How reader reacted when she figured out her feelings:

*watches satoru annoy suguru from far away*

Shoko: you ok? You havent talked in a minute

Y/n: ... Shit.

i’m such a sucker for the oh. oh. trope.

but rsd!au [name] would probably go to sleep PRAYING that their revelation was just mere delusion, only to be humbled when she gets incredibly jealous the next time she’s out with satoru and he’s getting hit on.

Did you see they hung the flag wrong at the opening ceremony so the Olympic rings were upside down?

Speaking of rings, what did Clarke do with AWTR Lexa's ring after she passed?

Ya knoooow

You're such a dick 😒 and I'm saying that knowing you won't get offended, but rather just be laughing maniacally. So yeah. Dick.

Anyway 😒

Lexa explicitly asked to be buried with her ring and so she was, and Clarke continues to wear her own wedding ring for the rest of her life. That's one of the reasons why she never gets remarried. She's never taking that ring off for any damn reason, she promised Lexa and Gus both that when he refused to take it back after Lexa's passing, and she's certainly not wearing another one alongside it. When she finally settles down with her partner later in life she does wear a commitment ring on the opposite hand, but the wedding ring still stays on her left hand ring finger.

Picture this cute image that is sure to bring tears to older moms Clarke and Lexa's face. Aden and Madi help their baby sisters learn how to walk by cooing at them and heaping tons of praise even when they fall down on their squishy diaper butts

🥹🥹🥹🥹

Weekends used to always be busy. The kids were studying or hanging out with friends or busy with different practices. And Lexa and Clarke always had a million things to do around the house and outside of it.

But with the twins here they have settled more inside the house. The kids stay in for longer just to hang out with their baby sisters and with their moms' (they still make such a fuss even if Lexa is officially out of the post partum phase).

Its one of those days. Lexa and Clarke on the couch watching their four kids play together, little baby giggles filling the entire room as their older siblings play with them. Its a sweet moment, Lexa feels like her cheeks might be permanently stuck in a smile and Clarke keeps looking away to clean up a stubborn tear.

And then it just kind of happens. The youngest twin, held up by Madi, gets one shaky little leg in front of her. And then another. Madi, in half shock, half panic starts to almost yell "Mom mom mom mom mom LOOK!!!"

Clarke and Lexa are immediately jumping off the couch and on to the floor. Clarke is of course already sobbing while Lexa looks like she might burst with happiness ad they congratulate the tiny baby for her first steps.

"Hmm, mom?" Aden says, the oldest twin in front of him trying her darnest to get up just like her sister.

"You can do it baby!" Madi coos at her, the other twin still holding on to her hands as she stands.

"Be careful, slowly." Aden almost whispers, always the worried oldest brother, as his baby sister trues her best to find her balance.

They kind of expect the baby to run towards Lexa. But then she manages a few steps with cheering and she keeps on going until she crashes into her twin sister is a little baby hug, both almost falling as they giggle, Madi and Aden giggling with them afterwards.

There's a small moment then, when Lexa turns around to see Clarke's face red from crying. Her nose presses against her wife’s cheek, realizing now how all of the babies firsts will also be their moms' lasts as parents. Clarke wraps her arms around Lexa and kisses her temple, a quick moment between them before their attention is back on their babies, the twins now teying to get up once again at the same time as their older siblings beam with pride at them and encourage them to keep on trying their best 🥰

hunger au question - what are the listeners n how do they work? what are their main differences compared to the watchers n devs? give me ur brain meat funny man

- 🍑 (fat ass anon)

HELLO ANON THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO YELL ABOUT THIS BC IVE BEEN TRYING TO FORMAT MY THOUGHTS ON THEM FOR TWO DAYS NOW WITH LITTLE SUCCESS

So Listeners are, i've decided, kinda like fungi!!! More specifically, like endomycorrhizae-- they're symbiotic spore-like entities that attach to a Player host to strengthen their own brittle code; in return, the Player is given a boost to their reflexes and mental acuity, as well as a tenuous connection to the Greater Code. This level of symbiosis is, however, extremely invasive; a Player host's mind and body are permanently altered, and influenced directly by the Listener who has fused with them.

Most Players don't even realize they have Something Else co-piloting them once they've fused with a Listener-- this is because Listeners don't really... talk, or at least, not in a way thats immediately recognizable. Instead, they use electrical impulses, sent directly to the Player's brain and nerves, and the Player host interprets and extracts meaning from that. In addition, Listeners (like Watchers) are, as previously stated, in tune with the Greater Code of the universe, and can glean strings of passing information from it within a certain radius of themselves. For a Player, this is sort of like minding your own business and then getting information beamed into your head, which can be very disorienting unless you're a newly spawned Player whose ties to the Greater Code haven't faded yet.

Also, since Listeners don't really have a strong sense of individualism, they often "hook up" their electrical signals to each other if more than one of them are in the area, creating an effective "hivemind" that can work towards a shared goal. Because of this, Player hosts can recognize other Player hosts as Listeners immediately, and register them as friendly and trustworthy, regardless of past history or established social standing. "Hooked" Players will react in tandem to stimuli-- though their reactions may differ due to their own personalities-- and will also work towards the same goals, though they don't generally parse that they're being influenced when they do.

Thats about all i have written about Listeners in my shiny new Lore Doc wjdjejdndnd or at least that's it so far. They are fucked up little mushroom guys your honor!!!! i love them soso much<3 thank you for asking!!

I just spent three hours redesigning pegasi from My Little Pony for the whole mlp infection au trend

I had fun, but still

[mitchmotch]

I'm so interested in your Anastasia au! will you tell us more?

yes of course i will! @revalito and i are genuinely so elated that so many people like the au HEHJKSDHJKS i will always want to talk about it trust

i don't know if there was something specific you wanted me to talk about, so i'll just talk about their time in the cloud recesses when they were younger =]

as i said before in my tags, wwx found lwj sitting outside the gentian cottage waiting for his mom and that's how they first met--he brought him a blanket and something warm to drink and offered to sit next to him. after that wwx would find lwj every now and then and hang around a bit but not for long. that does.. imply that his parents died sooner but well. HEJDSJKSD we figured one of the servants was his dad's close friend that agreed to babysit wwx for a while before they died, so now at least wwx has someone that was considered family (and that can tell him about his parents)

wwx didn't actually start working as a servant until he got older and that's when he was really allowed to interact with lwj. silly little comments turned into prompts to speak more and eventually, they'd have "conversations" (lwj would listen, wwx would talk) as wwx did what he had to. one day lwj asked wwx if he would be allowed to be a personal assistant on a quick task he had to do outside of the cloud recesses, and of course that's allowed. and that's the loophole they found to spend more time together =]

lxc knows about lwj's crush. he could read it on him easily HEJKSDJK i'd like to think one time wwx was called in to serve something to them, and as he did he made some comment to lwj. lwj acknowledged him with a small uptick of his lips and lxc was just ⁉️⁉️⁉️ HEHKJDHJKDHDJK he starts making excuses for wwx to go see lwj. the first time he asks a servant to call for wwx bc he needed something delivered to his brother it started a rumor within the servants immediately. this is where the teasing among them began HEHJKSDJKSDK lxc is the main reason why eventually wwx is the main servant/one of the only servants for lwj

wwx starts learning about cultivation in his free time--and we'd like to think the gusulan sect would set aside a teacher for willing servants on their breaks--but he never attends any actual classes. it isn't until they accept guest disciples when they're around 15/16 that he even entertains the idea. he probably makes a side comment to lwj, like "ah, guest disciples… it would have been nice to attend a class or two.." and lwj is immediately like i'm on it. he talks to lqr to attend the classes and ofc here lan qiren doesn't Need lwj to be a good example to wwx like he does in the novel, but we think lqr would still want to show him off HEHJKSJKSD also, lxc is probably like "it would be nice if wangji had more friends =] perhaps if we have wwx in there (someone he is already comfortable with) he would be more willing?" and that seals the deal HEJKSDHJKSD wwx is invited to his classes to be a "personal servant" to keep up appearances, but he is there to learn.

of course some other people there aren't to keen on the idea of having a servant in the class with them, so this time when lqr calls on wwx, it's not to test him, it's to prove his worth. he knows wwx and lwj are friends so in his head, his justification is that disciples are offending wwx -> they're offending lwj -> lwj is his nephew -> they are offending lqr too. ofc. HEHJKDSJKSDK lwj defends wwx in his own ways.

nie huaisang is the first to go up to wwx to chat and they become good friends, and since wwx is friends with lwj, nhs becomes friends with him too. it's a funny dynamic but lwj inwardly thinks it's nice.

thank you sm for asking! <3

Ughh I so desperately need an AU where Anfisa and Nari are baaack 😩

[mayonnaise-sock]

So me and my friend played Sky again because of your au, and I can’t stop laughing because at some point my friend told me to follow them and I accidentally forgot to jump and then I watched as they proceeded to fly into every wall possible and then get stuck out of bounds.

And ever since then I can’t stop thinking about how it fits Ace and Luffy in your sky au

Real that’s so real

And then he gets stuck in the floor

[belovedfromnature]

Kisses my wife

He’s so cutie parootie…..

(I would not win that trail by combat)

Since it's Alycia's 31st birthday today, what was AWTR Lexa's favorite birthday cake flavor?

Why do you do this on her birthday whY

And it wouldn't actually be birthday cake flavors that she asks for. While she does like cake fine and enjoys all kinds, what she actually looks forward to are homemade wild cherry poptarts. Her mom used to make them every year on her birthday for breakfast. She'd get dressed and come downstairs, and waiting for her would be a little plate with a her own golden and freshly iced, handmade, flaky doughed poptart - complete with homemade wild cherry jam and a single little candle struck right in the icing. It was always still warm from the oven and perfectly gooey with crispy, flazy edges along the sides, the vanilla ans sprinkles glazed icing perfectly sticky and sweet. They'd sit together and eat one a piece and split third before Gus even got up. A very smiley and squeaky voiced birthday girl agreeing with her mom that, "yeah dad, ya snooze ya loose 😌"

Her mom was a fantastic baker. She was the one who taught Gus everything he knows. So yeah. While Gus does his best after she's gone, he never can make them quite as good as she could, but neither of them really ever expected that anyway. He still makes her a couple every year...

I made a new character to both test out how elezen move as well as participate in the Cloud 1 login test and somehow he turned out to be the saddest, most wet cat looking man I've ever made???

Like look at him. He looks like he'll start crying any second now. Someone give this man a blanket and a hug.

Trade Secrets Part 16

I have been watching migrating butterflies at work this week, and it stuck in my head. Plus, I liked the idea of the future World's Greatest Detective playing Clue. Also, had some more characters make cameos, even if it was only by reference. Did you catch both of them?

Part 16

"Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the revolver."

"Remind me why we are playing Clue and not chess?" Harvey grumbled.

"Because I want to play something I have a chance at playing for more than five minutes." I answered.

"Well, I want to do something else." 

Bruce and I looked at each other. Harvey had been irritable so far this whole visit so far, but neither of us seemed to know why. I certainly didn't, and neither did Bruce, who saw Harvey every day in class.

"Okay," Bruce put the parts of the game back in the box, setting it back on the shelf, next to the Johnston McCulley novels. "Well, what do you want to do?"

"I want to go for a hike."

A hike actually sounded great. Outside the window, orange leaves glistened on trees in golden October sunlight. It was a beautiful warm day. It was late enough in the afternoon, though, it wouldn't be long before dark. Dad had a rare day off due to a malfunctioning light system. But I wasn't sure how long he would be talking to Alfred. And something had me wanting to tell Dad. Part of it was not wanting to repeat the temper tantrum where I had transformed Harvey after how much trouble I had gotten in with that. Part of it was some of Dad's magic lessons and the spookiness leading up to Halloween giving me nerves. But I was not about to turn into a horror movie plot, lost in the woods with both boys.

"Sure, but I have to see where Alfred put my coat." I told them.

Harvey might have argued, but Bruce nodded.

"Good idea."

I ran downstairs, filling Dad and Alfred in on the planned hike.

"It's going to be dark in an hour, so the three of you will need to be back by then." Dad warned as I put my coat on. 

"And if Harvey decides to show a lack of sense," Alfred added, "I hope you follow Bruce's plans to avoid Slaughter Swamp. Some of the local boys have been trying to see Cyrus Gold's ghost, or claiming they have, at least. Including their friend Thomas. No doubt, he has been telling tales in school. And no doubt, Harvey feels he has to prove something."

With that warning, we were sent off, with coats and hats. And thanks to Bruce, extra flashlights and a compass.

"I think we should - "

"No." Bruce turned in the opposite direction and started hiking uphill, away from the part of the trail where Harvey was standing, and after the warning about Slaughter Swamp, I started following Bruce to the top of the hill into a clearing, hoping Harvey would catch up soon.

"What is wrong with both of you? Bruce, I'm not surprised to see be scared of - well, everything. But what about you, Zatanna? When did you get so scared?"

"Harvey, you are not goading me into hiking through a swamp at night."

"Scared of ghosts?" 

I let a flicker of pretty colored light flicker in my palm. "I believe in ghosts as much as I believe in magic. But I am more scared of snakes and mud and falling in the dark."

"Shhh. Do you hear that?"

It was still enough, it didn't take long to realize what had seemed like the sound of a breeze rustling through leaves in the trees around the clearing couldn't be leaves and I started wondering if it was late enough to see bats.

And that was when we saw them.

Dozens, maybe hundreds of butterflies poured from the trees, flying across the sky.

I don't think any of us even breathed until the last faded into the first hints of the sunset on the horizon.

I found myself holding hands with Bruce and Harvey, unsure when I had done so.

"That beats Slaughter Swamp any day." Bruce whispered, squeezing my hand.

Harvey didn't say anything, just took one last look at the horizon where the butterflies had flown before walking back with Bruce and me, still hand in hand on the way down.
