#but a bonus with me is that i don't really feel uncomfortable/awkward with people who develop crushes on me

[mishkakagehishka]

I'm praying my last ask was actually on anon. If not uh..ignore it. Sorry. Hope I didn't make you uncomfortable!!!! ✨

If it was signed with the sparkles, dw, it was anon. Also i cannot imagine the absolute heart attack i'd be getting rn if i were in your place and didn't know that sorry <3

Wait, This Is a Date!?

Riddle, Idia, and Malleus with an autistic reader who didn't realize they were on a date

Male/gn reader, autistic reader, missed signals, Idia is implied to also be autistic

A/N: I've noticed that some people aren't very obvious when asking someone out or generally establishing their feelings. I actually realized that one of my ex-friends stopped being friends with me because I wasn't picking up on their signals, what's up with people lmao

One afternoon after you had finished all of your classes, your closest "friend" approached you looking rather nervous and asked you to accompany them later. Seeing this as just a request to hang out was friends, you accepted. When he suddenly thanks you for going on a date with him halfway through your activity your caught off guard.

"Wait, this is a date!?"

Riddle Rosehearts

Oh boy, be prepared to start apologizing because the once surprised look on his face at your sudden outburst melted to one of pure sadness. He was absolutely dejected

He took this as you rejecting him halfway through the date he put so much effort into

He even baked all the pastries for your little tea party date :(

He cleared his throat and straightened his posture. He put on a serious face despite clearly being on the verge of tears, and apologized for... making you uncomfortable? Wasting your time?

Well that wasn't what you wanted

In another quick outburst you cut him off and say that you didn't actually mean it in a negative way

You started doing the usual over-explaining hoping that he wouldn't get the wrong idea (more than he already had) and apologizing for not getting his signals

The relief he felt in that moment was something he doesn't think he can compare to anything else in his life

He actually started crying for the fact that "oh thank the sevens they're not rejecting me"

After he calmed down the two of you went back to your tea party date, although both of you aware aware that it was a date this time

bonus: Trey and Cater screaming internally after watching all of that from afar (They'd be there for Riddle's first date as emotional support you can't convince me otherwise)

Idia Shroud

Lord have mercy you're going to kill him

It took him so much to build up the courage Ortho blackmailing him to come over and play video games just for you to not know he was asking you on a date???

He played Stardew Valley with you what could be more romantic than that???

He kinda just sits there and stares at you

He's processing give him a minute

Literally the only response he gives you is just a "Uhh..yeah. Duh." (he's trying to not give away how disappointed he is)

And in you just respond with an "Oh."

Awkward level 100%

After sitting there for a few seconds rocking back and forth to make yourself a little more comfortable, you take a deep breath and lean your head on his shoulder

"Well I like this date."

He tries to hide his flustered face after that, but you can see the tips of his hair turn a soft pink in contrast to the usual blue

He really is bad at hiding his emotions

for the rest of the night the two of you keep playing video games together, and you eventually fall asleep on him, which he freaks out about but tries not to wake you up

Really just two autistics trying to figure out how to date and flirt

Malleus Draconia

So funny thing

He thought the two of you were a couple long before the two of you went on your "first date"

You know that thing on tiktok that's like "check with your autistic s/o that they know your dating because it turns out I've been dating someone for months and had no clue" Yeah that's the two of you

In his eyes it was established that the two of you had been dating. He probably confessed in his old poetic fae way of talking.

So he was just like "You are the sunrise to my day, the cool breeze on a summers day, the blood in my veins." and you were just like "Yep me and my good ol' pal Malleus. besties :)"

What do you mean friends don't give each other little trinkets they find pretty? What to you mean that's fae courting?

What do you mean friends aren't that affectionate? What do you mean friends don't hold hands, hug, and tell each other how much they appreciate them?

Honestly when you burst out with the question, he just laughs after a minute while you sit there flustered and confused

he has to sit you down and explain to you that you've both been dating for at least three months by this point. Lilia was even starting to ask him if he was going to ask you to marry him (he's impatient)

He does make sure that you're okay with this relationship and that you actually want to date him

After this you're relationship grows even stronger rather than growing weaker, he thinks it's endearing

He'll make sure to be more forward and literal with you from now on

if I'm being honest all three of them give me "autistic just not diagnosed yet" vibes. Ty for reading and have a nice day

[gffa]

Ahsoka's place in SW can be a complicated thing, because I feel both things about her--I too am often frustrated by how Filoni writes her, but I too am also grateful that her character exists and isn't the "default" straight white cis dude character. (Though, I do wish she were played by someone other than RD because of All That.)

Ahsoka got so much flak when she first appeared, people hated her just for existing, for daring to take up any space in the Star Wars story, and then she swung around to being nearly put on a pedestal by a large chunk of the fandom, she was lionized pretty heavily in some corners, and I think we're now going through the further growing pains of backlash against the hype, especially because Ahsoka is in the position of often being used as a bludgeon against the Jedi.

To be honest, I don't see nearly as much criticism of Ahsoka's character as I do for other popular characters, I see far more of Obi-Wan and Anakin and Yoda, but maybe that's just the sphere of experience I have, but I see that criticism balanced out with a ton of fic, art, and positive commentary about her. And it makes me wonder if she's in that awkward spot of not quite as central to the story as the movie characters, but more important than almost any other SW character (in the sense of any one character ever being able to be more "important" than another, you know what I mean) where we haven't quite settled into a stable balance of how to approach her character.

So, she's high level enough now that she can take some people being critical of her character or even just flat-out not being kind to her, because she has so much support from the story itself and from all across the fandom, even as honestly I haven't seen much that's been notably mean to her character. Sure, I see a few posts talking about how Ahsoka is Filoni's Blorbo, but are they truly more common than the posts that are celebrating her character? Genuinely wondering, because that hasn't been my experience. (Honestly, I would say Qui-Gon fans have it worse, given that he's another of Filoni's Blorbos, just without the added bonus of actually having anything fun to counter balance it, where even the people who say he was a True Jedi don't really care about Qui-Gon, you know? There's no skits, no commentary, etc. Just a handful of fic authors who are quietly doing their own thing and being the good in the world they want to see.)

At the same time, I get what you're feeling, that it feels uncomfortable to be critical of a female character, especially one who is played by a WOC, especially in a fandom that is pretty fucking vicious towards female characters having anything to actually do in the story. That the criticism of Ahsoka's character/status as Filoni's Blorbo isn't always fair or considerate, because people are frustrated and SW fandom wears all our nerves down to the last.

I'm not really sure where I land with all of this, because I get both sides, the frustration and the affection both, and I think there needs to be space for both in fandom just because we can't police other people's reactions to stuff. It's hard to continue liking her when she's being pitted against your faves, it's hard to be kind to Jedi fans when they're frustrated because she's being used as a bludgeon against their faves, it's hard to just walk away from people ignoring that Ahsoka is really meaningful to a lot of people because she's a non-romance-focused female character coded as/played by a woman of color, it's hard not to feel like Ahsoka's such a popular character that she can take a few people on tumblr not liking her.

My best advice is to just keep loving Ahsoka in the way that you think will attract the other friends you want to have around you--like, for me, when I talk about Anakin, I often try to do so in a way that's affectionate towards him and the Jedi, how much they loved him and how much I think he loved them in returned, because that's who I want to gravitate towards in fandom, those who like both. I try to do the same with Qui-Gon now and again, when I start getting frustrated by how he's used to bludgeon the Jedi, I start going HEY GUESS WHAT I'M EMOTIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH QUI-GON LOVED HIS JEDI FAMILY and it makes me feel better! I would love to see more people do the same with Ahsoka! Prop her up by appealing to how much she loves other characters, too! Like, every time I get frustrated at the way some of fandom treats her, I remember SHE WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE JEDI, SHE LOVED THEM, and I'm like THAT IS MY GIRL I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS SO BRAVE TO STRUGGLE THROUGH ALL THIS AND STILL FIND THE LOVE IN HER HEART.

Or sometimes, like with Bo-Katan, I like to lean into them being a hot mess because yessssssss I love a hot mess of a lady because I am a hot mess of a lady and Felt That. I hope Ahsoka gets to be all kinds of deliciously fucked up in her series and making mistakes and learning and being interesting and working her way back to the surface from her own depths because she is SUCH a strong character and deserves to be crunchy as hell/have bite as a character, like HOW MANY YEARS did she stew in her guilt about Anakin, refusing to let it go? How long did she hold onto that fear, so much that even the Force had to smack her in the face to try to make her let it go on Lothal? GIRL, I AM CRYING FOR YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, LET ME GET YOU SOME SOUP AND I HOPE THE FORCE-GHOSTS ALL COME BOTHER YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE EATING ENOUGH, because I love a character that has bite.

This kind of got away from me, but that's usually where I end up when trying to wrap my head around the frustration of a character's place in fandom. I get why people are frustrated with the way Filoni writes her, but also the frustration of feeling like the important representation of her character sometimes gets lost in the shuffle, that both sides have validity, and my best way out of this is to double down on loving everyone in this bar.

Random ideas about Carlo and Pino being twins

part 1/?

twins AU pino and carlo is so cute tbh I had to write headcanons ! (Contains some of my art too :D)

.

.

.

● Pinocchio is a bit awkward most of the time with people (poor boy is learning) but Carlo and him still managed to make a strong bond with time ! Yay :D

sibling fights:

● Carlo teases Pino a lot: pulls his hair, makes jokes etc.. basically siblings things

○ Pino doesn't really tease back but at some point if he is too annoyed by Carlo he'll end up biting him (not hard enough to hurt but enough to surprise him)

Clothes:

● Pinocchio likes to steal his brother's clothes a lot, which annoys Carlo everytime

○ They also very like to match outfits (which is I'll admit, very cute, I do it with my twin also hehe)

(all art here by me)

● It wasn't natural for Pinocchio to act a certain way siblings act so he observed people who has siblings and tried to replicate what they do

○ Like read together, they love reading together !

○ Also sleeping together from time to time, just being in the same room, like a slumber party !

○ He even bites Carlo. To show affection (like how my cat bites me when I pat him too much or not enough) being used to it, Carlo eventually bites back XD

Affection:

● Pino and affection isn't a natural thing, but when he saw siblings hug he really wanted to try it on his own brother !

○ He hugged Carlo so hard he almost could not breathe... but later on he learned to be more delicate with his hugs.

○ He hugs Carlo very often, even though Carlo don't show it necessarily he actually kinda like being hugged by his brother

Kisses :

They are not the type of siblings to kiss, maybe a little kiss on the cheek or forehead to say goodnight or thank you but that's it

● they kinda had a rivalry at first (especially jealous Carlos) on who would be the favourite son, but when Carlo saw Giuseppe treated Pino the same he treated him, he felt a relief then a need to protect his brother

"I've only met pinocchio for an hour but if anything happens to him I'd kill everyone her and than myself!!"

● They are very protective to eachother, especially Carlo to Pino

● They often train to fight together

● ofc Pino is a part of the friend group with Romeo, they often all 3 hang out together :D

.

Voilà hope u liked that ! If you have more ideas send requests! They are always opened, and you can see what I can write in my pinned comment

I also draw requests for lies of p (go see more in pinned aswell)

Also thus was inspired by how I act with my own twin/siblings and how my best friends (who are twins) act with eachother!

Also wanted to precise, nothing in this can be assimiled as incest (feel the need to precise incase) incest is out of my boundaries and makes me uncomfortable :)

Have a great day ! ☆ ～('▽^人)

Bleed: Huh. after we pushed it back down the alley, i pressed a button marked "Five minutes into the future" - and the car just vanished! How weird!

Offscreen voice 1: Morty! quick! We have to get to the old clock tower for exactly when the lightning strik...- WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CAR?

Bizzare-Looking-Robot: Can you open my access panel and rewire me?

Bleed: Uhhh... Who- er- What are you?

Bizzare-Looking-Robot: I am Bio-Utility Mechanoid 2.0, but most people call me by my initials.

Bleed: Hm... Bio-Utility Mechanoid 2.0... So, like BUM the robot 2.0? That's so gross!

Bum 2.0: It gets better! care to guess where my access panel is located?

Bleed: This is the worst bonus mission i have ever gone through.

After surgery

Bleed: Well uhh... that was a little awkward, rummaging around in your nether circuits and all that.

Bum 2.0: Please, fellow human. I am merely a machine. I have no emotion or feeling. you should not feel uncomfortable.

Bum 2.0: Now, could you please close my hatch again?

Bleed: Fine...

*CLICK*

Bum 2.0: My! What cold hands you have! Not bad for such a cute surgeon much like yourself!

Bleed: Oh that's it! (I thought I got this over with when i confronted Dwayne about this kind of thing!) Get out!

Bum 2.0: Awww What? You're not even gonna by me dinner?

Bleed: OUT!

*Bum 2.0 leavez*

Alan: You know that short argument reminded me of something..

Bleed: Wait really?

Alan: Uh, yeah! my ex wife! after a argument i had with her after finding out what she did, but after that she begged me to "not leave her" or "give her another chance" but i decided to leave that bitch in the dust! because fuck her! she's the one who got me in trouble!

Bleed: Oh geez... well it's no wonder your wife left ya!

*Alan just gives bleed a look before bonking em on the head with his cane*

Bleed: ACK!- OW!- Ok, ok, I deserve that! I'm so sorry!

Alan: Yeah you idiot...

[alz0 yeah thiz leadz t0 a fun fact: Swap!Alan b0nkz Swap!Bleed over the head with hiz cane every time he d0ez 0r sayz z0mething stupid. l0l]

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

Bleed: Oh boy doc I'm so excited to see who we operate on next! it could be a superhero, a mutated bear,- OH! or even better! a full on vampire!

Alan: Oh yeah sure... I'm sure were gonna operate on lot's of weird shit today ignacio-

Bleed: OH NO WAIT HOLD THAT THOUGHT ALAN! I thought of something even better, what if we operated on the famous rapper Funky Boy!

Alan: Who?!-

Bleed: Yeah i figured you'd say that, he's the greatest rapper ever along with his robot gf you gotta listen to his stuff one day doc! his music is really cool! like I'm his biggest fan ever you have no idea!

Alan: Uh huh, ok that's nice to hear or whatever... I'm not a big fan of rap musi-

Bleed: Aw come on! Just this once doc! I swear it will be worth it!

Alan: I said no Bleed!

Bleed: Awwww... ok.

*suddenly someone walks in*

???: Uhm hey? are you two busy?

Bleed: Oh no if course not miss! what seems to be- WAIT A MINUTE I KNOW YOU, you're "Girl-Bot" funky boys gf!

Girl-Bot: Oh hehe, yeah that's me! Big fan I'm assuming?

Bleed: The biggest one of all!

Girl-Bot: Well that's nice, since i guess it's safe to say i might need your boys help with something, since my programming detects you two are surgeons.

Alan: Uh yeah, what seems to be-

Bleed: Oh of course we will help what seems to be...-

*suddenly someone else steps in coughing up blood*

???: B- Beeee- *COUGH* *COUCH*

Alan: OH MY GOD WHAT HA-

Bleed: *Gasps* No Way! YOU'RE wanting me to operate on FUNKY BOY?!

Girl-Bot: Yeah pretty much and before you ask... he went through a pretty insane rap battle and blew out his vocal cords out because of it, and we heard so much about your "pizza cutter surgery" work, so we were wondering if you could help him out?

Bleed: Oh it would be an honor! BUT FIRST i need to ask you're bf something!

Girl-Bot: Sure what is it?

*Bleed pulls out his pizza cutter*

Bleed: Could i get Funky Boys autograph?

Alan: BLEED WE DO NOT HAVE TIME-

Bleed: IT WILL BE QUICK DOC! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Alan: COULD YOU QUIT FUCKING INTERUPTING ME?!

Bleed: Oh thehe! I'm sorry, but anyways yeah could i get his autograph?

Girl-Bot: yeah sure I don't see why not!

*Funky boy nods with blood dripping from his mouth as he takes the pizza cutter and gets out a marker and writes "Funky Bøy" on the handle of bleeds pizza cutter before handing it back to em*

Bleed: EEEEEE- Ok now! Let's do this thing!

After surgery

Bleed: Alright we replaced his old vocal cords with new mechanical vocal chords, so he shouldn't have any problems doing any intense rap battles now.

Girl-Bot: Ok Funky Boy, give it a shot let's see how you feel?

Funky Boy: B- B- Beeeeeep- Beep Boop Bap! *insert him singing a snippet of bopeebo here lol*

Funky Boy: Ah Yeah! Beep bop skdoop bap! (thanks guys i can finally sing now!)

Bleed: Yeah don't mention it funky boy! anything for my favorite rapper!

Alan: Ok bleed i fail to see how you think his music is any good, he just says bunch of beeps and bops for crying out loud!

Bleed: A good kind of Beeps and bops that is Alan!

Alan: Also remind me how do you even understand em? like it's just a bunch of random bullshit gibberish?!

Bleed: Oh well i don't understand sign language from guys with pet lizards and you don't see me complaining!

Alan: BECAUSE SIGN LANGUAGE IS NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND BLEED, But that's besides the point... the point is after listening to it i think his music fucking sucks.

Bleed: *Gasp* YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Alan: MAKE ME YOU LOBOTOMIZED LAZY-EYED FUCK!

*inzert Alan and Bleed arguing here while GB n FB watch*

Funky Boy: Beep beep boop skdoop... (i think we should get out of here...)

Girl-Bot: yeah let's go...

--------------------------------------------------------------aaaaannnnndddd... that's it ya'll h0pe ya enj0yed thiz stupid thing. lma0

[spacestationstorybook]

okay i finished a playthrough of‏‏‎ ‎hush‏‏‎ ‎hush and while many of the Problems persisted it was pretty cute and i do think the girls' storylines were all well-written and fairly respectful though mileage may vary. i do kind of wish there was more to discover in future playthroughs other than just new endings because usually the fun of dating sims for me is discovering all new paths when pursuing each character but in this one you basically have to be doing all paths at once. i'm still gonna be doing a playthrough for each girl though. anyway under the cut is how much i think each girl's story was coded for sapphics

cassie: she seems to want the most traditionally masc love interest so for people who want to be femme4femme with her you're at a disadvantage but i can see her as the kind of gal who just wants a classic butch/femme relationship with someone to spoil her and act all chivalrous for her. also mel is a suuuper butch name to me so i imagine her as a butch if that means anything. she seems to have been the most significant figure in cassie's life in the past so maybe that did something for her. 5/10

mio: has the most references to liking women on her route, you can talk about dressing up as‏‏‎ ‎samus, and one of her lines on the beach implies you are both wearing bikinis (though likely unintentionally). however her stalker guy refers to you moving in on "another man's territory" at one point which was probably also unintentional but one of those annoying hetero freudian slips that seem to pop up in every dating sim ever made. 8/10 though

iro: i'm biased because i cannot imagine any version of‏‏‎ ‎rainbow‏‏‎ ‎dash‏‏‎ ‎or any character even partially inspired by her liking men but she explicitly mentions having an ex-girlfriend, she flirts with and calls other girls hot on multiple occasions, also doesn't feel weird about accidentally being topless in front of you on your first meeting (though that could also just be interpreted as her being confident in her body). i do feel like the way her dad acts around you is more coded for a guy though if she dated a girl previously he probably already knows she's into girls and maybe that changes things. though i know the real reason was it was probably written by a man :( 8/10

elle: her storyline archetype is suuuuper lesbian coded (i mean they Do do straight versions of it but they're always way more boring. if you're doing breaking tradition and rebelling against your stifling conservative family don't just make the love interest another conventionally attractive cishet white boy who's just A Little Edgy) but dorian feels misogynistic as hell so i feel like he'd treat a woman noticeably different from a man. elle gets bonus points though for having a‏‏‎ ‎crush‏‏‎ ‎crush‏‏‎ ‎line where she awkwardly asks if you like women "in the special way" which is usually not the sort of thing you ask a man you're already in the awkward flirty stage with. 7.5/10

quill: her route has the least references to gender of any kind so it's really hard to make any judgements here. her route makes me a little uncomfortable for Reasons but i would be hard pressed to call it gendered at all. in‏‏‎ ‎crush‏‏‎ ‎crush‏‏‎ ‎when you start officially dating her she says "we are the girlfriends! yay!" which is meant as just a silly line but feels a lot easier to get from point a to point b if there's no guy in the picture. 6/10

[runicmagitek]

stole this from @wingsyouburn because why not! Not going to tag anyone, but if you'd like to fill this out yourself, consider yourself tagged!!

How many works do you have on AO3? 384 :')

What's your total AO3 word count? 1,836,435

What fandoms do you write for? Yes.

Ok but real answer? Current active ones are FF, Fire Emblem, and 13 Sentinels. I'll bounce around tho, depending on what inspires me. Like I always dip in and out of any video game fandom.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1) Sweet Dreams (Witch from Mercury, sulemio) 2) Finally, Beautiful Stranger (FFVII, aerti) 3) Wings of Valor and Compassion (Overwatch, pharmercy) 4) Give Them Something to Talk About (TLOU2, Dina/Ellie) 5) No Safety in Desire (BotW, Urbosa/Zelda)

It does please me that my top fics are all femslash HSKDJAJD

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I definitely try my best to!! Unless it's very rude or makes me uncomfortable in some way, then I either don't comment on those specific bits or just ignore it altogether. I've had a handful of people make very backhanded remarks and I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's really awkward when an absolute stranger treats me with too much familiarity just bc we share the same ship.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably Limbo? It does not have a happy ending and ends on a very horrifying note. What Becomes of Practice also comes to mind, seeing that the main character goes through hell and ends up dying, though IS reunited with her father in the afterlife 😭

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? God I really don't know. I'm more of an angst writer, so a lot of those happy endings are prefaced with a lot of pain lolsob so I feel pretty much any of my angst with a happy ending fics can qualify for this!! Tho I have received a ton of comments about how fluffy and cozy Finally, Beautiful Stranger's ending was, so I'll pick that one!!

Do you get hate on fics? Not regularly, but it has happened. I've gotten "ew this is gross" remarks on just writing about gay people. I've gotten weird comments about a brief nightmare scene in a fix-it fic, despite tagging for it, bc "she's suffered enough, why would you do this". And more recently, I've gotten some "this doesn't make sense, why would this character ever be depressed/angry" bc I guess female characters who are conveyed as bubbly in the source material aren't allowed to experience any range emotion outside of that and shame on me for wanting to explore darker themes, like recovering from trauma and depression. Bonus points when the male pov character does way more fucked up stuff and no readers call him out on it (sorry, I'm still very bitter about this)

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Hell yeah! All my smut, even my attempts at pwp, always incorporate feelings and more often than not gain a plot along the way. I can't help it. I love the build-up and tension leading to the main event. I need to give my readers blue balls, I guess fjlahdskdh

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Not really. I'm more of an AU person than anything. Even going through my fics, the only proper crossover I've written was If You Had Life Eternal, but even that is like, reimagining Warcraft characters in the Diablo universe and that's kinda it.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? SADLY YES >:/ thankfully, it was removed from FFN, but I really hated that someone copy-pasted my fic and just changed the character names to fit their ship.

Have you ever had a fic translated? I have!! Several times!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope. The closest I've come is like, sharing ideas on a single continuity with someone else and then writing it out on my own. I do like collaborative stuff with people I trust, but I don't want to co-write anything lolsob

What's your all-time favorite ship? EVER????? It varies from fandom to fandom, even year to year. Celes/Setzer will always have a special place in my heart, even if I don't write for them as often anymore. But right now, keinatsu is dominating my life and I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? God, so many. I have my one Setzer fic that I posted the first chapter, managed to write the second one two years later, and then…. did fuck all with it. Also remembering the Darill/Maria/Setzer longfic I wrote and even did an initial editing pass, but that's now rotting on my laptop. It got a bit too personal at one point and I don't know if I'll ever share it :/ oh and that one Overwatch longfic I got 80k~ into and then abandoned bc the fandom was shitty and I didn't want to invest any more time in it

What are your writing strengths? Dialogue, describing scenery, evoking all kinds of emotions.

What are your writing weaknesses? jfc I'm incapable of shutting up and keeping things short

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I guess it depends? Like I used French in Darkness/Starlight for Jidoorian and the only times Setzer spoke in that was when he was open about his feelings, but didn't want Celes to know. But if the reader translated those parts, they could get more insight as to where his headspace was at. But normally, I would want things written out in a way that's understandable to the audience. If there's a phrase or whatever in a different language, I try to italicize it, but that's it.

First fandom you wrote for? Vividly remember writing about my self-insert OC in a post-canon FFVII/Sailor Moon crossover that lived in spiral-bound notebooks at the age of 11. But the first fandom I actually posted something for online was Metal Gear Solid back in like… 2001???? It was forever ago lolsob

Favorite fic you've ever written? This changes over time, but I'm still very proud of What Leads You Here. I put a lot of work into it and am so happy I could share it with the fandom and even happier that a ton of folks enjoyed it!!

Bonds Unveiled

Supernatural FanFic : 526 Words : First Work : OC

Bonus Chapter 1 (After Chapter 2) OR Stand Alone One Shot

Oh Cas…

Having returned to town; before heading to their motel and Castiel heading off in his own direction again; the group settled into the local bar for a drink and food. Sam and Dean sat next to each other then Cass and Saia. It was dark and loud as several people were occupying the 3 billiards tables at the far end.

“A Kitsune?” Castiel pauses for a moment to gather his thoughts, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her. Saia thought it best to tell him seeing as Dean and Sam knew as well. She trusted him. “I see. That explains some of the abilities you've displayed. But there's much I still don't understand. Kitsunes are a rarity in the supernatural world. May I ask you some questions to gain a better understanding?”

“Of course, Castiel. Ask me anything you want. I'll do my best to answer.” Saia nodded, appreciating Castiel's desire for knowledge and understanding.

“First, can you transform into a fox? And if so, what does it feel like?”

“Yes, I can shift into my fox form. It's a natural ability for Kitsunes. When I transform, it's like a rush of energy flowing through me. My body changes, my senses sharpen, and I feel more connected to my primal instincts. It's an exhilarating experience.” Saia would explain.

“Fascinating,and do Kitsunes have any peculiar mating rituals or behaviors?” Castiel would ask with a straight face and serious tone in his voice.

Hearing Castiel’s question caused Sam to almost choke on his swig of beer he was in the process of taking. After clearing his throat he shared  glance with Dean who was chuckling to himself, amused and curious to see how Saia would respond. Sam slapped Dean arm with a look that said “Really?” Dean just shrugged his shoulders.

Saia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she just stared back at Cass with a shocked expression, momentarily at a loss for words. Sam and Dean tried to suppress their laughter, knowing how awkward the question was.

“Uh, well, um…” Saia began to speak, though still trying to find the right words. “Kitsunes do have their own customs and traditions, but they vary among different regions and legends. Some stories talk about certain rituals associated with courtship, but, uh, it's not something I've personally experienced or have extensive knowledge about.”

“I see.” Castiel replied, taking in the information. “I sense I might have made you uncomfortable with my question, I apologize if it was inappropriate.”

Saia managed a small smile, appreciating Castiel's understanding and knowing that that was just how he was. Honestly she walked right into that one.

“Oh, come on, Cas. You're making Saia blush!” Dean, unable to contain himself any longer, burst into laughter, while Sam chuckled beside him.

Castiel looked confusedly to Dean and Sam who were laughing then back to Saia. “My apologies, Saia. I sometimes forget to consider the boundaries of personal inquiries. I assure you, it was not my intention to embarrass you.”

The tension eased, and the group shared a lighthearted moment, understanding that even angels could stumble upon socially awkward questions.

for the uncommon asks!

7, 13, 20, 28, 32, A, E, and a bonus of your choice! 🤩

Thank you!! From this ask game, I'm guessing this is for Zador? :D

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Answered here!

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Ohhhhh boy. So. Zador is uh... not exactly fashion conscious? I don't think he has any opinion about what color he looks best in, he just wears what's comfortable XD He gets styled in red as Inquisitor, but that's more about the symbol than any personal choice!

20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?

How you express those will be different depending on the person, of course, but the base emotion? Caring about someone, wanting them in your life, being excited for their accomplishments and passions, wanting to see them safe and happy? That's the same, to him, for romantic and non-romantic love.

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? 

Answered here!

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? 

I mean his go-to joke as Inquisitor is that he's the biggest danger to himself on any battlefield, considering his lack of combat-ready skill with a bow (to put it very nicely XD )! Most of the time though he really doesn't talk about himself? He'll shift the conversation over to the other person, but a lot of his own history is either painful to talk about (his daughter) or awkward (the Carta).

A. Why are you excited about this character?

This is pretty much the first oc I've taken the time to properly flesh out, and definitely the first who has spoken so clearly all on his own! It helps that I've had some lovely friends who have really encouraged me to think more carefully about him than I would have on my own <3

E. Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

Eh? I'd get super uncomfortable about someone who asks so many questions and actually answers so few, I'm not sure I'd dislike him, I just don't think we'd be great friends.

Bonus: 9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

He swears very rarely, but firmly believes in the power of a good curse. This occasionally shocks people who see him only as a quiet scholar XD He grew up around a lot of harsh language, and doesn't really remember his first swear!

[saccharinescorpion]

(suddenly serious) what i was saying was that Dungeon Meshi has some really well-written characters that also have flaws. half the cast constantly gives Laios shit for being socially awkward, Laios forgets about the basics of human decency a couple of times when interacting with Izutsumi, the funny late-story villain squad are 80% convicted criminals, basically every character is a bit racist in some way, and, yes, Marcille, everyone's favorite silly little disaster lesbian, gets the "ick" about Tall-men portraying the characters in her favorite romance novel because she thinks they're too ugly and pouts about the idea of Falin (her dear beloved Falin) wearing clothes that she would be happy and comfortable wearing because "that stuff is for men"

i feel really silly talking about this but a weird thing that happened for me when the Dungeon Meshi anime took off and the fandom really exploded was seeing how weirdly cutesified a lot of fan depictions of the characters was. the "canon versus fanon" of it all, if you will. a week or so ago there was a bonus comic drawn by Ryoko Kui that got spread around Twitter about a What If situation in which Laios got eaten instead of Falin, and people were shocked about the idea of the party basically immediately giving up on the idea of saving Laios, including at least one "why does the writer think she knows so much" joke (i'm hoping it was a joke), which really baffled me because it just made sense to me that the party initially wasn't all that close to Laios (besides Falin, obviously). the relationship of the main cast is something that grows over the series. please read that carefully: the main cast does care for one another, they care for Laios, it's just that it's something that is developed over the course of the manga... and even that idea was too much for some fans

i'm probably going to sound really snobby, but i think there's a lot of people who are more fans of the fanart than the actual series...

i was mainly being silly when i was like "yeah let Marcille be weird about gender" but i was also kind of serious because it kind of is a prominent part of her character. it speaks to the world she lives in, what she values and finds important, and if you think about it, it actually speaks a lot to the subtext around her and Falin: Marcille hates "gross things," Marcille hates being uncomfortable, Marcille thinks women should be girly, and men should be masculine, and yet she willingly journeys down into a gross dungeon and eats weird monsters in order to save Falin, a woman who likes bugs, fucking around in the dirt, and pants. what do you think that implies about Marcille?

i appreciate writers that don't smooth all the rough edges off their characters. in Kui's case, we all know she's put massive amounts of thought into the world Dungeon Meshi takes place in, and the views of her character reflect all these thoughts. i don't think Marcille being "conservative" is an accident- i would go so far as to say that i don't think the "contradiction" of Marcille's love of Falin is an accident. i think this is all the sign of good writing, and i think it's a diservice to the writer to try and make these characters more "palatable" (and fit all the corny "found family" memes lol)

yeah that's exactly what i was saying

Collage riddler x male reader au

Roommate Cuddles

Edward Nashton x Male Reader

Word Count: 1242

Contains / Warnings: Confessions, Cuddles, Mentions of Anxiety, Mentions of Alcohol, Fluff, Suggestive Stuff, Omg they were roommates. 

(A/N: I’m back, have quick little fluff as a treat. Also yes I used this banner before.) 

You had a really weird roommate. That wasn't you being overly judgmental, that was just a simple observation. It could've been much worse with the entire plan of becoming roommates with a random stranger. But there was no way in hell you could pay for rent with your cashier job, and you would rather die then befriend someone at this point. So your only option was him.

One Edward Nashton, the relatively shy guy that was going to attend your collage, with the added bonus of having a job to pay the bills. It was practically perfect.

And it was rude but even when meeting him there was a part of you that hoped Edward would spend the majority of his time away. But that couldn't be further from the truth. You couldn't even judge in all honesty since you were in the same boat as him. Your antisocial behavior that was worsened by your anxiety, it all lead to staying in your shared shitty apartment then going out to enjoying the collage life. Edward was probably the only other person you talked to outside of classes or work, and just like you he was the same.

It was awkward at first, both of you hanging around the apartment only being able to start the most stilted of small talk before it died off into uncomfortable silence until one of you called it quits and went back to your room. But there was a slow change, and it started when those god awful conversation starters actually revealed what interests you both had in common. Quickly warming up to him after that, being charmed by his odd personality that you originally thought would've been a point of contention. You two clicked after that and that was all you really needed to get attached to one another.

It became a usual occurrence to hang out in the living room. At first using the excuse of studying together, but that quickly turned to times where you just enjoyed each others company. From playing games together, trying new budget foods to mixed results, or simply rambling about whatever your minds went to. And today was one of those days, with both of you lazily sitting on the couch. The entire vibe changing when you pulled out a bottle of whine, a joke gift for Edward getting a promotion, a whole 5 cents difference. It became a blurry night with both of you taking swigs from the bottle, talking about your day, mainly complaining about classes. But it didn't take long for things to take a turn.

"Yeah, I feel like I'm starved—I would have died if touch starvation was a thing." It was a lame passing comment from your buzz, you didn't even remember what started that conversation. But it lead to an odd moment as Edward stared at you nervously, struggling to speak up as he gulped down the wine. "So you uh, never cuddled anyone?" "Obviously not." There was a small pause, his eyes locked directly to yours as you felt yourself become a little nervous, maybe more from embarrassment then anything. "Wanna test it out then?" Edward suddenly asks.

You were visibly taken aback at his offer, Edward softly cursing under his breath, like he realized just how weird that was. "I mean, I'm not... against it. Guess it's good to try new thing." You reply, scratching the back of your neck with a timid smile. "You don't have to, I mean you don't have to settle with me for that." Edward gestures at himself with a forced laugh and that oddly made you feel a little defensive on his part. "Come on, Ed. Who the hell would I trust to cuddle with? I hate the majority of people." He looked away at that, becoming a flustered mess so much that he had to bite down a smile.

"So then... how do we do this?" Edward stood up as a way to start, placing the almost empty bottle to the side with a groan. You laid down with open arms, a teasing smile spreading around your face. "Come here, dude." Edward stood there for a second, with a face like he thought he was about to do something wrong. It took you calling his name again for him to finally lay on top of you, so carefully, like you were made of glass. "Relax. I can handle you." You try to soothe while gently pulling him closer. Edward furiously apologized while trying to shift into a more comfortable position. You couldn't help but let out a chuckle as Edward hesitantly laid his head against your chest before letting out a sigh when your arms wrapped around him. He was going to make a passing comment but it always died off. He couldn't even lie, this was a dream come true, feeling so close to your warmth and scent, it was enough to make Edward nuzzle his cheek against you for just a little more.

And you both stayed that way for who knows how long, losing track of time as you dozed off in each others arms. Only being woken up when bringing up something to keep your minds distracted from it's sleepiness, always dying into random ramblings.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" You playfully tease as your grip around him tightened, feeling him hug your torso with a small huff. "Pft, no." "That's a shame, I was gonna ask if you wanted to do this more." Edward paused. "... I really like this then." He said while hiding his face into the crook of your neck. "Yeah, me too." You whisper with a hand moving up to his neck, your thumb gently rubbing his cheek as you heard him let out another sigh.

"I can never imagine doing this with anyone but you." Edward confessed, his hands running down your sides. Fluttering your eyes closed, you let out a small noise as Edward kept his hands on you. You wanted to say something, ask him more but you stopped yourself, instead choosing to stay in the moment to focus on his voice and hands. And Edward kept going, whispering to you confession after confession.

"Ed, you're making me feel so many things. And I don't wanna make you regret this." You groan as he gently kissed under your jaw. "I won't regret this, I promise." He mumbled before going back to littering your neck with kisses.

"Fuck, I really really like you." You let out a lighthearted laugh, feeling him slowly stop. "I guess I kinda see you as my boyfriend sometimes."

"Do you mean it?" "Of course—" "No, like you're not joking, right?" Edward looked up at you with furrowed brows, pain lacing his face and voice. You were a little speechless, your mind blanking at how desperate he seemed. It was enough to make you sit up to tilt his head up at you.

"Eddie, who else would I want to be my boyfriend? Who else could it be but you? You're the only person I want to stick besides and I mean that." Edward couldn't stop from smiling, suddenly hiding his face in his hands, letting out a broken laugh. "Holy shit, are you crying?" You quickly go to comfort him, grabbing his wrists as he shook his head frantically. "It's the whine, These are—They're happy tears. I just thought that this could never happen." Edward laughed again before wiping his running tears. You took that as sign, leaning closer to him with a grin. "Wow, We really are walking stereotypes. Close roommates."

"Roommates for life?" He jokingly asks.

"Roommates for life." You reply.

Steddie asks 😊

3. Favorite three Steddie fanfics?

oh man okay this is SUCH a hard question because obviously there are SO MANY MORE than just 3 that i would consider favorites!!! which is why i have to cheat and list more than 3 sklgjds. i tried to narrow it down, i really really did but. i am horrible at decisions so 5 favorites you will get instead slkdjdsl

let it roll into the night by @toburnup (aka adure on ao3) this one is very special to me bc vio wrote it for me and i love them very very much for that, but also it's just an absolutely incredible fic and it is filled with SO much yearning, like it made me ache so bad (in the best way possible) and i just really really loved it. (i also love literally anything they write so. if you have not PLEASE go check out their fics!!!)

eddie's spectacular, awkward, very safe, very fun first time by @alligator-writes this is pretty much exactly what it says in the title lol and it is quite literally one of my absolute all time favorite headcanons come to life. and the second i read this fic- no the second i saw this fic, i was sold and obsessed already. ria TRULY never misses, ever, and i highly hiiiiiighly recommend literally anything she writes also!!!

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you by greatunironic i am sure you must have heard about this fic, everybody has heard about this fic. but there's a reason for that!! it is SO good and SO emotional and just SOOOO. there's just something about those coming back together later in life fics that really fucking hits, and this one hits HARD. plus i love all the little like interview snippets and transcripts that are sprinkled throughout, that's such a fun extra flavor to the fic and the format and i love that!

doing nothing with you by @red-0ak-tree i love love LOVE this fic so so SO much omg. i always love fics that have steve and robin getting out of hawkins and moving in together, and this one has the excellent wonderful fantastic bonus of eddie practically, unofficially moving in too (and also nancy!!). it's so charming and sweet and emotional and the slow burn is soooo good and there's just so so much to love about this one!!

stuck in indianapolis (feeling not so alone) by @oatflatwhite (aka iphigenias on ao3) this is another one that i truly adore so very much!! another delicious slow burn, another moving out of hawkins, another unofficial move in until it is official!! the writing is incredible, the characterization is incredible, the dynamic built up is incredible!! i cannot recommend this one enough!!

9. Do you imagine they would have been childhood friends?

i think that if the circumstances of their childhoods had been different and if they'd had the opportunity to meet as kids, yes, i think they could have been childhood friends. it's clear that they are very different people who come from very different backgrounds, but that doesn't stop them from getting along so well now. they just mesh so well together. there's something about them that just fits. and i think had they been able to nurture that from the start there could've been an even stronger bond between them (which is saying something because the bond they do have is a ridiculously strong one already).

11. Which one would confess their attraction/love first? Why?

ooh okay love this one!!

when it come to confessing their attraction first, i think it would be steve. i think eddie would probably realize his own attraction first, but i don't think he would do or say anything about it because 1. he thinks steve is straight 2. he doesn't want to make steve uncomfortable 3. he doesn't want to ruin their friendship because like. steve is one of the closest friends he's ever had, and they're so comfortable with each other and there's so much love there (even if it isn't the same kind eddie wishes it were). he wouldn't want to jeopardize that. and even if eddie started to pick up on steve's mutual attraction, i think he would still hold back on his own, because this is still so new for steve, and eddie doesn't want to scare him off, or acknowledge something that maybe steve himself isn't ready to acknowlede, and he also eddie doesn't want to just be some experiment. it means too much to him. so he waits. he leaves the ball in steve's court. which means that steve is the one who has to make the first move. steve is the one who kisses eddie first. steve is the one who tells eddie, scared out of his mind but still pushing that back to be brave, that he likes him, that he really likes him.

when it comes to confessing their love first, i think that would fall to eddie. we allllll know steve's experience with love. nancy wheeler was the last romantic partner that he said confessed his love to, and that was all bullshit. so, i think steve would be ready to say it first (he usually is, in any relationship he has, though i do think nancy was probably the first one he actually meant it with) but he would be so god damn scared. he would be terrified. so he would swallow it down. he would keep it locked up. he wouldn't say it because the last time he did everything crumbled around him. and he doesn't want that. not again. not with eddie. so he bites his tongue and he doesn't say it even though every cell inside his body is screaming it. (even though he says it perfectly clearly in every action anyways). so that means that eddie is the one to say it first. eddie is the one to turn to steve, to grasp his face, to look him in the eye and say "steve, i- i love you". and when it happens steve is both over the goddamn moon about it. and there's still a teeny tiny part of him that is scared, that thinks the rug could be pulled out from beneath his feet at any second. but then he looks into eddie's eyes, and he can see that he means it. and he trusts eddie, too. he knows that eddie chooses his words carefully when he wants to, that he doesn't say things that he doesn't mean. and he means this. steve can tell.

[dickwheelie]

@coulson-is-an-avenger thank you sm for the jonsasha prompt!! sorry this took so long but here's a fic about jon and sasha brushin each other's hair :) with a bonus gender discussion(tm)

___________

Jon leaned back against Sasha's legs where she sat on the sofa above him, feeling her gently tug his braid loose, his hair tumbling into her lap as she began to comb through it. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, letting himself relax.

"I've always been jealous of your hair," Sasha said, as she started brushing it out. "So long and lustrous . . ."

"Hah!" Jon barked out a laugh. "Lustrous is not a word I'd use to describe anything about myself."

"You don't give yourself enough credit. Maybe your skin needs work, but your hair is doing fine."

"Oh, well, thank you," Jon said. "Wait, my skin needs--?"

"Why do you keep your hair long, anyway?" Sasha went on. "I mean, it looks good, but you don't seem the type."

Jon snorted. "What does that mean?"

"Nothing," Sasha said cheerily. "Just, you know, the whole male academic persona." Out of the corner of his eye, Jon saw her hand wave theatrically at the words. "You dress and act so straight-laced at work, I guess I'm just surprised your hair didn't go along with it."

Jon worried at the hem of his cardigan. The soft, casual cardigan he'd worn to Sasha's flat because it was his day off, and he didn't have to dress in stuffy, professional clothing so nobody would figure out he was a fraud who didn't belong in a head archivist position. "I just always liked keeping it long," he said. "Couldn't tell you why. Just feels nice, I guess."

"You know," Sasha said pointedly, "I used to want to keep my hair long for reasons I couldn't explain, either."

"I--" Jon began to protest, then closed his mouth and tried again. "I . . . I've thought about it. Believe me, I've--" He laughed humorlessly. "I have thought about it. But I'm sure I'm cis. I-I mean, by now, I'd know otherwise. Right?"

Sasha hummed as she tugged at a stubborn tangle. "Not necessarily. I've met lots of people who didn't know they were trans until they were in their forties, or older."

"W-Well," Jon said, and then didn't know what else to say. For a moment, he just sat there, losing himself in Sasha's steady pulls of the brush, the feeling of her hands running through his hair. "I mean," he said eventually, "I'm not a woman. I know that much."

"Okay," Sasha said, and was quiet. Jon recognized her "letting him talk it out" voice.

"And I'm not uncomfortable with being a man." Jon sighed. He hadn't been prepared for this conversation, and he didn't feel like digging too far into it. "Maybe I'm just a man who likes having long hair. What's wrong with that."

"Absolutely nothing," Sasha said, and he felt her press her lips to the top of his head before returning to the brush. "I think it's handsome."

"Ah. Thank you," Jon said, with a twitch of a smile.

Soon Sasha had finished with his hair and tied it back up in its braid, and they swapped places. Jon could accept Sasha's compliments about his hair's lustrousness, or whatever, but faced with her dark curls he didn't understand how she could ever be jealous of his hair, or anyone else's, for that matter. Sasha's hair was so . . . he didn't even know, he just loved it. It wasn't quite as long as his, but it was a beautiful, rich dark color, almost black but not quite. The texture as he ran his hands through it felt astonishingly nice; he was reminded of the stim toys he used to play with when he was younger.

Sasha's hair didn't need brushing out like his did, so instead he just evened out the center part and ran through it with a comb. He spent the majority of the time carding his hands through it, careful not to tug on the strands. Sasha leaned warmly against him, her back up against his calves, her legs splayed out comfortably in front of her. Her head was tilted up at him and her eyes were closed, with a peaceful look on her face.

"How long did it take you," Sasha said at one point, her voice low and relaxed. "To grow your hair out."

Jon had to think a moment. "Last time I had it cut was . . . almost two years ago, now. I remember because I'd just gotten an interview for the researcher job and I wanted to look . . . presentable. Male academic persona, and all that."

Sasha laughed. "Right."

"Before that it was pretty long, past my shoulders. That was how I kept it at uni too. This is the longest it's ever been, though," Jon said, as he tugged at a strand of his own hair absentmindedly. "I guess the Institute's kept me so busy I forgot to get it cut again."

"Well, if you like it that way, why waste the money?" Sasha said, quite reasonably. "Besides, I stand by what I said. Your hair's a gift, don't waste it by cutting it off." She reached above her head and waved a finger at him. "Unless you want to. Don't let me tell you what to do. God knows I know a thing or two about other people telling me what to do with my hair."

Jon laughed. "I won't. I want to keep it long, anyway." He was glad Sasha liked his hair like this. Georgie had been the same way, encouraging Jon not to cut it. He'd had friends in the past express confusion about his hair, but he'd gotten pretty skilled at ignoring them. It took a job interview, apparently, to change his mind. Jon wasn't entirely sure how he felt about that.

Well, no, that wasn't true. Bad, that was how he felt. Walking around those first few months in research with his hair cropped short, wearing those stuffy outfits . . . he'd never felt more like an imposter. The day he realized his hair had finally grown back past his shoulders had been a very, very good day.

His work clothes hadn't really changed, and his persona hadn't gotten easier to play, but now he had his hair, and his nails, and even the occasional earring studs he'd wear, if he was feeling brave.

And Sasha. And Tim. He had them, too, and they were two very good people to have in one's corner.

Impulsively, he reached down and gave Sasha a hug around her shoulders. It was a bit of an awkward angle, and he had to lay his cheek on the top of her head, but she reached up to hug him back anyway.

"What's this for?" Sasha said, but she didn't let go.

"I don't know," Jon said softly. "I love you, that's all."

"Well, if that's all," Sasha said. She gave him a few pats on the arm, as well as she could reach. "Don't mess up my hair, now, or you'll have to comb it again."

"Oh, no," Jon intoned, "what a horrible fate."

"You're not funny, Sims."

"I'm hilarious."

Sasha grabbed his hand and kissed the back of it, which Jon suspected was a last-ditch effort to derail the conversation by flustering him. It worked extremely well. Jon busied himself by going back to her hair, and it was a few minutes later before either of them spoke again.

"I love you too, you know," Sasha said at length. "I know I don't say it a lot, but I do."

"It's okay," Jon said, and it really, really was. He knew Sasha couldn't see the wide smile that had just appeared on his face, but he liked to think she could hear it in his voice. "I know you do."

Request number two :)

Id like a romantic twisted wonderland matchup please. My pronouns are she,her. Im 5’2 hour glass shaped African American, with black hair, and blackish brown eyes.Im straight, but Im an ally :). I’m told I’m kind, smart, funny, responsible, polite, respectful, obedient, thoughtful, considerate, empathetic, caring, protective, nerdy and compassionate, but im also anxious, fearful, awkward, shy, clumsy, emotional, moody, indecisive, highly sensitive, an introvert, have low confidence and self esteem issues. I like animals, books, reading, writing, fantasy, magic, sci fi, anime, cartoons, music, video games, friends, alone time, helping others, taking personality quizzes, learning, bread, and sweets. I dislike spiders, loud sounds, people who harm others, not being listened to, people i care about not caring for themselves, losing people, disappointing/letting down people, failing, math, tests, certain foods and textures, things with weird holes and patterns. Extra stuff about me is that: I pace a lot, i sing when no one is around, and im clumsy.

I think im just gonna leave it at these two for now i dnt wanna both you both and im sure you have a lot id matchups or at least you’re going to if you don’t already and i dont wanna hog all your time. Thanks again

🐇 | I have decided to match you with...

☆ Silver is a pretty calming person. He's kind, thoughtful, but also has a hard time not falling asleep.

☆ Genuinely admires how polite you are. It's already a yes from him since you respect everyone in Diasomnia. You don't treat Malleus as if you're scared of him, and you're nice. That really warms his heart.

☆ Both of you will probably just be going on a date in the forest, taking walks, he'll even introduce you to some of the regular animals he wakes up next to.

☆ Speaking of which, sometimes the two of you will fall asleep next to each other near a tree, and then you'll wake up and see a few animals cuddled up to both of you. Lillia has seen this happen and finds it adorable

☆ Maybe since you like reading, Silver will ask you to read him bedtime stories even though he knows he might not stay awake to hear much of it. Just having your voice be the last thing he hears before drifting off to sleep is enough to make him have sweet dreams.

☆ He's not scared of spiders! He's been surrounded by worse, so you don't have to worry about killing any. With little spiders, he'll let it crawl onto his hand so he can take it away from you. With bigger and more poisonous spiders, he'll just do the same thing with a cup.

☆ Since you enjoy magic, he likes to do different tricks for you. Sometimes he'll even use magic to make you a gift! Maybe he asks Malleus and some other Diasomnia members to show you some magic whenever he notices that you have a bad day/are in a bad mood. Anything to cheer you up!

☆ With how responsible you are, sometimes you save him being scolded by Sebek... He really appreciates it whenever you wake him up before something important.

☆ Sometimes on days when you don't feel like reading, he'll ask you to sing him a lullaby while he rest his head on your shoulder or in your lap. Either works with him, he just wants to be near you.

The Other Choice(s):

Riddle: He admires your motivation to learn. It always makes it really fun to read books with you in the library! He'll let you play with the hedgehogs and flamingos, and lastly, he'll be the one to reassure your worries.

Idia: He's introverted and won't push you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. He'll play video games, take personality quizzes, and you both can lay/sit down next to each other and read fan fiction to tour hearts content! Bonus: his room is also quiet, a perfect place to relax.

it's always mc pleasing jk and pegging him, making him moan and writhe beneath her as much as I LOVE to see him all subby, whiny and teary, I really want to see him pleasuring her like actually out of the shower- in the bedroom 🥺 she's a living sex goddess I agree 100% but really want to see more of aaol jk in action.

I don't know if you wanted to make it sound that way, but damn anon tone down the demanding nature of yours geez.

I create the things I enjoy writing about. I am 90% a service dom, which means I gain immense satisfaction and pleasure out of seeing my sub enjoy the things I do to them, I gain immense satisfaction and pleasure out of seeing my sub orgasm and hearing them moan and watching them lose themselves. I don't even have to orgasm myself to think of a scene as "satisfactory", just knowing that my sub had the best time and I did an amazing job as their dom is enough for me. If they wanna please me back, then of course hell yeah bonus points, but that's not a given for me.

This is what I enjoy and what also gives me the most joy whilst writing. And that is also why I enjoyed working on Wet Dream so much as writing about Jungkook literally loosing himself like that on the strap was something very satisfactory to write about.

Also you very much saw Jungkook in action for 7500 words. He is a sub, a very performative and vocal and eager to be shaped into position sub. And he gave a hell of a perfomance for that scene. His role in that story wasn't to please through his touches, but to please through his perfomance and I merely wrote that last paragraph to make you guys aware that "hey kook doesn't just take but never gives, he does actually wants to please her back" in order to avoid all those "okay but like why is HE always taking? so selfish" comments.

Again, I don't know if you wanted to make your ask sound that demanding, but geez next time come here and actually like give some feedback on the story I actually published instead of demanding a new one.

Edit because I thought of something else: I also have to tell you that I also feel very awkward writing all the recieving parts solely because I have to put myself into the role of the OC and write about “my bodily reactions” and this always makes me a lil uncomfortable because first of all, I don’t want to write about something so personal. And second of all not every body reacts the same. So if I for example write “he sucks on your nipple, sending electric tingles down to your pussy” there are people out there (me) who don’t have sensitive nipples and who would probably be all like “lol dude that aint working wtf” and then they have to sit through 4 paragraphs of him sucking on her titties eventhough it doesn’t do anything for them. Or some people like fingering, others hate it and those people would have very different reactions to the guy sticking their finger up their vagina. So I feel awkward writing about “how he makes you writhe with just fingers” when I know that there are people having to read this and feeling very uncomfortable about it. Which is why I most of the time try to stay away from too much recieving action.

A really sad part of being a "creepy" or "cringy" kind of autist (not definitions I personally agree with but you get the point) is realizing how little you can trust to this world. That odds are 99% you are making people uncomfortable all the time not being aware of it and NO amount of asking them whether something is wrong will make them tell the truth. They will tolerate everything until the boiling point and some day just explode and leave - still, not even letting yoh know what you did wrong. You don't even have to do anything drastically wrong, just be 'weird' and that's also enough.

It just feels like there is no way to win, bonus points for cultural and/or language barrier. No matter how many algorithms you memorize to mask as a 'normal' person - this list CAN'T be long enough and there are always more things to learn. It is just easier to give up and assume everyone who smiles in your face is secretly side-eyeing you and whispering behind your back, unless they are miraculously "weirder" than you.

And there are always, always, ALWAYS actual creeps who overanalyze every single word and action from you through the prism of assuming you know what you are doing when you do NOT. You explain what a struggle this is = you try to make yourself a victim! You try to imitate a 'normal' opinion or speech pattern too obviously because you are too confused to understand what's happening but don't want trouble = you are then a pretentious asshole! You are awkward while being vocally aware? Oh, you are a true manipulative mastermind then! And God FORBID your breakdowns in responce to being hurt are 'aggressive' and not 'self-deprecating': this one is a HUGE offense in their eyes and they will forever use this as a "proof" that you are a bad person and that they were "right" to hurt you as they revealed your "true face" this way!

It is kind of just easier to give up, because someone somewhere will always get everything backwards and you can't have enough energy to predict every single social interaction outcome possible. Easier to hold onto friends that will always believe you have no ill will and avoid getting attached to anyone else. Because they won't even TELL you until too late. Just looking at them like, 'Ahaha hell yeah man we 🤝 on this one ghhhhgggj Love to interact with you!!! (I know you will jump to shit talk me with your REAL friends once I turn my back, this is just pretend.)'
