Accident

Kyra Cooney-Cross x Gorry!Reader

Summary: It wasn't planned

You were the best mistake Kyra ever made.

It was a complete accident when she kissed you, tripping in the crowded pub and smashing her lips against yours.

You giggled at the horrified look on her face when you helped her to stand, one of your hands still holding her waist. "Usually someone has to buy me a drink before kissing me."

You didn't yell at her or scream or punch her in the face so Kyra took it as a win even though her insides were twisting in horror and her face burned red.

"I can still buy you that drink?" Was what she offered in return.

"Sounds good."

Your love affair begun in that moment.

Kyra counted herself lucky that she managed to find the only other Aussie in London who wasn't attached to a football team. She also counted herself lucky that you avoided football like the plague.

Ever since the World Cup, the attention she was receiving was just a tad too excessive so it was nice to sit with you at home and relax, to not be Kyra Cooney-Cross the midfielder but just Kyra, your girlfriend.

"My sister plays," You said one evening as you swiped a chip off her plate," That's probably why I avoid it. Call me childish but I can't be into the same things my sister's into. It would make me seem like a very bad little sister."

"Or a good one, from her perspective," Kyra laughed.

"It's not that me and Kat aren't friends," You said," It's just we're very separate in our interests. I never really enjoyed being compared to her."

"And so you avoided football?" Kyra quirked a brow. "All football?"

"Well, clearly not all football," You replied, leaning forward to capture Kyra's soft lips with your own," Not yours."

Kyra drew away with a cocky smirk. "Of course not mine. You're my wag."

You rolled your eyes. "Whatever."

Domesticity with you was easy, Kyra found. It was completely stereotypical to move in after three dates but she was a big believer in if you know you know.

And Kyra knew.

So, she moved in with you.

You did the chores around each other. If you did the laundry then she did the dishes. If you hoovered then she polished. It was easier than ever before and Kyra settled easily into life with you.

"My sister's moving to London," You said one evening as you lay in bed together," Would you like to meet her?"

Kyra, who had been drawing absent patterns on your arm, froze. You didn't speak much about your sister just that she lived in Sweden with your niece and her fiancée. It was clear that you had a close relationship from the few times that you spoke about her.

Kyra's throat bobbed a little bit in worry.

You were her first proper girlfriend (and she was yours). She just knew that she had to make a good impression.

"You don't have to," You said when you noticed her silence," It was just an idea."

"No! No...I'd love to meet her."

"She'll love you, Kyra. I promise."

The week running up to meeting your sister was full of worry and anticipation. Kyra wrote out a script in her notes app about conversation starters and things to say about herself that would make her seem like the best possible partner for you.

She didn't want to leave anything up to chance with this. Not with you and not with your sister.

Kyra paced outside of the café where you agreed to meet her, wiping off her sweaty hands and muttering under her breath about how best to introduce herself.

"Kyra?" A familiar voice from behind said," Is something wrong?"

"Mini!" Kyra exclaimed," What are you doing here?"

"I'm meeting my sister soon," Mini said," She's meant to be telling me some big news. What about you? This is pretty far from St Albans, isn't it?"

Kyra laughed awkwardly. "I'm meeting my girlfriend's sister today. I want to make a good impression. I don't want her to kill me or something for knocking around with her little sister."

Mini laughed, clapping Kyra on the back. "Don't be stupid, Kyra," She said," You're the best girlfriend anyone can ask for. No one's going to want to kill you."

A blur appeared around the corner and you wedged yourself between the two of them, throwing your arms around both of them. "Kat! Kyra! You ruined the surprise! We were meant to tell her together!"

Kyra looked between you and Mini.

Mini looked between you and Kyra.

"She's your sister?!"

"You're dating Kyra?!"

You looked between them. "Do you two know each other?"

Kyra watched as Mini's eyes narrowed.

"I take back what I said," Mini said," I'm going to kill you."

Some of my favorite writing tools

Just Write: a website, or an app you can download. My favorite thing about Just Write is it only lets you backspace a few spaces. So if you need that motivation to just KEEP writing, to not edit until you're done, Just Write is perfect. It's just text, limited backspace, no distractions. You can copy-paste text when you're done writing or download it as a txt file. I usually type // after I make an error that I want to edit later, since there's limited backspace. I bookmarked this on my phone's Home screen, so it looks like an 'app' and I can just click to open the site.

My Noise: this is a website and app too, I just use the website version. Like with Just Write, I bookmarked this website to my phone's Home screen so I can just click to open the site. It has a ton of sounds you can play, I find many of them help with focus: there's classical music, the sound of water, white noise, adhd focus sounds, coffee shop ambience, binaural beats, tinnitus relief, Dark Dungeon (noises of fictional settings), and all of their sounds are customizable. I usually use Irish Coast or 88 Keys just because the sounds of water and pianos tend to help me focus most. There's a ton of sound options on here. Good for if you haven't already made a focus-music playlist, or if making such a playlist would distract you from writing, or if you just need to pull up a noise quickly.

Lite Writer: an app. I write on my phone a lot, so this is the app I organize everything in. It lets you import fonts, so I can use a font that's difficult to read (to prevent myself from going back and editing/re-reading while writing), and then use an easy to read font when I edit. It has customizable colors (I just use regular dark mode). It lets you make project folders, and then txt files inside each project folder, and number the chapter txt files so they're listed in order. It lets you export project folders as txt files (or other types of files), so I can write a book chapter by chapter in 1 project folder, then export the whole book to edit in a different program. It lets you upload cover images for each project folder (which visually helps me), it's layout is very minimalist (which helps me focus - I get distracted so easily I can't write in something like Google Docs because there's too many non-writing-area things to look at). It also counts how many words you've written each week/month, and in which project and which individual txt file. So you can see how many total words are in a project folder, what the individual chapter word counts are, and how many words you've written total. The app also lets you search for a word within an individual text file or a whole project folder, so if I change a character's name (for example from Varric to Varris) I can just use the search tool to search 'Varric' in my entire story, and then use the replace tool to put 'Varris'. I know you can do this easily in a Word processor program on a computer, but it's nice to be able to do it in Lite Writer while all my chapter files are still separate txt files. Lite Writer also lets you set up an auto backup to locations of your choice, and auto saves, so you can get backups of everything you wrote in multiple places even if you're not actively remembering to back up your writing regularly. The app is free, I believe I paid a one time fee so that I could use a few optional features (like text to speech audio file export, more visual options), but it was a ONE time fee. I paid once for additional features (I think maybe 5 dollars) and then never had to pay again. Which is worth noting, since I hate monthly subscription models. I think the app is useful if you write on your phone or a tablet, not so useful if you don't. I use the app for pasting in writing I've done online (on Just Write) so that all my writing is saved in one central place, and to re-order chapters, to add story notes within the project folder, so for organizational purposes. It's my favorite organizational writing app for the phone.

SUNNY . I AM NOT COHERENT WNOUGH TO WRITE A COMMENT ON SH20 SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO YELL AT YOU HERE!!!!!

my ass is sat at the fuckinf doctor’s, who is now running an hour late, and i am genuinely dead. they should cancel my appointment the way i am fucking deceased. i know the SH verse is vast and continuous but knowing this particular story ends is so bittersweet to me. thank u for writing!!! the story means soooo much to me 🫶🫶🫶🫶

ending it made me sad too 😭 like. I can't believe I finished it? Search History was the first. First fic in the series and my first fic on ao3. (having SH as my debut fic is kind of a wild stat tbh)

for it to get as large as it did, and the way it helped me really learn and engage with the community has been crazy. I made a tumblr account because of that fic, lol. it pulled me out of a writers block I'd been struggling with for years. it also helped remind me (and still does) that I can have hobbies outside of school, which is a struggle sometimes with just how much time I have to spend on academics.

there's also something to be said for the way Search History literally started out as these tiny, bite sized paragraphs in my notes app. I wasn't intending to post it at all- like most things I've written over the years, I was just going to jot it down and then let it rot while I forgot about it. I can't even remember what made me decide to post it to AO3, honestly. I'm very, very glad I did 🤍

there's been quite a few people who have commented on Search History that it helped them- in a small way or large way, or that they could relate to Max and follow his healing journey. writing out how healing and recovery isn't linear was extremely important to me while I was working on it :)

I've talked about it somewhere on the blog before, but I wrote several pieces of Max modeled after my own personal experiences. it was cathartic for me to write- but the hard part was when Max reached a point in SH where he was further along in his journey to healing than I am currently. so it's somewhere around chapter 14 where I had to go from writing based off my own experiences, to trying to write a blueprint for what I think or hope that healing will look like.

I'm honored for everyone that's read Search History and had it touch some part of their lives, and I'm giving the biggest hug to everyone who read it and really connected with Max, especially at the beginning. things get better 🫶

❝ never the same love twice ❞

pairing: suguru geto x reader cw: angst lol, not really canon compliant idk it's kinda vague and i didn't think too hard about the logistics a/n: this may or may not be a note copied straight directly 100% from my notes app

The last time you spoke to Suguru was well over three years ago. One last text message on a rainy autumn Friday night. One last message before the storm began to clear and brighter days found their way into your life.

It had been three years since you spoke to him, but he remained a constant in your mind, an unshakable, sturdy tree that had dug its roots deep into the crevices of your soul. So when you opened your notes app and created a new note in your folder of other letters you'll never send to him, you felt those roots bury themselves a bit deeper.

Hey, Suguru,

As of today, October 8, it will now have been essentially 3 years since the last text I sent you. Do you remember that? I was fighting with my best friend and coincidentally, so were you. I was depressed and well... so were you. Funny how we were still on the same page like that huh?

Boy, do I have a lot to catch you up on. First, I saw my ex last night. I can't believe I used to still feel butterflies around him even after he cheated on me with like four other people. I don't remember when I stopped feeling them, but likely I have you to thank for that.

But now it makes me wonder... how long will it be before I stop feeling those butterflies around you?

There are a lot of days where I find myself missing you, finding myself wanting to tell you about my day and then knowing exactly what you'd say if I could, and then I laugh until I feel empty again. Honestly, that's what I have my notes app for, I guess -- for imaginary conversations with a version of you that will only exist here.

That's actually why I even wrote this... but honestly, I forgot what else I had to say. It's like I had so much to say, but when I start writing to you I kind of feel like I am talking to you and I don't want to waste time before you fade away again.

I know I've moved on, but sometimes I feel like I never left and I wish you were here again. Thanks for taking on that mission from Yaga that I didn't want to take. Part of me wanted to believe that you took it so readily because it was me who asked... but I know that's not the case.

Most people don't want to remember their exes, but when I remember you, it feels like a warm hug. It's like wrapping your hands around a mug of coffee and suddenly your fingers don't feel so stiff anymore. It feels like rest... and I miss you.

I don't know where this was going. But suddenly I remembered this quote...

"There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice."

Honestly, I hate the idea of that, because I loved the way you loved me... but maybe there's something better out there for me?

Do you think you could let me go so I can find it?

Maybe one day I'll stop looking for you in every person I meet.With all the love in the world and more,your best friend. always.

ive really been loving the pacing of your story and i enjoy the concept and the bits that have been released about the plot! youre doing really well, and i admire it greatly!!

ive been having trouble figuring out an overall plot in my own work, i just have character ideas and the vaguest idea for a storyline. i try to just write but then i usually end up taking a break (re: dumping it) because i don't have anymore ideas for how to complete the plot. i've laso been curious about how you go about writing for a comic (do you write then do thumbnails? do thumbnails then go back to figure out dialogue? a third thing?) so i was wondering if you had any advice or resource tips for writing? both for comics and for overarching plots, if that's okay

if you don't have any ideas tho, no worries. i was just curious. good luck with Felt World! i love everything that's coming out so far, thank you for gifting us it!!

Oh thank you so much!! I can't say I'm a comic book artist at heart because I really don't have much experience, I was only an illustrator for a short while and never wrote anything myself, but learning from past mistakes (i.e. I don't stick to plans), I've so far done this and it seems to work:

I'm one of those that don't like to plan strict layouts for the entire thing, because chances are I will not stick to it, so what I've done for felt world is just write a sketch for the overarching plot, the b-plot and c-plot, with rough estimates in what order I want the major plot points and settings to be. My current sketch looks like this;

(which is done in Miro) and as you can see there aren't that many plot points, because I want to have the wiggle room to come up with something on the spot. And also, my comic focuses a lot on interpersonal relationships, character development, and themes rather than the plot, which means it needs to be concise or else the comic is gonna take 6 million years to finish.

And now,, I think this might just be how I work, but I think it's easier to be creative when you have strict restrictions rather than all the choices in the world.

for me, personally, I restrict an update of 10 pages tops, because instagram only allows max 10 images per post! This means I have to 1) fit all I want to say in 10 pages, 2) it has to be concise or else I infodump on readers, and 3) I have to answer some sort of question within the update, or else I said nothing and I start over.

As for scripts, I tend to write one or two sentences of what's going to happen for the update, and then I get to thumb-nailing and sketching right away! I come up with most of the dialogue on the spot too.

And also, I think what's most important, is that you take your damn time! If you aren't immersing yourself in your own world, how do you expect your readers to do the same?

I'm very much a believer that the stories you are telling are something that comes to you naturally if you just sit with it and listen rather than demand that it makes itself known to you. When I brainstorm for felt world I quite literally sit in my bed and go "omg!! And then what? :0" TO MYSELF LMAO as if I'm not making everything up myself! I think that's extremely important that your story is engaging to you first and foremost!

And as for more practical tips

carry a notebook with you or use your notes app AS SOON as you get ideas to write them down! No you will not remember, lol.

set rules of what you're not allowed to do with your story so that you don't fall into lazy trope territory! You can do that when you brain storm, but finesse the story post brainstorm to just make it.. smarter.. if that makes sens For example, don't kill your gay characters, don't make sensitive men the butt of the joke, don't make your women fight over men (unless it's the point), etc.

set physical restrictions! For example, max amount of pages per upload, max amount of pages for the whole story, max amount of characters, etc.! That literally forces you to problem solve, which by definition is creativity! Like, oh you can't do this the obvious way? Do it the creative way! That's way more fun!

I could probably go on, but this is too long already! But I hope it at least helped somewhat!

[squarebracket-trickster]

Sorry guys, rant incoming. I considered deleting this but I put too much effort in.

"girlboss" "girl dinner" "girl math" "boy math" "gen z are making fun of us for wearing x" "here's how to dress like gen z:" "girlies" "girl's night" "boy's night" "me and the boys" "90s kid"

"I don't feel like an adult" "I'm 34 and I can tell you, I still don't feel like an adult either." "My parents seemed like real adults when they were my age." "I still feel like a teenager."

Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you started calling yourself one. Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you stopped trying to dress like a teenager. Maybe you should move your bed out from the wall and get a wallet. Maybe find a calendar app that works for you.

You are an adult. Even if you live with your parents. Even if you do part-time shift work at minimum wage. Even if you haven't graduated college. Even if you are single. These are adult things to do. Because you are doing them. And you are an adult. Start treating yourself like an adult. Fake it 'till you make it if you have to.

In other, writing-related, news:

That trend on TikTok of 20-40 something women authors (and writers yet to be published) promoting their books like,

"Omg! I can't believe I've sold X number of copies!! I never thought I would!" "Ahhhh imagine publishing your book and all your dreams come true and now you get to meet famous authors and work with big names in the industry!!" "Would you read a book where [proceeds to list a bunch of oversaturated tropes that tell me nothing about the actual plot]?"

It reeks of infantilization. If you didn't believe anyone would want to read your book, why should I? You made it on the NYT bestseller list! Stop acting like a mega-fan who got to meet a celebrity. You are their peer! "Would you read a book--" What if I wouldn't? Why does it matter to you what I think of your book? And for the love of god stop hiding behind tropes you know are already popular. "Here is my book: This is what it is about." Have some goddamn confidence.

It is fine to mention in passing "this idea was really far-fetched so I didn't know if it would appeal" or "I was struggling with self-esteem when I wrote this". It's fine to fan a little bit. It's fine to discuss the tropes in your book. But why are you building your brand as an author off of your inferiority complex? You are using your poor self-esteem as a marketing tactic to seem "humble" and "relatable" but it's coming across as unprofessional and desperate for reassurance. You are an adult. You are competent. The more you act like it the more you will believe it.

And of course, I haven't seen a man promote his book this way...

On another note, do any of the 20-40 something women writers who do "write with me" videos on TikTok actually enjoy writing or are they just doing it for the aesthetic?

They all have gorgeous minimalism writing spaces full of white and pink and a macbook beneath a window. Their makeup is done and they are conventionally pretty to start with. But their entire video is just them talking about how little progress they made, how many pages they deleted, how often they got distracted, how frustrated they are. And like, yeah. We all have those days. But what about the good lines you can't wait to share? The days when the words just flow? The cool stuff you learned while researching? Why don't you ever make videos about that?

Is this some other attempt to seem "relatable" by only talking about the "bad" side of writing? Because again, it's coming across as lacking confidence at best and, at worst, that you don't actually know how to write. And that is not the brand you want as an author.

Again, its always women. Why must women market their self-esteem issues in order to sell their art? Why must we be perpetually awestruck children (girlies, book girls) in over our heads?

MASTERLIST! – JOIN THE TAGLIST!

MINJAE ☆

Hes not even surprised atp, he knows how smart you are

But boy does he pretend to be shocked, his hand covering his mouth as he takes in another gasp

But his other hand is hiding behind his back

You seem to notice and the only thing he can do is giggle, revealing an neatly folded box

Turns out there was a very pretty necklace inside, minjae spinning you around to put it on you, whispering in your ear how pretty you look and how proud he is ♡

JUNMIN ☆

Makes sure you do nothing for the rest of the week

So what if its monday?? He'll do anything for his precious baby since you worked so hardd

Will make your meals and clean the kitchen, your room, your study area

Even gives you a bath

And he wont stop either, that is, if you want cuddles ♡

SUMIN ☆

Sumin knew how stressed out you'd get with your exams so he prepared you a little smth!!

(And also some tissues)

Finally uncovering your eyes, you find a self portrait of yourself studying

And lemme just say how beautiful you look

The lines sketched with such care and patients, now you know why sumin had been smiling so much lately ♡

JINSIK ☆

I think this calls for pizza!! 🗣🗣‼‼

Also makes sure you do nothing. All you gotta do is just there and look pretty and that was already took no effort

Also a movie night because why not, and you've been meaning to catch up on some movies, also why not??

His arm wrapped your shoulder at all times, and will whine if you try to move around

Plus random cheek kisses, yeah, thats about it ♡

HYUNWOO ☆

Decides to buy tickets last minute and takes you to the fair!!

Lots of hand holding and pda, wiping some off the cinnamon off of your lips caused by your churros

Will attempt to get you those huge teddy bears, but sulks when he cant so you just gotta give him some kisses

Also the ferris wheel!!

Makes sure youre at the tippy top then he processed to tell you how proud his is and how special you mean to him, sealing it with a kiss ♡

JUNGHOON ☆

Yall know junghoon isnt that big on physical affection

But when he hears the news hes a changed man

His eyes shot open and his hands moving faster than his brain, picking you up and spinning you around when he gives you the biggest kiss on your cheek

Wait whaat??

Wdym he did that no he didnt stop being so delusional he didnt kiss your cheek and secretly enjoyed it but not enjoying your teasings rn shut up 🙄 ♡

SEEUN ☆

"Really?! I thought you failed!!"

His response earned him a huge punch

But hes only joking, ruffling your hair before dialing his phone, calling everyone and their mom to tell the news

Man does more than just spill the tea, he makes it from scratch

Hes overally dramatic when he tells your adventure, saying how you had to cross 7 seas just to find the right answer.. but you love him anyways 🤷‍♀️ ♡

YUJUN ☆

Hes wants to hear all about it, so spill the tea 😠😠

Another one to think you taking a test was so dramatic, having to slay a dragon just to get the right answer to a question

And boy is he listening!! (He listens to you more than minjae)

He'd be so awestruck when youre done, his jaw lefted open and hes looking at you with sparkly eyes

Hes so proud of you too :(( ♡

HUNTER ☆

Also think hes like minjae with the gift giving, pulling out this beautiful bracelet he bought months ahead of time because he knew you'd do well

But unlike minjae, he takes you out to dinner!!

Yes, a big, fancy dinner. And hes paying for it all by himself <3

Hunters prince agenda omgomg

No bc he'd drop down on his knees to kiss the back of your hand, making sure to look up at you in the process, opens every. Since. Door in sight and also pushes you into your chair. Andd he also leans against the table to wipe something off the corner of your lips, giggling to himself bc youre just so adorable. i could write a whole fic honestly... ♡

YECHAN ☆

You passed your exam? Give him a hug

You got an A?? Give him a hug

You thought you were going to fail? Frowns at you, before hugging you tightly

Spends the rest of the day giving you so much love, youre only allowed to be in his arms

And is the boy so soft??? The most gentle hes ever been ♡

[captain-hawks]

HIIIIIIIIIIII im so glad you liked my ask about poly!olisae & spanish pick up lines (that was the first time I have ever sent in an ask on this app so your response made me giddy (part of my new years resolution to be more active/give back in fandom spaces))

Anywhooo i do have another concept of poly!olisae but it has a long set up so I'll send that in some time later (hee hee)

BUTTTT to not leave you hanging here is shorter concept (*note nvm i got too into it, it's long as fuck and very minimal editing bc i just wrote it as i went but enjoy 🫶)

Oliver on a double date with Sendo at an amusement park. It was going well enough (would be better if it was a waterpark but alas it's autumn). Winning a teddy bear from the high striker game (the one where u hit the bell by slamming a hammer) for his date (he definitely flexed before hitting it), Sendo pretending he isn't scared of rollercoasters, his date clinging onto him during the haunted house, yelling at the scammer at the ball toss.

That is until he sees you, an old "hook up" of his. Back when he wasn't as much of a super star and his dating life was even messier than it is now. When he wasn't as good at cutting things off when things got too "personal". A time he was stupid enough to believe if he tried it could last.

And he did try, you were his longest relationship. However when things got a bit rough he bounced. I mean why spoil something sweet by ending it on a sour note? It was better to leave no note at all. He is smart enough to know he was too stupid to do anything about it back.

And well, he must be really fucking stupid because here you are standing next to a fucking petzel stand, with a kid.

Now listen, he may have borderline flunked mathematics but he could do basic addition. Like that fact the kid looks about the same age as when he ghosted you (and how you + him = three?).

He looks so much like you, the hair color, the eyes, and the facial features he caught before you two turned to order. And really he's glad, hopes the kid doesn't take after him at all. But still. Fuck. He always knew with the amount he gets around that it's not unlikely he would ever have a kid but he didn't expect you to be the mother.

"Capt you good man?"

He looks back to Sendo and their dates (why did he have to witness this while on a date? He was supposed to have fun and relax after the stressful season). He didn't do as good of a job as he could have but he put on an easy smile and stood a bit straighter (like he didn't want to bolt to you, like he hadn't seen a ghost or rather the opposite bc you two made a life together).

"Yeah, I'm all good."

"Let's go to the ferris wheel then!" His date (fuck he can't remember her name, how can he when he's remembering everything about you?) said while holding his arm.

"Okay." He looks back to you but you're already gone.

It was only days later did he see you again. It wasn't a coincidence because he had spent what should be his off season to relax feverishly looking for you, instagram, ur mom's facebook, even linkedin. And well he didn't want to just show up to your workplace but he didn't know what else to do. His thoughts racing about fatherhood. He liked the idea but it's so different than being a mentor or a captain. This well, doesn't necessarily make him regret leaving because he wouldn't have been a good father. Maybe he still wouldn't now but ...

When he walked in he found you instantly, instinctively. You look so much the same yet older. Which should be fucking obvious but you have a glow about you, one you get from living life and flourishing. Said glow instantaneous dims when you see him, recognize him. How could you not? When he left it was an absolute shitshow for you. Without a word, no last message, no note. It was only when you saw him on TV did things break into place. He was alive and well, but left you behind. After the catastrophic episode you had of eating ice cream, binging reality tv, and screaming in karaoke rooms you got over it, life moves forward. You had cut out what remained of him in your life with a surgeon's precision and just tried to wish him well on his career, his dream, as you tried to live yours.

"Hey Meg I'm gonna take my break right now." You say as you don't remove your eyes on him. Like pins in a taxidermy butterfly. You don't say anything as you walk past him into the alley next door as he silently follows.

He still as silent when you take out a cigarette and light. If you're gonna have to deal with him you're would need something stronger but you're on the clock.

"What," you ask as you exhale in his face (petty i know)

"When did you start smoking?"

"Since when did you care about my health?"

"Since you became a mother." You freeze because where the fuck did he get this type of attitude?

"Excuse me?"

"He looks a lot like you which is for the better really." He paused, he felt so out of his element like he was grasping for straws to turn into gold. "Were you ever gonna tell me?" It was selfish of him to expect you to reach out when he was the one that left without a trace (maybe he wouldn't even have responded if you did).

He expected you to maybe freeze again, or scream at him to stay away from you and your son and how he has no right but all you do is laugh. Laugh in a way that doesn't fit how he remembers you, softer and sweet. No this laugh it's the kind a devil would have at a human's self fulfilling misery. It's big and hallow, you might even be crying.

"You saying we had a fucking kid? You ghosting me may have hurt but don't flatter yourself into thinking it caused me to black out for nine months and give birth." You really should have skipped work today you think as you take another drag.

"I saw you. At the amusement park with him." Now this caused you to sober for a moment. A bit of clarity in this absurd feverish day. Only for you to laugh harder. You hunch forward, bellowing with laughter and almost burn your thigh with your cigarette.

Oliver stands there what feels like an uncomfortable forever as he waits until you stop. Really he doesn't know what the fuck to do because he was already lost before seeing you and you might as well have put him in a labyrinth now.

You slow down as you try to catch your breath but start laughing again because this shit is so fucking insane. It's probably minutes when you can even attempt to speak without being interrupted by your own laugh. You try to take another drag of your cigarette before realizes it's out and stomp on it while clearing your throat.

"The kid you saw with me," you stare directly up into his eyes while you still try not to laugh, your eyes watering again. "That was my nephew."

Oh. Oh.

Oliver was gonna die. He was gonna have a stroke from all the partying and being hit back to back with the realization he was a father and he actually isn't.

"You even went to his baby shower with me y'know."

He sort of remembers going to that. It was near the end of your relationship, he must have already been checked out by then. Yet he vaguely remembers seeing you so excited then, like it would be something you two would do down the line (before he fucked it up by leaving trying ti prevent a bigger fuck up). Yet now maybe he was the one excited because instead of relief he feels dissapointed? He hadn't had much time to process anything really, only that he needed to see you.

"God, I can't believe you thought we had a kid." Your face flickering at the possible implications of why he was here. You give him a look, like it'll be the last one. "Why did you come? What did you want?" You measure him, against himself. Seeing what could have changed. (He's a bit taller and more built but did he grow at all?)

"...I don't know." And it's the truth. That's what scares him so fucking much. That's he's uncertain but he's still being honest with you. You purse your lips because really you didn't expect any other answer.

"If that's all I have to get back to work." And as you turn he grabs your arm. You stay there for a moment, giving him the grace to say something but when the moments gone you tug your arm away.

He's never felt so distraught because he's got so many thoughts but nothing to say. He feels so out of it, this is how you always made him feel. Why he was drawn to you but also why he left because it started to feel less fun and more real, vulnerable. He felt vulnerable when he saw you first and when he came here. Even though you laughed at him and he was horrifyingly wrong he still wants to be just a bit vulnerable with you. Yet his fucking mouth won't say anything.

And he just let's you go, without a word from him. This time it's you that's walking away.

You take a breath than open the door and close it behind you without a look back. He stares at it for what feels like an embarrassing amount of time before it opens again.

Its not you but your coworker who walks to him.

"Can you move over? You're in the spot the cameras don't see." She says while taking out a cigarette. He does so a bit sluggish for a pro athlete. She takes a drag before she looks him up and down. She takes out a slip of paper, a note.

"Here, she told me to give this to you if you still hang around." He gingerly takes it and opens it. It's a phone number.

"Also no loitering." He leaves note clutched in hand.

(Also could I be 🪼 anon?)

I'm sorry if this is hard to answer, but how did you start writing on tumblr? I want to one day do things like these and it always feels so anxiety inducing

hi!! don't worry, i totally get the feeling!! unfortunately my answer will seem pretty 'boring' — i kind of just did.

i was also pretty anxious, but one day i just wrote something on my notes app and posted it here. my best advice is that, even when you're scared, just do it scared. there will be trial and error (my posts were so ugly at first HAHSHSH), and it is slightly heartbreaking when your post gets not too many notes even though you poured your everything into it, but over the course of posting here for multiple years, i actually have barely gotten any mean comments at all, and instead many people who say they like my work? i still can't believe it myself sometimes!!

i also got great opportunities through just being brave that one day and starting, like meeting the person i now hold most dear (♡) to my heart on here, and you never know just what you're missing out on if you don't try! and there will always be someone who likes your writing, who enjoys the same prompts you do. always. perhaps there won't be 3000 notes on every post of yours, but some people will screenshot your work to keep in their gallery, some will think of it all day long, comment something sweet and reread it ever so often, and connecting with those people makes it very much worth it in my opinion!

i wish you the absolute best and am daring you to start in the next week. you can always quit again if it's not for you! but to come to that realisation, you have to start first!

2024 Writing Reflections

Thank you for the tag, @graysparrowao3

I had to think about this a bit. My personal life has been ridiculously stressful, especially the past 3 months, and writing has helped me through it. So, every word I've written and published has been special and important because it serves that purpose, even if no one reads or enjoys it but me.

But then, some people actually do enjoy my work, which is just amazing. So now, yes I still write for myself, but also because it sometimes brings other people happiness, or at least distraction. Maybe a few might get a deeper meaning from some of it or really enjoy my style.

I also really like reading all the amazing stuff my lovely and talented mutuals write, and looking at all your beautiful artwork. This whole experience has been amazing and I hope I can share another year of it with you all. ❤️

What's been your biggest learning point this past year?

Tumblr and Ao3, honestly. I started writing on reddit, but that was definitely not serving me. People can be so nasty over there, I don't understand it. But it was suggested to me to move over to Tumblr and post on Ao3 and I never looked back. I never realized that there could be a social media site that wasn't a seething mass of hate and vitriol. Everyone here is so nice, and if they don't like my writing, they just ignore me, which is fantastic! 

How has your writing developed this past year?

I started out writing bg3 fanfiction very formal. The structure and language and events were, if not boring, at least kind of stilted and serious. I've learned to inject a lot more levity into my writing and really tried to stop taking it all so seriously. I like writing boring stuff! Lord of the Rings is boring af and it's one of my favorite books. But it does get old and it helps to flex my literary muscles into different styles. 

Bad writing habits?

This has nothing to do with the product itself, but I tend to write everything on my phone. It's really convenient and I can take it anywhere, but my notes and wips are really messy, scattered across about 4 apps, and I've developed tendinitis. 

Favorite thing you wrote?

I think that would have to be the most recent one, Heat of the Night. The title is tongue in cheek, meant to mimic those 80s sitcoms and crime dramas, soap operas, all the stuff I grew up with. The story is the same way. I toss my characters into a modern/80s setting, with all the cliches, language, fashion and technology that entails. I did change a bit because it's an AU (they have cellphones, which weren't really a thing in the 80s, and personal vehicles don't exist. Everyone either teleports or takes public transit.) But it's really fun to write and there really aren't any tropes or plotlines or events that won't fit somewhere in it. Mood writing at it's finest. 😁

Biggest win?

@crowwolf my bestie. I can't believe I found someone so great to talk to and help with my writing. It started out as her just giving sweet compliments and enjoying my weirdness, but she's been so supportive and inspiring that it became much more than that. Now we're collaborating, and I don’t think we've gone a day without talking in months. ❤️

Your favorite words of the year, aka the words you check each chapter for, making sure you didn't repeat them 788 times?

Aside from "Cal" and "Ryldinn", my most commonly used word in my most recent fic is "little". I've decided that the tieflings are big, especially the men, and the other main characters are much smaller, but I should thesaurus it a bit more. 😅 There are also, as mentioned by @graysparrowao3 many mentions of breathing, chuckling, huffing, snorting, scoffing, giggling, and descriptions of facial expressions. 

Goals for the new year?

Finish some stuff! I should be able to close out a few wips pretty soon, but the new one is being written so it can be converted into an original, that will actually take place in 1980s Miami, with more original story and characters. It's a series too, so publishing the first installment as an original would be amazing. 

What are you excited for in the new year?

I've recently started going out of my comfort zone a little and writing scenes and plotlines that are more challenging. A large dinner party scene, an operatic ballet, and a mystery where I have to keep 39 tieflings accounted for are among them. So just more of that, I suppose. I've already started converting the characters, figuring out names and origins, and working out relationships and plot points for my original, and that's pretty exciting.

I'm not tagging anyone else specifically because I don't know who's been tagged or who wants to play, but if you follow me and see this on your dash, please consider it an invitation to share, if you want to. 😊

my favorite fics that i wrote and why

So, first I'll explain. I'm gonna being reccing my own fics which I'm not super sure how to do cause I mostly just yeet shit on ao3 and let the fates decide, and I'm never sure what's like, too much? Like I see other people rec their own fics and I'm like (O O) how do i do that. Like idk why I have this resistance to like, telling people that I like my own fics? So today I said fuck that, everyone's gonna know now.

And I've just been doing not so hot recently for a number of reason and I figured like, I've been obsessing over so much, why don't I get to be excited about the good things? So anyway, these are my favorite fics that I've written, not just the ones that have done the best or whatever, just my personal favorites, so without further ado...

(quick fyi, all of these are locked so you need to be logged into ao3 to view)

First up is sorry that i can't believe anybody really starts to fall in love with me , don't ask why the name is so long I just like the song lmao. This one's special to me cause it was my first KPTS fic. Is it the best? No. Does it have a super deep meaning? Nope. But it's cute and it's mine so I love it. Next!

the imperfect art of making it. Very self indulgent. I wrote this for the endorphins fic fest which gave me the motivation to write, but really I just loving transing my characters, and soft KimChay deserves lots of love.

Next up, do you look up to the sky? My first whumptober fic and the first one I wrote bc as soon as I looked at the prompts I was like "oh Kim's getting locked in the fucking basement for sure" and then he did! Success. Also KimChay are a pstd4ptsd couple, I won't be taking questions at this time.

This is getting longer than I thought it was gonna be but fuck it, I told myself I was doing this to remind myself why I like writing and that I do actually enjoy it so the longer the better tbh bc it means I really do love it. It's not a bad thing if all of my fics have a special place in my heart, right?

Ok last of the non dead dove ones is i should have kissed you. I don't exactly have a reason, I just think it's a good fic.

The next ones are dead dove cause I have two modes which are cute fluff and illegal <3

chay and kinn and chay. This thing is my baby. I love him with my whole heart. I wrote him in discord messages on my walk to and from classes. This is one fic that I would not be ashamed to say I've read several times over. This is the fic that I think of when people say "write the fics you want to read." This was also a spite fic which makes all of that even funnier lmao

Willow Dancin' On Air. This one's not dead dove but it is KimVegas so eh. But this is another fic I wrote purely for myself. I just wanted some fluffy lil somethin somethin and now every time I listen to this song I think of this fic

Ok last one, Why minors shouldn’t gamble. This one also started on discord and was written in my notes app at like. 9 am while I was still in bed lmao. Because that's where inspiration peaks. And it's hot idk. omegaverse will never not be be a special interest of mine, hopefully one day we can find out what happens when Kim joins the party, I'm genuinely curious.

OK! So. That was something. Tbh I feel a lot better lmao. My therapist would be so proud of me if I ever told her I write fanfiction pff. Normalize reading your own fics over and over. I'm saying that directly to myself cause I see all these like motivational things about writing and then I don't believe them, what's that about?? Doing this reminded me that I actually like the things I create, highly recommend. Now I'm gonna get myself a glass of water cause for the next maybe 12 hours I'm changing my life!! I'm doing self care!!! Woo hoo!!!!! Now to post this before I remember that other people can see it :) Ok bye ✌️

Thoughts on Love for Love's Sake before the last 2 episodes air

Going into the finale, rather than making guesses, I'm just going to lay out some facts that we know, some of my own observations and assumptions, and capture my out-standing questions.

They showed in one of the flashbacks that the mysterious "sunbae" (who MyungHa confirmed he's forgotten outside of the flashbacks when he was looking at his notebook) had him filling out a questionnaire about what is happiness;

and the mini-missions are written as answers to questions in (as MyungHa confirmed) his own writing.

So I think the missions are ones that MyungHa accidentally set for himself while he was drunk. The ones we've seen so far:

Like-minded friends/companions

Lack of insecurity/uncertainty

To be understood/known

And the game designer has turned these into actionable side quests for MyungHa, ostensibly so that MyungHa learns to work at trying to achieve happiness.

But it strikes me that the measures for "success" are not very accurate to actual results.

For example, raising 3 mllion won won't actually prevent YeoWoon from experiencing anxiety or living in uncertainty. And gaining 100,000 followers on instagram certainly doesn't equate to being known or understood, not in the way it sounds like it was probably meant when it was written.

And this is validated by young YeoWoon who has a very specific picture of his family being intact when wishing for happiness:

The game, meanwhile, is destabilizing as MyungHa successfully makes changes to the original story that align, theoretically, with 'making YeoWoon happy', but deviate from the story.

And we know MyungHa does not believe in prescribed fate

So I have faith that MyungHa is going to find an alternative to wiping out all of his changes or seeing his grandma die or YeoWoon get hit by a car, because he's not going to accept the outcome as described. He's going to get YeoWoon a happy ending.

But beyond that, what is all of this about? Who is the sunbae who wrote the novel/game and why can't MyungHa remember him beyond the murky flashbacks?

Who is cheering MyungHa on towards a happy ending in his notes app or email or whatever that is?

And what about those weird other text messages about following folks who looked like you, breaking vases, etc? I've had a few wild theories, my favourite being that they're re-routed text messages from YeoWoon to his grandmother; but honestly them being either YeoWoon or a secret other real world person sending them to MyungHa in future is most likely.

Also who is KyungHoon's LDR? I'm going to clown theory this one as a sibling of SangWon, because he mentioned he's had feelings since childhood and they are childhood friends because their parents knew each other.

Last thing I'll say: There is clearly an element of getting MyungHa to fight for his own happiness in this story; I hope they'll continue the thread of having him learn to trust/rely on others, being brave for the present since you the future is uncertain, and letting go of a sense of responsibility for everyone and everything as part of that learning how to be happy.

I'm super stoked for this finale!

tuesday again 11/21/2023

awful lot of cooking content from me, who hates cooking but finds the evenings jittery and boring

listening

Doorbell by Sterling Press, off the spotify weekly recced playlist. i don't know that i like this song. i don't know that it's particularly good. goddamn if it isn't catchy. alt britpop, they hate being compared to blur but mmmm. you do hear it. notes of ska as well. a song to blast in your car when your spring break plans fell through and you're driving to the good target two towns away from your hometown.

i don't think this music video could have existed pre-pandemic-- idk doorbell cams were that ubiquitous or well known, despite heavy advertising from nest.

from an interview:

Speaking about the new release, they said, “We wrote the song in our mates garage using drum samples off YouTube. We spent all night writing it then in the early hours of the morning drove to Maccies to have breakfast and had it on repeat the whole time. We all fell in love with it straight away. These lyrics speak to the importance of authenticity and sincerity in your actions. In a world where appearances and pretences can be misleading, it's a reminder to be true to yourself and to avoid trying to impress others for the sake of it. “I feel like its an experience we all share. We all know someone who goes off to uni or gets a new job and you bump into them on the street and they act as if they have no idea who you are. I guess this song is reflection of our frustrations towards those people.”

they have what i would consider an unusual amount of hype and presence for a band that has exactly three songs out, but they've all been making music together and separately since well before the pandemic so maybe they've just finally broken out? i can't figure out who these kids are related to. i don't think it's a full on industry plant but i do think someone's dad has some money.

a friend once said she hated how eighties songs faded out like a printer running out of ink, and i do not particularly care for how 2020s songs end with the entire band vanishing underwater.

this song is truly not that deep but it is thoroughly stuck in my goddamn head.

listening: special podcast edition

i am not looking for solutions. do not say solutions at me. i am taking through a brain thing and having a weird workflow and brain problem. i have tried other apps with browser support and do not like them, and i cannot have my personal apple id tied to my work computer bc i have and frequently use a work apple id.

i have been listening to podcasts through Spotify ever since mmm november ‘20. it has not been a good experience but juggling the Apple Podcasts app through my phone (distraction minefield) and whatever im listening to or working on with the work computer is a nightmare. ethics of spotify aside, it is a tremendously successful all in one listening platform. i do not have the brainspace to manage my own music library, and support my favorite artists in other ways.

i am not looking for solutions. do not say solutions at me.

however, if you listen to enough podcast episodes, spotify does not seem to believe you when you tell it to unfollow a podcast. it just keeps letting you know hey this has a new episode. this got me stuck on a loop where i was listening to more and more episodes of two very prolific conspiracy theory debunking podcasts to the exclusion of almost everything else. this was not very good for my mental health.

i am not looking for solutions. do not say solutions at me.

despite the real annoyance of finagling a very distracting phone and the work laptop, i have gone back to Apple Podcasts and (after weeding out a variety of podcasts for a variety of reasons) started listening to friends at the table again. not sure why i stopped but i felt a weird amount of guilt around restarting?? the tablefriends neither know nor care. i have finally finished road to palisade and am excited but nervous about starting palisade proper

reading

a local religious thrift store has absolutely rancid vibes but does regularly have 6/$1 book sales. there were a couple older trade paperback comics the last time: the first three volumes of ULTIMATE XMEN and a radom What If? superman.

my trouble with the xmen, and i have to read something from it once every two years to remind myself, is that magneto is right. they will never be able to assimilate into white picket fence middle america, or even among the liberal coastal elites or whatever the term du jour was in 1999. the box will always be smaller and you will never be perfect enough. i did not enjoy this enough to continue bc of this fundamental disagreement with most xmen comics.

also it looks like this. magneto’s lair has an arch in the shape of the arch on the front of his helmet and that was pretty baller, but there’s a real. what was they gimmick blog about all the comic book women in contorted spine-breaking poses? it’s like that a lot. WHAT is ororo’s body doing there

watching

hey. what the fuck do you mean tomato sauce is that easy. i dislike tomato sauce and almost exclusively eat jar upon jar of aldi brand pesto. im not allergic bc tomatoes aren't tingly but it's just sort of Nothing all the time. what do you mean it can be good???

i don't actually remember why i'm subscribed to mr internet shaquille. perhaps, like so many other food things, it's kali's fault.

playing

g/enshinposting.

pulled this horrid little brat. very pleased with myself.

i do not. love. her story quest. it falls into the childrens' media trap of Sometimes It's Okay For Other People To Stomp All Over Your Boundaries If It's For The Good Of The Group! or perhaps this is just a thing i'm particularly twitchy about. either way, annoyed that other characters of this importance have gotten some deeply moving writing and so far furina has...not gotten that.

the next character i am excited about is lolita taylor swift, or geo-aligned lady with big fuckoff sword. from some early maybe-leaks i think she would pair beautifully with my playstyle and my pirate lady with big sword. my playstyle is mostly brute force damage. i hit things as hard as i can until they fall over and i've played the entire game (with some exceptions that required actual thinking about elemental reactions) that way. it pleases me.

re: the conclusion of the annapausis sidequest, genshin does a really good job of teasing out "ok in a world with actual gods, what does spirituality look like/what are the differing views on fate/how do people make sense of an afterlife". mostly this is gnosticism. and sometimes it's a real life occultist secret society (reskinned Rosicrucianism). fascinating writing choices.

making

turkey cottage pie with scalloped potatoes, bc i had a five-pound bag of russets that were starting to sprout. im just going to yoink this pic i posted earlier bc it is now half gone and in tupperware form

this is the first time ive ever cooked in a dutch oven and im in love. i thrifted this for $20 some weeks ago but bc the lid has some chips and rust i haven't used it. which is silly, bc the body of the oven is fine. de-rusting and seasoning the lid will wait for a day when i actually need it bc for now we can get by with doubled-over sheet of aluminum foil.

used this recipe: only had a pound of ground turkey and liberally stretched it with potatoes (i think about three and a half pounds out of five) and three pounds out of a cheap frozen veggie mix bag. did not include mushrooms bc i did not like them. threw in some bay leaves bc i have a giant bag of them, i think i almost doubled the wine bc i doubled the recipe, but i do not think i remembered to double the beef stock. i also shook in a liberal amount of italian seasoning bc i have a cheap jar from aldi i want to use up.

the final product was somewhat soupy. i anticipated that slicing the potatoes was going to be the longest part (mostly true, i had to take breaks) and kept them in a big bowl of cold water to stop them browning while i chopped and after i blanched them. i also could have reduced the filling down some more but i am not a patient woman.

not as intended but still yummy, which was a lovely surprise bc usually when i fuck recipes up i fuck them up But Good. plus new technique (dutch oven). if i make this again (likely) i will do instant potatoes on top bc this was a fuck of a lot of chopping for one recipe. thinking about getting one of those stupid little hand smash veggie choppers bc a full food processor is extremely out of budget.

[just-jordie-things]

8. share a headcanon from one of your favorite ships or pairings

itadori is extremely ticklish and freaks out upon being tickled. megumi isn't the least bit ticklish, despie itadori's best efforts to find a spot that makes him giggle. this always ends up in a near-wrestling match as megumi retaliates by tickling him until eventually it gets out of hand

9. self ship hcs
