You can't just say bed time.

Your sweet tea has to have a hole in it and spill all over your art piece, foot, and the floor.

we all know human vigilante… but what about… slightly human vigilante

Yo did you get Charlie Cox to pose with a red thread in your bio pic and does that mean he knows about the (amazing btw) fic it references?

Also, totally bonded with some other nerds at a con game show event called “Fluff or Smut” over the Red Thread fic.

I did, and you can't see it in the photos but the thread is even lit up! It was so cool! And hilariously, as best I could tell, he has ZERO idea what it meant. They rush you through the photo op pretty quick so I basically got to walk up, say hi, shake his hand, and then I said, 'could you hold the other end of this red thread at the center of your chest?' He loved that it lit up and thought it was cool but there was no recognition as far as I could see (and thank god, I might have frozen if he'd known what it meant, and then i'd pass out and they'd have had to call an ambulance and my collapse would have been on the news and i would have died and then no one would get more fic and then you'd all have to seance me for the rest and it would have been a whole thing). I have no doubt he might find out one day (or he may have found out since last year when I got to meet him) cause it's, uh, not like TRT is hard to find at this point, there's no other DD fic this long. But at least as far as I know, he's unaware!

ALSO I LOVE THAT YOU GOT TO BOND AT THE CON OVER THAT, OH MY GOD! I've done the same thing at other cons over other fics in the past, I fucking love that my fic got to do the same thing for someone else, it feels like I got to pay forward what I got from other fics! 🥰

update from my mxtx renaissance is that I somehow never read the Shang Qinghua extra from SVSSS and i just finished it and

[mashmouths]

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell

I FORGOT I EVEN SENT THAT ASK AND YOUR RESPONSE HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK OHMSYGODDFJDJ

I seriously love your writing so much you always put a heap of emotion into it 😭😭

also adore the idea of TIM being the one who's obsessed with bear and going to such lengths just to keep seeing him, I tend to prefer happy endings so I like to think they work it out after a while but like also the angst is amazing

god the amount of yearning in this au makes me so mmmpfhhhf

god im just so sorry that it took me soo long to reply!!! you sent just as i was taking my break from tumblr and other social media :(((

i remember reading it and thinking to myself "god if i had the timbern brainworms, i could write smth for this" but then recently they've been coming back and i was a church bored out of my mind when i was like "hmmm maybe i should respond?"

and ohhh my god, when i first got it, i immediately thought about how toxic it could get and like, personally, i feel like i can't write complicated characters? if that makes sense? to me, im not very good at writing multi-dimensional characters. which to be fair, i never set out to become like a pulitzer prize winning author. i just do this for fun haha.

and like i knew that my answer to your ask was always gonna be toxic timbern but i didn't know if i could write it? ig??? bc like tim is a good person. he is!!! he just wants bear so badly. and it's past the initial physical attraction now.

he and bear are all grown up. he likes bear's wit and humor, well the wit and humor he gets to hear when bear doesn't know he's around. but bear wont let him in!!!! bear wont open himself up and tim's apologized!!!! he did!!! he doesn't even know what he did and he still apologized!!!!! and it changed nothing. bear doesn't talk to him or look at him or anything. nothing but polite professionalism.

and then one day, he sees bear on his balcony as he's swinging through the streets of gotham. and bear isn't doing anything special, he's just sitting there in sweats and no shirt and the moonlight hits his pecs just right and his shoulders are so broad and-

well he cant be blamed for stopping to take a peek, right? and maybe when he has has time he swings by more and more. just watching for longer and longer, until one day bear catches him. and as they stare at each other from opposite sides of the street, tim thinks this is it. the cold glances and frosty words are going to come back. bear's never gonna just sit on his balcony again. he's lost this too. but then-

oh.

bear sends him a hesitant wave and tim raises a trembling hand to wave back. and bear- well bear's mouth splits into a smile brilliant enough to rival the sun. beautiful like the sunrise. the promise of a new beginning. if he closes his eyes, tim thinks he can feel the sunlight's warm rays on him.

hes' hooked after that. he comes around again and again. one day bear lets him on the balcony. weeks later, bear's hugging him. weeks after that, tim's in bear's lap. and he knows it's not right. that bear thinks he's someone else. that bear doesnt want anything to do with him but how is he supposed to let this go? how is he supposed disentangle himself from bear's arms?

so he lies and he lies and he prays to any and every god he can think of, that he'll get to keep this. plus he's not really lying to bear, he's just... not talking about it! if bear asks, he'll tell him point blank. he swears it. but that's a problem for another day. things are looking up! bear said more than 5 sentences to him the other day and yesterday? he even got a small smile. it'll all work out. he'll be fine.

forced to put down hades ii by both bedtime and an unfortunate bug wherein sometimes the pause menu just opens and then 10-45 seconds later i am allowed to close it. having just a splendid time though. i, genshinpilled, do keep trying to sprint using R1 and that's not going so hot for me. we'll see what tomorrow brings!!

in other news i've been rock climbing twice a week since the start of the year and i think, for the first time in my life, i might be capable of doing the monkeybars. absolutely rabid to visit a children's playground and test my ability
