#and like she's not a good person. BUT OMG SHE'S SUCH A GOOD CAPTIVATING INTERESTING CHARACTER!!!

[screwoffdotnet]

ok here's my thoughts: I think people rag on Carrie so much because she reminds them of all the embarassing things we do when we r crushing HARD. god forbid a woman be cringe

[thatoneawkwardfanthing]

Finally after a thousand years here's my thoughts on Golden Lilly. Definitely disjointed I listen to the audiobooks at work. Spoilers below obvi!

Sydney is once again a better person than I, I would have told them to let Keith rot in their weird cult prison. Speaking of weird cult, the whole thing with keeping that guy captive is ... Interesting. Shout out Adrian being into Le Mis, couldn't be me tbh. Dimitri being a good man we love to see it. I low-key forgot Angeline and the Keepers existed but she's quite interesting. To be fair, it is her first time in modern society so she's obviously gonna have a hard time adjusting. She's giving cookie monster pajama pants in the best way so far. Jill dating Mason's lookalike has gotta be hell on poor Eddie. Not gonna lie, there's some chemistry between Sydney and Trey, but him trying to set her up is cute too. The guy is in fact perfect for her, if a little boring. Her constant mentions of how pretty Adrian's eyes are is really a mood, he really is pretty. She's gotta get more used to the magic thing tho like, girlie you're working with two spirit user and your history teacher is apparently a witch. Okay no, Braden is like, really annoying. Such an erm actually. He's also boring as shit. The vampire hunters are gonna be interesting and Trey is ABSOLUTELY one of them. Angeline throwing hands at the motivational theater troupe is hilarious I love her so much. The fashion designer chick definitely has ulterior motives too. Adrian being so down bad for Sydney that it bleeds through the bond is such a mood, she is pretty amazing. Like, he bought a classic car he can't even drive just to impress her. He wants that cookie so fucking bad. OH NO BADDIE DOWN SONYA NO. Will these two just kiss already, jesus. I really went from "idk Sydney just gives aroace vibes" to "I want these two to make out sloppy style" in like, half a book. I KNEW IT HE'S ONE OF THEM AND HE WAS THERE!!! At least he feels bad about it bc Sonya is a good person dammit! This whole thing is stressing me out I don't want anything bad to happen to her. The little moment with Adrian before made me scream omg JUST KISS ALREADY I'M DYING. I knew they'd find some way to track her and seeing her start to de-construct her beliefs is so good. Especially since THEY KISSED BAYBEE!!! Glad she and Braden broke up he was a weirdo. Fully on board the Sydrian train now

i knew you'd come to me tonight | kaeya

After a night at the symphony, Kaeya finds himself asking you out on a date.

A/N: omg!! berry writing about someone that's not alhaitham?? unbelievable, absolutely impossible!! fun fact; kaeya was my og man to thirst for before alhaitham came :D rusty writing ahead!! GN reader, do let me know if I slipped up and used he/she/anything else that isn't GN.

Divider by @/osqrie

Kaeya didn't think he belonged in a place like this.

A reasonably sized orchestra ensemble was on the stage in front of him. Every man, woman and child were adorned in stylish and luxurious suits and dresses, topped with extravagant accessories. The crowd's eyes were glued to the performers. Only a few young children and teenagers - whom he assumed were forced by their parents to tag along - were dozing off, some even full on asleep.

He looked down at his attire. He always thought of himself as a cooler guy, with bolder fashion sense than a typical suit and tie. Of course, it mattered not if the people around him agreed with this personal take. He wasn't particularly bothered. If anything, the fact that he was dubbed as one of the two 'most wanted and sought after bachelors of Mondstadt' only assured him of the positivity of the public's opinion about him.

The orchestra eventually ended the somewhat upbeat piece. Applause from the crowd roared throughout the hall, but Kaeya wasn't contributing to the noise. He was adjusting the tie that seemed too tight on his neck. Even after decades of living in the Ragnvindr family's home, he still felt constricted in formal gear that he would call 'uptight'.

The crowd eventually calmed down for the final piece of the night. Most of the attendees of the show were here for this one performance. A special performance, accompanied by the beloved singer of Mondstadt, [Y/N]. Adorned in their most beautiful clothes yet, the audience once again filled the room with their cheers. Some, both men and women, were even yelling out their name, hoping for their gaze to land upon them.

The singer seemed used to all of the attention they were getting, but Kaeya swore he could see a glint of something else in their eyes. Perhaps it was the way their smile didn't reach their eyes. A shy person with a beautiful singing voice that easily captivated the nation's hearts, quite the interesting combination. He couldn't take his eyes off the figure on the stage, who scurried off after a few moments.

He decided that it wouldn't hurt to see that shy singer around. That shy smile never looked as beautiful on anyone else compared to on you. Feeling somewhat satisfied, he left the concert hall with a smile tugging on his lips.

--

Kaeya's boots clicked against the pavement of Mondstadt City's streets. Stood in front of the Knights' headquarters in no time, his keen eyes couldn't help but observe a rather unusual sight.

A person was hiding behind the bushes surrounding the building. He could see the cautious stance the person had while ducking behind the bushes. He couldn't help but chuckle at the comical scene he was seeing.

"Where are they?" "Ah, I could've sworn they turned here a moment ago!" A reasonably large group of citizens came into his view. Their eyes frantically searching here and there, for what - or who - he had no clue. He kept silent until one of them approached him. A man with blonde hair, presumably in his early 20's, started the conversation.

"Cavalry Captain Kaeya! Oh, what good timing to run into you now."

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is there a problem you might've gotten yourself into?"

The man shook his head eagerly, eyes lighting up before continuing. "Actually, no. But have you seen [Y/N]? We swear we saw them turning the corner here, towards the Knights' headquarters." As he ended, the group of citizens flocked over to the captain, eager for a positive response.

It was Kaeya's turn to shake his head. "I'm afraid no. You're better off searching for them elsewhere." He waved them off dismissively, much to their disappointment. The captain waited for their footsteps to disappear from hearing range, before approaching the occupied bushes.

He took careful steps, not wanting to alert the person. "[Y/N], is it? You can come out now. Your fans aren't here to chase you down anymore." He spoke with gentleness, none of his usual smugness present. The bushes rustled for a bit before the person in hiding decided they could trust this man.

"Thank you...Cavalry Captain. How...can I ever repay you?" [Y/N] couldn't even look into his eyes, but still wanted to repay him. 'How adorable,' he chuckled to himself. A genuine smile bloomed on his lips; he had the perfect idea of how you could 'repay' him.

"Before we talk about that," he began, "let's drop the formal title and just call me Kaeya, eh?" Your eyes widened significantly. That was the somehow the least expected yet most expected answer from him all at once. You nodded slowly, as if hesitant. That was good enough for him.

"A date, at the Angel's Share perhaps? We don't need to drink alcohol if you don't want to. My treat. What do you say?" He held out his right hand to you, lips shut tight. If you had observed him a bit closer, you'd notice the slight tremble in his hands. He was nervous for a reply. Your reply.

To his surprise, you put your hand into his. His smile broke out into a full-on grin. "Oh, I'm the happiest man alive in Mondstadt! Would you like me to pick you up?" You shook your head at that.

"I-I'll meet you there...8 pm?" Kaeya had no objections. The way he nodded so quickly at every word you uttered was probably showcasing his small crush on you.

"I'm looking forward to tonight."

He waved goodbye before entering the Knights' Headquarters.

--

The hands on his watch showed him the time: 7.58 pm. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It was rare that a man so desirable and loved by many like him to turn up before the promised meet up time with anyone. Even Diluc was surprised to see him, if the way his eyes glared sideways at Kaeya was anything to talk about.

"What are you doing so early here? It's not the usual time to see your unsightly face here in my property."

"Ah, you're too cold-hearted, brother. Melt it down a little, and maybe you could score yourself a date...like me."

Kaeya's face was devoid of any obvious signs of emotion, yet Diluc swore he could hear the smirk in his words.

"Who?"

"Just the most talented person here...[Y/N]."

"Are you sure they will turn up? They're known to not show up on dates. Which, I don't blame them. I don't think they would like to spend alone time with a complete stranger that knows everything about me and keeps saying 'I'm your number one fan!'."

"Oh, I have the utmost belief that they will."

"Whatever you say."

Diluc huffed under his breath before turning back to clean the dishes behind the counter.

--

8 pm, 8.15 pm, 8.30 pm. Not even your shadow was spotted around the tavern. Seeds of doubt were starting to sprout in the captain's mind, but he ignored them nonetheless. It was a bit difficult to do so, especially with the burning stare of his brother shooting right into the back of his head.

With the intention to clear his mind, Kaeya stepped out of the tavern. Perhaps the cool breeze of the night could calm him down. He was sure. He was sure you would turn up. He was so sure...

But for what?

Now that he thought about it, why was he so sure? Technically, he was a stranger in your eyes. Maybe it was because he wasn't like your fans who knew every detail from the hairs on your head to the tips of your toes? Surely you would accept him; or maybe he was just overconfident in himself...

Huffing out a breath, his feet started to move and took him away from the tavern. His eyes were glued to the pavement, he didn't want anyone to see the sadness in them.

Out of nowhere, the sound of quick footsteps were heard. They seemed to come from in front of him, as if they were running. Before he could raise his head to see the commotion and possibly avoid it, he felt the impact of a body colliding with his.

"Ouch!"

The two yelped. As Kaeya had a pretty strong build, he wasn't taking the blow too hard. His eyes opened...only to see you. You looked stunning as you bathed in the moonlight.

He couldn't tear his eyes away, until you let out a small whine.

"Ha~ my outfit! I spent so long wanting to look perfect today, too..."

As you were complaining, you felt a pair of arms envelop you in a hug. Seeing the familiar dark blue hair was enough to tell you who it was.

"Cap-captain..! I mean, Kaeya..?"

"Oh, I was worried sick for nothing. I knew you'd come to me tonight." He spoke with so much emotion in his voice. You could definitely hear the dominant feeling of gratitude in his voice, mixed in with bits of relief and perhaps even...happiness? You felt your cheeks heat up, the heat eventually spreading to your whole face. Whatever he meant by that, it got your heart racing.

"Sorry I'm late. I was just..."

He kept his embrace on you. It wasn't tight, but wasn't loose either. If you had to describe it, it felt like a perfect hug. Almost.

"Kaeya, um...we're still sitting on the pavement here?"

"Oh, right. Silly me."

He snapped out of his trance, immediately letting go of you. He stood up before you could, holding out his hand to pull you up. You gladly took it. The both of you stared into each other's eyes. Perhaps, the love bug had bitten not one, but two today..?

A scoff. "What a great first date impression, brother."

"Oh, you absolutely didn't have to ruin it like that, Diluc!"

Thank you for reading!

[makedonsgriva]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

Omg hi! First of all thanks for asking! I haven’t answered this question before and I absolutely do not mind answering this. This is a tough one though because I’ve consumed so much media and love so many characters it’s so difficult to choose but I will give it a shot nonetheless. Also these ten characters are not in any particular order.

Laurent Of Vere: Laurent is introduced as the frigid and dangerous prince of Vere in the book 1 of the captive prince trilogy. I HATED this man on my first reading but as the trilogy progressed, I just fell in love with him. He had an astounding amount of growth and character development. Not to mention his qualities and traits make him an all around admirable character. I may not be putting the characters in this list in order but Laurent is definitely my favourite character of all time.

Fleabag: Fleabag from Fleabag is another character I deeply love. She is funny, she is selfish, she is a tragedy of her own doing. It’s the way she is so deeply flawed yet so damn loveable at the same time that gets me. We are all fleabag at the end of the day aren’t we?

Baz: Baz from Carry On trilogy had to be here like the list won’t be complete without my poor little meow meow. He is one of those few characters who is very very close to my heart and it so hard to not love this dramatic gay vampire. Just love his snark and he is so funny??? I love it so much. Not to mention he truly is one of the kindest characters I’ve read.

Penelope Bunce: Another character from the Carry On trilogy. Penelope means the world to me because as a brown person, I don’t get to read a lot of books which feature brown characters. So seeing a character who is the best friend of the protagonist and has a major role in the series, it’s very refreshing and reassuring to me. Penelope is smart, stubborn, never admits she might be wrong but her growth over the three books is amazing. I will always love her.

Eren Yeager: literally one of the most tragic characters I’ve seen till date. As the protagonist (antagonist? anti hero? Idk anymore) of attack on titan, Eren is one of the most iconic characters I’ve come across till date. His unconditional devotion for his friends and his character arc from being the righteous hero to someone who becomes completely disillusioned by the end, it’s fucking amazing.

Geto Suguru: I have a beef with Jujutsu Kaisen and the reason is that Gege Akutami came up with absolutely amazing characters only to under-utilise and shit on their character arcs with his half assed plot. Surprisingly though, Geto’s character arc is amazing. I love it when heroes lose the sight of their goals and become the villains instead and Geto does that. His character development is really good and I love him for that. Incredibly realistic and refreshing to see.

Jiang Cheng: Jiang Cheng from MDZS remains one of the most relatable characters I’ve come across ever. Like I feel him on a spiritual level. The complexity and depth of his emotions, his actions, being so fucking good but never being good enough… good lord my heart straight up bleeds for him. I will always love Jiang Cheng.

Xue Yang: Hear me out okay. I know Xue Yang from MDZS is a psychopath. I’m not a Xue Yang apologist either. What he did to Xingchen was appalling to say the least. But Xue Yang is undoubtedly an incredibly well written character. He loved or should I say obsessed over XXC in such a sick and twisted way, it made for a very interesting read. The way he deluded even himself into believing that his extreme actions were all to torment XXC and not because he enjoyed his company and liked him… like girl be ffr right now who tf are you kidding. But yeah love me an insane psychotic gremlin.

Violet Evergarden: Violet from Violet Evergarden is one of the most heartbreaking characters I’ve come across and also one of the most unique. I’m a sucker for stories that tell the most human stories and Violet as a child soldier discovering these emotions, thoughts and vivid lives of people while coming to terms with her own trauma really gives her a special place in my heart.

Howl: Howl from Howls Moving Castle is one of my favorites because he is a hot babygirl. As simple as that.

Thanks so much for asking! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you but I hope you liked this list 💗💗💗

[sansaorgana]

Omg! I loved Thrown to the Wolves! I really liked how it was an actual story and not just smut. I can’t believe it’s over 🥲. I am going to definitely reread it! Great job!! I love how you made Feyd a deep character who is feral but can be so gentle! Loved it!!

Q1: was Lady Jessica really gonna kill the reader at the last chapter? What was their relationship?

Q2: what actually would have happened to the reader if Paul did live? I felt so bad about their relationship, but you brought a good point on how their original selves were gone due to needing to survive & power.

My own head-cannon: I think Feyd fell in love with the reader (through her pictures or in person) at first sight deep deep down.

And thank you for this great story!

thank you so much for your kind words, darling 😊 I kinda wish it had more smut 🥴 but I'm so slow with writing smut that I'd be stuck on chapter three more likely and I was impatient to write down the whole plot I was thinking of instead 😘

A1: I don't think Lady Jessica was thinking straight, she's just lost her only son and she was acting instinctively. However, my intention was for her to aim for Feyd who was dying but not yet dead so I guess she'd want to finish the job. I wanted the Reader to commit her first direct murder (especially such meaningful one as killing Lady Jessica who was her stepmother) to protect her husband 🥹 But after killing Feyd, I'm sure Lady Jessica would want to kill the Reader, too, to be honest.

A2: If Paul lived and Feyd died... 💀😭 Well, he didn't want to kill his sister but that was before she challenged him to a duel... However, I'm still not sure if he'd want her to die. I think he'd just humiliate her by forcing her to kneel down, give back the Atreides signet ring and pledge her allegiance to him as Baroness Harkonnen (although it would be empty words because real Harkonnens would not ever agree to that). Paul would never trust her, he'd keep her close but she'd be basically a captive. And her baby would be taken away from her and possibly 💀💀💀 so yeah, her life would be very miserable 😖

your headcanon is an interesting one 😁 I personally think there was some sort of attraction from the beginning indeed, because of her off-world looks and Feyd was excited to have a wife everyone else on Giedi Prime would be jealous of 😆 I'm trying not to write my Readers "so beautiful that everyone falls for them" because I don't find it realistic but in this case the shade of her skin and her hair were enough to make all men on Giedi Prime want her lol 😂

[weirdcat1213]

Hi....If you don't mind me asking, can I ask, what are your top 7 favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/etc) and your top 7 favorite (fictional) characters from any media? Why do you love them all? Sorry if you've answered this questions before......

Hello :D

omg i get to yell about things I like, exciting!

first im going to go with my top 7 in no special order cuz I would never be able to decide

Trigun (98, manga and stampede): I've talked WAY to much about this one but holy shit has impacted my life. The story, the characters, the pain THE SWEET SWEET PAIN MY GOD. It just mixes a lot of tropes/themes I really like. And we have 3 versions of it! How cool is that?

Steven Universe: again another classic. Discovered the show when I was young and it just grabbed my soul. Very formative and influential while I was growing up. So soft and p a i n f u l l as all thins should be :3. Plus the music is a banger. Like to this day ik songs from it. Favorite one is change btw.

Legend series (book series): no one paid attention to this series because it came out the same time as divergent and hunger games and other big titles. But I was! And it's still one of the best book series I've ever read. It totally has the 2013-2015 vibes (except for the latest one in the series, rebel) but it's....honest. not only because all the struggles in the book are real but also because the author really believes in her characters. She created them but also let them become people. Plus the writing is amazing and her description of specific moments and emotions UGH I have a huge post about it because of how cool it is. I still remember opening the first book and getting SLAPPED by the first line. Yes it's that good.

Signalis: newish game :D saw lesbians, saw violence and I was on board but I never thought the game would make me think and stare at the wall that much. So far I've played it 5 times and going for a 6th. It's so abstract and no one can decide on what's true or not but that's part of its beauty. Really clever and interesting game. Nothing is real, only lesbians with guns.

Our Flag Means Death: cool show that was about queer NOT IN THEIR TEENAGE YEARS??? IN THIS ECONOMY??? AND NOT ABOUT AIDS (sorry pose I still love you). Of course it won me over because of the queerness but also the characters themselves. It was nice to see myself in a lot of them, personality and racially wise. The fun gay pirates came to my house, destroyed my life and also gave me life. Easy as that.

Pose fx: don't like the main writer of the show too much but the rest of them ATE WITH THIS. A story about black queer woman PORTRAYED BY BLACK QUEER WOMEN. It deals with the aids crisis through the lenses of trans women and gay men but the thing in that show that blew me away was the love for femininity and the community they created around it. They actually took their abandoned and traumatized selves and became someone. They formed families that actual give support and I'm a sucker for found family. I've cried many times because I wanted Blanca to adopt me. 10/10 show about overcoming shit circumstances and the importance of community. What if I cried again.

Houseki no Kuni (manga and anime): weird manga that I've been following for YEARS because its so fucking good. The anime is beautiful and captivating af and honestly the whole thing needs to be analyzed by a Buddhist. it makes me want to learn about that religion so i can understand more. but yeah its sad, its hype, and once again its about gay rock MMM my favorite. you dont know the hours i spent looking for videos/animatic about it. hard to explain but i like to describe it as "human growth: the manga/anime"

Maybe it seems like I don't watch many movies and it's kinda true! I'm more of a shows person. but there are movies i like. maybe another day

Now onto my favorite characters but again I can't decide so this is in no special order. Also because I can't decide I'm giving the spotlight to characters that are not from the media mentioned above (for example if you dont see vash in here is because i yell about him enough like. 3 times minimum per month). Because I can. Because I'm normal about media and stories i like.

1.Steven (su): MY BOY MY MOON AND STARS. ok a lot of this list is about characters i relate to, but this one is the og. this mf is one of the kindest, awesome yet misunderstood characters of all time. theres so much rage and trauma in this little guy but there are many other feelings that get lowkey explored in the main show until BOOM the emotions explode in su future. its amazing how complex my son is. im so lucky that i got to grow up along side him in a way. and in another way it was nice to see myself kinda represented in him? fun times.

2.Tifa (ffvii): PRETTY RECENT BUT SHES THE COOLEST. ejem sorry. i love cloud, zach and the others from the game but tifa doesnt get the recognition she deserves. she survived so many tragedies and became stronger because of it. not only in body but also in mind. however she also became cautious and tries to not explode in front of others. she tries to be a safe place for people, even when shes scared. i think thats pretty admirable of her. i would say more but i dont want to risk spoiling the game but there are little moments and scenes where she just tries to be there for people because she has no one in her life anymore and fuck it makes me sad. also shes pretty hot-

3.Elektra (pose): MY QUEEN. shes just. evil sometimes. shes really a bitch to most of the characters but DAMN SHES COOL WHEN SHE IS. elektra knows she was born with a huge disadvantage in life so she grabs power like a mf and bites it. i kinda aspire to be that, to not let anyone get in my way. she just really speaks to the part of me that has bigger ambitions. but shes also smart and caring (when shes not being a bitch) and every time the world puts her down she stands up and kicks the world again. she's the power of femininity itself and yes i also think shes hot (i mean look at those cheeks of thunder) but shes like a fucking storm in a person and how i can not love that? We love poc people in power.

4.Phos (houseki no kuni): This fucking child (they're a child in my eyes) is so important to me for weird reasons. I got deep into hnk when I was in my sabbatical year. It was a time where I didn't know where I would go and phos seemed to be in a similar place. To this day it surprises me how ichikawa managed to create a "simple" character and then by all definitions made them human. I like their journey, the transformations they went through, the stages they went to cope or to confront their situation. Plus the design is pretty affff

5.Edward Teach (ofmd): I just.....really connected with this guy ok? The feeling of always being at the bottom so if you are going to rise your only option is to make people fear you but that's not true BOY HE LEFT NO CRUMBS WITH THAT WHOLE THING. he was just really cool when he entered the show and then it was "oh this guy is really fucked up actually" and he's so funny and MORE OLD POC QUEERS? FUCK YEAH. but i guess what puts him on top for me is how he explored himself and his needs. All that while being funny and tragic and gay. Really cool.

6.Anthy (revolutionary girl utena): MY DAUGHTER RRRRAAAAHHH. Anthy is a really tragic and complex character. to this day i cannot put together every reason why shes my favorite from utena. Shes tragic and my god the things she goes through break my heart every time I think about it but...shes also incredibly strong and funny and a weird keeping animals in her room. The creators did an excellent job showing her lack of agency and how she already had given up, but also showed her humanity and wish to retain things in her life that gave her joy. And movie anthy? That girl is a no nonsense girl. She will get her girlfriend no matter what from the people who abused her. She left that fucking school as a mature, smart and kind adult. We fucking stan.

7. Richard (requiem of the rose king): another recent acquired son. Idk why this one hit so much and honestly for how short the manga is (79 chapters) they did such a good job with him???? Banger themes and metaphors, banger character moments, banger GENDER moments. I've seen a few people not being able to take him seriously but idk, ir sounded honest and serious to me. A kid who has been told since birth they were a demon became one to survive but not really. Because no one with his wish can fully be a demon. Idk maybe it's cheesy but his quest for love and acceptance was a banger in my eyes (please read the manga. We can leave the anime behind). Also I like him cuz he's cool and is a character I CAN ACTUALLY COSPLAY THANK GOD-

AND THOSE ARE SOME CHARACTERS AND SOME PIECES OF MEDIA I LIKE :D IF ANYONE WANTS MORE PLS ASK.

Even if TEMPEST | Otome Game Review

Hii!! Cheers to my second review 🥳

‼️ BEFORE YOU READ THIS: BEWARE OF SPOILERS!! MASSIVE SPOILERS ‼️

Okay okay so this has to be one of my FAVS!!! AHHH like I wish this otome was longer 😩 I love how intense and every sec puts me in the edge of my seat. The plot was SO CAPTIVATING FOR ME and even the characters. There wasn’t a lot of romance overall but the plot makes up for it! I’m the type to like the plot over the romance and this otome definitely did it for me! I loved the heroine, she’s so strong and brave and it made the whole plot so much better with her being her. The guys were *chefs kiss*. They were finneeeee.

Basically to summarize it in my words (not the best of summarizing)… she lives in a household where she was neglected and bullied all her life by her family. She lives in this run down room but one day she gets told that she will marry this crown prince (Conrad) but ends up dying in her *first life*. She meets this kid in the afterlife (?) and he tells her to help him catch the witch of the ruin (aka the villain of the game) and gains the ability to rewind time. Through all the rewinding, she makes friendships, relationships, etc. But in every route, we see so many crazy events that happen with the other side characters. We are immersed in a dark fantasy world filled with intrigue, mystery, and romance~

There are 4 love interests:

CRIUS CASTLEROCK

TYRIL I LISTER

ZENN SORFIELD

LUCIEN NEUSCHBURN

The recommended route to play: Crius ➤ Tyril ➤ Zenn ➤ Lucien ➤ ???

The route I enjoyed from most to least: Zenn ➤ Tyril ➤ Lucien ➤ Crius

⏳ Crius

Soooo he was the first route I played and woweee he sooo fine heheh but I overall did enjoy this. I do not remember much since I did play this game a while ago but all I remembered was how protective he is. He is also popular with the ladies and her mentor teehee. But there was this scene where he asked the heroine to take care of a bird and she finds out the girl bird is pregnant. There wasn't a lot of romance but it was a great start to the whole plot itself. The ending was so sad aaaaaaa!! When you finish his route, you get thrown into Tyril's route :)

⭐️ Rating: 2/5

⏳ Tyril

OH YES I LOVEDDDD his route so much. He is the investigator (not sure what the right name is called) but the person that judges and holds the investigation. He looks mean but he is sweet and is only sweet to her. He slowly falls in love with how fast and well she works and oh mah goodness... we find out he’s some ninja and he works with Conrad (this ugly spoiled prince that kills our girl in her first life). The reason is because he is devoted to following the descent of the goddess or something (but we find out Conrad and his family are FAKES). Sorry, I do not remember a lot but the gist of it 😭 The ending was so sad for him... :( but omg at the end of the game, when he finds out that she’s the goddess, he was so shocked and his attitude changed so quickly BAHAHA he’s so polite to her at the end.

⭐️ Rating: 4/5

⏳ Zenn

HANDS DOWN MY FAV!!! And look at him. HE SO HANDSOME AND GOOD LOOKING LIKE 😻😻! I was interested in him from the start because every time our girl rewinds, he would switch his roles. Turns out he remembers EVERY time the time rewinds and at first he thought our girl was the witch or working with the witch of the ruin. But no instead he falls in loveeee with her and tells her that he is from a different world (aka Japan). He protects her when she falls victim to the witch and helps her win the witch trials hehehehhehehe I absolutely loved him. He also can’t die because he is stuck in the world and has been trying to find his way back home. I think he was a baseball player (correct me if I’m wrong since my memory is hazy). But he is mah man 🙌

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⏳ Lucien

AWWWW the prince. He dies so many time when I was playing the other route but you reach him last due to the plot. He have always liked her because they were childhood friends. At first, we saw him as a weak and crybaby prince but as you progress the route, you notice Lucien started to change and became more of a leader and fit for the throne. He is wholesome and cute 🥹 and I just wish there were more cute scenes with them together!

⭐️ Rating: 3/5

⏳ ???

This is just the common end once you finish all the routes but 1. I HATED CONRAD >:( and 2. Maya is so cute and I love her. Maya is her maid and she been through thick and thin for Anastasia. The ending was basically the witch of the ruin loses and our girl meets the goddess and was like I am my own person, I am not like you, which is so BADASS (I love her so much) and yeah perfect ending. I lowkey want a route for the witch of the ruin because he saur fine and all he wanted was the goddess to come back. He a loyal boy but uhhh his ways were odd HAHAH. But I loved this game so much and I could not put it down!!!

[kuroppiii]

hiiii omg i saw ur a film nerd in ur about me post and so am i !! whats ur favourite movie/s :P

hello!!! and yes omg i always LOVE answering this question lmao so first and foremost:

my letterboxd top 4 <3 !

( explanations and honorable mentions under the cut ! )

1. little women (2019)

watched it with three of my best friends when it first was in theaters so that definitely added to the message and experience watching it. i love how greta gerwig directed the sister dynamic. she’s gone on record on interviews and also if you can find the screenplay itself that in the script the actors’ lines were written on top of one another to reflect the spontaneity and chaos of sisterhood and family through the film’s dialogue. so genius?!?! this adaptation just felt so real and genuine and i also see a little of myself in all the sisters 🫶

2. challengers

UGH i did like a whole deep dive here but in short: luca guadagnino you absolute mastermind. i love tennis, i love colorgraded film and photography, i love hot people!!!! story was insane, i quite literally had to sit in my car for like half an hour just processing when i got out the movie house before i felt normal enough to drive home lol.

3. emma (2020)

again i did a thorough tedtalk on this one. but i’m a big jane austen fan!!! and the aesthetics and score on this adaptation were just off the charts and so so lovely. love the regency era and i think they translated it to screen in a very appealing and classic (although maybe not entirely historical but hey it’s art) way. i’ll always come back to it as my comfort movie ngl.

4. call me by your name

amazing story. (not a love story mind you!!!) which is actually why it stuck with me sm bc i went in with my hopeless romantic self just to be fuckin crushed. watched it two summers ago and it took me like weeks to recover, it broke my heart in a way that felt so good. also just a downright beautiful film all around (colorgrade, cinematography, acting, music, everything!!). in guadagnino we trust!!!

honorable mentions:

watching the detectives (!!!)

lucy liu and cillian murphy? ummm FUCK YES? my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE in the romcom genre to date. they just match each other’s freak. and the whole movie is abt being film nerdy and awkward and weird and manic pixie dream girl and like lowk…. so ro-core fr!

shape of water

ok don’t call me a freak, it was pretty interesting— from the aesthetics, to the minimal dialogue, to the overall story. it’s a doozy but imo that shit was art. (or guillermo del toro was the real freak all along)

spirited away

my fav ghibli film bc it’s just so haunting in a way none of the other ghibli films are and i like that. like the way some of those characters were drawn was lowk gross—but i find that kinda gnarly. so over the top fantastical it makes my brain tingle in a certain way.

isle of dogs

my fav wes anderson film in both stop motion or live action (my fav live action of his was the most recent asteroid city tho!). truly art and has such a heartwarming story but at the same time the DRAMA. my lord. crazy how captivating the story was even if half of it was in largely unsubtitled japanese—unique choice but i actually liked what it added to the movie a lot especially considering the movie’s pov from an english-speaking dog. i’m actually a big cat person but i finished that movie so convinced that fuck yeah that dog is man’s bsf right there

the amazing spiderman movies

andrew garfield’s spiderman is my fav <3 but also i love the darker feel to this version of spiderman. maybe it’s bc i’m also a big batman/dc fan (sorry my marvel babes </3) and generally those movies have been handled with a more dark tone. but nonetheless andrew garfield is hot too so that’s a plus!

cruella

i’m lowk a disney hater but this movie was SO. CUNTY. fuck i loved it. the actors were amazing and the visuals and the FASHION were just mwah, especially compared to other disney live action films (😭).

maleficent & maleficent: mistress of evil

AGAIN, SO FUCKING CUNTY even if i’m a reluctant disney enjoyer. i watched the first installment when i was real young but in 3d at the movie house. SO COOL. watched the second one with my mom at home. IMMEDIATELY WATCHED IT AGAIN. angelina jolie is maleficent, n i love how these movies characterize the villain in such a genuinely human way i don’t think anyone could’ve seen coming when these babies first came out.

ok thats it finally 💋

[rollercoasterwords]

hi rae how are uu!!!

i was reading about mulvey and the female gaze and i remembered you saying something about how it pushes bioessentialist agendas but i don't remember what u said exactly so do you mind sharing a piece of ur mind about this again

also!!!!! i've read captive prince with ur influence and then read ur laurent's pov rewrite and god!!!!! it was so so good it brought me to tears and made me laugh out loud and scream into my pillow at times... the first book didn't stick out to me that well but afterwards?? their dynamic is everything i was missing in life. also reading the first book in laurent's pov was an otherworldly experience, him getting surprised to see damien isn't the definition of all things evil like he thought ahhhh u captured him perfectly i think

also read all for the game series (saw a fanart of neil in ur blog and it kickstarted me getting into yet another fandom) and i was like wtf is this and then later i was like wtf is this but in a positive way. now the characters are all my babies (except kevin like yes i understand his struggles and all but i still see that guy as a little bitch which is a bit ironic when andreil are the biggest bitches to exist but still)

also binge-watched iwtv and goddddd gays with communication problems who happen to be vampires i love them all sm <333 do u have a fav character i wonder AND any thoughts on the last episode?

anyways i hope life is treating you kindly much kisses and good wishes <3

hi i'm good hope ur doing good as well!! such a fun message hang on let me take this piece by piece...

mulvey's male gaze the bane of my existence lmao...yeah the entire theory is rooted in bioessentialism. basically mulvey is basing her theory in freud who assumes that the categories 'father' 'mother' 'son' and 'daughter' are stable + static & therefore assumes that the categories 'male' and 'female' are stable + static biological categories which engender inherently different psychic/interior qualities. mulvey's entire argument hinges on the idea that men will be categorically unable to relate to/empathize with/see themselves as women onscreen--this argument begins to break down when you start asking questions like 'how is mulvey defining 'men' and 'women'? is she defining them, or is she assuming that they're static biological categories? are they static biological categories?' also i disagree with the idea that people are categorically unable to identify with characters across sex and/or gender & think it's kinda dumb tbh. to be fair, mulvey's theory was meant to apply to a pretty specific context and has largely been taken out of that context in ways that are very annoying but not necessarily her fault; still, when the original theory is so rooted in bioessentialism i don't really find any of it useful.

anyway. moving on to the fun stuff captive prince omg!! so glad u enjoyed the series & my own take on laurent...it was SO fun trying to get inside his head & imagine what would have been going on in there i love him so much <3 <3 tricky to write tho bc i was definitely trying 2 walk the line of like. not diminishing/excusing laurent's cruelty while simultaneously showing why he acts the way he does in the first book...abuse as cyclical etc...

and aftg lol such a trip...wtf is honestly an accurate response it's a wild ride but so much fun <3 & not liking kevin...valid honestly i like him but i also don't care abt him that much compared 2 the other characters...u should read 'the sunshine court' at some point it's abt jean & it will probably make u like kevin even less lmao

& finally. iwtv!!!!!!!! i've been obsessed w that show the past few weeks i just binge watched season 1 & have now been watching season 2...SO fucking good omg. personally my favorite character is. armand <3 idc what he does they could never make me hate him...last episode was soooo good claudia is my second-fave character just a smidge after armand i truly think her story is probably the most interesting + tragic out of all of them like. makes me feel a bit crazyinsane thinking abt it BUT her & madeleine. oh my goddddd that scene broke me. don't have many more coherent thoughts currently other than wailing + tearing my hair out etc but i am having a great time nonetheless...

anyway thank u 4 the message love catching up life has been busy but mostly treating me kindly hope it's doing the same for u!! <3

[moonfromearth]

List 3 of your favorite sims from other simmers you enjoy and explain why (Send this to 10 other blogs 💖💖)

omg thank you sooo much for this ask it was so hard to narrow it down to just three!! Honestly my favorites change so often because I have so many it's a constant rotation on who gets to be in the top spots 😆

Anyway, my current pics would be...

Poppy Belanger by @panicsimss - I am loving her story so much and I think she's such an interesting character that I'm excited to see more of and her backstory is so tragic it definitely had me feeling ~emotions~ which is always good in a story I think.

Helena Zhao by @charmingmushroom - Okay all the posts for Helena Zhao is Dead have been so pretty and I love the balance of gameplay and posed shots it's honestly how I personally like to put together posts so it's so inspiring, but the lead herself is definitely so captivating to me and I love seeing her journey and the buildup to how she, well, died (also makes me want to work on some benched vampire sims' stories...).

Zelda Darlington by @aheathen-conceivably - There are not enough words to describe how much I love all of the Darlingtons, but Zelda's story has just taken on an amazing level of depth from her leaving her family and home to her adventures in New Orleans it's all just so beautiful and I've loved seeing her development I will cry when her generation is over as excited as I am to see where the story will go.

Aaaand I'll cheat add a bonus for favorite Harper (because I could have a whole other list for them)... I think my favorite is still Leo but Maria is climbing the list suuper fast I've really loved her gen and I hope there's some way to bring her back from the dead because I can't 😭😭

[luaspersona]

oof ok, this review definitely took way longer than i anticipated, but there was so much i wanted to talk about that i couldn’t help myself. so let’s go!

i realized midway through the story that this was the first one-shot i’ve read from you, and i wasn’t familiar with the way you dealt with longer formats, so it kinda felt like i was falling in love with your writing all over again. 

just… ugh, your characterization? every person here is so interesting and captivating, but your take on jin might be the best on i’ve encountered, the closest to what i suppose he’s like in rl, like, their banter, their dialogue, his corny ass jokes but his ultimate softness and care… aaaa it was so fucking good 😩

and i mean, every dialogue was amazing, but their first talk? especially when she relaxes and realizes he won’t, in fact, kill her? the banter is P-E-R-F-E-C-T omg:

The vampire blinks once, twice. Takes a steadying breath and says, “I should’ve eaten you.” You shrug. “But you can’t, so.” Then your two brain cells connect. “Wait, does that mean all vampires can’t bite me? Am I immune? Is this my superhero origin story?” “It’s giving me a fucking migraine, is what it is.” You huff. “You’re avoiding the question.” “Because I don’t know the answer.”

like, he’s so real, so palpable, and so seokjin:

“Yeah. People pay a lot of money for it, and it’s not, like, illegal to bite someone consensually, so long as there’s proper documentation. And I’m really, really handsome, right, so people would pay a lot more money to get bitten by me, specifically.”

and you also have this amazing and mesmerizing control of pace. like, how you create the feeling of intimacy through time, and how you depict that time and make us feel it passing without the need to describe each event in detail because you’re a master at conveying feeling and impact — nevermind what happened, how did it make them feel?? and it makes the story so involving, i felt like i was seeing it unfold due to the RIDICULOUS the authority you have over pace and information (what to tell and when to do so). like the decision to use summary here and still be able to convey the feeling the mood of what happened:

It’s cold and it’s a long walk, takes the better part of an hour and that’s with a few shortcuts sprinkled in. Your companion talks the entire way, never shuts up even for a second, and you wonder if all vampires are as talkative as him or if you’d just run into one who’s kind of annoying but chivalrous and charming, somehow. He lends you his coat again and pops into the convenience store to buy you gloves and a cup of coffee. You jokingly ask if he bought them with money from his part-time rideshare gig and you learn he has a contagious laugh.

and their connection???????? this is straight up one of the best pairings i’ve ever seen. it feels like a domestic and mundane type of love, nevermind it being between a human and a vampire, but they liked each other in a simple way, in a domestic way that feels familiar even at the beginning, cus it’s like coming home, like the calm and peaceful of feeling of genuinity and no need to rush things cus you just know they are right, like in scenes like this:

He laughs again, harder this time, and you find yourself wishing you were funnier just so you can hear it all the time. Laughter looks good on him.

so fucking softtttttttt, the way they care for each other 😭:

Although he seems a bit more comfortable, he’s still obviously restless. Crooked fingers have been picking at the pilling of his sweater since he sat down. There’s a small pile of it on the floor, right at his feet, that he’s oblivious to. Not that you’re going to mention it, either, but the last thing you need is for Xander to eat it and hack up some disgusting combination of hairball and sweater fuzz, so when Seokjin isn’t looking you subtly push it under the couch with your foot.

it’s the subtle and domestic care for me:

Much to Seokjin’s relief, step one of Cohabitating With a Vampire is not going up against centuries of vampiric politics. Instead, you follow through on your promise and give him the passwords to all your streaming services.

here too:

And now it’s spring, so all you can do is lay in your bed with the windows cracked and wonder if every police siren you hear is because something awful has happened to him. Which is also stupid, because the man has superpowers, for fuck’s sake. He’s more than capable of taking care of himself, can do far better of a job than you could ever hope to, so there’s no sense in worrying. Still.

and here:

You level him with a stare even though his eyes aren’t open to see it. “I’m not talking about physically, you idiot. I mean, I do worry about you physically, but I worry more about you mentally and emotionally. You went through an incredibly traumatizing thing and you don’t talk about it.”

and also:

It’s not like that. Maybe it’s cliche to say he’s more important than whatever it costs to house him here, but it’s true. Simply being able to lay in bed, cool breeze streaming in from a cracked window, and hear Seokjin’s squeaky laughter and muffled voice as he talks to his stream—it’s priceless. You wouldn’t trade it for anything.

plus here:

You respond to Seokjin’s mistyped texts with the appropriate amount of interest and the occasional meme and you don’t push when his thoughts become less joke-y and more introspective. He asks your thoughts about the concept of found family, if you think people (and by people he means Prince Zuko) are capable of redemption or if sometimes someone can truly be too far gone.

but also how their relationship grow naturally:

Later on, after you’ve showered and are tucked into bed, a warmth spreads through your chest as you hear Seokjin say to his stream, nothing but affection in his voice, “Can you believe my best friend’s cat tried to murder me today?”

like when she realizes how much he’s inserted and burned into her routine atp:

You’ve grown so used to having him in your space, in your life. The thought of no longer hearing his ridiculous laugh from across the hall, still audible even with your noise-canceling headphones on? The thought of cooking dinner alone again. The thought of no longer coming home from work to find Seokjin napping on the couch, Xander curled up on his chest. It’s all unfathomable. Has your heart pounding wildly in your chest, and you know Seokjin can hear it, know you’ll probably have to examine all these feelings soon, but—

and here? i almost cried and filled a lawsuit istg:

Why can’t they? you want to ask. What can I possibly give you? But that’s… dumb. They’re questions you already know the answer to, especially when Seokjin’s looking at you like this: like you’re the only thing in his entire universe that matters. Like he’d trust you to lead him into war; trust you to keep him safe. That’s what all of this is truly about, isn’t it? Trust.

and the whole part about the valetine’s day was so AKJFWIBFKJLKCQENRV FUCKING HEART WARMING

but this part:

He’s crying. Two things happen before you even have a chance to breathe: you get tangled in the duvet and eat shit trying to scramble out of bed, and your hands are pressed to Seokjin’s cheeks, thumbing away the tears beneath his eyes. He heaves a sob and pulls you closer. Wraps those gangly arms around your shoulders and cries quietly into your neck. It all makes you feel a bit hopeless, but you know Seokjin feels safe. You know you’re a safe place for him. So you let him cry. Don’t ask what’s wrong, because you already know, have been waiting for it to hit out of the blue and all at once. There are only so many distractions. Even fewer that can bear the weight of a trauma like Seokjin’s.

honestly? it was my favorite, no doubt.

but besides that, you also have such a charming, enamoring way of approaching descriptions and telling things. it’s never said in an obvious way and the way through which you contextualize things is so interesting and captivating! like:

In a dark alley in between the club and a 24-hour convenience store as a tall, broad-shouldered man with long, very sharp teeth tries—and fails—to sink them into your neck. He coughs awkwardly, pulls back as he tightens his grip on your waist. Your back is pressed to his chest, so it’s not like you can see his face, but you think if you could there’d be a very perplexed look on it. “Well, this is awkward, huh?”

i mean lmaoooo 😭😭😭😭:

“Really?” you deadpan. “You really expect me to believe there are vampires out there moonlighting as Uber drivers?” He scoffs. “Well, we certainly can’t daylight as them, now can we?”

that’s so seokjin! but the reader is also so fucking funny:

See, you had the advantage of not being over two-hundred years old.

plus:

You’d stolen (more like permanently borrowed without prior consent, because stolen is such a loaded word) some spare equipment from work.

like, aren’t they the healthiest couple atp??:

Seokjin trusts you. Seokjin has allowed something solid and impenetrable to be formed between you, has helped create it. Now it’s time to trust him in turn—trust that he’s happy, safe, wants to stay here.

and that’s why they are so charming together:

“It means you’re a bona fide local celebrity, darling. The only person in this city immune to a friendly chomp. After my unfortunate excommunication, you were the talk of the vampire world for weeks. The two chaos demons will probably ask for your autograph.” Eyes narrow, you study Seokjin’s face. “I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me.” “I would never.” “That’s a lie.” Seokjin just grins.

and you also  make AMAZING analogies like aksakjhdka:

You’ll be a goner all because you had a brief, fleeting moment of stupidity, like the kid back in high school that always asked the teacher if they were going to collect the homework after they’d forgotten. Everyone hated that kid, and you’ve learned nothing.

now i just wanna make a lil hall of fame of writing choices, with no particular commentary about them:

“Hey now,” he says, doing his best to shush you. He already knows he’s in for a reaming for outing himself to a human; the last thing he needs is to be caught by anyone else. “Anyone would be lucky to murder you. You’re totally good enough! Don’t say things like that about yourself.”

and 😭😭😭😭:

“Not to mention,” you continue, a manicured finger jabbing into his chest, “you totally ruined my night. My friends dragged me out to celebrate me, you know? I finally got that promotion at work that should’ve been mine years ago, but my shitty boss gave it to Steve! Fucking Steve. But I finally got it, so my friends were like, ‘Oh my god, let’s go out to celebrate! We’ll buy all your drinks!’ Which—do you know how fucking cheap my friends are? They never pay for drinks! I was drinking on an unlimited tab, and you ruined it, you fucking dickhead! And I’m gonna have to go back to therapy!”

comparing seokjin to math tho that’s just mean:

The memory of him should’ve been lodged into an unused crevice of your mind—some dusty, cobweb-covered wrinkle that also housed lyrics to one-hit wonders from the ‘90s and the formulas for trigonometric ratios. Sine, cosine, and tangents may have been lost to the recesses of your mind forever, but Seokjin hadn’t.

alksjalk:

This is normally the part where you’d offer to make him something—coffee, a cup of tea, something bitter and alcoholic—but you’re not sure what he drinks other than blood. Which is not a thing you have outside of your body.

like she’s so indifferent at times lmao:

Nine-o’clock on a Saturday night. Previously alone in your apartment, because one near-death experience was enough to put you off clubbing for a while. A knock on your door. A mysterious man on the other side. He has sharp teeth. Once tried to use you as a chew toy. Grass is green, water is wet.

the forehead comment lmao so true: 

This is weird and not correct. Seokjin doesn’t stumble. He’s infuriatingly composed at all times, especially when he’s dressed to go out and leaves a bit of forehead showing. Then he’s really composed. Carries himself with an unshakeable arrogance that has you wondering how one’s forehead can wield so much power.

this made me sob:

“Jungkookie eats human food. He’s a vile little creature.”

and like, i loved that you left us with an open ending, even if i also like to think she eventually turned too. i can’t help but daydream and picture scenarios with this couple in the eternal life, with seokjin being his dorky forever self and reader matching his energy forever, with her care and her awesome personality lol

tbh i struggled a lot with this review, because i loved this story SO MUCH, but couldn't find the words to express it (that's why i'm mostly just quoting you). i think your writing is just so amazing and you're just so talented that it feels vain to actually try and analyze it somehow... but overall, thank you so much for writing this, cus i feel like it altered the way i view relationships and the idea of time and passion. slow and gradual things can also be super intense, and you made me feel loved through their love.

you suck! | ksj

(or, the one where everything goes very wrong but a lot more goes very right.)

→ pairing: vampire!seokjin x f. reader → genre: supernatural; strangers to lovers; roommates; crack, fluff → rating: explicit. minors dni. → warnings: swearing, alcohol consumption, mentions of sex work, taekook are also chaotic vampires, a lot of twilight references for someone who has never seen or read it, completely made up and non-canonical vampire lore, a teeny-tiny bit of angst, jin’s forehead has powers or something, jin takes dick pics on a polaroid (canon), one very purposely awkward smut scene that includes: slight praise kink, unprotected sex, oral, kissing. overall this is very soft and they are just two idiots very in love, your honor. → wordcount: 18.3k → a/n: i started this almost exactly a year ago after buying this print from @yelhsaart​ and becoming completely obsessed with it. i just wanted to write jin as a goofy, idiot (affectionate) vampire. as i said in the warnings, the vampire lore is completely made up here. some of it is canon, some of it is inspired by the wayhaven chronicles, some of it is just plot device. don’t take it too seriously. → thank yous: lauren, for once again being my beta and telling me when my brain writes sentences that don’t make sense. jess, for being born today — happy birthday, this is my lame and completely self-serving gift to you. bee, for always encouraging my chaos.

Ello! Sorry to bother but are you planning on doing a part 2 of The Ex Friend Luke Patterson x reader? The story plot is so good and feels good to continue

Luke Patterson isn’t used to any part of life as a ghost, let alone trying to figure out the drama between Julie and Carrie’s friends. However, he has a feeling that there’s more to Y/N L/N, Julie’s old friend, than meets the eye.

hi! omg i was JUST thinking about luke patterson, your timing is excellent

part one / masterlist / part three

Luke has never been more excited to go to a gig in his life. He’s been to his fair share of them, too- as a band just starting out, Sunset Curve attended high school band contests and jazz club open shows, watched guys performing in subway stations and stared at taped recordings of classic tours. Anything to learn something that might help them get ahead.

This time, though, Luke isn’t turning up to the jazz club down the street to help him get through yet another impossibly closed door, but to learn more about a girl he met a few days ago, Y/N L/N. A girl that, by some twist of fate, can see him even though he’s a ghost.

Luke doesn’t even know what to think. He’s excited, sure, and he’s talked over the whole thing with Reggie, Alex, and literally anyone within hearing distance just to get his thoughts in order. Is this a musician thing? A ghost thing? Could Y/N be interested in Luke for Luke, or because he’s her link to making things better with Julie?

Needless to say, he’s been stuck in his head for a while now. Luke’s mind feels like one key pressed down on the old electric keyboard that’s probably still tucked away in the back of the studio somewhere, playing the same whole note over and over again. His thoughts are looped around her name, never seeming to deviate for longer than a second.

It’s time to go now. Even though Luke can technically poof into the center of the club without a second thought, he takes the time to walk in through the doors and mingle with the crowd, almost as if he’s a normal person. If Luke is going to let himself pretend that he’s just a boy stuck tripping over a girl a ways out of his league, he can pretend he’s not a ghost, too. Anything to make this feel right.

Luke looks up at the stage area expectantly. A microphone stands by itself, and a faint light is directed towards it as if everything in this room, people and equipment alike, hover in place just waiting for Y/N to begin.

A matter of minutes later, she does. Y/N steps out amidst a wave of applause, and even though the club is packed full of people, her eyes seem to find Luke almost instantly. When she smiles, her entire face lights up and he is hooked on the sight.

Then she’s moving towards the microphone, and when their gazes are no longer locked Luke finds he can breathe a little easier, like his heart has finally been coaxed out of his throat. Y/N grabs a guitar from a stand, and after addressing the crowd, begins to sing.

If Luke thought he was lost on her before, he’s practically done for now. Luke has long argued that music is one of the best kinds of art, that even if he’s not a master painter or has his work hung up in a museum, he can still make people feel things.

Y/N is the best example of this that he’s ever seen. It’s not just the fact that her voice is superb (which it is) or that her guitar seems to sing with the voice of the angels (which it does), the thing that captivates Luke most of all is the words.

Luke can tell immediately that she’s singing from the heart, which is so hard to do in front of a crowd of strangers that he finds himself leaning forward as if drawn to her confidence alone. This is a girl who has held loss and love in the palm of her hand, cared for both, and watched them leave her equally in tatters. This is a girl that Luke could love, and he realizes that he might just manage it.

Luke has no idea how long Y/N’s gig lasts. It could have been ten minutes, it could have been ten hours. All he knows is standing there, listening to her sing. This is why he wants to dedicate his life to music, he thinks, so he can live in a moment like this forever.

He finds her afterward, stepping outside the back door of the club to get a breath of fresh air. At first, Luke rushes towards her, head still spinning with everything he wants to say, but they clog up in his throat and he finds he can’t manage a single word. It wouldn’t be as good as what he just saw, anyway, nothing could be as light or as pure.

Instead, he opens and closes his mouth before trying again. “You were really good out there.”

Yeah, not quite on the same level as those lyrics. Well, he tried.

To his credit, Y/N smiles anyway. “Thanks for coming. I was glad to see you.”

“I was glad to be here. I mean, I knew you could sing, but wow.”

Y/N raises an eyebrow. “Wow?”

Luke rolls his eyes. “You know what I mean.”

Y/N grins again. “Maybe I like seeing you try and defend yourself.”

Luke signs theatrically. “Maybe I like being seen in general. How is it that the only other live person who can actually see me just uses their ability to make fun of me?”

Y/N laughs. “I’m not the only one. Julie can see you, can’t she?”

There’s a faint unhappiness in her eyes when she says Julie’s name, one that leaves Luke stumbling. “You really don’t see Julie that often, huh?”

Y/N sighs. “I wish I could. She’s a good person, and I miss hearing her play. I’m glad that you’ve been able to convince her to take up music again.”

Luke nods slowly. “We’ve got another show coming up soon, you know. Maybe you could come visit me this time.”

Y/N’s smile is electrifying. “I’d love to come. I’ll see you soon, then.”

Someone from the jazz club calls Y/N to come help pack up the show, and after a few final goodbyes, she disappears back into the club. Luke is left watching her go, wondering how long he’s going to be stuck on her and why he doesn’t seem to mind it, not at all.

He especially doesn’t mind it when Y/N shows up to their next show. Even though she was able to talk to Julie for a while, the second she saw Luke after their performance her eyes lit up and she hurried over to him to talk about how much she enjoyed their show. It makes him feel good to think that she might have been watching him perform with the same level of thrill that Luke has with her.

Thus starts a chain of trade-offs, of switching out shows and audiences and always meeting up to talk afterwards. Luke grows used to searching for Y/N in the crowds, and racing backstage after her performances to talk for as long as he can before people start wondering why Y/N seems as if she’s talking to an empty room.

It’s good, honestly, probably better than he deserves. This is his second shot, after all, but instead of focusing on how to find out his unfinished business Luke really just wants to spend more time with Y/N, messing around to write new songs and talking about everything that has ever crossed their minds.

Once, he asked how it was possible that she could see him, why the only other person able to see ghosts is Julie, who only found out about them after her mother died. Although Y/N and Luke have never had trouble sharing secrets, Y/N grows oddly silent at this, and quickly changes the subject. Luke doesn’t bring it up again, but he can’t help but wonder what she’s keeping to herself.

It’s not like he doesn’t trust her. In the time he’s gotten to know Y/N, Luke can easily say that she’s a good person. Sometimes secrets are meant to be kept to yourself, especially if they’re of hurtful memories, and that’s alright. Luke is just happy to have her around.

They’re sitting on the roof one day when Luke realizes that he knows this for certain. They finished one of Julie and the Phantoms’ performances about half an hour ago, but Luke and Y/N are still up here, talking. Some guy left a ladder up to the jazz club roof leaning against a wall and, well, the views were too good to let an opportunity like that pass them by.

Sitting up here, the moonlight making rivers of light bend and flow around the two of them, Luke doesn’t think he ever wants to leave this moment.

The words come out of his mouth before he can pull them back. “I really like you, you know.”

Y/N smiles, by now used to his random exclamations. “I really like you too.”

Luke sighs, shakes his head. “No, not like that. As more than a friend. I like you so much that sometimes I don’t even know what to do with myself.”

Y/N’s eyes are bright now, not for moonlight but the happiness stirring behind them. “I thought you were never going to say it. Took you long enough.”

Luke gapes at her. “You’re not- you-”

Y/N rolls her eyes, but the gesture doesn’t feel sarcastic. “Yeah, I like you too. Don’t overthink it.”

Luke grins. “Don’t overthink it? I’m going to overthink it even harder now.”

He screws up his face like he’s having a migraine, and Y/N leans back, laughing. The strange thing is that she reaches over by habit, and when her hand connects with his, he feels it. He feels it even though he’s a ghost and she’s not, and Luke doesn’t know how Y/N manages to keep surprising him but he’s not sure that he minds it like this.

The sight still exists before him, proving that it’s not a dream: their hands, gently touching. Luke stares at Y/N in shock. “How is that possible? Have you always been able to do that?”

Y/N shakes her head slowly. “I knew I could see ghosts, but I didn’t know about that. I never got the chance to check.”

She hesitates a moment longer before continuing. “I never told you about how I could see ghosts because it isn’t the greatest memory. Someone from my family died, but they left behind a ton of trouble for the rest of us. Part of their unfinished business was getting the rest of us to forgive them. I could see them to help out with that, but I never checked on the touch thing because I never really wanted to see if it would work. I was furious with them.”

Y/N looks away, and at last Luke gets it. No wonder she didn’t want to talk about her past- it obviously hurt her.

He still can’t bear to see the pained look on her face, though, so he squeezes her hand, just to prove that he can. “All the same, I’m glad it works.”

A quiet smile returns to Y/N’s face. “So am I. It means I get to do this.”

Before Luke can ask what she’s talking about, Y/N leans over and kisses him. He kisses her back almost immediately, of course, but when they finally break away the first thing he says is:

“I meant to do that first.”

Y/N laughs. “Maybe you should have done it, then. Don’t blame me for hurrying things along.”

Luke spreads his hands. “I was trying, but I didn’t realize that I could actually touch you until about five seconds ago.”

Y/N’s laughing at him, but Luke manages to put a stop to it by kissing her again. He thinks that he might be content to stay here forever, on the rooftop with the moonlight weaving them both together. In fact, he intends on remaining here at least a little longer, just because he can.

Okay doing I'm at home and I'm ready to tell you about my fanfiction! It's a long story and I hope you won't be bored or tired ^^

I add into plot magic and soul mates, so be ready!

Stoick didn't die because Hiccup never runs away to try to talk with Drago. He meets his mother and she says you know "don't go to Drago he will kill you" and Stoick tells about his past and Hiccup is just "oki doki Drago's mad no negotiations with him". You know why? Because he's a good boy c: And intelligent. His _parents_ told him not to go to a mad man and he did it.

The war drags on for years because Hiccup gathers and trains the dragon army and dragon riders, using them in battle against Drago. He forces him to retreat and doubt his victory. Hiccup literally becomes the first person who's _real_ threat to Drago (because fuck Drago Hiccup is my cute cupcake and dragons will follow him). He is a dragon alpha just like his mother.

And here we go with magic and soulmates!

When Hiccup turns 18, he gets a black mark on his chest and Valka explains to him that he can now become a dragon (Night fury). She has a similar mark on her chest, but white (she is Light fury). They now feel more than other people, hear and see better, and they also show dragon weaknesses (but to a lesser extent than the dragons themselves). The fact that Valka became a dragon better explains why she didn’t return to her family. How could she watch her kin die? And what happens if someone finds out? Berk hated dragons and they could kill her. So Hiccup forgets her and understands her feelings.

Aaand. In my fanfiction you can see your soulmate in your dream. You can watch their past and present, but not future. And Viggo watches Hiccup (Hiccup can't because there are some rules but I don't know if it will be interesting for you) and decides to help him with Drago.

Drago finds his bewilderbeast and Hiccup finds another one (female from RTTE), so Hiccup has 2 big dragons now😎

War continues, Drago asks for help from Grimmel and the Night Fury killer agrees so the hunt for Hiccup begins. Then poison and captivity, Grimmel takes Hiccup to Drago but they didn't have time to kill him and there we go with dragon riders, Viggo and Skrill, Valka's bewilderbeast and final battle! The Drago's bewilderbeast doesn't (!!!) Kill Valka's bewilderbeast because the female goes into battle and he goes back. He doesn't want to fight and then Hiccup kills Drago. Then Grimmel, warlords, Krogan, Johann are dead. Hiccup and Berk won.

So we have: alive Stoick, alive Valka's bewilderbeast, Drago's bewilderbeast and deathgrippers choose Hiccup as his alpha, hunters surrender and war is over.

Viggo lives with Hiccup and helps him to recover himself from war and captivity. 

After that Toothless finds the Light fury! And Hidden world and other Night furies. Here we go with pure black and white-black lil cute babies (Viggo and Hiccup are their babysitters sometimws hehe)

Hiccup eats (?) Magic energy from crystals in Hidden world and he becomes more powerful. Now he and Valka discover magic abilities in themselves and Hiccup controls darkness and Valka controls water and ice c:

Then Hiccup does a ritual and asks the Underground Dragon god to share Hiccup's power with Viggo and he is strong enough to accept this gift. Now Viggo can be Night Fury as well c: And he controls darkness too ^^

Then they have a happy live!

I hope I didn't bother you with some big text omg 😥👉👈

Thank you for listening!!!!

OOOOO!!!! this sounds so cool :DDD

do you have a link to the fanfic I would love to read it in its entirety :)

i also really like the older bewilderbeast is brought up cos like that was such a loose end I'm glad that it can be a bit more tied up in this

and the dragon transformation thing sounds amazing!!

🌌 It’s not a worry. I will try to continue to do so, but can’t promise it. Unfortunately, as others have said, there WILL be those who will buy into the narratives they/any PR puts out as PRs are for the public, afterall. It’s to captivate and hold the public interest while unconsciously influencing them to stay focus on those specific people and the projects related to them.

So don’t frustrate yourselves with having to convince EVERYONE. It’s a self destructive habit that you DONT want to form, as it’ll invite stress and arguments that’s unnecessary.

In some defense, I understand why the panicking because you have to remember, the secrets of PR are still slowly being publicized. We ALL at once believed a false narrative deliberately put out to capture our interest.

Seriously… come on Waity Katie. You and Harry literally met up, talked, and that’s all. He kissed you, but not how you overly exaggerated. There was no “mysterious mansion, slamming against the wall, tonsil hockey, fooling around”.

Harry’s bad back would had had the both of their faces planted on the ground with him howling in back from a muscle spasm, and her crying from a twisted ankle.

She, like so many, ramble on about their brief experiences as if it’s their lives’ crown jewel and main personality trait/skill.

Job Interviewer: “Tell me about yourself? What makes you a good candidate for our company?”

Waity Katie/others: “OMG, so when I was, like, 24. I was this small town girl who just got this small job at this agency. And there I met Harry styles. I totally wasn’t interested in him, as I’m that unique cool girl who’s unbothered by fame.

I mean, like, I was like ‘Harry Styles? Who’s Harry styles Do you mean Hip Hop Harry?’. But we saw each at my job and our eyes connected and I seriously heard angels sing. He asked me out and took us to the NorthPole because it was around Christmas. And I totally love Christmas stuff! Like the movie Elf and The Polar Express! He let me meet Santa and the elves at the workshop! And I even rode the sleigh by the reindeers in the sky! Then we had hot cocoa and cookies that Mrs. Clause cooked for us, and went under the stars. And Harry looked at me, to tuck my hair behind my ear, and I was, like, ‘OMG. He’s looking at me!” Then Harry, said, “You’re my Northstar. You guide me home.’ And then he kissed me and my body started sparkling with rainbows and and shooting out magic!”

Yeah… that’s all I have to say about her/others outrageous stories, and why not to believe false rumors/everything people say.

I’ll be back on to answer other posts submitted.

Finally, some ask that made me laugh. It was getting difficult today. Thank you 😂

[luaspersona]

i just wanna start this by saying that:

Objectively speaking, Seokjin is pretty lame. From what you can tell, he basically has no social life. He doesn't party, doesn't go out, doesn't take an interest in anything [...]

is me. i'm basically seokjin now, thank you. i feel both represented and exposed

then i wanna say that this just filled my heart with such soul crushing warmth that i was kicking my blankets and punching the air like a preteen 😭😭😭

god, jen, this is so fucking cute??

i feel like you were able to convey that awkwardness of being in the same place as your crush when you're a shy person so well that it gave me war flashbacks lol but i LOVED every second of it 🥹

this seokjin is so adorable, the world wide cute just straight up ranting about his favorite character to a girl he's barely friends with lol ugh SO FUCKING HEART CLENCHING 😩😩😩

not to mention the way you enhance those feelings by making the reader note how cute or how handsome he is all the time, how she's not even paying attention, just relishing on being together with him!

and the words you choose, the creative ways you find to explain what the reader is feeling without like... just saying, i mean:

Your chest almost explodes. In your head, there's a series of question marks floating around; in your heart, there's a bunch of exclamation points detonating like fireworks. Oh god, what is happening?

lmao that's so accurate?

and let's thank our man joonie for being this real omg, just pushing his girl out of her shell and helping her out like the good man he is 😭 i'd 100% kill him if that was me, but the sentiment remains.

but ugh, jen

i just love your writing so much, and i want to review more and more from you, especially since there are some i've read, but haven't gather my thought yet to say exactly how it made me feel and make sure you understand how talented you are. everything you create (from banners to fics) is so captivating and immersive that i kinda just wanna look at it for hours 👁👁 if your fics were paintings, i'd hang every single one of them

Congratulations once again on the milestone Jen! You are amazing and deserve every big milestone coming your way! For the request can I please get prompt 19-“i’ve never seen anyone look so cute and ridiculous at the same time.” with Jin? Thank you in advance and I hope you have fun writing it!

pink bean fever | ksj

pairing: seokjin x reader

genre/warnings: best friend's roommate to ??, college au, fluff, swearing, mentions of pink bean but they're 1000% inaccurate bc i know nothing about maple story pls don't come for me, unedited !!

word count: 1.8k

note: jiya !! thank you so much for requesting this :') i had fun with it and i hope you like it too!! also, it's still jinnie's birthday somewhere so i will still consider this a birthday fic lol

— as always, i’d appreciate any thoughts or comments you may have, and please drop a like and/or reblog if you enjoy reading ♡

Kim Namjoon, you’re going to kill him.

Kim fucking Namjoon.

Forty five minutes ago, you were getting ready to walk to your best friend's dorm so you two could go get dinner together somewhere nearby. Now, you're sitting on his bed, Namjoon nowhere in sight, just a few feet from his roommate Seokjin.

The guy that you have the biggest, fattest crush on.

You swear Namjoon did this on purpose. That motherfucker.

You watch Seokjin as he practically screams into the mic attached to his headset, his fingers skillfully bouncing on the keyboard of the laptop in front of him, playing a game you know nothing about.

"Jungkook ah! Where the fuck were you?! I almost got killed!"

This has been going on for almost twenty minutes now - you awkwardly perched on Namjoon's bed while Seokjin either screeches in excitement when he wins, or wails in agony when he loses the game. This is the fucking worst way to spend a Saturday evening.

You glance at your phone, praying to every god to make Namjoon reply to your hundredth text message cursing him out and asking where he is. You never should've told him about your crush on his roommate. He even had the audacity to laugh when you finally revealed who the object of your affection was. That fucking guy.

Objectively speaking, Seokjin is pretty lame. From what you can tell, he basically has no social life. He doesn't party, doesn't go out, doesn't take an interest in anything that doesn't have the words "Maple Story", "Super Mario", or "League of Legends" in it. All he does is play video games all day with his friends, whom you assume are the same people he's yelling at now. Namjoon told you that once, Seokjin forgot to eat anything for two days straight because he was on his computer the entire time.

That begs the question: If Seokjin was so lame, why are you so enamored with him? The answer is very simple. Seokjin is as cute as he is lame, which is to say that he is very fucking cute. When you met him earlier in the semester when Namjoon got assigned a new roommate, it was love at first sight.

However, you don't think you've ever held a one-on-one conversation with him before. Tonight might be the first time, when he opened the door for you and said you could wait for Namjoon here. You had squeaked out a shy Yes and followed him into the room where he offered you a glass of water before he returned to his computer, leaving you to wait around for a person you knew had left you to fend for yourself in the wilderness. This is exactly why Namjoon is doing this, you think. He's been telling you for a couple weeks now to just talk to Seokjin like a normal person instead of tripping over your words like a lovestruck idiot.

Occassionally, he looks over his shoulder at you, and you have to whip your head to the other side of the room so quickly you're surprised you didn't pull a muscle, just to not make it obvious that you've been staring at him like a weirdo.

After a while, Seokjin takes off his headset only to replace it with a hat. A... cap? You don't even know what it is. It's got a face of something pink with big round eyes and purple horns, and looks like it should be a plushie instead of something to wear on one's head. His friends have probably gone elsewhere, because he turns off the shooter game he was previously engaged in to play something else by himself.

"Sorry," he says. "I was pretty loud, wasn't I?"

"No, it's fine. I didn't mind," you tell him sheepishly. "Did Joon, uh, tell you when he'd be back?"

Seokjin shrugs. "No. He just said he was going for a quick walk. Went out right before you got here, actually."

Someone give you strength.

He turns back to his screen when you give a hum in acknowledgement. You go back to sitting in silence again, only this time, you notice that when he curses at the game, he makes an effort to lower his volume. Seokjin has a really nice voice, you think. Even when he's cussing, you just want to put it on a tape and listen to it for hours on end.

Okay, that is one thought that you should probably never say aloud. Especially not to Kim fucking Namjoon.

Another 15 minutes pass until Seokjin pauses the game to down the glass of water on the table in front of you - the one between his and Namjoon's bed. You pretend to look around the room even though you've got it memorized at this point. It's pretty small, and the guys don't really have a lot of decorations. Aside from a couple of Namjoon's art prints on the wall and a few of Seokjin's stuffed animals - how fucking cute is that? Jesus Christ, you are so whipped - the room doesn't have that much personality.

You can feel him looking at you as he gulps down his water, clearly not knowing what to say either. You could pass out from the sheer awkwardness that's suffocating the space.

You clear your throat. "Can I, uhm, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What is that on your head?"

Seokjin puts down the glass and takes off his cap, holding it out so you can see it better. "Pink Bean!" he says with a grin. Goddamn, he is beautiful.

"Is that a character?"

He gasps, running a hand through his hair - which looks so, so soft that you want nothing more than to just run your fingers through it. His eyes widen until they're almost as big as the ones on the strange Bean creature. "You don't know what Pink Bean is?!"

"Should I?" you ask, unconsciously making yourself smaller as he stares at you. Seokjin looks equally as excited as he looks offended, shooting up from his chair to bounce onto Namjoon's bed, right next to you.

Your chest almost explodes. In your head, there's a series of question marks floating around; in your heart, there's a bunch of exclamation points detonating like fireworks. Oh god, what is happening?

"Uhm, yes! It's just one of my favorite characters of all time, duh! Okay, okay, so-"

Seokjin launches straight into a whole TED talk on Pink Bean, giving you its extensive backstory and just about everything in the universe that's related to Pink Bean - the quests, its powers, something called a Chaos Pink Bean? Every word he's saying is going into one ear and out the other. To you, he might as well be speaking a different language because you understand none of it and frankly, you don't even care.

But holy moly, he is so passionate about it. He talks about this stuff like Pink Bean is the love of his life and he's gonna marry it one day. Even though you're retaining about zero percent of all this information, watching him ramble is so endearing. His eyes are so bright, and throughout this impromptu presentation of his, he has to pause for a few seconds to catch his breath from all the talking.

You stifle a laugh, and he stops. Seokjin scratches his neck, putting the cap on his head again and looking at you with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to talk your ears off."

"No, no, it's just-" You shake your head with a chuckle. "I've never seen anyone look so cute and ridiculous at the same time."

As soon as the words leave your mouth, you freeze. He freezes. You want the ground to open up so you could fall into that chasm and never be seen again. Life does not have any meaning anymore. Fuck Namjoon, you're not staying here anymore.

"I mean- Not that I think you're cute, it's just- Well, wait, no, I do think you're cute, but it's not-"

You could see a deep blush painting Seokjin's face, from his cheeks to the tips of his ears. You tear your eyes away from him like the idiot that you are. Your lips part, but no words come out because your brain is just blank at this point. You knew you would say something dumb and now you're knee-deep in embarrassment in front of your crush. Stupid, stupid, stupid-

Seokjin clears his throat. "Do you and Namjoon have plans tonight?"

You purse your lips and nod, though you're not sure if he's still looking at you because you're suddenly so keen on not looking at him. "We're just getting dinner," you say with faux nonchalance, as if you hadn't just called him cute two seconds ago and both of you seemed to have absolutely no idea what to do about it. "Joon said there's a new ramen place or something near campus."

"Is it the place where they have ramen sliders? I told him about that place. I've been meaning to go too but, uhm, I don't have anyone to go with."

Oh, hell no. You are not going to invite him to join you and Namjoon after that comment. In fact, you're not going to see Seokjin ever again. You're going to make Namjoon apply for a room reassignment just so you don't have to cross paths with Seokjin. Welp, this silly crush has been fun and miserable. Goodbye forever-

"If Namjoon ditches you, we can probably go together. Or something. Maybe. I don't know."

Your body stiffens, and you know he can probably tell since he's still sitting so close to you and you're not exactly being subtle. Heat creeps up your neck and splatters color onto your cheeks. You're thankful that your hair can cover some of it to preserve what little dignity you have left.

"It's okay. You don't have to. I'll probably- I should, no-" you stammer, "I'll just go home."

"Y/N," Seokjin says, "it's dinner. I'm pretty sure we'll survive a meal together."

"No, I know. It's-"

"Okay. Then let's go."

Before you can say anything, he's standing up. Your panicked eyes follow him as he moves to his side of the room to grab his jacket and ditch the Pink Bean hat. You rush to your feet, spluttering out every polite variation of No, please don't make me do this. I'm practically in love with you and this will only kill me dead that you could think off, but Seokjin is already ushering you out the door.

When he stops by the entryway to grab his keys on bowl next to the door, you could feel his chest pressed against your back. You're going insane with nerves and butterflies and mortification and anticipation and infatuation with this man and this is not fucking helping.

Behind you, Seokjin's low voice sends shivers down your spine with what he tells you next.

"For the record, I think you're cute too."

[the-scarlet-witch-22]

hello hello!!

Ahhh that's so exciting and so sweet that you and your stand partner are bestieess!!!! Also I laughed so hard when you wrote about getting dopamine from external validation because if that doesn't summarize every performer ever than i don't know what does 😂😂

Yes, yes, yes!! The way you said it was so well put!! I typically say that during rehearsal "we get lost in sauce" 😂 but you said if far more eloquently. I think that's what I miss the most about performaning, apart from being surrounded by other creative people. The fact that everyone is there trying to create something so beautiful and trying to convey emotions in a way that goes beyond words is something so magical. Uggghhh now I'm gonna start looking up local theatres to see what productions they're doing to see if i want to audition.

Honestly everyone crying is just a testament to how well written and enthralling this story was!!!! I (and I'm sure everyone else who read it) was so captivated by the story from beginning to end! When i tell you i LOVED the scene with the kids i truly mean LOVED. 1 - i thought it was the hottest thing ever that Agatha enjoys interacting with kids (and honestly kept thinking about Agatha with kiddos cause i just know she has such a soft spot for them) and 2 - experiences like that are just so transformative for children!!! I still remember the very first musical I saw in person and how amazed i was by it and immediately knew it was something i wanted to do.

Ahhh i feel like my asks just keep getting longer and longer!! They're starting to feel like letters at this point 😂 So sorry 🥴 but i saw THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEQUEL!!! And it's going to have CARMEN IN IT?!?!?!?!! I'm sooo excited!!!!!! I completely forgot i had said something about Agatha conducting an opera, but oh my goddddd i want her to conduct an opera so badlyyyyyy. Needless to say, i am very, very excited!!!!!!

I hope you are having a fantastic start to you week!! ❤️����

- paganini anon

Hi Paganini Anon! 💜

Ah yes. Jerry, my stand partner is an icon and I’m determined to become his best friend. I already have a plan for our next rehearsal 😌🤞🏻

Hahah I actually enjoy the phrase “lost in the sauce” a lot more than what I said!! It’s so true! I think it’s incredible that you’re in theater, and I completely get what you’re saying. I’m rooting for you and pls keep me updated (if you want to) on if you end up auditioning for anything!!!! I’m sure you’ll do great and it sounds like it would be so much fun!! The fine arts are such an incredible gift and my biggest regret is going so long without performing.

Thank you so much omg 😭 I am a very emotional person (I blame my Pisces moon, my therapist says otherwise tho), and I think it’s clear in my writing that I enjoy angst. I’ve always appreciated your support and anons on here, I go “ooo” whenever I see I have one!! They make my day 😌 I’m rly truly sooooooo glad you liked Agatha with the kids!!!! I added so many little details in, it always makes me excited to see what people enjoy and what they can relate to. And that’s so sweet 😭 it’s so incredible how one experience can help shape your entire life!!

No pls I love the asks! It’s fun- and I love writing letters! One of my friends from college and I would write each other letters back when the pandemic first hit and it was so fun. Yes!! I’m like… 1/4 of the way through writing the first chapter!! Yes yes yes it will have Carmen!!! It’s one of my absolute favorite operas. I remembered your ask and I was like oh wow that would be an interesting idea, could I do that? And then I brainstormed and decided I wanted to keep writing haha. Agatha is going to be on one while she’s conducting in the sequel and it’s going to be very entertaining to read. I’m so glad you’re excited!!!!! 💜✨

Ah thank you! It’s been a bit busy and the cold weather is making it hard for me to focus on things, but I am trying my best. I hope you’re having a good week too, thank you sm for the ask. I always love getting them!! ✨
