Ec-4o!Sci ♡ (Bio-Engineer who somehow maintains a Lab in the apocalypse)

[helloiamadrawer]

Hello my friend; I wanted to see if you could do a headcanon or story on Android 17 x Saiyan!Reader who's also Goku's daughter and who is also a black!reader? (You can make it both SFW and NSFW!!)🤗👌🏾❤️‍🔥

Android 17 x Black! Saiyan who is Goku's Daughter

a/n: Hi @lelewright1234 unfortunately I can't do nsfw ( I may do that on a later event but not this one sorry!) but I will make it fluffy and romantic for ya!

Ok it may seem stereotypical but 17 listens to Kendrick Lamar as he cruises through the park with you in his dune buggy, making sure everything is okay and the animals are safe and you ofc

You always admired his love for animals, as you had a liking towards them as well, so whenever you got the chance to patrol, he would ask if you would like to come along if you werent busy

As you are a Saiyan, you and 17 train to maintain your power (cause Goku is mostly NOT present cause he is out training with his rival friend Vegeta) or just for plain fun

and per chance sometimes you two place silly bets on whoever loses 🤭

Cause you prefer defending yourself sometimes and who knows if you end up alone and someone tries to run up on you, the usual defense methods

You asked him once if you could dread or braid his hair and he was totally cool with it as he had no idea what you were going to do but it turned out pretty cool! (Tbh, android 17 in dreads is like a new cool style he would rock it!)

showering you in kisses just out of nowhere really hehe

Your laugh almost sounds just like your father's and 17 just finds it so cute like its his magnum opus of happiness

Sci fi movie nights

Hear me out: Arcade dates because he knows every game and would beat you at all of them (he'd let you win at least one tho and he basically won all the prizes for you such a sweetheart 🥰)

Sugar Daddy 17? 😳😳🤔 just a thought..

You tried teachimg him a bit of gen z lingo but the only word that looks good on him is 💫s l a y💫 you laughed so hard when he tried to put it in a sentence when you were cooking something one day and he goes, "Wow, that smells so slay babe." next thing he sees is you half bent over laughing and 17 is just confused "Omg, you are such a card 17! But nice try though honey, we'll have to brush up more on that."

Did i forget that Bulma once let him rent one of her super dope yachts to 17? Yk, after the TOP and stuff? Yeah he did it again for yall's second year anniversary of being together;a cruise date! complete with flowers, a nice candlelit dinner with a amazing view of the sunset descending over the sea, it was beautiful and romantic at the same time. You couldn't help but think to yourself 'How did i get so lucky?'

a/n: annd...thats about it! Hope you liked it!

[herrling]

we've been talking a lot about the coley video but can we also talk about comments?

okay let me yap on some of these points

‼️big salt ahead‼️

first of all i don't want to invalidate anyone's experience here. it's fine, it's okay, yeah. but let's please remember something - YOUR experience is not EVERYONE'S experience, yeah?

now, in order

the first comment is so fucking stupid I don't even want to discuss. "oooh self shippers are so problematic" yeah i think if someone chooses Bakugo over you it's either A COMPLETELY FUCKING NORMAL THING THAT PEOPLE HAVE PREFERENCES, or you must've been so damn shitty to them they chose someone else. idk.

second, third and some other that has adjacent message sound so... disvaluing? i might surprise someone out there but there's 👏 nothing 👏 wrong 👏 with 👏 taking your self shipping as serious as you want. no, really. if you count your self shipping as something more than "just having fun tee-hee" then GO FOR IT. you know what's TRULY concerning? when you commit a literal CRIME for your self ship, but afaik it's concerning in irl relationship too.

yeah finding balance is cool blah blah blah. it's not like i disagree, i just don't like the wording. it feels like another disvaluing of one's experience. everyone has different families - some have very abusive ones so their self ship is a literal safe haven. some people are FICTOS (hi lachlan if you're reading that I now understand what you meant) so their self ship is a literal part of their sexuality/romance experience. why do I even have to explain that???

then there's this part that is so stupid i can't. "if my partner would feel jealous about my self ship I'd drop it for them", if your partner isn't okay with a literal part of you maybe they shouldn't be your partner??? no, i mean, hear me out on this. i know this stuff is complex and all but just. all of these comments seem to NOT allow that some people consider their f/os their full partners, as I said, and that's the fucking issue. so take this from a person who DOES consider. there are situations where people fall in love with more than one person at once, yeah? there are polys and stuff, yeah? some people okay with being in a poly relationship and/or share their partner, some not. if you two are full grown adults, you SPEAK about it and come to some agreement - to continue your relationship, to not, whatever. so if your self ship is important to you, THAT'S what has to happen. you don't need to drop everything suddenly just because "oh well it's fictional and not real..." (if it's works for you tho it's fine, I'm talking about the statement that it's like what ALWAYS should happen FOR EVERYONE).

so yeah I'm mad with these comments. self shippers get hate in fandoms already, and even when they're accepted it's ONLY if they don't take their self ship seriously. as for those like me, oh don't get me started. I might make a whole bingo of what I got personally and what people said in general about self shippers like me. i was harassed for identifying as ficto, btw.

oh and yeah my favourite. "it's just fun and fiction, if a person can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, they need professional help". typical advice nobody asked for but here we are. I honestly hate advices like that because they sound so fucking ableistic and clearly come from people that think that after seeing a couple of pseudopsychological videos or reading a couple of sci pop articles they can give advices here and there (plus to people they don't know shit about).

and do i need to remind you how many self shippers are seen as mentally ill ONLY for self shipping alone? do i need to remind you how much harassment they get basing on that?

and yeah this video doesn't help. even though people say it wasn't as bad as the title said it still didn't help and, as my moot said, was UNNECESSARY to do.

what do I say. self shipping itself is HARMLESS, in any form (yeah there are proselfshippers that selfship with literal kids, not even aging them up just. with kids. ykwim). yeah I said there was a dude who killed for their self ship or smth like that but it's a bad wording, we all know the person just had general issues and making it look like he committed mass shooting because of self ship is a "kids are violent because of videogames" typa shit, I hope y'all understand this. I'm saying that people seem to just not care to educate themselves enough before saying "ummm well selfshipping is fun BUT 🤓☝️". seriously, stop. leave selfshippers alone. if someone chooses selfshipping over irl relationship well that just HAPPENS yk. it's literally the same as just. choosing one person as a partner over another, but we don't consider it as a problem that should be mass discussed, do we? so why's selfshipping is any different?

I must also bring this up: fictophobia is a kind of aphobia, in my opinion, if we consider the fact that fictosexuality/-romantism is on aspec. I'm not sure I should elaborate on this one. you won't judge an aroace for not dating/sleeping with anyone, so why you should judge someone who takes their selfship seriously to choose over irl relationship?

in conclusion, just. talk to your partners if you're in a relationship, idk. people be tapping about this so much as if there isn't already an ultimate solution to every issue - TALKING. you know? the ability we were given along with the way our throat is built and our brain is shaped (okay sorry this cane out kinda mean-).

and choosing selfshipping instead of irl dating is not something morally incorrect. you have the right to. just figure it out with your partner if they're present. yk people date, people break up, it's normal.

idk why the comments are like that.

jeez.

the freak in the penthouse part 5.2

E-rated (for sexual content), accidental millionaire eddie/sex-worker steve. CW: contains references to past abuse

On tumblr: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3.1 Part 3.2 Part 4.1 Part 4.2 Part 5.1 or search #thefreakinthepenthouse :)

On AO3

5.2 We can get buzzed up here!

Eddie lit himself a joint, because his hands were shaking, and returned to sweating over ideas. The chambermaid came and went, and then yet another knock had him jumping out of his skin.

“Eddie?”

Steve! It was only 2pm.

Turned out he’d got a day off. He was through the doors unbuttoning his shirt, before Eddie remembered his notes all over the floor:

“What’s this?” asked Steve.

Eddie was about to invoke the ‘Don’t-poke-the-grizzly’ rule, when Steve—already on his knees exploring—picked up Eddie’s single completed sketch.

“You gotta be kidding,” said Steve. “Is this me?”

“Uuuuh, it’s a fae warlock.”

“Wearing hot-pants?”

“It’s for this goddamn video game I co-created.” Eddie looped a strand of hair around a finger and peeked from behind it, blushing. “You might’ve inspired me, Honey.”

Steve snapped his gaping mouth shut, returning his attention to the sketch. “I dig the pointy ears. And the tail. That could be fun, huh? Seriously, tho’—did you have to give me such a crappy hair day?”

It’s you after a long night of debauched sex. I worship that messed-up look.

“Sorry?” offered Eddie.

Steve stuck out his tongue. “A game, huh? So that’s how you hit the big time. Is this dude a goodie or a baddie?”

Honestly, Eddie hadn’t even figured where his fae warlock fitted in, if at all. His face was still burning, so he muttered: “Chaotic neutral, Sugar.”

After that, the grizzly was pretty much lying on its back asking for belly rubs. So Eddie kneeled down beside Steve and came clean about how he needed fresh ideas but was totally blocked creatively. Apart from doodling fantasy versions of Steve, that was. Fortunately, real life Steve turned out to be a mighty fine listener.

“Help me wrap my thick skull around this,” said Steve, when Eddie’s sob story dried up. “The first game was inspired by your geek-game fantasy world. Your good guys fight goblins and super-powerful evil mages and dragons and shit.”

“And liches,” added Eddie. He never got why people forgot the liches. “I didn’t rip it all straight out of D and D. I’ve pulled a Tolkein too–you know, stole ideas from mythology and olde worlde history and shit.”

“Riiiight,” said Steve. “Like, it’s kinda obvious how you get a new twist. Why don’t you set the second game in the real world.”

“Steve, it’s not sci-fi. It’s a total fantasy game.”

“So what? All this hooey would be waaaay scarier if it bled into the real world. Then your heroes would have to power up with magic juju to protect their friends, younger siblings, and grannies and shit, and… Okay, it’s total garbage. I’ll shut up.”

“You put yourself down too much.” Eddie didn’t hate the idea… and Jesus, his hands were shaking worse than ever now. He totally needed Steve out of that unbuttoned shirt, which slipped deliciously off one shoulder.  “Look, I’ll talk to Dustin and Suzie about it. They’re my co-creators, the brainy ones.”

Steve’s delighted grin tugged a small smile from Eddie. He jumped up, and Eddie scrambled after. 

Steve said, “Hey, why don’t we go out for a drink or something?”

Eddie’s arms, which he’d looped around Steve, grew rigid. “We can get buzzed up here.”

“Yeah, but… I dunno, it’ll be like a date or something.”

A knee-jerk silent scream of horror ripped Eddie’s nerves ragged: “It’s your day off. Go knock yourself out, Babe. I ain’t coming.”

“If you wanna be alone, say so.” Steve wriggled free and backed away. “Or if you don’t want to be seen around with me… Screw it, please yourself.” 

He turned to leave. Eddie literally sprinted around him, blocking his path. “Look, it’s me, not you. I’m a freak, okay? I’m not a fan of the big, bad world right now. I don’t really wanna—”

“You don’t have to explain, man.” Steve wearily pushed his gelled hair from his eyes.

Eddie tented his hands in prayer. “I do. I owe you that. Listen, I believe I’ve got a teeny touch of agoraphobia.”

“Huh?”

“Fear of the great outdoors? Crowded places?”

“Oh.” Steve’s eyes stretched wide. “That sucks.”

“I really, really don’t want you to go. Please, Steve, stay? We can hang out, eat trash—”

“—have sex?” Steve rolled his eyes, faintly snickered. “All right. If the routine ain’t broke, why fix it.”

Eddie’s relief nearly set his knees sagging. In truth, he was genuinely gagging for Steve to stay because Steve wanted to. He chickened out of saying it, though. Instead, he snickered too, steadying his nerve and his shakes by firmly grasping Steve’s butt:

“If you let me indulge a freakshow kink, I got an extra two-hundred bucks for ya.”

…

Eddie leaned forward to whisper his ‘freakshow kink’ into Steve’s ear. Steve bit his lip to the point of pain.

He prayed he wasn’t going to have to remind Eddie about his no breath-play rule. He figured he could be flexible on a few welts and bruises—perhaps because hurting Steve seemed such an unlikely thing for Eddie to ask for. Then he remembered the smashed pillar that first night…

“I wanna play with your ass, Stevie,” whispered Eddie. Huh? That’s not exactly a newsflash. “I got a little something I wanna fill you up inside with.”

“Bring it on.” Steve grabbed a handful of Eddie’s hair, and dived into a kiss, working it mechanically.

Butt plugs. Steve had used them in the past himself, as another way to loosen himself up before impatient clients. He’d stopped, because it always gave nasty-ass bastards nasty-ass ideas: “So you’re that kinda dirty little slut, are you?”

He’d had some real evil shit shoved inside him—metal dildos, ones with weird nodules. Some douchebag Brit aristocrat once nearly did him permanent damage with some great truncheon that felt thick as his arm.

Eddie broke the kiss first. Steve plastered on a very professional smile to disguise how his stomach flipped: “Love it, Eds. But, uh, nothing that stretches me too bad, okay?”

“What?” Eddie actually squeaked. “Shit, I should’ve been plain. You ain’t getting nothing bigger than my tongue inside you.”

“You wanna eat me out?” Steve wrinkled his nose. “I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before— you do realise you’re the one paying?”

“My treat, darlin’, literally—you’re gonna taste so sweet.” He leaned to husk in Steve’s ear again. “I ordered waffles for breakfast. Saved the whole jug of maple syrup.”

“It’s gonna get sticky.”

“I sure hope so, Stevie.”

Steve sprawled belly down on Eddie’s bed, while Eddie trickled lukewarm syrup up his thighs and across his butt. He moaned, splayed his legs, focussing on the smooth drag of the silk covers against his dick. Trouble was, for some reason, he’d still got slight jitters. Heck, he’d had nightmare experiences with hot wax as well as butt plugs.

He glanced back.

Eddie… It was Eddie. Eddie was… one of the nicest guys he’d ever known. Eddie’s eyes were always kind, and…

“All right, Stevie?” 

“Hell, yeah.” He thrust ass up, angling his knees inward so the cheeks split wide.

Eddie began to lick, leisurely stroking up Steve’s syrup-smeared thighs, setting Steve squirming. 

“Mmmmm, mmmmm, Honey-pie.” Eddie sounded so stupidly delighted, he shunted Steve’s bad experiences into the darkest corners of his memory. “You likey?”

“I fucking love it.”

Eddie dabbed teasingly close to the back of Steve’s balls, then lathed back up toward Steve’s hole. He genuinely slurped at the syrup, and the stuttering suction sent each of Steve’s raw nerve-endings wild. By the time Eddie tongued lightly around Steve’s rim, Steve gasped, whimpered—too much sensation, all of it driving him nuts. His dick was as dripping as his maple-drenched ass.

“Can I go deeper?” asked Eddie, voice muffled, breath scorching.

“Jesus, pleeease.” Steve was now begging for real. Screw that, demanding: “Eat me out already!”

Hiii :) I've been wanting to get into more android or artificial intelligence related media lately, got any suggestions or faves? Movies, shows, books, anything really!

Heyy, sorry for late response, I was trying to think of maybe a bigger list, but huh, here we go

I'll start with the classic that although obvious is still among my most favourites

(Upd.) A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) – I'm updating this list to put this movie at the top.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) – among the absolute best of the genre. Doesn't place technology as something opposing humanity, but explores how it can become part of it.

Do androids dream of electric sheep (Philip K. Dick) – I recently reread the novel and yeah, I still love it. Also both blade runner movies (all three are completely different stories. First movie is nothing like a book (not worse or better, just completely different), second movie is nothing like the first. All three worth checking out (tho my favourite if Blade Runner 1984)

The Murderbot diaries (Martha Wells) – a series of books with probably the best example of how can a non-human character be written in a way that doesn't turn it into a story about "becoming human" or some other cliche. Network Effect is my favourite, I was literally screaming here in my posts as I was reading it because FINALLY it is a book where author properly utilises the fact that the main character is partially a computer. It processes multiple visual inputs at once, uses drones as the extension of himself and pings and hacks everything that moves.

Her (2013) – while I hear people talking about how some other movies/novels are the most realistic portrayal of our nearest future I get annoyed because in my opinion THIS is the closest one (among those I've seen anyway). It's practically reality. Even the job the main character has – I was thinking the other day that it seems like something that would be done by AI, but then I gave it another thought and now I actually consider it to be quite valid – a human protagonist doing a job supplying the demand for human sincerity while writing letters for people he doesn't actually know, but somehow it doesn't even matter as long as it's good work of fiction that just *feels* real, even if everyone on the receiving end knows it's not. Melancholic portrayal of this digital loneliness that doesn't read as a condescending story about some big scary AI that will destroy all humanity. No, scratch that. This movie is actually telling a story and doing it amazingly.

After Yang (2017) – it's a movie that should be watched alone, as it's not really good for collective watch. There's little action and some will probably call it boring, but oh man, I really really loved it. A family with adopted daughter has an android "sibling" whose role was to "connect" the little girl to her heritage (she's Chinese while her adoptive parents aren't). One day he shuts down. The rest I won't spoil. I must admit, after playing D:BH it weirds me out how some sci-fi has conscious AI that has no autonomy and somehow it coexists without conflict. One thing that I really liked about this movie that I NEVER saw mentioned anywhere else is how an android character struggles with identity not in a sense of whether he really is human, but whether he is really Chinese. Loved that.

Animatrix (2003) – it's animated take on Matrix that shows more context around the whole humans/machines resisters timeline that at the beginning is really similar to how it went in dbh. It consists of short parts, each animated in different style. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I didn't even know this movie existed and find it interesting enough to recommend.

Electric Dreams (1984) - I LOVE THIS MOVIE, it's one of my absolute favourites that I can't recommend enough. This is actually a romcom, not "serious" sci-fi, but to be honest I feel like even silly and goofy as it is this movie is far superior as a sci-fi than a whole bunch of "serious" ones that are just using AI for the sake of a blockbuster or some cliche story about humanity. Seriously, it was filmed in 80's and has so much fun with the concept, it ironically feels really ahead of time in how it portrays it. It was surprisingly accurate too, like there's a scene on how this computer learns to imitate sounds and it really does look like a process of how neural networks learn to imitate the input they receive. It's actually ridiculous how a romcom got more accurate depiction of artificial intelligence than most sci-fi movies.

EX Machina – I don't actually like this movie and find it incredibly boring and cliche for the 90% of its length, but the ending 10% makes it worth watching.

Android (1982) – I like it more than EX Machina but once again I mostly like it for the plot twist at the end than as a whole.

I probably haven't yet seen and read a lot of great movies in the genre so anyone can feel free to add to this list your favourites.

Actually, I'll add one more

Frankenstein (Mary Shelley) – although it's not technically about an android character, I feel like this book is like the mother of the whole genre. Definitely worth checking out, even if only because of how significant it is in the pop culture and how often people reference it with some absolute horseshit takes that hints at how they've never actually read it. There's a great audio version on YouTube too.

MARCH FOR RAPH DAYS TEN, ELEVEN AND TWELVE !!!!

Completely copied and pasted from my notes so you guys can have some cringe ramblings :>

———

SO… WE ALL REMEMBER MARCH FOR RAPH…

And I sort of got grounded…ish..

So instead of actually doing the prompts like we’d normally do- (drawing, writing, etc.) -we will rant about the topic instead because depression sucks but I still really want to do this !!! :>

I will be letting my mind wander so I will probably get off topic but I try my best.

Also some of these might become actual fanfics (???)

And it will all be posted within the same five minutes because why not.

DAY 10. Bowling with Casey

I did start drawing this one and it was gonna b a bunch of Raph and Cassandra doodles bc I had done Casey jr. for day six but generally they would be SO chaotic.

I totally see Raph having to explain what bowling even is to Cass at first (bc yk I don’t see her knowing much bc of being in the foot clan that is literally just a cult with ninja skills- I do see her knowing hockey tho from her childhood bc I don’t think she was born into the cult but just been in it from a super young age like six or something? yk what I mean??) but once she gets it she will absolutely demolish!!!

Like as in the bowling ball won’t even touch the floor because she throws it just perfectly.

When I think of Raph bowling I instantly think of him using baby rails and it TAKES ME. But I do think he would be decent at it, not the best in the family but also not the worst. (no baby rails required)

They would be super loud the whole time though, like, 100% would be kicked out b4 they finish the game so every turn matters bc they go off whatever score they had before getting kicked out.

They would yell a bunch of catchphrases and trash talk basically but Cass probably would curse very loudly out of habit and that’s like, the main reason for them getting kicked out.

Raph wouldn’t mind the getting kicked out part (cause I totally see them doing this on the regular so he’s used to it) but the cursing will be only a slight annoyance. (Just cause of how LOUD Cass would be not anything against the girl honestly he just gets embarrassed)

I see Raph using curse words but ONLY when he’s alone with Cass just cause it feels normal with her but even then it’s still a rarity.

They would totally travel from place to place after getting kicked out though, then tally the points from every place and loser hosts the next outing.

DAY 11. Favorite novel

In cannon his favorite novel is obviously Jupiter Jim or something but I’ve seen so many people saying Percy Jackson and I find that hilarious.

I never read much Percy Jackson (my brother is trying very hard to get me to and I probably will… soon enough-) I did read the first book, the sun and the star, saw some of the movie aaaaand I think like two episodes of the new series ???

But as we know the guys LOVE sci-fi so the whole gist of Percy Jackson isn’t too far off from Raph’s liking me thinks.

But personally I think Raph would ADORE the Wings of Fire series (if we’re gonna get all projecting here, as per usual /pos)

Like think about it !!! Cool mystical creatures, mystery, cool diverse magic AND THE LORE ?!?!?! Also the fact that’s theirs like sixteen books (???) not Including the many spin-offs and side stories- (I have no idea what the average number is for a large series so that’s a lot for me :^) oh! And the graphic novels!!

He would so relate to Clay and think his fireproof scales are so cool. I see so many similarities. He would match his brothers with the MC’s (Mikey with Sunny, Donnie with Starflight, Leo with Tsunami) ((I am so not saying this bc I’ve done it myself-)) GOSH HE WOULD TOTALLY MAKE FAN FICTION AND HAVE LITTLE NOTEBOOKS DEDICATED TO HIS HEADCANNONS AAAAAAAAAAHHH !!!1!!1!1!!!111!

In conclusion he would be a huge geek about it all (he would rope Mikey in bc YALL-) and Mikey would make them cool cardboard wings. The end :]

DAY 12. Stir Crazy

I realllllllllyyyyyyy wanted to draw this one with Mikey and Raph in the kitchen but alas.. 😔

But yes Raph can coooook!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Not actually though. What I see in my very good vision is Raph helping Mikey out in the kitchen. Specifically, stirring.

I’d think that after the invasion Raphs motor skills in general would need improvement. This is not based on anything actually scientific I just have a ✨feeling✨ that after his whole kraang-ified ordeal he would have trouble with knowing he was in control (as most have headcannoned yes, but I like to think of mine as slightly different :p) his arm and eye and insert other places he was kraang-ified that I don’t remember here, would be significantly impacted from this worse than his not kraang infected side.

Like he would have a lazy eye, his arm would twitch/spasm and/or that whole side of his body would get pins and needles or just go numb at times.

But even then it would take a long and I mean LONG time for him to even get to that point. Before that it’s going to be even worse, like, being temporarily paralyzed and/or he would have to learn how to move that side of his body all over again.

This gives us Leo and Raph learning to move again bonding, your welcome.

But I’m not that evil to actually make him forever paralyzed, even if it was just the arm. (I’m too much of a wuss 😔)

The other side of his body would also take time to move again but that’s like a few hours compared to the months of work Raphs gonna have to put into his other side.

I don’t care that he bounces back immediately in the movie that is going to be labeled adrenaline. Also that one scene where Mikey and Donnie get thrown and Leo’s all like “go for them!! 🥺” and Raph falls on his side for a second and his arm is limp before running to them.

That split second scene is basically the whole reason why this headcannon exists.

BUT BACK TO THE PROMPT !!! :D

During healing Raph would do motor skill practice with Mikey aka baking cause Raph loves to lick the batter of the spoon when their done and stirring helps his arm. He would also flip pancakes maybe but I don’t see him doing anything like measurements cause it’s Mikey’s whole thing to cook but he helps keep the place clean :]

———

Anywizle, my apologies for missing a few days and coming back with a messy rant- but it was fun so who cares!

So buh-bye! Have a good night and/or day! It may be possibly impossible but possibly I will see you tomorrow!

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

ROUND 3 MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

Camera Obscura

Synopsis

The Doctor sat alone and listened to the beat of his remaining heart. He had never got used to it. He never would. The single sound where a double should be. What was this new code hammering through his body? What did it mean? Mortal. No, he'd always known he could die. Not mortal. Damaged. Crippled. Through his shirt, his fingers sought the thick ridge of his scar. Human...

The Doctor's second heart was taken from his body — for his own good, he was told. Removed by his sometime ally, sometime rival, the mysterious time-traveller Sabbath. Now, as a new danger menaces reality, the Doctor finds himself working with Sabbath again. From a seance in Victorian London to a wild pursuit on Dartmoor, the Doctor and his companions work frantically to unravel the mystery of this latest threat to Time... Before Time itself unravels.

Propaganda

DESPAIR ACCORDS WITH REALITY BUT I INSIST ON HOPE!!!!!!! GOOD FUCKING BOOK IM UNWELL (anonymous)

The Book of the War

Synopsis

The Great Houses: Immovable. Implacable. Unchanging. Old enough to pass themselves off as immortal, arrogant enough to claim ultimate authority over the Spiral Politic.

The Enemy: Not so much an army as a hostile new kind of history. So ambitious it can re-write worlds, so complex that even calling it by its name seems to underestimate it.

Faction Paradox: Renegades, ritualists, saboteurs and subterfugers, the criminal-cult to end all criminal-cults, happy to be caught in the crossfire and ready to take whatever's needed from the wreckage… assuming the other powers leave behind a universe that's habitable.

The War: A fifty-year-old dispute over the two most valuable territories in existence: "cause" and "effect."

Marking the first five decades of the conflict, THE BOOK OF THE WAR is an A to Z of a self-contained continuum and a complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recordable time to the fall of humanity. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the historians win as many battles as the soldiers and the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past…

Propaganda

Is it about Dr Who? I mean, sort of. Arguably. You could say the Doctor is present in it. Somewhat. Not by name tho because that would be illegal. But definitely there are uh. well. there's definitely stuff in it that's DWesque. It's Dr Who Adjacent. It's Dr Whoish. Strong Dr Who vibes. (@eighthdoctor )

Experimental sci-fantasy that defined the Time War and started a whole series of its own. (anonymous)

[sol-consort]

Do you think ME Andromeda is worth playing? It's on sale on Xbox and as you can probably guess I love the first 3 ones but I'm worried about the characters and story being different. Have you played it and is it any good?

I played through a good portion of it after finishing the trilogy, after 68 hours and getting spitroasted by the denial & bargaining stages, I accepted that the only thing in common between Andromeda and the Trilogy is the fact they're set in the same universe, that's it. That's where all the similarities start and end.

Is it fun? Yeah, no, kinda? It's not ME kind of fun, so don't expect that from it.

It's more like galactic sci-fi watchdogs. It's a semi-open world. Exploration and fighting random enemy encounters will be how most of your time is spent.

Unlock waypoints, find collectables, grab side missions along the way, get crafting materials to make armour and upgrade weapons—yes there is a big annoying crafting section now, credits alone don't cut it anymore and some materials are gatekept by only spawning on certian planets that are story locked so you can't simply hoard a bunch of materials at the start. Yes, getting matierals is a very prolonged and dragged out process. Yes, it's a hassle for no reason, but to purly inconvenience you.

In comparison to Mass Effect missions with set paths and clear goals, Andromeda is an entire different new game.

They don't give out much more interesting lore about the alien species either, at least the OG Milky Way ones. It's called new beginnings for a reason, everyone wants to forgo the way of the past and start anew with new cultures and believes. Female krogans and Salarians are a common sight, Turians are spread around instead of being a tight-knit group for the spirits and all. So many things changed, every race feels like "humans+" instead of their own people.

Especially the asari—god the asari. They lost their spark, yk how they're chill but suddenly say or do something very ominous that makes you remember oh yeah those guys are freaks with ruthless societies? Yeah...they're literally just humans now, completely utterly human.

There are politics to resolve, like always, but nothing with major scales like how Shepard was with the council. It's room-temperature political tension with you as the mediator.

...A mediator that no one respects or listens to much. You're a little bit more convincing than a sitting duck in any given argument.

You are unknown, young and a nepo baby so no one respects your authority. Your character doesn't know how to lead or take charge much either, you stumble along wherever the more capable people tell you to go run errands at.

Oh yes, running errands is the entire gameplay. So. Many. Errands.

Andromeda feels spread out thin. There were definitely attempts to build something intricate and ask meaningful questions, but everything was left half cooked.

It's not a nothing burgers... but it's definitely a watered-down cola, after all the ice melted and diluted it.

I heard the online play was fun? you can play as the other alien species and they each have their own abilities, I never tried it tho.

As for the "new" species, the angara are wonderful and held a lot of potential but we never get the chance to explore them much bc of...errands.

Finding out more about their lore was akin to finding a needle in a haystack because vital information gets dumped into stupid optional side missions that you could very easily miss. I felt like I had to complete all the side missions just on the off-chance one of them might grant me more angara lore crumbs.

They're a civilisation that rebuilt itself after near mass extinction, isn't that neat? So not only can you find out about their current lore and culture, but also about the civilisation they used to be, heritage they themselves barely managed to remember and pass down between generations.

But that's it, just the angara. That's the whole brand new alien race. An entire galaxy, and you only get one.

Actually, I lied you do get another alien race

The Kett... but they're surface level "baddies" species. They're not explored much, or if they were, it was so end-game that after nearly 70 hours of playing, I managed to acquire 0 information and a very "eh" impression

The new crew didn't grow on me like the Normandy one. It wasn't well done like in ME2 where they introduced amazing characters through personlised missions that made you form an attachment to them and seek them out.

No, they just...hand you the crew ready to go. From the start. You barely know their names. And you're the captain.

They don't treat you like the captian, this isn't the army. You're like a middle manager to them? a nepo one that's too young for their position. While the atmosphere is very causal, it doesn't translate into friendly or intimate. It's just...informal?

I liked Jaal and Vetra, but a huge chunk of their allure is the fact they're the first of their kind to be romance–able. I wanted to get with a women turian ever since the Omega DLC in Mass effect, and Jaal is already interesting by proxy of me being an honorary angara archaeologist. I would've slept with him just for the chance to study the angara up close.

I was that obsessed with this imaginary group of funky people yet the game was such a bore that it fumbled the bag and managed to lose my interest.

There is a hot Krogan dilf :( You don't get to romance him but the fucking asari doctor does! Let me fuck the old man krogan ughhh.

I got very bored playing Andromeda ngl, something that rarely happened in Mass Effect. The lack of action and your missions not holding any real plot relevance takes a toll on you. You're not in the army anymore, you're a pathfinder, an explorer. No one addresses you as commander :"(

If you want an exploration game set in the world of Mass Effect with none of the plot relevance, sure go for it.

If you want Mass Effect 4 or just Mass Effect 3.5 Then I'm sorry to say, just wait for Mass Effect 4 to release.

I understand that it is unfair to compare Andromeda to Mass Effect Trilogy because both of them aimed to achieve different things. The Trilogy wanted to be a story about war and it succeeded, Andromeda wanted to be a story about exploration and new beginnings, it kinda succeeded but the funding ran dry halfway and the time was ticking so they just delivered a half-baked pie.

Was it too ambitious? eh maybe. But not because of a desire to do something new or unique, it was because of greed. Andromeda reached for so many things at the same time, it never quite grasped anything fundamental.

For a Mass Effect-esque genre game it's like 2/10

for a sci-fi open world exploration adventure game it's 7/10

Will I finish it? no. I fucking hate open world exploration games, they do nothing but bore me + give me so much motion sickness.

Also it makes the romance routes progress very awkwardly because they aren't full missions to go on to like in Mass Effect? So you can't simply talk to your crew after each mission to see if the relationship progressed.

No, you stay in the open world when missions are done and leave on your own time. One mission is next to another and another and another plus the 50+ side missions littered around. It's a coin flip chance of either getting overwhelmed with so many new romance flags and plot progressing when you're done or getting nothing for shit at all despite wasting consecutive 5 hours just doing missions nonstope.

The ship is cool tho, loved its design better than the Normandy. It felt like a diplomatic ship set out to make a good first impression, The milky way races adorning a pretty dress to take the trash out just because they moved into a new apartment complex and one of their new neighbours might be outside!

[turtle-bun]

Turtleverse reacting to Mutant Mayhem!!!

!!!Minor spoilers ahead!!!

Okay so like in a weird sci-fi universe pocket dimension kind of like Spiderverse where all iterations of the Turtles collectively hang out and can see into each other's dimension via computer screen or whatever.

Each time there’s a new iteration of the Turtles it's this HUGE event where EVERYBODY comes over to have what they call a "watch party". Basically, just jumbles of video compilations they were able to capture and put together in a sort of movie-esque style to get a feel to how the new Turtles are this time round. It's very exciting and fun mainly due to the fact that in most dimensions there aren't any other "mutant turtle" around so they all feel a lot less alone with every new version of themselves they discovered. There’s always a different reaction whenever these events happen, both positive and negative, but they are all united under that fact that at their very core they understand each other in a way no one else in the entire multiverse ever will.

So, they catch wind of a new universe popping up into the cosmos and central hub is all a buzz! As much as there is excitement there is also this underlining anxiousness that always sits at the pit of their stomach. Because sure they could be finding this cool brand new universe with a unique style and story just like the Rise!Turtles or they could find something so completely heartbreaking and dark yet are forbidden to interfere least they destroy the multiverse, like the Last Ronin universe (every Mikey in the Turtleverse was hugged and coddled to death for nearly a week after that event).

The watch party happens and they all get their first glimpse ever at the new universe and the Turtles in it. Within the first few minutes of seeing these new turtles it is then they are hit, practically gut punched, with the realization that these guys…are children. Sure THEY were basically children when they first started out the whole crime fighting thing but for some reason this time it hits different. Like here they are watching these FOUR FUCKING CHILDREN on the screen, out in a dangerous city unsupervised, where is their father?! Oh there he is! Oh no he’s an anxious mess! He’s trying so hard to be good dad tho! Please boys just listen to him! Why are you fighting criminals at night? You are fourteen!

The collective of the Turtleverse were just SO stressed watching these boys fight their way through the criminal underground. Sure, they were impressed by the boys is skills and strength and they can most definitely handle themselves…but also consider that THEY ARE VERY SMALL!! They are all just so small and dorky and cringe and excitable and losers and giddy and so, so, so full of joy!

The Leo’s are all having a fucking breakdown because: “Oh my god he’s such a loser! I love him so much! He’s trying SO hard to be a good big brother and leader! He just like me fr!”

The Raph’s are punching shit due to shear overwhelming over protectiveness and cute aggression, like: “He’s so fucking stupid! He’s so FUCKING STUPID!!! I WOULD FUCKING DIE FOR HIM!!"

The Donnie’s have been collectively scheming on how to: “Wrap him in bubble wrap and put him safely in a jar where he shall be safe and do nothing but eat pizza and watch anime for however long he wants! Dose he need a new phone or computer? Doesn’t matter! We’re already making one for him!”

The Mikey’s are the biggest MM!Mikey hype men ever, like seriously: “Yes babe, you tell that joke! Swing those chucks, mini Mikey! YOU’RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE!!!”

Meanwhile, in the background, all the Splinter’s have been very calm and quiet, seemingly unfazed, at least on the outside. They absolutely FEEL for this new Splinter on a spiritual and emotional level. Every time one of the MM!Boys goes head first into danger they tense up so bad and are just internally screaming: “MY BABIES!! MY PRECIOUS BOYS!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!”

Then they all just start sobbing because the MM boys were able to have a good ending! They have a large mismatch family of mutants, a cool April as their friend, they were accepted by society, they even got to go to school! Maybe there is a bit of underlying jealousy amongst them, seeing another version of yourself living the life you always wanted, but mostly they were just SO happy for them! They were so unbelievably happy that FOR ONCE some version of themselves got to live a normal life! That they got to be kids!

So yeah, basically the whole Turtleverse is that meme of: I’m crying, screaming, throwing up! I’ve only had these boys for five minutes but if anything happens to them, I will destroy this universe and then myself!

If the Mutant Mayhem boys eventually do mean the rest of the Turtleverse you can bet your ass that they will ABSOLUTLY be spoiled rotten by the others. And like the MM!Boys won’t even realize it, they’ll just think that the other Turtles are just being super nice to them because they’re new. They don’t know the absolute fucking chokehold they have on the entire multiverse!

[pygian-weapon]

what show should I rec my dad, since he seems to be really into the stuff that 2012 era tumblr was in?

He wants to learn what the deal is with series with season-long arcs, not just self-contained stand alone episodes (like Poirot, or Columbo). Preferably not too many episodes per season tho!

I tried with stuff like "oh, Black Sails is really good" or "you like 19th century period pieces, right? The Terror is about the expedit-" and he shot them down. He's not into horror or heavy action, but he likes murder mysteries and sci-fi and such. He, uh, liked Merlin and BBC Sherlock. Not necessarily an English or American series, he can understand pretty well also Spanish and French with subtitles

[kira-the-whump-enthusiast]

sorry this took me a while to get to!!

Historical or Futuristic

Defff prefer historical stuff. Idk I’m not really into sci-fi? Usually I write/read semi-modern or fantasy stuff. I have a soft spot for dystopian settings tho :D

Opening or Closing Chapter

I’m gonna be honest here, I have never written an ending chapter. And I don’t know how to! I’m bad at finishing things! It’s much easier for me to begin. And not even at the beginning. I just write something from the middle of a silly plot in my head and post it and just be like “here’s 3 sentences of explanation, have fun” and that’s my idea of an opening chapter woohoo.

Light and Fluffy or Dark and Gritty

Seriously, mad respect to the people who can write fluff. I can’t. I am anti fluff. All characters need to be in situations. Dark and gritty stuff is great but I think my tastes lie a bit in between. It can’t be all dark and gritty. Gotta be a little light stuff in there. Something to hope for. Otherwise I get depressed. 

Animal Companion or Found Family

I have a cat. I do not have a lowkey kinda shit family forcing me to rely on friends for all my family needs. I think my OCs usually end up with nice friend groups rather than like found family stuff specifically. Also one of my OCs has a time kitty who can control time. I think that’s really cool.

Horror or Romance

Look. Cocaine Bear vs Hallmark movies. I know which I’d rather watch. Obviously cocaine bear is not peak horror lmao but girl I am literally so tired of the romance genre and it’s 6 million cishet white man and cishet white girl fall in love Twilight-ass bullshit 😭 Also I’m aromantic. Romance isn’t cool unless it’s dysfunctional and toxic as fuck but not in like the heterosexual way in the queer way. If you get what I mean. Or they eat each other. Idk man. Horror is better. Honestly I think whump could count as a form of horror itself--some of the most horrifying stories I’ve read have been other people’s whump pieces. Horror is fucked up and owns it and I like that. I could go on but let’s leave it there.

Hard Magic System or Soft Magic System

Look I am so bad at making consistent rules. I just get a silly idea and I’m like “yeah I’ll make that work.” I could never make a comprehensive system for all this unless I bullshitted it. It feels like inventing math.

Stand Alone or Series

Literally can’t consistently write a series for the life of me. The devil grants me my writing skills and he gifts me motivation at completely random times for completely random ideas. The shit I post? That’s up to Satan, baby. Also I’m bad at making series so everything ends up being stand alone anyways just in case I never write the next one. I love love love reading series tho. Shoutout to writers who can do that I love you all very much.

One Project at a Time or Always Juggling 2+ 

Just look at my masterlist. My WIPs folder has like 10 projects in there. Never, ever have I been able to do one project at a time. Too many silly ideas in this accursed brain.

One Award Winner or One Bestseller 

I’d get embarrassed if so many people read my book,,, also I feel like winning an award is easier to brag about. Actually no if I do become a published author, I would ideally like to have a small but dedicated fanbase that makes a fuck ton of video essays and dissertations about my book. Also they have to be at least 10 years late.

Fantasy or Sci-Fi 

I like the silly things you can do in fantasy. Like immortality and curses and stuff. Idk how to explain it man. Also fantasy outfits are cooler sorry.

Character Description or Setting Description 

I am so bad at settings. Theyre all kinda vague in my head. Characters I’m better at. Also cuz I usually get a visual reference for them so it’s easier to describe them.

First Draft or Final Draft 

If I can get to it, that is.

---

tagging uhhhh anyone who wants to jump in cuz I am become Tired and I cannot do a thought rn. have fun guys :D

This or That Tag

Thanks @verkja for the tag!

Historical or Futuristic

Hm…I prefer to write in a setting that’s loosely based on irl historically-inspired timelines. It serves as a sort of backdrop I can manipulate into an entirely different setting— which works great for writing fantasy. But if I’m reading, I love a futuristic setting.

Opening or Closing Chapter

Okay I love both but an opening chapter sets the stage— it can have so much tension and I love it when a story hits the ground running.

Light and Fluffy or Dark and Gritty

Dark and gritty! Serious undertones and desperate characters and the snap of a lighter in the background? Yes please.

Animal Companion or Found Family

Well, I’ve never written a character with an Animal Companion before, so we’re going with Found Family.

Horror or Romance

Eh, neither. Romance stories really aren’t something I enjoy and Horror may be slightly better, but if I had a choice, I wouldn’t read horror either.

Hard Magic System or Soft Magic System

I like the creative license a soft magic system gives me. I have tried to write a hard magic system but I often box myself in with rules that contradict themselves…so soft magic system it is.

Stand Alone or Series

Cannot for the life of me write a stand alone. The stories always drag on way past the ending I had planned so I usually try to write in trilogies or in interconnected stories.

One Project at a Time or Always Juggling 2+

Oh lord, I wish I wasn’t juggling so many. But my brain refuses to just work on one WIP— always bringing in different ideas, like the jerk it is.

One Award Winner or One Bestseller

If I was ever traditionally published, then I’d have to go with the award winner. I feel like it would be more satisfying, but idk.

Fantasy or Sci-Fi

Fantasy. Yes. That’s all >:D

Character Description or Setting Description

I struggle more with setting description than with describing my characters. I guess I’m worried I’ll bore my readers by over describing the scenery, and so by default writing setting also bores me.

First Draft or Final Draft

Ha it would be great if I could finish either. But yeah, final draft— I can’t think of anything I want more than holding a completed manuscript in my hands.

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Hi! Your advice on breaking down plotting a story have been great! Do you by chance have any similar advice/breakdown on how to write a sequel or a next installment in a series?

I’m going to split this response in two, because before we talk about how to write a sequel, I think it’s helpful to talk about types of sequels and how they work. It's not unusual that an author plans to write a sequel(s), but first has to pitch a book as stand-alone. It's also not unusual for an author to plan a stand-alone, but land a multi-book deal, so it’s a good idea to give it some thought regardless. (Indie authors, you have more leeway with this, but there’s no reason not to consider sequels as well.)

Duologies. Increasingly popular, especially in YA, there’s a lot of advantages to the duology. Readership-wise, it’s easier to sell folks on a two-book series than a longer one, and if you’re writing for younger readers, you don’t have to worry about them outgrowing the series by the time the third or fourth book comes around. Duologies are good for tight-knit plots, first book cliffhangers, and I see them most commonly in fantasy and sci-fi. If you have a idea you know you can’t fit to one book, but aren’t sure you can manage three, consider the duology.

Trilogies. Still very common in adult sci-fi and fantasy. Good for long-reaching, expanded plots that need three books to cover, the final book dealing with the ultimate threat, finishing with a bang. If you want to do a trilogy, make sure you have a plan. The biggest issue trilogies face is readers dropping off after the second book, especially if it seems like the writer doesn’t know we’re they’re going.

Serial Stand-Alone books. Most common in mysteries, from cozy to police procedure, though you’ll also find it in urban fantasy. Stars the same characters, but deals with a different mystery (or monster) each time. Like a TV show, you’ll want a “series bible” for this in order to carry forward character development, but these books often operate as stand-alone stories for anyone picking them off the shelves. Interested in mysteries? Want to write the better version of Supernatural? This structure is for you.

The Episodic series. Useful for pretty much any genre, this type of series can’t really be read out of order. Like that part of Supernatural, where suddenly you had to know all the backstory from the last season (confession: I have not actually watched Supernatural), you’ll have to be familiar with the last book in order to fully understand the next, even though the problem or challenge might be completely different. A Song of Ice and Fire or Jonathan Stroud’s Lockwood and Co are good examples of this. Middle Grade also has a lot of these, like the Rick Riordan books.

Other:

The-not-quite-sequels: Books that seem unconnected, but actually carry through key characters from the last book. Diana Wynne Jones was a master at this.

Same World books: Just as it says, books based in the same world, but involves different characters. Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series is a good example of this.

Anthology series: Linked by theme or similar elements. Really common in romance.

In picking the type of series you want to write, consider the following:

How much story do I have to tell? If you’re focusing on a tight-knit, dynamic story focused on a character’s development, you’re going to want to lay out how long it’s going to take against the typical book lengths of the genre you’re writing for (remember, YA and MG tend to have strict word counts, and even adult fantasy readers might balk if your book becomes a doorstopper.) Duology/trilogies are your best bet here.

Is there enough of the world to explore over multiple books? If you want to do a serial or episodic series, you’re going to have to consider how much you have to work with. On one hand, if it’s a mystery, you’ll never run out of murders. You also have plenty of slice-of-life situations and mythology to pull from if you’re leaning toward those directions. But you’ll need to determine that before you launch down that road.

Consider your genre. Duologies/trilogies work well with sci-fi and fantasy. Literary novels are probably not going to get many sequels. Mysteries are going to lean toward stand-alone serials. Horror probably works best with episodic books, etc. You’re not limited by genre, of course, but it’s worth considering your audience and what they expect (and therefore will buy).

In Part 2, I’ll break down how to plot for your series, but I’m going to tackle that one tomorrow. Hope this helps in the meantime!

Hi! I hope you’re doing well :) I would like to request a haikyuu and mha matchup.

I’m 16 years old, she/her I have straight short black hair with electric blue and purple streaks, grey eyes with red, brown-ish flecks (weird ik), I also wear glasses and I’m 5’8. I have long (like 20cm), rough and sweaty hands. I’m bi (more towards male preferences tho) I have light muscles but am stronger than most people my age and I have pale skin.

INTP-T and June Gemini

I like to read (obsessively) mostly manga and sci-fi, paint/sketch, skateboard and I play the guitar, keyboard and drums. I sing sometimes. I play video games a lot. I like to watch anime and sci-fi movies and tv shows. I know how to ride a motorbike and like to go on long rides on it.

Dislikes/likes: I love coffee, the nighttime, stargazing with my older brother, scented candles, cats, dark humour and the cold and rainy weather. I like physics and maths and learning foreign languages . I don’t like summer but I like to swim very much. I don’t like complete darkness and obnoxious and mean people. I don’t like feeling unwanted or being treated like a burden. I hate daylight and the sun.

Personality: I get angry easily and tend to yell at people a lot because of this I sometimes have trouble making friends. I have anxiety and am not a very sociable person. I’m creative and quite smart. I prefer to not start conversations at big events. But once I’m comfortable with someone I can be sarcastic and sassy. I’m not good with deadlines cuz I procrastinate and then panic on the last day. People get intimidated by me but I can be caring and nice once they get to know me. I’m only close to a few people and talk to them only most of the time. I also have adhd and get extremely hyper at times. I like being alone but too much silence bothers me. I often come off as mean but I am very good at understanding what someone is feeling even if they try to hide it. I’m somehow very good at lying and detecting lies.

Sorry I was asleep when you sent this in 😅. Anyways for mha I match you with deku!!

Deku is out training a lot because of school and his quirk, so to make that up to you. Deku will leave you his hoodie and a couple of other gifts until he gets back from training. When deku gets back most of the time it's already turning dark out, so after he changes out of his training clothes and stuff he'll take you out to go star gazing with him. He'll brings blankets, food and drinks for you guys to have while your out together. Deku loves giving you physical affection, even of it is just holding your hand.

Whenever you procrastinate deku tends to help you focus on what you need to get done, so you don't end up panicking the next day. During the summer deku will take you swimming all the time for fun. Deku doesn't mind if you yell at him (he's kinda used to it because of bakugo.) He does know however that you don't mean to yell that much so he never takes it to heart. If you're ever uncomfortable at big events, deku will make sure to start a conversation so you relax a little. He also helps you with your anxiety attacks by cuddling with you and softly talking to you.

For haikyuu I ship you with hinata!!

Hinata is shorter than you so whenever you two cuddle he's usually the smaller spoon, however sometimes he'll convince you to let him be the bigger spoon. Hinata is also not good with deadlines but if he wants to try to help you he'll ask daichi for advice. If is raining out and dark outside, hinata will take you to the porch and lay out a couple blankets plus have some to cover you two up. You two will sit on the pouch listening to the rain while cuddling (hinata usually accidentally falls asleep outside when you both do this.)

Hinata doesn't really like that you yell but he understands that you don't try to do it on purpose so he won't get upset at you. When you get hype, you and hinata will run out that energy together. Hinata will take you out on coffee dates at cafe's he'll even find a cat cafe to take you too. If you two watch shows together, hinata will be cuddled into your side while your watching. Hinata loves playing video games with you, however he will not play vs. games with you only because he doesn't want to see you get mad. Hinata understands that sometimes you need alone time and he'll give that to you.

Hope you like it!! Sorry it took so long!! 💛💜

1-25 all evens for the new ask game

Oh you........the amount of love I have for you...... I'll skip 6 since I already answered it tho :o

2) what work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?

The best part is...I DELETED IT >:) It from when I was in high school and wrote this Eragon story that was a complete nightmare...in the sense that the canon characters were borderline OOC. It's been a good while since then, who knows if I will ever update the doc I have for it. I am afraid of opening Pandora's Box with that one.

4) favorite character you’ve written

hmmm....I think it would have to be Violet because she was the first character I wrote and made content for after my 4 year hiatus. I was aware of the OC community back in the day but had no means to make manips or publish it until I got a new laptop. Pixelmator was the first software I used until I eventually got Photoshop from school, in which I eventually bought the monthly subscription to it TT_TT. I binged Umbrella Academy when it first came out and I remember writing the first couple of chapters during lectures and it brought back this nostalgic feeling I had when wrote back in high school because I finally had the means to publish again. That's why Violet is so precious to me.

8) favorite genre to write

Definitely something on the fantasy, sci-fi, romance angle. Action is definitely hard for me because I feel that writing those scenes are a hit or miss; it has to flow naturally and not read so choppy. Still learning on angst because I need to better understand the term in order to portray it properly.

10) write in silence or with background noise? with people or alone?

A little bit of both? I HAVE to listen to instrumentals if I write with music because lyrics distract me and I end up pausing the damn song to write in silence. Instrumentals help me build the mood and just inspire me overall. I tend to listen to soundtracks from whatever fandom I'm writing for or just typical trailer music. If it's a song that serves as an inspiration for the story, then I tend to leave it on repeat (i.e. All I Want by The Offspring or Confusion and Frustration in Modern Times by Sum 41 for Divided We Stand).

DEFINITELY ALONE. I can't stand people looking at me when I'm typing. I tend to type really fast and loud and there was this one time my coworker came over to where I was writing and started reading out loud what I was typing. They kind of made a comment that struck me and I got self-conscious as a result.

12) your weaknesses as an author

I never update and keep coming up with too many stories/characters. I write one chapter and move on to the next obsession, depending on my muse. I am horribly inconsistent and I have a lot of docs that are like 80% done that need to be updated/published, but because I am drained and never confident in my writing. 

14) do you make playlists for your current wips?

Not really? Maybe I’ll find a song or two that fits the story (the pairing’s song and just a random song that matches the aesthetic. See Q10 for a better response hahaha). 

16) are there any characters who haunt you?

I’ll give two instances:

A character who haunts me for the way I wrote them: Definitely my Eragon OC: Illisimé. This was when I didn’t know how to write a well written character, and she was a complete Mary Sue and OOC for someone in the setting. I have updated her considerably since, so I think she’s a little more tame now. Hopefully I can come back to her because she is my first precious baby. 

A character who haunts me because of the story I have planned for them: Daphne McConnell, my IT OC, because of the story and canon mature themes. If you have read or seen the movies/tv series, you know exactly what themes I’m talking about. If not, don’t worry about it! One of the themes that Daphne will experience is something I’m trying to find the courage to undertake. 

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?

A couple people actually (please click on their underlined names to check out their FF profiles): 

My Weeb Besties: Ashley influenced me that slow burn isn’t boring/tedious and that it’s sometimes needed for events to play out perfectly. You want the story to get to certain events naturally so the end reward is well worth the wait. Kim influenced me in a way that description and putting effort in how a character is portrayed makes for interesting writing. Taking time to do accents, description that paints a picture in your mind, etc. Nikki influenced me that it’s fine to be adventurous with your writing and there shouldn’t be any shame in indulging in your kinks. Smut and well written stories/one-shots can go hand in hand together. 

20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?

Before my hiatus, I used to just sit and write for hours on end. I could get a chapter out within a day or two. Since I came back, it’s been increasingly difficult to just stay focused and not over think it, hence why I now write in spurts. 

22) are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?

For the sake of my followers, I won’t mention it here, but there certainly are some subjects in which I will be “NOPE” to. 

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

Maybe some medical related things. I come from a family of medical workers, I trained in some areas in caring for my grandma, and even went to LVN school so I know how some procedures go. I haven’t written these topics yet, but at least I have a good knowledge of how it will be
