It was an afwul week but hopefully today was the last of it so I can climb into a better place! ❤ @boycottromance

[onceabluemoonwrites]

Okay, i'm gonna get Outlandish here, Blue: tell me ur hcs for a klk/khr crossover (or a khr daemon au if klk/khr doesn't work for you!)

1.       Shamal is part of Nudist Beach. No questions asked. You KNOW he is.

2.       Mikisugi is Shamal’s younger brother, and won’t ever let Shamal forget he is also THE PRETTIER ONE!

See that look? That’s him breathing beauty superiority.

3.       There have been wars over this. Never doubt it. In fact, the whole reason Shamal became mafia is because their mother told them they were both butt ugly and that SHE was the prettiest in the house. He stormed out in a huff and went on to become the prodigal older son.

4.       Lambo is part life-fibre because he ate it as a baby and wouldn’t spit it out. He’s the only person in the whole wide world that has life-fibre synchronization as good as Ryuko, and it’s because he refused to spit out his mother’s grape patterned skirt when he was half a year old.

Also, he 100% begged Haru to make him a cow-patterned kamui. And got it. (cursed image? cursed image). 

5.       Shittopi-chan knew about the Life fibres all along, and Gokudera swears he’d break their friendship over her not telling him, if it wasn’t for the fact that aliens are so DAMN COOL even when they’re trying to consume him.

5+ AHoB hcs! Or 5+ hcs for your clusterfic maybe? (I......heckin love ur cluster)

Mwahahahahaha, an opportunity to write clusterfic stuff! And Victor clusterfic stuff, which is a whole lot rarer. I’m still building this cluster, so I’m just sticking to Victor, Agon, Bianchi and Dan, okay?

For anyone- actually, I don’t think I’ve spoken about clusterfic at all on my blog. I have two large multifandom crossovers in the works called ‘clusterfics’ because they involve characters in clusters a la Sense8. The one @boycottromance is asking for here is the second and newer one, featuring Victor Nikiforov (YOI), Kongo Agon (ES21), Bianchi (KHR) and Dan Wilds (AftG).

1. For all that Victor and Agon are like chalk and cheese, they get along almost distressingly well compared to the rest of the cluster. It’s enough to give people headaches, because both the boys are so different. Except where it counts, possibly, because they breathe sports, are naturals at their craft in a way that Dan has never been and Bianchi was in a completely different line. Agon respects Victor because he’s good at what he does. Victor respects Agon because he’s an absolute asshole and is never apologetic or defensive about it. That kind of attitude is something he wants.

2. It’s unsurprising that Victor grows up to be such a stone cold bastard when he has to be. Agon finds it absolutely hilarious, as does Bianchi. Dan, who still remembers the child with scrapped knees who was quick to tear up like something out of a Disney movie whenever he fell really hard while skating finds that she misses Victor the boy, who never hesitated to show real human emotion.

3. Agon can never figure out how to react to Bianchi and Dan. He’s lived a large part of his youth spending time with girls who wanted to waste time with him, a quick lay in the sheets or against a convenient table or wall meaning nothing to any of them. He knows all about how to deal with women like that, less so when confronted with women like Bianchi and Dan. Bianchi, who’s heart wrenching, a handful of broken glass and lace and oozing blood. Beautiful. But who’d chew him up and spit him out faster than anything else. Agon can never figure out if he loves her or hates her.

4. Dan is both easier and more complicated. Agon finds it easy to poke fun at her choices in high school, less easy to defend himself against a knee that goes straight for his nuts and an attitude that takes zero shit from him. Dan’s never afraid to get in his face if he’s doing something wrong, and he hates that. And hates her. He can never figure out how to handle her, and it’s a completely different emotion from Bianchi, who feels like a friend he might have known as a child, a sister, a classmate, himself. Dan is raw and rough and strong in a way that Agon has never needed to be, and he doesn’t know what to do with the fact that she’s him in another body.

5. It’s easier to understand her after the Devil Bats have trampled them to the ground. Agon hates, and hates, and hates, seethes with the strength of it. Dan just sits beside him through the entire ordeal, understanding in a way that Victor isn’t, because he’s forgetting what it means to lose the older her gets. Dan? Never forgets. She grits her teeth and tightens her gloves, and makes them all stand up and fight when they forget how. Agon hates that he respects her for that.

6. Victor finds that he needs other people less, when he finds his clustermates. Dan claims it’s unhealthy, Agon just rolls his eyes, and Bianchi gently ruffles his hair, something odd in her eyes when she focuses on her fingers tangled in ash blond strands. He feels comfortable with them in a way no one else feels comfortable, and he never actually needs to explain himself to them. It’s the explanations that tire him out, having to break down his thoughts in a way that make sense to other people. Yakov is the only one patient with him, but then, Yakov is his coach, much like Lilia later becomes his ballet instructor. Their patience isn’t unconditional like his cluster’s.

7. He supposes he will regret his disconnect with the world at some point. Until he has to regret it, though, he only revel’s in the colder edge it gives him when he skates. Agon always approves - as he always has, and always will, when it comes to winning.

8. It’s why Agon losing hits him so hard, when it does happen.

In response to this post, in case any of you still want to send in asks!

boycottromance replied to your post “crowdsourcing: can anyone think of a ballet (or, even better, a scene...”

Hhh fuck i def used to know one off the top of my head, but it is Gone. I would suggest Giselle or La Sylphide though? It's been a while since i took dance hist or watched them, but they seem like possible starting points

I really WANT to use Giselle (it’s my fave... mentally ill woman with a heart condition, so like of course) but I couldn’t find anything that was, like, more than a handful of signs at a time.  And all the longest bits had a ton of repetition which is fine in terms of the linguistic theory stuff I’m working with, but will look boring in my presentation.  (I skipped through a video trying to find the bits that I know have mime, so I probably missed some bits.)  Anyway, I found a really good video with a translation included for a scene from Swan Lake, so I’m gonna try to use that.

[yoimythologyweek]

hey quick q (probably silly but i just wanna check in) what kind of things would be good as prompts? would something as vague as like.... "celtic mythology" or "creation myth" be useful, or are you mostly looking for like.... more narrative myths like "eros and psyche" and "king arthur"?

Don’t worry; you’re question isn’t silly at all! Both of these are completely okay! It can be things like certain aspects of mythology or just the entirety of one type of mythology. The only thing I want to avoid is flat-out detailed and specific prompts where it’s halfway to being a fic already, if that makes sense?

❛❛This mark. It appeared this morning. I don’t want it - I. Don’t. Want. It.❜❜ um? whatever ur current top ship is?

Idk if it’s my top ship, but I’vebeen wanting to write some Amanda/Litzibitz and soulmates are a veryWendimoorian concept, so here you go. Also this turned into a fix-it bc honestly how could it not

-- 

At first, Amanda thought she mightbe having another attack. The black mark on her wrist definitely wasn’t therelast night.

But it wasn’t painful. It didn’tfeel any sort of way, really, and her hallucinations were always more aboutsensation than sight.

This was a simple darkening of herskin in roughly the shape of a flower in bloom.

Honestly, it looked like a tattooshe might have chosen to get on her own, if she had ever considered a tattoofor more than the few seconds it took to remember that the needles would almostinevitably set off her pararibulitus. (The first few years she’d had thedisease, they’d tried to draw blood for testing several times. It had alwaysresulted in her screaming on the floor.)

So, surprise tattoo was probablyout. But she was in a fantasy land, and she had teleported three of her bestfriends across dimensions a couple days ago.

Maybe this was some sort of magicthing?

So, her first course of action wasto ask Wakti Wapnasi. She didn’t much like the answer.

“There’s this mark on my wrist? It appeared this morning?” She heldout her arm to display it.

“Your soul mark,” the forest witchdeclared immediately.

“What?”

“Do you not have those in yourworld?”

“What? Random tattoos that appearovernight? Nope. Not ringing any bells.”

Wakti revealed a faded symbol onher neck. A black circle over two thick lines. Amanda had noticed it before,but always assumed it was simply a tattoo.

“Everyone in Wendimoor has one. Itwill lead you to your soulmate.”

“So now there’s a mark on my skintelling me who I’m going to fall in love with?” Amanda was having troubleunderstanding how exactly this worked. “That’s bullshit. I don’t want this.”

“Not lover,” Wakti corrected her.“Soulmate. It can be a lover, but all it means is that it’s someone who isimportant in your destiny. Mine led me to Mona Wilder.”

“Mona Wilder? The woman from myworld you’ve been working with?”

“That’s right.”

“But, I don’t understand. I’m notfrom your world. I shouldn’t have one.”

“You may not be ‘from’ here, butyou are part of this world now, are you not?” Wakti pointed out.

Amanda stormed out of the cave ina huff.

 Several hours of stressfuldecisions later, Amanda was taking a runaway prince home and trying to stop afeud. Normal stuff. Sort of. Not really.

“Don’t move!”

Just when she thought her lifecouldn’t get any weirder, there was a pink-haired girl in a cowboy hat pointingan oversized pair of scissors at her.

The pink hair she could deal with.The cowboy hat was a bit much.

“I guarantee, whatever you’re madabout, it has nothing to do with us,” Amanda snapped, raising her hands insurrender nonetheless.

“Litzibitz!  Her wrist!” one of their captors – a womanwith equally pink dreadlocks – shouted.

Amanda realized that her new markwas clearly visible. What kind of hang-up did this world have with their fatetattoos?

But the cowgirl – Litzibitz? – hadsheathed her scissors and was frantically pulling up her sleeve, revealing amark on her own wrist. She stepped forward and reached out for Amanda’s wrist,which Amanda hesitantly offered. The girl held their arms beside each other,and it became clear.

“They match,” Litzibitz murmured.

She looked Amanda directly in theeye, although what she was searching for Amanda couldn’t say.

“Why are you here?” she asked.

“I’m helping Farson return to hisfamily.”

“Farson Dengdamor?”

“I ran away,” Farson explained.“And Amanda thinks I should go back and try to talk sense into my mother.”

“Well, we all know that won’twork,” another woman, this one with giant knitting needles, muttered.

“Hey! Why not?” Amanda asked.

“I’ve been trying to tell you,”Farson said. “My mother won’t listen to reason.”

“Frija Dengdamoor is well knownfor her pigheadedness,” Litzibitz agreed.

“That is my mother you’re talkingabout!” Farson snapped.

“Am I wrong?”

Farson didn’t reply, which reallysaid it all.

“Listen, we have to do something!”Amanda insisted. “You can’t all just run away.”

“It just so happens that myfriends and I are on our way to meet Silas Dengdamoor and talk of peace,”Litzibitz said. Her eyes met Amanda’s, suddenly shy. “You could join us, ifyou’d like?”

Amanda thought for a moment. “Newplan, Farson. Let’s go see your brother.”

She told herself it wasn’t becauseof the mark on her wrist, or the soft6 curve of Litzibitz’s smile.

--

As the Trosts and the Dengdamoorsseemed poised for peace, Amanda turned to look at her new soulmate, and sawmovement in the trees. Movement, and a gun. Fear constricted her chest, andsuddenly she was drowning. Water poured into her lungs.

Litzibitz grabbed her hand, andAmanda was pulled just enough back to reality that she remembered who she wasand what she could do. With a burst of concentration, she dragged the waterinto reality. And then she dragged herself out of it.

--

She admitted that attempting torealize her hallucinations and teleport at the same time may have been anoveruse of her powers, and possibly all just an overreaction. But consideringthat she used to just scream, she decided it was an improvement.

She helped a struggling Litzibitzout of the pool and examined the motley crew she’d dragged with her in herpanic.

Litzibitz and her friends, Farson,Silas, his bodyguard. And Todd. Staring at her like she’d grown a second head.

She looked around the cave,slightly disturbed to find it empty.

Barely sparing another glance forthe ones she’d saved, she ran outside, to see her mentor facing the might of… abloody woman with a wand duct-taped to her arm?

Litzibitz was quick to follow heroutside, and already unsheathing her scissors.

“Who are you, and why do youthreaten Wakti Wapnasi?” she demanded.

Before the woman could reply, shewas knocked backwards into a tree by a blast of air. Silas Dengdamoor held theweapon, an oddly shaped air horn.

“Her name’s Suzie Boreton,” Toddexplained, standing behind Silas. “She’s a nasty piece of work.”

“Certainly looks like it,” Amandaremarked.

“So, what do we do now?” Litzibitzasked. “They were listening! We almost had peace! And then we all justvanished. How is my father going to take that?”

“Don’t worry,” Amanda said. “We’llfigure it out. And… if it helps you feel better, I don’t think we left asuccessful negotiation. I think… I saw one of the Kellum Knights in the trees.That’s why I panicked.”

“But-”

“Litzibitz Trost,” Wakti said. Itwas no louder than her normal voice, but it seemed to echo around the forestnonetheless.

Litzibitz approached the forestwitch reverently.

“I see you still have a part toplay in this after all,” Wakti murmured. “You are an amplifier.”

“A what?”

“Amanda Brotzman, you must havefelt it. When she is near, your power is greater, more easy to use.”

“That does explain how Iteleported eight people, most of whom I barely know,” Amanda mused.

“I’m not just going to be used assome magic talisman while other people fix things!” Litzibitz insisted.

Her friends had drawn closer in aprotective circle.

“That’s not what I want either,”Amanda pointed out. “Magic solutions don’t tend to work the way you want themto. Look, we’ve got representatives from both your houses here. Why don’t wemake this our base, and draft some sort of peace agreement? And then I candeliver it to your families through the pool, and no one has to risk theirlives. Sound like a plan?”

“That does seem… rather wise,”Silas admitted. “Is there any way we could bring Panto here as well? It doesn’tseem fair to have two Dengdamoor heirs to one Trost heir.”

“And you miss him,” his tallbodyguard observed.

“And I miss him,” Silas agreedeasily.

“I could try summoning him throughthe pool,” Amanda suggested. “But I don’t know if it will work. The last peopleI summoned were people I knew pretty well.”

“Well, you have me,” Litzibitzpointed out. “I’m some sort of amplifier, right? And I know him very well.”

Amanda smiled at her. Wakti hadtold her that soulmates weren’t necessarily lovers, but the more she got toknow Litzibitz Trost, the more she thought she might not mind if they were.

“I think this just might work.”

5+ Made of Sea and Stars hcs pls!! I love sea and stars

*spins* too hard to come up with 5 that didn’t spoil the next 3 chapters lmao.

(Send me an AU and I’ll give 5 HCs)

Tsuna is arguably the most protective of Morgana. It isn’t that his other friends don’t need it (and no matter how strong they are, they certainly do), but because, well, Morgana is a talking cat. Tsuna spent a long time afraid that someone was going to piece together that Morgana could talk and would haul him off to a secret lab and do experiments on him.

One of the first things Marco did after getting his Rain Flames was meet up with Thatch, one of his many brothers. Ever lovable prankster, Thatch predictably tried to pull a prank, only to drop because of Marco’s Rain Flames. *sputters* “When did you get the ability to summon blue fire?!?”

Shiki eventually meets Tsuna and kidnap him and Neku back to Tokyo. “You’re going to have fight a bunch of people if you want that,” Neku deadpanned.“I’m willing to fight.”She is. She didn’t spent weeks in the Reaper game for nothing. No one sees her coming. “Neku…” Tsuna whispered as they’re on a train back to Tokyo. “Is she always like this?” “Yes.”

Arguably the worst combination is Ace and Kaito. Tony is easy to distract with tech, science, and robots. Ace, when he gets into a pranking mood, combined with Kaito results in a certain kind of chaos that has them banned from all eateries in upper northwest Tokyo.

Tsuna had to bail Ace out of jail, once. Alright, it was Marco doing the bailing, but Tsuna was present. Morgana laughed for weeks and Tsuna decided Never Again.

I just stumbled upon your hungry+arcobaleno Tsuna fic n Xanxus swearing an oath fic! They are so good that I am craving for more khr fics like them. Anything that u can share or recs?

I can’t say I know any actual fic for either idea (it’s why I wrote something for it myself). But you could try Breaking of the Day by Branch, which might be something you’d enjoy for Tsuna&Xanxus interaction + loyalty kink. You could also try Better Days by Hraap and The Salty Tang ofBlood (Sensations Running Hot) also by Hraap. And these headcanons/drabbles for At the End of the Night by boycottromance (I think I reblogged everything from this ’verse but I could’ve missed a few).

I'd say @boycottromance 's estimate will be 100% better than mine since I usually plan my fics entirely around that stuff so I don't have to deal with it. Sorry Adel! ��

Also, assuming CSK is around the same time every year, it's late september. I have it as sept 24-27 for the 09/10 season outline, which i think tried to include minimal lying

Uhh, it's kinda l8 for me so i'm going to say wikipedia doesn't answer my q abt later eligibility so i would suggest the ISU website

boycottromance replied to your post “Okay, does anyone have any idea when exactly the placements for the...”

Prelim announcements (irl) for the 17/18 GP series were late may. Presumably invited skaters (Jpn, usa, canada, china, rus and france can each invite 1 skater to their event i think) and anyone who qualifies season of get assignments later, tho my prelim digging has yet to answer when

Bless the both of you for responding, whew!

@onceabluemoonwrites It’s okay, Blue, I can understand! I usually do post-canon or canon divergence/AU stuff myself, so needing to keep an eye on a timeline has been... fun, this time around. Aaargh.

@boycottromance Yes, I was placing the CSK Championships in the range of 22-25 Sept, since those are the dates for 2016 that I’ve found. Also, ack, announcements as early as May?! The anime seems to have confuzzled me, since watching it gave me the impression that announcements happened right before the CSK Championships. Maybe at best a month before, which would be why I was thinking Mid-August could work. 

Let’s see if I have any luck with the ISU website on the topic of late entries, since that’s definitely what Yuuri would have been. That said, seeing as he’s Japan’s Ace and all, it also feels like he could have been that single country invite. In AHoB’s continuity especially, since he’s hands down the top Japanese single men’s figure skater in it. That silver at Sochi only affirms that. Also, eep, this probably caught you really late! I figured that you would have turned in by now. ^^;; 

Let’s see how much more I managed to get typed out before you’re awake... *wry grin*

tbf, ur hair is v v bright so it is v noticeable when it go WHOOSH

Yeah lmao I knew what I was getting into, but I decided to leave it loose--partially because there’s a part where our heads kinda rub against the floor and it’s hard to keep my length of hair in a ponytail/braid/bun when I do that, and partially because there are parts where we stare creepily at the audience and it’s really cool when my hair is in my face for it.
