#i am in love with the results ahahahaha!

[spectrum-studios]

Made this.

@clockwoodowner look at this master piece!

[ticklish-n-stuff]

Hello! I LOVE your writing! If you're still accepting prompts for tickletober, may I please request (bsd) Lee! Fyodor and ler! Dazai (romantic preferably, but whatever's easier for you) with day 18, magic?

Dazai can cancel Fyodor's ability, making him the only one who can touch Fyodor without dying. I have a headcanon that every time Dazai touches Fyodor in a certain, very light way, Fyodor will feel a tingly sensation wherever Dazai touches him as a result of their abilities interacting with each other. Usually, it's just a bit tingly, but it gets very ticklish when Dazai does things like poking, rubbing, tracing etc.

When the two are having a sappy romantic moment (not often, let's be honest XD), Dazai will be a little shit and place his hands on Fyodor's neck/jaw before kissing him, making Fyodor all giggly and flustered. For a more platonic scenario, Dazai is (just like before XD) being a little shit and he thinks it's funny when Fyodor loses his cool. So he quickly grabs Fyodor's hands, causing Fyodor to do a full-body shiver and try to yank his hand back, but since Dazai is stronger than him, he's stuck there, forced to endure the tickles until Dazai thinks he's had enough.

Sorry if this is long, feel free to decline. Have an awesome day!

Tickletober day #18: Magic

Hsjdhskhdjsh I hope this is okay, writing a russian rat and suicide maniac together is quite challenging and after the latest season, I have a hard time visualizing them as romantic partners

I am a Dazai x Sigma believer ✌️

___________________________________________

Fyodor x Dazai (interpret as you wish)

Lee: Fyodor

Ler: Dazai

Warnings: Tickles!

___________________________________________

“You’re not so scary now, are you?~” Dazai teased, having pulled Fyodor onto his lap with ease and more importantly, without getting obliterated in the process thanks to his special ability.

“And look, I can even touch you all I want~” and just like that, Dazai’s hands started to playfully roam all over Fyodors torso.

Being touched like this was foreign to him, to say the least, but he didn’t plan on it to feel so damn ticklish!

“Oh, what’s this? Did I hit a sensitive spot?~” Dazai whispered teasingly close to the russian male’s ear, causing him to jolt upright.

“Tch, I don’t get sensitive” Fyodor let out a huff, trying to cover up the laughter that threatened to spill out of his lips. How foolish of him to think that Dazai would just leave it there, it is Dazai, after all. He thrives on other’s misery.

“Then surely you won’t mind if I do this, right?~” there was an evil smirk on Dazai’s face as his bandaged fingers found their way under Fyodor’s shirt, making sure to touch every inch of his torso.

“Mph!” his eyes instantly shut tight at the growing sensation, trying to squirm away from the offender, but he was too weak when in such a vulnerable pisition.

“C’mon, y’know you wanna laugh~” Dazai’s index finger poked it’s way to Fyodor’s navel, earning a startled gasp from the latter.

“Gah! Pfft! Ahahahaha! Dazai nohoho!” the damn finally broke and Fyodor’s laughter echoed across the room. His pale cheeks quickly turning tomato red as he tried and failed to control his reactions. How embarrassing! Someone so feared being brought down with something so childish, and yet, it didn’t feel all that bad to be touched so gently. Not like Fyodor would admit it out loud, but knowing Dazai, he already has an idea.

“Better get comfy ‘cause I won’t stop for a looong while!~” and thus, Dazai kept softly yet consistently tickling all over Fyodor’s belly and sides. Feeling like he was on cloud 9 for hearing such genuine laughter for once from this man. Even if neither voiced their enjoyment of this moment, it was pretty clear to anyone the giddy expressions they both wore.

Update: After doing a very crack rp of me playing as Fyodor, I can say I believe in FyoZai love LMAO

It’s so funny how Chayanne the egg is cursed with the 4th wall breaking no matter which admin plays him AHAHAHAHA. From being terrorized by Phil for being Cucurucho and Challulah, being feared by citizens prone to commiting illegal acts, being bothered by other members for cucurucho related stuff, being called “boss” by his egg siblings and now Etoiles teasing him because he beat him as the Code. Our little egg has so many part time jobs my gosh. He now also took on the role of babysitter for Tubbo lol. Anything to support his other poor foolish skull headed father. Give our poor little egg a break, justice for Chayanne.

I think all three admins who mainly play chayanne, QNPC01, 02, and 06 should all be considered main admins at this point. They all suffer the same fate of the non existent 4th wall, they are literally just the same egg lol. I have a headcannon that the difference in personality (def not admins wink wink), are just a result of the change in Chayanne’s environment.

When he is played by QNPC02 aka Challulah, he becomes much more mellow and less active mostly because those are moments when he is not with Tallulah. He doesn’t need to be as alert and vigilant since he doesn’t need to protect her. He doesn’t jump and run around because without Tallulah, Phil can speedrun his tasks better and doesn’t get bored as much. He also talks more because between both of them, He says he’s not good with words so Tallulah is the one who does most of the talking. When Tallulah is not around he has to carry the conversation more.

QNPC01 or Nussa is the og Chayanne admin and he is very much the little warrior we all know and love. He loves to cook and does the checkerboard potato crate pattern on the ground when he’s bored. QNPC06 is mostly the same but he just forgot how to speak Spanish anymore since he rarely had the chance to use it since Missa left. But Missa is back now and for sure he will teach his child Spanish again.

I think 06 has started to become Chayanne’s main admin and I am not complaining. He is doing such a good job specially because sometimes I forget that he’s not 01 until I see his username on the minimap ahaha. Even so, I’ll be lying if I say I don’t miss Nussa as Chayanne. I hope he comes back some time when he’s available. As much as I look forward to the new, refreshing, and angst loaded dynamic between Missa and 06, I wanted 01 to interact with Missa again so bad since Nussa was the one who Missa was with in the beginning and has all the memories of their time together.

BAD MEDICINE ~Infectious teachers~ [PC GAME] Kashu Remu (Chemistry) Route Translations (Part 12)

MC’s name is retained as the original MC name Kawana Hina.

* Words within ‘   ‘ are spoken in English – *Spoiler free : Translations under cut! *T/N: Also slooooowly chipping away at this. I really wanna finish this project, so I'm posting it separately from the usual queued posts

Prologue / Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 / Part 8 / Part 9 / Part 10 / Part 11 / Part 12

Hina: Haa, haa… I’ve finally gotten to school…

Hina: (He said he was going to be on the roof, right? Ahh, but I might not make it in time even if I run to the roof now!)

Hina: Sensei! Kashu-sensei!!! Where!? Where are you!?

Hina: Sensei…

———————————————

Kashu: Strange, isn’t it? Someone who was just within arm’s reach moments ago is now somewhere far, far, away. 

Kashu: Yeah… I didn’t quite understand what loneliness was the last time I said that I was “lonely”…

Kashu: But, perhaps I was… I may have just been lonely at the time.

———————————————

Hina: ……!

Hina: Where are you!? Sensei…!?

Kashu: ……

Hina: (There’s someone lying there… Don’t tell me… Kashu-sensei!?)

———————————————

Hina: S-Sensei!? W-Wha… Why… Why did it come to this!?

Kashu: ……

Hina: (There’s blood… It’s soaking through his white lab coat. No. No, this can’t be happening!)

Hina: I didn’t make it… even though I ran here as fast as I could. I didn’t want you to die!

Hina: I told you that you weren’t alone, didn’t I!?

Hina: I don’t want you to die! Sensei!

Hina: Please wake up!!! Open your eyes! Please!

———————————————

Kashu: …Pftt.

Hina: …Wha?

Kashu: Heh heh. Ahahahaha!

Hina: Sensei…?

Kashu: Ahaha~

Hina: K-Kashu-sensei…? You… You'realive?

Kashu: Of course I am.

Hina: Huh…!? Wait, but, huh? The blood…?

Hina: Are you a ghost… No, a zombie…? No way, right?

Kashu: Ahaha, what are you talking about? You really say the craziest things sometimes~

———————————————

Kashu: Hehehe~ You do know that entering school grounds during the night is a violation of the rules, right?

Kashu: Oh dearie me, you broke the school rules yet again~ How naughty~

Hina: …Huh?

Kashu: If so, then it looks like you’re in for a treat! It’s off-hours now, but should we just do it here~?

Hina: S-Sensei? What do you… wha?

Hina: (He didn’t die… but now he’s trying to enforce the school rules? Wait, but why…? Why is he doing this?)

Kashu: Ahaha. Seems like this experiment is a success♪ You’re a real interesting one, and your reactions are all within my calculations~

Kashu: Looks like it was worthwhile to go through all the extra preparations.

Kashu: Mmhm, I’ve been reminded again that we should all spare no effort when it comes to the pre-preparations before carrying out an experiment, no matter what the experiment may be~

Hina: Experiment… preparations…?

Kashu: Yup~♪

Hina: You mean…

Hina: Everything that just happened was a lie?

Kashu: It’s not a lie. It’s an experiment!

Kashu: Ehehe. Thank you for helping me with this experiment.

Kashu: Thanks to that, I now know how you’ll react when someone broaches the topic of suicide.

Hina: ……!

Kashu: Ahaha, surprised? I mean, of course you are. Who wouldn’t?

Hina: Why would you…

Kashu: Empathy is a powerful thing, don’t you think? It makes you jump over fences and violate rules despite the terrifying punishment that awaits.

Kashu: You’re really just so, so, interesting♪

Hina: (What…?)

Hina: (So the deceased loved one he mentioned earlier and everything he’d cooked up earlier was all a big fat lie?)

Hina: (All, just to trick me into this?)

Hina: Why…?

Hina: (I have loads of questions for him, but I can’t bring myself to voice them…)

Kashu: Well~ I couldn’t exactly get proper results if you didn’t full-heartedly believe me, right?

Hina: What about the blood then? Is it there just so that I’d believe that you were dead?

Kashu: Yup, of course~♪ I couldn’t use real blood, of course, so I used a harmless component that contained iron oxide to fake it~

Hina: ……

Hina: (I see. So I’m just a test subject for him to obtain valuable data from in his eyes.)

Hina: (It doesn’t matter if my worry for him is real… because none of it matters to him.)

Hina: (He was just recording my reactions as data after all… That’s just…)

Kashu: Hm? Hmmmm? Oh my, my, my~?

Kashu: Why are you crying?

Kashu: The experiment was a success, and I’ve managed to record aaaaall the data, so cheer up! Yeah?

Hina: …

Kashu: Oh, but that’s also important info to collect~ I’ll have to make sure to record it well~

Kashu: Penning it down ♪

Hina: …!

Hina: (He doesn’t even notice my true concern for him!)

Kashu: What an interesting reaction. Oh! Rightー

Kashu: Should I really try dying in front of you this time?

Hina: Wha-

Kashu: I’m getting the urge to see what your reaction’s gonna be if I do~ Don’t you think it’s gonna be real interesting to see?

Kashu: Oh, wait~ I won’t be able to record the data down if I die though… Whatever should I do?

Kashu: Looks like I’ll have to ask someone else to take down the results. Still… I won’t be able to analyze it myself if that happens~

Kashu: Hmm, what should I do? It’s definitely a hard choice…

Hina: Eno…

Kashu: Uno?

Hina: Enough!!

Kashu: Heh?

Hina: I was seriously worried about you! I ran all the way here because… what if you really died!?

Hina: And to be told that it was all just an experiment…? That what I did was just the results of your experiment and nothing else…?

Hina: And yet, you joke about dying just because you find it interesting? You truly don’t care about anyone but yourself!

Hina: Damn you!

Kashu: Why are you mad, sacrifice-chan? Hey! Hey!!!

———————————————

Hina: …*Sigh*…

Hina: I ended up yelling at him… which… might not have been a good idea…

Hina: Still, there’s no way I could take it standing without doing anything. I was seriously worried, and yet it was all… just a lie…?

Hina: My feelings are just results to be recorded in his eyes… It really hurts to have that fact thrown at me all of a sudden.

Hina: (But…)

Hina: (I’m sure he doesn’t know the real reason behind my anger.)

Hina: *Sigh*…

[katyspersonal]

AHHHH

I FORGOT IT WAS YOU WHO WAS OBSESSED WITH ALBERICH!!

IM SORRY!!! I GET IT MIXED UP!!!

or do you both love him

I forget.

ANYWAYS GIVE ME ALL YOUR SILLY THOUGHTS ON HIM YOU MUPPET!!

AHAHAHAHA well it is hard to tell... You see, yeah, me and @heraldofcrow are both his fans... But also not fsdhhfdhfds

(fhsdhfdhfds JHFSDHGFSD OKAY OKAY LOOK Crow sorry idk how to make this meme aroace just imagine that you have a wholesome sleep-over after a night of bad movies and yet you still wish it was Luther LOL fhsdhdfs)

________________

AHAHAHAHAHA okay to the topic now

❤️ Basically, we co-share the headcanons with @val-of-the-north since he learned of the character sooner than I did, yet I was the one who got obsessed xd You can see repetition of a lot of it here: ( x )

❤️ Basically, I think he is having a similar process going on in his body as what Azur and Lusat faced! Only with Blood Glintstone instead of more average "cosmic" one! I see it especially supported by how his headgear looks when altered:

Like... Just TELL me that his upper half of the head is not turning into a glintstone at this rate fdshfhdsfd But I assume similar process is going all over his body, especially his arms. Again, similar to the brothers!

❤️ I think that he drops not his own tongue upon defeat, but rather, he cut off Ensha's tongue for talking shit about him!! Ensha is stated to not only be an unspeaking character, but also have weird 'golden' bones, whereas Alberich is said to have been driven mad by jeering tongues... The item he drops is called 'taunter's tongue' and it IS golden colored, and there is nothing to say the rest of Ensha's body (especially entrails) could not have turned golden as well... Basically, I think it was Ensha who got screwed up fdshfhd But I also fully support Alberich xd

❤️ Yeah, correct, Val infected me with 'Alberich is Gideon's son' headcanon... Which would mean Alberich is at least half-Nox! ( x )

That makes me think that in younger years, Alberich used to have yellow irises, that only turned red as the result of his sorcery.... ...until he simply lost his eyes. lol.

❤️ With that said, of course, Alberich can perceive things perfectly without seeing them! Despite upper half of his face growing bloody Glintstones and him losing normal eyesight, he can still perfectly perceive any creature that has blood in it nearby. Think of a "vision" of bats, or more close to home - vision of Choir, Vileblood guards, etc. Naturally, anyone without blood, or more specifically, without red blood cells, would evade him... Basically, Alberich can't "see" crabs.

❤️ He DOES have vampiric behaviour and features. He will gladly not only use blood of the murdered for more Blood Glintstones, but also to add extra flavour to his tea fsdhfhsd However, he doesn't always have to kill someone. Sometimes, drawing their blood suffices.

❤️ Val was right, lol; Alberich fell for the trap of being able to do any sort of atrocity for as long as he could punish himself for doing so with religious self-flagellation -_- If you ever wronged him - it is a MUCH better idea to let him "punish" you for that, than to resist and become his victim. At least, you will survive the punishment. Like Val said and I seconded, he has a twisted idea on sin + punishment.

❤️ I am not actually as sure at the idea of Alberich having hated Nepheli as Val! I do think the two had a slight age gap, so when Nepheli was a child, Alberich was a teen. But I personally see the two as having had some good bonds as involuntarily siblings! Especially since Alberich was yet to discover the Blood Star as even a concept in his teen years! He however already was fascinated with grim, dark, bloody concepts... So when Nepheli would murder a scary monster and bring it's eye/fang/blood/etc as a trophy - Alberich was sure to find a use for it! He was just a slighly-asshole type of an older brother for her, although he could tell Gideon valued her for merely being easier to control -_-" (we also kinda hate Gideon on this blog fhsdhfd /j)

❤️ He DOES have severe daddy issues, though. That I fully accept. Whenever he accomplishes something important, he does think of how stupid Gideon would feel for not having trusted him.

❤️ He will often speak to himself, and they are some creepy things. He gained his nickname thanks to people who'd overhear him doing so.

❤️ Absolutely agreed that his "politeness" is more often than not a mask. You can only learn more of his true personality by talking to him for more than 2 minutes. But Alberich never counts on a long conversation, all too comfortable being by himself and the "revelation" he discovered. He will kiss lady's hand, though, unless she is like Dolores (masculine) or like Nepheli (feral and a warrior).

❤️ He has sharpened fingernails, though, and enjoys stabbing his own palms to extract blood and cast lesser blood briar sorceries. He will, of course, enjoy scratching his "wrongdoers" with them as soon as he could corner them. He is also especially powerful for a few days every month for no reason in particular

______

❤️ + Cut content headcanon! (is this even a thing...?)

The images of his set pieces picture his blood Glintstones having some green part to them. This made me think of Sellen - another sorcerer notorious for her sacrifices of other people in her pursuit! That made me wonder if notably green Glintstones Sellen has emboldened in her crown are of the same nature as Alberich's bloody sacrifices. More specifically; if Glintstones of Alberich are simply more grim and "progressive" nature of Sellen's green Glintstones.

Checking of Alberich's set on my player character unfortunately proven that 'green' part of Glintstones on Alberich's set is simply a design error... maybe? They show up on item image but not on the character. It made me hesitant on the headcanon, but I decided it was still worth a mention!

_________

Basically, I REALLY love this character, actually!!! I became obsessed with him from the very first day I even learned who he WAS, because the vibe of insanity + blood appeals to me like nothing else! He falls for the trope of a character that witnessed something not meant for humans and went mad that I LOVE, yet he feels so... harmless? So individualistic and genuine? I love that he minds his own business in pursuit, rather than deciding for the rest of the humanity what is good for them. Not counting his unfortunate victims for "bloody sacrifices"... But I feel that he only sacrifices people who were 'bad' and actually committed something evil; Alberich considers his actions as doing them a favour in atoning for their sins. He reminds me of my headcanons on Mic0lash a bit, with my headcanons that Mic0lash believes he is doing his victims a favour, "kindly" letting them be a part of something bigger. Likewise, Alberich believes he is "saving" the sinners. And if he went too far...... right, he simply punishes himself with the briars for that. xd

Thank you for the ask!!

Newish Comics:

Taking a break from ploughing through Santa appearances for the week’s comics.

Batman & Robin #3: ahahahaha “dedicated instructors who showed me the deep knowledge of the world”.

Damian. Sweetheart. You were TEN. I have no doubt you learnt a lot of complex things but also firstly you didn’t synthesise everything and secondly you simply didn’t have the TIME to learn ‘everything’.

That done, Bruce please explain socialisation and ‘working on a civilian cover’ to Damian, so he will go to school. Remember civilian covers? And secret identities?

Ooh Man-Bats! (I’m sorry, I’m here in this book for the Bruce and Damian moments, but I don’t actually mind the concept of Shush and White Rabbit? I like that White Rabbit is leaning into the Japanese aesthetics that Damian uses for his art)

Outsiders #1: I hate to say it, but my back is already up. Luke Fox, describing Kate Kane's background as "we both trained under one of the most brilliant tactical minds to ever exist" - are we talking about Jacob Kane? Because I wouldn't call him that. And I wouldn't say that Kate trained under Bruce Wayne.

Also the wig? That was originally Jacob's choice and to help with concealing her identity. If Kate actually had issues with it she would have ditched it years ago.

Not knowing fundamental basics like this about Kate is worrying me (unless there's been some retcon I haven't read yet?)

On the other hand... JENNY SPARKS SIGHTING!!! (Well, her skeleton. Apparently) JENNY MY SWEETHEART.

...I'm going to give this a go, since it's Kate and since it's MY FAVOURITE JENNY. I'm being cautious though.

Speed Force #1: oh this however is just fun vibes. I think it's our new light-hearted Flash book, with Si Spurrier doing more complex things over in Flash proper.

The Vigil #6: Ram V landed this. I still feel like all of the characters are specific commentary on other DC characters, but watching the team pull together and Castle explain what had been missed was very satisfying in that ‘heist film’ sort of scene where they flip the board and suddenly reveal what was going on.

Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #2: as this is the first Rossmo title I've seriously read, I am appreciating his art and I think getting used to it on a title where I don't have strong feelings about the characters involved will stand me in good stead.

World's Finest: Teen Titans #5: I’ve got to say, I love that the cover is a scene only tangentially related to the plot. Classic silver age vibes. This scene does not occur.

Wally! Love your snark, kid.

Garth! Surfing on/in Wally’s speed wake!

Also Dick finally decided reveal his ID.

Warlord #26: this week in Travis Morgan's adventures... DEIMOS IS BACK! Hello, Deimos! Planning to slink around evilly, are you?

Excitingly, Travis gets to fight a two-headed snake necked dragon this issue. Unfortunately this does not result in any bondage. Missed opportunity there, Grell!

This issue we are in a hidden maze temple, where they have to break apart an amulet and fit the pieces into rock niches to illuminate the way via the light bouncing. It is a VERY gaming dungeon sort of plot. However as each piece is fitted, a vision occurs. Travis is directed in how this works by a talking parrot. (A normal one, not an anthropomorphic one)

Travis sees visions of Tara but she's blaming him for betraying her, and given she was staring into a river and sighing over how much she loved and missed him last issue I think we can safely say this is a false vision. (All the visions say nasty things that mostly are guilt nightmares)

Once the maze is complete, Travis is offered the chance to gain his 'heart's desire' by stepping into the light (which has been causing all the terrible visions)

And Travis' wants to start over...so he gets transported back in time (to what looks like Neanderthal times but this IS Skartaris, it could just be last Tuesday)

[titconao3]

Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers ❤️

Thank you to @perverse-idyll for thinking of me <3

NGL, that's a tough one - both because i have, as of the time of writing, 170 published works on AO3 (how did this happen!!??), but also because, well. i am Very Bad at choosing and self-promo, so... i'll use the response i got from readers to guide me.

i've answered for HP fic then rambled about other fandoms. And now i should post this before i tweak even more, change my mind about the picks, etc.

If i stick to Harry Potter fics, i'd go with: > Realisations, because it's been recced by others (!!!), and it's first-person narrative, which is a nice challenge to write. i went into it wanting to see if i could do first-person smut, but of course it's mostly feels. If anyone had told me, back when I was still a Hogwarts student, that I’d have a crush on the one and only Severus Snape – dungeon bat, greasy git, Death Eater, etc – I would definitely have laughed. Or, more likely, screamed at you, maybe tried to hex you, and assumed you were a Voldemort supporter.

> The Box, because it's Petunia-centric and it was recced as well (!!!!!). Petunia is a fascinating character, when you take a step back from the children's book trope and try to see what made her the way she is, what would make a person become Petunia Dursley. Petunia Dursley is a sensible woman; she’s always been. She’s not the kind to get all fanciful and trust shady people, oh no. She knows only too well what happens when you do.

> Winter Bloom, written for Hoggywartyxmas for @my--witch. Severus Snape/Kingsley Shacklebolt. i aimed for both humour and feels and flirting. Features Bill Weasley, and Severus in a vintage leather jacket (art by @my--witch !). “Romantic? You’re dressed like Santa; I might be a Death Eater but even I am not that much of a pervert.”

> Fuck, Marry, Kill which got positive feedback for the humour. It's very Idiots In Love, misunderstandings galore, etc. And Firsties dedicated to their Head of House! He’s an addict, after all, like his parents before him – his father to the bottle, his mother to his father, himself to power and now to Potter. Every time Potter’s hand winds into his hair, pulls and then softens, cradles his too-sharp cheekbone and touches his too-thin lips, he can feel the sheer power in it. He could obliterate Severus, if he wished to; he will one day, either because Severus pisses him off one too many times or because he’ll realise all the reasons why this, all of this, is a terrible, terrible idea.

> The Fair - look, i managed a short fic for Snape Case! It's child Sev centric and his parents. Like i do with Petunia, i want to delve into Eileen and Tobias. We don't know much about them, but i like to think about the circumstances that made made Tobias hate magic, that led them both to neglect Severus, that resulted in what little we see of them. i like to think that they loved each other and their son, once. They feature in several of my HP works. He was still hungry afterwards, but he didn’t say anything. He’s only six, but he’s not a dunderhead! He’s heard his parents whisper angrily at each other, heard his dad ask why his mum can’t magic them some money. Every time he does, his mum shakes her head and says she can’t, and every time, his dad goes out and slams the door and comes back after Severus is in bed.

Daredevil AHAHAHAHA omg. What ship? What mood? egads, there are so many. i don't know! i wrote mostly Matt/Frank, Matt/Elektra, and Matt/Foggy.

If i may, i'll start by saying i consider what i do as event admin for @daredevilexchange, @frattweek, and @themattfogblog as work i'm proud of, even if technically they're not fics i've written (well, i did participate several times ;-).

But as for my fics... there's a lot in that fandom and i really can't pick 5, so let's go with some rare pairs, like Matt/Venom/Eddie (Snacks at the Laundromatt), or Matt/Tony Stark (Court Crush), Matt/Cap (Through Your Eyes), or Matt/Hawkeye (Hawkguy and the Devil). There's even Matt/Loki, Green Sleeves! And there's gen as well.

And actually, this is the occasion to remember @dichotomystudios, who unexpectedly passed away a year ago. Her many contributions to the fandom ranged from wonderful art, great canon knowledge, heart-warming cheerleading, dedicated work as part of the SaveDaredevil campaign... to being a friend to many in the fandom. She created three art pieces for The Littlest Catholic, a Frank/Matt fluff, angst, and humour fic featuring dollhouses. We talked a lot about it, exchanged ideas, giggled like loons... she is very missed.

For those of you struggling with Ikea furniture, may i point you to Nailed It for some Schadenfreude - but really, i wrote several Fratt fics going for the lulz (crosswords flirting, dating app adventures...), and i hope readers enjoy them. Also, there's a dog in the Lucy series, and a cat in a fic titled (i kid you not) The Fratt Cat. Yes, i am good at titles. Oh! And the Dog POV fic: A Good Dog !

Let's also mention Crossing the Styx, which was a writing collaboration with @pixelbypixelfanfic. i don't think i could have a better experience with anyone else <3 we wrote this over... oh, over more than a year, and i think in the final result it's really hard to say who wrote what.

There's some more MCU/Marvel stuff, mostly Loki-centric, some shippy like Frayed Threads (Loki/Steve Rogers, there's not enough of you) and some not like in the religion of the insecure (i must be myself) (mentioning that one because lookit, i too can do the all-lowercase song lyrics with brackets title thing!).

i was lucky to collaborate with several artists who are also friends in the general Marvel fandom - @rrr-nightingale and Iithril, looking at you <3 - and @metaderivative podficced several works, including the Dog POV one :D

i dabbled in other fandoms (my What We Do In The Shadows fics are more feelsy than humour, with bonus focus on Zoroastrianism for the second one), the Good Omens one is pre-TV show and not vibing with today's fandom, we should simply forget about the old, old Star Trek TOS stuff, and then there's the whole Lucifer catalogue. i started writing again because of that fandom, but it's also one of the few that i've left behind, for Reasons. However, out of the *checks* 52 fics i wrote there, there's also some fluff, some angst, some smut, some plot. Even the de-aging plots, the mega depression fics, the Latin titles, the let's think real hard about death fics, the bodies and sex are hard omg fics, mixing humour and feels, having religious themes (Lucifer angsts about being Lucifer! Matt Murdock decides to become a monk!!) etc. I did start several trends of mine there ;-)

Sorry for the ramblings; i figured you wanted only the HP stuff but i wasn't 100% sure. i have a small enough number of HP fic out for now so it's easier to pick 5, but for the rest? ...nah, can't °_°;;;

And if it's not too much trouble, I'll just go ahead and re-post my Amitie essay here!

In my Arle propaganda post from last round, I said said that Arle wasn't the living embodiment of friendship because that was another Puyo Puyo character.

I also said that her characterization was inconsistant when Compile was passing the cast around different writers that didn't really share notes with each other. One writer in particular tended to portray Arle as clumsy, cheery, innocent, and full of self-doubt.

It's easy to get the impression that when Sega took over the series, they looked at this and thought, "This is a good character, but it's not Arle." So when they kicked off their own setting, they decided to make their new heroine be like that from the get-go.

That heroine is Amitie. Her dream is to be a wonderful sorceress. And I love her to pieces.

Personality-wise, Amitie's most prominant feature by leaps and bounds is her cheerfulness. She's a bright ball of sunshine that lights up the room wherever she goes. She greets everyone with a smile and boundless, infectuous energy and a heart the size of Mercury. Her boundless enthusiasm means that, no matter how much she struggles, she never gets down for very long. She'll just try again! And she will try to be your friend, frame one.

She does struggle a lot, though. While never made explicit for numerous reasons, it's pretty clear Amitie suffers from ADHD. She has a hard time with studying and focusing in class. She's flighty, gets easily confused, and sometimes draws strange conclusions. For instance, when she's told of an impending disaster in the book Sig's Secret:

Or in Fever 2, when she comes face-to-face with her demon-possessed classmate:

(For reference, the little purple thing coming from the book is Klug's disembodied soul. As you can see, he's depicted with the same kind of glasses currently on his body.)

(Also worth noting is, Amitie, despite initially not wanting to deal with Klug's nonsense in this game, ends up being the only one in their grade that actually wants to save him from his arrogance.)

She's also clumsy and accident-prone. Here's Another excerpt from the Sig's Secret book, where she and her friends are learning how to bake cakes:

And this extends to her magic, as well. Admittedly, I don't know if the following comics are considered canon, but they are largely in character. Note that both comics are read top to bottom:

As a result, despite her bubbly demeanor, she has low self-esteem. She blames herself for when things go wrong in Sig's Secret. In another novel, Everyone's Dreams Coming True?!, she's heartbroken when Arle and Ringo respond dismissively to how she describes her of a "wonderful sorceress," and concludes that they don't believe in her. Then in the next chapter, she has an anxiety attack over the thought that her friends might reject her idea for solving the current dilema, just like they seemingly rejected her greatest ambition.

And then there was that time where Amitie almost lost her soul to a doll that preyed on her insecurities.

Living Doll: "No, Amitie. I understand." Amitie: "Huh?" Living Doll: "You are trying so hard. You are such a good child. I can tell." Amitie: "Huh… You think so!?" Living Doll: "You try so hard, yet that Raffina and Klug treat you horribly. How could they say such awful things to you?" Amitie: "Huh? W-Wait, um, um, like, yeah, those two can be a bit blunt and mean, but they're really not bad people!" Living Doll: "But I would never say such awful things to you." […] Living Doll: "Oh, oh… I am so sorry. But, you see, that is just how much I care about you, my friend. I never would say anything bad about you. I understand how you feel so well. I am your only real friend, you know." Amitie: "My… real friend?" Living Doll: "Yes… Ahahaha. So let's stay together forever and ever…ahahahaha…" Amitie: "…Yeah… you're right… you're my… friend…" […] Living Doll: "Amitie… Amitie… How are you feeling? Have you calmed down now?" Amitie: "Yeah… I can't really focus, but… I'm okay… Thank you for worrying about me." Living Doll: "Of course I worry. I am your true friend, after all… ahaha…" Amitie: "You're right… You're my only…"

Wacky happy fun puzzle game series, everybody!

(Amitie also blames herself for what she does when being manipulated. Just to drive the point home)

And yes, Klug bullied her a lot. Raffina did too. The former describes her grades as "garbage" to her face, and the latter christens her their class's "Princess of the Perpetual F."

(not to diverge too much from the actual topic, but I think the reason Raffina considers Amitie to be her rival is that to her, Amitie represents succeeding through natural talent. Raffina believes in grit and hard work. She has next to no magic ability, while Amitie overflows with it. Raffina feels she has to prove that overcoming anything is possible if you try hard enough)

But Amitie cherishes the friends she has— Sig, Arle, Ringo, Lidelle, and yes, even Klug and Raffina.

And they cherish her too, even if some of them struggle to admit it.

Even the Puyo Tetris games show the effects of her infectuous friendship! In both games, Amitie sees the most beligerent, rude, and melodramatic member of the SS Tetra, concludes that she's silently suffering by how utterly lonely she feels (correctly, I might add), and immediately latches onto Ess to give her as much support as possible.

Because Amitie is more perceptive than she gives herself credit for. Even if she's not always able to follow the details, she's pretty good at figuring things out. She understood Ess's loneliness. She eventually learns how to read past Sig's lack of expression. Amitie even gets Satan to admit that he's fully aware Arle's not into him.

I could keep going, but honestly? If you're not convinced by now, I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Also I'm almost at the limit.

Amitie is a friend to everyone. She's done everything for her friends, even saved their lives from calamities, because she cares so very much. She's gonna be a wonderful sorceress when she grows up~

(and there's the limit)

This poll got too heated last time. Cruel language and blotting got involved, so I'll give it a fresh start

Please don't let it get that bad again.

this might be too late to still be included but i still wanted to offer my opinion about your questions on change in how fandom is done! sorry this ended up so long 🥴

a lot of how people approach fandom in general (& criticise/talk about how fandom is performed today) depends on how they first engaged with it.

i'm gen z, so my first "real" fandom activity was firmly on centralised fanfic sites (like The german fanfic archive, wattpad and ao3) and then on social media like twitter and recently tiktok. i think this is quite similar to how most younger folks today got into fandom.

in my experience, this way of doing fandom makes for a more passive (more consumerist than productive) fandom experience, especially in massive fandoms like HP or popular bands. it ends to be very public and open; you might even interact with official twitter accounts, maybe comment on twitch streams, etc. often, fans attach their face or at least name to their fandom activity and there is virtually no barrier of entry to the content (opposite e.g. to password-protected vintage forum fan communities)

but: my actual first experience with fandom or the core activity of fandom - expanding on existing universes - was roleplay forums in the early/mid-2010s. it wasn't (always) building on a "classic" fandom but operated in a shared universe where you HAD to create new content yourself in order for the format to work (basically LARPing but online!)

this format of forums feels very "old school fandom" (i.e. pretty private & built on personal connections to anonymous users you came to know). i think it might also be why i do fandom more actively (and am also more conscious of privacy) than many others in my age group.

at the same time, it feels like discord groups are bringing back the closed universe-feeling of old-school fandom - but in a slightly different way i can't quite articulate? in my experience, they have less emphasis on anonymity and absolutely no regard to any kind of archive function, but at least establish the boundary between fandom in- vs non-fandom out-group (including creators/objects of fandom) again.

i'm super interested in what you all have to say about this topic!

I am full-on "how do you do fellow kids"-ing you with this response, because as someone on the cusp of the generational divide I feel like I really straddle the millennial-gen z cusp, even for fandom (being that I missed the livejournal heydays and was around for infamous 2014 tumblr), but oh my god does hearing about kids getting into fandom via tiktok make me feel OLD ahahahaha.

it blows my mind, and I also find it interesting in light of debates happening on tiktok about fandom cringiness (mostly around cosplayers and the stranger things fandom, from what I've seen). for those out of the loop: the collision between fandom-goers and non-fandom-goers is continuing, in that people who don't "get" fandom are deeming those in fandom (in this case, con-goers who are REALLY into the tv show stranger things) "cringe," and it's resulting in some interesting conversations about which people get exposed to fandom and which don't.

back to your ask: the roleplaying is so interesting! I also did roleplaying (on facebook, oh how times have changed) waaaaaay back in the day. I totally feel like you're right in saying you starting with rp might've encouraged you to be more open and active!

I wholly agree that discord has abolished senses of privacy... which has some upsides, and (in my opinion) a lot of downsides. I'm of two minds on these things, because while I'm an optimist at heart, and I love making connections, I've also seen that go awry a time or two. I feel like I knew how to navigate the "old" internet really well (tell no one your name, or what country you're from, and BY GOD tell no one how old you are," but the new internet, with its radical openness (name, age, pronouns, location in bio with tons of identifying features ready for consumption), sometimes still makes me wary!

but then I'm like, oh, well, I want to connect with people... and you connect by being open with them... and it very much feels like I want to have my cake and eat it too re: what to put online. it's a weird place to navigate! all I know is that I'm grateful I'm navigating it right now as an adult, as opposed to a kid. I really feel for the young gen z'ers and gen alphas who are truly growing up in this environment. it's a convoluted one!

That's how you write a song

This is a tickle related ff, if you are not interested in it, please keep scrolling

Summary: Nefeli (17) is trying to help her older brother, Yoongi, write some lyrics but Jungkook is disturbing her

Warnings: None

Notes: This ff is dedicated to my favorite author here, who has deactivated her account! Ik she may not see this, but she is the reason I started writing tickle ffs, and I am thankful about it! When she told me she'd leave, I legit started crying! She knows who she is and I hope she is reading this rn! We miss you, sweetheart!

Lots of love Nef 💕

Nefeli was laying on the living room floor of her apartment, which she was sharing with her older brother and his friends. Yoongi, her older brother, had asked her to write a song for the Christmas performance they were going to do soon. And of course, as soon as she heard that she could somehow help the boys with their career, she immediately grabbed a pencil and a paper and started writing down her ideas.

It was currently 4 am and the young girl was laying on her tummy and writing on the paper. The soft voices of the actors in the movie which was playing on TV could be heard as a background, as the rest of the house was empty. Or so she thought.

Swing in her legs in the air, she was too focused on her paper to hear the door opening and closing gently. Jungkook walked into the room, only to find the girl unaware of his presence behind her.

Smirking, the young lad crept behind her and grabbed her socked feet in a headlock “And what do you think you are doing?!” he gave her shocked feet some short scribbles, making her squeal surprised.

“GAHAHA!” she screamed a little in laughter before Jungkook gave her a break, his smirk not leaving his face “Ihihihi am doing what you cannohohot! I am writing a song!” Nefeli stuck her tongue out cheekily.

Raising an eyebrow, he let her feet go and sat next to her with a mischievous look on his face “You think you can, huh?”

“Of course I can!” she chuckled, and rolled back on her tummy, ignoring the butterflies Jungkook’s smirk was giving her. She grabbed her pencil again and proceeded on writing, but a gentle pinch on her side made her squeal and throw her pencil away.

“What’s wrong, Neffie? I thought you could write a song!” Jungkook giggled, pinching her side again as loud giggles were escaping the poor girl.

“I cahahahahan!” Nefeli stubbornly exclaimed in her attempt to push Jungkook’s hands off her with her elbows, but that only resulted in her sides getting faster pokes, driving her crazy.

“Aw really? I don’t see that!” he giggled before he pulled her by her feet on his lap and pinned her arms above her head “Well, y’know there are many things you need to combine to write a good song...” Jungkook smirked and raised her blouse with his other hand high enough to expose her ribs “First of all the music” he started drumming his fingers on her ribs, making the poor girl squeal and giggle like crazy “Gahahaha nahahahao ahahahaha!” Nefeli was trying to pull her arms down but Jungkook was way stronger than her “Ah here are the lyrics as well! Do, Re, Mi...” Jungkook kept poking each of her ribs like he was playing the piano, getting various reactions and giggles from her.

“Jahahahangkahahak ahahahaha! It tiahahahackles ahahaha!” she squealed loudly, as she was desperately trying to pull her arms down, her legs falling wherever they could reach. However, her attempts to decrease the mini shots of ticklishness that was hitting her body nonstop were falling apart.

“What’s happening? Why are you laughing? I am just trying to teach you! Tsk tsk tsk, so disrespectful!” the young lad swallowed an amused giggle that was ready to escape me as he proceeded to squeeze her poor side next. Jungkook slid fastly his hand down her ribs, tracing her waist as well before he finally reached her right side, digging his fingers in and squeezing it nonstop.

Gasping loudly, Nefeli screamed loudly and threw her head back in loud laughter, while she was trying the hardest she could to pull her arms down. But Jungkook was way stronger than her and her arms were going anywhere “GEHEHEAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAO PLEAHAHAHASE STAHAHAHAP AHAHAHAHA!” the young girl kept bouncing on Jungkook’s lap, trying to escape the devilish lad who was trying to kill her.

“Stop? But the lesson just started!” he whispered in her neck, bringing to the surface loud squeals that were mixing with her loud laughter as the squeezes were speeding up “The special effects are the ones who add to the song! Like this!” suddenly the tickling stopped as soon as he stopped talking and Nefeli’s arms were finally released.

However, she didn’t have the time to react, as she immediately felt her shirt raising. Widening her eyes, she immediately understood what was about to happen “NOOOOO!” she exclaimed, pulling the hem of her shirt as much as she could to prevent her friend from doing what he was ready to do “PLEASE DON’T!” she squealed while shaking her head side to side, winning at least some seconds without being tickled.

Chuckling purely amused, Jungkook looked up at Nefeli’s giggling in anticipation state “But this is the best part of the song! Check this out!” and before she could simply argue, Jungkook blew a loud and long raspberry on her bare tummy, shaking his head a little to add to the already way too sensitive sensations.

Throwing her back in loud laughter once again, the young girl was trying to push Jungkook’s head in despair “HAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAO AHAHAHAHA! IT TIAHAHAHACKLES SO MUCH AHAHAHAHA!” she screamed, kicking out more and more as loud laughter of enjoying was pouring out of her mouth.

“Ah lemme blow a proper raspberry on your tummy!” Jungkook exclaimed giggling, and raised his head a little to take a look at the also giggling girl “You are so ticklish, aren’t you?” he chuckled, seeing a shy blush rising on her face as soon as those words left his mouth.

Let me tell you, all the boys had understood Nefeli’s love for tickles. And of course, Yoongi had told them the day she decided to move in with them. And of course, they just had to tease her about it every chance they had.

“Nu I am not! Lemme gohohoho!” blushing deep red, the young girl exclaimed and hid her face behind her palms shyly.

Tilting his head teasingly, the young boy smirked lazily and grabbed the pencil that was laying on the floor, and laid Nefeli next to him, placing her worst spot on his lap. Her feet “Then you wouldn’t mind me continuing the lesson, right?”

“No no no wait-”

“So finally, you need to write down the lyrics as well!” he grinned widely and immediately started scribbling on Nefeli’s socked feet with the tip of the pencil.

“I know I know, please lemme goAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA JUNGKAHAHAHAHAK PLEAHAHAHASE AHAHAHA!” she tried to protest, but unfortunately for the poor neighbors’ ears, Jungkook had already started torturing her hypersensitive feet. A loud shriek escaped her as she started kicking out nonstop and laughing hysterically, doing whatever she could to push herself away from her.

“Coochie coochie coo, Neffie” he sang amused by her reaction, as he moved the tickly tip to her toes, scratching and drawing the base of them.

Nefeli screamed in hysterical laughter as she was bouncing on the floor nonstop and hitting wherever she could “BWAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAHO AHAHAHA NAHAHAT THEAHAHAHARE I CAHAHAHAN’T AHAHAHAHA!”

Her legs were kicking out nonstop making everything for her own self worse. Jungkook stopped moving the pencil, however, Nef kept kicking out nonstop against it, shrieking and screaming in hysterical laughter “You are tickling yourself!” he giggled loudly, and kept his hand still as the young girl was indeed accidentally tickling herself without meaning to.

“AHAHAHAHA LEMME GAHAHAHAO AHAHAHAHAHA!” she screamed in laughter, all flustered and red from the teasing. Her tummy had started aching and her lungs were burning while her cheeks and mouth were stretching from all the laughter.

Chuckling, Jungkook decided to have some mercy on Nefeli, and let her feet go. The young girl curled up all giggly and shyly, panting a little “T-Thahat was mean!” she squealed, hiding her scarlet face in her palms.

“And that’s how you write a song” Jungkook winked smiling as he was rubbing her back. Ah, secretly, both of them had enjoyed it, but who dared to admit it? No one...

Satan’s Ticklish Feet HC’s!

[I am in a bit of a tickle mood with the Obey Me boys right now, and I headcanon Satan’s one of his most ticklish spots are his feet!] 

Satan’s Ticklish Feet

- He likes to kick back after a long day at RAD and torturing Lucifer, so you’ll often find him barefoot and reading on his bed. His toenails are obviously green thanks to Asmo, of course.

- You decided to sneak upon the wrath demon and trap his ankles with your arm so he couldn’t get away. He closes his book and looks at you, alarmed by your sudden gesture. 

- “MC, what are y-”

- Before he can finish you started scribbling your fingers around his soles, tickling him mercilessly and enjoying the immediate loud laughter you receive as a result. 

- “Bahahahaha! Nohohohohohoho! Nohohot thehehehere, stahahahahap!” 

- You continue to attack his soles as he tries to desperately get your hands away, but fails. You then decide to be a little extra mean and spider his toes as well.

- Was that a squeak you just heard? And a gasp? Yep. He’s gasping in between laughs and attempted pleas now. 

- He WILL try to curl his toes to stop you, but don’t let him. Hold his toes back gently with your fingers and use your free hand to scribble the balls of his feet just beneath the toes. 

- “Ahahahaha! I can’t take it, plehehehehease! Hahahahahaha!” 

- Begging? Wow, this is really doing something to him. Perfect for you for future advantages as well. 

- Another time he was reading and you decided to go for a second sneak attack. He was taking care of some kittens all day and had a little pile of toys in a box in the corner of his room, but it was enough to catch your eye. 

- You decided to quietly look through some different toys in the box. Toy mouse? No. Laser pointer? No. Toy yarn ball? No. Feather toy? Jackpot.

- You decide to sneak up while Satan is distracted by a new novel he got from the library that day, and you get on the bed with him and straddle around his ankles. 

- He looks over his shoulder at you and asks what you’re doing, until he feels a soft sensation glide over his left sole and he bites his lip, trying not to laugh. 

- You hear some stifled giggles an decide to grab the second toy and glide it across his right sole as well, tickling him. He curls his toes repeatedly, but he’s laughing super hard. 

- “Ahahahahaha! Not the feathehehehers! Nohohohohoho, MC, stahahahahap ihihihihit!” 

- You love teasing and tickling him, and he likes the closeness between the two for you. But you know that he’s gonna get you back worse than you did to him. He will leave you breathless and crying from laughing. ;)

How do you feel about the people trying to get Brooklyn 99 cancelled or arguing that people shouldn’t like/talk about it (or presumably other cop shows)? I think the cop propaganda bit is silly, but do worry that by supporting cop shows I’m supporting the police, something I very much don’t want to do

Jesus.

Look, I am a big fan of trash crime procedurals, like the CSIs or NCISs, all the way back to Starsky & Hutch and before. I love that shit.

B99 is a weird sitcom that happens to be about cops. It’s a moronic choice of target if the objective is social change...

...and a great target if the objective is social power within fandom.

If Tumblr fandom actually cared about cop shows being fascist propaganda, they’d go after NCIS, which is, by some measures, the most popular show on the planet, and which intentionally and overtly caters to a very mainstream pro-cop, pro-military US mindset. Shows like that have a lot of power to reinforce the status quo and thus some measure of power to challenge it. I thought it was a fascinating and positive development that we got Instinct, which is this same trite genre, but with a gay lead.

Yelling at a bunch of tumblr-ites who already hate the police for watching a show with a bunch of POC and queer characters is pointless. Zero political change will result.

Weaning Middle America off of ultra-fascist flavors of NCIS and inserting some black lives matter messages into mainstream cop shows might actually do something to change voting behavior. Might.

Ultimately, I have to question what “supporting the police” even means in this context: Not thinking that literally every cop is a monster? Not thinking that we can do away with modern law enforcement entirely? Viewing cops as interesting enough to be heroes and protagonists of fiction? Failing to performatively hate cops on the internet?

It’s not like individual cops know you’re watching cop shows, so to me, it seems like the theoretical propaganda effect on you is indeed the thing to worry about here. If that’s silly, then the whole thing is silly, and you should go back to watching B99 and not worry about any of this.

Sure, watching lots of law enforcement shows might give you a subconscious positive feeling about law enforcement, and maybe that’s a bad thing that you want to avoid. That’s very much a personal judgment call.

How much the propaganda affects you and which ways it affects you will have a lot to do with your own personal context. The whole planet watches our America Fuck Yeah superhero movies. Those things are at least as propaganda-laden as cop shows. Does it make most of the world feel warmly towards the US military? Ahahahaha. God, no.

So, sure, I think it’s worth thinking about how your personal media diet affects you--and like a food diet, one piece of junk food will not do much harm, and it’s about the sum total of what you consume--but this has to be undertaken by you yourself.

If you want to protest, go protest. If you care about change, vote. Donate money to activist groups. Volunteer offline. Don’t confuse this with personal mental spring cleaning and don’t let other people tell you they’re the same thing.

Tumblr, as usual, is conflating “Your fandom sucks! Talk about mine instead!” with political action. This is toxic bullshit. Block people who pull this.

[maxemilianverstappen]

Lol, both the admins are acting like they are using their personal accounts, this is so funny and embarrassing, like what the fuck are you thinking before typing any of that out??

And while there are people who are calling it out, there are also fans who are literally saying it's the admin's job to be uWu, like no honey it's not, their job is to maintain good PR for the team and THEIR drivers, something they have forgotten... I have seen them talk about Seb with Lewis and Mick this season more than I have seen them talk about Seb & Lance, and Lance in general. Like please focus on your drivers, the fans of the team are here for them. And while Merc admin can still get away with the cringe because at least the Mercedes has good results this season so the focus shifts on the on track performance, the AM admin is just making the situation worse for the team... A team everyone expected to be fighting for wins this year, has dropped to 7th in the pecking order, there are no results to show for anything the drivers are doing, and you lit are going around engaging in uWu bestie Sewis nonsense, who is going to take the team seriously? Your PR in a competitive sport is supposed to make you look ambitious, and they are celebrating being overtaken, like I understand a post race congratulatory comment under another team's post, but why are you focussed on another driver's race?

Also funny, that Lewis/Sewis fans are busy defending all the nonsense from yesterday, like besties stop, if they had crashed you lot would be asking for Seb's head, regardless of whether it was his fault or not, you're not fooling anyone.

Motherfuckers flip-flop on Yuki so much, it's disgusting to watch, everytime they have to slander RB, they use Yuki for it, and then when Yuki defended against Lewis at COTA they started attacking him saying he was showing his true colours, because he raced Lewis lmao, and then the same people/accounts went back to give him moral support last week, I mean why are you all so shallow... choose one narrative and run with please

Anon, whoever you are I don't know, but since you have the higher brain power than me for putting what I feel into words, I want you to know that you have an admirer.

Good PR, joking around and having a bit of fun is one thing, blatantly ignoring your other drivers inorder to milk a ship/nonexistent friendship (ahahahaha) by using the social media of a corporation playing with millions is another.

True, some fans like this stuff and I am one of them when it is done in moderation, it is nice, but..... But.... 🙄🙄🙄 What the fuck was this?

Why the fuck are these ppl even racing? To certify they are actually a Merc sidekick? To get discount in the new engines? Do they remember they are talking about a 4 times WDC who used to be a rival to the other driver they are so in love with? Whose fans and British media used to tear him down at every given chance including the said driver himself... LoL, how the turn tables when you stop being a threat and the new spot you find yourself in reduces you to a part of a ship instead of a rival so that PR can milk money 🤑🤑🤑

Also, since when it is okay to make sexual innuendos on official accounts?

I'm a shipper, but pleeeeease.... This kinda shit needs to be kept in fannish spaces not get promoted by official accounts that might draw attention on us. You should see all the replies to the last tweet asking about what a "s*ewis" is and where does it come from 😬

And yes, I would be cringed if it was done on Simi, too... Subtle bromance stuff is nice, but this kind of stuff has its own time and place.

hello!!!!! mwah!!! I hope you're having a good day!!! thank you for this question and thank you for your gift of sweet potato chili with this beautiful assortment of extras and fancie ;-; I am hungry now ahahahaha

(on this note I have never tried sweet potato chili before and I would absolutely love to taste some of yours because it sounds so good. so so good. aaaaa)

anyway. Quinn tunes! Nat tunes! mayhaps some Quinn And Nat Combined tunes? I got a few of those up my sleeve!

Quinn and Nat were both popular choices for this ask game ahaha, so I'm planning to do different flavours of tunes for each response to keep it interesting maybe possibly. or maybe not, maybe I will just end up throwing tunes about with no rhyme or reason. but for now. uh. Nat And Quinn Tunes!

ramble time ramble time I'm sorry I'm sorry it's ramble time

first up are "Hey, Runner!" by The Arcadian Wild and "call me pretty" by elliotly, which both vaguely tie into the Nat/Quinn dynamic at different points of the story c:

"Hey, Runner!" I believe is told through a single narrator but in relation to the story, the lyrics slip between Nat Narrator Vibes and Quinn Narrator Vibes from line to line in a way that's meant to be confusing and hard to follow. their energy is essentially Quinn being in control and convincing Nat he's in control and just lots of stupid mind games that usually result in Quinn winning out and Nat not realising he's being manipulated into helping them. it's a bop! as a general rule the chorus belongs to Quinn,

"You better run fast / Get it done even if it takes all night / I don't know what else you've been told but I'm above that / And if I change my mind it'll be alright / It's not like you got somewhere to be"

as do any lines referencing being a volunteer, as a fun little hop between this person who is absolutely 100% in control and pulling all the strings and manipulating others to get what they want, but also being someone who feigns ignorance at the last second all like "no no no no, see, I'm the one helping you, of course! that's obvious! I'm no threat, you're in control here, not me :)", which is basically the entire foundation of Nat and Quinn's early relationship

hey! you owe them :) you need them :) they're helping you out of the goodness of their heart <3

the bridge belongs to Nat,

"I've got somewhere to be / And I'll never get there while you're stepping on me / I'm caught beneath you / Caught beneath your vanity / So why do I keep running?"

n "Go take a ride on your high horse / And don't you wait to ask for more" also belongs to Quinn, immediately followed by "I've got an eternity of time to abuse / Never mind, it's all for you to use" which belongs to Nat

also this song is such an earworm lmao

"call me pretty" is...................... self-explanatory. for a mid-story Nat/Quinn dynamic. after Nat steps the fuck up and calls Quinn on their bullshit and knocks them down a few pegs and Quinn is weirdly weirdly into it because being on equal footing with someone who can destroy you as easily as you could destroy them is just deliciously thrilling

"Call me pretty, not my name / What can I say? You're to blame / Your hands, your face / Wrap me in lace / Call me yours, I'll call you mine / Tracing flowers down my spine / Make me a god / You're fanged and clawed"

but honestly the whole song and all lyrics r just. chefs kiss. perfect vibes

oh, just a little tune for the start of an equal Nat/Quinn dynamic with a dash of unhinged romantic tension, and the realisation that they can both help each other reach their Full Deranged Potential if they accept each other as partners in a team and have each other's backs

also did I mention the Unhinged Romantic Tension

you can have a few other tunes!

“I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie is good and tender, though a bit of a cliche choice perhaps

“Love of mine / Someday you will die / But I’ll be close behind / I’ll follow you into the dark / No blinding light / Or tunnels to gates of white / Just our hands clasped so tight”

n I’ve gotta toss “Crane Your Neck” by Lady Lamb out there too

like! idk, it’s a gentle song, and it is also absolutely not a gentle song at all. idk. the general overarching vibe between Nat and Quinn is “let me help you be gentle and soft” and “let me help you be monstrous” respectively, just like!!! after they establish equal footing, Nat consistently allowing Quinn the space to be vulnerable and soft and open and to learn how to be loved rather than feared, n Quinn consistently allowing Nat the space to be Rightfully Fucking Furious at his circumstances, at the way the world works, at the way he’s been stepped on, and to not take any of it lying down

n this song is just such a nice bridge between those two energies while still being just such a tender vibe

finally I’d be remiss if I didn’t add “It Will Come Back” by Hozier

both for the extremely literal and on-the-nose “Don’t let me in with no intention to keep me / Jesus Christ, don’t be kind to me / Honey, don’t feed me, I will come back” but also because the whole song is just “good fucking luck getting rid of me now lmao” from start to finish which goes both directions for these two fucking idiots

anyway those are some Nat and Quinn tunes, I hope you vibed with ‘em, n thank you for letting me ramble as always

:D!!!!

ily B!!!!
