A witchcraft basics doc; update, resource call, interest check, and a possible second doc

Bet most of you didn't even know I was working on this >:D

Yes this is a huge post. It's a lot of things.

So, one of my first posts ever on this blog was me mentioning that a friend of mine had NO clue what they were signing up for when asking for the basics of witchcraft. The google doc I wrote took on a life of its own, and the post did as well when people started asking for it. I still plan to tag said people when I post it, assuming they haven't deactivated. The thing is, this doc had become a proper project, and it took a long time for me to have the motivation to work on it again. Now, though, it seems to me like a damn good way to reconnect to my craft after a rut! (which, by the way, is why I've been offline.)

So, my first post back is for a couple of reasons. For one, if you have any resources you'd think would be useful for beginner witches, feel free to shoot me an ask, DM, or comment/reblog on this post! I'll have a list of things I'm putting in the doc (taking recommendations there as well) at the bottom of this post.

The other thing is that I might end up making a second doc, one that's a little less "101" in vibe. It would have a MAJOR MAJOR UPG warning on it, first off, and I'm not sure whether or not I would be marking any UPG either since this would essentially be a second Grimoire/Book of Shadows for me that would be public to others for the sake of sharing information! I can't say I'd call it "advanced witchcraft" by any means, I'm not very fancy lol, but I don't want the basics doc to get too overwhelming. I do, however, want to scream about random witchcraft topics that interest me. So this is also a bit of an interest check for that, as well as the basics doc.

FINAL NOTE: I fully plan on posting this basics doc before it's done. Some sections will be unwritten or unfinished, because if I wait until I find it "finished" I'll never post it. It's going to be added onto whenever I can, but I feel as though getting it out is the best course of action.

A list of stuff in the doc that I'd take resources on (AKA everything planned in it) with * by anything that will be left unwritten/unfinished on purpose until I know more. I will take resources and recommendations on EVERYTHING though. This is in no particular order:

grounding and centering

VOCAB (intention, intuition, UPG/SPG/VPG, appropriation. probably others I'm forgetting.

candle, plant, crystals and safety* (as well as any other tools one might need safety tips for. This is left completely unwritten as I use very few tools of this type.)

deity work* (the whole debate surrounding when to start, as well as information about it. Will include smth about house rules/boundaries. My work is very casual, I'd love to see different POV's of this! This is by nature left unfinished because deity work is so unique to the witch.)

grimoire/book of shadows

tools of the craft* (common tools and how to use them consumerism in witchcraft, etc.)

cleansing

appropriation* (I don't know near enough about this, I just check what's in my own practice. I would like this to include a list of commonly appropriated closed practices, a definition of appropriation and why it shouldn't be done, open pantheons, and common open practices.)

spellwork*

meditation

where someone could go from here* (including sigils, tarot, crystals bc my friend likes rocks lol, maybe astrology but oh god I have nothing about that it makes my brain hurt just looking at an astrology chart /pos. I will probably make a list of stuff that I could add in this section.)

casual/daily/quick/low energy practices and witchcraft

paganism and witchcraft; overlap, what they are individually, why one might be for you rather than the other, etc.*

there'd be a credit section for anyone who wants to be credited for links/resources at the end! If you send me resources plz specify if you want to be included in that or not.

Things I might include in the second doc if I make it:

the craft and mental health and my experiences with it

things commonly touched on in the community (your deities don't hate you, cycles of inactivity and burnout, other things I'm forgetting rn)

deity-specific things, more specific topics of the craft, etc. yet another reminder that this would all include UPG, possibly unmarked, because it would basically be primarily used to give me motivation to research more.

Until, of course, your feelings start to get involved. Your situation is complicated enough without the unexpexted predicament that suddenly befalls upon you. But with a maniac serial killer on the loose, will you ever get the chance to make everything right?

Warning(s): 18+ NSFW SMUT, oral (m receiving), fingering, unprotected penetrative sex, dirty talk, slight mdom/fsub dynamic, praise kink (?), dubious consent (only because both of them are kinda drunk), alcohol consumption, cursing (a lot of it)

Word Count: 3700-ish

Author's Note: sooo I used to write for law and order svu a long time ago on my old account, but I haven't really picked up fanfiction writing for a long time now, but this is definitely a first time for me writing smut so pls keep that in mind lol. that being said, I was absolutely APPALLED by the lack of derek fanfics on this platform, hence why I decided to take matters into my own hand and wrote this little piece right here :) this fic is gonna be divided into several parts and I'll try to post an update asap. the tw will be adjusted accordingly on each part of the fic. I'll also be making a masterlist for the whole series hopefully sooner rather than later. in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the story below and don't forget to drop a like/comment/reblog xoxo

Love Bugs Masterlist / Criminal Minds Masterlist

Since the first time you met him, Derek Morgan was never less than 200 pounds of danger and charm, and he wore that fact with immense pride.

"I'm Derek," he offered smoothly, palm extended to shake yours the moment Hotch introduced you to the team.

"Nice to meet you," was your reply. His hand felt sturdy against your clammy one. "You can call me (Y/N). Or Beetle. Whichever works."

"Beetle?" Someone in the room interjected. You were pretty sure her name was Emily. "How'd you get Beetle from (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?"

"It's a childhood nickname. Kinda stuck." You shrugged. "It's a long story."

That was how everything started.

Flirtatious was Derek's second nature. You convinced yourself not to be swayed by the sweet nothings he kept on dropping wherever he went, especially when you began to understand more about his dynamics with Penelope Garcia. You were just another side quest in his little game, and Derek was merely eager to be the number one top player in the leaderboard.

But your heart, unfortunately, had always been much more vulnerable than your head.

And Derek Morgan, as you came to find out, was its biggest kryptonite.

"Hey, Bug." Derek had approached you after one particularly grisly case. The nickname he had chosen to adopt for you after a couple of weeks being on the team dripped easily from his tongue. "Drinks afterwards?"

"Sure. Who else is coming?"

"Just us two tonight, sweetheart." He winked.

You should have seen it coming.

You should have known that getting drinks late at night with Derek Morgan--alone--was going to be the start of your rapid downfall.

Derek Morgan was the kryptonite to your heart.

Yet then again, you always knew you were secretly a masochist.

"Okay, okay, back up a minute," Derek choked out in between laughter. "That's how you got the nickname Beetle?"

You were quite enjoying the sight in front of you. Twinkled eyes, carefree Derek, who was finally able to let himself loose thanks to the alcohol in his system. The smile lines on his face miraculously made him appear younger, and you could almost catch a glimpse of the young, ambitous football star he once had been before he began pursuing the life of law and justice.

"Yep." You nodded sheepishly, stirring the remaining liquor in the glass in front of you. "I didn't know, okay? How was I supposed to know that beetles can reproduce and multiply that much in the span of a couple of weeks? And frankly, I blame my teachers for failing to satisfy the curiosity of an eight-year old me."

"Alright. Blame the underappreciated heroes of this country, then. How were they supppsed to know you'd actually manage to cause a beetle infestation, Bug?" He pointed an accusatory finger at you. "Please tell me you got punished."

"I did. Mandatory volunteer work." Derek stared in disbelief at your answer. "Well, they wanted to suspend me, but my mother could be very persuasive."

"Meaning, she threatened to sue the school?" Derek raised an eyebrow, remembering the one time you told him that your mom was a lawyer before she passed away.

The rest of the night unraveled similarly. With more anecdotes shared and less sobriety kept, conversation with Derek flowed effortlessly. It felt like a swimmer being back in the water after a year-long sabbatical. Before the two of you realized it, hours had passed since you and Derek first stumbled into that bar, and the finale of an exhausting day had at last morphed into the premiere of a better one.

At Derek's insistence, he accompanied you on the taxi ride back to your apartment, ignoring the constant protest that you kept voicing out loud during the entire journey.

"This is absolutely unnecessary. I told you I'm fine," you grumbled as you staggered from the taxi towards your apartment bulding.

Derek caught up with you easily despite having to linger back to pay for the taxi fare. You stopped on the steps leading towards the front door, too busy fishing for your apartment key to notice that your balance had started slipping from your state of inebriation.

You laughed drunkenly when you felt yourself fall into a pair of strong arms. "Whoopsies. Sorry."

"Careful, Bug. Don't hurt yourself," Derek muttered softly.

Your whole body shuddered at the sensation of his breath on your ear. Derek had never felt this close before. Not even when you hugged each other goodbye or when you embraced one another after a close call in one of your cases. This time, his arms around you felt intimate. That fact alone managed to sober you up even if only for a fraction.

"Okay. I'm okay."

You scrambled out of Derek's firm but gentle hold, finally producing the offensive key from your purse before inserting it into the key hole.

"Thanks for taking me home. You didn't have to."

"I know." Derek raised his fingers, pushing away the strands of hair that had fallen over your eyes as a consequence of the passing wind. "I wanted to."

You stood there under the darkness, body nailed in place by a force far greater than anything you ever knew. Derek was looking at you with an unidentifiable gaze. One that seemed to burn brightly beneath his eyes, but warm and tender once they fell upon your skin.

The intensity was new. Overwhelming. It struck your core, stripping you bare of any defense left in both your body and soul.

Perhaps, that was exactly why the next words even managed to leave your mouth.

"You're pretty."

And God, he really was.

Derek Morgan was beautiful. All six feet and two inches of him. He looked pretty in the mornings when he slid a warm cup of hazelnut latte across your desk, and he looked just as pretty in the evening under the delicate strokes of moonlight.

At the sight of his amused beam in response to your sudden remark, you began to contemplate why anyone hadn't tried to claim him as the eighth wonder of the world.

"I'm pretty?"

"Very."

"I think you're prettier."

"Hm?"

Derek took another step forward, closing the distance between the two of you until the air you exhaled became the very one he breathed in.

"Good night, (Y/N)." The rare sound of your name out of his mouth made you shiver.

Derek exterminated the remaining gap between the two of you. For a second, your entire nerve endings stood in anticipation, waiting for the moment that his plush lips would touch yours.

They never did.

Instead, his kiss had landed on your cheek, viciously close to where the line of your lips started that you could almost picture how he would taste when you closed your eyes.

Derek started to pull away, but he never got further than a mere centimeter before you decided to take matters into your own hand and pressed your own lips to his inviting ones.

He tasted of alcohol and mint. But most importantly, he tasted of Derek. A distinctive sweetness that erupted the dormant butterfiles in the pit of your stomach. They began to soar freely inside of you under the influence of Derek's touch.

Your entire being was on fire. What started as sweet and alleviating soon turned into a contest of desperation. Before you knew it, you somehow had managed to unlock the front door and moved inside, all the way to the door of your own apartment.

When he nipped your bottom lip, you couldn't help but moan into the kiss.

"Fuck," Derek murmured against your lips after hearing the needy sound you just made. "Fuck me."

"I'm trying to," you said impatiently, scrambling to get ahold of his collar and brought his lips back to where they belonged.

Your ministrations screeched to a halt with Derek's hands around your wrists. "Hey. No, Bug. Stop."

Derek took a step back then, letting your hands fall back to your side. He never strayed far from where you stood against the wooden door, but even that tiny bit of distance was enough to make you crave more of him.

You needed to feel his body pressed up against yours, to have him incredibly close that you had no idea where he ended and you began.

"Derek, please..."

You should have been ashamed by how wretched your voice sounded, but you didn't care. You wanted him past the point of caring.

His smile was gentle and forlorn at the same time. "No, sweetheart. Not tonight."

Just like that, your heart plummeted straight out of your chest. "What?"

"Go inside, (Y/N). Get some sleep."

"No!"

Had it been any other day or any other person, you would have chastised yourself for your lack of propriety. But it wasn't any other person standing in front of you. It was Derek. Beautiful, kind, and courageous Derek. Your friend. Your kryptonite.

The oblivious owner of your heart.

"Don't go," you whispered. "Come inside. Stay with me tonight."

"I don't think that's such a good idea."

Your gut churned with dread. "Y-you don't?"

"Christ. I didn't mean it like that. Hey, look at me." He tugged a finger under your chin, forcing your eyes to stare into his dark ones. "You have no idea how much I want to. But you're drunk."

"So are you."

"Exactly my point."

"Derek--"

"I'm not gonna have you forget our first time in the morning just because you were too drunk to remember it, Bug."

The urge to chortle was almost unbearable.

Derek seemed to notice the comical mischief shining in your eyes. "What?"

"It's funny that you think I would ever forget the first time we fuck."

A breathy laugh rumbled out of his chest. "You're a menace, woman."

"A menace who wants you. Please, Derek," you started to whine. "I'm sober enough to give my consent. Hell, I could even recite the entire FBI oath to prove it if you want. You wanna see? I, (Y/N) (Y/L/N), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend--"

"Bug--"

"--the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic--"

"(Y/N)--"

"--that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same--"

You never did finish reciting the remainder of that oath.

The taste of Derek's lips on yours was an interruption you'd gladly welcome at any time of day. Through some sort of miracle, you managed to drag the two of you inside the safety of your apartment without ever breaking the kiss.

When it was time to come up for air, Derek's voice was raspy in your ear, "Sweetheart, I think--"

You didn't give him a chance to protest.

The kisses you peppered started on his neck. When your teeth gritted over his pulse point, Derek let out a low moan that vibrated through your entire being.

"Oh God..."

You continued showering kisses down his body, enjoying the way Derek had been bespelled by the magic of your touch. The buttons of his shirt came undone, and when you finally fell to your knees in front of him, you sucked hard on the skin where his abs met his pelvis.

"Shit. (Y/N), you don't... we don't have to--"

"For God sake, will you shut up?" You chuckled. "Did you not hear anything I said? Or should I just demonstrate how badly I want you right now?"

You took Derek's lack of further objections as permission to go ahead.

His buckle and pants came off pretty quickly. The next to go was his boxer, and the sight that greeted you afterward had your most intimate part gushing in excitement.

You wrapped your fingers around his hardening length. Tentatively at first, but the blissed out look on Derek's face only spurred you on even further.

"Is this okay?"

Derek gulped down before answering, "Yes."

You began to move your hand up and down, feeling Derek going stiffer and stiffer in your hand.

"Holy fuck," Derek cursed when you took his tip in your mouth.

He tasted divine on your tongue. It took a little while for your muscles to fully relax around his impressive size, but when they did, you began to bob your head back and forth, moving in tandem with the hand still wrapped around the rest of him that you couldn't fit entirely in your mouth.

"Yeah, just like that, pretty bug. You're doing so good," he panted.

Derek continued giving his praises, his words--along with his fingers in your hair--doing things to your body that had your thighs clamping down tightly. You began rocking in rhythm with the pace of your head and hand, trying to put pressure against the pulsing need inside your warmth.

"Fuck. Trying to relieve yourself, sweetheart? Sucking me off gets you all hot and needy, huh?" Derek moaned at the sight of you on your knees, teary eyed and full of him, writhing from the budding heat in the pit of your stomach.

You gave him one last suck before he pulled you up to your feet.

"Come here," Derek ordered before kissing you fervently.

He maneuvered the two of you from the doorway, following the direction to the bedroom that you had vaguely gestured at him. Once inside, Derek pushed you towards the bed while he threw his shirt onto the floor.

"You're naked," you mused in between giggles.

"And you're overdressed," he retorted. Your hands began to undo the buttons of your shirt before Derek's hand stopped them. "Let me."

He discarded your shirt in no time, your bra following not far behind.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered before leaving feathery kisses across your collarbone.

He started sucking on your nipple while fiddling the other one, enjoying the way your body reacted to every stroke of his tongue and every pinch of his fingers.

"Derek, please. I want to... I want--"

"Hm?" Derek paused his ministrations, keeping his hand busy by running it up and down your side. "What do you want, pretty bug? Tell me."

"I want you to touch me."

"I am touching you."

You whined. "You know what I meant."

With a chuckle, Derek left one last kiss on your breastbone before continuing his erotic journey southward. After sucking a mark underneath your belly button, he started fumbling with the button of your slacks.

"Fucking hell, sweetheart. You're soaked," he mulled out loud once you were free of the confine of your pants.

Even with your panties still standing as a barrier between Derek and your mound, you could feel every breath that Derek blew against your most sensitive part. There was no doubt surrounding the truth behind Derek's words. You could feel your wetness dripping down your thighs. It didn't exactly help that Derek had begun littering tiny kisses around your hip and pelvic bones.

When his lips made contact with your clothed core, the strangled moan you let out almost sounded animalistic.

"You taste so good," Derek said before diving in once again. "I could spend an eternity between your legs and die a very happy man."

"That's nice, but I don't want you to die just yet."

You tugged at his neck to bring his face back to yours, pressing both of your lips together in another heated kiss that had your toes curling inward.

"No more playing, please. I need you inside me right now," you rasped desperately.

"I still need to get you ready for me, sweetheart." Derek pecked your lips once more. "Why don't you lie back and relax, hm?"

Gingerly, you followed Derek's instruction. He made a quick work of removing your panties before his deft fingers began exploring your folds.

"So wet for me."

He inserted one finger at first, two, and then three inside your pulsing channel. It was a bit of a stretch, tight but not uncomfortable. Derek slid them in and out of you until you turned into a panting mess underneath him.

"Derek--"

He shushed you gently. "I know, Bug. I know."

He worked as if he was a musician and you were his favorite piece of instrument. The heel of his palm found solace on top of your bundle of nerves, drawing circles over and over again to the rhythm of his fingers inside of you.

Before long, you could feel the coil inside of your body snapping, sending your whole entire being shaking as you fell to the edge of a newfound ecstasy.

Throughout all of it, Derek kept his fingers sliding in and out of you, helping you ride your orgasm until your body had finally stopped spasming.

When you opened your eyes, you were welcomed with Derek's awed smile and warm eyes.

"Hi, gorgeous," you murmured breathlessly, still floating along the aftermath of your earlier pinnacle.

"Hey," he whispered back, kissing your temple with the most delicate of touches. "How are you feeling?"

"Blisfully sated."

Derek laughed at your overtly honest answer.

"Are you tired?" he then asked. "Because we don't have to do anything else if you feel--"

"Derek Morgan, I swear to God. If you try to talk me out of this one more time..."

His responding grin was mischievous. "Yes, ma'am."

After one last kiss to your lips, Derek started lining himself up with your entrance. The sensation of his tip pressing against you awakened the momentarily satiated hunger inside your lower belly. And when he finally entered you--slowly but surely--you could physically feel the air being punched right out of your lungs.

"Oh my God," you breathed out once he had filled you to the brim. "You're huge."

"And you're so fucking tight."

He pulled out his length until only his tip was left inside before driving back in with enough force to shatter your entire world. In no time at all, Derek had finally found a steady rhythm. Moving in and out of you while his lips and hands paid attention to the other parts of your body.

"Derek, Derek, Derek," you moaned his name endlessly, relishing every drag of his member against the pulsating muscles of your inner wall.

You could feel every ridge of him inside of you, along with every brush of kisses that he scattered all over your skin, every lazy drag of fingers on the curvatures of your body. All of your senses had been heightened around the presence of him.

"So fucking beautiful. Fuck. Such a good bug for me, hm? So desperate for my cock that you couldn't even wait to sober up."

The heat of Derek's words fueled your fire even further. You began to writhe underneath him, scrambling to make sure that every inch of you was touching every part of him.

"Tell me how good I'm making you feel," Derek ordered between his thrusts.

"So good, Derek. Oh God, you feel so good inside of me. Please, please, please."

Your desperation was the motivation he needed. Derek shifted you both until he was on his knees and your body lying halfway across his lap. When he continued to move again, the vigor of his pace nearly had you seeing stars.

"You feel like heaven, pretty bug. So tight and warm. Bet no one can fuck you as good as I do."

"No one, Derek. No one."

"Are you close, sweetheart? Hm? Tell me how close you are."

"I'm close. So close," you cried out. "I'm gonna... Derek, I'm gonna--"

As if he was reading your mind, Derek brought down his fingers and started drawing tight circles on your clit. All the while, he never relented the pace he had set inside your pussy.

"You wanna cum?" Derek groaned as he continued to nudge you further towards the edge.

You blinked back the tears that threatened to spill over, nodding your head frantically.

"Use your words, Bug."

"Yes, yes. I wanna cum. Please, Derek, make me cum."

And just like that, Derek sent a powerful thrust that had your toes curling, ears buzzing, and body shuddering.

Your second orgasm washed over you in big, tidal waves. A silent scream broken into desperate pleas and moans as you rode the high with Derek still inside of you. It didn't take long for him to follow behind. The sensation of you cumming around him became the very thread of his own undoing.

He spilled everything he had inside of you before his spent body fell into your arms. The air was heavy with the smell of sex and the panting of both of your breaths. You reveled in the aftermath of what just transpired, running your hands up and down the muscular back of the person responsible for your satisfied smile.

When Derek finally lifted his head up, he was adorning a smile identical to the one you had.

"That was--" you started, but struggled to find the right word to say.

Fortunately, Derek knew exactly what you meant. "Yes. Yes, it was."

He left a single kiss, then two, and three under your breast, before resting his chin back on the soft cushion of your abdomen.

"Derek?"

"Hm?"

You smiled at his tired hum. "You're sleepy, aren't you?"

"No," he replied, betraying the slight droop in his voice.

"That's okay. Go to sleep, baby."

You weren't even sure that Derek had heard your last statement, because not even two seconds later, he had started snoring softly against your skin.

Slowly as to not disturb the sleeping giant on top of your body, you pulled the comforter and tugged the edge across Derek's shoulders. Before long, you, too, were slipping into the deep slumber with Derek's steady intakes of breath as your lullaby.

Derek's weight on top of you was an anchor, one that you could have never dreamed of physically having outside of your hopeless fantasies. But Derek was real, and he was there with you in the comfort of your bedroom.

For a moment, everything was alright with the world. But then again, this was only the beginning of an unforeseen end. And as much as you wanted to convince yourself otherwise, you knew that inevitably, something was bound to go wrong.

You just hoped that when it did, you would have the strength to make it all right again.

　　在那一天，浓雾封锁了一切。　　在那一天，他成为了一艘幽灵船的船长。　　在那一天，他跨过浓雾，直面了一个被彻底颠覆而又支离破碎的世界——昔日的秩序已经荡然无存，奇诡的异象主宰着文明社会之外的无尽海域，孤岛城邦与挑战大海的船队已然成为文明世界仅存的灯火，而旧日的阴影却仍在幽邃深海中蠢蠢欲动，等待继续吞噬这个将亡未亡的世界。　　但对于失乡号的新船长而言，只有一个问题是他首先要考虑的—— 　　谁知道船咋开啊？！

This is a post-apocalyptic fic but I think it had been written for so long that the author seemed to forget some original setting like the "rule-based horror" trope. I am reading it on and off.

Homestuck: Beyond Canon (reactions page 667 - 694)

Ok it's been a busy few weeks but I finally got around to writing this reaction, haha

So, I was correct that we'd be getting a perspective switch to someone other than Vriska. The question is how long it will take before we see her again.

In a meta way I think page 888 would make the most sense. I suppose that means Vriska wouldn't play a role in the huge upcoming confrontation flash? Unless Vriska does escape 'hell' WITHIN the flash? Maybe we just get to see a silly montage of Vriska refusing to hug her other self, as a comic relief betweeen some other intense scenes, until she eventually does and then still plays a role in the confrontation.

We'll have to see!

But anyway, dang this was an intense update.

Jade made a shield to protect the ship in the upcoming battle. Does it mean Jade, Vrissy, Yiffy and Harry won't play much of a role in the confrontation then? I could see Yiffy and maybe Vrissy sneaking out like Tavros did but we'll see.

After reading this interaction between Rose and Jade I had to briefly reread the previous conversation between them and Kanaya again to fully understand what they were talking about (I mean wow it's already been 8 months since that update, time flies).

I love how they referenced the "hamster guy" again, which Jade talked about in that previous update as someone who cooked their hamster and apologized about it to Jade.

I'm very worried about where this is going with Rose. Her internal rambling about there being no truth reminds me of the early conversation with John about where the Candy timeline would be headed if John didn't face Lord English.

Rose claims she sees the future; that both Vriska and Jane will fail and "just about everyone" is going to fail. Calliope will sacrifice herself fruitlessly, Rose will be shot in the head…

That all sounds bad. Really, really bad. "[S] Game Over" type of bad.

But, the fact that it's stated out loud right now makes me think… it won't happen? Maybe Rose has it completely wrong and it's just impossible to get a definite look into the future of the Candy timeline. Or maybe Vriska will be able to change the tide here, to have things go completely differently.

If Rose does get in a comatose state however, that sounds eerily similar to the state of her physical body in the Meat timeline.

This does explain why Rose is not making a true effort to salvage her marriage with Kanaya though, because she wants Kanaya to move on from her if Rose is comatose.

I just hope it all doesn't go down that road.

Unless the plan of the creative team is to utterly decimate the Candy timeline and leaving only the ones who don't have a "duplicate" in the Meat timeline? I hope it doesn't come to that.

For one thing, let's not forget that the last time we saw Jade we saw she still had a captchalogue card of a corpse, implied to be Dave, which I assume will still play an important role in some way.

This update makes all of them look like Ancestors/Guardians again, especially the shot of Kanaya, Karkat and Meenah together. So epic. And also Jake coming from the shadows with only his glasses visible, feels like a classic Grandpa moment.

That scene though, holy shit… My thoughts went all over the place.

First I thought Jake successfully killed Jane when he shot her in the head. Then I thought Jane killed Jake when she started bashing him with his gun. And then I was so relieved to see Jake was still alive.

Poor, poor Jake. Just when you think he finally gets to do something incredibly important and stand up, destiny fails him.

But after Rose implied that a lot of people are going to get killed in the upcoming conflict, and Jake didn't die here yet, makes me hopeful that things will turn out differently than Rose expects them to.

I suppose there's nothing left to do but anxiously wait and see where the next update will go!

James Roach said in his news post an old, existing Homestuck song will be used in the flash. That makes me very excited.

But I wonder what unused song could be appropriate here? Is it Penumbra Phantasm? Something from Volume 10, or something way older? I have no clue, but I'm excited to find out.

I crave more KUNIKUZUSHI ( PRE-FATUI ) + READER please

Like how would Ei and the other archons react to them

Maybe some sweet moments between them like the first time Kuni calls us mom or when we found him or getting him settled in to the house like shopping for clothes and things for his room together

And what about future aspects like the fatui and traveler how would those differ from the original story line

❝ ANSWERS I ; KUNIMITSU-AU ❞

- Kunimitsu-AU is from my previous post where Reader basically adopts Kunikuzushi(Scaramouche), so none of the betrayal shit happened.

WARNING; THIS WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE INAZUMA AND SUMERU ARCHON QUESTS

That aside, let's get down to answering! ( some are going to be in a separate post )

◆ THE ARCHONS ; ABOUT (NAME) + KUNI

Our dear Electro Archon, Ei, didn't even know about it until she decided to get out of her plane of Euthymia because of the Traveller. Once she was informed, she find it hard to believe considering this was (Name) they were talking about. Plus, they uh... They don't really get along that well.

ABOUT (NAME);

"It's unsettling to know she resides somewhere here in Inazuma.. She always liked making things quite difficult for me, especially in the past. Though, worry not, I am able to see through her and her words thanks to Miko"

Ah, seems like she doesn't want to go into further detail.

ABOUT KUNIMITSU/KUNIKUZUSHI II;

"Kunimitsu..? Ah, I see.. I'm glad he's doing alright.. Really? But how did she—? I'm a bit surprised that she was capable of understanding how he works.. In the emotional sense. He seems to be doing quite alright .. Traveller, can I ask you to do me a small favor?"

The favor was simply to keep an eye out for the woman and for the prototype-puppet.

Oh, but what about the God of Freedom himself? Barbatos- who calls himself Venti had known since the day (Name) came to Mondstadt with Kuni for the Windblume Festival. And oh my, was he surprised and amused by the fact it was Ei's puppet that was with her.

ABOUT (NAME):

"Ohoho~! I didn't expect you to know her. I wonder what disguise did she choose for herself this time?.. That aside! She's still the same neutral I know, just less chaotic unlike a few thousand years ago- what? Of course she's immortal. How else would she be able to look that young after raising Kunimitsu?"

Unlike Ei, it seems like these two are on good terms.

ABOUT KUNIMITSU ;

"My bitter-loving 'nephew'.. Back then, I used to teach him how to play the flute. There was also the time I tried introducing him to some of the wine here but his mother wouldn't let me.. Did I forget to mention he's a mama's boy? Much like her, he sometimes comes by to 'gossip' about certain things happening. Take a pair of lovers from the Shrine for example, I've heard—"

Well, they seem pretty close too (surprisingly).

For the God of Contracts, this was something he and Ei can agree with. Zhongli wasn't as surprised but it was definitely something he did not expect from the woman to do. In all honesty, he thought she was just going to use it as some way to cause chaos. ( Thank the stars that didn't happen )

ABOUT (NAME) ;

"It has indeed been years since I've last spoken to her. It seems like she's a bit more self-controlled for these past hundred years.. She's welcome to visit Liyue as long as she doesn't do any of her absurd 'pranks'"

Such a talkative man, yet said very little about the woman.

ABOUT KUNIMITSU ;

"I've heard from Xiao that he was raised by (Name), correct? It's a relief that he didn't pick up any bad habits from her over the years.. at least for now."

Traveller and Paimon can only wonder what those habits are.

Now, Lesser Lord Kusanali had known this since the woman likes to keep her updated about the outside world. You could say she also sorta raised the dendro archon a bit as well. In fact, it was (Name)'s idea for her to help her nation from the shadows if others weren't pleased with her existence.

ABOUT (NAME) ;

"Before Sumeru had accepted me.. (Name) was one of the close companions I've had when I had first woken up. As chaotic as she seems to the other archons, much like a chameleon- It is in their nature to blend in, like how it's in her nature to switch when she wants to"

??? The Traveller and Paimon were still processing the analogy. They'll just take the first sentence as an answer.

ABOUT KUNIMITSU ;

"Kuni used to be my 'student' when he first received his vision. He wanted to surprise and impress (Name) at the time so he was very eager to learn as quick as he can, like cat wanting their owner's attention. It's a relief that he managed to avoid the dangerous path for his future... If he hadn't been found by her,.."

Strange, it seems like Sumeru's god is aware of something.

AS FOR HOW THIS WILL EFFECT THE STORY...

> Let's start off with the Tatarasuna incident. This was handled differently than the OG thanks to the Reader's existence and Kuni's awareness.

> Instead of Kuni's second betrayal, it was his first time having to learn to accept that some will sacrifice themselves for the greater good. ( The storyline where Niwa and an unknown swordsman entered the furnace instead while Kuni helped evacuate the others )

> Thanks to the Reader, he was able to cope with what happened without any misunderstandings. And as for the Doctor? This is how he figures out the Electro Archon had created a puppet, which made him want to figure out how to do it as well ( since he's aware he can't easily manipulate Kuni in this )

> As for the fall of the Raiden Gokuden, let's just say Dottore was the main cause. How? By creating a puppet ( with some help from Sandrone, although he refused to admit it ), and experimenting on it by causing the downfall of the clans.

> This puppet did however end up getting destroyed by Kuni right after he found out what happened.

> So don't worry about Kazuha and the Kamisato Siblings, they're fine.

> Though, the fall of the clans did cause them to stop still. Unless said otherwise by the remaining descendants of those clans in the present, who came to terms with it.

> Oh, but what about the Fatui? As of now, there's only 10 Fatui Harbingers. The Balladeer never existing in the first place.

> For the Delusion Factory incident, Columbina will replace Scaramouche. And by that, I mean the Traveller will end up 'meeting' her. ( Though, it was more like, hearing her** )

> The Traveller meets Kuni during his own story quest ( if y'all haven't met in the unreconciled stars event where he helps the Adventurer's guild ) that takes place after Ei's first story quest.

> As for the Reader, you'll meet her during Kuni's quest and is mentioned by Yae during the training part of the Inazuma Quest.

> This will also have a bit more impact when it comes to Signora's funeral. Where Dottore made the decision to take the Electro Gnosis and see if he could create a 'god' with it.

> Everything in the Sumeru Quest, excluding 3.3 had happened, except replace Scaramouche with a prototype puppet created by Dottore, and Dottore will be replaced with Webtoon!Dottore, who threw a tantrum in the end before making the deal with Kusanali / Nahida.

If there's a plot hole anywhere, feel free to point it out! I didn't exactly plan everything through since this was nothing but a thought at first

dentist update (first time in about 3ish years) - would love input on this if you work in the dental field and notice something amiss here. for the most part this office has done great work, but some conflict between them pushing for more work and my insurance not covering it was a big part of why it took me so long to go back

had a cleaning with no numbing, went ok. Just a few sensitive spots that hurt for a fraction of a second

i thought i had an abscess but I don't (yet)(partially exposed nerve)

I need a lot of work. they want to root canal/post/cap like 4 or 5 of my teeth (I definitely have some rough ones but I wonder how necessary R-P-C's are versus like, just getting a root canal and filling). There are a few "just fillings" that I need though.

I have a broken tooth that needs to be pulled

one of the teeth they want to work on is one they already R-P-C'd but after the x-ray, dentist said there is a "lesion" near the root. I have no pain there but he said maybe it didn't heal properly or something. This is suspect to me considering it hasn't been a problem at all, but he did show me the little dark spot on the xray.

after the cleaning, the dentist pulled out a big filling I had that he said looked like it was about to fall out. He barely tugged at it and it fell out. He didn't give me a temp filling or anything. I asked about it and he told me to just keep it clean until they can work on it. (I was trying to chew on the left side of my mouth to keep food out of the place where I thought I had the abscess on the right, and now I have an open tooth on the left too so I might shove some temporary filler in there until my next appt next week).

curiously, they told me that everything would be covered by my insurance except for the cleaning they'll want to do in 6 months, which isn't too pricey. I expressed surprise to this because a bunch of stuff didn't get authorized last time I was there. The lady said something like "don't be surprised, it's always been covered" which concerns me because a lot of stuff wasn't approved last time by the insurance. So maybe I need their definition of "covered" vs "authorized" or something.

I have another appt next week.

The reason I list all this stuff out is to clarify it all in my head and have a record of what happened that I can refer back to when I will inevitably forget. Also I asked for a copy of the dental plan list and the prices, and the lady told me it would be emailed to me. So far no email.

hi, i'd like some advice!

one of my headmates is just beginning to come to terms with the whole being plural thing. they are confused, scared, and they feel like they have no identity.

i'm just going to copy and paste what they wrote earlier because that's a lot easier than trying to re-write all of this from my perspective.

(sorry in advance, i know this is long!)

i feel really lost and confused. my brain is super foggy right now. it's hard to think and my head hurts.

i really want to understand what's happening to me but pretty much every time i've tried to think about system stuff for too long today, i end up dissociating.

i'm not the same person who was in control of this body two days ago.

i don't know what to call them. i feel like i shouldn't reveal their name for privacy but we are struggling to tell everyone apart from each other. i guess they would be the host?

the host thought they were the only one, until yesterday. i don't know where they are now.

the host has been dealing with dissociation for a long time now, but until now, it was just spacing out, not feeling real, forgetting things, and kind of being on autopilot.

we have never been aware of any separate consciousness until yesterday.

we switched for the first time in our whole life (as far as i know) yesterday. we didn't notice it as it was happening.

it was like the metaphor where the frog doesn't notice it's being boiled because the temperature changes so gradually. if that makes sense.

the switches we've experienced so far have been sort of blurry. it was like one person kind of faded and melted away into another.

the host was there, as they had been for all of their life.

then at some point Dave was there and he realized that he was not the same person who had been there before.

after Dave left, I think the host might have temporarily shown up, kind of freaked out, and then left. (if i'm remembering correctly)

with how confusing and vague the switches have been, it's hard to keep track of who is who.

the host had a very distinct and complex personality and identity. so did Dave. but other than that, we don't know anything about who is fronting.

Dave was so sure and relaxed. he understood who he was. he just instantly knew he was Dave. but i don't have that and it scares me.

i feel like i have no identity right now. i know i am definitely not the host or Dave. but other than that, i feel like no one and nothing. i feel blank.

we have just been referring to my self as the third one. or three. since i was the third person to appear inside this brain. we aren't good with names.

but i'm actually not sure if i still am the third.

i know so little about myself that i can't tell if i have switched or not.

hey there, we don’t really see a question here, but it sounds like your headmate is struggling a lot. to us, it sounds like they could be having some issues with depersonalization, which is a dissociative symptom.

we’ve made a resource post compiling links where people can learn more about depersonalization (and derealization, another dissociative symptom). we’ll link it below, in case there’s an article listed with information that could be useful for your system and this headmate in particular.

for what it’s worth, struggling to figure out who you are and dealing with a weak or fragile sense of self is a very common experience in lots of different systems. with some patience, encouragement from others, and a bit of self-exploration, hopefully these feelings will subside over time.

not all headmates in all systems have a well-rounded, complex, distinct personality. it’s okay to want this for yourself if you don’t have it, and it’s okay to accept yourself as you are even if your identity is a bit hazy. we hope your system can encourage this headmate to explore different aspects of their personality and start to question who they want to be and what they want for their life.

also, dissociation can be extremely difficult to cope with. it can be really hard trying to ground yourself and center yourself in your own mind, body, and personhood when you’re struggling with dissociation. our post with some grounding tips may be of some use here… but please try to have patience and understanding with this headmate even if they still dissociate a lot after attempting to ground.

and, as we so often say here, this would be a really good thing to bring up in therapy, or with a trusted, qualified mental health professional (which we most definitely are not). i’m sorry we couldn’t provide better, more useful advice to you. but we’re wishing you the best of luck in connecting with and reassuring this headmate.

❗️❗️❗️I'm pretty sure I rambled way too much in this ask. It's alright to delete it if you feel uncomfortable reading/answering it.

Hi! :D How are ya doing? I'm glad Oblique trusted you enough to pass the account to you. Even though I have not met Oblique personally before, I bet that Oblique was a fantastic friend to you, and I'm sure you were to her aswell.

I first found Oblique when she posted chapter 3 of the fic. I remember being so engrossed in her story that I would refresh her blog every day to see whether or not she posted. Then I guess everthing just started to go downhill from there, though I'm pretty sure it had already been like that before I came along.

I really wish I had have reached out to her more. I shot a quick "ask" to her in panic when I realized that she hadn't posted in a few weeks. But the relief I felt when she answered back didn't last long.

I was getting ready to go to school when I saw that Oblique had posted recently, and I didn't really get the chance to prepare myself when I clicked in her blog to see what it was. I felt my heart sink as I read through the update you posted. I thought that I could have interacted and questioned her more about her condition, and that I could have cared more to realized that she hadn't posted anything in the following months, but there was so little I could do now.

I'm really sorry for making you read through my ramblings, but I guess I couldn't really hold back my regret back anymore. The guilt weighed on me more and more everyday until it eventually just lead to me typing this out, and the air around me actually feels more breathable now. I hope you don't get weighed down by this situation, and that you thrive to see everyday happily.

Hello! I’m sorry it took me so long to reply, I saw your message yesterday while I was at work and wanted to take some time while thinking of my response.

Oblique was my best friend. In a way, I never realized a friend could or should be what Oblique was to me. What she still is. So many of my most treasured memories are with her there, and it’s strange now knowing that I won’t get more of those.

As you said, Oblique health really took a hit at the end of last year, and at the start of this year, we were told that she wouldn’t make it till Christmas. Come April we knew she wouldn’t make it to her birthday in September. But for us, we were aware of the steady decline- it didn’t come as a shock post weeks later. Not like it did for everyone here.

I know Oblique was appreciative of people just liking or reading her work. I know she definitely appreciated the message that you sent her, but she wasn’t one to demand or expect that sort of thing. She knew people cared, it’s the entire reason I think she really wanted me to continue after her passing. No point in updating if no one is reading right?

I do ask that you don’t blame yourself, or look back on what could have been. You have nothing to be guilty of. In whatever way you interacted with Oblique, she wasn’t one to forget the kindness shown to her.

Please don’t feel bad or apologize for asking. I’m glad I can share more about my friend with people.

Be kind to yourself, I know she wouldn’t want you to hold the what-if scenarios over your head.

💛

LONGBOARD NIGHTS PT.2 [JANUARY]

"A self-doubting Husk hunter has to face their trauma when the partner they rely on is injured during an infected house breaching"

(original logline that has now change a lil)

I have been working on the script for Longboard Nights for around a month now, maybe a little more. It has definitely been more of a challenge that I'd thought it would be, considering I had already written a 10 page screenplay on LN (Longboard Nights) in Film Production Management a while back, though the ideas are more developed and different now.

I firstly want to mention, before I get into the nitty gritty of writing, that Ben McMorran is a pleasure to work with, I haven't felt such positivity from a director ever! I have never been called King so many times, I love it. He really has a vision for this project, I actually call it his baby sometimes, he nurtures it like a real human baby that needs like food and water and burping (this makes no sense but needed a strong simile to really get the idea across). In addition to Mr Mcmorran, Jack and Beth are producing LN, I have complete faith putting this tough challenge in their hands. Alex is cinematographer and I've already head some of the plans for the visual style of the film, which all sound so experimental and prettttyyyyyy!

Anyways, writing has been a journey. I definitely should have started writing long before I did, I think Ben hinted at starting before Christmas but silly ole me wanted to completely forget about uni until term started again. But got my finger out eventually.

I started with some meetings with Ben about world-building, because I was finding myself lost when trying to begin writing, I didn't have a full understanding of the world. He eventually put together a book on The World of Longboard Nights, so helpful! I have usually had this open whilst writing. Ben also put together things I could watch and read for inspirations, like Arcane and the 4-6 minute shorts the same creators make, which were great because they dealt with character arcs well in such short time, without any story feeling too rushed or sparse. I eventually got Draft 1 finished.

I also sent Draft 1 to Kate to get feedback in writing class, which I've really been enjoying. Kate proposed the, at first, horrific idea to completely change the dynamics of the characters, this meant changing a lot of dialogue and general action in the script. We talked it through and she was definitely right with the idea. To break it down a little... Alex (she/her, protagonist) is an unconfident character, who thinks she needs to fight a Husk to overcome her trauma. Casca (they/them) is a confident and skilled Husk Hunter, who finally brings Alex along on a job after her asking for so long. So, what Kate proposed was switching the character traits, and having Alex more confident and a regular Husk Hunter, and Casca is less into the job and more shy. This means when we have Alex's arc after she freezes up and fails to fight the Husk, resulting in Casca getting injured, it's more surprising and a stronger moment, as we didn't expect her to freeze and she is so confident and trained in combat. Ben was also happy with this change.

Anyways I am a few drafts down now, and will have the final draft completed by Saturday 11th (Bob Marleys birthday). I will do a separate post and more in-depth post about the writing process in terms of story and characters, this is just a vague update :)

I am also doing production design for this project, which I am SO EXCITED to begin planning, I have so many ideas!!!!

speaking of it being exactly the point in time it is re: both impending 14th xmas show & impending / ongoing Tfw Twitter like naturally seeing more people posting like well btw my bluesky, which first i didn't check out b/c it was all oh invite from preexisting user only, & already i'm like twitter is not That for me lol. where i'm like hello bestie, invite code? though some ppl were just throwing them out for anyone. i also only ever followed so many people, no more than 300 probably. then i would've tried it out at least to see what was going on in there, but b/c it requires 2FA via phone i was like well i can't do that either lol. & by this point i'm like eh....cue flashback transition wavy image effect & harpesque or chimelike audio cues like ah my twitter journey itself lol. starting with, & at this point, & mostly in between, truly never very "social media" to me. but also that it has, as has all this, just that the supposed most "social" aspect of it wasn't relevant to me, rather, Also social aspects of platforms that just supposedly don't count as much or aren't the most proper real usage

like i forget i had a quite early twitter account again like just to try it, as i was more wont to do then i guess lol. never had an instagram account but like i did have a snapchat for a while (then used it so little i deleted it) & a vine (Was deleted. rip) but like twitter's 140 character limit then like um when you're Me? & even less image/video support but like that was never the main thing obv, & that it was just Early & like what was anyone using it for? well not much of interest until it was like, okay, this isn't like facebook about moving preexisting in-person connections online, there's not really room to even share much at once, not so In Usage ppl are really here for Topics on the completely general site & when they are just already doing that elsewhere....so like only when the "this is best suited to quick, realtime, real location updates about what's going on in your life" format became more relevant on twitter than as it was expressed on other platforms for Current Events(tm) / It's News & Politics Time reasons, then i was like oh okay i'm back

which was an uptick in Twitter Usage more generally i think, & thus more, & more varied, material on the site overall, & just that it had been around a while more & generally built that userbase & people organically figuring out what they want to do with it, which big time includes the current events live reporting & coordinating, uh oh i wonder if the richest shithead (& person) in the world ends up with this site ""despite"" its becoming so News relevant its basically part of public infrastructure (but not Actually Public, as per it being sold off, & ppl needing to privately have devices & services to even access it) & tanks that. so that i Really joined twitter as per its being News Site & that's definitely what it is to me now hence it's like well yeah i lose things by not having twitter if that's what it comes to, but i can more relevantly find parts of that in certain other actually primarily devoted to news sites & i am not particularly more motivated to get bksy which i can't anyway or instagram which i guess i could but i've been Mirror Sitesing it up for getting specific theatre material mainly lol & while there is inconvenience & limitation to that like, eh. just been rolling with it so far

anyway & like certainly a time when there were More Posts on the tl on twitter for me lol but it's also like, while i was never having whatever like peak normcore twitter experience lol lord but i was beset with like the Daily Big Convos like the so ever present "broad Media tastes / opinion statement ppl are bound to disagree with; qts about the obviousness of [really specific statement] or [also broad statement] if you're not tasteless & clueless & ruining culture" like hey kill me & this classic Still in my periphery sometimes. or the classic just New Media News discussions like all the tv & movies terms i Filtered Forever....but really like, as with many things, my fave genre was The Jokes. the standalone rts. the Events of be there for the night of jokes. that & mostly the current events side of things, main twitter to me lol

& like well it's not even Real that like oh what's Truly social in any context is what's most like a "normal" in-person chitchat. my god, phones are ruining Connection (ppl who don't want to talk to you or even be here anyway, who are interacting w/other ppl directly & indirectly) like well we're all existing in the context of affecting & being affected by everyone else in the world & who has been in the world so hope this helps lol. & like how i think about how like yeah as a kid i was for the most part stuck at home & Being Online was less of a thing but largely inaccessible anyway til a point (& still partially, & then Less So again for a few years) but like that i read all the time? what was Not Social about that in that people make books & people are behind a book existing where i can read it & people express things in books & i interpret them. what was Not Social about [same & me reading newspaper comics, news] & same & Tv & all these ways indeed Other People were within the realm of that home, obviously not physically present, obviously multiple degrees of indirectness, obviously they weren't chatting to me & i wasn't chatting back. & Yet.

then anyhow i'm like, sure did some of like fairly more "direct" thus supposedly "realer re: Social" Exchanges that are fun & i cherish but like the main thing in my mind re: the scrapbook that is My Twitter Memories is really like, dec 2019, primarily twitter is where i followed along w/that year's xmas xtrav. b/c i knew it existed at all already, certainly seen some material from prior shows lol, but yknow i'd only arrived on the scene really a year prior (nov/dec particularly, re: like think it was october i was like it's proper deh time / scene arrival, then into like wait this one actor some more, thus bmc & tbs quickly becoming known pretty thoroughly to me) & was following along w/bmc bway as i was just in time to really do, from the lgw recordings drop in dec onward....overlap w/the 11th annual show actually but that was too early lol, i was hardly awares. plus then also increasing busyness with "oops, shown up to billions big time as the [you're not supposed to exist] audience" lol. was not really expecting the bway closure to hit me w/Quite the level of malaise that it did, but aproposly that like the xmas show was well-timed where i could like lift up my head like hey yeah okay what are we doing here (joys & delights to follow) which, you know, considering the level of malaise for [many people directly involved] that was worked through to get up & do the incredibly high-effort show, & those people being like yeah good decision talk about a pickmeup (& obviously not knowing Last Chance For A While ahead of time, serendipity in hindsight) like i do treasure that for all of us

like had a great time even just following Fairly Real-Time Glimpses which i did primarily via twitter. the glimpses were Delights even with the like, light context of "i barely know anything about the xmas show yet" & "these are glimpses" like there are just things about the nature of these individual Moments that delight & invigorate me. what is the precise word joe was using about it that i was like Yeah That....checking the interview transcription from myself....wait not from the interview i thought it was from so now i'm just still trying to remember + describe w/synonyms myself like, the playfulness, the Whimsy, we're at all raucous we're giddy we're throwing snow & the entire audience is singing along & hugging each other & it's snowing inside 54 below & everyone leaves reeking of peppermint & happiness. what was i saying. well that i love this show i haven't even technically seen lol, certainly not in attendance as its indeed truest most direct form, but mine has what it has to me which is a lot. & has included that like what a surprise that what resonates so big time & harmoniously with me means like a no context peak novel clip of the chestnut medley on twitter in 2019 was sending me like oh i'm living. as set up to later be like, hiatus time? well i'm moved this december to dig Archivally through instagram & some of facebook stuff & find all these xmas shows & rehearsal material prior, which was indeed educational & only yet more of a delight. & here we are where i'm like [scream] & what a gift it was to me last year & it's like i live laugh love cry, truly, & yeah like the "whee xmas fun b/c the Least fun is both the solemn religious + At Home(tm) With Family(tm) stuff & the most fun is the spontaneous free for all elements" ya gotta wassail well!!!

anyway that's the tl;dr for me. perhaps the most specific cherished thing twitter did was be a portal that shows me the joe iconis christmas extravaganza

#absolutely 100% of access to the joeuvre is via Online for sure. & basically like 99% of other stuff i like & talk about ever #which i am talking about via online lol. like of theatre lately though i've done actual Live Audience attendance stuff #even sort of adjacent / just getting to overlap participation ever wahoo #joe iconis christmas extravaganza

🆂🆃🅾🅻🅰🆂 × 🅻🅾🅾🅽🅰 ( ♂️ )

A very complex couple indeed, but they have good potential to heal each other's scars... Be the person who will understand the past and fix the present.

🦉 `🐺 ⇢︎ #ˢᵗᵒᵒⁿᵃ ᵒʳ #ˡᵒᵒˡᵃˢ ?

My ideas for this ship, In case of updates, probably with the arrival of the new episodes of the second season, I will make a post to let you know !

I think that their story can only begin after a definitive break between Stolas and Blitzø, so after weeks, if not months in which he is unable to contact him or in which he postpones appointments, Stolas asks Octavia for his son's number, and then getting in touch with him, however rude, organizes him out of pity and hope. Which ends in the worst possible way, in a definitive breakup.

‌Loona is told to accompany the royal outside, which he does, standing by and watching him, sorry, knowing how sincere his love is. It's weird for Loona to feel sorry for someone he can't really call hisself attached to, it annoys him.

‌In the period following this, Stolas tries to understand himself, get back on his feet, but it is a pity that the frequent presence of Loona in his house does not help him to forget Blitzø, on the contrary it catalyzes his negative feelings and reflects them towards the hell hound, who for his part does not want to pay attention to it, understanding the delicate situation, also wanting to help in some way, because by chain reaction, if Stolas doesn't feel well, Octavia can't be that cheerful either.

‌So the young wolf tries in some way to do what he can, make himself useful when present, have a healthy conversation at the table as much as possible and clarify himself with Stolas, which he will try to do after weeks of grim and suffering looks, bitter words and a feeling of constant discomfort.

‌❝ Stolas, I need to talk to you ❞

The owl prince doesn't stop, as he simply passes by, which annoys Loona not a little, so he follows him and calls him, once, twice, nothing.

‌He then reaches out to him and places a paw on his nearest shoulder, but is hit by a thoughtful slap. Whereupon the ars goetia withdraws, displeased.

‌❝ O-oh excuse me Loona ! I didn't want to, I don't know what got me... ❞

‌He places his hand on the soft fur of his muzzle, where scratches are now imprinted, and observing his clumsy reaction, he realizes how terribly Blitzø has affected his son, in terms of trust, patience and the negative things he possesses. He is unable to withstand that contact and after showing him a mournful smile made of bitter sweetness, she disappears into his rooms.

‌From here on, Loona will take an interest in the owl's approval, messaging him without Octavia's knowledge, marveling at himself, feeling a heavy sense of guilt as his attraction to the prince grows.

And on the other hand, Stolas, tries to curb, albeit reluctantly, any sort of nice thought about the young wolf, who against all his expectations seems really interested, caring in his own way.

The thing seems to remain within the boundaries that Stolas has set for himself, until an invitation comes to him like a bolt from the blue, at lunch in any bar on an ordinary street, there is really nothing well studied, only the desire to meet for something more than a chat.

The desire is mutual, Stolas wants to control himself and Loona doesn't seem to show any gesture of affection outside the simple invitation, as if he expects something, but the owl is hurt by now, not inclined to risk his heart a second time, especially with the son of his first love, he would be naïve at this point.

I don't really know what could happen, I think Stolas would ask for explanations and Loona would be very disinclined to give any, so he rests his paw on his hand, looking away embarrassed, while the owl prince marvels and remains speechless, just going on with the meeting, chatting about for which Loona strives to look cultured.

‌At the end of this strange meeting, they leave each other with no little embarrassment, but starting to chat more regularly, Loona uses the excuse of asking for advice on his outfit or Stolas's to send or receive photos, both for the desire to feel him close and for the hormones of young age.

oh my goodness! I did not expect this to blow up so much! Thanks!

Now while i'm here... may as well rate all the gens...

(please note this is just my personal opinion, so don't pay too much mind if you don't agree. Also some of these are pretty biased, so emm... yeah.)

ALSO! I am not rating the remakes in this.

Gen 1(blue/yellow) A classic, the beginning of it all. Pokemon are memorable, gameplay is kinda hard(for me at least haha), I haven't beaten elite four yet cuz I got lost in victory road without an escape rope(I know, I was being stupid). Music is good and probably most memorable, some sprite work is a wee bit wonky but tbh I probably couldn't do much better. Gameplay got a bit boring at times, but I also have literally no attention span. Yellow was probably the best. I liked my lil chonky pikachu. 7/10

Gen 2(gold/crystal): I don't really remember much from my attempted playthrough since it's been a while since i've last played it(note, I didn't get past the 6th gym leader because back when I played it I was kinda lazy so I refused to level up and train my pokemon.), but i'm gonna try to rate it anyway. I like the features they introduced like pokemon breeding, shinies, and the phone(useless but I love it anyway) Good legendaries and characters but I do not like the level scaling(at least I think thats what its called) for the gym leaders, wild pokemon and elite four(even though I didn't beat it, I still tried to do some research). Love the fact they included all of Kanto in the postgame, I wish they would make better postgames for modern games. 6/10

Gen 3(sapphire): The first Pokemon game I played was sapphire! Love the characters, some of the pokemon and the level scaling(or curve? I still can't remember what the correct term is) is pretty good. Sprite work is cute and I like the story. I have not beaten Sapphire yet because a year or so ago my brother deleted my save file(I was at the elite four) and I was pretty bummed so I did not play it for a while, but I recently made a new save and I am going to beat it soon! Right now I am about to fight Winona. Music is definitely second most memorable, absolutely love those trumpet-y bangers of town themes. Love the introduction of pokemon contests, postgame from what I've heard is pretty good too. Hoenn as a region itself is probably a 7.8/10, too much water, but the games themselves? 9/10

Gen 4(platinum): Love these games. First pokemon game I actually beat was platinum. Nice characters, great story, super fun pokemon contests, best legendaries by far, fun, good postgame and something I have not seen in a long time(personally) in pokemon, MEMORABLE BATTLES! I will never forget that final moment in battle when I finally had made it, and beat Cynthia. I was shaking, after grinding for hours and so many failed attempts at beating the elite four, after hearing that intimidating theme song, I will always remember it! I will also remember the battle against Giratina, I had bought over 100 ultra balls for that battle(I wanted the masterball for a post game legendary) and It took many resets before I could catch her. But it was amazing! Gen 4 has some of the best games(especially hggs, but i'm not going over that today)so i'm rating it... 10/10

Gen 5: I have not played much of gen 5 since I am waiting until I get a physical copy before I go more into it(I tried an emulator, but playing the real games always hits different), so I will update once my copy has arrived(It's in the mail!) and I have beaten it. However, from what I have seen and heard about it, it seems amazing. I am automatically giving it a high rating because I love the character design, lore, agencyshipping, Nintendo DS sprite work(best sprite work in the history of pokemon)N and Pidove. I also enjoyed the black and white pokemon anime when I was younger. 11/10

Gen 6: Haven't played it, I want to someday but I can't find an emulator and I don't own a 2ds or 3ds. All I know about it is it introduced pokemon amie, mega evolutions, was the first 3D pokemon game and apparently had issues with the shared exp system(just from what my friends have told me). I was a huge fan of the X and Y anime when I was younger and me and my siblings would pretend to be ash and other trainers from it haha. I like the pokespe arc though, pretty good. Since I haven't played X or Y, I am gonna base this off how much I enjoyed the anime when I was younger and how much I like the pokespe arc. 8/10

Gen 7: Haven't played it either but I really want to, unfortunately until find a way to emulate it somewhere or afford a 3ds, I won't be able to play it. I like some of the pokemon and character designs. It looks like fun, but I also will be rating this based off the anime since I know nothing about it. 5/10 only because when I was younger I was disgusted by the anime. The games look really good though. Hope I can play one of them someday!

Gen 8(sword): Thank goodness im almost done. For me I liked the graphics, and that I could change my characters clothes. Sword was the first 3D pokemon game i played. I thought the 3D aspect was cool, me and my family loved the fact Galar is based off Scotland(we are scottish), however the champion battle kinda disappointed me. Leon was kinda hyped up a bit too much considering I one-shot most of his team. The battles leading up to him weren't really challenging either, and especially since after just finishing platinum, sword really felt like a walk in the park. It was a nice walk in the park though, I enjoyed it. I really liked the camping feature and that I could make curry. I was so very disappointed by the post game though. There's some stuff to do, but unless you enjoy something like pokemon breeding or competitive battling then there's not much to do other than get some more legendaries, buy stuff and complete your pokedex(unless you have the dlc.) Overall, 7/10. Lots of stupid memes and headcanons came out of swsh so...

Gen 9(scarlet): Scarlet was good, could have been so much better though. I like the open world feature, but the fps is so low I feel like i am trying to run a minecraft server on an N64, but slower.(sorry that might have been a little too harsh,) Nintendo literally released a half finished game. I love the concept. I do not like the execution. Also, the textures for the mountains look like they are just copy pasted out of ocarina of time or something. They also should have made the gym leaders not in a specific order? Like if its open world, shouldn't they not have a specific order?? I had no idea about this when first played and I ended up fighting the 4th gym leader first, 8th gym leader sixth and 1st gym leader last. I forget about the rest, but it's kinda funny imagining me walking in with my level 60+ team going into this poor little bug gym and sweeping the leader. Despite all this, the main problem with scarlet and violet are the battles, they are not really memorable, or significant, like I don't really get this warm feeling of satisfaction and pride thinking about when I beat scarlet, not like the feeling I get thinking about the battles in Sapphire or Platinum. Even Sword had more satisfactory and strugglesome battles than scarlet. I would talk about Geeta being too weak and too hyped up throughout the game(I one shot half her team), but everybody has already heard all of the Geeta slander by now, so i'm just going to end it by saying, post game was better than sword, still a little eh without the dlc but relatively good, and my favourite part of scarlet is that I can make the most horrific sandwiches known to mankind in this game. All that being said, I really liked scarlet, I just think Game Freak needs to stop rushing pokemon games and releasing them half finished. I am willing to wait another year as long as it's done(also, it gives Hidenori Kusaka and Satoshi Yamamoto more time to work on new pokespe chapters!! Give them a break, they just got back off hiatus, don't rush them!) For scarlet, i'll give it a 7/10. Only because I don't want this game only to be remembered by poor graphics, but by the horrific sandwiches i made, so i am removing the graphics and low fps from my final rating(however the Geeta battle did take it down from 8 point to 7. I'm sorry but she's so disappointing.

TLDR, Gen 5, 4 and 3 are my favourites.
