ʚ・ SNIPPET #03 ⟢ ELBERT GREETIA

── ⟢ ・⸝⸝ snippets

for anon.

You had been so sure that you had hidden your sketch book so perfectly that this very scenario you were currently living out had never crossed your mind. The one where you walked into your shared room with Elbert only to find him delicately flicking through the pages, a look of awe and obsession on his face as he took in each and every drawing.

You knew by now he was onto the pages that you'd sketched in when you first met him, when you found yourself so entranced with him that you did nothing but sketch him when you had time. Pages full of different angles of him, of the different minutiae in his expressions that he so seldom showed --

And that the pages after that would be full of grander pieces of him; more serious sketches of when you'd begun to found him more than beautiful, but so vital for your life and happiness.

"You never told me... you draw," he said slowly, his bright blue eyes rising up to meet your gaze. His delicate fingers traced over the lines on the page and you glanced down to see he'd stopped on a page of a sketch of him sitting amongst flowers with petals falling on him. It had been a beautiful day when it happened, and your biggest regret that no matter what you could never seem to capture him how you saw him in your mind.

"I-I'm sorry," you whispered out, reaching out to take the sketchbook but Elberts grip remained firm on it and you let go out of fear of ripping said book. The obsessive look on his gaze remained and you had a feeling you already knew where this was going. "Do you want it?"

"I don't... know," he said slowly, looking down. There was a pained look on his face, one which moved you to sit at his side instantly, pressing yourself against him so he could feel you were with him. "I want to keep it locked up to myself."

That you had figured already.,

"But..." he paused, biting his lip and looking like a scolded, scared child. "It... is a shame if your hard work and skill is... not appreciated by more people...."

"Oh... Elbert-"

"I feel like a terrible person...." he slowly admitted. "But... I want... to keep it to myself more."

You shook your head, leaning up to place a soft kiss on his cheek. "I never wanted to show anyone else." Perhaps now you could get him to pose for you properly, no more doing it from memory or hiding in spots to sketch him unawares.

"If only I could draw as well... I could get a portrait of you," he whispered, bringing his hand up to touch your cheek. You nuzzled against him and the corners of his lips turned up into a smile. "I... don't want any other man staring at you for so long to paint you."

"That's okay, Elbert... I'm not sure I am suited to portraits."

"Yes... perhaps you're right," he murmured, his words slowly stringing together as he tried to voice his feelings fully for you. "No one would be able to capture how beautiful you are properly... I would be dissatisfied with every single artwork."

You feel your cheeks burning at his praise, and though you wanted to tell him that, surely, he was exaggerating, the way he gazed at you stole you in your tracks. Truly he always looked at you as though you were a great treasure. Not like he had before, not like you were to be owned, but as if he truly valued you more than anything else in the world. And, you had to admit, the more you spent at his side and fell in love with him, the more you were certain you understood the sentiment.

Bucky wasn't expecting you to come to him with that proposition, not in a million years. He wasn't expecting the sweet, innocent, and very much a superhero-self to be interested in him and his work.

But the problem is his work isn't the most respectable thing in the world and Bucky still didn't know you exactly found out that he did sex work in the first place and how long you've been watching you before. However, when you came up to him at a party and said "Maybe you'd want to practice with me? I'd be down.." At first he didn't know what you meant, but as soon as it clicked in his mind - he realised that the what he thought was innocent girl that he had a harmless crush on and flirted with almost every time he saw her for a year was now asking to fuck him. On camera might he just add. And how could he say no to you?

When Bucky texted you the next day about it, you weren't really betting on the fact that he thought it was serious and just thought it was a joke. "wanna practice at mine?" and then it all aligned, you were just trying to flirt, but now - right now, Bucky was now asking you to come over to help him 'practice'.

"My face won't be in it, will it?" You said shrugging off your coat at Bucky's apartment door. "What you afraid of people finding out that the superhero that has saved the world multiple times fucks like an animal?" Your jaw dropped at that. "How?--" "Whenever I'm over at Avengers tower the walls aren't exactly soundproof." "You can't just say that." "I just did, and I would like a demonstration to be honest."

And now, you were underneath Bucky - still in your clothes as he set up and fumbled with the camera beside the bed. "Is it recording?" He'd let out a hum, continuing to fumble with it. "..Should-- be." You were just tired, and horny - to put it lightly. You thought it was kind of endearing how he fiddled with the camera trying to make sure everything was perfect.

You grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him into a searing kiss - he reciprocated almost immediately after faltering for a moment, he'd pull back. "Listen, doll-- I dont want to watch this back and realise that the camera was the wrong way just give me a minute." "Bucky." You'd pout, he'd sigh. It's kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity that this happens to he's just gotta take what he can get."It'll have to do then.." When your pout was replaced with a pout, he couldn't help himself - locking you in a kiss.

His mind almost short-circuited as you grabbed his hand, moving it to your waist - his hand instinctively tightened. He's had other girls before, sure, but none of them were you. As the kisses turned heated and more open mouthed, Bucky's hand moved underneath your shirt, his hand splayed out on your abdomen - pushing it up slowly.

He pulled back for a moment, taking note of how you chased him - wanting more. Bucky chuckled a bit at that, "Give me a minute, doll." He'd pull your shirt off with your assistance, chucking it aside. He let out a low appreciative whistle, looking you up and down. "Jesus, you're beautiful.." "Bucky--" You just realised you said his name on the recording, "Wait, shit." "It's fine, doll. I can cut it out, say my name as much as you want." The suggestiveness of the comment made your face blush, not even noticing the fact that Bucky unclipping your bra tossing it aside aswell. "Pretty lil' thing.."

His shirt curled in your hands, "Off- please.." You wanted to see all of him. He let out a hum, pushing it off the bed - joining the rest of the clothes.

His hands slid down your chest, moving underneath your jeans to feel your slick panties, he let out a chuckle. "Already this wet, doll?"

"Shut the fuck up.." You'd pull him into a kiss, taking note of the surprised noise that you extracted from his lips. His hand moving your panties aside to glide through your slick folds, a small groan being soaked up by your lips on his.

You pushed his hand away, confused he broke the kiss - looking down at you. "Did I do something wrong?" "No-- you idiot, I'm just getting these god-forsaken jeans off of me." "Oh, right." He said with an embarassed chuckle.

As he saw you fumbling a bit with your jeans, he helped you with unbuttoning them. "Lift up your hips." You looked at him with a raised brow, "Lift." He repeated, you obeyed - with a swift motion he pulled your jeans off your body, leaving you in just your panties that were properly soaked.

"So fucking pretty." He muttered to himself, resting back on his heels as he looked over you. "Are you just going to stare?" "Fuck no." And in a moment, his lips were on yours again - sharing the same passion as the ones before.

His hand dragged down from your chest, over your abdomen, to the edge of your panties. Taking a moment to break from the kiss to bring his hand to his lips - wetting his ring and middle finger, maintaining eye contact with you - which made your jaw drop.

His hand snaked back down to your wet panties, pulling them aside with ease and gathering your arousal with his fingers as he slowly worked his fingers inside you - a moan coming from your mouth. As you placed a hand to his shoulder, the stretch of his fingers foreign.

"Shh-- baby, it'll feel so good, just give it a minute." He started slowly pumping his fingers, trying to find that spot inside of you. As the sting slowly subsided, pleasure replaced it.

Your head dropped back against the pillows, his lips moved to your neck. His thumb moving to graze your clit in agonising circles.

"Feel good, doll?" "Mm--"

He then slipped his fingers out of you, directing your shaky hands to his belt - he noticed how you faltered. "Hey-- we can stop anytime. Just say the word, and I'll stop recording. Yeah?" "I'm okay-- just not used to putting up a show." "You're okay, baby. You're doing so well" He'd place a soft kiss to your lips.

Your hands slowly worked his belt out from his pant hoops, you noticed the expensive branding flashes on the metal of the belt. "You buy this with porn money?" A chuckle left him, "Don't call it porn money.." You just stared at him, a small smile on your face as you waited for an answer. "Yeah-- I did, and soon.." He'd place a kiss to your nose, "You'll be able to buy whatever the fuck you want."

"Yeah?.." You dragged a hand down his chest, hands moving to slowly unbutton his jeans. A smirk graced his face, "Yeah." His hand played with the strap of your shirt, his attention solely focused on you.

After clothes were stripped, you just sat there on the bed looking up at him - not really knowing where to go from there. He moved foward, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear as he slowly placed a kiss to your lips. You placed a hand into his hair, the kiss slowly becoming more heated.

Your head settled back into the pillows and sheets, Bucky following every move. Your hand moved from his hair, down his chest - dragging a finger over his hipbone. "I didn't expect you to be a tease." "You wanted a demonstration, I'm giving you the full, real experience." "Mhm." You then took his cock into your hand, pumping it slowly exhibiting a groan from him. He was bigger than other guys you've had before, but then you reminded himself that he was literally a pornstar.

He then switched up the position between you, pulling you up into his lap - chest to chest, snuggly pressed up against eachother. He'd position himself at your entrance, his tip grazing you - making your hips unintentionally buck foward. "Eager." He said with a chuckle, hands being placed onto your thighs - slowly pushing you down onto his cock.

A small moan left your lips, your head resting on his shoulder as you adjusted. "There you go, sweet girl." He'd place a kiss to your cheek, the praise making you wetter, if that was possible. "Tell me when to move." You took a moment to gather the words, tapping his shoulder. "Move-- move, you can go." He slowly started to move his hips in tandem with yours, he decided to test the waters a bit - fully removing himself from you earning a whimper from you before bottoming out in you, causing your fingernails to dig in his back.

"You-- god... you have no fucking idea how long I've wanted this." He muttered, not really expecting you to recognise what he said by the way you were latched onto him like life support.

"Look at me." "Hm?" Your mind felt hazy with every thrust he performed, "Look at me, baby." You slowly pulled your head up to look at him in the eyes, he felt the way you clenched around him as you saw him - hair a mess, cheeks flushed, lips red and kissed. And that flipped something in your brain, pulling him into a searing kiss as your hips moved on its on - riding him feverishly.

Every small touch, every small movement put your mind into overdrive, focusing purely on the way he grabbed onto you like you'd disappear otherwise, muttered praises into your ear, the way his hands dragged over your body like he was committing every curve and feeling into his mind.

This was more than performing for some video, it was so much more.

You felt the familiar coil start up in your stomach, god if you could see yourself. You were probably a mess, hair disheveled, makeup ruined from the tears of pleasure brimming your eyes, but that didn't stop you - infact it fuelled you.

Bouncing on his lap like you needed it to live, feeling the way he fitted you perfectly but treated you like you would break if he went to harshly - you wanted him to ruin you.

His hand dragged down from a supporting hand around your waist to rub fast circles around your clit, placing his fingers into his mouth to wet them before continuing his ministrations. His eyes were focused on you, solely you - not the camera, not performing. Watching your reactions, hearing your moans that were caused from him.

You saw white as you came around him, laying your head on his shoulder - spent, letting him use you in any goddamn way he pleases to cum. "So good baby.." He muttered, continuing speaking praises to you as his hips snapped up into you.

He pulled out, his head resting back on the headboard of the bed, eyes closed as he came onto your stomach.

You both just sat there for a moment, enjoying the silence that was your panted breaths. "What a performance." You joked, "You deserve an award for that one." "Mm.."

As you caught your breath, you looked up at him. "I want to continue doing this with you." "..What? As in the filming thing?" "No-- no, no cameras. Only us." "Are you asking me out on a date?" "Poorly." "No cameras, I like that." He'd run a hand through your sweat-soaked hair, "No performing." "You implying that you were faking it that entire time?" He chuckled a bit, "No-- hell no." "Lucky me.." You both sat in silence for a moment, breaths still heaving - cutting through the silence. "Go have a shower, I'll clean up and join you afterwards, okay?" "Okay.." You said with a smile, placing a chaste kiss to his lips as you moved off his lap, thighs aching from the pressure put on them - but it was worth it.

Afterwards, Bucky helped you into the shower - going to check the recording that he expected to be hours long. As he grabbed it, he realised that he didn't even start recording. He'd chuckle a bit as he chucked the camera on the bed, moving into the bathroom to join you in the shower. He wasn't against filming another video with you, and he doubted you'd be against that.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════ SAY IT WITH ME NOWW!! consent is hot, thank you anon, wherever you are, for requesting that. sorry for like not posting recently either??? but i hope this compensates! i like.. put everything into this and idk why, i just fully locked in HAHAHA.

[iamnmbr3]

harry: wow I love ron. He's my best friend (and hermione) and we love each other and are best friends forever. I'd die for him. Anyone who so much as looks at him funny will Perish

Draco: I poisoned Ron. It was me. He wasn't the intended victim but i did it

Harry: so what you're saying is you're having a tough time right now and would appreciate some space

hahahaha anon this ask made me laugh so hard. It's SO TRUE though.

After the incident Harry doesn't jump to blame Draco nearly as much as he does after the Katie incident, and becomes no more hostile to him. But ok. Maybe he thought there was a decent chance Voldemort tried to kill Slughorn because of the memory. But even once he knows for sure who was responsible he doesn't change. Harry barely even reacts to Draco straight up admitting it in front of him. And afterwards he never thinks about or mentions it. I mean, in the immediate aftermath of the Astronomy Tower incident we see him WORRYING about Draco.

Also, did he ever even tell Ron that Draco admitted to poisoning him? Like. I've talked before about how seemingly he omitted a lot of details of what he witnessed in order to tell the story in a way that shielded Draco. Now I'm imagining years later after drarry has happened one day Ron's all 'hey remember that time I got poisoned and almost died? Weird that Voldemort would've tried that method to kill Slughorn." Draco's like "...huh?" And Ron's like "oh yeah. He tried to kill Slughorn to stop Harry seeing a memory about Horcruxes during our sixth year but he did it with poisoned mead and so I got poisoned instead by mistake." And Draco's like "What are you talking about? You know that was me." Ron: What? Hermione: What? Harry: *starts making as much noises as possible while doing the ditches in a vain attempt to avoid the ensuing awkward conversation*

Here's what i'm ranting and raving about, for the viewers at home

i'll add my previous comments

telling lesbians not to flirt with you? PEAK cishet behavior, just main character syndrome all the way through like what makes you think they'd want to? feeds into the predator stereotype they have, of just being weirdos who bother straight girls, NOT A GOOD LOOK.

and what's with the aggressive defense of " they're JUST FRIENDS guys haha " on vio/shadow? that's not a good look either??? it's LITERALLY the biggest ship in the damn fandom, not a good look.

and i hope that anon doesn't show their face either, agreeing and feeding into someone's homophobia is definitely not the best.

and ohh yea, i bet that anon was real and sent by someone else, sure kid.

oh and before i forget, " disturbing " " disgusting ".

Say less. I know what you are and you should NOT be taking pride in it.

and with that other blogger's question though??? oh i'm SURE lgbt people are pushing you guys around forcing you to accept them, newsflash assholes, YOU'RE BAD PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T, get the FUCK over yourselves, f/m IS THE NORM, it's the " blue print ", honestly??? it sounds like you're just in a sphere that accepts lgbt and since you two are homophobic, you don't like it.

the world as a whole pushes f/m to be the blue print, the ONLY form of relationship/attraction, they want people to think lgbt DOESN'T EXIST, honestly get your huge heads out of your asses and stop being so god damn DENSE.

just disrepsectful, god damn. like ohh i'm sooo sorry lgbt ships are so annoying for you, it's almost like, wait hold up... LGBT EXISTS, AND WILL EXIST EVEN AFTER YOU KICK THE BUCKET!

like are you even looking at the words you type. you're homophobic, no amount of " oh but love and kindness love and kindess even though your existence grosses me out and annoys me heehee! <3 " will cover it up.

shape up. or you honestly don't belong in fandom.

[wolfertinger]

multiple different anons: hey isn't it kind of odd that wis defends not only a rapist (mari) but a groomers (majora) constantly? why is she defending groomers?

admin: im not sure. but i agree it is suspicious.

wis: THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLING ME A PEDOPHILE RAPIST GROOMER! THEY ARE SAYING IM A PEDOPHILE RAPIST ZOOPHILE GROOMER AND PEDOJACKETING!! TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THEY CALLED ME AND ONLY ME A ZOOPEDO RAPIST ON THAT BLOG. THE BLOG IS @wolfertinger BY THE WAY. THEY ARE LITERAL PIECES OF SUB HUMAN SHIT FOR SAYING THAT I WANT TO FUCK KIDS.

admin: no one said that wis.

anons: what the hell??

bonus version that made me think to write this ask-

anons: hey, i noticed that salem is mutuals with fr4nkie on bluesky. fr4nkie is a open zoophile and into a lot of creepy things, isn't that kind of suspicious that salem is mutuals with someone like that?

admin: you're right, that is concerning.

wis: OH MY GOD THEY ALL KEEP CALLING ME SPECIFICALLY A ZOOPHILE. THEY KEEP INSISTING THAT I PERSONALLY WANT TO FUCK ANIMALS WHY WON'T THEY STOP. THEY ARE PURE EVIL LYING ABOUT ME LIKE THAT. THEY CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT HOW I'M A ZOOPHILE YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE SCREENSHOTS OF IT. IT TOTALLY HAPPENED TRUST ME!!

anons+admin: .......

for the record fr4nkie is marked as a open zoo on laelaps and looking up the evidence that blocklist keeps shows that the evidence is a post of fr4nkie saying they are a proud zoo while also supporting MAPs aka pedophiles https://github.com/heikadog/zml/blob/main/zml.md and then the link to the evidence for fr4nkie directly archive.today/HV21l

to be serious i find it highly concerning that wis sees people on here talking about open zoophiles that are clearly not her and tries to twist it into a statement about her. i didn't think she was a zoo or any of the other things before, but now i cant help but doubt her on her claims of not being a zoophile. i dont think she is a pedo or a rapist but the fact that she keeps bringing up not being a zoophile when she hasnt been involved in any discussion of zoophiles prior to her trying to shove herself into it on this blog gives me a bad feeling. no one called you a zoophile wis. they pointed out that your boyfriend and not you interacts with a proud and open zoophile who will flat out tell you if asked that they are a zoophile to the point they made a post on bluesky saying as much. you werent mentioned in any of it.

if seeing people mentioning fr4nkie by name and talking about how they are a self-admitted zoophile makes you feel the need to cry about how youre getting slandered and accused of zoophilia that makes me think its because you have shit in common with them. at least with the groomer/rapist shit its because people are pointing out that you go to bat for two known groomers and a rapist. no one has seen you doing that for a zoophile let alone tried to point that out to the best of my recollection. you came up with that all from scratch wis-and coming up with something like that on your own doesnt make you look innocent.

i know, every time it is brought up here. people rush to say, feral is "just fiction", and "it is cartoon animals". speaking from what i have witnessed. it will not always just stay, to fictional animals. such as glitchedpuppet, or wild--life.

i cannot express enough, how horrifying it is to see even SIMULATED zoophilia, as someone who has seen the real after effects, of an abused animal. it ruins them. not just mentally. physically. spiritually. it changes them. you will want to beat every animal abuser to death with your bare hands, when you have to watch a dog euthanized, because it has been so sexually traumatized, and will never live a normal life, without physical agony.

helloo! could you please make a list of wip pages that are suitable for worldbuilding fics with alot of visuals?? (BTW YOUR PAGES ARE GOREGEOUS🥺💓)

hi! so right off the bat, you can add additional images to most wip pages! for example, on most of mine, in any section where you're adding text, you can add images in the html. just use <img src=""/> and put your image url between the quotation marks. and paste that where you want your image to go. you may need to adjust the size of the image you're using, but that's one way to do it!

and here are some thememakers with page codes that sound like what you're looking for!

@pirateskinned - tons of rp pages that could easily be used for fics and worldbuilding

@glenthemes - has a bunch of about pages and character pages that could be used for worldbuilding

@seyche - "tansy" page specifically is a good one for projects and fics

that's all i've got off the top of my head at the moment, but anyone else pls feel free to add on!

[momentomori24]

i have a lot of thoughts about wolfgang’s dad, it’s kinda funny. i also headcanon that he was wolfgang’s sole caregiver, for one reason or another, and i also like to think that he made wolfgang dependant on him. which is why he never learned how to cook or do his own laundry. his dad always insisted on it so he could continue to control him and prevent him from becoming independent.

ANON OUR MINDS ARE LINKED

I can ABSOLUTELY see that being the case! The fact that Wolfgang lacks a lot of basic skills he would need to be able to take care of himself and be independent reeks of severe parental neglect, despite it being played off as a joke. Wolfgang casually dismisses it as being due to going through college as a kid and being too stuck studying to do anything else-- which is already really damaging when you think about it-- but when you have the context that he was likely raised by a very shady, likely very abusive and manipulative man, it becomes so much more sketchtastic and deliberate.

Wolfgang doesn't just lack the knowledge on how to do his own laundry or cook, but we learn through Ulysses that Wolfgang had a surprising lack of upkeep during their bunk buddy situationship. This to me implies that Wolfgang just... never actually lived with anyone else outside of his family before? The fact that he was taken out of school to higher education and then law school at such a young age, drowned in so much schoolwork and being so locked in on studying that he had absolutely NO time for hobbies, extra activities, learning basic skills and literally having a social life, leaving him entirely and solely dependent on his sketchy father is... whack. That's WHACK 💀 It's like being in complete control of Wolfgang's success life?? Like, allowing him to achieve in education, yet still making sure that he can't flourish outside of that? Or mayhaps just a long term scheme to make Wolfgang feel indebted to him for providing everything he needed to survive despite never allowing him to do it himself in the first place? Despite putting Wolfgang in a situation where he literally couldn't keep up with everything and was dependent on him to take care of it? Like you said, I feel like his dad-- if Wolfgang did grow up with him like the blackmail implies-- insisted on covering everything Wolfgang would need to learn to be independent to keep him tied to him. Because if he doesn't do it, then Wolfgang might do it himself. If he can do it himself, then he might leave. And considering how much Wolfgang seemingly despises his father and seems aware of his role in his mum's heavily implied death, I can imagine he would dip as soon as humanly possible if he could XD

This has been on my mind for a while but I wonder about the current living status of Wolfgang's dad. Wolfgang's only 22 (goddamn he should've been at the club *SOB*), so it's not outrageous at all to assume he might still be living with his parents. That would explain why Wolfgang still struggles with chores and basic necessities. But we don't know if Wolfgang's dad is even alive at this point, and I have a nagging feeling that he's not around anymore. I'm on the fence about him being dead (and why he might be dead if he is), but since Wolfgang just avoids every drop of detail about dad altogether it's still very up in the air.

[vonbabbitt]

[Blackout] The motive seems scary because it came *suddenly*—but this is how blind people live their lives every single day for the rest of their lives, never seeing light, never getting “cured” …and they are fine exactly as they are

.......ok

[sunkissedliterarylightofchrist]

how can I limit my screen time? I turned off all my notifications, so every time I turn on the wifi I don't get bombarded by notifications and removed my social media apps from my home screen but still find myself on YouTube watching random videos for hours or scrolling on pinterest for hours.

Hello lovely person I hope you are having a wonderful day! I often don't think to talk about these kinds of things normally, but I am super into them so thanks for giving me an opportunity to do so!

Looks like you've got a great start with turning off notifications, so good job! But ah yes, Youtube and Pinterest (and Tumblr too), the very hard-to-resist calls to waste your time when you should be doing something else. Very tricksy, out to get you. Here's what I have done and continue to do to limit screen time!

First, I've set screen time limits for every single thing that is an extra and not a required on my phone. You'll find this in Settings. For every app or place that I could open to procrastinate stuff I actually need to do and generally waste my time, they've got limits on them. And then when I've had my thirty minutes or whatever of Pinterest for the day, I listen to the time limit, and Pinterest is blocked for the rest of the day, and I don't open it.

That's the physical practical big one.

But the thing about turning to distractions like this is there always is a way around. Because people aren't really phone addicted, they're computer addicted- a phone is just a mini computer that you can also call people from and carry around for convenience. And a lot of the ways you can waste time on your phone, you can just do on your computer instead. Just like your phone, you could install website blockers, but just like your phone, you can get around those easily if you really want to be distracted and not do the things that you set out to do.

So... what do you do?

You've gotta dish yourself out some Cold Hard Needed Truths. I've basically scared myself in a sense in wanting to maximize my time and get as much done in a day as I physically can. I've reminded myself of what the cost of procrasination is (and that is a whole post in and of itself) and how that influences what I do online and for how long specifically.

Let me lay them out for you.

The minutes of your life are a concrete and valuable substance. You need to really think about how many of those minutes are going towards the things that you do not care about. Do you really care about the meaningless stuff you're watching just to ignore your work? No! So just do the work and make it count.

Your life should be spent in a way that makes you love it, not that distracts you from living it. Random internet content isn't what you want to be doing. You do want to do your work to get the things that you want! So- do the work.

Convenience is a sugar high that will crash you. Having to hunker down to the work is annoying and doesn't feel good and you want to avoid it, because humans are naturally inclined towards laziness. But its rewarding long term. Delayed gratification. Ignore the convenience and chose the harder but better thing for you.

Choosing what makes up your time and attention is who you are as a person. Are you going to chose to waste your time on social media for hours, and how that defines you, or chose to work hard and well and let that define you?

If you ever don't do something that you said that you would do, its not because you didn't have the time, its because you wasted the time on things that didn't matter. Humans are naturally inclined towards laziness. Turn off the apps and close the websites and do the work you have to do. Don't allow serationin boosting notifications to replace real life interactions and real life hard work that has a tangible impact.

Compound build-up of consistently making easy choices is what comes back to haunt you. Wasting the day doing nothing once won't lead to anything terrible. But choosing laziness over work over and over again are will what get to you long-term.

Social media DOES have a time and a place. It can be a healthy and wonderful thing to enjoy! But only in limited amounts. Figure out what is useful, and how much, and ruthlessly cut out the rest. Socials should be a snack in your life, not the constant fast-food diet. (I know that this is now more going towards a lifestyle change of having less social media than just being able to put it away to do your work, but I am a huge advocate for this and I think this advice could help you)

Prioritize demanding activity over active consumption. If you have free time, your first instinct should not be to consume something you wont get anything out of. When you have free time to spend, first you should look to actively create something or do a proactive activity. If you're so tired that you cant create and just do want to look at something, then read or watch something in a long format that you are still getting something out of and learning and growing from.

You will never achieve great things if all you're ever doing is dreaming about them and consuming stuff about great things. Actually do the work to accomplish that great thing yourself.

Block out the distractions that don't let you do the thing that you want to do. Stick to your intentions, everything else can wait until later.

A deep, meaningful enjoyable life cannot be attainied with a screen on every free minute and many you don't even have to waste. So put it away

Over time, you will come to appreciate your high-quality alternatives so much more. Your work might not get more enjoyable or easy, but it will be easier to sit down and do it and work through the struggle.

Now, am I perfect about this? By no means! I still screw up sometimes. But more often than not, I don't. I've trained and disciplined myself to do the hard work when it needs to be done and save the fun leisure activities that I want to do until my work is complete. It's a hard and long proccess, but as soon as you let these realizations sink in and then do the work to maintain them, it'll stick.

This may be treading into spoiler territory, but I want to ask, do you have anything planned for Shauna, Trevor, and Tierno?

Heyo and thanks for the question heh :D Dw, there's plenty I can talk about without treading on some secrets (espeically since I love the Rival Trio pls they're so good)

It's actually kind of weird how I have some crystal clear ideas for some of them and just ~vibes~ with other moments of their journeys lol. I can tell you (well, not exactly, but you get the gist) the team that I've assigned to Trevor and at least one mon that I really want to give to Shauna but Tierno is just 'please get something other than 3 Water Types'. Okay, but seriously, they're so full of potential and fun stuff all around!! They're (presumably) childhood friends that started their journeys on the same day and split paths, but still have contact with each other!! They all have different dreams and are finding their own way in the world and yet they still make time to support each other whole-heartedly!! It's such a fun spin on the usual dichotomy where people either travel together or not at all and I love that for them. The amount of mental essays and potential fic docs I get thinking about them is incredible in and of itself ngl.

For starters, I'm definitely thinking of putting the Summer Camp Arc way earlier, a little after the second Gym this time. It always confounded me whenever I think about the actual timing of that arc, like why did Ash think about getting ready for his battle with Korrina and 4 eps after he's already at camp (where he learns and then unlearns something), Serena finally commits to something without too much thought (the whole finding herself is cool on paper but there wasn't much focus on it with the actual eps beforehand pls) and lord knows what Clemont was doing. And right after that they teleport to Shalour, no joke. Going back to the Rival Trio, meeting them earlier on gives us more time with them, which everyone can benefit from lol. I have this whole thing with the camp but some points are:

More interactions overall with all of them, and I don't just mean Ash and Tierno + Serena (and Bonnie??) and Shauna + Trevor and Clemont (don't get me started on these two). I want Trevor asking Ash about all of the Pokemon that he's seen. I want Tierno dragging Clemont out of the corner because he's already had experience with Trevor doing the same. I want Serena taking up the dancing style of Tierno for funsies and Trevor trying to stop his Charmander from provoking Chespin (who knows he can't win but will battle anyone who messes with him) and ///

Actual activities please, the one thing that always gets me with the Kalos Summer Camp vs the Sinnoh one is that A) the teams aren't that much fun, and maybe it's because they're way too small?? And no one really gets to interact with others outside of already established friend groups, even the npcs B) the activities were less, idk, interactive?? We got warm-up battle with our own mons, Pokevision, that one off-screen fishing competition, orienteering and then group battles at the end. Compare that with Sinnoh's Day 1 (getting used to a new mon and then battling with it the next day), observing Pokemon in the lake and writing up a report (and you can team up if you want), a night time race and then a triathlon.

Continuing from the last point, I enjoy the way that Sinnoh allowed everyone's own mons to shine in their own ways, while showing how people influence other Pokemon and each other as well. Angie's introduction and subsequent on-screen time was impeccable in this arc, Conway in his own team was great (even with his moments) and Jessie in the last team actually made me appreciate her a tiny bit more. They're actually going through Pokemon stuff in this camp and learning new things in fun ways, while also having the catastrophic problems that is bound to happen.

I feel like for the Kalosian variant to have that same impact that the Sinnoh one did, it would need its own standing out points. Maybe this one is more fun-orientated and based on interactions with your own Pokemon as well as the Pokemon that your team members have (and obviously people as well). Maybe we can have activities where they can swap a pokemon with a friend for the day, or go through an obstacle course, or have to find a prize with only one piece of a map. Have slightly bigger teams and have more fun team names! Why couldn't we get a Team Lugia or a Team Porygon and Porygon2, huh?

Team Rocket overall. I'm not elaborating.

There's more stuff but yeah, I feel like having a really good first arc with them would go such a long way in actually establishing credibility for the Rival Trio as a whole. We remember Tierno as the rhymthic battling style guy, and we sort of remember Shauna for introducing Showcases to Serena. But I think it says something when I couldn't tell that both Tierno and especially Trevor were gunning for the league from this arc, and ngl it felt like Shauna wasn't fully sold on Showcases until after the camp, as she was researching at the time of the camp and Serena asked if she registered in the Pancham ep (which could've been a cool plot point if we talked about it, pokeani).

I want to see Trevor learn to connect with Charmander and both of them going beyond with the merging of both their dreams (to be strong and to see all kinds of Pokemon) with both of them balancing courage with sense. I want to see the other side of this with Tierno, of a determined dream with his buddy Squirtle but not so much of a direction or an idea of where to take his dancing skills (and maybe Ash being interested in it along with Serena taking it to heart will inspire him at the camp). I want to see Showcases from Shauna's side, to see how she got into it, the highs and lows, rivals and Pokemon and the climb upwards (instead of being perfect one ep and then okay in the rest). I want the camp to change them just as much as it changed the main gang. And as time goes by they get stronger and more wiser for it, we see their teams grow alongside them, the finals with the Master Class and the League.

And speaking of the camp affecting them as much as our main group, I also want them to have their own wacky adverntures and death-defying feats. Meeting with Legendaries and Mythicals. Getting losts in forests. Trading Pokemon and joining each others side quests. Training montages and new rivals and other friends and so many accidents (and evil teams wait who said that). Ash and co are not the only main characters around here and I hope I get to play around with these goofers as much as everyone else in the really (really) big Kalos and XY overall. So do I have a concrete plan? Not exactly, but I've got some big plot points in my mind and the rest should fill itself out. Hopefully that makes sense?? I've been pooped these last few weeks so that's why it took a while with this response and the more I look at it, the more confused I am with my own response lol. But yah, seriously dw anon, you've been great!!!!!!!!! Loving these questions fr <33 Hopefully you're having a good day sans my late reply :'D

I was curious so I went to your Voyager fics on ao3 and filtered out Tuvok's character tag. Three remained, one of them still centered around him without him appearing (the one about his family coping with his disappearance) and another still mentioned him by name in the text. Twice.

None of this is meant as criticism btw, people obsessed with one particular character are literally the backbone of fandom and I genuinely love this for you. Strongest soldier in the Tuvok army. And you're impeccable at it! Love you

I AM. A TUVOK GIRLIE. TO THE BONE!!!!!!!!!!! <- Cheering I would never take this as a criticism, please don't worry - I love him!

[theokusgallery]

I see it now! I was literally reading and listening about their relationship in your podcast! i really thought that Statice and Nick DESPISE eachother. This AU is interesting, I love it vry vry much. Im not fond of it at first because I can't really Imagine Basil. Basil doing all of that stuff. because he's my favorite character(and I can't really see him being like that). But I eventually learnt to separate them and sees Nick as his own character. Like an actual oc(Still sees him a little bit as Basil if you understand what I mean)( can't wait when Sunny's other friend gets revealed or maybe the parents. *Maybe* they're not that important to the story but the CURIOSITY IS TOO STRONG AND SORRY FOR YAPPING HSJSKAK IT MUST BE TIRING TO ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS I WON'T DO THAT AGAIN)(Also excuse my grammar also, english is not my first language 😣)

-Anon from the previous previous post.

(the aura I felt after asking that is unimaginable. I used to be so shy to ask anything on people's blog so Im a *bit* proud of my confidence!)

Oh I see !!

Yeah Nick is... more or less an OC, he's got very little to do with Basil now. I refuse to cut of all ties to OMORI/Basil because it's very important to his origins and taking that from him would be taking out a lot of how I personally see him, but, well... He wasn't exactly based off of normal in-game Basil, either, so it makes sense that he's very different. He looks different, acts different, has a different family, age, personality, story, nationality even, different interests... He's like, 70% OC and 30% OMORI AU. Basil is also my favorite character, and that's not how I see him at all either.

I understand why you thought Statice and Nick hated each other — to be fair, there aren't a lot of people who don't hate Nick, lol. Being around him and knowing why he is the way he is makes it easier to love him, though.

Have you ever read a fic/headcanon post you liked so much that it influenced your characterization of Patrochilles?

Aah this is such a tough question!! Especially since I've been writing them for so long, and I'm constantly either thinking about them, reading about them, talking about them, looking at art/fic/meta, and like generally being inundated by Patrochilles LOL so it's really hard to know what specific things have influenced me and how much of those characterisations/headcanons are my own.

Even though I love reading fic and I enjoy the occasional meta/headcanon post I see, I can say with a degree of certainty that a lot of how I understand Patrochilles has come either from analysing canon or sort of reading analyses on the Iliad, as well as other ancient works he appears in. Like this is where I draw my inspiration from, mostly. There's a wealth of resources and there are many different works where Achilles appears in and it's fun to sort of pick and choose different elements. The fragments of ancient greek tragedies or the entire tragedies we have where he appears are sometimes brief but they are very interesting distillations of his character and offer unique insights into how he was perceived at the time, and that has really influenced the way I write him.

I am also really inspired by all the gorgeous art I see, this one for example lives rent free in my brain and I feel like it has played a role in how I write young Achilles in general (he's such a silly menace!!) Another one I really love is this one, I think it really cemented the tall and gangly teenage Pat look in my head 🥹

These are only a couple of examples I could think of, but there are many many more that might lurk in the recesses of my brain but I just can't remember them now 😅

FASCINATING.

1. Did I even reblog anything?

2. Want citations for what ways specifically which trans men are awful

3. Marginalized people need to earn support and community? Really? Not a valid or addressable point.

Imagine if this said trans women instead of men. Do me a favor and read it that way real quick and let's take notice of how that might change how one feels about these sentences.

[booze-hats]

hey, i need to hear ur opinion on the sapphic transfem ssps

exactly the same as my opinion on ssps

[meownotgood]

Hey mags! How are you?

So, this is really self-indulgent, so I apologize if I ramble a little-

Recently I decided to do a hair transition back to my natural wavy hair, and it's been kinda hard taking care of it bc I never learned the right way to do so (I couldn't figure out if it was wavy or curly so at some point I just gave up and straightened it) but now I think it's a little better than it was before, but I've had some people tell me that the haircut I got looks weird, so that really bummed me out bc I don't know how to properly style it yet.

So, could I please ask for some thoughts on aki reacting to reader that changed hairstyle from medium size and straight to short and wavy? This is very specific and kind of silly, but it has affected me way more than I'd like to admit hdhajsha

Love your blog btw! I hope you have a nice day/night! 💕💕

yes, of course!!!

I think aki is pretty peculiar about how he keeps his own hair, so he's bound to notice a change in yours. he asks you a little bluntly, why'd you change your hairstyle? and when you answer, he says, hm. I like it this way. it's pretty.

and he's no expert on hair styling, but if you'd like, he'd be willing to offer some help. it upsets him to think of you not being happy with your appearance, he wants you to feel as beautiful as he thinks, knows that you are. he does some more research on styling and asks if he can try doing your hair for a change, hoping to cheer you up and pamper you a little.
