#and i'm scared i won't be as good as i was but the thing is... why does that mean i shouldn't try?

[pinkmarbella2050]

Oh, Tale as Old as Time, for sure. It’s a crossover of Escape The Night and Beauty and The Beast inspired by Lydia The Bard’s villain song for Belle.

2. Does it count if you have planning for it? Because if so, my novelisation for The Traitors UK Series 2. I'd love to finish scripting those episodes ASAP so I can outline the fucking thing.

3. I like how I can take some pretty wild shit and make it tangible and I have a bit of a knack for taking innocuous things and making them really creepy. In Tale as Old as Time, I've taken one of the things and rewrote the lyrics to make it really fucked up - and if you sing it over the top of the original song (or the 2017 one, it works for both!), it works, so I guess that's my claim to fame. 4. That's a tough one. Maybe unrequited love? I wanna try it, but I'm worried that, if I do write it, I will unintentionally villify the person whose feelings are unrequited, so I always get scared to. XD 5. A lot of my fics are really satisfying to finish, to be fair, but it's because quite a few of them are pretty emotionally taxing. I've cried writing a good couple of my fics - some notable examples being My Life Closed Twice Before Its Close and Its You I Welcome Death With - so getting to the end of those was pretty nice. 6. A lot of my fics have sequels, but if I had to write a standalone I had to write for, probably I Am The Star of The Stage (but not of your heart). I could do a sequel poem set at Laurex's wedding or something. 7. Quite a few of them since my fics don't have that many comments on them. If I had to pick one, definitely Rejoining Their Ranks; it did take off a bit, but I was surprised there wasn't much feedback on it. Obviously, I'm not entitled to comments, but I can't say I wasn't surprised since I thought the AU would be more popular. 8. I'm gonna go for Tale as Old as Time here; it's a series of shorter stories that tell one big story (each story corresponds to a canon episode). My favourite bit of it so far is probably in Plumage of Madness (the equivalent of Episode 4) because Chapter 3's ending has one of my favourite things I've ever written in it. I'll use it as my answer to Question 19. 9. I've talked about it briefly, but my Traitors UK Series 2 novelisation, which I'm probably gonna reveal a bit more about soon because I keep running my mouth about it and providing no additional info. It basically tells the story in novel form from the POV of the eventual winner (who I won't say for spoiler reasons). Along the way, we have more psychological explanation, real life and the game crossing over, a few slight changes for drama and a lot more gothic happenings. 10. I've been a horror/thriller/drama writer since I was, like, 11. If it's dramatic/emotional, I can write it quite easily. I really struggle with romance because I've never written it as a single genre and I doubt I ever could. 11. This is actually something I'm gonna do something for Tale as Old as Time! Once the main story's out, I'm gonna tell it from the perspective of two other people. It'll definitely change things, such as how certain characters are viewed (including the characters whose heads are in), there's new descriptions and opinions and more development on all fronts. It'll be interesting, for sure. 12. Well, there's a couple things I have named after songs, so those sort themselves out (i.e: Its You I Welcome Death With has As The World Caves In by Matt Maltese associated with it and And The Funny Thing I Would've Married You has doomsday by Lizzy McAlpine associated with it. In terms of other fics... My Life Closed Twice Before Its Close has Kurt Hugo Schneider's cover of I Will Follow You Into The Dark associated with it. I listened to it on repeat when I wrote Chapter 4 and I think that's part of why I cried writing it. XD 13. Other than The Traitors novelisation and Tale as Old as Time, I have some other fics kicking about that I wanna write. I have an AU for Escape The Night Season 2 where I take a plotline that was dropped pretty quickly and just fucking run with it and shit just gets wild from there. It's called Taking Them All Out and its Alex-centric. Last time I left off, I was on Chapter 6, so I wanna pick that back up when I get a minute and have nothing else to do.

14. I have a lot of OCs I wanna write for! I wanna start an OC Universe, which is a mix of my OCs in different fanfiction (these OCs are actually the cast of Tale as Old as Time) and in some original works of mine as well. Since I usually write fanfiction (and have done so for the past several years), it'll be interesting to basically blend the two. 15. I actually have a fic planned called I Don't Say A Word (but still, you take my breath) and it is for Jesse/DeStorm from Escape The Night Season 2. The premise is that, in the Victorian Era, DeStorm, a railroad tycoon's son who struggles with internalised homophobia, falls in love with Jesse, an outlaw and security detail for his father's railroads, but he's straight and its all an absolute fucking shitshow. I've been meaning to write it for absolutely fucking ages. 16. I have a fic called I'll Be Yours Forever ('til forever falls apart) and its for Janiel (Joey x Daniel), also from Escape The Night. It's a spin-off to The Twisted Victorian Requiem. 17. There's two at the minute, those two being Judas by Lady Gaga and Good For You by Selena Gomez. 18. It really depends; sometimes I'm hoping you laugh, sometimes I'm hoping you cry, sometimes I'm hoping you'll just be like 'what the fuck is going on in here on this day?' like Alyssa Edwards herself. It really depends on the vibes we have going on. 19. Time for the extract I mentioned in Question 8!

He wandered alone in this stone nightmare, his footsteps echoing off the walls as he turned corners and looked around aimlessly, trying to make sense of it all. How Belle, smart and kind and a practically perfect role model, had become so twisted in this world, unlike the story they knew. How everyone seemed to change so quickly. 

How she, the one who fell in love with the Beast’s heart despite his hideous appearance, now damned love to hell and left those who felt it to suffer.

A large stone balcony peeked out through one of the windows, and Eric flung open the nearby door to reach it, to be anywhere other than this prison of death. A spill of periwinkle stars emerged, shivering in the distance, the night wind stinging his numb, indifferent face.

He walked out further and slumped against the railing, ignoring the cold seeping into his skin as he rested his arms. He could easily just roll his sleeves all the way down, but the thought of doing anything brought with it a wave of worthlessness and heaviness.

With a sluggish, deliberate movement, he reached into his pocket, pulled out the ring box and pried it open. An opal embedded in a silver ring awaited his eyes, its colors shifting under the moon like a desperate chameleon camouflaging itself. It was just like her, in a way; hopeful and honest and so much more than how she first appeared.

She may never get it, the cynical part of him said, anybody could die here.

Hoping to shut his brain up, he pocketed the ring again.

He didn't want to hear that his love was gone. He didn't want to know how it would feel to have lost her, to lose that gentle face and those scarlet lips, to no longer see life in those great, still eyes as eternal as diamonds.  

He had seen it once through Zach. He didn't want to see it in himself.

He didn't want to think that she wasn't strong enough to pull through, but it did cross his mind, weighing down the light wings of his love.  

The thoughts continued. Another's. If she was gone, she would be another's.

She would be Death's. 

And he would love her too (who couldn't love that woman?). But the thought of that froze him stiff on the balcony, tightened his fists around the cold stone of the railing until his knuckles were white.  

Dear God, Leila, he prayed, please don't die. 20. I think that's all of them! Thanks for reading, guys!

"Here eat," Mr.Stark said to him, he made him a good-looking pasta and he was hungry, so hungry but Peter wasn't sure he could eat that.

It was Peter's fault after all he should've told Mr. Stark that he has ARFID ( a type of eating disorder), Peter looked at the food he could feel the anxiety gathering in his chest, Mr.Stark was looking inside the fridge for something to drink that was not alcoholic, It's not like Peter had never had pasta before it's just not the one May makes for him.

It was too saucy to his liking and white. Her hated white pasta, but he didn't want to be rude. "You okay, kid? Yoy can start eating, you know. " Peter laughed nervously he took a breath and held the fork. Maybe it won't be so bad, and he would like it.

He took one string of pasta with the fork he curled it around the fork and put it in his mouth he consciously chewed, slow and concentrated he liked it, Oh my god he liked it! He was living off mashed potatoes and bacon for so long, he was so happy.

"I didn't poison it if you are scared of that," Mr.Stark said, and snapped Peter back to reality he was embarrassed he didn't even realize Mr.Stark was sitting in front of him.

"No! It's now that! I just ... I like it" he hasn't said that about food for so long ( mainly his fault again, he refuses to try new food when May offers him) "ahmm thanks?" Mr. Stark's eyebrows crossed in worry " Are you sure you are okay kiddo?"

Maybe it was time to tell him Pete thought

"Actually, there is something I want to tell you" his heart was beating so hard he could hear it he looked at Mr.Stark His face was welcoming It gave Peter some courage to speak " I have hmm ARFID" and there was silence "I'm sorry Pete but what is ARFID"

Peter had a feeling that Mr.Stark wouldn't know but he hoped he wouldn't need to explain "it's like an eating disorder " Peter forgot to elaborate more he realized he should've when he saw Mr.Stark's eyes wide "what?" Mr.Stark said

Peter felt a rush of blood coming to his face " No! It's not like that!! I don't have that kind, I don't care about calories and how much I eat really!! I just am more picky" he said so fast he didn't know if Mr.Stark understood him.

"More picky?" He asked him Peter wasn't sure how to explain it without sounding like he was scared of food " Some food makes me feel weird no not weird but ahmm, I hate food with certain textures or color sometimes even smells it makes me want to throw up, sometimes I fear I might choke on the food or something i don't know " he voice breaks in the last sentence i didn't mean to get emotional.

"Oh Peter I'm sorry" Mr. Stark's voice tone made him feel like crying, his eyes were trained on the plate with pasta, Mr.Stark got up and sat next to him " Is this pasta okay? What do you usually eat? I can make it for you," he said

"I like the pasta" his voice was weak " but I don't like it when it's the tall pasta" Oh my god he was going to cry out of embarrassment he forgot the tall pasta's name " You mean the spaghetti? That's fine I can change it"

He sniffed and wiped one of the tears that fell on his cheek " Thank you "

Mr. Stark's hand was on his back "Write me a list of things you eat when you are done" Peter let out a weak ok .

Peter ate three dishes of that pasta and slept by accident on the couch when they moved to the living room Tony was sitting next to Peter striking his curls "Friday send everything you can get on ARFID to my phone"

A Marriage of Convenience: Chapter IX

Wait, Thedas has TWO moons?

Read it HERE on Ao3!

Emmrich paced back and forth, his agitation growing by the minute. He ought to sit down, relax, and take a breath, maybe even enjoy a cup of tea. No, he couldn't. What if Zea walked in the middle of it? Then he would have to finish making the tea, which would steal the momentum. He had everything set up in a basket, a blanket, snacks, and even a spyglass.

The timing was perfect. Both moons were new. A clear sky. Very little wind. He'd been spending weeks hoping that the stars (pun very intentional) aligned and that what he'd been planning would work out. Hence why he hadn't told her about it. Deep down, it felt somewhat wrong to have kept it a surprise, but he wanted the most optimal conditions, and had plans fell through, due to rain, wind or clouds, she would undoubtedly feel as if she was to blame if the event was cancelled.

Still, he couldn't help but be a bit impatient. Where was she? She had told him that she'd be down filing her new updated maps in the Necropolis maps in the library, but surely that shouldn't take so long. He resumed pacing, much to the aggravation of Manfred, who he obviously was distracting from his embroidery, if the aggravated hiss that emanated from him was any indication.

"I know, I know…" he said, although if it was directed to his ward, or himself, he could not be sure. "She should be here soon. And we have all night, so there is no need to rush, I was just hoping that it would sooner. What if she says no? What if she takes one step out and decides she never wants to do it again?"

As if summoned, the door opened, and she strode in, hanging her pack up on a hook beside the door. "I'm back, sorry it took so long. Usually filing my updated charts takes no time at all, just drop them off and be on my way." She unfastened her toolbelt, before carefully hanging it beside the pack. "But then Vorgoth was there, and of course he wanted to chat. He's concerned about the presence of Venatori skulking around, and says the fact they're able to use blood magic to manipulate the Necropolis's configurations is very disturbing. 'SUCH THINGS ARE FORBIDDEN. THEY SHOULD HUNTED DOWN AND EXTERMINATED.'" She did an admirable job of mimicking their dark bass voice as she began taking off her boots. "So I told him I'd- I mean we would look into it." She looked up at him, "I mean, if you want to go. No pressure, I just want to make sure that you're okay with…" She trailed off as she got a good look at him, the fact he wasn't wearing just his inner wear as he usually did, preferring to don his travelling robe. "What's going on?"

He straightened up, trying his best to hide his anxiety under a veneer of confidence. "My dear, I was hoping that tonight we could go on a little… excursion. To the surface." He saw her tense up, her eyes widening and the colour draining her face. "Nothing too strenuous!" He clarified, worried he was already scaring her off, "Just a small walk towards the Necropolis Outer Gardens! I know it will be quiet, peaceful, and most importantly, dark. Just so it won't be too much of a jarring experience for you. And…" he continued, attempting not to sound frantic in his efforts to persuade her, "if you feel at any time that you are becoming uncomfortable, we can return to the Necropolis post-haste, no judgement." He let the offer linger in the air, hoping against hope that she'd take it.

She bit her lip, her hands still on her boots, as if she was about to yank them off and flee into her room. She took a deep breath, swallowed, and looked at him.

"You promise? No judging?"

"I would never think less of you for knowing your limits."

"Is this a date?"

Emmrich sputtered. He hadn't intended for this to be anymore than a friendly outing, but now that he looked at it, it looked like a picture perfect version of a date. A private outing, just the two of them, with snacks and to go stargazing. In any other situation, it would be hard to see it as anything other than a date.

"It wasn't… It wasn't my intention to preposition anything…"

She chuckled, and pulled her boots back on. "It's okay Emmrich, I was just ribbing you. I'll… I'll try it."

—JACK & JOKER: U Steal My Heart ♠ 09.09.2024

[sunny-knight]

allow me to elaborate because this twig Ringmaster and himbo Skeleton consume my every waking thought

The most painful thing about being a fan of a thing that isn't finished yet- is that these characters could easily be so screwed over in the future. I TRUST THAT WON'T HAPPEN but it's still a possibility that keeps me up at night.

Im scared that Caine and Papyrus spesifically won't live up to my lizard hyperfixation brain expectations because NO MATTER HOW BADLY I WANT IT TO BE TRUE- Their stories do not revolve around them, and other plots exist.

Papyrus could easily just be a one note character in Deltarune, not show up at all, or just in general not be important to the plot. Then Caine could easily just be an antagonist that either doesn't get a chance to be better, or be cast off to the side in the end in favor of the humans escape

But!!! Deltarune and TADC are GOOD media, they wouldn't set up a plot just to not follow through, would they??

...

I PRESENT TO YOU, WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY DID TO SPINEL

STEVEN UNIVERSE IS VEEERY GOOD AND WELL WRITTEN, AND ALL THAT, But Spinel specifically got SO fucked over in the end, I'M STILL NOT OVER THAT

And okay, I'm not THAT into steven universe, I like the the shows/movie, but im not OBSESSED, so apologies if I commit a sin by criticizing this part of the series because I havnt analyzed the entire thing inside and out…BUT SPINELLLL!!!!!!!!!

The entire movie, Spinel was set up to be a PHENOMENAL character, she had incredible development, a horrifically traumatizing but wonderful backstory, amd them she got sent to have ANOTHER codependent relationship that she’s only a part of because they remind each other of their own PAST god awful relationship- THE ENTIRE POINT WAS SET UP TO BE “YOU SHOULD NEVER LET YOURSELF BE ATTACHED TO SOMEONE SO GREATLY YOU PUT THEM ABOVE YOUR OWN SELF WORTH” 😭😭😭😭 and then in future she was just treated as a nuisance and got mostly ignored and entirely mischaracterized- MY POINT BEING, SET UP DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING UNTIL THE MEDIAS GET TO THE PUNCHLINE

it's even worse because Spinel was JUST in the movie and future show, I got to see the fall out in mainly one sitting, I am AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT RN ABOUT CAINE AND PAPYRUS, AND WE WON'T GET ANSWERS IN AT LEAST 2 YEARS

Anywho :3 I'm enjoying these 2 media's despite the panic and overwhelming sense of dread they give me, and I trust they'll destroy me again and again. And even if they don’t live up to my own personal tastes and expectations, that does not mean anything on the people who put their entire soul into making them real, and I love all art ❤️❤️❤️

Except for like racist and sexist and trans phobic- hateful art. We dont like that ☝

being a papyrus fan while also being a caine fan counts as psychological torture, it think

[lloydfrontera]

i also like to think that as children javier and og lloyd got locked in a toxic cycle where javier felt like he had to. make up. for og lloyd's bad behavior. like a part of him recognized that his presence in the household was causing og lloyd to act up even worse than he already did normally and he tried to make up for the trouble he 'caused' by being as good of a kid as he could. and this in turn made og lloyd hate him even more because he saw it as an attempt to make him look like a worse son by comparison and that made him act up even more. and then the cycle repeats.

Personal post incomming <3 (after this one)

The upcomming post is going to be very personal. I feel very comfortable in this community, and with my self-insert I'm sharing a big part of my actual self - of the person behind this account. I'll be introducing myself in a more honest and reflective way, almost a huge contrast to how I usually come across ^^" But I'm still very cheerful while doing so and there's a lot of humor in it!! so... nothing to worry abt x3

I'm beyond grateful to be able to express myself here in a way i honestly can't anywhere else. I'll never stop doing that. Y'all are stuck with me and my yapping and my antics- Okay wait, I sounded way to serious up there, lemme do it try again:

FELLAS, MY NEXT POST IS ABOUT MY SELF-INSERT. I YAPPED TOO MUCH AND IT GOT VERII PERSONAL - and kinda serious idk how that happened- oopsie, ANYWAYS it's gonna be long as hell and filled with my heart and soul

I just wanted to give you all a heads-up before you get jumpscared by me (again. what's new???)

It's basically going to be me introducing myself. Dw tho; it's nothing dramatic or sad :3 just me going "HI! This is me! :3" but this time not as El but as Em, aka me-me, the real one, you know-

tl;dr: Silly as always, posting my self-insert soon, post will be long, I overshared and revealed my soul. whoopsie! (^^ゞ

I'm so fucking excited!!!

^ actually me

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?

I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.

Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.

Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.

Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.

Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.

Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.

If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.

So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.

i've been diving a lot deeper into adhd symptoms and comorbidities and misdiagnoses and whenever i tell my boyfriend something i learned that sounds like me he responds with something like

We are all afraid of something...

I wonder what Prince Gumball's biggest fear would be?

There's an episode (Five short tables I think) where it shows that he's afraid of dying alone/his own mortality to some extent. I imagine that because he's long-lived and most likely has watched many people die before him, he's scared that there won't be anyone else by *his* side when it's his turn. There's no way of knowing when or how, he wouldn't be ready for it, so that's probably double scarier for him. He's an anxious fella
