#First poll I've done guys :D

[somerandomcryptid]

Hey ok so for my Adventures in Esempi au, would anyone be interested if I put in some encrypted text? Nothing too fancy because I've never done stuff like that before but just some pretty basic cyphers and stuff.

I want to do it mostly cause I think it would be fun and also I think it makes sense in universe. But mostly it would be for fun xD

But I also don't want to put in stuff no one wants to solve

and since this is AiE related... @calamari-minecraft-corner

The night we met | Lando Norris x Reader

Genre | Fluff.

Word count | 2.6K

Warnings | None for once! Enjoy some peace.....

Summary | When Reader's best friend sets her up on a blind date with one of her long-time friends, she expects anything but the evening she's about to experience.

Author's note | This piece is the result of yesterday's poll! Another poll will be coming soon for y'all to decide what's next :)

"I'm really not sure if it's a good idea, Alice," she sighs, looking over at the bed where her friend is seated, behind her.

"What makes you say that?" Alice replies, arching an eyebrow.

"I have a list of reasons, actually," she states, pulling out her phone.

"You and your damn lists!"

"I know you hate them, but they help me clear my mind," she says, clicking on a note.

"Alright, let's hear your reasons then," Alice laughs. "But I'm warning you, I'm going to dismantle them one by one."

"Okay," she starts. "Reason one is : I don't know him."

"That's kinda... the whole point of blind dates," her friend says, rolling her eyes.

"Well, you agreed to this. I did not. You know how anxious I get when I don't know people," she says, head low.

"Lando is a really nice guy," Alice says, coming close to her friend and stroking her hair. "I just know he'll put you at ease right away."

She takes a few seconds to think, biting the inside of her cheek. It's not the first time she's about to go on a date with someone she's never met before. Even though she doesn't know him, she's not really worried about Lando. She's more concerned about herself, to be honest. She's not a model of eloquence, doesn't consider herself particularly pretty. She's sure her date will do his best. What she's not sure about, is if she'll be able to overcome her own anxiety about the whole situation.

"Reason two, then," she says, focusing back on the note. "I don't know a thing about racing. What are we even going to talk about?"

"Well, something else. I'm sure Lando would be delighted to talk about something other than work for once," Alice replies, winking.

She wasn't lying, she thinks. She really has an answer for everything.

"Shoot me with reason three, baby," Alice says, letting out a laugh.

"Reason three," she replies, eyeing her friend. "Let's say I don't fuck up, which would be a miracle in itself, and we hit it off. How am I supposed to maintain a long-distance relationship? We're not talking about Brighton or Cambridge, we're talking about another continent. Several times a year."

"Well, I'm glad you're thinking so much ahead," Alice replies, earning a frustrated grunt from her friend. "There'll be plenty of people who are in the same situation as you. You can always ask for advice from other WAGS," she concludes, laughing.

"You're insufferable."

"Was there a fourth reason to debunk, or are we done here?" Alice asks.

"There is, actually. That's the last one," she says, staring at her phone. "Every time I've gone on a date like this, without having seen the guy... They were never really... to my taste," she begins. "So I've never kissed them, never went any further. But if I like him, what am I supposed to do?"

"What's the real question?"

"Am I supposed to kiss him on the first date? I don't want him to think I'm easy. Is it better to play hard to get and..."

"Wow, you're overthinking this," Alice says, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I don't have any answer to give you. Just... Go with the flow. And if you're not sure about what to do, let him take the lead. Okay?"

An hour later, she's walking through the streets of Bristol, trying to calm her breathing, her thoughts, her already racing heart. She's checked the address Lando had sent her about ten times before leaving Alice's apartment. On principle, she takes out her phone, checking one last time. Her phone indicates that the restaurant is less than a minute's walk away, at the corner of the street she's on. There's still time to turn back, she thinks, before gathering herself. No. He doesn't deserve that.

In front of the restaurant, she casts a quick glance inside, checking if he's already there, before remembering that she doesn't even know what he looks like. Well, she has a vague idea. She's seen pictures on Alice's Facebook and Instagram over the years, but his precise features escape her. She remembers curly hair, beauty spots. Not much more. She's not sure if she would recognize him in a crowd.

She pushes the door and slips inside the buzzing restaurant, politely greeting the waitress who welcomes her.

"I have a reservation for two," she says. "The name's Norris."

"Ah yes, he's already here, in the second room. I'll take you to him," the waitress replies, flashing a smile.

Her heart stops. He's already here? She deliberately arrived fifteen minutes early to have time to settle down quietly, to gather herself. To wash her hands if they're too sweaty. This was not how it was supposed to go at all, she thinks, feeling the anxiety rise.

The waitress guides her through the tables to the small room at the back of the restaurant. On the way, her brain disconnects, giving way to total panic. I knew it was a bad idea, she tells herself, biting her lip. I'm going to make a fool of myself. The waitress suddenly stops, saying something that her brain doesn't comprehend before walking away and she looks up, meeting his gaze.

Oh, wow, she thinks, eyes widening. That man is too handsome for his own good.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you" he says, extending a bouquet of white tulips to her. "Alice said those were your favorites."

She smiles, taking the bouquet before burying her nose in it. Alice, you little sneak.

"Thank you so much," she replies, feeling her cheeks flush. "They're stunning."

Lando pulls out her chair before sitting back down, not taking his eyes off her. Feeling his gaze on her, she dives intensely into reading the menu. Or rather, she pretends to, because she's not even reading, just trying to avoid the attention the driver is giving her.

"You seem nervous," he states, still looking at her.

Feeling her cheeks turn red, she holds her menu higher in front of her face, hiding a little more. "Hey," he says, putting his finger on the menu to lower it. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just really bad at this," she replies, finally looking at him. "Dates, conversations, one-on-ones. It's not about you, I swear."

There we go, she thinks, head low. We've been sitting for ten minutes and I've already messed everything up.

"Would you like to go somewhere else?" he asks, and she looks up, furrowing her brows.

"What?"

"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, that wasn't the intention," he says. "A romantic dinner may be a bit much for a first date. So, if you want to go somewhere else, do something else, it's not a problem."

"But... We're already sitting," she says, confused.

"It's no big deal," he replies, shrugging. "The restaurant is packed, they won't go bankrupt because we leave. We can just tell them we don't like anything on the menu."

She lets out a laugh, covering her mouth, astonished by the driver's suggestion.

"If you could go anywhere, a place where you feel comfortable and safe, where would you go?" he asks, his big eyes detailing her.

She thinks for a moment, looking upwards, biting her lip again.

"If we really had no limits... I'd go to the sea," she replies, thoughtful.

"Let's go then," Lando says, rising up and taking his jacket.

"What? Lando, we can't do that," she says, still sitting. "The good beaches are like, an hour drive away."

But Lando has already circled the table, jacket in hand, extending his hand to her.

"My car's parked outside," he replies.

She doesn't understand what's happening, so for once, she sets aside her brain and listens to her heart, grasping his hand and allowing him to guide her towards the restaurant's exit, the driver only stopping to explain briefly to the very understanding waitress that an emergency has come up and they have to leave, carefully slipping several bills in her hand as a tip - and as compensation.

Outside, Lando leads her to his car, their hands still intertwined, her heels clicking on the cobblestones. He opens the door for her and she slips inside, her heart racing.

"I've never done anything like this in my entire life," she says, staring straight ahead.

"You should never force yourself to do something you don't want to do, though," he replies, looking through the rear window to reverse, leaning indirectly towards her. His scent reaches her nose and she can't help but look at him closely, detailing every detail of his profile. His clear eyes. His beauty spots that remind her of constellations. The curly lock of hair that crosses his forehead.

"Does Ogmore work for you?" he asks, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Ogmore's perfect," she replies, eyes glistening.

They set off, and as the English countryside landscape passes by through the window, she notices that for the first time since she left Alice's apartment, she isn't feeling anxious. Her heart still beats just as fast, sure, but she suspects it's not really because of stress anymore. Lando rummages between their seats and eventually pulls out a cable, which he hands to her.

"I don't mind driving, but you're the DJ," he says, laughing. "Put on some music. Let me know who you are."

She grabs the cable before connecting it to her phone, scrolling through her Spotify playlist. So you want to know who I am, huh? she thinks, blushing again, before clicking on her favorite song.

The first notes of "I'm Outta Time" by Oasis resonate in the car, and Lando shoots her a surprised look.

"I actually love that song," he says, smirking. "What does it tell about you?"

"Well," she starts. "As you must be starting to suspect, I strongly identify with the idea that the sea is the only place that manages to calm me down, where I truly feel free."

"I'm with you on that one," he replies.

"And then... It's quite personal, but to me, the song's about someone who's lonely. Someone seeking comfort, a pillar, someone who can support them through everything. But also someone they'd be willing to let go out of love."

Lando turns his head towards her, and she gets lost in the softness and understanding reflected in his eyes. The song comes to an end, and she clicks on "On Melancholy Hill" by Gorillaz.

"I promise I'm not depressed," she says, meeting his gaze, while he lets out a laugh.

"This one's talking about the sea, again," he states.

"There's that," she says. "And there's this dreamy feeling. It's about frustration, about pressuring yourself to achieve big things, when maybe..." she stops for a second. "Maybe just being with your person is enough. Maybe there's no need for more," she finishes, looking out the window, troubled by the feeling of having said too much.

"I get it," he says, still looking at the road ahead.

"You do?" she asks.

"Of course. I'm not the last one to have dreams and goals, as you can imagine. But at the end of the day, when all that's over, what's left? What do you turn to?"

The rest of the journey goes on in the same way. She plays a song, explains why she likes it, what it makes her feel, what it reminds her of. Lando listens attentively, interweaving her narrative with his own anecdotes, sharing his thoughts, his fears. That's much more intimate than a restaurant, she thinks. But somehow, she doesn't mind.

Forty minutes later, a sign indicates that Ogmore is the next exit, and Lando turns onto the narrow road, which soon becomes a path. They leave the car in a parking lot, where only a few cars are parked before embarking on the sandy trail. Before them, the sun has begun to set, tinting the sky with orange, pink, and violet hues.

"Just in time," Lando says before plopping down on the sand. She sits beside him, closing her eyes. Absorbing the healing sound of the waves.

"Thank you so much for this, Lando. You have no idea how much it means to me," she says, feeling emotional.

They both lie there, side by side, without saying a word, lulled by the sound of the waves.

"Do you remember the night we met?" Lando suddenly asks, looking at the sky and the stars that the onset of night begins to reveal.

"What do you mean?" she asks, turning on her side to look at him.

"It was last year," Lando starts, as she furrows her brows, completely lost.

"I'm not sure I understand," she replies, confused. "I've seen you in pictures... But this is the first time we meet."

"Alice's birthday, in London," the driver specifies, and she dives into her thoughts, trying to rewind time. "You were wearing a black dress. Backless."

"I... I remember the birthday, and the dress," she begins. "But I don't remember you. Well, I remember Alice saying you had something come up," she continues, lost.

"I had a work function, couldn't get away. But I still stopped by, dropped off Alice's gift," he explains.

"I'm sorry, Lando," she says, embarrassed. "I don't remember seeing you."

"We crossed paths in one of the hallways of the bar. You were leaning against a wall, talking to someone... Jeff? Greg?" he says, closing his eyes as if trying to remember.

"Jeff? My boyfriend at the time?"

"Yes, that was him. You two were arguing about something, I can't remember what. The tone started to escalate, and you walked off towards the restroom."

"I remember that."

"I found myself in front of Jeff, and I told him, "You shouldn't argue with a pretty girl like that. She deserves better". He told me to fuck off, to mind my business, and left," he recalls, laughing.

"Wow, I had no idea," she says. "Him and I broke up like, four months after that anyway."

"I know. Alice told me."

"Why would she tell you that? It must not be of much interest to you."

"I'd mentioned to her that I found you beautiful. In fact, to be honest, I think I said you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," the driver says. "So one morning, she texted me. Said something like... "She broke up with Jeff. Time to grow a pair."

"Wow," she says, laughing in shock. "I didn’t know that."

Silence falls. Neither speaks for several seconds. He, wondering if he's said too much. Her, wondering what she should conclude from the driver's words.

"So..." she starts. "When Alice told me that she had planned a blind date..."

"It was my idea," he says, meeting her eyes. "But we couldn't say that."

"Oh, my god," she says, laughing again. "I can't believe you two."

A particularly turbulent wave crashes at their feet, making them yelp and quickly stand up. They're suddenly face to face. Wrapped in a heavy silence. One that cannot last.

"So you did, then," she finally says.

"What?"

"You grew a pair," she replies as he bursts out laughing.

"You're not angry at me, are you?" he asks, taking a step forward.

"I'm... quite surprised, I won't lie. But I'm not angry, no. I've never had a first date like this," she confesses. "I've never felt so listened to, so understood... In so little time. It started off badly, and yet you... you made me feel like I could be myself."

"You can," Lando says, taking her hand. "That's all I want."

"Will you think I'm moving too fast if I kiss you?" she suddenly asks.

"No," he says, coming closer until their breaths meet. "I won't."

"Arlecchino is a person." Blurb Series Masterlist (Arlecchino x Reader)

In which Arlecchino is a person with many traits, and somehow, you surprise her by revealing something new about each one.

Author's Note listed under the cut.

Each blurb can be seen as a standalone or one story altogether.

Day 1: Arlecchino is a cold person.

Day 2: Arlecchino is a patient person.

Day 3: Arlecchino is a selfish person.

Day 4: Arlecchino is a greedy person.

Day 5: Arlecchino is a cruel person.

Day 6: Arlecchino is a corrupt person.

Day 7: Arlecchino is not a person.

My favorite one is probably "Arlecchino is a cruel person." (Day 5)

Haha this Author's Note is long... there's a TLDR at the bottom.

I just wanted to say, thank you guys for reading my silly little blurb series, whether you've stuck for all 7 or just 1, I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you want to see more Arlecchino content from me, have an Arlecchino oneshot here.

I have a lot to say, just because this is the first time that I've done this and also the first time I've really invested into a platform that I can post my works in. I didn't think I had the commitment to write something per day, but hey I did it :D. The word count for the blurbs altogether was 5k words. I really enjoyed writing this series, even though this isn't my best writing. I don't know when my next school break is, but would you guys want another blurb series like this on the next one?

Also, I am very sorry, but that oneshot I mentioned I was trying to get done? Yeah, I don't think it's going to be done nor will it ever see the light of day. 5 days of procrastination should have been enough to tell me I wasn't actually going to have the motivation to complete this. I'm really sorry 😿.

On another hand, I got a good amount of responses for my Arlecchino Oneshot Poll, and I'm really excited to write these ideas! Given how long and how much work I put into my oneshots (and my busy school schedule) oneshots are not going to be frequent at all. (The Arlecchino oneshot took me at least 2 months to write). That means I won't be posting as often, but I do use Tumblr a lot still. So feel free to interact with me in anyway! :D

TLDR: Thanks for reading, looking forward to writing more Arlecchino content in the future!

Happy holiday.... What do you think that made Yuuji is so likeable as a character? I've only been in the JJK fandom for a year, and I've seen a lot of other JJK characters' stan. But one thing in common, they all love Yuuji and mostly will include him in their top 5 fav JJK charas (including me :D)...

Also, extra kudos cause your blog is anti-gojo. Most of my moots love him and can't stop talking about him. I already tell them that I don't really like him (actually I hate him), they're okay but still so into him. So I'm so happy when I found your blog.

What do you think that made gojo so famous? Is it the pretty face and bad personality (I'm still confused until now)....? I dislike gojo kinda like I dislike dazai from BSD. They're both called "The one who stole the spotlight from the protagonist" (by my animanga group)....

Happy holidays to you to, hope you had a good time

I think it's pretty hard not to like Yuuji. Even if you aren't that interested in his character, due to his friendly personality and plenty of cute moments it's hard to hate him. I think this Pure Sunshine Boy interpretation (that I don't entirely agree with) is the main reason fans are drawn to him. The suffering he has to endure and how he continues to grow from it is quite fascinating to witness as well. What I personally like about him is also how he has a darker side to him, that pure hatred he has reserved for Sukuna and Mahito, but which we also saw when he beat up bullies as a middle schooler. He's not just sunshine and rainbows, he has a quite serious and lonely side to him he often hides from others and that is the reason he used to not have many friends until recently. Fits with his morbid obsession with death and how he is prepared to die and wants to die to pay for everything he's done despite being so young.

Looking at fan interpretations of him, I'm not sure that's why he's in the top 3 of the popularity polls, but it's what I like about him. The main criticism I see of him is that people think he's too weak to be the main character of a shonen series and isn't the centre of attention enough, but I think that's pretty stupid and thankfully it's only a (loud) minority of people who think that. I'm glad he deviates from the shonen formula there.

Now for Gojo, I first have to say that I wouldn't consider myself "anti-Gojo". I often think he's annoying and recent developments in the manga led to me complaining about him a lot, but I don't actually hate him, not the way I do with Geto, Yuuta or at times Choso. His fans can get on my nerves a lot and I think he was written very badly after being released from the Prison Realm, but usually I don't care about him. I like his high school self actually, before he got so overpowered, his faults were more interesting there.

I think the majority of his popularity is because he's a pretty white-haired anime guy with cool powers and part of a popular yaoi couple, i.e. you got some dramatic feels mixed in there as well. That seems to be the gist of what I see online as reasoning for why people like him and what made him famous when the anime started airing. There are deeper reasons too (best ask a Gojo fan for those), but his looks, iconic blindfold design and relationship with Geto seem to be the main things people are drawn to. Things like that are often what's most important in making a character popular.

AU Talk (Out of Date)

I just wanna compile all my AU/Alternat Universe ideas. Maybe I will make like, a poll or smth? Like, to see what is the one that is most interesting to the populous. I dunno. I have never done a pole before. But yeah! For now, I give a synopsis of these AU's cus I wanna go and info-dump about them now! Expect maybe a BIT of spoilers for Trigger Happy Havoc in specific and some Goodbye Despair talk kinda? Also, regarding any designs I've done since I've had these AU's for a while (at least the first two) I will show them all when the time comes and when I figure out how to decide which AU the people want to be learning more about first! Danganronpa Overgrowth: A time-loop AU with Byakuya as the star of the show. The plot is that, after escaping the main killing game, he wakes up again back in Hopes Peak in those classic, shitty desks! Slowly, the longer he stays in this time-loop, the more of these small, golden flowers grow on him. Also, if he dies in any loop, the areas where he were killed become golden-y bruised. (This is lowkey giving Flowerfell energy. If you know, you know) Also, as time progresses, the things he touch become covered in gold and golden flowers akin to the Midas touch. Yes, he has a lot of physical pain. Yes. He is not doing good. Byakuya is not alone in this however as a strange, spectral ghost follows and speaks to him. Only he can see this pink bear entity and they work as an ally for Byakuya in an odd sense. Just so there's a name to this character, his name is Petal. Kiddieronpa: A what-if scenario/reimagining where the killing game happens but the cast all middle schoolers. All backstories are the same and follow the character lore. Some plot points and chapters do change of course such as Chapter 2 which kinda banks on Mondo and his lore. Monokuma is fairly the same in this. He just has some overalls and a propeller hat to demean and bully the children. I have also given them all slight redesigns to fit the fact that they are now all middle schoolers. The Survivor's Guide: A sort of extension to the main series. Basically, what if instead of the Danganronpa THH survivors simply being rescued, they instead have to survive on their own. I imagine this one kinda like an RPG in which the survivors fight Monokuma enemies akin to the ones in UDG's and also hunt for supplies, weapons, food, etc.. The main idea I had was that there was a helicopter from the Future Foundation that ends up getting attacked in midair before crashing somewhere afar and the goal is for the survivors to make their way to the helicopter to find some coordinates and make their way to maybe making either an SOS signal for the Future Foundation or to at least survive long enough to repair the helicopter or get rescued a different way. The important thing I want in this is for the survivors to have even more bonding together and also to do some classic character reconstruction. Maybe there can be some shenanigans or just some alluding's to the Remanent of Despair. Also, I like there being multiple endings were I can make them suffer. I am mean like that. I do this to my own OC's too so these guys won't be the first group of losers I make have a ton of trauma :D Another thing to note is that this au was born by a canon complaint. Like, I feel the survivors surviving together one last time in this environment and kicking ass and getting roughed up a bit, like, I like it a lot. I just have this need to seem them a just a BIT grimy and working from what they got. I dunno why my brain functions like this but I want what I want I guess. All of these plots are open for change but this is the main stuff for now! Some of these AU's also slightly vary in how much development I've done with them. Dunno how to rank that though so I will mostly just leave these descriptions as they are and for you all to make your own decisions. Once I figure out how to do a poll and for how long I'll do it for, I'll set that up. Sorry if some of this was nonsensical or confusing! EDIT: Added the tags of the AU's

Lost Children Progress Update 17/4/24

It's been a little while since I did one of these. I've been giving small updates here and there, but a big one once in a while is nice, and I enjoy sharing my progress. It's sort of motivating. You know? To look and see, 'Oh wow, I did a lot' or 'wow, I didn't accomplish a lot, but I'm proud of what I did do!' (Some chapters take their time to come together, other the ideas just flow on to the paper).

ANYWAY! You don't care about this. You want to know how long till the next chapter comes out, right????

So, will start with the elephant in the room: Ch.19. It's only 8 pages, which is why, despite the first 3 technically done (anything at 90% is just to digitalise & add text), I haven't uploaded anything.

It's about done. I'm just stuck on page 5 (and two panels of page 4). They're a flashback. A god-damned nightmare of a flashback to draw and... I don't want to do it TT , but for effect and impact, the story needs it >>

Otherwise:

(That should be 20/22 chapters done :P )

Part 1 is coming together swimmingly! With the recent addition of 2 new chapters and, I think, this is as big as part 1 will be getting. I'm finishing off tidying up how I want Part 1 to end at the minute, and then we'll have a small time skip to part 2.

(And maaaaaaybe I'll go back to the start and add an intro chapter to give more info on what the heck happened in the Triple Threat Ending to make Henry think screwing up the timelines and making a new one was a great idea. IDK. Still on the hedge about where to put this info)

Also! The poll I'm running looks like everything in one fic will win, for how it gets uploaded on A03. In two days time once the poll is finished I'll work on implementing those changes (, unless the poll swings back the other way again :P ).

Part 2:

The order of the first 9 chapters, take with a grain of salt. I'm still finalizing the order.

For the most part it's just detailed ideas of what I want to happen in each part + 4 chapters finished, 2 being edited.

'Standing on the Ledge' came out FANTASTIC. I cannot wait to upload that one. Personal favourite of the part so far. 2nd place going to 'Stuck With You'.

And what is that at the bottom? A familiar chapter name! Yes! We're getting back to the Wall. Slowly but surly our characters will be reunited with their frozen prisons, well-

Those who I haven't/ don't kill off~

*eViL lAuGhInG! >:D*

jk.

Or am I?

Anyway,

Part 3:

Part 3 is mostly a butt-ton of editing. It looks like most of the new chapters will land in part 2 (asides from 4), so part 3 will be similar to the original version, but not, given all the minor changes you're about to witness snowball into avalanche sized consequences!

^^;

Anyway, I've edited 4 so far dated them since it's going to be a while till we get to Part 3. That being said, given it's 85%ish editing, it should hopefully just be rapid fire chapter uploading when we do get there :)

I think that's about all I've got to say?

Er... you guys should be aware by now of the 'I'm in uni, chapters are as I have time/wrist able' disclaimer. So...

OH! Also, this is all going up on A03 (once the poll is done), so I can keep the readers over there who don't follow this Tumblr up-to-date with what's going on. So when you see a new chapter update in your inbox, don't get too excited ^^;

And finally, for you.

My dear read.

Who has read through my long waffle and sporadic episodes of evil laughter and fun!

I have an... 'opportunity'

*Snots* I sound like a Mafia boss with Liam Neelson's voice reading this allowed.

I left my colour coding in Part 2 (as I couldn't be bothered to remove it ^^; ), so... will have some fun with this.

Whoever can figure out who's POV are colours blue or green will get a free half or full body drawing of one character (SFW), of their choice (mine, oc, stickmin or another fandom (at my discretion)).

And we'll say... 2 guesses a person (either two on one colour, or one guess for each colour) to make it fair. (It shouldn't be too hard, there's only 12 POV's, and you've met them all but one coming in at Part 3.

OH!

And there will be three winners in total.

Good luck :)

(btw, I'm going to bed now, so first people with the right answers are the winners in case you all rush in here with your answers over the next... 10 ish hours...

Unless... you're the only person to read this far >> )

[achillean-knight]

My Mettamay drawing for today MIGHTTT be a little delayed bc I only got 2 and a half hours before I'm dragged by my family to watch a TV show BAHA (Yes I still watch TV SDHJHSDGGDSJHKSDJDGSHD Still shocked by the results of a insta poll I did that it's not a popular source of entertainment these days, DAMN) ANYWAYSSS

Rules: Make a 24 hour poll with the names of your WIPs, let it run, then work for 10 minutes for every vote the winner receives.

Thank you for the tag, @angelcasendgame!!!!! I am not sure I will be able to work on anything very soon just because life came after me again, and turns out I'm gonna be moving over the next month or so, but I really do hope I can find time!!

None of these have names yet lol. I put the SPN ones first, but technically I've been trying to break my writer's block by returning to The Great Gatsby (It's all Nick/Gatsby btw, just realized that might not be immediately evident) with limited success. It's always come easier for me. But all of this is stuff I do actively want to work on.

Ohh I don't know who to tag. I'm sure everyone in this circle has been tagged already, and most of the people I talk to regularly enough to know about their projects have more or less left Tumblr... I do absolutely want to pass this your way though, @antique-ro-man!! (It's Wes, btw!) I also wanna tag @heyfagbutt! And then anyone else who sees this and wants to participate, I also encourage it!! This is such a cool idea :D !!

Long, rambling explanations down here ⬇⬇

I think the name is pretty explanatory? The gist of it is they go after the same guy and become pseudo-enemies but they keep bumping into each other like this and decide to work together after a while 👍 this is a really bad hook LMAO. Anyway, I'm trying to build on the idea that they work REALLY well together when they do it intentionally but fail comically when they don't.

Pretty much what it says on the tin as well. No Supernatural AU. Dean goes to a community college to get a certification to help with his work elsewhere, but Cas, a figure drawing model, catches him drawing (which Dean's been doing on and off as a hobby) and tries to get him to sign up for the arts program.

I technically only have a summary of this, and I'm not entirely sure if I will write it all out, but I do want to at least put more time into the development before I dedicate to giving up on it bc of scope lol. I just have SUCH a soft spot for fake relationship AUs. Also, I just found out that while I have FINALLY aged into independent FAFSA eligibility, I am once again tax bracketed out. Anyway, financial abuse is real and I want to project my suffering onto Dean. Also immigrant Cas, but I haven't decided where I want him to be from yet. I think this has a lot of potential for some pretty hefty character redesigns too so it's also compelling to me from that angle. I guess I could also write it for TGG, but I did initially think of it for Destiel, so.

I don't know how to explain this one very well except that I had unhelpfully written "poolboy au" in my notes and then proceeded to forget what the hell I meant. This fic was an attempt to resurrect that but ended up being a funky modern West Coast re-imagining where Gatsby can't even "make it" as much as he wants to, and Nick can't find a place to live except for a less-than-legally rented pool house. It's not meant to be a full rewrite or anything though.

Uhhh yeah, I'm keeping the details private for this one ahaha but that's just because it wasn't supposed to be a big deal and I told a friend she would see what it was when it was done...like oh god probably a month ago at this point... My original scope for this was quite small, but research for it, indecision, and a nasty case of writer's block that I've had for nearly a year now have kept development a bit slow. Hopefully, I'll finish it before the year comes to a close.

I also don't know how to explain this one well other than "after being rejected by Daisy (Canon Divergent), Gatsby attempts to buy his way into a bewildered Nick's heart. Though the fic is from Nick's POV, Gatsby's just had his worldview shattered and is in a bit of denial, but instead of pursuing Daisy harder, he channels all of that energy into Nick (though he's not really sure why he's doing it at first). I wasn't sure what to put up at the top because I absolutely don't want my code name for this public at least until it's done LMAO.

Hello everyone!!

Wanting to start this by saying Happy New Year!! (some of you may already be on 2024 already, I'm still a few hours behind fhxyicyi)

So! I know I haven't been very active recently this past couple of months, and I apologize for that!! Irl has been very very busy, and adding that to me planning the content that I want to post to my account was already time consuming, BUT!! I have some few announcements for 2024 that hopefully you guys will like!!

For one, at the end of January I'm going to start college!!

Hopefully this will help me out with improving with my art and my speed of doing it too!!

Second, remember those Disney AU's I've been talking about? Yeah well, I'm going to make a fic collection about them :D!!

My goal is to make long fics with pos! Discduo in different Disney movie scenarios that I've already talk about here and put them all in a collection!! And this would include me making art for the fics too!! I want to make art of my own fics and include them in it and also just to draw the scenes that happen in them as a way to promote them in my social media!

So I want to leave a poll (at the end of this post) to see which fic you want to see first! (All of the options will be done at their own time, and I already know which one to do first, but I want to see your opinion too!) (In the meantime that I write the fics, I'm still gonna make their Tumblr posts to talk about them from the previous poll! Just not with spoilers ;D)

You can also suggest me other Disney movies to turn them into discduo fics too in the hashtags/reblogs!

Third, yes I'm still continuing the discduo Vampire fic dw hehe, I've just been very busy irl but I will update it with the third chapter this next days!!

Fourth, in a couple of days I want to make another poll to see if you guys want to see a fully fledged fic for my discduo Spider-Man AU!! I started the AU by just improvising the story as Tumblr posts but I want to see if you guys would be interested in reading a full fic or if it stays as just Tumblr posts!

Bonus to the previous point, I'm still gonna make fanart for the AU with the options of that poll I did some time ago about the designs for the Spider people!

Fifth, I'm going to start making art for the Canon DSMP too!! I'm very late to the party with that but idc since art doesn't have an expire date lol and I also want to make my designs for the characters since I've been itching to do that for a while now!

Sixth, my main fandom is DSMP and Discduo, but I also like other medias and have my own OC's too, it's even stated in my introduction post, but I haven't follow my word through that so I want to change that! I will start posting about my other interests here with reblogs from other accounts, fanart of my own, etc. (My content will mainly be about DSMP with Multi-Fandom and OC content at the side in resume jgchichi)

Seventh, going alongside point five, I'm gonna start making fanart for the Life Series/Hermitcraft!! I've loved the Life Series since last year and I started watching recently Hermitcraft, so I want to make my own fanart of those too!!

In conclusion, I just want to start posting again since I miss it and posting whatever I want and what I'm most passionate about.

And that's it!! Thank you all so much for the love and support this year and hopefully you are all aboard to the ride I will make in this year!

Happy New Year and 2024 everyone :D!!

(Remember that you can suggest me other Disney movies you want to see in the fic collection!)

GUYS. WHEN. HOW. WHY. I-

Thank you all for that. ;o; I hope you're enjoying the ride so far!

I'm thinking about doing a little event to celebrate, and I'd like to have your input on what you would like too! So I made two polls to give you a voice!

First of all, what genre would you like? (closed)

You have Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, and Smut. I put an "Others" field in case you want to give your own ideas.

Second of all, what kind would you like? (closed)

You have drabbles (short stories), headcanons (what I've done so far on this blog), and interactions (you send a sentence to a character and I write their answer). I also put an "others" field for the same reason as above!

Depending on the results, I'll make (or find) a list of prompts and we can do this little celebration!

Thank you all again! :D

[luveline]

would you ever consider giving us lil teasers about what your wipe are? i love that you share the sheer amount of messages you get and i know they aren’t all requests but i can imagine a large part of them are! you impress me daily w your writing but also in how you do not shut down by 2k people in your ask box!

the thing is by the time i have some wip to share its ready to post! with drabbles for requests i usually write them in one sitting. even long ones i try to marathon them all in one go and when that doesn't work I usually lose interest. and yes omg i would say way more than half are requests, some are requests from june! I've done big clean ups of my inbox and deleted hundreds that I likely wouldn't ever write to try and stay organised, but the downside is that you feel very guilty!

i don't mind sharing at all, i kind of want to impress upon people some reassurance that's like — i didn't answer your message because i am overwhelmed by messages, not because you didn't deserve a response or because i didn't like your requests. it's kind of a cry for patience from me, cos i get lots of messages asking "did you get my request?" and of course im happy to try and answer that question but most of the time i can't cos i just don't know! it isn't feasible to answer everything i get, and even if it were i would prefer to dedicate my free time to writing or my irl responsibilities. that doesn't mean im not endlessly grateful for them

BLAH BLAHBLAH god I can talk! I will say that receiving so many messages is totes overwhelming, but when I turn off my ask box I feel kind of disconnected from you guys in a way, and i like that people want to chat with me sometimes!

you are really so nice. my question is I would love to do this, I would love to have like a poll of what requests people want me to do. I think that would be so cool, like which ones do the collective want to see first? I'll write just about anything although I haven't been in the mood for smut lately and so I am really happy to do what the people want kind of thing ! cos I love you guys and it makes me feel very useful to create stuff that everybody enjoys :D

How to Blow Like a Professional

After writing Giving My First Blowjob with a big cock, I realized how frequently fellatio comes up in my life (which is SHOCKING considering how many times I've done it on camera). So I'm back to chat about BLOWEYS some more! I hate to brag, but I've never had a complaint and am confident in my D S'N abilities.

I was recently asked, "How do you do something wrong?" How can guys and girls offer BAD HEAD? What are they doing, reading too many awful COSMO tips?!" So I decided to poll a number of my male friends (straight, bi, homosexual, and a couple of porn performers) and ask them, "What are some of your least favorite things that girls/guys do when giving you a blow job?" "What are some of your favorite moves?"

My findings were intriguing but not particularly shocking. I keep in mind that not every woman will have the same style, and not every guy will have the same tastes. There's nothing wrong with that; each to their own! This list of the ten worst things you can do during a blow job is based on the most common comments from men, followed by my thoughts, personal experience, and general advice. I also ran it by Lexi Belle, who won Best Oral Sex Scene at the 2013 AVN Awards for her scene in Massive Facials 4. (Elegant Angel Productions). So there's that. This list has been approved by an award-winning fellatio artist.

NOT ENOUGH SPIT

Hello, ladies. Do you know how friction may be painful if you're not wet enough? The same can be said for a penis. I'm a huge spit fetish, so spit strings, repetitive spitting, and drool literally pouring down from my mouth down my tits to my pussy are some things I'm into, but some people think that's excessive and gross, but oh well, it's what I like.

Whatever you want to do, just make sure there's some oral lubrication going on. If you can deep swallow, try inhaling through your nose and swallowing repeatedly (like drinking a thick milkshake or whatever reminds you to swallow and open your throat - you're going for that GUH GUH GUH sound), and if you choke or gag on it a little, you should be able to get a LOT of spit going. Keeping hydrated and having water at the bedside is obviously important, but that should go without saying.

Side note: If you know you can't deep throat without gagging uncontrollably, and you've recently eaten or drunk beer or an energy drink, I wouldn't recommend choking on that penis unless you and your partner have a vomit fetish. I considered making "DO NOT VOMIT" its own point, but I think that's a given. That's not the end of the world if it happens, but it'll be embarrassing. Any guy should be flattered you puked from trying to fit in as much as possible. That is dedication. And, indeed, I have. Twice. It's not the most exciting, but you'll be OK.

Side note #2: Don't be concerned about the strange noises that kissing, gagging, and sucking creates. Those sounds just serve to stimulate the male's mental state and boner. Slurp all you want.

NO VISUAL CONTACT

During oral, the eyes are quite crucial. Smile confidently at them. I'm not suggesting you have to stare deep into his soul the entire time, but if you don't look up at him even once, he might believe you're embarrassed or bored. Allow the joy of servicing his magnificent tool to shine through your eyes! This leads me to my next point...

NO SENSE OF PLEASURE OR PRIDE

Now, come on. I know some of you aren't big fans of giving head (I don't understand your point of view, but I guess I can respect that everyone has different preferences), but at the absolute least try to appear to be having fun and not doing it out of necessity. I hope you're having fun because I'd hate to hear someone do something they don't want to do merely to impress a guy. In fact, never feel obligated to provide a blow job; if you don't want to and the guy complains, perhaps you shouldn't be blowing that whiney child in the first place.

It's not exactly a major turn-on to suck a dick when it's the last thing you want to do at the time. I get a lot of pleasure from pleasing my partner, therefore GIVING is almost as much joy for me as receiving! I enjoy doing everything in my power to ensure that he has a good time while I'm on my knees. I see myself telling that penis a very fucking wonderful secret. Try not to think about anything other than the cock in your mouth and how it makes you and your partner feel, what drives you on and enjoy being perverts together at that moment. Don't be scared to express your pleasure verbally, but your mouth should be more busy sucking than speaking!

 EXCESSIVE TEETH

I've seen males that don't mind and are even into Small teeth grazing on the shaft or even light bites on the balls... But, once again, THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Most guys I've talked to about this have reported a general aversion to tooth-to-dick contact. Open that jaw with caution! I believe this problem occurs most frequently when the giver is in a hurry or cannot find a decent rhythm. If necessary, take a little break, a breather, or a glass of water, but avoid treating the dick like a toothbrush. However, you can and should treat it like lipstick; sometimes it's pleasant to smear it all over the outside of your mouth before swallowing it like a creamsicle. I like to push it into the inside of my cheek (like putting your finger in your mouth sideways... not rocket science) and against the cheek wall (NOT BACK TEETH) before popping it out of my mouth before adding more spit, giving just enough time with my mouth off of the cock to add to the anticipation of its return.

INSUFFICIENT HANDS/IMPROPER HAND USE

I rarely deliver a handy that does not result in a blowie. I frequently combine hand job actions with mouth moves, using the hands as an extension of the mouth. Don't be scared to hold the base firmly and apply some pressure. Don't overlook the SPIT factor. Rotating the hand and varying the pressure, pace, and length of the stroke are also beneficial. Mix it up and see what happens! If you can wrap two hands around the penis and keep your mouth on the head, move up and down rhythmically while twisting the hands in opposing directions, clockwise and counterclockwise. Don't hold it as if you're terrified to touch it, and don't suck it as if your mouth is trying to escape. Maintain a firm grasp but don't rip it off, and spit whether your mouth is on the head or not! Check out Bonnie Rotten's smart ideas during her POV blow job in Facial Overload #3 for a good example of hand utilization and pretty much every subject discussed here (Evil Angel Productions). She definitely has good eye contact.

[chenoehi]

From what I've seen just from Quora and Twitter (since I'm active on that bird app now), while Jimin is arguably the most popular member internationally and maybe is the most popular in SK now, who knows, I'd definitely disagree that Jungkook is the most popular overall even if we say Jimin isn't the most popular either.

Basically, if it's not Jimin then it's Taehyung. The cold truth is that he has many solo stans and a vast majority of fans are Tae biased, and he's popular with Twitter locals everytime BTS does something in the West, and he's genuinely popular because he has a unique voice and he's a handsome guy. But he definitely has tons of solo stans like Jimin has a lot of solo stans too and they both are very popular overseas.

So based on what I see it's more likely between Jimin and Taehyung than Jimin and any other member of BTS. I'm putting Jimin first for brand recognition, poll results, stream numbers for his solo songs, streams for Promise (still #1), and his untouchable popularity in the West. As an i-army, I feel confident speaking to the fact that he's popular enough on his own. Especially when tons of people in the West were supporting Promise even when it was just Jimin and not 'BTS'.

To be fair, we have to look at polls, solo song streams, and Soundcloud streams too. Namjoon put out Mono and it was popular but like Hope World it doesn't have nearly the streams that Jimin and Taes songs have; meanwhile, Jungkook's covers have fewer streams, August D was out years ago and so fewer new fans know about it, and Jin has put covers out over time sporadically. One reason why Tae and Jimin could have more streams is because it's just one song for each while the others have more, and another is that people purposely streamed those songs to get the numbers up whereas they might not have for Mono, Hope World, August D, and other projects. Jungkook's covers are just that, covers.

When Jungkook puts out his mixtape it could rack up streams and blow everyone else out of the water, we'll have to see when we get there. Right now, August D saw the least success out of the three current rap line mixtapes but it was also put out years ago and their popularity has skyrocketed since then. If Yoongi out something out now it'd get a lot more attention, and same thing for Hobi. Everything they've done even just recently has continued to open doors for them and win people over who'd never heard of BTS before. By the time the maknae line puts out their first albums so many people are going to be all over it. If they put out subunit work people are going to be all over it even if it's not the full BTS lineup because enough people internationally know who they are now and will know them by name and by their work even if they're not all on the song or album, etc.

Obviously, Jungkook's covers aren't going to get the streams that his mixtape will, and we know Euphoria is kicking ass in streams.

But, that one fact isn't enough to negate the consistent polls, Soundcloud solo streams, and the streams for album solos.

Popularity is a tricky thing to pin down for many reasons, but one thing I've found interesting: Hobi has always dealt with negativity from toxic fans and being compared to 'idol rappers' (which is NOT what the rap line is, they write and produce their own stuff) and the other rappers were already established before BTS and have more experience rapping, etc. BUT. Even though Hope World was just Hobi's FIRST mixtape he is now the most followed Korean solo artist on Spotify. August D came out years ago, Namjoon has put out several mixtapes now, but Hobi is the most followed Korean solo artist, or at least the most followed male solo artist. That's an interesting fact that was surprising to hear considering he's claimed to be one of the least popular members, he ranks lower in brand recognition, etc.

So basically, popularity can never be based on one fact or statistic and one alone.

' right now Jimin has topped BR in Korea for 4 consecutive months, was the Gallup Idol of 2018 etc' you basically ignored everything i wrote...typical.. did i refute him being #1 in korea? DID 1? everything else u mentioned can be said for other members and it's indeniable jk is the most popular. end of discussion. euphoria on the charts has proved that and is coming to outstream lie and serendipity in just a few months since it's been on spotify. muah

How is that statement “undeniable”? Literally, how? Prove it to me with facts, not just with your words. Back it up.

Anyway, putting Jk and JM against each other is just about the dumbest thing you can do, considering they hold nothing but love and admiration for one another.

I’m sorry if you can’t accept that truth but Jimin is the one with the most achievements and engagements to his name now. And he is the most recognisable to the general public but you’re all used to living in the past. It seems you’re all gravely misinformed considering how many “ot7” accounts deliberately never translate news related to Jimin (one even openly admitted it)

Other than for bragging rights, popularity doesn’t even matter that much but go off , I guess.

[actuallyamharpg]

Howdy Ya’ll let’s make an MHA RPG!

...Well said.

I’m a bored collage kid with a bit of free time, so I thought I’d make a dumb little fan rpg for a series I love to bits. Incidentally because there’s a fun fantasy rpg ending, popularity poll picture, and incredibly common Au this will be hard to find and google for which is great!

Cause its going to be a catastrophe.

STARING:

Bakugo!

Dark shadow!

and Surprises!

Currently Boasting:

12 Explorable maps! With more on the way!

A story maybe!

Bakugo swearing! (But not for long.)

Yanfly scripts! (they’re just so stable)

A wendigo Hidden

Pettable rabbits!

And the ugliest place holder sprites you’ll ever see!

Check out this Denki:

He preys for the sweet release of death.

Currently not boasting but definitely on the chopping block:

Maps not made of the standard tilesets (but you will be waiting a long time on this)

Non place holder sprites (again there a time skin and will go wit motivation)

A hell pot more Mugshots (I love drawing mugshots. To the point nothing gets done so they have to wait)

5 days of adventure (in game)

Perhaps one laugh

The sweet melodic symphony of Deku muttering

In the meantime if you have any questions, suggestions, ideas, flames, death invitations, comments, Cease and Desists, or otherwise drop by the ask box and don’t be afraid to ask!

Current schedule for updates: whenever I make updates to the game. Going to try to at least cobble some things up once a week. probably make it Friday.

Th preemptive question answer section:

Q: Is/when will there be a demo?

A: When the first day and night are done. Possible when two are done. I’d rather wait and give you something that can be played for at the moment there’s simply not enough.

Q: If you didn’t have enough for a demo why bother make a blog or announce it you charlatan?

A: I really really love making silly update notes and I thought it would help me not loose steam to actuality see the progress made.

Q: You made a typo.

A: Get ready for that I am extremely dyslexic. I had 3 people double check this post alone.

Q: Why are you doing this?

A: Bored.

Q; what program are you using?

A: get ready to be disappointed as its just rpg maker Mv.

Q: How much of this are you doing by yourself?

A: Just about everything that’s not music or plugins. I’m going to eventually draw everything, but first I’m making everything on the... let’s say, ‘graphically distressing’  and ‘fast’ side so that I can actuality make a game and not lose confidence cause all I have is a stack of mugshots, 3 pretty maps, and 2 character sprites. Otherwise the story, the plot, the character art, eventually the maps, and the setting up of events, encounters, enemy sprites, etc etc are me.

And sense I know you guys care about stuff like this I only have one sprite sheet I googled and got from someone else. I’m garbage at figuring out dimensions I can use for sprite sheets and I’ve only just started using MV (I've used VX ace for much longer) so I had to get a larger sv battle sprite sheet to figure out what I can work with.

Besides Michel Jackson has no place on the battle field!

Q; What are you going to do for music?

A: For now i’m just using whatever just cause i hate silence.

Q: How much of the show have you seen?

A: None. :)

Q: Well how much of the manga have you read?

A: None. :D

Q: WHAT?! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU MAKE A GAME LIKE THIS FOR SOMETHING YOU HAVEN’T SEEN/READ YET?

A: I have this ‘friend’ you see. Irresponsible sort that I will nickname Spoiler-chan. You cannot escape Spoiler-Chan’s endless spoilers. Especially when you think its going to be about a show you wont watch or care about.  Especially when she forces you to read her fanfics and comment on them. its just easier to get spoiled then let her destroy you.

Q: Oh no....not...one of those types....

A: She’s also the sort to let you go months with bad information; I had only seen three pictures of MHA when she first presented it to me and explained everything for me so disjointedly with someone else i could accurately hold a conversation about most events in the stain arc but I thought Deku had augmented bunny powers and Bakugo punched grenades out of his fist. Because all i had seen were Deku’s costume, Baukgo's costume and that one picture were they all swapped costumes and Bakugo had Momo’s power.

Incidentally I do want to buy the mangas when I can get the chance to.

Q: Go watch it right now you fool! There online somewhere!

A: You underestimate how internet illiterate i am and how bad my google-fu is. I’d rather just wait to buy the physical releases.

Q: oh i’ve gotta bone to pick with you now! What the hell can i call you in the ask box when I grill you one?

A: An insult will work. I don’t really care. My friend's all love adding chan suffix to make me suffer though, so just be sure to add that.
