#i might actually write a ficlet abt this who knows

[becauseplot]

Phil was talking about how, if he and Ranboo ended up 1v1 in the final round of Dodge Bolt, he would throw so Ranboo could have a win, and it gave me the funniest mental image of like:

*in Dodge Bolt*

Phil, strafing back and forth like a madman: "RAN, STOP TRYING TO SHOOT ME AND FUCKING SHOOT ME!"

Ranboo, hands shaking, sweating bullets, on the verge of tears, *this* close to throwing up: "I'M DOING MY BEST MAN OKAY??"

[bluelolblue]

Hiiiiiii!! I inspired myself with the stabbing bit from the last ficlet: imagine Santino getting investigated and/or punished by the High Table. Poor baby would be so stressed! Do you think that has ever happened to him? What might he get reprimanded for and how would he react? Do you think John's there to defend him, or maybe it's after he performs the impossible task for John and he has to deal with the consequences all alone... 😔

HIIII :3

Thank you so much for the ask as always YAAAY! AAHH yes that ficlet was really inspiring AND ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 💖

That's a really delicious ask very yummy >:3

Aaawww poor baby can't catch a break (from us LMAOO, that stabbing part too in the ficlet 💔)

He would be VERY STRESSED OUT

He probably broke a very dumb rule, or "unwritten rule" or he himself got a bit too greedy for something, and they just decided to punish him for that. Or he just crossed paths with a wrong person who holds grudges against him. In the High Table world, I think if you just look at one of them wrong, they call a hit on you.

And knowing how Santino can be bitchy, even if maybe doesn't necessarily mean it in a bad way, someone will take that the wrong way. You really have to get to know Santino before making a judgment 😭

Also, one of his bodyguards could've simply just killed someone who tried to attack him, and it turns out it was someone "important" so now he faces the consequences. And it was self defense :(

Another idea, he got scammed. I mean scammed in a way of him making some kind of a deal with a WRONG person, someone who later on tricks him, uses him to get something and manipulates the whole situation. Probably when he didn't have much experience in his role, when he was just staring to get into all this (so he was very young and naive). Although, it can still happen. Hight Table members and whoever is around it can be good liars.

But it could also be his own fault... because sometimes he thinks too much with his own feelings and ignores the possible consequences. If he's extremely pissed off, he feels anger, and that's the only thing he feels and wants to express. So he isn't really thinking the way he should which results with him making bad decisions that to HIM seems right, but to someone else (for example to John who is with him during his rage), it's not a good decision. So, really, during that, he needs to have someone (John) with him during that.

But in every scenario... HE IS PISSED OFF, but also feels lots of self-hatred and... hatred towards everyone else, except John. But yeah, he does snap at him, but he feels bad when he comes back to his senses :<

Especially... if they hurt him as a punishment for breaking the rules. He is angry, he is sad, he is just so overwhelmed with everything and it can be too much. He wants to punish himself even more. But that ends up with him breaking down into crying. They just hit his weak spots with that 😞

John NEEDS to be there for him, he needs to protect him because because how DARE THEY HURT HIM?? Absolutely not, John is not having that. You can't just punish Santino and expect to go without facing John's consequences. And this time Santino is the one saying "But they'll kill you if you do that. I know you want to protect me but you'll break even worse rules. I want you to be with me, that's all, just be here with me." Please just keep each other safe you sillies 😞🙏

Oooh but that idea after the impossible task!! Let me write abt that too ehehe!

After he helps him and has to deal with it ALL ALONE 😭💔 and he is facing those consequences because of helping John. Because he actually cares for him, he doesn't want to interrupt John's "free" life. But he still ends up hurts, he still has to deal with it all alone and just think about how John would comfort him and probably protect him.

AGHH, just thinking about Santino having to go through it ALL ALONE and imagining that John is there with him 😭💔

Basically... Santino can't catch a break, everyone just uses him and make him break rules or whatever so he is the one that ends up hurt 😞 but John is there for him, he has to be 🖤💙

been thinking abt eggsy and tattoos for a while now and i keep taking notes of ideas and stuff but when i sit down and actually try to map stuff out and draw tattoo designs i just immediately realise i fucking hate drawing tattoos and trying to come up with places to put them?? like i love thinking abt it and like thinking what would make sense for this character and all that but i dont like having to come up with specifics i think? i wish i could just vaguely describe them instead of drawing them ugh

[wolfiemcwolferson]

i wrote u a message some time ago abt it but it seems that it was not delivered or something like that (might be my own fault cause I ~may or may not~ have had 3 glasses of wine before so absolutely no fuckin idea if I actually sent it or just wrote it and went to sleep)

ANYWAYS….

I have written u before telling how I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the way you write piarles (ultimate otp), and then the last fantasy fest fic…. I MEAN…. I’ve read it 4 or 5 times already and I absolutely love omfg how can u write something like thisssssss. I think by the time the winter e can he fic comes I’ll probably have memorized if, and then I’ll just memorize the winter exchange fic also because I KNOW it will be perfection as always.

(whenever u can, please feed me with your piarles fics, thoughts, 5 sentences prompts. I take everything u want to give)

Hi friend!

Your message from a few weeks ago did send, but sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with the nice things people are saying that I hoard them up like little nuggets and re-read them at 3 AM when my brain is telling me to delete everything in my current google doc and start over.

BUT, I appreciate your kind words so so much it's unbelievable that other people love my little brain drabbles as much as I love coming up with them.

I have a little one that I have had in my notes app forever and ever that isn't full fic worthy, but would make an interesting little ficlet so here you go:

Piarles AU- based off the song Cherry by Harry Styles, but with a Happy Ending

Charles makes a burner Instagram account - which is really really stupid considering he did it when he was drunk with Carlos and the username is absolutely something Pierre would recognize, but...maybe he'll see it and feel guilty. Maybe one day he'll be checking to see if someone has watched one of his dumb stories on Instagram and he'll see it and he'll know. Charles is still waiting. Maybe he'll feel guilty then.

Because Charles misses him. Every single time his phone dings and he gets a dumb notification on that stupid burner account that Pierre has posted a story, dread fills him up. Is he finally going to post the probably boyfriend? Is he finally going to do more than soft launch him?

Soft launch - stupid stupid word that Lando had used to describe whatever Pierre was doing with that man. Posting pictures of two plates out at a fairly romantic dinner. An artsy shot of a flat that definitely didn't belong to Pierre. A balcony that leads out to a ridiculous view of a French vineyard.

Stupid French boys with stupid money and parents with rare art collections that steal soulmates and - it would hurt less if Pierre had looked miserable for at least a day. One single day of him looking miserable.

But, the day - the day - after he told Charles that Pierre 'needed time to figure out if he was doing the right thing', he was back to his normal self. Smiling in pictures. Hiking. Going out clubbing with Yuki.

Charles wanted to scream at him a little bit. How dare you doubt this? You know who I am just as I know who you are. I've known who you are since I met you. You are the person who knows me best. You are the person who helps me buy clothes so I do not wear one color. (Charles doesn't like to think too much about the fact that he has been broken of that habit completely and it is thanks to Pierre's years and years of work.)

Pierre didn't need to figure out if he was doing the right thing. Because the wrong thing was what he was doing now. (But it's hard for Charles to find fault in him. All Pierre has ever known is Charles and Pierre...well, Pierre thinks things to death.) ((But, what is there to think about when you and your best friend admit that the feelings you have for each other go well past platonic? What is there to think about?)) (((Charles is being a dick. There is plenty to think about. Pierre is so hesitant to give his heart away. That's fine. Charles will wait.)))

Yuki comes to see him when he's on this side of the city - bringing him absolutely zero scraps of Pierre, but plenty of gossip about their other friends - who Charles does miss, but all their conversations are stilted and odd. No one wants to bring it up. Charles doesn't know if he's thankful for it or he hates it. Probably a bit of both.

Charles is laying on the couch, thinking about calling Carlos to come over and drag him out of his flat so he doesn't have another night of...this, when his phone buzzes on the table. It's Instagram and he huffs before swiping it open and Instagram switches his account, pulling up Pierre's newest Instagram story.

It's a short video of footage from a train window. Going home.

Charles lets his phone drop to the floor, scrubbing his hands over his face a few times before he picks it back up and pulls up Carlos' contact. He can go out. He will go out and he'll - he'll dance with his friends and he will...not think about Pierre.

.

Post shower, Charles is arranging his hair in a way that says...well, something. Lando will rearrange it when he gets here so he's not sure why he's bothering, but his door is buzzing and he gives up. Going to swing it open and beg Lando to help him, please.

It's not Lando.

"I was hoping," Pierre says, eyes on the floor, hands in the pocket of his coat, voice small and scared, "that you still meant what you said at Halloween."

Charles is frozen in the spot. "That I love you?"

Pierre's eyes flick up to his, quick, and then immediately back down. Like he's afraid.

"I do. I still love you."

Pierre takes one step towards the door, eyes still on the floor. "I know now." He shrugs, voice smaller. "I am sorry, Charlito. I should have -"

Charles reaches for him. Tucks him into his arms. "You know now." He whispers, feeling Pierre cling to him. "You know now."

"I love you too." Pierre sobs into Charles' chest.

He came home.

like the son holds the moon by lou is fake. i mean, i read the oneshot they posted here on tumblr and i was like OMGGGG WTF I NEED MORE and i was actually sad bc it was just a ficlet done based on a prompt (?) and that was it. but i really needed to know more abt that universe and then i saw lou was writing more and i checked tumblr everyday to see if something was posted and then BAM: LTSHTM on ao3 and all. and damn i didn’t expect that but it was everything and more. this fic was hands down the best one i read all year, i think. perfect

Anon this is so sweet!! I've heard incredible things about LTSHTM, and it has been languishing on my MFL for far too long. But I know it deserves all the praise, as does all of Lou's writing.

Read "Like the Son Holds the Moon" by @lou-isfake on AO3!

The purpose of this blog is for people who might not want to have a full-on Drarry or fic rec blog but who have a favorite fic or piece of art that they're so passionate about that they want to write a rec. Send in an ask with the fic name, or a link if it's art, the name of the creator, and why you love/rec it!!

[fishandshesmygills]

hii!! i was wondering if u have any good fic recs? i've been trying to find some but sorting through the many, many fics has been impossible and you seem like you have good taste lmao

omg hi anon this is so sweet.... I’ve mostly gotten fics from other ppl’s reclists on here so check out my #fic recs tag but I can link some favorites if you want! (you might know them all already tho, i’m not exactly slogging thru the actual ao3 tag either)

everyone’s a critic, teen, ~100k, this was the first long spn fic I read pretty much as soon as cas showed up, back when I was only reading aus to avoid spoilers. To be honest I didn’t really know anything abt cas then so even though I’ve read it twice how good the cas characterization in there is kinda a blur, but I am such a big fan of chef dean i want to give him a hug. I appreciate the lack of explicit smut here too it cuts away very tastefully.

under the midnight sun, explicit, ~230k, this is the longest fic I’ve ever successfully finished reading, I read it over the span of 2 days and I’m obsessed. ao3 user northernsparrow has an ornithology degree and uses it to write gay angel fanfiction. this is an ~au~ but cas is still an angel and it’s so well researched (from op’s real experience) that it really makes you feel like you’re on an arctic research station.

like moses and batman and james dean , explicit, ~30k, this is a personal favorite of mine (I mean, obviously, it’s on this list), warning for underage prostitution, this is such a good dean studies fic

r/supernatural, gen, ~3.5k, this is by my beloved mutual @marywinchesterapologist and never fails to make me laugh. dean posts on reddit.

the path of fireflies, mature, ~60k. keep ur eyes out for the ending, it will gut you. dean and cas got the b&b in vermont :)

regarding castiel, explicit, ~16k, this fic answers the question “what if cas was in 12x11 regarding dean? and does so wonderfully

tell me about the dream, mature, ~90k. what if after swan song dean couldn’t make the apple pie life work with lisa, but ended up reconnecting with cas who’s raising claire? this is soooo good I read it in one day and im probably gonna reread it soon I love it so much.

in due time, dean winchester is saved by @badjoices, teen, ~11k. what if little 26 year old pre-series dean showed up in 2021 and saw his future self alive and happy and with cas... warning for suicidal thoughts but there’s a happy ending, I love this one so much the ending really punched me in the gut

three little words  by @myaimistrue, mature, ~2.3k. cas, ambiguously back from the empty, tells dean he loves him and dean has a panic attack. this fic makes me feel so warm inside

you’re fooling yourself by @cowboydeanwinchester, teen, ~13k. baby jack fic baby jack fic!! maybe I’m partial to baby jack because I’m not to real jack in the show yet but I’m beyond obsessed with this fic and the author also wrote a couple more in-universe ficlets it’s so <3

I also have enjoyed pretty much everything from @sobsicles ! 

I have more fics in my bookmarks but these were for the most part the more memorable ones as I went through them just now. If you want more recs feel free to ask <3

hi! wanted to drop by and 2 things: (1) your ficlets are GODSEND during this shelter in place! it's my 3rd week alone (4th week SIP), and you and sarah-yyy just. consistently make my day whenever updates come up (peepin the daily gratitude lists too) luv luv luv what you do and thank you for your service in the mdzs fandom. (2) now that my luv has been expressed, I'm super intrigued that you know wingchun! it's not exactly the most common martial arts form, but was wondering how you got into it?

1) THANK YOU THANK YOU, I am also enjoying myself immensely on my downtime from work writing these ficlets and I’m glad it’s bringing a bit of joy to the people who read it

2) OMG WING CHUN!!!!! MY LOVE

Hooookay so how I got into Wing Chun:

I was told by my immunologist that I needed to do more exercise, especially cardio and strengthening/flexibility because it would help my hypersomnia and my arthritis. But I HATE the gym and I hate cardio, because it was boring and I had zero motivation to actually start it in the first place, let alone continue it in the long run. I realised that if it were something that were self-motivated, I’d probably start making excuses for myself after a while and stop going.

So I figured that, rather than going to the gym and/or running (which, btw, is also really bad for my knees and ankles), I would do something that was both useful and fun. I’d known about the academy I now train at for many years and had thought about trying it, but never got around to? So I thought hey, what the heck. It’s self-defence, and Wing Chun is one of those martials arts where you don’t actually need to be big and strong and fit to be able to do, so I thought I’d give it a try. Then I realised that the partner of a friend from uni also went to that same academy, so I signed up for a trial lesson and went with him.

The rest is history. I fell in love with it because it’s practical and teaches you to be more aware of the way your body moves in very fine detail. It teaches you to be more efficient and effective in the way you move your body, and how to maximise what you can do with your body using the least amount of effort. One of the core concepts you learn is actually that the more relaxed your body is, the more you are able to manipulate your opponent’s strength against them.

And from there, I found I was naturally motivated to get fit as a result of going to these lessons. I went from not being able to even do 10 situps, to running 20 minute long warm down sessions consisting of strength/cardio/ABT exercises. I also started doing Pilates classes on the side for extra help in strengthening my muscles, which has also benefited my Wing Chun.

I am a trainee instructor now, working towards becoming a full instructor (for which I have been doing intense sparring training where we demonstrate the practical application of what we’ve learned in class against another instructor), after which I will be able to properly learn the “internal” principles of Wing Chun (what a lot of people might call qigong). Technically I’ve already started on some basics, but to be able to train it in more detail is very, very exciting!!

(I also met my partner there and he’s a full instructor who is just as nerdy about Wing Chun as me, so nowadays we train together when we have time and he’s helping me train during the lockdown.)

[deansawthetvglow]

hihi!! may I request these from the destiel asks: #2, 4, 11, & 13 pls? also I hope u received my ask for ur url celebration & tumblr didn't eat it as it usu does for me🙈 anywho thank u!💜

HI YES I RECEIVED YTOUR SUPER CUTE PROMPT ! im working on it, i have an idea, i just need to do some research (ie. go to work tomorrow and write from experience lmao) ill post the ficlet under your ask, so you’ll get a notif! 

also thanks for the ask! ily for interacting ahaha you’re the best. 

questions from this 

2. What is your favourite Destiel moment?

honestly, i’ve answered this before I think (classic moments, s8, s12, s13 esp), but right now i’m being emotional and i’m so attached to s15. honestly, the whole 15x01 thru 15x13 run of destiel angst and love and softness and pain has been so amazing. like, the way they are treating it is with a certain importance that makes me so happy (also im a sucker for angst). I think out of those moments though is cas leaving and dean’s fucking face :(((,  the phone call between dean and cas where they were so obviously concealing deeper feelings, the “here let me” that shows, despite the turmoil they still care abt each other so much they can’t avoid their rebelious fates to be put together, and last, deans purgatory prayer. i still can’t believe dean was so emotionally vulnerable and he deserves kudos for being so brave and for admitting his fears and his struggles to someone he loves. 

4. Who are your favourite Destiel fan artists?

i think ive answered this long ago, but i think i’ll just tag a buncha people and if they are repeats, KUDOS 

@wigglebox @c-kaeru @winchester-reload @ah-syddlesticks @skeletonsinzeeclost @lizleeships 

ALSO a million insta artists who idk if they have tumblrs, but feel free to check my following list on my insta for some of my faves! 

11. Do you think it’ll ever go textually canon?

to me, it genuinely already is, the pining, the words, the actions, they are all there. however, for it to go “canon” like general public not looking at it so analytically….genuinely yes. i always get nervous saying that though, i fucked up years ago with thinking the same abt johnlock, but knowing this is the final season….i just…have a gut feeling it’s going to happen… i think it might happen in a tragic way…but even if that happened, at least they had eachother for the time they did. (this reply made me tear up, im not coping w the end, clearly) 

13. What is your ideal way for Destiel to go canon?

would accept any of the following:

a kiss :( 

a hand hold

an acknowledge of their actual feelings 

an “i love you” from dean 

an explicitly romantic “i love you” from either side. 

also because of my answer to 11 i can’t stop imagining dean or cas dying and the other one breaking down to say “i loved him. i couldn’t help it. i loved him” and the other half hearing from whatever beyond they are in and saying it softly back like “i loved you too. i still love you.”
