Well, what a good month for reading August has been! A few days off can make such a difference!

As always I'll try and tag the writers whose Tumblr username I know, so they know they are loved!

If your fiction is on this recommendation list and you'd rather I take it off the list, or if you know a writer who's on this list would rather not be, please let me know and I'll remove their fiction immediately.

I have really enjoyed these fictions, including not one but two Christmas stories. In August. Because, why not? i hope you'll love them too!

August's Awesome Fictions

WIPs:

Wavelengths & Frequencies by imposterssyndrome @maaikeatthefullmoon and shades_of_eccles_cakes @shadesofecclescakes (rated E, chapters 5/?)

I'm absolutely loving this enemies-to-lovers human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale are radio DJs. They loathe each other. They also can't stop thinking about each other! Of course they end up working for the same media corporation. The humour in this story is sharp and clever, and the characterisation is excellent! It's updated every Monday and honestly the only problem I have with this story is that I receive the notification email on a Monday morning and need to wait until at least the end of the working day to dive in!

You're The Bad Guys by Nebz_AlphaCentauri @alphacentaurinebula(rated E, chapters 8/?)

Human AU set in the Cold War. Aziraphale is an MI6 agent, Crowley is a KGB agent. They're assigned to the same mission in Berlin by their respective head offices. This story is full of suspense! I love the characterisation of our heroes and each chapter leaves me wanting for more! Updated every Friday.

My own WIP And I Did (rated E, chapters 6/13)

A post season 2 fiction where Aziraphale is Supreme Archangel and Crowley is Grand Duke Of Hell.

In my not-a-summary I say that this is a story about faith, about love, and about choices. Which is true. But I have come to think of it also as my apology dance to Crowley. My headcanon about Aziraphale has always been clear and my first fiction was me sharing that headcanon basically. I wasn't as sure about what Crowley would do after the final 15 as I was about what Aziraphale’s motives were. I didn't see Crowley drinking himself oblivious or taking a road of self destruction. But I didn't know what he would do. So I skipped that part and started that fiction from after the failed second coming, but still I didn't think I did Crowley justice. Then it hit me, and that was when I started writing And I Did. I knew what Crowley would do. Crowley would do what Crowley does. And what does Crowley do best? This is a story about faith, about love, and about choices. I try to update every weekend, but I might not be as reliable as I’d like!

Complete stories:

The Truth About Plants & Queen by ShortInsomniac98 (rated E, 11353 words)

Human AU where Crowley hosts a night radio program and Aziraphale calls in. I love how their relationship develops in this story and I loved to see a friendly side of Gabriel! (And I mean Gabriel!)

The Anon Before Christmas by @foolishlovers (rated E, 66732 words)

Ah. Where to begin. Every now and then, you read a fiction that just makes you feel at home. Makes you feel like you’re in safe hands. Like you’re in for a real treat. This absolute gem has very quickly become my favourite human AU. For several reasons.  The characterisation of the two main characters is absolutely spot on. I could hear Crowley talking in DT’s Crowley voice and see him moving in DT’s Crowley way, and I could hear Aziraphale talking in MS’s Aziraphale voice and see him moving in MS’s Aziraphale way. The pace of the development of their relationship from enemies to lovers is just perfect. It’s told from Crowley’s POV and you can see how his perspective changes as the story progresses, but the writer is so good that Aziraphale’s change of perspective shows perfectly through Crowley’s POV too. The array of side characters is so good that it actually pains me to call them side characters. I wrote in one of my comments to the fiction that I will forever adore this story’s Bee, and I meant it, but Newt and Ana are equally fantastic (and I loved the other cameos too!). Also, and this is especially important to me, this story is as much a love story between Crowley and Aziraphale as it is a story of true friendship among all the characters. They look after each other, they have each other’s back, they support each other. I am so lucky and privileged to be able to see myself represented in that aspect of the story. Last but not least, this fiction doesn't overstay its welcome one bit. You are happy about how everyone ended up, but still could read more. It’s like you are part of the gang and want to know what your friends are up to. Everything in this story was perfect. I realise I haven’t mentioned what the plot is about, but hopefully by now you might want to find out for yourself!

Planes, Trains & The Apocalypse by walking_contradiction42 (rated teen, 32382 words)

Human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale meet on a plane on their way to Tadfield (via London) for Christmas. Crowley can't stand Aziraphale and only wants as uneventful a journey home as possible. Ha! 

I understand there’s a film with a similar title, you definitely don't need to have watched the film in order to enjoy this lovely fiction. 

The Bookseller And The Garden by oceantears (rated teen, 13668 words)

Fluff, fluff, fluff! Canon divergent fiction where Crowley is a demon stationed on earth, Aziraphale is an angel stationed on earth, but they have never met until present day. There's no end of the world in sight, only an angel and a demon falling in love and not knowing how to break it to the other that they're not human. I laughed all the way through.

After The End (part one of Nice And Ominous: A Reluctant Eschatology Of The Second Attempt) by beardo @e-rated-beardo (rated teen, 26086 words)

Crowley learns to cope after Aziraphale goes to heaven, with a little help.from his friends. And from the Bentley. I love the writer’s humour and the conversations between Crowley and the Bentley are hilarious.

Series:

Aziraphale’s Diaries by azzfell, @fellshish

This series is hilarious, warm and fluffy. So far there are four stories, all consisting in, yes you guessed it, Aziraphale’s diary entries. In the first story, Empirical study on the principles of snake care (rated teen, 2048 words), Aziraphale suddenly realises he hasn’t paid enough attention to Crowley snake-y needs. He decides he wants to make up for it. Hilarity ensues. Put your cup of tea down before day 6, trust me. In Experiments of an angel who has read entirely too much fanfic (rated teen, 3064 words), Aziraphale discovers fanfiction shipping him and Crowley and decides he wants to test some of the tropes on the demon. Reading Crowley’s reactions through Aziraphale’s POV lens will make you feel warm inside. Drink down at day 10. In How to be a demon: a brief history of the Arrangement (rated teen, 2663 words), Aziraphale recounts some of the temptations he’d had to do during the years, to honour the arrangement with Crowley. The last entry will make you melt. In Adventures of a mystery shopper in the bookshop (rated teen, 3090 words), Aziraphale is worried that Crowley is getting bored, so he wants to help by giving him something to do. Peeps, for this one don’t even pick your drink up. You’ll end up spitting it all over your laptop/phone/tablet.

One shots:

Keep Digging by Appleseeds (rated teen7068 words)

Human AU. Crowley and Aziraphale work in the same office and Crowley is trying to gather the courage to ask Aziraphale out, only to get cold feet at the last moment. In order to try and save his face, he needs to do what the title says. I howled with laughter. Just put down whatever you’re doing and go read this right now. It’s unbelievably hilarious.

But It’s Pretty by Supergeek21 (rated E, 2544 words)

Aziraphale and Crowley have a conversation on why the Bentley is yellow and why the walls are yellow. Things get deliciously spicy.

You've Got Kudos by curtaincall (rated M, 4128 words)

Aziraphale and Crowley both write Good Omens fanfiction on Ao3. Crowley’s stories are sweet and romantic. Aziraphale’s stories are smutty and spicy. They love each other's stories without knowing who the writer is. This fiction was a treat!

The Corset by smitten_obviously @sabine-smitten-obviously (rated G, 1248 words)

A funny and sweet account of that time in the 17th century when Aziraphale decided to wear a corset. I really loved how sweet Crowley is here, without overdoing it a bit! A little gem.

My own little one shot, Angel! Angel! They're At It Again! (rated M, 5566 words)

It's the year 2030. The world never ended. Aziraphale and Crowley are living happily and safely together as a married couple. Everything would be well, if it wasn't that lately Aziraphale has been a bit busy. A bit distracted. Now, Crowley can't have that, can he? He seeks the advice of his girlfriends, who unwittingly give him an idea on how to liven up his marriage. A fluffy and hopefully funny way to the South Downs cottage.

Poems:

To Wish To Fall by ArchangelRemiel @sassysnakedemon

A lovely and sweet poem that explores different ways of falling.

The Devil's Red Hair by lickthecowhappy

I really loved this very emotional poem! Aziraphale has a little souvenir helping him cope in heaven.

Rap Guerrilla (Remix) (Great Eight Ver.)

[Kai, Ren, Chinami, & Sanyu:]

This is Hypnosis Mic!

[Kai:]

The DJs on the decks, bringing music back to life

From opera to turntables, I've conquered every strife

Changing the game, feel the spirit in the sound

For my family and Japan, Veenyle will always stand his ground

[Zakari:]

Icarus in the sky, taking risks to feel alive

Luck is on my side, just watch me soar and dive

Spreading my wings, I've no fear of the fall

In this game of life, believe I'm gonna bet it all

[Mireya:]

Hey yo, nightlife queen, I'm the Gypsy in the scene

Vegas to Roppongi, my Palace still reigns supreme

Overcame my past, now I'm shining real bright

Fuck with me or my family, you'd better be ready for a fight!

[Ren:]

In this city of mine, dark romances come out to play

Kobe Division: Lovesick, we'll turn the night into day

From strumming for change to dreams that fiercely grow

I'll pave my way to the top, let the legacy of Vox show

[Kaiji:]

Crafting dreams with flair, and cosplaying with style

Oh, you're feeling cute? Well, let me charm you with my smile

Fair warning, fuck with Jinx, and bad luck will knock on your door

It's not temporary, but a curse, always coming back for more

[Max:]

In the wild woods, where the deadly shadows creep

Ōkami the Wolf is here, with the many secrets I keep

I may have lost my past, but I've found my call

In this deadly game, your death, I will not forestall

[Kai:]

Music is our bond, but the battle inevitably draws near

[Ren:]

Respect in both our hearts, but it's time we face our fear

[Kai:]

Each beat that we drop is just another story to tell

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

[Kira:]

On this stage again, justice is in my sight

Uncovering truths, even through the darkest night

I may have left the army, but my mission remains the same

Harm either of my sisters, and you'll catch the Huntress' flame

[Chinami:]

Though I'm blind, I see the future, quite clear as day

I've no time for games, so please step out of the way

Life's a journey, and I refuse to dwell on the past

Pay heed the words of Oracle, only the true will last

[Taria:]

What's up, bitches?! The Misfit is here to play!

Ra-ta-ta, dance or get the fuck out of my way!

First opponent? Good, step up! Come on, don't be shy

You got something to say? Well, c'mon, I'm ready to fly!

[Sanyu:]

In Fukuoka's heart, where the outcasts play

MC Rogue here, redefining the way

Normal's a lie, society's cruel jest

Rejecting their norms, we're the ones truly blessed

[Tasuku:]

What's up?! The One-Eyed Bastard's here, cards in my hand

One glance from this eye, and you'll quickly understand

Fate's a joke. Thanks, but I'll make my own way

In the casino or in life, Katame is here to stay!

[Ming:]

Ah, the children, how sweet and pure

Innocent hearts, their love is the cure

Good child, good child, Miss Ming's here to call

For you and my family, I'll rise and protect you all

[Chinami:]

We stand for our cities, our families to defend

I bear you no grudge, but in this battle, I will not bend

[Sanyu:]

With strength and resolve, we will win the day

In Fukuoka's name, MIHANASA will slay!

[Chinami:]

The darkness blinds us, but in the distance, I see one light

Together with our family, we wield this one mic

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

[Ririko:]

Pushing forward, shining bright, we're here to light the way

2Cute's here, bringing joy, making marks every day

With BittASweetZ, the three of us, together, we'll definitely go far

No matter where we are, we'll shine just like a star!

[Shu:]

Lock-on, eyes heavy, but I'm still in the game

I'm running on fumes with no sleep, but it's all the same

Curtains rise, narcoleptic will push through the night

For my team and city, I'll fight, though I'm losing the light

[Alice:]

Cherie on the mic, designs in my heart

Beauty begins when you start to play your own part

In BittASweetZ, we find just where we belong

Together we're strong, our dreams will carry on!

[Asahi:]

(That's right!)

Crafting dreams with care, bringing joy to all to share

Feeling hungry? I'll cook some treats that are oh-so rare!

Springtime blossoms, wishing and bringing hope that is anew

In this battle, I'm SWEET-T. And I'm coming straight through!

[Yuuya:]

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step

Stop midway and turn around? That, I will not accept

With deer guiding me, through the forests we roam

Just follow ARROW's lead, and we'll soon be back home

[Saigo:]

In the dark shadows where the undying truth unfolds

Tsukumogami's here, with many stories that are untold

Forsook my wealth. Why? I don't need it to survive

No matter the perils, Miraitabi will thrive

[Ririko:]

The darkness blinds us, but in the distance, I see one light

[Shu:]

Together with our family, we wield this one mic

[Alice:]

Live the best you can; you only have one life!

[Alice & Asahi:]

Never gonna stop, we're never gonna stop (Hey!)

[Saigo:]

Look around the town, there's so many bright lights

We’ll show you what’s what, so ride on

We are the No. 1 hip-hop tribe y'all!

[Great Eight:]

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

[Mina:]

Do you copy, can anyone hear me calling right now?

Who am I, and why was I made in this horrible way?

'Mina Murray, will you continue to scrounge like some scavenger?

Or will the light of the sun do away with you, someday?'

[Elliot:]

Placing my words with care, I hope that they all rhyme

In Nature, this is where Nanashi finds his time

In this world of chaos, I quietly hope to seek and find

The love for all Earth's creatures, the most noble kind

[Yorii:]

Oh yeah, it's going down now, feel the beat that's in your feet

Sireen's here, making music that's oh-so sweet!

In this life we have, we'll sing every day

Come on, forget your worries; let's just dance and play!

[Sakura:]

Looking down on you, I sneer at your pathetic sight

In Shizuoka's underworld, Renegade owns the night

You fucked with the Kito-gumi? Bang! A bullet to your head

Let that be a lesson: oppose me, and you'll end up full of lead!

[Reika:]

In the shadows, wealth and power I claim

You may call me Belladonna, try to remember the name

With poisons and charm, I rigged the entire game

That's why no matter the opposition, I won't ever be tamed

[Kanon:]

Look at you, another failed experiment in my sight

Mz. Hyde's vengeance, no sentiment, just might

Chuohku's lies, I'll expose them all with precision

In this lab of revenge, you will all fall to my vision

[Mina:]

You think that you know me bitch, but I will not be denied

Come near me and my brothers, and I will bleed you fucking dry!

[Kanon:]

Better fit for experiments, what an angry, rabid dog

In the grand scheme, you're barely worth to be called a cog

[Mina:]

The darkness blinds us, but in the distance, I see one light

[Elliot:]

Together with our family, we wield this one mic

[Yorii:]

Live the best you can; you only have one life!

[Yorii & Sakura:]

Never gonna stop, we're never gonna stop (Hey!)

[Sakura:]

Look around the town, there's so many bright lights

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hey! Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhh

[Kai:]

Roppongi's light, we shine so bright

[Ren:]

In Kobe's heart, we own the night

[Chinami:]

Ota's wisdom, guiding our fight

[Sanyu:]

Fukuoka's strength, we'll set things right

[Ririko:]

Nakano's charm, with dreams in sight

[Yuuya:]

Nara's journey, our path is tight

[Mina:]

Setagaya's mystery, hidden from light

[Kanon:]

Shizuoka's power, the Great Eight's might!

Sexiest Podcast Character — Unscripted Bracket — Round 1

Propaganda

Gable (Campaign: Skyjacks):

7ft tall sulver-haired thembo of a fallen angel. was the literal sword of god until they killed him! reasons slightly unclear but probably sure to forbidden queer love! super caring for their friends. has one friend they have known for hundreds of years who they HATE but are bound to by the red string of fate. their sword is a part of them, they can sheathe it into a tattoo. they start out indistinct at the edges but as they have continued on through the campaign they have become more and more distinct. they became a flaming engine of justice to kill their friends shitheaded older brother who was following him. they have learned enough necromancy to allow other fallen angels to die, even though they typically cannot. they fly giant birds in to battle.

7ft tall beefcake wielding a sword as tall as they are. vengeful sweetheart

Imagine now: a fallen angel with beautiful gray hair and very big muscles. Now imagine them with a 9 ft sword. Now imagine them as a helmsperson of a pirate ship in a flowy deep-v pirate shirt. Now imagine they're dumb as a fucking rock. And finally, imagine that they killed god. Here, you have made Gable Skyjacks: sexiest podcast character of all time.

7ft tall nonbinary/genderfluid thembo fallen angel sky pirate who wields a buster sword. silvergrey hair with black/gold streaks as they regain feathers/memories of before their fall. back is covered in tattoos that hide the scars of their shredded off wings. killed God. toxic exes with lucifer. they are the keeper of several giant war birds who occasionally crave human flesh. they enjoy getting rowdy/smoking rope with their boys. they collect rocks that they think are neat. When anyone admits they are attracted to them, Gable trips over their words and absolutely swaglessly ends up sounding stupider and sexier by the end of the conversation; the will they/won't they and teasing they dish out to these (un?)lucky few is palpable. Sometimes the buster sword is on fire. They are immortal, they are cringe, they are trying to atone because they believe they are the reason the world is ruined.

Hector Hu (Friends at the Table: Bluff City):

A priest. A radio DJ. A conspiracy theorist (but many of the conspiracies are probably true). A spy. Regardless, they're charismatic as fuck. Black and Filipino and looks like an older Toro y Moi. Omega love, y'all. Ω🫶

Happy Halloween from Private Party

Kai - Cowboy

"Yeah, I'm a cowboy, but don't ask me for any 'Yeehaws', or ask me to say things like 'pardner', cause I won't. ...Truthfully, I only got the idea for this outfit cause the track I was working on had a Southern theme to it, so I figured... what the hell? Might as well dress the part, right? Plus, my lovely wife is dressed similar, and... well after that question about dressing up as a couple, it only seemed fitting. ...I just hope I can DJ with this hat on. It keeps leaning forward."

"Anyway, take some treats from this ole' cowboy, and have yourselves a good night."

You received a treat!

Wild West Trail Mix. An assortment of dried fruits, nuts and chocolate pieces all mixed together to create a tasty and healthy snack, reminiscent of what cowboys carried on long rides.

Mireya - Southern Belle/Cowgirl

"Howdy there. Can this cowgirl help ya'll out with something? ...Ha, what do you think? Is my Southern accent convincing? I was born in Texas, ya' know? I know I might speak normal now, but trust me, if you heard me when I was child, you'd never know that that was me. My mother always forced me to speak Hispanic, but did she forget I was of mixed heritage? *Sighs* "Anyway, tonight's supposed to be about fun, so I'm not going to ruin it by bringing up the past. So here, take this and have yourself a good night. ...And don't forget to stop by Gypsy's Palace later on!"

You received a treat!

Cowgirl Crunch Bars. Chocolate bars mixed with a variety of crunchy ingredients like pretzels, nuts and caramel, giving it a rugged and hearty texture from a Southern girl.

Zakari - Kyler Aaron/FBI Agent

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of Justice."

"...Pffh... haha! Oh, god! ...See, Joey? I told you I could pull off your friend, Kyler, pretty well! You owe me $100, buddy! I expect to see it next time we meet! Hahaha~"

*Sighs* "Oh, jeez. ...Sorry, I guess I should explain myself. When Joey heard I was having trouble finding a good costume for Halloween, he bet me $100 that I couldn't pull a good imitation of Kyler. So, with a little hair dye, some contact lenses, one of my dad's suits, and whola! Instant FBI agent! ...Hmm, you know, now that I think about it? Who else could I pull off with a little bit of practice? Something to think about."

"Anyway, here! Some treats from your friendly FBI agent! Stay safe out there, kids!"

You got a treat!

Top Secret Treats. These are small, individually wrapped candies with a mysterious flavor, like mixed fruit or assorted flavors to keep people guessing.

Current WIPs (updating list)

Requested WiPs (will generally work on in order they’re sent in):

Heartsteel members with a Vastayan partner Headcanons: I’ve been doing research so I have a better understanding of the Vastaya!

NSFW A-Z with True Damage!Yasuo Headcanon: 😲😲 What’s this? Me stepping into other parts of the LoL Musicverse??? (Lol I know I do like almost all Heartsteel stuff but I am a fan of the other musicverse groups!) I’m gonna do my best to do this request justice for the younger sword DJ brother. (Funny that I haven’t even done one of these yet for Heartsteel!Yone.)

Heartsteel with Reader!Partner that has an obsessive habit Headcanons: So this is super relatable to me as someone with severe anxiety that causes me to have such habits. That being said, I’m going to take a bit to write this one since I know this can be a very sensitive topic. While I wholeheartedly think mental health is something that must be talked about, I want to cover this topic in a way that still allows for people to find my writing to be somewhat of a safe space.

Dad!Heartsteel Yone Headcanon: Specifically GIRL DAD!YONE!!!! Oh I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. I initially saw Yone as a boy dad, but the more I thought about it I was just like….. “Nah this Anon is totally right. I NEED to write Yone with at least one daughter! That’s too cute of a thought.”

Dad!Heartsteel Aphelios Headcanon: This I’m changing up from the pregnant!reader format I’ve been doing for the others. @milksuu (who I’m a big fan of) has such an EXCELLENT one of these for Aphelios already and I really don’t think I could/would add or change much of anything. So for this we’re doing Aphelios with a partner (reader) who is already a single parent!

NSFW Reader distracting Heartsteel!Yone to get attention when it’s fucking late and he’s working.

Non-requested WiPs (will work on as inspired):

Base-lore!Aphelios and Lunari Healer!Reader: I have the concept written down but I need to make an outline and such. I think this might be my next multi-chapter fic?

Something with Base-lore!Yone: This is just a brewing concept at the moment. A little angsty?

NSFW One-shot sequel to The One That Can Break My Heart (My FWB/Base-lore!Ezreal multi-chapter fic): 👀 Like I said in one of the chapters, I enjoy this universe and want to go back to it. Maybe my first attempt at writing smut. Lord help us all.

Kisses with Heartsteel Headcanons: I’m keeping the requested first kiss headcanon to just first kisses. This is more kisses in general.

Heartsteel with a fellow musically-gifted partner Headcanons: Listen as someone who was professionally trained in singing (pro choir and voice lessons), as well as took piano and viola lessons, I’m so excited to write this??

Heartsteel cuddle Headcanons

What it’s like to sleep with Heartsteel Headcanons: As in literally sleep in a bed with each member. SFW!

Some Headcanons for Arcane!Viktor: I haven’t written for him NEARLY enough.

I hope you’re looking forward to what is coming. I know I am! ☺️💙

BIOGRAPHY

tw: gang violence, injury, death

Val was created at a time when the mob was beginning to expand their influence in the city. She was made to be the child (apprentice) to a specialised contract killer on the mob's payroll. His real name was unknown to them, as it was to most people, but they grew up calling him Qrow. She never called him dad.

Qrow's speciality was carrying out hits that looked like accidents—even upon further investigation. He was mainly called in when the mob wanted to take someone out without raising any suspicion of foul play. From a young age, he trained Val in his methods and eventually started bringing them out on jobs with him, turning them into an accomplished criminal before they hit their teens.

When she was 15 years old, the two of them were ambushed while wrapping up a job in the city. A violent confrontation ensued that resulted in Qrow's death and Val barely escaping with their life. Heading to a nearby club, she knocked on the back door with the explanation that she did not want to alarm their patrons, and very calmly asked to be taken to a hospital before losing consciousness.

The man who opened the door, DJ Cruz-Dutton, stayed by their side as they recovered from their injuries. At the end of the day, she was told that she was lucky to be alive, but now has permanent damages to her synthetic body that occasionally makes her limbs—in particular her hands—glitch out.

Especially with Qrow gone, their former employers were relentless in trying to get Val back, but DJ and his wife Dahlia point blank refused to hand them over. This caused a permanent rift between the Duttons and the Dallas mob.

They were officially adopted by the Duttons, joining the ranks with their three older siblings—Ian, Ike, and Zel—as well as their honorary sister Eva.

She learned how to play the guitar as a way of practicing her fine motor skills. Along with her siblings and Eva, they formed a band called Three By Five (jokingly known as Eva and the Train Robbers) in which Val is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. They frequently play at the club where they also all work.

MISC

Val's signature look is two high ponytails, a badass jacket, and a baseball bat with the word 'JUSTICE' on it. (Yes, they are very much inspired by Harley Quinn.)

Evan and Nat (July 15)

I was gonna wait till August to do a reading, but I was so impressed by the anon on @theloverscardtarot that I wanted to see if me and anon would get the same. One thing I love about tarot is that sometimes you can get the same card coming out for someone or the results are nearly the same even if the card is different, so If you haven't read anon result, go read it.

This reading is for entertainment purposes only. Take everything you read with a grain of salt. Enjoy!

Evan POV: Queen of Wands - Independent, cheerful, and confident lover. Opening himself up to others. Greater intimacy.

Nat POV: The Star (side) - (Upright) Optimistic about love life and healing from past wounds. Now, in past readings (you won't find them, they're deleted) I wrote that there's a possibility that she was cheated on. Of course, I don't know what her relationship was like with the DJ guy or if she was with someone after him, but I hope she didn't get cheated on because that sucks. Continuing, always communicate and be honest. She feels blessed to be with Evan.

(Rev) Self-criticism. Lack of confidence. I can't confirm is she does this or not, but got a visual of her checking herself to see what is said about her. Wants to see what fans have to say about her. Pretty sure any girl he dates would do this, but she does this occasionally. Because of this, this causes low confidence for herself. Needs Evan to reassure her. Self-esteem issues. Feeling unworthy from time to time.

Overall: Justice - They (Evan) might not be the most romantic, but he does care and tries his best to show it. Romantic efforts rewarded. Compromise. Treating partner fairly. If there's issues, handle it behind closed doors, and meet in the middle.

High Priestess (side) - (Upright) Lots of sex and drama free. (Rev) Hiding true self from lover. We've got this in previous readings, don't know why Nat or Evan keeps doing this. He/She/They need to stop. Trust your feelings in love and romance. "Avoid taking action or saying words to simply please your lover". Can lead to nothing but resentment. Not always seeing eye to eye.

hey. hey you. tell me all your total drama sexuality/gender hcs (or just whichever ones you wanna tell me)

YIPPEEE okokok

Just gen 1 and 2 because I know ‘em.

Gen 1:

Alejandro: Guy— And I’m not entirely sure, I feel like he’s definitely bi, but also somewhere on the ace or aromantic spectrum? Like I definitely do not think he’s quick to develop genuine feelings for people AT ALL but I feel like simply stating he’s bi OR demiro doesn’t do him justice. He’s somewhere on there though. I can’t tell exactly what.

Sierra: I could see her being bi! she’s certainly into men (although I do acknowledge that her attachment to Cody’s a little bit suspicious- the possibility of her being attached to him for comphet crush reasons is a valid take) but I do like the idea of her also liking girls. She’s cis but she likes she/they in terms of pronouns.

Gwen: Bisexual. For sure. Absolutely. Also, nonbinary and mtf! She/they for this one. I feel she’s bisexual just because she had some pretty awesome chemistry with the girls, and for the rest of it it’s just the vibes.

Trent: Man, and unlabeled. I feel like for some reason he had 3 polyamorous parents (2 dads one mom) and they just kind of like. Made him feel way less pressure round masculinity and the need to figure out stuff like that.

Izzy: Aro any-pronouns lesbian. Absolutely no context here, I have no idea but I just feel like they wouldn’t care all that much what people call em.

Noah: Gay guy. I know this is tried and true but it’s tried and true because it works.

Cody: Cis I do however see tguy Cody and bi-curious. I feel like he had a mild crush on Alejandro and it made him question some stuff, plus ofc being surrounded by so many queer people gave him more means to question himself in a somewhat safe environment.

Leshawna: Acehet! I feel like she’s really knowledgeable on asexuality, too. She’s certainly the type to own a flag for it.

Harold: I wanna say cishet but something feels off about that.

Lindsay: Cishet most likely, no real thoughts on the matter.

Tyler: Oh absolutely bisexual. No straight man sees an attractive guy helping you with no real intention of anything flirtatious and then says ‘I like girls’. Homie that’s nice but what prompted that.

Beth: I’m not sure, I think she either uses the pan or queer label!

Justin: Oh he’s gay. I skipped his season because his voice made me uneasy but that guy’s gay.

Bridgette: Oh she’s so bisexual. I have no clue why, Gidgette is just bi4bi to me. She’s also just got great chemistry with women.

Courtney: Oh, absolutely bisexual and she is extremely torn up about it. You can make your “Little Miss Perfect” jokes there but that is genuinely how I see it, she’s just worried that it’ll make people take her less seriously for some reason if she dates a girl. Gwen helped her feel less shit about it :)

DJ: Oh he’s aroace. No deal reason here either I just love the thought of it frankly. He’s got two mamas btw but everyone knew that.

Eva: Aroace as well, but she and Izzy are in some sort of qpr. She’s romance favorable though and actually really enjoys reading about it.

Ezekiel: Gay and really torn up about it considering he was raised with a lot of imposed gender roles.

Heather: Bisexual. Also torn up about it for similar reasons Courtney is, only to a stronger degree.

Duncan: Queer in some way that he hasn’t quite pinned down. He’s got some serious internalized homophobia and still has some massive lingering issues about it.

Katie: Not sure! Lesbian, I believe.

Sadie: Pan! Not sure. She and Katie are dating.

Geoff: Bisexual, as I said he n Bridgette are bi4bi.

Owen: Bisexual. I’m pretty sure this is blatantly canon considering his… everything in season 1 and world tour.

Okay I’m sending just this for now this got long as hell…

newmusic featuring DJ True Justice

[reasoningdaily]

Tupac Shakur, known best as 2Pac, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The honor comes nearly 27 years after his death.

The ceremony took place on Wednesday, with Shakur’s sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, accepting the honor on his behalf, according to Entertainment Weekly. Radio personality Big Boy hosted the event, celebrating the departed superstar.

“Today, we’re not just honoring a star in the ground, but we’re honoring the work and the passion that he’s put into making his dreams come true,” Set said. “His heavenly star will shine a little brighter today. And once again, he has made us all extremely proud.”

Film director Allen Hughes was also on hand for the occasion, according to The Los Angeles Times. Hughes collaborated with 2Pac on some of his music videos, including “Brenda’s Got a Baby.” He recently directed the 2023 Hulu documentary, “Dear Mama,” chronicling the parallel lives of 2Pac and his mother, the late Afeni Shakur.

Hughes said he’s pleased that 2Pac received a star, even after his death, “’cause that lives on forever.” Rapper YG, producer DJ Quik and comedian-actor Mike Epps also attended the ceremony, the Time reports.

2Pac was celebrated as a talented and polarizing entertainer. He was one of the best rappers of his generation, with hits like “I Get Around,” “California Love,” and “Keep Ya Head Up.” Shakur was also an accomplished actor, starring in films like “Juice,” “Above the Rim” and “Poetic Justice.”

He was killed in 1996 at 25.

Round 2B

The Aqua v. Mattel Lawsuit: Life in plastic is fantastic... but outside of it, mega-corporations are litigious. In 1997, the world was introduced to the Danish-Norwegian group Aqua via their Europop smash hit Barbie Girl; the song was so big, in fact, that Mattel sued the band's American record label MCA over the lyrics and the use of their trademarked shade 'Barbie Pink.' Turns out Lady Justice would not be on Mattel's side as Barbie's original messaging rang true, confirming that girls in the 90s could be anything, including tongue-in-cheek pop performers protected under parody law. Mattel would even petition the Supreme Court (really!) while Aqua and MCA would file a countersuit, but none would find great success in litigation. The whole debacle is best summarized by Judge Kozinski's iconic line, "The parties are advised to chill."

Daft Punk's Homework: If the pop world knew then what we know now, we would've invested even harder (better, faster, stronger.) Homework is the debut album by the French electronic duo Daft Punk who would come to be known not only as pioneers of house music, but for many, as the masked face of it. Featuring the singles Around The World and Da Funk, the album brought the then-underground progressive house music out of the clubs and into the homes of millions. Band members Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had originally given their demo to the DJ at a Eurodisney rave, and in a few years would see bidding wars between major labels before ever releasing a studio album. Homework, which by the duo's admission is comprised of a collection of singles rather than a planned album tracklist, could have been inaccessible to pop music fans disused to instrumental electronica-- instead, it found success Around The World and paved a path forward for the genre.

Another Raging Fic Rec

Listen, I really hate that I do this to you all the time, but ... you've gotta make a choice here ... to read this amazing fic by @whitesilverandmercury called The Talk.

First up, yes, it's mostly Ereri. But there is a hard right straight into Eruri (my OTP) and the Levi/Eren plot, which is entertaining and hot as hell, levels up to some heartbreaking Levi/Erwin truth. The writing is so gorgeous and the dialogue is killer. It's like I was reading a movie. Picture Levi as a jaded radio DJ going through the motions in rainy 2000s Seattle. Levi lives with his off again love Erwin as platonic roommates, and watches as Erwin moves past him in his quest to manifest a straight life and settle down with Petra. Meanwhile, Levi's life has ground to a halt and he can't get the hang of adulting. Does he keep up the crazy sexcapades for the sake of his radio persona on The Talk, or does he put on his big boy panties and face turning 30 like a grown up?

Before Levi can choose a path, he gets sucked into the orbit of UW college sophomore Eren, the Heaven and Hell club's hottest stripper. Jaeger Bomb (of course he's called that) and Levi have a spicy interaction and before you can say Pearl Jam the two are in a whirlwind tit for tat romance. Eren gets free show tickets and mature conversation, and Levi gets public bragging rights about dating a stripper. And you guessed it, neither of them expected to fall in love. Does it magically work out in the end? Yes, and no. There is no romcom ending here, just some real, true twists and turns as these kids figure out some crazy, stupid love.

Hanji, Mikasa, Jean, Armin, Ymir, Reiner and even Pixis all make guest appearances, and I can say with certainty that the way @whitesilverandmercury weaves these characters into 21st century Seattle is nothing short of brilliant. As a Seattleite, and original 90s gal, The Talk just resonates. I've read a LOT of fanfiction starring these idiots, and this is one of my all time favorites. I'm not doing it justice. Just read it.
