List of “enemies to lovers: zombie apocalypse edition” prompts 

Requested by: Anonymous Request: “I know this is pretty specific, but I am hyper fixating on the apocalypse rn, so what do you think about enemies to lovers prompts, but in the apocalypse?? Love your acc so much!!” 

“As much as I hate you and want you dead, I don’t want to have to witness seeing you being eaten by one of those fuckers.”

“Are you actually brainless and think the zombies won’t get you? What made you think that was a good fucking idea?”

“Leave if you don’t want to die too—” “Funnily enough, I don’t want you to die alone.”

“Oh, so now you want to act like you give a shit about me—” “I’ve always given a shit about you, I just didn’t know how to show it until I saw you being attacked like that by someone who isn’t me.” 

“Why’d you save me? Thought you wanted me dead.” “Well, I want the reason to be me, not by the hands of some infected wanker.” 

“Oh, I’m sure zombies wouldn’t want to eat someone who clearly doesn’t have a fucking brain anyway, so why are you so scared?” “Well, I guess you and zombies have something in common. You’re attracted to brainless people like me.” “Who— what?! What utterly preposterous accusation is that?!” 

“You stupid idiot! You could have died out there like that! And here you were, talking about wanting to get out of this alive and shit!”

“We’re in the apocalypse, for God’s sake! Stop giving each other those bedroom eyes,” Character C complains. Their complaints are met by flabbergasted sounds and noises which resemble denial from both Character A and B.

“Oh my God, you fucking stink!” “Yeah, well, you don’t smell of roses and daisies yourself so let’s get some sleep and conserve our energy for later.” “You’re telling me to share this makeshift bed with you?” 

“Why did you… You could have gotten bitten yourself!” “Yeah, well, I clearly care more about your survival than I would have realised, and my former self would have liked.”

The vast majority of people who work on a show are paid upfront for their labour

They don't get paid dependent on how successful a show is

They also don't do work that doesn't get paid- if they are working on a show that gets cancelled, they get paid for the work they did

All this 'stream GO for the hard workers behind the scenes' is bullshit

They work for companies are will be put on different projects

Just be honest that you want more GO (despite the message that it sends to studios- that audiences are ok with abusers! Just turn a blind eye to them! Yes that gives them more power but who cares because people will watch and make them money!)

Don't pretend your doing this for moral reasons

(And acting like you're doing this for Terry- for all we know he might want his work with an abuser completely destroyed- it's stupid to assume he'd want the series to be continued)

Like say this shit with your chest, you know?

Oh boy, ok. Gonna take a minute to answer this.

Firstly, I and a lot of the fandom, are heartbroken over what NG has done. Because we were duped into thinking he was a decent person. From the things that he wrote to the things that he said we thought that he was good person. And it is horrible that there are people out there suffering because yet another rich powerful white man decided he had the right to take advantage of them.

You seem rather angry and if that anger stems because you have experienced something similar yourself then I hope you have love and support around you so that you can heel.

If you want to talk about money, let me remind you that NG has already been paid for season 3. He will continue to get royalties, and thanks to the writers strike last year, he will now get more money for those royalties than before. If S3 doesn’t go ahead then hundreds of people will lose their jobs. Will they get other jobs? Sure, maybe. But any loss of job in this current economic climate is terrible and stressful (and I’m not talking about DT or MS here. They’ll get more work).

I don’t know if you understand how hyper fixation in neurodiversity works, but this is extremely painful for some people and takes a lot of time and energy and therapy to get over when a hyper fixation is threatened or taken away. Some people, like myself, need closure for things otherwise we can find it extremely difficult to move on emotionally. This obviously does not compare to someone trying to survive after SA, but emotional diversity can be extremely debilitating as well. They are apples and oranges to compare, but you can’t invalidate one person’s pain because you think another person’s pain is worth more.

As for the show itself, there is so little queer representation in media. There is a lot more nowadays compared to a decade ago, or even 5 years ago, but the little representation we have is so extremely important. Do you know how many people have found a truth to themselves thanks to GO? How many people discovered something about themselves that finally gives them answer to how they feel? How at the age of 40 I finally realised that I’m asexual and NOT BROKEN. That’s fucking important.

And this. ALL of this is why everyone, including me, are so fucking angry with NG. Because he has left us emotionally devastated. He has not just physically hurt these women. He has emotionally hurt hundreds of thousands of people. He is a stain.

I have spoken before when this all first happened about how I was angry that my one teeny tiny corner of the internet that made me happy was on fire. I left for a bit. I came back. I want to continue to interact with like minded people who love this fandom. I won’t stop that.

And frankly, and here’s the last I’ll say on this, the world is on fire. It is filled with a lot of fucking awful shit right now. I have suffered a very deep depression of late where some nights after I put the kids to bed I just stare and cry. You don’t know that about me because I don’t say those kinds of things on the internet, because our internet personas are facades. They’re not real. They’re not true life. I’m a real person and I’m aching inside about so many things. And these kinds of messages are just breaking me further. Seriously, when you send stuff like this do you even consider that?! So when I decide to hold onto one of the last bastions of entertainment that brings me joy, I’m not going to be guilted into dropping it because someone involved happens to be a monster. Because let me tell you if we did that every time someone turned out to be horrible, then we would never watch or enjoy anything ever again. EVERYTHING you watch or listen to or enjoy or like or cared about is connected to someone who is horrible or produced by a gigantic evil corporation (Nestle, Disney, Microsoft, Facebook, Google just to name a few). Every. Single. Thing. It’s the clothing you wear, the electronics you buy, the food you eat, the furniture in your house, and ALL the entertainment you consume. So if you gave up everything for some moral stance, then you would literally have nothing left.

Dropping Good Omens does nothing. It sends no message to anyone because the next really fucking awful person is about to produce the next big thing you might happen to love and care about. So what’s the point?

Let me have Good Omens. You don’t like that, then you can block me. That’s what the button is there for. You don’t need to send anonymous hateful messages. And if you want me to “say this shit with my chest” maybe you can send me an ask with the Anonymous off. So I can see your chest too.

I’m turning off anonymous asks now. Considering the only asks I’ve ever received is abusive shit telling me to kill myself or saying David Tennant is a paedophile or just telling me I’m a horrible person for supporting NG (when I’ve already stated before that I don’t anymore).

Sorry for those who’ve managed to get to the end here. Thanks for reading if you have, sorry it was so long. I hope you aren’t receiving the same type of messages. If Anonymous has read this far, I don’t know, maybe think twice before being horrible to random people on the internet?

[lace-coffin]

Hi im that person that asked for the stufed toy thing and oh my god i loved it so much i loved everything and onece your requests are open sorry im asking while they are shut i had this sudden idea for a request sorry😭😭 ive also kinda got 2 ideas soooo sorry😅

But like a reader that is obsessed with drawing and loved to draw cute and sweet drawings to give to asa to do with their hyper fixation or every time they are with him they start ranting to him about it or them i dont know but he would be so educated on their hyper fixation unless its bugs then he would already know everything haha

Or idea 2

The reader likes to lick things randomly for no particular reason they just like to do it or they love physical touch and cant get enough of it always cuddling with asa at night as close as they can and just imagine them cuddling and they just lick him then he just gets confused that would be so funny to imagine😭😭

Or the reader for the same type of thing as the plushie one but instead music to calm them down and they would have like a tiny crying fit for their headphones bc i have had alot of meltdowns over not having my headphones its crazy i love your writing so much hope u have a good day❤️

Asa Emory x Autistic!Gn!Reader with a new hyperfixation

Requests are open!

Hi I hope you like this! I totally crammed my last two fixations into this < 3

Call Asa old but he wasn’t exactly up to date on video games. He defiantly was now at least, not that he had much choice. You were always flipping between interests, intensely talking and interacting with one topic for weeks or months at a time and then switching to another that catches your interest. It’s been Sonic The Hedgehog for atleast 3 weeks now.

He didn’t exactly picture his desk to be filled with pictures of anthropomorphic hedgehogs but here he is, he kinda signed up for this when he stuffed you into the trunk, knowingly or not. As long as you’re happy then he’s happy, even if he thinks you’re spending a little too much time on that GameCube you begged him to bring to hotel..

A few weeks pass and it’s now the Saw franchise. Victims being “tested” in disgusting gory traps by a man that fancies himself to be god? This is more up to his speed..pun unintended.

A series of excited knocks sound from the door of your masters workroom. Stretching his taught shoulders and neck he takes inventory of his aching muscles, he supposes he can take a break to spend some time with his puppy. Slumping back in the chair and swinging it to face to door Asa calls you in. “Enter”

Keeping your eyes pinned to the floor until given further permission you enter the room, shuffling over to drop to your knees in front of your owner, waiting for the order. The currently unmasked man drinks in your appearance, oversized jumper falling to sit on your neatly pressed together thighs and the collar he places on you every morning slightly twisted, the tag not where it should be.

“Eyes up pet” he says firmly, snapping his fingers to emphasise the point. Jumping a little at the suddenness you snap your eyes up to meet a fond look on master’s face, you relax a little, letting out a sigh.

Shuffling to prop his chin up with his fist in interest, Asa continues.

“What can I do for you pet?”

Visibly perking up and practically vibrating on the wooden floor you push the paper into Asa’s face, defiantly too close, there’s no way he can actually see it like that. Realising this you settle to put it in his lap and stare back at him hopefully.

“I drew more pictures! I wanted you to see..” you reply a little shy, suddenly realising how loud and excitable you had been, insecurity creeping in. Asa recognises you shrinking in on yourself and tuts. “Can I see, cricket?” He adds softly, prompting you to show him what you’ve been working on, he never wants you to feel ashamed about you’re passions even if you’ve been taught in the past to ‘tone it down’

Asa wants all of you, he accepted that from the moment he hoisted you into the box, to the moments when he firmly settles the collar around your throat every morning.

Soft smile settling onto your face you hand over the paper, not ignoring the way your knuckles brush against your masters during the exchange.

You wait with baited breath as he looks the paper over, you know he would never say anything demeaning about your art but you can’t help feel a little anxiety when letting someone in on something special to you. Todays drawing is a rough sketch of your for a saw trap, it’s grisly and frankly disgusting, you don’t envy anyone that would end up strapped down and desperate on the other end of it. Obviously you have no need for a contraption like that, but it’s only an (admittedly) sick fantasy.

After flicking through the diagrams and reading the notes as best he can (it’s not your fault he can’t read you’re handwriting well 🙄) a strange look crosses his face..it’s almost like you can see the cogs working in his brain. this could either be fantastic or a disaster, Asa isn’t one to do things half assed, it’s always all or nothing.

“Can I use this?” The silence is suddenly broken, his sclera eyes raising to meet your own, not any less eerie than when hidden behind his mask.

A strange feeling begins to pool in your stomach, should you feel exited? Proud that he wants to use your plans? Or disgusted? Sick to your stomach that the plans you never envisioned actually coming to fruition will be used to torture some poor individual? Unsure how to feel or respond you stare back at him, lips slightly parted as if trying to muster something up.

“These are wonderful cricket, they may need a little tinkering to make them functional but regardless this design is…fascinating.” A sickly sweet smile sits on your masters lips as he hands the paper back to you, ruffling your hair and placing a chaste kiss to the crown of your head.

Stunned and with a pit in your stomach you nod dumbly, leaning into the affection and practically purring. The idea that you’ve just essentially sentenced someone to their painful and unethical demise is soul crushing…but also a little thrilling? Has your owner really rubbed off on you this much? It’s not like you don’t know what he does day in and day out but it’s never been this..personal.

Asa slaps his knees (like the old man he is) and rolls back over to the desk, pushing away his current projects and random hardware to make room for your (his) new trap.

“Can you bring me the paper please, doll?. I would like to get started as soon as possible.”

Shaking off the ever building dread you pull yourself up, a little unsteady due to the burning in your thighs from sitting in one position so long. Placing the paper on his desk you stare back at him, waiting for further instruction. you’re not sure when he ended up ingraining that response into your mind but at this point it’s not worth questioning, it’s not hard to see that the pair of you are living in your own little world outside of normal society by now.

“You’re welcome to either sit by me as I work and give input considering it’s you’re design or you may sit on your bed and wait for me to finish”

You glance over at the cushy pet bed across the room from Asa’s desk…a lay down does sound ideal right now, maybe a nap will help clear your head? Or swallow the guilt.

“I’m gonna lay down sir, maybe nap a little, promise I won’t snore and distract you” you tease, giggling and feeling a little better in yourself.

Asa huffs out a chuckle at your joke. “I’ll be sure you don’t little bug.” He says, smiling gently at you. You turn to leave before being stopped in your tracks.

“One more thing, pet”

Cool gloved hands slide around your neck making you shiver at the contact, the small misplaced silver tag is slid back into its original place, proudly stating your name and owner on the front like a brand.

“There we go, much better”

Blushing a little you thank your owner and wonder off to the dog bed, curling up and lazily watching him work from afar.

All mbav characters are gay and neurodivergent.

Here’s my headcanons for each of them (will happily go into more detail on any one of them if asked)

Benny -

- ADHD. Diagnosed at 8, it was really obvious to like everyone around him.

- stims by singing/humming/being loud.

- bisexual or at least a little bit-curious.

- definitely had a small crush on Ethan at some point, (possibly didn’t realise and thought that was just how best friends felt).

Rory -

- ADHD, Autism. Diagnosed around 10-12 when his parents thought he was acting a bit odd for a boy of his age.

- really likes teddies and toys, they have feeling and names.

- Pansexual but doesn’t know it. “I just like people?” Kinda guy.

- also not a guy cause “I’m just Rory?” Kinda guy too.

Erica -

- Autism. Late diagnosis, 15ish.

- she was really quiet and well behaved so no one thought she was autistic.

- special interests are vampires and dusk.

- bisexual, (in denial about liking woman tho).

Sara -

- very social, possibly the only neurotypical person there?

- but also no, cause OCD. Diagnosed not long before being turned.

- has awful intrusive thoughts about killing her friends, exercises and eats junk as a distraction/compulsion.

- straight passing bisexual (preference for guys) who is also asexual.

Ethan -

- the most autistic man alive. Super late diagnosis (like diagnosed during the show) cause somehow no one noticed?

- unlabelled because he doesn’t really know what he likes he just thinks everyone is cool and Sara is super cool (so is Benny).

- his friends pointed out that being semi-verbal, stimming, hyper fixations and panic attacks were symptoms of autism (he thought he was just a bit odd).

- bad with sarcasm but also the most sarcastic man alive? He’s a walking contradiction.

When rewatching Thanks for the Memory, I’ve realised that Rimmer was never mad at Lister for being with Lise Yates. But just mad at Lise Yates only for supposedly cheating on him.

It is such a small detail and I’m probably reading too much into it. But the hyper fixation in my brain wants to be over-curious. But I dunno, it’s just a thought that just needs to be shared.

Cus Rimmer is not mad at Lister for being with Lise. He’s mad at Lise supposedly ‘cheating’ on him. Maybe his self-esteem dropped dramatically when he found out the letters as he cannot believe anyone would be with him wholeheartedly. Like in Infinity Welcome Drivers, he conjures up Juanita Chicata cheating on him also.

I don’t think Rimmer believes he can be fully loved and he thinks of them being silly if they do like Nirvana Crane in Holoship. Plus the closest thing shown in the shows of an actual genuine love is with Yvonne McGruder in the Last Human which ended in a misunderstanding (which I’m still angry about). Also with Lister, but that’s a rabbit hole I’m not going down in today.

All in all, Rimmer doesn’t blame Lister for being with Lise Yates maybe cus he believes Lister is the innocent party also. Or it could be said that Rimmer doesn’t trust women cus of his mother issues and that’s a whole different issue to look at.

Uhmm I'm in need of a ross smutty workout blurb cuz oh man I'm down bad and I need him to destroy my p**** respectfully

hi responding to this ask after way too long here's a video and long ass blurb (1.6k words) as compensation 😇

18+ minors dni!!!

~

'urghh- fuck'

ross' groans and grunts of exertion from working out echo through the apartment and you'd be lying if you said it wasn't making you insanely turned on. you do all you can to resist interrupting him, pressing your thighs together as you shift around on the couch for some type of relief. it doesn't help, his huffs and groans are getting louder the longer he's at it.

picturing your boyfriend, sweaty and breathless in his skin tight workout gear is what makes you finally give in. you get up and make your way over to the spare room where he has his little at home gym setup.

you peep your head around the door to see ross lying down doing bench presses with a bar that must weigh more than you, arms straining with every lift. you can see the little tufts of hair in his armpits when he lifts it up, moving slightly with every flex of his shoulders. his legs are on full display facing out towards you, and the nylon material ending barely halfway down his thighs isn't doing much to hide his bulge. the sight of him nearly makes you cum on the spot, and a moan involuntarily leaves your throat. you freeze in place, but of course he heard you, there's no going back now. he places the bar back in the holder above his head and cranes his neck up to look at you, a soft smile playing on his lips.

he sits up as you walk over to him cautiously, hyper aware of the sticky mess already forming between your legs. 'hi baby, need something?' you climb into his lap without hesitation, your brain already short circuiting at the way the bulge in his shorts pushes against your core. his arms, back and forehead are damp with sweat, which somehow makes you even hornier. 'no... m-maybe... just like hearing you is all,' you murmur, a flush rising in your cheeks.

his face breaks into a knowing grin as his hands run up and down your sides, leaving goosebumps in their wake. 'hm, why's that angel?' he asks, bringing a hand up to push your hair behind your ear. it's at that moment you realise he's wearing his gold chain. that and the tank top is a dangerous combination. 'ross...' you whine, turning and looking away flusteredly, before he grabs your jaw and turns you to look at him. he tilts his head back, drinking in the lust written across your face. 'use your words baby, what do you want?'

'you.' it barely comes out as a whisper but your hands make up for the lack of words by threading through the hairs at the back of his neck, pulled tightly into a ponytail, and tugging just under the bobbin. he groans and rests his forehead against yours, eyes fluttering shut. you can feel him hardening quickly under you, getting more turned on by the second. working out always made him like this. all the extra testosterone pumping through him meant he usually needed something to take it out on, be it you or his fist with a picture of you in front of him when you weren't around.

'how long had you been listening to me angel?' he whispers, tracing his fingertips down your back gently. 'too long, im- mmh- need you, daddy, m'so wet,' you whine, grinding on him harder and ignoring the humiliation creeping through your mind at how pathetic you sound. 'god, someone's needy today,' he smirks, although his eyes are already dilated gazing at you.

he's entranced, fixated on how easily you submit to your own desires.

he picks up the bar behind him and lets it fall to the floor with a thud, making space to lie back fully with you on top of him.

'watch, you'll break the floorboards,' you say, leaning down with a smirk in your eyes as if you're not worried about the weight falling so hard. you grind into him slightly as you press a hand onto his chest, making him burn with desire for you. 'oh I'll show you breaking the fucking floorboard-,' he barely finishes his sentence, pulling you into him harshly and attacking your lips with his. you gasp at the sudden contact and the intensity of the kiss, melting into him instantly. breathlessness takes over the two of you, rutting against each other desperately as your hair falls down around his face.

his cock is thick and hard between your legs, straining against his sweaty gym shorts. the feeling of it makes you clench uselessly as you fumble around with your hands to pull them down. he lifts his hips off the bench to help you pull them down, taking his boxers with them. you look down and your head goes fuzzy when you see his erection, red and throbbing already. he inhales sharply as you instinctively take it in your hand, slinking down his legs to bow your head down. he stops you just before your tongue touches off him.

'darling, not n-now, mmh, need to fuck you, okay?' he manages to say between heavy breaths. you nod your head yes, smiling coyly at the fact he's so needy and worked up already. he doesn't even notice how his hips involuntarily rise to meet your lips in contradiction to his words.

'lie down,' he says, slipping out from under you as you lay down obligingly. goosebumps prickle your body in anticipation. he gets up to stand towering over you at the foot of the bench and drags you down by the waist until you're right where he wants you.

you spread your legs instinctively and his eyes are instantly drawn to the pool of wetness seeping through your shorts. 'fucking hell, must have been torture sitting out there for so long, needy little whore,' he says with a smug grin. you can't help the way your eyes flicker between his face and his cock, your pussy throbbing at the thought of him inside you.

he pushes the skimpy bottoms to the side and trails a finger up your soaked cunt, making your eyes flutter shut and a desperate whimper escapes your throat. he can't help touching himself at the sight before him, biting his lip to stifle a groan as he works his fist up and down in anticipation, beads of precum rolling down his shaft. 'perfect', he mumbles under his breath. your cheeks flush.

he doesn't waste another second before hooking his fingers under the waistbands and all but ripping your pants off, throwing them aside carelessly.

you lie still, fawning up and waiting for him to make the next move. he returns his hand, this time slipping in two fingers with barely any resistance. he twists and curls and spreads his fingers as if you're a toy, trying to find the position that makes you drool.

and he does. he manages to find a spot inside you that has you seeing stars instantly, arching your back and letting out an obscene sound as he keeps hitting it perfectly. the sight of you is too much for him and before you can even think, the digits are replaced by his cock nudging at your entrance.

as soon as he pushes his tip into you, you know you're not going to last long. soft moans fall from your lips with every thrust. his arms tremble with fatigue over you, but he doesn't falter. if anything it spurs him on to fuck you faster.

the smell of musk and sweat and Him clouds your senses. it makes you impossibly more turned on, throwing your head back as he whines into your neck.

'ughhh- fuck, always so tight and wet for me, good girl'. 'your good girl,' you agree. his hands are on your shoulders, pinning you exactly where he wants you. he brings his hand down to your lower stomach, using his thumb to swipe back and forth over your clit. you can't help the pathetic whimpers that fill the room, it feels too good to care.

it's messy and hot and it feels like you're both on a high, chasing the end of each other. your hands wander all over him with the indecisive need to simply be as close to him as you can be. his eyes are inches from yours, an intense, almost primal stare burning through you.

'fuck, darling, I'm so close, you want me to fill you up? want this pretty little cunt dripping with me hm?' you nod your head, jaw slack, barely able to speak as pleasure courses through your veins, his words only making you whine further.

his thrusts get sloppy and fast as your insides are set aflame, and suddenly you're plummeting, gripping onto his back, leaving nail marks on the back of his neck and crying out. he's not far behind you. one final thrust and his eyes flutter closed, lips pursed shut as a heavy groan rips from his chest. he attacks your lips once more as he moves slowly and precisely, spilling every last drop into you.

he pulls away and his greedy eyes scan your body, taking in how fucked out you look; lips red and bitten raw, chest heaving with every breath under a glossy sheen of sweat. 'fuck, i think I've done enough working out for the both of us,' he laughs.

you eventually manage to move to the bed and lie down into each other for a while, between giggles and kisses, basking in the mutual infatuation between you.

OC SMASH OR PASS

tagged by @harellan 🥰

tagging @katsigian @elvenbeard @wraithsoutlaws @my-alternatevy @kharonion @theloverstemperance (no worries if you don't want to or have already done it ❤️)

rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

BASICS

Full Name: Viceroy De’Angelo Torres

Nickname: V, to anyone not a family member

Age: 27 in 2077

Height: 6’/182 cm

Eyes: Colour matched his Kiroshis to his natural dark green

Gender: Cisgender man

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Pansexual

PROS

Is tall and strong; you need something heavy from the top shelf, he’s got you covered, (but he’ll tease you the whole time).

Fosters a sense of community where-ever he goes! He has pals and acquaintances all over, even in some really hostile areas. Because of this, he’s very resourceful, and always knows a guy who knows a guy.

Have something you’re incredibly passionate about? Congrats! He’s passionate about it now too, and will listen to you talk about your interests for hours.

Is surprisingly patient with people in difficult situations (who didn't seemingly get themselves into said situation), and doesn’t take most things personally. Thick-skinned softie.

Enjoys every genre of music, and I do mean, every genre. Put on your fave tunes without fear of judgement, he’ll always jam out with you!

Isn’t afraid of looking silly if it makes you laugh! He’s secure enough in himself that he’s always comfortable in his own skin, and there’s very little he’s not willing to do to cheer you up.

Is very intense in bed, and tends to get wholly lost in the experience. When he wants you, he wants you bad.

CONS

Is an addict, straight up. Alcohol is the big one, but he also smokes, and uses hard drugs (bar synthcoke after a bad batch almost killed him) and while he’s self-aware enough to know he’s an addict, he isn’t interested in getting clean any time soon.

Has an explosive temper, and a very provocative sense of humour. He has to be reminded to censor himself in situations where it isn’t appropriate, and his anger is very hard to rein in.

Has a very fucked up sleep schedule; in fact, he doesn’t have much of a routine at all. There’s no rhyme or reason to his availability, as he’ll go off to do a gig at 3AM just as easily as 3PM, simply because he wants to, and will just sleep whenever he’s tired for maybe 5-6 hours.

It’s On Sight™ with some folk, and nothing you say will deter him. He’ll go looking for fights when he’s aggravated instead of trying any other, healthier coping mechanism.

Is a natural flirt, and sometimes doesn’t realise just how far he goes with it.

Left to his own devices, he will do some gonk shit if he gets bored. Tends to run toward danger, instead of away from it. Thanks to his heavy-duty protective cybernetics, he sometimes thinks he’s invincible. He’s a reckless driver, and has never really fostered any sense of self-preservation to speak of regarding speed, heights, or running his mouth.

Will hyper-fixate on something to the degree that he won’t answer calls or texts for hours. Doesn’t really feel any urgency to work on that either.

EXTRAS

Has serious FOMO and can’t really keep his nose out of things once he gets wind of them. He’s got a knack for getting himself involved in everything.

Is almost always playing music, or is humming or singing something under his breath. Can’t fucking stand silence.

Enjoys trashy tv – he watches shows like Watson Whore and Little Big Corporats religiously.

Eats a lot of junk food and if given the choice will always pick the nastiest, greasiest item on the menu.

His sense of fashion can be a bit much sometimes, and while he usually manages to pull his wacky outfits off, he understands not everyone else will vibe with it. Just don’t cramp his style.

Owns a frankly ridiculous amount of sunglasses. Yes, you can borrow them.

His love languages are words of affirmation, and physical touch.

propaganda time;

Hi, currently in love with your work. I’m on my 4th re-read since I discovered All’s Fair several months ago, and I have you to thank for prolonging my current Atla Hyper-fixation. Back in the building.

I wanted to ask when you started this story, how much did you develop characters like Shen or Kazuma? Were they mainstays since the beginning or did you end up coming up with them and their roles as the story progressed?

In chapter 12 of War Crimes, Shen mentions both his brother and his mother eluding to what happened to them so clearly he had something going for him since he first showed up, and it got me started on this train of thought, wondering just how ingrained in the story you figured they’d be? Cause I don’t see a ton of OCs in fics that affect the story this much, nor are such well rounded characters of their own I forget they aren’t in the actual show.

What made you decide to bring their roles in the story to the forefront?

Also, if you’re still doing the WIP and game;

“Stop” or “Dread” ?

Thanks and keep up the good work! heaps of praise upon thee!

Hello! So sorry its taken an age to respond, being sick knocked it out of me.

4 rereads is a lot! Glad you have enjoyed so much!

In regards to your questions about the OCs – it varies from character to character.

During War Crimes, I started planning War Games and I was torn between using Hakoda as the main adult view point character or making someone new. I felt like Hakoda was going to need to be focused on Sokka and their relationship, so I created Shen. I planned a basic backstory for him (his brother, the fact he was essentially a grown-up child soldier) and then sort of just waited to see how it turned out while writing. I didn't really have an end game for him, although I knew the important beats when it came to his interactions with the kids. It was actually the way I wanted to introduce Suki that was the main influence for the direction his story went and I think the catalyst for him becoming so entwined in the story.

Which leads me to Kazuma.... he did not exist until he was on the page 😅 I needed someone to take Shen to be imprisoned with Suki. So I made Kazuma... I like to give even the small characters a little bit of backstory – even if it never makes it into the fic, it makes them feel more nuanced in my head. So I gave him a bit of personality and a (tragic) back story and then decided I quite liked him. I thought his perspective would be interesting – being in a similar position to Shen but on the Fire Nation side. So I just rolled with it, and then somewhere around his first POV I realised he was exactly what I needed for Azula's story. So he was very much a fly by the seat of the pants character! Although when I got him figured out and how he would be involved with the story things became far more planned and now he is all tied up with plot.

Hua was plotted from the end of War Crimes, but Tu was more flexible. I knew how I was going to use him just not the details. Jianjun has also grown as I have written him. I always knew what I wanted him to do, just not quite how 😂, so he has grown as a character as I write.

It was never my intention to get any of them so wrapped up in the plot, it just sort of happened that way, so I’m rolling with it 😅

Thank you for the ask! And the interest in the OC’s ❤️❤️

I will come back to the ask game when I have written a little more of the new chapter 😂

Hello, I would like to start off with BYHTD. This is a very long message, so i apologise right now.

Never have i been so afraid of just knowing there might be a second part to a fic before. No afraid as in fear, but afraid as in the anticipation of adrenaline when you reach the highest point of a rollercoaster and you know it's abt to go down.

I gobbled up all the asks and everything to do with this fic. I'm so sO NOT normal.. and this level of hyper fixation is extremely new to me. I mean it. This one made me switch my cellphone off, had me deep breathing, muttering small 'damn', 'shit' 'fuckk' at random times during the day.

I've re-read it a couple times now and it just keeps pulling me in. I personally do NOT enjoy angst/ pining, etc. Not without assurance that the ending will be 'happy'. Yet this one. It's like when one first starts to get a taste for good wine, you know. For someone who absolutely detests the sad parts of a story, has even SKIPPED them in so many fics I've read before (not proud of it, but the heart wants what it wants), I am surprised to see that the parts that i specifically go back to are the ones where the reader is especially hurting/jealous. Like the realisation that they're both into other women but not reader. It hurts good. I was not this person. The story changed me. HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?

FINALLY, to My question. What would happen if reader just sort of... Gives up in the sense of wanting a romantic partner altogether? As in she just accepts that she's not going to get a good partner, and since all of her partners turn out to be 'evil' (given stsg frame them, etc) she decides to move on to 'self love/care'?

Imo, what if she wallows for a long time and the yearning gets to her. She realises what's happening and decides to participate on her own terms. So much so, that she does a 180 in her approach, and takes away what they hold most dear (her complete attention on them) and give them what they most fear (a stone cold facade that is borderline too sweet, too nonchalant, showing them that their antics have saturated the reader to the extent she's no longer affected). She just starts (outwardly) shifting her focus onto her work, etc. Like a sudden workaholic, who's gymming a lot too, suddenly.

I imagine them going in more aggressive, taking about their sexcapades more openly and all, but reader just... starts smiling and laughing with them. Even specifically mentions one of her 'friends' is interested in joining stsg, if they'd be interested. "She seems like your type. She saw you guys in my birthday pictured, and hasn't stopped talking about both of you. I can set y'all up on a date or something, since you're looking to spice stuff up... so yeah. lemme know."

All smiles and 'genuinely' looking out for them. And the whole times she's thinking... I'm gonna be an equally bad nightmare to you, I'm going to play according to MY rules and I'm not playing 'your' game. We're all playing mine now.

That's it. I'm glad I could voice it out because i haven't been at rest ever since I had these thoughts shimmering in my head.

I just want the reader to still have her pride intact, regardless of how the story goes. (I only just came to this realisation after I wrote this long-ass message)

Thank you for reading, I cherish you and your writing with my all my sanity and conscientiousness.

jdklsdhgfs i got this ask (and several others!) before posting the part two so let me just say!!! thank you so much for enjoying my work this much!

you, amongst several other anons, were so encouraging sending me asks like this. i had the "film them for onlyfans content" idea before this ask was even sent in, but it was SO fun to hear people talk about what they'd like to see next.

that being said, i hope it lived up to your expectations sjfhklgshdfg honestly i was kind of worried for a while that the next part i wrote might not live up to the first. but you gotta just for got it sometimes, you know?

but it is SO. gratifying. to think that this is how the fic feels from a reader's POV. as a writer i pour over these words and ideas SO MANY TIMES,, especially something like this part two which i worked on across a few weeks, it starts to feel stale, and i second-guess myself. hearing how much suspense you were in makes me feel like what i wrote actually was as emotionally impactful as i thought it was, and it's so rewarding to hear <3

honestly though if it makes you feel better, i also can struggle to get through a lot of super angsty stuff. there are particular kinds of angst that i can really feast on, but a lot of it can be a struggle to read through. i straight up skip the "hurt no comfort" tag most of the time, like for me a lot of the purpose of angst is the comfort or comeuppance.

but anyways... among the many theorizations for what reader could do, this is definitely on the more realistic side. gojo and geto have no good way of sabotaging your self-care and emotionally manipulating you much further than they already have.

the whole point of BYHTD is that they're reaching the limits of what they can do to you emotionally. there's just not a lot left to do without confessing.

i think the real problem with this route is, though it's an emotionally satisfying journey for the reader, i would struggle to create drama and yandere behavior like the original fic would call for. this is more a continuation that would focus on emotional growth and stuff.

even with the reader trying to play it cool and set them up with others. when you're manipulating someone, what you usually want is a reaction, and if the reader has feelings for them, still, well, they're really not better off than they were before.

it could be fun from satoru and suguru's povs as they try to sabotage your self care and slowly lose their minds more and more, but as a writer i shine more with emotional outbursts, or extremely fucked up yandere behavior (however dramatic/subtle it may be).

who knows though. maybe therapy is in the cards somewhere,,, SOMEONE here is going to have to change,, although to be fair. maybe not for the better >.>

but!!! i think i did do a good job keeping the reader's dignity!!! i absolutely feel you there like. on one hand there is value in putting the reader through hell, but personally i almost always need them to come out on the other side. i can be very stubborn with my grudges and i generally don't write readers who forget that they were wronged.

anyways!!! you are forgiven for the long ask, really, don't worry about it! i am always happy to talk about my work (although sometimes i have to stop so i can... actually work XD) - and i hope, whoever you are, you've enjoyed the next part that came out <3

[sciencegothic]

ooh, 5 or 10 for the special interest ask game? :)

bee !! hi !! thank you for the ask <3

5. Share something cool about your special interest with us?

i’ve realised recently my main special interest right now is all things victorian gothic (especially jekyll and hyde, but a lot of literature and media and fashion beyond that also) and what’s cool is that it’s the longest special interest i’ve had in a while. it’s been a few months now which is really nice, a lot of my recent hyperfixtaions have died after a few weeks, which is hard? it makes me feel lost, i guess

in terms of cool facts, literally just as i got into phantom of the opera they did a showing of the recorded anniversary performance at my local cinema and since it was for the anniversary there was some extra stuff at the end, including some past phantom actors coming out to perform. and who was up there singing but mr anthony warlow henry-jekyll-edward-hyde himself !! and i hasn’t known what he looked like before that, but i knew his voice immediately. and what’s really cool is that in his song in jekyll and hyde “i need to know”, there is a line “i need to know what makes men past the point of no return”, and “the point of no return” is a song in phantom !!

sorry i’m just fully infodumping now, but it’s so cool to me all the little connections between all my little hyperfixations within my wider special interest <3

10. Who is your favourite person to talk about your special interest with? (If they're on tumblr, tag them!)

oh that’s a good question !! i’m not the best at talking to people on here honestly, it’s a lot of me just shouting into the void. but @magefelixir @jekyllsscience and @storm-ismyusername have sent me some jekyll and hyde related asks a couple of times which honestly just fills me with so much joy !! i also enjoyed talking to you a lot when i was super hyper fixated on epic <3 (i loved ithaca saga by the way! my mind is very preoccupied right now so i apologise for the lack of epic posting but !! it was so good)

[boobersandstuff]

Bored so here are all of my solangelo head cannons:

• His favourite TV show is toh & arcane (he also LOVES gravity falls)

• Wears a gay pin everywhere and the first time a homophobic person yelled smth like "YOUR GOING TO HELL!" He got really triggered and scared by it but will stood up for him and punch the guy. After that will to comfort & help nico told him how to defend himself in situations like that. Every time afterwards he has a sick burn and slowly over time it stops bothering him and he feels even more confident about himself & his identity

• Nico as a gag gift bought the Sunshine care bear for will on his birthday before giving him a genuine heart warming gift, which was a note and vacation ticket to somewhere nice

• Will treats that care bear like his son

• Will is the number 1 dad EVER and apollo meets the coco puffs and at first didn't like them but slowly over time learns to loves them too

• When they inevitably get married, wills coin becomes nicos wedding ring and nicos ring gets an upgrade. On it incripted in the inside is "my sun, forever bright" and a small little vine design leading to a sun charm next to the skull. On nicos ring there's a star on it and inside it saids "my star, twinkle bright even when it's dark out"

• Nicos wedding outfit is so black, Goth & androgynous, on their way home someone misgenders nico as a women

• NICO HAS FRECKLES ON HIS NOSE WHILE WILL HAS FRECKLES IN HIS CHEEKS! AND WHEN HE GLOWS THEY LOOK LIKE STARS!!!

• Nico wears a lot of stars & space imagery post-tsats because I said so lol

• Post-tsats nico starts expiramenting with his gender. Starting out with eye-liner that will accsedently walked into, sending nico into an embarssed flustered mess but will just laughed and helped him out as best he can. When nico eventually told me about wanting to expirament with his gender presentation, will was more than supportive & helped him out quite a bit.

• Nico is a gay man, demiboy, and acesexual, sex repulsed

• Will is a bisexual, cisman and also ace because fuck it, why not

• They never have sex, like ever, even as adults. They didn't realise this wasn't the norm until percabeth told them and they were like "Wait what? What do you mean? Yes it is?" And then they were like "WHAT!? HUU!? EWW WHY???? NOOOO!!" Rapid google search later, realisation that there's a term for it

• They adopt a cat from a shelter and call him "evergreen" but will only uses the stupidest of nicknames for him

• Both autistic & adhd because I said so

• Nico & will both have the minecraft autism but nico love building a cottage core base & picking flowers, while will loves making redstone contraptions and speedrunning the game

• Nicos favourite youtubers are, jaidenanimations, grian, and Kurt's conner

• Nico gets a slight hyper fixation on anything & everything queer for about month and that's how he learns about everything with that stuff

• Had a favourite plushie that uses to comfort himself. He's embarrassed by it but will never teases him about it and is supportive of him

• Nico loves animated movies and is an mcu fan

• They have a vacation to Australia, because mobsters don't regenerate down there (because our flowera & fauna is already so dangerous that they don't bother.) They go to all the popular areas and such and they come to tassje and I meet them (GUYS ITS REAL! IM NOT DELULU I SWEAR!)

• Will is pretty sappy but nico is sappier

• All the people calling solangelo "cringe" & "cheesey" are only calling them that because it's two boys. If percabeth did the same things solangelo did people would be all over it and would never call them "cringe" or "cheesey"

• Will loves folk-ish & metal music while nico loves all the popular pop girlies & 80's music

• Nicos favourite character in mouthwashing is anya & becomes obsessed with her for about 3 months

• Will can't sing at all but nico has the voice of an angel (pun intended)

• Will can only draw stick figures and bad anime art while nico is amazing drawer

• Will is traditional artist and nico is digital artist

• Nico doesn't like stupid memes & brainrot and will loves to tease nico with them

• Attended a pride march at least once in NYC with all of their friends (percy, annabeth, Reyna, hazel, ect.) It's a core memory for nico because that was the day he truly felt proud of himself and stopped worrying about what people think. The day his internalised homophobia died. They all had a nice meal at a restaurant and the meal he eats there is what ambrosia tastes like for him after that day.

• It's also one of the first times he was so open with his love for will. He didn't hide anything, he was open and proud. Always holding his hand, always kissing him. It's also the day where he learnt that he wasn't alone, that he was never alone. He learnt percy & annabeth are bi, and that reynas aroace. Hazels still straight but amazing ally!

• Nico hates crying in front of people, but the only people he feels comfortable to cry infront of are will, hazel, and Jason. (And maybe Reyna too.)

Hi can I have The main trio + butters and creek with an alt autistic boyfriend that also has a habit of losing track of time when playing video games

Alt + Autistic reader

Gender: masculine

Warnings: brief talk about meltdowns, slight ableism

Notes: mostly writing this from my experience of autism, remember how it's different for everyone!!

☆-stan:

• Definitely needs an Explanation what autism is • He tries really hard to do everything for you • Tries to avoid any sensory issues, speaks for you in case of non-verbality, gets you stuff from your hyper fixation/ special interest(s), etc • Protects you for dear god • Any abliest gets a fist across their face, by the star quarterback • If you're anything like me, you get overly panicked when you aren't in your time plan • So stan specifically tries to keep reminding you of the time when playing, so you keep the time in mind • Listens to you rambling • Always forgets what certain words mean • "Are you uhh uhm.. what was the word?" • Won't treat you much differently, only like the needed things he changes • really likes your style • Helps you find new clothing, but is super unaware 💀 • Will grab kids clothing or something, but usually not something you would wear

☆-kyle:

• Does a lot of research about autism • Also 'interviews' you to find out, what he needs to know • Like if it's okay to hug, what to do when you have meltdowns, etc • Tries to show interest in your hyperfixation but ends up irritating you, because he acts like he knows more • Still shows interest but with less enthusiasm (enough to seem genuine (which he is) though) • Sets strick times for playing, he heavily relays on time plans • Overprotective. • He may infantilize you without noticing • If it bothers you, he'll try super hard to stop though • He's pretty sarcastic • Then he realises you may not understand that it was sarcasm • "I looove hanging out with cartman" ... "that was sarcasm-" • He tries okay 😭 • Doesn't have a big opinion to your style • (He finds it super attractive) • Buys stuff when he thinks it fits your style, he normally gets really good stuff

☆-kenny:

• Kenny doesn't really care • Not in a mean way, just he won't change anything • Except for like the small stuff you tell him you don't like (like physical touch, if you don't like it) • He cracks a few jokes about it but it's never really an important topic for him • He's a really good listener, you can ramble to him for hours • Is kinda oblivious when it comes to the more negative things • If you have a meltdown, you'd need to explain to kenny what that even is, before it happens • If he doesn't know, he'll just give you space • Doesn't care about losing track of time in games, he does it too • What he does care about is your style • He'll tell you everyday how hot you look • Goes shopping with you and helps choose what clothes to get • "6/10, i like how it looks, but it makes your legs look shorter, maybe go for a size smaller" • Real fashion guru

☆-butters:

• Has no idea what autism is • When he finds out, he'll do everything to make you feel comfortable • God bless his heart • Asks for permission to touch you, how you feel, if you aren't overwhelmed, always lets you choose what to eat, etc • Extremely considerate • As example, won't go to a party, if he knows that you don't like crowds (if you do yk) • Great at talking for you • That kind of "excuse me, he asked for no pickles" guy • He also think to much about your gaming habits • Except if you ask him to time it or something • Loves feeling like he can make stuff easier for you • Also loves your sense of fashion • Helps picking out clothes (while considering if you'd like the material) • Would buy similar clothes to match • God.Bless.His.Heart.

☆-creek:

• Neurodivergent couple goals • You'd guys' groupchat would be called something like: two autistis and the add guy • Craig and you would desperately try to find a shared hyperfixation and then battle each other with trivia • And tweek is just chilling • Craig knows how to handle you well, since he's also autistic • And tweek would also have his fair share of knowledge • Very supportive and considerate • Craig keeps track of time while playing (cuz he needs his goddamn time plan 🤝) but tweek loses track of time even faster than you • Both also like your style • But they aren't good at giving advice, in case of shopping or something • Kinda like stan yeah • You and craig have a ramble-tuesday where you tell each other stuff about your hyperfixations

[danykvyat]

So I finished Gintama and I've already started rewatching a couple of my personal favourite episodes (yeah I’m hyper-fixating) but how GOOD some of those earlier arcs were really emphasises how stagnant the ending was. The ending was ok, it wasn't awful, but it was....Meh. I’m late to the party so I’m sure it’s been said a million times before but having all the characters regress back to how they were at the beginning sucked. Nothing changed. For a series that always preached about life being worth living in spite of the change, pain and grief living brings, that sucked. It sucked. 

Shogun Assassination and Farewell Shinsengumi are the high points of the series because the events in the arcs are personal for ALL the characters. By Shogun Assassination our core characters have all come to know and care for Shige Shige so wanting to stop his assassination is a poignant goal for everyone. Farewell Shinsengumi deals with the fallout of failing to achieve that goal, culminating with the Shinsengumi willingly becoming rebels to save Kondo, again, one of THE core characters in the show. Both arcs feel high stakes because they are. They’re centred around established and pre-existing characters we've spent hundreds of episodes with. Our characters' actions feel meaningful. The battles we get feel meaningful. It all feels like it'll build to something even more meaningful because what happens in those arcs force our characters to grow and change.

And then we get Utsuro’s introduction and it all goes downhill from there. Sorachi wrote himself into a corner by making Shoyo Utsuro. The second he did that he had to commit to the ending being Gintoki, Katsura and Takasugi shaving Shoyo. Anything else would not be thematically fulfilling. And he didn't do that. 

It means Silver Soul is (un)intentionally reduced to a really straightforward good vs bad story for all the characters EXCEPT the Joui 3. The rest of the characters (mostly) have no personal ties to Shoyo. They’re stopping Utsuro et al predominantly because they're bad people out to destroy the Earth. That's it. It doesn't feel high stakes because Utsuro is never going to blow up the earth. That's just not going to happen. So it’s not interesting. You could replace almost all of the characters in Silver Soul with no-name background characters and nothing really changes. 

Which makes the ending we did get even more baffling to me because Sorachi clearly realises that or else he wouldn’t have pushed for the ending to go past what had been the agreed end date. And yet the narrative still essentially punishes Gin for his choice to behead Shoyo by having both Takasugi and Shoyo die in the end. Shoyo doesn't get to save his student. Katsura doesn't get to stop Gin from having to cut down someone dear to him again. Takasugi never gets to heal and move on from his trauma. There is zero catharsis. 

And then we flash forward with no reflection from any of the characters on what just happened and to make that worse we find out every character has failed to achieve their goals and everyone has regressed back to being the same character as they were at the beginning. Except we’re meant to be happy about that. It’s…..a choice.

Like I said, I’ve seen worse endings, and if I’m being generous it’s a nice safe ending for the Yorozuya. But I never felt like GinTama was a safe series. Utsuro being Shoyo caused a fundamental flaw with the story that Sorachi never really resolves so just wraps it up with a ‘See! It’s still a hijinks comedy series!’ which by the end, no it was a lot more than that.

Also Sorachi did the Shimuras so dirty. SO dirty.

[mercars-musings]

Thanks for answering! Sorry for repeted questions in Rook Codex. I couldn't find your other answers ;0;

How about Rook and their partner asks? 6, 17 and 18

Hey @nerrels super sorry again for the late reply, I already explained in the last set of asks I just answered from you but I've had such a busy weekend this was the first chance I had to sit down and actually answer these!!! TYSM again for always enabling my desire to Yap about my boy Az, answers are below the cut! :3 🥰 6. What is their favorite thing to do together? Do they share any hobbies? Does your Rook teach their partner their own hobbies? Does the partner teach Rook theirs?

Az & Emmrich share 2 particularly large hobbies! 1. Reading: I wouldn't necessarily say anyone teaches eachother anything here, but they do start to inform each others reading tastes & habits! Az loves to read, though it's more trashy romance novels & smut than he'd like to admit, so once he kind of "marries" into Emmrich's large library he does start to expand his horizons into some more academic reading, though a good like 80% of his reading is still trashy romance and smut. Emmrich on the other hands, despite being ever the academic, starts to pick up an interest in trashy romance himself after accidentally picking up one of Az's books when tired. He would never admit it out loud but Rook realised pretty quickly when he found one of his favourites hidden in Emmrich's nightstand one night. The pair also often read in silence together while they cuddle, sometimes Emmrich will read to Az and vice versa if one of the men has a particularly hard day. 2. Alchemy: Emmrich definitely goes teacher mode & helps Az delve into this deeper! {Az may also find this incredibly hot and realises he really likes the whole teacher thing on another level than he expected.} Both have a fascination with the hobby, Emmrich of course has way more experience on the subject and once he finds out Rook likes it as well the pair end up getting hyper-fixated on the subject for a little while. Emmrich shows Az a bunch of new preparations / potions / poultices / etc that Rook wasn't familiar with {Az learned from his mother & later one of her old alchemy books}. Az also spends way too many nights pestering Emmrich with a dozen or more questions he's had about why certain alchemy works in certain ways and although Emmrich teases him for it, he adores that they have something they're both so passionate on that they can gush about for days on end. 17. What is your Rook's favorite thing about their partner? What is the partner's favorite thing about Rook?

Az has MANY favourite things about Emmrich, but if you forced him to answer he would probably have 2 very different answers depending on whether it was before or after the Fade Prison. Before: He'd probably say he loved how Emmrich made him feel cared for, safe & wanted for the first time in his life. After: The above is still very true, though a new favourite thing does come out of woodwork and ends up being neck to neck with the above: the way that Emmrich reminds him that there are good people in the world, and that all the bullshit they went through was worth it & that he is always safe with him. Emmrich also has a lot of favourite things about Az, but if he had to answer then his favourite, as he constantly tells Rook is probably how devoted to & considerate he is of Emmrich at all times.

18. When all is said and done, where would they like to retire together? Is marriage in the cards for them? Children? Pets?

Az & Emmrich end up moving in together pretty much immediately after the events of The Veilguard, it's not as if they haven't already been living together for the last like year in the lighthouse to be fair. So, naturally Rook moves into the Necropolis with Emmrich BUT Emmrich also moves into Rook's old home with him. Not the one Rook lived in when he worked for the Shadow Dragons, but the one he used to live in as a child: Rooks parent's died about a year or two before he joins Varric, since he was their only son they left their home to him.

Due to… things, Az couldn't bring himself to move into his parents house until AFTER the events of Veilguard. He needs some comfort and some stability, and after being stuck in the fade for 7 years he's desperate to have something connected to his old life again.

So, Emmrich & Rook kind of live between both of the houses, Rook will tend to his mothers old garden frequently and uses his parents place when he's working particularly long Shadow Dragons missions. Emmrich naturally has the key and visits during these times though. The pair also frequently go up to the home to stay the weekend with Manfred and visit Neve & the rest of the Shadow Dragons.

They definitely get married, about a twoish years after the events of Veilguard, with how busy everything is after the whole almost end of the world. I have a whole thing planned out for this so if you wanna know more about the wedding details just ask! ;3

Children is kind of a hard no, both Emmrich and Az are a bit too married to their respective jobs for that, BUT they do of course see Manfred as their magic flinging skeleton son so I guess the technical answer is 1 very odd child?

Az does manage to convince Emmrich to let him get a dog though, since Rook can actually afford to take care of one now he finally gets that dog that kept barking at him in the middle of Dock Town and names her Hissera - often shortened to Hiss. Hiss often comes with him between the Necropolis, Dock Town & his parents home {when she's not too busy being a felon with Manfred in the Necropolis}.

If you wanna know more about my Rook, feel free to send me an ask! You can also pick something from this particular Ask Game Below!

Ok Doctor Who ramble time after watching the two newest episodes which for reference I did still love and enjoy overall Also spoilers for parts of the episodes

Lets go, ok so I think the one thing i've been finding odd is the reuse of older quotes and shot compositions from older Russel T Davies episodes. Like in this one Ruby talks about how the world didn't end in 1963 which is worded almost exactly to what Martha says in The Shakespears code ('...am I missing something here? The world didn’t end in 1599. It just didn’t. Look at me, I’m living proof.') And the scene in Space Babies in which they stand infront of the large window feels eerily similar in shot composition and location to one of the first shots in Rose's second episode The End of the World, which also has the same scene of having her phone boosted and calling her mum.

Just things I've noticed that are either meant to be intentional call backs or just lazy reusing things that worked last time.

Also smaller gripe as The Beatles are one of my hyper fixation I am still so disappointment how little they are in the episode :( I don't think Ringo even gets a line in and George is just as easily dismissed, both writing some pretty good songs for the band (George writing the one song most people know of the group 'Here comes the sun') also John didn't wear those glasses at the time, like he was deeply insecure about needing glasses which could have also been a thing in the episode if they wanted to use the beatles in the story. It could be an endearing moment of showing their weakness and being able to start to bond to be friends to team up against the monster. They way they should have actually advertised the episode is 'The beatles appear twice and just exist I guess' Maybe the dance number at the end could have worked if the song was like tied to the musicians rather then repeating there's a twist at the end cause it would be cooler if it was a more hidden phrase. THEY COULD HAVE DONE THE SONG TWIST AND SHOUT MY GOD I JUST REALISED- THAT COULD GET ACROSS WHAT THEY WANTED THE SAME WAY AND FEEL MORE SUBTLE CAUSE ITS A SONG THAT ALREADY EXISTS AND JUSTIFIES ITSELF CAUSE THE BEATLES ARE THERE.) Ok i gotta stop typing now.

My apologies for length, doctor who and the beatles are both hyper fixations for me if it wasnt obvious already.
