#Because it's migraine day for me XD

[phoenixcatch7]

Lmao I'd love to see a fic where batman like. Doesn't talk at all. He just 'hn' and 'hrm's his way through the story like a Minecraft villager. All the bat kids understand him perfectly.

I actually know people irl who can do this, and I've done it myself during bad migraines, it's practically a second language, so I know it's totally possible to have full conversations between two speakers XD!

It'd be another degree of separation between Brucie Wayne, the ditzy, breathy playboy and batman, who used up all his vocal spoons for the day and now communicates solely through unintelligible grunts and sharp hand gestures when he doesn't need to talk to strangers.

Unfortunately, the best way to learn grunt speak is the same way most languages are learned, and there's no written word (outside of emoji, of course): immersion. And the justice league are no longer considered strangers.

This leads to:

Hal: which way do we go, spooky? Where's the tracker pointing?

B: *grunt*

Hal: what?

B: *insistent grunt*

Hal:..... Can we point?

B: *dour look* *slowly raises arm to point left down the street* *sharp, insistent grunt*

Hal, dryly: don't strain yourself.

Damian: greyson. I am calling because father has had an injury and is bed bound for tonight, however Alfred is downstairs and the rest are still on patrol. I am still in the early stages of learning father's intonations. Please translate.

Nightwing, eldest, regularly called for exactly this reason by just about everyone Bruce has ever spoken with since he was a kid, ranging from arkham guards to jl members: *heavy sigh* put him on.

Bruce: hrng...

Nightwing: He's telling you to close the curtains and keep the noise down, he's got a headache.

Damian, over the sound of footsteps and fabric rustling: it truly is just like another language.

N: nah, it's a lot of probability. I've known b for years, I can guess pretty well. There's a lot we can say. For example, that grunt actually carried a lot more meaning, I just trimmed it down.

Damian: truly?

N: yup! If I had to be pedantic, it actually meant 'I am in quite a lot of discomfort, the cause of which is my head, and I am struggling to manage it on my own. Please aid in my cause, my darling sons whom I love dearly -'

Damian: *muffled noise through the phone*

N: that'll be him telling us to shut up. But you can see why I asked you to close the curtains.

Damian: fascinating. I shall take this under advisement.

-

B, exhausted after a long day of board meetings as Brucie: *moody silence*

Gordon: Batman, how's it going?

B: *glower* *drawn out grunt*

Gordon: that bad, huh?

-

Supes, during a briefing: I believe it would be best if we attacked from the north, we've enough flying members to crest the mountains and ambush then that way - Batman?

B: *quiet grumble, with pointer fingers moving in semicircles*

Supes: ah, I see. You're right, we'd be too visible if the sun rose behind them*turns to see the other members standing behind him* what?

Flash, bowing at the waist, palms together over his head: teach me your ways, oh mighty bat-speaker.

HIII If you're accepting requests rn I'd love to ask for something done! Floyd leech x autistic (preferably trans, but it's okay if not as well!) male reader! basically I'd love for my fave character to comfort me lol,,, Like... bodily affirmations, squeezes, lots of sweet kisses... maybe some crying... Idk!! just go with whatever comes to mind! (sorry if too vauge, I feel sooo braindead rn XD)

yah ty if you get around to this!!! it'd make my days so much better, I've already read all the stuff in the floyd x male reader tags so I'm feeling so deprived of good n' comforting content aughhh....

Bad Days

Floyd x autistic trans male reader

A/N: So funny thing I wrote like half of this and then my app reset so I have to rewrite almost I’ll of it :,) but anyways this is also kinda a comfort fic for me because I’ve been dealing with a lot of sensory issues and transphobia lately , along with being borderline denied an autism assessment so this is a fic for both of us anon

Trans male reader, autistic reader, dysphoria, sensory issues, autism meltdown, non sexual nudity

Days like these are tough. From the moment you woke up you could tell that something was wrong. It starts with the clothes. The shirt and jacket just feel wrong.

But there’s nothing else to wear so… you wear it. Then it gets worse in class. The temperature is just too much, and it makes your clothes feel so much worse, like you want to just scratch at your skin until the feeling stopped.

The noises the people make around you are unbearable. The gum chewing, the lip smacking, all of it is just to much. It makes you want to tear your hair out and rip your ears off.

The lights are too bright and everyone is just so loud, it’s starting to feel like your getting a migraine, like you just can’t take it anymore and start screaming at any moment.

And of course somehow these feelings just make you more aware of your body. You’re suddenly hyper aware of your chest, your waist, your face, even your voice. It’s all too much.

Luckily, when you first came to Night Raven Colege, you thought ahead about this. It was important for your teachers to understand your situation, diagnosis or not.

Crewel was aware of your situation, and with one look you’re able to slip out of class. You rush back to your dorm as quickly as possible, suddenly grateful that classes were going on so nobody could see you. You can’t help the whines that slip from your throat as you desperately try to hold yourself back from completely breaking down into a mess of screams and cries.

You’re able to quickly make it back to your dorm, locking yourself in your room and throwing off your uniform. Sure, being completely naked almost in tears in your dorm room isn’t the most flattering thing, but you just had to get that stupid uniform off.

Rubbing down the worst feeling parts of your body, you’re able to calm down enough to dig out your favorite clothes and throw them back on, even if they not be in the best state. You just need them right now.

Being able to use any type of noise cancelling headphones or earbuds helps calm you down a little bit more. Just having them in, even if you’re not playing anything, it helps get all of the noises from the day out of your head.

A drink of water also helps. In very few gulps you’re able to swallow almost an entire bottle of water. You lay down in your bed, breathing heavily as you start to calms down in a safer environment.

As you lay in bed, you can feel your soft blanket in your feet, rubbing them back in forth to get a nicer sensation than what you were feeling for most of the day.

Taking a few more sips of water, completely finishing off the water bottle, you take your stim toy of choice. You have all of your favorite options thanks to everyone at NRC giving them to you. As you fidget and play one of your favorite videos, you start to think. You managed to slip out of class, and you didn’t even hurt yourself or make a complete mess of your room. At least that’s some progress.

You’re cut off by your thinking by a knock on the door. Not able to form words at the moments, you pull yourself out of bed and peek out of the door.

Standing there is your tall, rather intimating boyfriend.

“Eh? Shirmpy what happened? You just left class so suddenly…”

He has his usual playful drone to his voice, but you can tell the slight hint of concern, a difference you’re sure only you and his brother can notice.

You stay silent, just giving him a pained look and hoping he understand. He does.

“Not talkin’? Alright… you want me to stay?”

You’re able to give him a small nod, and he walks right in and practically jumps onto your bed, making grabby hands at you, his mood doing almost a 180, as he usually does.

You could always depend on Floyd to understand what you’re going through. He also has his fair share of his own mood swings and tantrums, he’s never judge you for your own.

You walk back to bed and slowly slink into his arms, leaning against his chest comfortably. Floyd was somehow never too hot or too cold to cuddle with. He was somehow always the perfect temperature no matter what you were feeling. It almost feels like he knows how to control his own body temperature on purpose.

He squeezes you tight, not as hard as he does when he’s mad at someone or intentionally trying to hurt them, but a real, genuine hug. And it’s perfect. Others would complain that his squeezes are way to tight, but to you it’s perfect. He’s almost like a weighted blanket. You’re glad you make him feel safe enough to hug you as hard as he wants with genuine love.

He snuggle close to you, leaving soft kisses on his he top of your head and cheek, but not anywhere that may be uncomfortable in your overstimulated time. He’s mindful of where exactly he’s touching you, he knows what parts don’t want to be touched in these moments, even the most obscure ones.

As the two of you snuggle and watch whatever you chose to put on, he mutters sweet things to you.

“I love yooou.” “My boyfriend….” “My boy.” “So handsome”

It seems like he’s in a lovey mood now. Even with his sudden switches, he always seems to know the right things that you need to hear. He also checks up on how you’re feeling.

“Are ya comfortable?” “Feelin’ any better?” “Are you too warm?” “Do ya want your stuffed animal?” “Want me to move my arms?”

When you aren’t talking, the both of you are in a comfortable silence. It starts to become hard to keep your eyes open after the day you’ve had combined with the cozy environment with your boyfriend holding you tight.

Eventually, you can’t fight the exhaustion anymore and feel yourself starting to drift. Before you fully fall asleep, you feel a soft kiss on the top of your head and the arms around you squeeze just a bit tighter.

“G’night Shirmpy, sweet dreams…”

Aaah I love writing comfort fics. Usually my head cannon style posts do better than my actual fics so I guess I’ll see how this goes. Also this is based on my own experience with autism, so if it doesn’t fit you I’m sorry, Ty for reading and have a nice day

1. New job, new problems... (PedroPascalxreader) - one shot

Ok, so here's the first one shot of: one shots week. As I wrote, I was inspired by my problems, but don't take everything literally, because of course I changed some things, but generally yes, my new co-workers are mean bitches. But I've come to terms with it. At least instead of talking to them, I write ff xD

Summary: co-workers at your new job treat you badly. You try to hide it from your boyfriend, but even from a distance Pedro senses that something is wrong.

Warnings: little sad but later fluff and loving, caring Pedro

This can be considered as a continuation: ♡Just let it go…

You were happy when you got a new job where you made more money. No matter how many times Pedro told that you could have his money. You felt bad about it and wanted to prove to him that you weren't with him for the money.

However, you soon found out that your new job was a nightmare. And it wasn't the job itself, because it was easy and fun for you. Your co-workers were the problem. You ended up in a three-person team consisting of all women, and you felt their hostility from the very beginning. They had trouble giving you the simplest of information, like where the bathroom is. They responded with annoyance to your every question. But you thought they'd get used to you over time. You were polite and tried to have little chats with them, but it was not effective because they ignored you. With each passing day, you felt worse and worse, and as if your misfortune wasn't enough, Pedro flew to the set in Morocco.

You sighed heavily as you sat alone at a table during your lunch break. You've been scrolling through the photos fans have taken of your boyfriend. It always made you feel a little better and made you forget everything for a moment. Your boyfriend looked pleased, though you could see he was tired. You wanted so much to hug him and make sure he was taking care of himself.

Of course, Pedro wanted you to go with him. At least for a few days, but you couldn't take free time from your new job so quickly. Another minus.

And of course, every time you spoke to him, you said everything was fine. You didn't want to worry him. You knew he should be focused on a movie set.

You were just looking at a photo of Pedro wearing a white t-shirt that was visibly wet at the bottom. You smiled and started to wonder what your beloved had done. Knowing him, he probably spilled something on himself. Pedro was so clumsy sometimes. But you loved it about him. You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn't even notice your co-workers walking past you. Their sudden giggles made you jump and almost drop your phone.

"Seriously Y/N," Jane said. "You'd better focus on your job, not on dreaming about some actor who doesn't even know you exist."

You had to bite your tongue not to say that unlike her, you work instead of filing your nails half the day.

"I don't know what these girls see in him," Michele said.

You perfectly saw how a few days earlier she was drooling at the monitor when she was reading an article about your boyfriend.

Before you could answer anything, they walked away laughing like crazy.

When you talked to Pedro in the evening, you could hardly keep your composure. He asked you several times if you were okay.

"Honey, you really do sound kind of weird," he said sadly.

"I'm really fine... I've had a busy day today and I think I'm having a migraine."

"My poor baby," he cooed. "Maybe you should lie down."

"That's what I'll do."

"Do you want me to talk to you on the phone until you fall asleep?"

You wanted to cry. Your boyfriend was so sweet and caring.

"Yes," you whispered.

You only felt worse for the next few days. Even during lunch, you didn't look at pictures with Pedro because your co-workers always sat at the table next to you. You were sure those bitches did it on purpose. It was ridiculous and you felt like you were in high school.

You started wondering if you should just start going out to some restaurant for lunch. You would have less time then, but you would gain peace of mind. Suddenly you heard some commotion behind you.

"Is that him? It's impossible," Michele murmured.

You turned around and your heart leaped. You couldn't believe your eyes. A smiling Pedro was walking towards you with a small bouquet of your favorite flowers. You couldn't take it any longer and ran over to him. He welcomed you with open arms and hugged you tightly. You pulled away from him after a while, to look into his eyes. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw the silly faces of these three bitches.

"What are you doing here?" you choked out.

"Did you really think I wouldn't sense something was wrong?" He stroked your cheek gently. "I'm back only for two days, but I hope it's enough."

You nodded and murmured, "I still have a few hours left at work."

"I know, but I couldn't wait to see you. I'll pick you up in the car so you don't have to take the subway back and we'll spend a wonderful evening together."

You blushed involuntarily, and he chuckled and whispered in your ear, "Yeah, I'm thinking about that too."

You shook your head and groaned as you realized you had to get back to work. You kissed Pedro on goodbye.

Suddenly your co-workers wanted to talk to you, but this time you ignored them. It was really sweet revenge.

Pedro has come for you as promised. On the way, he picked up food from your favorite restaurant. At home, he lit the candles and asked, "Dinner first, or bath first?"

You looked at him lovingly. "Dinner."

After you ate, he prepared an aromatic, warm bath for you. The tub was big enough for both of you to fit comfortably. You sat between his legs and rested your head on his chest. His big hands traced patterns on your breasts and belly. You finally felt relaxed. You closed your eyes and sighed heavily. You felt Pedro kiss you on the head. "My love, can you tell me what's been making you so sad lately?"

You nodded and squeezed his hand tightly. Though you tried to be calm, your voice trembled a few times as you told him about your job and how your co-workers treated you.

Pedro listened to you carefully, and at the end of your story, he hugged you tightly and kissed your shoulder.

"I'm so sorry babe. These stupid women should be glad to be working with someone as great as you." He placed a kiss on your shoulder again. "I know we've talked about this before, but you don't have to work. You know that. Why do I need money if I can't make the people I love happy?"

You smiled and squeezed his arm. "I know baby. But I want to go back there and watch those bitches die of jealousy because I have the most amazing and handsome boyfriend in the world."

Pedro chuckled and hugged you tighter. "Can this most amazing and handsome boy take you to bed and enjoy your body?"

"Yes!" you squeaked.

A week later, your boss appreciated your work and decided to transfer you to a new, more experienced team. Your new co-workers turned out to be very friendly and communicative. Enjoyed your job again. Though it was nice knowing you had a great boyfriend thanks to whom you don't have to work. And you don't have to worry about money.

Okay so I have chronic conditions, and the migraine ask made me think….what if one of Annie had a chronic condition?

How would the others (and armin) help her cope with day to day life, flares, doctor appointments, brain fog and so much more

Hello anon~

Hmmm, they'd be very concerned for her well-being imo? The only thing I can think of atm is that Annie's the type to not actively seek out help and keep such problems to herself, even if it means suffering alone because something that's very core to her character growing up was the idea of being self-reliant since there were little avenues of help she could call out for or depend upon. So Annie having chronic pains and other conditions would mean she doesn't speak about it and prefers to handle it alone.

That said, I honestly think that in spite of Annie's default icy-exterior barrier being up, sooner or later and one by one, the others will learn to either by-pass it or just make her put it down for good hhaha xD

So that's basically Annie scowling extra hard with a migraine and insisting she's "fine" and "doesn't need any help" while the others are like "yes yes good to know, now please stop hissing and lie down so we can take care of you"

It'd be very cute actually T^T

[androcola]

So when it comes to Michael, does he have an autoimmune disease like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or Fibromyalgia? I could see his muscles and joints tensing up like they are in mid lift and it lasting hours. The pain can be excruciating and your whole body gets sore to the touch and you sweat excessively from the strain. He could be in the middle of walking and talking and then his body just tightens up and Micky has to carefully lift him because at that point his feet become lobster claws and are impossible to walk on. Sometimes it even can give you Bell’s Palsy symptoms and it forces your neck muscles to painfully twist to one side, tendons popping, mouth droops, liquid fire shoots up your neck, and you can’t talk. Your hands turn into claws too and you can’t pick anything up. Sometimes it can last for hours to even days and it can cause tendons to snap with the pressure. People sometimes will rock back and forth to relieve the tension or rub their feet together causing painful sores. Sometimes Lidocaine patches with the high dosage of 5% can help with the pain, muscle relaxers, or even simple ice, or heat. There’s never one clear solution and each experience can call for something else. You’re never too sure what’s going to work. But don’t let him near (NSAIDs) because they are great for pain and inflammation but they cause intestinal bleeding. I’d like to see Michael try one of those freezing chambers to help his pain that athletes use! I think he would freak out but usually the people stand right next to you and talk to you to distract ya from the below zero temperatures. Then he can go home and pass out blissfully for 2 days straight because it makes you feel that good.

Agh!! I could also see him suffering from debilitating cluster migraines.

Due to his meds that lower your immune system to stop it from attacking your body, Michael would be susceptible to getting sick a lot with flu, colds, pneumonia, stomach bugs, infections, etc etc… someone in the pad is sick…welp so is Michael. Sighs.

A lot of his symptoms reminds me of them. Or even Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis cause similar issues from stomach and intestinal to joint and muscle pain. Crohns could also cause issues within the mouth and throat like deep linear ulcers and lesions. I recently learned acid reflux, if not taken care of, can cause cancer of the throat. A lot of diseases obviously cause anxiety, depression, rapid weight loss, weakness, tenderness to the stomach and chest areas, pain in back and tail bone, chest pain, fast heart rate, palpitations, arms going numb, the risk of your intestines twisting, GERD, the risk of blockage in bowel and the intestinal lining thickening due scar tissue, breathing issues, painful stomach bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. I could see Michael having to go on a very high dosage of Prednisone (steroids) for any of the diseases mentioned. He could get extremely angry, irritable, losing his temper, can’t keep still so cleans the house constantly despite it being spotless, non-stop talking, cooking and baking everything under the sun, can’t control his eating, absolutely ravenous, and gaining some weight in the process. That weight can be tricky to get rid of it’s mostly due to water weight, but overtime it’ll go away once you’re feeling better and can move around. But make sure he doesn’t get off his steroids too quickly. It causes painful drug withdrawals. Ooof. There’s just so much. XD sorry. I live with family who are doctors, surgeons, morticians, pharmacists, and those with these diseases including me so I like to kinda discuss these things and also torture poor Michael. Heh.

ouh waow. OKAY

So mikes arthritis is just osteo arthritis. he's had many MANY repeated and severe injuries throughout his life, coupled with bad habits and not really caring for his body the way he should, which likely contributed to the development of his arthritis. he's a very stressed out and sick guy and never entirely learns proper self care, so he has constant and very painful flare ups, mainly in his knees, wrists, elbows, ankles and fingers, which often causes very painful swelling and can make it extremely hard to do things some days, including just walking, feeding himself, personal hygiene, etc etc. He probably has about half a million different pain killers and spends some days totally knocked out on them 😓 usually during bad flare ups he'll soak in a hot bath to relieve the swelling and pain.

as for his immune system, he does have a very poor immune system and is kinda sick with Something on almost a Weekly basis. constant flus, colds, fevers, stomach bugs, and he does get pneumonia very often. constant infections like sinus infections, ear infections, etc etc. he can get sick Very easily. even if someone around him has the most Minor cold, if he gets it, it'll put him out for about a week. Cold and wet weather is dangerous treading ground for him cuz he really is very susceptible to pneumonia and often ends up in the hospital because of it. he has to bundle up HEAVILY. especially when he's younger and extremely underweight.

during the height of his ED, his sicknesses would be a million times worse because his body was just far too weak to fight any of it. there are several times where he's nearly died as a result. by the time he's older, mainly around the 80s, he's able to manage a bit better now that his body is nourished, but it still has less energy than that of an average man.

he also has terrible allergies that, without medication, can cause break outs of hives, terrible sinus headaches and pressure in his head, swelling eyes, trouble breathing, just general misery. he takes some very heavy allergy medications and they usually do the trick most of the time.

he does have chronic stomach issues due to his ED, considering the fact that it lasted So long. literally about 10 years. the fact he made it so long is a miracle with how bad it was. He has a hard time with digestion and gets bad stomach aches often, and has some...bathroom trouble quite often.

sometimes if he over eats, sometimes he ends up throwing up what he ate unintentionally. he can't have very big meals for a long time. I think his stomach has permanent damage from all the abuse.

he also has weaker bones due to his ED and is much more prone to breaks and fractures . what wouldn't break a bone in someone else might break a bone in him, and it takes a little longer for him to heal.

he does get cluster headaches! those are very very terrible and unfortunately are also chronic. his suffered a lot of head trauma throughout his life, mostly due to his father. his migraines are very scary because one moment it'll feel very mild, as if in the blink of an eye, it'll be like someones taken an icepick behind his eye. often times he ends up in such debilitating pain that he just loses all control, screaming and crying, or moaning and sobbing, writhing in excruciating pain.

the guys feel very helpless in this all because there really isn't anything they can do at all. they can't always be prevented, and they can't be cared for when they're in full swing. the only thing they can do is sit by his bedside and hold his hand and try their best to soothe him while he screams and cries.

eventually in his older age, around his 50s, he ends up with heart issues. likely due to his ED, and chronic stress and also lowkey a caffeine addiction. and eventually he ends up on medication for his heart. and of course, as you inspired for me, POTS! he's been on like half a million medications throughout his life, and has a large sack full of different meds. he has like a fuckin pharmacies worth 😭 he spends his whole life so sick and in and out of hospitals constantly

also, after his car wreck in 1974, he ends up with a permanent limp. it was much more severe and noticable throughout the 70s and into the early 80s, but eventually it lessens a little, but is definitely still noticable. he went thru EXTENSIVE rehab and physical therapy due to the severity of the accident, but still has some recurring aches and pains related to it.

TL;DR: mike is their medical baby ❤️

[cocogum]

I'm sad the great wave volume is over and eager for the next. But I think I enjoyed following through your commentary more than actually getting the story xD

So, thanks for that.

I’ve been giggling at ur comment for two minutes now 🥰🥰

DON’T TELL ME NICE THINGS, MY JAW’S ABOUT TO POP OFF FROM SMILING TOO MUCH-

But in all seriousness, your lovely comment means more than you’ll ever know.

Every Thursday when a new chapter was uploaded, I found myself re-reading it repeatedly. I had to carefully organize my thoughts to articulate them clearly and in a logical order for others to easily follow. I also had to screenshot every panel I needed to reference in order to illustrate my points.

I often have to combine two or three panels into one using Picsart on my phone because Tumblr only allows 10 images and 30 images on the website. This way, I can avoid discarding or wasting any of the images I want to share. Additionally, I sometimes use ibisPaint X to cover up certain parts in images where I cropped them and it affected the appearance of the eyes.

But don’t get me wrong, despite going through this hell every Thursday night, the chapters were a joy to read, and I enjoyed reflecting on them while considering how to approach discussing them.

In short, it was hell but I enjoyed the full process 💖

But it’s obviously not over for the great wave series lol

Since the physical copy of the first volume featured 5 chapters (the 10 webtoon episodes got fused into 5 chapters), this means that we’re only at the very beginning of the Great Wave manga’s story. (I can’t believe we’re still at the beginning even though it feels like we’re already in deep shit 💀)

Tot pretty much confirmed on Twitter that there will be around 100 chapters to prepare for.

That means I’m aware we’ll see much more mature themes (*cough* chapter 1 *cough*) and much more graphic content (*cough* possible horrid assassination of the royal osamodas family *cough* no I am not delusional).

That means I’m aware I’ll have to keep this whole commentary thing going about a hundred times 😄🤭😁

But to know that you enjoyed my commentary more than the story is just-

Wow??? I am speechless???

Like-

What do I even say to that??

I get that the story gave us a huge weekly migraine cuz of the chicken and gorilla but omg???

I am genuinely happy that I made your migraine bearable throughout those weeks, thank you so so much for telling me 😭💖

Just the thought of knowing that you liked them makes me wanna bash some blue animals again 👹👹

I hope you’re having a wonderful day/evening/night imatekuani 💖💖💖

(I see you got a King pfp 👀 ur even more amazing for having good taste ✨💕💕 I’m also pissed disney had to end the owl house earlier than expected)

[dennydraws]

27. Is there a particular "trope" for relationships that you especially enjoy - e.g. enemies to lovers etc - and is this something that you set out intending to explore?

I got KO from migraine before I could answer this aaa...!!

Favorite Tropes! ---------------------

It really, really depends how they are written of course. Bad writing can turn my fave tropes into a mess and good writing can turn tropes I don't normally enjoy into something super inspiring to me! When I write it is almost always character driven plots so their dynamics are very important. I try to set them in a way like little cog wheels that will pull the cart (the plot) in the direction I want to go and for that reason I do pick tropes that will work to move the story. I'm also unsure of proper names for those but...

Grumpy Grouch x Cinnamon Roll I love when the grumpy/tsundere type gradually falls in love and has difficulty processing or expressing their feelings. It's always so much fun to write/read! Not so much when people write the Grump as a Bully, there is a line that makes me very uncomfortable when crossed.

Enemies to Lovers Of course this one is here! Although I've never written this type - I often delude it to Rivals to Lovers. But I do very much love this trope when written well cause of how turbulent and intense it can be. I think because I'm such a softy, I fail to create the proper intensity for such ship dynamic xD;; Maybe one day!

Brave Adventurer x Shy Bean Ok, I have no idea how this one is called and I know it's used like a lot and everywhere in like every dang disney movie or such. One side is brave and courageous and the other needs their help to come out of their shell. It is very plain and very boring at first glance but it is a comfort dynamic that I enjoy playing with and twisting it around like a silly putty. xD; Does the adventurer get burned and suffers great loss during their antics? Does the shy one grows and the dynamic shifts? Does the adventure one becomes a villain in the process or vice versa? I feel like this one is like the base that I can always work into something interesting for me.

Fix me!/Save Me! Can't have a list without this one. One side had already descended into a path that will lead to tragedy and the other side pulls them out. Is it cliche and overdone? Yeah, it is. Am I going to stop writing it because it is? Hell, no! I think fundamentally we do want to see people rise above their vices, above their mistakes and errors - we want to see hope and kindness triumph. In fiction we are in control, we can weave such narrative and it can be cathartic. I think people labeling characters weak for needing help is giving the bad message of - hold your pain and never seek/accept help. It is kind of silly to me. Does it have to strictly be romantic? Nah. I absolutely love this one as platonic just as much and looking back at some characters I've written over the past? I've used this one as platonic a lot more xD;

[violaceum-vitellina-viridis]

okay so i am currently cram scrambling for finals week and i have pulled two all nighters in the last ...twelve days, with tonight marking the third

i really try not to do all nighters anymore, at least not on purpose; i used to do them a lot, but i have gotten it down to like one or maybe two a month, usually ones where i didn't get a choice because the insomnia got me or i slept too late and so was unable to get back to sleep in time before an early thing. if i do them on purpose it's because i've weighed my options and genuinely come to the conclusion that the all-nighter is the better option for logical reasons, like the last two and tonight

important thing to know about me: when i'm sleep deprived, i get hypomanic. something like 30% of people with ADHD have hypomania/hypomanic episodes, i happen to be one of them.

however. fascinating discovery i have made this go around, because i've been taking my meds religiously since i am cramming for finals:

if i am steadily medicated for the ADHD (i'm on a stimulant), as in i take my usual dose every 8 to 12 hours while i remain awake (all nighters tend to mean i am awake anywhere from 20 to 36 hours),

i don't get hypomanic.

the only variable i have changed in the finals scramble is religiously taking the stimulant. i have been hypomanic since i developed the chronic migraine development (just less, because sleep deprivation can also trigger the migraines, and i tend to sleep to cope with the migraines anyway). i have been hypomanic on each and every of the new drugs i'm on for the chronic migraine, and the combinations of them. i've been hypomanic on the stimulants, even! it's just that i've never before been this religious about taking them every 8-12 hours while i'm awake on the sleep deprivation train, and...i haven't had an episode.

the stimulant. is preventing. the hypomania.

lol. lmao. XD even. oh my fucking GOD --

I have seen you around a lot before you followed me. People in this fandom seem to have a stigma about angels but especially ocs so I don’t typically follow first? So I had just quietly watched you mostly and then you showed up at my front door first and I was like cool nice and then just continued to quietly watch you from a distance though not for as long if my memory serves correctly I have a migraine so bare with me right now LMAO. I don’t remember our first interaction now, or how the silly stupid sticker thing started though you’re the only one I’ve continued to do that with since the reactions Michael gets is really adorable. It might evolve into stickers and pins and at this point Alastor is going to need one of those pin boards (I actually like enameled pins and have a small collection so tbh that would be so easy for me).

I have no artistic bone at all, I have no idea how you people do it at all. Whenever someone offers to do pretty art for me I’m flashing my wallet faster than they can even finish the sentence. In that same regard artist tend to terrify me so as you can imagine my first response throwing anything at you, especially my stupid little angel here, was incredibly terrifying. You have quite a bit of skill with drawing, I’m very impressed with the clear pictures you use that are created by you personally. Those little blushing pictures and bright smiles of Alastor are so adorable and so cute to look at. They make Alastor’s reactions to the stupid shit Michael throws at him absolutely adorable and fun to do. The reason he does keep showing back up in Alastor’s room with stickers and pins because I enjoy his reactions to what Michael shows him that day.

I am very aware I can be a bit overwhelming so if those do get to be annoying just let me know and I’ll tame my son back! But yes here you go there is your answer to the meme okay bye. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

What Attracted you to my Portrayal:

(Oh my goodness. This is so incredibly sweet that I wasn't mentally prepared, you sweetheart you 😭😭😭 I get chronic migraines too, so I understand that completely, I do hope you feel better!

Cut this one for the length🔽

I am such the goober out here, I promise I'm more scared of everyone else than you are of me! I'll lurk for a long time and then be like "alright I'm goin for it" then Alastor shows up on your doorstep like "hi". I'm winging it out there like 90% 😭😭😭😭

I'm never, ever bothered by anyone who wants to thread/ask Alastor, he likes the attention, and it's so fun for me too. So definitely don't feel like it's a bother to me! (And if I take to long responding feel free to poke me in the DMs too I forget/get distracted jdjdjdjsj.) You have a wonderful character and it has been such a pleasure, darlin.

Thank you, thank you for liking my art, that means so much! 😭💙 I try to make it fun by adding some art flare to what I'm doing, and if you're looking for something, hun, feel free to hit me up! I love getting a vague idea and trying to turn it in to something. I'm like the most relaxed artist you'll ever meet, you definitely don't have to worry about being intimidated. I got you! 😊

Feel free to hit me up in the DMs too! I love talkin' just as much as Alastor does! xD)

[gabessquishytum]

Damn, everytime I send a longer ask, I get worried all the typing was for nothing and it got swallowed by the internet wormhole. Hope you got my ask about 5 minutes ago. XD

Anyway, as another migraine haver, chronic migraine Hob is my second favourite right after bad knee Hob. And upset tummy Hob is there with them. 🥺 Imagine Hob who thought food was a necessity that made everyone sick, not just him, and it took him about 200 years on this Earth to figure out that better foods don't make him sick at all but then some of the best foods are a trap and will lead to an upset tummy anyway. Only in the 21st century does he get his answer as to what is making him sick. Bonus points if the answer is *shrug* it's usually random.

I think I did get your ask! I'm queuing a few posts up today so hopefully you'll see my answer later!! Totally understand the anxiety of stuff getting swallowed...... the Internet is a black hole.

Anyhow. TUMMY PROBLEMS HOB. This is Canon to me. I too am randomly intolerant to things for apparently no reason.

My fave headcanon to do with this is that Hob eats super bland/boring food BUT he secretly yearns for the rich and the spicy and the creamy. He has to physically restrain himself because he can just look at something and know that it'll fuck him up for days. Occasionally he allows himself a treat when he knows he has the time to spend lying in bed with tummy cramps. By god, the chocolate caramel cheesecake is worth it.

His only consolation is the humble potato, which is still a magical wonder to him. And it doesn't make him sick, yay!

[flamedraco]

hii! how are we lovely person?

for reasonable reasons I need to know:

fave time of the day

fave motifs/themes ( like poetry or indie or kindness, sparkles, alt, just like a vibe there is no wrong answer here! )

fave color palette ( feel free to use pics for all of these but PLEASE use pictures for this one)

have a lovely awesome amazing day! <333

( btw u can have multiple answers for these, for the color palette one btw I need like 2 colors minimum and 6 colors max)

I'm doing pretty good, taking a break from my Diaries AU BS at the moment because if I don't take frequent breaks this lore is going to give me a massive migraine :D

Favorite time of day is probably night. It's quieter and I'm less likely to be bothered if I'm working later into the day. Also I like sleep. Like a lot. If it's peaceful and nice I just like sleep.

Motifis and themes...well I like general royalty aesthetics and casino aesthetics with a pinch of the occasional steampunk, not to mention my favorite fallen hero trope and themes of corruption or temptation. I also practice witchcraft so I guess that can be a theme or motif.

Color pallet? My favorite colors are purple, black, and red. Kinda plays into my whole fallen hero/corruption type of deal. But I also really like mixes of red and blue with purple being mixed in between the two of them. Purple and gold as complimentary colors is also really really good. I don't really know how to upload pictures on these sorry-

Thank you for the random ask? XD

Have a good day Coffee.

Upcoming Birthday and Life Update

So first up, my birthday is coming up, and I've set up a Throne wish list for those who want to do presents. But also, I just appreciate the thought, so don't feel you're obligated. Just stopping by to say Happy Birthday on the day it comes is enough for me to get warm fuzzies. But for those who want to do presents, know I am exceptionally grateful and here is the link https://throne.com/calextheneko Now writing status. Headaches aren't as intense lately but they're still omnipresent and I've gotten a lot of really bad pain spikes. In addition I can't seem to take my ADD medicine without hurting my throat and risking higher pain spikes... So not doing well. I've been working on the current story for Switch City for over two months now and progress is slow. That one is a Patreon exclusive so will only be available on Patreon for $1 and up supporters when it does come out. After that will try to get some of the stories that are done edited so they can be uploaded to all galleries. Patreon is frozen again due to not making enough progress to justify having it open, especially since each month adds a bunch of things to my queue. I need to make sure I can get my queue reliably smaller each month before I open it back up. If anyone wants to provide general support for my writing while Patreon is paused you can use Ko-Fi. As well as could also use that for giving my birthday spending money too. Again, never required, and I will survive without it, but the option is there and I'm always very thankful. Here's the KoFi link https://ko-fi.com/calextheneko Anyway, you have all been more patient than I could ever have had the right to request. And I thank you. Health issues suck. Kids, don't get old. It's not great. Seeing neurologist this week and likely going on shots again. While no specific treatment has worked so far, a lot have caused improvements but not gotten rid of the daily migraines. So, we're hoping if we combine some things that address different causes it might finally do the job. There's some kind of pinched nerve in the back of my head, plus genetic disposition for frequent migraines (and had them all my life just didn't use to be every single day) and stress/anxiety cause of my dumb autistic traumatized brain and some other things I don't fully understand but yeah it seems like all of it just wound up being too much and exploded my two or three times a month migraines to every single zod danged day without exception. I really hope this new change in medications coming up later this week fixes it and lets me finally get back to doing what I love. Because a kitten who doesn't get to stretch his creative muscles is a very sad kitten. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and check up on me. It's not all doom and gloom. My cats like to keep my company on days I'm stuck in bed hiding, and they're very sweet helping to keep my mood lifted... And steal my food... And defile my water glass. Cause... You know. Cats. XD

What makes people love hurt/comfort FanFictions so much? What do you enjoy most when you write/read them?

I think for me personally, I wasn't allowed to be sick or hurt or upset. My parents meant well but I was always told to "suck it up" and move on. When I was sick, I was told to push through it and it would be better. Then they'd act shocked when I'd be at the doctor later.

Same with being tired. I'm in my late 30s and my mother FINALLY told me "Yeah, you should rest and chill for a day." Before that it was the whole "rest is for the weak."

I was going to school sick, going to work sick, etc. Just wearing myself off. Same with being hurt. Slap a bandaid on the scrape but don't you dare say it hurts, because then you're being dramatic. The bandaid "Fixes" it now move on.

Even today at 38, I'll push through a level 12 migraine where I can barely see because I'm not allowed to rest. I'm stronger than that.

So for me H/C just gives me that comfort that I wish I had. Someone loving me enough to be like "hey, you feel crappy... thats ok. Come on lets curl up and feel better."

I think there are a lot of readers like me. We just want a reminder that its ok to be sick/be hurt/be not ok and that someone will be there to remind you that its all ok and take care of you. Stay close enough to care and not push you to "Be better" when you're obviously not.

Also for Batman at least, having the dark knight drop what he's doing to take care of this 9 year old kid he adopted and make sure he's okay.

Update - I do have a best friend now who makes sure that I rest and she calls me out and how I was raised a lot and tells me to chill and rest. XD

[old-hyper-super-clover]

Hi Koni!🤗💜As promised, I finally thought of an ask for your OCs😌hoping it's not too trivial, stupid or complicated🙈In any case-

We already know about Clover's feelings for Jamil, and in your last post, I read that Klee seems to have a soft spot for Jade, so a question arose: how did their crushes begin? Was there attraction at first sight, or did love blossom only after a particular event?🤔

I would like to know how Clover and Klee respectively lived their experiences☺Thanks in advance for your time!✨

Finally I got to answer this! Sorry for the long wait, I've been having a glorious streak of migraines and/or bad moods... But yeah, I'm feeling pretty good today, so here I am :>

Klee

It's kinda funny that you asked about this, because I can happily tease that the next story to drop will feature Klee's experience about falling in love with Jade! I hope I'm not spoiling too much, but the boy is... very quick to fall in love. And he falls HARD. For being as expressionless as he is, Klee sure feels love very intensely, and uh... Well, you will see for yourself xD

Since that is a bit short of an answer though, I'll take the liberty to switch fandoms and talk about his love life in obey me a bit.

Klee is way more introverted within the obey me Universe, much more fixated on being an author and he generally just does his own thing because again, no one takes any interest in him anyway.

That is until, one day at the RAD library, Klee is seeking comfort and reaches for a human world book, in fact one of his all-time favourites...

... Then his fingers touch those of Satan, avatar of Wrath, and Klee grows absolutely weak to this cliché happening. Yes, he has known the demon brothers for weeks, and yes, he has exchanged, like, nine words with Satan. But right there, right now, Klee saw before is inner eye how he'd grow old together with Satan, at least eight children at their side, a house turtle to accompany them as they-

Ahem. Sorry.

Well, when Satan then even was so kind and told Klee to not mind him and take the book...

... That ultimately sealed the start of Klee's heavy, heavy crush that shows lots of daydreaming, secret fanfic writing and hoping that all his sudden life plans with this weird cat loving dude come true eventually 💕

Clover

(also back to Twst)

As for Clover ... She had a similar experience, but fought against it at first.

Clover doesn't believe in love at first sight, because in her opinion, that would only involve a person's looks, which she absolutely doesn't want to judge people on.

And yet... When she first laid eyes on Jamil, she was charmed immediately. I imagine she was invited to have dinner at Scarabia dorm, being friends with Kalim already. Looking for Kalim in the kitchen, she instead encountered Jamil, who was skillfully cooking up several dishes at once while humming a little tune to himself. And, well, his name doesn't translate to "beautiful" for nothing - his athletic body, his dark locks, his V O I C E - Clover couldn't help but stare until Jamil noticed her presence, shooting her an amused little glance, maybe paired with a sassy little remark, and thereby killing her off completely.

But yeah, Clover HATES having crushes on highly attractive people, since those also make her act all stupid and blushy around the person. But you can't be friends with Kalim without being around Jamil, too, right?

That led Clover to see more and more of him, how hard he worked, how tired he looked. Jamil stroke her as a flawless, rather cold being - which she usually isn't attracted to at all. However when she started catching glimpses of his snarky side, his enormous fear of insects, and this blush that involuntarily crosses his cheeks when he's being complimented...

... Clover wanted to never miss any of those moments ever again. She needed to see this person behind the mask, needed to support him with all she got.

She couldn't deny her feelings any longer.

I'm still thinking of a nice moment of realisation for her, where she admits it's more than fancying Jamil for his attractive traits, but rather genuine care for whom he is. I might also write that out one day 💕

I hope that answers your question dear awkward noodle friend! Thanks again so much for asking about my OCs, I can't describe how happy your interest makes me ♥️

[dasloddl]

not sure which ones you've gotten already for the spotify wrapped ask game so here are some random numbers :)

13, 56, 72, 88, 100

spotify wrapped ask actually none of these numbers have been answered before :D

hmmm idk how it got here, I thought this song was featured on the ddf movie "Erbe des Drachen" but I don't think so anymore... but I do know that I heard it around the same time as "what you know" by two door cinema club, so maybe it was recommended to me after and I thought it slapped...

well I gotta be honest on here (Tumblr) (I actually don't, but I will be)... another song from [redacted] which was in our shared playlist... I didnt think it would actually show up on here since I didnt actually listen to it very much...

I probably accidentally found this again one day and it brought back childhood memories so I put it into my favourites, not much story here xD

I mean.... twenty one pilots... a classic... I had a vessel phase where I probably listened to it a lot but other than that its probably here because of tøp superiority

here I could basically give you the exact same answer as above haha

[ephemeral-darkness]

10, 16, and 25 for the ask game seem fun <3

10: Want any piercings?

So, I already have a few (nostril, septum, snakebites, middle labret, stretched ears) and I also want quite a few!! I am next getting the other side of my nose done, then probably an eyebrow piercing (maybe 2), and then I really want a bridge piercing. Because of my weird ears, I don't have the anatomy for a lot of those but I do want a few there too.

16: I’ll love you if…

And hmm, this is a tough one! I love all sorts of different people, but honestly just being authentic and don't treat me weirdly for my special interests/hyperfixations. The bar is THAT low lmao. I have dealt with too many horrible people in the past, people I thought loved me either platonically or romantically and turned out to be terrible, so as long as you are a cool person and we gel. (I also have terrible avoidance issues so oof)

25: My idea of a perfect date

I have many because I dream of this stuff a lot XD But the one that is closest to a reality currently is the day trip Byron and I are planning to Whitby! As a pair of gothic horror nerds, its necessary to go there at least once. My next one would be concerts, they are literally the perfect environment (even if the last triggered a migraine) and no one can tell me otherwise.

But to be honest, every date with my boyfriend. Just sharing that moment, that specific moment that will never be the same, ahhh its so perfect in of itself. I will stop before I begin simping lmao
