#anyways i am really committing to the bit for this fic so feel free to check it out i am spending too much time on it lol

[noheteroexplanation]

I am re-reading the Dance section of Fire & Blood to do research for my Rhaenicent fic and I noticed a cool rhaenicent parallel, so I thought I'd share.

Both Alicent and Rhaenyra are introduced into the story within a few pages of each other and both of them are given the same (main) descriptor, namely precocious.

Why that is, who knows really, just thought it was neat (if probably coincidental, but who knows with grrm.)

[ao3-oner]

Hello, a fellow JDG fan here also deeply mourning the loss against WBG...(it was so close too, damn. BTW i strongly believe that if the meta had been hyper-carry ADC JDG would have made worlds) and as much as i think it’s a shame that the WKFA series is getting discontinued, i’m just gonna say i think it’s good that you’re not forcing yourself to write things you’re not interested in! Plus i will eat up every fic you write anyway lol so keep up the good work

However i’m probably not the only one curious about what the fic might have been, so could you tell us a bit about your ideas/brainrot scenes(If you’re comfortable and willing to share of course)? I read the scene you posted on ao3 and i’m guessing the context is that siwoo hooked up with jaehyuk and then got kicked out and spent the night at jinhyuk’s room. I hadn't expected that siwoo would have had a... thing? with kanavi too but could you tell us a little more about that? And also I’m especially curious about what kind of ending RuLehends would have gotten at the end of the fic, happy/sad/ambiguous?

Wow this is a barrage of questions, so please feel free to ignore stuff(or this entire ask) if you don’t feel like answering. Have a good day!

Hi, and thanks for the ask!

Like I said in my longer update post, I am more than happy to talk about what some of my ideas for what the Worlds fic could have been, including further context for the scene that I did end up writing - in fact, after posting that one scene, I found myself thinking "I really could just write the scene right before that one... and maybe the one before that... and maybe-" until I realized at that rate I would just be writing the entire fic inside out lmao

But yeah, let's start with KanHends! My main foundation for their relationship is a quote from Kanavi where he said he considered himself to be good friends with both Chovy and Lehends from their (few) Griffin days together. As for Kanavi and Lehends's sexual history together, it wasn't so much of a 'thing' as a one night stand, which was actually was going to be a part of the vihends plotline:

My hc for this subplot was that when Viper and Lehends first started working together on Griffin, there were feelings there and so they started hooking up and Viper wanted them to be exclusive. Lehends... didn't really want that level of commitment, at least not yet, but rather than talking about his feelings like a normal, healthy person, he decided to resolve the issue by sleeping his way through the rest of the Griffin roster, leading us to this exchange:

Past! Jinhyuk: "We shouldn't. I mean, you're Dohyun's..."

Past! Siwoo: "Dohyun's... what?"

Past! Jinhyuk: "I dunno. You're Dohyun's something."

Past! Siwoo: "That's the thing, Jin: I'm not his anything. I'm not 'his' at all, and that means we can do whatever the fuck we want. So, are you in?"

Dohyun finds out, of course, and is absolutely heartbroken because he thought he and Siwoo had an understanding. Siwoo explains that he's happy to keep his situationship with Dohyun as long as it remains exactly that: no strings attached. Jinhyuk is honestly kind of pissed that Siwoo essentially used him as a means to set boundaries with Dohyun, but lets it slide because he did know what he was signing up for and he still generally likes Siwoo plus the sex was really good so

That whole past interaction was going to feed into Jinhyuk being honestly worried about Dohyun's well-being going into Worlds, because based on what he's heard from both Jaehyuk and Jihoon, it certainly doesn't sound like Siwoo's gotten his shit together. Even if Siwoo claims he's now ready for a committed relationship with Dohyun, Jin is pressing X to doubt. That, plus Jinhyuk still feeling slightly guilty for interfering with their relationship all those years ago, was going to incentivize Jinhyuk to talk to Dohyun at Worlds about his relationship with Siwoo, with his goal being to try to prevent his friend from getting his heart broken all over again. Oh, Kanavi plotline my beloved... Have I mentioned how much I love Jinhyuk? Because I really do.

On another note, Jaehyuk's quip about "the best night of [Jin's] life" in the scene that I wrote out was also a reference to this backstory: Jaehyuk didn't know about Jin and Siwoo's fling until Worlds where Jin mentions it in the context of a different discussion about Siwoo’s escapades, something along the lines of the exasperated declaration, "Yes, we've fucked! Best night of my fucking life! But that only shows how none of this means shit to Siwoo! That's just what he does. That's just who he is." Jaehyuk was honestly pretty shocked to hear that, but didn't get too snippy about it until he saw Siwoo walking out of Jinhyuk's hotel room and kissing him...

Speaking of, you've hit the context of the stand-alone scene squarely on the head, so I'm glad to hear that the key points came across okay. What happened the night before that scene consisted of some very messy sex between Jaehyuk and Siwoo, followed by Jaehyuk ordering Siwoo to get out of his room. I like that scene a lot - very hot, very angsty - so I won't share too many details until I'm more certain that I'm not gonna fully write it out. But yeah, it ends with Siwoo in tears outside of Jaehyuk's door, pounding on it until Jin comes out to see what all the noise is about, takes one look at Siwoo all fucked and bitten and sobbing, then says something along the lines of "For fuck's sake, you two..." and drags Siwoo into his room. They just sleep, of course. Siwoo just needed someone to hold him after that, and #Kanavi'sAGoodFriend.

As for your question about what ending RuLehends had in store for them... Since the full fic isn't going to be written, I honestly think it's better for you to decide that for yourself. What even constitutes a happy ending for them? Are they together? Apart? Does Siwoo end up with Dohyun instead? I think all my readers can decide what they think should happen, or what they want to happen, and mentally sub that in for 'canon'. At this point, I rescind my right to make a call about the ending either way. Maybe Singed from the hit game League of Legends shows up in the real world at the very end, flings Siwoo over his shoulder and sprints off into the distance? Idk. Have fun with it!

As always, don't worry about asking me things regardless of how long or short they are - I am happy to be yappy. You have a great day, too, wherever you are, and I hope to hear from you again!

So I watched Hazbin Hotel and I was enraptured by it all. I thought my favorite character was gonna be Angel Dust, but the single moment Lucifer came on and sang, Goodbess Gracious!

Never before had I thought of any character as a DILF but Lucifer 🤤

Now I as I am apparently known for is giving good ideas for fics, sometimes writing them and then never finishing them. I do have an idea for a LuciferxOFC. I will give it in a moment, but I do want to get something out of the way first. If you would like to take this up but don’t want to exclude me in anyway, I won’t mind doing a role play as my own character with you and use that in your story.

Idea

Lucifer thought all sinners were destructive and distasteful. We know that. So what if on the day of the first episode a girl who was held captive all her life committed a sin? Being forced to do drugs, sex, and anything that didn’t invoke hurting or killing another human.

As much as she was innocent in the way that mattered, not using her freewill to do these acts, the fact is Sera didn’t want her around. Sera believed she had enough free will to stop it all before she allowed the other humans to kill her.

Now sent to Hell, directly in front of the Hotel after the angel raid, the human sat in front of the doors. Angel Dust is the one to open the door to leave for work, when she fell into his legs. Angel took her by her ratty dress and plopped the panicking sinner in front of Charlie.

Charlie having reassured the new sinner she would help her however she could. She even went as far as to name the sinner Apple Ruby.

“Well, what do you like?”

“Ruby red apples…”

“Ooohhh,” a huge excited smile split Charlie’s face, “why don’t we call you Apple Ruby?”

“…Kay…”

From then on, Apple (only Charlie calls her Apple as everyone else calls her Ruby) clings behind Charlie until she followed A cat around the hotel the day Lucifer comes after Charlie asks for help. Usually, she was very attentive to her surroundings, but she got comfortable with everyone who was around the hotel enough to allow her guard to go down. Chasing KeeKee trying to get her glove back from the playful cat, she bumped into the back of Lucifer’s legs with her head.

When he would turn around to look at the smallest sinner he has seen, she began to shake so much in fear of a new male in her space. So frightened she ran to hide behind Charlie, who was still hugging her father. She only came up to Charlie’s shoulder he would notice.

“Awe, I forgot to tell you my father was coming Apple. I’m so sorry.”

“Apple?” -Lucifer

“Oh, she didn’t know her own name when she came to Hell, so we gave her the name Apple Ruby since she loves Ruby red apples.”

“Why is she cowering?”

“I don’t really know..”

Angel Dust would make it known she was terrified of Lucifer since she didn’t know him. “If you wanted to hang around more to get her to not-“

“No. I don’t want Apple feeling like she is being forced to make friends with someone she is terrified with. She isn’t like normal sinners, she is so quiet and meek, refusing to do anything that is considered bad.”

Lucifer would create a sweet red apple from his hands before offering it to the hidden sinner. He would notice he is taller than her by a few inches.“I don’t mind, especially since if I am going to support your dream, then I should try to be around more sinners.”

Over time, Ruby became less terrified of Lucifer. Often asking Charlie everyday if her dad was coming, frustrating her a bit with the repetitive question that she just gave her father’s cell number to the small sinner. The relationship between Ruby and Lucifer grew to the point she was visiting Morningstar Manor to play with the rubber ducks Lucifer had created, as well as play with Lucifer himself.

Lucifer’s depression slowly subsided with Ruby’s presence and quiet nature that he began to feel more like his old self.

First of all, thank you so much for all you do! Your work has gotten me through a really rough few weeks dealing with the first anniversary of my mom's death. I'm so excited every time I get an ao3 notification for one of your stories. ❤️

Also I'm a huge Buffy fan and your Ascended Astarion has such presouled-but-in-love-with-buffy Spike vibes I love it. Especially his not understanding why his super romantic gestures of murder and abduction are not working on the object of his affections. I love how frustrated and baffled Astarion is by Rose's refusals. "These things are the *height* of vampire wooing? how's she not swooning?? She must be playing hard to get."

Also every time they get into a physical altercation, it absolutely feels like it may end in building destroying sex. 😏

I did have a question about Astarion's expectations about Rose (which feel free not to answer if its spoilers or you dont feel like it). I know he dumped her after she wouldn't be turned by him post ritual but it seems like he's definitely spent years getting things ready to have her living with him since then with the custom bedrooms and the rose gardens. Did he expect her to come back on her own since then? even after telling her he basically wanted nothing to do with her?

Anyway this was long �� but thanks again for sharing your talent and imagination with us. good luck with your surgery! ❤️

Hello anon, thank you so much for messaging me. I use fic writing as a mental health lifeline (and guess what! I have also bereaved a parent in my time!) so I'm glad I can pay that comfort forward to you and anyone else, in some small form. I hope the anniversary and any related feelings that come up pass smoothly.

(also, Ascendent/Spike parallels are such a call out at the particular moment I am in drafting. I think my approach to souls in D&D is very coloured by what meaning they hold in BtVS).

To your question! I'll try to answer as best I can.

The initial reaction and break up is obvious dictated a little by canon, but in my version of events, it's also coloured by the violent/traumatic nature of the Ascendent's 'birth'. On the one hand, Ascended!Astarion is drunk on power and his first real sense of freedom, but on the other, it has come at a dramatic and awful cost that everyone around him witnessed and cannot deny. Also, not to spoil, but I have aligned my reading of the events with the fanon interpretation that a romanced Astarion justifies his desire for Ascendency through Tav, or fear of losing that relationship. So Rose's initial rejection causes a lot of anger and deliberate cruelty, because of the confusion and pain behind it: he did the Rite, partly for her, Rosalie watched him do the Rite and didn't stop him, and now? she's suddenly having second thoughts? When it's irreversible? When he's stuck here, now? And she refuses keep him company?

The anger and pain around that was real, I believe, and causes him to lash out. Hence, the break-up. Much with the way I write the Ascendent in all guises, he does an extremely stupid thing, then commits to the bit and doubles down. Oh, he's dumped her now? He kind of didn't mean to do that, but now he can't be desperate and take it back, so he has to lean in and pretend that was what intended to do all along, etc.

Then she leaves for real? Well, fuck her. He didn't need her anyway - that's why he dumped her, after all. Nothing to do with the trauma, or his mistakes. So then, he commits to the bit, twicefold. He leans in further. Starts to perform the exact life he'd said he'd have without her. Gets new friends, new lovers, an underground network of power, etc. That takes a few years.

Oh. Wait. Why does none of this feel good? Why does it all feel awful???Must be because his girlfriend, the one he did this all for, isn't here (and who's fault was that again? by this point, he's forgotten).

But pride is still a major factor in the way the Ascendent conducts himself, and he can't go to her - he can't look desperate, or unhappy, or like he regrets his decisions. I've used this in a justification of why he never sought her out in places he couldn't pretend he found her by chance, even though he can smell her blood and knows she goes to Waterdeep - he can't be the one to go to her. And she must be miserable, right? He is. So he starts to engineer things for her return, because she'll be the one to cave first, and besides, he's got eternity anyway. He's so patient (lol).

And then, inevitably, when Rosalie continues living her life avoiding him, he's like "welp. I can't go to her (pride), and she isn't coming to me. Time to make her come to me (murderous intent)" and that's how he kills a ballroom full of people. He genuinely thinks what's keeping them apart is the distance, not the element of choice (because. um. we've seen what he thinks of free will). He believes that once they're in the same room together, it'll be impossible for her to resist. He can charm her. He did it once before. And he's not sad or conflicted about it this time. And he's the same person, right?

[author laughs in REDACTED]

So basically, his expectation of Rose was that she would be the one to break first. They both love each other, and she's a nice person. She's the bleeding heart. She's the one who was seduced the first time round.

When none of that happens, he decides to engineer the same set of circumstances in a lab, assuming that forcing her into returning will have the same outcome as her choosing to return (you may notice a pattern of behaviour emerging). So once the Ascendent has created forced proximity and given himself the chance to seduce Tav all over again, he's certain he'll win, because he knows the playbook, and it worked on them, and since he Ascended he's had proof it works on everyone else.

But unfortunately, a successful romance in this scenario relies on Ascended!Astarion not being awful, for 5 minutes which... um.... he hasn't achieved once in this fic, not once.

[johnslittlespoon]

HI I'M ALIVE i swear this is a pattern at this point, i post a new fic/chapter and disappear for a phat day (or two) lmaoo i literally get The Fear and i have to avoid notifs/comments for a bit <33

that being said, wept reading the comments on TAS, i'm so so thankful y'all are vibing with it because i was NERVOUS about posting my first ever modern au and i wanted to make sure it still felt true to the characters but everyone's been so unbelievably kind i'm so wahhahhhh :')) i appreciate the sweet words SO so much, it's so reassuring and so motivating <33

so motivating actually that i'm already halfway done ch2... whoops? litch rally buzzing with how excited i am to write, i don't think i've ever experienced this which sounds strange but like. okay hold i can already tell i'm gonna go on a tangent so let me cut myself off with a read more lmaoo

idk, does anyone else ever sometimes feel like even though obviously we all write fic for enjoyment because we do it for free, sometimes it feels like a chore? not in the sense that i feel obligated to write, but just that even though i feel passionately about what i want to write, it's just hard to get my brain into gear (adhd aside) even when i really want to. i'm just thinking out loudddd now but my concerta just kicked in so it's inevitable LOL word vomit and thought processing is apparently a necessary part of my writing process smh

writing yad(iym) has honestly been so helpful with this because one of the biggest things that i struggle with when writing is that i have a super vivid imagination and can picture exactly what i want to portray/convey, but sometimes i don't know how to get there, but with the dog coded fic i have the timeline of the actual show to follow, so it takes a lot of pressure off in that sense! it's sorta like filling in the gaps because i have something base level to work with.

but 99% of the time when writing, i don't have that, so i end up avoiding my docs often because i feel stuck in terms of progressing the storyline, and my writing process drags on so longgg. i'm finding too now that i'm writing my first (and second oops) actual long fic that oneshots are actually more difficult for me to finish for some reason despite most of mine being shorter than a singular chapter in my fics, which is funny because i was so terrified of commitment starting a chaptered fic but i've ended up being more consistent.

anyway point is, i adore writing yad(iym) and it's been the most fun experience i've had fic writing, but now that i've sorted out the world building aspects for tough and sweet, everything is just flowing and instead of having to sit myself down at my desk and kinda just force myself into the zone, i cannot drag myself out of my docs?? and i've never had that happen but i'm definitely trying to take advantage of it while it lasts and get as much written as possible!

i think it also helps that it's so lighthearted compared to the angst of yadiym (tho i've got some angst planned for tas too lol sry) so i don't have to think as much about the weight behind certain dialogue, or carefully plan out the progression of the relationship dynamic the way the time period/setting of yadiym requires. it's a nice breather from the constraints of the mota–verse (as much as it's still my favourite thing to read/write with these boys), but i also enjoy getting to sink back into that doc when i want something deeper than the little biker boys.

i'm still very much working away on yadiym tho to be clear!! i was scared to start tas before i finished it in case i hyperfixated on tas and my updates got slow on yadiym, but it's genuinely helped me find a balance because i'm always working on one if i'm not working on the other <3 i'm about half done ch6 too for yadiym (how many times can i type that in one post jfc), i'm just at an internal emotions heavy part which i Hate. writing lmaooo give me dialogue or smut and i can type away for hrs but introspection?? internal conflict? hell

ok that's all my fic related rambling thank uuuu/apologies if u sat thru all of that LOL lmk if your writing process/mindset is similar or not bc i'm always curious about how other people's brains work with this stuff!! also how does one get over feeling obnoxious about rambling on their own acc like. this is my acc. i could post 100 times a day if i wanted. i need to Relax good god

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls: 2/18 ("Back in The Saddle") Part 4 (the DALA has sunk to frightening new lows)

Lorelai has arrived home after a hard day of hardly working to find Dean Forrester in front of her house, washing Rory's car. I look forward to a completely appropriate response! Lorelai hesitated to let Jess perform agreed-upon-in-advance home labor for her (slopping her gutters). Imagine if it was Jess and not Dean who showed up at her home one day totally unannounced and started like, raking her leaves, and he said he was just waiting for Rory to get home and then tried to explain to Lorelai how during Autumn, leaves fall to the ground and they need to be collected. He would meet the business end of that rake.

Totally normal stuff. No one ever warns you that Gilmore Girls is actually a bloodless horror movie.

SHE IS FUCKING SMILING AT HIM. DO YOU SEE THIS?! DO YOU?

Dean: Ya know, sometimes things get on your car. Like dirt or sap, which can get into the paint, and then it's really hard to get off. Even water spots. After it rains, they can be a real problem. Stop it Dean, you know you make Lorelai SO horny when you talk like that. I didn't hear anyone ask you to recite an entry from Butthead Wikipedia.

REWIND THE TAPE, FREDERICK! Let's kick it back to Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Back In the Saddle, Part 3:

For anyone having trouble keeping up with the class, what just happened here was that with no recall of precisely what she would say, yesterday I jokingly predicted that Lorelai would offer Dean milk and cookies when she found him outside her house stalking Rory instead of turning him into future dog food for Paul Anka, like she would if Jess pulled the same stunt. I got the specific beverage wrong (milk vs soda) but she gently offered him a beverage and a flirty smile and that's what counts. I know her behavior is so fucking predictable at this point, but I feel like I should get some sort of prize for that one. When Dean refuses the refreshing beverage, Lorelai uses her womanly ways to entice Dean into the house anyway. To have a nice little chat in the kitchen. Huh, what is that weird sense of dejavu I'm feeling? Two places where nothing good ever happens: Lorelai Gilmore's kitchen table, and her couch (especialy at night), which is where Lorelai tends to give Rory the worstest of the worst advice/ pep talks.

Hold your horses, Lor. There will be time for playing with his squirty thing later. The front yard is not the place for it. What are you, a fucking animal? He refuses to stop washing the car, which is weird, because he's not one to turn down Lorelai's seduction attempts.

What is even happening? I went into BITS thinking this episode was 100% Certified Dean Free Filler. I miss the Lunchbox Gang.

Take it away, Lorelai!

Dean really said "I'm sorry if my showing up unannounced to your home and washing your daughter's car was a bit of a bother. If that doesn't work for you, I can just stalk her from the porch instead." and this bish really just responded with "That's a sweet offer honeybuns, but she's got schoolwork to do." "Dean, my daughter's not home, why don't you put down your big squirty hose and come into the kitchen for a drink." "Sure things Ms. Gilmore." Where have I seen this porno before? More likely a fic by a highly disturbed individual which should have 18 million trigger warnings. I will not DARE check if someone has written Dean and Lorelai smut. Looking ahead, this kitchen table talk is going to go on a LONG time. I don't have to be Miss Cleo to predict that she's going to give Dean a gentle talk that does not properly address his stalking whatsoever.

God damn Lorelai, just commit a light felony and fuck him already. Get it out of your system so we can move on. At this point I don't even think she'd care if she went to jail and Rory went into a nice foster home or had to go live with Crustypher if it meant she got some sweet DeanMeat. I am in hell and I am sorry for the DeanMeat comment. While Lorelai is in jail, maybe Babette and Morey could adopt Rory. Doesn't that sound nice Rory? A nice childless couple. And kittens! Yeah, it sure does.

A quick Google search confirms the following information about body language: "When women tuck their hair behind their ear, it can be an expression of flirting, openness and interest." Dean looks so uncomfortable, like he wants to crawl out of his own skin (wah wah wah) but I'm not sure if he's more weirded out by Lorelai's overt sexual advances or by the feeling of the vortex that starts swirling when you have two people this fucking crazy sharing the same room, no less sitting so close to each other as Lorelai plays footsie with him under the table. The ol ShitTornado, as I call it.

Dean's excuse for his absolutely appalling behavior is more or less as follows: "I didn't know Rory wasn't home, Lorelai. It's like, she's some independent person with a mind of her own who doesn't feel obligated to tell me where she is at all times so I can stalk her correctly. If she would only give me a printed itinerary of where she is at every minute of every day, I swear I wouldn't have come over. What can I do, lover?"

The most terrifying 8 words that could ever come out of Lorelai Gilmore's mouth.

There is only so much I can take in a day so you'll have to wait for part 5 to hear her "Advice". Ciao,

*KICKS DOWN YOUR DOOR*

WHY HELLO THERE I HAVE COME HERE TO DAY TO ANALYSE A CERTAIN PIECE OF YOUR WRITING

Lets begin:

---

Oh, how his mind drags him on, teaching him the steps to a dance he already knows, but loathes all the same.

“KC!”

Eclipse stiffens for the hundredth time today, eyes growing wider the deeper he falls into the memory.

“KC! YOU CAN’T LET THEM DO THIS!!”

His systems begin to overheat, vents coming in quick, short intervals that do nothing to prevent his impending panic.

“IT WASN’T MY FAULT!”

He doesn’t hear the door click softly open, doesn’t hear the footsteps that approach him.

“Let him go.”

A hand reaches out to him, hesitating to touch his shaking shoulder.

“LET HIM GO!”

---

SO THIS. LETS TALK ABOUT THIS.

My first thought? This was the point when Eclipse was being taken away to be decommissioned.

Clearly this happens after the Big Incident (i'm assuming Eclipse was blamed for a child or persons death) and the final two lines (Let him go) were spoken by KC who at the last minute chose to try and reach out to save Eclipse.

NOW THIS RAISES ANOTHER QUESTION - did KC believe also that Eclipse had commited a terrible sin, or was it holding back from interfering because of fear for its own existence? Maybe simply shock? Stuck in a state of processing that didn't quite click until he realised they were taking his son away to be literally killed?

When KC menrions Eclipse being stuck in that room (maybe the same room Eclipse had such panic over in the first fic?) was that room the same one Eclipse had been confined in before being inevitably decomissioned?

ALSO if i'm not mistaken, KC is the reason Eclipse managed to survive right? My guess is he was too late to stop Eclipse's chip from being pulled but he mayhaps did a murder of the humans and somehow managed to recover Eclipse's AI (either via backup or restoration from lingering code that survived)

I HAVE SO MUCH BRAIN WORMS OVER THESE TWO ASHDFS anyways that's my thoughts for now i'm gonna go back to reading your drabbles and fics so i'll be back if i get any more wormys ;D

(Side note: someone should 100% get Eclipse a toy wolf it would be very fun to see how he reacts to that - also did mr howls survive? Imagine if maybe Rays finds it during one of his raids in a storage room/lost and found ashdj or maybe he finds a different plush that is similar! BUT THEN AGAIN maybe KC still has the original somewhere himself? WHO KNOWS!)

DING DING DING WINNER

I’ll answer these to the best of my abilities without spoiling too much :)

Q: Did KC believe Eclipse was at fault for The Incident?

A: For a while, yes. It struggled to find evidence that proved Eclipse innocent, and since it abides mainly by logic it didn’t really have any reason to assume the best of Eclipse, despite being his father.

Q: Was the room KC mentioned the room Eclipse was placed in prior to his decommissioning?

A: Yes. That was the room.

Q: Was KC the reason Eclipse survived?

A: Yes. It made it in time to hold him as his physical body shut down :( he then grabbed the remnants of Eclipse’s chip and scampered away.

Q: Did Mr. Howls survive?

A: YES! Mr. Howls is still intact, if a bit worn. KC has him and makes sure that the fabric doesn’t deteriorate too fast since it’s such a yucky room that it stays in.

I AM SO GLAD MY BRAIN-WORMS ARE CONTAGIOUS <33 they have AT LEAST 60% of my brain rn

Also, if you or anyone else finds other dialogue prompts, or perhaps makes a few, even, feel free to request them with either past or present KC and Eclipse! I will write so much for these two right now istg

⭐️ End of year questions ⭐️

Thank you to @mekana47 for tagging me in. I was feeling a little down-in-the-dumps since I haven't written a lot (arbitrary I know, but compared to the last few years), but these questions were nice and turns out I am proud of what I've done.

Tagging in @ongreenergrasses @strangesmallbard @melodious-madrigals @aphroditestummyrolls @lttrsfrmlnrrgby if you want to play and anyone else who has been writing and arting and crafting!

What is your favourite thing you created?

the ties that bind us - my first fic of the year and a fun splash around in magic realism in the world of The English where Cornelian Whipp sees threads of destiny and we follow as she finds love and revenge. There was a lot in the show’s costume design and fashion at the time that I got to read around but it was really sparked by Emily Blunt's delivery on her lines about there being magic.

Which work are you proudest of?

I try to sing a melody (your way) - a Piranesi fic in the voice of the House. I wanted to play with a setting-voice for a long time and the House was the perfect sandbox and I got to walk a few more halls and staircases before reaching the roof to look down on all its infinite kindness

Is there anything you are proud of that you achieved this year?

love, the armour saints wear - this one is a Grishaverse fic. Genya is a fascinating character and this is where I got to put the young Tailor under a microscope and explore her as the asset others view her as. As a treat I also threw in a splash of the ongoing tussle between the verse's most dysfunctional mother and son. Baghra is hilariously fun to write.

Did you explore anything new this year? (A new way to be creative, a trope you didn’t write before, or an idea you hadn’t thought of earlier, etc.)

I committed to submitting an original short story to a lit magazine (which has now shut down). Touch Of The Sun was a coming-of-age sci-fi about a young girl Asha and life living underground on a sun-scorched Earth. It was fun to write for a different purpose, but now I'm not too sure what to do with it. I will be writing more original pieces though.

Which work gave you the most difficulty?

keep me searching for a heart of gold - La'an, oh La'an, you know sometimes you come across a character you share a little facet of personality with, or more than a few? Anyway, this has stalled a little both because of its angst and also because of writer's block, so I guess we're both in this time loop.

What was your biggest creative challenge this year?

Boring, but I've not been well so trying to find some free time to sit down where I have motivation and energy to write has been The Challenge. It's meant I've had to change my habits (easier than I thought) and also try to be kinder to myself about not-writing (harder than it should be).

Which work brought you the most joy?

we can't keep meeting like this - funnily enough, it's a bit of a mirror to I will share your road, the Andy and The Doctor fic I wrote a while back, in that she repeatedly meets another long-lived acquaintance… Death. Bashed this one out fairly quick and I like the way I wrote their recognition-to-friendship. It was also fun plotting out their meeting points across time and a map.

Which of your works do you think people should check out?

Anything you want! The mix of fandoms and genres and concepts continues to grow.

Do you have creative plans for next year? Is there anything exciting you’re currently working on?

I have two upcoming fics in my Genya the Firebird series. One is the multichaptered story and a twist on the Firebird tale, and the second is a tooth rottingly sweet but angsty one shot. I want to write the first draft in full before I post anything which is why it may be some more months.

Lastly, any words of wisdom or anything else you would like to share?

Nothing revelatory but 3 things that have helped me this year…

1) If you're not happy with your writing or fic goals, change them!

2) If you want to write something, write it because your first audience is you!

3) If there's a story type or a trope that you enjoy, remember you're never limited to writing it once!

Happy New Year and hope 2024 brings you much enjoyment for whatever you're working on! 💜💜💜

☔️--for the emono game you reblogged!

Oh you definitely have some sort of ability for knowing when I've got secrets!

Ok so I've had another ask with this emoji but I drafted this answer first, so prepare for a wildly different tone haha. Most of my ideas are ones that I fully intend to write at some point, but there are a few where I am holding off on fully committing. I have at least two that have been concepts for about a year. I've even written prose for them. Wait, no...there's also third I've written which is, er, basically finished. But (like the others) unless I get a lot braver I don't know if I could ever complete and post it without feeling like I could never look any of you in the virtual eye ever again.

Essentially I've got smut fic ideas hidden away in my drafts folder because my goodness did I really come up with that?! I can read anything without even blinking, but writing and posting? Not quite there yet!

Though really it's not just smut, but also fics that have a much darker tone than what I usually write. I'll talk about the one that is most fleshed out (and the most likely to be written while still being one I'm very unsure of). It's really two ideas because I have another version that might just end up being the set up for the fic but anyway! This is currently the title/description that's sitting at the top of the prose I have:

Lawfully Bound - The one where Dream ends up bound to the Corinthian by magical law but it's nowhere near the easy advantage he’d expected.

You can probably relate to this with the Ella Enchanted au you're writing because I know that fic has a darker tone too. This would be Corintheus but with some very unbalanced power dynamics, and for me that's very hard to get right in a way that I (personally) find satisfying. Playing with the idea of one character having essentially ultimate control over another is interesting, but tricky. In all likelihood it wouldn't be a long fic, the idea is that it's a temporary situation that the Corinthian eagerly takes advantage of (while knowing exactly what Dream might do to him in retaliation when free) and so I'd probably want to lean more that I usually would into what the Corinthian might actually do if he had a chance like this.

My usual method of balance will need to shift because the interplay would be very different. I've sort of figured that out already, because power taken by force is vastly different from true capitulation and Dream is very good at rubbing salt in a wound. Even in a situation like this he still finds a way to be smug, and the Corinthian still has to be smart about finding weakness even with all of the power he now has over Dream. It's still possible to press in the wrong places.

Again, I may never write this but I might share bits of it one day :) It's about 1200 words at the moment but still a long way off a fully formed fic.

besties wanted jk n mingyu so i gib jk n mingyu🤩

— or, a small bit of the very messy outline of my death the junggyu fic™. totally unedited and raw (intentional). kept that way so that one can feel the original vibes i was feeling when i was brainstorming this on a random 3 am 😙

fwb popular!jk & campus crush jock!mg 

jk is popular for very obvious (? or is it) reasons 🤭, almost made him a fuckboy but nah not really. man’s terrified of commitment so he used to sleep around often, kinda.

but then he finds our oc and *cough* *cough* legitimately falls. still not willing to commit tho 🙄 hence the “fwb” (at least that’s what he convinced himself)

our poor oc... sigh. let’s just say they’re on different pages :/ and our girl is tired of jk’s bs, desperately trying to gather herself and actually move on.

SHE DESERVES SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO BE W HER!!!!

incoming our campus crush kim mingyu 😍

man’s so fine that everyone can feel themselves physically swooning when he’s around 😫

he’s also a jock 😼, not entirely sure which sport i want him to play though... (?🏀)

NOW NOW!! this man is one of those guys who rejects all advances but his love-life is pretty much non-existent (sounds like the biggest lie but yes,,,)

rumor says he used to be nasty nasty at first apparently 👀 but then he found better people as friends and changed 🤨? did a total 180°?

on this random evening after a session, oc asks jk to help her make mg jealous (?) idk she just needs his ✨ATTENTIONNNNNN✨!!! am i self-projecting? am i?

oc always knew him (who wouldn’t), but she was introduced face to face with theeee kmg by jk 🤠

she actually got pretty close to jk’s friend group cause she tagged along w jk to group hang outs frequently (fyi, it was jeon jungkook who would drag her w him 💀)

and 👉🏼👈🏼 she developed this silly little crush on mg 🙈

later on, as oc realized jeon jk is hellbent on staying “friends”, she decided to give other people a chance.

she secretly hopes that if she dates someone else, maybe jk can see and come back to his MFING SENSES

but anyway, our girl is a bit too deep into the mingyu rabbit-hole by now also 😔✋🏼

sulky n pouty jk being mad about oc liking mg… cause guess what!? junggyu homies 😔✊🏼

hmm…. jk still fucking oc in the midst of that ish cuz why not 🫣 n he’s mad too so kinda hate fucking? anyway — oc convinces jk bc she is a simp for mg same girl i feel u and jk agrees half-heartedly cause he would actually give her the whole world 🙄 just stupid ass simps everywhere!!

jk thinks that mg will never say yes 🙃 so deep down he’s like making plans about how he’s gonna absolutely destroy oc and punish her once she gets her heart broken by the campus crush 🥴

like??? BITCH LOOK WHOS TALKING? men are so dense sometimes like WHAT EVEN CANT YOU SEE THAT YOU HURT OC TOO (maybe in a worse way tbh)

sigh... so anyway.

mg thinks oc is prettiest ever & attractive asf and he gets butterflies and stuff when she’s around 🥰🦋 but he never made a move bc he knows there’s sumn fishy going on between oc n his friend 😩

SURPRISE! that man has been pining over oc from who knows when 😦

no one except him knows about it though 😔 (well... you guys know now)

moving forward 👾

jk being grumpy n fighting oc every 10 secs for the dumbest things bc she fell for his bff out of all people 🤡 (but jk is an asshole too cuz bro should’ve stopped saying shit like “we are nothing but friends”?? like yk you can’t just expect a girl to be your fwb for the rest of your life?? 🙄 plus she caught feelings for you n you were a dumb bitch abt it... she deserves to be loved, verbally, physically, mentally and in all the ways 😔🥺)

[REDACTED]

↻ error loading the rest, please try again later. 

... i think i spoiled a bit too much 😵‍💫! but yea here you go!! if you have any thoughts about this, feel free to share them through asks or comments! i’d love to hear them! and, for this once, i request to not rb 🙈! i wouldn’t be the most comfortable seeing this reblogged 😭

[sibylsleaves]

idk if you're still interested in doing that commentary thing, so feel free to ignore if you're not, but this bit from things you don't say reach me somehow anyway (i love that whole scene when he goes to shannon's grave, and that you included her in his list of people to talk to in the first place)

---

“I’m here because you were…you are important to me,” Eddie says. “You always will be. You…you gave me the most precious thing in my life. Christopher. And I’ll always be grateful for that. But I’m also…I’m also grateful for what you said the last time we talked. At the time, it tore me up, but…I know now, that you were right. Ending things—that was the right thing for us. So thank you, for letting me go.”

He takes a shaky breath. “After you left, I spent a lot of time wishing you’d been better. And then after you died, I spent a lot of time wishing I’d been better. A better dad to Chris. A better partner to you. But I learned, when you left, how to be a father. And in the years since you’ve been gone—really gone—I think I’ve finally learned how to be a partner, too. Mostly because there’s someone who taught me how.”

He breathes in the morning air, tipping his head back to the gray sky. A tear slips down his cheek.

“I wish you’d gotten the chance to meet him, You would’ve liked him, I think. Chris certainly does. And I…” His eyes close. “I’m in love with him.”

His breath leaves him in a rush of air. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud. And the world didn’t end. He’s still standing here. 

It’s a cold, quiet morning in June, and Eddie’s in love with his best friend.

Now he just has to tell him.

I am & thank you for sending something!!! I really just love talking about writing so I appreciate you indulging me 😊

Full answer under the cut:

I knew from the minute I had Eddie make a list of people to show his appreciation for that Shannon had to be on it. I mean, that's the mother of his child, and no matter how complicated their relationship was, she's still the reason he has Chris, the reason he wound up in L.A., the reason for so many things in his life.

A part of me felt like Eddie just needed this moment to look back on how things ended up with Shannon from a new perspective--because basically she asks for a divorce, then immediately dies, and then we know Eddie is still upset about that and then.......we don't actually know how he feels about it now. Does he still think it would've worked out between them if she'd lived? Or does he recognize that she made the right choice--that they wouldn't have worked and that walking away was best for all three of them?

We don't really know, and it felt important for this fic to lay to rest the question of Shannon before Eddie moved forward with Buck.

And what's clear is that Eddie is able to be the partner to Buck that he wasn't able to be to Shannon. And it's not necessarily a matter of loving her less or Shannon being less worthy of that partnership, but more a matter of Eddie just not being ready for that commitment at that point in his life under those circumstances (not putting all the blame on Eddie--I also don't think Shannon was ready under those circumstances!)

One of the things that's beautiful about his relationship with Buck is that there's no pressure on either of them to be this perfect partner to the other. Not the way that Eddie felt that pressure with Shannon (and where that pressure came from is another story). And the absence of that pressure gives Eddie the room to actually fulfill that role in a way he couldn't for her.

"And in the years since you’ve been gone—really gone—I think I’ve finally learned how to be a partner, too. Mostly because there’s someone who taught me how.”

I think that he and Buck taught each other. They both have a past with someone where they tried to give them their all (and for Eddie that's a little more complicated) and ended up hurt. I think Abby taught Buck how to be there for someone, how to step inside, but it wasn't until Eddie that he actually learned how to be someone's partner. Because being someone's partner doesn't just mean stepping inside with them, it also means having them step inside with you. And that wasn't something Abby was ever prepared to do for him, so no matter how much Buck tried to give her, they were never going to be real partners in the way he and Eddie are.

And similarly with Eddie and Shannon--they just couldn't seem to be what each other needed. And I think they did both try their very hardest in their own ways. And I think it wasn't until Buck that Eddie realized it didn't have to be such a trial. Letting Buck into his life was almost effortless for Eddie. Becoming work partners after the grenade, telling him about Christopher, letting him come in and fix his childcare problems, leaning on him and opening up to him...I think these things came shockingly easily to Eddie because Buck made them easy. And I think that's part of his struggle in this fic--that everything with Buck has felt so natural and so effortless that it's hard to look at it and see it for what it so obviously is.

“I wish you’d gotten the chance to meet him, You would’ve liked him, I think. Chris certainly does. And I…” His eyes close. “I’m in love with him.”

Once I realized I had to write this scene of him talking to Shannon, I knew that was also going to be the first time he's able to actually say the words I'm in love with him out loud. This line kind of just came out as-is. I like the idea of Eddie thinking about Shannon, and that if she were alive she'd know Buck because Buck would still hold the same place in Eddie and Chris's life. (And side note, I never actually went back to double check that Buck and Shannon canonically never met--they for sure didn't, right??)

It’s a cold, quiet morning in June, and Eddie’s in love with his best friend.

Now he just has to tell him.

Originally I think the scene ended on the line "and Eddie's in love with his best friend." I debated adding the final line because I really did like that as the end to the scene--it feels a little poetic in an understated way, the same way Eddie's ultimate realization is understated. Also I just love the juxtaposition of a "cold, quiet morning in June" because June feels like it SHOULD be warm, but in L.A. the mornings in June are often quite cold.

Ultimately I added the final line because I felt like I needed a little propulsion into the final act.

Thank you for the ask and letting me ramble about this fic, which gave me SO much grief while I was writing it. It's nice to look back and see that I am actually quite proud of it!

send me an ask about any of my fics

[coldflasher]

you know i have to ask about coldwest for the ship thing

hmmm yeah, this one isn't for me really :/ not my cup of tea

jokes, can you imagine haha. i am the captain of coldwest. yo ho ho and a bottle of why-the-fuck-didn't-they-get-more-screentime

What made you ship it?

Honestly I had never even thought about shipping them until Redhead's fic "Needs Must, As the Devil Drives" got me super into Coldwestallen, and from there I spent a lot more time thinking about the Coldwest side of that dynamic and what a fun and complicated relationship that would be... then the rest, ngl, was largely built from my own headcanons and bits of dozens of fics that hopefully, one day, I will actually finish...

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

So many things!! I think the first thing that comes to mind is that I feel like Coldwest offers a great opportunity to put Iris out there in the field. The show kind of tends to keep Iris out of the action a lot. Like she is a hugely important member of the team, obviously, but she's generally sitting in S.T.A.R Labs running tech support, and aside from occasionally getting temporary speed powers or occasionally aiming a gun at a threat, she often takes a back seat to the action. Barry in particular has this tendency to want to get Iris as far away from a fight as possible, and while I get it, I love seeing Iris kick ass. We know she can shoot, throw a punch, whatever, but she rarely gets the opportunity to get out there as much, and whenever she does, it's panic button time and she gets whisked to safety. I feel like Len, with his tendency to get into trouble, his love of adrenaline and a fight, and the thrill he clearly gets while fighting, would love to have Iris on his side in that kind of situation, and he wouldn't hesitate to get her involved. He'd actually encourage it, if anything. Which also provides fun conflict with Joe, who would already be seething that this criminal is dating his daughter, but now he's encouraging her to put her life at risk and possibly commit crimes? Oh, the drama >:) I love writing Coldwest team-ups where Iris gets to use her skills as a reporter while Len uses his skills as a thief, and they kind of play off one another... with lots of back and forth arguing and snark, of course.

I also personally like that, in my view, Iris would have a better handle on Len than anyone else. Like he's more willing to let her boss him around than he would be with another partner. As mentioned, she doesn't take his shit, she's not as amused by him and she will tell him to cut the crap if he's being a dick. In contrast, though, I also feel like he'd be softer than her than he would with another partner. Sure, he'll pull her pigtails and make mean, sly comments, he wouldn't be Len if he didn't... but he also admires and respects her, he's a fan of her work, and I think that Iris is just such a kind and gentle person that I think being around her would soften him. He'd never admit it, but in my head, he's so gone for her, and while it might take a while for him to let his guard down, if you'll excuse the terrible ice pun, he'd melt for her. Like. That small smile he gives to show he's proud of his sister---that kind of moment, all this affection and pride that he keeps private and only lets out when no one's looking, but when they're alone, he lets her see it. Just a little. Sigh.

Also, I kind of like that it's such unchartered territory wrt canon. Like GOD my kingdom for more coldwest scenes, but also, the fact that we get to see so little of them together on screen means that there is so much to explore there, and canon cannot tell me no (like it would stop me anyway haha). It really does give me free reign to think about how they would interact and what kind of scenarios they'd get involved in.

Oh yeah, and I also think they're both extremely hot and I wanna see them bang seven ways to Sunday, so there's that

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't really know. It's such a small ship, I don't really know what opinions are out there haha. Hm... I guess maybe that I think Iris would call him babe. Cos generally Len is NOT a petname person and I think if anyone else tried to call him babe, he would make them regret it, but with Iris, he's like a cat being pet and secretly liking it but pretending not to... he's like "I'll allow it. Maybe." but secretly smug like yes. I am babe

Send me a ship and I'll answer three questions based on whether I ship it or not

March 29: Jane Notes

I spent the whole day trying frantically to catch up with all the work that’s piling up around me out of nowhere all the while feeling like I had a second set of eyelids behind my real eyes that were constantly closing. But it was nice out after work so I got a coffee and a delicious raspberry Danish and sat outside and wrote some. I actually had a better time doing that than I’ve had in a while, possibly because my expectations were so low. Then I came home and went to sleep for a bit. Now I want to go to sleep again but I gotta work on the drawer fic first… kind of scared of it because I had a meltdown over it last night—well really over my computer. It shut down while I was in the shower so I had to restart it and I got so flustered about it that I hit a major writing block, like I could NOT think creatively because I was too busy freaking out about the time and being exhausted and wanting to gnaw off my own hand, so I just wrote some notes about what I want to happen next and gave up. I guess this technically does count as breaking my streak but I honestly, truly, tried my best. I could not have done more. So today I need to break through that one sentence that drove me over the edge and maybe try to uncurse myself a little here.

Anyway, I wrote some notes about my Daria/Jane College AU story while I was out and I’m just going to put them here. They’re not really about the fic per se but more about Jane’s character more generally as I try to work some stuff out. I want to go back to writing this fic… writing has been really hard recently, just finding time/energy, and I don’t have a ton of optimism about this weekend but… I do want to rally and do it.

The notes:

I was sort of thinking about their flaws and how they could breed conflict. Toying with the idea that [AU] Jane does not have any role models for stability and consistency, other than (sort of) Trent, and that this could lead to questionable decisions. My feelings are mixed. It feels almost plausible but also OOC. Because… Jane’s weak points canonically are not loyalty or stability-related. She and Daria are old married BFFs from the GET. She doesn’t run from Tom when they get serious. She has specific reasons—not boredom or fear of commitment—for ditching Evan and Nathan. Yet I also am intrigued by the vision of Future Jane, how she’s modeled her marriage on her parents’.

The Lanes as a family are flaky and unreliable but actually I feel like Jane has had to overcompensate for them, rather than follow suit. She is sometimes painted (lol) (drawn?) as lazy, loving to sleep—but she’s responsible for the gazebo in Art Burn and Lanebay shows entrepreneurial spirit ahead of its time. Her artistic output is staggering. She’s learned not to expect anything from most family and she’s become self-reliant as well as self-assured as a result.

We do know that she’s impulsive, and fond of creative schemes and theories (DDMD, Art Burn, The Lawndale Files, hooking up with Bobby Bighead, and her bold flirtations with Tom and Nathan). Her creative energy just sort of… runs free. She doesn’t seem to have reins on herself when she gets going. Self-doubt is her kryptonite—she lets any in, she goes off the rails (this jealousy crap—it isn’t me; Fire/DDM, IIFY).

But what does all this COME to? How does it apply HERE? I’m not sure yet.

[scipiosmith]

Alright. I take back my statement on the comphet thing. I apologize for making a statement of ignorance there. And I'll admit that being rwde leaning is necessary for fic writing sometimes.

I'm not some Hardcore Bee Shipper that believes "oh blake and yang should only be together always no matter what"

I'm totally able to keep an open mind on ships. So long as the fic has them in good chemistry I'll be on board. I don't even generally mind blacksun. My usual problem with it is that it always feels a bit gross for people to pair blake, the faunus main character, up with the first faunus guy we see on screen that showed interest.

Its the speed of things, you know? Most fic writers that get them together do so at the fastest moment that plot can allow. It was fairly quick that they got together in sapr too if I'm being honest. Tho at times it doesnt feel it given the gargantuan word count. I'll be on board if it salvages itself later.

I am more disappointed with the spoiler of Rainbow Dash not seeing Ironwood and the atlas military as bad. Half for the spoiler (as well as the cinder and sunset thing.) And half for the other thing.

On principle I hate and distrust all militaries as they've historically been used to commit some of the worst atrocities in human history as well as being the vanguard for a lot of, for example, American and British imperialism even in extremely recent history.

I do think what atlas does with its Academy is definitely some mid key indoctrination, even in your own story.

Military Authoritarianism of any stripe is, in a word, Not Cool. I think anyone who glorifies it in any way is a sucker.

But that's enough disparaging. I do wanna actually point out more things I like about sapr. I think your use of Valish as opposed to the fandom standard of Valean to be intresting and refreshing.

I like the severe expansion of and into the political nature of the kingdoms, and the maneuvering that happens through them.

I enjoy how you've remembered that the Vytal Festival is not Just the Tournament.

I touched on it before but I enjoy how you've integrated the pony characters to fit within the setting of remnant. Its especially fun to realize a fair bit of pony names do actually fit very well with the usual naming scheme of RWBY characters, though it's a bit amusing to think of someone as serious as glynda or ironwood saying the name Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie.

Anyway this ask is getting Really Long so I'll leave it here. If I do another one I promise itll be much more positive.

That's fine, as I say I appreciate that you haven't read all of my works, I'd just rather you didn't rush to judgement on the basis of just one thing.

That... is actually an argument against BlackSun that I haven't heard before, but one which has some force to it, I must admit. As far as SAPR goes, I don't regard the BlackSun as the best thing about it, by any means. Certainly I don't love it in the way that I do like Arkos, and the Arkos in this story if I do say so myself.

I'm sorry about the spoilers.

As far as the Atlas Military goes... yes, real world militaries have been used as tools of imperialist power, and have committed terrible atrocities on behalf of that power. But the Atlesian military isn't doing imperialism, it's defending people from soulless man-eating monsters. And, yes, you can argue that huntsmen and huntresses do that, but there aren't that many of them, and the story has already shown some of the problems with that in Mistral, where Terri-Belle is having to rush from pillar to post putting out fires here there and everywhere because there aren't that many huntsmen to go around, and where four students on vacation had to go out and fight a grimm without shouting distance of Mistral itself because they'd run out of defenders (and you are quite free to suspect that that was all very convenient for some people, but that doesn't change the fact it was plausible that it might happen).

Personally, and I'm sure Rainbow Dash would agree with me, if I had a choice between fighting grimm with three friends or fighting grimm with three friends and the ability to call in a variety of flexible air support options from an array of fighters, bombers and giant flying warships, I'd take option B.

Which gets into my other point about about the Atlas military, which is that it's just really, really cool. Fine, I'm a sucker in your eyes, although I prefer the term 'big kid', but the sight of all those troops and ships and robots appeals to the same part of me that used to play with toy soldiers, or the part of me that used to wargame (so playing with toy soldiers and dice).

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you've been enjoying those parts. And yes, a lot of the pony names do fit the colour naming rule really well (better than some of the OCs, who are a bit of a reach in some respects).

The struggle when I’m writing a fanfiction and I’m really excited and I really enjoy it and I want to post and share it with people! But! I know how bad I am at finishing projects and the story isn’t even half done and what if I lose motivation and just have another half finished fic sitting out there and I disappoint EVERYONE. But also what if I DONT DO THAT and I could’ve been sharing it the whole time and getting feedback and enjoying reading people’s comments ? and round and round my brain goes on this one circular track

This is such a weird dumb idea and maybe other people have already theorized this and I’m just out of the loop but it’s making me laugh so I’m going to share it anyway

so there’s the whole gregbot thing right? Well what if Gregory isn’t a robot but Vanessa is? Maybe Vanny created her as lookalike/stunt double kind of thing so Vanny was free to wear her creepy mask and run around killing people but could point to Vanessabot who was roaming around the Pizzaplex doing her job as an alibi 

It would explain the rooftop ending where Vanny seems to really closely resemble Vanessa, but Vanessa is shown to be standing up on the roof while Vanny is on the ground. I know there’s the theory of it being Vanessa’s ghost which is probably more likely but idk, Vanessabot is funnier to me for some reason

i don't think you understand how much this guy means to me. this guy. the most beautiful, gentle, gorgeous man in the whole world. this person who's very existence is why i am still here today. bangchan. bang christopher chan. chrissy boi

however has the privilege of dating this one should know that they are the luckiest person in the whole wide world

bangchan as a boyfriend? he puts his all into the relationship. being the leader of stray kids has taught him many things: patience, kindness, empathy, compromise, understanding. he is well equipped for any sort of human interaction, if we're being honest. he is also prone to be protective, taking a more caring role is natural for him. as a boyfriend, he will look out for you. make sure you stay out of harms way, protect you from the press, sasaengs, paparazzi, toxic fans, idols, anyone who hurts your feelings, your reputation, your image.

you are like the kids in the sense that you become chan's top priority.

speaking of the kids, you will have to get on well with them. the other members as so important to chan because they are essentially his family. so getting along with them is a must and non-negotiable, tbh

and they welcome you with open arms, anyway, seeing how happy you. make chan. you all end up being one big happy family, its lovely

but it's baffling, really. because at first, chan was a bit concerned that being in a relationship would be extremely difficult because of his tight schedule

and, much like i said with hongjoong, he's a quality time guy. he craves a one-on-one connection with someone, to really get to know them well and to understand their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. which is hard because he literally has no time at all. but somehow, magically, he manages. and much better than he thought he would

and it's because he absolutely thrives in a relationship. he finally has someone to commit to. something to look forward to. something that give shis life a new meaning. a brighter joy that he has never quite experienced before. sure, he's living his dream, but it's not easy. his life is hectic and tough and crazy and busy and lonely. and therefore he values, much more deeply than others, the feeling of companionship

to love and to be loved. that's what he desires the most. that's what he needs

because this man has so much love to give. he will hold you close to him and never ever let you go

cuddles are a necessity! he's very physically affectionate and essentially wants to be close to you in any way. he doesn't even care if he's the big spoon or little spoon. if he's. a big spoon, he feels like he is protecting you and it feels so good holding you close in his arms. but if he's the little spoon, he would feel so safe and loved and cherished as you hold him tight. he lives for any type of cuddles <3

overall, being in a relationship with chan would be extremely important for him for one key reason: you make him feel like he is at home. he finds himself being so comfortable around you; he is free to be himself, with no judgement. he feels safe with you. that's something he can never deny. you are his best friend, his family, his soulmate. a massive part of his life. he never underestimates how much you mean to him. and he never takes you for granted. not once.

dates with him would include:

studio dates - yes, i know, how predictable. the usual setting of every chan fic out there, i get it, i get it. but he loves it when you're at the studio with him. sometimes you guys work together, just quiet and enjoying each others comfortable company, ordering takeaway food at midnight, falling to sleep together in the early hours of the morning. or you guys just mess around and get like zero work done. either way, he loves it

binge-watching - he counts this as a date. he wants nothing more than after a long day working at the studio, coming home to you snuggling up in his arms in his bed while he puts on a movie or anime or tv show you guys have been watching. it's one of his favourite moments ever. it makes him feel so warm and happy

fireworks display - kinda cliché but also totally his vibe. i think he's watched so many anime with romance fireworks scenes that he's just like 'yep, we have to do this.' and it's breathtaking how perfect it all is. a beautiful moment shared with a beautiful man

i hope chan chooses happiness, above all else <3
