remind me of the hummingbirds.
— FANFIC PREVIEW — lucy gray baird x fem!reader
˚ ༘♡ ·˚ ₊˚ˑ༄ؘ
The last memory you had of Lucy Gray was her dark brown hair sprawled out amongst the grass beneath the two of you. Laid on her side, cheek pressing against her hands, and her doe eyes studying how the evening sun cascaded onto your face.
This is how you wanted to remember her.
You watched her lips curl into a small smile as she carefully ran a finger down the side of your face, memorizing your contours and bone structure. And her voice was as sweet as honey as she recalled a memory from her past. It wasn’t a significant memory – you heard her tell the tale before – but how she spoke of it didn’t fail to make your chest tighten.
“When I was a babe, my momma used to always point out where the hummingbirds flew,” Lucy Gray recounted, taking a stray piece of your hair and twirling it within her delicate yet calloused fingers. The hands of a guitarist. An artist. “The mornin’ after my daddy died, my momma pointed to this little ol’ thing and told me that meant my daddy finally found his way into heaven. And when sunset hit, and the clouds opened up to let their golden rays shine, then that meant my daddy received his wings and became an angel,”
You weren’t sure why Lucy Gray was telling you this memory as you two laid in the meadow. Your face must have worn your confusion as she knitted her eyebrows together, continuing to trace patterns on your cheek with her fingernail.
“Why do you look like that, sugar?” Lucy Gray asked.
You gently took her hand and intertwined your fingers together, resting them on the grass.
“Look like what?” you replied. “‘m just wonderin’ why you’re repeating this story to me. Not that I mind, of course,”
Lucy Gray blew out a puff of air as a chuckle. “Why does it matter if I’m repeatin�� stories, darlin’?”
“It doesn’t matter. I mean, well, it does, but it doesn’t–”
“You’re cute,” Lucy Gray interrupted you, propping her head up onto her elbow. Her dark brown hair fell down in waves around her forearm as she stared down at you, and you felt the tightening in your chest intensify ever so slightly.
“Don’t call me cute unless you’re gonna kiss me, Lucy Gray,” you teased. A part of you was joking when you said that. The other part, however…
Lucy Gray clicked her tongue. “I don’t give my kisses out to just anybody,”
You dramatically placed your hand onto your heart, feigning hurt. You rolled onto your back and closed your eyes to block out the sun, gasping, mouth dropping in fake shock. “So that’s all I am to you, Lucy Gray?” you exclaimed, earning a small giggle from the girl beside you. “Just anybody? Oh my lord, I thought I was your best friend,”
The brightness of the sun suddenly dimmed a significant amount through your closed lids. When you opened your eyes, you saw the smiling face of Lucy Gray hovering above you. The ends of her hair tickled your cheeks, and under the evening sun, the heat seemed to have risen just a bit more.
And against your will, you were speechless. Especially since Lucy Gray’s lips were now on yours, injecting a new warmth throughout your previously tight chest.
You closed your eyes once more, and the only noises in your ears were the singing birds and Lucy Gray’s voice.
“You’re so much more than that to me, Y/N,”

i am in a pretty major slump but also fixated on fallout rn im trying to get a good ttw mod list set up and being very like deliberate about it lol also the health stuff is stressful and that plus work plus money plus upcoming travel plus all the other shit stressing me out plus short overcast days and im feeling depressed and so out of it
i slowed down the queue to only post 12 times a day and idk when i'll take more vp or continue the fic the vp especially because i feel like so creatively blocked and empty and sad and im so tired of feeling this way because of the stupid fucking cryptids server bullshit and losing people i thought were actually good and on my side and wouldnt believe whatever bullshit was being spread but whatever
im just so tired of this fucking drama like i get it i really do it is really upsetting and morale killing and i just hate how morally corrupt and evil and weak willed and lack any independent thinking ability so many people in this fandom are and especially big name fans who can control the social circles and how much power they have! its insane! and its insane that more people arent outraged and dont see it and dont stand up against it like its fucking insane its so insane to me
i dont understand how people can be so cruel and weird and mean and no one says anything about it or does anything about it even though they also admit its weird and cruel and mean
the way to stop those people is to freeze them out. to stop supporting them, stop following them, stop engaging with their posts, stop taking preview pics for them, stop using their preview pics, and just speak out against the bullying and bullshit you see them perpetuating! like why are people fine with that? why are so many people just fine with how horrible so many people are in the fandom? and its no secret who they are either.
its no secret who the awful bullies in fandom are and yet no one actually does anything about it or speaks up about it like no one organizes anything for the good of the community and its just unfathomable to me. to see injustice and not act on it to see people being awful to your friends and not doing anything or saying anything
what is wrong with people that just sit idly by or continue to orbit around horrible people despite knowing what they've done, not even to your friends just what they've done to others in general
moral bankruptcy for no tangible, real world gains of consequence or note. its fandom. you have nothing to lose or gain except your moral character and a lot of people sure choose to sacrifice their moral character for attention
i just feel numb and deeply deeply fucking depressed today and just dont have the energy for my usual cocky "well i can take it im different i dont care" because no it does eat at you after a time
we all joke about how awful the fandom is but no one is actually making an effort to do anything about it
i think one thing i've noticed that baffles me is how much american individualism and bootstraps culture infects this fandom despite it being so wide reaching across the world. the elitism and lack of accessibility and "fuck you i got mine"
all of that on top of the typical redditor personalities, 4chan pretentiousness, weaponization of social justice concepts, and crab in a bucket-ing
i could write an entire masters thesis dissecting this fandom and what a prime example of how the nature of the internet, the speed of it, the nature of social media, and other computer mediated communication factors can turn people into their worst and best selves. can make people live out fantasies not of identity but of power.
thats what it is. the fandom isnt for fun and its not about exploring identity its about exploring power and influence and how much you can push the envelope, how much you can push people.
weenie hut juniors that would scurry away from me if i so much as looked in their direction irl have to find meaning, fulfillment, and agency by being bullies, by feeling powerful and influential because they can garner love and adoration they dont get in their home life.
its easy to be an asshole online because it feels safe because the screen doesnt force you to confront with the reality. you cant see the other person, you dont often hear their voice, there is no connection to them being a real person. so its easy to explore your most authoritarian and morally bereft impulses and personality traits.
its harder, but more fulfilling to not succumb to that.
the internet is a great tool to explore identity. sherry turkel identified it as such in her early works where she discusses how people used multi-user dungeons to explore their gender and sexuality via roleplaying. you can research and find new subcultures, connect with people so different from you all across the world, you can gain perspective and worldliness by opening up to listening to new experiences, to trying new things, connecting with others.
the existence of the internet is neutral. it is a tool like anything else. its how someone uses it that makes it good or evil.
and how a lot of fucking people in this fandom use the internet makes me think we should breed sharks with strong enough teeth to chew through the undersea cables

profile #1 // genshin impact.#ADEPTUS-XIAO
“ @aphrodicts-imagination the actual writing blog “
WARNINGS - angst, work in progress, not proofread,
XIAO was never the one for sympathy. He doesnt want others to feel pity on him just because of his past, ‘its not that big of a deal’ is what you’d usually hear him say. Nor does he need validation or praise from someone, let alone a mortal. He doesnt need breaks, he will constantly go past his limit if he had to. Now, when he’s drowning from the burden of his karmic debt, in need of someone to tell him all the things he’s wanting to hear for years, centuries even. He needs comfort, he needs someone to tell him that everything is fine, and that hes doing an amazing job. But he cant reach out to others. He needs to handle this alone, even when its too hard for him to carry himself. Hes the only remaining yaksha, its what he’s supposed to do. Keep it together xiao, you dont want the mortals looking down on you right? He was a yaksha, but it didnt mean he didnt have emotions. Im scared, im scared of what will happen if I finally reach my breaking point. Will I follow the fate of the others? Will I be a part of the lost souls in this world?
— Even if its painful, I dont care. I will do what I have to as a yaksha, it is my duty after all.
hi yes this is a preview for my upcoming xiao fic :)) hopefully ill write it with a happy ending or else i will cry reading my own work (emotional moment) idk when this will be posted. maybe after my event?? idk but take this before i start finishing it. im not the type to write in the characters pov so this will b really fun!

asks :))
a bunch of fic asks below the cut <3
Hi Rhi! I just read the usual suspects and ITS AMAZING. I was legit so immersed 😭 it’s so good, I couldn’t put it down. It was intense. I could feel Daichi’s stress and with every bits and pieces of info that was being revealed, AHHH had me shooketh. I adore your writing so much 😭💕 ahhh hats off to you!! And me being a Makki lover, I legit gasped when I read the past part!!
-nette 💕@mulberrysilk
ahhh thank you so much, bby!!! tbh i couldn’t resist throwing makki in there, once i had the idea for how i wanted to end it there was no going back and i love deceptively soft makki
THAT RECENT FIC WAS SO GOOD. I didn’t realize it was refreshing to read a yandere story but from a different point of view. It was so good, the suspense, the crippling fear. May I ask, is this connected to one of ur fics? And would there be a part 2 to see what would happened next? Thank u so much for blessing us with your talent!
thank you! but no, this one is entirely separate from any of my other fics, as for a part two ??? who knows :))
that fic was sooo good. the writing kept me on a edge fr. daichis desperation to solve the case was portrayed so well. AND I DIDNT EXPECT MAKKI TO POP IN AT ALL
well you see the trouble is i am a complete whore for seijoh and makki in particular so?? i had no choice haha
I’m in shock. How does your writing just keep getting better and better and better holy shit
thank you, bby!!! <33
Rhiiiii!!!! Your writing is always so amazing, the newest Oikawa and Iwa fic was so good!!! And the plot twist of goddamn Makki holding you captive until the boys walk out without Daichi finding a lead was so smart!! Just a quick question about your commissions, are you willing to do something with Kawababy and Stockholm syndrome? It’s okay if you don’t, much love 🥺💞
hiya bby! so first of all thank you!! I’m really glad you liked it! as far as commissions go they’re closed atm but i wouldn’t be against writing something like that when/if they open up again :))
lawyer oikawa?? babe, you SPOIL us 😭
ain’t it hot tho? imagine him in a courtroom just wiping the floor with the opposition, it’s sexy
I love these 2 lines - “Have you found my girlfriend yet, Detective?" and “Of course I knew, but you misunderstand, Sergeant. She was never going to leave me.”
Just worded so well. hints that poor mc hasn't gone anywhere!
i was low key proud of those lines, subtle, but they were there from the start hehe
Your latest fic omg you’ve done it again 🥵🙏 I love the mystery AU, you really had the reader guessing and constantly thinking about what happened! I have to ask though...was this all just Makki acting out on his own and using the situation to his advantage or did Iwaizumi and Oikawa (maybe just oikawa LOL)get Makki to do this?
haha, as much as i love the idea of makki being a rogue agent, he really was just helping out two of his pals :)) such a good friend :))
Gaddamn. The preview you posted really made me think that Daichi is the bad guy.
ok ngl i had a few people send asks and stuff believing that iwa was innocent/being wrongfully accused and it was absolutely hilarious. like no, this time he’s an absolute piece of shit and for once, daichi wasn’t a bastard cop
The usual suspects was so good! It read so much like a crime novel! For some reason I was suspecting daichi the whole time. I was convinced reader came to him in fear and he just kidnapped her for himself and was now trying to frame Iwa and Oiks.
love this theory, bastard cop daichi would’ve been a fun twist, but he was actually trying :(( i also love how none of you trust anybody in my fics anymore, it’s amazing
Omg. unusual suspects was just 👌👌👌imma just pray that daichi found something to lock those two up cuz god I'm scared - @yandere-writes
i mean :)) if that’s what makes you happy :)) skhbrndjshfghjdks but thank you, bby!
oh. oh, this is one of the fics where i feel sorry for the reader. trapped between an obsessive, controlling ex and her creepy boss at work- she never had a chance, did she? and i cant help thinking that she fell into the the same mindset as daichi- that iwazumi just cant handle his ego being bruised, that oikawa just wants her for sex. she has no idea how obsessed they are with her, and thats her downfall. and theres daichi (who i loved in this fic), but i dont think he can find anything
and makki! i did not see makki coming. how did he get roped into this? is the reader being held at his house, at least temporarily? does he, at least, feel any guilt? sorry if im being annoying, but i loved this fic so much and i have so many questions.
it would’ve been hard enough to escape just one of them; the two together and poor reader never had a chance :(( as far as makki goes he’s an absolute piece of shit too. he genuinely likes the reader - out of all of iwa’s friends he was probably the one she got along best with, but makki’s morally grey at the very best, and he’d do anything for his friends. does he feel guilty? not really, after all she’s better off with the two of them anyway.
rhiii can i ask youu? do you ever write or maybe want to write reverse yandere fic?👀
hiya bby, thanks for the ask but reverse yandere fics just really aren’t my jam :(( sorry!!

what the fuck
depending on the type of fic it can change a bit for me, like if its multichap, an au, or just vibes
so ill get an idea, maybe 30% of the time ill write it down? usually starts with a Very Specific Scene or exchanges of dialogue, and then i worldbuild from there. what circumstances need to happen in order to orchestrate this Very Specific Detail, what characters do i want to write, what roles do i need to fill and who can fill them. this all happens mentally until i get to the point where i cant retain it all/need to physically map it out. if i reach that point i switch to my notebook and just go with the flow, maybe write a list or two, or a cursed relationships map
when it comes to the actual writing i just open a new google doc, indent the text, and start.
to write i picture the scene im writing in my head, the full layout of the setting and where the characters are, then i press play and watch it happen, tweaking where necessary, and then i translate that all into words. sometimes the characters get away from me and deviate from the script but thats all good i can work with that.
about every. two or three sentences i’ll switch my tab and like browse tumblr for 15 minutes/watch a small section of a youtube video/reply to one of my rps/message someone on discord, then ill go back, write a few more sentences, and repeat. literally every like 50 words i do this. yes i will stop in the middle of a sentence and not think twice. yes sometimes i do forget where that sentence was supposed to go
if im struggling to think of a word or something is off, ill do my best then comment something like ‘ew’ or ‘this is wrong’ so i can have the visual marker of where i specifically need to go back and look at again later
if i havent worked on the fic in that sitting ill go back and read maybe the last thousand words/from the last break to where im up to to refresh my memory. this is also when i edit if i do, just making minor tweaks here and there when i notice a typo or an oddly flowing sentence. if i dont read over a passage it dont get edited lmao
if im having a particularly hard time focusing ill do writing sprints, 20 minutes with like a 30 minute break between them all, i generally write 550-600 words in one 20 minute sprint. its a good way to force my brain to cooperate and ill either do another couple sprints after that or just write with no timer
once im done ill whack it into ao3, pull up my latest posted fic to see how im formatting summaries/notes at the moment, copy paste the text into the rich text editor, fix the indents if ao3 decides to be weird, preview the fic, go back to the editing, fix the weird space that ao3 adds after italics because it bugs me, then either save as a draft or hit publish depending on if im running on any sort of schedule or not
the best part about comparing notes with fic writing friends for how you go about doing the fic writing? definitely realizing that you are horrified to your very core over how they go about doing it.
really solidifies the fact that everyone is different and that it doesn't matter how you do the thing as long as that process works for you
#writing#im aware my process is odd with the whole rapid switching of tabs thing#i just have adhd#concentration is either me sprinting for ten hours straight or i write half a sentence and stop#yes i have sprinted for ten hours straight#no i do not regret it#also fun fact this is one of my tab switching things#im in the middle of the latest chapter of my multichap#current line is literally just a single quotation mark#original thoughts in their natural habitat

hiya!
So I know I dont post my own content often. And most of my writing on here is pretty outdatded but! I wanted to do a thing. so now:
Im taking oneshot/drabble requests!
I know I havent posted my writing in a while (The last time I did was probably the fight scene between my OCs, Adan and Aviana, and before that it was 'Best of husbands and beat of men' I think was the name of a Sanders Sides fic.) and I dont have much to show, but!
Please contact me for references on my writing! My socials are:
Google Hangouts/Youtube. Just Liza or [email protected]
Instagram. @septicbre is where I tend to post art and memes, but feel free to DM me!
Right here on tumblr! @echos-through-the-hall !
Discord. @im the cyberlife sent by connor#2406 . Im usually always online!
Wattpad. I'm not fast to respond there, but it's @septicbre . My only story that I believe is on there are Eddsworld Imagines and they're quite outdated, but feel free to read and drop a comment.
Those are all my socials! Feel free to hit me up and ask for examples of my work or even ask for a preview on my latest wip!
For now I am only doing Undertale oneshots/drabbles!
I know it seems like it's weird, but it's currently what i'm comftorable writing. Here's a list of AUs I'll write:
Undertale, ofc.
Underfell.
Outertale, though I may be a bit rusty.
Mafiatale/Mobtale, but those might take a bit more time to write.
Swapfell, again, a bit rusty.
Underswap.
This is all for now, but I may add more later!
I will take NSFW requests!
Bare in mind, I haven't written NSFW in a /long/ time and I'm not the best at it. These may take me a bit longer.
I will do x readers!
But only x readers that everyone can enjoy. I will not do direct inserts (such as things like 'sans x Jessica' or something.) I don't want to leave people out and I'm more comftorable with a normal x reader.
That's all for now! DM me on any social for more questions!
#writing request#writing requests#oneshots#oneshot requests#drabbles#drabble requests#undertale#undertale oneshots#undertail oneshots#undertail#underfell#outertale#swapfell#underswap#mafiatale#mobtale#x reader#undertale x reader

@therewas-a-girl
replied to your post
“preview of my next fic (Dinah/Diggle; T for now but will be higher)”
I like how well u capture dinahs dry sense of humor btw
aww thank you. she has a few of those moments in this fic. :)
@therewas-a-girl
replied to your post
“y'all why are you sleeping on my fic I want people to actually read it...”
I was about to write this in the fic but i realized it wouldnt be relevant there. I thibk one issue might be the cheating element. I mean it is for me. I dont willingly go out to look for fics about people cheating. Idk i never have. But then again maybe this is just me xause i know plentybof ppl who ship things like that - like canarrow even before sara came back and oliver and laurel were over. So idk
I mean - yeah. I get that. totally. and I’m not saying I’m condoning cheating or saying that this is in any way an ideal or healthy relationship. because like idk if you read my other spartancanary fic but I actually had dinah have the line “you’re fucking your problems away” and like, it’s dysfunctional and wrong but that’s... kinda what makes it a rich story, for me? idk if that makes sense. I just think it’s an interesting relationship, you know? plus, call me annoying but like - I like writing non-white ships. as in ships that have all parties be people of colour. (in fact I might include a white people joke just because.) there aren’t enough of them out there esp in dctv where most of the big superheroes are white.
and I’m glad you brought up canarrow. I’m sure I’ve come across a fic about sara and oliver’s first time together in the back of a car or at some kind of festival or something, and like, oliver was very clearly cheating on laurel and not just with anyone - with his girlfriend’s sister. but in the comments no one brought that up, that I can remember, anyway, and it was actually quite widely read if I remember correctly. but I’m searching for it and I have no clue who wrote it lmao so it’s not hugely substantial evidence that I’m right :P
I do get that maybe ollie was the kind of douche to do that to his girlfriend whereas diggle wouldn’t do that to the mother of his child, and I know it’s different in that sense. but I also think - john is in a realllllllly bad place rn with his ptsd (which he does have even if the show will never vocalise it) and the injury he sustained while on lian yu. and I feel like when you’re in a bad place you do things you regret. or things you wouldn’t normally do. I think that’s what’s happening to john here. and dinah is a good person too and she hates the idea of being the other woman but in the last month or so she’s found herself feeling really lonely. and it’s like that line from a streetcar named desire, my favourite play ever by tennessee williams - “you need somebody, and I need somebody, too. could it be - you and me?”
@therewas-a-girl
replied to your post
“preview of my next fic (Dinah/Diggle; T for now but will be higher)”
Your characterisation is on point as ever and i have a very special love in my heart for quiet moments between teammates - regartkess of if theyre lovers or friends. Im a tually very here for a fic exploring dinahs feelings and where her head is. What shes doing with her life. How THIS life has impacted her as a person. Id read that with love bc i love her character
yeah I mean the first bit minus a few moments could be construed as just a really intense friendship (which is what I’m feeling like the writers will go for with them because wendy mericle and juliana harkavy have both said that it’s not going to be romantic) and I am totally here for the moments of peace between the team. but yeah I think there are a lot of gaps to be filled in with dinah’s character and a lot to her story we don’t really know. plus those five months where she gets promoted and seems more confident as canary is also development done offscreen. glad you like my characterisation - esp because I barely write one character and have only just started writing the other and I wasn’t sure how they would come across on paper.
@lancedinah
replied to your post
“okay, medical people of tumblr. can anyone explain to me what john...”
I'm not the medical side of tumblr and I still need to watch the episode but usually with degenerative nerve damage it means that it is irreversible and once your nerves begin to get damaged they become weakened and that can cause tremors to occur.
ah I see. so basically (spoilers) diggle got a bit of shrapnel in his chest during the explosion on lian yu and that led to degenerative nerve damage, resulting in him being unable to fire his gun. but if you’re saying it’s irreversible I can see how it would affect john mentally too, as well as the tremor.
#therewas-a-girl#me.txt#replies#lancedinah#arrow#john diggle#dinah drake#spartancanary#otp: i've never felt this way before
