one percent , itadori yuji
x gn!black cat!reader ! mentions of ijichi, calls you 'baby' and 'cupcake',
author's note: i dont like this but i wanted it out of my drafts so.... in thought? cool idea. the way i wrote it? uhhh... questionable. + i rushed at the end and idk how to fix it </3 please i just wanted this out of my drafts okay 😭
─────────────୨ৎ─────────────
ten percent.
it's afterschool, and you got six text messages in a row, all of them from itadori. something about picking up a call? you don't even know. you don't even have enough time to read the first before the next comes, all of which being complete gibberish with letters all over the place. for a bit, your finger hovers over the notification banner, before being rudely interrupted by a... call. wow, what a surprise. of course, it's itadori too.
you pick up.
"hello—"
"BABYYYYY!"
ouch. it was a mistake not putting it on speaker. you pull the phone away from your ear and change the audio, sighing before deciding to speak again. "what's up?"
"my phone is dying!" wow, also what a surprise, somehow, itadori's phone is never changed, and after your facetimes at night, you'd remind him to change his phone, but in the middle of the day?
"then why are you calling me? that's gonna drain it quicker."
"no, no, that's all part of the plan." he pauses. seems like he's breathing heavy. "i figured that if i call you, the quicker i'd try to get back to my dorm. so—"
"you're running?"
"yep!"
nine percent.
you had to take a pause yourself from the multiple thoughts running (no pun intended) through your head. "why aren't you near the school?"
"i was on—" he stops again. "i was on a mission!"
"without telling me?"
"sorrrrryy, sorry, okay? i forgot." oh, now he's getting sulky. "you're always getting so angry at me. i'm strong, you know?"
"yeah, yeah. i know." you thought he would say something else afterwards, but considering he's in a race with his own phone percentage at the moment, you'll have to do most of the talking. "where was it?"
"where was what?"
"the mission."
"oh! somewhere in shinjuku." minus the heaving breathing, itadori said that so casually you had to think about what he actually said. shinjuku is near the center of tokyo. and where is the school? on the outskirts of tokyo, in the mountains. just how fast and far does he have to be running to reach is dorm?
eight percent.
now, this is concerning. "and you're running from there? that's too far! yuji, you're not going to make it!"
"nothing is too far if it's you i'm running for!"
the scoff that came from you really couldn't be prevented. "you're embarrassing." thank god he didn't facetime you, if that would even be possible from his perspective, otherwise you'd have to hide the blush on your face with your hoodie.
itadori chuckles a bit, slightly interrupted by a quick 'excuse me!'. must've nearly bumped into someone. "might be~"
"no— actually, why isn't ijichi picking you up? he has a car for a reason. don't waste your battery on me."
"i haven't done cardio in a while. everything is a training opportunity if you try hard enough."
"...seriously?" you deadpan. "you're running from shinjuku all the way to the school. how is that training?"
seven percent.
"i was busy— you know. practicing cursed energy and stuff, so i— oi, how has it gone from seven to four percent that quick?!"
four percent. (according to him)
"that's what happens when you call someone. it drains it quicker. didn't i tell you that right at the beginning?"
"oh come on, don't be like that, cupcake! hearing your voice is motivating for me."
"concerning."
"is not! 'm nearly there, okay? just believe in me."
"mm."
his voice suddenly grows a little quiet. "baby?"
"what?"
"believe in me."
"i am."
"say it. please?"
you sigh. "i believe in you." it really can't be helped, can it?
three percent.
the dangling charms on your phone twirl around your finger as you fiddle with them, half-absently listening to the noises of his shoes hitting the ground and the surroundings getting less and less loud. "how much longer till you get there?"
"i dunno... five minutes? i'll make it in less than anyway."
"your phone's not gonna hold out for another five minutes on four percent. have you seen how quick the battery drops even when it's off?" your eyebrows furrow, and you switch your phone from one ear to the other.
"well, you never know. it's been pretty good, and it's on three—" itadori's voice lightens, and you know exactly what that means.
two percent.
"...two percent now."
"yuji."
he chuckles sheepishly. "relaaax, baby! i'll just run faster."
"your stamina scares me." you hear a constant pitter-patter coming from his side and it seems like he's heading up the lengthy steps leading up to the entrance. "nearly?"
"very much nearly! i— i'm nearly at my room!"
you sigh, but it's more in amusement than anything. "congratulations."
one percent.
"yes! yes! i made it—!" the call suddenly cuts off.
oh.

SURPRISE TO GO
kim seungmin × reader - fluff, non idol au, coffee shop au, barista!seungmin - 1.1k
summary - seungmin spends his birthday working because his friends are busy. but are they really?
links - masterlist
yall i finally finished this. i forgot about seung's birthday and none of my drafts felt right so i wrote this quickly today. it's still 22nd in korea so i'm still on time. happy seungmin day! happy birthday my love! <333
no proofread and written in hurry. i hope you still enjoy and let me know your thoughts! <3
The bell rang above your head as you entered the small café. There were not many people inside at this hour. It was nearing the evening and the café was slowly going to sleep, people leaving and employees cleaning the emptying tables. You looked over the place, your eyes stopping at the coffee station. There he was, busy with preparing drinks and looking stupidly hot while doing it. Nope, focus, not the time for that now.
You felt it was a crime to make Seungmin work on his birthday, but volunteered anyway, when another barista called in that morning with food poisoning. When you asked why he did it, he just replied why not, the extra money was always worth it and his friends were busy anyway today.
Which was true. But not for the reason Seungmin thought. Ever since this morning, your secret group chat was blowing up with things going wrong. First the cake you ordered arrived damaged, then the restaurant canceled on you at the last minute… it was always something. Even now, you felt your phone constantly buzzing in your pocket.
You found yourself at a quiet corner table, where Seungmin wouldn't immediately see you from where he was and you took out your phone, dreading whatever catastrophe was awaiting you. Rolling your eyes at the chat name (seriously, who let Hyunjin name it?) you opened the messages.
SEUNGMINNIE'S BIRTHDAY BONANZA CLUB
sunshine baby sent a photo
sunshine baby: me and minho-hyung just saved the day!!
work of ART: wow the cake looks amazing lix
work of ART: me and changbin-hyung are almost done with wrapping the presents
work of ART: btw who's idea was it to do everything with pochacco paper? i hate that damn dog now he's everywhere 😭
devil bunny: stop being dramatic hyunjin you volunteered 🙄
DAD(dy): karaoke reservation for 7pm confirmed
DAD(dy): get your asses here and help innie with decorating
Oh. Finally some good news. You quickly responded to the guys, deciding on when to bring Seungmin to the karaoke. Checking the time, you realized you had about an hour left before Seungmin's shift ends and you need to somehow get him to the karaoke, where there is a surprise party waiting for him. Hopefully. But you trusted Chan that he can handle his six chaotic kids and nothing would go wrong again.
Deciding to make your presence known, you walked up to the counter. “Hey Seung,” you said, leaning your forearms on the counter as you checked the menu. “I'll have… whatever this is.” You pointed to the picture of this month's special drink, not daring to guess what was inside. But it looked big and complicated enough to hopefully fill some of the hour you had.
“Y/N.” Seungmin looked up in surprise, his lips immediately stretching into a soft smile when he saw it was you. He looked almost surprised to see you there. “What are you doing here?”
“I had to see my favourite boy,” you smiled. “And because he's working today…” You looked up, your eyes meeting his. Looking into Seungmin's eyes was always an experience. His dark, deep, chocolate eyes held the stars of the universe in them and you often found yourself weak to the love you saw when he looked at you. Sometimes, it took all your willpower to not avert your gaze. It felt like a bright beam of the sun, blinding and warm at the same time. And you weren't backing now.
If Seungmin's coworker was here, he would have by now uttered some ridiculous comment about the very obvious tension and to get a room. Luckily for you, Jongho was cleaning up spilled coffee, facing away from you.
“I wouldn't drink that if I were you,” Seungmin chuckled. What? Oh right, you were ordering a drink.
“Why not? It looks… fun?”
“It's disgusting as fuck.” Seungmin quickly looked around, letting out a relieved sigh when his manager was nowhere to be seen. “Our manager keeps coming up with insane things, but it went downhill after the first one. I'll make you your usual?” he offers instead.
You chuckled at his answer. He was the expert here. “Sure, thank you baby.”
Seungmin winked at you and began making your usual order. Moving away to not stand in the way but to have a good view of your boyfriend still, you leaned on the counter.
You loved watching Seungmin to do just about anything. He moved with practiced ease, knowing the steps by heart. If you woke him up at midnight and told him to do something, he would excel at it half asleep. He was calm, confident and always knew what to do. It was hot.
“There you go.” Seungmin slid your drink over to you and you smiled when you saw a cookie next to the cup.
“Is this the girlfriend privilege?” you laughed, carefully unwrapping the cookie and breaking it in half. You waited for when Seungmin was free again to call him over and feed him half of the cookie as he laughed and protested he's on the clock and shouldn't. As it turned out, bothering Seungmin was a great way to pass up your time and before you knew it, he was clocking out and offering his hand to you so you could leave together.
You led Seungmin to the karaoke, making up a lie about how you wanted to eat dinner together to explain why you weren't taking the usual route back to his and Felix's place.
“Karaoke?” Seungmin raised his eyebrow when you arrived in front of the building.
“You like singing and the buffet is great?” you shrugged, pulling him inside.
You made your way to one of the rooms, leading Seungmin into the darkness. “Happy birthday Seungmin!” the guys shouted as you flicked on the light, revealing your friends, balloons and gifts wrapped in matching wrapping paper and the cake Felix and Minho made.
While Seungmin stared in shock, you grabbed your present, lining up with the guys to congratulate him. “Thank you, Y/N,” Seungmin smiled as he received the box and you knew it wasn't just for the gift.
Later you watched him unwrap the presents with a glass of champagne in hand, enjoying his reactions to the gifts of all sorts. Sentimental ones, nice ones, and Minho's. That one deserved its special category, because the way he doubled over in laughter when he saw the shorts and couldn't show you for a solid two minutes, was something you very rarely saw. His eyes sparkled, barely visible with how much he laughed and that would forever be your favourite sight.

Heya, not sure if you're still writing headcanons but what about Lady nagantXreader where Kaina hinted about the possibility of having kids with the reader and/or Kaina finding out that she's the reader's main fave heroine and she's their sapphic awakening growing up (I'm not sure if you're comfy headcanon-ing an age gap where reader and Kaina are both adults, the reader is in their 20's). You can choose which one you write or both, but please don't feel obligated to do this at all. Thank you for your time!
A/n; YALL IM ALIVE I SWEAR 😭 I've been writing, and I have a pile of unfinished fanfics in my drafts rn because life has been kicking me in the ass. I'm still taking requests right now though‼️
I WILL be writing for both of these because I think these are such cute ideas. (I'm not caught up with mha so this might be ooc)
Kaina tsutsumi/lady nagant x reader
- honestly, I think she'll be so subtle about wanting a kid, you won't even notice at first.
-shell occasionally throw in light hearted comments about what she would do if she had a kid. Or maybestare a little too long at mothers with their kids in the supermarket
-this will progressively get more frequent and she'll start to get EXTEREMELY obvious about it (without directly saying anything)
(Imagine this)
You're in the kitchen of your shared apartment, cooking up some dinner for your lovely wife/girlfriend after a long day.
You're turned away from her, leaning over the stovetop when she suddenly appears behind you.
"I want a baby." She says, completely serious and dead faced.
You laugh at how badly she managed to scare you, until it finally sets in what she said, you gently urge her to repeat incase you misheard her or something (how you could've misheard that? I don't know, don't ask me)
"A baby. I want one." She repeats. Still completely serious.
And scene.
- if you decide to go the IVF, adoption or surrogate route is completely up to you. She's just happy to be there.
-personally, I think this woman would be an AMAZING mother
-If this is pre tartarus, I don't think she'd be around much because of her hero work. But she she's off work, she'll try her best to just give you a break
-post tartarus, she'll obviously be around more. Alway ready to help you and the baby whenever you need (or don't need) it
-except for cooking.
-she can't cook.
-when it comes to quirks, she'll 100% keep your child from the HPSC. Under no circumstances will your child be doing any hero work.
-She's seen too many people get lost to that kind of thing and she just can't have it happen to her own flesh and blood.
-for the second part, i wrote it as if she never ended up going to Tartarus because i lowkey forgot about it.. uhm
-if you're a civilian, you both will probably meet in a situation where she ends up saving you somehow.
-you sheepishly thank her and she ends up asking for your number
-you both keep in contact, eventually growing closer and going on dates.
-despite this, she doesn't talk much about her hero work and you don't really ask
-until, that is, she comes out of your bedroom holding a notebook
-YOUR note book from about 10 years ago
-opened to a page you made with corny sketches and doodles of her.
-you immediately jump at her, trying to grab the sketch but she holds it over your hand with that stupid grin on her face.
-initially, you thought thed be mad about the situation and your childhood crush
-but she honestly just thinks its a silly quirk of yours, and a bit ironic that you guys ended up dating.
(no imagine for this one, sorry i didn't know what to put 😭)

Saw your Peach AU art and it got me wondering:
What was her reasoning for using the crown long term? Is it a secret that is revealed later? Or are mario and luigi told right away? Does bowser know? So many questions!!
Of course if anything I ask is a spoiler you don't have to answer!
oh my god i forgot to save my draft 😭 i’ll try to remember what i wrote
1. it really wasn’t her decision to use the crown but more of a tradition of the royal family that had gone on for some time. it’s something she learned how to properly use growing up, alongside toadette and toadiko :]
since the mushroom kingdom is rather prominent (major source of healing mushrooms, exporter of the main ? block material, and the transportation pipe hub), it has been the target of conquests before, especially when the ruler was perceived to be as weak as a toad. they aren’t very strong constitutionally, and the mushroom kingdom does not have the best military even in war time, so one of their ‘defenses’ is a ‘human’ with strong magic like peach.
i definitely think it’s not out of the question for there to have been an actual human ruler before the crown began to be used, but that would have been some time ago.
i’m still deciding on how much of a secret this is in the mushroom kingdom. i’m leaning more towards a forgotten fact among her people, as peach is never in public in her toad form but she is nonetheless accepted and beloved by her subjects.
(peasley knows on account of the beanbean kingdom’s relationship with the mushroom kingdom and an early hope that they could be betrothed. this obviously doesn’t happen but they are close regardless. i’m not sure if daisy knows, but i would like her to)
2. mario and luigi are not immediately told, and fairly so. though they had sought out and rescued the princess not long after arriving in the kingdom, the two are still strangers and liabilities that were attempting to return home to brooklyn anyway. toadsworth would’ve had a heart attack if she did 💀 it’s only after they settle and mario starts getting especially close with peach that this becomes an issue. since she’s perceived as the only human besides themselves and daisy, a bit of their relationship seems to be built on the two being alike.
peach waffles and stalls on telling him because of the obvious safety issue for herself but also her fear that she will lose everything with mario since she isn’t what he thinks she is.
and ofc, once mario knows, luigi will know as well.
they do find out, though! eventually! :D
3. bowser absolutely does not know, and it is peach’s imperative that it stays that way. bowser is the main threat to the mushroom kingdom and if there is anything that he can use to obtain victory, he will use it. he is also in love/lust with peach which doesn’t help matters. peach is terrified of the possibility that he finds out somehow, and believes if this ever happens he will kill her.
once the bros know, they pull out all the stops to keep this illusion up in the event that the four are interacting with each other, but this is rare.
(bowser has seen peach’s toad form, though! 🩵 he just doesn’t know it)
#gari’s asks#smb#toad peach au#they call me the queuer#ty for the ask! :^)#ngl i didn’t even think about the concept of spoilers. maybe i should 🤡

I was bored when i wrote this but this is also inspired by my other friend named Xavier who gave me this recommendation :) (ily btw/p)
THIS IS BxB. I will re-write this as BxG, BxN. If you are a fem, its okay, you can read this as a G!P if you don’t mind/ignore the “he/him” pronouns on y/n 😭 enjoy!
WARNING(s): smut, bdsm, bj, just my writing in general 😭💀
“Ugh…” I groaned. I was INSANELY bored out of my mind, but also depressed because I was reading one of my fav books but it ended at a cliffhanger. I was very upset about it until I heard a knock at my door, leaving me forgetting my own thoughts.
I get out of my bed and walk over to my door, seeing Damiano standing at my door, holding a bag and an un-protected/un-wrapped box. “Hey Dam..what’s that?” I asked him, looking at the bag and the box. “I got this for you, handsome.” He replied back to me in a flirtatious manner. “Oh..okay.” I say blandly. “What’s the matter baby? You look and sound annoyed and upset about something.” He said softly, lifting up my chin with his thumb. “I was reading a book and it didn’t end how I’d expected to be. It was left at a cliffhanger.” I told him, backing up a little so he can enter my room. He sat down on my bed comfortably and I sat down next to him. “Ah, okay. Mind telling me what it was about, bambino?” I blushed a bit when he started speaking little Italian. “Well it was a steamy book.” I reply to him. “Steamy? You mean Sesso?” He replied back. “Um..yes.” I answered him. “Hmm..why don’t I make it a reality to make you feel better?” I get flustered at the sudden remark. “Alright..maybe that’ll take my mind off of it, I suppose.” I say.
-TIMESKIP CUZ IM LAZY AF AND FORGOT ALL ABOUT WRITING THIS SHIT..LIKE SERIOUSLY I LEFT THIS SHIT IN MY DRAFTS FOR FUCKING MONTHS 😭😭😭 AND I ACCIDENTALLY SWITCHED POVS SO THAT WAS 1ST PERSON AND THIS IS 3RD PERSON-
“D-DADDY!~” You moaned out loudly. Damiano currently had you bent over on your bed, fucking and pounding the life out of you. You couldn’t help but to moan every pump. Your ass was red as hell from the belt spankings, your hands were tied in a pretty pastel ribbon, you’re legs were tied with a rope, and you both were sweaty as hell. Dami was still pounding you, having your thoughts go wild. “You like how Daddy feels inside of you, hm?”. You nodded, as all your abnormal moaning, you couldn’t barley even speak other than screaming, crying, begging, and pleading out for your life. You we’re almost sure the neighbors could hear you guys. “More, yeah?” He teasingly asked you. “Y-Yes!~” You muffled a little bit into the pillow. He went deeper and harder inside of, causing louder moans coming from you. Dami was moaning as well, but not as loud as we you were. He grinned, seeing the sight of his handsome prince in front of him bent over. “Who do you belong to, baby boy?~” He purred out. “You, Dadd-Y-AAHHH~” You cried out. He had whipped you again. “Not loud enough, pretty boy. Again.” He asked you slyly and in his whore voice. “Y-YOU DADDY~” You nearly screamed out. He smiled before you started to speak. “I-I feel it…” you moaned out. “Hm? Fel what~” He teasingly asked. You knew not to try to play games with him, as you were in desperate need to cum. “I..I need to cum..” “Need?” He asked you once more before whipping you again. “I want to cum please, daddy!~” You replied to him. You couldn’t bare it anymore. He’s been edging you for…about a good 30 minutes, but allowed himself to cum a few times. “Hmm…fine, sweet boy~” He moved faster and deeper into you. You screamed out once you finally got to cum. You already knew what was next, but realized you couldn’t move. “Awh, poor boy can’t get up and move? Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” He pulled himself out before gently moving your body, your head facing him and his now wet dick. You looked up at him with just your eyes but before opening your shaky mouth so he could dick your throat down. You gave him his desired bj as he moaned out. He almost moaned as loud as you before he started thrusting against you. Thankfully, because of him, you didn’t have any sorta gag reflex. “Good boy, taking and handling like a pro.” You smile against his dick before going faster. You heard him moan out before letting some of his cum shoot inside your mouth. You swallowed it nonetheless and carried on. A few minutes pass before his moan become more whoreish. Before you could realize what was about to happen, he came inside your mouth more harder this time, and you swallowed it up almost instantly. You backed away a little bit while you both were breathing heavy.
He untied you on both the legs and hands and gave you soft kiss on the lips. He gently laid you both down for a bit before speaking softly into your ear. “Let’s go take a shower?” He asked before nipping on your ear. “Lets.” You say while getting up along with him to the bathroom, and you both shower together
THE FAKANG END

✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?
☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?
✄ what’s your editing process?
✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?
tysm for the ask!! 🩵🩵 be prepared for a lot of yapping
✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?
easiest fic: this is a bit of a hard qn bc ive written 58 fics so far through the years and i forgot half the things i wrote kfjjfj but id say, the easiest was probably my first ever real fic, i.e. this hualian hurt/comfort fic where hc has a nightmare of the 100 swords scene. it was the first thing i wrote right after finishing reading tgcf and i wrote it all in one go and the dialogue & actions & characterization flowed so easily, i could picture the scene so easily in my head (which doesn't always happen for me). and writing hualian felt like the easiest thing in the world bc back in 2020 every little detail about them as characters and as a ship was imprinted in my mind so vividly... i miss those days 😔 my memory abilities have deteriorated since then
otherwise, iirc my first ever fengqing fic and my fenglian poem were also very easy to write
hardest fic: 😭😭 this could be so many of my fics tbh, there's so many i struggle so much with.. especially the unfinished wips, bc everything i actually posted means it wasn't the hardest, since i actually managed to finish them
but among my posted wips, i definitely struggled with the earlier chapters of my hualian fake dating au very badly at the earlier chapters and almost gave up on it which was why there was a 1-2 year gap btwn updates 😭😭 i actually went into a 1-2 year long burnout right after posting chap 1. luckily though, the most recent chapters got much better for me, finally reached a part of the story that's much easier and more fun to write (except that i wrote myself into a bit of a corner so ive been brainstorming how to get out of it). i just struggle a lot with multichaps bc my executive dysfunction issues make it very overwhelming for me to plot things. but im very determined to see this fic through to the end and finish my first ever multichap!
there's a lot more i struggled with - usually longer fics, fics for a new fandom (especially visual media fandoms. book/text-based fandoms are much easier bc you already have a canon peek into their character voice and narration style), non-canon ships that need a lot of wrangling to be believable, fics where i worry a lot about being ooc, fics that need action scenes or a real plot
the rest of the qns answered under the cut:
☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?:
😭 it depends on why im stuck. i might ask someone for help w characterization. sometimes i just go for a jog/walk to clear my head and it works, otherwise if im rly stuck, especially plot-wise, I'll procrastinate and put the fic off for weeks/months
✄ what’s your editing process?
just rereading my own draft and rewriting or filling in the blanks where i feel like it can be better or is missing smth. i don't cut scenes often unless they're really bad. sometimes i rearrange entire paragraphs around to make them flow better
✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?
this is an apt question bc i have 2 anon fics rn and had a few in the past that i took off anon a couple of years later.. i think the easiest way to tell is my authors' notes. in both start & end notes i tend to yap + i usually apologize a lot in the start notes
besides that maybe fic titles (mitski). i think the genres and writing tone/vibe through my 50+ fics have varied a lot so i don't think that would be distinctive.. id be interested to hear if my writing style is distinctive bc i have no idea myself 🤔 i know i have some phrases i reuse across fics though (trying to work on that issue), and a bad habit of having long sentences sometimes (ive really been working on reducing this issue)
(send me an ask from the fic ask game part 1 or the fic ask game part 2)
#ty for the asks!!#im sorry for the yapping!!#ask game#spacejammie-eimmajecaps#answered#writing asks

FUCK. I WROTE PART NINE AND HAD IT ALL READY TO GO AND THEN MY KID GOT HER HANDS ON MY PHONE AND CLOSED THE APP. THANK LUCIFER I HAD THE FIRST HALF SAVED AS A DRAFT BUT STILL. OTL sending this separate because I was paranoid she'd do it again and I would have to write the second part a third time 😭 also realizing I forgot to put my sig at the bottom of Pt.9

Hi Meg!
I just finished binge reading GTG and hopped on straight here to yap about it.
I don't think I've EVER had this much fun reading any fic!!! The humour was, the EASTER EGGS from irl F1, the pace, the group dynamic and ofc CarCar!! You guys are absolute geniuses! The jokes during the group interactions were especially my favourite but nothing will beat the utter chaos of the gc when Lando outed CarCar. I had to legit stop reading to laugh at that one for at least a couple of minutes straight!!
And your Charles has got to be my most favourite Charles from ANY fic based in ANY universe!! Loved loved loveddddd his ditzy characterisation.
If you do actually end up writing more for this universe - which I hope you do - I sure hope you consider writing a gc interaction at some point. I would totally not mind the entire spin off or multiple chapters being solely in the chat format. You guys are hilarious, your humour is top notch and so is your writing so I'm sure you'd COOOOOK with it!! And I'd gobble it up!!
Okay that's enough rambling haha. Just, thank you for writing this beautiful fic and for sharing it with the CarCar fandom. We definitely need more CarCar enthusiasts like you to keep this ship sailing!
Wahhhh this is the absolute kindest ask I've ever gotten! Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ We had just so so so much fun writing Grill the Grid, and it makes me immensely happy that people are getting even a fraction of the same joy and laughter out of reading it that we got from writing it.
And I am definitely planning to add more to the GTG-verse! At the risk of making promises I may not 100% deliver on, we already have a couple ideas that we're considering for little bonus oneshots or follow-ups (none are guaranteed to actually be written, but we're having lots of fun spitballing concepts):
An entirely groupchat-based spin-off, like you said! I wrote all the messaging bits in the original story, and they were so fun to do... the texts from the "CarCar get caught" scene in Ch 9 came out of me literally jolting awake at like 4am one day with them having popped into my head fully formed, and I had to frantically type them up in my notes app before I went back to sleep and forgot all about them.
Something Maxiel focused - Their developing background relationship was a really fun part of the story to write, so I've definitely been thinking about ways to make them the focus of a spin-off... either something going back into how their relationship came to be/what they really got up to at that holiday party, or maybe something in the future, like a fluffy little oneshot of Max helping Daniel come up with questions for a week he's not going to be there (including lots of couple-y bickering and subsequent makeup sex, ofc).
The Chaotic Adventures of Charles - My husband sent me this idea in the middle of a workday last week, and I can't stop laughing every time I think about it. 😭😭😭 The idea of Charles getting into Situations all day and then having a Slumdog Millionaire-esque sweep of trivia that night (to everyone else's immense surprise) based on the random things he learned is soooo funnysilly to me. He is allegedly drafting up an outline for me of this and was responsible for most of Charles's funniest lines/general aura in Grill the Grid, so we will see!
4. Galex? - I adored writing Galex's dynamics and would love to write a whole spinoff chapter that focuses on them, but I am stumped by the fact that I never actually decided whether they are together or just, like, intense platonic soulmates. So maybe that's something to be explored? Though I also don't want to ruin their intentional aura of mystery!
5. CarCar in Spain - I've thought a little "meeting the family" oneshot of Carlos and Oscar in Spain for the holidays could be fun... possibly alongside snippets of a trivia night back in Austin that goes very unsuccessfully without their presence, lol.
Anyway, for anyone who enjoyed Grill the Grid enough to read through this entire stream-of-consciousness text wall -- would love to hear what type of spin-offs you'd be most excited to see, or if there are other ideas or characters you think could be fun to explore!! ❤️

Lore dumping my fnaf au
I just remembered that I inserted myself and my best friend into the au for funsies (you'll notice I do that a lot. This is how cringe I am)
In my first draft I went on a rant abt how much I hated Wilbur's face but after going back to fix it I just needed to add his glasses LMAO. Initially I forgot about the face paint until I stared at my ref LMAO it's supposed to look faded and I think I did a pretty damn good job
Other than that the rest is fine. Erm. I didn't think I'd yap so much about that the actual lore is below the cut lawl
This is Maya!!!! (she/they) she's the mechanic in the pizzaplex, is addicted to caffeine, and is my bestest friend !!!!!! In the au we live together and also work at the same place that's so funny ‼️‼️
They usually work the night shift but if there needs to be emergency repairs during the day they're always on call for that. Nights usually consist of checkups and clean up of the animatronics and androids (will get into that later).
Clearly, I have a favorite, so he's also my favorite in the au itself LMAO cSoda works in the daycare but often leaves to bother the animatronics ☝️☝️‼️‼️
the daycare has an art station so that's where they work, they also help clean up and watch over the kids with the daycare androids !!! Who are *drumroll* Mumbo and Grian !!!!
(I forgot the makeup in this doodle,, and apparently the white stripe on the red part of the dress uggghh) the daycare androids are supposed to be more human looking to not scare the little kids, but cartoony (and tall) enough to differentiate from the human coworker. I like to imagine their faces are rly simple bc they're LED screens with projected expressions to make emotions n stuff. Plus I wanted to keep their faces similar to their skins with an in universe reason for it pfsjshgdhdh
Tumblr keeps bugging out every time I wanna post and it's DRIVING ME INSANE !!!! half this post got deleted and I'm SO MAD ABOUT IT but anyway here's the refs I made like 2 years ago. Their designs haven't changed since I made them so I probably won't remake them unless I start hating my old art enough LMAO
The canon heights I never wrote down so here they are: Ranboo 8'0, Wilbur 7'2, Maya 5'4, I'm 5'7, Grian 7'0, Mumbo 8'0, James 7'0, Tommy 6'6, Jimmy 5'5 and Schlatt wasnt in the AU at the time but he's 6'4
I didnt really make this au for anything except silly scenarios and because making the designs were fun pFF ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION Sneeg is dj music man !!!! I never got around to drawing him before since I just figured out recently I wanted him to be dj music man so yeah !!
I know this isn't that much of a lore dump but I think I got all my thoughts out for now lawl everything will be under the animatronicfication au tag :v
I have GOT to draw Wilbur the way I used to. The biblically accurate animatronic eyes do NOT look good in my art style 😭😭 also I just noticed I basically painted the same thing into my sketchbook wtf I completely forgot about this doodle until I found it after digging for au art 🤯🤯
#animatronicfication au#bursona#animatronic wilbur#fnaf au#mcyt au#fnaf security breach#this au is so old i think i made it in 2021#it started out with just mumbo and grain and now look at it#not even my favorite mcyters just like.. creators i like that seemed to fit#although a few of them ARE my favorites

I can't believe your back 😭 I've been so upset and I rarely opened Tumblr these days ever since you've been gone like oml I had no hope that you were coming back but thank God you did. LIKE WE FR BECAME DETECTIVES WHEN YOU WERE GONE JESUS
Also dw take your time rebuilding everything, I'll try to remember and list all the requests that were pending since I always look at the pending reqs (but I may not remember all)
1. Is the merman reader x Explorer luocha thingy where the reader is rude at first but then as time went on they develop feelings and luocha doesn't know that reader is giving jewelry or gifts to luocha cuz it's actually a sign of marriage yada yada
- req by yours truly.
2. I think Sunday?? I forgot the prompt I'm so sorry, I think it's about halovian heat??
3. Uhm the boxer reader x actor Kaeya, your prompt said that reader went to shoot as an extra in a film Kaeya was in I think and they get into a dating rumor
— req by yours truly.
4. Monster blade x Himbo/gentle giant Knight, like blade gets preggo with the knights baby even though he's supposed to be a killing the monster but he got baby trapped instead lol.
- again me sorry about that.
5. Alhaitham I think?? The spy x mafia?? JAJFJW YOU SAID YOU HAD UOUR OWN PROMPT, BUT IN CASE YOU FORGOT: it's like alhaitham got tricked into thinking it's a mission but he's actually sold off by his agency due to debt or smth. Like reader is very manipulative
- me.....
I don't remember anything else I'm so sorry but I hope it helps??
—🪷
🪷 ANON I MISSED YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE SO BAD LOCA
in regards to the requests:
luocha merman one is still on, even though I have to rewrite everything cause it was in my drafts 😭
Sunday heat fic is on 🤞
monster fucking blade is defo on 🥳
Alhaitham and mafia is iffy just cause I can't remember what I was going to do with the plot,,, my mind has been in shambles I lost all my gay smut 😛😛
I might also cancel the Alhaitham mafia one cause I'm so upset abt the fact I wrote like 2 chapters of a long form book for him in my notes app and it's all GONE
fr gonna have to mourn my alhaitham writings IM SO UPSET
Might pick that request back up with a different character 🙏

Forgot to say this earlier but watch me use all pet names I use on my friends, on you when I say something in your inbox (jk maybe idk😭)
No cuz sameee, like I tend to reread it too much until I’m like fuck this I’m not posting it no more, and it ends up in my drafts and it never finds a way out, like sometimes I just can’t help it but do that yk😭😭.
But from what I’ve seen so far 🔮 anon, the stuff you wrote and like sent to Alec through inbox were all so amazing, I know there’s plenty of ppl that will like the things you post, don’t doubt yourself too much mwah❤️.
Ill tag you when I post something abt price (maybe cuz I might get tooo scared to😭)
-🐍
You are more than welcome to do so!! I love pet names and nicknames it’s always been my love language (if it counts as one that is djdjd)
I completely understand! I’ve had it happen with my old man price stuff but I try to think u know I can pour love and time into it and if doesn’t live up to everyone’s expectations at least it lived up to mine
Exactly!! 🔮 anon writes amazing stuff I genuinely mean it when I say that so many of y’all send such amazing ideas I wish u actually posted it on ur own blog bc it’s amazing🧎🏻♂️
And feel free to do it I know it can be nerve wrecking but really I’m just a little guy at the end of the day🫶🏻

SO-16: And Here's the Action!!
If there's a lot of engagement on this, this post is liable to get real long, beware before you expand.
No art, and I'm pissed because I had a really cool idea for this one. Erik is playing with guns and guns are cool! I have played with some guns (in a controlled environment, don't get nervous) and I can confirm that they are very cool. Not cool enough for me to spend money spraying more lead indiscriminately around the environment, but if forty feral hogs habitually showed up on my lawn, I'd have me some fun. Well, I'll edit the art in later, at some point, hopefully.
*ahem*
Welcome to the Engagement Lounge, for The Chatterbox Massacre (SO-16) an instalment! Short comments can go in the replies, but there's a 475 character limit. Longer ones will need a reblog. Remember to @asksoldieron if you're reblogging someone else's reblog, so I can see it too!
😭Waaaaaah I wanted to draw St. George-in-Erik firing guns with magic but I just CAN'T yet! I mean, non-zero chance I'll screw up my first couple illustrations when I can draw again, so I probably shouldn't draw that one first anyway, but I wanna see it. Damn.
IRL, I'm not fond of violence as a solution, but as a writer I appreciate the expedience. BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG! Okay, and now we have a whole bunch of NEW problems. I suppose that's not really a solution at all, but it's still gonna look cool when you imagine it. That's how come they say it's not possible to make an anti-war movie. You script it and make it part of a narrative and put some good actors and effects in it, and it just looks cool. Can't help it, gotta roll with it.
On the other hand, while Erik certainly doesn't deserve to die for being who he is, you can see why the cops prefer to kill immies on sight. Look what they can do! But, on the third hand, look at what Maggie can do. Nobody's going to unload on her for being magical unless she does something and they see it.
Poor Maggie made a little error and punched Mordecai when she really didn't need to, but if you've been reading you may suspect who (or what) put their finger on the scale, and who helped her shrug off David's little god trick. But to tell you the truth, it's like that because I forgot how magic works when I wrote the first draft. I needed her to punch him in the face! Fortunately, their unseen observer needed her to punch him too. We'll get to that when they get home again.
I was surprised by how little time it took to actually kill everyone. (Ha-ha, there's another one of those things I can only say because I'm a writer.) I was worried it needed to be more epic. The spouse advised me that that's just how it is when only one guy has a working gun in a street fight. It's over. People are dead and that's forever. On to the next thing. Bleh. I don't like the idea of it, but it rings true enough.
John is... not doing well, is he? I'd been planning this scene for years but that caught me off guard. I didn't realize what the situation would look like to him until I got him back inside and George handed him a gun. Well, let's see, Erik's family are right there to help him and he knows that, and he's holding an object that will get him out of the way so Erik can go home. Uh, yeah, why wouldn't he? (Currently writing the next 6 and I've almost got him out of Prokovia, and the plot, for the time being. Jenny will put him back together and Rob will forgive him, but Billie might not...)
Next instalment goes up on Erik's birthday, and mine! It's not birthday-themed or anything, but after all this nonsense his family do finally have enough information to get him home. They just have to put it together!
[Back to site?]

Oh god it's been a year already??? April 8??? Wasn't it just March yesterday?
Oh, uh, s h i t
Happy 1 Year Anniversary! (Holy crap)
Man, time sure is f a s t. One year of being here with you guys and just vibing. Zamn. That's crazy.
I know I keep saying this, but I really do appreciate all of you guys for sticking around for so long. I never expected the silly little stories with my silly little characters 13 year old me was writing and creating would come to this in the end. It's honestly just so mind boggling, and I want to say thank you. Thank you for showing your support, for being so patient with me, for those that send such fun asks and prompts to answer, and just being so cool in general. Don't say that you aren't. I'll fight ye on that. I also thank the lurkers in my followers, I know you and I don't tango too much with interactions but your likes, reblogs or just generally looking through is enough for me.
I'd also like to thank the mutuals and friends I made in the IF community and in the Write Club Discord server for being so cool and helpful. I never expected to make any mutuals here, and I'm honestly glad I did.
I'm kissing you all platonically on the cheek because you deserve it for being the best. 💙💙💙
Now, for the Anniversary Special content...... I don't have one written. I already have a short one for 1k Followers and is just waiting to be posted, but I forgot to prep one for the Anniversary. 🥲😭😭
I was planning to make a small IF to commomerate it, but college finals reared its ugly head like a disease so I didn't have enough time. So, instead, I'll just give y'all some Beta and BtS facts about this IF before it came to be as it is now. Hope that'll suffice, and I promise I'll make it up to y'all next year. 😭😭
Back in the earliest drafts for this IF, the prologue was supposed to start with a student Magus summoning an eldritch being from the underside of Reflection and it backfiring completely. The genre was supposed to fully embrace supernatural, but I ended up scrapping it instead for what we have now.
Beta Zephyrine was a mean girl diva; supposedly Fleur's opposite and bully. I changed it after deciding that Zeph's better off being Fleur's opposite in a more positive way (the version Zeph currently is) and genuinely being Fleur's friend, than whatever toxic mess the former was.
Eliseo was originally gonna be the big bad because of well… look at him. I ended up not doing that, because… look at him. He's simpable material, unfortunately.
Emery wasn't supposed to exist. I didn't originally intend for MC to learn nor have magic in the original drafts, thus no Familiar needed either, and let them be a non-magic character in the story. I changed my mind when I thought about how unfair that'll be, since that'll just make MC more of a damsel than a person with autonomy.
The 1586 Accident and the Willowsberg family as a whole was originally supposed to stay as a "myth" and unexplored as a whole. They were supposed to be mentioned only in passing and not talked about again.
In the early drafts, Fleur's parents were already dead/gone and she was working as her family bank's CEO at the start of the story. She was an outside figure that you'll meet through either Zephyrine or Weylyn.
Cooper was originally more of a loveable asshole back in his early characterization stages; smug know-it-all that loves to be a mischief maker. I have no idea what change happened to make him the hyper golden retriever he is now, but I don't regret it and I don't wanna know.
The choice of setting the IF in a rural city and in Lumintoile Academia specifically was based on old oneshots I wrote about Weylyn and Fleur 2-3 years ago. If you want to know what those oneshots are about, both of them are confessions scenes with Weylyn being the confessor.
Before Ophelia came to be as the 6th RO, she was originally supposed to be an antagonist, mostly due to a oneshot I wrote about her as a concept character 2 years ago. There were scenes planned where she would fight the cast and drama would ensue, but knowing what I know, I ended up scrapping the idea.
Weylyn's characterization didn't change much from his beta, surprisingly, and I think he's the only one who has retained his beta traits (besides some mild redesigning). I always intended him to be, well, him. The only things that did change are in spoiler territory, but very important to his characterization.
There were supposed to be 2 more side characters that you'll be introduced to in the early chapters with Fleur being a young CEO idea in mind, which were her two younger estranged cousins from her mother's side. I scrapped the idea for now, but they might make an appearance soon.
I had ideas to implement variables that show preferrences and proficiency in what magic MC uses, intending for them (MC) to be a jack-of-all trades instead of focusing solely on one magic. But then I thought about the long list of already existing variables I've written down, and went nope.
Eliseo & Fleur had the most rewrites and rehauls on their characterization. From what I can count and remember until recently, it's 10.
When I was making Emery, and basing him off of the Familiar Poll results, he was intented to be younger, 3 years old to be exact. I decided to age him up to 5 years old, because a) he would be too powerful, b) baby, c) "sir, that is a toddler and fresh out of infancy", and d) he would be too powerful.
The inspiration for the IF's whole vibes are from Kiersten White's 'The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein', V.C. Andrew's 'My Sweet Audrina', Laurie Anderson's 'Speak', Kyoukai no Kanata, Wonder Egg Priority, and the Dark Academia aesthetic itself.
This was originally supposed to be a self-contained story, more of a moment in the cast's life than something that will affect them in the long run or be actively going through with time, until I decided to add it into a growing timeline of events alongside other IF's.
#L's screams#Thank yall for being through this journey with me#it's honestly been fun so far#until next year again!!!💙💙💙

hi marie!! please give me an advice on how to watch dark please!!! i love the aesthetic but i tried watching it before but i completely gave up during S2 😭 i watched 1899 from the same creators and i loved it, what is wrong with me 😂
(I wrote this like 3 days ago while in was in bed and literally forgot it was in my drafts, so I apologize for the lag @bylrndgm! I’m so excited you WANT to watch Dark though, because it’s one of my favorites).
As for how to watch Dark…honestly?
First: think of it less like a linear narrative and more like a puzzle—the same way a lot of people do ST analysis (though…even as an ST fan I will say that Dark executes things a lot more seamlessly than ST because it’s not constantly switching genres). There is less levity in its construction and so it requires a lot of thought to keep up with as you go along, which brings me to—
Second: Even though some people will say it’s cheating, both me and my dad (who I made watch it after I finished it) found it easiest and most to enjoyable to watch when we kept the wiki of the show open. Because there are so many characters played by different actors / time switches / minute details that get lost in the intensity, having something you can reference to say “oh that’s x” or “oh, okay, that’s how we got here is invaluable for your first watch—and I can confirm this doing so does not ruin the rewatch-ability even a little, because even if you get “spoiled,” half the fun of the show is how you get to the points you do.
Third: this show works really well for binging if you’re invested, because it’s actually a lot easier to follow the action if you don’t keep leaving it alone and forgetting the little details (as we all do, the longer we stay away from something without revisiting it). I set aside like 3-4 hour blocks to do segments of the show and always watched the recaps because they were super helpful in keeping the story clear (along with the wiki). This show 100% expects you to keep the little details in your mind, and refuses to slow down to accommodate you—which feels impossible on a first watch, but gets a lot more enjoyable the more you watch it. At least to me.
Fourth: despite being a plain “watch it with subtitles not dubbed” girl in everything else….watch this in your native language, especially the first time. I watched it in German the first time (2 seasons before the S3 drop, waiting, and then watching all three that time with my dad) and tbh…it was easier to follow the second time 😂 comprehension is faster when people are saying complex stuff in a language you know—at least in my experience!
Tbh…as much as I love Dark, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, so don’t feel bad if you don’t end up enjoying it as much + feel like the barrier to access is too high, because Dark does demand more of its audience than 1899, though both are similar in terms of structure. Even so—I hope this helps! And I know a few other people around love Dark too, so feel free to pitch in if you all have other suggestions! 🥰
#also my love for Jonas and Martha knows no bounds SO. ugh I hope this helped even slightly landksjnddb#bylrdgm#asks#dark
