#i will probably enjoy their dynamic the best

[he4rken]

Could I request a 1x x reader where the reader is also kinda hateful towards others? 👉👈 Maybe if they’re a survivor they subtly help the killer during rounds without anyone knowing or if they were a killer they enjoy hunting them down. Think of that one cheesy trope of “hates everyone but you” but make it both the people in the situation.

I think it’ll be a very interesting dynamic, 2 people who hate everyone (but each other) :] Take your time and thank you for considering, don’t worry if you don’t wish to do it ^^

A LITTLE EXCEPTION... | hateful reader

— Anon, anon!!! This is actually so cute! I wrote both scenarios if the reader was a survivor or a killer so it's more fulfilling. Hope the headcanon formatting is well suited here!

WARNINGS: normal forsaken round stuff (implied murdering)

All pronouns aside from it/its were used here!

— The physical manifestation of pure malice actually having someone he doesn't feel hatred towards? Are you sure you're talking about 1x1x1x1?

— Okay, okay. Maybe it isn't so very far fetched when the one they hold (surprisingly) dearly is just as hateful as they are. Two sides of the same coin, two peas in a pod, all those sorts of sayings could describe either of you! Positively or negatively from the outside perspective.

— It's a bit of a surprise that both of you managed to get romantically involved, especially with 1x1x1x1 saying how she hates sappy things, relationships are not her thing at all!

— But oh man... Hey why is there so much glitter and pink stuff floating around in the air when you also don't seem to like anything or anybody? Is that music playing?

— Jokes aside I think 1x1x1x1 just very slowly starts conversing with you since both of you are haters, eventually the relationship between you does become more than acquaintances.

— Oh you don't like people? Especially a certain someone? Likewise for him too! Definitely has ranted about said certain someone a lot. Somehow she gets very pleased when you join in and agree with him fully. It's quite the ego boost too.

— It's kinda a shame when you guys rarely see each other, that's if you are a survivor and 1x1x1x1 didn't get selected by The Spectre to be the rounds killer. And if they do get selected? Majority of the time you end up being the last man standing with how much she's sparing you.

— Bonus points when you always help him out too! How generous of you to lead another survivor straight towards them and then bail last minute while the survivor screams in pure agony. Even better when it's none other than Shedletsky too, she's letting out her anger immediately on him. So kind of you to help them out.

— When it's just you and 1x1x1x1 alone while the last minute ticks away, you guys either spend that last minute complaining about anything or anybody. Or maybe just quickly catch up a bit before you guys don't see each other again for who knows how long.

— Now, when you're also a killer that's a whole different thing. He can see you whenever he wants to! Both of you can complain together, hate together, that's so romantic to them! While the others do beg to differ but who cares about their opinion, really? It's just you and 1x1x1x1 against the world.

— I wouldn't say he's gonna be your number one fan when you're in a round since you don't need unnecessary boost. Be angry! Be hateful! Let it all out on the survivors! Or perhaps target someone you absolutely despise! They know you can do it, no doubt.

— 1x1x1x1 probably isn't one for praise..? At least expressing it in a way that can come out as positive, you're like the only one she doesn't hate, so, perhaps the best he managed to shoot out was "you're the LAST person I'd start to despise", which honestly works. A compliment from them is a compliment, either take it or leave it.

— In a way this proves that 1x1x1x1 isn't just a negative Nancy. They're surprisingly capable of feeling other things outside of pure hatred, whether or not he hates the fact is up for interpretation.

— They're just... Oddly happy to have someone stick around with them, especially cause hey, both of you are haters. That's the best thing they could ever have gotten from a romantic partner and she's definitely not gonna take it for granted.

Since some of you enjoyed my Uncle Thorin headcanons, I thought I'd share some for Dwalin.

Dwalin headcanons nobody can dissuade me from, part 1:

he's a big old softie

Thorin might be his king, but he is also his best friend, and so Dwalin sees it as his duty to mock him relentlessly on a regular basis

they bicker like an old married couple

Fíli and Kíli might not normally call him uncle, but he is their uncle in every way

the main reason for his hair loss is probably the fact that Kíli more or less spent his childhood sitting on Dwalin's shoulders and holding onto his mohawk

to this day whenever Fíli looks at him with big blue eyes and calls him Uncle Dwalin, while Kíli stands next to him with a wobbly chin, he has a hard time saying no

he snores even worse than Thorin. Sometimes he startles himself awake by it

he's a crier

he might appear to be all taciturn and grumpy, but he is actually a great conversationalist and very good at giving advice

he acts like he dislikes gossip, but his ears are wide open and mentally he clutches his pearls

whenever he is worried, he goes to his big brother to talk about it

instead of singing, he shouts

during the quest he is scared of accidentally stepping on Bilbo

he likes to stare menacingly at people he doesn't like

unfortunately he also stares menacingly at people he does like. That's why he is still single

he lost part of his ear in a freak sex accident

he polishes his bald head every morning

every winter he wears a woollen hat with earflaps and a bobble Balin made for him. Nobody dares to laugh at him

he's a cuddler

he gives great hugs

he and Balin live together

whenever they have a mouse in their home, Balin has to shoo it out, while Dwalin stands on a chair armed with one of his axes

Balin pinches his cheek and tweaks his nose on a regular basis and calls him baby brother. Dwalin acts like he hates it, but he doesn't

he sighs a lot, especially when Thorin (or Kíli) pulls another one of his stupid stunts

he's a sore loser

he might have a weird crush on Nori

he might also have a weird crush on Bofur

he is very confused about it himself and continues to stare menacingly and stay single

(tbc)

Well. I stand before you -checks notes- 5k words into a raised at St. Agnes with Matt, and now a priest Dex fic.

And ya wanna know what's fucked up.

4k of that is not the first chapter.

I need my ADHD to lock the fuck in and not be hyper focused on Father Lantom POV.

Father Lantom POV btw is just:

Wow those two sure are autistic.

cousin bonding time (I like to imagine that Maedhros is the one who tied baby Finrod's hair!)

sorry for being suddenly inactive here lately, Things Happened and I haven't really had the time to sit down and draw until this week ;-; hope this little sketch can make up for it!

[aroaceleovaldez]

i would like to say my ideal PJO adaptation (if i was being physically forced against my will to have to pick a live action adaptation over an animated one for some reason) would be a combo like writing of the musical + casting of the show + visuals of the movies

BUT the show actually does have the playwright for the musical as one of the major writers for like three episodes and that did nothing for it. so...

[bloodydeanwinchester]

okay this fic is such a good depiction of s5 dean & cas and s5 deancas but also this part fucking sent me 💀💀

flying in circles inside a jar

[camellcat]

with u liking angel overall what do u think of spike and angel dynamics and relationship? like what they are thinking about each other? or their characterisation and whatever

i actually like ats and i really like angel in a good day (hating him in a bad day) but havent watched ats s5 cus "yayyy look theres spike! but his characterisation is butchered. enjoy!" just discouraged me from continue watching 💀

I do genuinely think spangel dynamic is fun to watch. spike riles angel up like no one else and angel constantly snaps at him when he's so much calmer around literally everyone but him. the thing that gets me though is the fact that's the ENTIRE dynamic

with spangel, and talking to one of my friends really pointed this out for me, the issue is to me is how utterly stagnate they are. over a hundred years, and their relationship has barely progressed from where it started. angel tries to tear spike down or is otherwise being pretty indifferent about him, and spike wars between trying to be different from angel and falling in line bc he also desperately craves angel's approval. he's like dru or buffy, he's another person angel has really really hurt, even if spike does fair better off than the girls overall. hates him, wants him, and angel really couldn't care less. it's just sad to me when I think about it beyond them being a comic relief in the show

now, for spike's character. in the beginning, he REALLY feels different. I mean we're talking I was shouting at the screen asking why we were back in seasons 4 and 5 type of spike you're gonna be seeing. but the longer you go on, the more you can really SEE s7 spike. he's not... he's different here. but I think you can very very easily rationalize it as armour bc that is sort of what it feels like. he's harsher here because he has to be, because buffy nor the bit are around to help him let down his guard. he can't trust anyone in this place and NO ONE likes him. how could he be softer? he'd be eaten alive if he tried. you can see it in his body language the most, which utterly fascinates me. I wouldn't shut up about it while watching I loved it. the closest we get to a sweeter spike is around fred and around her exclusively. I think as I've said previously that angel also brings out the absolute worst in spike. being around angel seems to revert spike as being around spike seems to revert angel. they're just really terrible for each other, causing both of them to act like worse versions of themselves. so yeah spike in ats is rough but not y'know the most terrible character assassination I've ever seen. he's just got some fucking awful ooc moments occasionally that you gotta pretend didn't happen (cough cough how he interacts with harmony at all times after the entirety of his growth in s7 cough cough) or you gotta learn to rationalize his behaviour really quick like I did

The Republic of Salt

book two in The Mirror Realm Cycle, historical fantasy set in an alternate Inquisition era Spain

in the human world, Toba and Asmel are on the run, pursued by the Courser and demons

Naftaly, Barsilay, Elena, and the old woman are traveling across the Mazik realm until they reach Zayit - which will soon be under siege by the Cacador due to its trade in salt, which poisons Maziks - and must find a way to save the city and stop the conquest of both worlds

A trend in Astarion fics that I find bizarre is the idea that he's never been treated gently during sex. This is difficult to believe for one simple reason: some of Astarion's victims were virgins.

Astarion: You were handsome. Shy. You'd never been kissed. Sebastian: You taught me how. And then you destroyed me.

I get the desire to make his current partner special by having their sex be good and wholesome in comparison to his other trysts, but this is a flawed sentiment. The cutscene of that first night together is incredibly tender from the kiss to laying on the grass - the only outlier being if you offer your neck - and if you sleep with Astarion but keep it at that night, Astarion himself says he will never forget you. Not because the PC was uniquely gentle with him in bed, but because they were the first person he ever slept with of his own free will. It's his choice that makes that night special to him moreso than anything the PC may or may not have done during that time.

Fanfic Opening Lines

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your latest fanfics (or up to if you have less!) & tag 10 people.

Thank you so much for the tag @unchaineddaisychain (ONE OF LITERATURE'S MOST ESTEEMED WRITERS I SWEAR. A 10, IN OTHER WORDS)!! Even though I only typically write once in a blue moon, it's always fun to "draw" via words sometimes. 👀 That All The Pretty Boys opening is soooo cold by the way IT GIVE ME CHILLS. aaAA YOU ARE AN EXPERT AT ESTABLISHING ATMOSPHERE. And Stuart's undeniable frustrations...

"Sentimentality is a form of weakness. Don’t let it cloud your mind, don’t let it control your decisions. Soon enough, it’ll do nothing but suffocate." - Not linking this particular fic because I posted it anonymously on purpose and want public distance from it... Proud of what I was able to do with it though. 🙏

It was easiest for Alan to relax on trains. - Contentment (Relatively Speaking) (I LOVE HOW THIS ONE TURNED OUT)

(Cheating with the next six, from each section of my 5+1 Things, Bring It On Home To Me)

To the outside world, this must’ve looked like “the beginning of the end”. However, Alan knew that he was past the end; this was already the epilogue.

Stumbling to the phone, Alan was surprised he had the ability to dial, much less remember this particular number at all.

Alan was no stranger to finding solidarity at the strangest times and places.

He didn’t need to apologize; there was nothing to apologize for.

When had Alan intended to speak to a member of the Animals again?

The aftermath of a concert could be exhilarating. And it could be depressing, if Alan let himself think too much.

The arrival back at their flat, after a late-night gig, was a relatively routine affair. Chas liked to call it “anarchy” but Alan usually just called it “annoying”. - Take It Easy (goooosh from 2021,,)

Me: jokingly alludes to leaving for a few weeks but refusing to explain to my very codependent coworker

Him: photoshops me and him into a photo of Hell On Earth and says this is what it will do if I do that

[windrunner]

my derangement

not even projecting too hard i just think both of them are like this fr

^^^ my evil and horrible guygals (heart emojis flying around my head) ^^

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

obsessed with their different reactions to being called starcrossed lovers

[camellcat]

it confuses me when people say they like willow or xander and then get all uncomfortable and condemning about, like... major parts about them. you don't like that they're wildly possessive of which often leads them to acting irrational and awful...... which is like one of their biggest traits? oh, and you hate that they're not fantastic friends to buffy............. which is also like. how they are. pretty much the entire time we know them. okay!

wow, you find xander to be annoying bc he's a dumb dude who seriously needs to unlearn some ideals and really outta treat his girlfriends nicer. I'm dismayed at his typical guy-ness. bummer, we don't enjoy that willow is like totally abusive when it comes to exerting whatever power can get over people. that sure is a bad thing she does.

I just. I like them BECAUSE of these things idk how the hell you could possibly separate these things from them and still enjoy these characters it boggles my mind

[honeydots]

Explain your ships as best you can, and as worst you can

okay just for xander and laslow BUT

best: a prince and his retainer who seem drastically apart find closeness and similarity both in their burdens, and how they carry them. in all the love they give to others and how they don't often grant it to themselves. they use their differences to bring out something good in each other, and start figuring themselves out along the way, too.

worst: "im dating my boss and it Gets Worse"

[mooshys]

erm…
