(yes i had fun with the title card)
The time has come to complete my legacy.
First off, I highly recommend stopping by the list I made some time ago, because those turned out to be timeless classics, must-reads: clicky here click. Special thanks to @beegowhoosh and @mikayuumouse for inspiring me to update this one! If that list feels overwhelming, my personal favourites are: All The Memories Of You by collectingblues, waiting room by srxlee and enshroud me by @lost--dimension; my silly words are just not enough to recommend those enough, truly changed my brain chemistry.
yokohama bay hotel by spirallings [Words: 9.5k | Chapters: 1/1 | T]
Honestly, inject this fic in my bloodstream, I got emotional just opening it and rereading the first line to write this review. Social media AU with vlogger Aku who one day finds Atsushiâs music channel, reaches out to him to express his highest admirations, and the rest is a beautiful story of building trust, friendship and falling in love. Immaculate narration, easy flowing and so heartfelt, had me smiling (and crying but shh) throughout the whole thing. A unique storytelling style through the occasional tweets, texts, emails and subtle descriptions of the scene, mixed with classic narration, strikingly in-character dialogue and songs. Just open it to see what I mean, it is genuinely like nothing Iâve read before and I hold this story very close to my heart. There is also a 150 songs playlist that goes with the fic, def some bangers in there.
and the funny thing is i would have married you (if you had stuck around) by cheezee [Words: 11k | Chapters: 1/1 | T]
Time travel and reincarnation, a tragic (but hopeful nonetheless) story following Akutagawaâs death on that ship and Atsushi traversing space and time to find him again, and again⊠and again⊠with the cursed fate taking his love away from him. Itâs an emotional ride of happiness and melancholy, hope and despair, broken promises and lost memories. This reads as a classic tale of love, personally reminds me of a greek tragedy, and the writing is impressively poetic, simply pulling on the heartstrings.
...I wanna be next to you by Iyrs [Words: 2k | Chapters: 1/1 | G]
(i am definitely not biased because I made art for this, no sir) Wonderfully tasteful narration and the softest words of comfort, beautifully showing how much their relationship has progressed, the trust and ease and emotional vulnerability. There is one particular most domestic scene that lives in my mind rent-free, trust me and give this a quick read.
the plan (YOUR FINGERS) by lizandre [Words: 5k | Chapters: 1/1 | T]
Iâm gonna struggle a lot to explain this one lol (if the trust me bro argument is not enough). I could personally not find a better word to describe the style of writing than simply genius. If I may quote the author from the summary, this is a story of how âAkutagawa Ryunosuke loses it entirely.â It has the humor, it has the pain, it has the classic psychoanalysis that every good fic has of course. Basically Aku not realizing the emotional turmoil heâs experiencing is not being possessed or mind controlled or going mad, but simply falling in love. And Atsushi being the voice and hand of reason to get him out of his madness. Aku here is as unapologetically dramatic as any theatre kid could be, 10/10, not even trying. Just straight up check everything this person has written imao, this fic is just one of many masterpieces.
Safe Underground by forget_me_nots [Words: 25k | Chapters: 5/5 | M (Violence, Main Character Death)]
This one is a hidden gem, severely underrated, criminally low exposure. It is an AU based on the videogame Lobotomy Corporation (that I actually had no knowledge of, but you donât need to know it to enjoy the fic at all). Horror, gore and panic with close to zero comfort, grief of death and living nightmares. The style of writing is extremely skillful, with meaningful repeating motifs and metaphors. All of the characters are incredibly well-written and the growing friendship between our main duo in circumstances of utter tragedy is as enjoyable to read as ever. Pay attention to the coffee.
Moonlit Resurrection by june_berry [Words: 143k | Chapters: 16/? | E (Violence, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat)]
And while weâre on the theme of madness! I need to take a deep breath for this one. Incredibly depressing story on existentialism, trauma and self-destruction, told by poetic writing like no other. To quote the author: âAtsushi is hit by an ability that sends him spiraling. Forced to confront his traumatic past or die in two weeks, Atsushi begrudgingly teams up with the man he hasnât seen in years: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.â The highlight of this fic is honestly the narration style itself, it delves deep into Atsushiâs and Akutagawaâs minds and perfectly encapsulates their own deteriorating psyche. Deeply introspective. This was, strangely enough and despite the lack of comfort, a healing experience for me, basically a "Hey you see what happens to Atsushi when he got depressed, maybe don't do that." Worked wonders, truly. But be careful if youâre not in a good state of mind because it may have the opposite effect. Also cannot forget to give fair credit to @the-bengali-diva for incidentally introducing me to this one, theyâve even made paintings for the fic! Thank you truly, I would have never found this masterpiece alone!
Of Monsters and Men by Mississippi_moon [Words: 32k | Chapters: 18/18 | T]
On a brighter note! Mercenary Akutagawa failing to assassinate Atsushi, the Prince of Yokohama (and of course slowly falls in love with him instead). Made me smile and laugh and clutch my chest so many times, I just couldnât put it down [also kindly named my google docs analysis for this âthe royal dopamine injection*, i hope that says something on its own]. Very good humor mixed with equally good torture and suffering (and fluff and comfort!). The progression of sskkâs relationship is fantastic. Oh and Atsushi is a badass, thatâs very important, long live Boldsushi.
Ma meilleure ennemie by @falloutjuli [Words: 13k | Chapters: 1/1 | M]
I swear I keep stumbling upon this author by accident without realizing I know them and I keep being blown away by their work. If the Arcane reference title is not enough for you, this is a little story about Aku and Atsu being thrown into an unforeseen Parisian vacation, where they dance and get that 'oh, oh' moment. Absolutely perfectly in-character dialogue, with many funny and even more heartfelt moments, all spiced up with the classic sskk banter.
So let us stop talkin' falsely now, The hour's getting late by FallOutJuli (again) [Words: 17k | Chapters: 1/1 | T]
This story made me so happy, an instant fix for a bad day at work that I still remember and am grateful for. Slow burn 1920s AU with reporter Atsushi and singer Akutagawa, great banter and even greater collaboration between those two, gradually growing closer and learning they can trust and be good for each other, both finding a muse in the other.
all is finally quiet by @aurorahrt [Words: 2.5k | Chapters: 1/1 | M]
âDid you,â Akutagawa breathes, gasping as Atsushi presses the palms of his hands into Akutagawaâs shoulders, âknow you were going to live?â âNo,â Atsushi whispers, leaning close, eyes sharp. âI had a feeling, but⊠no. Did-,â âNo.â
There is simply no better collection of words to express my feelings than this quote. Please read this if you need something to soothe your heart after chapter 121.5, or just in general for an introspective character study focused on the ever so complicated relationship of sskk, flourished with beautifully written domestic fluff, anxieties and quiet comfort, soft kisses and even softer words of reassurance. I am almost tearing up again just writing this silly tiny review, those two have my heart and more.
And thatâs a wrap, see you in another half year when I possibly sort through 100 fics more! All of the above mean a lot to me, so please check them out if anything from my passionate ramblings catches your eye. And go give the authors some love, theyâre doing godâs work here <3

Here are the lyrics to my singable English translation of âEhrlichkeit und Vertrauenâ from Rebecca. At the moment I donât have a proper title for it (âHonesty and Compassionâ doesnât really have a nice ring to it) but anyways:
My opinion isnât worth much
But I speak it nonetheless
What creates a loving marriage?
I think I could certainly guess
For if all one has is beauty
Nothing more and nothing less
There is something else thatâs lacking
Something more I believe you possess
Honesty and compassion
And a love without conditions
With the strength to take whatâs given
And overcome any storm
You are the one my friend was chosen for
Deep down inside youâre worth much more
Than all the grace and all the beauty
In the world
To be loved for a lifetime
Finding hope among the shadows
To be free from every burden
Forging ahead unafraid
She is the one my friend was chosen for
I clearly see sheâs worth much more
Than all the grace and all the beauty
In the world
So much more
#someone suggest a song title bitte#frank crawley appreciation hours#this song is criminally underrated#why did it take me so long to write this#if kunze sees this: hi you can have your lyrics back#kunze approved english demo#i feel like this is implying frank has a crush on ich#but then he also says she was âchosen forâ maxim#so either itâs unrequited or heâs just a good bestie#rebecca das musical#rebecca the musical

Hey guys welcome to my massive rant about q!Fit and how cc!Fit is incredibly talented and underrated. Since y'all kinda blew up my twitter post LOL.
There are SO many things I could touch on so it's probably gonna be scattered around a lot.
1) Fit had a great character set up from the beginning. From the very start many people knew Fits reputation as a 2b2t veteran, a place with a toxic environment and brutal people. He was no exception, he was closed off to relationships and was very cautious/closed off to many things. Not only that but his past made people distrust him in the beginning. I loved the suspense it brought with his character and the question of why he WAS actually here. Since the whole "vacation" thing was never very convincing. My favourite part was a lot of this was IMPLIED! He built on the character he portrayed in his YT videos and it worked so well, adding small comments about his character here and there (like when he said q!Fits hearing was bad BC of all the explosions he's experienced).
2) His RP skills were another level, not only was he in character almost the WHOLE time when he was live (even donos) when he first did lore he would tease elements of it by writing cryptic messages when others were live. SUCH a good idea when you have a smaller audience and want to create suspense. Not only that, he would have set dates and times for BIG lore stuff, this honestly made it so much easier to keep track of and engage in, not only alone but with friends too! His actual lore was very different from many others, it was cinematic and well planned, yet it still left room for sudden changes. The final result was a cohesive story line that the audience could interpret. I just loved how I could understand what was happening but also have questions/cliffhangers!
3) the fucking MUSIC. Throughout his lore and start of his streams I adored his choice of music, "Stranger in Paradise" being a personal favourite that was not only reoccurring in more than one language but fit SO WELL. I also think it was very clever how a lot of his music choices for his character didn't make sense until you understand the full story e.g. "Can't say goodbye to yesterday". All of this really added a new perspective on his character, almost through cc!Fits own eyes. Along with his music choice just being absolute bops OFC.
4) THE SYMBOLISM. My absolute favourite lore moment of his was at the end of the "Attachments" lore stream. Where the sun is setting over the mountain, slowly covering a patch of roses in darkness. ALL WHILE an instrumental Italian version of "Stanger in paradise" played. Roses of course being a symbol of not only his and Pac's relationship but love in general. His love for Ramon and his friends. The love he had to grow, just like a rose. While the darkness symbolizes his past catching up to him, more specifically his deadline. His time with his family and friends ending, his loves disappearing. Chefs kiss because it makes me cry everytime fr.
5) q!Fit's sexuality (gay). There is something so poetic about a gay guy from an extremely homophobic wasteland learning to come to terms with his own sexuality and love in general. Him slowly building a loving relationship with Ramon, Growing feelings for Pac, Nervously coming out to his son and then finally indulging in the first relationship and FAMILY he had ever had. Finally learning to love and to be loved in return. Even if he is scared about his mission, or taking things too fast. Just learning to live a normal life.
6) Fitmc is criminally underrated and overlooked. I still remember when Fit got his first proper piece of fanart in the museum. It was like... JULY? or something. And I think that says enough. People had no idea he was even doing lore at some points. Averaging at about 1-2k viewers in the beginning, until hideduo came into the mix. A lot but still compared to others very low. I think because his viewers consisted of his YT audience it didn't translate well. But I'm so glad he was able to build a loving community on twitch <3
Anyways it's 3am for me, I probably have more to talk about but this is basically what I meant when I posted that tweet. Feel free to reblog and add your own favourite observations or moments. I wanna hear them! â€ïž

send my love | l.jh



featuring: music producer!jihoon x musician!reader, secret relationship
word count: 936 words
summary â jihoon accidentally exposes your relationship with a slip of his tongue⊠in front of an entire school of students.
authorâs note: had sm fun writing this and doing the bonus part <3 inspired by the songwriter that came to my school today!
Jihoon stands backstage, listening to the first few seconds of your song, âbreaking down wallsâ, play. When it stops playing, the chorus of voices doesnât stop, and heâs shocked to hear the students singing the lyrics to the song the two of you co-wrote together, their voices loud and clear in the multi-purpose hall.
Heâd thought it would stop, but he swears only the first 3 seconds of the song were played, yet they sing all the way to the chorus before stopping.
Still in a daze, he barely notices when heâs signalled to go onstage, but he pulls himself together and does exactly that. Heâs prepared a presentation for the students, to let them know a little bit more about songwriting and how he came to write songs, and a few tips he has for anyone who might be looking to become a songwriter.
He was invited to speak because your song was a top hit, and the lyrics were about breaking down the barriers of mental illnesses with the help of medication, proper treatment, good relationships and healthy coping strategies.
Mental health is something that heâs struggled with for a while. Every time he feels low, and his mental health is waning, he writes a song about it.
He writes about other things, but his favourites are probably the songs that he writes coming out of a slump caused by executive dysfunction, when he manages to get his life back on track again.
The school heâs visiting is holding activities for mental health week, and this presentation heâs giving is among the last few before they wrap up the week.
Of course, Jihoon mentions you in his presentation, because youâre the singer of âbreaking down wallsâ, a song that the two of you wrote over a series of months, rarely exiting the studio except occasionally to get food. He probably calls you stunning a couple of timesâhe canât remember, but heâs always found you the better looking between both of you anyway. Youâre also more popular, so he apologises that you canât be there because youâre busy preparing for your concert the day after.
He was nervous getting onstage to speak to such a large audience, and he canât say heâs ever been gifted at public speaking, but he thinks he does an okay job. The crowd is relatively quiet, and he hopes the soft buzz is just the students excitedly talking about the content of his presentation.
When heâs finished delivering his points, one of the music teachers that he briefly met backstage comes onstage. Two students bring out two chairs for the two of them to sit, and the Q&A segment starts.
Jihoon feels that this is the part he was most nervous for. Before getting onstage, he wondered what he would say when asked about this song. Itâs very close to his heart, and while heâs co-written a different song before, with a different friend, about mental health too, it wasnât really the same. Itâs hard to explain, but the you and his other friend have different styles, and he thinks âbreaking down wallsâ holds a special place in his heart. Itâs truly an irreplaceable song.
Because of how important âbreaking down wallsâ is to him, Jihoon finds it difficult to articulate his emotions without feeling extremely overwhelmed, and heâs afraid tears may start flowing if he thinks too much about it.
However, his fears are eased when the teacher begins speaking. The teacher asks Jihoon simple questions like whatâs his favourite song heâs written, and one of your songs that he finds criminally underrated.
These are easy to answer; he barely hesitates before launching into a full-blown explanation for his two choices, and heâs bolstered by the cheers of agreement from the students.
Jihoon gets really into it when asked about âbreaking down wallsâ, managing to word his feelings without getting too emotional. After all that worrying, heâs impressed with himself when he manages to phrase it as âwriting lyrics from the bottom of his heart, with all of his soulâ, expressing his gratitude for all the support the two of you have received for this song.
As the teacher brings the Q&A segment to a close, the students burst into a round of applause. Jihoon thinks you might want to see how much admiration they have for you, so, taking out his phone, he says, âIâll send Y/n my loveâI mean, your love.â
He doesnât blush, but his palms grow sweaty. He subtly wipes them on his lap before hitting the ârecordâ button on his phone.
âHey, Y/n. I hope youâre having a good time preparing for the concert. There are some people whoâd like to say hi to you.â He smiles, thinking about how youâll look receiving his message in the middle of rehearsals, hoping he can give you a boost in energy.
He turns the camera around to show the students, whoâto their creditâcheer so loudly his eardrums feel like theyâre going to burst. When he turns it back to himself, Jihoon says, âThatâs all I have to say. Enjoy the rehearsals!â
He stops recording, and turns to the students. âIâll send it to them and let you know. Thank you so much for having me.â
Heâs escorted away from the venue with a gift from the school, but all he can think of is the way he slipped up onstage. He still sends the video, but he receives a notification on X first.
Clicking it open, he finds something that makes his face turn pink. Heâs glad he slipped up, after all.
â
Bonus (the tweet in question):

let's talk about that one scene in oops
(and fizzarolli in general bc me and my autism r obsessed with this scene and haven't seen someone break it down. also ft. blitz lmao)
just a general scene and vague character breakdown/analysis!
i first of all want to admire the perfect representation of best friends to enemies with blitz & fizz because ugh.
And like Blitz tells everyone this but the way it's so malicious here. Just the perfect simple dig and Fizz's little shit eating grin because it delivered how he knew it would sdfkjsdkf. Shoves Blitz to the side because really that's all he cares to say. Fuck you and what you did to me, bye bye <3 Fizz is so for talking shit and dipping (House of Asmodeus) I love how messy it is but also shows how he really doesn't hold malice for Blitz otherwise. Obviously we see this front and center later in the episode once they start reconnecting, but I like the subtlety and how he's so willing to snap at Blitz despite his usual anxiety with confrontation.
Blitz also knowing exactly what to say to really piss Fizz off once things escalate <3
(Fizz literally so smug and content with himself lmfao)
(smirk wiped off bc hey that's the thing i'm sensitive about!!)
But Fizz keeps his composure. And if you'll let me be alarmingly gay for a second, I love how his version of keeping his cool as a messy gay is managing to basically recreate this drag race confrontation in what is probably my favorite set of Fizzie lines.
youtube
eat him up babes. also it's so important that that shitty coffee and fizz were on this side of the street for framing i'll talk about it more in a sec jfskjdfksf.
and now my personal favorite exchange of this entire scene that is criminally underrated imo:
love his face after this line. I SUPPORT DISABLED PEOPLES WRONGS sfjdlkfsdd. literally so fucking nasty with his clown wit but also so justifiable because yeah blitz did just pull this nightmare and dip in fizz's pov. i cannot wait for that to get touched on more likeeee why were they kept apart ugh.
and finally!!
this cut to blitz,, specifically the scarred side of his face is sooo good.
the face of a man who just achieved critical vicious mockery vs. the face of a man that knows he can only win this interaction one way now
Blitz does deserve a little violence maybe <3 Fizz underestimated his ass jjdkfsdlk.
Idk I just love how indicative this whole interaction is for their characters but especially Fizz, it's a perfect build-up for him. Fizz has major imposter syndrome with dual layers because of general haters but especially because of Mammon and Asmodeus. Not on any fault of Ozzie's,, we just see Fizz obviously thinks he isn't fully deserving of their relationship/his situation and the healthy dynamics of it and so do most major news outlets apparently askjfsk.
(full fizzy meme post & also i like how this is a special also like damn do u think they were also apart of the crossword??)
It'll be really interesting to see how his character develops in future episodes because I feel like a lot of what I've rambled about here has come to a resolution after 2 Minutes Notice in the musical special lmao. I really like how here when he goes to compose himself, this is how he does it.
Makes me wonder how many times him and Ozzie have had the self-worth and imposter syndrome conversation before it finally stuck in the Mammon Musical Special. I just love their relationship and how they compliment one another,, and how it projects into Fizz's other relationships because they're healthy for one another. Love my OTP love Blitz & especially love Fizzie. Obviously.
#long post#words words words#character analysis#character essay#helluva boss#fizzarolli#fizzarolli helluva boss#blitzĂž#helluva boss blitzo#fizzmodeus#fizzarozzie#bless any1 that reads this whole thing love u#helluvaboss#qb#qb writes

3 Criminally Underrated Musicals (And why you should listen to them)
1) The Mad Ones
[Image Description: Kerrigan and Lowdermilk's The Mad Ones. It shows an empty road disappearing into the distance under a starry sky. Full ID in alt text. End ID.]
You know that feeling of driving fast down an empty road with the windows down, the wind whipping through your hair? You know that feeling of being able to do anything you want, like the world is right at your fingertips, just waiting for you? You know that feeling of sitting in the middle of the woods with a good friend and thinking about how incredible it is that you live on the same planet at the same time?
Well, this is that feeling.
The Mad Ones is about Sam, who just graduated high school, and her friend Kelly, who died in a car accident before she could graduate. It's about Sam's journey in remembering Kelly and learning to live in the moment without her. It's also about freedom, and expectations, and living life to its fullest.
Also it has the phrase "kidnapped by aliens with enormous genitalia". What's not to love?
Seriously, this is one of my all time favourites and it has a very special place in my heart. I love to listen to it on those rare days when everything seems to be falling into place and it feels like life is actually going somewhere.
From a writing perspective, this is just an incredible masterpiece. The lyrics just stir something in my soul and the friendship between Kelly and Sam is just <33333 (Heart). It deserves so much more love than it gets.
2) The Lightning Thief
[Image Description: The cover of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. It shows a blue brick wall with a yellow glowing lightning bolt symbol against it. Full ID in alt text. End ID.]
Okay, so the books are iconic and the movies sucked and the TV show is looking good but everyone's been sleeping on the musical for far too long. I had my doubts at the beginning too, I'll admit it, but honestly this slaps.
Although it isn't an exact one-to-one with the books, the vibes are spot on which is the most important thing anyways.
Percy is a sarcastic little shit, Annabeth is a total smartass, and Grover is... well, the impossible-to-explain awesomeness that is Grover Underwood. As funny as it is, though, there are some moments that just hit you right in the feels. The Tree on the Hill, anyone? My Grand Plan?
Also the Luke reveal gives me literal chills every time. It's so SO well done, much better than any other depiction in my humble opinion.
The whole thing is just an excellent balance of feels and humour and has some truly iconic lines. Case in point:
Percy: "Grover, you're a good friend." Grover: "Awwww. Dude, I'm your only friend."
Mr. D: "Oh, you're alive. I suppose that's good news for you but it means a lot more paperwork for me, so don't expect me to be happy to see you. Of course, being alive is temporary..."
Luke: "The Hermes cabin takes anyone who hasn't been claimed. You know what that means... we're literally the reject cabin. Welcome to the dysfunctional family!"
[Literally just the entirety of Luke's part in Their Sign]
Grover: "You hurt his feelings. Tell the squirrel you're sorry." Percy: "I am not saying sorry to a squirrel." Annabeth: "He's very sorry. Tell the squirrel you're sorry, Percy."
Alright, anyways! This is the Percy Jackson website, right? It's great, just listen to it.
Moving on!
3) 35MM: A Musical Exhibition
[Image Description: The cover of 35MM: A Musical Exhibition. It's a red background with a black, ink-like camera design from above. Full ID in alt text. End ID.]
God, how do I even begin to explain 35MM?
There's so much going on here in the best way possible. It's not a traditional musical, at least not in the way people immediately think of musicals.
The idea behind 35MM is that there's multiple separate songs, each based on a photograph. That said, there are some theories about the level of connection between the songs and if they're even connected at all. Either way, it's absolutely incredible.
The songs all have different themes including babysitting a murder doll, a homicidal prom queen, a vampire love story, the young love car crash tragedy that lives in my heart forever, and many more! If you're a fan of the strange, unusual, and vaguely unsettling, this is the musical for you.
Although the fandom is small, it's incredibly dedicated and there are some truly wonderful animatics on YouTube to check out as well as some theory threads on Tumblr, Reddit, and basically anywhere else if you look hard enough.
I made the mistake of accidentally introducing my English professor to this musical so now you all can be introduced too!
And now some honourable mentions:
Islander
Islander is an acapella musical done entirely by two women. It tells the story of an island nation that was split in half long ago, with two girls (Each from one of the halves) meeting for the first time. It has a super cool Scottish folk song-style of music to it and just an incredible plot.
Jekyll & Hyde
Jekyll & Hyde is the musical adaptation of the famous gothic story. It's intense and dramatic in all the best ways and I Need to Know always sends shivers through me. The voices are incredible and it's just AHHH!! Wonderful! Also Confrontation is a work of art and nobody can tell me otherwise.
36 Questions
36 Questions is kind of unique in that it's a podcast musical, meaning that there's no stage performance. In the most basic terms, it's about two people trying to fix their marriage with the whole '36 questions to help strangers fall in love' type thing. Part of one of the songs, For the Record, was a popular song on TikTok a few years back so it may be somewhat familiar to folks. Either way, worth a listen!

Ayo saying that Ao'nung is criminally underrated
So imagine he been like acting up right? Fights, tempers been blowing, and his 'punishment' is to do work with you/reader who is the clans designated calming woman đ€Ł ?? Anyways, so like you been working with him for a week or so, he's made zero progress. You can't deny that he is indeed scrumptious so you offer another way for him to relax, to stress relieve him. Basically you become an outlet for him yknow yknow đ€Ł
- đ
I WANT TO KISS YOU RIGHT ON THE FUCKING MOUTH THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING AONUNG I LOVE THIS MERMAN SO SO MUCH.
Word Count: 2k
Warnings: stupid amounts of smut. Oral(male and female receiving) Cock warming. Aoânung being obsessed with the reader and her magical healing pussy. You know, norm lol
Smut beneath the cut!
You fustrate Aoânung.
Which is funny, because you do the complete opposite to the rest of the clan.
Youâre highly spiritual, closer to Ewya then anyone sheâs ever met claims his mother. Youâre centered in who you are, mature beyond your young years.
Youâre not the ocean, with its ever changing tides, but the beach. The sand, the earth.
You work closely with the Tsakarem, but your approach to medicine is different.
âItâs in the mindâ you whisper, voice airy and light âyour body can never be well if your mind isnâtâ
Itâs why heâs been sent to you.
His father had had it with his temper and the fist fights that resulted from it. Tonowari would not tolerate another minute of it.
Aoânung could handle grunt work; shucking shells. Cleaning out the bed pots for compost. He was good with his hands, if he just kept them moving heâd be fine.
What he canât handle is being stuck with you, for hours on end, doing nothing.
Your Mauri is on the smaller side, but cozy. It reflects you perfectly. Healing herbs grow from clay pots. Sun catches and wind chimes sway in the breeze from the open window.
Heavy fragranced incense plumes clog his nose.
He knows everyone else loves it in here, children and elders alike flock for your company and attention.
But he hates it. Itâs stuffy and boring.
He thinks he puts on a pretty good mask though. Doesnât outrightly tell you that heâs pretty sure youâre a fucking fraud and all of this is bullshit.
He sits with you on the woven mats infront of your alter. Legs crossed, hands resting on his knees as you lead him through guided meditation.
âClose your eyesâ youâd instructed and heâd followed âEmpty your thoughts let the Great Mother flow inâ
You hum, the vibrations musical and pleasant sounding and all in all it shouldnât be that horrible of an experience.
Except for the fact that he feels no calmer then yesterday. Or the week before. Or the month before that.
His face is all scrunched up, his hands fists on his thighs instead or resting palms. Heâs so obviously wound tighr.
âAoânung?â
You call for him, and he peeks one eye open.
âThis isnât really helping you, is it?â You donât sound upset or hurt. Just observant. Your big blue eyes patient and kind.
âUm-â he starts fully intending to lie to you. But those eyesâŠânot really, noâ
Your mouth quirks and your ears wiggle. Like your taking his words and focusing hard on them.
You stand then, all graceful limbs, and place a thin finger on your chin âwhen do you feel most relaxed?â
Thatâs not an easy question to ask. Itâs too big- he canât really compute it. Mostly because he canât remember the last time he was truly relaxed-
He shakes his head. Shrugs his shoulders âCome on, Y/N. Letâs just get this done and appease my fatherâ
âI donât spend my afternoons with you to appease your fatherâ you sigh, even then he canât sense an ounce of frustration on you. Perma composed âI spend this time with you trying to help you, I want you to find peaceâ
He has to fight a scoff. Wants to roll his eyes. Peace, yeah okay.
âThink very hard- when was the last time you felt the weight of the world off your shoulders? The last time that you relaxed your jaw? Even if itâs silly, tell meâ you push on, gently.
Huh.
The last time he unclenched his jaw?
He can feel the tips of his ears go pink as the memory resurfaces. A few nights ago he got a moment to himself, snuck down onto the empty beach. Shoved his hand in his tweng and fisted his leaking cock-
âI donât know if itâs appropriateâŠâ
You giggle, it twinkles like your wind chimes, as you approach him. Behind his broad back. Your small hands rest on his big shoulders. âWhen has that ever stopped you?â
Youâre sun warm and smell of water flowers. Your presence steady and comforting behind him. It prompts him to talk.
âI made myself come about a week ago, it felt good. I felt relaxedâ he admits and you hum again.
Your hands still on him.
âI see. You take a more physical approach to mental wellness, there is no shame in thatâ you start, as your dainty fingers begin to dig into the meat of his shoulders. Working at the tight knots with finessed expertise âDo you have a lover?â
He had many. âYou could say thatâ
âNo, no. I donât mean a warm body to fuck for the night. Do you have a lover, that you can trust to take care of your needs?â
Again, his mind is blank. Why do you ask him these questions? And better yet- why canât he answer them?
You donât force him to speak. Instead you keep massaging him, as you start up that sweet little hum again. It feels so good that Aoânung stars to lean back into you, biting down on his lower lip hard to stop the sounds that are building in his chest
âDo you know what brings me peace of mind?â You inquire, offhandedly, as your fingers creep into his hair.
You release the tight bun on the back of his head, and his dark hair falls in waterfall like curls around his head. The tension of keeping it so tightly back released. It feels so nice-
âHmm?â Hes dazed. Melting into a puddle or your making.
âTrustâ you say simply.
Thatâs so stupid. He tells you so. He regrets it though, thinking youâll stop your ministrations.
You donât of course, you keep going. Unfazed.
âI trust the people around me, our clan. Our village. We are good strong people, we take care of each other. I trust the ocean, the give and take of the life cycle. I trust our mother Eywa- I feel safe and held in her embraceâ your words are hypnotic, spoken low and true âand I trust myself, to honor my needs. When was the last time you truly honored yours, Aoânung?â
There only you and him in the empty room. Your humming and the smell of fragrant burning herbs surround him.
Trust, you say.
He trusts you. Itâs a stark revelation. He almost canât believe it.
âIâŠâ he clears his throat, trying to continue âIâm supposed to take care of others. Not the other way around. I am future Oloâeyktan. I do not have time for such trivial mattersâ
Again. Those little sighs.
When you press your plush lips against his cheek he almost shoots up off the floor. His eyes go wide and he lurches a bit.
âI see now that Iâve been taking the wrong approachâ you tell him, apologetically as you get up. Coming to stand in front of him once more.
You hold his gaze, never breaking eye contact as you begin to undress.
Your motions are fluid, itâs almost a dance, as you slide your tweng down your shapely legs. As you unclip the seashell pin that holds together your gossamer top.
You stand in front of him completely nude. He traces your womanly figure with his eyes. Your full breasts, the smooth lines of your flat stomach, the curve of your hips.
He zeros in on the mound of your pussy. He can feel his mouth water and a wave of desire surges through him as he reaches for you.
âMawayâ you coo as you step into his arms. Sinking down into his waiting lap âcalm, Aoânungâ
As he tastes mouthfuls of your skin he thinks that he might have found the antidote to his raging temper.
âââââââââââ
He tests this theory, often.
When he tangles his fishing net beyond repair, and then rips it right down the middle right as heâd almost had it loose-
He fucks you from behind on the moonlit beach. His hand clamped over your mouth as he loses himself in your heat.
When him and Tsireya get into a heated argument about how to handle an internal affair within the village- and she throws the fact that sheâs older then him and will be Tsahik first-
He makes you bounce on his cock until you can barley move, your knees giving out and his hips snapping up to keep moving inside of you.
When a bad storm destroys docs and he has to spend days repairing it-
He fucks your throat, brutally. Watching as you sputter on his cock. Your eyes, always so sage and peaceful, water horribly. Tears roll down your pretty cheeks. When he comes, he makes sure to pull you off so that he can watch the fat milky globs soil you even further
It works. Your methods. You are a skilled healer after all, you have found a way to calm the chiefs son.
Everyone is surprised, in awe.
Tonowari is over joyed and Ronal is grateful. You try to take it all in stride. This is what you do. You help people find their inner peace.
But itâs not the same as everyone else. Aoânung is so different, he means so much more to you.
While you had helped him find his own balance- he had unbalanced you. Youâre needy, jittery. You crave his touch, his kisses, his thick cock.
His love. You crave that most of all.
As much as you meditate and talk to Eywa, you canât seem to recenter. Youâre not whole until youâre in his arms.
Most nights, Aoânung ends up in your hut. Your bedding smells like him, heâs very familiar with their softness.
He has you spread out, exactly like he loves.
He his face inbetween your thighs as he eats your wet cunt. Itâs like a cradle. Heâs serene as he feasts on you. Eyes closed, Aonung prays to the Great Mother as you stroke his hair lovingly.
You have your alter- he has his. You sweet cunt makes him feel closer to the spirit of Pandora then any prayer circle ever did.
âLove itâ he mutters, his tongue still lapping at your swollen clit.
You canât form words. They were all tongue fucked out of you two orgasms ago. You can only squeal and nod.
âLove this pussy. Need it. Alwaysâ he continues, his voice muffled by your thighs. He sounds drunk. So relaxed âNeed you alwaysâ
Youâre too gone to fully comprehend it.
There was never any fighting it to begin with. The Oloâeyktan had tasked you with the taming of his wild son. Anything to quell that ever burning fire in Aoânung.
Who knew that all it would take is you spreading your legs?
UM I LOVE YOU AONUNG. Seriously. He so fun and different to write for and everyone needs to start writing him and stop neglecting my lil fish baby. @cinetrix I thought about you while I wrote this because I know how much you love our best Metkayina boy!
But the real question is; how am I supposed to not make this a series? LOL YOU GUYS KINK REQIESTS ARE TOO GOOD.

Rec List: Favorite Fics of the Year!
hey hey hey! here are my favorite fics that I read this year. This is not an all-encompassing list, and I know I am missing some fics I read and loved. I always appreciate more fics recs. That said, here are some things that really stuck with me this year!
before the black gate by TheChasm ( @thelordofgifs)
LĂŽminzil would mark her, if she could: leave the indentations of her fingers on AbraphĂȘlâs hips and thighs and kiss-bruises on her neck, carve her name into AbraphĂȘlâs flawless skin so that all who set eyes upon her might know to whom she belongs.
LĂŽminzil does not much like her job as one of Tar-MĂriel's attendants, but there are consolations. Her secret work spying on the Queen for Ar-PharazĂŽn, for one: and AbraphĂȘl, too.
This list in in particular order, but I am putting this one first because I believe it is CRIMINALLY underrated. The odds are stacked against it as a femslash, original character, Numenor centric fic but listen it is SO good. The tragedy and inevitability is SO peak Silmarillion to me. The character work is delicate and intense at once. It is both soft and violent at the same time. It makes me feral. It makes me cry. Please read it.
Also, because I feel weird recc'ing ghosti without including any M&M fics (which are all excellent!) - her little one shot, crowns and other trinkets, somehow stuck with me a lot. It's quiet and understated and just catches something about the characters to me.
A Common Chord by sallysavestheday ( @sallysavestheday)
I loved him first, Maglor liked to tell himself. Fingon and Maglor and Maedhros, loving.
Just so obsessed with this dynamic. Sally's language is as always so creative and vivid and good to read; the characters in this are so vivid and breathing. This fic is warm and cold at once. Please read it.
Silence Stretched as a Shadow Between the Trees by Melesta ( @melestasflight)
This is what Maedhros wanted all along, this is why he selfishly stole Fingon from his duties and brought him here at the edges of Beleriand. Because here, there are no houses or banners, no wars to fight, no rules of propriety. They are not the eldest sons of great fathers, nor lords of mighty kingdoms. To the forest and its cycle, they are no more worthy than the mayflies that emerge and die within a single turning of the Sun.
A late entry, published a few days ago; but I've already read it twice, so I think it has to count. I'm always a sucker for art writing and location writing, and this has both in droves. Just really beautiful writing and great character work; this is kind of cheating as a compliment to Melesta, but what a wonderful wonderful Fingon. Aurgh. Love the osanwë work in this as well.
I was also going to include Red by the same author, but I think I actually read it last year. Go read it anyways.
Oh everybody waits so long by polutropos ( @polutrope)
In the summer of 2017, Fingon is called to the scene of hit-and-run while on duty. He's shocked to discover the victim is Maedhros, his ex-boyfriend he hasn't spoken to in two years. Over the next six months, they stumble and fumble their way back to each other.
I am jealous of this fic's ability to render the Silmarillion believably in a totally different world. It takes a lot of writing chops and a lot of brain juice to do an AU this different, and boy do you pull it off. This is emotional, intense, and quite often funny. I think about it a lot.
The ficlet collection in this universe is also so so fun!
On the same note - Hearken Still Unsated by the same author.
âFor how many years have we two listened for the echoes of the Music of Creation in the oceans and lakes and rivers? And yet we will never be sated. Like the water in which they say it lives, the Song does not rest but ever moves and changes. It may pool in a great lake for an age and then pour down into the Sea in another. It fills whatever spaces it can and flows by whatever paths most easily open before it.â
When the Noldor return to Middle-earth to make war on Morgoth, only rumours reach Menegroth of their reasons for coming, but Doriath's minstrel experiences their loss and longing through his connection to Music and the gift of his Queen. Years later, he is sent to the Feast of Reuniting and meets the Elf whose grief he felt. A story about the Eldar returning home, their connection to the land and to each other, and their relationship to Music and fate, love and free will.Â
Not a fic from 2024, but I did read it in 2024. One of the most lovingly-crafted, carefully made fics I've read. No word is out of place. Foundational to the ship. Check it out.
arrangement of flute and harp by jouissant ( @jouissants)
âWhat sort of man leaves his lover abed with his brother? Fingon, hast thou ever heard of such a thing?â
Incredibly tasty character dynamics in a lot of ways. The writing is delicious and vivid and extremely witty at the same time. I love the character voices in this most of all - so sharp and well-defined, fitting for the ebb and flow of the fic. The way the characters are intertwined and tangled up together is so striking. And the smut was really hot, which goes without saying for the author.
Mockingbird by littlewhitemouse @littlewhitemouseagain
One of his captains had asked him, âMaglor, do you not sleep beside with your brother when visiting him?â and Maglor had replied, âI do, as it makes it easier for me to sleep,â and his captain had said, âWhich is good, because you do not usually sleep,â and Maglor had said, âI do not.â But his captain had then asked, âbut doesnât Prince Fingon also bed with him, on account of their completely secret and frankly astounding incestuous affair that no one knows about (and I certainly donât myself)?â and Maglor had replied, âYes, and that makes it harder to sleep.â On account of that being a full and complete explanation, Maglorâs captain had said, âAh,â and that was the end of that conversation.
This caught me from the absolutely-hilarious description and kept me for each word. You can probably tell this is a very funny fic, but it is also an extremely thoughtful and earnest fic, an incredible Maglor character exploration, and a gorgeous rendering of the world and customs and clothing and jewelry and AHHH. Love this fic. Frequent re-read.
In Memory to Dwell by EilinelsGhost ( @eilinelsghost)
"I was healed, they told me. As ready as a soul could be." Bitterness laced through Finrod's words and he drew the robe close about him once more. "In what way is this readiness? Is there no longer healing in NĂĄmoâs halls?"
Immediately after his reembodiment, Finrod shuts himself within his chambers and allows none but his mother to come near. When EĂ€rwen is called away, Finarfin must navigate his grief at this new separation and both father and son wrangle together with the toll the First Age has left upon them.
Really thoughtful and carefully crafted examination of elven culture, disability, reembodiment. The author is extremely precise with her language and her characterization; the little details in the text really make this fic very striking and real. I loved how this balanced the family dynamic (and Finarfin's longing for his son as a child again) against the adult separation. Bittersweet in the best way.
And a lot of philosophy, which is suitable for Finrod, ha.
Finrod/Sauron One Thousand Nights Esque AU by am_fae @meadowlarkx
In which Finrod does not die at Tol-in-Gaurhoth, but begins an extended game of wills as Sauron's captive. Mairon is intrigued by the mysterious Elf singer. That's all there is to it.
Cheating by posting the whole series but GAUGH this is just so good. I was chomping at the bit to learn how Lark was going to wrap this one up and it SO delivered. This is tender, brutal, and so crisp. It left me wanting so many contradictory things for the characters (escape. love him. escape. stay) and dug at the core of goodness and corruption in such an interesting way. As always I am blown away by Lark's dialogue and POV writing. Just really great stuff.
And that is all, for now! I unfortunately read less fic than I wanted to this year, so I know I missed out on some gems. I'm thinking of putting together a quick list of some favorite short fics and drabbles, if I can find them (I have lost more than I thought) - keep an eye out for that! And always feel free to add on to this post with your own recs. :)

Speaking of Louis' upcoming album and his possible marketing strategyâdoes this guy even have a proper team? I wouldnât call myself a fan, but Iâve been listening to his music for a while. A few days ago, I got curious about why his visibility on platforms was barely there, so I searched up which label he was signed to. I knew he cut ties with Syco years ago, but it seems like he never signed with another label after that and has been making music independently. What Iâm wondering is, who is he working with professionally right now? I remember reading one of his fans' (probably joking) tweet about his team being his childhood friends, but do these guys actually have enough experience in networking and industry stuff? Or is he just prioritizing his comfort over career growth? I wouldn't ask nor expect him to become a force in the charts overnight but I don't think I'm asking for too much by wanting him to reach different audiences as well. He makes good music (and I have a feeling that LT3 will be his be his best one since he has much clearer vision in his mind) and already has an insanely dedicated fandom supporting him, but still, he's criminally underrated and it makes me question many things tbh. đ
Heâs not signed to a label, but heâs been working with BMG for a few yearsâI donât know everything they do for him, but theyâre definitely involved with distribution. As far as Iâm aware, heâs got a team in place, but I donât know how happy he is with them. Iâve seen a lot of fans hate them (but fans generally are like that, so itâs hard to judge). The one thing I find bizarre is that last I looked, he was still working with Simon Jones for PR (yes, the Simon Jones whoâs besties with Dan Wootton and who spread all sorts of crap through him to be posted in the Sun).

what your favorite the inheritance games character says about you!
from my humble little brain (pls donât get offended this is a joke)
~ avery - youâre sticking with the classic. a good choice, although a bit boring. you definitely relate to her *cough* daddy issues *cough* and you dream of becoming rich. tig gave you very high standards for men and youâre questioning if they will ever be met.
~ jameson - youâre either madly in love with him or you think heâs cool and relate to his trauma. youâre definitely fun, perhaps irresponsible. youâre extremely loyal and absolutely hilarious pls marry me.
~ grayson - WE GET IT. YOU LIKE HIM. đ.
~ xander - you have excellent taste, my friend. you definitely relate to him *cough* daddy issues pt 2 *cough* and struggle with being good enough. however, your trauma has made you funny so thatâs a plus!
~ nash - to be so fr, idk if yall exist. he is a criminally underrated character. either you think youâre quirky by picking the least popular brother or you think heâs underrated (like me). nash got you into western style and now you say âhowdyâ unironically.
~ libby - you are an absolute legend. ik Iâve said this but you definitely relate to her trauma with parent issues and abusive relationships. youâre also the sweetest human being ever and ilysm letâs be friends and bake pastries together and have picnics in the woods yk
~ max - god tier sense of humor. youâve also probably never cursed a day in your life and youâre glad you finally found a character that captured your escense. you either desperately want a xander in your life or you want to be the cool rich sassy single aunt/uncle. either way, ily.
~ emily - you donât exist
~ eve - you REALLY donât exist
~ rebecca - hello lgbtq+ community. we get it, youâre angry and angsty and you have great music taste, okay? if youâre queer, you def had internalized homophobia as a child and if youâre not queer, then you just really relate to a character with anxiety.
~ thea - youâre so cool. a bit judgy at times, but still cool!
~ alisa - I support all womenâs rights and wrongs and I will support you on your plots for revenge or whenever youâre feeling stressed pooks <3
~ oren - icon. thatâs you. thatâs all, byeeee!
#the inheritance games#jennifer lynn barnes#avery grambs#booktok#jameson hawthorne#xander hawthorne#headcanon#about you#averyjameson#grayson hawthorne

Music recs list for my fellow Vide Noir-heads
(And everyone else too)
I've often seen, and even echoed the sentiment, that Lord Huron's album Vide Noir is completely unique. Nobody else is putting out big concept indie rock albums about existential dread in an uncaring and horrifying cosmos when you're just trying to look for the girlfriend who ghosted you and you wind up deep in a Los Angeles neo-noir involving eldritch space drugs and hallucinations from across time and space, okay? That's fair.
BUT.
While none of the below are the same, I do think they're likely to scratch some of that itch while you wait for more. Please check them out! You might find something you like. All of the below are bands that release concept albums meant to be listened to from start to finish, so I'll be recommending whole albums, not singles. Also these are youtube links because that's what I use but you can for sure find all of these everywhere you get music.
Typhoon
Criminally underrated for way too long. Huge sweeping orchestral indie rock sounds that would be right at home if a movie was made of one of their albums (what a dream that would be). Most of their music is inspired by a combination of the works of David Lynch and the frontman/writer's personal battles with Lyme disease and his subsequent near death. Listen to EVERYTHING they have put out ever, but especially:
Offerings (2018): According to the band, "It's a record from the perspective of a mind losing its memory at precisely the same time the world is willfully forgetting its history. The urgent question becomes: without causality, without structures of meaning, without essential features of rational thought, is there anything that can save us from violence/oblivion?
With no past and no future, there is only suffocating, annihilating, present, looping on and on ad infinitum (to me, one plausible definition of hell) and the best you can hope for is that somewhere in the void there exists some small, irreducible certaintyâa fragment, a kernel, somethingâthat you may have the good fortune to stumble upon before it's all over.
You know, a boy/girl-meets-girl/boy-everyone-dies-in-botched-attempt-at-neo-pagan-sacrificial-ritual-on-global-scale kind of thing."
White Lighter (2013): More directly inspired by Morton's survival of Lyme disease and organ failure, about finding hope when things feel utterly hopeless, and his gratitude toward his father for saving his life via kidney donation. (There is a 10th anniversary version of this album that includes some unrelated singles that were never released on albums, fyi - I find they interrupt the flow of the original intended release).
Arcade Fire
Oscillating between dance pop and indie orchestral folk-rock-baroque pop, these guys are pretty well known (The Suburbs won the Grammy for best album of 2010, after all). But! If you haven't heard them, or if you forgot they existed, this is a really really excellent time to listen to their work.
The Suburbs (2010): If you're going to start anywhere with this band, start here. Stay here a while. Inspired by some of the band members' upbringings in suburbian Texas, the album is an apocalyptic journey through end-stage capitalism and it's fucking jawdropping.
mewithoutYou
Post-hardcore/art rock band that incorporates spirituality and religion-as-myth and history from viewpoints around the world in order to write incredibly moving music about the human condition.
Ten Stories (2012): Inspired by multiple similar real world events from the 19th and early 20th centuries, this album is about a traveling circus on a train that crashes in 19th-century Montana, and the journeys of the circus animals as they flee the wreckage, or try to rebuid their own societies. Gorgeous, desolate, heartbreaking.
Pale Horses (2015): Visions of the apocalypse from the perspectives of multiple world mythologies as well as from the personal perspective of the narrator observing the ruin in his own life and the city around him.
Freelance Whales
The greatest tragedy here is these folks no longer make music - one member left the band, another has passed away. Thankfully, they put out two gorgeous indie folk-pop concept albums first that I think any Lord Huron fan should listen to. Read the descriptions, you'll see why.
Weathervanes (2010): While not all songs on this album are directly linked, many of them are, and those songs follow the narrative of a boy whose family moves into an old house that turns out to be haunted. He falls in love with the ghost who lives there, and winds up killing himself to be with her - and finds he has no regrets, for life is short anyway.
Diluvia (2012): Heavily inspired by Battlestar Galactica and stories of ancient aliens, this is the tale of a distant civilization which collapses from a combination of natural disasters and perhaps their own hubris. A few of them manage to escape on a starship, and eventually discover Earth and its ancient pre-humans. The dying aliens seed the Earth with their own DNA in order to preserve the genetic traces of their once-existence.
#music recs#lord huron#I rarely if ever see any of these recommended when people are looking for music similar to LH#and I think it's because most people are looking for more like MMITW#which is fine but there's a ton of naturey folk pop out there#if you're like me then this is the shit you're really after

In honor of school starting again and me realising how much I actually fucked my life by enrolling in a gymnasium instead of a normal highschool, here is what subjects i think the yugos would teach if they worked in a gymnasium:
1. Serbia- Sports: Its in his blood to make future athlets and champions, good at every sport exept soccer and still preffers the kids playing it over any other. He pretends to be good at it and to like it, but he is terrible at it and hates the fact he is worse then croatia. Those kids will need to pay for therapy after each class from all of the verball abuse, also will break a couple of bones from Serbia forcing them to do the same practices he did in the military
2. Slovenia- Logistics: This subject apears in the last year and thats mostly why I picked it, he doesnt like most of the kids and finds them annoying, tho here he will change students every year so theres no need to pretend he likes them when he doesnt even remember them. He is the only somewhat mentaly stable in the balkans, and needs a break from constant fighting and wars
3. Macedonia- Sociology: This subject is only in the 3rd and 4th year, here the students learn about different cultures, social groups and social roles. Macedonia is the only country that peacefully left Yugoslavia and it has every possible ethnic group in the balkans. The only problem is economics is a verry important part of this class and she cant even teach it to herself let alone other kids
4. Montenegro- Religion(orthodoxy): Doesnt teach anything, either lets them go outside or goes to the church right next to the school. Doesnt even know whats he doing there, but he has several prayer ropes(brojanice) and a cross necklace so in his mind he is as religious as he can be. Most likely drinks/smokes the same second the class is over. He falls asleep while "teaching" regulary. Most likely in church aswell but somehow hid it.
5. Bosnia and Herzegovina- Ethics: Yes I think both of them would teach this. Here almost like in sociology, social dillemas, issues of identity and community and cultular customs are taught. They are the only merried couple in the balkans, would be a great example especially with Srpska living with them also
6. Croatia- Music arts: Croatia has some of the best musicians in the balkans, he listens to everything when it comes to music, likes to sing and plays the piano. Would teach them war criminal and nationalistic songs
7. Srpska- History: Emagine telling your students you are the reason ww1 happened, aswell as many other balkan wars. Would get fired the next day for multiple reasons. At first I wanted to give him geography but he would just fight with the kids the hole class
8. Vojvodina- Psychology: She is so underrated omg, shes the one that needs therapy after living with vuk, tho instead of that she teaches it to other kids to both try to heal them and herself. The kids love her tho, shes chill and would let them do anything if they dont want to listen

My new buddy @wr1ghtw0rth introduced me to Ace Attorney Musical - and oh my, it is great!
The Act 1 cleverly trimmed all the fluff from first 3 cases of AA1 and made (w)right accents in the story. Especially introducing von Karma. Oh my, he is terrifying.
It was a bit boring for me as I don't find 1-1 and 1-2 interesting, but it was amusing to listen to. But the Act 2! Focused on Edgey's case! Oh gee it's soooooooooooo good!
youtube
At first I was not a fan of Phoenix's voice, I needed some time to get used to its quite high timbre which reminded me of a teenage goatling, but in Act 2 this feeling disappeared. In Act 2 I've seen this voice actor was a right fit. He has this young stubborn yet gentle energy that Phoenix excudes.
âą But guys. My dudes and dudettes. GIRLS!
Listen to the dramatic magnificence of a velvet voice of Edgeworth and his performance!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's magestic! It's sophisticated! It's snooty yet dignified. It's so emotional and charismatic. It's so full of feelings and passion, of sorrow and inner commotion. It's so... so hnn~ â„
"Wright! Why can't you undestand
I'm not a monster?
I'm just a man!"
As Edgeworth's simp I approve.
And my gosh Larry is hillarious here!
This musical is criminally underrated. I think we should make it more popular, kittens.

I need to hear your hcs on Candy Pop and Hobo Heart pls! These two are criminally underrated-
FR LIKE NOBODY WRITES ABT THEM
Im not the most knowledgeable on candypop so i like had to reread his creepypasta so sorry if it isnt super amazing â
CANDY POP
I feel like he is very hyper and you would be exhausted after being around him for like a hourđ
Hes like 500-700 yrs old
Also he gives me the vibes of being really good at makeup
Hes around 6,9- 7,5 feet tall
He paints some of the creeps nails sometimes and is really good at it
He would be very nice but can quicky change to being very mean in a matter of seconds
He goes by he/they but doesn't really care if you call him something else
Hes acts really childish
I feel like hes super confident abt himself and can get very cocky abt it
Hes friends/acquaintances with jason,LJ,nathan,and puppeteer
He met slenderman and the proxies before but doesn't really interact with them
HOBO HEART
Poor boy probably has major trust issues/abandonment issues because of cc
Hes 100-250 yrs old
He goes by he/it
Hes 6,1(canonly)
I feel like hes very quiet and only speaks when he needs to but can get very mean
If his dog likes you then you and him will probably be friends
He tries not to get to close to people because of what happened to cc and him
I feel like he would be friends with puppeteer,judge angels,zero,jason,bloody painter, and sally but he mostly just hangs out with his dog
Hes very insecure abt himself
Hes always cold all the time
I feel like he wears grungy/ messy style of clothes
He would like gothic type of music like the cure and siouxie and the banshees
Bro just needs a hugđ
Sorry if i didnt have alot for candypop i need to do more research or whatever on himâ
