Hey! Do you have any hawkahy fic recs?
:D first let me start by saying,
second, my biggest rec is always always always for you to just trawl around ao3 and tumblr on your own time and leave no stone unturned (or at least un-glanced-at). i'm happy to say i think there's enough stuff floating around out there where no one person's rec list is gonna cover every fic you might end up liking, so i encourage you to root around and see what hidden gems you stumble on. kudos, hits, and comments are not the be-all end-all indicator of fic quality, and there's really no way to tell if you'll like something without giving it a fair shake first.
now getting into the actual meat of it:
i can't possibly talk hawkahy fic without mentioning my wonderful friend @quordleona03 and her Sins & Virtues series, which has been ongoing since i was still in elementary school. the latest installment, All We Know, is currently holding the bronze medal for the longest mash fic on ao3 and is still being updated. if you like your fics long, angsty, and thoroughly researched, look no further than that series! she also has some unaffiliated/standalone hawkahy fics on her profile. quordle is also the archivist for the late Iolanthe, who is credited as the founding hawkahy fic writerâ more on that topic is written on her memorial ao3 profile and on the S&V series page linked above. famously, in 2004, around the time S&V was first being written, the onion described erotic hawkahy fanfic as being "the worst humanity has to offer", which could only have been referring to either (or both) of these two talented authors. via the iolanthe memorial account, quordle also runs a hawkahy fic collection on ao3 and accepts submissions for it, though you may need to poke her on her main account if there's an outstanding submission you think she missed that you'd like her to look at.
other fics i recommend (mind the ratings):
Hot Under the Collar
The Touch of Your Hand
i'm afraid to come home in the dark
saying grace over an empty table
You're The Tops
Reach Out, Touch Faith
This Must Be The Place
Pulse
and Shearing Season was a generous gift for yours truly!
as you can probably guess from that list: my tastes are equally fluffy and smutty. i like my porn with feelings, and my feelings with porn. hawkahy is a very sweet and emotionally fraught ship that simultaneously works great as a depraved pornographic freakfest. the best fics have both in equal measure! ^_^
i also write fic! you can find me on ao3 under the name RiskyBiznu. i've only posted 6 hawkahy fics so far, but generally they lean towards comedy and i think all of them are tagged as some variant of fluff.
lastly, i'd like to also say that i am very picky and also trying to keep this list brief, so for anyone else reading: please don't take it personally if your stuff isn't on my list! plus, anyone is free to reblog this with recs of their own, as well as a link to their own stuff, if they so wish. the more the merrier!

Hey! I love your work, and I think you get everything down to Alfieâs language to the fucking t! Itâs so fucking good when I can literally hear him in my head while Iâm reading! Sidenoteâplease donât cut my head off, because Iâm *genuinely* trying to understand. Iâve followed you for awhile and Iâve noticed you engaging in the discourse about readers and reblogs, likes, etc., so I thought maybe you would be a good person to try to help me understand why some writers seem to be so upset by some readers liking instead of reblogging. Again, Iâm not trying to attack anyone, I promise, but even as a writer myself, I struggle to grasp why it matters so much. Like, of course, comments and/or reblogs with comments make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! It makes my day hearing that someone has loved a thing Iâve put my time and effort into creating, but likes are called âlikesâ for a reasonâto let someone know you liked what they posted. In my head, getting them is another way for people to let me know they enjoyed what I put out. Iâm not saying that anyone is, but to me, it comes off a little entitled when people get upset at readers for not explicitly praising their work with comments and such. Yes, the site is free and weâre not getting paid to write fanfics, but nobody owes anyone anything. When I write a thing and post it, I donât feel like readers are then obligated to give me feedback because putting it online is a decision that *I* made. If they take the time to comment on it, thatâs fucking wonderful, but that doesnât mean that people who donât do that are in the wrong for using the like button as their way of telling writers âHey, I like this!â if theyâre uncomfortable interacting or donât have anything specific in mind to say. Iâve seen people talk about just copy/pasting a comment, but I donât get how having 100 comments that all say âI like this fic!â or whatever is any different than using the button thatâs meant to indicate âI like this fic!â. If somebodyâs going to say something about my work, I would rather it be because they genuinely wanted to comment, not because they feel obligated to do so. I really hope this doesnât come off as rude and Iâm so sorry if it does. Iâm just confused because both interactions mean the same thingâthe only difference is that some people are more comfortable sharing their thoughts in depth or socializing online. I donât know, it sorta feels like some are trying to police what other people do/donât do with their blogs when weâre all here for the same reasonâto fuck around and fuck our favorite characters. (Or daydream about it, unfortunately lmao)
Okay, I will try and explain it for you, nonie.
The reason why we are frustrated over the lack of reblogs is very simple, and if youâve been following me for a while Iâm surprised that you havenât noted the reason by now.
Essentially, it keeps the fandoms going. It spreads posts around, it gives them visibility since half the time, the tags donât work (itâs hit and miss at best!) and the algorithms on this site are virtually nonexistent, so having our work shared is a vitally helpful way for us to reach more people.
This isnât Instagram. The reblog button is there to be used as thatâs the very ethos of the tumblr experience; you see something that you enjoy, you like it, you share it. You seem to be forgetting that and solely focusing on commentary, but letâs get to that, shall we?
Youâre absolutely right, nobody is obligated to comment, but come on. Itâs a tiny exertion of effort to reward an author. Itâs interaction, it can help people feel like what they wrote is valued beyond the bare minimum. Itâs a tiny expression of gratitude in a world were fast consumption of âcontentâ is now the norm. It also helps people - new writers especially - feel like theyâre not shouting into a void. It all also ties in the the community of fandoms, which seems to be dying because of this quick consumption trend.
If you are fine with none of the above happening, with no sense of community in your respective fandom, with people not offering comments - or the more important reblogs - great! But people arenât wrong for wanting a little more from our audiences, especially when that little more takes seconds to participate in.
I hope that clears things up for you.

Weâre Burned For Better - Prologue
Aemond Targaryen x Aelora VelaryonÂ
Prologue
A/N - Please read the prologue, it is necessary in understanding elements of the rest of the story.
If you had read my Aemond imagine called Doomsday, you will recognize similarities in this fic, especially in the prologue. I promise, however, that besides this chapter, it will be much more expanded on and different from Doomsday. Major plot points will be changed, previously written scenes will be changed. So if you read something you recognize, donât skip it, and also try not to connect it to Doomsday. However, I will be reusing some elements that I think work really well.
Also, for anyone wondering, I most likely will make a part two to Doomsday, which will be up at some point on Tumblr and Ao3, all the same username. I will also continue to answer requests. My @ is in_my_feels_probably on Wattpad and Ao3, and in-my-feels probably on Tumblr.
Please, do not read my fic if you think any of the following will trigger you. I will include as many tags and trigger warnings as I can in the beginning, but this is your pre warning that this fic will deal with the following: mentions and allusions to sex, potential smut, swearing, depression and suicide, character death, miscarriage, trauma, toxic relationships, Targaryen incest, violence, and gore.
At the beginning of hard chapters, Iâll include any warnings I can at the top in an authorâs note. Please, let me know if I missed any triggers. If youâd rather read something shorter and a little more lighthearted, but with familiar plotlines, read Doomsday.
If I have nothing too important to say, the author's notes will be at the bottom of the chapters.
I am asking that you donât translate or upload my fic anywhere else without my permission, but if you mention it anywhere, let me know on Wattpad or Tumblr, Iâd love to see.
With that said, thatâs all I have left important to explain beforehand. I will try and update as regularly as I can. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, feel free to comment or message me and let me know. I really hope you enjoy it!
Now presentingâŠthe Prologue for Weâre Burned For Better

- The Great War -
My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
And maybe it was ego swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Tears on the letter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If we survived the Great War
You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Screaming from the crypt
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
So I justified it
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
The bombs were close and
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
The burning embers
I vowed not to fight anymore
If we survived the Great War
It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
That was the night I nearly lost you
I really thought I lost you
We can plant a memory garden
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
And we will never go back
To that bloodshed, crimson clover
The worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
We're burned for better
I vowed I would always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
I would always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
I vowed I would always be yours
â
Aelora Velaryonâs relationship with her family was most certainly an interesting one.
Being the sole daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen, she had many eyes on her. Especially because she was the only one of Rhaenyraâs eldest children that resembled her Motherâs looks. Rhaenyra did eventually have children with Daemon that got the Targaryen features, but for a time, Aelora was the only one.
Which was particularly odd, considering she was twins with Jacaerys, who looked nothing like her. Aelora did, however, have her Fatherâs eyes. She liked to think it was the one special thing that connected her to her true Father, Ser Harwin Strong, now that he was gone.
Many speculated that Aelora was a child from another, that Rhaneyra took in as her own. Others suspected that she was the only true child she had with Laenor Velaryon. There were even whispers of her being a reincarnation of past rulers, including Queen Rhaenys.
Aeloraâs parents never addressed the silly claims, only ever raising her as a Targaryen and a Velaryon. She was told to hold her head up high, just as her Mother did.
Growing up in Kingâs Landing, there wasnât much Aelora particularly enjoyed doing. The city wasnât to her taste. Her brothers and her uncles regularly trained, which she occasionally looked in on to fill the time, but she hardly ever joined herself.
Being Rhaenyraâs daughter, and the supposed daughter of Laenor, there was a certain expectation that she train alongside her brothers as well.
However, her family had lots to say about it, especially Aegon. To avoid the harassment, Ser Harwin offered to train her one on one. Ser Criston, biased towards her uncles, made training a very unpleasant experience, and Ser Harwin took it upon himself to make sure she received the same training as her brothers did. Aelora suspected her Mother had something to do with it, but Ser Harwin never made it seem like he was acting on her request. He was always kind to Aelora, which was one of the few perks to living in the capital.
Occasionally, Aemond would join in on training with Aelora. Her relationship growing up with Aemond was interesting, to say the least. One of the other few perks of living in the city. As children, they bonded over the fact that neither of them had dragons, despite both being given dragon eggs when they were born. They never hatched, which Aegon enjoyed taunting them both to no end about.
Aeloraâs brothers werenât as cruel, but they joked with her as well, as young boys tend to do. Jacaerys, her twin brother, often tried to console her about it. Sometimes, heâd let her fly with him on his dragon, Vermax, who seemed to sense how close she was with his rider.
As nice as Jace would try to be, he also lived to tease her, as any brother would.
âYouâll have a dragon one day,â he told her. âBesides, itâs only fair, Aelora. You got the silver hair. You're the spitting image of Mother.â
She scoffed, playfully rolling her eyes at him. âIâll trade you for a dragon.â
âThen who would keep Aemond company while the rest of us are out flying?â
Jaecerys was extremely protective of his sister. Despite her technically being the older one of the two, born minutes before him, he always treated her like a little sister. Sometimes, she had to remind him that that wasnât the case.
Jace could see the way Aemond looked at Aelora, and he was irritated, to put it mildly. He was as hard headed and stubborn as a dragon, and decided that humiliating Aemond in front of Aelora would persuade her to change her mind.
Aelora remembered the day her brothers and uncle decided it would be funny to tell Aemond they had found him a dragon, and instead brought a pig with parchment wings glued to its back out of the dragon pit. His Mother told him to forget his incessant obsession over having a dragon, but he just couldnât let it go.
Aelora found him that evening, stalking around in the courtyard, pouting. When he heard her approach, he sniffled and quickly wiped under his eyes, but he knew she had caught him crying. She told him there was no shame in it, and that he did not have to hide that part of himself to her.
She had sat down, patting the spot on the ground next to her. He relented, taking his place beside her. They sat in comfortable silence, something they often did together. Aemond was never a man of many words, but he was especially quiet in times like this.
âWe will have dragons one day, Aemond. I know it. It does no good to dwell on it now. Donât give them the satisfaction of seeing your tears. Tell me you know that.â
He turned to her, offering a small smile. âI know.â
He didnât really believe it himself, but somehow, he knew she was right. Aelora was  never able to lie to him, and so he knew she was only ever speaking the truth. And if she believed, he believed it too. Her faith was good enough for him.
Aemond was always good at comforting Aelora, too.
When she heard news of Ser Harwins death, she was nearly inconsolable. While she understood the rumors involving her family, and she knew in her heart that there was great potential for the man to be her Father, she publicly grieved anyway.
Aemond threatened to take the tongue of any man who teased her about it.
â
As Aelora got older, she saw less and less of Aemond. The night Lucerys took Aemondâs eye, defending his brother and Daemonâs daughters, she didnât exactly take his side. If there was one thing she was, it was loyal to her family. As much as she loved Aemond, she wouldnât take his side if she knew in her heart that he was wrong. She had told him how she thought him claiming Vhagar was unfair, and that it wasnât his right to do so. Still, that made it no easier to see him hurt, and permanently scarred. She knew it would leave him vulnerable to torment.
That night, Alicent attacked Aeloraâs own Mother.
An eye for an eye.
Aelora wasnât having it. Just as fierce and brave as her mother, she stood in front of Luke and Jace, trying her best to protect them. Rhaenyra took a knife for it, and it was the final blow that wedged its way into the middle of the family, dividing the two sides.
The Greens and the Blacks.
Alicent wouldnât allow her sons to be around Aeloraâs brothers for longer than absolutely necessary. By association, this included Aelora too. In her later years, she came to understand why Alicent did all that she did. She just wanted her family safe, and she did what she could with the cards she was dealt. But that didnât mean that Aelora was happy about it, and she spent what little time she had left in the city trying to make amends with Aemond.
Surprisingly, he wasnât that upset. The night he was hurt, she had snuck to see him. Aelora profusely apologized, swearing that she never meant for any of this to happen. He had stopped her, sounding much wiser than his age.
âI understand, Aelora. Theyâre your family. I would never ask you to give up your loyalty for me.â
If only he knew just how much she cared about him, and how she often worried that one day, she would be asked to give it up for him. She could never stomach the idea of truly letting him go.
At the time, she didnât know what to say. He was being suspiciously kind, especially after all Aelora said to his mother in her brother's defense.
âIt is a trade that I can bear, Aelora. An eye seems a small price for the largest dragon in the world. You were right in the end.â
âI really am sorry. I never meant for this to happen. Iâm grateful you understand,â she muttered, gently taking his hand in hers. She slightly grinned. âAnd of course I was right, I always am. Iâm happy for you. Truly. Maybe a bit jealous, but truly.â
â
The Blackâs returned to Dragonstone, wanting to avoid future conflicts.
Within a fortnight, once Aelora had settled back home, Daemon heard rumors of a rogue dragon, hidden away off the coast of Dragonstone. Her description matched that of Meraxes, a dragon thought to be dead. The last to claim her was Queen Rhaenys, sister and wife of Aegon the Conqueror.
Meraxes was said to be even bigger than Vhagar, only second to Balerion, who had died years before. If it was true, and Meraxes really was alive, the Blacks had a chance to claim the biggest dragon in the world.
With all of her brothers having already claimed a dragon, and her still without one, Daemon decided she would be Aeloraâs to claim, if she chose her.
Aelora was shocked when he told her, but she went with him willingly to the cave Meraxes supposedly dwelled in. She rode on the back of Caraxes, fighting the pit in her stomach as her feet left the ground. She had been on dragonback before, but to know the next time sheâd mount a dragon that may be her own, it had her frazzled.
âI believe itâs time you had a dragon of your own, donât you?â
âWhat if she doesnât choose me? What if she isnât even real?â
He shook his head, grinning at her. âSheâs real. And sheâll be yours. I can feel it.â
When Aelora made it to the cave, Daemon walked with her as far as he could go. He stopped at the entrance, handing her a torch.
âItâs up to you now. Do me a favor, come out of there unharmed. I couldnât handle your Motherâs wrath if I went and got her only daughter killed.â
âIâll be alright. You donât sound too worried, Kepa.â
Father.
He smiled, a genuine smile. âGo on.â
Once in the cave, it took Aelora a few minutes to get her bearings. She grew a little anxious, but swallowed her nerves, continuing on. She was going to do this for her family. She was going to do this for herself. Aelora let out a low hum, signaling anything inside of her presence. She walked for a little while longer, before she heard a low rumble, humming back to her.
Aelora turned the corner, and sure enough, there she was. Glowing gold eyes and silver scales. She was beautiful.
She sniffed the air, opening her mouth, a shrill roar coming from her throat. Heat filled the room as she widened her jaws, and Aelora could see the ball of fire at the back of her throat.
She held her hand out, calling out to her. âKesan gaomagon ao daor Ćdrikagon.â
I will do you no harm.
âNyke iderÄbagon ao, Merakses. Gaomagon ao iderÄbagon nyke?â
I choose you, Meraxes. Do you choose me?
Meraxes hummed, inching closer to Aelora. She held her breath as her snout came inches from her face, her teeth bared. She looked up into her eyes as she narrowed hers at her, staying still.
Aelora took a breath, closing her eyes. She held a hand out straight in front of her.
âIksi mÄre isse keskydoso. Lentor.â
We are one in the same. Family.
Aelora opened her eyes as she felt her nudge her snout into her palm, her breath hot on her hand. she smiled, excitement bubbling in her chest.
âGood girl, Meraxes.â
âIvestragÄ« Ä«lva jikagon Ć«ndegon ñuha kepa, Meraxes. RÈłbagon naejot nyke.â
Let us go see my Father, Meraxes. Listen to me.
She climbed up her back, settling with her legs wrapped at the base of her neck. Aelora leaned forward, gripping the spikes along her spine.
âWeâll have to fit you for a saddle and reigns, my girl. Obey, now. Jikagon.â
Go.
She stood, racing for the entrance of the cave. Aelora grinned wide as she felt the wind through her hair, laughing as she breached the entrance. Meraxes soared into the sky, looping around the tops of the trees.
Aelora saw Daemon on the ground, cheering.
âGet Caraxes, Daemon! Iâll fly the rest of the way on my own,â she shouted down.
Aelora soared off towards Dragonstone, knowing Daemon wasnât far behind. She couldnât hide her smile as she flew up through the clouds, holding tight to Meraxes. When she finally reached Dragonstone, she landed atop the hill. She climbed down, walking around to face Meraxes.
âJikagon, ñuha riña. SĆvegon. Ao gÄ«migon skori naejot mÄzigon arlÄ« naejot nyke.â
Go, my girl. Fly. You know when to come back to me.
Aelora ran a hand along her cheek before stepping back, and Meraxes took off into the clouds. She waited for Daemon to return at the edge of the castle, and grinned as she saw him and Caraxes break through the clouds. He quickly dismounted, letting Caraxes go, before rushing over to her.
âMy girl,â he said, pulling Aelora into a hug. âI knew sheâd choose you.â
She smiled, hugging him back. âSheâs incredible. I canât believe it. Thank you for taking me.â
âNo child of mine will be without a dragon. Come, let's show your Mother I brought you back in one piece.â
â
In the following years, Aelora spent most of her time with her family on Dragonstone.
After the disaster that was Alicent slicing Rhaenyraâs arm, Rhaenyra decided it was best they go back to Dragonstone. With Meraxes, Aelora would fly and visit Kingâs Landing, at least when her Mother gave her permission. But other than that, she didnât see the city much.
Sometimes, Aemond would write letters to her. It warmed her heart to know he still thought of her. He had matured immensely since she left. Aelora heard tales of him, of the mysterious young Prince, rider of Vhagar, distinguished swordsman. It amused her to think of him in that light, when she could still remember beating him in duels as children and watching him complain to Ser Criston.
After the birth of Viserys, Rhaenyraâs youngest, she sent Aelora to Kingâs Landing to stay for a while. Rhaenyra understood how much Aelora missed her life there, despite never liking the city. She also understood that the family was walking on fragile grounds, the glass bound to shatter if something wasnât done to ease the tension. Aelora seemed like the best option to send, and she at least would have some company in the city.
Aemond was there, Aeloraâs best friend in the whole seven kingdoms. And Helaena, who Aelora spent most of her time with. She got along with Alicent, who immediately took her in and treated her like a daughter. Even Aegon, in his later years, also took a liking to Aelora, having a genuine respect for her. Reluctantly, she indulged him, hoping it would change him for the better.
While Aelora always had someone in her company in Kingâs Landing, she dearly missed her home. She had been in Kingâs Landing for months now, and missed the castle back home, as well as the sea, and her brothers. She missed her flights with Daemon, connecting with her Father in one of the easiest ways she knew how.
But most of all, Aelora missed her Mother, the one person in the world she could not bear to be without.
When Aelora received news of her Mother being with child again, she couldnât bear to be away from her any longer.
Every few weeks, Aelora would fly to Dragonstone on Meraxes, spending a week at a time at home. Her family cherished this time with her. When the ache in her heart from missing her family would subside, sheâd know it was time to return to Kingâs Landing again.
When Aeloraâs grandsire, King Viserys, was said to be very ill, her Mother decided it was finally time to return to King's Landing.
It was good timing, since Rhaenyra would have the opportunity to introduce her youngest children to her Father, as well as inform him of the marriage pact between Aeloraâs brothers and Daemonâs daughters. It was also an opportunity to challenge Vaemond for Driftmark, which Aeloraâs Mother believed to be rightfully Lucerysâs. Rhaenys had a soft spot for Aelora, and a respect for Rhaenyra, and her family knew she would eventually back them all and vouch for them to the King.
When Aelora heard her familyâs arrival was imminent, she began counting the days until she was back in their arms again.
â
A/N - I hope you enjoyed the prologue, let me know what you think!

Reintroduction
So I took sort of an extended break from all social media for a while after RL was getting to be too stressful for me. I was still checking in here and there periodically but for the most part I wasn't here or anywhere else. It was for my own health. And coming back now feels like,
With all the crap that's been happening here on tumblr it's kind of sad but understandable to come back and see so many of the people I knew and interacted with regularly are no longer here. And I'm going to miss them a lot. I don't think anyone who had been with me from the beginning is still here. But that isn't to say I don't still see a handful of my mutuals still here and it's great to see you all. Hi everyone! Thanks for still existing!
But that said, I feel like maybe it's time to start over and rebuild. And I don't mean start over as in somewhere else... More like, reintroduce myself as I go about rebuilding my online presence. So let's start with that. A reintroduction.
My name is Helen Arlet. (Although my full title is, Her Grace The Reverend Dr. Helen Arlet, Duke of Merania, PhD. Yes... It's all legal... I have a title of nobility, a doctorate in metaphysics, and an ordination.) I'm an AMAB Demigirl so my pronouns are she/they. I'm a Gray Asexual. I'm also a self-published author of adult literature most popular within the Furry and Vore communities. You can find some of my books for sale on Amazon but my free content (which actually makes up the bulk of my work at this point) can be found on my eka's account, here...
I'm a furry myself, with my primary fursona being that of a T-Rex, although I do have sort of a "secret sona" that may come to light at some point... Because I often stay very in character when I post I have been mistaken as otherkin before, but so as not to give that community a bad name, I would like to point out that I am not... as far as I know... I am however quite friendly with the otherkin community and love chatting or hanging out with them when I can.
I'm also an old-school punk with very left leaning ideals. I'm... not young... I mean, come on, I'm literally a dinosaur... T-Rex... Rawr! But I'm stuck in that weird area where my status as a gray muzzle in the Furry community is debatable. I have been on tumblr since the beginning though and they still haven't managed to get rid of me. But I am old enough to have actually been a punk in the 80s. A very young one at the time, but I was... and still am...
I had been a librarian for the last decade, but recently lost that job about a year and a half ago when my old boss retired and was replaced by a narcissistic sociopath. And I don't use those terms lightly. I do mean that in the clinical sense... She fired me along with anyone else who was perceived to be a threat to her position, had been there longer than her, knew more than her, was queer, was disabled, or she believed had insulted her in some way. I now work at a used video game store. I won't name it, but it's the second biggest chain of used video game stores behind Game Stop.
And in most recent developments, I now own a partial fursuit, (of my secret sona) and I have finally managed to become a total affront to the church by achieving the status of Ordained Minister, making me one of the very few in my state who will actually perform LGBT+ weddings. Suck it.
Things I will post on this account:
Furry stuff
Vore related content
Dinosaurs
Sharks
LGBT+ stuff
Random reblogs of stuff I find funny or politically important
Posts related to my writing, including links to stories themselves
Answers to any questions I get asked
So please feel free to talk to me if you want. I'm always happy to talk. (Or silently stalk my account and just reblog things you like without ever saying anything to me. You could to that too...) Or even tag me in stuff you want me to see and I'll probably reblog it.

The walking dead x reader
AUTHORS NOTE: Hii this is my first official story on tumblr! So feel free to let me know how yâall feel about it! please DONâT steal my work! If you do you will have to talk with my lawyer which is me!!
Summary: Y/N finds her and her dog trapped in a mysterious house, while searching for sanctuary. And needs to find her way out before they find her.
Status: ongoing
Warnings: none really just a little bit of blood and killing, let me know if I missed any tho!!
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a girl, that girl was named Y/N who was currently walking through the city with her pet dog, Kane. She was looking for sanctuary, in abandoned houses, but also being careful Incase there was anyone home. She was scouting for canned food, water, anything she could get her hands on. She came upon a house and decided to look inside of it. She walked up to the house, taking her crossbow off her back and pointing it at the door.
Her dog knew better than to start barking, so It only growled quietly warning her if anything was in sight. She banged on the door to see if there was anyone inside the house, Kane started growling lightly, she slowly opened the door ready for anything standing in her way. A walker aka a zombie came tumbling down the stairs, she put her crossbow back on her back with a heavy sigh while walking into the house Kane followed behind her. She didnât like killing walkers since they were just people who didnât make it. She reached in her belt that contained a bunch of little things that sheâll need, and took out a long knife. She sent the knife through the walker's skull with one hit, her dog whining quietly walking into the house. The walker fell to the ground with a heavy thud. After the walker was dead Y/N grabbed the walker by the arms and dragged it outside down the porch while Kane was searching for anything he could get his paws on.
2 hours later
Y/N and Kane sit on the couch together eating in silence, during the 2 hours Rosalie had managed to find some canned beans and surprising dog food and 2 bottles of water. She poured water into a bowl for Kane and drank the other one. She had also patched up all the doors, the front and back, and closed all the doors in the house. Y/N decided to do something with her hair since it kept on getting in her face, so she put her curly brunette hair into a loose bun on the top of her head, while finally deciding to do something since she was quite bored. She got up from the couch and put the empty can of beans on the table. Kane looked up at her and slightly turned his head to the side.
âLetâs go do somethin babyâ her heavily southern accent coming out, Kane got up with excitement and followed her around like a lost puppy he is. She walked up the stairs and saw three doors, she looked down at Kane who was already looking at her innocently â which one boy?â she asked Kane. He got up from next to her and walked to the door to the far left side âalrightyâ she muttered, and walked toward the door she opened the door and was greeted with pink painted walls and pretty stuffed animals laid across the floor. She walked up to the little table that was damn near molded, what she didnât notice was the blood stains on the table next to an elephant stuffed animal. She looked across the table seeing many little things scattered around it, but the thing that mainly pulled her interest was a picture of a family. Y/N felt her whole body shiver, her breaths got heavy, she felt like she was gonna throw up, the picture contained a mom and dad with two kids, an older boy and younger girl. The only one not smiling in the picture was the dad, he looked miserable, she thought the flannel he was wearing looked familiar but she just brushed it off.
She put the picture on the table and saw a book on the floor. She walked towards it while Kane watched from afar. She sat on the floor, little did she know that something of the unexplainable was going to happen. The book, itâs called âSpeakâ sheâs never heard of before, she opened it only to see a piece of paper. She placed the book next to her and opened the paper.
â If you are reading this, Get out! Now! This house is unexplainable!!! Leave while you can!â
She brushed her eyebrows together in confusion, she put the paper in the back pocket and stood up, Kane started growling loudly, âWhatâs wrong boy?â she said he kept growling where she was standing. Frustrated and confused she stomped her foot on the ground lightly. Something creaked below her, â WHAT THE FU-â she fell through the ground. Landing on concrete, she landed on arm and head smacking into the ground. She passed out. Kane started barking trying to see if anything was wrong.
2 hours later
Y/N woke up with a pounding headache, she felt something dripping down her head she lifted her hand and whipped it away. She looked at her hand and saw it was crimson red. âShitâ she muttered her body was aching in pain from the 12 foot fall, she slowly got up from the ground and looked for any source of light. She went to her belt and pulled out a small flashlight, and tapped it a few times until it turned on. She flashed her light âwhat the hell manâ she said her face turned from confusion to unease what she saw she couldnât ever imagine. 2 dead bodyâs next to each other, a table of computers, a dead body on the table, she swallowed down the urge to throw up. She slowly walked up to the table with computers and many types of chemicals in bottles, she clicked the computer and it turned on it showed a little girl, and basic facts about her, one specific thing caught her eye, cause of death: disease?. âWeirdâ.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Lmkkk how yâall feel about this but I have Wattpad lmk is yâall want the user!! Part 2 will be out very soon.

Fic Rec List (A Tag Game!)
I was tagged by @iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid - Thank you!!
Rules: Post links (Ao3, ff.net, etc.); specify fandom/pairing/etc; donât answer the same fic twice - spread the appreciation; tag other people; you donât have to answer all the questions, but leave them in the list so the next person can answer if they want.
Fandoms mentioned are: Transformers, The Umbrella Academy, M*A*S*H, Over The Garden Wall, TMNT, Good Omens, Sherlock, Ducktales (2017)
(Iâm going to cheat a little and ignore the *this month* parts because weâre only 2 days into 2020!)
1. Favourite complete fic youâve read this month (multiple chapters/parts):
Transformers:Â Auf Nimmerwiedersehen by @morethanmeetstheass I love everything about this story (and series) and you know a fic is good when all you want to do is shake some brain cells into the characters *side eyes Blitzwing and Ratchet*. I often come back and reread this!
2. Favourite complete fic youâve read this month (one-shot):
The Umbrella Academy: little white lies by @in-tua-deep because I adore everything they write and this one made my entire week when it was published! Just...A* Five analysis! Brilliant writing!! Great pacing!!! I love all of it! Also Klaus deserves extra kudos for being The Best sibling to his complex gremlin of a brother
3. Favourite WIP youâve read this month:
The Umbrella Academy: If Thatâs Love by cylikkious Just...oof. So much oof. Major oof. Amazing character and relationship analysis between Five and Dolores and a take on them which you donât see all that often. Itâs simply *chefs kiss* Also drunk Five is always fun to read (and by fun I mean gut-wrenching!)
4. One fic/series youâve read which you keep coming back to again and again:
Sherlock: The Elephant In The Room by flawedamythyst This is the fist fic I ever bookmarked back in 2013 and it feels like it only gets better each time I revisit it. Super writing, great at capturing the characters, and a good mix of sweet, tender moments and pure, painful angst!
5. Most underrated fic youâve read this year:
M*A*S*H: The Very Model by the_aleator Yep, I cried when reading this. The pain. The angst. The tears. It just hits you right where it hurts and OW be prepared to be thinking about it for the rest of the day! Great writing and pacing as well!
6. Most underrated fic youâve read EVER:
Over The Garden Wall: Secret Santa by skimmingthesurface Basically all of their otgw fics are awesome, but this one? Amazing, spectacular, incredibly winter-y and Christmas-y and festive! I love how they write Greg, and his relationship with his brother as well as Sara and all of Wirtâs other friends.
7. Favourite whump/angst fic of the year:
The Umbrella Academy: And Then There Was Five by maremote Five and Klaus running a plant shop? Itâs more painful then youâd think! I love the way they write the brothers, and the brothersâ relationship with the plants, and all the pent up emotions Five has throughout. Another fic Iâve constantly come back to!
8. Favourite hurt/comfort fic of the year:
The Umbrella Academy: The Moons Laughs by @ladyorigami Me?? Crying constantly over this fic?? Nope, itâs just people cutting onions I donât know what youâre talking about. I certainly donât think about this fic every night, and how much Five needs a hug. Nope. Not me. Must be someone else.
9. Favourite fluff fic of the year:
Ducktales (2017): Peace and Quiet by DrummerGirl231 It wouldnât be a fluff fic without some feels, but Scrooge is the best in this and I love him with his tiny niece and nephew. I recommend all of DrummerGirlâs Ducktales fics, because theyâre excellently written and deserve to be swamped with kudos!
10. Favourite gen fic of the year:
TMNT: Hanging By A Turtle by @camsthisky Soft turtle bros? Check. Brotherly moments? Check. Hurt/comfort? Check. This fic has everything Iâd ever want! I love Donnieâs p.o.v. and the way the feels. just. keep. hitting. Itâs perfect, and Iâve read it so many times now that Iâve lost count!
11. Favourite smut fic of the year:
Nope, not my thing!
12. Favourite fix-it fic of the year/ever:
The Umbrella Academy: Contagious Hope by @tripleforte This will never not make me sad and the endingâs so bittersweet but thatâs exactly how I like my fics so Iâm actually happy through the tears! I love the alternative lives of the siblings, and how Five just?? Plonks down in the middle of all of it?? Like come on guys letâs become a family?? Perfect!
13. Favourite crack-fic fic of the year:
I searched around with the âtags to includeâ bar on my bookmarks and according to that no fics I bookmarked this year had that tag, so Iâll leave this one be
14. Favourite sick-fic this year:
The Umbrella Academy: Get Me Out Of My Head by UnrememberedSkies Poor Five suffers in this fic and I donât think Iâve ever wanted to hug a non-existent person more? Also give them some medicine. And a blanket. And a pillow. This fic deserves more love and I think itâs been pretty overlooked, so please check this one out because it 100% deserves it!
15. Favourite kid-fic this year:
The Umbrella Academy: Something Domestic by @gentlemenpaws Teeny, tiny, adorable Five being cared for by a Who-Let-Me-Care-For-An-Infant Klaus? Iâm in. Klausâ panic is so sweet and he just?? Wants to do his best?? And also has several heart attacks because of Fiveâs powers?? Poor guy. Iâve read this enough to know parts from memory!
16. Fic this year which you didnât expect to love as much as you do:Â
The Umbrella Academy: It Comes and Goes (In Waves) by hujwernoo Not to say I thought I wouldnât like it, but going into this I didnât realise how much I would adore this series. Itâs so amazing and I have to pace myself reading it otherwise I start skipping lines in an effort to read it all at once. if you havenât already checked it out, do!
17. Fic which convinced you to ship a pairing:
Guardians of the Galaxy: Blue on White by @bluesocksandfluff I honestly canât remember when about I boarded the Yondu/Kraglin train, but Iâm pretty sure it started with this fic! The hurt/comfort is A* and small Peter is everything, and Yondu is a grumpy grump to canât admit he has a heart and I love him for it! This is another fic Iâve read to the point of remembering lines!
18. Favourite AU youâve read this year:
The Umbrella Academy: the ballad of but first, coffee by deerie I was loving this fic anyway as I was reading it but what completely sold me was how they did Grace, and Fiveâs interactions with her. Just...Donât mind me, crying in the corner because FEELS HAPPENED. Also Klaus being part of a knitting group? 10/10 if it doesnât happen in season 2 Iâll riot
19. Longest fic/series youâve read this year:
Good Omens: Inverse Omens by @amuseoffyre This series is so sweet and sad and lovely and painful and heartwarming and goddamn it Aziraphale sort out your panicking boyfriend!! I look forward to every update, and I love all the little historical moments and tidbits of information! Also the author updates super fast and I need to know what writing deity they made a sacrifice to and if that deity will accept a can of Dr Pepper and Walkerâs crisps because thatâs all Iâve got
20. The last fic youâve read:
The Umbrella Academy: a life still permanent by @iguessyouregonnamissthepantyraid By complete coincidence I am halfway through rereading this fic and Iâm kicking myself for forgetting how goddamn good it is. I adore Claire and anyone who lays a finger on her head will face my wrath, and Allisonâs siblings being awesome aunts and uncles? Yeeeeeeessss!!
21. Wildcard fic you havenât mentioned but deserves a shout-out + why:
The Umbrella Academy: Beyond the Fire by DenDragon14Â Soft Luther? Five dealing with his trauma? A setting we havenât seen before with these characters? Klaus taking a picture he totally wonât use for blackmail later? Yep, this is my kind of fic! Itâs just SO. SOFT.
Tagging: As long as you want to, all the authors I mentioned!!
#thank you for tagging me!#and sorry it took a while for me to post this!#i really wish ao3 had a 'sort by kudos' option in your bookmarks#because i'm sure i missed fics on this#also if anyone knows any of the authors tumblrs which i missed please feel free to add#um how do i tag this#my post#tagged#fanfic recs#tua#tmnt#good omens#transformers#otgw#mash#mash 4077#m*a*s*h#fanfic#long post#sherlock#ducktales#ducktales 2017

header c @/piratanjo
Natasha met you post-Black Widow. She was helping out Yelena with freeing the Widowsâ when she came across you.
You were a teen at the time - but still brainwashed. Thankfully because of your age you hadnât been brainwashed into doing anything too bad yet, but you were almost finished with your training.
Something struck Natasha when she saw you. Looking back on it, she assumes it was the fact that like her and Yelena, you had been put into the Red Room at a young age, and you were the first teen they saw while on these various missions.
While she was okay with fighting the other Widowsâ, it was hard for Natasha to fight you. At the time, she brushed it off as not wanting to hurt a kid, but she knew that she was taking a liking to you.
Which was why, when Yelena managed to free you, and you told them that you had nowhere to go, Natasha felt the need to do something about it. Unlike the other Widowsâ who were adults, you couldnât go out into the world alone and, after talking with Yelena, Natasha decided to take you along with her.
It wasnât adoption per say, at least at first, but it was close enough.
You jumped at the opportunity to tag along with Natasha and while Yelena continued the Widowsâ mission, Natasha took you back to Melinaâs house., where you met Melina and Alexei.
You were wary around them at first, clinging to Natasha, but you warmed up.
However, it wasnât long before Natasha had to go on the run again. She offered you the chance to stay there with Melina and Alexei but you had grown very close to Natasha and wanted to come with her.
So, you did.
It was difficult, escaping authority and having to constantly be moving, but it in a way it strengthened yours and Natashaâs bond. You guys got closer and learned to work together â as fighting partners as well as mother/daughter.
Which was why, not having known your biological parents or where they were, the word âmomâ easily fell off her lips.
It happened when you guys were eating take-out in your latest house. Natasha had passed you the water pitcher and âthanks, momâ just came so naturally.
For a second, you didnât realize what you had said, until you looked up to see Natasha staring at you with wide eyes.
Then, it hit you. Holy shit my god. Had you just said that?? What just happened?
You got scared that Natasha would react badly, but it was the opposite. A huge grin broke out on her face and even happy tears of pure joy.
When you asked her what was going on, she said: âIâve never been a mother.â
Thatâs when you smiled and hugged her and you officially agreed on becoming mother and daughter.
Natasha was worried on being a mother at first, scared that she messed it up, but after reassurance from Melina via a phone call, she fell into the role naturally.
She became much more protective.
Not that you minded.
This went on until the Avengers called upon Natasha to fight Thanos.
She brought you along with her and the team was thoroughly stunned.
âwHO ArE yOU???â
âNATASHAAAAâ
Yeah, it was chaotic.
You werenât fazed though and quickly befriended Wanda and attempted to befriend Vision.
Steve and Sam also became like uncles.
Tony was a bit more difficult because you initially blamed him for you and Natasha on the run, so you were distant at first.
You were also kinda disappointed that Clint wasnât there. You had wanted to meet him (and Natasha wanted you to meet him) after the stories you heard.
Nonetheless, you went to Wakanda and thatâs where you met Bucky. It wasnât long before he became another uncle.
You absolutely loved fighting alongside Okoye and meeting Shuri. You were fascinated by her technology.
You also kicked ass on the battlefield.
But then . . . You lost.
You watched Bucky disappear and even though you hadnât known him for nearly as long as Natasha and Steve did, you still felt great pain.
Then you learned to that Sam and Wanda had gotten snapped and it got worse.
The days leading after were some of the most difficult days ever.
It was the first time you had to be strong for your mom, seeing as she had lost her friends too, and you panicked at first.
But you had been her daughter for awhile now and you knew what to do. You hugged Natasha and was there for her.
In the months coming, you helped the reminding heroes rebuild the world and you eventually joined the Avengers under your motherâs lead.
You also met Clint but it wasnât a happy meeting, really, since he had lost his family.
You continued on as an Avenger with Natasha by your side. You met Carol and she was like an aunt and was amazing.
Things started to turn on the bright side when one day Natasha walked in with a genuine smile and held papers.
You could only guess what they were for at first, but quickly was shown and freaked out (a happy freak out) after.
Adoption papers.
You jumped and yelled and screamed and cheered, unbelievably happy that this was becoming official official.
You were Natashaâs daughter.
While the past few years had been difficult, this made it all worth it. You didnât know where youâd be without Natasha and she was always with you.
Eventually, the team had a plan to defeat Thanos.
Which felt liked a miracle.
Natasha lives because I say so.
You and her got to tag-team Thanosâ enemies.
Literally the best team since Clint and Nat.
(Clint was jealous)
Then, you got everyone back!
You were SO happy to see Bucky, Sam, and Wanda again, and so was Natasha.
After you all reunited and the world went back to semi-normal, you and Natasha visited Yelena, Alexei, and Melina who were beyond happy to see you both.
Things started to turn up again and you were so grateful to have Nat at your side.
She was the best mom EVER.
Always looking out for you and protecting you
If any of the other Avengers made the slightest of snide comments, she was on them like a bloodhound
She always reminded you to hydrate and was always asking you how you were doing
It was hard to believe that she hadnât had any experience with children before
Well, she had, with Clintâs kids, but still
Speaking of Clintâs kids, they all looked to you like an older cousin
But getting back to Natasha
She insisted that only she would train with you, not trusting the team to not injure you (besides, she knew you best)
You loved training with Natasha too
She always made it fun, putting on music and stuff
It helped you had similar music tastes
She also would always gush to anyone but really Clint, Sam, or Bucky on how cute and adorable you were
And they definitely agreed
One time during movie night you fell asleep with your head on Natâs shoulder
She was so happy
Made Bucky take a picture
But she did feel a little bad because you must be tired
So she carried you to your room and put you to bed, kissing you goodnight
You had missed out on a childhood so it was nice for your mom to bring you to bed
All in all Natasha was the best thing to happen to you
Despite it being tough, you were thankful for every second of it

ik ur on hobi lockdown rn but when u get the chance can u recommend some married bts fics? except the marriage is kind of on the rocks but it works out in the end. lmao this is rlly specific but iâm just craving it
đ· LOL đ Since you're so nice that you noticed my Hobi Lockdown đ, here are fics I remember with the scenario you mentioned. A lot of these I have yet to re-read so details might be hazy (so if I remember it as a happy ending but it actually isn't, please forgive me đ). There are also recent fics that I haven't read yet so I probably missed a lot.
Marriage on the Rocks Type of FicsÂ
*updated - I just remembered some fics
Yoongi
I Feel You in my Heart @purpletaecup - ongoing series | divorce au. feat Jungkook | Angst ~ you can subscribe to the fic so youâre notified once thereâs an update đ„°
Divorce @xjamlessparkx - Â completed series [17/17] (read this long time ago but it has a happy ending...I think?)
Cut Me Open @hayjeon - two shot | Â married au (but falling apart), medical au, surgeon au (spin off of the Jungkook fic Cardiovascular Palpitations) | A, F, S (i included this in the coworker yoongi rec list too!)
Away From You @personasintro - ongoing series [16/?] | divorce au
After the Honeymoon Fades @onherwings - one shot | okay, so theyâre not really married but the way their relationship is written, feels like it is. Itâs also one of my favorite on-the-verge-of-breaking-up fics and actually the first fic I thought of when I saw your ask đ„° [author removed the fic on tumblr, added alt link]
Sticky Notes @threeletterslife - one shot | like LDR but they still live together (engaged) and they use sticky notes to communicate đą
Honeymoon Horrors @/jimlingss - drabble but this is perfect! itâs actually funny too! yet thereâs so much longing ugh. someone sent the author an ask what happened after the drabble so please read the follow-up imagine here
Jungkook
Jaded by chasinghorizons (ao3) - marriage tension ugh this is good and realistic. Also check Rain by nijoon
Second Chances @parkhabits - one shot | headed for divorce, estranged~ (I have to say itâs been so long since Iâve read this but I saw a note I made in 2018 with the ff. emojis: đđđđ„°đ„° - so it ended well đ
)
Taking Chances @neonlights92 - one shot | arranged marriage but OC wants to dissolve arrangement | smutty tones đ
Donât Leave Me + part 2 @kpopmademyday -  two-part drabble | arranged marriage x jerk jungkook ~ okay, Iâve read this a long time ago so I donât know if there are other drabbles. I just remember JKâs trying to make things work, thereâs a park, someone threw water, etc.
Wherever There is You @vinterjeon - Â one shot | marriage on the rocks | this is the first fic of the author Iâve read and then I binged on their ongoing fics after đ„°đ„°
Arranged Marriage @yeontantrash - one shot | gang au, arranged marriage but she keeps trying to leave him. fluffy ending đ„° |
Thinning Thread @flowerwrites06 - one shot | divorce au | A, S, F (thank you dear author for reuploading this =))
Heartbreak Anniversary @pbandjk - drabble | about to divorce | exes who has to share bed during daughterâs birthday (OCâs parents didnât know about the breakup)Â
Thereâs a Jungkook fic I remember where theyâre headed for divorce and OC went back in time to change the situation. Itâs unavailable but if it gets reposted Iâll update this đ.
Seokjin
Fall in Hatred @jimlingss - one shot | marriage auÂ
When the Sea Sleeps @taecalikook - one shot | starting to question their marriage which used to be âconvenientâ before
We Go to War by seraphicserendipity [AO3]Â - series [9/9] | socialites, PR stunt marriage (đ)

Most of my favorite Hoseok fics with this theme have been deleted or it didnât end well (angsty ending) - if anyone has Hoseok fics to recommend, please feel free to share đ„°
Jimin
The Arrangement @kpoptart216 - series 14/14 | arranged marriageÂ
Of course, Faded Love by jamaisjoons which I probably included in every fic rec list.Â
Thereâs another Jimin fic I canât remember the title of đ. Like theyâre in the middle of divorce proceedings because she thinks heâs cheating on her and Namjoon is OCâs lawyer. Itâs angsty then it turned smutty (help! if anyone knows this fic đ„) - UPDATE: I just remembered the fic. It's Gratuitous Redemption by minjoonalist but it's been deleted đ
Namjoon
Stitches @glassbangtan - one shot | got married earlyÂ
Mad Passion has similar themes, I think? Not on the verge of breaking up but they need to fix some issues in their marriage.
đ„° Â Please note that the fics are NOT mine. Please show these authors love by reblogging their fics, giving them feedback, and engaging in any positive interaction you can think of!Â

On Saint-Justâs Personality: An Introduction
Saint-Justâs personality is deeply misunderstood.
Saint-Just was a very secretive person, and guarded his personality behind walls. It might come off as surprising, considering how heâs usually depicted, but he actually was very introverted and reserved at the Convention, at the Committee of Public Safety, and during his missions in Alsace and in the North.
He was also a very sensitive person. He didnât take slights easily (neither did Robespierre). But unlike Robespierre, he was also extremely young and wanted to be taken seriously. He was building off from nothing. So he built his own âmythâ: the man (re)born with the Revolution. He made his youth his advantage: he hadnât been as corrupted as the others by the old ways. This is something that was used by other revolutionaries, for example Marc-Antoine Jullien, who was 19 years old in 1794. They would say their youth made them closer to ânatureâ â that is, the natural, uncorrupted state of humanity as defined by Enlightenment philosophy.
The Saint-Just people think they know via novels and movies doesnât really exist. I canât think of any fictional representation that accurately portrays him. How people think of Saint-Just is basically several different âfanonâ interpretations, some built by his enemies, some built by people who did appreciate him but didnât quite understand him â which didnât help much in the end.
This is important to point out because in the end these are the sources we have to learn who Saint-Just was as a person:
What those who knew him wrote about him (sometimes writing many decades later, which naturally impacts memory)
The little insight we can gleam from the few personal notes he left here and there in notebooks (and an unsent letter) that were never meant to be read by anyone
I know this seems obvious, but people often forget that historical figures are not fictional characters. They were real, living, breathing, human beings. They were people, and people have flaws and contradictions. People donât necessarily remain the same at 20 years old, at 25, at 30 and so forth. People change.
The Saint-Just who writes Organt before the Revolution isnât the Saint-Just who writes LâEsprit de la RĂ©volution et de la Constitution de France in 1790 and isnât the Saint-Just who gets elected deputy to the Convention in 1792. The Saint-Just who writes an unsent letter to Villain dâAubigny (usually dated of July 20 1792, though itâs a topic of debate) is a Saint-Just no one was supposed to see. Same with most of his personal notes they built the Fragments des Institutions rĂ©publicaines with.
Most importantly of all, a person will appear different to different people in different contexts. Itâs a matter of perspective.
If you only take Desmoulinsâ and Hilary Mantelâs and Tanith Leeâs perspectives on Saint-Just, well, Iâm sorry to say, thatâs not Saint-Just. Thatâs a perspective of Saint-Just.
Moreover, Saint-Just has many faces, many images, many legends, some of which he created himself while he was alive.
Victor Hugo was influenced by the Romantic Historians of the French Revolution, Michelet and Lamartine specifically, and their descriptions of Saint-Just to create Enjolras.
This is how you can find this connection making it even through novels that donât like Saint-Just very much:
âHe has a mind of fire and a heart of ice.â
- Bertrand BarĂšre on Louis-Antoine Saint-Just
âIt is a thing unheard of that a man should be as cold as ice and as bold as fire.â Â Â Â Â Â Â
- Bossuet on Enjolras, in Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
â...Camille felt an instant aversion, as to the touch of ice, which is what the young man most resembled. Chiseled from an ice floe.â
- Camille on Saint-Just, in Tanith Lee, The Gods Are Thirsty
Thus, even traces of this Saint-Just lives on in Tanith Lee's book.
Main testimonies
Most of them are here, in French, and some have been translated. If not, I will work on it. I will repost them on this tumblr as well, along with additional information about their author, their reliability, their personal biases, etc.
Sources by Saint-Justâs hand
While some revolutionaries have enough correspondence to fill entire volumes, Saint-Just comparatively left few letters behind. We do have one letter that gives incredible insight into his state of mind, but itâs important to remember this letter was never meant to be read by anyone. It was an unsent letter, found in his things after Thermidor, and then made public against his wishes, much like most of his personal notes. It is, however, an amazing letter nevertheless, but itâs important to keep this context in mind: he did not want you to see him like this.
Secondly, we have a lot of decrees he wrote during his missions. Though most donât say very much, they do give clues on his personality, on his attitude, on his perspective. In some cases, he would write a quick postscript to a letter written by Le Bas and addressed to Maximilien Robespierre. Interestingly, while Le Bas would use the âvousâ with Robespierre, and admitted to his wife Ălisabeth he felt closer to Augustin than to Maximilien, Saint-Just always uses the âtuâ. This isnât just a matter of revolutionary zeal â the whole âvous vs tuâ question during the Revolution is another, much more complicated story.
Finally, we have personal notes scattered through the manuscript that became known as the Fragments des Institutions rĂ©publicaines. Itâs a strange document to study and refer to. There is, indeed, a project he was working on concerning the Republican Institutions. There are at least two drafts. But the document has other things has well: from notes he later used in speeches (you can pinpoint the similarities) to a very short fictional romance between a man and a woman thatâs hard to interpret.
The document known as the Fragments des Institutions républicaines was made from random papers found on him when he was arrested, taken from his apartment, and in a notebook that BarÚre kept. Pages are missing. Some pages are obviously torn. This is the one place where he confided some of his deepest thoughts, which reveal a great deal of insight on the Revolution and on his role, as well as his mental state. It was written in the last months of his life, when he could feel what was coming.
Saint-Just wrote fiction: yes, thereâs the much maligned, very misunderstood Organt. In the same period, which is shortly before the Revolution, he also wrote a play called Arlequin DiogĂšne, a short story called La Raison Ă la Morne, and a very short epigram of 8 verses, Ăpigramme sur le comĂ©dien Dubois qui a jouĂ© dans Pierre le Cruel.
Most of these must be treated as any work of fiction regarding their author: separating fiction from the author is complicated. Is he referencing his own life? Is he even aware that he is? The context of their redaction, however, gives a lot of information and some insight on himself. One of these texts is extremely interesting in order to study his personality. Itâs a sort of foreword to Organt titled Dialogue entre M... D... et lâauteur du poĂ«me dâOrgant. The format almost resembles that of an interview. This is important as this is Saint-Just the Author, as he wants to be seen. The style is trenchant, concise, straight-to-the-point. Here Saint-Just the Author of 1789 meets Saint-Just the Representative of Year II.
(This post in an introduction to a series of several posts in the process of being written. Please be patient. If you want to know more, feel free to send me questions though! Iâll try to answer as well as I can.)

hi guys, itâs definitely been a whileâŠi guess i would say that iâm back but i am not too sure how active i will be and for how long. this post will serve as an announcement and an update regarding my blog and status on tumblr but if you feel that i missed anything or have questions, feel free to send me a message or an ask.Â
PAST
first off, i would like to apologize for leaving without official notice. i was extremely busy with school along with my extracurriculars and i kept telling myself that i would come back tomorrow, the day after that, and so on. at some point i stopped thinking about tumblr and forgot about it but every so often it came across my mind and i felt the urge to come online but i never did.Â
a large reason of why i didnât come back earlier was because i was scared. iâm still not too sure why iâm scared but i think itâs because i know so much has changed and iâm scared of seeing how many people have left or seeing how much my mutuals have grown in the time i was not here.
i am especially sorry to people who organized and/or hosted events and collabs that i was a part of and missed the deadline for. i do intend on releasing my works for them because i feel a sense of incompletion knowing that there are things i have left undone.
PRESENT
if anyone would like to fill me in on any events (url changes, mutuals leaving, my membership in networks, overall network changes, etc.) that occurred in my absence, it would be greatly appreciated.Â
i know i held roles of authority within both @nct-writers and @neosmutcollective and i would love to return to remain part of the staff team. if the head admins and staff team would like to have me back, i am more than willing to return, even if not to my previous positions.
aside from those two networks, i was also a member of a few other networks and will be sending an ask to the respective blogs to check on my membership with them since i do wish to continue being a member.
i will begin checking all of my messages both on here and discord throughout the next few days. please be patient with me but if there are certain things that you would like to bring to my immediate attention, feel free to do so.
i will also be responding to everything in my ask box and going as far back as possible in my notifications in case anyone has tagged me recently.Â
regarding my url and its relation to wayvâs lucas, i personally do not have a statement on his issue but in combination with that and this refresh to my blog, i think a name change would be fitting and it would help me get back into enjoying this site.Â
within the next day or so, i will be changing my url from lucas-wongs to yuta-nakamots which i think many of you will find a bit more fitting if you remember my undying love for yuta haha that much has not changed about me during my time away.
please be patient as i update my links once i change my url and also let me know if there are posts that i missed after i announce that i have finished updating links.Â
FUTUREÂ
i am currently in summer school and i do plan on remaining active until my fall semester starts in august. i do not know how active i will be but i definitely will not be as active as i once was since i have more responsibilities than i did back when i first started writing.
as i mentioned before, i will continue to write and post works, but works related to events and collabs will be given priority. i have kept notes on new ideas i would like to write during my time away from tumblr and i do hope to bring them to life on here.
if there are any of my mutuals remaining here that do not already have my social media and would like to stay in touch, let me know and i would love to find a way for us to stay connected outside of tumblr since i enjoyed so many of the friends i made here.Â
i would like to thank Liv @horanghoe for continuously supporting me ever since we first became partners in crime on tumblr. thank you for encouraging me to come back and making me feel welcomed and wanted in this community. you make tumblr feel like a hangout place for the two of us to exist together without a giant ocean between us and iâm so glad to have met you.Â

đđđđđ đđđđđđđ đđđđ đđđđđ : WRITTEN CHAPTER
‷ CHAPTER SUMMARY: convinced by eijiro to tell hawks how you truly feel, you decide to give him a call and let it all out.
authorâs note(s): ok so this chapter i thought would be hard to convey just over text so i decided to do it as both, however tumblr is poopy so the confession is split between part seventeen.five and part eighteen ! nonetheless please let me know how if you liked it turned out :(( ily !! ALSO IM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY
previous | part eighteen - keigo takami | next
word count: 1.2K.
with shaky breaths, your tongue darts out to wet the dry planes of your lipsâ nervous building up as the pressure your teeth use to sink into the swell of your bottom lip. you shouldnât be nervous. this is keigo, kei, the guy who sung songs about chicken wings and moved so fast his brain couldnât catch up with his words. the guy who held you tight in his arms while you shook with fear, who stared at you warmly to calm your nerves on set.
keigo takami was the guy youâd fallen head over heels for.
you shift from under the blankets, the sight of your phone screen lighting up pulling you from your flurry of thoughts. the darkness of your room is brightened by keigoâs contact photo flashing before your eyes.Â
it was a picture of him that youâd taken on a lunch date one dayâ his golden avian eyes that held nothing but the sun were focused on the delicious meal in front of him, a small, earth shattering smile painting his sweet lips. you could look at the photo for hours; but choose to answer the call before your mind can get away from you.
âkei,â his name falls easily from your tongue, tasting of familiarity and comfort, as if it were the only name you were made to say. you could never get tired of saying it, hearing it. âi missed you...â
keigo chuckles from over the line, the sweet melody reminding you of the songbirds that play their tune for you every morning. sinking into your oversized sweater, you suppress the urge to squeal like a school girl and roll over into your sheetsâ even the simplest things about him have you reeling from the other end of the phone. âmissed me? baby bird itâs only been a few hours since you last saw me,â his timbre voice fills the air in your room, resting in every inch and every cornerâ surrounding you as if he was right there with you. âwhat is it about me that you miss baby? is it my eyes? my voice? my touch? my...â
which each suggestion, his voice drops an octave, making your heart thump louder in your chest to the point that youâre afraid he might hear it. an embarrassed heat burns at the tips of your ears, flustered without him even being there with you. âkeigo takami,â you scold him gently, knowing that if he could see, the smile that spreads across your lips would betray you. âdonât you dare go making me flustered, iâm trying to tell you something important!â
âiâm all ears baby bird.â
he falls quiet, nothing but the sound of ruffling sheets and static between you. you know what you want to say, youâd practiced every word for hours with eiji over the phone before; but now that you were face to face or ratherâ voice to voiceâ you couldnât even think straight. your palms are sweating, heart rattling against your rib cage and now your throat is dry.Â
what can you say? what can you do? you donât want to leave him hanging but you donât know if you can form a proper sentence but it seems your mouth has a mind of its own; speaking before your thoughts can catch up with it.
âyn? baby?â
âkeigo takami, i think i have feelings for you.â
you smack a hand over your mouth, just hard enough to send you flying back into your bed sheets and pillows. you had a whole speech prepared, a confession that could win oscars if you really wanted it to but of course, youâd gone and messed that up too.Â
the silence that crackles in the air causes your mind to race with anxiety, how much of a fool youâd look if keigo didnât feel the same. after all, he was the hawks, a pro hero who was just as good as anyone out there. number two on the ranks and at the top of the game, he could have any girl, any guy, any person he desired. so why on earth would he choose you?
âyou think, or you know?â the pro whispers into his device and you could almost hear the smirk entangled with his very tone. heâs teasing you. hawks was always one for jokes and humour; one thing you loved about him was his ability to keep any situation light heartedâ but for a second you wished that he took the situation seriously. Â fumbling with your fingers, you debate on whether or not you should ask keigo to forget you ever said anything, you could deal with the repercussions after drowning yourself in minaâs ice cream later, but keigo seems to have other plans. âi like you too baby bird, i know i do.â he mumbles as if heâs gone shy, now heâs the one waiting anxiously for your response.
you release a breath you hadnât realised you were holding, clutching at your chest as fresh air fills your lungs. âthat makes two of us then,â you hum warmly, feeling your body warm up at the idea of your favourite pro liking you back.
but keigo doesnât stop there, itâs almost as if heâs gripping the phone tighterâ desperate to convince you that youâre everything that he needs. âi have for some time now yn, i donât know when or how it happened, but iâm glad it was you. your heart and your soul are kind, half of me doesnât want to taint it but the other half of me is a selfish bastard,â the hero youâve come to care for pauses, mulling over his next words in a way that has you sitting up to prepare yourself. âthat selfish side of me, that half of me needs you, wants to make you happy. thatâs if youâll let me, songbird...â
you find yourself nodding over the phone and it takes a second for you to realise that keigo canât see you. desperately you wipe at your eyes, cheeks stained with tears you hadnât noticed were falling and heart feeling more full than itâs ever been.Â
you feel set free, cut from the restraints of your past love for bakugouâ ready to make new ties with keigo.
âi want you too kei, more than anything.â
hawks lets out a contented sigh from his end, mumbling sweet words to you not long after. âthen you can bet your ass iâm taking you on a date as soon as weâre both free, iâm gonna show you how much i care about you. how much i desire you, baby bird.â
the rest of the night is spent full of giggles and blushes and teases, keigoâs words burning a smile into your cheeks. eventually, he sends you to bed with the promise of a kiss as soon as he sees you next, hanging up the phone shortly after.Â
plugging in your phone, you situate yourself amongst your pillows, ready to sleep with a smile on your faceâ when your phone lights up with a tweet notification from none other than the bird man himself.
âsleep well, my baby bird, dream of me.â
it reads and despite the likes and retweet that flood the poor tweet, you know keigo wrote it especially for you. adding it to your bookmarks, before sending one of your own and drifting off to sleep.
âgoodnight bird boy, see you in my dreams.â

Here's a quandary I've suddenly found myself in: where do you stand on writers deleting their own works, fanfiction or otherwise? I've had this happen to me on more than one occasion - I go to look for an old favorite and find it's since been deleted from whatever site I read it on.
On the one hand, I'm inclined to think that, "Sure. The author wrote it, it's their call. I don't own the work - I certainly didn't pay for it. It's their decision, even if it's disappointing."
But at the same time I can't help but consider the alternative - if I believe in death of the author (and I do), that an author's work fundamentally isn't solely theirs once it's been published, posted, etc., then it also seems wrong to have a work deleted. Stories aren't the sole property of their creator, after all.
But then I circle back. D'you think there are different obligations between authors and readers and the works being made in fandom space? I know if I had bought a book and the author decided they wanted it back, I would feel pretty comfortable telling them no, given I'd paid for it and whatnot. But that's a different world from fanfic and fandom space generally.
So. You're insightful Clyde, I'm curious as to what you'll have to say here (and to all y'all thinking about it, don't flame me. I haven't decided where I stand here yet - haven't heard a good nail-in-the-coffin argument for or against yet).
Val are you a mind reader now? Iâve been thinking about this exact conundrum the last few days!
(And yeah, as a general disclaimer: no flaming. Not allowed. Any asks of the sort will be deleted on sight and with great satisfaction.)
Honestly, Iâm not sure there is a ânail-in-the-coffin argumentâ for this, just becauseâas you lay outâthere are really good points for keeping works around and really good points for allowing authors to have control over their work, especially when fanworks have no payment/legal obligations attached. In mainstream entertainment, your stories reflect a collaborative effort (publisher, editor, cover artists, etc.) so even if it were possible to delete the physical books out of everyoneâs home and library (and we're ignoring the censorship angle for the moment), thatâs no longer solely the authorâs call, even if they have done the lionâs share of the creative work. Though fanworks can also, obviously, be collaborative, theyâre usually not collaborative in the same way (more âThis fic idea came about from discord conversations, a couple tumblr posts, and that one headcanon on redditâ) and they certainly donât have the same monetary, legal, and professional strings attached. I wrote this fic as a hobby in my free time. Donât I have the right to delete it like I also have the right to tear apart the blankets I knit?
Well yes⊠but also no? I personally view fanworks as akin to giftsâthe academic term for our communities is literally âgift economyââso if we view it like that, suddenly that discomfort with getting rid of works is more pronounced. If I not only knit a blanket, but then gift it to a friend, it would indeed feel outside of my rights to randomly knock on their door one day and go, âI actually decided I hate that? Please give it back so I can tear it to shreds, thanks :)â Thatâs so rude! And any real friend would try to talk me out of it, explaining both why they love the blanket and, even if itâs not technically the best in terms of craftsmanship, it holds significant emotional value to them. Save it for that reason alone, at least. Fanworks carry that same meaningââI donât care if itâs full of typos, super clichĂ©, and using some outdated, uncomfortable tropes. This story meant so much to me as a teenager and Iâll always love itââbut the difference in medium and relationships means itâs easier to ignore all that. Iâm not going up to someoneâs house and asking face-to-face to destroy something I gave them (which is awkward as hell. That alone deters us), Iâm just pressing a button on my computer. Iâm not asking this of a personal friend that is involved in my IRL experiences, Iâm (mostly) doing this to online peers I know little, if anything, about. Itâs easy to distance ourselves from both the impact of our creative work and the act of getting rid of it while online. On the flip-side though, itâs also easier to demean that work and forget that the author is a real person who put a lot of effort into this creation. If someone didnât like my knitted blanket I gave them as a gift, theyâre unlikely to tell me that. They recognize that itâs impolite and that the act of creating something for them is more important than the constructionâs craftsmanship. For fanworks though, with everyone spread around the world and using made up identities, people have fewer filters, happily tearing authors to shreds in the comments, sending anon hate, and the like. The fact that weâre both prefacing this conversation with, âPlease donât flameâ emphasizes that. So if I wrote a fic with some iffy tropes, âcringyâ dialogue, numerous typos, whatever and enough people decided to drag me for it⊠I donât know whether Iâd resist the urge to just delete the fic, hopefully ending those interactions. Thereâs a reason why weâre constantly reminding others to express when they enjoy someone elseâs work: the ratio of praise to criticism in fandom (or simply praise to seeming indifference because there was no public reaction at all), is horribly skewed.
So I personally canât blame anyone for deleting. Iâd like to hope that more people realize the importance of keeping fanworks around, that everything you put out there is loved by someone⊠but Iâm well aware that the reality is far more complicated. Itâs hard to keep that in mind. Itâs hard to keep something around that you personally no longer like. Harder still to keep up a work you might be harassed over, that someone IRL discovered, that youâre disgusted with because you didnât know better back then⊠there are lots of reasons why people delete and I ultimately canât fault them for that. I think the reasons why people delete stem more from problems in fandom culture at largeâtrolling, legal issues, lack of positive feedback, cancel culture, etc.âthan anything the author has or has not personally done, and since such work is meant to be a part of an enjoyable hobby⊠I canât rightly tell anyone to shoulder those problems, problems they canât solve themselves, just for the sake of mine or othersâ enjoyment. The reason Iâve been thinking about this lately is because I was discussing Attack on Titan and how much I dislike the source material now, resulting in a very uncomfortable relationship with the fics I wrote a few years back. Iâve personally decided to keep them up and thatâs largely because some have received fantastic feedback and Iâm aware of how it will hurt those still in the fandom if I take them down. So if a positive experience is the cornerstone of me keeping fics up, I can only assume that negative experiences would likewise been the cornerstone of taking them down. And if getting rid of that fic helps your mental health, or solves a bullying problem, or just makes you happier⊠that, to me, is always more important than the fic itself.
But, of course, itâs still devastating for everyone who loses the work, which is why my compromise-y answer is to embrace options like AO3âs phenomenal orphaning policy. Thatâs a fantastic middle ground between saving fanworks and allowing authors to distances themselves from them. Iâve also gotten a lot more proactive about saving the works I want to have around in the future. Regardless of whether we agree with deleting works or not, the reality is we do live in a world where it happens, so best to take action on our own to save what we want to keep around. Though I respect an authorâs right to delete, I also respect the readerâs right to maintain access to the work, once published, in whatever way they can. That's probably my real answer here: authors have their rights, but readers have their rights too, so if you decide to publish in the first place, be aware that these rights might, at some point, clash. I download all my favorite fics to Calibre and, when Iâm earning more money (lol) I hope to print and bind many for my personal library. Iâm also willing to re-share fic if others are looking for them, in order to celebrate the authorâs work even if they no longer want anything to do with it. Not fanfiction in this case, but one of my fondest memories was being really into Phantom of the Opera as a kid and wanting, oh so desperately, to read Susan Kayâs Phantom. Problem was, it was out of print at the time, not available at my library, and this was before the age of popping online and finding a used copy. For all intents and purposes, based on my personal situation, this was a case of a book just disappearing from the world. So when an old fandom mom on the message boards I frequented offered to type her copy up chapter by chapter and share it with me, you can only imagine how overjoyed I was. Idk what her own situation was that something like scanning wouldnât work, but the point is she spent months helping a fandom kid she barely knew simply because a story had resonated with her and she wanted to share it. That shit is powerful!
So if someone wants to deleteâif thatâs something they need right nowâI believe that is, ultimately, their decision⊠but please try your hardest to remember that the art you put out into the world is having an impact and people will absolutely miss it when itâs gone. Often to the point of doing everything they can to put it back out into the world even if you decide to take it out. Hold onto that feeling. The love you have for your favorite fic, fanart, meta, whatever it is? Someone else has that for your work too. I guarantee it.
So take things down as needed, but for the love of everything keep copies for yourself. You may very well want to give it back to the world someday.

hi! i canât believe iâm doing this, being cowardly and asking anonymously, which is so not like me, but iâm really not sure about the feedback iâll get from this ask so here goes. i really hope you donât take this the wrong way. i just donât know who else to ask and among the authors i see in tumblr youâre the one with all the headcanons and looks into their characterization and all huhu.
i just noticed that in the majority of angst(y) aus, sol (a) is always the one who is constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, prioritising her family over hwi/not considering him her family, or ends up pushing hwi away and then the relationship turns out badly, and by badly meaning it ends. i understand the first one since thatâs really been the case for the majority of what we get a glimpse of in her life. but i donât understand the others and i want to understand because so many people are writing it that way, and i interpret it as: they see something i donât. maybe there are things about her character that i canât or perceive differently or my 21 year old brain lacks the wisdom for that i miss how it progresses to that. but since iâm too shy to interact with anyone i donât have anyone to compare notes with, huhu. i donât really understand the others them because:
she basically said sheâll root for him in his uncleâs place which isnât something to be taken lightly, she knows the gravity of what she said and more than anyone else she knows what it feels like to have family leave you behind/alone and all (i hope u get what i mean here and that this is sufficient, itâll get even longer if i add more explaining)
she has high EQ, she basically hit all the right spots in the before they uploaded the video part (if it wasnât for assemblyman koâŠ) and this scene is also another example of number 3 where she ends up opening herself up to him again
she knows he understands her in a sense and has this certain level of trust towards him, it can be seen on how she told him about dan but not about anyone else, and even if hwi didnât show up at that time it can also be seen that she somehow opens up to him in the drinking water as if its booze scene. I guess i just observed that in the instances where she takes the first step and tries to push him away, she rather ends up opening herself up to him.
hwi also has high EQ or at least towards sol (lmao) and combined with his high IQ and the fact that he understands her contributes to number 3
and not all of these scenes can be considered as âworking out alright and happily and greatlyâ since there are challenges in them but somehow it never reaches to that degree :<
as i said i want to compare notes because i understand only a portion of where its based on. iâm not saying its ooc since there is a bedrock on where that could possibly come from, itâs just that i canât comprehend how its probable to reach up to that degree based on my understanding of their characters huhu. if it is a writerâs thing though perhaps itâs most likely why i donât understand since all iâve ever done my whole life is read and not really the type that writes. huhu.
iâm really not complaining or insulting or saying anything bad about or offending the fics, honestly huhu. i just want to learn more about her character and iâm bad at saying things not bluntly :< i tried my best :<
also, if youâre not comfortable with answering posting the answer publicly but still considering to or want to answer my question (iâve used tumblr for so long but donât know how asks work) if know a way to kinda hide the ask but answer it and say you want me to dm you about it, i can :<
hello anon! thank you for this analysis that while lengthy, does give me a bit of insight!
I think all your points are valid! about why sheâs the one that is the start of the angst, why she pushes him away and not the other way around! I completely get your meaning, and honestly i do see the things you are seeing too!
this is just my personal take on this and how iïżŒïżŒïżŒ view sol as being the âstartâ of angst, why arenât there fics on joon being the âstartâ of angst and all, so please do take this with a pinch of salt!
Iâve personally not written any headcanons/fics that are mainly angst centred yet, so I would have to draw on my understanding of sol and joonhwi as characters from law school.
for sol, sheâs a big emotional girl. you could see from the way she argues in class, with her friends, with how she reacts all the time. she rides on emotions and uses her heart a little more than her brain. like the bad fama case, she couldnât give up cause she was emotional about it. like you said, she has a high EQ!
a possible reason to the angst on her part is due to the emotions as well. being someone that follows her heart so closely, sheâs easily affected by the people around her and swayed easily. it would make a little more sense for the angst to derive from her, maybe from feeling that she lacks the love for joon. or maybe, a certain incident and she breaks it off.
one other reason is her upbringing. we know that she has biological father that is different from her stepfather. we also know that it is implied that her biological father is not present in her life, and her stepfather is abusive to her mother. as such, this must have been hard on her. imagine growing up in a family far from perfect, would one believe in love? many cases, some say no. they have never seen a healthy relationship before, much less seen one grow in their eyes from young till adulthood. this is the same for sol too. she didnât see a perfect family, she saw a broken family, no father figure and her mother who endured abuse. this ultimately might make sol think âwhy is there a need for love? will I end up like my parents? is joon going to leave me, like my biological father did?â itâs undeniable that she might have these thoughts in her mind. thus, itâs a more common catalyst of angst, in a breakup thinking sheâs not good enough, or sheâs not ready, or undeserving.
as such, most writers might maybe find it easier to draw on this aspect of sol as the angst starter. a short example of this would be in my ongoing âthe fairytale you never had (would you believe again?)â fic and in my oneshots âworthyâ !
however, I do wonder, âwhy isnât joonhwiïżŒïżŒ the one with angst? is sol the only messy one here?â quickly, I thought back to most of the scenes of joonhwi when he is troubled, confused or any sign of him showing emotions.
joonhwi can be an angst starter, but I think it drawn on less since itâs so hard to draw on. from the base line, we know heâs smart. we know heâs probably rich. we know his uncle is the closest person to him. we know his parents died. but all these are just facts, no emotions. in everything that joonhwi does, he does it out of compliance, law abiding, or of a moral code. very few instances does he act of emotions or show a raw side of him.
the only times we could see it would be when heâs confronting his uncle, or the moments with sol later on in the show. he rarely shows emotions, and itâs hard to understand him or his troubles when he doesnât show many emotions and we donât know enough about his life. we know he looks up to his uncle, but itâs impossible for him, an orphan, to not miss his parents or have his missing parents not play a role in his development.
thus, his angst would most probably derive from âcan i trust her, even after this?â, âis she lying, to cover up something?â, âis sol really the sol I believe in? or was it an entire lie?â his angst would come from one of trust and not from emotions.
i would really love to give a full analysis, but imïżŒ no good with this. you can always dm me on Twitter or tumblr and we can always have a chat on this! would love to draw from my fellow writer friends to pitch in on this too, since they are honestly better at the analysis. imïżŒ just a freeïżŒ writer!
thank you anon for you query! do dm me on tumblr/twitter (whichever is comfortable!) and we can discuss more! iâll keep your identity secret, no worries!

AO3 Celebration + Prompts
I am honestly floored, and humbled with gratitude, to share that as of today I have reached 50k hits? What, how?? I - cannot begin to describe how much this means to me and how grateful I am for each and every one of these! đđ»â€
As most writers will tell you, write for yourself first, but it has truly been humbling to read comments from readers who say they resonated with a fic, or a scene, or a character (or even better, felt seen). Plenty of my fics are just well, pwf haha, but in general I do try to also write stories/themes that I would have loved to read growing up, or heck just even now.
So I dived in and published my first one in August of last year, and uh, wrote a lot since then đ I've shared before, but my therapist pointed out once that I must have had a lot to say and found a way to say it, and I think she might be onto something đ
If you want to check out some of them, here's my author page, but really this post is about me wanting to give a thank you to you loves and this fandom in general. So, for one week, I'm opening up my ask box and welcoming prompt suggestions that I'll upload on AO3 over the next few weeks as I fill them (depending on how many I get, which for all I know might just be one haha). Once they're all done, I'll share a master post of them all on tumblr as well đ„ł
I've got several more things planned through the summer, so I'm not slowing down anytime soon haha ~ but it really does mean the world to me to reach this humbling milestone and I truly appreciate the love and encouragement đ Thank you from the bottom of my heart đđ»
