summer reading/writing/arting tag

Tagged by @hannahcbrown thank you! yippee!

1) Describe one creative WIP you plan on working on over the summer.

Ahhh, trying to narrow down to one work in progress is agonizing but luckily for me I technically don't have to do that! hehe.

My current work in progress, I would then say, are fics focusing on Oblivion (and maybe a few Skyrim!) NPCs that I like or found interesting (or both). The fics are probably not going to be 'connected' themselves but they're all a blast so I'm having fun! Currently picking at several, each involving a different character. Right now those poor souls would be the Jemane brothers, Volanaro (with a side of J'skar), Aurelinwae (with a side of Calindil), and Julienne Fanis (with a side of Raminus-- is this joke getting old yet?).

2) Recommend a book!

I haven't read an actual book in a while but I'm gonna go with something I read in my childhood-- The Goblin Wood, by Hilari Bell.

Makenna is, as far as protagonists go, vengeful. And from what I recall-- resourcefully clever right from the beginning. I remember delighting in watching how she'd go through the book's events; and it's not always that the protagonist captivates me so.

The books are now a trilogy from what I remember but I'd still recommend reading just the first book regardless. Not because I think the other two are bad but because I feel like the first stands on its own fine. (And if you like the first one then you can see about the other two yourself! Huzzah! ^u^)

3) Recommend a fic! 

I wanna recommend Lost and Found, not only because it focuses on Falion as a character but because it features the father-daughter team of Falion and Agni becoming a team!

Who wouldn't love warm fuzzies like that? (Also it doesn't need massive amounts of Elder Scrolls lore knowledge but if you DO know what Falion studies or what he's talking about, it's even better for it.)

4) Recommend music!

House of Sacred Remains from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. (The extended version because if you're like me 3 minutes isn't enough.)

Really though, a lot of the music from that game is stellar. I kind of miss playing Lament of Innocence to be honest. It's the only other Castlevania game I've played, besides Symphony of the Night.

5) Share one piece of advice!

Learn to love yourself. And I don't mean in a jokey or insincere/cold way-- I mean genuinely, with my whole heart and chest. Love yourself. I know sometimes it's hard to for a myriad of reasons, I do get it, but if you can manage to cultivate that inner appreciation for who you are without needing other people to prop you up... you can learn to let go of the past and look forward to who you will be in the future.

It was something I had to learn myself and the way I learned isn't going to be the way you learn, perhaps, but in an age where airbrushing and other celebrity-related media percolates culture I feel it's even more important to remind others that they're not just an empty sum of their faults and flaws.

People make mistakes and people change, that's just going to be people from here till the end of time. You're a person, you're going to make mistakes. And that's perfectly okay.

So please, love yourself.

TAGGING (not a must, do this if you want to!): @solnishka1927 , @redadm1ral , @dibellastan , @julskylyly , @genericswordsmaiden , and anyone else who wants to steal this from me! :D

[gyubakeries]

tiya, my angel!! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ̀ˋ i come to you as a girlie who wants to hear you #yap hehe

which fic/imagine of yours were you proudest of this year? are there any lines/scenes that you've written that you really enjoyed executing?

love love loveee your work, and i want to know which of your stuff you love in equal measure (๑˘ᵕ˘)

hi kae! this is so sweet of u to ask 🥹 and im a yapper so..... get ready for some yapping hahahah (ily)

i couldn't really choose favorites, so i wrote a little about everything i've posted so far! here's my 2024 recap <3

FICS:

one of my most liked fics would be [ opposites | c.sc ] and i truly understand why, because it was comforting to me, even though i was the one who wrote it

im REALLY proud of [ checklist | j.ww ] because i genuinely did not expect to write a blurry dream out into a full fic. im an angst enjoyer till the end, so checklist has to be one of my personal faves.

for the more fluffy content, i have to pick [ 6:25 a.m. | kmg ] because its a really fun and cute read!

redemption. REDEMPTION. mingyu caused it all but im not complaining

SMAUS:

the smaus??? i didn't expect you guys to like it this much, and im so glad you did!! i've got some stuff planned for 2025 and some text imagine reqs to get to so i hope you look forward to it!

my favorite smaus would be the [ texts with vernon ] and [ texts with bf!wonwoo ]

( speaking of reqs, i promise im working on them im just REALLY SLOW. i really appreciate each and every person in my inbox for sending them! thank u <3 )

also . off-duty junhui jdhajhdkshdehejs . inserting smut fics in small font because hehe

SERIES:

the christmas series is my baby. the first one i wrote was the seungcheol one, and the last was vernon's (because i procrastinate alot)

fun fact: the two ending lines for each fic wasnt gonna be there originally. after writing the 2 ending lines for seungcheol, i did the same for the hoshi one, and it just made sense, which is why all the fics in the series end that way! my personal favorite would be jeonghan, wonwoo and joshua's!

REACTIONS:

aaaa the [ ot13 reacting to their kid stealing things from them ] IS A FAVORITE. its one of the few times my brain has kept up with me and helped me write things that i ACTUALLY like.

more reactions coming your way in 2025!

FAVORITE LINES:

☆ "i love you the way you are, and no amount of differences could ever stop me from loving you. even if you were the north pole and i was the south, i'd do everything in my power to be with you, you get that?" - seungcheol, opposites

☆ (when you found him pouting at the 'closed' sign hanging at the door of the bakery because it only opened an hour later, you found yourself wanting to spend every morning you had with mingyu.) - 6:25 a.m.

☆ "you've been by my side through everything, y/n," seungkwan whispers softly, looking into your eyes with nothing but adoration and love. "i can't wait to see you grow and become the brightest star too. i'll be there by your side, just like you've been there for me." - seungkwan, band-aid

☆ "i know. i was an asshole for promising you something i couldn't give to you, but i know i'm going to spend the rest of my life regretting not helping you now," wonwoo argues. && "i'll find you in every other universe, and i'll love you till the end of time," wonwoo looks into your eyes, and this one feels like a real promise. - wonwoo, checklist

☆ "you don't have to worry about it," you tell him. "i've got my own six-foot pole to poke him away with if he ever gets too close." - still get jealous

FAVORITE SCENES:

☆ seungcheol drawing a bath for reader in spa-day

☆ reader bumping into junhui in off-duty

☆ reader and jeonghan going ice-skating on day 2 of the christmas series

☆ reader and minghao making hot chocolate on day 10 of the christmas series

☆ joshua's son stealing his guitar pick and singing sunday morning in ot13 reacting to their kids stealing their things

FUTURE PLANS:

upon hitting 400 followers, i decided to have a small milestone event in 2025! more details will be revealed at the start of the new year 💗

i also have an ot13 series im working on, but its a HUGE wip because the fics are gonna be lengthier than the ones i've put out till now

FrUK Spring Festival 2k17!

Day 1 - Angels and Demons

I had a whole idea about this, being Alice and Marianne, both angel and demon guides of Arthur and Francis respectively, turning them into magical guardians of each side. However, I didn’t have enough time (and strength hehe) to finish a decent plot of it.

If you wanna see the mini comic I made (if I can call it in that way lol) of Alice recluiting Arthur, here it is:

Yes. Arthur definitely didn’t expect this.

P1 - Given how great you're track record's been for doing hypothetical interactions of Amphibia kids with the Duck kids and Owl House kids, let's try doing the Duck kids meeting the Owl House kids and who they'd like the best. I'll exclude Violet for this for the sake of evenening things out 5 to 5. I'd assume Luz would get along best with Dewey (both jump into adventure), King with Louie (could see em teaming up for a scheme), Willow with Huey (eh, more leftover interaction but can work)

Screenshot of second half of the ask provided. Text: P2 Gus with Webby (would totally ask each other lots of questions about their species), and Amity with Lena (both got abusive figures they stood up to and would totally talk about their crushes on Luz and Webby LOL). Would love to see you take on Duck kids and Owl House kids interactions.

First of all I’m very pleased to hear you find my track record on these posts good, they’ve been really fun to write and it makes me really happy people like them! Second I am so sorry it’s taken so long to get to this ask, it’s a really in depth one and it took a long time to write, I hope you’ll find it was worth the wait!

Aight! Oh and one last thing real quick before I get into it. I hope you wouldn’t mind me adding Violet back in, partially due to the fact I love her, but mostly because there’s actually another owl house character I think works significantly better with Louie than anyone else and I really want the chance to talk about that. Saving that one for last hehe. This’ll be another long one, writing below the cut.

Luz and Webby So I do like a lot of the possible interactions brought up by your suggested grouping but my mind went in a few different directions. I’ll start with Luz, who would fit in best with another excitable adventuring partner, as pointed out, but I think the best fit for her in that regard would actually be Webby. While Dewey would no doubt get along great with Luz, there’s a special element to the potential relationship between Luz and Webby that really elevates the potential of their friendship to another level, that being: they both want to eat a hamburger.

An aspect of Webby I wish the later seasons of the show got into a little more, but is definitely something I would consider a core part of her character, is the fact that she got held up in the mansion her whole childhood, with no opportunities to interact with the world around her, have all the adventures she wanted, and most importantly to just be seen as the kid she wanted to be. And while Luz was technically able to go out into the world, the place she found wasn’t one that was willing to see her, or give her any of the chances she longed for. Both Webby and Luz fully understand that feeling of being trapped in your own life, of finally getting the chance to break out and just doing your best to make the most of it. I think there’s a lot the two could gain from spending some time together.

(Also, to borrow the bit about gushing about their crushes but from the other end, these two would totally get sidetracked talking about their respective crushes and also trying to play wingman for each other. It’s a massive comic disaster in both cases, but somehow both Lena and Amity manage to find it endearing).

Amity and Violet Okay wait lemme explain. While the two of them don’t have a whole lot in common at first glance, I think they would genuinely get along extremely well. While a lot of Amity’s focus on school came at the force of her parents, you cannot honestly expect me to believe that girl isn’t a studious nerd on her own anyway. Heck even outside the realm of studies she throws her full dedication into literally every single thing she does. Remind you of anyone? Beyond just being extremely intelligent Violet is clever and ready for anything. She takes everything in stride and always has a plan, she can go from “we were sleeping over and you said everybody get on the plane, so we got on the plane” to “I brought an axe” in a minute flat.

I like to think the two of them would have a mutual respect for each other based on their respective intellects upon first meeting, but as they become closer friends they find they can move from more serious respect to a casual enjoyment of each other. I would go as far as to say that both of these characters really value dependability in a friend, and that they each provide a lot of that. To wrap back around to the stuff about intelligence I think Violet could provide a lot of insight to Amity as far as showing her that pursuing studies and academic heights of her own volition can be something that she can just do because she wants to, and that’s no excuse for unhealthy parental relationships. Getting along so well with someone like Violet only to see that her parents are actually really loving and supportive, that would be really eye-opening for Amity I think. For Violet’s part she could get a lot of help from Amity as far as her pursuit of the secrets of magic goes. I suspect Amity would be much more interested in the study of her magic than Violet would be able to get Lena to tolerate lol.

Bonus Round: Amity would absolutely be a senior junior woodchuck and she would love it you cannot convince me otherwise. She starts quoting the JWGB around the owl house kids and they all look at her like she’s crazy.

Lena and Willow I feel like this one might seem a little out there at first but trust me on this one. Initially Lena doesn’t think too much of Willow, being as close as she is to Webby she knows liking flowers and cute things doesn’t mean Willow is automatically to be taken lightly but she feels like she’s got a good read on her that she generally prefers to avoid trouble and turns down opportunities for violence, which isn’t really Lena’s deal. Over time Lena figures she was right about her first impressions as Willow doesn’t seem to take many opportunities to expose some hidden power, even when Lena knows the people around her kinda deserve it.

She learns to adjust her opinion when she finally does get the chance to see Willow in action and realizes that girl is more powerful than any of the other kids she’s met in the boiling aisles bar none(yes this is my genuine opinion of willow if you don’t think she could kick your ass you’re wrong). It’s at that moment where she starts to pay more attention to Willow and notices a lot more of the strength she puts into all the little things, how much she cares for everyone and everything, and it does a great deal to show Lena that maybe having super strong magic powers isn’t mutually exclusive with being kind and gentle. And maybe gentle isn’t her thing but still, it’s nice to know.

For Willow’s part she’s just happy to make more friends. Especially if the opportunity arises, as I like to think it would, when they’re close enough friends, that Lena would start to hint around asking questions about how Willow remains so casual and nice with the ability to do so much damage, and Willow takes the chance to help Lena figure out her magic a bit more, and learn how to better appreciate it as an aspect of herself she doesn’t have to be scared of. (I mean come on Lena never really learned how to do any of it except barely kind of from Magica of all people she could really  use something like that).

Huey and Gus Now there are some certain things about Gus that would drive Huey absolutely nuts. His lack of primary and reliable sources for any of his information being a big one, but at the end of the day I think he’d enjoy Gus’ desire to learn in the first place. Gus would probably be a little dubious about Huey’s “sources” and “citations” but if it helped him get more info on the human realm he’d certainly go for it in the end. In that way the two balance each other out pretty well. Gus is studious and intelligent but he’s a little off the wall, he’s got a big creative streak, and he’s really excitable. Huey is really really good at facts and analysis but he lacks the strength in imagination that Gus has. Huey is able to take all the grandiose concepts Gus is able to think up and help make them actually happen. Gus has that specific brand of an adventurers soul matched up with the fact he’s not actually the type to get into danger and fights, meaning he’s able to drag Huey out of his comfort zone a little and help him reach new heights with his mind that his struggles with creativity prevent him from reaching, while managing to not make him feel like he’s actually in danger. I actually believe the two of them together could get some really incredible stuff done.

What I’m saying is that with Huey’s help Gus could absolutely complete his tunnels under Hexside.

Dewey and King Now this, this is the pair who would go incredibly well together, at the detriment of literally everyone around them. If there is one person King “I Will Rule Everything” Clawthorne should not be exposed to its Dewey Duck. Within minutes of meeting each other the two of them would immediately have so many bad ideas. Between Dewey’s insistence on being the best and most daring adventurer while putting his name on everything and going down in history & King’s trying to rule everything and everyone, the attempts to raise the stakes would be constant and the two would spend literal hours endlessly trying to one-up each other. All in one day they search for legendary treasure, discover an entirely new civilization, try to take over said civilization, create a new species just to name it after themselves, and build statues of themselves in the middle of Bonesbourough. And that’s all before lunch.

Louie Here it is. The one I waited till the very end for out of sheer excitement. I even kept the second name out of the heading thing. That’s how secretive I’m trying to be about this. See, there’s one character in the owl house that works so well with Louie it’s practically canon. Their interactions have so much potential, they each bring so much to the table, I just couldn’t Not talk about it. And yeah, I know this ask was specifically asking about the owl house and ducktales kids, but I just couldn’t resist talking about the relationship between Louie and Eda.

A con artist from another world who was so successful she became nationally famous? There’s no way Louie would pass up an opportunity like that. For his part I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already managed to set up another underworld identity in the boiling aisles, or at the very least that Eda could totally have been to the ducktales realm and heard of his one there.

Either way I’m convinced the two of them would start planning a heist as soon as they figure out who each other are. Eda is a little prideful and wants to show this kid he can’t out-con her, but Louie knows what he’s doing just as much. Honestly with the two of them combined Eda wouldn’t have to worry about losing her stand for a long time. Over the course of their planning and seeing Louie in action Eda begrudgingly gains some respect for the  kid, and while Louie was definitely just using her as a learning/profit opportunity at first, he’s pretty susceptible to getting attached.

For Louie, it’s the fact that she actually respects him for being good at what he does. Even back with his family who all love and care about him and all that he still feels like most of them don’t really get what he does or see what’s special about him, so having someone who made a whole life of it be even a little proud of him feels really nice.

And of course, at the end of their heist when they finally have the money in hand, and Eda just casually hands over his half, he stares at her like she’s crazy.

“You’re just.. Giving it to me?!”

“Well, yeah. That was the deal wasn’t it kid? I mean if you really want I definitely have a few ideas for it.”

“No! Uh, no, thanks, I’ll keep it. It’s just that you really remind me of someone, I guess I was expecting something else.”

[coderealizeheadcanons]

Yaaaay, it's open! I kinda have two questions hehe. First, I'd like to know how you amazing mods are : 3 I hope you're doing well~! Anyways, my ask is how would each character want their day of relaxation to be like, and where? Thank you! ^^

It’s Mod S! 

Mod Cheshire and I are doing just fine, we appreciate the kindness.

I can do this headcanon for ya: What The Code: Realize Guys Do to Relax! Please let us know if there’s anything more we can do with this. ^_^

Arséne Lupin: Since Lupin doesn’t want to be seen too much in public, he prefers to relax in a quiet place. A private field having a picnic with Cardia really helps him unwind. Afterword, the two of them would wait till dark and take a romantic walk by the river, relaxing under the lights of the city. 

Abraham Van Helsing: Van enjoys going out and doing fun things on his off days, so you’ll likely finding him dragging Cardia along shopping and eating lunch at quiet cafés. Once that’s finished, he and Cardia go home to make dinner together (though Cardia tries to do the actual cooking herself). 

Impey Barbicane: When Impey decides to take a break from his cannon building, he takes Cardia for a fun sky date in the Ornithopter. He enjoys just taking in the scenery and talking to Cardia. They end the day at home with something Impey’s cooked, though Impey does try to put the moves on her. 

Victor Frankenstein: Victor likes to relax by just having a nice day at home where he can do simple household chores. He does laundry and scrubbing with Cardia, and he always takes her out to the courtyard for lunch. They play fun card games in the evening and talk about their future at the same time. 

Saint Germain: To relax, Saint Germain likes going to the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves. He and Cardia will stay there all day enjoying the atmosphere. At night, they’ll retire back home to drink wine together. And the two will read a book together out loud full of suspense and romance. 

Bonus: Herlock Sholmes: Sholmes does not relax often as he is a workaholic, but when he does, he prefers to curl up by a fireplace with a good book and a hot cup of tea. If Cardia is around, he’ll pull her in by the fire with a blanket and tell her stories of the criminals he’s run into an the cases he’s solved.
