Oh! You’re right! It’s Yuuko Time up next!

My only next problem is I don’t know at which point I should switch back to Tsubasa this time around. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Orchid and mahonia 💕

Orchid- song you consider to be perfect

Hmm just one? ;-; Idk why but whenever I hear Carneval of Rust it always awakes some emotions in me I didn't know existed. Also shoutout to @dargeon-lissa for making me curious about band The Amazing Devil, their songs are truly ❤ (especially this one and this one)

Also I've just remembered there's a rock version of Careless Whisper... the feels ;-;

Mahonia - what place, thing, activity inspires you the most and how do you express yourself when it does?

Why, this sounds precisely like stuff therapists ask lmao like inspires to do what exactly? I guess question isn't about academic stuff. But beside writing fics I don't do anything 'creative' and even then inspiration is rly sporadic

[tachvintlogic]

So I wrote the fic and now it's on AO3. It's only open for registered users right now. So if you don't have an account you should get one.

Submitted Prompts #5

After Danny became the Ghost King, the entire magic community learned that the King was available for summons again. Slight issue: Danny is different from the previous King. His summoning circle has completely different requirements that everyone is rushing to figure out for their own purpose.

Um, hi ?

I was going through your tag reaction to pandora hearts and I noticed that you didn't react since August 19. I don't know if it's just my tumblr, but if it isn't, did you drop it ? I'm sorry if you've made a post about it, it's just ... You stopped at the beginning of a really amazing arc that changes a lot of stuff and I was so excited to read your opinions !

Okay, I can answer this now. Basically what happened is that I was kind of wondering if I wanted to continue liveblogging it or if I wanted to just read it on my own.

Basically when I was reading volume 13, I felt confused about something, can't remember what, so I thought about restarting the series and just reading by myself all the way through as a bit of a refresher.

I haven't done that at this point because I got distracted by other things I've been liveblogging, school, dental problems, and new games.

But I'm definitely going to start it back up soon now that I know someone is looking forward to my opinions. Hearing that someone wants to hear my opinions and getting asks and replies always inspires me to read and liveblog.

I think if I had gotten to volume 13 again without an ask like this I probably would have gone on reading by myself, because I hadn't really gotten the impression a lot of people cared about my PH readthrough. But since I did get this ask, I'll probably pick PH back up soon.

Hi !

Sorry to bother you, I'm just kinda lost, did you know that whenever I click on an anon icon in an ask it takes me to your blog or is it just my tumblr fucking up ?

tsuna: high respect.

shoichi: best friend.

the people that stood up to him are the ones he likes the most now.

it’s so difficult to explain to people he literally 180′d so hard from what he was like before! he is genuinely nice!! it just really isn’t obvious underneath all the High Self-Esteem!!!

It’s possible! I haven’t seen the anime adaptation myself, but the manga has g o r e. 

Like. So so much, in such horrifying scenes that they really stuck with me for years afterwards. I struggle to see how they would have put that in an anime, let alone one that seemed relatively fine at such a young age, so without knowing for sure I’d lean towards assuming that it was cleaned up a lot for the adaptation. 

[st-just]

So honestly the pitch on the website does a decent job getting the basic point across.

The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that  were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning  golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland,   denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles.   In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the   Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people   sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her   reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands  the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a  knife.

Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

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

A Practical Guide to Evil is a YA fantasy novel about a young girl  named Catherine Foundling making her way through the world – though, in a   departure from the norm, not on the side of the heroes. Is there such a thing as doing bad things for good reasons, or is she just   rationalizing her desire for control? Good and Evil are tricky concepts,  and the more power you get the blurrier the lines between them become.

Basically, think generic high fantasy world*, but with kind of a Discworld-ey twist. Good and Evil are real things, and so are Heroes and Villains - ‘Named’ like ‘Black Knight’, ‘Warlock’, ‘Bumbling Conjuror’, ‘Thief’ and so on are basically the official Pro- and Antagonists of Reality, with general superhuman abilities and also ‘Aspects’ that are just actually superpowers. Also, narrative logic is a real thing, and the world generally tries to align itself around a story to let it come to an appropriate conclusion.

A couple decades back, a clique of particularly pragmatic and intelligent Villains seized control of the Dread Empire of Praes and basically did their best to reform it into a centralized, bureaucratic state. This worked magnificently, and the reformed Legions of Terror were able to successfully conquer the Good Kingdom of Callow (...it’s England) for the first time.

A generation latter, Catherine Foundling is an girl at one of the empire’s many state run orphanages (it’s just good policy to keep an eye on any orphans with potential mysterious legacies or strange destinies and snuff them out in the crib). She, through a series of dramatic events, becomes the Black Knight’s Squire. From there, things spiral wildly out of control.

Idk I’m probably not doing a great job selling it. @triviallytrue​ you’d probably do a better job of this than I am?

*Though it gets more original and creative in worldbuilding as the story goes on. But, like, it very much never stops being obvious fantasy equivalents of RL cultures for most nations, and the dwarves are clearly dwarves and the elves are clearly elves and so forth. If you tried to make it into a D&D setting, it wouldn’t be hard

So I started reading a practical guide to evil last march when I was in isolation, and just today I have finished book 6. Holy shit. All I can think is holy shit. It's so so good.

Oh, I’m glad you enjoyed it! (Also congratulations on pacing yourself way better than I did when I first started reading.)

It’s a really fun story, yes! And Eratic is shockingly good at coming up with really lovely prose and poetry on occasion, given they’re basically writing on an assembly line.

Anyways, I’d say welcome to the fandom but there’s like..5? of us on tumblr. And go catch up on Book 7!

[squishyneet]

Lookism ch 396-397 spoilers

So Gun is the “Nurture Genius”, basically like the fighting instructor genius. If he is the nurture genius, Tom Lee is the fighting genius, then what is Goo? Is he a specific kind of genius as well? What kind would he be?

Also it looks like Gun stole Goo’s glasses smh Goo can’t stop getting robbed

I think the other person who has two bodies is Jinyoung himself. He and Daniel both have the copy ability, so I think it would make sense if they had something else in common. I wonder why he wanted to hide it from Eugene, and if Eugene even believes him.

If the person Vin Jin killed was his junior, I wonder if they were living some kind of miserable life and he wanted to put them out of their misery.

Edit: @dargeon-lissa I do think Jinyoung is Daniel’s dad. Maybe the bodies are genetic or smth? I don’t think Jinyoung knows about Crystal’s bodies because apparently no one was able to find him and giving out his whereabouts is not something Eugene does easily. I don’t think he would give Charles Choi that assistance nor do I think Charles would go around asking for help. Crystal confirmed that Charles is the only one who knows. Goo is probably the weapons genius since he’s the one who’s always using random objects.

[brave-symphonia]

I can’t answer the ask I just got properly because I only 2 minutes until I have to enter the Zoom call for my Japanese class, but I just want to say not to worry, I have not dropped Pandora Hearts.

I’ll properly answer the ask and explain more after my class in an hour. But I will get back to Pandora Hearts, I haven’t dropped it.

Part 3

For @dargeon-lissa @dp-marvel94 @aethtalon

...

“I- Uh- I’m not you- I-“ Danny racked his brain for an explanation that wouldn’t immediately get him killed. He'd entered the ghost's haunt. How had his room become a ghosts haunt?! But the thing didn't attack, didn't possess him, or use some mind altering power. It only tipped its head and watched him flounder for words. It seemed to notice it’s disguise slipping. The light in its eyes faded, leaving behind a dead grey-blue.

It sighed, "Did Vlad do this?"

"W-what?"

"Vlad Masters. Did he do this?"

"Why would Dad's creepy friend send me to the future?" He still didn't think it was the future, ghosts could have some crazy powers but that? No.

"Because he's a fruitloop." It answered immediately, and accurately, the guy from Wisconsin wouldn't leave his mom alone. But why, how, could he have anything to do with this?! The thing stopped, its eyes flashed green again for a moment as it said, "Wait- Future?!"

Danny nodded, he'd barely been sure what was happening but he was certain that's was what the ghost had said. Surely one ghost's explanation would be more accepted than the other?

“Where’s your medallion then?”

“My what?”

“Clockwork’s medallion. I know how time travel works."

Danny opened his mouth, then closed it. Ignoring the utterly bizarre statement. This was a trap, a trick. The ghost masquerading as him either wanted the object for itself or it wanted to remove his only protection against the other one, the one that had frozen him in place without seeming to expend a drop of energy. No, no, it couldn't have it. But there weren't many other options. He should've known better than to bring up the time question! He needed to get out of here!

He threw the first thing he could reach, hoping to catch it off guard and ran towards it— Through it, even better. He sprinted down the stairs. There was a flash of bight light behind him, he dodged low, almost throwing himself down the stairs before he realized nothing had been fired.

"Whoa, hang on!" Its voice echoed in a way it hadn't before. He kept running, not wasting a moment to glance at it, and ran directly into someone.

"Whoa! Hey, Dann-o! You came outa—"

"Ghost! In my room!" His dad didn't miss a beat, the gun was up by the time he finished the word 'ghost' and he was firing by time the sentence was over.

The specter dodged the first blast, made a shield for the second and paused to speak, "So not cool, man!"

His mom heard the commotion and joined the fray, while Danny sprinted to the basement. He needed a weapon, that thing had been mimicking him. He barreled into the lab, to the weapons case. Opened it and—

Crash.

He barely jumped back in time to avoid getting crushed.

What?!

Who filled the case with all this junk?!? The case was the second most important piece of the lab (the portal took first), not even Dad wouldn't do this?!

"Danny?" Sam looked at him from the other end of the room, slightly baffled. Tucker was also staring. "Did you bring it?"

"Bring wha—"

"Dude, what's with the jumpsuit?" Tucker cut him off, "Is it really that dangerous? I thought you said you blasted it?"

"What? We talked about the jumpsuit!"

"Did we?" Tucker looked to Sam.

"No." She affirmed.

"Could you explain it again, then?"

"Its cause of all the ghosts..." Danny said slowly, they should know this, he'd been wearing them since the first ghost attacks... Suspicion crossed both his friend's features.

There was a long pause, the pair shared a look and Sam demanded, "Secret word."

"Uh, what?"

"What's the secret word." Tucker clarified, as if that clarified anything.

"What are you guys- Hey! Whoa!" Three ectoguns were now pointed at him, Sam with twin wrist blasters and Tucker with a laser-y thing that had come out of his PDA (When did he do that? It was a very good idea).

"Who are you?" Said Sam.

"Is Vlad cloning again?" Asked Tucker.

"What? No! I mean I don't know! I'm not impersonating me, the ghost upstairs is impersonating me!"

"Nice try. Now answer."

"Uh... Sam?" Tucker was focused on the PDA screen. She glanced at him, quickly, before focusing back on Danny. She'd used these before, not like Sam... His Sam, who avoided any involvement with ghost hunting, who refused to accept that they were just monsters. "His scans are weird..."

"What kind of weird?"

"He's a level 2.5." Tucker switched to a whisper.

"What?" Sam followed suit, "That's too low for a shapeshifter."

"Uh... that's normal..." Danny lied, well kind of. He normally was a level 1.3 but he'd also just been in a ghost's lair (two lairs if you counted not-future-him's bedroom) and had a ghostly artifact in his pocket. Those things were likely to temporarily raise an ectosignature's power rating. He was 76% sure.

Another pause, Sam tried to gesture something while still aiming, there were some whispers he didn't catch. Then Tucker asked, "Did Vlad... raise you?"

"No!? Why does everyone keep talking about Vlad?! The Fruitloop lives in Wisconsin, I've seen him maybe twice!" The pair shared another look. He had no idea how to read those expressions.

He sighed, "You guys won't believe me."

"Try us."

"Yesterday I was at the—"

"Guys! We have a problem!" His hair stood on end as the ghost dropped through the ceiling. Danny shuttered. It was so much worse now that he got a look at it, it was wearing a Fenton hazmat suit, his suit, no, a mockery of it. The colors were inverted and the FentonWorks logo was replaced with some other symbol. That wasn’t the only thing inverted, twisted, he was staring at his own face only not. It’s tintless white hair stuck up just like his, and it’s eyes burned deadly ectoplasm green. Danny still didn’t have a weapon. “Oh, you found him! We have slightly less of a problem.”

“He’s saying Vlad has nothing to do with this... I’m not sure if I believe him.” Sam lowered her blasters, because he was somehow more of a threat than the monster crackling with unused power.

“Yeah, no... he said something about time travel—“ both of his friends groaned, “Then! He sicced my parents on me,” It turned his attention to him, “which is rude by the way! Honestly, I was getting close to being able to ask about a truce, but now they’re gonna be chasing me around for ‘attacking their son!”

“Oof,” Tucker added, as Sam asked about something the ghost could do to get his parents back on his side. Danny stopped listening and scanned for something useful in the pile of discarded machinery. Weapon, weapon, weapon... this wasn’t promising. There were blenders and half disassembled watches and a few things that looked like they’d been pulled out of a trash fire. The thing that looked the least like junk was probably a scanner, but his parents had started putting tasers in those, so it was something.

“Hey,” too late. the ghost was in front of him, he dove for it. Grabbed it. Rolled with the momentum and brought the scanner up as he got to a kneeling position. The thing came to life with a whirring sound.

The ghost laughed, the sound lasted longer than it’s mouth had been open, “That’s the ghost Gabber.”

“That’s the Ghost Gabber. I am a ghost, fear me!”

“Look, I don’t know what’s up with you, but really it’s better for everyone if you go back to whatever time you’re from.”

“Look, I don’t know what’s up with you, but really it’s better for everyone if you go back to whatever time you’re from. Fear me.”

“Could you please turn that off.”

“Could you plea—“ The sound died as Danny flipped the switch and tossed it back on the pile. Why did his parents even make that?

“Why should I trust you, Ghost?!”

@dargeon-lissa @dustedrosettes thank you both so much, both for giving me feedback and also for your very kind words <3 after a good night's sleep, two episodes of haikyuu!!, and reading what the two of you wrote as well as some advice from an author i admire quite a bit, im feeling much better about this whole thing.

i'm gonna work on the italics issue bc yeah, okay, one italicized word per paragraph is too much lmao. but i'm relieved that the whole "readability" thing might be more a preference towards a certain type of prose and less of a technical issue. i think flowery and dramatic is the perfect voice for tom's narration and i don't intend to tone it down.

as for the plot part - yeah lmao they don't have a leg to stand on. i didn't add the new tag because the plot changed, i added it because i realized that i hadn't before and that the beginning of a new arc was a good moment for people to jump ship if they didn't want to read a story that went in that direction. evidently, it was the right choice; i'd much rather write for people who are invested in the story i want to tell, and not for people who want a different story all-together.

the readability critique worried me, but "the plot/tags changed" really irks me. you don't get to say that the plot/tags changed just because the story went on its course and it just so happened to be a course you didn't like, especially when 1) there have been hints since the beginning (which the both of you confirmed and clearly noticed during your reading, so it's not just my author bias speaking) and 2) I LITERALLY JUST ADDED THE ONE TAG. And a "tags may be added" or something tag, which is just to cover my ass in case something unexpected comes up and I want to keep it on.

It's profoundly annoying to put all this effort into a work only to then get this sort of criticism from people who clearly didn't pay enough attention. Although, to be fair, it also makes me appreciate people like the two of you a lot more, so, really, "há males que vêm por bem".

Once more - thank you both <3

🤔 well, the ""plot"" didn't change, the main beats have been ser in stone for the last two years (some of them since "Ridiculous" actually, so... more than that), though i'm more than aware that people were very willing to ignore the foreshadow-y parentheses & hints and focus on the cute boys pining.

but i want yalls opinion: do you think the arc 2 chapters are less readable? i actually think ive improved in terms of italics & grammar but i cant really evaluate that as well as a reader can. does anyone have opinions here??

(also, just to leave the note: i'm not asking for... i dont know, reassurance or critiquing this person's opinion. it's their right to feel like this, and i'm never going to please or write for everyone. but i /am/ interested in constructive criticism and the readibility aspect got me a bit concerned)
