Podcast Rec Masterpost

I've been asked a couple times for podcast recommendations so I thought I'd post a compilation of some shows and a bit of info about them. Most shows I talk about are tagged below (I ran out of tags) so you can look through fan content as well if you're not one to care about spoilers. My asks are still open for personalized recs if you send me some others that you've listened to just because I love you, yes that's right! You. The person reading this right now!

Here goes!

Dungeons And Daddies *not a BDSM podcast

This show is a dnd actual play podcast. The first season is about four dads from our world lost in the Forgotten Realms in search of their lost sons. It’s a comedy but as with all comedies, you will cry by the end of it. It's super easy to get into with great chemistry between all the cast players and the dm, no prior knowledge of dnd is necessary. They do invoke slight horror sometimes so do keep an eye out for content warnings. Season 1 has 68.5 episodes along with bonus content and a mini campaign in between seasons 1 and 2. Season 2 is currently ongoing. Transcripts available.

The Bright Sessions

This is a science fiction podcast. The premise is a collection of clinical recordings of superpowered people's therapy sessions. The plot gets more interesting and convoluted as you get further in. Incredible voice acting filled with emotion. Does have some heavier discussions so be on the lookout for content warnings. It has 7 seasons (the last two are technically not part of the first five seasons' plot) and is completed. Transcripts available.

Hello From the Hallowoods

A post-apocalyptic fiction podcast. A beautifully written and preformed podcast that explores identity, religion, and other themes in vignettes throughout this haunted world narrated by an omniscient being. Some heavier topics are included so check the content warning before each episode. Seasons 1 and 2 are completed and season 3 will be done soon. Transcripts available.

The Magnus Archives

A horror fiction podcast. A well written chronological story told through anthology which seem to be tape recordings from a paranormal investigation institute. Incredible writing and actors that really bring it to life. This is horror so make sure to check the content warnings. The show is completed at 5 seasons. Transcripts available.

Neighbourly

Another horror fiction podcast! An interesting look into all the houses on Little Street and their peculiarities. Some more peculiar than others. The podcast is absolutely delightful with a horribly fun narrator. I would suggest checking the content warnings as some episodes are more intense than others. The show has 2 completed seasons. Transcripts available.

The Fall of the House of Sunshine

A musical mystery fiction podcast. The first season is about an investigation on the murder of a beloved host of a children's tooth-themed show. That's all I can say without spoilers. There are 3 incredible seasons along with short stories in between each season. Transcripts available until halfway through season 2.

Welcome to Nightvale

Possibly the most well known science fiction podcast, it really speaks for itself but I'll do my spiel anyways. Recorded as snippets of a daily radio broadcast, the show details the weird goings on in this strange desert town of Nightvale. Narrated almost completely by the radio host's smooth voice. It's ongoing and is currently sitting at 233 episodes. Transcripts available.

The Two Princes

A fictional queer romance podcast. It takes place in that special part of fiction that always starts with "once upon a time," it feels like a story book almost. The show is based around two boys meeting in the woods. Spoiler alert: they fall in love. It's just a cute feel good show. The podcast is complete at 3 seasons. Spotify auto-generated transcripts available.

What's the Frequency?

A self described psychedelic noir podcast. It's an absolute blast even if it is a bit hard to follow. Takes place in the 1940s in LA when all radio broadcasts were turned to static. You kind of just have to go with it until you get to the end. Completed at 12 episodes. Transcripts available.

Story Break

A writer's room podcast. The basic concept behind Story Break is 3 Hollywood writers in a room together take a prompt and try to make a story for it in an hour. There are many laughs in this podcast and just all around good humor and vibes. The show is complete at 169 episodes plus two full movie scripts. No transcript.

Who Killed Avril Lavigne

A science fiction podcast. It's about a time traveling pop punk loser and that's all you need to know. It's a podmusical so you'll be getting great nostalgic pop punk type songs along with crying from laughing so hard. Completed at 8 episodes. No transcript.

The Behemoth

A fiction podcast. Based around an unexplainable creature emerging from the ocean and how the world, and one girl in particular, deal with this phenomenon. It is pretty short with the longest episode being about 12 minutes. Completed at 20 episodes. No transcript.

Rude Tales of Magic

A dnd actual play podcast. It is mainly focused on the actual roleplay and story telling as opposed to the actual play. A handful of college students from Polaris University fuck the world up by completing a hazing ritual which in this case is a supposedly demon summoning. Obviously now they need to fix the world. Currently 64 episodes and ongoing. No transcript.

Midnight Burger

A very well written fiction podcast. It’s about a time/space traveling diner where the employees try to help solve a problem every place they land.

You’ll somehow like and hate all of them as much as possible in the best way. Currently has 29 episodes of the main feed and a 9 episode mini-series. Transcript available.

Monstrous Agonies

A fiction podcast. It’s an radio advice segment on a station for “liminal Britain” aka the monstrous world to put it plainly. It’s really chill and comforting. There’s very good advice there and the intermittent ad reads will have you giggling to yourself. Episodes are on the shorter side, averaging about 15 minutes each. It does have some heavier discussions so make sure to check the content warnings. The show is completed at 111 episodes through 3 seasons. Transcripts available.

Desert Skies

A fiction podcast. The voice acting in this one is incredible, it’s the same person the whole time. The show as a whole is also just super well done. The premise is that when you die you show up on a highway and get to this astral pit stop. I’m not going to spoil it anymore you just have to experience it. There is an additional show, Desert Skies FM that's a buddy to this one. I recommend listening to both. Season 1 was completed at 12 episodes. Transcripts available.

Wooden Overcoats

A sitcom dramedy podcast. The show is about two siblings that run a funeral home on an island. It used to be the only one, it isn’t anymore. It has a wacky cast of characters and even wackier plot points. The dialogue can be a little hard to get used to at the beginning but once you get into it it flows easily. The show is completed at 4 seasons. Transcripts available.

Greater Boston

An audio drama podcast. It's set in Boston if you couldn't tell from the title and starts with the death of a man on a rollercoaster. It blends real life with some subtle (and at times not-so-subtle) fantasy elements. It's currently at 4 completed seasons. Transcript available.

There are a lot of laughs and obviously some heartbreaks as well. Currently 1 completed season with season 2 sitting at 2 episodes for a bit now. Transcript available.

Not Another D&D Podcast

An actual play dnd podcast. This one's more mainstream than my other podcasts so I don't talk about it as much but that doesn't mean it's not incredible. The first campaign is about 3 adventurers off to save the world. Obviously. It can be a bit slow in the beginning but anything past the second half of the first season is incredible. There's humor, drama, love, and much more. The DM is also just incredible. 1 completed season, a couple mini campaigns, and the second season is currently at 43 episodes. No transcripts.

Forgive Me!

A fiction podcast. It starts based around vignettes of confessionals in this small town taken by a new father in the local church.

Completed at 10 episodes. Transcripts available.

Camp Here & There

A horror comedy podcast. It's recorded as a set of daily announcements over a loudspeaker at a totally normal summer camp. The announcements are made by the camp nurse and he's also totally normal. I promise. Make sure to check in with the content warnings as some topics are a little mature or graphic. There are currently 34 episodes. Transcripts available.

Wayward Guide for the Untrained Eye

A companion horror podcast. This is actually a bit meta because it is the result of a youtube series.

Completed at 10 episodes of video and 10 of the podcast. No transcripts.

I am in Eskew

A horror podcast. It's about a man who's trapped in a city where the buildings always change and the rain never stops. There's a weird monotonous creeping horror in this show that just draws you in. Check for content warnings definitely. Completed at 30 episodes. Transcripts available.

Rite Here Rite Now

It was amazing and funny. Copia girlies and boys fucking won!

I expected different outcome, tbh. Tobias managed to surprise me and also made me a tiny bit sad (reasons will be explained in the spoilers below).

The film consists of like 95% of concert footage and 5% of off stage/plot stuff. The quality of sound and editing is just 🤌 I expected the live of Twenties to be good and gosh Ghost delivered. And Mummy Dust...Tobias let Mary Goore out! But i honestly prefer Terzo's version (CaD) better. Sorry not sorry haha. Ghouls/Ghoulettes footage. Everyone who loves them will be very veeeery well fed!

Dance Macabre live...i was'nt wrong when i called it a satanic gay party 😁

The movie is worth watching and i do hope Ghost releases it as soon as possible for all those who were not able to go.

The spoiler free review ends here. Don't read further if you don't want to spoil it for yourself. And please, don't copy them and paste it everywhere for the sake of ruining other people's fun! Seriously, don't fucking do that!

If you accidently clicked here, don't worry! spoilers will be below and you still have a chance to avoid them :)

Alriiiiight:

Movie starts with Saltarian who tells fans to record for the first 2 minutes, to show how happy they are etc and posted a qr code for fans to upload those recordings. I guess it will be put up on RHRN website. We'll see. There were also photos of fans who attended LA ritual. I fucking loved the person who showed up in a giant Plushia suit. I LOLed! Then fans were asked to put down the phones and enjoy the movie. The beginning was narrated Star Wars kinda style (a little bit) with the small recap of the chapters and about Copia's worries that he might die. And yes, it literally began in space lol. The movie is basically is like what we saw in small snippets Ghost posted earlier. Plot mixed with a really good show.

And the plot: -Short footage of Copia and Ghouls arriving. ALmost the whole set was the same as any other concert from Re-Imperatour + a few awesome exceptions. -Dews does that annoying thing with guitar, Rain stops him, takes his pick and throws it into the crowd and Dew...he freaking showed him YouSuck sticker on the backside of his guitar. Peak Dew moment! -Copia asked the right question about the Clery. He also does not quite understand what it does, why and where it goes. I suppose Tobias decided to thicken the Ghost lore a bit and will have more clarity in the nearest future. -Remember when Copia jumped at the end of the Watcher in the Sky? He ended up in one of those stage boxes (for equipment or something) and is taken to the stage B. While he's carried to it by Kevin he has a chat with Nihil's ghost. Nihil says he recorded not 2, but 3 songs. That probably means that we'll hear a new one. (UPD: the new song we heard during the credits, "The Future is a Foreign Land" is Nihil's 3rd song! Confirmed by Tobias himself in a new interview). He also tells Copia to breath in deep and then farts. -On the Stage B Copia sings "If You Have Ghosts". 3 Ghoulettes played piano and violins and the 4th one did the haunting ghost-like opera vocals. It was beatiful. Copia kissed her hand. -He then wore boxing robe and went next to crowd. Almost the whole scene was shown in the trailer. -Btw, remember that silly moment when Nihil's eyes were crossing? Well, Kevin was also included in that staring contest. -Twenties live. The skeletons, the performance and one of those skeletons who crawled between Dew's legs...that's hot. -Nihil calls Copia "son". Copia calls Nihil "Dad". Cardi will insult him later, don't worry. -Nihil/Seestor cartoon during MOAC. Yes, that's when Sis hit him with the car. Basically it's what happens after "Kiss the Go Goat" mv. Sister leaves and Nihil runs after her. "I'll never let you go". They end up kissing in a coffin on a graveyard , later Nihil wakes up naked in a bed in a motel and we see Sister leave. -There was a moment in a movie when we see Ashley (stage crew) bring Copia a new pair of shoes and put the on on his feet. Tobias, goddammit what the hell was that? :D -Seestor was a in wheelchair all the time -She and Nihil encouraged Copia throughout the whole movie and gave him a piece of advice. -About the baloon from the poster. Copia flies on it after finishing the set...or he imagined that because a few moments later after Nihil/Seestor flashbacks he ends up on the floor and watches Seestor die. All of the Ghouls and Ghoulettes also stood right next to her. -Copia has a twin brother -Copia didn't die and became the head the Clergy (Father Imperator or something like this). He found out about his new position from a letter Seestor left for him. -New song during credits (credits show dictators, assassinations, wars and the use of nuclear war). Years 1984 and 2024 mentioned. The song is not heavy. -Ghouls/Ghoulettes real names mentioned in the credits -Funny post credit scene with Copia. He had no piant on and had a new cool drip (with black jacket and red and black cross). Seestor is also a Ghost now. Tobia's children cameo. They're also Ghosts. -Papa V is teased the same way Copia was teased in a chapter 1. They even used the same music (Pro Memoria). No face reveal. Either he will be revealed in new Chapters or at some point during the new tour???

-aaaand my biggest disappointment: no footage of Primo, Secondo and Terzo. Literally ZERO.

I mean, Nihil is a Ghost, Seestor also became a Ghost, even Tobias' children made a cameo as Ghosts, but nothing for previous Papas? Really?! The same could have been done for them, but i guess Tobias doesn't care about them anymore :( And it hurts. I know that's my fault that i had so many expectations and hopes, but holy shit :( As a newbie who never saw previous Papas, i'm so sad i'll never get a chance to see them and there won't be any new footage of them. Being Terzo widow is so hard. Guess that's why i'm a bit salty Copia lives (sorry, guys, i like him, but i also hate him haha)

And yes, as it turned out the twins theory from Square Hammer was true...but not for Terzo 😭

I enjoyed the movie nevertheless. It's fun and kinda gives you an opportunity to see the band "live" if you've never been to a ritual before. And yes, the movies was'nt just about Papa IV and his fate, i believe it was also Tobias' message for us to enjoy the life rite here rite now! As i said, Copia's girlies and boys truly fucking won. Congrats, lads, your Papa lives and will live! I bet that feels amazing. Thanks for reading! P.S. since you know the plot, don't spoil it for the others please.

Character Introduction: Saroth

(Picrew by @elena-illustration! Thanks a lot :D)

I promised character introductions, so let's do this thing! If you haven't seen my previous posts, don't fret, I'll give you all the information you need, but here's an explanation of my world's magic system and here you have a snippet of writing :]

For the sake of simplifying things, I'll repeat here the basic concept for the setting: The main trait this fantasy world has is that its two continents (gigantic floating islands/landmasses) are situated in such a way that the one on top (the "highlands") block most of the light/sky for the residents of the one below (the "lowlands").

First, a quick explanation of the relevant background:

The highlands are fertile, full of life and wealth. They have large cities and a vast population, and the territory is divided and ruled by noble houses. A feudal system, you know the drift. The lowlands are poor. Crops struggle to grow, and as such the population is much smaller than that of the highlands. They live more isolated lives, with most of the population living in rural villages. A more ancient way of life. The highlanders consider them backwards and dull-witted, but they aren't too interested in the shadowy lowlands, so the only interest they take in them is making sure they do not climb up. The highlands are theirs. As such, travel between the islands is highly restricted, but this only goes one way. As the story goes, the past few winters have been unbearably harsh. Crops have a harder time growing than ever in the lowlands. This has led to a certain group of lowlanders banding together and deciding that enough is enough, and the highlanders ought to share their resources or else they will take them for themselves. This, of course, does not go too well. The nobles of the highlands are used to bickering and warring amongst themselves, and they were more than able to crush the "invading" force with ease. They have retaliated by sending their armies down as a united front and invading the lowlands as revenge for the crime of daring to mess with them.

And that is where Saroth comes in. He is a lowlander. He was born in a village where he spent most of his life, quietly isolated. He was orphaned at a young age, and had to take care of his even younger brother, Net. An old villager took pity on them and helped Saroth throughout the years. Saroth refers to him as his master. He taught him how to hunt, and how to fight.

Even though there was no reason to learn how to use a sword in a quiet village like theirs, the old man was obsessed with a great war to come. He said he had visions. Most in the village thought he was crazy. One way or another, Saroth learned how to fight, and how to fend for himself. The only thing in his mind was protecting his brother and his home.

That all fell apart when the armies from the Highlands arrived. They burned his village to the ground. They killed his master. They killed Net. They killed everyone. Leading the attack was a mysterious man with a scar on his forearm and a glowing red eye. Someone who could use magic.

Saroth was spared, for some reason. He was taken prisoner, and dragged to a camp halfway across the island. His story starts there, with him as a captive who has just lost everything. As to what happens next... You'll have to wait a little bit to find out.

I hope all of you are enjoying these posts as much as I am enjoying making them! Leiden's introduction is coming very soon. I'm also planning on sharing other aspects of my worldbuilding, and gradually posting more snippets as I (hopefully) get back into the rhythm of writing. If you're interested in learning more about my story: Thank you! I hope you'll keep an eye out for future updates. I will gladly answer any ask I receive :]

Have a wonderful day, my friends! As always, I'm rooting for each and every one of you in your own creative endeavors <3

[chen-chen-chen-again-chen]

Hi, hello, hola, and happy Stab Caesar Day! Tumblr ate my original draft because, um, I guess its hunger is horrible and insatiable? But here I am for take two. Thank you to @artsyunderstudy, @larkral, and @forabeatofadrum, who tagged me today and who continue to craft delightful things.

Updates on My Good Egg (Good morning, good night, good morning): My plan of posting Chapter 4 today ain't gonna happen. I updated the author's notes, but the next posting date is TBD. I need to focus on my health right now, and then I'll be travelling for a bit (March 24-April 7). But hey, if you've been meaning to read this one, now's a great time to catch up? 🤣

In the meanwhile, I'll share a snippet featuring several of my OCs, Baz's queer, chaotic uni friends. Behind the cut for mild spice. 🌶️

Bunce goes off with Simon so that she can pump the American bartender for information, and as soon as they’re out of earshot, Emma leans forward, her eyes glittering. “Well?”

“Well what.”

“I told Liu and Ramesh you got kidnapped,” Emma says, waving her hand dismissively, “and of course we’re all very worried and hope you’re doing okay and acclimating to regular life again, but have. You. Ridden. That.” 

Baz regrets downing a few rats before they left for the pub, because it means he has enough blood in him to blush. “We’ve been figuring out this kidnapping situation,” he says coolly. “It hasn’t left much time for carnal pursuits.” 

“Baz,” Liu says, aghast. “Why haven’t you fucked that nice himbo? He’s clearly gagging for it - he couldn’t stop staring at your arse in those jeans.” 

“Is he a himbo?” Ramesh says. He pulls out a pen and starts to doodle a triple Venn diagram on a napkin. “He seemed like more of a twunk to me. And he’s got a great bear belly.” 

“Ladies,” Emma says, her hands fluttering in mock-distress, “please don’t objectify that sweet boy before Baz gets to objectify him. Baz will eat his fill of the man-meat and then give us a report.” 

(Please put in the comments/tags if you think Simon Snow is a twunk, a himbo, or something else delightful. 🤣)

Hello tags and tagbacks: @whogaveyoupermission, @cutestkilla, @facewithoutheart, @captain-aralias, @fatalfangirl, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @whogaveyoupermission (THE EDGING CONTINUES), @raenestee, @ileadacharmedlife, @shrekgogurt, @hushed-chorus, @shemakesmeforget, @theimpossibledemon, @imagineacoolusername

More about the hiatus for My Good Egg:

(Warning for some hard stuff, Big Feelings, trauma recovery. Feel free to skip and just bask in Ides of March posts instead!)

Okay, so introspective life/writing blather here... I keep meaning to write a post, at some point, about some of the best practices that I follow when I am writing about material that is heavy, like in Baker boxer teacher grief or the Rosethorn girl universe.

A lot of stuff that works for me is probably self-evident: go slow, be gentle, ground yourself, talk to safe people, have a release valve, be able to walk away, offer yourself a lot of self-care and self-compassion, take care of the soft animal of your body. And don't feel like you have to put everything in - some of what you can write can just be for you, and it can be enough to have written it, and not include it in the finished product.

I honestly didn't expect Good morning, good night, good morning to get me where I live. It is, as I've always maintained, a dumb horny rom com (that somehow developed a plot and backstory and plot TWISTS and OCs but ANYWAY). But there was a line in Chapter 3 that kept rattling around in me:

“You were a kid,” Simon says, his voice low and angry. “You were just a kid.” 

This is not the first time I've been triggered by own fic (and probably won't be the last, LOL!), but this one did me a doozy. I've had to take a few steps back, and just focus on recovering from trauma that's been reactivated in my body. It is wild what the body remembers, and how it holds onto pain.

(There is, at the same time, other stuff happening with my family with grief and estrangement and just a whole mischegoss of hard feelings, so that adds another element into the mix.)

To circle back round to My Good Egg: I'm putting it to the side for now while I tend to my health and just recovering from the past few weeks. It's funny - I don't think it's a particularly angsty story or one that does a super deep dive into trauma, but I need to take some pieces off my plate right now, and this fic is one of them.

I will always keep writing - the WIP game has been a delightful brain refresher, and I have a very fun Six Sentence Sunday post that I'm already excited to share. But for now, My Good Egg is gonna have a li'l nap. When I come back to it, I think I'll switch over to writing the second draft in its entirety, and then posting the chapters weekly, whenever that happens. I'm not putting a timeline on it right now.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk making your way through this personal essay, if you've gotten this far. I am continually blown away and delighted by everyone who engages with the fic, and I am so excited to serve you up some treats in the future.

To end on a lighter note, here is an exchange with my spouse, the inestimable EarlobeGreyTea who continues to offer thoughtful and nuanced feedback on this fic, Exhibit A:

EarlobeGreyTea: Did they fuck in this chapter?

Me: No Me: And they didn't fuck in the previous chapter Me: It's the EROTIC Grope Fest. It doesn't have to have explicit sex (yet) EarlobeGreyTea: Yeah, I guess it isn't the Sloppy Fuck Fest

Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️

[what-the-hell-is-going-on-here]

Well not suire if there is a community dedicated to it, Yet- Buuut! There's definetly a nom related community that you're part of anyhow!

Also showw!!!

omg i am now Here. tbh i've been a part of the community for YEARS as a lurker, i've known about vore since 2019 LMAO- i used to lurk on DA and here for a loooong while. i feel like a little tiny veteran (to an extent.. ik there's people who have been here for way longer than me)

now that i have friends that like vore too, their input definitely helped me gained the confidence to actually interact with others and even post some of the stuff i've created :3 i've had this acc for a bit and used it especially early on when i was (admittedly) very cringe since i had nobody to ramble to, so if anyone seeing this ever goes back later than 2022.. whatever you find is your own fault LOL

i'm happy that i've already met a few ppl from posting this kinda stuff, even if we don't talk too much! everyone here has always been so cool and i feel like tumblr is the best place for soft, nonsexual stuff like this :3 it's our little niche!!

of course my blog won't be anything too formal lmao, i don't expect (or really want) a huge following so i don't form that mindset of "must create for the people, not myself"- this is just my little silly corner where i can ramble about my weird interests with other fellow weirdos :D

honestly i'm shocked- there's already a small group of people who like vore in the ult/rakill fandom, from what i've seen! (TYSM FOR ALL THE LIKES AND RBS ITS ONLY BEEN A DAY.. LOVE YALL) i didn't think so many people would have also gone "ah yes, a robot with no mouth. EAT ME." BEHEJDJ

i've been pred/preycrushing SO HARD on V1 / V2 / gabr/iel it's not even funny .... i am going bonkers lmao so im sure there will be more rambles or doodles soon

and for the fic, it isn't dont yet, but once it is i'll consider posting it! howeeeverrr.... here's a little snippet for now :3

sorry for getting off track there lol, i'm just happy to be a part of this community no matter how small :'] it's just really nice embracing parts of yourself that you thought were bad at first, and the community here has always been so welcoming <3

wip game

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

thanks for the tag @piglinmyfeet!! i must admit i'm surprised at how few wips everyone in the original thread has because, as i've mentioned to a few people before, i have over a hundred and i'm not even exaggerating

i will try to keep this brief however and only list the wips i'm actively set on getting done. they will be ordered by fandom because my folders are ordered by fandom, so i might as well put the fandom here too. also be aware that some of these are rather dark or smut or both

so, here goes:

i'd make a deal with god (jcs)

martyn decapitating ren??? (mcyt obviously)

and i wish you away (mcyt)

it's a proposition, s... - untitled, but this is what it looks like in the notes app because of the first line (mcyt)

running up that hill (mcyt)

hotguy mindfuckery au - 7 wips here, but i'm putting them under the same number cause they're all the same au: trashed and scattered, thoughtless, sweet sacrifice, dear, how it's going to be, calm me down, mafia catches up to them - somewhere before it all (mcyt)

cat dad au - same story as above: cleo reveal, kitten name change, parent death, awful scene, soon i'll be sixty ye... (same as number 4) (mcyt)

forever young (mcyt)

now i bend like a willow, thinking of you (mcyt)

5+1 3 electric boogalee (mcyt)

5+1 4 ya mum's a whore (mcyt)

they fucked in the room where it happened (hamilton)

philip death time loop (hamilton)

but the world still spins (hamilton)

do you think you're what they say you are? (hamilton)

adams stargazing (1776)

trans girl adams (1776)

jedams (1776)

pages of my fantasies (newsies)

zombie apocalypse au (newsies)

medda scene (newsies)

american idiot au (newsies)

jack does it for the money (newsies)

kiss today goodbye (newsies)

jack dies (newsies)

crutchie dies (newsies)

god. all right. so i have a problem. and there's many more wips that don't have a folder yet, but have been discussed extensively or live rent free in my head. also the number of wips keeps growing. constantly. like all the newsies wips were born within two weeks. i genuinely, truly have a problem /lh

in fact, i even made a meme last year, ft. my old discord pfp

anyway, moving on. clearly i don't have this many people to tag, so @bloop-im-a-frog-now hi! you're like the only person i feel fully comfortable tagging so-

anyone who wants to join in though, you're more than welcome to!

Share a snippet from a WIP

If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

Share a snippet from a WIP

Lil, I am sorry work on my Danny gets shot fic stalled, but... you know, I'll try and get back to it soon! 💜

But okay. Wippet Snippet.

"It's nice to hear you laugh," Danny says, and his voice is so tender that it sets alarm bells ringing. "Sounds like you haven't done that much lately." "Well..." And then Carol comes back in, setting down the daybook, state cables and other paraphernalia for the day's work, beaming in an irritating sort of way. (Unlike CJ, she's not quite so good at holding a grudge against Danny.) And it just brings it all back. Shareef, the article, all of it. "Look, I have to go," she says into the receiver. "Okay.” He goes quiet again, before adding, “You did a good job on the Taylor Reid show.” “You’re doing it again.” “I know.” “I’m not going to tell you anything you want to hear.” “I figured as much.”

(from my mystery fic I'm hoping to post sometime this week!)

If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

It's not published so I don't actually expect art for it, but would love to see my beloves dancing at the second inaugural...

The actual one is probably a scene from Wrong Place at the Right Time, CJ and Danny sitting out by the pool in Florida and talking, the lights of the pool reflecting on their faces... UGH. it would be so pretty!

Thank you Lil! <3

WIP Wednesday!

If you'd like to see a list of my WIPs, check out my AO3 profile.

Today, I'm gonna talk about a WIP I'm really excited about, Zodiac Killers.

(Sidenote: I was gonna say "we're gonna talk about" but I feel like this is a one-sided conversation right now…)

Zodiac Killers is yet another Assassination Classroom fic told through Nagisa's POV that will be 12 chapters long and I already have them planned out. I'm halfway through writing chapter 2 and will begin posting 2-3 times a week after it's complete. There is a surprise crossover fandom, but just like with most of my other stuff, you won't need to know it to enjoy the fic. It is a very popular fandom though (not BNHA, sorry, I know this one is commonly crossed over with AC). Here's a little sneak peek.

Chapter 1 beta read by JackieWepps. (Thank you Jackie!)

*Altered slightly so as to prevent spoilers.

All I know is that when I woke up yesterday, I was normal. I’ve no idea what happened to change that. Was it Shiro while I was focused on trying to help save Itona? Was it Korosensei? Is it puberty? Who. The fuck. Knows. But right now, it’s dark. It’s cold. I don’t have hands. My tongue feels weird and I have the inkling to stick it out ahead of me for whatever reason. I have no idea what’s going on, but yesterday, I was normal. Why am I not now??

I wiggle my way forward and find it oddly easy to do. Soon enough, my belly touches the cold tile on my kitchen floor and I sigh in relief. There’s a bone chilling scream above me and I glance up, my eyes bulging out of my skull when I see my mom.

Why is my mom so huge?

She rushes over to the pantry. “What the hell did you do to my son?” She cries out, her voice choked with emotion.

“Ma—Wha—I’m right here!” I try to explain.

She whips her head around, broom in hand. “Nagisa?” She seems to look right over me. “Where are you?”

I wiggle around to face her. “I’m right here. What happened? Why are you so big?”

Her face goes pale and she glares down at me, absolutely horrified. “What did you do to my child?” She says in a voice so volatile and unfamiliar, I am frozen with fear by it.

-----

And that’s how I knew it wasn’t a dream. As she stands there, holding me up in her arms, I put it together.

I change when people touch me.

She faints and I don’t blame her. However, I’ve no idea what else to do in this form, but apparently sleeping turned me back before, so I might as well try that. I’m tired again anyway. I manage to find my way to the bed and snuggle under the covers. At least it’s more normal if I wake up naked in my own bed. As for the rest…

I’ll just have to figure it out tomorrow.

*End

I'm hoping to finish writing this up after Karmagisa week, but like I said, I'm really excited about it. What are you're thoughts on this little snippet? And which fandom do you think it is?

For future WIP Wednesdays, feel free to ask for sneak peeks of stuff. I'd rather not straight up spoil anything, but sometimes talking about it inspires me to work on it, so any asks regarding this or my other WIPs are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for joining me on my first WIP Wednesday. 😊

**Just a note for tomorrow, I'll be posting it as fanart Friday even though it's Thursday and then posting Thursday covers on Friday because of Karmagisa week. I figure in the long run, it won't really make a difference since Tumblr doesn't tell you the date/time a post was made. So yeah. I'll, uh, see you tomorrow for "Fanart Friday". lol

[soojinscherries]

Can you tell us the details about faline or y/n please??

I wrote this out in my notebook a while back, and it's based off of what google would give if you looked someone up.

--

Fauna

(Japanese singer)

Faline Yazawa, better known by her nickname and stage name Fauna, is a Japanese singer, rapper, and songwriter based in South Korea. She is a member of South Korean girl group I-dle, which debuted on May 2, 2018 under Cube Entertainment.

Born: Febuary 13, 2000 (age 22 years), Osaka, Japan

Height: 5'0'' (Soyeon's favorite detail)

Full name: Yazawa Faline

Hangul: 동물군

Kanji: 動物相

(^ might be wrong ^)

Parents: Yazawa Hana

--

Now other facts, that an average fan would have to dig a little deeper to find (bold), or only her close friends know (reg).

--

Faline is an only child, she was born in Osaka, Japan, and moved to Toronto when she was one. Her father, a real prick, left as soon as her mother (Hana) told him that she was pregnant. Hana was 18 at the time of birth, and she raised Faline with some money that her dad gave her after her own mother had kicked her out of the house for being a "Disgrace to their family". Faline never knew who her dad was, and was perfectly fine not knowing.

She did get some trouble at school, because some kids thought it was weird that she didn't have a dad and no one would play with her. The Faline met Elizabeth Hyun, a Korean/Canadian girl, and they instantly became best friends. They stuck together all through elementary, middle, and high school, well, not all of high school. (<- will be explained as the story goes on)

Other friends Faline meets in middle/high school:

Ein Hartvig, Danish and a cool guy, they met after Elizabeth and Elizabeth's soon-to-be boyfriend and Ein's friend set them up on a date, knowing that they already kind of knew each other from being in band together, but not knowing that they both were gay, but it kinda worked out in the end 'cause Faline and Ein continued on as best friends, even on into Faline's idol life. Also the person who taught Faline how to speak Danish. (Fans found out about Ein and Faline being friends when Ein called Faline on his live stream *not sure what to call this show, like whether it could be something almost like Seulgi.zip or Miyeon's show* to prove that they are friends to some Nevies who were in chat). Faline also worked at Ein's dad's car shop.

Caroline/Yujun Chung, Korean, her and Faline had something going on back in high school, even fans suspect it, but what happened in the janitor's closet, stays in the janitor's closet wink wink. And if you asked either of them, they'd say their relationship was never set in stone, so more like fwb. Caroline and Faline met through band, they both played trumpet and sat next to each other in class. And it was obvious that Caroline had a big, fat crush on Faline, but the ladder barely noticed, already having her eyes on someone else. (My mind is blanking here, but that is about it with Caroline)

Then there's Jonas, don't have a last name for him yet, but just know that he's a prick <3

That's about all I can give without spoiling too much of the story. I'll have to figure out how exactly I'm gonna post these, cause I really just wrote them as short snippets, not following any order- But that's a problem for future me, so stay tuned :)

edit: Forgot some minor details, like how when she was 15, she moved back to Japan, and how she decided that she wanted to be an idol on the whim--her Korean skills are a little better than Shuhua’s, she has more mistakes in writing than in speaking, and focuses on her pronunciation a bit more than grammar. She joined Cube the same time Miyeon did, and Miyeon was her first friend in Korea, so she’s also the member she’s closest to in I-dle. She didn’t come to Korea with 0 knowledge of Korean, having 2 close friends who were Korean, she knew a little bit from what they’d teach her sometimes, so she knew some basic stuff. 

She also has a black Maine Coon named Lucky, and a Cockatoo, that lives with her mom back in Canada, named Joy (Yes, named after Red Velvet’s Joy--Faline is a b i g Luvie) :] Might give her a third pet, I kinda want her to be one of those people, like Lisa, who has so many pets that it’s almost absurd- Originally the third pet was going to be a cotton candy corn snake named Zaki, but idk if that’d be too much? Prolly not, I-dle is already chaotic, having the fictional member have a snake shouldn’t be a problem-
