#bc alec needs a break

[butterforbrain]

Lemme get this out of the drafts bc this is my favorite.

MALEC Fanfic Idea #?

Usually it's Magnus who's invited to shed his obligations, especially if his magic's exhausted and triggered by being used as a tool for others. He's welcomed to give up his power to Alexander, to pamper and ravish. Alec's words guide his magic to make him feel more, last longer, and have fun.

This time though, Alec sat in the comfort of their bed, he opened his palm with his stele presented to magnus, eyes wide and pleading. It took Magnusa moment to understand, smiling warmly.. he acknowledged the glint he got in response was Alec's invitation for him to do whatever he pleased with him. So He traced his fingers along Alec's body, when he didn't find what he'd been searching for, he asked for it to be drawn.

A Hearing rune.

It's time to introduce Alexander to the wonders of personal attention ASMR.

[leverage-ot3]

okay I’ve seen a lot of posts about sterling just being crowley and. guys. the implications just hear me out 😭😭😭

bending lore slightly here BUT let’s say crowley’s body was once inhabited by a human and crowley is possessing the body (maybe he kills the initial inhabitant bc he doesn’t care)

but he still has the guy’s memories. he doesn’t bother keeping up appearances with his ‘ex wife’ because he is too busy building up his hell empire. BUT for some reason he can’t quite identify, he still feels something towards his ‘daughter’. he lets the divorce happen and doesn’t feel the need (or desire) to fight for custody, but he can never quite forget her, to cast her out of his mind for good

some hijinks ensue with the leverage team. it’s mostly because even a grind culture demon wants some off time every once in a while, and for him the insurance investigator stuff is more of a hobby. interacting with the leverage crew is very low stakes for him, and honestly, quite amusing. they aren’t on his level power-wise, but that ford character gives him the mental exercise he hasn’t experienced in, well, he can’t even remember

he can feel their frustration and anger when they learn he has become employed by interpol and feeds off it. it’s great, and relaxing in a way he is never able to achieve while conducting hell-related business

one year he gets wind that olivia is in a really bad situation associated with his ‘ex wife’s’ new husband. he’s selling vital hardware to terrorists, and while that might actually be the kind of chaos he would normally support or be entertained by as the king of hell, something feels wrong about letting olivia stay anywhere near that man

he calls upon the body’s adversaries. he wouldn’t admit it, even under duress, BUT he feels slightly fond of them. nate for the three dimensional chess they play, sophie for her ability to charm and disguise, parker for her chaos and slightly unsettling nature (it’s the autism swag and being bad with human interaction but he doesn’t know that lol), hardison for his unapologetic intelligence and eliot for his hardened violent past and take-no-shit persona (he’s fun to tease)

they perform exactly as he expected, right into his carefully crafted plan. and then olivia is under his care and things get more complicated. he keeps her FAR, FAR away from anything related to the supernatural (heh). no one can find out about her, ESPECIALLY not those imbecile hunter brothers (if for nothing else than the embarrassment in revealing he has a weak spot)

not sure how to work it into this post but I also want to add that somewhere along the way he develops feelings for nate and sophie. the frame up job is near and dear to my heart and you can’t convince me that isn’t fighting as flirting behavior. his interpol persona is more of a side hustle so to speak, but he finds it fun (relaxing, even) to fill that role. there aren’t any obligations of other demons, bothersome hunters, or anything like that. nate and sophie are low stakes, except, they aren’t, really. they make him feel things he can’t ever really remember feeling. his heart beats fast when sophie sat in his lap and cradled his face, his hands sweat when nate gives him that certain smug look. he’s exasperated by the way they can run circles around him like no one else has ever before. they annoy him and get under his skin in a way no one else can and it’s infuriating. but also not, at the same time. maybe he likes it

and then the long goodbye job happens

hear me out and suspend your belief here for a second, because I can’t remember if crowley supernaturally knows when ppl die/are dead or not.

so nate is in interpol custody and the interviewer is obviously out of her depth. (most people are, when it comes to nathan ford.) he walks in and pours the man a drink, but he’s fuming. somewhere along the way he came to care about the team. hell and suffering is literally in his (official) job description, but he can admit (only to himself) that he admires what they do. it’s not for him, not anything close to where his passions and interests lie, but he respects their drive and purpose. he is also aware enough to acknowledge that they are a family, a group of misfits that never belonged quite anywhere except to each other.

and nate fucking blew it up, ruined it, because his vice is being so obsessed with the end game that he is apparently willing to let his team, his family, the people that anchor him to reality, die because the ends supposedly justify the means.

not this time. not to sterling crowley

he is enraged. he can admit within the confines of his mind that he cares for nate, for sophie, even for the other three (though nate and sophie have somehow made it a hierarchy where they are more important to him. which he will dissect later in private. maybe.)

nate let them die, he let sophie die, and for what? the black book? hell below, crowley would have made things easier somehow, if he knew that this was where nate’s sights had lied. he would have prevented this somehow. he wants to have prevented this. he doesn’t want any of them dead and is too afraid to check and verify because that would make it real. the idea of sophie (or any of them) somehow making it to hell instead of heaven would probably break something in him he might not be able to reapir fully.

he yells at nate- he’s angry. hellfire burning in his heart because everything is ruined. the deaths aside (however hard it is to set them aside in his mind), nate will not recover from this, not ever. this will be the start of the end, he is sure. a miserable, guilt-ridden existence where he drinks himself to death and nothing will save him. it plays out in crowley’s mind in a thousand different ways that are beyond painful to conceptualize, even in theory.

the story starts to unravel and there is a game afoot. a solemn, miserable, infuriating game because the con is still in session because parker is alive and in the building- which sets another fire alight in his chest. ‘parker even know you got hardison killed?’ he rages for her grief when she finds out. he knows it will double when she finds out eliot has perished, too, because he isn’t fucking blind.

but nate is a brilliant man, lest he forget too quickly. they are all alive, and somehow still the entire crew slips through his fingers. he’s not even angry (he never would have been- he doesn’t actually try too hard to catch them. it’s about the game, not the consequences). he lets them keep the black book because he’s fucking exhausted and honestly, they more than earned it.

‘now we’re even. tell sophie to drive carefully’. they will never be even, not really. crowley would never admit or agree that being human is the superior state of being, but that have made him feel human in a way he doesn’t actually mind. they keep him on his toes and match him in a way unique to them, they remind him that there are other things than the realm of hell. not necessarily bigger than hell, but maybe just as important in a different sense.

watching the van drive away, something inside him settles. when he walked into the interrogation room that day he thought this was the beginning of the end. it’s not the end at all, not an end to anything. it’s a continuation of their story. maybe, he thinks, a beginning to a new era in it

[im-ovulating]

If those last spots aren’t full yet: Bouncing on Alecs cock like a trampoline while he whimpers bc it’s been hours and he’s so close but he hasn’t been given permission to finish yet, and the feeling of readers cunt clenching every time THEY come isn’t helping him. Maybe he lost a bet or something he he had to be the submissive one for once

(A/n: Kinktober Day 7/15! It's looking like I'm finally going to finish kinktober (for once)!!!)

Warnings: FemDom, Begging, Edging, Subby(?)! Alec, Creampie, Not Proofread

Age Rating: 18+ Minors DNI

Alec Volturi x Dom! Fem! Reader: Beg For It

-----------------------

Alec can feel your inner walls clenching and releasing around his cock, each time driving him to the brink of ecstasy. But you show no sign of slowing down.

Alec couldn't help but beg you. "Please, Amore mio," he pleaded, his voice hoarse from the effort of holding himself back; from taking control of the situation until you're the one that's desperately begging. But he doesn't, He'll allow you to have your fun just this once. "Allow me to cum. I can't take much more of this."

You smile down at him, a wicked grin that would send shivers down his spine were he still human. "Oh, Alec," you purred. "You're mine to control tonight, remember? You'll cum when I allow it."

The feeling of your tight, wet pussy clenching around him is almost too much for Alec to bear.

You lean forward to kiss him deeply, your hands slipping up his chest to tangle in his hair as you pause your grinding. You tug his head back forcefully and kiss your way along his jaw, "Just enjoy the ride..." You whisper against his ear before sitting up straight again.

Your body starts moving in a slow, sensual rhythm again, milking Alec's cock with each forward roll of your hips. The feeling of his cock twitching inside of you is exquisite, and you savor it. You know that Alec is on the brink of release, and you intend to make him wait as long as possible.

His pleading voice echoes in your ears like sweet music. "Y/n," he begs, his voice raw with need. "Please. Let me cum, just once is all I'm asking. You can have your fun, just let me cum one time..."

You never thought that hearing your mate sound so desperate, so... weak... would be this exhilarating. And the knowledge that you're the one that brought him to this -that you, a measly human, could reduce such a powerful creature to begging you so sweetly- is a power trip you never could have anticipated.

"You're so close, aren't you?" you whisper, running your fingers through his hair. "But not yet."

You lean back and begin to ride him again, your pace picking up slowly, every glide of your wet cunt around his cock driving Alec's pleasure higher and higher. You can feel him throbbing inside you, desperate for release, but you ignore it, chasing your own pleasure as you male him wait for his.

"Please," Alec begs again, his voice hoarse and pleading. "Y/n, I can't-" "You can," You interrupt, grinding down deeply before picking up the pace again. "Don't you want to be a good boy for me?" You fake a pout before breaking out into a small laugh. "It doesn't matter if you want to, you're my good boy tonight and you'll do as I say."

The low warning growl he releases is undercut by the way his hips kick up into you at the assertion. "Ah, ah, ah~" You chastise. "Careful, I don't like attitude, and I'd hate to have to leave you like this. Something tells me fucking your fist wouldn't satisfy you nearly as much as filling this pussy does."

You can see as he physically bites down on his tongue, swallowing whatever rebuttal he was going to throw your way. You can only grin down at him as he glares up at you with his piercing crimson gaze; a muscle ticks in his jaw and he begrudgingly smooths out his expression.

"Good boy," you smirk, and lean down to whisper against his ear. "Now behave."

You speed up, your inner walls clenching down around Alec's cock in time with your hips. Each thrust sends a shockwave of pleasure through his body, and you can see him struggling to maintain control.

You begin to quicken your pace, your hips slapping against Alec's cock harder and harder. You can feel him struggling to hold back now, his cock twitching more erratically inside you as it fights against the onslaught of pleasure.

A stuttered, choked sound leaves you and you clutch at his shoulders as you feel your own orgasm building. "I'm gonna cum again..." You moan, your voice shaking. You can feel it, right there at the tip of your pleasure, ready to spill out over you both.

"Let me cum with you..." Alec pleads, grasping your hips so he can rub small circles with his thumbs. His voice is soft in a way you've never heard before and it knocks you off your power trip real fast.

You shudder and grab onto his shoulders, pulling yourself upwards as you feel your orgasm crash over you. "Alec…" You moan, your body trembling with the force of it. You can feel his cock twitching inside you and it's too much; you're still sensitive from your previous orgasms and, as much as you want to prolong your dominance, you just know the feeling of his cum being pumped deep inside of you would be the cherry on top of this delicious feeling.

"Amore-" You don't let him finish before you nod. "Yes... Yes, you can cum, please cum-"

You barely finish speaking before your muscles clench down around him and you both climax, your walls squeezing him tightly as he fills you with his cum. You cry out in pleasure as you feel him pulsing inside you, your body shuddering with the force of the orgasm.

You collapse onto him, your breathing ragged as you try to catch your breath. The second you stop moving and relax your weight, the exertion of riding him for so long finally catches up and turns your legs jelly, using the draining of adrenaline to finally catch up.

For a moment, you just lay there, catching your breath and savoring the feeling of him inside you. Then, with a soft smile, you press up and kiss him gently on the lips. "See?" you whisper. "I told you you'd be a good beggar," You tease.

Alec chuckles softly, his head falling back against the pillows with a exasperated huff. "I'll never live that down, will I?" He asks, his voice still raspy from his release.

"Probably not," You agree, a playful grin returning to your face. "But it was worth it, right?"

He groans, rolling his eyes playfully. "Oh, shut up," he says, giving you a soft shove before rolling to his side and pulling you into his chest.

jace being simon’s defender/guard dog will never not be funny to me:

1. we have all of cofa, especially that scene where him and jordan argue and he’s like uh i can protect him all by myself tysm

2. “i could have killed you” “i would have let you”

3. cog when jace tried breaking simon out of prison

4. tftsa when jace visits to train him/check up on him

5. in the land i lost where he’s like simon did just fine when lily tells alec that simon didn’t bite him right

6. in tlbotw when simon wants to go home

7. when jace threatens asmodeus to back off from simon in cohf

and most of these were because of clary initially but we all know the rest are because simon is jace’s only real non-family/gf friend lmao

i really hope we get scene where jace finally admits that he cares about simon or at least considers simon a close friend in the kickstarter books or even the black volume of the dead or something bc it’s just so amusing

LIKE ALINE THINKING JACE WAS IN LOVE WITH SIMON!! that was comedy gold.

i love jimon goodbye

EXACTLYYYYYYY. Jimon is for LIFERSSSS. I’m glad I have other people who throughly enjoyed Jace and Simons ‘friendship’ as much as I do!! I always thought it was underrated in the fandom.

I’m a truther that Simon was Jace’s best friend in a sense (Alec is like his brother, his parabatai there on a whole other level than best friendship I fear)

Also Jace constantly calling Simon “his” or “our” whenever someone tried to kidnap… STAND UP JACE HERONDALE!! Also when Jace said he enjoyed it when Simon bit him😭😭 TOO FUNNY.

Also, from what is implied, the only TMI gang members that survive in Thule ARE Simon and Jace!! “I’ll kill you jace herondale” - Thule Simon. When I say I need ANGST when these two meet again? Exactly. I will NOT be satisfied unless Thule!Simon is the one to kill Jace, that’s all I want in TWP!

TYSM FOR THE ASK!!!!!!! Jimon is one the best friendships in TSC exactly 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

dcas ep7 rant abt ashley

tw: character hate, light cursing, s3ep7 slight spoilers

htjfhdhfhhfnshshshs i hate ashley. i hate her sm i want her to explode rjdnhdmzjaHSBSJSKZBR

girl did not have the right to hold a grudge against a child for outsmarting her tf. like i can understand alec bc yk ep12 and all but ASHLEY?????

"b-b-but in the beta---" THE BETA IS NOT CANON. if it was, ashley's actions would be justified. but it doesnt exist in canon. its js season one, where all fiore did was outsmart and break up the alliance.

mfs be saying "ashley is so nice!!" yeah she's so nice!!!! bc nice people wish death upon children!!!!!

also. this makes her js as bad as fiore. using someone and then throwing them away when you dont need them??? SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

i wish rosa got into all stars instead of shitley dude 😢

in total, ashley's a petty bitch who doesn't know how to not hold a grudge towards a child who only outsmarted her two years ago. i hate ashley now shes at the bottom of the tier list case closed.

thoughts on dcas e9

elimination (& cyan team)

tess is just hands-down the best person on this show. as soon as they revealed the joint elimination i was pretty sure she was going home bc it made sense for gabby to join the villains and tess was the most likely candidate

that said she was so mature and genuine throughout this episode and is maybe the only person who just refuses to get caught up in the drama. i'm so curious to see ally's reaction and how it compares to hunter's elimination.

i do think this guarantee's cyan team can't lose again before the merge, although merge is probably soon so that doesn't necessarily matter. tom and aiden is an interesting alliance in this game bc they're so close but really only with each other, and i think might have a hard time building bridges post merge as well.

also i get why gabby is the way she is but she is very much a type of person i find very frustrating irl (specifically the "how can you expect me to not take ellie's elimination as a personal attack?" stuff) which i think is why i'm not enjoying her character as much as i'd like

tomjake (& magenta team)

kudos to aiden for calling tom out on the boyfriend lie so they could actually talk about it and maybe work through something

i do think it's funny how tom finally got to be like "okay i should actually address this" but jake is at the point of "the only reason you'd be bringing that up in the middle of a challenge is to distract me." miscommunication kings

also i would like to see jake and ally become friends. i think they could do it. idk if they will.

yulgrett (& yellow team)

god i need this man out of the team. actually i think i really need grett on a better team. i totally get why she's not standing up for herself but she needs better support- riya telling her yul's a shithead was good but she was so mean about it :( give grett a friend!

alec being a comically bad father tho is so funny "oh i couldn't enjoy the beach bc my son got badly injured in a sandbox and i didn't notice or care bc i was busy reading. so sad for me :("

predictions

i'm thinking maybe one more challenge before the merge, that i'd expect yellow team to lose. i don't think cyan or magenta can lose again now, cyan bc they'd boot gabby which kills her narrative too early, and magenta bc jake and ally both have Stuff going on (love triangle and tess leaving) that feel like they need to play out more (and ashley wouldn't go home).

(i guess cyan could lose if gabby had immunity, but i doubt that)

reason i'm not expecting the merge next episode: with gabby joining the villains it'd be a 5v5 split of villains/non-villains, and i just don't see tom/jake/aiden working together this soon, especially if the best they can do is tie. it makes more sense to me that they'd cut out one of yellow team (probably yul, if grett can finally stand up to him) so that post-merge it's 4v5 and they have the drama of "non-villains have to ALL work together to win"

i think villain drama will blow up completely next episode regardless, and most likely yul goes home. there may also be something with the bit at the end about rule breaking, which i'm guessing was emily helping yul? but idk how that'll play into it.

i think ally will be way more torn up about tess leaving than she was about hunter (that's been my prediction since hunter got out). they could do something interesting with her and jake's respective relationship drama.

[alexanderlightweight]

Could you write jealous dark Alec? Maybe someone tries flirting with Magnus and ends up foaming at the mouth bc Alec poisoned them

here we go, this is the closest i could come up with because most people in the downworld aren't stupid enough to try and seduce a devoted magnus

i hope you enjoy! this is dressed to kill - mob!wife alec au

-

Alec watches until the woman puts her hand on Magnus’ shoulder and then he moves. Silently, quickly, and then her fingers are snapping back and she’s screaming, face contorted in agony.

Behind his cool mask, he winces, because he always forgets how fragile mundanes are but honestly, she shouldn’t have been touching Magnus.

There’s absolute silence and then a gasp and more screams and Magnus is standing and grabbing Alec.

—

“Darling, did you chip a nail?” Magnus asks worriedly, because he made Alexander get a magical manicure and his boy will never forgive him suffering through the ordeal of being lectured on color patterns if they don’t last a little mutilation.

“Did I?” Alexander asks, apparently not even realizing that was a possibility, “I just got them done today, Magnus. How could they be chipped already? I was guaranteed that they’ll survive anything but acid.”

Magnus blinks, because he did not know that and on second look, the nails aren’t chipped. “Oh, well they’re fine then.” He turns and glares because this entire thing could have easily been avoided. “Really Leo, I thought your people know better by now.”

“My people do.” Leo says, voice tight and Magnus wonders what they look like from a mundane perspective, before deciding that he really just doesn’t care.

“My husband should never endure seeing someone else touch me.” Magnus says casually, carefully and he smiles as Alexander wraps his arms around Magnus’ waist. “And I shouldn’t have to suffer anyone else’s touch. So, make it clear to your guests, or you’ll have a bigger problem than this.”

Alexander smirks against Magnus’ neck and Magnus just knows that his boy is practically purring on the inside.

“Tell Mari the flowers were a lovely touch.” Alexander murmurs, a note of humor in voice. “Especially the ones by the windows.”

“What was that about?” Magnus asks, curious because Alexander doesn’t normally go out of his way like that. “Did you like the arrangements?”

“No. I just wanted to remind her of something, an inside joke.” Alexander says, like that explains anything and Magnus chuckles, deciding to figure it out later.

—

“Leo, remember how I told you that one day you’d need to know what happened that night, but that you didn’t need to know yet?”

“Alec killed the guard after the guard grabbed me. He’d made some crass comments about Alec and I and seemed to think Alec wouldn’t be a threat, being Bane’s husband.” Mari swallows, “he lifted him by the throat and tossed him, one handed over the balcony and onto the security fence. He didn’t even break a sweat Leo. I’ve never seen someone that strong or that fast and he was in heels.”

“I’ll deal with it. Make it clear people can’t try to get to Bane through seduction.”

“If you don’t make it clear, Alec will, and you saw how Bane reacted. Alec could have killed that woman and Bane would have wiped the blood off of his hands and worried over his nails.”

Leo winces, because he really would rather not think about how terrifying the two of them are and if he had any hope that one of them reigned the other in, it’s gone now.

[lakesbian]

“I just don’t get why you want me,” I said, “I control bugs. That’s not going to stop Alexandria, Glory Girl or Aegis.”

I know I said I wasn't going to go for the low-hanging fruit when it comes to knowing turns to the camera. But this is really juicy low hanging fruit.

“Honey,” Lisa said, “Entire teams of capes have gone up against Lung and got their asses handed to them. That you managed as well as you did is fantastic. The fact that the asshole is lying in a hospital bed because of you is the icing on the cake.”

first time she calls her Honey is fucking. 2.6. in response to taylor's insecurity. [staring off into the distance] the thing about pity is that it's condescending by default

god. 2.6 is really good i forgot how much i loved seeing these little guys interacting w each toher. i think the point of lisa's longwinded explanation of how badly taylor fucked lung up probably is supposed to serve the two purposes of 1. talking her up to herself and 2. while doing so, hammering in how violent she was and setting those first seeds of doubt about her inability to continue hacking it as a hero. if that Was what lisa was trying to do, she did so very successfully, bc taylor does think:

I closed my eyes. I could see my reputation going down the tubes.

“You’d better hope he doesn’t escape,” Alec said, his voice still quiet but bemused, “Because if someone made my man bits fall off, I’d be out for blood.” Brian pinched the bridge of his nose, “Thank you for that, Alec.  Way you two are going, our potential recruit is going to run off to have a panic attack before the idea of becoming an Undersider even crosses her mind.” “How do you know this?” I asked, within a heartbeat of the thought crossing my mind.  When Brian turned my way with an expression like he thought he had said something to offend me, I clarified, “Tattletale, or Lisa, or whatever I’m supposed to call you.  How do you know this stuff about Lung… or about the fact that I was at the Library, or that the cape was on his way, last night?”

leans over whispers to the crowd. alec isn't necessarily specifically attached to having a dick vs having a pussy but he would say this nonetheless. i love brian here i love how he is literally A Teenage Criminal but he still can't refrain from treating this like an actual job interview and becoming so exasperated when anyone is candid about the level of danger involved in being A Teenage Criminal. or even when they you know. act like a teenager. immediately worried he had done something to offend taylor! breaking out the brianisms when feels the need to help the team succeed (because the team succeeding = him being able to care for aisha). i like him. worlds first 40yo 17yo.

Share the Disventure Camp thoughts Geo. Also, now that you've seen both seasons, what are your All Stars predictions?

oliver was one of the best parts of the season and i loved him so much ohhh the skrunkle

aiden & james were my favorite characters i think! <333 i really liked their development i love gay people i screamed at their first real kiss

it took a while for me to get used to every character because of their mics and acting. some of the acting was not believable at all and was the reason i dislikes some characters for a bit (cough rosa maria cough) before eventually warming up to them. it’s clear they improved a lot and found better actors for season 1. i’m curious how the S2 actors will be in S3.

maggy was genuinely annoying and not just because of her voice. sorry :(

lake was amazing!! i loved her arc!

connor was a good guy and i liked him, but i wouldn’t have brought him back for all-stars and i definitely wouldn’t have paired him with riya. that 21 year age gap is not looking good.

I LOVED HUNTESSALLY SO MUCH OH MY GOD THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO ME POLY REPRESENTATION IN MEDIA IS THE BEST STOP I WILL CRY OMGMGMGMGGM why are they fighting in the S3 opening. someone save me. huntessally stay strong. STAY STRONG!!!!!

WHY IS YUL YELLOW 💀 also i hated his ass “a latina stealing why doesn’t that surprise me” NAH MF YOU CANNOT BE REDEEMED I’M SORRY MAN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN 💀

anyone wanna talk about how weird some challenges were? no? like making people kiss other people just for a challenge? i know it’s fiction but? what if someone is uncomfortable with it? yk? my aro ass couldn’t watch most of those scenes like ik it was to make some ships kiss and probably appeal to the fans but nah. you lost me brah. and outing aiden (while not specifically saying his name but yk) like. wow. this is. not fun! weird episodes

karol fuck you

riya, thin ice, i like you for your assholery but leaving aiden hanging left ME hanging as a fan of both. sadge

ally should’ve been a scene kid that’s all i came here to say

[raymurata]

So who's your most problematic one?

Okay. So I've done Alec, Kelp, and Oak, so really the only one left is Tarlyn, who I honestly think is indeed my most problematic guy (gender neutral)

First of all, he's dead. Best get this out of the way. He is doomed by the narrative and bitches would die mad about it.

Then, let's talk about "guy (gender neutral)". He's an nb amab character who never questioned his gender and therefore used he/him all his life, so basically we're all misgendering him somehow so this is problematic.

His whole story is dark and edgy and awfully problematic. This sad wet rag of a boy covered in glitter never had a break; he was tormented by his mother his whole life and he never stopped loving her.

And that's not even touching on his actions yet. This anxious pixie nightmare boy is a spoiled LIL BITCH who thinks (or at least acts) like he's larger than life and better than everyone because that's the only way he can cope with his loneliness, looking at everyone as if they are beneath him. He is an arrogant bastard who genuinely thinks his nobility means he is entitled to his luxury, and that his intelligence makes him superior, and that his command of magic makes him deserving of accolades and applause and praise. But that's just to cover up his abysmal lack of self esteem, his vulnerability and his need for connection.

He is never nice to other people unless they're of higher status than him, or important in some way, otherwise he is either catty and rude or just uninterested and aloof. He unknowingly yearns for someone to love him (granted, abuse has made him incapable of identifying, let alone giving love), but whenever someone is nice in any way, he can't believe it is real and reads it as interest, as them wanting something in return. He reduces everyone into shrewd social-climbers in his eyes (thus insulting them) bc that's what his family is.

He insults his servants, he wears blood jewelry (and a bunch of it), he is vain and petty and snobbish and finicky, he uses magic to spy on people, he never prepared a single meal in his entire 150 years of life, he was over 100 years old when he started questioning whether it was really true that short-lived races are inferior to elves. He is a poor little meow meow born and raised and abused by multimillionaire right wing conservatives. My boy Tarlyn would vocally defend Trump in a modern au, what more do you need me to say? He is Problematic.

He spends a lot of time overthinking and questioning his family in his mind, but he never actually does anything to change shit.

Negative intervention wizard all the way. He doesn't start bullying anyone, but his friends do and they count on his magic to execute it, and he delivers. He was witness to {redacted}, designed a destructive magical item to be used by foot soldiers in an attack against the neighbouring nation, witnessed workers being gravely injured in his family's mines, and possibly even more! What other shit will we discover Tarlyn did?? The horrors are not over yet weeee!

And then, to escape all this shit, this extremely romantic asexual bitch (who needs to like someone to enjoy sex with them) seeks out sex with randos!! Because he is so lonely and he copies his jackass friends and his jackass brother and he is a people pleaser and he doesn't know how to set boundaries.... But he is so intelligent he convinces himself love is not real (he's never fucking seen it! Only in fiction! So it must!!! Be!!! Fake!!!!) and that he does want sex, when in reality he wants kisses and cuddles.... And he keeps getting in (or remaining in) these situations where he just proves it to himself that people only want to use him/his body/his magic/his position (whether that's true or not, he always manages to see it that way), thus confirming his cynical expectations and keeping himself miserable.

And that's not mentioning {redacted}.

Tarlyn wins my Problematic OC of the Decade Award!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I hope your birthday was fruitful, Sir Alec. I've thought of you often while I have been away. It's become quite troublesome to come up with what to write, seems like I've hit a creative impasse which is why I've been absent.

You're writings are always something I look forward to, regardless of what they may pertain. They're very insightful and provide new outlooks to certain subjects and matters.

On another note, I think the time to make myself known is nearing. With a hefty amount of my silly rambles, as I previously hoped to accumulate, I hope they will offer you some entertainment.

Take care, Sir Alec. Remember to drink and eat plenty throughout your day, with some much needed rest at the end of it.

-Гора (until then I'll try to finish up the last chapters of 'the silent patient')

It was a very lovely birthday sugar bee mostly because I received a gift that meant the world to little old me🥹 also it genuinely seems like all of us are in a writing slump I wonder what it depends on. Is it bc everyone’s on summer break so there aren’t many ideas to bounce off of 😭 either way I hope we all can get to creating again🫶🏻

Sugar bee you’re too sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate them! I think this is the fanciest way someone has said they like my piss fics! But either way I’m happy to have shown you a glimpse of it!

Well hello!! That sounds exciting sugar bee!! I can’t wait to read your lovely fics!! You make sure to take care of yourself as well!! And have a lovely day/ night angel!!

behind the scenes: Boss Babysitter

with the most recent chapter of Heart Hollow being released (Boss Babysitter), I thought I'd share some insights into my creation, writing, and notetaking for it.

caution: this post contains spoilers!

Welcome to Boss Babysitter; Mr. Andrei Wright decides he needs to come back down to the Hotel's floor after his Assistant Manager - Lewis Lockheart - destroys company property in an emotional overflow. Zeke, still processing having seen his orderly manager snap, has to join the two managers throughout daily tasks at Heart Hollow Hotel. The three of them oversee maintenance, attempt to review an end-of-week-report, and have a meeting with housekeeping. Not even halfway through the day, Mr. Wright decides it's time for lunch; Zeke offers him a cigarette outside in order to give the two managers some space. One questionable conversation later, Zeke trudges back inside to enjoy Lewis' company for the remainder of his break. After a brief history lesson and some comments that are just a bit too sweet for coworkers, Zeke and Lewis' attention is brought outside as Andrei Wright gets arrested for fraud.

the earliest mention of this chapter was from the very first Heart Hollow master arc list (dated 2019 or so). a lot of things have changed, but I knew from the get-go that Andrei was going to be arrested.

fun fact: when i was originally creating Heart Hollow in 2019, I was taking a much more adult-comedy-cartoon route. there was, in fact, going to be a shoot-out as (gasp) the FBI and (even bigger gasp) the IRS show up!!! i decided to scrap that. it just doesn't match the "real-life" drama route im taking now lol

the arc list from november 2021 is one of the first redrafts of the story after my 2-year art block.... the one from april 2022 was after I started making the comic. again, lots of things have changed, but I always outlined space for an episode revolving around Andrei's arrest

here's me brainstorming potential chapter names. i recall struggling with the name because i liked a lot of my options; however, i eventually stuck to "Boss Babysitter"

........

(eheheh it's a play on the hit DreamWorks film "The Boss Baby" featuring Alec Baldwin as "The Boss Baby")

the first idea on what i wanted the meat of the chapter to be about. i wanted to really put the nail in the coffin about Andrei's mismanagement and how that's been affecting Lewis.

more exploration into what the chapter was to be about. i find this one curious, actually, as this was from my earlier notebook (2021-2022) so I guuuuueeeeess I had a pretty good grasp on this chapter early on......??? thank god for notebooks bc it's really hard to keep everything crammed up in my brain.

the chapter before it ("The Heart of Heart Hollow") concluded on Lewis punching the employee bathroom's mirror. i had to bring up the aftermath, how Zeke was managing having seen that. i also wanted to touch upon Lewis' return back, and how unlike him it is to take an impromptu vacation like that. i knew even in the earliest drafts of this scene, that Lewis was going to lie about where he got his wounds from.

early sketches of Lewis' arrival after his impromptu vacation. these lil thumbnails make me giggle.... theyre just so silly lookin.

i also needed to consider how their day was spent with Andrei joining them. i broke it down piece by piece here, scene by scene. i love my additions of dialogue within my loose ideas. it really brings momentum to my writing process.

also, sidenote: can I just say that I do not hold the same beliefs as Andrei? he's a shit head and i wanted to make his character very uncomfortable to be around.

the scene between Andrei and Zeke was one I've had planned for years. it was so euphoric to finally write it out and send it out into the world. here's the snippet where he outwardly admits to his white collar crime.

for the longest time, I was going to reveal that Zeke was living at the Hotel at the very end of "Boss Babysitter"..... however, when I was writing the aftermath of the mirror break (in "The Heart of Heart Hollow"), I thought it appropriate to include Zeke's squatter status. the drama of the story starts to tie itself together as we witness Lewis do something dangerous and impulsive, and learn something rather confidential about Zeke. we start to wonder: who are these characters? what have they gone through to lead them here?

lastly...... just a little doodle of Andrei in prison garb. i love that he's let his beard grow a bit more.

Final Thoughts:

[carmenlire]

I've had this taegyu idea floating around since january but I'll readily admit that it is extremely similar to httbt so like on one hand I am absolutely a reader who often thinks "man I wanna read what I just read but new" plus it's in an entirely different fandom but on the other hand like it's literally rockstar beomgyu and probably math teacher taehyun (or maybe grad student, potentially gym owner?).

(lowkey i ended up like fully plotting out the fic/recapping my twt thread so i'm putting the rest under a cut lol.)

like whereas alec was a top 40 sensation solo pop artist, very much channeling biggest name in the industry, beomgyu would be frontman for an indie/niche band (honestly i'm picturing chase atlantic 100% whereas alec was like a tswift) but his band still sells out its tours and is somewhere on the charts, making a very respectable sum.

Beomgyu is feeling ennui, uninspired, very jaded but in a more. . . angsty way than alec? i imagine this fic to be darker/more emotional than httbt with A Big Conflict towards the end where one of them severely fucks up in classic fic fashion.

of course, i've already thought of the opening scene and it makes me realize how totally predictable i am because it's an extremely late night/early morning run-in where taegyu are obviously at very different points in their lives but they have A Conversation and it's the first time beomgyu has felt interested/intrigued by something in forever and taehyun-- actually here's a difference-- he actually has no idea who beomgyu/his band is. beomgyu, ofc, likes that. taehyun just sees a hot guy who's a little fucked up but aren't we all.

looking at my twt thread, i talk a lot about how during that first meeting, beomgyu talks a lot in half-truths, unsure if he can trust taehyun and taehyun is just blunt as always, very no bullshit. they both walk away feeling amped up-- beomgyu feels a little bit like he got an ass kicking, a breath of fresh air and taehyun is intrigued in his own way about this guy who's full of contradictions.

they keep running into each other at the park at these really intimate hours (beomgyu clearing his head/going out whenever there's less of a chance of him being seen and taehyun on his morning runs). eventually one morning, the sun is shining when they both look up and taehyun recommends a lowkey breakfast spot he knows nearby.

despite there clearly being something between them, beomgyu isn't in a place to be in a relationship and taehyun is up front about what he wants/needs and they both respect the other. of course, that doesn't stop them from growing closer until they're like best friends.

constantly texting, both of them start to depend on the other-- on their phone calls, a few minutes of stolen time, on finding the most out of the way restaurants with the best samgyeopsal.

everyone around them knows Something's going on even if taegyu remain infuriatingly tightlipped, both of them wanting to protect this thing between them. the secret relationship aspect is a lot more illicit in this than it was in httbt-- there might not be tabloids to worry about but beomgyu's had a lot of years in the business to grow jaded even if he wishes he could be as open as taehyun. There are some growing pains even if they are both fully invested/committed, even if beomgyu loves being with taehyun and can't get enough.

i'm picturing a classic fic blow-up thanks to beomgyu's rockstar past (?) clashing with taehyun's firm stance on open communication and no bullshit (the blow-up is nothing out of the usual for fic but bc i tend to really love Healthy Communication, i've never written this kinda conflict before but i do think it'll actually fit this au setup and not merely be an excuse for angst lol).

anyway, they totally break up over That Mess and cue beomgyu losing it a little. he gets drunk, writes songs about taehyun, implicitly dedicates those songs to him on stage. he hooks up with someone and feels fucking awful.

he ends up eventually (let's be real they'll probably only be broken up for like a month bc i can't do too much angst lol) doing some soul searching/reflecting on the past months with taehyun and realizing the error of his ways (and even as he was doing it, he was kicking himself bc he didn't even mean the words, he didn't wanna hurt taehyun but his mouth just started without his brain and heart's input rip).

meanwhile taehyun is totally heartbroken (while he seems fine on social media he's kinda falling apart irl) but he was always up front about what he needed from beomgyu if they were gonna do this and he won't bend his own needs and worth just to be with beomgyu.

obviously happy ending!!!! and you know i'll have to include some serious established relationship fluff to make up for all the pain :')

all of which to say..... like i know the premise is very similar to httbt and i feel like there's even more of a spotlight on it since it is obviously my most prolific work (which did also come from a chase atlantic song lmao) but there are differences too???? so like i should just write what i want right?? like especially because i'm worried about being too close to my own work, like it doesn't even matter? and there are some key differences? idk :( i just know i really like the idea.

[buffyspeak]

okay all that stuff from earlier being said malec’s making up/getting back together scene is cute though. and their kiss! under the paper lantern lights and emotional swelling music. like i DO think they should’ve been a part longer (even if that meant their being a time gap between their break upnand now) and that this conversation doesn’t cut it in terms of what they need to talk about. but it’s a start and it’s sweet.

often statements similar to “i don’t think i can live without you” are Bothersome and for good reason but. i don’t mind so much here. but alec’s not saying it as a threat, he’s not saying it as an “if you tell me no i’ll aggressively try to win you back” thing. he’s being brave here! he’s doing the whole Emotional Vulnerability (tm) thing, at the risk of magnus totally shutting him down and walking away again. but he does it anyway! it’s that whole not having much pride when it comes to the people he loves thing. if there is one thing that is true and good about alec, it’s that he Tries.

and magnus Also struggles with being vulnerable like that (for totally different reasons - emotionally vulnerability actually comes fairly natural to alec but he shoved that part of himself away for the first 20 years of his life because he lives in a utilitarian society that demanded that of him; magnus for his part can portray somewhat of a Facade of emotional vulnerability, but is more the type to encourage others to do so while drowning hos own feelings out with magic and alcohol and parties and relationships bc trauma!) so he sees how lost alec is and how much he’s trying and he decides to try again too. because what the hell. and that is very human and real of both of them!

JOAN CALLING KINCAID KINNY JOAN CALLING KINCAID KINNY JOAN CALLING KINCAID KINNY JOAN CALLING KINCAID KINNY JOAN

Idk what Régine is on, but I kinda like it👀👀. Her warning Joan of what they had planned?? My girl is getting her redemption arc??

“Jonathan,” the man held out a callused hand. “Jonathan Shadowhunter.” FFS FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT IT WAS ALBERT!!!! I SCREAMED AND HAD WAR FLASHBACKS OMFG. After he said he was Jonathan I WAS RELIEVED IF THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH I HATE THAT BITCH 😡😡

I will only focus on Iris and Abigail's friendship and ignore the world collapsing, don't mind me they are now my everything :))

The man was really exquisite – which was apparently a word you can use to refer to your professional relationships too. I got kicked out of a class because I couldn't stop laughing at this 😞, I don't regret it, but my humor is broken now JAHDHHSUAHDDJSAK

Also hellooooo Miguel👀👀👀👀. Thank the angeI speak spanish

I need answers from Hermes!!!!!

I am 99% sure it was David who changed the canon event, it can't be Alec, Max or Rafael... Lance can't go through a portal by himself, and he aparently didn't know Arthur died... It could be Magnus but idk!!!!

“Mom!” the boy gasped out softly and threw himself at Isabelle, making the other woman freeze in shock. I MF CALLED IT!! From the moment Iris said all the Resurected were young and killed so suddenly (which makes sense bc Arthur was the same, and in changing his death they changed the canon events of those similar. So fucking brilliant!!), I knew Max would also come back 🥺🥺

He was screaming as if he was in agony. I really should stop reading this while I'm in public, it's becoming embarassing to cry that much outside...

I'm still so confused about Arthur and Magnus' dreams!! I thought I figured it out but turns out I'm still confused af 😭

Because he was dead. Because he is dead. He is dead. /// “You were born to kill him, and I was born to love him,” Arthur smiled tiredly. “There is no destiny, Kincaid. This was never meant to be.” /// “Arthur, please,” Kincaid said hoarsely, putting a hand on the barrier. “I love you.” “I love Lance more,” Arthur replied and turned around. “Goodbye, Kincaid.”

It's fine :) It's not as if I'm freaking tf out because there's one chapter and the epilogue left :) Totally not breaking apart :) Completely not devastated by every new ending of a chapter or POV :) Obviously unrelated that I will be going insane until next chapter :))))))

I finished the outline of the next chappy and yeah it's something hehehe. ALSO IT'S THE LAST ONE :(
