#3 is my favorite number. K D H are my favorite letters. when i see a knife i think of killer when i see a hood i think of dust when i see

[triglycercule]

im on vacation how can i make this about the murder time trio. mtt fresh out of a flight and the minute that they leave the airport dust stops horror and killer for the smoke break. because being around a smoker is like that. and while horror is dying and coughing from the cigarette smoke and killer is pretend coughing to make dust feel terrible theyre both simultaneously roasting the shit out of dust for being such an addict smoker. cancer speedrun GO says horror. refreshing his signature smell says killer. dust just glares at them and blows smoke in their face (horror literally takes damage he's at 0.7 HP)

This isn't going to be another "you hate fanfiction!!" because very obviously you do not, but it is prompted by the discussion of branching out into original work, since it's something I often struggle with when trying to make that jump. Do you or any of your followers have any good resources on beginner worldbuilding? I really struggle with it.

Thank you!

If you check out my post where I made a "Prep Calendar" for Outline October (Which is a November-prep alternative/ supplement to Ominous October, the spooky short story event), I actually made a rather rough calendar outline of how to go about world building in advance for November;

The basic first steps for me are usually just three things:

Who are your characters

What kind of world do they live in (aka setting)

Whats your main plot/conflict?

To start worldbuilding at its lowest level, start with number one and work your way up; figure out what kind of character you'd like to write, where they live, and go from there!

Here is the prep calendar I threw together in MS paint, I definitely reccomend downloading it on desktop to actually zoom in to see what all it says lol.

And as a bonus, I will even make a fun, silly little exercise for anyone who'd like to get some practice in!

If you want to join in, grab a pen and pencil, or open up your favorite note-taking app :D

Here we go....!

Let's start out by saying that my basic concept for a character is *spins mental wheel of random ideas*....... a talking deer! 1) So now that I have decided that I want a talking deer character, now I have to decide: A) do *all*deer talk? B) Do *all* animals? C) Or is it just this one singular deer who is special? 2) If it *is* just this one singular deer who can talk, are they: D) otherwise a perfectly normal deer who just happens to be able to talk? E) Can they talk because they used to be human? F) Can they talk because they used to be an Alien or encountered Alien Tech (scifi) ? G) Can they talk because they used to be a Magical Creature or ran into a Magical Spell (fantasy) ? 3) Now you get to decide, mostly if you chose A or B from #1 but also useful for C : H) Is your story a more personal nature documentary, with realistic interactions between predators and prey? I) Is your story going to be a unique world where deer have built a society with technology and know how to defend themselves from predators? J) Is your story a unique world where all animals can talk and are equally sentient, therefore predators are revered as gods or keepers of the dead, who bring all back to the circle of life and prevent the spread of illness and disease, with older animals proudly going "to the wolves" to give their life to their brethren who consecrate the bones of the dead and keep resources plentiful? K) Or are predators the monsters in the dark, the teeth that bite, the slavering jaws that kill to live and *cannot live any other way*, so has learned not to regret? L) Or even, predators who feed from the already-dead when they can, and eat their fill of berries, nuts and fruits when they cannot, because they do not wish to take the lives of others for their own sake?

*clears throat* ahem. Drama done (can you see why I love worldbuilding) ,

go ahead and pick a letter from each of the above options, and jot them down on your paper or note-taking app.

You now have: A basic character, their backstory, and a basic setting!

From three-ish questions from a basic idea, you can spawn multiple possibilities, each of which can branch off into their own unique iterations!

Here's a few more, if you'd like to continue the exercise as further practice:

What is your deer's name?

What do they look like / what kind of deer are they? (deer of various species are found over almost the entire world, so there is tons of variety! :D )

What kind of world do they live in?

How do they interact with humans?

*are* there humans in your story?

What kind of zany or terrifying adventures would your talking deer and a human go on?

What kind of adventures would your talking deer go on with other deer or other animals?

How does your deer get along with other species?

Do they have friends from other species?

Do they have rivals from other species?

Do they have *sworn enemies* from other species?

Do they have a *love interest* from another species?

etc!

I am hoping this game/exercise is helpful, my brain being both autistic and ADHD means I am, at the drop of a hat, ready to start spouting more and more ideas sparked from a single concept at any given moment!

And yes, if you did this exercise, please feel free to use your deer character in a story, draw art of your deer character, etc!

If this exercise was helpful to you or fun, please feel free to tag any deer creations with "NovellaDeer" , I'd love to see them!

You can easily adapt this exercise to any story concept you need to worldbuild; pick what basic idea you have for a main character, and start asking yourself questions about them and their circumstances, and let yourself come up with multiple, contradicting answers for each question; the more the merrier!

After you've decided which starting answers you like the most, you can work your way down the list, asking follow-up questions, and before you know it you will have your very own original character :D

And do not feel like you need to keep your character exactly the way they start out as; characters evolve over time, and you may find yourself changing their "base" character to suit your story or to suit your tastes as you get more experienced with writing and world building!

[honeybomb4thebear]

Hi! So idk if you're doing a limit on the number of NSFW alphabet letters for each character, but if not, can I get a-z with teruteru? And if that's too many, B,D,F,H, and T? Thank you so much! I love your writing!

AAAAAAAAAAAAH you love it!?!? THANK YOU SM I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AKDJSKJAD <3 

Warning: N//F*W!! (i don’t know how should I write it!!)

TERUTERU NSFW ALPHABET (A-Z)

A=Aftercare - What they do/act like after sex. ⦁ You know he will act all tough and smug, but he'll be VERY tired. He will try to tease you about how he "worn you out", but you both know who is the tired one here...

B=Bondage - Are they into BDSM, and how far they’ll go if they have a green light. ⦁ C'mon, it's Teru. Of course he is into BDSM. But as cliche as it sounds, he is definetly afraid of getting hurt/hurting you. Like extreme stuff, knifeplay or sumth. Aside from that, he will tie you up, and is a rope bunny himself, probably not a fan of degrading/getting degraded. Expect lots of dirty talk, though.

C=Cum - pretty self explanatory. ⦁ It's decently thick, probably tastes sweet too because as a chef he has a good diet himself.

D=Dom - Are they dominant, submissive, a switch? ⦁ Oh my god he is such a switch. I feel like the more perverted you are, the more of a switch you become. Look at Miu, Kazuichi and Teru for example. Chef boi is definetly a switch.

E=Edgeplay - Similar to ‘Kinks’ except it’s a lot riskier than usual kinks (knifeplay, breathplay, etc.). ⦁ No it's too risky lol. He really isn't a fan of hurting you, no matter how big of a pervert he is. Does exhibitionism count though? If so, he is an exhibitionist.

F=Fantasy - A fantasy of theirs (ex: a teacher/student fantasy). ⦁ Okay, it's kinda specific but probably something like this: After a busy day as a professional chef, he arrives to his huge mansion, and you are waiting for him in an erotic costume. Instant nosebleed. You massage his stiff shoulders as he tells you about his day and how you look even more delicious than the food he prepares all day long, and then it quickly escalates from there. ⦁ Or so he thinks- actually the thing he REALLY fantasies about you two in his hometown, in your own cosy house making out on the couch as the snow falls outside and the crackling from the fireplace fills your ears, along with the cute whimpering and moaning of yours. Then you "make love". After the session, you two cuddle and declare each other your love- it's romantic, it's warm and it's sweet.

G=Got Caught - How they react when they get caught having sex. ⦁ HE IS DEFINETLY SMUG AF. WATCH HIM SMIRK AS HE TALKS ABOUT HOW THE PERSON WHO CAUGHT YOU "could watch you as you make love". Scold him after that, because even though the person left he really shouldn't have done that... But well, you know that he did it because he was proud of having sex with you- and he is quite an exhibitionist. Still not an okay thing to do, though.

H=Hot Spots - A place that drives them crazy when stimulated (EX: neck). ⦁ Between her thighs. Not quite his cock, just his inner thighs. Watch him go crazy after that.

I=Intimacy - How romantic they are, or can be, before, during, or after sex. ⦁ He is definetly smug- like, super duper cocky. But when you act all soft, expect him to turn into a softie in an instant. If you talk about how much you love him, he will blush real quick and handle you with care. Or will let you handle him with care...

J=Journey - Their ideal way of leading up to sex. ⦁ After you keep complimenting the food he made for you, he will act all suave and kiss your hand. You blush but let him kiss you more, until he reaches your lips. Then, yeah- he is fine with anything.

K=Kinks - I’ll list a few of their kinks, be they the normalized ones or kinkier kinks. ⦁ Uhhh foodplay maybe? And praise, definetly praise.

L=Location -  Where they like to have sex at, do they like risky locations, etc. ⦁ He is fine with anywhere y'all- aside from somewhere near his mother.

M=Masturbation - How they are when they get themselves off, what they get themselves off to. ⦁ He moans and giggles quite a bit, if you are near he will ESPECIALLY moan out your name, and will be louder in general. He wants to get caught usually- but if he doesn't he will just giggle and let out some breathy moans. He used to get himself off to porn, but now it's just you.

N=NO - A few things that they will absolutely, under no circumstances, ever do. ⦁ Yeah for real, don't hurt him. Overstimulation is okay, though. Also seeing you in tears because of the pleasure and pain is hot, but nothing too extreme pls. And also he would definetly not want to get caught by his mother, so no sex near her too-

O=On’s - Their top turn on’s that they have (things that’ll get them super horny super quickly). ⦁ Basically anything you do with the intention of turning him on. Also, idk if that counts but pat his hair. His hair is important for him, he takes good care of it and for you to acknowledge it will make him happy and even turned on if you do it well enough. Which is, knowing Teru, not much effort is needed lol

P=Position -  Their favourite position to have sex in. ⦁ G-Whiz, the position where you lie back with your legs resting on your partner's shoulders. Both roles are okay with him, however with a femdom he'd prefer cowgirl's helper.

Q=Quickie - Do they like it, do they prefer quickies over actual sex, etc. ⦁ Yeah he likes it! It doesn't mean he prefers it over actual sex, though. He gets horny quite often so thought of fucking you right after is nice for him. Or getting fucked by you, that is-

R=Rough - How rough they are, or get, when in bed. ⦁ He is rough lol. That's why he gets tired. And the other reason being...

S=Stamina - How long they can go before they tap out. ⦁ ...his stamina. No, it isn't like he doesn't have much, he is full of energy y'know-. It's just that he pushes himself too hard, he gets very tired after it ends.

T=Toys - Do use toys, do they own them, what kind, etc. ⦁ Of course he does. Vibrators, gags, ropes (if they count), dildos, strap-ons... He is a frequent at the erotic shops. Watch out for the kokeshi dynamo though lol

U=Unfair - How much they tease you, how they tease you, etc. ⦁ TEASES YOU AND CALLS YOU A PERVERT FOR WANTING TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM AFTERWARDS. THAT FUCKER ISTG- ⦁ Also he will insert a vibrator and make you go on with your day as he randomly pushes its switch with a perverted grin. He will enjoy seeing your embarrassed face so, so much-

V=Volume - How loud they get when having sex, things they might say, etc. ⦁ He screams "AVRIL LAVINGEEEEEEEEE" or some random American popstar as he cums, not because he thinks of them instead of you but because that's just how he is- he will apologize afterwards. But you know him so it'll be okay, hopefully. Oh, he also moans a lot. And giggles seductively.

W=Wild Card - a random letter for the character of your choice. ⦁ The favorite body part of his... Is his hair, but aside from that, it's his voice. I mean, c'mon. His voice is so hot.

X=X-Ray - How they look with their clothes off. ⦁ Chubby boy with strechmarks at the end of his stomach. The tanlines are visible as well! His cock is... 10 cm erect. It's thick, though.

Y=Yearning - How often they need to have sex. ⦁ Very rarely! You know how he is- just kidding, he'd be down to fuck 7/24, unless he is sad or sumth.

Z=ZZZ - How quickly they fall asleep after having sex. ⦁ Like I said, he'll be super tired afterwards so watch him pass out after he tries to do your aftercare lol.

[shoutosteakettle]

so technically right now we are at 499, but as someone who has little to no self-control or patience i’ve decided we are doing this right now. every time we hit a milestone i make sure to include the we or the us, because even though i might be the one doing all the writing or at least use to, there would be no way i could be where i am right now without you guys, so for what feels like the millionth time, i want to thank you guys. thank you for sticking with me through my highs and my lows. thank you for being there to catch me after all the times that i jumped. thank you for being the voice of reason guiding me away from my less than sensible choices. and thank you for being the light that shone brightest during my darkest moments.

you guys can just think of this celebration as a way for me to say thank you.

so i guess this banner is more appropriate.

anyways, i’m sure i already bored you to death with the sappy stuff, so let’s get to the fun stuff!

instead of one night where you guys send in request and i write drabbles, i’m not doing that at all. i have a list of different things that you request! i kinda went all out here, so i’m hoping you guys do the same! feel free to request as many times as you want for everything! i think i used to many exclamation marks! i’m just excited! 

first activity is matchups, i just need to know a couple of things about you so i can match your bnha counterpart :)

- gender

- sexual orientation

- how your friends would describe your personality

- how you would spend a day off

- your zodiac sign

- your favorite genre of music

- and lastly, your biggest turn off

so here are some prompts for fluff/angst headcannons! you can pick as many prompts from each alphabet as you want and the same for the characters, just remember not to go crazy with it and request all forty-eight letters with all of class 1-A.

fluff-abet

attractive - what do they find attractive about the other?

baby - do they want a family? why/why not?

yearn - do old memories make them yearn for your touch?

(clock strikes) zero - how do they spend their last moments with their s/o? 

that’s right, there aren’t prompts for drabbles because i have decided it is impossible for me to write those. whenever i’m given an idea for a fic i want to explore it to it’s fullest and make sure that i do it justice. so that’s why for any and all requests i get for fics will have a minimum word count of one thousand. it’s most likely that i won’t get these done until i’m old and grey and hanging out with my grandkids, so bear with me.

so to request you pick a number from either the fluff or angst column, and then a letter from the list of settings (the settings part is completely optional though). so for example, fluff 19k with shou or angst -26e w/ zuzu or just angst 6 with toshi.

LORI / LORAE / ԼՈՐԻ

Lori is a conlang inspired by some of my favorite languages, which are Armenian, Finnish, Irish, Greenlandic, Spanish and Northern Sàmi. You’ll most likely see influences from these languages in Lori. It’s mostly an artistic conlang, but definitely has natural elements to it. Aesthetically, I wanted the conlang to look magical and a little witchy. I was oddly enough inspired by the Twilight Forest mod in Minecraft.

ALPHABET & PHONETICS

a /a/, b /b/, c /ʃ/, d /d/, e /e/, ph /f/, g /g/, h /h/ ae /i/, ch /k/, l /l/, m /m/, n /n/, ou /o/, p /p/, r /ɾ/, s /s/, t /t/, o /ɔ/

(I’m not an expert with the IPA symbols, so I hope these are correct)

Lori can be written with both Latin letters and Armenian letters. I decided to do the Armenian letters as a way of trying to get myself more used to them since I’m trying to learn Armenian. All letters have the same phoneme as in Armenian, apart from վ (in Lori it’s /f/, in Armenian it’s /v/) and թ (in Lori it’s /t/, in Armenian it’s /tʰ/). 

NOUNS & ADJECTIVES

Nouns in Lori are declensed into number and optional definiteness in addition to 12 cases and 7 color moods. There are several declension systems, and which one to follow is decided by the ending of the noun. In this post I’ll keep it simple and showcase the most basic and most common declension, which you use with almost all nouns ending on a consonant.

DEFINITENESS

(ae) tom / a moon tom / the moon tomr / moons (e) tomr / the moons

CASES

nominative / tom - moon accusative / tomout - moon (as object of a sentence) dative / tome - moon (as indirect object of a sentence) genitive /  tomae - moon’s locative / tomac - on/in moon ablative / tomaàe - from moon lative / tomea - to moon komitative-instrumentative / tomach - with moon abessive / tomat - without moon translative / tomaph - into (the state of) moon essive / toma - as moon temporal / tomoum - when moon

nominative / tomr - moons accusative / tomoutr - moons (as object of a sentence) dative / tomre - moons (as indirect object of a sentence) genitive /  tomrae - moons’ locative / tomrac - on/in moons ablative / tomraàe - from moons lative / tomrea - to moons komitative-instrumentative / tomrach - with moons abessive / tomrat - without moons translative / tomraph - into (the state of) moons essive / tomra - as moons temporal / tomroum - when moons

ADJECTIVES

Adjectives are declensed into the same case as the noun they describe, just as in Finnish ;D

echreou tom - big moon echrac tomac - on big moon echrate tomrat - without big moons

COLOR MOODS

(still w.i.p.)

All nouns in Lori can be declensed into 7 color moods. These colors give the nouns a certain personal quality:

pocha - dog

red - you dislike this (pocha -> pochora) + r, or, chr orange - you crave this (pocha -> pochta) + t, et yellow - you fear this (pocha -> pochsa) + s green - you are pleased with this (pocha -> pochno) + n, no blue - you are waiting for this (pocha -> pochnaea) + nae indigo - you feel for this (pocha -> poucheg) + ou, oug, eg, g violet - you love this (pocha -> pochollaea) + ll, oll, ollae

How nouns are declensed into these is quite irregular, but in most cases the extra letters are added before the last vowel. Which letters, if there are more options, is free of choice. I think this adds an interesting personal level of expression to Lori, which is why I decided to add it in.

VERBS & ADVERBS

Verbs in Lori are conjugated in person, number, tense and mood. All infinitives end on -ae.

abrae - to speak, talk ollae - to love camnae - to sleep máegnae - to understand aoutae - to see

As verbs are conjugated in person, pronouns are not needed with them. 

amaet - I ta - you na & nou - it & he/she sachou - we  tachou - you (all) ea & eou - they & they (plural it)

When conjugating the verbs, the infinitive ending (-ae) is replaced with a tense/mood/person ending. 

present tense endings: -em, -et, -e, -elem, -eae, -es simple past tense endings: -aem, -aet, -ae, -aelaem, -aeh, -aes “just now” past tense endings: -ouchaem, -ouchaet, -ouchae, -ouchaelem, -ouche, -ouchaes “a while ago” past tense endings: -ouhaem, -ouhaet, -ouhae, -ouhaelem, -ouhe, -ouhaes potential past tense endings: -aeam, -aeat, -aea, -aealem, -eaet, -aeas future tense endings: -am, -at, -a, -alam, -aé, -as conditional mood endings: -om, -ot, -o, -aelom, -oae, -os

I sleep. / Camnem. / Շամնեմ։ She sees. / Aoutae. /  Աութի։ We spoke. / Abraelaem. /  Աբրիլիմ։ They just saw. / Aoutouchaes. /  Աութուկիս։ You loved once. / Ollaeouhaet. / Ոլլիուհիթ։ (irregular, keeps it’s infinitive mark) I might understood. / Màegnaeam. /  Մաեգնիամ։ You (all) will sleep. / Camnalam. /  Շամնալամ։ He would speak. / Abro. / Աբրո։

Lori has two imperatives:

abread - speak (polite, kind of like a request) abraech - speak! (command)

In Lori, you can place “which” sentences before the noun they are about, functioning as adjectives. 

Abraen pocha camne taeèlac. The dog, which spoke, is sleeping on the floor.

“Abraen” translates as “which spoke”. These can be conjugated into all the tenses and moods. The endings are:

-en (present), -aen (simple past), -achaen (”just now” past), -ahaen (”while ago” past), -aean (potential past), -an (future), -on (conditional)

Adverbs from adjectives are usually formed by either putting an en- affix on the adjectives, or a -st suffix. 

talla - quick entalla / tallast - quickly

However, there are several adverbs that don’t follow this.

peaecaegae - well (poae - good) aàech - loudly (troub - loud) mouschan - beautifully (moscharae - beautiful)

None of the adverbs not formed from adjectives follow these rules, for example “maerchetounaechaes” (right now).

She’s very outward in her personality, what you see is 100% what you get with her. It throws most people for a loop at first, a lot of people think she might tone down more if you get to know her better, but nope! She’s just genuinely that exuberant.

I don’t see the point in jealousy. All it does is make you unnecessarily angry and resentful towards people who haven’t done anything to you. 

K-knife preference?

Butterfly knives are fun...and do swords count? Because if so, the katana is an awesome weapon...

L-love at first sight?

See the letter I. 

M-middle name?

Marie, after one of my grandmothers. 

N-number of siblings?

3. Two brothers and one sister. 

O-one wish?

To figure out my life. 

P-person I last called?

My mom, and by accident. I was trying to help her figure out something on her new cellphone and accidentally dialed her from mine. 

Q-questions I’m always asked?

"How long did it take you to grow your hair?” 

No time at all, it was just like that when I woke up today.... The non-sarcastic answer is 23 years. All related answers to follow-up comments I get are as follows: Yes, my hair is in fact long. No, obviously I haven’t cut it, and trimming it is a rarity. No, I don’t do anything to it aside from standard washing and brushing. NO, YOU MAY NOT FUCKING TOUCH IT BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T ASK FIRST GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OUT OF IT.

(Is it not at all obvious how much I get all of this? And it’s far too rare that it’s a straight-up complement such as “you have such pretty hair.”) 

R-reason to smile?

Lately, the pain I’m going to cause with this fic I’m managing to write. The fact that there’s going to be a new Assassin’s Creed game. The upcoming new season of Tangled. Jurassic World coming out this week (Blue is always a good reason to smile.) 

S-song I last sang?

Whichever one was playing in my car when I got out of it last night. I don’t remember what it was. 

T-time I woke up?

Nearly noon. 

U-underwear colour?

White with some blue and purple design on them. 

V-vacation destination?

I’d love to go see Japan and all of Europe one day. I’d also love to spend time anywhere in the tropics. 

W-worst habit?

Procrastination, if it can even be called that at this point. 

Z-zodiac?

Sagittarius

Tagging any and everyone who wants to do this.

A - Z (Fandom ‘Come At Me, Friend’ Meme)

WELL THEN *cracks knuckles* HERE WE GO 

(all 26 letters behind a cut bc this is very long)

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

As of this hour, my top OTPs are Penelope/Schneider from ODAAT and Joyce/Hopper from Stranger Things. But I have endless numbers of them, even within each fandom.

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

Jean/Alice from TDBM. 

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Um…hmm. I’m such a multishipper, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my NOTPs. I’ve never been onboard the Keens from The Blacklist, though. Not even a little. I only enjoyed Tom in his original villainous state.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

A couple of my spouse’s faves, I really wish I liked too, especially Sam/Josh and Mal/Simon. I don’t like one of the characters in each very much, so I’ve never been able to get into them–even though I understand them, and have had fun writing them…I just don’t love them too.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Yeah, mostly graphics, though. I don’t think I’ve ever written crackfic. I did New York Times Minus Content edits for TDBM, a ton of those. Also Sext Message Error sets for Lizzington and for Josh/Donna. And Welcome To Nightvale sets for iZombie and Lizzington. And OTP Bot sets for Lizzington.

And this isn’t EXACTLY crack, but my original tumblr claim to fame was this Hamilton/TWW crossover that got reblogged by Lin himself.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Mm, the first time I actively joined a fandom was Buffy, and I was about 14 when that started for me…so as of this year I’ll have been in that fandom for 20 years! But I’ve been a fangirl literally my whole life, I just didn’t really join fandoms before the internet, and I started using the internet more in junior high and HS.

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Lou/Joey from Brotherly Love, or Claire/Trevor from Cupid (original run), or Dharma and Greg, or Allison/Wade from CryBaby, or Idgie/Ruth from Fried Green Tomatoes. I was a shipping prodigy, and the couples I was obsessed with as a literal child blur together a bit in the timeline, so I’m not completely sure which came first.

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.) 

TV shows.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

The Aaron Tveit fandom made me uncomfortable watching BrainDead before I even had the chance to decide if I liked it or not. Most fandoms I love, though. I prefer to ignore the drama and focus on the people I actually like. 

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

SO MANY. Parks and Rec, TDBM, Stranger Things…a significant portion of my watchlist comes from this hellsite by now–I have friends with good taste.

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

@mossdonnatella is in a lot of my fandoms. She is a much better fic writer than she thinks she is!!

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

I really ended up disliking Jacob a lot, on Grace and Frankie. But I will say that in the beginning he is very respectful of Frankie’s boundaries and tries to be patient with her, and I did like that.

M - Say something genuinely nice about a ship that you don’t ship (or its shippers, or anything related to you)

I don’t actively ship Jancy on Stranger Things after seeing S1 (I don’t really ship Steve/Nancy either, though…I think I mostly just ship Nancy x happiness) but the moment when her mom knocks on her bedroom door and they reach for each others’ hands instinctively? That is a damn fine understated sweet connection moment and I really enjoyed and believed it.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

Okay since a lot of my top fandoms are for shows that ended a long time ago, I’m going with One Day At A Time. In fic or in canon, I want to see a lot more of Schneider being Penelope’s BFF and her confidant. I want more serious!Schneider moments bc it turns out the actor rocks at them, and I want to see Pen really get to move on from Victor as her kids get older, I want real confirmation that she’s finally past any possibility of reconciliation with him bc she deserves SO MUCH BETTER.

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

Randomizing my music gave me “Quiet” by MiLCK feat. GW Sirens and Capital Blend. 

Sample lyrics:

Cuz no one knows me, no one ever willIf I don’t say something, take that dry blue pillThey may see a monster, they may run awayBut I have to do thisI can’t keep quiet, no A one woman riot

Despite the mature meaning behind the lyrics, and probably because I’m watching Stranger Things right now, it reminds me of Eleven, the tiny badass fighting her way to freedom.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Alright, I’m gonna invent one right off the top of my head right here and now since you asked. Um… a One Day At A Time AU in which Penelope meets Schneider not as her landlord but as a patient, once she becomes an NP. Doctor/patient “okay if you won’t stop asking me out then get a new doctor so I can say yes” fluff ensues.

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

Lizzington. I’m technically still writing fic for it bc I have a chapter fic to finish, but I haven’t watched the show in years, I avoid content for it, and have no interest in it anymore besides the phantom limb feeling of having been so invested in a ship for that long and making friends around it.

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Well, since I mentioned it earlier, I think I’m the only person ever to watch the scenes Bud and Brianna have together in Grace and Frankie and think “that should really be a thing.” 

Also…Kate/Donna from The West Wing. Based entirely on one scene.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

I genuinely don’t understand this question, sorry. What’s an ‘example’ of my headcanon, and how does that relate to prompts? If somebody wants to explain this to me, I’ll answer it. 

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

Yep yep yep. Andy was the leak, not Toby, and that is the hill I will die on always. I’m sure I have others, but that’s the big one.

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Toby Ziegler (TWW), Alice Harvey (TDBM), Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls), Jim Hopper (Stranger Things), and Spencer Hastings (from what I just saw of PLL with @actuallylukedanes). 

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Luke/Lorelai, Gilmore Girls. Parker/Hardison/Eliot, Leverage. Joyce/Hopper, Stranger Things.

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said ships

Josh/Donna (TWW), Donna in control. Matthew/Alice (TDBM), hurt/comfort sex. Alvareider (ODAAT), “whoops are we kissing wait do we like each other?”Jared/Miss Parker (The Pretender), conflicted kisses up against wallsI’m having trouble thinking of a 5th one but I used to really like Lizzington angry!sex bc damn that ship was angsty

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

Eleven, Toby Ziegler, Schneider, Lena Luthor, Logan Echolls, literally every main character on The Good Place.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Game of Thrones, Agents of Shield, Doctor Who (though I finally have started this one!), Jane the Virgin, The Worst Witch, and lots more…I like learning about fandoms secondhand. 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

Every single one of these tiny Stranger Things children in S1 is the epitome of epic friendship and I love it. Mike jumps off a cliff to protect Dustin and Dustin’s willing to get his teeth cut out to protect Mike and Lucas offers a sincere apology when he’s wrong, something most adults still suck at, and Will tells Mike the truth even when he would benefit from lying and Eleven chooses death to save them all and they are beautiful and perfect and I love them.

The Alphabet Game

Thanks to @theamiableanachronism for inviting me to participate!

Rules: answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better

a- age: 22

b- birthplace: U.S.

c- current time: 8:30 PM

d- drink you last had: water

e- easiest person to talk to: my boyfriend

f- favorite song: I actually haven’t been listening to a lot of music lately, something I need to remedy! The most recent ones I’ve been invested in are “Turn to Stone” by Electric Light Orchestra (ideal for blasting in the car) and “It’s a Heartache” by Bonnie Tyler (I have a thing for breakup songs and this one is particularly heart-wrenching)

g- grossest memory: I had a horrible stomach bug over Christmas break my freshman year of college and it was just... disgusting. The day after it hit I was pretty much too weak to even get out of bed

h- horror yes or horror no: emphatic no. Stranger Things is the closest I’ll get

i- in love?: I don’t think so

j- jealous of people?: if I’m honest with myself, very much yes. I need to be beaten over the head with a plaque that reads “Comparison is the thief of joy”

k: in an interesting turn of events, k was expelled from the alphabet for the purposes of this game. But rest assured, he is out there, waiting. He will be back. And he will not forget

l- love at first sight or should I walk by again?: keep walking by until you gather up the courage to say hi, cause heaven knows I’m not that brave! In all seriousness, though, I really think it’s a matter of getting to know someone long enough to see something inspiring and/or beautiful about them (however long that might take)

m- middle name: all I’m going to say is that it’s somewhere near the top of the Most Common Female Middle Names list and that I like it well enough

n- number of siblings: one

o- one wish: to live a life of happiness and holiness and love <3

p-person you called last- if you count unanswered calls, my boyfriend. Otherwise, my best friend

q- question you are always asked: “Are you Irish?” (For the record, yes, half of me is pure unadulterated Irish)

r- reason to smile: we’re finally getting fall weather! I’m so excited!

s- song you last sang: I was singing bits of “What a Wonderful World” to myself this evening while driving home after an exam review session

t- time you woke up: shortly before my alarm went off at nine this morning

u- underwear color: ...

v- vacation destination: NEW ZEALAND. Europe’s also starting to grow on me; it’s very picturesque, or at least the countryside is

w- worst habit: I’m a binge-eater

x- x-rays: come again? (When k returns, x is the first letter he’s coming for)

y- your favorite food: there’s a lot I love, but you really can’t go wrong with a good grilled chicken sandwich

z- zodiac sign: Aries

(I’m gonna go with my personal favs bc they usually end up with few notes so pls check them out if ur reading this?)

to keep you warm - victuuri

The sky around the faraway glaciers was greying and soon the sun would peek from behind them to drown the world with light. Standing at his side, Yuuri pressed their shoulders together. His warmth seeped into Victor, slow and careful, mindful of his melting, and Victor in turn pulled the winds closer around them, locking them in a cold whirl of crisp air.

Together, they watched the new day rise.

oh ye of so little faith - miyusawa

He'd never thought this was possible, he'd never believed. But Eijun... He always knew. He always knew that one day, that this day would come.

Still smiling, Kazuya allowed Eijun to lean in and press a kiss to his lips this time. And happiness never tasted sweeter.

One shot - miyusawa

Eijun pulled the trigger.

The gun recoiled, numbing his hand... and his heart.

You could have loved me when you had the chance - oihina

"Goodbye, Tooru."

He picked his bags and walked away, leaving the man he loved behind on the platform. He didn't look back, and there was no need to. Because this time Tooru didn't come after him either.

And as the wide doors slid shut behind him, the train starting to move and slowly gaining speed, he sagged against the wall, the sobs wrecking his body, and Shouyou was sure that he would never come after him again.

Dressed like a daydream - bokuhina

He scooped up Hinata into his arms, held him close, and while they were still both breathless, pressed a thousand kisses to Hinata's face.

The forehead, temple, brow. Nose and eyelids, cheeks and jaw, chin and lips. And then again. Until Hinata's warm laughter, tired but satiated, filled the air and Bokuto's heart.

Hinata was magic, madness, heaven, sin. But to Bokuto, he wasn't just that.

To him, Hinata was everything.

RULES : answer the questions in a new post and tag some blogs you wanna get to know better !

A  -  AGE : Due to stalking and harassment reasons (guys someone found my address, I still don’t know how, and sent me a handwritten love letter, I’d only been talking to him for less than a week.) only a select number of people on the internet know this. B  -  BIRTHPLACE : Texas  C  -  CURRENT  TIME :   Again, stalking. See above. D  -  DRINK  YOU  HAD  LAST : Milk? I think??? E  -  EASIEST  PERSON  TO  TALK  TO :   irl? Um, probably my friend Dillon. On tumblr either @normaltothemax​ or any of the Oscrew peeps. F  -  FAVORITE  SONG :  It changes on a weekly basis. Right now I’m loving Superhero by Simon Curtis. G  -  GROSSEST  MEMORY : .........Let me think. Oh yes, okay, so I was about eight and my local Science Center was doing a sleepover thing where you’d spend all day and all night in the Science Hall and you got to play hide and seek and it was super cool. So I made it til about midnight that night and then woke up with a mouth full of vomit (fun right?). Now the thing was, I was eight and the Science Center was very big, and very dark and I had no idea where the bathroom was. So, with my mouth full of vomit I had to wake up my counselor, somehow mime to her that i had to throw up and have her take me to the bathroom.

GROSS RIGHT? I’M NOT DONE.

SOMEHOW, I had managed to come down with the stomach flu and the rest of the night was spent in a similar fashion, that poor counselor.

Deciphering the Ancient Tongue based on Eizen’s Name Part 2: Bienfu

Last time, we started deciphering the Ancient tongue from Tales of Berseria/Zestiria using a “mistake” in the localization as a key. Eizen’s name of “Uzfmiwuw Uexub” gave us the following alphabet:

But there are a lot of missing letters. And we have some doubts as to whether this is correct. You can’t prove a theory with only one sample, after all!

So let’s check out Bienfu’s names. He’s useful because he has two given ‘true’ names- one from Eleanor, and one from Magilou (remember we are shamelessly working off Minoath’s true name analysis because I am too impatient to wait for my copy of the World Guidance books to arrive). We’ll look at Magilou’s first because it’s shorter. Starting off simple, and all that.

Localization: Fuschie Cass Japanese:  フューシィ＝カス Romanization: Fyuus(h)i = Kasu Translation: Cute Hate /  かわいいぼうし

I put the H in Fyuus(h)i in parentheses because this is a non-standard transcription. This kana could be pronounced “shi” or “si”. For more about transcription of Japanese, here’s a Wikipedia article with a handy chart.  シィ isn’t on there, but I vaguely remember is being “si” in other things so that’s what I’ll use until/unless I’m proven wrong.

If we use our key from Eizen, all we get for Fyuusi Kasu is: P(_)EE(_)(_)=(_)(_)(_)E, where (_) is a missing letter. But final U in Japanese can be unpronounced, so if we drop it, we get three blank letters for the second “word”. “Hat” is only three letters, so this gives us some more letters for our cipher! H is a K sound (K, C, or Q), A is an A sound, and T is an S sound (S, sometimes C). Let’s put those in our key, in parentheses to show that we’re still working on those letters:

This helps us with Fyuusi a little, too, because we now have the deciphered version as P(_)EE(t)(_). But this doesn’t look anything like the meaning we’re given of “cute”.

Until we look at the Japanese meaning of Fyuusi.  かわいい has the following meaning in my favorite online Japanese dictionary, Jeffrey’s: “(adj-i) (1) (uk) cute; adorable; charming; lovely; pretty; (2) (uk) dear; precious; darling; pet; (3) (uk) cute little; tiny”

Using the translation “pretty” gives us FWU(s)(s)(_) in our cipher, which supports some of our existing letters and gives us a clue about Y: it can be pronounced with an イ/ i (IPA) / long e. Since i and E are already in use, Y is most likely Y. “Fwussy” is not a letter combination that occurs naturally in Japanese, so to pronounce it they would use something like  フーシ or  フューシ. So “Pretty = Fwussy = フューシィ = Fyuus(h)i = Fuschie = Cute” can totally happen.

An update of our cipher key and the deciphering of Bienfu’s name from Eleanor is behind the cut, because this is already really long.

Updated cipher key:

Bienfu’s Name from Eleanor:

Meaning: Trial for Reason (理想のための試練) Japanese:  イジューム＝ハイ＝リィ＝エジャム Romanization: ij(y)uumu = hai = ri - ej(y)amu

I put the Y’s in the romanization in parentheses because you don’t always need them with these particular letters. “Ju” and “Ja” are usually fine, but “Jyu” and “Jya” are more literal.

So when we try to decipher the romanization, we get:

But this doesn’t look anything like “Trial for Reason”. We’re going to do like we did for  かわいい and check the Japanese. I used a physical book for this part so I can’t point you to the site I used (I’m more comfortable looking up kanji in my books), but there are probably ways to follow along online.

 理想 is a play on words.  理 by itself means “reason, justice, truth, principle” but when you add the second character, it becomes “ideal”. And after all, “reason” is Artorius’ “ideal” (and by extension, pre-game Eleanor’s). “Ideal” in our cipher is “E(_)UAM”, so this is likely our “ejamu” at the end of the name. 

試練  is shiren: trial or ordeal. Trial is (s)WEAM, but Ordeal is IW(_)UAM, and if D is a J sound like the previous paragraph implies, we get IWJUAM, which could be  イジューム  in Japanese pronunciation.

But we still have the middle. “(word #1)  のための (word #2)” means “(word #2) for the benefit of (word #1)”. We don’t have enough letters left in the true name to literally be “for the benefit of”, but in English, “for” is usually good enough in this context. All this does is support our word order: trial for reason / ordeal for ideal / ijum hai ri ejam.

So to figure out the middle, we’ll look at the Japanese pronunciation of the true name again.  ハ can be transcribed “ha” or “fa”.  リ can be transcribed “ri” or “li”. Plus, an “i” in romanized Japanese could be an i or a y in English. This gives us the following possible romanizations:

The first part doesn’t mean much no matter what we do, not with H=K being uncertain and F being an unknown. But the second word has something. LY could be “MY” which is a word in English. It’s not in the Japanese, but “my ideal” instead of just “ideal” doesn’t contradict anything either.

But we’re still down a word. Let’s switch back to English and see if that gives us a hint. “For” in the Ancient Tongue (such as we have so far) is (_)IW. But the “iw” combination doesn’t exist in Japanese. They’d have to approximate. So we’re not going to get a direct English->cipher->pronunciation. The “iw” = “ai” is not outside the realm of possibilities because let’s face it, that’s a funky letter combination. “iw” = “iu” would be more logical, but that’s still really hard to say, especially with a  リ following it.

I’m going to take a leap here. F=F, so English “for” equals Ancient Tongue “fiw” which is pronounced “fai” in Japanese because damn are those some strange sounds to be putting together. And thus our cipher key becomes:

Which makes Bienfu’s pact name with Eleanor literally mean “Ordeal For My Ideal”. An apt description, actually.

Tune in next time as Number One and Two reinforce our findings, Innominat screws up the work we just did, and if we have space/time, we take more leaps of faith with Morgrim!
