What is this alphard x effie x monty magic u speak of?? I neeeeed to know immediately pls

Also mary x pandora x lily is so gooooood i just have so many thoughts about them and I am happy someone else does tooooo

I.......... I didn't think you would see it............

So if it wasn't clear I'm obsessed with Alphard Black. So I just had to picture his character and so on- I think he is a lonely man who made peace with his fate but he still itches for some attention, doesn't go out of his way to get it because he supposes that it's just how things are.

By a complete accident, and with the funny trope of 'The Potter bloodline is somehow always obsessed/caring for the Black bloodline', was born Alphard/Effie/Monty

Which is why Alphard would not realize that Effie & Monty are seriously interested in him - he sees it but thinks it's just fleeting and they will get bored soon enough. That's what he thinks after the first time they all sleep together.

He has heard about Fleamont Potter during his time at Hogwarts but they barely attended school at the time so they never really crossed paths; though he has heard that Fleamont Potter is a terrifying duelist and you should never mock his name. Alphard discovers them both through Sirius' stories before finally meeting them, especially Effie who isn't from England and Alphard was not invited to most fancy events so he never had the chance to see her or even Monty despite knowing them vaguely from afar.

Effie & Monty are perfectly happy together, married for years, and have never found the desire to add someone or even shake things up in their life. Their heart still beat for each other and yet there is this gnawing thoughts about Alphard always lurking.

It surprises them both, even though Effie is perfectly aware that she checked Alphard's arse way too many times or wondered what he would say at this or that, and Monty is conscious that he should not indulge into picturing all the different tones Alphard's voice could take or how gentle his hands are.

They meet him through Sirius and Regulus (ALPHARD ADOPTS THEM FIGHT ME) and so they are bound to see each other and what a nice uncle they have and - oh, they think about him maybe way too often.

Effie & Monty see right through each other, they both know that the other has been ogling Alphard on a summer day during a long lunch or that they are a tad too tactile and their faces melt when looking at him - just like it is between them but they never thought it was possible because they are beyond happy with each other and wouldn't cheat on each other. Despite all that they can't help but wonder and delve on so many quirks of Alphard.

They quickly realise it's not sexual because they often catch themselves wondering if Alphard would like this play, what are his thoughts on the recent news, if he would laugh at Effie's jokes or would he praise Monty's recent experiments and would Alphard ever let them watch him do manual work like he so often talk about?

They are a mess together and one day during breakfast they simply say: "do you think he thinks of us?" and the dam is broken. They don't justify themselves because they understand and maybe they are even gossiping, sharing details they have noticed that the other might have missed and so on. It's less confusing now that they share their thoughts and it feels almost natural.

Effie & Monty decide to try their luck and they will come up with the silliest excuses (that's where James' flirting skills come from) like 'oh we have an extra ticket and it would a waste'; ' the floo network suddenly had a problem and you're not in state to apparate so you can stay over-- oh but the guest room is being renovated but our bed is big enough for the three of us'.

Sorry it's mess and I'm working at the same time. It probably doesn't make sense but I love them;; I have slipped them in my last one-shot and plan to do it for all my stories from now on :) this is a threat

PS: I'm slowly adding up Mary/Pandora/Lily in most of my stories. I just think they would make each other really happy and I like how I picture them in my head

OK, so we've discussed Jod's apparent faux concern when Harrow comes to him desperately begging to be protected from G1deon:

"Harrowhark, when was the last time you slept?"

We later learn that he asked G1deon to "fix or put down Harrow". He thought putting her in desperate circumstances would somehow activate her Lyctoral powers.

It all feels particularly awful because elsewhere we've seen him imagine Harrow as his daughter: "You’d make a hell of a daughter, Harrowhark."

And yes, this is Jod's love of being perceived as a nice man and his tendency to make everything about him. But also...

They’d all expected me to go nuts. A— kept saying, Are you sleeping, are you okay, are you taking any Class As, you know you can tell me.

I wasn’t trying to be a dick. I think I hadn’t slept for two days.

I wasn’t operating on a lot of food or sleep.

I’d stopped sleeping and I wasn’t eating much, I was keeping my body going just by fiddling with the processes.

That last one is John 1:20. You know, the chapter where Jod finally unlocks the full potential of what he can do (with just a little help from a planet and 10 billion deaths) and becomes god?

Jod sees himself in Harrow. And he knows being hounded and sleep deprived was what worked for him.

what is the theory that ivan manipulated the event where till and mizi met the wagyein?

It's not a theory, actually! It's confirmed that Ivan orchestrated the whole event. The true reason as to why however is still unknown. The information provides more context to this scene, though:

During the earlier times of ALNST the most rational explanation for this scene was that Till ran after a flower crown (presumably Mizi's) and Ivan followed him in out of curiosity. Now we know that Ivan was conveniently just standing there because he was waiting.

Side note, I find it heartbreaking (and maybe a little funny, sorry) that Till most likely didn't notice Ivan in this scene. That's just like him, isn't it. Always too busy running after Mizi while Ivan trails behind, an ever-present shadow.

I'm not sure how Ivan manipulated the circumstances for both of them to end up there, but it is confirmed that everything was intentional. What strikes me most is how they describe this particular scene:

I can't copy down what they said word-for-word (Patreon info), but they described Ivan watching "creepily" as Till and Mizi are faced with danger. We know that Ivan was familiar with the Cerberus wagyein beforehand, enough to touch its teeth and even to rest himself inside its maw. To Ivan, the wagyein is not dangerous, but to Till and Mizi, it could be. Ivan prepared the wagyein, led them there, and watched "creepily" from afar as Till fell on his knees, seemingly injured.

The closest I can get to making sense of Ivan's "scheme" is that he wanted to see how other children would react in a dangerous situation. Ivan's always been an observer, after all, and he's learned to survive by copying the more "normal" behaviors of his peers. This situation occured when Ivan was still young and had not yet developed his more charming mask, so perhaps he staged this encounter to study a situational response, to learn and mimic the emotion of fear. And what better subjects for the experiment than two of the most expressive and reactive humans of their batch? It helps that he was already fixated on Till beforehand, too. I think Ivan became irreversibly obssessed after this incident, especially since it's framed as a turning point in Ivan's life, comparing Till to the stars.

This is just my attempt at an interpretation, though. It could very well be for another reason. He most likely chose Till and Mizi specifically for personal reasons, not just for reaction. I'm still not sure on the purpose behind the whole thing.

The team wanted to capture Ivan's "dark emotions" through the shot of his stalking, which could relate to his more sinister intentions. His gaze can be read in a few different ways, though. Curiosity, interest, fear, etc. Maybe that's why they decided to redraw the shot in ROUND 6.

I think this better sells the feeling they were trying to convey.

A free use/pet arrangement where Tomura comes back in a huff from a meeting or something and the only thing that can fix his terrible mood is grabbing his lovley pet and sinking in nice and deep.

Dabi wasn't expecting Tomura to be back so early and now he gets fucked silly as Tomura basically uses him as a convenient hole before settling in to spend the rest of the day cock warming. As Tomura goes back to doing his paperwork, thrusting up into Dabi whenever he reads something particularly stupid, Dabi is nice and floaty throughout.

Mmm, he would be so happy and cozy like that 💕

oouuouua please make a follow up on the superhero pap x reader theyre one of my favorites also im excited to see tf fic from yuo

im glad you enjoyed it!!! i got a comment on it recently while i was thinking abt how to continue it and that seemed to click my brain into action LMAO

EHEHEHE hopefully! soon!! ive got a few things in mind but im also waffling over Really Starting because i have so many things ongoing but... auauugh the IDEAS plague me!!!!

also heres a sneak peek into my brain because im in the mood to chatter, but feel free to skip it if you so desire:

for Origin Story im LOOSELY planning any continuation/s to be kinda standalone stories all centered around a superhero trope (like the Origin Story ;]) because i think that could be fun to work with. i enjoyed writing some of the larger Undertale cast, something that i WOULD have liked to do in FF, except Edge and the MC in that are both pretty reclusive socially abfjfbdjdghkf,, oh well.

anyway. i have tons of ideas for the various tropes, so its really a matter of picking a place and Writing. i really want to feature more of Alphys in this because i love her dearly <3

as for TF fic... most of them are reader inserts unsurprisingly lmaooo but ive got a few non-reader inserts floating around there too. im kinda just throwin stuff at the walls of my mind to see what sticks, but heres a few of my draft titles for your perusing pleasure:

into the fire: noble-ish au with a human reader who is supposed to be gifted to one of the members of the household. reader makes a failed escape attempt torn bedsheet style and is saved :] inspired loosely by the visual novels i used to read/play back in high school LMAO. skeletiano, i will forever be sad i could not romance you.

between you, me and soundwave: reader writes rpf abt mechs on earth LMAO. i see people mention humans writing fanfic about Cybertronians in passing but i think itd be funny to put that at the forefront. extremely silly and low stakes fic. probably.

drift compatibility: mecha! pilot! au!! exists purely because i read 1 (one) fic about plugsuits and just went "hmnngh... mecha pilots are fun to imagine interacting with Cybertronians... also there's DRIFT compatibility... i can totally do some fucked up shit with that" and now it's spiralled wildly out of control because at some point i started thinking about Governments and Social Structures and got distracted with worldbuilding lol. i have many many many ideas and i can only hope i can string some of them together so I can EXPLODE it out of my brain either through writing or art. also theres smut that happens wayyyy down the line which ill probably end up writing first and posting separately LMAO

penance is a prison: my take on Titan AU but as a fic because my brain is so so full of thoughts abt this au. i'll probably just end up drawing a lot of these scenes instead but like. its there! partially written!! im emotions abt it!!!

self explanatory long title: human/borrower au constructicons/jazz/prowl poly. i love rare not-so-pairs a lot and im particularly fond of this set. also i just like thinking abt either jazz and prowl getting menaced by a bunch of tiny guys OR the opposite where a group of construction workers have two borrower roommates. this one is more just random idea dumps instead of a fic but still fun to think about LMAO

ALSO! MINI REC. while you wait for me to (eventually maybe) write TF fic, you should check out boostergoldishh's works on ao3 for some tasty tasty TF reader insert fics. im still planning on making a rec list but they updated today and im filled w/ much love for good writing.

and as a bonus if you got this far (thank you!!): the super secret draft chapter title for the next NEXT FF chapter because its pretty silly

if my cowriter sees this hi. ill share the doc soon but its pretty much empty, its just there to remind me whats coming next LMAO 👍

[samuelroukin]

you can't use "cum" in fanfics?? i do it all the time :o

i mean you can it's not like there are rules, like i said i have done it before and i've also read plenty of fics where it was used and liked them! but i also saw people on here saying that it's bad/better to Not. so now i try to avoid it lol

[prince-liest]

PRINCE is that a HEATHERS reference in once bitten or am I projecting my myriad of obsessions

Jesus suffering christ I can't get away with ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you heard it in the exact fucking tone of voice that Heather Duke says it in.

Warning, annoying question.

Is there any chance there is more road trip au or modern courting coming soon?

If you have already said this I am so sorry.

not an annoying question!! people asking about my wips is very validating actually it helps me rememver that people aside from me care about them. here is the thing:

multi chaptered fics are hard for me.

i get a lot of ideas all the time. most of them are short. i do not often have the patience to write longer stuff, even tho i rly rly rly want to. i need to be gently bullied. on my last big writing blog, i did this weekly thing -- on tuesday i would put out a poll with all my wips on it (well, most; at the time of doing this thing i had too many wips for the options lol), you guys would vote for the ones you want to see updated most, and on wednesday i would get the results and post that wip on wednesday. thus wip wednesday.

i havent done that on this blog yet bc i only have like six wips, which as i type does in fact seem like a decent number, and also im not sure?? if that would be presumptuous?? so.

it would be, so far, for the following wips:

the capture the flag one i started forever ago

the royal au

the naomi fic

modern courting

new rome?? fic

road trip au

so i would put them all in the poll. anyways. let me know!!

I love the whole van being unkillable thing so much bc it feels like the sort of price for her not dying is that shes in situations that should kill her way more often then than the others

The writers having full carte blanche to do what they will to Van in the 90s timeline is at once so upsetting and so funny. She could half-drown! She could be buried alive! She could fall off a mountain! It won't kill her, it's just gonna make her really mad.

Van's like "Jesus Christ, I just want to quote my movies and make out with my girlfriend, what is happening??" Meanwhile, the Wilderness is strapping her lil' voodoo doll to a paper airplane and chucking it off a cliff just to see what happens.
