[conejitomareador]

what made you wanna write the story for bitchless?

this question is so important to me... so i'll do my best to answer in full detail okay !!

i've been on and off in the south park fandom since i was in grade school, posting art on deviantart, alright? i love south park and i consume a lot of fan content. it's the autism, definitely. i got diagnosed during my second year of art school.

but i think that if art school gives you a specific mindset it's one of questioning visual art in all its forms. so, after my last comeback to these spaces in february 2022 i came to the conclusion that i don't like a few things that i see in fanart:

(this is not me saying that you shouldn't. if you or anyone reading this like them it's totally cool!! tropes and ships are popular for a reason, you know?)

1- i don't like stan's characterization. cishet (and in denial), popular, jock stan was a very common headcanon/trope that i grew up with, especially during the last decade. it made a lot of sense when the show started, but as we watch the current seasons, we see stan evolve into this nerdy kid who is obsessed with board games, quotes anime and enjoys metal music. we see him pay little to no attention to his girlfriend and growing more and more fixated towards his male best friend, he's always been curious about gender to the point of imitating big gay al. we see him literally question his own gender in bathroom doors. we barely see him play sports at this point? i don't think that the stan we currently have is headed to the direction the fandom had pointed towards him. so i started drawing him like a nerd. moving on.

2- i don't like how weirdly protective people are about canon ships (a.k.a. if someone made me date my grade school boyfriend right now i would hate it so much). stendy, creek and tolchole (to a lesser degree) are often kind of treated like a monolith- they're unquestionable and unmovable and always there, "because it's canon". i know how important was for creek to become canon, i was there. but after watching post-covid... man. does it give me a weird aftertaste that these two ten year olds who were forced into a relationship ended up married and these other two ten year olds who have lived in the same town for decades are now in a weird situationship. they should date other people at least for a little bit, develop emotional maturity and decide if they wanna stick together at least lol. and with stendy, i'd stay first love should be a first love and that's it (i was talking with pom about that!!), making it endgame after such a long time of seeing that stan barely cares makes me feel weird. people being super weird about creek or style to the degree of calling themselves purists and DNI'ing whoever ships other things threw me off immensely as well. i'm sorry. this is just a me thing probably.

3- this is very similar, but i like to see different dynamics and how they play out!! after almost 30 years of existing, south park fan content often falls in the same common places. nothing wrong with that of course!! but i wanna see things playing out in ways i don't see often.

4- this is just a pet peeve of mine and it's not as common nowadays but why are we giving older designs of characters a big version of their childhood outfits. i don't know a single person who still wears or even keeps the winter hat they wore as a kid. the characters should be recognizable through their outfits!! there's so many possibilities, we should make it fun you know!!

edit: i believe it’s important to add that i really enjoy not only being a contrarian and venting about not liking these things, but i also wanted to make this sort of essay about loneliness experienced in different ways and how it affects your personal relationships. for stan it’s realizing when depression takes over and you’re missing out on everything your loved ones are doing— the world is moving, time is passing and you’ve been in bed the whole time. for everyone else? well, we’ll see.

i started out just drawing these guys, but i felt like making a full story would be more compelling. i love doujinshi and fancomics and i believe that we should always question the quality of the content we consume- and if we don't like it we should just make our own interpretations and stories. that's the beauty of fan content!! reflection and creation, not just mindless consumption. canon is not a guarantee that things are good!! so many things don't even make it to the final cut, the original content gets digested by networks and companies and sponsors and political interests before we even get to see it!! making a comic is rough (and i've spent three years of my life creating this material about characters i don't even own legally), but a start is a start and well. i like this, i've always liked graphic novels and i always wanted to make one. i kind of owed it to myself too.

in conclusion, i just wanted to make something that i found fun and new and i could share with my south park fandom friends after my autism diagnosis (it was rough, but i was medically cringe and thus i felt very justified to be obsessed with my childhood special interest)!! i'm very lucky to be able to complement and elaborate on some of my choices with theory about art and media analysis that i get at uni, and i'm even luckier that so many people have taken a liking to it as well!!

so thank you for enjoying my comic so far <3 and thank you for showing interest in it. thank you so much!!

been struggling with how to start this blog off, since i have so many thoughts on deadpool as a character and everything with him in it...

but what better way to start of a deadpool focused blog then with a bang? my possibly hot takes on how the deadpool movies portrayed deadpool

NOW, don't get me wrong. i LOVE the movies. ryan reynolds is an amazing deadpool, it looks great, the stories are decently solid, overall casting is fantastic, funny, but also sad, and just overall a good experience for all three.

but, with everything good, comes the "bad" (they are more pet peeves then actual bad things).

in the movies, they washed his character down to be more palatable for wider audiences. in the comics, wade is so much more erratic, hyper, depressed, and an INCREDIBLY complex character. hes NOT a good person, but hes not a bad person either. he's the definition of morally grey. he does too much good to be bad, but too much bad to be good. one of his biggest internal struggles is with this fact. adding onto his already existing mental illness struggles.

in the movies, he feels a lot more 2D. he's still a complex character, but for the big screen they watered him down and made him more of a tragic hero. someone who is deep down a good person but makes mistakes and thinks of themselves as a bad person. i understand why they did this, to make him more of the relatable type that people tend to crave out of protags.

but to me, thats not deadpool. thats not wade w. wilson. i love that deadpool is morally grey, not good nor bad. it makes him more interesting, more complex, adds onto his struggle which makes for good stories.

deadpool is so special to me, even if he's not as widely relatable (in the comics at least) of a character as spider-man or anyone else is, i see a lot of myself in him.

i'll post more rants in the future! especially about the movies cuz this is just one of my peeves with them lol

[allastoredeer]

I agree wholeheartedly with your “dear/deer” pet peeve and it reminds of a thing that has been steadily annoying me the more Alastor-centric fic I read and it’s the phrase “deer in headlights”.

It just feels so often shoehorned in and rarely feels like a phrase the matches the moment / tone. It genuinely takes me right out of the fic the moment I see it now, lol. I have to put my phone down for a few minutes and go do something else.

OHHHH! Yes, that's another one!

Believe me, I love bringing out a characters animal features and incorporating it into their very psyche and personality (I literally have an entire 100,000+ word fanfic about Spider-Man having more spider-like attributes than people notice), but this is still Alastor we're talking about here.

"deer in headlights" is a phrase to describe someone who is in a state of paralyzing surprise, fear, or bewilderment. It doesn't mean they're just surprised or caught off guard. It's paralyzing. Like, they can't move. Can't speak. They're unable to even react. All they can do is stare and wait for the impact of the car.

Alastor becoming a "deer in headlights" has to be for a big reason. It needs to be something jarring enough, intimidating enough, for me to believe he is in a paralyzed state like that. So when it happens out of nowhere, for the most mundane reasons, you're right, it does feel very shoehorned in.

I think this is how I feel about any deer-like qualities Alastor is given.

Particularly anything that involves "prey-like" instincts.

I love the concept of Alastor having "prey" instincts, it is so fascinating and so much fun when you also consider how much he also falls into the "predator" side of things too. But I think what takes me out of scenarios when Alastor's "prey instincts" come out, is that, yes, a "prey animals" instinctive reaction to a dangerous situation is to run, but when they're stuck, when they're put in a situation they can't get out of, they fight.

Herbivores ("prey animals") are some of the most dangerous animals on the planet. Typically, they're FAR more aggressive than carnivores, which makes sense considering they're the ones being hunted for food. They WILL attack and they WILL kill when threatened, no hesitation, whereas most carnivores will leave at the first sign of trouble.

I love the idea of Alastor having "FLEE! RUN! SURVIVE!" instincts that he absolutely hates and is constantly suppressing, but only if its coupled with him getting super ultra "MURDER! DIE! TRY ME BITCH!" instincts when he's truly stuck in a dangerous situation he has no way out of. You thought the Radio Demon was dangerous before? Oh no, you just unlocked a whole new level of dangerous and he will not hesitate to kill anyone that gets too close. Rational thought is gone, survival mode has taken over, and he has now become an uncontrollable threat to every person within a block radius.

8, 18 and 27 for Cassian (ask game) 😊

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Less serious ones that annoy me:

Cassian being over-the-top spectacular in bed to the point people would like. gossip about it. this dude is running on empty, hypervigilant and compulsively secretive. he has neither the energy nor the motivation OR the time to become a sex god i'm sorry (admittedly he's also so deeply ace-spec in my head that this interpretation is somewhat confusing or that reason, too)

making Cassian speak Festian/Spanish randomly in really basic sentences or even worse in individual basic words in the middle of Basic/English sentences. I'm sorry but I'm multilingual and idk. we just don't do that, at least not the way a lot of fanfic writers think we do. It comes off as kind of goofy and awkward at best and... weirdly fetishising at worst. (I'm not saying I don't like reading about Festian/Spanish speaking Cassian, because I LOVE that shit. Just the way that a lot of [presumably] monolingual writers do it is a good way to get me to click out of a fic real fast. btw if anyone has examples they think did this really well, I'd love the recs!

The silliest of pet peeves, but I simply refuse to read fic where Jyn calls Cassian "Cassi". I can't explain why but I hate that nickname with a burning passion and it's a hard no from me.

A little more serious, although despise is a strong word:

I feel like this point is exemplified weirdly well in this old poll by @andorerso on which part of the "mansplain manipulate manslaughter etc." meme describes him best. "Manipulate" is scoring WAY too low in the ranking in fandom for my taste. We see Cassian kill a bunch of people because he is in extraordinary circumstances in the movie, and because he is at the end of his fucking rope and that doesn't just make a man like that sad and deplorable. It makes him so dangerous. But overall, spies don't want to kill people. To quote The Americans, because what else would I quote on the topic of spies ever:

“Sometimes I wonder if you understand spies. [In the end,] do you want to put them in jail? That’s how a policeman thinks, not how spies think. We want everyone to stay right where they are, and bleed everything they know out of them. Forever.”

Cassian is a spy as well as an assassin, and that doesn't just - or even mostly! - mean sexy murdering. It means running people. It means getting people to do what he wants, via lying, truth, threats, promises or otherwise - and getting those people to keep doing that for as long as he can get them to, and ideally bring him more people to manipulate. I often miss that aspect of spy work both in how his missions get written, but also in him as a person. He's not just a liar (although I think he is that, too) - he's extremely good at manipulating people and idk, I feel like that either gets a little neglected or it just turns into "dude is super hot and can get stuff from anyone because they want to fuck him". That's such a boring take on manipulation!! Give me more Cassian being scary smart about where people's levers are and how to pull them for maximum effect! (I recognise this is very hard to write unless you are also good at it, but I believe in us!)

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

I could say Jyn and immediately run out of space here lol. I also already talked about how much I like his relationship with Kay, because everything about it says "I'm your CO first and your only friend second" and nothing about it says "you are less valuable to me than an organic" or "you are property".

So... let me say Bodhi. Based almost 100 percent on the way Cassian watches Bodhi's little speech about how Galen said he could make things right if he followed his heart (because that's where I'm currently stuck in my rewatch and my memory is hazy on the Eadu details!). It's so brief but you can see this sudden ache in Cassian here, and it gets me so much. He so wants to believe this, but he's too jaded at this point. But it still gets the cogs moving. I love how this is so clearly a huge part of why he falters moments later on Eadu. There are also some really neat things later on, but I'd really have to rewatch the last half of the movie to make points about that! (I plan to!!! maybe tomorrow, fingers crossed!)

27. What is a color or colors that you think of when you think of this character, be it their canon color(s) or not?

If I had to pick a colour, I guess the blue of his parka comes to mind. But the actual answer is kind of fun, and very sad at the same time: Especially when writing with focus on Cassian's POV... he doesn't have a colour. Actually, I used to do this thing where I'd run colours through the search function of my word doc for my fics to see which I had mentioned a lot - both to see if any themes emerge and also just to check if I was using colour, because my imagination is not very visual. And The World Through a Scope, which was my main fic for eight years, had three colours that repeated with any significance - green and gold, both of which were firmly connected to Jyn, and blue which connected to Mothma (Cassian's therapist in this fic). Cassian was never described in colours, not even from Jyn's POV. I wasn't doing that on purpose, at least not at first, but I think it fits very well, at least for movie-Cassian. I think he'd need time to... regain colour, you know? He's had to purge so much of himself.

But yeah, I guess I could eventually go with dark navy, or a really nice warm, dark brown like a dark wood, polished walnut or something.

Character Ask Meme!

[johaerys-writes]

Kind of a random ask but okay. I noticed you have a lot of mutuals and my question is do you have any tips on how to socialize in the fandom here? Like I have people that I would love to interact with, but Idk how. Idk if this has happened to you

Hi anon!! I totally get where you're coming from. I never really thought too much about it and I don't know if I have a specific method, but here's what I would do, if I were you:

Don't be afraid to talk and reach out to people. It doesn't have to be sliding in their DMs, which I understand can be awkward if you don't know the person, but routinely commenting on their posts, their fanfic, their art, or reblogging their posts with nice and enthusiastic comments is a great way to make friends! I don't always have the time or the spoons to do that unfortunately, but I try to do it as much as I can. I really appreciate all the creators in fandom and I try to show that.

If you're a creator (but even if you aren't) don't be shy about posting your work and maybe tagging people in WIP memes or tag games or something like that. Not everyone responds, but I feel like tagging ppl sometimes opens the door for more communication, and if they tag you back you can just keep the conversation going.

When you see people reblog a prompt list or ask game, send them asks!!! Please, just send them an ask!!! This is actually a pet peeve of mine tbh, people reblogging an ask list or ask game from someone who obviously wants to get asks lol (why else would they rb it) without sending an ask first. I feel like it's basic fandom etiquette, but it's also a really nice gesture even if you don't know the person that well. Showing that you actively care about what someone has to say is the first step into getting to know them, I think, and it's also just very nice to be included.

Getting into a fandom discord or group chat isn't always easy or intuitive, but if you do find yourself in one, don't be afraid to talk!! I may or may not be suffering from "can't shut the hell up disease" LOL but I'll take any opportunity to talk about my faves that I can get 😅 It may feel like you don't have much to say at first, but sometimes just reacting to what others say and being generally nice and positive can be a good first step.

It can be tempting to lurk around and only look at what others say or post, or to read fics without leaving a comment, or to like art but not reblog it, but it does nothing for helping you meet people. Imo this is actually really pervasive and not good for fandom overall. To each their own, of course, I'm not going to tell anyone how they should engage in fandom, but my best and most lasting friendships were made because we started reading each other's fics for example, or complimenting each other's art, or they reached out to me because this or that meme made them think of me, or we tag each other in games and stuff, or we took part in fandom exchanges, etc etc. It might be hard at first if this isn't something that comes naturally to you, but I do think it's worth it if you want to be part of a community. And, like any community, fandom requires give-and-take to thrive.

TLDR: sometimes seeing ppl in an established fandom interact with each other and having friends can be nerve-wracking and you don't know where to start, but honestly fandom is all about engagement. Basically, talk to people! Compliment their art or their fic! Tag them in games! Send them asks! Be kind! That’s it 😊

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

I only meant debatable on *which* ones on folkmore were fictional/not about her, not that she was lying in any way. I didn't want to say which ones I believe to be fictional or real emotions but told through fictional/other people's situations to avoid controversy because I know most people have different opinions 😭 very much don't mean to insinuate anything beyond that.

More than anything I was curious if you thought another DBATC song (a type of song she loves to write but really a feeling she currently has) would be likely just as a fun convo type of things, vibes based only

Sorry if I came across as snippy anon! I totally get what you mean now.

The “fiction”/“diaristic” debate is one of my personal pet peeves, especially after TTPD came out and some corners of the internet were like SEE I NEVER BELIEVED HER THAT FOLKLORE WAS FICTIONAL!!!! When the reality was always that just because the scenarios are fiction doesn’t mean the emotional truths are. So I tend to get defensive about it and use it as a soapbox to remind the masses about what art does lol.

Not sure what you mean about a DBATC song— like, inspired by something else? I mean, sure! It’s anyone’s guess really at this point. I’m sure she derives inspiration from all sorts of things and I’m sure she’s got all kinds of creative tricks up her sleeve in the future. I will say all the “made characters have drama in their town and I was just the narrator” speeches on tour last summer really pinged at me and made me sus that there’s a concept album down the line in that wheelhouse that might be “fictional” inspiration but maybe relatable to her experiences.

[augustwinesworld]

that blurb about Noah was so sweet! He's such a momma's boy and a lot of his mannerisms make him come off as a mini Robby just...happier. You also captured his character so well, his personality is so vivid and his dialogue is really perfect for a nine-year-old (him and his friends are hilarious) Thanks so much for sharing!

Also I peeped on the masterlist an AU where Robby stuck around...what does that look like? Honestly I'm hungry for it because Noah is so cute and I think Robby would really cherish him and their back and forth would be precious (also I want Robby to have a nugget of happiness that shift was hell for him).

I'm guessing what exactly your AU would be about (like what went differently) but I imagine by S1 they are co-parenting (Robby is so unstable, also I feel like she wouldn't really forgive him if he left and she had to track him down to tell him) and Noah hates the idea of anyone else with either of his parents (he just likes his bubble) and the dynamic between Y/N and Robby is kinda like him and Collins but slightly more open/caring/flirty because they are so involved in eachother's life due to Noah and they've had so much time to carve out a relationship. Like I can so picture Robby raising his eyebrows at her when he listens to Noah complain about Logan's dad (that whole bit about the statue of fame hockey mom made me LOL). Also would love to see Robby as a hockey dad (If he's as anxious as Noah I'd imagine a love/hate relationship due to the physical contact-he'd watch every game and has a deal that if Noah gets a headshot he's out). If you want to drop any info about the AU pls feel free *WINK*

Also lol i'm sorry im spitballing the dynamic, this is like the first time I want a fanfic of a fanfic hahaha. Your characters are just so compelling its ur fault (thankyou!)

Omggg thank you darling!!! ngl it was really important for me to channel Robby into Noah somehow. Since he doesn’t physically resemble his dad, I wanted him to feel like Robby’s son in other ways. God this is one of the highest compliments you could’ve given me! One of my pet peeves is reading about kids that don’t act like kids, so this is amazing<3<3

Oooooh yes, I have so many ideas for that au, though it’s probably gonna be a while before I actually start writing it. I 100% feel like robby would be a great dad, he’d just need a little therapy! He’d cherish that kid more than anything, honestly. I think it would bring out this really soft, protective side of him that’s always been there. And Noah, being the sweet little sponge he is, would just soak it up and reflect it right back—I can already see their banter being a highlight, all dry humor and warmth.

My plan would be to have “if only” follow the events of the show, so yes! There would be a lot of coparenting involved, because I agree with you, I don’t think they would’ve stayed together. I mean, they would probably have an unhealthy codependent relationship, probably blurring most boundaries, but still not together, just orbiting each other. I mean, all of the reasons the guy left in “i look in people’s windows” are still there, so he would probably put some distance, say he started therapy to be “the man you both deserve”, and for the reader, I also agree that she would put some distance for their unborn child’s wellbeing.

Also YES—that shift was brutal for him, and I think this AU would give him the chance to rebuild something meaningful, even if it’s messy and nontraditional. Not a “fixed” version of him, but one that’s learning. One that gets to have a piece of joy in the form of this anxious, hilarious little boy who adores him. Just…yeah. He’d finally have something to hold onto.

Plus, I would love to also see him learn how to be a parent and handle a child while working in the medical field. Rn we only know how the reader did, so it would be nice to see him navigate this, but with a pregnant partner and a newborn.

Yes lmao noah hates his parents being with other people, he loves his bubble. I said it in the headcanon, but noah is just a very anxious child, and likes things to be the way they always were. As for the relationship between the reader and robby, I believe that they would be a variation of grumpy/sunshine. Just not as extreme. But yeah, def openly flirty and very back and forth. We’ll se some of it in the next chapters too.

Also, I feel like robby would be glad his kid feels as bad as he does about logan’s dad lol. Even though he would probably have a convo with him to make sure that he’s okay and just being a child about it, on the inside he would be like “yeah, I'm glad my kid thinks this guy is an idiot ‘cause so do i”.

As for Logan’s dad, I think he’s a good guy, a bit of a goofball maybe. As a child of divorced parents, i love their current partners, so it was very important for me to showcase that dynamic. I mean, as a parent, you're always going to put your child first, no matter what. And you’d never let them be around an asshole, so yeah.

Ooooffff hockey dad! robby would be amazing! I feel like (for the reader) having another parent to rely on, she’d let herself be more openly anxious about it, and robby would try and calm her down. I mean, ice hockey is scary with the eyes and the blades, but i guess if you grew up playing it (my hc for robby) would be way less preoccupied about letting your son play. But the second noah get’s hurt i feel like he would jump into the ice no questions asked (can he do that? probably not bu he doesn’t care and neither do I)

Nooooo please don’t apologize, I love answering long asks like this!!! I will probably start writing the au once I'm done with this fic, so there’s a long way to go! But I'm glad you’re enjoying it!!

[mookymilksims]

Hey I'm sorry to be annoying and comment this on here, I'm not sure where to private message you. You don't have to reply to this lol. I just can't private message you on here because it says you only have it allowed for your following. I never really really used tumblr until recently. I loveeee all your work and videos and everything lol. I'm sorry if it seemed that I'm just a lurker! I use ur ui mod and I love your tumblr.

Hi, I actually was not aware that my settings were that I wouldn't have told you to dm me if that were the case so myb for that, you're not being annoying you are just reaching out and this is your only way.

For anyone else, you can always just message me on discord as well, I see message requests and I'm way more active on discord so if you do have a question and can't reach me on tumblr for w/e reason just send me a message there.

You don't even need to interact with me on tumblr at this point, I moved all of my work over to patreon. I just use my tumblr to post gameplay screens which is what I originally wanted it to be anyway.

Tbh I have blocked like now 60+ on patreon most were people who lurked on my tumblr and there burner accounts, I only really keep the people I already regularly interact with who I knew always appreciated my work.

I didn't explicitly state it but if you download something from me on patreon I would like any and all feedback because I can fix anything I didn't catch in my own playtesting or take requests, but most ppl in this space just silently hoard my content and I never hear from them. There is no scenario where that isn't weird to me so I just say it is my pet peeve. Even a heart goes a long way for someone putting stuff out there. And I think it is reasonable.

I could have kept everything to just my discord server but I decided to share, there are people out there who appreciate what you do and they should not be punished because they don't have a discord, it was just my thought process.

But I don't know who you are, I remember people who support me, I did not know you even used my UI mod, and I think that is the problem. I don't have issues that you are not active on tumblr, but it does make me uncomfortable to know someone would just be sitting on my patreon silently waiting for the next upload.

I hope you can understand, I try to make my feelings very clear, I can unblock you on patreon but after awhile when I sort through the list of new members and you are still silent I will likely block you again. It won't even be personal I'm just optimizing my online space.

volume vii thoughts

as per usual I have complaints about the missed opportunities of casa

first things first, the casa boys' sprites looked bad to me when I saw that post fusebox made but after playing for like a minute, I was like nah actually they're quite fine. However, prettiest sprites they're competing with are Jin, Claudia, Oakley, Tyler, and Bea so the competition is rough. Also idk something is throwing me off with Shawn and especially Kyle's face shapes.

I think last post I made I said Hari at least got more of a chance than Tyler, but scratch that actually, it feels like they got the same chance because suddenly we're in casa and hardly any mention of him, even though he and my MC have kissed a few times already and she hasn't really rejected him fully over Jin yet? Don't know if anyone's in the boat of going all in with Hari but I'm curious what the gameplay is like for them.

So Emel has randomly decided to be annoyed at Oakley again (I'll replay for you next time Oakley 🥺) and it's clearly because the routes are merged now, which is such a shame because I do think Emel and Oakley could've worked it out and become a fun couple to watch on the real show (probably a boring one though that the audience would dump until after the show ended that their real personalities come out on social media and the public like them individually or at least understand why they were together so long). And I know it's not the most in character thing but I so appreciate it not being a complete 180 for the sake of plot because I'm trying to imagine this with all the couples given what I know about them from my playthrough and Emel/Oakley always have problems because she's uptight and wants more dramatics in their romance and he's chill so any little thing he ends up doing sets her off, sure, I can buy that Emel is a little delusional. Then Luna/Jin would have problems because Luna is less extroverted than Jin, serious, and irritable (which honestly, relatable) and so Jin does things for a laugh and she doesn't get it. So maybe he didn't wink at Bea or did it as a joke because he's being cheeky and she takes it as flirting and starts an argument. And from my playthrough, Sophie and Jack always feel like they're looking for an argument so that checks out too. It's not perfect, but I can feasibly see how one could justify this plot point.

absolutely living for flirting with Claudia in casa

pet peeve subjective raunchy races is back 😠 at least a couple of them are better, like they did have oldest boy in there at least. everything else though, I don't care that much to listen to them argue about who's the most well traveled or stylish.

I love Bea's personality, she's so fun. And tbh, I'm kind of liking her and Liam together. He's forward and she's into it, and it seems like he can keep up with her for now so I'm happy with that couple and I hope it doesn't turn to shit (it probably will).

also pay to win when losers are gonna throw a part anyway ok sure 🙄 I think I've mentioned this before but like personally I think if they're gonna do gem scenes, there has to be a logical ways out of it rather than just MC being like "nah I don't feel like it" and then they lose?? at least for other gem scenes it's like "tell Sophie off 10 gems" or "stay silent" like sure that's fine I guess.

anyway the chats with the boys were actually all pretty fun and short. I, as per usual, have immediately gravitated towards the foodie/chef character but I'll admit I see what y'all are saying about Kyle. Tbh even Max isn't too bad but I'm cautious bc I'm getting Eddie vibes (it's the blond and the gossip lol). And I like Liam, he's like a less cartoonishly silly Hamish (so he reminds me of Felix).

I really like the free party wear dress and this is the second volume in a row MC has accidentally matched with a boy not her partner lol

Bea first mentioning she was bi but not flirting, I just thought maybe they were setting her up to partner with Claudia/Theo depending on who you couple up with/if you're on one of their routes. But then oh the tension at the party when she's staring at MC saying she wants to turn heads and Claudia getting nervous??? loving that.

I don't know what it's like for the other boys but it seems like Shawn and Kyle are drama averse, which I think could be an interesting plot point for later coming back from casa of course, but I also don't know if I believe in fusebox's ability to incorporate that in the story. (once again, the day I write a fic and learn to code its all over for you fusebox)

I didn't pay for the Bea talking about Jin scene but I saw yall talk about Sienna and like I doubt it's going anywhere if it's behind a paywall? it's like the Brad and Christy stuff tbh like unless a bunch of dumped islanders are coming back at the end, I'm ignoring it.

anyway it truly is missing Jin hours again 😔

AHHH Thank you!!!!! I've been so excited all day to get home and hae time to answer these!!

Gonna answer under the cut because I'm sure this will be long lol 💖💖💖

💕Solo/Sami headcanons

I feel like a LOT of my headcanons on Solo and Sami come from one specific fic on AO3- The Solo Man

I love Solo as being selectively mute and/or very shy. I haven't really gotten to explore this with Solo in my fics very much, but I'm really looking forward to doing so.

I do feel like Solo has such a soft spot for Sami (I mean I have eyes) Sami was a real source of kindness for him when he really didn't have that from anyone.

💕CM Punk/Drew McIntyre headcanons

oh noooo my brainrot lol

They're TOXIC as fuck, they bring out the worst in each other. I can't find anything sweet or soft in them, it's obsession, it's raw, it's violent. Possessive and Obsessive.

And they fuck nasty obviously. I tend to prefer Bottom Drew, something so fun about subverting their size difference but I'll eat up anything.

💕Samijey headcanons

Ahhhh I just love them- I feel like a lot of my headcanons POP out in my fics. I feel like Jey Uso is an acts of service guy. I think he does anything and everything to make sure that Sami feels taken care of. This shows up really early on in Devil in the Details and uhhh fun fact I wrote the first part of that fic before I knew that Sami was vegan, hence why there are SO many references to Jey cooking chicken for Sami. It was too integral to how I was having Jey show his affection to take it out, so for that one fic Sami is just no pork not vegan lol

Sami talks ALL the time, and Jey pretends to be annoyed but the constant stream of consciousness is actually so comforting to him. He very rarely has to worry about what Sami is thinking or feeling because he will just tell him.

Jey cut those crop tops so Sami would look at him.

From You're My Keeper (Pull Me Deeper):

“You really like my waist, huh?” he murmured. 

As if to prove his point, Sami sank his teeth into the soft flesh under his bellybutton. “Can’t stop looking at it,” Sami whispered into his skin. “So fucking perfect. Those stupid crop tops are fucking killing me, dude.”

“Really? Hm, I thought so.”

Sami’s head shot up. “You knew?”

Jey blushed. “I guess, I kinda knew you were like… Looking. I guess I thought… Nevermind, this is fucking embarrassing.” He clapped his hands over his face. 

“You thought what?” He felt Sami tugging at his fingers, and Jey reluctantly let his hands get pulled away. Sami had the worst look on his face, smug and bemused. Didn’t he know this was absolute torture?

“I don’t know, I thought maybe if I cut the shirts shorter, then like… You know… You’d look at me more,” Jey pushed out through clenched teeth. Scratch that, this was the worst look. Sami positively beamed, fondness radiating out from him in shameless sunshine rays. If he was a dog, he’d surely be wagging his tail like a maniac. Jey tried not to linger on that thought too long.

“Jesus you are so fucking cute,” Sami wheezed, burying his face into Jey’s chest.

Literally one of my favorite fics ever- I reread it all the damn time. (If the author of this fic is on here?? let me know pls & I'll tag you💖)

And I do think that Sami/Jey switch up who tops and bottoms, but I'm always here for bottom!Jey, sweet pillow princess.

💕Ambreigns headcanons

OO this is a good one- I typically go for Ambrolleigns (bc they all have two hands) or Ambrollins because of my donut sister @elementaldoughnut12 I feel like where Dean and Seth have that very turbulent high passion love, Dean and Roman have a level of like rock solid devotion?? Someone that they can always rely on, coming even closer together after everything fell apart with Seth.

Even more than Seth's betrayal, Dean leaving spurred on the creation of the Tribal Chief. Roman, alone and brokenhearted, left by the man who he thought would never leave him, turns himself into something cold and cruel. Makes himself monstrous, surrounds himself by a cheap copy of what they had.

He wants Dean back, wants it more than anything, but some part of him is terrified that Dean will reject him, will detest what he has become.

💕Fuck, Marry, Kill

FMK: Roman, Seth, Mox

Fuck: Roman (I'm gonna need that tongue baby good lord)

Marry: Mox 100%, I'm gonna need to hit that multiple times, and also I feel like our personalities are really complimentary

Kill: RIP I'm so sorry Seth, please keep serving even in Death

FMK: Solo, Sami, Jey

Fuck: Solo- and he needs to bring the gloves okay? 🥵

Marry: Jey 🩵

Kill: Sami :( I hate to kill my hubby's hubby though

FMK: Punk, Drew, Cody

Fuck: Cody (he's hot, IDK that I'd wanna deal with him all the time)

Marry: CM Punk.... listenn

Kill: Drew- would need to take him out to marry Punk anyway

FMK: Jade, Naomi, Bianca

Fuck: JADE- HELLO?? PLEASE???

Marry: Naomi- Jimmy can come too

Kill: Bianca

FMK: Rhea, Liv, Becky

Fuck: Liv

Marry: Please, please Mami, I'm-PLEASE?

Kill: Becky, RIP girlie

💕Questions, questions, questions:

- What’s an accomplishment/ thing in your life you’re very proud of?

90k words posted on AO3 as of today has me feeling really good. I challenged myself at the beginning of the year to get to 100k by the end of 2024, but even where I'm at now... a year ago I would have laughed at you if you told me that. I've been writing in spits and spurts my whole life, but I really lacked confidence to do anything with my fanworks. I usually didn't even finish them. Before this last year, the most I had written was 2 NaNoWriMo attempts, both sat at around 25-30k and were never completed. And now with the all the support I've gotten here and on AO3, I've had the most creative period in my life. It makes me tear up thinking about it honestly.

- Name three things you love about yourself?

My passion, my sense of humor, and my tits lol

- What makes you furious in fandom spaces (your fandom pet peeves so to say)?

The only pet peeve I really have is like being rude and giving people shit for what they like and don't like?? Like I've been around since the days of Don't Like, Don't Read. If you don't like something, it's not for you, it costs zero dollars to shut the fuck up.

- Who was your first celebrity crush? Who’s your latest?

Oh gosh, so many. I mean the first would definitely be Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon 💖💖 Daniel Radcliffe when I got a little older and realized I wasn't going to be able to marry a cartoon. Right now? I mean all of those hot Samoans first of all. Rhea Ripley, obv. Moxley.

- Who do you adore on this website (aka tumblr crushes)?

EVERYONE lol this list is gonna be so long @feelschicken who has been my IRL bestie for like 20+ years at this point, who allowed me to drag her into Wrestling via several hour long conversations in the car where I would literally yell about the Bloodline

@elementaldoughnut12 my donut sister who has inspired so many of my fics and cheered me on through so much of this last year. Love you so much punkin 🥰

@harmshake my beloved tumblr gf, a constant source of positivity in my life 💖 Not to mention she writes the HOTTEST fics omg

@southerngirl41 who's been on the tag squad since the BEGINNING and I appreciate her comments so much

@jeysbvck Shan 💙 because we're both unhinged and feral for Jey- she just gets me

@imabillyami of course you too obviously- you are so sweet and not to mention your fics are amazing

@rollinsland who keeps my dash FULL of content of all my faves, and is so so sweet

@shanie-the-komania-toyaddict my Zowens connection, and another amazing sweet person

@motherknuckers I think we share a braincell for real

@samijey because like... A Way With Words is THE Sami/Jey fic, not to mention her amazing gif skills 😍

@thlayli-ra who definitely gave me the Punkintyre brainrot

@who-do-you-want-to-be MY SWEET KOALA FRIEND

@jeyuwuso WHOSE FIC I LINKED EARLIER, literally love all their work!!!

@taydaq her ART, especially Samijey 🥹

I know I'm missing people, I could be at this all night: @crxssjae @hypno-bear-tini @rosiel77 @mzv11 @theninthwonder @dontletme--cavein @codyswhitebelt @jobikinn if I missed others I'm so sorry 😭 and if tumblr messes up these tags I'll scream

- What do you find attractive in a person (physically and personality wise)?

Humor, they gotta be funny. They gotta make me laugh or we're not gonna work. We gotta be silly goosing.

- Favorite story you ever wrote?

Ours is still my favorite

- Favorite story someone else wrote?

oooo yay it's rec time!!! Already called out a few but here's some more:

Green - my favorite Candy fic

Losers and Loss - a Zowens fic that melted my brain into absolute goo I said The Solo Man already but also Pretty which spurred on my love of bottom!jey and Jey in pretty lingerie

Sticks & Stones and also Green-Eyed Monster - both by the Zesty Bean, all of their works are great but those are my favorites

Silver Knight and Little Clover - my donut sister knows how to make a rarepair that I'll go nuts for

And I could not forget I've got you to lose ... of COURSE 💕 maybe gimme a heads up before you post that last chapter so I can get all my favorite snacks and be prepared.

- Your current favorite song?

Guilty as Sin? - Taylor Swift

- One ingredient/ dish you love and one you despise?

Oo good question- I'm a big fries and ranch girlie (the midwest in me popping out) and for despise??? mmm it's gonna be pickles, they're gross to me.

whew.... that took a while but it was so fun honestly 😅

[phantomoftheorpheum]

I don't love the Noa cheating thing, but I guess within the plot it kinda makes sense with her having more in common with Jen than she does with Shawn. Like Jen understands what she's dealing with more than Shawn could (even if he wanted to) simply because she's experienced it with her mom. Definitely wondering if it's going to play into her test somehow. The truth coming out or having to choose between the two in a way

This got kind of lengthy (lol, no one has been surprised less), so I've placed most of it under the cut. Also to help avoid detailed spoilers for people who are trying to do so.

I agree that the plot isn't necessarily a bad one for the story (like I've mentioned a million times that I don't like love triangles or infidelity plots, but they can be executed well, and depending on how this situation turns out, I'm still open to being okay with the plot line in theory), just one that makes me feel highly critical of the characters involved. And personally a bit sad, as Noa was my favorite in season 1 and I can't currently honestly say that in season 2.

I can definitely see why Jen (or even just the situation surrounding Jen) is more exciting & appealing to Noa, particularly at this time. She's a teenager who has been in a fairly steady long term (by teenage standards) relationship with a stable, but possibly slightly boring, guy. Noa formed a connection with Jen when she was at a low point (taking the fall for her mom), and the kind of bond that you can create when you're spending so much time with someone outside of your normal context can be intense. And Jen is a secret (at least we have not seen Noa tell anyone else about their romantic connection), which is thrill seeking and a little "dangerous," without (usually) actually being that dangerous. Jen is mysterious. There's a lot Noa doesn't know about her (illustrated clearly by her having no concept of Jen's father or her relationship with him prior to this episode). And I do agree that some of the closeness Noa feels to Jen has to do with their commonalities and relationships with their moms. Jen gets the stigma of having been to juvie. Jen gets what it's like to live with a mother who is an addict. Jen understands what it means to have to struggle to pay bills and be the "adult" in her household when she shouldn't have to be.

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure Jen is actually being honest about her backstory/home life at all. I certainly have some suspicions about that. It could all be true, or it also could be largely fabricated (or selectively true) in order to bond with Noa. Hard to say at this point. The reason that I doubt Jen's honesty (when I am currently giving the benefit of the doubt to Christian and Johnny) is because we've seen her lie multiple times, casually, on screen. If Christian or Johnny are also doing that, we don't know it yet. Jen's family (or her possible lies about her family) have become plot relevant with Noa borrowing money to bail Jen out for stealing from her father, so that definitely makes me question how Jen and her family (or her lies) might be important in the following episodes.

So, all that being said, while I can understand why Noa is interested in Jen (even though I would have personally much preferred a "Shawn and Noa broke up between seasons and then this girl she knows from juvie shows up at summer school" plot, just due to my own pet peeves and the reinforcement of negative stereotypes around bisexuality) the way in which she's gone about conducting herself is just really pretty shit. It's okay to fall out of love with someone. It's okay to end a relationship, not because things were bad, but because it was no longer fulfilling. It's okay to realize that you feel more attracted to and connected to someone else, and therefore it's time to reevaluate and possibly end your relationship. These things happen all the time. People still get hurt, but it's not because anyone is a villain. The problem is... Noa isn't doing any of that?

The only dissatisfaction we have seen of her relationship with Shawn this season is that he didn't go to Mouse's birthday. She also doesn't like/get along with his mom, but it's not as if Shawn was upset with her over this, he recognized and understood this issue, and even pushed back against his mother when he witnessed it in person. Noa has continued engaging in a physical/sexual relationship with Shawn (generally prompted by her), as well as a romantic one, while lying to him about her past and present relationship with Jen. She has not only shamelessly introduced him to the person she's cheating on him with, but had the audacity to play into Shawn's affection/understanding of how hard things have been with Noa's mom in order to get him to pay for Jen's bail. Two thousand dollars is a lot of money, and the fact that she could sit there, ask for that, play into how Jen is dealing with the same stuff Noa has, lie to him about why Jen was arrested in the first place, fail to mention that it was Noa's plan to steal from Jen's father, and then immediately run off to kiss Jen behind his back is... Well, it's something.

Up until 2x04, I simply felt bad for Shawn, because he (that we currently know of) hasn't done anything to deserve this, but I also thought Noa was at least a little conflicted about this situation. Her behavior in 2x04 showed absolutely no regret/remorse for her actions, which reflects absolutely terribly on her character. I was expecting at least a "I don't know if I can do this," or something after the kiss with Jen, where we see her immediately feel guilty, but nope. Just all giggles while cheating with the girl your boyfriend just spent 2k on helping out. Like forget about Shawn as person/character for a second, this is about Noa and who she is, what kind of integrity she has, and it is revealing a really heartless side to her. I hope the show has plans to try to build her back up in the future.

All that being said, (aside from the whole "bisexuals are cheaters" stereotype that is being reinforced) I think the storyline could be really interesting. Will Noa feel bad about her actions next episode when she's had a little time to reflect, or no? Is Jen being honest? Does Shawn already know? I actually think (if this is genuinely plot relevant and not just side romance drama) this whole situation could be a legitimately good use of the love triangle/infidelity plot (even though those tropes are generally not my favorite). It definitely feels like Noa has a big storm coming, and I can't say she hasn't earned it. I'm very curious to see what her test is, and how the Jen & Shawn situation will play into it. Is she going to have to make some sort of decision, like you said?

Right now, on a personal level, I do not ship any of these three with each other. I'm very pro "go sit in a corner and think about what you've done" for them atm. And if Shawn is innocent, I hope he gets a cathartic moment by the end of the season. So... that's where I'm at with it. I get it, I can see ways in which it may work for the plot, it makes me very upset with Noa as a character.

A RANT:

In defense of rise changing their design and personalities

Inspired by viviwithav's video on Youtube ♥️

What's a quick way to make sure your version of a franchise gets hate? Change something

Jk, but let's be real, a lot of people didn't even give rise a chance because it wasn't loyal to what a lot of people are used to.

Leo is not the leader, Raph is not a yelling angry guy, Don is not a nerd and mikey isn't the dumb dorky dude anymore. And they're different turtles!? How dare they!

Well nobody asked so i'm here to defend everything because i'm bored!

Why am i insisting? They're literally still what we know them to be

1- Leo's still the leader

I have a full on rant about it already but yeah, trust me, Leo is still leader material, you just have to trust him and let it cook a bit. We're able to join him on his journey to overcome his self-doubt and accept that he can't do everything on his own and trust those he loves around him.

2- Trust me, Raph is still angry

But this version of him focuses more on giving him a healthy oultlet. One of my biggest pet peeve's with most of Raph's versions, is that they portray his anger as something that he needs to learn to hide and contain or else he will never be nothing more than a problem to team (I'M GENERALIZING A LOT, I DON'T ACTUALLY THINK THIS ABOUT RAPH, I LOVE HIM IN EVERY UNIVERSE).

I think there are a lot of ways to express and portray anger. I've struggled with stress induced-anger my whole life and i think rise Raph is a good example on how your anxieties and worry can make you show a bad side of yourself sometimes. Honestly, i think a lot of Raph's versions have this same problem: he cares for his family so much and is constantly afraid something bad will happen to them, he constantly compares himself to the team and is afraid they don't respect him. He desperately wants his brothers to take their training seriously so they can be ready when danger strikes. EVERY RAPH HAS THESE ISSUES (kind of?) but rise is more vocal about it.

This Raph has channeled his stress and anger towards his position as the leader. He doesn't fight with leo because he wants to be the leader, he fights with leo because he wants to make him understand how much he needs his family to be safe, he's the leader because needs to make sure his brothers are safe. He still yells because he wants his brothers to take training seriously, he just is more of a softie about it because he has learned to take out his anger issues towards the bag guys that threaten his family.

3- Don is still a nerd

Trust me, he's still dorky, the only problem is that this version of him is not willing to be stepped over and ignored. He's brilliant and he knows it, he just wants his family to recognize his talent, to understand him and tell him how much they value him.

This is something we've seen with 2012 donnie before too, they're sarcastic and snap back when someone disrespects him. They're brilliant and won't let anyone make them feel like less

4-Mikey was never "the dumb one"

I mean- sure! He gets babyfied a lot and is the one to receive the cowabunga surferboy attitude but he's always been so much more! Not because you act less seriously does that mean you don't take it as such. You can be the life of the party and wreck bullie's shit! Have y'all not seen the last ronin? lol he is talented and as great a ninja as his brothers

5- and lastly, the new designs

.....Y'ALL 4 REAL?! THEY'RE SO COOL I MEAN

Sure the turtles might have started with their signature likeness but they've changed so much already.

They started as black and white caricatures, four identical brothers with red bandannas, then got color coded and have even been tweaked here and there across the years! Time changes and art evolves, of course the turtles will eventually change in a way that represents more properly their personalities and 2012, rise and mutant mayhem have done such a great job at it

Do you look the same as when you were born? What about when you were a kid? No! Let art grow with us, let stories be changed to represent their own world

Besides, let's be real, the being different turtles thing it's so cool that i'm surprised it wasn't thought about before. It's also perfect match to their personalities!

Wanna make a character stand out and show his cool persona off? WHAT'S BETTER THAN A RED EARED SLIDER KING, leo's red marks go so amazingly well with his blue color??? Besides as said here:

Red-eared sliders are one of the most popular of all aquatic turtle species. They tend to be friendlier and more sociable than some of their relatives, they're pretty active, and they're widely available.

Leo completely meets the expectations of hi species personality

Why is donnie a soft shell turtle? WHO CARES, HE BUILD HIMSELF AN AUTOMATIZED SHELL OMG HE'S SO SMART? Jk/ but i do find it oddly fitting his species are known for being aggresive due to their sensitivity

Need to properly represent a soft but intimidating character? A snapping turtle it's amazing for Raph! Due to popular belief; besides their fiery personality, snapping turtles are known to be timid. But oh boy, they're completely defensive and can definately attack when threatened, much like our big boy's personality

Why is mikey a box turtle? Well, how to better represent his youthful friendly attitude than with a species that's literally known to be bold, adventurous and friendly! Also, it only gets better when you consider their outgoing personality is cutely tied to their response to danger (cue their ability to hide completely inside their shell) which kind of reminds us that in this version, mikey is canonically the youngest.

I have so much tmnt rants, someone help, my head is spinning-

[dvilsdesire-a]

GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag others that you'd like to get to know a little bit better!

ROLEPLAYER NAME: Owl or Sam, I go by both.

ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS: He/him.

MUSE NAME: Haarlep

PREFERRED COMMUNICATION: Discord if we've had a few interactions, I don't mind IM's but we all know what tumblr is like when it comes to IM's here. IM's is great for when I'm not at home tho, since I literally only use discord while I'm on my PC.

EXPERIENCE: I'm old, I've got a lot of experience, been doing it for well over a decade, from MSN times through to email and forums back in the day, or devART notes.

PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: I like making relationships and seeing those muses grow from said relationships (or not lol). I want connections, though. I don't want to feel like it's a chore to write with someone. I want to have fun. I like a good mix between dark, nitty gritty and absolutely fluffy and cute, soooo.

PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS:

Please for the love of god read my rules. I don't expect anyone (including myself) to remember everyone's rules, we all write with a multitude of people, but when it's blatantly obvious that you've not even glanced over my rules, it's not going to make me want to interact with you. (:

Blog policing. Seriously, if you don't like something, then don't indulge in it? It's that fucking simple. Let people write villains, let people write problematic characters that are morally grey or whatever else. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have the right to abuse those that do. Writing evil characters doesn't make you a bad person. Have you ever actually picked up a book and read it? This just boggles my mind... Why do you think you can do this? And sadly enough, this has legitimately pushed fantastic people and Rpers away from the hobby they once loved.

One liners. I have a really difficult time... NOT writing paras. And that's a me thing. If you write one liners and that suits you, then by all means, please continue! But it does mean we're simply not compatible. Unless it's little dash commentary shenanigans, I can't stand one liners.

PLOTS OR MEMES: Both. I think memes are a REALLY good way to break the ice, especially when if you're anything like me, a person who comes home from work and is thoroughly exhausted that my brain can't possible think of anything super heavy when it comes to plot. But in saying that, I do love getting to plot with my mutuals and chatting and building character development through this. So both are good. :)

LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: 99% of the time long. Like I stated previously, it's HARD for me to write short responses, and I like having something I can work off. Also... the inner monologue gets away from me at times :'D I only like short if it's silly dash commentary or maybe just a simple ask meme or something that isn't intended to be plotted out into a thread.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: A day off X'D Honestly, I'm MUCH more energetic and a better writer when it's early morning. Once it hits noon, I'm like a potato sack.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: Haarlep? Lol, no. Not at all. He's charming and evil and swanky and sexy (and quite literally a sex addict). I'm literally a metal head nerd that likes my own solitude and just listens to music and does art and plays games. I'm also very asexual. I'm socially awkward af (: Haarlep is ALL charm. The only thing I could say is MAYBE... maybe my Libra charm, but... I'm so tired these days that that hardly shines through lol. I am just a sleepy hoot.

Tagged by: Stole it. Tagging: Yooouuuu

[shiiikigami]

get to know the author

name : ammonia

pronouns :  they/them

preference of communication : discord

most active muse : toge inumaki at all times, he just comes to me the most naturally, then megumi fushiguro. the rest of the muses come and go in waves.

experience / how many years : oh i go way back to 2001 over msn groups, of all things. i've been all over the blog sites, message boards, messenger services. i'm surprised tumblr outlasted all the others that came and went.

best experience : oh i don't know. i've had a lot of nice memories over the years but honestly where i am now is probably the most relaxed and content i've been with an rpc in a very long time.

rp pet peeves : just drama around rp i guess. not everyone is going to get along, but i just feel like it's tiring to see people stirring up issues with others over things over a hobby. i'm just here to write things that interest me, i don't really care about anything else?

fluff, angst, or smut : i love a healthy balance of fluff and angst. not all threads have to be both, but i like to write a bit of both equally across threads. i like a fair bit of humor too! as for smut, no thanks.

plots or memes : memes are just easier for me these days. i am constantly exhausted mentally, and i improvise off of memes better than i plot unless i just had a specific idea i'm reaching out with. i don't even have a wishlist right now because i haven't thought of stuff.

long or short replies : i prefer shorter replies. the flow is easier when it's 1-2 paragraphs max. yet sometimes the scene has so much that i want to get out in one turn, to explain or to add more context, that it does get to be a novel on my side. i never expect people to match it, it just happens in the moment and my next reply might only be one paragraph honestly.

time to write : lately sporadic. i haven't carved out much time to write and the time i do have to kill i end up not feeling like writing much. lately i've been tinkering with the blog and making it more what i feel it should look/feel like instead of writing, but once this little project is done i'll be more consistent again.

are you like your muses : i don't really choose muses in the sense that they choose me. i pick up characters that have things i can understand and relate to. maybe not their entire personality or history, but if there's a piece or two of them that i feel i can resonate with, the rest comes so easy. sometimes it's nice, and sometimes it's the character's worst trait, so it's a mixed bag. and no i will not be disclosing what those things are lol so don't ask.

hi.

this is aelin. galathynius.

from the xmas fair. last week, at the weekend. and you overheard me, and i bumped into you?

Hi.

This is Rowan.

From the Christmas Fair. And I knew it was you, you’re literally the only person I’ve given my number to in the last year. Plus, I don’t know many Aelins. No need for awkward introductions—a pet peeve of mine.

well, good to know you gave me the right number, lol. was kinda worrying abt it. couldn’t believe you’d actually wanna get to know someone who was plotting an entire book to have an excuse to go up to you.

figured you might like brave girls, or some shit.

Not to be crude, but I do believe that openly, and really quite loudly, discussing the frequency and quality of dick you and your friend were getting was quite brave. As was discussing the size of my dick, and my possible friend’s dick sizes.

I don’t know anyone else who’s quite brave enough to do such a thing.

You have that going for yourself.

what i’m hearing is that you do like brave girls.

what does ‘at least you’ve got that going for yourself’ mean? i’ve got tons going for me.

No. I like girls with blonde hair, the most unique eyes I’ve ever had the pleasure of staring into, who come up to my chin. And for the record, you’ve got everything going for yourself. You are singlehandedly just everything.

Don’t go fishing for compliments. I know that you know that you’re fucking gorgeous. Don’t play games with me—I won’t play nice, nor fair.

i’ve come to realise you won't play nice or fair.

i’ve now learnt my lesson, teach.

and thank you for the compliments.

i get off on them.

If I’m going to be your teacher, and I’m going to have to teach you your lesson, you will refer to me as ‘sir’. That is, if you’re game?

I could have sworn it was big men, big hands, and big dicks you got off on. Not compliments. correct me if wrong of course.

maybe you will have to teach me my lesson. sir.

and of fucking course i’m game, didn’t you overhear me saying that i was a spoilt rich girl with a secretly traumatic past. if that means anything, sir, it means i’ve been having teacher x student fantasies since i was fifteen. sir.

i get off on all sorts of things—part of being a spoilt rich girl with a secretly traumatic past. we always have the craziest kinks. compliments and praise because my parents neglected me. similarly, some sort of teacher fetish. big men, big hands, big dicks—because we feel like they can protect us, keep us safe, complete us, which has previously never been felt by us before.

and so many more—you’ve barely scratched the surface, sir.

I can hear your evil laughter, Aelin, and I’ve never heard you laugh.

I’m always up for being your senior-year English teacher, call me Mr Whitethorn.

And trust me, I look forward to diving into the very depths of your sexual deviancy.

mr whitethorn. i like it.

you would’ve been a hit at my high school—so many spoilt rich girls with secretly traumatic pasts.

and, sir, it makes me wet when you use phrases like ‘sexual deviancy’

It gets me fucking rock hard when you call me Sir, or Mr Whitethorn. you have no idea how so.

in that case…

mr whitethorn? what’s today’s lesson on?

I think apt place to begin your education, would be with one’s own pleasure. In my experience, people put so much pressure on the idea of perfection when it comes to sex, and such acts between two people. So much so that the pleasure is slowly stripped away, and replaced with worries that won’t stop, creating a wall between yourself, and your pleasure.

Today, I’m going to focus our lesson on touch yourself, Aelin.

and what are you going to teach me, that i don’t already know? I’m in my twenties, I’ve gone to college, and i’ve been coming by my own fingers since i was fifteen. (clearly there is a correlation between teachers and me coming)

plus, and I mean this with the utmost respect, what are you—a man—going to me—a woman—about my body—a woman’s body—mr whitethorn.

If you want to doubt me, go right ahead, but know Miss Galathynius, it’s not what I can teach you, it’s what I can do to you.

I recall my language making you wet, I can’t teach you that. I can do it to you though, I can make you wet when I use long, sophisticated words, confuse you a little. Make you feel both insecure, and so very, very safe. I can manipulate your body simply with typed words.

You’d do well to remember that.

sir?

mr whitethorn?

excuse me, i’m texting you. where the fuck are you? are you fucking kidding me, right now?

Are you ready to apologise, Miss Galathynius?

for fucking what? get real.

For making assumptions about me. You seem to be under the impression that you can get away with being rude to me. You can’t, I’m unlike any teacher you’ve encountered before.

And you ‘get real’, Miss Galathynius. You can try and convince yourself that you aren’t soaking through your panties, you’re so turned on. But I know you are. You can tell yourself you aren’t going to touch yourself when you set down your phone. But I know you are.

I’ll make a deal with you, Miss Galathynius, if you message me how wet you are, and whether or not your fingers are too, I’ll continue the lesson. We’ll forget all about the fact that you swore at me no less, and that you were insolent and bratty, and you can come as many times as want during this text chain, but not afterwards.

You understand?

yes, sir.

my panties are so wet, my skirt is too.

and my fingers are fucking coated.

Take your panties off.

In fact, Miss Galathynius, get naked. Lock the door. Get comfortable. Tell me, ‘yes, Sir’ when you’re done.

yes, sir.

Put your fingers—the wet ones, before you ask—in your mouth. Fucking suck on them.

Have you got your fingers in your mouth, can you taste yourself? Fucking wish I could taste you.

yes.

what about you, sir?

You can bet your life on the fact that I’m touching myself.

That got you hotter, wetter. More desperate. Want me there, don’t you? I want you here.

im close. keep telling me what ur gonna do

You want to know what I’d do to you if I had you in my bed? I’d strip you, peel away every scrap of clothing you had on, until I could see every inch of your skin, until I can mark out every blemish with bite marks.

I’d bite your nipples, soothe them with my tongue, and then I’d bite them harder. Harder until you’re screaming, and I won’t know if it’s in pain or pleasure. Maybe I’d make them bleed. All depends on whether or not you were a good girl.

It would have got you wet, you’d be dripping all over my sheets. Your cunt would be throbbing it’d be so desperate for me. I’d treat it to a lick, lave my tongue over your clit, edging you towards your orgasm. When you’re right there I’d slide a finger in, tease you from the inside, and give you the best orgasm of your life.

And then I’d do it all over again.

holy fuck. oh fuck, i just came so hard.

fucking what?

i literally messaged you to ask if you wanted to grab a hot chocolate or something or see if you were available for a date or something. pre-dorian’s party.

And instead, you got this, huh? Regretting it, yet?

that was arguably the best orgasm i’ve ever had—and we’re in different postcodes. so, no. and i don’t think i’ll ever regret this.

And I’d love to grab a drink with you.
