unjust, unfair. The rebellion had failed. The Capitol had defeated it, so what was the point in holding the games yearly, anyway? Other than for the sake of some twisted, severely fucked up tradition?

“Well, it’s lovely to see that you’ve taken to being more optimistic,” Samantha stood, and so too did Kaz. “Kaz Brekker of District Twelve, everyone!” And, just like that, the interview was over, and Kaz was walking down the steps as Y/N walked up them, leaning his back against the wall, standing next to Nikolai and Alina as they watched the interview from the television screen tucked into the wall.

“Y/N L/N, the Capitols favorite spitfire!” Samantha introduced. Y/N smiled, and the two of them sat down.

“Are you feeling prepared to go into these games?”

“Prepared enough, I would say,” Y/N said. “There’s only so much preparation that can be done, really. I like to believe I’ve done it all, but I can’t be sure.” Honesty, it seemed, was Y/Ns objective that time around. There probably wasn’t going to be any kind of a spitfire-esque remark, unless Genya decided to tell Y/N that the Capitol had assigned them a brand and it was something they should’ve stuck to.

“Good,” Samantha said. “The word is that your training went well, with you not having put a focus on your skills as an Inferni. Can you explain such choice?”

“Kaz and I both did it that way,” Y/N said. “It was at the suggestion of our mentors, of course. They advised that we developed more skills than the ones we already had. Kaz didn’t focus much on hand-to-hand combat, and I didn’t focus much on my skills as an Inferni, because there’ll be weapons in the arena. It’s best that we know how to use them. Not knowing how to is what gets us killed, and that’s not the objective I have, nor is it the one that Kaz has.”

“Smart,” Samantha said. “You said, in your first interview, that you’re fighting on the behalf of your family. Is as much still true?”

“Yeah, very much so,” Y/N said, nodding as they spoke. “I’m doing it for them, and for the district that’s had only two victors in these games across the seventy-odd years they’ve been happening.” Nikolai and then Alina were the only two victors that twelve had ever seen across seventy years of the Games in action. If they won, Y/N and Kaz would be the first victors in two years, only the third and fourth victors of twelve across seven decades of fighting.

“And you want to do it for honor to your name and to your district?”

“Precisely,” you said, nodding. “My goal is to survive, and if I do, I’ll make sure the ones who’ve died get proper memorials. The tributes of twelve may be gone, but they are certainly not forgotten. At least not to Kaz and myself.”

They’d discussed the way that Y/N would answer the questions the morning before they were interviewed. Kaz knew that Samantha would likely ask again about Jordie and try to get the sponsors to take pity on him, where Samantha would ask about Y/N about strategy for the most part, as they’d kept the attempts at getting sympathy points from the sponsors to a minimum. The message Y/N was sharing was one they both had agreed on, one that neither of them were sure Y/N would have the chance to spread.

“Tributes such as the young Jordie Rietveld?”

“Him, and every other life sacrificed in the name of entertainment to the ones living in the Capitol,” you said, nodding. “The Capitol so is good at making us make sacrifices, trying to force us to forget that the people we lose in the games aren’t just names, faces that we saw for a brief moment in time. They’re family. They’re friends. These people mattered once, and there is no reason except for the fact that it is of the Capitols discretion that we forget about them, the impacts they’ve had on our lives.”

“There’s the spitfire,” Samantha said. “I knew you’d bring it out eventually. For your family, for your district, and for the ones the Capitol has tried to make you forget.”

“For every tribute from Twelve, every member of every family that has been lost to the games that the Capitol makes us play,” Y/N said. “They might be gone, but they are not forgotten. Not to myself or my fellow tribute.”

Kaz tore his eyes from the screen, looked to Nikolai and Alina, both of whom were smiling. “They’d be a wonderful face for a rebellion,” nobody else was around, no cameras in sight, though Nikolai was the son of the president, so Kaz doubted he had to worry at all. “The firebird, I can already see it.”

“Rebellion will get all of us killed, Nik,” Alina said. “Worry about it when your father next does something that makes every single person throughout the districts hate him.”

“Brekker, if you don’t make it through this, I’ll resuscitate you and kill you again myself,” Nikolai said. Kaz turned his gaze to the screen again, watching as your interview concluded.

“I’ll do my best.” And he would.

Kaz Brekker was not going into the games to die.

Not anymore.

like i seriously don’t understand how people see real actual critique of a piece of work and take it as a personal attack and say shit like “let people have fun” as if pointing out flaws and discussing something is something that can’t be fun as if the only way to have fun with anything is to just turn off your brain and consume. or that someone not liking something is somehow physically stopping you from having fun. how do you develop like this. how do you LIVE like this

Unpopular opinion or whatever but I feel like a lot of you people forget that white cis gay men are still erm. Oppressed. For being gay. Like there is this almost gleeful excitement to jump on and mock any gay white man whenever he does something mildly stupid or annoying which is like ok whatever but like I have seen people calling these dudes f*ggots and calling for conversion therapy and electro shock and aids or whatever like some of you do need to get your asses beat for that I won’t lie

[cleosven]

Thanks @moonythendwitch!! I love these kinds things lol

1. Are you named after anyone?

I’m named after my mom’s grandpa and his sister (they were given the feminine and masculine versions of the same name because their parents didn’t understand how confusing that would be). My dad wanted to name me Clifford (yes, like the big red dog) and I’m happy everyday that he didn’t get his way

2. When was the last time you cried?

Like 5 mins ago. I cry like all the time tho, so no need to be concerned 

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. 

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I don’t think so. I’m pretty bad at understanding sarcasm in general, but sometimes I repeat phrases that I’ve heard like “yeah, right” when I mean “no” but it’s not intentional

5. Why is there no question number 5???????

This is a good question. I’m going to say it’s a good reminder that life doesn’t make sense, and it’s ok to just accept it and move onto the next thing (in this case, question 6) 

6. What's your eye colour?

I’d say blue, but most people I meet think my eyes are grey 

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings forever and ever! But like actually happy, like if the character was better off without the love interest, they don’t get together int he end. I also don’t mind scary movies if they have happy endings. But I can’t do war movies, no matter how happy the ending is, because I know those characters blowing up in the background really did die and I can’t get over it. I need fiction 1000%

8. Any special talents?

I’m ambidextrous, I’m great at romantically attracting people who don’t actually want to be with me, and I make an amazing grilled cheese. (I know one of these isn’t like the others, but you’ve got things to do, posts to read, no reason to dwell here)

9. Where were you born?

In a bathtub in a cabin on top of a mountain during a snow storm (prob not the question, but it’s a more fun answer than my country)

10. What are your hobbies?

Currently, um, watching all of Netflix, interacting w/ people on tumblr, writing tylorpe fics, over thinking things. But if you want, like, new info, I also sew clothes, write scientific research papers for no reason, and do UX design

11. Do you have any pets?

I don’t, but my sibling has a Great Pyr mix who is a giant sleepy floof, and my SO’s fam just got a mini-schnauzer who is a cute lil tornado of teeth and claws

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I played soccer in elementary school, but when I hit middle school my parents were like “you should only do things that make you happy” and wearing those tall soccer socks was killing me, so I quit. Then in high school they were like “just kidding, you have to do a sport to get into college” so I did swim team, and I did that nerd-to-hot transformation so I like can’t even be mad at my parents about it

13. How tall are you?

Maybe 5′9″(~175 cm) which is strange. I’m the shortest person on both sides of my family, of any gender. My dad’s like 6′5��� (~196 cm) so yeah idk what happened

14. Favorite subject in school?

I literally loved every subject. I love school and learning, but I felt kinda bad picking a favorite (like Phoebe from friends style). But I’ll say science, because it stressed me out the least  

15. Dream job?

Currently? The most realistically possible job that would still be a dream: UX designer for tumblr. Reach dream job, that could still technically happen: Netflix tv show writer. Most impossible dream job: getting paid to go to do whatever I want, like write and talk to people, and still get the feeling that I’m contributing to society

And if you’re wondering, yes, I did have too much fun with these questions

15 Questions, 15 Mutuals

Thanks for the tag @sillyliterature !!

1. Are you named after anyone? 

No, my mom suggested naming me after one of her friends but my parents didn't end up picking that name!

2. When was the last time you cried?

This month, can't remember exactly when but definitely this month

3. Do you have kids?

Not at the moment!

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I used to, but I've dropped it as I've gotten older. Now I only use it to make exaggerated jokes.

6. What's your eye color? 

Blue

7. Scary movies or happy endings? 

Happy endings for sure, I've never been a fan of scary movies

8. Any special talents?

Hmmm... I can do voices and (some) accents? Idk if that counts but it's really useful for dnd, haha~

9. Where were you born? 

The Netherlands

10. What are your hobbies? 

The biggest one is writing for sure! I also love playing dnd, playing video games, reading, visiting bookstores, going on walks, singing (not especially good at it but love it anyway), sewing... I'll try just about anything, but those are my favs!

11. Have you any pets? 

If my family's cat counts, then yes, even if he sadly doesn't live at my place. If I could, I'd adopt 2 cats right now.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

Right now, none. I don't like sports, generally speaking, though I love dancing and used to do kickboxing.

13. How tall are you? 

like 168cm I think

14. Favorite subject in school? 

English, Spanish, History, and depending on the teacher, Chemistry

15. Dream job? 

Full-time author... that would be so amazing

[ciderspunk2077]

You should drop your fic ideas and headcanons ((if you want to))!! All of the ones I’ve seen on your blog are really good I know I would love to hear more 👀

Oh Tysm 🥺💦 I’m real shy online about sharing headcannons cuz it’s mostly me going back and forth w/ @ Smeriic talking and shit scheming together and all that on our own. But I rly am hyperfixated in this game and would love to share some stuff. Also what inspires me to want to write. I will say I RP quite often and for years now so the way I talk and type doesn’t exactly reflect my writing skill so sorry if this answer becomes like... all over the place 😭💦💦

But basically we really like default fem V but sort of like with some twists I guess, most of our headcannons are formed around her? Mostly Headcannons not rly an original V w/ a name or anything. But basically V only goes by V and The name they use at clouds is her deadname. Especially cuz she says “only people real close can say that” but like Jackie, mama Welles, Vik, none of them rly did so we (now logically speaking I understand this is a developer thing, so re-recording lines and etc BUT as someone with a deadname It felt really validating to have that scene and have ppl never call her that name ever cuz she doesn’t let them) (my tag for V will be “ V ( ) ”)

I’m really bad and typing on my phone. So sorry about my organization and text speech ;-;💦 another thing is that We HC we as a she/they.

Our path is basically, Fem!V, streetkid, and Sun ending for her. She is super in denial and has had tons of shitty exes not like super bad experiences just- never really had a rly successful relationship. Johnny definitely teases her about her shitty experiences on occasion.

MOST OF THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IM SO SORRY

V hates corporate wars (the musical) and is that typical “I just don’t get why they’re fucking singing and dancing” type of person. She finds it annoying as shit. (Couldn’t be me I love musicals shdjdjf)

V is a solo. Dump the INT/net running stuff. She’s got that energy. She’s not like stupid or anything but she’s got mega ADHD and acts it sometimes. Flighty I think is the word? Also our V tried to get into netrunning as a teen but quit it because she found is wasn’t as easy as the datapools made it seem.

A sad HC we have is that V really loves and cares about panam, Judy, River, Kerry, etc but they never pursue a fulfilling romance with any of them (aside from the initial hook up and shit) because they feel like it’s unfair to become close with others in their life due to their imminent death. Also pushing ppl away is probably another fact of them being a lonesome figure and Johnny’s personality traits rubbing off maybe. (This is a form of self harm shhddndnf but V feels so isolated in their experience and alone and scared)

V pushes her limits a lot of the time. Doing too many gigs, trying to fit too many jobs at once simply because she feels her time is rushed

She got the chippin’ in and animal skull tattoo when she was 17 and had a brief phase of samurai cuz as an edgy 17-year old thought it’d be cool as fuck. Later she got the snake and others to add to her ink.

Another HC that she was a straight edge who doesn’t smoke or do much other than drink on occasion. She only smokes for Johnny if he’s a really good boy :-) (which he is NEVER, and also it’s a veiled excuse to smoke for herself from stress) but slowly starts smoking bit by bit as it goes on.

I need to like write this stuff on a laptop but I feel terribly for leaving ppl hanging so I might edit this tomorrow or just rewrite the post later 🥺💦

Vincent is her brother- he lives back in Atlanta still tryna make it. So basically we have a reverse where it explains the male and fem v and all that. They both go to Atlanta. Whichever returns to night city is the one that does the whole games story etc etc. very fun we talk about it a lot.

Also uuuuh our HC is Johnny and V in love ahebdndnfjd 😭 not anything original though. It’s just an intimate and unconditional experience.

Also thank my soulmate smeriic for makin’ all these amazing doodles of V and Johnny 👉👈 I might join in and make some Johnny v art as well to compliment if I write any fics. Just to have something to tag them along with

[yanderepuck]

The way that the other anon handled the way they spoke was definitely a little out of line but I have to agree with their point about tagging. I'm not going to list a bunch of things or whatever but all we ask is that you tag your posts with trigger warnings at least for the sake of the minors that may follow you.

Your content is great and your blog is a lot of fun to interact with what with your ocs and everything but it becomes a little hard to enjoy it when there's triggering content coming up. I'm not saying stop posting said content but, as politely as I can, all I request is that you tag it accordingly.

We could just follow the tags that you post in but, with tumblr's new based on your likes thing the personal stuff that you may post can still very well come up on people's dashes and they can't really avoid it because they have no tags that they can filter out.

On another note, stay safe and take care of yourself. Take a break of you need to and have a glass of water, maybe take a moment to breath of need be. I apologise if this ask comes off as at all offensive or rude, that's not my intention and I genuinely wish you a good rest of the year

This. This is how you come to someone about this.

I hear you, and your concerns and there is a higher possibility that I will do so, however, int he moment of one of these breakdowns I'm not thinking very well. I'm not thinking "oh lets tw tag this"

Not saying that is an excuse, just simply stating.

I also had no idea tumblr had that feature tbh???? I haven't gotten it on my blog, only tag and blogs i follow. So that is good to know.

This ask doesn't come off as rude as all. You put it how one should so I applaud at that

Scene 2: Int. Cape Evans, The Tenements

As usual, the version with all the pictures can be found at the original blog. I am not even going to try fixing the image tags here because that has never worked, but I think the images show up after a few hours, so um ... check back maybe? Or refresh? You're better off going to the source, though. Sorry.

As we walk deeper into the hut from the mens’ quarters, coming through the gap in the bulkhead, the view looks like this:

Today we’re going to look at the section to our left, or mapping the hut in nautical terms, starboard amidships. This is the area of the hut that was known as ‘The Tenements’ for how crowded and relatively sloppily built the bunks were. One very famous photo of The Tenements has all its residents in their places and shows this area at its most lived-in – it was October 1911, everyone had spent a winter in their little domains, and were about to set off on the journey for the Pole.

This is The Tenements as they appeared in November 2019:

The first thing that struck me about seeing the Tenements in person was how small they were. Scale in Ponting’s photograph is thrown off partly by the framing, but mostly by everyone lying down aside from the shortest of the Tenements’ tenants, Birdie Bowers. To my surprise, I could easily see over the top bunks, and I am only 5’6”.

We’re going to start at the forward end, with Cherry and Birdie’s bunks. Cherry is the main character in my graphic adaptation of his book, and I’ll be drawing a lot from his point of view, so getting a really solid idea of his bunk area was a must.

Although the Tenements photo has everyone with their heads at the public end of their bunks, they probably slept the other way around, for such privacy and quiet as one could find with 25 men in a 50’x25’ room. While the Cape Evans hut feels like it’s full of stuff now, comparing the modern hut with the Tenements photo above, you’ll see just how much more stuff there was back in 1911!

Cherry was a great fan of Kipling, and brought his whole collection with him – these likely lived on the small shelf you can see against the hut wall. The bed is now covered with stray bits of clothing, and one of the socks has Cherry’s name sewn into it, so I assume the others have been identified as his too.

The ladder leads up to Bowers’ bunk, so let’s take a look at that …

This is the foot end, which he also used as a desk, as you can see in the Ponting photo. The boards blocking it off from the main hut weren’t there in October 1911, so they may have been added the second winter, but Scott’s men weren’t the only ones to have used this hut – a couple of years after they left, Shackleton’s Ross Sea Party moved in, and one of them may have moved into Bowers’ bunk and sought some extra privacy.

But the real treasure of Bowers’ bunk is at the other end …

It’s his hat! The actual Green Hat of legend – less green than I was expecting, but definitely the same one as in all his photos. I was so pleased that, of all things, it should still be here – that he didn’t take it on the Southern Journey, that the Ross Sea Party had let it be, and that it hadn’t been pilfered in the years of uncontrolled hut visits before the AHT took charge.

The photo below the hat, I suspect, originally belonged to Cherry. He had found a photo of the actress Marie Lohr in a magazine and wanted it for a pinup, but one of Ponting’s photographs was on the other side of the page. and Ponting thought that was the object of his affection. He offered to mount it nicely for Cherry, which would have meant gluing the lovely Miss Lohr to the mounting board, and with some flustered embarrassment Cherry’s intentions came out. I had some photos of Marie Lohr; none of them are the photo in the hut, but she looks to me like the same person. How it got from Cherry’s bunk to Birdie’s I don’t know – the AHT have been very careful about giving items to the correct people, so it must have been found there. Perhaps the member of the Ross Sea Party who took Birdie’s bunk liked the photo and moved it up there.

My trip here was, in large part, to get photos that were necessary to my storytelling but unlikely to be found anywhere else. The Cape Evans hut is extremely well documented, but there are angles which are important to the reality of living there which do not necessarily make glamourous shots for publication. One of these was the view from the Tenements to the rest of the hut, rather than into the Tenements. It happens also to give you a good sense of how crammed they were.

Immediately to our left here is Titus Oates’ bunk. He was in charge of the horses, so it’s piled high with horse stuff.

The fringe in the middle is, in effect, pony sunglasses – it was originally dyed brown and would have hung down over their eyes like hair, blocking out a large portion of the harsh sunlight and snow glare. Ponies can get snowblindness too!

Behind us, from where we are standing looking at Titus’ bunk here, is Meares’ bunk, and below that, Atkinson’s. Atkinson, who alone shared the Tenements with Cherry through the miserable second winter, was in command of the expedition at that point; as doctor as well, he had a very heavy job in keeping the bereaved and stir-crazy men on the right side of health, both physical and mental. As leader, he could have moved into Scott’s much more comfortable and private space – that he didn’t, and that the thought of such a thing didn’t even turn up in anyone’s journals, says a lot about him and all of them. He stuck it out in his Spartan cubbyhole, within view of his best friend’s now deserted place, and was there for everyone.

It was here that I spotted the thing that, of all the amazing things in the hut, nearly brought a tear to my eye.

If you look at the Ponting photo at the start of this post, you will see that the string once held a spoon! I don’t know if it belonged to Meares or Atch – in the photo the string doesn’t look long enough to reach either of them. I think of it as ‘Atch’s spoon’ but that may be just because it’s hanging by his face; Meares seemed more the type to be possessive about silverware. Wilson’s cartoon in the South Polar Times suggests there was once an entire cutlery set hanging here, but that may have been a comedic exaggeration.

People visiting the hut often say it feels like the people are still there, or that they could walk in the door at any moment. I wanted to feel that, but I have to confess my experience was quite the opposite: they were gone, very gone, and had been for a very long time. Finding the string there without the spoon summed that up that better than anything.

Our next stop is the stern of the hut – Scott’s cubicle, Ponting’s darkroom, and the lab. Before we go, let’s take one look back at the Tenements.

Behind the Scenes of Fic Writing: 30 Questions for Authors

This is such a cool tag! Thanks @breaniebree

What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

Hinny, all the way! It wasn’t good, but it was Hinny.

Do you participate in any writing events or challenges throughout the year? If so, what do you like about them?

I tend to participate in them semi-often on SIYE. I find them a good way to get some creative juices flowing with a topic or subject I wouldn’t have thought about on my own. 

Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?

I go chapter by chapter. I would confuse myself too much if I started writing chapter 5 but then headed over to chapter 12. Also, I kinda don’t plan everything that far ahead. Which I’ll explain more in the next question lol

Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?

I do a quick overall base of what I want to do, who the enemies are, important moments I really want to happen, but I never do a full outline. A lot of the time I will have something planned for 5 chapters in the future, but no idea how to get there. I let inspiration strike me and go from there. 

What is the perfect environment for you to write in?

A hot cup of tea, music playing softly in the background, and an empty house. It’s perfect when everything is quiet except for my music and my mechanical keyboard.  

If you’re really concentrating, how many words can you write in a day?

Hmmm. I’ve never tested myself but I think the most I’ve ever done is 10,000 in one day. I wrote two chapters of “Only the Best” in one day and I aimed to make every chapter in that story at least 5,000 words. So I’d guess around 10,000. 

Which part of writing do you struggle with most?

Editing. I hate re-reading my work only looking for flaws. If I were to re-read my work I’d want it to be for enjoyment and nostalgia, but alas in order to find enjoyment in the writing it needs to be edited well lol. 

Do you listen to music while you write? If so, share a song that’s been inspiring you lately.

There is this live version of Can’t Go on Without You by KALEO that I love. Actually I’m listening to it right now. I listen to it at least once when I’m writing. 

Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic?

AU”s all the way! I love taking a different world than the original and trying to fit everything into this different situation. I love Muggle AU’s the best for some reason.  

Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most?

Dialogue is so much fun. Trying to come up with a witty comeback or heartwrenching final line is so intense and interesting. 

If you could only write angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your life, which would it be?

I love me some fluff. Like sometimes I go out with every intention on making things angst, and then they turn int fluff lol.

Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?

I don’t think I’ve done a “forced to share a bed” fic and that could be fun

Is there a trope you wouldn’t write if it was the last trope on earth?

Does slow burn count as a trope? I just can’t handle waiting so long for my ship together lol

If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick?

Ginny Weasley and Hermione. Hermione because she could get us off the island somehow, and Ginny because she and I would have a great time cracking jokes while we helped Hermione. 

A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be?

Hmmm. I think I would dig a film of Doom Days or Covert Love. Both have everything needed for a movie. Action, romance, and twists you don’t see coming lol.

What is your most underrated fic?

I wouldn’t say I have any underrated fics because they always are so much better received than I ever intend… that being said, I would love if more people read Doom Days

What fic are you most proud of?

This goes back to the last question. I spent so long planning and plotting Doom Days and I am extremely happy with the way it’s come out. 

What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

Well because I don’t want to give to much away I’ll show off this once part. 

His lips curled with forced levity. 

I love the word levity and I really wanted to use it and then I thought about how when I’m making a bad joke in a bad moment I always smile to make people understand how I truly feel. Such a simple sentence brought me so much pride.

Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?

I find that I struggle with Hermione. She’s so much more… straight edge than I tend to focus on, so I have a hard time adding her into stories because I’m afraid I won’t do her justice. 

What’s your favorite minor character you’ve written?

Right now it’s Prue from Covert Love. She is my own created character and I’ve had so much fun crafting this backstory that revolves around.... Things I wouldn’t talk about here ;)

What is the one fic that got away?

It hasn’t gotten away yet! I can still write it…. But when I was on a volcano in Spain I saw an adorable meet-cute and I really wanna make it a Hinny meet-cute. I just need to dedicate time… which I never seem to have lol  

Have you cried while writing a fic?

Ummm…. I don’t think there have ever been tears but I was hit hard while writing the argument between Harry and Ginny in Covert Love. 

If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it?

Hmmm. I think I would have to say Only the Best because I would have liked to add more hints towards who was the culprit. I don’t think I put out enough clues so the reader could have had a chance to figure it out on their own. 

How did you come up with title for Covert Love?

I knew I was going to be focusing a lot on the undercover element in this story but the love aspect was also going to be huge so I looked up words that meant undercover and really liked Covert. And it’s also a play on words because Harry and Ginny need to keep their love covert from everyone so Harry doesn’t get in trouble ;)

Which idea came to you first in Covert Love?

It was literally just the general idea of Harry being undercover and falling in love with Ginny. The idea to have her be under his protection started to form as I explored ways for them to meet. And when I decided to have him be unable to tell her about his job… I knew I had something I would love creating and working on. I knew I would have drama and so many intense moments I would be so proud of the story, which is always my goal. 

Which part of Covert Love was the hardest to write?

The moment where Harry and Ginny fight because he didn’t tell her about his job. I knew the discovery scene was going to be vital and it always hurts to write Ginny and Harry fighting. So it felt like a lot of pressure and I think overall it came out really well!

If you were ever to do a sequel to Covert Love, what do you think might happen in it?

Hmmm… well I don’t have any plans on doing a sequel at this time, but that’s because I haven’t finished writing the first one yet :P

In Covert Love, what is a happy, post-fic headcanon you have about Hinny?

Harry and Ginny getting to stay together when everything is said and done… maybe a kid or two that love quidditch as much as their mom 

A word that describes my WIP

Strive. Everyone is striving for something, even the bad guy. It all comes back to the person and their goals and how much effort they are willing to put into getting what they want/need. 

Tell us an idea for a long fic you want to write in the future.

Well… I haven’t started it at all and the research will take a while, but I wanna do a Muggle AU treasure hunter fic. Harry is a treasure hunter who is out searching for a famous lost treasure. While out on an adventure, he runs into a wild red head who is somehow roped into helping Harry. They hate each other at first but fall in love with each other as the adventure goes on. Also, there is another hunter out for the glory of finding this treasure and they have to deal with that crazy bloke and his men. If you’ve played the Uncharted games you’ve seen the format and I’d love to do something with it! Let me know what you guys think!
