[bonesandthebees]

Okay longer review for glass ch18 time :DD man what an amazing chapter. Got duped waking up thinking im gonna get crimeboys, and then i got both crimeboys AND sandduo

Im gonna skim reread it as i review

hES USING WILBUR?!?#$ HELP BROO ITS SO SMOOTH AT THIS POINT

There was like one chapter where i caught it and i felt so proud of myself, but after that i just get so invested that i dont even notice until someone points it out lmaooo

I think I did notice when it switched to Pythia, at least subconsciously bc I paused at it and scrolled up a bit to see if it'd always been Pythia but ig I didnt scroll up enough lmaoooo

Ohkygod he switches to Pythia the minute Phil enters the room ohkgyfo u cant be playing around with the narrative like this bee, u are way too smart wtf... I'm still in awe with how flawlessly you play around with the change of name. It's always intentional, and yet it feels so natural when you read it. It doesn't feel like a conscious decision from Wilbur at all, ughh it's so good!!!!

Goddddd I love codependent crimeboys so much bro ohmgydo and u always write it Perfectly ty amen

I think ive said this before but ur just so good at characterization man like helloooo

Each fic!crimeboys are so unique to each other, but you could remove their names and I'd still know they were crimeboys. They still feel like them and ahhh i love them so much

Also bro i totally called Phil waiting for them 😭 it made me so tense LMAOOO

Wilbur fr was like "We're quiet we r chilling!!" Like no sir. No u are not

Its the fact that Phil knew the answer to all his questions, he knew Tommy left him alone aaaaaaaaaaa

I cant do this man theyre all so wheofidbekdhdlkflfek

The fact that neither of them told Phil about the sketchy guy who saw Wilbur is making me so scared tho like noooo guyssss ur already in trouble, just be safe about it and tell the truth noooooo 😭😭😭

Phil is such a dad in this scene ohmygod

Also im laughing, their punishment is they cant talk to each other 😭😭

“Then just close your eyes,” Phil said, almost in the exact same way Tommy had.

Like father, like son [bawls]

Although the Pythia was desperate to know why Phil had paused for so long after seeing his face, he simply nodded, and tried not to flinch when Phil’s free hand grabbed his chin to hold his head still.

Not my dumbass's first thought being "HES HIS SECRET LONG LOST SON" LMFAO FHFJFK

Then i was like "okay no its definitely bc of his age"

Brooo i just want the moment where they see each other without him closing his eyes rahhhhhhhhhssss

Also

I realize i said i was gonna skim reread this chap, but nope im just rereading it properly lmfao 😭😭😭 slow and steady pfff

Its so goood

Now I'll have 2 chapters from glass on speeddial for sure

God every moment of sandduo in this fic is just a parallel of their relationships with their gods im soooo 😭😭😭

When i first started this fic i was so certain that the majority of all Clara's things were just misinterpretations from her followers that got passed down century to century but now atp idek. Im skipping ahead and I'll probs talk more about it at the end of the chapter but like Kristin literally touched Wilbur- Clara's never gotten that close to him. Though maybe it's bc she's not as strongly connected? On both ends... Im rambling here as I theorize so I might not phrase this correctly but, like. My first thought was Phil said blood helped her connect better to the living world, so maybe that's why she can be physically here and not Clara, but I also thought about how maybe it does affect the relationship whether it's mutual or not, right? Cause Phil chose to be with her, there's trust on both ends. Wilbur got thrown into it, and maybe that affects the magic of the connection or smth. Or Clara's a bitch lmaoooo. I always appreciate seeing the god of life being the antagonist. I feel like it's not gonna be black and white though, things are not often with you hahahaha.

God that was a large paragraph whoops. I am certain though, that at least a large portion of the traditions they have (cough not being able to see the face cough) (just being treated as not a person lol), are things both misinterpreted or just plain ol made up to be able to better control the Pythia. Because, who wouldn't want to be able to fully control someone who can see the future? Idk how they'll ever find that out for sure but damn yeah, it's sad. Look at what you've done Bee, you've traumatized a perfectly good boy

Lmaoooo

Is there a limit to how long these things can get?? Spruce how do u separate them into diff parts, do u go by vibes or is there a limit LMFAOOO

Anyways

God. The way Phil knows what Wilburs thinking 😭😭😭 im gonna cryyyy theyre sooo ahdjfkfld

The way you describe all the tiny details, god, your writing feels so real. It feels like it breathes. I feel so immersed in it. I can not only see everything happening around me, I can feel it, as if I were there. I dunno, I just really appreciate all the tiny details you mention, and how you take care to remind us that his eyes are closed by describing the sounds around him, and how you mention him feeling odd when he winces bc of his face being numbed, like ik theyre not a big deal, but those details mean so much to me. They make everything feel so much more alive.

And the way you describe people's thoughts, they're so realistic rahhhhhhss. Your characters always feel truly human

I love your writing so much aaahhh

The cheer i let out when i saw the mate at their 2nd meeting when i read this chap for the first time LMFAOOO

It was at that moment vey knew they were getting a truck load of sandduo--

I had also already forgotten that Phil had told Wilbur he was gonna show him smth lmfaooo

I am starting to get tired fr (it's been almost an hour Oops) so i think i will pull a spruce and split this into two parts and continue after some breakfast or smth LMAOO (pst gang ftw 👆)

Dudududus away into the sunset

I was definitely debating whether or not to start the chapter with him using wilbur, but it just felt right so I went with it and I'm very happy with the tone it gave because it provided such a good tone shift when phil showed up and wilbur switched back to using 'the pythia'. it's such a fun narrative tool to use, though it's definitely a bit exhausting to remember every time i refer to wilbur in narration i'm making a choice with how i refer to him. fun, but a lot to keep in my head

ty I'm so glad my crimeboys feel that distinctive <3

lmao phil was so pissed when they got back. he figured a lot out on his own but wanted to hear it from tommy himself. they really should've told phil about the guy wilbur bumped into tho rip :/

yeah no phil is not wilbur's long lost father or anything. I only think those kinds of twists work in very specific stories, otherwise it just feels like a cheap way to be like "look now these two have a biological reason to care about each other!" and really gives off the vibes of found family being less important than blood family

the thing is regarding wilbur's relationship to clara is that when contrasted with phil's relationship to kristin, i want it to be obvious that it's a two-way relationship. you have to put in what you wanna get out.

LMAO spruce pls share with the class how you split up your asks

ldksjfkl aaa that's so sweet. I love including tiny details like those because I try to make my stories as easy to visualize as possible. I know that when I read something, I want to be able to see the scene perfectly in my head, so I try to emphasize the facial expressions and body language and the setting they're in and all that to really immerse the reader in it

tysm i'm so glad you enjoyed!

[midoriyaizukustan-inactive]

anyway now that ive been in the fandom for a bit i think its time i called myself out and say that i. Love shiniida

hear me out. neutral good, disaster bi iida with true neutral, functional gay shinsou? we stan.

like just consider for a second. shinsou goes to talk with midoriya to get some closure abt their fight in the sports festival and obv talking to midoriya means having to be near his two besties iida and uraraka

anyway midoriya draws shinsou in like the sun he is and so he ends up kinda friends with iida and uraraka as well. along the line they become full-fledged friends esp when he starts doing extra training w them in addition to the training hes gettin from aizawa so he can “”keep up with you hero course nerds”” (in his own words)

anyway so he starts hangin out with the izucrew more and consequently. iida.

iida is the mom/dad friend (depends on his mood that day which one he is) so he usually organizes some hangouts that r also study groups. and now that shinsou is his friend, iida invites him as well

im thinkin eventually iida and shinsou figure out that iida has a strong suit in math but is weak in language, but shinsou is vice versa, so they decide to arrange extra study sessions so they can get the extra tutoring they feel they need

and finally,,,,the pining™ begins

im honestly not quite sure How they fall for each other or how long it would take buuuuuuut……,.,.

iida would definitely admire shinsou’s drive and determination and i feel he’d be rlly charmed by him once he got passed shinsou’s distant, kinda hostile first impression. like once he got passed shinsou’s kinda defenses and saw the tired, funky dude he is that loves cats and sweaters, iida’s poor bi heart wouldnt stand a chance, not even a second. iida would definitely think shinsou’s love for cats/all things cute is adorable. also i think iida would be exasperated w shinsou’s hair but like in the Fondest Way possible. at first he’s like “shinsou u gotta try to brush ur hair!” and shinsou is like “u can try it wont do anything” and hes right it Doesnt. but eventually the messy style grows on iida and he finds he wants to run his hands thro it,,,also iida at first kinda doesnt get shinsou’s sense of humor but he eventually learns to love it

shinsou on the other hand would be softly disgruntled abt how iida cares for him with what i call the Aggressive Affection. cause iida is just like “shinsou! its past 12 am! i would advise you get some rest now” and he wont stop badgering him until shinsou at least turns off his phone and like “shinsou! i made u breakfast bc u slept in late! u can eat it while we walk to class together!” and hands him some cute lil breakfast thing that keeps shinsou’s hands warm while they walk in the morning air. and at first shinsou is like “bruh” but eventually knowing that iida cares so much makes him feel all warm inside,,,,,, and shinsou Would 100 percent find iida’s chopping motions and general gestures he makes when he talks Adorable As Fuck. and he thinks its sweet that iida cares so much abt helpin him academically as well as heroically

anyway i think shinsou would realize his feelings first bc iida is,,,a disaster,,,and he would freak the fuck out becuz oh shit thats quite the distraction from becoming a hero student

iida notices when shinsou starts to avoid him and he gets really sad :[ and it rlly starts to bother him so he tries asking shinsou what he did wrong but shinsou is always in a flustered panic and its like “OHHH LOOK AT THE TIME GOT,,,GENERAL DEPARTMENT THINGS TO DO,,,,GOTTA GO BYE IIDA” so when asking shinsou doesnt work iida tries to ask his friends if they can think of anything but theyre just as confused as he is bc they didnt even realize shinsou was distancing himself. this just makes iida feel even worse bc that means its Just Him that shinsou’s avoiding so its Clear that he did do smth wrong

eventually he calls tensei abt it and tensei kinda calms him down abt it thank you tensei

meanwhile aizawa is like “what,,,is wrong with my child” bc hes not dumb hes observant as hell and he knows shinsou’s been acting kinda skittish lately esp during training so eventually after training one day aizawa sits him down and is like “im not letting u leave until u tell me why ur so freaked out lately” shinsou tries to fight to escape but aizawa is a Pro Hero and shinsou has only been training for a couple months now so he doesnt make it lmfao rip eventually shinsou gets out that he has a crush (how embarrassing poor guy probably wanted to spontaneously combust when he admitted it) and that he doesnt know what to do with it and aizawa is just like “wow mood”

no but really aizawa calls up mic and is like “hi yes hello ur the distinguished gay in this relationship can u give our dumb son some advice”

so mic swoops in and probably embarrasses shinsou a lil bit but overall shinsou accepts his feelings a little more after the talk so thats Something thanks mic

anyway so this pining goes on for a while longer with iida feeling :[ and shinsou feeling bad but like not knowing what to do dkjfjkf. like after the talk w mic it isnt nearly as bad as it was but shinsou’s still awkward and iida can still tell smth abt their relationship has gotten a little stilted :[ but then the joint training exercise happens and its reveled that shinsou is GOING INTO THE HERO COURSE BABEY!!!!!!!

iida is So Excited that he lifts our boy up and spins him around!!! and shinsou is so FUCKING gay he doesnt know how to function once hes put back on the ground smfh so much for being a functional gay huh shinsou

anyway iida starts apologizing profusely like “im so sorry shinsou my excitement just got the better of me and i hope i didnt make you uncomfortable but im so happy for you-!” and shinsou’s like “im in love with you” iida probably passes out lbr

no but both FREAK OUT over that confession and like its so fucking funny bc it was in front of EVERYONE and aizawa just fucking facepalms bc god why does his dumb kid have to take after him so much smh

anyway EVENTUALLY iida and shinsou calm down and before shinsou can Sprint the Fuck Away, iida is like “i!!!!! love you too!!! not as just a friend!!!” and shinsou hides his face in his mask/capture weapon and iida is just kinda bashfully holding his helmet close to his chest and HHH I LOVE MY BOYS………….

anyway they talk and shinsou is like “yeah so im sorry for being weird this past month and a half its because feelings” and iida is like “OHHHH i thought i did something wrong omg” and so they clear that up w each other and start dating. and they are. Adorable. THE couples’ goals in the izucrew. u wish u were as cute as them

iida reading on the couch w shinsou layin down on him?? iida reading TO him while he’s layin down on him in an attempt to help lull him to sleep??? oh my fucking god. thats so good. shinsou brings snacks to their study dates (and theyre actually iida’s idea of regularly scheduled dates someone help shinsou djkfjk) to make sure that they both actually get some food in them. TRAINING TOGETHER,…,..both get v flustered at first but then they get used to it,,im soft

just….my boys….thank you for your consideration. uhh stan shiniida

[haku23]

ok i need to talk about guardians of the whills in Extreme Detail so i’m gonna put it under a cut cause i’m basically just going to spoil the whole book re: the gays and also it’s long so 

they’re so married? like. the “the tea is in the middle drawer” I was like wow, this is not subtle also this is in the first part of the book like immediately they’re just being married

they share a room which like isn’t super gay considerin the state of jedha but like. it says “the bed” it doesn’t say “the bedS” like literally “chirrut took his place on the floor beside the bed” like. he was meditating he wasn’t going to sleep... and neither was baze... they were both telling the other one to go to sleep... like .... eyes emoji like yeah ok maybe they take turns sleeping but why they’re literally always together so they’re always awake at the same time 

also related to ^ baze instead of sitting on the bed?? he?? sits down beside chirrut? no need to he just sits there with him like there’s a bed you old man you can sit on the bed? 

baze not wanting to kill indiscriminately even tho he’s not a guardian anymore and chirrut knows this about him even tho he doesn’t say it  

chirrut just constantly dragging his husband into things bc he knows that baze will always follow him even tho he acts grumpy on the outside(them both knowing that it’s an act but they keep it up bc it amuses them i would assume). also the entire tea thing throughout “oh baze would LOVE some of this tea he hates” like lmfao

baze going all attack dog on ppl and only backing down when chirrut is like “nah ba(z)e it’s fine”?? is my entire fucking sexuality like FHNGHHHH i love that i love it so much

the fact that baze blatantly doesn’t trust anyone who chirrut doesn’t like just a “i don’t trust him” is enough for baze to be like “that person is a shady bitch and i don’t like him”. like literally someone is like “why don’t you ask this other pilot?” and baze is like “chirrut doesn’t like him” like. that’s it. 

also chirrut inherently trusts baze’s judgements and impressions of people so if he says “looks like a shady bitch” chirrut is gonna agree literally he asks the same thing from the movie “does he have the face of a killer” and baze is like lol he’s seen some death and chirrut’s like ya tru i can sense that lol

them working so well together?? like?? amazing this is my other sexuality tbh i fucking love...that shit like put an iv of that into my fuckin veins 

them constantly worrying for the other even tho they have no need to and they know it 

they’re always seated beside one another or standing beside one another. if they’re not it’s mentioned cause it’s clearly out of the norm. 

them LAUGHING TOGETHER SO MUCH bc they have so many jokes that only the other one finds funny their sense of humour is the same and it’s great like baze laughed so much and it was so good 

baze shoving chirrut into the alley and drawing the troopers away from him?? like ?? chirrut clearly not wanting to go into the alley bc he knew baze wouldn’t be able to come and baze just ?? lying to him bc?? he knew that chirrut would never leave him willingly??

BAZE DOES THE COOKING 

them bantering about the cooking 

BAZE WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE BEEN A PAINTER, SCULPTOR, OR BAKER OUR BOY IS A SENSITIVE ARTIST I NEED THIS AU (i’m writing it maybe)

chirrut knowing what baze is thinking so much that baze doesn’t even have to say anything and vice versa like baze knows just by the tiniest fucking difference in how chirrut holds his staff that he’s about to Get Extra 

chirrut mentions baze’s presence calms him like at least two times as in like he’d feel better if baze was around and not having him there knocks him off kilter and he doesn’t like it

baze clearly going down a bad road with saw’s men bc chirrut isn’t there to keep him centred 

baze getting fucking pissed bc people try to tell chirrut he can’t come on a mission bc he’s blind and chirrut being like lol it’s fine... but then saving the dude’s ass later probably while vindicated by dashbord confessional plays

there is like one(1) mention of baze finding a woman pretty and then it’s never mentioned again literally he’s like “she’s pretty and she’s even prettier bc i’m relieved she’s safe” like. that’s it. he hugs her. and that’s about it he literally spends the rest of the book beside chirrut cooking for chirrut and bantering with chirrut

the fact that they’re apart more and more is played as something unusual and upsetting and reads like a relationship quarrel and

baze thinking during the convo with saw that he should have let chirrut come with bc he would have enjoyed the convo like... amazing. bc he left w/o him and then immediately was like ah. i am regret this. like it was so ?? couple-y like y’all it was like the call by bsb. like oh yeah no you don’t have to come with me stay home don’t wait up like... u could feel the wedge being driven between them... they needed to bone

but then after he’s like damn maybe i should listen to chirrut and all is set right by the end

chirrut with a tiny alien child i died even tho i don’t like kids i was still like ?? yes. like. just ?? him and baze adopting a small alien kid ok. baze is like hmm bc he doesn’t want to fuck up a kid but he can’t say no bc chirrut is so set on it 

chirrut being angry at himself bc he SO BADLY WANTS TO HELP EVERYONE AND DRIVE THE EMPIRE AWAY BUT HE CAN’T DO IT AND HE FEELS LIKE A FUCKIN IDIOT FOR THINKING HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH LIKE?? MY BABY

“baze tried to remember the last time he’d seen chirrut happy” like. he’s so sad and baze is thinking of this like he notices his moods and everything and that’s of concern to him 

them both knowing FROM FAR AWAY THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG/KNOWING THAT THE OTHER ONE KNOWS SMTH IS WRONG like. literally baze is like “welp. he knows something’s fuckarinoed” just by the SLIGHT EXPRESSION ON CHIRRUT’S FACE

honestly chirrut was just really amazing in the book and i love him so much and baze was also amazing and i love him so much

THEM BOTH??? TRYING TO GET THE OTHER TO LEAVE JEDHA?? BC THEY WANT THE OTHER TO HAVE A CHANCE AND THEM BOTH BEING LIKE HAHAHA...guess i’m not getting rid of u huh and that’s the END SCENE.it says “their city” as they stand and watch the orphans go to safety after they literally dadded saw’s men like “wow i’m not angry just disappointed” lmfao 

anyway it was such a good book they share a bed. like. amazing.

[foxstens]

i dont think i like typical er*ges

or even moeges. or nuk*ges for that matter. or i guess anything that im not 100% interested in from the beginning. cause ive tried a few of those but mostly as ‘fodder’ or bc i wanted to try smth different

tried two nuk*ges, one of them i dropped bc im just not ready for it at this moment, and another one i quite liked and i was gonna finish at least one route but then my laptop died and i lost all the programs i had on it, and i don’t love it enough to download it again

also tried two that i think would qualify as moeges? one of them is ‘how to raise a wolf girl’ which i tried bc cute and bc ppl said there’s more going on under the surface. i genuinely expected to like it but then i just absolutely hated everything about it other than like the mc’s grandpa lmfao. 

and then another one is called ‘qualia’ something something about this mc who’s like a scientist or whatever and he along with his senpai like create an android maid thingy. and stuff happens. tried it bc the screenshots looked pretty and it has the tag of kinetic novel so i thought it’d be good learning material. also the mc looks cute in that one screenshot he appears in

and yea art-wise it is very pretty and there’s a plot somewhere in there and the mc is certainly very cute but i actually hated the main girl and spent the entire time wishing the senpai was the main girl instead. so eh.

amazingly enough  i didn’t even really like the h-scenes in any of them. which is weird since i thought i’d like them but turns out i don’t really like really high-pitched voices and they get about three times as annoying during h-scenes, especially when the mc is silent. which is almost always.

but more than anything  i guess i don’t like h-scenes which feature people i don’t care about. like i recently read saber’s second h-scene in fsn bc i had never actually gone through all of it and i actually liked it. like yea it was cringy on some levels i guess but it didn’t make me laugh half as much as rin’s first h-scene, it even made me tear up bc it shows such a different side to these characters and i do genuinely like some of the cgs. 

altho some of the  cgs do make me just wanna scream bc sometimes the anatomy is weirdly fucked up even tho it doesn’t seem to happen in non-h-cgs?? that’s part of why i don’t like rin’s first scene, i just actively hate all of the cgs from that one. 

i guess that’s also part of why i like fha’s h-scenes so much more. because all apart from one are completely optional and thus they don’t feel like they’re just weirdly forced into the story and as far as writing goes, they do feel like they add characterization (especially rider’s) and even relationship progression somehow. idk how much of that is due to the translation but they definitely feel like an improvement, and that of course goes for the cgs as well which are all great and i love them.

and even the one plot-relevant h-scene, which might not be to most people’s tastes, i personally like bc? idk i just do. it has my favourite h-cg i guess and it’s so interesting in a lot of ways. also i just found out that it’s the only h-scene in fha that was actually written by nasu which i guess does explain some things. i still like it tho. (altho amazingly enough its all-ages version is also excellent)

yea went off on a tangent there. but what i’m trying to say is that even if i hate some things about these scenes, i still read them and paid attention and thought about what they add to the story and whether i like them and all that. (that might also be bc them being unvoiced makes everything less annoying?

whereas with the other vns i mentioned, that just didn’t happen. i just didn’t have the necessary connection to the characters or the story to really care. so i guess this is how i find out that, contrary to what i previously thought, i’d prefer h-scenes as a bonus at the end of longer vns or not at all. for the most part.

but i’ll keep trying all sorts of things until i’ll be able to tell whether i’ll like a vn just from its poster and tags.
