[fakeposting-aceposting]

Do you ever realize a kink you have and be so utterly disappointed that it's literally only possible in a fantasy realm.

[lavendarsarepretty]

on one hand, physical appearance isnt everything. you aren't defined by your beauty or lack thereof, and everyone has some positive quality about them

on the other hand literally nothing about me is beautiful. i act ugly, i talk ugly, i look ugly, i think ugly, my interests are ugly, i dress ugly, i somehow manage to smile ugly. when do i get to be pretty in anything :c

honestly im glad humans are the main target for erotica because elves have been sexualized for far too long

🍯treebarkhookhandwagondoor

part of the halfling sexual liberation movement was to embrace sexualizsation because we were treated as undesirables under the Valief'taur Period that now its weird to see elves suddenly turn face and claim that sexualizing anyone is bad

ugh honestly and especially now that elves are using Glindeloomstalk's talking points as if theyre here to "uplift" us from eroticism when halflings have known for years how he was a purity kinkster

[jounosparticles]

reply to the tags of your reply to my previous ask: PLEASE RANT TO ME ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP!!!! i want to hear. they rot my brain too and im glad that i found someone who's also suffering the suegiku takeover

OKAYOKAY YAY!!!!! this will be fun >:)

a huge suegiku analysis:

okay in the last ask you mentioned how tetchou stabs jouno for fun and sillies and stuff which happened to make me think a lot about how tetchou acts decently different around jouno than others.

tetchou is typically rather formal in the way he acts in a way? as in he's very straightforward, generally composed and calm in his words, and polite to anyone he's dealing with.

an example of this is when he still treated the cafe owner kindly despite him being an "accessory to terrorism" in jouno's words.

basically, in most situations, he remains very composed. even when he's up to his sillier antics (like when he was watching ants or doing pushups during a meeting). he's direct and straight-faced almost always around most people. he doesn't act that way to be seen as silly, it's just who he is (and i love it).

i would imagine he could act this way for many reasons. it is most likely him being professional, likely as a reference to the irl tetchou who had samurai lineage; making him act with the tone and professionalism of samurai.

despite his professionalism, maybe he has difficulty being expressive around most people, or maybe he doesn't want to be expressive around people by choice.

but this is where he's different around jouno.

firstly, i'll talk about the times he's stabbed jouno. this has happened twice, and both were to de-escalate jouno from his tendancy to mentally torment people.

the wording in these panels implies this is a regular occurrence. which is a little funny to me hehe.

anyway, we see by the way that he acts around others that usually he de-escalates situations by talking first instead of acting. he will turn to violence if he believes it's needed, but typically he talks first. we see this when he confronts kenji verbally before attacking.

yet with jouno he doesn't bother to tell him to stop first, instead opting to jab him. remembering that the hunting dogs have enhanced physical strength, a small stab wound probably isn't a huge deal for them.

because of this i think the stabbings are tetchou partially teasing jouno. him messing around like that isn't something he does with anybody else but he seems to enjoy pissing off his partner.

also. stabbing him directly in the ass? gay as hell. jouno following up by saying "don't poke my ass every single time" implies that his ass specially gets jabbed a lot. hmmmm

anyways

another example of this is when tetchou smirks/chuckles at jouno insisting that he's the greatest hunting dog. the small laugh was most definitely to bother jouno.

mmmm theyre both so pretty.

once again, tetchou pushes aside his composed self and being intentionally silly only really happens towards jouno.

arguably, this can be shown again in the pushups scene.

tetchou acting unbothered and then calling jouno's weight "just right" while he continues to exercise seems like a combination of him trying to (jokingly) annoy jouno as well as his tendency to not acknowledge his own actions as bothersome or odd to others.

anyway to sum up this segment: tetchou is only seen intentionally bothering and teasing jouno and nobody else. he acts much differently towards others but seems to let his professional guard down around only his partner. this shows a great layer of trust and comfort between the two!

oh. but im not done talking about this. not at all.

the other huge display of emotions for tetchou was everything that went down with kenji.

as displayed throughout most of tetchou's appearances, he's incredibly justice-orientated. he has a tendancy to put justice above everything. here's a couple panels showing this:

ooog tetchou is so pretty. i love that left panel so much

using his own logic here, he should have went after bram after having found him. tetchou even admitted that, but there was one other thing more important to him than that. jouno.

starting here, this panel takes place after bram and aya escape. at this point, tetchou had assumed the agency was using bram to control people; meaning it wasn't just kenji he technically had business with at that time.

i will also preface this by saying the book's influence likely had an impact on tetchou attacking kenji before they could finish talking.

however, the book's writing didn't stop tetchou from insisting on finding jouno before taking down the agency. his worry towards jouno's whereabouts made him change his stance on justice as well as deterred him from prioritizing taking down the agency.

now that he's talking to kenji, i'd like to start it by showing that he seemed genuinely grateful and happy when kenji initially offered to help him find jouno.

as well in the anime, his eyes soften when kenji offers to help.

after talking to kenji for a brief moment, he opts to attack instead of continuing. this seems out of character for tetchou; he even apologized to kenji before saying he needs to find jouno as quickly as possible.

the fact that he apologized, combined with how we've seen him treat people in the past shows that this isn't typically what he resorts to.

also, in the anime we can see the gloss his eyes slightly shaking as he says this line, which could display worry, sadness, or anger towards whatever could be happening to his partner.

he seems almost distraught, which is a huge contrast to his typically-composed self.

and, of course; there's the fact that mid-fight tetchou had to tell kenji that jouno is a good person despite what people think.

he looks genuinely sad here, as if he's speaking from his heart. jouno has very-clearly put up a tough exterior that he uses around everyone, but tetchou goes out of his way to defend him even when he absolutely doesn't need to.

he could have stayed silent or just said he wants his coworker back, but he insisted on stating that jouno is a good person.

it's also important to note that nobody else tends to speak kindly of jouno, which puts a lot more depth on their closeness to each other. tetchou sees through jouno's words and actions and knows that he is heavily misunderstood.

and of course, we have tetchou directly saying that he will place jouno above justice despite knowing what the right course of action should have been.

he is putting jouno above the very thing he basis his career as well as his morality on. that's how worried he is. that's how much he cares.

and in this panel, we see he's extremely angry towards kenji's lack of response.

lets compare this to the first time tetchou fought the agency.

in chapter 61, when he was fighting the agency alongside jouno; he kept a more menacing/intimidating look as he attacked. when he was not attacking, he kept calm-looking despite being pissed off. compared to when he was fighting kenji in chapter 100 and looked infuriated. even the different fonts used for the dialogue puts further emphasis on this.

now, i'm going to jump ahead to the end of tetchou and kenji's fight. tetchou recognizes his mistake and asks kenji to kill him.

it's important to note that his reasoning as to why he should have chased justice was because he doesn't think jouno would have condoned his choice.

he specified it again, even opting to call jouno his friend. also note how white his eyes are here, meaning his intent was pure and he genuinely felt awful for misjudging what jouno would have wanted. he cares so much that he was asking to be killed for misunderstanding what was the correct course of action.

and then after kenji insists on helping him find jouno instead, he smiles in relief before the two pass out.

one last small note is that we've only ever seen tetchou smile three times throughout the manga so far, and all of them were mentioned here and involved jouno.

to sum it all up: tetchou, who is typically very composed and justice-orientated, is willing to throw aside his entire stance on justice for jouno. he lets his professional guard down around his friend, allowing them to tease each other and be silly as well, which he doesn't appear to do around others often. this shows that the two have a close bond and genuinely care so much about each other.

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

as for jouno, i don't have as much to say however there definitely is a few things i'd like to touch on.

firstly, despite claiming to hate tetchou a lot, jouno still uses a respectful honourific (-san) whenever he refers to him. i'm not a japanese speaker so please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but there's a good chance jouno would opt to not use an honorific at all if he genuinely detested tetchou as much as he claims.

and when it comes to teasing, jouno does it much more often than tetchou does (however he also messes with more people, it's just a personality difference between the two).

clearly with the way they act around each other, jouno does not actually hate tetchou. i think they like to bother each other by play-bullying.

also, noting on jouno's criminal past, he was given an easy oppurtunity to be thrown into the DoA where he could be incredibly powerful and would likely not face any consequences for his actions had he joined.

we know he declined fukuchi's offer because he found joy in saving innocent people. but i would the influence of the other hunting dogs helped set him into that place of mind. tetchou seems to be the one he works with most, so there's a good chance he takes a lot of inspiration from how tetchou handles justice.

another thing i noticed with jouno is that his displaying of emotions is almost an inverse of how tetchou acts. jouno keeps smiling a lot despite who he's speaking to. in contrast, he can keep a straight face when interacting with tetchou a lot.

of course, that could make it seem as if jouno is unhappy around tetchou, but i would argue it's the opposite.

some people will force a happy expression to appear unassuming or kind (or in a lot of jouno's cases, intimidating). so him allowing himself to maintain a straight face around tetchou could mean that he is comfortable enough around him to not feel the need to express everything. he doesn't need to keep his guard up around tetchou.

jouno almost always keeps a very happy or calm composure around enemies, likely as an intimidation factor. yet he allows himself to express frustration and annoyance around the hunting dogs in general, and most often with tetchou. i'd like to imagine this just shows his security in his partner.

jouno talking to an enemy, for reference ^ i also just really love this page hehe

the last thing i'll mention here is a lot of speculation on my behalf. however i think that jouno seems like the type to push away those close to him. i kind of perceived his supposed hatred towards tetchou to be a combination of joking around as well as possibly a defense mechanism to try and avoid keeping people close?

my main reason in stating that is that he's claimed to not like any of his coworkers yet still opts to not betray them and still works well with them. if he truly hated tetchou, he probably wouldn't allow them to work together. he likely says such things to avoid being liked too much, and these actions proved to work since tetchou acknowledged that everyone sees jouno as cold.

yet through all that tetchou still knew he was good despite the exterior, which makes them well-suited for each other.

anyways: i feel like these two really do treat each other much differently than they treat the other people around them. that puts a lot of emphasis on their bond and closeness in general. they can be silly around each other, they can get through arguments no problem, they make a great team, and clearly care about each other a ton! they mean so much to me <3

i love my sillies :)

Hi everyone♡

For safety reasons I'm not gonna say my real name but you can call me Crystal! I'm new to the community but I've been lifting for about six months. I started out with small stationary, like pens and highlighters, but lately I've been branching out towards small makeup and skincare. Unfortunately I literally cannot lift larger stuff due to the size of my area's stores, however I do plan to lift better stuff whenever I have opportunity to shop elsewhere (especially s3ph0ra. fuck them)

**DISCLAIMER** This community dislikes people who lift from small businesses and I truly stand by that. Just because the stores I lift from are small in size doesn't mean that the owners depend on them for money. I know for a fact that 9/10 of these people single-handedly own half of the area's hotels and Airbnbs so I don't think they'd even notice a couple missing pens & lippies <3 **

Drabbles from Pocket Jack's KiKi-tober Prompt list

They were supposed to be going out on the town, the island they'd docked at having a wide selection of restaurants and concert halls and other amusements. They'd been loitering in the area past their departure as the days slowly ticked away in the second week of the new year, specifically for tonight. Instead, Kidd and Killer found themselves drinking in the quiet galley, sharing gossip and reminiscing about an island that never quite felt like home there at the end.

About the wild exploits of The Kid Boss of the Heaps - a teenager that had managed to unify the unmanageable, and how even Killer's Boss had sat up and took notice before their group had imploded.

Kidd had had a few times where the same had almost happen to him too, before he really came to understand the power he'd found himself responsible for - "People only fear you for so long before they hate you enough to do something about it." Which was terribly profound when you realize a 16 year old had come to understand this before the adults around him did.

"At least you had some charisma that got you a few people that had your back. Nobody followed me because they thought I was going to be a good Boss. I was just the poor bastard left standing with the dust cleared. As soon as they realized they had other options, it was an exodus. Most of them defected to you or Wire pretty fast."

"I did notice an uptick of sycophants after that one meeting we had."

"I believe I warned you about that."

Kidd nodded. "Yeah... yeah, you warned me about a few things. You were right - about using my fruit around people. It being a bad idea."

"... I'm sorry."

"Yeah, well. Live and learn."

"I hope you smeared the assholes to paste."

Kidd chuckled darkly, "I did indeed. They were worthless; be glad they ditched out on you."

"It was only a matter of time before they left. They all do." Killer conceded, sipping his beer though a straw Dive had found... somewhere. "Just sorry you had to deal with them."

"You left me." He hadn't meant it accusatorially, not really. Just a statement of fact. But once it was out, Kidd felt a little angry about the whole thing. Killer just going on about being left behind, oh woe is me, but he did the same damn thing.

Killer frozen in place, before slowly putting his mug on the table. Kidd could feel him looking to the galley exit, calculating how to leave.

Fuck that.

"Was I that awful to be around?"

Killer rubbed his palms on his jeans, and Kidd swallowed thickly around the lump forming there.

"Oh."

"Look.. It..." Killer got up then, and Kidd watched him start to pace, feeling more and more uneasy with each anxious step Killer took. "It wasn't you, it was me... Well, it was you but it wasn't your fault."

"I have no idea what that means."

Killer's head is tilted up like the ceiling holds the answers.

"Killer, what the fuck does that mean?"

Killer shook his head, and Kidd stood up abruptly, ready to block him from fleeing.

"Killer! What did I do?"

"It wasn't your fault." Killer reiterated, and that didn't make anything clearer, and they both knew it. "You were just... You were kind of a lot... at.... that age..."

"I was 14! What are you on about?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Kidd had a sickening feeling starting to form in his gut. It must have shown in his face, because Killer glanced at him once before quickly looking away.

"You... got a little.. handsy. At night."

"Handsy?"

"A lot handsy. And.. clingy?" His voice pitched like a question, like he was trying to find a way to word Kidd's apparent behavior while downplaying it at the same time.

Kidd slumped against the table they'd just been enjoying drinks at. "How bad was I?"

"Four Blues, Kidd - you were awful." Killer groaned, "Every fucking night, three times a night, minimum, you'd be all over me."

"I... I.."

"Every time I thought it safe to drift off, you start making these little noises and I was so sleep deprived, Kidd. So sleep deprived. I'd leave in the morning purely to go sleep in Ceannard's office for a couple hours."

"I was 14!"

"When I was 14, I would get up and fucking take care of it - you just.." Killer voice had a panicky edge he'd never heard, before pointing wildly at him, "Every fucking morning, I wake up and had to deal with you getting off dry humping me. And you didn't even have the decency to be awake!"

"So you should of woken me and told me to knock it the fuck off!" Kidd paused, head cocking to the side as he studied how Killer had tensed up, bad shoulder touched in - "You didn't want me to wake up. You didn't... you didn't want me to know. Why?"

The mask hides a lot - Killer was always too expressive - his face an open book. But the mask didn't hide everything. Not from Kidd at least.

"You were into it."

Killer shook his head. Not a denial of Kidd's words, a denial that they were being spoken in the first place. He was coiled up so tight Kidd wasn't sure he was even breathing anymore.

"You liked me all rubbing up on you." Kidd almost wanted to preen at that, anyone else he would be puffed out proud. Instead a knot formed in his gut. You got off on it He keeps himself from saying, the thought tangling in his throat, forcing him to swallow thickly. Or you wanted to at least...

Killer made to widen the gap, but Kidd wouldn't let him, crowding him up against the wall.

"Then why would you leave?" he cried, not understanding at all, "I was horny, you were horny, what was the problem? We coulda fucked around a little, so what?"

"Because Killer might be good for a quick fuck, but nobody sticks around long after!"

Kidd started at him quietly, stunned, step back like Killer's words had been a physical blow. Killer hunched in himself, slouching back, surprised by his own confession.

"Killer..."

"I thought... I thought if I left first it would hurt so bad. You were getting along with the other Heaps' and you had a reputation for being an tough asshole so I thought... I thought you'd be okay."

Kidd pressed his fingers up on the bottom lip of Killer's mask, a request not a demand, his brows pinched unhappily.

Killer relented, and pulled the helmet off. But Kidd surprised him by taking it from him, holding it in his hands thoughtfully. He studied the interconnected plating, planning on how he'd make the next one different - better ventilation and more internal padding around the ears.

"I really liked Vicky." He started solemnly, "The three of us. Hanging out together. And sure, I wasn't thrilled about the two of you ditching me all the time. I thought maybe I was jealous of you for a long time, getting to hang out with her alone. And maybe I was... But I think I was also jealous of her. But then she was gone." Kidd spoke to the helmet, easier to say this to the empty drill marks than the man in front of him. "But that was okay because I still had you. And .. And I really liked being with you. I always felt safe, and waking up every morning with you right there... and then.. and then you weren't anymore. Even before you left, you started to be distant, and I hoped maybe you just got a new girlfriend and after the novelty wore off things would go back to how they were."

Killer was quiet, watching his hands fiddling with the metal, before he gently took the mask back.

"But it was me. You left because of me."

The worst part was Killer couldn't even disagree. He turned away from Kidd to put the helmet aside. "I left because I didn't know how to tell you no. I left because I rolled over and let anyone fuck me for a kind word, and I knew that I'd let you too, if you wanted. But you were 14 and you're my kid, and it got all weird and complicated and I didn't know how to see you as someone who wanted sex yet and .. And I was scared if I gave in, if let you take what you wanted, you'd toss me aside too once you were satisfied... so I ran away before you could."

"And if Vicky hadn't died... would you have ever talked to me again?"

He watched Killer's hand caress the line of white and blue. "No." He said finally. "No. You were doing so well; I was so fucking proud of you. You turned into this great man: You united the Heaps, made them believe they were people again. You had all them following you because they saw you were someone worth following. And I knew that I didn't have anything to do with that. That was all you. And I didn't deserve to talk to you anymore."

"Excuse me?" Kidd frowned, "What the fuck do you mean - you didn't have anything to do with that? You don't deserve to talk to me? What are you on about?"

When Killer didn't answer, Kidd grabbed his elbow and forced him to turn back, "Look me in the face and say that bullshit again!"

Killer stubbornly remain quiet.

"No!" Kidd growled, "I've gladly bashed the face in of anybody who talked shit about you. Don't think I'm gonna let you say it either."

Killer opened his mouth to start to say something but then stopped again.

"Killer!" frustrated, Kidd grabbed Killer's face in his hands, forcing him to look at him, "Say it to my face. If you're going to insult my friend, have the balls to say it to my face."

Killer met his eyes this time, blue to orange, complementary and contrasting in equal parts, and Kidd frowned at the pained pinch at the corners, the shame Killer wore in his features. He didn't understand, and no searching helped him find the reason. "Why would you ever say that you aren't the reason I got this far in life?"

Killer tried to escape his look by closing his eyes, but Kidd shook him softly; Killer's long lashes brushing his thumbs when he opened them again.

"Why did you leave me?" he tried again.

"You were 14...."

The light went on this time, Kidd breathing out a soft, "Oh" as Killer tried to look away again. Kidd rubbed his thumb against Killer's cheekbone, tipping his head back until their eyes met again. "I'm not anymore."

Killer was starting back at him, a fearful guarded look. But now, now Kidd thought he understood. He smiled back, tone soft, "Can I kiss you?"

The fear was still there, but Kidd would show him. He waited until Killer lowered his gaze, but nodded, a soft, "Okay" that was both defeated and begging.

Kidd smiled, hands sliding up Killer's cheeks to brush his bangs away and placed a soft kiss to Killer's forehead, smirking at the red painted lip marks left behind. Killer was looking up at him curiously though his lashes. Kidd rearranged Killer's bangs until the mark was hidden under wild hair.

"It's my birthday... come have dinner with me?"

"Okay."

[serve-cunt]

HI!!! okay so I’m only three chapters into so what are you waiting for and having a great Sunday morning tbh!!! Im gonna get more tea and crack on but please!! Tell me more about sincaraz f1 drivers who “might be fucking” I’d love to hear the lowdown!!!

AHH I'm so glad you're enjoying!!! it's crazy how that fic took over my life for a good five months, I secretly sometimes still watch tennis and wonder where oscar is LOLL any w a y ....

[[okay hi again @bakingblues I had to private this briefly because I SOO did not answer your question but I have edited in my answer for f1 driver headcanons. I'm going to pretend that I wrote everything with that in mind in the first place lmao here we goOOoooo.... ]]

to answer your wonderful question I feel like some irl sincaraz context might be nice! ;) so let me start there! ;)) I love to completely read asks and not make assumptions!!! ;)))))

SO!! sincaraz. the main players are: carlos alcaraz, 21, spanish, SUUUPER smiley, baby-faced beautiful muscular delight of a human

and jannik sinner, 22, italian, carrot-topped stoic-faced bambi-legged carrot-cult runner

they are both next-gen (new gen??) tennis players, i.e. coming after the era of the "Big Three" — Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic. Carlos was an immediate and breathtaking wunderkind, ranked in the top 35 male players by 18 and beat both Nadal and Djoko at a masters 1000 (his second masters 1000 title) in 2022 like. three days after his 19th birthday. already wild!! THEN he goes on to win the US Open same year!! he finishes 2022 the youngest ever no. 1 ranked ATP player and goes on to win a bunch more titles in 2023 including Wimbledon where he beats Djokovic in a fucking inCREDible match (I watched 30 minutes of that in the pouring rain and then had to escape to a cafe where I made them turn on the tv and had the best day of my life lmao)

carlos initially appears to be very much of the max verstappen mold, i.e. a nerd, fairly single-minded, incredibly talented, seemingly breaking the rules of physics at times. basically by the end of 2023 he's the Guy To Beat, plus everyone loves to watch him ... he's got style and variety and power and he LOVES the game, he smiles the whole time, he has FUN, he's just!! a joy to watch!! he's the elephant in the room at every tournament, he's the "future of tennis," and nobody can talk about anybody else.

Except Carlos.

Because Carlos talks about Jannik.

It's very funny that carlos talks about jannik so much at this point!! like, it's a point of discussion how many times carlos brings jannik up in conversation. very much 'hyping my friend up' vibes. 'oops talked about my crush again' vibes. because Jannik is sort of .. following? carlos at this moment? He's doing well, but he's a year older and only starting to get to the same level of matches as carlos, even as carlos does it himself. (there's a funny clip of jannik making it to the semifinals at wimbledon and the on-court interviewer says: "youngest to do it since 2007!" and jannik says, "yeah but carlos..." and sure enough carlos immediately went on to steal that honor and, in fact, win the tournament lmao)

and also people just aren't talking about jannik in the same way! his tennis isn't as immediately interesting to watch as carlos's because he doesn't come to the net as much, he likes to play from the baseline. also he isn't as reliable as he should be, esp on serve, for somebody not taking those alcaraz-esque risks up the court. but— when he's on he's ON: super clean strokes, super powerful, and he has really excellent movement for somebody so tall. beautiful, dependable backhand. Still, not everyone is like. entranced by jannik in the way they are by carlos. i remember listening to a Tennis Podcast episode as jannik was starting to get serious momentum through the top of the atp rankings and be considered a real next-gen challenge for carlos (for reasons I'll get to) but otherwise kind of flying under the radar, and one of them (Catherine lol) said something along the lines of "I don't really see what other people are seeing in sinner, he leaves me cold, I just don't really like watching him". (Which is SO funny to me. I saw one sinner match in 2021 (miami) and thought "this guy's MINE" lmao)

BUT! by the end of 2023 jannik actually has a winning head-to-head with carlos which is unusual enough to remark on, ALSO, they have a series of incredibly interesting and thrilling matches under their belts.

They meet for the first time in 2021 in Paris, (well on the atp tour anyway. they also met in this challenger match, they're 15 and 17 respectively and so cute and dorky). in paris the match is great, they both seem to have fun, but what's really lovely (and important for The Lore) is that after the match —which Carlos wins— Jannik leans in real close and intimate and says: "I hope we play some more" and Carlos gets uhh. SO supremely happy about it. in his on court interview he says "we will both be in the top" which!! prescient...

From that 2021 meeting they go on to have banger match after banger match, namely the quarterfinals at the US Open in 2022 (which Carlos won) and an insane Indian Wells match in 2023 (which Jannik won). what's really special is that you can see how push-and-pull they are with each other: they learn from each other, they play their best against each other, jannik's tennis is more interesting against carlos, carlos is really tested with his movement against jannik, like he can't just run him around. THIS is why carlos can't shut up about jannik. they play CRAZY tennis against each other, and both of them have FUN. guaranteed good match-up, everyone rooting it for it in every tournament. so even though people aren't talking about JANNIK in the same way as they're talking about carlos, they're definitely talking about the combination they make on court. As is. Carlos. :)))

so if you're delusional like me this is when you start to think about the Shipping Narrative ... like.... look at this....

LOOK AT THAT DOUBLETAKE. insane... and the rivalry they have going at this point... carlos's obsession with jannik ... jannik still trying to measure up to carlos... I mean!! think of the potential ! they are talked about in relation with each other at ALL times (if people aren't talking about carlos v djoko, anyway) and they are nothing but sweet about it.

they're also so cute TT_TT the brain rot begins ... the ship name is formed ... sincaraz is here to stay

okay. So. at the end of 2023 jannik goes through a life changing experience.

he pukes in a bin.

this happens in beijing in Oct 2023, in a match he played against grigor dimitrov. he's looking BAD all match, clearly unwell, and then during one of the changeovers he asks for a bin to be brought out and uh. well. see above

he stands back up, looks a lot better, goes on to win the match and then immediately goes on an INSANE run of victories. this tweet pretty much sums it up but he essentially looks unbeatable for the next five months. he beats djoko three times, only gets beaten by him once. he wins his only match-up with carlos. he wins against a bunch of other top 10 players on his way to several titles. he beats medvedev FOUR TIMES (who was ranked 3rd in oct 2023, currently ranked 5th, sorry meddy :// ) . he wins the AUSTRALIAN FUCKING OPEN.

this is the post-puke sinner era. he wins 16 matches in a row, an astonishing run, and he just. Looks. So. Good. He barely dropped a set to get to the australian open final (one, to djoko) and he is playing beautiful —stunningly beautiful— tennis. his serve is FIXED. now HE is the only person anybody can talk about. new future of the atp, people are WATCHING. his carrot fan club is going insane. who can beat him??? when he looks THIS GOOD??

yup. of course. carlos beats jannik at Indian Wells to defend his own title from 2022, ending Jannik's winning streak and cementing the rivalry for a lot of people: i.e. even at jannik's best, even when carlos is in a bit of a slump, carlos still throws jannik for a loop. it's NOT that interesting of a match overall, honestly, although some great points and a tournament beset with Problems, including ... bees!!! what's most interesting about this match imo is the several lovely moments of sincaraz we got from it, some jumping around together beforehand, jannik doing some fairly atypical showing of emotion, and the famous walking off together during the rain delay (rivals don't really do that???) They're just so cute the whole time, a beautiful day for tennisblr tbh. jannik can be so STOIC and carlos just!! brings out the boy in him!!!!!!!!!

^^ rivals!! :)) enemies even!! :)))

jannik goes on to win the other half of the sunshine double, at miami (does not face carlos to do so), making them the SUNSHINE DOUBLE BOYS and deservedly so.

and that pretty much catches you up on the basics of sincaraz!! basically they are each adorable individually, they are adorable together, and they have a chewy fucking rivalry building that EVERYONE is enjoying rn. tbh my ship manifesto gets a lot less fun from here on account of some inane-making thoughts re: the (un)requited & one-sided nature of this ship but let me rec some fics real fast:

umiltà which is INCREDIBLE

Phoenix which is a wonderful character study for jannik, truly beautiful writing

also THIS HUNGER GAMES AU MY GOD

okay so as f1 drivers

first of all, they HAVE to be in the mclaren car, obviously. to me they are an obvious mctwinks parallel: clearly friends, very compatible, same age, but with some fun mentor/mentee dynamics thrown in

Carlos gets signed first, very young — the lando equivalent! he has maybe one or two teammates before jannik but they're all older and it just doesn't exactly click. he likes everyone, even gets along well with them (as well as the rest of the grid!) but he's not quite at home yet. not helped by the fact that he's in one of the fastest cars on the grid, and wins WDC in his rookie year! (maybe helped out a bit by a few djoko DNFs ... I feel like that could be equivalent to djoko being out of some major matches in 2021/2022 for novax reasons) anyway carlos gets an aura which makes it hard to connect w the others, maybe. he's a lil lonely!!!

Jannik gets signed a year later and they click as a teammate pair pretty well. I see a VERY similar trajectory as landoscar: carlos is much more comfortable with the press, knows the team really well, shoulders much of the burden of marketing etc. Jannik comes in to a team that has a fave driver already, but he's ALSO a good driver, and carlos likes him so so so sosososo much, so the team welcomes him with open arms. At first he performs okay... not great... he has a slower learning curve. He's improving, but incrementally. he and carlos get closer as they share tips about the car and training etc.

Then one day he pukes in a bin. this part is essential. HOW it happens doesn't matter ... he gets food poisoning?? heatstroke??? doesn't matter, who cares, the point is, this is his turning point in terms of hoisting himself up the driver rankings. He starts making it into the top five drivers every race, gets some podiums, wins his first race. carlos is RIGHT THERE NEXT TO HIM. they celebrate together !! they kiss that very night!!!!!!

now they are fighting for WDC. things get tense. this is where I have to stop I get too anxious LMAOO anyway!!

so those are my broadstrokes headcanon re: how would sincaraz work as f1 drivers. I do think about it quite a lot ....... they all live in my brain now probs forever 🤪🤪 sorry to make you read all that. maybe you didn't lol but ENJOY ANYWAY AND THANKS FOR THE ASK ILYYYYYY <3 <3 <3

3rd Life Remastered Irl Segment 1 1/2

If you are just joining this and just happened upon this a warning it is highly recommended to read the prologue and Session 1 before continuing on here. With that being said while these people (save for Slimer) may be real everything they say or do is fictional this story is entirely satire. And most importantly a warning this story has sensitive topics mainly of self harm and suicide. The whole point of this story is to raise awareness for those that are struggling with Mental Health.

After sending my footage to Doodl3 I log into the discord and turn on my webcam and mic. "Hey Guys" I say looking at Mumbo "Hello Mustache or should I say no Mustache" Everyone except for Etho has their webcams on. Mumbo: "Hey I do too have a mustache. It's just very small and while I'm at it you're trying to tell me you aren't a real slime" Everyone bursts out laughing Etho: He has a point there "Etho I noticed in the Ancient City your voice sounding hoarse are you ok Etho: I'm sick right now but even still I won't miss a single session of this " "Yeah you definitely don't want to miss this" I hold Rylee up and get a bunch of awwws from everyone Scar: You take care of Rylee now Slimer" "He's my therapy dog but he's also a very friendly one" I wave his paw at everyone "He's all I have left" Bdubs: Wish I had a puppo" "Then get a puppo boyo" Bdubs: I would but it's a lot of work you're lucky you got a dog for free that loves you" "Wait till somebody else arrives it's like I don't exist to him" Impulse: Puppo" I wave Rylee's paw and feel a sharp pain in my chest followed by a whopping cough and unintentionally drop Rylee as everyone is gasping and going woah. I am reaching desperately for my inhaler Grian: Slimer do you need me to call 999?" I finally grab my inhaler and put it in my mouth and feel at ease gasping and coughing for breath as everyone looks relieved Me: Sorry about that everyone" Scar: Hey here's some advice for you don't apologize for something you can't control" Impulse: The important thing is that you are ok and we didn't lose a player" Jimmy: Yeah I need my captain" Bdubs: And I need my hype bro" Joel: I'm just glad nobody died" Me: Let's change the topic Bigb I noticed you died as well stage is all yours talk to us about what happened" Bigb: I was going back to my base to talk to Impulse Cleo and Etho and that's when Gem over there hit me from behind and crit me so I was running because I realized what was going on and that's when Grian comes out of nowhere and smacks me that's when I knew it was either Gem or Grian is Bogey. They unfortunately chased me to a cliff where Grian knocked me off" Me: Annoying voice as always Grian" Grian: HEY" Me: Well I'm going to feed Rylee and take him out I'll join you guys in a bit"

I leave the group alone and go to feed Rylee they all see me by his side petting him as he eat Scar: Aww him taking care of Rylee reminds of Jellie" I go to get Rylee's leash forgetting that my Webcam Mic and Discord is still on.

While I'm on my walk the sky is beautiful in the early evening. Traffic is slow but slowly speeding up Rylee is happy wagging his tail and he finally poops but that is when voices begin again "End it" "Kill yourself" "Bring Rylee with you" "You are nothing" A truck is coming by and I slowly walk to the edge of the sidewalk pulling Rylee with me the poor dog doesn't even know what's going on as I step closer to the edge and the truck is getting closer. Suddenly I snap back into reality realizing what's going on I drop the pooey bag grab Rylee and book it back to my apartment tears in my eyes.

Bdubs: So you give me the Golden Apples you have next session?" Scar: You my friend have yourself a de-" The door to my apartment bursts open tears in my eyes as I take Rylee's leash off and lay on the bed everyone going "Hey hey HEY HEY" as I pull my inhaler out and use it.

As I go to my computer I gulp trying to think of some lie Grian: I think all of us need to have a talk with you about what we just saw" Major: Why are you so upset did somebody hurt you" Scar: Talk to us we're all here for you" Mumbo: Please we're all worried for you" Cleo: Yeah what's wrong did something happen with you and Rylee?" I gulp and say "Kind of" Pearl: What do you mean kind of?" "Well I was on my walk and I started to space out" Gem: Why is that something to be upset about"

Realizing I have no way out I take a deep breath and say "I heard voices in my head while I was on my walk and" Grian's eyes go wide "I tried to walk in front of an oncoming truck with Rylee Scott: WHAT" Joel: THE" Bigb: HECK?" Grian: Are you actually kidding me right now?" I shake my head at Grian's question Grian: How long has this been going on for? Cleo: More importantly why haven't you told anybody?" "It's not as easy as you think I didn't tell you all of you for this reason" Scar looks absolutely hurt and shocked by this news Bigb: Didn't tell anybody for what reason you tried to kill yourself and your dog?" "Bigb it isn't as easy as you think I've been dealing with this since........" Bigb: Since when?" "....." Grian's eyes widen in realization Grian: Since your divorce? With Laura?" I nod my head Grian: And you didn't think to talk to me?" Me: It's not as easy as you think Grian the first step is always admitting you have a problem which is the hardest part" Grian: Hey calm down alright I'll be coming over to your place later tonight and me and you are going to have a very serious talk about what is going on and whether you can continue in the Life Series with us" Not feeling like I have a choice I nod and log out of Discord turning off my webcam and my mic.

A few hours later Doodl3 sends me a text "Yo dude you're blowing up" Me: What do you mean?" Doodl3: Check your subscriber count you just gained 1.5 million in the past 2 hours you are now at 8 million subscribers" Me: WHAT?" I check my phone at the latest video and scroll to the comments. "Man I feel sorry for this guy hearing voices in his head and suicide that would explain why he was always staring so blankly" I'm genuinely confused by what everyone is talking about and how they knew this information until I get a link from Doodl3 saying "you might want to check this out and after we have quite a bit to talk about" I click on the link and see it's my discord confession to the entire group somebody was recording me without any of us knowing and posted the video to an anonymous account.

Fury is in my eyes as I storm over to my computer where everyone is chatting about the video and scream "WHICH ONE OF YOU WAS IT" Grian: Calm down there is no need t-" "CALM DOWN CALM DOWN MY SUBSCRIBERS NOW KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH ME BECAUSE ONE OF YOU RECORDED AND FILMED IT AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BE CALM?" Scar: Getting angry isn't going to help with it" "WELL I'M ONLY ANGRY AT WHOEVER DID THIS" I break out into a coughing fit and use my inhaler again "So I give you guys a chance to stand up for yourself bring yourself forward whoever did it and I won't be angry" After nobody confesses I am fed up I lean into my mic and say "you know what everyone?" Grian: No I know that tone in your voice don't do it or you won't be getting the surprise I have for everyone" " SCREW ALL OF YOU" as chaos unfolds I log out of Discord turn off my mic and webcam and lay on my bed Rylee laying next to me wagging his tail and licking my tears away. Meanwhile my phone is blowing up from texts from Doodl3 Grian and everyone else.

I'm crying for I don't know how long before I feel a tightness in my chest and I knock my inhaler away I'm unable to get to it before I feel weak coughing and wheezing as my vision gets blurry and I fall to the ground. I hear my apartment door open and a faint voice ???: HEY" I see somebody pick up my inhaler and put it in my mouth ???: Hey you ok? "Who are-" I feel myself lifted on my couch Grian: Easy now it's ok" Me: Grian? How did you- Grian: you left your apartment door unlocked I heard you coughing so I came in to help you wondering if you were alright breathe compose yourself recover then we need to talk" Grian notices a violin near my bed and sees an opputunity to help Grian: You play?" I nod Grian: What songs do you like to play? Me: I can play any video game soundtrack but my personal favorite is Waterfall from Undertale but I'm currently practicing Blaze of Iris from Epic Battle Fantasy 5 that one is 7 and a half minutes" As Grian sees me calm down he begins to speak Grian: So how long have the voices been going on for?" Me: Ever since Laura......." Grian looks at me with a look of sympathy Grian: You loved her didn't you?" Me: Yes Rylee is all that i have left" Grian: Have you ever felt suicidal?" Me: Yes the voices ahve been telling me to end it from time to time but this is the first time I attempted it" I see Rylee lay on Grian's lap Me: Traitor" I say as I see him wag his tail Grian: Hello Ry Ry" He pets Rylee

Me: So you said you had a surprise for me?" Grian: For everyone actually we aren't doing anymore regular videos for this season we are heading over to Minecon Los Angelos for 2 weeks well except Etho he said he isn't feeling very well but he will still be in this season with us livestreaming as well we're all meeting up in person" My eyes go wide Me: What about Rylee I can't go anywhere without him" Grian: Don't worry I made arrangements for you and Rylee all of us you and I are going to the airport in 2 days so that we can go to Los Angelos the airport allows therapy dogs the limo all of us will be getting in will have enough room for all of us including Rylee. Everyone is on board pets are going to be looked at. And Hotel allows pets and" He whispers into my ear Grian: There's going to be food there when we arrive at the hotel for guests of honor all paid for beforehand so everyone can eat to their heart's delight" My eyes perk up Grian: There's a catch though you need to apologize to everyone for what you said to everyone because we don't know who uploaded that video and even if we did you can not and I repeat CAN NOT take your anger out on us" I look really guilty about what I said Grian: You know Bdubs daughter Ariana heard you say that and she is concerned she looks up to you she really loves your videos and to hear you say that to her father is a lot for her to go through"

I grab my phone and text @doodl3 "Yo listen I promise to explain everything but I have an important question for you how good are you at moderating a stream the rest of this season is going to be live at Minecon this year with everyone else more importantly will you be there?"

We're a system and we have several Sam Winchesters in our system and sometimes us and a couple of them just wanna. Tell people we have them. No idea why. Are we looking for attention? Validation? Who knows! It's frustrating and embarrassing. We just needed to tell somebody.

Well I am honored that you chose to tell me. I think it’s normal to want to tell people about your system - your headmates are a big part of your life and no one around you can see them, which is extremely frustrating and even more frustrating for the people who nobody knows about. I can definitely relate to both of those situations, as nobody irl knows my name or pronouns. We go by the hosts name and pronouns and nobody knows about me, which makes having a sense of identity in the world frustrating. I want to dress the body like I would in the headspace but I can’t very often because my sense of style is so different from the host. It took until the last few years for me to even get the chance to consume media that I like because I was locked in the headspace so much. And of course our body will never look like me. I imagine all of this is even harder for fictives because you have a whole life that you’ve lived and a whole identity outside of the life you’re living now, so of course you want to tell people about that. I don’t think wanting to look for attention or validation is a negative thing at all, it just seems to be part of living in a world where plurality is not well known.

This blog is actually the only place where I’m me, and I don’t even talk about plurality here as much as I initially planned to because I have so many non plural followers that I’m nervous about making people who followed me for fandom stuff uncomfortable. That being said, having this one space where I can be me as fully as possible has helped a great deal with feeling like I want to tell people about myself. Now those feelings are less like I’m clawing desperately to get out of a life that isn’t mine and more like a pleasant fantasy that we might someday get to tell someone we’re a system and I might get to be friends with people as myself. So if you want advice: have a space where you can be yourselves, even if it’s just online. Another thing that has helped me immensely is having my own hobbies and interests and getting time to engage in them. Conversations within the system about what everybody wants in life can also help - I used to think I didn’t want to go to college because it’s something I would never have chosen to do if my headmates didn’t, but after having some time to go over everything together and independently I am glad to be on the life path we’re on. This makes our life feel more like mine and like when people know our host they also know me.

This got so long and I could make it longer but I have to go to sleep, so thank you for sharing and I hope that this can offer you all some comfort and connection!

LET'S GET REACQUAINTED ! hey rpc ! lets be honest, datv brought us all back in one way or another either you're a veteran or new, i'm sure there is stuff that has changed or we don't know each other so let's have a game about it to reintroduce each other ! repost this to do the same & tag some pals if you want !

Name / Penname: nora! from eleonora. ppl irl call me ele, but online i've always gone with nora. for veterans, did you go by something previously ? name &/or penname: nope, i'm nora wherever i go. forever. age & gender ( if comfortable sharing ): 27 yrs old, a girliepop 😔 what was your first dragon age muse: idt i had a first muse. i'm p sure i started with a multimuse because of my inability of writing just one (1) character at the time. my fondest memories go to zev.ran, of course. he is and always be my favorite character of the franchise. do you have any other darp muses / blogs: i used to have a single muse blog for my surana (which ended up being a ton of fun while it lasted) but again, i just have too much muse for other little guys and they're constantly rattling the bars of their cages. what muses / blogs do you have outside of darp: i had other multimuses (a hsr one & a general gaming-animanga one but they're inactive rn) and obv my main @malewifezevran ✨ thedas has two moons: and they're lovers 🩷

single line, para, or novella: max i can do is 2k words on a good day chief....... language barrier + my bare ass script writing style don't help. i prefer one-two paras replies. plotting or winging it: i'm a plotting kinda girl. i like to put muses into Situations, but i prefer to figure out a possible dynamic or how the thread might develop with my writing partner ^_^ fighting threads, you bold enough for them? i have written very few in these ten years, but idt i'd mind? my vocabulary might not be as large to get a satisfying one. what content warnings are on your blog?: i honestly try to avoid triggering topics on my blogs, and if there are some, they're in the backstory of my characters which i won't openly write about unless my partner is cool with that. everything gets tagged, obviously. what things do you need tagged for your comfort?: mostly irl nsf.w pictures? those give me a bit of a ick. noncon (i follow nobody who writes it so thankfully i never have to read anything abt it), syringes and childbirth also are big nonos.

shipping preferences: single | multi | no ship | polyship. aw god, i'm THE multishipper. i cherish all kind of dynamics and i think so many characters just have the potential(tm). poly i'd be down only with close friends, cuz i know we can always write to each other/there's plenty of communication. shipping boundaries: never jump on/force a ship with me - we will lose mutualship as it makes me uncomfortable (exception to this rule are close friends with whom the ship has been developed beforehand in dms): i am here for the slow burn. i also don't like +13-15yrs age gaps (but nora, you write emmri- I PLAYED WITH A 46 YRS OLD ROOK, NEXT) and inc3st (duh).

fun facts about yourself that may have changed since in the past ten years: i'm way chiller and i can easily shrug things off than i used to omd. i sadly was one of those 'weh nobody wants to write with me ):' roleplayers and dear lord. thank you for the character development me @ me

be honest, did you miss darp. come on now-- did i.......... uh, i didn't miss it as a whole, but i did miss specific people because it was so fun to thread with them. i'm glad some are back 🥺

challenge round! put a small top five facts unrelated to dragon age ! - - i've been dungeon mastering for 5 years and i'm super proud 🩷 - i'm enjoying dos2 a bit too much and that scares me, chat - i own a big, fat cat named puka - my favorite dessert is the one and only tiramisù despite not being fond of coffee (yes, i got my italian citizenship card revoked for that) - i've never gone ice skating and it breaks my heart........

tagging: @venombloom ; @fatewoven ; @mcurnwatch & @celestrahl 🫵 (if you want to, of course)

[misc-obeyme]

(Hope you don't mind a lil bit of a rant)

As glad as I am that the story & such are gonna be continued past the games, I'm still a bit bummed. I'm not gonna stand here & claim that the games have perfect gameplay or anything, but they were much more accessible for me, personally. I know the comics were/are available (on like one site, or something?), and they say they're gonna do events & merch and such, but man. I've usually got my phone on me. I don't have endless time & money to try and keep up with events and things (not to mention a Twitter/X account, where a lot of news gets spread).

I'm sure there's some folks who're gonna follow the story forward, but for myself I figure I'll just end up leaving the story at a lot of loose ends & dissatisfaction, which is a bummer! (It had some potential, dammit!)

I never mind, please rant all you like.

I believe the comics are on mangaplaza? I think that's where I read the first chapter when it was free. Though they are now available in physical form and I have seen them in actual bookstores lol. I think you can also get them on Amazon.

But I completely understand. Live events are just not it. I'm sure that's great for some people, but do you have any idea how often I've ever gone to a live event? Never.

Even if we don't consider that the events are likely to take place in locations that would require traveling and therefore aren't accessible anyway, I have pretty severe anxiety. I'm going to therapy, but I had to work on not being scared to go outside and get the mail. The OM games were perfect because I got to enjoy this fantasy of being with a bunch of people without that fear. I loved the characters because they were crazy and boisterous and I couldn't handle that irl. Do you really think I'm gonna be able to psych myself up enough to go by myself (because nobody I know irl would go with me) to some event where I would be standing in a crowd of people for hours on end?

So I get you. I'm willing to wait and see if they announce something additional, like a manga or anime or pretty much anything I can consume from the comfort of my own home. (I might even consider on demand video streams of events, depending on what they're doing at said event.) If they do something along those things, then okay, I will make decisions based on time and pricing about whether or not I'm going to participate. But live events are not an option for me.

And honestly I think the only way they could continue the story in a way that has meaning is if they do it in story format. Like if they're going live events, it has to be some kinda play or musical or skit or performance. Because if the goal is furthering the story, then they have to have a vehicle with which to move the plot. But if the goal is just... to make appearances, then we might end up with more concert type situations. So I kinda think it depends on what they do as to whether or not you would be missing out on additional story stuff anyway.

It definitely had potential. But sometimes this is how things happen. It sucks, but what else can we do? Simply continue to enjoy what we have, really.

[kidddoz]

do you have any advice on how to join the lotf fandom and talk about it with people and stuff? nobody I know irl or online likes it and I have no idea how to share headcanons or discuss the fic I'm writing. sorry if this isn't your area of expertise/weird to ask!! in any case I adore your writing and I'm very glad I found you and your mutuals on tumblr to satiate my hunger for silly content ^^

Hi!! Honestly I'm not really sure since I just got here in May/April. My advice is that you just do whatever you want, if you have headcanons, just write them! Same with fics and fanarts, because this is such a nice fandom, you'll always find a lot of support!

To be honest, I just started liking art and following people and that's basically it, there is nothing to lose anyways!

Roasting Jay And Dami's turn

Jenifer looks at the camera, a little disheveled. "I didn't think he meant actual ninjas. I just thought it was some company theme. But unless it's policy to appear unannounced in someone's home, scaring them half to death, I'm gonna chalk that up to being actual ninjas. So anyway, if anybody with that kind of pick-up system wants more figures. I'll make you a box of the figures you can come to pick up as long as you leave a signed note it was delivered and that nobody please scare me like that again. " She lets out a breath. "Anyway, I'm glad to inform you that RH's figures are gonna stay local. As per policy, I can't tell who gets them, but all I'll say is it's a well-known person here in Gotham, So if you know who to ask, you might be lucky to see them IRL. And now lest roast the outfits." RH roast." image here -> https://www.tumblr.com/xxxnightcorequeenxxxv3/742155316927627264/roasting-tim-and-jays-turn?source=share Nr1: "We all know this was supposedly a villain look, and we get that, but why oh why the pill helmet? If you have siblings, you just know they would have borrowed it and a blue cleaning bucket and asked, do you take the red pill or the blue pill, BTW how do you see anything in that? " Nr2: "You know this looks like Captain America has a Chūnibyō phase. You got the A, the flag colors, and the camo IDK where would be useful."

Nr 3: "Do you fear nothing? Cuz that mask is straight nightmare fuel, cuz we are all the way down the uncanny wally with this one." Nr4: "Ths must have been laundry day of the extreme, like did we need to go all the way back to the mid-16th century for that jester look? " Nr5: "This overall is not that bad, but man, bare upper arms when people are shooting bullets at you, and if those ribbons haven't snagged on anything, I'll eat my left shoe." "Applause for the wonderful roasts, and I bet you someone online will (has I need help finding the link plz) draw an image of RH and his hypothetical siblings doing just that. "

Now, on the following 5 figures for sale are these "lovely" robins. You may rost them now.

And I know you all wanna see my designs for some reason, so here it is; please do not rost it, though. Robin colors are hard to work with, but I did my best to stay true to the old colors.

Bonus; Image.

AFoLiS author commentary Part 5-1

Okay, so I'm not going to sit here and re(-re-re-re-)read the entire novel for this, but I'll just have a quick scan for anything I want to comment on.

...okay haha right off the bat I discover I accidentally made a parallel between the very first line of this part and the upcoming one. Please pretend I never said that and that it's all intentional.

After having written parts 3 and 4 at the same time, this was the first time in a while I was writing a story in order and I didn't know where it was going yet. But even early on, we get some hints toward one of the main problems for later. Right in chapter 1, Stelle is weirdly tired, which she's already suspected is related to lacking the Stellaron. But what neither of them are suspicious of yet is Firefly's strength.

“You’ve gotten so strong,” you say, marveling. “I guess PT did its job,” Firefly says, steadying you. “More than that. I don’t think you could have lifted me like that before.” “Well, I am spending a lot more time outside of her than I used to.”

In retrospect, it's interesting that when prompted to talk about her time with Glamoth, Firefly tells stories of what was done to her and of the people she knew – but never of what she herself did. She's not proud of it.

Every one of them deserved to live just as much as me, Stelle. Please remember that. I wasn’t anything special. I was lucky. That’s it.”

I'm so glad that, at least this far, canon has gone this route. I was scared they were going to make her be the Empress, and I think it would have ruined her character.

“No, I’m sure. I’d love you whether you were a girl, a boy, anything else, even an inorganic species. As long as you looked at me the way you do, it wouldn’t change anything.”

As much as part of me wanted to write a story about two lesbian characters, that's not who Firefly is. While I don't agree that Caelus/Stelle are interchangeable, not in the way society views them or what it means for them to do the things they do, there's no denying that Firefly loves either of them exactly the same. In a word, you could call her pan, but then, as she says, "It’s only you." Even she doesn't know who she could have ever ended up with if not for Stelle. Likely nobody.

Probably the most obvious parallel, Part 5 Chapter 3, Stelle:

From different worlds in different eras, and yet she fits me. Maybe this is why I was born.

Chapter 10, Firefly:

You’ll protect her forever. No doubt in the world. Maybe this is why I was born.

And the only one they ever actually discuss openly, in Chapter 25:

“Sometimes,” Stelle finally says, but has to pause to moisten her dry mouth. “Sometimes I think maybe I was born for you.” “Really?” It’s a sweet, if meaningless phrase. Except it’s not meaningless, because… “I’ve thought the same thing about myself.”

Chapter 4 is the first time outside the side stories I was writing Firefly's POV. It took me a while to figure out a voice for her. Early on, she uses a lot of brief sentence fragments, but that's really not accurate to her. In canon, she talks way more flowery than Stelle, and so I eventually dropped that feature. Of course, Chapter 4 was my response to playing 2.3. The beauty of that moment, followed by the crushing emptiness of never getting to say goodbye. I think they really bungled that part. Even if we're going to see her again soon, even if in canon it's only a few weeks to irl's months, it doesn't matter, you say goodbye to someone that important to you.

Part 5 Chapter 4, Firefly:

They made me wrong. They messed up and built a girl to love you.

Chapter 28, Stelle:

Made to hold a Stellaron? Maybe they made me wrong, too.

Stelle helps Firefly dream, but she's interrupted by sleep paralysis. Like I said, I didn't know what I was doing with this story early on, and this... was kinda pointless. If you were looking for a meaningful interpretation of the dream woman, you weren't going to find one, because I didn't have one, which should have been a hint to me to not include it. However. I have one now. And I have made some subtle tweaks to the scene to fit. Instead of "You're new here," the woman now says,

“You’re finally here,” she calls. “But we’re not alone, are we? Our little talk will have to wait.”

Firefly wants so, so bad to be able to Write to Stelle that she keeps pretending she can. She knows how incredible it can feel to have someone love you directly into your mind. I'm jealous too.

“It’s pronounced ‘Vonwacq.’ And why do you keep calling it that?” “Vonn… W…ack.” Stelle tries again. “Waaahk?” “Just like it’s spelled. Vonwacq.”

This is a reference to 1970s sitcom Barney Miller, in which Detective Wojohowitz is constantly exasperated at people not being able to spell or pronounce his name and uses this line, as if it's easy. No, I did not expect anybody to ever catch this except maybe my mom, and she didn't until I told her.

I said it at the time, but the idea of Firefly carrying around hand sanitizer for Stelle is the absolute pinnacle of romance and I'll never beat it. This is the kind of thing she doesn't even think about, because she's so focused on needing to return Stelle's grand gesture of saving her life. But Stelle sees it, and she feels loved for it.

Then in the hotel, we have the first of my more overt references to the subtle homophobia of the world, the feeling othered. The clerk doesn't do anything wrong. She's not trying to be bigoted. But when you're on the receiving end of it over and over, it gets to you. And Stelle shoves back.

And then again later when it comes to getting the check at dinner. I guarantee 99% of people have no clue this is a thing, but let me tell you. When I transitioned? Suddenly. Suddenly every time my now-spouse and I went out, we were getting asked if we needed separate checks. It took me a while to figure out why.

Of course you’ve seen other oceanic worlds. Some of them even still exist.

man I love that line.

In scenes like on the beach the first night, I really figured out how to write the two of them differently, at least for this part. Stelle, having already overcome the worst and saved Firefly, is in a state of euphoria. She's constantly thinking in the most over-the-top, elegant phrases, like

She pulls out the vibrance in every scene she stands before, like a touch of makeup on the face of the world.

While Firefly, still lost in doubt, uses more down-to-earth language. For now. But once she finds her way forward, it all changes.

That’s not the kind of thing you say. You say things like ‘for as long as we can.’ Not anymore. Not for Stelle. Stelle gets ‘forever.’

Then we meet Erik. I wasn't sure if people would catch on immediately that introducing a named OC was a bad sign for his survival chances. Oh, I guess I should say though, I guess I did that again with the mention of March's date at the very end of the story. Don't worry, she's not about to die.

Okay this is too long already. More later.

Dream from 1.10.23

I was really upset about something, I don't know what exactly but I took the day off to basically run away from my problems. I felt really sad and depressed, so I took the train into the city and was just walking around crying. AL and NH were with me, trailing behind me as I walked. Someone had found out, assumed the worst and posted on FB about how I was missing and how nobody could find me. There were people from my life having a discussion in the comments, wondering what could have happened to me. I was mortified by this, why couldn't they just leave me alone? It made me even more unbelievably upset.

I caught the train and ended up somewhere nearby my old house but I was trying to get back to the house I'm currently living in now. I realised I would have to walk back. It's a 20 minute drive by car but it'll be much longer on foot. Randomly, JC appeared and was walking behind me with the two other people that were with me. Then I came to the conclusion that since these people were here and not anyone else, that the other people in my life have never cared about me. I was quite surprised that JC was even here. I came to the realisation that he had always really loved me but had never let it show because (at the time) I was his best friend's girlfriend. Why else had he followed me into the city, other than to make sure I was safe? And how could I never have seen this? I thought about all the the times he had watched me from afar and had seemed to give me longing looks. I just didn't see it at the time (none of this is real IRL, I bet this guy never spared me a second thought).

My friends continue to follow me but keeping a distance away since I was so distraught. No one said anything because I was crying. I didn't want to go 'back'. The FB post regarding my disappearance meant that I would have to let people know that I was alive and not actually missing, very soon. Even though I was annoyed that they wouldn't just forget about me, on some level I was also glad that they cared.

At one point in the day we arrived at a chicken and chip shop to get some food. They were trying to make me eat but I wasn't interested.

In the end, instead of walking back home on foot, I appeared at a train station. The train arrived on our platform but somehow steered into the train tracks for the platform opposite to ours, then slid backward into ours again. It was odd but this train wasn't taking passengers anyway. The train conductor said that this train wasn’t big enough for all the people that would need to get on board, so he had to move this train back to the depot.
