#just know that I’m extremely picky about my playlists

[wyervan]

Hello, hello!!! I hope you are doing well! I was checking out the song list you have for the darling slasher lads and I love it so much!!! I also have another song that really reminds me of them, the lyrics of the "Riddle Box" by ICP fits very well since they describe two murderous clowns speaking of where the souls of their targets will go in the afterlife, since they targeted wicked people.

Hey, I’ve actually never come across that ICP song before! No yeah you’re totally right; the lyrics are QUITE fitting. Might just throw that one in~ thanks for the rec

Pretend We’re Good

Niamh Charles x Reader

Synopsis: based off this request!

Warnings: toxic behavior from both Niamh and Reader, suggestive at the end, fighting, angsty

WC: 3.3k

A/N: this is the first time I’ve written for someone other than Jessie, but I follow Niamh as a player so idk thought I’d give it a go.

Also shout out to whoever this anon was, this song is a banger and has found its way onto my driving to work playlist which I am extremely picky about, so thanks for the indirect song suggestion! 🫶

Seeing the match announcement was one thing, actually showing up and playing it was another.

Playing England was good preparation for the Olympics, they were a quality team, you knew that, but that meant you’d have to see Niamh. That meant you’d have to mark Niamh on the pitch. It meant you’d have to give her a silly handshake before the game and wish her good luck.

You and Niamh had a complicated history. You played at Liverpool together for a season before she left for Chelsea. You had always had a flirty friendship as teenagers but it never amounted to anything.

Then when she left for Chelsea, it broke your heart. Which made you realize how strong your feelings were for the girl, bawling when she said goodbye and then again at home in bed. For hours at a time you would remain motionless on your mattress, wishing she’d come back. You had been a mess for a couple weeks not knowing how to handle losing your best friend and the girl you had seemingly fallen in love with. The two of you kept in touch but it wasn’t comparable to seeing her everyday, to being her travel roommate, to being her bus buddy.

Then you got a call a season later. A call offering you a spot at Chelsea, you barely thought about it, the club's reputation, plus being back with Niamh, you easily said yes, signing your name on the line to become a blue.

Niamh was your first call, she was ecstatic about you joining the club. It didn’t take long for the two of you to fall back into your friendship and with the friendship came the oblivious flirting.

“You two are insufferable. Will you just admit you want to makeout.” Erin had teased the two of you. Her teasing, while not appreciating in the moment, had forced you and Niamh to actually sit down and talk about your feelings. You both admitted to wanting more than just a friendship and you went on your first official date after.

The next two years with Niamh were pure bliss. You played well together, you’d spend your holidays together, you met her family and she met yours.

Everything was good, until you became unhappy at Chelsea. You were progressively losing playing time to new signings, only seeing the pitch as a sub, it was impacting you heavily mentally and hurting your playing time internationally as well.

So when you got the offer to move to the NWSL, you took it. You took it and you didn’t tell Niamh until the day you confirmed the transfer.

You had broken the news at dinner in your apartment and an argument had quickly unfollowed.

“I can’t believe you’d just leave like that!” Niamh stood from the table grabbing her plate, not offering to clear yours like she typically would.

“I’m not happy here Niamh!” Niamh would be lying to herself if she said she didn’t know you were unhappy. She’d heard you rant and complain about your playing time, your struggles in training, and she had been supportive thought it all. She just never imagined you’d go as far as to leave her, to leave her and leave the country, the continent behind.

“What? I don’t make you happy?” She screamed across the room at you.

“You do! You’re the best thing I have here!” It was all you could yell back.

The defender grew quiet, looking at you with hurt eyes. “But I’m not enough, am I?” She asked quietly.

“Niamh.” You wanted to scream at her that this had nothing to do with her, she was the only reason you had stayed at this team so long. You had been given other offers but you thought maybe, somehow you’d end up with more playing time again and you’d go back to being happy where you were but that day never came.

“No, you should go, enjoy New York. Go where someone or something is enough for you.” She slammed the door behind her leaving you alone in your apartment.

The next day, your final day at Chelsea, you showed up, puffy eyed from crying instead of sleeping all night. It was quickly picked up on by the other girls, especially when Niamh didn’t come in with you, and she didn’t show up to training.

You gathered everyone in the conference room before film review. You stood up, explaining that while you loved the friendships and connections you’ve made here, to better yourself as a player it was time to move on. As you spoke you noticed Niamh slip in through the door, she looked just as rough if not worse than you did. Red cheeks, bloodshot eyes, her hair was a mess, she wasn’t dressed for training. You finished your speech before quickly saying goodbye to everyone all the girls lining up to hug you and wish you well, all the girls except Niamh who remained seated in the back of the room.

You left the facility shortly after, taking all your belongings with you before hurrying home. You were set to leave early the next morning, your belongings to be packed up by hired movers, anything you shared to be left with Niamh. You packed up just the essentials, enough to get you through the first week of your move before you could get settled.

You sent Niamh a text, asking if she wanted to come over for a bit, thinking you could talk it out, but you got no response. The next morning you hopped on a plane, having no idea if you were even still in a relationship with the girl.

It took a few weeks until you heard from her. A drunken phone call after they had won the league. A phone call that part of you wishes never came. You could tell from her first words that she must’ve been hammered, standing outside a loud nightclub or bar. Her voice brought back all of the feelings you had managed to push down for the past few weeks. Her proclamation of love over the phone, begging and pleading with you to forgive her for her stupid behavior. She begged to have you back in her bed, saying she missed the intimacy with you, the connection. She begged for a chance at long distance, to still be the one you wanted.

You never called her back. You weren’t even sure if she remembered calling.

And now here you were, standing less than an arms length away from her as you both stood waiting to enter the pitch. When you had stopped next to her, she had looked at you, when you made eye contact she gave you a small “hello” with a look of guilt across her face.

The game was easier, it was easy to forget she was there. She just looked like any other England player. You were able to push her from your mind, putting you more at ease than you had expected to be being this close to the woman after all that had happened.

It was after the game where you found yourself in uncomfortable waters with her. You had shaken her hand last, avoiding all eye contact. When Niamh tried to speak to you, you quickly dropped her hand and then made a b-line for the locker room.

“Please wait.” Her voice pleading with you as you heard her follow you down the tunnel.

“Niamh, no.” You don’t even turn back to look at her. You couldn’t, if you looked at her your body might convince you to hear her out.

“I don’t need you back, I just want closure, you deserve closure, I didn’t give you that.”

“Do you want closure or do you just want to feel less guilty for what you did to me?” You spit back at her, turning around you watch as her already guilty looking face twists into one of anger.

“You left the country with one days notice! Don’t blame this all on me!” She shouts back at you.

You sigh, you couldn’t believe this was happening. You and Niamh, standing less than three feet from each other, face to face for the first time since she left your apartment. You couldn’t determine your feeling, half of you wanted to grab her, kiss her hard and make up for all the time you two had missed out on. The other half of you was ready to shove her out of the way, leave here and hope you’d never have to play the Lionesses again. “And you walked out! You didn’t even try Niamh!”

“I didn’t know how. I didn’t even know where to start! It was such late notice. I didn’t know what to do, I loved you, I still love you.” She’s making eye contact so intense you can’t look away. This is exactly what you feared. Unable to hold back from the girl you start rambling.

“I still love you too Niamh, you think I don’t? You’re the only reason I stayed Niamh, because I loved you so fucking much, I couldn’t leave you, until playing for Chelsea became so unbearable, I had to leave to save myself, I was ready to quit.” You feel the tears on your face, suddenly very aware that you were crying.

You had only expressed how miserable you were to Niamh on the day you told her your contract was signed. She didn’t know you were on the verge of quitting, giving up on your love for the game.

You notice some of your teammates starting to filter into the tunnel. You and Niamh both stop talking as they pass by. Catarina slows down as she walks by, you try and duck your face to hide the tears. She looks between you and Niamh, giving you both a sympathetic smile before she moves on.

“Quit?” Niamh's face matches the look of your empathetic teammates in the tunnel.

You nod, avoiding making eye contact with Niamh, not wanting her to see right through you. She could always read you, she knew, you expressed your emotions too well through your eyes.

“I didn’t know it was that bad. Why didn’t you tell me?” Niamh grabs your hand, you start to pull it away but the feeling of her hand in yours again makes your stomach flutter so you leave it. “I don’t know what I can do. But,” you feel her squeeze your hand. “I want you back, or I want you again, I’m not sure I lost you, ever I don’t know what we were doing for those few months. Please?”

“We weren’t together during those months.” Sure you never confirmed a break up but you had decided not hearing from her meant you were no longer a couple. But you also hadn’t started seeing other people, the feelings of Niamh still too fresh.

“No, I know, it’s just we never broke up.”

“Niamh, I don’t know.”

“Please don’t make me beg. Even if it’s just a night? Just dinner or drinks, I’ll pay, or we can go to my place and I’ll let you yell at me, or tell me everything I did wrong, or we can just sit, whatever, just one night, me and you can we pretend we’re good? Pretend we’re something again? Go back to how it was?”

“Niamh.” You breathed out. You knew you shouldn’t. You knew both of your behaviors were toxic, you leaving with little notice and her storming out and drunkenly calling you begging for you back. You two shouldn’t be doing this. You shouldn’t, but you wanted to. You loved her still.

You wanted to have a night with her, a date, an afternoon, something! In reality you wanted her for the rest of your life. You missed her hugs, you missed the way she kissed you, you missed the way you’d sing in the car together despite both having less than excellent voices. You missed falling asleep next to her. You missed her body on yours. You missed getting up early to make her coffee or tea and bringing it to her in bed, the way she’d sit up to sip it with crazy bed head. You missed everything about her.

You missed her and this was your chance to have her again. Even if it was just to pretend, for a night.

Niamh must’ve been able to tell you were pondering. She didn’t plea with you anymore, she didn’t beg again. She just waited patiently, studying your face, the face she’s been longing for.

“Okay. One night, like we used to be.” You finally give in.

“Really?” Niamh’s face lights up at your answer. A smile across her lips. “Okay, I’ll pick you up from your hotel? Can we have dinner? Or just drinks? Or I don’t know.”

“That sounds good.” Drinks and dinner would be harmless, a good way for the two of you to talk, in public, keep it civil.

When Niamh picked you up she was dressed up. You thankfully had dressed up as well. Subconsciously when you packed, you threw in a nice matching lace set, which you had put on underneath a simple shirt and nice pants. She had gotten out of the car to open the passenger side door, something she did when you were together.

“Thank you. Thank you for agreeing to this.” She said one back in the driver’s seat.

“Yeah.” You clasped your hands in your lap, when you were together you’d have your hand on her thigh or her hand in yours, today you kept them to yourself.

“I was thinking dinner?”

“Yeah that sounds good, I haven't eaten yet.”

Niamh nods before starting to drive to dinner. She pulls into an Italian restaurant, one the two of you had frequented while together.

When you sat down Niamh ordered a glass of wine, before looking at you. “Would you like one?”

“Yeah that'd be great.” you order the same wine as Niamh. When the glasses come Niamh holds hers up, tapping it to yours before you both take a sip and fall into silence.

You break the silence first.

You apologize for leaving on such short notice. You apologize for not telling her that you were considering leaving. You apologize for not expressing how you were feeling, truly upset at Chelsea. You apologize for never calling her, for never reaching out. You apologize for everything.

Niamh just sits, listening to you, really listening. She doesn’t interrupt, she just sits, making eye contact when you look at her. You find yourself looking away most of the time, feeling embarrassed as you list all the poor behavior, all the places you went wrong.

When you’re done, you sit back looking across the table at Niamh. Thankfully your food had arrived just as you finished apologizing and you were able to occupy the silence by eating. As you start to eat, Niamh begins to speak. She hasn’t started to eat and she’s hardly looked at the pasta in front of her.

“Niamh.” You interrupt, it was rude but you wanted to ensure she knew she could eat. “Please eat, we can talk after, don’t let it get cold.”

She nods, picking up her fork and swirling it into her meal. You eat for the most part in silence. Niamh asks a few questions about your new place in New York, your new team. When you tell her it’s going well, you’re playing more, you are often in the starting IX she replies with “I know.” When you told her you scored in your first game with them, she replies the same “I know.”

You look at her. “You keep up with me?”

“Of course I do.” She says. “I watch your games, I keep up with you, you have me rooting for you all the way across the pond. I, uh, I have your jersey.”

“Really?” You definitely didn’t expect her to own a jersey of yours. You had a couple of her Chelsea jerseys and you knew she had a couple of your old Chelsea ones as well, you just didn’t expect her to buy a new one, for your new team after what happened.

“Yeah.” She sighs.

She then begins an apology list of her own. She apologizes first for the drunken call. She had remembered doing it. She apologized for storming out on you, she apologized for ignoring you when you said your goodbyes to the team. She apologized for not reaching out, something you were both guilty of.

“I do still love you.” She ends her apology with those words.

“I still love you Niamh.” You can’t help it, you loved this woman, everything about her.

You don’t get to follow up on what that meant for either of you as the waiter comes with the bill, Niamh grabbing it before you can, when you let out a pouting huff, she just gives you a glance.

“Please it’s the least I can do, plus I asked you to this.”

“Fine.” You cross your arms. “But I get the next one.”

“The next one?” Niamh’s face breaks into a small smile, just creeping on her lips. “As in, another time?”

“If that’s something you want to do?”

“Yeah.” She says. “Does that mean, we’re…” she points a finger between the two of you.

You knew it was maybe too soon to let her back in, too soon for both of you but you really didn’t care. Sitting here being able to see her, hear her, admire her, made you miss every inch of her. You wanted her back, you needed her back. Long distance would be something to figure out, but not right now, right now you had her in front of you, within reach.

You’re not sure what to call yourselves yet, so you nod. “If that’s something you want too.”

“Yeah.” The waiter comes back to the table to give Niamh her card back. You both thank him before leaving the restaurant and heading to her car. Niamh goes to open your car door, just just barely cracks it when you push it closed.

“Hey!” She turns back to scold you, coming face to face with each other.

“Hi.” You breath out practically whispering, this was the closest you two had been in a non-match situation in months. Your faces inches from each other. You look at her eyes, temporarily getting lost in their beautiful blue color. Your trance is broke by her blinking a few times. Your eyes fall to her lips and then back to her eyes. Niamh gets the hint and brings her hands up around your shoulders, pulling you slightly closer.

“Is this okay?” She asks, looking up at you with wide eyes.

You find yourself leaning in, pressing your lips to hers, they feel better than you remember, you can feel your love for her flooding through your body, your hairs standing on edge, its electric and soft and it feels safe. You were kissing Niamh. Your Niamh. The love of your life, the girl you had waited for, the girl who was with you through your teenage years and into young adulthood. This was your girl, she was yours, you promised to never let her go again.

You kiss for a second, your front gently pressed to hers as her back is leaned up against the car. It’s a passionate kiss, both of you pouring months of built up feelings into it. When you break away you can’t hide the smile across your face and by the looks of it neither can Niamh.

“I love you.” You say.

“I love you.” She then turns opening the door again, you let her this time and you get into the car. When she climbs in the drivers seat she asks where to.

“Yours?” You suggest. “I can think of a few more ways we can make up for lost time.” You give her a wink and Niamh gets the hint, quickly starting the car in the direction of her apartment. It only takes a few turns before her hand finds its way to your upper thigh, giving it a hard squeeze.

Sure it wasn’t the healthiest way of working out your problems together, but it worked, you both got your frustrations out, you were able to express your emotions, show how much you missed each other, how much you loved each other, and by the time morning came the two of you had decided you were back together.

Girlfriends, just long distance ones.

Can i get 1-3 for Iovitus? (@commanderhorncleaver)

absolutely!

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

currently, no! i’ve been thinking a lot about voice claims recently and sorting out claims for my other characters, but it’s hard for me to settle on one for iovitus because i’m very picky and they already have a set sound in my head. there’s not a lot of characters in media (or at least that i’m familiar with) who’d fit them well enough and idk if i’m willing to settle because i’m PICKY!!!! generally speaking though, iovitus’ voice is very androgynous and expressive. they were on hrt for a number of years but never really vocal trained, so their voice doesn’t particularly lean towards one end of the spectrum or another — you couldn’t really make an assumption on their identity just based on voice alone.

2) Who's your OCs best friend? How did they become best friends?

realistically it’s probably gratta, but i’ve talked about her a lot and she’s family so she’s getting disqualified for this one. sorry pookie. instead, let’s talk about wixxi! wixxi is likely the closest person to iovitus aside from their cousin, and they love her very much. they feel safe confiding in wixxi about a lot of things, and she’s a great source of comfort for them. they’ve known each other for over a year in canon, and met at a bar in which both of them got extremely intoxicated and spent a ridiculous amount of gold at a night market. very classy. the two of them are both outcasts from their society — wixxi is a college dropout asura/other things i won’t get into because she’s not my character, and iovitus is a gladium/etc. they likely bonded because of that & their personalities mesh very well with one another.

3) What song describes your OC?

i don’t know if there’s one definite song, but iovitus does have an OC playlist that i’m constantly picking at. it’s mostly folk/folk punk/indie music. i update it a lot, adding and removing songs that don’t really feel like they fit anymore. it’s a dynamic playlist, i guess, since iovitus is a rp-based character and goes through changes often or something — all that is to say im indecisive about what should or should not be on there, ahehosoehgougehhghgh. anyways you can find it here —> x

A little about me (condensed)

I'm Bambi! | Lesbian | transfem enby | 19 | she/they

My blog is a mix of memes, photography occasionally, and almost entirely wlw/nblw NSFT shit but also some SFT gay stuff too!

The love of my life and my dom @junipermead53 (she has a realllyyyy good blog btw <3)

I am only interested in monogamy so don’t fucking DM me if you want to flirt.

AUDHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, ARFID.

Photographer and metalhead.

Switch with sub leanings

Kinks:

Praiseee | Praising degradation | Dumbification | Objectification | Humiliation

DNI LIST: racists, transphobes, homophobes, bigots, radical left or right mfs, ACAB lovers (don’t generalize an entire group, that’s blatant bigotry)

This is a safe space for faggots, trans peeps, also men, like idrc if you like my blog, you’re welcome here, but if you’re creepy, you get blocked I’m not gonna post furry stuff bc I’m not one but if you are, you are more than welcome here <3.

Hard no list: age play, slave stuff, knife/gunplay, rape. I think that’s it

Get to know me (expanded)

About ARFID, it’s an eating disorder that when boiled down could be categorized as extreme picky eating; like A LOT of textures and just foods in general I can’t have because they at the very least gross me the fuck out and make me want to curl in to a ball and die, if it’s semi bad I’ll get nauseous, and very bad I’ll throw up.

Metalhead; System Of A Down was my gateway band in 2017, since then I have fallen in love with almost all nu metal, deathcore, death, and little bit of black, metalcore, a bit of slam, pretty much all sub-genres. And A LOT of stuff outside of metal, https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4O1IOcEvkYuEZty34Ta3Pb?si=zah4hjStTJiV54jlXfD1hg my playlist for those who want to know what music I like <3 it’s very eclectic, and long. Like my di...

Photography; (as much as I want to show my photos on here I probably won’t for my privacy <3) I specialize in automotive, street, and portrait photography. (also I suppose you all will see my at least one of my photos bc I took the one on the cover of the playlist)

Kinks lol: Praise (so so much praise)

Praising degradation Eg “you’re being such a good slut for me aren’t you?” “Such an obedient toy for your dom”

Dumbification (when she tells me that I don’t get to think, just let her do all the thinking IEHEHWHDHWDIWBDJ, or she’ll say that I’m so dumb for her words, tell me that I’m just an object, her fuck toy OH. MY. GOD. THAT GETS ME SO MUCH

Objectification like I mentioned ^ I LOVE that I’m just an object to my dom, just a fucktoy, something to be used however she wants (not all the time tho, we’re not that kinky lol)

Cnc and freeuse

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SWEET RESPONSE!! 🍭🍭

(I didn't know how to respond to your tags on your reblog so I thought I would just send you an ask-)

I'm glad you thought I had some good concepts, I'm terrible at explaining things so it's nice to know that some people understood what I was getting at. And your tsum tsum steek drawing lives rent free in my head, it is so fricking cute. I love tsum tsums!! And I was glad I could influence your love of Steek, kvasgi's art of Steek was one of the first pieces of art for that ship that I saw which was part of the reason why I got into the ship too! And your sister's art is super cute as well, I love it all so much, especially her AU!

Since I'm here, I'd like to ask you, who are your favorite characters and what are your favorite ships?

Thanks again for the sweet response, have a great day!! ❤️❤️

@/steeklover AHH I’M SO SORRY I FOOLISHLY SAVED YOUR ASK AS A DRAFT ON MOBILE AND TUMBLR ATE IT 😭 Luckily, I had part of my response written already and I’ll try to reply as best I can to what I remember of your ask!

Did you know I’m a fool and inept at anything technology ._. I found the ask; somehow I saved the ask in my drafts completely separate from my response ahskkgj

Pls forgive me for the repost, I wanted to keep the original ask attached 🙇🏻‍♀️

(ALSO HELLO I DID NOT FORGET OR IGNORE THIS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ANSWER CONCISELY AND GOT BUSY AHAKDLGK)

ACTUALLY *YOU* ARE THE SWEETEST AGALLFJA

I think you explained yourself pretty well! Legit, I always love reading your thoughts on Steek and seeing the ideas you have for them, whether it be your mood boards or playlists, I enjoy your ideas! You are THE Steek shipper to me so I really value your perspective on them and keep some of your posts in mind whenever I try to portray them!

Tsums are definitely a long standing obsession of mine lol Evie says thanks for the praise as well! Her AU means a lot for the three of us ✨

(Long post so favs and ships under the cut haha)

To answer your questions, I’d say Tweek is my favorite from the show, but Stan had definitely settled into also being a major fav of mine! When I was first watching it, I went into season six a bit bitter about Tweek taking Kenny’s spot but… he’s just a little dude :3 Simpsons Already Did It is one of my top favorite episodes lol Stan was a surprising favorite but I guess following him and his friends around the most, I really liked the way he was characterized and the struggles he deals with? I also love Kenny content 🥺🧡 Anything and everything for Kenny lol

Anyways, here are some of my top favorite ships!! As you can probably tell, my sisters and I have a lot of overlap in the ships we like, and tend to influence each other a lot lol I’m a multi-shipper who generally likes a ton of ships and also really enjoy crackships and rare pairs cuz of the untapped potential of interactions that could happen! I also enjoy polys but for simplicity I’ll put just pairings here! I had tried organizing them in a tier list but… it ended up as a ranking list anyways so…

Stenny - I actually surprised Kim a lot when I first brought up that I liked her old flame lol My first and my fav ship, there’s something about them that makes me extremely happy and I can’t quite explain it. It probably has to do with their personalities and interactions, but I can’t really articulate it into words haha I also love all the fan created content of them! They’re lovely and adorable 💖

K2 - The OTP of my sisters means a lot of amazing fics recommended to me that makes it hard to not love lol I’m not picky about how the dynamic is portrayed, I’m always down for these two together! They baby 🥹

Steek - <333 SO much love for these two! Like I had said you were definitely a big reason for it. Plus why NOT ship your favorite characters together? They both have a tendency towards destructive patterns that I think the other could relate to, especially with seeking validation on their feelings? I think potential interactions between these two are severely under explored so I’m always searching for more Steek content!

Revin - OKAY. This one was definitely a ship I shipped from the show before looking at the fan content lol Constantly seeing them together in the background just reminded me of playground crushes, and their moments were small but cute. AND THEN WHEN THEY BROKE UP I WAS DEVASTATED. CONFIRMATION THEY WERE DATING AT THE COST OF THEIR BREAK UP AND NEVER SEEING THEM TOGETHER AGAIN 😭 We’ve also headcanoned their personalities quite a bit and so I like to think of them both being a bit airheaded? Kevin constantly thinking about his sci-fi and Red seemingly not pay attention to things around her? Kevin calling their fruits sandwiches and Red just going along with it was also funny even if it’s just an animation error lol ALSO KEVIN BEING SO SAD AT THE BAY OF MEMORIAL PIGS DANCE AS RED DANCED WITH TOLKIEN I CAN’T 😭 I love little background details the most when it comes to characters, I think.

Crenny - Again, Kim was a big influence in me liking Kenny ships, also Crenny has some of the most beautiful and heartfelt works I’ve ever seen and read? I think things would be pretty easy with these two and they’ve had some good moments together!

Cryle - I know people say they don’t interact much but when has that ever stopped me lol They’re both stubborn in different ways, Craig more passive and Kyle more confrontational, I think? Like, I really liked the scene in Fishsticks where they’re both advising Jimmy. They were basically indirectly arguing against each other and I think that’s such an interesting and fun dynamic lololol There’s enough there for me to enjoy them together!

-

Creek - Just LOOK at them lol. I do admit I like them a lot in the show but don’t seek them out in fanworks but they’re great <3

Stendy - I HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT THEM TOO. Like Stendy is complicated but they’re also elementary school kids, of course they’re not gonna know how to relationship properly. But they’re still so messy?? And it’s just on their personalities mannn. I think Stan very much takes his friends for granted sometimes and especially his girlfriend. And Wendy isn’t a part of his friend group enough to really be comfortable discussing their faults? Like obviously he’s done some things and she has as well but things are always resolved offscreen or brushed aside so we never really see how they get over it. Basically they’re cute when he’s pining or when they’re domestically together and supportive but when they’re just not paying attention to each other they’re difficult lol

Stolkien - Another ship from the show, I think their interactions are always so fun, especially in the later seasons 🥺💕

Staig - I love rivals lol I think fandom plays up their hatred for each other a lot but Scauses really convinced me that they do notice each other lol That and Craig likes stirring the pot a lot XD

.

.

.

It feels like I’m missing so many characters and ships but I had to limit myself! Ten is enough haha (shout out to all the ships I do ship but didn’t make it to this list 😔) I tried to keep this short lol

I hope your days have been great as well!! Thank you so much for the ask!! 💖

RULES

1. muns MUST be 21+, preferably 25+. this is nonnegotiable, if your age is not listed, or you refuse to share it, then we will not be writing together. it weirds me out, i’m sorry.

2. i write muses of all genders, ages (21+), and sexualities, and i prefer to write with people of similar mindsets. someone with an army of twinks, or a platoon of 18 year old girls is only going to be getting a deep side-eye from me. 

3. OCxOC only, though i could be convinced to write OCxcanon if the plot is particularly tantalizing.

4. will NOT write, under any circumstances: pregnancy, babysitter/nanny plots (so not sexy when it’s your actual job, let me tell you!), extreme taboo (bestiality, underage, noncon [dubcon and cnc okay], heavy bloodplay [knifeplay, biting, etc are fine, but nothing more extreme], scat)

5. no one liners, no gif only replies, and no uneven replies. i’m not picky about reply length, so long as you match me for response worthy content. 3 paragraph long replies are great and all, but if only 2 lines of that is something i can formulate a reply around, then it becomes an issue for me.

6. i love discord for plotting, chatting, and keeping track of characters, plots, and general worldbuilding, but i prefer the bulk of our rping to be done on tumblr. i’m old and set in my ways!

WANTED

no specific plots yet, but just the general vibes of something dark, unconventional, and deliciously plotty. lots of action and drama, something we just dive right into without all the awkward first few threads establishing characters and scenes. smut heavy but not smut reliant. would prefer to start out as a 1x1 but eventually expand to a multimuse situation. i don’t generally gravitate towards generic slice of life type plots, i want the drama and intrigue to come from actual dark sources, not just your basic cheating plot, or whatever. 

besides slice of life though, i’m open to any and all verses- with a leaning towards supernatural (creatures, not the show!), criminals, D/s universes, and soulmate verses.

i am an all in type of girl when it comes to my muses and verses- i love talking about our little freaks outside of just plotting and writing threads, and i do tend to foist playlists and pinterest boards onto my partners! if that level of enthusiasm is offputting, it’s best you know this about me now, lol. 

MUSES

i generally prefer to create new muses from scratch, especially for rps with long run lengths, but i do have a few who i just love, and have been writing so long that they can be edited and molded to fit just about any plot lol. my town bicycles, everyone gets a ride! i tend to favor slightly less popular faceclaims as well, there are no marvel faces or disney faces in my repertoire. 

if you stuck around to reach this part of this post, i already love you lmao! if you feel like we could vibe well, hit me with a message via tumblr (you’ll likely get my discord within minutes, but I just don’t like having it out free for anyone to see) and let’s give it a go! i’m a sick little insomniac so i’m awake and online at all hours of the night, and i crave validation so i respond within the hour, usually within minutes. 

thanks again for humoring me,

sunny

[micamicster]

hey! i wanted to say i really liked the load out and american pie and the way you talked about music. when eddie talked about his feelings about bruce springsteen i felt very seen on that. i was wondering in american pie talked about how it is important for punk bands to have a sense of humor in their songs too. as someone who obviously knows a lot about punk, do you have any funny band recs (preferably female-led, but i’m not picky)?

Thank you so much for this ask this is a GREAT question I'm very excited to get into it <3

I'm gonna rec a few songs and bands and link a playlist, but im also going to be enlisting the help of @weaponsofclairvoyance and any of my other mutuals who might have suggestions! Also, as Saira pointed out, just because they're jokes doesn't mean they're good jokes (punk being a genre notoriously populated by dirtbags and idiot teens lol).

Punk humor ranges from the embarrassingly juvenile (Buzzcocks - Orgasm Addict, Childbirth - I Only Fucked You as a Joke, Replacements - Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out) to the darkly ironic (Ramones - Today Your Love Tomorrow the World, Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor, The Muslims - Blink 9-11) to the just plain weird (The Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack, The Cramps - I Was a Teenage Werewolf)

I think if I was going to pick one band for you to check out it would be The Cramps (female fronted with lots of weird and humorous songs to choose from, as well as just being great music). But I'll link a playlist (which I'll add people's suggestions to)! This playlist consists of the very broad topic of Punk Songs with a Sense of Humor, which includes but is not limited to Joke Songs. It's nuanced. It's complex. It's extremely dumb <3

ʀᴏᴀᴅᴛʀɪᴘ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴɴᴏɴꜱ

Characters: Venti, Zhongli and Diluc

Warnings: Just some kissing, nothing too extreme

A/N: okay so this isn't a request but the idea wormed it's way into my head and I couldn't get it out. I'm definitely doing other characters so this will probably be a 2 or 3 part series! Anyways, I hope you like it! :)

Tagging @genshin-obsessed (hi pocket! -🍷❤)

Venti:

Probably knows the lyrics to all the songs on the radio/playlist

Definitely made at least two or more playlist for the trip

Makes you drive because it’s too much effort and drains so much of his energy He’s just lazy

Makes you stop at Starbucks every morning, if it’s a multiple day drive it’s at least 3 times

He has three moods during road trips

One: Overly excited 

Talks on and on about the stuff you two will do and how much fun you two will

Two: Complaining way too much

His back hurts

His legs are stiff

The seat is uncomfortable 

“Are we there yet?” x100000

Will literally ask it every 2 seconds

He’s all pouty and grumpy

Three: Deep sleep

Finally you have a few hours peace and quiet

Probably caused from a caffeine crash

Sleeps like he’s dead, you literally cannot wake him up and you don’t want too jkjkjk

He’s usually quiet when he wakes up or is about to fall asleep. But when he is half asleep he always wants to hold your hand. Will probably tell you how much he loves you and how lucky he is to go on this trip with you while struggling not to fall asleep. Then conks out 5 minutes later.

Empty landscape surrounded you for miles, it looked like it went on forever. Music hummed in the background as the car kept a steady pace. “Are we there yet?” Venti asked in an annoyed tone. For the past eight minutes he had been moving around in his seat trying to find a comfortable position.  He was now sitting crossed legged, a large frown on his face as he twirled his hair. “Not yet love, we have 3 more hours till we reach the hotel,” you replied. “UGHHHHHHHHH! And then we have 7 more hours to drive tomorrow and how many days till we actually get there!?!” “2 babe,” “UGHHHHHH THAT’S SO LONG!” he whined. He sunk into his chair, his frown growing. You chuckled at his antics, “Weren’t you talking about how great this trip was gonna be like an hour ago?” you said with a smile. “Hush it” you couldn’t help but laugh at his response. The sun began to set as the car continued on down the highway. You felt a hand lightly rest itself on yours. You looked over at Venti. His half lidded eyes focused on the road. You smiled and brought his hand to your lips, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of it, “Feeling sleepy? Are you finally crashing from all that caffeine?” “Mhm” he hummed sleepily. There was a brief peaceful moment of silence between the two of you. “Thanks for taking me on this trip babe…… I love you….” you laughed lightly at his sleep tone, “Love you too.” You looked over to see him conked out and already lightly snoring. Another quiet laugh escaped you, “Sleep well sleeping beauty.”

Zhongli:

Doesn’t mind driving, he’ll drive for the whole trip if you’d like

But also doesn’t mind switching driving shifts with you

He’s actually a decent driver which came as a bit of a surprise (he got a little offended when you told him that)

He can and will talk the whole trip

Has a abundance of topics and stories he will talk about

He will go into deep detail, even if it’s just about his morning cup of tea he will go into detail about it.

If you two take turns driving he’ll definitely nap while you drive

Peepaw needs his naps :((((

He 100% doesn’t get car sick

He can read a whole book during a drive without looking at the road even once

Probably talks you while you’re sleeping when he’s the driver

He won’t even notice you’re asleep for a good while, he’ll just keep talking and talking

One time he didn’t even notice you were asleep and when you woke up he was still going on about that same subject.

He won’t eat fast food. He will make you two eat at restaurant or diner

Also he always books fancy hotels too. Not Marriot or Motel 6 for him. Nope. Not in a million years.

He loves exploring the towns and cities you guys stop in. Checking out the shops and local attractions, he’s all for that.

Probably plans for your two to stay a few extra days in the big cities

You stepped out into the cool night taking a deep breath of air. You and Zhongli had just finished eating dinner at some fancy restaurant he had picked out. (You had pay of course). “Thank you for dinner beloved.” you looked over him, “Yeah it’s no problem but maybe next time you shouldn’t forget your wallet so you can actually pay for once.” you said with a cheeky grin. “Urk” he clutched his chest and said with a chuckle, “Why must you wound me with your harsh words darling?” “ I’m just messing with ya peepaw!” you said as you lightly punched his shoulder. “Hey I’m not that old,” as he offered you his arm. You wrapped your arm around his as you two began walking back to the hotel. “You seriously act like an old man though,” “It’s because I have an old soul,” “Yeah you sure do…….” he let out a laugh and kissed your forehead, “It’s never a boring conversation with you my love.” “Can’t say the same about you peepaw” he burst out laughing at that comment, he even snorted once or twice much to your amusement. You couldn’t help but laugh with him. After the laughter you looked at him and said, “Sorry if I was a bit harsh but I couldn’t help myself!” you said, still giggling a bit. He returned your gaze with a warm smile and wrapped his arms around your waist. He pulled you in and pressed his lips to yours. The kiss was sweet and you couldn’t help but smile when his lips left yours. Still hand in hand you two had resumed walking back to the hotel, “So…. are you ready to hit the road again tomorrow morning?” “Yes my darling, I’m actually quite excited to spend more time with you. This trip has been fantastic so far, part of me wishes it will never end…..”

Diluc:

Will drive the whole time

He refuses to let you drive

Why may you ask?

Because he gets car sick very easily. He’ll never admit it though.

Tease him about it and he’ll get all flustered.

Probably has road rage

Not much of a big talker so it’s either idle chit chat between you two, him listening to you or just a comfortable silence while listening to music.

I feel like he has jazz CDs, he just gives off the vibe

Like you guys will drive through a dead zone and the you know you have some sweet jazz music serenading your ears

Doesn’t mind listening to your music either, he’s not very picky.

He always turns down the volume of the music when you’re sleeping because he doesn’t want you to wake you up

Doesn’t mind fast food at all which is a bit surprising.

When he needs a quick nap he’ll pull into a rest stop

Even if you offer to drive while he’s asleep he still won’t let you

Definitely planned out everything beforehand. Already booked the hotel rooms and all that.

He asked you what you wanted to do and practically based the whole plan off that because he wants you to see you smile.

The rest stop parking lot was practically empty. You looked up at the blue sky through the sunroof. Absolutely no clouds were in the sky, it was just like a never ending bright blue blanket. You looked over at Dliuc who was quietly sleeping. You watched his chest rise and fall. He looked so peaceful, so at ease. You twirled the ends of his bright red hair between your fingers. He had asked you to wake him up in twenty minutes. You checked the time. Five more minutes. You let out a soft sigh, turning your gaze back to the sky. You continued to play with his hair as you stared into never ending blue. After what felt like an eternity later, you finally checked the time again. Looks like you gave him an extra minute. “Hmmmm...How should I wake him up?” you thought to yourself. Well you could be nice to him and gently shake him awake, but that was boring. You could tickle him but you weren’t sure if he was tickle-ish or not…… After a little more pondering you finally got the perfect idea. You quickly sat up and leaned over him and gently cupped his face in your hands. You brought your lips to his and gave him a deep kiss. His eyes quickly snapped open as he jolted awake. You broke the kiss to say “Good morning sleeping beauty. How was your nap?” he just stared back at you, a bright red blush covering his face. “I-it was fine,” was all he managed to muster out. You giggled and leaned back in your seat, “Well that's nice-'' But before you could finish Diluc’s lips were on yours, continuing the kiss. This time he was the one cupping your face as he pulled you closer. His kisses were tender and soft, his hands were warm against your face. Once the kiss finally broke, Diluc cleared his throat, “Are you ready to get back on the road.” He was still clearly blushing, even the tips of his ears were burning red. You couldn’t help but giggle at him, “Yep! Let’s get this show back on the road!”

[path-of-my-childhood]

lorde anon here, now that both lana and lorde (my holy trinity with taylor) are struck off 💔, do you happen to like hozier or sleeping at last ? i know you like NF! i wanna see how much our tastes overlap 🙃

Oh I love Sleeping at Last! I had a period a year or two ago when I’d just play those Enneagram songs on a loop. I honestly know nothing about those personality test nor do I care about stuff like that in general, but I loved the songs cause I related most of them to some shit from my life. And obviously “Saturn” is a classic, so yeah - I dig them. I had a plan back then to try to listen through their discography, but then I never found the time and eventually forgot... so yeah, I have to admit that I haven’t listened to their whole albums.

What I know from Hozier I like - I don’t know many of his songs, but in general - I do like them. He’s kinda like a male Lorde in my mind, except he’s probably got a sound that’s a tiny bit more appealing to me. But from what I’ve heard he has a similar type of writing style to Lorde, which is not my favorite, but he’s okay, I enjoy hearing a song or two from him from time to time.

As you might have noticed, I am an extremely picky listener, and I don’t really like the trend of overconsumption, so I don’t necessarily have the need to listen to a ridiculous amount of new music. Like, one or two good new albums a year and I’m good. It’s because the songs that I love - I really love them, and they are on my playlist for probably next ten years and I like to live with them, so probably 95% of new releases don’t interest me at all. And I also tend to be really stubborn with how I consume music cause I like songs to make their way to me, so you know, my assumption is always - if something is good, it will find its way to me. That’s for example how I found Sleeping At Last. And Taylor for that matter. And NF. I mean, you are speaking to a typical Aries (and triple fire sign) here - I do not seek, I allow good things to find me and fight for my attention 😉

[solomonish]

Not gonna lie, but I’m kinda curious about that aforementioned character playlists. . .

oh HELL yes my time has COME

so i really like making character playlists when i’m bored because it helps me get a feel for the character? and sometimes it’s just a lot of fun to put a song in there that doesn’t necessarily match and try to come up with a justification for it, you know? when i make playlists, some of the songs match them entirely, while some just give off a vibe with their genre or specific tune, others match because of the title, and some just have really good lyrics or a good line or two. sometimes i just add in a song i think they’d like to listen to! really, there’s not a lot of strict method between choosing songs, and i don’t stick to one specific type of music for any given playlist!

i have playlists for all seven brothers and solomon right now. the other nowdateables....i don’t have enough of a grasp on them right now to make a playlist for them? so they’re still upcoming. each playlist is subject to little tweaks, like adding or removing the occasional song, but most of the playlists are finished! The only two that might change the most are Beelzebub’s and Satan’s. Beel’s has the least songs and they’re all revolving around food and eating (at least the titles are) but i just......i don’t know his character well enough to branch out from that yet. Satan’s feels like I just shoved all of the songs i liked by fall out boy in a playlist and called it a day, so I’ll be reworking that one and tailoring it more to him instead of making it more like “hehe angery boy angy”

i am planning to make cute little playlist edits to properly introduce the playlists, but i can go ahead and give you a little intro to the playlists right now! 

and you can find all of my playlists right here! (spotify - might make them on youtube later!) ((double note: a few playlists had a couple kpop songs on them and recently some sort of deal with spotify expired so if you see gaps in the playlists, that’s why! feel free to ask what was there if you’re curious bc i think i remember? let’s hope anyway))

Solomon

Solomon’s is half a love letter (the beginning being a lot of love songs/songs meant to be sung to another person) and half a character playlist lol. His is the newest and it might be my favorite, but I don’t know if that’s because he’s my favorite or because of the songs. Probably both?

Favorite additions: Willow by Taylor Swift and Meet Me In The Woods by Lord Huron. Church by Aly & AJ is up there, too.

Lucifer

Lucifer’s is one where a lot of my decisions came from song title and vibe over actual content, but I still think a lot of it worked! His is the one with the most allusions to their angel days because he just...he’s the one who reminds me of it the most? He’s got a lot of songs titled “Halo” or “Oh My Dear Lord” or “Devil’s Den” and I’m not 100% sure why alksjlksdf. His is also the only one with his character song in it (though I’m probably gonna add Belphie’s into his) because those are the one’s I feel fit the vibes I already had in the playlists when the songs came out lol

Favorite Additions: The Lovers Dancing by Innerpartysystem, Saints by Echos, and Bubble by Danny Blu (Mr.Kitty Remix).

Mammon

Mammon’s has a lot of those songs that are like “haha i’m so rich and I’ve got chicks for days” while also having a lot of songs that are like “dance till we’re the last ones standing and it’s just you and me.” I feel like that kind of wanting the MC to himself fits without being too....eh? I don’t know? Too Much? He also has a lot of high-energy pop/house/edm/whatever because (especially after his character song came out) I feel like that’s what fits him!

Favorite Additions: Collide by Breathe Carolina, Inseparable by The Jonas Brothers, Big Plans by Why Don’t We.

Leviathan

Levi’s was the first one I made!! Although funnily enough I don’t have a lot to say about it? The music here is probably some of the most varied (or maybe i’m just making it up in my mind) and the songs range from “this describes levi” to “this describes being self conscious” to “this is about breaking out of the friend zone” to “pretty sure this song was popular in AMVs and nightcore” LOL but i think it ended up with being a really good playlist WITHOUT relying solely on like. anime OPs and EDs and vocaloid and stuff like that.

Favorite Additions: They Say You Won’t Come Back by Breathe Carolina, Just a Friend To You by Meghan Trainor, and Doubt by Twenty One Pilots.

Satan

Again, I’m not sure if my choices for him were genius or stupid but man did i make them. A lot of the beginning songs were me just trying to get a /feel/ for him because I’m still working out the balance between wrath and the rest of his personality so...subject to change but maybe not? Maybe I’ll just add a few less angry songs...but I still think what I have right now is good! I wouldn’t show you otherwise!

Favorite Additions: Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift, Duality by Set It Off, and Anti-Gravity by RUNAGROUND.

Asmodeus

Asmo’s playlist feels like one you’d put on while getting ready to go out with The Girls if you know what I mean? It does deal heavily with like. partying and songs about sex but it’s not gross? I don’t know how to explain it without it sounding that way lol. It’s not ALL sex and partying but I wanted a playlist that sounded like the color pink without just being bubblegum pop. I don’t know, I think it works lol

Favorite Additions: BFF by Slayyyter and Ayesha Erotica, Death By Sex by Kim Petras, queen of broken hearts by blackbear

Beelzebub

This is the one I have the least to say about 👉👈😔 no beel disrespect I just have a hard time reading his personality and, at least as far as I’ve gotten, the story kinda puts him on the backburner. but! i’m pretty happy with the songs i did end up choosing, even if they almost all have titles regarding food alskdfjdk

Favorite Additions: Eat Your Heart Out by WALK THE MOON and Starving by Hailee Steinfeld

Belphegor

This one!! For the longest time this one used to be my favorite because it has the barest semblance of character development? It doesn’t have a story or anything and the order is all coincidence BUT i feel like if you at least go in expecting this, maybe you’ll get a sense of feeling him slowly change his attitudes towards MC and fall in love? maybe? I don’t know maybe I just really like belphie alkdsf

Favorite Additions: HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T by Fall Out Boy, Please Don’t Say by Breathe Carolina, hot girl bummer by blackbear

and these are my playlists!! Like I said, I’m hoping to make cute edits so I can make posts about them but maybe that won’t even happen and I’ll just scream about them into the void one day lol feel free to let me know what you think and give me any suggestions (especially for beel!!) no hard feelings if i don’t put in any suggested songs though, i may ask for help but I’m also Extremely Picky aksdfds

Name's K but I mainly go by Crylock! She/her or they/them I'm not picky :) Please note that I am over 21 so only interact if you are 16+. My writing tends to focus on speculative fiction and posthumanist fiction since that's what I focused on in my graduate years, but I am open to writing any genre or format other than smut.

Book and history nerd extraordinare that is somewhat mathy (somewhat) I also do @phant0mspades @bli-jason-melwas and @raynerwilde-kjrp

You can literally message me anytime about just about anything.

Rules:

- I’m not comfortable doing smut. Do not ask.

- If you want to make a plot or send an ask that involves my characters, ask or let me know first. Do not rewrite my arcs or characters or copy my arcs or characters. I will block you if you do.

- I can write starters either as a post or as an ask. Just let me know if you want me to and if you have a preference.

- I can’t believe I have to write this one. Don’t talk behind my back or backstab me or any of that. I’m here to have fun and improve my writing, not deal with drama and bullshit. That’s an automatic block if I catch you.

- Be patient, please. I have severe anxiety and suffer from health issues that are currently being monitored with a heavy dose of medication. If I ask/say/clarify something that seems redundant, please work with me because I’m probably having an off day.

Please note: Cyber will talk in code and about odd things that she thinks make sense, this is her character. She is extremely neurodivergent and has been abused and hurt in the past because of this. She is not naturally a team player and will not trust your character, or will continue to question them to decide if she can. If you don’t understand something, please ask either in character or out of it. She will also lie and hide things from your character unless she cannot avoid being honest, she was taught to do this from a young age in order to survive.

If you want to rp something light-hearted, just let me know! Cyber is learning how to have fun and be herself. If Cyber is in a place that causes you distress let me know and we can rp with Spades or do a light-hearted one with either or my two.

[purplesurveys]

1328

What was the last piece of furniture you purchased? Oh I’m just not sure about furniture. That’s not something I tend to splurge on.

Have you ever broken up with someone for a reason other than lack of feelings (ex. moving away, etc.)? I’ve never broken up with someone; but when I was broken up with, it was a pool of reasons – they wanted to do things for themselves, was scared about the future, no plans to introduce me to the rest of the family, didn’t feel anything for me anymore, didn’t feel like trying anymore. Anyway, it was a whole fucking bonanza lmao and I absolutely hate her guts for it.

Has anyone ever told you that you are too picky when it comes to the people you date? What about not picky enough? I’ve never been told either but I can see why people would tell me I’m too picky, because I am.

When was the last time you went to a bar? Andi and I went last Saturday after our trip to the museum – funny story about that bar visit, too: So we were looking for a bar to settle in, and we eventually chose this place that was loudly blaring K-pop. We got our seat, took our order, got to talking, enjoyed the music and tried identifying the K-pop group per song...when the playlist changed to the usual Gen Z Fetty Wap Cardi B Drake :( I felt scammed lmfao.

What three things would you change about your life? A fully reorganized bedroom (aka with the TV, shelves, and elevated bed I’ve been wanting to have), more savings, and having the ability to cook well.

Was there anything unusual or unique about your birth? Not really, it’s just waiting to see the look on people’s faces when they find out I was born at 9:11 PM. Other than that my birth was ordinary.

What has happened in the past week that is worth remembering in five years? So...I just got promoted? And they have plans for me to have a major promotion in six months, too – essentially, my current promotion will be the stepping stone for the more major one. It honestly hasn’t sunk in yet since I’m still chasing down so much work before our agency shuts down for the Christmas break, but I’ll make sure to bask in it once I finally have the time to breathe. But yeah! That’s a pretty cool fucking thing that’s happened!!!

How much of your day did you spend completely alone? It’s only, like, 7:26 AM though lol. I’ll be working with Bea and Kata today, then I’m guessing that tonight I’ll be talking with my sister.

What was the best conversation you’ve had recently? I had a good, super casual conversation with Kata last Friday about recent changes and movements in the office, which I found pleasant since knowing about 2022 plans makes me really feel like I’m involved and part of the team.

What is the next book you are going to read? I have no clue. I might check out Almond by Sohn Won-pyung during my break; we’ll see.

Describe the hardest decision you have ever made. Taking my first sip of alcohol. I have such a complex relationship with it owing to my family’s troubles with alcoholism, and my own childhood vows to never put alcohol anywhere near my mouth; so deciding whether I should try it was a extremely bigger deal for me than most. In the end I tried it, and I loved it, and I quickly realized my family is just stupid at handling their alcohol.

Why did you last see the doctor? To get a diagnosis on my weird fever that had been lasting for a week at that point. But does it have to be a doctor for people...? Most recently I went to the vet to take Cooper for a checkup, since his tummy’s been acting strange.

Post a recent picture of yourself. Eh.

How do you spend the majority of your free time? Just BTS-ing and doing BTS things.

What do you want to accomplish tomorrow? Tomorrow will be the last day of work before our office shutdown, so I HOPE I hope I hope I hope we finish everything that has yet to be accomplished so that we can use our phones and laptops as least often as possible during our break.

List the cards in your wallet. My debit card, driver’s license, Starbucks card, arcade card, gas station card, and a few calling cards.

What was the last thing to inspire you? My promotion.

Who was the last person to do something nice for you? My mom prepared my food for the day in a Tupperware because she’s well aware I work to death and tend to genuinely forget to feed myself.

What was the lowest point of this year? The highest? Low point was sulking to sad music from January to March when I was still reeling over the breakup; highest point was anything that had to do with experiencing great friendships because of BTS, whether it was streaming an online concert together, jamming in the car, or waiting til midnight for a new teaser to drop. I honestly can’t believe it’s been the same year?

Is there any artwork in the room you’re in? Sure. I have Audrey Hepburn-themed pop art on my walls.

What is your number one short-term goal? Long-term? Short-term goal is to get a backup phone - something that would let me text and call, essentially. A long-term of mine is to save up to get a legit next phone.

Are you dealing with anything difficult at the moment? Not really, no.

[shycutie101]

Fineee, I’ll do a sappy post

Warning, very ranty

As all of you know, Julie and the Phantoms has been out for an entire year already which is absolutely insane! Apparently time does fly when you are having fun.

Anyway, I found JATP through one of my online theatre friends. She called me up one day and forced me to take a which JATP character are you quiz on Buzzfeed. So techinally, Buzzfeed kinda helped me find JATP which is kinda weird to think about. So, after I took the quiz (If any of you were curious, I got Flynn) my theatre friend BEGGED me to watch it. Usually, I never watch shows people suggest to me (I’m extremely picky ok?) But something told me in my soul told me that I needed to watch this show so I finally caved and watched it while I was trying to work on my history essay. Needless to say, that essay was quickly abandoned.

The moment now or never started, I was drawn in. Fun little fact, as I watched Now Or Never, I kept sitting there trying to guess who was Julie since I didn’t know there would be the 2020 thing. Anyway, as I kept watching, I quickly saw exactly why my friend begged me to watch this show.

The moment Madison Reyes came on screen, I was like “Yup, this is the one.” Something immediately drew me to Julie’s character. Then it got into the whole storyline with Julie’s mom and I was hooked. I get distracted so easily but with JATP, I sat through the whole thing without even touching my phone ONCE which really says a lot.

Seeing a hispanic lead being able to shine was something so important to me. I was never really super in touch with my culture but this show/Madison really inspired me. 

And then came Alex.

Obviously Alex was in the show since the beginning but finding out he was gay with no super huge coming out was very shocking to me. I even had to replay the scene to make sure I had heard it right. Them just saying he was gay and not making some big deal about it was something so important to me, as someone in the LGBTQ+ commiunity. And don’t even get me started on Willie, I love him with my whole heart and Willex being two guys who love each other and not having anyone be against it is so beautiful.

And how can I not talk about the songs? I listen to the playlist like 5 times a day (My life is really unexciting ok?”) The songs just made me feel so many different things and pushed my drive for music even more. I would like the thank the cast, the crew and all the other fantoms for not only creating this amazing show but keeping the fanbase alive, even when the idea of a renewal is still unknown to us. Thank you all<3

Lucky number: 13 <3

Instruments: I played guitar for a little bit but I don’t remember so much anymore (it was a high school phase). I am a mediocre clarinet player who was first chair during my years playing (only like that word because of Spongebob hahaha, so I guess you can say I was pretty good). I played piano since I was six and still dabble in it (played both genres of classical and other things like video games, anime, pop culture, etc). Does it count if I sing in the choir? I’m an alto voice who can switch to soprano if the number is lacking for the service. Currently perfecting the organ because I am practicing in church :) If you’re lucky, you can hear a wild Gracy humming or just singing to herself. Looking to pick up another instrument and the violin is kinda tempting!

What am I wearing: Black leggings, BT21 Cooky Striped Crew Socks, Sailor Moon black long sleeve, and Pink Sailor Moon hoodie from a friend’s shop (please check out https://www.instagram.com/special.move/ if you like anime hoodies!

Dream trip: Visit the #chaoshouse members and just hangout. Other than that, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. 

Favorite food: Don’t make me choose! TT_TT My brother and boyfriend already have problems with me being picky and incredibly indecisive when it comes to “What are we eating?”

Nationality: An American that is looking for any way out

Favorite song: All K-Pop songs are stuck on repeat and favorites do change depending on what comes up on shuffle. BUTTTTT...the one song that hits home with me is Epiphany and it’s sung by Jin from BTS as his solo. Not because he is one of my bias, but if you listen and understand the lyrics (yay for English translations) you’ll see why :) 

Last book read: My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. I am throwing up all warnings because the content material, or practically the entire book, is very triggering!!! This is an extremely dark book and even I had to put it down several times because it was definitely difficult to finish. It was hauntingly good read, but the subject material is what really made it difficult. My heart goes out to the author. 

Top three fictional universes I’d like to live in: Harry Potter, not only to chase after Draco, but to live out my childhood. I DO NOT support the author and I would love to make that clear. The Wizarding World is something that has always appealed to me growing up and I used to wish about attending Hogwarts. I am still awaiting my acceptance letter!!!! Maybe anything in the manga/anime field because have you seen the creativity and how awesome the worlds are?!? (Being a hero in MHA, surviving in AoT, raising a Psyduck in Pokemon, etc.). Last would probably be...crud...this is hard...but maybe Star Wars because, apparently, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, and Diego Luna are enough to convince me that men like that exist <3. In all seriousness, that series  is legit...umph.....so imaginative. Because I said so, maybe LotR because I wanna run around with @mystic-scripture and fulfill our Hobbit dreams....and marry Eomer...because Karl Urban. Also Star Trek....because Karl Urban....and Chris Pine....and cause I love it too. Goodness, I am just blowing this question out of proportion with my thirstiness hahaha.

Three Ships:

Look despite being a terrible romance novelist I’m not a huge shipper and when I am it’s extremely niche. No, nicher than that.

1. Mako Mori x Raliegh Beckett

Look the main draw of PacRim (besides y’know all of it) is just how totally and completely (but not necessarily romantically) gone Raleigh is on Mako from the second he lays eyes on her, and how respectful of her authority and agency he is in that context. Also like, I either want to grow up to be her or to marry her, not picky, so like, I relate.

2. Selva x Alice

We were making Chaos Triangle jokes well before two thirds of it went canon, but go canon it did, and they’re stupid cute together, as well as being utter chaos. (Namesake is a Delight and you should go read it.)

3. The titular Ghost & Mrs. Muir

Shockingly I come to my enjoyment of bittersweet, somewhat tragic romance honestly. This ship has everything, ghosts, pining, enemies-to-lovers (sort of)... (The film from the 40s is better than the sitcom from the 60s, imo, because the film is a lot sharper on the bitter and less saccharine on the sweet (and also Gene Tierney is *extremely* pretty), but like, they’re both a good time.)

Last Songs Listened to:

‘Achilles Come Down’ by Gang of Youths, and my Get the Fuck to Work playlist, which is a random collection of extremely upbeat songs to prevent me from falling asleep at the wheel getting the fuck to work (admittedly less of a worry now that my shift doesn’t start at four fucking thirty), and also, because it is that time of year, ‘This Year’ by The Mountain Goats, though it’s the Shearwater cover, which I prefer to the original. Also I did my semi-annual ‘oh, it can’t have been that bad’ The Pirate Queen relisten and yeah, it is still that bad and I am still so mad about it.

Currently Watching:

Look if you haven’t guessed it’s Kingdom for like, the fifth time in a row I don’t know what to tell you. I have literally never run into something that so perfectly captures my very distinct tastes in zombie horror, high stakes political drama, and clothing-accurate period pieces, but this does all three beautifully at the same time with a side helping of ridiculous wuxia-style combat to top it all off, without devolving into either a weird sex thing or tipping out the other side and falling into gratuitous violence, dropped political plot threads, or catering to a modern audience who doesn’t know what they’re looking at. Also Seo-bi is there and I love her. This is both serious horror and, like, my go to comfort show I don’t know what to tell you.

Currently Reading:

...Mostly poetry, actually, which is somewhat unusual. Picked up Crush again, because Siken’s publishing again, thank god, and I am not in a place to enjoy Ruth Stone but I desperately want to be, so uh, that’s not going well, and my copy of the.... paired translation of Neruda (in that one page has the original Spanish and the other has the English translation) came in, and I do like this translator’s take on it, so that’s nice, and then, of course, it’s the time of year for Margaret Atwood and Mary Oliver and Ursula K LeGuin. Also I am reading God Stalk again and look, if you’ve never read God Stalk you should go do so immediately, it’s so good, I am begging you.

How’s it Going?

My dudes, I’m going to be honest here, I’m so stressed I’m physically falling apart, like I am on and off bleeding to death from various places and my bones hurt all the damn time, and to top it off I am *literally* losing my mind, like I haven’t lost this much time since the last time I tried to kill myself, and there is no light at the end of this tunnel, just a train running dark, and god am i looking forward to letting covid kill me.

Other than that though, can’t really complain. I’ve got a job, my family’s healthy, what more can I ask for?

Anyways, I have absolutely zero idea who’s been tagged so uh, if this is a rerun sorry. @thebluestofdaisies @violetutterances @sweetdreamr @brightoncemore

12, 16, 22, 26, 35 for the ask game 😊

Oh wow! Thank you for the many questions!

12. Tell us about a WIP that you’re excited about

I’ll be honest and admit that writing has been difficult these last few months and at the moment, my WIPs are more often associated with dread than excitement. It’s okay, I don’t blame myself for finding my word documents a bit daunting. I’m doing my best to recharge, so hopefully I’ll be able to open a story soon and just write a few thousands words at once!

Who knows, I might be struck by inspiration by the time I’m done with this ask and start a new project too haha!

[possible edit later when I’m excited about something, don’t lose hope! I can also talk about creative burn out, that’s something I don’t struggle writing for somehow...]

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)

I actually like soulmate AUs, but I’m extremely picky about them so I pretend I don’t like them much…

[I could be convinced to explain my opinion at length xD]

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

I love to have music playing!

Most of my fics have their own playlists, I make them during the planning process so I get sick of most of the songs before the end of the story, but I cherish those playlists all the same! Sometimes I focus on a single song, especially for shorter works, and I can also use ambiance music if the atmosphere of a scene or entire story is specific enough.

I’m easily bothered by noises like the tv/the radio or people talking when I’m trying to focus so if I can’t listen to music for some reason (I do need silence sometimes), I also use sounddrown which is a wonderful app for background noises!

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

I challenged myself a lot last year with kinktober, the wingo or the Heline advent calendar so I tried a lot of things that felt out of my comfort zone or downright scary, it’s hard to think of anything else now… I’d love to write a longer Heline story, that’s for sure! If only I had ideas…

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

How kind of you!

You know how people are like, either for, or against concrit? The fandom olds elite vs the writers just wanna have fun?

I fall more in the elite category, I’m not that old in age, but I’ve been in fandom for a good 12 years now, and I’ve seen a few trends. I’m also bilingual, so I think I carry some cultural things with me when it comes to “proper fandom etiquette”. It’s quite fascinating.

I personally don’t want to leave SPAG errors in my stories, and I’m not willing to read any fanfic that doesn’t meet this standard. Big fan of the “close tab” and “back” buttons here!

The “no beta, we die like men” tag drives me nuts for that reason, and I just wanna say: bold of you to assume I enjoy picking at my work for hours and then have someone come after me to find everything I have missed!

Don’t take me wrong, I don’t mind putting in the work and I love the end result, but I am also reluctant to have that beta-reading feedback.

I love plotting and planning my fics, doing all the world building and character development, that’s my fun, but damn, my lovely betas double my work load, and I can’t say I get higher stats than other people just because I have a beta x) I’m sure it helps though!

I love working with my betas, I value their opinion and I think the fic comes out better for it.

It doesn’t hurt any less to steel myself for the concrit. I’ve had to go for a walk and think things through before I could answer to comments and make changes according to the feedback I received.

It does wonder for my ego, and it’s like giving that finishing touch that makes me love the stories long after I posted them. I can’t look back on my work in anger, because I did my best already.

The idea that “it’s easy to criticize” doesn’t take into account the reason someone is taking the time to offer concrit, nor the thought that someone puts into it. Beta-readers and especially critic partners are doing this for free, and they even give you relevant opinions! Respect them D:

So yeah, the fandom olds elite vs the writers just wanna have fun? Good on you, have fun, and let me be my perfectionist self.

In the end, it depends on the audience and what they’re willing to submit themselves to. I’m not reading something I can barely comprehend, so I better write something understandable, because I’m definitely reading my fics again ;)
