[fairyboygenius]

ask me questions about my new wip?

working title: mastermind

plot: pop star hits rising artist kyle garrick with her car. her pr team decides that they should enter into a PR relationship because their albums are coming out the same day. in the interest of being transparent and honest, she tells kyle about the people she’s casually hooking up with- a medical student and tattoo artist named simon, a nepo baby painter who’s overstayed his visa named johnny, and an f1 driver for ferrari with multiple luxury brand campaigns named farah. soon enough, kyle’s invited over to meet simon and johnny, and the fun begins ;)

oc: think a cross between sabrina carpenter, ariana grande in her eternal sunshine era, chappell roan, and molly grace (if you don’t know her, look her up!) current name is maya finnemore, she’s fat for sure. former child star who now makes raunchy pop and is very outspoken about social issues. also she’s a terrible driver because of her disaster bisexual tendencies

if you criticize stolas for his ignorance towards his privilege, then you should do the same when it comes to bee and ozzie— and i think mastermind did a fantastic job in proving that.

i know many of us were happy that the two sins came to blitzø’s defense… but did they really? yes, they voted in favor of hearing him out, and tried to speak for him, but they didn’t really put that much effort in, especially considering it’s someone they know who’s getting executed.

i have mentioned this a couple of days ago, but the real reason as to why blitz survived is because the court didn’t really care to find the real truth being the crime.

they just wanted a scapegoat to punish, and in that case blitzø, the lower class hellborn who tried to climb the hierarchy, was the easiest option. that’s why stolas’ ‘confession’ worked so well, despite being so vague, and so, so clearly made up. (he even used fake words !!! lol)

the trial was a lot of hearsay— they didn’t have concrete proof of IMP using the grimoire, or of committing any other crime. which means that anyone of a higher status could have said anything even slightly convincing and it might have saved blitzø AND stolas at the same time.

let me give you an example: since (as i said before) there is no proof of the grimoire being in the hands of IMP, asmodeus could have claimed they had actually been using one of his crystals the whole time. and the crystals was ON BLITZØ’S ARM!!!! which meant, that whatever andrealphus said after, would have been either:

a) him accusing a sin of lying!!! someone of higher status than himself!!

b) it wouldn’t have hold a candle against real, physical proof of the claims of said sin

but he didn’t do that, because blitzø was not worth it. and i’m not trying to demonize ozzie, but if it were fizzarolli, this trial wouldn’t have even started. the same thing could be said for bee and vortex.

asmodeus and bee, like the other sins and royals, prefer maintaining their status and cordiality with their peers rather than fight for someone that, at the end of the day, is not a central piece of their lives.

fighting would mean risking their comforts and privilege, and it is a concept so foreign to them, who have lived their entire lives like that, that it doesn’t even come up as a possibility to do more than the bare fucking minimum.

because have you seen what happened to stolas?

why would they risk losing their powers and status for someone they’re not close with?

(even though this trial is clearly rigged against him. even though a demon is going to lose his life, even though a daughter is losing her father.)

being complacent benefits them more than speaking up, and despite being marginally better than most royals, they still don’t care to show empathy to those that aren’t like them—even if they’re doing subconsciously.

The urge to write fanfic of mastermind mondo with a dabble with ishimondo is so STRONG. Think of not only the betrayal, but how Taka is like the antithesis of that damn school and sorta despair(in a way??). Doesn’t wanna be called a genius, wants to think the best of people and assume they’re just as righteous as he is with the same values(I mean…it’s kinda arrogance and naivety…never forget the “murderer raise their hand” idea he had, BUT it’s from a good place!) until they strongly prove otherwise. He has hope, and djfjfjjfjrjrjrjrkjk guys just imagine with me PLEASE how good this can get. Do you SEE my vision?!??!

Hetalia AU! What if America Became King Arthur?

DNA (Dyna) here! I been cooking up an au for hetalia for a while and the oneshot will be posted soon! Currently it is being beta-ed by Mito and Nui (who make up our group Cell Synchronization) right now.

Here's the synopsis:

It's been exactly 4 years since America vanished off the face of the Earth. At first, everyone lost their minds, especially the Americans, turning over what felt like every stone to find the vanished representative. England himself never gave up.

England's tried everything between his own spying and espionage to satellite surveillance but it was all for naught. The UK rep turned to his tried and true methods. Where science failed magic will prevail!

“I ask again,” The knight says in a more serious and threatening tone, “Who are you?” The summoning was supposed to be perfect. It was perfect. The spitting image of America stands before him...

Only there's a discrepancy.

“Don’t you remember, America? Did your brain gone bonkers while you were missing?” England asks in shock.

”America… America… Why does that word seem familiar?!?!?” the King mutters in distress, as he sheaths his sword with one hand while another holds his head upright. “Are you calling me America??”

What the bloody hell is going on?

oop finally got to play the beta story update, gonna ramble in tags (will have spoilers)

[bibaybe]

💗 + cordy x kendall? or cordy x carlos!

currently writing a cordykendall scene where they’re arguing about whether they could get away with cordy being kendall’s ‘platonic’ date to a red carpet event and cordy is pacing and too distracted running through possible outcomes to even look at kendall so he just grabs her and sets her on the counter to make her slow down and look at him and she’s just like-

oh. this has awakened something in me

and they end up tabling the argument and making out bc she can’t focus anymore and kendall has a new super weapon in his arsenal

[wings-of-waffles]

The only two pieces of writing that have ever driven me to actual, full on tears are:

The end of Warriors: Dawn of the Clans and a certain drawn out character death (no spoilers, go read dotc if you haven't already it is either the best or second best wc arc imo)

This one Mastermind fanfic that made me so excited as I got up and ran around my room, bonking my nose against a shelf somehow, which contributed to the tears even more

And that is how Mastermind Wings of Fire almost broke my nose, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

just gonna drop this here no context

So after reblogging that "Would RJ survive Danganronpa", I randomly got the idea, said "screw it", and so here we are.

Using the Brantsteele Danganronpa Simulator, let's see how well this would go based off purely RNG, with the only adjustment being that a killer is actually caught, because it would be comically silly for the group to vote wrong on Chapter 1 and everything ends there. I know nothing about who will survive, if a Mastermind will get picked and revealed, nothing - This is all being randomly decided and winged.

We start things off pretty wild with a double knock-out of Stingerella and Whiger. J esus I wasn't expecting that right out the gate, Toady won't be happy about that.

Naja and Master Finn wind up pointing fingers at each other during the Class Trial, and some of the other Masters were absolutely gunning for Fran, for some reason..

But none of that got them anywhere in the end, as their friend was accused correctly and found guilty of defeating the two Beasts. Naja gets revenge on the ally he lost.

Chapter 2 begins and iT'S ANOTHER DOUBLE MURDER, GUYS, ARE YOU ALRIGHT??

This time it's Master Rilla and Fran, we lost 2 Beasts with Chapter 1, and now we lose 2 Pai Zhua with Chapter 2, what is going on. Poor Fran, she likely walked in on something she wasn't supposed to see and couldn't compete with someone that could take out a Master.

The votes were m ostly all over the place with this one, but Master Guin and Dominic come under a fair bit of fire - I love the chaos of Grizzaka voting Guin, Guin voting Carnisoar, and then Jarrod straight after voting Guin again.

The vote comes to a tie as a result.

And Dominic is selected, being correctly identified as the killer! Nobody can really believe it, including Theo who actively voted for him. Dominic accepts his fate and apologises; He didn't mean to hurt either of them, but especially not Fran. He just didn't know his own strength.

Absolutely did not see that coming, ohhh that hurts my heart. DOMINIC WHYYYYY. 😭

Chapter 3 is notably more calmer with just one victim, Master Lope. Man these guys are NOT having a good time with the simulator, 2 of them were victims, one was a Blackened, and Guin almost got axed off. Today ain't their day.

We get 2 vote back-and-forths again, with both RJ AND Theo. Swoop and Theo even vote against one another, ouch. Toady also votes for Theo, sounds about right given he kicked a fit over Stingerella fighting Theo in the show.

But Swoop's instinct proves right, condemning the Jaguar Ranger for killing his other Master. Theo fights it, as he would - he refuses to go down without a fight and admitting his flaws - but Lily's heartbroken face is enough to silence him as he realises he can't leave with her.

Damn, the Simulator is getting personal with some of these, first Dom killing his girlfriend and then Theo killing one of his Masters.

Another single-death chapter, Chapter 4 has The Land Overlord Grizzaka be eliminated.

Camille's voted Swoop in 2 trials now, Chapter 1 and now Chapter 4, and Swoop seems to be getting back at her - Those two do NOT seem to like each other. Also Casey voting RJ, OUCH, and Snapper voting Scorch, DOUBLE OUCH. Sides are turning on each other already.

The vote ties between Mao and Naja, and it seems Naja was the culprit. Yeah, that checks out honestly, with the way he was seeking to betray Dai Shi in the actual show I get the feeling he would probably do the same to Grizzaka too.

Chapter 5 starts with yET ANOTHER DOUBLE MURDER. This time it's one Beast and one Pai Zhua, as Jellica and Lily are both eliminated. Carnisoar is the last remaining Overlord, while Casey's the last remaining Core-3 Ranger.

The votes are a bit more organised this time, as Guin is put into the hot-seat AGAIN alongside Swoop and Rantipede. Camille also still does not like Swoop apparently, she voted for him yet again.

But that's not enough, and Guin is voted the most with nobody to tie with - She's finally caught, and calmly accepts her loss. Once again we have a thematic chapter as Guin eliminates her own student, much like how Theo eliminated Lope earlier - I swear this Simulator knows something.

Another double-kill commences Chapter 6, and my heart BREAKS as Camille becomes one of the Victims, alongside Master Phant - RIP the Green Team. I swear if this one ends up being Master Swoop I'm going to screech.

Thankfully it ISN'T Swoop, but I think this is even WORSE. Casey is found guilty, voted by the majority - He and Mao had a back-and-forth where they voted for each other, trying to shirk the blame, but he can't escape what he's done. The team of Rangers is in shambles as only RJ remains, the Red Ranger's hands Blackened by killing a Master and a friend.

ALL of the girls have been killed off now, it's just 10 of the dudes left.

No double-murder this time, that seems to only happen in random spurts by the Simulator, and Snapper is eliminated - Scorch is the only Phantom Beast left.

The vote is generally unanimous, for once so far this Simulator, and I weep again as Jarrod is caught and found guilty. Despair just came so easily to him once his best friend had taken the life of his partner - He had nothing left, and only laughs with tears in his eyes as he accepts his fate, not regretting what he did to be with Camille again.

The Overlords are now entirely out of the Simulator, as Carnisoar is the sole victim of Chapter 8.

Hilariously enough, 3 people all got 2 votes each - Master Mao, for some reason, voted Scorch. Even more amusingly, it's Master Swoop who is found guilty - I guess he had a score to settle with Carnisoar over being the Masters of the Sky.

Only 6 people are left!

Master Mao just BARELY doesn't make it out, and is eliminated by Toady - Of all the Beasts left to axe off Mao, Toady was by far NOT the one I was expecting. But Toady is never caught, and he escapes with fellow Poison Fingers Gakko and Rantipede, Phantom Beast General Scorch, and Wolf Ranger RJ - Though the Poison Finger survives for the sake of his lost love, he survives with blood on his hands, one last strike against Pai Zhua for Master Finn taking Stingerella's life.

I guess the Simulator saw me earlier saying "RJ would probably die in Danganronpa" and said "k bet", though I did also say RJ would make GREAT Protag material, so maybe in this he was the Protagonist! Makes sense given this simulator run, honestly, my guy went through a LOT and is the only Pai Zhua survivor. Dude's gonna need therapy after this one.

Just for some funsies, because the Simulator didn't select one, I spun a wheel to see who would be the hidden Mastermind of the group, and

.. I have no words. his feels scripted but I swear it isn't. IT'S ALWAYS THE BEAR'S FAULT, except unlike Monokuma in Danganronpa THE BEAR ISN'T EVEN BEING CONTROLLED BY ANYONE, NO IT'S FULLY THE BEAR'S FAULT THIS TIME!

These are the final Placements for the Simulator, and honestly WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER. FOUR double-kill chapters, Fran being killed by Dominic, Theo killing his own Master and Guin killing her own STUDENT (plus Jellica), Naja pulling a Beast Betrayal and axing off Grizzaka, the two Masters of the Sky dueling it out, Casey killing Phant AND Camille and Jarrod instantly going off the deep end right after, and Toady getting rid of one of the last Masters left and successfully escaping. A lot of betrayal and vendettas in the votes too, these guys don't play around in Danganronpa apparently because they got BRUTAL.

This was very fun to do, though I wish this simulator had a little more spice to it, mainly the fact there's no Mastermind and no Motive, but hey as the show puts it; Can't win them all, it IS listed as a Simple Simulator after all. Maybe I'll do some more Jungle Fury Simulations in the future; Brantsteele has a Hunger Games one, as well as Among Us, The Voice, and Masked Singer (underrated TV show), so I'll see about maybe doing some of those. :D

Okay I really feel like Canon has such angst recently but I hardly see any longer fics about it (probably because most of the fandom follows the anime) BUT I really feel like Midoirya's Canon vigilante arc could be turned into a 160k+ It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better fic, you feel me? I

Another thought, I really like how we all didn't predict but still wrote and read a bunch of Vigilante Midoriya before it became Canon, love that for us.

last line game tag!

ty for the tag @messerflower 🖤

Sirius watched Remus with his hand on Benjy Fenwick’s waist. The way he would bend over a little to speak something in his ear always being the tallest of any place he entered. How Remus’ eyes were all on Benjy while everyone else’s eyes were on Sirius. Benjy was smart, but Sirius was brilliant. Benjy was cute, but Sirius was gorgeous. Benjy was just and Sirius was, well Sirius.

mastermind snippet i guess lol

[dark-elf-writes]

For me, it's a very simple process. Read the summary first, if I like it, move to the tags, read them, if I like the majority of the tags, I move to the first chapter, and if I like the first chapter, well we have a winner then. It honestly shouldn't be that hard for people.

Ya elf has ADHD so I am pretty infamous for skipping tags and ending up in the middle of some kink that I was not prepared for. Which is fine. Totally on me tbh. Could have paid more attention and I didn’t. If it’s something I don’t like I just back out and keep scrolling, telling myself I’ll read the tags more closely next time and knowing deep in my heart that I am a god damn liar.

[desperatepleasures]

tbh the plot of the tummyache chapter is just "kantarou and haruka get into a fight so kantarou curses him with a tummyache but in a way that not only makes himself evade suspicion but also ensures he gets to look like a hero when he then cures the tummyache (that he caused)" so honestly I might not be writing him conniving enough

Hii SOPH, for the ask game 2, 18 and 20

HI BEA!!! HOW ARE YOU?? <33

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

i used to not to, which was a huge mistake. because i would get lost in the storyline and it just wouldn’t all make sense anymore. now i do, and it’s definitely helped me a lot more, but i still write as i go.

in example, i’ll write a few key points, if not even chapter name, for the chapter, and then i’ll just work with that and write. :)

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

usually before, or during, i usually listen to music while i write/read, but sometimes i tend to change the title afterwards. it all depends, but i work best if i have a song title in mind, or title chapter, and work towards that.

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/ expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

i would say words maybe. i’m insecure about my writing sometimes and fear that i use the same vocabulary or expressions too often.

maybe a lot of US settings. in Love Me ! , we have Sirius start off in the UK, but eventually it’ll move towards the US because Remus lives there and Hollywood etc. in Venus, Cupid, and the Devil within, it’s UK to US again, but mainly US. in the misfortune behind the masterminds of the loved, we have them going to the US after living in France for so long, which was a decision made by me personally because I wanted a dramatic change of scenery for Sirius and especially Regulus. i felt like the UK would still be too close to Europe; America is a entirely new world.
