Revamp #2, ft. Absol!!

Nicknamed the Luminary, the Muse, and sometimes the Paramour, Absol was revered as the patron god of artistry, creativity, beauty, and inspiration. They were worshipped by painters, sculptors, and authors as much as they were worshipped by architects, engineers, and inventors. These people attributed the finesse of their work to Absol's guidance, many claiming to have heard his voice whispering to them. They were also sometimes worshipped as a god of love, believing that the beauty and intricacy of a loving relationship were similarly his doing.

Their powers were limited, but most notably included a charming silver tongue, used to influence and inspire the mortals they interacted with. It was rumored, however, that one could be charmed simply by looking at him, or even standing near him, as if he radiated some sort of aura.

[snuggles-and-struggles]

First up, horrorswap. I've been rotating it in my brain off and on lately, so I figured I'd start with one of the notes I'd made- oh lord almost two years ago WOW wait when is that art from. Oh man. Time is an illusion. Okay. Anyway.

Similar startings as how I usually do HF, Edge and Stretch met back underground, fell in love, and everything was cool and good. But then Tale suddenly lost contact with them, and they didn’t know what happened…until some time later, Fell surfaced. They quickly found out their timeline had merged with Tales, but that they could no longer contact Swap through the machine.

Eventually SF and TrF joined them on the surface, neither having met the others back underground. Years pass and Swap still hasn’t surfaced. Edge holds onto hope he has to, but time keeps dragging out.

It’s been long enough Edge is just about the only one still holding out hope, but he still has his job and life to tend to, and it hardly ever comes up he still wears the necklace Stretch gave him their first Gyftmas together, every day.

Then, something happens. The machine in Red and Toriel’s basement whirs to life and spits out two, incredibly fucked up monsters. The eventually dubbed Rust attacks Red initially, but Edge (who’d been visiting) gets between them, almost immediately recognizing “Stretch”. Rust is too out of it for it to register, and Red quickly incapacitates him before he can strike when Edge is in shock. “Blue” was already unconscious.

They’re both taken to receive medical treatment, both in pretty atrocious condition. When “Stretch” awakens, he starts to recognize the others, but…he’s pretty seriously traumatized. He’s sharp and a little cruel, seems to think this is some sort of dream or nightmare, not quite convinced it’s reality but not rejecting it either. Whatever happened, it’s obvious he’s been through the wringer. His body is mutated in some pretty serious ways, along with a lot of just outright damage, the worst of all being the gaping slice taken from his head. His right eye socket is full of diffuse magic, and he’s severely malnourished. “Blue"'s not much better off, and completely blind. Frankly, neither of them should still be alive, and yet.

As things slowly become more “real” to them, the newly dubbed Rust tries to reject Edge’s help. But Edge is nothing if not stubborn and full of love. He wears him down eventually, but the others are a bit worried for Edge, Red and Toriel especially.

Rust is pretty fucked in the head, to put it mildly (pun only slightly intended). He’s standoffish, aggressive…deranged at his worst times. And the newly dubbed Coal is really out of it at first, nor does he remember any of their old friends, so no one gets the context for what in the hell happened to them, as Rust would be more likely to chop his own arm off than talk about where they’d come from.

But they don’t see Rust with Edge when no one else is around. Yes, of course it’s incredibly rough at the beginning. There were probably many times Edge left the hospital disassociating and didn’t stop until he returned the next day. But as he slowly, slowly comes around, can’t break Edge with his bullshit, Rust…eases. Only around Edge and Coal, only. At first.

He can’t be released from the psych hospital until he proves he isn’t a danger to anyone, which takes...a while, but he softens to Edge, of course, for him, and it’s a hard fought battle, but Edge eventually convinces him to try. If not for his sake, then his brother's.

Rust eventually concedes, and stops fighting treatment. Coal’s memory is pretty shot, but he starts doing better, too, not nearly as volatile as Rust was at any point.

And eventually, Rust is permitted to be placed under a sort of conservatorship with Edge. It helps him stay on track, too, because if he fucks up, it comes back on Edge, so he really does intend to…mostly, keep on the straight and narrow.

And Edge loves him. He does. It’s incredibly hard sometimes, but there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for Stretch Rust. He moves in, while Coal moves in with Tale Asgore for company and help with his disabilities. And Rust really does improve. He’s mostly just quiet, his humors a lot more dark most of the time, but he’ll still crack jokes. He prefers to stick close to Edge if others are around, but if they aren’t, well. He can be a little clingy, but of course Edge doesn’t mind. Usually.

^ there was more to the note but it was just about a poly variant lol

I love them but man do they need sooo much therapy. I have a really sweet/sad convo wip between them I will post...at some point probably, but honestly I don't have much more actually written out for them, I just rotate them ✌️😔

A MASTERLIST OF ALL THE BOOKS I COULD FIND IN TIM'S BOOKSHELVES

As someone who basically sees Tim Laughlin as my own version of Jesus Christ (I kind of wish I was lying but I have a 'beyond measure' tattoo branding my skin so perhaps I'm entirely serious), I simply needed to know what was on those shelves of his. And this was a hard task to achieve, believe me... but I got much farther than I initially thought I would.

(I've got so much to say about all of these books and how they might string together to create a deeper understanding of Tim as a character but I won't go into it here... maybe in a future post or video essay, who knows).

If you wish to help a girl out and attempt to figure out any of the other books I simply can not crack no matter how I look at the screenshots and mess with the adjustments... here's a folder full of 2k sized screenshots of those shelves.

Before I list the books one by one, I want to make a couple observations:

1) Almost all of the books I was able to pinpoint are non-fiction. The ones that aren't are children's books.

2) Topically, we see an interdisciplinary interest in:

History: from a book on a king in 4BC, to a survey of landholding in England in the 11th century.

Somewhat current historical events: books on World War I and II.

Western Philosophers: specially from the 16th to the 18th century.

Aesthetics: there's at least 2 books on the subject matter, but I couldn't find the second one, sadly.

Spirituality: not only christian/catholic; some of these books touch on Eastern practices such as Buddhism and Hinduism.

Fairy tales / children's books.

Psychology: specially in regards to mysticism and sexuality.

Science and scientific discovery/research.

3) A lot of the history, current events, and spirituality books are autobiographies/memoirs.

4) A lot of books (specially those on sciences and philosophy) tend to be more so anthologies or overviews on a subject matter rather than a book written by one specific author on one very concrete topic.

Overall, this all reflects very well an idea Jonathan Bailey himself expressed in a brilliant interview you can watch here if you haven't yet:

"Tim has buddhist flags in his 1980s flat in San Francisco, he has crystals, he is someone who is always seeking other ways to understand human experience. Which is probably tiring for him. Throughout the decades, he sort of appears as completely different people. At the crux of it there's this extreme grinding, contrasting, aggressive duality between feeling lovable and not feeling lovable. There's such shame in Tim. But it's the push and the pull which keeps him alive.”

This desire to understand human psychology, spirituality, and the ways of the universe through as many diverse lenses as possible, as well as a predilection for non-fiction, expresses very much to me that insatiable thirst for truth that defines his character so strongly.

OKAY, THAT BEING SAID. Here's the list in chronological order of publication.

PS. if you decided to click on any of the following titles it'd definitely not take you to a google drive link of the pdf file where you could download and read these books for yourself. Because that would be illegal and wrong.

Journeys through Bookland by Charles H. Sylvester (1901?) (1922 Edition)

I don't know which specific volume he owns, sorry, I tried my best but the number is not discernible (hell, the title barely is). If anyone wants the download link to these hmu because I'm not about to individually download all 10 right now.

10 volumes of poems, myths, Bible stories, fairy tales, and excerpts from children's novels, as well as a guide to the series. It has been lauded as ‘a new and original plan for reading, applied to the world’s best literature for children.’

Pilgrimage by Graham Seton Hutchison (1936)

This book provides a view of the battlefields of WW I through the eyes of the average fighting man. 

One curious thing about this book is that it's author, a British First World War army officer and military theorist, went on to become a fascist activist later in his life. Straight from Wikipedia:

"Seton Hutchison became a celebrated figure in military circles for his tactical innovations during the First World War but would later become associated with a series of fringe fascist movements which failed to capture much support even by the standards of the far right in Britain in the interbellum period." He made a contribution to First World War fiction with his espionage novel, The W Plan."

The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton (1948) 

The Seven Storey Mountain tells of the growing restlessness of a brilliant and passionate young man, who at the age of twenty-six, takes vows in one of the most demanding Catholic orders—the Trappist monks. At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it. At the abbey, he wrote this extraordinary testament, a unique spiritual autobiography that has been recognized as one of the most influential religious works of our time. Translated into more than twenty languages, it has touched millions of lives.

This book requires no introduction. It's the one he keeps the Fire Island's postcard in and the one we see him re-reading in episode 8 after Hawk brings it to the hospital with him at the end of episode 7.

Just a little detail I noticed:

Apparently he liked the book so much he visited Gethsemani, which was the home of its author all the way up till 1968.

For all we know, he might have even met its author!

Sexual Behavior in the Human Male by Alfred Charles Kinsey, Wardell B. Pomeroy (1948)

When published in 1948 this volume encountered a storm of condemnation and acclaim. It is, however, a milestone on the path toward a scientific approach to the understanding of human sexual behavior. Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey and his fellow researchers sought to accumulate an objective body of facts regarding sex. They employed first hand interviews to gather this data. This volume is based upon histories of approximately 5,300 males which were collected during a fifteen year period. This text describes the methodology, sampling, coding, interviewing, statistical analyses, and then examines factors and sources of sexual outlet.

Yes, Charles Kinsey is indeed behind the Kinsey scale that has done so much for the LGBTQ+ community.

Their Finest Hour (1949), The Grand Alliance (1950), and Closing the Ring (1951) by Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the cataclysm that swept the world remains the definitive history of the Second World War. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable both for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring, compelling work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1953. 

The European Philosophers from Descartes to Nietzsche by Monroe C. Beardsley (1960)

In so far as we reflect upon ourselves and our world, and what we are doing in it, says the editor of this anthology, we are all philosophers. And therefore we are very much concerned with what the twelve men represented in this book--the major philosophers on the Continent of Europe--have to say to us, to help us build our own philosophy, to think things out in our own way. For the issues that we face today are partly determined by the work of thinkers of earlier generations, and no other time is more important to the development of Western thought than is the 250-year period covered by this anthology. Monroe. C. Beardsley, Professor of Philosophy at Swarthmore College, has chosen major works, or large selections from them, by each man, with supplementary passages to amplify or clarify important points. These include: Descartes - Discourse on Method (Descartes), Thoughts (Pascal), The Nature of Evil (Spinoza), The Relation Between Soul and Body (Leibniz), The Social Construct (Rousseau), Critique of Pure Reason (Kant), The Vocation of Man (Fichte), Introducciton to the Philosophy of History (Hegel), The World as Will and Idea (Schopenhauer), A General View of Positivism (Comte), The Analysis of Sensations and the Relation of the Physical to the Psychical (Mach), Beyond Good and Evil (Nietzsche).

The New Intelligent Man's Guide to Science by Isaac Asimov (1965)

Asimov tells the stories behind the science: the men and women who made the important discoveries and how they did it. Ranging from Galilei, Achimedes, Newton and Einstein, he takes the most complex concepts and explains it in such a way that a first-time reader on the subject feels confident on his/her understanding. Assists today's readers in keeping abreast of all recent discoveries and advances in physics, the biological sciences, astronomy, computer technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other sciences.

The Heavenly City of the 18th Philosophers by Carl L. Becker (1932) (1962 reprint)

Here a distinguished American historian challenges the belief that the eighteenth century was essentially modern in its temper. In crystalline prose Carl Becker demonstrates that the period commonly described as the Age of Reason was, in fact, very far from that; that Voltaire, Hume, Diderot, and Locke were living in a medieval world, and that these philosophers “demolished the Heavenly City of St. Augustine only to rebuild it with more up-to-date materials.” In a new foreword, Johnson Kent Wright looks at the book’s continuing relevance within the context of current discussion about the Enlightenment.

I find the particular choice of adding this book very curious and on brand, since it explores the idea that philosophers of the Enlightenment very much resembled religious dogma/faith in their structure and purpose. Just... A+ of the props department to not just add any kind of book on philosophy anthology.

Herod The Great by Michael Grant (1971)

The Herod of popular tradition is the tyrannical King of Judaea who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents and died a terrible death in 4 BC as the judgment of God. But this biography paints a much more complex picture of this contemporary of Mark Antony, Cleopatra, and the Emperor Augustus. Herod devoted his life to the task of keeping the Jews prosperous and racially intact. To judge by the two disastrous Jewish rebellions that occurred within a hundred and fifty years of his death -- those the Jews called the First and Second Roman Wars -- he was not, in the long run, completely successful. For forty years Herod walked the most precarious of political tightropes. For he had to be enough of a Jew to retain control of his Jewish subjects, and enough of a pro-Roman to preserve the confidence of Rome, within whose territory his kingdom fell. For more than a quarter of a century he was one of the chief bulwarks of Augustus' empire in the east. He made Judaea a large and prosperous country. He founded cities and built public works on a scale never seen before: of these, recently excavated Masada is a spectacular example. And he did all this in spite of a continuous undercurrent of protest and underground resistance. The numerous illustrations presents portraits and coins, buildings and articles of everyday use, landscapes and fortresses, and subsequent generations' interpretations of the more famous events, actual and mythical, of Herod's career.

Readings in the Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics compiled by Milton Charles Nahm (1975)

A college level comprehensive anthology of essays written on the arts and the field of aesthetic philosophy.

The Mustard Seed: Discourses on the Sayings of Jesus Taken from the Gospel According to Thomas by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1975)

This timely book explores the wisdom of the Gnostic Jesus, who challenges our preconceptions about the world and ourselves. Based on the Gospel of Thomas, the book recounts the missing years in Jesus’ life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta. Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a chapter of the book; each examines one aspect of life — birth, death, love, fear, anger, and more — counterpointed by Osho’s penetrating comments and responses to questions from his audience.

(You don't know how fulfilling it was to find some of these books and just sit there like "oh my god, yessss, he'd SO read that".)

A Third Testament by Malcolm Muggeridge (1976)

A modern pilgrim explores the spiritual wanderings of Augustine, Pascal, Blake, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Bonhoeffer. A Third Testament brings to life seven men whose names are familiar enough, but whose iconoclastic spiritual wanderings make for unforgettable reading. Muggeridge's concise biographies are an accessible and manageable introduction to these spiritual giants who carried on the testament to the reality of God begun in the Old and New Testaments. - St. Augustine, a headstrong young hedonist and speechwriter who turned his back on money and prestige in order to serve Christ - Blaise Pascal, a brilliant mathematician who pursued scientific knowledge but warned people against thinking they could live without God - William Blake, a magnificent artist-poet who pled passionately for the life of the spirit and warned of the blight that materialism would usher in - Soren Kierkegaard, a renegade philosopher who spent most of his life at odds with the church, and insisted that every person must find his own way to God - Fyodor Dostoevsky, a debt-ridden writer and sometime prisoner who found, in the midst of squalor and political turmoil, the still small voice of God - Leo Tolstoy, a grand old novelist who swung between idealism and depression, loneliness and fame and a duel awareness of his sinfulness and God s grace - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor whose writings and agonized involvement in a plot to kill Hitler cost him his life, but continue to inspire millions

Portraits: The photography of Carl Van Vechten (1978)

Can't find a file but you can borrow it from archive.com in the link provided.

During his career as a photographer, Carl Van Vechten’s subjects, many of whom were his friends and social acquaintances, included dancers, actors, writers, artists, activists, singers, costumiers, photographers, social critics, educators, journalists, and aesthetes. [...] As a promoter of literary talent and a critic of dance, theater, and opera, Carl Van Vechten was as interested in the cultural margin as he was in the day’s most acclaimed and successful people. His diverse subjects give a sense of both Carl Van Vechten’s interests and his considerable role in defining the cultural landscape of the twentieth century; among his many sitters one finds the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance, the premier actors and writers of the American stage, the world’s greatest opera stars and ballerinas, the most important and influential writers of the day, among many others.

Report of the Shroud of Turin by John H Heller (1983)

Heller, while a man of science, was nevertheless a devout man (Southern Baptist). He viewed his task concerning The Shroud with great scepticism; there have been far too many hoaxes in the world of religion. The book describes in great detail the events leading up to the team's conviction that the Shroud was genuine; last - not least - being Heller and Adler's verification of "heme" (blood) and the inexplicable "burned image" of the crucified man. Although carbon dating indicates that the image is not 2000 years old and that the cloth is from the Middle Ages, there is not enough evidence to disprove Heller's assertion that the Shroud is indeed genuine.

Context for those who may not know (though I doubt it's necessary): The shroud of Turin "is a length of linen cloth that bears a faint image of the front and back of a man. It has been venerated for centuries, especially by members of the Catholic Church, as the actual burial shroud used to wrap the body of Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion, and upon which Jesus's bodily image is miraculously imprinted."

It is a very controversial subject matter and I definitely don't know that from going to an Opus Dei school since the day I was born till the day I graduated high school.

Mysticism, Psychology and Oedipus by Israel Regardie (1985)

I've tried my hardest but despite many Israel Regardie books being on the world wide web, I can't find a copy of this specific one.

Mysticism, Psychology and Oedipus, from the Small Gems series is one of these mysterious alchemys which Regardie and Spiegelman crafted for the serious student of mysticism. Mysticism, Psychology and Oedipus by Dr. Israel Regardie and his friend, world renowned Jungian Psychologist, J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D. was created to reach the serious student at the intersecting paths of magic, mysticism and psychology. While each area of study overlaps they also maintain their own individual paths of truth. One of Regardie’s greatest gifts was his rare ability to combine these difficult and diverse subjects and make them understandable.

Domesday Book Through Nine Centuries by Elizabeth M. Hallam (1986)

In 1086 a great survey of landholding in England was carried out on the orders of William the Conqueror, and its results were recorded in the two volumes, which, within less than a century, were to acquire the name of Domesday, or the Book of Judgment 'because its decisions, like those of the last Judgment, are unalterable'. This detailed survey of the kingdom, unprecedented at that time in its scope, gives us an extraordinarily vivid impression of the life of the eleventh century.

The following two are a fuck up on the props department part because they were published after 1987 but we'll forgive them because they were not expecting for me to do all this to figure out the titles of these books, I'm sure:

The One Who Set Out to Study Fear by Peter Redgrove (1989)

This book barely exists physically, rest assured it does not exist online... LOL.

The author of The Wise Wound presents here a re-telling of Grimm's famous fairy tales, written in a manner and spirit more suited to the present day. Each story is rooted in the original, but cast in an energetic style that is both disrespectful and humorous. 

Essential Papers on Masochism by Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick Hanly (1995)

The contested psychoanalytic concept of masochism has served to open up pathways into less-explored regions of the human mind and behavior. Here, rituals of pain and sexual abusiveness prevail, and sometimes gruesome details of unconscious fantasies are constructed out of psychological pain, desperate need, and sexually excited, self- destructive violence. In this significant addition to the "Essential Papers in Psychoanalysis" series, Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick Hanly presents an anthology of the most outstanding writings in the psychoanalytic study of masochism. In bringing these essays together, Dr. Fitzpatrick Hanly expertly combines classic and contemporary theories by the most respected scholars in the field to create a varied and integrated volume. This collection features papers by S. Nacht, R. Loewenstein, Victor Smirnoff, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Laplanche, Robert Bak, Leonard Shengold, K. Novick, J. Novick, S. Coen, Margaret Brenman, Esther Menaker, S. Lorand, M. Balint, Bernhard Berliner, Charles Brenner, Helene Deutsch, Annie Reich, Marie Bonaparte, Jessica Benjamin, S.L. Olinick, Arnold Modell, Betty Joseph, and Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel.

Let's not forget another book we know has been present in his shelves at some point:

Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe (1929)

It is Wolfe's first novel, and is considered a highly autobiographical American coming-of-age story. The character of Eugene Gant is generally believed to be a depiction of Wolfe himself. The novel briefly recounts Eugene's father's early life, but primarily covers the span of time from Eugene's birth in 1900 to his definitive departure from home at the age of 19. The setting is a fictionalization of his home town of Asheville, North Carolina, called Altamont in the novel.

And Ron Nyswaner mentioned in a podcast (might be this one? I'm not sure) that he scrapped from the script a line where Tim recommends this poem at some point:

He specially emphasized the line "If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me".

And lastly, if anyone wanted to know:

His copy of the bible is the Revised Standard Version by Thomas Nelson from either 1952 or 1953.

Because why the hell not figure out what specific translation of the holy bible a fictional character was basing his beliefs on — as if the set designers cared nearly as much as I do.

little lestappen drabble

Hii, so I usually don't post on here, but you know it, it's winter break and the brain rot is brain rotting, so I've started to write a drabble. It's inspired by some of my favorite moments of Charles and Max that can't seem to leave my mind. This is nowhere near anything but a draft, though I thought some of you might enjoy this. Please be so kind and let me know if you like it or what could be improved. Also if anyone has any ideas where this could go plot-wise hmu, because I suck at drawing up plots beforehand. Have a great day/night wherever you are. L <3

The sun peaks right through the tips of his hair. Strands flying, highlights glistening in the golden light. One last lap they said, one more push, till he got to feel the light of the setting sun blind his eyes. He's in Texas, finished his quail lap, scrambled out of the car, and all he searched for was the blue of his eyes.

Like ocean, like storm. Crashing on a shore, there will always be a twist in Charles gut when Max meets his eyes. Inevitably drawn to each other, dancing around each other, desire mistaken for distaste. Green clashing into blue, in a haze of moments Charles is being ripped right out of the calming sun. Media Duty, take pictures, smile, be nice and orderly. Most importantly, get along. Get along with Max. These are direct orders because everyone seems to think they hate each other. Charles thinks they may did once upon a time. Now he’s not quite sure what to make of it all. ____________________________________________________ “Charlie I’ve got some space for you” the words echo in Charles' head, did Max just call him Charlie, normally only Alex or maybe Lando does so rarely. Why in the world of why's does it make feel Charlie all giddy? What does Max think that he's allowed to call him Charlie? Isn’t that reserved for his closer friends? Does Max think they are friends? Sure, he's been acting as such ever since Austin, but what exactly changed? Why aren’t the forcibly nice, why does it seem like Max enjoys his company more than he used to?  And why does he immediately comply and squeeze through to Max, standing at the other side of the room? Brush of shoulders, hands clasping each other, slight shove where his back dips in. Broad smile, teeth on full display, eyes crinkling. Max is flashing him his most Maxie smile there is. Sue him if Max can call him Charlie, at least he can call him Maxie in his mind. Maybe one day he will be allowed to say it out loud, just like Daniel is.  “I thought you’d suffocate over there.” “Yeah, well I’m glad, I didn’t. Any news from Daniel, his party still standing for tonight?” “Do you really think we’d be in Vegas and Daniel would let it slip though his fingers to start the weekend of sober? He’s going to be the death of us!” “Ah no, I think we will manage quite well, you think?” At that, Max slings an arm around Charlies shoulder, slightly shakes his head in dismissal, smirks to himself and moves them after the rest of their friends that were just mingling mere seconds before. Max is leading them towards the press conference that Charles entirely forgot about once he heard Max claim “Charlie” his. ____________________________________________________

Hey! It’s the OruVil shipper! Don’t worry this ask doesn’t need to be answered but I just thought I’d let you know after all these years (I last had a major active blog in around 2011-13 WOW) I’ve actually started one and it’s thanks to you!

I’m over on WrithingDepth shooting out my twst HC’s and little one shots, I’ve yet to drop any OruVil and the blog is pretty new but I’m an older tumblr user with a full time job and nice anon lifestyle so if you guys ever just wanna hmu for a chat me and partner spend a lot of time discussing HCs and world building as well!

I’ll most likely link up the OruVil fic eventually there too.

Have a great day!

After some thinking I decided to actually post this ask for anyone who could be interested to read your work. Anything Ortho-related is so underappreciated, and after the discussion we had via asks a couple of weeks ago, I think it’s only fair to share in this specific case.

I am very excited to hear it whenever people get inspired to create unapologetically self-indulgent content. I honestly think this is one of the most important things one could do creativity-wise, and having people to share this self-indulgence with is truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us <3

I feel like you may have answered this before, but if so I can't find it. Also I'm a sloppy whore for the childhood friends to lovers pipeline SO!

Thoughts on Jack/Vil? While I agree Vil probably lost his virginity to Rook I can see these two being eachothers first Kisses (for "practice" reasons, of course) and maybe even awakenings? I love your analysises so I'm really curious about your take on these two.

HONESTLY? A GOOD PIPELINE!

We do have one post about Jack/Vil, and it’s a hc post, but it’s 8 months old oops. But I still stand by everything I’ve said there lol so you can check it out of you haven’t already.

Jack and Vil could easily be each other’s first crushes, and honestly a handsome polite boy who doesn’t even watch TV is probably the best candidate for a young star that is Vil to have a first attempt at kissing with. It would also be a nice contrast to their other first time, because even though they were on the same page when they were younger, now Vil is the more experienced one of the two, and he’s probably going to enjoy guiding Jack as they do it. Well, if Jack gets overwhelmed, horned up and feral, there won’t be much guidance going on, but in theory lol I feel like Vil is the “oneesan” type partner in this ship.

Do you have a favorite book or book series? Or maybe a top 5? What are they? ✨

Hi friend!! Thank you so much for the question <3

I have a lot of books that I really love-- in particular I'm a really big fan of travel writing and in general can get on board with almost anything that has good humor to it. Bill Bryson is my favorite author. I collect his books, actually (only second hand copies because that makes finding them in used book stores a lot more exciting)! I find it really difficult to rank my favorite books like a tier list because they're all so lovely, so I'm just going name a bunch (+ commentary) that I adore.

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (a hilarious retelling of the author's decision to hike the Appalachian Trail having basically never camped outside a day in his life. 11/10 amazing)

How to Read Houses: A Crash Course in Domestic Architecture by Will Jones (this prob sounds boring but I thought it was really cool. imo a great introduction to recognizing and appreciating architecture-- but more focused on American + European architectural history)

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green (A series of short essays about the human-centered planet--this is such a comfort book for me!)

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien (A classic, ofc! I'm actually a bigger fan of this than LOTR)

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson (I believe this book is called Down Under if you're in the UK. Fascinating journey about the author's travels in Australia!)

Right now I'm reading the Once and Future King by T.H. White and really enjoying it-- although tbh I've been reading that one for a while now because my uni semester means I don't get much time to read recreationally :(

ALSO if anyone ever wants any book recs on physics/astronomy hmu because I can definitely recommend some cool ones!

Inazuma Eleven Whiteboard but make it Red Matador

Ok. To give some context. Yesterday, tumblr user @ // marmolao opened up a public Ina11 whiteboard. It seemed pretty fun, even if I was a bit afraid at first of joining.

...But then the impulses won, and I drew Redomata's best duo :') (Plus an autism creature to warmup).

I thought Pedro and Igor would be lonely here at first, but then............... This Rafael appeared. So beautiful, I love it 😭🦇

I replied to it with some other RM defenders (?

"LOOK TONI, A VAMPIRE!!!"

"José, its the 30th time you've made vampure jokes with Rafa, leave him alone"

I left for a while, AND THEN I GOT SURPRISED WITH THIS HUGE QUERARDO ART AAAAAAA 🦁💖

"SHUT UP EVERYONE, I DON'T HEAR MY ESPAÑITA'S HYMN"

I would have put like 23091234 reaction images but the truth is I was on a hurry so I replied the best way I can. With cute animals :3

Oh btw apparently somebody wants to turn him into a furry bc of my lion doodle. If a furry Que appears by your dash, then I'm proud to be the reason why <3

In other news, I also found a doodle by @ // eky11 - @ // eky-13 about Joan. 🫡

And as somebody who is researcing about Catalunya/Valencia/Baleric Islands... I got an idea for a reply :3

"Me and the bros speaking in Catalan to confuse everyone else in the team"

...There's also this other Rafael too:

"The only one on the team who says -illo" (Andalusian dialect)

At the moment I'm queuing this, I'm making some more doodles, as I officially have the mission to draw EVERYONE from Redomata here 💪 If any other doodles appear, I'll put them on a separate post, but that's it for now.

Thank you for anyone who has filled this corner with such beautiful art!!! It makes my day so much 💕💕💕 Because the whiteboard is anonymous I cannot see who made each doodle, BUUUUT if you want to claim credit for anything here just hmu :D I'd love to mention you!

Oh, and if anyone else is interested on joining...

//It is fall and exam season all at once. Unfortunate to inform that I wouldn't be able to be online a lot of time until next month or so. It made me sad and I had my 3 hour meltdown sesh regarding this problem and I need to focus because this exam basically means life and death for me. I will be on the line at odd times so if anybody just wants to remember or talk to me sometime, don't hesitate to hmu. I'm sorry to everyone who I am being inconvenient to. I swear I would have tried to pull this together if it wasn't the timezones.

///Regarding the wedding. On the night of 27th Sept. 24. Which is Friday night, the wedding will be held, and a full ceremony post will be put up by me. All those who are the part of the wedding are free to reblog with their opinions, roles and thoughts on it. I did not find time to discuss this with @soldier-bucky-barnes and I apologise for that. I hope this request is considered and I will communicate with anyone who has any issues as and when I am able to get my device again.

Regards, Ooc Ritee.

[ickybby]

open to: anyone character: luna. bakery owner, bunny-human hybrid. big heart, big ass scaredy cat. too clueless to read the room and figure out what's good for her before it's too late plot/connections: a/b/o arranged marriage situation. y/m is CEO of a prestigious company, or head of a powerful legislative lobbying committee hell-bent on keeping divisive laws surrounding b.reeding + traditional a/b/o dynamics idk we can plot hmu. lu agrees to a staged relationship, so dedicated to the bit she's willing to have pups, sit there and look pretty or play nice with others when y/m needs them to. in return, lu just wants to run her bakery in peace and not worry about paying off the bank or changing laws screwing with her beloved business venture. this is her gambling it all. dd themes, t.oxic + t.aboo always welcome <3

"'course i know what i'm here for." the indignation is heavy, an attempt to mask her hurt and most importantly the nerves. "i-i don't have to be reminded. i just thought," what thoughts? the only thoughts front and center are about the carnal, animalistic ache between her legs and settling deep in her womb. the torturous, distracting heat cycle has left her unfocused, round eyes watery with the glimmery tears dotting curled lashes, soft perfumed skin ardent with warmth. "-thought i'd have a bit more time with the bakery before... business." bold of her to speak about business like there's any decorum on her part. like the scent of her arousal and desperation doesn't linger in the air amidst the confrontation conversation.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thought this would be fun with the end of the year!

1. How many works do you have on A03?

31.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

398,723. I'm really proud of this number tbh; never thought I'd write this much. Was hoping to hit 400k by the end of 2023 but I don't think that's gonna happen. Here's to hoping I hit half a million by this time next year!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

AA/DGS

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

You Ever Been In Love?

Things Are As They Are

On the Morality of Birds

Awkward Business

The View from the Gallery

No DGS fics. I know its a smaller fandom so it makes sense but still. 🥲 Also I swear I'll finish Awkward Business someday I'm just. So deep into Sherlock Holmes/DGS hell atm. ;A;

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I never do unless it's a specific question. I used to but then I got overwhelmed/I never knew what to say so I just stopped. That said, I read all of them and they really mean a ton to me!!!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Prob Running Late or Shoulder Pain. I'm not really good with angsty endings so I usually only keep it angsty in the shorter fics lmao.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Lololol I think most of my fics have happy endings so that's a hard one.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nope! Thankfully, I think the hate on fics trend has died down a lot since the ff.net days.

9. Do you write smut?

Hell yeah. Please read my smut I'm so proud of it. I'm also on a quest to boost the hmmk smut tag on ao3 so if y'all have any smut you wanna see for them lmk.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Nope. My dream fic of a holmesverse crossover will happen someday though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Thankfully no.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I've had a few translated to Russian and Chinese. Honestly it's insanely flattering when ppl ask to translate a fic like ough you liked my story so much you wanted to share it with others who don't speak English? It's so sweet. ;A;

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Okay so Mango and Krissey and I started an amazing pirate AU and l adore it. And someday. We will finish it. I believe in us. I'd love to co-write a fic tho so if anyone's interested please hmu I think it'd be so so fun.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Ugh. Johnlock/Hmmk or Nrmt have to be like. The only ships that made me insane enough to write multiple fics over so it's def them. I love insanely codependant relationships.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There's so many. But off the top of my head, I have a fantasy AU that Beau and I came up with that I still love a ton (Finding You) and want to finish and a Edgeworth ends up in a Gregory lives AU (In Another Life) that I'm not sure if I'll ever finish. The former is just so much work and the latter I've kinda lost the plot thread so. Ough. Sorry.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

aksfjjalsjflsjf everything else LMAO. That's why we practice!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I don't love doing it? I've done it like once for a fic where language was important but other than that I try to avoid doing it.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

....hetalia..........it was the only other fandom i wrote for before AA. This was like in 2009/2010 tho I know better now but those fics ARE still up on fanfiction.net (: It sucks b/c sometimes I wanna compare my old writing to my current writing but I'm like ough. I cannot read these old fics.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I'd have to say A Study In Gold. I genuinely love that one so much. Thinking about hmmk early days makes me insane. I also really liked On the Morality of Birds b/c it was just such a supremely stupid fic.

@anyone who sees this and writes fic please feel free to do it! I'd love to see others talk about their fics <3

[cyberm0sh]

Okay, so I saw this post being reblogged with the comment "Notice how all these groups are the same people now" (paraphrasing, they blocked me so I can't find it lol!) and I thought I'd add some of my thoughts.

I will start with this: what I'm seeing (and responding to with this post) from the people who agree with this post and reblogging it are the following sentiment(s) (NOT MY THOUGHTS):

"Trans people also are part of this list of "Bad Groups""

"OP it's wild how you've just listed the same group of people over and over again"

"Notice how all these groups are patriarchal?" (which is a fair point for the bdsm community and the geek community? though I don't see the connection with atheism. if anything, religion is pretty damn patriarchal lol)

---

Now: everything below here is what I think (making this very clear because i would rather die than have someone believe that I agree with any of the opinions above!!)

---

The inclusion of “atheists” in the list of “Groups That Are Bad” made me rethink what this post was saying. I will start this by saying that I don’t disagree with some points, I think there are definitely some issues with abuse in the BDSM community, raging misogyny in geek circles and some weird “who cares about those guys, they believe in religion, so they are stupid!” ideas in atheist communities.

However, the reduction of “evilness” to a few arbitrary, easily identifiable traits is a very slippery slope! It’s been used time and time again to turn people against marginalized groups in a way that is sneaky and often unnoticed by the majority of people. I’ve noticed a lot of activism becoming dangerously close to extremism and it hurts my heart because so many of these talking points are just so far removed from reality that it becomes impossible to see things otherwise.

Some examples of this technique being used are:

The War on Drugs! amazing post here: https://www.tumblr.com/cyberdank/715360225623965696/kailthia-flipocrite-flipocrite-luvrly?source=share

This amazing essay by Rayne Fisher-Quann where she talks about the myth of the “perfect abuse victim” and how the credibility of women is a fragile thing: https://open.substack.com/pub/internetprincess/p/whos-afraid-of-amber-heard?r=1qt2yq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

United States politics! Second Thought has some AMAZING videos about the US’s hatred of socialism, think "All Socialist Countries Fail" -style. More on that here: https://youtu.be/mwyjlmEAcYM

Also from Second Thought: How Capitalism Destroys Radical Movements: https://youtu.be/7ucF2IeJTfE (if anyone wants more Second Thought video recs on any topic hmu <3)

Oh hey! Florida's slippery slope from defining drag in public as a crime against children to allowing the death penalty for CSA, to allowing the death penalty without a unanimous vote! more on that here!: https://www.tumblr.com/the-wannabe-hero/715605171253772288/emptymanuscript-wilwheaton-republicans-are?source=share

Often, it just comes down to asking yourself “what would this overgeneralization lead to” and “what groups would agree with overgeneralizing the collective “evilness” of these groups, and why?” Who would benefit from lumping these groups together and branding them as evil? In these cases (and keep in mind that these are also over-generalizations! I’m just trying to paint a picture of potential things going on!), there’s something particularly weird about saying that groups who are:

Sex positive (generally a left-leaning idea),

Polyamorous (usually LGBTQ+ since, if you’re three or more there has to be at least one person of either the same gender or differing gender identities in the polycule),

Geeks (weird unconventional interests, high amount of neurodiverse people due to special interests, maybe?)

And atheist (don’t believe in god)

And if i'm including the recent addition of trans people to this list... trans people..

are one and the same and Undeniably Morally Evil. Particularly because the opposite of all these traits is someone who is:

Not sex positive

Straight (and cis)

Has conventional interests, possibly with less chances of being neurodiverse

And religious, usually Christian in the context of the general western world.

So now you have people saying "those who are not like Us are Bad! Don't think twice about what it means for people who are just one of these traits.. because they're all the Same!"

I am just saying that it’s important to examine where these over-generalizations come from and who they could be harming, as well as who is agreeing with the overgeneralization because they KNOW who it’s harming. That is all!!

lil shoutout to some people who said it before me but said it very well!

soyboybitches

(waiting for a reply for the 2nd person cause i don't wanna link them to my post without their consent!)

If I’ve learnt anything from my contact with the bdsm community, the poly community, the geek community and the atheist community is that any social group who claims to “not to be like other groups” and to be"accepting and safe for all" is going to spend a lot of energy hiding the predators within the community and silencing abuse survivors.

Mental health vent below. CW for abuse, mental health issues, sexual abuse, manipulation, and stream of consciousness writing with little concern for grammar.

If anyone actually reads this idk like if you experience similar stuf can u mayb hmu. It's 3:30am and I can't sleep so I'm just gonna rant

I have issues with how I view ppl like when I meet someone or like someone's art they'll be fucking perfect then the second they do something I slightly dislike they instantly become all bad in my brain and I like have to fight that base instinct to have a fucking normal perspective on people and it's fucking annoying

I'm p sure that's a borderline tendency or maybe it's just normal and I'm over critical of my mind. I have a weird history with borderline tho bc the person who abused and raped me tried to like gaslight me into believing I had serious borderline issues to make me feel less competent and like manipulate me more or some shit so like if I actually do have borderline tendencies I don't know how to deal with it's just colored horribly by that. And I guess also mixing with ptsd from that.

I feel horrific imposter syndrome for my own mental health too. Like I have a hard time saying I have post traumatic stress even though if I see or think certain triggering things I flash back to how I felt in those moments and fall apart with anxiety and have to re center myself and I basically have been made asexual bc the thought of sex fucking terrifies me. And it fucking hurts me too bc I get tense when I see people who look like her and those are just innocent normal people and I'm internally freaking out around them just bc they look like the woman who tried to break me what am I supposed to do abt that.

I like feel generally mentally healthier now on a base level, like I've got my meds, I'm productive, im doing things I love but I still feel like im one tiny mistake away from burning all my friendships over an idiotic impulse or running away for no reason. Like someone will just say something mild I disagree on and I'll fucking suddenly want to fucking despise them over it and I don't want to do that I love them they're great ppl I can't take that why is my mind like that.

I want to say I want the me I was before she hurt me back but that me was horrifically mentally unhealthy in other ways. I want the me who's figured this shit out. I want the me who doesn't want to hurt people. I want the me that doesnt eventually clash with people and make things falls apart. I want the me who's at least decently sure of myself and has any self esteem at all. I want the me who can finish any art ever.

I can't keep going with so little. I'm not suicidal. I'm about as far from that as I've ever been. But despite my happiness I have the overwhelming constant deafening background noise telling me that I don't deserve it, that I'm not worth anything, that I shouldn't be happy. And I hate that. Fuck

Sorry.

+3 wanted connections added under the cut

1. [EMMA VANITY || ADELINE RUDOLPH] is awaiting the arrival of their [SIBLING]. If you happen to see them, they are around [UTP] years old and look strikingly similar to [ANY FITTING FC (KOREAN/WHITE)] and happen to be from [HARRY POTTER]. If you see them, you [DO] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [hello !! some quick information, since i want this to be left open for your own thoughts as well!! emma only has one sibling, and there was always an intense rivalry placed between them by their parents. they are not close siblings. emma had done everything she could to be the favorite, wanting to be the apple of their parents eyes, between becoming the youngest quidditch captain, accepting whatever betrothal they set forward, her loyalty to the death eaters, etc. your take could be either like exact opposite of her, or maybe they’re too similar to get along. really it’s up to you and i want there to be enough creative liberty! please just message me so we can talk about it and so we’re on the same page before applying!! i do prefer talking on discord so hmu at “ tired mom™#6101 ” ( ‘pour a coke out for carrie’ in the gen chat discord if that’s easier to find me )  ].

2. [EMMA VANITY || ADELINE RUDOLPH] is awaiting the arrival of their [BETROTHED]. If you happen to see them, they are around [UTP] years old and look strikingly similar to [UTP/MASC. PRESENTING] and happen to be from [HARRY POTTER]. If you see them, you [DO] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [we love an arranged marriage for the vibes. i think this is just a fun dynamic to play out ?? like emma is v gay so she would have never been into this for anything other than her parents approval. she wasn’t shy about that either, her betrothed would be fully aware of that!! this would be someone in the death eaters most likely, could be a canon character. this is another connection that i would really want to talk about before jumping into it with anyone !! i do prefer talking on discord so hmu at “ tired mom™#6101 ” ( ‘pour a coke out for carrie’ in the gen chat discord if that’s easier to find me ) ].

3. [ROWENA RAVENCLAW || ADELAIDE KANE] is awaiting the arrival of their [EX HUSBAND/DAUGHTER’S FATHER]. If you happen to see them, they are around [THIRTY+] years old and look strikingly similar to [ANY FITTING MASC. PRESENTING FC (WHITE)] and happen to be from [HARRY POTTER]. If you see them, you [DO] have to contact them. We hope they find them soon. [this would be the father of her daughter helena, played currently by jodie. but he was not around during her life, i am open to however you wanna say he left the picture, either death, leaving, break up, etc. that part is v much up to you !! the biggest thing is that this was sort of a marriage out of convenience, i am thinking that rowena got pregnant before they were wed, and bc ya know, 11th century, that was an immediate marriage. im happy to have this be some drama and see what we can come up with, but i think it would be interesting to have him here all these years later now that helena is grown and rowena has raised her alone. happy to work out dynamics and everything together!! but disclaimer, this would not be an active ship! rowena is involved with someone at the moment, so this would stay an ex! i do prefer talking on discord so hmu at “ tired mom™#6101 ” ( ‘pour a coke out for carrie’ in the gen chat discord if that’s easier to find me ) ].

[gaydryad]

tag game from @sourb0i :0 probably the first I’ve done since... 2015

1. Are you named after anyone?

lmao nope! and I like that for me just fine

2. When was the last time you cried?

hrm. last week I think. sometimes you just need to do exegesis on your own feelings and have an ugly cry. it happens

3. Do you have kids?

not on the physical plane

4. Do you use sarcasm?

what kind of person would do something like that? gosh. what a scandal. using sarcasm so publicly on the No Reading Comprehension site

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

6. What's your eye color?

brown, babey

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I can’t stand most “scary movies”, personally -- I’m absolutely terrible with jump scares and visceral gore (gore itself is fine, but the point where you have to See someone getting tortured / bleed is Eughhh... I just end up feeling it on my own body like a shitty version of Parable of the Sower and it’s just not fun). 

that said I DO love a good tragedy or thriller, and psychological horror is like candy to me. maybe even more so than I enjoy a good happy ending. though mr jordan peele has spoiled my tastes in this with his movies that are both Scary As Hell but also have “happy” endings, which is to say, my preference is when a movie is Both. but I also just enjoy a good happy ending, so. yeah.

8. Any special talents?

my joke answer here is “how incredibly bad my memory is”, but my slightly better answer, based on how other people react, is my ability to steer / bike without using handlebars and balancing stuff. I have proprioception 100

9. Where were you born?

alexandria, va. almost a capitol baby but not quite

10. What are your hobbies?

currently, mostly drawing and reading, but I also like snorkeling, biking, and cooking. also enjoy video & board games a lot

11. Do you have any pets?

not at the moment. I wish.

12. What sports do you/have you played?

Uhhhhh well if I were still in high school I would jokingly say “marching band” here but in all honesty none. I love volleyball casually though

13. How tall are you?

5′7

14. Favorite subject in school?

Middle/high school: history class! I would hyperfixate so hard

Uni/college: religious studies! I!! love!! gloria anzaldua!! also religious studies let me engage in my favorite hobby: thinking about Death

15. Dream job?

Literary publishing editor or small press editor (not as a literary agent or “editor” in that sense, but as an in-house copyeditor and proofreader for a publishing house). sadly I do not live in nyc, the one city where those jobs are offered, so instead I am simply. a freelance editor. hmu. I can do varying types of editing and can give input as an ex-reader for literary magazines. this is not a joke.

thanks for tagging me! will likewise tag @captain-lovelace and @necrokris if you would like to join in

HOGWARTS AU ANYONE???

okok like tell me ur thoughts (no promises im actually gonna make them tho id be so happy if i did actually get some replies)

ik there are very typical depictions of nct dream as hogwarts houses and theyre usually the same: jeno gryff, renjun ravn, haechan slytherin, and jaemin hufflepuff

however, i really wanted to stray from those, although they are pretty accurate, and create a new vision for them

—

slytherin jeno- with his passionate addiction to fire whiskey and hatred for broomsticks, he’s the perfect partner for your class project (not!). the very same transfiguration assignment requiring materials from both a broom store and a liquor store; what could go wrong? with that look he keeps giving you, you feel like you know the answer.

gryffindor jaemin- he’s a hothead. not only in the sense that he’s hot and loves receiving head, but also because he gets angry. very, very angry. so when his flirty best friend is found making out with the schools resident fuckboy, he gets mad. so mad, in fact, that you figure out exactly why he’s so protective over you- and it’s not just because you’re his best friend.

ravenclaw renjun- he’s not the typical take on a ravenclaw. in fact, he pales in comparison to the rest. his motivation to learn, to study, to put in effort, has completely diminished, and now, all the boy cares about is his place on the quidditch team. that, plus the muffilato spell- oh, and the girl who speeds at him during every opposing quidditch match, purely because she knows she can. yeah, he cares about that girl too.

hufflepuff haechan- he’s a ray of sunshine. so illuminating and warm and soft, and he gives you all of those fuzzy feelings you can’t find anywhere else. kissing him is like kissing a solar flare; bright and overwhelming and oh-so addicting. one thing you’ve noticed, however, is how his sunlight is slowly beginning to diminish. after all, the sun eventually must give way to the moon- and from there, darkness ensues.

if you like any of these ideas or want to fantasize over more house/member combinations, hmu! my asks are one tap away <3

and im lonely
