#honestly can't believe I finished this

15+ hours of crocheting/knitting in the last 3 days but I gotta say I'm extremely proud of how this last minute present turned out 🤩

(is it really last minute if I've had at least 3 rows crocheted for the last 2 years though??)

I'm on chpt20 and I want to study SQQ like a bug. My man is flushed, hair down, robes literally falling off his shoulders, LBH on his lap playing with his hair and kissing him... and he finally cottons on to the fact that maybe this isn't how you have a platonic and important discussion. Enforces it for all of five seconds at which point LBH starts massaging his waist and SQQ is back to being like "yeah this is fine and normal". Amazing. Can't believe he insults the IQ of SQH's characters.

The writers of Criminal Minds making Reid go through more shit in the last episode of season 15:

[your-ace-cousin-clover]

""With a serious look on his face, Max asks “Do you want a deal with the devil?”

Checo ponders. Or at least he pretends to. The answer has been in his mind, the moment Max has been on his knees. In any universe, the answer would’ve been the same. And just as same as all of those years ago, Fernando would call him stupid."

-

Max is the disowned heir of a corporate empire. Checo is a lawyer struggling to hold on. And the entire Wall Street watches as Red Bull Co. combusts into a trashfire.

ii 16 has killed me. I am rotting in a gutter.

I have so much to say that I can't even write it all, so there's some audio's below and just to let y'all know the of clip was like 45 mins long...

One thing I wanna say is that I was really REALLY not fucking with the whole "everyone's fake" bombshell when I was recording the last parts but now I just don't know how to feel. Idk if it's just me feeling that way or not.

This vid is genuinely how I expressed my distant for Cobs at the part where he hung up on mephone- I heard it back and knew it'd be too funny not to put a backing on.

Keep in mind, I said all that stuff maybe like 30 mins after the ep launched, it didn't really have time to settle. I hate Cobs, I love to hate Cobs, but like this is so much to be genuinely mad at that I can't help but take the piss at myself.

There's more from that audio but I've literally worked on this vid all day so.... yeah. Not parsing through more 'til tomorrow.

If you wanna hear the joy and whimsy vanish from my vocal cords tho, here's my actual reaction to the ending of the ep:

I can say with full certainty that this show has made me,

Inanimate Insane~

Sleight of Hand [Steddie Fic - 19/19]

It took over a year, but IT'S DONE. 140K! Put it on my tombstone! 

Okay, it's long as shit... But what’s it about you say. 

IDK, friend… It’s about two dudes figuring out the hard way that they’re worthy of love. It’s about getting more than you bargained for. It’s about the ways we hide and the lies we tell, and being brave enough to let someone see you, love you. Being brave enough to want and to hope and to try. About inching incompetently toward love. Also a shit ton of fucking. But sometimes the kind of fucking one person in the comments described as “the most emotionally devastating blow job scene I’ve ever read.” It’s a post season 2 AU. It’s my magnum opus. I hope you like it.

TITLE: Sleight of Hand FANDOM: Stranger Things PAIRING: Steve/Eddie RATING: Explicit WORD COUNT: 143K (Complete!) SUMMARY: Steve needs a weed dealer. He gets a bit more than that.

Jiara Ficlet #5

Word Prompt: Frantic (Read on AO3)

First off, I’m so flattered that you would even ask. I’ve never had someone send me a request before 🫣 As luck would have it, I just so happened to have the perfect word prompt for this.

Angst, Hurt/comfort, Protective JJ.

Mentions of blood and injury.

Finding Kiara face down on the ground and unconscious has to be the scariest moment of JJ's life.

He sprints towards her as fast as his legs can carry him, shouting her name in a blind panic, before collapsing on his knees at her side. As he pulls her into his arms, he's terrified of what he might see. He doesn't know the extent of her injuries or even if she was still alive.

The possibility turns his blood cold.

The first thing he notices is bright red oozing from a shallow gash on her left temple. The injury is reminiscent of JJ's run-in with the blunt end of a machete a few years ago. She's got some bruising on her face and right arm, perhaps from the fall, but other than that, externally, he couldn't locate any other injuries.

He cradles her limp body to his, shaky, unsure fingers lightly smacking her cheek, then growing in force the longer she doesn't react. "Kie, wake up! C'mon, you gotta wake up! Kiara!"

The fear constricts his chest like a vice, consuming every fibre of his being. The thought of living a single day without her is a fate worse than death. His fingers are still frantic as he searches for a pulse. Tears of relief flood his eyes when he finds one.

JJ chokes on a watery laugh before carefully brushing away the curls stuck to her forehead and pressing a kiss to her brow.

"You're okay. You're gonna be fine," he whispers, a reassurance more to himself than her. But saying the words out loud fills him with renewed vigor. Those treasure-hunting thugs were still hot on their trail, and JJ couldn't protect them both out in the open like this.

It was clear that one of their pursuers had knocked her out. If JJ had to make an educated guess, he'd say she'd been pistol-whipped. He's not sure why they let her live, and he doesn't care about their reasoning. All that matters now is getting her somewhere safe where he can treat her wound.

As carefully as he can, JJ hoists Kiara up into his arms bridal style and spins in place, surveying their surroundings and searching for any possible shelter.

His heart's beating so fast he's sure it's about to give up on him, but then Kiara begins to stir in his arms, her soft, groggy voice asking for him, and it grounds him. He touches his lips to her hairline, soothing her with a promise: "I got you, baby. I got you."

Seconds later, he spots their escape and takes off running.

HAHA.

I completed a full route (start to finish) in IF - Dusttale. 

I made this game to test stuff for my other two (IF - Underfell & IF - Mafiafell) because I was too scared of experimenting in them and losing, like, everything. But the more I tested in IF - Dusttale the closer it got to an actual ending. 

Today I sat down and finished my first draft of it. 

I’ll step away from it for a few days then come back and start the editing process. If all goes well I may be able to post the complete game this week! 

Woo hoo!

[perexcri]

happy one year to her and one of my better opening lines for a fic <3

now, because i'm curious:

Daily excerpt from today's writing, chapter 18 of A Stain that Won't Dissolve:

Sebastian's smile was so warm. Then he rocked back and forward on his hips and sighed.  'Not to target you while you're still recovering or anything, but I really think we should talk about high school. It just seems like... It just seems like that's between us actually becoming friends, or whatever.' 'Like you want to be friends with someone like me,' Alex said, finding the whole thing darkly funny.  'That's just it, why wouldn't I? Like, actually, when you're not putting me down for being gay - which...is a whole other thing - or being a nerd, or being whatever, you're actually just an interesting, quiet guy. Why wouldn't I want to be friends with you?'  Alex couldn't think of what to say. Embarrassingly, there was a voice in his head shouting: Sebastian thinks I'm interesting!

“What do you think?” Korra asks her when a group of them sits outside to watch the hypnotizing colors of the portal dance like waves across the midnight sky. A tuckered-out Meelo and Ikki share the space in her lap as Jinora meditates next to them.

“It’s…” There isn’t a word for what she wants to say. A word for the beauty she sees from it and the defeat that tightens like a fist against her chest at the sight of its vibrancy—the events that needed to happen in order for it to exist. “I’m glad you’re all right.”

The corner of Korra’s lips quirk up then fall back to neutral. She methodically smooths down the flyaway tufts of hair on top of Ikki’s head. It takes a long moment before she replies, “Me too.”

[scrawnytreedemon]

What stupid names? Can I know the names?

Ghirahim, Sephiroth, Zant, Kirby... I'm blanking but I know I have so many more.

(shout-outs to Cris!!! love ya buddy xoxo)

Micolash is a perfectly respectable irl name(a Hungarian variation of "Nikolas", iirc), but on him it has such a Vibe but then again I am writing Him. The name is the least outrageous thing here lmao.

In general, I tend to like villains, and villains tend to have "stupid-as-fuck-on-a-real-person" names. They might be perfectly serviceable with titles, but the moment you take them into a more intimate setting it's just... Bro. You're getting called that, on a day-to-day basis?

God, so sorry for blanking out on the more ridiculous names, I know I have more... But I think the grandiosity of the first two should do plenty well.

Rereading the sab trilogy and Mal isn't as bad as people made me think

[nocturne-of-illusions]

want to reread ciconia bc i love those kids so much and i love that so many countries get represented in it and it's just. so emotionally impactful.

don't want to reread ciconia bc, while there are a lot of fun and interesting and compelling moments from the get-go, a lot of the end-game impactful emotion is Depression and Disillusionment... and the Horror that, in ryukishi's words, "it was like writing about Godzilla and Godzilla really ended up coming".
