a child and their 9ft pet - astral express crew

summary; the adventures of a 7 year old and their large mythical beast called ossy.

[platonic] [7 year old! reader] [gender neutral! reader]

[buy me a kofi to support!]

a/n; this is the most steven universe shit i've seen /j /nm, that's what popped into my mind upon reading this ask. nothing wrong with it. just pointing it out KSDJKSJ also this is based off lion dog from chinese mythology which is what i assume you were describing from the shih tzu and also im rather familiar with the lion dog myself as someone who used to visit temples with my family (love those statues). anyways, hope you enjoy, you didn't really specify what type of work you wanted, so i did bullet fic/hcs

the crew met you when you were trying to avoid them

you're not really normal in the luofu, you were not really an anomaly but you weren't a normal kid either.

the general knew of you due to your larger than life pet.

well... it was more of a beast of mythic lore turned real but who's arguing about definitions here?

even if your pet was in a smaller form, they were still pretty big. about 4ft. maybe twice your height almost

but jingyuan let you have your pet as long as you weren't making trouble

anyways, back to the actual subject at hand.

the astral crew needed to find you since you were supposedly the young scholar of the luofu who seemed to know everything and loved learning about everything

you were almost a historian some would even say

but you didn't really like the idea of being a historian

you just like learning about everything

but you weren't the best around people

so when you met the crew .. .

you jumped right into your pet's fur, disappearing without a trace

"HUH?!"

"how did they disappear like that?"

"did they just jump into that animal's fur?"

march tries to reach out, but the dog barks angrily and backs up

"okay okay! sorry.. puppy?"

"they're not a puppy!" your voice erupts from the soft fur of the dog (?) your head pops up startling the express crew, "they're a lion! get it right!" you scolded them.

"but they don't look like a lion."

"and you don't look like a local, so what's it to you!?" you huffed. "you don't know everything about the luofu!"

"that's why we're here. we need to know more about the history of your home." the eldest man, welt yang, spoke gently. "general jingyuan sent us."

you sigh as you cuddle into your pet's fur, still leaving the crew to wondering how you're being contained in it. "okay. what do you want to know?" and you begrudgingly answer their questions. you eventually leave your pet's fur and they keep your feeling less anxious about the strangers who imposed on your reading time.

and that's it for now.

the crew is mildly concerned and curious about you\

they spot you around different parts of the luofu as they continue their adventure.

let's say that they even had more time to get to know you better. how you're kind of a wild card for the luofu cloud knights and how you'd rather do a plain hobby than fight.

but you're perfectly capable of doing so

well, mostly your pet.

boy were they shocked when they saw your already large ish lion change and grow into a true creature of mythology, and fought the marastruck with ease.

"no chewing! marastruck isn't good for your diet!" you had scolded after the fight was over. "put them down ossy!" despite their cowering size, they almost shrink at your words and remind the crew of a sad puppy or cat. but ossy listens to you and spits out the marastruck, letting it disintegrate into the air.

yeah.. the crew was even more curious after that.

trailblazer was the only brave enough to speak what they were all thinking. what is your pet and how did you get them?

and you told them the simple story that you gained them as a family heirloom and bonded a contract with them. you even formed other contracts with other animals but not as strong as ossy's contract.

ossy was sort of a present from your family as you came from a line of mythic beast tamers and now you're here with them

and after that, you visit the express once in a while with ossy by your side to get a break from the streets of luofu

you take up your other hobbies when you're in the express, often knitting or drawing and you make drawings and little bracelets from the crew. while your drawings and knitting works arent as amazing as your knowledge, you don't mind because it just means more to learn and improve on.

you love being with the crew now and you love ossy more than ever of course!

I looked up Clovis, NM, where this 1996 home is located, and it has a good rating. I can't get over the price, $139k, for such a large home- 5bds, 3ba, 3,744 sq ft. Let's take a look.

It certainly has interesting architecture. Look at the dramatic entrance.

Wait. Why are the chairs facing the walls? Maybe they don't want buyers to sit on them.

The dining area has a nice balcony area above.

The kitchen's large, but nothing special. Lots of potential, here, though.

This is a nice big sun room. Beautiful windows and shelving.

One of the baths. The sink cabinet is very nice.

Looks like a bedroom with a covered deck area.

This room has stairs to the lower level that look like the ones in the entrance.

Another bedroom that opens to a covered deck. What happened to the floor, though?

Interesting columns around the house. No fencing, though. 0.32 acres lot. What do you think?

Undisclosed Desires - Part 23

Joe Goldberg x female!reader

Summary: Twenty minutes before he would have met Guinevere Beck, Joe meets you instead. You intruige him, but it will soon become clear that there is something off about you. Words: 867

Masterlist

We already see Joe killing Ron on the show. I figured I don't have to describe it again. Besides, things are getting interesting...

DISCLAIMER: the towns and situations described in this chapter are fictionalized. There is no Nehalenia College in Koewacht. IDEK what is in Koewacht. (Koe means cow, so maybe a lot of cows??)

I have been very busy these last three days, (Y/n).

Nobody will miss Ron, but I miss you and I have been neglecting you. I feel bad. We have only texted a few times, and you say you are busy and jetlagged. But I can tell you’re just giving me an excuse to be distant, because when I text you, you respond right away.

I have been a bad boyfriend, but I think if you knew why I was so busy these last few days, you’d forgive me. I hope you would, but I can’t exactly tell you, so instead I just lounge on your bed and I text you:

ME: Hey lovely.

YOU: hey!

ME: What are you up to?

YOU: well it’s 8 pm

YOU: so nm

YOU: watching this dutch talk show w my grandpa

YOU: hes annoyed im on my phone lol

ME: Go watch the show, (Y/n). I don’t want to piss off your grandfather before I even get there.

YOU: yessir! love u

ME: I love you, too.

I am so tired. I was hoping we could call for a little bit, but if you're at your grandparents’ house, I don't want to push it. Instead I take a shower in your bathroom and use your soap so I smell like you. Then, in my own, clean clothes which I keep at your place, I get on your bed and take out your laptop.

As always, your WhatsApp texts are open. I haven't checked them much since we got together - we are good together and I don't need to know everything you talk about with everyone - but there are new texts from a name I don't recognize.

And you are texting this person right now. I thought you couldn't be on your phone?

The texts are in Dutch, but they started about an hour ago and there aren't that many yet, so I take the time to translate them.

MITCH: hey hey! heard you're in NL? wanna get together?

YOU: sorry man, kinda busy

MITCH: ouch. did you just blow me off?

YOU: uhhhh kinda?

YOU: it's nothing personal

YOU: my boyfriend’s coming in 2 days

I smile.

MITCH: since when do you have a boyfriend lol

YOU: a few months now

MITCH: and i guess it’s serious?

YOU: pretty serious

MITCH: wtf

YOU: ?

MITCH: i kinda thought we had a thing, you know?

YOU: mitch…

YOU: you gotta get over this

MITCH: and what is it you think i have to ‘get over’?

YOU: you know what

That last message, you sent while I was reading the other ones, and I have to translate it separately. Apparently Mitch does know what, because he doesn’t respond anymore. But I don’t know what, and I really wish you would specify.

You send a message to Nadia:

YOU: guess who just texted me…

NADIA: Who?

YOU: mitch

NADIA: Ew. Block him.

Thank you, Nadia!

YOU: i can’t just block him 😭 you know what happens when i block him

NADIA: You want to stay at my place tonight?

YOU: could i? i don’t wanna tell my grandparents about this…

NADIA: Hey, at least Joe will be here soon! Then you won’t be all alone in your big scary AirBNB.

YOU: lol

YOU: i can’t wait tho

YOU: 😁😊

I frown. Normally I’d be happy that you can’t wait for me to get there, but right now I just want to know who this Mitch guy is.

He is not on your Twitter and he is not on Nadia’s Instagram. All I have are his texts to you and looking for his number on Google does absolutely nothing.

But when I look up your high school, along with Mitch’s name and yours, I finally find something interesting: two news articles with your names in them.

I Google your name again. There’s your high school picture. You went to Het Nehalennia College but when I try to translate the rest of the text again, I still can’t make sense of it - it must be full of spelling errors, because some words just will not make sense.

I try to look Mitch up, using all sorts of combinations. Your school and his name, his name and yours... Nothing.

🎯Something Blue: Where it began + HCs🫐

I made this originally on twitter but due to post limitations I wanted to rant here! :D In this, I will be describing where I found Something New, why I ship Killer with Blue but not 100% as big a fan as other ships, and so on and so forth. At the very end I will list my headcanons with them :)

In 2018 on July 25th (my birthday) is the first evidence I have of ever liking this ship. The reason I know of this date is due the the image below made by @/jamesjp-things-blog and how I had a cropped version on roblox (I roleplayed shush) and it was a RP of them LOL

I believe sometime after, I found the swap vs killer animation and believed that was all and shipped them and RPed them with my ex n roblox because yeah cringe! Here is the old Killerberry ship kid I made for archive purposes (shes so ugly) + the where it started wall

Moving on! I don't exactly remember where my ideas for the ship went as in 2018 is when I left the fandom space of undertale and bullied myself out of it since Underswap was my favorite and I love all versions of swap and that was around the time the fandom hated those people

In april of 2024 (hey this year!) I decided that hating something I love with every fiber in my being was dumb so gradually came back. I started off embracing my old love for Nightberry (fan since 2016) and Horrorberry (I do not remember), two other ships i loved in the old days

Thats when I became good friends with Mae (hi) and they started talking about their AU and story and my little worm self talked about Horrorberry, Dustberry, and Nightberry but just ignored Killerberry as I forgot my love for it. IDRM what exactly was said but yeah

THE RAHAF JUICY BITS

Then Mae showed me something. The start of the Killer VS Swap comic. I only knew the animation and NONE of this was in it. (Credit to rahaf) Seeing this changed my whole view on them, but it continues.

The part the hit me the most was when Blue was upset he couldn't save Killer despite the fact he nearly killed the guy which opened me to the world of toxic yaoi /silly. Jokes aside, it showed me how well and under looked these characters are together.

But why them? Well answer is: Every instance of them together while negative is only negative on Killer's behalf. Color had negative moments with Killer even if it got positive could end up being a nightingale syndrome scenario and how I see Blue and Killer strays far from this, NM is NM and Dream while he did feel positivity from Killer, Dreams motives just makes the ship feel icky to me but no hate! Outer is just a crack ship and I can't see it at all LOL (Dust and Horror I only ship for toxic yaoi I'll just out that here)

Blue on the other hand's motive is to help him, to change him to for the better even if he nearly died trying. He isn't degrading Killer, he isn't doing it for a questionably moral motive, he KNOWS if Killer tries he can be good. I believe if he learned what will be talked about below, he'd stop trying to """fix""" him but more so help him understand himself and his stages to be able to have a healthy relationship with himself.

Do I think Killer can be good? Not really, he doesn't concider himself a sans anymore so if he were to become fully himself again, I don't think that would do him good mentally. His soul is at a ever constant war with chara as shown here.

I think Killer is appreciates Blue trying to help and more upset by means and the fact it didn't work. In the comics, Blue tried the hardest but also the most back to back to help Killer which just annoyed him most likely but despite him causing the pain to himself, he hates it. I feel like this is further proven on how Blue is one of the people he mentions when talking to Nightmare and how you can still see Blue smile.

Also, it could be argued that Killer only really escalated things because Blue took him to see the stars, one thing Killer doesn't like nor feel comfortable around them. The one they're looking at doesn't help either.

Heres some more little things Rahaf has done with the two that fuel my love for them and their relationship!

For the name: Just something new + blue's name LOL also a wedding term so its even gayer

Now for the headcanons!

☆ Killer found a new appreciation for the stars because of Blue loving space

𖣠 Killer was forced to apologize for escalating fights (NM had made Killer stop similar in Killer VS the Star Sans' and didn't have him kill Dream)

☆ Killer got blue a new scarf

𖣠 Killer thinks Blue is the strongest Star Sans due to surviving him, having to get rid of Blue's magic to even win

☆ Paps and Chara don't like Killer so they keep it hidden, also to protect Blue from NM

𖣠 Killer keeps Blue's old one because hes weird and its like a trophy

☆ Killer thought being mean would get blue to leave and stop so kept being a jerk

𖣠 Killer didn't trust Blue around his cats bc trauma but when he caught wind Killer had cats absolutely spoiled them with treats and toys

☆ They have a lot of "Why do you care" talks

𖣠 Killer has said "You're my favorite star out of all the ones you've shown me"

☆ Blue 100% got giddy from that

𖣠 Killer is very touchy physically to make sure Blue is real + just a flirt

☆ Blue isn't use to it but makes him smile

𖣠 Blue confessed first on accident

☆ Said something like "I wish you could fully feel so you could love me too" and then was like "Oh stars I'm sorry!"

𖣠 Killer probably just laughed and said something like "I wouldn't mind that being my first feeling if we can get this solved."

☆ Killer made the first move

𖣠 Killer has bought him awful aprons saying stuff like "Spooning leads to forking"

☆ Killer likes testing Blue's alcohol tolerance

𖣠 Due to Killer trying to maintain his soul around Blue, hes actually more dangerous due to repression so if NM finds out about them, makes them not allowed to be alone for Blue's safety

☆ "If I ever get to stage three or four around you, please kill me." "You know I can't do that."

𖣠 Blue gets super happy everytime he sees killer's soul in stage 1 especially when more frequent because that means improvement

☆ Blue plans dates every weekend

𖣠 Oh yah why NM doesn't kill Blue is bc I HC them as friends since they both deal with idiots plus errormare LOL

☆ He also plans relaxation time after hard mission Killer has to do

𖣠 Had a "I'm... not a real person. I thought... haven't we... is this not how it works?" talk (I love SU referencing them)

☆ Since my blue is a mixture of all swap versions, when Blue has a bit of a ""yanberry"" moment Killers just like "Oh thats hot"

𖣠 If Blues universe were to reset Killer might have a Dust moment with Chara

☆ Blue rambles a lot to Killer

𖣠 He doesn't mind since it keeps him knowing Blue is real and distracts him from Chara ghosty

☆ If Killer were to "die", everyone would reassure Blue he'd just reset and come back SU style

𖣠 If he doesn't, Blue would talk to Reaper asking when Killer would be back and alive who'd say "It doesnt work that way, kid" if Killer chose to actually rest (I forgot what comic I saw that gave this idea)

☆ Blue still has PTSD from their fight so hates knives if held by Killer

𖣠 Blue goes to Killer when its storming

☆ Blue teaches Killer how to dance

𖣠 Killer's hallucination of Blue consists of a bloody eye powerless eye, tear eyed, and bloody in general

☆ Killer was Blue's first partner and kiss

𖣠 Same cannot be said for Killer but def is most healthy

☆ No one on really supports their relationship but thats because of Killer

𖣠 Blue will standup for Killer but no one really is scared of him, more so of killer whos behind him

☆ Blue has patched up Killer's jacket / sweater many times

𖣠 Just doomed yaoi by definition sorry

☆ Blue goes to Killer if dealing with Dream and Ink has gotten too much and vise versa with the three idiots (cross being the third) and NM

𖣠 Sit in comfortable silence together, occasionally checking in on one another

☆ Killer took Blue to see the stars despite his distaste since he felt bad for beating his ass after that

𖣠 "If you ever miss me, just look at the stars. Only a universe away" - Killer

☆ If they were to have a kid, Killer would be an amazing dad but think he's terrible

𖣠 I like to think that even after Blue and Killer's fight that even if Blue's magic is okay in his eye, his rib is still missing and unhealed and he's partially blind in that eye causing the magic to be a lighter blue

☆ This started from my Dustberry headcanons that sort of just trickled but I feel like he shows care about things Dust and Killer see, AKA Paps and Chara and often ask if they would like anything specific for dinner and try to converse with them even if he cant see or hear them

𖣠 Killer would probably think its super weird but probably get jealous if he lets Dust get that treatment (I needed to add my badsans poly + swap (and saejun + epic but thats a rant for another day) some where)

☆ I don't think they'd be the perfect relationship don't get me wrong, I feel like Killer would constantly try to break it off in some way for some normalcy but I feel like Blue is grounded enough to know this and understand this and knows if he just ups and walks he'd only be hurting Killer more

𖣠 Now this doesn't mean he is a doormat, he'll scold Killer but thats for after

☆ For angst purposes, I like the thought that Killer got hurt because of Blue trying to get Nightmare to ease the work load and what not and since he's NM's right hand man that didn't really fly by

𖣠 Despite Blue's positivity and how he views himself, because I HC him with HPD or histrionic personality disorder, he has a low view on himself away from others and I feel like Killer would try to help him during all those times as a way to pay Blue back for all the effort he has given to help Killer

☆ Since I HC Blue doesn't remember resets and the younger brother, I like to think that Killer introduced him fully to this talk, Stretch probably tried before but just thought it was nightmares

𖣠 I feel like Blue would try and make Killer sweets only to find out he doesn't really like em due to everything LOL

☆ I also HC Killer to cough DT a lot so Blue keeps a spare little handkerchief on him to wipe Killer's mouth

𖣠 I like to think Blue really looks up to Dream and Ink but they semi push him away as he's a mortal so Killer has those "Who needs em" talks and probably realizes he's semi codependent on them as he is to Nightmare but not in the same life depends on it way

☆ Also when theyre hiding their relationship I like to think that they'd run off during battles like the freaks they are

𖣠 Soley based on a RP with Mae but Blue calling Killer, Kiki and Killer calling Blue, Iris is my ride or die oh my stars

☆ Because Killer doesn't talk too much in the canon events of Something New, I feel as if the more Killer talks to Blue is another indicator to Blue about change and that makes me smile (Ignore how Killer talked a bit in their fight it just proves Killer fought him out of love /silly)

𖣠 I feel as if my Blue had a Blueberror moment, Killer and him would bond a lot due to similar feelings of not being good enough + both kinda chill in an antivoid space and yeah I probably have a ton more I can pull out of my ass but I am tired sooooooooo

Heres their playlist I update religiously:

[our-boyflux-experience]

alright so i just found your blog (legit five seconds ago) and i had a question i hope you can help with

so my gender is a little confusing at times. i've been going by demiboy for multiple months now, with only he/him pronouns since i wasn't a big fan of they/them for me (not specific feeling enough)

but recently, i've been thinking about it, and i got some feedback from a user on tumblr. and now im not sure if my label is specific enough

basically, my gender is smth like 85-90% masculine/boy (not man. for me there's a difference) and 10-15% gendervoid/completely no gender whatsoever. but on a few days (it usually depends on what outfit im wearing, but it can also just be off of how i feel) it's like that flips. randomly i start to feel 90-95% gendervoid/absolutely no gender, and only 5-10% boy. honestly it's a little confusing

but someone said that reminds them of demiboyflux. now im not too sure, but i wanted to get a second opinion, as it's my first time ever considering this, and yet it almost feels like it makes perfect sense.

lol such a long ask. but yeah. maybe you can help?

x

First of all, there's no such thing as "specific enough" when it comes to your personal labels /nm. If you're comfortable using just demiboy, even if the way your gender works doesn't TECHNICALLY adhere to the definition of the label, then that's perfectly fine. Hell, I haven't identified as a woman in years and I still identify as a lesbian to an extent (I often say I'm like if a bear and a butch lesbian had a beautiful genderqueer mspec platonic-lovechild). Labels are just used to define common experiences and if you relate to those experiences enough to want to use the label, then go for it! Only your opinion matters when it comes to your identity :)

HOWEVER, with that being said, if you feel like a different or more specific label would be more comfortable for you, then by all means try it out! It's perfectly okay to play around with things and you don't have to get the perfect label on the first try (or ever, even!), I'm not here to gatekeep the use of boyflux/demiboyflux. Your experience of your gender does sound similar to what people would call demiboyflux, so try out the label and see if it makes you comfortable. I went through a lot of identities before I figured out that boyflux suits me best. Don't worry about what other people think, just focus on what makes you happy :)

I hope this helps. Have a good day/night :D

Do you think it would have worked with Antoinette in non-memory loss circumstances

Short answer is no, I don't.

I've seen people say they were "good" together because they are similar but we do not know enough about Antoinette to know this. They are similar in how they dress and both play piano but that is not enough to create a relationship.

Elijah and Antoinette had met when he was his whole self with memories and he did not pursue her. There did seem to be chemistry between them but Elijah Mikaelson is a very different person than the Elijah who fell in love with Antoinette. And even in this relationship, we see very little of Antoinette as a character on her own. I do think they have some sweet moments, but there were also a lot of moments where Antoinette felt less like a character and more like a plot device.

She and Elijah had been together for seven years but he seemed to know nothing about her. Elijah is learning everything as we are, mostly for the audience to understand her back story, but still, Elijah should have already known all about her family drama.

But here's what we do know about her:

Antoinette says she loves her brother but doesn't lift a finger to help him. Elijah burns himself alive and she rushes out of the room instead of trying to help support him emotionally. She has been lying to him the entire relationship about knowing him and who he was. All of these things, to me, are things Elijah wouldn't like in a person.

Whether it is healthy or not, the most important thing to Elijah is putting his family first. Antoinette doesn't understand this. In season 5, she wants him far away from them. Sure, this may be healthier for him, but he wouldn't stay with someone who wants that. Antoinette may be healthier in detaching from her toxic family, but Elijah wouldn't respect that in her. Instead of trying to help her brother, she has abandoned him.

Antoinette also seems to not like confrontation. She runs instead of facing Greta or Greta's army. She runs instead of helping Elijah emotionally. She wants to run from Klaus. They try to create a parallel of her running from an abusive father, but Elijah only runs to save his siblings. In fact, he stands to confront Mikael when his family needs him too. The Mikaelson family is always about confrontation. Yes, they are always running, but Elijah's relationship wouldn't survive with someone who couldn't handle the family confrontations. He would want to protect her and likely end the relationship because he would see how unhappy she was with his family. Elijah tends to be attracted to very combative women because that is what he knows of love, that's how his family has always been.

A lot of people say that Elijah with no memories is still Elijah, so by that logic, Elijah Mikaelson would still feel the same way about Antoinette that no memory Elijah did. But I vehemently disagree. Elijah Mikaelson would never have done the things no memory Elijah did. Sure he seemed happier and more free, but even Elijah before all of the trauma wouldn't have behaved like him. And I think a big part of how no memory Elijah turned out is due to Antoinette's influence. She was essentially able to shape him into what she wanted him to be since he had no memories or connections with anyone. It always just felt very manipulative to me. Even after a seven-year relationship, nearly as soon as Elijah gets his memories back, he ends it with her. Yes, he is grieving Hayley, but he was not willing to try and fight for Antoinette or even stay alive for her.

More evidence that NM Elijah was not Elijah Mikaelson is that when Hayley goes to France, Elijah clearly approaches Hayley (Andrea) at a bar and spends the night flirting and dancing with her. This is years into his relationship with Antoinette. Elijah would never have done this to any of his past relationships. While I love the haylijah moments, I didn't like that Elijah was essentially emotionally cheating on his girlfriend, something Elijah Mikaelson would never do. Antoinette and Elijah are actually one of my least favorite Elijah ships because I don't like how either of them treated the other.

Antoinette and Elijah felt very forced. Again, I loved seeing happy and free Elijah, but I would much rather see it due to character development and growth, not erasing everything that he is. And everything that Elijah Mikaelson is would not be compatible with Antoinette.

Well, that's good to hear brah. Glad we aint stuck with this totes re-donk-ulous situation, that wouldn't be very radical of them Creators would it? Oh whut da hicketty heck? Can't believe I forgot about that as an option. Ya've really helped a bro out with that lil reminder. I can totes skedaddle over to another verse, grab a lil somethin for my radical broseph then skedaddle on back here. Would need to find a safe place to keep him first. Aint want anyone to try takin advantage of me being all gone off to grab him. Ya got any good recs for that? Or for any safe places I can jump to when I'm grabbing a refill for him? Not that I aint up to fightin resident Inks if I gotta, just a lot easier on ya pal here if it aint necessary.

And yeah, he's already run his whole supply dry. Even tryin his best to chillax on takin 'em, he could only last so long. I dunno who's been lookin after things without him but don't think it really matters. Since this whole place is on da way out. All I know is it aint on me. Dunno who this 'Dream' bro is but I aint never heard that name round before? Closest brah I'm aware of may be Slumber? But he aint no ally of ma Inky bro. He aint no ally of anyone, ya dig? All up actin solo an' stuff. P sure I'm the only one my Ink got, not that I've been 'im helpin with his job. Manages that all fine on his own. Least that's what he tells me...

Never though we woulda actually fused with eachotha. Mean, I know we exchanged some words about it before he got like this. But I can't imagin actually been driven to do it. Guess you bodacious brahs would know more about how our story was all gonna turn out, da whole reason to contact you in da first place.

Ya know, that's also a pretty radical idea. Ink mentioned to me once, right at the start of it all, that the reason they were leavin was because they were getting bored of us. They ran outta things to with our stories and jus' all up and left. Fools if ya ask me. Sure their wicked sharp brains coulda come up plenty of sicknasty thing to do with us if they'd just think em up. Guess i'll just hafta go round causing chaos all up in them timelines to try and lure em back. It's a dang good thing I've been livin my life as an entertainer ever since I found out about em. No better time to put it all inta practise than now. I'll make one hecka partay outta all their hard work. If that aint work, dunno what will. And ya right that if need be we can always jump ship to a new funky fresh verse.

Thanks for the the words of advice, ya've been a big help :) [In this verse there isn't a Dream or Nightmare! There is just Slumber. Who is a fusion of them both; which occurred back when they were children during this verses version of the apple incident. He's a neutral entity that maintains the balance on his own and without the need for fighting over individual AUs as territories. So both the Stars & the Bads/NM's Gang don't really exist; since there's no one to lead either. One of the reasons that the 'creators' got bored and decided to abandon then later discontinue the verse. A lack of the usual major sources of conflict ;3]

* I’m glad our advice helped you, Fresh! Let’s try to help you out some more.

* I don’t know how safe your multiverse is but wouldn’t keeping him in his Doodlesphere or Doodlesphere-equivalent be fine? If not then you could probably hide him in lesser known Universes where nobody goes to, it shouldn’t be too hard to hide him.

* I believe you can also use the Doodlesphere mirror to contact Inks. If you describe your situation then at least one of them should be willing to help! You could probably even get benefactors or take up jobs for vials- don’t spread yourself too thin though!

* For spreading chaos, try not to hurt anyone too badly??? And stay safe.

- Sincerely, Multiverse Hotline

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: Grand Reunion

In Cosmic Discoveries, after SS!Amy got OMT!Tails cured of the Chimera Virus, they were walking through one of the tranquil areas with OMT!Cream following.

OMT!Tails: This place really is something. With LM off my back for now, I have plenty more time to take it all in again.

SS!Amy: Well, our efforts definitely helped in stopping one of those so-called "canon events" from happening. You've already been through a lot as is, and we couldn't risk you getting worse from it.

OMT!Tails: So, how have you found it here so far, Cream?

OMT!Cream: It's been amazing! I never knew how many other iterations of me and our friends were in the multiverse. I already made friends with multiple mes!

OMT!Tails: You'd be more and more surprised every day, of course!

SS!Amy: What's the bond between you and your Cream like, Tails?

OMT!Tails: Well, compared to the intended norm, me and Cream are actually siblings. I took her in after her mom lost her life to OMT, and we had been living with my Knuckles and Amy.

SS!Amy: I'm really happy to see that you guys have a universe that strays away from all the norms, Tails.

OMT!Tails: Hehe! Thanks, Amy!

They continued along the area to where Skye and Melody were.

Melody: Sure kept us waiting, alternate dad.

OMT!Tails: Heh, sorry, Melody.

Skye: The others are just up ahead from here! We'll follow behind.

They headed forward.

OMT!Tails: Hey, guys!

OMT!Mina: Tails!

The two shared a hug together.

OMT!Mina: I'm so sorry about before, Tails. I understand if you-.

OMT!Tails: Hey, don't worry. It's okay.

D-Sides Mighty: Welcome back, bud!

Mini Sonic: Great work, Tails!

Mr. NM passed him a cheeseburger.

Mr. NM: Here, kid! Just as promised!

OMT!Tails: Sweet!

Nitro: We just met the kids you brought over, by the way.

OMT!Tails: Yeah. I met them on my way back.

Antho: So I heard you met my Tails earlier. What got you two on the move?

Melody: Well, we got forced out of our universe and can't get back in. We were stranded until this Tails found us.

Skye: Yeah, that's right...

Blitz!Tails: As it happens, me and mini-me were the first to come across the little guy on our travels, and he stuck with me whilst Mr. Red-Eyes was chasing Tails around different universes.

Melody: And he found me and rescued me from that Eggman lair full of robot doppelgangers!

OMT!Tails: Believe it or not, I ended up coming across the PRIME universe along the way!

The group were surprised and amazed.

Antho: You met the ORIGINAL Sonic?! Ex-Prince Brian: That's awesome!

CR!Sonic: Guess that's one more thing you can tick off your bucket list, kid!

OMT!Tails: Hehe, thanks!

BK!Amy took the opportunity to try and hustle OMT!Tails and OMT!Mina close to each other for a kiss.

BK!Amy: This could be a big opportunity, guys~!

OMT!Mina (embarrassed): Aww, come on, Amy! We don't need this right now!

OMT!Tails: Well, I mean, we could do the moment elsewhere later, if you want.

OMT!Mina: I'll, er, think about it.

BK!Amy: Heh, sorry.

In a hidden corner, Pana watched this interaction from a distance, quietly sniggering with a smile from the fact that his allies were still getting on great.

SS!Amy: So, while we're taking a breather, you mind us having a chat, Tails?

OMT!Tails: Not at all.

The two headed off while OMT!Cream stuck with the Blur Gang and their allies. They came to a stop at another point of the sector as Nine watched with a soft smile.

SS!Amy: So, were you able to make up your mind about the whole Quill Society thing? There's still no pressure, of course. It's up to you.

OMT!Tails: Yeah. Well, I had been thinking about it a lot. I mean, it's a really amazing community space, though there is still my world to help protect and my friends to be around, so I can't imagine it being full-time.

SS!Amy: Heh, it doesn't have to be full-time, Tails. I mean, you saw everyone here from the Blur Gang yesterday, and it was in the aftermath of a school day, too!

OMT!Tails: Heh, you're right. A part-time rotation would be great for me, of course, so long as it's alright with Knuckles, Amy and my main teacher, of course.

SS!Amy: I'm sure they'd be really supportive of you taking that first step forward to stringing out further yourself.

OMT!Tails: Well, I mean, I could never have gotten this far without the support of people like you, and I couldn't be more grateful. If I do get a part-time rotation and it's on Friday to Sunday, I'm definitely gonna aim to work alongside guys like you and Pana more!

SS!Amy: Hehe, sweet!

OMT!Tails: Hey... I just wanted to say... thanks for sticking by my side through all of this, Amy. I know it's been really tough having to move out of the universe you once knew, but your caring nature has never once been broken.

SS!Amy: You're welcome. Anything to help out a buddy!

They smiled to one another.

Nine: How's the conversation coming along?

SS!Amy squeaked in surprise, blushing bright-red in embarrassment.

OMT!Tails: Oh! Hey, Nine! I didn't realise you followed us.

Nine: Heh, yeah. I've got you to thank as well, Tails. You coming into my life changed it for the better in SO many ways. For the first time, I could make amends with those I had hurt, and that whole multiverse conundrum meant I could finally co-exist with you guys. I mean, seeing this whole Quill Society made me see that, no matter what dimension, anyone can string out from being a wingman and be their own boss.

OMT!Tails: I'm glad to have helped, Nine. You've been an amazing friend throughout our journeys together.

Nine: And you've been just as amazing, if not more so!

The three shared a laugh between each other.

Nine: Well, EV said he prepared your dorm room. Why don't we go and take a look?

OMT!Cream: Oh! Wait up!

OMT!Cream arrived, with a familiar Chao with her.

OMT!Tails: Heh! You got your own Chao companion!

OMT!Cream: Yeah! After seeing all my other counterparts, I decided to name him Cheese in their honour!

OMT!Cheese: Chao chao~!

OMT!Tails: Aww! He looks so cute!

Nine: Heh! Well, let's go, you guys!

They headed off. Over with Blitz!Milla and Skye, meanwhile, they were tending to some flowers in the Chao Garden together.

Skye: So, what's gonna happen if our dimension's... you know?

Blitz!Milla: Well, I really don't want to leave either you or Melody orphaned, Skye, so if you'd like, you two can stay at our dimension under our care!

Skye: You'd... actually take us in? Like second parents?

Blitz!Milla: Of course! You both deserve a happy life to grow in.

Skye: Heh, thanks, Miss Milla.

He gently hugged her as she smiled. As he did so, Smol Devy came from behind and hugged Skye too.

Smol Devy: New fwiend!

Skye: Hehe, aww!

Blitz!Milla: Hehe! You and Devy are welcome at my dimension whenever, too!

Smol Devy: Gweat! ^v^

Meanwhile, with Blitz!Tails and EV!Sonic...

EV!Sonic: So, what was LM's state last you saw him chasing after Tails?

Blitz!Tails: He really didn't look stable whatsoever. I mean, he was still the big grouch the Society now knows him as, but... he seemed more insane when I knocked him into Dimension NEX-2023's further bounds. As if he really isn't being him anymore.

MV!Tails: No kidding. What could've happened aside from yesterday and the lost dimension to set off his decline into villainy?

EV!Sonic: This is concerning. Once you get the chance, I recommend investigating his dimension with the Blur Gang to figure out what's amiss.

Blitz!Tails: I'll do my best out there.

EV!Sonic: I'm sure you will, buddy!

MV!Tails: I'll go with 'em. If he's planning something especially nasty, I'm gonna make good on my promise from before.

EV!Sonic: Yeah, good call.

Blitz!Tails: Alright. Let's go!

The two Tails's headed off, whilst EV!Sonic checked the dorm review ratings.

EV!Sonic: Heh, Tails scored his 5 stars. Sweet!

Hihihi i saw your reblog about calcium cat recently and... thank you for that! It was eye opening and confirmed some suspicions i had... and im sorry you dont have to post this ask if you dont want to, i just didnt know where else to go. I don't use tumblr often, very sorry if i am bothering you!

So, i used to be a big fan of calcium cat's, and when i learned from your reblog that she's not someone i want to associate myself with, i remembered that she and topazshadowwolf (someone who wrote some Dadmare and Soriel fics that I liked, i think they're well known in the community but im not sure?) were affiliated with one another, and topazshadowwolf has these two posts on their blog that arent outright queerphobic like calcium cat's posts. i wanted to see what your thoughts were on it as a second opinion because i dont want to judge them too hard, but i also got an icky feeling from these posts that i can't really explain. I dont want to cause trouble for them if they don't deserve it which is why i wanted to ask your opinion on it. And im on anon in case if it really is that bad...

https://www.tumblr.com/topazshadowwolf/738317097192603648/anon-i-am-not-going-to-reply-to-that-ask-i-dont?source=share

https://www.tumblr.com/topazshadowwolf/738292724279672832/i-didnt-want-to-say-this-but-its-been-bugging?source=share

Uhmm yeah thats about it. Sorry, you probably dont get asks like this that much, i really just didnt know what to do and didnt see anyone talking about it and thought i was going crazy, i wanted to ask someone. I am a queer person myself and i just felt like these posts were really off but idk why :(((

Sorry this took a bit to get to Anon, I legitimately had no idea who this person was. Also had to grapple with the fact that I'm apparently a big enough figurehead here to ask about discourse? Willlddd to me. I'm not used to this LOL.

Discourse under the cut

The first thing that strikes me as off is the fact that Cal commented on the ask linked in the first post you provided. Don't like that. Openly associating with someone who has been outed as an immensely bigoted trans/homophobe is.... not a good look.

However, in regards to that ask, I agree with some of what they were saying. School is a time to play at discovery, because you rarely remain who you were as a child. It's not a definitive thing. You can be adamant that you're one way in school, and once you leave it an broaden your horizons, you discover that you're another way. This ranges anything from sexualities, gender expression, to religion and belief systems. People grow and change.

As an aside, I don't agree that NM wouldn't support them if they claimed to be different from how they are as adults and wouldn't support them. No context given, but I assume the boys don't remember being adults. This means their growing experiences will be fundamentally different than they were as former adults because they are going through their childhood/adolescence in a wildly different way than they did underground. So constricting them to such a narrow scope seems... disingenuous at best.

Seems a might bit narrow-minded, but I wouldn't go screaming "transphobia" yet. Don't like the "if you feel like I disrespected you, leave" though. The correct response is to ask what you did that made someone feel that way.

Worthy of a side-eye, but unless someone presents solid proof (as with Cal's very damning twitter likes, yuck), bad vibes shouldn't be enough to try to cancel someone. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. I sincerely hope my general faith here is not misplaced.

Due to language barrier, I speak English and Finnish ONLY! Please don't come for chatting me in Thai language, thank you!

For personal reasons, I will not list all social medias and majority of them are in private. /nm /info

As I use EEST in my area, I am mainly active until 2 AM.

Before you ask for art thing, I tend to be picky and selective from other interests that I don't have in neither primary nor secondary interests. This is why I mainly prefer to draw primary interests such as Inanimate Insanity and Happy Tree Friends (see below), since I think it's easier and faster to do! However, gijinkas from other medias are acceptable, as long it's not problematic imo.

As mentioned earlier, please check art status before you ask something!

Request and Art Trades might take longer due to my mental health or how busy I am, please be a patient. /lh /gen

For BIG THIN ICE, I will not draw Nickloon (II Nickel x II Balloon) as a romantic. But I am still able to draw them for platonic/friendship instead, as long you don't tag them as a ship. You can still interact with me btw.

As I made my art filled with love and passion for hardworking, please respect my personal headcanon. While it's okay to have different headcanons. For art related in general, please don't leave an unwanted criticism without my permissions. Any negative or bigotry comments are not allowed here.

As I am an Autistic, please be mindful for communicating with me

When requesting/art trading, please keep it SFW

I might not respond to comments, asks and dms so much, as I have difficulty communicating with strangers and draining my energy. So please do not get upset if you are ignored, I always read messages but it takes more time respond it. /nm /gen

Please don't treat me as a your personal therapist, I am not professional and it's not my place to do it for your own health /srs

Basic DNI (I will block you if you are bigot or weird in general, but blogs like heavy hater/negative blogs are not welcome due to personal reasons.)

May I humbly request hc’s for the gay traumatized cowboy with daddy issues (texas)?👁️👁️

Oooooo yess, Texas was a fun one to think about because I had to think like a southerner slightly, and I live in Jersey lol (granted Jersey gets pretty southern if you go too far but I don't live there)

Texas-

Used to hunt a lot, however with the Table becoming slightly more important in the 2020s he had to slow it down significantly

Has a massive ranch, horses, cattle, chickens, you name it, Texas probably has it

Would actually kill someone (but specifically Cali) if they took his hat, there is no way he is letting Austin be in control for that long

His wires are slightly crossed, hence Austin or literally any of his cities (though honestly the cities being personified depends on the state, Texas has researched this before and it’s not worth asking why, you won’t get an answer)

Guns lol

Will occasionally just cough up oil, it’s not common but it is annoying

He’s not gay, at all, what so ever, he’s just a very straight cowboy livin his life (guess the lie here, hint: he is for sure livin his life and is a cowboy)

He doesn’t hate Oklahomo, he just wishes the absolute best for him and the absolute best is dying

Loves cooking as much as he does hunting, which is a lot, he’ll do it whenever he wants, for basically no reason, it’s a fun hobby for him

Has dinner every other Sunday with Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries, Cali, Arizona, and NM will also join from time to time

He likes history a lot more than people realize, he has to be good at it to say that it’s all fake duh

Hates snow, never wants it ever again, the one time he got snow he doesn’t remember BECAUSE HE BASICALLY DIED MAINE (he’s only slightly dramatic, he didn’t die but it sure did feel like it)

Made Jersey teach him how to make “proper pizza” since he taught him how to make a brisket

He’s tall, like 6’3 tall, he could technically go taller but 6’3 doesn’t make him feel like he’s stretching his skin

If he’s exhausted then he won’t understand a lick of English, he doesn’t get that tired often but when he does it’s turned into a game to see who can get him to bed first (It’s normally Alabama or Oklahomo- I mean homa, Oklahoma)

Went back to high school in the 2000s, an experience he doesn’t know if he regrets or wants to study under a microscope

Has three dogs, they are his babies along with his horses, he fought long and hard to convince Gov to let him have them at the StateHouse even with the no pets rule that like 3 people didn’t follow at the time

Loves Football, obviously, Sunday Football is spent outside with barbeque and the entire south, even if their team isn’t playing

Doesn’t actually hate Cali, he thinks that he’s an idiot and never knows when to shut up but he can admire how smart he actually is even if Texas would never say it out loud, and Austin, Austin was a big reason

[prxship]

I'm sorry abt the rude stuff paraphiles have been sending you. We paras don't want those weirdos who harass others either. 😭 I"ve only read like two posts of yours really (no energy to do read more than that srry! /gen) but I'm assuming you're pro para as long as they're anti contact and getting therapy?

As a para, I don't disagree and I think ur valid for that.

Paras probs have fears about therapists cause we're scared we'll get harassed or mistreated for our attractions, which is why so many are anti therapy /info

Also, ppl can be really sensitive to being told they need therapy cause usually people say that to imply someone is crazy (from my and many friends experiences) /Nm /info

So basically ur not invalid at all, but people with paras can be very sensitive due to the mistreatment of us non contact ones

Btw, when we paras make flags and stuff, it's just our attempts at reclaiming something frequently used to hurt us ^_^ /info /nm

YES! a lot of people seem to think we are anti para but we’re not. i didn’t think it was that hot of a take to say those who have the urge to take advantage of parties that can’t consent should get therapy but. here we are.

I can definitely understand the fear of therapy, especially with how stigmatized a lot of disorders are, speaking as a DID system. However, i don’t think that stigmatization and fighting it means radical acceptance. recovery SHOULD be encouraged. you don’t have to just accept everyone no matter what to build a community yall.

i’ve never been a fan of disorder pride flags or para pride flags tbh, but esp not para pride flags for the “big three”. i don’t think ppl with paras should be miserable and hide away but jfc it canNOT be healthy for people to make pride flags for having the urge to diddle kids.

[roetrolls]

i think you should make a rule in your server to comment on other peoples art before posting your own, some people are feeling left out and overlooked and other servers have implemented similar rules to prevent that! /nm

I have a couple things to say about this and they're probably not the response you wanted, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

First and foremost, I'm really not comfortable with people using my inbox over here to make server suggestions on anon. I understand the inclination to do it, but it forces me to have the conversation publicly, which I don't find particularly fair or appropriate.

Having to speak to you on anon puts me in an uncomfortable position where we are now conversing in front of an audience, many of whom have not even joined the server themselves. It also just... hurts my feelings a little, I won't lie. I'm sure it's not your intention, but it leaves me feeling like people don't trust my ability to have a normal conversation with them. I know it's likely not about me, but the impact is still there.

Second, regarding the actual suggestion itself: This server is a glorified group chat. Rules are lax because I trust people to be adults and treat each other with common courtesy. I am not going to implement rules to enforce social etiquette. I trust that the people around me can advocate for themselves if they have a problem with something.

I've been a mod in a big community before and it's exhausting. When you are the person responsible for enforcing rules, it becomes more difficult to engage with people in a normal capacity. I do not want to create a power dynamic in the space where I speak to my friends, and I do not want to have to come up with well-defined rules and consequences for breaking them; because you DO need to come up with consequences if you want something to be a rule.

All of this would turn this chill place for chatting into a responsibility, and it would make me miserable.

I agree, it can be rude to post over someone without acknowledging what they've shared. But I also know some people don't really mind. If it bothers you, you can ask that people be careful not to do it to you. I'll back you up on that and try to make sure people remember. However, I have a vested interest in this server not being as structured as other ones, because disliking that sort of structure is why I made my own to begin with.

[dearunreliablenarrator]

✨Good day and happy STS!✨

What is the Coolest thing you have ever come up with lore-wise? Could be anything—a sick motif, a compelling character design, unique worldbuilding, anything!

Feel free to Ramble !!!

and have an awesome day ✨✨✨

✨howdy!

umh, there's honestly so much i can touch on because i've realized i don't really share much on my WIPs outside of Mystic Mondays or sporadic snippet drops.

but i think i'll start with the most important thing that will carry over through the unreliable universe.

so. generational ties/crossroads/parallel timelines/red string theory, i believe are the backbone to the lore inside what we'll call Project NM (PM for short). which wasn't an intentional thing until I started to plot for the duo/companion book for WTRB (where the river bends-a speculative comp. romance (something like that)), because I needed way to bring all four of the characters together in their events naturally, since they'd be referenced and also (technically) be happening at the same.

this was a pretty significant plot hole eraser and pace fixer, because it gave me a sense of timing for events and as someone who isn't planner when it comes to writing, it definitely made me realize that this projects couldn't been done on the fly. (mind you writing now compared to writing in middle school is a complete different world, didn't really worry much about plot holes)

now! i can add as many side stories as i want because i've given myself a backbone to Project NM, and not have to worry about creating world building details from scratch every time i have a new idea. (this also cut down on some overactive world building things, that would have been too complicated to be real or explain)

so, it works lika this. The timeline generationally goes all the way back to GG (a sort of prequel to the unreliableverse) which i could say is set in the feudal/middle age/era because of the Age of Enlightenment is interesting and I've watched Ella Enchanted one too many times to not have my own take on it. (and knights are cool...)

And with GG (which will also have a companion, maybe) the two female leads respectively are the reasons MOST if not ALL of the female leads throughout the series are connected.

So, with that being said. No matter what timeline is currently being lived through, their descendants (or they themselves) will meet and have to face whatever challenges (curse as people are saying nowadays) together, that were never dealt with previously.

But what this doesn't mean is that they're all happening at different times or generations. For clarity, we'll stick with the Big Three. WTRB (where the river bends), CUTS (cherries under the sun) and ALT (altheia).

canonically, CUTS and WTRB are happening that same time but the entry point to their stories are staggered. CUTS and all it's horror begins in the late summer/early fall (starting from the prologue) while WTRB opens in late winter/early spring and at some point meet at a crossroad. whether that's characters referencing one another or events. There will things that shift the actions of each group, respectively as their stories go on.

as for ALT, this is maybe 500 or so years later, i haven't really decided yet. but its far enough out for some consequences to be eliminated, and close enough to still see and feel some of the repercussions of not just the actions of our characters but also the world they live in or grow around. so, 5 generations later at the least, at the max 10.

so,tiny diagram here!

i'm linking a youtube playlist, that i hope will make this make a little more sense if i've gotten you lost. it'd probably be a piece of media i'll reference alot along with Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022).

while there are some more things i want to expand on here, i'll plug mystic monday one more time. there is no tag list, but it does have a dedicated tag for your searching ease. #unreliablelore or just search mystic monday!

i find the lore here- while being a bit more detail oriented and researched base, it isn't really significant to the storyline. think of it as a living library, to be referenced throughout the story. and probably the answers to easter eggs as they come.

i think thats all i can ramble on about at thee moment, if there's anything i can clarify or expand on just let me know.

k-bai✨

[bonesandthebees]

Yo,

So I was feeling bored and sentimental, so I went back and read through literally all of Clinic yesterday, and I think I noticed a teensy mistake.

In the main fic, when Tommy's under the dream interrogation thingie from 404, in the third dream (I think), Techno burns his hand. Tommy heals it, Techno starts pointing out his worst fears, etc. Anyways, we move on.

But in the Waking Nightmares side fic, when Tommy is explaining his dreams to Wilbur, he says that Techno cut his hand. And he also mentions that the dreams are ingrained in his mind almost flawlessly, so I doubt that's just good ol' Tommy missing a detail.

Idk it's just a silly little thing I noticed because that's the way I am, and just felt like pointing it out.

But seriously, tho, every time I go back and re-read Clinic, I still feel the suspense, even tho I know what's going to happen. Idk what else to call that, other than damn good writing. (Big ol' cheesy thumbs up to you :)



okay first off thank you for the kind words about my writing, I'm glad you enjoyed clinic so much :)

but I'm gonna go on a tangent for a second about my thoughts on you pointing this out to me. this is /nm, I know you didn't mean any harm, but I genuinely do not understand why people feel a need to point out tiny errors in fanfics like this. now in a situation where the mistake—whether it be an inconsistency or a typo or something like that—is bad enough to make the reader confused or possibly misinterpret the scene, then yeah, pointing it out to the author makes sense.

but you said it outright in your ask: you could tell that was just a mistake on my end. me accidentally referring to techno's injury as a cut as opposed to a burn was very clearly just a slight continuity error on my end. you knew what I meant. it didn't damage your ability to enjoy or understand either of the fics. and yet you took the time to write this whole message out to tell me about it. and I just don't understand the point. maybe you thought I'd want to know, but also I have friends who I can ask to read my works for me for errors like this. again, in a situation where the error is enough to mess up a readers understanding of what's going on, yeah, of course let me know. but in a situation where it's easy to understand that it's just a mistake, I really don't get why people feel the need to point it out to me?

this isn't specifically about you. I still get comments on one specific chapter of clinic pointing out a minor typo in the chapter. I finished that fic a year and a half ago. and people still. point. it. out. at this point I refuse to fix it out of spite. so that's also where a lot of this rambling is coming from.

I wanna emphasize, I'm not mad. I know you didn't mean any harm. but frankly, I write fanfic for my own enjoyment. I don't get paid for this. I don't have a professional editor or paid proofreader to go through everything I write to make sure it's publishing standard. it's just me, and sometimes my friends who are kind enough to read over my stuff for me before I post it. I don't care if I make a tiny error here and there, as long as the original intent is clear.

I'm sure a lot of other fic authors feel the same way I do about this. it's not something I'm fuming mad about or anything. it just bugs me because I don't understand the point. when I see an error like that in a fic, I just move on and keep reading.

anyway, didn't mean for this to get so long. you get my point. I'm not fixing that. you all know what I meant.

I heard you were continuing MAA on ao3 and was shocked! It's been so long that I honestly need a refresher. I wanna re read it, but there's sm going on in life and not exactly mentally ok and so I'm lowkey scared to re read 😭

Also where do you get your inspection? And why do you put the lmk crew through sm 🍇 and SA 😭 /genq/nm/nf

But yeah

I LOOOOOOVE your work

It was a surprise to hear the series is STILL going after like 2 years /pos

Yep! MAA is going strong again, though it may be on another hiatus soon due to the fact that my spouse and I are going to be moving here very soon! Honestly, I would suggest reading it again if/when your mental health is better because it is heavy but some edits have been made on previous parts and some other parts - specifically Kids Aren't Alright - has been deleted to help the canon of MAA flow better. Some parts of that will come back but for the most part we're going in with a clean slate.

As for the inspiration behind MAA and the stuff that's all complicated but to sum it up a lot of it was inspired by personal experiences. I'm not entirely comfortable going more into detail than that on the inspiration for those certain situations but other inspirations also included; animes, books, cartoons, my friends, and just ideas that I thought would help the story flow better! Which is a lot more fun than the other stuff.

Now, onto the big and heavier aspect of your question the SA and other dark topics. As my spouse put it I am a "Gray Writer". I do not shy away form the dark topics but I also don't make it as simple as "good" and "evil" either. Good people can do bad things and evil characters can do good things.

Prime examples of this in MAA is Guanyin who did a bad thing not because she was a bad guy but because she felt she didn't have another choice. Then there's Tu who was - in the majority of the story - was a bad guy who ended up surrendering which was a good thing because he realized the error of his ways.

Other examples are Changpu, Ironhide, and Birdbrain.

This is similar with the SA situation in MAA. Situations like the ones that the characters find themselves in are ones that happen can happen to anybody. And as one very pissed off commenter pointed out once "Nezha is one of the strongest Gods, this would never happen to him" well that was one of the exact points I was trying to make with it. Yes, Nezha is one of the most powerful Gods but he's still a person and being strong doesn't mean that they can't be hurt.

Macaque has been assaulted multiple times since he was a teenager to the point where he almost expects it now whenever he faces a villain and often doesn't see it as an issue - which happens with people in those situations. Those things still bother him, of course, but he thinks it's more of an issue he brought on himself rather than a horrible thing that happened to him.

MK had never been exposed to something like that before and had no idea what to expect and was thrown for a loop. He didn't know what to do or how to process it but was saved so that makes him assume that it "wasn't as traumatic" for him or that his trauma isn't as valid. Which it is. It is completely valid and he went through hell. His assault is just as valid as Macaque's and Nezha's even if it didn't go as far as theirs did.

Then there's Nezha, who as I previous said is very strong. It was that strength that made him think he was protected from that kind of thing and that same reason that kept him from returning to the Celestial Realm for so long. Because, just like that commenter, he assumed most of the Celestial Realm would immediately assume that it was 'farfetched' or 'ridiculous' because of how strong he was.

These are three very real scenarios that people all around the world face and topics that many people ignore and avoid talking about. Trauma's are messy, uncomfortable, and complicated. They're not something that most people want to touch which is exactly why I do cover them.

I refuse to shy away from those dark topics because in the same way I write to process I know there are people out there who read those dark topics to process their own emotions.

I will continue to write as long and far as I can on this series and any other series and I'm excited to see people are excited for the return again! I have a lot planned and I also have a goal (a couple of them) but the one I'm currently talking about is to reach 1 Million words on MAA and if/when I do I'm going to treat myself with a new tattoo. I'm thinking an A03 tattoo but I might also commission somebody who's read the series to design me a tattoo inspired by MAA but we'll have to see on my money situation at that point :3 /gen /pos

Anyways, thanks so much for the comment, it made my day to read it! And thank you for using tone tags! You're amazing! /gen

I hope things get better for you <3
