does anyone wanna be on taglist for this gojo x reader series? 🧚‍♀️✨

title. if the world was ending

synopsis. gojo satoru is your long lost love, the one that got away, that heartbreak that time could never heal, and you haven’t spoken to him in years. but when an asteroid the size of the empire state building is set to crash into the earth in three days, and effectively wipe out all life as we know it, then surely some promises of no contact can be broken, right?

warnings/tags. heavy angst, smut, fluff, dystopian au, second chance romance, end of the world romance; mentions of pregnancy & abortion, violence, blood, alcohol, smoking, drugs, cannibalism, suicide, murder, starvation, corruption, basically all the crazy shit that goes down across the globe when eight billion people realize they’re all going to die.

parts. there will be a total of four parts! i anticipate 50k words

teaser. here’s a little teaser!! as always i can never choose which part to tease but i suppose this kinda gives a gist:

note. for my followers that read my other series, i promise that this one will be like four parts max lol it’s just it was actually supposed to be a oneshot but when i finished writing the first part was alr 10k+ so🧍🏻‍♀️i figured i’d make it like a sort of limited series?? mini series?? but fret not lol i will still continue to update kickoff & ihm in the midst :”)

comment below if you’d like to be on the taglist, and please make sure your settings allow you to be tagged or else i won’t be able to tag you

much loveee!! i’m so very excited for this one :”0

dc x dp au but it’s just jason throwing hands at vlad and completely destroying him while team phantom is in the background cheering him on

(also before anyone gets the wrong idea, i do not ship anyone in dp (especially danny and jazz) with jason or anyone in the batfamily because that is weird and also gross because the majority of the characters in dp are underage (which so many people who are in the dc x dp fandom seem to ignore, btw) and the majority of the batfam (except for damian (and tim for some reason since dc has kept him 17 for a while)) have been adults for quite a while (and also if people going to ship danny with anyone in the batfamily it should be damian because they’re the same age))

Just started posting my latest longfic Matching Frequencies, which is a collaboration with the wildly talented @inkirtis! A hundred years in the future, things are dire out there in a world devoured by consumerism and climate change. Escaping from the realities of the failing world has become a vocation for sex club owner Ed, who's created telepathic technology that reads guests' deepest desires and matches them with exactly what or who they need. The last thing he expects is to match with a new guest himself for the first time in years.

Stede is developing telepathic communication technology, which is as good a reason as any to check out a place that uses something similar in a very different way. Turns out that unlocking his deepest desires makes them impossible to pack away again, and so he keeps coming back for more, entranced by the mysterious guest he's matched with.

A story all about desire and communication and escape...

Lemme just...🤭🤭🤭

Also that gives Leo a LOT of trauma so ya... It's important to the story♥️🫠 it's called a gnat

[leonardcohenofficial]

studying the long sixties as an artistic and sociopolitical era for dissertation research and seeing the exact same tactics used by institutions—especially the "liberal universities"—over and over and over again to surpress organizing and protest while personally still trying to find ways to make tangible and meaningful change is at minimum incredibly fucking haunting

[girleboy]

i'm reading mania by lionel shriver which is essentially about an alternate history in which it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of intelligence or admit that people's intelligence differs at all because it's just people ‘perceiving differently’. and at its core it's really just a tirade against like social contagions and policy made by people who are just making shit up and crackdowns on free speech and whatnot. but superficially the whole ‘what if there was a world where there are no standards for cleverness?!’ thing just isn't hitting at all because i'm in fourth year at a prestigious university amongst students who cannot write a sentence and who complained because one of our lecturers wrote a slideshow in serif font

Happy birthday, Saran! Have some anxiety!

so, today's my birthday, and i decided to. start posting full chapters of Dead Roots, Dark Water? because i like stress, i guess?

anyway this thing's been in the works for a couple years now. i've worked very hard on it, it means a lot to me, and i'm actually really proud of it but, you know, the horror of being perceived and all that. so if you enjoy Jak & Daxter, fucked up dystopian sci-fi fantasy, or my writing in general, you can read DRDW on Ao3.

in case my incredibly nervous sales pitch didn't convince you, have a teaser:

"By order of the crown, you are under arrest. Come quietly, and no one needs to die today." "Under arrest?" Daxter's throat constricted, reducing his voice to a strangled squeak. "What did he do? What did you do, Jak?" Jak only shrugged and shook his head. "You are trying my patience." The soldier flicked a switch near the gun's trigger. The resulting click split the air. "You have ten seconds to comply." Daxter's fingers twitched. Ten seconds. The soldiers blocked the only walking path back down to Sandover. Climb down? No — too steep, no cover. They could hide in the jungle, if it weren't twenty feet down and across the river. All that, and a sheer drop to the ocean behind them. They were fucked. Daxter's mouth filled with ash. This wasn't how it was supposed to end. Arrested for gods-knew-what, taken to gods-knew-where, alone— Alone. No. His knees still shaking, he stood taller. His hands still trembling, he squared his shoulders. He glared into the dead space of the soldier's visor. Fuck that. Fuck them.

The universe of GANAPATH

Songs like sunlight

An mcyt battle of the bands au

Some people really like my snowbugs WIP and now I'm using it as an excuse to talk about my au because I like this au. (Btw feel free to ask questions about the au please I'll love to talk more about it)

CW: the entire entertainment industry, implied workplace abuse and talks about disabilities

World building/plot

SLS or The battle of the bands au is a secret life au that takes place in a dystopian world aesthetically based on ideas like cyberpunk and solarpunk.

After all of earth's greenery was almost destroyed as caused by the industrial revolution people turned to music and other arts to not only cope but to separate more from the technology that was destroying the earth.

Centuries later earth us flourishing with greenery (however their water supply is definitely not better) everywhere you walk you see everything from people on scooters to bikes to street artist showcasing their work to anyone who'll listen, of course nothing can be perfect and Companies have used the rising growth of music to its benefit.

The biggest music company in the world is Watchers Inc. A music company that has been booming since the introduction of their latest singer a masked singer only known as X by fans as well as controversies with former members... However this mysterious singer isn't their reason for popularity oh no it's how they choose their next talents.

Every decade Watchers Inc. Hosts a battles of the bands competition, choosing a selection of popular indie artist to compete for a prize, with the winner being offered a spot as a talent for Watchers Inc. Alongside their prize.

This year is particularly special with the introduction.. And reintroduction of some familiar faces now battling to win a grand prize, which band will come out on top? What secrets will be revealed? What kind of relationship will bloom? And which will have their failures and personal lives broadcasted live in front of millions.

Bands

As mentioned previously this au is secret life based as that was what was currently out when I first started this au do of course I enjoyed playing around with dynamics and how they all started theirs bands/careers.

Gem & The Scott's- indie/alternative music (can't explain but think of black sheep by metric. That. Specifically the one in Scott Pilgrim)

Starting off with gem and the Scott's, gem and impulse met each other because of a family friend leading to their eventual friendship. Soon enough gem had an idea, let's male a band. Both gem and impulse had a fascination for music considering it's how they became friends, so it just felt right in gems eyes. However they needed one more member and luckily she knows exactly who to ask.

Next thing Scott knows as he's relaxing at a bar enjoying his break from music when a random ginger woman runs up to him and ask to join her emo band. And he said yes for some reason so I guess it worked.

Mounders- folklore music

The mounders were founded by pearl a few months after her band's contract was terminated by Watchers Inc. So she decided to start fresh and gather some of her friends to set up a proper band.

Due to Pearl's previous success it wasn't too difficult getting back into business with some assistance from her bandmates and suddenly everything is good again.

The Roomies- pop? (Maybe? Like Oliva Rodrigo kinda pop not finalized)

The roomies aren't technically an official band Grian is considered a independence artist by many and switches around bandmates a lot because of his contract with Watchers Inc. However he trusts etho and Cleo the most and preforms with them as much as he can because they treat him like an actual person.

The heart foundation- Jazz (Dont ask me details I don listen to jazz music)

Couple of dudes work at a bar and play jazz music. I don't know what else you want they're just silly guys with a bit of PTSD

Big dogs- rap (because its funny)

Jimmy and Martyn were both in the acting business for awhile which is how they met. Jimmy has been and actor since childhood and Martyn only started during adulthood while doing music on the side. Soon enough Jimmy ends up ranting to Martyn about acting and how he's tired of it after doing it for so long so Martyn asks if he wants to become a musician with him and Jimmy agrees then the big dogs were born.

Scar & Lizzie- Lizzie is pop (but like theater kid pop if that makes sense) and scar is yet to be decided (maybe country?)

Lizzie and Scar are both individual performers both choosen through a popularity vote by the fans and watcher staff.

Extra fun stuff

This was mentioned in the WIP above but Scott is legally blind, however he was not born blind. He basically got the bad genetics in his family and eventually starts going blind over time. Its really not too important to the plot (besides some backstory stuff and self esteem issues) but it's an interesting detail that I'm doing lots of research to get right.

Lizzie and Joel are married in this au! I'm only bringing this up because my friend came up with a funny idea that Lizzie was unarguably the more popular of the two but Joel bragged about his popularity more.

Skizz owns the bar the heart foundation works at the boys typically do seperate performances and performances together while also helping around the bar itself however Skizz is known to hire small bands to preform as well.

The setting SLS takes place in is as mentioned very green but there are spaces around dedicated to paintings and art in general, like cleared up spaces dedicated to graffiti or street artists having their own spot to work.

Almost everyone in this world is a hybrid of sorts, I try to have fun using lesser used hybrid headcanons but some are just a bit basic. Is there lore reasons they're hybrids? No I just think it's cool.

Since this is a secret life au all the winners of the previous games are Grian, Scott and Pearl (they won together), and Martyn. Grian, Scott and Pearl had all taken the offers to join Watchers Inc. But only Grian remains meanwhile Martyn stayed independent and just took his prize and left.

On the topic of the winners it should be mentioned that all the winners do know each other in some way, Grian is cousins with Pearl and therefore knew Scott by association, Pearl and Scott are former band mates but are still close, Martyn and Scott are friends from highschool so pearl knows him by association, Grian met Martyn at a bar an became friends.

And that's all yall getting for now!
