141 x latina reader recs? 👉🏼👈🏼
Hi cariñoooo!!!
First of all, very excited to see another (hopefully?) latine in the cod fandom! It makes me so happy to see y'all here :) It's like finding shiny pokemon
Second, I must apologize in advance because my god is the 141 x latina tag BARE !!! There's such a huge gap and hopefully, we'll see it close in the future.
Regardless! Here are some of the few recs I adore:
🍃 Everything that comes out Xavi's (@buttdumplin) magical fingers! He has such an amazing way of capturing the latine cultural experience in his works! It genuinely makes me feel like I'm there with the boys because of how he writes scenes and locations that are familiar to all of us. Some of my faves however are:
In Dub In Dub is Xavi's first piece and I all but squealed and giggled my way through this fic. Full of the boys talking Spanish, the amazing poly dynamic, and just generally good vibes. I reread this piece constantly.
Sharing Cultural Food - Kyle Focus This one is one of his most recent pieces and it just makes me feel soo many things!!! When I tell you that I've been in this exact same scenario and literally saw myself in this piece? Yeah, it was marvelous.
Meeting the Family - John Price This is not a poly piece BUT I do in fact adore it. Again, I have lived through similar scenarios of introducing friends or coworkers to family and I just, Xavi does a phenomenal job capturing it.
Now, cariño, I know you said you wanted poly recs but let me just throw you a few other pieces that I feel are tailored towards latine/hispanic readers.
🍃 Retirement Party by @sentientcave (Price x Reader)
OKAY! I know this is a controversial take, Charlie might even disagree, but to me Charlie's Dalisay reads very latina/hispanic! It might just be me projecting honestly but the touch of her Nona speaking spanish and highlighting how John spoke accented spanish too??? Yeah idk that scratched my brain just right Dark fic so mind the tags
🍃 All Works by @pricesugarwife (All in Spanish) (Multiple x Reader)
Griss's writing style is amazing! Even me, someone who probably has an eight grade reading level in Spanish, can read her work and appreciate how well written and paced it is. Naturally because it's all in Spanish and Griss is Latina herself, all of her work reads as latina reader to me! Definitely check out her work! Some of my faves are: Fearless - Johnny x Reader Derritiendo los glaciares de su corazón - Simon Riley x Reader
🍃 Gunslinger by @the-californicationist (Price x Reader)
Recommended by @/madstronaut this is a lengthy and completed piece!! I haven't completed this yet but I can tell you based on the first chapter that this is another amazing work provided to us by Cali's amazing mind. I will be putting aside all my Sunday plans to read through this whole thing.
Hope you enjoy these pieces mi amor! If I spot anything else I'll update this list!

My Plan for the Upcoming Twilight TV Show so that it's actually Good
I heard recently that they're doing a Twilight TV show. The rights are out there at the very least. Who knows when it will happen and what network will produce it where, but it's going to happen.
But here's my thing - they're going to do it wrong if they do it the way I think they will, which is anything like the timeline of the Books/Movies. As a hardcore Twilight fan (yes I'll admit it, I spent a long time in fandom as a preteen, okay? It was my first online fandom and the first fanfiction that I wrote) I have Opinions(TM) about how to make the show in a way that would make it interesting. Stephanie Meyer had interesting ideas and I stand by this! There's a lot of untapped potential in the series and I think if they did it right it could be a really, really cool show! But there's not much going on if we just rehash the same events of the books over again at an episodic level.
No.
I present to you, not the TV show "Twilight", but the TV show "Cullens", which starts off with Carlisle Cullen as he has come to America when he finally starts to build his Coven.
This is NOT the story of whiny Bella Swan and her falling in love with Edward and becoming a vampire over 4 books or 5 movies, but rather the story of a man who has already spent over two centuries as a vampire, struggling because of his love for humanity as he finds purpose and meaning as he builds his family. We follow his story as he collects his coven.
We truly open on the show when Carlisle finds Edward dying of Spanish Influenza and decides to turn him for humanity's sake because he would die and because he as a man is lonely and this boy is so young, only 17, and Edward's mother begs him to do whatever he can to save her son and who knows, maybe Carlisle's been watching him and he sees him like a son already too. Maybe we get flashbacks to Carlisle with the Volturi for those 20 years he stayed with them in Italy back in the early 1700s, who knows. The fact of the matter is, that Carlisle is a doctor at the hospital where Edward is, and for whatever reason that we as an audience are compelled to understand in this first and important episode is Carlisle is finally done being alone and craves family and Edward resembles that for whatever reason, so Carlisle gives in and turns him. The next several episodes are an arc about their relationship as we deal with newborn Edward. We know how hard it is to adjust to being newly turned. After he calms down, Edward then has to confront his mortality and that of his family, we see him start to remember his family and confront those memories. More flashbacks to the Volturi as Carlisle explains what being a vampire is to Edward etc.
We follow the pair then as they travel around with the cover story that Edward is Carlisle's nephew. It's three years later when Esme enters the picture. What we know already is she attempted suicide and Carlisle turned her to save her - and that they have history since Carlisle treated her for a broken leg some ten years prior when she was 16 years old. Fast forward to now and she's gone through an abusive marriage where she ran away from her husband several times, most recently after getting pregnant, and has just lost her baby due to a lung fever. At her wit's end with all of it, Carlisle finds her after she jumps off a cliff attempting to end her life. They end up falling in love and getting married after she is turned. That's several episodes I'm sure. GREAT ARC. But Esme struggles with blood lust, which is a great transition into the conversation for what happens just a few years later with Edward...
We can tie more vampire politics into the show (especially the Volturi into it) when Edward goes through his Ripper phase when he decides he doesn't want to drink animal blood like Carlisle teaches him. The two fight but what can Carlisle do? Maybe there are other vamps around as well to cause extra drama. Who knows? It is a TV show, after all. He goes off on his own and that's a whole plot. I'm sure the network could find some interesting ways to make this dramatic for a few episodes and keep enough plot points alive. Add in some new OC's and side characters. Remember the Denali clan? When do they start being formed? There's not a lot of context on them, just that they're close with The Cullen's. Maybe we get some of their story and interaction here. Maybe Sasha (the original leader who was killed by the Volturi for creating an immortal child) reaches out to Carlisle at some point near the beginning and this is when they all become vegetarian vampires together before the whole Denali clan is formed too.
Fast forward to when that arc is resolved. Edward is back with Carlisle and Esme and the peace is back. Now, we get Rosalie... Now, the thing with Carlisle, is he doesn't turn people just to turn people. He's very moralistic. We learn that all the time about his character. I'm sure our little trio has traveled on from Chicago and is in New York where they encounter Rosalie Hale who was assaulted nearly to death by her husband and all his buddies. Carlisle is somewhat of a matchmaker here and hopes Rosalie and Edward can keep each other company for their immortal lives... it makes me wonder what episode and background we can throw into the show here. Did Carlisle know this girl in any other capacity? Why are his dad senses tingling about Rosalie anyway? That's gotta be an arc.
Anyway, turns out Rosalie is not only not interested in Edward, but she's only really interested in staying with the Cullens because being alone forever would get lonely, so she stays with them... but that's after her revenge arc because Rosalie Hale is a certified Bad Ass. She goes after her Fiance and all his Dude Bros and takes them all out, and I can just imagine her executing this flawlessly as a vamp. I do wonder if Edward reads her mind about her plans and asks if he can help her, though. Eventually, she gives in and it's Sibling Bonding(TM) at its finest. It's this bonding that convinces Rosalie to stay with the Cullens after all, and that's that.
Next, we get Emmett. Now, this is a fun one! Because we get Emmett who starts pining over the gorgeous Rosalie Hale when they move to this new place. I'm not sure it says where they are, but I digress. Do we have a bit of the Bella/Edward vibes here? Are there warnings of "don't let the human close"? Is this around the time when we've just had the Denali arc and are reminded of the human child being killed? Is Carlisle having flashbacks? What is the drama? Make it interesting, TV people! Is Edward mad that Rosalie is flirting back? Is it harmless? Who. Knows. -- But then, it doesn't matter because Emmett is getting mauled by a bear in the woods and... wait, why is Rosalie even there? Why does she even find him? Hmmm, seems like she's following him around protectively ;) well- whatever the reason and drama, Emmett is near dead and she saves him and brings him to Carlisle to be turned. The reactions of the coven... the reactions of the town, of his family, of his friends, the drama. Make it interesting, once again, people! This is TV gold! It's cliches and everything you want for TV, c'mon! And then, of course, since they were already practically in love already, they really can be together, but now they have to leave because Emmett is supposedly dead and the Cullens are complicit in that for some reason too perhaps. So they get out of dodge and where do they go now?
If you guessed Forks, Washington, you're right. It's the first time and it's time to get into the legends and deal with The Wolves(TM). It's all about the Quiluetes and it's time to make a treaty with The Pack(TM). Ephraim Black is Jacob's great-grandfather and the leader of the tribe. Whoooa boy. I can think of sooooo much they can do with this,. And just how long do the Cullens stay in Forks the first time around? It's a whole arc. Maybe it's a season. We get some good wolf content. We get some pack dynamics. It's great. We get some beef between Rosalie and the wolves maybe, because there's obvious dislike between her and the wolves later and it's gotta be for a reason more than just their smell, I know it. So, several episodes there. Maybe even some fighting. I know it ends with a treaty, but that's not easily won. Maybe it's Rosalie they found first and one of the wolves attacked her before they were able to make talks for peace. Yeah. I can see this season being really fun.
So, after all that goes down, maybe there's something with the Volturi? Something with the Denali? They do end up staying with the Denali Coven for a time. Maybe they go somewhere else for a little while after they've overstayed their welcome in Forks. Sometime around the 1940s they leave. During the 1950s Jasper and Alice wander upon them and at this point, I fully believe we would get a several-episode arc of Jasper's origin story with the Civil War and the Newborn Army - but they've gotta make it interesting somehow, so there's gotta be a parallel conflict in the timeline that makes it relevant, like I keep saying, make it interesting. Who knows where the Cullens are living right now at this point, but there's crazy everywhere and they're vampires they're practically magnates for danger and chaos. Make something up. Family drama, vampire drama, whatever you need. Where are more of those OCs. And don't forget! We have all the covens and vampires from the battle in Breaking Dawn that we can draw on at ANY point in the show for extra vampires to make any of this interesting as well! Make. It. Make. Sense. How does Carlisle know everyone all the time??? Add spice, add interest, and make the Cullens well-connected in a way that makes sense!
Once we get through Jasper's origin story, we get how he and Alice met, which of course is that Alice saw him in a vision. Alice is such a fun character.
And what do they do in the interim 60 years until Bella? Um, not really sure, but we can find some filler or we can time skip. Not like we haven't been doing that anyway. I also have this vague idea that the whole first few seasons are vaguely a la How I Met Your Mother where they're always telling the story to Bella or Renesmee or someone anyway -- oooh telling the story to Ren would be cute actually... that has potential. Grandpa Cullen telling his granddaughter about how all the family got together. That's adorable, whether you like Renesmee as a character or not. Tell me I'm wrong... Anyway, so then maybe it's like, "So what about mom?" or something and we jump to the actual plot of the Twilight books.
But we don't just get the Twilight books, we get the full in-depth. We get the shifters in La Push full with Emily and Sam and Quil, Embry and Jake, and Paul and all the bois, we get the whole story from Bree Tanner on the side as that develops. We get random check-ins with the Denali clan, because that's relevant! We get Edward's perspective on things as well when he meets Bella and how he runs away to the Denali clan because he's dead lusting for her blood! We get complex feelings and all the arguments about it! We get Rosalie and Edward fighting because isn't she being hypocritical about Bella?
We get the Volturi and more drama from the throne room as they learn about the Cullens and their drama just like we have been following Volturi drama on and off all series long. We know the personalities of Caius and Marcus and their dynamic with Aro. We've already heard the origin story of Jane and Alec and we know how brutal the terror twins are. We get the Volturi women Sulpicia, Athenedora, Chelsea, Heidi, and Renata. Don't even get me started on Demitri and Felix and my headcanon of their epic friendship. So, yeah, Volturi stuff.
All of it comes to a head at the final battle in Breaking Dawn just like we know but with so much more meaning than ever before because of the rich history we have from seasons upon seasons of "The Cullens" or "Cullen" or whatever you end up calling this show. It's amazing, it's beautiful, we've laughed, we've cried, we've become a family over and over again and Carlisle has a family and this is his family and he is happy.
Will they make it like this? Probably freaking not, but this is my one request to the universe. Don't make a "Twilight" TV show. Make a "Cullen" TV show.
Please.

In the Triskelion gym, the sounds of pounding and dumbbells echoed in the air. Steve and Brock were there training.
Steve was going through his morning routine in a disciplined and structured manner.
Brock, on the other hand, preferred a more chaotic and brutal workout.
While Steve was continuing his workout, Brock was lifting dumbbells with a deafening noise, dropping the dumbbells to the floor after each repetition.
"You can't drop the dumbbells like that, Brock," Steve scolded him. "You could damage the equipment or, worse, hurt someone."
Brock let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Are you serious, Rogers? This is a gym, not a library. We come here to train hard, not worry about furniture."
Steve frowned, suspending his training.
"It's not just about the equipment. It's also about respect and discipline."
"Discipline, discipline," Brock repeated with disdain. "Always with your golden boy lecture. Some of us need to release our aggression to be fit for battle."
"Training isn't just about brute strength," Steve replied, stepping closer to Brock.
Brock dropped another weight hard, causing the floor to vibrate, challenging Steve.
"Maybe your way of training works for you, Rogers. But I train my way. And I'm not going to change it because you don't like it."
Overhearing the discussion, some of the agents in the gym stopped to watch them curiously. Natasha was also training on the spot; she quickly rushed over.
"Stop it, you two!" Natasha spat out authoritatively. "We are not here to fight each other. If you continue, I'll have to report you to Fury."
Steve took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Natasha is right. We need to work as a team and avoid fighting each other."
Brock crossed his arms, looking at them defiantly. He hated having to follow Roger's orders; in fact, he felt displaced since Roger had arrived.
"I'm not going to compromise my training."
Natasha took a step forward. "No one is asking you to. But you could try to be a little more considerate. There's a time and place for everything."
After a moment of silence, Brock nodded slowly as Natasha had again threatened to report them, and that meant they would be spending a few weeks doing desk work instead of going on missions. Other than Steve, the other thing he hated was not being able to go on missions.
"Okay. I'll try not to drop the dumbbells." Brock said while rolling his eyes.
He would probably go train when that pair were gone. He shot a hateful look at the other agents, who looked like they were going to laugh and scoff at the situation. When the pair was gone, he would take it upon himself to punish those who belonged to his team to show who was in charge.
Steve approached to shake hands. Brock forced a smile and did so while also thinking of some way to get revenge. As he wasn't going to allow someone to make a fool of him, he simply had to wait until the time was right, and he would make Steve regret what he had done.

Drum roll! I'm finally going to post about my OCs! :D
Now then, I'll start with fandom OCs, and the fandom in question is The Backrooms (Wikidot)
The Backroom gang, that's how I call them, their group doesn't have a name yet, but one day I'm sure the perfect name will appear
Here they are
Tumblr media
We have Amber, Tyler, Fuyuki, Andreas and Lavínia
A group of backroom walkers who fight together to find a way out. They are not part of any larger group, but they have contacts with people from groups like MEG and BNTG.
Let's take a closer look to each of them
Tumblr media
Amber: The leader of the group. Amber is 27 years old, being the oldest of the group, she fell into the backrooms before them all, having 1 year of experience behind her. Before she landed there, she lived in the United States, speaking fluent English, and she also speaks basic Spanish. Amber is constantly fighting alone to find a way out even though it's impossible. But she has a boyfriend and children to take care of outside this hell. She is determined and serious, working in direct directions and almost without breaks, very good in fights, and has her ax as her best friend. Even so, she is a very loving and dedicated mother, always looking for the best for her children (whether biological or not). Her group is very peculiar, with most of its members being children and teenagers, yet it is a group that has become very skilled. She swore on everything that she would protect these children. And that's what she'll do as long as she's alive.
Tyler: The classic American movie bully. But he's neither a bully nor a scoundrel, so he just looks like an American bully. Tyler is 18 years old, being the second oldest. He's a very confident and charismatic guy, easily getting along with people. Even though his appearance conveys courage and bravery, he is actually very fearful, being very afraid of levels and dangers. Always avoiding the front lines, but having a strong sense of protection for his family, helping whenever possible and facing his fears. He has teamed up with Amber and is constantly looking for a way out, the pain of no longer being with his little sister and friends hurts him daily. He's also from the USA and speaks fluent English.
Moving to the younger trio
Tumblr media
Fuyuki: The front line. Fuyuki Watanabe is 17 years old, just a teenager. Before falling into the backrooms, he lived in Japan, and knows Japanese and English fluently. Even with his light clothes and bluish hair, his personality is not at all pleasant. He always has a frown on his face and is rude to others, being armed with people he doesn't know. The only exception to his rude manner are children and people close to him. Even though he's a hard shell to break, when you reaches the center he is just someone confused and stressed about this entire situation, wanting to find a way out of the Backrooms. He's usually careful and concerned about those close to him and is always on hand to protect his family. He has finally found a place where he is accepted, and he will protect them with everything he has.
Andreas: The active little brain of the group. Andreas is just 12 years old, one of the children. Before falling into the backrooms he lived in Germany, knowing how to speak fluent German and a little bit of English. He is a curious and somewhat temperamental boy, having some emotional peaks. Being very passionate about discovering more about the things he likes, thus having a lot of knowledge on specific subjects. He was certainly scared by everything, but he already knew the backrooms before because of stories, knowing the basics so as not to die quickly. He has become an important part of the group due to his knowledge, he also knows how to handle a weapon if he needs to protect himself. Despite everything, Andreas is a lively boy who loves being around his family and sharing his discoveries. He finally has the protection he needed and now he's more ready than ever to discover this world alongside the people he loves.
And finally, Lavínia: The sweet sunshine. Lavínia is the youngest of the group, being just 5 years old. Before falling into the backrooms she lived in Brazil, being very young she only knows Portuguese (which is not fluent either). Lavínia is a sweet and adorable child who loves her friends and family very much, and is always ready to play and talk. She really likes to be tidy, coming from a rich family and having many accessories to choose from. She's far from being a snob, she's just a little girl who likes to play dress up. She is still very scared about the situation she finds herself in, constantly crying in dangerous situations, but she always has her brave friend by her side! A teddy bear named Austin. Her worst problem is lack of communication. No one in the group understands what she says and she doesn't understand anyone, making everything more difficult. But even so, she found a way to communicate, through miming and trying to understand some words. Lavínia is very scared of being ripped away from her normal life, but even though she is in hell she has a family that does everything to keep her safe.
Fun facts!
• Andreas has heterochromia and is autistic. He was also born without part of his right arm (in the drawing it must have been mirrored) so he has been using a prosthesis since he was very young;
• Fuyuki has anxiety and a mild attention deficit disorder. And he is a trans boy (I had posted a drawing about this before);
• Amber was an English teacher before;
• In total, Lavínia wears a gold bracelet with a heart, a star necklace, gold teddy bear earrings and a cat clip in her hair;
• Tyler has a lot of freckles on his face and arms;
• Amber and Tyler met first and formed a duo. Andreas found Lavínia first and then the two of them together found Fuyuki. And finally, the two groups met and became one;
• Order that they fell into the Backrooms: First Amber a year before the others, then Fuyuki, Andreas, Tyler and lastly Lavínia;
• Lavínia was the only one who didn't drop straight to level 0. Her entry level was level 2;
• Their full names: Amber Williams, Tyler Lloyd, Fuyuki Watanabe, Andreas Böhler and Lavínia Castello;
• Both Tyler and Andreas have sisters, with Tyler's sister being younger than him and Andreas's being older than him;
• Andreas has hyperfocus on forests and is primarily focused on foxes;
• And, in case you haven't noticed, they are a found family :)
Important note: I'm based on wikidot backrooms, but I'm also taking the liberty to add a little of my backroom history. And if anyone wants to criticize, remember that Backrooms is a community story. I'm just trying to have fun with my OCs.

Hey could you make a Morpheus x reader story where yn finds out she's pregnant whit his child but she doesn't want the baby so she leaves and dissapears so he makes it his mission to find her..😅ik it's long but it would be an honor!
Tumblr media
At first I was going to decline the question because I haven't done anything written for a fandom since 2014-5 and what I've done as a sandman has been more phrases and loose ideas than anything else, besides that when I read it the first few times I didn't know how or what where to direct the idea but then I said fuck it I'll do it with the OC that I have in mind and its story (I'm more of creating my character with a back story and everything but never taking it to "paper")
So here's a warning 1 (and the most important) I don't speak English I can read and listen to it but I'm not that good at writing it so here I am using google translator for this (if there's something wrong let me know so I can edit it, sometimes the translator It is not so exact and although I check that if it is well written, I may miss some errors)
2. for convenience because I'm not so good at writing (not even in my own language -Spanish-) this will be a headcanon (I think it can be considered like this) but very detailed
so here goes nothing
(ps: I always give my OCs the same name but for the convenience of the sandman community I will refer to the character as her or y/n)
•Everything was going well, she had an boyfriend, they already had a year of relationship (and almost two since she found him in the basement)
•Johanna once jokingly told her that she was going to end up with a hot emo boyfriend who looks like he pouts 24/7 (and it would probably end badly), she definitely wasn't wrong. Luckily having a hot emo boyfriend means tons of hot time.
•Y/n usually alternated the days between The Dreaming and her apartment
•Morpheus was simply attached to her, always seeking her touch, from holding her hand to laying her down and fucking her on one of the library tables, but he was always close to her in his free time, it was as if they were in a honey moon phase (for a whole year)
•But then it started
•Y/n do not tend to get sick (or stay sick for a long time) thanks to their ancestry, she also hates vomiting and basically doing so is the peak of a possible illness.
•One day she began to feel tired, aching all over her body and one morning she woke up quickly from a dream to run to the bathroom
•Out of the corner of his eye she could see Matthew at er window, possibly his abrupt exit from The Dreaming caused Morpheus to send to look how she was
she was in bed all day but she thought they were just seasonal illnesses
•Oh boy, they weren't
•Fortunately the days passed and Y/N was able to recover even feeling nauseated from time to time (convincing herself that it was because she hadn't eaten much because she was sick)
• It wasn't until a week later that his roommate and best friend commented (joking) that it was a good thing she had taken a break from her boyfriend, because if they kept fucking like that she was going to end up pregnant.
•At first Y/N just laughed and let it go, until she remembered that she had been weeks without her period, this definitely freaked her out
•She waited until she was alone in her apartment to go to the pharmacy so she could get a test, a simple piss on a stick, a negative and everything ended, probably she was just thinking to much about it and really was nothing
•Over the years, she'd learned that the universe's favorite game was to contradict her and make things difficult, and this time the universe had given her the big middle finger.
•A bit of a panic attack here, okay? a fucking baby is a big responsibility for 18-20(ish) year olds
•Yep she was definitely screwed
•She could only think of Johanna when she had told at the beginning of her adolescence how she should have to scare the boys (emos and edgys) away from her, or else she would end up "knock up"
•Yeah she was definitely fuck up (and not in a good way)
ok here is the first part, I have several things planned for the morpheus part but I needed to cut it and upload this to know if (I) this had a future or what
ps: I accept suggestions for a title
ps2: you can make requests and I can try to write something, both within the sandman universe with or without my OC

Black Lagoon Anon!
I know everyone has their preferences in watching anime in whatever languages they prefer. So I didn't want you to think I was forcing you.. Black Lagoon is definitely a series I would be adamant when it comes to watching the English version because of the characters. Personally I don't care who the actors are in English - if the actor portrays any of their characters in a way that makes me enjoy them, then I don't care who the actor is. That's just my opinion though. Everyone's different.
Rock is mentioned to be multilingual (when you get to more episodes anyway), so him speaking other languages makes sense. Revy, Benny and some others are American so that would make sense for them to speak English. Dutch might be bilingual. Balalaika's Russian, her men are Russian, so you'll hear them speak in Russian or Russian accents. Same with the Spanish characters. And there's another female Asian character who has an accent too, and also European characters too. So whether they speak in their own languages, or accents, even both for certain characters. That's a very diverse casting for the BL fans to enjoy. So that's definitely one reasons why fans enjoy this series.
I won't say more until you've watched more. I don't want to spoil any possible thing for you. I want you to enjoy the series because we just need more people into the fandom.
Yami gets introduced early in the series. Like.. Fourth episode? I can't remember. But he gets introduced early. And Yami's definitely one of my favorite characters, and my favorite Captain. Black Bulls would be my favorite squads, with Crimson Lions being a very close second for me (the Crimson Lions contains most of the Vermillion family). So if a character, any character, seems "one dimensional" to you in any way - those are the characters who get character development in whatever happens. I won't say who. Because I don't want to say more than that.
I will reveal myself eventually. Just not at this moment. Maybe the 💋 emoji? Most of the symbols I would have used can't be translated on certain devices, and sometimes sites too. So I simplified my symbol.
i finished the first season of black lagoon! just wow, the female cast stands out SO much, all of them takes the spotlight whenever they appear. my favorites are definitely balalaika and revy! balalaika is ruthless but i find her so lovable especially when she interacts with rock and the others, she seems very chill outside of mafia work. i was hoping to delve more into both of their backstories, since i was curious about it. they only showed snippets of it in season 1, i wonder if there'll be any more in s2? 🤔 i'll be a little disappointed if that's all we're getting
i'm a few episodes into black clover too! i've currently stopped at episode 3 to finish black lagoon. my first thought was: asta's yelling is a little too much for me 😭 he is such a good boy but my gosh 😭😭 i did hear it gets better so i'll keep going because the plot itself is also interesting!! there are so many characters that will be revealed soon too so i'm excited for that!!

Thanks for the tag! I love this, I will absolutely yap about my fics :)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I've got 5 right now! But a crap ton of ideas scribbled down in the back of my mind that I need to find the motivation to work on...
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
90,695 :) But a bit longer with unfinished stuff I have written down.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
RIght now, just The Umbrella Academy and The Owl House! I'd love to explore more fandoms at some point, though. We'll see if the mood ever strikes me.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Well, the fun bit is that I only have five. So let's rank these bad boys!
1. The Quest for the Keys of Death 2. Witches in Wonderland 3. Melodies of Caged Bird 4. The Owl Fluff 5. I Don't Know Why I Bite
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do my very best to! It can be hard for me to remember to/find the energy to reply to things, whether it be comments or asks or whatever. But I seriously love and cherish any comments left on my works, and I'm mentally giving you the biggest hug. :)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Ooo. Well. I've technically only finished one, lol. But... Melodies of a Caged Bird will have the angstiest ending. The Quest for the Keys of Death will be the angstiest over all, but there will be a happy ending. :)
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Again, I've only finished one (and the ending is bittersweet on that one) but The Quest for the Keys of Death will have the happiest ending.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten a comment that was a little patronizing, disagreeing with a headcanon of mine, but it wasn't necessarily hateful. It was a bit of a bummer, though.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I don't. I've never written smut before, and it's not exactly my writing forte. Kudos to those who do, though!
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I'm actually not a big crossover fan, which is funny considering my biggest/most popular fic is a crossover. It's not that crazy, but it's an Owl House and Percy Jackson crossover!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of; I don't think my fics are popular enough for that, haha!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope, but that would be cool to do at some point!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven't, but that would be so fun to do at some point! Any of my Umbrella Academy or Owl House moots, feel free to hit me up if you ever wanna try co-writing a fic!
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Prooobably Huntlow! It's the ship I've gotten the most into/excited about. I'm not a huge shipper, I blame my aro/ace tendencies, but I love Hunter and Willow's dynamic. :)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Probably Witches in Wonderland. I feel bad leaving it unfinished, but I lost all motivation and creativity for it. Besides, I've read too many fics with a similar concept now, and I'm too scared that I'll accidentally steal elements from someone else's writing.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Well, shit. I honestly don't know. I've been told I have very good descriptions and imagery, and I'd agree with that! I've also been told that I'm good at characterization, but I'm less sure on that one.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Dialogue can really screw with me. I don't know if I'm bad at it, per se, but it stresses me out the most and I have the hardest time with it. Besides that, commitment. I have a hard time sticking with my writing and finding the motivation to finish my projects.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've tried that a little bit with The Quest for the Keys of Death, and having some of Luz's exclamations in Spanish! I'm not a Spanish speaker, though, so I shy away from using too much. I need to bully my American ass into learning more languages, haha! I'd feel a bit more confident using it, then.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Hunger Games, actually! That fic was published on Quotev and has since been deleted, but it's what got me past that initial hurdle of being scared to write fanfiction. It was an interesting concept that I should return to at some point... hmmm...
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Well, the brainrot says I Don't Know Why I Bite, but I think I'm just proud that I finished something. Other than that, The Quest for the Keys of Death. It's a huge labor of love, and once I have the motivation, I can't wait to return to it. :)
Calling on my fellow writers! @childlikegoblinqueen @unniebeans @slightecho
This is making me realize I need TUA writer mutuals... If any TUA fic writers see this, feel free to hit me up. I need someone to talk about my works with (and I'd love to listen to you talk about yours ^.^)
Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you for the tag @sneakyfox55! I don't normally do tag games, but this one looks really fun. (What author doesn't want the chance to ramble about their writing?) (This one is also copy/paste, so I'm less worried about clogging up people's dashes)
I'm going to put it under a cut since this is pretty long!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
As of now? 9! (But I have more than 35 fics in progress in my drafts that aren't posted.)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
129,647! But like, triple that (or more) if you want to count unposted stuff.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Undertale!
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. Heart on the Table
2. How to Defeat a Human in 6 Easy Steps
3. faux pas
4. How to Comfort a Panicking Child
5. How to Help a Human in 2 Easy Steps
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes!!! I love responding!!! I'm behind horribly right now because of my work's busy season, but I plan to catch back up! It's so fun to get to talk to people about the things I've poured my heart and soul into, you know? And I'm always glad to get to thank the people that took the time to leave a comment! It's a bit hard to keep up sometimes, though.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
"Is it Home Without You?" definitely. I'm still really proud of that fic, and it's part of a series with a happy ending, but the actual oneshot is the immediate aftermath of Gaster's lab accident from Sans's PoV. So, uh. Dead dad that no one but you remembers (not even your little brother) is pretty angsty. It's a step away from the norm for me, since normally I only write things with happy endings. But since this is part of a series that has a happy ending, I suppose my brain allowed me to end it off on a bittersweet (sad and angsty) note.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
This is really hard to say! I like big, happy endings, so most of my stuff gets them! Probably.... Hmmm. Either faux paus or How to Defeat a Human in 6 Easy Steps
8. Do you get hate on fics?
For the most part? No. (And I will always be grateful for the kind people that have picked me back up after I've been shot down in the past.)
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
None you'll ever find under this username! I try to keep it family friendly here. ...Welllll, depending on if you count fics that tackle trauma and child murder in them family friendly.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I haven't written any cross fandom crossovers! ...I have, however, been guilty of writing cross fic crossovers (none posted). I like to make my characters from different fics interact with each other. I've also done some crossovers for fun with my friends, making our characters interact. All still Undertale fandom, though! The craziest one is probably "How to Adopt an Interdimensional Traveler" which may be posted at some point. It's a crossover between Heart on the Table, and my How To: series. What, you're telling me Papyrus has TWO children to deal with now? (Here, have the first little bit of that because I love it. And I love Papyrus.)
Step One: Find out their name “FRISK!” Papyrus’s voice was not a shriek. No. He was perfectly composed as he stared down at the… little Frisk in front of him.  The very little Frisk. There was a familiar thumping behind him as… his Frisk crashed down the stairs in their familiar clumsy way. For all the elegance they displayed in battle, that did not tend to follow them home. He partially whirled around to face them, keeping… mini Frisk in his sight at the same time.  “What’s up, Dad?” Mini Frisk made a small noise that may have been confusion as they rapidly looked between him and their larger counterpart. “…Dad?” Oh.  Hm.  Yes.  That was. A thing. Apparently Papyrus had two children now. 
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know! And I sure hope not!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope! That would be cool as heck, though!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
None that are posted! But I like to write with my friends, sometimes.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Surprisingly! Not Undertale! (Though I do like Alphyne!) Zukka! (Zuko x Sokka, Avatar the Last Airbender) I've loved that ship for years, and even though I'm not really in the AtLA fandom anymore, it still has a very close place in my heart.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Hmmmm. Again, nothing posted. I don't post fics unless they have a first draft completely written to prevent that kind of thing. (Though, I do rewrite stuff, and that can cause pretty big posting delays. But if for some reason I can't find the motivation to finish my rewrites, I could always just slap my first draft up so that it's not completely unfinished before I'd abandon it completely.) Of my fics not posted, though? I've got a fic called "Ghost of You" which is a fated soulmate dusttale!papyrusXreader fic. I hope I can finish it one day, but... well. I'm not sure if I will or not.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Characterization, and internal dialogue, I think! I like to think I'm pretty good at writing a character in such a way that even if you pick just a sentence at random, you know who's head you're in. Or, perhaps my strength is hurt/comfort in general...
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
It used to be dialogue, though I'm working to get better at that! I also struggle sometimes when it comes to making sure that the pace is engaging and that we aren't just stuck in someone's internal thoughts for 5 paragraphs. Gotta break that up with some stuff actually happening!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Very cool, and a great way to show characters that speak other languages than the one you are in the PoV of!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Well... the fic itself is long gone, but! I wrote for Ouran Highschool Host Club when I was like 12.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE! HOW COULD YOU ASK ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY CHILDREN? MY BABIES! ...Heart on the Table has a special place in my heart though.
No pressure tags (only if you want! this is just for fun!): @lizavet @timeofjuly @humankk and anyone that wants to!
Also... Shall I dare? invoke the potential wrath of a god(ess)?
I dare. I'm curious about the answers (if the goddess does deign to answer this mortal/jk) @llamagoddessofficial (please feel free to just ignore if you want!)

Basically, Passerine is the most popular fanfic on Ao3 under Dream SMP Fandom. It has 2738783 hits and 78457 kudos as of right now. It's only 7 chapters long, but has a word count of 76,375, so it's basically a long road of pain and misery. The story is detached from Dream SMP entirely, the only things tying this story to the fandom are characters and headcanons about them. The author took one of the most prominent and beloved groups from Dream SMP fandom called SBI - Sleepy Bois Inc, which consists of Wilbur Soot, Technoblade, Philza Minecraft and Tommyinnit, as the main characters. The headcanons which were used as the base for this story are that Philza is a ruler of Antarctic Empire, he and Technoblade are immortals and they closely know each other, and Phil has two sons - Wilbur and Tommy, who are decidedly not immortal...
It's been a little while since I read it, but I can say that this story revolves around found family and a lot of tragedy. It's honestly a wild ride and I loved every second of it. The ending left all the readers absolutely floored. It's a fanfic which reached outside of it's fandom with just how brilliant it is. You can read it while not being in the fandom and still understand everything abd feel for the characters. If you ever find yourself looking for something to read, I definitely recommend it.
This fanfic even reached a lot of content creators on Dream SMP, and they read it and complimented how great it is. There is also a TON of fanart for it along with the biggest number of animatics, I've ever seen for a fanfiction. That also includes an entire animatic from the most famous artist in Dream Smp community - SAD-ist.
(I also apologize for any mistakes in grammar and punctuation because I'm not native English speaker, and I also tend to make a lot of mistakes when a happy-ramble about something I'm passionate about)
Some of these writers should just write an original book, I swear haha. I don't know if I'll check it out, but maybe someone here wants to! It does sound like tropes people here go wild for :}
Also I love English non-native speakers because you guys tend to use perfect grammar and punctuation and then I can't make half sense of what native speakers type sometimes.
Never mind what my Japanese or Spanish typing looks like lmao I think I resorted once to saying "the honey bug" for bee when talking to someone.

I read your analysis on Inukoko and Takemikey and I think they are very good! You make a lot of valid points that I haven't seen and you have a good understanding of Japanese culture to take it into account. That said, what are your thoughts on other characters that the fandom attributes to being LGBT? (example. Hakkai, Ran Haitani and Hina as trans) Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm from Brazil and I used a translator for the question. =)
WAHH THANKSSSS I try to be fair with things and keep a good separation between my canon-only perspective with language + cultural data I happen to know, and my personal interpretations and self-indulgence!! I'M VERY HAPPY WITH YOUR COMMENT HONESTLY AAAAAA
And well, WELL.
You guys know how it is with me, nothing's canon until it's bulletproof, no-ambiguity canon. But it's also true that Tokyo Revengers, in general, is pretty queer. 
For one, when it comes to Hakkai…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Fun fact about the last img: many translations online are missing that dialogue, having it cleaned out and possibly forgotten to typeset it in later? Anyway, it translates to "[Mitsuya, about Mikey] Feels kinda lonely when he's up ahead by himself." / "[Hakkai] But you've got me, Taka-chan?")
This sure reads like a crush, anyways. It's mostly out there as comic relief, but the admiration this guy's constantly showing for Mitsuya's coolness and specifically his physical attractiveness and everything, welp, that just about places him in the LGBT somethingsomething bag to me. Maybe it won't get anywhere - it probably won't, cause again, comic relief element - but it's there, his silly little crush on Mitsuya or whatever we should call it. 
I'm cool with that! I enjoy and appreciate that Wakui comfortably includes interactions like this in his work. Y'know, along with everything else. With Koko, with Inui, with everything.
Tumblr media
Like Chifuyu's feelings for Baji. That's another instance where I'm like "HMM. WELL HOW ABOUT THIS." 'cause, on one hand, the shounen genre sure loves its trope of "my dude, our bond is so deep I will die for you and live for you and I'm not naming what this means except that I'll call you my most important person in this life forever", but on the other hand, their flashback chapter is titled 'man crush' and… 12 years, Chifuyu? The rest of your life, Chifuyu? For his memory alone? Okay okay okay.
Personally, I find other characters to be very much up in the air. Too up in the air to call them canonly queer or canon-adjacently queer, though I do support most of those interpretations.
Ran? I love love LOVE a tall, evil, strong and effeminate bastard. Maybe he just happens to be straight and metrosexual and limp-wristed (I say this lovingly, admiringly), but that sure would be less entertaining than what I've decided in my head. Hanma? Even if you asked me, I wouldn't be able to say what he is, exactly, but if "queer" isn't part of it I'd eat my entire fist. Draken? My bisexual icon and also my beautiful wife. Don't get me started on all the other dudes with crushes on Mikey, we'll be here all night. 
But all that is just my view, lmao.
I will say, though, the interpretation of Hina being trans is one thing I respect - as always - but I don't partake in. I don't think an "if I were a boy, I'd do _" moment is anything but conversation, specially in the context of a culture where being a girl or a boy does condition and limit your experiences a fuckton. I'm not saying she can't be trans, of course. I'm saying that her talking about how she'd kick more butt than Michi if she were a boy (because she doesn't see herself doing that as a girl) doesn't necessarily mean that. Can be, everything is fair game in fandom, just not necessarily.
Anyway, really fun question to answer, thank you!!
And PS: don't worry about your english with me ever!! It's not my first language either, I speak spanish, we're all doing our best DHFDH.

Whumptober day 14: Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to Become a Villian
Fandom: Encanto
Prompts;
Desperate measures
Failed escape
"I'll be right behind you"
Encanto, by a non spanish speaker, who wants some angst... we'll try it.
Mirabel watches her family celebrate, take a picture to commemorate the occasion, while she stands on the sides, forgotten and ignored. It doesnt matter, shes only in like one photo anyway, and Antonio looks happy. Thats all that matters, she doesnt m...
She leaves the room, finds herself on one of the balconies, with only Casita as company. She stares out into the mostly empty town, wishing on nothing to be special like her family, to be considered family at all even.
The railing beneath her arms cracks, the wood snapping into her arm and drawing a thin line there, she flinches backwards, staring with wide eyes before another noise catches her attention. The crack goes all through town, and the mountains guarding their villiage, are split.
Shes racing inside as fast as she can.
"Dolores, please if you can hear me you must have heard that! The mountains, they've cracked!"
She does not go in yelling, she knows she cant cause a panic yet, there are children here after all, and elderly. She needs to talk to her Abuela without scaring anyone. Dolores thankfully, has pulled her aside and they look up at her approach.
"I saw it," she whispers, as the three smile and make their way out of the room. "It goes through town, all the way to the mountains. Casitas railing too..."
Its all there when they arrive at the balcony, and Mirabel is thankful shes not going crazy yet. Abuela takes it in with horror filled eyes, Dolores looking almost numb behind her.
"We... must warn the people. Our Encanto has been broken... its only a matter of time."
"But why is this happening Abuela?" Dolores' voice is soft, her eyes drawn to the candle in the window.
"I do not know. But we will keep the miracle strong, we will protect our people. Get the others, I will address the town." Abuela hasnt looked at Mirabel once, but shes not surprised.
They watch her walk off, and Dolores finally shows fear in her eyes.
"The miracle is dying, if the Encanto is breaking." She says simply.
Mirabel is hesitant as she places a hand softly on her cousins arm,
"The miracle is in you all, have faith in the family Prima, and we'll make it through this."
The eye contact after is intense for someone who is used to being avoided. But Dolores puts a hand on Mirabels shoulder and squeezes,
"Help me get everyone?" She asks, and it has to be the first time someones asked for her help in... forever.
"Of course."
...
The town is on fire.
People are screaming and the town is on fire.
The candle flickers, a hand covers the flame- glowing and see through- Abuelo stands there, watching with worried eyes that jump to meet your own.
'Save them.' He mouths the words but they seem to echo around you.
Everything flickers, then burns, you burn-
Mirabel wakes with a gasp and coughs as smoke fills her lungs. Its a thin layer, coming in from the open window, she rushes over to find the forest near the cracked mountains burning.
"Casita! I know your hurting, but please wake everyone up! We have to get the town to safety, now!"
The windows shutters and tiles flap and Mirabel gets the basic message, the adults arent here.
"Miercoles..." she mutters, throwing on her closes and slinging the small pack shed done up after Antonios birthday a few days ago over her shoulder.
Shes banging on doors as she passes them, rushing into Antonios and slinging his pack over her other shoulder.
"Antonio, Parce! Its time to go!"
The jaguar leaps from somewhere in the trees, a groggy five year old on his back. The other animals had already left, Parce refusing, he would come in handy though, getting Antonio to safety quickly.
"Mira... rats say theres an Tio in the walls." The boy mumbles, "you'll save him too right?"
She doesnt quite know what that means, a rat Tio? Or... a random Tio? Is this Tio alive?
"I'm sure the other rats got him out already Tonito."
"Notta rat... Bruno." The boys a little more awake now, "Tio Bruno. You'll save him too right Mira?"
Tio Bruno... was in the walls...
"Alright Tonito, I'll get Tio Bruno."
"I'll come too." He rubs at his eyes, alert now it seems.
"No, you need to go with the others. I'll be right behind you." She places his bag in his arms and looks to Parce, "Get him to safety."
The leapord almost seems to nod, before taking off. Mira looks to Casita's cieling,
"Is there a man living in your walls?"
The house is almost bashful as the tiles seem to nod and point towards a painting. Of course, the only being that seemed to like her, and the Casita still hid something like this from her. She sighs before making her way over,
"Alright, help everyone else. I'll get the forbidden Tio."
...
They had told the town at the party. Everyone had gone home to pack their essentials and be prepared for a long hike over the opposite mountains. It was hard to convince everyone, so many that didnt want to run again, so many that felt they couldnt. But they had to try. They would not be slaughtered, not willingly.
Mirabel hadnt been part of the planning much, but then, none of the kids really had. Even Isabella and Luisa were mostly out of the loop, only Dolores able to give updates when they sat in Casita while the adults were in town. It was the most time she'd spent with her sisters and cousins in a very long time.
Mirabel may not feel like shes part of the family anymore, and that it took a disaster to bring them together- even just a little- but she wishes with all her heart, that they all make it out of this.
Even if she practically has to force her Tio into Dolores' waiting arms. The man had given a ramble of why he had to stay in the walls before he would listen to Mirabels explanation of "the town is on fire get out." She didnt know what prophecy he was talking about, or why he was sorry to her, but she could assume somehow, this had to be her fault. Because it always was right?
"Hurry after the others! I gotta get one more thing!" She tells her Prima, who gives a skeptical look, but at the cracking of the walls nods and hurries off.
It stings a little, how quickly she left her alone, but it didnt matter. She wanted them to be safe anyway. They were the miracle, with or without their gifts, and they needed to survive.
The house shakes again, cracking and breaking as fire dances outside the window.
"Casita, get me to the candle, please."
She hadnt really paid attention to it before, had kinda assumed it was her loneliness, but every piece that falls beneath her hands as she climbs her way to the window, almost feels like a hand. Her dream comes back to her and she glances at Abuelos picture, wonders if the dream was a warning from him, from... Casita.
She should have known really. A miracle born of the sacrifice Abuelo made, his love for his family... the Casita falls apart around her as it- no he- works to lift her to the candle. She doesnt know why the miracle is dying, if its her fault or the invaders or... she has the candle in her grasp, hears shouts from outside the house, Casita falls, and she with it, she shields the candle as her world comes crashing down.
...
Julieta is pulled away from the rubble, the invaders burning the town below as the people run. They dont have time to look for her daughter, her baby, the only one still inside according to Dolores, trying to save that damn candle. Because she was told it was important, apparently more important than her life. The Casita had pushed Dolores out when shed come back for Mirabel, had watched helplessly as the building crumbled on top of the 15 year old.
She pleads with Julieta, that she didnt know Mirabel was getting the candle. That she just wanted to get Tio Bruno out, then she was coming right back for Mirabel. And it was another relevation, that Mirabel had gotten everyone out, including the brother she thought long gone, and stayed for that damn candle. She holds her niece close as they make their way up the mountain.
...
Its dark, dusty.
She thinks there may be pain, but everything seems so far away.
A light, a hand brushing the hair from her face,
"Save them"
Warmth bursts within her, it does not bring joy, but a raging inferno as anger bursts inside of her, its all she can feel, all she cwn process. Anger at the rubble around her, anger at the ones who dared invade their encanto, anger and everything and nothing and suddenly words are too much and all she knows is the fire burning inside and out.
...
Their powers had flickered, too much and not enough and then seemed to vanish completely with the fall of the house. In the choas it didnt much matter- or rather they couldnt pause to think about it- but now surrounded and split off from the other villagers, with no powers to support them and the grief of loss deep seated, it hangs on their shoulders heavily.
Felix and Agustin shield the others as best they can, Bruno a barrier infront of the children as best he can be, Julieta and Pepa at either of his shoulders and Abuela trying to talk the invaders down. The hopelessness of the situation is palpable, the desperation in Abuelas voice as she begs for the children to be freed.
It seems to happen in slow motion, as flames burst higher, debri flying high into the early morning sky, as the ruins of their Casita explode in a fiery haze. The shade of these flames are lighter than those around it, at its center something moves that they cant quite see, but flames are quick to feed off the invaders still in the village. The men surrounding them shift uneasily, attention split between the Madrigals and the destruction below.
Its a surprise to everyone when the strange fire seems to jump, making its way quickly towards their position, and leaving only the faintest scorches behind. Burning nothing but invaders.
As it draws closer they see a glowing figure within the flame, golden and with intricate- familiar- designs swirling across their body. Familair curls seem to float with the flickering fire, and light shines off emerald frames.
Mirabel is within the fire once isolated on a wick, surrounded by the silhouette of a man long dead but honored.
Stood in shock perhaps, the men are quickly burnt to dust, though not a lick of the flame touches the Madrigals. Bruno is gaping at his niece, a vision long kept silent at the forefront of his mind, one that now made sense. Just as she could save them, they would need to save her before they all lost.
The invaders are smoking piles of ash, the people of the Encanto hidden as far as they could get. The fire around Mirabel does not go out, but it does shrink, the fires in the town already dwindling out. She stands amongst unbothered trees, a few feet from the gathered Madrigals, unmoving. They can barely tell if she even breaths, but they can now see numerous injuries littering her dusty body.
Julieta has tears streaming down her face, and Bruno hesitantly touches her shoulder,
"Shes alive Jules, she saved us, now we have to save her." Maybe the family will finally realize, the real gift isnt power, its eachother.

Six of Crows re-read
(i also did this for the shadow and bone trilogy so read that if you want to)
spoiler alert obiously
i'm SO EXCITED FOR THIS this is my comfort book (with crooked kingdom of course)
JOOST HI
oo fun fact this was my first grishaverse book and i read it with no context whatsoever except that the mc is an emo boy and morally grey
so IMAGINE my pure confusion when JOOST appeared
i was like ?????? weird take on morally grey character but ok
joost trying to figure out how to flirt with a girl is a mood
anyone wanna teach us how to???
i kinda wanna skip this part so i can see the crows..
but i won't don't worry
(won't I?
"I think Yuri may be quarantined"
aaaand?
so are we you are not special
i feel like it's very important for me to mention that i read this book in spanish first
and then i got into the fandom and i was like who the fuck is the wraith? i only know El Espectro
Heartender who??? ooo you mean Cardio
Tidemakers? nope, i only know Maremotores
for real i was so confused i had to re-read it in english (not that i mind tho)
Tumblr media
say whatever you want about the spanish version but we have to agree that this design is pretty af
another one yay: "Retvenko was a Squaller" vs. "Retvenk era un Impulsor"
(should i also say that in my pfd english version the book is 294 pages long and in my pdf spanish version its 532????) (i think it's because in the english one the speces are way less like the lines are so close together wtf
i've decided that i'm bored so i'll be skiping this chapter
anya is super badass tho
skdgfalsdgfliaysvfascvhjl yesssssss inej
Kaz Brekker didn't need a reason.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
KAZ
INEJ
I MISSED THEM
omg now i can picture amita and freddy SDJGKASKGLASG THIS IS AMAZING
we interrupt our regularly scheduled program to watch the shadow and bone trailer once again to hear freddy's beautiful voice
ok moving on!
now hear me out i'm giving you all permission to make fun of kaz for this one: Dirtyhands = Manos Sucias
hello i am Kaz Manos Sucias. nice to meet you!
AAAAA
AAAAAAAAAA
JESPER FAHEY
JESPER LOVE HI
SJDGHFKAHSGDLAJSDFSJ,AHFLHDSGF
I MISSED HIM OMG
OMG NOW I CAN PICTURE HIM AS KIT
can you tell jesper is one of my favourite characters?
i really love the fact that kaz is pissed about the murder of that ambassador ONLY because he can´t figure out how it happen
he´s such a nerd
i can't believe one of the firts things we hear jesper say is threathen to kill someone by writing "forgive me" with bullets
AND HE CALLS HIS GUNS "BABIES" OMG
picture saying hi baby and wylan thinkin he's talking to him but actually jesper's talking to one of his guns
Jesper rolled his eyes. "It's about sending a message. What's the point of a dead guy with forg written on his chest?."
"Compromise," Kaz said. "I'm sorry does the trick and uses fewer bullets."
ooo thank god we have kaz to come up with creative solutions /j /s
honestly i love how they talk about kaz's cane like it's the scariest weapon ever (which it kind of is)
nothing will ever disappoint me more than finding out that in english their gang name is "the Dregs". like i don't even know for sure what that means
in spanish is "Los Indeseables" (the undesirables?) which sounds a lot more badass
no hate tho i like the dregs
but i was confused af bc i expected it to be sometihng like "the undesirables" or"the unwanted" or whatever
and it said "the dregs"
which in the translator means something like shit or something
anways moving on:
If he'd (kaz) ever been a little boy
i love how lowkey all the crows think he was just born exactly like he is now
imagine a baby kaz all dressed in black and threatening people
cute
"No mourners," Jesper said as he tossed his rifle to Rotty
"No funerals," the rest of the Dregs murmured in reply. Among them, it passed for "good luck".
YES
YESSS
i wonder what wylan's doing right now :))
i can't wait for the next book where he has a pov
the first time i read this book i literally looked at the title of every chapter to see if he ever got one (i was disappointed to say the least :((((
Besides, she was the Wraith - the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too.
ma'am
marry me please
i'm gonna cry so hard once the show is out and we get to see inej omg
me simp
That Kaz had chosen Jesper to be one of his seconds was no surprise. Twitchy as Jepser was, with or without his revolvers, he was at his best in a fight, and she knew he'd do anything for Kaz.
idk why but i just love it every time kaz implies or shows that he cares or trusts jesper
it makes me soft
But every one of Inej's senses told her that was not how this was going to play out. Her father would have said the shadows were about their business tonight. Something bad was going to happen here.
underrated saying from Inej's father right there
"I'm a business man," he told her."No more, no less"
"You're a thief, Kaz."
"Isn't that what I just said?"
i-
i see no lies here
not to be annoying but i hc jesper as adhd (i mean is pretty much as canon as wylan's dyslexia) so i'm gonna write here every time i see evidence :)
jesper with adhd part 1: impulsivity
Jesper snorted. "Stomach, spine. What's next, spleen?"
"Shut it" Oomen snarled. The rules of parley dictated that only the lieutenants could speak once negotiations had begun. Jesper mouthed "sorry" and elaboratedly pantomimed locking his lips shut.
he know he couldn't speak but couldn't stop himself from making a comment (i relate way too much to that lmao)
hoestly poor jesper he had to watch hid friend get shot and kaz do nothing about it
i would've been mad too
"I like it when men beg," she said. "But this isn't the time for it"
KAHGFAHLGSFGASFLGSAFS
this is one of the best quotes in the book by far
YASSS KAZ POV
Kaz could have tol Jesper that he knew he wasn't dirty, reminded him that he'd trusted him eough to make him his only real second in a fight that could have gone badly wrong tonight.
cute
but kaz is petty af
he didn't even have a reason not to tell jesper that!
i love that kaz knows inej is following him but doesn't say anything because he wants to wait until she's ready
i LOVE the scene where kaz in in the van eck mantion /srs
idk why but it's so good
And, of course, there was the mystery of Van Eck's son.
wonder what that could be!!! /s
He grinned at her (...)
"Hmm." she said noncommittally, pretending to examine one of her knives, determined to ignore that grin.
KANEJ YESS
HE'S BASICALLY SHOWERING IN FRONT OF HER OMG
this is so funny poor inej is getting flustered
"And I'll need Wylan waiting at the Crow Club tomorrow night."
YES WYLAN OMG
One minute he made her blush and the next he made her want to commit murder
happens to the best of us :/
"Please, my darling Inej. treasure of my heart won't you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?"
if kaz doesn't say this on the show we riot
agreed?
it's so amazing how nina found a way to use her powers to get money instead of having to like steal and murder like the rest in the gang
NINA'S POV YESSS HIII
nina and inej omg
their friendship is just perfect
POOR MATTHIAS HE HAS TO FIGHT THE WOLVES
i would straight up cry
Matthias was dreaming again. Dreaming of her
i'm gonna cry damn it
this is the enemies-to-lovers we all needed
jesper has adhd part 2:
"Jesper was supposed to wait until three bells." said the pale boy
"It is three bells, Kaz." replied a small girl (...)
"Since when is Jesper punctual?" the boy complained with a glance at his watch
the time blindness come one
(btw i love the fact that kaz plans around jesper's time blindness instead of like threatening him to be on time)
i really love how every one feels the need to take the time to say/think that the masks are ugly
its so unnecessary lmao
yessss inej is a badass that kills monster we stan
and matthias is lowkey impressed lmao
as he should
"Thank you, Jesper," said Nina
"You're very welcome, gorgeous. See, Kaz? That's how the civilised folk do"
THESE TWO OMG
JESPER IS THE LOML
INEJ OMG LOOK:
She stepped aside as if she's known he was coming, languidly hooking her heel behind his ankle. Matthias let out a loud grunt as he landed on the stones
(...) "Clumsy, this one," the bronze girl said impassively.
i-
that's what happen when you underestimate her bitch
AAAAAAA
PEOPLE
PEOPLE
TIME TO FREAK OUT
WYLAN IS HERE
AND HE'S DOODLING STOP IT'S SO CUTE
ok jesper has adhd part 3 i think:
"Just how crazy is he?" asked Jesper, fingers drumming on the pearl handles of his revolvers.
ok first of all: stimming
second of all: hyperactivity
i rest my case
ok 2 or 3 things here
"I believe you know Nina," Brekker continued. "The lovely girl freeing you is Inej. (...) and this is Wylan, the best demolitions expert in the Barrel"
"Raske is better," Inej said
The boy looked up, ruddy gold hair flopping in his eyes, and spoke for the first time. "He's not better. He's reckless"
"He knows his trade"
"So do I"
ok 1: kaz calling inej lovely omg kanej
2: YES WYLAN STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF
2.5: kaz calling him the best cute af
3: honestly why do people think wylan is like an innocent soft boy or whatever. he's in a room full of murderers and thieves and the first thing he does is correct them and stand up for himself
like i wish i could do that
i would be crying like a bitch
AAAAAAAA
"Meet Wylan Van Eck"
KHDSGFALSGFIASGFAL
HI WYLAN BABY
YESSS JESPER'S POV NOW
I'M SO HAPPY also look at this it's the first thing in his pov
Jesper stared at Wylan
do i sense some wesper?????
ok everyone is being so mean to him right now
they are aclling him useless and an idiot and other shit
poor boy honestly he had to deal with this + taking part of a heist he is definetly not ready for + he has to hide the fact that he can't write or read
it so distrubing that kaz is literally the nicest one to wylan right now
"See that? Hidden depths." (...)"He's good enough at demo, and he's got a fine hand for sketching, thanks to all those pricey tutors."
(...)
"There you have it," Kaz said to Jesper. "Marketable skills. Wylan is watching you, Helvar"
GET READY
ARE Y'ALL READY?
OK THEN:
"Scheming face," Jesper whispered to Inej.
She nodded. "Definetly."
THEIR FRIENDSHIP OMG
AND THIS QUOTE
I NEED IT ON THE SHOW THEY BETTER GIVE IT TO US
"Who's Mark" damn wylan (but pretty good comeback to jesper tho)
"What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?
"Knife to the throat?" asked Inej.
"Gun to the back?" said Jesper.
"Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina.
"You're all horrible," said Matthias.
tag yourself i'm jesper
KJSFGAL kaz just told wylan to tell him everything he know about his dad's company
and he said he doesn't know and kaz was like "and you never looked trough his documents????
AND THEN HE GOT SAD AND SAID HE HADN'T (and kaz believed him this is sad)
AND NOW JESPER CALLED HIIM USELESS
ok you know i love you jes but if you keep this up
idk i can't do anything you're a sharpshooter
but stiiiiiil
LMAO MATTHIAS ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE COULD BEAT KAZ
nice try
demjin
*insert spongebob voice* demjin
WE'RE GONNA TAKE A MOMENT NOW TO APPRECIATE INEJ GAHFA
BECAUSE KAZ DOESN'T
The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.
*ugly crying*
Many boys will bring you flowers. But some day you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.
*uglier crying*
TANTE HELLEN IF YOU DON'T GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
SOMEONE PLEASE STAB HER FOR ME
jesper has adhd part ?? (i have dyscalculia you can't expect me to remember the number):
That sound - the swift, shocking report of gunfire - called the scattered, irascible, permanently seeking part of his mind into focus like nothing else.
do i really need to explain this?
ok just in case.. an adhd brain doesn't actually have a deficit of attention(the name just sucks) it's problem with controling that attention. the brain is always looking for new sources of dopamine which is why it shifts its focus so much
i love that jes thinks of matthias as "tha giant"
like sir
have you seen yourself?
you're tall af
HE GOT SHOT
WHY DID I FORGET JESPER GETS SHOT IN THE LEG HERE
"Close your eyes!"
"You can't kiss me from down there, Wylan"
"Just do it!"
i love the energy BUT NOW IT'S NOT THE TIME JES
YESS WYLAN SHOW THEM THEY WERE WRONG CALLING YOU USELESS
inej just stabed some guy int the d
good for her!
KAZ YESSSS HI
AWWW SHE'S WORRIED HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS CANE
KANEJ FOR LIFE
oh no wylan got shot too???? (just barely but stilllll por baby)
my Wraith omggg
ok 3 things about this:
Without another word, he tipped Oomen into the sea.
"No!" Wylan shouted, leaning over the railing, his face pale, stunned eyes tracking Oomen in the waves. (...)
Jesper set his hand on Wylan's shoulder. "Let it go."
"It's not right-"
"Wylan," Jesper said, giving him a little shake."Maybe your tutors didn't cover this lesson, but you do not argue with a man covered in blook and a knife up his sleeve"
1. wesper yasssss
2. wylan just argued with a mant hat had just tacken the eye out of someone. he literally called him out for being an asshole. like damn wylan is brave af i love him
3. do you think seeing kaz trow the guy out of the boat reminded wylan of when the same thing happened to him???? this makes me sad
he's brave and a good person and i just-
"Man with a knife, remember?" he said over his shoulder.
"Man with a gun!" Jesper called after him
this had no right being so funny
AND THEN KAZ GAVE HIM THE MIDDLE FINGER STOP I CAN'T
nina is the biggest kanej shiper no one can tell me i'm wrong
unrelated but if jesper had gone to the Little Palace and had studied there with nina they 100% would've had a crush on Zoya and bonded over it
like you can't tell me those two bisexual disaster wouldn't be absolutely in love with Zoya
jesper has adhd part ??:
Jesper scrubbed the back of his neck, touched his hands to his gunds, returned to his neck. He always seemed to be in motions
hyperactivity right there
and restlessness
"Do you know the best way to find Grisha who don't want to be found?" (...)
"Seems to be if they don't want to be found, you should just let them be" (jesper says this)
this conversation must be so stressful to him omg
LMAO JESPER CUT MATTHIAS HAIR THIS IS SO FUNNY
AND HE SHAVED HIM
ok you all know i love all of them but they can be sooo stupid
like wylan wrote no names on the drawing and he's excuse is that he doesn't know fjerdan?
AND THAT'S NOT EVEN TRUE he literally said he learned school fjerdan which means he should know how to write it too (we know why he can't but the tohers don't)
and even then like the excuse doesn't make any sense. why would having the original name be usefull if no one can fucking read it????
the worst part tho? NO ONE QUESTIONED HIM
THEY WERE LIKE "yup makes sense" AND WENT ON WITH THEIR DAY
i wondered how they didn't figure wylan's secret sooner but now i now
it's because theya re idiots
"I'm just doing my job. Stop glaring at me"
wylan baby let's not make the gigant mad
Jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. "Fine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I'm going to get Wylan's ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost."
Brekker's lips quirked. "I'll just hire Matthias ghost to kick your ghost's ass."
"My ghost won't associate with your ghost," Matthias said primply, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.
i had to put this here i don't want to get murdered by the fandom
jesper, inej and nina have the BEST friendship
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE JES AND INEJ TOGETHER ON NETFLIX
"I know some people don't understand, but Kaz told me ... he said it was my choice, that he wouldn't be the one to mark me again."
i love this because it happen when they had just met
he did it because he understands her trauma and he respects her not because he loves her (i doubt he did at the time)
Kaz had been impressed with the sketches. (...)
"Just learn to take a compliment. Kaz doesn't hand them out often."
I'M SO PROUD OF WYLAN
and yess kaz only compliments wylan (and inej but that's sarcastic so it doesn't count) because he's a proud dad
"And you don't belong here, either."
"I beg your pardon, merchiling?"
"We don't need a sharpshooter for Kaz's plan, so what's your job - other than stalking around making everyone angsty?"
He shrugged. "Kaz trusts me."
Wylan snorted and picked up his pen. "Sure about that?"
DAMN WYLAN DESTROYED HIM
also
"If you aren't born with every advantage, you learn to take your chances."
"I wasn't-" Wylan left off and set down his pen. (...)
aww cute neurodivergent boyfriends bonding
Wylan had turned back to his work, his disappointment obvious. For some reason, Jesper felt disappointed, too.
ajgflasjgfjagslfiuusgflgdfsgdflasdgfsd
wesper
aww jes checks on inej every morning and every night i love him
"Thank you for keeping me in this world when fate seemed determined to drag me to the next. I owe you a life debt."
Nina blushed deeply. "I was teasing, Inej"
LJFGALKGFALGA another cute friendship right there
(and i can see why people ship them romantically)
STOP INEJ AND JES ARE BONDING SO MUCH (page 127 so i can go back and read it lmao)
Van Eck writes to Wylan every week, and Wylan doesn't even open the letters
"They just said the same thing again and again: If you're reading this, the you know how much I wish to have you home. Or I pray that you read these words and think of all you've left behind."
should i kill him? anyone want to join me?
Inej bumped her shoulder against his."Then at least we're both the same kind of stupid." (...)
"You're too good for him, you know?"
"I know. So are you"
jes and her bonding over their stupid crush on a white boy
Because I've been looking for an excuse to talk to you for two days.
jfsfdajdhmgkfutdjrgsg ok i can't blame them for having a crush on him anymore
this chapter is full of kanej i love it
"What do you want, then"
You, Inej. You forever.
jksdgfoagsdfgsdgfklasgdflaghsldfgksdgfkahgsdfghjlkf
kaz's backstory makes me sad
"When we get our money, you can burn kruge to keep you warm," said Kaz. (...)
"I´m gonna pay someone to burn my kruge for me."
Kaz fell into step beside him. "Why don't you pay someone else to pay someone to burn your kruge for you? That's what big players do."
"You know what the really big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone ...". Their voices trailed off as they tomped ahead, and Matthias and the others followed.
JES AND KAZ HAVE THE BEST CONVERSATIONS
i can't believe we get to see nina and matthias meet and their whole backstory in less than a month omg
"It's not natural for women to fight."
"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand."
QUEEN
YOU TELL HIM
oh no the dead grisha
this part breaks my heart every time
"Do you have a different name for killing when you wear a uniform to do it?"
.....i'm just gonna leave this quote right here
anyways acab
stop nina tried to kill the survivor so they wouldn't suffer but she couldn't do it
and jesper did it for her without hesitation i wanna cry
and inej didn't want to do it either i want to hug them
"Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are"
..........
i'm gonna leave this here again
do with it what you will
"Don't mock what you don't understand."
"My mockery offends you? My people would welcome you laughter in place of this barbarity"
i- this conversation is so important
AAAAA JES AND WY ARE A GREAT TEAM I LOVE THEM
WYLAN TROWS BOMBS TOGIVE JESPER TIME TO GET READY TO SHOOT
INEJ AND KAZ ARE A GREAT TEAM TOO
THEY LITERALLY DID THE SCENE LIKE IN THE AVENGERS (but without the shield WHICH MAKES IT BETTER)
Jesper shouldered his rifle. "Wylan earned his keep."
Wylan gave a little jump at the sound of his name. "I did?"
YES BABY YOU DID GREAT
kaz getting self-conscious for his hair is pure comedy
but nina how can you say that have you see his hair on the show???? it's perfect
"Remeber our friend Mark?"
HELP I CAN'T
"Any other impossible feats you'd like us to accomplish?"
The bearest smile flikered over Kaz's lips. "I'll make you a list."
once again jesper and kaz being besties
unrelated but nikolai and jesper would love each other
the amount of sass they have between them it's unparalleled
"Mmm," Inej murmured, taking a sip from her mug. "Maybe you're just not enough."
DAMN
ma'am marry me please
kaz fainted damn poor boy
unrelated unce again but this is so much betetr than shadow and bone
like you can tell leigh improved so much
her characters are better and their arcs are better developed
the writing itself it's better
or maybe i'm just biased because i love soc so much but i think she definetly improved
INEJ IS TRYING TO GIVE HIM SPACE EVEN WHEN SHE'S TRAPPED AND LOCKED ON THE WAGON
I JUST - THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO MUCH
Though he'd trusted her with his life countless times, it felt much more frightening to trust her with his shame.
Inej had once offered to teach him how to fall. "The trick is not getting knocked down," he'd told her with a laugh. "No, Kaz," she's said, "the trick is in getting back up"
inej is smart af
Kaz was usually unshakeable during a job, but now he was on edge, and Jesper didn't know why. Part of him wanted to ask, though he knew that was the stupid part, the hopeful farmboy who picked the worst possible person to care about, who searched for signs in things that he knew deep down meant nothing - when kaz chose him for a job, when Kaz played along with one of his jokes. He could have kicked himself. He's finally seen the infamous Kaz Brekker without a stich of clothing, and he'd been too worried about ending up on a pike to pay proper attention.
ok i got a couple of things to say about this part
first of all it makes me so sad that jes cares so much for someone who dosn't deserve him. because no hate to kaz but they would never work as a couple and kaz already treats him like shit most of the time
i think this part shows who a lot about who jesper really is. a boy that grew up having to hide parts of himself, who thinks he's worth nothing but it's smart and capable, who's loyal and brave and caring but doesn't even know it himself. he's someone who feels he doesn't deserve good things and thinks he's not good enough, and that's why he unds up in all the wrong places with the wrong people. he left uni bc he fell in with the gangs, because he didn't think he was smart enough or even prepared to be in studying in the university. jesper is constantly hiding behind a mask or running from things because he's scared of not being enough
an kaz is everything jes in a way wishes he could be. kaz is secure in himself (at least on the outside), he's stable, he's smart, he's "unshakeable". and most of all, he doesn't care about others (we know that's not true but that's how he presents himself)
and that's the thing that causes jesper all his problems. because he's insecure because he thinks he's not good enough for the poeple or things he cares about. and he's always trying to do what's best for his loved ones: he went to the ice court to pay his debt for his father, he follows kaz everywhere beacause he cares about him, he offered to read to wylan (knowing it wouldn't be easy for him to be still that long).
and yeah it often doesn't work out becuase he's messy and he has problems but he tries. and he hates that. he hates that he cares so much about people because at the end of the day, that's what makes him feel like he's not good enough
one more thing and i'm done i promise
unpopular opinion but i love that leigh made jesper have a crush on kaz. 1 beacuse it's refreshing to see someone not get otgether with his first crush. and 2 because i love that it shows that we sometimes get attached to people that are not good for us, but that we can learn to move on. jesper ended with wylan who respects him and values him, unlike kaz
ok i'm sorry that was probably all bs
oo one more thing, jesper definetly has rsd (rejection sensitive disphoria), which is something most poeple with adhd have
"My father used to take me everywhere with him"
this is so sad. bc they probably had a good relationship when he was little. and then they figured he coudln't read and now his father treats him like shit
it's even worse than if he haf been horrible from the beginning because wylan knows he can be a good father. and so he thinks it's his fault and he deserves to be treated like that. i hate van eck
"You're cuter when you're smart"
(...)
"Definitely cuter when you're smart"
wesper yesssss
i love them so much
ok but why do people think jesper is stupid. like the boy just made a bunch of criminals pass out by mixing some chemicals
and he was going to the university at like 15
AAAAND NOW THEY KNOW HE'S A FABRIKATOR
amazing plot twist
also:
Wylan coughed. Flirting with him might actually be more fun that annoying him, but it was a close call.
oooo come on jesper we all know you just love getitng him to blush
and you love him
who said that? definitely not me, nope
awwww jesper misses being around animals that's cute
imagine him coming home to wylan one day with a puppy because he just couldn't resist
cute
Better terrible truths than kind lies
just leaving here more of inej's wisdom
ok this may be a reach but jesper has adhd part ???
Yellow Protocol? Red Protocol? He couldn't remember which was which. (...)
"The alarm was Yellow Protocol, a sector disturbance."
Jesper pushed at his temples. "I don't remember what that means"
a bad working memory? sounds familiar
kaz loves puzzles
it's canon
"I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue."
this part where wylan and jesper see the banner made with grisha's kefta kills me every time
I would have worn purple, Jesper thought, if I'd joined the Second Army. (...) He'd beenwilling, even eager to risk capture and execution as a thief and hired gun. Why was it worse to think about being hunted as a Grisha?
this makes me want to cry so much
another thing super sad: the fact that since his father is Kaelish and had some supersititons towards grisha, jesper grew up wondering if his own father was scared of him. he had to hide his powers and he was almost taught to be afraid of them
"Is it safe to leave them, you know-"
"Alive? I'm not big on killing unconscious men."
"We could wake them up"
WYLAN
NO
damn the boy needs therapy
it's amazing how nothing went like they planned
not a single thing
PEOPLE GET READY
ARE YOU READY?
NEITHER AM I BUT WHO CARES
"What do you like?"
"Music. Numbers. Equations. They are not like words. They...they don't get mixed up."
ok dude the clues are right there he's basically saying it
"If only you could talk to girls in equations."
There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they'd created in the link, Wylan said, "Just girls?"
Jesper restrained a grin. "No. Not just girls." It really was a shame they were all probably going to die tonight.
wylan really said a straight man?? couldn't be me
this is the definition of bi panic "jesper restrained a grin" bitch we saw that
btw i love the slow burn
like they hint something here but they don't actually start liking each other until much later and they don't get together until almost the end of ck
i also love that the fact that they both like guys is like out in the open now. bc i'm not a fan of when queer characters have a crush and there's the whole thing of "are they queer too or not?"
like they both know htey are queer. but they don't get together right away bc they have to start liking each other before. they don't get together bc they are the only queer mlm characters
matthias fake betrayal killed me
i tought it was real
I have been made to protect you. Only in death will I be kept fom this oath.
this is just-
also foreshadowing?
YAYY KUWEI HI
There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.
She's laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and got drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.
if i ever have a s/o and they don't tell me this at least once i don't want it
He needed to tell her... what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himslef together into some smeblance of a man for her
THIS
THIS IS LOVE RIGHT THERE
they are the only straight couple that matters
everyone else go home
Wylan had scratches all over his cheeks and neck. He was beaming. Inej grabbed his hands and sqeezed.
so cute omg
"You can explain why our illustrious Shu scientist looks like one of Wylan's school pals along the way"
KAZ
i mean it's true but you didn't have to say it
KAZ IS SMILING OMG
EVERYONE FREAK OUT WITH ME
HE'S "grinning like and idiot" STOP I LOVE HIM
"We are all someone's mosnter, Nina"
"I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all"
this part breaks my heart and i love it
"Stay," she oanted. Tears leaked from her eyes. "Stay till the end"
"And after," he said. "And always."
i just- helnik is perfect
AWWW JESPER MISSES WYLAN
my daily dosis of wesper :)
ok but in like 2 pages jesper tought of wylan like 10 times bc he's sad wy isn't with him
Jesper scanned the empty deck. He's assumed Wylan would come up to see them off. (...)
Jesper knew he was being selfish and stupid, but some petty part of him wondered if Wylan had deliberately kept away from him on the journey back. Maybe now that the job was complete and he was on his way to his share of the haul, Wylan was done slumming with criminals.
*charles boyle's insinuating voice* and why do you care so much???
btw YOU ARE WRONG. HE'S LITERALLY GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO BE WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH HE CAN'T SPEAK
this scene where we find out the truth about wylan hurts so much but it's one of my favourites idk why
I LOVE THAT EVERYONE IS AS MAD AS I AM ABOUT THE LETTERS NOW
"Your're a fool," Jesper snarled. "He smarter than most of us put together, and he deserves a better father than you."
YES TELL HIM
the fact that wylan just heard him say that omg
"Deserved" amended Van Eck. He blew the whislte twice.
SOMEONE BETTER GRAB ME BEFORE I KILL HIM MYSLEF
THAT IDIOT
I HATE HIM SO MUCH
I'M GONNA CRY CAN SOMEONE KILL HIM FOR ME
Jesper screamed in rage and raised his guns.
YES EXACLTY WHAT I MEANT
JUST KILL HIM RIGHT NOW
"I'm not big on bludding, am I Inej?"
"Not as a rule"
Van Eck's lip curled. "And why is that?"
"Because he'd rather cheat," said the boy who was not Kuwei Yul-Bo in perfect, unaccented Kerch.
THIS WAS PERFECT
THE BEST WAY TO REVEAL THAT
(...), and Jesper flinched
baby he recognized wylan's voice
The Shu boy held out a hand. "Pay up, Kaz"
BITCH THIS IS AMAZING
THIS BOY MADE A BET WITH A CRIMINAL THAT HIS OWN FATHER WAS GOING TO TRY TO KILL HIM
AND HE WON THE BET
A nearly perfect replica of Kuwei Yul-Bo stood before them, but he had Wylan's voice, his mannerisms, and - though Kaz could see the fear and hurt in his golden eyes - Wylan's surprising courage, too.
i love it when they compliment him
my boy deserves all the compliments ever
AND KAZ IS PROUD OF HIS SON WE ALL KNOW THIS
Wylan cuold draw a perfectt elevation. He's made a drill that could cut throu Grisha glass from parts of a gate and scavenged bits of jewellery. So what if he couldn't read
this is taking me to some real places
i may cry you've been warned
WYLAN DIDN'T CARE THAT HE MAY BE STUCKED LOOKING LIKE KUWEI
this is making me cry
"A fool would have been waiting to be smashed to bits on that ship. And as for "traitor", you've called me worse in the last few minutes alone."
EXACTLY
YOU TELL HIM WYLAN
Instead, in that moment of threat, when he should have thought only of the fight, he looked at Inej.
BABY
i would've done the same tho she's pretty
amita is sooo pretty i'm gonna die when the show comes out
Jesper was staring at Wylan, his eyes roving over the black hair, the golden eyes. "Why?" he said at last. "Why would you do this?"
nothing to say here except: wesper
You... how many times was it you standing beside me on the deck at night when I tought it was Kuwei?"
"Every time."
i want to cry so bad
"Why does it matter?"
"I don't know!" Jesper said angrily. "Maybe I liked your stupid face."
a very staright and platonic thing to say of course
i know jes we all liked his stupid face
"Jesper made a mistake," said Wylan. "A stupid mistake, but he didn't set out to betray anyone."
YES WYLAN DEFEND YOUR BOYFRIEND
And maybe he'd kept him in the dark about Wyllan because he wanted to punish him a little
even kaz know they like each other come on
Jesper sat with elbows on knees, head in hands. Wylan deside him wearing th face of a stranger.
wylan give him a hug fro me please
he needs it
"Scheming face," murmured Jesper.
"Definitely," agreed Wylan.
i miss inej already
And I'm going to get my girl. Inej could never be his, not really, but he would find a way to give her the freedom he´d promised her so long ago.
i'm ugly crying and so what?
and now we're done....
i want to read this book again omg this is unhealthy

Thanks so much for tagging me <3
1. How old are you ? 19 (I actually had to think for a second there cause my birthday wasn't even 2 weeks ago lol)
2. What are your pronouns ? she/her
3. What's your sexual/romantic orientation ? straight I guess cause I just have no reason to belive otherwise so far
4. Hair colour: brown but dyed a dark red
5. Eye colour: like a grey-blue-green mix I think. It kinda really depend on the lighting conditions what it looks like ^^"
6. Favourite colour(s)/ colours you associate yourself with: I think I have 3 favourite colours: bordeaux red (like sth around hexcode #830000) which is pretty much the colour I dyed my hair, a deepish magenta (about #820882) and a sunny yellow (around #FFE240)
7. Where are you from ? Cologne, Germany
8. What's your dream career ? Well I'm studying chemistry at the moment so something related to that is defenitely the plan rn
9. What languages do you speek besides English ? German (native), I had two years of Spanish classes in school but don't remeber that much tbh and I had 5 years of Latin classes as well but don't remember a lot either and you don't speak Latin at all anyways so I don't know if it really counts
10. Favourite book (series): I've been kinda obsessed with the discworld novels for a while now. I've only read a few of them so far but I really really loved the ones I have read
11. Favourite movie(s): I'm really bad at choosing favourites most of the time but for some reason whenever somebody asks me this my mind jumps to The Great Wall, I also really love the whole MCU and I can pretty much always watch the 4th Harry Potter movie. Tbh I pretty much enjoy every movie I watch tho
12. Favourite series: I only really started watching series rather recently but the one I kinda really obsessed about is Good Omens (I watched the whole show in a single day and don't regret a thing about it), most of Black Mirror is pretty amazing too
13. Favourite fandom you're in: I don't even really know if I'm in any fandom tbh. I really enjoy a lot of stuff but I don't know if I'm really "deep" enough into any single thing to really ciunt myself as part of the fandlm if that makes sense.
14. Top 3 OTPs: Victuuri (Yuri!!! On Ice), Wolfstar (Harry Potter), Ineffable Husbands (Good Omens)
15. What's your Hogwarts house ? Ravenclaw with some Slytherin tendencies
16. Top 3 favourite songs (you can name more if you feel like it): I don't think I really have absolute favourite songs ( I basically have a more than 18 hour long Spotify Playlist with what is basically favourite songs ^^") but at the moment I really like Follow my Feet (The Unlikely Candidates), Miss Missing You (Fall Out Boy) and All The Boys (Panic! At The Disco)
17. What are your hobbies ? reading, watching movies/shows/anime, travelling to other cities (not rn obviously tho), goibg to the movies
18. Do you believe in higher powers ? I'm really indifferent about that tbh. I find many beliefs and myths (especially the polytheistic ones) really interesting and love to read/hear about all the stories there are but I don't really know if I actually believe in all of it or even parts of it. But what I've kinda always said is that if somebody would force me to believe in and worship some kind of god that it most certainly wouldn't be one from a monotheistic belief and that it would most certainly come down to me worshipping Nyx and/or some kind of deity connected to wind/storm.
19. Things that make you happy: music, things working out as planed, nights, movie theaters, staying at home kn my pyjamas all day, browsing shops (especially book- or comicshops)
20. Any unpopular opinion (on anythibg you can think of)? Canned tuna is delicious and I have no problem with eating it straight out of the can.
I really don't know who to tag so I guess I'll just randomly tag the last 3 people in my notes lol: @sadsenkii @chilipepergirl @beeaarwithme
Ask game: let’s get to know each other better (personal questions)
Answer the questions (as long as it doesn’t make you uncomfortable - you don’t have to answer all of them) and tag people you want to get to know better:
1. How old are you? 20

3. What’s your sexual/romantic orientation? aromantic asexual
4. Hair colour: light brown
5. Eye colour: dark brown
6. Favourite colour(s)/ colours you associate yourself with: purple, any shade of it; also grey - I feel like they’re middle grounds between two extremes (red/blue - I see them as opposite ends of a scale, and black/white)
7. Where are you from? Varna, Bulgaria. I sometimes live in the capital, Sofia, though, because I study there. 
8. What’s your dream career? translator. I’ve known it since I was ten and translating a big thick book from Bulgarian into German. 
9. What languages do you speak beside English? Bulgarian (native), German and Spanish. I’m learning Italian at the moment and I sort of understand Russian but can’t speak it. 
10. Favourite book (series): Harry Potter and the entire Riordanverse. I’m also fond of The Three Musketeers.
11. Favourite movie(s): Catch Me if You Can and The Sound of Music.

18. Do you believe in higher powers? Yes, I am a Hellenistic pagan and I consider Apollo and Hermes my godly fathers. I also believe all other gods from different religions exist, I just don’t worship them. 
19. Things that make you happy: chatting with my internet friends, performing crowd songs from musical and playing every part, Jeremy Jordan’s voice, translation classes with my favourite prof., the smell of very old or brand new books, random music unrelated to the current situation, dark chocolate with orange peel shavings
20. Any unpopular opinions (on anything you can think of)? I don’t avoid spoilers, I enjoy them because it’s nice to smile knowingly when things happen that you knew would happen and because they’re a good trigger warning that prepares you for the worst. For example, I haven’t yet read The Burning Maze from the Trials of Apollo series, but I know about the one big thing that happens in it and it won’t hit me as hard when I finally read the book. 
I’m tagging @whereeverythingisnew, @summergirl2408 and @ellakay69
