What happened to the camgirl Abby fics?

saurrrrr i do have plans for it and where i want the series to go but my brain is so insanely rotted with vi/arcane shit, i’m just not as motivated to write it. the new hyperfixation has stuck on like fucking glue if you couldn’t tell by my new @ LMAO. and also, the tlou fandom, specifically the abby section, has just kinda died? obviously there’s still content but to me the community is just kind of barren and it deflates me to write if i’m being honest with myself. i don’t get as much engagement and that’s what motivates me the most. just interacting with all of you and getting feedback really boosts me. idek, maybe that’s a little selfish but personally i like that part of the writing community and how much you can lift someone up. omfg ray shut up but …. this long winded answer to say yes! it will be back. it may just take a little longer. i have a few vi things i’m working on and i do have a vi x abby x reader fic, well a couple different ones actually, so keep an eye out for that! i’m hoping to get those out in the new year. m’not out of the abby fandom, i just needed a break. i’ve been writing for abby for over a year and my work just felt a little stale and i desperately needed a reset but i’ll be back soon ♡ plus vi is so fucking hot and i wanna eat her out until i have no oxygen left

Thinking about yingdu ep1 again… I remember seeing someone talk about Lu Guang effectually killing his past self as he takes over his body, and I was just thinking about it.

He took the opportunity to fall in love for the first time from himself. Never again will he see Cheng Xiaoshi and see him as himself, unburdened by his future, all the timelines, and just let himself love. What happens in the past is controlled by the future, Lu Guang deciding to go back into the past is an event that has already happened. So was there even a university Lu Guang that wasn’t his future self inhabiting his body? Was there even a Lu Guang that got to meet Cheng Xiaoshi and fall in love with him for the first time?

in case you are in the mood to feel devastated here’s an alternate way of viewing charles’ response to edwin’s confession:

we know that charles kinda puts edwin on a pedestal- yes they are partners but there is a bit of a hierarchy between them. charles just looks up to and admires edwin in so many ways while constantly looking down on and being really hard on himself. he puts on his big happy persona because he thinks that people wouldn’t like him if they actually got to know him.

so when edwin confesses, it’s like a blow to him. he took his charming persona too far and went and tricked the most important person in the world into thinking he was worthy of love. and it’s worse because he does love edwin in that way, which is exactly why he can’t let him know that. charles still believes that he is like his dad, and he saw exactly what his parents’ relationship did to his mother.

he thinks that loving edwin in the way that he wants to would only cause more pain to this boy who has already been through far more than he deserves. so he blinks back his tears, attempts the same charming smile he’s used all these years, and dishes out the gentlest non-rejection in the history of forever

Okay I always love the good angsty “devastated Crowley after the fall” ideas, but I feel like the majority of them surround him being depressed and sad- which was absolutely a part of it, but I feel like a lot of people miss the idea of Crowley being FURIOUS after the Fall. Raging against the injustice of it all; it was only a few questions! How could the very beings he considered brothers and friends do this to him? How could God do this to him? Not just to take away his creations but the very essence of what he was made for? Sure, he’d made a mistake, but nothing so much as to lose everything.

A lot of the other demons are still bitter, and mean, and evil to this day after the Fall; so why would Crowley initially be any different? Even now, despite being always inherently nice (even if he won’t admit it,) another one of Crowley’s core personality traits is that he has a rather short fuse and large explosions of anger and frustration. While he finds ways to vent and manage it throughout the years (ex. The plants,) his immediate reaction being anger is definitely something that is just instinctually there.

But just; freshly-fallen Crowley having to rediscover balance and humanity while everything around him tried to argue that he should let these feelings rule everything and that there was no hope, redemption, or goodness left for him. For the first time since Falling, stepping foot onto Earth in Eden and feeling fresh wind for the first time, seeing the sun (a star, even if it wasn’t on elf his favorites,) being shown kindness by an angel, the very kind of being he’d been encouraged to hate; finally having to stop his spiral of rage and look around for a moment and maybe even begin to accept things.

radical conceptussy: dan continues the tradition of tour film dumps. they post ig stories all the time, but film dumps are few and rare, one for every month or so or general area of the tour. think about the wad tour dumps: pictures are a mix of silly fun travels, solo moments before and after shows, and soft pretty moments, captured lovingly by crew and friends. except this time, they’re touring together. this is dan and phil “all grown up”. how open is the door going to be? think about all the devastating moments we’ve experienced in the last few months, but add the fact that phil essentially said they dgaf and he wants to live life to the fullest and not take anything for granted. this tour is going to be sooooo different and life changing for us as phannies y’all I can feel it in my bones. anyways back to the photos I had the clearest vision of the softest most adorable picture of them cuddled up together sleeping on the tour bus chucked into the middle one of those dumps casually because it’s not the craziest thing and I could definitely see them saying fuck it and deciding to share something like that. much to think about

It’s fine I’m not crying that the ending for the Halsin romance is still broken it’s FINE.

Before latch 7, I did a solo romance run with a redeemed Durge. Never romanced anyone else, never flirted, absolutely nothing. Only went for Halsin and by the end of the game I had the scene with him in bed and agreed to go with him right then and there.

The reunion party happens and they walk in together but I get the dialogue that my Durge stayed behind to rebuild and then eventually joined Halsin.

Love that for me.

This most recent time post patch 7 I did romance Astarion and Halsin, but broke up with Astarion after he ascended and only had Halsin. And I know that if you’re romancing both and don’t break it off with Astarion the auto default is bed scene with Astarion and you leave with him and not Halsin.

At the end of the game, I had the bed scene with Halsin and once again left right then and there to be with him.

The reunion party happens and Tav walks in alone after adventuring solo for 6 months and hasn’t seen Halsin.

Love that for me.

Decided to reload the solo Halsin Durge romance and it’s still broken to where she stayed behind but now it’s even more broken because Durge and Halsin are standing back to back and looking over their shoulders to speak to each other.

LIKE JUST LET ME LEAVE WITH HIM, PLEASE.

too sad to watch the race today. catch me sulking under my pile of blankets about what should’ve been. may die for a few hours to avoid too much about the race, but will answer dms and my nonnies soon<3

Idk if I missed something or am dumb, but how did Cody get temporarily blinded?

Also LOVE the story I'm so happy to see you posting abt it sjkskskskd

Aahhshshjdjsjsfhdh thank you so much (dies)

Basically the reason he can’t see is ‘cause both of his eyes are swollen shut lol (I once had a bad black eye that I couldn’t open for like two days, Cody just has that but with both eyes rip)

How that happened I will leave to your imaginations, but I can confirm it was Eliana who did it

(A lot of yapping in the tags be warned lol)

[moominpopzz]

how long do y’all think Ashe had to sleep in Mark’s bed with him after what happened to her mom. How often do you think Mark would try to put Ashe to bed and she’d run to him minutes after he leaves her room and begged him not to leave her. How often do you think Mark would hold her while she slept, staying awake for nights on end so that when she woke up screaming and sobbing from nightmares he could be awake to comfort her.

Do you think she moved back to her own room on her own or that she got to an age where Mark slowly started making her go back to her room instead. Do you think he’d sit in there and wait until she fell asleep or with his work one day he just stopped letting her crawl into bed with him. Do you think there were nights where when she could only fall asleep in his bed he’d carry her back to her room and she’d wake up, alone, in the room that damn book was in, do you think she’d just scream until Mark ran in to check on her?

IN SEMI-DEFENSE OF JACKSON <3

Jackson hate is a little forced imo cause he’s really just a teenage boy battling depression and grief and is constantly stressed and anxious about things being out of his control for really no reason. Like you have to remember Jackson has known these people for only a couple of months at this point and they bullied him and Exer made his life shit for a good bit of it 😭 now I love Exer that’s my princess and Jackson has made mistakes but it’s what makes him an interesting and dynamic character, people complain all the time that Jackson is boring and one note but he’s really not if you pay attention to his flaws as character traits and not just “oh Jackson here we go again 🙄”

+

For just season 3 stuff so far he’s kept 1. leaving therapy a secret from Pam 2. Not telling anyone about the diary and Used the diary to manipulate Exer (both consciously and unconsciously) and 3. Spent time with the reds as a form of getting information and its kinda manipulation tbh so I just wanted to give my 2 cents on it in defense and criticism of Jackson cause he’s paralleling Exer in a lot of ways and it’s unfair that he gets shit on so much when Exer is loved and praised by the fandom (again Exer is my favourite character).

+

1. Leaving therapy a secret from Pam is not a good thing Jackson is doing, he shouldn’t have kept it from her and he shouldn’t have lied that it wasn’t that big of a deal because a big theme in this comic is that keeping secrets and lying really hurts people and relationships and you need to be open and honest with those you love. That being said it’s a really hard subject that he’s still getting over himself, therapy was a safe space for him where he was finally in control and was heard not just listened to. He’s still getting over this and he could barely even talk to Harry for weeks without feeling horrible so yea it’s a really troubling thing for him to think about. He told the detention kids because sometimes it’s easier to be open with friends who get the situation than your girlfriend who you don’t want to disappoint because she was so happy you were getting better and how do you tell her your world fell apart all over again and you’re scared. I’m not saying this excuses his actions I just think there needs to be a bit more understanding here, Jackson should have told her sooner and tell her that he’s not happy about it but he’s also not ready to talk about it just yet, it’ll be good for him to open up to Pam more instead of trying to keep up an illusion that he’s doing great but it’s a hard thing to shake.

+

2. Telling anyone about the Diary, especially Exer is not fucking easy at all. Some of you are making it sound like if he just told them everything would go smoothly and well and that he’s the bad guy for keeping it hidden. So go on and tell me how exactly you’d tell the person who bullied you over petty reasons that you might have accidentally manipulated and fabricated their feelings and that you’re the reason he apologized, you’re the reason he got a job and started over, you’re the reason he confessed as is dating his boyfriend and that none of it is real and that you did it all by accident. Because that’s exactly what Jackson thinks he did, while I don’t agree with Jackson’s theory he’s convinced of it himself. For all Jackson knows Exer really is that prick back in season 1 and the only reason he changed is cause he wrote it down. That’s a lot of weight on your shoulders especially the whole romance thing I mean Jackson wholeheartedly thinks he accidentally manipulated Exer into falling in love with someone and that’s a very heavy burden to carry cause wtf do you do with that as a 17 y/o depressed child. Not to mention that the Diary is his therapy journal so that’s his one healthy outlet destroyed and he feels guilty about ever coping using it so that only fuels his self hatred and mental health issues. All of this without mentioning he’s still grieving over his mother who gave him the damn thing and now he can’t even have that once connection he has with her because of course it’s tied to Exer the person who’s made his life so difficult up till now. NOW!! Pause, this does not excuse his actions but it does explain them, Jackson is not in the right here because at the end of the day he does need to talk to Ex about it because, accident or not, he’s manipulating him and he needs to know. It’s actually incredibly interesting how much this parallels to season 1 Exer, Exer who started purposely using his magic to cause harm and then slowly losing control and doing it by accident (all while not telling Jackson he has magic which made it hurt so much more) versus Jackson’s harm being on accident at first but now he’s experimenting and knowingly causing changes to Exer. This is a big flaw of Jackson’s, he wants to understand before he takes action but only in ways that benefit him. He wanted to understand Exer’s magic before he told Pam and now he wants to understand his own before he tells anyone and we all saw how that turned out with Pam and the others in season 1/2 so Jack’s definitely going to learn his lesson. Remember that if Exer got that mad cause he was jealous over petty things how do you think Jackson, who thinks he’s one of the only reason Exer became nice, thinks Exer is gonna react to something as big as this!!

+

3. This is a bad thing aaallll around and Jackson needs to stop 😭!!! Jackson hanging out with the reds just because he wants to study Exer is not a good thing but it’s an interesting character flaw!! This goes back to what I was saying earlier, he wants to know and understand and will fixate on it so bad he neglects the consequences. Not only is he harming the reds by manipulating them into thinking he cares and is friends with them he’s also really hurting himself. As much as I would love for them all to be friends again, Jackson just isn’t in that headspace right now where he can. He’s so obsessed with the magic and how it’s affected him that he can’t get over the bullying, he can’t get over how Exer used his magic to hurt him, he can’t get over him hurting Pam, he can’t accept the many apologies, he hasn’t even accepted that Exer wasn’t in control all the time. He just can’t move on. He needs to move on and not because what happened wasn’t hurtful and is all in the past now (it’s been like 2 months since Halloween mind you) but because he needs to let go and prioritize himself instead of holding onto all this anger. He’s not just an asshole who can’t get over being bullied (which like even if he was that’s valid to a degree), he’s so obsessed with regaining control of his life and understanding what the fuck is going on that he’s actively choosing to hurt himself to hang out with people he doesn’t like. He doesn’t have to be their friends and he doesn’t have to forgive them, yes they’ve gotten better and yes they’re sorry but tbh if my bullies apologized and everything I would not forgive them and I’d certainly not be friends with them. They just need to go their separate ways until Jackson knows what he wants. But it’s hard. Being 17 and struggling with mental health (IN THE 80s!!) is very very hard and that’s before you even begin with the magic shit so cut him some slack.

Anyways this was so long and rambley I’m sorry, I just don’t love the Jackson hate I see when he and Exer are so similar but he doesn’t get the grace of being adored and pawed at. Do I love Jackson? Not as much as I do Exer but I get him, I get being a teen trying to save myself while everything around me keeps trying to push me down so I respond in anger and I’m so over everyone being so mean to him. I could go on for ages and make more points but that’s it for now so!!!! Anyways support Paola on patreon 🩷🩷🩷

I’m going to be honest I didn’t initially think of Thorin as autistic and that was 100% entirely bc everything he did I just went ‘mhm makes sense anyone could do that’ bc I’m also autistic. in hindsight. yeah he’s really autistic why was he just standing there like this 🧍‍♂️in most neutral social settings
