thinkin about Astarion mending Wyll's clothes for him but also embroidering something on them when he does. I imagine with all the fighting and traveling Wyll ends up with rips and holes in his clothes pretty often and eventually Astarion gets sick of watching him walk around in tattered clothes (most people likely wouldn't even notice but of course Astarion isn't most people). the first couple times he does it he just mends the damages and gives it back, but maybe one time Wyll ends up with a particularly large rip in his shirt and Astarion decides to take the opportunity to cover the damage with a small bit of embroidery to tidy up the repair. Wyll thanks him for repairing his shirt (again) but then he notices the embroidery and pauses for a moment in both surprise and marvel. "did you do this?" he says, carefully running his thumb over the delicate stitches, he knew it was a bit of a stupid question but he couldn't seem to think of anything else to say. (cont. under the cut bc this got kinda long)

"it was a pretty nasty rip, even with my skillful hands," Astarion flashes Wyll a suggestive grin to emphasize his innuendo but Wyll is still to busy admiring the embroidery in his hands, "I wasn't able to make the repair look presentable on its own, but a bit of embroidery does well enough to cover it up"

"it's beautiful." Wyll breathes.

"yes, well, you're welcome." Astarion retorts, his voice thick with snark to hide how much Wyll's earnest praise flustered him.

Wyll chuckles and thanks him again before they part ways.

the next time Astarion repairs some of Wyll's clothes when he returns the item Wyll once again notices a small patch of embroidery but this time it's somewhere totally unrelated to the damaged area. it's lovely, and he spends a moment admiring it before giving Astarion a questioning look. "there was a stain, I couldn't wash it out so I just covered it up. you're welcome, by the way." Astarion defends, and it's almost believable. it might have been more believable if it didn't keep happening.

every time Wyll hands over a damaged piece of clothing to be repaired, it's returned to him with some new embroidery adorning it. it starts off subtle but after some time he has a collage of embroidery along his left pant leg, starting at his hip and extending further down towards his knee with every repair. the collar and both shoulders of his shirt are adorned with delicate designs in colourful thread. he also, notably, becomes a bit more careful in battle, not wanting to damage Astarion's embroidery.

once, an opponent manages to graze his shoulder with their blade, the cut isn't deep but it slices through his shirt. and through the embroidery. as soon as he glaces over and catches sight of the torn thread, he's furious. he dispatches the enemy quickly and rather ungracefully. when he hands the shirt over to Astarion to be repaired he's positively dejected. "swiped at my shoulder, I didn't manage to deflect it in time, cut straight through the embroidery..."

Astarion clicks his tongue, assessing the damage, "no respect for craftsmanship these days..."

when he returns the shirt most of the old design has been picked out and replaced with a new one. a simpler design, Wyll notes, likely easier to repair if it were to get damaged again. he admires it with the same appreciation as the first. "is your shoulder alright, by the way?" Astarion asks rather suddenly.

"hm? oh, yes, barely grazed it. nothing a bandage and a night or two's rest won't fix."

"good." the silence that follows is almost palpable. so many unspoken words, concern, affection, hanging in the space between them. "well. do try to be more careful." Astarion finally says, then hastily adds "at this rate I'm going to run out of thread before I get a chance to get more."

Wyll smiles softly at him. (so softly it makes Astarion's chest ache) "of course." (the idea that Astarion cares about his safety makes Wyll's chest ache as well)

was watching another totk video and through that found out what the reward is for completing koltins quests, honestly im not really surprised but also baffled and it really just shows, once again, that totk kinda does exactly what you shouldnt do in a sequel imo.. double down on all the bad stuff of the previous title

at this point i have talked about various problems in detail but i just keep realizing over and over just how much of the wrong lesson they seemed to take from botw, they recycled almost everything from botw by changing some paint or some words, made a giant game even bigger and filled it with boring and tedious busy work that has mediocre to insulting rewards EVEN MORE than botw

game too big and empty? make it TWICE as big, change barely anything about the map of the previous title and the new added map(s) is ONE biom that almost everywhere looks the same and even emptier with little to do

too many krogs? MAKE IT MORE and double down on the literally shit reward bc its the SAME just with one more stack of shit

too many shrines with short puzzles? ADD EVEN MORE and make them even shorter and easier to complete, alot of them not even involving a puzzle and multiple being an utterly out of place tutorial that could have been explained to you in a single text box

rewards in the overworld being mostly either a krog or a shrine which gets repetetive with shrines being ALOT and krogs being wayyy too many? add even MORE shrines and EVEN MORE krogs, but now add over a hundred of caves to it that all get repetetive after just a few of them and you only do them for a shrine or a currency you have to collect to get one cool looking but pretty bad to use armor set and a piece of cloth for your parasail that you can only use one of at the tiem and to switch have to go back to a specific NPC, theres ghost lights to collect which only serve to yet again buy one armor set from a set of NPCs and ar meaningless afterwards, the light roots dont require you to do anything but walk to them and the reward for finding them all is a "you did it" sticker that doesnt even stick (its useless)

weapons break too quickly? well make the weapons you can find even worse to force you to fuse a material to it so its at all usable BUT IT STILL BREAKS and when it does it breaks not JUST the weapon but ALSO a material, materials that you will need for now EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE armor upgrades too, weapons cannot be rewards anymore either bc they will always have to be fused with something to make them stronger bc none is strong on its own- this also applies to THE MASTERSWORD, something ALSO complained about that it still 'breaks' even after empowering it through the DLC in botw, and now it cant even BE empowered (bc no DLC) unless you fuse soemthing to it (to. the. MASTERSWORD.) EVEN THO EMPOWERIGN THE MASTERSWORD IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF ZELDAS ULTIMATELY MEANING- AND CONSEQUENCELESS SACRIFICE !!

the dungeons were to samey and simple? make them look different but keep the core structure (activate terminals in completely seperate from each other "puzzles", fight boss) while also makign them be even more skippable (climable walls, the ceiling jump ability- something the titans DIDNT have) with incredibly easy bossfights that end with an embarassing copy and paste scene that hits you over the head with long known and obvious information over and over

people didnt like how the story was so detached from everything in the present? well, make the story and the present EVEN MORE detached from anything in the present, so far in fact that there is literally no connection to it aside from zelda who is the only connective thread and is also only treated as such (she is as personality lacking as sonia as soon as shes yoinked into the past) and the suddendly and out of nowhere intruduced architecture and history that wasnt a thing in botw but is treated like it was always there

people didnt like how far botw was detached from all other zelda games? ok totk is not only FURTHER detached from those it also completely detached itself from its on predecessor :)

people didnt like the memory system? ok make it WORSE then, its a linear story now that you can ruin by seeing even one out of order, they are super short and dont give you anymore context to anythign than the things you could figure out yourself or were already told really, instead of giving you views into a characters personality you get to view a basic plot summary of a story that is so flavorless and predictable i knew what would happen from the start yet acts like its being vague and cool that i felt like i was beign treated like a literal toddler

too few enemy types? well, we will reuse the old ones EVEN MORE thant before over twice the map and the new ones that are there are either utterlly irrelevant to change up the gameplay or largely feel like the old ones just with a paint job (constructs), the griocks looked cool at first but are just a more annyoing version of the lynels (who feel like an actual duel, akin to a proper boss)

even the things that were adressed, or attempted to, didnt fully work, like the bosses ARE more unique, but also still so incredibly easy and ALSO have multiple duplicats just sitting around in the underground despite them being supposedly the root of the problems of the regions (i like refighting bosses, but id rather have a character that lets me choose ok i wann fight this one again and teleporte me into a vision or sth- also the most fun fights arent even part of it (koga) )

the rain complaint got a new effect type to counteract it, which ... doesnt work well, you need specific materials to make potions with that effect which you also need to upgrade the only armor set wit hthat effect that ONLY works once you upgrade it (i think ... i dont know how high i got it but if even the full upgraded set doesnt negate the rain effect i will not be surprised either lol) also it adds just yet another effect type that spams your inventory and you dont really need .... or i might be the only one that saw no value at all in the "attack up when hot" new type of effects bc it felt so specific and situational while also having a way better option (just make it a standard attack up thing?) at least in my eyes-

... ill stop here .... this got longer again didnt it O-o

PSA: Why I Am Boycotting Kpop (& how)

So. I love kpop. Its been a big part of my life for a few years now. But I'm boycotting. Why?

Well to put it simply, its because of the 🍉Palestine genocide🍉 *A lot* of these k-entertainment companies are directly & indirectly supporting Zionism/Israel, including monetarily.

Like most, I think, I only found out about this whole thing in Oct '23, so its now that I'm choosing to boycott in hopes of helping.

This is NOT an "attack" on anyone. Not a certain group, not even a certain label.

I am boycotting *everyone* personally. Officially, the popular boycott is the big 3 & HYBE. However I know that another company, Kakao Ent is also a huge Zionist offender (also I just saw that they invest in a blockchain too...? So yeah, ew). So to make it easier for myself, I am boycotting all of kpop.

I also have no issue w/ the artists themselves. I do not do this out of any hate/fan wars. I am not assuming/accusing them of being Zionists. I know, they are celebs but they work for the company. They have to obey their bosses, so while I would like more of the artists to openly speak in support of Palestine, I am not holding it against them.

Its just that, any $ the artist makes, goes straight to the company. & I don't like what these companies are doing w/ my $.

(Btw, it rly is about the companies. So for ex HYBE America has the artist Ariana Grande. I am boycotting her too, its just that I've never been a huge fan. I rly, rly like kpop. So that is why I am focusing on it. Its meaningless to say u are boycotting something that you never bought/consumed in the 1st place)

And just to note; I don't want to hear anything about "keeping politics out of kpop". These companies are *not* disconnected from the issue. & saying that "I'm not Palestinian so its not my problem" is extremely cruel.

Links & more info below-

Twt thread [X]

For Stays [X]

Twt link 2 [X]

Twt thread about Starbucks (TLDR; Not the same as McDonalds aka not directly contributing to Zionism, but they are still anti-union & treat their workers shitty, so still boycott) [X]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you also want to stop/reduce streaming, here is how I'm doing it

I'm not saying that u have to completely stop interacting w/ ur fav artists. I'm not. I'm just trying to minimize my interactions w/ official content, like streaming, videos ect.

So the 1st thing; Get comfortable w/ sketchy looking websites & piracy!!!

Like I know, now that everything is readily available on (monetized) platforms, its hard to make the switch! Its hard to even know where to start. But there still are a lot of tools out there to do it.

Here are the basic things-

"yewtu . be"

*** (edit: the website shows .com, but the actual address is .in) "ilkpop . in"

(remove spaces, I'm not putting links bc that is how u get illict sites taken down, i think...)

Google drive

The app "Musicolet" (for mobile listening)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is this website "yewtu . be" that you can use to watch yt vids w/out adding to the views/ad revenue. I've only used it on desktop, so idk how well it works on mobile. Sorry. Btw, sometimes it can not work, but it has options to switch the source to one that works. I have not tried making an acc, so idk how secure that is, but just using it to watch things seems ok.

As for streaming/downloading mp3, there is another website "ilkpop . in" it has most official releases. U can stream right from the site, or download mp3.

When downloading (I did this all on desktop btw) I would recommend the extension "TabBlock", it prevents opening any new tabs. So u do have to toggle it on/off.

So I downloaded the songs as mp3 files from that website, uploaded them to my Google drive & then downloaded them to my phone from there. These files surprisingly don't take a lot of room, I have currently 471 songs that are only 1.63 GB

The app I'm using to listen on mobile is Musicolet. 1st time using it for about a month & I like it. Its free, it plays local downloaded files, so no need for internet & most importantly it will continue to play the songs while the screen is off. For free. W/ no ads. U can also still make playlists. It has more settings & customization stuff.

This is based on my personal experience, so I use desktop (windows) & android devices. This is all I know. Don't be too scared about the looks of the sites. I haven't gotten any viruses, but u might wanna make sure u have installed an antivirus. The one I use is Avast, the free version is ok. It does have a subscription & ads but its not too annoying.

cw: dbf (dads best friend) jake bc he’s been on my mind heavy, oral m!receiving, age gap, about 15 years but reader is obviously over 18 ! gn reader, jake calls reader a slut (yummy) 👍🏼

you should have never gotten tangled up in this mess, sneaking out late at night from your family marui, only to have a clandestine meeting with jake. with your fathers best friend, a man who was nearly fifteen years your senior. eywa, this was so fucked.

it all started accidentally, your father had taken it upon himself to train jake, to help him adjust to life in the reefs but being chief sometimes came with unexpected emergencies that needed to be dealt with. so he asked you to spar with jake, take over the lesson for the day.

It ended with the two of you tangled in each other, his name falling stupidly out of your mouth as his cock pistoned itself in and out of you. the two of you parting, almost shamefully after what transpired between the two of you. avoiding each other at all cost, both in a silent agreement that it would never happen again.

but that had been weeks ago, you had lost count of how many times the two of you had now found relief within each other as the time passed. it didn’t matter, not anymore. anytime he touched you, it was like a fire started within you and he was the way to put it out.

which is how you found yourself in this current situation. your eyes watered as he threaded his fingers through your hair, his cock stretching your lips apart as drool leaked out the sides of your plump lips. “fuck-look at you.”

you looked absolutely debauched, his cock twitching inside of your throat as you gagged at the intrusion. you had done this so many times, and it never got easier. your breathing had started coming out in heavy burst through your nose as he kept you tight against his pelvis. he was forcing your throat to make space for him, and you were all too eager to comply.

there was nothing you loved more than feeling the weight of his cock on your tongue, and jake often found himself using that to his advantage. Your eyes practically rolling to the back of your head as he pushed down harder, the tip hitting the back of your throat before he pulled out.

a quiet whine falling from your mouth as you chased after him. “such a little slut, already so cock drunk and all i’ve done is stuff it down your throat.”

you didn’t respond, only taking him back into your mouth and enjoying the soft grunt that left his mouth. “what would your daddy say if he saw you like this, hm?”

your eyes widened at his words, blinking up at him dumbly as your face burned up, “he’d be so disappointed seeing what you get up to late at night.”

jake cooed softly down at you, laughing hard as he stared down at your fucked out expression. you had always been so good, the thrill of sneaking around, of ever getting caught caused a nervous chill to run down your spine.

you weren’t sure if you should be scared and pull away, or be excited over the fact that no one knew all the ways jake repeatedly took you. like now, with his cock down your throat.

you decided the latter was more enticing, a deep sense of growing need coiling in your stomach as you sucked harder. an almost startled moan fell from jake's mouth as he felt your new found determination. you were so sloppy, rolling your tongue on the underside of his cock, taking him as deep as you could despite the way your throat burned at the stretch.

“fuck-you like that don’t you. you wanna get caught, yeah?”

all you could do was watch him with watery eyes, your response coming out in gags as he moaned out curse words, griping at the back of your head so you took him deeper.

Omg wait, you have so many fandoms I love, ok, ok could you make like a list of characters from theses shows and what they’d be? Like regressed, caregiver, ect? (So I can send asks based on that) I’m so excited right now

Arcane, Detroit Become Human, Last airbender, Our flag means death, and Six of crows/shadow and bone

happy 2024! this has been in my inbox forever but looks super fun to do! here’s my take on what characters would be regressors/caregivers for arcane, dbh and atla. I totally wrote way more than I expected to but here u are! <3 I’ll do a separate post for ofmd and soc bc they have so many characters I have opinions on.

Agere Character Headcanons

(Arcane, D:BH, ATLA)

(jinx is me cooking up this thread)

Arcane

Vi: As much as she’d be a wonderful caregiver, she’s absolutely a regressor. Being small reminds her of days spent with her parents and Powder, family trips to the fish markets of the coast and sunny days building sand castles at the beach. She tends to be on the older side, a natural tendency from a life spent as the older sibling, taking care of Powder. Vi’s a very active and vivacious little, playing outdoors and hanging off Caitlyn’s shoulders. Loves physical touch, hugs and high fives are the way to go.

Caitlyn: Caregiver all the way! I think she loves kids in general, and despite her awkward nature and sheltered upbringing, she finds it easy to take charge and step into the role of a protector. Definitely looks after Vi and is oftentimes too concerned about her safety. She loves taking the little out to the playground and to eat at Jericho’s food stall (even if she still refuses to eat a bowl of slop herself).

Jinx: Tiniest, cutest, moodiest little troublemaker there is. Jinx regresses to about four or five years old, and absolutely bounces off the walls at all hours of the day. She’s not the quiet, sweet child she once was as Powder, but rather gets herself into trouble and feigns innocence. She loves to annoy both Silco and Sevika, clambering on the latter’s lap and hiding under Silco’s desk for games of hide and seek. Her mood changes rather drastically as well, as she can go from completely happy to hyperventilating sobbing from anything as simple as scraping a knee to refusing bedtime.

Jayce: He’s a very attentive and high strung caregiver. Looking after Viktor is much easier than Caitlyn, Silco, or Sevika’s jobs, but Jayce always fusses over the little. He’s quick to scoop him up whenever it’s deemed necessary, and goes to Mel for help when he needs another pair of hands. Jayce loves caregiving because it gives him something to focus on other than his responsibility to Piltover, and enjoys simple play with his little like story time and building blocks.

Viktor: Super small and quiet regressor! Viktor can get very young, and has no qualms with depending on Jayce for help when he’s little. He likes to be snuggled up on a couch in a mound of blankets and is also content to sit and watch Mel paint the ships that go by the balcony of her apartment. Viktor is sweet and shy and doesn’t tend to verbalize his needs, but because Jayce is so attentive they mesh well together.

Detroit: Become Human

Kara: Caregiver. Need I expand? It’s in her coding in the first place to protect and nurture. Upon her deviance, Kara realizes that even if she was made for it, she can still reclaim that part of herself for herself. She is quick to console whomever her little may be, and projects the kindest and warmest energy to the person she’s taking care of. Kara enjoys making up her own stories, and loves playing make believe with her regressor.

Connor: One hundred percent a regressor. This little guy was shy and uncertain when he first started regressing, as he didn’t know what ‘normal’ behaviour from a deviant was, let alone how to process all the new emotions he was feeling. Connor loves to spend time at Hank’s house with Sumo, revelling in the feeling of the dog’s fluffy fur and laughing happily when he teaches Sumo all sorts of tricks. Connor is usually happy when regressed, but struggles with anxiety and asking for help. Hank is always there to walk Connor through his big feelings and encourages him to use his words.

Markus: He’s one of the most chaotic caregivers there is. You picked the pacifist route in the game? Doesn’t matter. This guy is unhinged when it comes to caregiving. Spoiling his little at any time possible, letting them stay up hours past their bedtime, giving them candy for breakfast and encouraging colouring on the walls. He spent so many years being exactly who Carl wanted him to be while also tasting freedom through Carl’s art that it brings him so much joy to see a regressor’s eyes sparkle when he says yes to whatever their heart desires. He’s also amazing at comforting a regressor. Big hugs and gentle eyes!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Katara: Is a caregiver! Incredibly kind yet less patient than one (Sokka) might hope. Katara is quick to caution her little, always on the lookout for anything that they might hurt themselves with or on. But this doesn’t mean she hates fun! She adores the beach and using her bending to splash around, and is always ready to get her little an extra blanket or any snacks they ask for. She’s super sweet and falls into the role of a caregiver like she was made for it. Katara has even sewed a plushie or two as gifts, and has a knack for settling a regressor in front of a crackling fire and braiding their hair before bedtime.

Sokka: Regressor for sure. Even though he’s a big brother he never let go of his goofy side, and it plays into so much of his behaviour when he’s regressed. He’s on the older side, around 6-8, and has so much energy he doesn’t know where to put it all. Queue him running around for hours, laughing at absolutely anything that Aang says and bothering Toph just so she’ll play with him. Sokka doesn’t cry, even when he takes a tumble (which is quite often) but is fussy when he doesn’t get his way. He’s a troublemaker, but his beaming smile lets him get away with plenty.

Aang: Honestly I think he’s a caregiver, but is more like a fun uncle than any other label. His sage airbender wisdom doesn’t come through often, which means he’s all about fun all the time. His childish side matches a little like Sokka’s constant energy, and he seems to vanish into a cloud of smoke when any tears come his way. And how did Sokka and Zuko get chocolate all around their mouths, you ask? Well, there’s no one to ask because Aang’s just taken off on his glider on some very important business.

Zuko: LITTLE! REGRESSOR! TINY! Oh my goodness, he’s the first fictional character that I ever headcanoned as a regressor. There’s no need to delve into his trauma here, but the boy is in such a desperate need of healing his childhood that he regressed long before he even knew what it was. Regresses very young, between 2-5. Before meeting the Gaang he’d hang off of Uncle’s shoulder during Pai Sho tournaments on his ship and would shyly ask the crew members to play songs during music nights. His tough demeanour disappears completely when he’s regressed and he turns into a shy boy that is insistent on doing things himself and is quick to cry when he’s unable to, for example, wrap his robes the way he wants. Zuko has a turtleduck plushie that Katara sewed for him after Aang asked him what his favourite animal was and Sokka caught him cuddling up to Appa at night. Sweetest boy in the whole world.

Toph : Caregiver! Matches more with Aang’s style of caregiving than Katara’s, but still lands somewhere in the middle. Her earthbending gives her the ability to pick up on every tiny emotion that a regressor feels, and it means she’s prepared and in tune with every need, happy or unhappy, that someone needs. She tends to playfully tease Zuko and Sokka, but knows exactly where to draw the line with either boy based on the rhythm of their heart. Toph helps Aang when it comes to letting the boys do something Katara has specifically told them they’re not allowed to, and will always feign innocence when confronted by the eldest caregiver.

Ninjago hcs

Kai's(Smith-Jiang family's) eye color hcs:either amber,brown or sea-green eyes just like Maya's,while Nya has brown(I think this one is canon) and Ray has amber/brown eyes

After unmerging with the sea Nya's eyes started changing colors to match the nearest body of water:sea-green when near the ocean,grayish when near something like a bottle of water or sink water and etc.They will also turn glowing blue when she uses her powers on a large scale (they once turned blood-red bc she was treating an injury and blood has water in it)

Post-Crystallized:sometimes parts of her body would turn into liquid during the adjusting to being a human again(during which her eyes would be white like the foam)

After unmerging with the sea her powers became even more stronger and easier to control.After all,Nya was one with them for an entire year

The reason Nya couldn't get out the water in Jay's lungs during Seabound was because all of it kept responding,including blood and the water in Jay's body and she couldn't risk drawing out too much water and/or blood to help Jay

Pixal has Jay saved in her contacts as "extra charger"

The pink clothes Nya wore during Prime Empire shorts were given to her by Cole(they used to be Lilly's)

Nya makes the best coffee,not even Zane can match her skill there and surprisingly enough, Cole is a close second when it comes to drinks

The public didn't know Nya used to be Samurai X until a new one showed up and ninja had to answer some questions during interviews

Kai is a history nerd

All the ninja know basic first-aid,though Nya and Zane are the best medics.Kai is/was good with taking care of dragons

For a while after he learned that he was a nindroid,Zane didn't know how his body functioned beyond the basics.It's after HoT that he started learning more about himself instead of relying on Pixal,Jay or Nya all the time

All the ninja wear a bracelet that is made of interwined threads of their colors (gray for Nya,purple for Pix,gold for Wu and the rest are obvious)

Nya loves animals(this one is based on Wu's teas ep and how she seemed to like Zippy in the Island)

All the ninja+Pix see Wu as a father figure(even if some of them already have fathers)

Same with Misako

Mrs.Benedict constantly scares Lloyd by appearing out of nowhere in the weirdest places

Mrs.Benedict loves Nya and Pixal the most out of the entire group

After Seabound-Crystallized Nya always smells like sea and the salty air of the beach

Wu and Misako are best friends(the love triangles/angles in ninjago are a pain,so I'm ignoring them),but when it comes to history they're rivals worse than Oni and Dragons,FSM and Overlord combined.It's always fun for the ninja to watch their debates(especially when Misako is right bc those are the times when Wu says that he was there when the events happened)

Garmadon and Maya were best friends,same with Ray and Wu

Wu is Kai's godfather,Garmadon and Misako are Nya's

Wu anonymously helped Smith-Jiang siblings when he heard that their parents were gone,but he didn't take them in for two reasons: he wasn't doing well after Garm's banishment and he didn't have a legal identity to prove that he could take the siblings(not that it would have stopped him,but the first point stands)

Jay and Nya weren't in a relationship until s6, they weren't a couple during or before s3,but did go on dates or hangouts

Nya has a green burn-scar thing from Tiger Widow venom

Nya misses being a part of the sea and hates herself for it

Zane sometimes missed the cold of the Never-realm and how close he was to his element as Ice Emperor

Nya still has marks all over her body from merging with the sea and sometimes they glow

Elemental masters are naturally more durable and stronger than humans(the reason Cole managed to survive the Oni clouds) and once they master their powers,they age slower too (they look younger than they actually are)

✧･ﾟ A short and easy workaround for Reblogs with Beta & XKit Rewritten

Disclaimer: This also seems to work with old Legacy-Threads when reblogging with the new Beta-Editor bc XKit Rewritten doesn’t work with Legacy. The whole trimming order and process of both combined can be confusing, but it’s important so the post doesn’t get fucked up. So technically, it's also helpful for Beta-Reblogging in general.  (video below)

SO, IF YOU WANT TO AVOID DOUBLE-POSTING of your own reblog, do the following:

Hit reblog (make sure you’re using Beta).

Enter reply, whatever.

Safe to drafts.

Remove the first post with Trim Reblogs.

Safe.

Refresh drafts.

Remove your own reply that now shows twice with the Beta-Editor. You will only have one option to remove here, so that makes it easy.

Refresh.

Tadaaa.

In this way you can preserve your partner's reply if you want to, since the blockquote-format won't work like that anymore. So hopefully, reblogs with the Beta-Editor & XKit Rewritten should be easier now for you and your partners without having to move your whole Legacy-Thread to a new post after this measure. I am very nostalgic over my old stuff, so that's a reason why I don't want to do it. If you have additions or experience possible errors, feel free to add them.

hellos. dusting off my old sideblog to throw up this request bc that feels like a good idea. i've responded to a couple other searches, so i'm realistically not looking to take on too many more. little bit about me, i'm a 29 man, live in the central timezone [ i think technically it's cdt bc it's currently july... but don't quote me on that ], used to consider myself a reader reader but me and the books have been beefing these past few months so that isn't occurring as frequently. maybe because i've been giving rp more attention. i've been rping since at least 2009, but most of that has was on forums like proboards/invisionfree/jcink. i have only recently really been a discord rp girlie

really only looking for m/m plots at this time. mayhaps one day i will go back to doing hetero ships, but for the time being that's not really something that interests me. i don't have a robust collection of muses that i pull out of rotation, that's just never been how i rp... if you see a guy on my main blog [ blakegallo ] the odds are that i would use them as a face. because i cut my teeth on forums i do typically only use actors, musicians, and the occasional model as faces; i typically steer clear of people who social media people. it's really just a matter of personal preference. i am willing to consider a fandom based rp, but would prefer something that is more oc x oc.

as far as preferences go i do write in the third person past tense. i don't really have any interest in breaking the discord message character limit for replies. i would never do a one liner, but a nice well developed paragraph or two is usually good enough for me. i like there to be something to respond to and get a nice back and forth going. i've seen a lot in my decade plus in the rp community and i've definitely done responses that are what the girlies call novella length now and that's just not something i'm super invested in returning to at this time. i don't have any interest in rping in dms, i think that things are just more organized in a private server. i also prefer for new threads to be individual channels just because i find that easier to scroll back through than one general channel, but that's me. i am a tupperbox girlie... and so i do have a slight preference for using them. it's not a requirement by any means, i have more 1x1s that don't use them currently than do, but just throwing that out there. i also find that doing something mumu is just easier for me with the tupperbot, but we can make it work if you aren't for it.

as a sidenote, i also do really love text threads. in my time perusing the the tags i'm not sure if this common because so many of the requests i see are for the novella level girlies. but sometimes i might have time for some quick banter between our characters. i also find that characters texting leads to where a next thread should go. as a vibes girlie i just like letting the characters sort things out sometimes than us as muns going back and forth figuring out where the plot should take them next.

plotting for me tends to be more organic. i really don't like to get too far ahead of ourselves. to me it's like writing a romance novel, we know these characters are eventually going to get together, but the journey to that destination can be whatever we make for it. so the ups and downs and angst along the way is what makes it fun. obviously i'm all for tossing ideas back and forth about how we think we should handle something or where we should go next, but i don't really have any interest in outlining the whole journey and then just hitting the beats.

so please be 21+, 25+ honestly would be even better and like this if you're interested. i might read the occasional high fantasy book, but that's not a thing i am all that interested in. i might be up for something vaguely paranormal, but i'm really more a regular person writer. give me the lives and the rich and famous or mess happening in suburbia... i'll reach out from my main blog in tumblr dms and we can go from there if we think it could be a good fit.

What would the boys do if they met one or more au versions of the person they’re with/interested in?

tbh, a some of the boys have. most bc they'r with their Grillbys and Toriels.

they'v met each others Grillbys and Toris many times.

(this got long, so under the read more it goes.)

Tic gets very flustered around Tac's Grillby. And Grillbz doesn't help. He flirts with him a lot. Enjoys making his skull light up with his teal magic (not as much as he does Tac. but Tic's a lil easier). Tac ofc doesn't mind, and finds it hilarious.

He also gets a lil flustered around Tac's Tori, but she spares him on the flirts (for the most part).

Depending on the person, he might react similarly to a y/n's au version.

Tac on the other hand is the one flirting when he's around Tic's Grillby. Grillby isn't so easy to fluster, but sometimes Tac'll get him and his flames will flare up and spark, and he'll turn away to hide his face. Tac enjoys being the one flustering Grillby for once instead of the other way around. Even if it isn't his Grillby.

He'll flirt with Tic's Tori, but he's actually a lil flustered around her. Maybe not as much as his Tori, but. this one's like his but even softer. sweeter. He feels like a jagged, spiky rock next to a ball of fluff. She makes him feel mushy inside. (His Tori definitely teased him for this when he told her.)

Depending on the y/n, he's likely to (at least) flirt with an alternate version, but only if his is ok with it.

Tic and Tac still feel kinda weird seeing Tou's Grillby and Toriel. They're similar, but so different.

Tou ofc also feels kinda weird seeing the other's, but he's more used to it, as most of the aus he visits are like that. And he does love meeting them. (He is still kinda flustered by Tac's Grillby, and both Toris.)

For a y/n, again it depends, but regardless he'd be very happy and exited to meet another of his partner. He'd be sad if the new y/n didn't like him at first, but he'd be determined to befriend them.

Snaps is a whole 'nother case. He ofc doesn't have a Tori or a Grillby, but he's met two alternate versions of his boyfriend Kelek so far, and the first thing he did both times was flirt with them. The first one, he flirted with before he even realized who he was. (You can read his meeting Seabun here: (fic thread link) Me and Skelekins are still in the process of writing his meeting the newer one, Scar, but you can read what we have so far here: (fic thread link) These are two very different cases. While Seabun's is pure fluff, Scar's is very gory and suggestive so far, so please keep that in mind if u decide to read.)

With anyone else, he would react similarly. Flirting with them, as long as his partner's ok with it.

CONVERSATIONS FROM THE COFFEE SHOP

SUMMARY: Scenes from Art Heist, Baby! Sirius post Copenhagen (do not read this if you haven't read ahb! and wanna avoid spoilers!!)

WORD COUNT: 3.2k "Your absence has gone through me Like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its colour."  - Separation, W.S. Merwin

(okay, this is based off of an ask by @signofthereads except I toned down the sadness factor by a lot and I wrote it in a day, so it's staying on tumblr. but i wrote it to give ahb! sirius a little more room grieve bc i felt like he needed that.)

One.

Sirius comes to on the aeroplane- if you can call it that. His mouth is dry and his throat is sore when he attempts to swallow, and he aches like someone reached in and ripped out his heart from his chest cavity. He’s struggling to keep his eyes open and his head feels muddied and murky. Any coherent thought keeps slipping just out of his grasp, in between his fingertips and back into the muddied waters of his subconscious. As best he can, he glances down and sees that his clothes are covered in blood and he feels Remus gripping his arm next to him as if his life depends on it. Even when Sirius can’t catch his thoughts, even when his bones feel weighed down like his marrow is made of cement, even when he can barely keep his eyes open, he would know Remus anywhere. Still, he tries his best to lean over and look at Remus anyway. His head rolls a bit on his neck, too heavy to hold up, so he’s met with the bottom of Remus’ shirt. Tiny splatters of drying, browning blood littered the bottom of it. Sirius’ chest aches, and he’s trying to catch his thoughts, and he’s trying to speak but his words keep getting stuck in his sandpaper throat. 

Shot, he thinks nonsensically and his eyes widen in fear as his breathing comes out more rapid and shallow. That explains the blood and the burning in his chest and why he feels so disoriented. His thoughts all rush forward with a brief surge of clarity. He’s been shot. 

Oh God, he’s been shot. 

He tries his best to look around for Regulus but his thoughts are getting slippery again and his eyelids feel much too heavy to keep open. 

“Regulus left me again,” he tries to tell Remus but his voice comes out distorted, warped and too slow. This must be why it hurts so much. “They shot me.” 

“What?” Remus asks, still gripping Sirius’ arm tightly. He’s holding on, but Sirius has no intention of going anywhere.

He lets his eyes close. It’s easier this way. 

He tries to repeat what he said but he only makes it halfway through the sentence.  

“Peter gave you something,” Remus’ voice swirls in his mind. “A sedative, I think, to get you to stop screaming. We can–” 

But Sirius doesn’t hear the rest as he fades back into his murky subconscious. 

Two.

People were buzzing around him all in a flurry, all like flies, and they were moving much too fast for Sirius’ brain to comprehend but he was back in his flat. The lights were too bright and the air was stuffy and the entire place that he had called home and yearned for had been unlived in for so long that it felt unlivable. Everything felt unlivable.  

Remus had set him down in the tub, clothes and all, and turned on the water so hot that steam started to rise from it. 

Shows what he knows, Sirius thought to himself as he waded through his convoluted thoughts. You’re supposed to burn the clothes after a crime like this takes place. Barty and Evan are going to be furious.  

Then, Remus starts scrubbing. He scrubs and scrubs and scrubs and Sirius watches the blood smear off his skin and swirl into the water in crimson splotches, like pastels bleeding from a canvas.  

As he watches all his blood swirl down the drain Sirius thinks this must be what being baptised feels like. Being made clean. Rebirth. He hopes Remus scrubs his skin until it’s raw, he hopes Remus can wash the last 24 or so hours off of him. He wants to be something new again. He wants to be something light. Sirius would do the scrubbing himself except his bones are still much too heavy to be of any use and his head is still too murky to feign coherency. 

It wasn’t until Remus began unbuttoning his shirt with shaky fingers and Sirius looked down to inspect the bullet wound in his chest that he realised the blood wasn’t his own. Pale skin, inky black tattoos, but no wound. No bullet hole. Which of course made sense. Because if he was shot then he’d be at a hospital or with Peter or somewhere other than a bathtub being scrubbed clean. How had he gone all this time thinking that he had been injured? That the blood was his?   

No.  

No, this wasn’t his blood at all. He had been confused before, but now he wasn’t. His thoughts came crashing in and shattered against his skull, leaving their splintered jagged edges embedded in his mind. 

It was his brother’s blood. It was Regulus’ blood. 

Oh God, he’s been shot. 

Remus was staring back at Sirius with a tear-stained face. He looked as panicked as Sirius felt and his mouth was moving but Sirius couldn’t hear any words. Why couldn’t he hear what Remus was saying? When had Remus stopped scrubbing him clean? 

Instead, strong thumbs were wiping under Sirius’ eyes, collecting all his tears. Steam curling up towards the ceiling in foggy wisps. Water tinged slightly pink with his blood. No, with his brother’s blood. The ache in his chest. Their blood. A calloused hand over his mouth. Remus’ panicked gaze, gravelly voice, and a ringing in his ears. 

It was only then that Sirius realised he had been screaming.

That night, he sleeps in Remus’ arms. He smells like soap but he doesn’t feel clean. 

Peter’s medicine doesn’t stop the dreams, though they’re just as muddled as his waking thoughts were.  

He dreams about being little again. Regulus is high up in a tree with his feet dangling from a branch. He’s a little too high for comfort. He’s a little too little to know he’s in danger. But Sirius knows. Sirius knows it’s his job to watch him, and it’s his job to keep him safe. He calls out to Regulus from the ground, but Regulus can’t hear him. No matter how loud Sirius yells, Regulus can’t hear him. He just keeps swinging his legs and laughing as the wind blows through his hair, and Sirius gets a sickly feeling in his stomach. He knows without knowing that Regulus is about to fall– he can feel it in the air, but he’s powerless to stop it from his spot on the ground. Sirius can feel the sharp sting of panic, but the dream ends before anything happens. 

He dreams about an ugly lamp from a wretched cousin and the laughs it inspired, he dreams about Paris in chalky washed-out tones, he dreams about sliding down the stairs with his brother in their parent's house on rugs that cost more money than a year’s salary, and he dreams about his mother which hasn’t happened in almost half a decade. In all of these dreams, Regulus is there. In all of these dreams, he’s still a small child. But the recurring dream that plagued his subconscious that night was free of Regulus entirely.

It was a hazy, panicked, and anxious dream where Sirius was all grown up, all alone, stumbling around his flat. He was late. He was so late, but he couldn’t find his keys. As time continued to pass he became increasingly distressed. For some reason, he knew that this was his last chance. He had to be on time. He knew that he had to meet Regulus for coffee but as he wandered hurriedly throughout his place, tearing apart pillows and rummaging through drawers and closets looking for his keys, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Regulus was already gone– that he wouldn’t be at the coffee shop at all, that Sirius had failed somehow and let him down, and that he missed his last chance. 

Three.

The thing about Regulus is that he was always so self-assured in Sirius’ mind. He remembers when they were younger and Walburga made them clean out all the cupboards in the kitchen. They had to take out every jar and box and can so they could dust and scrub the cupboards spotless. 

Halfway through the process, Sirius began feeling overwhelmed looking at the mess from the cupboards that was now sprawled out on the counters and the tables and the tiled floor. 

“We’ve worked so hard and it just looks like we made everything worse. It’s a bigger mess than when we started,” he sighed, already imagining how furious Walburga would be with the both of them when she returned home to see her kitchen in utter disarray. 

He watched as Regulus scrambled down from the counters to stand beside him and observe the scene. 

“Sometimes,” Regulus began with a shrug of youthful indifference. “Sometimes things have to get worse in order to make them better. They’re not good right now, but we’re almost ready to put all the things back and they’ll get better again.” 

Regulus always spoke that way– with absolute certainty. If he was going to do something, he did it, without fail. If he was going to say something, he meant it. If he was going to promise something, he kept it.

“This is the last heist Sirius, this is the one.”

Four.

The thing about Sirius is that he never could remember what life was like without Regulus. There was a time, however brief, when there had only been Sirius. But he had no memory of that time. As far back as he could go to pinpoint his earliest memory, Regulus was always there.

He remembers the surge of pride he felt when Andromeda said Regulus looked just like him. How people could see, just by looking at them, that they were from the same place, that they were connected. There was a time when Sirius was just Sirius, but then Regulus was born, and they had the same nose and the same laugh and the same funny way of quirking their eyebrows when something confused them. That’s all Sirius could remember, that connectedness, and it was that connectedness that shaped the way Sirius thought. 

His inner monologue began reflecting his outer monologue in that didactic way that all older siblings seemed to be born with. It was never ‘here’s what I’m going to do’ but always ‘here’s what we’re going to do.’ and ‘here’s why we have to do it.’ When he spoke to Walburga or Orion it was always ‘why we feel’ and ‘why we did it.’ 

Even after Sirius left, even when he hadn’t seen Regulus in months, even when he felt like he was entirely alone, it was always ‘we.’ 

Sometimes he would feel foolish, and he’d forget who the other person was in his head that he was referring to. But it never took him long to remember it was Regulus.

The fact that Regulus was out there was enough. They were still connected, even when Sirius wished they weren’t, even when he tried to forget that they were. 

In the aftermath of Regulus’ death, there was no more ‘we.’ Sirius tried to tell himself that it was just like all the other days when he and Regulus weren’t together, when they weren’t talking. That he could pretend.

But he couldn’t. 

Death had settled in and cut all the invisible strings tying them together, leaving Sirius in a perpetual state of freefall. Because Regulus was no longer out there, in Paris with Orion or travelling to some far-off museum. Sirius knew exactly where he was, he was buried in the Earth, under six feet of soil, and it wasn’t enough. 

There was a time when Sirius was just Sirius, but when Regulus was born there was an unspoken promise that the universe had made with him that Sirius would never be just Sirius again. That a little brother meant the promise of a ‘we.’ Whether they were speaking or not, whether they lived close to each other or far away, they were from the same place, they grew up the same way, and there would always be a ‘we.’ But then the universe went back on its promise. Who was he if he wasn’t constantly worrying about Regulus? Who was he if he was no longer in charge of keeping Regulus safe? Who was he if he was no longer an older brother? The unfathomable had happened, and now Sirius was just Sirius and somehow less himself than he had ever been.

Five.

Sirius runs his finger over the grey headstone again and again in some masochistic ritual he can’t quit. 

He feels the word take form underneath his finger.

Brother. 

He’s done this so many times that he’s already worried he’ll wear the stone down so that word will be smooth and illegible in less than five years. 

In the early days, that’s all he does. He traces the word brother over and over again and he weeps.  

Sometimes he weeps because Regulus will never get any older than he is now. In Sirius’ memory, he can still picture him, baby-faced with a missing tooth, and he can see him as a stoic teenager with eyes like flint and unruly morning hair, and he can see him as he was on that night before everything went wrong. But he can never imagine him any older than that moment. That’s all he gets. Sometimes it makes him weep and sometimes it makes him so angry that he makes himself sick. 

He traces over the word brother and thinks about how it went so wrong. All the little moments he can pinpoint that led them here. In time, he imagines he’ll be able to trace over the word and think of all the times they got it right too. He wonders if he’ll ever stop feeling like half of him is buried in this soil that he sits on.  

On Regulus’ next birthday, Sirius bakes a cake. It’s warm and it smells like cinnamon and it’s a little lopsided, but Sirius is sure Regulus would appreciate the effort. He goes by himself in the afternoon just before the sun starts to set. It’s freezing cold and Remus offers countless times to go with him, but Sirius declines. 

He takes himself to the cemetery, and he sits with his lopsided cake and his black coffee and his brother. He smiles at the freshly cut and placed purple flowers by the grave and he traces over the word brother a few times for good measure.   

Six.

Sirius and Regulus share the same nose. They have the same laugh and the same funny way of quirking their eyebrows when they’re confused. When they were younger, Sirius loved it. Parts of himself in his brother and vice versa. When they were both young Sirius could see Regulus in himself through the crinkles by his eyes when he smiled too wide and he could hear Regulus in his own laugh. As they got older and started growing up and apart, he began recognizing Regulus in himself differently. Sirius saw the same downturned frown or the same darkened stare when he looked in the mirror. They still had the same nose and they still had the same laugh, though neither of them did much laughing then. By the time Sirius had left, he could only see Regulus in the rings around his eyes, in the quiet and solemn looks of cold regard and contemplation he gave himself in the mirror, and in the clenched jaw of his anger.  

In the New Hampshire house, Sirius remembers Regulus teaching a class. He had his back turned and was writing something on the board and for a moment, even though Sirius had made it his mission to be as surly as possible that day, he found himself smiling.

They both wrote the same way. Their q’s and a’s were identical and the way the words slanted ever-so-slightly across the board, as if gravity was trying to pull them down. This was something Sirius hadn’t taught him. This was just something they both did. Sirius thought about all the times he had written the letter ‘a’ over the days and weeks and months he and Regulus weren’t speaking. How connected they were without even knowing it. How they came from the same place. 

Then Regulus turned to roll his eyes at something James had said and the flicker of Sirius’ smile grew a little bit wider. He would know that expression anywhere. It was the same one he would use to feign annoyance and mask affection. 

The house in New Hampshire was when Sirius started seeing himself in the happier parts of Regulus again. No longer in the sleeplessness of bloodshot eyes and downturned scowls but in affectionate eye rolls and smiles from spontaneous countertop dance parties.

Sirius heard Regulus’ voice in the back of his mind, echoing from somewhere in the past.  

“Sometimes things have to get worse in order to make them better.”

Sirius remembers thinking to himself that maybe this was it. Maybe they had gone through all the worst parts. All the boxes had been pulled from the cupboard and now Sirius could see himself in happier parts of Regulus again. Maybe now is when things started to get better. 

That was in New Hampshire. In the earliest days after Regulus was gone, Sirius struggled with mirrors. Sometimes, in the bathroom, he would catch a glimpse of himself, same nose, same rings around the eyes, same creased brow, and he’d see Regulus staring back at him. In the beginning, there were times he looked too much like Regulus, which maybe made him nonsensical and maybe it wasn’t any more true than it had been when Regulus was alive, but on those days Sirius wouldn’t leave the dark of his room in fear that he’d catch sight of his brother through some reflective surface and sob in the street, or in the car, or in the cinema. 

It wasn’t all bad though, slowly, slowly things started to get better. He could tell, the first time he laughed in front of James after Regulus had died. James had turned to him with eyes wide and hopeful and a bittersweet smile and Sirius knew that James was thinking the same thing he was. 

It was Regulus’ laugh. And it was his. 

Maybe when death had crept in and cut all of the strings tying Sirius and Regulus together, he had missed a few. Maybe they could still be connected after all. 

Sirius looked that way today. He could tell from his reflection in the shiny lacquered table top of the café that today was a day where he could see Regulus in his own reflection a little more prominently. But now it isn’t so bad. Now, enough time had passed that he felt a certain comfort in seeing Regulus in himself. Lucky even that he was still here, even when he wasn’t. 

The waitress brings him his coffee and he takes a deep breath as the bitter taste fills his mouth. He’s certain other people think he’s a bit off as he sits making faces at the empty seat across from him, but he doesn’t mind.   

‘I’m thinking about calling this conversations from the coffee shop,’ Sirius thinks. ‘I’ve been coming here enough times now. This little ritual should have a proper name. What do you think, Regulus? That way there’s still a ‘we.’ That wouldn’t be so bad, would it?’  

His breath trembles a little on his next inhale. 

‘We’re meeting at the coffee shop,’ Sirius thinks with a smile. ‘We have things to talk about.’ He likes that. 

He thinks Regulus would too.

Hello, hello, hello and happy Sunday. Thank you @aroace-genderfluid-sheep, @confused-bi-queer, @bookish-bogwitch, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe and @coffeegleek for the tags.

Today, posting period for the Klaine Back-to-School challenge has started, but I am still stuck on the ending. Am I the only one who, like, tries to daydream fic scenario's first, just to see how it goes? The daydream unfortunately ends at Blaine taking Kurt to meet [REDACTED]. What happens next??? TELL ME, DREAMS!!

As the banner suggests, I am still finding my feet in this new podcast world. I figuratively threw out my old recordings and I rerecorded everything as a .wav file in an app recommended by @cutestkilla. I am going for the "keep your fuck ups in the recording and edit them out later" approach, since that does sound easier. @thnxforknowingme did offer to help with Audacity if I need it. And I will need it. I spent a long, long time getting these 25 seconds for this post:

(Oh, and yeah, I did claim the other fic. I am on a roll.)

Right, getting that little audio snippet was hell because I even had troubles with using the copy and paste options and then I had troubles saving it as a file. It also cut off a small part, cause the audio is supposed to end with "blooper reel or whatever", but that's mainly because I had to edit this... without sound on. Apparently Audacity doesn't like earphones and it just plays from my laptop speakers which is not fun in public, so I had to time it from the full audio and hope for the best. Well, it almost worked.

This will be a learning curve, or whatever it's called. But I said it before: I like how welcoming @caught-on-tape-fest is, because it is open to people with all sorts of experiences with podfics. I mean, I have none. Same with editing. I can make it as easy and comfortable as I want it to be. I see people in the Podfic thread talk about things that mean nothing to me, but I don't feel any pressure to do any editing magic. Well, I do want to add a kitten meowing to one of the files, but all the stuff about isolating sound or reverbing stuff or whatever (idek if I use the right terms here) or editing out certain sounds.... that is next level for me now, but yeah, it's great that I don't feel any pressure to do those things and that's an easy way to get into the podficcing world.

Although, while editing the file to get that snippet, I found out that there is a weird disruptive background noise in the later half of the file and I do not know what it is or how it got there, because my other files don't have it and I recorded the three fics in one go. Weird. Might redo it, if I don't figure out how to fix it. It was around 500 words, after all.

And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos @blurglesmurfklaine @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @bazzybelle @dragoneggos @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @justgleekout @cerriddwenluna @tea-brigade @ivelovedhimthroughworse @moodandmist @whogaveyoupermission @ionlydrinkhotwater @1908jmd @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral @chen-chen-chen-again-chen ​ @cutestkilla ​ @nausikaaa ​/@wellbelesbian ​ @artsyunderstudy ​ @martsonmars ​ @facewithoutheart ​ @shrekgogurt @boyinjeans @rockitmans @bitbybitwrites @blackberrysummerblog @whatevertheweather

Heyoo!

Would you consider yourself a writer or an artist? (Because if you're in need for a writer, I might know someone...👀)

Honestly? This is an excuse to send you an ask bc u seem really cool, and I love ur sbi atla au. You can rant about it here if you want to. That's it, have a nice day :D

Hia!

I would probably think of myself more as an artist, while I like writing too I don't know if I quite have the commitment for it lol. Writing some of the au might be a good idea tho...

You have reminded me that I forgot to post the new stuff I had in regard to it, oops. I've figured out some plot stuff and what I'm doing with Ranboo, but I'm going to keep that part a surprise for now >:) I have a document written up on different characters back stories now, I just need a plot thread to tie them all together.

The current thing I'm concerned about is whether I should still involves characters like c!Dream or c!Wilbur after everything that's happened with their creators, cause that could affect the story's direction significantly. I think currently I'm still going to use their characters where necessary, what I'm going with rn is Wilbur died before the main storyline but was involved in some of the characters, namely Tommy's backstory, so he's still used in their development and such but I won't have to write him. His role in the story can mostly be replaced by Techno, Nikki and Tubbo. I also think it gives Nikki's character an opportunity to be completely independent from Wilbur's, cause I frequently see her be defined by her connection to him, which I know CC Nikki didn't like.

Dream I think is harder to deal with, considering he's the main bad guy in Tommy's canon arc, so I may have to use him, or get creative with some alternatives. Characters like George and sapnap are probably easier workarounds cause they're less relevant to the plot and more supporting acts for dream most of the time. And the au is mostly centred around the sbi and adjacent characters so others wouldn't be getting as much focus anyway.

It is getting into exam season rn so I won't be able to do a lot of stuff over the next 2-3 months (at least not without neglecting my folios lmao) but I think after that I can sink my teeth into this project properly.

Anyways my Dm's are always open if you want to chat :)

@sasouken i'm pretty sure we made a 1x1 server the same day we connected ajdhskfhsd bee is so sweeeet. that was the first thing that struck me about him!! i just felt immediately comfortable because he was so kind and our ideas for ship dynamics meshed SO well (freak MATCHED) ALSO THE WAY WE KEEP ACCIDENTALLY SLIPPING INTO THREADS DURING OOC CHATTER IS STILL . SO FUNNY TO ME OUR MUSES ARE JUST LIKE "BET"

@koseigu .... i feel like this is self explanatory for anyone who follows this blog. both of us were sitting there sO NERVOUS to follow the other because we were intimidated and then it turns out we were just the same person. i'm so comfortable just busting down tsari's door with the weirdest wackest shit at any hour of the day and that's so beautiful

as for the second question, it really doesn't take me long at all as long as we mesh well ooc! i tend to have an easier time with people who reach out to me in return & are more expressive over text if that makes sense? since i'm always trying to read/gauge tone while chatting online, matching my partner's energy. in particular, i try to match the frequency of reaching out and the typing style!!

🎀 What's the last nice thing you saw pertaining to rp?

OOH .... i saw an anon the other day jumping into a bunch of mutuals' inboxes and talking about how much they like writing with them, it was so fuckin sweet and made me miss the old days of rp when anons were more common and less used for hate (or at least used just as much for nice things!). anyone remember magic anons?? omfg

when i was in the hospital my mom got me a few little “do things with your hands” kits and i ended up. not being dextrous enough to use them lmao. but i can now and i’ve been wanting to learn a new skill so i opened this little cross stitch kit and i’m now learning to cross stitch! i’m learning a lot :)

things i enjoy about cross stitching so far:

the gridded fabric means you can have my level of textile skill (read: none) and still end up with neat stitches

the stitch itself is really easy to do and you can get into a good groove

the needle itself is too dull for you to hurt yourself on which is great for my clumsy ass

filling in squares is VERY satisfying

counting. i enjoy counting immensely

the kit told me to cut the thread into 18” long strands but i didn’t bother with that meaning one needle lasted me a shit ton of stitches. satisfying to watch the string dwindle down

easy to get into, but just difficult enough to improve at that it makes me want to get better without feeling intimidated

if you fuck up it’s really easy to fix mistakes the fabric is super forgiving

this is a really good way for me to get over my fear of learning textile skills. entry point into sewing and embroidery

i’m actually pretty consistently good at threading the needle. using small individual threads makes this easier as well

things i do NOT enjoy about cross stitch so far:

i’m not very good with the thread bc i’m impatient and try to go fast and then it. tangles

because i am new and making mistakes i kept having my groove interrupted bc the thread on my needle kept tying itself into pretzel knots (this would probably be reduced if i cut the thread the way the kit said to. i am not going to bother with that)

i hateeeeee tying knots. i’m still a little clumsy with my hands and i’ve never been great at knot tying so when i have to tie thread onto the needle or finish a stitch i get very frustrated

this kit in particular has me stitching with three strands of thread when i’m pretty sure the standard is two (at least . according to the youtube tutorial i watched) and i think it is making the thread more annoying to work with

the kit also suggested i start in the center which. i get it for counting reasons esp as a beginner but starting in the middle of what i would have just made as a full row irritates me and now i have to work with that

i’m paranoid that i didn’t secure the tail of my stitch well enough and that somehow it’ll all fall out or something

somehow my thread got these tiny micro-knots that i couldn’t untie in it and i had to make sure i pulled those knots all the way through with each stitch
