Life Changer

From: @christopher-chowder-chow (it’s a sideblog idk why i can’t submit from it but oh well)

To: @beercheesecasserole

Content warnings: small mentions of anxiety

Fic tags: interns AU, first kiss, domestic, mentions of anxiety

A message to the recipient: I had a lot of fun writing this for you! I’ve never written a fic for another person before, so I really hope you enjoy it! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Derek Nurse was Nervous. It was his first day with the publishing company he was interning at this summer, and he had no idea how to do this. He didn’t know how to be a real person. What was he thinking? He should just go back to his apartment and-

His phone went off. He pulled it out of his pocket, looked at it, and smiled. On the lockscreen sat a text from Shitty. It read “you got this” followed by a few different heart emojis. Sometimes he swore his best friend was psychic. Derek took a deep breath in, then exhaled slowly. He looked up at the large brick building in front of him once more, then went inside before it could intimidate him again.

“Excuse me?” Derek asked, approaching the front desk.

The woman behind it smiled at him. “Ah, Mr. Nurse! Happy first day.”

Derek blinked at her. “Thank you. Um, I’m sorry, I don’t…” he began, but the woman and her cheer cut him off.

“No, it’s alright. I don’t think we met when you came in for your interview. I just remember your face from making up your ID badge.” the woman, Shelly, he knew now from glancing at her nametag, explained as she dug around in one of her desk drawers. After a moment she handed Derek the aforementioned ID.

“I get an ID?” Derek whispered before he could stop himself.

He felt himself blush, but Shelly only smiled wider. “You do! You’ve got to wear it at all times in the building for security reasons, so make sure you always have it visible.” she told him. Shelly clicked around on her computer for a moment before adding “You should head up to the third floor and go to room 10. They’ll be expecting you.”

“Thank you, Shelly.” Derek smiled. Her mood had done wonders for his own, and he was grateful for it.

“You’re welcome. Have a good day!”

As he rode the elevator to the third floor, Derek focused on Shelly. Thinking of her positive energy and how kind and helpful she was instead of his nerves was a good distraction for him. The third floor came quickly, and he was thrilled to find that room 10 was easy to locate. The last thing he needed was getting lost on his first day.

When he entered room 10, all thoughts of Shelly and her positivity vanished. The room was large, but most of its space was taken up by desks and people that looked close to his age. Everyone was consumed in various stages of work, so much so that no one even spared him a glance. Shelly had said they would be expecting him, but it didn’t seem like it.

Derek took a breath, put a calm smile on his face, and headed for the only empty desk in the room. He stood by it for a moment, making sure that there weren’t personal items on the desk claiming it as someone else’s. There wasn’t. He sat down and took his computer out of his bag, figuring he might as well get set up and ready to work.

The girl at the desk beside his smiled over at him. “Hey,” she greeted, rolling her chair over a little. “You’re going to have to go over to IT to get that hooked up to the WiFi and stuff.” the girl said.

Derek nodded. “That’s for the best. I’m so bad with technology.” The girl laughed. “Is there anything I should do before that? Someone I should report to or something?”

“No, the intern manager comes in at nine every morning and she’ll get you settled then.” the girl explained. “You should have your computer set up before then, though. IT is just down the hall, 315.”

Derek thanked her and headed over to 315, computer in hand. The room looked empty, though.

“Hello?” Derek asked. “Anybody here?”

A small bang. A grunt. A swear. A hand grabbing the side of a desk.

“Are you okay?” Derek asked, heading over to the desk. There he found a man, half on the floor, half off, pulling himself up with the hand he’d placed on the desk.

“I’m fine. You just startled me. Nobody usually comes in this early.” The ginger man explained, taking Derek’s extended hand to help him stand up the rest of the way.

“I’m so sorry.” Derek frowned as the man put a hand to his head, likely checking for a bump.

“S’alright. Anyway, what did you need?” The man asked, finally looked at Derek fully. His eyes were the most stunning color Derek had ever seen, and he wished he could go back in time so he could write last semester’s poetry project on this man’s eyes instead of whatever bullshit focus he had picked before he’d seen real beauty.

Derek realized he was staring, and probably blushing, and he’d been quiet for way too long. Luckily, the man didn’t seem to care. He reached for Derek’s ID, looked down at it, and nodded. “First day, Nurse?” Derek nodded dumbly. The man let Derek’s ID flop back against his shirt. “Can I see your computer?” Derek handed it to him without a second thought.

“Type in your password,” the man said. Derek did. He felt like a robot, but he knew if he actually spoke, he’d say something dumb about how the man’s honey eyes were brighter than Derek’s entire fucking future and somehow that didn’t seem like a good first impression. The man was clicking around on Derek’s computer, and typing, and the muscles in his forearms moved in a way that was somehow impossibly strong and overwhelmingly delicate all at once.

Derek didn’t believe in love at first sight, but now he was doubting that. Maybe you could just fall in love with someone’s eyes and arms? That made sense.

“You’re all set.” The man said, yanking Derek from the sonnets swirling in his brain. “Just don’t delete this, at least until you’re done working here. It’s how you stay logged on.” He explained, pointing to an icon of something he must have downloaded on Derek’s desktop.

“Thank you…” Derek trailed off, trying to read the man’s ID.

It was the man’s turn to blush. “Oh, sorry. Will Poindexter.” he said, extending his hand for Derek to shake. Derek smiled and shook it. “If you need any more help, I’m your guy.”

“Thanks, Will.” Derek said. Will grinned.

Derek turned to leave, but Will’s voice stopped him. “Derek?”

He turned back to face Will.

“You don’t have to be nervous. Wellie’s doesn’t take on people they don’t think can do the job.” His face was still a little red. Or maybe it was red again- Derek couldn’t tell.

“Thank you.”

The rest of Derek’s first day went by in a blur. He met his boss, and some of his fellow interns, and started his first project. It was terrifying and exciting and everything he’d hoped it would be. At the end of the work day, Will was in the elevator with him on the way down to the lobby. He’d even asked him about his day.

It was going to be a good summer.

Derek wasn’t doing it on purpose. His first day he’d said he was bad with technology, and that was in no way an exaggeration- and that was why he had to go to room 315 at least once a week. The fact that one of the IT guys was just about the hottest person Derek had ever seen was a total coincidence.

Usually, when Derek went to the tech room, he found Will’s eyebrows knit tight, frustration evident on his face. Despite that, he was always kind and patient with Derek. Well, sort of.

“Remind me again how you did this?” Will asked incredulously, clicking around on Derek’s computer.

Derek’s ears were burning with embarrassment. “I don’t know! It just froze. Isn’t that a thing? Computers just freeze sometimes without any fault of their owners?”

Will laughed, and Derek’s grin was immediate. By this point, it was an automatic thing. Even if he was just walking by 315 and heard Will laughing, the same goofy smile would spread across Derek’s face. He knew he was in deep, but he couldn’t help it.

The girl who sat beside Derek, Caitlin, smirked at him when he returned.

“How’s Will?” she asked.

Derek’s eyes widened. “Seems fine. Managed to fix my computer yet again.” He said, opening it on his desk and hoping that looking focused on work would keep Caitlin from further questioning.

It didn’t.

She rolled her chair over beside his, bumping right into him, smirk still mischievous as ever. “When are you going to finally ask him out?”

Derek balked at her. “Are you kidding?”

“Come on, it’s been a month. Will is only here until early August. You’re wasting precious office romance time.” Caitlin complained.

“Isn’t that not allowed, though?” he’d thought it wasn’t. That was why he’d been sticking to his IT visits as his only interactions with Will. He’d known he couldn’t handle them hanging out as friends when he wanted so much more.

Caitlin rolled her eyes. “You watch too much television. For full employees it’s a little different, but as interns you just have to keep it out of the office and they don’t care what you do.”

Derek grinned. “Do you think he’s interested?”

“I’ve seen you two talk in the elevator. He definitely is.”

That day when Derek finished his work, he said goodbye to Caitlin and headed to room 315.

Will was typing away on a computer when Derek knocked on the doorframe. He glanced up, smiled, and continued typing. Derek was always impressed by how Will could be focused on more than one thing at a time. “Hey man,” Will greeted.

“Hey. You finishing up soon?”

Will looked at his computer screen, then back at Derek. “Yeah, I’ve just got to send this report and then I’m out.”

“Any plans for tonight?”

Will was typing again, but he paused to laugh at that. “Why, need me to make a house call?”

Derek grinned. “Actually, I was thinking I could make you dinner. But now that you mention it, my stereo hasn’t been working right lately.”

Will laughed again, but then abruptly stopped typing and blinked up at Derek. Derek’s breath caught in his throat.

“You wanted to make me dinner?” Will asked. The tips of his ears were beginning to go pink.

Derek nodded, not trusting his voice.

“Like… a date?”

“Not like a date. An actual date.” Derek clarified.

He could see the cogs in Will’s brain turning. The blush from his ears was spreading to his face. He looked overwhelmed, and Derek slid on his calm smile. “Chill, man. Forget I said anything.”

“Don’t tell me to chill.” Will said, and it was Derek’s turn to be surprised. Even more so as he watched a smile spread across Will’s face. “I’m allowed to be un-chill when the guy I’ve had a crush on for a month wants to cook me dinner. Don’t you think?”

Derek was floored. Somehow, while he’d spent the past month crushing hard on Will, the other man had been doing the same to him? He couldn’t believe it. Shit like that only happened in movies.

“Yeah, that’s definitely a good reason to be un-chill.” he decided.

Will visibly relaxed, though his blush didn’t fade. He clicked at his computer some more, then Derek heard the shut down noise, and went to grab Will’s coat from the hanger across the room while he gathered his things.

“Am I doing this right?” Will asked.

Derek came up behind him and peeked into the pan. “You’ve got to make sure you’re scraping the bottom so nothing sticks. Here, like this.” Derek took Will’s hand in his and showed him how to stir the cheese just right.

“You know,” Will began, “When you said dinner, fondue isn’t exactly what I expected.”

Derek chuckled. “When I asked to make you dinner a yes isn’t exactly what I expected.”

Will turned his head so he could look at Derek, who grinned at him. Derek wasn’t sure who leaned in first, but their lips met and Derek would have stayed that way forever if the cheese on the stove wouldn’t have burnt. When he pulled away, Will opened his mouth to speak, but Derek kissed him again quickly.

“Shhh, stirring requires intense concentration.” Derek insisted before letting go of Will’s hand. Will rolled his eyes, but Derek could tell from where he stood chopping the carrots that he was devoting a lot of attention to the cheese.

When everything was finally ready, Will frowned at Derek from his seat across the table. “Are you not going to feed me?” he asked.

Derek’s jaw practically dropped. “Um,” was all he managed.

“Isn’t that how fondue works?” Will continued.

“Sorry, uh. Do you want me to…” Derek tried, but before he could form a coherent sentence, Will was laughing that booming laugh of his. Derek, relieved, joined in.

“Oh my god. Would you really have-?” Will couldn’t stop laughing, and Derek loved every second of it.

“Shut up, our cheese is getting cold.” Derek rolled his eyes.

Derek watched as Will dug into his first bite of broccoli dipped in cheese.

“Derek, this is so fucking good.” Will praised, even though it had been him that had essentially made the fondue.

“I told you. It’s a life changer.”

“You’re a life changer.”

They were silent for a moment, both surprised. When Derek met Will’s eyes, they fell into another fit of laughter.

tagged by: @airiat

rules: answer the questions and then tag 20 people

name: Jagat

nicknames: my actual name is hella hard for white people to pronounce, which is kind of dumb, since I’m also white people. so I usually go by James. It’s easier to deflect “are you trans” questions (since it’s a male name and I am very female presenting) than to deflect “how do you spell it? oh, so it’s pronounced ___? no? can I call you jag? lol ur name is so weird”

zodiac sign(s): leo. hear me roar.

gender: Female

sexuality: bisexual

favorite color: red, gold, black. oops- that’s three. They look nice together.

time right now: 8:44 AM

average hours of sleep: Six, seven? I go to bed way too late and the morning sun comes right in through my window.

the last thing i googled: kheer (Indian dessert, I was trying to figure out what to order for dinner)

number of blankets: I live in Arizona. A thin sheet is about all I can stand in the summer. (In the winter, I have enough stuffed animals that I don’t need blankets.)

favorite fictional character: ehh... Probably Sheogorath. He’s just fun. Or Trainer, from the game Closers, because he is a giant tragic puppy and I am a sucker for actual redemption arcs.

what are you wearing right now: giant FIRST robotics T-shirt. I am a size small, but I got to the event late,and they only had X-large shirts. It’s basically a nightgown on me.

favorite book: Kings Rising, the third of the Captive Prince trilogy. It’s- it’s a ride.

favorite musician: Aviators. He’s great, and I love seeing indie artists grow.

dream job: cash money something without stress? I’m going to school for computer science/software development, let’s see where that leads.

number of followers: 766. Could have sworn I had more at some point.

when did you create your account: my archive says it was in March 2014, and I just went through my first five posts and cringed.

what do you post about: I used to do a lot of Elsword fic. I still do that, but I don’t post it here - sorry, y’all, AUs have taken me because the actual game got really shit. My sideblog @azuraspect has all my Elder Scrolls OCs, and my other sideblog @cursivescrawl has all my actual OC OCs. My main blog is mostly shitposting/activism reblogs.

what made you get an account: //covers face in shame The Marvel fandom. Specifically, the Loki branch of the Marvel fandom. Go ahead. Laugh. I would too if I weren’t so embarrassed at it.

when did your blog reach its peak: Probably during the height of my Elsword fic days - so, 2016 or so? The 100 Themes challenge was wack.

do you get asks on a daily basis: not for this blog, but I ran like three imagines blogs so I know the feel of being overwhelmed by asks

why did you choose your url: My first url was ‘tricksterflame’ because oh dear god it was the screen name of an OC in a Loki fanfic. I wish I was joking. Then I fell into Elsword hell, and started maining the character Blazing Heart - and ‘blazingsnark’ seemed an appropriate pun. It stuck.

tagging:@rainsonata @dontthinkaboutthehole @tessaigaa @lilyanne-mare once again I find I do *not* know twenty people, so if you’d like to do this... consider yourself Tagged

We interrupt Absolute Hope’s Birthday to bring you a post that’s probably going to get waay too long and sentimental.

Precisely one year ago today, I looked at a certain Hope Dope’s wiki page, realised it was his birthday, and gushed about it to a friend. I jokingly sent them a few sprites along with dialogue Nagito would totally be using in that situation, realised I liked it, made a sideblog that I planned to leave untouched for a period of time until I was sure I wanted a new muse, and...opened it by day’s end because I have no self-control. Eventually, that sideblog was remade into the mess you know and tolerate today. I was nervous and a little anxious, because I’d had some very bad experiences in other RP circles, but in the past year, I’ve actually fallen into this incredibly positive and wonderful group of talented people who have encouraged me to become better as a writer and a mun; so I figure, why not mark the date by celebrating those people? Please note, this isn’t a follow forever. I’m always too trepidatious to do those, because I always feel like I’m going to leave someone out. Think of this as a callout post of the very best kind. Without you amazing people, this blog would not be.

--In no particular order, of course; and some of you may get mentioned by more than one account. Some of you, I may not be able to mention by name. But just know, everyone here, called out directly or indirectly, has influenced this blog in a wonderful way!

@ask-thebrothers-kaiba: without whom I may never have had the courage to step back into canon character rp. Without knowing anything about Komaeda or the fandom, this angel gave me the encouragement I needed, just because I needed it. And they’re still one of the best friends I’ve ever made on this hellsite. Not to mention a Top Quality writer and artist.

@fxshionable-mxsks: believe it or not, you were the very first person I threaded with. First, and still a favourite. Thank you for the warm welcome.

@lxckyinsxnity, @komacda, @fortunefucked, @nagitc, & all my other Ko mutuals and multimuses: here’s to people who love our boy as much as I do. Thank you for thinking of ways to tackle him I never could, and inspiring me to keep being creative.

@rxg-txg, @the-taboo-king, @theholylight, @soaringpilot-and-littlewing, @pxlotspeaking, @diviisus, @ishcni: all people I arguably thread or plot with the most right now. Without exception, a gifted group of creative writers. I adore each and every one of you for what you bring to this blog in character, but also out of character, too. You’re all amazing, amazing people who make me feel warm and welcome.

@ahogedetective, @burdenedname, @kisstheshslcook, @luminaryblood, @nonludum, @robot-fxcker, @springslain, @theliarandtheultimate, @ultimctepoet, @x-hopelesshope-x: I have either active or semi-active threads with each of these people, and while you may not necessarily be my most common partners - in fact, some of you are very new to me - I do adore everything we have going. I know the word ‘talent’ gets thrown around a lot ‘round these parts, but these people have oodles to spare.

---A moment for all my past partners, who I don’t have anything with right now; hit me up, you guys. There’s too many to tag, but sometimes I like going back and reading over old things, just because it’s a lot of fun.

@sammibr0, @jaycesrpmainaccount, @kikothepianist, @theiicarus, @ru-kitty-chu, @katherine-sagami, @fierabreeze, @hazuukashi, @entwinedthreads, @ultimatetalentless, @shslbaby-yakuza, @hckerman: All amazing people, who don’t 100% fit into the categories above. Whether you’re here because I bounce a lot of stuff off you, because I’ve noticed your name in my notes a lot, because we’re always IM-ing back and forth, because we thread on occasion and I adore your portrayal, because your work is just hecking awesome and inspires me to step up my game, because you make me smile, because you’ve been a really great friend to me, or any combination thereof; you should know my blog would not have turned out the same without you guys.

I kind of can’t tag these people, but all the anons who have left ideas that have spiraled out of control into entire plots and AUs of their own.

And finally, here’s one for everybody who’s ever contributed to my time here in any way. Everyone who’s ever threaded or plotted with me; dropped me something in my IMs, tagged me in stuff, spammed my notes, stalked me from afar or anear; anyone, without whom, my time here would be different in any way shape or form. If you’re reading this and thinking, “that doesn’t include me” -- it 100% does. I can’t tag absolutely everyone who’s ever touched my experience here in any way, but I hope I can make it clear how much I appreciate all of you. I’ve made no secret of the love I have for what this kind of communication between people can do. When people crate, whether their work is objectively “good” or “bad”; they do something in a way only they can do. They bring what only their one-of-a-kind selves can bring. That makes every word and every line precious. What the way things are written and interpreted creates is a moment that never can and never will be seen again. That’s an incredible thing to share between people, from all around the world, all with different lives and backgrounds. So, thank you to everybody for making this blog worth logging onto almost every day for the past 365. I can’t wait to see what the next year brings!

#(i hope to heck i haven't missed anyone o:#there are so many people who have been a part of the last year it's easy to lose track of even some of the best)#ɪ ᴡᴀs ᴊᴜsᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴏғ ᴀɴ ɪɴɴᴇʀ ᴍᴏɴᴏʟᴏɢᴜᴇ [mun speaks]#anniversary post

Other End of the Line - Damien x MC

Summary: After the late night search with Nadia, Kai feels scared and alone, so turns to the only person they know will be on their side— Damien.

Pairing: I wrote this as Damien/MC (I used the generic name, Kai, and no pronouns) but this could technically still be Gen

Warnings: some strong language I guess?

Word Count: 1,626 oops!

Author’s Notes: Ahh! This is the first time in 6 years I’ve posted any writing online and the first time ever on Tumblr! I couldn’t get this out of my head, and it’s part of the reason I made this sideblog haha. Even though I’m drakewalkerstan, I still LOVE Damien, so this was born!

"Hello?" Damien blearily answered his phone, half-awake and blinded by the glare of the screen.

"Damien," he heard Kai hiss on the other end. "Shit, Damien, help..."

Damien was now wide awake, he sat up in his bed and switched on the lamp on his bedside table, jamming the phone against his ear nervously.

"Kai, are you okay? What's going on?"

"I... I sound fucking crazy. I think... I think Hayden's a robot. Steve too. I swear to god, Damien, please."

"Okay, what happened," Damien asked. He was half afraid that Kai was on something right now, but he didn't want to laugh the call off just in case. Kai was silent for a moment, concentrating on the sound of Damien’s breathing on the other end in order to calm down.

"Okay, I don't know if Nadia told you, but we were in a car crash an-"

Damien’s heart stuttered for a moment, then raced back to action double-time.

"WHAT? Okay, hold up! A car crash? Are you okay? Jesus, Kai, oh my god!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, we're all okay."

"Thank god,” Damien mumbled under his breath, his eyes squeezed shut in relief. “What happened?"

"We were driving back from the waterfall- Nadia, Steve, Hayden and I- and a deer jumped in front of the car, so Steve swerved and we crashed."

"Oh my god..."

"I’m fine, but... but Hayden tore open the car door and pulled me out."

There was a moment of complete silence, and Damien could only hear the sound of Kai's soft breathing on the other end of the line.

"What?"

"Yeah. I came to and I tried to get out of the car, but the door was totally smashed up and I just couldn't open it. Hayden was able to pry the car door open and get me out of the car. Nadia said it was adrenaline, but..."

"No, yeah, that's weird."

"Plus I asked about it, and Hayden has no memory of it because of a concussion."

Damien turns over this information in his head, but no matter how he approaches it he can’t think up a logical explanation for the insane feat of strength. Kai, silent for a moment, can almost hear the gears in his mind turning on the other end of the line.

"Okay," Kai begins, "other weird things: the fact that Steve has no memory of how to get around his town?"

"Huh?"

"We asked him to take us to the local waterfall where he used to hang out as a teen and he had absolutely no idea where to find it- he was barely able to comment on anything unless we prompted him."

"What do you mean prompting?"

"Okay, so originally Steve just talked about the tourist attractions in town, and didn't even bring up the waterfall until Nadia mentioned that someone told her about it. And then he didn't know how to find it- even though he said he'd been there a few times- until Nadia had to remind him again."

"Kai, it was a while ago, maybe he honestly forgot about it."

"Okay, get this, we visited his house today and he was acting super weird."

Damien, though now more skeptical about the conspiracy theory, opens his mind once again to Kai.

"Weird how?"

Kai takes a deep breath and tries to recollect exactly what was so unnerving about what happened in that little farmhouse.

"When we got there, his dad Robert was joking around about how he was a rascally kid and he used to ride his horse Moonlight. Steve laughed and told his dad to stop messing with us, and he honestly didn't remember that he'd ever mentioned- or even had- a horse named Moonlight!"

Kai waited for any sort of reaction, but was once again met by Damien's silence.

"Okay," Kai snarked.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking," Damien murmured. "Wasn't he concussed?"

"If he was, he didn’t mention it. I don't think that's how concussions work though!"

"Hmm, okay. Is there anything else?"

"So his dad went to the kitchen and Steve showed us a picture of him as a teenager at a football game. When Robert got back-"

"Is Robert Steve's dad?"

"Yeah, sorry." Kai said. "So Robert walks back in and sees us with the picture and gets really mad. He calls Steve into the kitchen with him, so I eavesdrop-”

“That’s my Kai,” Damien interjected proudly. Kai could hear the grin in his voice, and chuckled for a moment before continuing on. In fact, while Kai was deciding whether or not to listen in on the conversation, Damien was a key factor in motivating the eavesdropping, but that’s definitely something Damien would get cocky about, so there’s no way he’s being told that.

“Robert is really mad at Steve for showing us this picture. He tells Steve, and I quote, ‘Our personal lives are our business.’ This is apparently a regular occurrence between the two of them, too.”

“That’s strange, I’ll grant you that, but maybe Robert is really private, or senile or something,” Damien said

Despite everything, Kai snorted at the suggestion.

“I doubt he’s senile, but it gets worse. Okay, fast forward to like an hour or two ago. We are all in the bed and breakfast and I wake up and hear Nadia shouting. Steve’s fucking gone.”

“WHAT? He left?”

Damien is filled with righteous anger on behalf of his friend and it makes Kai feel stupidly warm inside. Even though, both Kai and Nadia know that their friend is a little standoffish and cynical, but any show of caring from him never fails to put a goofy smile on Kai’s face.

“His suitcase is gone,” Kai continues, ignoring Damien’s outburst, “and neither Robert nor Steve are picking up their phones. Hayden calls the police then instructs us to stay in the bed and breakfast instead of joining the search, which…is weird?”

“Kind of, yeah. Hayden insisted you stay in the room instead of all searching together?”

“Yeah! Before even trying to call Robert or the police, it was just ‘I’ll search all of Cedar Rest, I won’t stop until I find him.’ So then Nadia and I say ‘Fuck it,’ and we decide to go searching too. We head out to the waterfall, and we decide to split up-”

“Dumb.”

“-to search for clues. It’s a dinky old town, what’s dangerous about splitting up?”

“...Robots?”

“Shut up. So I find the picture that Steve showed us, which for the record is of him and his dad standing together at a football game. He also doesn’t look any younger than he does now, but whatever. You know what I notice?”

Kai waits for Damien to chime in with a ‘What?’ but he is silent.

“Okay… The matchmaker from Eros is IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE PHOTO.”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Positive! This is the exact same lady, sitting in the crowd at the football game, like… at least 5 years before he’s even supposed to be connected with Eros!”

Damien is, again, completely silent, but Kai can tell that he’s thinking about the new information. On the other end of the line, Damien runs his hand over his face, trying to think of any logical explanation of this connection, but his mind is blank.

“Yeah, that’s fishy. I believe you, something’s not right there,” Damien concedes.

“So I showed Nadia the picture, and when we came back to the bed and breakfast, I found a goodbye note from Steve right by the doormat of their room!”

“So he left of his own volition,” Damien said.

“Allegedly! Nadia went back to her room, she’s freaking out, and Robert, Steve and Hayden are all MIA.”

“So what’s happening now?”

“I’m in my bed, in case Hayden comes back,” Kai says, lowered to a whisper after realizing that the conversation had gotten way too loud. “It’s just- they’re both so perfect, and they’re both exactly in line with what we told to Eros, and with Steve’s weird past and Hayden’s fucking superstrength? Something’s not right and I’m freaked out.”

"Okay, everything’s extremely suspicious. I still don’t think they’re robots, but I’m honestly leaning towards them being a cult or something. I’m going to do some more digging into Eros, and into Steve and Hayden, okay? I’ll use some connections, try to find out how far back their records really go. You just need to stay safe and take care of you and Nadia for now.”

"Yeah. Thank you for believing me. I didn't know what else to do."

"It's no problem, I'm always here for you, Kai."

Kai sighed deeply and flipped over on the bed.

"I know I should have listened to you about Eros. Ugh, I'm so stupid..."

"No. Just because I was paranoid doesn't mean you should have been. It's good that you-"

"Shit shit I think Hayden's coming shit bye Damien"

"Wait, Kai, I-"

The sound on the other end of the line cut out and Damien pulled the phone away from his ear. Shit. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep now, so he got out of bed and opened his blinds, letting the early morning sun in before turning on his computer and starting his search.

On the other end of the state, Kai was stuffing the phone under the pillow and pretending to be asleep, as Hayden pulled back the covers and snuggled into bed. Kai’s heartbeat was racing, and the only comforting thought was that Damien was back home, looking for an answer. Kai felt kind of guilty, thinking about Damien like this while Hayden was curled up in the same bed, but Damien would not leave Kai’s thoughts or heart, no matter how much Kai tried.

FOR THOSE UNINFORMED

HERES THE LOWDOWN strap your ass in on JUNE 26th 2017 my primary blog weirdmageddon was suspended out of the blue i got an email saying that it was for the accumulation of unused urls yes thats a thing that can get you suspended. access to your account gets restored once you release all your unused urls and contact support telling them.

what was unusual, however, was tumblr support’s communication. it took them over a month to get back to me for some ungodly reason but what matters now is i have access to my primary blog back

so where i have i been the past month? @temporaltower. i kinda created my home there until i got my blog back but i assumed it would take no more than 3 days at most to get a response and eventually i kind of figured i wouldnt ever get weirdmageddon back so i started posting on there as if it were my main blog, although with many many less followers. im still kinda shocked i reached 1k within one month on there but unfortunately, sorry to break it to you, temporaltower is going to be a pokemon mystery dungeon sideblog now, hence the name temporal tower. that was one url i just couldnt give up and had been planning to use for a while but never took action. its time to leave temporaltower and come back home. so to any new followers i got at @temporaltower, i’m here at @weirdmageddon from now on

i will slowly transfer posts from there and it might take as long as a few weeks to complete it but all my art i posted while there is still property of mine

in the meantime, heres whats been new for those who didnt know about my presence at temporaltower: - i turned 15 a week ago - i love 17776 - i love gurren lagann - uh thats all i think not much but 17776 is a big one expect a lot of 17776 posts coming over - i cabnt stop saying oh worm unironically

the transfered posts will be tagged #the great blog transfer of 2017 cause it sounds cool. most likely it was from the queue so if you see a post reblogged from temporaltower with that tag it doesnt mean ill always be online just saying this cause i never used queue ever but ill have robots do the transfer work for me

um. yeah beace out it is good to be 🅱️ack

fake happy (katya/trixie) - garbage

AN: hello!! i’m gonna go by the pen name ~garbage~ to represent my writing style. this is the first piece i’ve felt confident enough to share in a long time and in a relatively new community! my drag sideblog is zamolodvelour if anyone wants to hmu and talk drag!! i hope you enjoy this sad rambling and credit to paramore for the title (i recommend listening to it while reading)! <3

“You think I look alright with these

Mascara tears

See I’m gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth

And if the lights are low they’ll never see me frown”

Trixie couldn’t find her best friend.

Usually she could be found smoking or occasionally with an attractive young man but this time Katya had practically vanished.

“Katya? Brian?” Trixie shouted desperately down the hallway backstage, hoping that her blonde head would appear and soothe her growing anxiety; hoping that everything would be okay and nothing bad had happened.

She worried about the older man. She ran through every sadistic scenario that could be happening right now; every gory horror movie she had managed to sit through looped endlessly in her mind.

“Adore, have you seen Katya?"

Adore stood in the dressing room, frantically looking for something in her bag before replying.

"I was just going to ask if you had seen Alaska… I don’t know, sorry.” She drawled, finally holding the object she was searching for in her hand. Trixie spotted a young man stood opposite her on the far end of the room, watching Adore contentedly.

“Uhh, I’m leaving now… they won’t have gone too far.” She left arm in arm with tonight's companion, leaving Trixie and her anxious mind alone again. Everything fell silent.

Trixie pulled out her phone, searching for Katya’s number and phoning; it rang for a minute and went straight to her goofy voicemail. She phoned again. And again.

“Where the fuck are you?” She whispered breathlessly.

A lightbulb switched on in Trixie’s head, Katya must have gone into the club… but why? She doesn’t take drugs anymore never mind drink alcohol. Thinking about how Alaska had disappeared alongside her best friend almost brought Trixie to tears, although she would never admit to the feelings of jealousy deep in her heart.

The silence of the room felt like death. She stopped in her tracks, hearing raspy breathing, the kind that only sobbing can cause, through the thin wall. Panic set in, thinking about everything that could have upset Katya.

Trixie had never moved so fast in her life, bursting through the door to reach the bathroom.

“Katya?”

She pounded her fist against the door desperately. The crying continued. The door was unlocked.

“It’s Trix- Brian, I’m coming in…” She announced, trying to sound confident and in control of this shitty situation but failing badly.

She turned the handle to see her best friend sat on the bathroom floor, mascara cascading down her crimson cheeks. Next to her sat Alaska with an arm wrapped around the smaller queen’s shoulders.

“What’s happened? Are you okay?” Trixie approached Katya swiftly, dropping down onto her knees in front of the fragile human. The damage to her makeup was obvious, she had cried most of her dark eye makeup off completely. There was still no reply to her question. Trixie made eye contact with Alaska who stayed silent.

“Katya, please…” Trixie felt like sobbing, this was too much for her to handle right now; she was extremely jet-lagged and just wanted to be in her hotel room with her best friend watching shitty early morning television. A single tear dropped down Katya’s face and Trixie reached out to wipe it away while Alaska tightened her grip on her new friend. Katya rested her head softly against Alaska’s shoulder, closing her eyes tightly. To Trixie, this felt like being stabbed, she felt unwanted but attempted to brush it off and focus on the situation at hand. Alaska mouthed to Trixie, “Do you want me to go?” She shook her head.

“What’s wrong?” Trixie asked again.

Katya opened her mouth to speak but she felt a disconnect between her brain and her tongue; it was easier to cry again than to talk, so she cried. Trixie had only witnessed Katya cry once, she was very rarely seen expressing emotions other than complete and utter hysteria. Her heart shattered, alongside Alaska’s. Katya dropped her head onto Alaska’s lap covering her face.

Trixie was openly crying as well, she just wanted Katya to tell her what had upset her this much.

“Katya, let’s go back the hotel… come on.” Alaska shoved her lightly, standing up and towering over Trixie and Katya. She helped them both to their feet, before pulling her phone out to organise an Uber to their hotel.

Katya saw how upset Trixie was and spiralled into a deeper emotional breakdown; Trixie pulled her best friend into a tight embrace in response, fearful that if she let go, they would both shatter into a million pieces. Trixie felt the tears gathering in the crook of her neck, probably staining the pink swimsuit cover-up she was wearing but that didn’t matter.

“It’ll be here in ten minutes.” Alaska announced before leaving the bathroom. Trixie pulled away slowly from her fragile friend.

“Come on…” she reached for Katya’s hand and led her into the dressing room to gather their makeup and clothing.

Katya had turned into a robot, her short sharp movements concerned the other two queens but she was probably just worn out from all the crying.

“Oh, he’s outside now.” Thankfully there wasn’t much left to pack up and the three queens left the dingy lit nightclub, excited to be finally heading to the hotel.

The ride there was quiet, Alaska sat in the passenger seat, letting the two best friends sit together in the back. Trixie held Katya’s hand, needing constant reassurance that she was still present.

After piling out of the car and dragging their bags through the lobby to their rooms, Trixie decided to not let Katya out of her sight. She didn’t know what had happened but the look on Katya’s face spoke a thousand words and Trixie could not imagine leaving her alone in this state.

“Katya, come stay with me tonight.” She blubbered. She nodded tiredly in agreement. Alaska sensed it was time for her to leave.

“This is my room, I’ll see you two in the morning, okay? Katya, come here.” Alaska pulled Katya in for a warm hug, whispering something about how strong and brave she is.

“I love you both so much, goodnight.” She waved and stepped into her room.

Trixie unlocked her room quietly and pulled Katya inside; she turned the lights on and dumped their bags on the small desk.

Katya sat on the pristinely made bed and sighed raggedly. Trixie felt slight relief that at least now she was certain Katya was safe with her. She touched Katya’s blonde wig and gently pulled it off, hanging it behind the door with her own to ensure they didn’t tangle.

“Let’s take our makeup off,” She reached for Katya’s hand again, guiding her to the cramped bathroom. She located wipes, cleanser and just about anything to shift the layers of makeup now smudged on their faces.

“Do you want me to do yours as well?” Trixie suggested quietly, Katya nodded softly. She started gently wiping away the black stains around her puffy red eyes, the contour that had completely disappeared after her performance and placed her baseball cap on the older human’s head. Katya sat like a statue on the counter next to the sink as Trixie started her own beauty ritual.

“So, what happened?” Trixie pressed, not to be invasive but to understand what she had witnessed in the nightclub’s bathroom.

Katya sighed, loosening up slightly, signalling she was in fact still alive and hadn’t been replaced by a robot lookalike.

“I… uh. Drugs. This guy was trying to get me to relapse. I thought it was a joke but he pulled out some m-meth… it was awful…” She tried to hold back tears but failed terribly. Trixie’s jaw felt as though it had plummeted through the floor and all the way to the centre of the earth.

“What a cunt. Did-did you take any?” Trixie asked cautiously, worried that she was being invasive or presumptuous.

“What?” Katya snapped back to life milliseconds after her friend’s question.

“I’m just asking, it’s okay if you have and if you haven’t, I’m proud of you.” Katya’s stare lit fires in Trixie’s skull. Katya went to speak but instead pushed herself off the counter and exited the bathroom; Trixie’s heart started to pound in her chest.

“Kat… Katya, are you mad at me?” Trixie watched Katya as she paced nervously. This frantic behaviour scared her. She stopped and stared, her glassy brown eyes full of fear.

“What makes you think I relapsed?” Katya almost demanded.

“I didn’t say you had but the way you’re acting is fucking worrying me.” Trixie snapped back.

“I couldn’t even look at it. I panicked. I was looking for you because I needed distraction from my old life; I don’t want to go back to that again. Alaska heard me throwing up.” Katya dropped to sit on the bed again, her body heavy. Trixie watched her best friend break again.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t implying you weren’t strong enough to not take any; I just worry about you so fucking much, you idiot.” Trixie sat next to Katya, pulling the small frame into her, hands circling the shaking human’s bony spine. Katya had cried so much that now there was nothing left to cry; her panicked breathing softened.

“I’m sorry.” Katya exhaled raggedly.

“You have nothing to be sorry for… I’m sorry for not being there when you needed me. I’m so glad Alaska was there because god knows what you would’ve done if you were alone… fuck…” Katya felt Trixie’s chest rise and fall in the same pattern she knew all too well.

“Hey, it’s okay. I’m okay. I’m clean.” The roles reversed and Trixie sobbed brokenly into Katya’s neck. She squeezed the younger human tightly, never wanting to let her go.

“Let’s go to bed, get some sleep and forget about this shit show of a day.” Their bodies parted and both queens sat exhausted by their turbulent emotions. Katya pulled Trixie to the head of the bed, peeling the snow-coloured sheets back to allow them inside. They settled into the cool sheets and pulled each other close, waiting for their broken pieces to fuse back together.

Legend of Niiko Information Masterpost

Considering there's currently two Legend of Niiko sideblogs on Tumblr, I'll be closing down the inactive one shortly. This is just a compiled list of information regarding the fancomic brought over from the old blog along with new information brought up since. This is as much for my benefit as it is your enjoyment and anything I've written now is subject to change depending how the story grows. Still very much so a W.I.P.

GENERAL INFORMATION

- Book 1: Substance - Book 2: Power - Book 3: Freedom

- The events of The Legend of Niiko happen exactly a century after the events of Book 2 of The Legend of Korra. So about 97 years after Korra's story. (The extended time gives me more breathing room to do what I want while still staying within the confines of the Avatar world...And I also think Korra deserves to have a long and happy life.) - The Legend of Niiko takes place in what would aesthetically be the mid-2020s. - Book 1 will be a standalone story, but the events that take place act as the catalyst for what happens in Books 2 and 3, which will have an overarching story. - While Niiko is the Avatar and will always be the central character, he always shares the limelight with another character similar to Aang and Zuko in Atla. (Book 1 being Elke, Book 2 being Qu Lin and Book 3 being Rao for the first half and Anmu for the second.) - The last thing Varrick invented before his death was the cell phone, they’re called Varriphones. (This literally has no weight on the story as a whole I just wanted to be the first to claim the idea because I’m petty like that). - The only characters still alive from Korra's days are: Jinora, Mako, Rohan, and Ikki. - Niiko is very close to Jinora. Who taught him airbending alongside Master Heliun, who is Anmu's mother. - Niiko suffers severe performance anxiety, which is probably due to an undiagnosed anxiety disorder. He's uncomfortable in being in the spotlight, hyper-aware of people's opinions of him, and overthinks into complete inaction. - Loved the idea of being the Avatar when he found out he was at the age of 8. While he still holds some childlike wonder to his position, as he's grown older and more wise to what the job entails so has his fear towards it. - Niiko’s animal guide is a Hyena-Hog affectionately named Miu. - His bending opposite was firebending. - He tends to blame Avatars Aang and Korra for his own failings. As they achieved so much at such young ages and (in Niiko's opinion, at least) have set the bar of what makes a great Avatar too damn high. *- While mecha technology still exists, the demand for it died after Kuvira’s siege of Republic City. However in recent years there’s been a rise in robotics technology, mostly from the influence of Ba Sing Se Robotics. It’s founder and CEO a Mr. Changming Huang.

*- Team Avatar 2.0. I made a post of what Korra’s Team Avatar did between the events of Lok and Legend of Niiko. Which you can read here.

- Team Avatar 3.0. - Niiko. The Avatar. Age 25 years. Born 245 AG. Height 6'4. - Elke. Waterbender. Age 23 years. Born 247 AG. Height 6'0. - Rao. Firebender. Age 24 years. Born 247 AG. Height 5'9. - Qu Lin. Non-Bender. Age 24 years. Born 247 AG. Height 5'6. - Anmu. Airbender. Age 21 years. Born 249 AG. Height 5'4.

BOOK 1: SUBSTANCE. SYNOPSIS: "Returning to Republic City to announce his presence as the world's new Avatar, Twenty-five year old Niiko finds himself caught up in the disjointed political climate of a failing Police Force and a new task force vying to take their place as tensions rise from a radical group wanting answers for the so called 'De'pea Incident'."

- Takes place mostly in Republic City. - Book 1 is based on cyberpunk narratives, and will have roughly 10 chapters. - Focuses on the relationship between spirits and humans over the past hundred years along with how Korra's choice to leave them open is seen now that it's become the norm. - Technology has advanced to the point that they have things like television, computers and the internet. However the advancement has made some of the things from Korra’s time redundant. - The Avatar world has become more bureaucratic within the past 97 years, with benders needing to be legally registered. - The Spirit World and the portals are protected by a glorified task force known as The Spirit Protection Forces. Led by Captain Arrluk. All that is known about their beginnings is that they cropped up after the events of the De'pea Incident, a spirit world related tragedy that left hundreds dead and many more displaced. - Those thousands affected by the De'pea Incident were left homeless and without answers or any compensation. They now live illegally around the Republic City spirit portal, which has since become closed off to the general public. *- Here’s the character design for Captain Arrluk. Along with a non-spoilery summery of the founding of The Spirit Protection Forces. - With the elderly Mako still Chief of Police, the police have begun falling behind due to it's inability to adapt to the changing times. Because of this the rise in crime has skyrocketed, and most of the government funding going towards the Spirit Protection Forces who seen as more capable of maintaining peace. - While the Republic City Police Force has seen claims of police corruption in the past 30 years, the Spirit Protection forces has had it's fair share of cries of money laundering. - In Book 1 we see the beginning of Niiko's spiritual training. - We see how Niiko deals with the celebrity of being the Avatar while trying to do his duty.

BOOK 2: POWER SYNOPSIS: "To be determined."

- Takes place four months after the events of Book 1. - Is more similar to Avatar: The Last Airbender in that it has Team Avatar travelling the world rather than being in the one location. - We meet Niiko's family and learn more about his past. - There's an actual horse at some point. - Probably the lightest of the three, as we see Niiko's spirital training in Book 1 come to fruition along with him being more comfortable in his role as the Avatar. - With the events of Book 1 still looming over Niiko, we do see him questioning his own morals while trying to uphold Avatar Korra's legacy.

BOOK 3: FREEDOM SYNOPSIS: "To be determined."

- Takes place four years after the events of Book 2. - While the characters move around a lot less than what they did in Book 2, they are only in Republic City for a chapter. With a huge chunk taking place in the Fire Nation. - We meet Fire Lord Yezun and his daugher Princess Yebun. - Rao's younger sister Omi becomes a focal character. *- We also meet Qu Lin’s second brother and his husband. - Book 3 is darker than the prevous books, with Niiko facing an enemy in which he can't physically fight or talk his way into a solution. - It also focuses on Niiko struggling with his connection to Raava and Vaatu.

Thank you!

So, it’s that time again!

I originally intended to wait longer with my next post like this, but then again I’d only have waited because I would want to avoid having to face my shyness by doing this here. So, instead of waiting, I decided to go ahead with this number.

I have reached another number, that will be mentioned once but only below the cut for those that don’t like people talking about their amount of followers.

This is incredibly hard for me, but I had big plans for my next post and I intend to stick to those plans. It will get very long below the cut, so be warned when you click.

Short version:

Thank you all for following me and thus being interested in my Star and/or my writing!

I apologize if any of the ones that I’ll list below are currently on hiatus or inactive or anything, I don’t intend to force you back or something, I just wanted to say how I feel about your blog, and also try to word how thankful I am, and/or say a few nice words which I never would have the courage to say otherwise.

One more thing: Please don’t measure the length or compare it to the others. I can’t say exactly the same amount of things to everyone, and I also don’t wanna repeat ‘cliche-y’ terms for every single one of you. I only wanna write the most important things I feel about you, so please don’t be mad for getting fewer lines than someone else or something.

Also, to those that had already been mentioned in the last post I did of this (half a year ago or so), forgive me if something I say sounds very similar.

So! On with the list. I plan to mention almost every mutual I have down here, if I left you out I apologize. I go by the ‘followers’ list of tumblr, so it could be that it isn’t showing me everything right now or I simply missed one while going through the list. I still value you though! Oh, or, if I can see the dates of posts, and you haven’t posted anything within say the last two months or so, I’ll not mention you either. (I’ll also leave out ones like, that are posting news of something and likely only followed me back to... I don’t know, to be polite or something?)

Before I start: Thank you for allowing me to have reached 400 followers!

EDIT: If you got a notification but can’t find yourselves on the list, I am so very sorry! I had more people on the list at first, but then removed a few as I was working on it for various reasons (my shyness the most prominent one, inactivity being another and/or also if I just didn’t really know what to write), and tumblr seems to have sent out notifications nonetheless! I am very very truly sorry, I still value you very much!

@frozenloyalty: I think you’ve been following me for a very long time already, and I don’t understand why but I think tumblr has already made me unfollow you a few times, so first off, my apologies if you have recieved follow-notices more than once from me over the time. I’m not that indecisive about who I follow, and I really hate it when I after some time find out that I’m not following someone anymore. I actually don’t know anything about Xiaolin, but nonetheless I really like your character and I really enjoy the things you write! Not to mention you also have an Aqualad, and I think you’re doing him greatly and I always like to read the things you put on my dash!

@the-boy-wcnder: I think I mentioned in my last of these kind of posts already how much I enjoy to talk to you OOC? I don’t have many that I actually talk to about things sometimes, and you’re definitely one of those few! That means a lot for me, and while I’m not using Skype anymore which leaves basically only IMs on here (and tags on posts), I still appreciate it highly everytime we talk! Then there’s of course also the thing about the thread with the tamaranean staff; I’m so glad that you actually liked that idea/concept of mine! I very much enjoyed the interactions we had so far, and - this isn’t to force you to be active again or anything for I know that your last post has been a while but it’s still withing the 2 months I’ve set as ‘limit’ to when someone has to have been active to be included in here - I’m sure there’ll be many more great ones to come!

@shiningdream: I don’t know a thing about Pretty Cure in general, maybe aside from the fact that it is about magical girls. But from what I’ve seen, I really like Nozomi! And since I have never seen anything from it, that must be thanks to your writing! She seems like a wonderful character, I’m happy to be able to follow the things you write and learn more about her in that way, and even more happy that you are actually following me back!

@sorcxrxss: I don’t remember the name of the blog anymore (you had a different back then I know that), but I remember that we ‘met’ very early in my starting on here. I won’t forget that, and it always makes me happy when I notice that we’re still mutuals!

@riverborne: What a wonderful character Mnemosyne seems to be! I think I have told you that somewhere before (in my last ‘thank you’-thing? or maybe IM? I can’t say anymore), but you definitely made me enjoy her and that even though I never watched Sailor Moon far enough to actually know the character! Thanks for still following me, it means a lot!

@hisluckycharm: We had a very short-lived thing going once, didn’t we? Anyway! I love Ladybug and you do her so nicely, I very much enjoy to read your things when they appear on my dash!

@steelbonesandbighearts: Again, I don’t know anything about the fandom. The concept (of Hetalia as a whole I assume) is very fascinating though and I thank you for being interested in interacting with me! I enjoyed what we had so far; which reminds me; what happened to our thread? I’ll have to look up if it’s one of the things I (sadly) miss from time to time, because I definitely would like to continue interacting with you!

@graceful-cure-swan: I’m so thankful to have a chance to interact with you! Tsubasa is a really great character (and I assumed she would be a canon character at first since I have no idea about the fandom), and I so much appreciate that you were the one to make the first step for us to interact! I’m still not quite over my problems about sending things to people, but I always make myself try a little harder because I know there are wonderful people like you that do it and I wish to be able to give back a little of the love it shares, too!

@gottakeepemall: I think we talked somewhere once? Anyway! I haven’t watched Pokemon far enough to actually know about Bonnie, but from what I’ve seen thanks to you I absolutely adore her! I really like seeing you on my dash, and it makes me happy to know that you are still following me, too!

@apocalypsxmaidxn: I know I suck at communicating, and I feel like I’m way too often not responding anymore when we start talking through IM, and for that I’m very very sorry! I feel like we’d have interacted a lot already, but I think there wasn’t actually that much we did (yet)? We certainly should do more things together!

@cruelcrusader: I think you might be the only Batman that follows me, and that means a lot! I very much enjoy to see your things on my dash, and I’m happy that you are following me as well!

@adamxntium: I’m so glad about our interaction! Even if it takes some time every now and then to be continued, it’s a wonderful thread and I’m sure there is much more awaiting the two of them!

@justathief: Oh, Star and me both definitely enjoyed the interaction we had so much! I’ve actually recently put ‘fly me to the moon’ into my playlist on my computer again, and everytime it starts playing I’m reminded of the thread! You’re a great Red X and I always enjoy to read what appears on my dash from you!

@vertounda: We haven’t had any big interactions (yet), but let me just still say that I very much enjoy knowing that we’re mutuals! I appreciate it whenever you send me something (and I really should get better at sending things to return that gesture sometimes too), and it’s always great to see the things you do!

@aerokinesiiss: I love the fact that we’re Star-Sisters (for both going by Star on here)! Back when I read W.i.t.c.h., I always liked Hay Lin very much. Not only did interacting with you renew that liking, it also made it even bigger! I read almost everything that I see posted by you, and I’m always so excited when our threads are continued! (This isn’t the blog where I should mention this, but - I’m not sure if I’ll get enough followers on him any time soon to do a post like this there and also - I’ll never get over how thankful/delighted/happy I am for you being the first to interact with my Wildfire! And then it became such a wonderful relationship between them, I just love them so much together and often think about them!)

@destruction-robot: Again a fandom I know nothing about; but still I definitely like to see you on my dash! You’ve been following on my sideblogs too, and even already interacting, which I appreciate very much. That brings me to the thought... don’t you have sideblogs too? I think I’ve read something about them once while I was on mobile and intended to take a look once I’m back on my computer, but then forgot about it! I’ll have to check for those after being done with this post, I’ll certainly not want to miss out on more writing from you! (Also, by the way, what happened to our threads, on any of my three blogs? I’ll have to try and search for them, too, that is if you still want to continue those since I think it’s been a while already)

@aureajuniper: I have watched your dash and what happened on your blog for a while already. I enjoy your writing very much, and I learned so much about your characters only thanks to following you, I honestly can’t understand why you seem to have so many bad things happening every now and then. I’m very sorry that those things happen to you, you’re a wonderful person that not only does a great job at RPing but also does icons for others, and you don’t deserve any bad things happening to you!

@billyandhismultiples: A Billy! Oh, I was really happy when I saw you! He’s such a enjoyable character, and then you do him so well! We haven’t had any long-ish interactions yet or anything (we had one, I just don’t think it really counts as long), and Star hasn’t given Billy a chance on becoming friends yet, but I’m sure however they will turn out any interactions that are to come will be wonderful! And even if there are none to come, I still enjoy seeing such a wonderful Billy on my dash, and then even knowing he’s (well, or, technically, his mun) is following me back!

@sclsticed: I didn’t even know about Kiran before I found you (I guess you followed me first? I don’t actually remember anymore). She’s such a wonderful character though and I’m so very thankful to have learned about her thanks to you! I also really enjoy our interaction with my Blackfire, and I’m really happy whenever I see you on my dash!

@lucklessprincess: Such a great Jinx! I love your Jinx so much, and all those many headcanons you have, it’s amazing! Not to mention you also do such wonderful art, and have fascinating OCs, too! We haven’t really done any long-going interactions or anything (yet), but I don’t mind because I still really like to see whatever you put on my dash! You’re wonderful and one of the persons I definitely look up to!

@feistyfreckleface: I really like Anna! I liked her in the movie, and I like her even more through you! I’m not quite sure what happened to our thread, but it was no doubt a great one and Starfire was definitely happy to make such a wonderful new friend!

@firefavoring: I really like W.i.t.c.h. in general, and to have such a wonderful Taranee willing to follow me and interact with me makes me so happy! It’s always great to see you on my dash, and I very much enjoy to know that we’re mutuals!

@omamcri: I’m always keeping up with the Detective Conan manga (or Case Closed if that’s how it’s called where you are), whenever it comes out here I’m reading it as soon as possible! I haven’t watched the anime in a while, but nonetheless, I really like it and I very much enjoy the fact that a great Heiji follows me! I have no idea how a meeting would actually work if we ever were to interact, but I’m definitely not against it happening someday!

@grimmtime: Having a Grimm as an actual... uh, how do I say it, as an actual thinking being is such a interesting idea! While Starfire and Grimm maybe didn’t have the best start at their meeting, it was a very interesting and most enjoyable one!

@rosesofflame: A very interesting OC! I really like to watch you on my dash, and it’s making me feel even better to know we’re mutuals! I’m having much too big problems to actually approach people, otherwise I think I woud’ve had tried to start something with you a while ago already!

@littlestarmaiden: Another wonderful OC! I really like the concept, and from what I’ve seen on my dash of you I like your character as well!

@problem-free: Lion King! I can’t say I’d have watched it multiple times or can remember every detail of scenes of it or anything, but what I do know is that I enjoyed it very much and one of the things I remembered the most was Timon and Pumbaa! I’ve been quietly watching your blog for a while now already (I think it’s at least a few months that we’re mutuals already? Or if not then it at least feels like it), and in my opinion you’re doing a really amazing Timon!

@valieente: Meeting a talking cat has made Starfire extremely happy! Aside from that, I always liked Puss, and to then find one on here that’s doing such a good job RPing as him was wonderful! I’m really glad we met and I’m so happy to be able to interact with you! (I know you’re not really there at the moment but you made that post about planning to come back so I thought it’s alright to include you here too)

@archeroftheeast: Another one of the people I definitely look up to! I read almost everything I see on my dash that comes from you (this includes your other blogs I follow), and I always enjoy it! You’re such a great RPer and so much more, I’m very delighted to be good enough to be mutuals with you!

@finderofdeath: Such wonderful OCs! I really like the interaction that Star and Eath have, and your OCs are really great and interesting and I’m happy that we interact and are mutuals!

@tradicans: I hope you’ll feel better about things soon, and/or find more time for the things you want to do! I’m having somewhat the same problem and try to get to solving it so I very much understand why you’re not very active at the moment. That’s alright though, for I love our interactions and I definitely won’t mind waiting!

@avalanchiing: I don’t know anything about Lance, but from what I’ve seen on your blog I find him interesting!

@untouchable-lightning: I really enjoy our interactions! Star often tends to try and befriend villains, but it’s a bit different with those two I think because she doesn’t quite see Ariel as a villain. I like their relationship and the threads we have, so thanks for being mutuals with me!

@judasborn: I still can’t quite believe you’re following me, and even on Wildfire too! I really admire your blog, you’re such a wonderful Jericho and it always makes me happy to see you on my dash! I’ve also already learned a lot more about him than I knew before we became mutuals, all thanks to reading what you post! Also, I am aware you reblog memes from me sometimes, and I wanna say that it always makes me try to fight my shyness more to actually approach you! I haven’t been successful yet, but hopefully it’ll come someday.

@puffywarrior: Kirby is such a cute little thing, and you do him so well! I’m very happy to be mutuals with you, and if you want to, we should totally interact some time!

@xitch-bxy: I knew nothing about Klarion before finding your blog. I have never watched Young Justice, and I don’t know about the comics; so I can’t really compare to how he is anywhere else, but I really like your Klarion! And our (bit of) interaction was wonderful too, I’m happy to be mutuals with you!

@bxrdmom: What a wonderful character Arella is! I don’t know anything aside from her short appearance in the cartoon, but I always was interested in her nonetheless! You’re a great writer and it’s always nice when people take upon giving a smaller character more love, and from what I’ve seen you do so very well!

@microscopiic-abomination: Oh, how much Spongebob did I watch in earlier years? Quite a lot, actually, and your Plankton is so great! I enjoy seeing you on my dash and I’m thankful that we’re mutuals!

@mxnofmyxtery: I love our interactions! Every single one of them, they’re so great and offer such interesting adventures! Rex is a wonderful and fascinating character, and I so much like to see you appear on my dash!

@telekinctics: Again, I can’t really say I know much about your character. What I’ve seen so far, however, you’re a great writer and I like your character thanks to that; and you’re definitely a wonderful person as well, I really love seeing you on my dash!

@frostbitfun: I really liked Jack in the movie, and from what I’ve seen you do him so nicely! I like your blog very much, and I hope that I’m someday strong enough to push my shyness away and approach you for some kind of interaction!

@xenothiums: I really like your Red X! We haven’t interacted yet, but even without doing so I appreciate seeing your things on my dash! I like to read what you post, you do Red X nicely, and I’m glad that we’re mutuals!

@sewn-cutie: Oh, I love Clementine! And our interactions are so wonderful, not to mention that I absolutely adore your art and that you even make pictures for many of the people your little doll interacts with! You’re so wonderful, I can’t even properly word it! Thanks so much for being mutuals and interacting with me!

@nvertoolate: I don’t think I can really explain how thankful I am to have you as mutual. Our interactions are always so wonderful, and I like your Terra and the things you write so much, it’s just amazing! I don’t know what else to say here, I just hope that we will be able to keep interacting for a long time to come!

@blackfiire: Your Blackfire is amazing! I always enjoy to read the things you write, and I’m aware that we talked a bit once; I’m hopeful that someday I really will be able to send you something or use some other way to interact with you!

@peaceloveandmustard: One thing I’ll most likely not forget so soon will be the term Star-Sisters I’ve learned from you! I love the idea of using that to refer to all the Starfire RPers, and while I also have another Star-Sister which is simply because we both go by Star on here (see somewhere above if you wanna know who I mean), I really enjoy the idea and I’ll certainly remember this term! Aside from that, your Starfire is really great to see on the dash and I’m very thankful to be mutuals!

@mayhemforhire: I think more or longer interactions between us took place with your Ben, but I’m tagging this blog of yours because I’m seeing this one more often on my dash at the moment! I really enjoy our interactions, they’re always very entertaining and I’m glad that we happened to meet on here!

@autemiiisms: I’ve already mentioned twice that I liked W.i.t.c.h. very much when I was younger, and it’s just so wonderful to be able to relive this nostalgia by meeting ones that are willing to interact with me! You’re a great Will and I’m glad we interact!

@emoticlysm: You’re definitely one of those I admire! I know sometimes people don’t wanna hear that because they don’t feel they deserve it, but I just can’t not say it! You’re such a great Raven and I really enjoy seeing you on my dash; and everytime I’m once again aware of the fact that we’re mutuals I can’t quite believe it!

@ravagedglass: So, since I know next to nothing about the comics, I didn’t exactly know much about Rose either. I feel like I learned a lot already, thanks to you, and I really like your writing! I can’t really compare your way of writing her to any canon things, but I think you’re really wonderful at doing her!

@atrox-voluntas: I really liked our interaction, and am looking forward to more! From what I’ve seen, you’re a nice person and a good roleplayer and I’m very happy we’re mutuals and interacting!

@hopeherself: Madoka is such a wonderful character, and you do her very well! I enjoy seeing you on my dash, and the (bit of) interaction we had was great too!

@rain-wander: Technically we’re not mutuals but I still count it as such since I’m following your Raven and you follow back from the main blog. Our interactions are great, and I hope we’ll keep interacting for a while to come! You’re a good Raven and I’m happy to be able to RP with you!

@siilentiisms: Jericho is such a great character, I’m so happy to have him on my dash! (Technically even twice since I follow one other Jericho too, but that’s not the point right now) You’re really great and I enjoy to have you on my dash, I definitely like to read the things whenever you post something!

@xmemoriia: I think I have played MapleStory ages ago for a bit? Never really much though, and even for the bit that I played I can’t actually remember anything. So, I can’t say I know about Shade in any way aside from your blog, but from what I’ve read so far he’s a great character and I’m very interested in him! Also, can I mention just how impressed I’m always by people that do their own art for icons? You seem like a wonderful person and I’m delighted that we’re mutuals!

@tinkiisms: Such a wonderful Tinkerbell! I love all the nostalgia feels I get from having you on my dash, and I think you’re doing her very nicely! I love reading or looking at what you post, I’m very happy to actually be mutuals with you and even though I’m normally too shy to say it I hope there’ll be a way we will interact some time!

@thewitchofice: I’m currently trying to slowly catch up with my ‘Winx-knowledge’ by watching the episodes from where I stopped watching one per (almost every) day. But even without having seen every single episode there is, I’m certain you’re a great Icy! I’m glad we’re interacting, and while Starfire might not be very happy if she ever finds out that Icy doesn’t exactly have the best intentions, I’ll always be happy to be mutuals with you!

@otherworldlylightningbolt: I have learned so much about Kilowatt only by reading through your blog and the things you post! I really like him, and I enjoyed the interactions we had so far! Thank you!

@dutypatrols: I’ve always liked Robin in the cartoon, and you do him very well! We have only interacted (a bit) OOC as of yet, but I’m sure someday there’ll come more and I’m just very happy to know that the interest is mutual!

@rockcrushed: You are a very good Terra! I like to read your things, and I enjoy the fact that we’re mutuals! I hope we’ll be interacting someday, and until we are (or even if we won’t) I’ll happily look at your posts anyway!

@moonrisiing: Oh, oh, oh! I’m not even sure how to start. We had short interactions on a few of your blogs, and I loved every single one of them! Not to mention it’s so wonderful to talk to you OOC! I’m so happy to have met you on here and I’m very thankful for it!

@acrobaticism: From what I’ve seen, you’re a wonderful Robin, and I’m excited to know we’re mutuals! Someday I’ll be brave enough to actually approach you in some way to get an interaction going!

@spxder-head: I didn’t expect to ever be interacting with a Fang, but I really like it! You’re making him very interesting and I’m excited to see how our interactions will continue, both on here and with Blackfire!

@tyrantsiblings: Our interactions are so much fun! Star always loves to take care of animals, and if they’re rare (or should be extinct) that only makes it even more interesting! Your two rexes are so cute and fascinating and I love our things!

@scarabfused: I can’t say I know very much about Jaime/Blue Beetle, aside from that I have watched the recent TT movies. I really like what I know of his character so far, and seeing your things makes it even more so! Quite often when I see you post something I start to think about how they would meet in the verse of the cartoon (since I don’t do the movie as verse or anything), and I hope we’ll someday find out!

@nebulabeings: I have a big respect for people that are brave enough to actually put their OCs ‘out there’, open to see for everyone. Your OCs seem very interesting, andI’m pretty sure you’re a nice person too, so I appreciate to have you as my mutual!

@shogun--of--sorrow: We only recently became mutuals so I don’t think I can really say much yet. I don’t know about Samurai Jack, so I can’t really say anything about the fandom or my thoughts on your character. I’m certainly interested though!

@poutybatmavy: I really enjoyed the movies, and I’m very glad to be able to interact with a Mavis now! It’s been a joy so far, and I’m rather sure it’ll continue to be very entertaining, thank you for being mutual with me!

@fuckedluck: I can’t really say anything about your RPing for I don’t think I have seen any of it on my dash yet, but I always appreciate more Jinx’s (or more TT characters in general) to interact with and I hope we will someday!

@teentiitan: And another Robin! I feel like I’m following too many Robins xD Anyway! I’m excited to be mutuals with you and I hope we’ll interact some time!

If you aren’t on this list, I very much apologize. I didn’t manage to fend off my shyness entirely, so I left out a very few that I just couldn’t make myself actually tag. Then there are also quite a few I didn’t mention because I think/know they are the same person like one that I have tagged; and there’s of course the ones that tumblr simply made me miss! If you’re a mutual and not mentioned here, please forgive me for it! I value and appreciate you nonetheless!

#✫ Out of Clurblopf ✫ | OOC #so in the end I couldn't make myself actually approach every single mutual I have in here #but I think I still managed to mention quite a few I'd normally shy away from #so that's something; and now I have to make myself actually post it #(which already has happened when you can read those tags #but I still need to write them to get them out of my head)#I know I've not been as active during the last few days #and I'm sorry for that; but that makes me appreciate those #that stick with me nonetheless even more #so a big huge giant THANK YOU to all of my followers #be it mutuals or non-mutuals or ones that only stalk without actually following!#(if there even exist the latter kind of people)

Weekly Voltron Fics #32

Rules: You can find past weekly rec lists here, and non-list recs in my general fic rec tag. Also follow @maychorianrecs for individually tagged posts, the easier to search and reblog. This is stuff I like, and I have a huge bias toward Lance, hurt/comfort, and general fluff, in that order. Gen unless otherwise noted. Please comment on the fics if you read and enjoy them!

A Very Bland Voltron Christmas by genericfanatic Words: 1,367 Author’s Summary: The paladins go shopping for space christmas gifts at the mall. Made in honor of getting 100 followers on my sideblog blandvoltronheadcanons! My Comments: Super cute and fun little fic about the team going back to the mall.

If You Trust Me by yet_intrepid Words: 3,430 (1/?) Author’s Summary: “I’m sorry,” the young man says to her, as they slow to a walk in an empty residential street. He’s dropped her hand; Allura thinks for a moment that she misses the closeness. “I could have gotten you arrested.” “I almost got myself arrested,” Allura points out. “Your apologies are unneeded. Let me offer my thanks instead.” “No,” he insists. “You would have been in worse trouble had you been caught with me. I have—a history.” She looks down at his right arm, ending bluntly before the wrist. “You’re really a thief?” My Comments: Holy crow, I am IN to this. It’s an Aladdin fusion AU with Shiro as the leader of the group of homeless kids and Allura as the princess running away from home, and it works amazingly well. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Shallura.

Hallelujah, You’re Home by tymedfire Words: 4,542 Author’s Summary: It’s been two years. Two years since they’ve felt rain on their faces. Two years since they’ve seen their families, since they’ve spoken to their families. Two years since they really started to learn what war was. Two years since they stopped being teenagers and became soldiers. Two years since they left Earth. Three, for Shiro. But now they’re going back. They’re going home My Comments: This is wonderful, sad but very beautiful. Going home is really hard sometimes. Everyone’s support of Lance was gorgeous, especially Pidge, but everyone.

Surface Tension by Teramina Words: 8,425 Author’s Summary: Companion piece to 2x08, Shiro’s perspective + aftermath My Comments: Really well-written missing scene and alternate perspective for a very important episode. The mutual protectiveness and concern in this relationship always gets at me.

Down Time (Don’t Let Me Down) by EdgarAllenPoet Words: 2,096 (2/?) Author’s Summary: “Hunk smiled, a tint of guilt on his face, and tightened the hose with a final tug. ‘Oh,’ he said. 'I’m winning a game of hide and seek.’” My Comments: I really like this author’s gen stuff, so of course I’m going to read their collection of prompt fills. The first one is some really cute fluff featuring Hunk and Pidge, and the second one is an angsty Shiro character study. You should probably subscribe so you don’t miss any. I did.

Hold these Shattered Pieces of My Heart by WildWolf25 Words: 6,322 Author’s Summary: Those memories seemed so far away; cozy nights holed up in a blanket fort in the living room, lit up only by the glow of the television screen, were a stark contrast from the hell he had been experiencing for the past two years. He wished he erase these past couple of years and go back to the days before the Kerberos mission, back when his biggest problem was trying to beat Katie at rock-paper-scissors to choose which Alien movie to watch first. He wished he could go back to summer barbecues and robotics team competitions and stargazing and looking for UFOs on the hill behind the house. Back when the horrors he witnessed could just be turned off with the press of a button and exchanged for a different movie. Back when he could sleep through the night without waking up in a cold sweat with a racing heart and fear running through his veins; back before a time where waking up didn’t mean the nightmare was over, only that the dream version had ended and he was stuck in one he could never wake up from. (Matt has some trouble sleeping after he’s rescued, but Shiro’s got his back. Or, front, in this case) My Comments: Can be viewed as platonic or pre-slash. This is a really sad but sweet fic, very heavy and vivid with the feelings it evokes.

Singularity by this_book_has_been_loved Words: 29,260 Author’s Summary: AU where instead of landing in the trash nebula, Pidge finds herself on the same planet as a certain Galra prison camp. My Comments: Well-written little AU about Pidge going all-out to rescue her family and everyone else helps. Canon won’t be like this, but that’s okay. Fic is good.

when next we meet by julesdap Words: 1,899 Author’s Summary: Hunk had told her to eat, and when Pidge had said nothing, he brought her a meal. Keith had told her to change out of her dirty paladin gear, and when Pidge had, still, said nothing, he said he would guard Matt closely while she left to change. Shiro had told her to rest, and without waiting for a response, offered to watch Matt while she napped, promising to wake her as soon as Matt did. Lance had told her, simply, that Matt would be alright soon, but also that he understood how it felt, to worry all the time for your family. All in all, Pidge was grateful. My Comments: Lovely and poignant fic about Pidge finding Matt and all the healing and adjustment that needs to be done. Everyone was delightfully supportive, and there’s a Shiro/Matt kiss, if you’re into that, but the focus is on Pidge and her brother.

Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty by Ford_Ye_Fiji Words: 1,534 Author’s Summary: When the Galra attack unexpectedly, Keith is incapacitated. The Red Lion has to take some drastic measures due to the absence of the other Paladins. My Comments: Red is Keith’s adoptive mama, and she is FIERCE about it. Fun fic.

if you’ll be my stars, then i’ll be your sky by Lobo_Loca Words: 10,910 (2/?) Author’s Summary: [“Road trip!” Lance exclaimed. Shiro sighed. “We are going on interplanetary reconnaissance and diplomatic missions, Lance. It may seem a bit scenic, but it’s not a road trip.”“I don’t know,” Hunk chimed in. “Dubiously edible food, extended periods of time in confined vehicles, strange places with stranger people, sleeping in vehicles instead of local establishments because who knows what happened in those beds: sounds like a road trip to me.”] For Day 1 of Voltron Week: Space/Travel. My Comments: The paladins split up into two groups and head off for adventure! Great fun so far, good banter and character interaction, and it looks like there will be plenty of hijinks to come.

We’re Good by kuro Words: 2,455 Author’s Summary: So Keith and Lance weren’t actually on bad terms, or that was what Keith had come to believe, at least. Which made it all the weirder that Lance had been rather snippy lately.(Or, Keith and Lance try to figure out how to be friends with each other. They might not be very good at it.) My Comments: Aw, poor Keith. He really wants to be friends with Lance and doesn’t get it when Lance starts snapping at him for reasons that are beyond Keith’s control. Fortunately, Hunk is there to tell Lance that he’s being a jerk. Very cute ending. I love when these two become friends, with no shipping in sight.

Halcyon Day by Stratagem Words: 1,599 Author’s Summary: Altea is celebrating the creation of Voltron, and as usual, Coran is busy tracking down one missing princess. Also, Coran’s family loves him very much. My Comments: Gah, this author just does the best and most heartbreaking family stuff. This is beautiful, and it’s sad only because you know what’s going to happen in the future.

The Truth is Out There… Right Under Lance’s Nose… by Ninja_Librarian Words: 5,706 Author’s Summary: Katie Holt’s infiltration of the Galaxy Garrison under the male alias of Pidge Gunderson was marginally successful. There were hiccups along the way. But her true identity–and gender–were never revealed. Although there were a few close calls, courtesy of her pilot teammate… Or, 5 Times Lance probably could have figured out that Pidge was a girl… My Comments: Lance is an innocent soul who always takes Pidge’s words exactly at face value no matter how outlandish her explanations get. Hunk is more suspicious and figures it out before he even reads her diary. Also, Pidge is protective of Lance because he is a dumb baby who needs to be protected. Love this fic.

If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane by WildWolf25 Words: 2,745 Author’s Summary: Sleepless nights and homesickness are not uncommon for the paladins. Sometimes the best cure is adopting each other as surrogate siblings. My Comments: Absolutely excellent Pidge and Lance friendship culminating in a sleepover and the sleepy determination that they are all siblings. Shiro shows up at the end and is also summarily adopted. Super cute stuff.

Daddy Daycare by EdgarAllenPoet Words: 1,552 Author’s Summary: “Kolivan turned to investigate the yelp and saw Lance rubbing at his side and pouting. Antok shrugged innocently, and well, he’d never done great with children. Antok tended to practice pinching as a discipline tactic.” My Comments: The Dads of Marmora are so quality. Lance and Keith act like toddlers and get put in time out. Perfection.

Altean Benadryl is evil and they should also put english labels on the damn bottles by GreenhouseNurse Words: 1,978 (4/?) Author’s Summary: Lance just wanted some stomache medicine. Lance can’t read altean. Medicines can have very similar names.This isn’t going to end well.(Gift for Anon who like my prompts on tumblr ) My Comments: Very short chapters, which is usually a bad sign, but this is great so far. Good descriptions and good emotions, the works. Everyone is very worried, as they should be.

Slav has Seen Some Shit by Megaeevee Words: 1,616 (1/?) Author’s Summary: Slav has lived a long life. It wasn’t always a good one, but at least he survived. He’s seen things that nobody should see, and done things that nobody should have to do… but he’s still here after all of it. And he may not seem like it, but Slav is a fighter. He made it, despite there being too many realities in which he didn’t. My Comments: I’ve never seen a Slav-centric fic before! This has a great, though heartbreaking start, and I’m very much looking forward to more. No idea where it’s going to go, which is kind of exciting.

Grayscale Images by cipheredsong Words: 6,173 (2/?) Author’s Summary: On a mission to form an alliance with a new planet, Lance has a run-in with a strange species of plant that gives him an even stranger virus-type illness. It doesn’t seem to be that bad… until Lance’s whole world is fading away around him. Or is he fading himself? He can’t trust himself to think clearly, but he can’t trust anyone else, either. My Comments: I’ve read plenty of OOC Langst where the team is cruel and dismissive to Lance for no reason at all. This is not that. It’s an alien infection invading his thoughts and convincing him that they don’t care and it’s useless to go to them with his hurts, and that’s a GREAT premise. I’m totally into this fic and can’t wait for more.

i can’t drown my demons by electricindigo Words: 5,906 Author’s Summary: But really, he’s okay. He’s great, actually. He’s dealt with this before, and it’s not like it’s new to him. He doesn’t need anyone to take care of him, he doesn’t want Shiro to see, so it’s fine. He’s fine. He’s okay. He’s okay. (He’s not.) - Lance gets seriously hurt during a mission, affecting both his physical health and mental health. The team is worried. Lance doesn’t remember what happened. He doesn’t want to be helped. My Comments: Heartbreaking but very well-written and realistic fic about the aftermath of captivity and sexual assault. (Mind the tags.) Lance’s PTSD is a little grittier and more awful than typical fics, but it felt very real, and all the worse for it. The way he pushed the others away even while he desperately needed their help was definitely true to my experience. Good thing Shiro didn’t give up. The comfort part was fantastic, too. Good and necessary cuddling, that’s what I like to see.

Aromantic is when you don’t experience romantic attraction (romantic attraction is "oh I'm so lovey dovey about you” although they can still date and have sex.) Asexual is when you don’t experience sexual attraction (sexual attraction is ”gosh dang it I need your body specifically.” They can still want sex, they just don’t experience their body saying that about a person) (I’m aro ace so idk what attractions are like so correct me if I’m wrong please-also SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS I DON’T UNDERSTAND ATTRACTION.) Someone can be both asexual and aromatic (hello), but in this case, Logic is Aromantic and asexual while Morality is just Asexual.

there is no point to this fic, it’s basically just word vomit. it was just an outlet before I created You are loved (and this was how it was supost to be before some writers *glarings at @stary-puppy @analogically-prinxiety @sanders-sideblog and @prinxietyhell * encouraged me to make it agnsty.

thanks to @sanders-sideblog for the help! @starrykid @prinxietyhell @doctorwho @doctorshufflepuff @dan-yuna

puns taken from Tumblr posts (one from arodorable) I don’t remember who made most of them but they were on Tumblr when I saw them. trigger warnings: mentions of wanting kids and being told they cant because they’re asexual, they mentions of sex, but its not explicit

. .

“But you always talk about how much you love everybody! How could you not have had someone you’ve wanted sex with?” Prince asked him too shocked. Morality flinched. He had heard all sorts of stuff about this, “Impossible! That doesn't happen!” “Come on! A guy like you must have at least one action in your lifetime!” “Yeah right!” But it didn't make it any less uncomfortable to talk about. “You literally embody all of Thomas’s extreme emotions, how could you not have at least felt one tiny attraction??” Prince asked. Morality hesitated, not sure how to answer Princys questions. He always thought it was fake, or forgot it existed but he always found out that it was a real thing and it always confused him.

“I don’t know.” Morality said meekly, “m-maybe I just- I don’t know.” He didn’t want to talk about it anymore. Prince could sense this so he spoke up; “Don’t worry you’ll find your prince, princess or non-binary royalty someday!” Prince gave Morality a hug and walked away. Morality felt uncomfortable, he had never had that feeling towards anyone before and he didn’t think he ever will. Did people really have that feeling all the time? he wasn’t sure how to react. He decided to go to Logan, He needed someone who understood, and some company. Anxiety was sleeping-which was something he rarely did so he didn’t want to wake the emo side.

Walking to Logic’s room he thought about the conversation he had with Prince. He couldn’t remember a time when he had any sexual attraction, he always thought everyone was exaggerating or thought they were just pretending so they could relate to their older siblings. He always nodded along with the others when they talked about it since he didn’t want to be left behind, but it always felt weird to talk about “how hot someone was.” He always thought it meant beautiful until Logan corrected him (which was shocking to everyone, but he understood sexual terms very well-well, at least most of the terms.) Reaching Logic’s door, which was already open, he could see papers sprawled across the desk he sat at.

“Logan-” Morality spoke up.

“What is it now!” Logic snapped. Morality jumped back, biting his lips. He didn’t realize he had tears in his eyes until Logic turned to him and panicked.

“Oh crap-uh I don’t- how do I comfort-?” Logan stood up and walked to his crying friend, reaching an arm out to hug them awkwardly. Morality laughed at the awkward hug.

“I’m glad you find my pain funny.” Logan answered. Morality suddenly felt bad, but calmed down once he saw Logic was smiling.

Logan was glad he could cheer Morality up, but he had no idea what to do now. Morality was the one that was good at these things, or even Anxiety. Anxiety must be sleeping if Morality wasn’t going to them.

“Do you want to talk about it or?” Logan was hesitant to offer anything, but he read somewhere that you should let them speak and let them know you were open to listening. Morality sniffled wiping his nose on his wrist before answering; “Will I ever be loved?” Logan grabbed a tissue when he saw Morality wipe his nose, and was suddenly confused and shocked. Why would Morality even think that!? “What are you talking about? Thomas loves you, Anxiety and Prince loves you, I -”

“No, not that kind of love but- uh romantic love.” Morality was feeling childish and small right now. Logan was confused before he remembered there was a thing called romantic attraction.

“Oh.” Logan said.

“I’m sorry, but its just-everyone is bothering me about my asexuality ever since I said I haven’t felt that way towards someone, and everyone is freaking out about it. Anxiety asked me a couple questions, which to be honest was uncomfortable, but better than the other’s questions, but they all had some form of “you’re lying” or “but you said you wanted to have sex and then you don’t?” and stuff like that. I mean- it’s confusing enough they don’t have to add to it. It fine if they’re trying to understand-that I don’t mind, but when they keep pestering me about it it gets… annoying and … hurtful?” Morality didn’t know how to describe it.

“I get it. Not everybody knows I’m Aromantic, but I’ve had plenty of people ask me about crushes and make up delusions about how I’m lying or whatever it is. Truth is, they can’t understand and that sucks. All we can do is try to educate them on this matter and hope for the best.”

“How do you handle their questions?” Morality asked

“Well for one, I usually just answer them honestly and listen to what they have to say. Usually everyone thinks I’m an emotionless robot so they aren’t surprised, but sometimes, like Princey for example, he would get confused and pester me until he gives up.”

“That sounds awful!” Morality was shocked by how the others had reacted. He didn’t know that they had thought him to be an emotionless robot!

“It’s all good. It’s better than the “that doesn’t exist!” or “You’re just seeking attention”-which is ridiculous since they didn’t know I was aroace until they asked about crushes-but hey, I can’t understand how allosexuals think. Although, it’s always fun to think up a good comeback for when they say stuff like that again.”

“Yeah, it sucks.” Morality agreed.

“It does indeed, and when they find out you can have sex and feel honey they get confused or even offended. Like, sheesh, I don’t make the rules, it just happens but perhaps one day they’ll understand, or at least stop pestering us about it.” “It’s just-” Morality hesitated. He wanted talk about it but he wasn’t sure Logan would understand.

“What if I can’t find someone who respects my boundaries?” He asked. Logan frowned.

“Why do you ask?” Logan asked,

“Well,” Morality hesitated, “it’s just that, if everybody I talk to about it thinks I’m faking, there’s a high chance my partner is going to think I’m faking too. I just- what if I fall for someone and they don’t accept it? What if they want sex, but I don’t?” Morality felt uncomfortable. Normally he didn’t go to someone about his problems, but it was overwhelming him right now.

“Morality, being aromantic and all, I don’t experience this “falling I love” you’re referring to, but there are plenty of ways to fall in love. You could fall in love with the trees, the birds, the bees, whatever basically. You still have time. Even if you never end up wanting to do that with someone its okay. They will respect your boundaries. You deserve it. And if they don’t then, Thomas, Prince, Anxiety and I will Hunt them down and make sure that they are aware that we are not to be messed with.”

This made Morality crack a smile. Logan had a thought.

“Come on let’s lie down for a bit. I want to watch the constellation in my room change again.”

Morality beamed. At certain time of the day Logan’s room-well ceiling to be exact- would change colors and stars so that you could see the different constellations, and galaxies. Sometimes when morality was younger Logan would bring him in here and just try to explain the stories behind each of the constellation. Morality didn’t get it of course but he enjoyed the company and watching the stars change. It wasn’t in real time, but it was held from memories Logan had of seeing pictures or memorizing the star’s positions. Even though he could not name most of them; They were beautiful. They were lying on Logan’s bed, feet touching the ground, because they were laying on the sides of the bed, staring at the ceiling, just starting to talk about things allosexuals would say to them. How frustrating it was to not be understood. How upsetting it was when they thought people told them they were aro or ace because they were emotionless, or too emotional. They talked about how they felt and who they thought they would date or have sex with if they wanted. (Logic wasn’t interested in dating anyone but he would totally have sex the guy from biology, while Morality thought the smiling person in Thomas’s class the day before was adorable and someone he could see himself kissing one day.) Then Logan started talked about how confusing it was for him when he first noticed he was aromantic and asexual. “I don’t know I just-everyone was starting to feel things and at first I thought that they were just exaggerated for effect, but then, it just grew for you guys while I stayed the same? I’m not sure, I never understood the concept of love outside of friendship. I literally cannot see myself in love with anyone. I might love someone, but never in that way. Oh, and every time someone asked me if I had a crush I would have no idea how to answer because I’ve never had a crush! However, if I told them that they thought I was just faking so I was frustrated and confused. I did a lot of research and at first I thought I had some form of disorder where I couldn’t feel emotions, but I felt pain and everything else that people felt, just not-that one feeling.”

“that’s kind of how it felt for me, except it was just recently when I realized that sexual attraction was completely different from romantic attraction and it all just sudden made sense!”

they stared in silence for a second before Logan interrupted.

“I’m surprised.” Logic said.

“By what?” Morality asked “It’s been almost an hour and a half… and you haven’t made one pun about being asexual or aromatic.”

“Well I knew you would be more of a fighter than a lover if I did that!” morality gave him a cheeky grin. Logan stared at him, realizing something.

“…how long have you attempted these puns without me knowing?”

Morality pretended to look at his watch (his wrist was bare he had no watch)

“About an hour and a half, I believe.” Logan groaned.

“How come I never get your jokes?”

“They’re not very straight, just like us.”

“Huh? That makes no sense!” Logan turned his head to face his friend.

“Allosexuals make no sense!” Morality laughed. This time logan rolled his eyes and smiled at the joke.

“Very funny Morality.” “I have more.” He cleared his throat before continuing, “you’re as straight as an aro.”

“I don’t get it, I’m aro- oh I get it, but you go one thing wrong morality! I’m not straight!” Logan argued as Morality laughed. Moralitys laugher died down a bit. It went silent again until Morality sighed.

“I don’t know how to be a romantic at all. I need someone to teach me.”

“Hey, don’t ask me I’m aromantic, not a romantic.” Logan said. Morality sat confused until his eyes widened and he sat up. “Aww! You just made a dad joke!”

“It’s a play on words, but it’s my favorite.”

“Another one Logan! You’re on a roll!”

Logan sighed, he had only made two puns but he continued.

“What do you call a group of aromantic people sitting next to each other?” he paused before saying “a row.” Morality laughed and made a few more aro jokes that earned a smile from Logan. Now they were talking about people who said they couldn’t experience one attraction without the other.

“What about when people ask when you find someone cute?”

“I think animals are cute, but that doesn’t mean I want to date them.” Logan pointed out. Morality laughed. “I’m not sure why that made you laugh but anyways; asexual people can still experience romantic attraction and date or even have sex if they want; Aromantic people can experience sexual attraction and have sex or even want to date!” “Yeah but-I don’t know. It’s just… sometimes I do think I will want to have sex with my partner, but what if I end up not wanting to do that? What if I just want to… be with them without sex.” Morality didn't know what to say, it sounded like Logan had accepted his own Aro/Ace identity with no problem. Morality wasn't even sure if he was asexual. He was definitely not aromantic. None of this made sense to him.

“It’s okay if you don’t get it now. You’ll get it someday. Even then, you don’t need a label to allow yourself to feel however your feeling.”

Morality was tired of hearing that, but at the same time he knew it was true. Why couldn’t he just accept he didn’t know and move on?

“I know, but I’ve never experienced this sexual attraction feeling before and it bothers me so much. Do you ever wonder what its like?”

“Well to be honest, not often. I do wonder how it could be great, because from all the stories about loving this person but not their partner confuses me. Besides think of it this way, You’re not distracted so much by how attraction you have towards this one person-”

“Uh, maybe not but I will always worry that my partner will always want sex when I least want it and-and then I worry about mentioning how much I don’t want to try it or worry about how they will react to me not wanting it even when I want kids, or how much they’ll hate me after I tell them so I’ll have to-”

“Whoa Morality- is someone pressuring you?” Logan was confused and worried. Morality had too much emotions for one person sometimes and he needed a break from it all, but he had never seen Morality this upset. Maybe they’d have to wake up Anxiety for this after all.

“No no no no! I’m not even dating anyone yet! I’m just- I’ve heard so many different stories and I don’t know how to react, and if everyone around me acts like I’m some sort of werido about not wanting sex or experiencing the attraction, then how will they react if they were my partner?”

“I’m pretty sure that’s not why they think you’re a weirdo, but just know this, You don’t have to do anything you are not comfortable doing.”

“yeah, but it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.”

“if anyone pressures you to do something you’re uncomfortable with let me know and I will annihilate them with my secret weapon.” Logan joked. It was an inside joke they had since they were kids, but they rarely used it. Morality smiled a little, but it wasn’t a smile. He just smiled because Logan was trying to cheer him up though it wasn’t working. Logan knew if he had faked a smile while they were already talking about other struggles it meant either he didn’t want to talk about it, or he wasn’t ready to talk about it.

Logan thought for a minute before deciding to move so he was properly on his bed. Morality frowned and moved so that Logan’s feet wouldn’t meet Morality’s head, “Come here.” Logan said laying down on his bed with his head at the head rest. Morality looked very confused.

“I promise I wont do anything you don’t want me to, just come here for a second.”

Morality hesitated but went to the edge of the bed. Logan grabbed morality and pulled him towards the bed. Morality laid down besides him and snuggled up closer.

“Is this comfortable?” Logic asked.

“Yeah.”

“This is all some people want. For some people this is more pleasant than cake-” (morality gasped at that,) “I’m asexual too morality I know about the symbolism of cake, and how hurtful it is to consider something better than cake -” (logic rolled his eyes as he said that,) “-now shush, I’m trying to comfort you. Now look, in your entire life have you ever made anyone uncomfortable?”

“Well there was that one time when I wouldn’t stop annoying Anxiety about that time he-”

“I’m not talking about teasing them, I’m talking about make them so uncomfortable they don’t feel safe enough to be around you.” “well-no-but.” “why not?” “because that’s just wrong!”

“exactly! Your partner will know that this is wrong. If your partner really loves you, they will do anything they can to make you comfortable and feel secure. Yes they might tease you, and yes they might make you upset or angry, but as long as they don’t make you feel unsafe or insecure then you have nothing to worry about.” Morality snuggled up to Logic it was nice just talking to him, but it was better knowing that Logic was trying to comfort him.

“I just want to hear about the stars right now.”

Logan lit up and brought his attention to his ceiling.

“Sure! So you see that star right there? Yeah that star is called the Pistole star and is the most luminosities star that we know of! It is ten million times brighter than the sun isn’t that neat! Oh and when the stars are twinkling its because of just our wafting atmosphere…” Logic continued to pull out random facts about stars while Morality listened. It was nice just to be here with his friend. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about Logan leaving him.
