𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 "𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬" 𝐟𝐢𝐜/𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞...

no offense, but it's the same five songs (a.k.a. same plots/reader types) over and over again. like guys - WHERE'S THE CREATIVITY ?! THE FANTASY ?! THE IMAGINATION ?!

like hellooo, there's literally vampires, magic/hoodoo, and a million themes both hidden and not-so-hidden to work with. not to say i'm not loving what i'm seeing right now, don't get it twisted - I am, and y'all are good,,, but I just think we can do more and better😌🙏🏽.

hence why, I present...

a list of some wip's I got goin' for the future, along with my takes on why/how I came up with them😻 !!

but before I begin...

fair warning #1 - you're welcome to be inspired, but plz don't steal, i'm putting so much effort into these, my notes app hasn't been closed not once😭🙏🏽.

fair warning #2 - ikik, most of these are remmick, plz don't come for me✋🏽🥲✋🏽. I was trying to get them all out of my head before I forgot them, I love working with vampire characters, and finally, yes ofc I will be conjuring up some more for bo chow, plenty for stack and smoke, and some for sammie :). I am a multifandom account, after all, I be working on helllllaaaa other things and trying not to forget them all, so cut some slack <3.

fair warning #3 - I mentioned this in my last post, but all of my readers are black/black-coded. obnoxiously so. because, and stay mad about it, but this is for the niggas, strictly for the niggas, like I don't give a FUCK, okay? y'all can request whatever y'all want (within reason, because if I see something weird in my inbox, you're blockt), but when it comes down to prompts like these - where they're made up by me, original thoughts, not asked for, this is my blog and I can post what I want type shit - it always gave black!reader, like it's the norm over here, I shouldn't even have to say it lol.

anyways, onto my wip's /ᐠ^˕^マ !!...

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

okayokayokay, I know what I said earlier - "iT's tHe sAmE fIvE sOnGs🙉!!" - but listen... I have yet to see a vamp!reader fic where the reader being turned doesn't happen at the end, and it's vague, and doesn't explore that narrative further.

also, it's always intentional, which I get, yk, but I wanna switch it up, give y'all a taste of it being a complete accident and then further delve into the feelings, effects, experience of reader being turned. ofc, with remmick being there for assistance and emotional support in a rather "morbid-amused-lowkey unwanted by the reader, but they don't got much of a choice rn" sorta way lmfao.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

shoutout to the niggas workin' with brail rn, who's personal documents say "legally blind", who's prescription glasses are THICKKK asf...

I see you😌✊🏽.

was that outta pocket?

my fault, anyways...

my thought process behind this was very adhd, so before you attack me, hear me out lol.

vampires are so cool because one of their abilities is having their senses heightened to an almost unnatural degree - I want a reader who has that same ability, but I don't want them to be a vampire, just super skilled with their senses - how would a reader who's not a vampire have heightened senses? idk,,, what type of humans have heightened senses? - ...blind ppl (💀) have heightened senses cuz they can't see, so they have to rely on the other five to get by (because I believe in sixth senses lol)... crazy connetion, but it's true💀 - LOL imagine remmick and reader going sense for sense fr tho.

mr. I-live-for-the-hunt meets ms. i'm-not-the-one.

shit becomes a "don't breathe" remake rq (without the freaky-deaky stuff towards the end, unless y'all are into that, idk💀✋🏽-).

idk, I see a vibe here, it's getting written fs.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

I think it'd just be really funny to write about bo putting up with this silly, dramatic, type of reader. maybe a charlotte "lottie" la bouff type. spoiled but not rotten, definitely a character fr, and he entertains it because he loves it (won't admit it) and reader (admits and shows it).

reader is all pretty and pink and expressive and all her own, and honestly ?? she doesn't really have to go to visit his shop every single day, but she does because this little girl type crush just won't settle (won't admit it, but definitely shows it).

plus, HELLO, black wealth and excellence, idc if it's not fully accurate for the time, it's called fanfiction for a reason. get with it or get lost, let the girlies be drowned in privilege and in bo chow's love, attention, and care😻✨️🩷.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

vampires exist in this world.

you really think i'm not gonna entertain the possibility of other mythical creatures existing as well?

BOOOO LAME‼️

furthermore,,, you really think i'm not bold enough to apply that possibility to some sinners fanfic? did I not JUST talk about creativity??

oh, you not fuckin' with it???

BOOOOO LAAAAMMMEEE TOMATO TOMATO, I'M THROWING TOMATOES‼️🍊‼️🍊‼️.

anyways, I have nothing to explain this/myself more with other than this little sliver of dialogue, for fear of spoiling the fic idea I have in mind/am working on...

. . .

"Oh, honey..." You trailed, barely strangling back a laugh bubbling deep from within your chest, your voice lined with a sense of pity.

Knowingness.

Hardly any question when you asked, "...D'you really think you were the only monster lurkin' through these woods...?"

. . .

THAT'S IT, that's enough, that's all you're getting, teehee🤭🫵🏽.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

i'm a slut for whimsy (and size kinks), what can I say🤷🏽‍♀️?

also, I think I should HEAVILY lean into the "mischievous" aspects of how pixies/fairies are said to be - LOL just some lil' sparkly-winged, elf-eared, three-apples-tall ass creature/reader wreaking havoc on the kkk and others who do wrong, dirty, and evil, reader doing her best to uplift those who don't have her wings, who can't just fly away from the struggles happening all around, reader providing some fun and magic into little boy's and girl's lives, and-

oh, what's this?

reader spotting remmick absolutely devouring some poor soul who crossed his path and, well, they can't help but be interested and curious. maybe even mess with him a little bit.

cue remmick having to put up with reader's mystical magical nonsense, hating every second, but heaven forbid if something happens to the reader😌🥴✋🏽...

remmick x jaded!reader

lmfao ik that sounds wild, but lemme cook✋🏽🥴✋🏽...

reader who - doesn't not care - but it takes a lot to actually phase them/gain a physical reaction. and I mean a LOT.

also, like, they're a freak!! god forbid reader sees something they like, like🙀🙄... (throw back another shot after every like).

idk how i'm gonna pull this off, but I just think it'd be amusingly jarring for remmick to come across a reader who has no fears about his ass being a vampire, nor gives any fucks about his threats on turning them. they've seen and been under much worse circumstances...

"ain't no need for that, the last thing I wanna do is be stuck on this earth for another day😒✋🏽..."

"...I...wha-...y-"

"-if you play nice, though, i'll clean ya' up. you gettin' blood all over my laundry and I don't have time to redo the load."

cue unlikely friendship😻?

remmick is the semi-unruly puppy, and reader is the reluctant owner type beat, because you already know he's coming back, no way he's not😹.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

remmick x fiftiesera!reader

i'm feeling nice, so i'll go ahead and leak the title i'm gonna use😌...

. . .

" 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧' 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐀 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 "

. . .

to sum up what i've got in the oven...

religious themes/god complex/kink(?) - vampire turning ofc😌 - smut (have I mentioned that some of these prompts do include smut?? well, they do lmao) - do you have issues with your parents? reallllyy don't like them?? this fic will potentially heal some of that for you idk lol - the second out of two of my readers who are gonna be a little... naive... but it's fine, most of my readers so far have been pretty, "i'm not with that bullshit" types. we need ✨️balance✨️.

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

remmick x heavyflow!reader

I won't lie, I saw a tumblr post on here that fully inspired what I have in mind...

so thanks to them, everybody thank this user lol. all I plan on doing is fleshing out this prompt into a full blown imagine, like deadass.

remmick at your door every time he can smell the start of your cycle...

yes bruh, I used my last pic for a meme, god forbid I put humor over visual pleasure, like🙄✋🏽...

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

remmick x 2025era!/modern!reader

no idea what i'm gonna do with this, ngl, I just figured that if i'ma do a reader from the 50's, y'all would start screaming at me to do a modern reader, so🥴💀.

i'll take ideas/requests, tho :D !!

───────── 《 .°•♡•°. 》 ──────────

that's a wrap (for now) !!

again, i'm very aware (and not proud) of the fact it's mostly remmick, but like I said, there's plans for sammie, smoke, stack, and bo, so don't get on my case, I just need time to keep brainstorming before I explode lmfao💀😭.

anyways, stay tuned y'all, because these fics are all currently in the works and I will be honest, the more ppl confirm they're rocking with these prompts and looking forward to them, the more likely/confident i'll be with actually getting them done and done well :).

byeeee, i'll be back in another millenia😻‼️✨️.

one piece men + dick hcs | nsfw

im back w something that no one asked for but i thought i would do something different to get the creative juices flowing again (*°ｰ°)ﾉ

characters: monkey d. luffy, roronoa zoro, vinsmoke sanji, portgas d. ace, sabo, eustass kid, killer, trafalgar d. law

cw: virgin! loser! law, afab! reader, dick language idk

monkey d. luffy

tip hex code: #fe9796

luffy's dick is canonically the largest in the one piece world according to an sbs but if it wasn't being stretched i would say 5.4 inches at full erection normally. he is quite average and enjoys any attention u give to the base. he doesn't have any prominent veins running along his shaft and some might say it looks like a strange mushroom...

roronoa zoro

tip hex code: #e6998f

zoro is beefy and his cock definitely reflects that as well. he's larger than his captain coming in at 6.6 inches, but his true quality would be the girth. he has a wonderful vein running along the underside of him that u swear u can feel when he's inside u despite his bashfulness abt the topic. and yes, he also has a trail of mossy pubic hair surrounding his shaft.

vinesmoke sanji

tip hex code: #feabab

sanji comes in at 7.1 so ig he can thank his dad for something. he is slimmer than zoro and has a slight curve to his shaft, however it feels amazing whenever he fucks u in doggy position or over the counter in the kitchen. his tip is incredibly sensitive and he often avoids touching it himself when he jacks off but if u kiss it when u go down on him he'll almost cum immediately.

portgas d. ace

tip hex code: #ff9090

ace probably won the genetic lottery for parents. he was also blessed w a big dick coming in at 7.0 inches. he has two veins that run on either side of him and despite his leaner build he has a notable girth. he has dark happy trail that welcomes u into his shorts and a bush he will never shave. he likes when u play w his balls.

sabo

tip hex code: #ffc1c1

sabo has a very polite appearance, but his dick is everything but that. he's 6.8 inches and the slapping noise when his cock hits his abdomen tells u ur not going on any missions any time soon. similar to his little brother he doesn't have any prominent veins, but his shaft is well proportioned. he is also very well groomed and takes care of his patch of darker blond curls.

eustass kid

tip hex code: #edb7b0

big guy is going to have a big dick okay i don't make the rules. it's 7.5 inches and angry u almost wanna yell at it when he whips it out. it's veiny and girthy and it's begging to be sucked. i think he would also have some piercings such as a king albert's piercing and ofc it was diy.

killer

tip hex code: #ebada5

just like his captain it's huge and far more intimidating than anything else u've ever seen. killer is 7.2 so he's slightly smaller, and he doesn't have any piercings, but don't worry what he lacks in comparison to kid he makes up in passion. his shaft curves to the left which works wonderfully when he gets u on ur side w on ur legs hooked over his shoulder rubbing on ur g-spot.

trafalgar d. law

tip hex code: #e8a39a

as much as i want to give this loser a shrimp dick i'll probably see riots in my inbox and i saw this really funny panel from one piece party where the gang compares his dick to zunesha so he's probably hung. he clocks in at 6.9 but lies and tells u it's 7 inches. he's also always wearing the tightest skinny jeans known to man in the anime and u never see anything there so i'm gonna assume he's a grower not a shower.

[illusive-delusions]

okay but what do we make of princess and perlah's conversation in 1x10 about which doctors have hooked up? they're talking about how langdon is hot but trouble when princess asks (about him and collins) do you think they've ever had sex? to which perlah immediately replies ew, no way!

which is so so interesting to me. i mean, i agree with perlah, langdon gives collins' annoying kid brother to me, and the way they're bickering in the background of this very conversation underscores that vibe.

but the fact that princess is asking—even as a joke—is kinda telling, right? langdon and collins are both senior residents, so they've been working at the pitt for four years. langdon's son is also four years old, so langdon has presumably been married (or at least in a very serious, committed relationship) the entire time he's been at PTMC. and yet perlah's reaction to being asked if langdon and collins have ever hooked up isn't no, he's married! or what about abby? or of course not, we all know dr. langdon is husband of the year!

perlah's objection seems mostly to be that collins and langdon hooking up would be gross. like, of course they're not fucking, they're like siblings. notably, we can trust perlah's instincts here because her reaction to the question of whether collins and robby have ever had sex is a resounding definitely, which we know is true.

so what are we supposed to make of all this? i mean, it's a very funny gag to have princess and perlah gossip about the doctors right in front of them, and we see their private Tagalog discussions happen repeatedly throughout the season, both played for laughs and very seriously, like during the MCI.

but why bring up langdon hooking up with women who aren't his wife? and why not have his relationship status be the primary objection to the idea that he could be sleeping around? i don't know if the implication is really meant to be that langdon is a cheater, but i think it’s a noteworthy moment to consider when thinking about the strength of his marriage, and the way it’s perceived by those around him.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRE TADPOLE BHAALIST CHANGES 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

SKDHSKSK alright alright, get urself a cup of something hydrating, take a seat nd get comfortable.

Here's the short version; Orin and Helena are no true Bhaalspawn, Sarevok is alive by grace of the spell Reincarnate and not whatever the fuck BG3 was doing, the Murder Tribunal exists but it's rly just beefy Sarevok and cult members doing funny shit they didn't necessarily sign up for, Sarevok is the Realms greatest grudge holder and the "ruling body" of the temple, including Bhaal himself, are much, much more fucked up than just good old "heres a high priest/ess have fun". Also everyone here is running on spite, generational trauma, and a fuck ton of delusion (also a bit of nature vs nurture cuz hi hello it's me). And we're back to lawful evil cuz they massacred my boys and I chose to turn a blind eye.

As for the longer (no geniunely) story;

Let's start with a brief, somewhat comprehensive timeline to make sense of shit lmfao (trust me this will come in handy)

1331 Fines Creation 1331 Adoption 1345 Sarevok's Birth 1349 The Urge awakened for the first time 1350 Banishment to the Shadowfell 1350 Tamokos Birth 1358 Bhaals Death 1368 Tamoko's Death + Sarevok's departure in 69 1407 Sarevok's Death + Reincarnation 1434 Helena's Birth 1440 Fine's brief return to the Gate 1440 Calimport 1441 Sarevok returns with Helena 1444 Gortash's Birth 1461 Meeting Gortash in Calimport 1462 Return to the Cult 1462 Orins Birth 1467 Fine is anointed as cult leader 1467 Helena's attempt on Orin 1475 Meeting Gortash as Banite 1776 The Raids 1477 Murder Spree/Blood in Baldurs Gate (in support of Gort) 1480 A blossoming, toxic situationship 1482 Chosen 1483 Ketheric joins 1491 Bormul Incident 1492 BG3 happening

Now with that all out of the way, let's actually go and start at the beginning, namely the end of the original story. Its 1369, Bhaal, Tamoko, Irenicus, Amelyssan, the 5, etc. etc. are all dead, the Bhaalspawn crisis avoided, Gorion's Ward aka Abdel Adrian is the Hero of Baldur's Gate (......), now-normal-mortal Sarevok got a bit of Adrian's Soul nd dipped, yada yada we all know this story. Except I'm going with that particular Sarevok ending that mentions he leaves for Kara-Tur (specifically Kozakura) where he buries Tamokos body.

And this is where my bullshit begins; instead of simply going there to burry Tamoko he decides to stay. After all, he's very much infamous in Faerûn for no particularly great reasons and considering their own political issues, finding work as an experienced fighter and schemer in Kozakura was quite easy for him. So he did just that, lived there as a mercenary for a second or two, staying as long as his contract demanded but not a second longer and relishing in his newfound freedom. If all had gone according to plan, that is.

See, the Spellplague of 1385 affected all of Toril, and in Kozakura specifically it only amplified the already tense political situation, escalating into a full scale civil war, constantly fueled by the scheming and mingling of a Wu Jen Society. And boy oh boy did it trigger Irenicus former little toy when he saw some people trying to pull weird arcane bullshit again.

So rather than leaving Kozakura like many others, Sarevok stayed back, tried to be a good guy for once, ended up being allowed to join a local clan and just having the time of his life beating up a bunch of people for a better cause than his own had been. And then he fucking died lol. But not to worry, if any place has an abundance of spirit folk, yokai and other "nature if it was human" creatures, it is Kozakura. And if any place was in need of people capable of fighting, it was Kozakura as well. So good old Sarevok earned himself a new, now 100% confirmed Bhaal free body, alongside an extended lifespan.

Life simply continued this way for a while, and albeit the scars of the war were beginning to show in all aspects of life, it was still bearable and Sarevok felt good about being able to beat (one of) his traumas arse and protect something related to that true love of his that he fumbled harder than anyone else ever fumbled in all of history.

And then Helena was born. See, Sarevok may have kept mainly to himself, but even he couldn’t avoid the trap of a found family in the home he'd chosen for himself. So long story short, when shit got really fucking bad and everyone was considering "well we can't rly afford any more mouths to feed maybe we should close a few here or there" rather than stand by as he would've done once upon a time Sarevok decided to grow bhaals, snatch that kid of his friend doomed to be one of those closed mouths, and vanish once again. He was certain he could make it out of Kozakura and manage life somewhere else with or without a little bundle of shape-changing something after all, so that's exactly what he did.

He changed little bundles name and went along, back to his earlier days of just enjoying whatever he wanted (except now with a bit more responsibility in the shape of a lil kid), and just tried to raise this kid that had been unwanted by so many others, much like he himself once was.

But this is still my durgetash bullshit and the magnum opus of my insanity so 1440 hits and he catches wind of a funny rumor about a Bhaalspawn returning to his old turf. And as a survivor of Bhaals reign and the first iteration of the Bhaalspawn crisis, good old Sarevok was not having any of it. So he took that kid and went back to the home of his nightmares, like any reasonable guy who sought avoidance rather than therapy or accountability would. :)

Upon his return, however, he learned that those rumours were seemingly unfounded and the only known Bhaalspawn still roaming around in the vicinity of the Sword Coast was his good old half-brother Abdel Adrian. Who was, much unlike Sarevok, overjoyed to welcome back some family. Especially considering the fact he may or may not ended up receiving intel that Dad's old followers are back, if one is inclined to believe they've ever left that is. But eitherway, something is happening in this beautiful never-quiet coastal town and as the figure head of the opposition and kind of busy co leader of this cesspool that calls itself a city; "pretty pls Sarevok whom I've given a piece of my fucking soul how about you help out ur good old pal and brother here hmmm?"

To which Sarevok agreed. Less cuz of Adrian and more so because of the lingering effects of growing up the way Bhaalspawn tend to grow up. Besides he got fucked over beautifully by Bhaal and the temple and if he can get back at them even just the tiniest bit more that's absolutely worth it in his humble opinion.

So Sarevok does end up finding the remnants of the cult, which are objectively doing "not good"™️ but surprisingly not that small in number and he decides that this won't be an in and out gone and done typa thing and resorts to the thing he does best; scheming. And as luck would have it he's wonderfully prepared for it. Because he may no longer be a Bhaalspawn, but once upon a time he was. And with no precedent to dispute his hypothesis, who's to say the taint won't return in a second generation? With no Bhaalspawn left to dispute his claims, who would out Helena as a fraud?

So Sarevok returns to the Cult, Helena his "daughter" in tow, remorseful about his "betrayal" and ready to give it his all in serving Bhaal again and definitely not just to do his best to destroy the faith from the inside (because fuck you Bhaal) and stop any attempts to resurrect the kinky murder lord immediately (because again, fuck you Bhaal).

And it would be so nice if the story ended here wouldn't it? So very nice. But alas. This ain't about him. And there's more Bhaalspawn around. 2 more to be precise.

20 years pass. Tiny Helena isn't quite so tiny anymore, and Sarevok regained some station thanks to her. And gods, how he missed it. Holding sway over people, having people listen and obey, clinging to his word like lives depend on it. As much as Tamoko wished to believe it was solely the rotten blood that caused all of their misery, perhaps he had always been a little rotten himself. But of course, this time he won't repeat his mistakes, he still holds onto his plan. This is, after all, to spite Bhaal and control the temple from acting out again. He's simply taking a more pleasing approach. One without nearly as many casualties. Adrian would understand, if they had been talking still. If he knew.

Anyhow, moral decay aside, generally speaking things were going swimmingly for Sarevok. A few hicups here and there couldn't be avoided, like when a boy and an imp showed up in front of the temple claiming that the boy was Bhaals long lost masterpiece, but lucky for Sarevok, his newfound brother was rather perceptive and it wasn't too hard to string him along. Perhaps the nativity from being isolated for longer than most humans lived contributed to that nativity, but today's Sarevok would probably find an explanation why he'd been the mastermind behind it all anyway.

And honestly with how he'd been managing things, it could've proceeded smoothly if not for this tiny, minor issue of Helenas pregnancy. The cult as it was now placed blood purity above all else. After all, with Bhaal missing and most of his spawn eradicated, a pureblooded Bhaalspawn was about as close as they could come to their god. And the boys arrival alone had been enough to highlight how important this belief had really grown within their ranks, and how easily opinions became divided.

But then again, this too wasn't an issue good old Sarevok couldn't navigate around. If this issue was the purity of Bhaals essence there's one handy way to get around it; eliminate the sources that could taint it. If Helenas true identity hadn't been revealed even after decades had passed it was unlikely it would be revealed now, and if the boy had a change of heart and exposed what Sarevok had done he'd ruin his own credibility alongside Sarevok's anyway. So he placed his bets and proceed to claim fatherhood. His consciousness did sting a tad bit but Tamoko would understand, he'd convinced himself of that. After all if this would lead to Bhaals certain destruction, it was worth every little white lie.

And well, from here on out, its pretty much the story everyone knows. Under Sarevok's careful guidance "Elli" learns how to resent Bhaal properly and how nice this particular flavour of power can be, both keep pushing off that destruction of the cult they're both definitely still pursuing, trust them, they'll do it tomorrow. And then Helena dies, one of them gets involved with a burly armed Banite and the other one is too busy feeling vindicated for suffering so much in his past to still care about anything else.

At least until Viekang grows a backbone (nah jk it's Viekang and I love how miserable he is; he was simply strung along by another branch of bhaalists cuz yeah that faith is bigger than just the Gate even if BG3 loves to forget that and not everyone falls for Sarevoks bullshit), Bhaal is resurrected and decides to visit his little failures. Like geniunely visit. Cuz yes the gods can casually drop by. And they do. Especially when the people they're about to visit can do fuck all.

Anyway after a brief visit from daddy dearest Sarevok is done. Bhaal knows what he did. He knows Bhaal knows. He failed everything he sat out to do and more, and again it happened because he was drawn into a false safety by his own hubris and realising that just absolutely crushes him. Theres no coming back from being destroyed like that twice. "Elli", unlike Sarevok, is a bit more rebellious (thx nativity); however he too is quickly put in place the second the world's greatest dad displays how little control "Elli" actually has. Especially over his own body. No the Urge was no unhappy little accident like he told himself, that was just the beginning.

Also because I can; yes Bhaal knows Orin is a complete scam. Yes he indulges it anyway. On one hand it's blatantly rubbing into Sarevok's and "Elli's" face that he's the one in power here, no matter what they try, if Bhaal decides it's the truth, it will become the truth, and also because it's just easier. Bhaal after all is an incredibly cruel and manipulative arsehole who knows how to turn a situation in his favour. He's perfectly aware of the power he holds and how to use it effectively, and I love that for him. Cuz he is murder personified and death, especially of that kind *is* cruel and malicious. Also, a nice little loyal puppet that doesn't know any better and already dedicated herself to him? For free? Without him having to do anything special? He'd be an idiot to turn that down. Besides if his other kid fucks up again (I mean theres a track record of that) he already has a spare ready. Thanks, Sarevok, "Elli", dad's finally proud of u guys :)

Oh also "Elli" babe? Yeah you don't get a choice in whether you become a chosen or not. There might be a consent requirement for normal people but being literally created by that God as an affront to nature and life itself kind of overwrites those rules. Hope ur fine with it, and we'll even if you're not; it's not like you could change it lol

[possiblyawesometmblr]

i'm allowing myself exactly one (1) moment of pure delusion:

jon martin jonah. thanks for your time.

[n-hospital]

you. N and volo's massive parallels. you understand yes?

[lbhslefttiddie]

honestly i don't think sqq (jiu) would have minded the accusations of preferential treatment from yqy if they'd felt true. like as children he guarded the title of being yue qi's Favorite with teeth and claws. why shouldn't he be given preferential treatment? everyone ought to know just who qi-ge likes and trusts over everyone else. and for good fucking reason--who else here is watching out for qi-ge? as peak lords he's literally 2nd in command and chief tactician, if yqy values his word over yours, then its both what makes most sense and also what he deserves.

the thing is that to sqq, being accused of being favoured by yqy over others now just feels like a sick joke, because obviously (to him) that's not the fucking case. if he actually gave him preferential treatment you'd think he'd listen to what he has to fucking say, instead of believing what anyone else tells him about sqq. you'd think, if he was yqy's favorite, he wouldn't have left him to rot.

so i think, in a setting where they reconcile after becoming peak lords, that sqq would very much slap yqy's love for him in everyones faces as a kind of power move. a kind of, "oh, you thought that was favouritism? you havent seen yet what it looks like when qi-ge lets himself favour someone."

Hey, did you know about the dub GabaLeth (YouTube) just posted of your comic Eternal? They give credit and links to your Tumblr but I want to make sure they actually have permission.

Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/pHZsvsvcXuM?si=i-ln30J3q6Z1EaPL

yep! gabaleth and I actually have an agreement in terms of compensation for their dubs of my comics, since they're a monetized channel, which is above and beyond what most other dubbers and reposters have offered me. They've done multiple of my comics in the past and they're generally really good about credit and compensation!

Yeah I also got spoiled by the heart tweets, but in a way I'm kinda glad it happened because it made me focus on robbie for the entire last ten minutes of the episode, and it was so interesting to see him - trying to find the right moment, every now and then starting to speak up and then stopping when someone else does too, having made the decision of what he's about to do and KNOWING it has to be the last scene of the episode after all these other chucklefucks finish their fun and games. And he did such a good job I'm so so so happy with how they both dealt with this!!!

I'm watching through the early Phil younows for the first time and boy, we understandably harp on Dan the most for the 2012 era denial/overcompensating but Phil's contributions are fascinating. So far my highlights include:

"Dan and I don't do everything together because then we would get sick of each other...as friends" ok no one was reading into it as if you weren't friends

Him willingly reading out "would you rather marry Dan or lick a hobo" and having an extended moment of silence that lasts way too long to be casual as he fights for his life trying to figure out what to say before saying hobo and quickly trying to move on. Then Dan joins later on and he unprompted tells Dan about this. Also should be noted shortly after he answered he was like "huh weird my chat is suddenly being slow and there's nothing for me to read out" which seems a little too convenient to me

Do you think if the trolls all came back, like everything in the main comic did happen and they were alive again. Do you think Feferi would actually forgive Eridan? Or want to even be his friend after everything? I don't personally like the erisol and fefertasprite interaction…felt rushed…..so I just wanted to know your opinion if things were different! :)

Yeah, I think they would be! Feferi is one of the trolls who takes dying the least badly (relentless optimism) and Eridan does genuinely feel bad, which means a lot when it's Eridan. I think she really is genuine when she says she wants them to be friends and also that she's really not the type of person to hold a grudge, and like... death is SUPER cheap in Homestuck, it's really not the horrific, irredeemable, irreperable damage that it is IRL - and if you're talking about (Feferi) and (Eridan), then they're both dead (and irrelevent) now, so the score is kind of even.

In general, the fandom - I mean, people in general, really - tend to have difficulty divorcing themselves from other people. We tend to assume that the people and characters they like will hold similar opinions to themselves. This is how people who like Karkat and don't like Eridan can mentally gloss over or even block out their clear, close friendship, or how people who dislike Cronus can end up overlooking that Meenah actually takes his opinion seriously and unironically defends his wizard thing. Feferi really isn't mad at Eridan or upset about dying the way we probably would be, because she's friends with the horrorterrors, relentlessly cheerful, comfortable with death in general, and death is also just not really that big of a deal in this setting. "I'm really sorry about that, that was shitty of me" is honestly probably all the apology she needs, especially if they came back to life anyway.

i genuinely think ch. 144 is one of the most fascinating chapters in all of kuroshitsuji in terms of the Emotional Depth it gets into. like, just look at the Levels lizzie manages to break the motivations behind her feelings down to over the course of this one conversation:

on the surface: horror and shock, that one of the people she cares The Most about has been successfully lying to her and everybody around them for Years about his identity; it's that fear of the Stranger, the not!Them, a stomach twisting realization that something so fundamental and core to your understanding of reality itself has been suddenly uprooted, flipped upside down and perverted right beneath your nose.

one level down: embarrassment, that despite all of her claims to love and care for him so Dearly, she still couldn't tell that her betrothed from his own twin brother; a recognition of her own childish naïveté and the stupidity associated with it, shameful in retrospect and reflection.

below that: fear, that actually she was able to tell the difference, that she could always somewhat tell that something wasn't quite right or in line with her expectations, but that on some level she still chose not to pay attention to it; this isn't baseline stupidity, not actually, but rather willful ignorance-- and somehow that just feels worse. she could've lived her entire life with him without knowing; but she did know. and she chose to stick with the lie anyways.

embedded within: a question. why would he bother to do this at all, when all logic points to it being entirely unnecessary? when he would've been accepted as the heir regardless, taken the money and title and status, been accepted as the only survivor left? why lie when such a revelation could cost him so much?

and at the deepest level: an answer. he lied because he Knew. he lied because he was aware of her own faults before she was, aware of the fact that she would be happier with the Other than she would've been with him, that he would be accepted and loved and respected as the True Heir much easier than as the Spare. he lied because of her, because he judged her and the others to love his brother more easily than him, and in the end he was right.

lizzie worries out loud about the alternative case, the alternate timeline, where o!ciel comes back as himself and she resents him for it to his face.

what she does not comment about (aloud) is the current facts-- that she has already done this. that she Has been doing this, the entire time, for years. at no point throughout any of this has lizzie ever actually had to state out loud that she preferred r!ciel live over o!ciel. he already knew when he chose to take on that name-- and every one of her actions since then has only strengthened and reinforced that original conviction.
