#and my url… it’s a reference to a show that i didn’t even watch the whole last season of lol

[trashcandroid]

i gotta change the title of this blog it’s been years

[hah-studios]

For the kiss meme, maybe 13? I'll be honest, I'm super forgetful w/ urls lmao and I'm not sure which (if any) fandoms we share, so dealers choice on that front (if you want ofc)

...13 discreetly (writing prompts ask list)

(since I got my pick I chose my newest ship: Kay Vess x ND-5 from the Star Wars Outlaws game. I wanna do more stuff with them so I thought this would be a good first step)

The stars seemed still as the Trailblazer lazily made its way across the galaxy. Destination…whatever struck their fancy.

‘Their’ being the three passengers of the star ship. Slicer extraordinaire Kay Vess, her loyal and dependable pet, Nix, and her co-pilot the BX droid ND-5.

He was idly walking around the ship, with the Trailblazer on autopilot and no space mafia hunting them down, he was allowed to relax. He was not used to relaxing. Even before he worked under Jaylen he had always been busy.

Kay had no problem relaxing, the human woman had fallen asleep at the wheel, a very unproffesional thing for a pilot to do, a fact he’d inform her about when she woke up. Her arms were crossed on the console making a pillow for her head. Sprawled across her legs was Nix, the merqaal’s tongue hanging from his open mouth.

ND-5 had turned his optics away from the stars ahead and to the human sitting beside him. She was snoring softly. And in that moment she looked as vulnerable and helpless as he had assumed when they first met, when he thought she’d be a hassle he’d have to eventually get rid of.

Oh how wrong his calculations had been…this snarky girl had saved him. He was only an old droid, he could be replaced, he knew that, Jaylen knew that…But Kay, she knew yet she hadn’t cared. She made the effort to fix him when he started to malfunction, even more amazing she had risked her life to remove his restraining bolt…to set him free.

ND rose from his seat and walked to the back of the ship. The memory of that day always left him feeling torn. He hated to think how he had hurt her, even though it was Jaylen pulling the strings. He remembered the terror coursing through his circuits as he chased her down under Jaylen’s orders. He had begged her to run, knowing he’d kill her once he caught her.

But he couldn’t forget the burst of surprise and joy he felt when Kay revealed she had come after him, had risked her safety just to save him. She had never given up on him. He cherished the relief that pumped through his wiring when the restraining bolt was gone. He was a free droid. A free droid, and Kay’s friend.

Partner, she had referred to him to the bounty hunter, Vail. They would stick together, they would enjoy the newfound freedom together.

ND reached Kay’s cot and pulled the blanket off, bringing it back to the cockpit to drape over her shoulders. After a moment of studying he picked up an edge of the blanket to carefully place it over Nix’s exposed belly. His hand brushed against Kay’s stomach as he did so, and he felt her skin jump at the contact but she didn’t stir.

He pulled away, maybe more quickly than needed, but kept his feet rooted to the floor.

As he watched her breath he felt the affection that seemed to want to reset his programming. While he could admit he had slowly found the girl endearing as they worked together, his fondness had started when she had gone out of her way to fix him. As humiliated as he had felt, as much as he thought it was pointless, as scared as he had been, he couldn’t help but be touched that she had grown to value him as a friend. That tenderness cemented himself when his programming had been fixed and an uncontrollable flex of his arm had brought her to the floor. Yet she hadn’t held it against him…..

I don’t know what’ll happen if I let my programming be reset. And it was probably best if he didn’t find out. But he wanted to show his loyalty, his gratitude, his sense of comradery. And through his many years of being online he saw many ways organic beings expressed such sentiments. All things he wouldn’t dare do with Kay, she’d tease him mercilessly.

But…there was one thing…and as long as she was asleep. And a part of him was morbidly curious, it wouldn’t hurt anything, this was just for him.

Carefully, not wanting his joints to creak, he leaned down and let his mouth vent brush her hair. It was dusty and a little ragged, she could use a good bath.

He pulled away from his droid-equivalent of a kiss and sat back down. When Kay woke up he would keep this a secret. He didn’t like keeping secrets from her after everything they been through. But this secret would only embarrass the both of them, he could chalk it up to a momentary glitch in his programming.

He could be discreet about it.

I didn't mean to leave it so long... 😅 I rewrote a fair chunk of the dialogue yesterday, but then I kept falling asleep while editing. 😆

Unrecognisable Part 5

I can’t say showering in some random guy’s bathroom was the worst experience I ever had. I certainly didn’t feel that I had fully removed the stench though even after several washes. The guy's cheap soap and shampoo made it an absolute challenge. I liked to think by the time I finished, being near me was at least tolerable.

After getting out of the shower, I realised the next problem. Deodorant. I checked the man’s vanity, pleading to all the gods in existence for a spray and not a roll-on. I didn’t want to have to choose between my body odor or having to apply a used roll-on. One of the gods out there must’ve heard me because I found a spray. Never have I been so relieved over deodorant.

Out of nowhere, the bathroom door burst open. I shrieked and grabbed the towel around me.

“You’re taking too fucking long!” Jake complained pushing past me.

I watched in shock as he started stripping right next to me without a shred of decency. Immediately, I was distracted by the sight of his toned upper body and the tattoos over both shoulders. I tried to get a better view of them, but Jake shuffled into the stall too fast for me to get a good look.

“Less gawking, more walking,” he tilted his head out of the shower stall with a smirk on his face. “If you nicely, maybe I'll even let you touch later.”

I rolled my eyes and turned away to walk out of the bathroom with the clean clothes to change elsewhere. I left my dirty clothes behind, but I'd come back for those once he was done. Quickly I dressed and towel dried my hair as best as I could.

While drying my hair, I noticed that Jake had opened the man's laptop and big surprise, he'd managed to unlock it. He even left the browser open, which was on the same news site as before. Jake doesn’t accidentally leave these things open, right? I sat down and started skimming through the live updates on us. It detailed how there was a major joint-force operation to apprehend an international fugitive that resulted in several explosions. Several law enforcement dead or injured. To my surprise though, it didn’t refer to Jake as Jake - only as the hacker known as Nym-0s. As I scrolled down further, it continued to say that we had escaped and were believed to be headed south. Checkpoints were being set up on all roads from here to the border. They warned readers that we were to be considered armed and dangerous. Even I was scared of us after reading the page.

At the bottom there was another article titled, “Who is Nym-0s and why is he so dangerous?” I went to click the link, but I was stopped by Jake suddenly leaning over me.

“Only read that if you enjoy fairy tales,” he warned softly, his mouth right next to my ear. “The Grimm kind, not the Disney mutations.”

“Are you saying it’s all lies?” I asked inquisitively.

“I'm saying they are only parroting what they’ve heard from the spin factories. They don’t know me at all,” he stood upright behind me.

I turned to him, saw he was still shirtless and immediately looked away again, “Could you put a shirt on!?”

“I thought you wanted to have a look. Suddenly feeling guilty? Shameful maybe? Like you’re betraying your boyfriend?” he teased.

“So you have been keeping tabs on me,” I raised my eyebrow.

“No, I couldn’t care less what you've been up to,” he insisted.

“Yet you know I am seeing someone,” I pushed.

“Well it’s not everyday I see an old mark on PornHub,” he said nonchalantly.

“What!?” I exclaimed, twisting around to face him.

“Oh, didn't you know? Don't tell me, he never mentioned the camera in the bedroom?” he asked bemused.

“You’re lying!” I shook my head and turned back to the laptop to ignore him.

“No, no, let me show you,” he pushed.

Jake’s two hands suddenly came around and typed the PornHub url into the browser. I would’ve been impressed by the speed and dexterity if I wasn't so distracted by his comments. No way would my boyfriend betray me like that! Jake looked up a particular user that had 28 videos from the past 9 months and clicked on a random video. Sure enough, it was my boyfriend and I doing the dirty in his bedroom. I was so aghast that I was absolutely speechless.

“I have to say, in this one, it's so obvious you were faking it and he didn't even notice,” he shook his head. “That’s nothing to be proud of.”

I felt so sick, I wanted to get away, but with Jake's arms around me, I was trapped.

“Please!” I closed my eyes. “Please stop!”

“Oh MC,” he mumbled in my ear. “You really didn’t know?”

Clenching my fists, I gathered all my strength to politely ask, “Can you please take them down?”

“Unfortunately, we have to get moving now,” Jake placed his hand on my cheek to gently turn me to face him. “But I will take care of it as soon as I can. You have my word.”

He was so close to my face then that I started to notice small things that I missed before. His eyes were soft and gentle as opposed to earlier, but they were sunken from countless sleepless nights. His lips were cracked and weathered, but on the mend. His black hair, hidden by the hood earlier, was short and messy. It still had water droplets gathering on the ends as he hadn’t properly dried it. Damnit, despite the recent revelation, I found myself unable to look away. If he hadn’t been such a jerk all day, I would’ve found myself falling for him all over again.

“Are you ok?” he asked out of concern.

“Oh yeah, I just... I just can't believe he would do something like this,” I said defeated.

“Everyone has their dark side. It's just a case of unearthing it,” he shrugged.

“I thought... I thought he could be the one,” I thought out loud.

“It is better you find out now rather than later, before it is too late,” he sympathised.

“You could have told me sooner,” I frowned.

“I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to mention it earlier. Not with everything that's happened today,” he explained.

“No, you obviously knew about these for a while,” I narrowed my eyes at him. “And yet you never thought to contact me?”

“Honestly, I thought you knew,” he defended. “It hadn’t occurred to me that they were published without your permission.”

“Published? I didn’t even know they existed!” I corrected and paused for a moment. “How many of these did you watch?”

“MC, I didn’t know you were unaware of their existence,” he reiterated while looking away.

“You avoided the question,” I glared.

“I fail to see how that is relevant right now,” he shook his head. “I hardly am at fault for having seen public videos.”

“One, sure. Two, perhaps. Three is pushing it. There are 28 videos here, Jake. Once you realised it was me, did you think to stop?” I raised my eyebrow.

“MC, we can’t stay here any longer. We have to go,” he tried to avoid my question again.

“But then, to even find these in the first place... There’s got to be billions of videos on PornHub,” I pointed out. “Exactly how did you come across them?”

“I don’t recall,” he lied. “But is that really what’s important here?”

“Oh my God, you were looking for dirt on my boyfriend!” I remarked as I stood up. “You hacked, what, his email?”

Jake sighed, “He’s using the same username as the one I found in a leak.”

“I have no words for you right now,” I shook my head.

“MC, aren’t you misplacing the anger just a little? I told you, didn’t I? I didn’t have to. I could’ve kept it to myself,” he tried to reason.

“You waited until it served a purpose for you,” I gritted my teeth.

“And what purpose would that be?” he questioned. “Looks to me keeping quiet would’ve served a better purpose. Now I have to take them down.”

I slapped him across the face, “You got off on them!”

“I didn’t mean it like that! Why the hell would you think I would get off on some prat fucking you!?” he growled. “Can we please go!? I will take care of it later!”

“Yes, we can leave. And the fucking second you sit down at a computer you are pulling that shit down!” I ordered.

“Look, I get you’re pissed, I would be too, but don't take it out on the messenger!” he stressed. “If it's any consolation, you can’t see much anyway because he doesn’t know shit about setting up a camera.”

I shook my head, “No, no consolation at all. I feel so... I feel so... I don’t even know how to describe it!”

“I will take them down, ok? You’ll never see or hear of them again,” he assured me.

“Please,” I sighed. “Can we just act like they never existed? I just can't right now. Not on top of everything else.”

“Of course,” Jake nodded. “We should go. Find something to put your dirty clothes into. I'll erase our history on the laptop.”

I nodded and walked off to the kitchen to look for a garbage bag. Glancing back, I saw Jake putting a different shirt over him - one that hugged his biceps. Shit, he didn't make it easy. Jake noticed me staring again and raised his eyebrow in amusement. I rolled my eyes and went back to looking for a bag. Eventually I found one behind some cleaning chemicals and went to the bathroom to collect my clothes.

As I stepped back out, Jake was closing the laptop back up. He'd already put his hoodie and mask back on. It was a bit painful to see him covered up again. Despite him being a total jerk, no one deserved to live in fear of revealing their identity.

“All right, let’s go,” he gestured.

Grabbing my purse and Jake’s clothes bag, I headed out of the apartment first. Jake followed, making sure to lock the door behind us. As we headed back downstairs though, I noticed Jake playing with a key fob.

“Jake, you didn’t!” I gasped.

“Really? What did you expect?” he laughed. “This was the real objective all along.”

“Won’t he report it missing when he wakes up?” I pointed out in a hushed voice.

“It’s Friday night and he’s passed out drunk,” Jake rolled his eyes.

“You mean he was knocked out,” I corrected.

“It doesn’t matter. By the time he wakes up and is even in a condition to realise the car is missing, we'll have ditched it. Don’t worry, I’ll leave it somewhere nice. Think of it like borrowing it for a little bit,” he smirked.

“Anything else you borrowed?” I frowned.

“Nope,” he shook his head as he rounded the man’s car. Somehow, I didn’t believe him. “Come on!”

Sighing, I opened the passenger door and climbed in. There was still a stench from earlier inside. As Jake started the car and drove off, I opened up the vents, desperate to cycle the air. As Jake hit the motorway, I relaxed back in the seat.

“What about the checkpoints?” I asked.

“Those are out of the city,” he reminded me. “We’re going further in.”

“We are?” I did a double take.

“Best place to hide right now is in a crowd,” he insisted.

“Ok, sure, but they put our photos on the evening news,” I pointed out.

“I already have a plan for that,” he said vaguely.

“Mind sharing with the class?” I raised my eyebrow.

“I will tell you when the time comes,” he answered so nostalgically.

“Ugh! You know how much I hate it when you say that!” I rolled my eyes.

“I do, but I mean it,” I detected a small smile behind the mask as he glanced over at me. "You should relax and rest your eyes. We've still got a way to go before we can stop for the night."

Nodding, I leant back and took his advice.

[thetaekookcloset]

In the break the silence message, towards the end jungkook holds up his hands to show seven and then does the bunny and tiger symbols. To me, as much as it could be considered a hint by him it could also be him just doing the most random things. Whats your opinion?

I’m not actually sure of the moment you’re referring to, I’m sorry! I have watched Break the Silence, but I’ve only seen it once and I’m not even sure if the documentary itself is what you’re referencing here. I tried to Google this to find it and take a look, but I didn’t get anything. I’m sorry I don’t have more to say on this! If you want to come back with a URL to a clip that I could check out, I can say more.

Without seeing it or having it in my memory, the most I can say is that if the symbols he’s doing are pretty clear, then I doubt it’s random, but beyond that I can’t really say more, I’m sorry!

Have a cute TK gif for your trouble!

Sri Lanka Nakata Diary

 Title: I got to make some time all of a sudden.

Hello, this is Iggy.

Just as the title says, I suddenly managed to make some time for myself here in Sri Lanka. The guest who was supposed to come over had to go on a last-minute trip, so I wound up with almost an entire day off.

My boss told me that I should take it easy while I was at it and that studying was forbidden, so if you’d like, please give me suggestions. I think there aren’t many people living in Sri Lanka among the ones who are seeing this, so anything goes. Like your favorite ways to spend your leisure time, for example.

By the way, I like cooking when a senior acquaintance of mine comes over, but I noticed lately that I don’t cook much when I’m alone. Eating out is best when it’s Sri Lankan curry.

 Ely_03

Hi, Iggy. I always have fun reading your blog. I live in Greece. I have interest in Japanese people because my daughter is studying abroad in Japan, so I’m happy to have found this blog.

 1975Halleluja

Do they not have night clubs there? How about you try going to one? I’m reading you all the way from Egypt.

 BB_Typhoon

How about trying to clean up your room? It might be surprisingly messy.

 Archangel

Hello, nice to meet you, Iggy-san. If you are in Sri Lanka, apparently, there is a Sri Lankan massage called Ayurveda. You are finally having a day off, so isn’t it a good idea to relax in a way you have never experienced before? Take care of your body. I found the spa below. Not so bad, is it?

(This URL is only visible to the administrator.)

   Title: I went to do Ayurveda!

Hello, Iggy here. Thank you for your previous comments to my blog.

I went to the spa that Archangel-san introduced to me, and it was a series of first experiences, so I was very excited. Back in my country, I kind of imagined that women were the ones who get this kind of massage, but if my tired body would get better, I could keep getting it in the future too.

The owner of the spa was a Tamil speaker. It would have been great if I were more able to talk to them. Thanks to them, I experienced enrichment in many aspects.

Iggy out.

 Archangel

Iggy-san, it seems you had a fulfilling day and nothing makes me happier. I think that the most efficient way to study about languages ​​and gemstones is to proceed with the two paralleling each other like wheels. I hope your training will be fun.

 Punk_Of_England

When I read a blog from someone who’s having fun, I have fun too! If there were a ‘like’ button, I might have pressed it nonstop. Take care of your health. Man, anonymous sections sure are convenient.

   Title: Three-Wheeler

Hello, Iggy here. I had a question in one of my updates.

Do you remember that, last time, I wrote an article about purchasing a three-wheel bike called Three-Wheeler? I’ve been addicted to riding it around lately.

I did have a driver’s license in my motherland, but I was the kind who didn’t have a car or bicycle, so maybe my eyes opened up to the fun of driving a car when I came here.

This thing is like a bike with a hood, so it feels good when the wind hits my face. Finding waterfowl when I’m running around the man-made areas in the evening makes me feel satisfied.

I’m going to study now. After I’m done, I’ll go ride on the Three-Wheeler again. Looking forward to it.

 Archangel

Iggy-san, hello. It seems that you are enjoying your new vehicle. Although this is excessive concern, but if I may share my worries about the Three-Wheeler, while it does have a casual ride quality to it, is not appropriate for crime prevention. For example, there is no wall to protect your body if a thug happens to attack from the side of the vehicle while it is temporarily stopped. Your senior and boss have probably already told you not to carry valuables with you when you are riding. Please be careful.

 Iggy

>Archangel-san, thank you for always leaving comments. Indeed, I do recall my boss telling me that. I never take valuables with me when I use the Three-Wheeler, but I’ll make sure to take it to heart once again. Thank you very much.

 ilovestones

I went back to read the article about the Three-Wheeler. So cute! I don’t see bikes like that in my country at all. Must be fun to drive around one of those. I think this would come in very handy if you ever feel like renewing all the strata within a 20km radius of your house. I’m jealous.

 Punk_Of_England

This might be the anonymous section and all, but I think people’s quirks show in their text, so it’s hard to tell if they haven’t yet been discovered or if they’re just being let through...

   Title: Men in Skirts

Iggy here. Just as the title says, I’ve passed by several men who were wearing skirts. I wonder if it was traditional wear. But it also had a colorful and casual feel to it, so I’m slightly confused about what it was. I’m not very confident as to whether or not I was making a rude face when I looked at them. My apologies to them.

 Archangel

>Iggy-sama.

That is called sarong, which is a traditional wear in Sri Lanka. Please refer to the URL below.

(This URL is only visible to the administrator.)

I believe you understood that it is used as formal wear. Perhaps the fact that there were so many men wearing colorful sarongs means it was a wedding ceremony? Do not be so discouraged.

   Title: I was given a sarong!

Iggy here. For now, please take a look at this photo.

(The image is displayed only to accounts authorized by the administrator.)

I got a red and blue gingham check sarong! It’s comfy! Since it’s the locals who wear it, as expected, there’s lots of pros to it – it’s breathable, doesn’t bleach in the sunlight, and it’s easier to walk in than I had imagined.

As you can see in the picture, the length is down to the ankles. It’s longer than a Scottish skirt and that helps. It seems people put this on to go to wedding ceremonies. So cool. Above all, it suits the climate of Sri Lanka, so I think that’s better to wear than Bermuda shorts if you want to spend time here.

I received this from my neighbor, but it’s extremely comfortable, so I’m planning to buy one or two more for myself. I wonder if this can’t be worn every day.

 Shinghalion

I am a local. It makes me happy that you like my homeland’s clothes. This sort of garment also seems to be trending amongst Sri Lanka’s elite college students in the recent years, so if there are any places near you where college students hang out, then the boutiques next to them are where you should aim to go. Please have a pleasant life. By the way, it seems to me that someone is leaving several comments. Are you okay? If they are being a nuisance, it seems that there is also a block function here. Just my excessive concerns.

 Archangel

>Shinghalion

Pleased to meet you (just for the sake of it). Please do not say such outrageous things to someone you have never even met.

   Title: I ended up accumulating sweets.

(The image is displayed only to accounts authorized by the administrator.)

I made too many...

The picture is of coconut rolls, pudding and caramelized date. As one would expect, I can’t eat them all on my own, but when I tried to share with my neighbors, they told me that it’s bad for children’s teeth and got a bit angry, so things are awkward. What should I do?

   Title: My boss came over!

The sweets that I made in big quantity didn’t go to waste. Lucky me.

Weird coincidences do happen. I’m truly glad for that.

I wonder what I should make next time he comes. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions. As for Sri Lankan sweets, I still only know about things like watalappan, and also the rolls, cream buns, and coconut dumplings sold at the station’s kiosk. But all of them are delicious, aren’t they? If you have any recommendations, please tell me.

 Archangel

>Iggy-sama, I saw your post with great interest. However, I do not think you should forget about the true feelings of the person in question. Please use every day to improve your own skills and promote your physical and mental health. In that respect, as expected, I think that the sweets you are supposed to make should have focus on your current specialties, but do you agree?

 Shinghalion

>Archangel, overprotection can be a bad habit if it goes too far. How about you realize that already?

 Archangel

>Shinghalion, Neither I nor you know each other at all. Please refrain from speculating and saying such things on your own accord.

 Punk_Of_England

Phew~! This is getting kinda interesting. I’ll be watching over the course of events.

 ilovestones

Hum, please leave it as that. This is Iggy-san’s blog. Aren’t you being a bother to him?

 Archangel

I resent my actions.

 Shinghalion

I apologize.

 Punk_Of_England

I’m sorry.

 Mura_Shimo

Heya, Iggy-san! It’s your well-acquainted H.S. I came to see your blog! It’s a fun one with lots of comments. Considering that you said you didn’t advertise it to anyone, that’s amazing! Natural virtues maybe?

I wanna see you again and talk! Do lots of updates~! I’ll do my best at guitar practice too~!

 Punk_Of_England

The possibility of toleration has disappeared, huh. A-san, you okay? Are you going to be silent for the rest of your life?

 Archangel

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, but I am hesitating as well. Remaining silent might be the safest.

 Archangel_Of_Archangel

Hello, nice to meet you, Iggy-san.

I read your entire blog. You seem to be having lots of fun. That is a relief. I have experience with working in a country a bit farther to the southeast than Sri Lanka, so seeing you live a fun daily life reminds me of my youth, which makes me both cry and laugh. This is a very good blog where your daily life comes to mind in vivid colors.

Also, the way that so many people are looking after Iggy-san in the comment section made the corners of my eyes feel hot. Speaking of which, do the people who leave comments on this blog really have no relation to Iggy-san and just watch over him through this blog?

>Archangel-san, can we talk again?

   Title: The comments decreased?

Hello, Iggy here. Ever since the last update, I feel that the people who always send comments to the blog have gone quiet somehow. Have I written anything weird? It is weird for me to make such a request, but if there is no problem in particular, please be as dynamic as always. I mostly spend my time by myself, so I get encouragement when I read from you.

The city has become lively with the preparations for Perahera. It seems there will be many plans for the summer again, but will I be able to see it live? Iggy out!

 Archangel

>Iggy-sama, hello. I shall write a long comment in due time.

[tea-with-veth]

Hi guys, welcome to the first edition of The Tea Party, where I interview authors from the Minecraft Youtube fandom! Today’s guest is @squishyyyghost on Tumblr also known as  Ship_On_The_Sea on ao3 and Wattpad!

Tell us a bit about yourself! 

Well, my name really depends on who you know me as. Normally, I'm Squish, but people who know me for my dnf fics will recognize me as Ship. I go by she/they pronouns, and I'm most known for my dnf fics, notably 7 Minutes in Heaven, but it's 7 Days in Florida.

How'd you end up getting into the mcyt fandom?

Well, to be honest, I've been watching Minecraft Youtubers since about 2013; some of the first channels I subscribed to were actually Minecraft channels, believe it or not. The first fanfic I ever read was actually about mcyters. Despite that, I wasn't in the fandom then, I didn't even know what fandoms were back then. I think that honestly, I got into the mcyt fandom during the summer of 2020 after seeing a bunch of mcyters get recommended on my Youtube homepage and becoming invested in them, which led to me finding out about the mcyt fandom on Tumblr.

And then you started writing fics around the same time?

Not immediately. I got into a bunch around maybe April/May but didn't start writing fics until I got into the dream team at the end of May/early June.

What has been, in your opinion, one of the most rewarding things about writing for this fandom?

Well, I can think of two things, really. One is that this has been a great way for me to just write because I love doing it so much. The second is all of the positive feedback everyone leaves, it's been nothing like I've ever seen before. It's just incredible. I remember when I posted my first fic, I was so nervous but I was met with so much support even then. I think that honestly, the biggest reason I was able to write 7 Days to completion was because of all the support I was receiving from it since day 1 (both figuratively and in reference to the fic's chapter titles lmao). 

Okay, random question time: favorite flavor of tea? 

I... fam, I'm from the South- the only tea I've ever drunk has been iced and sweetened with sugar. My favorite drink is apple or grape juice though. My girlfriend loves tea though, I'm definitely going to try some when we meet up. We actually met bc of this fandom. She read 7 Days and followed me on Tumblr, and I recognized her Tumblr url from my ao3 comments and messaged her because I wanted to be friends, and it just kinda went from there. We just celebrated 6 months yesterday actually!

Congratulations! Speaking of your writing, is there something you've written that you'd like more people to read?

I feel like most of the oneshots I publish kinda fly under the radar for everyone because I think people just know me for 7 Days and don't realize I have other works, which is understandable. 

How long have you been doing creative writing, not just in the mcyt fandom? 

I started writing fics around 2016 because of a fandom I joined, so it's been almost five years of writing. Five years and I only have one completed fic, so it just kinda shows just how hard it has been for me to keep myself motivated. 

I've written so many oneshots though. I wish I didn't delete my other Wattpad account that had my writings from that fandom, I think the oneshot book I had for it had roughly 50 oneshots that were written over the span of about two years

Holy cow, that's a lot of words.

Definitely. I mean right now with my 19 fics on ao3 I have a collective word count of 86,448 words. 

Random fun fact, my fic "Thunder Singing Lullabies" was inspired  by one of the oneshots in the collection, the title of the original oneshot was actually "Sick Stormy Mornings."

Alright, we're almost done! Any parting thoughts/shoutouts?

Shout-out to my second home, SimpHous! Also please continue supporting us writers/artists, it's practically the fuel that keeps us going, lmao. 

You can find Squish’s writing at Ship_On_The_Sea. And as always, if you have suggestions for The Tea Party, including authors you’d like to see interviewed, let me know! Thank you, everyone, and have a lovely day!

It was the summer before his third grade when his dad announced that they will be moving to Seoul because of a business opportunity. The then eight-year-old Yuta hated that he had to leave his friends just because he can't stay in Japan. He hated that he had to transfer schools and learn a new language. Why do they have to move to another country? Why not move to another city instead? 

When the teacher introduced him to the class of third graders, he just glared at his Korean classmates who were looking at him in wonder. He doesn't want to be friends with them. He doesn't want to talk. He doesn't want to learn a new language. He's Japanese, why would he speak Korean? The teacher told him - or at least that was what he understood - to sit on a vacant chair at the back of the class. His classmates were staring at him. He's the new guy, it's normal. But he hated the attention. 

It was lunch when he decided to eat on the school's rooftop. He wasn't surprised that it was locked but a girl was drawing on the door of the rooftop. Isn't she in his class? The girl seated in front of him? A crayon drawing of stick figures made him curious, what is that? 

A certain symbol caught his attention, a straight line with a beak-like image and wings at the end held by a stickman he believed is a girl because of the triangular picture below her body. "Sakura?" He asked and the girl jolted in surprise, quickly hiding what she was doing. "Cardcaptor Sakura?" 

The girl was wide-eyed, looked at her drawing then at him. He noticed how her eyes twinkle at that even if the area isn't well-lit. Or is it because she just cried? "You're that Japanese guy." She said in Korean and he only caught the words 'Japanese' and 'guy' so she's probably referring to him. "Do you know Cardcaptor Sakura?" He only nodded. It is a hit in Japan, everyone knows Sakura. "I like Cardcaptor Sakura!" She exclaimed with a bright smile. 

That was the first time he saw that girl who loves Sakura. The first classmate who talked to him as if they spoke the same language. He remembered handing her a comic of her favorite cartoons the next day and she introduced herself as Y/N, even asking him along the lines of 'Can you teach me Japanese?' and 'Do you want to be friends with me?' 

His initial plan of not knowing Korean or not talking to people backfired. He wanted to have a real conversation with this Sakura girl. His first Korean friend. 

Yuta would remember teaching her hiragana every lunchtime, on their own place by the door of the rooftop and she would teach him hangul in exchange. Before class, she would tell him stories about what happened to Sakura from the episode yesterday as if he didn't watch the same show. After class, they would spend some time in the playground waiting for her mom to pick her up. 

She was also the person who encouraged him to try out for the soccer team. Unlike in Japan, soccer isn't a required PE in Korea so his classmates were amazed that he knew how to play soccer, even defeating some older kids. "Yuta, sugoi!" She exclaimed that made him smile, a real genuine smile he never showed to everyone. "You're handsome when you smile. You should smile more often." It was her who made him smile more. Just because he wanted her to call him handsome once again. 

In fourth grade, the two were so close that she spent time in their home and him on hers. Sometimes she would even sleep at their place when her mom has to stay all night in the hospital. He found out that she doesn't have a dad, he left them when she's just a baby and that she would always cry in her sleep looking for her dad. Kids weren't very welcoming with the idea of a broken family either and he would often see her crying on the stairs to the rooftop. 

And now, she's the one who has children. A mom. He never imagined that he will see her as a mom in the future. He wondered if she still cries for her dad. He wonders if she still knew how to speak or write Japanese. He wonders if she could call him 'handsome' again. 

Yuta promised that he wouldn't stay that long in Korea, he wanted to leave as soon as the wedding was over and he had every reason why. But Mark Lee, his secretary, thinks that he needs to stay for a couple more days and think of it as a vacation before the big soccer leagues happen. 

"Your alma mater is inviting you to teach the soccer club," Mark noted as he stared at the email by the administration of his former elementary school. The place where he honed his soccer playing skills. 

The place where he met her. 

The younger guy was surprised when the soccer player agreed to the said invitation. Even forcing him to do it today before he changes his mind. Luckily, he doesn't have any schedules that day.

The school changed a lot. Well, it's been years since he last visited the place. A lot of buildings surrounded the soccer field and he watched how elementary kids played. They look so small or is it because he's used to watching the adults play? The principal greeted him and introduced him to the soccer coach who looked so cocky. But instead of heading to the soccer field, he asked the principal if he could look upstairs. 

His feet dragged him to the staircase to the rooftop. Their meeting place. The door changed color, erasing her drawing that they maintained for years. From the stick figures to an actual 2D drawing of Sakura and Syaoran. 

He wished he could just erase his memory of her as well. The same way as the drawings are erased. 

It was free period when he went down to the classrooms and saw little kids in the school's hallway. Are they this small? "It's because you don't have a dad." He heard a child say and saw that it's a huge kid, probably a third-grader, in his jersey. "The soccer team doesn't accept kids who don't have dads." Well, elementary didn't change. 

When his gaze caught the smaller boy he's talking to, a sudden feeling of recognition hit him. Jae. Y/N's son. "My dad lives abroad." He nodded, he's correct about that. 

"Dads should watch your soccer games." The older kid claimed, making Yuta shake his head. Are children’s behavior like this? Well, he really should refrain from making one of his own. "Accept it, Jae. You can never be good for the soccer team." 

"Yah!" Someone shouted from the side. "Stop bullying my brother." Yuta smiled as he watched the mini version of the girl occupying his mind shout at the bigger kids who were hurting her brother. She's totally different from her. "Did your dad teach you that?" 

The bigger kid only glared when the soccer coach called for him, and he quickly called him 'daddy'. So that is where his confidence came from. His gaze returned to the siblings, Jae was holding his sister's arm saying sorry that she had to get angry. Yuta smiled, that's their mom's attitude. Always apologetic. How can these two be a spitting image of her? Truly, they're her children. 

"Yuta Nakamoto," Jae called before he could flee the place. He greeted the young boy then smiled at the girl who was looking at him in curiosity. "I told you he's eomma's friend, noona. He knows my name." Yuta chuckled at that. He just met his youngest fanboy. 

The younger girl pulled her brother behind her that surprised Yuta. "Eomma said not to talk to strangers." The older smirked. She's really different from her mom. 

"Should we call your mom? Can you give me her number?" The girl shook her head and Yuta nodded, already texting Taeyong. He responded with her number and Yuta quickly called the said phone number, "Hi Y/N. It's Yuta." Both kids were staring at him, "I'm here in Jae's school. Can I bring them to the mall?" 

"Ahjusshi, can I see if it's my mom?" The girl asked and Yuta handed his phone to her. "Eomma?" The girl stared at him in wonder as she heard her mom's voice. "Then can we go with this ahjusshi?" She glared at him for a moment then nodded as if she’s talking to her mom. “She wants to talk to you.” 

“Yuta, you don’t have to do this if you’re busy.” But he wanted to. He wanted to spend time with them and learn about her as a mom. “Just message me where you are. I’ll pick them up.” He agreed. If only he could spend time with her as well. 

It was Jae who’s most excited when they reached the mall. The older girl stayed a few feet away from the two of them. Maybe she’s not interested. But really, she’s a tough nut to crack. He discovered that Jae wanted to play soccer but his mom doesn’t want him to, saying that he’s too young to play. So Yuta brought him to a shop where they sell sports shoes. “I’ll go talk to your mom. But for now, wear these soccer shoes,” he claimed while tying the younger boy’s shoelaces that made him beam. Jae hugged Yuta, thanking him for the shoes. “You’re welcome, bud.” 

Yuta realized that he didn’t know the older girl’s name. What was it? Did Y/N mention her name? To be safe, he just asked Jae about it. “Cherry,” he called then walked to where she was, staring at the skating shoes. “Do you want one?” She shook her head mumbling that their mom would get mad. “Besides, it’s not snowing.” He nodded. 

“We can go ice skating...” 

“You’re not my dad.” That made Yuta stop. Of course, he’s not. “Stop acting that you care about me or Jae. You’re just like the other guys.” Other guys? “You’ll leave me and Jae. You’ll leave eomma.” She’s a difficult nut to crack. 

Yet she’s so different when she’s next to her brother. The cold eyes were changed into warmness when her brother asked if they could play in the ball pit. She looked like a child, smiling at the younger as they bounced at the trampoline. She looks exactly like her. How can two children, both from the same parents, have so different personalities? 

He was just watching them, texting Y/N where he is, checking from time to time the two kids playing with the others in the ball pit area. "Hey," Y/N called, sitting beside Yuta on the mall bench. She smiled seeing the two playing. "Did they tire you?" 

Yuta laughed. "It's fine. They're cool." There was silence, a comfortable silence. It's awkward to see her now. A lot of things changed. "Jae has the same personality as you, that's cute." She giggled. "Cherry looks like you." 

Y/N nodded. "I'm glad she talks to you." 

"It was hard, honestly." He confessed and again, she giggled. That sound. He missed her laugh. "I think she wants to go figure skating." That surprised Y/N. "And Jae wants to play soccer."

"He's too young. He'll get hurt with the bigger kids." Yuta was about to revolt at that. "I remembered when you played with the bigger kids back in eighth grade." That was one of his worst plays ever. Until now, he can feel how hurt he is. 

She confessed that she doesn't know anything about sports that's why she's a little worried about sending her kids to the sports clinic that made him smile. She's such a mom. "I'll train Jae," Yuta announced that made her look at him. "I have to stay in Spain for two months for the league then I'll come back and teach Jae soccer." He explained. "I'll help Cherry too." 

"Yuta, you don't have to." 

"I want to." He held her hand. "Please." 

"Why are you holding hands?" Cherry asked that made Yuta let go of his hold on her. 

The older just gave her daughter a glare that made Yuta laugh. They look alike, the resemblance is too uncanny if you see them now yet they’re so different. “Eomma!” Jae called, reaching out to hug his mom. “I had fun today.” And she smiled at him. “Yuta samchon is so cool.” 

“He bought you shoes?” She asked, checking the new kicks on her son’s feet. Jae claimed that he also bought Cherry one that made the older girl glare at Yuta. “Did you say thank you?” Both nodded. 

Yuta smiled at them. They do look like a happy family. “I’ll get going. I’ll see you when I get back from Spain.” Y/N nodded. Yuta asked for a hug and Jae was the only one who’s ecstatic to hug him. Cherry rolled her eyes that made the older guy laugh. As expected. “Come on, Y/N, a hug.” He said, hands extended for the older girl. 

The girl giggled before giving him a tight hug. His hand rested on her back then the other on the back of her head, caressing her hair. “You’re doing a great job being a mom, Sakura.” 

She laughed before muttering the words, “I’m proud of you, Syaoran.” 

Watching the three of them head to a different way opposite him, he wished he would have another chance to bond with them. He would love to be with them. Maybe having children isn’t too bad.

Late Stage Swiftgron Part 1

Update from November 2021 - I really don’t believe much of this is meaningful at all.  I don’t think they’re sitting around referencing one another on social media or anything but some of Dianna’s interactions with Karlie are interesting Dianna shows up explicitly in Taylor’s life a couple more times so I’m leaving these sections here.;

From here on out everything but the 2014 AMAs and Dianna’s somewhat shocking appearance at Taylor’s 2019 SNL performance are just odd social media shenanigans (or subtweets) between the two, and Taylor appearing to release at least one more song about Dianna (Babe in 2018) (and let’s be honest you can make a strong argument for The 1 being about Dianna as well other post 1989 songs.)

Some of this might be complete crack or coincidence but as you all know I want this to be the most thorough Swiftgron document possible.  

If anything it proves they both certainly still have similar interests and they really do seem to be in touch.

There are some interactions claimed by others to be Swiftgron related that I’m not going to include because they’re just a bit too reachy for me (though I completely support the theorizing!) but in general, if I personally can see the hint of a Swiftgron connection, I’m going to include it here. Draw your own conclusions and take everything, particularly the alleged subtweets/social media shenanigans, with a grain of salt.

And yes there’s tons of Kaylor and other Gaylor/Gaygron content that will be left out of this segment because this masterpost is focused on Swiftgron.  Someday it would be cool to make a giant masterpost/timeline that documents all of it, but for now it’s just going to be Swiftgron stuff. August 26, 2014 - Dianna tweets, and then deletes “Withdrawals, clearly…we had fun.” 

There’s no screen shot of this tweet but some retweets/responses of it remain:

If Dianna is indeed referencing the song Clean (in which their relationship is compared to an addiction hence, “withdrawals” from it) then Taylor would have had to give her advanced knowledge of the song since 1989 did not come out until October 2014.

Taylor did claim she ran 1989 by the muse that inspired it and they were both in LA in late August 2014. Maybe this is when.

November 1, 2014 - Taylor posts about Clean

November 19, 2014 - The 2014 AMAs Kaylorgron Explosion Extravaganza:

Taylor, Karlie, and Dianna are at the event.  Taylor and Karlie are clearly on a date and Dianna is there to present Sam Smith’s performance of I’m not the only one.  Dianna seems a bit out of her element/gloomy when interviewed on the red carpet and Taylor flexes Karlie hard, dancing with her throughout the night and even sitting on her lap during an interview.

Click here for photos, video, gifs, and a live L chat reaction to the night.

December 28, 2014 - The writer for the tv show The Originals, Carina Mackenzie, tweeted that 1989 was about Dianna:

It’s of course notable that someone in the industry is “confirming” Swiftgron on main (particularly before gaylor went mainstream with Kaylor being so obvious in 2015/2016) however what’s even more interesting and notable about this tweet is that an actor named Michael Trevino was on the show The Originals and he dated Jenna Ushkowitz from 2011-2014.

Not only that but Michael was at Dianna’s 26th birthday when Taylor was in attendance as well.

It’s possible that Michael witnessed Swiftgron in real life and spilled a bit to the writer of the TV show he was on.

January 5, 2015 - Taylor likes a Swiftgron related post on Tumblr of Dianna saying she’d go on the road with Taylor and carry her bags at the Giffoni Film Festival in 2012:

February 9, 2015 - Style is released as a single

February 13, 2015 - The Kaylor “Best Friends” on a road trip Vogue Spread comes out.  You’re probably familiar with it but if you aren’t google it.  It’s incredibly romantic and pda filled.

The Style music video is released on this day as well.

We don’t have to go through the whole video but one egg I just have to note is the cave pictured in the MV is in Morocco the same country Dianna seemed to flee to after Swiftgron was outed:

February 14, 2015 - Dianna tweets 143 remember those days (for some reason it has not been deleted) seemingly in response to the Kaylor vogue shoot:

143 is a code that means “I love you” that originated from Mister Rogers.  Both Taylor and Dianna have publicly shown that they are fans of his.  Taylor has even made certain songs 3 minutes and 41 seconds long seemingly referring to this number and wore a Mister Rogers pin on a jacket for a photoshoot once.

Here’s a bit more in depth analysis on the significance of the 143 post.

This tweet is how we know that it is 100% in Dianna’s character to occasionally subtweet Taylor and why a lot of this social media analysis has been done.  

February 16, 2015 - Just two days later Dianna attends a fashion show in which Karlie walks and is noted to “have kept a smirk on her face” during.  Dianna doesn’t clap at the end of the show and looks miserable in photos of the event:

February 17, 2015 - Taylor releases Wonderland

I’m going to pause here and discuss the song Wonderland for a brief moment because it is some of the most incredibly airtight evidence for Swiftgron available.

Dianna’s favorite book of all time is Alice in Wonderland.  She brought it up in interviews all the time, tweeted about it, auctioned off a signed copy of it for charity, her private Tumblr and instagram account are called whosirmesir which is a reference to it, her private Tumblr is filled with reblogs about Alice, and her public Tumblr was called fell down the rabbit hole.

So the fact that Taylor writes an entire song describing a relationship through the lens of and packing full of references to Alice in Wonderland is incredibly interesting.

Let’s take a look at some of these lyrics:

Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we Fell down the rabbit hole (literally Dianna’s tumblr name and url)

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me (Dianna is famous for her beautiful almost hypnotic green eyes and yes they are green)

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds (queer coded)

Too in love to think straight (queer coded)

But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams (seems to reference when they were outed) You searched the world for something else (Dianna very publicly went travelling around the world right after April 2013 when they seem to break up)

Taylor literally put Dianna’s Tumblr URL in the song.  Frankly I’m kind of shocked she released this song at all it is so obviously and clearly about Dianna.  Truly a Swiftgron anthem!

Back to the timeline...

March 8, 2015 - Taylor posts Flamingos for her dad’s birthday:

The caption was “Happy Birthday, Dad. Thanks for all the unconditional love, sarcastic comments, and interesting Christmas presents.”

May 1, 2015 - Dianna posts a flamingo for her birthday (post is now deleted):

The caption was “This is 29. Spoiled rotten. Funny enough, at work they were painting the hallways white and the roses (hallway doors) red, then I actually went to Wonderland (@AliceUnderLdn) and came home to a surprise flamingo. Here we go. Another year around the sun…feeling lucky and loved and loved and lucky.”

Taylor also gave Emily, another rumored ex, a flamingo bandana for her birthday.  i also think it’s odd that Dianna mentions Wonderland specifically in the post.

January 15, 2016 - Dianna’s engagement to Winston is announced and Kaylors notice Taylor is liking sad posts on Tumblr including several posts related to Clean:

November 7, 2016 - Lorde’s birthday party where Kaylor is together in public for the last time for 20 months.

January 5, 2017 - Claire (who is still very close with Taylor) comments on one of Dianna’s Instagram posts):

March 2, 2017 - Dianna posts her James Dean inStyle UK photo to Instagram:

This is actually the second time she has posted this as a throwback photo.  She also posted it on February 4, 2016 with simply the caption “TBT” and did not include the “rebel without a clue” bit which is a reference to James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause). She’s never posted the same TBT photo twice before or after this (as of the writing of this post in October 2020).

It I may be permitted to go real far out on a limb here it’s almost as if she wanted people to connect that photo of her in the UK InStyle magazine to James Dean.  James Dean is of course the way Taylor describes her lover in the song Style.  

At any rate it’s very odd that it’s the only photo she’s posted twice whether it’s related to Taylor or not.

April 25, 2017 - Fans notice Dianna is having her script tattoo removed:

This is significant because a part of the tattoo was dedicated to Alice in Wonderland - it said “We’re all mad here” 

Tattoo removal is a years long process:

So it’s possible she started getting it removed around the time that Wonderland came out.

It’s also possible part of the tattoo was dedicated to Lea (the part that said “here I am”) so this whole removal situation is very interesting.

In 2019 she was still getting it removed and commented this at a Cafe Carlyle session:

"i was like i don't know i wanna explain all my tattoos or the one that i'm getting removed on my side...you know you're like...WHATEVER we're stopping we're moving on"

February 13, 2018 - Dianna attends the Carolina Herrera fashion show, so does Karlie. Dianna is introduced to Karlie by Derek Blasberg and very audibly calls Karlie “gorgeoouusss” as they meet. 

Kayda play “Gorgeous” by Taylor Swift.

Congratulations on 100 followers! Your writing is superb and more importantly, your taste in Taylor Swift is immaculate. I loved your drabble “Androgynous” because I’m a sucker for Draco as a Drag Queen so I would love to see something more in that universe, if you like! If not, how about “the old house” from your list? I love the stories about Draco and Harry turned Grimmauld/Potter Cottage into a home for them.

Hello my love! Thank you so much--it's wonderful to have a mutual with the same appreciation of Taylor's best songs, and a url that reflects it 😉. I'm so glad you loved Androgynous; it was so fun to write and it was meant to be a love letter to the found family; I was also excited to include just some of my own little found family in it. In that vein, I think the prompt you chose fits perfectly in that universe! So, without further rambling ado I give you, Drag Queen Draco, aka Tarasque, and Harry in Grimmauld Place! (P.S. You might recognize a few references to a Taylor song that I think fits perfectly.) Enjoy!

Draco's father would likely think it was rather gauche to still have the Christmas lights up after New Years, but then again he probably would leave them up all year-round if it meant Draco didn't dress in a wig, dress and heels every night.

But sod him. Draco was happy.

And this was one of his favorite parts of the night: getting into drag. He had a little extra time tonight, having decided to get ready at his and Harry's house rather than at the club.

Draco started on makeup, having already washed and prepped his face. He'd shaved his eyebrows soon after starting drag, and he'd always been hairless on his face, so it only took a quick cursory glance over his face to make sure he hadn't any hair to take care of.

Now was the fun part. And from the moment a makeup brush touched Draco's face, they became Tarasque.

They began with primer, smoothing their face and making it ready for the foundation, which came next to even their skin tone. They used the brush to blend the makeup, down their neck and chest and up to their temples.

Next, they picked up their favorite liquid contour, but they used it lightly. The first time they'd contoured their face, Cori'd laughed so hard they had tears in their eyes.

"Tarasque, love, you don't need to use so much," they'd said. "You have such amazing cheekbones already, just use it to emphasize them a little."

Draco chuckled a little at the memory, now sucking in their cheeks as they expertly applied the contour, remembering not for the first time how right their drag mother had been. They continued to contour around their jaw to give the appearance of a longer, thinner neck.

They continued their routine, but they let their eyes roam around the bedroom.

Draco and Harry had taken pains to renovate Grimmauld Place when they'd moved in together. The two of them stripped the house of its dreary and depressing decor, and Draco had been absolutely giddy to remove the nasty old portraits in the house, weeding out the ones they no longer cared for by completing the task in full drag. Any relatives that spared Draco anything more negative than a genuinely curious expression found themselves quickly stripped of their place on the wall.

Since then, they'd created something truly tasteful and modern out of the old, stuffy rubbish. Silver, Cori, and Claire had been instrumental in helping Draco and Harry find comfortable and beautiful furniture, while still paying some homage to the original design. They left the same dining room table since both Harry and Draco had to admit it was quite regal. They also kept the Black family tapestry, moving it to a room at the back of the house they used to store things they didn't care to look at every day but couldn't bear to throw or give away. Finally, the appliances were old but usable after some restoring spells, and now they were shiny and working perfectly.

They'd added a refrigerator and a few other Muggle touches to make it more accessible to Harry and surprisingly more convenient for Draco, including a television. When they'd first moved in, Harry'd had a hard time prying Draco from the television. And now, Grimmauld Place was the regular gathering spot for all Drag Race watch parties, which inevitably ended with everyone sleeping in the living room, drunk and giddy with laughter.

And Draco may or may not have cried when Harry put on "Paris is Burning" for the first time.

Harry'd insisted on keeping plenty of pictures, both magical and Muggle, around the house. There were moving pictures of all their friends and family--Ron, Hermione, the entire Weasley clan, Andromeda, Teddy, and Harry's parents. For Draco's part, there was Narcissa and his found family, Cori, Claire, Silver, Pansy, and Blaise.

Draco smiled at a picture of their friends, reminding them to continue their makeup process.

When they finished applying their makeup and setting it, they reached over and put their wig in a secure travel bag, ensuring that it would be safe during Apparation. They stepped into their outfit for the evening--a simple black dress--and cast a protection spell on it to keep it from any stains or damage.

Looking in the mirror, Draco assessed their outfit. The blue heels lengthened their legs, and the tight black dress emphasized the padding on their arse and the perfect sinch of their waist. Satisfied, they turned and were startled a little by a knock at the door.

"Draco? Can I come in?" Draco smiled softly. After all this time together, Harry was still so respectful of Draco's space when getting in and out of drag.

"Yes, love, I'm ready."

Harry entered the room, eyes widening when he saw Draco. "Merlin," he said breathily. "No matter how many times I see you as Tarasque, I don't know if I'll get over how incredibly sexy you look."

Draco smirked. "Developing a new kink are we?"

Harry looked at them with blazing eyes. "My kink is Draco Malfoy, in any way they look."

Draco's heart skipped a beat. They gave Harry a soft smile. "I love you."

Harry grinned. "I love you too. You leaving now?"

"The show's in a half-hour, so I've got to get to the club to put on my wig."

"I'll be there when it starts, sitting with Cori, Claire and Silver."

"Alright."

"Have a good show, love," Harry said as Draco stepped into the Floo.

Draco smiled. "Thank you, Harry. I'll see you soon."

Draco disappeared from their shared home in a swirl of green flames, knowing that Harry would follow them soon after.

Apologies for the delay in getting this one successfully revenged and sent back to you, but having 6(!) E's in your URL proved to be a little challenging where questions were concerned, hence some of them being a little on the tame and unimaginative side... but, hopefully they prove interesting enough, and I look forward to your answers... you missed out on the opportunity to rename yourself as 'Bob' too, so you only have yourself to blame! ; )

D - Describe your perfect day

E - Explain why you chose this as your Tumblr url

L - Last time you got mad at someone and why?

A - An artist or painter you admire

B - Biggest fear

I - Imagine you could go back in time to a moment in your past; what would you tell your past self and why

M - Most beautiful place you have ever visited

E - Earliest memory from your childhood

D - Do you strive more for stability or spontaneity?

E - Emotion you show the most

Bob is lacking the right finesse. 🦇

No offense to any men named Bob.

You’re doing your best.

Anyway, it took you long enough....

Kidding. Maybe. I was starting to think you were throwing up the white flag without announcement.

But, here we go! 🖤

D - Describe your perfect day

I don’t really like to limit my pleasures to one life experience. Many things bring me solace and happiness. I prefer it that way.

It could be a chilly morning in winter, a cup of coffee in my hand and a book in the other, warming up for a holiday shopping trip.

It could be a quiet evening in autumn, where the leaves are crunching around my feet as I pass through the woods in my cloak.

Or it could be a cool afternoon strolling along a shore with gray skies watching the waves of the ocean crash, hearing the world retreat as the rain begins to fall.

I think my perfect day is any day without anxieties, sadness or chronic pain.

E - Explain why you chose this as your url.

“de l'abîme des ténèbres” translates from french to “from the abyss of darkness.”

Initially, I began with “the ascending abyss” as my url to refer to the rise and transformation of the abyss. But, it didn’t feel applicable to my work or feel like the best representation of the abyss, anymore. I feel the abyss doesn’t rise...it simply is. It is what creates transformation. I wanted a new url that reflected that.

Most of my creative work (ie. art, writing, etc) centralizes around the symbolism, spirituality and alchemy of darkness in relations to the concept of the abyss and all other nuances possibly connected to anti-matter.

My choice to go with a french translation came from a love of the French Gothic Metal band ‘Dark Sanctuary.’

In the very title alone of the band, they represent the emotions the darkness elicits within myself: it’s my sanctuary. The darkness is an abode I live and reign within.

I listen to this band quite religiously and they inspire me significantly with their music. I feel they deeply resonate with the depths of my heart and soul. Their own work is considered to be dark atmospheric and that is the general energy of my creations.

L - Last time you got mad at someone and why?

I was mad at my room mate for harassing me about washing dishes (he avoids doing them) while I warned him I was running a fever. He learned to pitch in without complaint after he saw proof my health was rapidly declining.

He also surprised me by buying me a pain cream to apply to my neck since he knows I’ve been too sick to go to the spine specialist for my nerve procedure. He didn’t have to do that, but I’m grateful.

A - An Artist or Painter you admire.

I think I have to acknowledge Leonardo da Vinci and Gustave Doré equally here.

They are two of my biggest inspirations when it comes to my art as they have a huge influence over my traditional mediums. They were both brilliant visionaries and I aspire to be even a tiny shroud as skilled and confident as they were.

More modern artists I really love and admire include Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Nene Thomas, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell.

B - Biggest Fear

I would rather not disclose this one. It’s too personal and I prefer to keep it private unless I know someone well enough to tell them.

I - Imagine you could go back in time to a moment in your past; what would you tell your past self and why?

I would not wish to interact with my past self.

I would want her to feel free and uncorrupted to live life and make her own choices purely. I do not have desires to manipulate her decisions. She should look upon her life with a clear and clean conscious and stable discernment. No truths I know now are any more superior or perfect to the truths of the past. All points of life are intrinsically flawed. It’s what we chose to do with life in the present that matters.

M - Most beautiful place you have ever visited.

I have been to many beautiful places, but one that felt significant for me was when I visited Costa Rica. It has the most exquisite beaches.

I loved watching the sun set on the black sand. It was like watching hues of gold to reddish stars sparkling and bursting across the night sky, but that sky was soft and I could touch it.

It was magic.

E - Earliest memory from your childhood?

It’s going to sound strange, but I can remember when I was born. I remember conversations and behaviors. I remember having a young nurse. I remember my father fighting with my mother in the labor room over my name and storming out. I can even remember to points going further back to when I was still in my mother’s belly.

I remember her warmth and hearing voices. I was very sensitive to male voices as they were very loud and disrupted my sleep. I wasn’t fond of my mom’s primary care doctor, because it was a man. He made me grumpy. I remember preferring to sleep on my left side a lot, but turning to my right occasionally if I didn’t like a light or temperature change. I still sleep that way. My right side is still my sensitive side.

D - Do you strive more for stability or spontaneity?

I prefer a balance of the two; because, too much of anything creates chaos inevitably, whether it’s internal chaos (too much stability) or external chaos (too much spontaneity).

I love excitement, but I also love to be relaxed. I do not want to lead a life that feels stagnated and predictable, but that doesn’t mean I should forsake control. A life out of control is devoid of passion in it’s own way. You can’t be passionate if everything is always rushing out of your hold.

E - Emotion you show the most?

My most expressed emotion is “the lack of emotion.” I am like a blank canvas by default. It’s not that I do not feel anything, because I am a very emotional being, but I do not express it often on the surface what it is I am thinking or feeling. I just do not see the point in always advertising my thoughts and emotions.

People constantly try to decipher me like my face is speaking an alien language and feel perplexed when they can’t do it. They try to rationalize it with statements like “you look depressed,” “why don’t you smile,” “your eyes look like they’re hiding a world,” “you look very mysterious,” etc but I don’t feel the need to constantly express myself to others.

S - Strangest thing you own and why?

It’s hard to pick one thing....

It could be the Yak Bone from a Tibetan tribe.

Or one of two tombs I possess that relate to ritual practices, including sacrifices to the devil.

It’s a bottle of rain water I sat under the eclipse.

It’s a collection of albino peacock feathers.

An angel’s feather I keep locked up.

I may or may not own grave yard dirt.

My bedroom is a place of oddities.

T - Talent you wish that you had?

I wish I could play piano or perform ballet.

I was almost a ballerina when I was little, but I was too shy and the instructor refused to teach me as a result of it.

E - Ever desire something unattainable or forbidden?

Yes, but only my lover will ever get to find out what it is, if he’s lucky. I won’t make it easy to extract the answer from me. It will be a bigger temptation to keep it a mystery and always have him guessing.

N - Newest hobby you have taken up?

Actually, I can’t think of a new hobby I have taken up. I am challenging myself more with painting which is out of my comfort zone, if that counts?

E - Ever embarrass yourself in public?

I am not the type to experience embarrassment easily. I do not put that much value in people’s reactions to what I’m doing.

B - Best gift you have ever received?

Love.

Raw, authentic, honest, loyal, passionate love. It is rare and precious to receive a heart that gives and doesn’t just take.

R - Restaurant of choice?

Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse or J. Alexander’s Contemporary Restaurant.

Both have phenomenal food and wine if you ever want to take your lady out somewhere with great service and cuisine. Just make sure you take enough money, because they’re not cheap. There’s a good chance you’re spending close to or past the triple digits.

E - Ever had your heart broken?

Once and he wasn’t worth it, but I guess that’s true for any heartbreak. Any one that can hurt you like that isn’t worth your time.

S - Silliest thing you have ever done?

I think the silliest things I’ve done in life so far can be summed up to “my best friend and I got drunk in her basement and we are confusing her cat.”

PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW BETTER

1. Alias / name:    che 2. Birthday:    like anyone worth their salt...in april 3. Zodiac sign:    ew are u going to ask my myers-briggs next 4. Height:    on the cusp of average 5. Hobbies:    writing, drawing, media consumption, cooking, crosswords, diy, studying 6. Favorite color:    pink isn’t a standard option in many things and it’s upsetting 7. Favorite book:    adults don’t actually “read” so i’m going to take this as an opportunity to promote howard the duck, specifically the 2015-2016 run by chip zdarsky and joe quinones, especially because it is getting a hardcover collector’s release in november and, like, the collector, i intend to make that duck mine.  8. Last song:    my sister and i were just singing “we love you conrad” from bye bye birdie to our dog if that counts 9. Last film / show:    like much of twitter, i missed the end of the emmys (because CBS decided to not exist), but it’s okay because that means i didn’t have to see hamilton win anything. also miracle workers. it’s a good show, but if you need convincing to watch, it has daniel radcliffe dancing very sexually to “she’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes.” 10. Recent reads:    i have at least 12 tabs open on my phone with different manga, but i couldn’t tell you the titles off the top of my head and i think that says a lot. go read chainsaw man before the anime comes out. i promise the fandom isn’t that annoying if you ignore makima fans. 11. Inspiration: sometimes music, but i am incredibly picky, so most won’t do anything for me...movies work much better, especially if they’re overflowing with chintzy emotion. in terms of general characterwork, i’m often inspired by fashion and interior design. who would wear this outfit and why? what kind of person lives here? that sort of thing.  12. Story behind url:    gokiburikko = gokiburi + burikko. “gokiburi” is japanese for cockroach, and conveys a sense of resilience and determination. to be a cockroach is to be unbeatable—to stand tall, even when the world doesn’t want you. burikko is a pejorative japanese term for someone who acts overly cutesy, particularly in a way that is often perceived as fake (to curry favor). if that’s what it takes to survive...do you know which character this refers to? 13. Fun fact about me:    i'm actually so funny

Getting to Know You - Tag Game

I was tagged by @susuwatari-kompeito and, @yibo-wang​, @jingyismom​ and a few others ❤ Thank you! (also sorry but I take forever to do tag games sometimes lol......)

1. Why did you choose your url?

It’s a combination of jie (as in 姐 sister) with Suibian (as in Wei Wuxian’s hilarious name for his sword). Also I vaguely liked the idea of “whatever sis.” Me and my braincells shouldn’t be in charge of naming anything tbh 😂

2. Any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

Kind of, but they’re all very casual or made as a joke. One is Wormxian for reasons that are too long to list here. Another is a sideblog I use for organizing posts I wanna save and maybe reference later.

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Ooooh, let’s see. This blog was made at the end of January of this year after I watched The Untamed, but my first Tumblr blog was created in 2013-ish. There’s a gap in-between where I didn’t really use Tumblr at all, so I guess that’s an answer? 😂

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Sure do! It’s Between queue and me there’s no need for ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’ for obvious Wangxian reasons. 

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Because I watched The Untamed and just had all these FEELINGS so needed a place to vent and shitpost about them  (￣▽￣*)ゞ

6. Why did you choose you icon/pfp?

It was pretty and I stan Lan Wangji 😁

7. Why did you choose you header?

I don’t think my current theme shows a header on desktop. On mobile it’s a custom header I made with vectors from my 1k milestone post. 

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

This one! I took my favorite Jingyi line from the MDZS novel and went through a scene from the CQL Yi City arc frame by frame to find the perfect matching shots. Really surprised how many notes it got, but that’s what Jingyi deserves ❤

10. How many followers do you have?

Way way more than I ever expected. Thank you all for following me and my 2 brain cells! 

11. How many people do you follow?

80 right now

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Pretty sure it’s not an exaggeration to say my content is at least 50% CQL shitposts.😂

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

14. Did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? Who won?

That sounds exhausting, I just delete/block/scroll past and move on with my life lol. 

15. How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?

Having survived many iterations of those “forward this email to 10 friends or X will happen” chains of the early internet years, I usually just scroll past and Bloody Mary can catch these hands if she tries to disturb my sleep.

16. Do you like tag games?

I do, mostly! Though sometimes I take forever to fill them out.

17. Do you like ask games?

I don’t think I’ve played one yet. Next time I see an interesting one on my dash I’ll have to reblog 😊

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Sure I know some BFNs but they’ll murder me on the spot if I call them out ❤😁

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

If you don’t lowkey crush on your mutuals then what even is the point

[lovee-infected]

hello, i'm a big admirer of your theories and watching a movie based on the disney park i thought of a connection between the haunted mansion and the disorganized dormitory, was that a reference about the school's past or if there is a chance to have but a ghost that has a connection with the foundation of the school? it would be very interesting to know how the school came about or in whom the disorganized dormitory hurts inspired, maybe it's just a random idea but I kept thinking about it💓

Hi there and thank you very much darling !😄💕💕💕💕💕💕 Well first of all , I'm greatly sorry for my awfully late response - This ask came when my url was still @/geodraconia (Oof-long ago) and I was mainly a twst theory-only blog...

And now , this isn't a random idea at all my dear and thank you very much for leading me to it ! I'd previously written theories for the Ramshackle dorm but the haunted mansion..? I watched lots of streams and videos for this and I can't believe how much I've been missing all this time omg-

Well then ! Let's go for it !

Twisted Wonderland theories part 4 : Haunted mansion and Eliza's background :

First of all let us quickly review what we previously found about Ramshackle dorm's possible inspirations :

The designs are clearly based off Disney's thro the mirror and there's no argue on it - But the same design was used in the video game epic Mickey as well

The other point was with the ghosts . I was pretty sure that they're designed after disney's famous lonesome ghosts for both designs and the house they lived in which did share similarities with Ramshackle dorm

Full theory here

Well I totally missed the biggest hint amd that would be the haunted mansion ; a direct and strong source for not only our beloved ghosts but also the main reason and reference of our latest and so far , greatest event which would be the ghost marriage

Before I start talking about what and why leaded to Eliza's story ; let me have a small update on the haunted mansion:

With some YouTube videos and documentaries on the haunted mansion's establishment , you may now understand the high similarities between the Ramshackle dorm and the well-known haunted mansion better :

You can check the videos out for full explanation but let me just bring some of the interesting hints out here :

1) The three men and the ghosts : Pretty similar to Ramshackle's ghosts , aren't they ?? I still can't relate to the third ghost or...corpse with that beard but take a look at the other two : From the form of the skull...to the shape of the hat . Familiar , right ?

2) The mirror : No extra words I guess , the picture has it all ( Not much different from our dark mirror , is it?)

Well if you guys watch the YouTube video you'll get to see plenty of more details in a better explanation there , but for now let's get to my favorite part :

The ghost bride :

Well then before having a look at where Eliza did exactly come from , let's review the mostly mentioned thoughts on her

1) Eliza does have a Hamilton reference : I personally agree on this one . Since Disney had hosted a Hamilton remake in the late years and because both stories have a bride who is blinded b love and doesn't see the incomplete parts of their crush (Alexander Hamilton vs Idia Shroud lol-) that's pretty possible to be ( I actually had a doubt whether the ghost bride's name is pronounced as El-ee-za or El-ai-zaa and so @poisonepel helped me with it )

2) Eliza is based off the corpse bride : Well this one seemed a bit too good to be true since Tim Burton's Corpse Bride isn't a Disney original , but due to what I found on the bride's background , it wasn't that wrong

Well recently @vaudedrome-dorm too shared pics of the latest ghost bride from Tokyo's 2019 event and the similarities are just too obvious . But the story is far greater than just a cute 2019 parade ; let's return to The haunted mansion's first days

When the haunted mansion was finally open to the public , a ghost named hatbox ghost was one of the strongest-spookiest hints there to frighten visitors ; but due to some reasons , this ghost was immediately replaced with a newer figure named : Ghost bride which hasn't ever been even close to getting removed so far

The first design is believed to be this painting which was inspired by this mysterious photography , (close enough huh..?)

Then through later designs , the ghost bride was given plenty of changes . Each one creepier after another ...

Well well , as you can see , the first designs weren't much pleasant amd the main design was a corpse with a beating heart on chest , which later grow famous with the nickname of Beating heart bride was the longest design our bride has been through. Designs did change a lot during it's time , but the heart remained the same

2) Well years later after having the heart beating bride for too long , they decided to give it an all new design : They removed the heart and instead , came up with a fully digital blue-ish phantom of the bride , which seemed more suitable for the haunted mansion

The bride is stcuk next to the mirror and pics in the middle of the ride , but the most interesting part are the portraits . They show a woman dressed as a bride stepping next to a man , as you move through the ride , the man's head disappears as if his head gets cut of or better to say : they proves that the groom had died

Another amazing design at the haunted mansion is how a ghost marriage is supposed to be taking place there . Portraits and designs are another aspect of it :

Due to having different designs over the time ; plenty of different stories have bee spreaded about the ghost bride's possible back ground , but let's look at the two of the most famous ones of them :

1) Constance, also known as the Black Widow Bride, who was unveiled in the 2006/2007 upgrades having replaced the original beating heart bride tells the story of a bride who murders her husbands and takes their riches for herself, hence the name Black Widow Bride. Constance does not however tell us all of her secrets and we are left to imagine the worst. While it is nice to leave the audience wanting more…

Well well that's all that was explained so far about the beating heart bride which was the first and almost the most famous design of the ghost bride

2) Now Melanie, who is in DLRP, is a completely different story…she was a young bride in love but whose father was completely against her marriage and was devoted to stopping it no matter what…but her parents died in an accident so happy ever after right? No…her groom was then killed by the Phantom of the Manor (I’m not sure who this is or WHY he wanted to kill the groom) and so she kept waiting for him to show up at the alter even in death. And again you’re left with questions, or at least I am…who is the Phantom in this Manor and why did he kill Melanie’s groom? Was he her father hell-bent on stopping her marrying this young man? Was he a jealous suitor?

I believe most of you are well-familiar with Tim Burton's Corpse Bride which is actually based off this story . So to everyone who assumed Eliza to be based off Corpse bride : You were indirectly right ! Because the bride we now are talking about is most likely based off the same thing Burton was inspired by

Okay , now let's get to our best part of the bride's history , something that is indubitably Yana's main and direct reference for Eliza's design : TADA !

Let's take a look at Tokyo's 2019 Spooky "Boo!" Parade where this version of the bride showed up ; a special tokyo event featuring the haunted Mansion but his time , with all alive and human cast :

Spooky "Boo!" Parade :

I leave reading the full info to you but let me bring the important parts out ; the bride

In 2019, the Bride was added to the parade. She walked in front of the float with Mickey and the knights. Her appearance differed from previous Bride costume characters - her hair is done up in a bun, and her dress and veil are more stylized and cartoony - but her dress is designed with a red heart in the center of her chest. This was the first time that the original bride appeared in the parks as a live character.

The bride was accompanied by five men dressed in matching suits and top hats. They acted as admirers to her. They proposed to her and she playfully pushed them away, as they made their way down the parade route.

I wanna focus on this part again

You see!?? Yana didn't come up with that story out of thin air ! The bride , the haunted Ramshackle dorm , the marriage , the slapped proposers!!!! They were are designed based on canon Disney events along with her knowledge and research ; just , impressive

omg...I mean I know that Yana always does her research but this...this was waaaaay greater than what I was expecting...

Upcoming is the Wish upon a star event and many already are expecting it to be a Pinocchio reference , but who knows ? What surprises is Yana willing to give us this time ? Let's see

[datsderbunnyblog]

I saw a post that mentioned you're rereading Jingo, which reminded me to go reread it myself. And I just got to the part where Nhobi and Al steal some clothes off a donkey. And the first thing they find are fezzes.

I'd just like to point out too, that Pterry was a Dr Who fan, who could not stop watching the show despite his criticism of it. Fezzes are cool.

I really need to watch Doctor Who! Thanks, I didn’t know that! Jingo is one of my absolute favourites, and, indeed, it’s where I found my url! It’s funny that you should mention Jingo today, I was thinking about the part with the donkey only yesterday; specifically, this part:

‘Can you think of any reason why I should go around with an inflatable donkey?’

‘Well, you-’

‘One that you wouldn’t mind explaining to your own dear mother?’

Not only is this yet another example of Vetinari’s stellar sense of humour, it’s another reminder that he’s not as out-of-touch with the city as one would expect from the head of the rich and powerful Vetinari family, and the ruler of Ankh-Morpork. Not that we need any further excuses to love him, right?

Anyway, ready for some Jingo trivia?

Vetinari’s magic act is a Tommy Cooper reference; I must confess that I didn’t get this myself until someone else pointed it out, but especially for my non-British followers, Tommy Cooper was a famous magician/comedian, who was 6′4″ tall and wore a red fez.

Vetinari’s trick is a direct reference to one of Tommy Cooper’s: ‘Egg, melon! Melon, egg’/’Glass, bottle. Bottle, glass.’ It is again referenced in ‘Donkey, minaret. Minaret, donkey.’. There is one more reference in The Truth too, actually, William is listening to the Guild of Conjurors’ somewhat apathetic evening class: ‘Egg. Glass. Glass. Egg. Magic word... Fazammm. Just like that. Ahahahahaha...’

The main difference with Vetinari’s act is that the magic tricks actually worked. And this in itself is rather nice, because Vetinari is a performer, through and through, although we never get to see much of the sleight of hand at work (except a few little hints of the illusion here and there, in Going Postal for example).

There was also a 20th century music hall act called Wilson, Keppel and Betty, and Cooper’s own act was similar to street performers known as Gully Gully Men. And, of course, there’s Fred Colon’s line: ‘You can call me Al’, a reference to the Paul Simon song!

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

oh dude i didn’t even know that was an anxiety i had until i used tumblr. the compulsion and my adhd guilt brain feels bad for not doing or doing anything. initially i would reblog it because my guilt for scrolling over something that i am not the target audience for didn’t sit right with me and i would reblog every chain post and took me a while to work out the balance and tell myself that these reblog and something will/ won’t happen is not how life works so don’t let that hover in your brain and make you feel bad and idk dude lmao

do you like tag games?

i like them, i get to know my friends because of them, but i also get overwhelmed and a lot of times mentally answer them and forget to actually respond and then feel guilty days if not weeks later that they waited for me to talk or interact and then i didn’t. oh and the very long tag games like you know mutual to mutual and tag mutuals i don’t know something like that happens and i freeze in my tracks lmao

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i think a lot of them, if not most of them.

do you have a crush on a mutual?

platonically, yes. real strong.

[leverage-ot3]

to all the leverage fans out there, I thought I’d throw out some recommendations of other shows that y’all might like

this is completely centered around the lgbt aspects of leverage (how none of the characters are straight, how there is a canon ot3, etc), because I know other people have recommended white collar and stuff but I haven’t personally seen that and I’m just a humble lgbt wanting to share more gay shows with y’all

1. wynonna earp (my sideblog is @angelicearps)

just renewed for a fourth season after two years (this feeling is very familiar to leverage fans)

the first episode of season four aired last night and IM SCREAMING the writers served us a five course meal

the main love story includes waverly earp, a CANON (officially as of 4.01) bisexual girl falling in love with nicole haught, a lesbian cop-turned-sheriff (that’s a slight spoiler, so sorry about that) and both of them are main characters

wynonna earp, another main character, has a complicated relationship with two different men and is not slut shamed for it and is never put down about it

I’m serious- the healthiest and most stable relationship in the show is between waverly and nicole, so wlw nation rise

wynonna and waverly are descendants of the great gunslinger (and demon killer) wyatt earp, who ended up getting a curse on his future generations. the story of the show is centered around wynonna being the chosen heir having to fight demons and try to break the curse for good

doc holiday is another main character- yes, that doc holiday. he’s one of wynonna’s love interests and he has such a pure and loving relationship with waverly. he’d literally die for her and move heaven and hell to make sure she’s safe (that’s literally canon)

jeremy comes in around season two if I remember correctly. canon gay. gets in a relationship with another canon gay character whose name I am blanking on. they are very loving and very pure

literally, in 4.01, when armed military men are breaking into the earp homestead and he doesn’t know what to do, he literally says: “gays only?” lol they didn’t respect that answer

the show has so many good quips and one-liners. so many hilarious lines. it can be an angsty show at times but they definitely balance it out with humor and wlw softness between waverly and nicole

wynonna has a baby in season two and literally calls herself a milf

it also made fans faint because they have been calling nicole “daddy” for like six years and nicole was referred to as daddy three (3) times in 4.01

this show is NOT AFRAID to say things like gay, lesbian, etc. at one point someone tweeted at emily andreas (the writer) asking her to amp up the gay energy and she responded that she would

literally, emily andreas is on the same level as john rogers with trustability and dedication to fans

emily andreas heard of the bury your gays trope and did us one better: unkillible gays trope. the gays are unkillable.

2. motherland: fort salem (my sideblog is @fortsalem)

(HELL YEAH I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE FANDOM AND I GOT THE HANDS DOWN B E S T URL)

au where during the salem witch trials a witches named sarah alder made an agreement with the government that witches would serve for the us army in exchange for not being systematically hunted down and killed

THIS IS NOT MILITARY PROPAGANDA. sorry, I just had to make this point early on because it’s not even though it might seem like it in the beginning. literally by the end of the season you see it’s very corrupt

since this is an alternate history of the united states, in this universe there are no heteronorms. literally, there’s literally no words for lesbian and bisexual that they use because it’s so normalized and common and accepted that there’s no need for terms like that

the main love story is of star-crossed raelle and scylla. raelle comes from a poor family and is a talented healer, and (this isn’t technically a spoiler because you find out in episode one) scylla is a member of the spree

the spree is a terrorist organization of witches that protests the compliance witches are forced into by having to join the military or die/be imprisoned

scylla is supposed to turn raelle to the “dark side” but falls so deeply in love with her that she can’t do it (THATS TRUE LOVE FOLKS)

the students at fort salem (the military school) are divided into groups of three: the main group being focused on is composed of raelle, tally, and abigail

tally craven is a pure-hearted baby and I’d die for her. she is very idealistic about fighting in the military (but don’t worry that’s fixed by the end of the season)

abigail bell weather comes from a high military family and is kinda really stuck up about it, but she’s humbled a lot by the end of the season. this girl has LAYERS (they all do, but abigail goes through a lot and goes from very stuck up and stuck up the military’s ass to questioning everything she knows)

the trio starts off rocky, especially between raelle and abigail, because raelle blames abigail’s mother for her mother’s death (her mother’s unit was led by abigail’s mother)

the beltane episode literally hits you in the face with how there are literally no heteronorms whatsoever. they do this sacred dance where by the end they will end up with the people they are destined to spend the celebration with (“trust the dance”). raelle makes friends with a gay guy and they spend the celebration making fun of the sex noises around them and become gay friends for life. abigail has sex with two (2) guys who kiss each other. a group of four girls went off together. a group of two girls and a guy went off together. and sex isn’t shamed. at all. in fact, it’s respected as a part of life. and y’all, literally this representation was OFF THE CHARTS

the witch’s most powerful tool is their voice,,, think about that for a minute

it’s an all girls school so there are like no guys whatsoever minus the beltane episode and a couple others

EMPOWERED WOMEN (of all ages and ethnicities too)

3. siren (my sideblog is @polymarinelove)

imma start off by saying that season three doesn’t exist. don’t watch season three. don’t do it. the disappointment is real

ANYWAYS

the central love story is between an interracial couple (a white guy and his black girlfriend that has a native american stepfather) that turns into a loving polyamorous relationship

maddie, the girlfriend, is amazing and incredibly smart and the first two seasons (and the beginning of the third) accentuate that and they never downplay her because she’s a black woman like many shows and movies do. she’s a smart stem woman and we stan her so hard. she’s also bisexual.

ben, the guy, comes from a rich family that are basically the hotshots of the town and own the fishing company that the community works for. his dad is hella untrustable. ben doesn’t trust him and neither should you. he is kindhearted and smart and respectful, and at one point teaches a merman about consent after being kissed by him (and he didn’t even #nohomo it which was AMAZING)

now to the mermaids

mermaids are apex predators. they are very dangerous. they are very strong. they’re also wickedly smart, canon smarter than humans

the story begins when donna, ryn’s sister, is captured by a fishing boat and carted off to a military facility. ryn comes to land to try to find and save her. (she literally choses her name because she sees a character on a kid’s tv show saying “I am ryn” which is also the first thing in english that she can say)

she ends up being helped by ben and maddie and legit is like these humans are hot imma learn english for them

there’s a lot of really cool and thought out lore as well as TONS of thoughtful marine biology science that makes sense

oh and transforming from mermaid to human? painful as FUCK. realistic depictions of having your body literally transform into something else

humans are wrecking the oceans and that’s a heavy theme of the show

oil rigs are poisoning the water (making them infertile) and killing mermaids with their sonic drilling

so ben and maddie lowkey commit an act of ecoterrorism but it’s chill

“ben and maddie are love” they’re poly, bitches

they come together in a natural, organic way

very healthy and communicative

ben’s alright but ryn and maddie are amazing

don’t watch season three if you don’t want to be majorly disappointed. the writers listened to the homophobic trolls on instagram and broke up the polyamorous relationship and I’ll NEVER forgive them for that. seasons one and two are amazing though. just don’t watch the third one.
