Masterlist

A/N: @gunsandguardians and @imagine-all-the-fandoms I hope you're prepared for some Kelly Severide smut....

The end of the shift was finally here and you were ready to head home and get into bed. “Sooo, you got any plans tonight?” Gabby asked, smirking and nudging you as you changed out of your uniform and into regular clothes. You rolled your eyes but couldn't help but smirk.

“I don't know what you're talking about.” You said 

“Sure. It's not like you tamed the flame to a sizzling heat.” She said and you felt yourself go warm. You picked up your bag ready to head and so was following suit. As you walked out of the changing room you ran into Kelly, literally ran into him. 

“Oof.” You said as his hands shot out to steady you and you looked up.

“Well, hello there.” He said 

“Hi.” You said completely forgetting that Gabby was with you and smirking.

“I'll leave you two alone.” She said making herself known, smirking and nudging you and you flipped her off. She just laughed and walked off. 

“So, you got plans?” He asked and you returned your gaze to him.

“I was planning to go home and crawl into bed.” You said and he shook his head.

“Nope you're coming home with me and we're going to take a shower together...” He said moving closer to you backing you into the way and he moved his face close to yours. You could feel his breath hitting your face and smell his cologne mixed with smoke from the calls that he hadn't washed off, it made you weak in the knees. “and you know what?” He asked breath tickling the shell of your ear.

“What?” You asked breathlessly.

“You won't have to be quiet.” He said and you thought your knees were weak before but you all about collapsed if he wasn't holding you up. He nipped your earlobe as he stood up when he heard footsteps walking your way. 

“You two heading home?” Boden asked and you looked over at him and nodded not trusting your voice.

“Yes, sir. We are.” Kelly said for the both of you.

“Good you both deserve your 3 days off. You both worked hard.” He said and then was walking off and Kelly was turning towards you.

“I'll meet you at my place?” He asked and you simply nodded and he smirked. He knew what he was doing and he knew that he could rile you up by saying just the simplest things and damn was he good at it. 

“Yes.” You said and he smiled and nodded and headed out. You stood there for a few minutes before following him. You got into your car and followed behind him. Clothes be damned you weren't going to be leaving his apartment for the three days and you weren't going to want to and to be honest Kelly wasn't going to let you. Well at least not until you were fucked out and satisfied and you knew you would be by what pleasure he gave you in his quarters. 

It wasn’t even 5 minutes and you were pulled into a parking spot by this truck and the both of you were getting out at the same time. You grabbed your bag that actually had a few clean clothes left in it but you had a feeling that you wouldn’t be in them or at bare minimum and you had a feeling that you would be wearing a lot of Kelly’s clothing. Kelly met you in front of your car and he gently grabbed your face but he smashed his lips hard against you and kissed you with so much passion and fire that it was knocking the breath out of you and making you weak in the knees. You answered his kiss with the same passion and fire and you only stopped when you felt a drop of rain fall on you. “Let’s get inside so I can make you scream and you can let everyone know who is pleasuring you.” He said in a low voice. The things he was saying to you was just building up the need for him.

“What are you waiting for?” You asked and he smirked.

“Fuck you shouldn’t have said that.” He said as he took your hand and hurriedly walked through the parking lot as soon as you stepped into the building the rain started to pour. He quickly rushed you both to the elevator and he aggressively pushed it, thankfully it was already on the lobby floor and as soon as the door opened, he was pulling you in, pressing the button for his floor and trapping your body against his and the wall. Bags falling to the ground. He was quick to attack your lips with a feverish kiss with one hand on the side of your head and the other holding your waist. When air was needed, he pulled away but his head was going into your neck as his hand that was on your face went to the wall to stabilize himself. You moved your head to give him better access and your eyes closed.

“Kels.” You moaned and let out a little yelp when he nipped your neck but then he was soothing it with his tongue which had you moaning louder and he smirked. The elevator suddenly stopped and the elevator opened and you two were quick to pull away and he was quick to stand next you. His elderly neighbor 6 doors down, Mrs. Wilder, got in.

“Kelly! It's so nice to see you.” She said and he smiled.

“Hello, Mrs. Wilder. We just got off work and we're spending time together.” He said and then she realized that you were standing there next to him.

“Oh, hi dear! I'm so sorry, I didn't introduce myself! I'm Anna Wilder. I live next to Kelly.” She said and you waved at her shyly.

“It's nice to meet you. I'm Y/N.” You said. Thankfully the ride wasn't much longer and before you knew it the doors were opening. Kelly picked up both of your bags and the three of you headed to his apartment while Mrs. Wilder went to hers. As soon as you were in you were being pushed against the door and he was kissing you and you followed suit. Teeth were clashing together as tongues battled for dominance. “Shower.” You said into his lips. 

“Jump.” He said and you did so and he walked you towards his bedroom and into the bathroom. He sat you on the counter and left you there you whined but he ignored you as he turned his shower to warm. Then he was bringing his attention back to you, kissing you. He grabbed the hem of your shirt and you nodded into the kiss and he was taking your shirt off and he only broke the kiss to do so. After he took off your shirt, he began to kiss you again and still continued to do so while he took off your pants leaving you only in your bra and underwear. Your hands went to his hips and you pulled him closer when he was close you worked on getting his belt buckle undone and his pants along with his underwear pushed down which he helped kick off. He took off his shirt and he bared to you and you hand went to his cock and started to jerk him off.

“Shower.” You murmured against his lips as you continued to jerk him off.

“But I love kissing you here.” He said pulling away to look at you in your eyes.

“I do too but I would like for you to make me scream.” You said and his pupils dilated even more than they were. You were quick to shed your bra and underwear and the two of you were jumping into the shower more like he was carrying you into the shower under the steaming water, warmth instantly hitting you and you moaned. Kelly gently sat you down and held you until you were secure on your feet and then he was kissing your neck and backing you against the wall. He ran his hands up and down your body until one of his hands got to where you needed him the most. He ran his fingers through your slick folds and made you moan. “Fuck, Baby. Keep that up.” You moaned again he bit your neck and you yelped but then he was soothing it with his tongue.

“I plan on it.” He said and slipped two thick digits into your entrance and you couldn’t contain your moan and he smirked. “That’s right, Baby. Let everyone know that I’m making you feel this good.” He said and moved his fingers in and out of you at a slow steady pace and it was making you see stars especially when he curled his fingers and hit your g-spot just right. His other hand came up and caressed one of your breasts and you couldn’t contain your moans. You knew he could make you feel good from your time in his quarters but this was a whole new level.

“Fuck me!” You shouted

“Who is making you feel this good?” He asked as he varied his speed, pumping his fingers in and out of you.

“You are.” You moaned and he gave a sharp thrust and you yelped.

“Say my name.” He said practically growling “Let everyone know.” He added.

“Kelly Severide is making me feel this good!” You said and he smirked.

“Good girl.” He said and that had you coming on his fingers. “Oh, I know now what turns you on.” He said, smirking again as you were coming down from your high. You watched him as he pulled his fingers out coated in your juices and brought them up his mouth and sucked on them until they were clean and you about came again right then and there.

“I need you Kels.” You said almost hoarsely and you knew by the time he was done with you that you were going to be hoarse.

“Your wish is my command.” He said as hiked your leg onto his hip and he guided his rock-hard cock that was leaking precum to your entrance. He pushed into you as the water gently washed over the two of you like a welcoming waterfall. As he pushed into you your eyes rolled into the back of your head and it fell to the back of the shower and you let out a pornographic moan. You knew he was big but it seemed like he had gotten bigger from the station to his apartment.

“Fuck me, Kelly!” You yelled out not being quiet in the least bit as he bottomed out. 

“That's right, Baby. Don’t be quiet. Let me hear that beautiful voice.” He said as he started to move once again stretching you and hitting you in all the right places. The bathroom and the shower were filled with steam both coming from the both of you and the heat of the shower.

“Feels so good!” You moaned out as he thrusted in and out of you.

“You’re making me feel good. Squeezing me so tight.” He moaned into your neck as he kissed, nipped, and licked you. 

“I’m not going to last.” You moaned loudly.

“Let it all out. Don’t hold back.” He said as he quickened his pace to an almost brutal pace but it was a welcomed pace. He grabbed your other leg and squeezed it and you got the hint and braced yourself on the slippery wall as he lifted you so he was holding all your weight. You wrapped your arms around his neck and buried your head into his neck. He continued to thrust into you and make you moan and shout and he didn’t care who heard his mission was to make you feel good. 

“FUCK! I’M GONNA COME!” You cried out as you came 

“I’m right behind you.” He said as you squeezed him making him cum painting your walls white for the second time that day. You buried your head into his neck and breathed heavily as you both came down from the high. He gently pulled out of you as he set you down cum was slowly dripping down but it was being washed away by the water. Both of you were worn out and neither of you said a word as you both washed each other until you were clean then he was turning the shower off and was toweling you off. 

“I love you.” You whispered not trusting your used voice to be any louder.

“I love you too.” He said as he held you for a few minutes and then the both of you were stepping out of the shower in towels. “Stay right there.” He said as he disappeared from the steamed-up bathroom. He soon returned in boxers and an extra pair and then one of his shirts and handed them to you. You slowly put the boxers on and then the shirt which came down to your knees. 

“How do I look?” You asked, smiling as he looked you up and down.

“Absolutely beautiful. You need to wear my clothing more often.” He said as he put a hand on your face and rubbed your cheek. “Come on, let's go cuddle on the couch and then I’ll throw in a pizza.” He said and you nodded. He took your hand and started to lead you out into the living room. He made you sit as he threw the pizza in and then he was coming to join you. You instantly cuddled into him and he pulled you into him and he turned on the TV. Neither of you said a word as you embraced each other and neither made a move to get up until he had to get the pizza out. He came back with a couple of beers which were already opened and handed you one as he sat the pizza on the coffee table in front of you. He resumed his position and so did you. As you ate and drank your thoughts kept coming back to Kelly and how good he made you feel more importantly jealous Kelly means jealousy sex that was wonderful.

Throughout the weekend there was plenty of sex going on and little clothing was worn. You also didn’t have to be quiet either there had been a few times Mrs. Wilder came by and asked if everything was ok and you had to tell you were as your cheeks burned bright red and Kelly was smirking. It was a really good thing that Chad had taken you home and came to the station. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be here with the man of your dreams. You would really have to thank him the next time you saw him. You loved Kelly and he loved you. You just wished you both had expressed your love for one another sooner especially when you knew the sex with him would be this good but now you had each other and weren’t going to let each other go anytime soon.

Yandere Taiju, Sanzu and Baji baby grappling their darling

I did a taiju one separately but Baji and Sanzu are very exciting

TW:YANDERE BEHAVIOR, NON-CON, DRUG MENTION, BREEDING KINK, BABY TRAPPING

Yandere!Sanzu Haruchiyo

He does love you, truly he is very devoted to you. But he is still himself and he has many faults that make it very hard for you to want to be with him.

For all his love you still come second to Mikey, "Only Mikey," is his argument, but it still stings knowing you're never the number one priority.

Next is how he lives on the edge, even by gangster standards, Sanzu is a bit much. The drugs and violence even have some top members of Bonten nervous.

And you wants a family. You want a safe neighborhood to live in, a beautiful house and children to raise and love. You want to be a wife and deep down you know... You can't be Sanzu's wife.

Not that he'll ever hear or accept that. No, you're only supposed to be with him. Forever. In his own way he tries to convince you, tries to show the life and luxuries he can afford for you, but none of the expensive dresses or five star hotels and gourmet meals make you feel like this is the man you can build a life with...

Sanzu knows it too. He can feel your hesitation whenever you're together, like you're dying to get away. And truthfully, he didn't want a family. He just wanted you. Children will get in the way, you'll love the baby more and they'll take up all of your attention.

But the thought of you wanting to leave is worse than the feeling of having to share sooo... He slips something in your drink. He does it rarely, only when you're starting to talk about wanting to move forward in life or when he doesn't want to hear you deny him nookie.

And you're soo cute like this, pliable and vulnerable. You can't argue with him when you're too out of it too even make more than a few sounds.

Don't worry baby, he'll take care of everything. Just relax and when he finally lets you sober up you'll have a baby in you.

Yandere! Baji Keisuke

Babygirl he wants it more than anything. Putting a baby in you is what gets him going 90% of the time now, the other 10% being the idea of making you his wife.

It happened when he saw you holding a baby, one of your friends, and he just loved the way you cooed and rocked the infant. Like you were made to do it.

Baji brings it up later, casually. "Looked like a real mom for a second there, Y/N. Think you could hack it?" "Uh, I dunno. I don't really think about it."

Oh, but he does. Constantly ever since that day, putting a baby in you is his favorite daydream. You holding a sweet infant with his hair and your eyes.

He's not subtle about it really, he forgoes condoms altogether whenever you two fuck now. "You're so fucking pretty when you're full of me baby," he's going to whisper in your ear, pumping you with everything he's got.

Breeding King, he's got you taking it from the back, from the front, on the couch in the bathtub and even on the kitchen counter. Always making sure to praise you, "Good girl, taking it all," "Gonna cum, make me a daddy-Fuck!" "You're gonna look sooo good, mama~!"

You try not to worry about it, you've got birth control right? But then Baji finds out about it, of course that idiot had no idea what it was.

"Wha'dya mean you're on the pill? Hell have I been breaking my back for!?"

Oof he does not like that he's been wasting his cum baby, he needs it to make you the perfect mama he dreams and wants. So of course without your knowledge or consent he throws it out.

"B-Baji! I need my phone so I can refill my prescription!" "No. You don't need anything that's gonna keep me and you from making our baby."

And now you're not leaving the house, talking to your friends or even allowed to look out the window. Nothing that distracts you from doing what you were made for.

"C'mon, Mama. Don't pout. This is what we both want."

[lvndrdaaze]

GANG OMG I GOT AN IDEA.

Okay okay okay mkaaayyy sososo what if...

Diluc.

I'LL SING YOUR FAVORITE SONG FOR YOU IF YOU DO IT!!!!

—🎶🎼🎵 ANON

wooooo i finished uni this week!!! so i'll be back to writing a lot more over the next few weeks i think (*^‿^*)

also...Diluc (┳◇┳)

just for you bestie, i wrote something soft and feelsy for Diluc (is this a little yandere? i can't tell oof)

(p.s idk what my favourite song is, but Hard Times by Paramore always reminds me of Diluc sooo.... (・ω<) )

Diluc SFW Alphabet - I

(SFW, gn!reader, no warnings as far as I can tell?)

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It took Diluc months after first meeting you to develop feelings for you, and then even longer to become aware of them, being as repressed as he is.

It started with a feeling of quiet whenever you were around, the sense that he was a man free of burdens whenever you were near.

This, he simply attributed to the close friendship he had found in you, one which he hadn't experienced in years. That was the logical answer.

These feelings evolved into a desire to be around you more, to see you smile, even to be the reason for it.

But the more time went by, the more these feelings grew. He could hardly go a day without seeing you. His chest felt heavy whenever you weren't around.

He fought to hide the smile that came over his face whenever you entered the room, so thankfully, few people noticed.

But then, every feeling of warmth he got around you grew so intense, that he could hardly hide it any longer.

His expression would change the moment you entered a room. He would listen with rapt attention to whatever you were talking about, no matter how unimportant. He would purposefully spend time around you, delaying his responsibilities for more time by your side.

Kaeya noticed, Jean noticed, even Venti noticed. He was a different person whenever you were around. Lighter, less troubled by his past.

Eventually, after months, he had to finally admit it to himself.

He was falling for you.

For several months, he kept the information to himself, insisting to himself and the others that it was for your own protection. That being seen with him could put you in danger.

But really, he was terrified of the intensity of his own feelings.

The immense rage he felt when someone else looked at you the wrong way.

The profound happiness he felt when you sought him out to spend your time with him.

The unbearable jealousy when you showed that perfect smile to anyone besides him.

He had no idea what he might do if you didn't feel the same way, where he would put all of these feelings if not into you.

Everything built, the feelings fermenting in his chest until he felt he might burst, until one day when he couldn't take it anymore.

He finally confessed to you.

Everything came out, the way you made him feel, the blazing passion that you had set alight in him.

And then, he spoke the words that he had finally realised to be true from the absolute bottom of his heart.

"I'm in love with you."

Day 5 - Socialization Day

Most people woke up moderately refreshed and ready to take on the day. However, some others, like Enzo (RB), got up on the wrong side of bed today...

Enzo has become increasingly irritable over the living conditions at the film lost these past few days, but this is the first time he's taken his building frustration out on somebody. He argues with Toni (RB) over her position as the team captain.

However, Paulina (RB) on the other hand is beginning to branch out her social reach and began getting to know Liana (RB)!

Despite tensions on the first day, Hans (IS) and Coffee (IS) managed to find common ground between each other and are now on... let's just say- "fair terms." Coffee doesn't trust Hans entirely, but Hans seems willing to get to know her now that they're teammates. After their loss, Hans is keen on keeping the strongest competitors around and so far Coffee has proved fruitful in Hans' eyes.

Enzo's irritability is temporarily quelled when he scoots up close to Paulina (RB) 👀 These two quite like each other are becoming closer by the day. Enzo loves Paulina's sweetness and Paulina loves his charm and his kindness. Our two nosy-nellies Flo (IS) and Takashi (IS) made sure to witness all the hand-holding and sweet words exchanged between them!

But with Enzo's temper slowly becoming more unstable by the day, will this budding pair hold together? Oof... Even I don't know!

Meanwhile, Ashlee (IS) began interacting with her teammates more today, making friendly chit-chats with Flo and Takashi (you can totally tell she's trying her best to put on the most genuine fake smile for Flo). And later, Ashlee weaved her way to her primary alliance target Hans to show him what she's all about, and it looks like Hans quite liked it!

Neal (RB) decided to take the day off and spend his day alone by the campfire. He was the only contestant to not interact directly with anybody today, but he did share his company with Drew (IS) and Ashlee at the end of the day when they all decided to relax with a book!

Today's Confessional: Flo Harper

"Who knew Takashi was also good at getting the scope on things? With him around, the two of us can dish out all the little secrets the Big-Names are hiding. Enzo and Paulina wasn't the only thing we discovered. We also know that Toni, Liana, and Willabelle are buddying up with each other too. Oh- and those three also like Neal."

"If we beat them again in the next challenge, it's gonna be sooo bad for them. I can't wait to see it!"

RUN TO YOU

𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 : reader x seungcheol,reader x mingyu (NOT A POLY !)

𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲 : office au. boss x worker,co workers,fluff,smut,comfort,hurt,angst.

𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 : few curse words. mentions about past sex (no actual smut scenes) that’s it.

𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 : this is purely fiction. i have no intentions in sexualising any artist. just for entertainment purposes. let me know if you want to be tagged !

series list , episode1 , episode3

episode2.

you’re fucked. its just the first day and you’re already running late because you wanted to fuck some random hot guy. and you messing up the train hasn’t helped you at all.

but damn here you are standing infront of this building that has god knows how many floors,shining through your eyes just like it did 7 years ago. this was your dream company. you worked so hard in college and internships so you could finally work under this brand business. and to think that you kinda messed up your first day..well it’s fine you’re just late by what..5 minutes OH FUCK 15 MINUTES ALREADY.

“good morning. where’s the meeting for freshers being conducted ?”

“good morning to you too. its in the 8th floor. you’ll have a board directing you. have a good day,all the best” says the receptionist with the hugest smile.

it’s all the little things that could actually make you feel positive the whole day.

well well well you feel your body heat up with anxiety when you see the room already filled with people and the meeting has already started.

trying to get inside with no traces of entering “OUH” here we go,you just got your pinky toe hit by one of the chairs. being twenty four and nothing could change your clumsiness,truly.

“i’m sorry haha” you respond to all the eyes that’s on you silently sitting next to someone.

“hi” he whispers. you just nod because you can’t afford to have your name called out right after what you did.

“i’m mingyu !” he whispers again glancing at your direction.

“y/n” you just smile and nod once again. the speech started again distracting you both.

“that’s all the information you all would need. the teams would be split based on the department with one senior head. hopefully you guys would enjoy your job. feel free to contact us anytime.” oh she’s done.

having your little convo with mingyu,who is apparently in the same business field as you,your ceo comes by reading your name tags.

“good luck to both of you for getting into the business team in such a young age.” she says with an elegant smile.

“you both will be assisted by your head,my son- just a minute- SEUNGCHEOL !!” she turns back and waves at a guy..oh god..OH GOD.

your eye’s physically widens. throat drying. you’re about to cry. no way..no way you just fucked your ceo’s son the night before..didn’t you..

his eyes meets yours and you see his widen too after seeing you. you just divert looking away.

“keep talking to them sweetie,i’ll go and meet up with the next team” she smiles at the three of you and walks away.

“sooo hi to mingyu aanddd y/n who was late on her first day of work..because?” you’re fucked up,again.

you just awkwardly smile at him because WHO WOULD’VE EVER THOUGHT.

smirking he just leads you both to your work space,talking about what you’ll be doing,about work and all that. you could feel his stare on the corridors,the lift,the working area,the EVERYWHERE.

well who would’ve thought your first day would be this way.

“so this is where we will be working. you can find all the files inside the lockers on floor 3. i’ll be on and off so you can just contact me through the official number. for now i’m leaving.” he winks at you and you just look down at the speed of a thunder. oof atleast he’s gone.

“what’s with you and mr.choi ?”

whipping your head at mingyu’s direction you just freeze because..yeah..no.

“nothing. i’m just anxious i think.”

“cool. anyways can i have your number??”

“HUH”

“what ! we’re going to work together until how many ever years we’ll need it come on.”

“uh yeah right haha” at this point you’re just fake laughing at anything and everything because you still can’t process what happened the whole day.

to be honest everything else about this day was good. the office was amazing,just like you thought. you were going to work under something that you loved,fashion.

you loved fashion business and your parents were terribly against it. but god you fought. fought so bad to be here. to do something you love.

and mingyu was a good guy too. he was talkative,a good company and you were satisfied of everything except one. seungcheol.

Hicvember 25: Someone Else's OC

Thanks to the random OC wheel made by the lovely mademoisellekalopsia, I have been assigned @hiccupscloud-26's Indyko! I've really been enjoying the high-speed, super varied way that they write hiccups, but I'm not super confident in my ability to replicate it, so we'll see what we can do.

Content: Hiccups, slight discomfort, flirting, weight gain (mentioned, positive), arousal

"Uh, h–*NK* hey! Hey Ca–*HUP* Callie! *HNK-llk!* I'm, uh, I'm re–*HEEK* recording thi–*IC*–is 'cause *UCK*...w-well, beca–*HUK* because I got th–*HAK* the hiccups! *HLK-llp!* Uh, hope y–*HOOP* you don't mind tha–*ULK* that it's aud–*EEK*–o only.

As the recording went on, most of it was just Indyko's loud hiccups, interspersed with groans, sighs, or mumbled exclamations. Very occasionally they would comment on something, such as "D-dunno if you he–*URK* heard that one. It thu–*HUMP* thumped in my che–*HUK-URK* chest really h---hard," or "*HMK! HLK! HNKLK! HRKUP!

Eventually, Indy's hiccups started to wind down, slowing more and more until they petered out completely. It took a few minutes for them to notice that they weren't hiccuping anymore. "Huh. Guess they went as randomly as they came. Whoof. Just as well, I'm pretty tuckered out from all that. But, uh..." a smile was audible in their voice. "Totally worth it though. And when I see you later you'll be all 'how are you?' and I can say 'Oh man, I got a serious case of the hiccups today!' and you're gonna blush like crazy...ehehehee...I can't wait. Love you, Callie. See you soon."

Indyko wasn't sure what compelled them to listen to the recording after it was done, but they surprised themself with just how much they were blushing, as well as how...other parts of their body had started reacting. That could wait though. If they were going to take care of that, they'd like it if they got to do it with their girlfr—with their fiance instead. So they hit send, the audio file appearing between their texts with a headphones emoji, a winky face, and a bubbles emoji below it. And they grinned, thinking about the look on Calliope's face when she finally heard it.

8, 17, 44, 85?

HELLOOOWW thank u for the ask :33

8. movies or tv shows?

i much prefer movies cuz it already takes me like 2-3 business days to watch movies cuz i get distracted so easily, i have been interrupted or i start them when i am procrastinating. i love how indepth shows go but the amount of shows i started and 90% of those are not finished is embarrassing LMAOOO

17. most frequently worn pair of shoes?

since i have a school uniform, technically my school shoes. specifically my pe shoes, i dont even know the brand tbh, i just know they had a purple accent and are black. i wore them outside of school too, literally everywhere and a few weeks ago i have gotten them replace because i have gotten to the point of having a DEEP hole in the backing support for the ankle ?? and even the front. i wish my answer for this was doc martens or smth like that instead LMAOOOO

44. favorite scent for soap?

OOF. chocolate. cocoa and vanilla smth like that. it doesn't even apply to soap, it applies to everything. i want to smell like chocolate i want to taste like it i want to have its rizz I WANNA BE CHOCOLATE. i am saying this as someone who currently does not have chocolate scented soap and i am yearning and missing it

85. fairy tales or mythology?

mythology, there's so much to learn and SOOO so many things to read about, and i love finding out or trying to figure out on my own how they even started, and they often represent cultures (well fairy tales too but imo mythology represents it in a bit deeper way) which is an additional bonus

[reshiram]

You know one thing I love about Seofon alter/other/ whatever we eventually end up calling him is the fact we get to see what character traits of Seofon carry over between worlds

For Example Seofon's pride :

???: "My name is... Hm. I forgot what I was called during my mortal days. You may refer to me as a god."

This is his introduction to Seofon during his fate episode and it's pretty similar to how he introduces himself to evil Six Dragons during the Anniversary Event

But one thing to notice is the fact that his ingame title is "The Sword Saint of the Sea of Stars" and his fight title during the the event is called "The Apostle of the Sea of Stars".

AnoSeofon isn't a god at all he's just follows in the footsteps of one. He's immensely cocky for good reasons of course, but yet is still unable to get or be who he wants to be which is why he's bitterness incarnate.

yup! he's very prideful no matter what... little lion... 🦁 i've thought about that line a lot actually, and how there's a few ways to interpret it... don't mind if i ramble a bit here!

1.) he's truly forgotten his name, and by extension, what he once was. we don't know how time flows in the boundary... what could be a minute there could be many years in reality, or it could be a split second... but regardless, time does flow differently there for sure (it's where all timelines converge, so...). how that impacts a human body (no matter how tough seofon is), is also an unknown, but i would imagine that it's pretty stressful! i imagine your mind deteriorates with all that... which is pretty angsty.... oof. alternate seofon does not have it good! and that's before we even get to the fact his world fell apart (as well as everyone he ever had a chance of loving/caring for). in his third birthday message to captian, he forgets who they are, but he is somewhat aware of them... it takes him a good second before he goes "sorry. not really interested in you or the world!" so... i think... memories are fickle in the sea of stars. i could get into how tapping into the boundary and bringing out captain's Most Powerful Potential Self in MSQ also nearly erased them from existence. but point is - the boundary has some nasty side effects for messing with/residing within it. fun!

2.) he was toying with our seofon. being haughty if you will. he knows who he is, but he won't tell seofon (or rather, 4th wall break, THE VIEWER! DUN DUN DUN!!!!)... alternate seofon's thing is being a tormenting force to our seofon. which is lovely. or horrible. who knows! but yeah, he totally could be trying to just frighten and/or tick off our seofon. "i'm you. you're me. i don't need to say any more. you know this." kind of deal.

3.) some sort of combination of the above (forgetting, AND wanting to upset our seofon).

4.) "what are your pronouns" "no, they aren't :) don't refer to me" kind of vibes... this one is a joke for the record. had to throw it in there because i've said this before in a similar discussion.

back to the topic at hand though. claiming to be a god is real bold. especially considering what gods mean in the world of granblue fantasy. it's reserved for bahamut, and... whatever else is equivalent to him (staring deeply at the moon... what were they cooking?). deities exist. godlike being exists. primals exist (of course). but... God. with a big G, is a very special thing in granblue. alternate seofon is not that. nope. not even close. sadly. as cool as it'd be.

let's take a closer look at saint + apostle real quick.

a saint is a person, keyword being PERSON AKA HUMAN with holy attributes applied to them. usually recognised by a church or higher authority. so in this case it would be whatever "sits beyond the boundary" (food for thought. it's called the sea of stars aka the boundary aka estalucia aka... the holy SEAT of genesis sooo you get it? seat? what sits beyond the boundary? makes sense to me!)

⬆ this has been my trophy since and you's first run. Hehe.

also mentioned here.

an apostle is someone who was sent on a mission, usually holy. that's the literal definition. and we see in and you that alternate seofon believes himself to be on a mission to purge the world and create a new one. whether that's of his own will or someone else's... hard to tell! since he's nearly one with with it anyway.

(i want to know who the first apostle was, also. so badly. Dying to know cygames, please contact me via email)

but... he isn't 100% fully it. it's just an almost... which leads into your point of him "still unable to get or be who he wants to be" aka not being a God... ^7^

which is. really sad actually, all things considered. throwing this line from alternate seofon's fate episode as well, this time from Our seofon!

yikes... even when he's happy, TRULY HAPPY, he still is tied down.

some other lines to throw out there. that make me die inside.

predetermined destiny and struggling against the current. doesn't seem good. seems bad things are bound to always happen to seofon. seems... he can never truly be true to himself. guy doomed by fate itself. i want to know why so bad. poor bug.

tl;dr i need to explode. always. my apologies for this ramble...? chew on it. or don't. appreciate your ask and input a lot. :]

[tummyisyummy]

Hello there Yukiblob (or just Yuki? I'm a little unsure, sorry...) Hope all is well in your life!

Saw you were doing an ask game so I've got a few questions! ✨, 🥊, and ♥️ for Theodora, Levi, and Ziya? Hopefully that's not too much, but if it is, maybe just 🥊 for all three?

Hi hi you can call me whatever u like 🤗

❤️-what is your ocs best memories

✨-how did u come up with the ocs name

🥊-what do they love to do? What do they hate to do

Theodora

❤️- she doesn’t have much due to her just fighting her whole life but her best memories are with baby Levi!! She used to babysit him when Dahila was still super injured . She loved taking care of him because he was adorable (lmao was) She loved playing with him and creating cool fighting scenarios . She loves seeing him grow into a fine young man and is super proud of who he became. She cherishes all of moments with Levi.

✨- I was talking with some friends on discord and I had to quickly give her a name because they were asking for it 🧍🏽‍♀️Not the coolest way but it’s a nice name 🤷🏽‍♀️

🥊- she loves to fly (lol of course she does) it feels nice to soar in the air looking down on the terrain ,where your the only one there and just your thoughts and wind in your ears. Anyways she hates taking care of Vasilios🤦🏽‍♀️

Levi

❤️- He has so many 😊😊 His best memory was on his 15th birthday! Idk if I’m getting this right in the BC universe at 15 you’re technically an adult. Sooo Dahila being the good mom that she is decides to pass down her sword to him ! It is (and will forever be) the best gift he ever received. He will forever treasure that sword and one day will pass it down to his kids ( if they decide to be swordsman).(yes he also cried)

✨- I think the name just slowly appeared in my head . Idk how but I guess imaging whole story lines in your mind does things to you.

🥊- he loves to chill and hangout with his friends! It’s always nice to relax and talk about nothing with your bros( bros being just Mathew lmao) He hates doing chores for Sister Marget( not my oc this is HybridanaFrost’s oc) according to Levi she’s “very mean and took my seasoning 😠”) It’s not like he will tell her though.

Ziya

❤️- oof he surprisingly has one. On his birthday the golden dawn surprised him for his birthday!!! It was his second birthday there and by that time he has done so much for the GD. It was mimosa’s and Klaus’s idea to do it and they decided to recruit the rest of them. He will forever treasure that day since it’s the nicest thing anyone has done for him!!

✨- I saw the name while looking for a Roblox username. I’ve never forgot it since because it’s such a beautiful name !! Like I imagined having a pretty character with that name and I decided to make him 🤗

🥊- He loves to hang out with his animal friends and garden!! It’s super relaxing to him😆 He hates going on missions with Langris or Alecdora. He can’t stand them and they can’t stand him 🤷🏽‍♀️

20 Questions More

This is a deeper and more detailed version of the 20 questions for AO3 fanfic writers. @nottawriter hit me with a tag, I have been attacked lol.

1) How do you keep getting ideas for your ship / fandom? A dash of shower thoughts, with a pinch of I watched a movie and couldn't help but think... Yes, that will work. They often feel like the come from nowhere.

2) Which authors inspire you in your fandom, and why are they so freakishly good? That's not fair how dare you ask me this!!!! Uhhh I'm mostly reading Supercorp stuff these days sooo... @jazzfordshire, @mycatismyeditor, @fazedlight, @innamorament0, @scribblingpunk, @fyonahmacnally to name a few. AAAAND my co-author and a vast array of things @tomatopudding! Why? Idk, I just get drawn a lot to these works and think they're lovely, and I love their depictions of these characters I love.... with @tomatopudding we just vibe very well, sharing the same five brain cells helps.

3) Aside from the characters of your main ship, who are the characters you love to write? If we're talking Supergirl... That's so hard, but I might have to say Brainy and Nia if really pressed... and Alex. I really enjoy Alex.

Otherwise, my other faves include all of the Les Amis from Les Miserables (if you know you know), specifically Courfeyrac and Marius and their hilarious dynamic. Other faves include Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton, Eponine Thenardier and... This could go on for a very long time, are you sure you have time?

4) Are there pairings or tropes you know for sure you’d never write about? Which ones? Not putting Kara and Lena together just makes me sad... So Supercorp ftw all the way, they are my top (I am a lot more amenable in other fandoms I've written for)

Tropes... I'm unlikely to do Omega-verse, I haven't done it and I can't see myself starting even if I sometimes read it.

5) What is your writing process and why is it cursed?

When I worked in retail I wrote on stupid little scraps and probably lost about 75% of them. Sometimes the method is hand writing, and then typing and making edits during that process as well. The handwritten can vary drastically from the typed draft lol.

I tend to fly by the seat of my pants unless someone is keeping me in line. I'm pretty darn chaotic.

I doubt myself a lot, so I always think whatever I write is garbage no matter how much proof there is that's not true. Also, sometimes I get burnt out, or my muse dies and then I feel terrible. Yay.

6) What is your favorite part of your writing process? Falling down rabbit holes, looking into fun topics. Likely ending up on a government watch list for the stuff I've searched up over the years

7) What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to research for a fic? Uhhh.... hmm. I have no idea what the weirdest is lol. Cause it's on my mind, probably looking up what types of wood are easiest to chop, and why. (There is definitely weirder, but I don't remember right now).

8) Is there a particular writing rule you struggle with (grammar, spelling, tense, reality in general)? Commas. They hate me, and I hate them.

9) What was your hardest scene to write so far and why? Oof. Uhhh... This is so hard! Honestly there is a lot of stuff in my co-written very long series Hamilton Family Album that was *a lot* between research and feels.

Especially when you're co-author hits you with unexpected feels out of nowhere that you weren't anticipating (YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID).

10) Have your characters ever done something you didn’t expect, changing your plot completely? Of course, they have. It happens all the time.

11) If you could converse with any of the characters, who would it be and why? Ohhh... Hands down Kara and Lena, I wish they could be my friends and we could hang out. Why? I think that they are absolutely incredible, wonderful and I could just sing their praises for ever.

12) What are some of the tropes or themes that you find yourself returning to in your writing? Oooo, I'm a sucker for fluffy romances, and I've been dabbling in smut recently. Other themes for me can be like found family is a really popular one for me.

Since I've written both a lot of Les Mis and Hamilton stuff (among other similar things) I've done a lot of "Modern AU's" as well, which are uhhh varied to say the least. If I can treat anything they way the treat most Shakespeare pieces these days I do it.

13) What’s your most important resource as a writer? Asking for help! Soundboarding with other writers, I love doing it. It helps me make sense of my ideas... Or decide they're maybe too out there (almost never lol)

14) Can you share some of your strategies for editing and revising your work? Reading it out loud, I have a hard time noticing errors otherwise. Asking someone you trust to look it over as well, take your time and double and triple check if you're unsure about something.

15) Which is worse: making the summary, picking the tags, or the anxiety when you post your fic? D. All of the Above

16) How do you define success for your fanfic - hits? Kudos? Comments? Bookmarks? Or just if you like it? I try to just write for myself, usually because I haven't seen something like it and think it should exist. I do really enjoy getting comments if only because I'm always curious to hear what readers think about my work.

17) Do you have a playlist for your favorite character / ship? I don't, and if I did it would be odd... I'm the most massive theater nerd. I do have songs that I think fit the vibes, and some shows I listen to have more apt things than others. Or if it's Les Mis it's the whole dang album lol.

Supercorp things if anyone is curious (and wondering how odd it could get): Mercury Rising from Lizzie, Come Home With Me, Anyway the Wind Blows, Wait for Me and Wedding Song from Hadestown, In A Crowd of Thousands from Anastasia, Origin of Love from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Maybe I introduced you to something fun today.

18) If fan art was going to be made from your work, which fic would you pick and which fan artist would you like to create it? Oh dear... I don't know. The thing I'd love to see art for isn't up yet and I just think it would be fun but it will be called What Was I Made For... And we're gonna leave at that for now.

19) How many WIPs do you currently have? I'm finishing up You've Got New Followers (One chapter left!), I think three other WIP's (two more plotted than others) and my WIP for May-Hem... So five?

20) What’s your advice to new fanfic writers? Don't be afraid just because you've never done it before. That's why fanfic is amazing. You can do what you want and in reality no one can stop you, just make sure you're having fun.

Tagging but no pressure: @tomatopudding and @innamorament0

[agirlandherquill]

(This is alwri-tes because you can't send an ask from a sideblog oof-) Your writing snippets are sooo good! Are they part of a larger story? If so, what is the overview of this story?

allow me to just make sure my quill's filled with ink - oh, it is? right then, here I go,

hi! thank you so much for asking this - and to answer it, yes, my writing snippets are part of a larger story (or in my case two, which I will explain momentarily) - before joining tumblr about two months ago i had never heard someone use the term 'writing snippets' except for myself, so thank you writeblr for the giggle it gives me every time i see it - anywho, moving on to the larger story, well technically stories;

there are two novels from which i take snippets and post:

'Ruin's Reprisal' - the posts that include the title and usually a chapter number stem from this

The second is 'A Deal of Daggers' - this one is a little trickier for me to reference a chapter seeing as i'm in the stage of what I like to call joyful chaos, I have a scrivener document stuffed to the brim with snippets, some short, others significantly larger, as you can probably tell from the varying lengths of my posts; I haven't yet gotten around to writing this novel in order, seeing as I'm undergoing a complete rewrite of what was an incomplete manuscript (an incomplete 500-paged manuscript, may i add), but I'm slowly getting around to doing so,

and to respond to the second question - the overviews: Ruin's Reprisal is undergoing edits at the moment, i'm roughly on chapter 7/42, but in terms of plot it's there, it's all good to go and eager to be spilled from the confines of my mind and the very large scrivener doc (I'm at 210k words at this moment in time), and so without further ado, the overview:

'Disgrace. Servant. Murderer.

Three people with nothing in common, except that they were wronged.

And now, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. Which means taking the one thing that their society rests on; its sins, its saints, its deaths and broken dreams.

The unlikely band of criminals are going to steal the crown.

Everything depends on one heist. Take the crown. Free themselves.

Will any of them survive? Or will they fall to the country that took everything from them? 

Only time will tell.

And they’re running out of it.'

incredibly vague I know, but it's a little blurb i enjoyed coming up with, and as for the plot, well, that's slowly unravelling itself on Tumblr, as and when I find myself with the time to write, but one day hopefully I'll be an indie author - knowing me i'll stick the novel on ao3, (wouldn't be the first time), or if I get incredibly lucky, a published one,

but truth be told, 'Ruin's Reprisal' has grown up with me, it's been a labour of love since around 2019 I believe, it's undergone many, many changes, and I only completed the first draft as part of nanowrimo last year (and then some, I completed the full draft on New Year's Eve which was funny timing) and it's a story of loss, of growth, discovery and new beginnings - something that relates a little to the likes of youth itself, and there are moments in this story when the characters lose it, and in all honesty, I did too, but it's thriving and I hope to complete the novel by the summer (a rather ambitious deadline I might add, not to mention the many I've tried and surpassed long ago),

and as for 'A Deal of Daggers', i came up with the idea a couple of years ago, I wanted to write something a little darker than 'Ruin's Reprisal', with characters that had more matureness, more rawness to their beings, I craved a story that left me clinging to my keyboard for dear life at times as I wrote it and in many ways, it has. Even though it's a skeleton idea, it has cemented its place in my heart for eternity, and the more I write the more I come to love it and the characters, Reid and Isolde, to name the main few.

As for the overview, well, as I mentioned before it's in a state of joyful chaos, but, I can tell you it involves a contract, a murder, a betrayal, treason and of course danger - dangers of the heart included, because who doesn't adore a little tension every now and then?

and as a final note I'd like to say thank you, not only for asking this but for liking my writing too, this goes to everyone who has seen my posts and enjoyed them - there's nothing nicer than knowing that not only do I enjoy something that I do, but others enjoy it too,

and so I will send this off into the world of writeblr and disappear back into the fever-dream of life, scrivener, chaos and music forever playing in my ears,

~ A Girl and Her Quill

GET CLOVERED MOTHER SHUCKER

NEHEHEH

Okay, break from the fish talk show. Time to talk about my week! That's a very pretty clover btw.

Okay so first off, I did join the Narrator Swap discord for the month of June and I posted my first art for it two days ago. That has been super fun and I can't wait to get my partner for next week!!!

Now the big thing was yesterday. Because yesterday was my oldest brother's birthday and he wanted to bring us to a convention, so some of us joined him for that, myself included. I don't know if this is surprising or anything, but this was the first big convention I've ever been to and my goodness, it sure was something. I didn't know a whole ton about the convention going in so I didn't go to any of the panels. (Though my sister in law told me they had a Sandman panel, but I lowkey forgot and only remembered 30 minutes after the panel started. Pretty upset about that). Anyways! I did end up getting some cool things, though most of what was being sold seemed to be more anime focused there were some other cool things I found.

I ended up getting two charms, an Ineffable Husbands one for myself and a Dreamling one for my sister. I also go a really cute Blackbonnet print signed by the artist (it's so cute!!), a little sewn keychain of my favorite little dragon Figment, a really cute Ponyo sweater, and an adorable strawberry frog keyboard for my computer (cuz I really needed a new one).

So overall, a super fun experience!! I definitely have determined that next time I go to a big con I definitely need to look into everything happening the day I'm going and figure out what events I want to participate in. Also, I should probably try to finish up some of my more casual cosplays, such as the Narrator or the RK900 hoodie I've been very slowly working on. This is because I went to this con in my Ghostbusters cosplay. Since I had a proton pack I couldn't have my backpack with me, which got kinda annoying when I had some downtime and didn't have my sketchbook to draw in. So more casual cosplays would work best for me.

Another thing I've discovered. I walk really poorly. My legs and ankles are so sore right now because of how I walk and how much I was walking yesterday. I realized a few hours in as my feet were starting to hurt, that I walk in such a way that I have a little bit of a limp and it puts a lot of strain on my left leg. Along with that, when walking my ankles are very fluid in their movements in such a way that I tend to put more pressure on the outer edge of my feet. In short. I'm super unbalanced and it wrecks my ankles when I walk like this for a while. So. Oof. This explains why every once in a while one of my ankles kind gives out and I either fall or almost fall. It's very rare, but it happens sometimes. Don't really know what to do about that other than trying to be more conscious of how I'm walking.

So that's about if for con related stuff I guess, though this next thing is a tiny bit related I guess. I have noticed recently, both on Tumblr and at the con, that Trigun Stampede is really popular right now. I don't know much about the anime though my sister did show me an episode or two of the original Trugun series. I did notice a lot of really cool art of Vash while at the con, along with some amazing cosplaysm there was this one person selling the cutest little tiny acrylic standees of him and I kinda wanted one, but I felt like it would be kinda weird to get art of a character from a fandom I'm not in. Anyways, this whole thing has a point. That being, I talked to my sister about it and she said I definitely should watch both Trigun series, sooo.... might end up doing that in my free time. I will probably start with the original Trigun then watch Stampede, cuz that just makes sense to me. I don't know how into it I will get, but I guess we will have to see.

I will have you know you most likely won't have to worry about me dropping TSP since I have a lot of people, both friends and you guys, keeping me into it. So don't worry!! I will not stop drawing TSP art for a long while!!! I just thought that would be important to say.

But yeah, that's kinda been the hughlights of my week. Fun things :)

[carmenized-onions]

First of all, happy (late) birthday! Wishing you health, wealth, and many more years 🎂

Second of all, I cried lol

I loved how you jumped between the aftermath of what happened on Friday and seeing the development of Chip’s relationship with everyone at The Beef. It’s giving Season 3, Ep 1 vibes with all the flashbacks and that was my favorite episode of the season, so yay ✨

It was sooo cool to see how you used the original scene where Mikey shows Tina the picture that Carmy sends him from Copenhagen and seeing how Chip would fit in that moment AND the confrontation between Carmy and David

“I just-I just made the-The only fuckin’ good thing in my life leave…” P A I N

Also, Carmen not being able to confidently say that he wouldn’t have taken the bait of giving the Exec Chip’s number…oof

You know what? Chip is 10000% correct about the whole Christmas dinner shitshow, like why didn’t anyone defend Mikey? Everyone kept telling him not to throw the fork, not to engage, but Lee started it! I think the only person who told Lee to shut the fuck up was Uncle Jimmy but it was a half-hearted effort at best

Seeing the moment when Mikey calls her Chip, after learning about the weight of being nicknamed Jack…and then the line “He will never realize that you consider the exchange equal”…yeah my heart can’t take this

WAIT, Chip started doing research on wine pairings to impress Syd?! oh this makes them growing apart for a few years even more painful...it should’ve been them all along bro like who tf is Carmen? Don’t know him.

I appreciate the “that’s what she said” joke thrown in there 🫶🏼

“‘I’m not gonna forget you love me, Chip.’ and neither of you know this is a lie, yet.” and now I’m sad again

The entire exchange between Carmy and Richie was so heartbreaking, especially when Richie hits him with “if that’s what your love is, I don’t want it and I don’t want it for Chip, either” like DAMN

“…he might as well tear his hair out because there’s no reason for it anymore if you’re not in it.” oh my guy is going THROUGH IT

The freezer scene with Mikey…yeah that was rough. Like I never really thought about just how bad Mikey got. Obviously, bad enough to the point of taking his own life, but I never pictured the moments leading up to that. The pain of withdrawals, the feelings of shame that come with relapsing. The emotional toll that it takes on everyone who loves the person that is struggling with addiction, really going through the highs and the lows with them. And the parallels between the brothers, too! Carmy and Mikey having some of the lowest moments in their lives play out in the same freezer with Chip and Richie being there for both 💔 AND the foreshadowing of the door handle breaking off one day because of how hard Mikey was pulling on it…you’re a genius fr

“Do I look like a fucking milf, what the fuck is going on —“ Not Uncle Jimmy thinking they were having a kid lol

“I don’t want to choose between her and my career. If that’s what getting a star takes, I don’t want it.” okay I think we’ve been focusing on the wrong love interest for Chip. I see the vision now, and Carmy’s not in it

The scene with Eva was so cute and then I get hit with “You’re gonna break your neck Mike. I don’t want to plan your funeral.” EVIL

“You will not realize he is trying to make things clean and square, until it is too late.” “You think Mikey has a future, still. Mikey knows he doesn’t.” Both of these stabbed me in the chest and I haven’t recovered, just fyi

Mikey wanting, needing Chip to promise him that she’ll talk to Carmy when he comes back because he knows she’s good for his soul…😔 (wait I think you said to remind you about Mikey and fire a few chapters back when I said he was playing matchmaker? I’m seated)

I love that despite still being upset with Carmen for being a dick to Chip, Richie and Syd decide to help him help himself because he’s CLEARLY in desperate need of an intervention

“He’s gonna be your man, and he’s going to fucking earn that title. He’s going to prove it.” When I tell you I’m EXCITED. Rooting for him ✨

okay being completely honest, the last portion of this chapter was really moving. It was so fucking sad to read their last phone call. But what actually made me cry was “He said he would come home and you believed him because he never lied to you before.” She set his things on a tray because he said he would come home. She fell asleep on the couch, waiting up for him because he said he would come home. Yeah. That totally didn’t break me just a little 🥲

This really has been your best chapter so far, 10/10 💜

Thank you for the birthday wishes! Sorry for the crying! But also maybe you’re welcome? Also I’m begging everyone to read this ask/answer because this is like. My director’s commentary of this chapter and i want you to play the fucking dvd extras that is this series. please.

I had Mikey’s scenes planned for so long, and I was planning on putting them all like, back to back with each other, travelling through time. And then S3EP01 came out and i was like oohhhh i could be a little spicy?? I could be a little timey wimey weird? Had a lot of fun that way. 

S3 really gifted me with those two scenes to work with, because I HAD planned something similar with Mikey and Chip to the Tina and Mikey scene, but the way they did it in the show was SO much better i had to yoink it. AND they let me know exactly how Carmen would react one on one with fucking david so that’s. Ah. the timing was genuinely insane of S3 coming out pretty soon after Just Dropped, ,,, in s y n c

I shant say anything about the number because as the end of the chapter puts it, they told each other everything I wrote down. So Chips gonna have some…… thoughts about all that. 

Chip’s whole dialogue about the Christmas Dinner was my own therapy. I was getting so fucking hyphy watching that scene. I dunno man. I’ve always stuck up for MY older brother when he gets thrown shit. WHY THE FUCK WAS IT ON MIKEY TO CALM DOWN?? HE’S NOT BEING ALL THAT UNREASONABLE?? BEAT HIS (uncle lee’s) ASS!!!!!!!!!! 

The big like, through line I took from Mikey’s character is that he feels as though he is made to give to other people, and so when Chip is the one giving back to HIM he’s like. Oh I guess I’m not the giver here. I’m simply taking. And that’s how relationships work. Someone always has to lose. And simply never realizes that there can be relationships where the burden is fucking shared. 

…berzatto men share a lot of the same brain chemicals. 

Everyone go scroll and look for the ‘who folded’ poll to vote for syd (or whoever). I think you only have a couple hours left. Or go to the #sillylittlepoll tag. GO VOTE!! It’s really quite cute though. It’s referenced in Doing Too Much that they played a game of matching wines to her plates, but it was never confirmed until now that Chip literally deliberately started doing that just for Syd. 

I need somewhere to rant so much about Richie in this chapter, like. Am I gonna do it here? I think I’m gonna do it here. This is the director’s commentary part. EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME !!! EVERYONE SHUT UP!!

This whole chapter was so fun to write, because each scene is very weirdly mirrored and sewn together with each other, and that very much also coincides with Richie being in BOTH sequences. Let’s just go scene for scene. 

What are you amish? To 0ERR. This one is very simple, the line ends with In your life/Out of his life. Simple. Cute. Whatever. There’s also the aspect that Mikey/Richie very deliberately interrupt Chip’s mental fatigue and then no one talks to Carmen and let’s him spiral… Interesting. 

Then there’s 0ERR to fixing the coffee machine. Carmen says he can do it all by himself, that he’s good by himself. And he tries to think of Chip but she’s not here and it’s not working. And then we go to coffee. Where Chip admits that she’s not good by herself and she hasn’t been for a while, and she needs The Beef. And then she spirals and Mikey is there. And he is able to calm her down. Without even asking if she was freaking. 

Then coffee to handing off the dessert. Again, Carmen reminisces about his old life, he didn’t know any of his coworkers because they didn’t matter. He knows the faces of everyone here but doesn’t actually know them. Very much so unlike Chip. 

Dessert to Fixing the Chair. This one’s not a big flip, but—

Fixing the Chair to the DAVID TALK is huge. Because it’s very clear, Chip used to be a lot more guarded and insecure. She still is. But worse then. And it was thanks to her Guiding Light Mikey. And he supported her, and believed in her. Believed in his brother too, but he never said it. And then with David, David says Carmen is excellent but it’s with such vitriol. Carmen doesn’t get the support, and the praise he does get doesn’t feel good. Because there’s really only a few people he actually wants it from. 

You’re Needed Asshole to You’re Needed, Cousin. Not much to say more there. Just fun. 

But then. There’s Narcan to I would be so lucky. Richie saw all that shit. Richie saw how much of a fucking mom friend and overly prepared Chip always is. OF COURSE he’d be so lucky to have her because he IS so lucky to have her. She’s a LITERAL LIFESAVER. And to see fucking CARMEN? MAKE HER FEEL LIKE IT WAS HER FAULT??? OHHHHHHFHHFHF. …. I should’ve made him throw fucking punches i’m mad all over again. 

24 Hours Sober to Fighting in the Window, not much to say there. Their contrasts of talking one on one is enough, howeevverrr

This is where I have so much to say about Rich. Because his ‘stop being you’ means so much to me. BECAUSE he’s saying it with so much sincere love. Like he really is. Because you can see in the NEXT SCENE, with the withdrawals, he WATCHED his best friend have to very literally stop being him, and TRY to grow. Fucking RICHIE had to stop being him, he had to become the guy, he had to stage, he had to start wearing suits. He had to fucking GROW! And Richie KNOWS how fucked Carmen’s brain is. And that this kid is torturing himself in his head. The best solution for Carmen, to Richie? He needs to stop being him. 

Which is why he was so fucking pokey with ‘have you done the work?’ because Mikey had to, Richie had to, even Chip had to do work. He doesn’t see that work in Carmen! He gives up on himself because he doesn’t think he’s worth the work and it PISSES RICHIE THE FUCK OFF!!

There’s also the aspect that Richie literally screams back at Mikey while he’s going through it in the freezer, and Chip has to tell him to not be mean. But Chip’s not there in Carmen’s moments anymore! So no ones there to pull him back!

The deal scene vs the bear flickering scene isn’t much besides the burn the money, but I do love that Sydney asks ‘can you stay after close?’ and that being the exact same thing Carmen said to David. The difference is Carmen actually did stay to hear the critique. Proud of him. 

I’ll leave it there, because this is so much to process. But thank you for giving me a place to yap about all that. 

Anyways, back to the things YOU wrote because there’s still much to discuss. The freezer scene with Mikey was one I had set up since the beginning, and it really was so crushing in execution. There’s so much love in it, with all three of them being there— And it really just makes the introduction scene from chapter one so much more painful because it felt so familiar to both of them, just without their original Bear.

“I don’t want to choose between her and my career. If that’s what getting a star takes, I don’t want it.” okay I think we’ve been focusing on the wrong love interest for Chip. I see the vision now, and Carmy’s not in it

My master plannnn,,,, i’ve pulled you all in,,,,

The scene with Eva was so cute and then I get hit with “You’re gonna break your neck Mike. I don’t want to plan your funeral.” EVIL “You will not realize he is trying to make things clean and square, until it is too late.” “You think Mikey has a future, still. Mikey knows he doesn’t.” Both of these stabbed me in the chest and I haven’t recovered, just fyi

Yeah i was fucked up for these i have to quote them back to you because i did get a little crazy. A little wild. 

MIKEY KNEWWWW, original CarmTony shipper before they even met frfr. Which, speaking of, as promised, the Mikey Fire thing. ALRIGHT. 

So in Just Dropped, as I said before, there were SO many different routes I was considering, but one of them that I didn’t mention before was that the oven that Chip fixed, once Carmen dropped the ‘you failed Mikey’-- Was going to full flame up. Like that one scene where Carm tried to light a cig and it almost lit his fucking hair on fire? That. 

I ditched this idea, inevitably, because it just felt too much like me fully going ‘yeah ghosts are fucking real’. And I wanted it to be more a choice for the reader whether or not they want to see that as a thing. So instead, there was the expo clock buzzing out for no reason— And if you choose to believe it, it might be Mikey trying to both scare Carmen out of fucking tweaking (painful back massage) and get Carmen to get Chip back out of the parking lot to fix it. Alas, it doesn’t work. But he tried. He also (if you choose to believe it) made the Bear’s logo buzz out. A design you technically helped make. That was just petty older brother shit. I like to think it coincided with Chip at home and the picture frame falling off her wall. 

I like this because it adds context to other random breaks. The toilet spraying water in Tony’s face when she started to think she was nothing, Carmen’s oven breaking when Syd was on the verge of losing it. I like to think the Guy is still the guy. Even dead. 

I’M GLAD THE LAST SCENE WAS MOVING!! The phone call was also one of those scenes that had a lot of different routes, and I’m glad I went with a lot more of a very simple almost sweet and like,,, pedestrian phone call? Like a normal day, almost. And it just makes the rest so much worse because YEAH SHE EXPECTED HIM TO COME OVER. HELL .

Thank you for your review, and thank you so much for reading it and thank you so much for reading THIS god i just spent like an hour yapping. If anyone read this please send me your thoughts on this director’s cut alone honestly just so i know someone read it and i am not yapping into the void THANK YOU LOVE YOU KISSES HOPE THE NEXT ONE IS ALSO GOOD HOPEFULLY

When it comes to conversation partners, you could do worse than Rhiki! You could also probably do better, though....

(Oof this one was rough! I'm sooo tired and it took me forever to stumble upon an idea for this prompt, which I wouldn't have at all were it not for the help of @avalon821, @akirakirxaa, @elliewiltarwyn, @dragoon-mid-jump, and others! Now I am going to bed... Finally....)

Rating: General Genre: Fluff, nonsense Characters: Ardbert, Z'rhiki Irhi (Warrior of Light) Word Count: 1,164 Content Warnings: None

Ardbert told himself again and again that he should be thankful. He was thankful. He had been on the verge of coming undone, of fading away entirely, when fate had seen fit to pluck him from the precipice’s edge. His curse had been lifted! For the first time in centuries there was someone who could see and hear him, even if it was just the one person. How long had it been since he last heard the sound of his own name? It had been even longer since he had felt the stirrings of genuine hope.

He was thankful, truly. It was just….

She talked so much.

“You know, I keep thinking about dying my hair,” she said as she looked into her inn room’s vanity mirror and re-fastened one of her small braids. “But I can never decide what color. A long time ago I thought about white, but white just seems so played out, doesn’t it? Plus, all of the other Scions have white hair. Have you ever noticed that? Hmmm.... Maybe silver? Red? Or maybe something bright, like teal! But then, if I dyed my hair, do you think I would have to dye the fur on my tail, too? I mean, is it better to pretend it’s natural even though everyone knows it isn’t, or should I just own the fact that I’ve dyed my hair?” When she was satisfied the braid was secure, she turned her head either which way, examining herself before glancing up at him. “You know, I’ve never thought about it, but can you do anything with your hair? I know you don’t have a corporeal form so you probably can’t cut it, but if you wanted to, I don’t know, muss it up or something, could you? Honestly, you should try it! I bet you could look a lot more roguishly handsome if you did something different with your hair!”

Internally, Ardbert sighed.

She was supposed to be his salvation, but occasionally he found himself thinking that she was a little more like purgatory. Penitence for his sins. She talked constantly. Sometimes he thought about concealing his presence, or about abandoning his newfound companion to wander the Crystarium, but he had to admit there was something nice about talking to someone again. Or, rather, being talked to again. Most of their “conversations” amounted to her vocalizing random thoughts that he expected she would have been having anyway in his general direction. She didn’t seem to expect or require much input from him, and he wasn’t sure if she even wanted it. She was, for the most part, content to ramble to herself, with him as a silent spectator. Sometimes he would contribute a few words, or answer a question if he was able, but not often. Perhaps it was for the best: he wasn’t really sure what to talk to her about, and his conversation skills were probably rusty anyway.

“How many different colors of Amaro do you think there are?” She wondered aloud as they passed the rookery. At first he had been worried people might think she was losing her mind, talking to thin air as she was, but most of the Crystarium’s residents didn’t pay her any mind. They seemed to assume that she was merely musing to herself, if they noticed her talking at all. “I don’t mean, like, ‘moss green’ as opposed to ‘swamp algae green’ – I mean actual different colors. Chocobos come in a lot of different colors, though I suppose only a few usually occur naturally. The color of chocobos’ feathers actually depends on their diet, so if you feed them the right grains and vegetables you can make them all sorts of colors! All of the amaro in the Crystarium are dark green, but I saw some red ones in Lakeland. Do you think there are any that have magenta fur? Or pastel blue? Wait, does that stuff count as fur? Or feathers? I’ll have to look more closely the next time I’m on one. It’s very soft, either way!”

She never talked about anything important, of course. Or anything too personal. She didn’t talk about how she was adjusting to life on the First, or how she felt about what the Crystal Exarch had asked of her, or what her plans were for slaying a Lightwarden. It was possible she would be willing to broach such topics if he asked, but she never seemed to bring them up in her running commentary. The closest she came to sharing her deeper thoughts on their situation was complaining – about being tired, or about the aggressive wildlife, or about the Exarch. Mostly, she just chatted about whatever thoughts popped into her head, no matter how inane or frivolous. It could occasionally be entertaining, but at times it could also be annoying. And yet, he still chose to spend most of his time shadowing her. She was the sole person with whom he could communicate, and, under the circumstances, he supposed he couldn’t afford to be too choosy. It wasn’t as if she was terrible company. Just… a little much.

Evening was coming on quickly, and he followed her as she wandered towards the Crystarium’s market district. She languidly perused the different shops and stalls, waiting for something to catch her eye rather than seeking out something specific. Their ambling took them within sight of the Last Stand, which must have made her think of food, because she said: “What do you think I should have for dinner? Any recommendations? I suppose food has probably changed a lot since you were alive, so maybe you’re no better off than I am, but is there anything you remember being good? Specific dishes? Spices? Types of cuisine?”

Oh? She’d paused long enough for him to say something. Come on Ardbert, don’t let this chance go to waste!

“Hmmm… well, it’s a bit hard to remember what things taste like, but Renda-Rae always liked baked megapiranha from the Greatwood.”

She pulled a face. “Bleh! No fish! I’ve eaten as many fish in my life as I’d like to, thank you very much! Unless fish on the First taste and smell completely different…?”

“Probably not,” He couldn’t help but smile a little. “Well, I was always partial to some old-fashioned roast ovim, but I’m sure you’ve had that already. I seem to remember that they used to make some sort of rice dish in Kholusia. It didn’t have fish in it, but the sauce was made from squid ink, of all things. Maybe that sounds mad, but I think I remember being pleasantly surprised by it. It might have had mussels in it, though. What was it called…? Something ‘negre’ I think?”

“Oh! That sounds good!  I don’t mind shellfish – they’re not really fish, you know? I wonder if they still make it! Let’s ask! I’d offer to give you a bite, but something tells me it would go right through you! Get it?!”
