#but anyways im so excited to read it in a physical form

[justnother-user]

Ahhhh I can’t believe I have it now!!! I love it so much already I can’t wait to reread it!! @morphinejunkie

[quinn-pop]

let’s do some autistic meta knight headcanons!! over explaining my interpretation of meta knight yet again wooooo

this orb has NO idea how to talk to people!!! outside of work anyway. a lot of this is partially due to upbringing (suppressing his emotions all the time) but he does not know how to express emotions, like…at all.

this goes into a few things

1. yeah talking is hard. even after figuring out what he wants to communicate he will struggle. conversation can be so overwhelming, especially under pressure. he will need time lol

2. because of that, forming connections is hard. i really don’t think meta is much for shallow relationships, and certainly not early in the timeline. which also means he has very little experience with friendship. so a lot of the relationships he did have went kinda neglected, and issues that probably could’ve been worked on by talking became…*cough romk* escalated.

3. honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if meta convinced himself he couldn’t feel emotion (anymore) until like. katam-ish. he tried very hard lol

vulnerability is terrifying. (though this gesture here is also just comforting, like his little cape cocoon thing he does.)

unmasking—yeah im taking the mask thing very literally here—is a big deal and a very slow process for mk. i’m sure he has a lot of feelings on that lol. it served as a way to ensure no one could ever, y’know, see him.

i can’t say i think he’d ever fully ditch it—there’s always gonna be some days that are more stressful than others and if having it could help him get through it, it just makes sense. mainly when working.

it really is about vulnerability. granted, i don’t think he has the most expressive face (in my head every astral just tends to stare at things) but i doubt he has much control over it. can’t fake a smile but also can’t hide it. probably blushes easy because yeah, astrals; just look at kirby’s face.

just the idea that someone might be able to read his expression and know what he’s feeling before he’s ready for them to (or even understands it himself…) yeah he doesn’t want that

but emotional turmoil aside, i think his mask also hides a lot of his stims

remember that whole “suppressing your feelings” thing? yeah turns out that ignoring half your instincts isn’t a good idea. so in true meta knight style, he tries to stim as subtly as possible

1. he has the least control over his wings, so they will flick and twitch on their own. they’re usually a good indicator of how he’s feeling, not unlike the body language usually seen in cat ears and tails lol. flapping is also an extension of this of course, though he probably suppresses it more.

2. this also effects when he takes his wings out. pretty much every time he’s excited or nervous it just happens. kinda makes me wonder if his wing cape ordeal might also go into the suppression thing… (i’d say yes, but using a cape is also very comforting so it’s not necessarily a bad thing)

3. going back to the mask thing; he stims a lot underneath it. think like biting or pursing your lips. he bites his tongue and clicks his mouth. that sort of thing. his mask also makes it harder to notice that he is constantly sighing, humming, grumbling…all that

one nice thing about the mask though is that it helps a little bit with lights!!! woo

(look at him and his magically floating glasses)

sensory stuff—i think he’s mostly bothered by light and sound. maybe a bit of texture. he���s pretty sensory avoidant and perfectly happy standing off to the side not touching anything.

the one exception to this is physical affection, which is, despite all of this, most of how he shows affection. it’s a lot easier to hug someone than to try to explain your feelings for them, after all.

i think he would like pressure though. so that’s probably part of it. and i’m pretty sure there’s some connection in here to fighting (dang, is that the only way he knows how to get his energy out?)

anyway, pretty much all of this is in contrast to kirby, who i would gladly nominate as the champion of Doing Whatever He Wants. he might pick up a few bad habits, but he will never mask the way meta knight does. he might not understand how he feels, but he’s in tune enough to express it…usually.

this is a very good thing for meta because it helps him to do the same thing. kirby’s so energetic, it’s hard to not want to stim with him. it reminds meta to be kinder to himself and explore his own emotions. he can also help kirby understand themselves, so this connection is very important.

yeah, at the end of the day, everything kinda just boils down to kirby and mk as parallels

this is the conclusion i promise

to me, meta’s arc is about growing stronger by growing kinder, and this is mostly by learning to be kind to himself. letting himself be a person again, loving and understanding other people, and eventually, letting go of all the expectations placed on him and doing the things he’s always wanted to do…

autism headcanons are fun for me because it’s cathartic to write, but at the same time, it just makes sense in this sort of narrative. meta is, to me, inseparable from these things. and so is kirby! that’s a dynamic that’s a lot of fun to play with, and it’s at the heart of my kirby interpretation.

if you actually read all this WOW thank you

[spruzu]

Doing a silly post of all my (main) fav characters bcz why not.

They will mainly be in order of who i like the most but some are even and if i was asked to pick one between them i physically wouldnt be able to.

-KNUCKLES THE MF ECHIDNA!!!!!!!!!!

HES SO COOOOL I CANT. Theres a knuckles shaped part in my heart. (kinda wanna be him in a way it's kinda embarrassing) I LOVE all of his versions in sonic prime, renegade knucks has a special place in my heart though he's top tier. Sonic boom knuckles is so funny and stupid like him going ''Oh wait i cant read.'' is so funny to me as a dyslexic person myself. Movie knuckles needs to be protected at all costs istg he's so sweet. GIVE KNUCKLES ALL THE GRAPES HE WANTS! 🍇🍇🍇🍇

-Sonic the hedgehog

Sonic's on the same level as knuckles he genuinely so cool and i do base some of my personality off him... i love his character development in sonic prime but his attitude in sonic x is so funny its amazing. He's defo got a bit of attitude to him in the older stuff which makes me love him more. His jokes and ''Wtf is danger.'' attitude is so real. Also movie sonic voiced by Ben Schwartz HELL YEAH, i love Ben hes so funny i cant wait for sonic 3.

-Shadow the hedgehog

''Another sonic character? is all your favourite characters sonic characters?'' no, just wait i get to other characters <3 but MY MY MY MY MYYY OH MY I LOVE SHADOW. I remember my first sonic game, if you can even call it that, being Mario and Sonic 2012 Olympic games and always playing as either shadow, sonic, silver or amy. I loved paying as him. Also his game is SO FUN and his backstory is so fun to learn and 100% take some of his personality and put it onto mine like i do with sonic. He's just such a good character and im glad this is the year of shadow bcz we NEED more shadow content. i would ramble about him more but i cant think of anything else to say.

-Leonardo (ROTMNT)

Another character voiced by Ben schwartz! I just recently watched this movie and i LOVED it. I used to like TMNT when i was little but never fully got into it but my favourites were always Leo and Mikey. Im literally him /hj. He's such a cool character (i say that with all of them i just love them all so much). Also if any TMNT fans have any movie/TV show recommendations for TMNT i am willing to take them!

-Miles Morales

I remember watching Into the Spider Verse and i loved it so much, i felt bad for miles in a way because he had to go through seeing spider man die in front of his eyes then realising hes the new spider man and blah blah blah. Im watching Penny's (from snapcube) VODs from when she played Spiderman 2 and miles' suits are so cool i love how they added the spider-verse movie suits into the game theyre defo some of my favs. Across the spider verse was such a good movie but into the spider verse was defo better (hot take? idk). Im so excited to see what happens in the next movie.

-Silver the hedgehog

Another sonic character yes, but i love sonic so much its my main special interest/hyperfixation. Silver is so silly i need to see more content of him tho. It's also kinda funny how his first appearance was sonic 06 ,which as we all know, is an awful game. In need to see more of him we need another game with him in as a playable character. Smt like SA2 idk.

-Batman

All forms of batman, lego batman is top tier and the rest under him. I watched the lego batman movie in the cinema when it came out and little me loved it and i recently, abt 3 years ago, got fully into batman stuff. The movies are so good and batman is such a cool character to, i need to meet more people who like him.

Thats it for now, i would add garfield but i dont really have anything to say abt him other than hes the most realest character ever. Hate mondays, love lasagne.

Anyways, i love these characters so much most of them being my comfort characters **cough cough** the sonic ones **cough cough**.

Asking The Important Questions and Answering:

-you still alive everybuddy?

~Yes, yours truly is alive, a year older for some time now already and suffering BECAUSE I'M MOVING WITHIN 2024!

-freshest news?

~i became an uncle/aunt for the 8th time, his name is (blank) and i'm VIBRATING! He's so tiny! And blonde and has these BIG eyes i wanna squish them! We're giving the parents a bit of themselves time but gosh i wanna gush over the wittle baby in person and not over pictures!

Anyways, do the people of teyvat celebrate babies?

We're celebrating in a few weeks!

-🥘Stew

waves!!!

minor spoilers for sumeru + natlan AQ, i use natlano instead of “” natlanese “”

1) i am still alive!!! somehow!!! however comma,

i am in college now!!! holy shit!!! and it has been HELL on my schedule be so fucking fr- i’m taking online classes and with the adhd you can imagine how that’s going (hint : bad). i’ve also just had a bunch of trouble that has killed my motivation (lotta personal stuff blah blah) and i’ve been falling back to less taxing blurbs rather than anything actually post-able. also as such i just have Not had the energy to answer asks,, i read them all and i love you everyone who sends them but i don’t wanna reply with the equivalent of “i ain’t reading that but good for you. or sorry that happened.” yk?

2) congrats on the new relative!!!! baby kids are WILD and i wish them good health.

for me… well, i’m finally getting a hold on things, and i can feel that i have more energy again, which i’m really excited about!! i’ve had some ideas SLOW COOKING for MONTHS that im very excited to serve!!! not really news though, just a Development,,,

(​yes it took me like 2.5 months to get a grip on things. it’s the autism. shhhhh)

for actual news.. uh, i learned that there’s a 10$ fee for getting locked out of your dorm! uhhh i have the object permanence of a d6, how obvious is it

3) i think like.. remembering that teyvat still uses oil lamps, of course they’re happy about children!!! different nations show it in different ways, though.

mondstadt is a very “it takes a village” city, so celebrations focus on allowing the parent to recover and preparing for their new life. lotta time off work and pages of advice, you know?

if mond is the present, liyue is the future. lotta focus on practices for good health — that vary between families, ranging from calming teas for the parent to necklaces with herbs tucked in the pendant for the child.

inazuma is… inazuma. post-decree lifting, though, things somewhat go back to normal adjacent. like liyue, it’s about a prosperous future, but in non physical forms. intangible blessing and faith over physical jade beads, you know?

the forests of sumeru are run by the akedemiya. wisdom does not take breaks, and neither should you. one brief event close after the birth is enough — the closest to modern baby showers. gifts given, the clock strikes, and that’s about it.

the deserts, however, follow mondstadt’s lead, especially in places such as aaru village. children are very communal, and even those without biological children are often parental figures. health for the parent while the child is raised with the others, the best childcare this side of the chasm.

fontaine is extravagant. for some of the richer families, lady furina herself would come down and personally wish the child well. lotta impractical, flashy gifts given over a too many days. it’s a social event, for those around the new family just as much as it is the child themself.

natlan is also very aggressively communal. nobody fights alone, after all, no matter the shape of their battle. celebrations consist of the tribe giving practical gifts, anything from clothes and food to a promise to be there when needed. specific preferences switch between the tribes — the people of the springs someone give seashell necklaces for good luck, the scions of the canopy a set of soft gloves, suitable for new skin while also sturdy enough to climb ropes with. natlano treat the parent the best, i think.

snezhnaya is small, private. close family and friends only, whispered prayers and tight, worried hugs. the everwinter is not kind, so it is made up for with the embers of what was once a tight knit community. they cannot give what they once could, cannot sing and knit and give blankets with blessings woven into the fabric, but they do what they can. they huddle around the fire, hoping against hope.

[buffyfan145]

so i read quite a few of your posts and spammed you with likes, i hope you don't mind too much but you are perhaps the most informed person on trop tea i have came across and your speculations make me more excited for s2 😅

so from what i understand, there has been a very little info on galadriel's storyline compared to other characters? all we know is that she is with adar and elrond is trying to save her, then she fights sauron. and as for sauron, he spends most of the season with celebrimbor (can i ask what's that horrible fate of his? i havent read the books).

tbh, my delulu ass hopes that the fact that gal's storyline is so under-the-wraps means that it's going to be smtng special and spicy (instead of her having a reduced screen-time), and the actors being more open about haladriel stuff is bc that "surprise" storyline has to do with them. has it been conformed that they will use their mental bond in the season?

ahhh, anyways, your theory about galadriel going with sauron after being alienated by other elfs is *chief's kiss*. i will personally go and kiss the ring of the writers if that's true! i have also been seeing speculations about sauron chasing galadriel but not sure what's that based on (saw it on twt but then decided to avoid the twt space bc im afraid of possible ship wars ruining my experience for s2 since i saw a couple of sauron and celebrimbor shippers say they will have sexual tension or smtng. totally fine with shippers being shippers but i have had such a bad experience with ship wars that i want to just altogether avoid even witnessing them).

sorry for a long ask/rant! thanks for all your posts, they are really interesting! ❤

That's no problem and thanks so much!!! 😀 Yeah, I keep up with all the spoilers and news now as this show has become one of my major fandoms now and I get like this and those who followed for over the years know when I get into a show or movie series. LOL I'm going to post most of this behind a cut since it's got major spoilers for the season but will say Morfydd has talked a lot about Galadriel's storylines and her getting Nenya is huge part of this too, and her, Charlie, and the writers did talk about her and Sauron's mental bond and that it will be a huge part too. Morfydd did film "Starve Arce", a horror movie which is out now, while s2 was filming but I don't think it impacted production that much since the cast is so large and s2 was filmed over 9 months. Also this season has been confirmed to be Sauron centric so it's more centered around him as the lead, but she's still listed by Amazon as the female lead and has second billing under Charlie. So now to the spoilery parts.

So again Galadriel's main storylines from interviews and the trailers are receiving Nenya and learning how to use it, the mental bond she has with Sauron (which they also confirmed will be a huge part of the show till it ends with season 5) and some sort of creepy vision early on in the season, being outcasted by the other elves and even causing issues with Elrond, she has scenes with Cridan and Gil Galad too as her fellow elven ringbearers, the fight with the barrow wights with a team of other elves, getting captured by Adar, learning from Adar more about Sauron, forming an alliance with Adar including what seems like to use her as bait to lure Sauron out, and then as we saw in the final trailer the big confrontation she has with Sauron and showing him Nenya. Plus, they could still be hiding things from us too as these trailers are only mins and we have 8 episodes total and if like in season 1 they likely are all over an hour long.

Celebrimbor's story is so tragic too. He actually gets killed by the orcs and dies in a horrible manner, which is also likely why the show's rating increased as it's even more violent than season 2. I don't want to spoil it too much, but he will die in the season finale and Sauron does horrible things before that to him both physically and verbally. It's very much like an abusive relationship which is why I don't ship them. I understand that others do but their scenes are going to be so hard to watch. Both Charlies and the writers have called it a friendship or bromance, but those terms seem to suggest they aren't going for it to be romantic either but a friendship that turns violent and more into Sauron/Annatar being master. But this does show Sauron treats Galadriel differently to everyone else.

But yeah I'm hoping there won't be a ship war but I doubt it'll be in this case. Celebrimbor also in the books wanted to marry Galadriel himself in the 1st Age but she fell in love with Celeborn and married him instead. I posted before how that could bond Celebrimbor and Sauron as they'll both end up losing her to Celeborn. If any ship war happens it'll actually be whenever Celeborn comes back as we all know from the books and movies Galadriel ends up with him and they still have to have their daughter as they can't change too much and still have to make sure the LOTR books/movies play out the way they do when this show ends.

I'm still thinking, like others now too, that it is possible she does go with Sauron at the end of season 2. Especially if she fully is cast out after working with Adar, using Nenya, and then all those that die in the battle including Celebrimbor. Sauron still hasn't given out the 9 rings to the men or created the One Ring by the end of s2 so he has to get to that in season 3, and her s3 storyline is a mystery too. It seems like a possibility like others and I have pointed out that they could leave together, whether she's in charge for now thanks to Nenya and her new powers, or not. She will find her own kingdom of Lothlorien and be queen there so we might see that play out but eventually if Sauron's with her it will still end in tragedy as he keeps falling deeper into his dark ways and will go back to Numenor, and her husband Celeborn will be back. We'll get more info as the episodes air but I can see something like that happening.

[sodaquail]

Dude I’m so hyped for your werewolf AU, you have no idea. I’m the biggest werewolf!Chip fan out there. Anyways, if you want asks (sorry if I misinterpreted your post):

What type of werewolf are we talking here? Classic bipedal or twilight style giant wolf? Somewhere in between?

Are any of the other characters werewolves, and/or does Chip know any others?

Is lycanthropy a known thing? How do people react?

One of my D&D books has a section on lycanthropy, and while you can play player characters affected by it, it goes hand and hand with the Evil alignment (it’s an older book, not sure about lycanthropy in 5E). Is this similar in your AU, or are werewolves misunderstood?

Don’t feel obligated to answer any of these haha, I understand that they could definitely lean into spoiler territory, I’m just so excited!! :D Werewolf world building is the best.

Im sooooo glad to see you're excited!!! I can totes add you to the tag list ^_^

for the TYPE of wolf... I totally leant more into mythology rather than werewolf movies. ive never actually watched a werewolf movie (although, a friend said wolfchip would be like the wolves from twilight so now im planning a marathon with IRLs.... oops) I'm doing a lot of worldbuilding into the nature and magic of werewolves and that stays hidden but.. - physically they are BIG. like twilight wolf sized... big big. - They have no tail (a mythology thing for werewolves!! common for creatures rumored to just be witches in disguse actually) I was VERYYYYYYYY much not going to pull the werewolf pop culture thing and have some 'weird human-wolf hybrid cross' because i did not like the idea tooooo much..... would rather be taken out back and killed with bricks than make chip bipedal wolf-man hybrid thing.... noooooooo...... also in human form werewolves are distinctly inhuman!! Won't go into TOO MUCH worldbuilding of mine but essentially, among other things their wolf form and traits fluctuate with the lunar cycle. on new moon they're indistinguishable from human, on full moon they're fully wolf, and all inbetween is a mix of traits. It all depends on when you catch em, whether it's day or night, whether it's new moon or close to full moon.... you might not know what you're signing up for if you find a normal person on the full moon only for them to change as the lunar cycle goes on, lol. but from mythology these are the traits which often identify a werewolf in human form - unibrow (not giving chip this one. no dice) - low, swinging stride (yes!) - lower set ears (also yes!) - when the skin is cut, there is fur under it! (yes, but i felt might be too obscure for people.... not included in common werewolf pop culture sadly...) as well as a few special things of my own!!! I ALSO HAVE A PHOTO OF WHAT WOLFCHIP LOOKS LIKE!! i found this on a dog grooming video on tiktok and went 'thats wolfchip."

2) Yes! I have one confirmed werewolf NPC (of my own making for the purposes of the story) and am toying with the idea of making another character a werewolf. It won't be too big of a deal though... just a neat little reference!! 3) now THIS is staunchly spoiler territory!! sorry dude!!! 4) this is also spoiler territory but what i will say is that I did not go off of DND modules (although it wouldnt hurt to give them a read...)!! I play BECMI and 5e as my DND modules among other TTRPGS but i did not lean from any of them. Honestly, I didn't take much inspiration for my werewolf worldbuilding outside of some mythology shit (and not a lot, anyway). I think i just went off the general, well known werewolf myths and said 'ok what can i do with this' and i sewed and cut and now it is a new beast. it is MY beast. TYSM for your questions!!! Hope you enjoy the final project ahhhh...... seeing the answers for the spoilers in the fic will be SO much better than reading them here i swear :3

[katiesautisms]

Apologies to everyone who reads my posts, but the hyperfixation demands this.

Soo, Minecraft lore, if youre close to me then you know that I have been theorizing about Minecraft lore for a good while. So, here is one of the first theories ive came up with that I really like:

Heat has magical properties

Now, what do I mean by this? Well, ive noticed that in minecraft, things relating to magic (like potions, xp, etc.) can be the result of a huge ammount or sudden burst of heat!

Lets start with some small peices of evidence first: furnaces (and smokers [and blast furnaces])

To explain furnaces, I need to beifly go over xp. Xp is a PHYSICAL thing in the minecraft world, it is NOT just a gameplay mechanic. This is proven by xp bottles and how the Illagers have xp bottles in outposts (the reason for that, plus illagers in general, have to be discussed for another day, but I have the feeling that they are extremley important)

Now, furnaces, what the FUCK do they have to do with magic? Well I'll tell you!

In minecraft, you need to smelt raw ores for them to be useful, doing this grants you xp. The thing I want to direct your attention too is how ONLY ores (aka raw ores I guess, you get it) give off xp when smelted. In real life, it takes ALOT of heat to melt minerals. Possibly so much heat that the magic manifests into xp?

I do think its important to keep track of where you get xp from, since it is confirmed to be a physical item

Anyways, peace of evidence #2: more ore stuff

Coal, Redstone, Diamonds, Emeralds, Lapis, Quartz, and nether gold ore, they all drop xp.

Xp = magic = heat

All of these real life ores are made with heat or can conduct heat in real life, meaning that it makes sense that they give off xp. Redstone also conducts electricity, which gives off heat obviously, so it makes sense that theyd give off xp too

And as for nether ores, theyre in the *nether*, ofcourse theyre gonna give off heat

Admittedly im not too sure if ancient debris gives off heat, whenever I find some im too excited to mine it that I dont notice if they do or not lol

But anyways, on to #3: Lightning

Lightning in minecraft is really weird. It can convert, and even CREATE mobs that it strikes. Villagers turn into witches, pigs turn into zombified piglins, mooshrooms turn a different color, and it charges creepers (admittedly the less important attribute here)

Let me spell it out here

Witches use potions, potions rely on magic

Pigs become more sentient, smarter, and they give off, get this, MORE xp when they drop

Not sure why it converts mooshrooms though, mushrooms in general are their own can of worms

Now, for my final peice of evidence: PORTALS

The nether portal, the end portal, and that structure in the ancient city that was a portal until it wasnt, they all seem to require heat to power up for atleast ONE ingredient

Nether portals are obvious

End portals were built above lava by the Ancient Builders, ofc you dont need lava to activate it but that could either just be game mechanics throwing us a bone, or the ancient builders assumed that theyd need heat to activate the portal cus, yknow, heat = magic

And that huge part of the ancient city had soul fire beneth it. I know it isn't a portal anymore, but it definitely was at some point, hence the design implementation

One thing that could disprove this is that getting rid of fire or mining things like netherrack dont give xp, but its possible that those just arent hot enough for xp to form

Anyways, thats all I have for now in terms of Minecraft lore. @bulbasauryeee likley has more details I didnt talk about since we both theorize about the game's lore together :]

[rollercoasterwords]

i was so so so excited to read this, for a lot of reasons but mostly because i was So curious to read how you would write the spell, how it changes someone, the extension throughout the brain… he doesn’t have the memory but he still has the felling. how much memories and feelings depend in one another?!!??. is like when you don’t remember what you read, you can’t quote it, but you can remember how it felt. or like when you try to remember a song and for however reason you just CANT but its there, and your mind feels like its hollow, and it creeps on you, to feel like that for the memory of two whole years… it must be so deeply sickening. is a little like murder.

also i’m glad dorcas is with him, so they can share the grief, and just for understanding, even though they’re both so miserable they cant be a good company even for each other. and anddd sirius destroying the wall he used to hide for be able to torture, i don’t know if he meant to destroy it or if that was just a side effect of being truly happy and in love and free but anyway im glad he cant do the things his pre-obliviated self wouldn’t like to. great ch as always rae, if you like, please share a spoiler, snippet, anything.

thank u!! yeah i really wanted 2 explore the idea of memory, again, as not just something stored in like ur brain/consciousness whatever…or i suppose more accurately stored across different parts of ur brain? basically exploring the idea that ur brain is ur body & so the whole mind/body platonic dualism doesn’t really hold true etc…so like. how do we conceptualize memory loss when we think of ourselves not as mind-within-body but body-minds, what forms of memory persist even in ways we don’t usually consider ‘memory,’ etc—like the example u gave of still knowing how something made u feel without really being conscious of why, or physical habits & muscle memory, or triggers that invoke physical reactions without full understanding of why ur body is kicking in w that response, etc.

& yeah also did want 2 explore the idea that it’s a bit like murder!! like our experiences shape who we are, & removing those makes us different people in some ways…he hasn’t and can’t go back to being the person he was before, but he’s also never going to be the person he was/would have been w those memories—he’s someone different now, someone who is being shaped by the very experience of memory loss.

& also i like having dorcas back as well she’s fun 2 write <3 anyway glad ur enjoying the fic & sure i will share a spoiler abt the next ch lol:

the next ch is mostly sex. so! i am actually currently debating whether i’ll bump the rating from M to E 🤧

[hazbinhappy]

wawawawa hi! hope you are doing well!!!

i would like to request a matchup if it’s not too much trouble…

i’m biromantic and aspec and use she/her pronouns! i have adhd and autism so i tend to get super excited about things that interest me. im a huuuuuuuge nerd (especially about physics and computer science i could talk about them for hours)

im fairly introverted, but somehow also really friendly? i like listening to music and learning about new things - i also like reading books but i havent had a lot of time for that unfortunately.

as for demon form i would get totally fucked over and still be 5’2”. this is a thing that would happen to me as a person. but i’d also have bird wings which is sick as hell so its chill :3

anyways uh yeah. tysm i hope you have an awesome day/night/whatever ☺️☺️☺️

Your Matchup is....

Charlie!

It was a tad tough to choose but I think she'd be great!

you two would probably meet because Charlie decided to go exploring one day! you would probably be in a bookstore and Charlie thought that the hotel's library could use some new books!

since she had no clue what she was doing she asked the first person she saw and it happened to be you!

after a bit of chatting and helping her out she somehow convinced you to check out her rundown hotel. maybe not give redemption a try just yet, but definitely keep coming back to see her on occasions!

I think since Charlie gets excited about the hotel and redemption and her whole plan she'd love to just have conversations for hours about your guy's interests!

even if not possible she'd find a way for you to incorporate your interests into the exercises (hey the girl doesn't know what she's doing)

she wouldn't mind that you're introverted because you're still friendly and would be a great person to run the front desk and greet people once they arrive! (charlie is a bit much when you first meet her isn't she)

she thinks everyone's demon form is cool even though it's all she has known her entire life everyone is so unique! she'd play with your wings and help with them when it's grooming/molting time (she was rough the first time but she got better)

"I have a surprise that you're just going to love! Look!" Charlie pulled you along excitedly, though you didn't walk too many steps into the hotel? Suspicious.

"Ummm... what is it, Charlie?" You offer a small laugh as she still had her hands over your eyes.

"Oh!" She laughed nervously before taking off her hands, "Tada! A front desk!"

Now did you want a front desk? Not really. You didn't necessarily care too much for helping with the hotel, you were just there for Charlie, but this gets you closer to her.

She starts to ramble on about how much she loves seeing you and being around you and how this means you two can spend more time together and oh wait! Did she just mention that she convinced Alastor to reluctantly pull some strings (and limbs) to get the highest tech that isn't VoxTech!

A/N: i am doing great! these are just coming out slow cause i was busy cleaning today and i got distracted with youtube (failed as bg noise)

[desthebolt]

HIIIII! Hope you are doing well! I saw art of your characters, and I want to hear about them! I am specifically talking about the autistic vampire, because I saw that in the reference art and got so excited!!! You don’t have to reply, but as an autistic vampire enthusiast and lover of monsters in general, I would LOVE to hear more!

Sincerely, your local lurker

I AM SO SORRY im answering this like, um (checks calendar)… almost 7 months later… but hey!!! I am SO TOUCHED you wanna hear about my ocs :,) i will proceed to info dump and not shut up about them! I actually have multiple autistic vampire ocs, but im gonna assume you’re talking about Bhala! (Her ref is the only one i think that actually says she’s autistic) Anyway, ramble under read more :3c

I have a graphic novel im working on behind the scenes, and Bhala is one of the two main protagonists. She’s a cosmic witch that was freshly turned into a vetaala vampire. (Vetaal/Vetaala are a possessive ghost in indian folklore, they are restless spirits that can manifest as blood sucking ghosts or possess dead bodies). For the story, i made a pseudo hybrid between vetaal and regular flavor vampire. Bhala’s body is actually a shell/physical ghost form of what her body looked like (only now with fangs). Her real physical body is dead and buried. In folklore, the only way to banish/kill a vetaala creature is by taking the original body and performing a ritual to put the restless soul/spirit at ease. This is the same for my story, so vetaala vampires are almost completely un-killable. Most in the story hide their bodies in different countries to almost guarantee eternal life. They still need to feed off blood and souls to keep up their vitality, otherwise they become ravenous and beastly.

Bhala literally doesn’t care about any of that, she didn’t want to be this way. She tries her best to not feed off people, but she has to. She gets used to it further and further into the story, and a lot of that is thanks to her gf that she meets in the beginning of the story; Fiona (thats another ramble if anyone cares /j)

Anyway a lil more about Bhala- She’s a ray of sunshine and very sweet and compassionate, with a lil layer of sass and cleverness. She loves to tease Fiona (affectionately) and isn’t afraid to speak her mind (and throw hands if necessary). Her hyper fixation is woodland animals, specifically skunks. She owns a skunk plush that her mother made for her when she was a toddler. It is her snuggle buddy when she’s not snuggling Fiona. She even learned how to sew specifically to keep her plush, named Flower, together. If you ask her what her favorite animal is, she will talk about skunks for hours (Fiona will do this sometimes just to hear her talk)

Bhala loves jewelry and always has it on (she doesn’t really feel pain, so why not?). She also grew up playing the cello and acoustic bass. Normally, she resents most activities she had to take a part of growing up with her father, but she genuinely loves music. It helps her calm down and focus.

She fidgets A LOT, mostly with her claws, but sometimes with her jewelry and even her magical cosmic hair (which leads into a baby astral plane… which she uses as storage instead of a backpack). She does have real hair, it’s just hidden underneath the cosmic magic (she has long thick black box-braids :3)

Her powers at the start of the story aren’t that great, her father was keeping her from learning real cosmic magic. After leaving and moving in with Fiona, they find Bhala’s mother, who properly trains her in magic. By the end of the story, she’s not a master, but she’s still extremely powerful (cosmic magic is some powerful shit in this story)

She is unapologetically black/punjabi/kashmiri and a powerful trans woman, and oh boy she is a BIG lesbian. she likes them short

I think thats it for the ramble, feel free to ask me anything else! I am more than happy to info dump about my ocs :3 !!!!

[justmeinadaze]

Just woke up and first thing was the check if the bloody Chrissy drama had subsided! You got people thinking! I had a shit night sleep after it! 🤣 My personal experience with this chapter was that I personally loved the adaptation of the potential love story of Stranger Things 4 of Eddie and Chrissy in the forest and the feeling 'what if' for these two people from 'different' worlds, to then have had that progressed here and know they actually were in love and the inclusion of Vecna being in his human form as the jilted suitor/potential jilted murderer. The wording I was picking up in Chapter 1 and now 2 was giving that feeling of the reader stirring up memories of feeling a love/intimacy Eddie had not felt for a long time and trying to suppress those feelings, absolutely the guilt of that and the longing of Chrissy being the last person to make him feel that way and Steve being able to see that because he was there at the time and also encountered that person. One of my fav love stories is Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder in the film and their performances showing a love that transcends time. In that instance it's very much about that Mina is visually his long lost loves double, a reincarnation and that is what is constantly triggering Draculas feelings but here it's bringing it into a more subtle, very human experience of guilt and loss and not about reader being a physical replica of a long lost love but having personality qualities and the ability to make Eddie feel something he clearly decided was a feeling only one person could make him feel and that is triggering Eddie's desires that reach him beneath the surface that go beyond the 'fucking', my fav moments, the hidden feels, the softening of the demon. For me reader is feeling something in moments she is also not expecting for whatever reason but is reluctant to allow herself to believe it could be anything they also feel in return. So less about the 'thunderbolt' moment straight away but moments that are being described as surprising and curious instead. This is my take anyway, I'm sure it will change along the way as we get more chapters but right now I'm just feeling this excitement in being fed those tidbits of emotions and intimacy. Steve feeling very much the protector of ensuring reader is not 'hurt' by Eddie's torment of the past and I'm not clever enough to figure who her bloody dad is and why he can see demons? I see Black Mirror mentioned but I haven't watched so I'm prob missing some 'rules' or something but im just well excited for more. Cheers lovely!

First off, love you❤. Come here so I can kiss you. 😘.

Second, dont worry about not seeing the Black Mirror episode. If you ever watch it you'll see pretty much just the plot is pulled with so other little things like them being able to show her memories. You should watch it. It's a great episode!

Third: There is a reason the dad can see them and I'm telling you now you arent going to be happy about it. Lol. I will expand more on it later.

Fourth: Dude I havent seen that version of Dracula in so long lol All the blood makes me nauseas lol if I remember correct... at the end doesnt he decide not to turn her because he recognizes it's wrong? That he would never wish his life on the original version of his love let alone Mina? He recognizes he wants better for her?

I need to watch it again lol I love the comparison! I had to read Dracula in high school and I loved it. One of the few I did lol

i loveddddd the way you formatted it it was super neat and idk im just a sucker for interesting formats of swifching between past and present and like idk yeah it was cool

AND NOW OFF TO READ THE ROYALTY AU!!!

- 🪿

hi goose this is a few days old now but finally getting around to answering this!

aaa thank you I'm so glad you like my descriptions :D it was definitely a bit tough getting back into the glass writing groove with the style I use for the descriptions and stuff so I'm glad it turned out ok

"my pythia" made my skin crawl to write

YEAHHH TATTOO TIME. every single time I see fanart of the tattoo I freak out (/pos) so much because all the interpretations are SO cool. I love seeing what people come up with because I myself have no artistic ability, I can only describe what's in my head through words, so when people are able to actually put that into art form it just makes me so happy

yes exactly that's why I wanted it on his pulse!! I wanted it to sit right over the reminder that he's human! that he has blood pumping through his veins! everyone has that blood and that heartbeat and I wanted the tattoo to sit right above that both because of the connection to his heartbeat, but also because it's the place other people can feel your pulse. it's the connection point almost between your pulse and others, if that makes sense.

(random fun fact, I can't feel my own pulse on my wrist. doctors and nurses can't get a pulse from my wrist either. like there have been many times I've gone to the doctor and the nurse has tried to take my pulse and they frown and readjust their hand and then they try the other wrist and no matter what it doesn't work and I'm just sitting there. the only place you can get a pulse off of me besides straight up feeling my heartbeat is on my carotid artery on my throat)

aa thank you I had a lot of fun describing wilbur's thought processes in this chapter, especially with the alternating format

you were RIGHT about the vine tattoo you got it and it was so funny I had to just not say shit but i was like yup, several people have already figured it out :)

HIS UBER DRIVER IS HEREEEEE

aaa I'm so glad you enjoyed!! I had so much fun with the format of this chapter. I plotted it out a bit before my trip, and I specifically wanted to finish ch 25 before my trip because I knew ch 26 was going to be the one I'd most want to write after I got back. I needed a REALLY good exciting chapter to come back to and the alternating format was going to be the way I sucked myself back into the story after being out of that headspace for 3 weeks straight, and it worked. it was just so cinematic in my head y'know? I can perfectly picture the flipping between past and present with like different color grading and lighting and music and all that

[x-lucifera]

VOTE FIRST BEFORE YOU READ MY RANT ON IT! please. So it would be accurate :)

Anyway!

I love to think that they would do it once. I really like to think it would happen somewhere between episodes 1 and 2 of the second season or right after the satans pit (and considering that it happened shortly before doomsday makes the scene on the beach so much more... Painful. Cuz - the evidence A above).

But the truth is they didn't.

DT said it once during an interview that's for start.

But we can choose not to believe it (cuz creators opinions changes during the years, in 2006 they were like yeah Doctor loved Rose, that was The Love of His Life tm, and then later she became "girl he dared to almost fell in love with")

We know Doctor is asexual. That for one makes it all so much less probable. (Not impossible tho)

About first evidence from above - at first I thought he was like "oh god, u are not having our baby are u?".

But I do not think he could get her pregnant in the first place. And for sure not without them planning this whole process. They are, after all, different spieces. And it is hard to cross breed. He's a genius tho, if she wasn't mortal, and he was willing to start family again (I firmly believe he doesn't want to because of the pain of potentialy loosing everyone again) he would find a way.

People were crossing humans with animals and it was kinda succsessful, and we are mere humans with our tiny technology. Imagine what he could do with that huge brain of his, technology across time and space and his TARDIS.

So yeah now I think that face of his was more of a "you moved on so quickly you have another man and carry his child?". (It is even worse now...)

About evidence B - I personally like to think that Rose was very comfortable around the Doctor. Including being naked or nearly naked in front of him. Not that she would strip on purpose (ya know ~~) but like he walked on on her once, or they went for a swim somewhere, or he had to patch her up or she just went to the console room in her PJ. I think she knew that Doctor was not into sex so she was safe even without clothes. But he was also all about knowing stuff and studing stuff so I can imagine him asking Rose one day to let him study her. They would have a lot of laughs about it.

Also the fact he wasn't into sex doesn't mean he didn't do any physical contact. I bet they hugged a lot. Maybe he even let her sleep on him once or twice. He would read a book or train his patience xD (and isn't that a perfect opportunity to learn someones features?)

Well anyway - she was comfortable and he is a very quick study thats why he knew her so damn well he could make a statue. To me.

I also like to think (and it is my HC) that he wanted to have sex with Rose, but just for her. Like this is for some humans like an ultimate level of intimacy right? Some of them even say a proof of love. And he does love her, undeniably. And we know that he wants all the best for her even if it means without him or will cause him pain or worse. So I can imagine him trying to be very physical with her at some point but failing. Rose would also stop him because she loved him even more and she would never press him into doing something uncomfortable. Not even for her. And Rose definetly would want to go to bed with the Doctor. (Cmon who wouldn't) I bet she had some fantasies about it. I read a fianfic once and the autor wrote something among the lines that "simple act of handholding with him was more exciting than any of her sex life so she was willing to forgo this entirely" just to be close to him. I love this vision and it suits Rose entirely. So I think she wants to, she has fantasies but never acts on them. And he knows about it.

Also... We don't know (or more like I do not, cuz im still fresh in the Fandom :) feel free to inform me on the subcjet) the ways Doctor can be intimate with someone. I said that sex can be viewed as an ultimate form for humans, but he is not one.

We know that he is telepathic, so maybe that is the way for him.

Anyway! Conclusions

I do not think they fucked in canon. But I do believe (and Im willing to die on that hill) they were very intimate with each other in their own ways.

it's been 18 years and we need answers.

evidence to consider:

~LGBTQ+ Exclusive~

What will your first sexual encounter be like? 18 +

This is my first pick a card on Tumblr and I'm so excited!!! Lipgloss was the main inspo for this if you couldn't already tell. This is an 18+ reading, LEGAL ADULTS only :) Let me know what other pick a cards you want and readings are done below <3Edit: My Masterlist!

1: You might feel really nervous and embarrassed like wanting to hide within yourself. It something about genitals, I'm getting your own; you may just feel very insecure about them maybe dysphoric as well. You're very in your head about this, you may even feel pressured (NEVER have sex with anyone that pressures you; NOBODY is entitled to your body nor can they tell you what you can't and can do with your body, you don't have to have sex just because other peeps said you should) I'm getting the nervousness might make it hard to get aroused and just relax in general. This person who you're having it with may try to comfort you but I personally don't like their vibe. I feel they know you're uncomfortable but won't back down. They're extremely excited/horny but they don't get the memo that their partner doesn't feel the same way. In order to prevent this from being an experience, you may want to think about how you can better your relationship with your body and form new opinions on sex and sexuality in general.

2: Whats up to all my non binary folx??? I see you:) Cobrah-good puss is coming up, I'll link the song, this giving very much gay/lesbian vibes, a lot of people here are attracted to the same genitals they got. Wetnesssss, or lots of body fluids or lube, especially if d1cks are involved.  All the cards have something dripping or emphasis on the prrssy. Lots and lots of orgasms, you guys might feel very sticky from sweat and other body fluids. Some of you might be under the influence when this happens (I don't encourage doing things like this intoxicated) You're just gonna feel very good and I feel like the focus is more on you and you being satisfied. Whoever your doing stuff with is very chill, go with the flow type of person, even if they're cishet, they respect your identity fully (we love allies, especially when they eat us out 🥰) Yeah, think about the most arousing/ appealing scenario in your head and it will happen :)

3: Do some of y'all listen to hard techno? HEX?? Ifykyk That was v random anyway, you might feel alone? Not in a depressing way though like I think some of you consider penetration as losing your virginity so you might take it away yourself by using a d1ldo. You could have it in public, (some of you are sooo bold) you'll probably be intoxicated, like someone might just watch you touch yourself/ mutual master6ation vibs fr. Sounds v nice tho but honestly this is nothing too hot or even scandalous but I feel like this will happen where there's a lot of people. A lil quickie but make it solo and voyeuristic.

4: honestly might not be that great. Yeah I feel like its gonna happen then you'll be over it. A few of you are ace/aro trying to prove to yourself that you are... You might talk about it afterwards with a few friends or for some of you, your first experience has more than one other person involved. It might be pretty bad I'm not sure if you'll regret it though. Im not seeing pain or anything serious,  but there's a lack of interest it might be boring or not arousing at all. I feel you might do this with someone you don't care about or it could be someone very random.

5: This could take awhile to manifest/ happen. You'll feel very contradictory thoughts while its happening like you can't make up your opinion. Honestly what will happen will be different scenarios for all of yiu so maybe I'll do a reading only focusing on the physical side of it (let me know!) but you might really like some aspects and hate others. I think you're really just exploring, i think your partner/ whoever you're having this with is into helping with that. For some of you, maybe you've never  mastur6ated or watched p0rn or talked about s3x so you really might have no clue what will feel good and Im guessing you're trying to figure that out. By all means have sexual experiences whenever you want to, including masturbating; if it’s not personally something you care about and you're perfectly happy without sexual experiences, you don't need to pay attention to it, regardless of whether other people think you have to:)

6: I'm hearing focus by Allie x, this person could be older than you. This may be a very masc coupling (or actual couple) with you and your person and I mean that in terms of gender expression/identity. Age is really emphasized, maybe you find them hotter because they're older (also please pleeasse remember age is NOT just a number, the concept of maturity exists, science and common sense easily prove it) Very chill experience, for some of you, you may think its a bit lackluster. This will happen on a bed or somewhere private for most people. You guys may argue over what to do to each other,  oddly enough. They feel much more sure of themselves than you when it comes to s3x but you might just disagree on some things.  Like for example,  you might want to go all out (something like full on penetration) but they just want to give you a handjob and have you cum a few times then stop. They might not even let you touch them, not bc they doubt you or don't like you, but they have a weird mindset that your first time needs to be about getting pleased and feeling more confidant with your partner so they're only focusing on you. Its honestly kind of cute, they feel stubborn in that they want to do "the right thing". I like this (sexual) partner of yours.

↠ Diluc, Tohma, Ayato, Xiao × Reader

↠ Fluff | Scenario

↠ Before You Read:

more brainroooooot hello, im supposed to be sleeping so i can have breakfast with my siblings later for the lolz oh well, brainrot doesnt exactly let you sleep-

AND AYATO SIMPS ARE FUNNY BECAUSE CANONICALLY, HE DOESNT HAVE A FACE OR PHYSICAL PRESENCE- anyway, im hilarious because im totally in love with the version of him in my head 🥰🤡

↠ Rules for Requesting | Masterlist

• diluc teaching you how to play the card games he learned from his father and the older knights when he still was a member of the knights of favonius one stormy night under candlelight to ease yours and his boredom while the rain beat on the windows of the dawn winery.

seeing a familiar and almost forgotten gleam of excitement and amusement in your eyes - the same one his elders used to tease him about - the more you play and the more you win, his heart tells him that playing with the intricately designed cards with slightly worn out edges doesn't need to be a bittersweet memory anymore.

• tohma with a habit of kissing every part of your face except your lips. your eyelids, your cheeks, your nose, the side of your lips, your forehead, but not your lips. or at least, he tends to save your lips for last.

secondly, he loves penguin kisses. tohma's nose rubs against yours affectionately, his lips just barely hovering above yours nothing but a breath away and they form a smirk when you frown and swat at his chest. he takes his time to shower you in love and adoration, and to him, the kiss on the lips are the final seal before he sends you on your way packed with the fluttering sensation of affection on your skin.

• ayato doesn't even try to maintain his composure or act like the proper gentleman he was during the meeting he just had 5 minutes ago. he relaxes, he eases up, whatever front he puts up falls apart because with you, there's no need for it.

during dinner, he pretends to wipe away the bit of sauce that smeared on your cheek, only to sneakily smear even more and laugh at the scandalized look on your face. ayato pretends to loudly snore when you're barely on the brink of falling asleep and narrowly dodges your drowsy attempts to clamp your hand over his mouth and goes to sleep with a smile on his face and his hand slowly dragging up and down your back.

• xiao and the process of getting comfortable with you. he slowly has to ease into it of course, scared of rubbing off his karma and bad luck onto you.

but when he does, you wake up in the middle of the night to feel his nimble fingers slipping under your shirt to gently rub his thumb over the swell of your hips. he kisses your palm while he traces patterns on and reads your fortune from it, xiao would abruptly kiss the back when he had it intertwined with his. verbal affection through metaphors and other figures of speech, all translating to forms of i love you, i care for you, i adore you and all other terms of endearment, sometimes in a language unfamiliar to you, leave his lips.
