kinktober 2024 day 8: forcefemme // multiple insertions (rosa/zima) (ao3)

Sonya cringes away from the hand on her chin, fighting the urge to run. It would be so easy, too. One strike to the arm, one to her face, kick the chair into her legs, and out the door, never to return.

"Hold still."

She glares at Natalya, sitting across from her, frowning, shaking powder from the brush that had just been stabbing into her eye over the compact in her hand.

"Aren't you done yet?"

Natalya scoffs. "We've only just begun."

"Нахуй."

Sonya stands, brushing off Natalya's hand of concern and pacing across the bathroom as best she can as the unfamiliar gown she had been dressed in billows behind her. "I hate this. I hate everything about this."

Natalya shrugs, easy and elegant in the way she hates. "Then call it off. Tell me it's too much, that you want to stop, and we will. No hard feelings."

The last part is a lie, and Sonya knows it. But what's worse is that the first part is a trap, and she knows it, and she knows Natalya knows it; knows that she will never back down from a challenge, knows that to admit she is too weak for this will break her, and so she grits her teeth, repositions herself on the stool, and resigns herself to imagining Natalya's teeth shattering under her fist.

"Good." Natalya purrs, leaning forward to examine her yet again, taking her chin with a single finger and thumb and turning it to her desire. "We'll make a proper lady of you yet."

Sonya snorts with derision. "Why would you want to?"

"Because nothing," Natalya murmurs, her lips inches from Sonya's ear, "nothing is better then watching them break beneath you."

Ah.

So that's what this is. This is the game; and Natalya realizes her realization now, and when she pulls back her eyes are alight with desire in a way Sonya rarely sees.

"I want to make you beautiful, Sonya, but beauty does not come from powders or silks, no matter what those in the ivory towers claim. Beauty, true beauty, is seizing what you are owed and making it beg for your mercy. I think you would agree, no?"

She does, and she hates that she does, and she hates that Natalya of all people knows that she does; and she most of all she hates knowing how this evening is going to end, that she may be strong-willed but Natalya Andreyevna Rostova is an opponent she cannot, will not, defeat.

But she cannot back down now.

"Good." Natalya smiles her gentle, perfect smile, and Sonya has never wanted anything more then to wipe it off her face, with a kiss or a fist, either would suffice. "Now. Sit still and let me finish. I need to you have a proper face to ruin with your tears."

[enlighten3d]

IM. OKAY. FUCK, THEYRE ADDRESSING IT?? HOLY SHIT THE COMMUNICATION IS HAPPENING???? one sec i need to write this WHOLE conversation down, i am insane

wemmbu: "yeah, lowkey i just wanna get out of here too. we can continue our beef later, like- *laughs*" zam: "oh, so you want to continue the beef?" wemmbu: "i mean, not really, but like, i feel like you would- youre gonna try and hunt us down again when we get out, so." zam: "i was telling you during that fight that i want this to be over." wemmbu: "okay, well, then i mean- i mean, you were the one who like, tried killing me the first second we ended up in this prison, so." zam: "well, yeah because you werent gonna let me not kill you during that fight, what?" wemmbu: "but that wasnt a sentence that you just said." zam: "because i remember when we were fighting and i said we shouldnt kill eachother, we should stop, and you said 'nope, im gonna kill you'. and then, i was like 'okay, well i guess i dont have a choice'." wemmbu: "oh. well, i thought you were gonna kill me." zam: "yeah, and then we got back into this prison, and i was like, (wemmbu: "oooohhh") 'okay well. if he was gonna kill me during the 1v1 then i guess hes prob'ly gonna kill me in here too, huh." wemmbu: "oh- i just tryna craft item items, bruh, i wasnt really tryna like, make weapons or anything like that." zam: "well, i thought you were gonna kill me, so."

im. fuck they are actually communicating, what alien planet are we on. they. theyre actually communicating and. yeah sure they describing the fight a bit weirdly (wemmbu are you not going to address the fact that blowing up pze was a suicide mission and you were Ready To Die At Zams Hand right then.)

im going to print this exchange out and pin it on my wall, i swear /hj. theyre. theyre actually Talking and explainign their perspectives of shit. oh my gods this rly is the They Work Things Out (At Least Somwhat) arc.....

they. they just both didnt want to die, i guess. im. (theres a lot of different motivations that theyre not addressing- like, why zam doesnt want to kill wemmbu (it is Not just that he wants this to be over), or the aforementioned wemmbu being ready to die, or the whole zam fucking w wemmbu for fun thing, or- a LOT of things. but. this is a start.)

gawaincelot 3 17 18 :)

ough thank you for the ask!! 3. are they into PDA? who intiates most? they want to be able to show PDA so bad but their relationship is supposed to be under wraps a bit. But if they were able to freely? its gawain 100% hes very into casual touch like resting his head on lancelots shoulder (he has to stand on his toes for this lmao) or casually playing with his hair or holding his hand <33 17. who is more competitive? theyre pretty much tied on that front! id imagine as some of arthurs best knights they get challenged to competitions quite often, and they both find it very fun to participate, but also. neither of them know when to back down ever they are so stubborn dsjbfhusijkpdl 18. what are they like when theyre drunk? how do they act together? and when 1 is drunk, while the other is sober? god theyre both MENACES while drunk. like. more than usual for them. lancelot is a very giggly drunk like bro is just finding literally everything funny af and becomes infinitely harder to understand bc he wont stop cackling at random shit that only someone whos shitfaced could find funny. he also likes to get up to Mischief while drunk. def the kind of person whos keys youd have to hide. hes also an extreme lightweight poor guy. gawain is a very clingy over emotional drunk who will not hesitate to cry at the slightest inconvenience (he drops his goblet of wine and laments for several minutes) hes a bit easier to manage than lancelot bc if you get him comfy and give him food hell stay put unless someone ropes him into something. then its all over for you. Together they are just. truly the worst. im talking you cannot take your eyes off them even for a SECOND or they will have committed various crimes or are doing stupid shit like trying to drunkenly spar in the middle of banquets, which causes a scene and they get escorted out back to their chambers <3. or they just start being a lil gay. its a miracle people dont know theyre together they dont hide it well drunk. if lancelot is drunk but gawain is sober gawain spends the whole night Stressed trying to keep lancelot from putting himself or others in danger by being just an overall menace to society whos trying to start fights. if its just gawain whos drunk things are a little more calm as he usually just wants to cuddle and then sleep and lancelot is happy to indulge that <3 god thats so cute i need to draw it. holy shit i did not mean to write this much good lord lsdjfhusdijk but thank u again for the ask!!

Episode 16 reactions

Oooooh cool car

I can totally see how Wyldfyre and Robie’s personalities actually match tho. Like they’re both prideful in what they do and have that same little “Not that I needed help but thanks anyway” thing going on. It’s sweet. 

I love it when these two talk it’s so interesting omg

This poor kid is trying so hard to do the right thing and get his parents back 

HE DOESNT TRUST HIM. HES TRYING MAN 

HES SO MANIPULATIVE GOD HIS DIALOG IS SO WELL WRITTEN 

I can see why Jay so easily believed him lol

Y’all have the elemental master of EARTH WITH YOU-

They won. But at what cost 

YES HE WOULD ARIN

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THIS SHIT HAS BEEN WUS FUALT

Oh god Lloyd’s own communication issues coming to bite him in the ass 

Euphrasia!!

Noooooooooo she was doing so well :(

They’re gonna have to team with Zeatrix aren’t they

Oh that’s just not even fair to Tox wtffff

OH DAMN 

She’s putting it togetherrrrr

Frackkkkk man. He’s probably not even a bad dude, Ras is just using him too to get to Arin

This is like when ur friend is friends with someone who was an asshole to you. I feel bad on Arin’s behalf lmao

UMMMMMMMMM

WTF WAS THE RED SHIT? ARIN??? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

OH NOT THE WARPED VERSION OF THE MAIN LEITMOTIF HOLY SHIT 

Im gonna scream omfg

MR PALE GETTING TO BE BADASS LETS GO

I love that they’re bantering lmao. They know each other!!!

THATS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE YO. It suits him lol

THEYRE FREINDS AWW

Plz be Cole v Geo

Damnit

Frack is really sweet tho which is cool

Arin on the other hand is not doing so hot rn-

Cmon Cole you used to climb mountains for fun 

At least she owned up to it

Damn he was so close. But yea these contests seem biased

At least someone’s having a good time lol

It’ll be cool to see the dual power fights. Also did Geo win or loose or?

Wtf is a dragon icon 

Oooooooh huh. I wonder how he made the first one then if he needs elemental power to do it. Is that why there’s so many new masters? Did Ras kill the others for the last icon he made?

Oh that’s gonna be a brutal fight 

Cole was not prepared to deal with S1 Kai all over again lmao. I need them to be buddies now

I wanna write a pic about how it feels to have completely different elemental powers and how it feels to go without them for so long (even if the ninja are more used to it than most probably) 

COLE AND WYLDFYRE LMAO the duo I didn’t know we needed 

Oh these games are riggedddddd

Nokt doesn’t even have elemental powers why is he here?

Arin do be sulking

Oh Sora’s gonna get her ass kicked isn’t she

Omg I just realized. Sora not knowing spinjitzu is probably gonna be another reason Arin believes that Ras’ way is better 

Do none of the others see Arin just talking to Ras lol??

See and this game seems rigged in Sora’s favor. I think my earlier theory about Robie was right 

LMAO FRIED CINDER

Sora didn’t show of Wyld’s powers cuz she knew she’d get bit about it 

Oh yo it’s ghost Wu talking to Cole again

ALSO WHERE TF DID CLE GO AFTER SEASON 1 I JUST FUCKING REMEMBERED THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA

Oh Arin :(

WHERE ARE THESE THINGS COMING FROM

[collegetennisoriginstory]

ALLIEEEEEEEE!!!!! Just finished the update HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

[Mandatory spoiler warning here]

OMG SAM!!!!!!! MY LIL BESTIE IS HERE AGAINNNN!!! AND WE MATCHIEESSS <3 SAM MY SCRUNKLYWUNKLY ❤️🩷 YOU BET UR ASS I CHOSE THE "NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY, SOUL CRUSHING HUG" OPTION!!! AHH I AM WHOLE AGAIN, SAMMYWHAMMY, MY SAMWISE, MY LIL GUY!!

I love how sam is immediately adopted as part of the cheering squad 😂 Im just imagining diego and Addie going 'one of us!! One of us!!! One of us!!!' At sam and just merges em into the group like theyve always belonged there 😭 I knew sam and diego would be instant besties!! I love G and Sam too!! Though I guess I didnt flirt enough with G to trigger any sort of jealousy between G and Sam. But its fine, Ive found that G as a platonic friend is also very sweet and I honestly kinda prefer it for my MC!! (Who will cry themself stupid when G has to leave 😔)

Speaking of jealousy, I absolutely LOVE Rayyan being sooo jealous the whole chapter lmaooo like yes bby frown those beautiful eyebrows... oh, MC is wearing someone else's last name to their first season debut???? Ohh u are seething... who is MC seeing so badly that theyre holding up the game?? Who is MC waving at?? I cant wait to introduce Sam to the team 😊 hopefully they would be able to go home unscathed <3

ALSO the tension after the match with Rayyan!!!! UGH I WANNA LIVE IN THAT SCENE FOREVER GOD ITS SO---- The restraint, the longing, the 'i want them so bad but causing a scandal by making out sloppy toppy at ur first match is probably NOT GOOD, but im this 🤏 close to risking it all'...

It's so woefully inadequate, so woefully incongruent with the way he's looking at you, that you're a whisker away from growling in frustration and stepping in to kiss him in front of the entire Cargill crowd.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE LINE OMG!!!! AND THE WAY RAYYAN JUST GRABS UR HAND AND HUGS U INSTEAD!!! I AM FERAL. LIKE ITS SO SO SO SOFT BUT ITS SUCH POOR SUBSTITUTE TO WHAT U ACTUALLY WANTED HUH RAYYAN??? ..... one of these days I might do a slowburn Rayyan route, but sadly Im a board certified thirsty hoe, so...

Btw I also chose the non heart hug option and ITS SO SOFT???? I LOVE THEM BEING SOFT??? LIKE "u only get to hug me once okay? 😤" "once per match?? 😊🥰🥺🤗" MC SO CUTE GOT RAYYAN GIGGLIN AND BEING MAD CUTE AND SHIT

AND OH DONT GET ME STARTED WITH 'THE LOCKER ROOM PART 3: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO' SCENE. I AM DEVOURING RAYYANS SOUL, I AM BITING DOWN, CHOMPING. THOSE LOCKERS HAVE SEEN SO MUCH SHIT I AM SO SORRY LOCKERS I LOVE U. I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF LOCKER ROOM KISSES I HOPE IT GETS TO LOCKER ROOM PART 587

Anyways sorry about being unhinged at u, it is born out of love for ur incredible work, I hope the surgery goes well <3 rest up, sending u loads of love, Allie ❤️❤️

Hahahaha I LOVE your excitement omg this absolutely made my week!! Definitely read this one more than a couple times :)))

G is not really the jealous type, but there is a difference in their reaction to Sam and MC if MC has been flirting with G... though the more pronounced reaction comes from Sam if MC flirts with G in front of them.

As for Rayyan... yes. They definitely are the competitive type, both when it comes to tennis and. Well. Romance.

Glad you enjoyed some of the interactions between the ROs/characters in the update, it was a lot of fun getting to write some of these dynamics after building up to them in earlier chapters. A personal fave was writing Tobin's locker room scenes, and G/Rayyan being soft, and Sam's reunion :)

Finally, I have lots of Sam/hallmate interactions planned for the weekend, so stay tuned for that!!

Thanks so much again for the message and so glad you enjoyed the update!

[battle-subway-aftershow]

whats up everybody it's me, anon, to give you some love, for the feedback thing. You might be able to tell who this is but whatever I have plausible deniability.

Anyways

Firstly this technically isn't tumblr feedback but your art? fucking stellar I love your art, the sequence with the fox still lives rent free in my head, all your plotlines do honestly so, yeah, curse you and your blorbos theyre all in my head (not really It's Fun)

So specifics, um, well honestly all your ocs are cool but I'll try to just specifically list a few here, and not all of them so you don't have to read a bigger wall of text than this probably is gonna be.

So Paris? Man, Paris, I think it may be obvious he's one of my favorites among, like, all the characters on this site honestly. I'd be fine with him talking about the fucking weather with how you write him. Like, a guy who wants to do good but bad shit keeps happening and it's kinda messing him up, but he's putting on this brave face because yknow, other people need help and comfort too! His relationships with other characters can't be explained with one sentence and that's so GOOD. Paris is great because he has so many layers to his character it's hard to describe him briefly because there's just so much going on inside his head and I want to dissect his thoughts. He's so. So multifacited? I guess is the word? I wanna see how he reacts to everything because he always reacts in such an iinteresting way! mannnnnnnn

AND AND AND LIAM!!! god liam, I need to know more, you're hurting me, I know something is Up but I don't know What and I know that's the Point but I'm going insane I love this warrior skitty fan I think I would kill someone for him.

Alzis!!!!!!!!! The fucking guy. I want to shove him in a locker. I also like his typing style a lot. Youre really good at, writing like, mysteries and keeping people hooked you know? It's evident on all your blogs but especially on Alzis' (and Liams)

LUMI isnt too active but I honestly love Lumi I want her to be okay but like, yknow there's trauma there, I dunno what exactly but you can tell there's something raaaaah, I love lumi,

KANE IS SO NEAT TOO KANEEEE kane whats going on with you im shaking him tell me more kane whats UP

writing this I realize there's a pattern of "you're really good at making me wanna see more" so I wanted to reiterate that. You're good at doing a hook, you're good at giving people just enougu to make them fucking CRAZY.

oh btw I love what youre doing with the multiversal stuff as well I've always loved multiverse plotlines.

Man, I hope these conpliments are any good, if its not you can just ignore this ask, I'm on anon gor a reason, so if this sucks you'll never know who sent it, yippee!

@tinkers-pokehub Im tagging you too because we're both writing this stuff

anyways I had to keep this in my askbox for a while and just. rotate it. hooollyyy shiit holy shit, cried a little (POSITIVE) seeing this. AUAOUGHH???

I have 0 coherent words besides "Thank you holy shit" and "There's a lot planned for the future" (especially for liam(+william @/sound-type-advocate), alzis, and paris!!! YIPPIEEEE

[its-no-biggie]

SO I WATCHED RESTORATION lets do a quick rundown of my little prediction chart. spoilers under the cut!

I FUCKING CALLED EPSILON TEX COMING BACK ???????

cant believe ZERO got canonized but nothing from temple. we were robbed.

not only no grimmons love confession, but THEY SPLIT UP?????? i wasnt genuinely expecting them to get together or anything but like holy shit. literally the plot of season 15 was grif wanting to split up and realizing that wasnt actually what he wanted. this is not their happy ending what the FUCK. like it was in character and kind of a nice moment, but not as the closure at the very end??? hello??????

predicted both one of the r&bs dying and (kind of) epsilon being dead. im a genius 💪

on that note. i cant believe they KILLED one of the main characters and it wasnt even good angst. tucker fucking killed him???? and then it never comes up again???? the only reason i wanted that to happen was because tucker is the villain!!! he killed him!!!! he should have to reconcile with that!!!! but he just. doesnt?????

still no wash/epsilon interactions. also washs whole presence in this movie was confusing and bad. just didnt make any sense. disappointing

the amount of red team screentime was good though! the reds were easily the best part of this movie. also caboose <3

um. the ending was much worse than i could have predicted. see above. also the "why are we here" thing was WAYYY overused. i appreciate a good callback but like have some restraint jesus christ

and of course the top left corner was bang on. meta!tucker was..... i think in a vaccuum and with better pacing i wouldve really liked it. theres some good angst potential there, but it makes no sense with the rvb meta (haha) and is not well executed. disappointing. and the other fragments had almost no lines :(

final notes. what the fuck did i just watch. honestly its about what i expected - has potential but poorly executed. but my GOD is it poorly executed. they really butchered most of the main cast - not in terms of like, dialogue, per se, but in terms of like. character arcs? most of the character moments would be at home in season 6 even though its supposed to be post-13. and donut isnt even in it! even though theres a moment that was CLEARLY written for donut!! also the twist with doc is somehow both predictable and makes no fucking sense. the exposition is painfully bad, and wastes its time on going over shit we already know while leaving gaping holes that are never explained. the ending is awful and the post credits scene is even worse. and the PACING. this shit is WAYYY too short for everything theyre trying to do, so theres absolutely no time to build tension or care about whats happening. just bad writing all around. but like. it couldve been good. i did have fun watching it. im planning to watch it again so i can fully digest it, and i cant WAIT to read fanfic about it. and there are some really funny moments! but its bad. its a bad season. EASILY worse than the 4 full seasons of material they retconned. honestly.... a fitting end for the show. and i mean that derogatorily

[funkii-fox]

I dont understand people that intentionally get themselves into discourse or trigger themselves on purpose and stuff like that. Its like… do u have nothing better to do?

I have this friend on instagram and hes fun but DEAR. GOD. Hes so negative.

Today i got back from school, sweating as all hell and red faced due to the Texas heat, and i got onto instagram to chill out. “I wonder what my beloved mooties are up to.” And when i press on this guy’s story, its like 5 fucking stories of rants abt selfshippers that make ocs to ship w characters and draw the ocs into the anime style.

GET A LIIIIIIFFFFFEEEEE

You never have to like something if u truly dont like it, BUT HOLY FUCK. How do you get through life getting this fucking triggered over every small thing that people enjoy? This guy went on and on crying abt “ooo i hate women” “this character is gay so u cant self ship w them if ur a woman” “im such an edge lord” “these ocs are so bland” “mlm and wlw is superior” “dont make a male stone ocean oc” “women shouldn’t be into jojos bc its a masc anime” get a life. Touch some goddamn grass. Get off the internet.

Anyone can see that this guy is going ape shit over something only privileged ppl would, but it also hits a little too close when hes attacking selfshippers: my people. I dont usually do oc x canon nor do i draw my self shipping, but these people that hes losing his shit over are still my family. And so its like hes attacking me in a way. And the only reason he doesn’t find me cringe is bc i self ship through writing and do self insert. Like if i were just a little different, he would be directing his misogynistic rants towards me. Odd. It makes me wonder if he does think im cringe and look down on me but wont say it bc of our friendship

Best thing is: this guy has ocs. “Ooo but theyre actually cool” what if i disagree? Would i be justified in saying that his ocs are trash? No? Bc thats rude? 🧐 (sarcasm)

Even better: this guy claims to be an artist yet uses ai to make ocs. Like not to draw them but get an idea of the design. I told him hes not using ai ethically and he should know better but he doesn’t care. But if i used his art and put it in ai that would be messed up. Goofy behavior.

I originally bonded w this guy bc we both hate bruja arianna and the “fem trans masc” thing (And tbh i still do: this mockery of trans men needs to stop and cis women need to stop being weird abt trans guys in general). But he goes so fucking far in his hate. He stalks bruja ari just to make himself seethe and then does rants on his story. Like ??? Is ur life that boring?? U rlly have nothing else to do?? U couldn’t do anything else in the world?

And a nit pick: this guy constantly announces that hes horny and other horny stuff. And it comes across as so middle school. It feels like a 7th grader trying to be funny. Like dude, being horny is normal and all but no need to announce it to the world bc i promise no one cares.

This guy, that is my age (his birthday is literally in the same month) has the brain of an edgy middle schooler. And i just thank god that im not like that. His negativity gets me down as a mere witness, i cant imagine how negative the inside of his brain is

[swordsmans]

I am absolutely, completely, irrevocably in love with your writing. Do you have many WIPs? Any future projects? I want to know everything. I want to read everything. Literally cannot express how much your works on ao3 moved me. They’re everything I’ve ever wanted and more. You write ZoLu so so so well. You’re amazing. I’m on my knees. Just take my soul already.

(Any fic recs btw? I trust you with my life.)

oooh my god i am going to cherish this ask for life, thank you so so much aaaaa THIS IS SO NICE. YOU'RE SO NICE. holy shit, holy shit.

i confess, albatross (the "straw hats wake up on dawn island and meet ASL + [[spoilers]]" fic) is my only official WIP right now, and it is actually my last planned multichap/longfic! i started 2023 with three "big" ideas, and they became poly philtatos, ocean theology, and that. i don't really know what/if i'm going to do after it's finished, heh. only time will tell... for both of us!

however, i do have a masterlist full of ideas for oneshots under 15k, and i pull from those ideas for warm-ups (or just generally or when i'm in the mood to write something from start to finish in a sitting or two). and i also have a few AUs i've been tossing around (see: reaper zoro au; doomed timeline au)! since you asked specifically about zolu, here are five things from the masterlist doc (:

accidental marriage

they accidentally get married during a battle celebration, thinking the hosts are just doing something special

crew saves a random island, the leader wants to make an alliance/go under protection of the straw hats by offering up one of their one as a “lifetime companion” as tribute or something

luffys like i already have a “w/e” it’s zoro

island is like “how wonderful, allow us to honor you”

zoro and luffy are like uhh sure whatever (they are wholly unsupervised at this point) almost to the end of the ceremony or w/e nami and robin find them?

(ceremony leader is like kiss kiss! and zoro is so drunk and luffy is having so much fun that luffy does kiss him and they both think it’s hilarious)

robin is like “oh. oh my. they are married now” and nami thinks it’s hilarious

luffy tried to figure out what you’re supposed to do when you’re married, but most of it is stuff they do already

sanji gives them shit re: kissing (thinking it's new) and “we’ve already done that already—stupid sanji” re: dinghy boy makeouts

basically zoro and luffy have no idea what being married entails because neither had parents in traditional “relationships”

turns out none of the straw hats no what you do when you’re married (no examples in the backstories lol???), and the answers get more and more ridiculous as the story goes on

ultimately, nothing changes

set before water 7

epilogue (post time skip or smth) where either 1) post time skip, luffy and zoro end up in an almost identical situation and jinbei is like “do you understand what you’re saying” and zoro and luffy are like “yes????” and nami and usopp start dying laughing (basically--for years no one bothers to tell franky, brook, and jinbei that theyre married)

alternate outsider/straw hat POV

robin is like “you’re pirates, you can do whatever you want. you can ignore it/pretend it never happened.” luffy is like “NUH-UH, a promise is a promise”

jinbei franky brook trying to explain marriage to luffy—luffy is like “how do you know you’re NOT married??” and they’re like ???? but also roll with it. someone says “well, you are not together with that person anymore” or smth

zoro, are we together? (what—i’m right here) we’ll, duh, stupid. but are we together? (well we aren’t apart, are we?)

luffy wakes zoro up to tell him he loves him (excited!) and it’s cute bc zoro is annoyed

luffy runs up, kisses zoro full on the mouth, zoro rolls with it—luffy laughs and runs off, zoro gives him a thumbs up (but is LOSING IT internally) // “EW don’t kiss me with your mouth full, fuck!”

xxx

AU where zoro is a bounty hunter constantly chasing luffy as the series goes on (and they slowly fall in love or smth)

xxx

luffy hates having his wounds cleaned because of the water (so zoro does it)

both pre-timeskip and post-timeskip moments

the sunny’s filter is good but not miraculous, so all the water they have on the sunny is brackish

the seawater makes the whole thing more uncomfortable; luffy is injured in a particularly dirty (poison? Mud?) fight and getting him to bathe is difficult enough—he is being particularly stubborn about letting chopper clean the wounds themselves (maybe he doesn’t even bathe at all—just makes nami summon a rainstorm so he doesn’t have to deal with an actual bath, which means his wounds really do need to be properly cleaned)

baths are the devil (so zoro keeps watch)

zoro presses his head between luffy’s shoulderblades and thinks of a time when things were simpler, their injuries were easier, and yet everything is still exactly the same

he looks at the wounds on luffy’s skin and knows that they make him a failure, but he knows, too, that this is why he follows Luffy—his strength, the way he takes a fight head-on and wins. His willingness to give his body for others, too, to fill the cracks between them and make up for what they lack. Like fighting with swords in the rain. [recall water 7]

these are some of the only moments when luffy sits still long enough to be held, not the one holding for once.

xxx

before nami, zoro learns to keep one hand on his captain at all times—otherwise he’ll fall into the ocean without him realizing it (zoro learning to keep luffy in his sight/learning to be watchful and protective of someone else, because luffy keeps fucking drowning)

hand holding, touch, learning to be a family when neither of them know what family means

this evolves as time passes to zoro just generally keeping an eye on luffy, being in tune with him, etc. nightmares, fights, thoughts, etc.

luffy knows he can do stupid stuff because zoro will be there to back him up (alternate pov? or zoro notices luffy pushing "bullshit" boundaries and just rolling with it)

sharing the same braincell: the origin story

xxx

waterfall + pool + river; fluff with introspection

vingette of luffy and zoro on an island, there’s a river—zoro is trying to catch fish with his bare hands (to impress luffy) but keeps failing.

Luffy is on the bank watching, laughing, eventually zoro gives up and tries to slice up the fish in the water (it works) but it muddies the water;

luffy starts throwing things into the water and making zoro dive for them, ostensibly so zoro can strengthen his lungs (per zoro’s request);

they talk about how luffy feels re: not being able to touch water, missing out on experiences, etc.

why is luffy sitting still long enough for this? Nami told him he had to stay with zoro and NOT cause problems on the island (everyone agrees this is a bad idea but for some reason it works this time)

xxx

ALSO. I HAVE LOTS OF FIC RECS ACTUALLY.......... BUT I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENT POST ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THIS IS UHH... stupid long lmao.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK ILY!!!!!!!! <33333

[taegularities]

Rid you're crazyyyyyyyyyyy

just finished cmi11 IM FUCKING CRYING holy shit that was so good oh god

first of all the conversation between oc and her mom made me cry so hard- it hit home for me, as a girlie with mommy issues, that part felt so real to me. Oc's courage to stand up for herself like that and tell her how much she hurt her own daughter is something i dont have in me. It broke my fucking heart, that yearning feeling, i cant believe you put that specific feeling into words rid [are u part of the mommy issues community as well🧐 or are u just that amazing, a true fucking artist (i saw that anon calling you the beyonce of ff and i agree 100%)] idk how to describe my feelings rn, that part definitely left a mark in my heart, ill never forget it

second the domesticity in these two dorks oh my goddddd they're driving me crazy, theyre so cute and in love and im in love with them and i want to cry bc i want what they have but bc irl men suck the hopeless romantic in me is gonna have to live through fanfics for the rest of my life and that makes me fucking miserable but bless the fanfic gods like you that keep my soul alive, idk what id do without you

lastly that scareeeeee oh god like i knew itd be a negative but it had my heart beating out of my ass (idk if thats a phrase) but the way they handled it oh god, the emotionsssssss the fears and insecurities, just reminded me that theyre human, even if theyre the most fucking adorable characters ever, theyre still human and i loved seeing such nuance. You really are doing an amazing job rid, not only writing the story, scenes and dialogue, but also the way you write these characters in such depth, its so fucking refreshing to see.

i want to kiss your beatiful head that holds your beautiful brain, seriously ive never ever been so enchanted by a piece of writing before (and i read so much fanfiction its like an addiction) you are by far my strongest fix. For real tho, your writing, and particularly cmi has touched me deeply and I'll never ever forget it. So thank you

Rest assured and stop doubting yourself bc youre seriously incredible and so fucking talented. Now rest up and take care of yourself, i imagine its not easy to birth such work (i mean 36k you monster, i loved every second of it but damn girl take a break before you burn your brain out) but no srsly i hope youre eating well, sleeping well and doing things that make you happy and relaxed. You deserve all the best of this world rid🫂🩷

sincerely ~ 🐼✒️anon

panda hi hello oh my gosh, sorry for being late, but you mentioned so many important things, so i wanted to take my time HELLO!! never stop sending these lovely af reviews 🥺

i know... she really is inspiring bc the courage to stand up against someone you feared for so long is admirable. i'm part of both the mommy and daddy issues community even though it's gotten a lot better lol like i wonder why it's such a recurring theme in my fics 🤣 i'm so sorry you could relate to oc :( but i'm glad you liked the scene so much.

and ahhh the domesticity 🤧 it's been so so fun and relaxing to write!! real life romance can be hard to find, yeah :') so i guess writing these scenes and chapters has been extra cathartic (although it drives me crazy, too — the next chapter has been making me so jejfhdjjsgd), but here's to finding a cmi jk irl soon :') much more to come!!!🕯️

the scare was one hell of a ride 🥺 i cried a lot!! and even i have been realising lately that i sometimes try to make my characters flawless, but that's actually not what i wanna go for. i always snap out of it and then try to make them flawed bc they're human, and i think the cmi couple, despite how endearing they are, is definitely vv flawed :') thank you for pointing that out 🥺

your strongest fix?? girl PLEASE ILL CRY 😭💔 i love you so much, you're so sweet for saying that and seeing me in such a way, pls i want you here forever <3 i rested a lot after cmi11! but ngl, cmi11.5 almost burned me out ksjdhehd gonna rest even more after that hehe. tyssssm, i hope you're well and healthy and i appreciate you so much for your kindness, reassurances and love for this series/me. love you so much 🤍

[ghastbutlikegay]

Omg you talked about 2012 TMNT and I suddenly remembered how much of that show I watched when I was younger,,, oh the nostalgia. I don't remember all too much from it now but I remember loving it. I've never watched rottmnt but like. I probably should if it's as good as everyone has been saying it is

honestly i only watched a little bit of 2012 as a kid, i was never super into that style/genre of cartoon so i only watched it if it happened to come on hjsdghj

rottmnt is SO good. it's very very different to 2012 in a lot of ways, but the art and the writing and the voice acting are all sososo good. the characterization for all the turtles is super different as well so if youre used to a snarky Raph and a. well. a Rob Paulsen Donnie. you might not vibe with Rise at first

but thats one of the things i really love about the entire franchise, each version keeps the core concept (four mutant turtles raised by a rat are trained to be ninjas) and most of the characters the same while also all being really unique and having different takes on all the characters. i enjoy this aspect of the franchise to the point that im making my own fan reboots and everything hjksdhg

the main reason i initially watched Rise was because i heard Donnie was really good autistic rep and i have to agree, ive never connected with a character this much before hgjsdhg hes also a really good example of low empathy imo, and i very much feel like my own experience with low empathy is being represented here

the art is something i see people complain about a lot when theyre coming from a background of watching 2012 or 2003, and i definitely felt like the art was kinda weird at first, but it's also so fun and striking and as you get used to it and start picking up on little details it gets better and better

a lot of classic TMNT villains dont make appearances in Rise, and the ones who do are WAY different to the older versions, but they also have a whole ton of new villains who are super cool and compelling as well (Draxum and Big Mama my beloved <3)

the movie can technically be watched as a standalone but i highly recommend saving it til youve watched both seasons because HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THE EMOTIONS. the scene that always makes me cry probably wouldnt hit me the way it does if i didnt have all the background of the seasons

notes on where to watch though: netflix has season 1 and the movie, but i dont actually know how to legally watch season 2, and the site i used for it unfortunately shut down so i can provide links :(

oh god this got really long can you tell tmnt has entered special interest territory for me

[thegeminisage]

man theres so many CHESTS just laying around in the zora area

also it is AAALLWAYS raining girl let me CLIMB

these underwater/underground ruins are SO COOL i wish i'd seen these the first time i was here

YOOOOOOO MY FUCKING CLIMBING BOOTS. FOUND THEM!!!!!!!!!

shrine puzzle here where i gotta take the crystal and follow the beam. i am quite clearly supposed to build a raft, but there are materials for a bike. decided against this bc i love rafting in this game and also bc of the low ceiling, even though with the crystal as a counterweight the low ceiling ought to be no problem

actually, i should have done the bike. rafting is more fun when you're going with the current and not against it and also i'm dying to see how my new battery holds up <3

BIKE GOOD...i can't wait to get a chance to properly put it thru its paces

oh man i did a really long korok trip that with my old battery i wouldn't have been able to do!!!

there's a BED? up here at the reservoir. i slept in it expecting my bike to despawn but it was still there when i woke up

and a sidequest for helping this zora get stones for mipha's court...good i could use a break lol

NIIIICE zora fabric!!

god the music in mipha court still fucking kills me. it's crazy bc i didn't even LIKE mipha that much in the first game!! like ofc i cared about her, but she wasn't eating holes in my brain. but man...........

CLIMBERS BANDANAAAAAAAAAA AT FUCKING LAST

back in the ancoent zora waterworks for 1. zora greaves quest and 2. Frog. it's still really cool in here...

oh shit the water is gone!!! crazy..............

GOT MY GREAVES!!!

holy shit i just fused a weapon with 104 atk lol i can NEVER use this i have to save it for ganondorf. and a club with 72 atk wtf

well, i broke them immediately. i equipped one for a sneakstrike and i guess i forgot to unequip it so i must've broken them in this fight cuz they're both gone :(

uh...no...their attack got halved...? maybe i had some kind of effect going for me in the waterworks? water attack up or something? but i hadn't had any special food or armor...

OH i see! the zora swords i used for fusion have atk up when wet. it was raining and now it stopped lol. i almost panicked

:| i saved blood moon guy again and he said OH I KNEW YOU'D COME...like.........adn now he is like well i can do my research w/o fear. u always rescue me. buddy one day theyre gonna roast you over their little campfire before my ass gets here. then what. freak

oh damn he gave me a diamond??? ok fine ig

found another high/low tide cave. i like it better than the last one, probably bc this time i'm not trying to steer a shivery purse dog npc thru it on a raft

my rubber tights!!!!!!! FINALLY i can ride and farm farosh like she deserves. mwah

ANOTHER block puzzle i can't get...am i just stupid???

got my lightscale trident! unfortunately i am definitely gonna break it bc i do not have room for it in my house lol

lol sidon's wife says he talks about link constantly. "link is the best" "no task is insurmountable when i am with link" is he like. ok. like man are you happy are you like good? crackpot theory sidon like zelda canonically has a crush but it's up to us the decide if it's requited lol. i seriously tinfoil hat think he's gay. like is this all accidental writing sure but also. good lord

i am not against sidon getting hitched or whatever but this whole thing is so WEIRD...................

THE MAN HAS A STATUE OF THEM. LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE whatever look it's fine. i'm normal. this is so normal. i think this is why i left in a hurry last time actually. weird vibes i get around here. i can't be doing this shit during pride month

happily this is all i have time for today. tomorrow i wanna try doing more story lol the right side of my map is so close to being clear but i need a break!!!

[nicegaai]

breaking this into one shots hmmmm what would that look like hmmmm.

ok this is getting long maybe this isnt oneshots but the overall definitely not half assed timeline im piecing together of their lives mostly focused on iceland bc i know more ab icelandic history than norwegian

might recycle old ficlet of nor finding out ice exists. it doesnt gel w current headcanons anymore, so maybe not. in any case, i start by establishing their first meeting or first impressions or something like this. either in person, or via messenger. downplaying the psychic connection stuff.

nor and his collection of letters from ice and how he feels about the little guy. and some of ices life from his narration to nor in the letters. ive had this letter correspondence hc for a long time i think i could have fun w it. i wanna research rune sticks again

oh my god. wha t if i . what if i made this a part 2 of my vinsaga crossover oneshot i keep meaning to finish writing ........ anywayz nor comes to visit via bargaining w trading ships and den comes with him to meet ice for the first time. (this is denmarknorway's twin realms era) and i want to establish where and how ice lives on his own, if its on his own. all that. i have a few conflicting thoughts on his living situation. and ofc it changes over time.. but he is a lonely boy. and the two come w lots of gifts and he does his best to b hospitable. hes jealous that den knows his brother so well and sees nor more than he does. hes too loud. but hes really nice :'( denmark is like holy shit nor you have a mini me

kalmar era n5 living together cliche setting, something something iceland isnt strong enough (old enough) to be away from his home for long. long being a few years to a decade, time moves differently and all. he wants to stay but doesnt want to stay but knows he will miss everyone but isnt holding up well in mainland scandinavia. is granted permission to go home. cries about it. he plans to come back when he's well, but then the situation collapses politically while he's gone. he begins to write to norway again.

they spend a medieval midwinter holiday together. not for the first time or the last. i want this one to happen soso bad but research would b a whole thing and i havent done it so i cant even say much rn. its at denmarks house because a) he really cares about keeping their facsimile of a family together b) iceland belongs to him now post-kalmar so he'd be there either way. nor comes. sweden comes with him. finland also comes, because sweden wants him to + finland misses everyone too and its nice. theyre reconciling on a personal level / having a NICE FAMILY XMAS and we're NOT FIGHTING ABOTU POLITICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUCE until new years!!!!! and ice spends the whole time ignoring the elephants in the room and going omg..... nor way looks so cool .... wow .......... and nor hangin out w him to avoid drama n being like iceee u got tallerrr i missed u i wuv u!!<- beaming these thoughts into his head but otherwise being like Hello.......... important to note that iceland is still a creepy child, this is important to me. finland is sick of the thick tension between den & su and goes over to where ice and nor are coloring and is like hi guysss what r u doingg and iceland turns around dead stare and is like this is my depiction of the end of the world in fire and blood. my medium of choice today: the humble crayon. hes like idk seven or eight. and they didnt have crayons then but whatever. and nor is like he has such an artistic soul ... im in charge of drawing the parade of demons. their resemblance is uncanny in both appearance and weird aura. and finland gets to be in charge of drawing something else and they 3 have a good time together while denmark and sweden try to amicably bake cookies together. greenland is outside avoiding everyone this-house-is-a-fucking-nightmare style and faroe didnt even show up btw. and sweden only brought norway ..... and finland. not because hes in love with him or anything

laki volcanic eruption ficlet. 1700s. (this might be too dramatic of a timeskip i might be missing some things). iceland is deathbed-ill and den sends nor in his stead to check on him. no den doesnt have any power over nor, he is worried as a father but isnt able to leave his duties and he knows nor is even more worried than him. he brings many gifts courtesy of den and some from him. food, supplies .. he doesnt know how bad it is yet. i have a whole thing for this. he stays through the first winter, at least. maybe a year. i dont think he can afford to be away from his own lands for long, the eruption aftermath is bad all over. but nor DOES believe for a while that iceland might die (he wont. maybe naturally, of poisoning, but he comes back.) and stays in iceland longer than he should. just in case. this is also ice's beginning of adolescence mayb??????? he had a very slow start of 700 years as a child but either shortly before the event, or after he survives this, he gets another growth spurt.

iceland is spending a Proper Christian Christmas / winter holidays / end of the year celebration at denmarks, some years later. specifics depend on what research will turn up. uhh the french revo happened the usa exists now. more importantly, norway and iceland BOTH come to christmas this year. and ice is around the age nor was when they first met (11? 13?) and nor is now late teens early 20s. aaaand this is where icelands crush rly starts to take off. 7 bullet points in, yes. he and nor havent seen each other in a while and nor is excited to see him again finally not just in letter correspondence! and iceland is excited to see him too! but when they SEE each other ice feels Strange and way more nervous than he should be and doesnt know what to do,, and avoids him and hides in his room a lot ... and nor is like Ohhh hes at That Age ... hes a big boy now he thinks hes too cool for his old man *cracks knuckles* time to be the most annoying guy on the planet. and hits him with like the "look who finally left his cave" when ice comes out for dinner ......... their perception of the situation is so mismatched but they survive the holidays eventually. (my gut feeling is iceland asks den for advice pretty quick, and denmark just Doesn't Get It because ice is too vague with the problem. he's like aw it's been a while since youve seen each other but you're brothers and he loves you, dont be scared haha! but you know when u have a crush and its unmistakable? iceland knows whats wrong pretty quickly. and hes definitely goign to hell. hes up in his room all day on that damn rosary praying for salvation) (actually maybe norway DOES pick up on what's happening. not immediately but maybe by the end of it all. he didnt need words) (and even with words denmark doesn't get it) the way he gets all flustered is so cute, he wants to spoil him more or tease him more or something. its too bad ice'll grow out of it soon and then he really WILL be too cool for his old man :(

norway invites him to his home for hunting season-- they can shoot some big game that iceland can't get at his home.. theyve done this before over the years, these days they use guns but they didnt used to. elk jerky is a nostalgic flavor for ice ... hes Nervous about this trip though. being alone..just him and norway. with no buffer or room to hide in. once there, iceland stops calling norway his brother. hed stopped in his letters a while ago, just talking around it, but now nor can TELL tell. ice isnt sure he ever understood what "brother" meant to him, but he doesn't feel good about using it anymore. nor is hurt but doesnt really say much about it beyond asking ices reasoning. ice might go so far as to confess to him, being 14 and insane. and nor is like yeah i know its a phase dw. and ice is like oh .......... and somewhere in here they have a little nor 'indulging him in a kiss after he insisted on it /instigates it' drama and then being like thats all you get. im not doing this with you, i see you as a son. and he really thinks thats fine and normal to say and theyll both move on but it really fucks ice up. the rest of the trip, theres some teasing thats lighthearted on nors part but ice Really Cannot Take it. his letters following this get shorter. and shorter

iceland is finally in high school. his growth is coming in fits n spurts and hes passable as a high schooler now (the babyface kept working against him) which is soooo awesome. its the early 1800s. he gets a high class education at a 3~5 year boarding school for proper young men near copenhagen. only the best for denmarks favorite stepson. iceland is a booksmart kind of kid hes always been destined for academia. but unfortunately hes a shortking fish out of water that gets moderately bullied. but i think hes good with cold words to fire back so earns enough respect to not get wedgied or anything stupid. he also would go insane in a fistfight given the opportunity. but yes he isnt really there to make bougie connections w danish kids, this is about him and having this experience thats so trendy and cool right now, all the other young guys at his house aspire to do what he's doing. education is so cool and hes not very concerned about much else. he doesn't write to norway anymore. norway hasn't written to him much either. denmark reeeeally wants him to come to his home for christmas holidays and whatnot but he insists on going Home-home on his breaks. sorry denmark he doesn't enjoy family gatherings he wants to be alone ....

they see each other again. its brief, a day or so, and not something they planned ahead. an overlapping holiday with denmark or a meeting with sweden over something. iceland wasnt meant to be there but hes shadowing denmarks government work. they meet essentially as nations, surrounded by officials and bosses and humans. iceland doesn't want to talk to him. nor gets them two a moment alone and iceland drops the professionalism and goes full teen drama mode. DONT TOUCH ME .... im still in love with you ... and norway is like. wtf come on. and then buys him lunch and tries to get him to be normal. because nor is like youre my brother so i love you anyway. okay. i dont hate you. just breathe

wwi. wwii. then icelands independence. that's a lot of ground to just Not Cover but idk,,, i could just not. im more interested in learning ab the industrial revolution coming to iceland. i know a little ab how there used to be One Train in iceland and i think thats funny. i digress. iceland does a lot of growing up in a relatively short period of time. theres so much i could say. i also love the story ab danish royalty attending the very first independence celebrations, i think denmark would come. and maybe norway .. ,???????? and he'd be awful about nor beign there. idk. time period stuff

theyre both independent countries now and have to meet on business and honestly the whole awkward troubled teenager thing is so oldddd nor just doesnt careeeee. nor is convinced ices crush is a phase of several hundred years and hes half annoyed half flattered, overall misses him since ice is all uuuu tormented about it. well, nor isnt even mad ab it he just wants to be close with his baby brother again. after work he invites him out for a drink. just to talk and loosen up a bit. ice is hesitant but gets a push from his boss / aide who are like this would be good for you!! just say yes! (they dont know anything) and ice is like ugh fine but im only drinking a little bit. he is of age to drink low percentage alcohol, no shots or anything. and they have fun and talk. nor is only good at talking when hes not sober and ice knows this. they talk ab a lot of nothing at all and it heals ices soul about 4%.

they drink after work more often. they only get that chance a couple times a year, usually with other people around. iceland is getting more comfortable with this, but hes still not around so often. hes far away and values his privacy and is still newly independent. he doesn't want to be or feel back under anyone's wing. he misses denmarks typical family christmas (now hosted every other year at swedens house) for a few years claiming to be overworked, needing the rest, and disliking travel around the holidays. those years are when den and nor show up on his doorstep on new years day breaking plates and shit. and they bring him leftover christmas cookies and presents. nations dont do xmas/bday presents every year to me, because thats way too much to think about when ur immortal and years go by quickkk ... but ice always gets presents because hes the youngest and they cant help themselves

part 2 of above. consider this!!!!!!: denmark has to leave right away and hes sad ab it but nor has the time to spend an extra night. they still have extra mulled wineeeeeeee ... and various alcohols. they drink together and iceland gets a little silly with it. traumadumps about having a thing for him how fucked up it was of him to kiss nor that one time and he feels so bad he violated him like that and nor is like *non sober thoughts* i know how i can fix him. and kisses him. et cetera see original post. they make out for a while and then go to bed but like literally. maybe theyre both in the same bed but fully clothed. they pass out. next day nor has a flight to catch and ice drives him to the airport. they dont talk about it. norway presses a kiss to his forehead before he leaves , confusing ice further.

i lost about , 4 hours of my life typing this i think. im cutting myself off RIGHT NOW before i lose my whole day off

if i was brave i would hammer out my ocs for greenland and faroe and give ice some siblings to throw some contrast between how they feel about norway and how iceland feels about him.

hey wait this is 99 percent gen fic what gives. another sad sad case of what if you took the ship material out to cast a wider net of interest on your insane niche project ????????????? but unfortunately the incest is vital to the experience and this iceland interpretation. plus i wouldn t be likely to finish or start this if it was strictly platonic whalebrothers

having nor/ice thoughtssssssssssssss sad sad whiny kitty cat noises. wahhhh. im thinking about them wahhhhhhhh. WAHHH

what if i took all my small canonverse ideas and compiled them into ONESHOTSSSSS........................................ and what if they were CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED ..... and showed RELATIONSHIP PROGRESSION over the course of 1000 years ...... and it wasnt that deep but i pretended it was and called it something like "i was meant to keep you warm" because i love to steal fox/i/ng lyrics. maybe even id find a way to make this a 5 times + 1 time format.

if i can wrestle my way into figuring out what goes on in nors head i could do it. ive figured that i want ice to never ever see him as a brother. my vision is that nor is iceladns hot babysitter fantasy and first crush that never goes away. he wants to marry him when he grows up but then his feelings stay that way and it never ever ever ever ever goes away and only gets worse. u understand? do u see it

and UNFORTUNATELY nor knows ic/eland likes him from the beginning. he can tell from like ice's adolescence onwards and is like yeah idk about all that...... but the attention is flattering and he loves this little guy so much and thinks its sweet. he doesnt get to visit often but ice writes him a lot because hes in love with him ykwim and nor loves him so much too (platonic) and always writes back.

and yeah they go through periods of living together for various reasons. sickness unions famines etc etc. not ever for long and nothing ever happens. if adolescent iceland pushed boundaries, nor would humor him a little with like...a kiss, bc he spoils him, but ultimately he hard-shuts it down. and ice would be traumatized forever and block the memory out / be eternally tormented at night by the time he did such and such so is the worst person alive etc

and ice begins teen life with the whole he will never love me and i am a tormented soul shtick. now he writes to him less, tries to put more distance between them... so it hurts less and all that. hes not GOOD at pretending he hates nor or whatever but its easy to lose connection when messages are rare and visits are rarer

he spends much more time at denmarks than with no.rway. he sees den.mark as a proper older brother / uncle / fatherly figure. hes closer emotionally to him and lives with him more and all that. his tutors are danish and he goes to boarding school in cop.enhagen in the 1800s. idk how this ties into the romance necessarily but its timeline relevant. whether or not denmark picks up on the crush , i dont know. i could go either way lol. also, den + nors relationship is strictly brotherly btw. ironically. because theres not enough fics where theyre platonic and i really do enjoy them that way too

nor and ice remain distant for several hundred years. its once ice gets into his pushing for independence mixed with modern technology for better communication ..... somewhere between say, the invention of the airplane and landline phones, nor and ice repair their relationship. iceland is coming into adulthood (independence) for real, and is SO mature about his international relationships. he can be so mature and normal about norway. he can sit down with him and have lunch and discuss business and norway wont talk down at him for being young at all (lie) and he'll be so chill about that and not yell at him (he only does it once) (he only has to do it once)

all this isnt to say n.orway himself didnt attempt to stay close over the years, but ic.eland wasnt reciprocating, and even if they saw each other every year at christmas (doubt) that doesnt make them really CLOSE. but i think iceland was always particularly special to him bc of how close they were as kids. and they WERE both kids back then. little icela.nd sent him letters while nor was like 14 at best. i believe in teen mom norway and his eldest sondaughter icey. at least from nors perspective. even tho hes so absent so much of the time. when he comes around he showers him in gifts as a love language even way back when

anyway, ice.land still has an obvious crush on nor and nor finds it SO cute. like he could just pinch his cheeks and coo at him for it. ice tries to keep a lid on his emotions but can only do so much. nor doesnt SAY anything to point sus behavior out. but as soon as he notices,,,, its like there was no time apart, to nor. ice is so closed off and stiff and weird around him and nor wishes he would relax so they can connect properly and he honestly CANT

the solution is to drink otgether i think. at some point. maybe not immediately but they'll get to it.

icela.nd isnt like oohg im too young to drink, i think hes just lived long enough that hes a bit Over It / doesnt want to act like an idiot / really doesnt want to act like an idiot in front of nor. but nor could peer pressure him into anything if he really tried so they finally get tipsy together and i think that goes a long way to repair their relationship.

they do this many times and as long as ice is careful to not drink a lot he'll be fine. hes gotta keep his wits about him and still be able to feel shame. one time he indulges a little hard and i think ice trauma dumps on him and they kiss to make up for the time nor pushed him away and nor didnt realize he was still hurting so much about that. nor is tipsy enough to do it (not even drunk) and afterwards he goes ohh wait i kind of enjoyed that. and do it a few more times then make out for a while and it doesnt go anywhere, they fall asleep

the next day they completely remember kissing and know the other remembers it and just mutually dont talk about it.

icelan.d is VISIBLY struggling even harder around him for at least a few days until he gets a handle on his emotions. and nor has a lot to think about. in general.

i dont know where the dna stuff comes in. im falling asleep while typeing this

but icelan.d obvioiusly is like wtf? we arent related. thats impossible. i cant even fathom this. and nor.way is like you are the closest i will ever have to family and i am your biological father and icel.and is like what the fuck ew you can say brother as much as you want but never say father again im begging you and nor is like Bet.

and then they test and they're first degree related. father or brother would be appropriate. and nor is like yeah obviously (already believed this when he kissed him) and ic.eland is like (max harlow voice) SUICIDE !! SUICIDE !!

icelan.d sits with that information for a while but his crush still doesnt go away. nor gives him space and also sits with the information. he never thought he'd end up here but he decides that hes into it. its kinda hot. I Do believe in slutty n.orway supremacy i thnk hes slept with most of europe and doesnt have a strong internal sense of familial boundaries considering he is a landmass and is like yeah id do that again we're both adults hes cute whatever

next time they see each other nor comes onto him. and ice is squeemish about it but this is also everything hes ever wanted. whats he gonna do, say no?

at this point i fell asleep but im awake again uhhhh

ic.eland gets to cope with being a creep a weirdo and getting what he wanted in the worst way possible and nor gets to torment him with the brother thing not as a kink but bcz it makes him uncomfortable and he thinks its funny.

i forgot to talk about the actual oneshot ideas that inspired this in the first place didnt i. oh well

aaaaaaaaaaaaand post

[robitherat]

what’re some mh fanfic recs ? been trying to get back into reading more of em

am I allowed to plug my own AO3?

no but forreal tho, there's so many good ones im just gonna link my favs from my AO3 history (Note that most of these are Jam fics because im a basic little bitch and love my comfort couple okay)

putting a keep reading bc i added a LOT lmao

"Next to You" I think this was one of the, if not the absolute first fic i read for mh back in like. 2017/18? It's a wingfic/ angel and demon AU, and I'll admit its not the absolute most fantastic piece of literature, but it's a classic in my heart so

"One Day" Very Very adorable jam fic, post mh domestic bliss, there's chickens and disgusting amounts of fluff. Read It.

The entire Hotel Hopping series by rebiTV. Still semi-patiently awaiting the next upload because Oh My God. Just the usual hotel shenanigans. Some are funny, some are angsty, and the most recent post to it left us with a cliffhanger that i think killed my soul a little bit in the best way.

"3:27 am" A super well-written fic depicting Jay Going Through it. The whole thing is basically Jay dissociating, so slight warning for that, and it's kind of trippy to read but honestly it's so good dude.

"Lazy Mornings" This one's a Bram fic featuring some fluffy cuddling of unknown origins. Good little light read and one of my all time favorite fanfics ever.

Pretty much anything by jaythewriter, their work is fucking phenomenal and I rlly wish they'd post again honestly but also yknow. stuff happens. I'll just re-read all their works again instead.

"Don't You Hear Me Howling" Another bram one, this time featuring the Masked Boys and how complicated a relationship can be when your partners don't remember you when they wake up. It's super well written and makes me sob every time i read it <3

"Farm Boy" Super soft and sweet fic about Jay kind of remembering his love for farm animals when he and Tim have to stay in a barn for a night. TW for implied animal death (maybe? it's up to interpretation) but I swear it's an honestly really well-written soft fic that makes me feel so many feelings. I also just realized this is another from jaythewriter but yknow what it's so fucking good im keeping it.

"All The World Is Green" Honestly i don't even wanna describe this one you just have to read it. I promise it's worth it.

"CALL IT BLACKSTAR, CALL IT PAINSTAR" OH MY FUCKING GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IF YOU'RE A POLYHORNETS HAND READ THIS IMMEDIATELY HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD

"Never Write Lovesongs On The Ukulele" Collection of vignettes of Tim reminding Jay that he's in love with him. love

"To Cut The Taste" Very Early in the hotel hopping days, basically just an awkward conversation Jay and Tim have about Tim's trip to a gas station

"For The Loneliest Blackout" Super trippy to read, very dream-like. Highschool (?) AU with t4t jam and a whoooooollleeeee lotta metaphors. or just one really long metaphor.

"scenes from a movie" god okay iw was looking for this one for like an hour oh my god. Of all the fics ive read this one honestly sticks with me a lot just because of how fucking cool the writing style is to me. I loveeeee vignettes so much and this is one of the longest vignette fics ive read. it's so so so sos o good please read it it has a happy ending

"Build Your Own Noodles" and "Potato Cakes" Both by the same author, both brim, both adorable pre-canon fluff.

"who took heroin, then sleeping pills, and who lies in an alabama hospital" TW for bug imagery and also mention of spider bites. Listen I have entomophobia and arachnophobia so anything with bugs freaks me the fuck out but this is really well done and honestly just the way that it's handled is so fucking fun to read.

The Lost Time series. theres only two stories and theyre both great. A little funky to read because it's, of course, about jay and tim losing time and forgetting stuff about each other. I think there's some?? implied sexual content??? but it's not explicit and otherwise i don't think there's any necessary warnings

"Patterns of Safety" Basically just Jay and Brian bonding over having OCD. I fucking looveeeeeee Same Brain type fics and also jay and brian both having OCD scratches my brain. No One In This Series is neurotypical

"Starting Over At The End Of The Line" Finally a multichapter fic. I promise I read things other than oneshots i promise. N E ways this is pretty much a polyhornets everyone lives AU featuring Brian's lovely gay aunts. You'll notice I commented on almost every chapter because i Love THis Fic SO Much

"No One's Ever Going To Treat You Right; You're Attracting The Wrong Kind" This one isn't a shipfic actually!!! It's sort of Tim's spiraling reaction to finding out what Jay's been hiding from him and the events that lead up to the meeting in the parking lot. The imagery is sooooo fucking good in this one, it's honestly kind of disconcerting the way it's written just because of how In-his-head Tim is the whole time. it's soooo fucking good it's so good.

"psalm 38:8" OKAY LAST ONE this is a great one to end with. It's pretty much just Jay's introspection on his own standing with religion and also hopeless pining that maybe isn't so hopeless after all.

OKAY THIS IS REALLY LONG NOW LOL I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY PERSONAL LIBRARY OF JAM FICS BC IM INSANE ABT THEM
