#Taffy's notes

[sweeterthanmydreams]

I tried making banchan last night so I could have some nice breakfast options. Left to right we have spicy beansprouts, kimchi* with bonus spicy cucumber, enoki pancake with marinated cucumber, and miso soup. My tongue hurts but the gochujaru tastes so good. u-u

(*There's two fundamental ingredients I was missing so legally it's kimchi style pickled veggies but I tried to flavor match.)

Thessa von Trips (Wolfgang Von Trip's mother) diary entry about Wolfgang, the preface to a biography about Wolfgang.

(Translated from German using google translate so parts don't 100% make sense)

Warning: you might cry

Started on some gray November day...

This book is for you!

This book should record a part of our lives. We both wanted it that way then - today, it is different. The pages are no longer complete. I took them out!

It would be unbearable to know that I would only have to open the pages two or three times to read your poem, to see your writing! When you left, I couldn't understand it, and to this day I still can't believe that you're no longer there! I dream of you, and when I run to the mailbox in the morning to find a greeting from you from somewhere, I am unspeakably sad and awake at the same time.

You often looked at me with astonished eyes when we talked about religion. I told you that I only believe in nature, and your objection was that nature was created by God, so it must be there. You believed in him, but why, why did he destroy everything? Because he loved you? That would be too cheap a consolidation for me. Why? Will there ever be an answer?

I think you were too good for this world. Perhaps if you had your eyes open to all the intrigue and evil around you, you would have saved from becoming evil.

You would probably have hard can be, but never insincere, let alone selfish. You believed that the people around you meant what they were saying, and you seemed content. How hard it hit you when you once did that. You had to experience the opposite; only I know. We were both suffering. You because you just couldn't understand it, I because I didn't know any consolation that could help you. Because whatever I said you didn't want to understand it. You never wanted thanks - just understanding. And what did you harvest? You were taken advantage of and certain people used your back as a jumping platform. According to the motto: “Everyone is their own neighbour!”

I don't want to and can't think about it anymore. My heart hurts! Please forgive me, I know you are sad when I have thoughts like that. I want to try to listen to you. When I think of you, I am happy. Only then. You took the word “happiness” with you. It's no longer there. It lives in me together with the thought of you. You probably know how often my thoughts are with you. I hold on tightly to it so that life doesn't become unbearable. Sometimes everything is just so damn difficult. Everything reminds me of you: cities, countries, music,

Maybe later, much later, I'll go wherever we would be happy. Then I'll run after a time that will never exist again because it stood still when you left.

Do you know that the idea that I already knew back then, the connection. Is it a gift to you that I might give back at some point or make me very, very happy? I wish that all the women in the world could be as happy as I once was for just a few minutes. It's enough for a lifetime! I thank you!

I often think about your words. They still ring in my ears today. Words whose meaning I didn't understand at the time. I couldn't do it either. You pointed the meaning of your thoughts and feelings then. And I hear the shrill ringing of the phone in the night and then your voice. How many times have I experienced this, a hundred times I have tormented myself with it.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to help you. The word in general - no, the concept of fear - how different it appears. How many fears have I endured for you? I think you have to be afraid in order to be able to love. When you “have yourself again,” you know what a gift you have. Fear and love - two completely different words. And yet they belong together. I think of your words:

"The most important thing in life is living and sometimes I think we are already dead and we just don’t know it yet!”

That was four years ago in Milan.

I didn't want to understand your words, I couldn't understand how you - just now so unspeakably satisfied - came to this outburst. All I knew was that the fear that was almost squeezing my throat at that moment would never leave again.

And then everything came at once.

It was at this time that I learned to value minutes. I know how much you still have in seconds and that two or three words can be the greatest treasure in the world. Because they can take away the fear and tension and give happiness and satisfaction.

Just a few words... and yet they are the most important thing in life.

Why am I writing to you? Maybe to relieve myself. Maybe also to free myself from the pressure that rests on me. It feels so good to say everything and say everything you would never say!

My thoughts are with you more than ever and it is so difficult to always be composed and maintain my composure. How often do I ask myself: “What’s all this for?"

It has become so pointless and everything is so empty. Tears are the only salvation. They help, as grotesque as that may sound.

How many times have I read your letters. I'll know them by heart soon. It's the few moments when I'm happy, as always, when my thoughts are with you.

I will never forget any of your words. Your gestures are familiar to me and your fear is also clear to me.

I could paint your face with my eyelids closed - if I had the talent.

I thank you for everything! I will always think of our melody: "Love is here to stay for ever - love is imperishable!"

It will be so!

Please, teach me to live on.

Good night

My love

My love forever

I feel you deserve to know that the toonkind dnd server was watching the iron girder vs taffy train poll so closely and as soon as it closed we all cried and cheered together w the biggest bottles. taffy is made of love and hope and sweets and she just loves so so much even after death

This is lovely! I'm glad you guys had so much fun!

[arolesbianism]

Just realized I forgot to post these

[musubiki]

Was there ever a moment for Oscar and Ikasumi? Or is that an on and off again idea that is still in the works? Or just a "Lol dommy goth mommy please step on me" one sided phase?

thats still in the works!!!!!!!! a recent development with oscar is he has a slight playboy streak that he developed just as a consequence of picking up girls that lime rejects!! its one of those "Ah lime turned me down!!! but this guy (oscar) is kinda cute too...he seems like the wholesome type..." and then for reasons unspecified, it doesnt work out. no one ever SEES it end, its just "Oh so hows [girl oscar is dating]?" "Oh we broke up! Yeah she didn't like all the ghost videos i watch haha" or some random ass reason?????? in any case, oscar has a slightly bad habit of going "Oh youre not doing anything huh? Why not go out with me?"

eventually this reaches ikasumi, who was not in the batch of women who lime rejected BUT oscar took an interest in her because, yes, goth mommy hot (LMFAO). ikasumi by nature is very "Leave me alone, golden retriver boy." BUT shes also a broke artist, so it becomes "C'mon, food my treat?" "What time and where" so they do date for a time!!!

i also dont have it ironed out how it ends between them but certainly by the time the post-timeskip begins and theyre all living in the capitol, ikasumi considers him her "Annoying ex-boyfriend," who pops into magg-lynns antiques regularly and flirts with her+tries to get her to go out with him again at every chance

(at one point this pops up in a conversation with lime. says something like "Oscar, maybe you should just leave her alone already. You can get other girls." out of concern, and oscar just smiles and goes "I guess. She's the only one I really liked, though." and everyone just STARES at him in SHOCK)

[kirbytripledeluxe]

being part of a system sucks for a lot of reasons ok. but not being able to decorate a profile for yourself because you have to share with everyone else is surprisingly high on that list

The OC Shuffle Unit Project [by Taffy]

[playlist]The culmination of several years of effort mostly consisting of delays, it's the final version of the Shuffle Unit project: 64 OCs broken up into 11 units each with a unique costume design to boot; I tried to be generous with giving them alternate hairstyles as well. You can find the full introduction up at the top followed by unit introductions, playlists, and official unit costumes.

With proper credits (name drop & link) you can dress your own OCs in these as well!

Below the cut you can find text versions of the unit introductions with some additional details.

Aquamarina

[aqua blue; summer concept K-pop Group]

A rebellious unit who's Lives are like an endless beach party full of aquatic themes & summer vibes. They focus on an upbeat pop sound and powerful dance moves. Known for their showy outfits and use of water guns during lives. Founded by Leader Shasa Aquarius (prev. of Perwinkles) and built around her image, Aquamarina has rebellious attitude with some "gal" vibes. Sub-Leader Carnelia Alkaev helps the members with training: youthful ocean-loving idol Hiromi Nakaei, the chaotic mini-skirt Queen Lóa Hazumi, and the lazy short-shorts King D'mitri Vlček.

Golden Rosetto

[golden yellow; glamorous jazzy J-pop Unit]

A glamorous unit known for their high heels, their classy & mature image, and the scarves on their costumes, which they use in their choreography. They aim for an elegant image and crisp jazzy sound. Though there were several auditions, Golden Rosetto aims to keep a small line-up led by robot Leader MirA and ballroom dancer Center Shiha who's cool, doll-like expressions set the standard for the unit's image. Flashy ex-model Kotone Nishimura & the plain but tall Youko Yamagi round out the quartet.

Periwinkles

[periwinkle purple; cute concept K-pop Unit]

A cute and youthful girls' unit with a schoolgirl image; their nine-member line-up is a bi-product of the sheer number of auditions they received. A group that's always learning, they aim to do their best in song and dance. Known for their signature plaids, preppy image, and numerous charming fashionistas like Leader & Center Haoniyao Eze. On the more girlish & innocent side of the unit's image are Rai Kobayashi, Nova Tahkizaad, & Myst Bardot. Sub-Leader Rune Sibera tries to make sure each girl has a chance to be center: tech-loving Alice centers Q&A, Ranya Kamau co-centers What is Love?, Alala Koteas co-centers Oh! and Kanna Tamemi co-centers Ah-Choo.

Peppermints

[peppermint red; swinging Show Choir]

A peppy unit with a classy vintage look, a unified sound, and vivid swing dancing. Not a unit for the faint of heart, they're known for their rigorous training sessions and flawless performances. With their small formation and detailed marching-band inspired costumes, they blend the line between idol unit and show choir. The six members are broken into pairs of dance partners; though there's some consideration given to seniority, there is no leader. Jazz-loving robots Elloe & Megami often take Center position flanked on one side by the short duo Alessi Radiata & Lirio Alstromer and on the other side by resident perfectionists Haruna Inoue & Hae-Eun Seia.

Midoriiro Youthful Sound Off! (MYSO!)

[bright green; dance focused J-pop Unit]

A gathering place for girls who want to enjoy some idol activities while focusing on their dance. Known for their high energy performances and ability to thrive in large venues. Their lives are characterized by an upbeat sound, intense dance numbers, and formations that spread them out to fill up large stages. Leader Oriuim Livrig values the team's lively energy; her picks from the auditionees were based on that alone bringing less-skilled but athletic members like Kawaru Rokajo, Maria Iguchi, Rig Brandt, and Araminta Ebert. Balancing it out are trained dancers Yoshimi Negiwa and Micah Rhee. As she sees it, you can learn dance but you can't learn stamina and lung capacity.

Midnight Troupe

[midnight blue; dramatic elegant Theater Troupe]

An edgy unit with a theater theme and symphonic sound. They do their performances in dramatic costumes with a dramatic sound. Their concerts follow a plot, more like a musical, heavily utilizing story lines that are usually narrated by Rangi Vale in the role of Death, one of several resident weirdos. Their stories often have more villains or morally gray roles since Daisey Kurr, Hermes, and Flora Tahkizaad are known to argue over them. In their current play, Aisling plays the determined protagonist, Pancha Espinosa her unfortunate prince, and S'hahar Silverplume the double-crossing dragon; the other roles are the Evil Queen (Daisey), her daughter (Flora), and the Evil Witch (Hermes).

They network with other units to bring their stage-plays to life with more performers: Black Curtain is their backing band and members of MY COLOR*GLITTERING STORIES (which Pancha mentors) are brought in as ensemble members.

Miracle! Magical! Sunshine Troupe

[sunglow orange; magical kids Theater Troupe]

A fun unit with a Magical Girl & Tokusatsu theme. They put on theatrical lives full of silly songs that follow a story. Their sound and image pretty kiddie, but they appeal to anyone with joy in their heart & a love for the imaginative. Known for their quirky members like Kugumi Isotake, who doesn't want to be here, shadow-Leader Mana Kaiuwaihui's lack of solos (and any voice lines??), story-writer Ume Kuromori who can never remember her lines, tokusatsu-loving Kit Smith who approaches her roles with a little too much enthusiasm, and local clown Tamon Little who's accidentally clocked Kugumi at least three time in dance practice, and twice on stage .

Pinkies

[baby pink; delicate girly J-pop Unit]

A childish unit with a gentle and whimsical feel to it. They specialize in cute, country, and retro songs with a soft and delicate feel. Their costumes are usually heavy in guazey fabrics, bright pastels, and pom-poms to represent their fluffy and sweet image. They follow a seniority system making Cassiel Sear their leader; she prioritizes friendship between members. The members are known for their gentle personalities (esp. Rim Baris), refined manners (esp. Heather Aveneill), soft voices (esp. Snow Lîm), and otherwise angelic or childish images (esp. Miyuki Ogawa). They're considered a little-sister unit of Periwinkles with whom they do joint practices.

Black Curtain

[true black; serious Rock Band]

An edgy rock band that sets their feelings to music. They often disagree but they're on the same page when it comes to the quality of their sound. Their heavy sound and edgy image make them perfect to double as Midnight Troupe's backing band. Though they're not all as loud about it, each one is just as much a perfectionist as the other; due to a united dislike of authority there is no leader for better or worse. Pop-Punk lover Piper Sukkal'kira'na plays backing bass and provides the bulk of their vocals; song-writer & practiced guitarist Angel Rodriguez plays lead guitar and provides additional vocals; agressive rebel Rakko Kinaki works hard to impress as lead-bass; trained pianist & peace keeper Sagiso Snøherrsen provides keyboard and softer backing vocals; and the somewhat insane Clare Riis enjoyes tearing it up on the drums & laughing when the others argue.

Ivy & Edelweiss

[fern green; whimsical Acoustic Band]

A laid-back unit with an "open to anyone" policy and a "my pace" attitude. They focus on simple acoustic songs using whatever instrument looks fun in the moment. Known for their ability to invoke emotions especially joy, longing, and nostalgia. They like to invoke the image of a chill garden party with airy and gentle vibes. Leader Parker Corbell, prev. of Golden Rosetto, formed Ivy & Edelweiss to accomodate new members especially kids who didn't see themselves as musicians. With her on acoustic guitar and co-leader Clancy Delahaye's robust knowledge of imporvising rhythem on the open sea, they provide the instrumental groundwork that allows members Mara ki'Zemeur, Zofia by S.H., and Victor Gilani to learn at their own pace. The only ironclad rule is that everyone has take a turn singing, even if their too shy to do so normally. Like Pinkies, Ivy & Edelweiss fosters a sense of community among the members.

Glittering Stories ٭ My Color

[member color or white; ethereal lyrical Dance Choir]

A soothing unit with a choir-like sound and simple dances. They focus on ballads and constellation themes. Known for their elegant ballet like dance moves (lyrical dance) and delicate harmonies. Each member is described as an individual constellation with an emphasis on showcasing their individual skills, storylines, and image colors. Leader Almondine Aeyasumear, prev. of Midnight Troupe, established the unit to accomodate new members with more elegant aesthetics and a desire to put on beautiful performances; she's represented by Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown. Lavi Ummnikkal (Leo, the lion) and Tien Janvier (Pyxis, the compass) joined to hone their talents; Center Eulalia Oudinet (Cygnus, the swan) embodies the unit's elegant aesthetic with her trained dance moves; and Aloque (Columba, the dove) and Ella Tsai (Argo Navis, the ship) bring their skills as a travelling singers and a ballroom dancer respectively. Pancha of Mightnight Troupe uses his years of choir training to help the group practice.

Introducing a fresh new Inkadian band: Sealestial!!

Consisting of Dory, an Inkling, and Nelly, an Octoling! They make electro swing music!! Nelly makes the music and Dory provides most of the vocals, though Nelly might sing a little bit too. They don’t host news or anything, they just provide music for battles!

Dory’s full name is Dorian and he’s my Splatoon self insert!! Nelly is my version of Agent 8!! Dorian meets her some time after she escapes the Deepsea Metro and forms a band with her.

Nelly is a Graneledone boreopacifica, also known as the deep-sea octopus:

Notice that they have very big round eyes, which I tried to emulate in Nelly’s eyes (as opposed to Dorian’s which are more angled). They’ve been described as ���googly eyed”. Also, the deeper they live, the more wart-like thingies they have on their bodies, which I showed in Nelly’s tentacles!! I chose this octopus since it’s from the deep sea (I know 8 isn’t actually from the Deepsea Metro, but it’s how I associate them).

Dory is a Doryteuthis opalescens, also known as the opalescent squid:

And this is his normal appearance:

I plan to make some songs for Sealestial eventually once I learn how…

[dearestaeneas]

also yeah one of the characters in hh is named ulysses. which works because i hate him :) hope this helps

[himbosandhardwear]

"Look who's talking, Mr Ponytail and a Crop Top," Steve says with a smartass grin.

Eddie looks down. "Huh?"

"You," he waves toward Eddie's general vicinity, "looking like some kinda Metal Cheerleader." He noticably swipes his tongue over his bottom lip.

Okay. This is it, this is the perfect moment to tell Steve he's sending signals that he definitely doesn't understand he's sending.

"Steve," he has to clear his throat before continuing, "I need to tell you something."

He leans in, wide eyed and focused. "Yeah?"

That's not helpful. "Um. So, to guys like me... Gay," he chokes out, still hard to say aloud even though he knows Steve knows, "sometimes you say things or do things that come off as...flirty. And I know you didn't know," he rushes to explain, "but I wanted to make you aware. To not do that. You know, in case the wrong person overhears it. It's a safety concern," he finishes lamely. Safety concern! Ugh. More like 'You're breaking my heart, I can't take much more of it.'

He waits for Steve to say something but he's just blinking owlishly.

"Steve?" He prompts, concerned.

"......yeah?" He finally seems to come back to himself. His eyes drift away, over Eddie's shoulder. "So...you want me to stop flirting?"

"Yeah, just in case, you never know who-" Wait. What? "What?"

Steve still isn't looking him in the eye. "What?" He mumbles.

"Did you say..." He can't even repeat it, it sounds like putting words in his mouth, but he did say that, right?

"Yeah. Sorry. I'll stop. I didn't realize it was bad, I guess. I thought... It's stupid. Nevermind. I'm gonna, um, take off actually. I'll see ya around, maybe."

He hops off the back of the van and actually starts walking away, like they're not 6 miles from his house. That snaps Eddie out of the paralysis spell he was under, adrenaline taking over like a bump of cocaine.

"No!" He shouts, like an insane person, and then takes it one step further by jumping up and tackling Steve into the grass.

"Uggff," Steve grunts when Eddie accidentally shoulders him in the gut, but he ignores the embarrassment in favor of crawling up his body so they're eye to eye.

He gets Steve's face between two hands and smooshes it. "Were you flirting with me on purpose?" He shouts.

"Are you serious?" He mumbles, half coherent, through pursed lips. "I'm gonna jump into the quarry."

"Answer the question!" He rattles Steve's head a little bit, for good measure.

"I work for Scoops Ahoy." Steve deadpans, unamused.

Eddie is going to throw one hell of a tantrum in a second. "Steve."

He smacks Eddie's hands away from his face. Doesn't bother to move out from under Eddie, he notes absently. "Yes, dude, obviously I was flirting with you on purpose! I thought that was, like, an understood thing that was happening. Why are you surprised?"

He feels like he's losing his mind. Why are you surprised the grass is made out of taffy? Would've made more sense as a question.

"Because you're straight." The duh is implied.

Sensibly, he asks, "Why would I flirt with you if I was straight?"

Eddie becomes very aware of every inch they are pressed together. Aware of the sound of the leaves rubbing together in the wind, aware of Judas Priest still playing through his speakers. Love Bites is a hell of a track to be having this revelation to.

"You're not straight?"

"No."

"And you were flirting?"

"Yes."

"With me?"

He rolls his eyes, not an ounce of bitchiness lost to his embarrassment. "No, Eddie, with the crusty blanket on your van floor. Yes, of course with you- Mmmphh!"

They probably shouldn't be making out on the ground at Settlers Quarry in broad daylight but, honestly, the shambling corpse of Jason Carver could show up right now and Eddie would not give two shits. Steve slides a hand down the back of Eddie's pants, grabbing what little bit of ass cheek he has, and Eddie thinks, Hope you're watching from hell, you bastard. Enjoy the show.

For Bruce Wayne, I wonder how he'd handle an oral fixation. Like reader usually has to have candy in her mouth...just a thought idk 😭

MINORS DNI 18+

NOTES: DC is for December Event! — request DC characters.

“Stop fidgeting.” BRUCE WAYNE’s large hand squeezes yours as he issues the instruction, his voice is as soft as you can expect to be, and the words roll of his tongue like velvet—it’s enough to make you forgive him for bossing you around. “Come here.” Expertly, he draws you to his front, caging you between him and the limousine. In an almost paternal way, he begins to fix you up. Any stray crease is smoothed, and your jewelry is straightened. Even his hand pets down any hair that got caught up in your outfit he paid for. He hears the hard candy rattle around between your teeth, and his cold blue gaze raises to meet yours. The kind of intimidation that makes you smile nervously. “Either finish it, or get rid of it.”

Now safe and sound in the comforts of his luxurious manor, he’s far more patient. Another soft velvety command purrs from his throat as the pad of his thumb taps your lips. “Open up…” You don’t ignore him, obediently parting them as he toys with them. He swirls your lips around like taffy until you raise your head to take the tip of his thumb into your mouth, trying to position it to suck on. He doesn’t let you get comfortable just yet, making you work for it, while his other hand works you open from the inside. Cock, hard and heavy, lounges on your thigh until you’re ready to take him. Right now, you need a little more time to adjust. Your mind fades while your focus hones in on the object in your mouth, warm and rough it swirls around your tongue like it’s mimicking it, enacting a hypnotizing groove like a charmed snake.

“That’s better, isn’t it? This is what you needed…” he muses while he watches your eyes flutter closed as he finally concedes. His thumb relaxes so you can hollow out your cheeks on it, lips surrounding the knuckle in a perfect pillowy circle. Two of his more curious fingers begin to trace your clit the same way that he did your tongue, and your newly empty hole pulses with the loss of pressure.
