hello!! i have thoughts about the hunger au worldbuilding <3

okay so

will Grian ever have an encounter with the Watchers in the fic (you dont have to answer ofc)?? but if he did,, what would his reaction be???

are they looking for him? did they just let him leave??

because- like. from what i can remember they didnt have any malicious intent towards him?? like Watchers function on a completely different moral level so they didnt mean any harm they DID harm him, y'know? if that makes sense??

also! do they Watchers love him in the sense of like,, parent child love? or do they simply view him as their offspring TM

now that im typing this out i feel like this is all very spoilery ish so you probably wont be able to answer it, but!!! i had to try >:)

-🐛

Hey bug anon!!! Dw i can answer these, thanks for asking!! :D

The Watchers wont be showing up in the main fic-- although theres definitely room for them to appear in future oneshots!!! That being said, uhhh.... Grian would NOT have a good reaction to seeing them again. He's got a lot of trauma surrounding them-- thats like, hardcore panic attack breakdown territory if he ever had another encounter.

And the Watchers are looking for him, actually-- community is such a big part of Watcher culture that its anathema to them that he'd ever even want to leave in the first place, and they worry a lot for his safety (considering hes both an integral piece of restoring their population, and because to them, striking out on your own is synonymous with death). They've been looking for him for years now, though by the time the fic takes place, that's tapered off from any active searching. These days, they only look where their feeding happens to take them (many of their colony assume he's dead, but some still hold out hope despite everything).

They didnt let him leave. Grian spent YEARS carefully watching them, cataloging their habits, learning how both they and his new body worked, before making a rapid and desperate escape. But they also didnt hold any malicious intent! Like you said, they just have a completely different moral structure, and ultimately, they were just following their customs. Community values dictate they stick together, so Grian's mad run for freedom took them all terribly by surprise, and was ultimately what gave him the leverage to successfully escape

I think the way Watchers parse the concept of love is very different from ours-- i hesitate to say they loved Grian if only because i dont feel like they define that feeling the same way Players would or even how we do irl. But they did deeply care. Juveniles are highly valued and taken care of by the entire community-- although Grian had the mind of an adult, not a freshly hatched juvenile, so that did make a slight difference in how they viewed him. I think a more accurate way to look at how they felt about him is that of a mentors and mentee relationship, where they taught him how to survive as one of them, and fully incorporated him as a member into their colony. He was genuinely cared for; in my head, i liken them to a well-meaning but very controlling family (though not a nuclear one)

Thanks again for the ask, bug anon!! :D it was nice to get a chance to talk about this!! I definitely want to write the Watchers proper at some point, so who knows-- maybe in a future oneshot, they might appear. Whether thats a pre-canon fic or a future one...... well, who's to say >:]

Changeling Trio with human s/o Characters: Otto, Nomura, Strickler Warnings: None, just general fluff

Otto Scaarbach

He is not the smoothest man out there. But he certainly has a charm to him like no other. Maybe its the accent, maybe its the blue eyes, or maybe its just cause you find him cute.

All things considered this German Changeling was certainly lucky to have you come into his life. He wasn't really looking for anyone , it kind of just happened. First you started seeing more of eachother. Then it was that time in the bakery, and before he knew it he had asked you to have lunch with him.

After that things took off on their own. You two spent a lot of time together, outside of his work hours with the Janus Order of course, he tried to hide it from you really. And boy was he good at that.

It would definitely take him a while to become comfortable enough to tell you he is a Changeling. History has not exactly been kind to his species. And he really values you as someone he holds dear, so he is really risking ruining things with this.

But he shows you that he's not human. You stare at him bewildered for a moment, before you get up slowly and take a step forward eyes gleaming with curiosity. You gently but a hand to his cheek while he's in troll form. Its warm and surprisingly smooth. You tenderly massage his cheek in a loving way and you say "Its you, no matter what you look like you are still my Otto"

At that he lets a breath he didn't even know he was holding. He is so relieved that you dont mind thats he's not human. You tell him sure you were surprised but at the end of the day he's still the same persom no matter what form he takes.

At that he picks you up with strength you never knew he had and gives you a gentle kiss while he holds you in his arm. He tells you how much he loves you and how happy he is that you accept him no matter what he is.

Zelda Nomura:

She is a creature that prefers to keep more to herself. If she's in a relationship its open with benefits. And it was almost always with another Changeling.

But when she met you things changed. Suddenly she didn't want things so open. She genuinely found that she wanted to take it slow and get to know you.

You are simple and plan, but you are who you are and that's what draws her in. The fact that you don't care what people think inspired her. Your thick skinned and stick to your morals.

She would see you day after day around Arcadia and one day she just got curious so she decided to take a seat on the park bench just across from you. She wouldn't say anything, she would just observe you. This would go on until, she deiced to approach you. You weren't a changeling, so you were new territory and that intimidated her as much as it excited her.

She started with a hello and the conversation took off from there. She had a spark in her that made you want to listen to what she was saying. It helped that you are both into artifact and relics. You enjoyed African artifacts and she fancied European ones more herself.

She felt safe around you, the two of you could talk about anything. You both had a spot in town where you liked to meet and it became a habit. You had slipped into her life so easily.

One night you invited her over for dinner and she accepted. The evening was going wonderfully until you heard something moving on the roof. She tried to assure you it was nothing but you insisted on going outside to check. The next thing you knew you were being attacked by a small swarm Goblins. She immediately sprung into action shedding her human form and killing them off with her giant blades.

She stood over you fear written in her eyes and you staired up at her mouth agape and eyes bugged out. She turned and ran away. You yelled after her but she was already gone in a flash.

It has been weeks since you had spotted her. She made a good effort to keep away from you after that night. However she got unlucky and one day you were able to catch her, grabbing her wrist before she could turn away. You pleaded for her to talk to you. You said you didn't blame her for what happened and you were happy she was there. You told her you didn't care what she looked like, that all that mattered was who she was. And that to you she was a beautiful person.

In a moment of vulnerability she lets tears slip down her face as you pulled her in for a hug. Relieved that the relationship you two had built wasn't ruined.

Walter Stricklander:

We all know Walt is smooth, so situation of romance more often then not tended to go his way. He could have anyone person he set his sights on.

For some odd reason he choose you. Someone he saw lost in a pile of history books at the Library. Maybe it was the way the sun shone through the window upon you in a poetic sort of way, or maybe it was that you looks so whimsically lost in your readings.

He began to frequent the Library much more often in hopes of getting to see you.

One day, perhaps by accident or perhaps by his careful planning the two of you reached out for the same book hands touching. You shyly offered to let him have the book as you had read that one several times. He mentioned that he had also read it dozens of times.

He offered to have a scholarly conversation with you over the book and it took of from there.

The two of you began to have regular Library dates where one of you would pick up some coffee and the two of you would spend hours talking over the material you both knew by heart.

Slowly overtime your relationship blossomed into something he would want to protects. And try as he might to keep you away from it all sooner or later his other life would catch up with him and he knew this.

So rather than wait for it to randomly happen one day, he made the decision to tell you before you two became more serious with each other

He invited you to tea at his place one day and that is how he would break the news to you, in the comfort of his own home. You could tell shortly after you had been inside that something was off with Walter.

Once he told you everything and then showed you he waited quite anxiously for your reply. You were taken very off guard by his transformation. You got up, excused yourself to the bathroom.

It took you 15 minutes to process this new information and when you came back he had changed back fearing he made you uncomfortable with his troll form.

You sat next to him and gently put a hand on his shoulder. Telling that this would take some getting used to, but that you were in no way uncomfortable by him or by his being a changeling.

To you he was the same old Walt after all, and if you really thought about it having a supernatural boyfriend really was kind of interesting.

He was happy and relived to say the least.

2 10 n 11 :)

this is basically an essay im so sorry. watch how hard i can infodump (ill put this under a cut hopefully it works bc sometimes tumblr decimates the keep reading things if theyre in asks)

2. Who’s your favorite of the Bound? What do you think of the different ideologies they have? Which of the factions are you most aligned with?

WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER I AM A PETER LOVER THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!!!! oh baby i love that morally questionable architect. pretty early on in getting into pathologic (it’s coming up on a year now...) i thought about peter stamatin too hard and now i’m here. but really i find him to be such a fascinating character!

the thing about pathologic that i love is how almost every character can be as complex as you want. pathologic does an excellent job of implying a lot of character traits while only exploring some in further detail, which in some games is frustrating but patho does it so well! it consistently hints at traits and lets you fill in the details yourself. peter’s character is extremely interesting to me... and maybe a little more relatable at times than i want to admit lol.

i think i’ll talk about both stamatins though! their dynamic hurts me a lot. i’ll start with andrey bc i’ve been thinking about him lately. although i’ll bounce back and forth between both stamatins.

i’ve said this before but i’ll say it again.... andrey’s role as a protector who inadvertently hurts the people he cares about really gets to me. he is not a shield but, in his own words, a battering ram. and the problem is that battering ram has a recoil.

i have to wonder how that mentality of his came about, anyways. the implication is that it’s always just been him and peter, so did he take on that role because there wasn’t anyone else to do it?

in his efforts to protect peter from... military, i believe, he kills four people. which leads to daniil getting mistaken for andrey, which leads to daniil getting shot. and almost dying. he protects peter but to a smothering extent, peter even says he’s been suffering for ten years bc of andrey which is a LOADED line. he protects on a physical level but he kinda fucks up on the emotional.

there’s a horrible irony in peter and eva being the people he cares about the most and both attempting suicide. with eva once she’s missing he immediately goes running off trying to look for her, and . ahh i can’t remember right off hand what exactly he thought happened. but ik he was probably expecting a fight. with peter he says that after that he’ll never let peter leave his side, at least “as far as his knife can fly”... it sounds cheesy but the one thing he can’t save anyone from is themself.

and god the way andrey bases his ENTIRE sense of self worth on peter fucking hurts. they’re not peter and andrey, the architects. they’re Peter And Andrey, The Architect. (thinking about “one architect, two brothers” here.) andrey thinks he’s larger than life and all but he’s constantly living in peter’s shadow. their theatre of death positions come to mind here, with peter standing up, looking down at andrey. but andrey is on his knees in front of peter, arms limp to his sides.... separated by a wooden beam...

peter’s side of this dynamic is fascinating too. his dependency on andrey is. ow. leaving all practical matters and decision making to him... there’s this resentment (That’s Fine I’ve Been Suffering For Ten Years Because Of Him) and lack of communication that especially shows through for him.

while in p2 andrey completely crumbles if peter dies, peter doesn’t seem to care...... at all....?? which hopefully is elaborated upon in p2. he’s willing to talk to aspity about worrying if andrey is angry with him but he can’t bring it up with andrey himself. when he asks how andrey is doing he stops and says andrey is a “tough man” and can handle anything. in general, while it’s definitely there for andrey, themes of dependency are really glaringly obvious for peter.

one of my favorite peter things i’ve talked about before is still his ego!!! peter has a gigantic ego!!! he really does think that even though he’s hit the ceiling and can’t go any further he is still “a true architect” and “the rock upon which is built the stairway to tomorrow”. he has a blunt edge to him and he doesn’t ever tell you more than he thinks he needs to which i love. if he doesn’t want to tell you something he isn’t gonna do it. this is a character trait i think ppl miss which is sad because it’s so good and adds another layer of depth to him!

it really does hurt me how he’s valued for his mind alone (AHEM AHEM AHEM. GEORGIY) but it’s the thing nobody understands about him. i’m nowhere near as smart as peter lol but i do know that pain of feeling like none of your ideas can be understood because you just can’t express them the way you’d like, and then feeling like you’ll never be able to make it happen.

also, here’s a little thing  i’ve picked up on. this connection probably doesn’t exist but i’m making it because the stamatins make me lose my mind and start becoming one of those people who looks for connections in everything i guess. peter standing in the theatre of death, andrey below him. peter’s loft being at a high point in the town, the broken heart being underground. peter’s loft is also higher north on the map but the broken heart is lower south. just smth interesting

i have more thoughts on them of course! but this is all getting awfully long. i feel like i’ve only just gotten to the tip of the iceberg  even though i’ve written so much skfjskfjs this just feels quite surface level or. at least what is surface level for me who thinks about the stamatins so hard.

anyways i’ll keep my answers to the other two parts of this question quick! peter and andrey’s more creative vs practical mindsets are rly neat. especially because i would actually argue peter is a little more grounded in reality in certain aspects. not all, but certain ones...... their take on the utopian ideology is interesting. hot take: peter’s version of utopianism leans a tad towards humility. and andrey /does/ feel “straightforward utopian” but i think in certain regards? this man has a bit of a termite streak..... (hi al if you’re reading this). but i won’t get into that right now i’ve already gone on so long. saving that for later.

i think all of the factions kinda suck in their own way sometimes, honestly? although all of them are well written and have their pros and cons. were i in pathologic and i had to choose one i’d probably be a termite but everyone around me seems to think i’m a utopian. is it bc i love peter so much

10. What would you be like as a Pathologic character?

this question is a hard one! i did make a self insert once, mile-a-minute, but they’ve become their own oc by now. i think i’d be very...... very afraid...... probably isolating myself why does every pathologic character break quarantine???? also you could trade beetles with me :) thats about all i’ve got sorry this is real short

11. What is something you would change, writing-wise, about either game?

UGH i’ve been gushing about pathologic because. obviously i love this game so much. but the way it handles racism & such (in both games!) leaves much to be desired :/

i see a lot of the points it’s trying to make but i think the way they’re handled can be very messy. there are moments that work very well but. a lot that don’t. (i am aware that dybowski writes partially from his own experiences)

all too often the game “validates” the kin’s oppression and... at times paints them as oddly antagonistic? i don’t like how often as artemy you’re able to be like “i’m not one of those beasts” and i think there are better ways to touch on his internalized racism. in general the constant comparisons to animals is weird. you get big vlad who is obviously explicitly racist comparing them to animals, but then sometimes it’s like “ACTUALLY calling them animals is fine :)”

i think the herb brides are kind of. Hm. in their portrayal. also using parts of the buryat alphabet to denote an accent is weird. making odongh and herb brides inhuman is weird. connecting the kin to Magic is weird.

and, listen, i’d really like to not be playing Artemy Burakh Experiences a Microaggression Simulator every time i’m playing the haruspex route. hate that you either can’t call ppl out on their shit or if you can it ends the conversation/bars you from getting necessary information. glad you at least get to drag the vlads, i guess?

i also was talking about this but wrt peter specifically, and this issue is present throughout the game but it’s especially visible with peter, i don’t like how often you can mock him for his addiction.

he’s obviously in an extremely rough patch! being able to be just so plain cruel to him about the dependency on alcohol (and iirc in p1 hallucinogens, bc aglaya mentions it) he’s formed to cope with his mental illness & trauma just feels bad. especially because yes it is not a healthy coping mechanism at all but... it still is a coping mechanism, if that makes sense?

the way you’re able to constantly rub it in his face feels awful. peter is fully aware that it isn’t good for him and shows a desire to quit. even if he didn’t it would still be awful to say because. it’s just insensitive. like you don’t just go up to someone and keep being like HEY YOU DRINK A LOT YOU SHOULD STOP DOING THAT DO YOU KNOW WHAT WATER IS? feels really bad to keep harping on something that causes him pain and that he struggles with every single day.

however peter does have moments where he tells you Not to say that, or if you pry into why he drinks he’ll outright say he doesn’t remember you being his friend, which is better than nothing.

in p1 moreso than p2 i hate how you can be like oh he’s craaaazy he’s off his rocker he’s delusional!!!! that “why, i never... an architect of schizophrenia!” comment sticks in my mind because it’s just... so genuinely mean. especially because if i remember correctly that line is from when he’s planning on LITERALLY FUCKING BURNING HIMSELF ALIVE

i think if they were going to have all of this they should have gone more in depth on how it’s really. not good that he’s treated so poorly. and i do believe that’s what they were going for, a la the art book w/ the whole “not to be made into a drunken clown, this is a tragic character”, etc. but it just doesn’t land. i’m holding out for the bachelor and changeling routes in p2 to see if they expand upon any of it but i highly doubt i’ll be satisfied in this regard.

i stand by the One time it was really fucking funny to clown on peter being the time you can tell him little girls eat raspberries and earthworms and he just believes you

http://thetwistedrope.tumblr.com/post/178418131172/i-think-the-other-thing-thats-on-my-mind

There is so much wrong with this post that it boggles my mind.

“Why are you all so afraid of including politics in your religion? Why are you all so afraid to admit that politics literally influences every aspect of your life and the lives of those around you?”

Well for one thing, Devo, we have a little thing in the US called the First Amendment. You might know it from school (if you bothered to pay attention in your history/civics class). “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” You might also have been taught about Thomas Jefferson’s “wall separating church and state” 1, which was the intent behind the First Amendment. The founders of the US were very familiar with the church sticking its fingers into politics, and many people were actually, genuinely oppressed by European governments because of this. 2

There’s been another group in the US that’s been trying to remove that wall, Devo. It’s the Christian Right 3, and they want to elect people who uphold the tenets of their interpretation of Christianity. They don’t believe that America was meant to have a separation of church and state. They think that all US citizens should be Christian, women should not have access to safe abortions or contraception, homosexuals shouldn’t have rights, a plethora of other values that would violate the rights of people who aren’t conservative Christians. This group wants to establish God’s kingdom on earth through the use of government. They’re injecting politics into their religion. They’re doing the EXACT thing that you’re calling Kemetics to do, but I GUARANTEE you don’t want these people in power. What makes it ok for you to mix your religion and politics together but not them? This is why I, amongst quite a few other Kemetics, disagree with you on this matter.

The role of government is to preserve the rights of individuals, but large organizations can be slow and unwieldy in creating effective change. Just look at the gay rights movement; it started in the 60s/70s and only just recently has LGBT folks gained widespread acceptance and government recognition for marriage. It took widespread, grassroots efforts from a wide group of people to create that change; the government didn’t do that. You can slowly change the hearts and minds of people (Which you breathtakingly fail at), but YOU CAN’T LEGISLATE MORALITY.

A lot of politicians don't even give a shit about you. I voted third party because I thought Trump would be a terrible diplomat, and Clinton was a corporate shill. Neither of them give a shit about you. Sanders claims to be a socialist who cares about the poor, but he has 3 homes! You can't trust that voting for a politician or party is going to accomplish the things you want.

You can’t legislate morality or vote for what's moral because not everyone agrees upon what’s right or moral. You keep using the word “marginalized”. Who do you mean by that? Why do you believe that they’re marginalized? How is a group of people (women, ethnic minorities, LGBT, etc.) marginalized? How do we agree on who is marginalized, and how do we find the way to best help these people? You don’t explore these questions with others, nor do you make any rational arguments to convince people. You either just call people racists, sexists, homophobes, etc., or you use arguments based on ideologies stemming from cultural Marxism or intersectional feminism (you know, instead of Marx’s idea of different classes in a perpetual fight, it’s different social groups). You do the equivalent of standing on a soapbox and proclaiming that we proles have to take down the white, straight, male bourgeoisie. I don’t believe that’s how the world works, and i don’t believe that people who have the same damn right I do are fucking oppressed.

See, I’m interested in the truth. I believe the moral thing to do is to study the truth and make decisions based on the truth. I don’t believe that you or your cohorts are telling the truth. I think you’re all just regurgitating bullshit that you’ve heard on Tumblr, Marxist college professors, feminist websites, and you know, that woman-abusing black supremacist Karenga. I don’t think ethnic minorities or women are being systematically oppressed.4, 5, 6, 7, 8 I could post a crap-ton of statistics that don’t jive with the far-left’s claims, and I’ll gladly do so if you’d like (If you read Dangerous by the infamous Milo Yiannopoulos he has an assload). Maybe we could help people if we took a good honest look at the truth and had a debate/dialogue as to what to do, but I've yet to see you or any of your buddies do that.

You don’t care about the truth. You have stopped up your ears to Ma’at. You care more about your political ideology, and you use your religion as a bludgeon to bring people into line.

I’d call that isfet.

Hello lovely! Your secret santa again!!! Here to ask you what you like about bughead? What do you love about Jughead's character? Bettys? Veronica's? Archie's? Look, I am going to throw Reggie in there because I feel like he would be the master of a BBQ/want to play some Aussie rules. Tell me what you'd like to see in the character dynamics! x x x

oh dear thats a loaded question 😅 heres a little essay with some salt because im a bitter soul

to put it simply my love for bughead and what made me so into them was just this mutual understanding they have, obviously on the show that shall not be named they were on the same wave length the same morals and values even some of the same fears, two very different people that are so insync and comfortable around each other i find it so odd people on that show in that universe can think they can be as comfortable with themselves as they are with eachother with other partners no other person has that understanding they have between each other, veronica alice archie fp all have their views on betty and jughead as people and they all seem to have these altered views on them e super negitive or underestimating or limiting them to a version of them they feel comfortable with where as betty and jughead dont have false views on each other jughead does think betty has hung the moon and stars but he aknowledges and accepts the bad parts of her, and vice versa for betty with jug she equally adores him！ and as i explored outside the show into the comics i was pleased to find mostly this translates to those！ not the fears jug isnt exactly complaining about boy trouble but the mutual understanding of each other stays even platonically, their characters just have always overlapped somehow more so in the newer story based stuff but a lot of the time in oneshots too im finding and i think that is pretty cool, this obviously is my interpretation and i havent read every archie comic out there but what i see is two people who come together to be open and honest together in this safe bubble they create

what i loved about jughead is his drama and angst i love characters like that, he is annoying but thats why i love him non ironically one of my fav lines of his on the show from my fav ep was the im weird speech, it was honestly the most realistic shit that show has done he is an annoying broody kid ranting，i love that literally nearly every version out there of jughead adores betty its ingrained into his character to stick up for her usually from archie, i also love that he is a nerd and sometimes takes shit too far its just chaotic energy lol he is just so annoying but also right most of the time thats why he is so smug！, my favs jugs are the hungers rd specifically s3 and the archie 2015 series but he basically turned in rd jug with the recent add ons 😅

for betty i just love this bitch like she just tries her best ya know？she isnt perfect shes got many flaws but at her core she does everything for the people she loves sometimes without caring about her own wellbeing, girls way too hard on herself, she also has cute clothes and is generally adorable, for her with the other characters obviously in love with jug is key, i want in my b and v a good healthy friendship not an “archie comics friendship” centered around a guy 😑 and for that said guy mr andrews obviously its a very touchy place atm and literally for the past 80yrs lmao, i liked her having a childish crush forced on her by expectations set by everyone around her but her realising he aint shit and being bros instead（is it that hard canon？！）i like her confident and focused being the badass bitch she is, which naturally is why the hungers betty is my favourite 😉 anything thats not her moping around over a guy and being a person with feelings is pleasing to me really...and beheading werewolves...

miss lodge, love her shes the one i feel most like myself whoch i guess is why i dont like her a lot of the time, i see her as bisexual theres no way that woman does not love women（on that note i dont think any of the crew are straight if that helps lol） i love her fashion her pets names for people I LOVE jughead and veronica bromances even if they still mutually hate each other i want them to be lowkey friends, just any jug v interactions perfection best duo ever, i dont ship varchie im a veggie gal i pretty much ship veronica with everyone but archie i think （that also applies to betty）cheronica beronica veggie platonic jeronica vilton all good, my fav version of her is vampironica （i kinda hate her on rd and most digest stuff but thats bad writing she genuinely is a good character like betty but dome so poorly because she isnt written right）

archie...i dont think theres a single version of him i like he is such an empty character clearly a self insert for the sexist writers，just make him a himbo please all fo the archies suck so a likeable guy would be nice！that respects women not got washboard abs maybe a little bulk but i see him as a dork and not a sex symbol, actually you know what i like about archie his relationship with valarie in the comics and the show thats peak archie imo

im a big reggie fan. he is what archie wishes he was, i like beggie and veggie romantically but platonically as well tbh, and bffs with jughead too love their dynamic！i love his dog vader i love his look i love the charm i love the constant flirting with everyone, reggie is god tier, i like my archies and reggies as himbos for veronica， he also is definately not straight

basically if its canon take it out back and shoot it with some love and care for characterisation , unless its cute like hand kissing my fav scene in tv ever i guess i should mention that！...or the hunger because that comic is perfect

im sorry you had to read all that its late here and i get really into stuff after 10pm i find 😅

My weird taste.

It’s a common discussion amongst people who know me well. My name is Laura, and I like weird things.  I’m sitting here eating a bowl of brown rice, roasted carrots and drinking a caesar. Tonight I call this supper. The first “weird” thing I became obsessed with in my early 20′s was toasted peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. I was introduced by my cousin one night while intoxicated and I've never looked back.  I know exactly what you’re thinking: ew.  So - to you I say.. if you like both peanut butter and pickles. Just try it. Don't be like my old roommate who would eat them and try to hide the evidence because she didn't want to admit to liking the atrocity I presented her. Honestly I'll just be happy for you. Welcome to the dark side my friend.

It should be no surprise that as I got older and my tastes developed - I would venture into different avenues of weird things. This made some strange forays into my dating life as well. I was never one to genuinely stick to a “type” - you probably have noticed that by now. I’m pretty open. If I think a person is genuinely good, we share some common values/morals and there's some kind of attraction - I'm game for the experience. When I was in my mid twenties, I dated a lot. More than now (obviously) but I was really getting out there.  I lived with my best friend at the time who very unexpectedly had a cancer diagnosis. Even though we knew it would be tough, we still wanted to live together. After all, it was our 12 year old ~!DrEaM!~ plus we had a kitten and a puppy. She recovered, is happy and healthy today and has a beautiful life with a great husband and little girl and a new baby on the way. So - I'm not leading this into dark territory ok.  After experiencing that though, I think I went through a bit of a “Ok I gotta LIVE” phase - some of which still sticks today and I am forever grateful to have taken from that.. but it also manifested in my carelessness when it came to selecting people to spend time with. I met JT (obvi not a real name) online. We chatted for a bit (I'm trying to recall this from memory so plz hang in there) and I then decided I was going to visit. I would use almost any excuse to leave town at that point and I loved me some reckless solo adventuring. He was tall, handsome and was in the army. When I visited him the first time, I did the “scan” as we all do. The scan of the home. Is there anything weird here? What creatures lie beneath.. that kinda thing.  Aside from a incense burner circa 1995 - I gave the place a B+. Thats pretty good for solo dude living. He made me dinner that night and afterwards as we were just chatting and hanging out on the couch he told me he wanted to introduce me to his pet.  I’m an animal lover. I was SO EXCITED. What was he hiding? An adorable kitten? A dog? Holy shit.. what if it was a bunny. The options were endless. I was so optimistic.  Minutes later, he rounded the corner into the living room holding a ball python named Calypso.  He asked me why I looked so surprised. I explained that I didn't really peg him as a snake guy. He sat next to me on the couch letting this thing slither through his fingers and up his arms. I was legitimately never so frightened, disturbed, confused or surprised all at once. Then it came.  “Well don’t you want to hold her?” No I fucking don’t want to hold her. (Is what I thought) “Ummm... ok.. maybe? I don't really know what to do?” (Is what I said) So there I was. Perched on the side of the couch. A man I just met wielding a ball python towards me. Is this it? Is this where I die? SECONDS before she hit my outstretched and shaking hand, JT pulled her back quickly and said.  “Oh. No. Nevermind. she doesn’t like your scent.”

I don’t know if I was so happy to not need to touch the thing that I forgot to be insulted by a snake saying I basically smelled bad - but I was never so happy to have a snake think I was a stinky bitch. She retired to her tank after that and I spent the whole night sleeping with one eye open, thinking I may become snake bait after all.  Things didn’t work out with JT. I couldn’t bring myself to ever tell him I hated his snake - but I’m pretty sure he got the hint.  To this day I’m weary of single men with pets. I ask to see immediate photos of reference before agreeing to coffee. While I still don’t know my type - snake guy isn’t it. But whatever. I tried.  Also - a huge thanks to those who have reached out over instagram about purchasing my hand drawn holiday cards! I’ve had so much fun filling orders. I still have some availability so let me know if I can help make your holidays a bit more vulgar.  See you next week!

im crying not only bc of your amazing writing, but bc i was scrolling thru my dashboard and i saw you answering all these asks about new rules and i’m so dump thinking that you set up new rules or sthg, i didn’t understand it so i read all those asks and fucking spoiled myself kmp, but on another note yOU FUCKING ROCK OMG NEW RULES IS SO AMAZING I LOVE IT 💘💘💘

Anonymous said:I'M LOVING NEW RULES SO MUCH just wanted to show my support. i love your writing in general don't get me wrong but new rules is messing with my heart and it's amazing

Anonymous said:Hi! I just read both parts for "New Rules" and I loved them! If this goes in the same direction as Dua Lipa sings (I guess it will) it sounds like it'll be very interesting. I love how everyone in the story is human, not just good or bad, you know? 90% of fics would've made Mijoo the stereotypical barbie bitch, but you didn't and I was pleasantly surprised! I also feel very identified with the OC. I really want her to open up and discover who JK really is, whoever that is. Keep up the good work!

jabaelashit said:Hey! i already wrote you a message on one of your posts but i just wanted to say that i am feeling so skabakks right now, I can't stop thinking about new rules and i'm torn between crying or crying but w angsty. I hope oc learns her worth and can understand she's just as amazing as mijoo, even better if we're talking about morals but oh well people fuck up:( I'm glad she forgave her but I hope she distances from her cause that gurl ain't having the same respect for the friendship as oc/1

jabaelashit said:and i also hope she gets to tell jimin her feelings not to like make him break stuff w mijoo, but to let him know she hadnt seen the note and to release some pressure and feelings cause oc bottles up so much and i just want to go and hug her and don't leave her until she understands shes fucking badass and cool and that the way she thinks is 👏👏👏 lu you've made me feel such a diverse amount of emotions i don't know what to do w myself anymore, your writing is amazing! love love loove you❣/2

Anonymous said:Hey!!:) idk if this is the right place to send compliments cause im really new to tumblr but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR FICS. Tbh I'd buy it if you published a physical compilation;)

Anonymous said:Wow for the longest time I was searching your old username; idek why cause I’ve known you changed your username and have been keeping up to date with you LMAO this is what being sick and delirious does to me. ANYWAYS! Hope you’re not too down with the crazy anons your story is great and I’m thankful for the dynamic characterizations you create! It makes it so much more interesting cause you create many characters with depth!!

Anonymous said:Can I please just have your writing talent? The OC is just so real, and that moment when she's deciding what to do with Mijoo, and what she actually says at the end.... I can't actually put my thoughts into words. I'm legit stunned by the sheer amount of emotions I felt reading the second chapter. I genuinely adore the banter between JK and OC, I personally prefer people to be more direct with what they want, so I already appreciate them, but also Jimin's convo with OC... (1/2)

Anonymous said:Jimin's convo with OC... Idk about these other anons going off on Mijoo, I was more thinking 'why didn't Jimin chase the note?' and then he would have had his answer then and there. But that might have just been me... And also, thinking back to it now, when JK said 'I need you' and OC repeated it back to him like super softly, like she was surprised oh god, okay, my heart is breaking even more for OC now, idk if I'm reading too much into it. I love you Lu, I hope you're well, and happy! (2/2)

Anonymous said:Anyways do ya thang hunny ✨ Keep wrecking me with your writings 💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨💞✨😩

Anonymous said:Read part 1 of New Rules and was like yeah thisll be fun, I'll have a great time. Then I read part 2 and ended up shedding some real tears at the end?!?! LU WHAT THE...... But really though its so nice to read a fic where the OC values friendship. The idea that its always girls against girls makes me sad.. we should be sticking together!!

Anonymous said:so... surprise surprise, dis gon be about new rules 😂 but I really wanted to thank you for adding so much of the oc's inner dialogue, and making her such a character in the first place. a lot of fics do not portray ocs with more defeatist attitudes, but yours does and I was glad, because I could finally relate to a fic :) also, coming back to the inner dialogue thing, it was so in depth that i could really feel what the oc was feeling, what she was going through. it was amazing ❤️ thank you!

Anonymous said:Man this is one hell of a good fic i’m highly anticipating the next chapter!!! Even though it seems like traditional frat fuckboy x ‘i hate frat bois but ye i’d fuck u’ type of girl it still is in a way a little different i just can’t quite catch how but nonetheless it’s amazing!!! Keep up the good work babe

oceanjoon said:ok so ur newest fic new rules literally is so real n relatable !! like honestly i understand seeking physical comfort in people u dont care about wen u r feeling down/insecure to validate urself n it just rlly hit home

kyarybunny said:Lu. At this point I have so many compliments to give you I can't really form it all properly. But I really am enjoying New Rules and this plot you're breathing life into! It's a different facet of your writing and I love how you can interpret every character's actions in a few different ways. Thank you for continuing to write and I hope you enjoy writing as much as we do reading/analyzing.

Anonymous said:Istg when I read the new chapter of New Rules I clenched my fist like that Arthur meme when it came up to the part about mijoo and the note. Girl got me heated lol. As usual, your works do not disappoint! I love your wittiness and how it shines in your writing. The remarks and dialogue in all of your series really proves your talent. You’re truly a gem amongst fanfic writers 💕☺️📢

Anonymous said:i was happily reblogging a few things on my dash and ch1 of new rules just came and i started reading WHERE THE FUCK DID I GET MY ASS INTO???!!!???!?! IT'S FUCKING AMAZING i don't know why i didn't start reading before. don't you ever dare stop writting, you're such a good writter and i enjoy your works very very much

Anonymous said:OC DESERVES HAPINESS JUST AS MUCH AS MIJOO. OC SHOULDVE PUT HERSELF AND HER HAPPINESS BEFORE HER FRIEND'S BECAUSE SHE IS TOO GOOD FOR ALL OF THEM DJFJFJ i hope one day jimin finds out about her feelings :(

Anonymous said:new rules just keeps getting better and better 😻😻

Anonymous said:Wow.. Okay.. I do believe chapter 2 of New Rules has officially ruined me. My heart was actually beating so fast through out the whole chapter, and it's still racing now too. I've thought this multiple times while reading your fics, but you're writing really is incredible. Your characters and the way you describe their emotions is so unbelievably relatable that the reader can't help but be sucked in. I always find myself becoming invested in your characters! Thank you for all the adventures!

Anonymous said:I felt so bad for the OC this chapter ;.; If I were in her position, I'd probably do the same since causing a scene is yes, immature and not worth the energy. But, if i could be a character in New Rules I'd probably be the other best friend who'll be like "guurl, confront her ass it isnt an excuse just because she's your friend." All in all I see the OC as the kind of person who'll go out of their way to care for someone to the point of disregarding their own feelings, which is unhealthy :( (1)

Anonymous said:(2) but thats what makes her such a relatable character. I really, really like that in your OCs. This is probably the second OC i emotionally relate to, first is Copper Girl. But yeah I'm just distracting myself from assignments lol this series is amazing and just you are amazing Lu!!!! ily!!!!! PS. Jungkook is still agsjshskll he's cocky but with OC he's quite vulnerable. I wonder why? Is it just a front or does he have other intentions?

Anonymous said:alternative ending to new rules: mijoo and mc are over their respective boys, does not bother to get into any messy scenarios like that ever again, love each other and support each other and is forever the friendship that everyone envies anD I HATE THIS SITUATION SO MUCH GODDAMMIT LU!!! UR REALLY TRYING TO TEAR MY HEART APART!!

marchxseptember said:OH MY GOD CHAPTER TWO IS UP. I HAD A FEELING SO I HAD TO CHCK UR ACC AND I WAS RIGHT. BRB GONNA READ

marchxseptember said:AND THE PLOT THICKENS. I JIST FINISHED READING CH. 2 AND I AM FUCKED UP. I HAD A THEORY BEFORE BUT NOW I HAVE LIKE 2 MORE IM CONFUSED. I LOVED IT SOOO MUCH. AND I HATE MIJOO NOW. I CANT WAITT TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. THIS WAS SO GOOD LU.

omg the amount of response ive gotten for new rules is unbelievable. I dont think ppl were even this into equilibrium. the last time u guys acted like this was during the golden boy trilogy and it really feels so good to have this again.

thank you all for your thoughtful messages and for giving this ridiculous little fic a chance. I love you all
