hi batsplat! i would like to say that you are an absolute pillar of the motogp community on here, like you are truly so so appreciated. both for your knowledge and also for the way you write about things (i think you could write 3000 words on a grocery store trip valentino took in 2003 and still make it super interesting reading)
i was reading your post about your favourite rivalries that didnt include one of the aliens, who would you personally include as part of that list? (versus who is really good but not quite alien status) id also really like to know if (and who) youd count as aliens from the pre-motogp era, and if theres been a difference over time about how often we are seeing aliens or if theyre easier/harder to spot as technical developments have sped up
hope you have a great day!
that's so sweet... thank you that's such an incredible compliment dsdkhfkhfd
about the aliens, the way I use the term is entirely as a historical descriptor, not as a qualitative assessment of any riders. it's a useful shorthand for a specific riders in a specific era, but to me it has limited relevance outside of that era. so to be clear we're talking valentino, casey, dani, jorge and marc - and according to common wisdom this usage originated from colin edwards' 2009 comment:
“But as I’ve said before, I’ve got to be pleased to be finishing next best behind those four guys, or should I say aliens. “They are riding out of this world and to be right behind them means I’m doing the best job I can and that’s about as good as I can hope for at the moment.”
(jorge discusses valentino as an alien in 2007, see here. which might be complete coincidence, but has always made me kind of curious whether the word was floating around in the paddock in some capacity before edwards 'coined' the term)
the thing is, right, it made sense to treat those four (and later -casey +marc) as distinct from the field, because they were winning almost everything. one reason for this was that they were very good, very skilled riders. another was that from 2007-15, only four to six bikes were capable of regularly challenging for wins at any one time. it was a massive field disparity that quite frankly was partly enforced through machinery. that's why it makes sense to include marc in that term: it's not just the fact that he was very good, it's the fact that he was riding a repsol honda that was the best or second best bike by a long way for his first three years in the premier class. in 2016, motogp returned to michelins and introduced new technical regulations - and for all intents and purposes, the alien era ended. it ended when eight different riders won in eight races that season. yes, marc, valentino and jorge were still the top three in the championship... but it's the difference of whether you go into a weekend convinced you know the winner will come from a list of four riders, or if you very much do not know that. between 2008 to 2015, apart from the aliens, a grand total of two riders claimed wins - dovi on a repsol honda in 2009 and ben spies on a factory yamaha in 2011. both of those were wet races (which of course are generally more open than dry ones). so just to reiterate: a greater number of riders won in 2016 alone (9) than in 2008-15 combined (7). (in 2007, a further two different riders won races - capirossi on the championship-winning factory ducati and vermeulen on the suzuki.) yes, obviously the aliens were very good riders, nobody is going to argue with you over that... but those numbers? they're only possible in a specific version of motogp - one that only existed for a few years
honestly, I don't even really use the term 'alien' to describe valentino pre-2006 or marc post-2016. it's just not that useful to me... aliens to me is a 'pack hunter' thing, where even if some of them are injured or are having a bad day or whatever, at least one of them will basically always be there to pick up the pieces. marc and valentino might have dominated the sport as a whole - but not all of their championship seasons were completely dominant, and there's only so much any one athlete can dominate in the sport... you're not going into every single weekend thinking 'oh yeah they're definitely going to win' (yes, yes, there were two times per year where you did very much do that with marc). which is different when you compare it to the aliens as a pack, where you could be confident that ONE of them would end the weekend on the top step of the podium
which is why I just don't apply the alien term to anyone pre-valentino - it's not because I think they were less good or less talented or less anything, it's because for me it's a term that's more about an era than it is about individual riders. you have to treat each era on its own, and I'm not really a big fan of inter-era comparisons. it's just kind of impossible to say whether a rider in the 1970s is more talented than one in the 2020s, whether ago's numbers are more or less impressive than marc's and so on... the sport has just changed in so many ways over the years. of course, in sports you do generally have this upward momentum where each generation is 'better' than the last. sports has gotten more professionalised, there's been massive advances in terms of pedagogy and sports medicine and exercise science and all of those things - all of which already affects how athletes train from childhood onwards. the young aren't more 'talented' in the sense that they were born with an innate superior ability to compete at the sport, but they are more 'talented' in that their ultimate ceiling will be higher as a result of all these gradual changes over time. these things can change quite quickly even (and if other sports is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if the nineties/early noughties brought some big changes in that regard) - so already between, for instance, valentino and marc there'd probably been a real shift in how young talent is being nurtured
(the most blunt illustration of this is that young valentino's lifestyle was completely different from that of young riders today, in terms of how much time he spent training in the gym, sleeping habits, nutrition etc etc. athletes now can't get away with that much deviation any more, and indeed valentino had to massively change his approach in the 2010s to remain competitive - but of course it's different if you haven't been doing this stuff since you were a kid. I think we can safely assume valentino's 2003 supermarket trips looked rather different from marc's 2017 ones)
being good in pro sports may in some ways be harder now than it was in, say, the eighties, and the level of competition you're facing might be higher now - but of course, it would also by extension be unfair to judge those athletes by the standards of today. also, different eras are going to lend themselves to different profiles of rider depending on competitive trends, type of machinery and so on - even very basic stuff like how tall you are might have helped you in a certain era and hindered you in another... so what does that mean for talent? if we're discussing 'talent' at all, how can we possibly treat it as anything other than relative to the era we're discussing? to me, it just makes these comparisons between different generations pretty pointless... or well, I like talking about some of this stuff in a more holistic 'isn't this interesting' kind of way, not a 'this is why xyz is better than xyz' approach... this kind of thing is also why I finds goat debate such a uniquely boring way to spend your time, incidentally
this is a very long way of saying, I don't have a metric by which I judge athletes pre-2000 as 'alien' or 'not alien'! I think you have similarly dominant athletes, though again it is so tough to decide how much of that is down to talent and how much of it is down to bike advantage. if you take doohan's title winning seasons for instance:
yeah, look, sure, you can call him an alien as far as I'm concerned - if I'm watching these races live I will be expecting doohan to win in any given weekend. I'm still kind of missing the pack hunter feel in some of these seasons, so I won't know for certain the winner is going to come from a very short list. like take 1998:
not really one group vs the field, is it? and yeah, even if I consider doohan an 'alien' in some of those seasons, I'm still not going to call him that - because the term was essentially coined in 2009 for a specific group of guys that one other guy was later added onto. the competitive landscape and demands of doohan's era were so different that it feels off to try and go back and label him or any other past riders aliens... they were phenomenally talented, yes, they were great champions, yes, they can be called as good as the aliens, sure - but why wrench the term out of its historical context? is it still an analytically useful concept if you do so, except as a way to generically refer to a rider as 'very talented'?
which is also why I personally don't describe anyone since then as an alien. this doesn't mean I don't think fabio or now pedro aren't as good as those guys were, I just don't think they've been given the opportunity to have that kind of hold over the sport. fabio won five out of eighteen races in 2021 - and he did so on a yamaha that basically only he was able to consistently get a high level of performance out of. which is deeply impressive - but unlike say casey in 2007, he didn't have those other riders to dominate all the other races. eight riders won a race that season! it's just a fundamentally different competitive landscape. personally, I'd be perfectly content if we don't get another alien era. of course 2007-15 isn't all bad, but for good reason most fans' most fondly remembered eras are either 2001-06 or 2017-19... yes, at times one rider was too dominant, but it still felt like more riders had a shot at victory - and most importantly the quality of the racing was generally very high. this kind of domination by a few mega talents on the best machinery can get drab pretty quickly (though of course a lot of the blame for decreased race quality needs to be assigned to the 800cc era 2007-11, not to any of the aliens themselves)
I'd be quite happy to retire the term alien going forwards... except as a useful shorthand for a specific group of guys who have mostly retired. it shouldn't be used as a way to bash the young stars, as if they just can't measure up to the legends of the past. which would be dumb! again, plenty of ways in which motogp is harder now than it ever has been, though the most important thing is that it's just... different. not better, not worse, just different. sure, maybe we'll get another equivalent to the alien era, even though I personally think it's quite unlikely. if it happens, yeah, let's discuss cranking the term out again (and, yes, if you look at the current season and ignore sprints... if this current trend continues then we can have the debate at the end of the season. pecco and jorge despite all their apparent inconsistencies are currently building a pretty solid case for themselves) (now I've said that they're both gonna crash out of assen huh)
that being said! I don't exactly neatly follow this principle myself, because sometimes I do use something like the term 'alien-like talent' to refer to fabio or pedro... obviously, you can argue this is basically the same as calling them aliens in everything but semantics. so what's the criteria there? when do I use this term? I think to me it's just... instant, 'in your face' talent. they arrive to the premier class and they shine basically immediately. valentino got a relatively sedate start to the premier class by alien standards - which is fitting, because he's not really about that blistering raw pace. still, he wasn't far from being a rookie champion, got ten podiums, two wins... not too bad. casey was on a satellite team, but he got pole in his second ever race and came painfully close to winning his third. dani got a podium on debut and fought for the championship for almost the entire season. jorge got pole in his first three races and won his third. marc won the second time out and of course secured the title in his rookie season. compare that to fabio - pole in his fourth ever race on satellite machinery, fighting for wins in his first season. pedro got a podium in his second ever race and is handily outperforming everyone else on that bike
so it's about how quickly these guys pick this stuff up, how quickly they make that step from one level to another - though again, it's important to stress you can't just neatly compare these achievements! valentino's first two seasons were on 500cc bikes, which were notorious for being kind of evil. some of these riders started on satellite bikes (we're not counting valentino here), and there's also plenty of talk about how the bikes have become more complicated to ride now, making pedro's rapid adjustment even more impressive. but in every case, there is just this ability to 'be fast immediately', whatever the circumstances... and it's worth pointing out that even though pecco had a mediocre rookie season, he was incredibly quick in 2019 pre-season testing. jorge martin secured his first pole position and podium at his second race in motogp
speaking of, those two were already a touch older when they joined the premier class. there does generally seem to be something to the idea that in motorcycle racing, if you are not already very fast at a certain age, you will have a quite definitive ceiling... and from valentino onwards, the age by which you need to already have reached that standard of 'very good' seems to have gone down. when we're talking about talent and throwing around the term alien, this feels like another important change to mention - doohan was not winning his titles as a 22 year old! neither was rainey! or schwantz! or lawson! or... actually spencer was very young, yeah. but I think you get the point. I cannot tell you definitively why this changed, but it clearly has changed. in the 21st century, only two riders have won titles when they were older than 26: valentino (29-30) and jorge (28). valentino and marc were both 27 when their dominance over the sport ended (even if valentino secured titles after that point and marc will very probably do so as well). casey was 27 when he retired. (fun fact: pecco bagnaia is currently 27 years old.) so overall it's pretty rare in grand prix motorcycle racing to operate at the top of the premier class for more than a certain number of years - but the precise age window in which you are likely to be at your best does seem to have shifted pretty radically this century. which should demonstrate how hard these things are to compare... like I said, talent is often assessed by how quickly you are good at something - but if we called mick doohan a late bloomer, it would be wildly ahistorical
and yeah, look, this idea of 'you have to be good young or you will have a certain ceiling' is hardly unique to motogp, lots of sports are like that... another measure of this precocity that's perhaps more useful than just 'age' is looking how long it took them to win a title from when they joined the premier class (if they did so at all, of course). it's generally very fast! marc year one, valentino, casey and joan year two, jorge and fabio year three... and, well, pecco and hayden year four. of course, there's exceptions to this 'be fast immediately' rule - athletes who ended up being very good and title contenders who had slightly different paths getting there. the sete's and dovi's of this world - and to a lesser extent hayden too, who unlike those two was only even really a title contender in a single season... but generally speaking, those riders seem more heavily reliant on circumstances playing out just right to have a shot at a title
or perhaps! perhaps it's going to change! especially if you look at repeat champions, pecco does become a bit of an outlier in how he got there this century, doesn't he? compare the numbers he was posting in his rookie season vs valentino, casey, jorge and marc. and in some ways, you can extend this even further and say he's a massive historical outlier in terms of any premier class champions. there was an article about this in late 2022:
and some more about how historically unusual he is:
isn't that great? you don't become premier class champion with that kind of a rookie season, but pecco did! hey, aleix was a serious title threat in that season, which is a far more remarkable story still! and the thing is, right, if you're studying the current era and are labelling some riders aliens but leaving out pecco... then no offence but what's the point? look, who knows, maybe marc and pedro and david alonso are going to dominate the next twenty titles and pecco will have been a weird blip. but isn't there something fun about believing that a bunch of different riders could eventually develop into title threats? wouldn't it be kind of cool if you don't have to just write someone off age 22 any more? I don't know, I think it's a neat development! I hope it sticks around! there'll be plenty of alien-level talents in the future, but personally I wouldn't mind at all if there were no more aliens
#hope you have a great day too anon and again that is an INCREDIBLY sweet comment#'aliens' is just my way of avoiding the term 'fantastic four'. but that's basically how I use it#obviously this is all my personal read bla bla... if you want to call fabio or schwantz or surtees an alien go ahead none of my business#it's not something i feel THAT strongly about. i do feel strongly about talent discourse though!!#i mean relative to other sports pecco's already pushing it for me... that moto2 title is a bit sus#in a different way fabio was FANTASTIC!! what a surprise! what a revelation! people had written that kid off and they were so wrong!#motogp#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#i'm very jekyll and hyde about this in motogp because in sports in general i'm not into the wunderkids#but i just HAPPEN to like a few specific guys in motogp a lot who HAPPENED to dominate the championship for like two decades#that's not me!! i'm all about smarts over natural talent about getting gradually better rather than showing up fully formed#shaking my head while watching 2001/2007/2010/2013 to show everyone i don't agree with what's happening

"Tell me the truth." (sfw) For Solomon, in lieu of the 1k event? Glad to see your blog grow, I hope it only continues to grow even bigger in the coming future and you continue to enjoy what you love! You have a great talent for writing and I hope you enjoy these days joyously <3
Hello, anon! Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this sweet message! I am truly enjoying myself and I'm so happy to know that others are enjoying my writing as well!
Okay, listen. This one... I kinda got carried away. I really love Solomon and I think about him a lot, but especially what it must be like to be immortal. So this one kinda ended up being about that. I made myself incredibly sad writing and editing it, though. So be prepared for that, I suppose. I think it turned out good for all that, but just be prepared for ~feelings~!
Thank you for participating!

GN!MC x Solomon with prompt "Tell me the truth."
Warnings: Angst. Like I kinda think this one's sad all the way through, even though things are good between Solomon and MC.
Experience will always alter the perception of time. Life can seem to slowly crawl by, long days and longer nights, alone and empty without anything but dreams. It might also rush past, a frantic whirlwind of activity, barely a moment to breathe let alone think. It is a constant ebb and flow, the continual flux of the present and the past, a liquid temperament that causes life to shape and reshape itself like quicksilver.
Solomon had been alive for a long time before you ever made an appearance. His understanding of time was vastly different from any human with a normal life span. He couldn’t possibly remember what it was like to know his own mortality, that he had a finite number of years, that he would eventually meet his end. He couldn’t remember that feeling because it simply wasn’t true for him anymore.
He had times when things ran by, when the days careened past like a runaway train car. They were more likely to creep through his consciousness, though, especially when he was lonely, which was often.
That was why he noticed immediately how his own experience changed after you showed up. At first, it was nothing. You were always busy and he didn’t exactly spend a lot of time with you. But then he found himself more involved, starting with the danger that almost destroyed the three worlds, that almost ended your life. After that he was more aware of you, choosing to watch you from afar. The occupation of it caused time to move by just a little quicker than it used to.
And then you became his apprentice and he found himself spending even more time with you. Every moment seemed important now. He treasured every second he spent by your side, hating the way they tumbled like sand through his fingers while he was powerless to stop them or slow them down.
Solomon had plenty of time, but you didn’t.
He was aware of mortality in a way he hadn’t been since before he became immortal - aware of your mortality.
So of course he noticed when you started spending more time at Purgatory Hall than you normally did. He was hyper aware of every scrap of time he was able to spend with you. Your increased presence was more than obvious to him. It wasn’t just that you were around more, either. He saw it in the way you lingered longer, the way you suddenly chose to walk home with him, the way you asked him about spells that he knew you had already mastered, as if you needed to hear his voice even if it was just to explain something you already knew.
Solomon noticed how you called him more frequently, too. It became a nightly ritual. One day you called after dinner, saying you just felt like talking to him. And then you did it again the next day and the day after that. Solomon began to anticipate your calls. And if you couldn't call, you would text him.
Solomon clung to every word. Everything you said or wrote to him, every time he found you waiting for him, every time he saw your smile. He knew that you had obligations, loyalties to the demon brothers that he wouldn’t be able to penetrate. But even more than that he knew that you simply had a limit on time. And he cherished everything, locking away the memories of you for the inevitable future when they would be all he had left.
Night in the Devildom was dark, despite the stars and the occasional full moon. Existing in this darkness was something he had gotten used to. It was late, but Solomon had insisted on walking you back to the House of Lamentation. Once again you had spent more time at Purgatory Hall than you should have, giving excuse after excuse about why you needed to stay longer, just one more question about magic, a recipe you wanted to share with Luke, a book Satan wanted you to give Simeon. It was like you collected these little things so you could use them to your advantage when you seemed unwilling to go home.
It had been going on for quite some time and Solomon had been content to let it.
But there was something about walking with you in the dark of this Devildom night that caused his heart to stir. You likely couldn’t see much other than his silhouette and to him you were like a shadow, a living breathing shadow walking beside him, but one he couldn’t read. And there was something safe about this state of partial invisibility.
“You really didn’t want to go home tonight, did you?” Solomon asked, keeping his tone light.
You laughed softly. “Yeah, I guess not.”
“That seems to have been happening a lot lately,” Solomon said. “Is everything all right?”
Solomon felt you shift beside him in the darkness as the two of you walked slowly toward the House of Lamentation. As though you had a slight misstep.
“Everything’s fine,” you said, but the tone of your voice indicated that this was a lie.
Solomon stopped walking. After a few more steps you realized he had stopped and turned to look at him. He couldn’t see your expression in the dark.
“MC,” he said. “You can trust me. Tell me the truth.”
Solomon watched as you looked down at your hands, seemingly unable to meet his eyes even though you could barely see them. Your reluctance to speak made him realize he wanted - needed - to see you clearly.
Solomon took your hand and gently pulled you into the light of a nearby street lamp. Your face became fully visible to him and the fear in your eyes stabbed through his heart.
He took your other hand and held them both close. “It’s okay, MC,” he said. “Whatever is going on, I promise I’ll do whatever I can to help you. You’re safe with me.”
The way this made you frown hard, as though you might be fighting back your emotions, made Solomon want to pull you into his embrace, but he waited. Waited to see what you would say, if you would confide in him.
A soft wind kicked up, rustling your hair and clothes, tossing the edges of Solomon’s silver hair into his eyes. He kept his gaze on you, waiting.
Solomon had a lot of time, but you did not. He could wait forever if he had to, but you didn’t have that kind of luxury. He couldn’t begrudge you some moments of reflection, a brief amount of seconds to consider your response, but he knew you couldn’t really know how precious each one of those seconds was to him.
You moved finally, squeezing his hands before looking down at them. He watched the blush that painted your face as you quietly said, “I just want to be with you. I’m happiest when I’m by your side, so I find it hard to leave.”
Solomon felt like his chest was rupturing, filled with a force of feeling he could never hope to articulate. He closed his eyes and pulled you into his arms, unable to resist holding you. “This is what you were afraid to tell me?”
You gripped him hard, pressing your face into his shoulder. “I thought…” but you seemed unable to say what you thought.
Solomon leaned back and made you look at him. “You thought I wouldn’t want you? That I wasn’t already completely lost to you? That I don’t measure the minutes you’re with me like the precious commodity they are? MC, all I could ever want is to be with you.”
Solomon watched the tears brimming in your eyes. He reached out to brush away the one that fell down your cheek.
Solomon moved in and you met him halfway and the feeling of your lips against his was so soft and sweet he almost started crying, too.
Time would inevitably take you away from him. Solomon knew that. And yet for once he was willing to deal with that grief when it happened if it meant he could spend what precious years you had making you as happy as he possibly could. The memory of your face might fade from his mind, but the strength of your love would never fade from his heart. He could hold you there for the rest of eternity, keeping him company through long nights when he would find himself alone and missing you.
For now, Solomon would hold you and kiss you and spend every minute he possibly could in your presence. He would celebrate your life for the fleeting thing it was because despite its brevity, it had forever changed his own endless existence. And in this way, held forever in Solomon’s memory and heart, you would become immortal, too.

Could I make a request? It's my birthday tomorrow and I'd love to know how the boys (maybe both individually and poly) would treat their S/O on their birthday. Love your fics and HCs, so glad I found your blog!
Absolutely you can! And Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day!
I’m gonna do headcannons because I think they would work best for this request:)
Celebrating your Birthday with the Lost Boys
David:
•He’s grumpy, but he adores you
•He gives, ‘I hate everyone but you’ energy with his S/O
•He likes to seem indifferent a lot of the time, since he’s got this ‘super cool leader of a biker gang’ reputation he needs to protect
•But he cares for you very deeply
•He listens to everything you say. Everything.
•And he’s incredibly observant and always keeping a close eye on you
•So if there was something you told him you wanted but it was too expensive, or something you liked at a store but talked yourself out of buying
•He got it for you
•The craziest most extravagant things you might never have gotten for yourself
•A Cartier bracelet? It’s yours. A PS5? All wrapped up for you. A signed first edition of your favorite book? Yep. Don’t ask how he got it.
•Seriously. Don’t ask.
•He shows his love by spoiling you and he wants you to feel loved on your special day🥹
Dwayne:
•Dwayne is the romantic of the group
•He writes you the sweetest birthday card you’ve ever gotten
•It’s like a love letter to you and you can feel his adoration coming off the page
•You can see how he started out with normal sized letters, but he had so much to say that they get smaller and smaller towards the end
•He writes over and over again how much he loves you and cares for you
•He writes about how happy he is that you were born and how lucky he is to be with you
•He tells you how you’re incredibly smart, ridiculously attractive, and overwhelmingly kind
•He includes a little poem about you as well, taking the time to detail your features and compare you to an Angel or some other worldly creature
•He writes about how he genuinely can’t believe a treasure like you could love a “literal monster” like him, but he’ll spend the rest of his eternal life trying to return the love he thinks you’re worthy of
•He thinks the world of you and wants you to feel appreciated and loved, not just on your birthday, but everyday
•He signs it ‘xxxxxxx <- my kisses’
•Just to make sure you know
•He asks Laddie to sign the card too and Laddie writes about how special you are and how grateful he is for you too
Paul:
•Listen
•He is his gift to you
•He shows up to your nest with a bow on his chest and winks at you
•I said on anon to another TLB account once that I think Paul’s the type of guy to give you a cast of his dick as a present and I stand by it
•If you’re not into that though he totally respects it and he’ll get you something else
•He’ll give you tons of cuddles and hugs
•He just likes to hold you, and he knows you like to be held🥹
•He tapes a birthday hat he cut out of a magazine on to fishy’s bowl for you too
•He would also want to give you a kiss for every year you’ve been alive
•He’s like, “you want em all at once or throughout the day?”
•Every time he gives you a kiss he’ll tell you something he loves about you
•Man has no filter and is always ready to tell you all the reasons you’re special to him
•He also makes you a little coupon book with sweet little things like “good for one bear hug,” “redeem for one boardwalk adventure,” and “turn into Paul for one quiet night together at the beach.”
•There are also some..um….spicy coupons in there too (if you want them of course)
•He says those you can reuse;)
Marko:
•Marko bakes you a cake:)
•Now this can go one of two ways
•Marko makes Panettone and Pandoro for the boys around Christmastime
•When he lived in Italy, his mom taught him how to make it and he still uses her recipe
•If that’s what he does, it turns out really great and it’s super yummy!
•However, if Marko makes you ANY other cake…good luck
•Aside from beloved family recipes intertwined with childhood memories, Marko does not believe in recipes.
•He is an agent of chaos and his cooking skills reflect this for the most part.
•He also really doesn’t get baking soda/powder and how much you should add (but he’ll never admit that and look at a recipe, that’s for quitters)
•But whichever he does he makes it with love🥹
•He frosts it, writes a sweet happy birthday message in colored icing on it, puts candles on it and lights them for you
•Once you blow out the candles he’ll take a little bit of it and shove it in Paul’s face (like wedding style)
•He wouldn’t do it to you of course because it’s your birthday (but Paul is fair game😈)
•He watches you eat it with heart eyes because food is such a big part of the culture in Italy, and it means a lot to him when you eat what he makes and enjoy it
Poly:
•If you’re more extroverted and don’t mind attention, they throw you a party in the cave!
•They invite all your friends and family so you’re surrounded by all the people you love
•Marko buys all your favorite snacks and drinks
•David makes a playlist of all your favorite songs for dancing and vibing
•Dwayne and Paul are in charge of decorations
• “We need a theme”
• “Not all parties have themes Paul”
• “All the good parties do! Don’t you want the best for the love of our life???”
•They make it an 80s theme party
•And not like tacky 80s themed, actual, very authentic 80s themed party
•All the guest come in 80s themed outfits (they don’t need to change) and they put something aside for you to wear too when you arrive at the party
•They do the whole ‘make everyone hide until you come in and then jump out and yell surprise’ thing
•Then you dance the night away celebrating with your favorite people!
•But if you don’t like parties, and you prefer not to be the center of attention, they have a plan for that too!
•They steal get a projector and screen and they set it up in the center of the cave
•They pull the mattress from your nest out into the main area too and throw tons of blankets and pillows on it
•They make popcorn and grab tons of candy and soda
•When you get to the cave they surprise you with a movie night in!
•You spend the night cuddled up next to them watching your favorite movie
•If you fall asleep, they carry the mattress back to your nest (with you on it of course) and all fall asleep in your nest with you
•They love you so much and want you to have the best birthday ever:)
I hope you liked this:)

Anonymous asked:
Hello Ryu!! I hope you're having a great...whatever time it is for you! And I hope you're taking care of yourself! Your posts are one of the highlights of my day! No matter if they're art or replies.
And um, if it's ok, idk how we ask this, but would you put that recent-ish Skully fanart on your Ko-fi please? The one with the pumpkin? I hope I'm not being rude. I adore your fanart. And Skully. And Skully in your art style.
Anyway you're one of my fave fanartists! Have a great rest of the day!
Anon, this is so incredibly sweet, thank you so much! I am very happy to hear that you enjoy this blog and that it makes your day a little better. It truly means a lot.
To answer your question: YES, ABSOLUTELY, I just added it to the shop!! I am extremely happy to hear that you liked that drawing!
Also just in case: you are not being rude! I don’t update the shop very often because I am not sure if people are interested in new high-res pngs, so you expressing that you’d like to have it is super helpful. So if you ever want me to put anything else there, just let me know in any way you want – an ask, a DM, anything.

OH GOD! A LAYOUT CHANGE!
How Shocking, How Scandalizing... I fear I may never recover!
Hehe thank youuuu~ I’m glad to hear you like it! >:3c It’s Sebastian 2.0!
Katsu suddenly suggested to redraw the pfp, so I did it, and we updated the layout a little bit to match it. I don’t recognise myself in our feed anymore lol
Anonymous asked:
Thank you for answering my ask! For me personally it’s that past experiences has made my relationship with anything nsfw or sexual very very confusing and emotional, but I don’t wanna be like this forever. I think maybe art could be a good way to try and sort through it but it feels hard to start. I think part of what you said could be the start though, that it doesn’t have to be anything big or even show genitalia.
Thank you very much! -💜🌹
(this is related to this post)
No problem, Anon!
I understand what you mean; your past experiences could make you very hesitant to do things even if you really want to do them and they are not harmful to anyone, or to have bad associations and even triggers. Figuring out your level of comfort also could be more difficult if you are still influenced by the consequences of those past experiences… Still, I think it’s wonderful that you want to work on that and to make yourself feel better and more comfortable, to clear things up for yourself – I don’t doubt for a moment that you will be able to handle it, even if it takes time.
Starting with little steps is great I think, it’s like dipping your toes before diving in.
I wish you all the luck and patience in the world.

Yeah… a regular stroke and a heatstroke! That’s too much for a poor mermaid’s heart :”(

I need Che'nya to screw Riddle til he's drooling and whining. A little fun to de-stress. I wish there was more stuff about them ;-;
Anon you are so right, there really is almost no stuff with these two!! Such a shame!!
Like you said, Che’nya would be great for Riddle in terms of de-stress. Sometimes this boy needs to get fucked until he can’t even stand and speak properly anymore…
I should draw them at some point, sigh.
Anonymous asked:
I read your most recent set of replies and got curious as to how Unsweetened Lemonade applies to Malleus and Lilia. Could you go into more depth about that, if you don't mind?
To be honest, Anon, I don’t really have a lot to say about it, I’m basing it off vibes for the most part lol
Bittersweetness + disappointment, the feeling of tiredness, of cheating death, “a winner but at what cost” type of feeling. I could be completely wrong, of course.
Once again, I am not the best person to tie songs with characters, or at least I never dive too deep into it and don’t usually analyse lyrics, just do the “well if you squint” thing.

i hope your having a great day!! i’ve just been think about the possibilities of annie and brady’s FIRST KISS. the slow burn😩 and ik it’s killing them(probs especially john) just as much as it is me. ik details are definitely something your keeping close to ur chest as a writer but i cannot wait to read what finally does it, who initiates it, etc.
HI SWEET ANON!!!! apologies that i am a day late to this!!!! was incredibly busy today (and yesterday…and really every day atp lmao) so thank u so so much for the well wishes!!!! i have some down time between evening classes so i was very excited to get to this! 🥰
THE POSSIBILITES OF THE ANNIE X BRADY FIRST KISS. oh dear anon i fear you have done nothing but make me INCREDIBLY EXCITED. i have the first half of it written actually 🤭 !!!!!! and i am *very* excited to get to the other half (possibly this friday, we’ll see i’ve been wayyyyy too busy i fear)!!!!
indeed my reaction upon seeing this though hehe:
we KNOW captain john brady is absolutely losing his mind - because he is and has been in love with annie for far longer than he has even known himself and the thought of him just makes him go a little crazy he’s found….. i mean we saw bucky with how he was with his and kennedy’s like…JOHN BRADY IS LOSING HIS MIND FOLKS!!!!!
hehe yes! u know me too well sweet anon! i have found i definitely like to keep the mystery there until i can post, but i do like to tease things for fics haha! u definitely get my vibe though 🤣 i will say ….. it is seemingly becoming a trend here and a john brady POV of the first kiss seems to be in the works for this 👀
AND I’LL LEAVE U WITH THAT! thank u again sweet anon! enjoy the rest of your day/night/evening!!!!! <3333
#HEHEHEHEHEH#can u imagine a john brady pov like it’d be him and his brain cells on fire going absolutely insane#i said what i said#he’d be in complete panic/losing my mind/is this real/OHMYGODTHISISANNIEBRADSHAW sorta vibes#LMFAO#anyways#yes yes yes#sweet anon#this made me both so happy and excited!#it’s hard to not get to write as much but know people are still thinking of the *possibilites* makes me incredibly excited!!!!#annie x brady#annie bradshaw#silver bullets#mota writjngs#the SB girlies!#WE NEED MORE ANNIE X BRADY CONTENT DONT WE

Hi! How are you? I saw headcanon requests are open and got excited! I was wondering if you would be willing to do Dr. Stone headcanons for Ukyo, because he is sweet boi. If not, I totally understand! I hope you’re doing well and I hope you have a wonderful day!
*squeals* YES! I love Ukyo so much kjajkearjkjke I've gotcha anon! (And I'm doing well- thank you :3)
-Ticklish ears. Even grazing them or puffing on them will make him shiver. By far his worst tickle spot for sure! (Though his armpits and upper ribs are terrible too.) Also really ticklish palms.
-Super bubbly laugh- kinda whiny too if you get his bad spots. They're the kind to grow louder and gigglier the longer you tickle him- and if you suddenly switch it up and go from a not so ticklish spot (His ribs) to his ears- he will shriek. Kinda hates it though cause his hearing is so delicate but it's really endearing to listen.
-He's a rolly-polly squirmer; even when he likes it his natural reaction is to squirm away and escape. If he's in a mood he'll roll back in, but even if he's not he's still within grabbing distance. Be careful though- try as he might to prevent it- Ukyo's a bit of flailer. One wrong move and you might be headbutted or smacked with the back of his hand (he'll feel awful about it RIP)
-He's too good as a ler- very mischievous and sneaky. He loves sneaking up on people and giving them a quick little tickle before fading away, doing that repeatedly throughout the evening until either someone catches him or he just decides to full blown attack. If his target says something along the lines of "Just tickle me already!" You KNOW he's on it. Don't bother hiding from him- he can hear every little thing from the steps you take to the shallowest breathe.
-He's a little bit of a tease; very "Oh, are you ticklish here? What about here? Here? Oo, sounds like this is a bad spot huh? What was that noise- let's hear it again". He's incredibly gentle- leans heavily on light skitters over harder kneading. By far one of the softest tickler of all the Kingdom of Science (just behind Tsukasa). This works out especially great for Chrome (who is very weak to light skittery tickles) and Nikki (Not as effective on her but she finds them incredibly soothing).
Thanks for reading!
#dr stone#ukyo saionji#tickle#tickle headcanons#headcanons#fluff#Best boi deserves all the cuddles and snuggles#also HC requests are closed right now!#Not directed at you anon just a general reminder before anyone sends them in#I'm finally getting around to filling these whoops#thanks for understanding!

Hello, I hope you’ve been having a great day! For the ask game, (I don’t remember if it’s 51 or 52 😂 ):
Does your family and friends know you write HP fanfics? If so are they supportive/tease or even read it without knowing you’re the author and talked to you about “a fic they just read”?
Also, what are your NOTPs if you have any for the HP fandom.
Hi there, Anon! 👋🏼 Thanks for these great questions! I'm having a pretty nice day, and I hope you are too!
Do my family/friends know about my writing? Yes (to an extent). My husband and my 3 best friends know I write! I really don't talk about it much due to some past incidences I had when I wrote fic in middle school/junior high when I was teased pretty publicly for it 😅. One of those friends used to read and currently reads fic, so I talk to her most about it—she hasn't read any of my fics yet (she's on a Dramione kick right now) but intends to eventually! My other two friends don't read fic so other than knowing I'm writing, they don't really have an interest in it, which is totally fine. (I'm literally sitting on one of their couches and writing now while she works lol)
Mr. Kelsey is super supportive in the ways I let him be 😅 He's currently rereading Harry Potter and knows I have like a depth of knowledge on it so will always ask questions. I'm trying to get better at talking about fic with him but the idea of letting him read anything is just mortifying to me for some reason (personally I think it's because there's like...so much to understand AROUND Jily to get to Jily that just seems like a lot to explain lol). BUT he'll find TikToks about writing and send them to me in case they can help me when I'm writing, which I find incredibly sweet.
No teasing here, just my own deep-seated and past insecurities 🙃
Any NoTPs for HP? J*gulus, J*gulily, Sn*ly...Pretty much anything with a Death Eater and a person who we know would NEVER (also oppressor/oppressed, teacher/student, etc...I can't do it). Also Tomarry, Tomione, etc.
I loved these questions, thank you again for asking them! :)

Hi!
It's the game anon again. I hope you are fine, or that it will get easier for you soon.
I finished the fourth part of Diverted Route. It was incredible, I really liked how you pushed farther the concept of deshumanization and how even with help, sometimes people are just too late and it is harder to heal. It is really well written.
I also began (and almost finished part 2) of Off the Rails. I want to read your previous works to work up to the more recent ones. I find it amazing. I could see at first the differences in your writing style, but it was as much compelling as Diverted Route. I loved this new concept, all the story you made around it, and really liked how you wrote each relationship (the strain of the time, separations and life threatening events).
Now, I am slowly beginning your fangame, and I have a few questions on Diverted Route. But maybe, if it is alright with you, I could DM you about those?
Have a better night/day, and week!
Hello again!
That's very sweet of you. I'm having a hard time in my personal life, admittedly, but I'm doing my best to get through it.
I'm glad to hear you liked it! I really enjoyed getting to write that alternate look on how things might go if things took a little bit longer and got a little worse.
I'm also glad to hear you're liking the older works as well! I've gone back and read through them occasionally, and you can definitely tell where my writing style has changed (and improved, I think). When I started writing Unknown Tracks, I hadn't written anything in over two years and that was the first fanfiction I ever wrote, so my skills were pretty rusty. It's kind of amazing how much that's kickstarted my drive to write, and even if I still haven't done much with my original works, I feel like it's been great for my mental health as well as my writing skills.
I am very excited to hear that you're working on it! You can absolutely DM me about it, and I will gladly answer any questions I can!
I hope you have a lovely day as well!

hi, i’m not a self-shipper but i’m a new steins;gate fan who’s been seeing your posts in the tag recently, and i thought it was super nice to see someone posting regular content about daru! characters like him often go unappreciated in fandom, so it was a pleasant surprise to see daru love on main! he deserves it!
if i may ask (because i am a curious nut and i like to encourage people to talk about their interests) do you have any headcanons about him or about the two of you together as a couple? gush as much as you like! you sound like a super cute couple to me!
i hope this ask isn’t weird or too chummy btw, i’m just trying to be friendly :)
OH MY GOD AAA This is the kind of stuff that keeps me going tbh, thank you so much for this incredibly sweet ask anon!! I owe you my life. 😭 Lately I've been getting more Daru appreciation on my art and to be honest, I am genuinely SO happy! 🥺 He really does deserve the attention and if people consider him as their new f/o, I'd be so happy for them!! That just means I'm just doing my Daru propaganda job well enough. / u \ I love him so much that I just want the best for him: he's the sweetest baby and such an amazing partner for me! He's really been my f/o for a full year at this point and I still can't believe it.. it's like I started on loving him just yesterday for how much my interest in him is still so strong. Btw, for the headcanon part, I can share some I've posted in the past: [here] But for other ones I have: I'd say one of them would be that we'd probably be both insane Jojo buddies! It's canon he's very much into the in-universe equivalent of it by referencing it with lines like "But I refuse!" and even cosplays Jotaro in the Committee of Zero's cosplay patch!
He looks amazing btw, makes him even more handsome than he already is hihi 🤭 Also it's completely ok!! This ask absolutely made my day and I encourage more of this kind of interaction tbh, I love to see it! Thank you again for asking!! Have a great day/night. 💕

Fic Reading Challenge Stats Dec & 2023 Round-up
Happy New Year! I come bearing reading stats and fic recs. I hope you're able to take some time and enjoy some of the stories that kept me company this year. 🖤
In 2023, I read (or reread) over 21.7 million words (1209 stories). My goal for this year was 20 million - so I'm feeling extra accomplished. I read 577 unique authors and 114 unique fandoms and 162 unique ships! The vast majority of stories this year were from one pairing - so the fact that I read even one story from this many pairings makes me happy.
I participated in the @fanfic-reading-challenge and completed every one of the 310 tasks this year! I earned the "You're Insane" badge and I couldn't be more proud of myself. The 2024 challenge is out now (and I'll post about it right after this one) - so I hope some of you will sign up and join the fun. There is no correct way to do it and you can read a little or a lot. It's just a twist to something you're all doing anyway.
And of course, thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions for stories and pairings and fandoms and who shared their favourite stories with me. I could not have gotten through this year without you and I’m SO grateful for you. 🥰
My 2023 Stats:
I always slide in first with December numbers before I hit the pie charts for the year... I read 1,773,452 words and 479 chapters in December. Since I'd already finished the Task Challenges, I mostly reread old favourites. I finished off the year rereading Viper Radio by @lucivar - and it was a DELIGHT as usual!
I was unsurprised by the fancy pie chart below. I know I read a LOT of Wenvier - and I reread a lot of Wenvier too. Ha ha. Of the 170 fics I read more than once during the year, only 15 weren't Wenvier. One series by @drollicpixiefanfic - I reread SEVEN TIMES throughout the year. For the Rare and Radiant Maiden is an AMAZING series. You should all read it!
The only "new" pairing I read this year was Ted/Rebecca - and that was because I was so incredibly unsatisfied by the ending of Ted Lasso. Apparently there were a lot of other people also unsatisfied because there has been a LOT of really great fic for them.
My favourite stat of the year was the author stat. Most of the stories I read this year were written by a large variety of different authors. 72% of the authors wrote ten or fewer of the 1209 stories I read… but then that 28% was full of 15 authors who wrote many more than that so I wanted to single them out. All but five of them are Wenvier authors - and I adore every one of them. Extra love to @ozmathegreatand @psychic-refugee @drollicpixiefanfic @donutcats @nevinimus @leftennant @thepointoftheneedle @smc-27 @myztify (and extra love to the Anon Author who wrote three AMAZING Percy/Jenna fics that I read four times each throughout the year. Kudos to you, Anon person. You were amazing this year and I hope we get more Black Keys titled fics from you in 2024)~
Some special favourites this year:
Sweet Nightmares are Made of This (series) by the_retro_witch (Wednesday/Xavier - E - Post Canon) - I remain DEVOTED to this story. It’s huge and awesome and hot and fun and yeah. SO good.
The Trials of Mairon by @jackpotgirl (Galadriel/Halbrand - E - Post Canon) - AMAZING. Finished up this year. Honestly one of the best fics I’ve ever read. Set AFTER Lord of the Rings but references stuff from Rings of Power. Galadriel gets to be Sauron’s judge and jury.
A Solitary Raven by my girl Agmo (seriously - read all of her work It's all amazing). (Wednesday/Xavier - E - Alternative Canon). Agmo really gets Xavier. And she writes this one from the perspective that he isn't going to let Wednesday slide on the "ravens must be alone" bullshit. It's so good. I reread it a lot this year.
Be Kind, Rewind by @ozmathegreatand (Wednesday/Xavier - T - Alternative Canon) --- It's a GROUNDHOG'S DAY CURSE fic! I love timeloops and this one kept me company over and over again this year. I get more out of it each time I read it. It's SO SO good.
Anyway - this is probably enough recs for now but if you every are looking for something interesting to read, hmu. 😘
Thanks for being here, friends.
Have a wonderful 2024!

I read your fics and can I just say I have fallen in love with your writing. You're so good at describing emotions candidly like never for even once does it feel stunted or awkward. You're so good! Thank you so much for writing, it's really brought me so much comfort. And it made me recover from my writer's block too. Hope you're having a good day!! Sending love and good vibes <3
aaaaaa anon this literally made my day when i read it 🥺 that's so incredibly sweet and i really appreciate that you took the time to come to my inbox to let me know i'm 😭🥺💞 thank you soso much it means a lot and it's always so nice to hear my works can have a positive impact on other people, be it as means of escapism/bringing comfort from real life or helping with writer's block too!! that's a hard beast to tackle (trust me i know sksjfshfls) but i'm sending you all the positive writing vibes 🙏
thank you again for this lovely message, i hope you have a great day too 💖

why are people even sending you hate? you're always so cool, and fun to interact with and you've always been sweet to everyone too. you never had to show us your ocs, but you graced us with them. storm shooting erix isn't even a bad thing, storm chose life or death, it shows that storm is willing to do what it takes, he's so empathetic. he shot his own brother to save another life, i get it people may not like that he shot another clone but people need to get a grip and leave blue alone. i'm not even a mutual of blue, i've been lucky enough to interact with them! i love the character it gives storm, talk about the trust issues they have, talk about those messy arcs, post that art, we need to know more about your beloved clone boys. post those thoughts, those headcanons, those blurbs, those interactions, those incorrect quotes, i want people to write fics on your ocs, i want angst and fluff if your boys, i want to know how bear reacts to fives and thorns death. screw the hate anons
Anon, you're gonna kill me :((
Well, basically last night I received an anon asking why storm didn't execute order 66, which really wasn't a big deal it was harmless. Until I mentioned that he shot Erix, i wanted to get it out before I slept. I knew after posting it there was gonna be some negative responses. But I didn't think too much of it. Of course, when I woke up I clearly underestimated the fact that people weren't going to like it. My ocs have received hate in the past, so at first I wasn't too bothered by it. But after I deleted the post, I had some more hate anons, I won't give them the time of day by answering them.
I try to be as easy to interact with as possible, but I know that it's always the case. I'm nice to everyone because they deserve it, I don't expect any of it in return. If I'm making someone happy then I'm doing something right.
I had briefly spoken about some of my clones on a-streakofblue so it wasn't too big of a deal, but those posts aren't worth looking at. I wasn't even that comfortable talking about them on there, but I finally said fuck it let's ramble about my ocs. It mainly took seeing my friends and mutuals rambling about their ocs for me to roll with it. I started off with my Bear headcanon post, and I just continued from there. Everyone has been welcoming of my little guys which was great!
"storm has no empathy." Storm is one of my most loving ocs, he's incredibly empathetic. I get it not everyone will agree with his actions or that I'm coming to his defense. He was literally made as a comfort oc for tcw s7 finale, Storm was never supposed to be anything serious. He originally wasn't apart of my clone project to begin with until I made Irais, they were apart of a battalion that I had made until I scrapped it. Irais was forgotten about, and Storm was made into a 501st oc.
It's still up for debate if I'll change it, I might make it so he only stuns Erix I don't know. But I'm not gonna recycle Storm just because of some hate anons.
The post about Erix's trust issues is just sitting in my drafts I may or may not post it. I'm gonna have to think about it before I post about those arcs, because I genuinely don't want a repeat of today. I will eventually get back into oc content only if people still wanna hear about them. People's opinions matter to me a lot.
I'm not sure who you are anon, but I'm glad you like interacting with me. But, I'm really sorry for this.
All in all, I'm still not sure how to react, ironically I've stated my opinions on hate anons multiple times but yet again here we are. I hope this clears things up.
#i'm not gonna turn anonymous asks off#i know some people might be shy and might not want to say it off anon#sorry this is long#i just needed to get my thoughts out#and especially my response to this#and i'm also sorry to all the people that this might've hurt#i don't know#but overall i'm sorry#blue posts#blue rants#blue answers#blue's anons#blue's asks#from the galaxy#blue's oc rambles#blue's ocs

ello another anon making a list (and you probably know who this is, not a mutual sadly 😔 )
so first things first.
you’re actually like really cool.
so many people look up to you, including me, all because of you just being your big brain self
you’re so real for this, but MIKE WHEELER. you obsess over him (i’m guessing, if you want me to use another term i can) i obsess over him. just look at his dumbass. so precious
let me tell you, the moment i saw your art, i was flabbergasted. i had to like, take a second to appreciate it. just to notice all of the little details- anyways, it was perfection. loved it 100%
your shitposts as well as your actually we thought out posts are truly incredible. love all of your theories and little shitposts about hyperfixations.
i could listen to you hyperfixate all day. about anything, any time.
you deserve literally everything you would like in the world and i wish i could give it to you but i’m broke and a freeloader so i cant :(
i might send another ask adding to this list because i can and i have many reasons as to why you’re amazing.
again, i bet you could probably guess who this is.
just look at some of your off anon asks.
it’ll tell you.
hope you have a great day/night :D
^ real life reaction to this
IM SO SORRY IM NOT SURE WHO YOU ARE im horrific at guessing on anon even With my mutuals 💔 this was very very sweet tho!!! tsym :)
hope you have a great day/night too!!

(anon with the controversial opinions about spencelle, postprison!read, hotch and dating,.. again)
You’re actually so sweet for answering all my yapping!!
I didn’t even realize the low blow for the Aaron one, I‘m so sorry 😭, it might be my tism and not being able to be great at conveying what I mean without sounding mean if you get what I want to say?
anyways I completely agree with your take on writers can take a character and write them in the way they want! On the flip side I still believe there are more canon ways and more fanon ways to write a character, and writing a character ooc to fit a certain idea is ok! Like I know it‘s kind of one of the biggest compliments to get ,,oh you write xyz so in character“ but at the end of the day, as you said, writers should enjoy to write a character as they like!
I just have a slight problem with it if they kind of..complete overwrite certain traits? And not in a way where I send hate or whatever, just in a way of ok this irks me so I‘m either gonna block or simply scroll, while I do believe we should call out writers if they e.g write a lesbian character as a non-lesbian one or an autistic character as an allistic one if that makes sense!
Then again we should not reduce a character to only one of their traits, idk I just think there should be less..shame about not writing a character 100% canon but also on the other hand acknowledging that there is this fanon version
I probably make zero sense and maybe you won’t even get why it‘s so significant to me, it’s just when I‘m hyperfixating on a topic/character it‘s unreasonably frustrating to read about mischaracterization but again I keep it to myself or, like now, tell you about it as a controversial opinion!
But what really shocked me is you not shipping jemily!! Jail time!!! /j
Anyways I was yapping again and thank you actually for taking time out of your day to answer!!
hi babe! I'll forever and ever answer any and all yapping, so no need to thank me🤭💕
well, he is my husband, so it was in fact a low blow, but I'll forgive you this time 🙄 (you didn't sound mean, I promise, I'm just joking around it's all in good fun!)
I do think it's amazing when a writer makes the character seem like he's plucked straight out of the show/movie, by writing him to a complete T because it does allow the reader to feel even more connected to the fic itself.
I'm going to be completely honest here again, and I hope I don't catch any negativity, but as someone who really cannot read autistic traits, most of what's associated with spencer I take as full on personality traits for him without any association. I would actually love it if you shared a bit more about how you see his autistic traits portrayed, or maybe what specifically you associate with. I don't really know how he's been portrayed in my own writing thus far when it comes to those specific traits, I'd love to hear too, what youve noticed.
I think at times it depends a bit on the concept of the idea of the fic itself, if it would be well placed to touch on those traits (I do hope I'm making sense without sounding ignorant or something). like at times, a fic is so fast-paced or incredibly specific, you can't really touch or figure out where the mention of those traits fit.
I absolutely think both should meet in the middle, and there should be a level of understanding when it comes to, like you said, canon and fanon. I find it a little bit entitled at times when I see hate about it, when you take into consideration the amount of spencer fics out there, and how you can find something to satisfy your need/craving, and skip whatever you don't vibe with. I think there's a place for every idea, every fic, every person, and every opinion, but the main thing is to always be polite about it.
jemily...I'm sorry, I really don't see it. maybe in evolution, with the s17 scene, and in "200" when jj is being tortured, but not much else😭😭
and please don't worry about yapping, this blog is always a safe space to do so, or be controversial 🤭

Ohhhh Sam, THANK YOU SO MUCHHH I FEEL SO PROUD this term i was very busy with my auntie bwcause she was visting us (she lives in france and its been 4 years since she last visited) so i was busy with my cousins and trying to show them around before their time is over with us :(
SAM you ARE incredible😭 we work in a pharmacy together (she's a pharmacist, but I work with cosmetics), so yeahhh she's been talking about this whitening cleanser that has some great reviews, and she's not taking care of herself enough because our older siblings are troubles, so the house is full of drama all the damn time😭😡 and I might just try and buy that cleanser for her it'll be hard tho as we're in the same place but I may ask my brother who's working the night shift to get it (yes all my siblings are pharmacists I am the exception)😭
You absolutely seem like a birthday person it's obvious that you really love to gift people and see their smiles since you're always very kind💕 I hope you stay that way! But don't get yourself hurt. My mom says the kindest people get the most hurt :(
So you think the photo session would make her happy? Idk I'm always hesitant😭 I'll have to make a big-girl decision
I'm so happy to know that you're doing better. You deserve that girlie. Your hair seems so soft and fluffy and really healthy, which is awesome! I know I said my hair is a little longer than usual but it's not healthy🙈 lmao I'm a hijabi and spend most of my time out so when I get an opportunity to take care of my hair I do but I think I made my mind a few days ago I was combing my hair and I think long hear suits me. ANYWAYS THAT WAS NOT NEEDED BUT EHH
I just love self-care, so I love to talk about it. I'm not over the fact that I'm a junior, tho. Oh, btw I recently discovered that I have ADHD like.. it's not thar common here, but I had my doubts, but then I saw an interview with two kids one has ADHD and the other does not,I found myself acting like the other girl and it just snapped to me, but then again don't we all have ADHD😭😭
IM IN LOVE WITH FLOWER (I think that's it, right?😭 sorry!) I saw the new update I'll read it right after finishing my ranting session. Have you read any book from the Twisted series? I bought it recently and the first book is taking me ages to finish it, it's not boring but the chapters are heavily written.
Do you have any pets??? I love birds and cats, but I had two birds a few years back, but we were traveling constantly and it was hard to leave th so I gave them to my cousin but I think they run away😭 but! I reaaaally want a little kitten, duh.
Sam thank you so much for helping take care pleaaase🩷🩷🎀
Oh btw a question just popped. Do you ever wonder about the anons? Like their names and stuff, I find MYSELF wondering lol😭 yalla byeee🏃🏻♀️➡️
🎀-anon 🙈
OH WAIT I ALWAYS REMEMBER STUFF AFTER SENDING THE MESSAGE, TOOTHPASTE IS SO DEVINE!!!! I love that she's confident, she can't hold her tongue and it's just so cute that he asked her on a date on that note it was so cute you're always writing cute stuff I don't know if I'll melt from it or the weather

That's so sweet you got to see your family 💕 My family is crazy and I love them but it's never relaxing when they're around. It's nice you got to see them after so long.
That's really cool you work with your family. It's nice! I'm sure your sister will appreciate the cleanser! Especially where it's something you talked about with her. The photo session would be nice too! I think that would be really special as well, so whatever you decide she will love I'm sure 💕
I think unfortunately your mom might be right. I hurt my own feelings more than anything. It's because I want a me in my own life to do what I do for others and it just doesn't happen lol. Shakespeare's got something on how expectation is the root of all heartache. It's very true. But thank you, I'm trying to be better about my self worth and whatnot and lower my expectations hahahahah
My hair is sometimes soft and definitely fluffy. One time I straightened it and my friend couldn't find me in the lunch room. The problem is that like one degree of moisture sets it into a complete frizz. It's looking healthier now but it looked pretty raggedy not too long ago 😂 I really love long hair though so it sounds like you made a good decision!
Idk what I have but I need to be studied 😂 I read a lot about how ADHD and anxiety presents differently in women than in men (naturally) so I probably have one or more diagnoses in my future. It's cool you connected with the person though and recognized similarities in yourself. Even just getting comfortable with the idea of being ADHD or whatever, I think, is an important step in coping and figuring out how to navigate everyday life 😊 Hopefully that makes sense!
I have not read Twisted, but I've heard good things. I'm not sure I want something deep right now though. This tbr shelf of mine is out of control lol.
No pets for me. I'm pretty allergic to pet dander. Cats especially. I'm def more a dog person than a cat person as well. I love all baby animals though, kittens are so sweet!
I WONDER ALL THE TIME ABOUT MY ANONS. I think about everyone's name and where they live. It's really fun to imagine but I wish I could have a huge Harry Styles themed party and hug everyone.
I'm starting to really love toothpaste. I'm glad you liked it 💕
stay cool and don't melt! Much love 💕
xoxo
