#Rylan speaks

[andromaqves]

saw this meme and immediately thought: RYLAN

[grayfeather]

Somehow customers at my job "she/her"ing me (despite my pronoun pin) isn't as bad as them mishearing Rylan as Riley

Something about getting called Riley really just pisses me off the most

[angeltism]

I need to ramble about Aven (no, not that Aven, silly! Yes, name borrowed because this is a self insert and I use the name because of the character, but shh can we pretend he doesn't exist while I talk about this fella) I'm gonna explode

— JANUARY 2024.

accomplishments.

i meant to write this yesterday. and the day before. and, well, yes, also the whole weekend. it's not much of a monthly update when we're already a week into february, but we're ignoring it. time flies; it's so crazy.

i hate to admit it but january was not a good month for me in terms of writing. i really thought my last semester at school would be easy (ha) so i was overestimating how much i could get done. the truth is, i haven't touched when twilight strikes for a while. and it pains me heavily. i wish i was working on that rather than my essays (boooo!!!) but i can't afford a fail when i'm so close to graduating. so, reluctant priorities. in an ideal world, chapter eleven would come out this month. in reality, i have no date. i would love march, but my progress has been so slow i can't guarantee it.

to speak on the little i have written, though, i think it's going really well. i'm diving into some complicated things and while it's challenging, it's also been super fun. i might have mentioned this last month but a lot of things are reaching a culminating point. because of that, the chapter is definitely more plot-driven than fluff, but (don't worry!) at the same time, it's still very character-driven. i don't think it'd be a 'me' chapter if it wasn't. Blane, K and Rylan have whole scenes (K and Rylan are in one scene together, Blane is on their own; i've yet to decide how or if I'm doing it for A and N). i'm really excited for you to read them.

finally, as some of you may know, February is also the month of my anniversary. it'll be three years since i posted my intro post here on tumblr and damn, like i said, time flies. it's funny because i thought it'd be done by now, but hey, here i still am, writing chapter eleven and *struggling* with it. usually, i post some sort of anniversary special, but since i'm so behind this year, i haven't been able to get a start on it. i'm really sorry about this—i was so excited about it too because i know exactly what i want to do. i still plan for it to be released, but just not on the deadline of the actual day, unfortunately. so if anyone was looking forward to that, you'll have to wait.

on a lighter note, i hope you're all doing well! hopefully, february will be kinder to me in terms of assignments <3

Dr Sidhbh Gallagher almost killed your friend??? I thought she was beloved by the trans community and her patients???

I'll let Rylan speak for himself.

[keerysfreckles]

hi can you write a joe keery fic where they just recently got married and seeing joes family and reader being super cute with his baby nieces and nephews and joes super obsessed with it thankss

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER I'LL SOB

pairing: joe keery x f!reader (married)

warnings: JUST PURE FLUFF !!!!!! okay ONE sexual comment but thats it, use of y/n and she/her pronouns, random names used for relatives (besides parents)

a/n: in my joe keery era fr

⋅•⋅⊰∙ ☆ ∙⊱⋅•⋅

"why are you nervous babe? you saw them at the wedding?"

joe and y/n keery have been sitting in their small car parked in joe's parents' house for the past five minutes. y/n didn't know why she was nervous either, which explains why she didn't answer her husband's question.

joe grabs y/n's hand and rubs his thumb over hers. "i know it's gonna be a lot of my family. if you get overwhelmed at all, we can leave, okay?"

y/n nods, before leaning forward and placing a kiss on joe's cheek. "i love you," her voice is soft.

"i love you," joe responds, with nothing but adoration filling his eyes.

the couple make their way to the front door. joe knocks and not even a second later, the door opens revealing joe's mother, laura.

"oh you guys made it!" she exclaims, pulling her son into a hug. "hello y/n," she pulls y/n into a hug, making her relax slightly.

joe and y/n make it through the threshold of the house, and are instantly greeted by joe's older sister, maddie.

she envelopes both of them in hugs, and informs them all the nieces and nephews are in the living room. joe takes y/n's coat, and the food they brought from her. he kisses her temple before telling her he'd be in the kitchen.

y/n makes her way to the living room, and just as maddie said, five children were playing with toys or watching the cartoons on the tv.

"aunt y/n!" gracie yells, alerting the other four kids in the process.

gracie was maddie's oldest daughter, then rylan, and jack was their only boy.

joe's other sister hannah, has two boys, adam and tristan.

all of the children come running towards y/n, as she kneels on the floor to bring them all into one big group hug.

"hey kiddos! happy holidays," y/n smiles.

she ruffles jacks hair, before following all of them. she sits on the edge of the couch, watching all of their activies.

"what are you all up to?" y/n asks no one in particular.

"me and gracie are playing with our new dolls," rylan answers.

"we have another if you want to play!" gracie announces.

y/n objects, "oh no, i couldn't intrude on the tea party you two have going on."

y/n turns to the three boys on the other side of her.

"how have my favorite boys been?"

"good!" they all chorus, earning a laugh from y/n.

adam's quick to show her the new toys he got that morning, along with jack and tristan.

down the hallway and in the kitchen, laura and her husband, thomas, along with joe and his sisters were all adding the finishing touches to the christmas dinner.

"oh honey, can you call y/n and the kids in here for dinner?" laura asks. joe nods, before walkings towards the living room.

he peaks his head into the area. his heart melts at the sight in front of him.

y/n was sat on the floor besides the three boys, as tristan was explaining how his new trucks worked. she kept going back and forth between the boys and girls, as they were all excited about her being there.

joe jumps slightly at the feeling of a hand on his shoulder. laura looks over his shoulder at y/n and the kids.

"you picked a good one joe," she kisses his cheek before speaking again. "y/n, kids, dinner's ready."

the kids all immediately get up and run into the dining room. y/n kneels on the floor, and starts tidying the toys. joe walks over towards her. "y/n, you don't need to do that. those buggers are going to come right back and play with them after dinner."

"i don't mind joe," y/n dismisses.

joe holds his hand out, "come on, you heard my mom," he laughs while helping y/n stand, "dinner's ready."

y/n leans forward and kisses joe's lips softly. joe happily kisses back, without letting go of both of y/n's hands.

y/n tries pulling away but joe only pulls her into another kiss.

"ah ah ah," y/n places a hand on joe's chest and chuckles, "how about we skip dessert here, and you can have some when we get home?"

"oh i like that idea," joe kisses y/n's forehead, "i like that a lot actually."

silly… but rylan with amab dylan having an emotional coming out out as genderfluid (they/them) to ryan, who is amab nonbinary (he/they)?

hurt/comfort with maybe dylan sitting in ryans lap 🥺

🌦️ This might not be quite what you were aiming for, it ended up a bit less emotional (Dylan is Dylan and Ryan is Ryan and they wanted to do their own thing), but this is where I got to. I hope you still enjoy!!

“But, um, yeah,” Ryan finished his rundown of his day today, “It was kinda weird because of that thing where I think she forgot I’m not cis.”

Dylan braced themself, then held their hand up for a high-five and Ryan just gave them one on instinct from where they were sitting next to each other on their couch— since camp, and especially since they got together, Dylan made it a point to high-five (aka: ‘touch hands’) as much as possible.

“Twinning!” Dylan said in an overdone valley-girl accent, heart in their throat.

Ryan gave them a completely puzzled look, “Wait, twinning on what?”

“Y’know… gender,” Dylan said, trying to stay cool but feeling sick.

Ryan still had a blank look to him. “What?”

Dylan shook out their hand, as if they could shake off the nerves, and said, “Ryan, I’m genderfluid.”

“Oh,” Ryan said. He made a few cut-off sounds, and drew Dylan closer to him. They curled into his side. Dylan was too afraid to speak before Ryan gave them some sort of answer, even though Ryan was nonbinary too. The fear didn’t care if it was irrational, semi-rational, whatever.

Ryan finally responded with a meek, “Was I supposed to know?”

Dylan laughed but they also felt like they could cry. “No, I— I haven’t told anyone.”

“That’s why you were asking so many gender questions,” Ryan mused, and turned to look at them. “Um, I support you. If that wasn’t obvious.”

Dylan straddled Ryan for a proper hug, clinging onto him like a koala, limbs shaking. “It should have been obvious, but my dumbass brain got scared,” they said, muffled into Ryan’s shoulder, “Felt like one of those fireworks was about to set off inside my chest, or something.”

Ryan patted them awkwardly on the back. Dylan appreciated it, because it was so Ryan. “Uh— do you have a new name or anything?”

“Nope, I’m still Dylan-Dylan. You can still call me your boyfriend and stuff but you can also— um— call me your girlfriend,” they said, head still full of ‘just tell him your pronouns, Dylan’, then brought themself to it. “...They pronouns, though.”

“Oh, shit, okay. Sorry if you, uh, didn't like when I called you ‘he’ before. I know I didn't know but, uh. Yeah.”

They bit back the laughter that almost came with Ryan's floundering and responded, “You're fine.”

Ryan was so bad at this, but to be honest, it was just what Dylan needed.

closed starter for @irzaozer location: soundwave

Rylan wasn't sure how he'd ended up seated next to the mayor. For once he didn't pay too much attention to his surroundings -- even more surprising was the fact that he was casually enjoying his drink rather than purposely seeking out chaos. Turning on his seat to catch a good look at the man's profile, he took another sip before speaking. "Don't you think there's a bigger case the police should be focusing on solving than fucking up some local guy's life? I mean, I get it, he killed a man. So what? Someone's been targeting and kidnapping people for how long now and there've been no consequences yet. How's that fair?"

THE WIND WAKER AHHHHHHHH I love this game SO much, ranked right below OOT and MM for my all time favorites.

One of my biggest critiques of the game is that I wish Aonuma was given the proper time to develop the game since you can tell that there should be more but a lot was cut out for time constraints. Still an incredible game but what I would give to have a full scale sequel or the full scope of the original game T^T!!!

Writing typed below as well as my game notes! (Game notes won't be typed since it's just a mess of notes for puzzles and things to come back to)

Rating: 9.0 Played: Su 2023 Recommended by: Rylan Version: Original Port: (originally Dolphin emulation but bought a Gamecube and OG TWW bc the emulator kept crashing)

GANON MOLDORM

I love this game so much holy shit. What a perfect sequel to the Hero of Time story, what a great continuation of Ganondorf's motive. I definitely wish there was more, esp dungeons and zora and towns, but this game was made pretty quick after MM and on the GC so I know there are limitations. Everything from Link, Tetra, the sound effects, the stylization, the Rito, the Koroks, Ganondorf, oh my god I absolutely adore it. Everything about it is so unique yet having the core Zelda elements within it. I also noticed how many future games took a lot of inspiration from this game, esp TP and TOTK. I also love how involved Tetra/Zelda is to the plot, Link could not have succeeded without her help, esp in the final battle and when saving Aryll. This game gives so much personality and background to Link and Tetra, every single cutscene is such a delight. This would be a super replayable game if my GC wasn't so wonky. Hopefully it'll come back to the switch. I love this game :')

[probably-a-plant-thing]

August 25th: Randy Briggs

Word Count: 666

a/n: This is in first person. Just letting you know now.

Rylan Hitchcock is the worst guy on Earth.

While on the immediate surface, anyone would think I’m exaggerating, but I’ve learned that just below the surface one finds he’s truly the devil embodying a nineteen-year-old bastard.

He’s the town's biggest known secret. Everyone knows him and it always feels like everyone hates him too. Rylan makes sure of it, flaunting himself like a punked-out peacock except instead of presenting for some tail, he’s looking for a fight. Fights he’ll always win because a man like that never fights clean simply because Rylan Hitchcock doesn’t have an honorable bone in his body. Crotch shots and gang-ups until someone stops him or he gets bored. Rylan is Satan’s favorite bully.

A bully is bad enough but it’s another thing when that bully is bigger than you. Way bigger. Rylan is like a cougar, you never see him hiding until it’s far too late. He’s a big cat with leering eyes and bloody claws.

And he’s tall.

Really tall.

Teachers have to look up at him tall, tall enough that he’ll mock you by bending down to your eye level. I’ve heard rumors that he’s 6’7 but that’s only when he isn’t wearing heels. He always wears heels. Thick-heeled leather boots that break your nose when it comes crashing down on you.

I would know, that’s how we “properly” met.

I don’t even remember what the excuse was or if there even was one, to begin with. I just remember that I bumped into one of his friends on the way to class but he was gone before I could apologize. The next passing period, I was dragged into the bathroom, and all I remember of that “fight” was the strong taste of snotty pennies, the growing pain swelling in my face, and the cold wet linoleum tiles on the floor. I couldn’t believe it really happened but reality settled in with black swallowing the corners of my vision. My mind couldn’t process the threats and jeers he must have been making though I swear all I could hear was the stupid laugh of him and his friends.

I couldn’t believe a guy like this had friends. Three friends. The one I bumped into was Simon, a guy that I’d never seen without headphones or speak a single word. Klaus is short and reminds me of a goblin and apparently, he shaved his eyebrows off during the summer. Then there's Axel. 

Axel is the only one I can stand because he was the one who told Rylan I’d had enough. Asking around I learned he came to this tiny town from overseas, I think the Netherlands, and Rylan quickly scooped him into his gang. Being an outsider here must be the only reason Axel has the balls to be Rylan’s breaks.

Axel was the one who helped me stand and helped take me to the nurse’s office. 

I remember I asked him why he hung out with someone like Rylan. The other two I had an answer for, Simon and Klaus were terrible like him. Yet I had deemed Axel different in my brain. I don’t think he answered my question, only dumped me off at the office before turning to leave. I thanked him, I think.

I’m never going to forget that. I’m never going to forget that Rylan is violent, that he’s crass, and that he’s stupidly tall. I’m never forgetting that taste of snotty pennies in the back of my throat that reappears every time I see him across the hallways.

My nose didn’t heal right after that attack. A constant reminder of him in the mirror and a constant reminder to watch my back. I never really felt scared of another person until that day but simply walking to classes the rest of the week felt like I was a deer trying to survive but constantly spooked by the idea of a mountain lion staring me down. 

Rylan Hitchcock is the worst guy in my life. 

[evertidings]

firstly, i know in the story it mentions A’s combined adhd and i want to say that i absolutely love that you added that into the character because i also have combined adhd and it’s not everyday i get to see it acknowledged in media. thank you !!!

onto the question. i was wondering if the other characters have any mental health disorders or disabilities? i apologize if you already answered a question like this.

i think i have answered something like this before but since i’m on my phone and can’t search it up, i’ll write another post haha.

A: combined ADHD, general anxiety disorder

Blane: PTSD, mild depression

N: mild general-anxiety disorder

K: dissociative disorder

Rylan: hyperactive-impulsive type ADHD (undiagnosed)

this is just a note to say that while this definitely isn’t to romanticize any of these disorders, it should be said that they are also not something to be fixed (specifically speaking about ADHD and general anxiety disorder). for these characters, these disabilities simply just… are. for example, A does what’s best for them and their ADHD (having different work habits, for one). they do not need to be “cured.” the same goes for Rylan.

on the other hand, while Blane might learn to heal from their trauma, it’ll never fully go away. too often depression and PTSD are depicted as something you fix once by going to therapy. the reality is that it’s a long process and while you can become “better,” it’s not something that just disappears.

i have some of these disorders myself so i know writing about them requires care and attention. my goal is never to offend, so if you do have criticism or feedback on how things are portrayed please do let me know <3

[youredreamingofroo]

hello, roooo! the oc emoji asks are so intriguingg. allow me to send you 🕷️ and 🙊 for roo heheh 🙂‍↔️🤞🏻 ALSO TYSM for always hyping up my baby camilla aaaaaaa 🥺🫶🏻

AAA FELI! Thank you for the ask!! Also YOUR WELCOMEEEE I love hyping up my mutuals' sims and Camilla is just so gorgeous (go check her out, this is a PSA 🫵🫵) that I cant help but HYPE. HER. UP!!!

Onto the emoji asks ~

🕷️ [ Spider ] - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears? - Roo has a bunch of big fears, and I can't choose so here's all his biggest fears; rejection (art imitates life), tight spaces (claustrophobia), dying and spiders (ironic cuz of the emoji LMAO). In terms of mundane or irrational fears... it's hard to say because whether a fear is irrational/mundane is kind of subjective, so uhhh, here's a couple other fears that you can debate on whether or not are irrational; driving (not being driven, but driving himself), "apeirophobia"/"megalophobia" (excessive fear of infinity, eternity, and the uncountable / fear of large objects), change, and being stared at (despite liking eye contact, we love an indecisive king)

🙊 [ Speak-no-evil ] - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about? - So honestly, when I first saw this, I actually was stumped LMFAO which is kind of a first for one of these, I'm not sure how to answer this but ! I'll do my best LMAO. Roo doesn't like to be a broken record, albeit he does repeat things, but he doesn't like to keep saying the same thing, he perceives himself as being annoying- that being said, he can never shut up about Leo, Rylan (his friend that has not been introduced </3) has heard more about Leo than he has heard about Roo himself, and with recent events (the dream kiss), he's been on about Leo more and more.
