#but the girls of lm can't?

[alwayschasingrainbows]

Does someone else remember the hillarious story Peter Craig (The Golden Road by Lucy Maud Montgomery) wrote for "Our Magazine"?

"THE BATTLE OF THE PARTRIDGE EGGS

Once upon a time there lived about half a mile from a forrest a farmer and his wife and his sons and daughters and a granddaughter. The farmer and his wife loved this little girl very much but she caused them great trouble by running away into the woods and they often spent haf days looking for her. One day she wondered further into the forrest than usual and she begun to be hungry. Then night closed in. She asked a fox where she could get something to eat. The fox told her he knew where there was a partridges nest and a bluejays nest full of eggs. So he led her to the nests and she took five eggs out of each. When the birds came home they missed the eggs and flew into a rage. The bluejay put on his topcoat and was going to the partridge for law when he met the partridge coming to him. They lit up a fire and commenced sining their deeds when they heard a tremendous howl close behind them. They jumped up and put out the fire and were immejutly attacked by five great wolves. The next day the little girl was rambelling through the woods when they saw her and took her prisoner. After she had confessed that she had stole the eggs they told her to raise an army. They would have to fight over the nests of eggs and whoever one would have the eggs. So the partridge raised a great army of all kinds of birds except robins and the little girl got all the robins and foxes and bees and wasps. And best of all the little girl had a gun and plenty of ammunishun. The leader of her army was a wolf. The result of the battle was that all the birds were killed except the partridge and the bluejay and they were taken prisoner and starved to death.

The little girl was then taken prisoner by a witch and cast into a dunjun full of snakes where she died from their bites and people who went through the forrest after that were taken prisoner by her ghost and cast into the same dunjun where they died. About a year after the wood turned into a gold castle and one morning everything had vanished except a piece of a tree.

by Peter Craig."

L!fting masterpost from an intermediate lyfter

Will try to keep this short! Please excuse my English 🩷 1. Not because they say it's easy, will it be easy. (Unless it's like d0llar store, will expand more on that though!) ''W@lm@rt is easy!'' ''XYZ is easy!'' DO NOT ALWAYS BELIEVE THEM!! A lot of stores vary widely by location. Just because the w@lm@rt closeby is easy, does not mean the one even 3 minutes away will be easy aswell. This applies for all stores. And... 2. Easy =/= free for all and place for sloppiness. I does not matter if it is a $store. There is never any place for sloppiness in committing a crime. WE ARE CRIMINALS!! Do not forget that! Just because you can walk out, and we don't have LP nor can we chase you, if you l!ft sloppily and we catch you, we are obliged to tell on you, and the cameras will find footage of you, and your face, even if you are wearing a disguise, will be spread to other locations, trust me. 3. Even if cameras are not monitored, doesn't mean you can do whatever.

Cameras still serve a purpose. In malls. security guards mostly watches parking lot, entrance, etc. In mall, most (not all) does not monitor camera. But all have the access to the footage, which is being actively recorded 24/7, therefore saved. USE SLEIGHT OF HAND AND FIND BLINDSPOTS! 4. Practice at hoe. Sleight of hand, research it. Record yourself, time yourself even. Find concealing methods and try, try try until it is smooth! 5. Do not get inspiration from the fuckass TV show ''Trinkets''. HORRIBLE SHOW!!! I hate it so bad. The bitch gets on my nerves. Anyways. Don't shove things in your backpack, and actually, don't opt for backpacks when concealing, they are so suspicious! And, in a store, don't walk quickly to your item and rush to the dressing room to untag it?? Be normal??? Hello????? 6. Be normal Do NOT underestimate this! I know it is common advice but trust me. You're literally just there to shop, just in a unique way! For this, what helped honestly was rejection therapy, even unrelated to l!fting, weirdly enough! But, no one will look at you if you just act normal (unless you waddle out because you have 78 lip oils in your ssa.) As a store associate, I'm just focused on doing my job, chatting with my coworkers, looking good in front of my boss and counting down the hours until I am home! In order to get ''sussed'' by a normal sale associates, you would need to attract attention. Most of us don't have shoplifters on our minds. 7. Don't be sexy. (??? weird but works!) Now, this very hard for me because I am so sexy and hot and bootylicious. BUT I have read a story where men were being pervs and staring at girls, and then noticed that they were lyfting???? And anyways, you want to look plain and forgettable, it'll help blend it alot.

8. Have an excuse. Do not go down the ''But, I have children to feed!!'' excuse route when you have 4 lacy bombshells bras on at a time! For example, what I did at s3ph0r@, I came in, wanting to do an exchange. I had a N4RS foundation in a s3ph0ra bag. I put another N4RS foundation in my bag. I then went to the register, and kindly asked for an exchange of the same product, since it had spilled (I transferred like half of it to another container... oops!!!). My excuse if I got caught? It was going to be that I thought I would need to take the wanted product myself and exchange it with the ruined product, and I forgot about the wanted product in my bag! I hope that makes sense! Anyways just have a valid, reasonable, non over explained excuse!!!

9. DO NOT GET GREEDY!!!! DO NOT TAKE RISKS!! Remember, once again, you are committing a crime. If you remember, I had to show my breasts to a security guard to get me and my friend out of trouble, because she got greedy. She was not even a repeat l!fter! Still love her though. But, don't take items that are too bulky either if you know you can't pull it off. And only get what you CAME IN FOR. No impulse l!fts! Make a list of what you need! The more you take, the more likely you are to get caught, and the more likely you will have harsher consequences if you do. 10. Take breaks You shouldn't be itching to borrow. It shouldn't be on your mind all day. You shouldn't use it as a coping mechanism. You'll regret it. Breathe, make some tea, sit down and enjoy nature. Lyfting is a harmful coping mechanism, and you can get addicted as well. 11. Have money on you, but no ID. If you get caught, no money = premeditated theft, which is worse than impulse theft. 12. Don't brag about l!fting.

The more people know, the more they might tell on you. Or, when you go shopping, they might joke about it loudly and make you sussed out. Or, they will dare you to l!ft, and under pressure you'll l!ft something you don't need and get caught. Or, they'll ask you to teach them, and their slip up is gonna cost both of your freedoms!!! Or, they'll tell other people who will do all of the above. ORRRR they will make it harder to l!ft because more l!fting = more security measures added by company. 13. You will get MAJOR CONSEQUENCES if you l!ft from small businesses. And you will deserve it! Cops and shop owners will be more harsh! You might get beat or a gun pulled on you. 14. Have signature concealing methods. Research some, practice them and keep them in your arsenal!

15. Don't l!ft near you. What if you need to go back? Also, they might have your info from credit/debit cards, or licsence plates, and will identify you much more easily. 16. Just because you do/don'ttalk to SA doesn't mean you won't get sussed... Just be normal! Plenty of people think ''Oh, but I talked to an employee!'' means that you're innocent.. No my love! Do you need help? Ask for it! Don't? Kindly decline! And, after they ask you and you decline, don't immediately walk away from the section you were browsing from, it looks suspicious. 17. Don't lyft in groups... ESPECIALLY if you look like teens. Come on!!! That is such a red flag! And don't start giggling and taking off your backpack and shoving things... 18. Don't be afraid to ask me questions! I love you all my sweeties! xoxo! (will also be adding furthermore in the future)

haul of a girl that can't pick a substyle

my first brand swimsuit and an usakumya necklace i was very excited about finding!!

i was missing several of the early volumes of GLB and was able to fill in the gaps with a few of those. i've been interested in researching the history of the fashion recently so i'm constantly hunting for old magazines! i've added GLB volumes 1-4 & 6 & 49--as well as "Frill" volume 1 and the "Maison Gothic & Lolita Style" book to my media collection.

a metamorphose Alice OP (2000) that i got on auction!! the double sleeves and center buttons down to the bottom are my favorite. it didn't come with the apron, but i was lucky enough that the one from a different Alice OP, also from the year 2000... was on auction on a different platform at the same time. i bought them separately intending to pair them together! i quite prefer the style of this rounder edged apron rather than the more squared top one it's meant to go with.

this is actually the dress that made me realize the Alice OP Set on lolibrary has a long version (similar to the maid OP from 2003 mini & long or the nun style OP mini & long)--i'll have to remind myself to submit a correction for the current OP to indicate the mini variation, and to submit a new entry for the long length one if i can manage to find more information... though i had no idea of its existence until recently! from an old LM sales listing, i found that the mini length is around 88 cm, whereas this one is 125 cm. i severely underestimated the length of this and it's down to my ankles, but i suppose it'll be my first long dress ^_^

Frat boy!Luigi x gothic!reader hc???

Frat! LM x Gothic! Reader

✮▹A/N: I hope this is good. unfortunately Its been a while since I've written anything. Also this feels kind of vague because of all the different subcultures and stuff, but also general reader yk? anyways enjoy! NOT EDITED.

Okay, I'm starting this by saying that personally, I don't see frat Lu as some typical jerk frat boy (I mean, look at the photos; it looks like a bunch of nerds hanging out), but anyway...

He would be immersed in your style and interests. He wouldn't necessarily act like it's abnormal but most certainly would be new to him.

He would sit and listen to music with you, trying to learn about the music culture, and might even make a playlist so he can play that for you when you guys hang out.

Would wait and sit while you do your makeup, especially if you're doing trade goth, and ask you about literally every step of what you're doing and why. (Lowkey asking too many questions, but you can't bring yourself to be annoyed because he's just being curious and cares.)

He would be like those cats in the "I'm a girl with a boy cat doing ---". He's just enjoying the entertainment. I also think that frankly you could convince him to let you do his make up or let him try to do yours for fun (whether it turns out good or not is a completely different story however).

I think in regards to the first time bringing you around his frat brothers, he would be mildly shy about it simply because he knows that in general, the relationship dynamic brings attention. However, he would assure you that he isn't embarrassed or ashamed about anything.

Along with that, after establishing the relationship, I think he would kind of flaunt you around in general but definitely to his frat brothers and friends. He's all about you, and he wants others to know that.

This also goes back to how he and his frat brothers seem like just a bunch of nerds and them asking him how he started dating you and in general being baffled that he was able pull you???? And He's just like "no clue, I'm also confused."

Lowkey concerned if you guys are too different and if you would prefer someone similar to you and your style. If you have friends similar to your style and take the same interests as you, he would be kind of nervous when you're talking about something or someone he knows nothing about and start to form the idea that you would prefer him to like and be different so you guys could also talk about that stuff together.

Genuinely believe that he would ask on a random night while getting ready to go to bed after hanging out with friends if you think you guys are too different and if you would prefer someone more similar to you. This would then in turn lead you to explain that you don't mind being different in style and interests and he has nothing to worry about. But you do offer him the option if he wants, that you can show and teach him certain things, and he can do the same for his selective interests.

When getting ready, you would ask for his opinions on outfits and make him rank them. I think he would enjoy this sooooo much; he likes the different styles, layers, accessories, etc. However, at the same time, I think he would be stumped at what to choose because all are great outfits, and he doesn't seem to see what you say when you dislike or criticize the outfit.

Would like it when your makeup rubs off on him. I see him blushing if he realizes your lipstick or base comes off on him and getting all giddy about it. (He would also pretend he didn't realized it was there and keep it on until someone else mentions it.)

Would take you to frat parties and make you stay close to him to ensure that, 1.) you're safe, but 2.) that no one tries to take you from him. (low-key protective)

Gives you pet names that other people may find weird. I can see him using "my bat" and "my raven," to name a few. I also think along with the pet names he would reference couples in movies and TV for you guys. my personal favorite (obviously by my PFP) but Morticia and Gomez.

⭒❃.✮:▹A/N: sorry its not a lot! I have school and other requests to work on but still please send requests or thoughts, I will make a formal posts for requests if need be but just send them in my inbox for now! much love <3

I saw one of your posts mentioning the parallels between Julian and Dru. Can you dive a little deeper into that or explain it more? It sounds really interesting 😎

of course! sorry this is a little all over the place 😅 it's kinda just all my thoughts plastered together

anyway the thing that began this train of thought was that Mark calls Julian "his dreamer" in TFTSA, and "the dreamer" is also the moniker that Julian gives Dru in LM. everything kinda spirals from there as more parallels occured to me as I thought about it more.

Julian is mistaken multiple times for Andrew; Dru is said to look the most like Eleanor. They're both extremely good liars. The first person they ever killed (at 12/13) was already dead but not quite. They both felt the pressure of having to grow up too fast. Julian is an artist & both Helen and Mark bring up how Dru loved bright colours when she was younger. also like. "you're the heart of the family, baby girl. I promise you. you're our heart." and Julian entire arc in TDA being remembering he has his own and that it's worth something.

another thing that struck me a lot was how Julian used to look after Tavvy after their mom died. not his physical needs, Helen covered those, but he watched over him and played in the same room as him because someone had to. Emma says that's where it all started with Julian & how he holds everything and everyone together. and when their dad dies and Helen & Mark are gone, Dru takes that over from him. Tavvy's almost always with Dru in TDA, and while that's because she's often paired off with him it comes from an underlying assumption that you can rely on Dru to always have Tavvy. and I can't see how that would happen given that Dru is the second youngest unless she, like Julian, did what someone had to. which ties into how her updated flower card is "with me you are safe"

they both need friends a little more than their siblings too imo. like Dru's arc in TDA around Jaime and how she just really badly wants a friend and Julian and his Emma (to quote Mark again lol) well before romance came into the picture. their mutual desire for someone that none of their siblings have because they have each other. Helen & Mark. Livvy & Ty. Julian and Dru are the odd men out. even when Mark & Julian and Ty & Dru do get closer it hinges out the fact Helen is exiled and Livvy is dead. it's no one fault but an impassable divide exists between them anyway.

a more vaguely I think about how Julian's bedroom walls are dedicated to a giant gloomy mural of Sleeping Beauty and Dru's is a shrine to horror and terror. like what's the difference between dreams and nightmares anyway.

LM 4.8.7

Y'all know i hate Gillenormand right? right

so him having his "worst person you know just made a good point" moment here really burns XD

but he's right! he's totally right! Cosette and Marius getting married in their current known-to-them circumstances is a terrible idea

and as much as Marius--and some readers--might be shocked by the idea that Marius should make Cosette his mistress .... that's how he's been treating her. Only seeing her at night, alone, behind her dad's back, no chaperone...that's not how a man of Marius or Gillenormand's class courts a potential wife. Never mind if they've been "chaste" ; if anyone else found out about how they've been carrying on, Cosette's rep would still be as ruined as if they'd been having freaky sex parties all night. Gillenormand may have 18C libertine morals in conflict with Marius and his 19C Respectability , but in this case it just means Gillernormand is sympathetic and not shocked or treating Cosette like a shameful scandal, just going "sure!! have your mistresses! :D "

Seriously, look at this conversation:

Marius did not reply. M. Gillenormand continued:-- "Then I understand the girl is rich?" "As rich as I am." "What! No dowry?" "No." "Expectations?" "I think not." "Utterly naked! What's the father?" "I don't know."

That is not describing a marriage-ready relationship!

 ...the first time I saw her was at the Luxembourg, she came there; in the beginning, I did not pay much heed to her, and then, I don't know how it came about, I fell in love with her. Oh! how unhappy that made me! Now, at last, I see her every day, at her own home, her father does not know it,

this is an affair. As Gillenormand points out:

 As for the little one, she receives you without her father's knowledge. That's in the established order of things. I have had adventures of that same sort myself. More than one. Do you know what is done then? One does not take the matter ferociously; one does not precipitate himself into the tragic; one does not make one's mind to marriage and M. le Maire with his scarf. One simply behaves like a fellow of spirit. 

(italics mine) There is a way relationships like this are treated by Society and it's not as an engagement.

Honestly...I loathe Gillernormand, but it's occurring to me that on this point, Marius is probably lucky his grandpa is Old School; a parent of Marius' own social morality might never forgive Cosette for this Indiscretion. But for Gillenormand, "pretty girls are pretty girls"; his philosophy, ultimately, has room for a woman of Questionable Virtue marrying up.

Marius , meanwhile, can't even understand that he's actually put Cosette's reputation into question. Marius, you booby.

[alarrytale]

Hi! Zerrie anon again,

I don't blindly believe in other people's opinions, yes i do follow them, but i look deeper. I agree, this relationship smelled like a contract, but i have a few doubts.

First: the rumors about Zayn's cheating appeared long before they broke up. In PR relationships, everything is controlled from start to finish and every rumor is immediately silenced. If it was a set-up, their problems wouldn't come out in public.

Second: no contract tells you to get a tattoo of someone's face. And if it wasn't Perrie, why did he cover it up after they broke up?

Third: in the 3 years of their relationship, the paparazzi took fewer pictures of them than for example of Holivia in not even two years.

Besides, Perrie claimed that Zayn broke up with her via text message. If it was PR, they would have come up with something else, i mean more plain, acceptable. You don't sign a contract that will make you an asshole in general public.

To the anonymous person below. Zigi was PR. Gigi was a new face in the modeling world and needed promotion. Her mother Yolanda is the second Kris Jenner, she has a head for business. They had a contract, but they slept together. The child was not planned, but they decided to keep it. Zayn is Khai's father.

Nothing is black and white, things are more complex. Not every relationship between two celebrities is PR. They are celebrities, so of course they attract media attention. just like the fact that if two celebrities get engaged or have a child, it doesn't mean they are in love. They can have a contract, but sleep together.

phew, finally got to the end.

Hi, anon!

I'm really not interested in discussing zerrie, because i concluded over a decade ago that it was a fake relationship, but i do understand the need for you who weren't here to dig into it for yourself. So i'll indulge you.

To your first point; Z was sleeping around yes, because his relationship with P was fake. And it's simply not true that PR relationships are controlled from start to finish. Just look at holivia and the mess of that. They can only control what they can control. They can't control everything and the truth has a way of coming out no matter what.

To your second point; Z got the tattoo to legitimise his relationship with P. The alternative would have been that Z would have to make more of an effort to sell the relationship, pap walks, PDA, events etc. He didn’t want that (it's Zayn) and a tattoo is no big deal. It can be covered or removed. He also got Gigi's eyes tattooed and you just said that was a fake relationship so. H and L also got stunt tattoos. It's a common tactic to sell a fake relationship. You can say the same thing about the engagement, that Z showed sooo much enthusiasm about (this is sarcasm).

Third; Of course we got less pap pics of Z and P than of H and OW. Z and P weren't half as interesting to the general public to get pap pics of as H and OW. They weren't even that popular as a couple within the fandom. Also, see point two about Z getting the tattoo to not have to do as many pap walks.

Every fake relationship need a fake narrative to legitimise it. They needed a reason for the break up (that weren't Z left 1D and with that ended the stunt contract with P). Z breaking up with her through a text does make him sound like a douche, and it's the perfect prompt for LM to write a fuck you to my ex song to show their girl power, which is also exactly what happened (straight from TS playbook). Cow*ll doesn’t care if Z looks bad in this, he's leaving 1D and it helps LM sell albums and get attention.

Now, you tell me why the articles annoucing their relationship happened to be posted at the exact same date as the break up annoucement articles. Screams contract doesn’t it? Also tell me why the break up coincided with Z breaking his 1D contract and leaving. Seems like both contracts were broken doesn’t it? Also please tell me what the likelihood of a Cow*ell controlled, Mod*st managed boybander dating a Cowe*l controlled, Mode*t managed girlbander is. That everything happened organically and were not concocted in Cowe*l's office to expose LM to 1D's fanbase and make them as successful, and have the good looking, mysterious one from 1D date the white, blonde innocent one from LM.

So no, i'm not interested in discussing zerrie. It's a fake relationship and one of the more obvious ones as well.

I wasn't poor like other kids. I had money. My family was working hard to earn money. I wasn't filthy rich, but nor was i starved poor. I was inbetween.

My mother works at a kimono shop. She designed fabulous clothes. She would always get customers day after day. She was famous, always being the main fashionista in town.

My father worked at a blacksmith. He would forge swords and weapons until his arms felt like snapping into two. In the end, he had to quit due to his health.

There was one family member i've grown attached to. And that was my sister. She didn't have a job, but she would always come back with money in her pockets. She wasn't a thief, i know she wasn't.

Sometimes, when my mother was gone and father was out searching for jobs, she would take care of me. She would cook food, play with me and my dolls and tell stories to me before i went to sleep.

Then, when i turned twelve, a strike in badluck happened.

My mother wasn't earning as much anymore. She was getting old and her designs we're getting dull. It didn't help that a new woman moved in town with the same talent as hers.

She closed the shop, making an excuse of a delivery not arriving. On the third day, she fell ill.

My father, who had no luck in a job, drowned himself in alcohol. He would come out of their room crying and sobbing. Then, after a few minutes, he would start being angry. Thrashing around the house and yelling at everything.

It wasn't a pleasant sight for a twelve-year-old girl to see. My sister would always try and hide me from dad. Knowing if I didn't, I wouldn't recover from it.

Speaking of, my sister went out frequently now that mom isn't working. She would sometimes come back with a bunch of money, sometimes she only came back with a few.

She was a ray of hope in my eyes. Despite our circumstances, she fought.

I was weak. I could never cook without being scared of the fire or the knives. I could never go outside without the fear of someone taking me. I could never make friends without the judgement of what they see in me.

"Sister? When are you coming home?"

"It depends, but say. I'll come back with your favorite!"

"Really?!"

"Yes, yes. So, make sure to take care of mom and dad in the meantime. Okay?"

—

"Im off to sleep!" I said. Blowing out all the lights. I stepped into the doorway before realizing my sister wasn't home. I turned and saw the lights in my parents room is gone already.

I slipped on my slippers and closed the door behind me. Opening the gate door and leaving.

"Sister!" I rang out from the streets. Walking in the dead and empty streets. "Sister, where are you?"

Then, the smell hit me.

I focused my eyes and saw my sister. There was blood everywhere. I wanted to run, but I can't. My sister is there, i need to save her.

But, who could save her, from herself?

She was on top of somebody. Kneeling down as if she was praying. She turned and i saw who she had become.

A demon.

"S-Sister?"

We held in eye contact. Her fangs was bright, her eyes wasn't the familiar, soft ones i knew. She had blood on her kimono and her mouth. Her neck had a axe stuck in the side. Only revealing more grotesque view. It took a minute to realize who she was staring at.

Stupidly, i took a step forward. "Sister!" I call out. Running towards her. She backed away, letting herself trip in the body. "Stay away!" she exclaims. "Stay away Y/N!"

"No!" I said desperately. Almost tripping over myself. Letting the blood of the deceased splat on me.

My sister was kind. She was always smiling. She always turned a blind eye to people who've done her bad things. She would always sing me songs, cook me my favorite meals, tell me stories and play games with me. My sister.

"Y/N! Listen to me!" She says, her hands on me shoulders. Shaking me while trembling herself. "You see this?" she asks, pointing to the axe in her neck. "You need to push this in!"

"NO! no no no! I cant!" I cried, pounding on her chest as she made the request. "I can't! Please! I can't do this! Not to you!"

"You have to! If you don't ill kill more people! Please Y/N!" she frantically replied. Reaching for my hands and placing it on the handle of the weapon. "You're a strong girl, aren't you?"

"Please! No!" I shook my head, trying to remove my hands off. "Sister!"

She knelt on the ground. Cradling me like a child. "I can't do this! Sister please." I cried in her chest.

"Its okay." She hummed. Her voice was nice, and warm as summer. "Sorry, Y/N."

I looked up at her, seeing she was also crying. "I haven't been truthful to you."

"What..?"

"The truth is, i've been a bad person. I always stole from kind people. Im sorry for making you look up to me. I've not exactly been a role model for you."

"Who cares?! I dont want you to be perfect! I just want you to come home!"

"Sorry, Y/N. I think I won't be coming home this time." She says, her tears falling down to my face. "I won't be making your favorite food anymore, or telling stories to you."

Her hands felt cold. Pushing my hands on the handle. "Remember what i said earlier? Take care of mom and dad?"

She looked pained. She was crying. I've never seen my sister cry. She was always so happy.

"So, please Y/N. I want you to take care of them for me from now on."

"NO NO NO PLEASE!" I yelled. Pounding my free hand against hers. I felt my hand being pushed more and more as more blood came down her neck.

"Ah, i wish i could see you grow up and get married." She replied calmly. Feeling herself slowly die.

"Y/N. If you dont let me die, I'll kill more people. You dont want that, do you?" She asks me, patting my back.

I shook my head.

"So then, please."

I slowly started to stop crying. "I dont want to be selfish, but do this last thing for me. Y/N."

I found strength in my arm. Calmly pushing the axe slowly.

I lookes at my sister one last time and found a smile.

The same smile she always had. The one i've grown attached to.

"Y/N. I love you."

The axe met the other side. I clung to her body as much as i could. Taking in what scent i could still smell. Taking in what warmth remained.

"I'm sorry, for making you do this to me."

—

It was raining, that day. I guess even the gods felt bad for what happened.

"Damned you! You cursed us all you child!" Father screamed. Throwing glasses at me.

"You're a disgrace! Such a child as you should be left in front of a doorstep!" He said. Drinking more alcohol.

I hid in my room. Cowering in a corner i found staying hours in. The memory replaying over and over in my mind i barely had a chance to breath. I killed my own sister.

I attended the burial of the person my sister killed. I was so emotional i cried the whole day.

When i turned thirteen. I ran away. I was so sick of everyone that i saw in my town. I packed my things, my clothes, money and a small knife. It took me a second glance at my sister's bracelet before i wore it. I changed my clothes, fixed who i was and left home.

Im sure my sister would support my decision. She would want me to stand back up and continue running. She would want me to continue to be who i am.

I didnt know where i was going, nor where i was. It took me atleast a week to figure out what i was doing.

Strangers offered me kindness, and i payed their kindness tenfold. They would always take me in their homes, and i would pay them, help them around and left. Most didn't want to get paid but i insisted anyways.

"Here, thank you for your kindess."

"No no, its okay. We always have runaway children coming to our area."

"Please sir. Take it."

"As i said, its okay!"

"AND I SAID TAKE IT-"

Soon, it was snowing. I hiked up a mountain top assuming for a place to stay. My legs hadn't ever been this tired, getting more exhausted every step in the thick snow.

"Oi! Shigeru! I found someone!" A voice called. A young and male sounding one.

"Who? Who did you find? Is it brother?"

Before my vision blacked out, i saw two kids. A boy and a girl.

—

I awoke to a warm place. It was a contrast to the cold weather i've been walking on for the past hour.

"She's weird!" A young male says. Poking my cheek. "Hey! Don't do that!" An older one replied, swatting the hand.

I blinked a few times before finding myself in view of a family. "What.."

"Who the heck are all of you?!" I panicked. Backing up to a corner with my legs hugging my chest. "Hey! We should ask you that question!" A girl asked.

"Now now, dont be so mean to our guest." A woman says, appearing out of the kitchen. "My name is Kamado Kie. These are my children."

"Rokuta." A young boy with a weird haircut waves her arms everywhere. "Weirdo! Weirdo!"

"Nezuko." She was the only understanding one, well, i guess second understanding one. She had a patient look on her face.

"Takeo." He looked almost annoyed i was here. Even though he was hiding behind his mother.

"Hanako." A bright girl sprung up and walked towards me with a stick. "So? Who are you? What are you?" she asks, thrusting the end of the stick at my legs.

"And Tanjiro, the oldest." He was the first one to understand my situation. He guarded himself around me to make sure none of his siblings were poking fun at me. "Hey! Dont to that. She might get injured!" He says, pulling his sister and looking at me with a smile. "Hello."

"Explain yourself!" Takeo said, as fierce as he could. "I'm L/N Y/N." i finally said, noticing the air softened. "I'm sorry i made such a commotion." i say.

"Its fine. Besides, what we're you doing out in the cold without any proper clothes?" Mrs. Kamado asked, wiping her hands as the youngsters ran around. "I'm.. a runaway."

For some odd reason, they all stopped. Looking at me like i said im the daughter of some really famous guy.

"You're a runaway?!" Shigeru exclaimed, looking at me before running towards me. "That's so cool! I've never seen anyone from other places before!"

"Dont!-" Tanjiro was about to speak up before realizing it was fine now. I held her sister and let her sit on my lap. "Yes, im from another place."

She began kneading my face like it was dough as their mother talked to me. "Must be hard, huh?"

"Not really, i've met kind people on the way." I say, gently pulling off Shigeru and taking my things. "Where are you going?" Nezuko asked before i could bid farewell.

"Im going out. Thank you for-" "You cant!" Tanjiro replied quickly. Making me stop in my steps. I turned and saw they we're all looking at him too.

"I mean, you can't. Its night time. Maybe you should stay over." Tanjiro rephrases his words. Coughing to hide his embarrasment. "That's right! Brother is right!" Hanako agrees. Nodding along to a word he said.

I looked out, sure enough, the snow was brighter due to the night sky. "Alright then." I said. Dropping my things and pulling out some money. "In turn, i'll pay you and help around." I concluded.

"The money is fine, but you dont need to help around. It will be tough work." Mrs. Kamado shakes her head. "You're taking me for the night, no? I don't wanna be a burden." I replied, not taking no for a answer.

Once she saw my unwavering insist, she gave in. "Perhaps you could play with the kids and help around the kitchen."

"Yay!"

"A new playmate! Tag! your it!"

"Huh?! Already?!"

—

As morning came, i woke up early. I looked around and saw nobody was awake just yet. I decided to leave without telling them. I grabbed a piece of paper and a brush, finding a suitable surface to write.

'Thank you again for letting me stay here. Please take the money once more as a compensation for the extra mouth to feed.

—L/N Y/N.'

I placed the note in my futon and along with a little more money. I wore my clothes as silent as i could and slowly opened the door.

"Where are you going?" A tired, voice said behind me. I turned and saw Tanjiro, looking like a different person due to his morning hair.

"I'm leaving now. I've left some money on my bed, if the one i gave last night wasn't enough." I replied, noticing how he seemed almost asleep. Suddenly, he leaned over and gave me a hug. "Dont go."

He fell asleep after a few seconds, i had to drag his body towards his own futon and laying him gently. "I wish you all the luck in the world." I whisper, kissing his forehead before leaving.

I took a deep breath and began walking. Going in a opposite direction far from the warm and cozy home.

— End of ep 1

(I cried while writing her backstory, and yes im weak.)

HOPEFULLY THIS ISNT CRINGE 😓😓😓

[that-1d-blogger]

I just have four words. - Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Yall

I did it.

I actually fucking did it.

I made a half decent drawing of pookie where pookie actually looks like pookie.

That too the picture I wanted of him, my favourite picture of him.

It was a 2+ year drawing battle but I got there.

I don't think y'all understand what this means to me like, ever since I started reading Hazza fanfics, i knew I wanted to draw him, and the girl, i wanted to save the scenes of my favourite books and I wanted to do that by drawing a picture of them

But the problem was i sucked. I actually sucked

Okay, no this isn't Harry's face nor was it ever intended to be, this was one of my first attempts at digital drawing.

Then I started experimenting with small things like Square animals , objects

Then eventually to like 2D characters , this would allow me to have like a good look at body and face outlines.

I thought I was ready and I drew my first ever Harry picture, which was of a famous moment.

I don't wanna face internet's wrath so I cut the actual picture just to the part of his side profile. The colour doesn't match nor do the facial features, everything is off.

Then I read Duplicity. I saw how Julez had basically just made his silhouette on a dark background. I noticed how damn good that looked. Since I obviously sucked at the facial features part I was glad I could conjure up some Harry art by myself without messing it up by adding my horrible features style

After being satisfied with this , i decided to go a bit bold and experiment with his side profile

Took more attempts than i remember but eventually I could finally manage to do it.

Feeling comfortable with my choice , i decided to go for more non face Harry fanarts , but I wanted to take it one step further.

Drawing his tattoos and making the background somewhat real or good was a bi**h. Like the actual Harry part took like 10-15 mins to draw and colour , and the rest hours were spent on making all his tattoos, and then the background setting.

And now I'm so excited because I finally did make a fanart after my first successful face drawing . I'm almost done reading one of my favourite books, Vigilante by intermissionfl0wer on Wattpad so i wanted to make a fanart about it . Here's Harry and Marshmallow

And lm in love with the way it turned out.

Thanks for reading the rant. Have a 🍪 I'm so proud of you.

Can't wait to draw other lads.

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: To Be or NOT to Be...?

PREVIOUS POST

In Many More Heroes, after OMT!Tails and Pana managed to bait LM!Sonic into the Quill Society meeting room, he was quickly detained by one of Zonic's rings.

Zonic: Hold it there, LM.

EV!Sonic: What's the worry?

OMT!Tails: I found this stuff in LM!Sonic's dorm you might wanna look at.

OMT!Tails passed him the files.

EV!Sonic: Way to go, little dude!

Milly: So with this, we need an explanation as to what LM's been hiding from us.

Zonic inserted the claimed disc into E-21 while LM!Sonic simply looked on.

Zonic: Right. To begin with, E-21, explain the thing.

E-21: What thing?

Zonic: What do you mean what-?! The universal-explainy thing!

E-21: Ah, right!

She activated a hologram.

(Keep in mind that this isn't all the people in the room at the time.)

The panels under the meeting room began to activate as a circle formed around them.

OMT!Tails: What is this?

Zonic: This... is everything.

The circle lit up the meeting room to show many different video clips.

OMT!Tails: Is it okay if you specify further?

Zonic: Right, sorry. The molecule-like connectors with dots around? This is all of us. All of our lives woven together, in a wonderful link to life and destiny.

OMT!Tails (in awe): The SEGAVerse...

Zonic: "SEGAVerse"? Huh, that's... not its name. It's called the Special-Extravagant-Galactic-spAce Vast Multiverse.

Everyone looked at him in confusion about it.

Zonic: ...which honestly isn't the best name I thought up, honestly.

Sunky and Tlels took notice of the nodes on the hologram between the links.

Tlels: And those nodes where those lines converge?

LM!Sonic: They're typical canon points. Chapters that are part of a hero's story quite a lot of times. Some good...

Holograms are shown of SoH!Sonic getting his super speed, the Sonic 2 opening cutscene from Sonic Origins, and SatAM Sonic and Sally sharing a kiss.

LM!Sonic: ...some bad...

Some more holograms are shown of Scorched fighting Prowler, which concerns Milly, frustrates Sunky and Tlels and confuses Blitz!Tails, a Sonic struggling to find air in Labyrinth Zone, and Archie Mina taking the bullet for her Sonic and Sally. Milly is quick to realise the implications of the third one.

Milly: ...What if I can't make it work...? EV!Sonic: Hey, I'm sure you still can.

Zonic: And some... *sigh* REALLY bad...

Maria Robotnik's death from Project: Shadow is shown on a seventh hologram, to the horror of Movie Shadow. LM!Sonic gestured over to an eighth hologram that came in front of him as EV!Sonic kept an eye on him, ensuring he wasn't going to hide THAT one especially.

LM!Sonic: This one, Event ASM-91? A close companion to a hero dies trying to stop a personal villain of that hero.

The hologram showed footage of a younger Movie Sonic trying to go back for Longclaw, then ART sacrificing himself for Underground Sonic and his siblings to escape (which saddened UG!Sonic), and finally Mobiverse Sonic giving himself up to save Antho from Mammoth Mogul.

OMT!Tails: Did that happen to several of you guys, too...?

Sarah Henderson: In all honesty? Yeah...

D-Sides Mighty: And... what of it?

LM!Sonic: These are how the story's supposed to go.

Other holograms fly around them depicting other "canon events"; Deja vu about the Soleanna events, Shadow sacrificing his life for Sonic, and a couple of other cases.

LM!Sonic: I know EV doesn't believe what I'm saying, but canon events are the connections that bind our lives together. Yet, those connections can end up broken. It's why anomalies are so dangerous...

A hologram flashing back to OMT!Tails saving the little girl, BK!Sonic helping stop a train bound to crash, and BK!Amy rescuing Merlina from an ambush a few hours earlier.

LM!Sonic: Merlina's death was MEANT to be a canon event, and you, Tails, weren't supposed to be there or give BK time to save her! That's why Mina tried to stop you.

A flashback to the three-way rescue sequence is shown, with OMT!Mina grabbing OMT!Tails's arm doing the rush to save the kid.

Past OMT!Mina: Tails!

OMT!Tails: You what? I... I thought you were trying to save me, Mina.

OMT!Mina: I was, Tails, I... I was doing both.

LM!Sonic: And now, Prower, because you changed the story, BK!Amy's universe will most likely unravel! If we're lucky, we can stop it from happening, but we haven't always been lucky.

OMT!Tails: Hey, that wasn't me! That was Crimtake!

EV!Sonic: Yeah, like I just told you!

LM!Sonic: It's what happens when you break the canon!

EV!Sonic: Oh, boy... Here we go...

OMT!Tails: How would you know that?!

LM!Sonic: ...Because I broke it once myself, after that scumbag Eggman murdered two of my friends. I found another world where I was actually happy. At least, another variant of me was. And that version of myself was killed by Mephiles, so I replaced him.

Images are shown of LM!Sonic living a happier life in an alternate dimension, his past smile disappearing to his present-day scowl.

LM!Sonic: I thought it was harmless... but I was completely wrong.

Further images show that dimension collapsing, akin to Sonic '06's End of the World, several members of the Quill Society trying and failing to save others. LM!Sonic was running through the streets of Soleanna, Elise in his arms.

Elise: S-Sonic! Get me to the Aquatic Base! You need to put this right!

She was dying fast in LM!Sonic's arms as he raced there at top-speed.

LM!Sonic: Elise, CR? Isn't that right?

CR!Sonic: Y-Yeah...

The destruction played out in full, holographic shards flying past OMT!Tails in the aftermath.

LM!Sonic: You break enough canon, you keep doing the wrong thing... and we could end up losing it all.

The central hologram faded away as EV!Sonic and Tekno turned back.

Tekno: Look, is it really down to you breaching that world's intentions? Because it could've been another force at play!

Zonic: Honestly, I agree. Some other creep might've caused that mess just to watch you suffer.

SS!Amy: Mhm. It's like trying to claim me and my friends were "destined" to die when Finitevus erased our old home!

During this, OMT!Tails remembered from earlier.

OMT!Tails: ...Crimtake's planned target...

Crimtake: I’m going to claim what’s left of your ‘family’, Prower. Try and stop me if you can, ‘hero’!

OMT!Tails: And if Crimtake claims Cream... When does this happen?

LM!Sonic remained silent.

OMT!Tails (angered): I said WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?!

LM!Sonic: In 12 hours, while she's asleep.

E-21: It's... what LM!Sonic's data says.

LM!Sonic: Look, I'm sorry, kid.

OMT!Tails: I need to get moving!

SS!Amy: Yeah! I'm coming with you!

LM!Sonic: I can't let you do that, Tails. Not now.

OMT!Tails: Then what am I supposed to do?! Just let my only remaining family DIE?!

LM!Sonic just nodded as OMT!Tails turned to OMT!Mina.

OMT!Tails: What about your band? They were close to you, right?

OMT!Mina: Yeah...

OMT!Tails: And you're not gonna do anything if they end up in danger?! Okay, what about Uncle Chuck?

He looked over to CR!Sonic, who looked back wordlessly.

OMT!Tails: Would that have been okay if you knew, and you just... let a villain murder your family?!

CR!Sonic: If not for Chuck, a good handful of us wouldn't even be here, Tails.

He showed some more holograms of big portrayals of Chuck in media, the most prominent being in the aftermath of XE!Sonic leaving XE!Jules for dead.

CR!Sonic: And all the good that we did, it... It wouldn't have been done.

UG!Sonic recalled moments that his brother complained about.

UG!Manic: It's just, well... [Hits a drum] I've been thinking... everything we beat, Butt-nik rebuilds. What's the point? Past UG!Sonic: Hey, we just munched a solid-fuel installation. That's not too shabby. UG!Manic: Yeah, I guess. [Sighs] Seems like nothing really changes.

Manic: Yes, but my question is when? For all we know, it could happen twenty years from now. Why bother?!

Back in the present...

UG!Sonic: So what?! So... In this context LM is trying to enforce, we're just supposed to let people close to us die, just because some ALGORITHM-

E-21 (panicked): Woah, woah!

UG!Sonic: -says that's supposed to happen?! What in the world's wrong with you?!

OMT!Tails: Yeah! You three do realise how outright messed up that sounds, right?!

Zonic: *sigh* Alright, let's all take a moment here. So, think about this, in a way. You've heard HIS talk about a supposed way of doing things, right? Now, you have a choice. A choice between saving someone truly special to you, or saving a world. EVERY world if we're talking on a grander scale. Now, look, I'm not trying to force you to choose here. Nobody can. But what would you personally prioritise, if forced into it?

Almost everyone in the room: Both!

OMT!Tails: I can do BOTH of those things! A hero of Mobius always-!

CR!Sonic: Not... "always".

LM!Sonic: You can't have it all, child. Being the hero of Mobius is a sacrifice. That's the job, the job you signed up for.

Fiona: *sigh* Tails...

LM!Sonic's lot gather around OMT!Tails, with SS!Amy stepping between them.

OMT!Tails: Fiona...? What is this? Are you trying to intervene in my heroics?!

Turbo: We know it's hard, but it's still the truth, Tails.

OMT!Tails: Is that why you're gathering around me and Amy now? To let us down easy?

EV!Sonic: You lot, give them room!

OMT!Tails: It worked last time. Why not run it back, huh?

CR!Sonic: H-Hey, hold on there!

OMT!Tails (glaring at OMT!Mina): You were right, Mina. You should NEVER have gotten me involved in this brainwashed freak's game to begin with! You said yourself that you've no interest in professional work, yet that sorry excuse of a "hero" forced you to work with him anyway!

CR!Sonic: Kid, look at me.

OMT!Tails: Stop calling me that!

Pana: And here we go...

Antho: Yeah. Screw that guy.

D-Sides Mighty: Agreed.

Fiona: Pana, Antho, Mighty, you aren't helping.

Antho, Pana and D-Sides Mighty: Good.

OMT!Tails flashed a smile to those three and the kinder Quill Society members.

CR!Sonic: Please understand-!

OMT!Tails: You CAN'T ask me not to save Cream! My life is meaningless without her!

SS!Amy: Yeah! You can't ask him to play by your rules!

LM!Sonic: I'm not asking you.

LM!Sonic used an energy field to restrain OMT!Tails, which shocked everyone except for LM!Sonic's group. CR!Sonic and OMT!Mina quickly backed off seeing this, reconsidering their words.

OMT!Mina (genuinely scared for OMT!Tails): Stop that!

LM!Sonic: If I let him leave, he'll only cause MORE damage. You both know that!

CR!Sonic: No, man! This is going too far!

CR!Sonia: Yeah, you big meanie! That's enough!

CR!Manik nodded, pulling an angry raspberry at LM!Sonic. Antho, though, had a plan, using a hand gesture to remind Tails to absorb that energy from the sphere.

Antho (quietly): Like this, little dude.

LM!Sonic: We just need to hold you for a few hours! Sorry it had to end like this, kid-.

He heard the charging behind him, turning around in shock.

OMT!Tails: I said not to call me that!

Tails's vision darted around, pinning at LM!Sonic and Turbo, and triggering a blast that knocked them backwards.

UG!Sonic: Woo! Nice one, man!

Antho chuckled in approval.

D-Sides Mighty: That paid off nicely!

Milly: What do we do now?

EV!Sonic: Tails, SS, hurry over to the Transport Hub in Sector 30, and use it to bolt after Crimtake and stop him! Everyone else, be ready to cover them!

LM!Sonic got up, his temper having reached his limit.

LM!Sonic: MILES PROWER!

He leapt at the fox, with SS!Amy promptly hitting him back into the wall before he bolted off.

Antho: If he gets to that Hub first, we're in big trouble!

Tekno: Right! On your way there, Tails, send out a red alert to everyone on the planet to stop LM! And ensure he's baited over to the Terminal Velocity spot at Sector 19. That should buy you both enough distance to reach the Hub first.

OMT!Tails: Right! Come on, Amy!

SS!Amy: Right!

The two dashed off, with Turbo and Fiona in pursuit.

EV!Sonic: Everyone else, dispatch! Apprehend LM through any means necessary!

Sarah (through a communicator to Sonic.RAW): RAW? It's Sarah. I need you to get your gear ready. We've got a rogue to apprehend!

Sonic.RAW: On it right now, ma'am!

Every Quill Society member in the room headed out.

CR!Sonic: Alright.

CR!Manik: Should we help Tails out, dad?

CR!Sonic: Yeah. Sorry I'm doing this to you both... This is definitely bad parenting... Just hang tight!

CR!Sonia: You got it!

The three left.

Pana: ...And just for the record, I quit trying to bother with LM.

TWP: my arthurian headcanon pt.3

A plea for help: This one... hurts. I don't want her to go that way but as of right now i don't see her story going anywhere else.

Livia Blackthorn, fourth of the Seven Blackthorn Siblings: unfortunately, yes, i have to make the comparison with Morgana Le Fay. Historically, Morgana gives in to her thirst for power and becomes the antagonist (this hurts, i hate it) of Arthur (no) and Merlin's (please, god, no) quests.

However. (Let's take a deep breath.) In some versions, Morgana used to be Merlin's apprentice and once he grew tired of her, he inadvertently turned her evil.

I don't like it, i really don't, but let's face it: things are already going sideways for her as a ghost. She was gone, presumably to rest in peace with her parents and now she is a literal haunting, she can't communicate with her other loved ones and the forbidden magic is already taking it's toll on her mind - to the point that she nurtured thoughts of possessing not only a baby, but also her own sister.

In life, she wanted to be bonded do Ty, to have their own adventures, to discover the world together - she hated the idea of going to Scholomance since LM because Centurions can't have parabatai.

In death, she is chained to him, and that heavy chain seems to be steadily bringing her down. She is forced to follow Ty wherever he goes not because they made an oath, but because she scarcely exists by herself.

There is a great part of me who wonders if she'll resent it someday or if bigger forces are going to use her to their own ends, and the rest of me hopes she remains the same Livvy i love. Deep down i know she isn't what she used to be. She'll never be that girl again because that girl is gone.

"You cannot hear me, even though I am speaking to you because I have things I need to tell you. "

2 - Alanna series, Tamora Pierce Team George all the way - also possibly my introduction to the genre of girl dresses up like a boy to do fun things and save the world. Also, not for nothing but Alanna has relationships with three different men in the series and does not get slut shamed for it, which for a bunch of books I read in like middle school is pretty cool.

3 - Dark is Rising, Susan Cooper Will/Bran might have been my first ship before I even knew what I was doing. Also they are fantastic fantasy - and for the love of God do not ever watch the travesty of a movie.

4- Lord Peter Wimsey, Dorothy L Sayers I'm not picking just one - but I guess if I had to pick I'd pick the four with Harriet Vane. I met Peter Wimsey in high school, and basically he's been my benchmark for men ever since.

5 - Little Thieves, Margaret Owen Retelling of the Goose Girl from the perspective of the Goose Girl. Trauma and recovery and nuance. Also, a heist.

6 - Red White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston I read this when it came out and literally stopped in the middle of my commute to text my roommate 'they're fighting in a closet!'. Also, first book I managed to reread all the way through about four months into the pandemic. Still a comfort read.

7 - Raven Cycle, Maggie Stiefvater I have read and listened to these book so many times, I can't even tell you. (cheating but also Scorpio Races)

8 - Barbed Wire Heart, Tess Sharpe I love everything she writes (and she narrates her own audiobooks and it's cool to hear her voice do them) - If you ever watched Justified, this is kind of like an exploration of someone like Mags Bennett - morally grey but on the side of right.

9 - Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison Intimate fantasy about learning how to be emperor, and learning how to be the kind of emperor you want to be when you weren't ever supposed to be emperor. And yes, there are lots of stories like this - but this one doesn't come with an epic quest, or a big battle, it's just the slow battles of politics and council meetings (and they build a really cool bridge).

okay, tagging @wtfuckevenknows, and @redshirt2, and @irispurpurea in return.

Did you ever read the LMM short story 'The Growing Up of Cornelia'? It has another Dean figure (Sidney, a tall dark man who is a ~cynic and ~detests society) straight down to the age gap, although here I can't decide if it's better or worse haha. I adore the first line: "Aunt Jemima gave me this diary for a Christmas present. It's just the sort of gift a person named Jemima would be likely to make."

I actually hadn’t read this (or if I had I absolutely forgot) but why does it feel like LM Montgomery wrote a Jo March x Dean Priest crossover. Cornelia—or even better, “Nic”—is so exactly the kind of girl heroine I was obsessed with as a child. Honestly, I’d have LOVED to read a whole book about her, I’m sad she only got a short romantic story.

But Sidney is absolutely the Dean/David/Barney prototype (since I see this story was published in 1908, so LMM had put that together earlier than I thought)—deeply Gothic with the house and the grounds and everything. Also the previous engagement that gets Nic jealous, very Valancy about Ethel Traverse of her. Love to see LMM cannibalizing herself this way.

I also can’t decide if Sidney is worse for wishing Nic is young vs Dean waiting for Emily to be old, though they express happiness at the effect the youthfulness of both girls have on them which is. Alright Mr Midlife Crisis. And that final paragraph about “what happened after that isn’t fit to be in a diary.” 👀 ok I see you Maud.
