For the terrible teens Isaak and Jeannemary taken from us entirely too soon, Ulysses and Titania, the first miracles of the Resurrection, and every Fourth teenager that met their untimely end fighting a war that wasn't theirs to begin with.

Hello my Tumblr Peeps😁 There's this fanfic idea I have been thinking about pertaining Shidou Ryusei for a while and it's gonna involve smut obviously, however those who would like for me to see this part come to play, this smut fanfic will exclusive to readers of any (and all) genders, those who are his fans, and who enjoy smut, and the most obvious 1 (due to the smut genre) +18☠️⚽

*This fanfic contains pronoun(s) in 1 or more paragraphs😅

☠️⚽Unexpectedly Alone In The Locker With Shidou Ryusei⚽☠️(Shidou Ryusei x Any Gender Reader)

Genres: Smut (in the locker room) and Enemies To Lovers(?) (Warning +18⚠️: Oral (character receiving), Deep Throating, Cum Eating, Language, Hair Gripping)

You never got along with Shidou Ryusei for a good reason. Eversince a close friend of yours told you that someone named Shidou Ryusei, the guy with blonde hair (with pink tips at the ends (more pink on the bangs)) saw him holding his note before your friend mentioned the Ryusei threatened your friend a career ending injury, if (male friend name) was to ever come to the Blue Lock program, you're already fueled with hatred for Ryusei and you even decided to get at Ryusei as much as possible, despite of not meeting him yet. You even offered to take your friends place in the Blue Lock program, which your friend was hesitant at first, for some reason, then agreed to let you take his place.

Before you went inside the Blue Lock program, you madesure to change your appearance, just enough to look the part and not get yourself kicked cked out of the Blue Lock program, just incase if a reason was found for you to not be able to be in the Blue Lock program. In the matter of months, you've became one of the best football (which some people call soccer) players in the Blue Lock program. There was just the catch...

You ended up being assigned in the team called PXG (aka, Paris X Gen), which you unfortunately became a teammate of non other than, Shidou Ryusei. Upon meeting Shidou, he went up to you and cooed, "Hey! Welcome to the team! The name's, Shidou Ryusei! I heard you became one of the top players in the Blue Lock program in recent months! I sure hope you can live up to your reputation, because I think we'll get along great! You must be (the friend's name that you went by)... Or is that the name you go by...", which you started to get nervous and thought you would get in trouble, until he smiled, as he continued, "Don't worry, friend... I won't tell anyone that you go by that name... I'm sure there are reasons for that, especially if you're not keen on your birth name for whatever reason...", which made you sigh with relief. You're glad you can still find ways to get at him.

Ryusei then started to say stuff about your close friend, as he explained, "There was this one kid I went to school with that I had to keep in line... I've seen this note for the Blue Lock program, then he seemed to happily brag about going there to be the best striker! Damn he was annoying! Not just that... There's other personal reasons why! That fucker had it coming! He just got on my nerves! I will talk more about it some other time! I'm just glad you came in the program instead of him! You never talked like him!", before heading to the PXG locker room. So it seems like lucky for you, Ryusei didn't caught on to your friends' full name, if any of of your friend's name.

Just the thoughts of what Ryusei said made you more furious, however you knew you had to keep your composure. After you can't let him know that you're using your friend's name. You rather focus on getting your revenge on Shidou Ryusei, because you felt nothing he says will change your mind about him.

As time went by, you decide to take Ryusei's food (most of the time his favorite food yukhoe) out of his locker and eat it up, while putting other types of food in his locker, considering you're usually, the last person who enters the locker room and the last to leave the locker room (up to reader's imagination on who the reader managed to be able to take Shidou's food out of his locker before the reader puts other kinds of food in his locker). Food would fall out of his locker everytime he opens his locker up to try to find his food, after you do this to him and you haven't got caught... Yet... One day, after you scored the last goal of the football (which some people call soccer), Shidou knew you're the new person he would want to play soccer with forever, however you did decline to go inside the locker room with him and even though he's skeptical about going inside the locker room without you, he was cool about it and went inside the locker room without you.

You waited, as long as you usually do before you went inside the PXG locker room. You then decided to open both your locker and Ryusei's locker very quickly, as you then took his lunch out and take the bean sprouts out of your locker. While putting the whole bag of bean sprouts in his locker you heard a voice growling, "As funny, as you think you are, I don't like bean sprouts!", which made you very frightened.

As you turned to look, you've noticed Shidou Ryusei, with a smirk on his face as he said, "I knew something was up with you, but I should have known you were taking my food, while putting the other food inside of my locker... It was a little amusing... I just don't like my food being stolen and traded with other food you know... You're very naughty! You know that?! Now tell me your real name, (prince/princess)!". You gulped, as you became unsure what to do, as you began to notice his hard on be, as he exclaimed, "Do you realize you've been making me hard, everytime and every second I even seen your face or even a glance of you! Then, from how I noticed the way you've been playing, scoring goals, and finding out you're the one who's been fucken pranking me, my aching cock couldn't take it anymore! I knew something was suspicious about you, by the way! I knew (the friend's name that you went by) isn't your name! I get it now! That person I was telling you about, you must have been close friends with! It makes, so much sense now!". Once you realized he's on to you atleast about you using your close friend's name, you began to have fear of Ryusei getting you in huge trouble, getting you kicked out of the PXG, being banned from playing football (which some people call soccer), and possibly end up having some jail time.

"No worries! I won't tell on you! So, I might tell you what really happened to your "so called", close friend and I, since you only heard his side of the story...", Ryusei assured before he continued, "But there's a catch! I would like to see, if how well your mouth can handle my cock! While I'm not forcing you to do so by any means... You just would never hear my side of the story, if you decide not to enjoy my cock... It's clearly up to you... I can easily tell that you think I'm hot! I felt the same way about you! By the way I will let you make the choice, if you want to make the decision or not! Nothing is stopping you right now! What choice will you make gorgeous?". You really hated to say it, however he's right about you and you know you wanted to suck on his cock just from seeing his hard on... While you want to pretend not to want his cock and decline the offer, however you agreed to sucking on his cock, so you can hear his side of the story to see, if it doesn't add up.

Shidou smiled, as he pulled his dick out of his pants, as he cheered, "I didn't think you would take my offer! I hope you won't regret this! By the way, before I let you have my cock, would you like to tell me your name?". You walked closer to him, proceeding to get on your knees as you answered, "My name's actually, (Any Gender Reader Name)...", then continued, "I was also hoping you won't regret this, as well...", before you started sucking on his hard dick. While you did felt a little guilt with giving your heart to an enemy of your close friend, however you knew you wanted him, and you know that there's more to Ryusei than his his looks and his dick.

While Ryusei knew he would get his enjoyment out of you sucking on his hard dick, he's surprised you're even willing to deep throat his cock, as he groaned, "I'm glad you're taking my cock well... Fuck! I just didn't think you would take it this far, my monarch... Fuck!", before having his hand moved to your head, as he will pet your head, then starts gripping your hair. For some reason he knew he wasn't going to regret you sucking on his cock and you're definitely not regretting taking care of him either. The way you're drooling on his cock while you're deep throating, it was definitely an amazing experience for the both of you.

As you continued to deep throat his dick, Ryusei praised, "You did so amazing with sucking on my cock, (handsome/beautiful)! Keep this up, I might cum inside of your mouth and your throat! What an explosion that would be, if I was to cum, right now!", in a moaning sensation from feeling drunk from you having his cock deep inside of his throat. Minutes later he actually did end up emptying his cum inside of your throat, then your mouth, as he was slowly pulling his freshly satisfied cock out of your mouth, eventually having the tip of his dick touching your bottom lip.

Once Ryusei put his cock back in, you snuggled with him on the bench. "Hey Shidou... Could I get your side of the story of what really happened between you and (friend name)? I really wanted to see, if anything adds up... And you seem nicer to me, than you are him, if I'm honest about it...", you mentioned, as you ended up reminding him. He replied, "Ofcourse I will, hun... Thanks for reminding me... Anyways what happened was, I saw this guy reading a note that was actually for you and he decided to use white out and was about to forge his name! He even seemingly bragged that he's going to be the best striker in the entire universe and claimed that you won't make it with any career! When he mentioned you're name I fucken flipped! I fucken told him, if I ever found out he's in the Blue Lock program no matter which team he was on, I will make him wish he never white out your name nor ever think of forging his name in it! I also knew you looked familiar, too. You're so good at the sports you were doing and I think he was either jealous of you for how amazing you did or worried about me taking you away from him for how bad he wanted you all to himself!"

After hearing what Ryusei had to say you began to realize why this "close friend" of yours isn't really your friend after all, as you began to feel bad for taking his food out of his locker while putting other kinds of food in his locker and deciding to get revenge on him not knowing his side of the story. "Hey, Ryusei... I'm sorry for what I have been doing to you... I should have asked you for your side of the story before I tried getting revenge on you, especially pertaining stealing food from your locker and putting other food in your locker... Even if it was a prank... I should have known why he was hesitant in letting go to the Blue Lock program now...", you apologized. "No need to apologize, babe... I would have understood even if you wouldn't have apologized... Besides, you don't seem as malice as you think you are... This "friend" of yours on the other hand... You should be more careful... Appearances can be deceiving and there's a reason why he was withholding information from you...", he replied before giving your forehead kisses.

Ryusei then continued, "By the way... What you were stealing wasn't my lunch... What you took out was just bait to see who was playing lunch trade with me... Look deeper inside my locker and you'll see my lunch I was going to actually share with you with a special note, before this amazing and crazy adventure in the locker room...". You then got off the bench and did what he was told, as you noticed a clear bento box with the lunch he was going to share with you, with a note on it. You then started reading the note, as you began reading what he wrote, as the note said...

"My Dear Monarch,

Thanks for showing off your moves during our games together and I can see why you were one of the best ones in Blue Lock program! You've impressed me with your explosions every game! I think you're cool! Your explosions made me want to play with you, as a striker more than I do with anyone else now! You look familiar, btw. Anyways I really liked you alot! So, if you want, we could possibly go out on a date sometime. If not we could be just friends, too! Could I also have your cellphone number or possibly the names of any social media accounts that you might have?

Sincerely, your teammate,

Shidou Ryusei"

You were surprised about everything Ryusei has written in that note of his, as you admitted, "Well, Shidou... Since I was willing to suck on your cock until your empty... I'm glad we ended up doing this before you letted me know about the note... Infact I'm actually glad you told me the truth what really happened between you and the not so close friend... So a date it is and I will exchange numbers and see about exchanging social media names with eachother then...", as you smiled at him. He was so surprised from how you answered him, he was really happy about it and he really thanked you for everything that happened with him today. If he's being more honest, he actually enjoyed your company before he had ever got to meet you. This is how excited he has became.

⚽☠️The End☠️⚽

I do hope you enjoyed this smut fanfic with, Shidou Ryusei in it☠️⚽😁👍I do apologize, if there's any grammar issues and also for not doing as much smut stuff, as I usually do, since with the smut part I figured this is 1 of the smut fanfics that will unusually be for any gender reader, as I mentioned in the intro part of this fanfic, so I'm new with writing smut that is for any and all genders😅I still hope this would be fine with just what I did with the smut parts of this fanfic😃👍I also wanted to write something similar as I did about Ryusei for a long time and I'm really excited to write this fanfic about him😁👍While there are things I did with this fanfic that are last minute, I decided to a few different things with this fanfic and I hope I got creative enough to be able to say so, especially the note part of this fanfic😅☠️⚽😎👍As for the monarch nickname, I just have my reasons to write that part😃👍I really had fun writing this fanfic about Ryusei and I was super excited to write it☠️⚽😁👍

I feel, deep in my bones, that one could summon fae!Felix by repeating that bit he does in Topline thrice over in a mirror: BOM DIGI DIGI BOM BOM BOM BOM and maybe it works faster if you try to 'go deep' with it... or maybe this is just stuck in my head in an audio stim kind of way and I live in the land of delulu

A Guide to Summoning Your Faelix: AKA Faerie Felix / the most sweetest thing in the world.

FAE FELIX?

Ok!

SO let's do this!

First, we'll need to set the mood. Obviously, we're gonna need blue. It is his favorite color. Even though poor baby was recently heartbroken because the color analyst told him that blue doesn't work for him. Even though OBVIOUSLY that is incorrect! He is gorgeous in blue. Precious baby. How dare they? Unacceptable.

So, I just feel like it's absolutely NECESSARY that we include blue for the baby chick. Fuck them color swatches.

NEXT! Brownies as an offering. Non negotiable. Here is his recipe. Enjoy. They are fantastic.

Third.... we must call on the spirit of Bang Chan for he can always find his Lixie. Plus, he's our resident source of Lixie information. If he doesn't know, he'll figure it out for us. Bang Chan for President.

Now, it's time to get down to business. This is very serious. Set the lights. Turn on the music. Look in the mirror and say it.

Put all the bass you got in your voice and ..... POOF!

Congratulations! You have completed your very first summoning.

Now, let's discuss care for your Fae Felix.

First and foremost, he is going to require lots of love and affection. If you do not feel as if you can provide adequate love and affection for your Faelix then please reconsider.

If your Faelix does not receive adequate time, care and affection then he will cry. And subsequently, I will come to beat your ass.

BECAUSE HOW DARE YOU! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! DON"T YOU DARE MAKE THIS BABY SUNSHINE CHICKEN CRY! THIS MEANS WAR!

And! I'm telling Minho! And he'll help me whoop ass. So be prepared and think about that when moving forward with your Faelix.

Minho is watching...

Always watching.

Perhaps, a Hyunjinnie would be more suitable for you or perhaps a Minho. They still require love and affection but they do understand that everyone needs alone time.

Though, if you do choose to summon Minho... god help you.

If you have an aversion to copious amounts of physical displays of love and affection, PLEASE AND I AM BEGGING YOU... do NOT summon yourself a Changbinnie. He WILL be giving you his love and you WILL like it.

Fair warning.

But back to Faelix.

Now, please remember that your Faelix can handle some spice but not exceedingly so.

Be mindful of his dietary needs.

If not he'll scream.

On that note, you are going to need to stock up on rice cakes. Trust me. And probably fried chicken. Just do it.

It is also important to note that your Faelix is also sensitive to scary things so he's not likely to be a horror movie buddy for you. If you really, really, REALLY want him to... he'll do it to make you happy. However, he will basically turn your room into a nest at night and cover you with cuddles all night long... because he's scared to death. Poor Lixie. You will have a much better experience if you pick a comedy or action. He'll still cuddle you (if you want it) but it won't be out of fear. And nobody wants a scared Lix. He deserves to be happy.

Also, on this note of Fae Felix. Just so you know, you're not supposed to give fairies your name. No matter how much they beg.

However, Felix is literally the one that you could tell anything and he wouldn't use it against you. You're secret is safe with him. As is your soul.

Now, in summary : It's all important but here are your TOP 3 to remember!

Number One: Please provide adequate love, affection and care for your Faelix.

Number Two: Please mind his dietary needs and plan accordingly. Give him whatever he wants. Or else he is going to become insane.

Number Three: The Final and Most Important Rule of All

Remember that Minho is watching... always watching.

He sees all.

He knows all.

I know, You know, We know, Lee Know

Thank you for coming to my presentation and have a nice day.

Please help yourself to a treat on your way out. We're serving brownies. Obviously.

..............

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this crazy tangent of mine and thank you so much for sending it in!

Love, K

DAY TWO OF THE TWELVE DAYS OF VENUS CHALLENGE ; weren't they together?

They were! I've brought back some of the most iconic and classic Venus ships for the 12 Days of Venus Challange! For the full day, you can interact with these couples, send them questions, request drabbles, make fun of them, whatever you want! It's all for fun! Here's to five years!

SHIP NAME: YOOCHAN THE SHIPPED: JUNG YOONAH x BANG CHAN CANONICALLY TOGETHER FOR: 4 YEARS

"I'm Baebi AKA Jung Yoonah the leader of Venus." "That's a new title," Chan teases, making Yoonah smile. "In this timeline, I'm the leader and Aki was never in the group," Yoonah explains to him, catching him up on their lore. Chan raises his brows in shock at the development but nods. He saw that coming now that he thinks about it. He lifts a hand to the camera, giving it a small wave. "And I'm Bang Chan." "And we're back together for the 12 days of Venus challenge!" The pair attempt to say in unison but Yoonah is too busy giggling to get in sync with Chan. He beams at her, trying to hold his laughter back but giggles manage to escape his lips as Yoonah covers her mouth. "We'll be here all day to answer all your questions, talk about our relationship, and maybe have a drabble or two written for us," Yoonah tells you in her best idol voice. Chan nods along with her words before he starts to speak. "Just address your ask to us and we'll answer it! It's that simple." Yoonah nods, giving a thumbs up before quickly hitting Chan's bicep when an idea hits her, sitting on her knees with an excited smile as she makes one half of a heart. Chan chuckles at her excitement but finishes her heart, starting to laugh as Yoonah waves excitedly to the camera. "Happy almost 5 years!"

SHIP NAME: JARK THE SHIPPED: KANG JIAH x MARK LEE CANONICALLY TOGETHER FOR: 10 MONTHS

"What's up I'm Jiah." "I'm Mark." He throws up a peace sign when he says his name. Jiah can't stop herself from side eyeing that little action, curling her lips in to stop herself from laughing at him already. "And we are..." Both of them trail off, avoiding eye contact but not out of malice because they both know they'll start laughing if they look at each other. Jiah clears her throat, shaking her head as she slowly raises her hand to cover her eyes. Mark turns his head away from her, a few chuckles leaving his lips he tries to pass off as laughs. "Our ship name is so stupid," Jiah finally says, making Mark burst into loud laughter that has her cracking up as well, her signautre booming cackle filling the room. Both of them are bent over, Jiah leaning into him as Mark bumps his head against her's, making Jiah squeal cutely. With a swift cut, Mark and Jiah are sitting next to each other, fighting back giggles still. "And we're Jark-Fuck-" Jiah covers her mouth when she starts laughing again. Mark starts laughing again as well. "We're here...Man, we're here and we're Jark." Mark laughs at his own bit, looking at Jiah for approval as he laughs. Jiah hits his arm through her laughter, head falling back in amusement. Another cut occurs and the pair finally look put together, Jiah tilting her head with a smile. "And we're going to answer all your burning questions for the 12 days of Venus." "So, send them in! Keep us entertained!" Jiah nods at Mark's words, giving a finger heart.

SHIP NAME: JOHLOE THE SHIPPED: CHLOE LEE x JOHNNY SUH CANONICALLY TOGETHER FOR: 6 YEARS

Chloe and Johnny sit in silence for a few beats before Chloe clears her throat, looking around with her eyes only before looking back at the camera. "Hello everyone, I'm Chloe Lee. Venus' main star and the only sane girlfriend Johnny has ever had." Johnny blinks at Chloe's intro, knitting his brows in slight confusion before grunting. "This is not true but I'm Johnny. The most infamous Venus boyfriend to date." Chloe makes a sound, shaking her head as her lips form a thin line, putting her hand on his arm. "It's only gotten worse since we last saw you...Wayyy worse," Chloe informs him, causing Johnny to give her a look of concern before looking at the camera then back at her. Chloe turns back to the camera with her best idol smile before their eyes can meet again. "We shared a lot of memories together and would love to relive them with you for the 12 days of Venus," Chloe says to the camera. Johnny takes a deep breath through his nose with a nod, giving a professional smile. "We'll be here all day to answer your questions." "Because we know have them!" Chloe wags her finger at the camera, causing a soft laugh to leave Johnny's lips. Chloe looks at him with a kind smile, putting her hand up in a heart shape. Johnny doesn't hesitate to finish the heart, giving Chloe a warm smile and gaze as she smiles at the camera. "Talk to you soon!"

[harmonypunkrock]

One thing I haven't talked about here is how the Harmonies have animal partners that turn into giant cyborg Beasts. They call them Beasts of Peace or BOPs for short. The antagonists also have Beasts, known as Beasts of Burden or BOBs. So yes, this comic will have kaiju fights. I'm going to keep the other Beasts a secret until the comic comes out (we'll be making an announcement as to when later this year), but I'll share art and stuff of Punk Rock's Beast, Hahana aka Leaf Nose! She's a Honduran white bat and when transformed she gets sparkly laser wings.

[thursdaygrl]

i'm eager to get some more things going, so here's a muse specific wishlist of plots. i'll be crossing anything out that i don't wanna double up, just like and i'll come to plot with you!

aurelio — arranged marriage, possibly with the families being in the mafia for the drama of it. / normal people plot.

beatrice — dark academia gay obsession PLEASE, bonus for lili fcs but not necessary at all

crash — angsty opposites attract with someone far too good for him / vampire rockstar verse pls i need it badly, preferably against a human but i'd also take a witch.

cricket — rivals or enemies to lovers / the sneaky journalist being played by someone who is secretly writing a story about her/her family while getting close to her and the fallout of what happens when she finds out.

dawson — figure skater/hockey player im BEGGING you. / accidental pregnancy also.

ford — i have a starter up for this somewhere but i really would like to write him saving a muse from a serial killer/slasher and the two of them healing each other over time. also lowkey want an age gap he protests to cause lol.

grayson — best friend's girl cause i'm a sucker for it. he doesn't treat her right and he's sick of it. lots of drama ensues, preferably.

james — best friends to lovers, specifically with an unlikely friendship so preferably someone a lot girlier/soft.

letha — a little nathan/haley inspired thing, pls.

luther — weird strangers meeting on the road and there's a sudden spark, would absolutely prefer if she was a little crazy cause he'd be into that. could be just intense or a murder, we don't mind. / two members of a band that both write songs and clash cause the chemistry is off the charts, pls.

maren — college campus murder mystery solving aka one of my favourite genres. alternatively, college campus slasher.

moira — a journalist or detective she comes across working the same case in a small town, they clash and also probably bang cause that's fun.

river — something jess and rory inspired cause i'm a sucker for that and i want river against someone bookish and cute.

rory — i really want a girl who thinks she's straight to discover otherwise through rory mostly bc i think it'll be funny. rory will not be trying to romance her at first and she'll do a poor job of it but we'll get there.

sosie — i'd like to play her against someone who works for or with her father, e.g. campaign advisor, fellow politician, bodyguard etc, ya girl loves something forbidden. / cappie and rebecca from greek inspired.

six — sleeping with her boss's girl, 'nuff said / would love to play this little criminal against a successful woman, maybe a lawyer or something who she gets to dominate and help relax.

sully — roommates who cannot stand each other but… :) very much jess and nick from new girl inspired pls.

Ask game ask game <3

🪓If you could design a first trial, what would you do?

💭What is your favorite yttd AU idea?

🏆Who do you think the ultimate survivors will be?

🪓 If I could design a first trial, huh? Man... I've been asking myself this, actually, because of my Mr Beast AU (I'm just calling it that, it doesn't have anything to do with Mr Beast) and I uh, haven't had any good, concrete ideas yet. My most interesting one is thematically potent for the characters I put in it. Ironically it's also the least clear. It's in my notes as "something to do with the moon" so. I guess the only one I've actually thought out is the mirror room puzzle. It's pretty much the one Sara did before the first game, but with communication issues this time! One contestant is in each room, and they have to talk with each other to make the rooms mirror each other, before the time runs out. Normal stuff. I've also got a character in just. A normal escape room. So that's fun.

💭 Which AU is my favorite? You're killing me here, my god. So. Obviously there's my survivors AU, the one I've made a few sketch comics for. Both Sara and Shin survive, they can't get rid of each other, they become friends on accident, etc. etc. Ryoko is there. I might be bringing Midori back for that one too but ehhh idk. The stuff I've written for that is interesting but it's straying too far into whump territory for this AU. It's a cool way to fuck with their character arcs though.

There's also my two new silly AUs, YTTD Hoodwinked AU and YTTD Nerdy Prudes Must Die AU. They're pretty fun. I don't think they're my favorites though. Oh and Ranpo in the Death Game AU but I haven't touched that one for a while. Not since the yaoi.

And then there's the other big contender. The Mr Beast AU. AKA I put 100 fictional characters in the Your Turn to Die death game (said in the mr beast intro voice)! Oh man. What a whopper. And I have lore reasons for it too. Now picture this: The death game is over. Sara wins. She goes on with her life, distraught for a while, but then only numb. When the time comes, she takes over ASU-NARO. With her at the helm, research pivots from recreating people artificially to regaining them for real. Flesh and blood. That's right baby, they're playing 5D chess with multiversal time travel, and they're about to find out what happens when that shit goes wrong. Meanwhile, in 14 other worlds, shit goes haywire there too. The cast of YTTD wakes up in their old bodies, from the start of the death game, with all their memories intact. And a hundred newcomers awaken too.

Mm... I think the mr beast AU is more interesting to me currently, just because I loooove crossover AUs and banging my toys together like rocks. I put all my favorite niche media in there. We've got My Student Spirit, we've got Rhyme and Reason, we've got Ghost Junk Sickness, we've got 7Seeds. I even have The Neverending Story! We've got extra scientists, we've got actual robots, we have a cat with a job, there's a man who is literally a ghost and another who can talk to ghosts and they are both the nicest (lyinggg the ghost is an asshole. Just like me fr). And freaking out at the center of it all is our good old primary cast, trying to survive all over again.

I'm having fun with it. Tsukasa Tenma is dead. Herlock Sholmes is dead. Dima PAFL is dead and Dr. Temnova doesn't know yet. Olezha has a real body again but he can't go tell his roommate because his roommate is in the death game and they can't have people moving willy-nilly from the administrative side to the game side, now can they? Emu Ootori has blood on her hands. So does Kotaro Mita. Man I love this AU. I have to make something other than a spreadsheet for it.

🏆 Who do I think will win? Sara, obviously. I don't think there's any way that she doesn't. I don't think Keiji will, or Shin. If she does get to take someone with her, I think it'll be Gin in the logic route. I also think that maybe we'll get a choice in the emotion route. To save either Kanna or Gin. Which kid gets to live. Kinda fucked! But what about this game isn't lmao. Regardless, I'm excited to see what happens.

Stethoscopes & Triangles - Chapter One ❤️‍🩹

Sam Winchester x Reader (Aka - Amy Summers)

A/N: Heya bugsie 🐞, here is another fanfic, about Sam & Dean, was requested by a beautiful anon 💕 (I hope you like it darling)

Side Note: Thank You Bugsies for the love and support, I'm open to take more requests, as writing is one of my favourite things to do

Warnings: Death, Swearing, Angst, Hospital Scenes, Fluff

Code Blue!!! Code Blue!!!!

"Dammit!!! The kid keeps coding, come on buddy, pull through for me" she whispers while standing over him, giving him chest compressions.

"Doctor Summers, its no use, its been more than 15 minutes, he's gone!" The male nurse exclaims.

Her eyes throwing darts, "Dammit Jeremy! The kid is only five, we owe him, we have to try just once more."

Shaking his head in disbelief, agitated he says, "fine do what you want!"

The sweat on her forehead is visible, determination evident, "1...2...." Counting the chest compressions underneath her breath.

Standing back, while they place the defibrillator once again! Seeing the little boy's body jolting up and then down towards the bed again, is just one to much.

"Stop! Just stop it! He's gone, there's nothing we can do now!" Her voice stern and emotionless.

Calling the time, while removing her cloves, and letting it fall to the ground, walking out of the emergency room! Walking towards the parents, ''Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, I'm so sorry but unfortunately your son didn't make it'' her voice disinterested. Walking away till the sobbing off the parents becomes more, and more distant.

''Dr. Summers is truly a very cold person, don't you think Judy?'' his voice bitter.

Scornful she replies ''Jeremy, we are not suppose to talk about other people that way, especially not Dr. Summers, she is absolutely amazing at her work'' 

''Just because she's great doesn't mean she needs to be such a jerk'' he mumbled bitterly.

🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞

Staring at herself in the bathroom mirror, her bangs  still clinging to her sweaty face, her ocean blue eyes now, a distant grey, looking tired, trying to fight back the tears, cursing herself mentally for failing the little boy, recalling the crushed look on his parents face. Biting her tongue, the taste of blood, awakening her senses. Cupping her hands, bringing some water to her mouth, swooshing it around, then spitting the slightly red-pinkish water into the basin. ''Man Up Amy! Stop being a failure, you're such a disappointment to me'' hearing her father's gravelling voice in her head. 

Hearing the chatter of nurses coming closer, locking herself in one of the bathroom stalls, their voices fruity, but hushed ''That Dr. Summers is real something, she's so cold, how that hot hunky boyfriend can actually love her, blows my mind'' 

''Tell me about it Claire, what he sees in her, I have no idea, yes she has beautiful long black hair, and those blue eyes, and quite a fit physique as well, but her personality is so cold and distant.''

''Oooh I'll take that gorgeous looking man any day'' 

''Oh yeah, we'll be a better fit anyway, our personalities is warm and friendly, not like hers.''

''They don't call her doctor cold for nothing'' laughing as they walk away.

    Tears staining her velvety cheeks. ''Get yourself together Dr. Cold'' mocking herself. Unlocking the door, walking to the basin to wash her face. Dabbing the paper towel over her face, her mouth curved into a smile, revealing the dimples, Sam, amazingly handsome Sam, he always had a way of making her knees weak, ever since they met in college, they disliked each other at first, her nature hard and cold, and his soft, empathetic and so gentle, they'll clash about every little thing. They lived opposite from each other, but it changed one night, getting a 'D' in chemistry, and freaking out about it, she sat on the stairs at three in the morning, knowing her father is most probably going to kill her, she felt a big gentle hand on her shoulder, his smoky voice, full of empathy, ''whatever it is, its going to be okay.''

The two of them sat till the sun came up, shared stories about their father's and how if affected them. He asked her out two days after that, revealing he had felt this way for the longest time, and they've been going strong for a little over seven years. Moving in together was the next logical step after college, building a life together while she was busy with her residency and Sam serving articles for his clerkship, didn't come without challenges, but they made it, both of them have their dream jobs, and their good at what they do, even if it interferes with their social lives and especially their relationship, but their still holding on and going strong. The pager alerting her, there's yet another emergency, breaks her thoughts. Tossing the paper towel in the dustbin, she runs off to the ER.

🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞🐞°•🐞°•🐞°•🐞

Unlocking the door with its detailed appearance, he walks in. Peeking in to the kitchen, then to  the living room, shaking his head at the sight of her sneakers laying upside down at the armchair. ''Babe, were are you at?'' hearing her mumbling something that's she's in the bathtub. Peeping inside, the bathroom smells like lavender, the fragmented candles reflecting the glow on her fair skin, her long hair, tied up in a messy bun, her body drenched under the hot water and the white soapy bubbles, creeping up to her collar bone. ''Damn your beautiful'' his voice smoky and slight breathy.

''Hey babe, thank you, I missed you today!'' her voice tired. 

Knowing her like the back of his hand, ''Sweetie, hard day at work?''

Tilting her head towards Sam, revealing her greyish blue orbs. ''I lost a five year old boy today, due to a damn drunken driver.'' her voice heavy with emotion.

Concerned look on his face, his brows furrowed, ''Love I'm so sorry'' walking closer, landing a kiss on the crown of her head. Placing himself down on the floor next to the bathtub, taking her hand, stroking her lean fingers. His voice low, ''What can I do?'' 

''There's nothing you can do, babe, you being here is enough'' revealing the pain in her voice.

Looking up at her, stroking the tears off her dewy cheeks, knowing, that she's a strong women, but not really the cold person, she makes out to be. He whispers,  ''I'm here for you baby'' while kissing her softly. 

''Thank you love, I don't know what I will do without you.'' replying breathy.

A corner of his mouth lifted, ''Probably pass out due to hunger'' trying to lighten the mood, he suggests he'll make some dinner, while she relaxes a little more, and when she's ready, then the the food will be plated, and they'll binge, one of those home renovation shows she likes so much. 

''Sounds perfect thanks babe'' a soft giggle escapes her full lips.

Giving her a small kiss he walks towards the kitchen, wondering if she knows how much he loves and adores her, no one get's him like she does, that's probably why he is planning to ask the big question, once he's done working this big case.

Chapter Two Here :)

[imogenlefay]

So, I read this book... Daisy Jones & The Six

so, i've been thinking about doing a thing, and maybe someone finds it interesting, or maybe it's just for me to order my thoughts and i'll get bored to it before march, but we'll see. basically, for the last two years i've been keeping track of the books i read (or audiobooks i listen to) bc i felt like i'm not reading enough (except for fanfiction). and while i'm far behind people who actually read a lot, and woefully behind how much i used to read when i was a teen, i'm actually pretty happy with the progress. made it to 34 in 2022 and 40 in 2023, and hope to get more done this year. 2024 is starting off strong, just finished my first book of the year, and usually when i do that, i have thoughts. so what's the point of blogs if not to put that out there, so it stops haunting my head? or maybe even get someone else's thoughts on things? so i decided to blog about the books i read (unless i forget or don't feel like it), starting with general feelings and then going into spoilery feelings. so, yeah, this is what this is going to be. let's go.

Summary: a look back on fictional rockband The Six rising to fame, where they meet It Girl Daisy Jones, leading to the collab of a century, until the band breaks apart after one show in Chicago. Told completely in interview snippets.

General Feelings: say what you want, it's a fast read, and it's fun. the style of writing with everything being interview snippets, aka the band members' and friends' memories, works really well, especially the parts where one person remembers things, and the next person directly contradicting their memory. it's a quick way to give you everyone's point of view, and sowing the seeds of miscommunication and conflict. the story is easy to follow, and it's also easy to feel for most of the protagonists. the characters are likable enough, and their conflicts are mostly realistic. the final show in chicago and the general fall out unfortunately fall kind of flat for me. like... this is it? it's not much of a bang, tbh... which maybe sums up my feelings about the whole thing. it's a fun ride, but at the end, it's like "huh, guess that was it?" it is fun, but it's just not very deep, i guess. although the way they describe the songwriting process and the songs that result from it really was cool to read. another fun fact, i totally forgot there's a show until i googled the book cover. and since i was reading and caught myself wanting to check out the songs, only to remember they're not real... well, that might be enough motivation to check out the show. Recommendation: yes, i'm doing that before the actual feelings part cause i can't discuss those without spoilers. so, if anybody cares, rec first. Daisy Jones & the Six is a casual read. like, vacation book. for the beach, for train rides, for flights. it's fun to breeze through, but i doubt it'll really grip most people. so yeah, not a must read, but can be fun, light reading.

Spoilery feelings:

(consider yourself warned)

there are a few things that really didn't work for me.

i never really got into the whole daisy/billy thing. like, his instant antipathy, the weird rivalry, and then her oh so deep love for him, and at the end, him finally kinda sorta loving her but loving his wife more... maybe that's part of the format. both of them looking back at it from the future, where it's just not that present anymore. but it didn't ring that true.

my biggest problem was probably drug use and how it was handled. it just felt so trivial and meaningless. like sure, for both billy and daisy it's supposedly the central struggle, but it just fell so flat for me. i know part of that is that early december i read Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, which (in germany) is a famous non-fiction account describing the fall into heavy drug use of an extremely young girl (starting at 12, i think), and it's the bleakest thing i've ever read, with the girl herself describing how she fell into heavier and heavier drugs, paid for by prostitution. so it's dark, and it's heavy, and compared to that the drug use in Daisy Jones feels almost offensive in how little weight it has. the comparison is super unfair, i know, i'm primed and biased, sure. but after that, the book may say a million times "oh yeah, that was a bad time for daisy", but it just doesn't ring true.

i'm not sure if the identity of the interviewer is supposed to come off as a twist? like, sure, i didn't see it coming, but it didn't really have an impact, either.

lacking impact is probably my final point. while the book, especially with the format of the interviews, is really good at painting the conflicts within the group, i didn't feel like these paid off in a significant manner. like, eddie's whole growing resentment never went anywhere except being a red herring. the show in chicaco wasn't that special in the end, was it? nothing happened at the show himself. just, the band broke at many different places at once, but they barely impacted each other. billy's struggle with addiction toppling over, daisy having a breakdown and camila helping her through it, pete getting married, the karen/graham thing exploding... like, you could see them coming, but the resolution all at once felt kinda random. like, it didn't feel like there's this big bang setting off all the dominos (yeah, mixing metaphors, i know), but more like "oh yeah, that's all happening now, i guess". sure, there isn't always a big bang, but i feel like they teased one, and then there was nothing. so i guess the end feels a bit anticlimactic, like it just fizzled out.

it was still fun to read, but more like meaningless fun, i guess. definitely preferred "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", which was super fun. interesting writing style, but story is a bit shallow. okay, now i talked enough about a book i kinda sorta liked but wasn't super impressed by. anyone else thoughts about it? did you read it? did you watch the show? do you or did you have feelings about it? seriously would love to hear them!

It's toy time again and that means more toys because, well, what else could it possibly mean? And this week we have a fan favorite, from a love story so tragic, it's almost Shakespearian. The Pridderdanes and the Arlgums, family factions that have been warring for generations, only to be brought together and torn right back apart by young love, all happening against the backdrop of the planet Brougah- the Brougahians essentially being the Space Neanderthals of the Spacetime Sally universe.

Above we have a Spacetime Sally GlitchJett Pilot Fantastico! figure, a personal favorite of mine.

Yes, this is that fateful tale from the animated series; the 4 episode arc of Romberto & Goletta. ABOVE: Doctors Goletta Priddlerdane and Romberto Arlgum, young lovers from opposing families, wed in secret.

The Brougahians weren't the most interesting characters ever to appear on the show. Simple-minded, quick-to-anger cave-people of the stars. Two young people try to make the best of their lives and their families go ape-shit. Holy moly, how they loved them bowl cut bangs, though.

Below, we have Family Priddlerdane.

TOP: Goletta's parents, Lord and Lady Pridderdane.

MIDDLE: Goletta's grandparents, Fo'nook, The Wiseman, and Gerreta, the Healer, with her pissing-wherever-it-goes "guard" dog, Pierce Morgan (utter coincidence, that).

BOTTOM: Goletta's siblings: her brother, Duke Dane Priddlerdane (with the piece of the ancient Uggpraught Shield in hand); and her sister (and Sally's friend and colleague) Security Expert, Detta-Lou Priddlerdane, with light-up shock baton

And Family Arlgum: Romberto's father, General Commander Hemingway Arlgum; Romberto's mother, Arlenia Illiana Ilene Helena Grace; his brother, Eddie Bent Stick

Some Sallies! Top Left: Bush Pilot Down! Sally; Top Right: Metro Investigator Sally; Bottom Left: Gorlyann Rider Sally; Bottom Right: Long Haul Truckin' Sally aka Smugglin' Sally

And finally some robots! TOP LEFT: Arturo, a seaworthy NavalBot; TOP RIGHT: a SurveillanceBot

BOTTOM LEFT: GlitchJett Pitstop ServiceBot; BOTTOM RIGHT: one of these things is not like the others, and with a collection of severed toy heads behind him, it's a MurderBot, the robots designed and programmed to do nothing other than kill; give it a target, it'll kill it. (zoom in on this one, I swear those are robot testicles.)

Well, thanks for playing along, folks! Until next time, have a good time! We'll be back next week with more of your favorite Spacetime Sally action figures! And be sure to check out the Toys & Toons Archive for more great toys!

What if, at the end of the milk bucket game, a bulletproof glass pane comes down at the end of each losing teams corresponding number? Separating the players and keeping the losers from escaping.

(aka this is me giving a 'reason' as to why Hannah and Suzyroxx couldn't move from their pen and gave it my own flair. Spoilers for day 5 of squidcraft 2)

---------------

sc!Hannah being confused when she got back to her teams cow pen. Her going up to it and knocking her knuckles against it, it sounded pretty thick.

And due to it being thick, sound is a little muffled. She couldn't hear her fellow competeters completely but she still gave her ggs. Her and Suzy gave their thoughts on why they couldn't get the buckets acrossed as fast, those things were heavy as fuck. She still got one final laugh out after she asked Aldo and Roier to sing her a song, only for it be some free style rap.

She almost forgot her situation until Sapnap's voice yelled through the glass, clear as day.

"Hannah! Look at me, Hannah! Don't look back!"

Against her better judgement, she looked back. Her heart sank to her stomach once she saw the guard approaching her, assult rifle in hands.

Hannah lets out a cry as she curls up her fists, banging them against the glass. Maybe if she hits hard enough, it will crack. Give leway, something. Seems like Suzy noticed the guard too, as she was also punching against the glass.

But no matter what they did; punching, kicking, throwing their whole body weight against it, the glass didn't budge.

Hannah leaned her body against the glass, winded from using all her energy. This was it, her time was up. Dammit, she wanted to go to the finals, not lose just before it. Now she has to die with a barrier separating her from her friends (Were they still friends at this point?). Reaching over to her right, she grabs Suzy's sweaty hand in a tight grip. Just as strong, Suzy grips hers back.

At least she wont be totally alone.

Hearing a bang against the glass, Hannah looks up to see sc!Sapnap leaning his head against the glass right up against hers, so they were face to face. Sapnap placed his hand palm open on the glass next to his head, and Hannah lifted hers up to place it right over his. She holds back a sob as she does this.

"Look at your friends Hannah! Don't look back, look at your friends, ok?" Sapnap's voice was still clear through the glass. His voice was steady and calm, but it did nothing for her nerves.

Hannah's sobs got loud as she heard the rifle behind her being loaded before the first gunshots rang out. She felt Suzy's grip on her hand loosen as her body fell backward on the ground, the momentum of the fall causing their hands to separate. Blood splattered widely on the glass, but none of the bullets broke through or even cracked the glass. Bulletproof.

Sapnap's voice got more frantic as he saw the gun point towards Hannah, "Keep looking at your friends Hannah! We'll win this for you! You hear me, we'll win this for you!"

Hannah didn't get to respond as she felt the searing pain before she hear the gunshot. Her knees fell underneath her, and she fell down to her side. Her ears were ringing, but she could still hear her friends crying out for her and banging against the glass.

She couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as her last breath. Guess they were friends in the end.

Shadowheart with an elf reader whos prolly gonna outlive her (Well unless she gets a milf/dilf/gilf) :( Atleast we'll be able to see her in her milf years - Shadowheart anon

This can go two ways depending on elf!reader views on being an elf.

Corellon is the elf god, right? He really spoils his kids with all the fey gifts and even made the cycle of rebirth for them. Each and every single full elf is guaranteed to get reborn.

Drows don't count bc they belong to Lolth, aka his ex-wife. She hated him so much actually that he is the reason males are akin to slaves in drow culture.

So most elves end up really arrogant because they believe being elf is superior. They are eternal in some way. And they are raised on those beliefs.

If elf!reader also agrees, then they might try to get Shadowheart to become a full elf.

If you suck up to Corellon enough and become a follower of his church, he will get you reborn as an elf in your next lifetime and eternally join the cycle of rebirth.

After the whole shar fiasco, Shadowheart is a cleric without a god. So there's no better chance than now to introduce her to this banging brand new religion.

Also, this is the reason why elves are shamed by their elf peers when they marry or give kids to non elves. They were supposed to help complete the cycle of rebirth and not go and breed with the lesser races.

They're kicked out of the elf sanctuaries where they raise their children and told to go join the outside world society instead.

Bg3 surprisingly doesn't bring any of that up at all. Bg2 and bg1 did have race limitations in romance. For example, Viconia, a drow, would romance most races except full elves. I'm glad they got rid of the limitations, honestly, but at the same time, they completely ignored all the consequences that should've come so eh you win some and lose some.

Seeing Shadowheart die earlier would be the least of elf!reader concerns. They will essentially lose their entire being, family, friends and even their god's favour for Shadowheart.

Season 4, Episode 20: The Last Man

AKA we'll break your heart yet AGAIN.

Fourty-eight thousand years.

Man, this one hurt. (I know I say that about at least 50% of all episodes, but this one can't be reached by conventional pain medication. 10/10, ouch owie.)

Everything hurt. Seeing John alone in the city, seeing the hologram of old Rodney, watching everyone's sad endings that all occured because John wasn't there anymore. Sam, taking out three hive ships with her last breath. Ronon and Todd, going out with a bang like I knew they would. Poor Teyla and Jennifer. Lorne at the SGC, my MAN.

But can you imagine what that must have done to John, knowing the whole galaxy went to shit because he wasn't there? That everyone died horrible deaths, and Rodney died alone and lonely, because he wasn't there?

Rodney, working for TWENTY-FIVE FUCKING YEARS, after losing everyone, to save John and the City and the whole timeline by proxy. Teaching at a community college to make ends meet. Building a hologram that would wait for John long after the real Rodney was gone.

Seeing the City like that hurt. Seeing her light up for John even 48,000 years in the future, with less energy, less grace, but still trying.

And in the end, John stumbling - running - through the gate, back home, with a chance to set things right. With so much on his shoulders, but at least he got his people back.

Ooof. I need some fluffy fics. Where nothing bad happens. Ice cream on the pier, maybe a beach weekend on the mainland, board game night, some tlc for everyone. No bad things allowed. Everyone gets to sleep in, is hydrated, daily showers, good food, sunlight, fresh air, and NOBODY DIES. 😤

ULTRAVIOLET VISIONS: Mid August New Releases

Hello everyone! This week I've been going back and listening to some things I picked up during this month's Bandcamp Friday, as well as doing some digital crate-digging through the Vaporwave/Plunderphonic tags on Bandcamp. Let's get started with some of the new releases that have been in my rotation this week!

Starting off with the new Tabby release,"Macintosh Hell, this is one of the releases I picked up on Bandcamp Friday over at the Pause and Reflect Music label. This is actually my first release I've heard from Tabby and I have been pleasantly suprised. Macintosh Hell is 14 tracks of pure Vapor/Electronic vibes that fluctuate between upbeat and joyful tracks like the opener "Online", to heavier tracks like "Hacker". The vocal sampling is a core piece to this record and is something I instantly gravitated towards like in the track "Personalized Entertainment”. I love the heavy Electronics in tracks like "The Second Big Bang" where the synths creep in so beautifully, bringing you this larger than life soundscape that is so cinematic. The instrumentals of this record remind me of sounds you'd hear in something death's dynamic shroud's "Darklife" mixed with the terminally online lingo and presence of something like Death Grips "The Money Store" or JPEGMAFIA's "Veteran". Overall this album has been an extremely refreshing blend of my favorite Electronic sounds with some of my favorite Vaporwave tropes. With this record, Tabby has cemented themselves in my brain as an artist to keep a look out for in the future. Favorite songs: Online, Hacker, The Second Big Bang, Every Lie We Had.

"Someday We'll Find It" was a surprise collaboration announcement between the amazing Scarlett Lemieux and Serenade Systems Incorporated (aka Amanita), and released this Tuesday on First Class Collective! This album is a split release filled with 10 slushy Vaporwave tracks with 5 tracks by Scarlett and 5 tracks by Amanita. There is a common atmosphere of this "stage play" vibe where the collections of songs sound very large and grand, as well as having these sorta interludes between of sampled songs from the Muppets (something I would've never guessed to hear in a Vaporwave album lol). Scarlett and Amanita compliment each other beautifully and crafted this nostalgic mesh of ambient and slushwave where each song makes you reminisce childhood regardless of whether you recognize or relate to the sample material or not. Definitely a recommended listen as is a very unique blend of atmospheres for a Vaporwave release. Favorite tracks: Go Back There, Labyrinth Walk, A Call From A Child's Dimension

"Trois Mouvements" is the newest release from up and coming ambient vapor artist, Endless Corridors. I've been aware of this artist since their debut back in April last year over at Skyline Tapes. The album runs a little over 30 minutes and is split between 3 tracks, "I, II, and III". "I" starts off by building an incredible atmosphere with 13 minutes of smooth, ethereal pads that make you feel like you're gazing through skyscrapers in a city. As the song develops, the sounds start to crackle and deteriorate as we enter the track "II". "II" is a darker piece in comparison where we start off in a more simple somber note and then gradually progress into more harsh noises and textures. A little bit past the halfway mark is when things sound like they are coming to a climax as the track wails towards the end before entering "III". "III" ends the album off in such a beautiful way. The rain has fizzled out and we are left with extremely soft pads as this low key arpeggio comes in as if to welcome you and rewarding you for making it here. A flute melody comes in and is accompanied by these soft plucked pianos that make you feel so personally connected to the sounds being presented to you. An extremely gratifying ending with such a slow satisfying build up towards the end as we wind down and close off this beautiful sonic atmosphere. Favorite track: III

"MEMORIES保存する価値がある" is the latest release from classic vapor/mallsoft artist, 𝕄ꌦꌚ✞ỉር Ⓜᗩ爪𝕭ꋬ. Memories shows off Mystic Mamba's classic vapor style with their love and connection to the sample material. This record feels like a personal trip down Memory lane through this wide sonic atmosphere as we revisit songs from Mystic Mambas past. I think they gave such an accurate description to the emotions you may feel when listening in their description:

Sometimes, a special person enters your life. Someone with whom you share numerous wonderful experiences. Someone who you grow to love, as a friend, as extended family, as someone you could call a partner. And you feel like things are meant to last forever, but sometimes, that’s not how things turn out. The wonderful times come to an end, and while that may be sad, it does not mean that you should live with regret. Because those memories brought you happiness. The laughter, the smiles, the peace you shared, that’s what matters in the end. And those memories are worth saving…

I typically never gravitate towards mallsoft styled music, but this album feels very personally hand crafted to mimic a curated mixtape of tracks from their past that specifically remind them more than just a time, but a person and their connection with them as well. It's very common to invoke nostalgia in Vaporwave, but to invoke the feeling of longing for a personal time period in one's life is truly special worth listening to. Favorite tracks: ⓢ☋❡ꍏ☈Ϝ♗♫ꍏ, ❡ꍏ♔♗♫❡ Ϝ⊙☈ ♄⊙☋☈ⓢ, ⓢ​⌘​ⓢ​ω

Spencer Hodo dropped a small 2 track release over on the Anti-Club label. Both tracks feature Hodo's classic eclectic blend of break-beats and electronic music. Hodo wastes no time with these tracks and just hammers down idea after idea in order to keep things moving without staying still for too long. The first track "due diligence" is extremely electronic and glitchy at its core. Thee synths are shifting into different rhythms and melodies every second while retaining their familiarity. The drum breaks on this track are meticulously chopped to keep the track in a constant state of flow and movement. The second track "intentional lands" starts off on the opposite spectrum with its more acoustic sounds of a guitar melody on top of some more low-key drumming. Around the 1:20 mark is when things start to come to fruition with this insane wailing synth sequence that somehow blends perfectly with the original guitar without sounding at sonic odds. What we're left with is this beautiful blend of organic sounds mixed with electronic sequences. Favorite track: intentional lands This month's releases have been amazing so far and I highly recommend everyone to give each and every one of these projects a listen. If you have any newer releases you'd like me to cover, feel free to send me submissions over at my Discord, in the submissions tab here on my blog, or send an email at portals.rwb@gmail.com. Thank you all for checking out this week's UVF blog and please share it around to your friends :). I'm gonna try and come out with a new post every Friday and cover things from New Releases in the scene as well as albums Ive just been listening to and highly recommend. Have a great Friday UVF! -portal.uvf

Writing practice, minimal (no) editing, yadda yadda. Prompts from this post.

I wrote this in June, and then forgot to post it (aka meant to go back and write more). I like it a lot and may continue it at some point, we'll see!

Prompt choice: "you aren't what I expected" Fandom: Marvel Pairing: none Rating: Teen Words: 1,000

Clint jerked awake, flailing as he rolled off the couch, feet tangled in a blanket. He landed on his stomach, smacking his cheek against the floor. "Ow."

Barnes didn't say anything, but Clint could feel him staring. The guy had the kind of intense unblinking stare that let you know exactly how little he thought of you. It was enough to give Clint a complex. And wake him up from his nap, apparently.

He wriggled, attempting to extricate himself from the blanket holding his feet hostage. Barnes just watched, still in the doorway to the common area lounge, as Clint flopped around like a fish out of water. Clint rolled over, banged his elbow on the coffee table, and finally got one foot free, losing a sock in the process. He sat up and disentangled his other foot, but couldn't find the missing sock. 

"You okay there, Barton?" he muttered under his breath. "Yeah, no, I'm totally fine, thanks for asking." He levered himself up so that he could shake out the blanket, but there was still no sock. "Sorry for waking you up out of a dead sleep with my creepy murder stare. Oh hey, no, it's fine, no hard feelings."

When he looked over again, Barnes was gone, as silently as he'd appeared. Damn. Well, everyone knew he wasn't at his best when he had just woken up. He yanked the other sock off and tossed it behind the couch for one of Tony's robots to find. Or to join its mate in the lost sock dimension. It didn't matter. He didn't care. Boy, did he ever need a cup of coffee.

---

After that, Barnes kind of avoided him. Not that he noticed, not right away. When Steve had brought him to the tower, he had avoided everyone equally, including Steve, after all. But then Clint started seeing him around - talking shop with Tony, making tea with Bruce, sparring with Natasha, eating sandwiches with Steve in the kitchen. The World Security Council was still dragging its feet on clearing him to leave the tower, let alone go on missions, so he was around. A lot. 

As much as Clint, in fact, who had been dragging his own feet on visiting a SHIELD-sanctioned therapist and getting cleared for duty himself. 

But then, once he noticed, he couldn't stop noticing. That Barnes' smile would freeze, just for a microsecond, before he would go back to his conversation with Tony. That he would take his tea and leave with a nod at Bruce. That he would always shake his head at Natasha's suggestion to spar with them both. That he would still be joking around with Steve, laughing even, but his eyes would follow Clint around the kitchen until Clint slunk out again, back itching between his shoulder blades. 

It sucked.

Clint had a lot of time to think about it, seeing as how he wasn't sleeping so great. Nothing waited for him in his dreams but the cold pleasure of doing Loki's bidding as the world burned. It was hard to want to go to bed, when he knew what was waiting for him. 

That's what he was thinking about, sitting on the couch in the common lounge at three in the morning, watching an infomercial. He was thinking maybe he should actually make an effort with Barnes, apologize or something. What had he ever done to the guy, anyway, except make some - admittedly rude, but not unforgivable - snarky comments after getting startled out of a dreamless, for once, sleep? Maybe he should ask Nat. She usually knew what was going on.

Decision made, he yawned, wrapping the blanket more securely over his shoulders. He could probably fall asleep here, with the television on. Bruce would be up in a few hours, making soothing breakfast noises in the kitchen. Tony might come in before that, on his way to bed. It would be safe.

---

He woke up to the smell of coffee. His feet were warm, almost too warm, and he sighed, stretching his legs out to get them out from under the blanket. Instead of cool air, they pressed up against something warm. Something wearing denim and even warmer than Clint was. 

"Good morning," an amused voice said.

Clint pulled the blanket down from his face and lifted his head. Oh jeez. He was currently playing footsie with Barnes's thigh. "Uh," he said. "Why?"

Barnes was smiling at him. His eyes were still icy blue, still sharp, still focused on Clint, but his mouth was quirked up at the corners, as if he really wanted to laugh a little but thought it might be rude.

"Am I dreaming?" Clint said. He lifted his knees up and scooted backwards until he could half sit, half lean against the arm of the couch.

"Not as far as I'm aware," Barnes said dryly. He pushed a steaming mug on the coffee table in Clint's direction. "Have some coffee."

Clint picked up the mug and drank half of it in one long swallow. He wasn't one to turn down coffee, even it was suspect coffee brought to him by a guy who hadn't said more than three words in a row to him for months. Coffee was coffee. It was the nectar of life.

"Thanks, I guess," Clint said. He looked into the cup instead of at Barnes.

Then Barnes did laugh, just a huff of air. "You're welcome," he said. He leaned back, spreading his arms over the back of the couch, shaking his hair out of his face. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt, the gold accents on the black arm the Wakandans had given him gleaming in the morning light coming through the windows. 

Clint realized he was staring and returned his eyes to the shiny black depths of his coffee cup.

"You aren't what I expected," Barnes said, after a minute or two.

"I'm not exactly at my best," Clint mumbled. "Wait, what did you expect?"

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

snippet from wayne pov part 3!

Wayne likes Steve.  Like, a lot.  It’s funny how drastically things can change. Opinions. Feelings. Judgements. Before, the Harrington name would have made Wayne’s lips curl back — in disgust, distaste, displeasure. But now, they curve into something gentler, something softer. A smile, because, these days, Harrington means Steve. And Wayne likes Steve. Loves him, actually. And ain’t that something? Eddie always pretends to be unimpressed, whenever Wayne alludes to this. He’ll roll his eyes and huff out these silly little puffs of air that fluff up his bangs, and sometimes he’ll even cross his arms over his chest as if that’s supposed to make Wayne take him more seriously. He does it all while yammering on about how he should have never introduced the two of them, how they get along way too well, how Wayne probably likes Steve too much. Wayne’s favorite is when Eddie accuses him of liking Steve more. Wayne, naturally, can see right through the little charade. It’s not very hard, though, when Eddie forgets that he’s supposed to be pouting, and the corners of his lips twitch up when he thinks Wayne isn’t looking.
