querencia (spanish) /keh-REN-syah/ n. a place where one feels most at home; a source of strength and calm; a person or space where the soul feels safe without needing validation — often found not in places, but in people. “that name wasn’t meant to be a turning point, but somehow, it became hers — and he, her place.”

✦ in fiction we trust. love, celeste ˶ᵔ⤙ᵔ˶ so this fic is probably gonna be a long one [lmao oops] so i decided to split it into chapters. i’ve been wanting to explore some heavier themes for a while now [i promise, i kept it light], and this fic kind of became that space for me. despite the emotional grooming, infidelity, gaslighting, workplace sexism, and all that heavy stuff this fic touches on — one of the things i love most is that the reader has a genuinely healthy family. like actual supportive, emotionally present parents. and that’s something we don’t get to write often, so it means a lot to me. also the contrast between the two men… yeah. we’re gonna talk about that. and of course, we’ve got found family energy with the besties, so please look forward to their scenes too. also yes... i may or may not have written myself into the fic. yes it was intentional. yes i’m having fun with it 🤭

anyway that’s it for now. this fic went through a lot with me—emotionally and creatively—so i really hope you enjoy it and give it some love 🤍

The Bullying and Doxxing

This has been edited to clarify my points 6.6.2025

It has taken me longer than I would like to put this into words, due to life giving me all the good things I have been working for at once. I am going to make this abundantly clear for everyone.

What happened to Idontevenlikedragonage should have never happened. Not because we are all rainbows and toxic positivity, but rather we as a community should never allow people to feel comfortable enough that they can dox someone. In my thirty one years of existence there has been one cardinal rule of the internet.

If you dont like something or someone's take ignore it.

At the end of the day we all like engaging with media be it on a hyper critical way or on the barest amount of engagement. However it does not matter if it is a survey, an analysis, or someone's opinion. You do not need to escalate to bullying them off the internet and doxxing.

This is different for real beliefs that translate beyond the videogame space such as Zionism, TERF ideologies, White Supremacy, Racism etc. That being said the more engagement you give a piece the bigger platform they have. The best strategy I have seen across social media platforms is blocking and not engaging period.

DOXXING IS ILLEGAL.

The fact this was done on Anon, very clearly illustrates that they know what they are doing is wrong, and they do not want to face the consequences of their actions. However, I am ultimately not surprised as to date to my knowledge this fandom has done the following;

Bullied Jenifer Hepler off the Internet

My fandom knowledge has said this was due to the alleged character assassination of Anders. However someone did bring up Proto-gamergate and while I am still looking into the events leading to her being doxxed and her family threatened but it is possible for these two things to exist in the same space and time. It is still bullying and harassment.

Disclaimer: Her TERF and Zionism ideologies are not condoned

Bullied David Gaider, Mike Laidlaw, Trick Weekes, and John Epler into Locking their Accounts Multiple Times.

I am specifically referencing a group of Solavellan enjoyers known as Sollavellan Wives due to their alarming similarity to Snape Wives from the Harry Potter Franchise. To MY KNOWLEDGE this does not include anyone with nuanced versions of Lavellan, or Solavellans who are capable of disagreeing with the the creators but remaining rational about it. Additionally this comes to mind about Emmerich sleeping like a giraffe or Solas having a breeding kink, the devs are allowed to have fun, they are allowed to not like a character they write. I will be real as a budding novelist and fanfiction author I legitimately do not like some of my characters. I have a character who I literally mentally shake like a maraca because they keep changing what they want. At the end of the day though this does not change my dedication for my characters or the work I will put in to see that their voice is heard.

Hate mobbed A WOC author for her portrayal of Vivienne, using the fic as an example of systemic violence against WOC characters, and Improper Tagging.

Bullied Voice Actors and Devs for having different opinions on the characters.

Bullied Concept Artists for releasing concept art.

Y'all need to learn to enjoy life and nature more, I am tired of seeing creators and people who simply enjoy the game bullied for daring to have a different opinion. There is a difference between bigotry and use of stereotypes and someone genuinely having an opinion for no reason that the media you consumed is not great. The above actions are not the fault of the victims but rather the so called alleged fans who decided to bully them off the internet. Congratulations you are as bad as the Star Wars Fandom and that is not a compliment.

DA is what you make it, Veilguard is what you make it.

I have been in this franchise since ye-olden days and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have also actively enjoyed Veilguard to the point it is competing with my UNMODDED Inquisition run on XBOX for playable hours, mind you this was when you had to leave the machine on and the game running for the Wartable to it's thing.

Also if by some miracle I have mutuals or followers/following that are contributing to this bullying and doxxing bullshit in the fandom. Please do reach out and let me know. They do not speak for my beliefs or opinions. Fandom should be our place from the world to take our selves less seriously, and enjoy the media we all love.

Racists, TERFS, Zionists, and those practicing other forms of Bigotry please exit stage left. You are not welcome here.

Chapter 1 is out now! (Also, Weekly Update June 7th/8th 2025)

Hi everyone!

Yes. I couldn't hold it back anymore. It's released.

You can play chapter 1 now.

Edit: I'm dumb and stupid and undeserving and forgot to credit her. Many thanks to @partyof4game for betareading, your input was so incredibly helpful. <3

Also, for the actual weekly update:

This week, I worked on Ing's POV of the Eostrae feast of the prologue, which will be available for the highest tiers on Patreon and Ko-Fi.

Also, I've been doing a lot of research, as in the story, MC now reaches Rome and, because the story plays in the very early Roman Empire, shortly after the fall of the Roman Republic, there is so much to read up on, and so much to know about considering buildings and areas.

For example, the Colosseum wasn't built for another 60 years, just like some other major sites. Marble was only brought to Rome when Augustus became the first Emperor (who is still alive when MC is brought to Rome), and only slowly the buildings were built with it instead of stone.

I have read a biography of Augustus, and I still have to read a biography of Tiberius, the second Emperor (who is also relevant for Suevi).

Two other very interesting books I am currently reading are "A Walk Through Ancient Rome: A Tour of the Historical Sites That Shaped the City," which is set in the late fourth century, and, "24 hours in Ancient Rome: A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There". (Impressively long titles nobody can even remember half of...)

Both books are written by Philip Matyszak, and they are technically set too late (380ish CE and 137 CE instead of 14 CE), but it's the closest I could find, and I need to constantly check if things are realistic for the time I'm writing the story. Still, they give me a pretty good idea of how things were back then.

I've also found some great maps and other helpful resources about the time.

And I've re-read some of the Edda to look for some nice quotes I might be able to use for the story.

And... I've written some. Definitely not as much as I would have liked to (only 4.5k words this week), but there is just too much I really want to be certain about before incorporating it into the story, so reading, research and fact-checking it is for now. :)

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy chapter 1! <3

[crow-caller]

It's so weird (I lack a better word) to have Leftover book projects as a writer. I have a four book series which at this point is nearly a decade old, like 300k of words, which I'll never publish, or return to to rewrite. It won't be read, probably not even by me. But it sure exists, and was so much of my life at the time. I have two other complete, unpublished manuscripts in the same state. They're not good enough to self publish, so they just... exist forever, yknow?

There's some good bits and ideas and sections of writing, some of which I could perhaps reuse one day, but I don't know and couldn't say!

For nostalgia, here's a longass bit of rambling about all my never published books:

First, I... actually, only as I type this, believe some of them may still be uploaded on wattpad or fictionpress. I wouldn't recommend them, I have still affection for what they were to me and what their potential is, but don't bother hunting them down

The Terminal Quartet

Each book was named after a horticultural term, including 'Terminal'. This threw everyone off, but I was taking a horticulture class in high school and was inspired! My memory is vague but I was probably about 15 when I wrote the first book, then about 16, 17, and 19 for the others. I wrote Termi1 at the same time i was writing angel radio, which was traditionally published— there's still a post on THIS tumblr from the time where I lament AR was way more popular on fictionpress despite me liking Terminal more.

Terminal was.... a lot, tone wise, genre wise. It was comedy but with a lot of drama, violence, even gore, and hard themes.

Terminal

A misanthropic worker in Hell decides to quit, stealing a recent human. Mannie was this annoying, weird, character i really cared for, and my first time really thinking about an aroace (and agender) character— a long time before I felt i could ID as anything. The book was a lot of walking and talking and didn't quite have momentum or purpose, as Mannie toured this underground Hell which was oddly not supernatural... despite shape-shifting hellhounds and people with horns.

Eventually it comes out the demons (and angels) are these lab experiments, Hell is a bunker, and everyone's kind of forgotten this do to an EXTREMELY convoluted 19 year time loop that only affected the earth's surface but not hell or the present non-looping earth angels lived in. That time loop was my bane, I still recall the genius moment in art class where I figured it all out... and it never really made sense again. Despite that, symboligically, the weird loop was really important— the series was all about people stuck in cycles of behaviour and the past. The loop was also key to the plot, so I couldn't ever edit it out or change it really.

It turned out Mannie was one of the original people involved in the incident that created the loop. This desperately lonely but in denial immortal, who needs acknowledgement but instead is perpetually a side character to more important people doing important things

“What’s wrong?” “A lot,” I said, and I felt like this was it. This was enough. I could probably live with never speaking again if it meant those would be my last words. Blake was there with me, and in another few seconds, like everything else in my life, that too had passed. In the damp darkness of October, the morning before Halloween, I balled my fists up and shivered in the wind, cold under the light of the new moon, alone in a shifting forest. Thinking of a tampered clock and the boy who hadn’t known. In another few seconds, it was spring, and I was warm, and besides the world, nothing else had changed.

Radicle

Man so many people assumed this was a typo.

Radi was my most read story, eclipsing terminal by a lot. It was stand alone enough to do so. To this day, my mom who read all my stuff, mentions radicle and how she liked it best, including over my actually published and edited stuff.

Radi was about Nichael. All the books were a close 1st person POV, as i looooved writing strong character voices. Nichael was an angel, who witnessed something never specified around the cult leader angel Michael. So began a pretty weird psychosexual ambigipus something, where Nichael is sent to Hell as an ambassador, begins to learn the truth about Michael, and yet keeps returning to him.

Nichael even learns the truth of himself, how a demon he meets is his actual forgotten sister, and he still kills her and dies in Michael's arms... but ensures a peace deal between heaven and hell, so other angels can escape. Radi was fun. I really enjoyed the angelic cult-ure. Michael was the guy the cycles were based around, eternally 19, very mentally ill, my favourite wretched blorbo...

Evergreen

This was a novella, and the final one i wrote. I finished it during my first year in uni.

After heaven and hell have peace, all the angels have moved into hell's city. It followed Michael, and his tumultuous existence as this still worshipped cult leader god.... but now that love is more pity, if not hate, as the angels have seen his hypocrisy and lies. He's having a mental health spiral when someone identical to Nichael shows up, who winds up being this weird amnesiac shapeshifter? It's a very strange story about identity and self, but i really really liked it, and it was pretty fitting for a difficult time in my life.

Umbel

Look I'm rambling approximate summaries, umbel was a lot more going on. It wasn't stand alone and tied things together. Characters returned, events recycled though ever different. The 20 year peace anniversary is a contentious time. A new hellhound is trying to keep the peace and begins to realize everyone important in hell knows him somehow. Mannie is there, barely disguised, and no one recognises them (because I didn't know i was faceblind I just never considered how weird that was).

I’ve always been a lost cause, and I’ve long accepted it to be a fundamental part of my personality. It’s not depressing to me, and never was. I’ve simply always been called one since before my memory began, and it’s become nothing more than a standard fit label to me at this point. Still, I sort of figured that when I got to Hell and away from my family, things would be sort of different. Old traditions wouldn’t be able to follow. And yet- Well, okay, no one had yet to call me a lost cause, but I promise, that day was coming. Because I was really fucking bad at my job.

It had a kinda happy ending after a lot of devastation. That's my favourite kind.

The Ascension

This was a joke originally. I looked at my old Mary Sue esque ocs and storyline, and on a joke with a friend, tried to write a more serious version. Most of the plot just wasn't anything, but there were bits I was really into, and it became the basis of my DND world!

The first image is what Aster looked like in my head as a kid, the second is the protagonist of the Ascension

A girl (very autistic coded, aromantic but not ace— i didn't feel comfortable IDing as anything for a long time, but I had interesting patterns as a youth, huh) embarks on a holy, always-doomed quest to awaken her country's sacred God of the Sea. She has been chosen to succeed, though she doesn't know it yet— chosen long ago to suffer and ascend into godhood herself, to destroy her world and be the next all-god in a cycle of deities and experimentation.

It was a mix of fantasy and unexpected sci-fi, as it came to light the current all-god of the sky was once mortal too, taken by an interdimensional scientist and altered into godhood. This is Aster's inescapable fate.

And the being running this experiment?? Um. Mew from pokemon. The sky god is ho-oh. The other two are groudon and kyogre. Yeah, I said this was based on childhood ocs, remember!

One Dead Girl

This is my most recent project, a high fantasy YA based on some of my dnd stuff. Illuzi was a noble girl with demonic blood, whose mother shaved her horns until hiding it became too risky. Her death was faked and she was abandoned. Years later, the irresponsible, mad bigender prince(ss) she was once in love with recruits her for a mission at the Palace, and she uncovers the truth of her nation's eternal war with demons— it is all a farce, the rulers of both sides in a contract to keep the war going as a tool of control.

The princess manipulates illuzi to kill the king and queen so he can seize power, aiming to inspire the people to revolt in his mad reign— while a betrayed Illuzi leaves to the Hellmouth, hoping for a place she could ever belong

There once was a story I knew very well, about a girl who had everything in the world and just a little bit more. That was the sort of story you relied on when you were not born right. Even if you did not look like the blonde girl on the cover, with her gossamer gowns and long straight hair. When the world was cruel you had to read stories where more than half of it was the part about being saved, where even the villains would exposit on the wonders of your heart, where your heart was any good at all in a world of selfishness and apathy. That was the story, at least, I had relied on. In the story of Princess Illuzi, a lovely girl is turned into a monster because she is too perfect to exist. She is beloved- kind, generous, and beautiful- and for this a fiend seeks out and punishes her. Fiends see the good, pure things in the world and writhe in jealousy. Yet always the fiend is defeated, and the princess is saved, and her kingdom had missed her very, very much. I did not think my home missed me when I’d left. I did not think the garden realized the child who picked her flowers had disappeared, or the non-existent pixies noticed no new houses were being built from sticks and stones. The moths did not realize they were no longer getting bedtime stories, and the stuffed animals did not mourn nights in warm beds. I’d never been missed. Not even Alessandra had missed me. Not in the proper way, the way it is in stories: they kiss and fall in love and get married in the morning and every person in the world is happy for them. I marched, ever slowly, north. To the land where bad stories came from, and to a city that might welcome me at last.

One Dead Girl 2 (Here Comes The Dragon? End The Halycon Days? Title never picked)

This one i wrote only 20k of or so. Illuzi arrives to the Hellmouth. She learns demons are born from the pain and negative feelings of the world, that strong ones are made from consuming the weak, that blood controls blood, that... there's a sentient pool of blood and visera they were all born from known as MOTHER LACRIMAAS

She. To know her as anything else would be ridiculous, I knew who she was and I recognized her in myself, where she had always been- she was, and she was. There in the blood and ooze and the sea of teeth and children, there she was. I was curled over and under and she came to me and I understood why everyone was watching from the shore with such sadness in their gazes, and I understood why I had been made to meet her. I understood. I hated it. O Mother Lacrimaas, hater of us all- I knew her, for she was my blood, and she was everything wrong with me, and she climbed into my skin with a million bloody fingertips and made her home in my hollow little heart.

Also there was a giant bat person from across the world who was maybe going to be a love interest.

I, um, had a really vivid dream about falling in love with an alien bat around this time and woke up like "i need to put this in my book"

The last book, which i had some notes for, was going to be called EATER OF CHAINS or so.

Young Royals Remix Exchange - FAQ

There's just under two weeks to go to sign up for the first Young Royals Remix Exchange! All the details are here (please spread the word!) Have you decided yet which of your own fanworks you'll choose?

We've had a few questions about the event so thought we'd take the chance to clear up some things.

I'm not a writer, is this event for me?

Absolutely, this event is for everyone! Including fic writers obviously, but we really want podficcers, artists, editors, gif makers, and all other creatives to get involved too. You could make a fanmix or video edit inspired by someone's fic. Someone else might write a story inspired by your fanart or gifset. Or of course you can also remix in the same medium - you could reimagine someone's fanart in your own style, or write a sequel or prequel or alternative take on a fic.

This event isn't for me because no one will want to choose my work to remix.

Absolutely not the case! Some of the mods have run similar events in other fandoms and we promise everyone always finds a match one way or another. (We have contingency plans if there's really a difficulty but it's unlikely.) And the more people who sign up, the higher the chance of everyone finding something that really inspires them in the list!

Is there any point in signing up if I'm not interested in Wilmon?

Obviously any YR fandom event will skew towards Wilmon, and of course we encourage all Wilmon shippers to take part. But the fandom is also broader than that, and we know from existing sign ups and those who've said they intend to sign up that there should definitely be some options for participants interested in other characters than Wilmon. And the more people who sign up, the more options there will be!

I can't sign up because I'm new/unknown/not active in this fandom/not good enough.

We understand the fear! But this kind of exchange is a great way to get involved, especially if you're new to a fandom or coming back after an absence - you're making a gift for someone, not competing with anyone. You only need to have posted one complete work to sign up, and the minimum requirements are very doable (check the event post for details). Remember you can choose which prompts you want to remix (on a first come first served basis) so you can try and avoid anything too intimidating if you want - but most people are friendly and will be super excited to receive a work from someone new to them!

What if I only want certain kinds of gifts/remixes of my works?

Remember you can specify your preferences in the form about anything you don't want to receive, be it format, rating, or specific characters/themes you'd rather not see. And you can encourage your friends with similar tastes to sign up too!

If you ultimately decide you'd rather not offer your own works for remix, you can still take part by choosing something from the list to create something extra for, with no minimum requirements.

If there's anything else you want to ask us about, please feel free to drop us an ask or a comment.

Is it maybe a little pretentious to have my persona be more.. god like? Perhaps- XD

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

In one manner, Starry is a sovereign of the night sky, the stars at dusk. She watches over the world, spanning across several universes, and her domains resides above them all. She spends her time watching over the little people in their worlds, embarking on journeys, meeting strife, falling to love and loss. She does not instill fate, she simply watches, but she knows of what is to come. She does not exist to any of them, as a concept outside of their universe, the goddess of their gods. And yet?

In another manner, she is nothing. Nothing omnipotent or all-powerful about her, other than her regal/elegant looks. She is a big nerd at heart, kicking her feet and giggling at people's writings and aus. She may have curved horns and stars dotting midnight skin, but she is no more of a god than a human wearing a yellow poncho. She resides our with the community and has the niche ability to summon a blue martini glass that she can communicate through/physically embody if need be. Why? Comedic humor. XD /hj /silly

FABLEHAVEN MOVIE IS REAL??? oh my god that is my FAVOURITE book series. please god I hope it ends up being good <3

(I'm keeping my expectations very low of course lmao, I've been burned wayyy too many times by bad movie adaptations. but honestly I'll just be happy if it brings more people into reading the book series!!

other than one or two things (*cough cough the horrific disaster of Brackendra cough cough*) it's such a SEVERELY underrated series and one of the only childhood favourites of mine that has actually held up enough that I enjoy rereading it to this day!!!) (also hands-down the best inclusion of indigenous peoples into worldbuilding that I've ever seen, which is really cool!!)

[orcelito]

Been largely absent today bc I've been Out but CHECK THIS OUT

I bought this thang

Here's it in my actual new apartment. I wanna put it together so bad!!!!! But it's nearly midnight and I don't have the tools to put it together anyways

Later... later, I shall.....

[free-luigi-mangione]

I have a lot of older conservative relatives, most of them are surprisingly sympathetic towards Luigi (though a lot of it has to do with him being a handsome white man, rather than any appreciation for his supposed bravery.)

They’ve suffered decades of denied claims, and have lived long enough to realise that there is no peaceful way to fight back at the system. Regular people have no legal recourse to seek justice when we’re screwed over. Most of us are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. The American healthcare system is so skewed, so evil, I don’t quite know how to express it to someone who hasn’t experienced it first-hand.

And yet, “murder is bad” is so deeply ingrained in them that they think he deserves some sort of punishment. They don’t want him to go away for life, but they’re also too stupid to realise that the chance to “reasonably” punish him ended back in December. He needs us Americans to disregard the evidence shown to us in court, to display some collective moral intelligence for once, to do the right thing even when it’s the antithesis of the law. We have to vote Not Guilty even if they show is a goddamn Livestream of Luigi doing it.

Unfortunately Americans as a collective voted for this disaster. And the disaster is much bigger than what’s happening to Luigi. Look at the state of the country. I’ve been asking every older conservative I know, and they genuinely want him to “do a few years” not realising that few years is not an option. They simply cannot justify letting a killer walk free, no matter how justified the crime. These idiots don’t understand how it works. They don’t know that it’s all or nothing. If we don’t save him, he’s going to meet a fate much darker than Brian Thompson did.

I will tell you this, the hardcore MAGAs want him to fry. There are people who vote red because they’re genuinely conservative, and there he has some chance, but the ones who vote conservative out of malice? They want him tortured and executed in public. I am scared of those people making it on to his jury. I am counting on Karen’s ability to spot these rotten pigs and get them kicked off…it’s my only hope.

- 💚

i hope americans (and brainwashed white people in general) learn a few things very soon –

non-violence does not work, and sometimes violence is the only answer and it is absolutely right, and

privileged people like them have forgotten this lesson because people of colour have suffered at their hands and have ingrained that lesson in their blood while they looked away and this included people losing their life to the death penalty too.

(click on the underlined portions, they're linked to posts that are relevant to what i mentioned)

also I know you said it is very hard to make those people sympathise with Luigi and they're really very idiotic but maybe trying to make them understand would help?? by telling them exactly what is at stake?? surely they're not rooting for a person like Luigi to be killed by the death penalty or to be deprived of every shred of life in LWOP?? maybe reasoning with them would help?? i don't know if it would but i genuinely hope it does.

i've had basically this exact conversation a few times and there are more asks currently waiting in my inbox talking about this, and i think Luigi's only hope of walking lies in KFA's capability of enforcing voir dire to make sure that he gets a female majority jury, with most people being people of colour. i cannot frankly see any hope otherwise.

The problem with cash is I literally convince myself that no one can see me spending it and therefore it’s not real money and can’t get me. And then I spend £48 on books

[seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana]

@megatraven

I was going to put this in your ask box bc I didn’t intend for it to be long….but it is and I have to put it as it’s own post lol.

So Do you remember the Hercules song fic of “Love Me I Beg” and breakdown for how it fits him? If not here it is again. When I made that post, I was thinking of doing a fic for Hercules and MC friendship and everything that I mentioned…but it’s not coming together properly. The only part I have done, which I thought would be nice to share, is a scene where MC and him are arguing about something he did or said. Like how he believes he himself is not as great as others bc he’s a demigod (even tho he doesn’t say it directly like that bc of pride and he has to be a Man and can’t be emotional) and MC will not stand for it. She may not like him very much, but she sees the person in him (though it’s difficult to) and she sees the insecurity and she hates how it contorts him and hurts him and others. His own feelings hurt others around him, whether he truly believes that or not or doesn’t even realize it.

They get into the argument of MC saying he shouldn’t hate on humans or monsters bc he sees them as different and ‘weak’, because he’s just been raised to see things that way and has this insecurity fueled by the others around him for millennia. He can change and be different and can alter his view and be better. But he keeps arguing on and on, and at some point I have the dialogue of MC getting fed up and pushed past her kindness saying,

“I don’t see a hero in you, all I see is a MONSTER!”

And then she leaves him with that slap in the face. Not physical…though I have considered it to happen to stand as a waking up call. But anyways it hits him hard mainly bc he’s all about taking auras and has taken monsters’ aura (and she knows about this. In this AU I see her being close friends with basically everyone so she knows the stories) but he understands she’s not talking about a monster, but a MONSTER MONSTER. An evil creature, and not a Hero he believes he is. At least, in my head Hercules sees himself as that because isn’t he Zeus’s hero? Like in literal terms like how Nyela was Aphrodite’s hero, isn’t Hercules Zeus’s hero? If not, then let’s pretend he is lol.

Anyways, it really hits him and makes him think of how he’s been raised. AND the other really hitting dialogue that makes him mad (but also really think™️ about things) is MC literally saying, “Your family has failed you,” bc she sees his opinions, learns more about the gods’ views from him, and begins to see the turmoil and problems he has and the harshness and ugliness of the gods and and see the awful ways he was raised and she can’t help but compare it to how her mother was so loving and accepting and encouraging and how his family SHOULD be like that and AGH. MC may not like him, but she wants to help. But she also is like “and I mean if you could give the auras back…” since she loves the monsters in my AU lol.

But, yeah, I just have these two pieces of dialogue (and a few others if you’d like to hear about them) and kinda ideas for them. That I need to write one day bc it’s one of the thoughts in my head constantly and I need to get it out😭.

And I also hope you enjoy your vacation Meg💙. You deserve it🥺💙💙💙💙.

And side note that’s not too important: Eros is the one MC vents to bc he’s a worm that hasn’t left my mind yet so rn he’s the romance for me. Those fics for him I mentioned I AM working on as well lmao.

several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold

I have finished this edit and have sent it to Emily and I’m already dying. It’s the first time she’s been actively into something I’ve written. It’s 3 am. She’s sleeping.
