this is gonna be SO long and rambly sorry anyway i saw a post abt how babel does queer characters and it got me thinking abt why the tropes it uses would usually turn me off other stories but didn’t here

MAJOR BABEL SPOILERS //

i feel like i’d be more mad abt how robinramy ended up in babel if it marketed itself as queer lit at all or if its fans were going “WOW AMAZING QUEER REP” abt it. but no one told me any of that, so finding out they were gay was just a fun little bonus surprise to me. i get why ppl are eh abt robinramy not getting together/technically still being subtext (which i dont think is really true btw like the book literally says “robin was falling in love” but idk i guess if you were stupid you might’ve assumed that it was falling in love with oxford given how romantic some of the other language is (WHICH IS ALSO THE POINT bc i think robin’s friendship with ramy blurring into romance is why he romanticised like all his friendships/experiences in oxford BUT IM GETTING OFF-TOPIC)). i just think robin’s repression abt being gay was intrinsically tied to his attitudes on imperialism (wrt refusing to acknowledge anything that complicated his life until it was too late) and i don’t consider it a cop out or queerbait. like i genuinely don’t think robinramy could ever have gotten together without drastic alterations being made in terms of plot and character. plus i think it’s clear that kuang didn’t want to write a story with any kind of focus on romance at all, because it’s not that kind of book. there’s no successful het romance either, so it grates a lot less. the only reason romance is included at all is to show the ways in which white entitlement manifests. so the tragic way robinramy played out just made sense to me.

and i speak as someone who accidentally spoiled myself on You Know What in the middle of reading and i was like ugghh boooo dreading it the whole time expecting to roll my eyes when it happened but then when it did i was like. wow im actually not that mad LMFAO 😭😭😭 actually thematically the book sets it up so well that i believed that this was unfortunately the only way it could’ve gone. babel is about the loss and tragedy and grief that colonised people experience. it’s about the lengths people will go to to uphold empire and the lengths ppl will go to to tear it down like idk 😭 i guess it is bury your gays but it didnt bother me this time because i thought it fit thematically ❤️ i enjoy tragedy as a genre a lot and i would’ve made it gay anyway you know. thanks rf kuang for doing it for me so i didnt have to.

WHICH IS ALL TO SAY that i guess if you’re going into babel for the queer rep without appreciating that the story is fundamentally a tragedy it would feel like it’s just reusing tired tropes….. but i think the choices kuang made were rly deliberate and not in a way that feels like trauma porn or shock value. the book is fundamentally about the struggles of poc so the layer of queerness that was introduced felt like a subtle extension of the experiences of characters of colour in the book, and i enjoyed and related to it as a queer chinese person who kind of realised they had to prioritise their fight for the liberation of poc over queerness mainly because the idea of western queer liberation cannot be dissociated from imperialism and many aspects of homophobia as we know it was an export of christian european empire into our colonised countries in the first place and FUCK THIS IS A WHOLE OTHER TANGENT ABOUT HOW I THINK RAMY AS A CHARACTER IS EMBLEMATIC OF THE TENSION AND STRUGGLE THAT QUEER POC DIASPORA HAVE BETWEEN OUR IDENTITIES GODDAMNIT OK FORGET IT POST CANCELLED i just rly think babel’s handling of queer characters is fine and makes sense and i like it personally and maybe i will make a coherent analysis about it one day but that day is not today byeeeeeee

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖💖💖

(In my opinion comics also count as fics if you want to talk about your writing and comics)

Thank you @goldenlaurelleaveswrites @blueberry-macaron for the asks 💙💙

I think it's not surprise if I say I'm more confident about my comics than my writing, right...? ^^;

COMICS (choosing only 5 is HARD so I'll go with 6 + 2 bonus):

1- I'm very fond of this old one called Recharge. I wanted to draw a comic that didn't need text to be enjoyed and I'm happy of how it turned out.

2- Loneliness (less). What can I say? I LOVE Juleka and this idea had been in my mind for A LONG WHILE. Originally, I planned it as a fic, but I think it works great as a comic too (even if I'm not 100% convinced with the dialogue). I love it <3

3- The real truth. This one will always be canon in my mind. Salty? Sure. But 100% TRUE.

4- To every Lukanette fan. I really like the message I wanted to convey with this comic and how well received it was, not only in the Lukanette fandom but in general, in other fandoms as well. I'm proud of it -^v^-

5- Short-circuited. Old but 100% accurate. ALWAYS.

6- Costume. A Halloween Special comic that I love. Plus @verfound 's fic "You could say I'm a fan" based on this is PERFECTION.

BONUS: Fairy Misunderstood AU. I like some chapters better than others, of course, but I'm happy with the overall idea. I hope I can find the time to work on it again soon!

BONUS 2: The parrot series. I love that silly bird. CUTE.

Of course there's more, but I think I these are the ones I like the best? ^^;

FICS:

Would it be a surprise if I said that I prefer short fics over long fics...? But then these short fics are SO GOOD that I can't help it but want more??? Ugghh That's what usually happens to me, either when reading or writing... (and I'm so bad at finishing multichapter stories sorry ;_;) Anyway, here we go:

1- Trapped. My first fic ever (with pics!). It''s a bit embarrassing for me now but it will always hold a special place in my heart...

2- Luktober 2020 Day 6: Wild. This is a super short story I wrote a long while ago and, even though I know that the writing could be better, I really like the idea (and how short it is). -LukaNoire MY BELOVED-

3- Delivered. Plagg being chaotic with Luka? Ladybug finally getting some decent help? JuleRose and Lukanette happy ending? A pinch of salt? YES.

4- Surfacing secrets. SALT. Satisfying salt. (+ angst, + happy ending)

5- Love in the Sky. I know this one is not finished yet, but it works as a one shot too, and I really like it that way. I always struggle to write long stories, after all... (but I can't help it but get excited and write more *sigh*)

I think that's it.

Wow- this took me so long (it was fun). It made me realize that I really want to improve more and more with my writing... I'll keep working hard on it! (òvó)

Thank you for sharing the bathroom, as a fan I love to see it, but I have to say I hope B&G never hire this person ever again. What a breach of privacy. Can’t believe they have the audacity to do that. It’s like when the woman who was there to install the dock just wandered around the property and went inside the chapel. It seems like B&G don’t make these people sign any non-disclosure agreement, because they believe the people they hire are decent and have some manners. But they obviously do not . B&G have talked about this wallpaper bathroom many times now, but if they wanted to share photos of it, they would do it themselves. B&G trusted these people this is how they repay them.

Ask 2:

Ugghh. As much as i like seeing that picture, I think it was wrong for them to do that. Obviously they wanted to be recognized or something but i don't like them very much especially reading some of their replies in the comments.

I saw a few of their friends saying that Gwen should have given them credit, but the designer said that Gwen and Blake didn’t know who had done the work, so I think they were trying to set the record straight. I understand that it’s an exciting project and the designers wanting to show off their work, but it probably crossed a line.

omg thank you so much for the extremely nice notes?!?!? 🧡🧡🧡

Are you kidding ME THANK YOU???? I think this is the first fan art I’ve gotten for one of my buddie fics and I’m just so blown away!! it looks absolutely amazing! I love how it’s in a similar style to the drawing from the movie, but you can so obviously tell that it’s Eddie, and that he looks young too, like how he would’ve looked during that time period. And I love the details of the EB signature and the shading and it’s just uGGHH---EVERYTHING!! I really really love it very much! Thank you a million times!

[prythianpages]

@kennedy-brooke thank you for the tag! <3 I think I've done some of these questions before but can't remember which ones lol. I answered them again (: I've only read ACOTAR so I'm limited with some of the questions. I am currently reading Assassin's Blade and have Crescent City on my kindle too.

1) My fav SJM book is ACOMF.

2) I've only read ACOTAR so by default, that's my answer.

3) My favorite character is Lucien because he's hot and a well rounded male and has such an interesting background. I wish we got to see him more in the later books.

4) To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.

5) I love Feysand <3 which is why I kind of struggle to write for Rhys

6) I see the appeal for Elriel but I ship Gywnriel. But would go absolutely feral for Azris.

7) Am I biased for picking Lucien? Since most of the books are in Feyre's pov, I feel like he's not given the credit he deserves. He also doesn't get as much love compared to the Bat Boys/

8) Azriel because that bonus chapter in ACOSF was not what I was expecting from him lol

9) Ianthe and I'm also not the biggest fan of Amren.

10) Az is my fav bat boy. Love that mysterious dude despite that bonus chapter.

11) Though there's little we know, Summer is my fav court and I'd love to live there. Sunshine and the sea??? That's where I want to be!

12) I don't know if they count as villains as there's little we know of them but considering they're known to be menaces, I'd say the Vanserra brothers.

13) I would've left Amren dead...it felt too good to be true when both Rhys and Amren came back to life.

14) My fav theory is that Helion and Lady Autumn are mates.

15) Feyre is my fav.

16) A character you feel is over-hated/ underrated. I would say Eris in terms of being underrated. While he's very loved in this tumblr community, I feel like he's not in other acotar communities.

17) Feyre by default.

18) What’s your favourite character from each series? Sorry, I can't answer this one.

19) If you wrote an acotar book what would you call it? idk, haven't really thought of this. Maybe A Court of Light and Shadow.

20) Who is your favourite acotar blogger? There are so many! I simply cannot choose a few. But literally anyone I reblog from.

21) I do have a sideblog dedicated to fic recs @prythianslibrary

Questions for writers

22) Easiest character to write for? Cassian!

23) Hardest character to write for? Lucien and Rhys!

24) What’s a character you’d like to write for but haven’t yet? One of the other high lords like Tarquin or Helion

25) What’s a court you’d like to write about more? Summer Court

26) What’s a character you won’t write for and why? Idk tbh. I don't think I'm strongly opposed to not writing for a character. It's just a matter if I feel like I have a grasp on their personality or not.

27) If you could only write for one character ever again, who would you pick? ugghh this is so hard. I honestly can't pick between Az or Eris.

28) Whats your favourite trope to write about when it comes to Azriel? sunshine/soft reader x grumpy az

29) What do you think is the best/favourite acotar fic you’ve written? my az x seer fic!

30) Who are your favourite friendships to write about? the Valkyries

31) For first time readers to your blog, which three fics would you recommend they read?

'Cause It Was Always You | Az

Night Out at Rita's | Az x Witch reader

Like An Angel | Eris

[Ruby is sitting on a bench outside the lobby, obviously in some kind of slump...]

"Ugghh... Three days and nothing on those two girls... Damn it, Cerrin, why do you have to be such a dolt sometimes??"

[She sighs as she stands up, stretching a bit before she enters the lobby. The big screens inside are showing a team that just won a Ranked match, and two of the Octolings on the team seem familiar -- One with long twintails and pale pink eyes that contrast her natural yellow ink, and the other with curled tentacles and a ponytail, her natural purple ink color compllmenting her bright blue eyes... Just like Cerrin described.]

"Wait, that could be..."

[She then notices those two girls walking across the lobby, and her face lights up. She begins waving frantically, trying to get their attention.]

"Hey, you two! Over here!!"

[The girl with the pigtails turns, a bright smile on her face.]

"Hey, Urs, looks like we've got a fan~"

[The girl with the ponytail turns as well, just in time to see Ruby run up to them.]

"...Can I help you?"

"Well, I, uh... saw your match earlier! You two were great!"

"Thanks! Ursula's still getting the hang of things in Ranked, but..."

"...Wait, you look familiar."

"I.. I do??"

[The girl with the pigtails stares at Ruby for a moment, before she snaps her fingers.]

"That's it! You're the girl that was with that pink guy a couple weeks ago! In that restaurant!"

"Pink guy? You mean Cerrin?"

"I guess? I mean, we ran into him a few days ago, and we thought--

"Kori, can we not talk about this to a complete stranger?"

"Wait, wait! Just hear me out! My name's Ruby. I'm trying to help that guy you met, and I think just knowing your name will--"

"I'm leaving."

[The girl with the ponytail begins to walk away.]

"Oh, come on!"

"I... really should have seen this coming, haha..."

[The girl with the pigtails, Kori, quickly sidles up to Ruby and whispers in her ear...]

"Listen. Things have been a little weird since we ran into that guy... But, if you're doing what I think you're doing... Her name's Ursula Izumi."

[The girl with the ponytail, Ursula, turns back a little.]

"Kori, are you coming or not?"

"Coming~"

[The two leave. Ruby stands there a moment, slightly dumbfounded by what just happened, then shrugs a little.]

"...Okaaay... That didn't go exactly the way I thought it would. But, I have a name now, I guess..."

Momo x Male Reader

view in AFF

604 Words

Prompt: Y/N goes to a fan meeting and his bias is Momo.

A/N: Again, sorry it took so long for me to get to it. Hope I’m not sloppy with this quickie. This will be part of my gradual return to writing since my projects are almost complete.

When you were running a fansite for Twice, you didn’t expect it to pay off the way it did. JYP Entertainment announced that there were 5 special tickets to a fansign placed in albums and lucky for you, you managed to clinch one.

“You didn’t… fuck… you didn’t expect this to be the reward of the special ticket, did you?”

This summer comeback provided godly outfits, the girls smirking as you tried your best to look at their pretty faces. It was as if they were saying, “I know you are checking me out.” Last on the table was your bias, the best dancer in the Kpop industry. She looked right at you when you were recording a fancam of her, even adding a wink into the mix. Momo was drop dead gorgeous, smoking hot but yet so cute. You told her about all the things you did to support the group, smiling like an idiot the whole time.

You continue to smile like an idiot, or what resembled a smile, as she was straddled in your lap, riding you in the makeshift make up room away from the main event. Her message read “Find me backstage later. I’ll give you a present.” on your album. Following the instructions, you found Momo pacing around the back before dragging you into the empty make up room.

You both made out once more, her incessant riding adding on to the pleasure from her eager tongue. This was more than a dream come true. You often thought about meeting Twice and Momo in person, where a portion of those thoughts were lewd. “Fuck your cock is better than any other Once I’ve tried.”

You thrusted upwards, following the rhythm that she has created. Momo’s hands went passed you and gripped onto the couch, increasing the pace. That gave you the opportunity to suck her tits, which you would have considered the largest if not for Jihyo. “Yes! Suck my tits, lick my nipples… bite them.. Do whatever you want with them, they are yours.” You snaked a hand up, squeezing it harder, enjoying its softness.

With how hard you were thrusting into her tight pussy and the additional stimulation at her chest, she came without warning. You thought she was tight, but her orgasming pussy increased its tightness tenfold. “Fuck… that was good… I’m not safe today so you can only cum in my mouth.”

Being denied the opportunity to unload your cum into the depths of her cunt was disappointing. You gripped tightly on her hair, immediately shoving your cock down her throat. “Suck on it… suck on my big cock better than you did to other fans.”

Gagging sounds echoed across the small room and your grip on her hair tightened, fucking her face relentlessly. You needed to cum soon. As much as you wanted to make this last long, the culmination of the past few minutes made it hard for you to hold back. Momo upped your pleasure, fondling your balls eagerly, coaxing your release.

“Ugghh.” You groaned loudly while filling up Momo’s mouth with your cum. She swallowed as much as she could, but there was an immense amount of cum built up over weeks. She pulled out, letting the rest of your cum spurt weakly onto her face and her chest. She softly stroked your softening cock, licking the sensitive tip that made you shiver on the couch. Grabbing your phone, she opened the camera app and took a selfie with you, displaying all the cum you painted on her.

“Thank you for being a fan. I hope you’ll continue supporting us!”

[permanentreverie]

Hi lovely!! I'm sorry that you had a rough day, just remember that you're wonderful and amazing and we all love you so much!!! I'm sending you the absolute biggest hugs right now <33333

Anyway, some questions for you! Your ranking of the Midnights album (you decide if you want to include the 3 am tracks)? The 3 best books you've read recently? What's your favorite food? Your favorite thing to do during autumn? Sun, moon, or stars?

You are the sweetest angel ever thank you ♥️♥️

Ugghh ok legit like actually ranking midnights is SO HARD cause I love every single song and favour them basing on my mood?? Ok so: Maroon, Bejeweled, Lavender Haze, Mastermind, Snow On The Beach, Anti Hero, Midnight Rain, You're On Your Own Kid, The Great War, Karma, Labyrinth, Would've Could've Should've, Paris, Sweet Nothing, Dear Reader, Vigilante Shit, Question…?, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, High Infidelity, Glitch

Best books I've read recently … honestly ask me about the bad books I've read lmao I've actually read some Not Great ones this year but yay!! I reached my 2022 reading goal!!! I did enjoy quite a few books this year, and let me tell you I will not shut up about Pachinko.

Oh my gosh. Ugh. I just- THE THEMES!!! It's a story spanning generations because one naive woman refused to be bought! Who made her own decision and made her own fate! And the consequences of such! The only way I can describe that book is that it's like a piece of fruit I can keep peeling back, layer for layer, and new themes and motifs and symbolism I can discover and suck on and revel in the taste of. The tanglement of lust and love, of freedom, suffering (of women especially), familial love and duty, the struggle of identity and to belong to one specific place of being caught in the crossfire of history!! The show did not do it justice it's truly so fantastically written.

I also loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, ahhh it was so!!! I was not expecting to love it as much as I did, I'm not the biggest fan of letter format, but it was so!? Touching!? So sweet!? So wholesome!? I want to live inside that book I just adore it

I also read the Mistborn trilogy and. Oh man. Totally worth it. Listen the books are MASSIVE but it's ok!!! Because like the plot could be SO boring but it's not!? Like the entire second book is basically just waiting for the seige of Luthadel to happen, but you're there. You're invested. In the first book, you're there for every single meeting and step of the plan, for the journey. And it pays off!! The climaxes of each book are all freaking exhilarating! 200 pages of battle! I am on the edge of my seat! Not to mention like. One of the best magic systems I've ever seen written, every single character fleshed out and flawed (even the side characters), and twists and turns that just leave you going. what.

My favourite food is honestly anything Greek (hey Vasilia) but like I ADORE Mediterranean food it's my absolute jam

What I love to do in autumn is walk outside with the colourful leaves, the sound and smell is therapeutic <3

Stars!!! Moon ily girl but nothing will make me go insane quite like stars will

[sugirandom]

Yeah, I do remember that aspect of Abel seeming hypocritical and outside of that I didn't really remember his personality standing out much so I didn't really like or hate him, it's probably why I didn't watch all of the series despite owning it. Yeah, I know Vampire Princess Miyu had fans but I didn't personally know any and it originally came out before Youtube so I'm guessing that's why not many people talked about it but someone remembered the show at least and even though it was a channel I'm not fond of I appreciated that they considered the Anime to be memorable. I'm not exactly sure where you can stream Miyu, there was an OVA and the TV show and I imagine the TV show is easier to access. If you do happen to find and watch it let me know your thoughts!

Ahh I see, that makes sense. I don't assume all vampires function the same or have the same opinions within one universe and that hierarchy concept sounds mildly familiar so I must have heard of it at some time, thank you for explaining it though. I remember in Vampire Princess Miyu Lava was similar, Miyu drank his blood and now he's a loyal servant to her so similar concept I guess? I'm glad to hear you enjoyed both the OVA and the TV series. Glad you ultimately got to tsee the rest of Trigun and read it's manga even if it took a while. I know even when you could catch Anime on TV they would rerun a lot of the same episodes so it was hard to get a complete viewing that way.

It's a shame that the original Cowboy Bebop missed the point of the original. I didn't have much confidence in it since I briefly had Netflix back when they did their take on Deathnote and that was botched so badly. I think I heard the One Piece live action was received slightly better? I'm not really a part of that fandom so I wouldn't personally know but some articles on my feed seemed to suggest it was received well. Ahh, so they decided to focus on his brother? Certainly a remake making up for poor character development is understandable but not at the detriment of the rest of the plot.

Yeah, we don't get a whole lot of details for the powers of some of the Millennium items so I don't blame you for even forgetting the puzzle was one of them. I agree if Yami Bakura was more likable or if they focused more on Ryou and his struggles against his dark self the ring would have been more memorable. Yes, exactly! We do get to see that Seto isn't a stock villian or just there to be a foil to Yuugi and gang so I feel Isis' role is really important. I do agree him helping Yuugi should a lot of complexity of his character that we didn't get a lot of before. I think a lot of this was Seto rediscovering himself after the evil in his heart was destroyed and I know the Anime didn't focus on that aspect too much but I still felt like it was present if that makes sense? I don't know why 4kids made him all anti-magic either, it was pretty frustrating. I can see how Anime-only fans may have been shocked by the characterization.

Yeah and Seto could have easily just brushed it off because Kaiba Corp wasn't a military company anymore once he took over but he seems to take it in and not shirk responsibility despite making it clear that that is not his Kaiba Corp and I feel like that shows a lot of respect. I never shipped them either and I don't blame you for not liking Amelda's design. I was pretty neutral about him overall. Oh no! So not only did she share a name with your OC but she was mistreated by the plot! That's really sucks. But yeah I can relate to having an OC with the same name as a canon character being completely different personality-wise lol.

Ugghh, I hate that trope of the female protagonist becoming softer and not as compelling once she's joined the protagonist's side. I don't remember where I've seen that before but I know I've seen that before...I think Black Buttler might have been one of them? Anyway, yeah I imagine having your OTP reset wasn't any fun. We really were spoiled by Takahashi's writing. He made really compelling villains and handled their motivations even for becoming allies really well. You wouldn't think it would be a hard thing to do but I guess not everyone can achieve that balance where they still hold onto their original selves while also developing as a character.

Ahh I see, you liked him ok in Kanto. I think that makes sense. I didn't see Johto either since my last season was the filler one that came out before Johto. I do agree they made the path to becoming a Pokemon master a little vague other than befriending lots of Pokemon and defeating gym leaders. It seems like they got distracted a lot though. I can see how being a bit older would make it hard to relate to Ash, even though i was probably in the demographic I didn't like them changing too much of the game lore either and that's really why I stopped watching the Anime. I admit I find it interesting to talk to someone who never really liked Disney movies from the beginning.

I actually completely forgot the lore of his father being a strong trainer! wow, I wasn't aware they sort of shipped Oak and Ash's mom in canon. I literally just thought it was a joke among the fans so now I kinda have some context for why it's such a common thing for Youtubers I watch to joke about. It does seem like the Anime gets indecisive about what they want. I remember one of my Japanese tutors explaining to me that people who have bid appetites or eat a lot all at once tend to freak Japanese people out so I'm kinda curious how the Japanese fans received that trait lol.

Hmm yeah, I can't imagine I'd be too into that part of the lore considering how common it is to see Ancient Egyptian gods/ royalty being portrayed as villains. Yuugioh is also the only positive example I can think of. It also seems to be the only one that acknowledges the diversity within Ancient Egypt, especially in late Ancient Egyptian society because they had the tendency to adapt ideas and mythos from civilizations they conquered (and expected the same in return). Oh, I see! I guess the person who explained JoJos in a video I watched gave me the wrong impression. Thank you for clearing that up, it still sounds a bit hard to follow but I guess not once you get invested. Ahh, getting into multiple universes sounds like it might muddy things up a bit though.

Yes, I'm sure it's a different name but back in the day it seemed like using PrideShipping gave me results for both Seto and Atem in their present-day and pas-selves so I wanted to clarify just in case? I don't really remember all the names anyway and often wished I had a ship glossary lol.. Anyway, yes I think people who don't deferentiate between Yuugi and Atem would confuse Rivalshipping with Prideshipping. I'm glad to hear that Polyships get some love too. A story shipping Seto with both Atem and Yuugi certainly sounds interesting. I do think we can ignore them not explaining how he gets his own body for the sake of fanfic lol or at least we can think of it as a slight AU I guess? I do agree we're fairly close in wavelength that doing prompt requests for ships usually works out. I'm glad it's a challenge you enjoy embarking on.

Yes, I'm happy you had that opportunity to help you heal from a lot of your trauma. I imagine initially being around people who didn't care about working with OCs was difficult so it's good that you found a group of friends to encourage you. I agree that if you're going to ship the character with someone you project onto it might as well just be a self-ship so that way you aren't bending the narrative to make it fit your wish-fulfillment. I agree they have no right to judge selfshippers.

Well, You're welcome I guess? As long as you're having fun with it I'll keep supporting your blorbo fanart and writings whether it's cringe or not. I'm not surprised to hear that even with Aisu you had some tragedy. Poor Seto losing his wife and daughter while also being estranged with his son. I'm glad to hear you feel inspired to write for them again. I guess I should say thank you and you're welcome as well lol.

Yeah, I barely remember the story of X and Y to be honest. I just remember it as the first game I got all Eeevelutions so I was super excited about that. I imagine it did get dull just battling with the same group of shinies all the time. I understand why you would prefer to battle with friends instead. I do agree a person's Pokemon team does reflect a lot about them and the kind of strategies they have. Certainly respect people using their personal preferences rather than simply picking the strongest Pokemon. Glad you at least can have a challenge against your brother tho.

As the title says this is a mixed dub. Atem is in English and Seto Japanese. So hope you don’t mind. But I do just love the duels in the movie…!

Sugirandom: Ahh, yes I thought when this started that he was using a simulation, dueling in a church does seem dramatic lol. I guess having it be dubbed subbed mix actually made it easier for me to pick up on it being the simulation too because of the disconnect. I don't mind too much, the duel is always epic and it's nice to hear the dub alongside the OG soundtrack instead of 4Kids' music. I really like

Atem's japanese voice though so I'd like to see the whole movie in Japanese one day. I feel like in Japanese Yuugi and Atem sounded more like the same person, he had the deeper voice and different vibe but the voices weren't so different that it felt like the voice was from two seperate bodies.. IDK if that makes sense, I guess it felt like it was easier to imagine that Yuugi was 'possessed' by Atem's spirit in the Japanese version to me.

IDK why I went on that tangent sorry, the CGI in the movie is nice too, it's blended it in nicely and not distracting like some Anime CGI can be! Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks @courtneyshortney82 for the tag!

I’m modifying this to FFnet since that is where most of my works are posted. I am trying to re-edit everything and eventually transfer it to AO3.

1. How many works do you have on AO3 (FFnet)?

7

2. What’s your total word count?

779,9999

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos (favorites…I guess this would be the FFnet equivalent)?

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

Wasn’t Born an Angel

It Only Hurts When I Breathe

Bloodline

Hang Your Halo at the Door

4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes! I always respond to comments…comments and reviews just make my day! I feel so bad because back when I first started publishing my multi-chapter Bethyl fics, I was still not really tech-savvy. I didn’t know there was an option to respond to reviews or comments, so I thanked everyone for their support in my author’s notes for the next chapters. I finally figured out that I could respond to reviews, and ever since then, I have been thanking everyone individually for their support.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Ugghh…that’s a hard on! Since both of my major works are still WIPS…and well, they’ll have relatively happy endings, it is hard to answer this one. I will say that the fic that has the most bittersweet ending (the saddest for the “main” characters) is Bloodline.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

It Only Hurts When I Breathe. This is by far the most tragic thing I will ever write, but it probably has the happiest ending I could imagine.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I’ve never written a crossover, but I think there are several interesting worlds/fandoms I would love to attempt to write Bethyl crossovers with.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yes.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Ummm…yes…but can we call it “erotica”! LOL! I have no idea what is meant by “what kind”.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, both of my large WIP Bethyl fics have been stolen and reposted on Wattpad. Fortunately, I was able to get them taken down. I would have never know but for loyal readers who let me know that it had happened.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone asked my permission to translate my fic I Will Follow You Into the Dark into Portuguese and post it. I gave my permission, but I don’t know whatever came of it!

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I think that would be difficult for me because I am really stubborn about my own writing!

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Bethyl

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I really plan on finishing all of my WIPs, especially my epically long Bethyl fics (although it may be years to come when there is no one left reading in the fandom). I want to finish everything, but the fic that I haven’t worked on in a while is Hang Your Halo at the Door. I love the premise of it, it is the only non-ZA AU I have ever attempted, but I’m having difficulty finding time to work on it.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I pride myself on emotions and character’s inner discourse that really emphasizes their POV sections. I also really love writing the small, beautiful moments…moments that might just be mundane and normal, but stringing those together into scenes that make up the lives of the characters and the foundation of their relationships…that is one of my favorite things ever! I don’t know if these are actually my strengths, but these are the things I pride myself on and love.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Smut/Erotic scenes

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I don’t think this really applies to my fandom, but if I were to write something where the my characters came into contact with individuals who spoke a different language, I would love to include it in my fic for realism!

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Way before I started writing fic for the Bethyl fandom, I wrote two one-shots for my favorite couple from a book series called The Black Dagger Brotherhood. I haven’t read over them in a while, so compared to my Bethyl fics, they are probably really poorly written, but I remember being really proud of each of them. I didn’t actually participate in a fandom at the time, I just wrote them because I loved the books and recently discovered that fan fiction was a thing. When I posted them, I was even less technologically savvy than I am now; I don’t even think I tagged them how I was supposed to…but everyone has to start somewhere, right?

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Wasn’t Born an Angel

I think most everyone I know who writes has probably been tagged. If you haven’t, please feel free to play! It’s fun!

[givenanicatsomeanimecrack]

Now....

May I present to you some of my favourite panels. This is just a boring post but I do want to appreciate these last chapter panels. :') Btw, this might be a spoiler for some of you. So, go read chapter 402 first.

"Tanaka's house", I repeat "TANAKA'S HOUSE"!!

Doesnt it make you smile knowing they are together now?? I am not a shipper but I do have an ideal who gonna be with who in mind as I read any manga. For example, I always thought Suga would be with Kiyoko but mannn...how Furudate loudly says he wouldnt entertain me in any way. Asdfghjkl.

Oniku

I know Tanaka's shirt makes you wanna go..

Oniku niku niku oniku niku, awasate oniku oniku, oniku niku, oniku banzai, genki byakumai, woohoo hallelujah! hallelujah!! Oniku kamisama, oniku kamisama!!

Asanoya or whatever the ship named.

Maaaaa. They travel together isnt it??!!!! Ahhhh. It's been so long, Nishinoyaaa!!! It would be better if he were to join in the party instead. Idk I feel like it has been so long since we saw this energetic ball talking. And where is the other year 2 memberssss??!!!

SEPAKTAKRAWWWW??!!

Tbh, this is the thing that take me off guard the most!!! I am living in the origin country of sepak takraw and Furudate deciding Michimiya as sepak takraw player is making me touched. Btw, why she isnt together with Daichi. Okey..bye.

Oika-senpai

I read this chapter so fast as I was so excited that I read Oika as Oink at first. Lol. Still can't believe how their relationship has progressed this far. Ugghh. The hug looks warm, maybe a room for one more isnt too much.

Iwaizumi

I've read a post on how they're touched on why Iwaizumi was taking sport science. Obviously it is related to Oikawa and some said he want to work with Oikawa in the future and find alternatives to make Oikawa play in a safe environment and minimizing any sport injuries. But, idk...the face shown above is basically told us he wanted to break some of Oikawa's bone. Kekekkeke.

...

Ahhh..it is really ending, huh. Honestly Im not a fan of that timeskip especially when Furudate did it four time (I think). I put my hope too high that I was expecting Hinata and Karasuno having a reborn in the next year and maybe we can witness Ennoshita and Yamaguchi leadership. But hey, it is still a great story and it wouldnt be too much to call it as one of the greatest sport anime.

Again, thank you Furudate sensei.

[float-me-now]

Hey there! For the t100 asks about the show being over, how about 16, 17 & 40? I'm still too annoyed to write any meta about it, but maybe after Halloween is over for me since my family does a big yard display (usually a party too but not this year BOOOOOO). Interested in hearing what you have to say!

Hi! Oh, I feel you, I already wrote a 40-something-points meta-rant about this season. Shame for the party, but I hope your Halloween will be great anyway :) So, let's get into the asks!

16. What was the saddest death of the series?

Oh boy. I don't know if I can name just one, and I have to divide that in two categories. The people whose deaths I hated the most because I liked the characters so much were Roan, McCreary and Kane. The saddest as in 'most dramatic and impactful' to me were Sinclair (ugghh poor Raven don't even get me started on that) Lincoln (maybe the most heroic one), Monty and Harper, Jasper (seeing the once happy and cheerful boy commit suicide was ughh) and Diyoza's death. Honorable mention for Tor Lemkin and Bellamy Blake (whose death was more shitty than sad honestly)!

17. What was the happiest moment of the series?

Hmm that may sound banal maybe, but I think it is in the pilot, when Octavia touches the ground, yells "we're back bitches" and everyone smiles and starts running around. I don't really know how to explain that but to me that moment is pure freedom and joy! A similar one is in the season 3 pilot, with them singing in the Rover and Octavia running with Helios alongside them. Raven and Murphy playing soccer on Eligius IV is also a pretty beautiful moment (Murphy shouting and Raven's laugh, wow), and Monty hugging Murphy in season 4 when he went back for him is a close one too.

40. Do you have any headcanons about what happens to the surviving characters after the final scene?

This is a tricky question to me because my fantasy is really poor in terms of imagining stories and such, and about that finale of all things... but I'll try!

I can see Levitt being terrible at camping because he grew up on a place where everything was about technology, and Octavia has to teach him everything about earth skills (he learns fast but I can also see Indra scoffing and facepalming in the background when he fails lmao).

Since I'm so pissed because we rarely see our characters have like a “positive closure” with their dead loved ones, here goes: Echo and Hope tell stories about the time they spent on Skyring with Gabriel, and a lot of them are hilarious because Gabriel was a super nice person and very fun too. Jordan would remember the time he spent with Monty and Harper, Hope and Octavia tell stories about how cool and loving Diyoza was because they want her to be remembered as a good person and not a terrorist while Echo, Raven and Murphy remember Bellamy on the ring, how he was always there for them and he was always optimistic about going back to the ground. Clarke tells them about the time she spent alone with Madi, how she became her daughter.

Jackson and Murphy become friends after Eric realises that Murphy feels really bad about Abby and that it wasn’t his fault she died.

They also mourn Kane, since stupid season 7 forgot him

Miller finally forgives himself for the things he did in the bunker, and becomes close with Octavia and Jordan, also because he can see a bit of Monty and Harper in him.

Echo takes up the hobby of creating small jewellery for her friends and they love it.

Murphy and Raven bicker like all the time, they spend a lot of time together (especially because Murphy wants to be useful and help around and Raven knows he needs this, so she gives him tasks). She also teaches him how to craft basic stuff and she’s super proud of him. They're Picasso's number one fans.

Hope also likes Picasso and takes her for long strolls with Jordan, Clarke and Gaia (yay for team short blond hair). Echo spends hours petting her and making braids in her fur.

Gaia finally manages to teach Clarke some meditation to find peace.

Miller and Jackson get officially married with a grounder ceremony officiated by Gaia. 

Also, they find the Rover, which has miraculously survived, Raven fixes it and they can go explore the place and go on long trips.

Whew!

Thank you so much for your ask and your interest, I’m surely reading that meta when you write it! :D

A Man On Fire - Chapter 81

“Everything’s ready outside” walking back inside the kitchen, he was met by a spoon full of homemade guacamole “taste! Needs a lot more garlic, doesn’t it?” she puffed a strand of hair out of her eyes looking a little bewildered. “It’s absolutely perfect..” he licked his lips and then looked at the kitchen counter with a million pots, pans, bowls with the most delish food “wooow, wait a minute, you’re cooking up a feast and it’s just a little evening with friends” grinning he took another scoop of the guacamole. “I know but..no, I don’t know, I just thought it’s easier to talk with some good food..oh I still need to make the mozza bowls, arrghh” she spun on her heels but he grabbed her arm “will you just chill? You’ve done more than enough so you go take a nice shower, make yourself even prettier than you already are, I’ll take all this outside in the meantime..oh and stop being nervous, they’ll adore you, trust me”. He pulled her in his arms to plant a soft kiss on her lips that got too deep too quickly “stop it, I’m sticky” she pulled back, waving her fingers covered in guacamole and tomato sauce in front of his face, which was his queue to slowly put two of her fingers in his mouth, ohhh god, erotic much? She already felt her stomach tingle “Oh no you don’t, I know what you’re up to mister, no way, you’ll just have to wait until your bedtime”. That sexy, silly pout of his, walk away now or find yourself shoved against a kitchen counter while he takes you from behind, just the thought of her body being completely owned and possessed by him had her all moist, “Ok ok ok, I don’t like it, but ok” he let her fingers slip out of his mouth and reluctantly let go of her. “Good boy!” she quickly wiped her hands on a towel and hopped on out the kitchen, Jared had a grin from ear to ear until she was out of sight and was met again by a kitchen that looked like a bomb had exploded, sighing he opened the dishwasher door, it’s only fair, she cooked, you clean.

Hair, outfit..hmm, I don’t know, should I wear th.. her thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell, ok leave it, it is what it is, you did your best, nervously she walked down the stairs, Jared was on his way to open the door when she walked down, wowww, she looked absolutely breathtaking. “You look..gorgeous” he smiled up at her, the fact that his friend were on the other side of the door completely forgotten about, “thank you! Uhm floppy hair, your friends are waiting” she giggled. “Heellooo sexy” a skinny, dark haired girl jumped in his arms, purring in his ear, a few friends he said..god, I hope there’s enough food for everyone, she took the last steps and slowly walked up to the bunch of people trickling inside. Should I introduce myself? Stop being so awkward De Robiano, just smile and act confident with the emphasis on ‘act’, “you must be Jared’s new flame” one of the girls noticed her standing behind Jared, “I’m Harper Coco, nice to meet you” she extended her hand, too formal maybe? I’m just not a hugger. The girl lifted her eyebrow at Jared like this was probably the most awkward way that she had been greeted in her entire life, yep Harper, you fucked up, what was it your mother said ‘you can never make a first impression twice’?. But after a few seconds she took Harper’s hand and lightly shook it, ugghh fishhands, Harper uncomfortably pulled back her hand, luckily Jared saved the day “alright alright, you know the way, we’re in the garden” he pointed at the back of the house. “You ok?” he whispered as the gang headed towards the back of the house, “yep, I’ll just go get the bottles” she smiled but he could see the nervous clench in her jaw, “it’s gonna be fine, trust me” he kissed the tip of her nose.

By the time every guest had a drink and something to eat, it was an hour later and the excited conversations were flowing around the table, with all her walking in and out there was only one spot free tucked away at the end of the table. Plopping down on her chair, she took a sip of her wine and tried to follow the conversation, but they were all so wrapped up in each other that she couldn’t get two words in, Jay looked completely in his element though, talking and laughing. Stop stressing, just enjoy the moment, enjoy your man who is in his element like you’ve never seen him before, she leaned back, lit up her cigarette and took a sip of her wine, the weather here reminded her of those Italian summer evenings in a way but did she warm up to LA yet? Nope! Not really, this just wasn’t her home..yet..would it ever be? Come on, make an effort, your man calls it home, then surely you can too. While the rest of the table was reminiscing about previous tours and things only they could know, the guy on her right gave her a friendly smile “so, how’s LA treating ya?”. She gave him an equally friendly smile back “I’m still trying to find my way round I guess..it’s not New York, that’s for sure!” he had really friendly eyes and seemed pretty genuine which was so refreshing in LA-la land. “I’m sorry, where are my manners? I don’t think we’ve been introduced, I’m Harper Coco” she extended her hand which he grabbed and gently shook “Oh you’re right, sorry, I’m Cooper..I’m with Marie-Lou” he pointed at one half of the twin sisters who are curling around Jared. “Aha..” she looked to get a better look of the girl but nah..still ordinary, oh for crying out loud Coco, stop it, for all you know she might be the sweetest woman alive “..and what does Cooper do, besides being Marie-Lou's boyfriend?” she turned her attention at the man again, “I work for a local art dealer”. Her head shot up, he really had her attention now “oh! You buying or selling? Contemporary or classic?” she took another drag of her cigarette, “I’m a buyer and I also scout new talent, shame that you signed with Charles already” he gave her a coy smile “your work is so, so..amazing!”. What?? A fan? “you know my work?” she said genuinely surprised, “know your work? Oh Harper, you really are too precious, how can anyone not be a fan of your work? everyone in the business is asking where Charles has kept you hidden for so long? Your work is such a breath of fresh air..it’s shocking and relevant and completely..” he rambled but paused to find the right words “new..it’s unlike anything anyone has ever seen before”. A warm blush crept around her cheeks, she never knew what to do with compliments of this magnitude “Uhm..thank you”, she wanted to shout at him that she was in a complete panic now that all her inspiration seemed to have dried up but she kept her cool and gave him a grateful nod instead.

”Excuse me a second, I think everyone is ready for a second round of drinks and nibbly things” she got up from her chair, oh come on Jay, get up for a second and help me, talk to me, I just want a few minutes with you, but he didn’t even notice, too wrapped up in his conversations. “Need some help?” Cooper spontaneously got up as well and followed her back to the house, in the kitchen she started rummaging through the fridge, taking out a huge pitcher of L’americano cocktail and then started taking out what seemed like a hundred different bowls of delish food “oh my, a crazy talented painter and a cook as well, Jared is a lucky man”. She never was good with compliments and this man was full of them “thank you, you’re too kind, but why don’t we take all this outside and then you have to tell me all about your job” she blushed and stammered as she handed him the pitcher. Walking back to the table with her hands full, she stopped behind Jared’s chair “Jay, can you make a bit of room and take these?” but he didn’t seem to hear her and the tray was getting really heavy. “Jay?” she kicked his chair a little to make him notice her but like this afternoon he was too wrapped in his bubble of friends, and it was exactly the same girl, Chloe?? Who had to make him aware that she was standing right behind him. “Oh sorry, didn’t see you there” he turned in his chair to take the tray from her, maybe she’d expected him to say something sweet or pull her against him for a second but there was none of that, trying not to look too frustrated she hurried back to her seat. “Try not to stress, I get the same thing with Marie-Lou, she forgets who I am when this bunch gets together, I only decided to come along when I heard who Jared’s new girlfriend was” Cooper shrugged when she sat down again. “I’m not stressing, anyway, let’s talk about you and your job” she quickly pushed a piece of bruschetta in her mouth.

”She’s awfully quiet, isn’t she? She didn’t even try and engage in the conversation” Chloe put her arm on Jared’s back as she stared at Harper sitting by the pool while the party was just getting started. Jared felt so lightheaded, he had way too much to drink “Harper? Oh Chloe, you don’t know what you’re talking about, she’s just got a lot on her mind..she’s been through so much with her family..and she’s still getting used to LA”. Chloe shifted in her seat not too convinced “whatever, just sounds like she's a lot of work, to me..anyway, come on old man and dance with me” she shot up, grabbed his hand and started yanking it. “No, leave it Chloe, I’m gonna check on Coco” he got up but then he watched her get up too, putting her phone to her ear she hurried back to the house, “oh come on, let her take that call, in the meantime you and I are gonna hit your cute improvised dancefloor right now” she pushed him in the direction of the pool. “We haven't talked since..well you know since that horrible night, you didn't return any of my calls, and I can understand why but believe me I've been so worried about you, I just wanted to see how you're holding up?” her brother's voice wurmed itself into her ear, why did she have to pick up? Sighing she sat down at the bottom of the stairs “I moved to LA..to get away from..them” she nearly puked the word “she's..gone way too far, Arno..listen, I know that you're trying to keep me part of the family but you're wasting your time..you heard what she said, she doesn't consider me a part of the family anymore so there's no real point in calling me”. This was a night to forget as soon as possible, who am I kidding, these last couple of days..this whole idea of following her lover to LA was something to forget all about as soon as possible, “you're still my little sister, Coco, that will always make you part of my family..how's LA treating you? And Jared, how is he?” he was determined to keep their conversation going. “Jared has been nothing but kind to me..LA on the other hand..” she pinched the bridge of her nose, no don't dive into all these negative emotions, just try and keep a cool head about it, it's only been days..oh god, I miss New York, I miss getting inspired. “Jared is great, you deserve each other so much, and as far as LA is concerned, it's just a city, and it's only been what? A couple of days? Give it a chance, you've lived all over the world in the past, surely LA will grow on you just like the other countries and cities did” bless him, he was trying to lift her spirits, whether it was working was a whole different matter. “I know..” she sighed, “and how's the painting going?”oh no, straight to the sore spot, “fine..just fine..” she lied, but he was having none of it “ok, out with it, Coco, what's going on?”. Harper bit her lip, should she? “nothing, just a little painter's block, nothing major” oh all those little lies, that is so not you Coco “listen Arno, I've gotta go, there's a party going on here tonight and Jared's gonna start looking for me soon, so..I'll call you next week if that's ok for you?”. Arno was very understanding about it so after saying their goodbyes, she threw the phone next to her, so glad she could stop lying, sighing she put her head on her crossed arms, oh Jared it would be so nice if you would actually come looking for me right now..but you're not are you? Just goes to show how different we really are, you have a life and I don't and boy did the truth hurt right now.

Ultimate Talent Development Plan: Toko Fukawa/Komaru Naegi

RRRRAGAGGHGG!!! Toko you idiot! How could you leave your work behind in the library!?

Please god tell me no one’s taken...

Ah! There it is!

Oh thank god! No one else has it...

Huh? Wait...what’s this poking out of it?

A...A letter?

“D-Dear Author of this book...I found your work by accident and I read it...for that, I deeply apologise...

However, I need to also tell you that what I ended up reading really tugged on my heartstrings in the best possible way...

I enjoyed your story greatly. The main heroine goes through many events throughout her life in it...

I laughed when she laughed, I cried when she cried, and I enjoyed watching her grow...”

W-Wow...so many compliments...I-is this from a secret admirer perhaps?

And such attention to detail...c-could Master be the one who wrote it?

“I’ve learnt from my old English teacher that many writers base their stories on personal experience...

If that is the case with you, then I shudder to imagine the things you’ve been through...I admire you for that...”

Wh-What the heck? W-Well I can’t exactly say that this ISN’T from my own experience...

But...it’s more like my own fantasy than experience...

What kind of idiot would even read this beta thing so carefully and then write a full letter telling me how much they enjoyed it?

W-Well whoever did...th-they must be someone as amazing as Master to recognise my talent...at least...almost...

“I hope my letter brings a smile to your face and lets you know you have an amazing talent...

Looking forward to reading more. Your devoted fan...

-Komaru Naegi”

WHA-Komaru!?

Oh! Toko! Did you read my letter?

NGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!

H-Hey! Don’t scream! We’re in a library!

Y-You’re screaming at me first! What’s wrong with you?

H-How long have you been here? Actually, WHY are you here? You don’t attend this school!

Huh? Oh, I just got here...and I Makoto left his lunch, so I brought it here for him.

But then I read your book and I couldn’t put it down! I had to tell you about it, but I didn’t know if I’d be able to tell you face to face...

So instead I wrote a letter and decided to leave it for when you got back...but you’re here now so...

Ugghh...Haven’t you ever heard that it’s rude to poke through other people’s things?

I know...but I just took a peek at the first page and then couldn’t stop.

…

If you like it so much then...I guess you can have it...

Huh?

Y-You said that...your letter would make me happy...

Y-You’re not...wrong...

That thing was just a test of my talent for the next briefing section...I can give it to you after I show it to the staff...if you like it so much...

Oh Toko thank you!

But if you’re gonna use it to humiliate me, then just tell me Omaru!

When did I say I was gonna do that!?
