#and your actual healing too lol AHAHAH

[bitwynn]

Ive just been watching Avatar The Last Airbender clips lately and like-- lol what if in SAGAU you teach them to control their Vision powers similarly to how characters in the show bend their respective elements??

So like-- i imagine that Anemo, Pyro, and Electro Vision holders would have similar moves and spend a lot of time with each other since i do remember Uncle Iroh calling the Air and Fire elements very similar to each other. It reflects in their bending as well, it just differs in their approach to it. While both have similar bending styles, the Air benders are much more passive and defensive in their bending while Fire benders are much more aggressive and offensive-- you can really see it whenever Aang and Zuko fight. I put Electro in there as well since electricity in the Avatar world is a highly specialized and advanced fire bending skill. I imagine a lot of Vision holders in Inazuma would DEFINITELY try to figure out the lightning redirection skill out of fear of the Raiden Shogun LOLLLL

The water element is STILL OP AS FUCK with Hydro, Cryo and Dendro learning a whole lot from each other. Cryo is there because of obvious reasons aka ICE IS JUST HARD WATER GUYS WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MAKE IT A SEPARATE ELEMENT-- and Dendro is there because plant bending in ATLA (yes plant bending is a thing) is just finding the water in the plants to bend them. The theory is similar to metal bending and blood bending-- you find the bendable parts amidst the unbendable parts and you move those.

Geo is just Geo because... its GEO. ITS JUST ROCKS. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE.

I imagine that the Anemo guys, Venti especially, would very much enjoy their new found speed and agility with Venti just yoinking the concept of an Airbender Staff for himself or even inventing new ways to Windglide using the gliders already there and just innovating the already existing skill. Heizou would also really appreciate it, considering how he doesnt really like fighting and prefers incapacitating criminals as swiftly as possible in or out of a fight. The fuckery you could do as an Airbender man--

Like i said earlier, the Pyro and Electro Vision holders would really take a special interest in each other. I can imagine Thoma trying to find someone with an Electro Vision so he can try to learn how to deflect lightning. (Haha ARCHON QUEST GUILT--) and ohhhhh my gOD i can already see cOUNTLESS cocky Pyro and Electro Vision holders in Inazuma AND EVEN OUT OF INAZUMA just going "STRIKE ME DOWN RAIDEN, YOU DONT THE BALLS--" just because they learned how to redirect lightning AHAHAHA

Cryo and Hydro would hangout a lot and like-- honestly, Cryo might hangout a lot with Geo as well considering how cryo is just Ice but Solid. Its kinda similar to bending earth in that way. I still do think that Cryo and Hydro users would learn a lot from each other but Hydro learns more from Cryo and Cryo learns more from Geo. In the bending sense at least. So i imagine that the closest Cryo can get to Hydro is turning the ice into snow or slush and the closest that Hydro can get to Cryo is slush as well but much MUCH more watery. Like a half melted Big Gulp from 7 11. Honestly, i can kind of see Eula using this as an opportunity to both better her reputation AND to better care for the knights under her since waterbenders are the healers of the bending world. So, i can see her visiting Barbara a lot and getting healing lessons from her or her like-- groveling at Dionas feet trying to learn how to heal her troops AHAHAHA

DUUUUUUUDE the Geo dudes are gonna have sO MUCH FUN SINCE LIKE-- even tho earth bending is SUUUUPER underrated, in the right hands its SO fucking op. I can already see Ningguang trying to master metal bending so she can literally just-- detect what metals are around her and the quality of them. Like "oh this ugly unrefined lump of metal is much MUCH more valuable than the necklace youre trying to sell me there. Tell me, youre not foolish enough to try and swindle the Tianyuan Qixing? Oh? How was I able to tell? With the knowledge and gifts brought by our Grace of course!" And Zhongli trying to master every aspect of earth bending, from seismic sense to metal bending to lava bending and so on, because even though he stepped down as Archon, he is STILL the Prime of the Adepti and Lord of Geo. And if this brings him a closer connection to the Overseer? Lol thats just an added benefit AHAHAHAH

The Dendro users thoooo, they would DEFFO take advantage of their inherent and direct connection to water to better connect with the plantlife around them. ACTUALLY i can see Collei kind of learning how to heal herself of Eleazar BECAUSE of her connection to Dendro and Dendro's connection to water-- the "healing" element. And i can also see Tighnari like-- using it as a different sort of "seismic sense" in a way. Thanks to the lessons learned from the Hydro users that can now fucking bend plants, he can turn that lesson-- the "finding the bendable parts amdist the unbendable parts" and turn it into his own! So he could, using his Dendro Vision, detect and identify any and all plantlife nearby by the way the Dendro element surrounds the Hydro element that flows within the plants themselves! If hes familiar enough with the plants, and honestly he probably is, he could determine its age, species, health, and any other aspects of it he'd want to learn

And ohhhhh my gOD-- dont even get me STARTED on them mixing in their own martial arts into their bending styles. Because like-- each bending style is based off and inspired tby many real life martial arts. Tai Chi for waterbending, Hung Gar for earth, Northern Shaolin for Fire, Ba Gua Zhang for air and so on. So, imagine them just mixing in the fighting styles of each nation or even their own personal fighting style into their bending style! So like-- i can see Thoma mixing into his Firebending some Inazuman Judo or Karate (both are Japanese martial arts and Inazuma is based off Japan) and some Mondstadtian Ringen (Mond is based off Germany and Ringen is German style martial arts/grappling) to really like-- personalize and make Firebending his very own. And, taking that further, even taking the lessons from the show-- the lesson that every element is connected and that you can learn from each and every element. You can actually see that in, as how ATLA goes on, you can see the Gaang and the other benders using bending moves from other elements-- not just Aang learning the other elements to become a Master Avatar but literally everyone-- Zuko using a move he learned from Iroh who learned from waterbenders, Katara using earthbending moves to bend ice, and so on. I could think of more but im currently sick off my ass and my brain is mush. So characters who already have a fluid connection with their Vision/Element or just have that fluidity thanks to their job or their natural personality, have a much more unique way of controlling the elements! The only ones i can think of rn is Yunjin and Childe-- Yunjin because of the slight and fluid movements she makes as an opera singer and actor, i mean-- have you even watched her attack animations? Theyre SOOOO smooth and pretty!! And Childe because of his Delusion, meaning hed already be trying to learn the other bending arts and, thanks to his fight brain, would definitely look for a way to incorporate each elements bending styles and moves into his own

FUUUUUCK dawg, i could go on and on and ON but im currently sick off my ass and i need the rest gjsjfnsjfi-- Feel free to yoink my idea and build off it!! Id love to see what yall think :))

[aeymii]

It was like a little bonding moment for Protag!Nagito. The survivors all had a big communal bath, split between boys and girls. And it just felt weirdly nice for him to be hanging out with Kaz and Gundham there, since it made him feel included.

Honestly I imagine lots of moments like that for their AU. Like I've got this one idea where they're actually not immediately saved by the Future Foundation after getting out of the school. And so they go on a little roadtrip with one of Hope's Peak's leftover vans (which they fit as many supplies in as they could). Deciding to stop off at Nagito's house first. Mainly to give him about a week or so to properly heal from the lost arm. But also because it occurs to him that in the post-Apocalypse, money probably isn't as useful for trade as items to barter. And assuming that his house hasn't been ransacked, there's still his dad's old wine cellar that they can use for currency. They think perhaps they might try to find some kind of boat after that, to head to Novoselic in Europe.

It's just like a really quiet "calm before the storm" period. Where they lay him down in his bedroom, while the girls share his parents' old room and the boys share the guestroom. And take turns keeping him company (with Mikan as his main nurse). Just lots of tender FTEs with his classmates, who slowly get a bit more of an idea of what his life was like when they look around his house. Like imagine Mahiru getting a bit of a shock when she sees a photo of a happy kid Nagito, and realizing he didn't always have white hair. He makes a special request that if he doesn't make it, that they please bury him in the spot out back right next to where his dog is buried. They assure him it won't come to that, but promise that they would if it did.

...Also on a less serious, and more morbidly hilarious note, I did have this one funny idea for how Junko potentially died in the AU. Nagito accidentally killed her in a scene reminiscent of Pulp Fiction's bit with Marvin. Carelessly waving around a handgun he believes is empty, with his finger on the trigger while the two get into a big finale debate. Only for the gun to go off and hit her directly in the head, bringing an anticlimactic end to things. Everyone panicking for a moment, Nagito most of all, with him being like "Oh shit, I thought it wasn't loaded!" This whole thing of course being televised.

Hrjsjaiaksnks bonding moment ehehhehehehe, the protage and the bonding<3 AHHH HE FELT INCULDED FOR ONCEE MY BOY!! 💖💖 give him love everyone!!!! Includeee himmmm

OH!! OMG OMG THIS SI AKAZINAG AGHH I LOVE SEEING MOMENTS IN THE APOCALYPSE, The red sky aesthetic and the wastelandd- Oooo an abandoned van!!!! My guy lost his arm yep let em heal, haha money ain't gonna work at the end of the world OHHHHH A TRIP TO NOVOSELIC AHHHH AGRESSIVELY EATS YOUR IDEAS LIKE A DOG WITH RABIES

TAKEN CARE OF BY MIKAN, HE'S IN HEAVEN MIKAN MY ANGEL I LOVE HER SO MUCH<33 ✨✨ And they start to understand him better lemme go sob in the corner this sheet giving me emotional damage- HAPPY NAGIBOY WAHHH THAT'S SO.. beside the dog.. WAHHH THAT'S SO SADDD NOT THE DOGGGG

AHAHAHAHAH HE WAVED AROUND HIS GUN AND WHISTLED UNTIL HE KILLED A RANDOM TEEN AND WENT :0 PFFT, and y'all panicking understandably, and the audience too lol, but bro saved the universe with that!! He did them more good than bad because it's "The Junko" bro deserves some medals and a crown or something ahahah this is so crazy I love every part of it

[stoppostingforeverandever]

Omfg, oh btw whery im loopey on another account incase u dint know, anyways. Let me just. Scream for a hot second. UWUWHAHAHGETYEUWHWHWUISISJJDHEUEUWUAHHAHAAAAA IOWOWOWKJSJSUSH OOHOLYLLYKYNSHHSJIIRKTJTKT MOHOMGMG.

I ADORE THIS. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO READ YOUR ANALYSIS TOO!!!! Ahhh I love how clever you are with design, it’s really so fun to read :] I feel like I see so many fanfiction where luffy ultimately keeps the hat afterwards, because they’re the strawhat pirates ofc! But,,, I genuinely dont remember if I’ve ever read anyone who actually talked about luffy PERMANENTLY giving the hat back to shanks, and omg thanku sm for reintroducing that idea into my brain. I love your idea of both of them forgoing their hats!!! Sabo looks really adventurous with just those goggles on his head too :D

Ahaha there’s this cover spread which I consider what the post-canon of OP to be

Like, the whole gang is around the table, and the tagline is looking for new adventures! The globe robin is pointing to is outside the grandline and everything, ahahah and usopp has clearly had his fun trip to elbaf :] ANYWAYS, i went back to take a look at this,, and lo and behold! Luffys strawhat is no where in sight! Haha he does have a silly pirate captain get up though :D and his jolly roger is still on his hat!! I imagine he’s playing dressup rather than keeping this as a permenant outfit, and it doesnt confirm if the strawhat is gone or anything, but i thought it was interesting to note.

Anyways. No joke. This made me so choked up man… u keep doin this to me…. It always struck me that sabo’s dream as a child was to write an amazing book and travel the world- not anything like bringing freedom to the oppressed. Luffy and Ace went down direct paths to fulfill their respective dreams, but Sabos having more of an indirect approach to it, and even then, he has so many duties as chief that he probably doesnt have any time to write!

I don’t think I’ve seen him look so free before. He’s dedicated his life to bringing freedom to others, and now he’s free to pursue his own childhood dreams to the fullest. KILL ME 💥💥💥💥💥💥

I found your analysis of his childhood verse adult outfits REALLY interesting, and it fits soooo well. I love the lighter, calm colours that you ultimately went with. Whahaha i love his snacky pockets too, big fan of many pockets in designs, esp when they have great uses! He looks so cute and I think you were completely right about the cravat thing, cause he has such an aura of FREEDOMMM and exploration and i think his cravat wouldve definitely restricted his style LOL. IM BEING SO TRUE RN WHEN I SAY THAT HE LOOKS SO BONEDEEP HAPPY NOW, HES SO FREE NOW, WHERY THIS IS MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL. KILL ME 💥 💥💥💥💥

Ahhhh i love sabo laying down and listening to luffy chat about whatever, i wonder if hes telling a story about his adventures? Maybe hes talking anout something really stupid actually, maybe both! The aura around them is so serene though, I feel AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD!1!1!1! Wahah I love sabo’s lil doodles in his book! He loves drawing his lil brother °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° and thats a great rendition of a bird sabo!!! JESUS CHRIST THATS A GIGANTIC HERCULES BEETLE OMFG LUFFY STAY STILL LET ME DRAW THAT. (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ YIPPPEEEEEEEE luffy looks so happy XD hahaha did he draw that derpy ass sabo in there? His artskills have improved since we last saw him ahahah!!!

I ADORE THE DESIGN FOR THE SABO BOAT!!! YESS!!! YESS HE COMISSIONED FRANKY YESS!!! Its a lot more practical than the striker for travelling for sure! And i lvoe that he can really comfortabley sit down and propel the boat too :] the dragon figurehead is a brillaint touch, aahahah and it seems to be having fun on their travels too! The S (crossed out) pirates are back in business :) he finally gets to properly set out on his pirating adventures…. thank you whery. this healed me… thank you….

Is it so hard to ask that sabo follow his dream he had when he was a kid? IS IT??????

Also, his boat was commissioned from Franky! And he did a great job :)

Design talk:

Im gonna start with just sharing his canon designs

Colors:

Something i want to call attention to is the blue and black in his design.

When he was young, Sabo wore his heart on his sleeve. He had a dream for himself and was taking steps to complete it. Likewise, that blue on his coat is on full display its bright and vibrant and saturated. But also theres that dark blue, almost black, thats underneath it thats being hidden by that coat, the pants, and his tattered cravat. Likewise again, Sabo is hiding his darker side. He has secrets he doesn’t want his brothers to know of and he lets his aspirations and relationships he has with them outshine his past.

In his present design, that blue that was representative of his dreams, is now the one being hidden. Its covered by a complete black coat, a representative of the darkness in his life that now is drives him. This color switch up is symbolic for how he’s put off his dreams and kept it locked up (belt), while choosing instead to pursue a life of darkness for the greater good.

Also, these pictures of young sabo and young adult sabo, you can visually see how less saturated it is. The blue is duller of the coat/undershirt and even more-so with the pants. You can see how he’s much less vibrant than how he was.

In my Post-Story idea, what happens leading up to it is that Sabo succeeds in taking down the world government and after he’s sure the world can move on without him, he goes sailing alone as a pirate to write a book about the world, like he’s always wanted to do. Also, Luffy returns his straw hat to shanks.

So in my design, sabo wears a vibrant blue coat again. He’s living his dream and has nothing holding him back from doing it. The black is still used, and its not being covered, but its on his pants and his gloves. He still has that darkness, but he doesn’t use it as protection or as something to hide, rather as something he moves forwards and progresses with. He will never forget what pain and hardship he went through and he’s not trying to. However, whats underneath all the layers is not darkness or dreams, and its not necessarily being hidden either, its light. Not BRIGHT, but light. Mellow and calm. The settled true nature of a healed man.

I took more colors from his child design than i did with his young adult (YA) one, too. I wanted to show how he’s reconnecting with his younger self by bringing them through to his Post-Story look!

Also, since his journal is his dream, it is blue, as well.

———

Items of Clothing:

In both of his canon designs, there is a sense of properness. A top hat, cravat, tailcoat, etc etc.. Its all properness. But more than that, its the idea of responsibility.

Whether he acts responsible or not isn’t what matters in his case, instead its that he wants to look responsible. He wants this because a) he was a little kid who wanted to grow up too fast and be taken seriously, and b) because he has an incredible amount of responsibility being the second in command of the revolutionary army.

To further prove that, I would like to point out his silly little cravat. I love his cravat. But how the hell is that practical for his line of work? Sabo is concerned with being practical, hence his baggy/movable pants and leather gloves. Additionally, just the waist/trench coat, belt, top hat combo would suffice for a proper looking person, but it’s taken excessively with the cravat. The cravat is purely for appearances.

Further symbolism with his cravat, i think, is that this appearance is visually choking him. Its wrapped tightly around his neck when he was a child and when he was most under control of a much higher power. However, when he’s a YA, it’s a lot looser. He’s got some agency, but he’s still being suffocated by responsibilities.

On with my design.

I took away his cravat. Im sorry but it is SYMBOLIC!!!!!!! He is not worried anymore with appearances, he is Free.

I took away his top hat but not his goggles, too. I think that after Luffy gives back the straw hat, Sabo forgoes his hat as well. In solidarity, maybe. If you think about it, the top hat isnt what makes his hat so special, its the goggles. So i got rid of the hat and kept The Goggs. Although it is sad that they are no longer Hatted, as that is one of the beautiful appeals of ASL, they are no longer ASL.

I wanted to keep aspects of his YA design, since even though it is very perforative, its still a style that he’s stuck with since childhood, so he’s gotta like it in some capacity. I just tried to make everything look a lot looser/open on him.

Lastly, i gave him a bit of a beard cuz i think he deserves it.

———

Alright! If you got this far, thanks so much for reading my insane ramblings!!!! I fr feel like this rn 👇

Visually, sabo’s design is not too complex, at least not when you look at him next to Ace, but theres a lot of depth to it. I didnt even think of half of these notes before i started typing this up, its just the more time i look at it, the more i noticed!

[seeraplimau]

Battle of the Mall(?)

There was a debate on the social regarding what is the best mall, which is very Klang Valley centric, because you know, we have so many malls. Me on the other hand, I dont really have a strong feeling towards mall haha. I guess probably because I dont do window shopping as much. Most of my stuff and outfit before was bought at Jusco or Giant. And that is not really a mall. Haha but foreal even buku kertas lukisan I bought at Giant. So to me, a mall is just huh, a mall. But of course lah there's a preferability so here my not so rate on it.

Wangsa Walk LOL new KL people will say mende wangsa walk, what got but haha it was a pretty famous hangout place back when I was in high school. It got wayang, arcade, takoyaki, rotiboy, boiling. And it a pretty smol mall too, so no need that many of walking. Haha sure takde hnm but kamon, your taste is HnM?!

Mid Valley Honestly, this is like an upper mall to me. Because it kinda big and have so many shops even one I rarely see. As a kid, me veryyy jarang go here. But during my study, hmmm wait even then I only go if nak tengok wayang je. And it accessible by KTM, so yeah thats that.

IOI Putrajaya Honestly....haha I dont like this mall. It so cracy big kinda make me headache if I need to go here everyday. Even go there every month pun, I feel overwhelmed. But I do have some fun memories lah. Though,,,yeah so big. Got LUSH, tapi gue takde duit tak beli lebih2 huhuhuhuhuhu. OHH one more reason tak suka isparking mahal!! sekali masuk RM2 on weekdays, weekends is RM4! crazy. Tengok wayang je will cost you RM8 on parking alone!!! ughhhh

Alamanda I like Alamanda. If I could, Alamanda >>>IOI.

Setapak Sentral Known as KL Festival before. It's....okay. If I live nearby, maybe would go there more. Jalan in Setapak is not very fun to drive though.

OneUtama I am not....OG or TTDI enough to comment. It's a vverryyy rare place I go. Like VERYY. I have no reason to go there and yeah, nothing. If want to talk about layout, yeah it's big, but I was not there enough to familiar with the place. So cam.....okay. Oh one point is, probably tiket parking murah. haha I went tengok wayang on sunday, only paid RM2! so cam eh cun giler

Sunway Pyramid A...fancy mall to me. Haha maybe because the pyramid so gahh one. And the interior also fancy, wow extra. But not a every day/month/year mall to me. No comment

Publika I...honestly like Publika. Hahahha maybe because not me who drive here. yeah, the level thing is confusing, but only if you take lift. If escalator, cam okay kot. It's a fancy place, like very jarang to see if crowd CROWD. So not very overwhelmed. The architecture and surrounding are nice too, to walk around. It probably the nearest fancy mall I go compared to OU or sunway

Sunway Putra Only go if I want to stop for a bit by LRT and omw to home. Yes escalator layout is stupid. It's actually the most basic and boring mall.... like all mall is boring, but this is the OG template.

SOGO Such an OG shopping only mall. Probably most visited mall by me.

Melawati Mall So annoyingly big and huge looking. (yes grammarly this is a wrong sentence but you get my point aite)

Kip Mall, Bangi Good sebab no need bayar parking. My go to alone 'healing' place (LMAOO Pleasee I hate this word ahahah I only say it ironically). Actually, sebab ada Jalan Jalan Japan je.... The Mr DIY outlet here no likey. The layout is memanjang, so need to jalan sampaiii ke hujung penjuru to buy stuff usually. Got KFC, Watsons, Guardian, Supermarket, kedai jam and tailor. Something for everyone lah I would say.

Evo Mall, Bangi No likey tapi got Sushi King, Aeon, Gigi Coffee and AnW. Besar, tapi dalam kosong. seDIHH. Parking rate is weird.

KLCC Good hangout place. Always, crowded lol.

Subang Parade No idea. My friend like it though.

[pollyna]

All of these prompts sound fascinating! Being super into Ice, I'd be really interested in 4, 15, 22 and 31, but any writing of yours is a gift.

It wans't in any of my plans to actually write on of that prompts AHAHAH but anyway i can't say no, but it's gonna be an extension of the prompt more than a ff? I'm probably going to go back on them at some point when the fucking inventary will stop killing me. So thank you so much for your kind words and i'm really sorry if it's not what you were expecting.

-#04: Can't pass out

"We had a pact, Admiral" a voice says, from the door.

"No. You, my husband, and my kid decided on something. I, for my part, didn't agree with anything. So no, no pact of any kind, Admiral Kerner."

"Thomas." 

"Ronald, what can I do for you today?"

"Cancer won't win because work will kill you first."

"I'm going to die anyway. At least you should let me choose how, what do you think?"

Ron knows that snapping back won't help, that Tom is just as concerned and scared as they all are. And he's tired. He was more tired than he let people see, but Ron had been around since Tom was nineteen, and he saw it all, so he knew.

"Come on, old man, let me take you home; we can eat takeout and watch stupid soap operas, and I won't tell anybody you fell asleep ten minutes into the night's most interesting movie," Ron says, and he knows he's won when Tom snorts back at him.

"Okay, okay. But only if you can get the chicken from that southern place on the Sixth." 

Ron doesn't say it but he would go to Georgia to take a single piece of chicken tender if that would help in taking Ice home.

Tom goes from standing up to almost face down on the maquette in half a second, the time Ron has to imagine himself flying to Georgia and back in time for dinner and thinking about how many laws he could break or not. Tom's body hits the ground but not with his face because Ron still has some reflex and grabs him before the worst can happen.

"I'm too young for this shit, Ronnie" Tom whispers, against his chest, a lifetime of silence after.

"I know Tommy, I know. But you have to stay awake and not pass out. Then we will go home and eat all the fried chicken you want" he answers, whispering too because he's sure that if he tries to talk out loud he will start crying and he can't, not right now.

-#15: New scars. This one it's gonna be a little more consistent but that's bc it's a fic I'm trying to write since forver and i'm constantly changing parameters on what i should or shouldn't do. But it's not the interesting part of it, sorry lol.

"I can try to do that." Tom nods as if he's trying to convince himself, and Ron has to count from five to zero before moving a single muscle.

5 old scars someone put on his body and he tells the story to Maverick + the 5 Maverick was around to see heal.

I.

He got the first one when he's five and running around with a plastic plane his dad took home after his n. mission he can't talk about but makes him angry and snappy with his mom but soft with his son, expecially when he passes his big, big, hands in his hair. He's running around the garden and then he's falling on his little plane, his mom is running towards him, his dad is screaming he's an idiot and toy is broke in two pieces and Tom doesn't know what he makes him cry the most: the blood he's loosing from his knee or he precious new toy that now lies between the grass without a wing.

His dad put the plane in the bin and doesn't listen reason when his mom tries to tell him that it can be easily fix and Tom gets a scar, a small and insignificant one that he will soon forget.

(Mav kisses it, during one of nights they have free and have no hurry be anywhere if not in bed. He makes funny faces evertime Tom tells the story on how he got it and Iceman laugh along because you're cute when you make that face Pete.)

II.

The second one Pete notices, this time they're making out on 'Wood terrible couch because everybody else is outside for a barbecue and it's too hot to stay inside but kissing Pete is worth even that, is just a little as the first one, mostly covered by his hairs and when Pete's finger trace it he almost jump because he forgot he was there and it still so sensitive. Pete notices but doesn't have the time to say anything because Tom is kissing him again and Ron is calling because dinner is read and if they don't move their going to have to eat grass!

(He tells Pete, a couple of hours and beers later, that high school hasn't been as kind as he likes to remember. And he talked too many, two, languages people didn't understand and Easter Europe heritage made him a commie every day of the week. He got in a fight more against a desk than the boy but they both got suspended but nobody ever tried to mess with him, after that day.)

III.

-#22: Caughing out blood.

The next one has a funny story that makes Slider a little wild when he gets around talking about it because he has the same one in the same place! Young, dumb and a day away from deployment they drunk too much shitty alcohol they find in the mess kitchen and tried to jump over the wall on the Academy. They both failed so bad they end up with both of their forearms bleeding a little and the instructor was soooo pissed, do you remember Tommy? He talked for hours and we had the mother of all headaches but Ice cold no mistake found the way out of that situation just looking at the guy. I could have kissed you right there for that.

He washed it three times, and there's still blood on it. The blood is on his shirt, on his hands, on his skin, and uncl-his dad is lying on a hospital bed, with too many machines connected to his body and an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth. Deployment sucked this time around; the squadron was full of navy brats who wanted to know more about everybody. At least Phoenix was there.

They were eating outside, at some place on the ocean Mav found while riding his bike at three in the morning when Ice wasn't there, and that he promised made the best risotto seafood he ever tasted. They were laughing, drinking white wine, and his arm was around Ice's shoulders in support of Mav's last disaster when the older man started to cough. Once, twice, and then a third time, until Bradley felt his own blood running cold because there was blood. Blood on the tissue and then on his shirt because Ice wasn't fast enough to cover his mouth again.

And then Mav's hands were touching Ice and looking at him like he was trying to find an answer to a question Bradley didn't even know existed.

"Breath love breath. Bradley is going to drive us to the hospital, but I need you to continue to breath like the doctor showed you." He said, "Yeah, yeah, like that. C'mon Ice, I know you can do it." 

"Baby Goose, eyes here. I need you to start the car. We will be right behind you. Then you will drive to the hospital, and I'm going to explain everything, but I need to make sure Ice is okay before that. Do you understand Brad?"

"Ye-yes, pops. Car, hospital, and then you're going to explain it to me. Okay. "

Ice's eyes were glossy and concentrated on Maverick and Maverick alone.

"It's going to be okay, Baby Goose." Ice murmured, his voice low and cracked. 

-#31: You can rest now.

The idea comes to Rooster while on a little too much of a drug after they had to set his shoulder twice because the first time it didn't set right.

Once I'm out of here, we should all go and spend the night in the den. Nothing is as warm and comfy as the den. I miss the den. Can we go to the den, pops?" he asked, almost on the point of tears.

"Yeah, Baby Goose, we can go to the den." He answers, laughing a little.

"Okay pops, thank you" he answers before snuggling a little more into his pillow, with Natasha and Jake's fingers patting his hair.

-

The den is warm and, oh, how Bradley missed this place.

"So this is the den?" a voice behind him asks, and someone whistles.

"Yeah, yeah this is the den." Bradley answers before slumping in his favourite spot, the cat already stretching her belly to let him pat her.

"It's nice." Jake says, sitting beside him.

"Yeah, every house should have one!" Fritz adds "and a cat! Who's this beautiful creature? Bradley, why are you trying to hide all the beautiful people in your life from me?"

Everybody's laughing and it's like Bradley's eight again when Carole used the den to organise him birthday parties he wasn't supposed to know anything about.

But now he's thirty-eight and his mom is dead more years than she was alive and the people around him are his family in the way his uncles are and-and Bradley wants to lie in the sun and let himself feel something that's not anger for once.

And apparently everybody has the same idea because he can finish the thought that eleven other bodies cuddle around him and he loses the count of hands that are touching, patting, and massaging him, but it feels so good that he doesn't want to be anywhere else. Lady Carole curls on his stomach, the door opens, and soft steps are followed by the smell of warm cider and biscuits. Before falling asleep, he hears Mav and Ice on the sofa, softly conversing with Halo.

Hey Vi! 🤍

I think I have an idea of who they are, but my ask is how do you relate with your favorite character.

If you guessed Kate, Anthony, Francesca, John and Michael then you're right!! Okay so this can become a whole essay and I actually wrote one for Kathony somewhere I can post it another time, so Imma just do TLDR versions!

Kate & Anthony - Eldest Sibling Complex with complicated familial relationships and the pressures, stress and burn out that come with that.

Kate - Her book insecurities and then her relationship with her show version of her family which was very hurtful to watch since my family treats me the same way and the Book!Sharmas were like a healing balm and show just ripped that from me. Anthony - His relationship with death and making peace with dying young. In the show we're basically the same except I would have proposed to Kate only but in the vein of running from our problems and then that fucking up things so much more for us? HARD relate but it is something I am working on!

Francesca, John & Michael - For me these three are more aspirational and I want to be more like Frannie - at least terms of her quiet humour and confidence. That being said their wit and their dynamic is very relatable to me I like to think I have their sense of humor especially Michael's from what we've seen. All my friend groups are close like their and have similar love shared between us (not romantically lol but like the affections there)

Francesca - I relate to how lonely and isolated she feels from her family at times and I too might just elope and show up at my family house someday lmao. I do love the support system she has with John and Michael and I'm the same. I created my own family. John - We never really got to know him but he's just so lovely and kind and I hope I'm the same so I related to how lovely he is with his loved ones and I pride myself on being a good friend and always being there for people I care abt and vice versa. Michael - We're both little shits and while I'm not Michael HOT, I like to think I'm attractive-ish shkjdkj is that too over-confident sounding?? Eh after years of being insecure over my looks, I own it now just like Mikey does. We also have very similar sense of humour and also of course he loved running away as do I oop. Also if I wasn't demisexual, I'd prolly be a Merry Rake too ahahah kidding, or am I?? I dunno the pandemic ruined it for me

[omniscientreaderr]

hi! need input lol i found out about the villain wrangler au and got so inspired :) haven't actually written in a hot 5 years but apparently i can bang out 1.1k words for a story but not my homework :" i actually wanted to write more but didn't know if it be offensive in any way. so yes input thank you - be kind djfkdkke I'm scared but I'm really open to feedback :)) ok dankes to whoever actually sees this! have a great day

- (this is after the VW gets saved, and the one that saved him is meeting to give the girl a pep talk) -

The villain shuffles into the hospital, meeting with the eyes of the VW as he glances up from his clipboard.

VW: “hey! Thanks for saving me the other day :) appreciate it! You ready to meet the girl?”

B: “yeah…as ready as I’ll ever be, I guess? What am i suppose to say? I don’t do fancy motivational speeches like that captain, I don’t know how i’m supposed to encourage and help her…she’s going to be insecure, she’s going to be wallowing in a pit of uncertainty over whether she’s ever going to be…accepted. How am i supposed to help a girl with that?!”

The VW looks over at him with a gentle smile, steering B into a nearby seat, setting his clipboard on the nurse’s tray next to them.

“Hey. Hey. The fact that you know how she will feel, the fact that you worry about whether you can help her, is all that matters. You don’t need fancy words designed to psychologically rouse the masses - i personally have always found them pretentious - you just need to tell her what you’ve always wished to hear. Speak from the heart. Words really don’t come easy, but the rawest, most truthful and touching ones are those that come from the place of absolute vulnerability. Words from the mind, touch the mind. But words from your heart? They touch the heart.” He laughs, taking a pause. “Honestly, I could go on a whole spiel about why is it the speeches of villain appeal to the masses, and how they always gain so much support. You’ve got this.”

B simply nods, giving the VW a small smile, before resuming chewing on his bottom lip. Standing outside the girl’s door, he lifts his hand to knock on the door, before dropping it again. He pauses, leaning backwards against the adjacent wall. “What am I doing? Me? A fuckin pyromaniac helping a little girl? Heck, I can do fighting that obnoxious righteous moral spewing jackass in tightey-whiteys. I can do getting dropped from 10 stories. I could even do pickin up ladies with just my words. But this? No. No way in hell am i walking in there, just to disappoint that kid.”

He walks away, ready to tell the VW that sorry to disappoint, but he couldn’t do this.

The door to the room swings open, a nurse bustling out with her cart. He presses himself against the corner, hiding from the view of the nurse. He glances over, catching sight of a tiny, fragile girl in that all-too-big white sterile room, sitting up on her bed with a sad smile on her face. The door closes all too soon, but that sparks something inside him. He walks towards her door and knocks, as if guided by some impulse, a duty towards this little child.

“Come in! Did you forget something, R? I promise you that if it’s your stethoscope it’s gone!”

He takes a step in, still shrouded in the darkness that the entryway is covered in.

“OH! Hello! Are you lost? Do you need help getting somewhere?”

She beams at him, turning her body slightly to see him, and he sees it. He’s struck by the image of a child scarred across half her body, snaking past her uncovered arms and legs…and across her face, where a pure, warm and joyful smile sits.

He brushes his long fringe back and finds himself rolling up his long sleeves, almost unconsciously. For the first time, in possibly his whole life, he was willing to let someone see him. See him, with his scars on display, not hidden behind a mask, or his hair, or the long sleeves he always wore. He wanted someone to see him. He…wanted to let this girl know she was not alone, that she was not broken.

He stepped forward into the light, quirking his lips into an awkward, unsure smile.

“Hi, Emilia, I’m B, and a little birdie told me you wanted to meet me, so here I am.”

The child shoots upright, nearly clambering out of bed to rush to him.

(Ok she becomes quieter because the dialogue is meant to be poignant. The atmosphere is quiet. It’s two people reflecting, basking in the presence of the only person who understands their pain. There’s no need for pretences, to push the traits that make you likeable.)

Alarmed, he takes large strides to her bedside, catching her before she topples over, having gotten tangled in her blankets. He lifts her back up, before scratching his head, taking a seat next to her bed.

“Sorry. Didn’t mean to touch you without your permission.”

The child says nothing, simply nodding her head excitedly, grinning at him. She reaches for his arm, and he places it in her open hand. It’s so tiny. She’s so small. She’s adorable.

She traces his scars, and he waits for the wave of insecurity to hit him. For the voice that urges him to pull back his sleeve and not let anyone see his wounds. But today, it stays quiet. She points to her own healing wounds from the grafting surgery, saying, “Same.”

Now that he’s near her, he’s hit by the full brightness of her smile, the enthusiasm at seeing him, the anticipation of what he would do or say, and something pulls at his heartstrings, and loosens the string of tension and worry that has been restricting his tongue.

“Sorry. I’m not very good at this, haha.”

He pauses. The child offers another encouraging smile, holding his calloused hands with both of her hands.

“I guess…I wanted to let you know that these scars don’t matter. They don’t. They don’t take away the warmth of your smile, the fact that you brighten up the day of everyone around you. They don’t…they don’t…take away your worth. Or any of your beauty. Fu- AHahah don’t listen to anyone who tells you this. It’s a long road, but you’re not alone.”

“Not alone”, the kid repeats. “Not alone”. He notices tears in her eyes, tears that he doesn’t realise are reflected in his own eyes, and he is struck by the comfort that he finds in them. He isn’t alone.

He wills his tears back, giving her a brighter grin. “Did you know that in some cultures, scars are actually seen as signs of bravery? The more you had, the more brave you were among the tribes. They were warriors, feared, esteemed, respected for their wounds. You must be a mighty fine warrior. I bow in your presence, my lady.”

Their peals of laughter reverberates through the ward, ringing in the ears of concerned nurses, hiding watery smiles, in the ears of the kid’s anxious parents, sobbing into each other. She’s laughing. She’s happy. Not those calculated smiles and calculated giggles that hide a lot of pain and insecurity, full of the desire to be…desirable, but one of pure joy. One, of a child rediscovering their youth.

(Unfin.)

hi hanna, I'm finally stepping in the cafe after days of window shopping. sadly, I can't stay long so I would like to grab an order to-go for two 🥠s: distant past - everything everything and fresh laundry - allie X with an order of 🍵 for either the weeknd or bmth (both whom I have some albums I really like and don't lol)

hi jules! :) not sure if you still remember this because it’s been so long… i just found this in my in box again and thought better late than never 😬

your 🥠s:

i am actually so upset i’m only listening to these songs now because wow! they are so good. at first i thought “distant past” would be a nice chill song and then suddenly the rap part came hahaha. and damn, he was spitting those lines, what a nice rhythm! also the pre-chorus? the way the baby can you leave it in the and the girl i’m from the very very were just distant in the background and then the distant past more audible- i see what they did there hehe. overall the song was very disco elysium of them lol.

i have to say that “fresh laundry” is a very valid topic to make a song about, there is nothing better. but also this song was so hauntingly beautiful and i could identify with the lyrics very much. didn’t know loneliness can sound so good. also the way she belts the no??? chills man. you said you were always on my side, but what if my side has changed too much? yes. genius. thanks for showing me this! <3 (i only knew her from “susie save your love” with mitski til now)

your 🍵:

so happy you’re asking about bring me the horizon, because they are actually one of my favorite (i’d even say currently favorite) bands! it’s truly amazing how they changed their sound so much in the course of every album. i can see why not everyone likes every single one, but from what i saw and heard most of their fans are interested to see what they did when they release something new, because it’s always original and fresh, even when they end up not liking it. i’d be interested to hear which ones you don’t like! i have to admit i never listened to the first two, but maybe one day i will. not really sure where i’m going with this and if i start gushing over every detail i like now then i’ll likely never stop. so here’s a more general evaluation: sempiternal, that’s the spirit and post human are albums with no-skip songs for me! (and the doesn’t happen too often) only reason i do sometimes skip one is because some are so embedded in my memory that i get annoyed by myself with the amount of times i listened to them ahahah. i do think some are also a bit repetitive, but the choruses are mostly so nice that i don’t mind that. i’d say amo is overall their weakest lyric-wise, because there are some lines where i cringed a bit, but it still has some absolute bangers. for the follow up music to listen to… etc etc i have to be in the mood to enjoy it. but once i start it, i’m not getting out before i listened to the last song. also can we please appreciate their videos for a second? they are always so creative and dark. even from the lyric videos i can’t tear my eyes away. and i just wanted to mention that the reason they are my current favorite band is that they perfectly encapsulate the feeling of living in this crazy world in this crazy time. they are having an existential crisis in almost every song and i. love. to. see. it.

current favorites:

& everything from post human: survival horror. (also currently chilling in the merch hoodie lmao)

thank you for your order and i hope you enjoyed my ramblings! :)

[emsvegetables]

“HELLO I LOVE HOGWARTS AUS SO MUCH TOO 😩😩😩😩 you have such great taste LOL could I maybe request hcs of Kuroo, Iwaizumi, and Matsukawa with a s/o that got hit by a bludger or fall off their broom? Thank you sm!!!!!!!!”

anon whoever you are, i LOVE U. this shit got my heart going WOOSH. and also, you didn’t specify what you wanted so i’ll just write the reader as a gryffindor if you don’t mind!!!

Kuroo:

* okay, this man is OBVIOUSLY ON THE SLYTHERIN TEAM.

* he’s the captain...and he’s also the chaser!!!!!!!

* so anyways

* you’re dating him, right????

* so he’s ALWAYS smirking at you when you’re sitting up in the stands during his practices doing homework.

* after practice ends, he makes sure to fly up to you and plop down beside you, and help you with anything that you don’t understand!!!!

* he’s a WHIZ at potions, so he’ll always help you with your essays.

* and if you guys have time??? he’s taking you on a little ride on his broom!

* OH MY GOD THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE DIRTY BUT IGNORE ME

* AHHH but he likes it when he suddenly jerks the broom down and you wrap your arms tighter around his waist.

* he’s a sly mf who does that on purpose ):(

* so one day slytherin’s having a practice match with gryffindor, thanks to Bokuto and Kuroo’s bromance!!!!

* and you’re sitting up in the stands not knowing who to cheer for LMAOOOO, your house or your boyfriend????

* you’re just minding your own DAMN business, cheering for both teams whenever one of them scores a point when one of the beaters accidentally hits a bludger straight at you.

* and you’re looking at how good Kuroo looks in his uniform when you hear someone shout at you.

* “DUCK!”

* “where?” you say, because you’re still staring at your man, AND BOOM IT COLLIDES WITH YOUR FACE FIFKFJFKF

* oh my god Kuroo instantly stops the game and flies to you immediately, and he’s looking at your bleeding nose.

* oh no Kuroo’s angry ):(.

* he stops your bleeding nose with a healing spell, and he carries you up on his arms to bring you to the madam Pomfrey, but not before telling the beater (who’s in his team AHAHAH POOR THING) to run 30 rounds around the field, and he’d better be done when Kuroo gets back.

* HES SO WORRIED and he won’t leave you even when madam Pomfrey insists he does, and only when she threatens to kick him out of the hospital wing does he step away from you to let madam Pomfrey examine him.

* madam Pomfrey secretly whispers to you that your boyfriend is really sweet, and you smile back at her with dried blood on your face and say you agree.

Iwaizumi:

* aw this man’s a gryffindor!!!!!!

* he’s obviously on the team and he’s a chaser!!!

* and you’re on the gryffindor team as nwell!!!!

* let’s just say you’re a seeker, k!!!!

* n e way you’re the power couple of the gryffindor team!!!!

* Bokuto always says that Iwaizumi is so soft for you, and Iwaizumi constantly tells him to keep quiet or he’ll hit him with a quaffle AHAHA

* y’all occasionally fly around after practice, talking and chatting about the weeks events.

* he’s always genuinely interested in what you do, and he looks at you like you’re the world, and you look at him like he’s yours too 🥺🥺

* he’s AMAZING at charms for some strange reason, and he’ll always cast little spells that’ll cause warmth to envelop you everytime the night gets a little cold!!!!

* moving on!

* okay the incident probably happens because of some stupid ass slytherins.

* you’re a muggle-born, and they look down on you for that, even though Iwaizumi literally doesn’t know why, bc you’re still amazing and no different from him?

* you’re probably flying with him and suddenly a spell hits your broom and you fly off it.

* Iwaizumi’s RUSHING after you and trying to reach you, and he catches you before you hit the ground.

* and let me tell you, he’s fucking PISSED.

* he’s hexing those idiots, and when the hex wears off, he’s punching them in their faces.

* eventually professor Mcgonagall is called, but he refuses to apologise when the professor asks him to do it.

* “why should i especially when i didn’t do anything wrong and when they’re bloody arses that think their blood is superior?”

* okay Mcgonagall is so proud of him that she lets him off without detention!!!!!!!!! eidififidiekeke

* he makes sure you’re okay after the professor sends the slytherins away, and he presses a kiss on your lips when you say you’re fine.

* :”(

* he finds a charm that’ll make your broom unhexable with the help of Akaashi, and he casts it on your broom every single time before you ride it, bc he needs to make sure something like that doesn’t happen again!!!!!!!

Matsukawa:

* HES A SLYTHERIN HAVE U SEEN HIM

* okay N E WAYSSSS

* Kuroo always says that you and Matsukawa are the most rainbow-vomiting couple everytime he sees you come up to Mattsun at the slytherin table and press a kiss to his cheek.

* Mattsun tells him to shut up, and he’ll occasionally hex Kuroo to have his tongue-binded, which Kuroo always removes easily bc he’s a whiz at non-verbal spells ):(

* but he loves it when you come to cheer him on during his practices/games!!!!!

* he finds you so cute and he occasionally gives you his robes to wear before practice in case it gets too chilly.

* WIEJFKFKIFKF

* and btw you suck at flying, so you’re not on any team.

* one day Mattsun’s smiling at you and you’re smiling at him during practice, and all of a sudden you hear Kuroo go,” (Y/N)! WATCH OUT!”

* you’re like?????

* and a bludger whacks you straight on your head and you fall backwards.

* oh shit.

* yo Mattsun is SPEEDING to you, practice be damned, and he’s making sure you’re okay.

* but you got a bruise forming on your forehead, so DAS NOT GOOD.

* oh man the second-year beater who’s just joined the team looks so nervous as Mattsun turns back to shoot a glare at him, and Mattsun tells him that if he wants to actually play in the team, he has to ACTUALLY be able to play.

* at this point you stop rubbing your head and scold Mattsun for his harsh words!!!!

* “Matsukawa. apologise,” you say, with that tone of yours and he sighs and says sorry to that second-year.

* but he rushes you to the library and insists that madam Pomfrey checks you for brain damage!!!!!!!!

* madam Pomfrey is so done with him and she tells him to shut his mouth before she performs the necessary spells on you.

* the next day the second-year comes up to apologise to you and you smile at him and says it’s fine!!!!

* Matsukawa is watching the entire exchange and his eyes are glaring at that second-year LMAOOOOOO

* “hey, glare any more and you might kill him,” Kuroo teases while drinking orange juice.

* “good, i want that to happen.”

* WORKFIFICICKFJEKWKW

HI ANON!!! I LOVE U!!! hope you liked this <3 ahhh i accidentally deleted this i’m sorry!!!!!

[riskeith]

omg hi. sorry i disappeared for a few days, been super busy with school. i missed you a lot. how have you been?

i haven’t had the need to eat any food since i got barbara and noelle on my team. if one of them can’t shield, the other comes in a clutch haha. *bows* thank you ladies for your service.

i’d pay hard earned money to see fanart with the boy scouts playing with guoba.. :( and YEAH. that would be so fitting? + it’s gonna be liyue themed which is super nice. do you know any predictions over which four stars will be in xiao’s banner? and who do /you/hope will be there?

last time i played three days ago unlocked dragonspine.. i even did albedo’s quest i can’t believe i defeat that evil place sjshdksk. meaning i got so some primogems and some intertwined fate. i’ve been itching to use some of the intertwined fates to get xiangling c rate up... should i?

october 20 is such a cute bday. you know how some dates just look nice? that’s one of them shskdhs. i want to say my birthday too but i feel like if anyone reads our messages they’ll know who i am... sorry. you’ll have to wait for that information until we privately talk some day. big promise. 🤍

ooh. you kind of wing it too, then! in some ways. if you’re not feeling it do you leave the fic for the day after or give up on it for a while? (so many question... shut up @ me) i’m the same as you! but i also write sometimes in the day time and i feel like that’s when i produce my best work. yesterday i was at a cafe studying and during a break i just started writing a fic and for some reason it just flowed so nicely? so yeah idk skdjdhsk. whenever it strikes i suppose.

i do borrow my books sadly. i kind of have to because i don’t have anymore place to put my books (we live in a small apartment) and books are kind of expensive :( i don’t mind borrowing though because i don’t really reread books unless they’re super special so it’s fine. do you buy yours? I HAVE READ LEGEND. i read it waaaay back in grade school haha, it’s been ages ago. i’ve never seen anyone say it’s their favorite but i can see why you feel that way. it’s kind of underrated in the community for sure.

dude fuck... chongyun and xingqiu live in my mind rent free. i kid you not i just can’t stop thinking about those boys... please send me all the fanart you find i’ll literally give you my life for that <3

i just listened to the g-idle song and AAA? wtf? i used to really like them while i was into kpop and this is so nostalgic to me. i haven’t listened to kpop in literally years shdkdhdk. this song is great thank you for sending it, do you like g-idle? <3

WAIT ARE YOU MAKING A SECOND ACC? I WAS LITERALLY CONSIDERING DOING ONE IN ASIA FOR YOU... shdjdhdjshsjsj our minds. and yes i’m in american server... oh god. our co-op date can happen? 🥺 but if it’s too much work for you i’ve seriously actually considered doing one in asia for me i’m totally fine with starting all over so.. 🥺

god i’ve missed talking to you so much. once again i’m sorry for not being here, but hopefully after tomorrow’s exam school will be a bit more chill and i’ll be yours again.

hope you’ve been well babe. mwah!

hi!! that’s alright ahah, i assumed that was the case. i’ve been well!! and then not so well bc we weren’t talking 🤪 needless to say i’ve missed you a lot too <333

omggg QUEENS!!! i don’t have any healers but i don’t eat food either... LMFAO unless it’s a boss fight i’ll just keep going until i’m done with whatever it is then go heal at a statue fsdhfkdjs

!!! brb just gonna go get good at art so i can draw that for u 😩 i don’t have any predictions myself, but i’ve seen people say it’ll be ningguang + beidou + barbara possibly?? but of course, i would hope that xingqiu was there <3333 he can appear twice in a row come on mhy <3333 just think about that <333 and omggg i’d wish if chongyun came as well.. i really want to get him to c6 (but he was only two banners ago?) hbu do you have any thoughts on the matter~

AHAHAH good job im proud of you 😤😤 show that nasty place who’s boss!! if you want to, I don’t see why not! it’ll get you closer to pity as well so by the time venti is near, hopefully it won’t take you much to get him! lmk how it goes!!!! manifesting c6 xiangling for you 🔥

fhskdf thank you... is it weird to say i agree? FHDSKFHSDKFKJ like. 20/10 or 10/20... nice even multiples of ten numbers.. AHAHAH. no need to apologise at all!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 share whatever you’re comfortable with whenever you’re comfortable <33

hm it depends. (i just reaslised i said this exact phrasing last time too lmfao) i think i usually give up on it for a while? but sometimes i try to force myself through it too, just to get over that section so i can hopefully move on to a better one wait sorry i misread your question LOL. i usually leave it for the day as opposed to give up on it for a while! if i’m actively working on something i’d prefer to continue working at it slowly, even if the progress is just me opening the doc and then exiting after 5 mins fhdskj. are you the same? (NO!!! DO NOT SHUT UP @ YOU i never get to talk about writing processes pls im enjoying this a lot)

nice!! the vibes when writing during the day are sometimes better as well, bc it’s still light and stuff you’re not sitting in the dark or with a light on.. lol. it’s more ~natural~ & omg legendary... i love that for you!! on that note, do you usually study at school/cafes/libraries? i pretty much can only study at home, i hate doing it anywhere else. 

ahh that’s fair :( and yeah i agree books can get so expensive? like the authors def deserve to be compensated for all their hard work but damn lmao. oh that’s a good point! i do buy books yeah, and i don’t even necessarily reread them i just like having them on the shelf fhdskfd (there are many i haven’t even read for the first time... oops.) what ages do grade school cover? sorry i have no idea what that means fhsjfkshsdkjs the different names for education levels will never not confuse me. !! yeah i really wish legend was more popular aaaaa

here are some recent arts i’ve bookmarked!! (rip i should find one more so every word is linked but cbs hfskdhfs) i’m also considering making a genshin twitter! idk why i’m so averse to following these amazing accs on my normal account lmaoo but i’m also thinking of posting pics from the 52485 photoshoots i do with chongyun..

oh nice!!! i’m really happy you liked it 🥰🥰🥰 and yeah i do like g-idle but i don’t stan them! that’s me with most groups tbh fshkfjsd but i do watch most of their MVs when they first come out~

FSHFKJSDHFKSD wait what if.. this but it’s us surprising each other in the other’s servers <33 and if i’m telling you the truth... i kinda despise the idea of playing in am*rica server FHSDKJFHSDKFHSDKKDSHFKSDHKKJ but we could compromise and both start again in europe?? ahah let me know what you think! if you’re happy to just do one in asia tho that’s fine as well~ 

me too!! and no worries for real, school comes first!! (even if it fkn sucks... @ school i hate you. i say, when i’m still on holidays FHDSKJFJS) aaaa good luck on your exam!!! i hope you smash it 💪💪 

also um “and i’ll be yours again”??!?!?!?!? be still my beating heart 😩😩😩😩 i shall be waiting for you wifey hehe

hope you’ve been taking care of yourself!! kisses, c.r.

[moonlight-at-dawn]

how do you think the chocobros and luna smell like? i bet gladio smells like sweat, hahahaha. iggy looks like he's always 100%...

x3

Gladio: Works out a ton but also a big people-person. Uses soaps that smell like campfire, mellowed out a bit by faint orange-y citrus. This blends well when he gets sweaty, within reason ofc. It took him and Iris some time to find something that he liked and she said didn’t make him smell awful immediately after a workout lol

Ignis: Uses cleansing soaps with parsley and sharper, lemon-y citrus tones. The scent isn’t powerful, so you won’t notice his soap scent much unless your sticking your face against him probably. The scent of fresh, strong-brewed coffee clings to him. A slightly too avid handwasher, he also carries with him alongside the aroma of coffee, is a powder fresh scent from a simple lotion he keeps cause he dries out his hands on soap so much. (Instead of getting his shit together, teen!Noct gifts him some rubber gloves to help him stop messing up his skin so damn much cleaning after him lmao)

Prompto: Cannot settle on a scent he likes. Always trying out new things based on popularity and marketing and overheard gossip. He has a personal preference for things that focus on citrus, and develops an amusing fondness for tropical scents. Smells like Bath & Body Works lime and coconut type scents for most of high school, until Noct is like “dear god here” and gifts him a nice and more subtle cologne for his bday so the boy can stop experimenting and giving him headaches sometimes lol

Noct: Loves to look good and present well, so he is very, very particular about how he smells, but no one is allowed to know just how picky he is. Gentle florals with complementary citrus that you have to think about to notice is there. Jasmine with gentle orange is something he settles on, largely influenced by his time in Tenebrae. The scent of ink and pencil lead clings to his wrist on his writing hand.

Luna: Sylleblossom (which I hc as smelling something in between lavender and jasmine? idk if there’s actually something official on this ahahah). Her soaps have mild grassy-parsley notes under a sylleblossom perfume. Uses a lotion that mellows out the sharp floral with a gentler one, something in between vanilla and sugar, but quite mild. On healing days, she smells sharply sterile, very mindful that all kinds of sensitivities may cross her path, and since she has to stick her face in other people’s faces to heal, she doesn’t want them overpowered by fragrance.

[sixthwater]

Hiii! I followed your personal account, had no idea that you had a tarot & astro blog ahahah

Anyways, I saw you're using the tarot of the divine deck and I had a weird question about it… I got that deck about two or three months ago because I saw it on a youtube pac and I fell in love with it but I have a bit of an issue with it because I feel like it gives me answers that are complete gibberish lol.

I may not be the best reader but when I use different decks, I often see that there is something to the cards I draw (like the theme or similarities between the cards etc), even if I'm having hard time interpreting it. But with this deck it's different, it feels super random. And it doesn't help that some of the imaginery is very extreme (like 10 of swords in this deck, I just cannot read it in a positive or neutral way… and I had it come up as a positive thing)

So my question kind of is, how do you find this deck? And did ever had issues like that with other decks?

Ok I'm now gonna binge-read your pacs haha, loved the last one btw

Hi!!! Really quickly I really enjoy your astrology posts but I'm pretty sure you've figured that out by now but also my bad,,,,,sometimes I treat notifs here like my phone notifs and I forget to check back in fjkdl;sajifeja

So the Tarot of the Divine is actually one of my strongest decks, but I don't use it a lot because it likes romance, and I don't do a lot of romance readings unless it's for my friends or it happens to want to be picked up. I actually didn't believe in the whole deck personality thing until I got three decks and they answered my daily pulls very differently and I started to pick up on it so glad I figured it out before I got this one. (I'm gonna give like two examples)

The thing with this deck is that, for it, it kind of relies on the stories associated with it, to the point that it can slightly change the strength or interpretation of the cards (realizing my horror deck does this too, sorting these under dramatic decks). The 10 of Swords is one of my favorite actually. There's a lot to her but this went with the one involving her father. There's a range of different reasons leading up to why her father took her out to sea to push her off the boat, cutting off her fingers to ensure she drowns, but it always ends the same: in one way or another she is able to grow into something that gives back in a way (she becomes the goddess of the sea, her limbs become animals that the Inuit can then hunt, etc). So it's a betrayal that can give way to a mindset of revenge, but subconsciously along the way the person will have paths open up along the way that can help others along the way or they'll grow significantly from it, yet their mindset is currently clouded until they can heal, but it's not as blunt as most 10 of Swords are.

3 of Swords is another one of my favorite cards because it doesn't directly mean heartbreak but more trust broken between lovers or people. It's a really sad beautiful Japanese tale (The Crane Wife) that relies on someone trusting their spouse who disappears for long bouts of time in order to make something that they can sell for stability, but his curiosity / paranoia gets the best of him, he breaks his promise, and then she has to leave.

9 of Swords is the funniest to me bc it's associated with when Oedipus finds out about his son (so overthinking leading directly to your downfall), 8 of Cups is associated with Moses so it has a more spiritual undertone, 10 of Wands is bittersweet because its about a father who searched for his missing daughter alone until he died and a tree grew from his bones (so I associate that more with family or people who rely on you), 7 of Wands associated with John Henry so pretty almost on point, 9 of Cups I no longer can find romantic when using this deck because it's about a guy basically becoming what the woman wants (because she does not like men) in order to connect with her (so....wish fulfillment? but I used it for a first date reading and it was very insightful), and 3 of Wands is actually one of the cutest cards in this deck because it's about a girl who gets her husband taken so she sets out on a journey to get him back no matter the obstacles in front of her because of the deadline (I think three days or smth)

I actually have way more problems with the original Rider-Waite deck. I haven't wanted to get it until recently so I can go general spreads for wider audiences so they can pick up messages they might need themselves, but it feels like A House in astrology, whereas other tarot decks feel like The Signs. I can get my messages from Rider-Waite but it like...ends there LMAO meanwhile I can get a whole painted story in different ways from my other decks, so I usually try and use my rider deck alongside something else

Also thnk u thnk u thnk u thnk u

oathkeeper-of-tarth replied to your post “The Cat Came Back”

Omg finally… time to sink my teeth into this beauty… and FUCK the very first line, ahahah, the shrapnel talking, god, Ana, you disaster, ilu "It was a new Overwatch, her daughter’s Overwatch", the "cobbled-together Overwatch"... the best thing ever tbh. Bury me in found family feelings with these losers.

Thank you and YES, them all becoming some sort of loving, annoyed, but TOGETHER kind of a family is really important to me, this idea that these 5 weirdos (7 if you count jack and ana, and who knows how many eventually) try to make something, try to do something better than what came before, I am VERY into that. 

Lena, darling, would you like some popcorn?

Let’s be real though WE ARE ALL LENA OXTON IN THIS

This conversation, as well as the consideration of which language is spoken when, is everything, but "I certainly thought you could do that. But I did not think you could do that to me." just... *damn*.

Thank you!! With this conflict between Ana and Pharah, I was like, “Oh man, I have a golden opportunity here that i don’t normally get” Part of the reason I love overwatch is the wide diversity of the cast gives me a chance do to things with it that I don’t always get. And yes! I haven’t gotten to write as much about Pharah as I’d like, but the idea that she had so many complicated feelings about her mother, but always somehow, trusted that her mother loved her even if they didn’t get along? AND NOW??? THIS??? That’s my shit, gotta say. 

“Get out of my house, Ana Amari. The Shrike.” me at my laptop, very softly: holy shit

THANK!!!

That ending! Their Overwatch! There it issss! I am not being very articulate here but as much as I love the whole thing and the Amari Mama Drama, the way you’ve got the thread of the New Overwatch running through and tying together each of the segments is my favourite.

Thank you! It’s so important to me that Tracer and Pharah’s Overwatch is  something different, that THEY are different than the people that came before them, that they are BETTER. 

seolh replied to your post “The Cat Came Back”

And then Tracer being absolutely shocked and slamming the door in her face. But is it just shock at seeing Ana? Is there a moment of, "Ana is dead but I'm seeing her I can't be seeing her did my CA malfunction? I can't be lost in time not again not again." Or Tracer just thinking she's seen a ghost, because I totally believe that Tracer at least somewhat believes in ghosts.

Oh I think she does too. ANd yes ahaha, just being like, “WELP IT’S HAPPENED FINALLY CRACKED” and having to wait a few seconds before she looks out the door again. 

“Winston walked out of the kitchen into the living room, turned around, and walked right back into it.” LITERAL LOL . Pharah is so pissed and it's beautiful.  And Tracer watching the ‘show’ is amazing xD.  And Tracer watching the ‘show’ is amazing xD  Lena being THRILLED that the Amari-anger is not directed at her is so so good

Thank you!! I had so much fun writing the structure of this whole scene, with the really emotional parts and the really funny moment in the kitchen and with Lena

I absolutely love how conflicted and complicated Ana is and how angry Pharah is. And she is absolutely right to be furious. But seeing it from Ana’s side also makes it ache in the BEST WAY, because she made a very human decision and is having difficulty owning up to the fact that it was a bad decision.  It’s painful no matter which way you look at it and it’s DELICIOUS.

Yes!! I am, and will always be, “Ana Amari did a LOT of things wrong” but I also understand how hard it can be, and that’s why that whole line of “You make a decision for long enough, you decide the only thing to do is keep making it” like I GET IT, I just object to fandom generally letting her off the hook for it ahaha. 

AND THEN YOU FINISH OFF WITH PHARAH / MERCY FEELS AND I AM DYING.  God I love them SO MUCH and you write them SO WELL and now I have FEELINGS and aaaaahhhhh .  Mercy the healer who can't heal this hurt I love it SO MUCH. Healing is what she DOES, but her strong beautiful wife is CRYING and she can't fix it and NNNNGGGHHHH

Thank you!! I love writing Pharah/Mercy stuff because I always know you’ll love it, so I HAD to add them in this ahah. And yes, I feel like Pharah CRYING is some sort of defcon five situation, what the fuck do you even do? And Mercy would happily fucking pop Ana in the face right now if she got the chance because How dare!!!! She!!! (Maybe someday i will write Mercy trying to gather her courage to yell at ana ahaha) 

Also Lena is FABULOUS in this and the crunch of the potato chips is A+ (and then Winston saving her from certain death).

Winston is a solid 90% of Lena’s survival instinct ahaha

Also Pharah and her five parents is YES and Mercy reminding her of the good is good yes.  Also Pharah and her five parents is YES and Mercy reminding her of the good is good yes AND MERCY THE HEALER FIGHTING FOR PHARAH THE SOLDIER SO MUCH YES

Yes! Pharah being raising by five well-meaning people but basically SAM WAS THE BEST CHOICE HERE LBR is my fav headcanon in life, and Pharah having to deal with the fact that these people she loved so so much are EXTREMELY FLAWED, and the pain of that, A+. AND YES, Mercy is not a fighter by nature but for Pharah she can do ANYTHING. 

I feel like I have more to say that's actually comments and not screaming but the words won't come.  Not at all related to the double punch of FEELINGS because Amari drama and Pharah / Mercy. NOPE NOT AT ALL.

No this is my whole life and THANK YOU

"I speak Arabic as Fareeha does German: Badly, and for love.” This line is so sweet and makes me smile SO HARD.

Thank you! That line I wrote a long, long, time ago, not even knowing where I’d use it, but the idea of the two of them stumbling over each other’s languages FOR EACH OTHER was just too much for me. 

God the Pharah/Ana interactions are EXQUISITE it makes me ache in the best way

Thank you! I’ve been sitting on this a LONG TIME, I was really nervous about it? So I’ve been so pleased to see people enjoying it

I do enjoy how Jack is basically. Oh. *blinks* This is good.

At this point I think of jack as being a lonely fuck up, and does he even deserve to reach out to anyone, with the massive amount of mistakes he’s made? And then Ana is there, and she is an old friend, and she is ALSO a fuckup, and they have each other now. 

This doesn’t hit me in the same way that your Pharah / Mercy-focused fics do (nor did I expect it to) but it’s so INTERESTING and SO GOOD and there are still a massive boatload of FEELINGS and just YES

Thank you so much for liking it!!

FE: Birthright Randomised Prologue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2

(aka ‘I can’t believe Shadow is freaking Dead’)

ok Are you ready for this? I’m sure not but let’s mcfreaking go I’m gonna go on a lot of tangents probably so please forgive me for that---

oooooooook so let’s see if this actually works (I haven’t actually tested it yet, but it loaded instead of hanging at a black screen so I’m assuming it does), let’s also see if it breaks the game or not b/c I’ve heard that Birthright can so therefore Conquest is more reliable but I never want to play Conquest ever again holy heck I don’t have a physical copy of Conquest ayyyy

But enough stalling! Let’s get right to it! Ah jeez I really want to give Corrin the really short hair I did when I branched off to Revelation but I want to keep the SYMBOLISM-

.... a lot of these pictures are gonna be squint ahah (also it’s Samurai b/c I need Astra lmao)

ok then let’s goooooo

I suppose I should be worried that the ‘No’ option doesn’t show properly but w/e (the button is blank lol)

........ Azura could you build the suspence any higher ahahahah;;;;;;

OH MY GOD IT WORKED

TAKUMI REPLACED HINOKA I’M GOING TO D I E And he’s a Diviner lmao no Fujin Yumi for u m8 I hope that the Ryoma and Takumi replacements can/will use Raijinto and Fujin Yumi lol ohhh my farore I am actually shaking aaaaahhh give me a minute ahahh--- this is so surreal is this actually happening I don’t even kno w ANYWAY

Takumi are you saying ‘How dare you!?’ to the Nohrian for trying to attack me or me for not knowing how to dodge-

also I’m going to skip enemy/ally phases so there aren’t any spoilers >:3c

ok I know it’s for stability’s sake, but Takumi with the Sky Knight class looks like he has short hair-

OH MY GOFD

woops I could have taken a better one uagiuagdfudgh RYOMA IS REPLACED WITH AZURA I’M DYI N G IT’S WORSE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM NEXT TO ME WHO CAN PROBABLY HEAR MY LAUGHING THO HECK

ah yeah since it’s Birthright then the Nohrian siblings won’t get randomised for stability :V

wait Felici a is tAKUMI FELICIA IS TAKUMI WE DON’T NEED TO PLAY IT ANY FURTHER THIS IS THE PINNACLE HOLY HYLIA

ohhh my gosh Sakura is replaced with Mozu aaaaaahhhhh that’s adorable auhfiughdfysdgf

OH YM GOD

Ryoma is Yukimura I’m This playthrough is going to end me tbh---

I don’t think I’m ever going to get over Felicia being Takumi and Azura being Ryoma tbh holy heck

also I really hope Felicia turns out to be a class that can use bows so that she could possibly have Fujin Yumi idk how it works tho ahahahhhh;;;;;;

I’m not getting over this, I can’t wait to see more of Felicia being passive aggressive/throwing the extreme SALT around

Azura, Takumi just asked if u were alright, I don’t really think humming is gonna help u with answering him-

Azura, High Princess of NoChill-shido

aaaand more vanilla sibliings (I’m sorry, I didn’t have the courage to try to get Revelation to work-)

It’s at times like this when you realise just how different Hinoka and Takumi are when it comes to acting towards u at the start asfhiudfsiudh

WELP ANYWAY that concludes the Proloooogue, time to get right into Chapter 1 aaaaaah

also this is what I was talking about with the button being blank ahahahh;;;;

time to see Felicia and Jakob’s replacements ayyyy OH MY GOD

Felicia is now an Oni Savage Hana holy heck- JAKOB IS KAZE I’M GOING TO DI E

OH MY GOD Flora asked Hana if she’d help w/ waking Corrin up and Hana’s voiceline was just ‘No’ aioasdfudfhsudfs I think I’m going to do Chapter 2 as well seeing as basically nothing will be different this chapter b/c I ain’t doing Conquest ahahah;;;

I always seem to forget how tutorial heavy fe games are, but especially in Fates :’’’’D ayyyy first level up! ..... I only got hp! :’’’’’’’’D yikes that was an awful level up audgaiufhaduf do the growth rates change for Corrin? idek ahahah (no they don’t seem to)

anyway hope ur ready to Die, Xander if not then.................. well this is Birthright ayyyy lmao

aaanyway we don’t need to see this cutscene we’ve already seen it before many tiiiimes because it’s exactly the saaaaaaaaaame but there’s Leo with his inside out collar again lmao there’s a tag on it and everything that’s cute

You know what I realised the other day though??? A unit’s clothing can get ripped in this game, idk what causes it tho, probably getting low on HP, and it’s certainly not fixed magically w/ healing it’s a funny little detail idek

lmao bye Hana we won’t see u again for a whiiiile ahahh;;;;

onto Chapter 2! :D (I love this so far ngl, oh my Farore)

So! who are the Hoshidan prisoners!? >:D oh yeah we have to see Ganon- GARON, first asjhifadufa Dragon Veins, Ganglari, magic from Valla, yadda yadda yaddaaaaa PRISONERS!

..........oh my Farore-

Kaze don’t be mean >:V I mean.... yeah tea sounds great right now but THAT DOESN’T MATTER U were in their position once, in an alternate universe :Y

........................... Holy Hylia-

...... So does this mean I can call Jakob a grill he certainly does roast ppl a lot in the original-

WHAT ARE THE ODDS

THAT RINKAH REPLACES KAZE- it was really funny tho, when Corrin said ‘Huh? Have you heard of me?’ Rinkah just said nothing, but her mouth was open and her voice line was ‘What?’ so I’m just imagining her like ‘Bitch, I am Hurt’

yeah yeah Dragon Vein tutorial and all that I GET IT- Let’s look at Kaze’s stats and skills! >:D

...... Holy shit he’s a monster

His personal skill is Collector, which is super neat because hey! free stuff! :D He also has Seal Magic which could be good with his terrible less than stellar Resistance, and Good Fortune, which restores up to 20% HP EACH TURN, well.... based on his luck stat, which is..... pretty bad lmao- maybe he has a really good Luck stat growth idk (I peeked at the output file after having played the chapter and his stat growths are HP = 15, Str = 30, Mag = 35, Skill = 50, Spd = 25, Lck = 50, Def = 20, Res = 40, so yeah, pretty decent barring HP and Def haha;;;) But LOOK AT THAT STRENGTH HE’S A BEAST AND A C RANK IN SPEARS THAT’S FANTASTIC UGH- Kaze........ my man, I can’t wait to see what you can Heart Seal into it could probably be really cool, or..... pretty bad, idk anything could happen with this randomiser

I just realised how ironic his randomised class was; he went from a light, speed based Hoshidan class to a bulky, defence based Nohrian class ahahah;;;

but enough digressing! Let’s get started! >:D

....... Goddesses damn it Kaze, why do you have such an adorable laugh u’r gonna kill me- also don’t lie, you can’t use staves :V Anyway, I shouldn’t bother letting Gunter get experience because reasons, this is Birthright-

I’m just gonna end the turn without doing anything and see what happens, because I want them to still be paired up when they attack/still be on the healtile;;;

Rest in pieces, generic samurai.

Look at how quick these guys are to throw their lives away, how cute. Another level uuuuup 1 point to Speed and Luck, wow that’s.... not all that great, but I’m not going to have a lot of luck anyway so I should just take what I can get :V

Jakob no, it’s no use You have a club and your against a sword I mean yeah you survive but not for long m8

....... I hate to break it to ya, Jakob, buuuut

ah jeez, Corrin almost leveled up again-

Dammit Corrin, we could have finished it there and then if you had just HIT HER- no matter, she should be done now

Ayyy, level up for Kaze!

And it’s pretty darn good too! :V

I still can’t believe that Kaze replaces Jakob, like, they couldn’t be any different with how they treat people- I’m not complaining tho; means I get Kaze pretty early on >:3c ayyy he got Defence +2! :D

aww that’s the end of the Chapter ;;u;;

ooooh hey! Jakob’s a Nohr Prince and Rinkah’s a Spear Fighter! (That makes what Jakob said earlier even better lmao;;; ) I can’t wait to see Jakob turn into a mcfreaking DRAGON awwww yeeeaaaah >:3ccccc

oh yeah, Garon talking about ‘kill the Hoshidans!’ all that nonsense like, bruh. nah. I want a Nohr Prince and Spear Fighter, yo. it’s funny how Jakob still stands the way he does tho, but I can’t get a picture of it agusdasusfgha

ahhh, wheesht Xander, u idiot, you know more than anyone that there’s something definitely up with Garon and all that stuff with the vanilla Nohr siblings yadda yadda

Ok you can’t really see it, but there’s Jakob standing the way he usually does lol

Why u gotta be so r00000d it’s still oddly fitting that he’s in the place of Rinkah, tho; it’s like, what Jakob would act like towards Corrin if he hadn’t been their butler, albeit a little less passive aggressive :V

JAKOB I told u to STOP-

aww man, that’s the real end of the chapter

safjuhduhfsdufhasf I wanna play moooore but I shouldn’t make this go on too long ;;;;u;;;; So u can bet that I’ll keep going later hahahah;;;;

Sorry for the low quality images btw, I might look into getting a screenshot plugin at some point, idk I also don’t know how often I should do these, so if anyone who bothered to get this far could tell me what they would think would be best that would be really great :0

[mercurymaplekey-blog]

fanfic tropees, enemies to lovers, A/B/O, soulmate AUs with the words on the bodies and shit, love/hate at first sight, stockholm syndrome aaaaand its 3am at were going to fuckin dennys type of fic

WELL THIS IS GONNA BE LONG

Enemies to lovers: Of course I’d write this. Of course I love this. You know I like the rivals to dating trope when it’s done right. I mean, actually it’s 50/50 sometimes i absolutely hate it, and sometimes i really love it. Depends on the dynamic. But the way I see it: there’s either a ton of potential there, or they just don’t work together. Maybe I’m not going full-hog enemies to lovers and I’m thinking more rivals to lovers, but I’d write Strongarm/Sideswipe. Specifically, I wanna write a highschool au where they both get stuck together for a group project, and Sides is obviously that kid who like never fucking comes to class, and when he does he’s in the back of the room with his feet up on the desk getting snarky, and they get stuck together for this project and Sides is basically like ‘lol have fun doing the project for me’ except Strongarm is not taking any of that shit and she will literally handcuff Sides to her and make him do his half of the work if she has to. And basically they’re just fighting over this project for the entire semester, and they hate each other, but obviously that starts to change. 

A/B/O: Oh man, hahaha, talk about tropey. Tbh, abo has like, some potential for worldbuilding if you went about the biology of it the right way. But overall it’s like. God, it’s just a way to force roles on people. And imo there’s nothing really that abo gives you that a good sex pollen fic couldn’t give to you in better more creative means. I’d probably never write an ABO. If i’m gonna write about a dominant species vs a submissive species, I’d just cut out the middle man and leave the heats at the door and talk about tfa bots and cons because i mean like hello, look at those differences in power. It takes like 6 bots to take out a con. Conversely, if I wanted to write about heats, I’d just use sex pollen or any other kind of weird-alien-fauna type deal. Or maybe a virus if we wanted to get particularly kinky. That could be interesting actually. As to who I’d write… well… I’m open to suggestions. 

Soulmate au with the words: G A Y. Gaaaaayyyyyyyyyy. I’m gay, and I know this, but that would be particularly cute for saisonic. and I could probably be convinced to do something like that in the right au for choukei too but it would have to be that one royalty au that i’m already disgustingly soft for, or something similar. I disgust myself. Also, this was awhile ago, but i once saw a post where it was like a soulmate au, but they hate each other and upon figuring out they’re soulmates they’re like ‘ew no fuck that’ and i have always and still to this day think that that is the only way i would ever write waspbee. But that specific scenario would be SO GOOD for waspbee. And no eventually getting used to each other and deciding they actually are soulmates. They just don’t like each other and wasp picks on bee even more for it. Soulmates are fucking stupid. I actually found the original post to this idea!! Read it cause it explains it better.

Love/Hate at first sight: Okay I ain’t a big believer in love at first sight. But hate at first sight is REAL. That being said, as far as fic is concerned… I think i’d have a lot more fun writing hate at first sight. Hate at first sight would be fucking hilarious to write. Just like, illogical, irrational hatred. An All Encompassing Hatred. A hatred so intense that just thinking about them is enough to get you punching consoles and ranting to whoever will listen. A Hatred so spark-deep that your own minicons are starting to question your intentions, because, let’s face it, at this point you might be more interested in the hating then you are in the actual money involved with the original bounty. I’m just talking about Fracture’s hatecrush on Drift. I’d write the fuck out of that. It’s real. 

Stockholm Syndrome: Oh buddy u just said the magic words. I love love love the concept of stockholm syndrome. You know i do. You know i love the psychological shit. Of course I’d write this. There’s so many WAYS to write this. I mean, ShockBlurr, obviously. And I’d love to write more of them in the future. Blurr I feel would be pretty resistant to this kind of manipulation normally, being a trained soldier, but honestly that just means you get to go harder on him ahahah. And i mean, the whole Longarm thing lends a lot of weight. Waspinator, given everything he’s been through, and how often he’s been victimized, would be especially susceptible to this trope I feel. I mean, he wanted Blackarachnia to be his friend just because she listened to him for five seconds (well that was before he was Waspinator, but you know). You could get that dynamic with him and BA if you wanted, or with any other con. But like, tbh, to be honest, honestly? Whenever I see content with Shockwave and Wasp i fucking drink that shit up so quick. Touoso stockholm stuff i would fucking devour. I’d love to write it. I’d love to. 

3AM at Denny’s: I love shenanigan fic. Like. If you know me, which you do, then you also know that I love shenanigan fic. And do you know what my go to pair almost always is when i think of shenanigans? RodBlurr. The pure otp. the good ones. Go to Denny’s and have a silly adventure you two. Throw fries at each other and argue and talk about the not so chill stuff that just went down. Meet at 3 in the morning because you’re both always on and off planet and you’re schedules never line up and this is about the only time it actually worked out for once. Or maybe because someone snuck out of the medbay because cosmic rust apparently takes way longer to heal from than a full spark transplant. Just, go have fun boys. Live. Be free. My good ones. Au or not, it really doesn’t matter to me, meeting at 3AM at Denny’s is a fucking universal concept. 

[riskeith]

ooo! how was playing? what do you think about the event? i’m really enjoying it actually... always nice getting new daily things to do hehe.

yeah i think everyone knows The Cover now. i still can’t believe they did that... not complaining tho... oh really? you’re absolutely right and judging by the way they’re taking the story it seems like those two will have a lot more growth to their relationship. who knows maybe we’ll even get a part where bakugou apologizes or even talks about their past etc. one can only wish. YEAH i’ve seen both the movies and i love them!! they’re super fun and such a nice break from everything that happens in the anime sjskjssk kiribaku in the first one was so gay i.... we get it boys y’all in love fhjsjdjfk (THE SIDEWAYS TODOBAKU SMILE... one of my favorite moments ever) i am all caught up now.. waiting for s5... :(

no clue!! it’s just my theory so it might be wrong. the blue one was cute too so was the pink one.... they’re all cute why do we have to pick just one :( HEY you do know how to draw 😡 pretty amazingly too! but i’d love to see that in your style chongyun is so precious.. <3

omg i gotta hustle hard for AR 35 then i already miss him. i’m at 26 now and god.. it’s getting more and more difficult i can’t imagine how it is at like 45... 😭

oooooh!!! honestly barbara healing is godsent if you don’t get him you should consider it (hopefully you do though!!) IVE SEEN VIDEOS OF OCEANID AND HE LOOKS SO SCARY CLUNA.... no thoughts head empty only boy scouts party. looking at others with amazing parties: ok but do you have boy scouts party?

i mostly have sword users! but like i mentioned i’m starting to fall in love with book users (and even bow users) shskfhdkd so i might consider investing in those some day idk they just shoot of attacks and it’s so sexy. no hands dirty. ningguang seems so op 😭 plus geo is so nice!! like an all around element.

HE’S TALL? he has a short person voice...

i’m making a twitter i wanna see some fluff 😭 wait really? even this fandom is shit? why 😭 i sometimes see yt comments and the thing i’m iffy about is how people talk about spending money on it etc but is there more?

i’ve never heard anyone do that that’s so interesting!!!! do you write it down in the same doc and then delete it or do you write it separately?

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!!! i’ve had so many ideas come to me before bed and i always think that i’m gonna remember them but i never do it makes me so upset. especially if it’s an idea of how to continue a story i’m stuck with... god it’s the worse. writer things 🤪

“stan loona” aka bane of my existence. i don’t usually tell ppl i used to stan because of that reason sksksj. god that was the worst sheesh. anyway. yelling at ALL of these!!! ofc i know daddy issues slowed!!!!!!!!! it’s like one of the most popular slowed songs we’re all just a sad horny bunch loving sexy vibes huh. i listen to slowed songs a lot when i write actually it sets the mood. it doesn’t even have to be anything racy sometimes it’s just calms you down. do you listen to music while you write? also i don’t listen to any of those you mentioned except troye 😭 i’m sorry 😭 but if you’re have recs i’d love to hear them ofc!!

“after school” time that’s so cute. it reminds me of when you’re younger and you run back home and eat a snack and watch cartoon (i say that as both of us still watch cartoons... yee) speaking of crying; would you consider yourself a crybaby? (such a random question hskshdjdfhhd)

before i leave; let me blow your mind with a little something... https://twitter.com/primo_fates/status/1347780975078506496?s=21

hehe... mwah. ;)

it was good!! i tried to get some ominous masks and weathered arrows, but drop rates are always shit lolll. and i think the event is alright! i don’t love it but yeah as you said it’s fun to have something more to do every day.

ikr omg... it’s such a good cover LMAO. omg a bakugou apology 😩😩. what did you think of deku vs kacchan part 2?? i regularly rewatch clips of it and cry LMAOOO god bakugou.. “why did i become the reason for all might’s end?” heart broken wow. NICE!! yeah i remember everyone freaking out over the kiribaku scenes in the first one and honestly,,,, how else do you explain it LMAO. (AND THAT SIDEWAYS SMILE!!! holy shit i watched the movie like the day after i got into todobaku and that scene obliterated me.... absolutely destroyed!) aw nice! but yeah now it’s just the waiting game i guess lol welcome to the club 🤪

yeah omg when i reached 45 i was like “wow i’m gonna have to do the ascension quest soon” but it’s taking me so long to reach ar 46??? yikes how am i meant to get the experience with no quests fkhdsfkjsd

i use barbara a lot in the fire domains and with the pyro regisvine!! it’s kinda funny that i’m bringing a level 40 into a level 70+ fight LOL but yeah she’s good! AND YEAHHH OCEANID LEGIT GIVES ME NIGHTMARES I JUST. as soon as i had an actual team that could beat it i grinded it as much as i could before my world level went up and it became impossible again.... but since mine might go up again soon maybe i should grind some more... and maybe i’ll be able to level up both xingqiu and barbara lol. EXACTLY!! can they pls interact in game somehow omg.. we need a bennett story!! and more razor!!!! and chongyun too!! i forgot he hasn’t actually appeared in game hfsdkjfds. and ofc xingqiu <3

fdfjlsjfs are you gonna go from a no long range team to an only long range team ahahah. and you like geo??? omg no... i hate it bc it’s so like. inert FHKDJFSD. but i guess the shields are really nice!

HE’S 172 CM!!!!! he has a baby face too so it’s pretty wild fhskdjds

ooo wdym how they talk about spending money? i don’t really look at youtube comments tbh lol. and i haven’t really seen people talk about spending money much on twitter? tho some content creators i follow open commissions for money for the gacha fhsdfksj. if you do end up joining genshintwt i hope you have fun!! 

same doc and then i delete! but sometimes if the plan is really long i’ll make a new doc so i can see both at the same time (but recently i’ve just been opening the same doc again so i can see both that way lol). do your dotpoints go into the same doc as your writing one?

LMAOOO yeah i’m always like “hnghhh okay it’s fine.. i will Remember... trust myself” and then i never do and it’s just like welp goodbye to that amazing idea. but also bc it was thought up at such a weird time maybe it isn’t actually that good after all LOL

oh nice!! yeah slowed songs are soooo good. and i usually do listen to music! it’ll depend on what i’m writing bc i like the songs to have a similar vibe, but sometimes it’s too distracting so i put on lofi or something so there are no words ahaha. oh rippp LOL! hmm well badlands by halsey was my klance/voltron album writing soundtrack for a really long time.. i wrote a few fics with that in the background i think! melanie martinez’ k-12 album has a whole free movie to go with it! if you wanna check that out. bastille’s pompeii was really popular but i also really like flaws and of the night from them.. a lot of these are older bc i don’t listen to new stuff fhsdfkjds. and hmm pentatonix (they’re an acapella group!) do a lot of covers so maybe you can find one of a song you like and check them out that way? ahah that’s a lot feel free to not listen to any!! no stress at all lmao

oh fun fact melanie has a idk what to call it character? and song called ‘crybaby’! so very coincidental you asked. but yeah i think i am? LMAOOO like if i’m alone in my room watching something and it’s sad i Will Not hesitate to cry.. like sometimes you just gotta get it out you know? and sometimes maybe it’s a little boy singing a korean cover of colours of the wind but it’s so ethereal you just burst into tears but that’s fine! FHDSKJFHDSFKJS. how about you?
