#how many tags is too many tags? idk fam

[kaeyachi]

One of the probable reasons as to why Kaeya didn't arrive on time for Crepus and Diluc when they were attacked was because he, and the knights with him, had no vision, and thus, cannot use a teleport waypoint.

Him receiving his cryo vision when he was supposed to get scorched by Diluc was genuinely the biggest slap to the face given to him by Celestia. It arrived just in time to save HIM.

Even now, the vision only heals and shields him alone as a manifestation of his desire to keep living from that fight... but he can't use it to help others.

Is it appropriate to censor out names….. when on extended family group threads? Asking for a friend….

I weezed when you censored blue (I'm a brown eyed truther but censoring things that aren't offensive will never not be funny)

it is one of my favourite bits. funny every time and there are literally no victims

[be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie]

You know what, I want a fic where ikran racing is like a super big thing (think like the Pandoran version of derbies and all that) and is a big part of the culture. Nobody knows what to do with Spider who, being a human, doesn't really stand much of a chance but still seems intent on participating, so they just make him the clan ikran groomer to keep him out of trouble. Enter Neteyam, his best friend Lo'ak's older brother who's on the fast-track to take their father's place as ikran racing champion---or at least he was. Recently he's been having major trouble and things aren't looking good.

Imagine over the next few months Spider, who has like a shit-ton of knowledge about ikrans due to the fact that he's been the caretaker of pretty much all of them since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, helps Neteyam in secret to fix whatever's happening meanwhile they sort of fall in love even though they really shouldn't (for various reasons). Think of all of the themes that could be explored! Think of the angst! Neteyam strikes me as a brooder, so think of all the brooding!

And what's even better? This could also work for all you locorro people out there. Picture, if you will, a Lo'ak who's stuck in the shadow of his father (the greatest ikran racer known to Na'vi) and Neteyam, who seems to be following in the footsteps of their father's greatness. Desperate to prove himself, he comes to Spider for help (let's just say he and his ikran don't really. . . vibe) and Spider agrees despite all of his misgivings and fast-forward through a whole training/bonding/falling in love and finding themselves montage and boom!

How would either of these end? Idk. But man do I want this and if I don't get it I may just have to take matters into my own hands. (For some reason I just dig chill ikran caretaker Spider and high-strung, works himself to the bone to achieve perfection Neteyam or desperate to prove himself despite the fact that both him and his ikran are a mess Lo'ak.)

HOLY FUCK this is my favorite ask of all time. Alright that's it new tag folks: the people need this fic we are begging for it (please explore I have gone back and tagged appropriately).

Hey buddy hey fam I am a huge huge Star Wars fan and you are gonna come in here with your fucking Anakin Skywalker podracing au fic and think I'm not gonna sniff that shit out instantly? Ur crazy dog.

-Spider is like, THE guy for the Omaticaya's ikran care. It's tradition that if you want to participate in ikran racing then you care for ikran for a year before you complete your iknimaya, but Spider has been doing this shit for years longer than anyone else.

-He's like an expert all of them love him, he's like the Hiccup of the Omaticaya he knows all their weak spots, their favorite foods, things they're allergic too, plants that bother them, their favorite places to be scratched: kid could probably ride everyone's ikran even without a rider, but only a select few people have noticed.

-Toruk Makto is the most famous ikran racer because motherfucker rides a toruk. He doesn't participate on toruk anymore after a big legendary competition, and the only person that rivals him is his equally legendary wife (who's better than him it's just toruk that makes Jake better lol)

-Neytiri is as good as she is because unlike a lot of other ikran riders, she does all the care for her ikran alone. It is something she has instilled in her family, but, they are busy. Busy running and leading their clan. So sometimes, Spider steps in. But still the amount of time they dedicate to their ikran compared to others means it's hard not to notice Spider's expertise

-I love the idea of Neytiri being like "yeah no one but me or Spider can touch my ikran, hands off"

-it's a slow build but that equal passion is their connection

-OBSESSED with the idea of the Neteyam and Spider version (getting too many asks about them, we gotta make a ship name poll lol), my bad if I focused heavily on that I might reblog later with the locorro one.

-Neteyam and his ikran bonded but have they bonded. He NEEDS to live up to the level of precision and skill that his parents have with their ikran. Hell, flying is how his parents fell in love! They go on date nights once a week still to fly together, bonded through their love of the sky. He just can't figure out how to translate his thoughts into actions through his ikran. His too wired and anxious all the time, and his ikran's thoughts are always a mile a minute.

-He knows Neytiri only trusts ONE other person to care for her ikran, and that person doesn't have anything to lose either so he goes to Spider and begs him to keep this a secret and to help.

-Without tsaheylu, Spider's bonds with the ikran are formed through a building of trust, care, empathy, and affection through actions. If Neteyam wants to build a bond and he can't trust his mind or his ikran's mind; maybe he can trust actions.

-Oops the bond is formed between Spider and Neteyam too, they slipped and fell into trust, care, and empathy born of actions!

-Neteyam like "how do my parents fall in love flying, flying is stupid and stressful and scary" and then Spider's wrapping his hands around his waist to encourage him to make his movements lighter and he's like 😳

-the jeytiri parallels i'll kill myself frfr

-Lo'ak is still in his year of ikran care pre iknimaya, so he's just around and bitching all the time in the background about how annoying Neteyam is and how perfect he is and Spider is like 😶 yeah he's so perfect 🤭 he's so annoying.

-Kiri has her ikran but would rather die than race, she feels it's inhumane to make the ikran race without asking them first. So she's just bitching the entire time, moping around Neteyam like "why do we have to race, who would even want to?" and Neteyam just REALIZES Spider does.

-He becomes determined to help him be able to race as well. I haven't decided how yet...

Anyways this is how it goes when Spider can:

LONG ASK IM SO SORRY

ok im sorry to enter ur askbox but i cant just contain this to tags and like. you are SOOOO right for liking kermit !!! sad mf. love him. also can i just say- WHY is there NOT more fanfic im SORRY but. if we have so much crackfic of modern presidents or even actual fic/oneshots of other presidents, PLEASE give us TR / TR fam fic !!!! id eat that shit UP. i got so tired of it i published my own tr kiddos fic istg its either anon or on my acc i can find it

and im so confused on why NATM teddy aint got more fics that at least mention the kids OR siblings. sorry this is gonna be a long ask. but really !! like. theres maybe 5(?) max fics ive seen mention them. a few in the Treasured Collection NATM fic series, and maybe one or two loose ones around. im SOOOO close to writing a self indulgent fic for it. again srry for how long this is. but i never come across tr fans. rlly i swear. also so right for liking the muppets (Fozzie my beloved <3)

oh !! and the cartoon network idea??? YES. absolutely. id watch it. 10000%. i think presidential cartoons should exist more, beyond episodes in preexisting shows. itd be so cool!! ive watched possibly every documentary i can find on TR/show that features him (like The Alienist) i need some lighthearted stuff.

finally idk if youre big on reading books or trilogies but if you can id recommend reading Edmund Morris' trilogy on TR if you haven't yet. the final book ending had me crying at 7am december 2022 like 10 times.

p.s the erb rap battle was so silly and im so surprised i saw nobody in the comments mention quentin with the line churchill shot of TR's family dying prematurely. sorry for the length of this ask--and dino au is so cool and i wanna hear all abt it !!

-🦆

OH MY GOSH THIS IS LIKE A DREAM WHEUSHSUWJWKEKWKWKWJNWJWIXJWBWIDJISJEBDISJSISJSIS oooo we should be best friends ooooooo. Also dw about this being too long you are literally one of my favorite people of all time😭‼️🙏

on the Kermit thing: YIPPEEE‼️‼️‼️ finally another Kermit fan😭 the only other recognition he’d get was from some Indiana jones mini series. Id love to write Roosevelt fan fiction but I don’t like posting my stuff on tumblr (usually my fics are for me and my friends⁉️) but ey, maybe I’ll post something🙏

ALSO MUPPET FAN‼️‼️‼️ my favs are Dr. Teeth and Kermit

on the natm thing: YIPPEE- I wanna write about my au so bad cuz I’ve got so many ideas for it especially for Elliot and Theo’s relationship bc their rivalry was so bad it extended into their daughters. Evil Elliott seemed like an awesome concept and what if he dragged Corinne into it??? Wieihdjehsjs

the tv show: OK OK SO I had a HUGE concept of this show. First off: it’s like your avid 2000s sitcom but with art‼️ The Taft’s (and in later seasons, the Wilson’s) are their neighbors and T.R and W.H.T would have silly angry dad neighbor hijinks (and they both hate the Wilsons together), Alice is the popular girl and there was gonna be a whole episode on her affair with William Borah, Kermit is the shy kid that gets into scuffles with Ted jr, Quentin and Archibald are the spoiled younger sibs, Ethel is the neutral younger sister and Edith is the mostly annoyed mom. Also Quentin and Charles Taft are best friends and I’ll prolly write more ideas for it but I do have designs for Kermit, Ethel and Alice:

anyway, you don’t know how excited I got when I saw this in my inbox😭 but yeah I love your stuff man! Pls post more Teddy stuff I thrive off it im literally one of 5 Theodore Roosevelt fans

ALSO IM GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE RAP BATTLE CUZ- I think that line is about most of his family dying fairly young (Theodore sr., Quentin, Elliott etc) and not just his kids but I could be wrong the fandom wiki of erb is so 50/50

[schumigrace]

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS I'M SORRY. thanks for the tag my beloved @formula-red

Are you named after anyone? not specifically I don't think. but we do have a few Grace's in the fam. My dad's nickname for me comes from his mums nickname tho

When was the last time you cried? This morning lol. I cry everyday

Do you have kids? Nope and I don't want them, never have. I have a phobia of pregnancy lol

Do you use sarcasm a lot? constantly lmao

What sports do you play/have you played? Was a competitive swimmer until I was 18, played football for 4 years, and was a showjumper until I broke my spine lol

What's the first thing you notice about other people? Their smile, probably

Scary movies or happy ending? Happy endings, had enough of the horrors™️

Any special talents? uhhhh idk. Many years of yoga as physiotherapy means I've got a headstand down now . If that's a talent ?

Where were you born? Am a monkey hanger. Hartlepool UK lol

What are your hobbies? F1. Hiking, yoga, bass playing, does pickling food count as a hobby? bc I feel like it's all I do

How tall are you? 5'3/161cm

Fave subject in school? Geography<3 probably still would be. Physical Geography > human tho. My dad and auntie both studied geography at uni too so I guess the love of it runs in the family

Dream job? Kind of what I do now, I guess (climate research). I love it and it means the world to me but my current job is too corporate for me, ultimately I'd like to work on my own time I guess

Eye colour? Green

23. Best writing advice for other writers?

24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?

27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?

29. What’s your revision or editing process like?

38. Would you ever write commissions?

39. Share a snippet from a WIP.

72. What order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?

73. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

Okay so I’m not even gonna number these cuz this is a lot 😭.

My creative process is like an on and off switch. Due to ADHD I’ll have an idea for a long time decide to map the story out then procrastinate…for a very long time

TBH I get inspired by other people’s fanart and fanfics.

Now pls don't copy your Auntie Caspian over here but I really just do what ever POV I want to do and feel in the moment if I want to change it I just go back and write it all over again if it's not too late.

If I do receive feed back I feel great! I really enjoy seeing comments and stuff and when I don't I feel fine but kinda overlooked if I'm being honest.

Prep the storyline and lore before anything. If you have all that sorted out you'll be given the liberty to choose what you want in the story or not.

When I have block I just make fanart or make the chapters in my head until I make myself so excited that I want to write again.

Really depends right now I'm doing a DK Fam AU/what if series but IDK what to call it except that (if ya'll have any suggestions pls DM me)

I only have one fic on AO3 so it would be tangled and tts characters lol

One thing that I have noticed( other than always finding a way to add Hispanic/Filipino culture in my fics) is that I tend to be very descriptive about surroundings and how the character feels.

Um I'm fairly new so idk about a lot of genres but all I know right now is that I will never make a story where the main character or any characters that have made it to the end to have a bad ending,if that makes sense. Like I want them to be happy after all the trauma I put them through.

Best advice: to plan things out and to have a draft

Worst advice: that I can't wing it. I do think planning is important but sometimes the best ideas come last minute.

Favorite part of writing: that I can put myself in the characters and what they go through and that I can use it as therapy for myself.

Least favorite: actually writing XD jk but kind of not lol. I also don't like how long editing can be but it's more fun when you can do it with a friend/beta reader yk?

It's long I can tell you that. If I don't have block editing is probably whats taking the longest.

I start with the characters and as I find out who the characters are then I make the plot as I see fit for them and how it can make them stronger and better.

YES ABSOLUTELY!!! I hav this OG story I'm working on and I really want it to be published some day and hopefully that day will be reality!

That I have improved and that I have put a few chapters out.

Depends on what they ask for.

Okay so a small thing I'm doing for my 'What if series' for tts is that I'm making Andrew a good guy and prince of Saporia. and I am also doing a lot of lore for that and giving him an angsty back story.

I'd like to see some Cass and Andrew fanart or some art of the DK cousins which would be Eugene,Cass,Varian and my two OCs Elana and Caspian.

Yah I would re-read fics I haven't because I have a lot to read but I would.

Angsty and wholesome. I wanna try to add a smidge of dark romance but I'm not that good at it so I might practice on that before I publish anything lol.

It's not too long but it can be painful. (if yk yk)

I like them to be honest but not mean when it comes to constructive criticism. and if you have any ideas for the plot or story I honestly would like to hear them out!

YES!!!! I like to respond and see what y'all think. I haven't gotten many but I do like to respond.

How I put a piece of myself in my characters.

It goes back and forth between my OCs and Cass from tts.

How detailed I can be.

I wait until I finish the chapter then I edit.

The lore planning.

She haven't commented ( at least i don't think she has) on a fic but they've helped me brain storm. And it felt nice and cool that I can call her a friend.

If I'm making a second book then yah I like cliffhangers,BUT THEY ARE SO PAINFUL AT THE SAME ASS TIME!!!!

Cass and Andrew scenes,Saporian lore,and Andrew's background. And ofc Erin and Hector moments.

I don't mind prompts.

Look at other people's work.

I'm very enthusiastic,and most of the time others say they can tell lol.

Honestly I don't think I've come across this problem the only thing I have trouble is finding the right words to put the scenes is play.

I write the scenes I'm excited for on paper and then write start to finish on my lap top.

What I think makes me stand out are the characters I create. All of them have either a part of me or have gone through the things I have or are modeled after people in my life.

More rambles under the cut off

You've unlocked the extra rambles! congrats! Im so sorry as this may just be incomprehensible

first of all Hi! Im birdy, 24 years old, a black trans animator from the netherlands. I do da drawing and da makin of da gaymes. I stream on twitch you are always free to reach out to me here in DM's or else on discord The-Nerdy-Birdy#0918 <- JUST BE AWARE I was terrible social anxiety and I may be slow to respond THAT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU Im just silly :3 and have my moments. I promise ya tho I love to talk and ramble.

WITH THAT OUTTA THE WAY MY BOI OH HOW I LOVE HIM SO HE CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT OF A BITCH AND I AM SORRY. HE CAN BE MEAN. ITS JUST A CHARACTER THOUGH BUT IF I EVER GO TOO FAR LET ME KNOW PLEASE I DONT WANNA HURT NOBODY

anyways, quick summary about jackie.

Jackie went through a lot in his living years! going through the 50s to the 80s as a black man in the uk certainly was something! He used to be a genuine sweet and caring kid and now he still cares but hes very jaded by the world. He used to be part of the british black panther party and he has many opinions bout stuff and politics! but he has quited down quite a bit after his embrace.

he has a bit of a shortfuse cuz folk keep threathening him and hurting him so he is quite defensive. sadly he does not have the brains to see yet that he himself also hurts people and he should be a bit nicer to folk sometimes!

He cares tons about his friends and those who he considers fam. he does not enjoy seeing folk get hurt but.... if push comes to shove he will always choose himself. hes all he has. and all he can rely on and nobody is worth destroying himself over. atleast he'd like to think that. he does however often finds himself choosing his friends over himself and he hates it.

EHHHH FASHION WISE. He basically runs a GIANT company called SALMON which both makes ready to wear as haute couture. he is not the sole designer of it al. but he is most well known. he is a bit of a control freak with his company (not much better outside it either) so he will pick up more work than he should resulting in him always stressing about something.

TAG NINE PEOPLE YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER!

favourite colour(s): pink above all else, with gold a close second (third, orange)

favourite flavour(s):  peach, vanilla, azuki

favourite genre(s): comedy, to no one's surprise LOL campy, dark, satirical...i just love comedy. lately i've really been missing the comedy of the late 90s / early aughts? like austin powers or zoolander. anyway, what i believe in most is the importance of comedy in everything. i leave you with a quote from crispin glover c. 2010 that has really stuck with me:

But, I generally don’t try to play comedy for comedy, there’s that adage which I like to follow, play comedy like tragedy and tragedy like comedy. I think in this culture playing comedy like tragedy is pretty well understood, but what doesn’t happen so much is playing tragedy like comedy and a lot of my favorite performances have been actors or actresses that do that, but that’s a rare thing to do. Usually the performances that get Academy Awards are films where tragedy’s played like tragedy and there’s less of a dynamic of range for that. But usually in either case it’s about the character figuring out what the character wants and needs and going after that in the scene.

favourite music: god idk tbh i listen to too many things??? oingo boingo, show tunes, kpop, jpop...a lot of music from the 60s-80s??? wait but i'm so, so, so super attached to eurodance, hi-nrg, and anything that goes hard with synth.

favourite movie(s): my default answer to this is back to the future. ghostbusters is a very, very close second (maybe less than a percentage point of difference). i adore so many movies tho, so to be precise, you'd have to ask my favorite in a particular genre or decade/year or something... 

favourite series: book or movie? either way, i'm not really sure. in terms of books, a series of unfortunate events was highly influential for me, so that might count for something. i'll always adore seinfeld and frasier.

last song: Stray Kids 『CASE 143 -Japanese ver.-』 please PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO i can't stop laughing

last series: i...don't know. with how many shows are getting canceled left and right, there's a strong possibility that any season of anything i've seen lately could be its last...but mob psycho 100, maybe? since the anime is actually properly over now.

last movie: prrrobably del toro's pinocchio

currently reading: bullet train by kōtarō isaka (I NEVER FINISHED IT! I'M A FRAUD)

currently watching: so very many things, but my whole fam is watching TLOU so that's fun.

currently working on: getting ready for work 💀

[avemstella]

Tumblr only just showed me that @ksjundel2003 tagged me with this just now, as technology does. I'll always take the chance to ramble (also thank u for the compliment ahhh :D). These ended up being essays hahahaaaha

1. Three Ships: Uhhh so I'm in a weird place where I'm not actively shipping anything. Like don't get me wrong I still love many ships (I'm a super multi shipper, I have no idea how people dedicate their online everything to one ship) I'm just currently not actively pursuing certain ship tags rn... Hmm hxh's return reminded me of how much I love Leopika, I got into fe3h in this last year and I've read a silly amount of dimiclaude. Also finally got around to getting into mp100 and Terumob is so cute.

Genshin thats what people are here for but if I'm honest while I still am very into the game, I haven't read genshin fic consistently for a while and thats how I interact with shipping the most. Like I love Chili, theres a reason I have plans for that ship, but I haven't read a fic with them in forever (and in the more recent examples it was me searching for found fam harb content). I also adore Kaebedo but same story. I love a lot of genshin ships, many 'contradictory' (love Zhongven as well for example), I just haven't been brainrotting about any of them for a while. God that sounds so morose pfft, its really me just letting my brain take a break and experience other things! Also just know I do think about the final planned Zhongli and Childe scene in this fic (well for the main fic at least) every once in a while and grin like a loon. Hehehe I love it so much and rip its so far away (though also once I get there it'll be right near the end and that thought makes me sad).

Also I think about my fic specific ships a lot too. Sandy and Nella for example have a scene that brings me much amusement in a couple chapters (those 2 always bring me joy). Also I've been recently thinking about the ot3 that's a big old spoiler. There's this angsty but also hopeful romantic scene that's been banging around in my head that I literally can't use in my fic it doesn't work with the timeline. But I love it, maybe an eventual bonus chap. (all I'll say on this ot3 is that at least 1 person is a harb). And taras x any harb that isn't his bro, my favorite running gag I take too seriously. Also Madame Volkov x Tsar, I can't wait to reveal why that ship cracks me up (also weirdly angsty).

uhhh that was way too long of an answer um sorry.

2. First ever ship: God I don't know. Probably amuto from Shugo Chara (I was elementary/middle school, the age gap did not clock as weird then). However my first ship with taste was Soulsilvershipping from pokemon (god we need to bring back that ship name format, so fun). I didn't have fictional crushes the same way most seemed to, however what was close enough was Silver Pokemon my beloved. He spawned my love of grumpy long haired red heads so when I saw Diluc for the first time I remember going fuck I'm gonna love him (and I did haha).

3. Last song: uhhh fun fact I'm not a music person at all. As a child I hated it pfft, while I grew out of that I still have no idea what I'm doing with it. 90% of the music I listen to is from animatics (and back in the day from amvs) or musicals because plot. And u know u find a lot of musicals because of animatics its a cycle. However saying that I was listening to Ricky Montgomery, idk why.

4. Last movie: my parents were like we're watching a movie as a fam and in true Christmas spirit we watched Top Gun Maverick pfft. tbh the movie was fine but not the stunning piece of cinema everyone seemed to be saying... also super military propaganda but we all knew that

5. Currently reading? I'm catching up on the Ascendance of a Bookworm Light Novels (I'm on the last book in part 4 and I have part 5 #1 ready). I've also been really slowly reading through (and got back into after almost a year accidental break) Lout of the Counts Family. Also hunter x hunter (my brain is filled with Sheila theories, despite being the Harbinger found fam fic writer I don't care about the troop lol, just Sheila). I also have some DC comics open in my tabs because I want to watch the newest comicpop back issues episode. Its sort of strange I've been on a reading fan fic break of sorts haha, reading lots of original stuff.

6. Currently watching? uhhhh Mob Psycho though that just ended. Also me and my sis are watching Miraculous together. We used to watch it years ago and we are watching all the stuff we missed and cringing. I also am constantly watching lots of video essays, love a good video essay to put on while doing other things like playing genshin/art/etc

7. Currently consuming? We have a holiday party every year and my dad makes his amazing to die for lasagna (we are not remotely italian, but everyone we know says its amazing). So I've been eating those leftovers and having a time.

8. Currently craving? validation uhhh free time maybe. I had so much free time while I was away at school (well more like I should have been working on stuff time, but it was time I could organize myself). I'm home and between Christmas and parties and my grandparents/Cousins/feels like everyone visiting I've had no time for myself. I love seeing my cute baby cousins I don't get to see too often but its a lot. Also a job, I don't want to have to job but it'll get my mother off my case.

Well that ended on a too serious note haha. Also this was way too long and I have no idea who to tag and I'm anxious so uh, no one I guess. I must now return to my chaotic life, as one does.

[noa-ciharu]

Thanks for the tag ♥️ I'm drowsy af today (courtesy of summer) so I'll try to answer briefly

Are you named after anyone? - not that I know of, parents said they just liked the name

When was the last time you cried? - idk rly since I often wake up with teary eyes due to bad dreams. So I'd say last week maybe

Do you have kids? - no and if I have it my way I'll never will

Do you use sarcasm alot? - moderately, more if I'm pissed off but wont show it

What sports do you play / have you played? - volleyball when I was a kid (around 11). Nothing in last 10 years

What's the first thing that you notice about other people? - idk really, if something stands out (like outfit, haircolor, height, how eccentric they are etc.) I'll notice that first. But overall maybe outfit + hairstyle

Eye color? - brown

Scary movie or happy endings? - scary movie ofc, I personally prefer sad/tragic or open/ambiguous endings over happy ones

Any special talent? - imma add overthinking here too lol other than that I'm a master of 'minding my own business', I lost count of how many bad situations I avoided by keeping opinions to myself

Where were you born? - in some shithole on balkan

What are your hobbies? - girlrotting. Other than that maybe taking care of pets and writing

Do you have any pets? - I personally have 2 birbs and rest of my fam has a dog

How tall are you? - around 171cm, little above average for women here

Fave subject in school? - tough to answer, maybe math and literature analysis (tho it wasn't a subject on its own, I hated rest of class cuz nightmare grammar). I liked to listen to psychology and history lectures but I wanted to throw myself into traffic whenever I had to study them on my own

Tagging @possiblyhomer @gabbylyons @d-lissa and anyone who wants to join

15 questions for 15 mutuals

tagged by @darthdutton, thank you so much for the fun tag game and sorry I took so long to get to it! I’ve been on a much needed social media fast 🙏🏼.

are you named after anyone? No, I don’t think so. I think my dad just didn’t like my almost-name and liked the idea of me being “victorious”. Turns out the only way I’ve lived up to my name is by owning a bunch of dolls, wanting to be treated like a Queen and wanting to meet my Albert.

when was the last time you cried? um. In the shower about a week ago? I had to euthanize my 15 year old dog and I was suddenly struck by the grief of her loss since she’s been in my life for so long. 

do you have kids? I have three kittens.

do you use sarcasm a lot? only all the time.

what sports do you play/have you played?  Anything in physical education class at school. I always sucked at sports and was the last one to get picked when making teams. It was so embarrassing lol. I’m a good skier tho!

what’s the first thing you notice about other people? idk, great question! I’ll pay more attention.

eye color? Dark brown.

scary movies or happy endings? Scary movies! Nothing against happy endings but… they gotta be realistic for me to like them.

any special talents? Overthinking.

where were you born? Wouldn’t you like to know?!!!!!! Even though I was raised in Mexico, I was born in the United States. I am privileged with a USAmerican passport.

what are your hobbies? watching anime, reading, writing, listening to music, dancing,trying out new restaurants/cafes, going on trips ( hate to copy ,but damn we do have the same taste x2)

do you have any pets? More like too many pets. I just euthanized my Min Pin, so now I only have 4 cats and a Border Collie. But I’ll be giving up 2 of the kittens up for adoption and most likely releasing Momo (the mom) once I spay her. 

how tall are you? Wouldn’t you like to know?!!!!! Average height in the US, tall in Mexico.

fave subject in school? Psychology, Math, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistics

dream job? idk because I’ve had amazing jobs where I felt so lucky to get paid to do work that I do but I’ve evolved… it used to be Marketing but I would like to get paid to use my Psychology nerdery next.

Road Trip

(sooOOoo this is my first ever little story headcanon prompt thing that I wrote! the thought just popped into my head- what if Thomas and the Sides went on a road trip?- and I had to get it out before it escaped my mind. It’s just a short bit of fluff + funny shenanigans- hope anybody who reads it likes it!)

word count: 1547 pairings: none cw: none (i think? if there are please let me know!)

--

“GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNIIIING VIETNAAAAAAA-”

“WE LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. IT IS FIVE FIFTEEN IN THE MORNING.”

“Well, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the air mattress.”

Logan rubbed his eyes, slowly sitting up from his place on the couch and glancing at the blurry mess of shapes on the floor in front of him. He groggily reached for his glasses on the side table, putting them on and blinking to find an already-dressed Roman, standing with his hands on his hips, grinning broadly down at the dark lump of blankets Logan could only assume was Virgil.

“The side is not important. It’s the fact that the sun is not out,” came the groan from the blanket mound. Roman rolled his eyes and gently nudged it with his foot, the beaming smile refusing to leave his face.

“Oh, come on, Sleeping Broody! When has the sun ever dictated your morning activity?”

“Anybody else want coffee?” Logan glanced up as Patton slowly ambled into the living room from the kitchen, hiding his yawn behind a steaming mug.

“I’d like some,” Logan replied, stretching.

“Did somebody say coffee?” Thomas stumbled down the stairs, hair sticking up wildly. Roman beamed at his friend, throwing his hands in the air dramatically as Thomas hit the bottom landing.

“IT’S ROAD TRIP TIME! Are you ready, Baby Driver?!”

“Not time yet. Coffee first.” Thomas smiled sleepily but pushed past him, nearly tripping over Virgil, who groaned and threw off the blankets. Logan stepped over his unruly mess and followed Thomas’ lead.

The boys had planned this trip for months now. It was a culmination of Roman’s wild thinking, Logan’s planning, Thomas and Patton’s unbridled enthusiasm and love of company, and Virgil’s agreement that if they didn’t do it now, they would probably get too busy to ever do it in the future (his “ever-present pessi-realism,” as Roman had so eloquently put it, had done little to dampen anybody’s mood and had only encouraged them to plan it as soon as possible). It was one of their last (but definitely not the last) great adventures before they started their senior year of college- the final obstacle before officially assimilating into the real world. Between internships, study abroad, and summer theatre programs, the five had carefully and skillfully managed to block out a full four weeks to take a quasi-cross-country road trip.

Through Logan’s love for excellent and meticulous planning, he had mapped every detail of their trip just short of the best gas stations (Patton had gently pulled the laptop from his hands that night and told him to get some much-needed rest). It involved just enough of everybody’s favorite type of fun- from museum tours to beach hopping to roaming city streets to stargazing and then some- and enough bonding downtime to keep the action and adventure in balance with what could be their last summertime relaxation.

Thomas poured two cups of coffee, handing one to Logan, who accepted it gratefully. He could hear Virgil’s muttered cursing as he clambered to his feet and headed off to get changed, much to Roman’s delight.

“Roman, you’re awfully excited for this,” Thomas commented with a grin. “I thought you’d want a bit more beauty sleep?”

“Oh, please! Who can sleep when I have the best road trip playlist ever planned out for us today?!” Roman whipped out his phone, eyes practically sparkling. “It’s got everything- from classic jams to Broadway tunes to the absolute best of modern radio rages from every genre. You guys are gonna love it. I even included things suited for our own little Brendon Worry here.”

“Honestly, Roman, I am quite impressed that you have yet to run out of insults for Virgil over the years,” Logan remarked. Roman grinned.

“You may be the smart one, but creativity is intelligence having fun.”

“I have fun!” Logan protested.

“Sure you do, Necktie.”

“Your chariot awaits, my good sir!” Roman dramatically flung open the door for Virgil, who glared at his companion before clambering into the backseat. Even though they were all pretty much the same size, Virgil was the leanest- meaning he would be sandwiched between Roman and Thomas for the first leg of the drive. Patton, being one of the safer early-morning drivers, would be accompanied up front by Logan, the most attentive navigator. They were using Roman’s “chariot-” a giant gold ‘06 Ford Expedition- to make the long haul up the eastern coast.

Roman hopped in after Virgil and shut the door, leaning into his friend’s space to grab the aux cord from the front. Patton started up the car as Roman playfully ruffled his hair from behind, and Logan checked everything off his list before they were set.

“Savannah, Georgia, here we come!” Patton sang as they headed out.

“You guys are not ready for this playlist,” Roman babbled excitedly, tapping away on his phone. Virgil groaned internally. Seriously? The sun still wasn’t technically “up” yet- the first red hues were just appearing on the horizon.

Virgil jumped nearly a foot out of his seat as a man’s yelling voice came blasting through the speakers. Roman bounced excitedly in his seat, and Thomas burst out laughing.

“SERIOUSLY, Roman?!” Virgil snarled, glaring over. Roman ignored him, instead joining into the first notes from The Circle of Life. Virgil huffed, pulling his hoodie over his head and jamming his headphones over his ears. This was not going to be a good ride if he had to put up with Sir Sing-A-Lot next to him the entire time.

“Oh, come on, Virgil!” Thomas nudged him gently. “Just sing along to a few of them!”

“Maybe once I actually wake up,” he retorted, sinking down and trying to drown out the most enthusiastic modern barbershop quartet to ever exist. He found himself accidentally mouthing a few of the words and glanced up suspiciously, making sure nobody had seen, before continuing to scroll through his phone. If he saw Logan beam up at Patton, he gave no notice.

Virgil had slowly turned off his own music once he realized Roman’s playlist wasn’t entirely Disney on steroids. He gave Roman a grateful grin when even a few of his favorite songs came on, and he even laughed out loud when they all sang along to Wake Me Up Inside with just as much gusto as they did to Defying Gravity. Roman kept encouraging him to sing, but Virgil- ever the shy one- was slightly embarrassed to do so. He mainly stuck to singing the backup parts and had yet to take over a solo like the others. Even Logan had surprised the others when Zero to Hero had come on- he suddenly sang out the first note with such perfect precision that Roman nearly missed the second Muse’s line.

After the final notes of When Will My Life Begin rang out, there was a quiet beat before a trumpet softly filtered through the speakers. Patton gasped, eyes widening, and Thomas’ face lit up with joy. Logan blinked before his face broke out into a familiar grin. Roman smiled broadly, and Virgil frowned for a second.

“Where it began, I can’t begin to knowin’,” Thomas started off, and it clicked. Virgil rolled his eyes, smiling slightly. Of course. They each began to harmonize as Thomas continued, Virgil even joining in here and there. As they followed the crescendo to the chorus, each one ‘reaching out’ to another, Virgil had an idea and smirked.

“Sweet Caroline-”

“BA- BA- BAAAAAAAA… GOOD TIIIIMES NEVERRRR SEEMED SOOO GOOOOODDDDD-”

The other four were stunned into silence as Virgil practically yelled out the interjection before flawlessly continuing to the next line.

“IIIII’VE BEEN INCLIIINED-BA- BA- BAAAAAAAA…. TO BEEELIEEEVE THERE NEVER WOOUULLLLDDD, but... now I…”

Virgil slowly trailed off as he realized nobody else had been singing and glanced around. They were all just… looking at him. Frozen. Even Patton was glancing away from the road, staring into the rearview mirror with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

“What? Neil Diamond is a classic. Shut up,” he grumbled, sinking into his seat again and flipping his hoodie over his hair.

Silence.

And then-

Thomas snickered quietly. And that was it. The other four were gone.

Roman was doubled over in his seat, tears nearly streaming from his face. Logan had his head in his hands, shoulders shaking as he cracked up. Thomas had his head thrown back in his seat, his deep belly laugh cutting out over the others. Patton had to pull over and rest his head on the steering wheel, his high-pitched giggles proving too much to handle. Virgil stared at them in turn, cheeks blazing.

“He- you- I- you just- BA BA BAAA-” Roman could barely speak, cutting himself off with another howl of laughter. At his repetition of Virgil’s interjection, Thomas and Patton were sent into more peals of giggling.

“That was- the greatest thing- I never-” even Logan could barely speak, wiping his eyes under his glasses. “You just- and I didn’t- my god, that… that was the best thing!”

Virgil glanced at all of them and slowly began to join in until he, too, was doubled over in his seat.

Roman added the song to the playlist again. This was going to be the best road trip.
