#ahhhh now to think of popular characters

[valentine-cafe]

could i have a berry crumble? <3 (gn reader)

thinking about being sort of... a friend of his, you're quite obviously swooning yet dense enough you yourself haven't realized yet. going out of your way to help him with things, being overly sweet, going a bit far for just a.... friend... yet it wasn't merely one sided. one day you get the idea to make jingyi some of his favourite sweets to go along with his coffee. ...perhaps, impulsively, you snuck a potion into the dough, which has the affect of making him completely and utterly honest. it catches him off guard of course, (unless he already knew, wanting to see how you'd react to his most honest desires). and oh boy, you realized you didn't think anything through, once he started spewing those words. poor, poor you, flustered beyond belief with your heart running miles a minute...what even would be your relationship with him, after this? it soon dawned on you, that when he offered you a bite earlier, and you....took it......he wasn't going to be the only one honest here.

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ᥫ᭡ jingyi verseless / gn reader ꒱ you're so very close to the demon who owns a popular alchemist shop. you've had so many heated moments with him - so of course you grew curious just how far his desires ran. so you decide to bake a truth serum into a gift of treats for him. just for research purposes of course. silly you, though - seems you took a bite

he knew. of course he did.

what kind of alchemist do you take him for?

so he’d eat your sweets and refresh with the bitter coffee at the back of his throat. groaning at the essence of spells leaking into his tongue and swirling through his mind. a familiar feeling for sure. one he’d welcome if it meant messing with you.

a part of him wondered if you intentionally took the bite. the smirk on his lips took everything within him to hold back. were you so lax at the idea of his fingers accidentally brushing against your lips after he fed the sweet treat that you completely forgot your own plan?

now you find yourself in the demon’s clutches. flush into a dark comforter within his vast halls. not an imp in sight. not a peep from the bubbles of potions or the lingering scent of his herbal gardens.

only him. above you. on you. everywhere.

“and what else?”

the deep drawl of his croon twists a chord in your tummy. if not that then the way his clawed thumb stroked over your underwear would. a moan chokes your throat. your head leans back into the darkness of pillows - framed by the shadow of his long, silky hair.

“want. . . want you to claim me,” your words make you wish to scream. yet all you can do is whine as the callous skin of his thumb brings pleasure to your sensitive bundle of nerves. “w-want you to use me. stretch me out on your cock. m-my hand’s not enough. I felt it. I want it -”

your throat bobs as his free hand strokes an index along the front of your neck. a curl of his lips to match the crux in your brows.

“want what, sweet thing? want me inside of you? how do you want it?”

“rough.”

it sounds like the symbol of desperation — the sound that leaves your lips. his fingers feel devilish inside of you. curling and rubbing the pads against spots you can only question how he knew.

“rough? like this?” the slew of wet noises squelching from between your knees sends a spin to your head. an arch to your back as your fingers curl into his shoulders. tug at the loose strands of his perfect hair.

“y-yes - oh god, yes.”

another one of his laughs. low. vibrating. it makes you wish to yank him down and press your lips to him in a feverish kiss to shut him up. alas - you were too busy moaning and squirming on two of his sinful fingers.

so instead, your mind spouts out another question.

“t-tell me how many night’s you’ve dreamt of me.”

“hundreds.”

his tongue confesses. a grunt leaving his throat soon after. the taste of his lips no longer a yearn as he presses them down onto yours. eagerly sucking on your tongue for a moment or two.

“wh-what - what have - ah -” you strain an orgasm. not now. “wh-what have you thought of?”

“stretching you out. having your pretty body riding me for all you’re worth.”

his harsh, honest pant sends shivers down your spine. you clench around his fingers and try to squish your thighs together. jìngyí doesn’t seem to like that - for an extra pair of dark hands sprout from the ebony of his mist and yank your legs open.

“keep them parted. don’t act like you haven’t already creamed all over my tongue.” his words through clenched fangs leave you quivering. how can you not spasm and cum all over the both of you?

his name is a sinful prayer on your lips. he smirks.

“how many times have you wanted to do that, pretty?”

“e-every time I see your stupid face -” you wheeze in pleasure. whimpering. bucking your hips into his awaiting hand.

and oh, the demon grins this time. withdrawing and bringing his lips to his fingers. licking your honeyed essence and groaning into the air shamelessly. the sweetness of treats earlier have nothing on your cum dripping from his skin.

large, shadowy hands quickly encase your twitching thighs. driving you further into the softness of the comforter. an elongated tongue down your throat once more. interrupting whatever humiliating question nestled on your lips and instead drawing out a slew of splutters.

he takes the opportunity to ask his own.

“want me to fuck you, dearest? indulge me - hah - tell me how you want this cock.”

“i-in. . . inside. all of it.”

“and?”

“w-want you to cream me full.”

tears of frustration find your eyes. what an embarrassing confession. to be stuffed full of a demon’s hot cum until it was -

“until?”

“t-till it’s leaking. till I’m dumb.”

your head falls back into the fabric with a series of whimpers. he kisses away the wetness around our cheeks and directs your attention to the feel of his pre-cum stained tip rubbing between your legs.

“j-jìngyí -”

“save my name for when you are screaming it.”

and oh, you would. his name would slur with drool and a thousand praises. a hundred pleas as his thick cock pounded you senseless. eyes rolling back and tongue uttering out such sinful confessionals. as though he were your god, correcting your behaviour and fulfilling your dark desires.

his balls slap heavily against your moist skin. sending a lewd symphony in the air to join your choked cries and his feral grunts. he’s long since folded your legs to your chest so that he can grant you earnest wish. fuck you full.

“this what you wanted, you fucking brat?”

“a-angh - u-uhuh - jìngyí - jìnnngggyyyíííííí!”

he’ll silence your cries with a clawed hand around your throat. a rub to your sensitive nerves as he shallows his thrusts and grinds his tip against that one devastating spot.

his coffee has long since grown cold atop the small round table. but it’s not even a waste when he’s got you squirting all over him. feeling the heat of your cum on his cold skin and tasting your sweet tears. hearing your delightful cries as he fucks you in every way you’ve confessed.

and so many more.

[bloomingdarkgarden]

Ahhhh I just finished chapter 37 of dark garden - can’t wait for more and hope it goes beyond 42.

I also wanted to say you are a marvelous writer/author I think you’ve put SJM and many others to shame and should continue and embrace your talents and own storylines - they would be killer!!! You have such a way with storytelling i feel as tho i understand and like the characters so much better than the books. I can’t believe you said you haven’t written before!

Im living for this story I don’t think I will like whatever book SJM comes out with next as much as this. No hate on her or anyone just being honest.

Hope Elriel gets the long overdue lovemaking they deserve lol!!

a) thank you enormously for these gracious compliments, im smiling.

b) i had 0 experience with creative writing when i started this thing so watching it explode in popularity has been a wild ride. It was like, oh shit people like my weird dark poetic words, oh shit a lot of people like this, oh shit it has to be good now lol. Admittedly it takes me longer to update because I somehow gained a massive audience (WBITD usually gains 2k hits just in the first 24 hours I post and many more thereafter) so there's a very high level of expectation, which can be terrifying for me as someone who has never done this before. I've undertaken crazy shit for this story. I've stared at the walls until 4am thinking about where to take Elain's journey. I once spent 20 hours making 1 map. I toiled and studied medieval crusade battles, greek oracles, so many things. I cannot even believe i wrote this thing. Who writes nothing their entire life and then makes a 900 page novel fully flushed with deep slow burn romance, mystic plot, lore, war conflict, a shit ton of botany, i don't even know what? ehoney.

c) it will probably be more like 45 chapters and Elain and Az are gonna get everything they deserve and then some mark my words.

Writer's Tag Game

Tagged by @strangethings-everywhere & @effervescentyellow !!! finally catching up on tag games ;^_^

Rules: Answer some or all of the questions below. Tag your fellow writers. Enjoy!

Link to your masterlist: Lol i'm too lazy to make one, but my ao3 is pretty kept up to date!!!

Favorite and least favorite genres to write (angst/smut/fluff, etc): Favorite is probably Angst with a Happy Ending or Smut With Feelings. Love when the couple figures out just how much they love each other. I can never write Major Character Death tho. Or the times I have, it's been such a struggle;;;;

Favorite characters to write for? Right now it's been Don just because I think I relate to him in a lot of ways. Though Chuck and Roger have been fun!! trying to figure out their dynamics :d

Which one of your works is your favorite? I guess right now it's....the Hockey AU?? The response to it has been so wonderful and the story became so much more than I ever imagined it would be!!!

Which one of your works is more popular than you thought it would be? The Hockey Fic!!! I was worried I was smashing too many things into one fic, but it seems to have worked in the end??? and i keep getting more and more inspo to write for more of this AU which is so so good (thank you @sparrow-in-the-field >3<)

Which one of your works is less popular than you thought it would be? Idk??? just getting one hit on my stories astounds me so i'm never upset when something doesn't get as much attention as the others ajfskdslfs

Which one of your fics was hardest to write? Why? Definitely my Sci-Fi AU that i've yet to share. It's a labour of love and i just want it to be perfect for the fandom but also i've edited and reread it so many times i'm so worried it's not good anymore and ghfdjsfkslfsk

What is your favorite fanfic by someone else? THE TOUGHEST QUESTION CAUSE EVERYONE IN THE FANDOM IS SUCH AN AMAZING WRITER let me make a list under a readmore ahgdfjksl

@sparrow-in-the-field 's Quiet Act is ESSENTIAL for anyone in tbitb fandom, it has it all, the pining, the fluff, the angst, the perfect movie references, ugghhgfjdkl it's beautiful and such a good fic to start with if you're not sure where to begin with reading tbitb stuff

@teaforarteza 's On The Border gave me my first "oh. OH" at how perfect Bobby and Don are for each other, plus it's so hot and tender all at once HOW i have definitely had to reread and comment more than once just for my thoughts to catch up aghdfjsk

@arokel 's Light the Kindling is so much fun because we get to meet Percy who I'll protect with my life and we get such soft moments with Don and Bobby that also turn hot and sexy but still so filled with emotion ahhghgjdfskl

@kjxlll 's (getsalami on ao3) Hands, Tears, and Glory has me chomping at the bit every time I reread it. Anonymous sex that turns out "oh shit it's YOU" has a chokehold on me and godddd Bobby gets destroyed in so many delicious ways

@shadowquill17 's hands and voices makes me so weepy and soft and it's just so lovely and beautiful to have a glimpse of our boys after the olympics, when Bobby's assistant coach and he and Don are just so incredibly in love ahhhh

@thesummerpetsalamander 's (pavlovsfrog on ao3) The Sweetest Sounds is another hot one that also had me giggling and kicking my feet. Don and Bobby are so much fun in this modern AU and it's like hffjdsklfsd man oh man

@icegreyrose 's You Have But Slumber'd Here is so so good, I love magic realism and this story just pulls you in, always has a twist that shocks you in the best way and it's so cool and ahhghfjdk

@kcsplace 's (CaseyStar on ao3) We'll Stay As We Are is gorgeous omgggg I was holding my breath, I was filled with heartache and love all at once, I was worried and reassured all at once, very cathartic if you need to get some emotions out

@dogwooddiaries 's (breakingofdawn on ao3) Undo Me IS AN AMAZING ROLLER COASTER you want a one night stand that turns into something more??? a friendship turned to love??? both Bobby and Don no longer able to deny their feelings for each other???? you got it all in one incredible fic

@strangethings-everywhere 's (booknerds_unite on ao3) When Our Fingers Touch, I Feel My Way Back Home IS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL FOR TBITB FANS tragic and heartwarming, it'll destroy you and lift you above mountains. And if you're a ww2 buff like me, it makes it all that more emotional and clawing at the ground as your heart bleeds

@crushribbons MY LOVE her xReader and xOFC fics are so much fun!!! i'll admit i've never been a fan of reader/ofc but Laney changed that for me just because her takes are so unique from what I've seen in the past??? Her stories make me laugh, make me emotional, ugghgh like if she can make me a changed man, then you KNOW it's good

of course i can't not mention @savvylittlecoxswain who has been our plethora of information regarding our boys, sharing all these fun facts and details the movie should've taken into account smh ALSO Olie has a wing fic in the works that I am SO EXCITED FOR YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Also please check out FreyasDaughter's From Berlin, With Love because that one is such a good instrospective take on the events in Berlin, a completely different writing style that's so cool, and Joe being the best boyfriend to Joyce I swear its ahhhh

fishyies is another great fic writer who's really tugged at the heartstrings , very real and raw and just makes you take a step back and breath

basically all this to say we have so many good fic writes in tbitb fandom and just choosing one fic is so hard because everyone's style is so unique and fun and amazing and i love you all ;v;

[evanwevand]

"Uwuauauwuuwuauau pro Bright users victimize themselves and pretend that they suffered the same or even more than actual AB's grooming victims 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧" NO ONE FUCKING SAYS THAT THEY SUFFERED MORE THAN ANYONE, but sometimes you should think twice before telling systems and fictiokins to shut up about their identity and "do it in private" since I don't think anyone would like if rewrite fictives were told the same. It's harassment and isolation in any way

Also, don't pretend to be "moral" now since this whole situation has been known since AT LEAST 2022 when Cimmerian posted his first video after AB was originally banned from the wiki explaining the reason, and it wasn't until Feb 2023 when y'all actually "did something about it" (aka deleting the list, aka literally fucking washing your hands on the topic after years of not doing anything, aka pretending to never had liked Bright while replacing his name with Shaw in all of your stuff)

If you "never liked Bright" you would had never used in first place (ah, yeah, he was a very popular character and using him would give you clout), or you would had stopped using 963 AT ALL with all of this stuff

Ahhhh, yes, forgot that apparently posting your shity oc or SCP oc won't give you attention, but if you apparently just slap a stone on it and call it "963 rewrite" or "bright rewrite" it magically gives you a lot of clout from the fandom and authors, even!

I'm pretty sure that if something happened to AB that made Bright a free character that anyone can own you all would be fighting for having him, because you don't really care about victims of anything, just about getting clout by following what the herd follows and likes and being morally superior in this downfalling fandom and pushing it on others, while fucking witch-hunting everyone that doesn't agree

And yes, of course being groomed is way worse than everyone hating on your favourite character, but getting harassed, pushed out of spaces that you considered your comfort fandom for years and having people gaslighting and denying your own identity is just as bad, maybe not worse but still something bad that should be empathised with. Because there are murders in the world that doesn't make bank robbers less criminals.

And please, just touch some grass. The filtering tags thing exits for some reason (I talk about this topic just once in a time whenever I see some of these anti people talking shit, can assure that I have way more of a life outside Tumblr and Internet in general and outside complaining about x random using a character I don't like)

[mermaidsirennikita]

why is it uncommon to find a more assertive/dominant FMC in FANTASY romance that isn’t bdsm or complete kink role reversal? Fantasy romance seems gender conforming than contemporary. I thought this was fantasy so why are the roles so rigid and a FMC who sometimes holds the power is somehow kink/fetish

I went to Reddit for recs and honestly found nothing to my taste

also i dont think ppl realize that a not submissive FMC does mean the mmc is weak, feminine, etc? everything is so binary ahhhh

i’m not even someone who wants to deviate from the norm that much

Hmm, I don't know that I experience the same issue with fantasy romances? Maybe it's a Reddit problem; I find that on Reddit (compared to, say, Instagram) I see a lot more people requesting books featuring actively submissive heroines. That's where Alice Coldbreath gets recommended to me every time I ask for anything though, lol, so I feel like I could be a little skewed in that direction.

And it's fine for people to want that, I just struggle with books in which the heroine is SUPER submissive in her everyday life (her sex life is another thing entirely).

That said, I also don't think I've read a lot of fantasy romances I would categorize as truly kinky or BDSM-related. But my standards may be high, I think of a lot of books as "kink positive" but not About That Life, if you get what I'm saying.

I'll also say—in my experience, Reddit skews very indie, and while there are a billion indie books I love (including books recommended below) I personally find that a lot of Reddit-popular books are kind of like... one-handed reads. Which is fine, totally valid, they just don't have a lot of thought in terms of plot. Or, tbh, sometimes in terms of sex (I don't find their portrayal of kink to be great all the time).

That being said, if you do want to read fantasy romances with assertive, strong heroines that also feature strong heroes, I'd recommend:

The Witch Walker series by Charissa Weaks. A recent favorite of mine, has several couples (I'd say three prominent ones as of now, two m/f and one m/m) but the core couple is m/f. The heroine is strong and stays strong. The hero is also, though I'm rather delighted by how often he hurtles himself into trouble and is like "WHOOPS" until she shows up. Their sex life is really like... mutual. I'd say he's a bit more dominant in bed, but they both show the fuck up.

The Hurricane Wars series by Thea Guanzon. Both the hero and heroine are virgins, they have a very mutually giving sex life (though that doesn't really fully kick into gear until book 2, which is out in December), and she's definitely a very strong character, I'd say.

The Winter King by C.L. Wilson. The hero is definitely more immediately strong and sexually experienced in this book (it's definitely more historical romance-aligned worldwise, and she's a virgin) but the heroine is very powerful and their relationship becomes an equal one. And in bed, once she's on the up and up of it all, there's a lot of mutual give and take.

The Princes of Hell series by Kerri Maniscalco. I love the heroines of this series (there's a trilogy to begin, then a spinoff book). They're both quite different, incredibly strong, and more than a match for their heroes. Plus, I appreciated that you really don't have the same characters or relationships repeated between the two couples. They're super distinct.

Hi! 😍😍

🧃 🍬 🥐 🦋 for the asks please 🥰🥰

Hello Kerry!!

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before

I'm not entirely sure if this means personal fanlore like a headcanon or something lorey about me, so I'm going to sort of blend it and say: After 4x12, I was fully down for Tarlos never having kids. I thought it was quite a unique take to show a couple not being on the same page around starting a family, and it was something I related to a lot for personal reasons. However. However. Then out of the blue I felt ready to read read kidfic, having not really wanted to before. I read @welcometololaland's series Self Control? I Don't Know Her and @three-drink-amy's Teach You How Forever Feels and @ladytessa74's Elijah Verse and @bonheur-cafe's Pour me a cup (or two or three) and now I am obsessed with them becoming dads. Obsessed. I just really want it to happen. It's amazing the impact that fic can have. Everything I linked is so compelling and I just love it!

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

I've never said this before but........ I don't like TK's name!!! Ahhhh!!! I think he suits initials but I'm not in love with the particular letters together. I also don't think Tyler suits him!!!! Please don't come for me!!! I'm sorry!!

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING!!! And this girl laughing about it!!!

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately

Honestly, I've had quite a major dip in confidence for a while now because of work. I feel like the job has grown way beyond my intelligence level and I'm scrambling up the learning curve like someone running along a bridge that is falling away behind them. It's getting me down! Also I guess it goes without saying but season 5 of 911 LS and the excitement but also trepidation about plotlines and things! Also I don't love my hair right now.

Thank you for asking! ❤️

Writers Truth & Dare Ask Game

[gen4grl]

Piers and/or Raihan for the character ask

ooo thank u for the ask, and i’ll do both since i’m a chronic talker! like the last one, i’ll only do questions i feel like i can answer (or understand the prompt lol)

raihan first!🐉

why i like them: i have been drawn to dragon trainers ever since playing hgss so of course i love this man. also absolutely love his cocky attitude, i think he has such an alluring personality. on a real note he’s so fine he gets me blushing lol oh and his lil tooth that sticks out :33

why i don’t: epitome of every gimmick i hate in battles LOL absolutely hate double battles and hate weather affects even more.

fave episode/movie: didn’t watch the anime after johto and definitely didn’t watch journeys so … no answer and i don’t feel like he appears enough in twilight wings to give an answer lol I’m gonna go with the microsecond he was in gotcha lol

fave line: “i look this good even when i lose. it’s a real curse” oh absolutely sir 🫡

fave outfit: absolutely love his normal ingame outfit purely because of the the incorporation of lances hgss outfit ahhhh. gamefreak needs to sell clothing items of famous trainers because i need that man’s hoodie. also love his black and white suit in masters so niceee and classy

otp: multishipper!!! so my first ship was raihan and leon - which i still really enjoy but my all time fave is raihan and piers 🖤🧡 they have rotted my brain so badly

brotp: sonia and raihan. like how he calls her miss clever clogs. i wanna be around to witness their leon gossip sessions lol. hc but i love the idea of them growing up in the gym challenge together and sonia always finding raihan super hilarious while her best friend nessa thought he was so full of himself lol. honestly i think he’s just super popular and social so gets along with every gym leader pretty well

headcanon: talked about this briefly in my tags, but a very special hc to me is that all dragon trainers come from a singular clan before splitting apart where they now live in the different regions. lance and raihan are cousins and are considered the most esteemed and powerful trainers in their clan and have had a friendly rivalry since being kids. despite bickering due their completely different attitudes and outlooks on life and what it means to be a dragon trainer, they also bring out positives in eachother. lance made raihan appreciate the culture of their clan more (which in turn helped him appreciate his vault job even more) and raihan taught lance how to loosen up and not feel so pressured by the very strict johto branch of dragon trainers. oh and he’s also great with kids and kids love him for how goofy he can be lol

wish: definitely wish we saw more of the gentle side of him that’s hinted to be there both via the game and anime.

my nickname for them: rai-rai🥺 ever since seeing that piers calls him that in the manga. fuels my shipping brain and overall just a super cute name

piers 🦨

why i like them: omg. my all time favourite gym leader and in my top 3 galar characters. love that they fed into the concept of alt people being teddy bears despite outwards appearances, reminds me of alot of people i knew growing up in the scene myself. loveee how protective he is of marnie and in general how much he loves his hometown and people around him. just an absolute sweetie 😭

why i dont: actually cant think of one reason or element i dont like, perfect character imo!!! is it basic to say the scene of him singing with no background vocals? why do him like that😭😭😭

fave episode/movie: same answer as raihans but seeing that one microsecond in twilight wings of him saying he doesn’t do encores changed me as a person lmao

fave line: this whole interaction always gets me lmao

fave outfit: not even a canon outfit but i see so much fanart of him without his jacket on and i vibe heavy with that lol

otp: kbnz everydayyy, despite minimal interactions (lol the shippers struggle) every interaction he had with raihan had insane undertones it got me feeling like i shouldn’t of been watching lmao (to be a fly on the wall tho LOL).

brotp: piers and …. sonia too lol (this girl needs more friends!!!). really loved them with hop + the player in post game and think stressed and overwhelmed sonia could benefit from calm and collected piers… so cute. i’m so attracted to the opposites attract trope, both platonically and/or romantically and they fit that perfectly lol

headcanon: while always on the more reserved side, i love the idea of younger gym challengers piers being more boisterous (in his own way) and loved the party and gig scene in early spikemuth* - much to the suprise of those who only know him in his adult years. however, when the responsibility of raising marnie came into the picture, he relaxed quite a lot and now his old man tendencies tend to come out even with his fully adult friends and in his relationship. he’s the first people come to when they need advice cause despite being overly cautious and a worry-wart when it comes to marnie, he is quite grounded which comforts a lot of people. what a sweetie!

*purely based off the quote “times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of spikemuth in the old days. some right wild concerts we had back then. but no encores!"

my nickname: not mine but i hc everyone around him especially raihan call him piersy. definitely gets under his skin but kinda just accepts it now lol

[99point9percentwhump]

Sea Patrol for the fandom questions (if you've seen enough of it). It is very good for whump.

Ahhhh Sea Patrol big fan!!

The first character I first fell in love with: Spyder, shocking I know right hah

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Swaino all the way whe I started the series I liked him but I never expected him to become my fav of the entire series (Would it have something to do with me binging the actors work peerrrhhhaappsss heh)

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 2dads... I don't hate him he adds a new layer to the mix of ppl for sure but he gets on my nerves a bit

The character I love that everyone else hates: not having discussed the fandom with a lotta ppl outside the whumping we'll go by popularity in lei of "hate": Chiefo I really like him he's kinda quirky part of the early crew he doesn't get into as much as some but I really love when he's around

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Mike Flynn, I think he's decent as a leader but my logical side sorta got irritated with some of the fraternizing he's not bad just a little thing that buggers me

The character I would totally smooch: Gawd if Swain wasn't a married man.... but alas.... So Dutchy definitely which I really can't complain about ehehe

The character I’d want to be like: Buffer, he to me of the middleman ppl look to for support and he holds together a lotta the crew and I have a lotta respect for him

The character I’d slap: Ro he's just such a little brat I like him but someone really does need to smack him upside his head 

A pairing that I love: not sure if it legal but I'll go with platonic pairings XO/Dutchy cuz they're really good together while there's tech more to some of it as crew mates and officer to subordinate they really click and I think she helps give him something to protect after what he went thru pre-series

Just putting this here for funsies

[gothcsz]

maybe this is after she makes her debut with him and they go to this party in the hills…. man approaches her like “i saw your tape with javi. good stuff 😏” but in a sleazy way…. waitttt

nooooo wait that’s perfect. Javi is super proud and loves showing her off and she’s a bit shy because these people have seen her naked and fucking lol but also it feels empowering and she’s kinda proud??

But there’s always a dickward like that, setting out to ruin things and make things uncomfortable. I feel like especially in porn, people like to talk to and about porn stars like they aren’t actual people. So I think a guy like that would be on point sadly.

But also, I love the thought of Javi and reader becoming this iconic porn duo? Like kinda a legend in the porn world for people? Super popular hot shot Javi giving it all up for his lady and then the comeback with her!! And it’s not like a shit ton of videos and they make the videos special, like it’s not just porn. Its artistic and you can tell there’s so much love between them and it’s only each other for both of them, no interest at all in other people and all the offers they probably get. They just want each other. They just have sex and have fun and sometimes they film it and sell it for good money to have some nice savings for their future.

yes!! you get it!! oh to have javi showing you off like that, putting you at the forefront and making sure you're comfortable and appreciated for the fucking goddess that you are!! he loves her so much (yea i said it we all know that's the fuckin endgame here ok) and it's taking her some time to get used to being in this type of spotlight like she's so used to being behind the scenes and now she's a FUCKING STAR (okay maxine!) and you know their first tape or whatever fucking sells so good... ahhhh

but yes... i am thinking if he should be another pornstar or some kind of producer/director that's trying to prey on her... get her to join his team or something and she tells him no but he's not taking that for an answer so he corners her when she sneaks off to the bathroom or something omg the fucking drama... she would kick his ass though like i think i've set up her character so far to be THAT BITCH and probably break his nose or some shit and javi is both pissed the FUCK off but also so proud of his girl for handling her business... oh the urge to write that RIGHT NOW

them being an IT couple in the porn industry would just slay so hard honestly. i'm already thinking of all the scenes they'd do together (def want them to do the whole princess/prince thing and then something in a hot tub at some ski resort.... ooohhhh yeah, maybe even a video shot in an amateur type style? them in their bedroom with a shitty camera....) I LOVE THEM SO MUCH OH GOD I NEVER WANT THIS FIC TO END!!!

[2n2n]

Riffing off of my last post... I want to think about something! Or, introduce a thought....

first off, a magical spell to ward off evil. In your mind spins the image of the Yugi twins kissing peacefully, happy in their futon together... ahhhh! Okay... we resume now.

Perhaps this is obvious to some, but it might not be to others, so why not voice it.

I think valuing the gender of characters is your preference individually, there are preferences I have, too! Tastes, aesthetically, and such. But, to some extent, I think being rigorous and strict about avoiding say, 'male/female' relationships, or hating 'male characters', in the pursuit of loving queerness & loving women for example, can go a little overboard... ooonly in that, narratives are not always representing only what they appear as, and you can't be so sure what other people are representing in abstractions. This post is only for people who might feel sensitive about those abstractions-- if you don't have a care in the world, don't bother reading on...!

Here is an example, from a popular series many love. The Moomin novels are precious to me, I love the expressions of the author, Tove's, relationships and human experiences. Tove largely expresses herself through Moomin, a boy. She expresses her relationships with women AND men through that conduit. Ironically, the relationship between Moomin and Snufkin-- beloved by many!-- represents a 10-year love affair with a man in her life, Atos. While the story of Moomin and Too-ticky, is a representation of her relationship to her later long-term female partner, Tuulikki. I don't see fandom much explore or care about Moomin/Too-ticky, probably because it is M/F. I think that's kind of funny? I'm not here to make a judgement-- I write Snufkin/Moomin-- but, when I think about what people value in Tove VS what narrative they like in fiction, it's interesting that the real-life experiences influencing that fiction doesn't matter.

Meanwhile, a lot of female mangaka represent their traits through male characters. Arakawa connects to Edward Elric, and Yana Toboso projects a lot of herself into Ciel Phantomhive. While it's not stated as outright as all the other examples, I do believe Iro-sensei projects a lot of their personality into Hanako, and Aida-sensei seems to playfully draw Iro-sensei as Hanako, or embellish him with Iro-sensei's IRL habits.

We can look at a story like JSHK, and we can look at it literally as a story about ghosts and humans and such. Or, we can look at it thematically, and see a story about many, many more things we might relate to. Broad concepts of eschewing society's morals, strictures, or values (suchas Tsukasa), or following them to the point of pain (suchas Teru), who gets punished or forgotten and why, how to be happy in a world that doesn't care if you are happy (Hakubo, Sumire).... etc...

Hanako's struggle with Nene-chan, is that he cannot marry her, he cannot grow up with her, and 'has no future' with her. I would describe Hanako as chronically unable to conceptualize commitment for himself. At the start of the manga, this makes him a kind of playboy to Nene-chan-- flirtatious, harassing, but also closed-off. He sees his dynamic with Nene-chan as a temporary, short-term thing... a year of frivolity with a girl, something that can't 'go anywhere'. He can be capricious, but only because of a sense of hopelessness. This relationship cannot "go anywhere".

Much to be said about queer relationships being seen as 'a phase' in many cultures... something you do when young, but grow out of, moving into normative adulthood. I'm not saying that's the INTENTION-- but that you could happily choose to read it however you want, connect to it however you want.

I mean... gay marriage is not sanctioned across Japan... this concept of "a person you can play with a little when you're young, but never truly commit to" is a cultural concept there. It's interesting that when Nene-chan dreams, "I want to get married some day in the real world!", Hanako receives it as a rejection, and no longer plans to attempt to entrap her through bizarre, indirect circumstances.

Hanako can use strange, convoluted systems like making Nene-chan his kannagi, or binding her to him with the mermaid scale, to ensnare them together .... as much as you could uh, start a business with your lover, but perhaps not legally marry them. It's an interesting compromise, or as he says in Picture Perfect, 'I'm only using what I can'.

Picture Perfect is also about creating a fake fantasy world which fictionalizes everything into a saccharine and acceptable, normative fantasy one wherein Hanako is no longer a Mononoke, but the human, Amane. As Mitsuba says, "in this world, she can even marry No. 7!". What does it mean for Nene-chan to reject this sanitized, acceptable rewritten version of their love, & desire the haunting ghost, even with all of the foibles of that? She doesn't claim to hate the fiction, but it isn't the love she remembers.

The concept that kaii simply 'cannot access' certain aspects of society is interesting. This concept that humans engaging with kaii sincerely, are naive, short-sighted, and incapable of thinking of the 'big picture' is, too. It's childish of Nene-chan to chase Hanako, and others who 'know better' or think more 'realistically' chide or laugh at her for it (Akane, Teru, Mitsuba....). Mitsuba finds it funny that Nene-chan is so smitten with a lover she can't have for life. Mitsuba longs to be 'normal'. Hanako wants a 'normal' life for Nene-chan.

Just as well, however Amane or Tsukasa may have felt about each other, they were brothers. There is a limit to the level of closeness they can have. To put it bluntly, they can't get married, either, lol.

Amane/Hanako the entity may not 'have a future' with anyone he loves, as he may not ever have a proper, societally-acceptable love, with anyone. His love might always be something impossible to achieve-- the moon, out of his reach. That's an interesting trait for a main character.

I think it shouldn't be shameful or stupid or reductive to connect to Hanako/Nene, or Akane/Aoi (lifelong 'best friends'), or Sumire/Hakubo (who were hardly seen as people by anyone, their relationship's value anywhere from invisible to repugnant) .... we literally do not know Aida or Iro's relationships, experiences, we don't even know their own identities or personal lives all that deeply....! We don't know where they are writing or drawing from. But in that way, I think it would be doing a disservice to what you can connect to in a narrative, to presume it's only ever what it looks like on the surface.

For a great many authors & artists, we didn't get to know the greater narrative of their life until long after they died, and could reread their works with new context. I don't think people need to die for you to do that, though. If you notice a consistent theme, it might be intentional... or it might not be! You should have fun. You shouldn't worry too much about it IN-TEXT being wlw or mlm lol.... that's, just not how a lot of people choose to write their stories, even if their lived reality is exactly one thing. Even if there's not a deep reason, maybe it feels more fun or more playful to imagine oneself, a lesbian, as a nasty teenage straight boy. Maybe it even feels more 'real' but in a 'lol... tfw' way. Do you feel me on that??? Sometimes... I think things get a little too literal around the web lately in media analysis!!!!! I would love to encourage anyone who needs permission, to get a little less literal. I don't think you need to, imagine Hanako as a woman to make HanaNene appropriately lesbo vibes, or to justify yourself, a lesbo, liking it. You could be a lesbo and Hanako could represent the type of girl you are exactly. There are girls like that. I mean. Tsukasa represents the type of girl I am.... *paws out*

and aouhhhrho aoaaoouou disclaimer anyone can enjoy whatever they like etc etc have fun etc, live your life etc not saying everyone who likes XYZ is insecure or XYZ or should just blah blah or it's wrong to do blah blah write blah, this all isn't relevant to you whatsoever if you're happy and confident in what you like, proud to like it or whatever, this post is only!!!! relevant if you feel ashamed, embarrassed, silly, or dumb for 'seeing something' or relating to something 'not for you' or 'not there'!!! You don't know that it isn't there! You don't have to choose from .... the few same-gender options actually in-text. Or contort the canon around. You can see your own relationships in anything. Because people write their own relationships in a thousand ways.

My husband and I can write ourselves as two girls. As two girls and a boy. As two boys. As a boy and a girl. As two boys and a girl. As a boy and a nongendered thing. We do this obsessively. I wouldn't say any of these narratives are more or less accurate or true to our lives depending upon the genders aligning with our real life human bodies. We can be a thousand things, and we're still 'us'. We recognize 'us' in that which resonates.

1, 11, 15, for whichever fandom sparkles the most at the moment. :3

List 3 Positive Things About Your Current Fandom(s) Ooooh lets see, I'm not in a lot of fandoms (kinda keeping my bit of distance for mental health reasons) 1- The friends I made, especially the KQ and MI fandom. Even if we don't talk often, let alone about the source we're fans of, it still makes me happy when we talk about that one source (e.g. Sea of Thieves or KQ) 2- It's not overwhelming? Like, sure it's not massive and popular and constantly being updated, but I'm okay with that, especially nowadays where I don't have the mental capacity to handle everything. 3- The encouragement. Because of how small it is, even if it's the same three people, there's something fun about sharing new ideas or rehashing old ones and expanding on it.

If You're a Writer or Artist, What Fic or Piece of Art Are You Proud of Making? Ahhhh lets see.... starting first and foremost, and it's grand cover of three fandoms, my little ol' @threeadventurers. It's all three fandoms in one.

But individually, this one is my favorite for Monkey Island

And in terms of fics, now and forever will I be proud of From the Perspective of a Royal Guard for the King's Quest fandom.

The Character That Always Makes You Smile Guybrush Threepwood! Hands down, every time. I will sob every time he appears. He is THE Blorbo in my eyes, he brings me absolute joy and has always been my comfort character since the 90s. I know one would think Link, and he does, but Guybrush makes me happy and has been there every time I needed comfort.

Sea of Thieves absolutely RUINED me by having him directly talk to me.

[the-fiction-witch]

I found out from the fic you posted that there’s an English remake of het huis anubis!? I had no idea that the Dutch show me and all the other kids in the Netherlands and Belgium watched was so successful that they made other versions of it in other countries

I looked up your version of the show and I saw you only got 191? The original Dutch version has 404 episodes and the spin-off series has another 173 episodes excluding crossovers

We also had 3 movies, 7 books, several music albums, a spin-off series, 3 or 4 theatre shows/musicals, several board games, a nintendo ds game and 1 amusement park ride in the Netherlands and Belgium, did they remake any of those into English too?

Could you please tell me where I can watch the English version? I’m really curious to see how it is compared to the original. I’m honestly really excited about this because the character in your fic Jerome reminds me so much of his Dutch counterpart Jeroen, who I had a massive crush on, so it’s really cool to be able to read a fic about him or a version of him

I think I have a link where you can watch the original show, the movies and the spin-off series for free with English subtitles, if you want to watch more of the show I can send it to you?

AHhhh! Hello! Yes Hi!

I got really excited when I saw this!

But yes house of Anubis is a remake of the Dutch show it was made by Nickelodeon in 2011, the show was... I wanna say medium popular in the UK I know it aired in the US as well but I can't speak for the US.

At least for me this show was a huge part of my childhood It came out in 2011 which fun fact I was 12 then and I was a NERD, for history especially I was a big history nerd and this is basically was tripped me into my second egyptology focus but yeah It came for me at kinda just the right time, in just the right way and I have fond memories of sitting down after school to watch this show.

It got I think 3 seasons and then a movie here, but we got nothing like the massive stuff you listed there we got nothing like that, we barely even got any merch or anything of it, I am very jealous.

The funny thing was I never had a thing for Jerome when I first watched it I remember kinda thinking he was a bit of a dick not revisiting it as an adult its like... bring me my cocky little fluffy chaos boy!

And I've been wanting to do more characters for a while now and I was already doing Lancel stuff lately cause I kinda just stumbled on the memory of him in my mind, and had like a heart attack when I learnt Lancel and Jerome are plaid by the same actor which sent me, of course, running to IMDB to see what else I can watch.

As for watching the English version, I said it is steaming on Paramount Plus, on YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime and Apple TV if that helps. I'm rewatching it with friends and we have the physical media so I'm not sure if there are any downloads or stuff online I'm sure there likely is if you go digging.

Ohh I'd love to see the original show and stuff thank you so much!

And thank you so much for talking with me about it! I was kinda worried no one would have a clue what this was.

[aro-simp]

Heyyy, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 >:3 (these are again so many sksjskk, sorry)

AHHHH THANJ YOU AGAIN!!! That's like almost the entire ask game 😭 But I do love an excuse to ramble endlessly!

Thought it would be fun to answer some of these "in-character", those are green :)

3. What is your sense of style? Do you have any specific aesthetics when it comes to your wardrobe?

I don't have much of an own style I guess? I mostly just wear the overalls I have to wear when I'm working... preferably only halfway since it's always so damn hot around here.

You know now that I'm more comfortable with... myself I do like showing off my arms (and again: It's So Fucking Hot. Always.) so I'm a loyal tank top/undershirt/wife beater (whatever the fuck you wanna call it) wearer. I like to think it gives me something of a charmingly rugged appearance. Don't tell anyone I said that tho that sounds like bull.

And outside of work just whatever clean pair of jeans and any jacket. I like those kitschy neon windbreakers actually :)

I think that whole big pants little shirt thing looks great on me

4. What does your voice sound like? Is it low and gravelly? Is it high pitched and quiet? What does your laugh sound like?

I honestly always have such a hard time coming up with voices 😭

Luckily (or... sadly, tragically) I've been near obsessively watching old Top Gear/Grand Tour clips recently so Psy just ended up sounding like Richard Hammond in my head, accent included. ...Do with that information what you will.

5. What are your hobbies and interests? Do you have any that others find odd?

I fancy myself a bit of an artist, and I'm trying to play the piano!

I (obviously) really like jets but generally I just like mechanical vehicles! Cars, planes, ships, etc. I don't think it's in itself an odd interest but not a lot of people share quite the same ...type of enthusiasm with me.

I like video games and movies a lot... especially the action genre, and I really like dragons!

8. Do fans like or dislike you? Why?

Generally Psy is more on the length of fandom wide liked character. There's not really any huge fans but he also gets no big hate. He does kinda fall into the "fandom's most defended baby" section, he's queer and disability rep and don't you dare get too angry at him!

The dislike towards him is less about him as a character and more about him as a narrative device. There's some talk about forced representation, as always. But otherwise people are pretty chill about him.

The circle of people who are enthusiastic fans about him also won't shut up about what a cool detail it was to get the kid from the first movie back.

9. How do other characters feel about you? Why?

I think I'm generally met with like a sense of annoyance? Nothing too big but it's not getting past me that not everyone is too pleased with the space I take up. I'm loud, I'm obnoxious, I need more help and attention than others.

I like to think that despite the annoyance a lot of people find me somewhat charming, a bit of a renegade. I love to bicker and joke.

I understand that most folks I know are on a strictly professional level with me and well... I'm not an outstanding worker? I have some very specific aspects I focus too much on, I am too lenient with others. I did perhaps stir some trouble with one or two meltdowns... People know me! That's all I need. And most don't viscerally hate me...

I like to think I am more or less accepted within their circles as a silly little side guy

10. What is your "role" in the story? Main character? Villain? Side character?

just a measly little side character 😔 ...I'd argue not an unimportant side character, beautiful love interest to the protagonists after all! And I am a reoccurring role! But... side character nonetheless

11. What are popular ships involving you? Do any of them involve characters that aren't your f/os?

Most popular is of course RoosPsy!! We are boyfriends!!

I'd say second most popular would probably be... Hangman and I... Not a huge fan, personally. Not at all. Subsequently that also means Hangman x Rooster x I. Also. Not a fan. Maybe even worse, I don't want to see my man with a guy I can't stand >:/ (no hate to anyone who ships Hangman and Rooster it's just a ship I really don't like, my bad T^T)

PsyMav of course, lovely ship, lovely f/o :)

I think Goose and I as a familial ship are doing quite well!

12. Are there any mischaracterizations of you?

Fiction and reality do love to imitate each other and sadly that means that I am frequently caught in between constant infantilization and demonization :,) I promise it won't kill you to view me as an autonomous person and not just a walking talking charity cause. It also won't kill you to consider me just another member of society and not something so repulsive it has to be evicted from the community.

13. What songs do you associate with yourself?

I'm Gonna Win by Rob Cantor, I like the attitude of the song, I think it fits me :) I'm not necessarily a star of managing my life but it's quite a challenge to try and keep me down. The sort of sinister tone to it is also really nice, I'm gonna take what's mine and make that everybody else's problem.

2Econd 2Ight 2Eer by Will Wood, it's just such a fun song! And the line "I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind" is one I never can get out of my head.

Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons, this song makes me cry a lot :( Maybe it's the comfort of the idea that my shortcomings aren't my fault

Old Friend by Mitski, I just really like Mitski! And this song is great! All of her songs are great tbh...

[chaoskid-deer]

😅, 🏆, 💔 answer me, ps5

I'm still haunting you I see :)

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

Ahhhh I feel like you already know the answer to this one. I am super proud of this fic, because I think it had strong, clear themes, great prose, and as with all my fics it's a testament to my hard work and ability to finish something. HOWEVER, I was fighting off the shame demons to post Tell Me About A Complicated Man, and as much as I want to show it to everyone and ask them what they think I am also very embarassed to show it.

I feel like it has a lot of darker themes than my usual work, so I feel like I gotta attach a warning whenever I'm showing it to people. Frankenstien x his monster isn't that crazy a ship within the fandom, but I also feel like I can understand some sidelong looks over it. What can I say, I like seeing characters psychosexually torture each other.

Also, it's porn, and I've never written it before, and I feel like it says a little TOO MUCH about things I find hot

🏆 What's your most popular fic?

AUGH THIS IS ALSO KIND OF WILD. It's a Buzzfeed Unsolved fanfiction I wrote when I was 16 that has almost 2k kudos and was at one point both one of the longest bfu fics and on the first page of bfu fanfic sorted by kudos. I am super proud of it because it is the first long piece of fiction I've ever finished, and it's novel length, which is a crazy achievement. I think the plot was moving and I really found my stride as a writer. I got fanart for it that I really cherish, and some really kind, moving comments. It was my first time I've really felt a part of a fandom community and I found it to be a really motivating, positive experience.

That being said, I now have some more complicated feelings about RPF, and while I don't regret writing it or begrudge anyone else for writing it, I don't think I'd write RPF again. Also, there are some bits of it, especially in the beginning, that I would rewrite or cut completely. The start is kind of silly and meandering at times. I was posting chapters before the whole thing had finished, which is I think what pushed me to finish it, but also meant that I couldn't go back and tighten up the whole work as a whole. Once it was posted, that was it! I couldn't change it! Now I like to finish the whole work before I post a chapter, because I often only find out what a fic is actually about halfway through writing it.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

Nope! I am an evil fanfic writer and hurting characters brings me nothing but glee. There's a major character death fic involving one of my clone ocs that I look forward to writing with a dreamy smile on my face. Live in fear.

[creative-soul-22]

Madame Leota for the Character Asks #’s 2,4, 10, 23, and 37! 🥰

Hi @jedimasterbailey !

Thank you for these amazing asks! Let's go

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

Harriota! I'd love to see their interactions, their relationship...

But also I'd love to see more of her interactions with William Gracey!

And PLEEEEAASSSEEEEEE we need Madame Leota and Travis interactions! Imagine how cute it would be if Travis showed her his toys and carried her around in this way too big crystal ball! That's why I'm writing "Madame Leota babysits" at the moment.

And of curse we need to expand that "she was once popular but then Hattie trapped her inside her crystal ball and tables turned" trope!

I headcanon a scene where Leota stays with a royal family. So, as she arrives, she walks down the hallway of a huge ballroom to meet the king and there is an Orchestra playing and a choir chanting "Leota! Madame Leota!" as she walks towards the king.

Ahhhh damn just give a Haunted Mansion prequel called "Leota"!

4. "I know you don't believe in yourself but I do." (please correct me if I misquoted that line, I've only got the German version so far)

It's not only so beautiful but there is also SO MUCH to it! And this scene is so painfully cut short it's almost a crime.

Harriet runs right to Leota when the teams sees that Harriet isn't powerful enough to ban Hattie and when the stakes are getting high. They know they are dead without Leota's help. Keep in my mind: this after the scene in which Ben opened about his grieve for Alyssa. It's after the scene Harriet opened about her sisters and how she feels like isn't a real medium. So, at this point, nobody believes in Harriet, not even Harriet herself does (Ben and Bruce didn't believe in her from the very beginning). And then, just right then, Madame Leota says right this. She believes in her. The one and famous Madame Leota who Harriet has been looking up ever since. Madame Leota trusts Harriet so deeply that she is able to free her that she even begs Harriet to do so. She, Madame Leota, begs. It's more than just Leota's approvement. It's her way of honoring, respecting and acknowledging Harriet's power. It's her picking Harriet up and put her on the same step Leota is standing on. Harriet no longer needs to look up to Madame Leota, she is now equal with Leota. And of course it's a very cute Harriota moment because it's just them at the séance room and they're tender with each other...

I'm still not over how short cut it was! It's an important moment for both Harriet's and Leota's character because it shows how Harriet had gone from "I'm qualified. Bonafied. Certified. And I can get rid of what died." to "I need your help, I can't do this alone!".

Also it shows how Leota had gone from "I can show you what happened but it will cost you $3." to "Please, set me free so I can help you." While we see Harriet more often in the movie and her change is shown throughout the movie (living room scene), Madame Leota's change comes out of the blue because she has criminally little screentime. Character changes are great but PLEEEASSSSEEEE show them to us! They are a process, not a switch!

10. Best moment on screen

The scene when she and Harriet defeat Hattie together with Ben. It's Harriet and Leota stepping up to the true greatness of their characters: Harriet being finally able to use her full powers, Leota being finally able to face her greatest fear: Hattie.

23. If they were a scented candle, what would they taste like?

Madame Leota would be a Febreze Ocean candle.

37. What they really think about themselves

Ooh I think Madame Leota blames herself for a lot of things that happened in the past. I'm sure she blames herself for not being able to reach Eleanor Gracey, for Hattie being around and therefore William Gracey's death. She also thinks she was so stupid to keep holding séances every night just to have more money against her gut feeling. Also she thinks that being stuck inside her crystal ball sucks but that she deserves it as punishment. Because inside the crystal ball, she is never happy. She never smiles. She only smiles when she's outside the crystal ball and Hattie is defeated. That's when she's happy again. And then she is able to look at the bright side of things: "It's actually quite spacious in there" (she also says that to calm Harriet down who is extremely worried).

Ahh thank you for letting me rant about my favourite lady at the moment!

ASK ME MORE OF THESE!! ALSO FOR OTHER CHARACTERS, I HAVE A LOT OF FAVOURITE CHARACTERS!!

[itsahotminuteinbetween]

loop de loop <333 i think Loop Doop and Slumber would absolutey be friends but maybe thats just me

what is Loop Doop's role in the plex? :0 and by extension Bloo's and Pulsar's as well?

(also i love their names ahhhh <33 they sound like characters i'd be obssessed with as a kid)

OC ASKS LET'S GO (hoping this triggers my brain into making more stuff about them)-

OH Loop Doop and Slumber would probably absolutely be friends (as soon as she recovers from having to interact with someone who isn't Bloo, of course-most of the other animatronics don't talk to her)!

Loop Doop didn't originally have a role in the Plex, as she was kind of thrown into it as a result of the company merger-she kind of just wandered around for the first few months and followed the staffbots for a little bit before accidentally being thrown into an act (haven't thought of exactly how-most likely some kid started acting up and she pulled some trick to cheer them up). She's sort of her own little attraction in the halls or on the ground floor, doing some tricks or juggling acts or whatever she feels like to entertain wandering kids. She does occasionally do little performances on the side at the Daycare's theatre-comedy bot wasn't creating enough revenue and the DCA was busy, so she's assigned shifts every now and then. She doesn't really like the theatre much, though, too bright and too high up from the audience for her tastes.

Pulsar is a semi-sentient wifi router, an embodiment for the security system, for lack of better terms. It was originally created for its company's smaller locations, but because Fazbear did not care enough to rebrand it, he's plugged into the main server for the building. He has information on guests and staff, doubles as a moving security camera around the plex, and is connected to the plex's database. He also patrols the building at night because frankly, there's nothing else for it to do. Fazbear tried to give it more voicelines so it could give little snippets of information to guests, but none of their technology is compatible with the other company's design (and tinkering with the company's animatronics is in violation of their contract). Pulsar doesn't really do much except flick through the camera feeds and turn off the router or electricity to the building for laughs-he can't get in trouble for it, and he's bored, so why not have a little fun?

Bloo doesn't actually have any function, to be honest. His only core design purpose is to be a water bottle dispenser and storage unit, but someone at the original company gave him an ai chip, and there's no jobs for him to carry out at the plex. Not only that, but he has the mental capacity of a child, so not much they can employ him for. He helps Loop Doop with their act sometimes, but he mainly just wanders around the main attractions and helps guests with directions. Other than that, he hangs out with the more popular animatronics and helps out at the daycare-which is how he meets the DCA and introduces them to Loop Doop.
