#anyway. very interesting writing around this dynamics. i hope there will be more in future chapters so i can update my thoughts etc.

[amelikos]

The writing around Friede and Amethio's dynamics is brilliant for many different reasons, but one of the things I enjoy the most about it is that Amethio gets to act bratty in a way he rarely gets to be around others when he faces Friede (not liking being given orders, etc).

[raylenships]

I have some crazy conspiracy theories:

I always get this really strange, really disappointed, really let down feeling(depression am i right)when I actually stop and think about the relationship dynamics in Moominvalley. I mean, there are so many people who wholeheartedly believe in and support Snufmin but does anyone realize that if they were made canon, it would likely be more unusual and out of the norm for Moominvalley than it would be for our world of reality?

Let's start with the og crew: Moominpapa(Moomintroll's father), the Joxter(Snufkin's father), and the Muddler(Sniff's father). They were a trio of good friends going on adventures and then you look at their children and see how they too are a trio of good friends(I can't assume for two of them though...)going on adventures. Generally, I feel like Moominpapa and Joxter are the ones talked about the most and that's certainly true of Moomintroll and Snufkin as well, although we do love our Muddler and Sniff.

Then you look at what happened after their adventure days were over. They all got married(well most of them anyways) and found girls to love and had children. That's the norm. That's what's expected. That's their childrens' fate.

In the eyes of the kids who watch the show, Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden are soulmates. They’re the perfect couple. They'll end up like Moominmama and Moominpapa. And hopefully, Sniff and Snufkin will find someone too. I mean, I don't how many of you have even heard of the Snufkin and Alicia ship. I don't like it but that would be the norm...I guess. Sorry I really don't like that ship :/

It's never even implied or mentioned ever but I just feel like the unmentioned norm would be expected from like, everyone.

However, I think there’s more hope for the future now since it's now implied that Sniff doesn't really feel romantic feelings for anyone. I think it's safe to even mention that Snorkmaiden isn't a moomin like Moomintroll's parents both are(I mean it's another difference between generations to pin my delusions to)And despite that weird ship with Alicia, I doubt there's anyone on Snufkin’s radar except Moomintroll.

That brings this whole spiel to an even sadder conspiracy: Snufkin is the only one of the two who harbors romantic feelings.

I can't name certain instances because I have short term memory loss but I think this a very plausible theory. There really isn't a romantic interest for Snufkin in the series unless you count when his own step sis tried to get with him in the anime(like wtf was that?) Anyways, Moomintroll, on the other hand, has Snorkmaiden. My thing is, he either loves Snufkin platonically or he realizes he feels something more but doesn't want to break the social norm and disappoint people.

it's gotta be one of those two and since i'm a shipper I gotta lean toward the latter.

(I actually tried writing a fanfic about this a few months ago but I dropped it temporarily. I think I'll pick it up soon because I did like it I just got insecure lol)

But really all i'm doing here is throwing words in your face because I rewatched some s2-s3 episodes and got mad all over again. So yeah.

That's all I have to say today. I honestly think I say more on this site than I do in real life which is really sad but that's life these days. Nobody around to talk to about this stuff except you guys.

Thanks for reading whoever ended up reading this! I'm sorry if I left you more confused than you were before.

'Night, tumblr

[burningcheese-merchant]

Honestly thank goodness you, your work and your writings have been feeding me especially with your Burningcheese and redemption au ((your alternate reality with Pepper Jack is also very good poor boy going through it dealing with the worst versions of his parents))

I’ve only recently gotten more into crk and I’ve quickly learned some things 1.) become a multipshipper you just enjoy an abundance of dynamics that are interesting and 2.) people need to learn to respect eachother more and understand said dynamics between characters and situation ((TikTok and Twitter I’ve seen the worse of this))

So checking on tumblr and seeing your work and writings and explaining your reasons have been such a thankful breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work

Come on now, flattery won't get you anywhere! Seriously though, thank you ❤️ I say it all the time, it brings me a lot of joy to see and know my dorky gibberish actually interests people lol. I know I'm not the greatest writer in the world, nor will I ever be, but as long as people actually find joy and merit in my work then that means I'm doing something right!

(And the alternate reality with Pepper Jack... You mean me barging into cuppajj's Beast Ancients AU and shoving Jack in there? 😅 It's a creative writing exercise I kind of imposed on myself for funsies, really. It's an interesting AU and I found myself wondering how he'd fare in a place like that (him and not his sister, because unfortunately, she'd probably get herself in serious trouble immediately. She wouldn't be able to pretend to be happy or ignorant around Celestial Cheese, nor could she stand to see a bitter, mean, selfish husk that dares to look like her father (BAAU Spice). It would be Game Over for her in a day). I'm basically looking at that AU and my own reflection and going "GUARDS!!! PUT THE BLOND BOY IN A SITUATION!!!" as silly as that is haha)

And yeah hoes be mad about shipping as usual lol. I can't stress this enough, shipping is just playing dollhouse. Play with yours the way you want and extend that courtesy to everyone else. Sure, you don't have to like which dolls other people make kiss lord knows I'd throw 🔺🥛 into an active volcano if I could but there's really no need to get so bent out of shape about it, you know? Just focus on what you like and leave others in peace. Multiship, ship casually, become demonically possessed by a certain ship and allow them to dictate all of your creative decisions for the foreseeable future, just have fun! They're cookies, who cares

Anyway. Thank you for your kind words and support!!! I hope I can keep entertaining you with my stuff for as long as I can! (Also, I hope you're enjoying the game so far!)

[yeen-meteor]

I want to take a moment to try to express why i appreciate Haru's sadism as an actual serious part of her characterization and not just a funny contrast joke and 'yay girl violence!' don't get me wrong i love me some yay girl violence for the sake of it, but like. i think there's a lot to work with there for genuine drama writing, too, not just comic relief and i want to talk about it! (cw sugimura)

for all of haru's backstory and her life with her father, sure she's rich and has a lot of privileges, but the one thing she completely lacks is any sort of control. Everything about her life is being decided for her, her father has decided on the shape of her entire future, and she can't do anything to change it - she's being raised just for the sake of being outright sold as a sex slave trophy wife to a perverted creep who is certainly too rich and powerful to ever face legal trouble for marital rape. She's going through the motions, enjoying what she can of the life she has while she still has it, completely hopeless in the face of this horrifying future that other people are forcing her into. Her will means nothing, what she wants means nothing.

And then the Phantom Thieves come along, and they give her the power to make her will matter, to fight for her own freedom and happiness. And that power comes in the shape of violence, physically fighting images of all the things and people standing in her way.

But more than that, she starts to feel 'shivers of excitement' when she hears shadows begging and pleading beneath her. She feels what it's like to have something absolutely, pathetically desperate to make her stop, to deny her what she wants - and to bask in the feeling that she doesn't have to listen, she's the strong one, she can shut them the fuck up with an axe through the skull because their will, their selfish desire, their plan for her doesn't matter anymore, her will, Haru's will matters. It's catharsis, it's intoxicating, it's a rich and indulgent feeling of real actual control and the freedom that comes with it, something she's been denied all her life, and it's probably an unhealthy way to get that feeling but who cares? these are just shadows!

And that catharsis and relief and self-assured confidence she gets from that just makes her better able to be her sweetest, kindest, purest self around the people she loves! It doesn't undermine the sweet person she is, it helps it!

And then, she makes the choice to try to cure her father's brain-rotting greed and see if there's anything worth salvaging in his heart. It might not be the best choice, it could certainly be argued about, but it's her choice, it's her will, and she finally, finally feels like she's able to make that mean something-

and Akechi takes the choice away from her, and forces her to live in the future he decided for her.

I think when people write the dynamic between Akechi and Haru, they can sometimes miss the forest for the trees - 'you killed my father', without the underlying 'this was the first time i believed i ever had a choice in my own life, and you took it away from me and fucking crushed it before my eyes'. I've also seen it done very well too, and I love it! but i think a lot of writers are sleeping on the potential a bit, of haru & akechi focused stories, or even of haru as a source of drama and an interesting supporting character in shuake stories. In general, haru's potential for anger, frustration, violent desires and just a need to feel in control of her own life has a lot of potential in drama writing!

Atlus certainly dropped the ball on the akechi and haru dynamic, and kept the sadism thing as mostly comic relief, but Persona canons are all half-realized outlines of good ideas just begging for fic writers to come and actually flesh them out, anyway, so ah well!

all i hope for is that if you're a persona writer that doesn't know what to do with haru or how to use her, or doesn't pay her much mind, maybe this might inspire you or give you a clearer idea of how to write her dramatic side!

please please please write something for Mickey altieri I love him sm

You know I love Mr. Altieri and I'm always happy to write for him 😉 Hope you enjoy this set of headcanons darling 💕

~ Lots of love, Vy 💌

Mickey Altieri having a crush on you in college would include:

You told yourself you wouldn't date in college - for many reasons

Obviously, piles of schoolwork and many hours of studying awaited you and you couldn't imagine yourself forfeiting your future and neglecting all that work for a significant other

But also the upcoming four years are exactly the years meant for being wild and you couldn't afford missing out on any of that due to a commitment to another person

But at this point life had rudely taught you that things rarely go as you hope and plan them to

One of the variables you didn't factor into your planning was Mickey fucking Altieri

The sleek bastard

You'd caught his eye from day one - orientation day, to be exact

He was very fond to see you in his film class and with a bit of asking around he found out you too are a film major

He wasted no time pulling out every flirting trick he can ever remember working on you

All to be dismissed and rejected each and every time

But he's a persistent man, well aware of his charm and charisma

"I'm not your type, I get it. How about we start over? Friends?"

"In your dreams, Altieri." You roll your eyes at his poorly disguised attempt at poking through your guard

"How come you know my last name?"

Your eyes widen before you can stop them

You've just exposed your own snooping agenda

You'd be lying if you said you didn't conduct your own research on this man

Sure, he's attractive, fun to be around, charismatic - magnetic, almost

And, contrary to his claim, just your type

But you refuse to give in

That is until you realize that giving him a chance doesn't automatically mean establishing a relationship

Rather a dynamic

One with the potential to be quite fun and exciting at best

Interesting and eventful at worst

So, when he tries one more time, offering you nothing more than his company to a sorority party

You shock him by agreeing, retorting with a time at which you required him to pick you up from your dorm building

And pick you up he does

You roll your eyes at the corny gesture of a bouquet - or the sorry excuse for one he'd picked up on his way across campus

Still, you can't help but find it endearing

"I knew you'd like me eventually" he is getting cocky, reaching even, but as long as he's able to get a laugh out of you he's satisfied

"Don't hold your breath. I just wanted to go to a party."

"Yeah but you could've gone with anyone else. Just admit you like me, hell won't freeze over."

You narrow your eyes at him a part of you regretting the decision to accept his offer while another corner of your brain is looking forward to the evening the two of you are about to have

"Over my dead body"

Little do you know, he could easily get that arranged

But he'd never do that, not to you anyway

"Ten bucks says they disappear to make out an hour into the party." Hallie says, peering over at Sidney as the two observe their friend meet up for something they adamantly claimed wasn't a date

"You're on." Sid agrees, both girls giggling as they get back to getting ready for the party

A party you and Mickey disappear from about forty-five minutes in, earning Hallie ten dollars

The rest is history - history filled with Mickey poking fun at how quickly your resolve crumbled

Because now, four months later, you're celebrating three months of officially dating

This is one of those rare occasions when life works out a lot better than you'd originally planned it

Some things are better off unplanned

The best things in life come as a surprise, after all

Thoughts on 7.2 

I am happy but also a bit sad?

In almost every way, this patch was exactly what I wanted and predicted!

In particular, Endless Sphene being a passive, idealized version of the more opinionated and driven original person was something I’d been thinking about since ffxivwrite. So basically all the Sphene stuff this patch was me pointing at the screen and going I KNEW IT! 😂

It’s unclear if the changes were deliberate doctoring by Preservation to remove any problematic or rebellious aspects to her personality, or if it’s just the result of Endless Sphene being based on memories of how others saw Sphene, not her own. Either way, Endless Sphene coming across as uncanny and inhumanly idealized seems very intentional in hindsight. And it plays very well into a lot of the analysis I’ve seen about Sphene’s character. (I should really do a Sphene-centric queue sometime… there’s so much good stuff that’s been written on her.)

Also on a related note…

the lesbians are winning! 👀

After 7.0, the main thing my silly little shipper heart wanted was some way, AU or not, for Wuk Lamat to have been able to meet the original Sphene. She tried so hard to reach out to the Endless version, but that was inevitably going to end in conflict and tragedy. But what if they’d met earlier, before Sphene had put herself on that path? Maybe they really could have been allies, friends, or even something more…? :3

Anyway long story short I was very tempted to screenshot every time these two looked at each other during the patch. They don’t quite know what to make of each other yet but I can’t wait to see where their dynamic goes from here! 

Although…the writing around Wuk Lamat this patch actually made me a little sad too. Sure, Lamaty’i was always going to take a backseat this patch with the focus on OG Sphene and Calyx wanting the Azem Crystal and/or Key. But the way that every other scene had her go off to silently talk to someone else or make other excuses just to get her out of the picture was jarring. At least in post-StB, Lyse gets her big goodbye in 4.0 and her responsibilities in a official military position justify why she can’t come adventuring any more. With Wuk, she’s literally right there on screen, just shoved in a corner and put on mute. 

I’m just really worried this will be Lyse/Fordola all over again, where the writers set up an interesting dynamic (even despite some base expansion writing flaws), but then one character gets blamed and hated for being the face of a less popular expansion, and now any further development of the aspects that were good about that character gets canned. :(

Incidentally, 7.2 fixed one of my actual complaints with the 7.0 (maybe even as far back as 6.x) writing, which was the use of side characters. The characters that had character-unique things to do (like Alisaie’s determination to find cures!) got their own subplots and characters that weren’t immediately relevant (like Alphinaud) got to take a break until they were needed.

And maybe it’s just because I went into 7.2 having seen praise of it, but I felt like the pacing was better too? Like there were less moments of characters standing around summarizing the cutscene we just saw, and instead more of them each having their own different priorities and takes on it. Hard to really prove that, though!

That being said, Krile and G’raha currently still feel a bit superfluous, a la Myths of the Realm (which I did not love). Unlike MotR where it felt like neither of them had an emotional connection to the plot, I’m hopeful the Preservation thread will allow Krile to have something to contribute and of course G’raha will have strong feelings about Shards and their civilizations. 

(I do wish G’raha got to talk to Sphene more about the whole “wake up in the dystopian future” thing they have in common. Given that Sphene now has the crown with Endless Sphene’s memories, though, I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up doing the exact same thing as Source!G’raha, choosing to take on the memories of her other self to become a continuation of both versions. Now that sure would be an interesting conversation to hear if they ever discussed it!)

What else…

I’m not really a fan of having the WoL shrug off a giant lightning strike. Even in EW, it felt goofy that the WoL’s combat prowess somehow made them immune to a shock collar. I get that this is a world where bullets and fireballs can somehow be nonlethal, but it’s one thing to see fantasy combat in gameplay and another to have blunt narrative confirmation that your character is apparently Superman.

Like, if Fordola did enough push ups, would the death collar have stopped working on her too? XD

As for our new villains...

Viktor Arcane, is that you?

More seriously, Simulant Sphene chewing the scenery was delightful, but I’m not quite sold on Calyx yet as an interesting villain. We already have plenty of tropey evil scientists mumbling about their calculations in FFXIV, so he needs something to set himself apart. I suspect that will come down to what his endgame is besides the “evolution of mankind” stuff. 

At the very least, though, I’m curious how long he (and/or Preservation) will stick around. The unique music during his introduction and noticeable Preservation logos all over his stuff makes me think we’ll be seeing a lot more of them. On the other hand, the fact that we’re immediately meeting the head/founder of Preservation and he’s also immediately laying out his goals doesn’t bode well for their longevity or mystery… but who knows?

Overall 

This feels like one of the stronger x.2 patches. In terms of structure, it’s very similar to 4.2 - we have an antagonist “returned” who both is and isn’t the same person as before, plus some dweeb with a bad haircut clearly setting up a bunch of traps for the WoL to walk into for x.3. 😛

Still, I’m quite invested now, and if the Stormblood comparisons keep holding, 7.3 is going to be a hell of a patch to look forward to!

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

so I’ve been trying to think of the best way to talk about Skuld’s fate for a while now and I think I’ve finally got it. My feelings about how she could be handled are a bit complicated (maybe even controversial? lol) but I hope I can make myself clear. This is essentially gonna be the post I point to whenever and if ever I need it later in the future. Thanks in advance if you read this!

If for whatever reason it’s confirmed that Skuld isn’t Subject χ and she gets together with Ephemer in canon (which I don’t believe will actually happen, but who knows), I do genuinely think there’d be something incredibly poetic about both of them leaving behind a legacy together.

Skuld as Subject χ is a super intriguing concept that I want to see get played out in canon, and even outside of that possibility, I would really love to just see her go on her own journey, have her own story where she can grapple with the events of khux in her own ways. But as someone who also happens to love her and Eph’s dynamic, I like to indulge in the possibility of them founding Scala together too.

Believe me when I say that I’m very skeptical of Skuld getting the credit and spotlight she deserves given the track record of how female characters are treated in this series. It would break my heart if Skuld got turned into an accessory or got shafted or worst case scenario, is used only to kickstart the Ephy lineage and nothing more outside of that. She deserves good, solid writing no matter what her fate is, I’m sure we can all agree on that at least.

And then there’s also the question of whether or not Nomura would ever establish a canon romantic relationship, and if he even should do that in the first place. I think it would be great, as long as it’s written in such a way that it doesn’t impede on the other types of relationships he’s already established. It could delve into some interesting new territory that can highlight the themes of kh, and make them even stronger and more profound. But you don’t absolutely need romance in order for that to be accomplished, ya feel?

Do I love Skuld and Eph together? Yes. Do I think they should be together (romantically) in canon? Not necessarily. You can both enjoy a ship AND recognize the nuances involved.

But anyway anywaaaaay, long disclaimers aside, these two characters have been through so much together…they witnessed two apocalypses. They’ve suffered the loss of a dear friend at their hands, along with their other friends as a result of horrible circumstances they had no control over. They stayed side by side as their home collapsed around and on them. But they also laughed together. They looked out for each other, stood up for each other. Encouraged and comforted and teased each other so they would smile.

From the very beginning, to the very end, they had each other over and over again. Clinging to hope with incredible resilience. From party members, to friends, to leaders. They’re both wonderful characters who I have no doubt would support each other throughout the rest of their lives, just as they always have.

I’ll be fine if a romance between them doesn’t become canon, in fact I’ll probably be pretty relieved. But I can’t deny that the idea of the two of them being entwined forever, bonded by the tragedies they’ve been through, yet also by all of their happy times and shared memories, is a beautiful thought to me.

Surviving to see the other side and building everything from the ground up again together, and seeing the legacy that follows their love, is a story worth telling, in my opinion. In the end, if that’s a story left to us fans to tell, that’s more than enough for me. We have so much to work with. Regardless of what Nomura and/or the rest of the writing team choose to do, I don’t need them to be a canon couple to enjoy the profound love and care they have for each other.

TL;DR - Whatever happens with Skuld, I’m down for the ride. As long as she’s present, period, I’m here for it. Just…please for the love of god, let her be written well. I miss her so much and I need all these years of loving her character to pay off

[catboygirljoker]

What do Lamia and Xigbar see in each other, personably speaking? Adding this second bit as a clarifier since I'm concerned that just the question alone may come off as snarky no-fun-allowed-ness when I'm genuinely interested. Love learning abt them btw it's like expanded universe lore to me

:3 !!!!!!!!!

"it's like expanded universe lore to me" is such high praise—thats really how i imagine lamias story! like the eventual fic is gonna be as canon-compliant as possible, at least until the end of the story in 3/ReMind—"this is what was happening just off camera left during the Kingdom Hearts™ series" sorta vibes. also similar in that the fic is definitely darker and more mature than the main KH games, but—hopefully—still feels like it could plausibly take place in the KH universe. anyway!

for Lamia, Xigbar is one of the few people he can safely unmask around. Lamia is autistic and has to put a concerted effort into not coming across as rude or mean to most people, but if he fucks up around Xigbar, Xigbar's just like "lmao tell me how you really feel" and doesnt take it personally. Xigbar is a confrontational asshole who breaks social rules on purpose, and Lamia finds him refreshing and easier to deal with than most people, even in the early stages of them knowing each other when their dynamic is still pretty adversarial.

as they get closer, Lamia finds that Xigbar is one of the few people who don't treat him with either revulsion or pity. like, Lamia's kind of off-putting to most people—partly because of the autism rudeness and general awkwardness, and partly because many people can sense the darkness in his heart and are unsettled by it, whether or not they know it's because of a curse and outside his control. even his own friends kinda treat him like a sick stray cat that they need to take care of or a project person they need to Fix. but Xigbar treats Lamia like a whole person, and doesn't coddle or belittle him. Lamia can trust Xigbar to not to try to override his agency or boundaries to help him—not something he can say about everyone!

and Xigbar sees Lamia as...a vision of goodness he can actually respect and understand. Xigbar recognizes that he and Lamia are very similar—they're both pragmatic, cynical, even at times ruthless; theyre not bright-eyed idealists, theyre not bleeding heart altruists. they're also both very traumatized lmao. Xigbar has been so worn down by his grand role that his personhood is down to emergency power, life support systems only—he cannot imagine living long after his mission is done, and fuck everything else besides. he kind of expects Lamia to be the same way, after all the shit they've been through. but somehow, Lamia still clings to some hope for the future in a shaking, white-knuckled fist. they have an understandable misanthropic streak, but they still try their best to treat people well, and still feel a basic moral imperative to care for and protect people.

Xigbar knows he cant write it off as just a cope or naivete. he has to recognize it as strength. it's a kind of strength he had, once—or at least a kind of strength he once tried to attain.

also like they each think the other is a smokeshow lmao. theyre really attracted to each other on a physical and personal level. the life affirming power of He Get My Penits Hord cannot be denied

Sukehiro and Ichika

I think I mentioned often enough that Yami is my favourite character in Black Clover. That’s why I was overwhelmed with joy when we stranded in Hino together with Asta and learned more about his past—and that he actually has a younger sister.

Ichika joined really fast the line of my all time favourites. Even though we still don’t know much about her, I found her character very interesting from the very beginning.

When we look at the sibling’s past we have so much to explore and I threw myself into theories and character analyses quickly after getting to know Ichika.

No surprise that my first fanfiction I wrote about Black Clover included her and the broken relationship to her brother.

While writing “Embrace of Darkness” we didn’t have the reunion between Yami and Ichika in the manga yet, so it was interesting for me to explore their emotions and actions in my story.

About a year ago I thus wrote a little prequel to celebrate my birthday. In my head they always had a very strong bond and Yami was the perfect, protective older brother while they both suffered under their father’s existence. I wondered what that might felt like. We got glimpses of it, but I also wanted to have more about it, that’s why I chose to write the sibling’s first meeting with Ryu (whom I also love a lot!).

I mentioned it in the notes of the story, but the residence of Ryu’s family was inspired by a temple I visited in Japan. It’s the Kodai-ji Temple in Kyoto, and if you ever have the chance to go there I highly recommend to visit this temple.

They were passing a large garden when they followed their guide over a veranda. Ichika pointed excitedly at a huge sakura tree in the middle of the garden, its long hanging branches full of blooming pink blossoms. Sukehiro’s attention was caught by something else, though. At a stone table in the shadows of some trees was a boy sitting and apparently studying. He seemed to be around his age, maybe about twelve years old. When he noticed their small group he looked up from his scrolls and eyed them with curiosity. Sukehiro just frowned and then concentrated himself on his way again. Why should he care about this boy anyway?

It was a lot of fun writing this little story and I wish there was more love about the Yami sibling’s relationship out there.

Reading their actual reunion in November brought tears to my eyes. Their dynamics are amazing and I wish we’ll get to see more of them.

Well; and as much as I love the relationship between the siblings, I also love Yami and Charlotte together. And that’s why I’m gifting myself a little story about them for my upcoming birthday. Let’s hope we’ll see more about those two as well in the future. ❤️

hm. thinking thoughts

under the cut for spoiler reasons:

this is literally just me writing stuff up in no real order so there is probably not all that much coherence to it. ah well

loved how unsettling it was having something wrong with the tardis! the tardis (in the tv show at least) is usually the one guaranteed safe place in any given dr who episode and so to have it suddenly a threat like that felt genuinely unnerving

the time window sequence was cool. really liked the fuzzy, there-but-not-quite-there visual effects

i also loved the monologue/prophecy/whatever, built things up very nicely and idk. i just vibed with it. i have more to say but the words are not coming to me right now

"and standing on high is the Mother and Father and Other of them all" i haven't even read lungbarrow but them saying "other" here immediately got my attention lmao

for an episode called "the legend of ruby sunday", it felt like (particularly in the last third of the story), there was remarkably little actual focus on ruby. while i do genuinely like her as a companion, i do feel like she's been one of the biggest casualties of the shift to a shorter series length with less time for "filler" episodes - we simply haven't had the time to get to know her on a deeper level, and i was hoping, given the title, that this story would do something to rectify that a bit. and then it didn't.

saying that, i did appreciate them giving her some more scenes with her mum this episode, i think she has a really nice dynamic with her family and we haven't seen enough of it since the christmas special imo

no trickster :( he got a mention at least but i was hoping he'd be the villain ngl

i have watched pyramids of mars once, four years ago, and barely remember the plot (my main memories of that episode are sarah with a gun ngl), probably going to have to rewatch it before next week. dailymotion you may have to be my saviour once again

not entirely sure how i feel about sutekh as the main villain. this is at least in part because my memories of pyramids of mars are hazy as anything, but i'm just... undecided. to its credit, the episode itself actually did a good job of getting me very excited about the reveal while i was watching, but as an overall thing? i don't know yet. i think i'm going to have to wait until i've watched the finale next week to form a full opinion

i reckon he must have hitched himself onto the tardis around/during "wild blue yonder" though - this is the first time where the tardis starts making The Noises, and is also the first time susan twist turns up, and that can't be a coincidence, especially given that, as previously established, it was likely fourteen's salt trick in this episode that let the toymaker back into the universe

i rewatched "the church on ruby road" earlier this week bc i figured it'd be a good shout and i hadn't watched it since broadcast, and during that i felt like mrs flood was maybe a "retired" companion, possibly a future companion (maybe of a future doctor) that we haven't met yet. after this ep though, i'm not so sure. she seems at least aware of sutekh in some way, and also seems potentially antagonistic, but i'm not sure she's actually directly linked to him. i'm fairly sure as well rtd said at some point she's more of a mystery for later series so. hm. it'll be interesting to see what more we get of her in part two

i can't shake the feeling that they are going to do something with susan further down the line. there have been more mentions of her in this series than in basically the rest of new who put together and i can't help but think that this must be for a reason even if susan twist wasn't her

anyway the real mystery for me: what is the vlinx. i have been thinking about this on and off since december. what is it. how did it get into unit to begin with. i need answers

[leejenowrld]

ok i just binged the entirety of part 7 and it’s 2 am and i haven’t class at 10 am but this is more important

1. did jeno keep in touch with his other friends while off abroad, pls tell me this guy has at least one positive relationship in his life?

2. i know the meta reason is because you hadn’t funnily planned out bty whilst writing lmb, but i think it’s really funny that areum just doesn’t give a shit about nabi so all the crazy stuff she did (the bar, joining cheer, her project) was not important enough to her to be mentioned in her pov. girlie only cares about mark and that’s so real lmao

3. i hope jeno’s fiancée is an asshole!! i don’t want to feel bad for her when he breaks off the engagement to get back with nabi.

4. i actually have such to say about the ending and nabi and jeno’s relationship but it’s wayyyy too long i’ll send another ask lmfao i’m sorry

so so excited to answer your asks and super happy you’re sharing this with me :)))

1. did jeno keep in touch with his other friends while off abroad?

you will absolutely see this unfold properly in the future arc, i promise you that, first of all, i didn’t get to explore the depth of jaemin and jeno’s friendship in the first seven parts as much as i would have liked (trust me, praying fingers crossed i can fit it into the post college arc arc the way it deserves lol), but it’s so important to me that it’s made clear: jeno and jaemin are, in a lot of ways, attached at the hip. despite the intense programme both jaemin and jeno are in now, despite how brutal and time-consuming and punishing it is, that thread between them never weakens, it never frays past recognition. they stay tight. the foundation between them is solid, and not just because of history, it’s because they understand each other in ways no one else does. i whole-heartedly, fully believe (and will stand by this as fact) that jeno is closer to jaemin than he is to mark. it’s just a truth of their friendship dynamic. mark and jeno have history and respect, they have layers, sure, obviously they share blood and don’t worry they’ll stay close in the future arc but for obvious reasons mark will feel stuck in the middle. anyways jaemin and jeno have depth that cuts differently. it’s unfiltered. it’s brutal honesty, the kind of relationship where jaemin has always been the one to say the things jeno doesn’t want to hear but desperately needs to, and jeno accepts it because he trusts him that much. it’s not surface-level. it’s not performative. it’s raw, it’s real, it’s home. for all the internal chaos jeno has brewing inside him, jaemin has always been one of the few constants that feels like safe ground. you’ll feel it, properly, in the future arc. i’ll make sure of it.

now, regarding his other friendships, this is where things start to get interesting. because remember: friendship is a two-way street. it always has been, it always will be. and not everyone will walk down that street with you when things fall apart. jeno will have positive relationships in his life, yes, you can count on that but you have to note that some of the boys in the actual team, the ones who were a little too close to y/n, will… let’s just say, it will get messy. they’ll start taking sides. lines will blur. allegiances will shift. it’s very human, isn’t it? when things crack, people reveal who they’re really loyal to. you’ll see fractures between the boys — not all of them, but enough to stir the pot. enough to complicate things. and it’s not clean-cut. it’s not like they fully abandon him, but tensions rise in ways that make every interaction sharp around the edges. awkward. unspoken feelings simmering beneath the surface. especially when you consider that these friendships were not just rooted in basketball, but in the whole tangled web of y/n and jeno’s relationship too. some of these boys genuinely liked y/n, some of them respected her deeply, and those loyalties don’t just disappear because jeno’s hurting. they linger. they fester. they complicate the way they see him. and when push comes to shove? well… let’s just say people reveal their true colours in the most unexpected ways. also i want to remind you guys all the characters will be all over the world, there’s three main locations — seoul, america (new york, seattle) and wherever areum is gonna be 😭😭 so a lot of these characters won’t cross paths as much as they used to lol.

2. areum not giving a shit about y/n and only caring about mark (so real lmao).

exactly. you’ve clocked it perfectly. you’re right lol. also y/n and areum were never close, not then, not ever (...👀💀) their lives only tangled out of pure circumstance, not because there was ever warmth or fondness between them. it’s almost comedic when you think about it, because you’re spot on: all the dramatic chaos y/n went through, all the pivotal moves she made in that timeline — from the bar to joining cheer, to the exposé, to even their shared project — none of it was ever significant enough in areum’s pov to warrant more than a passing thought. areum’s world has always, always orbited mark, and she’s unapologetic about it. she’s that girl. ruthless, narrowed focus, her entire narrative shrinks down to: does this involve mark? no? not my concern. it’s hilarious when you look at it from the outside, but in her mind, it’s just logical efficiency. areum doesn’t do side plots. she’s tunnel-visioned, and in that way, she’s one of the most honest characters in the entire cast. girlie said: i only play the games that win me the man, thanks. (but yeah you’re completely right i didn’t have bty planned as in depth during lmb LOL).

3. i hope jeno’s fiancée is an asshole so i don’t feel bad when he leaves her for y/n.

the truth is, it’s meant to mess with your head. you will get to know her, that’s all i’ll say. and it’s not as clean-cut as “evil fiancée” versus “true love.” you know how i write — you know i love making you feel frustrated, conflicted, dirty with your own sympathies. this is no different. i want you to question yourself. you will feel that discomfort and confusion because nothing about this story is easy. not the love, not the betrayal, not the loyalty. i want you to suffer deliciously, watching it unfold. she’s not a cartoon villain, and that’s all i’ll say for now. keep your eyes open. you’ll see.

excited to answer the rest !!!

[sxcret-garden]

4 & 23 for the meta writer asks please! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) (@igbylicious)

aaa thank you you two for sending something in!! i hope it's okay i put together your asks into one post for... obvious reasons :')

i'm doing okay, i hope you guys are doing well too!!! <3

23. What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

Not sure how far back into childhood I should go here, because i've literally been making up my own stories for as long as I can remember... so I think I'll go with the one that's stuck with me all the way until now! It's basically an original idea set in a dystopian future and follows a bunch of adolescents as they rise up against "the system" (yes I know that sounds awfully familiar to the ateez stans here but I had this idea back in like 2015 so if anything they stole from me-) and I did write the full story once but I'm really not happy with how it turned out, plus I want to make a bunch of changes to the story and the characters, so at one point I really hope I manage to write that whole thing again^^

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

(technically three people asked me about this now, so i'm very tempted to put three scenes here but.... i think the post will get way too long then ajskdfjödlask unless of course... someone asks nicely...? 👉👈 anyway, the scene is under the cut~)

“It can happen,” Yeosang assures you, while the alarm goes off, shaking the whole table as it vibrates, and Wooyoung immediately grabs it and gets up. You’re glad he’s at least being useful in that regard - otherwise you’re not sure why Yeosang brought his friend from an entirely different major along to your café date of hell.

“He insisted,” your teammate tells you upon posing your question. “Actually I don’t know why I brought him either.”

“Excuse me?!” Wooyoung exclaims in offense as he returns with your order, having heard his friend’s reply. But Yeosang is quick to wave it off.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” To your surprise his loud friend merely sits down while eyeing him with a doubtful expression, but he doesn’t say anything more to that. Finding yourself more fascinated than anything else by their dynamic, you shake your head eventually and redirect your attention to the screen in front of you. 

“I’ll send you the parts so we can go over them together,” you announce as you’re already dropping the files into your kakao chat with Yeosang, the familiar tone coming from the speakers of his laptop signaling an incoming message that tells you he received them quickly. Wooyoung leans in, nosily looking at the files his friend is opening.

“Looks good… if you ignore the formatting,” Yeosang shades, making you chuckle, and Wooyoung lets you hear a loud “Hey!”

“You didn’t do yours any better!” he teases Yeosang, attempting to pinch his side but his friend evades the attack. 

“Personal space,” he just remarks, pushing Wooyoung away with his flat palm against his cheek. Once again you find yourself fascinated by their cartoonish behaviour most of all, but you don’t comment on what just unfolded in front of your eyes. “And also, mine doesn’t look very interesting, but at least it has the correct formatting.”

“Yeah, this professor doesn’t really have an eye for aesthetics,” you add, grinning yet unhappy about the way the paper you were supposed to put together looks overly sterile. “But I guess that’s what science wants.”

“Well, the contents are what matters,” Yeosang adds, this time not defending himself when Wooyoung throws an arm around his shoulders, but you can tell he’s not happy about the pda. With curious eyes he leans in, skimming through the text on Yeosang’s screen, and you give him an annoyed sigh. You really just want to finish this damn project already, before it consumes any more of your nerves. 

“Oh. Sorry,” Wooyoung grins as he notices your distress, moving away from the computer as he straightens his back, and you’re not sure what to make of his reaction. Telling yourself to focus on the problem at hand instead of him, you begin pasting the text into one collective document, while Yeosang starts reading through everything in search of any possible errors.

“Looks good,” he eventually announces, and you agree, having joined him in proofreading everything. 

“You two sure are fast,” Wooyoung comments, and he shoots you a gaze filled with mischief.

“This is the tenth time we read through these, so…” you explain.

“I see… Yeosang here told me about how horrible the others were to work with,” the guy sitting next to your classmate continues.

“You’re also horrible to work with, and you’re not even a part of this,” Yeosang mutters under his breath, causing you to chuckle, and Wooyoung immediately complains.

not @ me putting a wall of text in here, but I'm just really proud of how the bickering between Yeosang and Wooyoung turned out here hehe plus it was a lot of fun to write too^^ this is probably still one of my fav scenes from this fic, and it doesn't even have the guy it's about in it :')

(this is from chapter 3 of my jongho fic btw^^)

[acacia-may]

Acacia, I shall be hitting you with a whole fruit salad.

I’m sorry but I do want to ask all of these. So please, take your time answering. 😅

🍒, 🍊, 🍑, 🍐, and 🍈?

Aww thank you so much, Erika! I really appreciate it. There's no need to apologize. I'd love to answer these for you. Thank you so much for sending them in. 🥰

🍒 What’s your favorite character dynamic to write? (Can be romantic or platonic, specific or general!)

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to you but I love to write brother relationships, especially in that sweet spot of they love each other deeply but the relationship between them is strained usually by external and/or internal forces and/or breakdowns in communication driving a wedge between them that makes it difficult to express how much they really care about each other. It's such a fascinating dynamic to me (I honestly don't know why, but I'm always so compelled by these kind of deeply loving but deeply broken relationships where you're looking at these fictional siblings and you just know how much they truly love each other but they just can't communicate that and can't overcome whatever it is that's tearing them apart.

(I'm going to ramble just a little bit here so please excuse me) For instance, you've got Finral and Langris who are driven apart by their own wounds & insecurities but also because they were pitted against each other by their parents and kind of had to see each other as adversaries in order to survive in their abusive home. Whereas Sanemi pushed his brother away to try to protect him and lashed out when Genya misunderstood and tried to prove himself by doing the exact thing his brother was trying to protect him from. Hero and Kel both pushed each other away because they were afraid of hurting each other. And don't even get me started about Kai and Sei because that is just... (I'm cutting myself off)

Anyway, the one underpinning thread here is that there is obviously real love between these siblings underneath all of that pain, strain, and brokeness in the relationship and therefore is a hope that they can overcome these obstacles and build a healthy bond with each other (whether that's again or, in some cases, for the first time). Even I have my limits though and there are some relationships that are clearly unhealthy and unsalvageable. When it's clear that their really is no mutual respect here and/or no potential for change or real love then I'm out. But those ones that are more nuanced where the relationship is just strained rather than permanently broken, I personally am very compelled by those and have a lot of hope of them being repaired. That's probably my favorite kind of relationship to write about.

I also love writing about platonic Male-Female friendships because I feel like those are criminally underrated.

🍊 Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

Gordon. I'm so sorry Gordon! He was honestly one of my favorite characters when I was watching and reading Black Clover, but he's just so hard for me to write that I've never really been able to do as much with him as I would've liked. I have half a story written from his POV for the Early Black Bulls Series but it was such a struggle that I just never finished it. I also considered making up an OC for him to marry in the future around the same time I was creating Lorelei for Henry (because he just seems like such a domestic type who'd be happy to settle down & have a family one day. Just such a loving Papa). But not a lot came of that. I name dropped his daughter (who is adopted) in one of my fics, but yeah...I really dropped the ball on poor Gordon. He deserves more love.

🍑 If you could make a connection between your favorite character and another work you care about (whether a crossover/fusion or a wonderfully “pretentious” literary reference) what would it be? How would it work?

My sister and I make jokes all the time about (a well-adjusted) Langris sort of "adopting" all the high-stress, overachieving perfectionist kiddos we tend to adopt ourselves from other media and becoming kind of father figure to them and trying to help them --convince them it's okay to have fun and that they don't have to be perfect all the time and try to "earn" love (usually with Finesse's help and/or by begging Vanessa to intervene because he has no idea what he's doing). And the kids really look up to him and think he's super cool. We call them the "Langris Squad." It's a little hard to explain but kind of wholesome in my mind.

🍐 Is there anything in canon that you absolutely hate and love to fix in fics? A wrong choice made, a fuck-up in characterization, a misunderstanding never cleared up, a conversation never shown onscreen, etc…

...that House Vaude Drama needs a resolution. I think especially for me (because I'm a biased Langris-sympathizer) something I always try to include in fics is just trying to kind of explain why in the world he is acting the way he is and is (weirdly enough) sort of helping Finral best him. It's strange from the outside (I have a lot of headcanons about it), so I really like to dive into Langris' emotions, thoughts, and motivations about what's going on there since it was really abrupt and glossed over in the actual canon. Also, again, I like to resolve this mess when I can. (Not always in the same way because there are multiple resolutions which would be fine, but I don't really care for the way it has been handled in the canon).

Another one that comes to mind is the aftermath of the Golden Dawn losing so much of their squad in the fight against Zenon. I know that was a while ago, but it still irks me that we didn't get to see a whole of them grieving and trying to rebuild. Yuno had a really great and heart-wrenching moment about it in the Spade Arc when he tapped into his grief to motivate him during his rematch against Zenon, but I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential there, especially for Mimosa who unlocks such a powerful healing ability that she could use to save other people during the Spade Arc but couldn't use to save her own squad mates. I can't imagine how hard that is for her, and I was actually so frustrated this got glossed over that I wrote a story about it called "For What It's Worth" which unfortunately I think was written in the time before Tumblr and never made it over here. Maybe I'll cross post it, if you (or anyone else is interested)?

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

From Black Clover, Langris. Hands down. He was not always (and I detested him at first), but he's definitely the character I find most interesting now. I just want him and Finral to repair their brotherly relationship so much! It's what I have wanted most out of Black Clover for a very long time. I also really enjoy his friendship with Yuno and especially with Lady Finesse.

I have way too many headcanons about him, but I think the biggest one that comes up the most and has the most bearing over how I write his character is that Langris loves so much more intensely and deeply than he is given credit for. He struggles to be vulnerable and doesn't open his heart to too many people, but when he does, he will love forever and will be willing to make great sacrifices for what is best for that person and what will make them happy.

My most strongly held Langris headcanon is that it is the love that he has for Finesse that has led him to try to help Finral take over House Vaude. I flip-flop a lot over whether it is a romantic or platonic love, but regardless, I am convinced that however you want to qualify that, Langris loves her and is so concerned with her happiness that he would willingly give up what's he has worked for his entire life, his sense of purpose, and, really, his own sense of identity (in a way) just in the off chance that Finesse would be happy. And even more than that...would be happy without him. This is not a sacrifice to get the girl. This is a purely selfless action. He knows if he does this, he will lose everything and they will never be together, but he doesn't care because what he wants more than all of that is for Finesse to be happy and he doesn't think he can be the one to make her happy, so that's why he counts himself out.

[movetonet]

movetonet hello just coming to say i LOVE the and then came june verse. You really got my ass with those two. It dead on embodies so many of my thoughts on the sidgeno dynamic. I am so glad you have the talent to express that! Eagerly stalking ur tags for tidbits on the potential threequel…

HELLO ANON THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! i read this last night over and over again before bed smiling like a loon 🩷 i do have a lot of feelings about these old men and i'm so happy it resonates with so many people!

come hither, and i will give you some insights into the threequel!! it's under the cut in case some people don't wanna read all my rambling thoughts, and be warned it's very much still in a planning/brainstorming stage lol

so, i decided to give the boys a little room to breathe after the second fic, thinking "oh surely nothing crazy will happen between now and the 4 nations face off tournament!" and then well. a lot of shit happened in the span of one month before said tournament lol. but i'm still thinking of zeroing in on this tournament. "4 nations, facing off...not your nation though, sorry geno your nation sucks!!!" but as i said, a lot happened and i was like oh man is this even the most interesting bit to tackle with these two?

and i'm thinking it is! hockey connects sid and geno and has for a long time and the question i'm thinking of answering (or at least having them grapple with) is: what is their relationship going to look like without that tether? what do they want out of this relationship? i'm still waiting for the outcome of the tournament of course (so swedes! or finns!) but that's what i'm thinking.

i'm also swirling the dad's trip around in my brain. i really don't have any interest writing a coming out story but...i'm thinking. more ties into what their hockey-less future would look like together! people would have to know! anyway yeah that's it lol. thank you so much for this sweet message hugs and kisses 🩷🩷🩷 i hope you enjoyed this messy insight!!

[aruanimess]

Asked this a few days ago, but you mentioned you were very busy at that time so I figured I'd try one more time, hope that's alright!

I've been thinking about Armin & Reiner lately, specifically after he finds out about Armin & Annie. I like the idea of Reiner being like Armin's big, teasing brother-in-law. Although if it's in canon that would have to be *after* the unholy amounts of tension that comes with seeing your little-sister figure dating the little bastard who indirectly/unwittingly killed your boyfriend. That said, I think he'd understand that Armin was just like them, and his actions are nearly the same as theirs; especially after finding out that Armin's grandpa was indirectly killed because of him too. They would eventually reach an understanding and have a silent mutual respect. I could see Annie maybe leaving the room for a while, and trying his best to be less of a stranger, Reiner asks about what Armin's reading, he's a bit surprised at his interest but happily obliges. Then Annie comes back to her boy enthusiastically info-dumping to Reiner, who's nodding and pretending he understands lol.

As for BECK, I don't imagine we'll be seeing them interact in a positive light anytime soon, so I'd like to hear some of your headcanons for them or little scenarios/interactions they might get into! Be it post-canon or in the future of BECK or whatever.

Hello, anon!

Um, I didn’t receive any ask so perhaps Tumblr ate it? It’s been eating likes and reblogs from my posts lately, making them invisible to me, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the same has been happening with asks as well. Anyway, I’m glad you chose to send another one because otherwise I might have never seen it.

Reiner and Armin have the potential to have an extremely rich and nuanced dynamic. Sadly, we don’t see them interact much at all in canon, but I truly believe that they can develop a quite complicated bond. Of course, as you mentioned, there’s the Bertolt issue that they’d have to get over, which would be by no means easy. I don’t think Reiner would blame Armin for Bert’s death though, even without being reminded that he’s personally responsible for upending Armin’s life in return. Post timeskip Reiner seems much more keen in (rightfully) holding himself accountable over how awful the Paradis operation went than doling out blame. Still, it’s a major hurdle to get over, and I can imagine him being awkward around Armin even if he doesn’t hate him for it. 

I love the idea of Reiner trying to reach out and establish a connection! Armin would probably be too apprehensive to make the first move. After all, Reiner might not blame him for what happened with Bertolt, but he blames HIMSELF for what happened with Bertolt. I’ve even written a small headcanon with this particular scenario and the potential challenges their relationship might face. 

Now in BECK, we see Reiner have this initial “older brother” instinct with Armin in Chapter 8, where the potential for an actual romantic relationship with Annie was almost unimaginable in his mind, but now that he’s aware that this is not the case… yeah, he’s not exactly ecstatic over it. The thing is I fully 100% believe that his frustration with their relationship (which we’re going to see more of in upcoming chapters) comes from a place of concern, for both Annie and Armin. He doesn’t see anything but pain in their future and he’s trying to prevent this from happening, which makes him come across as controlling. 

Even so, we will see that he still acts differently around Annie than he does around Armin. In his mind, Armin is a small innocent bean in need of protection (yes, this is incredibly condescending) not unlike his fave boy ever Bertolt, while Annie is a toughened Warrior who can hear it like it is. So… I wouldn’t completely write out the possibility of positive interactions between the two 😉

[magicstormfrostfire]

I'm in pain right now, and it's your fault. I'm reading Rose Drops, which is amazing, but I'm four chapters in and already on the verge of tears...

Anyways, I was wondering how you get inspiration for these fics? I love how you write and I just can't go without knowing the source of these wonderful ideas.

Lol sorry about that; honestly that's what I was hoping for though! Since that happens so early in the story, I wanted to show that that kind of thing happening isn't always 'the end' of a tale. It can lead to so much more.

As for inspiration....hm. Well, I've always been a storyteller; I used to make tons of comics in highschool and college, though I never showed them to anyone.

I can at the very least say that Rose Drops i wrote during a very difficult time in my life. I was homeless, couchsurfing, jobless, and my cat, who was my closest friend, died. there were so many things I was losing and leaving behind. Sonic has always been a comfort for me since I was a child, so I wrote a story about change and loss to cope with my own, and my hopes for a brighter future.

As for Blizzard Bedfellows, that one was a mix of talking to friends on Discord about Sonadow, and experimenting with the Boom universe for fun. Also i just really wanted to make a sonadow hibernation fic for the winter!

Equinox is sort of a mix of my fascination with vampires, werewolves, dark romance, blood and gore; stories I wrote a lot in highschool and are still fun. But I also thought Silver and Scourge would make an interesting dynamic and MAN do I enjoy writing them together. Equinox is a guilty pleasure in a way.

Lastly, Heavenly Bodies is from my Cardigan AU; where everyone is in their 30s-50s and just being cozy. I was inspired by Scragony's 'Vampire Husband' on webtoons. A comic about an immortal vampire and his elderly human wife. A very cute and cozy story. Sonic and Shadow kind of mimic that; an immortal hedgehog and his crunchy husband lol.

I have another idea mulling around in my head from a dream I had, which im tentatively calling Fractured AU. though nothing is concrete yet. Essentially Sonic Shadow and Silver go missing, and pieces of their personalities are copied and split and/or fused into sentient beings. Amy and the others try to find all the copies to solve the mystery of the hedgehog's disappearances.

And a Host Club AU that I made 2 years ago, thay is REALLY not put together beyond a rough draft lmao (it was originally a template for a Silver/Scourge fic, but I ended up going the Werehog route and made Equinox) the host club AU is technically centered around BlazeAmy, Sonilver, and Scourge/Vanilla, among other ships I like...but its so rough, man. I dont even talk about it because its not a full idea lol

In any case, im rambling, but I thought id that the opportunity to talk about all my ideas since you asked! It also gives a rough frame of things im working on for the future too. I hope you have fun reading Rose Drops! ^.^
