#i hope people will be Normal about it bc i love this wip so much already. i transcribed the whole ass convos form BOTH

[blorbologist]

me, staring at this fic I’m writing: either the Imodna nation is gonna love me for this unhealthy, codependent and teetering on the edge of passion/destruction dynamic

or I’ll be nailed to a cross in an unsexy way

[yellowloid]

ten people i'd like to get to know better

i was tagged by @uhbasicallyjustmilex @arcticshadowturtles @rearviewghost - thank you so much!! 💖

last song: girl, so confusing - charli xcx feat. lorde

favourite colour: purple and black 💜🖤 all shades of purple are just my favourite but especially lilac which i made my whole personality ever since i was like 13

last book: currently reading normal people by sally rooney, i'm really enjoying it so far! can't wait to catch up with the tv show, i've heard very positive reviews of it + i love daisy edgar jones' and paul mescal's on-screen chemistry, plus i miss ireland sm and the book is continuously feeding my dublin blues </3

last movie: i honestly can't remember bc i don't watch that many movies (i'm more of a tv show girlie) but it was probably visconti's 'death in venice' after reading the short novel - thomas mann is one of my favourite authors and the movie perfectly captured the languidly eerie atmosphere of the book

last tv show: tim burton's wednesday! i purposely avoided it back when it came out bc everyone was talking about it and you know how it goes, the more people talk about smth the less i feel the desire to watch it lmao. but then last month i was in the mood for smth with a spooky autumn vibe that was also kinda light, so i decided to give it a chance and it was a really nice surprise! i wasn't expecting to like it so much but i found it really entertaining, i loved jenna ortega's portrayal of wednesday and i also found her and enid so cute (GOD i hope they make wenclair canon in s2 it'd be so good)

sweet/spicy/savoury: savoury all the way, but after that then also a sweet treat

relationship status: blessedly single and also the dating scene is so atrocious i'd rather put my hand in a blender than open tinder ever again

last thing i googled: t.s. eliot's poem 'the naming of cats' because i remembered i had it saved somewhere but couldn't find it so i just looked it up - it's so silly i love it

current obsessions:

am/tlsp as always - i  finished writing a very long chapter of my wip the other day and even tho it was very angsty i'm so happy i finally finished it because i'd been bogged down in a slump for quite some time and i'm just so glad i managed to pull myself out of it. just a couple of chapters left and then the fic will be completely written :')

taylor swift as always - last couple of days i've been losing my mind over her new surprise songs outfits specifically. i see. i see it all so clearly

garrett and andrew (my favourite youtubers along with dan and phil): i LOVED the new spooky video and ugh every single one of their videos has the power to become a comfort video to me

bungo stray dogs and soukoku in particular - i watched the anime for the first time back at the start of 2020, then i rewatched it around this time last year and i'm afraid ever since then it's been living in my mind rent free, especially these two chaotic bitter exes </3 i'm on volume 18 of the manga but i need to catch up asap!!

looking forward to: having dinner with my friends on saturday night, the new bsd chapter at the start of november, christmas time, planning another trip with the girls <3 also having a break (isn't going to happen soon unfortunately) and getting some quality SLEEP i'm so tired

Hello 🧐 saw that rude comment of an anon and... manners????💀 I really hope that was just a very poor worded comment and not meant like that!

Never get down with such comments! You're writing is legitimate perfect and perfection does take its time!

And MAY I ADD that you also didn't just left, but taking your time to interact with us daily and try to catch up asks and such!

youre are OBVIOUSLY very diligent and VERY patient ❤❤❤ PLUS the long ocean liner story??!!! HELLOOO???!

Yeah, I rest my case. One of the BEST and my most favourite hobby authors ngl! I am actually a very picky reader, rarely there are stories on the internet that keeps me interested and wanting for more 😍 And here are the crack stuff you asked for lol

Just a sneeze... Kry won't rest until darling literally does...

I forgot Krys glasses in the last one 😪

Darling stole the maid apron btw...

And this one was dedicated to one of your answers about a Hedwigs ask :3 where anon described how secretly scary Hedwig is bc you dont realise her intentions until its too late. And your answer's ending where you described darling being genuine and not having the urge to impress her like others made me think that a frugal!darling would be the most funniest partner for Hedwig lol. Someone who just doesnt want to spend money excessively despite its there... yeah have fun Hedwig! Mwah! :D

so yeah, that slap was personal too lmao, I dont trust a robot vaccum cleaner to be reliable XDD i am sorta a clean addict ^^

I have another one but that is wayyyyy too long and messy to finish it, in general these sketches are a hot mess (i apologize, I normally never post such unfinished wips but I hope you still had fun. Imma show you the other sketch per chat though :p)

Haha omg no these are fantastic what the hell? I laughed out loud in public and now people probably wonder what tf I'm doing😅 I love these so much. I'm not going to lie however, I thought it was Silas in the second comic before I read the explanation. Which means that I was totally fine with him wearing a maid apron. I do not know how to feel about that ...

Fun story, we own a robot vacuum that is ass, and one day it just ... disappeared? Literally grew legs and walked away. I looked for 30 minutes after that damn thing. IT HAD HIDDEN ITSELF UNDER MY MOTHERS FUCKING WARDROBE ... ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE APARTMENT?

I see that you've sent a private message so I'm going to take a peak right after this!!

I'm sure the anon used the wrong wording! But they're getting a story later on today so I hope that will satisfy them :) but thank you so much for your nice words, they warmed my heart🥹🫶🏻🩷

WIPs UPDATES!

okay,,, i'm just gonna give everyone a quick update on two main things i'm working on: EX PROBLEM and chapter 12 of A MAN'S HEART IS TRULY A WRETCHED, WRETCHED THING.

starting with EX PROBLEM...

currently working on chapter 3. and im stuck.

i imagine the fic would probably have around 5-7 chapters.

there's gonna be um,, some.. wriothesley x fem! reader stuff.

^ i honestly don't know how far should MC go for him actually, like.. are they just gonna kiss? or they're gonna do more? idk pls lemme know what u want. it's a possibility that they're gonna do more.

^ and idk if this is a good news or not cause i know there are people who strictly wants to just be with ajax and ajax only, but i swear guys it's gonna be fun. maybe

like, if you want some angry sex, u gotta make ajax so so fucking angry and he's not gonna be too angry just bcs you give another guy a kiss on the lips right...

i want to give him aneurysm of his life.

EX PROBLEM is probably gonna be released around december or january OR february. if everything is going good, and normal, and nothing happens to me.

so if you're religious, pls pray so i wont have writer's block or demotivated or some fanfic-author canon events happening irl.

love ya u extra mega patient people.

THEN, MOVING ON... A MAN'S HEART IS TRULY A WRETCHED, WRETCHED THING.

YAAYY, chapter 12 is... almost finished.

i got the outlines for the few last part ready so,, i just need some days to finally finish it and proofread it.

i thought about splitting it into parts, cause there's lots of things happening here but... hmmm, i just want to keep the series short and as much as i like to torture my readers with cliffhangers, i decided to be nice about it and just put it in one chapter. hope it wont overwhelm you all tho<3

^ another reason for this is so the next chapter will start with those heavy feelings that we've accumulated in the previous one.

and tbh, i'm really nervous abt this one cause i want it to be PERFECT, i want it to hit you in the right places.

to summarize everything happening in chapter 12, MC gonna be spiraling throughout the whole chapter.

still not sure when to post this tho. probably at the end of next week, or maybe after new year!!

OKAY, i think that's all. i'm open to any suggestions, open to any theory discussion n stuff. love ya. stay healthy n happy everyone<3

[ladytauria]

Omg your WIPS are so intriguing--are queries limited to one?? If it's one I would love to hear about dicktim (which autocorrect wants to turn into suck Tim) sex ed. And if it's not I also wanna know all about JayTimSteph falling in love!!

no not limited to one at all!

so the dicktim one was supposed to be done in time for dicktim week for the prompt “hands on sex ed” but… that didn’t end up happening, lmao. it’s aob, with alpha!tim & omega!dick~ dick invites tim over, but oh no, he’s out of suppressants and his heat is coming… won’t tim be a good alpha and stay with him? he promises he’ll teach him allllll about how to be a good alpha & please his partners~

Dick is a bad person.

He’s spent a long time trying to deny it, to believe it when his friends tell him he’s being too hard on himself, holding himself to ridiculous standards.

Those denials might work when he’s beating himself up after being stretched thin across cases and civilian obligations. They fall flat in the face of the low, insistent pull of preheat building in his core.

A preheat that should have been prevented by his suppressants.

The pharmacy auto-prompter had texted to remind him to pick up his refills three times before finally leaving him be. That had been a little over a month ago.

If anyone asks, Dick is still going to tell people he forgot.

Buying condoms on his last grocery run was just a coincidence.

Inviting Tim over shortly after he started to feel the tell-tale cramps in his gut and thighs was another one.

He’s pretty sure people will believe him. Dick will be the only one who knows the truth.

He’s gotten accustomed to living with guilt over the years. He thinks he can handle this too.

Tim shows up five minutes early. He lets himself in through the front door. The lack of traps has his brow furrowing adorably before Dick slots himself into Tim’s space.

“Hey there, baby bird,” he greets, a touch softer than usual. He doesn’t need to tip Tim’s face up. By now, the baby alpha knows exactly what Dick wants, face flushed pink in anticipation.

Dick nuzzles him, rubbing the tips of their noses together before nosing against his cheek. Tim smells good. The milky scent of puphood has almost faded entirely, drowned out by a warm, nutty scent. Dick’s mouth waters. He wants to chase it to its source—tease out more of it, and the hint of alpha musk underneath.

It’s harder to pull away than normal. Dick does it anyway, ignoring the way his belly cramps.

Usually, this is when Tim ducks away, adorably pink cheeked as he excuses himself to put away his things or whatever other task he can cook up for himself in the moment.

Not today.

Today, Tim’s lashes flutter. He looks—almost dazed, the blue of his eyes hazy. His flush darkens… and then he drops his bag as he steps into Dick’s space.

They’re so close they’re almost touching. Dick can feel the warmth radiating off of Tim. He swallows, tongue darting out to wet his lips. He thinks Tim watches it—thinks his gaze lingers on his lips, but he can’t be sure.

It might just be a desperate, foolish hope.

Tim scents him. Dick hardly dares to breathe. His pulse quickens. He can feel it—can feel the flush in his skin grow warmer, the ache in his groin grow more pronounced.

It’s not like the scentings he gets from Bruce, or his team, or Babs. Tim is thorough about it. Deliberate. He lingers, until Dick is coated in his scent.

It feels wonderfully possessive—like Tim wants to leave no room for doubt as to who Dick belongs to.

More wishful thinking.

More likely it’s the mark of an inexperienced alpha. Tim is a pup still—much more likely to be scented than to do any scenting of his own.

Still.

Dick clings to the fantasy. If all goes well, after all, it might just become reality.

and jaytimsteph i shared a little bit about here! but have another snippet bc i really love this wip, haha. writing steph’s pov is sooo fun!

Jason’s apartment is one of Steph’s favorite places to be. It’s open and spacious without feeling empty; well-decorated without feeling cluttered. Comfy-but-mismatched furniture and books tucked into every out-of-the-way space. Large windows letting in lots of natural light, exposed brick walls, hardwood floors. Swords and knives on the wall; healthy, vibrant plants on every surface; mementos from various countries on shelves.

And it was clean. Steph was pretty sure he dusted. (Which. Steph couldn’t think about that too long without picturing maid uniforms, and honestly. What was it about these two that turned her into a horny teenage boy? Ridiculous.)

Steph shows up at six with the brownies tucked under her arm. Jason welcomes her in with a smile, looking unfairly handsome in an old, faded tee and sweats. His socks have cats on them; grey ones, wearing chunky black glasses.

“Is that my shirt?” he asks as she steps in.

Steph pauses, looking down. Sure enough, the flannel she’d thrown on over her lounge clothes is Jason’s.

“Oh. Oops.”

She doesn’t even remember borrowing it.

Or who she borrowed it from—it’s equally as likely that she could have gotten it from Tim or even Cass. The three of them basically share a closet, which is also full of pilfered items.

Jason snorts. “It’s fine. It looks good on you.” His eyes sweep over her, but don’t linger—no matter how much Steph wishes they would.

[curious about my wips? send me an ask about one of the ones listed here]

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

Wip ask game: more of bat-swap please?

The basic “Body swap” idea but played entirely seriously in how uncomfortable it physically is and the ramifications it has on peoples views of the other, Bruce is taking the switch as his golden opportunity to figure out Captain Marvels identity and Billy is over at the manor silently stressing + everything else around them going haywire. My thought process as I write being “Comics have done weirder for a run” and the fact it’s a fanfiction written for me and others as equally insane as I am. I’ve got the same ending in mind as I did at the beginning, but y’all are just going to have to wait to see how the second half of this fic plays out

Being entirely honest, I’m just loving all the love people have been giving this fic. Love the bookmarks people leave, the comments, the fact there’s people coming here to scream with me about it. Lately bc of my typical summer slump and changes in how to write and with what tools have messed me up so it’s been a slower process getting it out. Yes, it’s taking a while but we’re getting back to it slowly but surely.

During the first drafts of this whole deal I planned for more initial hostility from the batfam to cap, plus him getting figured out quicker but that just wasn’t much fun trying to flesh out. Eventually it all just ballooned into a 40 chapters for an ~4 day period and suddenly there’s 10 other fics in the works. So while there’s all that going on, here’s a snippet for a future chapter (that may or may not get whittled down)

(Spoilers for the chapter following ch 40, just incase)

“Is there a reason other than “Because I’m Batman.” as to why you have your own private Zeta to your office here?” Billy gestured to the much more sized down Batcave of the Watchtower, only holding a few spare suits in cases and an extra Batcomputer compared to the meticulously thought out hoarding problem his home cave was. Bruce simply made a noncommittal hum as he stepped off the smaller platform, having instructed Billy to wait on the much larger one in the cave feeling like the child sent to another room so a parent could berate their kids without an impressionable witness.

He didn’t like being treated like any kid of child in any kind of scenario, but with the stress that weighed on him the past few days and his anxieties finally bursting out of their bubble in a mess of tears he was kinda happy he didn’t need to see Bruce take the long way in telling his kids that under no circumstances were they to keep investigating into him. It wouldn’t work, Billy knew a few of them too well and knew their teacher in all things detective-y would never take that order seriously and neither would his oh-so prodigal pupils that had long since outgrown him and his orders. But, Billy could hope, and so he did and would continue to do.

He’s made it just about six years and through a lot of crazy stuff in the meantime, he can believe in good for goodness's sake and hope a few days longer until he can fly back home and stay home.

The Achillean thought of simply wrapping himself in blankets and refusing to ever talk to another bat becomes tempting for all of one moment, when he snaps out of his own head and follows Bruce off the platform.

“SHA—!” Billy covers Bruce’s mouth, “You can just say it like a normal person or whisper it.” He informs matter-a-factly, and Bruce listens, thankfully. Quietly saying the word so there’s a small bolt of lightning that crackles as he turns back into Billy without making the whole base go Code Red with a sudden powerful electrical surge caused by magic thunder ripping through everything. The jarring feeling of seeing his body twisted into someone’s else’s ideal made all the more uncomfortable at seeing Batman use his face to convey his usual stoicism in the face of absolute insanity.

[mitskook]

a very mitskook 2023 wrap-up

hi everyone

so i didn't write very much in 2023, that much is apparent. now i'm not gonna sit here act like that's a massive loss considering the vast amount of extremely talented writers that produced wonderful work this year, but i am still disappointed in myself from, i guess, a labour of love perspective. i look at the work i have contributed to the fandom over the years and i still have more i want to add, more stories i want to tell (trust me the wip folder makes me weep too).

but every time i wanted to write, the idea of making a love story made me so miserable i had to scrub it from my head. and worse, when i pushed past that obvious discomfort, the love in those stories soured into resentment, rage, and a cruelty i couldn't justify (to this audience at least). particularly with tsdverse, this next installment is about m'boys really grappling with conflicts that have no easy answers (if they have answers at all) and man am i so fucking glad i wrote that flashforward with heejin to keep a north star on where they would end up because if i hadn't, i would've completely shattered them in a misdirected fireball of righteous grief. im glad i had that to hold on to bc i haven't had much else.

my 2023 has been. uh. trying amongst the good stuff (and i promise there was some good stuff) but not this. my mum had a heart attack, i was fired for not coming back to work straight after her surgery, and i was couch surfing and unemployed for long enough i felt like i'd wrecked my life forever. and, of course, i was mourning my relationship that ended at the end of last year, and to be honest i'm still not done with that. that's the absolute joy and misery of tying your heart to someone you're hoping will be around forever: your eyes don't see anything the same anymore, certain songs that come on shuffle make you break down on the tube, you realise huge swathes of your social media presence, including ao3, were built for one person and it wasn't you, and now? all those things are monuments to the emptiness you feel every time you remember they're not in your life anymore.

to be extremely clear, i'm not blaming my ex for these feelings, and if anyone harasses them on my behalf i will personally hunt you down and gut you with a knitting needle, but in missing them as much as i do i realised how inextricable they were from my writing process. i mostly wrote fic to make them happy, to hear their praise and notes and excitement to read the rest, and that was unfair on everyone; me, them, and you (if you look forward to my work, i don't wanna presume lmao). that's too much pressure to put on someone who just wasn't interested in bangtan rpf anymore, and that's normal, it's okay to move on from that, but it meant even before the breakup i didn't know who i was doing it for anymore. that level of directionlessness (<- not a word but whatever) gummed up those creative gears until they had no choice but to stop.

anyway to maybe cap this pity party a bit, i want to start sharing my writing more on here, and i won't wait for people to clamour to let me know that that's wanted bc again, i need to start rebuilding my confidence in my writing and feeling out where i fit into this community after basically silently moping around for a full year. i want to sincerely thank everyone who's ever read my work. i won't promise to do anything but my best, and in the meantime i'll give all the snippets to you.

lots of love

grow back your sharpest teeth (you know my desire) [WIP Wednesday Snippet Part Zwei!]

Annnnnd here is a snippet of my Steddie Week fic for Day 7! AKA Transmasc Steve's Strap Collection. The premise is Eddie is a tattoo artist, Steve is very much into him. Also Steve is trans and has insane strap game, and also only xenodicks. It's.... a very self-indulgent AU I've created where I get to live my dreams as a trans man in love with Eddie Munson, okay? also Robin is trans, stobin is t4t platonic soulmates ;p

Also I got impatient so I'm posting this at lunch instead :)

“Hey! You’re early,” Eddie said as he walked out to greet them properly. “I’ve got a couple designs done for you to choose from.”

Soon they were huddled around a battered iPad, discussing the designs Eddie drew up based on the Barbie logo until they decided on one they both liked the best.

“I want mine in baby blue, and Steve wants his in the Barbie pink,” Robin said and Eddie laughed warmly at that.

“Listen, normally I don’t care about the tattoos my clients get, but since you’re friends I’m really curious,” Eddie confessed, gesturing at the design. “Why the Barbie logo?”

Robin laughed a bit nervously and Steve spoke up. “I mean, you know we’re both trans, right? Well, Barbie is the ideal, she’s everything, so especially for Robs here, she’s kind of a huge deal. Y’know?”

Eddie nodded with a grin. “That’s sick, I love it,” he said before turning a sly look on Steve. “Wouldn’t you be Ken, though?”

Steve had hoped Eddie would ask a question like that and he had to refrain from punching the air and ruining his punchline.

“I come with all the coolest accessories, so obviously I’m Barbie,” Steve retorted, his voice going just a bit deeper as he leaned closer to Eddie.

Just as he’d hoped, Eddie blushed lightly and he glanced at Steve’s mouth, just like he always did when Steve flirted. Then Eddie laughed breathlessly and he smirked suggestively.

“I bet you do, big boy,” he teased and Steve had to hold back from cheering loudly as once again, Eddie played into the little script he’d practiced all week.

“You can always come over sometime and see for yourself,” Steve offered almost innocently if not for the way he nudged Eddie’s ankle with his foot. “Maybe even take a couple for a spin?”

Eddie’s eyes widened and his face turned a gorgeous shade of red before he cleared his throat. “Stevie, if I didn’t know better I’d think you were asking me out,” Eddie said with an almost nervous laugh and Steve nearly screamed in frustration. Why was this man so oblivious?

“You apparently don’t actually know better,” Steve pressed...

Annnnnnnd I'm only tagging a couple people: @scarcrossdlvrs, @patchworkgargoyle, @steve-harringtits, @rugbertgoeshome (tagging u bc ur tags on the post i linked made me laugh VERY hard), @scoops-stevie (tagging u bc u originally reblogged the og post like 👀 pls do not feel like u HAVE to interact w this xkxndkmsjd)

[kikuism]

hello mariam!! 💕💖 it fills me with joy when you reblog things from me and i can see the little 'kou' or 'kaname' or 'kiku' tag. they are like old friends to me. how are they doing? and how is your writing going?? i know we both share much less of it (or none of it) on tumblr these days but i hope it's going well. give your ocs a little kiss for me mwah <3

jenna your messages always make me smile 💗💓💞 i always think it's funny how i've done a complete 180 with regards to my writing....i wouldn't shut up about it, and now it’s become absolutely private and personal to me, and the thought of sharing it now feels like it would take a huge leap of faith. but i'm still writing, writing a lot ... with the same old struggles. i wish i wasn't so hard on myself, but that just means i've grown in my skills. still, i wish i could just write freely and without abandon and not pick it apart afterward.

i rotate between kiku kou and kaname all the time!! i literally feel kiku and kou growing up with me, they've been with me for so long....lately i've put them in the taisho era bc it's a fascinating time period in regard to the fusion between eastern and western culture that was flourishing (and causing a lot of anxieties) in the country. i also really love the aesthetics/fashion of this period. kiku and naomi are aloof listless heirs in their huge sprawling estate etc. they just don't really know what to do with themselves. then one afternoon new household staff arrives in the form of a blind boy....

one thing i found really interesting during my research was this concept of 'feminized' masculinity in regards to the increased consumerism and consumption of western culture and aesthetics that was happening in this era; the adoption of western material culture was 'showy' and superficial and therefore it was feminized. contrasted with this more rugged notion of masculinity that rejected everything western and was upheld by conforming to traditional values like devotion to the nation. these two representations of masculinity constituted differing responses to the problem of modernity. the fear that the nation was becoming emasculated in the wake of foreign influence is one i hadn't heard of before...it all comes down to a fear of losing one's identity in the wake of change. can you still maintain a sense of self while evolving into something new? i thought to parallel this change happening on a smaller more personal scale to kou entering the confines of kiku’s home and the feelings he arouses in him. he's puzzled and intrigued and attracted all at once. although his family embraces modern sensibilities in terms of dress and art, it's really just for appearances sake, because at this time it was still mainly the wealthy who could afford these types of clothes and luxuries. on the inside they are quite a traditional family, so there's that tension as well. i also read a little about how servants were portrayed in the literature of this time period, and how in this shared space master and servant sometimes crossed boundaries especially in the way these modern homes were constructed.

oh and kaname!! so much has changed. the assassin plotline has kind of dropped completely......it's not at all what i'm focusing on right now. i've discovered a lot about her through backstory and it's basically all i write now. it's crazy....i felt blocked for so so long with her, but all i had to do was focus on another aspect of her and then the words started pouring out. in this wip i focus on the tensions between those who are living on the fringes of society and the 'normal' people inside, no matter how frugally they might be living. kaname belongs to the former. there was a class of people in the edo period called eta who engaged in professions related to death, blood and the handling of corpses and were therefore considered defiled and unclean by the rest of society and all their work was confined to the outskirts of the villages and neighborhoods. they weren't allowed in these places unless it was to beg and only then at certain times. they were severely ostracized and had to adhere to strict rules regarding almost every aspect from their life, from the way they dressed to who they married, and an eta was considered 1/6th of a regular person. it's .... really hard to do research on the eta bc there don't seem to be that many records from that time and often i need really specific information like what the inside of their huts looked like 😭 i need information on these eta villages and what they were like. kaname works in leather making, particularly skinning hides. she's living a rather numb, listless life and her only solace comes from sneaking off and standing on the great ryogoku bridge that connects her world to the lively world of the other side, where people wear different colored kimono and eat real food and seem to live actual lives. her only friend is a sickly girl named nana who lives deeper in the eta village but who spends her evenings with her after her work drinking tea and eating the slurry of grains that make up their supper.

nana seems content with life, but kaname is restless. she really wants to eat the food she sees being sold at stalls in the village on the other side of the bridge. i love kaname and nana, they're literally 🌑 and☀️.

nana loves taking care of her and kaname is like. ew. stop that. but she tries to do whatever she can to make nana happy bc her smile and laugh soothe her :') not that she examines these emotions too closely or anything. one night during the summer fireworks festival, one of the times when the eta are permitted to enter the inner village, they both go to sell handmade dolls and other paraphernalia in the hopes of getting some alms. but the night ends badly, and that's when kaname's story really starts....

so that's where i am with my writing! it's so hard but it's so fun. the light of my life. and omg i finally posted some kaname stuff 🫣

[bropunzeling]

hello hi!! it is me again!! finished my bropunzeling doubleheader and ahgggghh hhhh!!!!!! i swear to god the payoff in only fools rush in is so good it made me see STARS . i loved it so much oh my god. i’m obsessed with matthew the sort of unreliable narrator who cannot for the life of him figure out that leon is so down bad it makes him look stupid. the spain chapter !!!!!!!!!!!!! just sooooo good!!!!!! it’s been a while since i’ve reread girl!leon (my beloved) and one thing i do remember vividly is how much i loved the sicily chapter, where she’s pining so bad. idk there’s something about them on vacation that hits different . maybe it’s because it’s july but maybe not who knows. the portrayal of the loneliness matthew feels and the moving across the continent about it felt so real to me (and relatable. ouchie!!)

also. the porn. the feelings that are expressed through it. that is so well done and so hard to come by? like the way they express their affection through it is phenomenal. gagged me fr i’m going to be thinking about it for a while

there’s one bit that made me go insane fr fr. near the end, when they’re in leon’s hotel room and they’re finally resolving:

“I do," he says. His voice is shaking, from fear or nerves or adrenaline or the hope that's threatening to consume him. It akes all of his courage to uproot himself, to make himself move wards Leon. To take that last, final step, until he and Leon are almost touching. Are close enough that Matthew can feel Leon's sody heat, can see the lines around his eyes, can smell hotel shampoo and skin. "I do want it."

i don’t know if the narration break (i don’t know the right word for it) between “i do” and “i do want it” done on purpose as in the wedding vows i dos but anyways it made me go CRAZY. JUST AHHHHHHHH SICK SICKKKKKKK. genuinely made me glad i have eyeballs and a brain. GOD.

anyways. i do still believe you are akin to jane austen . i love you and i am going to read the matty/shane fic i had put off (bc i don’t really know them) with an open heart and full trust. i love you and u live your writing <33333333333 hope your pillow is cool on both sides tonight <3

anon it is potentially indulgent to publish this but i dont want to lose it in my inbox!!!! im kissing you on the mouth!!!! ty for being so kind! especially since i've been feeling less creative than the past few years (which, tbh..... the output of the past two years were deeply unsustainable 💀) and the current wip is going slow. ur timing is so wonderful. thank you!!!! it amazes me every day that people like, really like these things that i write.

also not to take as an excuse to babble but i DO think there is something generally when writing a romantic fic where taking ur characters and sticking them somewhere outside their normal circumstances they're better able to get to those deeper feelings? like, being away from "reality" of rivalry or hate or what have you allows to like, tap into those big big emotions. this is why i love writing vacation scenes. i cannot be stopped.

anyway ty so much, what a nice start to the day, i hope you enjoy shane and matty!!!!! they're nice boys!!!!

I AM LOOKING HARD AT YOUR ZENITH BETA ARTWORK I've always kind of disliked the idea of zenith!Beta because I feel like the strongest and most compelling aspect of Aloy and Beta's sibling relationship was how Aloy is Beta's Rost. She is now the few-worded, directive, somewhat brooding protector to her assigned charge. And despite the debatable blood relations, their family. It's a prefect way to wrap up Aloy's arc and showcase how deeply important they are to each other. They NEED either other. I felt like Zenith!Beta storylines took away from that because if Beta already has the skills to basically overpower the world that Aloy struggled and struggled to conquer. (This option is subjective, people are allowed to like this trope even if I normally don't.)

BUT, BUT--- The premise you have set seems SUPER FUCKING INTERESTING. The hinted at the dynamic between Beta and Tilda. OH MY GOD, and Aloy basically having to slowly "wake" Beta up from that delusion. Oh, baby. I always give extra appreciation to creaters who can take a trope/take/plot that I don't like and make me fall in love. You haven't even written anything yet (or showcased stuff u have written), yet I'm passionate about it all the same. That being said, don't pressure yourself to make this idea of yours a reality just cuz I would love to see it. It is your story and there are many more important things in life than fictional characters (unfortunately). I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciate your WIPs and works (both art and writing) <3

Hi!! Thanks!! Honestly your problem with zenith!Beta is about the same as mine (not that I’ve read anything that’s out there). She is so essential for Aloy’s development and the story of FW in general. Also I love Beta and this AU is just hey what if everything about her was different? Your point about Aloy being Beta’s Rost is also 👌

That said, this time Aloy’s realisation about not being some sorta spiritual carbon copy of an innately righteous and strong person, and that actually her family and friends and choices made her and she has an identity of her own, comes not from Beta being seemingly ‘weak’ and stuck in hopelessness and dependent on others, but from Beta acting straight up evil. This person is the opposite of everything Aloy believes Elisabet was (and therefore made her). She’s like, how could a clone of Elisabet be so apathetic? she’s so mean 😭. Forces her to look inward in other ways haha.

Then of course it’s not reaalllly like that bc Beta is so completely brainwashed that she just doesn’t get it, and Aloy slowly realises that too. She’s stunted in a very different way to canon Beta, and comes in confusion to concepts like empathy and trust and hope from an antagonistic angle rather than a compassionate one. Which makes her the most annoying person ever to exist. The Tilda relationship is also Worse. As you can imagine.

I’ve written like a tiny tiny opening for this and have some rough notes, but it’d be long :( and I’m like do I realllyyy want to write another long story about a sobeck clone interfacing w zenith tech. And Tilda, can I bear to write more of that asshole? I’m not sure. That said it would be different stylistically bc I want to do first person (idk if you’ve read the Murderbot diaries, but those are the vibes). It’s an opposite character evolution from against the lightning in a way lol. I reckon I still want to write it

Buttt many more important things than fictional characters (unfortunately), as you say. So sad. I had (was forced) to take a few weeks off work a couple months back and spent almost the whole time just writing. I was so pumped about this other story and was like surely I’ll keep this up. Haven’t fuckin looked at it. Work is 😫. And I’m looking for a new job. Ugh. I am a constant knot of anxiety.

Anyway! Thanks so much!! Feel free to dm as well if you want to discuss further haha, I’d love the excuse

🐬Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s)

&

🖍Post Any sentence from your wip!!!

Thank you for the ask!

🐬 I have a wip called "brothers" which is about Cal, Lia and Rolan bg3 and Cal and Lia each having romantic interests which causes Rolan stress.

🖍 Take the whole of the blocked dialogue between Cal and Rolan for the first third of this fic. Have I posted this before? Oh well.

Cal: [interrupts Rolan reading with a broom, a mug of water, a comb and some scissors] Guess what time of year it is! [bi-annual hair cut] Rolan: Cal. Cal: Come on, Rolan. All these important people you’ve been meeting? You could at least look presentable. It won’t take but a minute. Rolan: All right. That’s hardly necessary. Cal: What kind of brother would I be if I didn’t check your sideburns when cutting your hair? Rolan: A normal one. Cal: How do you still have no gray? Rolan: A miracle, I know. Is Lia’s much worse? Cal: Just enough to shine at the moment. She’ll look a decade older than you in another five years or so, though. I have a few now. S’not so bad. Rolan: No, you’ll both look very distinguished, I’m sure. Cal: Rolan? Rolan: Mm? Cal: Would it bother you if I stayed out some nights? Rolan: What do you mean? Cal: There isn’t really any privacy here. There’s a girl. Rolan: You? A girl? Cal: I like all kinds. Rolan: That’s not what I— Cal. Have I met her? Cal: You can’t vet her, yet. You don’t know her. Frankly, I’m surprised you know anyone, cooped up in the tower as often as you are. Rolan: Hence your need for privacy. What did Lia say? Cal: I haven’t told her. She’s even more protective than you are, you know that. Rolan: Would she like her? Your girl? Cal: I hope so. She’s bubbly and sweet. Rolan: No, you’re describing champagne. Tell me about her like a person, Cal. Cal: Her sister, married, works a forge. She runs their shop. They sell scissors, and cutlery and the like. Pens. Fillings for High Town dentistry. She’s a little waifish. Bad lungs. Leg brace. She won’t be able to work the forge if her sister passes. They’re thinking of taking on an apprentice or child minder. At the moment her brother-in-law minds the kids.

Rolan: How many? Cal: Two. [slow, obviously still surprised himself; bc i hc him and lia as twins] Twins. [pause] The kids look human. Their father is. The sisters are tieflings. Rolan: [a pause] They’re lucky. [i also like the hc that rolan was born among humans and had a few years to find a lack of sympathy for tieflings like himself] Cal: They’re children. They’d be lucky in their circumstances either way. They seem like a very loving family. Rolan: What’s her name? Cal: Her virtue name is Joy. Rolan: Appropriate. You know a lot about her. Cal: We’ve been meeting up every day this past week for lunch. And every few days for the past month before that. Rolan: A month? Have we been here so long already? Cal: Bit more. Rolan: What does she know of me? Cal: Only good things. [pause] Mostly good things. Rolan: [both snickering] One good thing. [pause] You’d spend a night with her and all that family? Cal: No. I was … I was thinking I’d get us a room in Rivington. Rolan: Rivington?! Cal: Cheaper than the Elfsong, and I want to take her somewhere nice for dinner, do her hair first, stay up late after. Rolan: That sounds like a lot of walking for your waifish darling. Cal: And what do you suggest? Rolan: Well, first, I think we should close off some levels of the tower. You’re right about it lacking privacy. And second, it’s impossible Lia’s going to object to you wooing this girl. I’ll figure it out, but I’m serious when I say Elfsong or better. Especially for something like this. Your whole heart’s in this, Cal. Cal: Rolan— [hair cut paused] Rolan: Cal. Cal: Rolan, I want you to save that money. And … I don’t know whether closing some of the tower would be worth it. Rolan: What’s that supposed to mean?

Cal: Business is high. The cataloguing’s almost done. Soon you’ll be hired for wards and enchantments and be making big sales with Brooms of Flying and all sorts of wonders. You’ll be consulted on research. Rolan: I know you think you’re being complimentary but you’re digging a very big hole at the moment. What’s your point? Cal: You’ll be able to hire menial hands to do the work I’ve been doing for you. I don’t have a lot to contribute here. [hair cut resumes] Rolan: Cal— Cal: I was going to start looking at apprenticeships. Preferably in coiffure, but maybe the forge … if there’s nothing else, I mean. Kanon and I had been talking about tailoring, but … you know how things go. I want my own space. I want to forget about blades and spells. [possibly hair cut finished] I’m not like you and Lia. Rolan: You’re right. You’re not. [an embrace] But you will always be my brother. And you’re here now. So. Woo your maiden, and I’ll start budgeting. Cal: Forgive me? Rolan: There’s nothing to forgive. Cal: [pulling away] You’re the best.

Tag game to better know you

Thanks for the tag @thetorontokid ❤️ This feels very aol 1998 and I love it!!

What book are you currently reading?

Nothing 🫣 I started Brotherhood and never finished it if that counts as “currently reading.” I will finish it when time allows!

What's your favourite movie you saw in theatres this year?

I don’t think I’ve been to the moves since TROS 😂

What do you usually wear?

LOTS of t-shirts of all different sizes depending on mood. And they’re worn with jeans, cargos, or skirts. Love a good kimono to dress it all up.

How tall are you?

5'4"

What's your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?

Scorpio ♏️ I have the same birthday as Ming-Na Wen! Which is fun, bc Star Wars, but also bc I was obsessed with Mulan when it came out and all through my teen years… so much so that I put a dragon on my class ring instead of the school mascot like a normal girl 😂

Do you go by your name or a nickname?

Nickname here (Barma) and a different nickname irl.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

I was supposed to be an unwed psychologist with 4 cats. None of those happened 😂 (I have always had strange ambitions 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

See above lol - Married! 💍

What's something you're good at vs. something you're bad at?

I’m good at putting myself in other people’s shoes. I can find sympathy for ANYONE even if popular opinion says it isn’t deserved. I’m always looking for the reasoning behind a person’s actions and am quick to defend.

I am very bad at taking criticism, so much so that I’ll avoid putting myself out there at the risk of negative feedback. I am a perfectionist, and I’m bad a failing! I’d rather not even try than run the risk of failure. This online persona has helped with that tho 😊 Barma is less afraid 💪

Dogs or cats?

See above lmao - Cats! 🐈

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what's your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?

Idk if my writing counts since the chapters I’ve put out so far this year were originally written last year or the year before… so I’ll say my Valentines obikin photo session 😃

What's something you'd like to create content for?

I just want to keep doing the obikin thing, because it makes me happy. Fingers crossed for new story ideas after the current WIP wraps. 🤞

What's something you're currently obsessed with?

Well, it’s always going to be Star Wars, but specifically rn, I’m finding a renewed appreciation for Boga🦎 It’s a whole healing process thing.

What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

2023 is still young! I am excited about May 4th this week, finishing my fic in July, and my road trip to get a tattoo to commemorate it. REALLY hoping none of those will be disappointing.

What's a hidden talent of yours?

Financial planning/advising. No, it’s not what I do for a living, but I’ve often helped friends, family, and even businesses with creating budgets, debt consolidation, and all that good stuff. Maybe it’s what I should be doing for a living, but that whole fear of failing thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you religious?

I can’t not be. I’ve experienced way too much 🕊️

What's something you wish to have at this moment?

WELLNESS! I’ve been sick for over a week now.

I want to tag everyone! So if you see this, and want to do it, please do! But here’s a handful of friends bc I like to follow protocol 😂

@kana7o @unspuncreature @justaminion @wibzen87 @tunglo NO PRESSURE!

[milflewis]

omg i hope it’s love. i’m trying really hard to make it love for the wip game?

ok so far this is just 6k of charles and pierre trying to woo lewis into their bed and lewis not trying v hard to resist it lmao. (read: lewis fluttering his lashes and falling into their bed and on their dicks like oopsie! how did i get here! i'm soooo silly) and it’s v nearly finished ! i just need to sit down and tip tap tap out the remaining 2-3k tbh. a little stuck on a talking part between charles and pierre and the overall sex scene at the end and tying it all together but this is mainly just me being lazy bc i wrote most of this fic months ago in one go and then got distracted and now here i am

George: charles mate what the fuck

George: could you be any more embarrassing

Alex sent a photo

Alex: u r so red

George: AGSJKDKAHAJKD

George: LOOK AT HIS FACE

Alex: I KNOW

Lando: aw charles

Lando: wot r u doing

Lando: not like u guys can say shit

Lando: ur just jealous that it’s charles who made lewis look like that

Alex: we r not

George: piss off

“What are you looking at?”

Charles startles, fumbling with his phone, nearly dropping it. Lewis laughs, knocking his shoulder into his.

“Nothing, nothing,” Charles says, gripping his phone so tightly the edges of his case dig into his hands.

Lewis hums, eyebrows raised. “Okay,” he says, drawing out the ‘o’. “It wasn’t porn, was it?”

Charles chokes on his own spit as Lewis cackles. “No!”

“Chill, man, I didn’t think it was.”

Charles laughs with him, “You’re not funny.”

Lewis waves a hand, scoffing, “I’m hilarious, actually, but whatever.”

Charles glares at him and they start walking, towards their garages. Charles makes sure he isn’t looking at Lewis too much, paying attention to the people around him. The only thing worse than that press conference would be if he walked into a pole or something because he was too busy drooling over Lewis. He can already hear Alex and George laughing at him.

“I meant it, you know. What I said in there,” Lewis says, hands in his pockets, shoulders loose. People move out of the way as they walk down the paddock, some of them not even looking at them before moving, as if Lewis has this pull, this way about him, that lets you know he’s there without even seeing him. Charles is used to his picture being taken, but with Lewis, it’s always more than normal. He ignores them.

“I know,” Charles says, watching Lewis not look at him. “I meant it too.”

Lewis’s eyes flicker over to him then, face still relaxed. Charles wants to break all the cameras and close the door to everyone and tell Lewis to show what he’s feeling, tell him that he can. He keeps watching him instead.

“Are you sure?” Lewis asks and his pearls shine in the sun. Charles wants to reach out a hand, tangle his fingers in them, and pull Lewis in. He doesn’t do that either.

Charles makes sure he’s looking at Lewis when he says, “I’m sure.”

Lewis nods, eyes flickering away. “Okay,” he says, a grin lighting up his face, starting in his eyes. “Okay.”

Charles tells him about the latest thing Arthur has done that has given Lorenzo grey hairs, or so he says, because Charles has yet to see them. Lewis is laughing as they get to the Mercedes garage, the Ferrari one still further on.

“Here you go, Monsieur,” Charles declares, with an exaggerated flourish of his hand, just to make Lewis keep laughing. He does, head thrown back, hand on his stomach. Mercedes mechanics look up from what they’re doing and watch them. Charles ignores them too.

“Merci beaucoup,” Lewis grins at him, the words foreign and strange on his tongue, but his pronunciation near perfect. Of course it is, Charles thinks, he could never do anything by halves.

Lewis starts to walk away, waving to Bono, who stares back at both of them, face unreadable, before saying to Charles, “After the race? Your room? You’ll tell Pierre?”

Charles nods because what else are you supposed to do when Lewis Hamilton smiles at you like that, small and hesitant, and invites you and your boyfriend to his room. “I’ll text you,” Charles calls after him, walking backwards, and Lewis laughs. Some of the mechanics are still watching them and Charles keeps ignoring them.

He’s grinning to himself as he jogs back to the Ferrari garage. He’s got a date with Lewis Hamilton. He’s got a date with Lewis Hamilton. He can’t wait to tell Pierre.

He nearly walks into one of his mechanics as he gets to his garage, body going cold. Oh, god. He’s got a date with Lewis Hamilton! A date. With Lewis fucking Hamilton.

[defensivelee]

does anne do anything in any of your AUs?

Ooh yes she absolutely does!! She just doesn't appear much bc a lot of my AUs are Bentinck-centric but she does have some roles here and there!

She appears briefly in MENHERAMEN, helping Sarah through Marly's disappearance and later, death, but I do wish I had added more scenes there bc there are some angles I wanna explore. I think if I were to publish this AU (on ao3 or,,,somewhere), I would go back and add those scenes.

She shows up a little bit in the Warrior Cats AU. I always liked the nine lives ceremony in the series and I did have a WIP of her receiving those lives somewhere, so I hope I can finish that! Also, she just has a nice name....Robinfall to Robinstar....rolls off the tongue all nice like that.

She's in the MASA Works DESIGN AU, although ofc with that one, it's hard to tell bc it's a purely artistic AU. Mary inherited the curse from her father that drives her to eat human flesh, and one of her most common victims is Anne. I sometimes sketch Anne by herself with a lot of gorey imagery around her fingers, eyes, and uterus, and I do intend to post it at first before I finish it and I'm like "...yikes maybe that's too graphic." But if I do tone it down, that's what you can expect to see from her 👍👍

She deffo appears in Alien Alien, I just haven't written much of her bc again, most of the stuff I've written for it is for Bentinck (the man ever). But some of my fav design choices in this AU are on her! She has a twist near the end of her tail (somewhat like a kink in a cat's tail) and her second pair of horns curve back like her father's third pair. She sees more prophecies than visions, but she doesn't like them bc she thinks they're extremely cryptic and unhelpful. She writes them all down, though doesn't attempt to figure them out unless it looks like someone will die if she doesn't. Worrying about the future is something she tries not to do. She's also one of the few Asterothiriots who genuinely forgets that Marly is a human, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on her mood.

Anne also appears in the Seraph of the End AU as a potential danger to William and Mary, although the reason for that is the same reason that even Mary herself is a danger to William: James was the First Progenitor of the vampires, and his children are able to be made into some of the most powerful, destructive demons the world has ever seen. That's why Anne survives the apocalypse, because she isn't actually fully human. However, most people she knows didn't, and she's one of the few that realize that William and Mary's resurrection is the reason so many people died. She didn't enter Monmouth's kingdom after the apocalypse, and prefers to keep away from them until she figures out a way to fix the mess they caused, because she knows there is a way. However, that may just make her an easy target for James...

I think, however, that my favorite role of hers is in Six Lives Won't Make You Happy. She is in charge of "finding" out who murdered her uncle Charles, the former leader of the Disciples of Restoration. There isn't much finding out she has to do, though, because even though James put her in charge of that for show, he really is sabotaging her search, and besides, "we all know it's William." And normally, Anne would believe that, it'd make sense but...something about it just doesn't sit right with her.

Before the technical "beginning" of the story, she was already starting to turn away from the Disciples because she fell in love with George, someone who has no connection whatsoever to the world of crime and bloodshed she was brought up in. She at first merely wants to keep him away from that life, as he represents something happier for her, a promise of a future away from all of this, but then she realizes that she doesn't just want to keep George away from the Disciples, she wants to leave them as well. By the time Charles is murdered and she looks further into it, she has no doubt in her mind that James is the killer, and he wouldn't hesitate to kill his own children, either.

She is one of the first to flee the Disciples, hiding far away from her father and vowing never to return. She knew her childhood was blissfully easier than Mary's (whom James always treated, in a really strange, unsettling way, like his perfect "angel" of a daughter because she has no features that indicate she's a descendant of a devil), but she has witnessed things, and of course, they were both isolated from the world outside and somewhat still are. Anne obv managed to leave, but she still feels disconnected from everyone else she meets when once, it was impossible to believe there was a life outside of the Disciples.

Her relationship with Mary here is difficult (as always!). Unlike Anne, Mary always believed in the Disciples' and her father's teachings, growing up to be one of their most valuable assassins. She's never shown mercy to her father's victims, and has tortured a few people as James wished, all of which Anne has seen. Thus, she's a bit terrified of Mary, but also comes to hate her once she escapes, as in her mind, Mary's just the same as James in her relentless quest to bring about the rule of the Overlifers. However, she does eventually realize that Mary deserves a life too, and remembering their childhood, she knows that there's just something off about Mary's behavior.

It's only when Anne returns for Sarah and Marly (both members of the Disciples) that she fully realizes that Mary is more like her than she thinks. This is a girl who, like Anne, was fully indoctrinated into the dark beliefs of the Disciples, but unlike Anne, she has no escape. Everywhere she turns, there's always something that must bring her back to what she's always known, whether it be her MDMA and meth addiction, or the fact that even the man she loves is still an Overlifer and therefore still connected to the life that Mary wants to leave, or even just her own belief that she could never live a life without James. Anne wants to help her, but she only hopes that Mary forgets about her love for William soon...if she's in love with someone just as bad as James, then there can be no happy ending for her.

I look forward to writing her here, hers is one of my favorite arcs that I've ever created ✨✨

What would you say are your top five favorite ships to read vs top five favorite ships to write? And favorite genre(s) of fic? Also to read vs to write

hi i do Not know when you sent this and i’m sorry if it’s been ages. tumblr notifications are perpetually broken 💔

raphael and tav have unfortunately gripped my brain so horribly that they’ve been consistently my favorite to read AND write this year. likely next year too. i’m in so deep i’m figuring out which verses of the chant of light i’ll name the chapters of their dragon age au after 🙄 haven’t even finished the first chapter yet but i do know how it ends, beat-for-beat

other top four pairings i love to read: tav/astarion (caveat i am so picky about astarion characterization), armand/daniel (thank you to my friend molly bc she wrote a fic and it’s the only reason i watched the show lmao), figayda (my BELOVEDS), and caitjinx (shoutout cj server! love you all)

other top four pairings i love to write: trackerbees (i love messy first relationships <3), wyllzel (dragon age au originally started as a wyllzel wip, even if the devil weaseled his way in there instead), poppy/mc (i don’t really care about queen b too much but i do have fun writing them), and spite/rook/lucanis (as a surprise recent contender bc i’m having a BLAST with them. no i haven’t finished the game and no i don’t think what the game gave me is particularly good on its own but i can Fix It)

genres to read: LONG PLOTTY SLOWBURNS…i love you. i love them. i can’t plot them or write them normally but i love them. love a good hurt/comfort fic. LOVE a good horror fic/AU. slice of life but in a way that reckons with the weight of events that canon has to move quickly past by necessity or due to the limitations of its medium…it Slaps. and yeah smut which i read more of than anything else probably so it should go higher

genres to write: listen i can write good smut (i’d say pwp but when i try to do that it develops a lot of plot) and i do have fun doing so. i have a TON of fun writing action even though it requires way more editing from me than anything else. LOVEEE a character study. canon divergent fics are super fun, too. and idk if this is a genre but horrible dynamics between people so enamored with the powerplay of whatever they’re doing that they’re disgusted by catching actual feelings…yeah. Yeah. bonus points for Incredibly mutual obsession. on any of these but mostly that last one.

i hope this helps and also thanks for asking! <3
