(Name) Butterfly is the Second Princess of Mewni and the Younger Sister of Queen Eclipsa.She has long red hair ,light Turquoise eyes and red round shaped marks on her cheeks.

Being the second Princess she didn't experience using her Family Relic,the Magic wand of the Butterflies that was pass down to generations to generations. Ofcourse she already knew from the beginning she wouldn't wield it. However her late Mother Queen Solaria the Monster Carver requested that she would given a replica of the family wand.

When her Mother was alive she would always want to protect her two daughters,so when she reigned Mewni she requested to the Embodiment of the Magic Book of there family to make a replica for her Protection.Just when her sister turned fourteen she received it.

She was thankfull for her mother's gift even though it was the last gift she ever received from her.

When she touched her wand it turned to a key like wand.She also found out that she can turn it to a necklace,she expect what would happen next...

She was mourning her mother's death and wanted someone to comfort her, suddenly her tears fell from her eyes to her wand and it lit up.

That surprised her very much and watched as the one ascend through the air and watch it transforms to a cat?!

This was the best thing that happened to her in weeks after her mother's death, a cat that was loyal to her and comforted her in hours mourning. It felt she felt and she decided to name her KeeKee.

Timeskip

You were currently having breakfast with your sister and her husband, yeah you never did like Shastacan or what's his name. You see him as rude and so full of himself,so you really don't how your sister survives him. If you were her you would rather feed yourself to monsters.

"So n/n how's your lesson with Glossaryck been going?"Your sister Eclipsa asked you, you stopped eating and looked at your sister "well, to be completely honest sister?poor Glossaryck is having a hard time"i giggled and Eclipse joined in"my,my sister don't give him a hard time"

You saluted and she laughed again, You and Your sister were always close but sometimes you feel like she hiding something from you.

As Breakfasts came to an end, you said goodbye to my sister and well except for Shastacan.

You removed your necklace and let transform into a cat " hewo Keekee"you said in a baby voice and she rubbed her head on your hand.

"should we visit another dimension?i think Glossaryck is going with sister today"You told her" and i may have stolen a portal scissor , don't tell anyone okay"

You went to your room to change into something comfortable, you put on a cloak and gotten everything you need ready.

Keekee transforms back into a key necklace as you put the hood of the cloak on. You cut the air to open a portal.

Earth

You visited here multiple times cause you a curious Princess.

Here it was so different from Mewni,its very interesting to say the least.

You explored more around and Keekee already transformed earlier as she guide you through the paths,she was given to you like she was your babysitter as some people joke.

You were to busy looking around you didn't noticed Keekee to be distracted to something.When you finally noticed you ran try to find your beloved pet.

"Keekee?where are you girl?" You shouted and looked around until you saw her in the hands of a blonde short man with a top hat he was sitting down by a tree.

It looked like Keekee was comforting him like she comforted you..

You walked closer to get a glimpse of the man he had the most beautiful face you ever seen and you were shocked to see he had similar marks on the cheeks like yours.

"hello?"you said which made the man jumped in surprise.

He looked at you and you remove your hood"hi?"he replied voice hoarse.

Was he crying?

Keekee saw you and rubbed herself on your leg"oh is this your cat?"you nodded.

"well I didn't know sorry..."

"it's alright,it seemed like you needed it..."you said"can i sit down with you?"he looked confused but nodded.

"hasn't anyone told you about stranger danger?"he asked and i laughed.

"well i like danger and it looks like you could use someone to talk to...my cat doesn't usually comfort any other people... she's like a detector for people who need a little help" you trailed off looking at Keekee.

"how can you be sure i need someone?"

"well,Keekee does and i trust my feline companion"

He laughed and it was like music to your ears.

"I'm (Name) by the way , what's yours?"

He froze and looked hesitant in telling you his name.

"it's umm.."

You looked at him with a confused face

"it's Lucifer..."he fully expect for you to run away.

But you didn't and smiled.

"nice to meet you Lucifer"

Lucifer yet again had to suffer his punishment. Only seeing the bad of his doings, he was summoned by a bunch of people devoted to him. They had sacrificed a lamb , baby lamb.

He can't endure this.. he only want people to have freedom and this is the consequences he got.

He teleported out out of that part of the forest and sat by a trying to maintain his breathing.

He sobbed for this retched cursed upon him.

Until he heard a meowing and saw a cat walking towards him at first he was scared to harm this little creature.

But It seems like it wasn't scared of him and for awhile it comforted him.

"KeeKee!"

He heard a luring voice but didn't moved an inch.

Until the girl greeted him,he was hesitant in interacting with this girl.

For some reason this girl is giving a source of good energy, not only that she was also gorgeous.

At the end he thought she would ran away from his name. But for some reason this girl seem confused at my hesitantion

How odd...

A/n: i know Keekee is the embodiment of the hotel but for the sake of this story and it's an alternative universe

Jin , Lee and Lars x Workaholic fem Reader | “Meet me in the afterglow”

Answer : It’s okay gurl!! . I’m actually working on all of your cute requests and I love how you keep sending me new ideas for this fandom 🤍. Since you just hit me with a new request, guess I will work on this one hehe .

Context : She works 12-hour days in heels, forgets to eat, and sometimes forgets she’s married to a man who worships the ground she walks on.

Side note : Tap the #yura’s tekkenreader for more tekken imagines ! This is SFW fic btw

Lee Chaolan

𐙚˙The meet cuteᡣ𐭩

You met at a high-profile gala. You were cornered by some exes , sipping bad champagne. Lee swooped in like a soap opera character.

“You look like someone who hates this.” You replied, You replied, “I hate weak liquor” He laughed. You didn’t. But you stayed.

You didn’t give your number. You gave your card. That didn’t stop him from sending flowers and a brunch invite the next day.

Lee made you laugh when you hadn’t laughed in months. Not because he was funny , because he paid attention to your interest . Dating him was like being swept into a tornado of velvet, sarcasm, and too many gifts.

He proposed dramatically in front of a fountain. You looked at the ring and said, “I’ll have to check my schedule.”

He married you anyway. Said it was the most “on brand” thing you could’ve said.

𐙚˙ Life with them . 🤍

Married life with Lee is dramatic vs. deadpan . He plans surprise weekend getaways, you pack work files. He gives you rose petals, you give him a 10-year investment plan.

Mornings with Lee are either chaos or indulgent. No in-between. He either oversleeps and steals your lipstick or makes you a five-star breakfast in bed.

He tries to get you to take coffee breaks with him like it’s a date. You almost never agree , but the one time you do, he brags about it for a week.

Evening routine? You’re at your desk, he’s draped across the couch dramatically sighing, “I’m a widower by spreadsheet ~”

Leaves sticky notes on your laptop to get your attention : “Eat something, gorgeous 🌹”

Makes you drink water. Stands there until you do. Puts his hand on his hip and everything.

Will absolutely guilt-trip you into self-care. “Do you want our children to grow up motherless because you forgot to sleep?”

Flirts like it’s a full-time job to get your attention , Slides into your home office wearing only a robe and a smirk.

Threatens to send embarrassing photos to your coworkers if you don’t take a break.

Also just whines affectionately. Lays in your lap until you finally sigh, close the laptop, and say, “What do you want?” “Your love and attention, obviously , honey ~”

𐙚˙Anniversary day ! . 🤍

Lee had plans. Big ones. He had a rooftop dinner catered, candles, live string quartet, your favorite wine flown in from Italy.

He even dressed up. And you? Logged into a Zoom meeting and told him, “I’ll be done in an hour.” Four hours later, he was drinking alone under fairy lights.

You didn’t mean to forget. But you did. The string quartet. The rooftop dinner. The champagne chilling in an ice bucket. All of it untouched.

You were in your office, answering emails. Lee waited four hours. In a white suit. Hair perfectly done. The candle wax melted all the way down.

When you finally stepped out tired, unaware , he smiled . That too-big, too-perfect smile he wears when he’s dying inside.

“Oh, you’re done. I thought maybe you’d died at your desk.” You blink, confused. “What?” Then you see the flowers. The food. The faint music.

You put it together. Too late.“I… forgot,” you say, hollow. Lee just shrugs. Still smiling. “Don’t worry, darling. It’s only the day we promised to love each other forever. Not like that matters, right?”

Your kids walks in just in time to hear that. Deadpan. “Mom. You cooked his soul.”

The kids were scandalized. Your daughter drew a picture of “Mommy breaking Daddy’s heart” and left it on your keyboard.

Your son said, “If you wanted a divorce, you could’ve just said it.”

Lee? Still smiling. Still in love. “It’s okay, darling. I’ve only waited 364 days for this. No big deal.”

The next day , You try to fix it . You change your lifestyle . That night , You light a candle. You sit at the table and pour him wine with shaky hands.

And you say something you never say “I messed up. I’m sorry. I love you, Lee.”

His expression falters , He laughs but it’s quieter now. Honest. “God, you really know how to break a man. Do you know how long I practiced saying ‘I love you’ in French for this year? …. Just to impress you”

He lets you pull him close. Lets you kiss his hand. You’ve never been good at big emotions. But that night, you sit on the floor with him, barefoot and apologizing in whispers.

Your daughter walks past the room and mutters, “I guess Mom does have feelings. Mark your calendars.”

Lee looks at you like he just won the lottery. “Well, well. My icy wife melts after all.”

LARS ALEXANDERSSON

𐙚˙The meet cuteᡣ𐭩

Met you during a classified summit. You were all business , precise words, power suit, clipboard. He was a guest speaker.

You didn’t speak to him at first. Just raised an eyebrow when he challenged a statistic in your presentation.

Later, he approached you in private “You were right. I looked into it.” You nodded. “I know.” He smiled. “I’d like to learn more.” You paused. “About economics?” “About you.”

You married him after months of slow-burning connection. He never rushed you. Just walked beside you until one day, you let him hold your hand.

𐙚˙ Life with them

Domestic life with Lars is peaceful and low-pressure. He does the chores you forget , Notices when you’re stressed before you realize it.

Lars is structured, but not rigid. He starts his day early, makes breakfast, and leaves your plate covered if you’re in a meeting.

He checks in during the day , not to hover, just a quick “how are you , my love?” text.

You usually work into the night. He brings tea around 9PM and sits nearby, reading or working on his own stuff. No pressure. Just presence.

Keeps track of your schedule better than you do. Lars always reeminds you of important dates gently but firmly.

Keeps fresh flowers in your office because he knows you like beauty even if you never say it out loud.

If you’re spiraling from stress, he grounds you with one hand on your back and says quietly: “You’re doing your best. It’s enough.”

How does he gets your attention? hmm he doesn’t demand it. But when he really needs your focus, he stands in the doorway, arms crossed, gaze steady.

You feel his presence before you even look up “Five minutes. That’s all I’m asking.”

When you give in, he uses those five minutes to hold your hand and ask how you are. Somehow that always makes you stay longer.

His love language is quiet patience and somehow, it works every time.

𐙚˙Anniversary day ! . 🤍

Lars is the type who doesn’t expect much , but he hopes. So when he baked your favorite cake, made dinner, and the kids helped decorate , he was quietly excited.

He even wore that one sweater you once said made him look “unfairly handsome.” You were in the next room. On a video call.

When the cake came out, you didn’t even look up. He said nothing. Just smiled, blew out the candle by himself, and told the kids, “Mom’s busy. We’ll do something next week.”

The kids weren’t okay . Your son wrote “Happy Anniversary” on a napkin and left it on your desk . Your daughter asked, “Does Mom still love us? Or just the stock market?”

When you finally noticed, Lars just said “It’s alright. I know you’re tired.” But he looked exhausted. Not physically , but emotionally.

That’s when you really saw it . The quiet disappointment , Lars still made sure the night was gentle, even if it hurt.

The next morning , You walked up behind him in the kitchen. Wrapped your arms around his waist. Pressed your forehead into his back. And for once, your voice cracked.“I forgot something important. I don’t want to forget you.”

He turned around slowly, like he wasn’t sure you were real.Held your face and said with zero bitterness , “I just miss you. Even when you’re here.” You cried for the first time in years. He held you like he’d been waiting.

The kids walked in, saw you two holding each other in the middle of the kitchen, and quietly walked back out like “Okay… maybe she does love him. Crisis averted.”

That night, you took your laptop and locked it in a drawer . For the first time in months, you fell asleep in his arms, not your inbox. He whispered, “This is all I ever wanted.”

JIN KAZAMA

You don’t do clubs. You’re a high-functioning, designer-clad menace who negotiates with billionaires before breakfast.

But your chaotic best friend begged. “Loosen up, wear something tight, live a little.” You compromised with a backless black dress and four-inch heels. As soon you reached the bar , You already regret your decision .

Jin’s only at the club because he lost a bet against Hwoarang and Hwoarang dragged him there.

Forty minutes in, your friend vanishes into the crowd with some guy named Bradley or Brandon or Whatever. Your phone’s dead. The bar’s packed. Every man who tries to hit on you smells like vape juice and regret.

Jin sees you flawless, pissed off, looking like you could ruin a man’s life with one eyebrow raised. You catch him looking.

You don’t have a choice so you march right over , with desperation you say “Hey. I know this is insane but… can you please pretend you know me?”

You don’t do this. Ever. But you’re surrounded by creeps and he’s the least annoying thing in the room . Jin blinks silently , Then nods once. “Sure.”

The drunk guy kept bothering you , Jin hit him with a simple word “Babe, you good?” he adds with zero inflection but just enough threat ,

You slide your arm through his. “Perfect” The drunk guy stalking you backs off. Jin doesn’t even look at him. He’s too busy side-eyeing you.

You offer him your number not because you’re desperate, but because something about him feel safe.

He doesn’t text for three days. Then “Next time someone loses you in a club, call me first.” You save his number under Kazama // Last Resort

Two years later, he’s still the one you call first. You married him after a long stretch of late nights and silent support. No ring pic, no public announcement. Just vows exchanged in private.

𐙚˙ Life with Jin

Married life with Jin is quite stable. He notices when you’re burning out before you do. If you forget to eat? He leaves a tray near your desk without a word.

He handles your emotional distance like it’s second nature. He doesn’t need you to cry or confess. He just wants you to rest.

Jin’s mornings start at 5AM . Meditation , tea, silence. Yours start with phone calls and three overlapping meetings.

He doesn’t interrupt. He just leaves a hot cup of tea and a protein bar on your desk before he heads out.

Dinner is often cold by the time you remember to come downstairs, but Jin keeps it warm anyway.

How does Jin take care of you? He often Notices your burnout signs before you do. Tense shoulders? He’ll wordlessly rub them.

When you’re working too late, he turns off the lights in the office so you have to stop. Refuses to argue about it. Just say, “You need rest.” and carries you to bed if necessary.

How Does He Gets Your Attention? Doesn’t compete with your work. Instead, he waits. Quietly.

But sometimes he’ll drop a soft, deadly line like: “You’ve been working for 12 hours. I’m starting to think you love your laptop more than me.”

One sharp look from him and suddenly you’re paying attention. Also he often wear : black v-neck, sweatpants, low voice to get your eyes stick to his body . Jin knows how to weaponize subtlety.

𐙚˙Anniversary day ! . 🤍

Jin didn’t even flinch when you forgot. He had a quiet dinner planned, candles lit, he’s the one who set the table and the kids just watching .

You didn’t show. Still working. He just sighed, boxed the food, and said, “Let her finish.”

But the kids? No. They were DONE. Your daughter literally walked into your home office with a plate of cold food and dropped it in front of you.“Happy anniversary, Mom. Dad only cooked for four hours.”

Your son just shook his head and whispered, “Tragic.”

You were too shocked to react. You didn’t even realize what day it was , you ran to him leaving your job and hit him with the “I’m so sorry Jin…” Jin kissed your cheek later and said, “You’re still my favorite person. Even if you forgot.”

The next morning, you noticed. The leftover cake. The wine still corked. Your kid watching you like you were a criminal. You tried to act normal. Kissed Jin’s cheek. “Morning.”

He nodded. “Morning.” That was it. You hated how still he was. Not cold. Not angry. Just quiet.

That night, you tried. Wore the dress he liked. Put your phone away. Said, “Let’s have dinner. Just us.”

He agreed. Sat with you. Ate politely. But there was a distance you couldn’t name. So you touched his hand halfway through the meal, stared into his eyes, and said, “I’m sorry. I should’ve remembered. I should’ve been there.”

He gave a small nod. Didn’t pull away from the grasp of your hand . “You’ve been busy.” He said , simply . For you It wasn’t enough. You felt it. For once, you were chasing him.

The next day, you tried harder. Made breakfast. Tried to joke like old times. Even offered to take a day off (which you never do).

Jin was kind and soft -spoken but he still don’t give you the ‘loving’ side of him . It drove you insane. You were used to him being quiet but not unreachable. Not like this.

That night, you cornered him in the kitchen.“Do you still love me?” you asked, trying not to sound scared.

He blinked. Finally looked at you , really looked.“Of course I do.” then the silent fill the kitchen once again ,

Then he gently touched your cheek. “It’s okay, my love… I… still love you.” And just as that emotional bomb dropped ,

Your son walked in with cereal, paused in the doorway, and muttered, “Wow. That was so dramatic. Are you guys okay now?” ( literally kazuya junior helpppp )

Jin smirked slightly. You burst out laughing and finally relaxed for the first time in days. That night, you curled into him in bed. No laptop. No meetings. Just his heartbeat.

He kissed your forehead and whispered ,“Just… don’t forget me, alright?” You didn’t say anything. You just held on tighter.

👉👈 could I have a fic where Mr. Wallace rich-man-never-dirtied-his-hands-with-manual-labor Larson gets stuck in an isolated place bc his car broke down and now he gotta fix it himself with the little theoretical knowledge he has? 👉👈

I'm so sorry I just wanna "see" Larson covered in grease racking his brains to make the engine work and getting 0.01% more humble in the process lmao

Smth smth seeing a fancy soft handed man doing manual labor by himself feels kinda nice

Why am I explaining myself? Everyone knows I'm mentally ill about him

Okay I'm sorry no more nagging you

(Also if you don't know anything about cars, dw, I don't know anything about them either)

You're in luck: I just so happen to have a spouse with a particular interest in vintage cars! He was more than happy to help, and I even got him, a non-Malevolent fan, to help beta read the fic to check my work! He now wants me to write more fiction about antique cars. I also showed him some reference materials of Larson so he could help pick the perfect car for him, and now he thinks he's hot, so that's a development in my household I'm holding you directly responsible for. Anyway, enjoy the fic!

A Long Way From Addison

Fandom: Malevolent

Characters: Wallace Larson

Archive warnings: None

Rating: Teen and up

Summary:

In hot pursuit of an escaped cultist from the Order of the Fallen Star, Wallace Larson experiences a mechanical failure in his car. The rich and powerful leader learns a lesson in humility (barely) as he tries to fix it on his own.

Word Count: 1,017

Trigger/Content Warnings: Cultist POV, car breaking down in the middle of the woods.

Author's note:

This was a fun one to write, and although I'm not completely in love with my prose, I appreciate the chance to explore a character I may not have otherwise chosen to write about! Always happy to exercise a creative muscle! Also note, this is pre-canon, as I did not want to have to fit this in the timeline or with the other characters.

I now have an AO3 account, so please feel free to check it out!. Otherwise, enjoy this piece below the cut, and be sure to check out John vs. Noel in the Malevolent Sexyman Poll run by @megamindsupremacy! And, please, if you liked this fic and want to request more, simply screenshot proof of your vote for John Doe and send it to me! (No guarantees I'll necessarily get it out while the poll is still active lol, but I appreciate the fandom engagement nonetheless!).

Beta read by @icarus-is-obssesed, thank you once again for your support, my liege!

Larson sped down the dirt road with an iron clutch on the steering wheel. He should have known better than to show leniency to a dirty dissenter. Now, he had to take matters into his own hands. He would shoot that bastard before he could spill the secrets of the Order he so ungraciously abandoned to anyone else.

A rumbling could be felt beneath his feet. Larson shifted gears to keep up the pace, but something in the stick shift caught. A loud pop! sounded off in front of him, and the car knocked and rattled.

Larson furrowed his brow and stepped on the gas, brute forcing his way through the issue. A puff of white smoke burst out from beneath and to the side of the hood, then began trickling steadily out. Larson smacked the dashboard and clenched his teeth, muttering, “No, no, no!”

The car lurched and stuttered in its tracks. Larson, determined as he was to finish the hunt, relented to the glaring problem before him, and jerked the wheel to pull off to the side of the road. He threw the shifter into park and swung open the door just to slam it closed.

Larson stepped around the car to before the hood, which was now hissing and steaming white. The shiny forest green and cream vehicle settled with a whine. A 1930 Buick Series 60 coupe soft top convertible, one of the best and latest models, he’d been promised by a car salesman. He went far out of his way from Addison to buy this machine, and paid good money for it, too. What on earth could be wrong with it?

Larson huffed and checked either side of that long dirt road. All there was to see was forest. There likely weren’t people for miles.

No matter. If Larson could run a cult for more than a century to the elder gods, then he could handle a mere mortal automobile.

His soft fingers found purchase under the lip of the hood, hot from the drive, and wrenched it open. Steam billowed into his face, shocking him into a choking cough. He staggered back, waving a hand before himself to clear it. From a short distance, he gripped the front of his own perfect tan blazer and waited for the smoke to clear.

Larson peered into the engine compartment. He found it a confounding tangle of rubber tubes and metal bits. No matter! He was sure something would make itself clear.

There was a component that looked like a box with vent slits, and a cap on top. Larson snapped his fingers absentmindedly, distantly recalling the part. The radiator, which must obviously be trapping the heat! What better solution to get back on the road than to release it now and be done with it?

Larson produced a handkerchief from his pocket, then gingerly reached forth to unscrew the radiator cap. It came off in a couple twists, only to release a woosh! of liquid like a geyser.

The coolant splattered back down on the car in a steaming mess, raining on the pitiful, clueless man as well. The front of his suit was now drenched, perfectly manicured hair ruined, and glasses running with droplets. As undignified and irksome as it was, Larson thanked the elder gods through clenched teeth, not for the first time, for supernaturally durable skin. Any other poor sod without such blessings would have been scalded immediately.

Larson growled and threw the cap to the ground without a second glance. To hell with that, then!

Folding his cloth back into his dampened pocket, he checked the sky. It was still light out, but the sun wouldn’t stay for much longer. Larson worried the inside of his cheek but stayed determined.

He approached the engine bay once again. A man of his caliber simply would not be held down by pithy mechanical problems. Not when his Order depended on him!

He tentatively reached his fingers in, pushing tubes and lifting wires out of his way. He moved to get any angle he could to see inside the tight space. If only he could find something with a hole in it, or that was obviously loose…

Shoulders aching from the awkward position, he stretched his back straight up to full height with a groan. He tapped his fingers against his hips while he thought. Maybe he just needed to get back in the car and start it up again?

He hummed to himself and turned to pick up the radiator cap from the roadside. As he bent down to reach it, he gasped. His hand, now outstretched, was covered in charcoal gray! Checking his hips, he found smudges of the same color on his expensive pants and blazer.

Larson groaned and moved carefully, barely pinching the edge of his jacket to open it and find his handkerchief again. When he pulled away, little gray fingerprints were left behind.

“Gods, why,” Larson hissed to himself as he attempted to wipe the grease away, really only smearing it on his hands more. Heat rose through his neck and face, and his vision blurred as tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. Could he not solve one simple problem for the sake of his followers? And why, pray tell, was fixing a car so frustrating and gross?

He fit the cap back on with more force than strictly necessary, then turned his back to the car and sighed. Here, he could see the shadows of the forest lengthening. It was going to be too difficult and too late for Larson to walk out of this predicament now. The heretic was likely long gone, anyway.

He shut the hood of the car with a satisfying clang!, then leaned against it while glaring at the sky. Larson willed the gods for divine intervention, but no one seemed inclined to answer.

The old fashioned way it was, then. This was a quiet road, but it was between towns. Someone must come around eventually. Out of patience, skills, or godly favor, Larson would simply have to wait.

I need more billford content from you! SO BADLY! I remember you mentioning that you’re working on some sequels. Can you give us like a sneak peek or do you have any writings you did of them? Or is there any fics that you read that you enjoy? It’s just you write them so well, it’s kinda hard to find other works similar to yours. Basically I’m STARVING

Hi lovely,

Your comment is so lovely I reread it a bunch before deciding to reply today with links and all the good stuff.

I have given the majority of the sequel sneak peaks I can afford to give yesterday, so we'll have to wait until KMKY is finished for more sequel goodness, I only caved yesterday bc it was my birthday and I love giving presents.

What I can do is link some old answers to various gravity falls writing prompts I've done before on my blog, and recommend some of my fanfics in other fandoms to tide you over.

I'm working as hard as I can to get the next chapter ready for you, so hopefully it will be ready after xmas or in early jan, and we literally have the roadside attraction chapter, Dipper and Mabel vs the Future and Weirdmageddon to go and then its the end of KMKY!

I'll be plotting and organising the timeline for ITBICD (It's The Best I Can Do or KMKY 2 electric boogaloo lmao) during this time too so hopefully I can launch straight into it after the final chapter of KMKY is posted!

So here are the links:

Shailesh and Jolene bounty hunter romance short

Fiddleford went home for thanksgiving, here's what Bill and Ford did

Down in the bunker Stanford sexperiments on Bill

Stanford psychoanalyses Bill with an old psychology textbook

For those who haven't read it yet, there was a uptilnow unpublished sex scene from KMKY that has recently gone up on AO3 here

Not from KMKY but an AU where Stanford becomes dependent on percepshrooms instead of Bill for his successes

A half baked Supernatural Billford AU bc I was a nerd haha

If you're keen to explore other fandom fics I've written, I have a murder mystery FMAB AU for folks who loved fullmetal alchemist that I'm pretty proud of.

For people who like the spooky side of Billford I have a half finished Magnus Archives AU fic too that sort of predicted the Jon in a computer part of The Magnus Protocol (I am cursed with the gift of prophecy)

For fanfic recommendations I haven't had the chance to read a lot of Billford fanfic since I tried not to read others fics while working on KMKY (there were a few notable exceptions, Theseus's Guide by @stump-not-found slaps (its fun, well paced and zany!) and I read Statement Abnegation (dark and gritty, not sure I was a fan of the ending since I like Ford to have more agency but for a dark fic it went places) since it was recommended to me. I also enjoyed A Postcard from New Mexico by roseverdict (an excellent concept and nice Stan brothers bonding) that I felt compelled to read)

If you don't mind other fandoms, I'll link my ao3 bookmarks of other stories I loved. There's a lot of batman, magnus archives, star trek, the locked tomb, miraculous ladybug, witcher, thor, rise of the guardians and homestuck (because we all had that phase, don't lie) and the list isn't very long, just some fics I like rereading there.

I hope this helps! I'm working hard on the next chapter so there will be more content for you soon, plus there's always a good reread as a backup option, and the wonders of maladaptive daydreaming haha!

If people want to add their own recommendations to this for fanfic recs please do in the reblogs!

#knowing me knowing you #kmky #billford #hopefully this helps #feel free to add your own recommendations to the list folks!#and now all the little offshoot extras are all in the same place #my writing

Viktor vs. the "fix-it" fic (new chapter)

We don't get to see the evidence of it, but I'd like to think that Viktor eventually feels very bad about his decision to prioritize his fancy clothing over catching Yuuri after the latter's Free Skate in episode 5. And, in my head, the figure skating fandom gives Viktor so much shit for it -- particularly Minami Kenjirou -- that Viktor, haunted by guilt, decides to "right his wrongs". Of course, he ends up taking the ever-dramatic Georgi's advice to write "fix-it" fanfiction for Yuuri about what he should have done in place of that blithe "oops, watch the nosebleed!" response.

But let's say Viktor -- 1 year post-canon -- reflects back on that day and starts to feel insecure, not just about the nosebleed debacle, but also regarding the several other things he did that betrayed his lack of coaching experience during that competition (cough cough...changing into his suit instead of sticking close to where Yuuri could see him so close to the warmup session). So maybe he goes a bit overboard when he writes that fix-it fic, taking many many artistic liberties with what went down that day.

Of course, he doesn't realize how upset this will make Yuuri, who has never demanded perfection of him, "Living Legend" or not.

This is the premise of my 10K WIP (that I just updated). As of now, the plan is for this very meta, hurt/comfort story to close out at 4 chapters.

On the surface, it may look like a lighthearted story -- especially because Viktor gets editing help on his fic from many of his and Yuuri's other friends (see the above bracketed parts in the summary) -- but I really wanted to delve into the topic of Viktor and insecurity. Particularly, with respect to the fact that he, understandably, really didn't know what he was doing when he and Yuuri made their debut at the season qualifier competition. This, of course, was compounded by the fact that some of the most important people in his life, like Yakov, were outright dismissive of his decision to be a coach in the first place.

If this sounds interesting, I hope you'll take a second to check out the excerpt below, from the newest chapter (Chapter 2). In it, a certain email mishap gives Yuuri the mistaken impression that Yuuko (one of the people Viktor turns to for editing help), not Viktor, is the one who's been writing RPF (real person fanfiction).

Excerpt (from Chapter 2):

When Yuuri switched back to actually read what had been written next to the fandom and relationship headings, he flushed violently.

Yuuko had written RPF fanfiction starring him and Viktor!!!

To Yuuri’s immense relief, the draft in question was rated ‘teen’, which enabled his buzzing brain to quiet somewhat; he likely would have died of mortification at the thought of his literal oldest friend conjuring up smutty fantasies starring him and his fiance.

He could vaguely remember Yuuko mentioning wanting to do some creative writing over the summer, but he’d assumed that it would be something in the sci-fi realm, which was her preferred reading genre. And yet according to some of the tags – which made him giggle, in spite of his confusion – this draft was a “fix-it” fic, taking place at the Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regional Championships just over a year ago. Kenjirou’s teasing from last month came to mind, and Yuuri began to suspect that this must be Yuuko’s way of joining in on the “Viktor gang-up”.

Additional Tags:

Fix-it fic, Pre-Relationship, Developing Relationship, Fluff, Anxious Katsuki Yuuri, Supportive Viktor Nikiforov, this is what should have happened at the Chugoku-Shikoku-Kyushu Regionals last year, fuck your designer suit Viktor, let’s not pretend he doesn’t own a thousand of them, Smitten Viktor Nikiforov, Grand Prix series qualifying competition, 2016-2017 skating season, Everybody Loves Katsuki Yuuri, BAMF Katsuki Yuuri, no noses were harmed in the making of this fic, and no chapstick for that matter either

Summary:

“You caught me!” Yuuri exclaimed, flushed from exertion, and looking so incredibly gorgeous.

Viktor’s heart tripped with affection at that beaming smile, and he planted his feet before reaching up to wipe, gently, at his student’s bloody nose.

“Of course I caught you,” he scoffed, though he made sure to allow his tone to slide into joking territory. “What kind of coach would I be if I hadn’t?”

Though he had a somewhat hazy look in his eyes (he had smacked into the rink barrier pretty hard, after all), Yuuri seemed perfectly content to carry on their conversation while nestled within his arms.

“Well, I’m all bloody,” he replied, looking a bit sheepish. “Plus your suit is so nice…it’d be a shame if it got stained.”

Viktor tightened his hold, hoping he’d be able to remember this euphoric moment in such vivid detail weeks, months, and a year from now. Yuuri had just debuted the program they’d choreographed together, the one they’d poured their hearts into!

Who cared about a little blood?

—

Instead of prioritizing his obscenely expensive designer suit, Viktor Nikiforov catches his student after Yuuri debuts “Yuuri on Ice” at the Chu-Shikoku-Kyushu Regionals.

(A 1-year “post mortem”/fix-it fic, in which poor Yuuri never ends up getting a migraine after his skate, because his doofus of a coach actually catches him)

Definitely intriguing.

Yuuri examined the page count and snuck a glance at the clock on the wall. This draft was rather long but it would only take ten minutes to pop over to Lilia’s adjoining studio, and besides, he was in desperate need of a distraction from what had come up in therapy.

You can read more here!

So fun fact: every time I have trouble sleeping I read kpop rpf, and given much shit in the last few months, I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping which means I’ve been reading a lot of kpop rpf 😂. So I thought it would be fun to do a fic rec list of some of my faves.

Pls keep in mind that I’m only a sporadic visitor of these fandoms so I can’t attest to anything like canonicity or characterization

Fandom: ATEEZ

kýrie, eléison by tuhreesha

“I mean. Doesn’t it get boring?” With all that diligent polishing, Yunho’s shirt’s started gaping a little at the chest. Its crisp, translucent cotton. Under it, Mingi catches the brown halo of a nipple, the sway of rosary beads against his sternum.

Venom rises in his throat. “What,” Mingi warns.

“You know,” Yunho smiles, and takes a swig of communion wine, straight from the jug. “Being in trouble, all alone.”

a youth mv au.

I love the way the writing in this fic does feel like an abstract music video, in the sense that there is this haziness to the narrative, where the scenes become increasingly dreamlike to the point where the reader isn’t entirely sure of what is real vs. what is metaphor

we found wonderland by taotu

Wooyoung needs to figure out if Choi San is truly unavoidable, or if, deep down, he's just not trying hard enough.

Had me giggling the whole time I read it

Fandom: SEVENTEEN

tides by miuyi

Wonwoo creates stories and Junhui creates storms. The rest is up for interpretation.

Seriously one of the most gorgeously written fics I’ve ever read

sunbreak by animediac/ @jaywalkers

Everything happens during summer. All the very best, and all the very worst.

(or, xu minghao's 10 part guide on how to survive falling in love with your best friend.)

A beautifully written fic that captures the coming of age vibe perfectly

Fandom: Stray Kids

beneath my glass house by sharpa

Two years ago, a mental breakdown derailed their lives. Now, Minho and Jisung are on a slow march away from the wreckage.

I love the structure of this fic a lot and I found it to be beautifully written

Fandom: Aespa

doll parts, big veins, dog bait by fractalkiss/ @fractalkiss

Maybe judgement is too harsh a word. Jimin has responsibilities, a tiny face and a natural capacity to fill people's eyes with stars when she smiles. The first time Jimin lost her virginity, she might have been seventeen.

Extremely good Jennifer’s Body au with lots of unspoken tension and very compelling relationships

Fandom: NMIXX

losing dogs by stbirth15

I want to help you, save you from some dark fate that awaits you at the end of this tunnel of self-love. Take me too. Take me with you. I'm so drunk.

OR,

lily and the woman of her dreams.

Stunningly good prose and just a heartbreaking fic in general

disclaimer: you can enjoy a character as much as you want. you can also interpret media differently than i do. i am a random person on tumblr, i’m not here to have a crazy argument with you based on your opinions vs mine! okay, now on to the main point!

i am a rebecca chambers lover through and through. re0 is in fact in my top 5 resident evil games, because i enjoyed it thoroughly even if some of it is a little goofy admittedly.

however, when seeing people talk about rebecca chambers in relation to albert wesker…. i feel like people play up rebecca’s relevance when it comes down to her relation to wesker. and i do say this kindly, however… wesker doesn’t seem to have much of an opinion on rebecca in the first place (i think he even just dismisses william’s question about her in re0 because she’s “just a rookie”). and when he does shoot her, he does so while barely acknowledging her (it’s past 3am here so it’s possible he didn’t even acknowledge her AT ALL, i’m just not going to check right now) and only focusing on chris redfield.

that isn’t to say that you guys can’t have headcanons, or anything like that, but i do think some of you guys treat her relevance to him— and even to most of the games— as being more than it actually was.

rebecca chambers isn’t really relevant to the series outside of the 3 or 4 main medias she appears in. she’s not considered one of the series “main characters” because i personally don’t think she’e ever meant to be one. she serves her purpose in the series, and that’s good, but it’s not to the effect that the actual main characters to the series serve.

that’s all to say, i don’t think acting like she mattered to wesker in canon is really accurate, and could be considered misleading. you could say it’s a theory, yeah, or even a self-indulgent fantasy. i can’t argue if it’s one of those, but some of you treat the idea that she “means a lot” to wesker as some sort of fact, and it’s very strange. (given, i might not be fully understanding what some of you are trying to post about).

which is why the discourse about if wesker likes rebecca at all does still confuse me, because even with the knowledge of the easter egg— he never shows any interest in her! not even once. is she on his stars team? yeah, on the bravo section of it. the team that he never at all shows any care towards in the slightest, and doesn’t even make a big show out of trying to kill because he’s basically like “ok yeah they’ll just die on their own, but i’ll kill enrico to get the ball moving”. if anything i’d argue that he had more interest in enrico, since he does kill him himself— but that is a stretch since we barely see any interactions between them (much like rebecca and wesker).

anyways guys… again, please reread my disclaimer if you’d like to discuss this topic! i know i did say in my last post that my next post would be a headcanons list (specifically lgbt+ headcanons) but the horrors got to me, + my partner and i are discussing this topic because i’ve never a fandom so adamant that these two characters must mean something to each other. like trust guys i like headcanons and AUs and such (i am, after all, a big fan of the insane dynamic i think albert wesker and ethan winters could have), but there’s some things i see in this fandom be mentioned that, to my knowledge, have never happened in the series, even outside of this rebecca and wesker topic— i do enjoy good fandom engagement, but it’s so important to pay mind to what is canon in the series and what’s NOT canon in the series.

sigh. okay, signing out. it’s almost 4am. god forbid a girl have hobbies!

#resident evil #albert wesker #rebecca chambers #resident evil 0 #resident evil 1 #resident evil 1 remake #hot takes again today with… tbh i dont even know what name i go by on here #i am just a girl (said with intent to yap forever)

This is gonna be a LONG ass post but

I got around to watching Arcane s1 (I watched s2 without finishing s1 because I didn't want to worry about getting spoiled for all the stuff that will inevitably flood the league tags so I just said fuck it, I did know a little bit about what happened during s1) and now that I did, I think I like s2...less?

Like I thought I was confused while watching s2 because I skipped s1 so I might not have known about what was happening (And I did on some, like I didn't know Silco and Vander were close at one point when I saw the flashback with them and Felicia, or that Singed used to be a mentor for Viktor) but..no. Looking at s1 then back at s2 it really does feel night and day. I think the problem is that s1 is great in how down-to earth and realistic the world, the characters and problems they have, but then in s2, suddenly everything became so much more..bigger. And not in a good way. suddenly everything became so much more bloated with too many characters, conflicts that started/showed up that they needed to end in the same season cause they had to make it 2 seasons even though it could've benefitted from another one or at least anotehr act. The animation is great, the music is great, but even that just feels like well.. spectacle for the sake of it. Especially when it comes to the music, because compared to s1 and s2, s2 is just too music heavy. And I was watching s1 with my sister (who is blind reacting to all of arcane from the start) and I feel like if we finish s1 and get to s2 she might not think of it as good as s1 for the same reasons.

MORE IMPORTANTLY THO I realize how oddly ooc Jayce became from s1 to s2, mostly for his relationship between him and Mel that got sidelined in s2 for viktor. And apparently that was intended by the writers because they liked jayvik more (I used to watch Star vs the forces of evil so this is giving me serious flashbacks to the writers hell that became) Yes Jayce and Mel started off as more or less fuck buddies but there were scenes that showed that they cared about each other that they just..kinda threw away in favor of Jayik. I don't hate jayvik and I liked the memes and all but I also dont like just sidelining a woman (A black, woman no less) in favor of a yaoi ship in the grand year of 2024. Like knowing their relationship in s1 it makes me realize how ooc Jayce and Mel were acting towards each other in s2. I don’t care if they ended up canon or not, but they just acted toxic and indifferent to each other for no reason when they did have scwnes in s1 that showed they cared about each other and now I think they just did this just so they could make Jayvik look better and because of how Mel was done dirty despite me loving her character I am now actively going to ship Meljay out of spite (Also fuck you they both look sexy) (and I also like Viktor by himself away from Jayce, preferably him in s1 because of how cute he was and I want to keep him for myself)

For any arcane only fans, I happen to be a selfship/yumeship blog who's favorite charater happens to be in a really popular yaoi ship (made partially implied by canon and making him all thats ever used for when theres so much else that they can do with his lore instead of just making him an accessory to please fandom, huh doesn't that sound familar?) and I know people would hate on me for also being a girl "getting in the way" if i was in any other part of league fandom (at least tumblr is pretty chill) so don't worry we're at two for two here

Again, I like s2, I think they've done a great job but knowing what happened in s1 and then seeing s2 it just made me feel like there was so much missed potential outside of the already confusing plots and pacing issues I experienced on my first watching

and ykw Im gonna repeat what I said in a previous post in that; fuck yall, I wanted the Mel being pregnant rumors to be true just to spite yall (and that the kid would be Rell)

#my husband is named aphelios I would love to introduce yall to him #league of legends #arcane #arcane critical #arcane criticism #meljay #mel x jayce #I hope this reaches the right audience #damn ive never been this serious in a post before im lowkey in my hater era for this #i support womens righta but also women’s wrongs #and as someone who has mutuals who selfship with viktor and are upset at how the ending turned out #i think women should ‘get in the way of popular yaoi ships’#just as a treat

What I've been reading May 2025

January • February • March • April • 2024

I read 'only' 2.4mil words in fic this month, lowest that's been in ages, even though I had a lot of free time! I think I read less because I actually wrote a lot these past weeks for a prompt event!

In addition to fic I also read seven Yoko Tsuno comics, and I continued reading the bird non-fiction by Jennifer Ackerman, I'm now on page 228 of The Bird Way and have read about bird sounds, their 'work', their use of tools (one page precisely describes what's happening in this video!) and how they can be playful :)

Coming to the fic recs of the month (over 80! wow, I've read a lot of good stuff this month!), I've actually mostly got femslash on there this month! Well, the ship I've got the most for is Stucky because basically all of the slash I read was for that ship with just a handful of 00q, Geraskier, and one Poirot, while for femslash it's pretty evenly split up into Bering and Wells and Berena, and I've also read some Avorah and Khany/Yoko. The links are to the fic recs on Ao3, do check them out :)

The Forgotten-2

Pairing: Lucifer X Butterfly!fem!reader

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel x Star vs the forces of evil

Warnings: this takes place before Season 1, Alternative Universe,

One| Two |Three |Navigation

A few months has passed since you met a man under a tree, now knowing his name as Lucifer Morningstar. You instantly became friends with him because of some shared interest.

You always sneak out of the Castle because of this.Loving spending time with your new friend.

Always meeting up under the Apple tree and tell stories about your day. Well sometimes there were day's he didn't show up and you never questioned it , after all he didn't say anything about his life and you didn't tell about yours. Only about neutral things.

Another days ,you just got back from the Earth Dimension and still no sign of your Beloved friend Lucifer.

You sighed

"Princess (Name) Butterfly!" You heard someone call out , you turned around to see Glossaryck and felt sweat drip down on your face.

"hey Glossaryck"you smiled awkwardly and did gunfingers to him. You didn't attend your lessons today and ran away to meet up with Lucifer unfortunately he wasn't there.

"running away are we Your Highness? learning magic is important as Princess of Mewni blah blah"he said but the end you felt your ears shut down to see your sister and you heard Glossaryck sigh

"Eclipsa!"you said running and waving hand to her as Glossaryck,She smiled when she spotted you.

"hello (Name)"You smile faltered, Your sister doesn't call you by your name,only your Nickname that was given to you by your Father.

"My Queen"Glossaryck bowed

"ahh Glossaryck can you give some privacy for a moment?"he looked at you with hesitation "Don't worry Glossaryck I won't run off somewhere " you explained and he sighed but nodded.

As Glossaryck left ,you and your sister were alone in the hallway.

"ok,tell me what got you down?"you saw a her having an inner battle in her head.

"what do you mean (Name)?"she asked faking her confusion.

"Eclipse, I'm your Little sister and one of your closest friends . infact your only friend so , i know when something upsets you" You told her and she bit her lip. You waited patiently for answer.

"well umm , it's just that..."she hesitated "as you know our family has the tradition to pass the wand down to an heir and-"

"YOUR PREGNANT?!?"You cut her off and saw her laughed.

"heaven's no! But the people were wondering when will there be introduce to another Princess in the Palace..."

"A new heir...?"you questioned

"wait with Shastacan?"you saw her face pale.

"SHASTACAN?!"

"well who else would be..."

"uhh, he's such a narcissist!" You ranted about how bad her Husband is and Eclipsa face grew paler than before.

You noticed this and stopped "Sorry Eclipse..."you felt bad for her she didn't even want to marry Shastacan but it was your mother's dying wish.

After that, you were about to go Glossaryck for your lessons but you passed a familiar room.

The Rooms of Queen Tapestry.. eh you didn't really know what this was room was called.

You walked in, seeing all of your ancestors and you uncle,your uncle became king when you mother died. Since you and Eclipsa are still very young,he took over for awhile. Next to his was...

Your Mother.. Solaria the Monster Carver.

You did miss you mother Truly, you didn't even felt Keekee transform and now she was comforting you.

"mother, hopefully you had a good reason for Eclipse to marry Shastacan,right?"you told her but no one answered.

You felt bad when you found out about this dying wish of your mother. You knew Eclipsa was inlove with someone else but didn't know who?

You wanted your sister to marry and have children with someone she loves, not someone who she was forced with. You walked around to see your sister's Tapestry about to be begin.

A Lot of people were confused of why it hasn't even begun yet when Eclipsa became Queen. You eyes widened as it as being made.

Does this mean Eclipsa's fate has been written?

Keekee followed you as you meet up with Glossaryck, you were learning some spells and read about a butterfly form.

"i thought we we're done with that mewberty butterfly form ?" You asked.

"that is , well how do i explain this to...ehh basically different from Mewberty and it's more powerful when you are in this form" Glossaryck explained.

More powerful?

Can only unlock in time of need?

You feel like this could help you defend your sister from monsters."I'll keep you safe Eclipse..."you muttered

"huh?"

"nothing!"

After another day you snuck out and went back to earth.

And finally you saw him

"Lucifer Morningstar! Where have you been?!"he heard you and flinched.

"hey n/n"he smiled awkwardly as you walked to him with arms crossed on your chest.

"okay before you kill me..."he said grabbing something from his bag and it was a...

Duck?

"i was making this for you,i made it to looked like you a little also putting some details like the marks on your cheeks-" you cut him off with a hug.

"thanks Luci"he was stunned and now very red.

"y-your w-welcome"he stutter and tried to hides his blushing face from you.

"are you blushing?"

"am not"

"yes you are~"

"stop~"

"hehe"

A/n: sorry if its short , and has little Lucifer content but don't worry in the future 🥹

all the actor/celebrity au posts lately combined with troye bringing ross on stage last night for one of your girls has got me thinking...

a musician x musician au where gale is a troye sivan–esque ultra–famous queer pop star, and john's the singer of a well known indie rock band, and he gets asked by gale's team to star in a music video similar to one of your girls...

to everyone who doesn't know him personally, gale feels like this untouchable pop star. he's been in the industry for years, one of those classic 'i used to make music in my bedroom in my small town' stories, working his ass off before finally a song of his blows up and gets traction and then it's such a fast rise to stardom that he doesn't have time to wrap his head around it.

he never gets used to it, but he doesn't get an ego from it; he still hangs out with the same group of friends he's had since high school, and his team does most of his social media posting for him, because it freaks him out having all that attention, as grateful as he is. he's not shy by any means, not like he was when he started out, but he's not the biggest fan of all the fanfare and interviews and being put on a pedestal and all that. he keeps himself pretty distant online, and that coupled with the diva/superstar energy in his music/projects gives him this air of being on another level– a rare type of star all around.

john has a similar story, the whole growing up on the internet thing, making music in his basement in high school with the friends he's now in a pretty popular indie rock band with, working tirelessly to make a name for him and his friends. but that's kinda where their similarities end.

because john is known for being an absolute shit–poster, a little fiend online, a running joke in his fandom that 'john doesn't know that he's famous', 'should someone remind him this isn't a finsta?' type of vibe. he feels so accessible and down to earth, and while he's just as level headed and humble about his celebrity status as gale is, he displays it by being more present and trying to show the human side of it all, vs gale trying to create distance between gale cleven and the gale persona the world knows.

the band is first and foremost john's thing, but as he's grown in popularity, he's of course gotten offers for other avenues here and there, and at the insistence of his manager he decides to agree to try out a modelling shoot one day. he's not naive; he's more than aware of all the comments going on about his looks, stumbles across more tiktok thirst trap edits of him sweaty and shirtless on stage than he can count, isn't all too sfw in some of his band's songs, either.

he finds it all funny, but he also is someone who will always jump on new opportunities/experiences, and he ends up having a good time modelling, and picks up more gigs as time goes on. this is how gale becomes aware of him, somewhat because gale does occasional modelling too, but mostly because he's worked with a lot of big fashion names for tours and videos, so his and john's circles occasionally crossover, though they never actually meet in person.

so then comes this music video shoot, one that gale's been agonizing over for months, planning every little detail and making sure everything is perfect. it's something that drives his manager (marge? <3 gotta include the angel in every au obvs) insane because gale's got so much on his plate as is, but he likes to be so hands on with his projects, and she knows by now there's no talking him out of that. and everything is going great, until the person who's meant to be starring opposite gale has to pull out last minute due to a scheduling conflict or personal emergency or something.

and the usually very collected and put together gale is freaking out. it's the day before the shoot, everyone involved has already travelled to be on location, choreography is set in stone– this is his nightmare scenario, never doing well in situations where he has a lack of control. it's half of what scares him so much about being as famous as he is, is that he doesn't have a lot of autonomy or control over his own image or how he's perceived in the public eye (and digging deeper into backstory, probably stems from wanting to take back control after a childhood filled with being controlled by family.)

but it's situations like these where he's reminded why marge is his manager and he isn't, because she leaps into action the moment they find out about the cancellation, calming gale down so they can put their heads together to find a replacement. they reach out to a few of the names they have connections to, but it's too short notice for all of them, so maybe marge even just resorts to going through the people gale follows on instagram, and stumbles across john's page. he's got a good rep in industry and has worked on less 'conventional' projects before, so marge shuts down gale's fretting over "would he be comfortable with something like this?" by telling him there's only one way to find out, and contacting john's manager.

john agrees before he even hears the full pitch, and he's just as keen afterwards (albeit a bit nervous because by no means is he a professional dancer), knowing it'll be good publicity, and curious to explore a more artsy/out there gig, but also curious about the illusive gale, who he'd been surprised to receive a follow from a few weeks back.

john is flown out that night to the city of the shoot location, barely having a few minutes to change and head to the rehearsal space, where he meets a very frazzled but very thankful gale for the first time.

maybe they both have some preconceived notions about each other, despite having mutual respect and no actual interactions; john probably expects gale to be a bit stand��offish or conceited given his high celebrity status, but finds gale's actually bashful and quiet and easygoing when the cameras are off (when they're on, it's like he flips a switch, slipping into this persona, exuding confidence and sexuality and it honestly blows john's mind to witness in person).

gale probably expects to john to be loud and abrasive based off his well known social media posts, maybe even a little uncomfortable around gale, who is openly queer, whereas john isn't– maybe john hasn't ever stated his sexuality, has never given much thought to it, it doesn't matter much to him. instead he finds john's actually a little shy, much less bravado than he'd anticipated, but very enthusiastic and eager to learn and get the choreo and everything else right, assuring gale repeatedly that he's down to do whatever is needed.

so the two of them rehearse till the early hours of the morning, john taking it as seriously as though it's his own project he's invested months into, and gale gains such admiration for his commitment and willingness to stick his neck out for a borderline stranger (even though he's obviously aware this is a big boost for john's career). john gains a newfound appreciation for gale's work ethic and how much effort goes into every little thing for a huge artist like him.

and inevitably... there is sexual tension during the rehearsals. they're both overtired and sweaty and it's such a strange situation to meet for like five minutes and then jump right into dancing together so intimately, having to shed any inhibitions and self consciousness, but it's a blessing in the sense that they have to get comfortable around each other so quickly. there's no room for modesty or shyness, and john is genuinely speechless at how gale puts business first, and after double checking that john isn't uncomfortable, how he has no qualms about physically directing john, moving him how he wants him.

it's hot to john, the way gale knows exactly what he wants and is so passionate about his vision, and he'd be lying if he said the combination of being starstruck and being lowkey manhandled isn't getting to his head a bit. which is a whole other thing to unpack, because aside from vague acknowledgement of some men being attractive/beautiful, he's never actually found himself flustered by one like this, and it catches him off guard. he stays professional, but he still can't help but let his naturally flirtatious/joking personality slip out as the night drags on; he's like that with everyone he works with or hangs out with, and he thinks it would be weirder if he wasn't like that with gale, like everyone else would somehow notice.

meanwhile gale is fighting his own demons because he's got a very sought–after, very hot, very straight man dropping everything for him and letting him puppeteer him, on top of being so stubborn that even though gale can tell he's exhausted, john's refusing to call it a night until gale does, and THEN as if all that's not enough, john's effortlessly witty and complimentary and flirty. and gale's not one to mix business and pleasure, so he's not even entertaining these emotions, but he can't help but feel flattered by it all, while also reminding himself that john probably doesn't swing that way.

basically they both are discovering they have competence kinks lmao, like objectively they both find the other attractive, but it's not like they aren't constantly surrounded by beautiful humans in their lines of work, so it's more so the emotional side/work ethic that gets them both flustered, coupled with the inherent sexuality of dancing with very little clothing, hands on sweaty skin and toned muscles. but neither of them act on it, too tired by the time they call it a night even if they'd wanted to, and then it's back to their respective hotels to get a few hours of sleep before the shoot.

john isn't called to be on location until mid afternoon, and when he wakes up to his phone ringing and glances at the time, he freaks out, thinking he's slept through the shoot or something because he'd expected to be called early in the morning. he's told that he didn't sleep through it, but he's disoriented until he shows up, when he's told that gale had moved things around, filming as many scenes as he could without him before john was needed for his part, so that john could get more rest. (john swoons. just a little.)

he gets swept up in the capable hands of hair and makeup and wardrobe in his own trailer, and he doesn't see gale until it's time to film, and when he does, he almost doesn't believe it's gale. the glam makeup, the long blonde wig, the form–fitting sheer black dress and heels– gale's pretty as is, but with his features accentuated like that, john doesn't even know what to do with himself, feels like he's going through a midlife crisis at the ripe age of 25. he'd known gale would be in some sort of getup for their choreo, but nothing could've prepared him for this.

it makes it even more endearing that gale seems so awkward about it when he greets john, clearly out of his comfort zone in the ensemble, but john knows there's no way gale doesn't know how stunning he is, it's not a lack of confidence that's making him awkward. john keeps it together, reminds himself to be professional. tells gale it was really sweet that he let him sleep in, that he didn't have to do that, to which gale waves him off like it's no big deal. and he compliments gale too as they walk onto set, tells him, "you look great, wow," tame as he can be, and gale tells him "could say the same for you," and john snorts, gesturing to his simple jeans and boots and lack of shirt, says "feeling a bit underdressed, actually," and it gets a laugh out of gale.

when the cameras are rolling, any of that visible discomfort or awkwardness in gale disappears like someone's snapped their fingers and rid him of it, movements fluid like water, not an ounce of anything other than confidence and power and sensuality seeping through as he commands the camera with his energy. despite his aching body, john's grateful they ran the routine into the ground last night to the point that it's nearly muscle memory, because it's hard to concentrate when gale's looking down at him through long faux–lashes and gloss–plumped lips, caressing his jaw, playing with his hair, the sway of his hips and roll of his waist beneath john's hands so mesmerizing, john's half convinced he's being serenaded by a siren.

the tension would be insane, but equally confusing because neither of them would be able to discern what's an act and what's not, or if it's all just an act, pushing and pulling at an invisible line but never quite stepping over it even once the shoot wraps, both for the sake of professionalism but also for fear of rejection.

maybe after it all, john's on his flight back home and realizes in the whirlwind of everything, he never got gale's number (has a moment of 'why would i need it? this was just a gig' lol okay yearner). john's not even sure at that point what/how he's feeling about gale, the conflicting emotions of feeling attraction to him while in borderline drag doing nothing to help the confusion, especially because he can't excuse the attraction as just that when he was feeling things during rehearsal in casual clothes too.

he knows he could easily ask his manager to reach out to gale's manager for his number, but then he gets in his head convincing himself that if gale had wanted to talk further, surely he would've asked for john's number, since gale has way more reason to be selective with his own with his status.

he doesn't realize that on the other end of things, gale's realizing he also never got john's number, only he's talking himself out of reaching out because he doesn't want to read into john's friendliness as something flirtatious when as far as he knows, john is straight, and this was likely just a job for john, as well as they seemed to get along.

cue miscommunication when one of them actually works up the courage to dm the other on instagram since they're mutuals– either john dms gale something simple, a 'thanks again for the opportunity', and because gale is never on his socials and gale's team doesn't check messages much, it's weeks before anyone clocks john's message, during which john becomes sure he's nothing more than a coworker to gale, which he understands but is sad about. or, gale dms john, but from a private account with an innocuous username that he has just for friends and family, and john never even opens it because the lack of profile picture and generic user blends in with all the other message requests he gets a day.

they only end up reconnecting when the music video actually drops, because obviously it breaks the internet, and john happens to be doing promo interviews and radio shows at the time for his band's new album and tour, so an interviewer of course asks him what the experience was like working on a set like that and working with gale. john gives a glowing review, goes out of his way to praise gale– "the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and the craziest work ethic i've ever witnessed firsthand in hollywood."

when the interviewer asks if john would ever consider working with him again, y'know, the classic question an interviewer has to ask so they can drum up clicks with a 'john egan hints at possible future project with gale cleven!' title, john lays it on thick the way he always does with a wink at the camera and a "he can call me up anytime," but then adds a serious "no, really, i would love to work with him again, he was great."

predictably, the people who are already losing their shit over the music video and making edits and fan theories about the two of them go even crazier, spam–tagging gale and his team in the comments of this interview post, which leads to it eventually making its way to gale, and gale then realizes that john hasn't been uninterested; he must've just not seen his message since surely he would've replied if he had (marge looks at him with so much disappointment when gale mentions his attempt to reach out– "gale, no one with that kind of following is going through dm requests from faceless, private instagram pages, you of all people should know this").

gale hasn't told marge about his possible feelings, but marge isn't dumb; she didn't stand on set for nearly 24 hours with her eagle–eyes and not notice the way gale had been looking at john. to anyone else, it might've just seemed like he was leaning into his persona, but marge has known gale for a long time, and she could tell it wasn't all him playing it up for the cameras.

so marge puts her manager–brain and best friend–brain together and decides that with all the hype surrounding the new song and video, the two of them being seen together in public and making a few posts together would be a great boost for both of them. but she knows gale will never go for it if she voices this to him, because he'd see it as using john for popularity; she reasons that if he doesn't know, it can't be using. so she reaches out to john's manager and figures out when they'll both be back in the same city, and relays her plan as if it's just business, asking for john's manager to let john know that gale will be in town the next week if he wants to set something up, and she gives the manager gale's number for john to contact.

when gale wakes up one morning to a 'hi, this is john! my manager passed on your number to me, hope that's okay. i was told you're in town next week? :)' and then 'egan. btw. lots of johns out there.' and then 'the music video guy.' (john, absolutely panicking on his end, worrying that gale might not even remember his name, not knowing gale's been stalking his socials and confusion–pining just as much as john has been doing the same.)

and then more miscommunication after they arrange to hang out, because john assumes this is just for publicity based on what his manager told him, and he understands, as much as he wishes they're hanging out properly. but gale assumes this is a genuine hangout, because john never says otherwise, until the end of the evening, when gale has to leave for a dinner event and john says "we better take those pics for the 'gram before we say goodbye, or the big guns'll have a fit."

and either gale masks his surprise and then disappointment and goes along with it, thinking maybe he missed a memo or misread things, and this conflict and miscommunication is dragged out even longer, or gale doesn't hide his confusion in time, and john is then equally confused, says "your manager didn't...?" and gale says "sorry, i didn't know; i guess i misread your texts," feeling stupid that he's been thinking the hangout is anything other than a pr stunt. and then there's the awkward "no! no– well, yeah, i was told that this was to promote the video, so i thought– i mean, i would've liked to hang anyway, i just didn't think you wanted to?" from john.

gale is slowly connecting the dots in his head and he's so embarrassed, but also relieved that he hasn't misread things and made a fool of himself. john looks on the verge jumping out of his skin as gale sits quietly, so gale puts him out of his misery, smiles and pushes his irritation about the incident down and says "i do want to, john. i think marge– it doesn't matter. it was a miscommunication, i guess." and all the tension evaporates out of john's body, and he lets out a laugh, and a "oh, thank god. fuck. i was about to walk into the street," and gale lets himself relax too, scoffing at john.

so they decide to have a redo the next week, since they both do feel obligated to take their stupid pictures now to please their teams (and the internet), and thus a tentative friendship is born, the two of them dancing around each other and around feelings because everything is confusing as is, let alone with the way their careers affect every aspect of their lives. so much slowburn, lots of john trying to figure his attraction out and gale keeping his walls up because the thought of literally becoming the person he's singing about in his music video is laughable, he doesn't wanna be strung around or used as an experiment for john.

and john respects this unspoken boundary and also appreciates that they can get to know each other as friends while he tries to stop freaking out every time he pictures him and gale doing less than platonic things. probably a whole lot of chaos on john's end with the absolute tornado that he is, ie: '4am 'am i gay' quizzes taken in the dark of his bunk on a tour bus, asking an openly queer friend from his band if his feelings toward gale are normal, rumours started by a fan that they saw john in a gay club after a show, etc.

because john doesn't do anything halfway– he's ready to literally go out and kiss men and explore his newfound feelings, not just to prove himself to gale, but to figure himself out, because he's terrified of hurting gale since john doesn't have the best track record with relationships. overthinks the shit out of everything and doesn't realize it's not that deep, that liking gale doesn't mean he's suddenly attracted to all men, that all gale wants is for john to be confident in himself and his feelings for him before pursuing anything.

there's a lot of back and forth and messiness and emotions stacked on top of their already crazy hectic schedules and lives, the theorizing and prying from fans and paparazzi, caution from management, but when they eventually have their point of no return moment and cross that line from friends to more, the chemistry is so intense that both of them feel stupid for dragging things out for so long.

when the initial new relationship shyness wears off, the sex is also insane, all the exploration and playfulness (and inevitability of the whole feminization thing coming back into play since that's what starts everything in the first place lol). they're barely able to keep their hands off each other, almost always spending the night at each other's places, stealing as much time as they can to make up for the time apart when there are tours or other events separating them.

they try to keep things private for a while, but with how active john is online, he slips up a good few times– tiktoks where a hat or something of gale's is accidentally left in the background, story posts where john's wearing one of gale's hoodies unthinkingly, mirror selfies where there's a mystery hand or leg in the background. the internet is torn, some convinced it's coincidence, some certain it's all a pr stunt to get people talking, some adamant that they're in a secret relationship. gale's never upset about it; they both just know how much things will change if they go public.

months are spent sneaking around, rarely going on public dates, the odd paparazzi shots still leaking out until it finally gets to the point that there's no point hiding things anymore, it's obvious that they're not just friends. they never actually announce it or make some relationship launch post; they just stop caring, and it's freeing and neither of them expect to be so affected by being able to publicly show affection for each other, but it's such a sweet thing and makes things feel so much more real.

john goes to gale's sold out arena shows and stares up at him in awe and can't believe that gale chooses him every day, and gale goes to john's band's high energy festival sets and watches his golden boy light up with joy every time he glances at him side stage and can't believe john chooses him too.

:-)

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for supporting Scarecrow x OC/self-insert. I'm tired of people who hate on creators who try to have fun or tell they own stories. As much as I like comics characters I'm sucker for OC's and what they bring to the table, because each is unique and brings different dynamic to the table! I Recently found two blogs with Oc I observe with interest. One being @mask-knife-is-scarecrows-girl, I find they Oc Meg Crane cute and I have great fun reading they posts. There is also @amor-god-of-love, of which I saw the picture of "I'll cut your throat..." from Princess Mononoke involving Jonathan and they OC and I fallen in love with it. Seems they Oc is love based and I'm sucker for good love Vs fear dynamic. Anyway sorry for rambling, but could you give your opinion on why people hate OC x Scarecrow so much? We should encourage such creativity not put creators down because of it.

Love your blog <3

-Anon

Hi! I love this ask! OCs are frequently disliked or at the vesy least, ignored in the fandom. The best advice I could give anyone with a self insert or OC is to never stop creating. Your audience will come. I did not start out with nearly 7k followers, it took me nine years to get to these numbers.

Fandom loves regular posts. Case and point, I watch game grumps every day and have made it part of my daily routine to watch new episodes at lunch time. Becoming part of a persons routine is a VERY high complement and I'm sure there's people who are checking my blog in the same manor. (I mean, I know there are, I see the notifs)

It's not that people HATE Scarecrow/selfship/OCs it's that people don't want to jump into something that they can't relate to, for whatever reason. If could be their sexuality, gender, etc..or simply that they don't know this OC and the creator has not pushed them enough.

I had an OC in the past, and I always got questions about her. One, because I made a lot of posts about her, and two because I had followers who luckily enough, wanted to know more. Give them some breadcrumbs! I don't really talk about this character anymore, but maybe one day I will bring her back.

Also! Mask Knife is great btw! I adore reading her posts!!

I absolutely agree we should support creators but OCs are like original art, you gotta post frequently, until your audience finds you. And they WILL find you, but you can't give up. If I stopped posting in 2016, I imagine the fandom-scape for Scarecrow would be different.

OCs and Self inserts are nothing to be ashamed of, we've been self inserting since the beginning of fandom way back into the star trek days. Also, I don't know ANY OC who isn't at least A LITTLE bit of a self insert. OH! And if that one weird artist can self insert himself into the freaking PPG reboot, then y'all shouldn't feel shame making fanfic and fanart

#Moffy Speaks #OCs deserve love too #so do self inserts

Relationships 101: What we can learn from JK's live.

I have thoughts about JK's live from 22 July. They have to come out of my head so here they are ...

JK had a few drinks wth his old pal, ARMY.

Even though it was a casual chat he clearly had things on his mind. And when the topic of the explicit lyrics came up, he didn't shy away from it.

He told us that he loves and values us, and at the same time, he made it clear that he's going to do what he wants and that he won't accept being controlled or held to other people's standards. Essentially he told us to pull our heads out of our asses, but with total diplomacy.

He also told us how much the we mean to him, and that genuinely wants us in his life, now and in the future. He said we are his primary support, even more than his parents. That's no joke.

But he didn't tiptoe around the problematic parts of the relationship - how the fandom sees him vs how he seems himself, his need for freedom to grow, and being able to express and trust himself without fear of judgement.

(There was an element of 'please love me' in all of this that pulled at my heartstrings 🥺)

What did I take away from this?

Of course, the content was important and I'll definitely come back to it, but...

For myself, I learned a few important things about JK:

He's sincere.

He's mature.

He's committed to his relationships.

He's not afraid of difficult conversations, or talking about his feelings, or being vulnerable with people he trusts.

He's prepared to do the work to make things right.

He addresses concerns head on.

He acknowledges and accepts people's differences.

He doesn't let a disagreement weigh him down or become 'baggage'.

He maintains a sense of humour.

Wow. Really. I'm 🥰🤩🥹💞 (can't words LOL but I AM IMPRESSED)

So how does this relate to him and Jimin?

I feel like I saw a little of what he's like as partner.

I always wondered how the heck he and Jimin maintained a healthy and loving relationship in the environment they're in.

THIS IS HOW. FIVE STAR COMMUNICATION.

Sure, they MUST argue - they get tired, they get grumpy, they get petty, they get offended - they are human. There are huge social and professional issues weighing down on them too, so they problably have major disagreements just like regular people. But JK's live was a beautiful example of healthy communication.

It kinda made me happy (satisfied/relieved?) to see that he has both the skills and the intrinsic ability to respond to criticism (yes, that explicit lyrics question IS criticism) without being reactive. And he can separate the difficult conversation from the relationship as a whole.

In a way, this is directly relatable to the story he told with the SEVEN MV... hmmm... interesting...

*The subtitles arent available yet. This interpretation is based on army twt translations.

*These opinions are my own 💜💛

An 'A-ha!' fandom moment, ft. The Owl House

These comments I screencapped from a user I watch elsewhere really hit like a brick in the face to me. I'm blotting out OP's name, mostly cuz this was just a shower thought they had rather than any meaningful open discussion with people, but it ended up making me realize something (also NO they're not some contrarian AntiSJW type or even hate TOH; they're a very gay+trans writer themselves. Sorry if youknowwhoyouare sees this and recognizes ur posts but you don't allow reblogs or comments and I wanted to present it on my own):

The Owl House was always hampered by being killed halfway through, writing wise and that will always be it's greatest 'sin'. However, OP's comment made me realize how much the show kind of tells you it's characters are flawed rather than actually give them arcs to suggest it, especially in season 1. When I say flawed I don't mean lacking quirks that are relatable but human: Eda is a recluse criminal; King thought he could kill people and acted like it; Luz is a genki girl; Amity starts off as a bully; Hunter...is unfortunately Hunter, ect. Those ARE flaws, character wise, but in the presence of the complete story (as complete as the show will ever be) they really aren't actually flawed, bad people in anyway.

Before I go further, two things: 1, IN ALL FAIRNESS, this is why myself and others particularly LOVE the characters and why TOH was a comfort show for me rather than a 'high-tension narrative'. The characters are a lot of what you want and hope to be like and I think that's really sweet and enjoyable, especially for horror and especially for kids.

2, NO! I DON'T think any particular bad faith cartoon reviewer opinions about coddling certain characters and punishing others IS WHAT DANA and co did at all here! Steven Universe and certain crap-reviewer's takes ON Steven Universe and how it's characters were flawed but overly forgiven by the fandom the show itself are NOT the b-all end-all of this discussion, nor are they the reason The Owl House is the way it is!

The context op was talking about was how in the upcoming hate crime The Last Airbender live-action show the showrunners are going to tone down Sokka's sexism because they think it's 'unlikable'. Even though, we all knew as children that this was an arc for him and it was WRONG, so axing it because we the audience lack nuance to recognize characters we love doing problamtic-sisms is BEYOND annoying.

Op's point is how The Owl House in particular doesn't actually expect much or want much out of it's characters. Or audience. For any infighting early on about how much Amity should 'die' because of reasons, that's really just fandom infighting when you get right down to it. There's nothing on par with the disagreement people have over, say, the Diamonds from Steven Universe and how Steven 'totally forgave them or 'should have murdered them in cold blood' about The Owl House. And like...from a fandom point of view that's good, but otherwise the show is pretty concrete the way you're supposed to see certain characters vs other shows which allow you to make up your own mind.

Avatar, Star vs the Forces of Evil (pre finale), Centaurworld and Amphibia all showcase your protagonists being genuinely, intensely flawed. Sure, maybe some neckbreather crap-pseudocritic complains that they 'made the unlikable' or whatever (i.e. me with Friendship is Magic) but overall the actual point is HOW the characters actually have grown and have ended up with the ending and morality they need. The villains, no not Zukos or 'redeemed' villains who joined the protagonist squad, VILLAIN-villains, will always be at least one serious step behind the protagonists and that's what give the protagonists the cautionary wherewithal to end them like they should and not 'be like them'. It's such a fufilling narrative, there's a reason people like it so much because it's really good when it's delivered well.

Removed from my fandom gaze; the Owl House feels like it's saying it has that ultimate messaging and character arc when it actually doesn't. Your protagonists have the endearing aspirational-part totally covered, but as far as the actual 'edge' and nuance? Well...

Eda is, at most, naughty. She really isn't any kind of morally sidetracked character. She's an outlaw because literally her society is awful to her and she's in the right to be against it. She's cursed but she's not addicted to her potions or hiding it or not really taking care of herself or her loved ones because of it. Her actual biggest flaw is that she's been 'running away' from problems rather than dealing with them, but I'd be lying if that wasn't suggested more than it's actually portrayed; or at least, dealt with fast enough in "Eda's Requiem". A bigger issue I see, even if it's what's also endearing about her, is that she REALLY isn't a flawed caregiver at all. It's portrayed as her most redeeming feature that she's otherwise a good mom and mentor, but Eda having virtually no problems in raising Luz and King just, again, makes her feel ONLY aspirational. All of the angst about 'failing' to parent and making up for it is moved all onto Camilla and sadly all of that angst for her is mostly within an already bloated episode. Eda, while an absolute mood, lacks any real kind of edge. Does she need it or not? I don't know. Discuss, kids.

Luz, like OP says, is treated like this high-energy super-optimist. She's like Star Butterfly in that her fangirlism and impulsivness are supposed to get her in trouble. But, she absolutely just isn't one when you break it down. Besides episode 2, Luz really is never that inconsiderate or lost in her fantasies ever again throughout the show. She never has anything like what Steven goes through where he hops into Larz' body and makes things worse for people by trying to fix things- which is not only good filler but it calls forward to the ultimate ending of Steven's arc for the series - Luz is just sort of adorable. Luz has blindsided by hype moments of weakness, like when she accidentally hurts Owlbert or messes with Amity's secret room, but still always level headed and down-to-earth. Her impulses are always kind of treated like...excusable? Because, again, they usually are. This is a large part about what makes her self-hatred at the end of the show about accidentally helping Belos' feel 'forced'. Even MOREso than what Hunter and Daddy Titan explain about Belos using her, we the audience never see Luz's choice to go back in time and try and get answers from Philip as being anything other than just, you know, logical. Because it is. The show acts like what Luz did was reckless and bad and that she was SOOO overtaken by her fangirlism about Philip and now just how much she has to live with the guilt and regret of helping being duped by him...it just doesn't come off that way at all. She was only so much excited about meeting him and her interest was getting home to her mother. In terms of comparing her to Philip, that's all fine and good, but again it's not 'flawed'. Not really, anyway.

Lilith absolutely has it the worst...but I kinda think people know that. She arguably does have the most morally-gray turning point in the show given what she did to her own sister. But neither the characters nor her nor the show really hold her accountable in any lasting way for cursing Eda. Lilith is the closest we get to that 'Diamond'-dilemma. She does 'make things right way too quickly and it's obvious to even her biggest fans that her character is really rushed in this area. They lampshade what Lilith did and that she was their villain in season 2 and 2B, but lampshading isn't the same thing as progress. As a result, as a Lilith fan you kind of never really forgive her for what she did. None of that's her fault, cause' you know...she doesn't exist, but it makes it frustrating that you the fan watching the show is doing the heavy-lifting in your mind in this area.What you come away from is this feeling of loving the characters for being able to work everything out. They're engaging and nuanced in theory, but you also feel robbed, w or w/o the Disney interference, of them being fully rounded or WHOLE. It kinda feels like 'and suddenly, he wasn't racist, anymore' all the time with every character ever with except Amity's mom, the Titan Trappers and Belos.

The reason everyone dunks on Star vs the Forces of Evil's finale, (besides being salty over ship wars and declaring THAT'S the reason for the drop in quality) is that 'Cleaved' could have not only worked but REALLY worked. It just needed to be better written and processed as an ending. Instead people reviled Star, the protagonist we're supposed to be rooting for, for what feels like impulsive apathy and cruelty towards everyone else by destroying magic, as opposed to it being an actually selfless sacrifice that makes her different than Toffee. Ultimatley, I do prefer The Owl House, unfinished as it is, to any of that. But yeah... I can now never unsee the characters as being what they are: fun but indulgent when they're supposedly complex. Indulgent is never bad u guys, but the problem is when you only have that to go on while insisting you have fully developed characters, there's a lot of the show telling you how to feel and how to come away from it rather than letting you, the audience, make of that yourself. As annoying as fan-wars can be over this stuff and when people are either WAAAY to forgiving of their villain blorbo or form hate-campaigns over Glub Shitto for ruining their life, it is ultimately a good thing that shows give you that chance to really see the characters that way at all.

The Owl House is, as OP calls it, "tumblr feels" not for being gay and magical and fun and wholesome and indulgent like that stuff is GREAT. It feels 'tumblr oriented' in that it all kind of feels too easy even when it's not for your protagonists. It's never actually "challenging". I guess, in as far as 'good' indulgence is concerned, it's as warm and fuzzy and a happy AU fanfic you found but not so much the Pacifist Ending of Undertale where you really do feel bad if you rectify the good ending in anyway. It's fun and it's comfort food, but not entirely lasting as you want it to be???

Amphibia, I think, was also way better than Owl House in this respect. It wasn't perfect cause nothing is but you really got a feeling for HOW flawed Marcy, Sasha, the townsfolk and even Hop Pop throughout their arcs-- which made it so SO rewarding to see them get their happy endings and come together to defeat the core and be the better people they needed to become.

The Owl House is my favorite where I think Amphibia is the better of the two.

#ramble #the owl house #toh critical #good lord did any of this make any sense Idk #franki's features #I guess technically King had the most fufilled arc #considering he thought he was a dictator-realized he wasn't-and then w he found out his true past was horrified by it but coped #discuss
