Byron: 18, 26, 58, Bellamy: 34, 35, Silas: 17, 29, 52 - no need to answer them all if that's too many of course but I went through your character tags and I am so interested in all three of these

omg omg omg of COURSE I am gonna answer all of these!!! i will put em under a cut tho in case not everybody wants to read all that lol

18: do they see themself as a leader or a follower? honestly, I think Byron wants neither. he’s grumpy and doesn’t really like hierarchies or working with people. that being said, though, he does end up taking on leadership roles at times. he runs his tavern like a tight ship, and he tries to provide a safe haven for anyone who needs it. so there are definitely times where he ends up taking charge as the manager and defender of that little sanctuary.

26: who do they miss? Byron misses his little brother. he failed to save that boy a long time ago, but he still wonders what kind of man he would have grown into.

58: what do they think their role in the party is? what is their role in actuality? in his opinion, Byron is the grumpy voice of reason. he can often be found saying things like “be safe!!!” and “don’t do warlock pacts, kids!!!” and “NO, do NOT vomit acid on my floor to try to summon an old god!!!” and while this is totally true, Byron is also just as unhinged as the rest of the party. this man has never followed his own advice ever. someone stop him.

34. which party member do they go to in a crisis? Bellamy would absolutely go to Lethe, who’s our resident blood hunter. both of them have immense expectations from their families on their shoulders, and only Lethe really knows how bad Bellamy’s situation is. they’re very similar, which means they’re each other’s biggest confidants. and they yell at each other to not be so reckless, because they are both self sacrificing idiots at times. (see: blood hunter.)

35. which party member do they worry for? Bellamy worries about EVERYONE oh my god. I would honestly say he worries most about Cadoras, who’s a disowned teenage wizard whose powerful parents are actively trying to kill him, (and is also the love of Bellamy’s life). but he’s the party’s favorite npc, not technically part of the party, so idk if he counts. Bellamy definitely worries a TON about Lethe, too, (see above). currently, though, i think Relban takes the cake? he is a tiny halfling who did fantasy shrooms and astral projected so hard he came face to face with a kraken that is apparently trying to eat his mind right now??? unclear??? but yeah Relban is currently staying in Bellamy’s room so someone can keep an eye on this poor boy.

17. what do they dream about, when their dreams are their own? currently, Silas doesn’t dream! he bought a magic badger plush that keeps away bad dreams! but normally he just has nightmares about the eldritch horrors he’s seen, as his mind tries to hold itself together with the weight of that unholy experience. fun!!

29. who would they save? who would they be saved by? Silas would save everyone he possibly could. no one would save him. (actually nowadays Thespa might actually come save him—which is a problem bc she’s the one he’s been ordered to spy on and possibly kill—he’s having a crisis about that—it’s fine—)

52. from whom do they seek validation? ohhh boy Silas LIVES for his handler’s validation, it is painful to watch. he knows his handler wouldn’t come save him, because the mission is all that matters, and he has to be okay with that. he has this utterly obsessive devotion to his organization, and his handler represents everything that stands for boiled down into a single person. Silas doesn’t even know his name. but he would die for that man without hesitation. and he doesn’t ask for anything in return. ✨fucked up child soldier paladins, man✨

tysm for these asks, I love talking about my blorbos from my ttrpgs!!!!!!!!!!!

26. who do they miss? Byron misses his little brother. he failed to save that little boy a long time ago, and he still sometimes wonders what kind of man he would’ve turned out to be. he misses his spouse Mer, too, because Mer travels a lot and isn’t always home. he misses the cleric. that almost-romance didn’t end well. yeahhhhh he misses a lot of folks.

#thanks for the ask!!#dnd shenanigans

LMFAO THE “what a weird ass dream” start has me REELING like oh honey you’re in for a rude awakening (literally)

Ok I paused to type that ^ and was gonna keep commenting in my notes as I went as if I were annotating but then I got too engrossed and forgot LMAOAO but anyways

STOPPPP KARASU??? SHDKSHSJS I will not swerve iwillnotswerve….but gardener Karasu AHHHDGHS it’s just giving more sweetheart humble Karasu I can’t

Ok pause SHSH the way you write Otoya is so?? >>>>>>> like ok I’m back on track now I want this Otoya LMAOAOA he’s like the perfect balance between go with the flow do what I want chill Otoya and deadly assassin ninja Otoya also that deal they made>>>>>> I’m seriously waiting for Y/n to succeed

Hiiragis also such an ass I love it because it also kinda reminds me of him in canon?? But I also never was really partial to him in the manga either so I love seeing him full villain here, also the constant distinction between Y/N being like her own (?) vs associated as. Hiiragi is something I really enjoy!! Idk I just kinda love the set up like we KNOW this mc is gonna be different and a lot more selfish and independent?? Like the constant distinction in identity is so satisfying to read for some reason like it’s refreshing to see y/n not try to reclaim the name

But yeah omg otoya <333 I mean I was already an otoya fan before hollyhock but this just opened my eyes to another Otoya Avenue and I LOVE IT can’t wait for the next installment…(also just out of curiosity how many installments do you think this’ll end up being? Very excited hehe)

Eita nation has been fed thank you for the feast

-Karasu anon

LMAOO i felt like it made sense that she wouldn’t believe what had happened considering she’s prone to nightmares and the entire situation is kinda crazy 😭 like yukimiya secretly betraying her family and otoya almost killing her…i wouldn’t want to believe it either 😔💔

HAHAHA omg well i’m glad you were engrossed in it at least 🤩🙏🏻

DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M SAYING ABT THEM LOWKEY HAVING A MEETCUTE like him waking her up while she’s sleeping on the bench swing in the garden surrounded by trees and flowers is so romance novel shoujo anime coded to me 😩 unfortunately y/n ruins it by being all “i can’t trust you 😐” and “you have a stupid name 😨” and “my half brother and father would kill you if they saw what you’re up to 🫣” LMAOOO poor karasu 😓 i’m excited to write more of their interactions though!!

AHHH YESSS i’ve been doing my best to incorporate his more chill go w the flow canon personality into his role as a ninja who kills whoever he’s told to!! it’s def a balance because if he’s too unserious then it’s almost disingenuous to the story itself but if he’s too proper and grave abt things he doesn’t feel like himself anymore?? idk but omg the deal…i’m so excited to write how it all plays out HAHAHA it’s going to be super fun i think!!

hiiragi is so horrible in this story but considering he was already kind of a douche in canon i don’t think it’s too terrible that i’m writing him like this!! i agree that he’s not one i cared much for in the manga either (he only even appears in epinagi for the most part and he’s antagonizing my man the whole time so we’re automatically enemies for that) so i don’t mind writing him in full villain mode here!! and yeah for y/n the name hiiragi has only ever been used to hurt her so even though she acknowledges that they’re her family and she’ll do her best to look out for them she’s also hyper aware that she’s different and her own person. her relationship to the hiiragi clan will evolve as the story goes on and her character develops and i think it’ll be interesting to watch how much things change from the beginning of the story to the end

HOLLYHOCK OTOYA MY BELOVED 💖💖💖 he and y/n are truly meant for each other…mr “your life is a game to me” and miss “i want you to belong to me” UM?? i almost considered going back and adding the toxic relationships tag but honestly the relationship itself isn’t even that toxic (if you can set aside all the murdering and death threats) it’s just between two very questionable individuals 😭 somehow it makes it much more fun to write than if they were perfect and normal though?? and honestly makes otoya more appealing to me LMAOAOA

hmm i’m not quite sure how many chapters it’s going to be but definitely a lot!! i’d be surprised if it was less than ten although ig it just depends on how long certain things take me to write 🤔 but i def anticipate it being on the longer side HAHA idk if it’ll quite get the opportunity to join the 100k+ club as many of my other fics have but for sure it’s going to be quite a lot…we’re still in the setup phase/prologue arc almost atm?? like these are relatively small-scale conflicts compared to what goes on later in the story so i don’t see it being less than 30-40k words (although again yk how accurate my predictions usually end up being — aka not very 😟)

replying to @aragornsrockcollection’s tags on this post separately because I need to scream back:

#SCREAMING #CRYING #omg im fascinated by how you made Maedhros realize they now have the power to get them ALL killed #and how he immediately has to put up barriers of fear to make sure that doesn’t happen #and hey you know who else was suicidally defiant? #Turgon #and Fingolfin #so really they’re getting it from both sides #and being raised by feanorians is about to add some nurture to that nature #maedhros is like YOU GONNA STAY YOU GONNA WORK #and soon these two are going to be the only thing that keeps their crops alive #and maedhros is going to regret this because being reliant on them is MUCH more vulnerable than what he is thinking will happen here #trying to cow them with fear is actually going to backfire when powerful cocky teenagers come into that defiant legacy #if maedhros were more morally depraved he’d try to mother gothel them at this point #them caring for the feanorians is the only thing that’s going to stop them trying to break free of their influence #and destroying both parties #but since that doesnt happen they must realize as they grow that maedhros is desperately trying to keep everyone alive despite everything #elros and elrond learning early that no one is wholely evil #and you can choose to understand even if you cannot condone #is like 90% of tolkien’s philosophy and why these characters are such a force for good #if maedhros and maglor had tried happy families instead of being honest about their deeds and character #they would not have developed that and love would not have grown between them #which is why i can’t quite get on board with ‘feanorians right or wrong’ elrond #it kills what i like about this relationship #they have to organically realize maedhros’s threat is empty #(and it is they hold no silmaril and maedhros proved at doriath he desperately did not want to harm children) #in order to see the suffering that make the feanorian’s sympathetic

Because YES, YES, BOLDING MINE BECAUSE YES, YOU GET ME. First of, YES, Elros and Elrond get “willing and able to spit in the face of literal gods” from literally every part of their lineage (was, like, Nimloth normal about this? possibly, but almost certainly not.) The premise of their lives has is that the nightmares of their childhood (”eat your vegetables or the Fëanorians will get you”) came true, with blood and wrath, and then...took them in, and were consistently kind and caring, or at least, as kind and caring as their worn-down bright spirits could be, and became familiar and loved. By the time they’re teenagers, Elrond and Elros fear neither brood of Morgoth nor bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, and when they arrive in Gil-galad’s moving camp like a third of the way into the War of Wrath, everything authority figure who interacts with them gets the distinct sense that these twins, while consistently respectful and obedient to whatever military hierarchy they slide into, are only doing so probationarily. And somehow, being too disparaging about the Fëanorians is a black mark on that probationary judgement.

Because YES, they UNDERSTAND the Sons of Fëanor. They CHOSE to understand (no one so young should be experienced enough in the horrors of the world to be making such choices, but the incontrovertible fact is that Elrond and Elros did not have time for a “childhood.”) I don’t think it’s necessarily that Maedhros didn’t have the moral blackness to try gaslighting these kids so much as he didn’t have the emotional capacity for it - he’s attacked innocent cities and slaughtered refugees of his own people, he’s gotten friend after friend killed, loyal follower after loyal follower, cousin after brother after brother. What’s a little emotional manipulation? If it was the only way to keep everyone left alive, he’d...try.

But the only act he can consistently maintain is that he’s several safe feet from the cliff of complete mental/emotional/physical collapse, rather than walking along the edge. (It isn’t a very good act, if you know him.) And Maglor, who has a little more emotional capacity left, and who has always been a skilled actor, also has a little more moral reluctance - and anyway it’s not necessary, because from the start they’re brutally honest about what’s going on here (emphasis on brutally). All children appreciate honesty from adults. And so love grows between them in truth.

The Fëanorians are monsters, Elros and Elrond will admit that freely. They don’t flinch from any sort of slaughter - they’ve seen Maedhros kill an elf for stealing a cake of lembas with as much ease as he killed a deer for meat or an orc in battle. The first thing Maglor ever said to them as a lie, a soothing, beguiling Song to lure them out of their hiding spot and into his arms. They have done nearly every terrible thing there is to do in the world and they will do more if they must, for the Oath drives them and they take strength from it.

But the first thing Maedhros said to them was a lie, too, they eventually realized: “If your mother does not give us the Silmaril, you will be killed.” And there have been no lies since, save the half-truths adults use to shield children from the horrors of the world (and few of those. Who has time, when the horrors are all on their doorstep no matter what anyone says?) The Oath drives them and they take strength from its ceaseless fire, but only because they have so little strength to draw from anywhere, anything else. And they can still decide where to be driven - that is why Elrond and Elros are here now, with the Host of the West. “Two Silarmils are better than one,” Maedhros had finally said, after days of debate. “Morgoth cannot stand against all the Valar against him, this we know - and nor can we stand idly by while they fight our war. But there is no way Gil-galad, Arafinwë, or Eonwë himself will believe we mean alliance truly unless we give up our hostages. So you two will bear the message yourselves, and stay.”

They are terrible and fey. Maglor’s mood swings violently and his tongue is always sharp even when his smile is bright (but he usually avoided them when he felt a truly black mood coming on. Sometimes they had to seek him out to tug him gently from the depressive ones). Maedhros woke screaming in the Black Speech some nights, curses that made the very stones shiver in fear. Sometimes he woke pleading in the same fell speech, pleading for or to an every-changing variety of names in Quenya. Growing half-elves, growing at Mannish speed, because there’s time for nothing else, sleep like Men rather than Elves; each night that there wasn’t an active emergency, and some that there was, Maglor sang to them - not particularly enchantingly, just lullabies recognizably full of love. The few times he was unavailable - away on necessary hunting forays, or too injured to sing - Maedhros came and sang instead, and held them gently through the anxious fear. If his motions and melodies seemed more reflexive than truly affectionate, still they had to wonder at a monster for whom gentle care was as reflexive as the cutting of throats.

Some of their followers were the worse sort of Men or Elf, the kind eager to follow any campaign with slaughter and prizes at the end. Some had been loyal since Tirion, faltering and fraying and staying true along with their lords. Some were just throwing their lots in with the only fortress left standing against Morgoth for hundreds of miles. All were welcome so long as they stood staunchly side by side against the enemy, and Elrond and Elros did consider going back, or never leaving in the first place, no matter what their guardians decided, because they know that sometimes (often), the Fëanorians, lords and people alike, hold to them for strength, and what will become of them all without us to look after them?

(They are no strangers to that weight; they never were. Often the people of Sirion looked at them the same way. Sometimes even their mother did, though she tried to hide it.)

(A millennia or so later, Elrond is going to come back from a visit to Numenor shaking his head and admit to Celebrian, who is visiting Lindon for a few years, “[Newly crowned Great-etc Nephew] is so certain that he has to heal every hurt and mend every fault in the world... I cannot but think that it is because of how much weight his father put on his shoulders, in his grief after [Great-etc Nephew’s mother] died. I had hoped he might grow out of it, but he only seems to have grown more determined in it.” And Celebrian, young but wise, will smile and say fondly, “You hypocrite,” and Elrond will think on it for many years.)

“Guardians” they do call them, and nothing else, however they might feel in their hearts, because this was another thing Elrond and Elros discussed and decided between them: their father is missing, until he’s suddenly the one sailing a star through the sky. Either way, they have no other. Understanding and even love may both be true, but matters of principle can still stand.

The Fëanorians don’t fight alongside the Host of the West, for the most part. Nobody really wanted to cooperate that much, and why risk things started well turning to evil ends? Sometimes they arrive at battles to fill gaps in the line, then disappear again into the soon-to-be-flooded woods. Other times, the only word of them is when a scout hears distant bursts of Maglor’s terrible war-songs, or comes across fields of slain orcs. Once or twice, Elrond and Elros are called into the command tend to verify a letter. “Yes, that’s Maglor’s writing and sealing charm,” Elrond says with relief, scanning the hasty scrawl: Don’t cross the Gelion you idiots, it’s a trap. If you’re so worried about the Laquendi there, we’ll go make sure they’re alright.

“But is it truthful?” Arafinwë asks with no small concern. “No offense, but it’s not as though Fëanor’s sons have cared for civilians before. If it’s even a trap at all - obviously they have experience in this, but we know the Enemy’s forces are divided...”

Elros looks at him like he was an idiot. “Those were Caranthir’s lands. And if Maedhros says the Enemy is laying a trap, then the Enemy is laying a trap.”

The last time Elrond and Elros speak together with the Sons of Fëanor, there are also no lies. Technically. Maglor and Maedhros both just by unspoken agreement give them the strong impression that they are very likely to accept Eonwë’s offer of sailing and pleading their case, when in reality they’ve barely discussed it yet themselves. This is, the Sons of Fëanor both think, perfectly in line with the half-truths one tells children to shield them a little longer from the horrors of the world.

(Two hundred years later, Elros will say thoughtfully to his brother, while they watch Elros’s grandchildren play on one of Numenor’s many beaches, “I think I understand now, you know... It’s so terribly easy to disappoint your children.” It will take Elrond longer to agree - he’d believed more, walking away through the camp at the end of the War of Wrath, that their stubborn faith was going to be justified; and he doesn’t have Elros’s deadline to sort out his affairs. But six millennia later, he’ll decide that forgiveness, love, and two Ages of the world can outweigh some principles, and anyway, however he got this way, he’s too much of a healer to leave anyone so wounded behind. So he’ll give Galadriel and Mithrandir warning, though not ask for permission, and ride down the shore until he finds his foster-father, and bring him home at last.)

(And if it takes a soothing, beguiling Song to lure Fëanor’s last son, skittish with isolation and more than half lost in memory, onto a ship, or at least to a campfire to discuss getting onto a ship....well, it’s not the only reprise in the Noldolante. And it is a healer’s prerogative, sometimes, to help even those patients who resist the aid.)

#me: i'm gonna reply enthusiastically but REASONABLY quickly to this #dark kermit!me: or you could vent most of your kidnap family headcanons all at once #me: OR I COULD VENT MOST OF MY KIDNAP FAMILY HEADCANONS ALL AT ONCE!#the silmarillion #elrond #elros #maglor #maedhros #peredhil #feanor and feanor's kin #…ok maybe next ask me about my thoughts about the last followers of the sons of feanor or #the maglor/earendil 90% sane courtly romance of my heart #my fic

(Different anon) Oh are we sending horny on main asks now? Cause here is my plea for fic ideas I don’t have the follow through to write

Voyeurism. Dream’s abilities set him up perfectly for it and I feel like people only briefly touch on it then make excuses and say ‘oh no he’s too respectful.’ Na fam I don’t want respect. I want nasty, shameful, lust-filled yearning voyeurism.

I want Dream to watch Hob and let Hob’s wet dreams and lascivious daydreams to fill him (metaphorically and physically). I want him to feel salacious and prurient at his own desires but unable to look away — the temptation to indulge too strong.

Alternatively — Hob loves watching Dream. He’s greedy about learning every little thing he can about his stranger. And that absolutely includes seeing if he can catch his stranger in a moment of self pleasure. He wants to know every little detail. Every curve of his body and every hitch of his breath. He wants to know what can drive Dream to lose his inhibitions and project his lust across every dream in the world.

Alternatively 2 electric bugaloo — Outsider POV. Dreams and nightmares watching their lord and his human in the dreaming and/or waking. Nice chance to throw some exhibitionism in there if you want. But they’re watching thinking they’re hidden. That their lord is too caught up in the moment. And they’re getting their own pleasure from it. (Really your choice of who fits in nicely here)

I just - how are there so criminally few things tagged with this in this fandom? (As of writing this ask the answer is 34 total. For every pairing with half of that Dreamling but even less with it as any kind of significant tag)

Omg anon you are so RIGHT !!! Exhibitionism is a huge guilty pleasure for me (I have many, as you can tell). I am obsessed with the idea of Dream watching Hob over the centuries, both in waking and dreaming moments. And maybe there's a little bit of Hob that feels it, his intuition is pretty good and he gets this feeling of being watched and - he fucking loves it. He doesn't care who it is that's watching, he gets off on it anyway. He gets himself into all sorts of situations and he doesn't care who he's fucking or being fucked by because 85% of the time he's imagining it's his Stranger anyway. Dream is just sitting there in the dreaming, watching as Hob gets railed yet again by some tall handsome individual, and he knows that Hob is thinking of him, imagining him, wanting him. Dream is so utterly ashamed of his habit of watching Hob but. He's not gonna stop. No way. Not when Hob looks into the middle distance and smirks knowingly, like he's 100% aware of Dream’s presence as a voyeur.

I also just really want more of the Corinthian watching Dream and Hob together and narrating the whole thing and generally teasing them and then dissappearing afterwards bc he gets all shy about it dhjgfewf

#anon you are so right more voyeurism pls!!!#dreamling #nsft #ask things

Letter From The Road

WWE Superstar: Rhea Ripley Word Count: 408 ~A series in which I write letters from Superstars to their partner or friends back home while they’re away on tour.~

This has some mentions of smutty stuff like 👀. This is my first time writing a Rhea only piece and I hope I did her justice. Thanks so much to @writtingrose for helping me double checking that it sounded well. 🧡 And to @hungmanhorsecarriage who requested this. I hope you enjoy babes😘 _________ Tag list: @hungmanhorsecarriage @writtingrose @omg-im-such-a-masochist @sjwrites22 @sassymox @new-zealand-chic @mrsacklesevansmgk @xladyxfatex @biforrollynch @irish-newzealand-idian-dutch @demonqueen29 @itsicantbelievethis666 @lilred91 @xbreezymeadowsx @rebellious-desires @thiccc-rider-mcintyre @melblacc @letsgivethisonemoreshot @alination @ava-valerie @shortyiceheart @serpantscorpio8497 @thatpanpal @thatnerdwriter @wrestlersownmyheart @vebner37 @whenimakeitshine1234 @cuzimacomedian

If you wanna be added to the list lemme know. _________ Dear Princess, First off it’s me Rhea, your favorite person. Goth nightmare, the love of your life, your girlfriend. The main person on this floating rock that makes your life fun. I’m doing well this tour feels like it’s taking forever. Don’t get me wrong but I miss you like crazy. I need to be with my baby again! I decided to write you a letter since you went and dropped your phone in the toilet. Only you baby, only you. I imagine that you were probably watching something, or you had it on something listening to music, and then it fell in.

Until you get a new one I needed some private way to talk to you and Damian suggested writing a letter. Like mate, how am I supposed to tell her something and get a quick response if I write this? But he said it’ll work. He also suggests we get back up phones so while I’m on tour if one of us fucks up their phone we got the other one.

I just barely managed to finish the backup of our pictures. That would have sucked if they were lost. Especially since some of them are a little…naughty. Like that one of you laying spread out on the bed, completely fucked out. That’s one of my favorites, oh oh, or the one where you’re on your knees for me, your pretty lips wrapped around my strap.

I can see it so clearly when I close my eyes, your panties soaked as you rub your thighs together. Love seeing my princess so desperate for me to fuck her. Think when we do it the first time I'm going to make you watch me fuck you in the mirror.

Yeah, that sounds perfect.I bet your panties are wet just reading this, aren’t they? Well you know the rules no touching yourself without mommy’s permission. And since you don’t have any way to facetime you’re outta luck. ;)

You know something? I’m actually enjoying writing this letter to you. Just the thought of your flushed face reading over these words mmm. I’m gonna have to do this at home, write you a filthy letter and watch as you read it. Seeing how my words affect you, is one of my favorite things. Mommy can’t wait to get home to you again princess, keep between those legs wet for me. I’ll be with you again soon. I love you xx Rhea

My Top Posts in 2022:

Some days, when my mental health is bad, I have to remind myself that my husband and I are in the same boat of struggling with Doing Tasks

I have to remind myself that even though we’re equal partners, that doesn’t mean we’re equal all the time. There will be days where he has to put more effort forward to help me, and there are days where I put forth more to help him

I have to remind my brain that the anxiety-induced overgeneralizing making me think I have been putting forth more effort for longer than he has and it’s his turn to finally do something around the house and help me is a cognitive distortion

That doesn’t mean I can just snap out of it, but it helps me be patient with both him and me

Tonight is one of those nights

Guess who might have COVID -_-

I mean, I’ve managed to go this long without catching it and now I feel like I’ve got a crummy head-cold but my husband had to take a test for work and his was looking like it was positive and I know he got me sick

At least we’re both vaccinated and the symptoms aren’t terribly bad atm

But we’re gonna get one of the longer tests to make sure

Still laughing my head off at how unprepared the Empires SMP was for Hermit Efficiency™

Seriously every time an Empires player stops by the Hermit area they always are like “wtf how did you get this set up so fast?!” And my husband and I look at each other and say, “They’re Hermits!”

Fanfiction would you rather?

Tagged by @hellishgoat! Thank you for tagging me, buddy!!! 🤗💞

Friends to lovers or enemies to lovers? Both!

Be forced to watch a terrible movie adaptation of your favorite fic or an amazing adaptation of your least favorite fic? Watch a terrible adaptation. Sometimes the terrible ends up good!

Read fanfic chapters backwards, last to first, or read them as parsed from google translate? Parsed I guess. I never read anything parsed from google translate, so idk how it would work if I were to try it lmao.

Consume every fanfic as an audiobook read by a monotone narrator, or have to read every fanfic on a tiny printed piece of paper written in yellow highlighter? Audiobook. I have a monotone voice anyway, so it works out!

Get a tattoo on your body of every fanfic title you read, or never read fanfic again? Uh, get a tattoo!

Vampire Au or Werewolf Au? VAMPIRE AU!!!!!!!!!! (I’m already doing a vampire au fic, and already it’s fun, omg. Vampire jokes, and a human screwing a vampire while the vampire bites and feeds in the middle of sex. Vampire’s fucked up because they love the human but knows they can’t be with the human forever and does not want the human to be what they are, and the vampire can’t be with the human during the day and can’t touch the human’s skin under the sunlight, even though touching is their love language. Plus, vampires are just so fucking extra for no apparent reason other than because they’ve lived for hundreds and thousands of years and to them, time doesn’t exist; so they can just do what they want.)

Get sold to a boy band, or be stuck in a time loop with your love interest? Time loop 😔

Kill your favorite character, or marry your least favorite character? Marry least favorite character...

Meet your love interest in a coffee shop AU or a college AU? Uh... I actually don’t mind both.

Have your fic history leaked, or never read another fanfic again? Leak the fics, I don’t care. Most of the ones I like/have read are gone, anyway!

Be able to read amazing fanfiction but it always has an mpreg plot twist, or only read bad fanfiction for the rest of your life? ... I guess read bad fiction.

Gay ships or straight ships? I prefer straight ships, but I actually don’t mind gay ships.

Ship a rarepair with almost no content, or a pair with lots of content but almost all of it is cracky nightmare smut? Ship rarepair, omg. I wouldn’t know how to deal with cracky nightmare smut.

See your OTP shatter years after their happily ever after, or never have the happily ever after happen in the first place? I’m gonna say shatter, so that way after it shatters, they’ll find some way to rekindle that relationship; be it if they return to being together or remain as friends on good terms.

Read a poorly written but complete fanfic, or a literary masterpiece last updated June 2013? Literary masterpiece.

Read SSSS++++ tier smut with almost 11k words, or 70k words worth of fluff? BOTH!!!!

Read only alternate universe fanfics, or only canon fanfics? ALTERNATE UNIVERSE ALL THE WAY!

Introduce fanfics to your normie friend with an ongoing smut fic with great writing, or a complete fluff fic with terrible writing? Complete fluff fic. I don’t want any of my normie friends knowing I write smut. Do you know how much it would damage my image as the good girl in the group?

Read your NOTP with all your favorite tropes and perfect characterization, or your OTP with tropes you despise and inconsistent characterization? NOTP. They’re actually quite entertaining to read, too, just as much as OTP fics.

Read a fic with an interesting concept but very poor writing, or read a fic with an uninteresting concept with really good writing? Interesting concept. I can excuse the poor writing, I’ll understand what they’re trying to convey.

Have a major character death, or have a bed sharing scene but it's a ship you hate? I feel like it just depends. Like if it’s a major character I hate, I could care less if they die? But like if it’s any of my fav characters, I just can’t do that, my friend. I’m gonna have to go with bed sharing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can handle it...

Read a fanfic that has consistent grammar and spelling mistakes, or one that the characters are wildly different than canon? Grammar and spelling mistakes :3

Every fanfic includes Jackson Wang, or every fanfic includes at least one NSFW moment? I don’t know who Jackson Wang is, and I had to look it up if it was like a new fanfic term I’m just now hearing about 😂 But I’d go with at least one NSFW moment. IT’S FUN!

Read the most absolutely messed up dead dove with your most wholesome otp, or subject yourself to 100,000 words of your NOTP all written in a solid block with no punctuation and horrible grammar? Dead dove ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have the power to read every fanfic in existence, or have the power to make any ship canon? Have the power to read every fanfic in existence.

Have your OTP get together in canon but one of them dies in a tragic way, or all members of your OTP survive but get together with other people? Get together with other people. I’ve read angsty fics where both were like that, but I can handle the separation more than having one or both of them end up dead.

Read a cringy 70 chapter Harry Styles mafia AU, or a highschool Kpop AU y/n fic horrible grammar? I really want neither of them, but I can tolerate the mafia one, I guess...

Accidentally send your boss a super detailed smut fic, or read a super detailed smut fic about your boss? Omg, noooooooo! Eh... If I were to read it, NOT out loud, I’d be alright with it. However, I’d be looking at my boss completely different and never the same again.

Read smut fanfic aloud to your parents, or submit fanfic to the employer of your dream job? Hell no, I would not read that shit out loud in front of my parents! They would definitely force me to go to church, then! I’d rather submit to an employer. Maybe they’d want me on board to make a project out of it; that’d be cool.

Pine after an oblivious love interest, or be the oblivious love interest being pined after? Pin after an oblivious love interest.

Hanahaki disease, or your soulmates first words to you tattooed on your body (and they're really stupid)? Lmfao, the tattoo one!

Be an Alpha, Beta, or Omega in omegaverse? Neither. I am unfamiliar with omegaverse.

Read a fanfic where the characters turn into furries, or a fanfic where the characters all get pregnant? Omg, neither?! No no, I don’t want any of these! 😂

Be able to resurrect dead fics, or have the power to create of plethora of new fics effortlessly? Power to create! I have so many ideas that I need to unleash effortlessly.

Tagging (no pressure!!!): @alwaysupatnight, @lilmissuncreative, @musicrunsthroughmysoul, @chronic-ghost, @ambrosiaswhispers, @fortysevenswrites, @bensonstablers, and anyone else who wants to do this!!

#hellishgoat #personal

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Episode 1 SPOILERS

If you need to blacklist, I will be tagging all things as #tfatws and/or #tfatws spoilers

My roommate keeps calling this The Falcon and the Snowman. I'm not entirely sure it's accidental.

I was going to watch at midnight and then fell asleep. Betrayal. I will not forgive this, brain.

Bucky Barnes character development. Sam Wilson character development. Six full episodes of Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson. When we watched Civil War, did we think we'd actually be lucky enough to get a buddy idiot cop movie? Let alone six hours of it? #blessed

What are we expecting here? I have no idea, honestly. I think all the clips we've been seeing are from the first couple episodes, so they've hidden any sort of plot from us. We know Baron Zemo's around with his stupid purple ski mask and burning hatred for superheroes and probably specifically for Bucky who he tried (and honestly kind of succeeded, before then ultimately failing dramatically) to set up. And Sharon Carter will turn up at some point. OMG guys, Sharon Carter character development!

I'm just here for the buddy bickering and badassery.

SPOILERS BELOW

New World Order: Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes realize that their futures are anything but normal. *Realize*? lol

Also, it's tagged as "science fiction, action-adventure, buddy" Awww.

Aww, Sam looks sad as he gazes at The Shield.

"How's it feel?" "Like it's someone else's." "It isn't."

That's right, Sam! Listen to that voice. That's yours now, baby.

We're just going to roll right into a mission. Rescuing a Captain Vassant, whose plane fell out of contact shortly after take off, from the ridiculously named group LAF, somewhere over Tunisia. Sam's got to keep LAF from doing bad things and the US Military can't be seen doing anything blah blah blah, violation of treaties, yada yada. And Sam's all "blah blah got it". We're on the same page, Sam and me. Nobody wants to hear it, Briefing Exposition Guy.

We will have a Lt. Torres on the ground following along and offering helpful commentary as they go.

Sam is warned to be subtle as he falls backwards out of the cargo plane in very dramatic fashion and then swoops off on his brightly colored wings. lol

Sam gets to the captain's plane but the pilot is dead and a shady LAF guy is piloting. Oh no. Hey, it's Batroc. Last seen getting his ass kicked by Captain America in "CA: The Winter Soldier". He makes some jokes about their prisoner - presumably Captain Vassant. Awful cocky for a guy with a history of getting stomped on, you know.

Anyway, he's about to get his ass kicked by a Captain America again as Sam breaks into the plane. You might just be using wing shields now, Sam, but you're Captain America in my heart. Also, hey, dumb bad guys, don't open fire with an automatic weapon inside a plane or the ricochets might kill your pilot. And his body will slump forward and put the plane into a steep dive.

Batroc distracts Sam while the bad guys gather up Vassant and jump out of the plane with him. They have wingsuits, but Sam has, you know, wings. And like a jet pack. Don't hit the canyon walls, Sam!

Somehow the bad guys have waiting gunships. Did they expect to jump out of the plane over this canyon? I can only assume. Red Wing takes care of one of the helicopters. Man these guys are a pain in the ass. They wing suit into one of the many many helicopters that just happen to be right in the right spot. They're racing for the Libyan border. Then Sam shows up, they throw Vassant out the copter again — this guy is having the worst day — and glide into another chopper.

Man ANOTHER gunship? The hell? They're causing serious ecological damage to this canyon, what with all the zillionty missiles they're firing at Sam. How strapped is this thing?

LT Torres is trying to keep up, and you know, trying to get Sam to not fly into Libyan territory and cause an international incident or some such. Sam is struck by inspiration and not by a missile. But, the missiles are following Sam and Sam is following Batroc's chopper. Sam zooms through the open doors of the chopper, knocks poor Vassant out of the chopper AGAIN (but then catches him), and LAF blows up their own helicopter. Alas, Batroc escaped.

Sam saves the day and LT Torres is like super excited. Don't break your humvee, Torres.

Torres and Sam stop by a tea shop in Tunis, or somewhere. Sam's trying to fix his tech that got a little shot up and Torres buys the tea. A man comes up and thanks Sam for saving his wife. It's sweet. And then Torres gets up and wanders about a bit with his phone as he exposits about LAF. Is Torres about to become a pin cushion? Only instead of pins it'll be bullets? I'm not feeling good about his continued health. He's too cute and earnest.

Oh, he's looking for some sort of hidden, augmented reality tag on the walls. A red handprint, id'ing some group that calls themselves the Flag Smashers. Bad guys are really scraping the bottom of the evil name barrel. Anyway, they think the world was better during the blip. Nothing says better like mass failure of infrastructure and probably world wide famine. They want a unified world without borders. I have big doubts the world would be a borderless utopia during a blip-like event. Power vacuums invite trouble, seldom unity.

Anyhoo. Sam kind of agrees with me, "every time something gets better for one group, it gets worse for another".

Torres will track the 'online chatter'. But he's also heard some wacky things about Steve Rogers, conspiracy theory stuff, "they think that he's in a secret base on the moon, looking down over us". LOL. What? Is Steve a moon angel now? or Santa Claus? "You didn't like fly him to the moon?" Sam assures him that's all very much silly foolishness. Steve's in Boca working on his tan.

Sam's back in D.C. giving a talk about Steve at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space museum. "And he mastered posing stoically". Hey, I have that picture. Also, RHODEY! Hi Rhodey!

"A few months ago, billions of people reappeared after 5 years away. Sending the world into turmoil." Again. I know this was meant to come out before WandaVision, but timeline-wise this works better.

"We need new heroes. Ones suited for the times we're in. Symbols are nothing without the women and men that give them meaning." Sam holds up The Shield. "I don't know if there's been a greater symbol." Aww, he's retiring the shield. He hands it off to museum people and they put it in a display case. I think Rhodey has some thoughts about this. I suspect Rhodey maybe doesn't agree.

Sam and Rhodey wander through the Cap exhibit and Sam's talking about how when he left (or got snapped, it's not like you had a choice about that, Sam), his nephews were babies and now they're little men. Awww. Rhodey says Sam should bring them to D.C., he'll teach them how to fly, "the right way". lol.

Rhodey says it's crazy to think nobody will be carrying the shield. Sam points out they went 70 years without, so like …

Rhodey wants to know why Sam didn't take up the mantle. BTW, this is a cool exhibit, marvel peeps. Sam says it feels like it belongs to someone else … Steve. Rhodey says everything's broken. Allies are enemies, things are torn apart. People are looking for somebody to make it better. Having made his pitch, Rhodey leaves Sam to stare mournfully at the shield. I think you're afraid to pick up the shield, Sam. Afraid you won't measure up. But, you can do it. I have faith. Also, Steve was kind of a disaster in his own way. He wasn't perfect, which was the point of Steve as a hero. Pick up the shield, Sam.

A fancy hotel, chatting people in the lobby, up to a mezzanine, a group of very Russian oligarch looking dudes and their security. And lo! A metal arm punches through a wall and the Winter Soldier, looking very Winter Soldiery appears and stabs some dudes in the neck. This has a sepia, dream/nightmareness to it. Oh yeah, it's his old shiny silver arm. Totally a nightmare/very bad memory. "Hail Hydra" and he kills the head Russian guy. The poor dude who was just chatting in the lobby is caught trying to get into his door. He swears he didn't see anything, begs for his life and the Winter Soldier shoots him. Bucky wakes up, breathing heavily. Poor Bucky.

Glad he's in therapy. I'm sure goat herding in Wakanda was good and peaceful and all, but, goats will only get you so far. Also glad we've skipped the "wanted terrorist" part and gone on to traumatized hero.

I get the feeling he's not the best patient. He lies to his therapist straight off. Twice. lol. "You're a civilian now. With your history the government needs to know, you're not gonna … [therapist makes stabby motion]." lol (I love this actress by the way. She's been in everything for ages. She's great). "It's a condition of your pardon. So tell me about your most recent nightmare." "I didn't have a nightmare." She starts writing, Bucky objects and tells her she's being passive-aggressive, but he gives in.

He has a list of amends to make and three rules to follow. He crossed a name off. There's a Hydra pawn who's a senator, he helped her get into office. "After Hydra disbanded, she continued to use the power I gave her." Hmm. He tracks her car and listens in on her plotting to have a congressman killed.

* Rule number one: Can't do anything illegal.

He's hijacked the Senator's car and is remote controlling it, making it drive all out of control and freaking her out. He says he was collecting intel to give to an aide to convict her. Absolutely only did that. Not one illegal thing about that at all, no ma'am.

"Rule number two?" "Hmm. What was rule number two?" "Nobody gets hurt. It's a big one." "Then why isn't it rule number one?" Oh, Bucky, you're a jackass.

* Rule number two: Nobody gets hurt.

"I didn't hurt anybody. Promise." He totally broke a dude's hand and then punched him in the face, knocking him out. I mean, there's levels of 'hurt' I suppose.

"The whole point of making amends is to fulfill rule number three." "Of course I completed rule number three."

* Rule number three: "I am no longer the Winter Soldier. I am James 'Bucky' Barnes. And you're part of my efforts to make amends." He says to the corrupt senator he's just been terrifying. And then he walks away as a tac team pulls up. lol.

What I'm getting from this therapy session is that Bucky is a big fat fibber.

Also he's got a little black book full of names. Including, I see, H. Zemo. That's not going to go as smoothly as taking down a shady government fatcat, I think.

"So you did it all right, but it didn't help with the nightmares?" "Well, like I said, I didn't have any." Fibber.

People wanna help you Bucky and you can trust them. "I trust people," he mutters grumpily. She asks for his phone and he hands it over. Look, lady! Trust! Probably government mandated trust, but still!

"You don't have ten phone numbers on this thing." … I don't have ten phone numbers on my phone. :( "Oh, and you've been ignoring texts from Sam." Well …

"I am the only person you have called all week. That is so sad." lol. Tough love from the therapist. I'm feeling a little judged myself, though. "You're alone." ALRIGHT DON'T RUB IT IN!

"You're a hundred years old. You have no history. No family—" "Are you lashing out at me, doc? Because that's really unprofessional." I love you Bucky, but you are a disaster patient.

Bucky relents. "I'm trying. This is new for me. I didn't have a moment to deal with anything. I had a little calm in Wakanda. And other than that, I just went from one fight to another for 90 years." Get this man a goat farm!

"So now that you've stopped fighting, what do you want?" "Peace." A goat farm. "That is utter bullshit." lol "You're a terrible shrink." "I was an excellent soldier, so I saw a lot of dead bodies and I know how that can shut you down. And if you are alone, that is the quietest, most personal hell." Get some friends, Bucky. "I know you've been through a lot. But, you've got your mind back. You're being pardoned. These are good things. You're free." "To do what?"

On the streets of Brooklyn. Bucky breaks up an argument between neighbors about trashcans. Hey, Bucky has a friend! Yori Nakajima who's probably like 80+. Did you babysit him back in the day, Buck? har har. They were going to meet for lunch, but some punk named Unique was putting his trash into Mr. Nakajima's trash can and just derailed the whole day. The horror. No joke, though, people get so nutted up about that. It's weird to me. Of course, I did also have a neighbor who never put out his trash for pickup and just snuck out at night before trash day and distributed his garbage into in other people's bins. Cheapass.

"Hey man, I'm Unique. Like Monique but it's got a 'u' in there for uniqueness." Yeah, you should have let Yori smack him, Buck.

Well now Yori is just not in the mood for lunch. Bucky tries to persuade him, but one grumpy old man out grumps the other. "But Izzy. We always go to Izzy on Wednesday. What if I buy?" "Fine. But no talking." lol. BFFs!

Yori is looking at the obituaries. "Look, nobody made it past 90 this week." Bucky tsks "So young, such a shame."

Bucky kind of smiles at the girl behind the counter at the sushi joint, Yori tells him he should ask her out. Bucky makes a "are you nuts, shut up" face. That doesn't stop Yori. "He would like to take you out on a date. Maybe to bingo or a night of pinochle." You're a wild man, Yori!

She's down by it, though, and she and Yori hammer out the details while Bucky's like uh, okay, so wow, that's happening. "There's a dance to these things. You can't … you gotta warm up and I haven't danced since 1943."

Yori sees something and suddenly gets sad. His son loves red bean mochi. His son was a consultant, working abroad and he was killed. Oh. Oh Bucky, why you gotta … Yori's son was the innocent witness he killed at the hotel in his nightmare/memory. "I will never know what really happened to him." Brutal.

Delacroix, Louisana

Sam's on his way home. Wilson Family Seafood. Aww. His nephews are helping mom with the catch. "Blue for the snapper, orange for the white fish," Sam calls out. The boys run over to him. They do look like fine gentlemen. It's weird, Sam, I get it. I recently realized my oldest nephew will be 13 in May and it's like "no, he's only in kindergarten, what are you talking about?"

His sister greets him then tells him he's looking all sneaky. Sam deflects. Their boat has seen better days. The Paul & Darlene. Aww. Is that his parents names? "Baby being held together by duct tape and prayers." Just needs to float long enough for his sister to sell it. But Sam's all, uh I thought we were going to *discuss* that. Uh oh, family drama. "We did, and then you were off fighting Dr Space Cape or whatever (lol), while I was holding it together for five long years." Ouch.

Sam is not down by this selling the boat thing. His sister doesn't seem to think they're in a position to hold on to it. Also, she'd really like to not hash this out on the pier with like twenty other people around, Sam.

They get into more of an argument on the boat. The family biz is not doing well financially. Sarah won't let Sam help for some reason, and he makes some comment about the house and loans and she punches him in the chest. lol "I forgot how hard you hit."

Sam insists they can turn it around, consolidate loans. And she's all, been there done that, I've come to terms with this. He's a persistent little jerk. This is such a perfectly sibling argument. Notably he has moved himself out of punching range.

Aww, she wants to believe he can save the boat, but she has DOUBTS.

Back in Brooklyn. Bucky attempts his date. He turns up at the end of the sushi girl's shift and gives her flowers. "Well, if that's not the most adorably old-fashioned thing anyone's ever done."

They chat while she tidies. He tried online dating oh lol. It didn't take. She tells him "You sound like my dad. Wait how old are you?" "Hundred and six." Oh yeah, what a funny joke. Next she wants to know why he's wearing gloves. "I have … um … poor circulation." He grimaces at himself and glances out the window. Smooth as silk, Bucky. Smoooooth.

"Let's play a game." Now, I'm thinking like some weird dating word/get-to-know-each-other game or something. I don't know. But, nope, she means Battleship. lol. I like her.

The drinking game version of battleship. Bucky sucks at it. "You sure can drink." "Yeah, well." Super assassin, unfair advantage.

We're just going to rub in this whole The Winter Soldier killed Yori's son thing, as she says it's nice that he's spending time with the old man. Since he was all messed up after his son was murdered and how it was extra hard because he didn't know what happened. I'm not sure this is healthy, Bucky.

"There's no word for someone whose kids die." Okay, ouch, lady, jeez. Bucky looks like he wants to puke. Or crawl into a deep dark hole. Or something. "Because it's the worst thing that can happen." Bucky nopes right out the front door. So, maybe they should have played pinochle instead.

Bucky goes to Yori. Are you really going to tell this man you murdered his son when you were a brain-washed Hydra assassin? Yori asks how the date was, and Bucky sees a shrine to the man's son in the apartment. Poor Bucky. He makes some excuse about owing Yori for lunch and leaves. Yori's name is in his book of amends. :(

Back in Louisiana. Sam and the kids are packing up meals. His sister maybe wants to sell meals in addition to fish. Sam says they've got to get going to their appointment at the bank. She's says it's in an hour. Sam must be just the worst brother to live with "There's no such thing as on time. You're either early or late. Pick one." Man, no wonder he gets punched.

Switzerland

Lt Torres is walking down a street with an unusually large number of people just sort of milling around in the middle of the street looking at their phones. He's got his kind of hidden, recording. He stops a guy and asks if he knows what they're supposed to be doing. Oh it's the flag munchers, or whatever. There's a weird phony bird whistle and then people gather around a person handing out masks with red handprints on them. His decoy bad guy phone chirps and gives the order to run. A guy jumps out of a nearby building with two huge duffle bags (of money it seems) and walks off while the previously milling people become a seemingly panicked mob, distracting police and whatnot.

Torres tries to arrest the jumper guy, who appears to have some super strength as he kicks a policeman halfway across the street. Torres, you're cute, but not super bright. Torres gets body slammed and then stomped. He survives again, however, defying the odds.

At the bank. The account manager keeps giving Sam the side-eye as he goes through their paperwork. "Do I know you from somewhere." Sam's all modest, "I don't know. Do you?" And then he makes a little wing flappy move with his hands. lol. What a nerd. "Falcon!" Then he takes a selfie with Sam. Sarah is very done with all this. She tries to get them back on track. Account guy wants to know how Avengers make a living. Probably not looking good for your loan, Sam.

"Is there some kind of fund for heroes? Or did Stark pay you when he was around? My condolences, by the way."

Yeah, financially this is looking bad, my dude. "You have no income over the last five years." Well, but, he was blipped. I mean …

Alas, shot down for the loan.

Sam and Sarah argue on the street. Ah, Sam ran off to the Air Force and didn't deal with what was going on at home. Oh my, this is getting ugly. Speaking as someone who got disowned on account of a family business, let me just say, they're not easy. Nuh-uh.

"Half the boat's mine and so is the house. We're not selling our family's legacy." "You gonna do me like what when you know I'm right?"

I get it might be awkward to ask, but I bet you could have asked Pepper for a loan, Sam, and she would have given it to you gladly. Come on, man.

Later. Sam's working on the boat's engine, and it's not cooperating. In the cabin he looks at the family pictures on all the walls. He's having a rough day. About as rough as Torres who texts him to find a secure line and call him along with a selfie of his bruised and battered face. #important (lol, really?)

Sam watches the footage Torres caught and they chat about how Torres was supposed to be doing that stuff online and not getting his face kicked in in Switzerland.

Sarah interrupts and turns on the TV. Some guy is giving a speech about how everybody needs a hero. "We need someone who can inspire us again. Someone who can be a symbol for all of us. So on behalf of the Department of Defense and our Commander-in-Chief, it is with great honor that we announce here today that the United States of America has a new hero." hmm, no comment. Except, you should have taken up the shield, Sam. Now it's Sam's turn to look like he's going to puke. What did I say about power vacuums? Somebody will fill them, whether you want them to or not.

This new guy looks like a goober. There, I said it.

credits

So … lots of setup. And very clear on the two guys trying to figure out where they fit in this world post blip and big wars. Both of them trying to fix broken families.

Plus a goober in a Cap suit.

So far so good.
