#i wonder if anyone will actually read this hahha

[infamous-if]

i was wondering how were both MC & Seven like in middle school? like what grade did they meet, how they met and how they became friends & all.

i love the interactions with the members, + Sebastian & August. they’re both so awkward I love it LOL.

I've been asked to do a timeline so I'll do a breakdown of that and when Orion joined and when Seven left when I get the chance haha

They met in 7th grade (they weren't in the same class in 6th) as they were assigned to the same class and ended up being at the same class table. In my experience (and ik other american schools do it differently) none of the classes moved but the teachers instead rotated, which means Seven and MC were sitting together all. day. Naturally, they got close. They started sitting together in lunch and would walk home/sit on the bus together as Seven didn't really talk to anyone else.

All throughout middle and high school Seven was pretty quiet. Edit: actually quiet doesn’t seem to describe it well. I don’t think they were quiet but more like they minded their business. They got bullied just a little (before their mother nipped that in the bud) and didn't speak much. MC and Seven stayed besties but I like to think they did have their own circles in hs. Seven cut class and was a bit of a rebellious student but nothing too bad. Hung around the musicians and actually was part of marching band for a while, but Seven has always kept to themselves a bit. In the demo, Seven is off to the side reading...that's what they usually did in hs. Pep rallys, lunch, back of class, they just had a book in their hand and preferred to stay away from everyone else.

they were the "not like other girls" student yeah yeah

Their best class was--you guessed it--Literature and English. They were kind of annoyingly participative. hahha

Meanwhile I think Rowan slept through class all four years of high school...

(betterdays spoilers ment) gasp!! yes i'd been using the website for reference after finishing the first time! i'd actually been wondering about deku, esp after timeline 4 where katsuki's parents are wary about him and katsuki being isolated from everyone. having all versions of deku be true is fascinating, esp with timeline 1 having him hide all of this yet being the Truth timeline...! it's almost heartbreaking that we know so much from jumping around but katsuki will never know everything.

i reread timeline 2 and god it's terrifying that after everything they're literally the only 2 humans left. when katsuki gets his memories back (i assume he does at some point?) how does he feels about deku? i can't imagine things going back to how they were before even with the knowledge. was so excited to read your response, thanks again !!

AAH I can’t remember if Katsuki’s parents explain, but it’s because Deku distanced Katsuki from them/took up all of Katsuki’s time so most of the time they just got phone calls from Katsuki on holidays and that’s it. SO ITS A COMBINATION OF THAT and Katsuki’s subconscious concerns bleeding into the NPCs around him.

What you said about Katsuki never knowing everything HAS ME SHOOKENING. ITS SO TRUE.

ALSO, HUGE SPOILER. LIKE, THE BIGGEST SPOILERS because these were never written even tho I really want to finish betterdays it just isn’t realistic unless I retire like rn HAHHA

There’s like one timeline where Deku doesn’t kill everyone in the spaceship and I think it’s the ones where Katsuki doesn’t “give in” to Deku as much. Cuz Timeline 2 you play right into Deku’s grubby little hands muahahaha and now he’s GREEDY and doesn’t want ANYONE ELSE to have Katsuki so he diverts all power from Mina, Kirishima, and Todoroki’s cells to keep Katsuki’s simulation going (effectively killing them).

If the others stay alive longer (I.e. Deku hasn’t gotten a TASTE FOR KATSUKI’S FLESH) then more power gets used, Todoroki gets booted out of his simulation to save on power (not unlike what happened to Deku) and TODOROKI FIGURES OUT REAL QUICK THAT DEKU’S FUCKING WITH KATSUKI’S SIMULATION. DEKU KILLS HIM.

And so basically Katsuki ends up finding evidence of the MURDER and that’s how he wises up in the super fake Deku timelines where Deku’s acting his ASS off (but not before a WHIRLWIND ROMANCE OF COURSE 😏)

[sxnfullyswxetobsxssions]

I will go down with the ship that is Al and Finn and I don’t care what anyone else says, you’re a genius and perfect for writing such a story !

Finally al and Finn kiss and it’s everything I ever wanted ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I’ve been wanting this almost as much as al and finn and reading it happen makes me happier than anything!

Since we’ve seen so much from finns POV I don’t think we’ve gotten a clear idea about how much al wanted finn this whole time. I only realized it when he went into the bathroom where finn was to give him a “clean towel” hahahah

Part of me wanted finn and al to really *do it (let that twink be destroyed hhahaha) but I know that finn is inexperienced and al doesn’t wanna pressure him and both want to take this relationship seriously— I can’t wait to see what obstacles they have to overcome next -

Vance and Terence are the biggest obstacles right now and I have no idea how that will go. With Vance, I’m sure al hates him for sending his little minions to shoplift and cause trouble hahah but seeing them interact should be tense and interesting……. After their little showdown in chapter 5 or so in the grab n go, I’m sure they’ll have a lot to say to each other

Ok with Terence, I don’t like him that much - I’m sorry but him being an absent drunk doesn’t sit well with me. I know he lost his wife but Finn and Gwen lost their mom and they deserve to have a dad that’s involved in their life. I know Terence wants finn to toughen up and his whole tough love act is a way of trying to protect Finn but still, there are other ways to be there for Finn. The beating he gave Finn still makes my heart ache ……..

I’m lowkey wanting Al to pummel Terence and proclaim his place as Finn’s new caretaker and father figure but that’s just me hahahha —- I do wonder how they’ll interact though ? Like Terence would be confronting and angry probably but Al might either be calm or he might be kind of manipulative and conniving because he does have a darker side ….

Gwen and Robin and max ? Oooh I can’t wait to see their reactions !

I think Gwen was already suspicious of al because she saw the way he kept looking at our precious finney in the first chapter. Hearing that al and finn are together will def make her upset and she’ll probably won’t cover for him if she finds out …… will she try to talk finn out of it ?

As for Robin, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Him protecting Finn in chap 10 made me scream and wanna give him the best present reward ever !!

How will the protective best friend react when he meets the possessive boyfriend ?

Robin will not be happy to hear that amber is actually Al Hahha but he might be accepting eventually given that he knows Finn is his best friend and that bisexual people do exist/Finn could be queer ? Imagine Robin swinging on Al once he catches him in the act ahhaha id pay to see that happen

Max is such a loveable goofball and I think he cares very much for his brother but I’m kind of thinking that he’d show a firm position against Al and Finn and kind of think his brother was taking advantage of an impressionable young boy with no father figure. He might butt heads with Al too and that’s gonna be so interesting!!!

Anyway, you’re the best author ever and you’ve made my life so much better and more fun with your writing ! I’ll never stop being a fan and if anyone ever insults you, tell me Their address so I can find and destroy them !!!

i am so sorry for how late this response is, but please know that i am so incredibly grateful for this comment/ask!! thank you so much for your sweet words, they mean more to me than you’ll ever know! ♥︎ and believe me when i say i’m right with you on that ship!! al and finney are the superior pairing!! x

omg i’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the kiss scene!! i certainly felt the pressure writing it haha, i wanted everything to be perfect and the buildup to have been worth it!

a lot of other readers have been asking for a chapter/segment written from al’s p.o.v., too, and i think it’s an absolutely brilliant idea! i’ve already formulated quite a few segments from his p.o.v. and i think it’ll be really interesting to see the nature of his feelings toward finney; especially since he is such a morally ambiguous character. and that “clean towel” move he pulled lordddd... as nice as he is and as much as he loves his boy, he can be so creepy lmao. but we all love him for it.

i knowwww, but as tempted as i am to delve straight into the smutty goodness, i have to ensure i maintain proper characterisation and an element of realism. 😩 al is absolutely feral for finney, but he has to try his hardest to suppress it so as not to overwhelm the boy or accidentally scare him off. he’s finney’s first in all matters romantic, so he’ll really take the time to teach finney how to feel good and make him feel good at a pace the boy is comfortable with.

you’re absolutely right, vance and terrence are their biggest obstacles right now. they’re both so temperamental, too, so finney and al will have to be really careful about the way they go about navigating their way out of such a tricky situation. i’ll say this on the matter, though—we definitely haven’t seen the last of vance. i can say that with indisputable certainty. and he will interact with al in a chapter or two if everything goes to plan, so their strained relationship will be sorely emphasised. they hate each other’s guts, just like you said. but i have to agree with you, it just makes their interactions/scenes together so much more interesting and tense. who doesn’t love a bit of drama haha?

terrence is a very complex and layered character, much like the others. we know what he’s doing is wrong, he knows what he’s doing is wrong, and yet he can’t seem to escape this constant loop of trying to love and protect his children but ending up abusing them instead. it’s the cycle of abuse. he means well (most of the time), but i’m with you on this one. it’s absolutely no excuse to behave the way he does, or to treat his children the way he does. by trying to protect finney and forcing him to suppress certain elements of his sexuality, he’s inadvertently driven him straight into the arms of a man older than him.

oh, don’t you worry. al hasn’t forgotten about the beating his boy had to endure...

i think the way he’ll go about resolving the issue with terrence will be the biggest headfuck. i’ve seen a lot of people theorise and try to guess what he’ll do or how he’ll handle it (which i absolutely love; i will never shut up about how much i frickin’ love getting comments/asks theorising what’s gonna happen next or how al will deal with terrence) but the way he actually does deal with it is so much more... i don’t wanna necessarily say ‘twisted’, but i will say weird. then again, al’s a weird guy, so it’s to be expected. in regards to the darker elements of his character, once again, you’re right on the money. he will absolutely utilise manipulation as a tactic to combat vance and terrence...

yep! gwen has already clocked the weirdo magician who kept staring at her brother at susie’s party, so she won’t be so easily assuaged. being a very intense and combative character, she won’t be too happy and her reaction has the potential to be quite intense, which is absolutely fair. she loves her brother beyond reason, beyond words, and would do absolutely anything to protect him.

robinnnnn!!! 😩🙏🏻♥︎♥︎♥︎ that boy has my whole heart, he’s so sweet! he’s so protective of finney it makes me sob, i love them so much.

there’s really no way of telling how he’ll find out about finney and al, nor how he’ll react. much like gwen, though, he’s a very intense character, so his reaction is bound to be ruthless. yikes. there’s a 99.99% chance he’ll start swinging at al, no questions asked hahahaha. he isn’t aware of finney’s sexual orientation as of yet, no. he might have slight suspicions, but it’s not something they’ve discussed in terrible depth. finney is so deep in the closet he might as well have stumbled into narnia lmao.

yesssssss omg max is such a loveable goofball, i wanna put him in my pocket. he has a complicated relationship with al due to their childhood (which i’ll delve into a little more in future chapters) but ultimately, they love and care about each other very much. that’s why it’s so hard for him to come to terms with the fact that his brother might be engaging in inappropriate behaviour and an entirely illegal/immoral relationship with a 16/17-year-old boy. he’s very conflicted about it. it is, most understandably, a great source of discomfort for him.

this is so sweet, oh my goodness, thank you so much!! i’m very honoured to have earned such high praise! you’ve made my entire year, i’m so grateful for you! thank you for taking the time to read rust & stardust and leaving such a beautiful comment/ask! sending much love!! xx ♥︎♥︎♥︎

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Heya, how are you?

I was just watching 'the proposal' and thought that it would be amazing as a johnlock. John = Andrew and Sherlock = Margaret, John wants to publish his book about a detective. Sherlock takes John for granted. I don't know, I was just wondering if there is an au of that film?? Or just something similar if not an actual au.

Thank you, I wish you well, Basil.

Hey Nonny!

OMG It's a dumb but funny movie, it's a guilty pleasure movie for me, hahha.

Yeah, I would love to read an AU myself, and I'm not sure if anyone has written or read one! I want to say maybe @morganeuk might have something similar written or planned for in their Rom Com adaptations?

Anyone know of any Proposal AUs?

Chapter 10: I Ruin a Perfectly Good Bus 10/04/21

Feel free to join in with our read along of The Lightning Thief - here's all the info

I love that Annabeth is taking a book on the quest in case she gets bored- a girl of my own heart

OF COURSE Grover listens to Hilary Duff lmao. Do you think he knows 'what dreams are made of' from the Lizzie McGuire movie

I was wondering if Maia was a reference to something so I stuck it into google translate and apparently it means midwife in greek?? that can't be right. there's no way the word that gets the magic shoes to fly is 'midwife' :////

ahhhh okay I've done some more digging and apparently Maia is the name of Hermes's mum- now that makes a lot more sense

Also sounds like Zeus's relationship with Maia was non-consensual. Not as bad as the swan situation but still. This is why Zeus sucks.

"Grover went flying sideways down the hill like a possessed lawnmower" hahha

It's interesting that Chiron says Hercules rather than Heracles

Actually the whole Hercules vs Heracles thing is v interesting in that I can't think of any other instance where the roman name has caught on over the greek. Maybe Neptune I guess. Anyone know why that is?

Wow riptide really said "sorry babe if ur human it's not even worth my energy trying to kill u" #rude

eeeeekkk the narrative that Athena caught Poseidon in her temple 'with his girlfriend' is a bit yikes

Obviously I understand this is a book for kids, and myths vary from version to version anyway but do think it's worth noting that a lot of versions depict this as yet another non-consensual relationship

Which honestly makes it worse that Athena gets mad at Medusa as well as Poseidon. I do think it's interesting that Athena can be presented as very #girlpower but there really aren't many instances of her having positive interactions/relationships with women in greek mythology

If you’re interested in reading more about Medusa and the role of women in greek mythology I'd 100% recommend checking out 'Pandora's Jar' by Natalie Haynes! I read it a couple of months ago and it's a 5/5, very colloquial and readable with lots of insights into the role of women in greek mythology and how and why it's changed over time

This chapter title is fake news. They're getting on another Greyhound bus which, by definition, is NOT a 'perfectly good bus'.

Idk how I feel about the fact that Gabe smells "repulsively human"

Like I get it from a narrative standpoint but it also feels like it's saying Gabe is the epitome of human, if you had something that was 100% fully fledged pure human you'd get Gabe

And I'm not sure I like that. I'd like to think that humans are good at their core and we're not all just people trying our best not to revert back to our natural Gabe-like tendencies

And I reading too deep into this? Yes. Anyway Sally is a trooper and and icon for sticking with Gabe for Percy's sake and I love her

This scene of them playing hackey sack with an apple is so pure!

Did nobody think to give Grover a weapon? Or anything other than a tin can?

Gotta be honest lads, this quest isn't off to a great start

“i can hold the world in my hands” extra notes i - vi:

My god... it’s been more than a month since I started writing for TWST, and this was what started it all.  I hope I can keep writing, and not just for TWST for that matter! I have like... one non-TWST request sitting in my inbox and I’m really excited to work on it xD

*please do not read if you haven’t read “i can hold the world in my hands” ver i - vi.

This was actually inspired by a prompt of the same name in a different fandom. I’m pretty sure it was Fire Emblem, but I can’t seem to find or remember which blog posted about it. When I saw that nobody had written it for TWST yet, and because I was pretty impatient, I went full Thanos and thought: “fine I’ll do it myself.” xD

Whenever I type ‘hold’ it autocorrects to (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿. It’s one of those keyboard short cut things on my phone that somehow is also on my laptop lmao. So this series was pretty difficult to right because ‘hold’ kept changing to (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿ 

For ver i, the order of writing was something like Riddle, Leona, Azul, Malleus, Kalim, Idia and Vil.

Riddle was super easy for this prompt, honestly. I wanted it to be incredibly cute, and the best way to do that was to just... fluster him. 

I tried to be very descriptive for this one. I wanted his surprise to be the highlight of this story. I especially enjoyed differentiating the red on Riddle’s face hahah--from pretty shade of red to furious HAHA.

Riddle strikes me as a super logical type. So he really won’t believe it’s possible until you show him how to hold the world. He also sees it as very high praise--that to think--you saw him as your world. Every time he thinks about it, he probably goes beet red. 

When I wrote Leona’s part, I was still actually pretty iffy with him. I’ve noted before that he was far from my favourite hahah. However, just because that’s how I felt, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do my hardest to give him justice. Looking back on this piece, I appreciate it a lot because Leona’s definitely got a soft spot in my heart now--this piece being one such catalyst that made me appreciate him more. 

One of my primary concerns with this piece, was not only ensuring that I did him justice, but also to make sure that none of my personal feelings affected how i wrote Leona. I like to think I was pretty successful--as I read it now, I wonder how I could’ve actually disliked Leona at any point. (I MEAN... that ending IS PRETTY THIRSTY. I wonder what I was thinking kFKFK)

Leona... is another logical one, and he’s not going to be patient with you. So he’s just going to immediately call out the impossibility of “holding the world in your hands.” However, when you do talk about what you actually mean... Leona would actually be moved. He loves how you acknowledge him--that you see him. 

The Azul piece was written closely after I had watched the entirety of Octavinelle, and I could see all my thirst for the Octavinelle trio on it. That’s right, from the very beginning, I loved to enjoy hinting at Poly!Octavinelle. I’ll likely continue to hint it actually... unless requested otherwise. 

Azul has one of the biggest praise kinks around (Riddle and Jamil have it too), and of course something as sweet as “i can hold the world in my hands” is going to set Azul off running for his octopus pot. Also, he cries very easily--like when he’s too happy and too sad. Azul’s story in this is definitely my favourite, because I just genuinely had such a good time working on it. 

His reaction--his affection for you is likely to lead him to listen to what you have to say first before saying anything else. That’s why unlike Riddle and Leona, he actually heard you out instead of telling you immediately that what you’re saying “is impossible.” 

This prompt and Kalim worked really well honestly. Kalim is just so much positivity, so writing his reaction to this was so easy, and it flowed so much quicker than I thought it would. 

Kalim... honestly, he wrote himself hAHAH. It was easy to know that he’d immediately try to say it back to you--because he’s that sweet. Also, I quoted “A Whole New World” in this story. I wonder if anyone spotted it. 

His reaction--well, it was obvious that he would believe you without a doubt. xD Sure he probably knows it’s not possible, so he’s more than willing to hear you out on it. 

Because Vil was a model, I thought to approach this piece in a, “what can I say that he hasn’t heard yet?” I also wanted to approach this with a certain sensitivity--to Vil’s job as a model. The importance of respecting his craft, sort of thing.

Vil so far... has just been portrayed as being perfect. He’s good looking, he’s smart, he’s charismatic...so it’s obvious to everyone that there’s something deeper to him that we haven’t gotten to see yet. This makes it difficult to write him, because we haven’t gotten Pomefiore’s chapter yet. 

Vil is someone who I figure would be smart enough to wonder if you’re speaking in a metaphorical or literal sense. I can’t remember where it’s mentioned, but if I remember correctly--Vil considers being intelligent a part of being beautiful too. (I’m so genuinely excited for Pomefiore’s chapter because I need to sink my hands into all that lore). 

The reason I think Idia is much easier to write compared to Vil is because he exemplifies the introverted gamer trope so much. His personality is so clear cut, and loud. 

Idia is also pretty fun to write, because of the way he regards the world, and how he sort of deals with everything around him.

For Idia’s reaction, I figured he’d tend to go for gamer terms, hence he thought you could code too lmao. He also tended to process things as if his life is a game, hence his thought process as he figured out what you were trying to say. 

Malleus, because of both his age and prowess, strikes me as the type of person who could do every single type of magic with barely a blink. That’s why I thought to use that as the primary theme for his story.

I thought it would be adorable if you told Malleus, you could do something he couldn’t. Which, as you can see in Malleus’s thoughts--you are a powerful influence to him as well. You could perhaps, destroy the world, if you told Malleus it made you unhappy. 

Malleus’s reaction... he’d humor you, but at the same time, he’d be the one to gently attempt to tell you it’s impossible. If he couldn’t do it, how could you? Of course... he’s quickly corrected. 

Ver ii was written in the order it was arranged! Quite a rarity for me. So Deuce first, followed by Jade, Floyd then Silver. I consider version ii as the one stuffed with personal favourites hahah. Though... Deuce was actually written for my editor hahha. 

I wanted Deuce’s piece to be both funny and cute since it was dedicated to our very hardworking editor hahaha. 

Of course Deuce would not immediately understand what you were trying to say hahaha. Look... he thought the unfertilized eggs would turn into chicks. 

The decision to make him say it back, was fueled by the fact that Deuce is an all around nice guy--he’d definitely want to return the favour. 

The Jade one was really just written for my sake hAHHA. I wrote it because I was super smitten with Jade. I always wrote Jade as the type of lover who enjoyed to pamper the hell out of his partner. This could often make it feel like he’s the one doing everything in the relationship.

That became the primary way I wanted to approach this story, by once more--making it about the reader doing something for Jade, or essentially showing him how much he meant to the reader. I also wanted to find a way to make Jade blush. 

Much like Azul, he’s willing to humor/hear you out first before saying anything else. He’s always interested in what you have to say, and he enjoys your more unpredictable opinions. 

Honestly, who wouldn’t want to cuddle with Floyd? He (and Jade) probably give the best hugs. 

My thoughts for this, was--when would be the best time to tell Floyd something like that? You wanted him calm enough to actually listen to you, so I figured it be when he was particularly sad and in need of cheering up.

On another note, I felt like Floyd isn’t really the type to listen nor care about you saying such a statement. You only really get all his attention when you explain to him what you mean. 

I’m so biased to Octavinelle, I’m so sorry hAHAH. But honestly, it happened by complete accident that both their stories happened in the bedroom ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º) 

Silver is... aesthetically very pleasing. However, there’s little we know of him so I also had a lot of difficulty writing for him. That being said, because he was a character who fell asleep pretty quickly, I of course thought it would be incredibly cute to have the “lap pillow” situation happen. 

For this piece, I thought to talk about my worry for Silver. That he falls asleep just anywhere is a little scary. He fell asleep in a place as noisy as the courtyard... so I thought to express that worry through the reader for this piece. 

Silver does, however, strike me as the type of person to always listen to you first before making a judgement. That’s why upon being told that you could hold the world, he’ll listen to you first. 

Ver iii was just solely Jamil! 

Jamil is another one of those characters who prefer to do the pampering instead of being pampered. So I thought to write a reader who was grateful, and wanted to show their appreciation to him.

For this piece, I also really wanted to fluster the hell out of Jamil. I mean, who doesn’t like making the calm, controlled one blush? It’s insanely cute.

While Jamil does say he doesn’t believe in it, he is always willing to hear you out. 

Ver iv is Ruggie, Rook and Lilia! I think Lilia was written first, followed by Ruggie then Rook. 

For Ruggie... I think I was a little stumped on how to write him. So I think I searched up how hyenas greeted each other. Apparently, they sniffed each other. So I thought it would be cute that Ruggie liked to scent you. 

I made him get a little jealous because Floyd’s very affectionate--even if you aren’t in a relationship with him. 

Ruggie--I thought would give you the benefit of the doubt--and think that there was actually magic in your world hahah. Until you tell him what you truly meant.

I’ve probably said this a billion times at this point, but god is Rook hard to write for hahah. Nevertheless, I keep writing him anyways because I enjoy the challenge. 

I thought that Rook’s story becomes the opposite to Ruggie’s, wherein the reader is the one who wants to ensure that Rook is also looking/paying attention to them, 

Rook wasn’t actually paying attention to you when you were saying “i can hold the world in my hands”, he only really does notice when you repeat it twice. He’s a guy I think you have to be firm with, if you want to get your point across.

Lilia is a character that I’m sure is pretty self-assured, and aware of what he wants. This means, that he’s actually a pretty huge tease to the other person in the relationship. This isn’t necessarily a romantic headcanon either. I can see him teasing his friends too.

I also highlighted immortality again, how Lilia is rarely surprised. That you are capable of surprising him means a lot to him actually. 

Lilia, I think, is the type of person who is willing to lean new things from people younger than him. That’s why when you state you can hold the world, he’s willing to believe you. 

Ver v is Trey!

Say it with me everyone, Trey is the sexiest student at NRC lmao. That smirk??? of his??? SENDS ME? It’s also why I made him smirk so much in this. Hey, I had to feed myself too.

How could I forget Trey? Trey is the third person in the “i will pamper the hell out of my lover” with Jade and Jamil. Trey would be another one who actually enjoys teasing the hell out of you too.

Trey is another one who won’t believe you, but will be willing to hear you out because you’re just so cute, and he wants to hear what you think.

Ver vi is Ace, Jack, Epel and Sebek. I think I wrote Ace, then Sebek, Jack with Epel being the last one. 

Ace strikes me as a typical charismatic tease tbh. Like, he’s popular, and well known for being a troublemaker but everyone likes him anyways.

He’s not a person who blushes easily, so I think you really have to catch him unaware for him to blush. 

He’s the type of person to say something mean, then immediately apologize and retract it when he sees that it hurts you. So he’s normally blunt, but then back tracks. 

Jack isn’t a very affectionate person--neither is he the type to tell you how much he appreciates you. I believe it’s something you have to learn in the way he acts (aka, how hard he’s wagging his tail haha).

I think for a relationship with Jack, you have to really reach out to him because he doesn’t quite know how to reach back to you. Like he’ll certainly try, but he’s easily embarrassed... hence why I wrote him the way I did. 

Jack, once you told him you could ‘hold the world’ was initially confused, but sees no reason to not believe you unless you prove otherwise... essentially xD

Epel... super difficult as always. I wanted to talk about how he wasn’t very happy with how he looked. How he wanted to change himself. It was a topic I was worried about, because if mishandled, it would just leave a sour taste in people’s mouths.

I wanted to make the reader someone who wanted Epel to love himself, to accept his beauty and to use it as a source of strength. I want Epel to be comfortable in his own skin, and be able to use it to his advantage. This was really inspired by Lilia’s SR Lab Coat episodes actually. 

The reader is someone conscious about Epel’s struggles, and they want to get one thing across to Epel: that he can be beautiful and strong at the same time. Just because the may seem opposite, doesn’t mean they cannot coexist. 

Sebek... I feel like I discussed how I felt about Sebek some time ago. Essentially... I think that Sebek is someone who, in a romantic relationship, has to make a choice. His devotion and single minded adoration to Malleus makes him challenging to write romantically for. 

Unlike the other readers, Sebek’s uses the prompt to prove a point to him--that they chose him. Could he chose them too?

At the end, it’s not really about choosing one person, it’s more like--can Sebek understand the importance of being in a relationship? Can he understand that what you might share with him has value? Really, a question about his priorities.

Prompt for Damien haas x reader -> fluff!!! coworkers at smosh, Damien is super shy and reader is super flirty and teases him a lot until he actually makes a move??? Do with that what you will lol

n/a: whoa kay, hi anon. thank u for the lovely request. this would actually be my first time to take in request, and the first time to make a characterxreader genre so forgive me for the errors. thank you for the request and i would like to apologize again becaaaause i am new to this smosh fandom (I have known them way back then and only watched smosh again because of their board AF series so..) and i hope you would like this.

-still taking requests so~~ give me time tho hahaha another note. sorry it might have a little feelsy feels in the middle lmao

Summary: You’ve become smitten of Damien ever since, and you love to tease and kind of flirt with him because he would always turn red. However, in the middle of these so-called feelings, you’ve come to the conclusion that maybe, maybe Damien doesn’t like you back. Maybe the reason why he’s shy was that he felt so awkward when you are around him.

And so, the feels begin.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You smiled at the envelopes on your hands. The marketing team was already done with the promotional pictures, and it all looked awesome. All those hard work through production was all worth it.

Of course, you, from the Sales department volunteered to bring it to the squad because, well, even though you were at the office side, you were more close to the production side.

“I have pictures!” You announced cheerily as you opened the door. Courtney and Noah who was near the entrance stood up and got the envelopes according to their names. “Here ya go!”

“Thank you Y/N!” Courtney beamed you a smile and you handed the rest to the squad. You walked up to Damien and you grinned, pushing your hair onto the back of your ear.

“Here,”

“Thank you!” He said happily and you can’t help but notice his cheeks were always pink. It’s adorable. “You look good there,” You commented and you swore his cheeks turned red. “I- uhm, hahha,” He laughed lowly, avoiding eye contact.

You pouted internally but just gave him a cheeky smile, “Well, see you around!”

“Hey YN, wanna hang out after work?” Shayne spoke and the others agreed.

To be honest, it has become a routine for you to hang out with them. The difference between the departments was never a hindrance because you easily became friends with Olivia and the rest was history.

Then you met Damien. When Damien first entered Smosh, you were smitten. He was kind of shy at first but then he opened up. The thing that you liked about him was that he gets shy whenever he rants about anime to you and then he would suddenly apologize. You two were pretty close but you still wonder why Damien never seemed to speak so much when you are around.

You always see him being all talkative and a goofball to others but not to you.

You were curious.

One time you two were alone in the lunchroom and you looked up from the document you were reading. You caught him looking at you.

“Yes, Dames?”

“Uhm—Nothing!” He looked back at his food and continued to eat.

Ever since then, you always wanted to tease him. He was cute.

“Oh, cool!” You grinned towards Shayne then turned to look at Damien, “You’re going too, right?”

“Y-yes,” Damien answered and you giggled.

Shayne, Keith, and Noah was actually watching the whole scene happening and they just wished for Damien to just ask you out quickly.

 ~

You sighed as you entered the breakroom. It’s a tiring and stressful day as your manager kept pressuring you in getting that deal. He has been nagging you since last week and you were really trying your best.

You whined and headed for the coffee machine but stopped when you spotted Damien. He waved at you with a sweet smile etched on his face.

“Coffee?” He offered. His cheeks pink again.

Your frowning face immediately glowed and you find yourself next to him, “Yes please.” He pressed the button and both of you silently wait for it to be brewed.

“So, why is Damien Haas here? Don’t you have a shoot?”

“I- uh, we are on a break actually,” He pointed on his brows and that’s where you noticed that it was so defined and on fleek. “Whaaat,” You leaned in to take a closer look and Damien stepped back a little.

You smirked, “Let me see, Dames,”

He was taller than you so obviously you tiptoed and Damien released a nervous laugh. He tilted his head to the side, avoiding eye contact and you grinned. You patted his hair gently and a small beep from the coffee maker resounded.

You straightened yourself and grabbed the coffee pot. “You still look good though,” You complimented. “What video are you making?”

Damien was a blushing mess. He cleared his throat as he grabbed his mug and waited for you to finish. “Uh, Courtney is giving me a make-over, Shane inspired make-up,” You nodded and you took Damien’s hand that was holding his cup and poured coffee in it.

Damien’s mouth was shut tight as he looked at the hand above his.

It was hot and it’s making his heart beat fast.

“Oooh nice,”

“Y-yeah…”

“Well, good luck!” You winked, squeezed Damien’s hand gently before leaving, not forgetting to grab your own cup.

You stopped on your tracks and looked back. You beamed up at Damien, “I think pink lips would look good on you~”

Your heart was racing as you exited the room.

 ~

 Okay, you can’t focus. You need to see this live. That was why you found yourself sneaking in the studio where you know Courtney and Damien would be shooting their makeover.  You smiled sheepishly as one of the producers saw you. He shook his head but lets you in.

You found a corner where you can watch for a while without interrupting anyone so you stood there, papers in your hand as you watched Courtney applies some eye shadow on Damien’s face.

It was funny and cute but throughout the video, you can’t help but pout as how close they were and Damien wasn’t flinching away.

Well, of course, he shouldn’t because Courtney was putting make-up on him but still. You felt your heart pang a little as you remembered some moments where you got a little too close to Damien and he would shy away.

Okay, admitting time. You have a crush on Damien. Maybe after the lunchroom incident you became so smitten over him, then you realize you liked him when Boze asked you if you like him.

Ever since then—you do. You do like him and it has been seven months and these so-called feelings were kind of taking a toll on you.

Then Damien’s laughter broke your thoughts as he and Courtney talked more and you were kind of jealous. Not because of Courtney, oh God she’s your friend. You’re jealous because you want to have that kind of conversation with Damien also.

Maybe you got it all wrong, you thought to yourself as you observed Damien. He was shy and always blushing. Maybe because he was feeling awkward to be with you.

Not because he likes you.

You sighed and decided to leave and continue with your work.

 ~

 “Yo, did something happened?” Shayne asked as he took a seat beside you, putting his drink on the table as you continue to play with your Switch. It was a Sunday meaning no work for you and you decided to hang out in the squad’s office for a while because they said they would be going out for a drink later on.

“No, why?”

“You have been awfully quiet.”

“I am always quiet Shayne,”

“Mmhmm,” Shayne hummed and took a sip. Pregnant silence covered the both of you before you straightened your body and rested your head on Shayne’s shoulder.

“I’m just tired,”

“Of what?”

“Work, obviously.”

“Y/N. I have known you since Defy. What is up?”

You groaned as you lost the game. You sighed and pressed restart. “Nothing, really…”

Then the door opened and the rest of the squad entered and both of you remained in your positions. “Y/N, you’re here!” Olivia and Courtney greeted and you replied with a smile and wave before turning back to your game. Noah took a seat beside you to watch and you instantly switched shoulders to lean on.

Shayne stood up to throw is trash and the rest were getting ready to leave.

Damien was the last one to enter and he spotted you. He walked up to you and peeked from above to see what you were playing, “Oh, you’re playing My Hero: One’s Justice!” He exclaimed excitedly as he took Shayne’s previous spot.

“Ah, yeah… It’s quite an interesting game,” You said and focused on your playing.

“Guys come on, we need to stop by Taco Bell first,” Keith announced and Noah stood up, disturbing your gaming in the process. You proceeded to rest on the nearest shoulder but stopped when you remembered that the nearest shoulder beside you was—

Then your eyes met Damien’s.

The game already abandoned as you and Damien made eye contact.

You saw his cheeks were pink again. You looked away and exited your game.

“Uh,” You managed to let out as you stood up. “I think I need to charge this first, so…”

You wanted to hit yourself because it was so obvious you tried to avoid him. Now you felt bad for letting your stupid feelings get in the way.

You walked over to your bag with a sigh.

Damien doesn’t deserve this. It has been two days since your realization and it has been two days since you smiled at Damien. You wanted to cry because you always, always wanted to smile at Damien. And maybe tease him but nooooo, you realize you might just be hurting yourself.

“I’m going to the break room for a while,” You announced and Courtney draped an arm around you, “Everything good babe?” She asked with a worried face and you nodded, hugging her in the process.

“Yes, babe. Just thirsty,” Well that was partly true. She lets you go and you waved, exiting the room with your bag in tow.

You walked towards the break room and enter when a hand stopped you from your tracks.

It was Damien.

He followed you here? You looked around to see no one was there, of course the office would be empty on a Sunday afternoon.

“Yes?” You questioned with a raised brow and you saw him gulp.

“Y-Y/N… I- I wanted to ask you something,”

You sighed. He had noticed you were avoiding him. Now you have to apologize to this soft boy that doesn’t deserve your cruelty.

“Dames, look about earlier I-”

“Would you go out with me?”

The two of you stopped for a moment. His hands held your wrist as you both looked at each other.

“What?”

Damien was now red. Like red, as in when they drank-too-much-smoothies-that-one-time red.

“I… you see,” He was kind of struggling as you were gazing at him. “Uhm, okay. You are funny, so cheerful and very… cute.” He was looking down, still holding your wrist. “And you always tease me and stuff…”

You smiled a little but he continued. “Then I noticed you were kind of avoiding me and—”

“I’m sorry Dames, it’s not—”

“No. No. Let me finish, please. I am sweating.” You nodded with a laugh.

Damien released a nervous chuckle and he finally, finally looked at you.

“And it’s killing me. I have liked you and—I wanted to know more of you so,”

“Yes.”

“Would you go—wait, what?”

You giggled as you stepped closer to Damien, you face are inches away and you heard his breath hitched.

“I would love to go out with you Dames,” You felt your cheeks heating up as you see Damien’s eyes looking down at your lips. You smiled and pressed a finger on his soft lips.

“Take me to dinner first, babe.” Damien scoffed a laugh, cheeks still a mess as you stepped back. “I’ve always like this side of you, Dames.” You commented and grabbed for his hand. He was shocked for a moment but then relaxed. He leaned in towards your ear, “I like this side of you too,”

Now you swore you were the blushing mess this time.

11/11/11 Tag Game

Tagged by the wonderful @theravenjedi​

1. What are some things that make you love a book?

Intense action and well-developed characters. You could have the stalest plots but if you can give your characters depth, I’m there. 

2. What are some things you hate in a book?

That being said, mary-sues always get to me. Those and characters who are inconsistent with their own self and are moodier than a two-year-old.

3. Would you rather live in a fictional world, or bring one fictional character to the real world?

Fictional world. Please. Send me there. 

4. Have you ever struggled with “naysayers” who tried to discourage you from writing?

Hahha yeah. Mostly me but there are a few other people who’ve dissuaded me from writing mostly because of how long it takes. 

5. Do you remember anything anyone said about your work which made you extremely happy?

An old friend said that writing with him helped him through some tough things. I still think about that. 

6. Does criticism (even constructive criticism) discourage you? Are you sensitive to criticism?

I actually love when people tear into what I write (as long as they’re respectful about it) because it means they cared enough to really dig in. Yeah, it hurts my heart but I know it makes me a better writer in the end. 

7. Are you trying to be original at all cost, or do you accommodate, even partially, to the current trends in your genre?

Heck, I don’t even know what the current trends are. I just write whatever I need to write. If people like it, they like it. Not that I really show much of my work to anybody.

8. In your opinion, does a book have to deliver a powerful message and/or shock the reader in order to be considered truly good?

As long as the book has special meaning to a reader, any reader, it’s good. Even if it isn’t considered good by a general audience. 

9. How would you react if you stumbled upon a fanfiction based on your work and characters which contains toxic/disturbing themes such as involuntary sexual acts, incest, abusive relationship etc.?

Flattered yet terrified. Someone took the time to explore my world and characters. While writing out those themes might be therapeutic to the author, I’d really rather if they didn’t on my characters xD. My characters are my babies. 

10. Would you say yes to a movie adaptation of your book?

Depends on the book. I highly doubt my fantasy series would translate well on the screen but one of my other projects might. 

11. What would you choose? a) your book is famous, loved and admired, seen as one of the key works of the generation, but it has also a big, loud base of people who hate it to death, OR b) your book meets some success, has some fanbase, but doesn’t invoke any big emotions?

A. The hate may be obnoxious but as long as it helps the people who love and admire it, I’d take some loud complaints. Success and fame doesn’t matter much to me, it’s the effect the book has on the people who read it. 

My Questions:

1. What’s one of the hardest scenes you’ve ever written? How did you get through it?  2. Is there an author that has influenced your work? If so, who and how? 3. What are your thoughts on self-publishing?  4. Do you remember the first story you wrote? What was it about?  5. What is the hardest thing someone has told you about your writing?  6. How do you feel about pen names? Do you use one? 

7. Besides out of frustration, has your own writing ever brought tears to your eyes? 

8. Does your favorite reading genre differ from the genre you typically write in? 

9. If you had the chance to tell your younger writer self something, what would you say?  10. What does success in the writing world look like to you?  Tagging: Every single person that reads this far. Yes, you. Mostly because I don’t want to annoy people by tagging them.

[neonwizardheehee]

This is so so amazing!!! Such delight reading this <3<3 and bc my brain was rattling off while reading imma just put my 2 cents in here w/o any means of criticism oder smth <3<3

somehow I want Grian to be a Padawan and like in a little silly rivalry with jimmy maybe? he reminds me a lot of Ahsoka in terms of ways to respond to certain situations and also the "not caring but very deeply caring" attitude from her in the first seasons esp. His focus on results as opposed to light side LOVE IT so much!! that's such a good inner conflict and i can def see him there

Scar and his wonderous lucky/force ways I LOVE IT SO MUCH (also I'm getting into my head rn but what if him in last life life is him going on the dark side and he esp struggles with being left alone? esp after having so many friends and family with the jedi and then Boom none left and he goes into evil hiding mode but cannot contain his sadness that manifests in anger. it's like he can't help to meddle with the universe/story and be a part of it. only now he's just sad and thus using the dark side bc he's that broken inside. and then for double life he gets his redemption bc changing force sides is such a cool star wars trope and a very powerful one at that (thinking of Revan here)

Mumbooo ohh that is so so glorious! I also imagined him as an owner of a luxury ship (company/fleet?) and bc he seems to appear so put together and then somehow Grian and Scar find out he is/was just a mechanic XD their faces! XDD

Jimmy is just so accurate I love it a lot! mans is living by the quote of "trying to have talent, is better than having it and wasting it" and i love that for him

Scott OMG i didn't think of that but it is PERFECT - i am on the floor i love this arc and persona so much for him

Lizzie that is kinda a tough one for me but then i thought that she might come from Hapan (yes i know, they are not part of the Republic let me live) and it's awesome hahha. But i could see her also as part of a drug/smuggling ring leader? Kinda like Raffa from Clone Wars but actually in a position of power and experienced bc she can be oh so cunning and evil yet also has her soft and "good" side.

Joel. Def see him as a Corellian citizen and then pilot def checks out. also him just falling for lizzie while doing the dumbest yet bravest things and also all of that other stuff oh YES

Yo i was going to put team BEST as the Mandalorians+others crew with y'know Etho being just feared by all but i mean Mandos are Assassins so B)

never knew i Needed Bdubs as a Jedi Master but now i want nothing less and nothing else B) IT FITS SO WELL MY MIND IS BLOWN :DD

Cleo ohh that sounds so tragic and like her a lot! i can imagine her going to another force-sensitive group (like the Nightsisters on Dathomir or smth else) and also her coming back for Pearl and the others <3<3 poetic cinema right there!

love Impulse's and Pearl's story so much - esp bc Pearl's so much fits to her in Double life with Scott now <3<3 so genius!

Tango is also smth i didn't know i needed but boi do i wanna cry and hold him dearly and wish team BEST all the best (no pun intended) in the world !!!

hmm with Martyn I'm not sure I'd put him into the Jedi temple bc he's often without a home and has not that strong attachment to anyplace or anyone? I can imagine him coming from like a wealthy family/planet with his carefree attitude on main who's just here to have some fun until he meets Ren and becomes.... let's say more attached/infuriated/fascinated??(my English is leaving me i'm sorry!!) like he wants to just travel the galaxy and have fun but also doesn't say no if Ren drags him along for some "Mission with a cause that will make an impact on XX people" or for ren's own profit. does that maybe make him the son of a senator or some sort? bc he's also really good with words and his attitude in the means of that in the traffic series he often chills with the reds w/o being threatened or killed

No Knights of Ren? XPPPP sry I had to hahhaha (but also I want to think about it now even tho it's not Clone Wars time line and I basically no nothin about the sequels) but it'd put him into a position to fight against Grian and Scar on main while also being extremely devoting and full of emotions and not afraid of using them) But him wanting to protect his people like in 3rd life that reminds me a lot of rebellion leaders like Cham Syndulla and now imagine this on a galaxy wide scale (another wild thought rn but Martyn could also be like a news reporter who gets send to Ren's planet to inform about the rebellion there and then somehow gets roped up with them)

Love the BigB story with the foundling and then being raised there and joining the Mandos!

nothing to add to Skizz - we are missing him a lot rn

trafficlife star wars au

hello welcome to my mad ramblings on how each trafficlifer would work in the star wars universe. support with character analysis gratiously provided by @memryse <3333

This is based in the prequel/Clone Wars era specifically as this is where most of my knowledge surrounding the Order, Mandalore, and the Galactic Senate exists. However, no one will be assigned as a clone trooper because I have other ideas. Enjoy!

Grian: Your average Jedi Knight - more specifically a Jedi Consular. These Jedi use the force to provide strength in combat and wisdom in diplomacy, favouring words and non-violent usage of the Force. This fits Grian quite well as he isn’t as quick to violence, and very much uses diplomacy, trickery, and manipulation to achieve results. On the surface, Grian is your good peace defending Jedi and probably teaches a lot of the initiate classes, but wouldn’t take on a padawan unless assigned one. Under all that however, Grian seems to be somewhat cursed when it comes to the Force, thus faces a struggle with staying true to the light and falling prey to dark side influences every once in a while because it gets him results (similar to Ezra after taking teachings from the Sith holocron in Rebels). Whilst the Order view this as a bad thing, Grian is more in balance with the Force than some of the Masters on the Council due to both light and dark influences within him. Even so, he is paired with Scar a lot, with Scar’s uncanny good luck negating what some view as Grian’s personal curse.

Scar: Scar is 100% a Jedi Knight, specifically a Jedi Guardian. You’ve seen how much he loves this franchise and I just feel it fits him perfectly. Guardians are your classic Jedi that we’re used to seeing - defending peace with lightsabers and martial prowess. Scar is definitely overconfident and is quick to retaliate, traits that are more fitting of Guardians. Additionally, he finds himself in a lot of tight-spots on missions, but for some reason always manages to survive by the scruff of his neck. Many think his unnatural luck is a rare Force ability, but even the Masters cannot tell. You won’t find a Jedi Knight more befitting of the title than Scar. Additionally, him and Grian end up on a lot of missions together much to Grian’s annoyance (he secretly enjoys them).

Mumbo: The mechanic, the mans a redstone genius of course he’s a mechanic in this universe. A little insane perhaps, making his friends contantly question is he going to sell them out or kill them? Probably not but the threat still lingers. Despite this, he is very good friends with some of the Jedi like Grian and Scar who regularly come to him for infomation and repairs because he can get them done a whole lot quicker than the mechanics at the Order thats for sure. Mumbo has visted a whole lot of planets (whether that be with pirates or amateur star pilots and smugglers) and picks up a lot of gossip that he brings back to his shop on Coruscant.

Jimmy: Another Force wielder, Jimmy is a Padawan of the Order but his Master is no one within the trafficlifers. Even so, he finds ways to hang around the trafficlifers in the Order all the same. Steadfast and loyal, Jimmy is your picture perfect Padawan who enjoys a little bit of mischief every now and again. His connection to the Force is not particularly the strongest - he only barely passed the Initiate trials and has been a Padawan a lot longer than many who were in his original Initiate clan. However, this just means he works twice as hard under his Master, making up for what he lacks in natural ability with rigorous training and meditation. 

Scott: Scott is an esteemed and essentric senator who holds a lot of sway within the Galactic Senate - something he occasionally uses to his advantage. He surrounds himself with allies which range from Jedi of the Order to pirates and assassins, which has earned him a lot of respect and is in someways unntouchable to the forces of evil. Him and Pearl went through the academy together on their home planet, and began to train to debate in the Senate together. Somewhere along the way, however, they had a disagreement of sorts, leaving Scott to rise to his position on his own. Pearl is now an a regular torment in his life, and pretty much the only major threat he’s faced so far due to how many people he has on side.

Lizzie: Also a senator in this au, Lizzie is both Scott’s greatest ally in the Senate and also his main opposition. When they agree they are a formidable force, but when they butt heads it results in arguments that are never resolved. Lizzie somehow has even more allies that Scott - Jedi, Mandalorians, and even the morally grey. This makes her a huge target and she is underestimated by those who do not know her, thinking she can fetch ransoms. On a particularly tricky kidnapping, a few Jedi were dispatched who went to Joel to help locate and rescue her. They discovered her half escaping and she very much took control of the mission almost immediately. Joel continues to visit her in secret in order not to damage her reputation in the Senate too badly.

Joel: Space pirate Joel? Space pirate Joel. A lot of the time he does his own thing, just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe but had a fateful run-in with the Jedi one day: specifically Grian and Scar. Due to his resourcefulness and less than savoury contacts, he is approached more often than he’d liked by the Jedi duo and their friends (he loves it really). It’s not all bad, however. They led to him meeting his now-wife Lizzie, and is valued as a close ally and friend despite how irritating he can be.

Etho: Working as an assassin, Etho is as good as they come in terms of talent and skill. Some say it’s dumb luck how he’s able to get away with half the incredibly dangerous missions he carries out but for any Jedi witnessing his exploits it is very clear he has a little bit of force sensitivity. However, he himself is completely unaware and doesn’t really give it too much thought. Somewhere along the way he ended up teaming up with Tango - a bounty hunter - and also having regular run ins with Jedi Bdubs and Skizz. He’s not too sure why they stick around, but the four of them have become slightly infamous in the Outer Rim territories with eradicating serious crime. One could say they’re the BEST team for it…

Bdubs: What is Bdubs if not a Jedi Master??? Like Grian, he is more in tune to Force abilities rather than martial prowess, sending him down the path of Consular. So strong is his connection in fact, he is plagued by visions in the dark of what has passed and what is to come so he retires to his quarters in the Temple before it becomes night. Taken in at a young age, Bdubs was in the same initiate clan as Cleo and they passed their trials together. they remained fast friends as they excelled through the Order, but when the time came for Bdubs to be granted the rank of Master Cleo abandoned the Jedi entirely. They have not seen each other since, with Bdubs becoming extremely wary of running into her again but determined to help her if he does. In his spare time off missions, Bdubs takes to giving disguised training to his close friend Etho as well as bringing Tango back into the light with Skizz.

Cleo: Cleo was found and raised in the Jedi Temple from almost birth, and for most of her existence was the only life she ever knew. She grew close and furiously loyal to her clanmate Bdubs, but despite his good influence she regularly broke the rules. As she grew older and into a Jedi Knight this turned into straight up violating the Code itself and she was left with an ultimatum by the Council: leave of her own accord to put a stop to the chaos, or be publicly expelled. She chose the first option, leaving Coruscant almost immediatly and not returning for years. Now she works as hired help and most of her days involve removing Pearl from Scott’s premises.

Impulse: Back to the world of crime, Impulse works as a smuggler and a semi-successful pilot. Very much a can you trust him can you not type of guy, he runs supplies and smuggles weapons to both the Republic and the Seperatists, without the other side suspecting (most of the time). Because of this he picks up a lot of infomation from either side and sells it to make a bit of extra profit. Some Jedi find him valuable, especialy because they suspect his ties to the Seperatists, and come to him for intel occasionally. However, he is not above betraying either side for profit. Definitely a you can totally trust him but definitely cannot type of guy.

Pearl: A former senator turned bounty hunter, Pearl grew up through the training academy with Scott on her home planet. The two were an extremely formidable team, almost having some sort of telepathy between them as they excelled in tests and then the Senate itself. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to last. The two finally came to a major disagreement, with Pearl taking matters into her own hands and approaching more dangerous sources for infomation to help their case in the Senate. She did not consider the danger it could have put the two of them in, but in her eyes that would have been a risk they would’ve taken. From there Scott tarnished her repuation, labelling her as crazy and so she turned to bounty hunting. Still wanting to help those in need, Pearl works as a Robin Hood style hunter - stealing money and infomation from the rich to help the poor. She also makes the time in her day to go and torment Scott whenever she finds herself on Coruscant, for old times sake.

Tango: Previously apprenticed to a sith lord, Tango now works as a bounty hunter alongside Etho after falling back into the Light. He rarely uses his Force abilities now, shutting himself off from them as he is tormented by the guilt of his actions whilst under the influence of the Dark side, despite his old master being long gone. His new life with Etho is honest and most of his days are much happier, filled with harmless pranks and jokes. Occasionally he is viisted by the Jedi Bdubs and Skizz who he has become fast friends with. The two keep offering him lessons and advice, to train him again in the Light, but he refuses to take them up on their offer. Although, they are beginning to wear him down…

Martyn: Martyn was a Padawan raised from an extemely young age in the Order. It was recognised early on that he had a very natural and influencial gift with the Force and is prone to visions that both aid and torment him. However, early on in his Padawan training, Martyn began to realise the flaws and hypocrisies of the Order and how it conducted itself. He also lacked discipline and overall was not suited to the Jedi constraints. The final straw was his master’s fall to the Dark side of the Force, leading him to abandoning the Order all together after they did nothing to help. He ran all the way to Mandalore, and works as Ren’s right-hand man (and also giving him some darksaber training here and there).

Ren: The exalted ruler of Mandalore. Growing up in one of the very much more warrior clans on Mandalore and it’s surrounding moons, Ren challenged the previous ruler for the Darksaber and the right to rule as soon as he was old enough. Ever since, he has brought relative prosperity to his people but unafraid to call to arms if needed. Ren has become even more formidable in recent years after the addition of a former Padawan to his guard and council, wielding the Draksaber with much more expertise than anyone assumed before.

BigB: Another Mandalorian, BigB was brought into their ways after he was found abandoned in a skirmish the Mandalorians were a part of. Taken in as a foundling, he was taught the ways of the Mandalorians by allies to Ren’s clan and he eventually grew up to join Ren’s immediate guard once he assumed control of the planet. A few years into this he had a run-in with the former Jedi Cleo and formed a shakey alliance with her. She convinced him to try and steal the Darksaber from Ren (unaware that it had to be won by combat) but in the end he switched back, completely betraying Cleo.

Skizz: A Jedi Knight. The Jedi Knight if you will. A perfect example of what the Jedi Order is all about, Skizz excelled at combining his martial prowess with the ways of the Force. In his time in the Order, he remains close with Bdubs and is very loyal to the Order and its cause. However, he has also recently been led away by Bdubs to hang around bounty hunters. He took fastly to them, considering Etho, Tango, and Bdubs to be his closests friends and allies, and more than willing to lay down his life for them.

Hiiii for the meme thing: 1, 6, 10, 17, 25, 35 and 37! Your writing is very nice by the way :)

an ask meme for fic writers ♥

First off thank you so much! You’re sweet

1: what inspires you?

Hmm, idek xD Other writers - either as from published books, or fanfiction. Sometimes artwork of all kinds, daily life? The news, things I’m passionate about like some of my hobbies - music, reading, youtube xD oh and currently learning about dance.

6: hardest/easiest character to write for?

Hmm...I guess going through the three fandoms I write for, my hardest characters to write for daiya no ace would be Ryousuke or Furuya just because they’re personalities are quite different from my own so I’m not as accustomed to them. From Miraculous Ladybug, definitely Chloe cause wow writing a brat who I think has the chance to be better is hard! From Yuri on Ice, actually Viktor is the hardest because in no way shape or form do I really have much in common with him - be it personality, skills, or just general behaviour. I might be loud with some friends but I’m not really a tactile person, I don’t tend to be so flirtatious with anyone nor am I as talented as he is (he works really hard I’m sure, but the basis is pure talent xD)

The easiest characters would probably be Nori/Miyuki who together make up my soul - awkward and embarrassed easily, yet also a control freak and super sarcastic. Marinette is an uber klutz and quite a mess yet sometimes she’s confident and empowered which is interesting to write and someone I’d like to be like - i’m already a mess (just to clarify not Ladybug but only Marinette is easy for me). And finally, Yuuri is the easiest to write for because he’s so relatable. I have anxiety over things I love and it’s a lot harder for me to do well so I tend to practice a crap ton. He’s just the most relatable character ever!

10: any writing advice?

Idk if I have any real writing advice? But idk...for me...write anything you want? But also do a lot of research! Unless you’re completely creating your own world, and even then world-building involves references to things around the world or history. I know a lot of people write just emotion or no real change to the universe styled writing which is beautiful, but I enjoy learning when I write! I wrote my Royalty/Dancer AU for YoI (you should read it :P) and spent over 3 hours researching about dance styles of the era I was setting it in, plus the dance style I was going to use. As well I researched Russian Royalty, the time period and even clothes :P Ofc there’s more I researched but I’m not gonna spoil it xD Spirit AUs are easily 3-5 hrs worth of research and reading. 

You come out of those types of fics having learnt something, even if it’s just a flower meaning, it’s something small and you never know, learnign inane facts could be useful even for just an icebreaker in a conversation xD

17: do you listen to music while you write?

Hahha I always listen to music. Always. Never anything specific, but if I’m writing angst I tend to listen to songs with no lyrics but fluffier fics get songs with lyrics that I ignore as I write :P

25: if you outline, do you edit it frequently?

Do I outline? Do I outline? I always outline! Like all my fics even short drabbles have some kind of outline. And tbh I edit the outline as I write sometimes xD Often I’ll write an in depth outline but cop out at the ending? almost all my outlines never have an actual ending which I add in as I write said ending :P

35: any foreshadowing/symbolism you wrote that you hope readers didn’t miss?

I mean...technically I sort of write foreshadowing but I definitely do a lot of symbolism :P I wonder if people notice? Like I usually include links as explanation for some of the more blatant symbolism but some I never mention :P Lemme know if you’ve caught any xD

37: do you use quotes in the beginning notes/intro to your chapters? if so, what are some of your favorites/what are their significance?

Umm...not really? I tend to write a beginning paragraph where no one has any idea who the pov is :P I do use quotes for titles though! I don’t have any specific one that’s a favourite though, does anyone have any?

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph! Hope you’re doing well and resting over the holiday<3

It occurred to me that I don’t think I’ve ever read any canon-compliant (non-AU) fics where Sherlock is the one who’s slept with men before and John is the inexperienced one?

In so many fics, Sherlock is the one who has never been with a man (or anyone, actually), but I wonder if you’ve seen any fics where John is the one who’s the questioning and inexperienced one when they finally confess to each other and have ~spicy~ time.

What do you think?<3 thank you for all your hard work!! You can always pop into my inbox for a free reading, any time! As a thank you for all you do :)

Hey Lovely!

I'm trying my best, thank you so much for the well wishes! <3

Ahh, yeah, I haven't read many myself... I think just because I haven't come across them, really, hahha. I know that Alexx has a Virgin John list you will like, I think, and I have these on my MFL list tagged as Virgin or Inexperienced John, though most are AUs:

If You Go Out in the Woods Today by Sexxica (E, 5,247 w., 1 Ch. || Fawnlock, Mythical Beings/Creatures, Teen John, Virgin John, Anal Sex / Fingering, Mildly Dub. Con., Bottom John, Top Sherlock, Outdoor Sex, Blow Jobs) – You're sure of a big surprise. 18 year old John Watson certainly didn't expect to stumble into the realm of a forest god, let alone one demanding payment in order to let him and his friend Mike leave.

You Give Me Fever by michi_thekiller (E, 16,122 w., 1 Ch. || Greaser 1950′s Teenlock || Underage, Car Sex, Makeout Point, Dirty Talk, Size Kink, Coercive Sherlock, Size Difference, Greaser Sherlock, Nerdy John, Virgin John) – "He's the kind of boy you want to take apart."

Feeling Seen by jadztone (E, 30,177 w., 9 Ch. || Ballet!Sherlock / Rugby!John, Demisexuality, Virgin John, Experienced Sherlock, Toplock, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Background Molly/Irene & Greg/Sally) – Rugby player John is starting over at a new university, with the help of friends Molly and Bill. Few people know that John is demisexual, but ballet dancer Sherlock Holmes deduces right away that he has no interest in sex unless he’s fallen in love. John finds this strange genius intriguing and would like to get to know him, but Sherlock has a self-cultivated reputation for only wanting casual sex. John has reason to believe that’s not really true, but he’s not sure he wants to risk his twice-fractured heart to find out.

fever all through the night series by michi_thekiller (E, 36,250+ w. across 3 works || Series WiP || 1950s Greaser Teenager AU || First Kiss/Time, Greaser Sherlock, Nerdy John, Dirty Talk, Car Sex, Virgin John, Size Difference, Underage Teenage Sex) – "He's the kind of boy you want to take apart."

The prospect of detention has never been so exciting.

Free Falling by twistedthicket1 (M, 203,574 w., 38 Ch. || Guardian Angels AU || Guardian Angel John, Fluff and Angst, Humour, Kidlock / Teenlock, Light Mystrade, Passage of Time, Possessive John, Drug Use / Overdose, Victor Trevor, Graphic Bullying, Big Brother Mycroft, Hard Drug Use, Depression, Possessive Sherlock, Possessive John, Panic Attacks, Nightmares/PTSD, Pining, Healing Abilities, Kidnapping, Violence, Torture, Blow Jobs, Virgin John, Emotional Development / Attachment, Mortality, Happy Ending) – All Guardian angels are born with a Chosen human. When this child is born, the angel comes into being to protect and care for them during their life on Earth. For John Watson, all he cares about in the world revolves around his Chosen, Sherlock Holmes. Watching him grow up though, the angel soon learns that God must have had a sense of humour the day he decided to make Sherlock, as trouble seems to follow him like a magnet wherever he goes. John can't decide what's worse, the idea of losing his Chosen one, or the fact that he may be breaking the most taboo law of heaven as he disguises himself as a human to better protect and befriend the beloved detective he's always watched from afar. He was meant to care for him. But what happens when caring evolves into something more? What happens when an emotion an angel is supposed to be incapable of possessing comes to life suddenly and viciously inside John's chest?

If anyone has any to add, please do add more!

A Little LOKI Theory Post

*SPOILERS FOR LOKI E1-3 BELOW CUT*

I am loathe to admit that I love the new LOKI TV series, mainly because of the Mobius/Loki dynamic, the interesting sci-fi plot, and just... I so far surprisingly like every episode. This was the show I had such low expectations for, because I didn’t really like LOKI – I felt he was the Moriarty of the MCU, overused when they didn’t need him, and making me annoyed by an actor I love.

EXCEPT I’m also a sucker for character-driven, psychoanalysis stories, like all these D+ Marvel shows are, and it’s leaving me super shocked about me liking characters I didn’t before. I’m fully invested in all these characters now.

I think the only reasom I really wanted to see this show for was because it ties directly into the next Dr. Strange movie, so YEAH, I’m in love multiverse and time travel things, so it was inevitable that I would enjoy this show, I think.

AND of course, I’ve theories and speculations because there’s a lot to work with, and I LOVE stories like these, so I decided I would take some time out and stretch out my meta-writing grey cells. And I wanted somewhere to have my theories/ideas written out before they come to fruition, because DAMNIT I have headcanons and hopes and dreams.

So here we go, spoilers below cut. Please note I know nothing about the comics aside from what other theorists and reviewers have mentioned:

The TVA are “the bad guys” but I think it goes deeper than that... Like the whole Timekeeper thing is really sus. I think it’s only one Timekeeper, who is Kang the Conqueror, who maintains the Sacred Timeline to ensure that he stays in power to PREVENT the Multiverse War which I think he knows happened to stop him. I also think Renslayer is behind all of this suspicious thing; I learned that in the comics Renslayer is a love interest for Kang, so like........... SUS.

AND I think Multiverse War they talked about in the beginning of the show IS the Multiverse War they’re ABOUT TO HAVE. This is a show about non-linear time, and there’s hints about multiverses in the next Spiderman, and Dr Strange is LITERALLY called “Multiverse of Madness”. Wild Theory: Maybe Doctor Strange IS one of the Time Keepers following the Multiverse War.

Loki initially wants to learn the enchanting that Sylvie does for his own selfish gain, and I think he was lying about breaking the TempPad so he would force her to open up. HOWEVER, I think he had a sudden change of heart after learning about the TVA’s Variant Staff; we already see him sort of fond of both Mobius and remembers Casey’s name, so I feel like that he will end up using this knowledge he gained very differently.

Further on this point, they established in Ep 3 that TVA agents / staff need actual real memories to “manipulate” them. So, I think Loki will use this power he learned from Sylvie (I mean, she explained to him how to do it, and this show is really good at using the “Chekov’s guns” given to us) to bring Mobius to “his side”, and TOGETHER they take down the TVA and make it what it should be. Mobius is very dedicated to the TVA, so I really do forsee that it will be Loki “freeing” Mobius as the catalyst to swaying to siding with Loki until the end. He’s a good man with a big heart for humanity, so I think he will totally side with freeing everyone else.

On that note, I think the reason Mobius is fascinated with the nineties is because he’s a variant jetskiier pulled from the nineties. I suspect in his original timeline he probably had a jetski accident and died, but in the Variant timeline, he survived, and out of pity I think Renslayer “saved” him and recruited him. The TVA wiped his memories after he couldn’t cope with the fact that he was SUPPOSED to die.

ALSO still on Mobius, I think every time he keeps questioning too much, he gets his memory wiped, which would explain why he never remembers leaving the cup stains on Renslayer’s table.

I think there’s more to Miss Minutes than meets the eye. Another theory I had was that she was similar to VIKI in iRobot, essentially running the company to her programmed “laws” after the TimeKeepers passed on. So like there’s no TimeKeepers at all, but there was at one time, and Miss Minutes was left to her own devices.

Another theory similar to this, is the Doctor Who episode, The Long Game, where everyone wants to be promoted to “Floor 500″ because it’s rumoured to be a paradise and is the top floor no one has ever returned from; It turns out it’s run by an alien that feeds on the human or something similar, and the people who went to the top floor ended up frozen husks of who they were. Not saying it’s this exact thing, but more the idea that everyone thinks what’s upstairs is a magical wonderful benevolent corporation looking out for what’s best for everyone, but instead it’s one evil thing doing stuff for their own purpose. Eh.

Another rogue theory: Mobius IS a Loki variant, which is why he’s obsessed with Loki himself, knows Loki better than Loki knows himself, and either knows and omitted it, or DOESN’T know but naturally is intrigued by the Loki Variant and him always finding out the truth is WHY his memory keeps getting wiped, and why everyone is always squeamish about having a Loki around. Mobius mentioned that Loki is the one Variant they have stopped more Lokis than any other Variant....

On that thought: IF Lokis are the most common Variant they capture, I think a LOT of the TVA are Loki Variants, trapped in the forms they were presenting as when they were brought in, and because magic doesn’t work in the TVA, they CAN’T turn off the glamour, had their memories wiped, and in turn could now be Codenamed Casey, or Mobius, or B15........ An abstract theory, but I think it’s interesting.

And another, since I learned that it is in the comics: Mobius is a clone drone. This one saddens me and I really hope he’s not. Because I love Mobius.

I think Sylvie was a Variant who worked for the TVA, but somehow had an awakening and wants to free everyone else... the only thing against this theory is her seeming surprised that her magic stopped working when she arrived at the TVA. If she was an agent, she would know that magic doesn’t work within the TVA.

And I think this series will inevitably – if the rumours of a Season 2 are true – have the Mobius / Loki dynamic solving Time Crimes... a.... Holmes and Watson if you will. :D HAHHA.

So yeah. This list will change obviously for the next 3 weeks, and I had a lot of fun with this so I will probably keep it up.

Some things I hope happen by the end:

A giant “probably not going to happen because this is Disney”: I hope they pay-off the “bisexual” confirmation by the end of this... highkey with Mobius (damn it I ship them okay), but lowkey just even a passing remark about anyone LOL. I really ship Lokius, okay. I need this dynamic in the MCU

PLEASE DON’T KILL CASEY, we love Casey. #FREECASEY

I’ll be really honest here, I will effing GROAN and be a not-happy Steph if they do the ship that I think they’re gonna do: Sylvie x Loki. Which is weird to me that Disney would be okay with self-love, but the OBVIOUS initial dynamic of Loki x Mobius is too much, “look we gave you bisexual Loki, aren’t you happy enough??” Just. I dunno. It’s weird / a pet peeve of mine that a lot of online reviewers are bitching about “woke” Disney the one time they ACTUALLY FINALLY let a title character say they’re queer, but are all “UWU SYLVIE AND LOKI ARE GONNA GET TOGETHER BECAUSE LOKI LOVES HIMSELF UWU”. Even though Loki spent legit more screen time with Mobius, and literally did everything he told Sylvie that he wouldn’t do around people he doesn’t trust around Mobius ALREADY?? It’s like they already forgot about the first two eps. LEGIT the whole dagger=love metaphor LITERALLY happened in the previous two episodes, but alright chiefs. Anyway. Sorry, it’s stupid to be bothered by it. 

We’re gonna get that heart wrench moment that the other two shows had, and I TRULY BELIEVE it’s gonna be between Loki and Mobius when Loki tells / shows Mobius the truth. LOOK I JUST WANT MORE OF THEM OKAY. And I need my heart ripping moment in this show within the next two eps LOL. We got one in WandaVision. We got one in FATWS. GIVE ME ONE IN LOKI. MAKE ME LIKE LOKI.

Anyway, so that’s my rambling. Thanks for taking time out to read all this. I miss theorizing, and this show is perfect for me to do it. I’m not AS good at these shows as I was with Sherlock, but it’s still fun, because it’s new and my brain is full of headcanons and idea things. I’ll write again after Ep 4, I think. <3 Thank you lovelies for letting me do this!
