Harumasa x shy!Fem! Reader

Warning: none just fluff and crack maybe suggestive? If you squint your eyes just one line. Not proofread!

Note: Listen.i do not like angst i mean come on i don't wanna cry not rn BUT MY HANDS WERE ITCHING TO WRITE SOMETHING HERE i held myself back. Here is your request anon and I hope you like it!also i would say get his cons of wtv it's called in zzz because i have the same plans but you do you also don't forget his w-engine

•For someone like him you are too fun to tease.

• He is a little bastard and will not pass on any opportunity to tease you and make you flustered and it happens almost everyday

•What doesn't help the situation is that your seat is literally in front of him yea.

•Imagine you working on the papers yanagi gave you and he is just there slacking off looking at you with those lovesick puppy eyes of his.

•Yea this is going to be the second time yanagi hits him standing behind with a paper roll and bonk!

•Please restore to bonking him too when needed because the things he whispers in your ear is not friendly

•It's a daily occurance of him coming from behind and wrapping his arms around your waist while burying his face in your neck and shoulders.

•No matter how many times he has done this he will never get tired of your reactions. The audacity he has to do this in the office while you are sorting out papers from the mission.Another bonking from yanagi.

•When he is not near you is rare but when he isn't he is always texting some cringey movie pickup lines and when you don't reply to him almost instantly he goes like.

“Guys are you seeing this”

“My girl out here cheating on me”

“YOU GAVE ME 2 MINS TO REPLY WTH”

•Imagine having a movie night with section 6 and soukaku and him choosing a horror movie on purpose and he is literally sitting right behind you.Yea in other words prepare yourself for a heart attack.

•Sneaky bastard finding a place to sneak his hands around your waist at the time of jump scare.

•But it's not like you are not prepared, you have a pillow in hand which goes straight to his face.

•Little shit acted like it hurted so much to make you worried.

“Haru! Are you alright? I am sorry!”

“Ow ow ow no of course i am not that pillow hits hard do you have rocks in there” his next line is

“You can kiss it better tho”

•Yea hit him again. Yanagi had to cover Soukaku's ears because of him. On the other hand, Miyabi is not fazed; she is more interested on the movie that's been playing on the screen but makes sure to give a side eye to him every now and then.

•If he teases you too much, just tease him back it will shut him up real quick. The fastest remedy to repeal against him. Make sure to do it in private tho don't want to yanagi mad and get overtime.

2am ★

suguru geto x reader

synopsis: your friend (?) comes into your room at 2 in the morning because he can’t sleep.

notes: hes so precious i just wanna kiss him ahhhhhh

the glowing numbers on your alarm clock read 2:00 am. the sky outside your semi-open window shows pitch black while the curtain covering it occasionally flutters due to the wind.

you lie in your bed, still and unable to sleep due to the thoughts running through your head plus your efforts to suppress them.

these days, your mind seems to always wonder back to the star plasma vessel mission, to riko herself.

riko amanai. a young girl, no older than 13. she didn’t deserve to die. you can still remember the sound of the gun hitting her, the sound of her now-still body hitting the ground, and her cold lifeless gaze. what could you have done differently to save her?

moping about it was doing you no good, though, so you decided that you would stop thinking about it all together, which was easier said than done.

you stared up at the ceiling, trying to think of something, anything else. counting sheep was turning out futile. sleep. sleep. you just wanted sleep. it felt like you hadn’t slept in months.

the familiar click! of your doorknob turning snapped you awake. you almost never lock your room, but only one person would come in here so late at night.

“nnh…suguru.” you sat up to look at him.

“did i wake you up? i’m sorry.” he asks sheepishly. his dark hair is outside of its usual bun, cascading onto his shoulders and part-way down his back. his eye bags are obvious, he must be just as tired as you are.

“i can leave if you wa-“ he starts but you interrupt him. “you didn’t wake me up! i- i couldn’t sleep either and even if i wasn’t awake, you’re always free to come in here.”

he had already stayed the night in your dorm a handful of times so him still being nervous about it was confusing, but cute nonetheless.

“you’re too kind to me,” he says, a smile adorning his face. that smile. that stupid smile.

admittedly, when your mind wasn’t occupied with dead girls toppling onto concrete floors, it was usually filled with him.

you scooted over and patted on the space next to you. as you started to sink back into the warm sheets, he made his way beside you, sliding into the covers.

“how’d your mission tod- yesterday go?” you ask, turning your head to look at him. he’s gorgeous, so gorgeous, you think.

“mmh, about as good as it could’ve gone.” he sighs.

sometimes, you feel like he’s the only person who will ever truly understand. he was there, right next to you when it all went down. maybe that’s why the two of you are so close now, a trauma bond of some sort.

the two of you lay together, only a few inches in between. that space was slowly shrinking as you gradually shifted closer every time you stole a glance at him. it felt taboo, these feelings that you were having for him. you weren’t supposed to feel this way. not about him.

unaware to you, suguru had been having similar thoughts. as much as he’d try to deny them because you would never ever like him back, he thought, they always sprang back up. he was tired of having to hide them.

to him, you were the sun itself, the center of his galaxy. he was so lucky, he thought, that you let him in your space so often, that he was able to breathe in your presence.

your shoulders were now side by side, touching, and he didn’t say a thing. suguru’s comforting presence had your eyes drooping.

your mind started to wonder to what it would be like to sleep next to him every night, maybe in a house the two of you would own instead of these dorms. you knew were getting ahead of yourself with your white-picket-fence fantasies, but you were too tired to care.

half asleep and absentminded, you snuggled closer to him, burrowing your face into the crook of his neck and slipping an arm around him. maybe you were feeling bold. maybe you were too tired to fully comprehend what you were doing.

suguru froze, his heart threatening to thump out of his chest. he was sure you could feel it against you. could you feel it? could you feel his emotions for you? did you know? he wanted you to know. he wanted to spill his hear out, to kiss you like there was no tomorrow, to have you.

he needed this. he needed you.

“[name]?” he murmured. you let out a faint hum in response, teetering between the border of awake and asleep.

“look,” he braced himself. he didn’t know what would come out of this, if your friendship would survive. he didn’t want to lose you, the only one who, he thought, truly cared, but he couldn’t live like this.

“..I’ve been having these feelings….these feelings about you. i..I’m really glad we’re friends, but every time you talk to me i just don’t know. i don’t know if i want just this. i want more. i want us to at least try having more. i know its sudden but its how i feel.”

he waited in anticipation for your response, staring at the ceiling. a few moments passed and he called your name. “[name]?” he asked, “..please say something.” a few more moments passed and he heard a soft snore. he looked down and sure enough you were knocked out, your chest rising and falling.

he smiled, moving a piece of your hair out of your face. had you heard any of what he said? would you even remember? probably not, he thought. oh well. there’s always tomorrow.

his eyes started to droop too, and he slipped into unconsciousness to thoughts of you, you, you.

[gemharvest]

Okay hear me out (and I will forget I sent an ask in again 2 seconds later) RGB as crystal gems

PREFACING THIS ART WITH AN "I'm sorry I didn't lean more into the SU side of things" I am being so fr I don't wanna mess with trying to figure out more gem-like outfits for them so they're basically the same except with limited palettes and also gems. I don't think it's actually gonna matter to anyone but ANSJKNKDGJ if I don't open with that my brain will Explode. /lh

GO CRAZY GO STUPID AHHHHHH. GEMS. I'm going to have to put my bullet points under a read more just cuz I know I am about to fucking Go Off. grins

Girlfriend is a red diamond. Boyfriend is a peridot. Pico is a green spinel.

GIRLFRIEND:

Went with a diamond cuz of the status thing. I am almost worried it feels like too easy of a pull but I doonnn't care I think it'd be fun if she was a diamond. :) Red obviously because it's her color.

Playing off the status thing; ofc her parents would also be diamonds and so you can have the reasoning of "oh this isn't a high-rank gem" for them not liking Boyf. I mean if you need any reasoning aside from them just being unreasonable LOL but that's always there.

Placement on her chest because !! love !!!! That's also why it's a heart-shaped cut instead of a. Diamond shape.

My backup assignment for her would be a jasper because I think it'd suit her well to be any quartz, and with jasper you can get close to her reds !! The status thing is really what made me decide on a diamond tho.

As I type this I realize there are some vaaaguee similarities to Pink I could pull as extra reasoning but shruuuugs my brain is NOT in an analytical mood rn so I'll just let others chew on that for me.

This isn't really relevant to RGB but I wanna mention it: I think it'd be funny if the demon henchmen were rubies.

BOYFRIEND:

The biggest factor for me going peridot with him is the fact that a common headcanon for canon Peridot is that she's autistic and while I mostly work with ADHD Boyf myself (since that's the experience I can pull from personally)... I am a sucker for a good autistic/AuDHD read with him.

This man is short and Era 2 peridots are short. If I drew him SU style this guy would need limb enhancers. lol

Instead of a prohibition symbol his shirt has the outline of a star. I just find that neat. :)

He would sooooooo suck at a peridot's role but also iirc in canon he's a college drop out anyways so it cancels out. He's got that Greg Universe in him.

Honestly, I put his gem placement on the back of his hand bc I had no clue where else to put it. My secondary placement for it would be on his forehead bc it'd make me giggle with him being Dumb but canon Peridot already has the forehead placement so I didn't go ahead with that.

HE STOLE PICO'S GREEN SPOT. spritzing him with water like a naughty dog BAD BOYFRIEND.

PICO:

This is my little indulgent one I really. I really love canon Spinel. This is tangential but like I literally have 4 spinel OCs and then another 4 furry OCs with designs based on canon Spinel. The urge to make One Of Them a spinel was going to be there.

The juxtaposition of him being a gem with an entertainer role and also a hard-ass hitman makes me giggle. Idk I feel like if you already know canon Spinel then you can probably connect the dots as to why I'd imagine him as a spinel as well.

Heart cut because I find it cute and it matches GF. I think a spade shape could be fun too but idk I prefer just going with a heart. Placement on his upper back because. :) Because he can't easily shield it from damage that way. He has to be constantly aware of his surroundings, unless he wants to give someone the chance for an easy hit on him if they sneak up from behind. Little paranoia thing to fuck with him. I'm so nice to Pico !! :D

Bringing back the status thing with GF's parents; I can't help but giggle thinking abt them hiring him. Imagine you get recommended this really good hitman and you meet up and it's a fucking court jester. Fucking ego hit but DD needs the job done so he hires him anyways. AND THEN PICO DOESN'T EVEN CARRY OUT THE FUCKING HIT. Never hiring a clown off of Craigslist again. /JOKING

hits play on this and sits down with my head in my hands

OKAY BEFORE I'M DONE I WANNA MENTION: I made myself give them all gem assignments BUT I do think it would be fun if one of them was not a gem a la Greg and Rose. So I give you: regular canon demon GF and her two gem boyfriends. Takes a bow. (<- honestly might do something further with that for my own fun. teehee)

[wylanzahn]

New-ish post, kinda posting this on different platforms and getting a general vibe check for some ideas I have. But basically this Halloween I want to actually do something for the TTRPG and Actualplay world (oh yeah I’m into those kinds of things). I want to try and get both players, GMs, and casual viewers alike something fun to look forward to this especially spooky season. I’ll probably talk a little more when we get closer to the actual season of scare-giving but just know that if you’re interested I’m still looking for people to join in!!

As my team and I’d first debut we’re going to try and do a two to four session actual play, which will probably be released in the weeks leading up to Halloween. We’ve had a couple good friend way in on the matter of “setting” but now I come to you fine folk. Mind you this is a horror campaign/arc so if…

Isn’t your thing, keep on a moving.

But without further ado here are a couple of the possible settings for our players, and myself, this coming espookee season…

1.) Somewhere off the coast of Florida, 1926 end of the first major housing boom in the state, a small island which calls back to the Spanish Empire, is Isla Boñyela, a small port made tourist location during the boom of disposable wealth in 1920s America. A small group of friends from the northeast tag along down for the perfect paradise vacation. Only to discover the island is much much older than anyone could have ever assumed. Whilst dealing with upstart gangsters, unnerving US soldiers, and the terrified locals they find something older than even undead conquistadors.

While I don’t have a working title, this is an old project in the running which I’ve had a few attempts at revamping over time. Its previous title was “perfect paradise vacation,” and runs on the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition game. Anywho it’s a blast of fun with Caribbean lore, tone of anti-imperialism, and something dark lurking beneath the waves.

2.) 1950’s America, the nonexistent state of Mid-Atlantia (DMV coded) in a small suburban neighborhood where nothing goes wrong… it’s almost “All-Hallows-Eve” and little Johnny and Susie want nothing more than to trick or treat this year with all the big kids, Dad’s finally getting the big promotion at work, and Mom just got a new waffle iron! Sure everything is neat here in America. Heck you just got new neighbors! Newlyweds in fact from somewhere big and fancy, they sure aren’t like any of us in our simple town. But… and you can’t say exactly why but things are different. Or perhaps they’re all too the same? Everyday a repeat of ever other bland day that followed you over and over and over and over… and you could swear, while no one may listen to you there’s someone out there. Stalking you from outside your own home- or- perhaps, he’s just your friendly new neighbor welcoming you… to the end.

Ahhhhhh! I’ve also been working on this one for a sec and god writing it out does excite me. This is also a Call of Cthulhu game but modified/homebrewed to have a uniquely 1950s horror feel. This is definitely one of the more unique games I’ve written and am truly interested in seeing where it goes (even if we don’t choose it). This is for those who feel like isolation, fear of the unknown, fear from within, and liminal space horror comes best into play! So whadya say neighbor?

3.) The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend, or How I Learned to Love Strahd, okay so this one is a lot less horror-y and falls much more under the comedic spooky category, just so yall know. Deep in the middle of Barovia, the ancient kingdom of Vampires, meets a council of Count Strahd von Zarovich's greatest commanders and lieutenants to hunt down Strahd's greatest enemy Rudolph van Richten and his party of heroes known as "The Grape-Smashers." Strahd's lieutenants have been gifted powers greater than any mere mortals, but are these gifts enough to stop Van Richten, or even enough to stop the personal ambitions of each other? Come find out in "How I Learned to Love Strahd."

Okay, as much as this may seem like a joke suggestion it cracks me up and I feel like it would be ill-advised of me to not at least mention it. In an era where "The Curse of Strahd," is well-overdone at this point, it's worth a take from an all evil "revenge story." Obviously this will be in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, which, in my opinion, is really hard to use for horror, but this is a nice go-around. Come for the evil PCs, maybe a PvP battle or two, and a game of intrigue in the shadows of Barovia! All that and a buff Van Richten.

4.) Before Annapolis was ever called such it was known as Providence, a settlement of exiled Puritans in the Province of Maryland, but these early days were no easy set-up for the far-flung protestants... in the mid 1600s the English Civil War spilled out into their holdings across the waves as brother turned on brother, clan erasing clan, and something from the shores of the Old World would arrive in the New. When around every corner could be someone you've known your whole life, what's stopping them from hunting you in the depths of winter. All matters made worse when rumors of a witch begins circulating your small home.

Think "The VVitch" (2015) meets "A Field in England" (2013) meets Atun Shei's recent film "The Sudsbury Devil" (2023). It is the unexplored wilderness of early colonial Maryland, but the hateful warmongering that slowly builds that makes the horror and tension so clear. Unsure of what system we'll be using, but maybe the new Regency Cthulhu system.

5.) The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904 destroyed some 140 Acres of Baltimore proper... and in it's rubble awakened something far worse. But you and your fellow survivors are just trying to get by in the aftermath of the fire... only for something to call out, whether some strange magicks or perhaps just a sickness... but sickness doesn't even linger like this... it doesn't call to you...

Some more local history, aspiring from the actual Fire of 1904 things quickly devolve from there as rumors of a cult begin to spread along the streets of Rosland Park... a mysterious illness leaving even more dead... and the death of an eclectic professor. Definitely using the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition for this one.

Aaaaaaaand that's it! Let me know what y'all think!

AHHHHHH OKAY CHAPTER TWO HERE WE GO!!!. Once again and i will say this for every chapter if I have to this story is not mine it belongs to @moshispace and I offered to write it for them ,please check out the work and see how they go into detail about it. They are the creator I am the writer. Check out chapter one to get caught up ( I’ll link it at the end) .

WARNING: this story contains yandere themes and tendencies , foul language, dark themes maybe or maybe not some gore but only a little. also mentioning of smoking. 

If any of this makes you uncomfortable please feel free to not read .

( by the way, the two little creatures are Draxum’s shoulder things ,Muninn and Huginn are their names they play the little Humpty Dumpty looking twins)

Ok enough yapping from me let’s get into this.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

.

.

.

.

“ I told you it was her!”The voice said in happiness

and success I turned around in shock as I see a

snapping turtle a girl with a buzz cut and two

small creatures,the girl shrugged her shoulders as

she rolled her eyes looking to the snapping turtle

“ I am not convinced “

The girl said as she placed her hands on her hips 

“ well how is that for gratitude?…, i’ve been up

there for weeks, trailing and mistaking one person

after the other, thinking it was her. And I was

almost caught by other humans! , could you

imagine?!… I saw some things that I don’t wanna see again..”

The snapping turtle said as he sighed

“ she doesn’t look anything like herself “

I flinched in shock as I turned around to see a

flower head talking behind me. The girl rolled her

eyes again

“ that’s because she’s the wrong reader !”

She exclaimed as she pointed at me .

Then one of the two creatures by them spoke

“ well she was,theymight be .”

One of them said I felt so confused this had to be

a dream right…but it all felt so familiar it was

unsettling ,then the other creature spoke

“ if she isn’t, they ain’t”

“But if she were so, she would be.”

The other one said

“But she isn't, nohow.”

The other spoke back starting to bicker but i

stopped them

“ wait wait how can I be the wrong reader if this is

my dream ?”

I said confused as I looked to all of them , they all

look to each other in confusion

“ and who are… all of you if I might ask?”

I say in confusion as I await for an answer the two creatures answer first

“ I’m Muninn and he’s Huginn”

“ or more like he’s Muninn and I’m Huginn “

Huginn says as he puffs his chest proudly

“ maybe we should consult Draxum “

Said as another person walks into the group, a

older woman who had her hair tied back wearing

Jade colored clothing .

( it’s karai aka gram gram if you needed to know)

“ Exactly. Draxum will know exactly who she is “

One of the flowers said confidently

“ oh oh ILL escort her”

Muninn said proudly as he walked towards me

tugging the right side hem of my dress but

Huginn quickly followed

“Hey, it's not being your turn...so unfair”

He spoke as he pouted as he tugged the left side

hem or my dress . Both of them now tugging on

my makeshift dress the snapping turtle sighs

“ you can both escort her…my name is Raph and

this is Cassandra”

Raph said as he pointed to Cassandra , I nodded

as we walked into the garden looking forest after

walking for a while I spoke up

“ so who is this Draxum ?”

I said curiously ,Raph turn to me and spoke

“ oh he is wise and absolute”

Raph says as he kept walking,Muninn and Huginn

smiled

“ he’s Draxum”

They both said in union .

As we kept walking I saw a cloud or well…fog of

smoke and i could tell we were getting close as

we stepped into to blue smoke a figure appeared

in a laying sitting down position .

“ who are you?”

He simply says, as he looks at me

“ Draxum ?”

I said with a small hint of guessing in my voice

“ well you’re certainly not Draxum ,I am Draxum ,

the question is who are you?”

He said with a little more sass in his voice as he

took another smoke and puffed it into my face .

I accidentally inhale it, which leads me to cough a

little .raph glares at Draxum as he were showing a

warning ,Draxum simply sighs

“ my apologies “

Draxum says as he took another puff and blew the smoke in a different way

“ but the question still lingers who are you ?”

He said as he looked back at me

“ oh right, I’m reader”

I said as he looks at me with a quizzical

expression almost intrigued

“ we shall see..”

He said, I was confused

“ wait what do you mean i know who i am “

I said confused as I looked at him

“Yes, you ought, stupid girl-“

“Draxum …”

Raph said with a little bit of venom in his voice

Draxum sighed as he takes another smoke

“ Unroll the Oraculum….”

Draxum said simply as he puffed out the smoke

the others go to a scroll and opened it it seemed

to be very long i haven’t seen anything like it.

“The Oraculum, being a calendrical compendium

of Underland.”

Raph said as he turned to me showing me the

Oraculum i then walked closer and looked to see

it ,as I looked at it I raised an eyebrow

“ it’s a calendar “

I say as I examine it

“Compendium.”

Draxum simply said as he puffed out another smoke

“It tells of each and every day since the

Very Beginning.”

Draxum said ,I then looked back at the Oraculum

My eyes slightly widened as I saw all of us in the

Oraculum looking at the Oraculum drawn out

“Today is Griblig Day in the time of the purple

king .”

Raph said as he pointed at the drawn out version

of all of us

“Show her the Frabjous Day.”

Draxum said as he took in another smoke

“Mmm. Yeah, Frabjous being the day you come 

or not come the purple queen .”

Huginn said with a goofy smile , I look back to the

Oraculum seeing me with a faded out crown that

seem to be disappearing?

“ wait what?…”

I said very confused as I examined the oraculum

“ purple..purple…purple….wait Donnie?!”

I said in a gasp as a few memories came back

“Wait Donnie is king ?!”

I asked in shock

“ no no that can’t be me…”

I said as I looked to them all a few memories being more clear ,cass sighed

“ I know, I told you Raph she-“

I then cut her off

“ wait no I do … I can remember a few things, but it’s still a little fuzzy, but I….”

I looked to them all

“So this is reader Draxum ?”

Cass asked as she looked to Draxum

“ in time she will remember”

He simply said as he puffed out smoke and

disappeared from where he was.

(half of my story deleted 😭😭😭😭)

They all look at me confused

“ wait this is my dream im going to wake up and

you are all at going to disappear “

I said as I pinch myself but no avail

“That’s weird that usually does the trick “

I said confused as i pinch myself again cass

smiled slightly as she pulled out her pocket knife

“ i could cut you if that would help?”

She said with contentment ,i look to her and

nodded in agreement

“ Thant would actually, thank you “

I said as I gave her my hand

“ my pleasure “

She simply said as she quickly cut my hand, I

winced in pain as I took my hand away from her .

Suddenly a huge mushroom from a little distance

away was destroyed as a monster growled in

anger Muninn and Huginn jumped in shock

“ the Bandersnach!!”

They both yelled in fear and the ran into the

bushes and ran away, the bandersnach the roars

loudly as these robot card looking things came

into view as they all started chasing us as we all

ran .As we ran I saw that they were catching every

animal in the area ,I suddenly saw Raph shielding

me as he took a tranquilizer dart .

“ Raph ?!”

I yelled in shock worried for him but he gave me a

look to keep running and I did so as he then

passed out , more card looking robots started to

come in as the bandersnach came closer roaring.

I then saw another person get caught, the woman

With Jade clothing she had stepped into a trap

and got hoisted into the air

The robots then pointed in the direction of which

me and cass were running in ,cass ran another

way up into something ,I ran into a huge looking

mushrooms area but the bandersnach roared as it

jumped over the mushrooms roaring again ,

I yelled in shock as I then stopped running

‘It was my dream right i could not get hurt’

Th thought to myself as I looked back at the

bandersnach who growled and roared at me as I

flinch slightly in fear.

“ run you dummy!!!”

Cass yells as she jumps from a mushroom and

stabs the bandersnach in the eye taking it out .

The bandersnach roars loudly in anger and pain

as it threw cass of but as it did that it scratched

my upper arm deeply, I yelled in pain as i started

to run losing sight and getting away from the area

as Muninn and Huginn managed to find me and

follow me to safety away from the damage and

chaos .

A little later we had found a decaying tree with

signs , one on the left saying ‘ SNUD ‘ and the one

on the right saying ‘QUEAST’ they both climbed

up the tree as i stayed to the ground

“ this way !” Muninn says as he points right to

‘QUEAST’ Huginn shakes his head in disproval

“No this way to Snud!” He argued

“ No No No. it’s this way!” He argued back at

Muninn, we all heard a screech I turned around as

I saw i giant robot bird and as it got closer I

ducked to the floor as it flew over me and

grabbed Huginn and Muninn with its talons,

They both scream as the got taken away i look at

them as the got taken away from the robot bird,

and off they went to the right ‘ QUEAST’

I knew that I definitely didn’t want to take that

path so I started walking the the left path

‘SNUD’

I was afraid that this was just the start of this

horrifying situation.

Just A Project | XI

Nathan Prescott x Reader

Masterlist

Parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Warnings: fluff like gagging fluff, swearing, ooc nathan, the whole shabang

Words: 957

A/N: AHHHHHH at last it has arrived. please enjoy this ones cute

As we finally reach the top of the infamous lighthouse, I have to take a moment to fully catch my breath. Damn those stairs will take you out. Nathan stands to the side waiting for my reaction to the nearly impossible view. I finally look up, and the sight I see nearly knocks the breath right back out of me. I’m absolutely speechless, my mouth kinda hangs open dumbly. “I told you it was good.” He smiles at my dumbfounded expression and grabs my wrist to pull me to the railing, giving me the full experience. 

My hands grip on the railing, taking in the view. Nathan stands close behind me with his hands in his pockets. He's so close the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. He leans down a bit, speaking softly into my ear. “I think now would be a perfect time for some shots.” Another small shiver runs down my spine. “Yeah,” I do my best not to stutter. “That sounds good.” I turned around to face him, not fully aware of how close he was, basically nose to nose. We both go wide-eyed for a moment before Nathan backs up a bit. I glance around awkwardly, “So, uhm… Am I posing?” I ask, Nathan looks around, “Yeah, I have a few visions in mind.” He gives me a small smirk, which I return with a shy smile.

He poses me all around the top of the lighthouse, getting different angles of every pose. I feel shy under his lens, but I’m not gonna lie, the strings of praise that leaves his lips when he is pleased with a particular shot keeps me going. He stops and looks at the pictures. He looks pleased? I’m not sure. I mean after almost an hour of posing there better be something worthy enough for Nathan. I sit still in my sitting position, back against the railing, knees pulled to my chest. I look up at him, just studying him. He’s so… not what I thought. To the naked eye Nathan is just a spoiled rich kid whose father basically owns the town you live in. Nobody really gets to know Nathan, and I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry that they’ll never know how funny, and kind, and caring Nathan can be under his hard exterior. I feel so honored and lucky that he was able to let me in. 

My thoughts were interrupted by Nathan himself. “There isn’t a single photo that isn’t perfect.” His words are spoken so softly I almost didn’t hear him. I laugh a bit nervously, “I don’t know about that.” He looks up at me and moves to sit next to me on the floor. “I’m serious, Y/N, look!” He hands me the camera, and I go through the photos. He was right. They’re all perfect. But not because of me, but because of him. His eye is so unique, and so him. Though it's nice to see myself from his perspective. “Nathan…” It’s so hard for me to formulate the right words. He looks at me, waiting for my response. Having his eyes on me so intently makes my cheeks turn a little pink. “These are so awesome. You’re an amazing photographer, Nate.” I look back at him. The eye contact throws me off, it feels so intimate. He shrugs, “You’re a great subject.” I smile and his goofy smirk only grows. “Whatever.” I mumble with a small eye roll. The sun is going down and it’s getting late. Nathan sighs and starts to get up. He’s looking up at the roof, “Come on, Nerd.” He finally looks down and holds out a hand for me to take. I grab his hand and he pulls me up. We go back to Nathan’s truck, and we drive back to Blackwell. 

The ride is silent, not awkward, just comfortable. Though I notice Nathan shifting around a lot, almost nervously? I try to not really think anything of it. When we arrive at Blackwell we both sleepily get ou of Nathan truck and walk towards the dorms. It’s a nice walk, just me and him, silently enjoying each others presence. We reach where the girls and boys dorms split and turn to face each other. I look up at him sleepily but with a smile on my face. “I guess this is where we part ways then.” I say with a yawn at the end. Nathan chuckles with his hands in his pockets and says, “Yeah I guess it is.” We just stand there smiling at each other, we must look like idiots to an outside view. I realize I’m still wearing his jacket, and I rush to shrug it off my shoulders, and hand it to him.

He looks at me like I’m dumb, and just shakes his head. “Keep it, Nerd. I’ll just get it tomorrow yeah?” I just smile and put the jacket back on, butterflies in my stomach for some ungodly reason. “I’ll see you tomorrow then, bright and early!” I put on a stern face with, in my own opinion, an amazing Mark Jefferson impression. It gets a fake laugh from Nathan, “Yeah, yeah okay nerd, whatever.” We both slowly start backing away to our own respective dorms, not breaking eye contact, our goofy smiles still present in our faces. “Goodnight, Nate.” I call out to him. “Goodnight, Y/N/N.” And with that I turn around walking to my room. A heat rising to my cheeks at the nickname. Little did I know that as I was walking away, Nathan had stopped to watch me get to the dorm hall safely, with his own coat of pink on his cheeks.

[evelili]

okay I’ve been reading your magnum opus fic and I’m at the chapter with fluttershy and the manticore and GOOD GOD this fic is amazing. Your writing of twilight is stunning. Her steadfast belief in science at the start seemed odd but now that her past bullying has been revealed it feels like she was just clutching to the one thing that couldn’t hurt her. God sunset getting possessed is so cool and I am TERRIFIED of when twilights going to be forced to see her like that. Your characterization of Celestia blows me away, she’s this perfect mix of a loving mentor and a woman who would do ANYTHING to keep her demons locked away. I really like how you write that there’s this shift between her when she is talking to twilight normally vs when she’s talking about magic. She goes from loving to almost cold, it’s brilliant! I’m halfway through fluttershy’s chapter and good god. Applejack’s speech about it not being Twilights fault she got bullied and having to trust her in spite of all that has happened nearly brought me to tears but GOD. Twilight being a bit possessed by the manticore is such a cool shift from the original episode it makes it all so much more intense. Fluttershy and twilight talking about how twilight didn’t deserve to be bullied and it’s alright that she didn’t get over it!!

“Something’s wrong with me,” she whispered back, her mouth dry with guilt. Fluttershy nodded carefully, the stinger still inches away from her throat. Twilight didn’t trust herself to move, and instead added, “I don’t mean just right now. There’s still—” She choked on her words. “I didn’t get over it,” she said instead. “I couldn’t. Not like you.”

Like!!! This bit right here fucked me UP. Your descriptions of the emotions she’s feeling and how she’s expressing it physically between her mouth and her voice and how the wings and scorpion tail are reacting are BRILLIANT!!

Twilight didn’t try to move away. “But I’m not better,” she admitted. Fluttershy’s hand brushed against her cheek, gently tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. “And I don’t know why.”

This line is the one that broke me and made me write this. GOD. I don’t have words besides just. oh my god. Fluttershys gentleness is so good and so heartbreaking and I love it

I’ll be honest I’m not yet sure how to write long comments on fimfiction, but when I finish this fic you’re eithering getting a long ass ask in your inbox or a comment on there if I figure it out. Love this fic so far!!! Ah!!!!

AHHHHHH tysm for taking the time to write such a lovely comment!!! like holy shit you have just given me enough serotonin for WEEKS omg, it makes me so happy to know that you're enjoying the story!!

celestia is a rlly interesting chara to me, and im super happy w how the version of her in the fic turned out! actually, most of the reason for the 30k epilogue jumpscare is that i really needed to properly resolve her "arc" with twilight, so if you are a fan of this version of her please look forward to that! and, sunset as a "villain" was something we only saw briefly in eqg1 (and for my tastes, i wasnt a huge fan of how it was done) but there's so much POTENTIAL there i couldnt help myself in exploring it :)

chapter 5->act 2 is the real "turning point" i guess of the fic in terms of tone, and even tho it was a struggle to write shy's chapter i think over time i've rlly come around to liking how it turned out :D in the fic i ended up writing fluttershy as more of a later season version of herself (less cowardly maybe?), but the essence of her chara to me is someone who can be kind even in situations when she is receiving unkindness in return. and sometimes, this "fighting fire with kindness" is actually the only solution, and one that only shy can find.

wahhh i never know how to properly express how much i love and appreciate these sort of detailed responses, so please also accept a little doodle of the scene you mentioned liking as part of my thanks!

[scyllas-revenge]

BLCI extra scenes or BLCI Alternate timeline scenes ??

Oooh okay so the extra scenes are just a collection of bonus scenes I'm planning to post once Burn Like Cold Iron is complete, probably as a separate part 2 fic. I'd meant it to be a collection of deleted scenes, moments that I'd had to cut from the final story, etc. but honestly 90% of them wound up being sex scenes lol. Most of them are also from Boromir's perspective, idk why but I had a lot of fun getting into his angsty, horny brain

I'm trying to find some excerpts to share that aren't plot spoilers or straight-up smut XD here's a G-rated snippet of one scene:

“Can I sleep with you tonight?” she had whispered, standing in his door in her nightgown, and Boromir had frozen, his ears filling with a white roar like the sea. “I know—I know it’s not proper, and it’s not fair to ask you, I know it’s not, but I haven’t slept in days…” Beatrice had swallowed, her exhausted eyes trained on her slippers, her long fingers twisting in her sleeves.

And a G-rated snippet of another scene:

Beatrice raised the bowl of Ent-draught to her lips and drank eagerly. “Are you sure you don’t want any?” she asked, offering him the bowl. “It’s so refreshing.” Boromir smiled and shook his head distantly—he’d only half-heard what she’d said, consumed by the way she’d drawn her thumb over her bottom lip as she wiped a trickle of moisture away, the gleam of a stray bead of water still trailing lazily down her chin and the curve of her neck. “Such magic is best left to you, sorceress.”

As far as the Alternate Timeline bit goes, that's also from Boromir's perspective and okay yes it's also smut I am a predictable piece of trash anyway it's sort of a "what if they had chemistry right when they met in Rivendell and how would that go?" and for that one I'll just copy-paste the notes I wrote in the draft:

They’re both homesick and touch-starved and find comfort in each other and gahhh

He’s also embodying that Boromir Woman article where he falls in love right after having sex and is also on the verge of tears almost constantly because he’s got like 50 lifetimes of stress and no one’s ever been gentle with him in his life yeah that’s the shit

Why didn’t I just write the fic like this in the first place ahhhhhh

I think that sums it up pretty well XD Anyway thanks so much for the ask!!

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest episode 10: thoughts + opinions

Uneasy Erza

I'm totally not shocked that Juvia has practiced kissing in front of the mirror at some point in time (she has to perfect it for her beloved Gray, am I right?)

but she's so adorable regardless

Gray's facial expression tells me this isn't the first time he's seen her doing it

Juvia the secret Jerza shipper ⚔️✨

J: ''Before I leave, I would like to encourage you to do some training of your own.'' E: ''Y-yeah, I'm okay, I think...'' J: ''Your kissing has to be up to snuff, or else Jellal will be displeased!''

I love how Erza is trying not to think about Juvia's words and is also trying to convince herself she's not bothered by that, although you can tell she's clearly disappointed she and Jellal aren't a thing yet (I know they aren't technically a canon couple, but they are canon to me because it's so obvious they have feelings for each other and have so much history together compared to the other big 3 ships) + I love how she starts practicing kissing as well lmao

Tattered Gajeel

aww, I love how Gajeel's been taking on more jobs because he and Levy are expecting a baby😭❤️

they look so cute snuggled up against each other + Levy's hand on her baby bump

Lily being a part of their little family, awww

Lucy's Leo x Virgo Star Dress Mix is soooo pretty😭😭😭

I love Lisanna's reaction to the Star Dress Mix lmao

wow, Lisanna getting one-shotted? geez, what a surprise🙄

Mira still standing isn't a shocker considering the fact that SHE'S A S-CLASS MAGE, but Elfman still standing did suprise me though

I LOVED VIRGO NOT SHYING AWAY FROM HER MASOCHISTIC TENDENCIES AND WANTING TO BE PUNISHED

AHHHHHH, A JERZA ENCOUNTER COMING UP! 🎉

I CAN'T WITH THEM

E: ''Why did you strip?'' J: ''Because you're here. Enjoy it.'' 😏😏😏 E: ''Wow, he's completely out of his mind! I've got to take him down before this goes any further.''

Gray vs. Thunder Legion rematch?

I LOVE JEALOUS JUVIA! // ''Has she touched him with the bare skin of her feet?''

nice logic Fried: turning into a demon when you're going against a devil slayer?

is this the same Thunder Legion that kicked ass during the Battle of Fairy Tail arc? welp, they pretty much all got their asses handed to them by Gray lmao

the whole ''stop it, he's already dead'' meme but Fairy Tail edition

they way Gray used Evergreen's and Bickslow's powers to beat them was really hilarious and smart!

aww, I love how Gajeel didn't want to lose yet another battle to Natsu and how upset he was over the fact that Levy joined the battle despite being pregnant; I also can't believe Natsu aimed for LEVY'S STOMACH, but as much as he can be dumb as fuck sometimes, I'm so glad he was hesitant about attacking her in the end

''Because no matter what happens, you are my number one.'' 🖤🧡

sillies🫶🏻

J: ''I almost forgot how strong you are.'' E: ''Stop, you're too close!'' J: ''I'm just trying to get a better look. Who could blame me?''

goofy goobers

sillies #2 🫶🏻

''Woah, looks like I'm interrupting something.'' // WELL LAXUS, YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE

EVEN THOUGH HE'S BRAINWASHED BY THE WHITE MAGE, JELLAL STILL DOESN'T WANT TO HURT ERZA AND WANTS TO PROTECT HER😭

Wraith's one hell of a weird dude, idc

As much as I really looked forward to all the Jerza moments getting dubbed, this episode wasn't the best one to watch, mostly because of Jellal's VA change (I hope to gods this is just temporary, because no one can do Jellal's voice like Robert McCollum, period).

THE DEFENDER

Ney’ite Sully is a sweet, kind, caring thing like her twin brother neteyam. Her and neteyam have this bond that nobody can describe or understand.

Ney’ite Pov:

I just got back home from my friend Lawe helping him with some documents, I was exhausted and drained from all the paperwork I was doing.

When I got back home, I thought my sibling were going to be asleep because it was way passed eclipse, so I also knew my parents were going to be upset for not getting home at the right time.

I walked inside seeing my dad pasting back and forth and my mom cutting fruit angrily while my sibling siting in the corner looking scared.

“Where were you” my dad said while I walked inside the hunt. “At Lawes” I said tiredly and looking down. “You know I said I don't like that boy and you’re supposed to be back before eclipse” my dad said angrily. “I know but I had to  help him finish paper work so he didn't have to do it tomorr-“I said being cut off by my mother. “We DON’T care about him Ney’ite” said my mom, -“you were supposed to be back before eclipse, it’s pitch black outside and you didn’t come home at the right time” my mother said almost waking up the whole clan.

I had tears in my eyes but I hold them back the best I could so I wouldn’t cry Infront of my family.

“I’m sorry” I said

“Just go” my father said making me feel useless and unworthy

So with that I left to go to bed while my sibling were still worried about me.

Neteyam Pov:

My twin sister hasn’t come back yet, and I am worried, I can see the rest of my family is also worried especially my parents.

When Ney’ite came home she looked exhausted. But my parents started to yell at her which made me kind of sad as well.

When they told her to go, I felt useless and unworthy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT MORNING

Ney’ite Pov:

I woke a little late because of all the work I did, but my father woke me up telling me I had training

I was also trying to doge Lawe because I didn't want my parents upset 

I got up and did my training which took 2 hours, so I was mad tired

I left the training center and went to see my siblings because I didn’t talk to them yesterday. So, I’m walking towards my house where my parents and sibling are.

My sibling is outside of the hunt while my parents are inside.

“BOO” I said scaring my siblings

“AHHHHHH” all my sibling said, my parents looking towards us and I’m laughing my ass off

“Bro why would you do that” lo’ok said almost dead

“Because I wanted to” about to sit down next to kiri and Neteyam who smacked my head

“OWWW” I said

“That’s what you get” they said then we all started to talk about our days and played games until our parent had called us.

“KIDS” my dad said

We all got up to go inside our hunt to see what our parents wanted.

“Yes” we all said

“It’s time for dinner, go wash your hand” my mother said making our food

So, with that we went to got wash our hand and lo’ak was taking forever

“Hurry up asshole” I said

“language” my dad said strictly making me almost pee on myself

“You see, dad how rude she treats me” lo’ak said making me and the rest of my sibling chuckle.

“Yeah, yeah” my dad said not trying to laugh.

We all sat down and ate our food.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT DAY

Ney’ite Pov:

I woke up knowing today was the day me, my mom and dad, and brothers must get weapons off the train. 

Still trying to dodge Lawe 

I got up and went towards my ikran that was near lo’ak and neteyam

“Wassup motherfuckers” I said

“Wassup asshole” said lo’ok “” Hey” said neteyam

“Ya’ll ready” I asked them “Yea” said both while my parents coming toward us

“You guys ready” my dad said “Yes sir” me and my brother said

“You guys are going to spot and that’s all, don’t go on ground” my dad said

“Okay” me and my brother said

“Alright let’s go” My dad said giving us a comfort look

Our mom came up to us giving us a kiss on the forehead and told us to be safe.

TIME PASSED AT THE TRAIN INTERVENTION:

Ney’ite was looking around to make sure everything was okay

She shot a bow toward a plane that was going her mother’s way

“Good job baby girl,” said her dad

“Thanks” she said

Now she was going to see if she can look for her brothers, which she couldn’t find

So, she calls her dad who is looking and making sure everyone is okay

“Sir I can’t find Lo’ak and Neteyam” she said

“Okay just stay up there I will find them” Said her dad “Alright’’ Ney’ite said

Knowing damn well she wasn’t going to listen to her dad, so she went to the ground look for her brothers which she found

“YO” she said screaming at her brothers

“What are yall doing down here, were supposed to be spotters” she said looking at her brothers

“And why do you have a gun in your hand you don’t know how to use it” she said

“That what I said” Her twin brother said

BEEP

BEEP

“There’s are ship coming north move NOW” said one of the na’vis

Ney’ite grabs her brothers pulling them to safety but out of nowhere she being to fly and hit the ground.

Jake POV:

I got a call from my daughter saying she couldn’t find her brothers, so I told her to stay in the sky knowing damn well she wasn’t going to listen.

I was watching on the ground trying to find my two badass sons, which I found so I kept an eye on them to make sure they were safe.

A couple seconds later I seen my daughter yelling at her brothers and trying to pull them away, but another aircraft came, and I never been more scared for my life.

I ran to find my children, but I only found my youngest sun lo’ak

“Are you okay” I said turning my son over to check him “Where are your siblings” I said,

He didn’t answer “Where are your sibling’s boy” I said getting a little angrier, he pointed to the direction, and I went looking for my twins

“Neteyam are you okay” I said while checking him “What were you thinking boy” “Sorry sir” he said while I put him on my shoulder lifting him up and went to lo’ak

“Get out of here” I said to my sons while going back to look for my daughter

“NEY’ITE” I yelled but didn’t hear anything

“NEY’ITE” I yelled again, and I heard her      

“PAPA HELP” she yelled making me panic

That’s when I saw her underneath concrete

“It’s okay baby girl I’m going to get you out, stay clam for me okay” I said hoping she will stay clam “okay” I heard her say

Then I lifted the concrete, which was pretty easy, and lifted her in my arms

“It’s okay baby girl” I said making her clam down “It’s okay” I said one last time, and then lifted her up to but her on my Ikran.

BEST of BL's in 2023 [Thai edition]

(more accurately my favourites from 2023, so that i have something to show for the 100s of hours i spent watching them lmao)

I Feel You Linger In The Air - Head & Shoulders above (almost) every single piece of queer media i've ever watched. Khun Yai and Jom will be forever icons. That drunk poem confession will NEVER be topped. Also LESBIANS AHHHHHH also the way the show explored intimacy AHHH just end meeee

2. Moonlight Chicken - Aof strikes again. Gave me Uncle Jim, Heart, Li Ming and my baby boy Gaipa- the music, the cinematography, the writing, the found fckin family - i will recommend it to EVERY one on the planet if i could.

3. Be My Favourite- I did not expect to enjoy this show as much as i did. I loved what they were tryna say. I LOVED the queer undertones in EVERYTHING. if not for the asexual erasure and Not being an absolute asshole this would have been quite the perfect show. And man is Gawin so darn sculpted perfection, LOOK AT THAT FACE, how to not admire!? Also Pearmai my beloved. AND THAT POEM in episode 11 ARGHHH

4. Bed Friend - I know this was a polarizing series in a lot of ways and I agree to some of the complaints raised BUTTTTTT NET MY FRENZ NET! How am i supposed to not melt into a complete puddle watching King pretend to not be absolutely in love with Uea, and treating him like the babygirl he is, when he looks like THAT. I'm but a mere mortal.

5. La Pluie - I kinda liked the show and disliked it in equal amounts. Saengtai annoyed me quite a LOT towards the end BUT his brother Sangtien - Suar Kritsanaphong had me in the palm of his hand. Him and his kiss with Lomfon is etched firmly in my brain. It HAD to be on this list.

6. Only Friends - Gawd. The Promise. The Promise of it all. Thats what maddens me THE MOST. There was just SO MUCH that they could have done. Even if they stuck with a lot of their similar choices i would have still put it higher up on the list if they hadn't undone all the good work they did in the final episode. I couldnt even bring myself to rewatch anything from this one cos of how disappointingly it ended. That being said - FirstKhao KILLED it as usual, i CANNOT wait for their next one, BOSTON deserved better and my MVP- Mark Pakin AHHH i NEED him on EVERY SHOW EVER but also in ways concerning to me GAWD WHAT A TALENT AND WHAT A FACE.

7. Laws of Attraction - Charn you guys. Charn and his utterly deranged expressions and his even more deranged ex. And ofc everything else the show offered. The drama. The mystery. The family. The romance. THE LESBIANS!!!!? Few things not to love. Especially the finale with all the domestic husbanding going on. Precious af.

8. Hidden Agenda - Far too much nonsensical plotlessness going on here for this to claim this position BUT i'm just a girl watching Joong swoon over his man and losing it in the corridor and proceeding to do that myself cos man he's so damn good in these kinda scenes. I think he'd be good in more serious ones too but I would much prefer it if it was with somebody who could offer more than Dunk (no shade he very cute himself)

POTENTIAL FAVS

The following is a list of shows i loved/liked it a LOT but still watching/running so I can't fully judge

(in no particular order except the first one cos who am i to put an aof show not at the top of any list)

Last Twilight [BEST THING EVER I AM WHOLLY AND IRRETRIEVABLY IN LOVE IM GONNA REWATCH IT LIKE ITS MY JOB PLS I NEED IT TO STICK THE LANDING SO BAD]

Love in Translation - episode 4 what a beauty, one of my fav episodes of any BL in 2023 ever- just LOVED the whole fake date thing - it was EVERYTHING

Wedding Plan - Leads are cute. Lesbians are cuter. Made me laugh. Also CUTENESS hello

Night Dream - Who doesn't love a long unrequited but actually totally requited love story?

The Sign - nothing i can ever say is gonna be enough to encompass just how mind-blowing this series is from concept to execution to CGI to costumes to the gorgeous leads with fckin electric chemistry AND the PINING and the will they won't they arhhhh- TOP TIER STUFF

Cooking Crush - i went into this with minimal expectations, the trailer didnt do much for me BUT oh my gawd i had SO MUCH FUN with each episode, i laughed SO much and i am very much looking forward to the rest of it

Cherry Magic - TayNew back again together. Karan and his gorgeous existence. Loved the og. The trope where one believes they are hard to love & someone who loves them like it’s breathing- its literally made for this show and i am SUPER excited where it goes. PLS PLS PLS let them keep the aroace character aroace PLEASE!?!?!?

[nerdalmighty]

hey, sorry for randomly sliding into your inbox but! i just wanted to tell you that i'm about to start act 3 of bg3, would've started it sooner but i didn't get to play for a couple weeks as i was waiting to be able to upgrade my hard drive. and over the course of playing i've ended up changing several details of my tav's backstory as well as really fleshing out their character and getting into the roleplay, and i'm so attached to them by now that i almost don't want to finish my playthrough lol. i'm thinking of starting a gale origin playthrough once i do finish just so i can see more of tara. and i noticed that you're close to finishing the game as well! can i ask how birdie's adventure is going?

AHHHHHH DON'T APOLOGIZE!!!!!! I love talking BG3 :)

I am INCREDIBLY close to finishing the game. Like, about to go to the Nether Brain for the final battle close.

I've been putting it off FOR WEEKS because I'm so incredibly attached to Birdie and the companions and their relationships to each other and I don't want it to end!!

Since last we spoke, Birdie and the gang had just done the Iron Throne mission (breaking people out of jail). She decided NOT to go confront the other Wave Servants; that chapter in her life has closed. I won't spoil more of Act 3 since you're just getting into it, but I did I think maybe three other Big Plot Things and now it's time to actually do the damn thing and beat the game.

I'm a little nervous about some of the endings I may have gotten for myself (I'm concerned I may have accidentally condemned Gale to godhood) and I know there are some things I missed, purely because it was my first playthrough and I didn't know any better (I didn't get to know Rolan, didn't save Minthara, didn't get the Githyanki egg, etc), but I'm honestly excited for the epilogue sequence. Is it mostly because of happy/soft Astarion? YES! I LOVE THAT GUY! SUE ME!

My roommate and I have been playing the game at pretty much the same pace this whole time, so I'm about to watch HER beat the game this Friday. She's playing as a Gloom Stalker Ranger named "Sevyn" (yes, like the number 😂) who's romancing Gale, but we've made relatively similar choices throughout the whole thing.

I'm not too worried about spoilers since I know a lot of the outcomes, I just don't know how it happens or what the final battle looks like. But like I explained in my previous Birdie post, I like to look things up beforehand/during certain events because I like having help. Similarly, I love watching my roommate play and learning from/with her so I don't feel as in the dark when it's my turn. Granted, I played a lot without her during Acts 1, 2 and 3, but since we're getting to the end, I've slowed WAY down and have let her go first with most big things. It's not for everyone, but it's how I like to play!

I'm so attached to Birdie and this save file that I'm thinking of creating an entirely new account on my PS5 just to start a new game so that I don't have to save over previous Birdie saves.

Like, what if in a new patch, they add a new scene to Astarion's plot line? A new action (hug/kiss)? New camp idle animations? I want to be able to go in with Birdie and do those things, should they ever come up. Yes I COULD romance Astarion again (and probably will because I'm a weak woman) but as you said about your Tav and I've been saying about mine, I'm really attached to Birdie and I'm invested in who she is and how she fits into the world of BG3.

ALSO! Apparently they're adding mods at some point to the PS5 version? It's been taking everything in me not to buy it on my computer just for some of the mods even though I LOATHE sitting at my desk for hours on end. If mods come into play, I'll definitely want to see what kind of fun things I can make happen for Birdie and the gang. Additionally, one of my friends told me that people modded Skyrim to the point where they were adding new plot points and quest lines? If that happens, and they add like some sort of masquerade ball or event where I can dress up like a princess? You bet you're ass I'm going back to Birdie to let her do that 😂 I'd want to play new paths with Birdie in general, but I'm a sucker for a royal ball sequence 🥸

So basically, Birdie's story in Baldur's Gate may be coming to an end fairly soon. I don't know exactly when yet, but I've been having a blast and can't wait to play the game again and again and again. Right now that's hard to imagine, but I know I'll pick it up with a new Tav eventually because it's such a good game and you can't help falling in love with the world and the writing and the characters. I shall grieve the loss of this particular story, but I plan on keeping Birdie around for as long as I can.

ho. ly. cow.

it's been a minute, huh??? well hi there, just a quick update from me, your friendly local scavenger animal hiding behind park trash cans: this holiday season sure can...holiday, amiright???

alas, i'm not going to be sharing any snippets in this one since i'm currently focusing on secret santa stuff and to share that would be, y'know, defeating the whole 'secret' part of things 🤫 but i'm really, really hoping to get back into some flash fiction during the final 2 weekends of december, so if you're lookin' for some sort of NYE drabble this year, now's the time to start cookin' those prompt ideas in your brain hehehe

but other than that, as i've been telling my dear, dear, extremely talented bud @unicornaffair (go read her stuff rn i promise you'll thank me), i'm hoping that 2024 will be the year where i can tie off a bunch of loose ends on my wip list. i am. desperate. to finish some of these, hahaha, so for the sake of accountability, i'm gonna throw my (ROUGH) writing plans for the year under a readmore. if you're interested for a sneak peek of what 2024 MIGHT bring, feel free to check it out!

as always, i hope you're all doing as well as you possibly can right now <3 the end of the year can be a tough time for a lot of reasons, so i'm doing my best to take my own advice and take it easy on myself. i hope you are too! <3

Projects I'm focusing on FINISHING:

-Until Dawn CREEPs: Of Mummy Men & Bathtub Soup (so close. so. so close.) -Dragon Age: The Tale(s) of the Champion (ooooh we're halfway there, ahhhhhh it's Hawke with the steel chair) -The Quarry/UD: Like Wringing Blood From a Stone (this one is. extremely fuckin ambitious, but what i've POSTED is ALMOST the halfway point of the story, and i have. a disgusting amount waiting to be posted so who fuckin knows. maybe.)

Projects I've been working on INSTEAD of my priorities and that I'm really hoping to be able to share but refuse to elaborate on because if i get too excited about them i'll forego the projects above:

-UD CREEPs: [Secret Title], a CREEPs fic from Ashley's pov - The fridge ghost returns -UD CREEPs: [Also a secret title], a CREEPs fic from Josh's pov - They JUST finished remodeling! -UD: If Found, Please Return - Sam writes Hannah a letter -UD/TQ: before the dawn, a bad moon rises - Emily Davis gets her hair sniffed -TQ: Fireside Tales - You kids really should've stayed in the lodge like Mr. H told you to -Little Hope: Storytelling 101 - Don't trust the guy running the souvenir shop in the burnt-down witch village. Please. Just don't do it.

Projects that remain up in the air under a flashing ?????? sign but definitely live in my wip folder and stare at me every time i go to write:

-Dragon Age: Well...Shit -UD: THE PIG FIC -UD: A very unexpected Valentine's Day -UD: Fuck No: The Movie: The Beginning -Dragon Age: As-of-yet-unnamed Hawke/Varric fic where they pretend to be married SPECIFICALLY to antagonize a marriage counselor -TQ: Firewatch AU -UD CREEPs: Dr. Hill and the Curator's very own fic, the fic <3
