I’m With the Band Part 2

Words: 2k

No warnings apart from my naff writing lol and Arabella’s attitude (the story does get better but I can’t promise that Arabella’s attitude does sorry 😂)

I’m With the Band Masterlist Main Masterlist

"So... you're not actually in this band then?"

Larry and I are sitting on the balcony in my room sipping on bottles of beer whilst he's filling me in on his life in the past ten years.

"No... like I say I just string Van's guitars and... you know... help them with their kit and stuff."

"So you're just a roadie?" I question him.

Larry looks slightly annoyed. "No..."

I'm enjoying winding him up. "Oh... so you're like the band's bitch then?"

I'm giggling at the look on his face but he doesn't stay annoyed for long when he realises that I'm teasing. "So what the hell do you do for a living then? I suppose mummy and daddy just let you live off them now they're loaded eh?"

I don't try to deny it. I'm unashamedly a bit of a princess and I'm proud of it.

"I tried a few jobs but it didn't really fit around my lifestyle..." I say, aware that I sound like a completely spoilt bitch.

Larry doesn't look particularly impressed but I don't care. I'm feeling a little bored of this already. Although it's actually been quite nice to catch up with him I can't imagine the next two months in this little seaside town which boasts a few pubs and one nightclub which looked like a complete dive online. I'm restless.

"So... when are we going out then?" I say, glancing at my watch, imagining what my friends at home are doing now.

"Well... we've got to wait for Bondy first..."

"Who's Bondy?" I say, draining my beer, reaching out for another which Larry passes to me.

"Johnny Bond. He's the new guitarist. He lives in Newcastle so he's coming to stay for a few days until the tour starts up."

"He's staying here?" I ask, ears pricking up at the prospect of a young male in the house. "You got a picture of him?" I nod at his phone.

"You won't need a picture, he's turning up literally any moment," Larry says, and as if on cue his phone buzzes and he takes a call.

"Bondy mate! Yeah that's right, number 52. The last house on the road. Great... I'll come down and let you in."

Larry's off and I stay sitting in my spot on the balcony, legs stretched out in front of me on another chair, enjoying the warm late afternoon sun on my skin. It really is a sun trap here. I'll have to take advantage of this. I hitch up my dress slightly, hoping to catch some rays.

"And this is my little cousin, Arabella. She's staying with us for the summer." I hear Larry say.

I glance up at the tall figure who's looming over me, squinting against the glare of the sun, my hand shielding my eyes.

Hmm... things suddenly got a little more interesting round here...

Bondy smiles down at me, he's got a warm, lazy kind of smile and a handsome face covered with stubble. His scruffy brown curls spill out from underneath the black cap perched on his head.

"Hey Bondy," I say smiling back up at him. "Or do you prefer Johnny?"

He holds out a hand to me and I reciprocate, expecting him to shake mine, but instead he stoops down and plants a little kiss on the back of mine. "You can call me whatever you like darlin."

Larry clears his throat and I'm aware that me and Johnny had definitely let our eyes linger on each other's for a lot longer than was probably appropriate for a first meeting. I smile to myself as I finally turn away, taking another sip of my beer.

Johnny takes a seat opposite me and him and Larry immediately launch into talking about band stuff. I'm only half listening, catching snippets of conversation, hearing names. Van's name comes up a lot but I also hear the names Bob and Benji. Now I've seen Johnny I'm all of a sudden eager to see the other band members. Apart from Van of course. That little prick was the bane of my life throughout my childhood summers.

I pop my sunglasses back on, leaning back, stretching out my bare legs. I notice Johnny glancing over, completely unaware that I'm closely watching him through my dark lenses. He really is pretty sexy. And he's staying here... I wonder which bedroom he's going to be staying in.

After a while Larry announces that he's going inside to fetch more beers and Johnny shifts in his seat, turning to face me.

"So Arabella... how come you're staying at Larry's then for the summer?"

I pull my sunglasses down to the tip of my nose, peering at Johnny over the top as I reply. "Well my parents are in New York on business so they sent me here. They didn't want me staying at home alone. Apparently I can't be trusted..."

"Oh... so you're not to be trusted then? I'll have to remember that!" He laughs softly.

I take off my sunglasses again so I can look him in the eye better. "My dad says trouble always seems to find me."

"Is that so?" Johnny says, but then Larry reappears with the beers, distracting him.

The boys resume their conversation and I slip off to shower, returning 20 minutes later in nothing but a small towel wrapped around me, barely covering my modesty.

"Christ Bells! Put some clothes on would ya?" Larry cries as I smirk at him, leaning down to pick up the bottle of beer off the table I was drinking before.

"Well... you are in my room..."

Johnny's eyes go slightly wide and he looks away, but not before I've clocked his gaze running the full length of my body. That was the desired effect of course.

"Come on Bondy, I'll show you where you're staying." Larry motions for Johnny to follow him, then he turns to me. "We're going pub in half an hour. Are you gonna be ready?"

"I'll be ready!" I smile sweetly at Larry, then he turns his back to leave the room.

Johnny glances back just before I shut the door and I catch his eye. There's definitely a little spark there. I smile to myself as I start to get ready for the night out.

The pub's small and dark and smells of stale beer. Some people might call it quaint. I wrinkle my nose up as we all stepped inside and I hear a quiet chuckle coming from beside me.

"Not your usual kind of establishment I'm guessing love?"

I turn to face Johnny who has a softly amused kind of smile on his lips but Larry cuts in before I get a chance to answer. "Don't think they serve Cristal in here, Bella, sorry!"

I narrow my eyes at him. "Whatever you think you know about me, you've got me all wrong..."

Larry laughs, nudging Johnny. "Eh, reckon she's slumming it tonight!"

Johnny laughs too and steps up to the bar, ordering three pints of lager. I take a seat, pleased when Johnny sits down right next to me. Larry mumbles something about going out for a fag leaving me and Johnny alone.

"Pint okay for you?" He grins, taking a huge swallow of his own drink.

"Uh-huh," I nod with a smile. “Perfect.”

To be honest lager wouldn't be my first choice of drink... or my second, third or fourth for that matter, but Johnny's bought it for me so I don't want to offend him.

I reach for my glass, taking a sip, trying to be ladylike but not quite pulling it off. Johnny laughs, a low throaty sound, and he's looking at me funny.

"What?" I demand, feeling self-conscious all of a sudden.

"You just got it all..." he indicates his own face with his finger "... kinda everywhere..."

So much for trying to be seductive. I reach up to touch my mouth, dismayed that I now seem to have half of the head of my pint adorning my upper lip. I quickly wipe it away but Johnny's still grinning.

"Come 'ere lass," he reaches over, running a finger just above my top lip when I lean forward.

I'm not sure what possesses me, but before he has a chance to pull away I grab his hand, running my tongue lightly over his finger and lightly sucking the tip, my gaze flicking up to meet his.

"Thanks Johnny," I purr.

His eyes widen again and he snatches his hand quickly away, reaching for his own pint, shifting in his seat slightly. I cross and uncross my legs, my thigh rubbing against Johnny's. He clears his throat before looking back across at me.

"So... Arabella... I'm intrigued about what you said earlier... about your parents not trusting you to stay on your own. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?"

I give him a playful smile. "Old enough to know better... but young enough not to give a fuck! I'm 19."

"What did you do?" Johnny says, intrigued, but Larry's back and he wants to know what we're talking about. When Johnny tells him, Larry's eyes light up with the prospect of spilling some juicy gossip.

"Oh our Bells is a regular little party animal!" He says. "Trashed the house didn't you love?"

"They were overreacting," I complain. "It wasn't that bad!"

"That's not what I heard," Larry smirks, then he looks at Johnny, pretending he's talking conspiratorially but loud enough for us all to hear. "You need to keep an eye on this one, I'm telling ya!"

Larry gets distracted by someone he's seen over the other side of the pub so he doesn't see Johnny turn and look right at me.

"Oh, I intend to..." he says quietly, a subtle smirk staining his lips.

"Benji, Bob! Over here!"

Larry's on his feet now, waving, and I look over as two guys approach the table.

One is tall and thin with a wild mop of tangled curls... and a very nice smile I think to myself. He's wearing a black leather jacket and skinny black jeans and looks every inch the cool rockstar despite his seemingly quiet demeanour. The other has a cute face framed with dark-rimmed glasses. He's also got a head of curls but he's got his scraped back into a ponytail. He gives me an adorable bashful smile when I catch his eye.

Introductions are made all around and I smile sweetly at the guys, sizing them up, my disappointment at spending the summer with my cousin dissipating by the second. It's just a pity that they have band stuff to discuss and I find myself stifling a yawn as talk turns to practice venues and gigs they have lined up.

"Where's Van got to anyway?" Benji pipes up.

Even the mention of his name riles me. Hopefully he won't turn up. Larry starts grumbling and digs his phone out of his pocket but as if on cue Johnny's calling out. "There he is! Over here Van!"

Despite the sour memories I'm interested to see how my childhood nemesis has turned out after all these years, remembering the scrawny, scruffy haired lad who used to tease me mercilessly. I stretch up in my seat, straining to see, when a tall, lean figure strides over.

"Alright lads!"

Well, well... now this must be the glow-up of the century. The years have certainly been kind. Van runs a hand through his hair as he looks around the group and when his eyes alight on me he does a double-take.

"Fuck me! Arabella Turner is that you?"

His eyes are practically popping out of his head as they take me in, and he's certainly taking me in, brazenly so. Every inch.

"Long time no see, Van," I say back, trying to act aloof even though my interest is piqued in such a way that I'm finding it hard not to mirror Van's own reaction to seeing me.

I smile to myself at his slack-jawed expression and it doesn't go unnoticed by my cousin. "Fucking hell mate, why don't you take a photo? It'll last longer!"

Sniggers erupt from around the table and Van finally comes to. He steps forward, pint in hand, shunting Larry aside so that he can take the seat next to me.

"Shift up Larry, I want to sit next to Arabella. We've got some catching up to do."

Yep... this is certainly going to be an interesting summer...

[ozimagines]

Hello, I just wanted to say that I hope your recovery goes smoothly and if you wanted, I thought a dating Busmalis would include would be interesting. I hope you feel better soon!

LOL I just can’t get what @wawamouse calls him out of my head. “Burdened grandpa”😂 But I mean, his love with Norma was cute af. Plus he can be goofy and disarming in the world of Oz. 😄

(And thank you! Reaching the halfway point in my meds so wish me luck!)

Dating Agamemnon Busmalis would include��

Officer Doofy, reporting for duty

Alright so he’s not the most serious guy. So what? So he could be like Vern and Hernandez with the permanent scowls on their faces? Nah, not his style.

So what if his style was a hundred years outdated? Just meant he had… culture? Right?

Bob was his best friend. He’d never hoped to have someone like that since his brother became a total mama’s boy.

Now all he needed what a significant other. He’d thought it was Norma, but she stood him up at the altar. He’d tried not to take it personally.😭

When he meets you, he’s sure immediately. Like immediately immediately.

“Bob, look!”

“… what am I looking at?”

“Don’t you see him/her/them! That’s the future Mr./Mrs./Mx. Busmalis you’re looking at!”

*In Bob’s head* here we go again…

He talks to you immediately. Not being weighed down by things like social norms or personal space.

“Hi! I just wanted to say you’re about the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. What’s your name?”

“…Y/N.”

“That’s the best name I’ve ever heard! Music! Y/N! I knew it had to be as wonderful as you are.”

“I… thanks.”☺️

His love is a little obsessive. Will write you letters -yes, actual letters- telling you all the places he’d take you and and things you do.

You’re into it, don’t get me wrong. He’s just a little much for new people.

But yes honest. Charming in a clumsy kind of way.

He asks you out, and does a dance in front of you when you say yes. 😂

He takes you out to the finest restaurant in his opinion; The Olive Garden.🥲

“Best breadsticks in town, by a mile!”

He’s wearing his goofy Checkered suit with the polkadot tie. And his lucky fishing cap.

He picks you up, with flowers of course. Daisies. Since it had been days-ies since he’s seen you! Get it?

You’re in a classy black number with minimal accessories. You get a look at his outfit and say “one second”. He’s worried he blew it just like that!

You come out wearing a pink feather boa and a Yankee’s baseball cap with a pin of a capybara saying “don’t worry, be cappy.”

“You’re… beautiful.”😍 he informs you, wide eyed.

Dating Busmalis is sort of like doing improv. It’s a lot of “yes, and”.

He mixes everything together. He gets the Alfredo at Olive Garden and asks for some pesto to mix in, with mushrooms and asparagus. Kinda slaps.

Whenever you get a fountain beverage, he has to mix the flavors. Dr. Pepper and Orange Fanta… or Sprite and Rootbeer! Sometimes he mixes in the lemonade and asks you to try it. 😄

You’re on the date, and he asks about you in school. You mention you’ve never really been the most popular but you’ve had friends. You remember playing out a recess all the craziest games in the world. Your favorite was one your friends invented, called Tunnel.

“Like… digging?”🤞🥹🤞

“Yeah, just little hand tunnels but we would see how elaborate we could make them before they collapsed.” You recall with a smile.

He still hasn’t picked his jaw up off the floor. 😛

He asks you EVERYTHING about it, down to exactly your region of the world and what kind of dirt is there.

“I’m a dirt savant.” -has no clue how stupid that sounds😂

Everything about him makes you smile. Guy’s got a great attitude, even if half the reason for that attitude is not having basic danger reflexes.

Just a fun note but I think out of everyone in Oz, if you’re gender non conforming, that’s not a turn off or even a question to this guy. Like, we always hope our favorites would be allies, but with Busmalis, the way he treats Fiona on the show… it’s canon, he’s an ally.

He will be asking you a million questions just like Stanislavsky lol

“You’re nonbinary?”

“Yes.”

“Like neither or both genders?”

“Yes.”

“You were born nonbinary?”

“Yes.”

After the first date, he takes you to your front porch, like a gentleman. You lean in for a kiss and *oblivious* he leans up and kisses you on the forehead, missing your lips by a mile.

“Well?” He asks excitedly.

You’re a little confused.

“Are you my boyfriend/girlfriend/partner now?”🙃

“I… uh… sure, yeah.”😅

“Wow!”🤩

Dates with him are a wildcard. He’ll show up at your place and be like;

“There’s a kids interactive exhibit open at the Art and science museum! You can TOUCH a stingray!”😃

“There’s a jazz bar around here that has this guy who plays the saxophone… and fire comes out!!”🫨

“The Zoo just got a new baby panda!! It can barely open its eyes!”🐼

You just can’t predict what the next adventure will be. Either way it’s fun to watch him get excited!

Kept his old Vinyls that he plays for you two to dance to. Lots of 30’s jazz. Vaudeville style.

Kind of oblivious when people are making fun of him. You see him one time, talking to Vern and Robson, them “asking” about the relationship.

“Yeah, I bet you two have fun.” Schillinger laughs to his friends, and Busmalis just nods.

“Oh, yeah, we have the best time!” 😀And he keeps talking about you as the guys laugh at him to his face.

You’re immediately angry, but you’re smarter than the average skinhead, so you adjust yourself in the mirror to get yourself looking sharp, and walk over to them.

“Look who’s joining the party.” Schillinger regards you with an unkind smile. Robson smirks.

“Your geriatric Casanova here was telling us how much ‘fun’ you two get up to… when he can get it up.” The guys all ooh and ahh and all the other things gorillas do to impress the others. You just smile.

“You have no idea.” You say, seductively. You start to play with Agamemnon’s hair, fingers tickling his neck. He’s not following any of this so you use it to your advantage.

You just don’t want your sweet Aggie getting hurt. 🥺

“Aggie? Remember about two weeks ago… our date to The Caribbean?” The Nazis don’t have to know that’s a discount seafood buffet restaurant. They’re quiet. Busmalis’ eyes get wide and he smiles at the memory.

“Didn’t know you could handle so much!” -he’s referencing the oysters you and he devoured together but both Robson and Vern’s interests are peaked. You bite your cheek to stifle a giggle. 😋

“Aggie, remember when…” you lean in and whisper into his ear. “Remember when I couldn’t get the oysters opened, so you helped me? What was that you said?”

“Oh!” He remembers that too, reaching an unknowing arm around you. “I said sometimes you just gotta go at it hard. Some like hard, some like soft, but I really get at it, y’know?”

Vern and Robson’s jaws are on the floor. You smirk.

“I didn’t know how hard I could go. Watching you get your fingers in there and get right to the goods… it was so… hot and steamy.” You kiss the side of his face and sigh. 😘

Vern makes a face and gestures for his guys to leave. Robson follows him, casting one more confused look back at you two, still giggling and talking in code.

They don’t bother him after that.😂

You do that a lot. Protect Busmalis. He’s a good guy, and you know that. You know the relationship from the outside doesn’t make as much sense as when the two of you are alone and he’s making you laugh every second of every date.

He calls you muffin, sweetie pie, little bear (because you’re just right), puffin pal (he likes puffins, that’s it), and any variant of your name (Hannah Banana, Joe Bo, Fancy Nancy, things like that)

He’s Aggie to you. Sometimes you call him your groundhog and ask how many more weeks of winter. This is usually when he has his glasses on and you see him pop his head up when you enter. ❤️

World’s most anxious gift giver. It’s like every time he has to get you a gift for your birthday and anniversary and things like that, his mind forgets that he knows anything about you and he panic buys something insane. 😭🤣

“I didn’t quite know what to get you… so I figured you like strawberries so I got you this cup shaped like a strawberry and I got you strawberry milk. So you can put it in and you’ll know what you’re drinking… because the cup… it shaped like a… well, you get it.” 🍓

And the gift he gets and convinces himself you wouldn’t like is always so much more awesome than whatever Temu nonsense he’s found.

“Oh that? It’s just a rock. I mean it’s a geode I opened up that I got on our first date, and I told myself when we shared our first real kiss, I’d open it and give it to you. I opened it and one of the pieces fell out so I made you this necklace with that piece with an inscription on the locket that says ‘your future husband’. But I thought that was stupid… so here’s the cup.”🥲

“Aggie… that’s… I’m… I like the cup.”🙃

“Really?!”🤩

“Yes… one might even say I… love the cup.”🥰

“Oh.” He thinks for a second. “Well, then I’m glad I got it for you!”

He’s a virgin when you meet him. He wants to please you, but he’s never had sex with, as Torquemada put it, “neither man nor woman, neither fish nor fowl.”

You take it easy on him, helping him get out of his three piece suit and being very gentle and kissy with him.

I’m not going to say he’s a surprise deviant or anything. But you’re explaining the G-spot to him, kind of letting him tour you and understand what each part does, and he goes, “oh okay… like… here?” And then just sort of fucking hits it immediately.

Your whole body shakes and your eyes go wide. He’s certain he’s done something wrong and you’re like… nah man… that was it. You found it.

Does a little dance after finding the g-spot, like the lovable dork that he is. 😅

You move in together after that. He makes space for you very easily. Kind of a guy who doesn’t mind giving up half a closet just to watch you hang your clothes next to his.

He has a favorite coffee cup. You got it for him. It says; Soil ≠ Dirt. Yours is shaped like the poop emoji. Don’t take it personally, he thought and still thinks that it’s chocolate ice cream😂

You make his coffee exactly the way he likes it; four sugars, and lots of hazelnut creamer. His coffee looks like milk afterwards lol.

You introduce him to Pumpkin Spice Lattes. He’s never been happier!

Loves Pinterest. Finds recipes and crafts for you two on there often.

You watch the Lord of the Rings series together while eating Hobbit inspired foods. You even eat them in order; breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, luncheon, supper, dinner, so on!

He loves Lord of the Rings. Wants to be a dwarf mining in a mountain somewhere. You tell him if he ever grows a beard, you’ll braid it like the dwarves. 😘

Decides he’s gonna propose to you. Tells Bob about it and asks for help.

“He/she/they need something as special as he/she/they are! Something amazing!”

“I think Y/N will appreciate the effort, but nothing crazy right?”

“Bob, this is me you’re taking about!”😃

Bob: 😟

He takes you to a movie in the grass. It’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It’s at the part where Audrey Hepburn is singing moon river. He also consigned Murphy, McManus, Sister Pete, and Mukada to help with all this.

Murphy plugs in the fairy lights, McManus switches the movie to a prerecorded message from him, Sister Pete is standing with a confetti gun, and Mukada is holding a Dalmatian puppy with the ring on its collar. What can go wrong?

Well, after the lights short circuit, turning on the sprinklers, the puppy is chewing on Mukada’s pant leg, and the confetti gun shot straight through the screen, now playing a warped message that looks satanic, and everyone is booing Busmalis, who is soaking wet holding a dog smelling ring… you just start to laugh.

You can’t stop. It’s all so Aggie that you can’t help but smile and laugh yourself to tears. As everyone is booing him, you stand up, regard the Dalmatian now relieving itself on his leg, and you hug him.

“Yes, Aggie. I’ll marry you on one condition.”🥰

“Anything.”

“Never change.”❤️❤️❤️

Your wedding is goofy. Chicken nuggets and ice cream. There’s a fish on every table that are meant to be given as gifts, but no one loves them more than you and Aggie so you get a hundred gallon tank for your fifty little goldfish friends.

You’re holding hands in front of the tank, trying to name each of the identical fish, laughing as you forget all of their names immediately.

“I love you, Y/N.”

“I love you too, Aggie.”

Bonus: Guy’s a Temu junkie. It’s like a dollar store that sells things for insane children. None of your cups are just cup shaped, all of your pillows are squishmallows (his favorite is the axolotl. Because he just recently learned those are real.), and he’s got a million pins on every thing with jokes that have gone over his head. You couldn’t be happier.😋

[clericofshadows]

For the headcanons, how’s about Joker? And/or! If you’ve ever played cyberpunk, maybe a V? Or even a Ryder from ME:A if you’ve played that one! (I have no idea what games people have played lol, trying for variety 😂)

I'll do all three!

Joker

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual (and should've been romancable!)

Gender Headcanon: Cis male

A ship I have with said character: Joker/Shepard

A BROTP I have with said character: Joker and EDI, which I answered in the EDI ask but it still stands, their friendship is great. Also Joker and Kaidan, starting with that banter in the beginning of the game. Would've loved to see more ribbing between them.

A NOTP I have with said character: While I don't ship Joker/EDI, it's not a really a NOTP, just a personal preference of mine.

A random headcanon: Joker collects hats and has a large collection he'll switch out when he's not on duty. Ranging from beanies to novelty ball caps, he has something for every occasion. EDI once got him a hat that says passenger princess, that he wears proudly because it's a great representation of her humor.

General Opinion over said character: While my Shepards may not always like him (looking at you, Regis), he's always been a character I've enjoyed talking to. My only wish is I could've agreed with him about Thessia.

----

V (like canon, my V is named Vincent)

Sexuality Headcanon: Gay

Gender Headcanon: Cis male with GNC tendencies

A ship I have with said character: V/Kerry (for when I do canon romance), V/Viktor (for when I start downloading mods to pose them together with AMM!)

A BROTP I have with said character: V and Misty. Catching up together over memories of Jackie and making new ones. Also V and Judy, my V is a netrunner so I imagine they can talk and nerd out over tech together.

A NOTP I have with said character: Don't really have one.

A random headcanon: Vincent was a corpo and I imagine he knew Viktor in passing through Jackie, so he fell for him pretty fast. They don't get together until after Vincent does the boxing quests and ends up going on a round with Vik....

General Opinion over said character: I typically play as male characters in voiced RPGs and V did not disappoint. I love my netrunner and knives using corpo, and I love making him a snarky asshole when I can. I need to play phantom liberty!

----

Atlas Ryder

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual

Gender Headcanon: Cis male

A ship I have with said character: Ryder/Reyes

A BROTP I have with said character: Ryder and Cora bond over biotics, Ryder and Jaal trick out weapons, and Ryder spends a lot of his time in engineering with Gil, learning the ins and outs of the ship.

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't really have a lot of NOTPs. Maybe for Atlas that would be Gil, they're better off as friends and from a meta perspective I was never a fan on how they handled the kid thing with their romance.

A random headcanon: Atlas went through the first few N trials before he was kicked out of the Alliance due to his father. He resents that he never finished it and wears the N7 proudly.

General Opinion over said character: I've always found Ryder to be a very refreshing protag and I enjoyed playing him as more sarcastic and logical when I could. Would've like to see more classic renegade options, but I loved MEA and would've loved to see Ryder and the gang some more.

Ooooooh I feel seen by this pappiaustin and Amanda etc convo and wanna join the chat!

1. The give everyone a bad name, both those in the “they’re PR” camp and those who just don’t like them together and think their energy is off. Beyond insane behaviors.

2. 💀 at the burner accounts talking to each other like they aren’t the same person. I love how we all know this but they pretend they’re getting one over on us! Like, make it less obvious and don’t TALK IN ALL CAPS randomly and don’t use the same insults (calling someone “thick” for not agreeing etc). It is a little entertaining though and I’m almost sad they’ve toned it down, but you’re right as their other comments about other subjects are usually quite wild. 👀

3. Once Pappi defended Amanda against a commenter by saying she had special needs and she came in hot saying that she just had ADD or maybe it was ADHD. Like you, I wanna be a bit mindful bc I’m not convinced that’s the only thing wrong and I feel for her. But she also loses me bc she bullied others and when they clap back she says they bully her. That’s become kinda hard to watch in all honestly bc poor girl has her full name and face to all of her receipts…

4. Are you on Reddit? I used to be in the Austin butler land one and couldn’t stay bc I actually found that fandom annoying with virtually no understanding how Hollywood works and they project some weird stuff onto Austin as well as A&K BUT the one thing I’ll always love them for is they did call Mollie once the pappiaustin of the A&K shippers hahahahaha. Even they think she’s delusional and needs to get a life! 😂💀😂💀😂

yeah the burner accounts and the talking in all caps is a lot lol. she won't ever admit she uses burner accounts so at this point i think we just gotta watch the train leave the station and wish it bon voyage lol.

honestly i just still don't feel comfortable talking about amanda incase she is on the spectrum or if there's something else involved. i don't follow the drama about that stuff closely, so idk what she has done if she's bullied others. that's a hard one. i want to be respectful if she is mentally impaired. and im gonna leave it at that to be honest.

i barely browse reddit but i have in the past scrolled through the threads. most of the people in there are shippers. and one of them in particular knows way too much about austin's personal things like she found out some things about the house he used to live in, the address, etc. and she never said she's in the industry with connections to info like that, that she is just a fandom person. the stalking that most fans do is just fucking nuts. it makes me so uncomfortable. it's too much information that should not be made public.

Tagged by @mrtobenamedlater, thank you!

1. I vid by using a lot of line-of-sight, meaning I find the beat I want the action to match on the audio line and line it up that way. I, of course, also watch the video/audio preview window but, for fine tuning the beat use, I rely on line-of-sight to get things hitting when I want it to. Hopefully. 🤞😣🤞😂

Here, have a random cap of “Like Ghosts” (John/Kai, Halo) as it was in progress. 😉

2. Once I finish my WIPs, I plan on taking a sabbatical from writing. I’m honestly not sure for how long, I’ll have to see how I feel when I get there. Right now, that means, over on the Halo side of the Field of WIPs, finishing “15 Minutes” and “Recreation” and, for the Flash, “The Price,” “Guardian Angel”, “Split” (temp name for final fic in the Ghost of Eobard Thawne series) and whatever I can come up with for the final Snowells Week for this year. 

3. I now have way more games in my Steam library than I’ll ever play in my life.

This is mostly because of how I like to play. I like to get to know a game, to become familiar and comfortable with it. This is why the Halo MCC was perfect for me: I can replay something like Reach a million times and either do exactly what I usually do and STILL have something unexpected happen or I can try out something totally new and different. Like, I had no idea for the longest time that you can save the Troop ‘hog on ONI: Sword Base, the one that drives across the way and gets blown up by the Wraiths as soon as the door opens when you pick up the target locator. But you can TOTALLY save it (with the Acrophobia skull and a plasma pistol 😉) and drive it all of the way through the rest of the mission with a full load of 3 marines and Kat along with you until you reach the elevator section! It will be on fire the entire time but its health is fine, it’s all just cosmetic. So I always save the Troop ‘hog now, unless I have a reason to need a Warthog with a turret on it. I love my Flamin’ Troop ‘hog! I named it Trooper because I’m original and unique. 😎👍

If I have to not save them, I always dramatically exclaim, “NOOOO, MAH BOYS!!!” when Trooper goes boom. 😭😭😭 We also pause to acknowledge Trooper’s destroyed shell when we return to the base later. 😥😉

Anyway, playing like this means I’ll replay one game over and over and, with long games, well... I can spend a LOT of time on them, rather than “one and done” playthroughs and move on to the next one. I just find this more fun than always learning something new. 🤷‍♀️

4. I wish I could take good photos of my action figures but I have a lack of decent light, a serious need for a tripod or something to steady my camera and I could definitely use some cool or interesting backdrop/dioramas. 😕

5. Speaking of action figures, my Master Chief in his Olaf bathrobe is one I’m always going to keep right next to me. I think of him as my Cozy Chief, lol.

6. This is my most popular vid on Youtube. It’s 14 years old and was a request.

7. I think this is a GIF I’m going to get a lot of use out of

I feel like I buffer a lot these days, lol!

8. I listen to a lot of ASMR and I highly recommend it if you have trouble sleeping, need something to listen to while you work or study that is “background noise-ish” or if you have anxiety. If you’ve tried before and didn’t like it or didn’t find it helpful, I also really recommend trying different types. There’s tapping, scratching, mic noises, nature sounds, no talking, whispering, fast, slow, roleplays... Honestly, it’s kinda endless at this point, lol! Headphones recommended as well to get the best effect, IMO. Oh and an ad blocker because there’s nothing worse than drifting to sleep at long last and then HERE, BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! blares you back awake. 😱🤬😉

9. This is the most recent Barbie I bought. She’s sooooo pretty and has a real, knitted sweater!

(Barbie Extra #20 😉)

My mom and I started collecting Barbies in the last year of her life and it makes me feel closer to her, especially if I find something I know she would’ve liked or if I get a great deal on something. Or whenever I find a Barbie shoe pack, lol. I can still hear her telling me, “We need more shoes! Barbie never has too many shoes!” and those are some trufax right there. 😉

10. I’ve struggled to find interesting answers for this that I haven’t told you over and over before. So in lieu of a (nonexistent 😛😉) cool final fact about me, here’s a hug to carry you on your way today.

Tagging: anybody who’d like to do this *boops your nose politely* 😉🤗💖

[wench-and-jezebel]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Reaction:

Jezebel (@typicalopposite) reacts [with occasional asides by Wench (@scripted-downfall)]

My… “friend.”  Sureeee, Watson

“Not a ponce”  ["You know me" alksdjflkadsjfa That's all you need, Watson, don't you know?]

Watson. You are being too trusting with that ring that’s been lost how many times already?

[:((((((( Watson so mean]  Yes… He was very rude

And I get it a little but at the same time I don’t ☠️ same happens with wives of husbands with dangerous or demanding jobs being bitchy when he has to leave for work. It frustrates me.

Oh no not “violated”  [alskdjf]  They did enough of that on the train  [ALSKDJF]

The laugh!  I’m dead

[Bickering bros.  Married vibes]  Lovers  Jusssssst bros

[Um.  Um.  Sherlock gave up his handkerchief (sign of past love interest) while looking at Watson; Watson gave up his scarf (sign of current wife) while looking at Holmes]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Poor Sherlock

[Now you'll understand why this song playing on my dryer is so fecking creepy]  Slasher flick ptsd  [alsdkfj]  Yes! Cause he is fucking creepy

Ooooo that got Watson up  [*simultaneously*  Also, the thing that motivates Watson most is the screams over the intercom, just to point out]  🙂  [aslkfdj]

["To whom"  Love you for that Moriarty]  Lol!  [Sorry, but the grammar obsessed me is happy by that]

Ooooooooop

[btw, this whole scene between Sherlock and Watson... I think it has Vibes.  It's been a bit, but I'm pretty sure]  Well damn.  [Yup, I was right]  🥺🥺🥺💕  ["Always good to see you Watson" and the hand on his arm and the-]

“You didn’t find me; you collapsed a building on me”

Oh shiiiit that’s scurry lol

Oooop- He ded

Watson, he needs a kiss

The fucking run

Ouch

Oh god they are gonna be fun to write  [I've come to the conclusion I have to do something too]

[*Sherlock mutters*  Watson: "Be nice"  Sherlock (essentially): "Fineeee"]

Wot the fuck is that house

☠️☠️☠️ No pressure

Nooooooo.  NOOOOOOOOO!!!???!  [:)]  I’m dying

Why.  Are they dancing.  Still?  [To be.  Subtle]  Of course

Yes, yes… So very subtle

[They're so.  This.  Bruhhhh]  Oh it’s not their first dance

Well he ded  [Poor Simza]

I’m ded… His disguises  [:)  One of my favorite bits from the original stories]

[Y'all gonna kiss?]  ☠️☠️☠️  They might  [I joke but also I don't]

☠️☠️  [Lestradeeeee]  🙂

[This is important.  This is why I asked if you knew what Reichenbach means.  It's a place, but it's significant for a reason]

Oh shit  [Yup!  He took over the monologue!  And did bad things with it!]  Oh shiiiit  The end

Bruh.  BRUH.  BROS  [He kept his eyes shut.  The last thing he saw... was Watson]  I KNOW.  I KNOW.  I FUCKING KNOW

ACK

🙂  I was about to kill you.  Just so you know.  [I figured]

– – – 

Wench: So, before your endpoint, I need to express just how much this story fucked me up.  I was a kid and we had a picture book.  "The Final Problem" it was called, and it was the story of Holmes and Moriarty and the Reichenbach Falls.  This was the cover.  (below)

Jezebel: Well damn!!

Wench: And when I tell you.  That that fucking book.  Made me cry.  (Makes me cry, if the time is right.)  Every.  Fucking.  Time.

Jezebel: Ack! Imma need them to get serious about the third movie now

Wench: That line?  About "in that dreadful caldron of swirling water and seething foam will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of the law of their generation."  is a paraphrase of one of the lines from that book.  And it is a rare day that I read it and don't struggle

Jezebel: ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Wench: Anyway... endpoint to you!

Jezebel: How feeeeeeeeeeeeeee- no. How fuuuuuuuuuucking dare you lead me into that ending blind you Wench

Wench: Because it deserved to not be spoiled.  My favorite part of the movie right there

Jezebel: Of all the dastardly, deceiving, horrrible things!  So evil!  So evil.  So *opens new Google Doc* evil  😭😭😭😭😭

Wench: We're gonna go back in our convo and find out that I did warn you and we just forgot… Devour, take two

Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Wench: You cannot tell me that scene wasn't golden though.  And the look?  The Look?!?!?!  THE LOOK.

Jezebel: It was.  He 😭😭 he smiled and just cartwheeeled off like yep all is good now I got one last look. 

Wench: Can you see why he's (this specific version of the character) on my fave list?

Jezebel: YES!  😭😭😭😭😭😭 Ahhhh I love RDJ omg

Wench: I meant the self-sacrificial bit but go off ig  ME TOO

Jezebel: Of course he is ma’am 😂😂 that’s just your type

Wench: I've been attacked.  It's true, but still

Jezebel: I'm not ok  😭😭😭😭😭  Even though I suspected he wasn’t dead… Mainly because there is a third movie in the works… I still am not ok.  I was like: Welp. This has been a good friendship. But I’m bout to head out now..

Wench: RUDE

Jezebel: Bruh by the time they finally make the third movie, there will be a third Enola Holmes and I’m pretty sure they said Watson will be introduced

Wench: Ooop-

Jezebel: I’ll have pre bros and post bros and I may just die.  Ngl I already have a doc like very VERY rough drafted for Enola Holmes Sherlock but I wanted to see the RDJ movies first ☠️ to get a better feel of how they act

Wench: I love it :)))  You got any other endpoint comments?

Jezebel: Yes!  Mary flipped her bitchiness in the end and I’m here for it

Wench: This is true!

Jezebel: And I love Mycroft!  But I can’t reallly think of much more endpoint ☠️☠️☠️ movies are hard ☠️ to end point I mean.  ‘Cause I feel like I explained enough through it, yanno?

Wench: Yeah, that’s fair.  Do you see what I mean about Die Forelle being creepy af now tho?

Jezebel: YES  Also, I’m hurt and now have to sleep on that, you Wench

Wench: Think of it this way... it's the ideal domain for fics… Angsty out the freaking wazoo

Jezebel: I KNOWWWW!  but you don’t have to pretend there’s a happy ending… You just expand it

Wench: The thing is.  The Thing.  Is.  Angst.  And Hurt/Comfort.  Have apparently become my ideal genres.  So… I need to come up with something to write  (PROMPTS ARE ACCEPTED at @scripted-downfall --- within the constraints of sooooo much work 😭) 

Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ Yesss

Wench: But that's for a later time.  Ready to call it a night?

Jezebel: Yes!

Wench: Oh, what’s our next react?

Jezebel: The Musketeers, right?

Wench: laksjdf;lksajdf I was giving you the choice to pick something else.  Or say no

Jezebel: 😌😌Wench: Hell yeahhhhhhh!  Alright, then... 'Til tomorrow, for The Musketeers!

[lee-minhoe]

Hi!!! Omg its been a minute, my weekends are so busy I can never get time just sit down and type these out im sorry Mel. But omg yesss that video of Minho showing Jeongin the dance is one of my absolute favorite videos! Especially because it really shows how soft he is for Jeongin, even when he’s not getting something or messing up Minho is endlessly patient but also teases him about it.

I totally get trying to like just one group, especially when they have so many members. Every group I liked when I first got into Kpop I was like ok its JUST going to be this one… these two…. Just these three and now I think my wrapped said I listened to like 200 Kpop groups this year lmao. All your groups are suchhh good choices I stan most of them too! I think p1h is the only one I haven’t really listed to  yet, mostly cause they debuted at the beginning of the huge jump in groups debuting that’s happened over the last few years, and I find them all so overwhelming. But omg I love flying, I really feel like they don’t get talked about enough when it comes to really good bands, hun is my Bias and they’re just a really silly group, I’m sure u’ll love them when u learn their names! Ok I listened to those nine.i songs and consider me sold omg?! Crazy that I’ve literally never heard of them before, like not even in passing, but I thank you for sharing because im hooked now haha. I totally get you on the gg thing, I like a few ggs a lot but I never ned up really following their regular content for some reason, and most I can only name a member or two just because I don’t get the consistency of seeing their faces all the time like with the bgs I stan. 

Ok what are some of your favorite colors or aesthetics? Also are there any looks/eras for Minho that are your favorites? (so I can start working on your present 🤭)

-🍒

omg i read your first sentence "it's been a minute" and idk if you're an nct fan but i immediately thought of mark's rap in misfit hahaha vampire mark my beloved

no worries about the later reply, i hope you are doing well <3 and yes one of my fav things about lino is how you can see he changes the way he acts based on who he's with, like he is savage with seungmin but so soft with lix 🥺 (and jeongin too)

omg 200 groups on your spotify wrapped??? wow HAHAHA i love that <3 i remember when i first got into kpop in 2020 and my wrapped started saying that kpop was my top genre of the year and i was like oh no haha but now im like whatever i fully embrace it, 90% of my listening is kpop (maybe higher if you also count like krnb/k-indie and stuff lol). it's part of my personality now 😂 what was your top artist? and yes n.flying's music is so good!! i love the kbands :)) when i learn their names i will let you know who becomes my bias LOL. why is hun your bias hehe

YEAH THE NINE.I SONGS ARE SO GOOD i love the rock sound (?) in the songs, and the boys are such cuties too. they debuted earlier this year so it makes sense not a lot of people have heard of them yet (i only found them because i was listening to this k-rock playlist on spotify hahaha), but i think they have potential if they keep going in this direction ^^ i'm looking forward to seeing where they go

my top favorite color is blue 💙 i also love pastel colors in general!! oh and favorite minho looks/eras.......gosh where do i start hahaha 😂 hmmmmm well i really like the thunderous and maniac eras for lino!! let me list some of my favs (this might get long lol)

this thunderous outfit

this thunderous outfit 2

lino was so hot here lol

gods menu

literally any of the all in outfits

any of the maniac outfits LOL

in general i love when he wears a button down shirt and or suit lmaoo and when he has a bw cap on 🥴 or when he smiles hes just the cutest 🥺 honestly anything lino related and i will melt, i am very easy to please hahahaha

[emersonfreepress]

how do/would the ROs text? (eg. capslock on, perfect punctuation, emojis overload, etc...)

ok this is the last of the modern what-ifs i'm entertaining for a while 😂

Gabe | Usually texts like he talks, punctuation included and spelling near perfect. No restraint when he's over-thinking and will send paragraphs. lowercase means he's grumpy. No punctuation means he's panicking! Only sends photos when casually seeking a second opinion on an outfit, accessory, or purchase. (And yet he is clearly always posing any time it is about clothes 🙄)

Kile | lowercase. acronyms. responds w singular emojis (👌), one word replies (ugh), and lone punctuation marks (?)... or paragraphs! you just gotta get em on the right topic—writing is less effort than talking. but they don't like texting much, they'd rather meet up or smth

Jack | casual but polite, no matter how long you've known him 😅 memes that make him think of you, no matter how far outside of his own taste they are. deep, meaningful questions out of the blue that begin with "Do you ever..." Takes many photos and makes sure to send the best ones. that thing you forgot the name of earlier. and dog pics ofc!

Jessie | emoji usage increases with excitement! so many photos: food, selfies, baby animals, weird strangers, cool rocks, pretty bugs (if you can stand them lol). occasional late night texts of affection and/or existential dread 😰 early morning pep talks when you've got a big day ahead of you

Rain | caps for DRAMA and URGENCY. replies in languages you don't speak just to fuck with you. fluent in meme and (⌐■_■). texts at all hours of day and night. vaguely threatening declarations of affection if you've been quiet lately. cat pics—especially if you find their cat creepy/ugly. places from around the world you simply must experience together. clothes they want to dress you up in!

R | Replies either rapidly or hours apart. Sends music vids and playlists. morning selfies. concert announcements. psychedelic art. tireless appetite for political discussion, if you're into it. prefers talking!

Vi | Audio messages, from short and sweet to long and rambling! Possibly too many cat pics. Says they'll be unavailable during work hours but is easily baited into full-on chatting. deletes swathes of messages that contain errors or embarrass them. book excerpts and recommendations!

Heidi | Proper grammar, proper punctuation. Hates memes and inspiration posts. Would prefer to video call or meet up instead. Low-key prefers snail mail and e-mail! 😆

Curt | weaponizes notification sounds for attention. often replies with video (100% facetime addict). sends dumb shit he knows you'll hate. articles about new age spirituality, if you're cool with it. has an Accidental Intoxicated Nude/Lewd Pic Mishap with half of his contact list.

?? | random emojis become inside jokes. lots of audio messages, especially when they're on the go. song demos and beats. rates your memes. tour dates. random reminiscing of that time you guys did that thing 😌

[equestriaqueerz2024]

💎💎💎EQG Rarity Headcanons 💎💎💎

-Rarity’s favorite kinds of gems are diamonds, sapphires, and amethysts.

-Rarity’s favorite dishes are salads and tomatoes with mozzarella cheese.

-Rarity is a Biromantic Demi with more of a preference for men.

-Not sure if I would ever claim this as my headcanon, but I always loved the headcanon that Rarity and Adagio Dazzle are related in some way! It makes a lot of sense actually!

-Rarity and Sunny Flare are cousins, despite not being too close (though after Dance Magic, they do work on their relationship).

-Rarity and Principal Cinch are related. Cinch is Rarity's aunt and the sister of Cookie Crumbles. Rarity and Cinch AREN'T close at all though.

-Cinch has a twin sister (which I haven't thought of a name for yet) and her twin is the mother of Mystery Mint. So Rarity, Sunny, and Mystery are all cousins!

-One of Rarity's choices as far as high school went was Crystal Prep, but given their reputation and how they treated people (and due to her aunt being the principal and that the rest of her friends were attending Cantorlot High), she decided to go with Cantorlot High.

-Right after Sci-Twi and Sunset, Rarity is probably the most intelligent of the group.

-Rarity has prescribed glasses, but she wears contacts.

-I imagine her and Applejack getting together after or during their college years, even if it’s long-distance.

-Rarity always loved the idea of giving her children rare names if she ever has kids.

-She’s actually an excellent swimmer, but she wouldn’t DARE to get in the water (at least, not without a swimming cap).

-I like the idea of Rarity being African American coded, Asian coded, and/or French coded. My favorite one is African American coded mostly because she’s in my top 3 favorite characters and I would like to relate to her in some ways, being POC myself 😊

-Rarity is a BIG help with Rainbow’s transitioning into a girl. Even though she’s not too pushy about it, Rarity likes to give Rainbow more wardrobe options, giving her a chance to experiment with different fashion choices and styles. Even though Rainbow makes it clear that she likes her original style, she doesn’t mind too much of Rarity showing her different choices. This explains this scene.

Rainbow: Nope! Not for me! Not this time!

Rarity: Well, it was worth a shot! Not your thing, got it! We can try something else!

-Rarity is part-vegan. She mostly eats vegan dishes but doesn’t mind a succulent steak every now and then.

-Since she’s rich, she always treats her friends (especially Fluttershy and Pinkie) to spa treatments. Her personal favorites are the seaweed, oat, and honey face masks.

-Rarity’s guilty pleasure foods are caviar and fish paste.

-Both Rarity and Sweetie are part of the LGBTQ community, so of course, they have each other’s backs, are supportive of each other and their journeys. Sometimes they feel down and the other has to pick them back up every now and then. And that’s ok! Their sisters, family, and friends! Due to this, I imagine them being close.

-Everybody knew that Rarity was a Bi disaster...except for Rarity at some point lol 😂

-Rarity has a hard time choosing between night and day as far as her favorites go. Rarity likes the day because she likes sunrises, drinking her morning tea and coffee and there's so much more to do in the day. However, she loves the beauty and colors of the night. She likes to get her beauty sleep and loves the peaceful quiet that the night brings.

-Rarity LOVES horses. She finds them beautiful. She loves to get on them anytime she can, but since she only started when she was 16, her riding experience isn't that good. Applejack, fortunately, helps out a lot in that regard, since she rides horses since she was little. So Rarity gets better along the way. Not as good as Applejack though lol

-Thanks to Fluttershy and Applejack, animals are starting to grow on Rarity. She's starting to see the beauty in all animals despite their flaws.

-If Rarity had to choose another pet other than a cat, she would choose a bird 🐦

(Might add more soon!)

[ailendolin]

-one aspect about them i love

If you have already answered for Pat then I sincerely apologize!

Also *tights hugs* for stressful day at work! I hope you can relax now or soon!

💜💜💜💜💜

Thanks, dear! 💙 I only realized your ask was about one part and not the whole thing after I had already written down my answers so you get all of them (well, with the exception of one) - whether you want them or not 😂

One aspect about them I love: How much of a team player he is. He probably took one look at the other ghosts after his death and was like, “Yeah, these folk need some group activities.” I also love how patient he is when he’s teaching or explaining something. We know he's good with kids and that definitely comes in handy here because let's face it - more often than not, the ghosts behave like actual children.

One aspect I wish more people understood about them: I’m drawing a blank here, sorry. Maybe that he also has a darker side? I mean, he literally tells Alison to murder his wife, so ...

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have about this character: Pat died hungry. He skipped breakfast the day he died, and because you stay how you die he has this fixation on food the other ghosts don’t have.

One character I love seeing them interact with: The Captain. Look, I just love that moment when Pat gives him the badge after they go camping. He knows Cap so well and found the perfect way to tell him he did a good job despite not knowing the right names for the knots etc. And I think, should Cap ever come out to one of the ghosts (as opposed to all of them at once like he almost did during the group therapy session), Pat would be the one he would confide in.

One character I wish they would interact with/interact with more: Why was my first thought Barclay’s dogs? Lol. I’m going to go with Humphrey for this one because for all the effort Pat puts into group activities Humphrey still gets forgotten a lot and that’s not okay. I think it would be very in-character for Pat to notice that and do something about it. I can totally see him going looking for Humphrey before their next club starts (except when it’s Improv Club. Humphrey is forever banned from Improv Club).

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have that involve them and one other character: As we’ve seen in the latest Christmas Special, Pat’s knowledge of the others is only rivalled by Fanny’s. And for that reason I think he knows about the Captain’s pillow talk and one day, maybe just before the Captain’s birthday, he asks Alison to get Cap a dog-shaped pillow so Cap can actually talk to someone (well, more or less – it’s still a pillow but at least it’s now one in the shape of a friend). Contrary to Alison's belief, Cap doesn’t call the pillow Barry – that would be like trying to replace his beloved dog and he would never do that . So he calls it Larry instead 😉 And Pat's the only one who knows.

These are just my opinions, don’t crucify me. 😂

I think parentheses should only be included if absolutely necessary. The only times I really see parentheses in novels is if you’re writing a book directed at a teen crowd.. for example, my favorite book from teenhood, Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, uses these a lot, and they’re usually set in a “(read: __)” style. Most of the time though, I think it’s better if you can work whatever you would usually put into parentheses into your sentence, or commit to a new sentence for it instead.

Love em-dashes, I use them all the time, maybe more than I should lmao. Try not to overuse them, though.. and I’ll work on that as well.

Italics are great when you want to put more force behind certain words. For instance, if a character is angry with another character and yelling at them, putting certain words in italics better emphasizes the most important words in their sentences. I use them a lot in these scenarios. And in general, it’s just good for emphasis on words you want to stand out when a character is speaking, or when you want your reader to really understand a certain point. Definitely recommend.

Putting dialogue in all caps to imply yelling should only be used when a character is at peak levels of frustration/desperation, and it shouldn’t be overused. It should only be used at the most crucial, climactic point of a fight or distressing situation. Otherwise, use exclamation points or italics.

If you use semicolons, I beg you, please know how to use them and don’t throw them in everywhere, lmao. They’re used to connect related independent clauses. A bridge between sentences. There shouldn’t be 50 of them in a row either, lol. 1-3 is typically fine, though.

Capitals should only really be used for proper names, stand-alone letters like “I”, or beginnings of sentences. If your word is none of these things, it probably shouldn’t be capitalized. And the only time an entire word should be capitalized like this is if we’re meant to get a visual of something - a bold sign for example - or if you’re writing a script and certain words need to be put in caps.

Please please please don’t overuse repetitive punctuation. You should only use this when it’s absolutely necessary, maybe only once or twice in a story, depending on the length as well. If I go to read your fanfic and you have 50 times where periods are placed where they shouldn’t go, I will leave immediately, lmao. You only should do this for specific dramatic purposes, and I promise you don’t need to do that 50 times in one fanfic.
