I'm taking a long break from work starting Friday. Which means I'll hopefully have some free time to do more writing (!!!!!) in between the chaos of my life right now. If you have drabble/one shot/writing challenge requests, send them to me! I'll try and get to them in my inbox next week.

3, 5, 11, 14 for the ask game? :D

ohboy,ohboy,ohboy,ohboy...

Ask Game Here: (Thank you, @pink-november, btw)

Warning: mild (but still existing) Pristine Cut spoilers

3.) Favorite Vessel?

The Razor. She's actually the first vessel I got when I first played the game. (Specifically, M.A.D. I think I would have gotten the Spectre if I hadn't fallen for the "this was too easy" trick.) Regardless, I'm glad I got her first. She's easily the funniest Princess. Her desperate attempts to quell suspicions in chapter 2 is fucking hilarious, especially the "I would like to go outside and see a bird" bit when Hero almost buys into it. Speaking of, it not only introduced Cheated, who in my opinion is one of the most relatable voices, it introduced EVERY voice, so I got a small taste of all of them.

Runner-ups would be Moment of Clarity, Wraith, Thorn, and the newly added Cage.

5.) Favorite Voice?

Skeptic. The beloved...

He definitely stands out from the other voices, by which I mean, he doesn't quite fit with the genre of the story. It's as if you took a 1940's film noir detective and put him in a dark fantasy setting without telling him that he's in a dark fantasy setting. Which (I think) is why he keeps trying to rationally explain his surroundings despite his surroundings clearly not being rational.

He's also kind of a dork. That segment when he "winks" honestly caught me off guard when I first heard it. Had me giggling throughout the rest of the chapter.

Runner-ups include Paranoid, Cheated, Cold, and Broken (especially after the Pristine Cut).

11.) Non-canon Vessel/ Voice interactions?

To be honest, I don't have any specific examples that come to mind. Maybe due to the fact that I'm not fully finished with my Pristine Cut playthrough and don't want to accidentally say something stupid.

That being said, from what I have completed, Smitten seems to be a very underutilized voice. (Yes, I have played the Happily Ever After chapter, so I do know about that... concept.) I mean I understand that his personality is applicable in very specific circumstances (i.e. the Thorn, the Damsel, the Razor). Like, I wouldn't put him with vessels like the Den or the Wraith or such. The Wild would be an interesting one, though. So would the Apotheosis. Hell, put him with the Eye of the Needle so that he and Stubborn can both gawk at the hot Princess. That'd be funny, I think.

14.) Favorite Ships?

oh boy...

To be honest, I'm not one for the shipping scene. At least not sexually. Maybe romantically? Ehh?? If anything, it would be platonic.

But...

The ones I see most are ContraHero, HuntCheat, and (from you, specifically, heh) ParaCold. While all the voices have interesting dynamics with each other, these specific pairings make sense to me personally more than anything else.

Case in point:

Ooh, what's that?! A voice sneak peek?!? eaoooaaag!!!

Personal head canons include:

- Contrarian and Hero constantly flip-flop between the best of friends and an old married couple who bicker a lot (also bushy hair supremacy!!!).

- Hunted is one of the only people who can make Cheated smile. Like a genuine smile, not a smirk. Mostly because he finds Hunted's animalistic behavior amusing.

- On the other side, Hunted is very particular about where he sleeps, only picking locations where he feels the most safe. And his favorite spot is with Cheated's company.

- Cold's general apathy towards everything, specifically staying alive, is greatly concerning to Paranoid, so he resolves to "make him feel". (I know, similar to what Smitten decreed. However, unlike Smitten, who used it as a threat, Paranoid is genuinely invested in what he sees as helping Cold.) Likewise, Cold is probably one of the best voices to easily quell his panic attacks (granted he could also be the cause of them, but still...).

Hi! 13 or 27 for the rook story time prompts, if you want!

I WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PROMPT and apologize for the delay ;___; 13 or 27? Because it feels like I can easily combine them :3c

Rook visiting a place they love/MW!Rook tending to the gardens.

Sweeping. Vorgoth had Grier sweeping graves of all things. Grier; who had fixed the veil and taken down two gods, who had prevented a civil war, who had survived unimaginable odds and was taking on a new last name, was sweeping graves. In a way it was humbling. Being gone for almost three years, only back on a technicality.

The gardens had looked different from when Grier had last visited with Emmrich. Johanna's old study room (now dubbed Grier's new haunt) was still nestled on the side, but several other doors had appeared and vanished. The walkways had twisted, freshly trimmed vines and bushes dotting its length. New bells, cascading with turquoise gems and colored glass had spawned peppered in, not that Grier was looking to ring one without consulting Keepsake and Curio first.

Yet none of the dirt and melted wax ever seemed to disappear. Oh well. With that, Grier dragged a little pile of dust to the edge of the earth, looking over without fear to the nothingness below. Whistling innocently, they flicked their broom to rid the stone of dirt, pointedly not watching as the particles drifted wherever it was things go when they fell off the side into nothingness.

Placing the broom back onto its hook, Grier traded it for a chisel, a set of gloves, and printing shears. Vorgoth had asked them to tend to the stones, to reacquaint them with their home, but Grier had other ideas in mind.

One path remained the same, and as they followed it lead Grier to where an older pair of Volkarin's now rested. No flowers to present as offering, Grier instead dropped to their knees before the stones. Gloves on, chisels in hand, Grier delicately removed a healthy layer of moss to reveal the names beneath.

"I wonder if you can really see from there," Speaking out loud to no one but the stones before them, Grier carefully peeled away the more natural carpet. "Emmrich believes you can, and who am I to doubt? I'm more worried if you'd approve of his choice in me."

While Emmrich was more the one to harp on their age gap, some comments from their mutual peers had stung Grier as well. It did put Emmrich in an awkward position, even if Grier hadn't been a former student. It never looked good to see an older mage, one with power, coupled to an elf, especially one born with the female experience as they had. Even if it was not the situation, it still did not stop judgmental eyes from drawing their own conclusions at a first glance.

Snipping away some of the stray vines, Grier began to make a pile of natural waste, scooping up earth and moss and vines and thorns into their gloved hands. Without getting up Grier hurled the chunks up and over, watching as moss and dirt rained down like a poor man's firework, each piece losing integrity as it sank lower into the abyss. Sighing deeply, Grier looked at the stones one last time.

"Oh, I knew I'd find you here!" Rather than turning, Grier bent their head backwards, the upside down vision of Emmrich striding up to them. Emmrich who slowly lowered himself behind Grier, one gloved hand supporting the base of their skull. "You're going to strain your neck, dear."

"You'd put me back together," attempting to batt their eyelashes while upside down left them dizzy, swaying before Emmrich fixed their posture.

"Vorgoth told me you'd be down here."

"Yeah, has me sweeping graves as if I just entered the watch."

His gloved hand swept down to Rook's nape, gently letting his thumb trace the bones beneath their hood. "I know, it's hardly fair, but I'm just thankful you could come home at all." An unspoken 'come home with me'.

"How's all that paper work going?" Seeing as Emmrich hadn't pulled himself up hay yet, Grier took it as invitation to crawl into the necromancer's lap, making sure to tuck their head carefully beneath his chin. "I could help with it, you know."

"All I need from you is your signature, but that can wait." Chin pressed to the top of Grier's head affectionately, Emmrich wrapped his arms around Grier. "You certain you are okay with taking my name? We could hyphenate it."

"Vorgoth gave me my first and house name. It's going to be a large change, one im sure to mess up, but I'm happy to take on your house name." An unspoken 'your house holds meaning'.

"If you insist."

hellooo i am jumping in for some salty asks please :)

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

13. Unpopular opinion about blaine and/or kurt?

22. popular character you hate?

hope ur doing well! <3

im doing great, tysm for the ask <3

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

i actually used to really enjoy br*tt*na the first time i watched the show. but as i engage with the show more and more, i really struggle to enjoy it, especially in the way i used to. i think i liked it before bc i was basically told i had to

13. Unpopular opinion about blaine and/or kurt?

blaine: sometimes, it’s okay to admit that he was perhaps a bit too insecure to be in a relationship with someone like kurt, at least in s3. im slightly biased, bc i don’t particularly LIKE blaine’s characterization in s3, but he held some insecurities that wasn’t really kurt’s job to alleviate. i don’t think ppl want to really acknowledge this, but i do think it’s an important part of growing up for blaine

kurt: he’s selfish and jealous. hes such a good person most of the time, but he’s most definitely not the most selfless person. but he’s also a teenager. i think ppl struggle with wanting to call him selfish, but that’s kinda was teenagers are too a certain degree. he’s done nice things bc he thinks it’ll benefit him longterm, and he does eventually kinda grow out of this, but it’s most certainly still a part of him.

22. Popular character you hate?

brittany…….. and idk if i HATE her, but i really don’t like her all that much. like, something about racism/fatphobia/transphobia going unchecked always rubbed me the wrong way. and the fact that it’s dismissed on the grounds of her being “stupid”??? idk i just find it strange. most other characters get checked for these behaviors (see: kurt with biphobia) but never her

Send this to all your favourite moots and pass the pumpkin round! KEEP THE PUMPKIN TRAIN GOING 🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃 <3

Pumpkin??

[seeminglydark]

trick or treat! (big fan and love your work 🖤)

A treat for you!!! And thank you c: 🎃🎃

[jamiesfootball]

I wish you would write a fic where..

Jamie becomes the captain - I'd love to see him in that kind of leadership role where he has to be responsible for other people (that's why I'd also like to see him become a coach someday) or

Jamie wins some kind of award so I can see Roy and the rest of his family be proud of him :))

In the hours since you have sent this to me, I have devised a fic that somehow combines both of these things -- but in a way that no one but me has ever asked for.

How do we feel about Jamie winning a Webby?

At age thirty-three, Jamie Tartt takes a bad tackle on his right ankle, slamming the door on a career that’s been nothing less than show stopping. He takes the news that he’ll never play again like a champ--which is to say he takes it better than Roy did—and only spends a week sobbing into Roy’s couch cushion that his life is over. On the eighth day, he clomps and crutches his way into the kitchen. He fires up the live feed on whatever app he’s obsessed with now. With three days worth of stubble and bags under his eyes from crying, he announces to the world at large that he’s about to try, ‘Every damn TikTok recipe that I've missed out on because it's been outside of my meal plan for the past twenty-fucking-years.’ And so his new career as ‘obnoxious wastrel who tries to burn down Roy kitchen’ is born.

trick or treat binch 🥰🍬🎃

Thanks for stopping on by m'dear, I'mma yeet some fun-sized (3-sentence) FloRid candy just for you! Happy Halloween 👻🎃🍬

A series of knocks against the dorm door just as Riddle finishes pulling on his gloves brings a satisfied smile to his face—his boyfriend arriving to pick him up for Diasomnia's Halloween party precisely on time is a surprisingly good sign—but when he opens the door, the sight that greets him wipes that smile right off in favour of a scandalised scowl, "—what are you wearing, Floyd!?"

"Aww," instead of their mutually-agreed-upon (technically by only Riddle's request) matching costumes, Floyd is beaming at him from inside a banana suit of all things, "I knew you'd like it, Goldfishie!"

"You..." with an ever-suffering sigh, Riddle steps onto the Heartslabyul porch and takes Floyd's outstretched hand, squeezing it with an affection that he barely manages to keep from bleeding into his voice as they set off, "...of course I do."

hi j!! what are your top five favorite books? i think you're an excellent writer with wonderful ideas and i hope you're having a wonderful day ( . ̫.)♡ (this is for the ask game!)

p.s. i finished your 'wasteland, baby' series despite not having started the book of boba fett and loved it! i've always loved fairy tales and i loved how the reader character befriended fennec shand—i loved her so much in the mandalorian—and met john hancock (!!!! i gasped when he showed up T_T i loved how you wrote him in that chapter) and the romance between the reader character and boba was excellent!! do you have a favorite fairy tale?

thank you so much amorette! 💕 I have been thinking about the books and that’s what’s taken me a bit - my mind always goes blank! but I love the hobbit + the lord of the rings, anything austen or brontë. I’ve been reading a number of romances lately but I not sure if I have a fave author among them? I might have to check back in in a couple weeks!

and thank you, I think you’re an excellent writer too! and excited for more of your ghoulcy fic. that’s so cool that you read wasteland, baby! the fairy tales was a big inspiration for boba (being her wasteland knight in shining armor, haha) (and yess I couldn’t resist adding hancock! I love him). I’m so glad you liked it! (and beauty and the beast is my fave - what about you??)

[ask box game 💖]

[just-here-for-the-moment]

YOU KNOW I GOTTA PLAY!! Lol 🥰

Okay, your title is;

The Messenger

“The Messenger” (1993, runtime 38 minutes)

This was Dieter Bravo’s first starring role, and it’s perfectly apropos that the only copies still available in 2024 are on VHS. While there has been a resurgence lately of transferring remastered films to DVD and Blu-ray, I think it’s better that this one stays right where it is. 

Bravo stars as titular character Gabriel Messenger (an overt reference to Christian theology and the angel which brought Mary the joyful news about her impending baby Jesus), which makes it all the more strange that Bravo delivers his lines in a dead-flat monotone laced with his original Boston accent. Gabriel is tasked with riding his messenger bike all over New York City to deliver letters, culminating in a meet-cute when he nearly knocks a girl over with his bike and they instantly fall in love. In the shuffle, the two starry-eyed teens accidentally switch messenger bags, and Bravo has to retrace his steps in an attempt to find both the girl and the bomb he was carrying. 

Just when you’re starting to wonder how many more hours a 38-minute film can last, the preachy film takes a wild left turn into soft porn: Bravo finds the girl, disarms the bomb, and the film ends with an everything-but-the-genitals, soft-focus, 8 minute sex scene set to an extended saxophone version of “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred. 

Please don’t make me watch this ever again. 🙏 ***

Fake movie titles starring Dieter Bravo - come play!!

hiii, hiii for the stp ask game

5. (Explore) Who's your favorite Voice?

25. (Explore) What’s a moment in the game that emotionally destroyed you?

eeeeeeeeee

Ask Game Here: (oh hey, it's you!!)

5.) Favorite Voice?

I did answer this one already, but I'm willing to view this as an excuse to talk about the beloved Skeptic again. :)

One thing I forgot to mention is that he can be bitingly cynical, and I think this is off-putting to most people. I don't personally have a problem with this; more often than not, his cynicism gives way to more funny and/or emotional moments. Also, most of my favorite characters in fiction are cynical to an extent.

25.) The moment that emotionally destroyed me?

Uh, this one:

Just this entire scene. This poor, wretched existence she had to go through. Just... man...

And the Narrator. God... He'd never admit it, but He just sounds so remorseful. Like he's.... sorry.

In The Realm Of Giants

How tall are the giants? Are there any smaller giants?

Welcome back @wyked-ao3 !! 🫖✨

I won’t spoil too much of the story, buuuuut.

“How Tall Are The Giants?” Ha…hahaha….heh. Hh—

Giant.

Really fucking big.✨

Imagine the realm scaling to Tav (the giant). So, everything would be “normal” for the giant. For Tyr? He is a tiny. That’s how giant we’re talking 😂✨
