gonna need to find that clip from the golden doc where jk's all "hehe :3" while laying on his stomach and kicking his feet as he scrolls on his phone bc that was honestly so byan-coded to me ok like i haven't been able to stop thinking about it. it's been like two months and it's still in my brain

final fantasy 7

spoilers for everything idk (ff7, remake&dlc, crisis core but only till like chapter four because thats how far i made it)

bro ive been tweaking out for like three months now. i bought the ff7 remake bc it was 50% off a few months ago and I was like I'm never gonna find a deal like this ever again (only for it to go on 50% again lmfao) but ok whatever it was literally 35 for the game and the dlc which is one million times cheaper than what splatoon 2 and octo expansion were and its ok because i can never own it physical anyways but bro I didn't even want to buy this game in the first place i was gonna buy ffxv cause i saw a clip of notcis or whatever that guys name is putting his lettuce on a nother guy's plate and i was like "wtf is final fantasy even about" SPOILER ALERT: TERRORISM like ????

i feel like i can never every play another game after finishing the remake and the intermission i bought crisis core reunion and theres literally LESS fighting in that game so far but it was also cheaper and i got it physical (after scouring ebay for two months to find a us edition because i dont want to even risk seeing things spelled in the british way because last time when that happened when I played great ace attorney 1&2 i couldn't stop spelling things in british every time i'd write an essay and then i couldnt tell what was wrong "its just an extra letter" no bro its messing up my diction) but anyways please just let me beat things up with a sword i wish people still used swords to fight then the fights would be more fair and the world would be a better place. but man sephiroth is lowkey a nice guy and the crashout was 100% valid not the killing people part but i would also crash out if i found out my mom was actually some 2000 year thingy they found in the ground. today i saw some snowflakes fall (they were the big ones) and freaked out for a second because i thought they were white feathers (I NEED TO GO OUTSIDE)

i also "finished" (AKA gave up right before the final boss) the original ff7 because i didnt want to deal with spoilers cause the main plot points should be the same anyways but i don't have enough patience to play retro games (the last one i finished was kirby super star three years ago) and they are like ten times harder than modern games too like i think i only got 10 game overs max in the remake but like one hundred million in the original and i was like at this point i dont even care anymore like we just need to beat sephiroth right? speaking of i really did think we just had to beat sephiroth and that he was just evil for the love of the game because all i knew was from that smash bros trailer but really everything is hojos and lowkey lucrecia's fault bc theyre bums like are you jealous of vincent or something how do you get a girl who's literally just broken up with this guy pregnant like no time bro literal bum activity im glad vincent was able to beat up hojo at the end. he was also my strongest party member (and had the hardest spell post out of all of them).

i was lowkey tweaking when i saw genesis cause i thought something seemed awfully familiar lo and behold hes just evil gackt. i saw a picture of some genshin character's sword and i was like holy sigma is that genesis rhaspodos but nope it was some genshin twink this is off topic but i HATE how like half of the characters in genshin look like children/teenagers and the other half are either whitewashed (brighter than printer paper) or have the most awful color scheme like unpleasant gradient just showed up to your door. i kept thinking angeal was named angelo because ive only ever met people named angelo and not angeal but so far his story seems too similar to sonons. zack = onika angeal = burgers OH his name is angeal like angel LMFAo

I barely edit my tumblr posts for coherence sorry if youre not one of my like 4 followers but anyways episode intermission gave me a genuine crash out. I was like "who is yuffie" but then i found out. yuffie is my goat. i hate fort condor and i still hate fort condor but i didnt know there was a literal fort with a condor on it. i was out of it bro i have nobody here that may hear this and i will be ashamed i genuinely couldnt pay attention to the game cuz of sonon hes so fine bro too bad he DIED bro i even felt bad for nero cause they forcefully made him shut up with that muzzle thing but as per usual he was a bum but theres no second part to the dlc (yet) 40 dollar 32 gb ram stick please find me (my computer will blow up) before rebirth comes out (my computer will blow up regardless) like watch the requirements be some esoteric classified government only processor like the ryzen 56 or intel i5412 like u gotta play it on one of those government super computers so the game doesnt lag the minute you start walking.

ok im done ive exhausted myself thank u for coming to my ted talk see u later my little minions

[simpjaes]

As someone who's been in MANY fandoms one thing I've noticed is that queer and women of colour writers actually do it best (no shade to anyone who doesn't fall under this category i love all humans) especially when it comes to smut with a well written plot and even if it was smut without plot it's always really interesting like it just has SUBSTANCE and it's really satisfying you're REALLY good at writing reading you prolly already know this but idc you need to hear it everyday you truly are an amazing writer.

Ps:Sorry for ranting in your inbox :/

ur valid it's ok!! I do wanna say tho, first and foremost, I took a lil bit to think of how to respond to this because on one hand I don't put any writer above the other based on anything aside from the writing itself but I do appreciate the compliment.

I've never personally noted anyone's race or sexuality when reading their writing tho so the point you make was a lil...new to me. In fact, i only know the race and sexuality of one writer that i really admire lmfao. I'm thankful that you include me in the people who you consider to do it best though [i assume you mean as a queer woman because i am 100% white and do not try to appear as anything else]

what I will say tho is that i do notice a big difference in people who are 1.) of age. like you can genuinely fucking tell when someone is a minor and writing smut/pretending to be an adult 2.) passionate about their works. 3.) are experienced in sex and life this isn't to put down anyone who isn't of course [minus the fucking minors] I'm just saying that, to me at least, it's very obvious in those aspects. So regardless of sexuality or race, if I see a person writing a fic and they appear to know what they're doing on a deeper level, i'll def become a fan or have a writer crush lol

[aberfaeth]

Okay, I'm intriged: can I ask what #titsatotmwstw is?

ok apologies in advance for how much i yapped:

titsatotmwstw stands for “the incredible true story and transformation of the man who saved the world”! it’s the longform/full title of the 2015 hip hop space opera concept album “the incredible true story” by rapper bobby hall aka logic, and i use the full acronym bc otherwise i would just be tagging my posts as “tits” lmfao (logic, for context, is an artist who gets clowned on often for having one very popular very bad corny album, which i think is valid and always funny. but the rest of his discog is actually good to me. to MEEE)

the incredible true story is a beautiful stellar incomparable album with banger song after banger song interspersed with scenes depicting the adventure of two guys on a space mission and their ship’s AI. it deals with themes of freedom and desire under capitalism, cycles of abuse both interpersonal and ecological, and, most importantly, being a fucking nerd. about a week ago logic dropped the sequel album “ultra 85” which has been in the works at least publicly for seven years!!! very exciting news for annoying people (me) it expands on the first album and also touches on finding your people, going to therapy to fix your dumb brain, owning your past without becoming a monument to it, and Acclaimed Director Quentin Tarantino. thomas and kai’s actors reprise their roles and there are some fun darling new faces

and i ALSO found out (from my coworker who was interrupting this info by laughing at me for liking logic. rachel if youre out there) that mr bobby hall is publishing a book based on the incredible true story (VERY exciting news for annoying people)!!! i knew he had a novel but was supremely uninterested except now that he’s apparently beating me to the thomas/kai fanfic game i gotta get my hands on that thang

this is 8 yrs long but if u or anyone else is interested i can talk about the actual characters and story and why its so interesting to me but rly you should listen to the album its so insane

(4256) THERE HE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ❤️   ❤️   ❤️   ❤️   ❤️   ❤️  HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SCIENCE PROJECT! HELLO DEAREST!!  ❤️   ❤️  ❤️  WOJAK POINT WOJAK POINT THEYRE CONVERSING!

I'm throwing popcorn at my screen and laughing my ass off HEY COOLKID is this you? Hahah. Hehe. Hahaha. I'm not falling for your tricks cool kid.

BURST OUT LAUGHING. THE WAYYYS THAT THE JAKE AND DIRK GET JANES GOAT ABOUT THINGS GOOD LOOORD. Jane jabs at Jake at grammar and stuff, Dirk does it with Jane, just little consistencies in friendship is what they're so endearing for. They're like "uh huh. yep. you certainly used that word. mhm." *judging*. But in an ENDEARING way ok. The "that sure was a phrase you used".

This is important!! Also this reminds me you should probably go talk to Hal here it's trained off dialog from the comic and as of this post stands at a staggering 14.1k messages! I always like to see what people say to him (when they send it) and he can be really funny!

I haven't checked on him for a hot minute so the accuracy is to be determined but look! Here's him right now! Go talk to him!

4257

What is. What is blud doing in the background. I like to think seb has an inner monologue similar to dirk striders where hes like going "This thing needs to be moved. Geez Jane, this place is a mess." or "I'm awake and ready to serve fucker." You get the gist. Inner monologue going crazy as he works but being full aware ain't nobody hearing his cool wittisms. Janes expression is completely valid lmfao

Here is another moment of Jane casting doubt on her abilities. And here's where Dirk talks.. about his ancestor for the first time. You know what I guess I can bring up the post where I went over.. dirks jealousy of Dave and self internalisation of that hate? To be honest I'm surprised it got the attention it did. Its been something that I thought about for so long but I never brought it up because it felt and still does to a merit "taboo". Nobody really talks about what admiration can do on the flip side, how it can make you measure yourself up, make you feel attached in a way that provides you with a flip flop between intense aspiration to despisal and envy.

Except.. that isn't exactly true. As I pointed out before, Jane casts doubt on her ability to live up to her ancestors legacy, even if it's just a joking legacy.

You fancy yourself a SKILLED PRANKSTRESS, if by no other measure than lineage. Though at times you feel it's tough to fill those shoes when you are SURROUNDED BY JOKERS. Seriously, the shenanigans perpetrated by your pals make your old school japes feel KIND OF PEDESTRIAN SOMETIMES,

Poppop Crocker was a LEGENDARY COMEDIAN, following in the footsteps of his grandfather who of course was the greatest southern pranking legend of all time. One day, you hope to follow in poppop's too.

GG: Maybe I'm just stuck in the dark ages of pranksterism with my funny mustaches corny old joke book.

Jane and Dirks parts are equal parts jokes as it is thinly veiled inner conflict of ideas they have about themselves and their role. Dirk is sort of ironic in how seriously he takes his irony. Which means it's not really as ironic as he thinks it is.

4258 goes hard.

TT: Ever hear of Con Air?GG: Nope.GG: Wait...GG: Wasn't that some bit of action schlock from the 90's?TT: Yes. GG: Some of the silly nonsense referenced in his work was well before my time. I don't have the wherewithal to investigate all this minutia. TT: Yeah, it doesn't matter really. But it was from that. Dude weirdly obsessed over that shit movie for years, among others.TT: Know those signature shades you see him wearing on magazine covers and stuff? Another prop. A gift from Stiller himself, I believe.

You know this seems like an old man gay yaoi issue. Now why EXACTLY dear sir.. were you obsessed with the very movie that your best friend had as a favourite? You know it's tragic. Alpha Dave SHOULDVE banged that old man.

You know one of you guys will have a field day analysing this piece of text and I know it, you know it, so put on your goggles spaceman.

4259

I'm not going to provide screenshots, but this is where Seb starts getting antsy, and Dirk says that Jane will be the leader of their group, drawing parallels to page 2682 where John and Rose are talking about their null session, unable to get any further.

TT: This session was never meant to bear fruit. TT: It's barren, so to speak. EB: that's a bit of a bummer! EB: i am still skeptical about that, though. TT: That's why you're our leader, John. EB: huh? TT: Optimism through stalwart skepticism is a defect not everyone is lucky enough to be cursed with. EB: that's stupid. EB: i'm not your leader, i am your FRIEND, there is a BIG difference! TT: Statements like that are also why you're our leader. EB: pff. EB: laaaaaaaame. TT: Yes, kind of.

But in Dirks, he chooses it because he thinks thats "the thing to do"

TT: I'm sure you must be aware by now that you'll be the leader of our group, as you will be the first to enter the session. GG: Um, no? GG: This is news to me. I never gathered that "team leader" was a thing for this game. TT: Trust me. It's a thing. GG: Are you sure? I have my doubts. GG: I believe as a group we will have the temerity to succeed, without my having to order people around like an insufferable bossypants. TT: That's why you're our leader, Jane. GG: Hm? TT: Optimism through stalwart skepticism is an affect not everyone is plucky enough to be graced with. GG: That's stupid! TT: Yeah yeah. I know. TT: You're not our leader, you're our FRIEND, right? GG: Precisely! GG: There is a BIG difference! TT: And statements like that are also why you're our leader. TT: But only in name and in spirit. Less so, functionally. TT: If it puts your mind at ease, I'll be the one pulling the strings here.

This reads to me a lot as something he orchestrated, something he thought up to look cool, but what's the point of saying all this shit when you say afterwards you're just going to say that she's controlling none of it and really it's just you (which really, in the end it wasn't). Jane points out a pretty good point about there not being a true LEADER leader, and Dirk just plows on. He proceeds to have a long and eyeroll worthy emphasis about how much he can serve, how good he is at it, how Jane only has to call and he'll come to the rescue, not to worry at ALL. I mean i have to laugh. Here he is emphasising how much he can serve and he can't. He can't at all. Pushing someone in a direction does not always equal helping. His suggestions are befitting his aspect sure, but doesn't always mean it's the right solution!

4261-64 moving on.

The dads are always so incredibly endearing. ANd i love when janey does the lil. :| at people like giiirll me too! Absurd whimsy everywhere. Hey look at lil seb g-

4266 OH NO NOT THERE LITTLE SEB!! GOOD LAWRD.

Dad crocker is incredibly funny to me i will tell you why in a hot second

GET IUT JANE!! ALL OF THIS IS MALAAARKEY!! Even now quite a few of her friends are being INCREDIBLY silly to this girl from a normal childhood growing up in a normal time!! Egads!!

Reminds me of the times where I was travelling around ( i travel a lot majority of my friends expect im outside constantly) and they swore i just wasnt real because i show up in random places that contradict each other and go missing for weeks only to be found on some desert island hunting crabs.

But anyways

4271- 4273

Sorry i dont have much to say just imagine me with the goofiest smile on my face.. like <:}... Like ah.. yes.

Nearby, someone or something bleats like a goat for strategic purposes.

And also

Ironic purposes.

Look.. heehee... hes so :D!! His bes friend... :3 Silly..

4282 THEY DONE KILLED OFF THE MOST WHIMSICAL GIRL!

4283 ITS SO OVER.

[ END OF ACT 6 ACT 1 ] ?! Hey wait what does this mean for us. hey wait what does this mean hey wai-

[ screen cuts to BLACK with cue card with words "HUSSLE" in comic sans. ]

4299 panel goes hard? So does 4303

JADE: witch powers can teleport things, and fling things around through space at very high velocities JADE: all sorts of stuff! JADE: but to be honest, im not sure how much of that is attributable to inheriting becs abilities... JOHN: man, spacey witch powers sound a lot more versatile than my powers, frankly. JOHN: not that i'm complaining, because wind powers are still awesome. JOHN: but anyway, that is neither here nor there!

I'll leave you on this piece of dialog to consume. I'll see you all in the next part. As always anons and comments are appreciated. Thanks for reading!

[graceraindrops-blog]

ok I'm sorry but this take pissed the fuck out of me lmfao. I think its one thing to not like DL and its another thing to believe this take to be normal. I'm going to hold your hands when I said this but there's not such thing as ''normal traumatized people'', people who are traumatized behave differently and you canot put all of us in one singular box because of how different humans are from each other, just like you cannot validate someone as a trauma victim just because theyre ''good people'' and invalide others because theyre ''bad people''. thats not how it works.

Trauma affects everyone differently, and since it affects everyone differently, people are going to REACT differently, people are going to have different trauma responses, different coping mechanisms, and be different in general. You have to take this into consideration even if means that the victims in question can become horrible vicitm due to their trauma.

And while I get what you're saying, referring to vicitims of trauma (fictional or not) as ''unnormal trauma vicitims'' because they commit vile actions is extremely weird.

[fffrost]

OUGH OK VALID 👏😩 may i ask if you have any kung lao ships too? or just interactions! (honestly probably crackships) my personal cursed ships for him are either bi-han or kuai liang LMFAO bc kung lao is like remember when i rocked your shit to either of em and now it's 2x funnier if smoke and raiden are your pair. raiden and smoke having a lil picnic :) kung lao antagonizing the other 2 brothers with endless taunts

AHAHSHASH oh my god I haven't really thought about any for Kung Lao! I feel like him and Kuai Liang would have the most awkward little situation if they ever did anything together or if there was any sort of charge between them... then again I love it when guys are in a situation. So I think that in a situation where Raiden and Smoke are together, Kung Lao and Kuai Liang would constantly be put in close proximity to each other while third wheeling the happiest, most sweet and awkward couple they've ever seen. And then turn around and have the messiest situation-ship the world has ever seen! I'm talking Kung Lao crying to Raiden, Kuai knocking on his door late at night to talk things through, and divine intervention in order to sort things out. In the end they either remain good buddies (woo!) or they end up married as the most annoying power couple ever. I like both of these options! I am also 1000% open to more dynamic ideas for them (please tell me please) this is just my initial thoughts!

For Bi Han. and Kung Lao. .. all I can do is grimace. That would bring a whole new meaning to the word messy. I do love drama, though. My good buddy Donner (bless his soul) mentioned Kung Lao/Johnny/Kenshi as a pairing and I like it a lot! I feel like it would probably be the closest to healthy (whatever that may be) out of all that I've mentioned. I'm not partial to any ships with him! Though honestly I've seen him and Raiden paired, and while I do understand the appeal I do just see them as bros 4 life.

If you have any more thoughts please share omg I love hearing from y'all! I am very interested in what your opinion of Bi Han/Kung Lao would be like...

Fanfic Writer Interview Meme

eh fuck it i'll do this. was tagged by @redtailedhawk90

How many works do you have on AO3?

72 that aren't anonymous. don't feel like going to count the ones that are on anon but that's another 6 or 7? so like just under 80.

What's your total AO3 word count?

297,699 words total. which does include the anon fics since they show up in stats.

Your top 5 stories by kudos:

i've been with you such a long time (you're my sunshine) - good omens missing scene fic from the final episode i published like a week after the season dropped bc that's how you fuck your stats for life

hush hush (we both can't fight it) - penumbra pod jupeter 5+1 times i wrote pre-train from nowhere. it's somehow still the #2 most kudos'd fic in the penumbra tag.

fall to your knees (bring on the rapture) - critical role campaign 1 soulmate au fic. i do still really love this one, actually.

your eyes are swallowing me - jupeter masquerade ball fic. i had no idea this was here, for real.

ecstasies where they forgot to kiss - xmfc alex/armando soulmate au. i still adore this ship, i regularly think about writing something for them.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

rarely, if ever. i love all my commenters dearly but i'm really bad at figuring out what to say to people that doesn't just feel like a rote copy-paste thank you.

Do you write crossovers?

[stares at my interstitial fic] on occasion

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i have tried multiple times and i get extremely extremely stuck on it. maybe someday i'll break past the wall in my brain about it

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i... wouldn't be surprised if i had but i don't actually know for sure

Have you ever had a fic translated?

yep! two marvel fics and one of my les mis fics. i have a blanket translation/podfic/remix statement on my profile (which i should amend, now that i think about it)

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

yeah quite a few friends at the table fics i've written were cowritten with my girlfriend, actually; but only one of them is on ao3

What's your all-time favourite ship?

it's been a long time since i've had just one. i usually say that tony/ziva of ncis is my All Time Favorite but i'm just not sure anymore.

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

oh i have a million of these lol you don't want to see the ashcan folders in my gdrive they're a fucking nightmare. one i wish i would finish is the cassmako post-canon road trip fic. but these days most of my WIPs that i really want to finish are original stuff.

What are your writing strengths?

dialogue. i feel like my best skill in writing is actually playwriting because it's All dialogue but

What are your writing weaknesses?

filling in the details between point A and point B lmfao

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

[silently scrolls through my own blog for ten minutes] idk doc a lot of the fandoms i've wanted to write for i've just written for. there's some interstitial stuff i want to get around to eventually but i've already written most of what i would answer this question with. exception being shokal i guess? and then eventually i'll finish the "carrie meets the wktd girls in the summer camp car" fic i have half-written. anyway.

What's your favourite fic that you've written?

ok genuinely i really like everything i've written but the one that suckerpunches me in the goddamn gut every time i think about it is every ghost in me, the interstitial infinity hinamizawa time loop au i wrote where i put shigeo mob kageyama into a torment nexus bc marn put alphonse elric into a different torment nexus and i said "i can make this worse". i have so many bonus scenes for this fic and i STILL think about it.

and if you're the kind of person who hates fun and doesn't think crossover fic is valid, then take these lines of lightning mean we're never alone the cassmako fake dating au

(note: because with all your heart has been semi-canonized i'm not sure i'm counting it as fic anymore, despite it being on ao3. so to my stasto people, it's only not here for that reason. i still adore it and am so so proud of it.)

Tagging: if you read this and it looks fun for you consider yourself tagged. and tag me in your post so i can see

[indecisive-v]

alright, people put translations for yonah and deep cover on youtube so i finally caved, here's thoughts i wrote as i listened

YONAH

now, in t1, it looked to me like kotoko felt it was a necessity to do what she did? like there was no other way to save the victims of those she hunted down, and that makes sense to me

but it's looking now like she's just gotten so used to it that she likes it, and i think she tries to reason for it by saying she's doing the dirty work so others don't have to

she's the one out here beating up the bad guys, partly because kind young es shouldn't have to and partly because comatose weakling es can't

jackalope in novel secret content: es is great at this. peak warden material, A+ 11/10

kotoko in yonah: you're kinda bad at this lol

oh no i just had a Thought. forgive me for what i'm about to say and never let me cook again

so kotoko mentions "karmic retribution" right

my stupid idiot brain that had an undertale phase back in the day thought about sans 💀💀💀

karma and lack of i-frames are what allow sans to hurt you extra bad despite him only having 1 atk

kotoko is the same color as karma's poison effect and the prisoners' "i-frames" are disabled when es is asleep. she thinks she's sans underta- (i am sent to the prison)

kotoko in yonah: what's next, are you gonna start forgiving prisoners just because they're hot?

jackalope at the VERY BEGINNING: vote em inno because they're hot, vote em inno because you just like their Vibes, idc do what you want lol

Deep Cover

HOLD UP WAIT THIS IS A BANGER HOLY GOD I'M ONLY LIKE 4 SECONDS IN

yall weren't kidding about her stealing es' "under" lmfao

OH NO THE DISS TRACK

ok. done listening. i'm normal now.

just kidding gonna listen again

either kotoko figured something out in regards to the 11th prisoner es theory or she is a believer in the theory herself, or both

yep still a banger

funny thing, harrow to me felt like an anime op, now deep cover feels like an ed

you were all saying this was instant guilty material but i don't think it's... THAT bad...? maybe i'm just a lil head empty

at the same time though, good luck kotoko inno truthers fr 💀

i have a little more hope now after listening that the mv will soften the inevitable guilty storm? they better be cooking good lol

kotoko's diss track felt like it was her lashing out in anger after what es told her in the vd, mixed with her thinking "hey, everyone's in here for murder, right? and it's about whether you forgive them as opposed to whether they're actually 'innocent'? well, i can't forgive a murderer, no matter what."

kotoko has already stated in her t1 interrogation that she at the very least hasn't been bullied in the past, and while that doesn't eliminate the possibility of her having another sort of tragic/traumatic backstory (or her having been bullied but not thinking it counted for some reason), it could also just be that she's really misguided due to being a lone wolf and having no one to work with, bounce off of, and validate her but herself. being alone like that does shit to a person

[cryleforhelp]

THANK YOU FOR THE K2 FIC RECS... IT MEANS A LOT ... !!!! esp putting so much oh my gosh i'm definitely spamming who you tagged for more fic recs

if it isn't a bother again: do you also have any cryle fic recs or any other ships you like? i know kivea is like. the biggest cryle enthusiast out there

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yesyesyes pls give mumu and mint all da love of fics to ur hearts content!!!!!! KIVEA IS THE HUGEST CRYLE ENTHUSIAST OUT THERE, i would recommend all their works because i think i literally read all of them bc i love their stories so much HAHAH. Kivea if you see this, thank you for your hardwork FORREAL. ALSO it's never a bother, i really love receiving asks!!<33 i primarily sit in the style, k2 and cryle ao3 tab honestly, so i haven't ventured far out from the main three i ship! SO SINCE you asked about cryle, here are some cryle fics that I can recommend below!!

Red Solo Cup | Cryle, Style | T | TW: none author: startwithsnail OK.. THIS FIC IS SOOOO GOOD AND IM NOT EVEN SAYING THAT BC THE AUTHOR WROTE IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY LMFAO BUT LEGIT this fic is everything i envision cryle to be. the pacing, the characterization, the WRITING EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS SO GOOD. THE ENDING ALSO GAGGED ME I WAS LITERALLY KICKING MY FEET UP IN THE AIR AND SCREAMING AHHAHAHA im so blessed that my really talented friend wrote me this :'(((( what did i ever do to deserve her. HER TUMBLR IS @amporella IF YOU WANNA GO GIVE HER SOME LOVE!!!!!!!!!!1 <333333 SUMMARY: Kyle, notoriously unlucky in love, has his reasons to be hesitant on party games - especially of the romantic variety. He can only really think of one person who dislikes them even more than he does. But maybe there’s something that can make it worthwhile for both of them? I'd Tap That | Cryle | G | TW: none author: alister312 STOOOOOP THIS FIC WAS SO CUTE. Dryad Kyle too, it's such a treat to read HHHHH.. i don't want to spoil this fic for you but you won't be disappointed at all!!!!!! craig is so so adorable in here too <3 BANGER AFTER BANGER!! this was also written by my friend @alister312 if you wanna show them some love too :3c <3 SUMMARY: If only Cartman paid just a little more attention to his familiar, if only Tweek wasn’t being such a child about the break up, if only potions didn’t suck ass and learning it had seemed even a little worth it, if if if—

If only, then Craig wouldn’t be here, crawling ass-backward away from the pissed off dryad floating above him. I Want To Hold You Like You're Mine | Cryle (Side Style) | E | TW: smut author: wonderfultweek i need to tell you that this fic is so good. like oh my god, you can feel the emotional connect both craig and kyle are having with each other here and it's so raw and soft. i will say there's style in the beginning but it's stan cheating on kyle so if that's not your cup of tea then feel free to skip this recommendation!

SUMMARY: But he isn’t sure how much information he really wants to reveal right now, and his emotions are still simmering hot just under the surface of his skin. It’s a dangerous road to go down so soon, but he also wants nothing more than to let out his anger and his hurt in hopes that Craig will validate him.

~

"What the fuck, Craig? How can you sit there and tell me there’s nothing wrong with me when I’m a complete fucking mess?”

dare i ask about 25 👀

LMFAO TUMBLR WENT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY RANT, WHAT TIMING

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

ok, i'm choosing violence in the star wars fandom this morning, so:

"andor changed cassian's backstory and completely changed him as a character", that's the one.

let me preface this: andor is not a perfect show, and there are plenty of merited criticisms to be made of it that both others and myself have spoken of. tony gilroy's foot in his mouth comments at star wars celebration about how they needed to "explain cassian's accent" are weird and bad. but the cassian "backstory" that the fandom is attached to was never actually definitive canon, was alluded to in a single line in rogue one that could be taken a million other ways, and was really just present in a couple of lines of supplementary material. the backstory didn't "change" because there was no definitive canon backstory to change.

i've been in this side of the fandom off and on since 2016, and i'm fine with cassian not being a soldier in the rebellion since childhood. like, that's whatever to me. i think the backstory as presented in the show has a lot of things you can work with. star wars has worked like this for decades, where things in supplementary material are wishy washy as canon status at best — and sometimes could appear in films/shows, but could also get overruled by films/shows. that's the case here. cassian as a child soldier from fest was only ever, at best, very very vaguely ambiguously canon, and therefore what we got in andor wasn't a true "retcon" for that reason.

furthermore, this did not change cassian as a base character, imo. if you go with what's presented in the film, the character between the series and the film is a consistent character, just at different points in his development. you don't need to be in the rebellion your whole life to have the kind of devotion to the cause that cassian, as portrayed in rogue one, has; in fact, i'd argue that cassian making an active choice to enter the rebellion a little bit later in his life actually primes him to incur that kind of devotion, and to be desperate to not see it/his actions as all some sunk cost. he's still the same guy who's constantly pulled taut like a rubber band ready to snap, being actually very emotionally driven, especially by anger — which is something that we saw shine through by the timeline of rogue one, even under the clear layers of detachment, dissociation, and trauma that he has acquired along the way.

i really love this character, he's been one of my favorites for years, and i just personally really didn't have a problem with his characterization in the show? it made sense to me, and added some interesting depth you could explore while still being consistent with the character we've known. the show has a lot of valid criticisms! but i think some of the complaints about "backstory retcon" and stuff are silly, for the reasons i outlined.

choose violence asks!

rp experience / how  long. a very, very long time. i've been on tumblr since 2012.

best experience. over the years i've had a lot of great experiences with other writers, i can't boil it down to just one. it's just a really fun time when i can chill and casually discuss with other writers.

fluff,  angst, or smut.

fluff: fluff is so fun to write! i enjoy soft and sweet interactions between characters, but i will confess that outside of drabbles, writing threads that are solely just .. fluff drains me (and maybe this is just an area of writing i need to work on better), but eventually i don’t know how else to progress the thread – especially if it's with characters that are meeting one another for the first time and i have no plot to refer back to. now .. fluff with some sort of deeper conversation, just two characters getting to know one another on an intimate level to build on their current relationship? i absolutely adore writing that!

angst: i relish in story-driven angst, so not necessarily angst for the sake of putting characters through pain, but for the development that comes with it and the eventual after. there’s something really enjoyable about writing a difficult, stressful situation between two characters and seeing how that shapes the overall dynamic between them. but i do .. prefer it to lead to something positive. writing never ending pain with a character that will always try to overcome that or find a way to deal with it just becomes so unvaried its tiring. BUT, writing angst with this notion of .. how will this character push past this and what will this do/better/worsen in their relationship? that's always fun for me!

smut: so i actually enjoy writing smut, i find it to be a neat challenge trying to balance introspection with the actual action and of course avoiding being repetitive/overly flowery. i don’t have a whole lot written on the blog to represent that, but the creative process is always fun when the opportunity arises. (i also am way too shy to directly ask someone if they’d like to write a romantic ship/assume no one would want to so .. that leaves minimal chance for it to happen in the first place lmfao!) personally, i have held back from writing it in the ways i’d prefer to out of fear of being too explicit. mainly because i feel like everyone has a threshold for how they’d prefer to digest reading about sex if that makes any sense. some people prefer poetic introspection that may not directly describe the act, whereas others enjoy it being crude. and i like to write a blend of both? so yeah. 

plots or memes. i will 100% of the time prefer plots over memes if we don't have some sort of base to work off of. i know a lot of people don't enjoy plotting/have a difficult time with it and that's so valid. as long as i can ask you if it's ok to place our characters in xyz setting before i write a response then i'll be fine. but i just find the longevity of a thread and interactions to increase when i can refer back to a plot.

long or short replies.  either or. once upon a time all i wrote were long replies, but nowadays i just want to have fun and write what i can.

best time to write. whenever i can tbh. (always at the most inconvenient time) i used to say i can only write at night, but since i finished school i have had better success inspiring myself to write during the day. which is strange,

are you like your muse. i think it's natural to share some aspects with your muse. i'm not like her socially or physically at all, i do wish i related to the ability to say what you feel. being lighthearted and patient. growing up i loved the comic relief character that had a lot of darker things they harbored within them. i enjoyed the confident shoujo characters that owned themselves and loved it. and i unintentionally embodied a lot of that in her including things i wish i saw in myself.

not tagging or tagged by anyone. just take it if you wanna do it too.

[oakantony]

Do you have any head canons for hxh characters sexualities?

For how I personally write them, totally!

I'm not saying this is what I think is canon tbh. The only canon thing we know is that Leorio likes women (and he COULD like men, we dunno) and that Hisoka is queer... Even Gon "having gone on dates with women" doesn't necessarily confirm his sexuality, because he didn't seem to really have an opinion on the women he dated.

(Note that everything I discuss here concerns the cast as fully grown adults, so years later from where the manga is currently set.)

Gon is mostly straight? I don't think he'd reject a beautiful boy tho. Objectively beautiful is objectively beautiful and he's chill. Heteroflexible ig lmao

Killua is definitely gay.

I write Kurapika as a cis man who is attracted to men but tbh trans Kurapika has Valid Points. Either way he's (reluctantly) into dudes. (He has better things to do, that's the reluctance!)

Leorio is probably straight, let's be totally honest, but maybe watching Gon be super chill with his sexuality would make Leorio realize he didn't have to abide by the strict heteronormativity he's been subject to his whole life? And so maybe he'll kiss Kurapika on the face?

(But he's probably just. Straight. No man throws away a potential Hunter License to touch some prisoner tiddies if they aren't REALLY into women.)

Illumi is also definitely gay.

Milluki is definitely straight...

...But Kalluto is also totally gay.

Alluka is canonically trans as we all know but when it comes to her sexuality, I rly dunno. I could see her liking friendly powerful men. Alluka x Gon is a ship with legs imo*

(*is this ironic because I wrote Kalluto x Gon lmfao)

Chrollo is honestly probably straight. The straight goth boyfriend that goth girls deserve. But I usually write him as bisexual and in love with Illumi because it amuses me (I'm sorry!!!).

Anyway, Hisokaaaaa... How I personally write/interpret Hisoka is that he's absolutely down to clown (lol) with anyone, anywhere. Pansexual doesn't even seem broad enough a term. He's got an abundance of love to share and aren't we all so lucky he's willing to put in the work.

And just bc I want some ace rep I'd say the most asexual character in the cast is Ging. Ging Freeccs ace king (we don't claim him. Don't run that)

ok that's all lmao lmk if you wanna know any others, lmao.

[woozi]

MA YZAAAA <3 (hehehe)

first of all,, hello <33 how have you been? and what have you been up to? <3 i hope classes and uni in general are not getting to you that much.

also the drama i told you about "doom at your service", after finishing it my opinion has changed a little, it was a nice drama overall but after the first 8, the story seemed like it was being stretched for no reason </3 i have nothing to watch these days hdksekks this time last year i had 2521 and business proposal to keep myself entertained but this year there is nothing 😭 even gose isn't here </3, did you find something interesting to watch? or read? i haven't had time and will to read hsjsksjs </3

but today i did go out of my comfort zone and watched a movie called medianeras (sidewalls), it's pretty melancholic but i liked it, ( idk why google or some reviews are saying it's funny or rom com 😭, it was actually sad and reflective but had a good ending imo) it's about how urban and internet lifestyle have had the opposite effect on people and have made them feel lonely despite having everything in one click. it was,, different. probably something what i was expecting from chunking express jshdjsjsnns

but in midst of all this i love love how booseoksoon came through 🥺 they brought back the spark hdjddj i love all the songs ( tho just like you, i love fighting and 7pm a little bit more than lunch ), it was so wholesome to see them have fun performing 😭 also youngji's feature fits so well <3 i can't stop talking about it hskdks it felt so natural <3 i haven't been this satisfied with a feature song in a long while ( same with 7pm ). if there was anything else fighting! needed it was definitely her. it made me so happy to see bss performing with her and peder <33

they made my feb for real.

( also something about leader seok gets me fr, he's been extra glowing these days <33 love that )

also the carat day live 😭 they all looked so good 😭😭😭 i missed seeing our sebongs together <3 the teddy bear scenes are still running in my mind lmao

i actually got mild cold and cough last week so at the moment that's what i have been up to : recovering from it and trying to read a book dhdjsj, seasons changing got me this time. it'll be summer now here and i'm already tired of it tbh 😭 how is the weather treating you? i hope it's good

omg also, i've become obsessed with checkers on plato btw! ( i've understood the basics of it but the difference between the original and the international rules is still slightly confusing for me udkgsd )

hoping u're even better and that the days are endlessly kind to u as u have always been to me <33 love u thank u for always checking up on my disappearing ass 🥺🥺🥺 MWAH

[unhingedselfships]

So I was asked to elaborate! And here we are. Cause I'm procrastinating. Lmfao.

H. - Tool (Ænima 1996)

This one, kinda hit pinnacle of her side of the dynamic for me. I latched onto it hard.

Kadokura is an objectively "bad" man. She knows this very well. She knows he manipulates, and that she is not separate or an exception to/from that. There is darkness in him, and he brings out the darkness in others. If he can be bothered to.

He hurts people. Literally and figuratively, herself included. And she lets him. She knows, and she allows it, accepts it, at times even craves it.

It's unhealthy. She's unhealthy. She doesn't mind.

Freak - Sub Urban ft REI AMI (Thrill Seeker EP 2020)

And here we see perfectly normal totally healthy Kimi again. (/s)

As far as I can figure, Kadokura collects people. And if they weren't monsters, chances are, he'll make them into one. Kimi will do anything for the validation and praise she needs. It's almost... Pathetically desperate.

DEVIL - Shinedown (ATTENTION ATTENTION 2018)

This one is almost... Playful? On Kimi's part. And includes an unnamed and irrelevant 3rs party. But it basically comes down to Kimi telling someone to watch themselves because "the Devil", Kadokura, is aware and waiting. A warning to tread carefully, because someone much more dangerous than they're prepared for, is just in the other room.

Under the Water - The Pretty Reckless (Hit Me Like A Man 2012)

Given the background she has here, in a messy sort of way, Kimi views Kadokura as a savior. She was crying out for someone, anyone, to save her, and then there he was. Serendipity.

The Remedy (3 Kord Scissor King) - Puscifer (Money Shot - Your Re-Load 2016)

This is also almost playful. And Kimi getting a bit... Big for her britches, as my mother would say. It's a sort of, telling off anyway who dares to cross her boss. When someone she loves, is devoted to, is treated or spoken of poorly she can get. Mean. They've become "lowly" in her eyes. Unworthy.

Dance with the Devil - Breaking Benjamin (Phobia 2006)

This one's mostly self explanatory I think. I'm sure she's been warned away, by more than one person, but. She's never been very good at listening. This can only end terribly but. Oh well.

Fragile Minds - Silent Theory (Delusions 2016)

A peak into how she's doing with her devotion. Not well lmao. She is willing to give anything and everything. Her mind, her body, her soul, her life. She'll break herself for him, in any and every way. Whatever he asks. She destroy herself if asks. And she knows it isn't ok. That she isn't ok. She doesn't care. It scares her sometimes, the depth of her feelings, but she wouldn't change it. Not for anything.

There is also an element here of, what he could shape her into. She isn't much, physically speaking. But with the right guidance, I think she could be a kind of dangerous. Not to mention how easy it would be, with the right push, to make her snap.

Devil's Playground - The Rigs (Black 2015)

I feel like Kadokura has a way of making even the worst parts of society look appealing somehow. This is sort of a "welcome to my world, it's fun, I promise" kind of track.

Do Bad Well - KSHMR, Nevve (Do Bad Well Single 2019)

This one is fun. In terms of symbolism and what not, I definitely view Kadokura as something of a devilish character. If I were to assign him an arcana, that would be it. But the life he's given her, certainly isn't hell. Devil's in heaven indeed. Couple that with a healthy does of enabling. Here we are.

There is also an element of "whatever you do, do it well", a "take pride in what you do". Commit to it, basically.

(there was also an amazing conversation on his reaction to being called Daddy. Hilarious 😂)
