hi can i have one about fuyuhiko and/or hajime catching feelings :>

FUYUHIKO & HAJIME CATCHING FEELINGS:

I hardly ever write for Fuyuhiko, so I’m really really hoping I did alright!! Have a wonderful day, thank you again!!

✧FUYUHIKO KUZURYUU:✧

♡ Well, shit…

♡ All you did was make an effort for his birthday once again.

♡ And an effort for texting him, and an effort to be patient with him for all these years, and an effort to keep in contact, and an effort to make him a friend…

♡ Oh, oh dear…

♡ Maybe there was a lot more that you did, things that he’d always appreciated deep down in that stubborn little heart of his, but things he’d only just started connecting to the feelings in his chest.

♡ He didn’t know what to do.

♡ Fuyuhiko knew for some time that there was something going on regarding his feelings towards you, but today had only solidified it.

♡ And he did not know what to do from there.

♡ Well, he knew what to do, he wasn’t stupid, but he didn’t know when, or how or even…

♡ Or even if you’d want to hear it.

♡ Definitely paced around his room trying to process it all, swearing every so often under his breath.

♡ Fuyuhiko had become a very loyal friend to you, and he knew you knew that, but he hadn’t really properly seen you in quite some time. Obviously, within the year, he had, he could never want to stop seeing you entirely, but he hadn’t seen much of you over the past few months.

♡ Texting was more your thing, with him being busy within the yakuza, and you embracing the life you’d built for yourself, it was hard to find time physically. You both graduated two years ago and life was becoming very hectic.

♡ After all, you were both young adults now, time was more limited than before.

♡ Still, Fuyuhiko had thought of you dearly for years now. You were annoying at first, so very annoying, what with your stubborn patience and constant pestering.

♡ But, he grew to love that pestering. It just surprised him that someone could be so attached to a person they hardly knew, so eager to befriend, determined to check in, and he didn’t know what to make of it.

♡ Looking back now, he supposed he could have said thank you, rather than swear and huff at you the way he did.

♡ But, it’s not like he was too aggressive, was it? Because, you kept coming back, and you waiting for him to let you in.

♡ It helped that you were close to Peko too, she was like a sister to you, and that seemed to bring Fuyuhiko some sort of comfort at the time. It was nice to know Peko had a friend like you, nice to see her so happy.

♡ Peko didn't let her guard down around many people, and she especially didn’t during Hope’s Peak. She spent all of her time with Fuyuhiko, but then you came along and devoted so much time for her, made an effort for her, and then extended that effort to him.

♡ Neither of them understood it, but Fuyuhiko especially didn’t. Shouldn’t you have been intimidated? Shouldn’t you have been hesitant? Surely, his aggression should have put you off?

♡ For a little while, it seemed to have done so, but even then you still kept showing grace and love and everything friendly.

♡ His heart managed to warm up to you over the years, gradually making him appreciate your presence more and more.

♡ Once he makes the realisation, he’s pretty easily accepting of it.

♡ He just doesn’t know what to do next.

♡ He knows he’s got to say it sometime, he’s bound to, but he just doesn’t know when would be appropriate; or if it’s even a good idea. Did he really, genuinely, want to rope you into his lifestyle?

♡ He knew you knew what his life was like, you always had, but something about it becoming something unavoidable…frightened him.

♡ Fuyuhiko definitely finds it difficult to revert back to his usual behaviours with you now that he’s aware of his feelings for you.

♡ He finds it very hard to keep his blood pressure under control around you. Give him any frequent form of attention, any form of praise, any genuine interest in him as individual, even just look at him, and soon enough he’ll feel his face warming up.

♡ Eye contact becomes very difficult for him to maintain. While Fuyuhiko’s usually able to maintain eye contact no matter the circumstance, something about looking at you now seems almost impossible. He tries, he really does, because truthfully you’re so perfect he wants to keep looking, but he can’t.

♡ He can literally feel his eyes wobble as he begins to lose focus and, disguised with a nonchalantly stubborn huff, turns away.

♡ He doesn’t want to let his guard down, he doesn’t want to look stupid.

♡ Definitely gets goosebumps, and the shivers.

♡ His whole body tenses up whenever he sees you, a sudden heaviness latching onto his chest.

♡ His whole brain gets fuzzy and, although you’d never know, he’s actively fighting for his dignity the more and more he talks to you. He’s trying so hard not to stutter, so hard not to choke on his words, so hard not to look like an idiot, so hard not to be seen as weak.

♡ So hard not to give himself away…

♡ Probably becomes more protective of you than he was before. He’s not like obsessive with it, that would be silly, but he just feels this strong calling to ensure you’re safe and that you know he’s always going to be in your life.

♡ If he knew another guy was taking interest in you, he has an interesting way of handling his emotions surrounding it.

♡ He’d get internally jealous for a moment, a little angry, before then letting it go and trying to keep his cool. He’d probably get disappointed by it in his own time, realising that there was no guarantee you’d ever even return his feelings.

♡ If he ever thought you were taking interest in someone else, he’d be really mature about it and very chill, but inside he’d be devastated.

♡ Absolutely paces around his room trying to figure out what is going on with him.

♡ Peko will clock that something is the matter, but Fuyuhiko will probably deny it for a period of time.

♡ Eventually, he’ll tell her, and it’s an incredibly hard thing for him to do, even if he trusts her so.

♡ I feel like Peko would be really good at helping to reassure and calm him about the whole situation.

♡ I feel like Fuyuhiko would get dizzy spells as a result of his feelings. He’s letting himself spiral internally rather than physically cope with it, so his body is very very very confused.

♡ He’s not used to feeling as vulnerable as he is with you, and it isn’t even your fault.

♡ You’re just so special to him, he would do anything to see you smile, even if he wouldn’t admit it.

♡ Has definitely Googled advice on how to confess, but would immediately delete his search history the minute he was done gathering information.

♡ Nobody needs to know.

✧HAJIME HINATA:✧

♡ Hajime was very oblivious to it at first, unaware that the oxygen he lost whenever he saw you, unaware that the thundering sensation in his chest, unaware that his desire to talk to you was anything more than platonic fondness.

♡ His friends definitely clocked onto it faster than he did and, when they helped him connect the dots, he was very much in denial.

♡ “So, you forget to breathe, you can’t sleep, your heart feels heavy and you constantly gravitate towards them,” Chiaki repeated, looking over to Kazuichi expectantly.

♡ He looked at her for a minute, puzzled, before getting the hint.

♡ “Right, you realise all of that and…” he pauses, tilting his head, “That doesn’t sound slightly not friendly to you?”

♡ “Not friendly…?” Hajime mumbled back, confused.

♡ “Platonic,” Chiaki bluntly answered, “He means not platonic.”

♡ “Yeah, that.” Kazuichi grumbled, shrugging it off.

♡ When he figured it out, the denial set in.

♡ “Oh, no no…I just think they’re cool.”

♡ …

♡ Oh no.

♡ They were right.

♡ Now that he thought about it, he had been more drawn to you as of the past few months.

♡ He often had a strong urge to be around you, but he wasn’t bold enough to be obvious with it.

♡ He’d kind of just linger around you, not exactly being all that different, but being completely different all that once.

♡ Very straight-forward in terms of the affects of catching feelings.

♡ I mean, now that he thinks about it, it’s obvious.

♡ Do friends really crave company the way he does about yours?

♡ He has definitely taken long showers to contemplate everything.

♡ He just wants to hold you close, just wants to never leave your side.

♡ Absolutely loses his train of thought when he’s around you.

♡ Talks as if he’s running out of breath a lot more around you.

♡ Has no idea what to do with himself.

♡ Has the most DUMBEST smile whenever he thinks about you or sees you happy.

♡ Gets the nervous sweats, if he’s around you too long he will grow all hot and sweaty and unsure of himself.

♡ Bless him, he throws a pillow over his face every night to try and get you out of his head.

♡ Always wonders what you’re doing. It’ll be a random time of day and he’ll be wondering what you’re up to.

♡ Very shakey around you.

♡ He is definitely one to tremble, usually on a day where his emotions about you are particularly high.

♡ Does that thing where he glances at you, looks away, looks at you again, over and over.

Dusk 2 of 5

Notes:

Admittedly, I started writing this a while before mastermind came out, and I’m surprised at how many details of leviathan I got right, (especially of the serpent head)

Her strength abound in flames of might,

Of this I am sure.

Her sword and sword and shield lay by my side.

They lay here forevermore…

Her words of wit and words of kind, 

Rock me to my core. 

Her boundless love is true and steep 

And is forevermore… 

Her loving eyes are soft and clear 

That look I do adore. 

When she looks at me, I’m her one and only 

And I am forevermore… 

Her loyal acts hold me safe and loved  

Apart, we’ll never be tore. 

She’s mine to keep and mine to hold 

And she will be forevermore… 

She just laid there on the ground reciting the poem he wrote for her in her head and continuously watching the other angels falling. 

“Royal blue: there goes Ozzie; Vermillion: Sat; Lime green: And there’s Mam; Burgundy? Paimon? I didn’t think you would have it in you���; Silver: Beleth, unsurprising; Woah…” She looked up to the heavens to see a great purple comet soaring across the sky; falling not from heaven but just adjacent to it… from earth.

“Levi…?” She pulled herself up onto her feet (despite the fact that every second she put pressure on them it felt like she was walking across broken glass, rusty nails, and legos), and she stalked towards the poor creature who’d fallen from the sky. 

Levi was an ill tempered creature but one she loved dearly. Levi was once able to roam the ocean and there were many times Luci would take her surfing on Levi’s back. She had grown an appreciation for him. She feared what might have happened to him now.

“LEVI!!” She called out. “HANG ON FOR ME! I'M COMING FOR YOU LEVI!!” Every cry pierced through the air. Since the fall she had regained some magic that had left her, but it was strange… it was different. It wasn’t nearly enough to heal her to her old self but maybe… maybe it could heal Levi. She saw him wounded, bleeding out from his right side. Something in her snapped and she ran to him despite the pain that she knew she would feel. It didn’t matter in that moment. She just needed to get to him. His mate, Peony, was curled around him trying to stop the bleeding.

The poor beast whimpered as she placed her hands on his wound and pushed him onto his back. She bit her lip to stop her screams of pain as she planted herself on the ground to fully push Levi onto his back. She feared that she might never walk again, and without her wings to get around what would she do? She would be better off dead at that point.

“Shh… I’m here Levi.” She knelt at his side. She started to pour everything she had into Levi. Her hands turned as black as ink, something that frightened her to her core. Her magic… it’s like it was being corrupted or something!

Instead of healing him his form started to shift. He shrunk from a giant water serpent to a more humaniod figure. His mate fused herself into him causing them to become more of a feminine hermaphrodite. They still had fish-like features. Namely a long fin that flopped to one side of Levi’s serpent head like hair. His skin was a dark purple and… admittedly rather slimy. His mate on the other hand had White skin and the same fin hair. They were undressed (Obviously, fish doesn’t normally wear clothes), so the Gester ripped her skirt and tied it around their waist like a loin cloth. As they covered their new bosom.

“What… What are you doing?” The serpent head’s new voice was raspy. The words felt foreign to all of them but she quickly recovered.

“I’m saving you.” She responded frantically. I had to look for something to save him… I… have… to… 

She fell next to them with a thud. She barely heard what he said against the ringing of her ears. Was this how she’d go out? Living her life as a servant for others? No. No one could take this moment from her. It was her moment, her choice. This was her first act of free will. 

She barely remembers what happened next. All she could seem to recall was a cold metallic taste passing her lips and flowing down her throat. The next thing she knew she was at some place under a great big body of water.

“Where am I?” She tried to sit up but Levi- (no um, Levi and Peony… Levy?) emerged from the shadows to hold her down on the bed. 

“Shh… you’re safe now. Just get some rest.” Levi calmed her down and placed her back on a stone slab covered in seaweed. Out of the two of them it seemed like Levi was the only one who wanted to talk to her.

“Levi? How long have I been out?” She asked raspily. Her head was killing her.

“About 2… years.” He responded sheepishly.

“WHAT?!” She started to panic.

“Yeah. I’m surprised you’re still alive. I’m surprised I’m still alive.”

“What… happened?” She rubbed her head trying to remember anything.

“It’s a long and complicated story…”

…

Lucifer smiled and gathered all of his general around the slab of debris they were using as a makeshift table. “Okay everyone!” He started in his usual chipper tone, though they all knew it was fake. “I know that things are a bit hectic, and our situation isn’t ideal… but I appreciate all of your support… so to show my gratitude I am willing to give each of you a ring.”

“Aren’t you already married?” Mammon asked. Everyone stared at him like, “wtf are you dumb?”

“…of hell mam. Okay so I’ll take the top ring because it’s red and right under heaven. I want them to look at me and be reminded of their mistakes.” Lucifer glanced up at the glowing,  ringed orb hanging above them.

Satan slammed his hands on the table. “YOU BITCH I WANTED RED!! Fine, I call dibs on Orange then cause it’s the closest thing.” He crossed his arms and huffed.

Mammon waved his arm around like a small child raising their hand. “I get green! I’m all about those fat stacks of green.”

Asmodeus interject before Leviathan could. “Could I get Blue? Is that okay with you Levi?”

Leviathan clenched his fists. “…oh yeah fine. I’m… fine… with purple. But I get a beach and I’m not sharing with anyone.” Levi crossed his arms and turned away.

Mammon objected. “Wait, no! Fuck you! I want a beach!”

“No! Fuck you beaches are my thing!!” Leviathan protested.

Mammon scoffed. “You can’t gate-keep beaches!”

“I’m literally a fish and the sin of Envy! I’ll gate-keep whatever I want.” Leviathan retorted.

Beelzebub tried to diffuse the situation. “Guys let’s stop fighting! Levi, how about we give Mammon a small beach and you get a whole ocean.”

Leviathan begrudgingly accepted “…fine. But step off my shit Mammon!” Mammon blew a raspberry in retaliation.

Beelzebub sighed in relief now that that was over. “Okay so I’ll take Yellow! It’s just giving me such good energy!” She twirled.

“Is that it?” Mammon asked, in a bored tone.

Satan shrugged. “I think so.”

“Wait! What about Belphegor?” Asmodeus protested.

Beelzebub concurred. “Yeah! We can’t just leave Belphy here!”

Everyone looked around for Belphegor. Lucifer finally had the idea to ask, “Uh, where is-”

Belphegor’s snores from under the debris table caught everyone off guard.

Lucifer moved the rubble and shook her. “Bel. Belphy! BELPHEGOR!!”

Belphegor, startled by the noise, flailed her limbs as she awoke. “Ah! What…” her voice was sleepy.

Lucifer sighed as pinched the bridge of his nose. “You get the bottom ring of hell.”

Belphegor smiled sleepily. “…yay…” she then curled up like a cat again.

Lucifer smiled. “Alright everyone! I think we’re done here! Meeting adjourned!”

…

“So… he doesn’t care about me?” Her eyes filled with tears and the horrifying realization. “He didn’t even mention me? …A-and him and Lilith are already married?”

Levi looks away. “...I’m sorry.”

“...It’s fine!” She wiped her tears away and forced a smile on his face. “They won’t be together for too long. She’s little more than another mistake I’ll have to fix.”

Levi looked at her skeptically. He knew that even she didn’t fully believe her words. “Are you sure? They looked pretty in love at the meeting.”

She scoffs. “Oh I’m sure he loves her now. But that’s it. She’s just a phase. Him and I have history. He’ll see that I’ve been loyal and trustworthy and devoted! But her? She gave up her duty at the first sign something didn’t go her way!”

“Uh huh.”

“Trust me Levi. If she was willing to leave her first husband there’s no reason to worry that she’ll be sticking around Lucifer all that long.” She smiles smuggly. “Actually… could I ask you a question? How did I survive? I remember a metallic taste but then it’s blank.”

“I had to give you some of my blood from my right side.” He told you sheepishly. Long story short… You spent the rest of the day sick in the bathroom.

…

The days turned into weeks; the weeks turned into months; the months turned into years; and the years turned into several decades. Nevertheless he still held hope in her heart that someday Luci would see the error of his ways, kick Lilith to the curb, and come find her. She knew that it was selfish but she just couldn’t bear the thought of him being with her. Why should she get to kiss his sweet lips, or hold his soft hands or feel his small and tender body wrapped around hers at night? 

Lilith would never appreciate him the way I would. She thought to herself as she finally took flight again for the first time in 50 years. Why isn’t he here? He should be the one helping me fly again. Not them… Not Levy.  

She loved Levy, don't get her wrong, but their pressence, she feared, was rubbing off on her. Thoughts of Lilith have always hurt, but she’s never been so outwardly mean. She needed to get away from them. At least for a little while. She could also sense that they wanted to be alone to adjust to being in their new body. They had been so kind to her for the fast five decades as to help rehabilitate her to get her back to standing and eventually now flying. The three of them were like a family… but she needed to repay them by letting them be alone. It hurt them to see her go but they understood. She wandered through the other 6 rings for what seemed like eons. 

Belphy’s ring, sloth, left her alone due to all the people there being so far gone that they could hardly recognize her much less form coherent memories of her. It also didn’t quite help that she couldn’t exactly talk to Belphegor as her schedule was always hectic as she had no idea when she would be awake or asleep. This caused Belphy to unintentionally bail on all of their hangouts. However, the ring itself was beautiful (she wouldn’t have spent 8 centuries there if it wasn’t) and she definitely wouldn’t mind moving there if she found someone to accompany her.

Next she headed up to Ozzie’s ring, where she spent about 2 centuries. It was disgusting! The sky was so dark that there had to be artificial lights everywhere! It was either too dark or too blindingly bright. Not to mention the people… they were all constantly on top of and or inside of each other… As for the big man of the hour Ozzie himself, he was constantly surrounded by a harem of men, Women, and even some inbetween. He had someone new constantly hanging off his arm or fiddling with his clothes every time Ozzie and her would hang out! She neer got a moment alone with him.

There was one notable thing that sticks out to her about that ring though. It’s what she told Ozzie as she left. “You cannot find happiness through physical intimacy. Only through genuine emotional connection will you find inner peace.”

With that bridge burnt she moved on to Beelzebub’s ring. She definitely hated this one the most. Whereas the other rings like Mammon’s, and Satan’s rings did little to hide the suffering their sins brought to them, Bee’s was like a mix of the rest. Loud and vile like Ozzie’s, empty and without meaningful connection like Belphy’s, and Bee’s desires overshadowed the needs and suffering of her people. Even though she spent the most time there (1 millennium) than any other ring, (not counting Envy because her wonderful Levy was there) she was only there so long as to drown out her sorrows in the honey and refuge Bee gave her.

Levy eventually got a hold of her and brought her back to their home in the deep darkness of the ocean they called a home. She spent a little over 3 millenniums just getting her back to where she used to be. She would have loved to stay in Levy’s ring but it was a dark pit at the bottom of an ocean. She needed to breath air, unfortunately.

She then moved on to the Wrath ring. She spent less than a decade in that monstrosity. People were constantly fighting. Everyone was horrible to each other. And things were constantly catching on fire! Not to mention that she couldn’t stand Satan talking shit about Lucifer. And finally she spent 9 decades laying low in greed. It was a wasteland, a pile of sewage and filth and death but Mammon didn’t know she was there. People were constantly lying to her and trying to scam her but at least they were (semi)good sports about it when they were called out for it. She finally Left when Mammon found out she was there and wouldn’t stop hitting on her despite the fact that he was not actually into her. Finally she spent the next 9 centuries bouncing from one circle of the Pride ring to the next. She became something akin to a cryptid. She was known as The Shadow. It was a nice. People would leave food out to appease her. She got to hear funny legends and bedtime stories being passed around about “The Shadow eating children who didn’t listen to their parents.” And even some Good Samaritans would let her stay under their roof for a few days.  It was a good, humble life. One she quite enjoyed. Until one day she was given a letter with the royal seal. She had no idea how they found her but she quickly found out why. Lucifer had sent her a letter. She quickly raced to the palace. All her doubts washing away. Thousands of years being apart crumbling at the hands of the saccharin words on that scroll. 

After all those years he called her back into his life. He wanted to see her. 

He does love me! 

But what she saw would forever rock her world. A small angelic little baby sleeping sweetly in a bassinet. She looked exactly like him. Except for her eyes. Her eyes… were Lilith's…

EleVeN!11!!1! (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10½)

Fuzzy Edgar forever. I don’t remember the context now, maybe there wasn’t any to begin with haha, he’s just so cute with slightly longer hair! And upset :)

Some Diaryfic snuggles ♥ Scriabin can be so sweet to him at the worst time ah, I love Edgar’s hard on his arm and Scriabin’s pulling his hair out of his injured eye 💕

While I was very inspired by the Red Flags meme going around (we’ll get there), I was just as inspired by Mixed Messages - this exchange is so silly and them to me. He’s just trying to flirt back, you don’t have to make it harder! That’s just what Scriabin does haha

🥐 🖕 D:’

What else did you expect Scriabin to do with texting capabilities?? I’m still very enamoured with the thought of Scriabin using emojis and Edgar using emoticons - they are sort of different generations!

Here’s the Red Flags! So gd catchy, damn lol. I was specifically inspired by the X is on a date with themself edits, it was so tempting to consider a Ladyverse version as well haha. Edgar’s uncomfortable smiles were so incredibly fun hehe ♪

Y’see because with that many eyes- you get it

Edgar’s little “Or do I??” makes me laugh haha, anything to get out of this situation!

Waiter Jake ❤️💕💖💞💗 Rescue him!

Very inspired by this one specifically, he’s totally innocent! Not offputting at all! ♥

Alright well good luck with that bye. I love Edgar being menaced into continuing this date hehe ♫

Scriabin just keeping on the pressure for this date to keep going! Slight neg in “Couldn’t you have dressed up a little nicer though? ✨” pft

Brief aside with Scriabin!Edgar out drinking with my OC Mint who has very openly had a crush on the Vargases for a while now, thanks Mint

Honestly it was all just an excuse to turn him down and have Scriabin call Edgar his “landlord” haha; I was feeling nostalgic and went back to reread some old YuGiOh fics and had been so long away that I forgot that was a term used in the fandom to refer to the bodies of people the various Yamis would take over hehe ♪ It felt very fitting!

I can call him that but don’t you call him that >:(

Angy Scriabin!Edgar, the usual

Handplates re/reading doodles!! Hghgh!!! The theses of these stories of codependent relationships cut me to my very core I’ll have you know 💕 I managed to avoid falling down the rabbit hole of Handplates!Vargas but I was this close, lemme tell you. The subtle shift in phrasing changes so much ;; I love them dearly

A kind-of leftover WOY style Scriabin, since I made his hair all pointy in my first doodles - the WOY style is quite soft and round! He looks very silly hehe

Another song that is, yes, unironically in my Vargas playlist. This is a Nny song to me and you can pry it from my cold dead correct hands. That beautiful facial hair ♪

More Handplates/Vargas, this time obviously inspired by my holiday request 💕💖💞 I honestly rather like how calm Gaster seems whenever he’s in Edgar’s vicinity, he is a fairly unassuming human haha. Is it because he doesn’t laugh very often? Oh no that’s sad actually haha

I’m not done with Blank Slate Ch. 4 just yet - hopefully soon! - but this lineup stands out to me especially since I made it while rereading Handplates. Specifically after Gaster is pulled out of the Void - Gaster having to face the people he loves who have no memory of him really spoke to me in a Blank Slate way - the scenario of being able to completely start over and have never done anything to hurt your loved ones, at the expense of never having done anything to them, as far as they’re concerned, ah! It hurts so beautifully!! That’s one of the central themes I’m chasing so it was so cool to see in that context! Very inspiring ♥

So remember how in my Sims post, one Vargas family ended up with two Todds? Well what if that but actually

Twin Todd AU, just try and stop me

The saddest little twins y’ever did see ahh 💔 Having to share Shmee because there’s just the one of him! Who has a greater need :’0

I actually went and skimmed the SQUEE! comics to get a better grasp on the Casils, I’d forgotten basically everything haha. It seemed in keeping that if they could barely keep track of the one Todd, they wouldn’t bother even differentiating between two :’) Taking Todd shifts to better share the load

At least they have each other! More helpful than a stuffed bear who eats trauma? On par at least?

I also happened to catch this screenshot of the Todds gossiping about their shadow-dad, though I’m not sure who had seen him :0 By now I have found an adoption memory-loss prevention mod - thank goodness :D - but it wasn’t installed at the time! :0 Blue Todd is the Todd who’d already been the Vargases’ kid, Red Todd is newly-adopted Todd :)

Greetings in order! One of the Todds came by to scout out this strange new person

It’s a name to go by, if nothing else

Reporting back from the field, he has served his big narrative influence hehe ♥

Uh, yeah, about that- While I don’t doubt you were seeing double at times, uhm-

Surprise! Double the sons!

Only so much space in this apartment! They’re probably used to sharing a space to sleep weh, the implications of this AU are sad! I have no one to blame but myself haha

I have never been able to give up this twisted love I have for Edgar getting flustered about incredibly silly things and Scriabin chiding him with just his name haha ♥ Real twins do not delegitimize whatever the hell you two are to each other 💕

Who me? An affinity for how names shape identity and what it means to be a whole separate person? In love with this story in particular? You must be mistaken. But really, what would their name(s) be? I also love the subtle differences even just here - one Todd speaks up for the other! Dynamics ✨

1994, 2004, basically the same year innit. Scriabin is so much more on the up-and-up about the latest technology than Edgar, that old man

In which the offscreen is me lol, I was so blown away by how much more advanced the Sims 2 was from the Sims 1 ♥ Scriabin doesn’t need a box with a program in it, he has the absolute funnest toy in the world already!

And isn’t that the most important part ♪

Scriabin immediately makes himself and hooks up with every Sim he can, Edgar uncomfortable and totally not watching a~ny of the animations hehe ♪ Honestly though, the thought of Scriabin being genuinely excited to virtually get it on with any-and-every delights me haha

Look. Look, okay, look- If I could choose what to be inspired by, I would but sometimes

Obviously Scriabin would be a long Furby lol, this exchange can be summarized to “Scriabin no D:” “Scriabin yes >:D”

He’s complaining that Edgar ignoring him sleeping is boring haha

I did briefly lose my mind over how the Furbish word for “I/me/my/mine” is all the same - linguistically it makes sense, self-possessive, but in this, in their context ♥

Based on that one Wojak format - looks into the camera like “Yes. I am in your head. Insanity tracks” pfft

And it’s @jaspravex with the steel chair!! I hadn’t drawn any of them in like a month and then all of a sudden- I was 1000% not expecting to be hit with such a huge wave of inspiration but gosh and dang did this line of thought light me up. The implication! The jealousy! Wow that’s a lot all at once I wasn’t expecting ♥ Somehow these two never ended up on my shipping chart, dynamics I swear haha ✨

There’s September through February for the fourth go ‘round! Wild when I put it like that :0 Like clockwork, these lads ♪

[the-osborn-way]

Ghostface ranking please n thank you

OH MY GOD YES YES YES I LOVE RANKING ALL THE GHOSTIES

My ranking of all 15 Ghostfaces so far (yes.... I'm including Jason and Greg because if I don't, SOMEBODY'S gonna bitch about it I know--)

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ALL 6 SCREAM FILMS

Rankings under the cut

Stu Macher (Scream)

The BEST Ghostface to ever Ghostface. A BIT underrated just because people will sometimes give Billy more credit. But like- hot man. Has no actual motive for killing, Billy was like "Hey, dude, let's kill people" and he literally needed nothing more. Thought up of some of the key parts of their plan, definitely gutted Casey and Steve, probably put Kenny on the van by himself (Billy wasn't around, so-) . Definitely top 3 or 4 strongest Ghosties to date. And the humor-- okay, I could go ON AND ON about Stu, but I'll stop here. Matthew Lillard really took the character from boring in the script to one of the only parts of the original film me and my mother (who's TERRIFIED of horror films and would rather forget them) remembered from our first watch when I was 13. (She said she'll never forget his laugh and that she hates him. ... She then got me a t-shirt of him not 3 weeks later for Christmas. Sorry, Mom-) Great job, man! Stu stole my heart, LOTS of my money, and a large part of my brain, so it's safe to say he'll always be my fave and an icon in my eyes. (Literally wearing my Stu shirt as I type this, what a fun coincidence LOL-)

2. Charlie Walker (Scream 4)

I said what I said. People either adore Charlie or despise him, and I love him DEARLY. Yes, he's very attractive, but on top of that, he racks up one of the highest kill counts by a single Ghostface alone in the entire franchise, beaten only by Roman, I believe. From Olivia Morris, which was obviously his kill, to tossing Rebecca Walters off a building, to Jenny and Marnie... definitely Robbie... Kirby... Kate Roberts... man just went crazy with the kills, and I respect it. He had loyalty, some great lines, a HILARIOUS deleted scene ( ), and he kept cool under pressure, never revealing himself until absolutely necessary. Do I relate to him? Yep. Is that bad? Probably, but I love him anyways.

3. Jill Roberts (Scream 4)

Another maybe controversial ranking, but I love Jill! I think her motive is fantastic, the way that she uses Charlie to get what she wants, and as someone who has acted innocent in situations where I'm definitely not, her acting is spot on. I never thought about it being her until her reveal, and it's still one of my favorites of all time. She is also, I believe, the Ghostface who got closest to the goal of killing Sidney and getting away with it, so congrats, girl! You had the whole world fooled till the hospital! She's a great take on what I think is the modern version of Billy Loomis, and she nailed the innocent act, truly. Did she kill anyone? Probably, but I can't think of anyone who I know is 100% a Jill Kill. Either way, good for her for not getting her hands dirty, or FOR getting her hands dirty! Impressive no matter what in my mind.

4. Billy Loomis (Scream)

Dont worry, Billy fans, he's still in my top 5! The only reason he's not my third is because I think he's just a BIT overrated. If the movies weren't constantly making him seem like he was the only killer and completely alienating Stu (I think there's a reason for that, but I won't explain that here), then I'd put him above Jill. I know that's a weird reason, but it's my reason. Billy is a fantastic manipulator who knew how to get exactly what he wanted from Sid, and also was a repressed drama queen, which I relate to a lot. While Stu was openly crazy, Billy hid behind the stone cold semi-facade. I don't think Billy would ever have gotten as crazy as Stu did, but he definitely showed the drama in several ways that make me smile and laugh every time. Falling down a flight of stairs? Fucking up Stu's couch cushions? Comedy gold every time. I give Billy credit for stabbing Casey, killing Himbry, and killing Tatum. I think the rest were Stu's because of the gutting and where Billy was at the time. I also think he killed Maureen, so a nice 4ish kills for him! Anyways, top tier Ghostie, another one I'll always respect respect and love.

5. Amber Freeman (Scream 5)

I'm gonna be honest, I hated her when I first watched Scream 5. Hated Richie too, but he's still terrible. Fuck him. I thought Amber was a trashy, third rate version of Stu that was extremely fake and her turn from cold to goofy seemed extremely forced. Then I took a deep dive and figured out why. (If you want a full explanation, let me know, I'm trying to stay short here.) So I believe that Richie is this movie's Stu and Amber is the movie's Billy. From her plans, her using the house, just her very cold, calm demeanor in the beginning, she just gives Billie energy, while Richie is just... well, he's the Netflix guy. He makes jokes left and right. But Amber, I think she was trying to be the Stu while Richie was trying to be the Billy. Everyone forgets that Stu was a boyfriend too, (Billy's) Tatum's boyfriend. Amber was supposed to be Tara's girlfriend in the original script. So now, I see her third act as more of her desperate attempt to look like her idol instead of sticking with the persona that served her well for the rest of the film. That really made me appreciate her more, and made her feel even underutilized, as did the Macher house. (I LOVE THAT HOUSE. I LOVE IT. Well, the actual actual house, not the Scream 5 version.) So yeah. Amber was a cold blooded killer trying to be just like the Macher before her, even if that wasn't the part she was meant to play in her movie. Taking credit for Dewey's kill? Absolutely. She was in the cult and she just wanted to piss Gale off by saying she did it. Fantastic lines, wonderful creep factor! Her death- *chef's kiss* Lovely homage to Sidney shooting Billy. And that's my top 5!

6. Quinn Bailey (Scream 6)

The only member of that damn family who did a good job killing. Richie included. Funny? Check. Didn't see her coming? Check. Ruthless? Double check. I don't think she did Gale's attack either, I think that just like Amber, she took the blame for someone else's work just to keep them hidden. Besides that, she was a good character, someone you thought was long gone until she wasn't. Bonus points for her saying Stu was her fave and definitely being the one to stab Mindy on the subway. Maybe not the greatest Ghostie ever, certainly low on kills, but I enjoy watching her a lot.

7. Nancy Loomis, aka "Debbie Salt" (Scream 2)

Another hidden killer who deserved more screen time after her reveal, and more backstory. I love her motive of "good, old-fashioned revenge", and I can see her killing Randy out of rage. Killing Mickey? Nice way to keep things in her favor! Debbie Salt was eh. Don't remember her much tbh- I would've liked to see Nancy more as herself, she just had great potential. Did she take some kills? Absolutely. Got her hands dirty to honor her son. But that's what I don't like. She leaves Hank, then suddenly after Billy dies, she's like the best mother ever?? Killing for the son SHE left?? Her leaving is the reason Scream happened, paired with Maureen and Hank's infidelity-- that's why she's a solid 7 in my book, and the best of the worst. Only goes downhill from here, folks.

8. Mickey Altieri (Scream 2)

GREAT in the Act 3. Other than that? Um... he was okay, I guess? He had some funny lines, but where I really like him is in the possibility possibility of what he's done. He definitely killed for Nancy, he was insane and just wanted people to see him that way. He DID talk to Matthew Lillard in the background of the sorority party... Mickey and Stu working together?? His Act 3 was good, he showed he could be a good Ghostface, scared Sidney, killed Derek... but that's where this ranking and my positive comments about him stop.

9. Wayne Bailey (Scream 6)

Classic parent who wants revenge, angry, pulls it off decently. He has some good moments, funny, a definite suspect, and nowhere near as good a cop as Dewey. Points for trapping the Core 4 (minus Mindy) and Kirby in the second coolest location in the franchise, but that's where my positivity stops. Sam killed him easy, he was a shit parent until Richie died I bet. Did he get his kids to murder? Oh yeah, I think he's the one who made this whole plan up with Quinn and Ethan's help. He doesn't really stand out. Did he kill?? Even wear the fucking mask?? I honestly don't think so. I would put him lower, but compared to the next three... yeah, he's fine at 9.

10. Richie Kirsch (Scream 5)

WHYYYY. WHY. The only goof thing I can say is that like 5 of his lines made me laugh, and he also hates Stab 8. Me too, dude, that looks BAD. Motive? Pretty good, solid movie motive, getting with Sam to get the job done. Ruthless? Yeah. But he's sloppy. He's a Stu without the magic, just trying to make a movie. Him dating Amber?? *vomits* KILL ME NOW. He was 100% manipulated by her, I know he was. A sad attempt of Billy Loomis that leaned more towards Stu, and his cheesy shit throughout the film made his "true colors" seem kinda dull and not very scary. I don't like him. I don't.

11. Ethan Landry [Bailey] (Scream 6)

Like father, like sons!- all in my least favorite 5 of legitimate Ghostfaces. How much screen time did he have?? Not enough. Innocent guy, "I was in Econ!" to "HAHAHA I'M INSANE NOW!!"? I hate it. His transition was too forced, he was bland and stupid, his attempts at faking his knowledge about everything were embarrassing and made him look worse as a character. The easiest Ghostface to spot. I don't know, I mean I get people like him because he's insane and attractive, but I don't. Sorry to all of you who love this guy and his family. His best scene? When Tara stabbed him in the mouth. You go, queen!!

13. Roman Bridger (Scream 3)

Fuck. FUCK. I hate him, I hate this movie, I hate it all. His motive is pretty solid, I actually like it a lot... but he was stuck up, whiney, and underutilized. Like Ethan, low screen time, unbelievable shift from loser to villain- did he even share a scene with Sid?? Talk to her?? And this makes Billy and Stu look like lackeys. I HATE IT. I would've much rather had the Stu leading a Ghostface cult film, but I know why they went this route instead, and I respect that. Like Ethan, the best part about him, and of this movie, is his death. Dewey missing his head like 5ish times before finally hearing Sid and going for the head Thor in Endgame style?? Comedy. GOLD. I love Dewey Riley. But yeah, I just don't like Roman at all. His strengths are his motive, his INSANE kill count (I think he had an accomplice.), and his physical strength. Besides those? Useless. Sorry, Roman die-hards.

14. Jason Carvey (Scream 6)

Not bad for a Ghostface killed in the first 15 minutes. He had the makings of a good killer, definitely in the cult, but his time was just extremely short. Nothing much to say about him, but his only kill was a fantastic start to the film. I would put him higher, because I think he WAS a good Ghostface, but... 10 minutes or less of screen time? Sorry dude, don't know you well enough.

15. Greg (Scream 6)

Who?? Saw him a fridge. That's it. What's his last name, I don't remember- No screen time, not even alive on screen. Nothing more to say. He was probably pretty good though, if he was anything like Jason.

And there's my ranking of all 15 Ghostfaces!! If you want to add your own, feel free to below! If you wanna comment on mine, please be respectful, but I'd like to know why you don't like characters I do, or like ones I don't. If your faves are my faves, share!! I love finding new Scream buddies!! And thanks for listening if you made it this far, that was LONG.

[strwbmei]

Hi Mei,

Happy Holidays!

I’ve had a bad day and it looks like tomorrow is gonna be worse, so can I request a Yanfei fluff?

Idk what to ask for specifically other than something sweet, hope it’s not too vague.

O./

-a very tired friend

pairing(s): pre-established yanfei x gn!reader

a/n: hello anon!! sorry to hear that you've been having a bad day ): hopefully this helps you feel a bit better, even if only a little bit!!

Yanfei Taking Care of a SO who's had a Rough Day

: ̗̀➛ No matter if and how you try to hide it, she can see right through you. She's a very observant person, and seeing her beloved's eyes so devoid of energy breaks her heart </3

: ̗̀➛ Even though she's dead set on cheering you up, she won't ask you about what happened. She herself has a tough time talking about these things before being able to clear her thoughts, so she'll wait until you bring it up and talk to her about it of your own volition.

: ̗̀➛ Although words are her forte, the two of you don't need them to show the other that you care. Once she sees you spent and very obviously tired, nothing will change about her behavior other than her voice being softer, her touch gentler, and her love for you all the more obvious because of all of the little things she does.

: ̗̀➛ And if her actions aren't as convincing as she'd like for them to be, she's more than glad to remind and tell you how much she loves you and that you can talk to her about anything; she just doesn't want you to feel pressured into talking about something you're not ready for yet when she'd happily wait for you to be.

: ̗̀➛ Likewise, she'll understand if you're the type that wants space to yourself when you're tired. Everyone has different ways of coping with stress, and who is she to judge yours? With a small yet sincere "I love you," she'll leave you be and come back with your favorite flowers and favorite snacks just when you start missing her.

: ̗̀➛ Even if she's very well versed in debates and has a way with words, she isn't confident in her ability to comfort others so she's more of a listener. Human emotions are complicated, but she's more than willing to try to understand them if it's for you.

: ̗̀➛ How she tries to cheer you up is completely dependent on the type of person you are. For instance, if you mentioned that you like her voice, she'll talk and talk and talk until her throat runs dry. That's just the way she loves.

: ̗̀➛ As much as she wants to cuddle, reassure, and spoil her beloved rotten, she'll save all of that for when you're better because she doesn't want to overwhelm you and also so that you both can have a fun time without anything stressing you out. Just a bit of cuddling won't hurt though, would it...?

: ̗̀➛ She'd have her arms wrapped gently wrapped around your waist, nuzzling her antlers gently into your chest (don't worry, she takes great care to file them regularly so the ends are soft and round!) while she tells you in the most sincere voice that she loves you more dearly than you could ever imagine.

[zundely]

I just noticed I almost never post about Lavellan x Dorian compared to all my other canon romances and that is because, if I have to be totally brutally honest with myself, I am not entirely sure what their relationship would be like post Inquistion.

Like I am in a LDR myself- and part of me wants a sappy, sweet romance and them just finding small ways to be happy amidst all the chaos.

But another part of me thinks that Dorian wouldn't be entierly ready for all the controversy him having an Dalish elven husband would bring in the Imperium. And I don't mean it in the he would be ashamed of him etc. way because obviously not, that man loves to stir up drama and controversy. I mean that back in Ferelden/Orlais Dorian felt as if he was the one to be ashamed of and he seemed kind of unaware that to an elven Inquistior there is a lot more things at play that is going to make this relationship hard then Dorian being a Tevinter magister. And I think this obliviousness to how social pressures will affect diffrent races in diffrent ways makes sense for him, he doesn't notice that just how he never noticed how having slaves is weird till he left Tevinter. It's a very realistic trait for a character who grew up with considerable amount of privilage. Which leads me to belive that, as much as I think Dorian wouldn't be ashamed of his elven boyfriend, he would also probably not know or be prepared to help him with all the backlash that is inevetably coming their way. As much as I love Dorian he has this horrible habit of putting foot in his mouth and just saying the worst thing at the worst possible time, especially when it comes to elves and I think, in environment that is as hostile to elves as Tevinter, this would become a source of some tension in the relationship, maybe even potentially be a reason for it to fracture.

What I am saying is I have two wolves inside me, one wants to make happy nerdy husbands Pavellan content, second wants to make bitter, still not over each other and love each other dearly but it's complicated ex-husbans Pavellan content and they are at each others throats every time I think about them.

[t4tpumpkinduo]

if those text post about the sa stuff is about cq i am baffled with how blind someone has to be to be that bad at media literacy and racist hello

no like. lmao it's super abt cq and yeah. it's horrible.✌️ i like don't even know where to begin w what an awful take it is. can we be people.

it's just uhh. well. imo not good to take v v lighthearted joke/outta context bits that aren't given narrative weight and then spin them into something they Never Were for some like. idk. leeway? is that what it is? leveling the playing field? i see this talk abt cquackity frm a lot of ppl (v consistently in cdr*blr, just to paint a picture lmao.) but the one that makes me the saddest is frm ppl who rlly like cschlatt and wnna fight back at his unjust bigoted fanon treatment by being unjust and bigoted to. another character?  like. ok? 😭

the worst thing is, for the second group, (first group don't matter i'm not wasting my time arguing w ppl like that), is that it's coming from ppl who are like. all things considered completely right abt cschlatt! it's absolutely correct to get upset abt an addict being demonized, having all his actions taken in the worst faith imaginable. having joke bits that don't have narrative weight treated as hard canon when that's not the case at all, just to paint some stupid picture that woobifies and dilutes other characters at his textually supposed to be sympathetic expense. it's ridiculous! that's all true!! cschlatt sweep forever that's my special princess like i agree!!!

so if you can understand that taking bits where he's like slapping cqs ass, or making boy prostitute jokes at cfundy, or batting people around jokingly/w no narrative weight are clearly meant to be at most shitty jests w no added pressure to them, and painting it as smthing else is disingenuous and transparent. why the hell are you taking like this abt cquackity then 😭 why the hell are HIS actions suddenly being scrutinized w the same rightfully critiqued incorrect lense! it's just sowugrrugrbrfnjfk

and on top of that, you cannot divorce the way ppl look at things and the way they filter them. like uhh for example. there's a stream where ckarl just like drugs cquackity. he puts heroin in his shit and it causes him a psychotic break and q chases the guy like an animal abt it for quite a while until he sobers up. ckarl also called him like ugly and stupid and unlikable and at one point hunted him down with an axe across the map bcs he left him at a joke altar. and i have never once in my life seen ppl freak out at ckarl abt it and go ohhh he must be a secret abuser oooh. BECAUSE THAT'S NOT TRUE AND SHOULD NEVER BE A TALKING POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE 😭 OBVIOUSLY!!! it's not supposed to be taken that way in the narrative at all. ckarl is explicitly a good guy, who means well and likes playing pranks on his friends who he loves dearly enough to sacrifice himself for them over and over. there's no awful weight to these actions he's playing his damn touys. when shit is meant to be held to a standard it literally just is held to it the dsmp isn't subtle there's no way around it. and if smone tried to tell you anything different abt it the ridicule they'd deserve would be astronomical.

ctubbo tried to drown ctommy and spent the whole time giggling abt it. that doesn't mean ctubs is some kinda freak abt it because it's treated in the narrative as a bit. ctommy hits and lashes out at cjack a lot. it's never treated or supposed to be taken as ctommy fucking abusing him. 😭 cschlatt and cq make jokes at eachother and it just point blank is never coded in any other way than them doing bits and speaking in freak tongues and having gay ghost sex infront of cq's fucking dad and being light hearted assholes to eachother until we get to the scenes where weight IS being applied. and even then it's not abusive it's human conflict between equals. like fuck's sake.

and idk. like i said, it rlly is interesting that it's applied to those character specifically. and the hypocritical gross ass double standard of it all is suddenly like. so ignorable huh how weird. so you see specifically the addict character who's at most an asshole as some uniquely scary demon evil abuser despite him not being that at all. you see this mentally ill deeply psychotic dude who's at most an asshole and think he's a violent freak who beats his brother even though he clearly isn't. you see this brown character, one of the ONLY ones, and suddenly yr stumbling over yrself abt how he's a violent assaulter and also fantasy racist to white characters despite all the. wow yr rlly cool and normal and not transparent at all hahaha. wow. hah. what a world.

anyways yeah like. i'm not gnna engage w this fuckass topic no more gensrs. it's bad for my blood sugars it's bad for my liver i've said my piece i'm done i'm sick of it. 👍 i'm just gnna start blocking even more ppl and focusing on the good of the fanbase instead. sucks that it's so common and unchecked but whatttt can you do except keep sending ghouls and devils to their addresses. if you have this wack ass "interpretation" do us both a favor and fucking block me. sword slash through the chest and you're on fire.

[oops-all-stephen]

Early last year, when I was first getting into the MCU, my main objective was simply to watch every movie that Stephen was in. The rest I could watch later, if I was interested enough.

So, anyway, of course I noticed the lack of cheese-gloves in every one of Stephen’s appearances…. except, of course, Thor Ragnarok.

And I, with all the very little knowledge of Marvel lore that I had, thought I was sooooo smart because I watched that scene between Stephen and Thor and those yellow gloves and thought:

Ahhh, of course! The writers are such geniuses! Stephen, being a very powerful sorcerer as he is, is obviously attuned to certain aspects of people that aren’t necessarily physical or visible to the naked eye. He can sense auras, he seems to display clairvoyance to some extent even without the use of the Time Stone when he shakes Thor’s hand…. it’s no wonder he wears those gloves! Stephen is disabled and still JUST getting used to being disabled (and a sorcerer!) It’s been roughly a year since he had those metal pins inserted into his hands. And Thor is the God of Thunder, and while not necessarily the god of, like, weather or even “storms” in general, the heavy pressure of storm clouds is almost oppressive especially when you’re constantly flying through them and also directly causing them, right?

What if that’s his aura? What if that oppressive, heavy, barometric pressure follows Thor around even when he’s not shooting lightning from the heavens? Wouldn’t that feel…. extremely painful to somebody who’s only just getting used to his bones being held together by tiny shards of metal? Painful to someone who was born for the mystic arts despite still being, essentially, a novice to sorcery during the events of that movie?

I was so certain that the only time we see Stephen with those beautiful dishwashing gloves (I love them dearly) was because he was protecting his hands from Thor’s whole… just…. Everything. And that’s why we don’t see them again in any of his other appearances featuring Marvel characters who,,,, don’t quite carry the smothering pressure of brewing storm clouds around their person wherever they go……

But no, it really was just a wardrobe choice.

[tiredlilguy]

omg would u do. vampire dazai x reader 👁️ u can decline this request since it technically falls as a AU :)

a/n: no need to worry! AU's that are easy to understand are fine with me :D hope u enjoy, anon!

pairing: Vampire!Dazai Osamu X GN!Reader cw: not proofread, suggestive//, mentions of blood desc: after a long day of working at the Agency, instead of coming home, you ran off to go meet your beloved in an abandoned building not too far from the city.

“ I’m off Kunikida!,” you waved at your blonde coworker as you had hurriedly walked out the door. You adjusted your messenger bag over your shoulder as you practically skipped out the door with a smile. Kunikida raised a brow at your chipper attitude, but ignored the thought, continuing to write up his report for the end of the day. You fidgeted with you bag, digging for a pair of keys as you walked over to your car that was parked on the street. You had been waiting for quite a while to see someone in particular, someone who you’d fallen in love with. Though you had to make sure that your meetings only happened every few days out of the month. This person that you were going to see… didn’t exactly want to be seen amongst the public. It wasn’t for the reason that they were a criminal, or that they’d simply never wanted to go outside… No, you were off to see your beloved partner, Dazai Osamu: a vampire.

You had made your way off to the outskirts of Yokohama, making sure that no one was following you. Your partner had sent you a letter mentioning how he’d missed you dearly, wanting to see your face again. Obviously, you obliged and were now headed towards the location where you were to meet him: an abandoned mansion just on the way out of the city.

On your way, you contemplated how you had even got into this situation in the first place. It all started off with an innocent job: trying to find out the source of certain animal and camper killings on the outskirts of the city… then finding out it wasn’t just a crazed bear or even a wolf… and then trying to cover up the story in your own way while also falling in love with the said perpetrator: Dazai.

Eventually, you made your way to the abandoned mansion that he called a home. You stepped out of the car and walked up to the old stone steps that were becoming entangled in vines, similar to it’s walls. You stared at the dark wooden doors for a moment before pushing them open, as they creaked under the pressure. The heels of your shoes hit the ground, making a clacking noise as you stepped inside with no fear in your eyes. Though, on the inside, you felt like your heart was beating out of your chest in excitement.

You were met with the inside of the mansion: rather dark and brooding. The interior being a pattern of black and white, but all the lights were off. “ Osamu?,” you called out into the void of the room. Suddenly, a gust of wind flew past you in a rush, but you did not flinch… even when a cold hand held your warm one: the other leaning you neck back as you felt a breathe on your neck. “ There you are, sweet angel” a rough, yet sweet voice dripped into your ears like honey. It was Dazai’s voice, that which made your chest swell up. He gently kissed your neck, making your shiver. He let out a soft hum as he felt your body react to his action. Once again, he left another kiss on your neck, and then another until it turned from soft pecks to open mouthed kisses. You hums turned into soft moans as he had only kissed deeper. You let out a gasp as he gently grazed his teeth over your neck, but had pulled back to prevent himself. “ So sensitive…,” he muttered, before turning you around in his arms,” I missed you.” “ I missed you too,” you muttered, putting a hand over your mouth, as you’d felt slightly embarrassed for letting out such noises. Dazai frowned, pulling your hand away from your face and gently caressing your face with his nimble fingers. You only looked up at him in awe as his face grew into a toothy grin, showing off the fang that had touched your neck. Eventually, he put a thumb on your button lip, opening your mouth slightly. He chuckled to himself, letting go of your face,” I’m getting a little hungry.” You blinked out of your daze and shook your head.

“ You can just take a bite if you really want,” you muttered, shoving the side of your collar out of the way. He smirked, nodding and then moved towards your lips. Your forehead was touching his as his red eyes looked into yours. It was almost as if he was asking for permission. Not wanting to wait any longer, you moved to connect your lips with his. He accepted, kissing back as you opened your mouth. While you were kissing, his hands moved to unbutton a couple buttons off your shirt. You let out a moan as his cold hands touched your skin. Tongues dancing, he broke the kiss and gently kissing up your jaw and down to your neck. He stopped himself again before kissing that spot gently once again. Despite his desperation and hunger, Dazai still tried to be gentle with you. You let out a whine and he knew you were growing impatient, so he grinned before opening his mouth: the fangs of his canines moving to sink into the skin of your neck. You let out a loud groan as Dazai had bit you. He watched as blood fell from your neck and he quickly sucked it up, though retracted his teeth to relieve you from your pain.

He pulled away, licking his lips. You seemed dazed once again as you watched him do so: your face feeling hot. “ That’s better…,” Dazai kissed your lips before looking at you. “ Yeah…,” was the only thing that came out of your mouth before you looked into his eyes, now filled with lust. “ Should we leave it at that, or can I feast on my lovely dessert,” he whispered close to your face. This time, you were the one to smirk,” Do with me what you want, ‘Samu…”

[graceofgondor]

i saw your tags and... what are your thoughts on film théoden pls share!

Hi omg thank you for asking! It's been a minute since I've read the books so bear with me haha but I'll try my best to explain.

For me at least, it seems apparent that Theoden in the book is a humble king, he's not all that proud or greedy like many of the other ones. His role is essentially some form of peacemaker, he has no problem with Rohan's alliance with Gondor and doesn't hold Denethor's stewardship (or the long-dead history of the West Fold for that matter) against them.

Now while I don't have anything against film Theoden, I think he's definitely one of the characters whose book-to-film differences are overlooked the most. While he loves his family very dearly and evidently cares for his people, there is very much a sense of pride there especially when it comes to being at Gondor's aid, let alone taking advice from someone like Aragorn, who regardless of being an heir, seemingly can only sway Theoden with reason if at all. (Hence "Theoden not Aragorn is king of Rohan") And in this, it seems he was written as more of an ignorant ruler in some capacity despite being just, in order to naturally shine some light on Aragorn's leadership skills and create a more significant arc for him— which, in my opinion, fell a bit flat in the books by comparison. And I could get into Aragorn in the books vs the movies but I won't because that is a different conversation entirely.

The glaringly obvious difference of course is his relationship dynamic with Merry in the books is moreso handed over to Eowyn in the films. While I actually like this change (simply because it makes their relationship stronger and his death more meaningful) I can see how Merry would become a sort of second image of Theodred, and Merry's self-worth and character arc naturally going into that as well. I like how in the films Theoden wanted so badly for Eowyn to be happy because that was somewhat present in the book, but it was really emphasized in the films that her being a lady, as well as being strong, did not have to replace her happiness.

What I do like about Theoden in the film, is obviously his emotion and strife, and his willingness to do what he deems best for his people (even if it isn't always right I actually like that he makes mistakes). Also, Peter Jackson evidently took the time to highlight these mistakes and his self-identity/the weight of his responsibility being a more prominent aspect of his character, which I really liked too. Especially because in the fatherly sense, we don't really get to see much of that aspect of The War Of The Ring, how Sauron is ripping families apart and putting so much pressure onto rulers and such, but I especially like how we get to see that on a very deep and personal level with Theoden, because that is one thing I think the book did not possess, and while it is certainly different and definitely not perfect, I do actually appreciate it.

That's basically it! I actually love answering questions like this so if anyone would like to know more of my silly thoughts feel free to drop it in the ib <3

Ooh you should read TGCF, I can say it will be one of the best experince ever. So for fav moments in TGCF, sorry if it's kinda spoiler and really sorry if I forgot a lot (it's been a while since I last read them) :

When Hua Cheng deaged and Xie Lian said "you thaught me how simple it is to be happy" ; When Yin Yu defend Quan Yizhen despite he hate (?) him; when Hua Cheng said to Xie Lian "what matters is you not the state of you; the power of Xie Lian's cooking; and when Shi Qingxuan became the best friend for Xie Lian....

Now, about Haikyuu ships, do you mind if I ask the same as that anon. Also the same format (strength, weakness and dynamic) for Iwaoi, Bokuaka and Ushiten?

For me, my otp (no 1) is Kagehina ; no 2 are Iwaoi & Kuroken (yes, I can't decide and love both ships dearly) ; no 3 is Bokuaka ; no 4 are Lev/Yaku & Ushiten and no 5 is takeda/younger Ukai.

I agree of what you said to that anon. It's shallow to block someone just because of ships. Like, you should block someone if they said something rude, harmful or made you uncomfortable, right....

P.s

Please don't dislike me but I'm a Kyo/Yuki shipper. Like, I love Kakeru and adore his bond with Yuki but Kyo/Yuki is just special to me (sorry).

thank you for sharing your favourite parts! "what matters is not the state of you" gets me every time...

Iwaoi will always be my #1 but I love so many haikyuu ships! your choices are really good and some are a bit unusual - how many people would put takeda/ukai in their top 5?

onto the analysis!

Iwaoi

oikawa's greatest weakness is his inferiority complex. it pushes him beyond his limits (NOT IN A GOOD WAY) and has probably caused iwa an undue amount of stress. he's probably got grey hair.

his greatest strength is his determination - he works hard and he matches his ambition and pride, which I like a lot. he lives up to everything he says he is, and he is able to match with the greatest volleyball players - who, despite their hard work, are undeniably at an advantage because of skill.

we don't often see moments of weakness from iwaizumi. if you were going to pick anything it would probably be stubbornness? while we don't see this trip him up, we can imagine how it might have gotten in his way. equally, his weakness might be that we don't see weakness. the only moment we get is his tears at the end of aoba johsai v karasuno, where he's upset that he wasn't dependable enough and couldn't get it for his team. perhaps it's his strength and care that cause him the most problems.

iwaizumi's strength is, like, everything. (kidding!). we see he is reliable, caring, and unafraid to call out on people's bullshit (especially oikawa's). everyone looks up to him. in terms of iwaoi, it's his reliability that makes him the best person for oikawa.

so we see!! we have quite a volatile, mood-swingy, unnerving character in Oikawa, and a solid, grounding presence in iwaizumi. ~can I make it anymore obvious~~?? iwaizumi encourages, grounds, supports, and - best of all - vouches for oikawa. would we like oikawa as much if we didn't see him with iwa? meanwhile, oikawa adds levity to iwaizumi and encourages him to work harder, go further, and - not to steal kghn's thing - fly higher!!! I do not think iwaizumi has any amaaazzziiing talent as a spiker. it's mainly that he's very strong (arm wrestling champion) and that he works with oikawa. also, they're both total weirdos, volleyball nerds, and sci-fi enjoyers. i love them a lot. (SEND ME MORE IWAOI ASKS I HAVE LOTS TO SAY)

bokuaka

Bokuto's greatest weakness is, obviously, his mood swings. it's very easy for him to give up when things don't go right. equally, his greatest strength is his quick recovery from these, his willingness to try again, and his thirst to do more.

akaashi's greatest weakness is he's tootally stressy and anxious. as we see during his breakdown, he puts a lot of pressure on himself - especially when trying to support bokuto's growth as a player - and this can have some pretty strong effects on him.

akaashi's greatest strength has to be his blunt personality. (not when playing volleyball, but in life in general). he says what he means and doesn't back down; he just owns it. it's a really admirable trait to have.

these guys are sooooo freak4freak. bokuto is loud, silly, emotional, friendly, and totally odd. akaashi is quiet, calm, composed, blunt, and totally odd. they bring out the best parts of each other and encourage each other to become better, as both people and players. to akaashi, bokuto is a star player. to bokuto, akaashi is the best setter in the world. it's canon to me that bokuto would still get akaashi to set to him during MSBY days whenever he needed some regulation.

ushiten (my beloveds)

ushijima's greatest weakness is the fact he doesn't understand people. it's difficult for him to be a true team player OR to combat other, opposing players because he doesn't understand their thought processes properly. this leaks into real life, where he doesn't seem to have many friends - though plenty of shiratorizawa people like him!

ushijima's greatest strength is blunt honesty. like akaashi, he just says what he means - unlike akaashi, he doesn't use this to (affectionately) bully people. he's genuinely a nice person who will praise when it's earned and correct when it's necessary. he does his best to make friends and i love him for that :')

tendou's greatest weakness ... he's generally perceived as a bit creepy by most people, which causes rifts between him and other players/friends/opponents AND forms a tragic backstory for him. while he appears to have overcome this hurdle, it still trips him occasionally. (I talk about why his strangeness is a good thing here).

tendou's great strength is his supportive nature. he's genuinely there to help people. he vouches for hinata at the training camp, he constantly comforts goshiki, he fucks around with semi and makes everyone relax & feel normal again. he's genuinely a kind person.

THESEEEE GUYSSS MAKE ME FERALLLLL they're so silly!! Ushijima doesn't understand people, tendou understands them too well. ushijima is blunt & honest, tendou communicates solely in jokes/sarcasm. tendou plays for the funsies, ushijima cannot imagine doing anything else but volleyball. they are both excluded, 'weird', unwanted, and they're BEST FRIENDS!!! now i want to read some funny ushiten. any recs?

and finally, yes, it's totally ridiculous to get upset over anyone shipping something you don't. I don't even block unless the ship is unethical OR makes 0 sense within the context of the media. Or just unethical. while everyone should curate their own internet experience & blocking keeps us from starting arguments, why lose a genuine friendship over it?

I'm not upset you ship yuki/kyo. I don't ship them but I know why you do. it doesn't hurt me - you do you!

thanks for the ask!!

Daisy Johnson/Daniel Sousa - Invisible String by Taylor Swift

so i said i would write an essay on this. So I will.

minor mentions of PTSD, therapy and the traumas they've both been through

A huge theme for Daisy and Daniel is time. Obviously.

"time, curious time. gave me no compass, gave me no signs."

neither of them expected each other. For Daisy, this was just another mission, where everything was on the line. For Daniel, it was literally just another day at the office. Until he opened that office door.

"were there clues I didn't see?"

It has been said that their relationship was rushed in that last season of AoS and it was, due to the fact it was a short last season of the show where there was everyone's plot points to wrap up. BUT, I could wax lyrical about little things that you can pick up in both of their character developments through the respective shows (AoS for Daisy, Agent Carter for Daniel), that make them ideal for each other. Both bullheaded, quick witted, willing to do whatever it takes for the good of other people. The way they compliment each other's personalities. Sousa's measured calm to Daisy raging storm.

"time, mystical time. Cutting me open, then healing me fine."

this applies to them both, but I mainly think about it from Daisy's perspective. Throughout the show she goes through huge trauma, huge things that, through lack of time to process or just huge attempts to internalise it she moves on from. Her whole childhood. Trip giving his life to try and save hers. Her mother almost killing her. Lincoln's death. Coulson's dying and coming back in various forms. Fitz forcibly removing her inhibitor. Fitz dying. May dying. Although she's not healed completely, time forced her to move on. I feel like she's the kind of person to say she was 'fine' when she is indeed, not.

"A string that pulled me, out of all the wrong arms."

Whether there was something, fate or subconscious, that moved Daisy away from the darker paths she could have gone down. Something cosmic that would lead her to something even better. To a life with him.

"Something wrapped all my past mistake in barbed wire"

Theres a deep debate in my heart about the way the rest of the team treat Daisy over the seasons. Don't get me wrong, I love them all dearly but I think a lot of pressure is placed on her shoulders. Knowing someone as well as the team know each other, leads to past mistakes being brought up even years later. Think Fitz (I love him don't come for me) saying "do you want me to list all the times you did [turn her back on the team]". I think Sousa, our protective boy, would provide a relief from this, a comfort that she was more than the mistakes she'd made, how she'd proven herself time and time again. Maybe it's due to the fact that he hadn't been present then, the fact he solely knew the person she was now and not how she'd got there.

"Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons"

All I can think is Ghost Rider here sorry.

But I'd also like to think that they both force each other to confront things, I like to think Daisy suggests going to one of the Shield therapists Mack hired would be good for Sousa as he is thrown into the 21st Century as well as the PTSD he likely has from his injury and the war. I also think he would suggest it as a good option for her, after a few sessions of his own, and they's have therapy and then go on lunch dates. Dealing with the demons, together.

"One single thread of gold tied me to you"

NEED I SAY MORE - THEIR LOVE IS GOLDEN. sorry.

"Cold was the steel of my axe to grind."

To me, this is Daniel and their first meeting. The frame of mind he was in when he found that fake CIA agent sat at his desk, after the emotional ringer he'd been put through thinking Peggy had arrived and then finding out it was a imposter. The anger and emotional rawness he was feeling. That (after some initial defensiveness) was healed by this fun to be around superhero that says what she means.

"Gold was the color of the leaves, When I showed you around Centennial Park"

This is off topic for this piece, but imagine, the pair of them taking a walk around the town close to the Lighthouse when the mission debrief was over. The pair of them chatting, Daniel enraptured when Daisy throws her head back in a laugh as they walk through the park, leaves crunching beneath their feet. And it just feels so normal.

"Hell was the journey, but it brought me heaven."

I have nothing to say, both of them went through hell and back,

"Time, wondrous time. Gave me the blues and then purple pink skies"

Time brought her to him. Time hopping kept them connected. TIme loops bringing them closer, at least for Daisy.

Blue shirt of chivalry and any excuse for my favourite gif purple pink skies.

"isn't it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?"

I like to think of Daisy, on a early morning watching a sleeping Daniel in the light of a beautiful sunrise, looking back on her life, wondering if everything she's gone through, although awful, meant that it lead her to this life with him. This unequivocal support, this life outside of shield that she never thought she'd have.

Anyway! If you made it to the end congrats.

Heres some links to videos that i found after i had this thought in the car the other day that use the song for these two. One on tiktok and the other on youtube

tagging @angry-slytherin because they seemed excited by the concept of this chaos ⭐️

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

So I keep finding Fall Out Boy songs that are absolute VIBES and I really like their work! I'm wondering if you have any recommendations, since you're a huge fan. No pressure, of course!!

ok so there's like, songs I just really like. songs that are pretty deep cuts. and songs that have Lore behind them that make me absolutely insane. I'm gonna give you a few of each

obviously their hits are hits for a reason. Sugar is so much fun to sing. Dance, Dance has a wicked fun bass part. Immortals and Centuries are both simply iconic. Grand Theft Autumn is a classic. I also really love The Last Of The Real Ones

I really like Alone Together, Fake Out (obviously sndkdnskfk) — actually, Hazel, do me a solid and just listen to all of So Much (For) Stardust straight through one time if you want/have a chance. it's so worth the like, hour of your time — Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes, Bob Dylan, and Hold Me Tight Or Don't. they're super good songs lyrically and musically I love them dearly they're not like, radioplay popular but they're decently well known?

as for some deeper cuts basically all of Folie A Deux is a banger despite the morality of some of the songs being iffy lol but hey. it bops we gotta be real here. I really really like the title track off of Save Rock And Roll (it makes me a bit emotional considering the band's journey through the years yknow?) as well as Miss Missing You. The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes goes HARD. The Music Or The Misery is... a whole lot. Bang the Doldrums, an absolute BANGER of a song to jump around a room to, could technically go in the lore category but honestly. it's the song that would have been in Shrek 2 if DreamWorks weren't hecking cowards. The (After) Life Of The Party is one of my favorite songs EVER. Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) is basically my theme song.

as for like, Lore songs, Hum Hallelujah is actually one of THE songs that got me into FOB, as well as Coffee's For Closers — Hum is largely about FOB's lyricist and bassist's suicide attempt (not in a horribly depressing way actually, it's a reference and a homage to the song that he says saved his life), and CFC borrows lyrics from one of that guy's old blog post poetry things (which I actually reblogged earlier today). I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) (yes, by Fall Out Boy sjdkdksk) is also tangentially about Pete's attempt in that he wrote it around that time and it's very much about his own insecurities. a pretty dark, sad song but one I relate to a lot and it sounds SO pretty. Saturday, off their first (proper) record, is a song the lead singer wrote pretty much entirely about the band and specifically the aforementioned bassist/lyricist — very historical song but also the song I sing every time I get in the car to drive somewhere skdlfjssk.

listen ok this is a lot, so-

TL;DR, out of every song I've recced here, top 10 songs you should listen to by Chicago Softcore Rock Band Fall Out Boy:

Hum Hallelujah, Bob Dylan, Coffee's For Closers, The (After) Life Of The Party, Saturday, Bang the Doldrums, Wilson (Expensive Mistakes), Save Rock and Roll, Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes, The Last Of the Real Ones

also the entirely of SMFS start to finish. it's a cinematic experience despite being audio. it might change your life.

“Master!”

Everyone bowed, well except you. You kneeled, then got up seeing as you were the captive.

“My children, I sense a presence. Who is this?”

“None of your business that’s what.” Venom seethed through your voice and the Hashira’s glares at you.

“Eh? You all wanna be angry at me? Ya should’ve been angry when I was a kid. Your master should’ve been there when I was little. Now he has you useless goons.” A sneer leaves your lips, “I ain’t spittin on em, disrespectful as hell but I do have this to say.”

You stare dead at him. “Why didn’t you come to save me when I needed you!? Was killing humans not on your agenda!? Why didn’t you just kill me!?”

The male’s gaze softens, and he lifts his hand. “Dear..I sense you recognize me, and yet we’ve never met.” A shock look rests on your face. “What do you mean!?” You grit your teeth.

“That’s enough out of you! Why did you attack one of our own.”

“SHUT IT SCAR FACE!” You pant, “I wasted so long searching for one of you and I’m met with disappointment!? All I asked is that you killed me! Was that to much!? Was I to good for you!? Y’all call yourselves heroes!?”

“If that’s the case.” A man stands up, lifting his weapon, “I can end your misery right now.”

“….Y-You would?”

“What’s the matter? No sense in being afraid-“ you kneel. “Please…let me join my loved ones..” the male stares.

Your eyes water, the fresh tears cascade down your face. “You all disappointed me before. I killed everyone in that damned village. None of you even realized they were killing each other, sending us off to demons.. I lost my precious one because of them. And if I just stay around longer…I’ll be stuck in this damned limbo of pain.”

“What exactly is it that your people do?”

Your eyes look up, “…..Your Vital points are your shoulders and ears. My people were able to see vital points within the human body and cut them.” It shocks a few for how easily you read the male.

“Tengen?”

The male sheaths his swords. “They’re right.”

“Why would someone as valuable as you want to die?”

“Because only the women there could do that! My mother was the few who could and it led to men desperately using her to find ways to kill others, control people and even worse. We were targets.” You grip the pebbles. “I was born, my little sister. She had a husband and of course folks were naive to try to force women like her to marry!”

“Those idiots didn’t realize once the husband died she goes self destructive. Or she’d persevere the body for experiments, they loved each other dearly and she died cuz of everyone’s foolishness….all you idiots had to do was kill me so it’d end. I don’t have him with me…he’s outta my eye sight.”

“So why not live?”you look up and a girl aims her gaze elsewhere, “You can’t just give up because someone else isn’t there…and you’re not very dangerous…”

“D-Don’t tell me what I am! You don’t even know me.”

“Well so far from your story you just sound like a tragic person who won’t even try to make do with their skills-“

You grip your pants, “This is why I’d rather be killed by him…that one Hashira…with beautiful scarlet dark hair…he had a gaze of determination and hatred towards me and yet. He never killed me. That boy could’ve done it. And yet you all let him leave.”

“Tanjiro cannot kill you dear.” Everyone watched as you shut your eyes, “…..You may stay here if you need to but I must ask you. How did you survive so long? Demons can’t be killed without swords.”

“Don’t need a sword when you cut the middle of their heads and necks…it releases a pressure of pain that lets their deaths be peaceful. As if demons actually escape the mind…”

—

I consider this a preview of my story. Some changes will obviously be made but yea so far I like where it’s going

[ashtraythief]

So, firstly, I just have to say, I mcfreaking LOVE your work. The Underneath series? Mwuah, chef’s kiss, changed my brain chemistry. I will forever be inspired by and cherish your work. Perhaps I can’t properly express my appreciation for your writing and the characterizations and world-building you’ve done, but please know that I appreciate your work dearly and it never fails to inspire me to write better every time that I read something of yours.

That being said, I was re-reading the Underneath series, yes? And I’m on the second chapter of Pressure Point where Busy tells Jared that Alona was the one to reach out to her. And I realized something. Although you’ve never touched upon it explicitly in your fics from what I can remember, I realized that, just like the other agents that aren’t on a case, her information is accessible on the FBI’s database, something of which we know Jared has access to. We also know that Alona is Jensen’s make-believe sister. In True Lies Jared mentions that Jensen had once told him that he and his sister look similar. What if Jared wants a photo of her? Or even just wants to know concretely how she looks like? I can’t remember if Jensen had actually ever shown Jared a photo of her — being that he was extremely protective of her because as we know he can’t let Jared get any sort of close to Jensen’s real identity which includes Alona in herself — but if he hasn’t yet, it makes me wonder (and scared!) how that might bring upon the beginning of the end for them. Because then Jared would be able to connect the dots. “Your sister looks like Special Agent Alona Tal? Your sister IS Special Agent Alona Tal???” And see the thing is, even Jensen doesn’t know that it was Alona that approached Busy. He just knows it was Morgan who set everything up. So he wouldn’t know showing Jared a picture of his “sister” is a deadly mistake.

Of course I’m not actually sure if Alona’s information is even on the database or if Jensen would ever show Jared a picture of his “sister,” but it was a possibility I realized while re-reading Pressure Point and rediscovering that it was Alona that approached Busy, not Morgan or one of the other agents.

Truthfully I’m scared of the possibility because obviously I love the boys and want them to live a happily ever after together! But I suppose I had to share my horrified thoughts with you and get some insight on this possibility.

Thank you again for all the work you do! I’ve gained so much from you allowing us to read your creations and I’m all the better for it. Keep doing what your doing and be proud of the work you are doing!

- An avid fan <3

Omg *flails wildly* nonnie, thank you so so much for your kind words, I'm kind of speechless. Obviously it means a lot to me when people enjoy my writing but knowing that it inspired someone is insane? And lovely? It's all the things and I have all the feelings now, and I can express them properly like the good writer I am lol.

As for your question, omg, that is a deep dive. And I get the anxiety, but I think the simple answer is that Jensen will never allow them to meet and never plans to show Jared a picture. Mostly it's because Jensen never thought the charade would go that far. I think Jensen never expected to be with Jared for years and that Jared wanting to see/meet his sister would eventually become a real problem. It could be now, but I think the longer Jensen is with Jared, the less he pretends to be in contact with his sister and as someone who doesn't have a lot of contact with his own family, I don't think that Jared finds it very strange. Esp bc Jensen's reasons for keeping her away from all the crime stuff are solid. So I think Alona/Jensen's sister aren't a problem. Jensen has other problems and liabilities that might be much more dangerous in the future 😅

And I can only return your sentiment, nonnie. My life has become so much better since I've started writing and sharing my stories. Sometimes knowing that people enjoy my fics so much they take the time to send me tumblr messages still feels absolutely batshit. In the best possible way. And while I am proud of (most lol) of my writing, l am most proud that I can write something that brings other people joy.

Thank you so so much 💙
