#I'm rambling a bit but whatever LOL

[angst-and-fajitas]

You 🤝 me

Read eragon (👀 I'm very interested tho is there any other characters you liked?)

I know I really liked Nasuada too, I remember the trial of long knives and also that bit where she figures out she can make money for the varden by making lace with magic as being such great moments to show her resourcefulness and determination as a leader despite how young and overwhelmed she was with her position

I also really loved the dwarves and the scenes in farthen dur, their culture always was super interesting-- while paolini's elves were pretty much straight from Tolkien, it felt like his dwarves were much more his own, and things like the star sapphire and their pantheon of gods really interested me. And of course I loved the DRAGONS, because Saphira was always a fun character with a good sense of humor, but also what ten year old isn't totally obsessed with dragons LOL. I also liked Oromis, I think he was a lot of the inspiration behind Icellus actually. Oh, and Elva was really interesting!! Just a really good example of an author giving their heroes lasting, nasty consequences for even innocent mistakes. And as a kid, I also remember being kinda obsessed with the menoa tree, I don't think it really counts as a character but WHAT a tasty concept

Some fantasy traveler inventory details (like what they would carry in their bags), based on two of the recent costumes I did.. love finding random little scraps and items and putting them together lol

No, but, Stede's confidence in their relationship. From the moment of "His name is Ed", he knows they are meant to be and he's always acting on it and saying it. Of course Ed is his boyfriend! But the intersection of this confidence and surety for what he's feeling with this utmost respect for Ed's feelings and boundaries. He can't stop his enthusiasm, his love, but whenever he bounds ahead with an "I love everything about you", with initiating hand holding or deepening a kiss or with putting a name to the relationship, he is always so immediately ready to stop and check in that this is what Ed is comfortable with as well. Neither of them ever were in a healthy, consensual relationship before, and Stede's reaction to finally being able to have that is to ask for consent every step of the way. Nobody ever asked him, and nobody ever let him ask, so now he's asking away all the time, and it makes Ed feel so safe and loved I bet.

I'm wondering if writing more self-indulgent fics would help me a bit..

[shopwitchvamp]

Ahhh I hate how after I've already finished the reading, I'm thinking of 100 things I could've said more concisely, coherently, or just plain better. The struggle of anxiety/ADHD scatterbrain is real. However! I will not let my perfectionistic nature stop me, and I'll try to cut myself some slack.. like this was only my second ever recorded reading! Gotta simply believe that it'll all get easier and flow better with practice, and there's no way to get that practice other than to do it at the level accessible to me right now 😌

I said the other day that she's my favourite and here is my proof, have a pony picture as thanks for enjoying my niche feeling interests alongside me 😌😌💜💜

Isn't she beautiful-

Pleeeeease tell me about the time travel jonsasha fic. I'm assuming it's jon who goes back in time? From where, end of s5? 👀👀👀 Is it preestablished js, or canon compliant until the time travel? Are they going to try to kill elias......

Alright. So. This answer doesn't need to have context but I'm going to provide anyway, so buckle up for several paragraphs of rambling. Under a cut for length.

Anyway so last year I made this post. It's not required reading but it is relevant. Basically, in my first six months(?) or so in the fandom, when I was big into jm, I read a buncha time travel fix-its. I've sorta moved away from them (heads up this fic will NOT be a fix-it) but at the time I really enjoyed them.

(To clarify, nothing wrong with liking time travel fix-its or not wanting to touch the implications. Time travel identity theft isn't real and we're all here to have a good time. If that's your jam you do you)

Now. The Thing With Time-Travel Fix-Its is that there's going to be a past version and a future version of your intrepid time-travelers and you're going to have to Deal With That, and a common method of Dealing With That is the time travelers waking up in their past bodies. Pretty normal, not unusual, dodges some complicated tangles re: having two versions of certain characters floating around, a perfectly understandable choice that nontheless carries Implications.

Namely: what does it mean to take the place of your past self? For you? For them? For the person they could be? For the people around you (who may as well be interacting with a stranger)? Is that really you? Are you really them? Could overwriting your past self count as murder/identity theft/Bad?

And I thought about it. And I thought about it. And I thought about it. And then I got super into jonsasha dual archivists AUs.

Okay. Context over. We can (finally) talk about the fic.

So, I am a simple creature and Jon is my darling beloved. So I didn't want to just kill him off before the fic even begins (although. hmmm. tempting, actually). But i did need him replaced by s5 Jon. So. What if he was just... displaced? Shoved out of his own body by an imposter? A ghost invisible to all? Alone? Afraid? Watching his friends interacting with an unknown but possibly malicious entity? And thus, the Time Travel Nonsense AU was born!

So there's no outline and it hasn't had a lot of Rotation Time in awhile, but I do have a series of loosely connected Ideas down so you can have those.

Something else is living in S1 Jon's body. He doesn't know what it is, or what's happening to him. He can't really interact with his surroundings, either. Can't be seen, can't speak to anyone, can't do anything but watch. Even the thing puppeting his body doesn't seem to know he's there. And it behaves... strangely. It has some of his mannerisms, and it acts like him, but a little to the left. It's uncanny, watching something that is him-but-not-him like that... and it's lonely.

(S5 Jon is going to be an "it" because S1 Jon is perceiving S5 Jon as a monster/creature (although I do believe in it/its Jon supremacy, to be clear)).

He tries to figure things out on his own. Tries to signal for help. Tries to take his body back. Tries to speak to the new occupant. Nothing.

The fic initially opens with a transcript of his statement regarding the experience. It's technically for everyone but it's addressed to Sasha specifically. I don't know what happens with it after though.

At some point, he does manage to make contact with Elias. It's So Weird how only his boss can see him, but it's something at least. Especially because he's so goddamned lonely.

He's a ghost at his own job and in his own house. He hasn't spoken to anyone in weeks. The others think his replacement is behaving a little oddly but seem to be getting along better with it than they ever did with him. It's revealing things about him as if it was him. It feels horribly invasive, and lonely, and frightening, and awful. His only source of comfort is Elias, and they start a sort of weird situationship sorta thing. It's a good thing Elias is so helpful and trustworthy huh?

Maybe Sasha finds the tape. Maybe she just thinks Jon is acting Weird. Either way, she gets to snooping and is drawn closer to the Eye.

Elias, meanwhile, is trying to get Jon marked, and closer to being the Archivist, and back in his body, AND trying to figure out what it was that replaced Jon. Jon is trying to do the last two. Idk what s5 Jon is doing. Maybe finding ways to break whatever binding will cause Elias' death to hurt other institute employees?

Anyway, after a certain point, Sasha is connected enough to the Eye (and Looking hard enough) that she can see S1 Jon, and they start working together too. Maybe they try to keep it secret from Elias? Idk.

S1 Jon will get his body back, and S5 Jon is eldritch enough to probably not need one.

Ok honestly by this point things are reaaaaally vague if I'm being real. So, lightning round:

The JE situationship breaks off due to Elias'... everything really (I mean, once its revealed that he's evil and sinister and stuff).

Jonsasha's misadventures trying to get Jon's body back result in them racking up marks.

Sooooo much of this is me being enamoured w/ outsider PoV... time travel but from the perspective of someone who ain't travelling. Another important aspect is S5 Jon trying desperately to fix things but failing because the whole project is Doomed and he is being sabotaged from the start by an invisible force (himself).

Also S1 Jon accidentally making things worse for himself because all the information available and his general situation push him to do so.

Sasha survives the Not!Them (obviously) (how? good question!!)

Jon and Sasha have a weird complicated Thing. Their research into S5 Jon sort of separates her from the others and they kinda become drawn into their relationship and stuff. Also from the whole "same master same monster" situation they got going on.

There's going to be a short tape transcript of Jon telling Sasha about his situationship with Elias. Idk if I'llbe able to indicate it over audio transcript but they are both sitting on the floor or cot or whatever and Jon's head is on her lap.

Jonsasha are t4t and autism4autism.

I have a really specific image in my head of them running out the institute's front doors while holding hands, very near the end of the fic.

They do run off somewhere (maybe Scotland still idk) and they do read the 160 statement. Together <3.

And yeah that's everything. Got vague and floaty near the end there but to answer your questions: yes, yes, canon-compliant until time travel, and maybe at some point idk.

[sheepkebby]

We put your boyfriend in the fandom and they smolfied him beyond belief. Yeah sorry. They took out all his badass/masculine traits and turned him into a helpless precious baby boy. Yeah, they don't care that he has visible biceps. They're calling him cute and tiny. Yeah they're kinda infantilizing him. Yes I know he's a grown man. I dunno what to tell you dude. Sorry.

[violetsareblue-selfships]

good morning!! <33

[fnafawoundleftbleedingau]

Huh, well, I actually managed to get those two extra Remnant's chapters done. (aside from minor edits and such I do shortly before posting) They're certainly not the longest chapters in the set, but I think they do their jobs well enough, so, I'm content enough with em. Still takin' that break in June though, but, 2 extra chapters of Remnants than there was gonna be initially!

[fried-trash]

I think going onto Monster Hunter twt/reddit was a mistake because the amount of hate for the handler is insane, especially when I see people say she's "ugly" to justify it. Have the monster hunter players that hate her for her appearance just never seen a woman before in their life?

god forbid women in games look like normal people instead of hornybait waifu material.

[xluxsolarisx]

clawing at the edge of my enclosure at you..,, auuaAA auuaaghrvf asuugh aahbgsffdhnrd. you know how it is

raps at the glass of your enclosure despite warning signs saying not to because i want to see what will happen. because i am fundamentally curious. anyway yeah i do know how it is

[astrxealis]

okay rambles but i started creatively writing in like ... 5th grade? and. oh god just a little encouragement to anyone looking to get into writing or insecure or whatnot, but HELLS, maybe it's to he expected with my (obviously) very young age and inexperience with writing then, but my writing was really. yeah. Yeah. but then i'm what... a lot older now, obviously, and my writing has gotten leagues better. i'm probably not a good example for this bcs childhood years development stuff are different etc etc BUT practicing writing more and whatnot really does go a long way :]

[corpus-chorus]

Not to be *that* person, and you honestly don't have to answer this ask if you don't want to. But I have read both fics from "this world has too much noise" like twice in two weeks and I need to know if you have even scraps for this series laying around. I am dying for it. I love you and I love the fics. I just want the words liquefied and shot directly into my brain. I hope you are well. Thanks for reading this. Love you ☆

Y'all are enabling me way too hard. Ignore the fact that it's working. Ignore the fact that I wrote on it for the first time since I posted the last chapter. This enablement will lead to terrible things, mark my words.

I do in fact have a couple of snippets, plus 12k worth of notes, but that's all spoilers (or wouldn't make sense without context), so instead you're getting a sneak peak of the bit I wrote for the next chapter.

"What's with the sin talk anyway?" Anti asked as he crossed his feet at the ankles, heel resting on the old coffee table. "Dunno," Marvin shrugged, watching the steam rise from his cup. "Shower thoughts." "Shower thoughts," Anti repeated, grinning into his own tea. "And what other riveting thoughts hit you in the shower?" "How would you describe what's going on between you and Dark?" Anti stopped, his mug hovering a scant few centimeters from his lips, before he pulled it away and frowned. "I dunno if I like the idea of you thinking about us in the shower, Mav."

ok very interesting quest in hsr
