I have a yandere Neuvillette concept that has been haunting me, especially in regard to how you write him cause I really loved your series on him :3c
So imagine a Neuvillette after he kidnapped darling. He understands why you're upset, and though he will not let you go he does feel a little guilty about keeping you with him. He justifies it by telling himself (and you) that it is for your own safety and protection.
BUUUUUUT imagine Neuvillette judging a trial where the defendant did the EXACT same thing. They kidnapped someone and help them against their will for several months. The defendant implores to him and the audience that they did it to protect the victim, they did it for love.
I think Neuvillette has overseen many trials where the defendant broke the law but still had a sympathetic reason to do so - like a person who killed in self defense or someone who stole to survive. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any canon material that explores this (as far as I know - hopefully I am wrong), but I think a non-yandere Neuvillette would not let his judgement be completely clouded by the defendant's motives. They still broke the law so off to Meropide they go, but he knows when to be lenient and understanding about it.
Back to yandere Neuvillette, this trial puts him between a rock and a hard place. This defendant did the exact same thing Neuvillette did to you, he understands their motives very well. If this is a post-Archon quest Fontaine then he has complete control over the defendant's fate. Should he judge this defendant fairly, as he had with millions of ever? If he sends the defendant to Meropide, then doesn't this mean Neuvillette is guilty in the eyes of the law as well? Deep down, does he secretly think he is above the law? That his darling's well being is more important than any legislation?
But if he declares the defendant not guilty then what will this mean for the future of Fontaine? Other criminals may see this and realize that doing things for "love" is a morally sound motive to the fair Iudex. Crime, especially kidnapping related ones, might increase! The people would question why the Chief Justice declared someone not guilty when they CLEARLY committed a heinous crime. Victims of similar crimes in Fontaine might not see Neuvillette has a pillar of justice, but of someone who undermines it (a harsh realization that you had to go through when he kidnapped you).
I imagine that whatever Neuvillette's decision is, he's a little shaken up after the trial. He goes home and seeks your (unwilling) comfort, pulling you into his arms for an embrace, even if you protest and try to slip away. He treats you a little differently afterwards; maybe he relaxes on the rules and regulations he enforced on you and gives you a bit more freedom, or maybe he doubles down on his decision to keep you and gets more frustrated when you fight back.
This made me so happy! TY for sending! 😊 I love to talk about this kind of stuff. I wish I got to do it more. I'm placing this under a cut, with warnings just to be safe.
Warnings: Yandere Content, Implied Kidnapping, Implied Captivity, my bad writing, anything else I missed, 18+, Minors DNI
Neuvillette's grey area. It's my favorite thing about him.
Here's what makes him fun. He knows how to work the law(s) to his advantage. We see that with the traveler in 4.1. Neuvillette "invents" charges for the traveler to be sent to Meropide. He does so by getting them to commit a petty crime in the form of eating Furina's discarded cake. The traveler is unaware of said crime until they're sent to the actual fortress. Only then do they realize that Neuvillette pulled a harmless fast one on them. Later, we see him do it again when he goes behind Furina's back for the sake of the nation. I'm sure he felt horrible about it and tried to apologize afterwards, but he still went through with it because there was a greater good that needed to be fulfilled.
Same kind of principle applies here. Your safety is everything to him. Up until he finds you, he believes you to be in mortal danger. I imagine the moment of you just walking out all fine was a bit anticlimactic for him, but he would definitely take that over the alternative.
Through the power of his office, Neuvillette tricks the reader into coming with him vs taking them by force. The confinement portion gets a little stickier in terms of the laws. Neuvillette's reasons for taking you are sound. Those same reasons carry through to him keeping you. He was worried. He was concerned. As one of the leaders of Fontaine, he's merely performing his duty in protecting you. He can't guarantee your safety from the perceived threat if you go home. No, it's better if you stay with him until the threat passes, which could be never btw. Just because the serial k*ller has been caught, doesn't mean there aren't others who would seek to do you harm. The mafia/cartels or even the fatui are still lurking. All it would take is one report that lists potential targets with a description that vaguely matches yours and he's set with his excuse.
Just as an aside, in my mind, Neuvillette carries some built in immunity. He has a sterling reputation. It’s not fully mentioned in the story, but even if he were accused of a crime, who would believe that person? He’s the Chief Justice of Fontaine. Someone who is purposefully written above reproach in the eyes of the population. He’s not infallible, but I feel like it would take a ton of convincing for anyone to believe Neuvillette had broken the law. Then there’s the matter of who judges him? Neuvillette is the judge. Who judges the judge in a nation with no archon?
In terms of the poor soul that has found their way before him, Neuvillette would 100% find that individual guilty regardless of his actions. Laws are laws and Neuvillette's main purpose in the story is uphold those laws. Where it gets iffy is how that person is sentenced. What is the appropriate level of justice for the crime? One could argue that the reader has already extracted a specific level of justice from Neuvillette based on how they treat him. How he feels about the trial afterwards is an interesting debate. Where Neuvillette and you start vs where you end in the series are two very different places. Since we’re talking specifically about the post-archon quest relationship between the two, I’m not sure how shaken he would be. The relationship is in a very different place from where the first story picks up. I can see him visiting his past feelings on the subject and briefly questioning specific things, but in the end it doesn’t matter to him based on how the series ends.
Still, for the purpose of this though, I can see him going home and bringing you close. How willing you want to be is up to you. 😊

Since Asajj Ventress appeared in recent media and is set to appear in future shows and Star Wars content, I've seen a lot of people starting to read Dark Disciple. but besides that book, there are so many stories featuring Asajj over her 22 years of existence. So if you are looking for some recommendations and entry points to Asajj outside of the TV shows, here are some recommendations to get to know her a bit better, in both the Canon and Legends timelines:
(for anyone looking for a definitive list of everything she's ever been in, I also have that)
for anyone looking for just the list of recommendations without all my babbling, scroll down to the bottom, it'll be there.
Canon
Dooku: Jedi Lost Audiodrama - Script by Cavan Scott, preformed by full cast (also available in Script format) Starting off, this masterpiece. Telling the dual story of Asajj and Dooku, Jedi Lost is genuinely some of the best Star Wars content out there, in my opinion. Taking place early in The Clone Wars, it tells Asajj's journey battling her ghosts and uncovering her Master's history. It requires only the context of the prequels and The Clone Wars, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who likes the Prequels, Dooku, or Asajj.
Brotherhood - by Mike Chen Continuing with the book that serves as an introduction to Asajj in canon (chronologically), Brotherhood presents an interesting take on her first meetings with Anakin and Obi-Wan. She's far from the main character here, only supporting the book's plot as the villain and the initiator behind some of the troubles Obi-Wan faces on Cato Neimodia. This Asajj is more calculated, working behind the scenes while still facing off face to face against Obi-Wan and Anakin, and it uniquely handles her character. The book is a Clone Wars adventure taking place before and it requires only the movies' and TCW's context, once again. *While technically taking place after Hyperspace Stories #5, it contradicts that issue's events and makes more sense if it takes place before, so I listed it first (for more info on the contradictions you can go here)*
Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #5 - Written by Amanda Deibert, with art by Riccardo Faccini (Variant cover by Cary Nord) Taking place shortly after Anakin's knighting, before The Clone Wars show, this is a short and interesting comic story for Asajj. While tying into an over-arching plot of the series, this issue stands alone well. Simply put, Asajj is sent to retrieve a mysterious item by Count Dooku and encounters Anakin and Obi-Wan in the process. It has fun art, fun dynamics, and it's really good.
Worthless - a short story from Stories of Jedi and Sith - written by Delilah S. Dawson with an illustration by Jake Bartok This one is not as set on the timeline, but we do know it takes place while Asajj is still working for Dooku. In short, without too many spoilers, Asajj falls into a pit and has to trust on a Clone Trooper's help to get out. The story is a part of an anthology, but it completely stand-alone on its own. If you can read it on its own, I recommend it, but the rest of the book is also very much worth it if you want to buy it for the story. Dawson captures a version of Asajj that rarely gets attention, before the Nightsisters, and manages to show her identity and tell a wonderful story without that tool that's often overly used (in my opinion).
Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle #3 - Written by Cavan Scott with art by Francesco Francavilla & Nick Brokenshire Jumping forward in the Timeline, we have another Asajj story by Cavan Scott! It has Bounty Hunting, A baby Sarlacc, pretty art, fun coloring, and Asajj. So what's not to love? Like Hyperspace Stories, Return to Vader's Castle also has an over-arching plot, but that's 4 framing pages of Vaneé being a bitch and has no effect on the rest of it. Solid stuff. (it is also the source of the first picture in this post)
Sisters - a short comic story from the Age of Republic Special - written by Jody Houser with art by Carlos Gómez Next, we have a wonderful short story taking place just before The Clone Wars episode "To Catch a Jedi". In just a few pages, Jody Houser brings conflict and personality to Asajj's time on Coruscant. And there's gorgeous art.
Legends
While Legends, and especially the comics, have some of my favorite stories with Asajj, it's hard to recommend individual issues. They can be stand-alone but still connected and ingrained in the ongoing story of the comics. But I tried to hand-pick the best for introduction and knowledge of who Asajj is a character there. So I won't recommend the 12 issues she's in, I set myself the limit of sticking with the same number of recommendations I had for canon.
Star Wars: Republic: The New Face of War - 2-issue Comic arc - written by W. Haden Blackman with art by Tomás Giorello Although I'm assuming you all have at least a passing familiarity with Asajj's character, introductions are still important. And, yes, Asajj first appeared in a different comic and after a month or so in Clone Wars (2003), but chronologically, in-universe, this is her first appearance. The Face of War is comprised of issues #51 and #52 of the Star Wars: Republic comic series, and although Asajj is only in the last page of #51, it's necessary context. This one isn't a must for me, but it sets the ground for her. And it's good. Giorello's art brings a unique perspective to Asajj's character, and by that I mean it may not be to some people's taste. So take your pick with this one.
Star Wars: Republic #53 - written by W. Haden Blackman, with art by Brian Ching If the last one isn't a must, this one is. It is a stand-alone adventure, almost feeling like a (better) TCW episode. Obi-Wan is off to infiltrate a Techno Union base with a team of all-star legendary Jedi that are introduced, and everything goes wrong when they run into the Confederacy's best, Durge and Asajj Ventress. I say it's a must because it establishes the nature of the rivalry between Obi-Wan and Asajj, and gives us such a sense of who those people are. It also lays the foundations to my next comic recommendation.
Dark Heart - short story by August and Cynthia Hahn This one, a 1784-word story, originally published on Wizards.com as a part of The Living Force roleplaying campaign, is definitely not a must, but it's barely 2k words, just read it. In all seriousness though, it captures Asajj's essence and I just. love it. You can read it right now, that's the link in the name, it's up online for free legally. While it is a part of the RPG campaign, I read it individually and had no trouble at all.
The Cestus Deception - by Steven Barnes (The Japanese cover is prettier and has Asajj, ok?) Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto head to the planet Ord Cestus to try and convince Ord Cestus's government to ally with The Republic. But under the surface, a mysterious scheme had developed and it gets messy. Never ask me to write a publisher's summary. Asajj is the villain of this one, and I don't have much to say about it, but it is good. Fair warning: it hasn't aged the best in my opinion, and not even in a politically correct sense, some of the descriptions and relationships were questionable at best. If you like Kit Fisto and political adventuring and Clone Wars fights and a mascarade ball, if I remember correctly, this one's for you. It's not much of a story for Asajj but it is a fun read.
Star Wars: Republic #60 - written by W. Haden Blackman with art by Tomás Giorello I have never ever not once said it but this right here is my favorite Asajj story of all time ever. It does require context, though, so here's it: after the battle of Jabiim, Alpha-17 (Legends Arc Trooper, you may have heard of him) and Obi-Wan (a staple in Asajj's stories, he needs to gtfo women's business) are blown up and declared dead. Turns out Asajj Ventress has been holding them in her castle on the planet Rattatak and this is the daring story of their escape. In this issue, Asajj's origin story is revealed, before the Nightsisters had anything to do with her. More than any other Legends issue, it differentiates greatly from anything you know about Asajj in TCW/Canon. She's a warlord, with armies at her beck and call, a military commander, And it's fun. Her origin story is told in this issue, and it's such a great story that shifted my understanding of her a lot. The art, once again, is by Giorello, keep it in mind.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous - by Sean Stewart (Japanese cover, once again) Last but certainly not least, the Legends Clone Wars book I've heard the most positive reviews of, and was not disappointed in the slightest. It is as good as they say. The story doesn't focus on Asajj, and she isn't even the main antagonist, but she gets a meaningful role in it and has her place and her arc in the story. It's also my favorite approach to how Asajj would act when she has to deal with children. Worth the hype and an excellent book to read unrelated to Asajj.
Alright, that's all! I hope you check out at least one of these, they're all great. As said before, I also have a complete list of everything Asajj in chronological order. Feel free to ask me anything about the list and the things in it. I can also give a complete comic reading list for her, since it's a bit more than just the issues she appeared in. For anyone struggling with the accessibility of these recommendations, I have a hopefully comprehensive guide in the complete appearances post. And now just this list because I promised that:
Canon 1) Dooku: Jedi Lost Audiodrama - Script by Cavan Scott, preformed by full cast (also available in Script format) 2) Brotherhood - by Mike Chen 3) Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #5 - Written by Amanda Deibert, with art by Riccardo Faccini (Variant cover by Cary Nord) 4) Worthless - a short story from Stories of Jedi and Sith - written by Delilah S.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYA MATCHUPSSS
I'm a girl and I'm looking for a pjsk matchup!
my personality?? um, god I'm an annoying motherfucker. when I find someone who's willing to listen, I will yap for hours about my interests. I have hpd, bpd(?), and adhd which is super duper fun totally 😐 but I think I'm funny maybe idk? I'm really insecure and I like actually can't find anything good about myself 😓 maybe I'm a fast learner? I'm sort of a nerd like, I'm in accelerated math 🤓
things I'm most sensitive to? idk what this means but ig I hate bugs and clowns and vomit and that shit. also when my s/o isn't giving me attention I would literally start screaming crying shaking.
my number one talent is simping. 💀 I have a shrine for 2 different people and when I have a crush on someone they're all I talk about 😭
my hobbies are drawing, writing, playing pjsk, and screaming lyrics of songs I like really loudly. I've also been getting back into dance lately that's pretty sigma. age range is 13-15 and there are no characters i don't want to be matched up with
what i want in an s/o? think of seo changbin from skz 🤩 jkjk (only slightly) i want a s/o thats nice to me, is at least slightly taller than me, (5'4), is funny, has decent fashion sense, and a real nice voice (but I suppose that's all the pjsk boys..)
what i don't want in an s/o is as I stated earlier, someone who doesn't give me attention, someone who puts me down, someone who brushes off my interests, and someone with a bad hairstyle /hj
yeah ty!! if this ask gets sent into the void I WILL cry!!!
' . < Project sekai matchup No. 1~! > . '
A/N: omg you do good in math??? You sound like a good s/o already. Girl if you like think think im sure you can find good stuff abt you. Liiiike you have a nice humor you made me crack a smile several times while reading this. Also idk youre just a fun person. ADHD? I xan relate. Its not confirmed but i probably do have it. Liek seriously whenever im doing my my math i just randomly start daydreaming and my mom always has to snap me back to reality. Thankfully she finds it funny lol and doesnt scold me for it. Also we're the same height so yay. Also same age range. We kin eachother fr.
Anyway! For the grand reveal, I match you up with....
` . < Rui~! > . '
A/N: Im sorry when you said you want someone who shows you attention i immediately thought of rui.
He will listen to every single detail of your rambles about your interests
Honestly finds it adorable
As someone who also rambles a lot about his own interests, he can relate
He understands that you have hpd and will give you all the attention in the world if you so desire
I like to think he will be very physically affectionate. With this mam, how could you NOT get all the attention in the world??
Finds your 'annoying' personality endearing
Sometimes just watches you draw over your shoulder without saying a word and then you just turn around and see him there and be like 'wth did you come from??'
Asks you to draw him
Loves to just watch you and observe you dance. Might even ask for you to teach him on of your dances. (Idr if it its canon that wxs dances but they prolly do, so)
Def teaches you one of the dances he performs
Im not sure if he has a decent fashion sense.. Idk depends ony our perspective
His voice though? Its the definition of nice. Like out of all the boys his is gentle and smooth. Sounds nice to me

I saw another take related to my previous ask. It was about how the narrative goes out of its way to get you to sympathize with Zuko, but always demonizes Azula. Apparently Zuko even gets more sympathy than the rest of the Gaang for his situation and is constantly excused and coddled by the narrative, which means he doesn't really work for his redemption so much as it is just given to him. They also added in the age thing, where Zuko and even Mai and Ty Lee are depicted as victims and child soldiers who were forced into the war, like in The Beach. They were depicted with respect for the fact that they were children fighting a war and the narrative emphasized the fact that they were children and how awful it was for them to be sent into battle, but the Gaang doesn't get that same courtesy. I'm wondering what you think about this take that Zuko is offered more sympathy for his circumstances while the rest of the Gaang's struggles/Azula's struggles are not?
The thing about these claims is that they are so vague as to be meaningless. Zuko gets sympathy vs Azula being demonized where, exactly? Because most of the time when people say this, they ignore that Azula is demonized for hurting others, which she should be. Where is it shown as more okay for Zuko to hurt the gaang? In fact, when I think about Zuko hunting the gaang, I remember a lot of humor at his expense, which he deserves because what he's doing is wrong. He's treated as a lot less of a threat than Azula because she's shown to be more deadly, both because she's more successful and because she is more ruthless.
Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee are depicted as victims because they are being forced to fight by Ozai and Azula. The three of them are shown to have times where they tried to say no and were forced into it anyway. Azula doesn't have that because she is shown to want to take part in Ozai's imperialism, hence also why she is given less sympathy. It would be extremely troubling if that were not the case, if a character who was never shown to disagree with causing harm, and was shown to be very good at it, were treated as sympathetic.
But they still are not depicted as child soldiers. They are depicted as characters in a fun fantasy adventure story. They are frequently depicted as having fun fighting, just as the gaang are, because this is a story meant to entertain children, not a nonfiction story meant to educate about the horror of child soldiers. Even stuff like Zuko's abuse or Mai and Ty Lee being coerced by Azula cannot be treated with the weight it would have if it happened in the real world. Many people have pointed out that if Zuko sustained a burn like that in a realistic story, not to mention being sent out to sea shortly after with minimal time to heal, he would most likely end up severely physically disabled if he even survived, not to mention the psychological effects that would have. Ty Lee and Mai would be a lot less well-adjusted, they wouldn't be making snappy banter. These characters are technically children and talk like American teenagers, but fight like and frequently think like adults. They are not real children and their situations cannot be compared to that of a child soldier, because they are fictional and everything they are came from the mind of an adult with the purpose of telling an entertaining story for children about children saving the world.

Nyello, do you have any fic/au ideas that you’ve thought about but not posted?
hi nate :3 ty for de ask
there’s definitely several ideas that have been rattling around in my brain for ages (including continuations for the gc fic lmao)
I suppose the biggest thing I’ve never posted on tumblr (that I recall anyway? I don’t think I ever mentioned it on here but ik I did in mistocord) was the nobility/whodunnit au, which was my human murder mystery au set kinda late 1800s/early 1900s in england. I put sooooo much effort and thought into it and recently it’s been creeping back into my brain but. this is really embarrassing LMAO but I can’t remember what the motive of the murderer was 💀 I never wrote it down!! I assumed I’d remember something important as that but apparently not lol. but! I have been brainstorming a new one lately and I was recently looking back through my (extensive) notes on it so that’s. something that might come back eventually? maybe? Idk but it was SO much fun.
Quick recap of the general overview: Silvanus Deuteronomy, wealthy Duke and Certified Bastard(tm) hosts an annual Ball known as, (here it comes), the Jellicle Ball! The Duke is found dead in his study on the evening of the Ball and every guest is a suspect with motive (oOoOoOoOo~). Whodunnit? His son Munkustrap, set to inherit the title and estate? Munkustrap’s wife, Lady Demeter? Or perhaps the Duke’s other son, the rebellious Rum Tum Tugger? It was well known that they had a troubled relationship… Nobody could suspect his daughter Jemima, could they? But it turns out Jemima knows more about the goings-on in the family than her brothers expected…
Perhaps it was Victoria, the daughter of his cousin who’s lived with them for several years? Silvanus recently found out about her forbidden relationship with a servant of the house, Mungojerrie…
Speaking of servants, more than one of them have a motive, too. Between blackmail, illegitimate children and debts, a few of them would have reason to take a blade to the Duke’s throat. And what’s more, as the Manor House is snowed in during a storm the night of the murder, with no help to be reached other than the inexperienced, vivacious detective and her assistant already in attendance at the Ball, it comes out that there are motives for murder among the numerous high profile guests. The Lords and Ladies of the country are placed under scrutiny by the sharp-minded Trudicat and her slightly bumbling assistant Attionsoles (he’s a himbo there’s no other way of putting it)
What’s more, it turns out that Deuteronomy’s old political nemesis, Lord Macavity has planted spies under his very roof… and that he has a dark and dangerous obsession with a certain daughter-in-law of Silvanus’s…. (Someone also sent a pair of assassins on the night of the ball… apparently several people wanted the Duke of Jellicle dead.)
featuring many, MANY ocs, a lot of creative license and an unrealistic (but very, very fun) amount of drama. brought to you by my love of period pieces (read:downton abbey) and murder mysteries (read: I have consumed way too many murder books and shows)
I definitely missed stuff in this but damn did I have fun revisiting this au so thank you again for the ask nate <3
#cats the musical#jellicle cats#mean like a minx and lean like a lynx#human au#ask#thank you for the ask!#I’m not tagging them all sorry#nobility/whodunnit au

anonymous sent: Your Sigyn is holding hands and skipping merrily with Loki's other lovers while mine's stuck in a political drama evading his mistress's assassination attempts. I suspect your Sigyn is enjoying the married life a little more than mine is.
my sigyn offers yours her condolences, because she thinks that sounds awful.
more seriously though - this is the great thing about rp, isn't it? we've all got different (and equally valid!) ways of seeing and writing about our characters, and it's always so interesting me to hear about other people's versions of sigyn.
whenever i post stuff like this, it's always from the perspective of my sigyn and the way i write her. that post frustrated me because the implication that being in a relationship is universally synonymous with 'taming' / 'tying down' / fundamentally changing your partner really rubs me the wrong way. and to me that post feels like a total misunderstanding of the dynamic between sigyn and loki, too.
sigyn loves loki because of who they are, not in spite of that, and i like to think that the same is true of loki's feelings for sigyn. she isn't there to nullify the mischief and chaos that comes with them - they balance each other out. and to be honest, as far as my sigyn is concerned, she very much enjoys causing a little mischief herself; she's not some goody-two-shoes who sits there wringing her hands while loki has all the fun.
as far as loki's other lovers are concerned, it has always been more interesting to me personally to write sigyn as having positive relationships with them. the root of that is in the way i approach her mythologically: she and angrboða love one another, too. they and loki are all in love with one another. they love their children equally regardless of which of them bore them. and in writing sigyn i've found it impossible to have her behave differently where other lovers (and children!) of loki are concerned. the family sigyn was born into is unconventional but fiercely loyal and loving; she approaches the family she makes for herself in exactly the same way.
and if you view your sigyn differently, that's fine! but this is how i view her, and her relationships, so the content and commentary you see on this blog is going to reflect that 🧡
#anon.#answered.#ooc.#meta.#tbt.#i wish i knew who sent this tbh#again this is purely my opinion#and pertains to *my* sig and her dynamic with the wonderful lokis i write with here!

definitely agree with the things youre saying! i think with the “issue” of the physical appearance of people truly isnt whether if a person is dark-skinned and muscular that is the problem, or why a short person should be submissive or whatnot, and if you do portray things that way thats fine. however, if you portray it in a way where it feels almost… fetishizing, instead of just treating it like “oh yeah this is a trait and not the characters entirety” Then it becomes a problem. its also definitely not marauders fandom centric, tho i do see it a lot here at times.
maybe the solution to all of this is to be normal and chill about things like race and sexuality and gender, but unfortunately that is apparently very hard for greater fandom spaces to do. tho im not saying everyone in the fandom space does this, and im not saying that indulgence or tropey nonsense is bad as long as it doesnt hurt anyone, but quite unfortunately the foundations of fandom Are built by white women and that ideology carries throughout the whole space. its just something people have to keep and mind and reflect on every once in a while.
anyway all in all definitely agree with your takes on the greater issue, even if i may disagree with some of your opinions on characters or stuff. i think generally people should have fun with their fanon little world (or canon little world if thats what they want more), but like people should just be more sensitive with material theyre handling as well as how they portray it. tldr please be normal about the marginalized is the best way to put everything LMAO
thank you for answering and also enjoying my little rants, i hope you dont mind if i enter your inbox again in the future! i like seeing your thoughts on things ^^
(also if you didnt know im the one who sent you that one “james survives” fic where he and the marauders raise harry, currently still reading it but it is a delight hehe)
hello again!
you sent me the fic??? tysm 🥹🫶🏼 I'll take your word!!
yes, that's exactly what I meant with the physical appearance. it's changing the existing description to put them in certain boxes that bothers me! otherwise, go ham!
right point about white women! they tend to take center stage.
it's not fanon that bothers more so the unchecked stereotypes like said. since poc and queer folk are greatly involved and finally feel safe enough to speak out, white/cishet folk should do the hard work, right? I had fun writing all that, btw, so ty again!!
you're so right, it's just to have fun and be nice about it!! (I don't mind at all, anon!! pls visit more :D and if you like, leave a nickname or emoji I can identify you with?) have a great day <3

heyyy questions for opal :) 2, 14, 30, B!
Wow did you know that if you ctrl-z in tumblr's new text editor it will delete everything you've been typing and not put it back. I HAD... SEVERAL PARAGRAPH ANSWERS THAT I HAD TO REDO. TRYING TO BE SERENE ABOUT THIS. anyways ty these were really fun especially B, i dont think i've talked this much about my oc making process before! answers below
2- How easy is it for your character to laugh?
HMM. I think surprisingly kind of hard! not that he's too serious for it, I think that opal just doesn't get jokes very easily, and has a hard time telling when people are joking. but the 'if you have to explain the joke it isn't funny' rule totally doesn't apply to him, if a joke goes over his head he WILL laugh after you explain it to him.
if i had to think of something that would for sure make them laugh... i feel like visual stuff gets him for sure, i think they'd really love those little dogs on social media with the fucked up haircuts.
they'd laugh so hard they'd pass out at this thing
14- What animal do they fear most?
probably just any large dangerous animal. he has a sort of scared prey animal quality about him... i think he has 'being chased by a jaguar/tiger/bear/shark' dreams a lot. but it's really just anything they think could eat them and or rip them apart physically, common phobia animals that are more just 'creepy' like snakes or bugs are no problem.
30 - Who do they most regret meeting?
HMMM. interesting to answer because the campaign opal was in has been concluded for a while and I feel like he's resolved most of his personal issues with people. also, he's not very good at holding grudges really lol
there were some characters that were making his life harder for reasons he, at the time, did not have the full scope of understanding. opal viewed his involvement with them as his own fault (impulsively went in on crazy expensive body mod surgeries, ended up in debt to a kinda-evil rich guy & regularly being harrassed by someone sent to collect) so he definitely regretted it. but, again, things turned out to be a lot more complicated!
honestly upon finding out he was involved in some huge-scale universe at stake stuff after all, rather than being upset he was mostly just like oh i don't owe that guy thousands of dollars fr? Sweet (instantly forgets about all of it)
B- What inspired you to create them?
most of the campaigns i am or have been in have a particular time period they're set in, so that's usually where my dnd character concepts start! with opal's we were prompted to choose a distinct era/universe of our choosing for our player characters, since they'd all be from different worlds. i definitely had retro futurism on the brain for opal, specifically 80s to y2k era...
he's a character that came to me in aesthetic and design first i think. more than the more shiny glam looks that come to mind in y2k futurism and modern stuff that replicates it, i really wanted that sort of... sterile, uniform-y, limited color palette look. lots of beige and white and grey, functionality-first and technical-made-fashionable. his outfit is just the company-assigned uniform he wears to his manual labor and service jobs, but it still has that cute stylish spin to it!
a specific example i referenced would be these looks from Michiko Koshino F/W 1996. graphic and fashionable while still evoking the functionality and simplicity of a uniform or other more practical wear.
the future opal is in is really the future as it exists in a dated, speculative vision from the 80s to early 2000s. not quite as fantastical as a lot of space-age futurism, because it's from an era where 'futuristic technologies' were really beginning to be made on a consumer scale and put to use in day to day life... so it's a bit more cynical and fearful and dystopian, because the practical applications & the consequences of futuristic advancements were a bit easier to consider.
opal's world has the bleak nightmarish feeling of i have no mouth and i must scream & even to more overtly comedic degrees as like, black mirror lol... but it's still kind of silly and impractical and campy. as much as he exists as a working class individual in a hyper capitalist hellworld, those 'zenon girl of the future' disney movies are a big ingredient to him as well! as miserable as his life gets he isn't meant to be a sad character. he's not mopey. he gets dressed up in silly little outfits and has a silly little laser gun.
Wow did you know 2001 a space oddysey and barbarella came out the same year? it's that sort of dichotomy of scifi vibe.
uhhh also i'd just played a confident mean boy (kalibri) and thought a spineless scared guy would be fun to try next

Hello!! I haven't sent an ask in forever and there's so much more I want to ask about with your lore and ocs omG. I will try to be reasonable n keep it brief though ;0;
One of your story names changed, Condemned!! Was there a big revamp in it to go with that change? I love Vega's design a LOT just from that headshot omg, she looks very cool!! How does embodying Vengeance AND Balance work out?
haha...I have more I'd like to ask actually (about your sona dudes and their deals) but i think in case this answer is long (which I'd LOVE) I'll send that later. :-] (I will say though, i'm happy you're able to enjoy vore n other things publicly on here now!! you've got such chill vibes imo, you deserve to be enjoyin whatever the hell you want on your own blog! 👍)
OMG HELLO, NICE TO SEE U AGAIN :D
Yes! Actually Condemned used to be called Cadence which was Hunter’s story! Now its been completely changed to match better vibes :3 its… such a crazy big revamp, and its been daunting but so far i LOVE the direction its taken. If you like Galactic scale action then it is 100% the story for u <3 cause its scale is INSANE.
Vega’s a neat one and i really love her honestly, so she used to be JUST balance. But Rane did a number on her and essentially severed her from her other half and in the process left his mark on her. Now Balance has been out of wack for a while and even when Vega is reformed into who she once was, everything is still out of balance. So, she became the Wraith of Vengeance as well as Balance because she reformed with such explosive rage that it brought about a obsession with vengeance she would soon enact on the wraith of war. (With the help of Hunter and Trace)
And i know thats all very gibberishy atm but i swear im COOKING. Its gonna be so cool when its all out of the oven and cohesive. Condemned is actually being posted a lot on Patreon rn so you have like Hunter’s design posted rn, Rane’s wip sketch is coming out next month, and then Vega’s full body is comin too! So if u wanna see more and fast thats where it is (Not to boost… it but also yes to boost it HRNG EXCITEMENT!!)
Omg plz ask about those freaks i love them SO MUCH.
Also ty! All i have ever tried to do is make a really chill nice environment for myself and all people i interact with. And I’m honestly rlly happy to be out in the open with my enjoyment of Vore. Until the later half of this year i really haven’t felt like i could be myself truly. So getting to do it now feels really cool, and theres so much stuff coming to tumblr and patreon now thats just more self indulgent and fun! Its just very exciting!!

I am comfortable in my hammock. I'm having a pretty nice day. Even if other people are bringing me down a bit. I am trying to let things ago. Let myself be happy. But it is very hard. This is why I like being alone up here.
I slept alright last night. It was hard getting up but I honestly felt fine when I got up. I hugged on James. They had brought my stuff to the car already because they are great. Love my husband. Very quickly though I was on the road.
I stopped for breakfast. Gave a person begging what I could. The woman at the window commented that they were just going to use it for something they shouldn't. And I said that my character is judged by what I did to help, where my heart was, not what she did with it after. That's on her character. And the woman at the window agreed with me and said I had a good heart.
I got to camp at 8. Someone driving out, the entrance, gave me a dirty look. And there was a baby bunny I had to stop for. But it was normal beyond that.
It was chilly. I got out of the car and found that the art building was musty but it was fine. I was not happy about the tent was not out back
I had to move my tables. And there was trash. But the thing that made me angry was my table cups, that have materials like colored pencils and scissors, were left on the picnic table so they were filled with water form the rain and a bunch of supplies were ruined. I was furious. I sent a very cursey text to CJ just because if I didn't say it to someone I was going to say it in the group chat and get fired.
Ty would come go to tell me that there was trash and mess at homestead and the very old chicken, grandma, was injured!!! We were worried that it was children in the enclosure or something. So we decided to go to the office to talk to Alexi.
Alexi was understanding. She is hopeful that it wouldn't be the kids who hurt grandma and was maybe a fox. But she is discouraged that the areas aren't being treated appropriately.
As we were talking and going through complaints and ideas to make it better Kieran came in and told us that the chef claims that there was a bear in the trash!! So now we're like was it a bear??? Wild.
We headed back to arts and crafts. And it would be a fine day. Tati was great and super helpful. She would be in charge of the hot glue and would get so good at it by the end of the day. Like we were figuring out how to layer yarn to look like hair and she really has it down by the end.
I would read a little. Work on my knitting. And we would talk about the weekend and our projects and the plan for the day. And the group would be late but they would come soon enough.
And the project is going pretty well so far!! I'm glad I didn't put all the markers out because they would break some. But overall they were great with the materials and I loved what they made. Not everyone did a person but I said animals were fine as long as they had faces. And it was just really fun to see what they came up with.
Both my morning groups did well. And then it was lunch time. Which ended up being a bust. They had hot dogs. I wish they did vegetarian hot dogs but instead we got some kind of stir fry. Which I was not feeling so I had a hot dog bun and went to make Mac and cheese. I was nice sitting with friends though. But at noon I went to make the Mac and cheese at the office.d
Tyler would join me to use the microwave. And he would give me a cinnamon twist from his dominos leftovers which was excellent. We ate on the porch and we were able to get some paperwork done that camp needed for the reaccreditation that's happening this week.
Speaking of that though. I got very frustrated later in the day because Cody would come up to our building and he gave me a paper that he said we should have been filling out and he was surprised that I had never seen this before. Basically it's an entire list of materials that the programs use. I don't know if you guys can picture what the art building looks like. But it would take me days to document all of the stuff and quantities of things that are in here. And he wants it done by tomorrow. That is impossible task and not fair that they are asking of me two days before the accreditation is happening. This shouldn't have been given to me now it should have been given to me during training. When there was actually a chance of me having time to do that. So I'm very overwhelmed by that but I'm trying not to let it bother me and I'm going to try to have Tatiana just list everything she can see in the room and will make estimations of what things are. Because man am I stressed out about that.
After lunch though I had my two-day camps and my older kids. And it went really well. I brought the metal stamping kit with me and a couple people made coins today and that was really fun. A couple of the counselors got really into it. And everyone really likes painting on the wood and so because I do not have enough spoons I texted Joe and asked if he would mind cutting wood for me just to have more pieces. And he said he would and that was really great of him.
During my half hour break after my day camp but before my older kids Dad called and we talked for half an hour and I wish we could have talked longer. It was really good to hear him and he sounded really strong and healthy. I know he started physical therapy again today and I really hope it helps him regain some confidence and balance. But it was nice to talk and I got to tell him all about Jess's house and some stuff at camp that's been drama. But it was just really nice talking to him even if it was just a short period of time.
And like I said the older girls really enjoyed making bracelets and beads and one of the girls made a stamped coin and then their counselor was really into it and made a couple. Including one that said on Wednesdays we wear pink. And I thought that was so funny. So at the end of the day I would sit down and I would stamp out the whole quote about being crazy in a rubber room with rats. Because the younger boys say it all the time and I thought it would be funny to show that to them. It did take me a while to make though.
My last group was with Trista and I love Trista. I was very sad that I missed their class last week when I had to go to the doctor. And we had a nice conversation while the kids worked and talked to Tatiana made sure that the kids pieces didn't look bald unless that's what they wanted. We had this bit going with this one child who made there character green with very sparse orange hair and we kept going. Oh my God. How did you do that. It's like a mirror. You you did that so well. And just being so dramatic about it. And she would go I know like no one believes just I made this That's how good it is. It was very silly.
But at 4:15 I said goodbye to everyone and I grabbed my pool bag and I headed out. I was going to go swimming because it was really hot out. And it was the hottest time of the day.
There were so many kids in the shower though so I couldn't get changed in the bathroom so thankfully no one was using the laundry room and I wouldn't change them there after chatting with the lifeguards for a few minutes. I checked in with CJ as well who had to be a counselor today because Candela is not here from Spain yet. Something happened with her flight but she should be here tonight. And then I got in the water. And it was beautiful.
I was just kind of sit in the cold for a while and eventually would get most of my hair wet. Celia did not remember her bathing suit again. I'm actually just texted her to tell her to put her suit in her backpack so that this does not happen again. So she would just sit with her legs in the water but eventually Antonio and Annabelle joined me. And it was fun watching the kids do pool canoes and I just floated for a while and it was a good temperature and I felt very happy being in the water.
At 5:00 I decided to get out. The kids were going swimming again after their canoes and I went and took a shower. Max was in the bathroom trying to clean but because of girls bathing suits they just bring so much water and that it's impossible to clean it because it's all wet. So he had to wait a while anyway and I went to go take my shower and felt so much better afterwards.
I came back up to arts and crafts and I felt okay. Kind of uncomfortable but fine. I would hang out for a while in the outside hammock and was reading. I did my rubber rat crazy stamp thing. And then once it was closer to 6 I took my book and went down to the lodge.
I got lots of pillows from wonderful children on my way there. And when I got there I sat in the back corner and I read for a while. The colts book is okay. I've decided I'm going to skip the ones that I'm not super interested in right now but I think I would like to go back to a narrative book tomorrow. We'll see. I have a couple still that I would like to read on my shelf this week. Got nothing's really calling to me yet. I was not really looking forward to dinner when I heard that they combined the vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy concern dinner into one thing. Again. I don't understand why the chefs don't understand that they should just be making whatever everybody else is having as close to that as possible. Because for some ungodly reason today we had turkey patties for dinner, which apparently work gross. But the vegetarians had ratatouille. And it wasn't even good. It just tasted like stewed tomatoes with undercooked zucchini in it. I hated it and I was very upset. The one saving Grace was I asked Charlotte if I could have two rolls and at first she was like well if another child doesn't get a role coming out of your pay. But she gave me two rolls. And then I ended up getting a third roll. I wish it had butter but at least it was carbs. And they know I'm supposed to be even less carbs but they're the only thing that makes me feel not shaky. I'm trying. I'm not trying that hard but I am trying.
I was kind of sad though. Dinner just made me feel depressed. Tyler was also feeling depressed. I don't know why I'm switching between Ty and Tyler in this post But they are the same person. Just in case you weren't sure. But he was not happy either and we left and went up to the art building together. Where he made his own coin and memory with Grandma. Who is not dead but has gone home to her owner to heal. He also told me that he did find a bird net to go over the enclosure so hopefully nothing else can get in. And I hope that the office buys it ASAP.
I decided to fall back on the things I used to do when I was sad and grad school and I made a tote bag. I'm really proud of it actually because the fabric on the outside is the same as the inside and I made sure that all of the pattern is going the correct direction so all the pictures are facing the right way and it has velvet handles and a flat bottom. I'm really proud of it. It's a little oversized and floppy And I really like that. And I sent it to Jess and she made a big fuss that how beautiful it was and now I want to make more tote bags to possibly put it in my market table. So that's a consideration right now. I'm not that concerned about it though but maybe I'll knock out some cutting and that's always the part I hate the most anyway and I have big tables here so we'll see.
Tyler would head out And I would finish sewing my bag. And then I would take a walk to the nurse. I had choked on a roll as we were leaving the dining hall and I had upset myself from coughing so hard. But some water on my face helped and then I came back up here after chatting with PJ outside of the building for a bit. The air quality was very bad today and I guess we've all just given up on caring about that because I never even got an air quality alert on my phone. Even though it was at the same numbers it was the other week when we were all forced to be inside. So that's cool. I'm not annoyed by that at all.
And when I came back up here I hung out in my hammock for a while. The mosquitoes were eating my legs for the first time this summer and I hit a mosquito and blood got everywhere. I have no idea if it was my blood or somebody else's blood I was not happy about it. So I came inside and put on more bug spray and started winding down.
I closed the door at 9:00 and brushed my teeth. And I've been laying here for a while now. I hope tomorrow was a good day. I hope that my stress is of today lesson. Because honestly I had so much fun with my groups I just hate how much other people's energy brings me down. And so many people are coming to me. And it's not that I don't enjoy that I want to be a rock for people I want to be here to listen. Tatiana even said today that I was famous because every time I'm not here a million people apparently come to the door looking for me. But I just wish that it wasn't always negative. I don't mind some negative. I want to hear when things are wrong. But I also need to be positive about camp. I like this job. I like being here. I just don't like all the other crap outside of it. Fingers crossed that I can just be happy. Despite everything else.
I also really hope I sleep well tonight. I'm pretty comfortable right now and it's not supposed to be rainy or anything tomorrow so I'm hoping there's no big spikes and humidity. And I just hope it's a nice day. I hope you all have a nice day. I hope you are safe out there in the world. I also found out that my very first friend in Baltimore, Ben's husband passed away suddenly today. So I just want to remind everyone that you never know when things not going to be over. And to tell the people you love how much you love them. Until next time.

(don't lose it this time, jkjk)
helloo xander! sry it took me longer to respond i got caught up in some projects and assignments. not a valid excuse tho since xander > projects. dw i won't make that mistake next time!
(I hope my eyebrows grow back quickly too!! they’re taking they’re damn time!! ooooo that definitely made the difference, I loved them. hmmmm I’m curious of this pinch of lemon… maybe I’ll sacrifice my good taste to try something new)
hmph, growing back an eyebrow is insufferable work. those dam things are so stubborn. anyways, the lemon is actually not lemon extract, but lemon zest? i sent over a small batch so lemme know if you like it! if not, i'll stick to the other recipe :)
(WHATTT!??? OFCCC YOU’RE INTELLIGENT YOU WANTED TO BE FRIENDS WITH ME!! okay but in all seriousness you are :)) anyyywayys I find that people who enjoy scones so much as you and I tend to be more intelligent beings. oh my gosh!! I cannot believe they would pause scone talk to discuss that!? that’s sooooooo silly!! OFC SCONES HAVE MORE VALUE!! SCONES ARE LIFE 👹👹 cough cough anyyywayyss you tell them snowflake!! don’t give them ur homework!!)
i mean, i tried to tell them that but did they listen? these people, everytime somebody is talking abt smt important, it goes in one ear and comes out the other. RAAR 👹
(yesss alisa is already mad at me 😔😔 … leather pants picture coming right up!! I love sharing that!!)
how can anyone be mad at you 😔 i find that rather impossibe but anways, lemme open up that picture.
a few seconds later
OMG! THIS IS HILARIOUS 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 HELP MY STOMACH IS DYING RN 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 HAHA IN YOUR FACE GRAYSON 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
(ahahahahhah I do understand your pain sometimes, my brothers can also be annoying and insufferable but they have their good aspects as well!!)
well, everybody has their strong suits! i just wish my brothers' ones don't come with a discount on 'annoyingness' and 'insufferablesness'
(yesss, sometimes you just have to be mean right back!! quoting the ‘aristocats’ I see!! I love that disney movie. yesss my fave colour is blue, hence the blog colour. tbh I do love green as well!! oooo that pattern of blue is so pretty!!)
yup you got that right! i've actually only seen clips of the movie and haven't watched it in full though. my brothers kept hogging it to watch star wars 🙃 and tbh i'm not much of a movie person 🙃 and glad you like the blue, it really is beautiful (just like you) 💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵
(I am very lucky!! but don’t worry you will find some too, I didn’t get mine until quite late in life you still have time. but for now… hmmmm I think you need a BHFF!! )
WHAT? YOU'LL REALLY BE MY BHFF? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE 🩵 YKW FORGET ABT THOSE OTHER PEOPLE A XANDER IS WORTH TEN OF THEM
(ofc you’ll always have xander-approval!! AND OF COURSE YOU GET A BLUEBERRY SCONE THAT ISNT PUSHINGGG IT!! you can rant to me all you want and remember, I’m your friend and that’s all that matters 😊😊)
awww ty for the scones! and ty for being there for me!! i'll always be there for you as well!! 🩵💙🩵
(yesss definitely ☹️☹️ I’m glad you understand me!! my feelings towards mr grandfather are very conflicted so I don’t really know either)
tbh, i have quite a bit to say about your grandfather but i'll just keep those to myself for now……. don't wanna speak ill of the dead (he's lucky he has that courtesy)
(I do many other things: eating scones, inventing things, exploding things, hacking things, coding things, (basically everything technological), reading, some fun little maths questions, doing illegal things with my brothers, and ofc my boring boring school work)
eating scones is truly an amazing past time. unfortunately for me, i can't explode anything (stuff is so expensive nowadays and i'm not hawthorne, or should i say avery, level rich. everyone's reactions including avery's were priceless.) ooh you can code? i mean ofc you can code. i wish i knew how to. i need it for a project but i'm stuck asking chat gpt to tutor me for now. maybe you can teach me 😁 what kind of books do you like to read? i'm mostly a fantasy girly but i like reading abt psychology and astrology too! oh and yeah hw is boring. i will never get that stereotype where people think everybody smart like doing hw. like, no, that's false. school in general sucks tho. like, they don't teach people to adult! it's a miracle adults can adult properly. i know i couldn't
(I mean sometimes… it can be a bit… but at the end of the day I love my life and I’m lucky to live it. wow of your older brother is like jameson then I finally have so,one who understand me!! yay!! also twins, that’s so so cool, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a twin, imagine two xanders 😁😁 jameson definitely is the most stubborn person I know!! (I most certainly love your ranting, psychology is VERY interesting)
hehe, actually it's not my older brother that's like jameson. i'm the oldest of three and i have two younger twin bros! the one i'm talking abt is the older out of the two twins. also, i wouldn't mind two xanders. a xander is a very interesting and fun person to talk to. and oh don't get me started on jameson's stubbornness. YOU HEAR THAT JAMESON? YOU'RE STUBBORN AS . AVERY I NEED TIPS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH STUBBORN AND EGOTISTICAL PEOPLE. HOW DO YOU DO IT? HOW ARE YOU STILL SANE?
(now I’m not known for being the sportiest hawthorne but that doesn’t mean I can’t play well. basketball is a personal favourite because it allows me to make fun of my short brothers, although when savannah plays it becomes un-fun because she is flawless at that game. I can play hockey moderately well and most sports really, but there’s not one I’m more inclined to like gray with his swimming. ooooooo you should make friends with gray too, he loves to swim!!)
i mean i'm def not the sportiest too, but i def have better stamina compared to some of my classmates and stuff thanks to doing sports! thanks, mum for putting me in swimming class. (hehe same like you, i can tease my classmates during PE stuff. i have a little story for that, right after this, dw) basketball is not my sport unfortunately 😭 took me ages to be able to score a goal or whatever terminology it is (sry i'm bad with sports terms besides swimming. i don't really watch sports or anything. i still don't get how badminton works for the court lines and stuff. ah well) hmmmm tbh the swimming is the only thing gray and i have in common. no hate to him but he's prob the last hawthorne bro i would talk to 🙃 he's very diff than me to say the least. tbh i'd rank u guys smt like:
xander
nash
grayson or jameson depending on the scenario
sry gray, sry Jamie 😭 no hate Jamie i'm just already stuck with a bro who's almost like a carbon copy of you sooo 😭 and gray idk ur just too serious, lighten up a little 😭
anyways, back to the PE class storytime. basically what happened was we were having a end of term PE test. so we were doing the running and stuff, push ups, plank all that. and basically there was one 'sporty' kid that always liked flexing his muscles and biceps and stuff 🤮 then there was my boy best friend (besides u xander) who's not exactly the sportiest kid. BUT GUESS WHAT. THAT GUY WAS ABLE TO DO MORE PUSH UPS AND PLANK LONGER THAN THAT SPORTY KID. HA TAKE THAT. and generally the sporty kid was just making a lot of excuses and stuff to the coach 🤣 "coach, i'm very sore", "coach, i'm very tired slept late last night", etc. etc. and during the plank and pushup section especially he kept dropping 🤣 some of the girls did better even (not to stereotype or anything, just to like emphasise stuff cuz he was always saying stuff like, "ah, it's okay coach the girls can do less [activity/set]". like boy, i did better in the beep test than you did. for the love of blueberry scones, shut up.
anyways back to ur responses:
(🎡I🏖️L🛁O💌V✂️E🐁E🦭M🐠O🎩J💀I💩S🫡)
same i absolutely adore emojis! my top three emojis are: 🤣😭🙃. and the poop one for my brothers 😁👍
(oooo fun okay so….
my ideal adventure:
🤖🧁🤯
take from that what you will 🤭🤭 I’m still sad there is no scone emoji!! )
yeah, i'm still sad that there's no scone emoji😔, but i do agree this emojis are very xander-esque. so lemme see, replace the cupcake with a scone. robots and explosion…. yup sounds abt right. tbh, if one day it was suddenly announced on the news u went to jail, i'd assume it was for arson. which is not bad. explosions are cool.
(love language:
probably gift giving, hence the book bouquet or quality time.
toxic trait:
I’m very obsessed with scones and may have a little itty bitty addiction…
quiz:
well… it says I’m a mansplainer but I’m not sure I quite agree

i mean, i tried to tell them that but did they listen? these people, everytime somebody is talking abt smt important, it goes in one ear and comes out the other. RAAR 👹
RARRRARRARARA INDEED 👹👹👹

I don’t know, it’s like impossible given my face is so adorably perfect 😔😔 but it seems alisa can be mad at me, just if she’s not looking into my eyes
OMG! THIS IS HILARIOUS 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 HELP MY STOMACH IS DYING RN 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 HAHA IN YOUR FACE GRAYSON 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I’m glad you found it nearly as funny as I did!! grayson in leather pants will be mentioned at every hawthorne wedding or marginally big event
well, everybody has their strong suits! i just wish my brothers' ones don't come with a discount on 'annoyingness' and 'insufferablesness'
there may be a possibility they grow out of it?? nash says that possibility has gone for me, but maybe there’s still hope for your brothers
yup you got that right! i've actually only seen clips of the movie and haven't watched it in full though. my brothers kept hogging it to watch star wars 🙃 and tbh i'm not much of a movie person 🙃 and glad you like the blue, it really is beautiful (just like you) 💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵
NO WAYYYY!! YOU HAVE THE WATCH IT!! ITS A DISNEY CLASSIC AND YES I MAY SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY DISNEY MOVIE BUT STILL… well I can’t argue with your brothers there star wars should be worshipped 😊😊 I can’t believe that someone can’t be a movie person!! I love movies!! awww thank you snowflake, that’s so kind of you, but yk snowflakes are blue too 💙🩵💙🩵💙
WHAT? YOU'LL REALLY BE MY BHFF? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE 🩵 YKW FORGET ABT THOSE OTHER PEOPLE A XANDER IS WORTH TEN OF THEM
ERRRRMM YESSS OFCCC!! I RECCOMNED HAVING A XANDER I MAY BE BIAS BECAUSE I AM A XANDER AND I HAVE ONE ALL DAY BUT STILL…
awww ty for the scones! and ty for being there for me!! i'll always be there for you as well!! 🩵💙🩵
ofccc I hope they were yummy 🤭🤭 yayayayay there for each other through it all!!
tbh, i have quite a bit to say about your grandfather but i'll just keep those to myself for now……. don't wanna speak ill of the dead (he's lucky he has that courtesy)
ah… I see
eating scones is truly an amazing past time. unfortunately for me, i can't explode anything (stuff is so expensive nowadays and i'm not hawthorne, or should i say avery, level rich. everyone's reactions including avery's were priceless.)
well ofc I agree, scone eating is not only a hobby but a talent, not for the faint hearted!! maybe I can lend you a few things to explode… I recommend it’s very anti stressing (I appreciate the little joke)
ooh you can code? i mean ofc you can code. i wish i knew how to. i need it for a project but i'm stuck asking chat gpt to tutor me for now. maybe you can teach me 😁
yesss!! computer languages are like french or german for me. oh my goshhhh no way, never fear friend, I will teach you everything you need to know about coding, chat gpt ain’t got nothing on the xandobot 3000 (aka me)
what kind of books do you like to read? i'm mostly a fantasy girly but i like reading abt psychology and astrology too!
mostly I’m a non-fiction kind of guys, I prefer to read up on old inventors for inspiration or how machines work. but overall pretty much anything and everything, I like to be informed about the world and everything in it, how it all works. although I do love me a good sci-fi novel with evil robots 😎😎
oh and yeah hw is boring. i will never get that stereotype where people think everybody smart like doing hw. like, no, that's false. school in general sucks tho. like, they don't teach people to adult! it's a miracle adults can adult properly. i know i couldn't
hw is SOOOOOOO boring!! I would much rather be building a new contraption then brushing up on quadratic formula!! literally, we can be smart and not like hw. don’t worry nash is 99.999% sure I’ll never grow up or have adult responsibilities so I’ll be okay!!
hehe, actually it's not my older brother that's like jameson. i'm the oldest of three and i have two younger twin bros! the one i'm talking abt is the older out of the two twins. also, i wouldn't mind two xanders. a xander is a very interesting and fun person to talk to. and oh don't get me started on jameson's stubbornness. YOU HEAR THAT JAMESON? YOU'RE STUBBORN AS . AVERY I NEED TIPS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH STUBBORN AND EGOTISTICAL PEOPLE. HOW DO YOU DO IT? HOW ARE YOU STILL SANE?
ooohhhh I see!! two xanders would be fun and slightly chaotic but what’s life without chaos right?? I think a snowflake is also a very interesting and fun person to talk to 🤭🤭 jameson has his ways, his stubborn, stubborn ways…
i mean i'm def not the sportiest too, but i def have better stamina compared to some of my classmates and stuff thanks to doing sports! thanks, mum for putting me in swimming class. (hehe same like you, i can tease my classmates during PE stuff.
oooo so you’re a swimmer like my brother!! he’ll be happy for new competition!!
i have a little story for that, right after this, dw) basketball is not my sport unfortunately 😭 took me ages to be able to score a goal or whatever terminology it is (sry i'm bad with sports terms besides swimming. i don't really watch sports or anything. i still don't get how badminton works for the court lines and stuff. ah well) hmmmm tbh the swimming is the only thing gray and i have in common.
ooo story time, this calls for a scone, one sec…. OKAY SCONE ACQUIRED, LETS HEAR THIS STORY. oh wait you got sidetracked from the story like me!! (tbh I still don’t get how badminton works either!!)
no hate to him but he's prob the last hawthorne bro i would talk to 🙃 he's very diff than me to say the least. tbh i'd rank u guys smt like:
1. xander
2. nash
3. grayson or jameson depending on the scenario
sry gray, sry Jamie 😭 no hate Jamie i'm just already stuck with a bro who's almost like a carbon copy of you sooo 😭 and gray idk ur just too serious, lighten up a little 😭
YAYAYAYAYYAYAY XANDER ON TOPPPP 👑👑 I MEAN OFCCC BUT YAYAYAYYAYAYA!! we love our little serious gray
anyways, back to the PE class storytime. basically what happened was we were having a end of term PE test. so we were doing the running and stuff, push ups, plank all that. and basically there was one 'sporty' kid that always liked flexing his muscles and biceps and stuff 🤮 then there was my boy best friend (besides u xander) who's not exactly the sportiest kid. BUT GUESS WHAT. THAT GUY WAS ABLE TO DO MORE PUSH UPS AND PLANK LONGER THAN THAT SPORTY KID. HA TAKE THAT. and generally the sporty kid was just making a lot of excuses and stuff to the coach 🤣 "coach, i'm very sore", "coach, i'm very tired slept late last night", etc. etc. and during the plank and pushup section especially he kept dropping 🤣 some of the girls did better even (not to stereotype or anything, just to like emphasise stuff cuz he was always saying stuff like, "ah, it's okay coach the girls can do less [activity/set]". like boy, i did better in the beep test than you did. for the love of blueberry scones, shut up.
OMG STORYTIME IS BACK = SCONES ARE ALSO BACK!! bahahhahahahahhahaghaa yessss you all put that so called sporty kid in his place!! and I agree, for the love of blueberry scones, he should have shut up. I hate people like that ☹️
same i absolutely adore emojis! my top three emojis are: 🤣😭🙃. and the poop one for my brothers 😁👍
yayayayayya me too!! my top three are 🤖💥🧐grayson banned me from using the poop emoji 💔💔
yeah, i'm still sad that there's no scone emoji😔, but i do agree this emojis are very xander-esque. so lemme see, replace the cupcake with a scone. robots and explosion…. yup sounds abt right. tbh, if one day it was suddenly announced on the news u went to jail, i'd assume it was for arson. which is not bad. explosions are cool.
explosions are cool!! arson is not BUTTTT if it ever did happen we have amazing lawyers (shout out to our girl alisa) who would 100% cover it all up!!
ooh yup ur love language sounds abt right. haha, the scones part is true. it's a personality trait at this point. hmmm i don't quite agree with the mansplainer part either….. but tbh that quiz was quite limited. i didn't want to give u a 100 question long one tho sooooo. ooh ur a Sagittarius, cool! i'll make sure to send u a happy birthday message when December rolls around! i'll just send a random day within that time frame ig since u didn't mention a specific date.
uh-huh gift giving is all xander 😎😎 scones are my personality, I’m sure I’m part scone by now 🤭🤭 oooo thank you!! when’s your birthday?? I want to send you a message too!!

Echoes and Experiments - Chapter 20:
Mieko woke up in Albedo's home, taking a deep breath. Was that the smell of food? She sat up, slowly going about her morning routine. She finally headed downstairs after tying her hair back in a ponytail, seeing Klee bouncing in her seat. “Big Sis Mie! Good morning!” She smiled wide.
“Good morning, Klee.” She replied, walking over and petting the girl's head. “Are you ready to have fun today?”
“Yeah!” She giggled, Albedo bringing over breakfast for them both. “Big brother said he has to finish some work first.”
“Oh, work?” She looked up at Albedo.
“An urgent matter. I promise I'll join you two later on today.” He replied. Mieko nodded, sitting down with Klee as Albedo headed out. Mieko watched him go before turning to Klee, doing her best to eat even though she didn't at all feel hungry. Mieko went to change, Klee watching as the bluenette did her hair up.
“Shall I do your hair too, Klee?”
“Ooh, yes please!” Klee grinned, moving to sit next to the woman, smiling as she watched Mieko in the mirror. “Big Sis Mie?”
“Yes, Klee?”
“Who else is coming with us?” Klee asked. “I know Big Brother Albedo said he would join us later, but… He said some others were coming along too?”
“You'll see my dear.” Mieko chuckled, clipping a couple of accessories in Klee’s hair and placing a special hat on the girl's head.
“Is this… For me?” Klee asked, eyes shimmering.
“It is.” Mieko smiled. “And I have some other stuff for you too, if you'd like it.”
“For me???” Klee turned to Mieko. She looked with wonder at the red and white outfit that Mieko pulled out from the drawer. “I'll go change right now, Big Sis!” She exclaimed, getting up and hurrying to change, Mieko smiling as she left the room. She changed quickly while Klee was gone, throwing on a jacket as well. Once they were both ready, they headed out and picked up the others who agreed to come along.
-
“So this is the Golden Apple Archipleago?” Mieko asked as she looked around, smiling. It was a beautiful place, but it also seemed like a bit of a crazy place, considering the mode of transport. Klee immediately rushed off, Razor following to keep an eye on her. Of the people they brought with them, Mona was the only one to hang back with Mieko.
“It’s quite a place.” Mona said as Mieko sat down. “You went through so much trouble again, making things for us…”
“I did so simply to please Klee.” She smiled at the astrologer in front of her. “Besides, I can handle things like this, at least.” she mumbled. “If not, what use am I?”
“You’re clearly exhausted.”
“It’s just a lack of sleep.”
“Funny. Albedo tells me you’re sleeping a lot more than normal.” Mona stated, noting the woman averting her eyes. “Miss Mie… Are you well and truly alright?”
“I don’t know, Mona.” she stated. “Every doctor has been unable to give me a proper answer…”
“I’m no doctor, but… May I try something?”
“Scrying?” Mieko asked as Mona summoned her scrying glass, Mieko just sitting and waiting. Mona made a face, though, shaking her head.
“Why is it so blurry?” She grumbled. “It’s like there’s a dense fog in the way…”
“Ah, is there?” she asked, smiling. “Thank you for the attempt.”
“I will try again later.” Mona replied.
“Then for now, go have fun.” Mieko said. “I’ll get started on making lunch for everyone.” She sent Mona off, taking a deep breath and shaking her head as she went to start cooking, hearing the record player start up.
“Well hello!” A cheerful woman’s voice emerged from the record player, Mieko nearly dropping the ingredients and turning to the voice. “So sorry, didn’t mean to startle you~ You must be Mieko~”
“Ah… Miss Alice…?” She asked, blinking a few times. “Yes, um, it’s a pleasure to meet you…?”
“Well, I’m only sorry it couldn’t be in person dear. I’ll have to run shortly, but I wanted to at least get as chance to talk to you. Albedo told me you’ve been feeling unwell and have been very busy.”
“Did he?” Mie smiled a little. “I’m sure it’s nothing, though.”
“And if I were to tell you that I am certain that it is something?” Mieko took a deep breath after Alice’s words, shaking her head. “Oh, and I have to run, goodbye for now~” And with that, the noise stopped. Mieko put a hand over her heart, gripping the fabric covering her chest.
“Miss Alice is certain, is she?” She asked softly, shaking her head again. “Ahh, my nerves are frayed already…” She scolded herself before getting back to her cooking, trying to ease her own mind about the matter while she worked. After lunch was done, the woman went to lay down, the heat of the day starting to get to her. “Ahh, I used to be able to run around all day training with grandfather, and now this?” She asked herself. “What is wrong with me?”
“Mie?” She looked up and smiled when she saw Albedo standing there.
“Welcome.” She said, sitting up slowly.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Albedo asked, sitting next to her.
“No, just… Thinking.” She explained what had happened, Albedo nodding his head.
“I see… So Alice said something. Then it really must be abnormal.” He sighed. Mieko nodded, the pair sitting in silence for a while before Albedo helped Mieko up from her seat. “Let’s go find somewhere else to lay down.”
“Oh?” She tilted her head. “Alright.” They wandered to a remote corner of the island and Albedo sat down under the tree there, Mieko moving to sit as well. Albedo pulled her down suddenly, making Mieko gasp. “Is… Something wrong?” she asked.
“My lap isn’t as comfortable as yours, but please lay down.” He stated, taking out a book. “I want you to try your best to rest.” He pet her head gently and Mieko smiled a little. He was trying to return the favor she did him a few times, way back when. She made herself comfortable, smiling up at him.
“You don’t have to pet my head, I’m sure it’s sweaty.” She said as he continued to run his fingers through her hair. He didn’t reply, but instead he said something that made her quirk an eyebrow.
“Did you know that recently there have been reports from mariners in the area about a giant crab?”
“A giant crab?”
“Yes, there’s apparently a rumor that people have been seeing giant crabs roaming around the area as they sail ships by, and as they work on developing the sea routes around here.” Albedo replied, teasing her hair through his fingers. “I have heard that it’s around the same height as a standard ship is long, perhaps a bit larger.”
“Eeeh, such a monster exists around here and you haven’t seen it before?” She questioned. “Are you curious about it?”
“A bit, yes.” He replied, flipping his book page. “Are you interested?”
“It sounds like it might be tasty~” She smiled happily. Albedo smiled a little at the answer.
“Will you be alright? It’s quite hot out. I can always go and get you an umbrella.”
“I’ll be okay~ There’s enough water around here where I won’t overheat too easily, so long as I remember to utilize it.” She chuckled. “Shall we ask the others to help?”
“It’s been seen spewing fire, likely a Pyro type, so it would be best if we had means to fight that power…” He looked down at her, seeing that she had her eyes closed. It still baffled him, how relaxed she was able to feel in his presence. “You must still be tired…” He added.
“Don’t worry about me so much.” She opened her eyes, the purple duller than what Albedo was used to, but she seemed at least to be enjoying herself. “You’ll get wrinkles.” She chuckled. Albedo knew how exhausted she was, and he could see her slowly deteriorating. It upset him in a way he didn't understand. The one thing he knew and understood through all these strange, muddled feelings was that he didn't want to lose her.
“I don’t think that’s possible.” He replied, still playing with her hair. “And it’s clear you haven’t been well. That’s why the last doctor suggested that you come out on a vacation, isn’t it?” He reminded her, covering her eyes with his hand. “Go to sleep, darling. I’ll wake you later.”
“Hmm, you’re still worrying.” She replied, smiling still. He felt her eyelashes brush against his hand. “Albedo, I promise, I'll be okay… I promise, okay?” She smiled. Albedo didn't answer, and soon she fell asleep again. He removed his hand and stared down at her. Even if the doctors didn't know what was wrong, Albedo kept trying everything he could to help.
“Potions, books… Nothing works.” He had seen other people suffer through burnout, but this… Whatever this was, it wasn't normal. “If Teacher or Miss Alice were here… Maybe then I could find out what's going on…” He muttered. “Whatever this is… Don't slip away, Mie… Please…”
-
Mieko awoke hours later, jumping with a start when she realized it was night time, and… “Hey, bring the claw this way!”
“Make sure the fire is hot!”
“Ah, Big Sis is awake!” Mieko put on her glasses just in time to see Klee jumping up at her, clinging. “Big sis Mie, did you sleep okay?”
“Klee…?” She had to think about where she was, looking up when she realized that the others were dragging giant crab parts onto the beach. “What happened…?”
“You slept right through it.” Mona said. “This giant crab came out of nowhere and attacked.”
“I… What?” She looked around in shock, eyes landing on Albedo putting a bandage on Razor’s injury. She put Klee down and went right over to them, Albedo catching her as she tripped over herself.
“Mimi, are you okay?”
“I…” Her hands shook as she took Razor’s injured arm, tears starting to bubble over. “Damn it, I can’t believe this…” She shook her head. “I’m sorry… I should have… Why didn’t I wake up?”
“You needed the rest, Mie.”
“I have never once slept through an attack, Albedo.” She stated, Razor leaning against her arm in an attempt to comfort her. “And someone got hurt…”
“You can’t blame yourself.”
“I’m not blaming me, I’m blaming whatever is wrong with me.” She retorted.
“Mimi, I got hurt to protect. Just like Mimi did for me.” Razor replied. “No tears. Mimi is okay.” He pressed his forehead against her shoulder. “Mimi is safe… We protect Mimi.”
“We…?” She turned suddenly to Albedo, seeing that he was injured as well. It was minor, but even then. She bit her lip, taking a deep breath to settle herself. “I can’t believe you two.” She said, pulling Albedo into a one-armed hug, Razor with the other. “Thank you…” She said, holding her tears back as well as she could. “Thank you for protecting me.”
-
After returning from the Golden Apple Archipelago, Mieko was working hard on preparing the shop to sell, shaking her head every time she thought about it. Her home of nearly 10 years… Her workshop… The place she poured her heart into. Her blood, sweat, and tears. The place that housed so many memories, the place she had met so many… She sighed, sitting down on the couch. “Do you want to bring that with us?” Albedo's voice made her jump, the blue-haired woman whipping around to see him standing there. “Did I startle you?”
“I thought you were working.” She said, taking a deep breath. “I didn't even hear you come in.” She was going to stand up when he came around the couch, sitting next to her. “Are you alright?” She asked, noting the look on his face.
“I should ask you that.” He replied, tugging her gently into laying down on his lap. “You look like you didn't sleep again.”
“I didn't.” She replied. “It's too much to think about…” She made a face, making Albedo smile, just a little. “Plus. Since you were away for 3 days working, it's hard to stop myself from thinking too much…”
“Well, now that I'm back, take a nap.” He said, taking her hand, intertwining their fingers. “I'll be right here.”
“But you must be busy…” She said, Albedo helping her lean back as he noticed her eyes closing.
“Get some rest, darling.” He whispered, Mieko soon dozing off in his lap, Albedo letting out a held breath. She was so exhausted that all it seemed to take to put her to sleep was her being comfortable, and for him to be present. Sometimes she would sleep for a very long time, sometimes only for half an hour. He pondered this while she rested, leaning over to look at her face. Fast asleep, but he knew it wasn't going to be enough. “My Mie…” He stared at her for a while, admiring her. “Your trust in me still baffles me… How is it that you can fall asleep so easily? Though, I suppose I can't talk, since I do the same around you…” He leaned over, kissing her cheek, still holding her hand. “What about you makes me want to stay with you?” At this she made a soft noise in her sleep, squeezing his hand and mumbling incoherently. “Why is it that you fascinate me?” He asked once she had settled down. Albedo smiled as she shifted, pulling her onto the couch further, laying her down on top of him. “One day, perhaps, I'll find out… But I'm almost hoping I don't…” He chuckled a little as she clung to him in her sleep. “I want to keep studying you, Mie… I want to know everything…”
“Albedo, shhh, sleepy time.” She grumbled, looking up at him.
“I'm sorry, did I wake you?” He teased, kissing her forehead. “Go back to sleep.” He added, Mieko pouting at him.
“Only if you sleep too.”
-
Once moved out of the shop, Mieko and Albedo had been quietly living in the same space for about a week when it started to happen.
“Mie, are you alright?” Mieko gave an incoherent grumble as she stood against the wall. “Dizzy? Here, lean on me.” He let her lean towards him before scooping her into his arms. “Up you go. I'll carry you to our room, so you can lay down.” She grumbled more, but clung to Albedo, clearly not feeling well. Albedo rubbed her back and carried her to their room, placing her gently down on the bed. She moved to lay down, Albedo helping her take her hair down and tucking her in. “Get some rest.”
“I’m sorry…” she muttered, Albedo petting her head.
“Don't be. I love you, Mie, my darling.”
“Love you too…” she managed before she went quiet, curling up in their bed. After she fell asleep, Albedo sighed softly to himself.
“Mie… My beautiful Mie… Please, please don't ever leave me.” he said. Any affliction, any discomfort, it made him worry about her. She always pushed herself too hard, and was stubborn about taking breaks. Albedo wondered how she wasn't in worse shape when they met, if she'd been at her business like this for 4 or more years alone. By now it was nearly double that. He paused, realizing that it had been almost 4 years since they had gone on their first date, but that wasn’t important at the moment. He only hoped that she would be able to rest well. But now her physical health was rapidly declining too, and still the doctors had no idea how to help. “I wonder if traveler might know?” He mused to himself.

HI THAT ANON WAS ME i have no idea why i sent it on anon actually 😭
I LOVE the long posts so this will probably be long as well <3 waking up to muchachos sounds like the best thing ever omg DONT APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR SCREAMING I WAS DOING THE SAME AT HOME OMG i kept seeing videos of people at those screens, i cant imagine what it was like to actually be there 😭 the baby in front of you sleeping through the whole thing 😭❤️
i have no memories period of di maria's goal i was literally floating my way through that match and i will NEVER sit through it fully again (except certain parts obv)
that song's this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTnRlJTusME it's prob my favorite tbh it's just so catchy!!
I literally don't remember that save either, everyone was talking about it afterwards but my hands were literally still shaking from the match in general, i saw it on instagram. i don't even remember most of the shootout but SOMOS TODOS MONTIEL I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANT AND IT STILL GAVE ME CHILLS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT
going to gardens and getting only honking sounds about right and a very specific, but no less valid vibe of its own 👍 literally every time i see pictures or videos of the celebrations, even now, i am in actual awe over the amount of people that turned out and celebrated (obviously lol) before the parade even and even more during it!! someone told me the dibu burger is actually super good, im genuinely dying to try it it looks great 😭 that image is so funny though, argentina won the wc and people are lining up to buy the dibu's burger as they should!! the store owners were either worried about crowds or they shut down to go celebrate themselves lbr 💀
the newspaper!!! gloria eterna thats beautiful stuff!!!! and the goat chips omg, pls dont apologize i am loving the visual aspect of this i've been watching celebration videos non-stop bc i watched so many after they won that its all my instagram recommendations show me anymore. https://mobile.twitter.com/PLF_2008/status/1606926273833467905 this is my favorite <3
i'm so glad you had fun it seems like such a surreal experience and thank you so much for these answers and videos!!!!❤️
OMG HI HI HI thank you for enjoying my rambles <3333 it was so nice to go through it all again, ugh i miss it so much
the baby was built different. i KNOW he's gonna hear it when he gets older about how he fell asleep during the 2022 wc final when argentina became campion del mundo. literally the greatest match of all time and he knocked.
di maria's goal, once i re-watched the highlights and actually registered what was happening, is literally the sexiest thing i've ever seen. the loss of possession, the build up, the quick passes. A TEAM GOAL FR. but whenever i re-watch highlights i can only watch argentina's goals. i have to fast-forward through the penalties that france gets and mbappe's goal; it upsets me too much lmao
also after di maria's goal, people were chanting his name and the camera's were showing how he was crying after he scored and i was just so happy for him <333 also afterwards, I read this article (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/angel-di-maria-argentina-english) and it just made me even more happy that he got a goal in a wc final + won the wc.
ole ole ola is a BANGER omg argentines only coming up with bangers confirmed ty for the link :))
i ended up getting a dibu burger at the airport!!! 10/10 would eat again, my man dibu only comes out with quality content, on and off the pitch.
ppl were wasted af lmao one drunk man came up to my dad (who does not speak a lick of spanish) and was literally in tears trying to hug him and my dad was just like "sir, it's okay, you won, it's okay" (in english, mind you)
for real though, i legit think about how lucky i was to be there and experience it all every single day. and i get a nice reminder every day because my social media is ALSO ALL FOOTBALL now. my tiktok for you page still shows me edits ("the little boy from rosario" lives rent free in my head) and i obviously have to watch every time. although i can't re-watch the 120' minute save because it literally gives me anxiety that it's going to go in this time (even though it's literally over).
that tweet omg :))) im just so happy not only for the players but for the PEOPLE, the way that they loved that team and suffered through all the finals and losses. no one else deserved it more. i love seeing the abuelas dancing in the street and the songs about them- makes me so happy :)
it was so surreal. top memory of life. thank you again for asking and sitting through my rambles and content dump <3

“I read a list somewhere of the things they thought had made people lose their marbles back in the 1800’s. Some of ‘em made sense, but some were just bananas. Like, ‘kicked in the head by a horse’ is totally understandable, right? But then there was stuff like ‘asthma’ and ‘indigestion’. How fuckin’ spicy does your cookin’ have to be for the indigestion to send someone to the nut house?”
It was a research rabbit hole she’d fallen down while looking into one of her first hauntings, the restless spirit of a young woman who frankly had every reason to be pissed the hell off after her parents had her sent to one of those so-called hospitals. She’d been released after several years, only to die months later. Who wouldn’t be angry after that? Haunting the shit out of her family home seemed like a perfectly reasonable reaction as far as Tyler was concerned.
“You’re still Mr. Skeptic, huh? Not seen anythin’ weird on your shoots yet?” She wasn’t terribly surprised. Very few ghost stories were actually true, so she’d certainly spent her fair share of time investigating haunts that had turned out to be nothing but local legend. It sounded as though this hospital had the potential for something real, but the chances of a television crew of all people managing to find anything substantial were pretty dang slim.
She laughed, mirroring the way he leaned on the bar. “Maybe I want it to be both.” The way she let her eyes roam over him was extremely unsubtle. Frankly she’d jump his bones in a heartbeat. But even so, she wasn’t near drunk enough to do anything without putting a clarification of her own out there.
“Hypothetically, if a cheap pickup line worked on me… I’d still like us to be friends. Would you be good with that?” Most of Ty’s hookups were fairly anonymous in nature. The usual routine was this: find a guy she liked the look of, flirt, make as little smalltalk as possible, go somewhere secluded. Now that she was back on the road, the chances of running into a guy again were slim to none. No need to worry about any potential awkwardness that might arise from bumping into them again.
But Lance? Lance she actually liked. He was fun. He was interesting to chat to, but refreshingly normal in comparison with most of the people she kept in contact with. The last thing she wanted was to let her libido ruin the budding friendship between them.
"That's so childish" Lance retorted, and after a good couple seconds of trying to picture the guy's house TPed, his frown made way for one wicked grin.
"I love it." A little chuckle, followed by an amused shake of his head.
"Not saying you should do that, but if someone told me to stop you, hey, I might just not" he went on with a wink, then put his own glass back down. The text message was inspected and mulled over, and the fact that Tyler was playing right along with the joke kept that grin right on his face.
"Yeah you're probably right. Let's give her a fighting chance" the tv host agreed, as he carefully put his phone back in his back pocket, muting it on its way inside. Truth be told, he was already starting to lose interest anyway. Especially since Tyler was showing so much interest in his show and new location.
"Yeah. Well, the history of the place and all the rooms were the most gruesome and tragic stories took place. It's not just creepy, it's all levels of messed up. The things they did to people in there. Phew" he said, shaking his head. He'd only just started his proper research a couple of days ago, but the things he'd read about already really were quite something. Fascinating, but all kinds of fucked up for sure.
"I'm talking...if a guy didn't like the fact that his wife read too much then that was reason enough to put her in a place like this. Not him for merely thinking about sending his spouse to a place where they stab people in their brains with ice picks for fun. Truly horrid stuff. If any place could convince me that it's actually haunted by some restless spirits, hell. This is gonna be it."
He knew that it was sort of messed up that in a way, the prospect of this got him all giddy and excited. So he tried his best not to linger on the topic too much, and she certainly made it easy with her observation. In an instant, the smug little smirk was right back on his face as he put his ellbow on the bar counter and rested his cheek against his left fist.
"Yes" he replied, honestly and as a matter of fact, not bothering to beat around the bush with it. He kept up eye contact a little longer now, carefully assessing her reaction and trying his best to read it correctly. Though despite that, he couldn't keep some clarification in.
"The sneak preview is a genuine offer though. If you want it to be, that is. If not, then feel free to consider it a cheap pick up line. I'm good with either option." Because really, what was not to like about either? Talk more about his show and have someone genuinely interested or have some of the fun he'd been looking forward to tonight anyway. Best of both worlds, honestly. And the look on his face certainly made it clear that he really was good with either option.
