EDIT: CRISIS AVERTED, THANK YOU!

Interracial US family w/ disabled autistic dad and toddler needs to get to the US for medical treatment

(New post because the old one was getting LONG with the updates. Details are under the "read more" to save your dash, with updates in the notes.)

TL;DR: If I'm going to live long enough to watch our daughter grow up, we need to get back to the US and get set up in a disability-friendly place where I can use my medical benefits.

Although I was already disabled (autism, adhd, and spine, joint, and head injuries), my health was stable--until four bouts of COVID left me immunocompromised, and utterly destroyed my health (including damage to my heart, blood clots that damaged one eye, neurological and joint issues, etc.), and although we started off fine, we've been hammered with one crisis after another, both medical and financial, that no one could have predicted.

Until we have enough to get back to the US, a chunk of whatever comes in has to go towards medical care that can't be put off, so the sooner we can reach critical mass on that, the better.

If you can help, or reblog, or share the links on other platforms, we'd be grateful!

The "Donate to Little or None" Paypal donation link takes the lowest fees, I think. (Kept the same link from when we were fighting to get our daughter's birth certificate fixed so we could get her citizenship affirmed.)

Then there's Ko-Fi:

And my little sister started a GoFundMe for us!

EDIT: The donation links above still work, but I removed the GoFundMe link.

IF YOU WANT ALL THE DETAILS SEE THE "READ MORE."

(There's more in my "rob gets medical" tag if you want a blow by blow account of how we got to this point over the past few years, but this is the gist.)

HOW IT STARTED:

I moved to the Philippines six years ago, after the deaths of my adult sons, in part to make my disability payments stretch further. Shortly afterwards, I was joined by my now-wife @thesurestthing (also from the US) for what was supposed to be a visit, but which turned into a permanent arrangement.

After I got a contract to license an old story for a mobile game (which tripled our income*), we found out we were having a baby, which was fine, because despite my disabilities (autism, adhd, two spine injuries, traumatic brain injury, a herniated esophagus, joint issues, etc.), my health was stable, and thanks to the contract, we were fine financially as well.

HOW IT STARTED GOING DOWNHILL:

Zoey's pregnancy was complicated, requiring two hospitalizations, and our daughter's birth was complicated, too--requiring a C-Section--which tripled our hospital bill. A few weeks after our daughter was born, the aforementioned contract was canceled without warning. THEN, when we tried to register our daughter's birth with the US embassy, we discovered an error on her birth certificate that left her stateless, and which took nearly two years, all our savings, and a fundraiser (thank you, generous people!) to resolve. Combined with medical expenses, that left us in a lot of debt.

A brief summary of went else wrong (leaving a lot out for brevity's sake):

I got COVID three four times during all this, became immunocompromised, and developed a slew of other medical issues (heart damage, eye damage and temporary facial paralysis from blood clots, persistent infections, a worsening of my joint issues, neurological issues, etc.) as a result of Long Covid.

I've had to be hospitalized a couple of times, undergo surgery, and was on an oxygen machine twice--once for an entire month, while I was bedridden. As of 24 January, 2024, I'm still recovering from my fourth bout of covid, which started at the beginning of October 2023.

There's a lot more, but you get the idea. COVID has completely wrecked my health, including tearing up my immune system.

And yes, I'm as fully vaxxed against COVID as one can be in the Philippines, with all available boosters, but again--I'm immunocompromised, plus they don't have the vax for the newest variant here yet. Zoey is vaxxed, also, and as a result, her bout with covid was extremely mild. El isn't vaxxed yet because they won't give the covid vaccine to kids under five here, but she's been able to share Zoey's antibodies from breast-feeding--which is apparently a thing.

The only way we can see for me to stay alive long enough to watch Eleanor grow up is to get back to where I can use my Medicare and VA benefits**.

WHY SO MUCH MONEY?

First, while we're still here, we need to pay for whatever medical care can't be put off. Plus, since I'm now immunocompromised, we have to get LOTS of vaccinations before we have to spend 24 hours or so in crowded planes and airports.

Second, we're going to be arriving with only what we can carry with us on the plane, and we'll need to get into a place near a VA hospital that I can easily get around in while I'm recovering from surgeries and getting various treatments. We'll need to pick up some secondhand household goods, and some kind of used transportation (because, you know, it's the US, where you kind of need a vehicle to get around).

We'll also need enough on top of my and El's disability payments to get by for a couple of months while Zoey looks for work. And all this is while we're still paying off the debt from the stuff I mentioned above.

So we're figuring that unless we catch some very lucky breaks, it'll probably cost between 20K and 36K altogether.

(We can't simply stay with friends when we get back, because literally every single close friend we have in the US with extra room and who lives close to a VA hospital has cats--to which I have a severe anaphylactic reaction. As in my entire respiratory system shuts down, and I have to be rushed to the ER to keep from dying; this has happened more than once. The only way I can be around cats is if I'm on immunosuppressants, and my immune system is ALREADY compromised, so I CAN'T do that.)

So again, if you can kick in, or reblog, or post our crowdfunding links (or the link to this post) on whatever other platforms you use, we'd appreciate it.

(*When I told social security about it, they said I could keep getting disability, too, because licensing IP rights didn't count as work income, and since it was a Moldavian company, it also fell under a special tax clause for getting paid by a foreign company while living overseas, so no taxes on it, either. )

(**VA benefits--I was a cold warrior in 1980s Germany. It was less than forty years after WWII, there was a lot of sabre-rattling--some of it nuclear--and we were there as a deterrent to prevent in Germany the kind of thing that's happening in Ukraine right now. Disclaimer because I'm tired of people accusing me of "invading" folks in the early 1980s when I was a dumb, heavily propagandized pre-Internet kid fixing generators in Europe. I wouldn't join today even if I could.)

[jewish-vents]

first - i just want to say thank you for making this blog. it’s so important to know that we aren’t alone in the many things we’re experiencing and feeling right now, especially when so many of us have become painfully isolated as of late.

i apologize for how long this one is going to be.

i’ve been feeling so, so alone recently. my tumblr dash has been cut down to just a handful of jewish blogs that i can trust to be kind and understanding and nuanced, but it means that the majority of the content i see is about antisemitism and the war. after a while, it becomes draining to scroll through what feels like endless sadness. i turned to looking at fandom tags instead of following fandom blogs, but it makes me feel equally as insane to click on a blog about race cars and immediately see a post with 60k notes calling what’s happening in gaza “the new holocaust”. i started going back on twitter, but fan accounts on there too are only safe for a day or so before the account owner shares some awful antisemitic tweet from an account known to be an anti-jewish extremist. i went back on instagram briefly, but i was soon afraid to look at people’s stories for fear i’d see something terrible and lose yet another trusted person from my life.

in person, i have to walk by signs saying “zionism = genocide” and hastily scribbled palestinian flags with the colors in the wrong spot on my way to class every day. a wall across from my apartment says “BDS” in giant letters. i haven’t opened my curtains in months because of it. a “protest” of about 25 people stood in the center of campus and yelled and waved their fists in passing students’ faces, so jewish students didn’t go to class on any of the days they gathered. i only have one non jewish friend left at school - the rest abandoned me because i either called them out on antisemitic rhetoric or refused to go along with the idea that anyone, palestinian or israeli, muslim or jewish, is less than human. i had taken several of them along to our hillel’s seder in the past. i don’t know who i can safely go with this year. i have a few jewish friends, of course, but i love bringing goyische friends with little connection to judaism along to experience how joyful and loving jewish holidays can be.

it feels like there is no escape from this fucking war. it sickens me that it’s the only thing people pretend to care about - where is the attention for sudan, ukraine, armenia, uyghurs in china, syria, guyana? how is putting an emoji in your twitter bio or putting a translucent overlay of the palestinian flag on your tumblr icon any sort of real activism? how have we gone from “antisemitism is wrong” to “(((zionists))) control the world media”? it seems like the war is a fandom to these people. it seems like nobody cares enough to fully read and think critically about what they share, let alone do real research beyond looking at an infographic somebody shared on their instagram story. they’ll add on “don’t forget your click today!” to an unrelated twitter thread that went viral, flip the bird at the local starbucks, and put “won’t you free my palestine” on their instagram stories. they’ll anonymously tell a jew online to commit suicide. they’ll feel secure in the knowledge that they’re the perfect leftist, that this is somehow “good trouble”. all this praxis, and nothing to show for it but massive surges in hate crimes against jews. good job, guys! you singlehandedly saved every innocent person in gaza!

it’s isolating. it’s scary. jews can’t mourn. jews can’t be angry. jews can’t disagree. jews can’t suffer. jews can’t be whole, complex people with diverse beliefs and experiences. suffering is a game, and the goal is to hurt the most, scream the most, die the most, all to appease western leftists whose closest connection to war and violence was reading the hunger games in middle school.

i’m tired of it all. i want a peaceful and just resolution to the war. i want the mindless hatred everywhere to stop. i want to be able to scroll through social media and see nothing but fandom. i want to walk through campus with my magen david showing and all the friends i lost by my side on the way to the hillel seder. i want to open my curtains again. i know the experience of one diaspora jew is nothing compared to what people living in israel and palestine are currently going through, yet i still need this all to end. i don’t think any of us can go on like this, but we must, because we have. for thousands of years, we’ve gone on. that still doesn’t mean it has to be this hard all the time.

all i can think is “now we are slaves. next year may we be free.” now we are slaves to hatred and violence and suffering. next year may we all be free. next year may we all be in jerusalem.

I am forever baffled by the people who keep saying Ryan is not ok with going for Buddie and saying he is why nothing went ahead with Eddie and Tommy when there is actual proof to the contrary.

Like Ryan saying in interviews that if it went there he would be OK with it, naming the ship back in the day and having played gay roles before.

It actually being talked about that actress availability changed the way storylines went for S7.

I just don't understand how this information can be out there and those people come down to "It doesn't happen because Ryan isn't OK with it"

I just saw another "Ryan is not ok with it" post in the Ryan tag and needed to vent. My apologies.

Hey Nonny! Ah yes, the old 'Ryan doesn't want to do it.' This one has been going around in the fandom for a loooong time now. Even before season 7. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It's always the same rhetoric: Oliver is game, but Ryan won't do it. So therefore it won't happen. Yada yada yada...

Let me be very clear here: IT'S ALL BULLSH*T! Ryan would be more than happy to see Buddie happen. In season 7 interviews the man gushed over Buddie fics and edits for god's sake. He is GAME! He came up with the shipname Buddie. Before he came up with it, everyone was going with Beddie. Thank God Ryan was there. Imagine that... Beddie. 🤣

So please don't let anyone tell you that Buddie isn't going to happen because of Ryan not wanting to do it. It's all lies.

We can't know for absolutely 100% that Buddie will happen, but I can assure you that (in some strange AU world) if it doesn't happen? It isn't because of Ryan.

Furthermore, please... all of you... keep in mind that you can block the people you don't ever want to see on your dash or in the tags. If you see things like this in the Ryan tag and it makes you angry, just block the account. It isn't worth the aggrevation. You can block them and never think about it again. Don't try to reason and talk with them. Please, just BLOCK and move on.

Anyway, this wasn't anything against you Nonnie. I just needed to vent for a moment. LOL! I would have gotten just as angry as you. I hope you blocked and moved on. :) Have a great day!

[familyvideostevie]

hey.

okay. hello! i'm back. :)

maybe you noticed, maybe not, but i have been away for a while.

i wish i could say i've been out living my life, so caught up in happiness and joy and loving each day that i've just not had time for tumblr. but....that is not true. i have been having a tough time! being away has been good, as i've had time to do other things that i like and to put energy into my own well-being, but it hasn't been the best time, I'll tell you that.

i peeked on the dash every now and then to keep my queue full and reblogged soothing things to my main blog and tried my best not to feel guilty about it all (i was also booping on April 1 lol). i just...I really needed a break. i've really enjoyed being here the last six or so months as i've changed my blog and entered the pedro/tlou space but i've also felt so, so alone.

and i know that it doesn't really matter!! like, we should all take breaks and go outside and all that stuff. and I know plenty of people are not very active, but this blog has been such a vital part of my life and happiness since I started it almost two years ago, so any lapse in activity feels like a loss. I've met lifelong friends and flexed my writing muscles and learned a hell of a lot. the fact that I have started to feel isolated and alone on here is a sort of personal betrayal, and there is no one to blame but myself.

So, I’m pulling back.

it means a few things — i don’t know how much writing I’ll be doing from now on. For Joel, especially — it’s been wonderful to meet folks in that community but it has also been really detrimental to my passion for both the game and writing. I’d like to return to some other characters on my masterlist, but we’ll see. I’ve got endless personal projects away from tumblr that I want to pour love and time into (my non-reader fics, my newsletter, a romance novel, a sci-fi novel, poetry, etc). I need to fall in love with my own work again.

it's a me problem, I want to stress that. i'm working on it! irl stuff has been kicking my ass. I've had a really, really hard winter and my mental health has suffered probably more than ever before. i let things I love -- like this blog -- fester and become negative and no longer being me joy. writing became stressful and difficult and I was focused on notes and interaction and looking around me and seeing success and then looking at myself and only seeing lack.

but that's why I took a break! i am getting help and support irl, i am putting in the time and effort to feel better about being alive and to be a better friend and person all around. And I want to tell you all about it because I am so grateful for your time and attention and support, even if we’re just strangers on the internet. i know this probably seems silly -- who cares about a fanfic blog? well, i care! i care a lot! it matters to me and therefore it matters!

anyway. on to the important stuff. here I am! and here's what's going to happen on this blog:

I am working on replying to asks and reblogs and comments I missed. Thank you for being patient with me! I don't know if I'll get to them all but know I see them and I am honored every single time.

I made a totally separate ao3 account with this blog url. I'm working on uploading everything I've posted here onto there and hopefully will continue to crosspost. It is going to take a long, long time, so please be patient! (you can follow my other ao3 here for my non x-reader fanfic).

I posted this fic! Jackson!Joel pulled me back into his world. It’s the first thing I’ve written in ages, so let me know what you think. as of now it's the last planned fic for that series, but who knows!

I hit a milestone while i was away that I am absolutely blown away by. I'm planning a celebration around it sometime this spring (hopefully) and I’d love to see you participate :)

lastly, thank you so much to my friends for letting me complain, whine, winge, etc. I am so sorry for missing all of your work, your celebrations, your bright energies, and all the rest. i am so sorry if it seemed like i was ignoring you. you are my guiding lights, my silver linings, my touchstones. you make me want to be here. i will try to make it up to you!

I want to be online less but make sure I’m connecting more in the moments that i am here. I want to pressure myself to write less and not feel bad that I’m not engaged all the time. I want this blog to once again feel like a place that nourishes me and not sucks me dry. i want to stop feeling like shit about all of it!!!!

so. come hang out in my inbox, my dms, let me know what you've been up to. I am really sorry for missing so much. thank you for sticking around. <3

[poespetraven]

AHHHHHH! Look at me! I’m doing it! I’m making a post! I shall lurk no longer!! I have no idea what I’m doing! Get the camera!

Anyways, hi! I’m gonna write a little intro thingy cause I don't know what else to do!

I’m Raven, I use she/her pronouns, and I’m aroace I think! I love music and singing and writing songs and stuff and I am trying to get into other forms of art, too, which has been fun so far! I made a tumblr account because I want to admire other people’s amazing creations!

I am EXTREMELY NORMAL about Undertale and Deltarune. SO normal in fact that I have NOT AT ALL been INSANE about these games since 2020 when I first learned about them. Thoughts of these games DO NOT invade my brain 24/7/365. I am very much NOT OBSESSED!!!

Ok maybe I lied just a teeny tiny little bit. (What have you done, Toby Fox? (((thank you Toby Fox))))

UT/DR was kinda the soul (hehe) reason I made this account and stuff related to UT/DR was literally the only kind of stuff I looked at on tumblr until like literally about a month ago. (Thanks, Book of Bill, I am relapsing into a Gravity Falls addiction.) 

So right now I have two obsessions! Undertale/Deltarune and Gravity Falls! “Wow look at all that variety” you say! But what if I told you there was actually a third obsession that was actually an obsession within an obsession? Well there is! Underverse/Xtale! (Surprise surprise, it’s Undertale related). Xtale/Underverse is an Undertale fan comic/animated show by Jakei/Jael Peñaloza and OH MY GOSH IT IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER, GO SHOW HER SOME SUPPORT, SHE LITERALLY WRITES AND ANIMATES IT ENTIRELY BY HERSELF AND IT’S SO FREAKING YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND I’M BEING SO FOR REAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW PLEASE GO WATCH IT I JUST AIKGJIHUFLJKEVJHWKEEHVJO>LOIUWO!!!! Anyways, I highly recommend it.

So yeh! So 2.5 obsessions! That’s literally all I see on my dash! It’s wonderful! Yay!

…Ok so I don’t actually know what else to say. I feel like this isn’t how introduction posts are supposed to go but fuck it we make out own rules! I highly doubt anyone is going to read this and that's probably a good thing BUT IF FOR SOME CURSED REASON SOMEBODY DOES READ THIS MESS I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT REMEMBER YOU ARE VALID AND YOU ARE LOVED OK I’M GONNA STOP TALKING NOW BYEEE!!!!

𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━⚡ an unfriendly aesop: when a moral lesson conflicts with our understanding of "good."

― Melody, 29, they/she

― Account is 18+, NSFW is for 23+

― Disabled, chronically online, horrendous sleep schedule

― Right off the bat, I am sex positive, kink friendly, and a taboo safe haven. I don’t believe in “pro shipping” or anything of that ilk. As long as you’re an adult and not hurting anyone IRL, I beg you to write what you want. With me, even! I’ll write fucked up shit with you gleefully! Censoring will only aid the corrupt.

― Anti call out culture

― Haven’t been on Tumblr in probably 5 years, but I was here in the advent of RP and have a long, sordid history with it

― Iconless bc I’m not trying to screenshot games like that. It’s fine if you use them though!

― Don’t worry about matching my format, of course! I’m very lazy with it as it is

― Have played all the DA games + DLCs, working through the books now

― Constructive criticism about lore is always accepted!

― Brevity is the soul of art or whatever but I suck at it. Sorry :D

― Plotting >>>>

― I can usually bounce off of anything someone sends me, if plotting isn’t your jam, but I am here for the girls, the gays, and the theys that both want a 12 hour long yap session about every intricate detail and also write it all

― Explicit NSFW can be written on the dash if both parties are chill with it. If you wanna write it but don’t want it on the dash, I will be more than happy to move to Discord or Google docs! Also, I’m obviously just as happy to fade to black if need be.

― Favorite genres: Angst, hurt/comfort NSFW/erotica, fluff. I can roll with anything though

― Dark/Mature/Taboo themes will be mentioned; Anders is canonically a victim in many ways and I do not shy away from representing the fact.

― Please move ask responses to separate threads, linking to the original. Also, it doesn’t matter how much time has passed since I answered the ask; always feel free to turn anything into a thread!

― This is controversial but my biggest pet peeve is dropped threads. I’m disabled and have a very limited attention span, but I will still always go out of my way to not drop threads. It may take me weeks to reply, but no thread is ever dropped unless we’ve talked about it. I really hope for the same level of committment to this hobby from those I share it with

― Another controversial take; I don’t always follow with the intent to write. Yes, of course, I would love to write with absolutely everyone and will make that happen as much as I can, but I don’t think it’s a requirement to stay mutuals, or to even be friends! Sometimes I follow people just because I like the way they write, or I want to read their headcanons, or I mean to write with them in the future. I’m not in a rush here to figure out what to do with every last mutual. If that bothers you, please hard block me. No hard feelings!

― Dupes are welcome! We don’t have to write anything but I would love to be friends with people who love Anders as much as I do!

2028 (02 Epilogue) - 8.589.934,592

↓ Original notes + "Why there's still no retcon of the lore" below ↓

First, the OG notes from the outdated post:

→ This count is not about “which was the very first digimon-human contact”, and yes about people with a digivice. Because if we were going to count who was the first human to have contact with a digimon, it’s actually two and they’re Oikawa Yukio and Iori’s dad, Hida Hiroki.

→ I’m ignoring all the inconsistencies with other material (WS & ▽) because they seem to not match well with the original count. So, in this case, Ken’s statement in the anime (Aug 2000) is the one to be accounted for here. I don’t know if Ryo counts as Chosen (possibly yes, judging by 02 flashbacks) but I’m not sure where to place him here.

→ I’m only adding Michael to the count, even if he’s not a main character and yes a side character, because 02 ep 14 had this statement regarding him. And I like Michael too so, let me have him there :V

→ Menoa states in the movie she met Morphomon when she was nine, and according to the Dash X novel version, she’s the same age as Taichi. Which means she became a Chosen in 1997.

→ I couldn’t think of how to include Maki & Daigo’s group in this because ▽ contradicts with the original lore’s math – The fact the Pt4 book released with the movie on Japanese theaters state them being in Elementary School the time they went to their adventure in the DW, and later the confession scene means they’re in University/College makes them possibly been Chosen Children way before 1995, and I’d take it granted that they were chosen by someone else IF weren’t for the Homeostasis being involved in the scene and the digivice being way too modern for that time (it was basically Taichi group’s model. If you look at Rui’s digivice in the leaked footage from DigiFes2022, his model seems to be different and an older version)

→ That said, Meiko is the only character in ▽ that does not fall into contradiction with the math count. Because in 1999 there was not only Taichi’s group, but also other 8 non-featured Chosen according to Kakudou’s notes. So we can consider Meiko one of those other 8 children.

→ When it comes to Wallace, I prefer to think he is game in the original math – Taichi and Hikari met that Koromon in 95, but they had no digivice until 1999. Which means it can be possible that Wallace had encountered Gummy-Choco’s egg before 1995 and only became an official Chosen Child later.

Now, the new notes:

→ To avoid spoiling any detail about the movie itself, I’ll make sure to tell you they might have changed how the math works only. It’s not like, “everyone gets a digimon at the same time” but rather… “A X number of people get partnered with a digimon in different periods of a year” – Which means yes, you can still count Rui and Ukkomon as the origins of the Digimon partnership, but that later in the same year someone else (or, say, Wallace in the main timeline) got a partner months later.

→ That said, I’m opting to update this list and work within the idea that various sources of partnership (Homeostasis, Holy Beasts, etc) can be counted in the math. Remember – Homeostasis (not referred to as this in the OG series but yes in the novels) had selected Taichi & co., but the Holy Beasts chose Dai-Miya-Iori. And some other entity probably chose Ken in August 2000. This could explain why there’s a higher number of partnerships happening at the same time in Adv’99 and 02.

→ As I mentioned before, and indirectly supported by the staff (check the official timeline at the top of the list), ▽ has violated the lore to the point it goes in direct conflict with the new 02 movie and the entire timeline. So I guess it’s better to consider ▽ as its own timeline/Alternate universe than forcing it into the main timeline.

→ That said, and since Meiko does exist in Kizuna/main timeline, I suppose Maki and Daigo also do exist, and maybe they got their “ages” retconned and down to something suitable to the universe’s math count. They can still be part of the previous five kids mentioned in Adv’99 anime/novels, but they are probably around their teen years, or even early 20s instead, not fully adults working for the government I suppose. Or alternatively, just not Chosen yet. Pick your favorite route, Maki/Daigo fans!!

→ Yes, the Koromon from the very first movie IS NOT THE SAME PARTNERED WITH TAICHI. This never was confirmed, and was just fandom's theory. Considering how ▽ also made this mistake and possibly was one of the lore's violation, I prefer to believe this means it's not the same Koromon/Agumon partnered with Taichi in Adv'99.

You had actually been the one to introduce S/O to Genshin Impact and had been playing it for a while. And while you were happy, the salt was evident as whenever a banner came S/O would always get the banner character, winning the 50/50 every time.

You'd been playing a lot longer yet S/O has managed to get every character released. What the hell?! Despite this, you and S/O happily played Genshin with one another, bosses never stood a chance at your combined might.

S/O had been getting too into the game recently however and they were now behind in their college classes. In order to properly let them focus you promised to look after their Genshin world while they focused on their studies. Since you had already finished school and worked at a clinic you had enough free time to spare. What a good friend you are.

Imagine your surprise however when you suddenly find yourself on the edge of Starsnatch cliff. You recognized where you were almost immediately. This was all like a dream come true! With a rush of excitement, you ran towards Mondstat only to come face to face with a hilichurl camp. Much to your surprise however they didn't hurt you. Neither did they welcome you. They sort of just stared for a while before going back to whatever they were doing.

Neat. You thought to yourself as you resumed your dash to Mondstat. Arriving in the city of freedom your breath was taken away. The visuals of the game had nothing on this. Something was different though... a big something. The statue of Barbatos in the center of the city was replaced with one of S/O, adorned in lavish clothing and giving off the aura of a god. You stared at the statue deep in thought only for you to be snapped out of your trance when someone speaks next to you.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" The voice remarks. You slowly turn your head to see the anemo archon himself. In disguise of course. You could only nod as you stood there nervously. You'd read stories like this before. How the "creator", a random person would be transported to Genshin, and well... there were multiple routes.

The thing here however was that... you weren't the creator. S/O was. Were you transported here by mistake? You had been playing on their account after all. "Is this your first time in Mondstat? I've never seen you around here before." Venti asks walking in front of you so that your vision would be focused on him. You nod once more and a look of intrigue makes its way on Venti's face before going back to a regular smile.

"Welcome then! Although if you came to Mondstat hoping to meet Their Grace then I'm afraid you've missed them as they've already left for Inazuma." Venti explains though he says something else you can't quite hear. S/O was here?! Did they get- No. You had seen them not long before you got transported. So how could they be here unless... Imposter AU...

"S/- Their Grace was here?" You ask, having to catch yourself and stop from saying S/O's name. You didn't want to make this archon question how you knew so much. "Mhmm!" Venti hums. "We had a large festival to celebrate their stay here. Had you only arrived a day earlier you would have gotten to take part in the festivities! I don't envy your luck."

You let out a sheepish laugh at Venti's remark before excusing yourself and waving goodbye to the Bard. While it was once to meet him and all there was far too much on your mind. Right now you felt you needed to do at least one thing.

Get to Inazuma!

WIP Wednesday | This one is different and no doubt would be long but there are important things to address

This midweek we're talking about as Joseph would say, the snakes in our garden(s), or one snake, depending on how willing you're to believe those two people have just met and are so similar, that everything they do is just a big coincidence and not actual blantant stealing of ideas.

I was first faced with the accounts on Novemeber 13th, two follows at once early in the morning, I didn't think much of it, happy I was getting FC5 mutuals in my notifications instead of bots. I followed them back and got on with my day until late that night I began to notice the first patterns of both accounts potentially being run by the same person when their posts began popping up on my dash. There were mistakes, ways of behaving when posting that stood out to me and would no doubt stand out to you as well as you examine all the things I've managed to gather (I won't exactly be pointing out some tells because as far as I can tell they're not aware of them and I refuse to teach them how to scam people better next time). Months back and ever since really I've been dealing with someone I will not be naming in this post, who was consistently targeting my ideas - from stealing paragraphs and inserting them in their fic to moving onto copying smaller things once I caught their sampling, which then escalated to them literally renaming their already established OC into Sabrina once they believed I wasn't paying attention to them anymore.

The same methods I noticed within those accounts, starting with @ladyofedensgate-xo posting a new FC5 OC reveal that evening with Alycia Debnam-Carey, a character by the name of Harper Montgomery (remember that name). After the whole rename thing and suddenly days later being followed by two new similar to each other accounts, one that was out of nowhere picking the exact face claim I have for the leading heroine of my WIP gave me a pause, made me look deeper into the profiles. Both had no prior activity before November, followed the same list of people, a huge chunk of my mutuals and people I would mention in my tag list for games and writing posts. There were multiple things popping out as behaviour, posting and formatting that inevitably led to me blocking both, suspecting the person that had previously stolen from me was making a return under new identity.

Then me and some mutuals got to talking, turns out, this isn't the first time those 'two' people had infiltrated a fandom and began introducing OCs that would resemble other people's or went as far as to copy things from others. Last time they went by @little-wolf-seed and @ladyofedens-blog, claiming they were two sisters and they were being stolen from, only for both to delete their accounts shortly before the new ones debuted. History does repeat, one of the accounts (same @ladyofedensgate-xo) was deactivated by the next day, November 14, only for a new one to emerge immediately, a carbon copy of its predecessor: @angelofdarkness-things. I got a follow from them again, immediately sending them to blocked, while still keeping an eye out for what was happening.

My attention was grabbed by a Pinterest link AngelOfDarkness had in her pinned post, leading to boards upon boards of OCs (I'm taking large numbers) ready to be deployed, potential back-ups if they get caugh and have to start a new. All boards were created at the same time, with two Pinterest profiles only following each other: breannamarie1220 and alexisdawn10206 (Again they'd go as far as to make posts about just now becoming friends and AOD offering to write for Red Queen and how we should all take that offer, cementing the claim they're different people. Now, I ask: have you ever seen two different people, strangers have pretty much the exact same accounts when it comes to appearance?)

I begin looking at each board, frowning at awful casting choices and race swaps of canon characters, only to be faced with multiple names of my own characters being split and shuffled around and multiple of my faceclaims (those they could figure out) appearing as their to-be-debuted OCs. A list, that would be followed by screenshots (and just in case, either of the them decides to suddenly start changing faceclaims after this post or deleting: everything has been documented, so don't expect a swift exit like last time, or people easily forgetting you).

Sabrina Donovan | by faceclaim: originally they had Alycia casted as a Maya McCoy (last name sounds familiar? Maybe because they literally separated another mutual's Deputy's name in two to give to their characters), only for it to be moved to a Valerie Montgomery (Montgomery again. HM) in the early morning hours today.

Mercedes Sibley | by faceclaim (or what they deemed close enough to her actual fc) given to a Jazmine Stone, a lookalike model by the handle emblu was picked to drive confusion, imo.

Oliver McKenzie | BY NAME and FACECLAIM: now here it gets hilariously bad - they actually mashed Oliver with John's last name prior to joining the project (Duncan) -> Oliver Duncan (Oliver McKenzie debuted as a character in my AU of John Seed as John Duncan). Dylan Riley has been given the face of Boyd Holbrook (Ollie's fc).

Leslie Parish | by faceclaim to an Adam Lancaster.

Oakley Moore | on October 26th I announced her full name Oakley Elizabeth Moore and how her nickname is Lizzie -> Lizzie Palmer in a board. At one point they shared an edit of an Oakley lookalike , for once not tagging an OC (which is unusual for them), so I won't be shocked if she gets casted next as the 'newest OC they can't wait to introduce'.

Smaller characters that are reoccuring in my wips: Both of John's closest Chosen: Mathias Bennett (last name for two characters for each Pinterest account, one is misspelled, which they often do to claim it's not the same name) and Brother Wyatt (first name) -> Wyatt Reed; Both of John's named clients, one is Owen Montgomery (both of his names picked like apples, Montgomery again. HM.) -> Harper/Valerie Montgomery and Owen Palmer. The character that drives the AU and John is in charge of defending: Nathaniel Mooney (even listed as character on my AO3) -> into Nathaniel Graham.

I've noticed MULTIPLE MUTUAL'S OCs NAMES also being ripped off on some scale (so my advice would be to check out the boards yourself), @socially-awkward-skeleton had her Chosen OC Caleb Winters pretty much stolen: exact faceclaim -> Kaleb Rhodes (is he a Kardashian? Now, that would be an interesting headcanon.)

Honestly, at this point, a better question would be which OCs they didn't get to... and the weird creepy behavior continued with saving headcanons into boards (Mer's white dog, Oliver's K9, Sabrina's entire aesthetic, her tattoo - exactly two butterflies, which are everywhere you look - in bios, names, board titles). Having Sabrina's nickname her father had for her and would literally call her in every single one of her memories (Monkey) -> Monkey in their bio only to edit out both the butterflies and Monkey just a couple of hours ago (did you realize you're a carbon copy of your alt Pinterest or? "A strawberry shall fix it! Fool 'em.", she told herself.)

Then the situation only got worse and up the creep-o-meter.

I was notified of something concerning by @adelaidedrubman , who earlier had also been followed both on her main and side blog she uses for reblogs: After getting a strange ghost notification on an blog she doesn't even use and has no activity on, let alone that many followers, she can only see 4 of the 7 people following her. Unblocking the previously mentioned shady accounts, she gets this:

Somehow, both had discovered an account out of use and followed it. An account belonging to the person they had previously followed and been blocked by.

I truly personally believe they still watch my blog and what I post (which btw, whatever your name is: if only you put that much effort into writing your own fics and coming up with characters, headcanons and names instead of stalking multiple mutuals in hunt for ideas...).

Once I finally decided to update my pinned post on my blog with new gifs (which take hours to edit sometimes) of Sabrina, they suddenly pinned a snapshot of one of the exact same gifs to their Valerie Montgomery board. Hours later they reblog the other gif they could find and CHANGE THEIR LAYOUT TO MATCH SABRINA'S SIDEBLOG-> Alycia in the icon and butterfly in the header (my header has been up since April 25, I made it specifically for her blog). Both icon and banner are now changed, one could only ask why even select the previous ones to begin with, if not to fuck with a person you've been targetting.

Now we move onto how they describe their OCs as headcanons, who one of them loves to tag with "Do Not Steal" (Who's stealing here, honey boo? None of us that you've set your sights on have given you any type of permission since you make it a big deal to have it). Little examples in the screenshots below, they have snippets for other characters too, so chances are someone would recogize their blorbo being put in a wig and renamed.

As I'm writing this post, Alycia is still a faceclaim to Valerie (tomorrow she might be moved to a third faceclaim with how they've been behaving), they constantly change things around (despite claiming they have this clear idea of their OCs) and act like they're being stolen from by tagging everything with "no stealing", deleting posts that could make them look suspicious (including the ones I've pointed out of the gifs featuring Alycia and matching my own edits of the scene), taking claim of simple headcanons like Jacob owning a cabin and horses being ridden in Montana, while also mass-following mutuals from multiple fandoms like FC5, COD, Mortal Combat, RDR2, the list goes on and on. They're looking for a place to take root, the next person to leech from. If you're tagged in this, they follow you (and they have been picking OCs names from people they've followed before) and your content, ideas, characters identity might be next on their list of OCs they gather as pokemons. Beware and if they do deactivate after this... well, it won't be as easy to disappear this time around.

To the two Swipers that can't stop swiping: Don't mistake the kindness of the fandom(s) and its people for encouragement to be shady and turn people's happy places into hell. True intentions shine through with time, you can sense when someone deeply loves their characters and when they only push them out like they're on a conveyor belt to gain exposure and false validation for someone else's creativity. This is something you both can't fake, no matter how many times you reemerge as a new person.

In Jacksfilms' wise words, "Stop Stealing."

Love Trope February! Jealousy: Mountain x Reader

Dew and Swiss know Mountain likes the Reader and purposefully flirts with the other person right in front of him, leaning on them, offering for them to sit in their lap during movies and dinner, being purposefully extra touchy, soon (Y/N) enters with a plan that they are sure will make the Earth ghoul snap, a simple game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.

So sadly, there is no smut in this one, it is already 2 am, and I don't wanna go through all that, plus I've written smut the last 2 days in a row, you horny fucks are cut off (for now, hehe). Anyways, I have been anxious to write this one since I came up with the prompt, I am a sucker for possessiveness and jealousy (of course, not the toxic type, that's a no no) but a little bit of these two things don't hurt nobody. And who would say no to an 8-foot man who is hot as fuck and has rhythm? Definitely not me

Also amazing Whiskey news: ME AND MY FRIEND ARE GOING TO SEE GHOST SEPTEMBER 2ND AND WE HAVE VIP TICKETS!

Bad Whiskey News: My bank account is sobbing and cursing me but it is so worth it :)

Mountain growls under his breath as he watches Swiss and Dew doting on (Y/N). The Multi had them sat in his lap, nuzzling their shoulder, as Dew sprawled across the Water ghoulette’s lap. The two ghouls had been cuddling (Y/N) since they had walked into the den after getting done with their chores, demanding their attention if they so much as acknowledged another ghoul. Mountain knows they’re doing it to mess with him. He had admitted to having feelings for (Y/N) one night during a smoke sesh, and ever since the two troublemakers have been purposefully hanging off them, always asking the Water ghoulette to sit in their lap or next to them during movie nights or even at dinner, and just being overall extremely touchy with the small ghoul. This has been going on for the last 2 weeks, and the Earth ghoul was tired of it.

Just earlier that day, he had tried to talk to (Y/N), just a simple conversation about their day but out of nowhere, Swiss and Dewdrop came barreling in and jumped into the conversation. Babbling about their own experiences from the day, seeming to either ignore or not notice how Mountain was trying to subtly tell them to fuck off. By the time he finally got a word in, the two ghouls were dragging (Y/N) off to do something, the Water ghoul had shot him an apologetic smile over their shoulder before Swiss slung them over his shoulder and they dashed out the door, probably to pull some prank that will get them all in trouble.

Looking back at the trio, he watches Dew presses a kiss to (Y/N)’s cheek, right next to their lips, making Mountain snap, standing suddenly and stomping out of the room. The three on the couch watch him as he storms out, “What the hell is his problem?” Swiss asks, eyebrow raised, and they hear a slam from down the hall, “I don’t know, maybe we should check on him?” (Y/N) suggests. The Multi and Fire ghouls glance at each other, “Yeah, we’ll go. You stay here. When the big guy gets like this, he’s kinda dangerous.” Dew says, standing up, patting (Y/N)’s shoulder, “We’ll be back in a little bit, dollface.” Swiss adds, gently moving the ghoul off his lap before following Dew down the hall.

Knocking on the Earth ghoul’s door, Swiss yells, “Mount, talk to us, what’s wrong?” but there is no reply, Dew tries next, “C’mon buddy, we just wanna help.” he calls through the door, banging on the wood. Suddenly the door flies open, and a looming, pissed-off Mountain is in the threshold. “You wanna know what the fuck is wrong?” he booms. The two smaller ghouls flinch at the anger, “You two know what the fuck you’re doing, hanging all over them, whining for their attention, fucking all in front of me after what I fucking told you?! That’s what’s fucking wrong!” Mountain yells before slamming the door again.

The amount of anger that Mountain was giving off scared the pair. The large ghoul never got angry, especially not to this degree. The last time someone had pissed Mountain off this badly was when a Sibling had destroyed a couple of flower bushes in the garden while drunk, and the Earth ghoul had gotten so angry he had caused a small earthquake that destroyed a small section of the Church. The way the ground underneath them was starting to shake lightly told them they had fucked up badly. Sighing, they decide to leave Mountain alone, so they don’t piss him off anymore; walking back to the common room, (Y/N) was still on the couch, scrolling through their phone. They look up when they hear the pair walk into the room, “Hey, did you guys figure out what’s going on with Mounty?” they ask.

“Uhh, yeah. He just hasn’t had a good day, and something pissed him off.” Dew tries to blow off the situation, but (Y/N) raises an eyebrow at them. They know it’s bullshit, “Uh huh. Passive, calm Mounty grows at us and storms off because he ‘had a bad day’?” they question, placing their phone down and crossing their arms, tail flicking in questioning irritation. Sighing, “We may have..purposefully making Mounty jealous...” Swiss says, a look of guilt covering his face, tail wrapping around his leg, “What do you mean, making him jealous, Swiss?” (Y/N) asks, “He likes you Little Bit, we knew so we were trying to make him make a move.” Dew says, earning a smack to the back of his head from the Multi, “Dude! You can’t just say that!” Swiss hisses. Dew clutches the back of his and whines, “What the fuck was that for?! I was just telling them what was going on!”.

(Y/N)’s eyes go wide. Mountain likes them? He feels the same way they do? Shaking their head in disbelief, “So you two decided to try and make him jealous, so he’d confess?” they ask, eyes narrowing at the pair. The two ghouls nod heads hanging low in shame. “Why the hell didn’t you say so? I would’ve helped you guys more!” (Y/N) suddenly laughs, a bright smile spreading across their faces. Swiss and Dew’s heads perk up, gaping at the cackling ghoul, “Wait, you want to help?” Swiss asks, “Hell yeah, I’ve had a crush on him forever, I thought you guys would’ve realized that after how often I’m trying to hang out with him and the fact the girls had already realized months ago and have been trying to set us up.” they giggle, “Wait what?! How the hell did the girls figure it out?!” Dew cries irritated that he didn’t figure it out first. “They’re smart, and women know what a crush looks like. Now c’mere, I got an idea that might make him finally give in to his instincts.” (Y/N) says with an evil grin.”

The Water ghoul’s plan was genius. They were going to spend the day with Mountain, meeting him in the morning when he was in the greenhouse and helping him out with the plants. Later that night, which just so happens to be game night, Swiss was going to recommend Seven Minutes in Heaven, Truth or Dare was the backup if no one agrees to the first game, and Dew was going to make sure to draw (Y/N)’s object from the hat. They were confident that Mountain would lose it before the two could get inside the closet. Earth ghouls have a tendency to be possessive over the objects of their desire, but their drummer has always been known for his amazingly strong sense of self-control. This is why the three think he hasn’t made a move yet, along with the fact he hasn’t realized (Y/N)’s feelings for him, and he doesn’t want to scare them away.

Waking up at 7 am, a little while after Mountain has already been outside, (Y/N) rolls out of bed, slips on a simple pair of jean shorts and a t-shirt, and chooses to go barefoot, 1. They didn’t want to overheat in their uniform, and 2. They have a feeling Mountain won’t be able to keep his eyes off their legs or ass in the slightly small shorts. Wandering out into the garden, they make their way to the large greenhouse the Earth ghoul tended to occupy during the summer months after finishing his chores in the other parts of the garden. Knocking lightly on the glass door to announce their arrival so as not to startle, the large male, (Y/N) walks inside; the greenhouse was filled with racks of several different plants, a large wooden desk that was made for the Earth ghoul was in the corner with a small fan on top that pushed a breeze through the otherwise stuffy, humid building. In the corner, bent over a pot, is the ghoul they were looking for. Mountain was dressed in jeans and a tank top with a gardening apron over the front, hair tied up in a small bun on the nape of his neck, sweat dripping down his neck and disappearing down the back of his tank top.

Biting their lip for a moment as they take in the delicious sight, (Y/N) clears their throat, making Mountain jump slightly, “Hey Mounty, I thought you might want some help?” they ask, rocking back and forth on their heels, hands clasped behind their back. The Earth ghoul stands, dusting off his hands on the apron, and turns to the smaller ghoul, “Yeah, sure. I was actually just about to call Rain to help with watering the plants, but just my luck, I have one of my favorite Water ghouls already here.” he says with a smile, (Y/N) blushes lightly at the compliment, “Aw..awesome! What do you need me to do?” they ask, playing with their tail nervously, Mountain chuckles. Still, they notice how his eyes dart down to their exposed legs before coming back up to their face, “If you want, you can just use the watering can and spray bottle, but Rain usually just makes it, well, rain in here since he says it’s faster.” he says, smiling warmly at that as he turns back to what he was doing.

Deciding to do the easy way, and also an excuse to show off in front of their crush, (Y/N) takes a deep breath, focusing in on their inner waterfall, raising their hands as they feel the already high humidity rise, with a flick of their wrist it is suddenly nearly storming in the small room. Mountain yelps as cold water is suddenly soaking into his clothes, “Fucking shit, that’s freezing!” he yells as he jumps back. The water hovers solely above the plants instead of the entire room, unlike when Rain does it, where it covers the entire room. “Wow, that’s amazing (N/N)! I didn’t realize you had that much control,” he says, smiling at them; the small ghoul blushes and smiles back, the way the water had briefly soaked the Earth ghoul’s hair made it slick down; a strand of hair was stuck to his forehead. Walking over to him, they reach up on their tip toes and brush it behind his ear, then lowering back down, “Thanks Mounty, Rain showed me how to do it, but I guess I perfected it a little more.” they say. Now it was the larger ghoul’s turn to blush, the feeling of their soft hand brushing across his cheek and moving his hair made a red flush spread across his cheeks.

As the rain continues, (Y/N) wanders around the makes the water slow to a trickle on certain plants that they know don’t need as much water, sometimes bending down even when unnecessary, angling their behind towards the Earth ghou's direct, smirking to themselves when they feel eyes on them. Trying to reach up to check the dampness of the surrounding dirt by one plant, the short ghoulette can’t reach no matter how much they stretch. Suddenly they feel a warmth against their back and a large hand on their waist, “Let me.” Mountain rumbles against their back, easily placing his hand on the damp soil, “It’s okay, it needs a little more water for now.” he says, drawing back from the Water ghoul, trying to will away the tightness that had begun in his pants. Looking back at the taller male, (Y/N) gives him a sweet smile, “Thanks Mounty, it’s a curse not ever to be able to reach; sometimes I just have to climb somethings if I wanna reach.” they say, a sultry hint to their voice as they bite their lip. Mountain’s face erupts into yet another blush, ‘Stop it, they didn’t mean it like that, you pervert’ he yells at himself.

After a few minutes, the small storm calms down, and Mountain goes to check the plants, sticking his fingers into the soaked soil to flow some of his magick into the plants. (Y/N) watches him as he does this to each box and pot in the greenhouse until he turns to them, “Well, that’s everything to do in here. Wanna get some lunch?” he asks, dusting the dirt from his hands. “Yeah, sure, I think they’re serving (Fav./Food) in the dining hall today, I’m so excited!” (Y/N) giggles, grabbing the larger ghoul’s hand and dragging the laugh ghoul from the small building into the Church. The rest of the day, the Water and Earth ghoul stayed together, finishing lunch and then going on a walk through the gardens and even through the woods for a little while, eating dinner in the dining hall, and then walking down to the ghoul den together. Mountain was elated, he hadn’t spent this much time with (Y/N) in the last two weeks because Dew and Swiss always seemed to show up and interrupt the pair, either to jump into their conversation or dragging the ghoulette off somewhere.

Plopping down on the couch, the Earth ghoul subtly drapes his arm above (Y/N) on the top of the couch; Aether, Rain, Cirrus, and Sunshine were already gathered in the room, and the other Water ghoul was sitting next to (Y/N) on Cirrus’ lap, Sunshine was painting his nails between his legs on the floor, and Aether was reading in his designated ‘dad chair’ as everyone joking called it. “So we’re just waiting on dumbass 1 & 2 and Lussy?” (Y/N) asks, curling their legs up next to them as they lightly lean into Mountain, feet pressed into Cirrus’ thigh. The Air ghoulette gives them a light smile, one hand leaving where it had been wrapped around Rain to stroke their calf, “Yeah, Papa called them in to help with cleaning his rat cages about 2 hours ago. They should be in soon. Lussy texted me that they were just finishing up 5 minutes ago.” she says, running her sharp claws up and down the other Water ghoul’s leg. “Awesome, Swiss said he had an ‘amazing idea’ for tonight's game.” (Y/N) says, purring lightly at the pleasing feeling, though they feel a light growl rumble from the Earth ghoul next to them.

Sunshine had just finished up Rain’s nails as Swiss, and Dew burst through the door, cackling about how Cumulus had apparently slipped and fallen into the bag of hay, said ghoulette followed them, quickly clipping the chortling ghouls on their ears, earning a whine from both. “Shut up, you two; at least I didn’t almost literally eat shit like Swiss when he tripped and faceplanted into the cage!” she hisses, “Come here, my cloud, ignore those idiots,” Cirrus calls from the couch. Rain moves from his spot in their lap as Cumulus tales his place, instead choosing to lay atop the other Water ghoul, purring when (Y/N) pets through his hair. The taller Water ghoul had been particularly clingy and touchy lately since he was due for his heat to start soon, so everyone always seemed to end up with a lapful of Rain demanding affection. Giggling as the lanky male nuzzles into their chest, (Y/N) looks up at Mountain, who reaches down to stroke Rain’s head, though he doesn’t seem too pleased about him laying on the ghoulette.

“Alright, Hot Shot, what’s this amazing game you thought up for us tonight?” Aether asks, setting aside his book and reading glasses as he looks at the smiling Multi, whose smile seems to grow even wider at the question, “I’m glad you asked Boogie Bear,” Aether grimaces at the nickname, “I heard about this game from a Sister last week, it’s called Seven Minutes in Heaven.” Swiss says. Dew, (Y/N), and Cirrus’ eyes widen, knowing what the game was about, the first two for obvious reasons but Cirrus had played with a couple of Siblings before, “What’s it about?” Sunshine asks, leaning back against Cumulus’ legs on the floor, “Thank you for asking, Sunbeam,” the other Multi giggles, “It’s quite simple, we all put an object that either belong to or we think symbolizes us into a hat or bag, we go one by one and pick one object,” Swiss explains, revealing a beanie that belongs to Aether from behind his back, slipping off his ring and dropping it in, “Whoever you draw, you and that person go into a closet or small room for 7 minutes, no more, no less.” he finishes, “Simple enough?” he asks. Everyone nods, but Sunshine raises their hand, “Yes, Sunny?” Swiss asks, “What do we do in the closet?” they questioned, tilting their head cutely. The taller Multi grins, “Anything you want; you can just talk or sit in silence, but some people use this as a way to, get it on, if you know what I mean.” he teases with a wink.

Sunshine’s nose wrinkles in slight disgust at the thought of doing something sexual, but she’s content to play since it’s not required. She knows none of the ghoul’s in the room would force themselves on them, “Okay, sounds fun!” she chirps, tossing the crystal bracelet she never takes off to the Multi, who drops it in the hat. Swiss passes the hat around and everyone places something in; Dew puts a guitar pick, Aether puts in his bracelet, Rain puts in one of his own rings, Cirrus puts a keyboard key chain in, Cumulus drops one of her scrunchies, (Y/N) puts in the small pocket knife they always carry, and Mountain places in a small crystal he had run to his room to grab. “Alright, everyone’s got something in?” Swiss asks, and everyone nods, “Epic, now you have to grab the first thing your hand touches. That way, you can’t purposefully search for someone.” he says with a wink at the ghoulettes.

Closing his eyes and spinning for a minute, Swiss juts out the hat at Aether. “You’re up, Dumpling,” he says with a grin. Rolling his eyes, Aether sticks his hand in, quickly pulling out a ring, “Well then, I guess we’re up~” Swiss purrs, grabbing his ring from the Quintessence ghoul, slipping it back on before grabbing the larger ghoul’s hand and dragging him into the hallway to the small storage closet. Cirrus sets a timer on her phone, the remaining ghouls decide to chat while they wait but are interrupted by a loud whine that echoes from the hallway, “Damn, they’re really getting it on in there.” Dew cackles, (Y/N) laughs with him, still petting Rain’s head, “I mean, it’s Swiss. Of course they are!” they say. Mountain shifts in his seat, worried that someone will draw his or (Y/N)’s object before it’s his turn.

Soon the timer rings, and Dew immediately springs up from where he had been lying in Sunshine’s lap, “I’ll get the happy couple.” he offers with a shit-eating grin, “Record while you open it!”(Y/N) calls after him. There is soon a yelp that comes from the hallway, “Dew, what the fuck!” they hear Aether yell; everyone erupts into laughter as a flustered Aether and pleased Swiss reenter the room. Smoothing back his ruffled hair, Swiss grabs the hat and once again spins, this time offering it to Cirrus. A few rounds pass and Cirrus had drawn Rain, who had happily trailed after the ghoulette, returning with a large blush and collapsing back into (Y/N)’s lap, burying his in their stomach, embarrassed. Cooing at the flustered ghoul, the smaller pats his head as Sunshine draws Cumulus, the pair had just returned laughing as Swiss juts the hat out to Dewdrop.

Grinning as he digs his hand into the hat, Dew pulls out a small knife, “(Y/N), you’re up, doll.” Swiss says, wiggling his eyebrows at the Water ghoul, “C’mon, sweetheart, let’s show them how it’s done.” Dew teases, offering his hand. Mountain’s eye twitches, a low growl escaping from his throat as (Y/N) accepts the Fire ghoul’s hand, “Alright, Dewy, just please don’t do anything too rough.” they giggle. The pair make their way to the closet, but the Earth ghoul doesn’t follow, Dew closes the door and leans against it, “We don’t have to actually do anything if you don’t want to Little Bit.” he says, the most genuine the Water ghoul had ever heard him, “I know Little Shit, but I have an idea that might make the plan work.” (Y/N) says, Dew raises his brow, barely visible in the low light, “I heard him growl when you drew my knife, what if we pretend to do something and see what happens?” they say, smirking at the guitarist. An equally sadistic smirk spreads across the Fire ghoul’s face, “If you weren’t going after Dirt Boy, I’d take you for myself.” he purrs, drawing them close to him by the waist.

The pair have to hold in their giggles as (Y/N) hits their fist against the wall, mimicking the sound of if Dew had slammed them against the wall, exaggerated, fake moans fill the closet, quietly snickering between them. Suddenly, they hear what sounds like a roar coming from down the hall, and then the door swings open. Mountain is standing in the doorway, chest heaving and even in the low light, they can see how dark his eyes are, reaching in the yanking (Y/N) to his chest, “Mine!” he snarls at Dewdrop, who holds up his hands in a sign of submission. The Earth giant then just about drags the smaller ghoul down the hall, (Y/N) can hear the whoops and catcalls from down the hall.

Slamming his door open and shut, Mountain pins the Water ghoul against the door, “Do you realize how fucking torturous it was to hear you too?” he hisses, faces inches away from the others, (Y/N) goes to shake their head. Still, the large male slams a hand next to their head, “I know you were in on them fucking with me, now you’re going to learn that you’re fucking mine.” he growls before smashing his lips to the smaller ghoul’s. Moaning into his mouth and tangling their fingers into his wild brown locks, the kiss turns filthy, it was filled with hunger, desperation, anger, and a hint of neediness, Mountain bites down on their lower lip, forcing a gasp from the ghoulette, shoving his tongue into their mouth, immediately dominating as he licks and explores their wet cavern. Growling lowly as he slips his hands under their thighs and lifts them up, pinning them harder against the door without breaking the kiss, (Y/N) lets out a muffled yelp as their feet leave the ground, but they quickly wrap their legs around his thin waist.

Mountain pulls away but quickly turns his attention to their throat, biting and sucking as he makes his way down, leaving a trail of hickies and love bites at all of the exposed skin he can reach. Fingers dimpling the skin of their thighs as his grip tightens, “Gonna fucking claim you, make sure none of them fucking touch what’s mine again.” he rumbles, licking at the crook of (Y/N)’s neck. The Water ghoul shivers at the possessive tone, a whine escaping their lips as Mountain nips at the spot, “Pl..please Mounty, mark me, claim me. I’m yours, please!” they beg, tilting their head up as they offer the near-feral ghoul more access. This is all the permission the typically gentle giant needs to sink his fangs into the spot, claiming the Water ghoul as his own, bonding them for eternity. Both shake as intense pleasure fills their bodies; (Y/N) moans loudly, eyes rolling back as their hips buck into Mountain’s stomach, already feeling themselves start to drip. The Earth shudders as he feels their slickness start the leak through their shorts, onto his shirt, along with the fact he can feel all of their emotions that are flooding their body.

Calming slightly, Mountain slowly unlatches from their throat, lapping at the beads of blood that drip from the puncture marks, “Such a good boy~” he purrs, nuzzling into the still-shaking ghoulette’s throat. He suddenly turns and tosses them onto the bed, yanking his shirt over his head. He stalks towards them like a predatory animal, (Y/N) grins at him as the Earth ghoul pounces onto them.

The pair don’t finish for a solid 5 hours, only stopping once both are trembling from overstimulation and the bedding was absolutely ruined from the number of fluids that have soaked into it. Mountain curls around his new mate, a mirroring mark fresh on his shoulder, purring loudly as he nuzzles into their throat. (Y/N) lets out a breathless chuckle, stroking through the unruly locks of the Earth ghoul, “Remind me only to get you jealous whenever I wanna experience that again.” they tease, earning a warning nip, “Do that again, and you won’t be walking for double the amount of time it takes you to recover from this.” he grumbles, though still purring. Grinning, smoothing back hair from his forehead and laying a soft kiss, “I won’t, my Dandelion, you’re my one and only.” they whisper against his skin, pressing a kiss to his nose when Mountain leans back slightly, a small smile on his lips. “Thank you, my Anglefish, I’m sorry if I was too rough.” he says, stroking their cheek softly, turning and pressing a kiss to his palm, “I’m okay, Mounty, I absolutely loved that.” they whisper, (E/C) meeting Green, “If it makes you feel better, me and Dew didn’t actually do anything.” they say.

Groaning slightly, Mountain rolls onto his back, dragging his new mate, who yelps, onto his chest, “I am aware. Those sounds were worse than when Swiss tried to make a sex tape.” he says, cringing at the memory, (Y/N) giggles, “Damn and here I was thinking I could make a career out of being a pornstar.” they tease, Mountain rolls his eyes, giving them a soft kiss as his eyes begin to droop, “We..should maybe clean up before we fall asleep.” he mumbles, already half-asleep. (Y/N) sighs, cuddling into their mate, “I agree… 5-minute nap first?” they suggest, but the larger ghoul is already asleep. Chuckling, they follow him into unconsciousness.

“Fuck those two are loud!” Dew screams, “At least we helped get them together!” Swiss argues.

Fic Prompts: Free Day Thursday

Adopted Dadmas universe, set a few weeks after Damas called Samos out for harassing Jak. Keira has started questioning her upbringing for the first time, and is seeing some of her past interactions with Jak in a way she doesn't like. Warnings for past Samos being, well, typical game-characterization-Samos and being nasty to children.

"You're awful quiet," Tess observed. She put down her angle grinder for a moment and observed the younger girl seated at her workbench.

"Hey. You okay, sugar?"

Keira stared off into space for several seconds before remembering to inhale. She turned a guilty face to Tess and said, "I think I'm a bad person."

Tess’s hands stilled on the prototype.

"Oh," she sighed, "this is about y'all's messed-up childhood again, right?"

"He made Daxter sleep outside! He would pretend he couldn't understand Jak until Jak did exactly what he wanted!" Keira burst out, "How could I have ever thought that was normal?!"

Tess’s lips narrowed, and she imagined the bolt she was twisting was the sage's neck. "Well, because people like that work hard to convince kids that their behavior is normal when they're too young to know better. Gives 'em the control they're so desperate for. It wasn't your fault, Kiki."

"But I knew he was being mean!" Keira cried, throwing down her blueprint. "I knew everyone treated Daxter like dirt. I knew they made Jak and Daxter do too many of their chores! But they were so nice to me and I- I- argh!"

She shoved her bench back and paced the room angrily.

"Was I weak? Or just a- a brat!? A spoiled, selfish, mean little brat!"

Tess left the table to grab Keira by the shoulders. "Hey, whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! That's my friend you're talking about, there!"

Keira tried to shove Tess away, but Tess had an uncanny strength that belied her appearance.

"Hey. Look at me, sugar. I get it. Feels like revenge, right? Revenge on yourself? Like "how dare you feel good about yourself when your friends were so badly abused right under your nose". But baby, what does that accomplish, really? No, look at me. How does you calling yourself names help Daxter and Jak now?"

Keira dashed a hand across her eyes and shrugged sullenly. "Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it only helps me."

Tess scowled. "So Samos chooses to hurt those boys again and again and instead of holding him accountable the reasonable thing to do is hurt you? Put yourself down so you can feel as bad as they did? Girl, I love you, but how does that help?"

Keira didn't have an answer.

"I'm...I'm not trying to have a pity party," she finally admitted. "I'm not the victim here. I know I'm not- I'm like, the opposite of the victim. I'm complicit, Tess! How do we come back from that? How do I fix this? I can fix everything else? Why can't I just..."

She made a frustrated groan and let Tess pull her into a tight hug. "I'm so mad, Tess. At Daddy, at myself, at this whole stupid city. And I don't know where to put that anger."

Tess grimaced, but squeezed her friend tight. "Well. That puts you a little closer to understanding how Jak feels a lot, doesn't it?"

"I've been like. The worst friend."

"Doesn't mean you can't start being a better one," Tess countered.

For a few breaths, Keira was silent. It was hard not to give in to the recriminating thoughts. She had been the unwitting accomplice to so much harm, kept sheltered with blinders on as a tool to enforce a sense of normality on a "hero" who should've had the same childhood she did. And then even when free from Samos's influence for two years, she'd found herself gravitating towards people who manipulated her in the exact same way. And she'd taken Errol's side in a fight. The side of the very man who had caused all the traits she'd criticized in Jak. Thinking about it now made her want to vomit. How had she fallen under the sway of such people for so long? And how could she ensure it would never happen again?

"Tess," Keira sniffled, pulling back from the hug, "Can...can I ask a favor?"

"Of course, Kiki," Tess answered warmly, "What's up?"

A feeling of resolve hardened in Keira's chest as she took a deep breath. "You're a spy. You know how to read people like a book. Can...could you maybe teach me? How to tell when people are, are lying, or being manipulative? Stuff like that?"

She looked away. "I want to help the guys. And if I want to do that...I need to help me, too."

Tess’s sympathetic expression stretched into a wide grin. To anyone who knew her well, it would have been an ominous sight.

"Sugar, I thought you'd never ask."

_________________________________________

And meanwhile, the absolute Mood Whiplash of what's happening just outside the city, in the mountains

_________________________________________

"I miss our dog."

"Your dog," Daxter corrected, without bothering to open his eyes.

"That's cold, Dax," Jak whispered, "How can you just disown our boy like that?!"

"Remember when he pooped in my kitchen??" Daxter asked incredulously.

"He's just a baby! He can't help it!" Jak hissed back. He rolled over on his cot to poke at Daxter's hammock. "C'mon. Don't tell me you and Tess aren't gonna have pets when all this is over. You aren't fooling anyone."

Daxter leaned out of the hammock to swat at Jak's hand. "Oy! Decent folks is tryin ta sleep, here! And for your information, we're gonna have a cabbit hutch! And a butterfly garden! And Chopper is not allowed to eat my butterflies!"

"You don't know that he would!"

Jak sat up, about to further argue the merits of the dog he'd left with Tess, when a sound akin to a growl rose from the other side of the tent. Both boys quailed and settled back into their beds.

"Jak started it!" Daxter tattled, then pulled his blankets up to his nose.

"Sorry, Pa." Jak smirked and ducked under his own woven blanket.

Damas flung his arm over his eyes and grunted disapprovingly.

"We're on the move at dawn," he reminded them, "I suggest you use the remaining hours wisely. The clan rendezvous point is a four hour hike, so for the record, depriving your father of sleep is not a wise choice."

The little scoff of laughter he heard on the other side of the tent did not sound particularly like a pair of teenagers about to heed common sense. But as it could just as easily have been Jak still delighting in the novelty of someone deliberately claiming the title of his father, Damas could let it go. For now. If they didn't quiet down, though, they were both going to be walking down the mountain while he rode in the commandeered hellcat.

[eyeslikewatercoolers]

Before I go, here's the last few pieces that I need to settle.

Whether you consider me an internet friend or that user that deserves all the hate in the world, I'm still going to say my peace.

I'm not sharing the user's username in this. They have exposed me publically, but I won't be doing the same. People still deserve privacy and dignity, no matter how much they try to hurt others.

First off, the haters-

I'm assuming you were sent here by [READACTED], or, you felt the need to 'teach me a lesson' yourself. Either way, welcome to this (now) dead blog.

I never really got the chance to share my side of the story about what happened. I shared what an anon told me more about something Plane said since [REDACTED]'s post that I reblogged had misinformation. This person answered my ask by bringing this to the public, and saying that I was a fangirl that blindly supports a misogynist. (Note- I've never interacted with this person before, and neither of us follows each other.)

I then brought this to private messages, as I felt like it should have been handled since the beginning. I attempted to explain to [REDACTED] that I was upset that they took my ask and used it to air out their grievances. I explained that I respect their opinion, but I felt like they had cherry-picked the information by taking the joke out of the context of the source.

They kept bringing up how this conversation was about my blind loyalty to Plane, and did not acknowledge what I had to say at all. I eventually left the conversation, telling them that I was not taking anything of value from it.

I left with a sarcastic comment, before blocking and moving on.

But I did look later on my alt account, out of curiosity. Here's some highlights of what they said about me:

-I am an insufferable pick-me

-I am a victim/martyr

-I am a fangirl of Plane and I want her to notice me/fuck me (Note: I found this particularly offputting to say, especially since I am an out lesbian)

Later, I received an anon that called me a raging misogynist for Plane being my fave. (Note, again: Plane isn't my fave, I just said I am a fan)

I decided to move to a private account and transfer my fics to a separate account. I wanted a fresh start after all this.

And now, moving on to friends/supportive readers/just those that are curious-

Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks to those that check in on me when I say I'm taking a break, or just want to chat. I cherished our chats about ships we like or brainstorming a fic idea.

I love my supportive anons. I smile to myself whenever I see someone who responded to an ask game or asked for my headcannon of something. I really appreciate coming in to say hi, whether its a good or bad day.

I told a few of my mutuals my new account, and some have already followed me there. I'm happy to continue seeing you on my dash.

I'm keeping this account up, but I won't be using it. I have a lot of fics on here that I would hate to see deleted. Maybe someone reads one for a source of comfort, or discovering a new pairing. Or maybe a queen will find a fic of mine and share it to their socials

Unless it wasn't obvious, the last part was a joke.

Goodbye to eyeslikewatercoolers, nobody will ever take this bomb-ass username.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for being here <3

-Erin

[enginator2000]

worst popular infinite headcanon?

oh my. this one got long so im going to spare peoples dashes by putting this under a cut haha

anyways my answer is: making him out to be a little crybaby who is driven purely by revenge and sadness to make the world pay for shadow killing his squad mates, whom he loved in a normal way and saw them as family or whatever. it makes his character so goddamn flat and boring bc thats such a standard villain motivation, and it entirely strips away a lot of his personality even when theres already so little to work with LMAO

i know ive spoken about it at length in the dog&hog server but to me, infinites most notable trait is that hes selfish

in the prequel comic rise of infinite (yay, prequel comic talk. everyones favourite, i know) he deliberately ignores any protests from his gang against accepting eggmans deal of working with him, because eggy singles him out and offers him a place at his side to bring his fantasy of ruin into reality. not infinite and his crew, just infinite

(image has two comic panels. in the first one, eggman is reaching a hand out to infinite as he says "now you are an interesting guy. i like you. how about i hire you to lead my forces? together we'll take over the world!" in the second panel, one of the jackal squad members says "boss! dont be tempted by him. we'll be fine!")

and infinite says yes after briefly talking about how he personally feels bored and tired of how the world is right now

(image has two panels. in the first, infinite is mumbling to himself, first laughing and then saying "interesting. all this time ive been going through the motions. ive actually grown quite tired of the world as it is." in the second panel he stands and says "lets do it doctor! i'll help you change this world!")

again, its a decision based off an entirely personal and individualistic opinion that only takes his own feelings into account. you would think that if he valued his squad to the extent that they were "like family" to him, he would have listened when they said he shouldnt make a deal with eggman. if he actually cared about them as much as he cared about himself, he would have trusted them enough to say no. instead he only thinks about what he wants and what he can get, not about what will happen to the others

ive always been of the opinion that infinite used his squad and position of authority as their leader to prop himself up and viewed them more like underlings or subjects that he could order around and be superior to, rather than equals whose opinions and input he valued. maybe he started out having more camaraderie with the other jackals, but it certainly doesnt show by the time we get to the events of the prequel comic, and even less so when we get to episode shadow/the main game

the idea that he saw his squad more like tools to make himself look better than people also makes more sense because when in episode shadow, eggman calls infinites squad "useless" directly to him and all infinite says is "yeah, yeah" in a very uncaring fashion. even when he then spots shadow and says "you.. you destroyed my squad!" its entirely unconvincing to me that he said it out of sorrow or sadness; to me it was more like simple anger that it happened. because now without his little group of followers that looked up to him and did whatever he told them to, he had nobody to feel superior to. he couldnt go on any more power trips by being The Boss bc there was nobody left to indulge him, no one to stoke his ego, nobody to be the boss of. so thats why he felt slighted by shadow in the first place; how dare this hedgehog take away what made him feel special and important. and then of course the ensuing humiliation that came afterward was just the icing on the shit cake haha

it also explains why infinite never brings up his squad in any of his monologues (besides the prequel comics and episode shadow being obvious afterthoughts to the main game loool); he just doesnt care. if anything, their loss was his gain bc it pushed him towards acquiring the phantom ruby and getting to go on the ultimate power trip of world domination and near total subjugation of the population. i think that also ties into his mindset that friends make you weak and you cant rely on anyone but yourself; in his case, thats literally true. if he hadnt lost his squad, if he had initially listened to them, the chain of events we know well would not have come to pass and he would not have gotten to become the powerhouse he did. he would have still been leading his monotonous life and following the same old script. from his perspective they really did hold him back, and only once they were gone was he able to become stronger. he reiterates this by thanking shadow in the dlc for doing what he did in mystic jungle (killing the jackal squad and kicking infinites ass) bc otherwise he wouldnt have gotten the incentive he needed to take on the mantle of becoming a super powered weapon

and if you want some more evidence thats admittedly a lot more of a stretch, you could also interpret infinite creating a posse of past sonic foes as him filling the void of using the jackal squad that was created after shadow had taken them down. he gets to control people again (even if theyre clones that had no choice but to obey him but nyeh i told you it was a stretch), he gets to be a leader again

idk, i just think that having a sob story as a main motivation is (funny joke here) weak. i have never once thought that infinite needs to have some kind of sympathetic or tragic backstory. and maybe thats just my own personal bias coming through bc i prefer villains that are evil for reasons like their moral philosophies or have some kind of goal that makes the audience go "maybe they do have a point tbh" and villains that are just evil for the sake of it over villains that say "my mom died" as if that is any kind of justifiable explanation. imo it almost always comes off as them making an excuse, and its lame. just own it, yknow?

so yeah if i could block one thing from the minds of infinite fans it would be the hc that infinite was tightly knit with the jackals and wanted what was best for them. bc with all the evidence ive seen, its not supported at all, and hes actually the exact opposite; he does what he wants and uses who he wants for his own purposes and gain

also yes i do think shadow straight up killed the other jackals and i do think thats in character for him but thats a conversation for another day

[happiestplacehq]

Hey everyone !!

I hope we're all doing okay. I know life is kicking everyone's butt right now. I'm putting out the good vibes!

So, I'm finally on summer holiday and other than having studying to do for my ballet qualification, I actually genuinely have some free time on my hands at the moment. As you can probably all tell, the last few months have not been great for me keeping the main up to date and pushing things out, and keeping on top of everyone else's activity has been hard when I haven't been as active myself. Long story short, my mental health has absolutely tanked the last few months (understandable, given how many things have been thrown at me in a year and a half on top of work stress and studying) and I couldn't in good conscience hound anyone to be active when I was hiding myself.

For now, I feel rested and I'm pushing through the brain fog. I'm committing to being a better mod!

ANYWAY, all this is to say is that I'm planning a small revamp/ reboot of the RP, with the hopes that this motivates all of our players to make a slow and steady return to the dash.

This revamp will include some plot updates, a massive push for the plot moving forward, and an event to welcome the new "era" of the RP. (Trust me besties, I'm excited for the idea I have and I'm already writing things inside my mind!!)

I might change up the graphics and change some bios around here and there too if my mum's laptop agrees with photoshop. I'm not promising new bios just yet (as that is a hurdle unto itself).

The main thing to note going into this revamp is this:

There will be updates to the activity rules. Sadly, being as lenient as I have been has meant that activity has fizzled, which is understandable but not great if we're wanting to keep the RP moving forward, keep everyone feeling included and welcome new writers. (I know the dash has been moving better lately, but sometimes there are points where nothing is posted for a long time.)

I haven't decided on what the new rules will be yet, so am open to feedback and suggestions, but there will be changes to both activity and interaction rules. I will also be messaging each individual character account to ask your plans for the character going forward, or if you would like to drop the character at some point too. (If you're stuck with a character, this is a great time to reboot them.) These rules will not come into effect until the revamp is complete so there's still some time to message me or have a think about what you would like to do going forward.

As always, please send in a hiatus request if you think you will be away for over 2 weeks just so I can keep things as updated as possible.

To help me in this revamp, the RP/ Main will technically be on a semi-hiatus - RP and in character interactions will continue as normal, the main will just be quieter to help me make changes and keep track of everything. As such, I won't be promoting the RP until I'm happy with the revamp, and applications for new characters will be closed for a short while. You can still message me to change character FCs, request hiatuses and all the other usual stuff.

I'm giving myself until mid-August to get as much of this done as I can. I will be away in London for training from the 15th to the 23rd August, so if I put my mind to it we'll have something by then, OR the week I come back. I'll put a poll out nearer the time when we would like the grand-reopening to be!

Like I said, interactions are still to go ahead as normal! The game itself isn't on hiatus, just the main while I change things around and give everything a fresh coat of paint. Thank you to everyone who has stuck around thus far! I can't wait to see what this revamp sparks in everyone ✨
