FNaF x DC: the Aftons vs the Gotham Rogue Gallery

(a continuation of this post)

Part Three is now available :D (the brainrot has taken over)

Masterlist

Red Hood: hey, kids have been going missing lately. I haven't been able to find who dunnit yet so be sure to keep Gregory out of the streets

Michael: kids. Going missing?

Michael, thinking: this sounds like a job for a pyromaniac night guard!

Red Hood, finally tracking down the Dollmaker's lair: uhh hi Mike, whatcha doin?

Michael "Constantly Atoning For the Sins of His Past" Afton, messing with the wiring of the building while a group of missing kids huddle around him: making sure that freak goes up in flames

Red Hood: ...cool, want some C4 to go with that?

Michael:

Red Hood:

Michael, realizing there's a more efficient way to do this: you have C4?

Kiteman: *exists, minding his own business, enjoying a scenic flight over the park*

Gregory, dragging a wagon full of God knows what to the nearest roof: hey Freddy look away for a minute, okay?

Glamrock Freddy: Gregory, I cannot help but feel you are about to do something incredibly suspicious, if not outright illegal.

Gregory:

Glamrock Freddy:

Glamrock Freddy: I will remove power to my eyes for one minute.

Gregory: :)

(forty-five seconds later)

Kiteman: *screams, falls from the sky, crashes through a food cart on his way down*

Glamrock Freddy: ...Gregory, what did you do?

Gregory:

Gregory: so you know the saying two birds, one stone?

Glamrock Freddy:

Gregory:

Glamrock Freddy:

Gregory: ...I got you a wingsuit!

Glamrock Freddy, disappointed: Gregory.

Nightwing and Scrap Baby: *still arguing over clown etiquette*

Joker, thinking that Nightwing is distracted and that this is a good opportunity to pull a "shenanigan": hrnngnn hello Gotham citizens! I planted Joker venom in a school and a hospital! Whichever place evacuates first gets the other place gassed hehaugha!

Scrap Baby, staring at the Joker in a way that can only be described as judgemental:

Nightwing, breaking off his rant to also stare at the Joker:

Scrap Baby:

Nightwing:

Scrap Baby: so we can both agree that that's not a clown, right?

Nightwing, pulling out his escrima sticks: oh, absolutely

Red Hood, explaining how he died to Michael: -and that's why I hate clowns.

Michael: yikes

Michael, trying to figure out what kind of ghost/undead Red Hood is: do you want...revenge?

Red Hood: well yeah but B's super stingy about how many guys I can off per year

Michael: ...do you have to kill the clown for your revenge to be satiated?

Red Hood:

Red Hood: ...no

Michael: cool :)

Michael, checking his FazWatch as he waits outside the gates of Arkham: hm, this is taking longer than I thought

Red Robin: heyyy Mike whatcha doin out here

Michael: waiting on my brother and his friend :)

Batman, Concerned™: Michael, did you send Gregory into Arkham?

Michael: no of course not, I would never be so irresponsible!

Batman and Red Robin, thinking the situation isn't that bad: *breathing a sigh of relief*

Michael: Do you know how much physical and psychological damage he'd cause?

Batman and Red Robin: ...

Michael, not reading the room: maybe I should send him in there. For enrichment, if nothing else

Red Robin, putting pieces together: wait, what's Golden Freddy doing in Arkham?? Isn't it just an empty suit???

Batman, thinking: please don't make me explain this to Gordon. Please don't make me explain this to Gordon.

Michael: oh he's there for revenge! :D

Batman:

Batman: *deep, deep sigh*

Batman: explain.

Michael: well, there are different types of ghosts, right?

Michael: you met the Puppet, she's a protector

Michael: and I'm a mix of atonement and protection

Michael: but my brother's friend is a vengeful spirit!

Michael: ...and she kind of maybe imprinted on Red Hood pleasedon'tbemad

Batman: *very long sigh*

Batman: if anyone's dead, it's your fault.

Michael, knowing it'll only be the Joker: ...I can live with that

Golden Freddy: *appears* ITSME

Red Robin: *jumps four feet in the air*

Michael: well you sure decided to take your time!

Golden Freddy:

Michael: yeah yeah whatever

Michael: did you have fun?

Golden Freddy: :)

Gordon: so the Joker's dead because...?

Batman: ...it's complicated.

Gordon, eyeing him suspiciously: not that I'm complaining about the Joker being dead but whoever did it must've been an expert, they got in and out without being seen and distorted the cameras while they were in his cell

Batman, knowing it was a child:

Mr. Freeze, cornering Michael: tell me the secret to eternal life!

Michael: heh???

Mr. Freeze: you have discovered a way to live forever, now share it with me so I can save my wife!

Michael:

Michael: okay well first off I didn't do crap-

Michael, experiencing constant harassment from Mr. Freeze: can you get lost already?

Mr. Freeze: I think you know the answer to that.

Michael, increasingly fed up with Freeze's toddler mindset: fine, you wanna know?

Mr. Freeze, excited: finally!

Michael: eternal life is a curse, not a gift,

Mr. Freeze: heh?

Michael: I mean look at me I'm literally a walking corpse held together with duct tape,

Michael: and don't even get me started on how I got here,

Michael: all I did was trust someone close to me,

Michael: and you know what happened?

Mr. Freeze:

Michael: I died!

Michael: and then a pile of robot spaghetti violated my body!

Mr. Freeze, backing away slowly: what the [ERROR: REPLACE: OEDIPUS]

Michael, watching him go:

Michael: well that was easy

Michael: should've done that ages ago

Scrap Baby, meeting Harley for the first time: you're a clown too!!

Harley, trying to compliment her: aww no you're a clown!

Harley: love your hair btw

Nightwing, very pointedly: yeah Harley's an actual clown cause she went to clown school

Scrap Baby: !!! Clown school!!!

(Harley and Scrap Baby having a therapy session)

Scrap Baby, lamenting: it took me so long to realize I didn't need to do everything Father said

Harley: aw yeah the patriarchy is deeply ingrained in society, but you don't need a man to be evil! You can be a villain all on your own!

Harley, raising a glass: anyways cheers to recognizing the most important man in your life was a manipulative [£√√@√]!

Scrap Baby, clinking her own glass against Harley's: to female villain empowerment!

Red Robin, listening in and comprehending the chaos Nightwing unleashed: oh Jesus Christ

[ven0moir]

So, Bychance is on my radar and ... I think it'll actually happen.

Disclaimer, I realize this is me going full unhinged mode and some of this might be because I'm so bored lately but the more I think about where we left Will off in S4, the more I think Will might actually take a chance ( lmao? ) to be with someone new, even if deep down he knows it's not in his best interests--it'll be more a coping mechanism, an attempt to move on from Mike, and without realizing he might be repeating the pattern of his parent's relationship due to trauma.

This will ultimately result in growth for him, of course, and the breaking of these cycles. Will Byers will be free in the end, but the road there won't be easy.

So here we go--by the leaks of Holly being taken, and the outfits they are wearing, we can infer S5 Byler will mirror S1 Jancy.

Yeah. And how did Nancy start S1?

Having a one-time, two-time secretive thing with a jock ( bully ) that left a note in her locker at the start of the season.

Something something bullies leaving a note in Will's locker at the start of the season.

Something something a bully leaving a note at the start of S5 in Will's locker with a place and time to meet.

And what is one of the most noticeable things that Stancy and Mileven have in common?

Yeah, they start seemingly very passionate, only to fall apart later. Add Bychance to that mix.

Now, about the place and time where Chance and Will likely secretly meet. At first I thought it would be Benny's Burger.

Benny's Burger, which also foreshadows Mike telling Eleven something about her Benny Burger's t-shirt in EP9. It is also established in these screenshots that Benny's Burger is a place commonly used for people to hang out, likely teenagers, to engage in illegal things like drinking ( and probably more, the 69 poster above Lucas' head notwithstanding )

We also have the whole 'WE ❤️ TIGERS' posters, and Christmas Lights which we have come to associate with Will, as it has been established that this is Will's favorite holiday as well.

However, Chance and Will would have to be extra careful not to get caught, so chances are they'll go for places that aren't frequented ...

Now, the main question is, why Chance? And I'll admit this is all oh so fairly loose and likely a reach, but if we are to believe Will is going to have a secret thing with a bully, then out of all of the ones introduced in S4, Chance is the one that I'd dare to say we can connect Will with through symbolism, albeit vague.

The first time we see Chance, we see the poster 'Defeat The Falcons' closer to him than anyone else on the team even though he was on the bench.

Now, correct me if Im wrong, but if there is an association with Mike and falcons, then it could hint at Mike having lost to chance this season. Foreshadowing he loses to a literal Chance next season? Since Chance didn't come out the bench this season. Yikes. Good luck, Mike. You're gonna need it.

We also notice he's sporting the number 22 in his shirt ( which considering the attention brought to t-shirts this season, I'd say this means something, especially bc 22 is Will's birthday and it is also speculated to be the date of the Creel Murders -- Chance and Will meeting at the Creel House oh god ... ).

Speaking of 22, this scene is interconnected with Will in California through music--it does have a similar context in which both Lucas and Will feel abandoned by their friends. But we also see what you could argue is an extra that is supposed to remind us of Chance behind Will wearing a shirt ( again with the shirts ) that says 'I love contact sports'

Moments before, we *just* saw Chance next to Lucas, in the same spot we see Mike as well--as if the two are being compared. ( Tiger vs Falcon? )

We know Will is associated with tigers, but we can also infer that he loves tigers, which connects him to the 'WE ❤️ YOU TIGERS' poster in Benny's Burgers.

This is as far as I have gone in my analysis, but I might rewatch S1 and S3 at one point to follow along the narrative patterns and see if I can uncover more.

My guess right now is if Bychance is established early on, then it might go for about a couple episodes before it inevitably crashes and burns--with Will being the one to end things, and then Byler happens at the end in a way that pays off.

RE JUSTIN X SELENA DRAMA ANALYSIS

As usual,this post is going to be a deep dive psychoanalysis of Justin Selena and Blanco's situation. If you are looking for a history and chronological development or even break down of their relationship kindly stop reading this and find it else where before you come back to this.

In this post, I talk mainly about why I think they broke up, where their heads are at and whether or not those two can or even should get back together.

I like to consider myself a Selena fan- but may be not so deep a fan to set up a fan page for her and post daily about her. Still a fan nonetheless.

She's cute. Pretty and has produced some of my most iconic and all time favorite songs.

I like Justin's songs too.

Maybe once upon a phase, I was crazy about him as an artist. He has talent and I have a ton of respect for that talent. Wouldn't consider myself necessarily a fan. And as far as my personal opinion of him goes, yes I do consider him a shitty person who's done some shitty things in the past.

That said, I still look back at my childhood with fond memories of him. After all, he is THE JUSTIN BIEBER. He was the moment yesteryear and he's served as an icon for an entire generation of people and will forever be remembered as such.

On Hailey Bieber....

Honestly I don't know who she is outside her relationship with Justin and outside this whole pop teen trio drama debacles.

But I'm sure she's accomplished something outside of this bubble besides being the daughter of a famous actor and subsequently, wife of a famous pop star or even rival of yet another famous female celebrity.

She's a model...

Sigh, as a feminist, I hate to evoke yet again another famous female celebrity and model to describe her or give credence to her accomplishments in terms of her career and so I won't mention any of the famous models I know she is friends with and through whom I may have gotten introduced to her as a model in some shape and form.

But I want to keep this analysis as honest as possible and my honest impression of her is this, I neither like her nor hate her. Everything I know about her I have come to know against my will. She is stunning, looks wise of course and I wish I knew her outside being linked to some famous man be it her father or husband. And listen I tried, all my searches linked her back to her father, Justin and Selena.

As a woman, there's nothing empowering about that if I'm keeping it honest.

That said, I think I have a lot of respect for all of them as human beings and would want everyone to have that same modicum of respect for them coming into this discourse.

I'll start with Justin and Selena.

I just remembered I forgot to introduce Benny Blanco. Yikes. Well, he's Benny Blanco. Apparently he is a funny guy, didn't know that. All I knew before all of this was, he was an amazing producer and of course he worked with BTS and that's what mainly put him on my radar.

Now back to Selena and Justin.

As a Selena fan, can we please stop shipping him with Justin? Please and thank you. I beg you in the name of God, let's let some things go. It's on the past. Let's stop holding on to certain things that no longer serves us or them. It's annoying and embarrassing.

I hate that every single day those two breath we make it all about eachother when they each clearly have lives outside of being exes.

Now let's get to the Tea.

What happened with Justin and Selena?

Nothing that doesn't happen to the rest of us mortal beings- Growth.

I keep saying this. Couples that don't grow together grow apart. And when you have a couple who started out as young as those two were, they were doomed from the start.

I'm gonna go off on a limp and say, those two failed in their relationship because they couldn't grow together. But it was more than that. They both wanted and valued different things in the relationship.

It makes sense. They were two separate individuals raised by different families with different cultural backgrounds. And unfortunately, they couldn't develop the self awareness care and maturity to handle those differences and so their relationship was fraught with miscommunication, misunderstandings and unnecessary drama.

Justin is someone who believes love is unconditional. That love isn't predicated on reciprocity. He actually ones said love shouldn't be a give and take relationship dynamic.

I disagree with him but then again we all have our own desires and understanding of what love is. Personally, I think a lot of men assume love is unconditional, sometimes even one sided while most women think of love as an equal mutual give and take dynamic.

And I think this is what sets Blanco and Selena's relationship apart. They both share that same notion of love as hinging on reciprocity. Then again Blanco was raised by his mother and most of his beliefs about love and romance is steming from his relationship with his mother.

I think the feelings they both had for each other was real but they both learned the hard way that feelings aren't enough to make relationships work.

If one person thinks love is supposed to be unconditional, they tend to value certain things as part of their love language. Forgiveness is number one. If you love me unconditionally, then you'll forgive my mistakes. You'll care no matter how careless thoughtless and reckless I am with your love.

I think that's why Justin gravitates towards Hailey. I don't know much about her but I do see her as the type who loves unconditionally, accepts you for who you are and readily forgives your wrongs.

If that's who she is she is admirable and has a good heart.

Unfortunately, that can also create a very toxic situation where the one who loves unconditionally rolls over into a doormat who accepts all manner of nonsense, forgives things they ought not forgive and fail to hold their partners accountable for their actions.

They are also the kind who tend to be fixer uppers. Bob the builder. And can be very enabling in a relationship.

I know this from personal experience my mom and sister are exactly like this and I've had a few friends like this as well.

While having good intentions, they may enable bad behaviors in you because they don't want to change you and want to accept you as you are even to their own detriment.

They let you have your way all the time and you you soon find they don't challenge you to be better versions of yourself and if you don't make a conscious effort to do better you might be stuck in your comfort zone.

On the flip side, dating someone who believes love is reciprocal, mutual and earned can feel like you're constantly on the edge of your seat. They can feel too demanding, and even make you feel the relationship is transactional. That if you don't give them abc you won't get abc back.

They demand effort and investment and they can make you feel as if they are constantly teaching you how to love or be better as if you are not better or doing the right things all the time.

They can appear difficult to please especially if you are someone who don't know what the fuck you are doing.

Goes without saying that such a relationship will be prone to arguments break ups etc.

I feel that was the kind of dynamic Justin and Selena had which explains their tumultuous dynamic.

Personally, I don't know why Selena isn't a lesbian. She's more likely to find the kind of love she wants from another woman or in Blanco's case, in a highly emotionally intelligent man. Which, good for her cos Blanco is that guy. And he's kinda growing on me too.

A relationship like that can be very healing.

The downside to dating based on mutual consideration and reciprocity is that, it can be boring sometimes. I know a lot of people yearn for this kind of relationship but take it from someone who's been in both ends, a relationship like that can quickly escalate into codependency or leave you feeling there's no spark or passion especially when that phase of feeling healed passes.

It takes a lot of work and self awareness to make such a relationship progress beyond a certain point on the curve.

On a deeper psychological level, I think there was a bit of a power struggle between Justin and Selena as well. And I mean, it was bound to be the case giving their differences in views on love and relationships.

I ever spoke about this once with a friend, women like Selena Gomez as beautiful as they are and as successful as they are can make the men they are with feel powerless in a relationship.

Most men like to feel they have all the power in a relationship but nothing strips them off that power faster than the beautiful successful females they fall in love with.

Yes you're hot and beautiful and being with you make them feel like they are king of the jungle, the baddest but...

They can't be seen as the weaker one in their relationship with you because that diminishes the value being with you bestows on them in the first place.

Yes, you are the price but their proximity to you makes them THE PRICE. And that can quickly swell their egos and their egos will in turn ruin the relationship.

Not every man can separate their ego from their insecurities. In normal relationship dynamics, men will chase the women. But if you are a successful beautiful woman like Selena, they expect you to chase them to make them feel validated and not doing that can make them feel powerless.

Your success risks reminding them constantly that they are a failure unsuccessful, unearthing insecurities they didn't even know they had.

You miss their call once and it's suddenly, she thinks better than me or she's too big a star to pick my calls now huh.

Oh she thinks she's a diva.

And such men will quickly descend into your biggest competitors if not enemies. They will berate you, tear you down. Belittle you. Publicly humiliate you. They start competing with you, trying to humble you just to make themselves feel better.

Not many men can date successful female stars who are just as big or even bigger than them. It rarely works out.

So to me, I find such men who though deeply insecure still go after women like Selena as men who objectify these women.

There isn't any true genuine emotional investment there. They just want them for the status being with such a woman can give them.

It's like being branded a party girl, all they want to do with you is party and have fun with zero intentions of committing to you.

Now I'm not saying Justin went after Selena just for the status: by status I mean to make himself seem cool in a queen for a king type situation, no.

But I do think at some point he did decide he couldn't commit long term to her and failed to disclose that. For whatever reason.

Whether it was because he didn't think they shared the same values and understanding of life and love, whether he thought he was never going to be good enough for her, whether it was out of fear and insecurity over his own future, we'll never know.

He and Hailey didn't just happen out of the blues. It didn't. He just failed to disclose that.

Whatever his reason, I think it was valid then and valid now. No I don't think he made a mistake. Yes I think the love was real and genuine. No I don't think it had anything to do with Hailey or Selena. It was all him.

He made that choice for himself and I don't think he's going to regret it.

He is who he is. His fears desires and insecurities are all very valid. If unconditional love is what he wants he has every right to go after it. But I hope he learns love is a two way street. That he has to GIVE just as much as HE TAKES.

If he felt he wanted someone he could trust to stay committed to him regardless of who he was, regardless of if he was no longer Justin Beiber and the world had forgotten him and that person to him (and obviously to us) was Hailey, that's fair.

Let's not impose Selena on him or him on Selena.

And it's clear to me, Selena maybe was thinking they would be forever. Maybe she wasn't as attuned to his mental struggles about their relationship and maybe she thought she was seeing growth in him with each comeback and she took those micro changes and effort as interest and commitment towards something.

I think she was totally blindsided.

But then again, if a relationship can blindside you like this then maybe it wasn't all that you thought it was. He wasn't who you thought he was.

I feel her pain. She might be going into these relationships with good intentions but she ends up being objectified by these men who can't see past their own egos, insecurities and selfish needs.

There was no consideration whatsoever in the way Justin handled this situation almost as if he was trying to break her to get his power back.

I wish them all the best.

Now algorithm please stop recommending those rich white people to me I'm minding my black broke business 😩

25. “Don’t look at me like that. You asked for this.” 

48. “God, you’re like a bitch in heat. Do you even realize how desperate you look, riding my thigh like that?”

62. “One last time. Please. I—I need one last touch.” 

“Don’t look at me like that. You asked for this”

Your heart clenches

Inhumanly white eyes pierce through you

Where once, they would’ve been filled with nothing but love and admiration, his gaze now burns with anger and disdain

You’re on the verge of tears

You can’t lose him

Not like this

Dear God, not like this!

His lips curl over his sharp teeth in a sneer, and with a huff, he turns away from you

“Jack!”

You reach out and grab his arm in a rush of panic

He stops dead in his tracks, and the way his body tenses has your blood going cold

You’re suddenly reminded of what he is; a monster

He had loved you at one point, cared for you, protected you

But somehow, that’d changed, and now, here you are, faced with the monstrous part he previously would’ve never bared towards you

You swallow thickly

You can’t help but notice how sharp his claws are as he curls his hands into a fist

Sharp like knives

“P-please”

Your voice is uneven when it escapes you, so you try again

“One last time. Please. I—I need one last touch”

It’s a long shot, you know it is

But you’ll take whatever you can get

Any second longer—you’ll beg for scraps of his attention if you need to

There’s a growl from deep within his chest, something low and rumbly and dangerous

Some part of your brain tries to tell you to let him go

But you don’t want to listen

You need him

You stay rooted in place, even when he turns to face you, even when his intimidating form towers over you menacingly

“Jack,” you breathe his name

And you know you’re so, so incredibly pathetic right now, begging him to touch you as he’s about to leave you

But you don’t care

It doesn’t matter—none of it does

You just need him one last time

He snorts, and your heart shatters, thinking he won’t even give you this one last bit of closure

His clawed hand grips at your cheek, threatening to piece flesh

You wince, closing your eyes

But then his lips are on yours, and your mind is going blank at the feeling

He kisses you roughly—fervently

You sigh against him, your hands following a familiar path to his jagged locks to tug him in even closer

He growls again, but it doesn’t scare you like it did before

You want him—monstrous side and all

His teeth scrape at your lips, filling your mouth with the taste of copper

You’ve no doubt it was on purpose

But you don’t care

You tug at him, tug at his hair, his clothes, anything you can get your hands on

You know you don’t have much time left with him, but right now, it doesn’t matter

He’s yours

He’s all yours right now

You push yourself against him, trying to minimize the distance between the two of you to nothing

He backs up a few paces as you do, and you’re almost disappointed, before he pulls you into him for you to follow

Claws at your hips, you’re yanked against him until you lose your balance and topple into him

You land on his lap, and you realize he must’ve done it on purpose because the couch is beneath him and you’re straddling his thighs just perfectly

You groan into the kiss

Heat pools in your stomach, making your sex clench eagerly already

He’s barely done anything and you’re already so needy for him

His grip is bruising, his kiss hard enough to make your head spin

When his tongue parts your lips to taste you, you squeeze your legs together and whimper

It seems he’s still not immune to you, because when he hears the sound you make, you feel his bulge twitch against your hips

You’re practically frenzied

Your body moves on its own to grind down on his leg

Anything to feel him—to relieve the ache that’s driving you insane

He breaks the kiss, a strand of saliva splitting between the two of you as he does

And it’s filthy, but you can’t help but love it

“God, you’re like a bitch in heat. Do you even realize how desperate you look, riding my thigh like that?”

There’s a bite to his words as he says it

You don’t care

You’ll be as desperate as it takes if it means he’ll fuck you again

You drag his hands up from your hips to press them both to your chest

“P-please~ Please, Master, fuck me~”

Bringing up the old pet name gets you just the reaction you wanted

He snaps, flips you on your back, and in an instant, you find yourself naked beneath him

The growl that escapes him is dangerously threatening, but all that does is coax you to spread your legs so that he can just fuck you already

One hand wraps around your throat, encompassing it completely until his fingers are touching the back of your neck

And with his other hand, he quickly undoes his pants to free his hard-on

You’re barely given a second to appreciate the sight of him before he’s plunging it all the way into your tight little cunt

He’s so big

Even now, wet as you are for him, it still takes a few thrusts to finally split you open for the entirety of his shaft

Your jaw goes slack, eyes rolling back and your chest arching up into him

You knew he wasn’t planning on going easy on you

But nothing could’ve prepared you for the way he almost immediately pulls out, just to slam all the way back into you

You aren’t given any time to adjust

Hell, you’re hardly given any time to catch your breath between rough slams of hips into yours

It’s like he’s trying to fuck you in half

Your hands try to grip at him, at the couch beneath you—anything—but there’s nothing you can do to help keep you grounded

“I’m gonna break you,” he growls, and you hardly have the mental capacity to listen, but you force yourself to hang off of his every word as he uses you

“Gonna break you so that no one else will ever be able to make you feel as good”

You make some pathetic whimper because fuck, you’re going to cum already

“I’ll ruin that pretty little cunt”

His hand around your neck tightens and you feel yourself getting lightheaded

Lips parted, eyes clouded over, you gasp for air, and he uses the opportunity to lean over and spit into your mouth

You clench around him and cum—hard

He doesn’t relent as you do

If anything, it only encourages him to use you harder

“You won’t fucking forget who you belong to, no matter how many people you try to date after me”

His words blur together as your body tenses with the rush of endorphins

It’s like you can’t stop shaking, can’t stop yourself from trying to milk him through your orgasm

The way he snarls and growls above you, hips shamelessly pistoning into your inviting heat—it’s too much

“(Y/n)—“

You nearly cum again when he growls your name

His hand leaves your neck, and you’re about to gasp for air when he suddenly forces his lips on yours again

When you kiss him back, his pace falters for the first time, and you know he’s getting close

You’re almost grateful because you don’t know how much more you can take

“Beg,” he snarls when he breaks the kiss, “beg for me to cum inside you. Beg for me to defile you”

You open your mouth, but all that escapes is a sickly slew of moans and whimpers

It seems to anger him, and with a growl, he crams more of his length as deep into you as he can

He’s hitting your cervix

“P-please! Please!”

Tears blur your vision as you cry out for him

Too much—it’s too much!

“Jack—please cum inside me!”

With one last deep snarl, he snaps his hips all the way forward, and then you feel him twitch as he empties himself inside you

It’s euphoric

You don’t want it to end, don’t want him to stop

Even if you physically can’t handle it, you want more

You wriggle beneath him, as if that could make him stay longer

But it’s over all too quickly as he pulls out

You snap your legs shut before his cum can leak out

“Jack, please… Don’t go”

Your quiet plea falls on deaf ears

“You lost your chance, (y/n)” he snarls

There’s a mix of lust and disdain in his eyes as he looks down at you

"We’re done”

-Years after the dust settled, something lies waiting from the depths of code. Something twists and deforms, growing more bitter and angry. A place deep within the smallest collections of Ones and Zeros.

-Did plugging in that steering wheel come without consequences?

-Can Turbo and Scarlet really be gone?

-Aren't you lucky! You just found Queen Scarlet. And she's just delighted to know who you are and just how you can get her out of this lonesome place. AU- Royal Family (The aftermath of it of course) (Basically a rewrite of the god awful sequel. YIKES.)

Quick rundown of Royal Family AU- Turbo and Scarlet run away together after RoadBlasters and hide out before taking over Sugar Rush. The events of the movie still happen, but now Scarlet is there. Vanellope takes the role of their daughter, and is still in the princess role. She's not permitted to drive, of course. Turbo and Scarlet's boss fight consists of their creepy conjoined form before they die together. ( For this blog's sake, I'll say Turbo and Scarlet created Velocity after the events of the movie, so right when they're rebooted to the internet.) RULES:

-Don't spam the inbox, please. Only so much this code can take!

-NO NSFW. Let's keep it PG-13.

-Nothing with Homophobia, Racism, Pedophilia, Incest, etc

-Please do not start any arguments or attack anyone

-I can't promise I'll be quick with answers, but I will try to keep up and get an answer to you all!

-Try to keep it in the realm of Royal Family AU. I'm not including any other ones for this blog (Though that may change. Only time will tell!)

-WARNINGS- I will be including gore, blood, violence, smoking, alcohol, and swearing.

Thank you! You're now welcome to poke Scarlet with a stick! She might eat it though-

Heads up seven up

Wow these certainly build up when you're not consistently drafting/making large edits, don't they!

Not to worry! Replying to everyone at once!! Because I'm unfortunately the kind of person who wants to reply to everyone who tags me no matter how late...despite most of y'all probably forgetting completely about this...

The thing is, I was setting this up when I didn't think my break for world building would be *checks calendar* yikes, a few months?! And I'm not even anywhere near done?? So after finding a stopping point, I went back to revising TSP. Thank God.

And it didn't seem fair to stop keeping track of these. So here it is: all tags I've gotten for this game since March! See below.

Rules 1: post the last seven lines you wrote/edited

Alright so I actually got two different versions of this. The original purpose of the game (cast majority), and a new one (only a few).

Rules 2: post seven facts about your world

Version One - last seven lines

Alium's Earth rotates the opposite direction, meaning the sun goes from west to east.

This is the last bit of the add-on to Robbie vs Jason:

From The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

To be fair, I don’t pay attention most of the time, and I was focused on punching Jason. “But he did this!” Jason protested, pointing at the Jason-sized dent. Ms. Loudermilk reached inside her classroom and then pulled out a bag of sports balls. “Thank you, Isana,” Ms. Bradley said. “That’s not all, miss!” Jason interjected. “He also glowed and threw me across the hall and made the lights flicker!”

Version Two - seven facts

Alium's calendar only has six days in a week.

Alium is divided into 10 Sectors.

Alii children get their powers when they are ten years old.

Alium and Ceteri were two separate universes that crashed into each other, forming trillions of portals throughout the universe.

There are 20 powers in the Alii database, though two more are found throughout the series.

It is common practice for Alii children take the surname of the parent with the higher-Level power, or how many subpowers an Alii has. If it's equal, the Alii with the greater Class, or rarity, typically passes down their surname. If both are the same, the parents will usually hyphenate.

I love love love your revamp au, and you haven't said to stop sending you characters, so hopefully you're still doing it. If you are, can you do cupid?

Thanks! I am indeed still doing it! It’s not really an event, I'm willing to talk anytime about the RamblesRevamp, so as long as I keep getting asks about it, I'll keep answering them.

As for your question, Cupids is a character I tend to go back and forth with in consideration to both her crush on Dexter and her relationship to ever after as a whole. I made this post a while back covering the basics of Cupid and how I mostly just took her monster high origin of being assigned to the school to help with student relationships and pasted it onto eah. Really, I just wanted to sever the ties between monster high and ever after high for this AU because I just didn’t feel like I could juggle the world building implications of it. Beyond that however there are a few avenues with Cupid I think would be interesting to take: 

Cupid’s destiny is a part of the myth cycle which covers everything from universal creation to universal destruction and revolves every billions of years in comparison to the generational fairytale cycle. She is training for a role that she won’t play out for a very long time, and for a world that will only come after the destruction of this one. She didn’t even really need to go to ever after high now (aging is a bit weird for “immortals” - Cupid’s aging is declining at an exponential rate each year, meaning she’ll be a teen for a bit longer than her peers and eventually sometime after she’ll just age so slowly it seems like it stopped), but she was sent to the school anyways by her family because Eros felt like she needed to learn about how she needs to embrace every part of being a love god, including the “less nice” parts like using lead arrows to make people averse to one another like when Eros strikes Daphne with a lead arrow and causes her to hate the idea of being pursued by Apollo so much she turned into a tree (bit more to that story but you get the gist). Cupid has never liked the idea of using her powers to cause hatred, and is even iffy about using the golden arrows of love because she truly feels love is something that two people have to choose for themselves, not something she can choose for them. It’s why she has her show; she’s much more willing to lead camels to water and let them decide if they want to drink or not as opposed to picking up a camel and dunking it into the deep end. And as such Cupid for her part does not learn the lesson her father wants her to learn, and instead leans hard in the opposite direction when she sees how catastrophically messed up everyone's platonic and romantic relationships are under the constraints of the destiny system. She takes one look at the student body and goes yikes™ and immediately decides that what this school needs is more love and freedom of choice, not less. Which gets her in trouble during true hearts day, as not only does her throwing the party act as one big insult to the destiny system and the idea that she has to play with everyone’s feelings to do her job, but she is specifically tasked by both Grimm and her father to shoot Ashlynn and Hunter with lead arrows after they are brought back from running away, something she refuses to do. Her friends are people dammit, she isn’t going to force them to feel one way or another. Eros doesn’t understand this (not in an evil sense - he’s just got the same problem many immortals have where if you live for too long that the concept of a person starts to get blurry. Mortal lifespans are so short, so most immortals don’t really think it’s possible for mortals to have rich internal lives on the scale they do. Grimm has a similar but uniquely distinct version of this issue, although that should probably be its own post) but does relent in letting Cupid stay at ever after high under the impression that this is just a “folly of youth” and will be set right soon enough once she’s matured enough. Things mostly calm down for Cupid after that, but she still makes it her goal to help out her friends when their having relationship issues and ends up helping Daring a lot after his true-loves-kiss-didn’t-work breakdown. 

Cupid still has her crush on Dexter but it’s less intense and shorter lived. Because Dexter was one of the first people she’d met at the school to see her as a person first and future love goddess second, she attached herself pretty quickly to him. But as the story goes on her crush slowly fades out as she realizes not only that Dexter has a crush on Raven but also that Dexter doesn’t really know who he is inside. He’s constantly fighting the battle between the Charming standards he was raised with and looks up to but is always second best at and his internal self, and since Cupid fell for him due to the prince charming act, she doesn’t really think it would be fair to either of them if she were to pursue a relationship with him. She doesn’t want to make him feel like he has to be prince charming for her, his family, or really anyone. 

Cupid and Faybelle have a complex and confusing relationship that only makes sense to them and literally no one else. Its 1 part understanding that they're both going to be living for a very long time so they should get used to each other, 1 part knowing that the other feels things very deeply and being either too elated or too uncomfortable with that fact depending on the situation, and a million parts of knowing the other is lying wildly about their own feelings all the damn time and as such are immediately able to see through the mask. Cupid looks at this semi-immortal blue girl with feelings radiating off her at such a rate it should be choking the atmosphere wearing a crueler version of her own smiley mask and straight up freezes. She doesn't know if what she's feeling is empathy, self-loathing, or barely restrained violence but she does know that being around Faybelle too long is like being around a mirror of her loneliest past self on Olympus and she is going to get her to accept that it's ok to have genuine feelings that aren't evil adjacent dammit because that what…friends?...frenemies?... two people who know the other is a hypocrite about their core philosophy when it comes to themselves? Do. They are either going to be the best partners in crime or trying to end one another, and no one knows the criteria for which it’s gonna be each time they're in a room together. Tbh,  if I don’t end up going the bribelle route for this au then I might go for a CupidxFaybelle route simply because Faybelle being able to tell that Cupid will preach following your heart and showing your true feelings but won't follow it herself all while being unable to even use it as insult material because Cupid 100% knows she loves and cares about others more than she lets on and she can’t have that out in the world ruining her pride interest me so much.

- Mulder hiding under a truck and sneaking around a military base like a secret agent while wearing a leather jacket???

- see this is what happens when you go investigating without Scully

- I'm sorry I cannot take Mulder seriously as mr tough guy, he's just so baby

- ah here comes Scully to rescue his ass

- uhhhh is that an invisibility thing

- ok immune to laser fence thing

- "it won't get away" already did my guy

- or maybe it didn't?

- the face that soldier Jackson is making is rage inducing, please stop

- welp, the entity made my wish come true I guess

- Mulder is so sweet 😭

- y'all the lenses they're using as the pov for the entity is making me sick

- Scully is so sick of this shit XD

- wtf is it doing to him??

- seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to take one human, I wonder why they're doing it

- I wish we got more insight into Scully's thoughts through all this. She's been seeing a loooot of stuff since she got paired with Mulder and given her skepticism, I'd just really like to know what's going through her head in all this.

- Eve

- ooooo, vampire??

- CLONES???

- well, I'm a little confused as to why they're killing them by draining their blood still

- ah ok so the little girls DID do it

- why tf would she try again knowing what the other Eves were like. Why are people obsessed with making perfect humans, what's the point of life if not to learn and grow?

- man they are playing them like a damn fiddle!!

- uh oh

- WHY WOULD YOU LICK IT

- hey now, that better not be who I think it is

- god damn it, it is

- yeesh what an episode

- this show is nothing but cliff hangers wtf!!!

- Fire

- OH

- who tf is that and why is she smooching Mulder

- yes she does hate you, your smooching her weirdo

- where tf do I know her from?

- is that Crowley????

- I couldn't tell with the facial hair before I thought he just looked similar, but without it yeah!

- ahhhhhh I don't like these zoom inssss

- ah yes smoke a cigarette when you have a cough, that'll help

- interesting

- you tell him Michael!!!

- seriously? They can't drive themselves even once??

- I REMEMBER WHERE I KNOW HER FROM. She played the woman that chief Vick set Henry Spencer up with in Psych!!

- BRUH, DO NOT HOOK UP WITH HER

- Scully came anyway 😭

- maybe if y'all weren't MAKING OUT AT WORK, you would've noticed!!!

- you got this Mulder come on

- come on Mulder!!!!

- damn it dude

- so she's been hitting on Mulder the entire time while having an affair with the husband???

- man this guy really gets typecasted huh, first this pyrokinetic serial killer, then the king of hell!

- yes Mulder!! Face your fears!!!

- welp, looks like his cockiness killed him. Do we finally get an actual ending???

- nope he's alive, great

- a hyperbaric chamber?? You mean the thing filled with a fuck ton of oxygen??? So smart, definitely not INCREDIBLY FLAMMABLE.

- Beyond the Sea

- GENERAL HAMMOND????

- Scully's dad is General fuckin Hammond????

- he died :(

- THE FACE TOUCH

- oh shit, is the death of her father gonna be the thing that gets her to believe?

- "he was your father" that really does not answer her question

- I feel like I recognize Boggs from somewhere

- how tf is a prisoner allowed to have earrings. Also, he only had 1 in the first couple shots but now he has 2.

- now he has 1 again? Maybe they just had that one shot flipped so it looked like the other ear

- OOOO MULDER YOU SLY DOG

- OH FUCK

- Scully please don't go in there alooooone what is with these two!!!

- OH FUUUUCK

- dude the guy playing Boggs can fucking ACT like DAMN

- BERNIE, the dude that plays Boggs also played Bernie in Psych!!!

- HELL YEAH SCULLY

- it's so compelling to see what Mulders limits are in his belief, that he can blind himself to things he would ordinarily fight for others to see because of his history with the person

- she didn't go??

- he's trying to convince her to believe now? He's been denying it the whole episode!!!

- weird episode

- Genderbender

- uhhh I'm a bit scared of what this is gonna be about by that title, fingers crossed it's not transphobic shit and just a shapeshifter 🤞

- ok so yes a shapeshifter, and like, a succubus?

- uh oh

- so I'm guessing these people adopted this way of life to prevent hurting people? And this other one that's killing people has gone rogue?

- ah yes Mulder, crumple the map up instead of trying to find a land mark and reorient yourself

- what in the fresh hell

- AHHHHH I HATE THE GOOPY STUFF

- NO NO NO YOU LEAVE SCULLY ALONE

- YOU BASTARD HOW COULD YOU SHE WAS NICE TO YOU

- ok so they each have a male and female form?

- hope that damn farm boy perishes painfully for trying to do that shit

- ah yep, there's the transphobic comment ok.

- SHOOT HIS ASS

- damn it

- rapist aliens, hate it. I'll be skipping this one if I rewatch the series in the future

- Lazarus

- yeesh, I wonder if Scully will end up believing that the guy who came back isn't him anymore

- man they really fell into that pink blood trap from old shows didn't they

- idk how she could deny that that isn't him after this

- damn, that was dark

- Mulder not lushing her to believe either way ahhhhh ouchyyy

- Young at Heart

- uhhhh, what is a prisoner doing roaming around

- UHHHHH WTF

- y'all, Scully is so little 😭 I know Mulder is like super tall but even compared to other women she's little, much less when standing in a room of Mulder height people XD

- oof more Mulder lore, man cannot catch a break

- damn, seeing old fashioned hand writing analysis be done is so cool, even in NCIS, a fairly old crime show, they still use tech for it. Hearing her talk about the markers and indicators is so so neat

- BITCH YOU BETTER NOT HURT SCULLY

- I recognize Dr. Ridley from something...

- it's the time loop guy from Stargate SG-1!!!

- the way young Barnette speaks is rage inducing

- E.B.E.

- oh wow that's quite a ship

- what's with the blue light thing?

- "Mulder you're the only one I trust" BROOOOOOO

- oh hey it's the woman who plays the tech on the Daedalus in Stargate who works with Hermiod!!

- HIS CODENAME IS DEEP THROAT????

- LET HIM LOOK ANYWAYYYY

- of course it's gone

- Miracle Man

- ah man a religious episode

- who tf subjects a child to that

- ughhhhhh

- yeah that's not creepy at all!!!

- gross gross gross I hate it

- the burned guy is the problem right? He's like channeling the boy and taking the lives of those that die? And maybe he's super against the autopsies because "desecrating" the body will undo it or something? Idk I'm guessing here cuz I'm confused

- oh shit Scully is doing the autopsy? Intense, aw man and Mulder is trying his best to be there

- oh ok so that's not what's happening

- uh oh

- ok it was the burned guy I was right!! He just wasn't doing it supernaturally

- oh wow

- Shapes

- oooo cryptid??

- ok so if you get scratched you get infected. It went from Joe to Lyle

- I wonder what triggers a new one once it's killed, cuz there was a distance between the killings in the past

- oh, so it's dormant until a night after the person gets too blood lusty?

- damn it, why is Scully always being left alone with the monsters or bad guys and Mulder is always chasing them alone

- how is she not hearing the loud ass growling sounds

- also, why is there a random ass cougar in a cage

- "something" jumped you?? Really Scully?? There was only one thing in that bathroom

- Darkness Falls

- wow those woods are gorgeous

- I'm very intrigued

- wtf was that shit

- oh my god Scully in that neon coat 😭 she's pretty in everything!!!

- I recognize the sherriff from somewhere

- Castle! He's in Castle

- oh boy, that creepy

- I recognize the Doug guy too

- holy crap it's THAT guy! Man he's like big time now

- ah so they got themselves killed by chopping down an ancient tree, karma

- Steve is the worst, hope he gets taken by bugs

- oh yeah he's done for

- OH HELL

- Tooms

- not the lizard bitch again

- AUGH THE EYESSSS

- who tf left his slot open!! Fools!!!

- Colonel Caldwell?!?!?

- do not release this mf

- Mulder, I hate to say it but that was never gonna fly

- welp, someone is gonna die now

- THAT MUCH SLURPING AND LICKING WAS SO UNNECESSARY AHHHHH

- nice work sheriff, nice work

- OH HELL NO

- bro is not about to come out of a toilet come on

- ok he didn't but he is disgusting anyway

- "Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for anyone but you" BROOOOO "if there's an ice tea in that bag, could be love" "must be fate, Mulder. Root beer" THEY'RE SO IN LOVE OMFG

- black car, red interior, so cool

- Mulder's turn to be attacked by lizard guy

- wtf is he doing

- oh

- YEESH

- OH

- oh that is gross, but hey he's finally dead

- Born Again

- psychic kid?

- ok so dead guy is involved? Girl is a medium then? Like ghost whisperer?

- I recognize the Tony guy from something

- oh shit they murdered that dude

- I looked him up, he's been in a lot of stuff I've seen apparently, NCIS, Supernatural, Psych, SG-1, and I haven't seen Law and Order really but I think I recognize him from trailers and stuff

- maybe the girl witnessed the first dude's murder or was nearby? And she could see his spirit or something? Or maybe he just latched onto her?

- oh reincarnation, that makes more sense

- bro really helped murder his partner and then got with his wife

- wtf is that

- honestly this episode is really uninteresting to me

- interesting we got a report by Mulder instead of Scully at the end though

- Roland

- well fuck you ableist scientist dude

- he killed the not mean one :(

- I recognize Roland from something, probably Stargate

- alright well the era is showing here. They're talking about Autistic people like they're inherently stupid, that savants are human calculators who can't even understand what they're doing. I hope everyone who reads this and has or plans to watch this show understands that that is severely false. Autism is a spectrum and being autistic doesn't make you stupid, "unusual" speech and movement aren't indicative of intelligence. And having high support needs isn't indicative of intelligence either!

- poor guy, he doesn't wanna hurt anyone :(

- good riddance Arthur, some brother, taking him over and making him murder people

- He gave her his stars 😭 guysssss

- Erlenmeyer Flask

- wow that is quite a title

- the chase scene and the dude being semi invisible reminds me so much of the Replicator on Earth episode from SGA

- some sort of superhuman project maybe?

- god DAMN Mulder leapt that fence like it was nothing!!

- oooooo Scully is reaching the point of belief!!!!

- yeah a sort of superhuman project! Alien human hybrids

- oh shit they killed the doctor who helped them :(

- ah yes Mulder, go into the darm attic without a flashlight

- OOP

- oh god his face, poor Mulder 😭

- help him Scullyyyyy

- CONFIDENCE SCULLY, CONFIDENCE

- Dana, responsible, rule following, FBI agent Scully breaking a billion laws all for Fox Spooky Mulder

- how tf did she sneak that out of there

- are they gonna shoot him

- YEP

- Scully is never gonna be the same after this, at least she got Mulder back though

- you can't seperate the duo!!!! No!!!

Holy crap Season one was amazing, I'm gonna start season 2 immediately and I'll link it here once it's posted!

Season 2

[thecomfywriter]

What started the tiff between mother dragon and the god she despises?

OH HO HO BOYYYYY

let's just jump straight into it. i don't even know how much i'm going to spoil oops.

day six of tcw's 12 days of askmas--von doro's animosity with the gods [evan's series spoilers]:

this is deep lore. this is book 6 of evan's series typa lore. so i'll keep spoilers in at a minimum because yikes forever, i'm not even doxxing my books that bad LMAO

a big portion of tov and sai is the mystery of von doro's curse. for the majority of tov, alan doesn't even know if the curse is real, and it is only ever verified in the last two chapters of sai. so honestly, ive already spoiled quite a bit in regards to that.

i will say though, von doro's curse and its origin is HEAVILY connected to the origins of the curse of yozar, which is the reason why von doro herself can't break the curse until the curse of yozar is lifted. the two are very interlinked, but that's a huge reason why she isn't a fan of yozar (bro got cursed and she ended up taking the L). but in terms of the 4 gods that torment her inside the volcano, she doesn't like them because of how they relate to the curse (oop-), sabotage her, and also stole her name, identity, and sanity.

thanks for the ask, wyked!

[squarebracketsmileyface]

On a totally opposite end of the spectrum from the role swap-

Imagine if after the Promise chapter things flipped. If after that argument The Operator- out of pure animalistic type curiosity- said “ooh lemme stick my fingers in this sauce here” and left Alex alone to latch onto Jay. Its already discovered how it can push and twist and manipulate one person, but what about a completely separate person? Will the results be the same? Different? Will it be easier or harder?

So it latches onto Jay, and Alex experiences a flat out withdrawal from that thing’s influence, followed by the most gut wrenching clarity. Realizing how crazy he went, how he killed his friends to “save” them when it never would have mattered. So two weeks pass, and all he can think about is Jay- talking to him again and telling him everything, being honest and actually fucking admitting that he cares about him, that he wants to make good on his promise and do things right.

But Jay doesn’t answer. Jay is the one who drops off the planet and goes MIA, and Alex has a horrible, sinking suspicion he knows why. He hopes that Jay just finally got sick of him- he HOPES thats all it is- but deep down there’s this creeping suspicion that its not a coincidence. That he passed his own torment on to Jay like some twisted fucking disease-

He finds out he’s right, later on. When he starts working together with Tim(he’s desperate to find Jay, to fix things, even if that means groveling for Tim’s help-), when they start having run ins with Jay where he won’t see reason, where he argues every point they make and tries to convince Alex that everyone has to die, to help him(and wow, did he sound that crazy too? probably, yikes-)

And in the end Alex makes one last desperate attempt. He meets Jay somewhere alone, tries to convince him to come with him, tells him that he loves him-

But Jay doesn’t believe him. He tells Alex as much(“i love you but i can’t trust you- you said it yourself, why would you ever love somebody like me?”) and Alex wants to cry when Jay throws his own awful words back at him, things he never meant to say-

But what destroys him is when Jay takes the gun that he stole from Alex months ago, puts it to his own head and pulls the trigger with a bang right in front of him.

I’m in a dark mood today LMAO we die like tunnel guy

we die like tunnel guy lmaoooo

fucking THIS tho oh my god the ANGST

i literally have nothing else to add really, my brain saw this and turned into angst mush i fucking love this so much. Jay not believing Alex when he says he loves him fucking OW. This is literally fucking perfect. like, actually.

Everyone come look at this and be fucking destroyed by it because OW. it's especially sad because i'm thinking so much about Alex being the one feeling super hurt and stuff in his uni relationship with Jay, because im writing if it ain't broken at the moment. I am in the perfect mindset for just pouring over Jaylex angst with Alex being the one left feeling worst for it.

Honestly though, Alex finally seeing things fully, truly clearly and realising how terrifying and horrible it must have been for Jay to see him the way he was with the Operator in his head, all angry and not seeing sense and arguing every little thing.

withdrawal from the Operator tho, like, actual withdrawals from it could be so interesting. Like, how would that interact with Tim since he's been dealing with the operator since he was a kid presumably. is he fucked either way? like, if he doesnt take his meds he could get withdrawals from them, and if he doesn't take them for a while then goes back on them does he then get withdrawals from the Operator? Or is it different because the Operator isn't in his head the same way it's in Alex's? is just being near it enough? Like second hand smoke?

[calamitaswrath]

Lucia plays Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn: Part 4 Endgame Part 3

Well, that's one way to frame the infodump about the creation of the world. Yune is just bored while they're climbing the tower and feels like telling it.

. . .And Tibarn doesn't give a shit. This man is amazing, I love him.

So the Zunanma just. Evolved without any involvement from Ashunera?? Wild. Can't help but to imagine that she must have observed that like

I know this is a deep dive into the mythology and creation of Tellius, but on some level, the sequence of events as Yune describes it is just kind of funny to me. The various tribes of the Zunanma fight each other, Ashunera thinks to herself "What will solve the conflicts between these people? I know, clearly seperating them into distinct groups!", and then they fight each other even more. Ashunera really wasn't that good at this whole god-business, was she?

Ahh, dragon time.

So, we have base conversations again! Let's go over those.

First one you apparently only get if Micaiah and Sothe have an A support, so since I didn't change that, I got it. As for its contents. . . well, it's nice to finally have some backstory for the two of them, and an explanation as to why Sothe could join Greil's Mercenaries in Path of Radianec. But if anything, this conversation just drives home that Micaiah and Sothe having a paired ending where they get together is just really kinda yikes. She practically raised him!

Conversation with Sanaki - well, that's basically just foreshadowing for Sephiran being an antagonist. Unfortunately I already knew that he was one at this point, but I suspect that even if I hadn't known, it would have been pretty obvious by now.

Conversation with the Herons - just a means of getting an item, so not much to note here. Though I find it interesting that if Reyson or Rafiel is there, Ike talks to them, and if Leanne is there, it's Micaiah who talks to her. I wonder why that is? . . .And I mean, I genuinely wonder that. It feels a bit random of a distinction.

Weapon enchanting time! I initially actually wanted to have the tomohawk that I gave Ike enchanted, but the friend I was streaming for cautioned me against it since only the equipped weapon gets enchanted. Looking at the wiki though she needn't have worried about that, since Ike apparently auto-equips Ragnell to have it enchanted at this point. That aside - I do kinda regret not having Alondite enchanted for Lucia, and having had that done for her forged weapon instead. But eh, whatever.

Now, as for the battle - this was a pretty neat map. Once I realized that the dragons here don't attack Kurthnaga and Ena, I also got to make use of their ally buffing skills which were pretty neat. But actually abusing this mechanic beyond that wasn't really an option, since both of them were far too weak.

Dheginsea was a pretty cool boss, too! I actually tried multiple times to have Naesala weaken him, but every single time, Dheginsea activated his skill and just killed him instantly. Which feels pretty fitting for how people tend to view Naesala in-universe, all things considered.

And so passes Dheginsea, king of the dragons. Pretty interesting character all things considered, but a stubborn old fool all the same. Since I spared Nasir and Gareth, I'm gonna get them next chapter - I didn't use them, but they did come with some goodies that I could use.

More flashback scenes, and luckily ones that I didn't miss. I am glad to inform you that the German dub is as laughable as the English one here.

[casketscratch]

The psychiatrist appointment isn't for two months, and that part's fine. Anything under 12 months here is considered a miracle and I'm fine so depressed and disregulated that I've watched 25 seasons of South Park in four weeks just to fill time. (But I didn't kill myself, so technically, that's a win.)

Point being, nothing will happen between now and March.

But I am already spinning in my head about all the ways it could go wrong. What if he doesn't believe in my diagnosis, what if I just don't tell him about the DID, what if he decides it's all in my head (so to speak), what if, what if, what if. Part of me is scrambling and part of me is already ruthlessly trying to plot out the best scheme like it's a chess match and decide what it's tactically best to reveal or conceal.

Just, chatter chatter chatter.

And it's not like I know the answer. Last time I spoke to a psychiatrist it was at ~*the nation's leading mental health institute*~ and she just wrote down BPD because CPTSD isn't in the DSM, yadda yadda, and ignored the letter from my doctor stating I had been diagnosed with DID, el-oh-el.

So for all I know, the inverse will be true this time and the shitty little podunk hospital guy here might be out of this world helpful.

But my hopes are not, uh, high.

There's another track in my brain just... whispering the story of what happened to us. And it's full of feelings of unfairness and rejection, and bracing for more of it. I think it's been triggered by just reaching out and asking for help, and is bracing for impact, but it's going to be a very long and draining 8 weeks if this fear doesn't recede a little.

There's something there about how all the abuse and trafficking is just unbelievable, no matter what. The only person who's ever believed us about the whole thing has been the neuropsych we've been seeing for, oh, five years now (yikes), which means it feels pre-determined that this next guy won't believe us, either.

Because most days it's not like we even believe ourselves. Or... we do, but it can only be little pieces at a time. Intellectually and in that third-person camera way, I can see it all, but oh my god is awareness ever not the same thing as processing. A lesson I relearn every few months, I feel like. We've been filling in our little timeline of memories document and every time I open it I just reel back into my brain a little bit because surely not all of this could have happened all so close together, or all at once. Just little zings of denial.

I'm trying to give my permission to act sick and fucked up because I am sick and fucked up, but that's its own fucking zoo to navigate, too.

Also I say "nothing will happen between now and March" but there is one of our most major trauma anniversaries around then and every year we go deep-end insane, so. Also trying to figure out how one shores up resources for that now that we know enough to know it's coming.

Tempted to just order a bunch of colouring books and drugs and new markers because maybe dipping out on reality is a valid strategy sometimes.

Also I just really want a fucking hug and wish I had a friend in this city. That tug-of-war between wanting companionship and avoiding it all costs is keeping me up at night, too.

Pre-Dracula vampire fiction (1)

Since Halloween is upon us, I decided, as a treat, to rescue my "live reading" tweets about the most important books of vampire fiction (according to Myself, of course) in the form of a reading log. (The things between [ ] are notes I'm interpolating now, for clarity.)

And, since Dracula Daily is coming quickly to a close, I'm inviting you all to a deep dive into the almost two centuries of vampire tradition that Stoker had behind him when he wrote Dracula.

We will start with Augustin Calmet's treatise on the undead (1749), then we will jump to a special edition I have of The Vampyre (the first vampire piece of prose, that we know of, from 1817) with some fanfic short stories based on it attached and then we will visit the Dracula's Brood anthology and a few similar ones (that you only find on Amazon BR). Depending on my ADHD, we may or may not have some highlights of books on folklore vampires (mainly my complaints about them, but there are positive highlights).

ANYWAY LET'S GOO

17/07/2002 - 12:35 am

"I'm reading the vampire reports analysed by Augustin Calmet (a monk that lived around the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th and OH MY GOD MY BRAIN IS SCREAMING. It's too much information in a huge tangle. But the reports he collected ARE the materials that most classical vampire writers read.

I've previously read summaries of his work, not the book itself. I'm reading this free version: https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/29412 This log is my way of organizing all the info in a way that is useful to me.

17/07/2002 - 12:56 am

I'm reading a PT-BR version of the vampire reports, they start at page 243 of the Gutenberg ebook.

In case you don't know, Calmet's treatise is his way to give a Catholic Church perspective on what are essentially paranormal stories that were spread by magazines and newspapers as true. [It was written in 1745, a few years after the Vampiromania started in Europe (we will talk more about that later).]

He talks about ghosts, vampires, revenants, angels, demons and more. We will focus on the vampires.

17/07/2002 - 12:57 am

We start with the first (highly controversial) folk ethymology for "vampire" as a derivation of "oupire", both meaning "bloodsucker". They are classified here as a type of revenant, or "those who come back".

[You would THINK we know what the word "vampire" actually means and from which language it originally comes, by now, given how much interest there is on the topic, and you would be naïvely, DELICIOUSLY wrong.]

17/07/2002 - 12:58 am

Another cool fact he adds is that vampires only *sometimes* cause their victim's deaths. As for what causes the vampirism cases known at the time, he lists four possible things: 1 - nothing, it's just superstition; 2 - people buried alive [yikes]; 3 - dead people that God allowed to come back and haunt the living; 4 - Satan shenanigans

17/07/2002 - 12:59 am

I think cause 3 is cool, because when was it the last time you've read a story of a person that became a vampire because God Himself told them "no, no, they really screwed you over, go back and drink a couple liters of their blood to teach them a lesson"?

17/07/2002 - 1:05 am

Here Calmet enters a tangent about cases of actual ressurrections, Lazarus-style. I'm skipping that, it doesn't interest me. Let me get back to action on page 261, with M. Vassimont's case.

17/07/2002 - 1:13 am

Hahahahahaha oh my GOD this is my favourite case. So, the vampire is the ghost of a shepherd that sometimes appear as a man, sometimes, as a dog. He attacks people [not by drinking blood, but] by making them feel weak, and he also ties the tails of two or more cows together [because he is also a petty jerk, apparently].

So, when the peasants decide to stake him to pin him on the ground, he flat out LAUGHS at their faces. The corpse mocks them, saying that the stake is just a stick to shoo dogs, and keeps tormenting him until he is dragged out of the village and burned to ashes.

17/07/2002 - 1:22 am

I love so much the mental image of a group of peasants around the coffin, tired and soaked with blood after staking that jerk and he just keeps LAUGHING at their faces.

17/07/2002 - 1:28 am

Calmet keeps repeating the signals that a corpse is a vampire: its blood is still red and liquid, rosy faces and flesh that is soft, pliable and devoid of worms. And to illustrate it, he offers cases of people that didn't decomposed after death and how things around them sometimes move by themselves.

17/07/2002 - 1:29 am

It's interesting because the vampires in those reports are considered revenants, too, but they don't rise from their tombs and drink blood. Instead, they cause poltergeist phenomena in their former homes, throwing rocks and messing things around.

17/07/2002 - 1:37 am

Another case of vampirism. This time, the vampire appears to his son after his death and asks for dinner. The son feeds him and the old man disappear. The next day, he does the same. The next morning, the son dies. When they exhume the old man's corpse, it's *breathing*.

[TO BE CONTINUED...]

This was an eventful early morning. It was 5 months after the beginning of the quarantine and I my home office work didn't have official hours, so my sleep patterns had already gone to space at that point.

At this point, I think it's important to notice how vampires bring signs of life to the corpses they inhabit, and sometimes these signs not necessarily include the corpse moving around. I mean, for all his laughing around, the jerkish vampire shepherd above never did anyting to stop the stake or his own burning.

You will see so much more that sadly never made its way into fiction tomorrow. At the end, I'll make a summary of what was a vampire at that point, before the Germans muddled it all (yeah, the Germans, bet you didn expect it - although the French also had a hand on it). Stay tuned!

[chibisquirt]

Unfortunately, I appear to be getting into tufting.

I haven't gone off the deep end yet. I did buy a latchhook and some grid cloth so I can paddle my feet in the rug-like waters, but I haven't bought anything else, not even any yarn for it! (I'm so virtuous.) (I actually am so virtuous; I'm severely weak to yarn.)

But I have been watching rug tufting videos... and looking up tufting guns online... and plotting how I'm going to go about this...

It's a problem.

The fact that, if I get good at it, this could become a viable side-hustle... is not, actually, any less of a problem.

Anyway here's all the shit I'd need to buy to actually get started with it, along with long-range plans for equivalent pieces. Under a cut for the sake of all y'all's humanity:

Tufting gun

This is the big one, and I find myself in a bit of a dilemma on it: you can get them for cheap of aliexpress, but like... do I really wanna trust something that came off aliexpress? I have not gotten anything off there, and while I have no evidence it's any worse than amazon, I have no reason to think it's any better, either. (Actually, I'm pretty sure some of the amazon listings at least *are* the aliexpress listings, being re-sold. So, avoid that one, at least.)

So anyway the tufting gun everyone says is the best runs about $250.

2. Frame

You tuft by shooting fibers into a grid made of fabric; in order to do that, you have to have the grid solidly suspended in the air. This requires a frame.

Price varies by size.

3. Tufting fabric (or equivalent)

This is the fabric that you shoot the fibers into. You can also use monks cloth or burlap, apparently. (Not to be confused with the other fabric, backing fabric, which goes on after everything else, and is what the rug actually sits on.) Not too bad, not too bad, monks cloth is about $15/yard.

4. Yarn

Not my *immediate* starting cost, just because oh god oh god I will be swimming in vanna's choice until I die, but yarn is also not the cheapest thing in the world. You can get two skeins of red heart super savor for about $15-$20, and it goes up from there.

5. Glue

Once the fibers are in the monks cloth, there's nothing really holding them there. That's why you have to glue the shit out of them! Recommended glue is carpet glue, Roberts 3000 or 3085 or something. A gallon of that is $25, or 4 for $50 at Home Depot.

6. More glue!

Yeah, you didn't think we were done, did you? Once you've glued all your fibers in place, you cut out the rug from the grid fabric and glue the edges down, this time with a different type of adhesive. Tutorial I saw recommended hot glue and spray adhesive, which, since I don't have a glue gun, means I'd be looking about $25 all together for them.

Once you've got that done, you can add your...

7. Backing fabric!

Non-slip is good if it's going on the floor... you can do a 6' by 6' square of this for $35.

8. Trimmers

Teeeechnically, I already have some trimmers, but if I'm gonna do this with any seriousness, I don't want to use those for it, because they're designed for human hair and rugs are made with sheep hair (or hair from the noble acryligoat). You can get trimmers that come with a little guide, too, which is super handy if you don't want a giant gouge down the middle of your rug. Call these $40-50.

9. Scissors

Once you've gotten your rug shaved--not a euphemism--you want to go in and outline each color with scissors to give it definition.

So all of that comes to about $500 if you're thrifty. 😬 And then you consider the costs that repeat, like the next batch of tufting fabric and yarn, and the costs that add on as not-essential-but-nice-to-have, like yarn cones, extra frames, labels... It is Yikes.

Buuuuuut... If I were to start selling them... I mean, you can get hundreds of dollars per rug. Per small rug. A thousand plus for a big one! So I do kind of think it might be financially viable.

Better to start it as a hobby first, though. And maybe be prepared to have a pretty big initial layout. :(

[literaticat]

I live in a deep red state, chose to be a stay at home mom, and generally look as though I believe like every white person around me. However, I don’t. I am just wondering how I write my bio in order for agents to not immediately label me a certain way. I write humor MG and YA with some progressive themes, but they aren’t the focus of the story.

I do appreciate your sensitivity and not wanting to be labeled in a certain way -- but I also think you're overthinking it a hair.

Lots of agents are white, and/or have lots of white clients. Lots of agents are from places other than NYC, and rep clients all over the US and the world. So I don't think most of us would automatically assume anything negative about an author just based on where they live or what they do or what they look like.

After all, why should we, when we can base negative feelings on things a person actually says and the books they've actually written! I promise you that people who have uh... extremely divisive views... can't help but say so in their queries or in the kinds of books they choose to write. It's QUITE CLEAR when a book is coming from somebody who, you know, hates books, or despises "woke ideology", or whatever other weirdo stance -- they say it right out loud and there are no assumptions or guessing games necessary!

If anything, unless you tell me differently, my automatic assumption would be the opposite. I'd be more likely to think, if you are querying me with a fun kids book with mildly progressive themes, and your query is well-written, and your bio doesn't mention "Guns, God and American Values!" or something like that, and you seem affable and not-bonkers, that you are probably liberal-leaning (or "fiscally/politically moderate-to-liberal but socially very liberal") regardless of where you live.

That's because a) most people who want to read and write great books for kids LOVE AND RESPECT KIDS BOOKS, and kids books is, frankly, a 'snowflake' kind of field to be in; and b) If you seem to have read the guidelines and targeted the book correctly, you must be smart; and thus c) you must know that I rep a lot of queer and other kinds of diverse and "woke" kinds of books, and I would think that most very conservative people wouldn't WANT to be repped by me!

BUT ANYWAY. If you want to make that even more clear in your bio, you can. It's short, but there's space for you to put a kind of "mission statement." There's no need to say you are a SAHM if you feel like that pigeonholes you. You don't even need to say exactly where you live if you feel like THAT pigeonholes you, just say something general about the region.

"I'm Mindy Smith, and I am passionate about writing fun, accessible stories for kids and teens that also touch on themes that are important to them and their future, such as climate change and environmental activism. I live near a swamp, and when I'm not writing children's books, I get my heart rate up by chasing alligators off the porch while wrangling two toddlers and an unruly dog."

"I'm Dorothy Gale-Belvedere. I grew up in Kansas and still live nearby with my family, and yes, I've heard all the Wizard of Oz jokes, and yes, I am skittish about tornados, and also yes, as the light and fun books I write can attest, I do love rainbows and glittery shoes and all things magical! But no, I don't have a dog named Toto, just a cat named Gretchen."

"I'm Deborah Candleflame, and I'm a former elementary school English Language Arts teacher who still loves sharing stories with kids -- particularly stories of grand adventure tinged with fantasy and folklore elements that can show them the limitless bounds of their own imagination! I live in a holler in the beautiful Appalachian mountains and, in addition to writing, I am raising three spoiled kids* as well as two fairly well-adjusted human children."

*(that was a goat joke!)

See how all those people sound pretty nice and not unhinged, and you'd never think "yikes, they sound like they might want to put gay people in jail"? Just do something like that!

[dynmghts]

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME: cameron! cam for short

PRONOUNS : he/him is the preferred, they/them is cool too

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : discord, usually! though i'm pretty bad at initiating conversation because i'm a shy little guy

NAME OF MUSE(s) : bakugou katsuki my beloved boy

BEST EXPERIENCE : i've had sooooo many positive experiences on here, it's really hard to name them all tbh! and also because my memory sucks. the most recent joy i've had is when i made my official comeback on this blog with the shiny new url, and katsuki immediately beefing with monoma (ily viverra), while getting a welcome from other muses of friends i've known since i started writing him in 2021.

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : i like to think of myself as fairly tolerant, mostly because i consider myself guilty of some dooming ones (namely anti-social, low/no interaction, etc). but i have one big one i guess;

clique-y behaviour. this is noooot something i've seen in this rpc (as far as i can tell? which, thank god), but i'm a veteran who was in the trenches of the fantasy rpc while dragon age was the leading fantasy media. it was pretty common for groups to band together, which is fine, people click! but then it became impossible to interact with anyone from those groups, because they'd only interact with each other. it's also this weird, i dunno, expectation for canon muse blogs outside of a "clique" to mirror the one that's inside that clique, you know what i mean? it made me thankful that i was writing an inquisitor instead of a canon muse there, but yikes...

MUSE PREFERENCES: i reeeeeeally like it when someone has meticulously pulled apart a muse and put them back together with their personal understandings on how they think / act / work in their media. SO MUCH. i love the in-depth lens they give their character that way, canon or oc, divergent or compliant, WHY they choose to go either way. gimme someone who has loved their character so well that you can see the dedication in everything they write about them. gimme muses that are a myriad of deep understandings from the mun about their lore, their personalities, their actions, and even their respective universes. i'll never get enough of it.

PLOTS OR MEMES : ahhhh i'm so bad with both... i'm more consistent with memes for interaction, and even if it takes me a week (or three months) to get to it, i will more often than not FINALLY find a way i want to respond to something. but for a good and strong bond, i adore plotting. i struggle with consistency sometimes because i tend to tap out of social interaction quickly, but once you get the ball rolling, once we have an idea to latch onto, it's pretty smooth from there i think. i love seeing how we can get two characters to work. my strongest bonds on this blog come from me goofing around in dms with people and coming up with some of the best, funniest, sweetest, and heart-breaking content for our muses.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : i write long replies a LOT more than i do short ones. this is mostly a skill issue. once i have a train of thought, i keep writing and forget to slow down a bit... and i love to have my little essay replies to read when i come online. they're so much fun to me. but i also treasure short replies, because sometimes, a short reply carries enough to pack a punch!

BEST TIME TO WRITE : ha. ahaha. seeing as it's 2:30am while i'm doing this on the night i had to do my medication, so long as i feel well enough, i'll write at any time. sometimes early morning, sometimes afternoon, sometimes night, sometimes in the ungodly hours where i should most definitely be asleep.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : ............... sometimes. usually when i'm playing an anger-inducing video game. also that gifted kid perfectionist thing.
