[thatlittledandere]

top 5 boueibu characters

Yeah happy ♡

Top 5 anything

Ibushiiiii obviouslyyyyy ♡ I don't know what happened I was just struck by lightning one day and fell in love. Happily married to my hubby for nine years now ♡ That smile hides so many secrets. He threatens to kill you in the otome game

Io <3 I don't know what FUCK happened with this one either but Io is. Fucking hilarious. Anna very attractive. I guess that's a thing that happens often when you have an OTP you will just prefer one of them and since you think about them a lot the relationship becomes deep.

NANAO MY GOOD BITCH. HE'S AWFUL IT'S SO ENTERTAINING. And I notoriously can't resist a blonde bully aschrsvh

This is where it gets murky. Ryuu I guess?? He was my first fave and I'm weak for boy princesses. Ryuu canonically wears contact lenses that change his eye color so they pop out more and goes out with three girls at once so they can entertain each other and be can just like, bask lol. And despite all his bravado it's the girls who end up doting in him?? Character of all time. What the hell. Pretty boy to the max

The puzzle game protag.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

this is so sweet, thank you 😭 i'm honored to have received this message ❤️

when i get back to posting my story, there will be a lot of interaction with grant's family, so i'll give you some fun facts about him as related to his family! hopefully it'll provide some background to where things are starting in the story family-wise and to grant's life!

(1) grant actually speaks three languages! not with perfect fluency, but quite well. he's the child of an immigrant father 🇫🇮 and immigrant grandparents 🇮🇪, so multilingualism is a natural result! but grant never really tells people this fact unless you know him really well or just happen to be there at the same time he's with his family (or also his now ex-fiancee...)

bonus fact? - his grandma aoife is a native irish speaker! his grandpa joseph is not, but grandma very much was insistent that if he wanted to marry her for real, he had to learn the language (and that their kids, their grandkids, etc. should as well)

(2) grant is the youngest sibling! you have not seen them on this blog, but grant has two older sisters. his oldest sister died (i'm so sorry that this was an intentional story choice by me) from a terminal illness when he was about twelve years old. about his other older sister...they have nothing to do with each other and haven't spoken in years, really since he was about twenty-two

bonus fact again? - interestingly, on that note, grant speaks to no one from his nuclear family except for his father, and they only reconnected about a year ago canonically. his abusive mother is 100% out of the picture and excommunicated by everyone, and his father was, too, for a long time

...and then dear old dad realized he wasted his life with a woman who used him and barely loved him, lost all his kids, and was shunned by his own parents and brother for the aforementioned reasons...and he decided to stop being an emotionally unavailable enabler, divorced evil mother mary, and started therapy!

(3) so the third fact is that grant and his dad have a relationship again. it's still awkward and they're both tiptoeing around talking about the whole, you know, "you enabled my mother to abuse me because you were afraid of her lashing out at you instead of me" thing. that and his father is dating someone else, so now grant is also awkwardly trying to have a friendly relationship with this woman dating his father.

so, yeah, it's super awkward but there is a decent undercurrent of love and acceptance and apology there, regardless of how upfront about it they are...

(4) grant has a hard time conceiving his actual biological parents as his parents, though. if you were to ask him who he considers his parents or who raised him, he would immediately say his grandparents. aside from the fact they felt immense guilt over their daughter's scorched earth path in life, in the end, they are good people, good parents, and good grandparents, and they always seem to do the right thing in any situation. for him, they did the right thing by stepping in and intervening to look after him as soon as they noticed something was wrong with the home situation for him. so he's very, very deeply close and connected to his grandparents, and the three of them have a lovely relationship

so for the final fact...

(5) his cousins jokingly call him "the favorite grandkid." the thing is, none of his cousins actually believe that because the structure of their family leads every single one of them to have a very close and impactful relationship with their grandparents. every kid got the support and love that they needed out of their grandparents, and unfortunately, some of them needed more attention. "favorite grandkid" is just a weird little nickname because grant internally feels guilty that he got "the most attention" and that he didn't deserve it, and the nickname is an odd but understandable way for the rest of the cousins to sanction that it was fine for him to be treated a little differently

No Way To Get Help

@malevon​

Well... this was supposed to be about Jon, but it's about Tim instead. Under the wreckage of the wax museum, Tim isn't dead.

cw nausea, depression, mentions of suicide and suicidal ideation (canon typical levels for Tim end of season 3), ambiguous mentions of injury, hospitals

Four more fics to go, and only one more prompt to send in, so if you have something in mind, get it in quick! I hope you know the drill by now!  Thanks @celosiaa​ for the wonderful card!

The silence is deafening.  Or would be if Tim wasn’t partially deaf already.  He hadn’t been wearing his hearing aids.  What would have been the point?  He knows the plan.  Daisy and Basira are ….were?  Hardly chatty.  He didn’t?  Doesn’t?  Didn’t?  Want to hear a single word that Jon had to say.  

God.  Tenses.  

Is anyone still alive?  Is it just him?  

He should clarify.  The silence is deafening after the explosion.  After the circus music that was somehow louder, possibly because it was at least partly inside his head.  There is probably the sound of rubble settling, and the groaning of burning building, and rushing emergency vehicles.  But… he can’t hear a goddamn thing.  Just that eternal ringing in his ears.  He has never been sure if that was tinnitus or just what silence sounds like.  Never thought it worth asking after he learned that people with tinnitus have higher rates of suicide.  And… well… if this stupid plan was nothing else, wasn’t it just some grand suicide scheme?  

One that looks to have spectacularly failed.  

Just him… probably alone.  In the dark.  

Then again, if he’s alive, maybe the others are too?  Does he want that?  

If he’s honest, he would rather just be dead.  

Not that that is a revelation.  

Then again, he could be dead in a minute.  

He can’t feel his legs.  Well… he can.  He wishes he couldn’t.  He wishes he couldn’t feel anything.  There is so much pain that it just… it’s too much for him to even register as pain anymore.  He just feels… cold and crushed.  Probably shock because there are actual fires burning around him.  He can smell it.  The burning plaster and plastic and wood and smoldering concrete… if that is even a thing?  Thick air.  He’s coughing.  And that hurts more.  

He can’t hear it, however.  

He can’t hear anything but that goddamn ringing in his ears.  

He thinks he might be crying.  

He can’t hear his own heaving sobs.  

Just that high-pitched whine of utter silence.  

Do you know what that sound is, highness?  Those are the shrieking eels…

That’s it.  

The only words his brain can find, as he grows ever more numb.  He has no doubt that darkness is eating at his vision, or would be if there was anything but darkness around him. 

Not even the words from the book.  Lines from the movie.   Which isn’t a bad thing…  He doesn’t even know his own feelings about his favorite book and his favorite movie.  

(That’s not true.  He was always a fan of the movie, but… he and Danny read the book to each other so often…  He has the work paperback in the pocket of his bomber jacket.  Wanted to die with it.  Ideally buried with it, but it’s not like he left a note.  Aside from that damn tape).  

The whine continues.  He doesn’t know how long it’s been.  

 Do you know what that sound is, highness?  Those are the shrieking eels…

That had been the first thing he had thought of when he first heard the worms.  

He curses the worms to the darkness.  If it hadn’t been for them… he could have lived in blissful ignorance about the darker nature of his job… well to some degree.  Sasha would still be here.  Jon wouldn’t have….  FUCK.  He doesn’t want to think about Jon while he’s willing himself out of existence.  But….

But Jon.  That little fucking moron.  Who he HATES.  Who he wants to hate.  

Does he hate Jon?  

Is Jon even still alive?  

If he’s dead, does he want to keep hating a dead man?  One who …wasn’t any worse than him.  

Which isn’t to say blameless, or not a twat at times….  But.  But not a monster.  And Tim can’t really blame him for not trusting anyone.  

Jon… was in the wrong, but so was Tim.  They have both been utter dicks.  Which has always been Tim’s least favorite plot.  God back in publishing… a Lifetime ago… he always hated books that hinged on characters fighting, not talking things out, not Understanding and that rift causing endless misery.  Has he really become something that he hated… still hates with every fiber of his being.  The number of books that set his teeth on edge from the first misunderstanding.  He actually hates most Rom Coms for that reason.  Which… surprised just about everyone he’s dated.  

He possibly groans.  He isn’t thinking clearly.  

He can’t hear himself groan.  

He really should give it up, and let himself pass out.  He hurts.  He’s tired.  If he wakes up… that’s a problem for later.  If he quietly slips away… well… maybe he’ll see Danny there.  Maybe he’ll see Sasha.  Hell, maybe if he sees Jon there, they can work something out.  If there is an afterlife… they’ll have all the time in the world.  (Or rather all the time in the next world).  And if not… well.  Eternal rest sounds pretty damn good.  

…But.  But Jon.  If Jon is alive down here… He should be close.  

And… Tim can’t let him die alone under this building.  He can’t lose someone else to the Circus while he sits idly by.  And Damn it, maybe he doesn’t want to meet Jon in the afterlife just yet, maybe he wants a break?  (And maybe he just loves him too much to completely give up on him… even though he knows he is far too late.  Too many bridges burned.  “We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”  A line from Jon’s favorite play.)

Tim tries to move his fingertips.  And almost screams.  It hurts.  It hurts.  It hurts.  

He thinks he might scream.  But he can’t hear a sound.  

He braces himself and tries again.  Stretching his arms out as wide as he can.  Moving dust and ash and rubble.  He almost passes out.  Or maybe he does pass out.  Time has no meaning in this place.  

He finds a hand.  Cold.  And limp.  And his heart stops, first for fear that this is another mannequin.  Then for fear that this is all that is left of someone who was… could have been… is?  Something to Tim.  Everything to Tim.  

Tim thinks he might vomit.  

He feels out a little further as his head swims.  He feels the stretched and puckered skin of undoubtedly Jon’s right hand.  Unresponsive.  Possibly dead.  

Tim coughs.  Choking on the soot and heat and fumes in the air.  A massive weight both metaphorical and painfully tangible on all of him.  Aching pain breaking him into little shards, which turn right around and skewer him.  

Tim loses consciousness.  Old and cracked and dry paperback of The Princess Bride in his pocket.  Limp hand of his… friend? In his hand.  

Tim wakes up in hospital.  

His lungs hurt.  And everything feels distant and fuzzy.  Probably being pumped through with a lot of painkillers.  Probably for the best, or he might be more upset for waking up.  He wants to ask after Jon… but he can’t get his mouth to open.  

And suddenly he’s thinking about Westley.  Mostly dead.  Revived.  Head flopping around on his neck.  Danny had lost his shit laughing at that… it always made Tim feel sick after… everything.  The imitation of life… couldn’t quite shake the image of… that night.  Christ if he was on less drugs, he would probably puke.  

He would shake his head if he could move. 

“You just shook your head, that doesn’t make you happy?”

He is also struck by the thought that this is Kill Bill in reverse.  Nearly died getting his revenge, and then ending up in a coma.  (He watched those movies on Bad days.  When he downs enough whiskey to drown a horse.  He can’t say he really remembers much of them, but they were always cathartic.)  

He tries to look at his feet.  But he can’t even lift his head.  

He closes his eyes again.  

When he opens them, he sees Martin.  Worn and tired.  Looking older than ever, more haggard than Jon.  

Shit!  Jon.  Is Jon here?  Is he dead?  

He still can’t move.  

He looks at Martin again.  Martin is… talking?  Tim can’t make out anything.  Just the dull murmur of meaningless sound.  

…But.  

Martin is holding a book.  

A sooty, singed book.  

Martin sitting between two hospital beds, holding Tim’s old copy of The Princess Bride, facing Tim presumably so if Tim were to come around, Tim could read his lips.  

“I said, ‘What do you mean, “Westley dies”?  You mean dies?

My father nodded.  ‘Prince Humperdink kills him.’

‘He’s only faking though, right?’  

My father shook his head, closed the book all the way.

‘Aw shit,’ I said and I started to cry.  

‘I’m sorry,’ my father said.  ‘I’ll leave you alone,’ and he left me.”

Martin is also crying.  Just like Billy in the book.  

“’Who gets Humperdinck?’” Tim whispers.  Painfully aware of how dry his throat is.  It’s no more than a cracked whisper.  

And then he’s coughing.  

He can barely hear himself, but he swears he is coughing out a lung.  

Martin has dropped the book.  Staring in wide-eyed shock for a moment, before yelling something.  Scrambling up.  Probably getting a doctor.  Tim wishes he hadn’t gone.  

He looks are where Martin had been, but ends up getting a good look at the bed next to him.  And sees one, very still and very pale Jonathan Sims.  Very bandaged, and frighteningly still.  Tim can’t see breathing.  

And then he’s being poked and prodded and tested and Martin is talking to him.  And everything hurts.  Until it doesn’t and he’s lying still and Martin is smoothing his hair down and holding his hand and telling him that he’s been unconscious for a month.  That Jon is all but brain dead.  That Elias is in police custody.  

By the time Jon wakes up, five months later, Tim has decided to give him another chance, he and Martin are sharing a flat, there is another room ever hopeful that Jon will want to join then if- no, when he wakes up.  

Also.  Jon’s hair may or may not be dyed green.  

Maybe.  

No, Tim has no idea what everyone is looking at him like that for.  

[vidcund4ever]

I decided to answer these questions about my Sim related ships. NOTE: These are just my preferences for my gameplay! I don’t dislike or judge other people’s ships in their games! In fact, I think a lot of them are neat. x3

01. Vidcund x Cassandra <3

02. Vidcund or Cassandra x anyone else. I don’t know. I don’t see anyone else being a good match for either of them.

03. I’m going to keep this Q&A to The Sims franchise. My first ship was Chris x Melissa Roomies in TS1.

04. I ship Vidcund x Cassandra because they’re both shy nerds who have a lot in common, and I picture them both having a love for plants. I don’t think any other girl would see past Vidcund’s demeanor. As for the usual pairing of Cassandra x Don or Darren... Don is a himbo, and I don’t think Cassandra would be into a guy like that. (In my headcanon, she’s only with him to find more information about her mother’s disappearance.) As for Darren, I think his last name says it all: Dreamer. He’s out of touch with reality and would never actually pursue Cassandra. Even if he did and they became more than friends, I don’t think she’d ever live up to his fantasies.

05. I could never figure out who would be a good match for Vidcund until I started sharing headcanons with @nanominyo, and they shared theirs about Viddie and Cassie, and I couldn’t believe I’d never thought of it before! They’re perfect together! ^^

06. For a (very) short while, I had paired Dominic Newlow with Circe to try and make what happened between them in the PSP storyline less heartbreaking, trying to make what happened consensual, but you can’t erase what actually happened, which the sims community reminded me of. :( Poor Circe... Please keep him away from her...

07. I don’t think I ship a couple that most people don’t like (minus the mistake I mentioned above). I think, at worst, my ships are considered lukewarm. If I happen to have one you don’t like, you can comment it. I’m fine with that. XD It could be interesting!

08. Hmm. A ship most people like that I hate? Honestly, I don’t hate any ships (minus, you guessed it: the one I came up with between Dominic x Circe), but there are a few I wouldn’t do, like Pascal and Nervous. I do think it’s a cute pairing, but I also think Pascal is more of a parent figure in Nervous’ life rather than a romantic one. He has a maternal instinct, as we can tell from how he fathers Tycho. Also, I’m not entirely sure he’s over his crush on Circe?

09. Besides Vidcund x Cassandra? XD Buzz x Bella. It’s not a lasting relationship, but it’s one I think makes sense since Bella doesn’t actually like Strangetown. She thinks it’s, well, strange, and Buzz is the most “normal” person she’s met there.

10. Mortimer x Bella. I know they gave off Gomez and Morticia vibes in TS1, but Mortimer remarried very quickly after her disappearance in TS2, and Bella confirmed in the PSP game that she’d only married him for his money.

11. Are we still talking about my favorite ship, or...? I’m going to assume another pairing because I’ve already talked about my favorite one too much. XD Let’s talk about Tank x Johnny, because they’re another ship of mine. OTP, all the way!

12. JRO is popular, and I can see why. They’re all misfits one way or another, and seem very explorative like most sims their age are. It is kind of funny how majority of simmers give them this alternative style because I picture them more awkward than anything. XD I’m unsure whether or not I ship them as a poly relationship. I do see both Johnny and Ripp liking Ophelia, but not necessarily dating her at the same time. Maybe I’ll come around to it...

13. Kristen x Erin. I think they make a cute pairing, but I’ve only seen a couple other simmers ship them. Maybe they come off as straight? I mostly see them end up with male sims, but Kristen x Erin have great compatibility. (Taurus x Aries.) I also think the differences they have, like Kristen being ambitious and Erin being more carefree, maintains balance. Kristen learns to loosen up and accept her true self (like stop straightening her curly hair and start dressing more masculine), and Erin tries to take things more seriously (like pursuing an actual career).

14. I don’t know if I’m doing this right. I’m rating any couple? Because if I am, I’m rating Johnny x Ophelia a 6/10, maybe? They enjoy their teen years together, but as they get older they realize that they’re better off as friends. They have different priorities, as well as viewpoints on life. Ophelia is nervous and paranoid, and Johnny wants someone he can go on adventures with.

15. The way Tank and Johnny tease and fight one another until they admit their real feelings. Even after they do, Johnny keeps up the teasing. He loves the way he makes Tank blush. x3

16. My favorite canon moment of Annie Howell x Nervous is when she brings him back from the dead. He dies in the PSP game, but I don’t want him dead (and neither does Annie), so Annie pleas with Death who, obviously, is willing to make an exception for his son... although he resurrects Nervous as a Zombie. Even so, I think it’s sweet that she brings him back to get married and have a kid and try to live a (somewhat) normal life.

17. AU? As in Alternative Universe? I don’t have one of those. XD

18. I don’t know why, but I have to rant about Dina x Michael. Well, rant more about how they’re typically seen. It’s true that Dina cheated on Michael by kissing Don, but I don’t think the kiss was mutual. (Don isn’t afraid to “take charge” of a situation.) Looking at her memories, her love for Michael is deeper than most think — or that’s my opinion, anyway. After Michael died, Dina gave up on love and decided money would fill the hole in her heart.

19. If you go through my Tumblr, you’ll find plenty of memes that remind me of a lot of different pairings. XD

20. “Today” by Jefferson Airplane is one of the songs I can hear Vidcund play when he sits alone in the dark, thinking about Circe. I don’t pair them together, but for a long while Vidcund thought they’d make the perfect pair.

21. Everyday is a date for Circe and Loki, like conducting experiments on Nervous and eventually Gimi Branko at home, and making evil plans over dinner at a fancy restaurant.

22. I don’t think any of my non-canon pairings would ever become canon. I think the one that’d have the best chance is Johnny x Tank because GAY <3

23. No, I haven’t written fan fiction or drawn my ships. I keep my fiction in game, and I’d love to draw something, but I suck at drawing. XD

24. That’s all for now.

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

1, 4, 18, 20, 30; 25 for nhthcth

What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

Okay I barely remember this because it was in like, elementary school, but I think the first time I ever took a stab at a fic was for the Mysterious Benedict Society series way back in like, third grade, and even then it was really short. The first proper story I ever tried for was for Once Upon a Time. I think I have a good 70k words still in my draft folder for that story? I never finished it. 

4. Do you outline before you start writing? If so, how far do you stray from that outline?

Sort of? 

Most of the story planning process is just daydreaming obsessively over an idea. I end up coming up with a lot of different alternative paths the story can take and end up discarding them  in favor for the one that I find most plot-fulfilling. The actual process of writing usually doesn’t start until I’ve found the storyline I like the best to pursue, and usually at that point most of the details are hammered out and I’m too attached to stray too much. I don’t really have a written outline for any of my projects, though I did end up writing down a timeline for nhthcth because it’s nonlinear narrative and I wanted to make sure I was writing down the right dates for the right chapter. 

Sometimes in the process I realize that I didn’t develop one part of it properly, or there’s a more satisfying end for a character that I didn’t spot, and that’s when I end up diverging. I also diverge when more canon is revealed and I want to incorporate it. I never wait until fully consuming media before starting a story idea, especially if it’s as long as TMA, so I usually end up getting a lot of stuff overturned in canon that I have to rework. I rewrote all of the scenes with James Wright at the beginning of this because I didn’t know about the body hopping when I first wrote down the scene. 

18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

The next day, there’s a knock on the door, twice and measured. 

It’s Tommy Bradstaff. He’s come to help Mrs. Sims. 

Okay these definitely aren’t the most artsy or evocative lines I’ve ever tried my hand at, but I always really, really loved it. The lines themselves aren’t scary. It’s only made scary by our knowledge that Tommy Bradstaff died the day before, that he knocked on a different door, twice and measured, and that the thing that answered ate him. If I had explained the scene further--wrote out the actual act of the door being answered, added dialogue, described the scene--I think it would have destroyed the real horror of it. Limiting the information strictly to the parts we need to know gives it a more uncanny valley vibe that I really like. 

The other part about this that I like is that those three sentences are the entire scene. There’s a break before them and a break after them. I just really like scenes that exist in a single line or in a few sentences. They add a sort of weird distance and finality to the scene itself. It puts way more weight to the thing you’re trying to convey and I really like the technique, but I have to use it relatively sparingly.

20. What’s your favorite minor character you’ve written?

Definitely Danny. He’s shown up in like, three or four story ideas I’ve had so far? And I got super attached. I’m definitely most attached to a different iteration of him than the one in nhthcth, though, and while they’re all very similar, they have different motivations and perspectives so they’re slightly different. My best friend really likes Danny so I’m definitely biased towards him. 

Naomi Herne is a close second. I had a storyline centered around her for a different fic and I got really attached. Unfortunately, I ended up cutting that storyline in the end, but I had a lot of fun with her.     

25. Which idea came to you first in [x fic]?

The scene with the thing that is not Tommy Bradstaff and Jon at the kitchen table. I came up with it immediately after listening to A Guest for Mr. Spider. It was such a creepy statement, and when I was listening to it, I realized the only thing that would be worse than Jon’s bully disappearing forever would be if he came back. 

30. Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future.

This isn’t TMA, sorry folks who aren't part of the TAZ fandom, but I have a really elaborate TAZ fic that I really love. If you aren’t a part of the TAZ fandom but may end up being a part of TAZ fandom, or are still listening to the Balance arc, stop reading here because there are spoilers below. 

It is based on the premise of it’s a bad idea to have your name painted on the side of a caravan if you’re unknowingly on the run for death crimes. The idea is that Taako, you know, from TV, is living his best life pre-Glamour Springs and ends up getting arrested by the Sexy Grim Reaper for crimes he’s like, pretty certain he didn’t do. Said Sexy Grim Reaper takes him to the Astral Plane to have the Raven Queen sort this all out, because the entire thing is just super weird.

And like. He apparently did these crimes, and just forgot about them, as well as most of his life and everyone in it. His entire trial happens in this weird blurry fuzz state and he literally cannot know what the Raven Queen is talking about. 

When he ends up back in the realm of the living he realizes he’s super not chill with just like, not knowing about most of his life. He decides to put the tour on pause and head to Neverwinter. He wants to figure out what happened to him, but he can’t do that when everything turns to static . He needs to hire a detective.

Okay, solution modern au/dating sim so I can causally flirt and interact with everyone at the same time. ♡ Are for my crushes ♡ 

Modern AU

Lucci ♡- High profile political bodyguard. Not much different than his canon lifestyle, philosophies included. My upstairs neighbor. He’s gone for long periods of time but I’ll refill his bird feeder when he up and vanishes. Give me that slow burn good neighbors romantic trope.  

Kaku- Lives in the same building with me and Lucci. We have a pretty causal friendship. He’s definitely closer with Lucci but we’ll keep an eye out for each other and catch up in the lobby while gathering the mail. 

Bonney ♡- Youtuber, Vlog/Lifestyle blogger. She’s just trying to do food reviews but keeps getting sucked into platform drama. We’re friends from class and there’s definitely something there but we’re both super nervous and refuse to confess. We’re just very close and this is definitely not a dinner/movie date... Haha, jk unless? Also that kiss on camera was definitely just for views... 

Heat ♡- Currently working as a mechanic at Kid’s garage. Mostly keeps to himself or hangs out with his family co-workers. We both like to walk the dogs at dusk and we’ll exchange small talk while the puppies play together. He has a a rescued rottie and the most precious tiny long haired chihuahua mix. Watching him carry around the extra small baby makes my heart ache. He’s kind of intimidating at first but his presence is so soothing and my dog approves of him and his pack. and oh my god is he a sweetheart

Hawkins ♡- Owns an occult store at the edge of town. Fosters/adopts out shelter cats in the store. I do transport for the shelter and stop in at least once a week to drop off the babies. Stepping into Hawkins shop is likely stepping into a new world. It’s a little jarring but it’s my favorite place to collect tarot cards from and he easily has the best herbal tea blends in town. Sometimes Asra will tag along and we can all gush about divination for a little while. 

Chrollo- Spider Dad is still involved in the underground and is a well known criminal. The Phantom Troupe is a well known gang in this AU. We have some shared history and he’s still an older brother/father figure in my life. Will come by regularly to consult the cards and check in. Never visits when Lucci is in town and I’m starting to notice the pattern...

Shalnark ♡- My childhood best friend. Like with Bonney, we also flirt pretty openly because repressed crushes for fun. I have Shal on speed dial in my phone in case I need to call my fake boyfriend to get out of uncomfortable situations. 

Asra- Still my roommate and one of my closest friends. They’re not crazy about the visitations from my extended spider family but they put up with them. Asra does not approve of Lucio starting to hang around us on campus but will refrain from commenting on the matter for my sake. 

Lucio ♡- I helped him with one (1) homework assignment and now I have a blonde human puppy following me around campus. Joins the study group but bless his heart he’s so lost. He still comes off as a bit of an ass but honestly the fastest way to my heart is through my animals and he’s my dog’s biggest fan. 

Law/Julian/Marco/Yoosung- Pre-vet/Pre-med students unite. My core study buddies and my support network as I work through collage. They keep me grounded when the stress is starting to pile up. I’ve gotten a rivalry with Valdemar but it’s all in good fun... Probably

Portia/Nadia/Kalifa/Paku- I met Portia through Jules and we hit it off right away. I spend a lot of time hanging out at her and her girlfriend Nadia’s apartment. We alternate hosting a weekly girls night at our places with us, Kalifa (my other neighbor), Pakunoda and Bonney. 

[smnthchrstn]

I need to make sure, YOU DO ALL 99 QUESTIONS, 99 being "ask anything" so, question for 99 is... Christine or Samantha?

Quite possibly the scariest ask meme I’ve ever answered lmao 

how tall are you? I’m somewhere around 5′7 - 5′8

have you ever gotten caught sneaking out or doing anything bad? One time the cops followed me home at sixteen because they thought my friend had beer in the car. We were really sims junkies and had several cans of Red Bull and Monster in her backseat. 

worst/funniest lie you’ve ever told? This is dumb, but last year I lied to my mom about a hickey that my partner at the time gave me. I had too many to hide and that was my fault lol spoiler alert: she didn’t believe my dumb ass.

describe your passion without mentioning it. Pen, paper, gay

describe your best friend. She is beautiful inside and out. I love her to death.

give us one thing about you that no one knows. Well, I mean two people know this but this past weekend I relapsed for the first time in God knows how long and that’s something I have a lot of shame over. Even though I know anyone reading this won’t find it shameful because we all or most of us deal with this kind of thing.

are you more dominant or more submissive? I can be either, depending on the other person and the situation. 

i’ll only date you if you love Sarah Paulson.

do you prefer to date people the same age as you, younger, or older? I’ve liked people older, I’ve liked people younger. I don’t think I’ve ever liked someone my own age, though. I’m open to whatever.

describe the person you’re in love with/have a crush on in great detail. G r e a t  d e t a i l

how can someone win your heart? Loyalty and common interests.

been rejected by a crush? Of course

have you ever had feelings for someone who didn’t have them back? Yes

would you have sex with the last person you text messaged? I never text, it’s probably like Kelly lmao. I’ll show her this, but no. I don’t think I’ve ever been romantically involved with a straight girl.

is trust a big issue for you? Yeppp

did you hang out with the person you like recently? I don’t hang out with anyone tbh

is confidence cute? I think if a girl knows she’s got it, then that’s great. Like own whatever you’re good at / if you’re cute af own that you’re cute af. Everyone’s cute af, girls are unbelievable 

what would you say if the person you love/like kissed another girl/boy? Hypothetically, if I liked a person and they kissed someone else deep down inside that would probably make something in my chest flinch, but I wouldn’t say anything.

would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh? I don’t think so, but I laugh pretty easily.

does the person you have feelings for right now know you do? To be completely honest, when I came out I pretty much memorialized every girl I liked from 11 years old to 2017 within my coming out letter. Anybody I’ve liked from 2017 -  present knows that I liked them. I’m usually the “keep it in until I die” kind of person though. 

ever embarrass yourself in front of a crush? I’ve done this several times and I’m sure I’ll never stop.

do you want to get married It scares me, but yeah.

worst thing you’ve ever done? I accidentally told a client “That’s great, bye!” when she told me her husband couldn’t hear properly to do a survey. (I was very sick and a little high on painkillers)

three things that turn you on. Cover your eyes kiddos. 1) Thigh kisses. 2) Lower stomach kisses. 3) Neck kisses / hickeys. Friiiick

who do you hate? Hate is a very strong word, I greatly dislike someone but that’s neither here nor there.

favorite term of endearment? Probably baby, but I like honey if I’m the one saying it

who was your celebrity/fictional gay awakening? Courteney Cox

intimidating girls or kind girls? Kind

what do you look for in a possible partner? Someone who is trustworthy, kind, sensitive and again as always can make a grilled cheese that doesn’t look like a wet sock

do you tend to like more masculine, feminine, or androgynous girls? I’ve liked literally all of them, I’m just a giant lesbian

are you good at flirting? Nope lmao

who was the first person you came out to? I think it was @therainbowtink if we’re getting technical here but I’m sure @onenighttofuckupmylife had to be a close second once I really knew for sure.

do you have any friends who are wlw? All of them except two

is your crush wlw? All of my crushes have been, thankfully

last person to make you reconsider your sexuality? No man has that power, come on now

write a short love poem to your crush/self? Dear self, you are a dumb ass. Love, Samantha.

do you fall in love easily? Ohohoho

is there something that happened in your past that you hate talking about? Yes. It varies, but I’ve got a couple.

are you good at hiding your feelings? I try, I have no idea if I’d ever make it as an actor. I act at work every day when I pretend to not have severe anxiety lol

are you a forgiving person? Yes

what is your “type?” I have no type, I’m just gay af

fall asleep in her arms or rub her back until she falls asleep in yours? They’re both such rewarding places to be. Being able to give someone that comfort is one of life’s greatest gifts, but when you’re really really tired or really really sick you want nothing more than to curl up against your person and pass tf out against them. I couldn’t choose. 

tall girls or short girls? Both!

hugs or kisses? Oof. I don’t know, it depends on the situation. Both are fun. I’m kind of an awkward hugger I’d rather snuggle

twirl her around or get twirled? I’m too old both of those make me want to throw up haha. 

tummy kisses or thigh kisses? Honestly they both fuck me up, but I like giving tummy kisses better than giving thigh kisses.

hairline kisses or neck kisses? Neck always

play with her hair or stroke her tummy? These are both very rewarding who wouldn’t choose both 

making out or soft kisses? Soft, but sometimes you just need to make out 🤷‍♀️

hugs around the neck or hugs around the waist? Both!

how confident are you in your sexuality? 110%

when you like someone do you blush or get butterflies in your stomach? Butterflies in the stomach 110%

have you ever liked a friend as more than a friend? did you tell them? Do you mean every single time I’ve liked someone? I’m reasonably sure every girl I’ve ever liked up until present know that I liked them.

how old were you when you realized you were into girls? This question is tricky. I was 10 when I had my first crush on a girl. 17 when it happened again, but didn’t acknowledge that I had one until 20.

most embarrassing thing you’ve done in front of a cute girl? I’ve done a thousand embarrassing thins.

do you have a favorite lesbian ship? is it canon? Foxxay and no because Ryan Murphy is a coward.

what is the most aggravating thing someone has said to you about your sexuality? When I came out my grandma told me “we have no reason to discuss your sex life” and that not only aggravated me, but hurt. Alternatively, my aunt told me that I like girls because my dad wasn’t around for a chunk of my life and that hurt me I think more than aggravated me, although it did that too because it’s never been any of her business.

when was the last time a girl made your heart flutter? Have you seen Sarah Paulson? Every single day. Every. day.

what is love to you? Love is when you care about someone and their well-being. We love our pets, we love our family, we love our friends, we love artists and actors and musicians. We love ourselves. Love comes in many forms. 

ask me anything. Call me whatever you want (just not Sam lol)

A straight couple: shows PDA in public

Me:

[farashasilver]

hey! so, i realize im late af, but i finally took the plunge by binging yoi today. once i was done you were the first person that came to mind. idk if you give recs, but i was wondering - what would you say are some essential must-reads for a newbie to the fandom? fic that really blends into the canon and maybe fills those emotional gaps? (feel free to rec your own work as well ofc!) i'd really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction as i consider you a huge yoi resource! 💕

HI I AM THE WORST you asked me this literal months ago and I’m only just now getting around to making you a rec list. It’s been a real busy back half of the year.

OKAY SO I’m gonna put these behind a cut because this is a wall of recs. At least it’s somewhat organized. Some of these are very strong in the canon setting, a handful of them are AUs. You’re not going to get much plumbing of emotional depths from the PWPs, although there are one or two that stand out as really grounding their relationship in skating. Please enjoy this massive list of fic and mea culpa for taking so long to answer you (and I only recced three of my own fics lmao).

[musicallisto]

hello there, love! can i request to be shipped from a male character in the sophomore, ilitw, and high school story? I'm a female with dark brown eyes (almost black) and jet black hair. I'm slightly tan. I like listening to music especially indie and bands (coldplay, imagine dragons, bastille), movies, eating at fast foods alone, can appreciate dry and self deprecating humor. i hardly open up but i like listening to others. i get attach to fictional characters, d eEP CONVERSATIONS && theories!!

we have the same music taste vkvkvkvkvk

I Ship You With…

Z I G   O R T E G A

(faceclaim: Santiago Segura)• You would introduce him to soooo much good music. Actually, it would be an exchange, because you both know some excellent artists and tracks and you’re dying to share them with someone, stan them and bingewatch their concerts and interviews. When you first meet and eventually start dating, you have very different musical tastes but as days pass and you begin to show each other your favorite songs, they evolve into a perfect mixture of the best of your favorite genres! You end up creating a collaborative Spotify playlist - you know, those kinds of playlists that you can both freely add songs to and when you’re not sleeping with each other, it’s a tradition to send the other the link to your favorite song at the moment. That way, you discover tons of new bands to stan and Zig becomes this huge Imagine Dragons and Muse fan (also he develops a slight admirative crush on Chris Martin but like who doesn’t have a crush on this man honestly, a true hero)

• Okay you like eating at fast foods alone and he’s very concerned about his diet, his well-being and his health since he must remain in perfect shape for his ballet, so it’s not that often that you eat pizza or burgers together. (actually, close to never.) so instead, you have these homecooked, delicious meals where you just invite each other, cook together and end up tasting your, ahem, culinary invention. Neither of you are gifted cookers so it usually ends up in a huge food fight in the kitchen, tainting poor, passing-through Becca’s blouse and terrified-yet-mildly-amused Aaron’s T-shirt. There’s cake preparation on every single wall and on the floor as well, strawberries dead on the countertops and eggshells laying wounded next to the bowl, so it’s safe to say that cookery speaking, it’s a disaster, but neither of you really mind after the absolutely amazing reenactment of a medieval battle you’ve just made, and when Zig leans in to “wipe from flour off your face” (it quickly turns into a heated make-out session on the worktop until a traumatized Zack walks in and yells he’ll need to “sluice his eyes with acid to forget the obsecenity he just witnessed”.

T Y L E R

(faceclaim: Harry Shum Jr.)• MOVIES AND TV SHOWS MARATHONS, ohmygod, so many of them. The funny thing is neither of you actually have a Netflix account. You’re just constantly stealing your friends’ codes, especially Becca’s and Chris’s, because they’re too busy working or… doing undefined presidential stuff to notice and also to even use their Netflix. So you’re basically the hugest moochers the world has ever known but none of you mind because what’s the point of having Netflix if you’re not gonna use it, that shit’s expensive plus they’re technically just doing a friend favor amirite? So you regularly have The Crown And The Flame marathons, you know how much Tyler loves that show and even if at first you only agreed to watch it so he would stop talking about it 25/8, you ended up adoring the story and the characters, so you watch the three seasons every once in a while and can basically recite all the script by heart. You even dressed up as Annelyse for Halloween so you would match with Tyler and Abbie! Your personal guilty pleasure, however, are Cassandra Leigh movies, that woman is just so talented and beautiful, and her acting is always on point! Tyler wasn’t a huge fan of it at first but eventually liked her movies more and more (and also, he just loves to see his best friend happy and fangirling over her movies, because it’s cute and rewarding and also it can always be useful for blackmailing so be warned)

• You are King and Queen of self-deprecating humor and dark references and memes that literally no one else understands. Sometimes you’ll just look at each other and literally say or do NOTHING and burst out laughing like a bunch of kids. You just have so many private jokes and memories with Tyler that are simply impossible to understand for someone who doesn’t have a brain and a sense of humor wired like yours. Also there’s literally no boundaries in your self-mockery, like you’ll just point at a trash can in the street and simply say “same” and the rest of the gang will ask you why you say that, telling you it’s not true, you’re beautiful and worth it etc., but Tyler will randomly laugh because he knows. And at this point it’s become a competition between you. You have yet to decide the prize but whoever comes up with the best self-deprecating punchline wins… something. Between the “you know they made a day dedicated to me? It’s garbage day!” and the “my personality in a nutshell is the loser character trait from the Sims”, it’s a concerto of mockery and the others don’t understand how you can possibly laugh at somethiing so sad?? but intellectuals (Tyler and you) know it’s the best form of humor and the tournament still goes on day by day

N O A H   M A R S H A L L

(faceclaim: Nick Robinson)• Before anyone comes @ me, I KNOW HE’S NOT A LI AND HE’S A TRAITOR BUT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU LIVE IN AN ESCAPIST FANTASY CREATED AS A SELF-DEFENCE MECHANISM TO COPE WITH THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE so yeah I ship you with Noah. You would help him after Jane’s death, being the most comprehensive and supportive friend ever. Despite your young age, you knew what Noah wanted in those troubled times what a lot of space and quiet, and every now and then a friend to talk to, to distract himself.That’s what you became for him. When all the others children were circling around him like vultures, asking for stories, all the juicy and gruesome details about her death, about that supposed thing that thing that supposedly killed her, you were the one who scared them away, protecting your best friend and telling them how inconsiderate and heartless they were being. You easily were one of the most mature and friendly people he’d ever known, also giving him support and sometimes advice to face his mother and the abrupt departure of his father. When you grew up, you always helped him stay focused on what really mattered to him, reminding him of the diner he wanted to open, of his plans for the future. It was only a matter of years until he realized he was in love with his childhood best friend, who had been there for him through the good and the bad.

• Since you started dating Noah, a few years after the end of high school because he was not feeling ready to be involved romantically with anyone then, you realized that your attachment to fictional characters started to evolve. You could almost always see a pattern in the characters you prefered in books: it was often the lonely, tortured and sarcastic character, withdrawn because of his dark past, and you were quick to determine that it was because of how much they reminded you of Noah after all the shit happened. He was feeling a lot better now, and you could see how radiant he was in his culinary major, but you always remembered all the hardships you had to face and all the self-esteem issues you had to fight from both sides. Also, Noah understood perfectly what it was like to be completely fucked up by a book or a TV show, and to get attached to a character to the point that you can’t stop thinking about them and feel like a own member of your family died when the sadistic author decides to put an end to their suffering. (can u tell this is personal experience) He never judges you and always comforts you when your favorite character died or is having a hard time or your OTP became canon or you’re just hyperventilating/ugly crying because of fictional universes.

• After several years of fighting and struggling, and many days of hopefulness, Noah’s dream of opening his own diner finally comes true and he’s more glowing than you’ve ever seen him. He’s incredibly thankful because not only have you been morally helpful, you’ve also helped him economically and he doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to repay you. You don’t want anything of course: just saying your boyfriend truly happy is fabulously rewarding. Baby Jane’s soon becomes a known spot for Westchester locals, who more or less all know Noah from the time he lived there, and it feels weird yet great to move back to your hometown after so many years. You sometimes help him when you have a day off work, cooking with him or, more usually, you work as a waitress because he playfully kisses you while saying “Listen, I love you a lot, but I’m better slaving over a hot stove.” You don’t mind, because it’s always a pleasure to work with him and since the customers remember you from your younger days, you get the chance to chat with them and reunite with your old group of friends, who come to visit you every once in a while. It’s a calm and placid life, but after everything you’ve been through, it’s everything you want and deserve.

A N D Y   K A N G

(faceclaim: Min Jun Qian)• Your best friend would be Andy, and this since childhood, just like Noah! He would be a rock for you, always there to cheer you up and listen to you when you’re down, and you would be equally comforting to him, especially when he’s going through figuring out his life and his identity. He would’ve been so lost without you during his childhood and adolescence, after the terrifying Jane drama and everything that came after. He quickly becomes you partner in crime and, being a little more extroverted than you, he’s often the one who introduces you to his friends, invites you to parties through mutual acquaintances, and sometimes even gives you ideas for uh… some not-so-authorized stuff in the school, but you only agree if you know it’s perfectly safe and you don’t risk anything (or at least, anything too important) because you have to admit the thrills and the adrenaline are what you live for in those little moments, especially with your best friend.

• He’s also the one you can have deep conversations with during high school. You know Noah is still too emotionally bruised to talk about things that he may consider “depressing” or “too big for children to understand”, and you respect that he doesn’t want to get involved in those kinds of heavy reflections. However, you really want to discuss about them with someone, and Andy is the perfect person for that. He’s very open-minded, intelligent and ressourceful. His goofy, funny side always adds a twist to the theories you already know and debate about - “maybe you are an Illuminati, how can I be sure I can trust you?” (to which you answer “you can’t” with a malicious smile). Sometimes it’s not even that deep, it’s just talking about what you think is going to happen next in your favorite TV shows or books, or discussing a character’s psychology - it often happens that Andy and you have drastically opposed points of view on the same character and you like to confront them and understand why the other likes them, or hates them.

• Your favorite spot to talk about those theories and have those philosophical conversations about the moon, the earth, society and reality is in his garden. When you were kids, you used to have sleepovers at his house and your parents never minded because they were friends with Andy’s; now that you’re older, you basically spend most of your free nights at his place, laying on the grass and watching the navy blue sky. You built a little wooden house in the trees in his backyard when you were twelve, with the help of your friends and his parents, and it has a perfect view of the sky and the trees below. At first, going up there is very difficult, especially surrounding yourselves with trees and the singing of the forest, but the more you went up in the tree house, the easier it was to go back to the forest. It’s so calm and placid up there, with only the birds chirping to disturb you, or rather soothe you, and you’ve lost count of the nights you’ve fallen asleep there. It’s the best place to have deep conversations and also silly dares, and it’s so peaceful that you can almost forget all the bad stuff that happened in your youth.

I’m sorry but I didn’t have time to write a long headcanon like those up there for HSS! Just know that I romantically ship you with Michael Harrison, someone you’d be able to talk to about anything, from the silliest things (“do crabs think fish are flying?”) to the deepest (”what do you think Area 51 is really?”), and he’d always be up for a good laugh. And your best friend would be Morgan Jennings, being one of Michael’s best friends, she became yours as well, and you would love the same kind of music and go to concerts together and collectively lose your shit. Everyone thinks Morgan is a little selfish, but you know better than that, and you want to prove everyone that she actually has a heart of gold!

Hope you don’t mind this, I didn’t want to make you wait any longer and it was getting a lot for me to write!

[thatlittledandere]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 31 and 40 for that shipper ask meme (sorry for picking so many but those questions are GOOD)

You're right, they absolutely are. I'm sorry in advance that this is gonna be LONG and I'm on mobile so I can't even add a read more;;

1. Talk about the first ship you ever had

So I'm SURE there were relationships I was invested in in movies and cartoons I watched as a child (I've always been a sucker for romance, even though there was that period when I didn't want to admit it) but I can't remember anything from very far back;; So it was either Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter or Ichigo and Masaya from Tokyo Mew Mew, whichever I read first.

2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life

GOSH. You can't do this to me. I guess Romione because it was the time in my preteens when I was becoming more aware of... stuff, in general, abs the two cemented my love for friends-to-lovers. Then Ioryuu, because I've never been AS invested in and passionate about a ship before and likely never will. Nothing can compare to that intensity and ngl I miss it;; I miss the genuine hype I felt in my heart that made me interact with people and make things. So many things. I honestly can't think of a third one with such a lasting impact, sorry;;

3. What's your current OTP?

I imagine Souyo scenarios in my head every night before falling sleep and every morning after waking up, this is not a joke not an exaggeration. I still feel a little traitorous saying this on tumblr but their dynamic IS somewhat similar to the way I see Ioryuu so-

4. What's your current NoTP?

I don't think I have one? I have dislikes, some of them strong, but I don't see any of them often enough to be, like, actively angry. I have better uses for my time than willingly exposing myself to stuff I don't like.

5. Do you have any poly ships?

Not generally, juggling two characters is enough work lol. The only poly ships I've ever really actively shipped are Niels, Duncan and Natalie from the web comic Niels And the Gang by humon and Kinatsuen from Boueibu, but neither are actively on my mind much these days.

8. Have you ever shipped yourself with a character?

BOY HAVE I EVER. I've seen someone on tumblr have a side blog for self-shopping and not gonna lie, it's an excellent idea. My late teens were spent reading character x reader fics on Quotev and I started my fic career with the same genre. I don't really know what to do with myself when I DON'T actively ship myself with a character, which is my state of being now that Yosuke surpassed Yoosung as my favorite character;; Ibushi and Yoosung are the biggest ones but man oh boy I have shipped myself with characters from early age and I'm showing no signs of stopping! There's a reason that I main dating sims.

15. Have you ever "shipped at first sight"?

Not for long. I SUCK at forming first impressions. Usually if I start thinking I'll ship something, I end up not being so invested in it after all, and instead shipping something I swore off at first lmao. Which leads us to...

16. Talk about a ship you initially disliked

As a rule of thumb, all of them. I don't understand HOW it keeps happening but somehow almost all the ships I truly care/d about (that I didn't start shipping through osmosis before knowing them in the source material) started out as something I thought I "wouldn't be able to get behind." Gajevy. Shikatema. Sasunaru. Doctor/Rose. Karabita. Atsutodo. Kiribaku. Yoozen. Enatsu. Freaking IORYUU. EVEN SOUYO. IT'S BEEN YEARS I REALLY SHOULD KNOW THE PATTERN BY NOW

17. Talk about a pairing you've stopped shipping romantically

Like, I started to think they're better as friends after all? I guess NaLi. Then again, I mostly only shipped them out of spite in the first place because I wanted a counter for N/a//Lu, which I never liked at all;;

20. Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping

Now this time I can say for sure that there isn't one. I can't come up with ships myself and stay on board if there isn't content for it, canon or otherwise;; It's not a conscious decision or anything, it's just how my mind works. I get attached to stuff by exposure, whether from fans or the source material, and if the source material has enough content for two characters for me to pick up on and become interested, it's guaranteed to be enough to become a somewhat popular ship.

21. Is there a ship you just don't get, but have nothing against?

Actually... That's the extent I go to with notp'ing these days. I'm passionate about the right to ship whatever you want so by proxy I can't have anything "against" a ship, even if the sheer thought of it existing makes me nauseous. And I know how to think from points of view other than my own, so I can usually see the appeal, even if it appeals to me personally less than eating dog shit while walking barefoot on rusty nails that are also on fire.

That said, the only ships I have on my Tumblr blacklist are Yoo//ra/n and Suza//lu/lu because they're both popular ships for characters whose tags I am/was following and therefore get suggested a lot even if I want following anyone who ships then. Oh, and all B/LMa//tsu ships! I generally can't feel good about incestuous ships, but can and will fight for their shippers' right to do as they please as long as they stay respectful. (never saw blmatsus who weren't respectful. saw a plethora of anti-blmatsus who were absolute demons. actually the reason i moved away from the last remnants of my anti mindset was that i didn't want to be associated with THOSE anti-blmatsus, when the shippers they wanted dead were all such sweet people. food for thought.)

22. Which of your ships have the best chemistry?

All of them?? Lmao I don't understand this question, isn't shipping all about liking the chemistry between characters? Or the potential for it I guess, in which case the chemistry is whatever you want it to be, which is great B) I'm sorry I keep accidentally dodging questions I'm bad at choosing examples from a long, unordered list

23. Which of your ships deserve better writing?

Hhhhhhh I shipped Jerza for years and was still unsatisfied with their ending, Jellal didn't get to heal enough and we didn't really see them working through their past in an effective way and getting comfortable around each other. It's like they were supposed to be friends to enemies to lovers but the last part didnt really develop and their relationship stagnated at the stage were they were both just permanently awkward out of regret, and couldn't bring themselves out of it even though everything was forgiven forever ago. Or I've forgotten a lot of stuff that happened. Very likely. Is your a case of bad writing or good writing not working out the way I wanted it to? You're asking the wrong person.

25. Have you ever shipped a pairing before you even started watching the show/movie simply because of gifs/graphics or similar?

EYUP. Harumichi was my otp for like a whole year before I saw a single episode with them lol. It was crazy, but it was REAL. I've also went into shows already paying attention to things I knew my friends/people I follow shipped, kind of hoping I'd get into it.

26. Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic I'm writing these questions down from screenshots and I cropped the rest of this one out by accident rip

Eeeh I go for the obvious. Best friend pairs, obvious pining, some rivalry with sexual tension, though I don't really know what to do with those. Then there's the fact that I never see it coming sick Persona 5 reference bro and start shipping the couple I thought "should just be friends" at first. This is more about my relationship to the ships than their dynamic but it's very constant...

27. Is there a ship you've shipped for most of your life?

Hmmm well I got into HP and started shipping Romione sometime in mid elementary school so it's definitely been more than half my lifetime since, but I don't really know if I "ship it" anymore. I didn't start disliking them or anything but for me, "shipping" is an active intrest in a fictional relationship, so if it reaches the stage where I like it, in theory, but I don't have the feels, it doesn't really count. That's why I can say I like ships without shipping them. It's gotta be actively on my brain, man.

31. Talk about one of your favorite headcanons for a ship you love

I haven't mentioned Kannao once, which is criminal. So here's some of what I imagine their future to be like :D I've been getting new Persona followers recently so here's something for you to unfollow me over lmao

So first of all I ignore the canon that Naoto goes back to the city for her detective work after her first year of high school, shhh she stays in Inaba, only taking the occasional jobs. She and Kanji start dating during the spring break before their second year and get more comfortable with each other, so that the next summer they're still cute and very much themselves (which means somewhat reserved) but not as awkward anymore :) I haven't thought about what happens after they graduate but they get married in their early 20s and have a son <3 (Chie and Yukiko adopted their daughter only slightly earlier. They may or may not have had a bit of a competition going on) ((yes Souyo are very much together but if they end up having children I haven't thought about it it's later))

Kanji manages the textile shop and Naoto helps when she's free from detective stuff. They live in Inaba but Naoto is away quite often for her gigs;; She takes up a few jobs less when Kouta is little though so he wouldn't feel less close to his Mom than his Dad.

Both Kanji and Naoto suffered from unfair expectations growing up, so they try their best to make up for it with Kouta's upbringing. They want him to feel comfortable being himself and free to express himself the way he wants; they make sure he knows he'll always be loved and supported, and to never be ashamed of who he is. As a child it doesn't even occur to him that many social norms and social expectations exist, because Naoto and Kanji pretty much let him do whatever as long as he isn't hurting himself or anyone else. They might go a little overboard though, giving into Kouta's whims without much consideration at all. The Amagi Aunties enforce rules and keep kids grounded in reality much better lmao

40. If you could change one thing about your otp, what would that be?

HMNGHNMHGNMGH I WAMT YOSUKE'S INTERNALIZED BULLSHIT ACKNOWLEDGED!! It's there AtlUS!! Stop pretending oh my god.... I love the Dancing All Night story mode (so far. I am by no means done); Yosuke gets cool moments and Yu's internal monologue really shows how much he appreciates him. The dynamic is so much better than with a silent protagonist, and thank god they didn't go with the tactless anime Yu (as fun as he is). I know there are a bunch of nods to the cut romance across spinoffs but mannnn... I wish they were more serious about it. At this point it's not even that far-fetched to think Yosuke has feelings for Yu that he may or may not be aware of, and I know that Yu as the player character can't be too tied down to one option in canon, but still... Even the clown gets tired of jokes at some point. One can dream.

40 ship questions

[amalgamezz]

1-50 (I can't think of another question for 51 I'm sorry T^T)

Thank you for asking!! :D

My answer to some questions will be brief because there are 50 of them so if anyone wants me to elaborate, please feel free to send me another ask.

Also gonna put everything under read more because it’s hella long.

Oh boi, here we go…

1. Favorite character

2. Favorite route

So far, Jumin Route remains my favourite because it hits home for me and literally serves as a call out post to my own ass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3. Favorite theme

Endless Struggle (Ray’s Theme)

I’m The Strongest (Saeran’s Theme)

4. Favorite chat background

5. Favorite “Cheritz” voice

Gimme a sec. Let me check.

Oh no,

I’m still biased 😱

14. Favorite CG

Also arguably the best VN of the game.

15. Favorite good end

I’d prefer his NE, but on the other hand, I live for drama ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

16. Favorite after ending

He grows so much. I’m proud of him.

17. Favorite bad end

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

18. Worst bad end

See q(48).

19. Favorite headcanon

Saeran is a Jumin stan

Fite me on this (ง'̀-‘́)ง

20. Favorite ship (platonic/romantic)

I’m not a shipper but I’d say I do find these ships interesting:

- Vanderwood/Jaehee

- Saeran/Yoosung

- Saeyoung/Yoosung

- V/Zen

21. Favorite character interaction with each other

Jumin vs. Zen

Seven vs. Yoosung

22. Best plot

I’d say I really love Saeran’s character arc,,,,,,,,,

But there are various factors that make it very difficult for me to fully enjoy his route. As someone who does love Saeran, I feel goddamn conflicted about it and my stand is also controversial af so I’m not gonna spill it here either. For now, I’ll just rewrite a part of the route in my head and pretend it to be canon instead lol

23. Best character development

Jumin, Saeran, Yoosung

Don’t make me choose between them pls

24. Best antagonist

Probably Rika and her natural manipulative talents lmao because how else the stans can still excuse her doing after all that.

25. Worst antagonist

Echo Girl, Choi Sisters. Mainly because those types of antagonists are very common and have no depth at all.

26. Best character design

HAVE U SEEN MY HUSBAND?

27. Character who left the biggest impression on you

You can pinpoint the fraction of a second in which I fell in love.

28. Character you’d want to be BFFs with

Jumin, Seven, Jaehee

29. Character you romantically ship yourself with

I’ve come to a realization that my hopeless aromantic ass isn’t actually romantically attracted to any character but if I must choose, Jumin is the only one whom I can imagine myself romancing with lmao

30. Most relatable character

I’m a disastrous mix of Jumin and Seven. It’s hilarious 😂

31. Most tragic character

*clenches fist*

Would choose the other one to emphasize my point but I’d rather minimize her appearance on my blog.

32. Funniest character

YOUR TURN, SEVEN.

33. First route

Zen. Honestly, that still surprises me because realistically our personalities would clash a looooooot.

34. First impression of the game

“It’s just a goddamn dating sim. What makes it so hot?”

No wonder it’s called Mistake Messenger.

35. First impression for each character

Zen [*excessively flirtin’ and braggin’*]

Pls pls pls stop flirting with me. Pls stop talking about ur look. It’s such a turn offffff T^T

Jaehee [”You like Zen, do you???”]

But I don’t;;;;;;; 

Jumin [”Please only call me when necessary” *hang up*]

R00d. I like him.

Yoosung [*skipping classes, staying up 24/24 gaming, failing tests*]

Goddamn relatable, bro

Seven [*meme my way through depression*]

L3t’s m4rry 4t th3 sp4c3 st4t10ns!!!

Little did I know how he’d betray me in his own damn route 🙂

V [*hops in* *hops out*]

Annyeong-

Oh.

Unknown [*currently abroad but wants MC to help return a phone by going to an apartment somewhere in Korea*] 

Sounds fake but okay

[*actually got prologue BE*]

Who wears like this these days?

Do you need help with your jacket?

Rika

So, how many bucks do you wanna bet she will somehow show up alive?

[*pretends to be surprised as she actually shows up alive*]

36. First character you fell for

Don’t judge me, okay

37. Korean OP vs English OP

Korean version.

38. Current number of hourglasses

I have 730 HGs and 26k hearts. So that would be 990 in total.

39. How did you find out about this game? What made you decide to download it?

A friend recommended it to me. My curiosity got me and I searched up the fandom. Amused, I then downloaded it for a laugh.

FYI, she quit some months after.

But look at where I am now.

40. When did you start playing it?

Oct 3rd, 2016

41. Have you completed all the routes and unlocked the secret endings?

Yup

42. Free to play or paid to play? If so, what did you spend on?

I’ve got phone call cards for all characters. Best purchases ever made.

43. Were you ever obsessed with this game at one point?

I’ve never thought I’d spend any cent on a game, not mentioning an otome game. And yet.

So, you might as well assume I’m still very obsessed lol

44. How dedicated are you to this game? Do you set alarms and try to get 100% for each day etc?

I’m a human disaster. Who needs alarms? What is sleep? 😂

45. Do you play the game blindly or follow walkthroughs?

I went blindly mostly. There were some arcs of a route that I searched up for general tips/ideas of what I should do rather than strictly stick to the walkthrough.

46. Did you play the game properly? From casual route to deep route in recommended order?

My playing order was Zen > Jumin > Seven > Jaehee > Yoosung > V > Saeran

The main reason is that I was about two months late into fandom. I didn’t want to be spoiled any further so I just jumped into deep route right after I got enough 80 HGs.

The other reason is I was too thirsty for curious about Juju; I can’t wait any longer lmao

47. Moments that made you laugh out loud?

There are a lot but this one is off the top of my head.

48. Ever cried or shed a tear while playing?

I fuck’d up 😂 Even this is too angsty for me.

49. How many photos/screenshots of MM are in your photo gallery?

None. A 3 GB otome game is already an overkill for my phone’s memory 😂

50. How has this game affected you overall? Do you regret playing it?

Financial -20%

I’ve spent $30 on an otome game. This itself is a goddamn record-breaking 😂

Health -50%

Mystic Messenger has utterly destroyed my sleep cycle #feelingblessed?

Education +20%

Mystic Messenger is not just a dating game. It touches various real-life topics and can actually be deep in many ways. I’m grateful that I’ve got to learn a lot from it.

Life productivity -50%

Catch me doing anything MM-related instead of doing homework. Maybe I’m also doing it right now.

Pleasure and Friendship +600%

Tbqh, the best thing this game has brought to me is that I get to know a lot of amazing folks whom I’m honoured to call my friends. You know who you are. Lots of 💜💜💜

Overall: +500%

Do I regret it? The stats are suggesting no; nope; nada. Zero regrets.

[dent-de-leon]

have you ever shipped any other ships besides sheith? and what other tv shows or fandoms have you been apart of in the past?

asdfklfg there are so many video games and shows and stuff that I love I feel like to try naming them all is a futile effort, so I’ll just save you time and mention some other ships I like lmao. Admittedly I’m not into shipping really, so it has to be something I really really like. Sometimes I just ship stuff jokingly. Anyway, I assume you mean ships from other series, so:

For those of you who want canon lgbt representation in a mech show, might I suggest Evangelion, which has a bisexual protagonist who ends up with a requited romantic interest in this alien guy who is just unconditionally kind and supportive. And in a show where basically all the other relationships are portrayed as inherently damaging, manipulative, or abusive in some way, theirs is built entirely on mutual love and understanding. The contrast is both refreshing and healing, and it really warms my heart. 

Unfortunately, Kowaru isn’t in the original for very long but he is in the Rebuild movies so I recommend watching 3.0 if you wanna see how fleshed out their relationship ends up being. I have a lot of feelings about these two in 3.0 and certain scenes always get me. It’s so sweet to see how implicitly Kowaru trusts Shinji though, and in a world where everyone else is telling him he can’t change and there’s no way to repair the damage he’s done, Kaworu still takes his hand and tells him it’ll be okay. That no one’s beyond redemption and there’s always something you can do to try and make amends, to move forward. Actually, I think my love for their relationship is what made me so drawn to sheith, mutual love and support is very much my thing

I love Fire Emblem. And since I’ve only played FE 13 and 14, by the simple virtue of the support system, I have sO MANY SHIPS!! SO MANY!! For those who don’t know, you get a whole army in FE. And in 13 and 14, by pairing units up and having them interact, you can get their relationship up to different ranks. If two units achieve S-rank they get married, and usually have a kid. And you can pair up literally like everyone in your army, so…ya…LOTS of ships. How many times have I restarted my game to marry my pc to someone new?  More times than I should have. Henry was my the first person I married my pc to though so I have lots of FE ships but there’s a special place in my heart for him and Robin lmao

FENRIS AND HAWKE!! This is a conversation I can’t even really get into because if I start then I won’t stop, but just know he’s my favorite romance option in Dragon Age and I love him a lot. He’s also like, my one  main play through love interest who didn’t run off and leave me too so that was cool. Except, then Hawke ran off and died in Inquisition…I fucked that up, I’m so sorry Fen…Anyway, I really feel for him. He’s overcome so much and he’s trying so hard to heal. And recovery is never simple or easy.  

it’s frustrating, it’s upsetting, it’s heartbreaking. But he always tries to do better. And he’s never just “the grumpy elf” everyone jokes that he is. He plays cards with Varric and Donnic. He tries to talk things out with Anders after one of his quests, tries to offer some advice and help him (even after all the fighting that’s gone on between them). He laughs at Hawke’s bad jokes. He stands up and says he still doesn’t believe in defending mages, but he’ll help you because you’re his friend and he trusts you. And seeing Hawke help him open up to others, telling him that he’s not alone and they’ll help him–it always gets me.

And something interesting about his route is that he doesn’t hold it against you if you’re a mage. That’s literally a question you can ask–and I always do–and he’s honestly surprised you’d be concerned for him. He’s not “oh, yeah I hate mages, but I’ll make an exception for you.” He’s like “wait, why would that be a problem?? It’s fine you’re good, I like you.” I completely understand his feelings towards magic, but it’s still somewhat sweet–and I think in a way very healing–for him to become some open and trusting with mages like Bethany and Hawke. 

Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus! I grew up with Sailor Moon so it was a pretty big part of my childhood. Unfortunately, that also means I grew up with the dub, which tried to censor the relationship by claiming they were “cousins”…ya…guess how well that worked. Anyway, it made a lot more sense to find out they were meant to be romantically involved. Even though they’re apart from the other sailor scouts, I love how close they are with each other. And any time they did show up it was a big deal!! I looked forward to those episodes the most. Also, I definitely had a crush on Sailor Uranus as a kiddo lmao. Neptune is very lucky 

Duck and Fakir from Princess Tutu–I was like, extremely opposed to it at first. I was really rooting for Duck to get her prince!! To finally dance with the prince and win true love and the whole shebang, every time she made some progress with him I was so damn happy for her, I really wanted them to be together!! I wanted that perfect storybook ending! But the background for Tutu is that it is a story, but it’s one where the author dies before its completion and all the characters are left to their own devices–doing their best to avoid their destined tragic end. So I didn’t want Duck’s love to just be for nothing, I really wanted her to be with the prince because it was just something she wanted so bad. 

But then she and Fakir ended up getting closer!! They start working together and he steps in and saves her. He finds out about her real identity and still supports her. He puts his own misgivings aside and realizes they have to help each other. And then Duck starts warming up to him too, and honestly? This is like, a ship where I can say I literally had a Moment where I realized I was in deep and that was it. Because Duck has that dream. That same old perfect dream where she’s dancing with her prince. But then when she finally turns to look up at his face–bAM, it’s Fakir instead. And she just wakes up all frantic anD SHE’S LIKE “OH NO OH SHIT I LIKE HIM” and meanwhile I’m over here crying like “oH NO!! I SHIP IT!!” Totally won me over

N from Pokemon and either trainer Black or White. “Leo why are you shipping stuff in a pokemon game,” you’ll probably say. And fair point. But I also say–this dork runs off on his own and leaves you! But I got so attached!! Listen, this was the first time pokemon had one of those fancy closeup cutscenes, and when his face was suddenly on the screen I like pANICED I was like “wHAT IS THIS SORCERY” and like jumped in surprise asjfdkl it fucking scared me. And  then, he kept surprising me!! This was the one game where fighting the Elite 4 wasn’t the end of it. Oh no. This boy fucking summons a giant goddam castle out of the fUCKING GROUND and makes you walk like 2000 steps to go fight hIM instead!! 

Boy I didn’t even get to fight the champion! I’ve gone years with this status quo and now you’re just shaking shit up! I also wanna point out the beginning cutscene is his coronation and I literally turned off the game and popped out the cartridge to double check this was still pokemon cause I was like “what the shit.” He also has ninjas, that’s a thing. Anyway, at the end of the game he’s like “Follow your dreams!!” and then juMPS OFF THE FUCKING EDGE OF A CLIFF AND I WAS LIKE WAIT NO–but then like a second later you see he actually jumped and landed safely on his dragon and I was like “oh ok good oh my god ok alright cool cool.” 

and then hE FLIES OFF!! TO GO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING!! HE’S GONE FOR YEARS! THEN BLACK/WHITE RUNS OFF AFTER HIM! AND THEN theY’Re gone for years and then in the goddam sequel N comes back but they’re still looking for him they like literally just missed each other I’m so mad!! Just reunite!! We rode a ferris wheel together and you told me you were a king, it was so romantic!! and then at the end of the sequal he’s like “That trainer was very important to me, I’m going to go find them and tell them how I feel,” like yES!! YES!! GO, YOU DO THAT BRO! STOP SITTING UNDER YOUR RUINED CASTLE AND GO DO THAT! 

Also, most importantly–the MC and Anghel from Hatoful Boyfriend. Why? Because Hatoful is the single greatest dating sim ever conceived and these dorks are the best that’s why

[thatlittledandere]

Don’t talk to me or my ten husbands ever again

Tagged by @classychemist thanks chey!!

Rules: Name 10 fave male characters from 10 different fandoms and tag 10 people

OK maybe instead of thinking about my favorite fandoms and fave characters from them I’ll give some room to the more obscure stuff I never talk about and go with my husbands!! prepare for a lot of dating sims lol ((a disclaimer i’m an indecisive piece of shit so despite the numbers this isn’t any kind of ordered ranking))

1. Ibushi Arima - Boueibu

if you didn’t guess he’d be the first you’re a fake fan- jkjk Ok he’s the only one I usually call my husband but shh

Anyway I’d sell my soul for some of that boi

2. Yoosung Kim - Mystic Messenger

I want to live with him in a relationship where we both take care of each other forever he’s my sunshine my everythin

3. Lysander - My Candy Love

LISTENNN LYSANDER IS A SWEEEETIE AND I UNDERSTAND HIM BETTER THAN THE OTHER CHARACTERS I WANT TO HUG HIM FOREVER

4. Mat Sella - Dream Daddy

He’s a D O R K with passions what else do you need in a man

5. Makoto Tachibana - Free!

a soft caring cat boy.....

6. Sho Kiriya - Celebrity Darling

We had a love story of the CENTURY and I’d LOVE to replay it but the game got discontinued ;_;

7. Future Trunks - Dragon Ball Z (and GT I guess)

My B O Y my first anime crush he didn’t deserve any of the suffering he had to go through;; and I kinda wanna be mad at Super for giving him a canon female love interest but I mean it’s not like he doesn’t need some light in his life;;;

8.  Philippe - The Niflheim

A poet librarian with patience none of you have ever seen before he’s so ridiculously devoted to his princess...

9.  Karamatsu Matsuno - Osomatsu-san

Fuck I tried to make the list without him but it would be dishonest I want to meet Karamatsu to test my limits

10. Phichit Chulanont - Yuri!!! On Ice

CAN’T BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT THE SUNSHINE BABY THE ULTIMATE BEST FRIEND SHAME ON ME SHAME ON MY COW

I tag @angry-jewish-magical-girl, @amateurcatalyst, @crazy-grrrl-on-the-computer, @zoeynightly, @koolkitty9... ummm... each one twice so it counts as ten? Honestly Chey you didn’t tag ten people yourself I’m taking advantage lol

(read more for honorary mentions I broke the rules but now you don’t have to see it if you don’t wanna lol)

+1. Krillin - Dragon Ball anything

if you don’t appreciate krillin we can’t be friends Two characters from the same fandom is definitely cheating but youknow... Krillin made me remember that my favorite may not always be my wife/husband character

+2. Suzaku Kururugi - Code Geass

Suzaku isn’t there on the actual list because he isn’t my husband he’s my SON and no matter what he has done or is doing or most likely will do I will DEFEND AND PROTEC

+3. Tooru Nayuki - Starmyu

Same can be said about Nayuki except that he’s more um morally upstanding;;

and i could keep going but i’m gonna stop here sorry guys
