[iemonjelly]

new hyperfixation unlocked!

ref for angel vash was amore rapito by daniele accossato

[jttw-m0nkehs1mp]

Yo, so I have decided to hop in on the writing community for the silly monkey man, Wukong.

My brand new obsession/hyperfixation, idc what the judgemental peeps gotta say cause I am down BAD for this lil' fucker.

Anyway, enough of that, I believe a formal introduction is due-

Okay so, y'all can call me Rumi, I am 20 years old and have just recently joined the Fandom of Journey To The West. I have not yet read the book, but I have the audio book ready and waiting for me.

As you can see on my pfp, I am a fan of Lego Monkie Kid, but at the current moment, I have not yet completed the series. Dw tho, I am slowly progressing to the end.

I like to write and I will drabble some x reader stuff on here for y'all thirsty asses(I am thirsty asses) and I hope you guys will enjoy what I have to offer. My pronouns are she/her but they/them are also cool👍

Now, for my writing...

I am not someone who rlly takes requests. I wrote some stuff before, accepting requests and whatnot, but the sheer amount became overwhelming and quite stressful, which burnt me out. A request or two(or three) is a-okay for me tho.

Share me your ideas!! A drabble is what I enjoy the most and I won't mind making headcannons either, those are quite fun.

Long stories are something I have not yet experimented with, so I don't think I would he making any soon due to my waning motivation levels. A one-shot would probably the most common thing to find here.

Speaking of motivation, I probably won't post a lot, and might dissapear for months on end. I am not dead, I assure you that.

My writing style would probably be prompts or drabbles and the occasional headcanon or two. Long stories will be rare, if not non-existent. I leave those to the more motivated and clearly more talented authors out there.

!English is not my first language! So expect some grammar mistakes or whatever

Who will I write for??

Good question, me! Well let's see here...

Black Myth: Wukong

- Destined one

- Sun Wukong

- Erlang Shen

(Any other fellas u want here if u wanna request)

Lego Monkie Kid:

-Sun Wukong

-Macaque

- Red son <33 (I love him, my child, my baby, my precious)

- Nezha

Any other fella u want me to add, I can't remember the main cast all that much💀

- MK

- Mei

Will I write NSFW? Yes, yes I will

I am unsure if I will be able to capture the characters of the og content, and my knowledge may be limited. If I write something a bit ooc or you got some writing tips, please, by all means give then to me🙏

Anyways I kinda forgot what I wanted to say next so byeeeeee🏢🤸‍♀️

[acewitch-writes]

Hello! I recently found your account, and I went on scrolling down and down...and now I hope you know how grateful I am. Thank u- Merci. About 90% of the content you share here has made me feel so much better. I realllyy hope wonderful things happen for you. I've been a fan of hp since 2001, but I'm not really a social media person so I haven't been active in the fandom. I had no idea what was happening here until recently..two months ago to be exact (other details are not important) and omg.. I ended up in a discussion with some I think, new fans. tbh I thought, "Great! I'm good at this, I read all the books more than once Let's talk :)"  and omg their very first question was "What do you think about Regulus?"

I was like, "Who?" *dying from secondhand embarrassment bc It turns out I'm not that good at this

but as the discussion continued, I became more and more baffled bc "Why was everyone talking about Barty, Evan, and Regulus? who is daddy Remu? and what do you mean people ship James Potter with R.A.B.? What?"

I swear for a moment I thought "Did the writer publish a new book? Did I miss something? " tbh, I respect everyone's opinion it's none of my business but I'm still shocked. The only thing that bothers me is everything that happened with this new Wolfsar

omg, for most fans around my age (or at least people I know), Sirius was the complete portrayal of a bad boy- a rebel, with boots, tattoos, a leather jacket, and a fucking motorcycle. so this new Sirius is like a stranger to me, and that's okay. Mein issue is kinda with this new Remus T T my beloved .

They (the fans I was talking with) told me Remus is "tall, so handsome, SO strong, and hot-headed person because,  yk he's a werewolf." I was like "hot headed? excuse me?" I tried to explain to them that Remus being a werewolf is a metaphor for illnesses like HIV, it's not some superpowery gift.  they didn't believe me, but then they literally looked me in the face and said, "Then why would Sirius like someone like him? He's poor, short, and ugly." I swear I wanted to cry right then and there.

What is this mindset that makes some people think that a person should be, Idk, hot and flawless to deserve to be loved? Yes I don't think Remus is tall and super hot and perfect and isn't it fine? and I am 100% sure he's so beautiful. not like Sirius ofc but he has this "warm, cozy, and soft" sort of beauty. and I don't think he was a coward (ok maybe he was a liitle) but I guess it's easier for us, humans, to take the worst or weakest moment of a character and amplify it until it defines them entirely. and omg I'm so sorry for my rant and my bad english. but once again thank you for your beautiful soul <3 thank you

Hi anon! I, too, am baffled by the recent obsession with Regulus in this fandom. I think Jegulus is fine as a crack ship, but it has become so mainstream that many fans have just gone ahead and canonized it to the point that you'll be vilified for not accepting it as canon. I underestimated how popular the "best friend's brother" trope was, apparently. I also think it appeals to many fans as a Marauders Era version of one of the most popular ships of all time, Drarry.

This new version of Wolfstar is my biggest complaint with today's fandom, too! I get that the Marauders have very limited canon information and therefore we have more creative freedom to flesh them out, but I really believe that it has gone way too far. Sirius and Remus in today's fandom don't bear any resemblance to the characters they're based on. Remus is just a generic alpha werewolf OC and Sirius is his generic himbo femboy love interest OC. They don't even share a physical description with their Canon counterparts, and their personalities and character traits are so far removed that I can't even fathom how we reached this point as a fandom. How can you claim to like these characters if you have to change everything the source material says about them?

You're English is great, by the way! I completely agree that Remus has a cozy-and-warm sort of beauty. He made a point to distance himself from the stigma surrounding Lycanthropy because it was the focal point of his shame and self-loathing. And I just adore Wolfstar's dynamic from this lens, with the intimidatingly beautiful, confident, headstrong Sirius Black, who could have his pick of anyone he wants, choosing this ordinary guy because he's cozy and soft and it's exactly what Sirius wants after surviving the harsh ideals and abuse of House Black.

Yes, yesterday there was a Zionist from "Palestinian Jews do not exist because there is a ban on Jews in Palestine", in short, Zionists are such bigots that they accept the murder of Jews as long as they are Palestinians

Now that I have your attention:

[k-s-morgan]

Hii I am new to the Hannibal fandom and I think u understand the show and the actors and Bryan alot . But there are some things that are worrying me . I read about Ur speculation of Hannibal s4 and I agree with it even tho it's almost impossible now to get a season but my mind can't find peace if I don't get some answers so I hope u won't mind me asking you about your thoughts and what the plot will be for S5 as Bryan wanted to include sotl and what he means by Will being "happy" only in s5.

Will he Leave Hannibal or something??

Hello! Welcome to the fandom!)) Now, what I think makes sense and what Bryan could have planned might be different things, but if to combine them... first, here are my predictions for the potential S4 in case someone is interested and hasn't seen them.

According to Bryan’s words ever since the show ended, this is what had to be present:

1) Will being behind the veil with Hannibal, firmly turning away from the ‘light’ side once and for all.

2) Will and Hannibal being in Cuba and having “adventures” as well as going after Margot and Alana together.

3) Mind Palace, hallucinations, and search for self.

4) Will being out of his mind.

5) Hannibal manipulating Will.

As a theory: Will is going to feel drunk on his newfound darkness and freedom. He was repressed for so long that now that he Became, he’ll be losing his focus and drowning in his own preferences, forgetting what they were and turning into a much more vicious monster any of us expected. He’ll be chasing the high he felt from killing Francis and failing to find it. He’ll be surrounded by blood, his past victims (hence the return of everyone dead, like Bryan mentioned), and more madness. A part of him will want to impress Hannibal, to prove that he’s a worthy partner (which is supported by Will seeking Hannibal’s approval throughout the show - the way he glances at him after biting Cordell is a good example; the way he has low self-esteem and knows Bedelia failed Hannibal’s expectations). So he’ll be acting more and more violently.

Hannibal will see that Will is losing himself in a new way. He won’t want to start a physical relationship with him (which Bryan mentioned) because he’ll be afraid that it isn't for the right reasons, that Will is too far gone to made decisions. So, he’ll feel like the best therapy would be to push Will even more and make him realize that he’s approaching their new life from the wrong angle, to make him figure out that this isn't the kind of killer he wants to be. To do this, Hannibal’s manipulation will entail them going after Alana and Margot.

Will won’t be fond of the idea but Hannibal will manipulate him into accepting it, intending it as a test that will finally make Will snap out of his state. So Will will initially help hunt them down but then he’ll realize this isn’t what he wants to do. Hence finally getting his mind back, which creates the ground for his happiness.

Him being happy in S5 is another thing Bryan mentioned. We also know he wanted to do SOTL.

Personally, I don't think this show needs Silence of the Lambs with Clarice and Buffalo Bill at this point because it has already incorporated major elements from it. Clarice has been divided between different characters; we had a plot with Randall, who didn't feel comfortable in his body, didn't find acceptance from society, and evolved in his own murder-y way. I feel like this echoed the events of SOTL in a way that paid homage to it but remained unique and non-repetitive.

But Bryan does want to film his version of SOTL, so it is what it is. Why I don't think he would break Will and Hannibal up, even though it's purely subjective:

1) He said Hannibal wouldn't want to initiate sexual contact with Will as long as Will is out of his mind in S4. This implies to me that the idea is potentially in the cards for S5.

2) Bryan loves the books and pays respect to them in the most relevant ways. I think he wouldn't want to go against the ending where Hannibal finds the love of his life and enjoys his beautiful freedom. The specifics might differ, but Hannibal would still get his happy ending.

3) The ending of every season supports this notion further. Each one ends with Hannibal's victory, it's a narrative pattern, and breaking it would feel jarring (looking at 'Merlin' here).

4) Bryan is always promoting Hannigram in very positive, life-affirming ways. Here's one quick example of him confirming a fan's question if they can believe that Will and Hannibal are happy somewhere out there. There is a million more examples, and I am skeptical that he'd be doing things quite like this if he planned some ultimate tragedy between them.

About S5 plot: Mads said that Clarice wouldn't be Hannibal's love interest while Bryan said she wouldn't be Abigail #2 for Will and Hannibal. So I assume her role would entail either becoming a reluctant ally or a clever nemesis. Perhaps she decides to seek Murder Husbands out because she feels like they would be the best bet at solving some crime, and they feel amused enough to enter a chase with her; maybe Will and/or Hannibal are imprisoned again, so she comes to consult with them. Maybe Hannibal is imprisoned while Will creates the persona of Buffalo Bill to make people like Clarice talk to Hannibal in their desperation for insights while staging his escape.

I like the first and the third options most. Though since Bryan mentioned that he might push SOTL into flashbacks, like it occurred during the 3-year gap in S3, I really don't see the point of this story-line. Introducing major characters so late in the game is a very bad idea.

In short, I believe that the ending for Will and Hannibal is planned as happy, and I'll keep thinking this until proven otherwise (hopefully never)).

Sorting out my Thoughts regarding Tolya and Inej

A few days ago, I finished watshing Shadow and Bone Season 2 and

what.

The.

FUCK.

Some background before you quote me on this!

I first fell in love with the crows on Season 1 of S&B. They, along with the sheer insanity of the fandom that I resonated with, encouraged me to buy the duology and read the hecc out of it. Out of all the grishaverse books, I've only ever read the six of crows duology, so I only know show!Tolya from S&B Season 2.

I am an avid Kanej shipper. I love Kaz. I'm in love with Inej. Love them together and as individual characters. (recently started rereading, and since mentally separating the show and the books, i've been really seeing them in a new lights from both angles! and both endear me.) I hold this ship sacred and very close to my heart, and nothing will ever change that.

-

Some spoilers from here on out!

-

Like any other fellow fan who followed the series primarily because of kanej, who learned to peck for crumbs in the briefest (longest) of gazes and the subtlest of interactions, I was on the edge of my seat anticipating every smidge of development between my favourite pair.

It wasn't a steady rise in progression, but it was the Kaz and Inej way, and I loved it. Ot's nice that they kept that sense of angsty realism from the books. (Can't say the impact and heaviness of Kaz's trauma and backstory was fully communicated, but Freddy did SO GREAT.) The sort-of push and pull kept me positively on my toes throughout the whole series, so I became laser-focused on their relationship the whole time.

Then came rolling Episode 8.

GLORIOUS 'and how would you have me?' MOMENT. the tension, the looking at each other, the miniscule changes in expression, the way you could see the monologue in the pause between responses - yes, im talking about kaz 'you, inej. you.' brekker (bless u freddy carter) - and the sheer fragility of the moment. it's everything i could have asked for in an adaptation of that scene

AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY FLOORED.

(and devastated. angst symptom, really. but mostly floored.)

Then we got a little moment with Nikolai and Mal, and damn, even after a break-up-but-not-really-a-break-up, INEJ LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL I SKDJFKDJ

She looked hopeful, which makes sense. For her, its a new beginning. Its a half equivalent of the ending she got in crooked kingdom. The best thing about it is that she just doesn't look like she has any regret. (Not that she doesn't care about Kaz, but that she doesn't regret not settling for less than she deserves.) AND INEJ - inej deserves that kind of weightless freedom.

AND THEN AND THEN

THAT SCENE

THAT SCENEEEEEE

TOLYA OFFERED A HAND FOR THE BAG. LIKE, NOT EVEN TO HELP HER UP YET, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BAG, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. Inej is a bit estranged by the gesture (She's so used to mannerless crows lol) but gives it, anyway. Tolya offers his other hand. Inej, endeared, but confused, accepts the help, AND YOOO

THE HEAT.

THE HEAT IN TOLYA'S GAZE AS INEJ WALKS FURTHER ONTO THE SHIP.

THE LITTLE SMALL SMIRK AS HE LOOKED AT HER.

THAT. BROKE ME.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

The tension was there. It's so obvious. THEY (production) MADE SURE IT WAS FELT. I'm balling because I got totally played by the pacing.

Most of what I felt throughout the scene mirrored Inej's. Did not consider AT ALL that Tolya was holding any interest for her, so the quiet and the emphasis in the nonverbal cues in the scene really built up the realization, and that expression Tolya had after Inej turns away hit me in the face like it was Kaz's cane.

Looked for images online, showed it to my friends, and REALLY had to ask their opinion if said expression was a look of interest or I'm just overthinking it. IT COULD VERH WELL BE HIM PLAYFULLY TEASING HER BEING UNUSED TO GENTLE FRIENDLINESS, RIGHT? Friends said that look is their exact look when looking at their love interest, and mhm. Admittedly, I was in denial.

Saw a reddit thread about it! I WAS SO GLAD I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW IT. THEY EVEN LISTED SOME OTHER SCENES FROM OTHER EPISODES THAT POINTED TO TOLYA'S INTEREST, and oh, they were so right.

Having rewatched it, it was really obvious. The tension was there when I really looked at them. I EVEN MISSED HOW TOLYA WAS TELLING OVHAL TO TAKE HIM INSTEAD OF INEJ.

I felt like, from that, I really should have seen it coming.

But I understand that it was easy to get distracted by the other narratives! Such as wesper troubles in paradise, hyperfixated on the way tolya meditated(?) to withstand the poison longer, INEJ'S DELUSION????, Jesper's heartwarming and simultaneously heartbreaking dream, KAZ DENYING HOW MUCH INEJ MEANS TO HIM, Ohval's badassery (i did not think she could get any more badass, but she did), and that wonderful fight scene??? Oh, yeah. So much was happening.

After that scene in episodr 8, it was hard not to try following where his gaze led for the rest of the episode, and definitely found it briefly landing on the part of the boat that Inej was a few seconds later revealed to be hanging from.

Did I already love Tolya before the scene that dropped the bomb? Yes. Do I still love Tolya? Yes, I do. Do I love him so much more for it, regardless? Yes, yes, yes.

Tolya alone with his passion for poetry, family, adventhre, and his superstions was loveable enough. But anyone who treats Inej with the respect she so rightfully deserves also gets a great in my book.

BUT DID I IMMEDIATELY FEEL GUILTY FOR NOT REALLY BEING ADVERSE TO THE IDEA OF TOLYA BEING INTERESTED IN INEJ?

Honestly, a little bit.

But Kanej would always be endgame. And I do not see Tolya as a threat to that.

-

It's a little unnerving how I didn't see these details and made the connrctions in the series as I watched, but Inej and Tolya are plenty alike.

Both are passionately religious, both know their superstitions, both have an occupation or a way of life that somehow go against some principles of their beliefs, and they SUCKED AT FIGHTING OHVAL LMAO but their movements and actions in episode 6 were really in sync. Could probably inflict more damage together with more practice, but it's a nice detail that they didn't accidentally hit each other even once despite fighting side by side for the first time. (Or I may be overthinking it, and it's just all the characters' innate experiences in fighting because there also wasn't any problems when Inej fought alongside Zoya, someone she also met only recently.) Other than the fighting, it should also be noted that when the door closed, they kinda moved at the same time. could be for cinematic effect. but it can also be interpreted as both of them being right hands mans of a sort, inej to kaz, and tolya to nikolai, leading them to develop similar habits.

These similarities give them something to bond over. Gives Inej someone to learn from. And I don't know Tolya's story yet, but these common traits and interest is part of the main reason I like their dynamic. Doesn't need to be romantic. I feel they can be great friends and close allies, and if they get flirty, that would also be amusing.

I would love to see their on screen interactions in general.

-

Regarding Inej's trauma and Tolya's Aro-ace representation

If you think about it, these two facts kind of make them compatible. Self-explanatory. If you see this as a ship, Inej not wanting to be touched and Tolya's minimal need/no need for touch is the simplest way to go about things, I feel. Wouldn't fault you for taking that route.

But part of the reason why Kanej works so well is that they encourage and motivate each other to heal from their trauma.

And unless Inej comes out as Ace/Aro/Aro-Ace, it's healthy for book!inej to desire to touch another person in spite of her trauma. No matter how slow the progress.

In the show, Inej's trauma is never discussed at all. It even seems non existent. I could handle them not confronting it directly. It's possible they may be saving it for the spinoff. But the show of physical casual physical contact kind of negates that a bit, such as Jesper coming up to hug Inej and spin her around. But to fit in the narrative, I think Tolyacan help with that. More on that in a bit, but first

The headcanon that Tolya is Aro-Ace

This is really the only source I found regarding any book statements about the origins of Tolya being Aro-Ace. And I've read the fact that Tolya is the only one eith no clear partner through the books have been brought up!

And while I first interpreted this quote from the book as something like, he just doesn't particularly think about it or desire it, and is completely fine with taking his time,

I am also very much in love with the Aro-Ace representation. It's rare, and it feels right on Tolya, to be honest.

Like I said, I don't particularly want him and Inej to be a certain way. (TRYING SO HARD NOT TO PROJECT ON INEJ CAUSE IM ATTRACTED TO HIM) But i do want to see some semblance of closeness between them!

So Queer platonic relationships do exist. I think it's a valid path or ending fanfiction-wise for those who want them 'together' together! I think the exposure to it, and how such a relationship would work, still validates the representation. but I'm not Aro-Ace myself, so do correct me if I'm wrong, and my sincerest apologies if I've offended anyone.

Part of why I still find hope for the Aro-Ace HC is because Tolya doesn't seem to be operating on his interest for Inej based on physical attraction or emotional connection. His intetest truly started from the life debt, then gratitude, thst he'd developed concern for her. I also think Tolya could just be a bit reverent of Inej (hence the look in e08), or appreciate her as a person or someone he could resonate with, but that's my own headcanon.

For how whatever is between tolya and inej could be a significant narrative, please refer to this BCOS THEY SAID IT PERFECTLY AND THATS RLLY THE ONLY WAY I CAN ENVISION IT HAPPENING ROMANTICALLY, AND REALLY ITS SO TRUEEE, AND DOES WONDERS FOR THE KANEJ DEVELOPMENT, would make endgame kanej all the more gratifying. its a bit inej-centered tho, and we also need to talk about how its important to tolya

this one explains how it would be narratively significant for tolya, too. tolya's realization of identity happening in the show also kind of matches the kind of subtle changes the adaptation makes to characters (like how in the show, we are shown inej's first kill, but inej has long resorted to murder in the start of soc), so personally, i agree, and think it would fit.

-

Friendly reminder that I wrote this with consideration to the separation of the show and the book!

Just had to get this out so I can finally focus on my exams!

Remember to keep rewatching season 2 <3 WE NEED THAT SIX OF CROWS SPIN OFF. dont even think abt cancelling, netflix

Hey so I don’t know what the fuck I should do… my irl friends aren’t standing briize but other Kpop groups and I can’t really find solace in them.. I mean obviously they think the whole situation is fucking disgusting and just pure evil of the fake ass fans and SM and so on. But I am just so so devastated right now. I am a briize since debut and went trough the whole scandal hiatus etc etc. so to hear the new of him coming back had me so ecstatic but also nervous due to the backlash it would get. Here we fucking are 2 days later losing him. I’m just conflicted now.. like I’ve lost interest? I know it’s a big thing to say so suddenly. But for almost a year I had hope for Seunghan to come back and hear the news of him finally reunited with the other member at least just hear his fucking voice again. To wait that long and get your hopes up for them to crash down immediately. I love Riize I really do love Riize. The music the dancing the content. But I just .. am I betraying riize if I kinda wanna leave the fandom? or take a break? Even at their lowest point in their career? I have been here for long and then for me (many?) to leave when they probably need support the most

If you don’t wanna answer to this, feel free to ignore. We all are hurting and we all cope in different ways.

hey anon i totally get what ur saying :((

i too have been a predebut fan and seunghan was my first bias…. i was able to stay strong and like riize peacefully over the 10 months he was gone cus i had so much faith that he’d be back. now knowing its official i dont even know how to feel. angry? annoyed? sad? im still processing it honestly…idk how long its gonna take me to accept that theyre going on seperate paths now

these past two days have just been crazy, im so fucking disappointed and disgusted that their hate overpowered our love

and yeah!! i love riize so so much i wouldnt have stayed this long if i didnt but now it just feels so different. i think a big part of why i feel this way is being a part of fandom that doesnt give a shit abt the members wellbeing like not even their favourite, like im sorry we couldnt protect u riize fuck

i want to support them so bad but i dont know how long itll take for me to accept this if i ever do.

i dont think its betraying them at all… im just gonna follow the flow of my emotions over time i dont want to make any decisions now. i think taking a break and calming down from this is what we all need to do☹️☹️ sending u and everyone else virtual hugs anon 🫂🤍

[urlocallsimp]

I do not agree.

People/fans are allowed to feel betrayed, we were HIS FANS AFTERALL AND WE WERE ROOTING FOR HIM TRULY.

Yes nothing is confirmed yet but it is still SHOCKING AF.

This fandom and community that formed here has the right to express how they are personally impacted and feeling about this. You can at least do that in my blog. It is a safe space for you to express however u're feeling. Bc it's just feelings and they won't harm anyone and duuuuuhh we will move on. But I really loved this community and the friends I gained herr that's why I won't disregard their feelings.

Yes the victim is the one truly and seriously impacted here, but us expressing how we feel too doesn't take away from her struggle. People's feelings are valid and u don't get to tell them to shut up and cope how YOU cope. You don't get to decide how people should feel or react. Tumblr exists for fandoms and fandom exists for safe spaces and free expression.

I am one of the people that cried over this bc i loved him more than his identity as an actor or the edits or the hype or Namor. I praised his whole being, his whole humanity I viewed him as an example of healthy and secure masculity (or so I thought) I praised him repeatedly on here, i shared stories on insta abt his masculity hoping he'd be an example to other men, he taught me to not be ashamed of where I come from, made me go learn abt my own culture and to be proud of it and show it off he was more than a ''parasocial relationship''. The news was a stab to all of that. Just bc he's an actor and away from me and doesn't even know me doesn't mean his impact isn't real.

Also wtf is 'overly invested' when you were writing fanfic abt him and we would share pics of his thighs and nudes and typical fandom shit, that's not OVERLY INVESTED behavior? but when it involves smth bad we should shut up!? And not try to learn more abt the truth? And ''he would be one of many'' is sounding like "boys will be boys get over it and as a woman u should just accept it". And I'd like to add that's it's really infuriating to tell people to go to therapy for having normal reactions bc i could equally tell u to go to therapy to learn basic empathy. And validation of others feelings.

I think what u're not understanding is that we're reacting this way bc the news (even not confirmed yet) is a stab to womanhood YET AGAIN bc yet again we trust a man and are proven that women are not safe anyyyyyywhere, anytime. From any man no matter how kind he seems or how much of an activist or FEMINIST he is. (again even tho it's not confirmed yet but the possibility this is true is just utterly SCARY)

Guilty until proven innocent. Believe victims first.

Regarding the whole situation. Please everyone crying and feeling personally betrayed or overly invested, go to therapy and work on parasocial attachment.

I love the man and I believe in innocent until proven guilty but if it turns out to be true I'm not gonna have a breakdown.

As an SA survivor, he would be just one of many. Sigh and move on. Don't act like he personally did anything to you. You are a voyeur in all this, not an active participant.

[honey-milk-depresso]

I don't know if you are talking requests, if not sorry and delete me. Buuuut, if yes, here is my request! To twisted wonderland fandom.

To Jade, Azul, Idia and Kalim

If they discover that someone is trying to give a love potion to their s/o?

DJDHKDHDKDB YEP REQUESTS ARE OPEN MUAHAHAHAHA-

*c0ughs* But I might close it in a short while cuz I was JUST introduced to my new exam schedule-

Damn- right after the holidays just ended-

Soooo hope you enjoy! ^^

Also sorry I didn’t do Kalim ;-;

TWST Someone tries to give their s/o a love potion

Azul Ashengrotto

He probably found out that it was an Octavinelle student carrying out his scheme.

He probably was just browsing in the kitchen, and the unsuspecting student got caught by him,

pouring some drops of the love potion into your drink.

He KNOWS it's a love potion, he's good at alchemy, so he's good in identifying potions.

And he KNOWS it's your drink, because he was the one he took your order personally, and he knows which table number you were sitting,

which the stand showed your table number, and he just placed your spiked drink on the tray, with the table number stand, and boogied out of the kitchen.

B r u h-

Azul

was

so

L I V I D-

HOW DARE HE-

HE'S TRYING TO MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM WITH SUCH A CHEAP TRICK-

KNOWING FULL WELL THAT YOU ARE HIS S/O-

Man is going Brrrr gonna kill him

those instincts are going turned on to

BEYOND THE MAX-

But first,

stop that shit head from giving you that drink.

He immediately caught up to him, as he placed the drink on the table and just wave you goodbye.

That little shit.

Before you could even place your lips on the glass, he took a hold of it, apologizing for such.

"Sorry s/o, but I don't think this student put in that much effort to make your drink, so I'll just whip up a new one for you! I want you to have the best from Monstro Lounge," he smiled.

A part of you was confused, but you didn't question it cuz Azul's is your lover, and you trust him, and you were quite flattered that he "wanted you to have the best", so you just happily accepted, waiting for your drink made by Azul.

While he was in the kitchen just as promise to brew you your drink, he was planning on how to make sure that student won't come up with another cheap tactic to "woo" you.

Maybe he should call in Jade and Floyd to get in on the matter.

I'm sure they're both dying to handle another prey~

Jade Leech

Oh man-

He found out it was an Octavinelle student who spiked your drink,

and he spiked it with a love potion.

But little did they know,

Jade saw it all.

Oh shit-

He might be smiling on the outside,

but the aura he was giving off,

was much

MUCH

sinister than Azul.

He was beyond livid on the inside.

It's quite scary how much rage he can hold in.

But trust me,

he was very angry

and very pissed.

But,

he still needed to make sure you don't even get a sip of that spiked drink.

So once the "wooer" place down the drink,

he immediately went up to you and take the drink away,

much like Azul.

And like Azul, he made up an excuse

to cover up what that idiot did.

"So sorry, s/o. I believe I saw that student forget to add in an ingredient into your drink. It's suppose to supply the drink to make it more flavorful, and personally from me, I want you to have the best experience of consuming our products," he smiled kindly.

And like Azul, you were a little confused at first, but you trusted Jade with your heart because he was your lover, and you were also quite thankful and grateful he wanted you to have a "better experience" to enjoy your time here in Monstro Lounge because he cares for you.

So you just waited as he returned to the kitchen, making your drink.

Once he made it finished and delivered it to you,

he went back to have a

personal chat

with that fellow student.

Maybe he should bring in his dear brother and friend into the fun?

I think he should~

Idia Shroud

He probably figured it out-

When you told him a student from Scarabia who gave you a bottled juice.

You notice Idia was scrunching up his eyebrows.

“Are you thirsty for me?”

You figured his throat was dry.

And just gave him your juice bottle-

the only drink you brought

or at least-

was given to you on your way to Idia’s room.

And he opened bottle.

And he just smelt... something that’s awfully sweet about this drink.

Too sweet.

The liquid kind of looks... suspicious???

Huh??

And that’s where he saw it.

A faint

pink, sparkling swirl.

And from that sight,

he realized.

The student spiked your juice with a love potion,

hoping you drink it to fall in love with them.

And he looked at you in a panic,

though you were just minding your own business.

So many things were swirling in his head.

Like he was shocked- “OH MY GOD SOMEONE TRIED TO SPIKE YOU-”

And also relieved- “THANK GOD YOU DIDN’T DRINK IT- AND ME-”

But he also didn’t know what to do-

and a little bit of him was like “Man, they spike them with a love potion?? They really don’t know I’m their boyfriend?? Am I really that invisible??

M A N-”

Well, I guess he told his other boyfriend his best chess buddy, Azul,

about what happened.

And I swear- He swears,

Azul told him to bring ask s/o about that student and bring them to him and he’ll “take care of the rest”.

Oh boy-

Well, he did- but that didn’t really mattered.

He just wants you to be safe and not love potion poisoned-

that’s all he wants- <3

Home(Dinner Part 2)

Im shortening the exchange students name to S/N AKA student name

Sorry i forgot to answer the person who actually requested this @kurooandkarmaswife thank you sm for requesting! I hope you enjoy 😩

Also lets pretend you cant have more than 1 pact with a human cause yeah. If you havent read Dinner yet go read it since you’ll really only understand this if u read the first part

Fandom: Obey me!

Pairing: not really with anyone but has subtle undertones of solomon & Simeon x reader

Length: sort of long

Genre: Angst with comfort

Gn! Reader and exchange student!

Part three!

Dinner last night, was, well...pretty terrible. I ended up waking up at 2 am to the brothers STILL not home. Apparently even Diavolo had taken a liking to the new exchange student.

A day goes by and finally i get to meet the new exchange student.

Whoah

Is all i can think. I walk into the living room unnoticed as everyone is talking to the new exchange student, i wouldnt blame them.

They look incredible.

I felt a hint of jealousy wash over me. Seeing Mammon, Asmo’s and Beel’s joyful laughs as they talk to them. Their voice was ever so gentle, it’s what i imagine spring to sound like.

I tried forgetting about my distasteful thoughts of jealousy and walked over to them.

“Goodmorning!”

I called out to try and grab their attention

“Oh, MC! I didnt see you there;;”

Asmo said to me as he was taking selfies with the new exchange student

“This is the new exchange student”

Beel smiled

“Hi! My name is MC”

I happily introduced myself

“My name is S/N”

They brought their hand out and i shook it in return. Their eyes were ever so sweet, i felt the sadness come over me as i wore a soft smile.

Something tells me this wont end well.

Weeks go by as i barely get to see the brothers anymore. They’re always around S/N. I find myself longing the brothers touch. The random emergency texts i get from mammon, calls from Asmo asking me if i wanted to go to a club, Belphie always dragging me to his room to take a nap, Beel’s adorable goodnight texts, Lucifer’s complaints about work, Satan’s library dates, And levi’s rants about a certain anime he just watched.. i missed it all.

I guess i missed the warmth and the constant attention i got from them. The attention thats now being directed at S/N.

The new feeling of emptiness leads me to the Purgatory hall, a place i’ve been to quite often after S/N had won over the brothers.

I enter the room praying that i dont see S/N hogging Luke, Solomon, and Simeon’s attention....

What?

Did i just think that?

Am i that jealous?

Have i gotten so used to being in the spotlight that suddenly i become like this when not in the center?

Its an unpleasant feeling and i try to snap myself out of it as i see Simeon, Luke, and Solomon all happily seated on the couch drinking tea and eating pastries Luke made.

“MC! Hey!!”

Luke happily greets me as well as Solomon and Simeon. Im pulled to the couch as im seated next to Luke. I take a bite of the pastry and embrace the comfort of the sugary sweets.

The conversation goes on for a long time as hours go by. Soon enough the entire tray of pastries and tea are long gone.

As the clock hits 8 PM i realize ive been at the Purgatory hall for too long now. Excusing myself i go back to the house of Lamentation to be once again greeted by smiling faces and S/N laying out plates filled with food for the brothers.

The brothers quarrels, Satan’s face of annoyance, Asmo’s whining... The smell of warm food on the dinner table being handed out....

As i hide from the view of the brothers and S/N i look back to when it would to be me that made everyone dinner and calmed them down.

My chair.

My chair had been occupied by S/N,

What?

Did they expect me to sit on the floor for dinner or something?

As i slowly walked to my room i heard the deep voice of Lucifer

“Oh MC,,, sorry S/N is sitting on your spot, we thought you were gonna go to the purgatory hall for dinner tonight. We do apologize”

As i feel my throat closing up i smile and say in a bubbly tone

“Oh it’s fine! I was actually gonna go out with my friends for dinner anyways! I was just getting something from my room, i’ll be out in a sec!”

Lucifer gave me a warm smile and continued conversing with S/N

As i went to my room i started to realize the situation here. I’ve been replaced. I mean who wouldn’t replace me when the actual definition of an angel was right in front of them with their welcoming arms open.

As soon as i got to my room salty tears trailed down my cheeks,

Jealousy?

Sadness?

Anger?

Whatever the emotion was i wasn’t having it. Unlocking my DDD to be greeted by the wallpaper of me and the brothers all dressed up for a ball we went to together once. i tried to hold back my few tears as i called Solomon, a dear friend of mine.

“Hey solomon!!”

“Oh, yes MC? Is there anything you need?”

“I know i just left the purgatory hall but could I possibly stay there for the night?”

“Oh, of course! I dont exactly know why but Luke’s already whining about how you stayed for too little.”

“I’ll be right over”

I hung up the phone, my tears stopping after i heard that comforting voice of his.

That night i stayed at the purgatory hall, happily sleeping next to Luke, lulling him to sleep.

The purgatory hall became my escape. Solomon always made me laugh, Simeon always made sure i felt welcome there and Luke was practically my adopted son after how long i could stay with him.

As i went about the kitchen helping Luke make a pastry i showed him from the human world a strange feeling washed over me. The feeling of something being erased from my my soul, something was fading away. That something felt like it was piercing my soul.

I look around my body to see what it is. As i look around i see it.

My pact marks are starting to fade

I panic as i excuse myself and go back to the house of lamentation.

As i silently enter the room i hear the faint sound of the brothers, they’re discussing something.

“Cmon Satan you’ve gotta be quick! What if they find out?!”

“Removing a pact isnt that easy Mammon.”

As i listen more i realize what it is.

They’re trying to break my pact with me.

And for what exactly?

Because they want one with someone else.

That someone being S/N

It hurt. Who wouldn’t be hurt? tears flowed from my eyes in record time as i tiredly walk outside.

Devildom was a place the brothers always told me to beware of, but right now i couldnt care less.

While i walked around the town with puffy eyes and the stinging feeling of my pact marks being removed, i hear a certain group of people call my name, i look back to see Luke, Solomon and Simeon’s smiles quickly turn into frowns as they see my tears

“What’s wrong MC?!”

Luke worriedly asks

Unable to hold it in i tell Them.

“The brothers are trying to break my pact with them, they want one with S/N apparently. Im afraid i’ve been replaced by that saint..”

Solomon and Simeon’s face turn into faces of empathy while Luke’s turned quite sour

As Simeon came closer to me and pulled me close into a hugged he mumbles out a comforting phrase

“Whatever happens MC, you’ll always be welcome at the purgatory hall.”

The sentence made my stomach overflow with butterflies. I happily hug back, quickly accepting the purgatory hall as my new and improved home.

idk if u know him but i just found out that technoblade has cancer and now im really sad but it did get me a lil curious to see a small corpse x reader scenario or headcanons where reader announces they have cancer in the midst of playing with corpse and their friends on stream?

Sorry for the long wait dear but here is your request finally fulfilled. Because of my long queue I decided to go for headcanons and I hope you don't mind. If you want a full fic of this concept don't hesitate to let me know ~ XOXO, Vy 💕

Streamer gang & Reader (Gender Neutral)

TW: Mentions of suffering from cancer, Mentions of hospital visits and hospital treatment

- You had been running late for the stream you and the crew had arranged a few days prior - Because of certain problems with the system at you hospital, you had to attend your appointment that day instead of the day before, the timing clashing a bit with the timing of the stream - You sent Rae a quick text that you'd be late for the event, hoping she wouldn't ask why - And luckily she didn't - Truth be told, it's not like you were going to extreme lengths to hide your illness, you just didn't want you friends seeing you differently - Still, however, you were planning to tell them sooner or later - You always made up scenarios in your head of how it would go and only in a few were your news accepted lightly - You hated that you had to risk all those other, far less fortunate alternatives, but it was what it was and you had zero control of how they’d react so you were practically helpless in that field - That being said, you just let out a sigh every time your mind started going down that route - “Hey guys, sorry I’m late. The hospital messed up my appointment which was supposed to be YESTERDAY. So shout out to them, you guys suck. Just kidding, y’all keep me alive.” - Your friends chuckled at your comment, paying no mind to it as anything but a joke - “Time you switch hospitals then.” Toast nudges you jokingly - “Oh trust me, bro, that would be hella more complicated than just making appointments in my local one. All my paperwork, records, medical history, everything’s there. I can just about imagine how much of it would be lost if I moved.” - Corpse scoffs, amused, “Damn, you make it sound like you’re in and out of the hospital more than I am.” - You playfully roll your eyes even though he can’t see me, “Yeah, well having cancer does that to a person.” - The call goes quiet for a few moments, making you think back to what you just said, turning pale as a ghost, all you blood running cold - “Fuck-” Corpse is the first one to speak up, “That’s fucking horrible.” - “Why didn’t you tell us?” Rae follows him up, voice equally as concerned as Corpse’s, both of them clearly rattled by your confession - As is the rest of the game lobby - You fidget with your hands, your eyes stinging with sudden hot tears that are threatening to spill but you refuse to let them - The last thing you were expecting when imagining the aforementioned scenarios was crying - You thought you had come to terms with it long ago to the point where you can even joke about it but turns out you were wrong - “I-” You begin to speak but stutter because of the knot in your throat, “I didn’t want you guys to...pity me or see me any differently. I-..I wouldn’t be able to stand even you treating me like I’m fragile and overthinking everything you say in my presence.” - Your response is answered by another moment of silence before your racing mind is put to a slight ease by Corpse’s voice travelling through your headset - “Nothing will change, Y/N.” He says, tone still shaky but at least steadier than before, “You’re still the most badass impostor among us.” He pauses, “Pun was not intended, but I truly mean it.” - “Yeah, you’re still the same and so are we, this changes nothing.” Toast says reassuringly. - “However!” Rae interrupts, causing your heart to drop, “Do you promise to never again keep us in the dark about things going on in your life? We’re your friends and we wanna be there for you, don’t keep our hands tied.” - Your heart rose and dropped yet again but did so under the effect of a completely different emotion than before - joy - The tears prickling your eyes are now happy tears, ones you hadn’t let out in years - “I promise.” You say with a sniffle, “And one more thing...” - “Yeah?” Corpse says - “Thank you.”

[team-cap-for-the-win]

Hi so i wanted to say few things just to get it out of my system.(im new to tumblr dont kno how this works whtvr)

i hate it when people put steve in this bubble of perfection. And i dont mean people who make heart eyes and claim steve is the perfect human being. The people whom im talking about is the ones who demand and expect steve to be that way, when he clearly never claimed he is perfect. When i put myself in steve's shoes, i realize how goddamn frustrating it'd be. People would be waiting for him to make a mistake so that they can prove he is this horrible human being(or at least a flawed person, which is such a high standard) people are allowed to have flaws and make mistakes bc it's in human nature and in steve's case i never see people realize it's like he has to be perfect bc hey he's captain america. I feel this way strongly specially in avengers 2012 when tony says steve is gonna do smt wrong and it's gonna blow up in his face AND he's gonna be there when it happens. Like tony WANTS steve to make a mistake so that he can watch and enjoy it(why? Bc of his unsolved daddy issues). It applies to the fandom too. Tony attacks bucky but hey, it's justified bc, tony creates ultron BUT!!! it!s again justified bc reasons(traumatized, ptsd,cares about his friends etc.). Wanda did such and such and such but it's ok to make mistakes. Tony shot sam but his friend was injured. Especially when you point these to t*ny st*rk stans theyr like: can't you just accept that some characters can be flawed make mistakes and move on!!!

But when it comes to steve and what happened in siberia people r like:HoW dARe STEvE MAke a miStAKe ??!! HE iS a HyPOcriTe, a tWo FaCEd BaSTard! HE DESERVES DEATHHHHH!

thank u for coming to my ted talk jkskdjdj i always wanted to say that.

HELLO THERE!! YES, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!

First of all, welcome to tumblr! It's nice to see new Steve fans coming in :D I think you're gonna get the hang of it soon!

And yeah, I've made and reblogged many posts about this topic in the past. For some reason, people put Steve on a really high pedestal and he's not allowed to make mistakes because he's either a) perfect, and that means a mary sue, or b) the devil incarnate that is the root of all issues and the MCU. You can't have it both ways, guys.

The thing that upsets me the most is that yes, Steve made a mistake in Civil War by not telling Tony, but he not only regrets it, he also tries to own up to it, and apologises to Tony, which is something Tony has never done ever. And even then, people dunk on his apology letter for being badly written or not considerate or something.

It's just this incredibly high standard that he has to constantly live up to, and the moment he steps out of line, the fandom is ready to crucify him. It is very, very annoying. Thankfully, this side of the fandom has died out a lot, I think it experienced a high when Civil War came out. And then again with Endgame, and that hate is still around, but what can we do? Make good posts about Steve, since that's all we have left...

On that topic! In my opinion, it would be interesting to me if we were to translate this trend into the MCU (in fanfiction form, of course! Don't know if you read that sort of thing, but bear with me). That means: what if the people in the MCU act and treat Steve like the stans do? How many of them view him as perfect Captain America without looking at Steve Rogers? And how long can he go on like that, trying to live up to that title, and not fail or disappoint anyone? Steve is a character that has very often had a dichotomy between himself and his superhero persona, as can be seen in the comics. There were times he gave up the mantle, even going as far as claiming that: "It is time for Captain America to die, so that Steve Rogers can live."

Why am I telling you all this? Well, I would love to see more stories explore just how much pressure is put on him, and how he still endures it and doesn't give up. Additionally, we could have other characters realise what's going on, notice how hard he's pushing himself, talk about it, and support him when they find out just how unhappy he is, how out of sync he is with, well, being Steve.

If there was one thing missing in the MCU, it was more stress put on the distinction between Steve and Cap. I would have loved to see more of that, in canon or otherwise.

Anyway. I've been rambling for a while now and I hope you liked my idea, because in my opinion taking this bad faith reading and turning into something nice and thoughtful is the best way to combat these sorts of opinions ;)

Once again, welcome to tumblr, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy your stay here :D

hey, someone who hasn’t watched 4th season yet cos idk where it is (from Canada) should I watch it? been keeping up with tea and how salty the mlb fandom has gotten (not u) but lately become unsure if I should :/ also any suggestions abt where to watch?

miraculous.to is the website if you decide to watch! they have all episodes of the show and are the source i go to for live streaming of episodes as well.

honestly, it really depends - i personally enjoyed (fully or almost fully) like 5 episodes at most and i pushed through the parts i disliked in a hope of a pay-off i don't think i'll get. but that's me! i know that a lot of people enjoyed watching it, so that's not the right way to figure it out.

first things first, it's a huge tone shift. episodes are far less sunny and comfortable, instead they are chasing drama and angst. gone is the homey feeling the earlier seasons gave us. it's the first season that attempts to do a cohesive narrative, so the show has moved on from the episodic format. the pacing is often awkward - the first half is too slow in comparison to the second half, which is universally accepted as having pacing issues. there's a lot of plot convenience that tends to be unbelievable/annoying. but personally, even though i disliked it, i'm grateful for it because i think the show stopped beating around the bush about what intentions it has and what direction is taking, something that was unclear before.

i think the main idea behind this season is ladybug's new position as a guardian and the shifts that come with that. she's building her team of superheroes and the introduction of them + the kwamis take up a lot of screentime. the romance, with the exception of a few episodes, is barely there; this is marinette's Leadership season, which is conveyed through episodes having way more akumatized villains or sentimonster villains than before. imho, this season has felt more like superhero media than any romance media, so if that's up your alley, you'll probably like it. there is an emphasis on the battles, on hawk moth getting stronger, on the main heroes powering up or receiving new looks, on the temporary heroes, on unifications. i jokingly began calling it the Akuma Show lol. that part was never exciting to me - i am strictly a feelings and romance gal - but if you prefer it over the romance, then you'll enjoy the season. there are definitely still slice-of-life episodes like in the previous seasons, but they often got salted on for being boring or underwhelming, so once again it depends. did you enjoy befana or bakerix?

if you have a huge adrien bias that trumps anything else you enjoy about the show, then you'll most likely hate this season. if you are a chloé stan, don't hold your breath. if you are an alya stan, she gets some cool moments and has an increased plot relevance, but in the end you realize she served as a plot device, which imo isn't very good. if your favorite side is ladynoir or simply love their 'us-against-the-world' + complete trust dynamic, then that's going to slowly erode and likely won't ever come back. honestly, i think the only people who are completely happy with this season are the marinette stans and the love square fans who are willing to accept anything as long as their ship happens.

the main thing for me is that this season removed any chance of adrien having agency in his own story and turned him into the Damsel In Distress/Love Interest trope, which i dislike. there is also a lot of interplay with his cousin félix, who appears in three episodes but quickly became the most interesting character of the season, and there is a loooot of sentimonster theory shit that goes down. so as someone who is a very hardcore adrien enjoyer, this season will be my last because i dislike what is happening with his character + am whelmed by the lack of romance or think it's poorly executed + am personally not here for superficial girl power + certain episodes send bad messages imho.

that being said! i definitely take this way too seriously so for someone sane and normal it should be fine lol. for some of the overly invested/emotional folks, this season has been a deal-breaker. but as pure entertainment, without any stan biases or expectations of cohesive show theming, i think it does its job pretty well - there are benefits to chasing shock value! a lot happens that doesn't necessarily matter as, say, a long character arc/season arc, but it is entertaining, like enjoyable filler.

my favorite episodes of the season are psycomedian, glaciator 2 and gabriel agreste, all of which should be able to be watched as stand-alone eps and are imo fantastic. glaciator 2 especially is like marichat fanfic dream. they're worth it, i think.

so... i tried to help, i hope i did, but imho the enjoyment of this season strictly depends on what you like about ml. some parts get turned into a grotesque – and some get strengthened – but there IS a huge shift that isn't pleasant for many.

so i was looking through my travesty of a wip folder and realized i now have both the time and brainspace to finish all these fics i've started. here's kind of a rough queue of what i'm working on:

always be closing mdzs/cql, wangxian, banker au

i posted the first two chapters a year ago right before i really got depressed and decided to pick it back up. thankfully i wrote out a pretty in-depth outline so i remember where i was going with it. there'll be 9ish? chapters, posted every other week or so. i just posted the third chapter yesterday. i know the first couple chapters are dense with banking jargon but that'll lighten up after chapter 4.

light saezuru, doumeki/yashiro, actor au

i realized i had like 20k+ of this written and it was basically finished? i don't know what happened. it's a fic where everything's the same except yashiro is an actor (with ties to the yakuza, but who refuses to join them). picking it up again has given me an excuse to reread the manga, which, even after months of reading manga on a daily basis, remains my favorite of all of them. this fic will have 5-6 chapters and post twice a week, starting next week probably.

black-eyed mdzs/cql, chengqing, college au, femdom

i've thought about this fic nonstop since i started writing it. i put it down because of school and because it was getting too big for the amount of attention i wanted to give it. wen qing is in med school with wei wuxian as a roommate; jiang cheng is an undergraduate crashing on their couch. poorly negotiated bdsm ensues. it's a one-shot right now but i definitely need to make it into a multi-chap. no idea how long it'll be, 20k? 30k? hopefully i can keep it a reasonable length. there's really not a lot of plot.

a standing engagement epilogue hunger games, odesta, alt canon

this is another one that's basically written but it needs some heavy revision. it'll be a one-shot, around 10k, and i hope to god i kept good notes because it involves a lot of canon references that were fresh in my mind after my hunger games reread but which i've surely forgotten by now. ASE is still a fic i'm really proud of, and i'm looking forward to finally giving annie and finnick the happy ending they deserve.

untitled potn fic painter of the night, nakyum/seungho, patreon au

in this fic, seungho is nakyum's top patreon supporter, which is, i know, ridiculous, but it's been a lot of fun to write, especially since we're going through so much angst in canon right now. (please, byeonduck, i am begging u, give us some comfort for the hurt.) it'll be a multi-chap i think but i don't know how long yet. potn is up there with saezuru in my favorites list and i just want everyone to read it and scream about with me. i am wrecked by it every friday morning.

once all this is done i really do want to write that dog hua cheng fic i tweeted about, but there's no telling what'll happen between now and then. if i get accepted into residencies i'll have to start working on ofic. if i get sucked into another obsession i'll probably start writing something new. anyway i'm very looking forward to being able to participate in fandom again after this past year and a half of setting it aside.
