After ten cups of coffee, I'm thinkin'...
ā€”
you ever get a song stuck in your head and feel like drawing about it?
i've been working through a lot of weird finicky not-plot-but-plot-influencing details the past week or two that like... no one is ever going to see (by which i mean things like math and calculations, not prose) and also just thinking about certain particulars and interconnections.
i'll be real, i don't know how to concisely provide context for this set of drawings (well, except for the top right, i think that's pretty self explanatory) so... i'm just not going to.
here's some closeups:
Tumblr media
it's the next day and my head hurts but i will provide some context i guess. it's Skip. I have a (fic) WIP that addresses this relationship/incident directly (not just vague flashbacks) but I'm not sure when it will go up or if I should cut parts (not that there's anything explicit just that it has a lot of "after the fact" that might be a case of not knowing when to end)
Tumblr media
uncle ben's grave... probably parents' as well. obv peter has abandonment issues and loss. parents, uncle, grandparents, etc. of course he still has his aunt and eventually makes friends again but that doesn't make him feel any less.
Tumblr media
The Jackal.
It took me a few minutes to figure out what to do here, but i settled on this as something that is foreboding while also being neither detailed nor explicit.
if you've seen my concepts for Ben's costumes you've seen the Jackal's maskā€”it's not green and it's not a transformative alias. He is simply a man in a leather mask.
Tumblr media
Peter in the hospital afterward. He has a broken shoulder, among other injuries. You know what's funny? This is a year (more accurately, 14 months) before Peter proposes to Flash. Not related, just how it happens I guess.
Anyway there's morphine in that drip.
Tumblr media
Flash and Peter. They'll have been together steadily for 3-4 years at this point. I feel like there are a thousand different things I could say here but... *gestures vaguely*
I took the words off because I wanted to put in on Insta and Bluesky but my mom follows me on those places and I didn't want her to be like, is something wrong ??? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ no mom my gay au just gets kind of intense.

INFO POST
Tumblr media
Name: Kylee (they/them). 30+
A totally normal Korean American mostly known for my drawings, specifically my Pokemon nuzlocke comics. But I will talk about other things on occasion because I do have periods of being fixated on certain topics. I also am a doctor!
Interests:Ā Pokemon, League of Legends (everything except the game lmao), Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, Mother series, Korean history/culture, character design
General FYIs:Ā 
General inquiries/commission work/etc should be sent thru kynimdraws [at] gmail [dot] com! Tumblr messaging/asks/etc is not 100% reliable
I will not follow NSFW accounts but I am fine talking/interacting with them. There may be suggestive shitposting but I like keeping my content on the SFW side
I am VERY picky about who I follow/interact with online. Fandom content in particular is a minefield for me aka I have many things I dislike and donā€™t want to see, even if it might be a popular thing in media that I otherwise enjoy. Therefore, I will unfollow/block/mute liberally. There are times I accidentally block a blog bc I mistake them for bots. So if you got hit with that, just send me an ask or email me
I am very open about what I like and dislike, and none of those things are a direct attack on your sensibilities. I have never gone out of my way to directly send hate or whatever have you if I end up seeing shit I donā€™t like. My complaints in my little online space ain't a personal attack on you.
My ask/submission box/DMsĀ  are open for criticisms if you have any issues you want to resolve in private. No one is perfect and I may have done ignorant shit that needs to be pointed out. I have deleted or edited posts in the past if people tell me what I did wrong. PS I get that some of my stuff may upset you, but try to act civil when pointing shit out please.
I try to tag all my things whenever I can. Again, send me a message if anything bothers you. I am all for good debate but if you send me excessive hate or threats bc I have different opinions about matters that are trivial, I will block/delete them.
If you wish to use any of my hcs, please credit me. And if you are comfortable with it, send me the works so I can check them out! Or @ me if that is easier.

FIRE EMBLEM FYI: Specifically for 3Houses/3Hopes becauseĀ I need a separate one for this franchiseĀ specificially given how many crazy things I got due to being involved in this fanbase via my fanworks:
DO NOT try to convince me to like or tolerate Byleth/student ships, ESPECIALLY the ones with the lords (aka CIaude, Dimitri, EdeIgard). I already summarized why I donā€™t like FE3H Byleth ships with student chars here. While the spinoff game FEW3H has now removed that teacher/student problematic situation, the fandom keeps putting the FE3H elements into the FEW3H fanworks (i.e. remembering Byleth from ā€œanother lifeā€ trope)...so no thanks!! DO NOT SHOW ME IT!!!
As for the Byleth ships with faculty members, my response is here so donā€™t try to bait me about that topic either thanks.
I do not care whom you ingame S-support. 3Houses limits the dating-sim part of the game to that character, so I cannot care less about how you play the game. The main issue I have is when people treat Byleth theĀ ā€œcharacterā€ as a legit ship material when I personally think they are a cool character ruined by fans who are too obsessed with badly executed self insert otome tropes bc they self-project super hard onto them. Just to be clear, any FE3H or FEW3H OC/Canon >>>>>>Byleth ships personally. Even Byleth-sonas that remove the teacher/student aspects are better than canon FE3H!Byleth
Please don't drag FE VA statements as some sort of ā€œgotchaā€ on my opinions like this post here. IDC what other people prefer with ship shit, thatā€™s their problem and not mine. I am not gonna bother them about it. So donā€™t bother ME about it.

Ask Meme: 9 People you'd like to get to know better.
Thanks for tagging me! @mysteriousbeetle
Three non romantic duos: Superhero brained at the moment so Babs and Cass obviously but also May and Daisy the best dynamic the mcu ever created. And finally I'm gonna go with Logan and Laura because they've been on my mind since the new deadpool movie.
a ship that might surprise others: For comics fandom the main one I can think of is bbrae since it's usually viewed in comic circles with the same contempt/annoyance as all other comic dynamics that change deliberately and clunkily because of tv/movies. But fuck it the teen titans cartoon was my entry to dc and they made little teen me feel so many emotions. Sorry to raven fans I can't hate them even though I would join u throwing wolfman era gar into a spike pit.
last song: begin again by Purity Ring and Run Away by Tzuyu.
last film: deadpool and wolverine. still think its mediocre still don't regret it
currently reading: just finished The Midnight Library and currently debating which book to start next. In terms of comics there's the orv webtoon and wfa weekly and tec and bop monthly and that's about it at the moment.
currently watching: can't actually remember the last tv show I watched lmao it was probably hotd. I'll just go with youtube right now. Currently going down a Supacell rabbit hole so that might be the next thing I watch.
currently consuming: Every Cass fic on ao3 and every good mom Talia fic. Bookmarking all the Cass fics so I can have my own personal library. Also playing the Sims Medieval a ton because I'm a stubborn completionist and I need ALL the achievements.
currently craving: Sleep and the ability to write more words without needing to stop. Whyyy can't stories just write themselves especially oc lore that's existed in my head for years.
Still too timid to tag anyone so I'll just say as usual, if you feel like piggybacking off of this then please don't hesitate! :D

I hope this ask doesn't come off as rude at all-- and I apologize if it does!-- but as an aspiring writer, I'm honestly really confused by some of the early choices in Godfeels, and I'm curious if I'm just not "getting it". I saw some posts about it pop up in the tag (and they WERE very shitty and rude about it :/), but I'd love to hear your explanation/take on June's big character change immediately post-realization, and especially the... "Trickster Arc", I guess it could be called? The former I get to some extent, but I'm really curious about the choice to do all THAT so early in the story with the trickster candy.
Seriously love your work, your narration is honestly a big inspiration to me in terms of how meta it gets and how close it gets to communicating directly with both the main character AND the audience!
no rudeness detected at all! this is a great question, in fact itā€™s one iā€™ve been kinda hoping someone would ask because iā€™ve been thinking about this stuff a lot these last few months. but i get the sense that youā€™re at least a little new here, so uh, yeah, hello, when people ask me interesting questions i tend to answer at great length. so strap in for that after the break lmao. also as a note, there will be some spoilers for all of godfeels here but please donā€™t let that scare you away, theyā€™re all contextless and, if anything, might honestly make the rest of the story *more* enjoyable as a result.
as far as "getting it" goes, i've talked at length about the how & why of the violence in godfeels in multiple places so i'll try to avoid rehashing that too much here. but one thing i want to emphasize right off the bat is that i never intended godfeels to be an ongoing thing. you talk about the trickster arc happening ā€œso early in the storyā€ but when i wrote godfeels 1 i didnā€™t plan on writing more. i didnā€™t even plan on making john trans! my idea of what the sum total of godfeels 2 would be when i started writing it wound up being completely different from the finished work. i didnā€™t plan to make this thing so long. i didnā€™t plan for june to accidentally on purpose kill her friends while drunk and then retcon it. i didnā€™t plan on turning the whole thing into a space opera. it all just happened to me, man. i kept writing because i kept finding more interesting things to say. and itā€™s important to specify that when i started gf1 i hadnā€™t written fiction in years. i think if you jumped ahead to godfeels 3 part 1 chapter 8, no matter how you feel about the content weā€™d at least be able to agree that in the years since 2019 iā€™ve become a much much better writer. if you want more insight into how my process has evolved, iā€™ve written so so so much about it, too much maybe even, in the #sarahposts tag.
anyway, now i want to talk about june's "big character change." the extent to which her trickster arc makes sense or feels in character seems to vary wildly from person to person. what always bugs me about "ooc" as a criticism is that godfeels starts six years and change after the end of homestuck. let's remember that the protagonists of homestuck were sixteen when the comic ended. now i want you to ask yourself if you as you were at 16 would think that you as you are now was "in character." or vice versa! probably not, right? it doesnā€™t even have to have been six years. i was STILL sixteen when i started to get embarrassed of who i was at sixteen!
that should be all i need to say, but it isnā€™t. and it doesn't really get to the core of the issue anyway. i am not nor have i ever been interested in writing "a sequel to homestuck,ā€ even though it has kind of just become that anyway. godfeels has always been about the meaty existential drama you can tease out through the complicated character dynamics of these fucked up traumatized gods. godfeels has always been my way of analyzing the themes and ideas of homestuck, the existential ramifications of the mechanics of SBURB and the classpects and retcon (letā€™s remember that i wrote godfeels around the same time that i took over hosting duties on the perfectly generic podcast). godfeels has also always been about me and my trauma. i even used to joke that june was my self-insert character, though i've seen that line repeated unironically by enough people who haven't read godfeels that i've stopped saying it. because it's not true! june is very, very different from me... i just happen to see my life reflected in her eyes.
to immediately rehash what i said i wouldn't, june eg8ert arose out of my frustration with most versions of the june egbert headcanon particularly in the summer of 2019. let's call her "hairclips june." hairclips june is always smiling, usually with smiling friends, she's wearing hairclips and has nonzero tit and is A Woman Now. as i said in my video, while i don't begrudge anyone their comfort food, this simply was not my experience with coming out as a trans woman. and of all the characters, iā€™d always identified most with john. also i thought, you know, these kids are SERIOUSLY messed up, every single one of them has died multiple times, they've seen things and done things no one should ever have to. and retcon! god, what a mindfuck retcon is.
those are the primal ingredients of godfeels. what if june came out and everyone wasn't chill about it? some folks say that's out of character and, idk, i guess that's arguably true. but i had friends who were very vocal trans allies whoā€™d been in queer relationships who still stopped talking to me after i came out. let me tell you i spent a lot of time fucked up in the head over how "out of character" that was for them, to the extent that i blamed myself for their reaction because surely they couldn't be so out of character. to which one might respond, well, why do this as a homestuck fic then? why not just do my own original thing instead?
and i guess the answer is that i didn't want to and i still don't, really. it's not just about the characters for me. i like the rules of the homestuck universe. i find it interesting how it mechanically reflects being a fictional narrative. and, you know, maybe it's easier for me to process violent intrusive thoughts through a character who is capable of acting on those thoughts and then immediately undoing them consequence-free. retcon is, in fact, sort of the perfect mechanism for exploring violent intrusive thoughts because it lets us play out the fantasy without lasting diegetic harm, such that we can just focus on the existential and moral questions of the phenomenon itself. and like, yeah, thatā€™s not everyoneā€™s cup of tea. but isnā€™t it still just as valid a topic to explore in fiction as anything else?
like em or not, people have intrusive thoughts. people have violent impulses. sometimes they even act on them. the unpleasantness of a phenomenon shouldnā€™t dictate whether it is acceptable to depict in fiction-- if anything, we ought to take our instinctive desire to look away as an urgent invitation to look closer instead. as iā€™ve been wont to say for years and years now, ā€œproblematicā€ implies a problem to be solved. that which is human is inherently complicated. to pretend itā€™s all good or bad excises humanity from the equation, or at least flattens the range of acceptable humanity. all of which is my extremely soapboxy way of saying (as iā€™ve said a million times by now), yes, godfeels june is problematic. that is in fact what godfeels is about.
there's an extent to which i think this can be blamed on how rooted we are IN june's perspective in gf1 and 2. i don't think people really appreciate the fact that godfeels 1 is john threatening to commit suicide and almost going through with it. that's the context in which her friends react poorly to her coming out; i mean, she's literally sleeping on rose's couch because everyone's so worried about her! i think that, by being completely within june's perspective for all of these events, we don't really get a good sense of the interpersonal dynamics at play (probably because i didn't even really understand them myself until later). instead we just see people who should know better acting like dicks.
i think whether or not juneā€™s trickster arc is canonically palatable to you depends very much on whether or not you've had a dear friend disappoint you so much that you're no longer on speaking terms.
but if we want to reel this back from the abstract philosophical, maybe itā€™s enough to say that we just have different interpretations of these characters? theyā€™re not monoliths, you know. different people see different things in different characters. some folks get a lot out of hairclips june and thatā€™s okay. maybe i was a bitch about other peopleā€™s headcanons back in 2019 when redditors were calling me and my friends abusive pedophiles for liking vriska, but i gave up that fight when the redditors got what they wanted (to harass a group of queer creators offline and out of their jobs). if someone wants to woobify gamzee, whatever man, go right ahead. that ainā€™t my cup of tea and i personally donā€™t think thatā€™s very in character either, but thatā€™s why i donā€™t read it. it ainā€™t for me and thatā€™s fine. i like homestuck BECAUSE these characters can mean so many things to so many people. is this variability not precisely the thing that makes the postcanon era so interesting?
i have my idea of who these characters are based on who they were in the comic and i work very hard to keep them in character, but i also don't want them to be trapped in amber. i want them to grow and change and become different people, because homestuck itself is obsessed with inescapable absolute archetypes (ie the ultimate self, or the captchalogue system) and i enjoy troubling that. i enjoy swimming in a sea of weird problematic dilemmas. thatā€™s whatā€™s fun about fiction for me, you can think about and write about all the most difficult and even fucked up things you like, and it definitionally cannot cause real material nonconsensual harm to another human being. and yet we get so tied up in the question of harm anyway! maybe that makes sense when talking about marvel movies, but this is fanfiction weā€™re talking about. this is HOMESTUCK fanfiction. if i were to go on twitter right now and post ā€œhomestuck is goodā€ iā€™d end the day with at least five comments saying ā€œlol no itā€™s not.ā€ SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL HAVE HOMESTUCK AVATARS. there are few things as cringe as liking homestuck even among people who like homestuck, so who cares? i like homestuck, i like the epilogues, i like hs2, and i think a pretty gargantuan majority of this fandom are subliterate babies. thatā€™s why i donā€™t engage with them or make much of an attempt to bridge the gap. i think godfeels and its cool little fandom is all the better for how much work it requires of the reader to ā€œget itā€ as it were. i wish more people would give it a chance, or at the very least not immediately throw me and a lot of my friends under the bus at every possible opportunity, but what can you do? i just write. people will react how they will react. what matters to me is that it stays true to itself as a work, and that it grows with me and my audience and my collaborators. trying to backpedal or soften the edges would just ruin the whole thing, likely alienate my current readers and inevitably invite even more bad faith readings. no thanks!
some folks stop reading godfeels after june's trickster arc, and i can respect that. if you get to that part of the story and don't like it, chances are you're not gonna like the rest of it! and in that sense, i guess you could say i ā€œchoseā€ to have juneā€™s trickster arc happen so ā€œearly onā€ as a litmus test for the reader. as annoying as it can be feeling like iā€™m constantly having to address this exact issue, i vastly prefer it to a bunch of people hate-reading something that wasnā€™t made for them. but again, i didnā€™t know this was ā€œearly onā€ when i wrote it, because i didnā€™t plan it to happen. i didnā€™t intend for june to go on a killing spree, she just did it and i as writer decided, you know what? this is way more interesting than what i had planned. and then dirk became the antagonist because, oops, june coming out fucked up all the schemes he has that play out in the homestuck epilogues. and i guess in THAT sense, the palatability of godfeels depends on whether or not you liked and/or tolerated the homestuck epilogues and homestuck^2. these, too, are not for everyone. but godfeels is not a replacement for them, as some folks like to claim (god bless them). iā€™m not interested in rewriting homestuck or fixing its sequels. ok well thatā€™s not entirely true, i think the epilogues did jake REAL dirty and thatā€™s become a big focus of mine going forward. but even then, i donā€™t pretend the epilogues didnā€™t happen. in fact if youā€™ve read all of 3.1, you know just how cosmically important they end up being.
but this is, i guess, kind of the crux of the issue for me. juneā€™s trickster arc happens very early on in the story, yes, and thatā€™s deliberately challenging on a lot of levels. june spends a great deal of time being challenged by it herself! but folks who stop there (if they even make it that far) often act like the whole story is grimdark wish-fulfillment violence or me airing out my irrational hatred of Boys (????), and that's just not true. i donā€™t give a shit about that. we get to june's trickster arc at around the 25,000 word mark, out of the current grand total of over 400,000 words. her violence is functionally the prologue, and she spends the entire rest of this story suffering the consequences of those actions. so if i am frustrated with this line of questioning, a lot of it comes down to the fact that if you just read the rest of the story youā€™d see that i have in fact had all of the same thoughts youā€™ve likely had. i know people who think i did dirk dirty in gf2, and i actually kind of agree! which is why dirk comes back and has a difficult, complicated relationship with his past self. people complain about certain characters being ooc, which i can certainly understand because when i started godfeels i really did not have a great grasp on them! but also, if you kept reading godfeels youā€™d know that the tension of whether or not someone is cosmically ā€œin characterā€ is a huge running theme of this story. juneā€™s friends react poorly to her coming out in part because it seems out of character for her! hell, phenomenologically how *could* june be in character after coming out when she barely even knows who she is yet? her whole thing in gf1 is that she doesnā€™t know who she is anymore! just realizing that youā€™re trans changes you, changes how you see the world, how you relate to other people. or it did for me, anyway. risk, dare, X, angel dirk, and silverbark are all sorts of caught up in this question. and if youā€™ve gotten to the end of 3.1 youā€™ll know about the concept of denexustic radiation:
Tumblr media
and thatā€™s just the tip of the metaphysical iceberg. all of which is to say that this is a feature, not a bug. so itā€™s always very funny to me when people drop out so early on only to complain about the very same problematics that iā€™ve spent three years and 400,000 words exploring.
BUT. but. yeah godfeels 1 and 2 are messy. the gf3 prologue is very messy. itā€™s a serial narrative that has changed shape multiple times over the years, and barring a bit of polish on gf1 around when i started writing gf3 i generally refuse to go back and rewrite things. thereā€™s a lot i would do differently today, but if i had done it differently then the story as it is today would not exist. and i love this story! i might look back on gf2 and feel like itā€™s rushed and messy, but i know that it was the best i could do at the time. itā€™s a reflection of who i was as a writer then. i live with the ramifications of that for the same reason i donā€™t delete the old videos on my channel from before i came out/learned what communism was: because i donā€™t like to pretend that the present was always present. iā€™m a different person now, a different writer. i made mistakes, i learned, and i changed. i will continue this process for the rest of my natural life, as will you.
ultimately i guess my answer here is that godfeels is a flawed work written by a flawed person, and the extent to which readers relate to it seems to have a lot to do with how much their flaws overlap with mine. i get lots of people telling me my characters are in character. i get people telling me theyā€™re more in character than some canon! and itā€™s not that i weigh those comments as more valuable, i just see it as an indication of who my audience is. iā€™m not writing for people who want more hiveswap, and iā€™m certainly not writing for people who dismissed hs^2 out of hand. iā€™m just writing for myself and my friends, and it just so happens that some people seem to get a lot out of it.
iā€™m gonna close out here by actually finally directly addressing your question with what i think you were ultimately hoping for: some writing advice.
the rules donā€™t exist. there are things that can make some art better or some art worse but they are not universal. the rules are fake and if you hold every story you touch to those rules, youā€™re gonna have a bad time. a story is not static and it is never truly yours. you discover it. sometimes you can expand it or alter it in ways but, at least in my experience, doing so more often than not just kills the whole thing-- or at least demands a complete reconceptualization. all of which takes time, and we live in a world where taking time to get in touch with and hone your craft is considered sort of a bad economic decision. but art is what it is and it does what it does and we can either play with it or we can put it in a cage.
what i like about making art is that i am not entirely in control. i have my plans, my schemes, my ideas, but the fun of writing is just putting a bunch of characters in a room together and seeing what they do. quite often they do things i would never expect, that are far truer to their character than i anticipated. my experience has always been that the more you outline a story before you write it, the harder it is to actually write that story. when i know everything thatā€™s gonna happen on a moment to moment level, the whole thing falls dead on the page. but obviously you need to know SOME things! and iā€™ll say that from the inception of gf3 back in december 2019 to now, very very few of the broad strokes of my plans have changed. if youā€™ve read all of 3.1 you know thereā€™s a very specific timeline at play in the backstory of a group of characters weā€™ll be spending a lot of time with in 3.2. there are no questions or mysteries or whatever else iā€™ve introduced to this story that i did not have at least the sense of an explanation for. but these are simply bullet points that dictate the endpoint of a path and suggest something of the moral/philosophical/emotional arc that needs to occur in order to get there. the real meat of it comes out in the act of writing itself, and thatā€™s what iā€™m here for. itā€™s a gamble that doesnā€™t always pay off, and it does mean that i have almost 80,000 words of material i ended up rewriting or cutting sitting in a doc somewhere, but thatā€™s worth it for me.
if art is to be relevant, it must have the capacity to make an audience uncomfortable. if art is to be essential, it must have the capacity to demand a strong reaction (positive or negative) from everyone who sees it. if art is to be true, it must have the capacity to reflect the disquiet contradictions of simple existence that we desperately wish to ignore in our daily lives. that doesnā€™t mean everyone has to or should read difficult art, or like it, or make it. but it has always existed and it will always exist, and i think it is essential for writers and critics alike to learn to stop themselves from mistaking a common storytelling method for THE storytelling method. and frankly, most of the art i love most in this world is art that i didnā€™t particularly like the first time we crossed paths.
and lastly, never forget the inarguable truth that the audience bears quite a lot of responsibility in this equation. you are never, as a writer, inflicting anything on your reader, because your reader can always opt out at any moment they wish. if something doesnā€™t work, yeah, thatā€™s a problem you can fix. art is a conversation in that way, or at least ought to be. but at the same time, art has no obligation to be perfect, or smooth, or easy to consume. the rules are fake. they exist to be broken. the pursuit of perfection is a dead end. just make shit
okay this one has gone on QUITE long enough lmao i hope thereā€™s something useful in there for you somewhere and uhhhh i hope you enjoy the rest of godfeels if you havenā€™t already read it!

tiny lil violet anon here!! hh second guessing is really common w creatives (i would know.. i'm a digital artist) but i want you to know that you're probably one of my favourite fic writers and you actually inspired me to start working on a rocket x reader fic of my own a while back!!! (would you mind if i sent you my fic if i ever finished it?)
honestly, i dont think you have to worry about how well you capture rocket's voice bc honestly you're one of, if not the best i've readā€” your triptych day 17 fic was genuinely mindblowing for example?? your understanding of how different people write rocket is so in depth and the way you made all three renditions of rocket different but so clearly still rocket got me awestruck (do you have any tips on writing the 3 different rockets btw? i'd love to understand more about how you differentiate them! ><)
i remember reading the boring adventures of space pilot and sweatshirt girl for the first time after reading the rocket comics and thinking that helping rocket out on that ferry was exactly what i was hoping someone would write?? it was the fic i needed and didn't deserve LMAO literally every thing you've written has always filled a gap that i didn't know was there & didn't know i needed ā™”ā™”
sorry for the ridiculously long ask ^^; your work genuinely means so much to me and im totally in love with how you write rocketā€” while ik every artist doubts themselves, i want you to know that the work you create is so much better than you give yourself credit for!
tiny little violet nonnie!! (āøāøoĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·į·„ā€øoĢ“Ģ¶Ģ·Ģ„į·…āøāø) you precious sweet little flower. please donā€™t apologize for long asks - i love them (they just take a while for me to respond to). this was also so, so sweet, and the idea that any of my writing means a lot to you kinda makes me teary ā™”
i would love to read your fanfic! even if you donā€™t finish it! you can always send it my way via dms or share via ask if you wanna stay on anon. or post it and tag me ā™” the fact that i was able to inspire you a little bit is honestly one of the most lovely compliments i could receive and it is truly an honor
(ļ½”ā€¢Ģļøæā€¢Ģ€ļ½”)
iā€™m also so grateful that you enjoyed sweatshirt girl ā™” one of my favorite things about fanfiction is that it can give us the stories we need and deserve (or give us the opportunity to write them!). honestly reading grounded all i wanted to do was pick up that raccoon and take him home and feed him warm food and thatā€™s how sweatshirt girl happened ā™”o(ā•„ļ¹ā•„)oā™”
so part of the reason i took a long time to respond is because i was trying to really think about how i write the different rockets. and i decided i only have one ā€œtipā€ for you (or rather, one thing that worked for me and which i hope might also work for you.
but you know im gonna take ten paragraphs to get there!
tbh even though i refer to them by their respective authors, i donā€™t think ā€œi need to write rocket like skottie youngā€ or ā€œi need to write rocket like james gunn.ā€ i think ā€œi need to know rocket, and understand him, and figure out how he would react & interact in skottie youngā€™s galaxyā€ or ā€œin the mcu.ā€
my short tip for writing any character is understand what makes them tick. what drives them? what do they long for? how do they hurt? what do they fear? in what ways do their insecurities and survival mechanisms weave together and impact the way they see the world, interact with friends, protect themselves from enemies?
your best tool as a writer of characters is your ability to empathize with them.
know and love your characters the same way you do your best friends. as authors we are playing god with their world and their lives and itā€™s a little bit of a sacred responsibility to at least make sure we understand them as well as we can ā™”
so for rocket specificallyā€¦
fundamentally, my personal interpretation of rocket in any universe is someone with profound empathy, who feels pain very deeply. and since he hasnā€™t had the opportunity to like, see & practice healthy coping mechanisms lol, he has learned to survive by trying to hide that empathy and that pain under layers of calcification and sarcasm and spikes and blades. and it like, kinda works?? but sometimes it ends up hurting people who donā€™t deserve to be hurt and when he realizes that, the hidden empathy kicks in and he hates himself all over again.
and like many people, rocket also doesnā€™t really want to give up his pain. people tend to fight to keep their most hurtful memories or vulnerabilities locked inside. they build so much of their identities around them.
so the real question comes down to, what is each rocketā€™s source of pain? how does that impact how he interacts and thinks? what is his support system at the point in time that iā€™m like, crashing his party? how does that impact his interactions and thoughts?
skottie youngā€™s rocket gets laid, so heā€™s not going to be worried about seducing anyone tbh. heā€™s probably got the most confidence out of all the rockets, at least on the surface. geez, the 2014 run? itā€™s like. all about his copious ex-girlfriends and about heā€™s the only one of his kind in the whole universe. if i were gonna write a full fic based on skottie youngā€™s rocket, iā€™d base my foundation on the idea that the reason rocket has so many exes is because heā€™s constantly searching for something that he doesnā€™t believe exists (basically, someone who can make him feel not-alone) and he probably ends up sabotaging his chances every fuckin time he gets close.
ewingā€™s or rosenbergā€™s rocket? still canonically gets laid but has gotten treated like dirt enough times ā€” including being betrayed by people he trusts at various points ā€” that heā€™s always waiting for that to happen. and mcu rocket? that boy is so insecure about his worth on every level that if he has any pleasant interaction with anyone, heā€™s probably baffled about why the fuck itā€™s happening.
all this to say: how do you see (each) rocket? how does he move through the galaxy his authors creates for him? and how does that change when you step in and make something different for him?
itā€™s late here and my brain is foggy so iā€™m sorry if i didnā€™t fully and properly answer your question, sweet little violet .ļ½”ą¼…:*ļ¾Ÿ*:āœ¼āœæ all this to say that if i am successful at all in effectively communicating rocket, itā€™s more about studying (my interpretation of) who he is in each setting than studying a writerā€™s style, if that makes sense.
ahhh good night, little love. i am an old baba yaga and i must sleep

Episode 6 wahoo, I am ready for extreme pain rivalling and exceeding the end of OFMD
Battery operated candles! He learned fire safety, good job Mr. Fell
Aziraphale knows so much about human history and books and humanity, but he still understands so little about them
Bees
Crowley what is that walk šŸ¤£
YES MAGGIE girlboss them
Oh no she invited them oh no Maggie oh no
Poor Eric
ANGEL CROWLEY HISTORY ANGST HEHEHEHUHUE "Throne or a dominion, or above"
Let's goooo magic heaven telephone circle!
That's the opposite of the Lil Nas X Call me by your Name video
He said "Nah"
Ohhh Crowley's snake tattoo in gold, gorgeous
Surely she's down to like 10 demons now after they all got discorporated?
The fire extinguishers stock šŸ¤£ part of me is remembering the library of Alexandria comic and also 4dango's Haikaveh angst but I will just pretend those thoughts do not exist
"Jolly well hurry up about it" where's that gun you have a license for when you need it?
What if holy water fire extinguishers
This institutional problem bit is a metaphor for something but my after work brain cells are not enough to figure it out
The Metatron... The Master... I see you BBC
They're so surprised he has a desk lol
So Gabriel's plan was actually pretty decent then, he just didn't tag in the people who were part of it. And I'm still hanging onto Beelzebub having similar sentiments of dissatisfaction with the wishing for positive words of affirmation in hell
The Metatron went "ok good luck with Gabriel, his disappearance is your problem not mine"
IS HE UNLEASHING HIS TRUE FORM
Oh my god it's a ringlight frisbee
Rip Eric again
Crowley just falls into a leadership position, natural girlboss āœØ meanwhile his husband starts a war but we can ignore that
The way his smirk turns on hehehe
So everyone's an idiot then
I like how Nina and Maggie are just chilling in the background
The fly is bigger on the inside? Or is he going to eat it like All Might's hair
Eyyy Beel face explanation! Also Gabriel x Beelzebub canon we love to see it
So Beelzebub said they liked the song and then Gabe inexplicably made it play forever then?
Ah no it was intentional ;) He miracled the jukebox to play their song
When the fly showed up in the first episode I KNEW it would have an important role. I got faked out with Beel showing up in Crowley's car though.
"Silly silly angel" bro??? Have you been hanging out with Crowley too much
So all the leadership are traitors LMAO, also Crowley and Zira in the back watching their bosses do what they forbid them from doing all this time.
"I found something that mattered more to me than choosing sides" INEFFABLE HUSBANDS DID IT FIRST
Crowley's proud little smile watching Aziraphale handle the host of heaven and hell like kindergarteners :)
Oh my god Beelzbriel are so cringe, I love it
Ohhhh so Shax took Crowley's flat, that makes sense why she has all his mail now hahahaha
LOL is that The Metatron in the coffee line?
Crowley knows where everything in the bookshop goes and is putting it all back šŸ˜Œ
So Nina calls Maggie "Angel" now too, eh?
Muriel my baby I will protect you with all my heart
NO THEY'RE GONNA GET OFMDed
It's even worse they're gonna get Destieled aren't they
But Aziraphale wasn't THERE when any of the heaven people showed their true colours!!! Crowley sees heaven and hell for what they are but Aziraphale still believes in inherent good šŸ˜­
NOOO CROWLEY IS GOING TO GET CASTIELED DON'T DO THIS TO ME
Can I also just say, David Tennant's acting holy shit, the super subtle facial changes, the shaking throat, my GOD
All he's wanted was to go off together with his angel all this time!!!! AHHHH
the fuck do you mean NOTHING LASTS FOREVER? YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS AZIRAPHALE COME ON
the put the glasses back on FUCK
You don't get it Aziraphale, you don't Understand šŸ˜­ He needs you too!! But it has to be on both your terms not just yours,,, meet him where he stands! It's been so long surely you know him better than this
NO NIGHTINGALES
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
yeah I saw the kiss I'm not ok
the fuck do you mean I FORGIVE YOU???!!! This hurts more than destiel and blackbonnet
LMAO Muriel in the window watching all this go down
what was he going to say before The Metatron walked out, was he going to change his mind??? What did he want to take with him, PLEASE
THE SECOND COMING? I've read the bible I'm raised religious I know what the fuck that means, Aziraphale PLEASE tell me you've read enough books to know what that means and that it's NOT GOOD for your little life and your husband and your book shop šŸ˜­
Oh ok his face fell. there is still time. change your mind, goddammit don't ignore Crowley he is looking at you disapprovingly for a reason, USE YOUR HEAD! please.
Crowley bared his heart just to get betrayed right after, this is his superhell
The Bentley with her sense of humour, girlie why are you playing Nightingale in Berkeley Square now of all times
THE SAD VIOLIN CREDITS DON'T DO THIS TO ME
Why did he smile at the end, what does it all mean,,, Amazon better pay their employees I need season 3

Watching the Rise of the Titans movie and I'll be documenting all of my thoughts/reactions here. [Spoiler Warning]
So instead of reblogging every new update, I'm just going to have this post up on my phone as I watch and type my reactions in a bullet list format.
Nari's human disguise is so cute. As someone who does have a cottagecore aesthetic, I want to cosplay her so bad
Are Skrael and/or Belroc non-binary coded? Regardless, I'm also obsessed and I want to fuck Skrael and be Belroc.
STEVE CARING ABOUT JIM BEING HURT YESSSS!!! My god his redemption has probably been one of the greatest there is because he doesn't just suddenly go from being a bully to a completely good person. You can see the gradual shift in learning better throughout the shows which is awesome.
IN NEW YOOOOOOORRRRRRRK!!!!!! CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!
The mugshot montage reminded me of season 1 of trollhunters when toby and Jim were arrested at the museum.
STRICKLER PUT A RING ON IT??? HE'S THE ONLY DILF IVE EVER ACTUALLY AGREED WAS HOT WYM I CAN'T HAVE HIM??? well I'm still really happy about his arc over the series probably one of my favorite character growths.
Eli my guy got his growth spurt!!! As an 18 year old who is still 5'0", I'm happy but envious for him
So I went into this movie without watching any trailers or promo, but I doubt anything could have prepared me for the existence of mpreg. In fact, I wasn't going to document my reactions until I saw that.
NAMURA!!!!!!!!! MY BELOVED!!!!!! I CAN STILL THIRST FOR YOU WITHOUT GUILT
The coach teacher just called the kids zoomers so I have to dock one point from my final rating just because of that. Unforgivable
Those husky animation models suck lmao
Oh fuck the titans got power ranger zords!!
God why did they include the mpreg??? This movie would have been perfect without it.... After that plot point being revisited only one time I'm already beyond done with it
Like it's bringing me back to the v*ltron days where they're was a suspiciously high amount of klance omegaverse and mpreg fics and art created and it physically hurts because Steve and Keith's voice actor is the same person meaning this is especially cursed to me since I was unfortunately in the v*ltron fandom and remember all of that
But like on another note, how old are these characters again??? I haven't checked any wikis because of spoilers but is Steve an adult??? I know aja might be technically a lot older than 18 because alien but is whatever age she is equivalent to an adult as far as emotionally and physically in Akaridion development??? IS THIS A TEEN (M)PREGNANCY IN A KIDS SHOW????
Like bruh I saw a singular post on here before going into the movie that was like "rott spoilers without context" and there was a pregnant belly but I was absolutely not expecting the actual context of it. I'll find the post after I finish and edit this post to tag the creator right here: @makoden
This entire post is just gonna be me ranting about mpreg huh
Anyway I love the whole roundtable allusion to the legends of king arthur (not the toa version but the one he's based off)
THERE'S 3 TO 5 BABIES????? I need to take a break bruh this is just too much
Alright I've taken a 30 minute break got some food and did some things i love (decompressed by tactile stimming with some owl plushies and watched some videos on my favorite owl, Garu. He lives in Japan with his owner and is a domesticated eagle owl who basically just acts like a sky cat. If anyone else needs some eye bleach, here is their YouTube channel)
Blinky and ARRRGHHH!!! saying their "if one of us doesn't make it" talk my god one of them is going to die I can see it and I will be utterly crushed. Jim can't lose another father figure and Toby can't lose his wingman again I will riot if this happens
On a similar but unrelated to the movie note, can we just talk about how toa started with Jim having 0 dads and (if strickler and blinky live to the end) will end with 2 dads? Like I just really feel happy for him that he has two dads who actually figured out how to put the past behind them to not have any infighting between them so that both of them are healthy father figures. Jim has already been through literal hell and back losing his actual humanity in the process so if he loses one of them, I'm going to be really pissed because at this point, this is just Jim torture porn. Y'all know how as SpongeBob SquarePants went on, the show just became Squidward torture porn? It's starting to feel that way for toa and I really hope they cut the shit by the ending
Jlaire is such a good ship but like I feel like it's too perfect they never disagree with each other
YESSSSSSS Someone finally doesn't treat toby like a fat waste of space who messes stuff up!!! I think out of all the characters that would have been most deserving of a rewrite, it's Toby. Sometimes I just feel he's only comic relief and any heartfelt moments he's had in the series was also born of stupidity (ie his flour baby project being unharmed was seen by him as divine intervention from his parents but was actually just Eli and Steve behind the scenes).
Ohhhhh yesssssss Archie's father!!! I was hoping I'd see him again because we got so little of him last
Ooooooooooh Asian trollmarket!!!!!
Oh never mind slavery trollmarket
Bruh titanic camelot
I feel like we're not seeing enough of the villains because I completely forgot about the power ranger zord things
NAMORA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LAST CRUSHHHH
STRICKLER NO NOT YOU TOO PLEASE
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY TWO CHARACTERS I SIMP FOR ON THIS SHOW DIED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF EACH OTHER
THAT WHOLE ASS RANT I WROTE IS COMING TRUE FUCK THIS MOVIE THIS SERIES IS JUST JIM TORTURE PORN
WAIT JIM'S SPERM DONOR INFO?
Oh thank God I don't want to know anything about that person
For the record, I call that man Jim's sperm donor because he has no business being called a father to him. All he did was donate some swimmers to the creation of him and give him abandonment issues
Oh another blind troll elder???? This fucker is just if vendel was a bad guy
Bruh I was grieving
PACIFIC RIM WITH GUN ROBOT VEX AND THE BELROCZORD? I've never seen that movie but I know the reference
Bruh Blinky doesn't read horoscopes? Does he realize conspiracy theories are just the manly version of horoscopes?
NO DON'T KILL VEX STOP KO-ING FOUND FAMILY MEMBERS
Oh thank God he's okay
NO NOT ARCHIE AND CHARLEMAGNE OH MY GOD
oh never mind they're just gonna coup de tat I believe in them :))
But I want to see him again
But I'm glad to see vex
Yay they're in arcadia!
But yeah I wondered why the trolls and Merlin didn't keep the whole "daylight doesn't hurt trolls" feature from the eternal night but now Guillermo del Toro I see you were playing the long con in that just to kill my girl Namora :(((
Oooooh I love the animation of the Narizord over Chihuahua!! It looks very good and realistic (if only they could have put some of that into those huskies from before smh)
Bruh the character designs of the arcane order are so good I want to be them
Nari making sure the Skraelzord doesn't crush the bus
DAMN DOUBLE HOMICIDE
Bruh I'm just glad we finally have an answer on why arcadia had everything going on as opposed to literally anywhere else!! I always found that as a weird coincidence for plot convince.
BRUH WERE BACK TO THE MPREG IM SO JEALOUS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF MY LOVELIES.
Oh that's real convenient that the ninth configuration meant all of them. Way to not decide which character gets more attention. Though it probably was a smart way to not have any infighting in the fandom between each character's stan group.
Bruh I just realized where is Barbera did they just ditch her on the Camelot ship???
And where are the other trolls that migrated at the end of trollhunters s3? They said something about new jersey but obviously Jim and the other main characters got on Camelot instead.... This feels like a plot hole
And we never learned the process of how changelings are made and bonded to humans and stuff. We just know it's super painful but I'm curious ffs!!!!
THE DONT THINK BECOME HERO SPEECH ALL SAID TOGETHER!!!
BRUH THEY REALLY HAD TO SHOW HIM GIVING BIRTH??????? WAS THAT AN ABSOLUTE MUST??????
Plus the main audience for this series is little children (the rating for the movie is literally TV-Y7) so even though my adult ass is not in the target audience, I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD MPREG AND ANAL BIRTH WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT THING TO 7 YEAR OLDS???? THIS IS A LITERAL FETISH HIDDEN IN KIDS CONTENT ITS ELSAGATE ALL OVER AGAIN Y'ALL šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Though it's probably hypocritical of me to think fetishes don't belong in kids tv when I've openly admitted to thirsting for strickler and namora
HUZZAH
NEW AMULET WAZ GOOD????
STAB THAT BITCH JIM
WAIT NO I SAID STAB NOT GET STABBED
Alright good job just missed the directions at first but you fixed it
SEVEN KIDS?????????
T O B Y ????????????
W A I T NO
N O
IS HE ACTUALLY
OH MY GOD THERE'S HOPE
NO THERE ISN'T
F U C K THIS SHIT THEY REALLY JUST HAD HIM TO BE BULLIED THEN KILLED
Y'ALL IM ACTUALLY CRYING THIS NEVER HAPPENS
I NEVER ACTUALLY GET SO EMOTIONAL OVER MEDIA THAT I CRY IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE AT THE END OF VOLTRON BUT AHHHHHHHH
W A I T
HE'S GONNA BE BROUGHT BACK?????
HOLD UP THEY'RE JUST GONNA BRING ALL THOSE DEAD PEOPLE BACK??????
WAIT IS HE
BLINKY CALLED HIM A SON
HOLD ON IS THIS GOING TO BE A CLIFFHANGER???????????
BRUH THEY REALLY JUST CAN'T END THE SERIES WITHOUT CLIFFHANGERS like there's always an open ending
TROLLHUNTER TOBY????? You know what forget the whole rants I had on how toby was written they just redeemed it all
And that's all! I'd rate it a 6.5/10 because it's definitely the weakest of all the sequels but still had amazing animation and some good plot points. It's just really hard to look over the bad stuff enough to rate it any higher.

Ok you said only if we felt super nice
BUT I'm actually very curious of Nib, but i barely know anything about them(?)
So, how about Nib helping Ingo and Emmet reunite? Or some dynamic with the 3 of them so we can get to know Nib better.
Also, Nib's fav pokemon?
Don't forget to get a snack and rest.
Thanks!
LONG POST WARNING MOSTLY TEXT IM SO SORRY HFDSHFSDHFS nonnie u set me off smh. fool. goofball. VERY sorry to everyone who spots this in tags: i am tagging it for my own organization purposes. weeps
nib uses it/its pronouns! originally it was it/they, but the preference for "it" prns is so strong that i just eliminated the "they" option for the most part. :]
Tumblr media
as for fave pokemon: it can't really Pick a Favorite, though its favorite TYPE of pokemon is bug types, followed closely by ghost! it had a ninjask and a shedinja before the events of hisui, and it also had an orbeetle, and if nib HAD to pick a favorite pokemon it'd probably choose orbeetle!!! (this applies specifically to pre-hisui nib, of course, because it doesn't remember any of its life or its pokemon during the events of hisui.)
its own orbeetle isn't actually a battle pokemon at all, even though they do sometimes train together in fights for fun. orbeetle's singular role was as a service pokemon, fully trained and licensed. it used its psychic powers to translate nib's sign language for people who don't understand sign language.
its favorite pokemon in hisui miiiight be sneasel or weavile (WEAVILE COUNTS), though that's a hard turn from its usual preferences and nib is very uncertain. it adores kriketune and parasect, and it LOVES its typhlosion, and its espeon wisteria is a big fave as well.
i went and immediately tried to go overboard with nib content, because im. sighs. i dont limit myself ever. so instead of real actual doodles ur getting two janky-ass thumbnailed comic pages at an extremely low resolution because i thumbnail at super low resolutions lmao. i'll explain what's going on (and i do plan on finishing them soon, brain be willing) and im not sticking it below a cut because this is MY blog and i do what i WANT. i am sorry to disappoint wrt doodles tho fhfdhHFDHFSD
Tumblr media
so. page one is ingo and emmet sitting on a couch in their shared apartment, probably talking about trains, when they get a knock on their door. and that's probably when they realize, like, ah, shit, it's late. emmet answers it and is met with a nervous-looking nib! i didn't draw it, but orbeetle is probably there. emmet greets nib, nib apologizes for disturbing them and asks if he knows sign language, and emmet happily signs and speaks an affirmative, then asks if nib needs him to sign.
in the second page, nib explains (via sign) that it can hear fine, then proceeds to ask them to please be a little quieter because its parents are getting annoyed, then apologizes. emmet reassures it that it's okay and that they'll keep it down, nib thanks him, and then nib leaves. the final three pages are emmet feeling SOOO awkward and embarrassed as he closes the door, and then he looks at ingo like "bro we are so loud" and ingo is just like "ah. oops."
ANYWAY SO. UM. NIB.... LIVED IN UNOVA BEFORE IT GOT DRAGGED TO HISUI. it is actually next door neighbors with ingo and emmet, and they never really interacted beyond polite nods and smiles and ingo complimenting nib's ninjask once, to which nib got embarrassed and it bolted lmao. but after the events of that thumbnail comic, ingo spots nib the next day and approaches to apologize for the noise again, and nib is like "its ok i actually like overhearing you talk about trains!!!" and then asks them to confirm some fact it overheard them discussing, and that causes ingo to infodump a bit right then and there.
they become friends for realsies after that. :] nib is, like, 13 at this point in time, and it gets yoinked to hisui when it's 14, but that whole year before then is spent hanging out and having tea with ingo and emmet sometimes and Infodumping About Trains. while ingo and emmet's special interests wrt trains is geared a little bit more towards the history of unova's trains and nimbasa's subway system, nib's special interest is focused more on train engines and types.
ingo and nib see one another for the first time in hisui and, although neither of them have their memories, they absolutely find some strange sense of familiarity in one another. nib thinks it might be because ingo is the only person in all of hisui who knows the sign language nib knows, and ingo doesn't know What to think
there's a lot im leaving out but i kind of. broke the rules and rambled more than i drew. im sorry hfdhhfds thank u for this ask :']

Welcome to my art blog~!
This is where you see all the fun stuff from me, ur favorite host, Marley! hehe :)
(#Marbars2024Ā is the current art tag!)
Hereā€™s a run-down of the tags used around here if youā€™re looking for something specific (there are a lot of tags I apologize lmao):
#PreMiiverse = any art I can dig up before I was 10 years old
#Miiverse = my art during the golden age of my childhood lmao
You also have art from years 2017 onward that will usually go by #Marbars2017 and so on, yā€™all know Miiverse collapsed by then
#MarbarsDoodlesĀ = Where all the nondigital sketchbook doodles, paintings, and just irl stuff I make goes. If I remember what year I made it
#MarbarsWritesĀ = Where all the writing stuff goes like fanfiction, poetry, etc.
Story specific Tags:
#The_Verse = Basically what I call the lore during Miiverse,Ā ā€œThe Verseā€ or just ā€œVerseā€ is the world some of my OCs used to reside in. Not all miiverse drawings will have this tag, but if it does I consider it to be canon to what happens in the Verse. #The_Canto = This is the lore after Miiverse/The Verse,Ā ā€œThe Cantoā€ or justĀ ā€œCantoā€ is a world that my persona creates as a safe place and a continuation of stories from the Verse.Ā  #Golden Eyes = Itā€™s a power that my persona has that will make some appearances. It also comes with plenty of cool tricks and definitely some lore :) #Marlin Fools/April Fools = Ah April Fools, itā€™s such a tricky holiday lol. This is a storyline I do every year featuring the Genderbent Dimension, where Marlin takes over my social media for a week. Dimentio is also a featured character, usually wreaking havoc with his deadly vacation ideas... #Halloween Madness = Spooky month...I love Halloween! The colors, the candy, not to mention the scary transformations--wait what? This is a relatively new thing Iā€™m doing for every October where everybody gets a new coat of Halloween paint...and even featuring a certain green bean... #Life of the Soul Sister = A Velva-centric spinoff where she travels around the world of Canto (and maybe even other worlds too, with the assistance of some dimensional hoppers) to help those in need, and even help herself. The only power she has is her words, will that be enough to get through the day? #Journeys of Chaos = A MaraDERP-centric spinoff where she wreaks havoc across the dimensions, recruiting chaotic beings such as herself to form a little family/team of her own. As she learns what it means to be a leader, a certain cosmic entity of order watches over her band of misfits. Stardra, a mere grunt of an organization is given orders from her superiors to wipe out MaraDERPā€™s group and replace their personalities to fit what these space beings see as ā€œperfect and orderlyā€. With a battle between Chaos and Order breaking out, what will happen to these two former friends? #Talk in Action! = A Cellcia and Sprite-centric spinoff where they both host a talk show, with guests of all shapes and sizes. This wacky show comes with its own dubious surprises as we not only get to see their wit, but their strength too. Fights ensue, and then after the day is done, we get to learn about our characters and how their life-long friendship as evolved...Ā  #Frostbite = An Ice and Carnation-centric spinoff where we explore a hybrid species in Canto. Humans, but with the powers of the elements. Exploring what it means to be one of these, Ice, struggles to make people open their hearts and accept her kind of people. #Minty Frazzles = My M&L series comic! A love letter to the series that gave me...uh...the one I love! Fawful! There isnā€™t any issues of it atm as Iā€™m a one-band team and Iā€™m still working on the concept of it, but I have tons of doodles! Itā€™s about a girl named Minty meeting Fawful after the events of Bowserā€™s Inside Story, and their journey to become friends and then...something more?? Things start out real rocky, but it gets better as time passes on. While these two are a huge part of the comic, I also want to make sure this REALLY feels like a M&L side story. :) #Fawful Night Funkin AU = This is a FNF AU of Minty Frazzles, where the story takes a more musical turn. Fawful, looking into the ways of controlling the masses, observes that people tend to obey music...specifically funky rapping. Heā€™s got the musical talent, but with him being absolutely terrible at singing, he looks for a singer to fill his spot. Minty, a rapper hobbyist, accidentally runs into the bean, and is immediately lovestruck and wants nothing more than to impress him, perhaps even get a toothy kiss! ...Even if it means world conquest through song. #Fawful Menthos = Uhhh a very edgy AU of Minty Frazzles whose concept is still in the works. But itā€™s a what if situation: if Fawful did conquer the world during BIS? What if Minty was caught in the middle of this conquest? ...What if Fawful was lovestruck instead of Minty when they first meet? The story has a major overhaul and is a lot darker in tone (like a lot more death and a 3-way war lmao), but if one thing didnā€™t change was the fact that love is complicated. Especially if they were planning on stabbing each other in the back.
#MF Childhood AU = An AU based on the concept: ā€What if Fawful and Minty met as children?ā€ Take a dive into a more wholesome version of the ship youā€™ll get to know and love, to see Mintyā€™s involvement during Superstar Saga through Bowserā€™s Inside Story. And...youā€™ll even see fankids in this AU. Because of course I would make fankids for this ship even if theyā€™re not technically canon-- #Smoker Toad RP = My very very very big fanfiction thatā€™s in the works, it features the main character of Smoker Toad, a 35 year-old Toad who was the formally named Bucken-Berry that used to save the Princess over and over again. He saved her so many times...in the same ways...it felt like it was all staged. And being a famous star came with its own set of problems. Not wanting to live in the lies of fame, he moves out of Toad Town and into the depths of Neo Bowser City. Down on his luck, he falls into addiction, which is where the nickname comes from. But just as things look real grim, Smoker finds his chance to be the true hero he always wanted to be. And it all starts with an encounter with a group of misfits, and a villain mastermind plagued by the dead. (And this is all just part 1! This also gets a part 2!) #Camentio AU = A lighthearted alternate universe of Smoker Toad RP where the roles of Fawful and Dimentio has been switched. Personality swaps and have been applied to the rest of the cast. Now with a tale of a shyer Casadora falling in love with Dimentio, a new story starts to form. (Camentio is the name of the ship btw! Itā€™s the biggest change of the AU so thatā€™s why itā€™s named after it) #Smoker Toad Future = This canonically takes place 25 years in the future after the events of Smoker Toad RP part 2, where the children of the usual cast are the main characters. I donā€™t have too many stories planned but itā€™s more of a fun way to continue the series even after everyone is old lmao. #Noncanon = This tag is where drawings I do that arenā€™t considered canon to any universe (so old drawings, one-shot stuff, and crossover stuff) belongs here.
Thereā€™s also OC tags as well, some lived in Verse (previously) but now live in Canto (so far):
MarleyMarbar (Art that contains my persona character)
VelvaFircas
MaraDERP
CellciaSnapper
SpriteNite
IceSirius
CarnationLibitr
AriaOmega
Stardra
RaindropBluu
KukuZee (This is my gfā€™s OC Iā€™m allowed to use for shipping purposes)
Any genderbent version of these characters get (GB) added at the end.
Minty Frazzles characters tags (so far):
Minty(MF)
Fawful(MF)
Chilli(MF)
Salem(MF)
Midbus(MF)
Velvina(MF)
Frost(MF)
Pepper(MF)
Spear(MF)

Thanks for the tag! Am finally getting to this after not logging in for a few weeks! Seeing everyoneā€™s different experiences is always really nice, alongside knowing that the game brought so many people together is insane. Rambling incoming under the cut!
What was your first impression of the game? Is this the first Cybird game you've ever played? My first impression was HOLY SHIT I NEED TO MUTE THIS EVERYTIME I OPEN IT... lol jk even though the intro voice was a jump scare initially. I've always been a sucker for vampires and the theme genuinely intrigued me, alongside the historical figures part of it. I started playing Vamp and Prince around the same time, so I'm unsure which one I technically started first. Both are reading 231 days atm!
Who was the character you liked most in the beginning, and is he still your fave? Leonardo Leonardo Leonardo... He's still one of my favorites but it's impossible for me to choose one overall favorite. Him and Arthur are probably my top 2 lol.
How you picked your first route, and whose route was it? Was your favorite suitor available when you first started playing? Leonardo! Since I started playing under a year ago, the only suitors not yet available were Charles and Faust. The reason I chose him was because I was curious about his character past the smoke (pun NOT originally intended...) and mirrors of the quick introduction we had in the prologue.
An unavailable route you're looking forward to: I'm looking forward to Charles' route to learn more about his character. In other routes he's shown this aloof side that definitely has an underlying sad and just desperate undertone. Not to mention who Charles was as a historical figure... Can't wait to bawl my eyes out!
A character you thought would be different than how he is: For this one I'm thinking Dazai. He has so many layers as a character often used majorly for comic relief in other routes. And knowing that's due to his attentiveness and all the emotion he's harboring deep down inside... šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
Is there a suitor who you used to dislike, but eventually changed your opinion about? I feel like playing Vincent's route early on without having really any idea about Shakespeare is just straight up character assassination for the guy. Obviously Will is the "villain" in a lot of other routes too but man it was painful especially in Vincent's. Like that ending... But I mean obviously in Shake's main route you get the whole idea of his character and understand it better, and now he's one of my favorite characters. I think I also initially had a hard time with Mozart's character but he's so much more than his cold exterior (obviously Nat! LMAO...)
Do you remember your first story event? I actually don't. I DO remember joining sometime around the Cinderella themed collection event I think?
Have you ever spent money on the game? Have you tried the free diamonds offers? My wallet is screaming at me... but so far I actually haven't spent yet for this game. I'm sure that will change soon, since I have done a little bit in Prince+Sengoku... but I have done some diamond offers. Even before this game, I had a history of churning some Tapjoy offers out with some rhythm games I played lol...
Do you have a favorite avatar item? Is it a plushie or maybe a unique hairstyle? I really like the hairstyle from the Premium Story in Ch. 10 of Faust's route. Also saw this hairstyle someone had on their avatar a while back that I loved so much but idk if I'll ever figure out where it's from LOL... Other than that I really adore both of the fashion set dresses in Sebastian and Leonardo's Ch. 24 Normal Stories.
Have you ever bought merch of your favorite ikevamp character? Not yet! But I have made some bracelets based on the suitors, just from my boredom lol...
Have you ever mistakingly spent your stamina not in the story event? I literally did it yesterday sobs...
What's the luckiest you've ever been when it comes to the gacha? What about your most unlucky memory? My luck is alright. I think one time I got a free limited gacha token from a collection event and used it to get a five star Nap. But on the latest Threads of Fate banner run I got a dupe 5 star Vlad when I only have three of the lim cards lol ;-;
The slowliest you've ever completed a route vs the quickest: Quickest was definitely Faust because I had been saving up tickets for a tiny window of time. Slowest maybe would be Jean's route since Faust came out while I was in the middle of his so I jumped routes ;-;
Do you use your 5 free chapter tickets daily? Yeah, for the most part.
A moment in a route that made you cry and a moment in a route that made you laugh: There are so many tearjerkers ugh... Right after the final confrontation in Arthur's route where him and MC have that heart to heart??? That time in Vlad's route where he's like "I only ever make you cry..." GAHHHHHHHH. It's the same with funny parts though. I genuinely couldn't stop laughing in Vincent's route when they fall off the sofa and Theo and Arthur come charging in LMAOOO.
Who is your favorite pureblood vampire? Love all of them but Leo was my first and has a special place in my heart!
Do you have a favorite CG? What about a favorite card? Story wise, I love Arthur's Dramatic ending CG, it's so adorable. I love Vincent's 2nd Birthday CG too... as for cards I absolutely adore the Thread of Fate series.
Any famous historical figures you wished were in ikevamp? I swear this is one of those questions you usually have an answer for but when you get asked, your head draws a blank... I'm clueless lol. Maybe it would be nice to have another musician in the house?
What card is currently on your home screen in the game? I've got Vlad's Red Thread of Fate currently front and center.
What do you think about the suitors' pets? Which one is your favorite? They're all so cute that it's painful! But I adore Puck, Vic and Lumiere... I usually have any pets I have from any routes just hanging in my avatar's room all the time LOLLLL...

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.
For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell
fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one
i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft
that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you
tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again
as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)
hear me out hear me out, red hood stans šŸ¤ nightwing stans t h i g h s
holy shit yes.
SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe
superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'
does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom
it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.
I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?
as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)
somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.
and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!
babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence
babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to
JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT
again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song
The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian
oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag
soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"
i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage
Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?
don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)
What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk
stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.
This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it
Tumblr media
This is canon now @nctxrejects
lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out
idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family
bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another
I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.
yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.
Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings
smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn
Duke was adopted by Bruce?
not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?
True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live
true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?
apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome
ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.
ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut
lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash
oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man
while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.
dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie
magnum hot take
hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth
thank you šŸ˜˜šŸŒ· (@spacebarsidecar)
why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???
what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones
oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no
I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked
yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends
"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 šŸ˜¬ It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years
i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.
BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them
lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.
I am in love with your posts your honour thank you
omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?
The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasnā€™t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john
Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian
yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.
tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.
and what about it?
when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST
oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat
Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes
lmao i do too
I need you to know that ā€œBruce Wayne had frosted tipsā€ is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time itā€™s so galaxy brained. youā€™re right and you should say it
he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.
you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank
babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)
ruh roh i think iā€™m about to add ā€œso not yeehawā€ every time i donā€™t like something
that's a very good vocabulary upgrade
somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like ā€œoh you fucked up iā€™m never gonna forget thisā€
steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.
Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious
babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks
In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97
lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)
You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.
bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers
How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?
horrible, next question.
I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid
yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'
I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.
superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time
bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)
lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)
Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje
he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'
I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??
i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way
SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed
'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'
i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam
fair enough

wip ask meme
Kindly tagged by @sullustangin, thanks so much!
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP Ā folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send Ā  Ā you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a Ā little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as Ā many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this Ā  Ā one!) This isnā€™t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD Ā campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!Ā 
Oh boy. Can I actually remember them all? Bold of anyone to assume I have a folder. Iā€™m a trash gremlin who lives off of Google Docs, okay? So letā€™s goooo!!!!
Iā€™m not sure how many lovelies I have to tag vs how many WIPs I will uncover on this trek, so Iā€™m just gonna throw out some names for friends with absolutely no pressure and also if you see this and you wanna do it, feel free to declare yourself tagged by me xD Also if youā€™d like me to tag you in stuff like this, feel free to shoot me a message or an ask because I know thereā€™s plenty of you in my notes, but Iā€™m usually shy about starting conversation so I donā€™t want to bother anyone with tags that donā€™t like it, so I tend to err on the side of caution and leave these general.
@firelightmuse @fatewalker-phoenix @traveler-of-light @ffxivbabey @captainderyn
And, without further ado, letā€™s see what I can cook up here!
(I did, in fact, find more than I thought I would. As seems inevitable, lol).
SWTOR
Iā€™m actually... better than I have been about WIPs and stuff in the past thanks to getting into SWTOR and writing for it because one (1) night it was midnight and I decided that my Tyr x Theron brainrot had to go SOMEWHERE so it might as well be AO3. So, in my attempts to continue embracing that philosophy of just sharing to share, a lot of what I write for SWTOR tends to be posted the day I finish it or a bit later if I need to let it marinate for elaboration or editing purposes. But I do have some. Of course I do.
ā€œthrough passionā€
ā€œcheck the mirrorā€
ā€œlessonsā€
ā€œchase the lightā€ sort of swtor, sort of just... inspired by swtor. but very heavily influenced by my swtor experience, so weā€™ll put this one here.
ā€œarena grand posterā€ (aka ā€˜girl help i have an idea thatā€™s probably above my current skill ceiling; this is a backburner project that one day, i might get to, one day i might not. weā€™ll see. but i still think about it a lot, lol)
does wanting to get back to charcoal portraits count? practicing on my swtor ocs? the sheer idea of it??? another girl help above my current skill level thing, but, hey, the way to get there is practice so i need to start on something, might as well be blorbos from my video games
FFXIV
ā€œdonā€™t say goodbyeā€
ā€œwhat followsā€
ā€œlike shattered glassā€
ā€œedenā€™s verse reminiscenceā€ (omg hi i forgot you existed??? what is this???)
ā€œproceedings interruptedā€ (this is. borderline original but heavily inspired by xiv content, so once again, oddball but iā€™ll put it here)
okay god now weā€™re getting into the stuff i havenā€™t looked at in moons, oh boy
ā€œcherishā€
ā€œdesireā€
ā€œour answerā€
ā€œwhere we belongā€
DRAGON AGE
They technically exist. Nothing I have written for DA has ever seen light of day outside of Discord DMs. But since you asked nicely, lol
ā€œguideā€
ā€œand if you close your eyes...ā€
ā€œma melava halaniā€ (donā€™t ask me to translate that, i thought i knew what i was doing then but i donā€™t know if i trust me now, lmao)
--
Okay, if I dig any deeper into Google Docs, I have no idea what weā€™ll find, but man I found some finished stuff I havenā€™t seen in ages, too, so this was a fun trip either way, lol!

CHARACTER INSPIRATION | CHALLENGE
Rules: Write up a blurb or make a visual collage of the people or characters (from books, TV shows, movies, etc.) that inspired your OC, either visually, personality wise, or just a general vibe.
UM I spent like 2 days on this because I kept changing things around, but here it is!!! Thank you so much @natolesims for tagging me šŸ’– I LOVE stuff like this. I did my generation 5 heirs (yes I said heirs) and their other halves. Deeper dive is under the cut if youā€™re interested (itā€™s long, warning!).
I tag: @ashubii, @zosa95, @queenofmyshuno, @spannersims, @void-imp, @samssims, @nectar-cellar, and @mosneakers~
Gnat
Alina: Headstrong with a bit of awkwardness, Gnat is not afraid to make waves and challenge others. Like Alina, sheā€™ll fight for those who she loves and she has a strong moral compass.
Phoenix: Both are extremely dorky, but somehow incredibly competent. They have a strong sense of what is right and wrong, and a little bit of naivety. That optimism in people can get them in trouble though. Also, they love arguing, heh.
Elle: Intelligent, popular, beautiful, and stubborn. What more can I say? Both of them have a lot of drive, and will do things out of spite constantly! Who knew spite was such a huge motivator towards success?Ā The more and more I look @ this, the more and more I think Gnat should be an attorney.
Peggy: Oh Peggy. Started out so naive and meek and in the end was the baddest bitch of the series. Gnat has high aspirations like Peggy and is willing to go through it all to get them. Sheā€™s also not afraid to butt heads against the many Mad Men in the world.Ā 
Ladybug
Sophie:Ā Ladybug is very insecure and is content to study her craft (painting vs hat making) instead of going out there and meeting people. She always has your back though and is brave enough to stand up to others! Maybe she just needs a push from a magician who eats girlā€™sĀ hearts...
Juno: Sprinkle in a little naivety, sarcasm, edgy humor, and attitude and you have these two. They both hide a lot of their feelings and affection with harsh words and jokes too. They try to not take themselves too seriously, so they both can be perceived as a little immature sometimes.
Ramona: Manic pixie dream girl is basically 75% of Ladybugā€™s personality. She dresses the part, had funky hair at one point, and acts like sheā€™s emotionally closed off. Btw, did you know people say Comic!Ramona is fat?! I never thought that but sheā€™s kinda drawnĀ ā€œchubbyā€. Our girl LB is def bringing those chubby alt girl vibes <3
Marceline: Plays guitar/bass? Check. Awesome sense of style? Check. Prone to anger and loves to fight with others? Lots of checks.Ā 
Max
Milo: Dude, when I first saw Max, I saw Milo. Heā€™s partly the reason why Max is a librarian and into history. They also look exactly the same. I canā€™t unsee it!Ā 
Peter Parker: Specifically Andy Garf. vibes~ He has that charming, but geeky look to him. Heā€™s not afraid to dig deeper into things, even if they hurt him. Heā€™s also a HUGE dork around girls, but somehow he always ends up with them anyway! Also I hate this but ~absence/missing parents~ is a common denominator. Iā€™m sad now.
Dean: ARRRRT!!! If you donā€™t remember Dean, he was the best part of the Iron Giant. An artist with a heart of gold! Heā€™s pretty laid back and him and Max share their passion for art. Theyā€™re also both into crafting, although Max prefers wood to metal.
Professor Jones: UM can I just say I prefer Indy as a prof? Max gives me HUGE professor vibes but heā€™s also kind of a himbo?? Like heā€™s super educated in certain topics but I feel like heā€™s also a bit oblivious in his personal life. Who knows, maybe heā€™s a secret adventurer like Indy as well.Ā 
Theo
Bender: When I first saw Theo I thought about making him an edgy, bad boy like Bender. I knew that a) he had to smoke b) have a BAD attitude c) come from a toxic home. Wow, this is making me sad. My bad Theo.
Trent: Two words--lazy, mooch. Both Trent and Theo donā€™t have jobs (noĀ plans to get one anytime soon) and spend most of their time sleeping/smoking. Laid back, carefree, zero judgements...ah. Thatā€™s the life of someone who has no direction lmao.
Boris: I have a confession. When I wanted to write Theoā€™s dialogue, I knew I wanted him to be ~mysterious~ I racked my brain on how to do so and at the time I was reading TGF. Boris is my FAVORITE FICTIONAL person. I decided to take two things from him--his accent and his history of traveling. Theyā€™re also both reckless, moody, overly confident, and a horrible influence. I love them for that <3
Sebastian: Both are always looking for something more, something better. They very non committal and are frequently in a bad mood. Once they warm up to you, theyā€™re extremely loyal~

danny phantom season 2, episode 17-20 thoughts! finishing up season two! the finale is the THIRD 2-PARTER OF SEASON 2. that's so many! I wonder how many season 3 will have?
see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3
-UERGH WHY DOES VLAD HAVE AN AI WITH MADDIE'S FACE ON IT. SOOO CREEPY. AND MORE 'CREATIONS' waiiiit. vlad is Dr. Frankenstein! (despite his ghost design obviously referencing vampires) HE HAS 'CREATIONS' HE MAKES THEN WONT TAKE REAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR!!! this bitch.
-danny was late and his friends immediately start going off about how hes inconsiderate, and has been treating them like sidekicks??? he just overslept, my god. chill. even if he has, be nicer about talking about it with him?? he really can't help that he sometimes has to chase the ghosts, or has a secret identity to protect...
-'what kind of ghost haunts a miniature golf course' umm. me as a ghost. next question
-imagine going home and theres a tiny child on your bed claiming to be your cousin. with as many cousins I have, I would probably believe her. but the 'ran away from home' BIT....SHES 12?? SHES SO TINY. I hate that they have her belly out in her ghost form, but I like how her colors are asymmetrical. something about her design...maybe the proportions?? are weird to me...anyway danny was good to feed her, but he shouldve taken her to his parents FIRST. or, tbh, probably jazz. (JAZZ DIDNT EVEN GET TO MEET HER!!! NOOO. I mean she said she'll be BACK BUT STILL)
-ANYWAY. shes voiced by AnnaSophia Robb, the girl who was in because of winn dixie, played as violet from charlie and the chocolate factory, and was the girl from bridge to terrabithia. (the movie that made me cry hysterically when I was 12 and I never watched it again because it Broke Me!) thats super cool.
-vlad sucks: the episode, basically. what's new!! I love how he's like, I'm Not A Villain. *immediately cuts to him torturing danny to make him transform, to get mid-transformation DNA, to perfect a Clone.* *immediately shows that he doesnt give a shit about his new daughter Dani and just wants a ''more perfect clone'' and will put her in danger to get that. will let her DIE to get that*
-Dani is danny's clone and is a girl? transgenderism....one of them has to be trans. or they both are.
-dani just. leaving at the end. WHAT? SHES 12. DONT JUST. NO!!! SHE WAS PROBABLY JUST BORN, A MONTH AGO AT MOST, RIGHT?? SHE NEEDS...SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. MONEY? FOOD?? A FAMILY?? AN EDUCATION???! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S LEAVING!!! OKAY BYE I GUESS!!! D: concern!!!
-the next ep opens with skulker chasing a ghost down. ...does skulker count as a ghost hunter in the way valerie and danny do? I mean, sure, he hunts the good guys too, but he. he hunts ghosts...also, we haven't seen his Real Form since his debut episode! tiny...
-the guys in white are back! ngl, I assumed they were a gag for that one episode. you're telling me they might actually be a threat? ok.
-valerie in her lil nasty burger uniform looks so cute!! glad shes not in that mascot uniform this time. I guess she stopped hiding that she's working there now?
-gregor having white hair, dressed in black and white...and green eyes...sam has a Type, I guess.
-danny being unnecessarily hostile about gregor. danny!!! hes been nice so far. he looks a little...tall to be 14, but. danny doesnt know anything about him! (he does Suspect, but...you cant just spy on people and be rude to them from a hunch.) also, gregor kissed her, and when she freaked out, he was like 'oh no!! sorry, we can take it slow! I understand!' which was NICE. I hate jealousy plots still tho.
-altho. umm. tucker, being concerned about danny spying on them??? SAM AND YOU WERE SPYING ON DANNY AND VALERIE A FEW EPISODES AGO!!!!! im not saying its RIGHT, but dont be a hypocrite!!! AND THEN SAM BEING MAD ABOUT IT, TOO.
-DANNY IS A 7 ON THE SCALE OF ECTOPLASMIC POWER!!! out of 10? so I want to know where the other ghosts rank...I mean it's a list from the guys in white, so, it may not even be accurate, like, they havent seen ALL of his powers, have they?
-Lancer being like 'im not cooperating with the FEDS' until they said they could access his tax records. they already did that joke with jack, but like, its still funny. kings of tax evasion.
-tucker's aggressive third-wheeling. but gregor being super into it. gregor/tucker is the real ship here. then gregor kissing danny on both cheeks after hugging him. bi poly king gregor. (he does turn out to be a liar with a phoney accent. unsurprising, BUT THE CONCEPT OF HIM BEING GENUINE AND THEM ALL DATING IS FUN)
-THE...GUYS IN WHITE THINKING GREGOR IS DANNY PHANTOM. LMAOOO. GET HIS ASS. or,, Elliot. lmfao
-sam saying tucker is part of the package because theyre friends was super sweet <3 but also 'part of the package'...polyships are obviously the solution to these dumb jealousy/love triangle plots.
-danny crashed a whole plane. the collateral damage...
-is he....
Tumblr media
-you know....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.... (ITS NOT GAY IF YOU'RE DOING IT TO PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT, AND LIE TO A GIRL. RIGHT? he was getting a little too into pretending to enjoy tucker's company, and the above...c'mon, guy.)
-lmao, freakshow is in actual prison. I didn't expect a follow up, or for him to show back up! in the finale of this season, too!
-THE SICK TATTOO GHOST IS NAMED LYDIA!!! more Lore On her. freakshow seemed genuinely concerned about her. also, is she mute? I don't think she talked the first time we saw her, either. and we didn't know freakshow 'envied' ghosts, either, the first time, we just knew he was controlling them. interesting!
-...they literally stole the infinity gauntlet from marvel and called it the reality gauntlet. is that legal. what the fuck. even with the gems in the lil slots, having different powers...they had freakshow in jail, but didnt check his pockets??! hes just still in his lil outfit??? what kind of ...oh, its in amity park. yeah, all of the adults are idiots, okay, sure.
-'freakshow!' 'in the anemic flesh!' dude take some iron pills then. also, sure, the red eyes could be contacts for his aesthetic, but the whites of his eyes are yellow! does he have jaundice?! he severely needs more...like, every kind of vitamin. (this is what im worried about as freakshow attacks danny with giant robots)
-again, goth circus is a sick theme, and I love his goth train.
-oh FUCK every single person saw danny transform. on a stage. including his parents via TV. oh god. the guys in white and immediately like 'youre coming in for experiments!' SCARY. at least the crowd is willing to help him to escape...perks of now being a local celeb! even the kids at school are accepting :) this is what, the third time his family has found out? its always been an alt timeline tho. and danny fully intending to just rewrite things again instead of...I dunno, trying to roll with it this time? hes really worried his family won't accept him, huh...
-'maybe our son IS THE GHOST BOY, but its not as if our family's ghostly activities have EVER PUT YOUR FAMILIES IN DANGER' maddie. mmmmmmmmmmmm. okay.
-danny 100% prepared to run away from home because of this :( oh :( and saying his parents are 'looking for him, or a scalpel to dissect him with' ouch...
-THE GUYS IN WHITE TRYING TO ARREST A 14 YEAR OLD. fuck da feds.
-side note (another one about voice actors...) freakshow's voice actor, Jon Cryer, was lex luthor in pretty much every DC tv show, which is why I recognized his voice, because my dad loves those shows so I've seen a good bit of them without seeking them out...)
-the old man saying 'hey, i still had minutes left!' and danny saying 'you gotta watch those roaming charges!' about danny destroying the people in the diner's phones so no one could report seeing him...would kids today understand these things. can you even BUY minutes anymore...I remember my first phone being a flip phone, and the fact I always had minutes when my sister ran out super fast, because I didnt have friends calling or texting me like she did...:/
-the fentons being genuinely like 'why didnt danny trust us and tell us this, we love him :(' and JAZZ LAYING INTO THEM WITH THE 'DISSECTION/MOLECULE BY MOLECULE' LINES. LITERALLLLY. they need to apologize
-technically, lydias stronger than you! -jazz lesbianism moments! when did you even learn her name!!! but also get freakshows ass. lydia is also cooler looking. looove her design sm still.
-jazz psychoanalyzing freakshow... (also, her also having ghost envy? au where jazz is a ghost!! id like to see it)
-im glad the kids still got to go to their respective vacation things, even if they cant really stick around and enjoy them much...
Tumblr media
-furry: confirmed. (also tucker calling her hot. tucker is a furry confirmed)
-danny being mad someone at the comic con is selling comics of him without permission, lmfao. give him his royalties!
-freakshow > thanos because hes a drama clown and does use his gauntlet to be FLASHY AND DRAMATIC.
-jazz's 'USE PYSCOLOGY' to danny about freakshow LMAOO. AND THEN IT WORKING. but, oh, freakshow's ghost form sucks. I like him as a clown better tbh. good thing danny took away his ghost powers!
-his parents hugging him and saying theyre proud :"( and saying 'of course you lied to us, we never gave you a reason not to!' and saying they were in the wrong basically for always talking about hurting ghosts aaaa :""(
-then he WIPED THEIR MEMORIES AGAIN!!! FUCK. I can understand him wiping the goverments/student bodies' memories, but why his parents?? they were being accepting!! ARGHHH. season 3 couldve been them all trying to adjust to them knowing!
-I know, on a meta level the showrunners probably wanted to just reset things to the status quo of him having a secret identity. But. We've been doing that for (2) seasons, I'd love if season 3 could be like, his parents adjusting to this and trying way harder to learn more and accept it (and the shenanigans that could come from that) and for fun, if he didn't wipe the students memories, it could be him being popular for a while, then everyone slowly realizing, oh, he's still Danny. Like. he might have ghost powers but hes Just The Same Guy instead of putting him on a pedestal (and seeing them all try and help him hide it from the giw/people who don't know!!)
-fuck they didn't even explain WHY he wiped everyone except sam, tucker and jazz's memories. he just Did It right when his parents were saying they loved/accepted him!! and sam and tucker didnt question it at all!!! HELLO??? very annoyed about this turn of events.
-anyway. onto season 3! I know its shorter than the first two seasons, and is the last season... I might just do it in 2 bursts if I can... :3c depends on the episodes' content and how much I want to say about each!

Iā€™ve been tagged by @klaineharmony and @wordshakerofgallifrey in one version of this and b @radioactivepigeons in another so I combined the 2 (there was one question difference lmao).
How many works do you have on Ao3?Ā 
146 (and like many who have done this before me, a couple are drabble collections and such)
What's your total Ao3 word count?Ā 
530,111 words which... wow.
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?Ā 
Oh dear GOD if I listed each individual comic series weā€™d be here all day. Weā€™re gonna go with the five I know for sure off the top of my head w/ the 3 big subcategories for comics.Ā 
DCUĀ 
> Batman comics
> Teen Titans/Titans comics
> Young Justice cartoon
Newsies
Les Mis
Percy Jackson
Harry Potter
What are your top five fics by kudos?
All of these are older and Batfandom so Iā€™m not even remotely surprised by this.Ā 
Family GatheringsĀ Dick wakes up to a text from Bruce asking that the whole family meet at the Manor that night, causing him to stress out all day.
No JudgementĀ Damian crashes at Jason's apartment and has to explain to Jason why.
Nursing a Sick BirdĀ Tim loses contact with his family when he gets sick for a week, causing Dick to come and check in on him.
Bat Kid Jam SessionsĀ All of Bruce's kids play an instrument which gives Dick Grayson and Jason Todd an idea.
Annual Wayne Enterprises Take Your Kid to Work DayĀ Bruce has Tim, Damian, and Dick all coming to WE for the day and he's a bit nervous over what kind of mess they might make.
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?Ā 
I do! Though I see now thereā€™s a bunch sitting there that I havenā€™t yet. Iā€™ll get to them when Iā€™ve got more spoons. I love interacting with people and knowing what they like about my stories and writing. It makes me really really happy.Ā 
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
I donā€™t really write angst? I donā€™t think I write angst. I write a lot of ennui. So much ennui. And bittersweet endings.Ā Donna Troy and the OutlawsĀ may be the closest to an angsty ending cause they only get one resurrection out of a possible two? But again, itā€™s more bittersweet than anything.Ā 
Do you write crossovers? Whatā€™s the craziest one youā€™ve ever written?
DO I EVER. Yes. Yes I write crossovers. Mainly modern au newsies/les mis cause it just makes sense. The craziest one has to be from my main newsies/les mis seriesĀ A crooked politician? Yeah but that ain't news no moreĀ where I dropped so many references in media, networking, and other things you don't learn in a lecture to Hairspray and Hamilton characters that I wrote theĀ ā€œshit showā€ of the four musicals being combined in a modern au that I alluded to (and I think I was encouraged if I remember correctly) and itā€™s calledĀ Cautionary Tale.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?Ā 
Not so much hate as someone doing what was essentially aĀ ā€œwell, actuallyā€ on the politics in one of my Crooked PoliticianĀ fics. The moral of the story is character views and emotions and blatant optimism do not directly reflect that of the author and I did study political science and know my stuff. OH! And then thereā€™s my crowning glory of a DIFFERENT Crooked Politician fic being quoted out of context in a New York Times article. That isnā€™t really hate but it was certainly something.Ā 
Do you write smut? If so what kind?Ā 
Haha. No.Ā 
Have you ever had a fic stolen?Ā 
Not that I know of.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I welcome translations and podfics!
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes! @wordshakerofgallifrey and I cowroteĀ Costs of Civil DisobedienceĀ as part of her Piano Man au and by that I mean were LITERALLY typing in the same doc at the same time. It was wild and amazing.Ā From Across the BarĀ isnā€™t cowritten but is my companion to her ficĀ Play Me A Memory. @radioactivepigeons were working on a leverage!newsies au but then we both got busy.Ā 
What's your all time favorite ship?Ā 
I? Donā€™t think I have one? Uh... Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing? Parker/Hardison/Eliot from Leverage are the ultimate ot3? I care very little about ships. If I like it, I like it. If it squicks me, it squicks me. If I donā€™t care, I donā€™t care. Sorry?
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?Ā 
Oh the Batfam Ghostbusters au. The concept is still solid but I just donā€™t have the motivation or know where I would go with what stands. If anything Iā€™d strip it for parts and write it new.Ā 
What are your writing strengths?
I have been told my descriptions are really strong but personally I think that my character voices/dialogue is. Also my ability to write teenaged ennui. Any ennui. Itā€™s a mood.Ā 
What are your writing weaknesses?Ā 
Grammar! I do weird shit with my sentence breaks and make run ons and just absolutely butcher punctuation. And balancing characters in ensembles. Thatā€™s hard.Ā 
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Iā€™m going to quote @radioactivepigeons here cause I agree with it wholeheartedly and she puts it better than I possibly can rn: ā€œI think there needs to be a narrative purpose. Like, is it building dramatic irony? Is someone being purposefully excluded from the conversation? Is there a characterization where the linguistic difference matters?ā€œ If the answer is no then just note itā€™s being said in the other language.Ā 
What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?Ā 
Actually physically wrote a story out? Batman. I wrote aĀ ā€œpatrol reportā€ as Batgirl to my friend as though she were Robin in middle school as part of a christmas present.Ā 
What's your favourite fic you've ever written?Ā 
Oh this is hard. UhĀ glitter and goldĀ is like my love of DC characters made manifest and is absurdly long but like thereā€™s certainly scenes I like more than others.Ā Three Card DrawĀ might be my favorite? I love the vibes and the little world I made and using it to work out my own thoughts about gods and magic as a stepping stone for my original stuff.Ā 
Since I think literally everyone I know in the newsies fandom has been tagged in this at some point Iā€™m going to kick it towards the dc folks. Absolutely no pressure to do this. @audreycritter @oh-mother-of-darkness @sohotthateveryonedied @preciousthingsareprecious @whore4batfam

youā€™re my adventure
Nishinoya x Reader - Scenario
desc: engagements and soft moments
a/n: a request from @curlykoo for some fluffy, sweet Noya! iā€™m sorry I couldnā€™t pull off a sequel to the angsty noya fic, but I hope this makes you smile <333 thank you so much for requesting + waiting ! (my titles get cheesier every time i post lmao)
warnings: none! (legit, youā€™re gonna b smothered in fluff)
wc: 1500
---
ā€œKeep your eyes covered, y/n.ā€ Nishinoya says, leading you gently by your hand to a destination in the open air.
Midsummer nights are never chilly, but you wouldnā€™t have minded a small jacket or cardigan.
Heā€™d planned for your ultimate comfort and, with your eyes still closed, envelops you in a light, fluffy blanket. He knows you well.
So you trust him and keep walking, one hand in his, the other grasping the blanket on your shoulder.
Your feet finally tap the side of a small curb, and with that he says,
ā€œNow open!ā€ In a nervously, excited whisper.
---
Noya exists for the purpose of adventure. To know and taste every sensation. To feel ridged mountainsides. To hunt for new experiences. Capturing every living, breathing thing in a mental photo. Documenting each distinct memory.
Novelty is forever fleeting, but some are born to find it. Again and again and again.
And thatā€™s Nishinoya for you. Always finding, forever searching.
But for so long, heā€™s done it alone.
And, he supposes, alone isnā€™tā€¦ bad.
Itā€™s true, thereā€™s freedom in venturing by himself. Heā€™s free to do as he pleases, whenever he pleases.
No one to look out for, nothing to tie him down.
Just endless journeys for him to explore.
But thereā€™s a point when ā€œaloneā€ simply becomes ā€œlonely.ā€
And that shift was a hard pill to swallowā€¦ because to settle down and stifle the ā€œlonelyā€ seemed to mean he had to lose his true love. Adventure.
Little did he know, the true adventure was about to start as you made your entrance into his life.
---
Itā€™s Friday once again.
And Fridays are deemed exploration days by your bubble-machine of a boyfriend, Nishinoya.
Thus it makes sense that the week is incomplete, if not absolutely suffocating to him, if he hasnā€™t had a chance to leave your snug apartment to feel grass below his feet and the rustle of wind through his hair.
You usually give him space to go off, self-examine, and explore by himself. Itā€™s something heā€™s always needed to do and itā€™s never gotten in the way of your relationship.
If anything it made you love him and his unique spirit even more.
However, every once in a while, heā€™ll want you to join him.
Tonight just happens to be one of those nights. No rhyme or reason to it.
Itā€™s not the most unusual request, but as you asked ā€œwhere to,ā€ he refused you an answer.
Yet, the sparkle in his eye told you that he was hiding something.
Something significant.
Something special he just had to share with you.
So you let him take you by the hand, pulling you toward this secret destination.
---
ā€œAnd open!ā€
It takes you a moment to realize where you are.
Itā€™s exactly where you had your first date with this spiky-haired boy. The roof of the parking garage.
You fondly remember blue tongues and sugary, sweet lips from the slushies Noya had bought you back then. How he chased you after you ruffled-up his hair, letting you think you could get away, but catching up with you in no time. How when he caught you, he cupped your cheeks, staring into your eyes adoringly.
You shared many long, devoted kisses that night. Delicate touches. Conversations about passions and desires.
Since then, youā€™ve been attached at the hip.
Yā€™all rarely revisited that exact spot, deeming it a ā€œsacred placeā€ meant only for perfect moments and irreversible discussions and decisions. Your heart is racing.
The lot is comfortably empty, a brilliant full moon above you acting as the primary light source.
Before you are a pile of pillows and blankets, a small cluster of candles, andā€¦ of courseā€¦
Those truly iconic blue slushies.
Youā€™re at a loss for words.
He leads you to his setup, letting you get comfortable enough to fully take in the scene.
Itā€™s romantic.
Divine.
Unbelievably thoughtful.
For someone so carefree, you forget just how much beauty and ambiance matters to Nishinoya. Every last detail is there, pristine yet cozy. The location and atmosphere, perfect.
You break the silence,
ā€œNoya, this isā€¦ stunning.ā€ Your mouth hangs open slightly, in awe of the scene set before you.
That he cared so deeply for this very moment, for you, to do all of this.
ā€œI just- I- Even the slushies!ā€ Youā€™re laughing, words coming out in jumbles.
So you slouch down into the pillow, legs curled into your chest, hands resting on your knees.
The stars overhead are completely outshone by your wide, sparkling eyes.
ā€œSo whatā€™s all this for, baby? Itā€™s not our anniversary, yā€™know?ā€ You smile, genuinely curious and a little nervous.
Your usually chatty, animated boyfriend is completely silent.
He wordlessly gets down on his knees in front of you and sets his hands on top of yours.
Taking both of them into his own, he waits a minute, stroking them with his thumb.
He then takes the deepest breath he can muster,
ā€œY/nā€¦ all my life Iā€™ve wanted to be free.ā€ He starts, voice shaky.
ā€œYou know how much I love adventure...ā€Ā 
You nod slowly, your eyes shining as they meet his,Ā 
ā€œand Iā€™ve had my fair share of them.ā€ He expresses with a smile on his lips, picturing one of those precious moments right now.
And suddenly, his words gain strength and confidence.
ā€œBut I never realized that I could feel this free. Especially not with someone else by my side.ā€
Your heart skips a beat.Ā 
This isnā€™t any old conversation anymore.
No, this pertains to you. Your relationship. Your Noya.
ā€œY/nā€¦ you should know, my old life pales in comparison to these past two years Iā€™ve spent with you.ā€ He states boldly, no longer wavering.
ā€œThose 22 years donā€™t match up to the amount of life I get to share with you now.ā€
He can hear his heart beating out of his chest.
ā€œYouā€™re my adventure, y/n.ā€ He reveals, his face warm, but heart even warmer.
And the happiest of tears are dripping down your chin, onto his hands.
ā€œI want you to know that out of every amazing mountaintop Iā€™ve climbed, youā€™re better than itā€™s peak.ā€
ā€œNot even the bluest, clearest ocean, the steepest waterfall, or the most beautiful flower can compete with all the wonderful things Iā€™ve experienced with you.ā€
He shifts and shuffles to grab something out of his pocket.
But, of course, he drops it first.
Nishinoya letā€™s the most comical gasp youā€™ve ever heard, escape his lips.
You laugh, tears falling faster, but youe smile growing so wide your face begins to hurt.
He recovers the item quickly and mentally kicks himself for ruining the vibe like the complete goof he actually is.
But itā€™s clear whatā€™s going on.
Itā€™s barely made visible by the moonlight and the subtle glimmer of candles...
but thereā€™s a small, velvet box in the palm of his hand.
Even though youā€™d already begun to expect it, you canā€™t help put both of your hands over your mouth in shock.
ā€œY/n, Iā€™m gonna need your hands back, please.ā€ He laughs, knowing his secret is out now.
ā€œBecause, you seeā€¦ I have this ringā€¦ā€ He pauses,
ā€œ...and I kinda want you to wear it for the rest of your life.ā€
He gazes at you for a moment longer, soaking in your reaction.
ā€œPlease marry me, y/n!ā€ The words fall out his mouth in the most Noya way.
It feels just like a movie.
Where the whole world ceases to spin and gravity releases its hold on the both of you for just a moment.Ā 
Because you suddenly no longer feel anything but his touch. His gaze. His nearness.
You remove the shaky hand from your mouth and reach it out to him.
He wraps his fingers around your palm tenderly, carefully placing a simple, but beautiful diamond-studded engagement band on your ring finger.
Of course, you take a second to examine the ring... but your eyes slowly drift back to admire your real treasure.
Your eyes meet his again.
But this time, itā€™s not just your boyfriend.
This is your future husband.
And the pent-up energy is too much for Noya, so he moves on to what he does best:
He full-on tackles you in the biggest, most life-giving hug youā€™ve ever received.
Youā€™re thrown back onto more blankets, your head guarded by his hand so it doesnā€™t touch the ground.
Youā€™re both giggling and gasping for air from, the tears you just spilled leaving you breathless.
And you lay there, chest to chest, his head laying on your shoulder.
It takes a moment, but Nishinoya lets out one last sigh before shifting to lay down next to you.
In your eyes, he sees everything.
He sees endless opportunities. Countless journeys.
And he cannot wait to pursue all of it.
He does his best to express this with simple, but bold words,
ā€œI canā€™t wait to explore every part of life with you.ā€ His head tilting to face you, your fingers now interlocked with his.
Your heart is bursting, unable to contain the joy youā€™re experiencingā€¦
Yet all you can say is,Ā 
ā€œYesā€¦ me too, Noya. I love you so much.ā€
