Thank you for the fun request my 🐮 lovebug anon!!! ♡

♡ Suo’s an observant guy – within just hanging out with eachother a handful of times, he already noticed the little yawns that you cover your hand with or the sudden bursts of blinking that you do when you find yourself nodding off.
♡ The first time he notices it, he thinks that maybe you’ve just had a restless night … but then he sees you a couple days later and he’s seeing it again.
♡ Now he’s noticing it every time you guys are together (and even when you’re not).
♡ Sometimes you’ll be texting and it’ll go silent on your end for at least 30 minutes to an hour or two – and then he’ll get a little ping from his phone and it’s you apologizing and saying that you just woke up from a nap.
♡ He won’t admit that he thinks it’s cute and turns it on you instead.
♡ “I guess I’m not interesting enough to keep you awake :(“
♡ And then the teasing transcends from text to in-person.
♡ He sees you try to hide your little yawn by turning your face into your shoulder and he’s going in.
♡ “Oh? Is it nap time?”
♡ “Was that a yawn, my sleepy girl?”
♡ His favorite thing about teasing you while you’re tired is that you simply don’t have enough energy to banter back with him – all you can do is pout and slowly blink at him (you’re angry in lowercase).
♡ He hates that he’s weak for it.
♡ “Don’t be silly, lay on my shoulder.”
♡ For as much as he teases you though, he’s just as thoughtful.
♡ If you both are out with everyone, he’s already set a curfew in mind for when you both should leave so that you can rest.
♡ “Are you ready to leave, sleepyhead?”
♡ Absolutely loves tucking you in – it’s so domestic and sickeningly sweet but sometimes you’ll mutter a soft “thank you” and it has his heart beating just a tad faster.
♡ Bonus points: pull on his sleeve when he’s about to leave and he’s smitten.
♡ “Ah, well if you insist, love.”
♡ “Come on – scoot over, sleepy girl.” 
♡ If you enjoy drinking coffee, he likes that too.
♡ There’s just something about looking down and seeing his cup of tea next to your coffee – like coffee is just so you and tea is just so him. 
♡ When you lay your head in his lap, he melts at the sight. Sometimes he’ll just appreciate your beauty while you doze off. 
♡ He listens to your soft breathing and runs his hands through your hair. If he’s in the mood, will let his eyes close alongside yours.
♡ Anytime you have plans together, always asks if you’re up for it. If you’re just too tired – that’s okay! 
♡ He would never want you to push your body or force yourself to do something that you don’t have the energy for – simply just pats your head and asks what you’d like to do instead.
♡ Despite what you would think, doesn’t get mad at all that you fall into fits of sleep when you’re around him – because he gets to make sure that you’re resting.

having shri’iia thoughts as one does bc GUESS who’s save file completely died when the new patch came out nooo we have to replay her again 🤭 alas. just stewing on the thought of how she never got to fuck her Mistress even though she wanted to…!!!! like she was out there getting psychologically tortured and mind broken but she was just like WHY won’t you fuck me im literally doing everything for you. which is so bad for her, woman who already has an excruciatingly low self worth because she missed the mark on the standard for lolth’s children (and that’s worse than not fitting in the standard at all) by something out of her own control btw (not being born in a noble house) but she’s been recognised and blessed by her goddess, and she’s been invited to join a drow house so everything should be good right?? she should be desirable right?? finally everything is correct and well and good and the way it should be right????? but no..!! it’s not..!! and so she’s doing everything for this woman, no dignity left, literally doing anything to get her approval, to be told that she’s finally enough, and she’s finally fitting in - and she gets it sometimes, she gets ignored most times tbh and it’s just this painful excruciating stew of self loathing and insecurity that she’s in, and she’s in there for a century but the thing is she can’t even give up. it’s not in her nature to. and she’s done too much to just give up , and she’s been doing this for a long time that she can’t give up and lolth didn’t raise no quitters so she sticks by it, trying to achieve that hopeless praise. but then one day she gets dropped like nothing, everything she’s done and suffered and worked towards and sacrificed gets thrown out bc her goddess isn’t pleased with her and good luck going home btw you’re not welcome here anymore bc ur pathetic. the rug gets pulled under her feet and she’s left in this strange world that she can barely navigate in let alone speak the language and u expect her to b fine with that…?
#I rlly want to. hmm maybe make a comic or draw something abt shri’iia in the tiefling party#^ bc that is the turmoil currently and she’s PANICKING …!!!!#but she can’t show it. she can’t give herself away. so she gets DRUNK. and she’s in her corner chugging down wine#also like the idea there that she undoes her braid bc her hands aren’t steady enough to put it back to her usual style#and maybe it keeps getting caught lol. so hair down shri’iia 🤭🥳 and her hair is wavy going down near her feet 🥳#hair down drunk shri’iia who looks like she’s having so much fun but if you look at her properly her eyes are rabid#and if u just watch her she’ll just stare at her hands with the most haunted expression#but if someone gets close to her she’ll go back to smiling and laughing and it’s so fun woohoo 🥳#but if someone invites her for a chat she doesn’t want that. just fuck her please the last woman she’s with never did even#though she always got her off. and when she does sleep someone she gets disarmed and bewildered that it’s mutual#and someone else makes her come after how many years#and that in itself is so dreadful that she can’t think about it so she’s like can you drain me again. like what u did before idc just go#for it idcccc and astarion is like. mid dissociating just going through his motions caught off guard bc this is the first time he’s#gonna be drinking someone and fucking them so . unsure what he feels about that chat let’s put a pin on it. does drink her albeit much more#demure than before. he doesn’t wanna go overboard. only doing What he Needs to Do. like hag romance first time rlly is about#the deceit and using each other for their own agenda. so when the act 3 graveyard comes around it’s like a redo of their first time bc#they’re both aware! and present! and there’s no pretense! and I like the idea that shri’iia actually confesses after like when they’re#holding each other. admits that she was actually scared of her own feelings bc it’s new. doesn’t know what to do with it. she’s very aware#of how she loves and her devotion and she doesn’t want to subject him to do bc it’s a Lot#but she wants to learn. and she wants to give her love if he wants it (just want to know if ur capable of love!!!!!)#and it’s this SWEET confession in my head augh aughhh 😭😭😭😭😭😭 maybe I’ll just do a comic of the graveyard scene lol#bc in my head. it’s a bit different. 🤭🤭 and I like it a lot heheheheh…..#shut up about bg3.#bg3 spoilers#oc: shri’iia.

It is! Possible! That I may be being too hard on myself! Again!!!
#me for most of this fall: I’m not doing enough well enough I’m falling short in everything I am Miserable#the universe lately: you’re such a natural turner / you are so creative / you are doing so much /#you are curious and humble and kind / you have beautiful lines / your writing is lovely#our company did this values in action award and my sister and I were talking abt it last week and how only 5 employees WERENT nominated#and i was like Clearlt I Was Not Nominated#and then today actually read the nominations and I got?? really sweet ones????#and just had a convo with a colleague abt how I’ve been worried abt underperforming/not doing well enough#and she looked at me like I had literally sprouted a tortoise out of my head and was like#‘’i. think you might have. Very High Standards for yourself. (?????????)’’#the new director I’ve been working with is so casual abt praise saying how I have beautiful lines and such a strong turn#and just need to relax and breathe#there have been a couple ppl recently reading thru like my entire AO3 and leaving the nicest comments???#my students are chaotic but at rehearsal they all want to come sit with me and ask me questions and I just#idk I know I have a tendency toward isolation and self-deprecation#but also like. when ur in it (the depressions (?)) it feels so absolute#and i know I have to go thru to get to a place where I can receive the good (emotionally)#and I know I’m a little extra sensitivo bc I‘ve been missing my brother#and specifically how he always always was the person who listened when I needed support#but yeah i. maybe rlly needed this#‘’over and over announcing your place in the family of things’’#<- current feels#personal#Bc it’s less about positive feedback and more abt feeling like belonging

rewatched mop ending it still made me cry 👍 some thoughts in the tags
#honestly now that I’ve read the manga I can decidedly say it’s the least faithful adaptation out of all the arcs which does make me a little#bummed bc it’s one you would think they would try and follow to a T bc of the weight every piece of dialogue carries. cut one thing and the#entire tone can change. I don’t like how they framed shigeo as completely violent and ‘malicious’ up until the very end. in the manga you#know from the start that both mob and shigeo have an incredibly skewed but not malicious viewpoint if that makes sense#like yeah the ritsu thing is an earlier ep but that kinda bugs me too!! it just changes the tone. and I get it it’s an anime you can’t have#like. the like despair that reigens chase had ik the manga it’s gotta be uplifting and shonen o guess lol#one more low thing then I’m done I promise. the ending is super cute and sweet but the cat bit and the angle of the cake almost make it read#like mob doesn’t rlly use his powers anymore? not entirely but it teeters on it whereas in the manga like ritsu gets him down from up high#and mob very obviously flings the cake in reigens face. like it’s not like that doesn’t happen in the ep I just don’t get why they made it#more vague bc like. that would go against the very core of the arc whatever#idk it’s a bunch of little things but they really add up imo. bc like obvs when I first watched the arc without being caught up#in the manga I enjoyed it and I still do love it!! it’s beautifully animated and it still pulls at ur emotions very effectively haha#just interesting if not a bit frustrating to think about the gravity of what was left out/changed just bc of the major focus on emotion#in this arc especially#chitchat#mp100 spoilers

Hi! I just read “where you lead me I’ll follow” and it was absolutely so beautiful it was gorgeously written! I was actually wondering how you write dialogue so well? Like what’s ur process? I love the way their conversation flowed it felt like I was listening in on someone’s actual conversation. It’s very cool how you made such a rich fic when it’s just two people sitting outside looking at the stars. But yeah I was just wondering what your process is? I’m really admiring your work! Keep up the good work! 😘
ANON ……… 🥺🥺 ohhhh you are so sweet. that fic is still one of my favorites and has a special place in my heart so it means so much!! T_T
AND THAT’S SO KIND OF YOU TO SAY i often worry that my dialogue doesn’t flow well….. so it’s a huge relief that you think it did :’3 ohhhh but… advice….. hmmmm.
i do think dialogue is tricky for a lot of people!! the standard advice (that also works the best imo) is just to read a bunch !! fanfic, printed books, etc. just to get a feel for different ways that people use dialogue !! bc it really is so different from person to person…… listening to real life conversations, irl or through tv shows or whatever, can also help a bunch!! i think that sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the fiction to the point where you kinda forget how people actually speak 😭😭
the only other advice i have is really vague and probably not helpful PHDJDH but i try to find a good rhythm…?? when i write dialogue…??? it sounds weird bc it’s just something you feel out yourself but i feel like you can totally notice when a paragraph feels clunky, and i also have a tendency to fill dialogue gaps with movements and descriptions, which i think disrupts the flow sometimes….. so getting a good balance there is important!!!
if i want a character to say ��thank you for the meal,” and then “delicious, as always.” (im hungry ok dont look at me) then there are plenty of ways you could fill in that gap !! and they all leave the reader w a different impression!!!
“thank you for the meal,” he said. “delicious, as always.” <- this one is very to the point and short, the description doesn’t really serve a purpose… at that point i think you can just get rid of it and put the sentences together as they are. which isn’t a bad thing!! i usually put descriptions between them but i try to sneak in some pure dialogue here and there too !! i think a mix between both is always best :33
“thank you for the meal,” he chirped, leaning back in his chair. content. “delicious, as always.” <- this is probably the one i tend to go for but that doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for you !! the description is a lil longer, and expresses more emotion and movement… but still short enough that the emphasis is still on the dialogue.
“thank you for the meal,” he chirped, leaning back with a groan, chair creaking with the movement. content, a light curve on his lips. “delicious, as always.” <- i think u get the point by now but there are infinite possibilities when it comes to this kinda thing !! u kinda have to feel for yourself if a description feels too short, too long, etc… it’s a delicate balance but i think mixing it up now and then is probably good for the flow !! the descriptions should always support the dialogue and make it feel more real, it can really change the way the reader interprets what’s being said!! is this character being sincere or sarcastic when they say it’s delicious? etc etc.
that’s my extremely amateur advice LMAO pls don’t put too much faith in me 😭😭😭 i’m super honoured that you’d think to ask me though !! :’3 my biggest tips are still to read and watch a lot of shows, i’m sure it’ll make it a lot easier to get reference points from there!! but writing and experimenting is always helpful too.

Just something quick I wrote for my dear friend Kris (@skriblee-ksk) ♡ Thank you so much for being such a good friend ♡ (and accepting my commissions lol ♡) Enjoy! ♡
Featuring: Jack comfort + cuddles (in his wolf form)
Tumblr media
⋆ Jack was concerned about you, having grown worried throughout the day. There was just something off about your behavior that didn't sit right with him, subtle things he took note of. How you've grown quiet, too quiet, giving simple answers or non verbal responses when talking with someone. How your smile seems forced, not reaching your eyes, strained and hard to keep. How you've been avoiding others, acting more distant, the thought making his chest ache.
⋆ He approaches you when you're at home, knocking at your door. He knew it would be best to talk about this in private, waiting until you were sitting comfortably before bringing it up.
"What's wrong?" he asks, straight to the point. He notices how you tense at his question, clearly not in the right mindset to talk. He watches you struggle for a second before telling you it's alright, and that he'll be here to listen when you're ready.
⋆ You looked down as you felt tears coming, curling in on yourself as you wrapped your arms around you. It was clear that you needed some comfort, if not verbally, then physically, an idea coming to his mind. He looked away for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck at the thought of what he was about to do. He trusted you though, and knew that if it were anyone else, he wouldn't be doing this, using his unique magic to shift to his wolf form.
⋆ Lost in your thoughts, you didn't even notice Jack transform, eyes widening as he rests his head in your lap. You look beside you to find him laying on the couch, his body taking up the whole space. He stares up at you for a moment as if silently giving you permission, shutting his eyes as he relaxes in your lap. You stare for a moment before bending down, wrapping your arms around him as you rest your face in his fur.
⋆ You let your tears fall as you hold him, finding comfort in his warmth. You felt so loved, so trusted, knowing how big this gesture was. When your tears eventually dried, you continued to hold him, making yourself more comfortable on the couch.
"Thank you, Jack" you mumble out, his tail gently wagging in response ♡

hi sel! thanks for answering my question. although, i love consuming webweaves from time to time, sometimes it does not sit right with that works are taken out of context (imo, it kinda dilutes the work?). i really appreciate your response!!!! much love mwa.
hi mai!! no problem!! i do see some sometimes and find them to be interesting and pretty!! but i agree with how it dilutes the text!! in a way, the pulled passage just becomes a quote floating around, and no longer has the richness to it that comes with context and being situated in the larger body of text it was intended for!! the nuance disappears a lil i think 😢
hope you have a great day today!! 💓

Tumblr media
Iwaizumi was sixteen when he lost all of his fear.
He doesn’t really remember exactly what it was that the two of you were talking about, or when, but he remembers how his voice echoed in the alleyway home — the shortcut, he called it.
Iwaizumi remembers rambling and he remembers that you let him; you were never one to cut him off. He was a good listener, as it could be especially hard to get a word in around people like his group of friends, but you?
Around you? He couldn’t shut up.
He was rambling on and on about something — he forgets what, but it was big for his sixteen-year-old self. Nerve-wracking.
“Are you done?” he remembers you asking, side-eyeing him as you walked.
“Uh, yeah. I’m done.”
“Great. What are you even worried about, Hajime?”
(He still doesn’t know what. It turns out that you were right, and it was so insignificant that he can’t even remember what was bothering him to this day.)
“I don’t know. Rejection. Failure—“
“Oh, please,” you scoffed. “Yes, because Hajime Iwaizumi is known for failing.”
He furrowed his brows. “Don’t be mad that I’m nervous.”
“Scared, Haji.”
“I’m not—“
(You gave him a look and he shut his mouth.)
“So what?” he asked then, dropping his hands in his pockets. You never really knew why he was so good with you, why he talked so much — you never dared question it. “How do I get over it and just do it?”
You smile, shaking your head.
“You don’t get over it. You do it scared.”
“What?”
“Fake it ‘til ya make it, Haji.”
(Iwaizumi doesn’t remember what he did, but he knows he did it terrified; he did it well, too. Passed the test, won the game, cleared the hurdle, got the job. Whatever it was.)
Iwaizumi was sixteen when he lost all of his fear. He’s twenty-eight when it all comes crawling back.
By now, he’s more than a decade older with a bunch of fearlessness under his belt, from spiders put back outside to funny noises in the yard. He’s carding his fingers through your hair on the couch you both picked out, and he hasn’t been this scared in a really, really long time.
(Probably not since you told him that he just needed to do it.)
Iwaizumi is scared because, for the first time in the three months he’s been carrying your ring in his pocket, he really wants to fucking give it to you.
He’s always wanted to — no shit, it’s why he bought it — but tonight is the first time he wants to ask you. He doesn’t just want to picture it on your finger, he wants to feel it against his hand when he holds yours.
The same movie you’ve seen four times plays on the TV. You’re leaned right against him; your eyes are heavy, you’ve yawned a few times.
Half of him wants to do it, half of him knows it’s late.
It’s just — it’s you in his shirt, in his sweatpants, in his arms. He has been yours for way too long to not have done this sooner, but neither of you have ever been in a rush to do anything.
Until now, half past midnight on your long weekend and all he wants to do is plan a wedding.
Iwaizumi can’t even sit in his imagination for long, because soon enough you’re sitting up with a look of confusion and you’re lifting his hoodie up, putting a hand over his heart.
“What?” he says, half a breath and half a laugh.
You look … concerned. He can’t tell whether he thinks it’s cute or distressing. “You don’t feel that?”
“Feel what?”
“Hajime, your heart is racing.”
“Is it?” he asks. He sets his hand beside yours. “Nope, don’t feel it.”
You roll your eyes, yanking his sweater back down as you sit at his side. “Well, something is making you two steps away from arresting right here. Spill before I call an ambulance.”
“It’s nothing, seriously. Watch the movie, will you?”
“But I’m nosy, damnit. Don’t you know me at all?”
God, so fucking well. Somehow, not well enough. Tell me more. Tell me everything I already know.
“It’s nothing!”
“Hajime,” you say, and finally your voice is stern. “Whatever you want to say, you know I could never be mad at you for it.”
Iwaizumi takes a deep breath. The box in his pocket feels like it’s made of fucking lead.
“I—“
“Stop. It.”
(He does. He stands up instead.)
“Okay, wait,” you start again, “I didn’t mean leave.”
“Give me a second, damn,” he groans, dusting off his pants, checking it’s still there. Of course it’s still there, but if it wasn’t, this would be bad.
Iwaizumi knows you deserve a thousand flowers and a candle-lit beach, and maybe he’ll give you both. But he’s neck-deep and the water is rising; it’s now or within the next hour, really.
“Hey, are you alright? You’re pale,”
“I’m fine,” he reassures you. Iwaizumi kneels in front of the couch.
“Hajime,” you say again, face contorted in worry. “Seriously, are you—?”
You don’t just trail off, you jump off the road.
In one of his hands is a box. A small one, fitting for a ring. His other hand rests on your knee.
“Are you—“
“—dead serious? Yeah,” he says, sounding way less strong than he looks. “I am.”
He opens the little box, showing you what’s inside. It’s in your colour, a pretty diamond glistening beneath the warm light of your table lamp and the movie. You swear you even mentioned that shape once, probably years ago.
“No,”
“Yeah,” he says, “yes.”
“Are you serious?” you whisper, feeling your tears jerk to the surface, rimming your eyes. You rest a hand on his.
He’s shaking.
“Hajime,” you laugh, wiping a hand under your eye. “You’re shaking.”
He sighs.
“I know,” he nods. Iwaizumi cracks a small smile — he thinks he might cry, too. “You told me to do it scared.”
Your brows furrow and unfurrow in the matter of a few seconds. Yeah, you did say that.
(You were sixteen and talking about less major things, but you did say that.)
“So I’m doing it,” he finishes. “Scared.”
“Scared of what?”
He shrugs. “That I’d stutter when I ask you to marry me. Or that you’d say no.”
You smile. “Have you asked me?”
“Not yet. I was gonna make a speech, but I,” he slows. He stops — he has to, he’s getting choked up. “I might have to save it for later.”
“I don’t want a speech, I wanna hear you say it.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay,” he says. Iwaizumi takes your hand in his shaking hold, his thumb swiping over the top of your ring finger. “I’m gonna do it now.”
“Get on with it, Hajime.”
You’re unmistakably excited.
Iwaizumi kisses where the ring will be if you tell him yes. Scared and all, he looks up at you.
(He speaks the words you’ve been waiting for into your skin. Will you marry me? murmured into your knuckles.
You don’t even tell him yes. Not coherently, anyway.)
You throw yourself into his chest and he has to hold himself up against the coffee table behind him to kiss you upright.
“Yes,” you answer again, over and over. “Even if you were scared to ask.”
“It just means I love you, doesn’t it?” he murmurs, taking your hand and moving it back in front of him. He slips your ring onto your finger. “Just scared on the off chance you were gonna spit in my face—“
“Shut up,”
“Hey, don’t talk to your fiancé like that.” Iwaizumi hesitates, looking up from the ring to your face. His eyes are so soft that you know they’re for you. “That has a ring to it, doesn’t it?”
“Fiancé,” you repeat. Husband to be.
“Yeah. That does sound pretty good, doesn’t it?”
“Just imagine how I think fiancée sounds, honey.”

“And look — you didn’t even stutter.”
“Oh, come o—“
“Careful what you say, now. Happy fiancée, happy life, Hajime.”
“I don’t think that’s the saying, but okay.”

I still have hello kitty blankets from when I was a little kid and I think a fridge that's not covered in a million magnets is a failure. So that's my whole deal, really
