[autisticlancemcclain]

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

Silver Week day 8: Happy Birthday!

Pretty much all cards were stacked against me this week, from lack of motivation to getting ill. But I’ve done so much! 7th prompt had to be skipped for the sake of myself, but I’m still so proud of what I’ve managed to do! Thanks for sticking with me to the end 😊

Happy hellgame anniversary, Silver! ^^

Bonus bc alcohol jokes will never be below my standards

Oh? And who’s this 0 polygon titted, unidentified flying maiden?

[wish-upon-the-universe]

Silly gijinka doodle based off an absolutely awful gun image. Be nice to her, it's not her fault she looks like that :(

[procrastinationaccount]

Okay yes. However. Exhibit A:

Not to mention that she is very much not resting there currently, the Tomb never really Alecto's final resting place - even if AtN somehow ended with her back in it, she wouldn't be dead.

Exhibit B:

The Ninth doesn't do coffins - the space Harrow entered at the end of HtN is at the least similar to the ice-lolly-bimbo-free ideal that she visualized herself as before she died. And Gideon's sword is there - already a very strong association with her.

Exhibit C:

Gideon and the preservation thereof is literally more important to her than God and more fundamental to her than the Body (!!!!!!!!!)

Exhibit D:

Especially considering that biblically "received" has a connotation of taking something/one into oneself (ie receiving God's spirit), Harrow being welcomed into the Body's place feels very apt and very deliberate.

TL:DR Gideon is Harrow's one true love.

So this is pertaining to my story Meta Assassins on AO3. Summary to follow so you can have context:

The very franchise we know exists as games within the games themselves and Desmond Miles isn't sure how to feel about this. He owns the first five games and soon Black Flag drops along with a new never-released game. It is there that Desmond meets Altair, Malik, Kadar, Ezio, and Federico. Desmond finds solace in the games given he now works at a gas station and has a crappy boss. While working one day he unknowingly meets Giovanni Auditore who gives him his contact information because he thinks Desmond is hard working and dedicated. Assassin’s Creed: Quadrivium, a MMORPG, drops and that's when he starts to figure things out. He eventually wants to go to Italy to visit Ezio and Federico during the winter holiday, which he does. Currently he is hanging out with Claudia Auditore at the local market.

Eventually I will have Desmond get hurt on the job at the gas station. A wet floor he didn't see, and there was no wet floor sign. He was carrying some heavy product that landed on his chest and left leg pinning him to the ground. His friends find it odd that he doesn't join them that night, but eventually a week goes by before they decide to go to New York to find Desmond. Which is how they discover the poor conditions Desmond has been living in. I am just stuck on how to write the accident scene and the twist of Desmond being fired for having the accident. Typically I have Kadar be the one that kicks them in the pants, cause I like to think he would have studied people's behaviors which would be useful as an assassin, but considering that I now have him dating Claudia, I could have her bugging Federico and Ezio about it since it's very uncharacteristic for Desmond to not answer her for more than a day (he did that once, called her to explain he was exhausted and apologized, he was yawning the entire time which made her realize he works himself to the bone.

Anyway, take your time and get to this when you can. Though I look forward to it, cause honestly I forget what I have asked so it's a nice surprise treat when you answer, like "Oh my Goth I asked that?" Thank you for all these lovely ask and answers. Safety and Peace upon you my friend.

Thank you and upon you as well, friend! Here's the link to the fanfic for those curious: Meta Assassins, please give it a try if you're interested and leave some love :)

If you want to keep it a suspense, one way would be to not write the accident scene at first. Shift the narration to Claudia or Federico or even Ezio and how they haven’t heard about Desmond for a while. Create a mini-mystery of some kind perhaps?

Then when they decided to fly to New York, that’s when the narration shifts back to Desmond. If you’re having problem writing the accident itself, you can set the narration to the same day that they set off to check Desmond and make it something that Desmond internally muses about. Focus the narration on what has happened after he was fired and how he’s holding up. Depending on how long it took for them to decide to fly to America, maybe the timeline was long enough that he needed to sell some things to pay the bills which included his computer and phone. Maybe he had to give up on paying his internet provider to pay the other bills using what he had saved up. Those would be valid reasons why he couldn’t say anything more to his friends.

Now, if you truly want the accident to be a central scene…

Well…

I’ve been clumsy since I was a kid (hence why I had to get a tetanus shot this month) so I can tell you that it might seemed ridiculous but one can do a lot of damage thanks to flailing limbs while ‘sliding’. He doesn’t have to be carrying the heavy product. He could be on his break and leaving the gas station when he skids across the floor and grabbed the first thing he could, which turned out to be the nozzle attached to a nearby car. The nozzle goes flying off the car and still dispensing gas and Desmond smacks his head hard against the car and his head bleeds.

Head bleeding tend to be heavy so they had to call 911 because they freaked out from seeing all the blood.

Of course, Desmond has no health insurance so now he has medical bills to pay for a head injury that he could have probably (probably) treated himself and, when he returned to his work, his boss fires him and tells him he has to pay for the wasted gas. And, because he was on his ‘break’ when it happened, his accident wasn’t covered by his ‘previous’ job (to be fair, Desmond is pretty sure that was just an excuse to not pay him squat).

Hope this helps and, even if you don’t use this, this gives you an idea of how to write this scene :)

(Also, instead of the gas, gas stations usually have convenient stores and you can make Desmond have his accident there where he grabs a shelf to stop his fall, breaks his ankle and crashes lots of merchandises that he has to pay for)

Jumin x MC fluff headcanons

-MC introduces Jumin to video games. He doesn’t get the point of them at first, but MC introduces him to animal crossing and in a very short time he has a town full of cat villagers, with a ridiculous amount of bells. (Seven later shows him his mod villager of Elly, and is instantly forced to deleted her from his game.)

-MC destabilizes Jumin by not wanting luxuries and expensive things. They like the simpler stuff, and at first Jumin is highly uncomfortable about this, because that’s how he’s been taught to show affection.

-MC catches on and reassure him that not wanting those kind of things doesn’t mean they love him any less. They just prefer the strawberry pancakes he makes.

-MC likes to tease Jumin about the fact that he likes to watch them sleep, so sometimes when they wake up first they’ll stare intensely at him, hovering one inch above his face with the silliest face until he wakes up.

-Elizabeth the 3rd gets attached to MC really quickly, and the feeling is mutual. Jumin will sometimes whine about how he feels like a third wheel.

-Jumin needs a lot of reassurance and gets easily jealous. When MC realizes he’s in that bad headspace, they’ll shower him with kisses and cling to him like there’s no tomorrow, until he feels better.

wrote a whole long post that didn't make sense because i'm a fic writer not a meta writer and the point comes down to this: sand and ray are both Such Bad Liars

they have honest faces. nobody, in-universe or in the audience, is ever really fooled when they pretend things are other than they are.

when sand is hurt you can tell, it's in every line of his body. ray is expressive and straightforward but hides his hurt a little better, not because he's better at lying but because the hurt hardly ever goes away.

ray can see sand freezing up and looking upset when he's called a friend or not prioritized, he can see the lie, but it doesn't matter compared to what sand's actually saying and what it'll mean if it's (not) true. he's gotten a lesson recently about pushing. and sand, i think, can see ray caring but he can't imagine it could be enough, that he could matter the most or be a priority. when ray calls sand a whore it's the only lie he told that night and sand knows it

when they hurt each other sand lies and pulls away and ray can tell, and similarly ray lies and pulls away and sand can tell, and theyre stuck in limbo because of it. awful. hate it. 10000 more just like it please

Since I had someone follow me just now I would like to make a quick note:

I may not be otherkin/therian or even fully understand it, but I do support y'all! My best friend is a velociraptor and I love them very very much, even if I don't understand what it means to feel like you're something other than human

[trainingdummyrabbit]

maybe we'll try again next time.

can i come out and say that i ship wanda and angela 😔😔 i just think itd be rlly funny

YOU AND ME 🫶 WE'RE TWININGGG yes oh absolutely they are!!!! unironically speaking cuzI can just imagine how it goes with them like think of it as a one-sided crush thingwhere wamda crushes hard for angela nd would sometimes drop by to their apartment to give her random gifts (shes probably the type to give her smth cheesy like gift cards or coupons but hey SHES TRYING!!) (also the idea might've also been a suggestion from cosmo) (yes hes aware of her little crush and he does not mind cuz he trusts wanda that way🥹)

id like to also think of how everytime the Cosma's would get invited by the Wells family over for dinner, Wanda would alwyas dress fancy nd smell nice Maybe hair oiling wearimg a tuxedo (one she got from like two episodes ago)as a way to impress angela ANDD HEAR ME OUT at every interactions they had , Wanda would intentionally/unintentionally praise or compliment her and angela would just laugh it off and thought nothing of it thinking that was just apart of a woman with woman talk Wanda would be so anxious around her even to the point she fainted and she will still not suspect a thing ahahsgsahahhaahahhahahaaaha,,,,

sometimes it drives me literally insane to see romance requests that are like

--I want a romance wherein it's basically the happy epilogue throughout the book

--I want a romance that has great communication and they never withhold anything from each other ever

--no "miscommunication trope"

The last thing is just a general gripe about how so many of the things people say are tropes are not tropes, and it's pedantic and snobby but like. Miscommunication is so broad. It's not a trope. People are miscommunicating. WHAT are they miscommunicating about? Is one of them keeping a secret identity from their partner? Because a secret identity romance iS a trope. Is one of them withholding their feelings out of fear of rejection?

Because people DO miscommunicate. Often writers do write it clumsily. If people miscommunicate for no reason, sure, whatever. But if they miscommunicate BECAUSE of a REASON--like, often it's not even miscommunication lol. It's the hero keeping his dire supernatural secret from his wife because she'll die if she finds out (honestly, valid to me, but whatever). It's the heroine finding it difficult to trust the hero with her heart because her dad left when she was young (maybe cliche in theory, but actually a very real thing that happens).

If all you want is plotless nothing wherein everyone is happy and nobody makes mistakes, I personally have a hard time thinking of it as a book, because there is no story. It's just vibes. And essentially EVERY time, people have to mess up and make mistakes in order for there to be a plot.

I just don't understand the point.
