Forever grateful that r/suicidewatch exists by the way. If you go on that subreddit I hope you find help and if you're one of the repliers who tries to help I mean well bless you really.

hii hii lumii !! I ADORE your interpretation of lighter so far— I love him smm

anyways, I hope my req is okay but I was wondering if you could do a comfort fic ? maybe reader has been a lil distant lately and just in some feels and he gives them a lil talk after being blown off here and there to find out they were having issues w their mental health and not feeling good enough and maybe he’s caught off guard because reader is usually so out going and always has a smile on their face and to see them feel so small makes him wanna take care of them so much and gives them so much reassurance and gentle kisses and cuddles 👉👈

I hope it’s okay !! I’ve been in the feels lately

hi anonn !! im gonna answer this one first because i've been in the feels too and i think we all deserve some reassurance, especially after all of the sad lighter story.

i don't take lighter for the kind to be too intrusive. that's not to say that he doesn't notice the way you're staring off into the distance, as if always having something on your mind. or the way you left earlier than usual for the SoC's nightly hangouts around the fire. or the way you had just been distancing yourself from him.

maybe you just needed a day, or two, and so he waited. he waited, and waited, but it just seemed like it was getting worse. he was beginning to get anxious, coming up with possibilities and worse case scenarios. even his favorite grape-flavored lollipop couldn't reduce the anxiety that was building up inside of him as he followed after you one night.

he shook off his nerves, spending quite a bit of time at the front door of your lodging while in blazewood. mentally practicing what to say so that he wouldn't make things even worse than they already were. one step, two deep breaths, three knocks on your door. he cleared his voice, usually confident and smooth but now carried a hint of worry in it.

"hey, uh... everything alright?"

you could hear the ruffling of his jacket, the soft metal clinks of his gloves. he didn't dare open the door until you allowed him to, so he waited, just like he always had. "lighter? yeah, everything's fine," was that a slight crack in your voice? no, no, he had to have imagined that. he knew it was wrong but he had waited long enough. he turned the knob, opening the door just a little bit but still not walking in.

"you don't have to tell me everything. just... know that i'll be here, waiting for you." he wasn't the best at comforting, nor was he good at even navigating these sorts of things but at the very least, he wanted you to have the knowledge that you had him. it didn't take long for you to finally get up, opening the door that separated the both of you. you looked so... different. the light absent from your eyes, the edges of your lips normally turned upwards but now they weren't. if he couldn't say what you wanted to hear, maybe you'd understand through his actions.

his arms wrapped around you. squeezing you just a little tighter than usual as he somehow made the both of you waddle backwards into your room. he had kept his gloves in his pants, not wanting to hurt you even more with them. his embrace was a familiar warmth, like the fire during particularly cold nights in the outer ring. you could hear his heart racing, was it from nervousness? anxiety? fear? even he didn't know.

he took this as an opportunity to place soft kisses on the top of your head but then stopped all of a sudden. he turned around to the door and realized that it was still wide open. he kicked it close with his foot, feeling embarrassed at the fact that he had to stop because of something so minor. he wanted you to feel safe, to have privacy, to be able to breathe without others barging in. technically, he had invaded this space of yours but you were slowly melting into him, as if you had been waiting for this too.

every passing second hugging you, kissing you, it made his own worries disappear. he hoped the same for you as you slowly spoke to him about your own problems. as he listened, he'd pause every once in while to give you a deadpan stare. not because he was making fun of you or anything, but it genuinely baffled him how you could say such things about yourself. you felt so insecure about yourself and your image, about being with him, being with the SoC. he had to physically stop himself from just blurting "i love you" every time you said something so degrading.

instead, he chose to wait and listen. his calloused hands gently caressing yours, his lips pressing kisses on the side of your head as you nuzzled into him. he loves you for who you are, the person in front of him, not the image that you had made yourself out to be in your mind. but he waits for you to let it all out before he says anything else. he will wait, he will listen, he will always be there for you.

Annatar during chapter 39 of The Harrowing by Chthonion~

And then doodles with some of my favourite bits from the afore mentioned chapter -

I've been meaning to do stuff from this chapter since it came out cause it is amazing- (in a 'wanting to suffocate Annatar with hugs and cups of tea, and the collateral sufferers too- like getting Maedhros back to Fingon for recuperation' kind of a way) - at revealing just how messed up Annatar's mindset is. I definitely recommend the Maedhros pov as well- the amount of '... I don't think I even want to unpack that statement' and 'seriously. We have gone over this. At least three times. In the last twenty minutes. Why do you not get it??' that goes through his head during that conversation is just- Amazin~

:D

This fic is really cool and I highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely into lotr or the Silmarillion.

:D

Welp.

Time to draw my comfort characters getting along with other people's comfort characters while playing stardew valley and finishing some comms.

And become a hermit, ignoring everything till I'm needed

The way that you guys are pinning elain and gwyn against each other is INSANE, calling them boring, bitches, whores.

Yet when it comes to the men its crickets

Just say you hate women and move on, it's giving internalised misogyny

[redrobin-detective]

As the writer, there is something quietly soothing about little fic edits before publication. Your child is almost grown and ready to go off into the world but before they stop being yours and yours alone, you must fluff and attend to them a bit. A minor dialogue change there, fixing little typos and run-ons, tying up a loose thread no one else would probably notice but you did. They itch to be free and yet you must comb their hair and straighten their tie one last time before letting them go.

"Administratively, too, [...] queens were considered the legal lords of their landholdings. [...] Grants noted that the queen's officials had administrative autonomy without being subject to the king or anyone else, and evidence of the same assumption can be gleaned from court rolls that were recorded with headings indicating the lord of the manor whose court proceedings were being enrolled. As an example, some court rolls for the manor of Haveringatte-Bower specified that it was the court of [Margaret of Anjou] that was in session, while later rolls recorded Elizabeth Woodville as the lord of the manor court."

Hello. Since the Mushroom Oasis game is pretty popular and people are really into Mychael and think he is hot, will you at some point announce an official NSFW tag for anyone who wants to make and post NSFW of Mushroom Oasis?

I'll talk about this under a cut for those uncomfortable with these topics! I'm aware there's minors in the fandom, but I also wanna be fair to older audiences who wanna consume that kind of content <3

I'm not sure if it needs an official NSFW tag since I assume tagging it as #nsfw itself should filter it out but then again, I also understand the perspective of someone who would seek that kind of content as opposed to filtering it (no judgement!!!)

I don't have an idea for a unique NSFW tag; my first thought is just a simple '#mushroom oasis nsfw' would suffice but then again it's better to use different words for better filtering :-0

For the sake of proper filtering and being fair for both types of players, I'll happily announce a specific tag if one comes along! I guess to those reading, feel free to suggest a few haha

But for now, assume '#mushroom oasis nsfw' is the default <3

“I don’t want it to just be ‘me’ and ‘you’ anymore,” she mumbles, outstretching an unsteady hand. Shangguan Qian is so far away that she can’t even brush the edge of her clothes, let alone grasp her. “Can we… Can we be an ‘us’ again? Please?”

Yun Weishan watches Shangguan Qian carefully for her answer, sifting through the fog of the sea in her eyes. Wearing white and framed by the candlelight, she looks a little too unreal, like she doesn’t belong in the same plane as her at all.

Shangguan Qian exhales. She glances at her hand, keeping it hovering, trembling in mid-air.

“That’s not up to me, is it?” she returns. “What about you, Yun Weishan? Will you show me mercy, or will this all end the same way?”

bc of new movie talk I feel the need to gush about sa2, particularly amy rose 🩷

literally everyone is perfect in this game but special mention of how lovingly and cleverly they wrote amy rose

shadow was always meant to turn good. and amy was the perfect person to convince him. maybe the only one who could!

sonic is an exceptional hero, and he’s no stranger to becoming besties with former enemies (knuckles, later silver) but this is notably never out of his own efforts.

that is to say, he’s no steven universe (lovingly, bc i love su) and he doesn’t make huge efforts to turn baddies to the good side. he’s absolutely down to forgive, and fight alongside whoever is willing to help him fight, but i love that he just goes with the flow. like, oh, he’s on our side now? cool.

i love this about him. he's not a basic hero archetype, not trying to rehabilitate all the time JUST because he’s the hero. it fits for some heroes to do so, but it’s just not who he is. he’s not overtly kind to shadow the entire game. he’s pissed! this guys framing him! but if shadow helps him save the world, so be it. they might even become close. this fits his character perfectly, to go with it like the wind.

meanwhile amy rose? she’s arguably the sweetest and most emphathetic character. this is highlighted in both adventure games. her big heart saves the day all on its own and that’s so beautiful. she’s necessary. this is her moment!

it’s two sides of heroism and that’s just brilliant.

how sweet and fundamental the scene between her and shadow is for both their characters. smth so sweet about who shadow shows care towards in this game; rouge and amy, thinking of maria each time. she also represented kindness. 🩵

and amy could see the good in him! begging him to help sonic, just as she will go on to inspire silver to be good in 06. and this part of her is shown in her sweetness towards others like cream&tails

she has such a great personality always (pushy and headstrong and adorable) but her kind heart truly shines in the adventure games.

so yeah, this is more me gushing about amy rose in general <3 but that’s okay too she deserves it.
