Zayne loves a nice and healthy butt, when he is kissing you, his hands naturally gravitate towards it.

and when he is pent up, he loves to see the way it jiggles as he takes you from behind. He likes to have you sit on his lap, feel you on him. It allows him to be subtly 𝐹𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓎.

Zayne seems like the type of man who likes to be handsy, but never put you in a compromising position or embarrass you. So he loves to have you on his lap when dinner with his colleagues is running too late for his liking

what? No, nothing nefarious is going on here; my lovely girlfriend is just sitting on my lap. Why is she red? oh, she just is feeling under the weather, that's all.

100 Follower Milestone Poll! 🎉🎉🎉

Heya lovelies!!! This blog hit 100 followers oh my goodness!!!

I really can't believe it, it's so awesome to see you all here! <333 Whether you're new or old around here it doesn't matter, I am electronically hugging and/or patting all of your heads in great thanks! ✨💖✨💖✨💖✨

To celebrate, I have some options in a poll for y'all to choose what you would like to see for this milestone! I HIGHLY suggest reading the explanations of each option below the break! It clarifies some important details. Its down there so any of y'all just scrolling by won't have to worry about a wall of text! <3

Please feel free to vote even if you aren't following me!!!

Poll Options explanations:

Drop early chapters of EYED / Dreamlike: This is a Moon-centric x reader fic I've been working on for several months now and I originally planned to start posting it when I finished it or got really close to doing so. I dropped a sneak peek of it here! I find myself currently on a standstill on it's later chapters, which is why it hasn't been finished yet, but otherwise I am reallllly happy with it's messaging and pacing. (Rn I have plotted out 15 chapters but it's looking like it could be longer with how I write oops-)

The first chapters have been pretty polished at this point, so if people are really curious about this one, I don't mind to start posting the chapters up to a certain point. If this wins, I'll post the first 3 chapters for 3 sequential days, then 4 and 5 will come out in the next week, and then the last week I'll post ch. 6 for no particular reason mhmm yup I am not planning anything nefarious-

Drawing requests: This would be my first time doing something like this, and while I know I can pop out some bangers for y'all I also don't want to dig myself into a hole and leave y'all waiting for a long time. 😅So if this wins, I'll take the first 10 requests and draw them out! If I feel capable of doing more I may open some more slots for y'all, but I need to test my speed and my capabilities here first. Expect some lovely rendering bc I love it so, but I won't be doing backgrounds (besides simple colors) for the sake of my sanity.

Drabble requests: Most of ya here probably see me as only an artist, but I do write and actually started out as a writer first for this fandom hehe. ✨ I've been doing well recently with short stories so as long as y'all want em, I can hopefully dish em out at a reasonable pace! I, again, haven't done something like this before. So if this wins, I'll take the first 10 requests, but I feel more confident that I can do this at a reasonable pace, so if things go well I'll open up 5-10 more slots for y'all!

Rendered drawing of a dca AU: Hehe, my forte /J. I've drawn some whacky crossovers, cute sillays, and horror stuff at times, but some of y'all also know I love soooo many AUs in this fandom, hehe! I definitely do not mind drawing AUs, there are MANY I haven't drawn for, but I will be avoiding drawing other's specific AUs. I love making fanart, but this is going to thank y'all for being here, so I would like to keep from using someone else's AU -- it would feel like I'm stealing them e3e.

Plus, this is from me to thank you! And so will the goobers! I'll try to be as detailed as possible with both the characters and location <3

If this wins, I'll set up another poll to last for 3 days. It'll have some general au options like Mer, then I'll list out some crossovers I have done like Submas! Sun/Moon, and I'll add my own AUs! There will also be an option to suggest an AU/crossover! (Please don't be afraid to do so, as long as enough people have an interest in the option, or even if it doesn't win I may still make it if I really like the suggestion! <333)

Rendered drawing of Biblical dca: This means the drawing will be as realistic to the original as I can get it! Gonna do my best to do material rendering and all mwehehe! Though, I may make him extra polished/shiny to not only play with reflections, but to also say how sparkly y'all make me feel hehe ✨✨✨

If this wins, I'll try to finish the drawing within a week or 2 after I make the announcement of the poll's winner! I'll also throw out a really quick poll for 1 day to let y'all pick who will be our biblical goober: Sun, Moon, or Ruin Eclipse!

Something else: This is pretty self explanatory, but if you have ideas, comment below! (You can even if you didn't pick this option!!!) And if you see an idea you like or that you wanted to comment already said below, please reply to that person's comment to keep things easy to track! You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, just drop something simple like ✨ in it and I'll know that means ya voted for it. :) (I'll be checking to make sure people didn't vote on the same comment more than once! But you can vote for multiple ideas <3)

If this wins/has enough interest, I'll choose the most popular suggestion! Depending on what suggestion wins, I may actually do BOTH that suggestion and the winning/2nd place option on the poll!!!! ( Woah 2 for one what :O )

My choice 💥💥💥: I typically don't like making choices actually, but in the case y'all are indecisive I will step up ✨✨✨ If this wins, I'll likely choose whatever sounds best to me in that moment hehehe, you'll never be 100% sure what I'll do >:)

Moon's bald and we love him for it: Oh yeah we do! <3 This is just a joke option to let people who don't want to vote to see the results. If this wins... Uh... We'll go for the 2nd place vote! And also I'll add a bald Moon doodle as a bonus goodie. (I'm so good at making incentives to get people to vote, I know I know ✨✨✨)

Thanks again for all the love guys!!! This fandom has been so good to me and I cannot thank y'all enough for making it as awesome and welcoming as it has been! <333

[jackofallrabbits]

It's the time of year! Was I finally getting a week's worth of rest and cosy up to my iPad like a hermit? And I got my eyes on you! Been wanting to design some connect art for ya Signs of Life story! Also, I just recently realized that I had read the sun and moon beforehand and oh my god. You depicted the emotions so well In your writing I had to stop at the scene where they were eating on the Eclipse ship with Yn and Sun, and Moon hostage and as yn realized I realized too, THE TRAUMA THAT THAT BITCH GAVE THOSE LILL GUYS WAS SO DISGUSTING I could feel my stomach drop and get a sense of dreed, it's been a few months and I think I have mentally recovered to start again! Hope ya don't have any more traps ✨

HI CAI!!

OH THAT THRILLS ME! Your art is always such a treat and so so pretty! I would die if you did that really I would! (But there's no pressure <3 )

OHO! I'm glad that I could capture the emotions so well and give you that dire sense of dread that I so enjoy! Eclipse is such a nasty bitch and that's why I love him so much. He's awful and wretched and hands out PTSD like it's a party favor to all his esteemed guests! I love putting those poor guys through the wringer. YIPPEE! THANK YOU FOR READING, SWEETIE!

Traps? Me? No, never! Would you mind stepping into this inconspicuous pile of leaves? For fun of course! There's nothing nefarious hiding under the leaves, and maybe you'll find a nice juicy berry!

[luckyyyduckyyy]

Ahhhhhhrrggg yap yap yap yap, hi :). I just woke up late and I’m here to cause chaos. My question is… what are some songs you listen to while you do other things? Annnnd what DCA AU has captured your brain with the most brain rot. (Hope you’re having a good day/evening/night.)

A happy yap yap yap to you too hehe! Elloooo :333

My friend... You're opening a can of worms with that music question >:3

Rubbing my hands nefariously like a FLY

I am a massive KGLW fan and I hyperfixate on the band SO BAD. I DO listen to other songs not by them, but recently its been JUST them.

I went from listening to their album B741 for almost straight 9 weeks, to a small break bouncing between all their albums, to having spent about a week straight now listening to their LIVE Miami '24 set constantly. (I was at that concert!!! It's awesome to relive it in my head. I think I can even hear my cheers at times -- though that may just be the wishful thinking lol, I definitely wasn't the only woman near the stage.)

Here's some of my favorite songs from both albums if you're curious, I am always happy to talk about KGLW :3 (They'll be below the break since Tumblr makes them GIGANTIC oml)

As for AUs... @/paranoidactivityau in general just popped out of nowhere and slapped me into heaven. It's such a good concept and that art is IMMACULATE ughhhh leave it to 8um8le to create amazing characters. I was so intrigued by their Sun, charmed by their puppet Moon, but then floored by their Eclipse. Paranoid Activity Eclipse save me.... I wanna make fan art of him so bad but I need to finish other stuff first...

As for my own AUs, the brain rot likes to be passed around like a hot potato, it almost changes daily what one I'm focused on. The most recent is the Royal AU for obvious reasons, I spent so long brainstorming for it lol, but the broken and somewhat scary Eclipse I hinted at here likes to take up a lot of space in my mind. I'll call it the MOTU AU for now since it's heavily based upon the story of an album that goes by the same name, Murder of The Universe. (By, you guessed it, KGLW lololol) This technically means my Bones fic/AU has also been on my mind, because the Moon from there will somewhat show up in this AU! Ya gotta love to see it when Oneshots worm their way into something else. :3

Hehehehehe thank you for asking! I am currently having a good afternoon, and it's made even better being able to yap about my interests hehe <333

A good timezone to you too Lemmones! Keep causing chaos :3

The songs get loud at times, especially the lives, so just a quick heads up. The Live was a rock/metal live so they made their songs extra gravely <3

MINORS OF THE TICKLE COMMUNITY!

Gather 'round if you please children, there is yet another announcement for you. Whether you read or not I can't control, but at least it's out there and ya hopefully realize we ain't trying to be jerks for no reason. ANYWAYS!

When we, the adults of the community, tell you "Do not interact/follow"(DNI/DNF) IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO BE RUDE OR PUT A DAMPER ON YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE. It is 1000% a SAFETY ISSUE.

What some of y'all might not realize is that, interacting with adults this way can be SUPER HARMFUL in more ways than one. Let me explain:

1. POWER IMBALANCE:

Now I'm sure y'all have seen this a gazillion times over but may not fully understand what that means. As much as y'all may disagree and say "I don't bend to peer pressure so this doesn't apply to me." You're right, partially, because we aren't your peers. We are older, by society standards we are your elders, those you look up to and, like it or not, we are those you are swayed and influnced by. You try to fit in to appear grown or mature. I'll say it now:

Hang onto you're childhood for dear life because honey the struggle doesn't get easier just cuz you're older; quite honestly IMO it's worse because the consequences are worse and society has less sympathy for you. That phrase "They're just a kid" saves ya more than you know.

Anyways back on track here; with tickling, it IS an intimate thing, whether most believe so or not. Now I don't mean intimate as in "sex related". A lot of people try to slap "intimacy" and "sex" in the same box when intimacy itself is the umbrella subject and sex is a subcategory. Just because someone doesn't view tickling in a "arousing light" shall we say, does not negate the fact that it is INDEED an act of intimacy.

So this is clear: INTIMACY. IS. NOT. JUST. ABOUT. SEX.

DEFINITION OF INTIMACY:

Intimacy: a close, familiar, and usually affectionate or loving personal relationship with another person or group.

While this may seem fairly innocent in definition, with online strangers you don't know and have never met, this can be highly dangerous for both parties.

2) LEGALITY ISSUES:

Minors y'all might not realize this, but if something happens to y'all because of "online interactions" with adults, y'all get abducted/run away/ just flat out disappear, we could end up on that suspect list.

We could be jailed and stuck on a "child predator" registry without even really talking to you. But because we didn't block you, or we might've been unaware of the fact we were talking to a minor when there's no age in your bio anywhere, or heck even if we were unaware ourselves of the intimacy/power imbalance issues, we are in the running for being someone that influnced you or could've taken you. Bottom line: WE COULD GET IN HUGE TROUBLE.

3) MENTAL HEALTH:

As I said before, we are adults and not your peers. Because of this factor, we could seriously influnce how you view yourself and how you let others treat you.

We could have a certain control over you and you wouldn't know, you could take it as someone just being friendly or someone who is finally treating you "like a grown up" and not think twice. They completely alter your thought process and self esteem without you being aware of it.

Obviously you could say "that's not everyone". Again you're right it's not everyone. But the problem is, you don't know which ones have nefarious and disgusting intentions and who doesn't. Your parents/guardians can protect you from a lot, but with most of y'all having cellphones/internet access from the time you're like 5 years old, there's not much they can do to protect you from the online world. So you need to protect yourselves and one way of doing that is not interacting with adults.

We know y'all just wanna be included and ya want validation that your not "a weird kid" for liking tickling or that you aren't "childish" by getting conformation from an online community or adults that like it as well. But in the end, stick to interacting with your peers for those things. I know it may not seem like a big deal when your friend on here is only 5 years older than you at 20 or that at 17 it doesn't seem like such a problem when your chatting with an 18 yr old but the reality is that, it is. It's a giant problem and can cause a world of hurt for all involved.

THIS GOES FOR THE ADULTS TOO, BUT MOST OF YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY NOW AND IF YA DON'T, NOW YOU HAVE AN EXPLANATION TO DERIVE FROM.

So in summary:

MINORS: Don't interact with adults/ageless blogs

ADULTS: Don't interact with minors/ageless blogs

[margoblack]

my dear Margo‼️ i was wondering if you had any book recommendations? I’m trying to expand my tastes so any genre would be cool, thank you‼️

- your 3‼️

Dear 3,

Of course!

My favourite book is I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. Which is a, well YA, from 1948. A love story set in 1930s England that follows 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain and the fortunes of her eccentric family struggling to survive in a decaying English castle. It is just charming and funny, and just creates such a warm feeling in my chest.

My other favourite book is wildly different and that The Stand by Stephen King. A patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of the world’s population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge—Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious “Dark Man,” who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them—and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity. Like, obsessed with the book and Nick Andros is my favourite character in anything ever. Like it is his absolutely best book and there is no POV character where you go... oh... you. Everyone is amazing. Stephen King is my favourite author, but he has some woofs so let me know if you want a bigger King list.

Book Recs or Author Recs Below:

Dean Koontz - Odd Thomas ( Dean is someone I rip off... I mean am inspired by who mixes jokes with the plot type of thing) and Intensity

Betty Smith - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (same as Capture, it's pathos and how the family is described is just full of so much love)

Richard Laymon - Night in the Lonesome October seriously, seriously love this absolutely insane book. I wish I could get people to read this.

Everything changed for Ed that day in the fall semester when he got a letter from Holly, the girl he loved. "Dear Ed," it began, "I will always cherish the times we had..." Holly was in love with someone else. It was as if his whole world had changed in a second. That night, heartbroken and half mad with despair, Ed couldn't sleep, so he decided to go for a walk. But it's a dark, scary night in the lonesome October, and Ed is not alone... There are others out there in the night, roaming the streets, lurking in the darkness—waiting to show Ed just how different his world could be. Some of them are enticing, like the beautiful girl who wants to teach Ed about the wonders of the night. Some are disturbing and threatening. Some are deadly... and in search of prey.

Also love his Savage.

Raymond Chandler -- Farewell My Lovely I am mad on Raymand Chandler. He wrote my favourite line of all time.  'She jerked away from me like a startled fawn might,if I had a startled fawn and it jerked away from me.'

Nick Hornby - Not Fever Pitch, I fucking loathe Fever Pitch. But A Long Way Down. "One New Year’s Eve, four people with very different reasons but a common purpose find their way to the top of a fifteen-story building in London. None of them has calculated that, on a date humans favor for acts of significance, in a place known as a local suicide-jumpers’ favorite, they might encounter company. A Long Way Down is the story of what happens next, and of what doesn’t.” Just darkly funny, heartbreaking in parts and you just can't stop reading once you start.

Stephen King - The Dark Tower series. Best ending ever written in my opinion.

Anne Rice - Vampire Chronicles . First three only and get out of dodge.

And saving to last because I do not think I am goign to be able to find you a copy, but the biggest influence on me, ala dark humour within the story is: Skin Flicks by Philip Caveney. The wrong summary is attached everywhere to this! It is not a porn film, haha. It's about a serial killer in Manchester and a sweet dude who ends up in the middle of it all, the exploration of LGTBQ, an amazing detective on the case and just darkly funny throughout... Wow this is nowhere online. That means I can plaigerise the shit out of it. They are so hard to find, that I used to buy his books directly from the author. He really should have been bigger than he was. He moved into YA and left me alone, holding my favourite - this one-- to my chest.

So overall, I read a lot of horror (I didn't put James Herbert in here, because if you don't like horror, he is terrifying but none of the above are scary!) and I prefer my comedy alongside pathos, drama or horror so the above nail all of that.

Also, all of previous icons were from Sweet Valley High. I do not recommend Sweet Valley High unless you can time travel as nostalgia does all the heavy lifting there.

(I recommend Night In the Lonesome the most so I can have someone else who read it in the world with me)

Scooter Legacy 2020 - generations 1-9

ya know, I was gonna make individual posts about the old generations of this save, since they're coming here from their old home on dreamwidth, but I'm really lazy so we'll just go with the one. a primer post. why not.

for a bit of background, I started this save in the middle of the start of the pandemic, right after completing another legacy, and I blasted through this thing in like, 2 years? I had never felt so fuckin productive. let’s ignore the fact that stopped playing for 1.25 years after generation 8 though. okay.

to the shock of nobody, each colour-coded generation had some story that eventually just devolved into pure gameplay. listen when i tell you i'm a one trick fuckin pony, i mean it. here's what happened:

Generation 1: Percy Scooter and Sebastian Park. my founders. Percy was the sheltered only child of a rich old Chinese woman who hired Sebastian to be her butler and personal service worker. awkward enemies to lovers plot ensues. they had 2 kids: Ollie (who died as a child) and Josie.

fun fact: I was looking at my timeline and it makes perfect sense that Percy's mother, Francie Chen, would've been the younger sister of Chen Ruiyang (Lucky Legacy). they even had the same last name. so I made that canon. duh.

Generation 2: Josie Scooter and Matangi Silva. childhood friends. Mat left town to become a vet, and Josie tracked him down to continue their fledgling romance they had as teenagers. they also had a fuck ton of animals, one of which was the iconic Mayor Whiskers. they had 1 kid: Randy.

Generation 3: Randy Scooter and Collin Pix. Randy, Collin and Ripp Grunt from TS2 were roommates at a college that psychologically broke down students before selling them to aliens for Nefarious purposes. it was kind of a lot. they ran away to Sulani and had 3 kids: Willow, Xander and Landon.

Generation 4: Landon Scooter and Toro Katalunan. childhood friends that reunited as adults that tackled off the grid living together. their friendship and eventual romance persisted through awkward misunderstandings and island ghosts. they had two children: Kai and Sully.

Generation 5: Sully Scooter and Ori Delgado. Ori guided Sully through the jungle in the search of a cure for the genetic condition they were born with (I also brought this up during my flop reclaimed roots legacy). kissing ensued. they had three children: Luca, Brianna, and Damián.

side note: I also started a side story about the Strangerville mystery that coincides with this generation. this family went on to spawn Dakota Dinh, co-founder of the Lucky Legacy. it's all circular y'know?

Generation 6: Damián Scooter and Hari Rotan. I fucking hated this generation because it was Eco Lifestyle. I don't remember the story and I don't want to. they had two kids: Laila and Yasmin.

Generation 7: Laila Scooter and Kawahara Koichi. Laila, a giant fucking twat, goes to university and makes enemies with everyone except the anti-social weirdo that loves robotics. then they terrorised Evergreen Harbour together. they had one child: Xavier, who they sorta neglected ngl lmfao

Generation 8: Xavier Scooter and Fayrouz al-Dimashqi. my FAVOURITE! generation. Xavier, a traumatised individual, moves to San My and has his icy heart opened up by the warm and welcoming Fayrouz. unfortunately, he died before his time, leaving Fayrouz a widow. they had one child: Kaleb.

Generation 9: Kaleb Scooter and Natasha Deleon. Kaleb and his gf Jaesha, family vloggers, are pressured into a wedding for their viewers, which is being planned by Natasha, Kaleb's childhood friend. they run away together from Kaleb's livestreamed wedding. they had three kids: Aaron, Evan, and Naomi.

which leads us to where we are today, with Naomi and Taryn forming Generation 10, and Dexter about to launch Generation 11. let's see where this goes next!

If you're looking for a few books to get you into the Halloween spirit this week, we put together three book lists earlier this year:

3 YA Black Horror Books for Spooky Season

Haunting Reads for Your TBR

Celebrating Women of Horror

And in case you've already seen all of those lists, here are six more books that came out recently that might also fill your Halloween needs:

The Forest Demands Its Due by Kosoko Jackson

A Lesson in Vengeance meets The Taking of Jake Livingston in this page-turning YA horror/fantasy set in dark academia about a queer Black teen who discovers the sinister history of his boarding school and the corrupt powers behind it all. Regent Academy has a long and storied history in Winslow, Vermont, as does the forest that surrounds it. The school is known for molding teens into leaders, but its history is far more nefarious. Seventeen-year-old Douglas Jones wants nothing to do with Regent's king-making; he’s just trying to survive. But then a student is murdered and, for some reason, by the next day no one remembers him having ever existed, except for Douglas and the groundskeeper's son, Everett Everley. In his determination to uncover the truth, Douglas awakens a horror hidden within the forest, unearthing secrets that have been buried for centuries. A vengeful creature wants blood as payment for a debt more than 300 years in the making—or it will swallow all of Winslow in darkness. And for the first time in his life, Douglas might have a chance to grasp the one thing he’s always felt was power. But if he’s not careful, he will find out that power has a tendency to corrupt absolutely everything. A high-octane mystery of murder and magic for fans of Ace of Spades, House of Hollow, and Get Out!

And Don't Look Back by Rebecca Barrow

Harlow Ford has spent her entire life running, caught in her mother’s wake as they flit from town to town, hiding from a presence that Harlow isn’t even sure is real. In each new place, Harlow takes on a new name and personality, and each time they run, she leaves another piece of herself behind. When Harlow and her mom set off on yet another 3 a.m. escape, they are involved in a car accident that leaves Harlow’s mother fatally wounded. Before she dies, she tells Harlow two things: where to find the key to a safety deposit box and to never stop running. In the box, Harlow finds thirty grand in cash, life insurance documents, and several fake IDs for both herself and her mom—an on-the-run essentials kit. But Harlow also finds a photograph of her mom as a teenager with two other girls, the deed to a house in a town she’s never heard of, and a handful of newspaper clippings discussing the disappearance of a woman named Eve Kennedy, Harlow’s grandmother…relics of a part of Harlow’s life she never knew existed. With these tantalizing clues about her mother’s secrets and the power to choose her own future for the first time, Harlow realizes she has two choices: keep fleeing her mom’s ghosts or face down the nebulous threat that’s been hanging over her for her entire life.

A teenage girl is pulled into investigating the truth behind her new boarding school’s decades-old legend in The Changing Man , this debut Young Adult speculative thriller by Tomi Oyemakinde Face front.

Because despite her being in the Urban Achievers scholarship program, her parents can barely afford the tuition. No matter who is trying to be friends with her, like her classmate Bijal, or how much the prestigious boarding school tries to pull her in, Ife is determined not to get caught up in any of it. But when another student, Malika, begins acting strange, Ife can’t help but wonder if there’s more going on at Nithercott than she realizes. Could there be any truth to the school’s decades-old legend of the Changing Man? Is there any connection to the missing older brother of her classmate, Ben? As more questions arise, Ife has no choice but to team up with Ben and Bijal to investigate. But can the trio act quickly enough to uncover who is behind everything, before one―or all―of them is the Changing Man’s next victim?

The Grimmer by Naben Ruthnum ECW Press

The small-town mysteries of John Bellairs are made modern with a dash of Stranger Things in this spine-tingling supernatural horror-thriller. After his father returns from treatment for addiction, highschooler Vish ― lover of metal music and literature ― is uncertain what the future holds. It doesn’t help that everyone seems to know about the family’s troubles, and they stand out doubly as one of the only brown families in town. When Vish is mistaken for a relative of the weird local bookseller and attacked by an unsettling pale man who seems to be decaying, he is pulled into the world of the occult, where witches live in television sets, undead creatures can burn with a touch, and magic is mathematical.

PERENNIAL is the tale of legendary warmongering fairies brought back from the dead by a tyrant for a nefarious purpose. It's a super cool project of my friend's and you should go check out her art! (this is a special happy birthday message for @painted-blackbird! Love ya girl!!! your OCs are awesome!! <3)

[also, COMMISSIONS are OPEN!]

[skele-bunny]

Ello!! Loved your Cumulus hc, definitely keeping them for nefarious purposes (Cumulus content i hold dear) Hope ya having a good day/night so far! :D and thank you for taking my requests hehe. A small hc that came to me just recently is that i feel Phantom might have real soft fur but he does not take care of it properly and at some point Special drags his ass off to get properly taken care off, maybe even the doves get involved seeing Special fumbling with the new summon like he's a rowdy cat but with wings that keep flapping against Special's face. Fluff ensues ✨

-🎃

Gonna try and include the Ghoulettes in more "Thinking About" posts for you, pumpkin!! 💪💪 I'm doing good! I've had a good day today :3

Also oh my gawd yesssss!!!! Maybe it's like a trail down his neck the goes right in-between his wings, so not only does he not take care of it but more difficult to reach it. Refuses for anyone else to touch it!! It's sensitive!!! But Special can't stand looking at the matted mess while doing back shots. He's helped with Cowbell's fur TOO much!

So when Phantom is called in for a doctor's appointment, and it's just Special holding up a bucket full of shampoos and a comb, Phantom goes to run until Gaia is blocking the door. Phil is literally wrangling this little bat to the best of his abilities.

"I'M GONNA STRAP YOU DOWN STOP MOVING- DID YOU JUST BITE ME?!"

Special trying to hold tom down only to get a face full of wing-slaps, spitting as the little "teeth" keep swiping on his lip—moving back just enough Phantom runs again

Thenn here comes Sarra, putting Phantom in air jail and letting him squirm all their energy out. "Nnooooo..."

"Yessss." Sarra tutting him and carefully laying him on their stomach. "You need to take care of yourself, little void. Allow others to help you in your time of need."

Phantom is whining the entire time as he feels Special spraying down his fur and wings, then scrubbing so many soaps, shampoos, and conditioners in. It's a good amount of fluff, Phil sitting on Phantom's legs while brushing out each knot and cutting the matted parts that can't be saved. Eventually, Phantom starts calming down and loves the feeling, purring under their breath and slowly being pulled to sleep.

By time he wakes up, he's in a ghoul pile with the Doves, Special, and Bell. His wings doing little stretches and accidentally hitting Bell that wakes him up. Phantom just staring at this fluff ball with a skeleton head, but they can't help himself and runs his hand on Bell's fur and it's a "woahhh" moment xufgvihib Cowbell just giving a jaw clap and laying back down, his own hand going to Phantom's back to touch his own now soft fur.

Needless to say, he starts letting them take care of his fur (refuses to learn it himself bc he loves being pampered)

disrespectfully, you genuinely have to not be a gamer to misunderstand so deeply what "shared world states" being in demand looks like, within context. if you want to make dragon age online, you need to do that OUTSIDE of the single player games (final fantasy, elder scrolls are both good examples, fallout maybe? didn't play that MMO 😂). you cannot just turn a thing into the exact opposite of what it is. and if you want to make destiny? then make it. and look, they tried! no one liked anthem. at ALL. bc that storytelling is just NOT a bw strongsuit! weekly storytelling is another beast. if you are going for only expansion drops, then you either need to have a remarkable enough story to bring people back in after they break or you need to have a good enough gameplay loop that people want to log back in (ideally, both). I have not once ever in my life heard a person say they loved a bw game for the gameplay, not ever. It's always "I love the characters" and "the world was very interesting" and "choices matter, which makes me feel satisfied and interested in replaying", and if anything, it is often the case at least for dragon age I would hear a lot of like, it's enduring the gameplay *because* the story is so good you'll just deal with a game you don't think is very fun or at the very least just not your general style.

now, people love playing together. this is just true, always gonna be. but "multiplayer" need not mean "live service" and this is a Certified Original Gamer Fact. I have never played elden ring or bloodborne or dark souls or whatever (in my mind those are all the same game, idk) but I know you can have people in your world that interact with you, either generously or nefariously. They could go that route, and maybe it could be interesting to, if allowed, have other players interact with your world and possibly alter NPC states or location states, or maybe instead bc maybe there's just assholes who murder Teagan over and over again before I get to flirt with him, you could just allow visitors. It could be relatively cosmetic like an animal crossing, or you could allow story interactions as well, like what baldur's gate 3 recently did. In the latter case, the online hosted/local mult players get to pursue dialogue interactions with companions (and thus, romances) so long as 1P the host isn't interacting with them. They advance in story with you, but they are like, ghosts ya know, like, they can't just pick up that character and then roll with it. They're there with you when you're both available but otherwise 1P is playing as usual while 2-4P are just stored in camp, waiting to be controlled by a person again. But unless I'm misremembering 2-4P cannot take these characters into a separate game....idk it's been like a year I can't remember but you get the point!!!!

THIS model, an online multiplayer model with co-op play is what I think they could have success pursuing and NOT the narrative live service model!! That is just NOT their bag! And if they wanna lock in and make it so then fine but they gotta appreciate that getting that formula right is *significantly* more difficult and it could easily be a decade plus before they really see any real progress. And when they're apparently hostile to writing, like, I'm sorry, but that DOES matter, both in long term live service models and one-time single (possibly with fun co-op multiplayer option) player titles. If you're not investing in your writers and allowing them freedom to tell the story they need to tell and instead ONLY banking on "good/fun/engaging" gameplay and then forcing writers to write around that, at a more rapid pace no less with live service, you're going to end up with a product that frankly, will fall off. Especially for this studio because wtf gameplay loops are we looking at??!?! What fun gameplay mechanics too??? The most interesting thing they ever did was a rivalry/friendship system but that requires investment in binary (at minimum) pathed companion writing, so we only ever saw it the once, with DA2, the ever humble goat, because this game was developed in like 18 months or some shit and they NEEDED to rely on GOOD writing to make a robust and still replayable game! And it fucking SLAPS.

Meanwhile compare it to DA4 which had, in its final incarnation a slightly longer by like a year dev cycle though ultimately it was *ten years*, but this time, the focus is on "gameplay". Bc that's what we play dragon age for 🙄 And how did this one fair? The worst they've ever done. And it's basically bugless! But there is NO replayability, and your choices *do not matter* so there needed to be strength in the companion or at the very least narrative/plot writing... And it just doesn't get there. It feels like it's 10% of what it should be. We only see people in two modes: kinda sad maybe but mostly tired, and determined. We get through all the formers with therapyspeak to get to the latter, every time. There isn't disapproval paths, and romance is not much additional content, nor with faction or lineage stuff (and the lineage stuff gets all over the place writing wise for elves over something as vital and core to the setting as dalishness...in THIS GAME IN PARTICULAR with an elven heavy plotline about dalish gods!). In short: all that extra time yet nothing of substance to show for it. Are you gonna replay it more than once to see the other binary choices (and play a new class since, yippee, we can't character swap anymore wow cool!!) just for "good" gameplay? Clearly not lol

It's just so annoying. World states mean something in dragon age, and it is almost universally seen as *the* thing that makes dragon age, dragon age. It makes every playthrough new, and all of them uniquely yours. People love this. Player agency and player choice is diametrically opposed to a live service model. You CANNOT have branching choice when you are releasing a story to every single player at the same time, you MUST tell One version of the story and Only One. That is *the opposite* of dragon age's DNA. If you want us to use this setting for "shared" world states, the only option you have is to give us incidental co-op, which is ultimately less a "shared world state" and more of a viewing party. You can make an NPC and join my band of companions alongside me, and even date one of em if you want but of course not my autistic wizard he is always for me first and you never if I am there, but you will bear witness to my incredible/terrible/stupid/extremely smart and correct choices. And maybe like in BG3 we can allow a proximity choice enabler, and it's a mad dash to the next quest marker to see who gets to choose what happens next... But no. These stupid clowns are like "let's try to do something we have no skills doing and also let's make sure writing is the last priority on the list even though we're like The Writing Studio lol". K. Fail. See if I care. But I ain't being bamboozled again you can't get me to buy ME5 not even if you use my autistic wizard wife as bait you can't get me lol her story neatly concluded along with everyone else's thank god goodbye

[seelestia]

Analyzing word choice is a hobby I've had since I was 12 (song lyrics>>>). Here are my favorite sentences from your latest work and why (all statements are /srs /gen unless stated otherwise).

BUT FIRST! A message from our sponsor:

Mirei Has the Vocabulary of a 6th Grader (aka words that impressed me):

• Plentitude

• Relish

• Grime

• Pristine

• Cognizant (what does this one mean????)

• Innocuous (imma have to pull out Google...)

• Languidly (the longer this list grows, the more I feel humbled 😔 /j)

• Nefarious (IK WHAT THIS ONE MEANS... I think ._.)

BACK TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING :P

Aventurine:

• "Sure, the pillows are extremely comfy but he always has a preference for things with much, much more value."

When I read this line I SQUEALED bro finds me more valuable than a pillow I'm FLATTERED !!

• "His witty quips are as feather-light in weight as light-hearted they are in intent."

Connecting the lightness of his remarks because they're not serious to the lightness of his heart because he feels content and playful SO GENIUS OMG

• *That whole angsty flashback leading up to this sentence* "Although he deems himself unworthy, an ugly grime on your pristine existence that still insists on cradling him --- but despite it all, he finds this last melody to be his favorite so far."

I'm imagining a rust stain on a glimmering silver vase and I just *heart breaks* NO AVENTURINE YOUR THE POLISH THAT LET'S ME SHINE ON BRIGHTER DAYS.

The consistent days of bliss and peace brought on by the love your life after years of unrest and turmoil. It is similar to the last chorus of a sad song, isn't it? Carrying a lighter tone than the earlier verses, an ending happier than he thought he ever deserved (PLEASE I LOVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING MUSIC RELATED 😭)

• This whole paragraph: "the light of noon greets your eyes... Penacony's limited edition perfume kisses your nose."

Tell me why I could PHYSICALLY feel every sensation omg Lia your descriptions are so VIVID

• "...instead, aventurine's arms reestablish their hold on you. Hooking you closer to him as if to wring out whatever proximity is left..."

i LOVE this line lemme tell you why cuz we often hear/read proximity being "squeezed" out until space becomes "tight" but metaphors become weaker the more they are used and yet you EXPERTLY AVOIDED THAT BY USING A VERY SIMILAR BUT DISTINCT VERB ("wring out") WHICH KEEPS THE ORIGINAL MEANING BUT GIVES IT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IMAGE (I could grasp the utter *extent* to which there was no space between us cuz it felt like he had twisted every last drop of air out from a towel) THUS MAINTAINING THE IMPACT OF THE METAPHOR !! I'm probably reading WAY too much into this BUT I CAN'T HELP IT IT'S UNIQUE AND EFFECTIVE AND PERFECT !!!

• "Aventurine knows [you can never be too stern with him], yes, and he gives you an A+ for effort each time."

*GIGGLES* <---- me anytime I receive validation, even if it's from a fanfic (PLEASE praise me/hj)

• "He has half a mind to pinch his skin, as if to remind himself that this is real. He can feel your giggles tickling his skin as if to tell him in return: yes, you are."

Odelia I cannot exaggerate when I say this line made me fall in love with him. Perfect way to end his part.

I couldn't do the writing for the other characters cuz this is SO MUCH LONGER THAN I ANTICIPATED BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT !!

Truthfully I had thoughts on EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE, it genuinely feels like every word was carefully considered and I loved all of it. You really outdid yourself with this fic and clearly MANY other people agree (THE AMOUNT OF NOTES OMG) oke gonna go study for my pre calc exam see ya !! ^•^

[ in reference to this! ]

mirei.... UR JUST LIKE ME FR! /pos. i also like analyzing and annotating my fav books!!! so to have it done for me makes me wanna sob happy tears. i'm glad it helped broaden ur vocab! english isn't my first language either so it's nice that we get to trade new words together ‹3

( yapping abt my thought process while writing aven's part in i'll show you (if you'll let me). under the cut 🙏 )

extra: speaking of innocuous!! that paragraph was one of my favs in aventurine's part. i used that specific word bcs he knows that u don't really mean it / are actually that annoyed when ur pushing his face away - so it's harmless and doesn't offend him in any way, thus considered innocuous!

moving on to ur delightful commentary !!! LOL if ur flattered, then his goal is a success. the man's a sneaky flirt even in his inner monologue... ur falling for his inescapable charms 😔 /j

THANK U! i was a little proud of that line bcs there is a nuance in meanings despite the presence of “light” in both feather-light and light-hearted. and i wanted to tie them together !! sososo, thank u for noticing aaaa ‹3

LMAOOO the way u simplified the angsty flashback pfft. hoyoverse dumped a bucket of angst in the mixing pot when they designed him 💔 a personal take on aventurine: he thinks of his past as ashes from a flame on the verge of going out (it's him, he's the flame). he doesn't think of it as a burden, rather as a symbol of the innocence he once had. he is content with bearing those ashes using his own hands. but when someone learns of it, tries to hold his hand through it, he can't help but feel like his ash-stained palm will ruin the purity yours has.

AWWW thanks :'( i still think my skills in terms of describing realistic stuff (compared to abstract emotions LOL) are lacking, but it's smth i'm trying to work on. +++ did u know? the penacony's limited edition perfume is a reference to an official skit abt aventurine's timeline! u can find it here.

it's like a towel. u gotta wring out every single drop of water left until there's none - except the water droplets are a replacement for personal space. it's giving “this is mc, they like their personal space. this is aventurine, he also likes mc's personal space.” energy LMAO. i hc him as clingy in the morning with his messy bedhead and groggy voice... (<- can't continue otherwise i'll melt at the domesticity)

THIS SMUG MAN !!!! ahem, he may or may not be patronizing us but that's ok. it's a compliment and he means it ‹3

THANK U AGAIN ( ;´ - `;) one thing abt me is that i loveeee writing the ending in my works. it's one of my fav parts to write. i treat it as an opportunity to either tie everything up nicely or do a smart & ironic callback or to put in a revelation / monologue that leaves me feeling smth after i proofread it. bcs if i feel smth from reading that then hopefully, it'll make my readers feel smth too.

^^ ANYWAY back to the context of the point above: i find that ending line to be heart-wrenching??? in a bittersweet way. this ending line also ties back to a line in an earlier paragraph: [ you question whether it could be nostalgia or instead, silent awe at a reality he never imagined could ever be his. ]! so u could say that in aventurine's part, the concept of his disbelief - over having you as a source of happiness in his life; is it truly a reality and not a dream? (and being reassured by you that this is, in fact, a reality) - is somewhat consistent in the background. it is intentional ><

NONONO, THANK U!!! this analysis has so much thought put into it and that alone is beyond enough for a silly little writer like me. i can't even express how much it matters to me that u took the time to write this and tell me ur thoughts! it's the best kind of feedback a writer can ever receive 🤍 having my writing get annotated.... i'm truly living the dream!!! T_T

[sauntering-down]

Girl There’s Demons: CoB, Chapters 3-4

By the time they got to Java Jones, Eric was already onstage, swaying back and forth in front of the microphone with his eyes shut.  He’d dyed the tip of his hair pink for the occasion.  Next to him, Matt, looking stoned, was beating irregularly on a djembe. “This is going to suck so hard,” Clary predicted.  (p.36)

Agreed. 

You should probably find some other friends to hang out with besides Simon’s weird bandmates.  You have an art group, right?  Buddies from your Tisch class?  People who might’ve come to that back-to-school party??

Or maybe not.  Clary… does not appear to have any named friends besides Simon.  She’s different, you know.  She doesn’t fit in with the normies.  She has “odd” interests like drawing and Downworld-clubbing and (gasp) watching anime.  She’s only cute, not beautiful.  She’s also a thin white girl who, by all accounts, is basically conventionally attractive and lacks any real off-putting traits or habits.  Her vague outcast status is deliberate.  This is, well, very typical YA protagonist, but it still feels strange as fuck to somebody who was not a Weird Teenage Outcast Loner by choice.

Er, sorry; that was the rant I deleted from last chapter.  Let’s continue, shall we?

“Just coffee.  Black – like my soul.” (p.36)

Okay, edgelord, calm down.  This is immediately followed by:

Simon headed off toward the coffee bar, muttering under his breath something to the effect that it was a far, far better thing he did now than he had ever done before. (p.37)

…does Simon also think she’s an edgelord, or is this exchange a reference to something I’m not cool and quirky enough to understand?  Because suddenly I’m remembering Clare was notorious for including loads of pop culture references in her mindbogglingly popular Harry Potter fanfics.  Clary finds a dark corner where they can avoid Eric asking for opinions on his poetry; the other girl sitting back there asks if Simon’s her boyfriend.

Clary hesitated a second too long before replying.  “No.” The girl looked suspicious.  “Is he gay?” (p.37)

…right, so.  Not sure that’s a question I would’ve asked about a complete stranger, especially to another complete stranger who didn’t say anything more suspicious than he doesn’t have a girlfriend.  Listen, I know exactly how outrageously homophobic the 00s were; I went to junior/senior high school from 2001 to 2007 and there is no person, inanimate object, or activity I have not heard derogatorily called gay.  Including me, A Lot, because unlike our protagonist, I was actually dumpy and unattractive and socially awkward.  For Orange Tanktop Chick to just immediately go there… wild.  And that’s gonna happen again later.  Fair warning, it’ll piss me off a lot more the second time.

Also, we all know Clary hesitated because she’s carrying a bit of a torch for her BFF.  No, really:

Normally she never thought about whether Simon was good-looking or not.  He had pretty dark eyes, she supposed, and he’d filled out well over the past year or so.  With the right haircut – (p.37-38)

I wasn’t joking about the love triangle.  Fortunately, we don’t have to deal with it in agonizing detail yet.  Eric begins reciting poetry.

“Come, my faux juggernaut, my nefarious loins!  Slather every protuberance with arid zeal!” (p.38)

SOBBING.  Simon is profoundly embarrassed by his friend’s loin-filled verses, Clary is giggling from profound embarrassment, and they’re both so valid rn.  But what’s this?  Simon wants to keep talking about not having a girlfriend??

“Oh, I don’t know.  Ask Jaida Jones out,” [Clary] said, naming one of the few girls at St. Xavier’s she actually liked. (p.39)

…literally ten seconds ago I was looking over that formerly-deleted rant I inserted a few paragraphs back, wondering if I was being too harsh on Clary.  Now I don’t think I was.  She’s Not Like Other Girls, folks.  Other girls are stuck-up and shallow and beautiful instead of cute.  A girl mentioned in the previous chapter (currently dating Eric and/or his loins) wore thongs.  I think I know why we never hear about her other friends besides Simon.  Those icky Other Girls can probably tell how much contempt she has for them.

And yes, if you recognize the name, Jaida Jones is a real person – half of the duo who wrote Havemercy and its sequels.  Also a well-known former Harry Potter fanfic author, I believe.  Does that sound strangely familiar?  What a coincidence, right?

Anyway!  Simon thinks he can’t date this girl because it wouldn’t be fair – after all, he’s into someoneelse.  Gee, wonder who that could be.

“You’re not gay, are you?” Simon’s greenish color deepened.  “If I were, I would dress better.” (p.39)

Hey now, let’s not stereotype.  There are two prominent queer characters in this trilogy; one dresses like a completely ordinary (if monochrome) person and the other dresses like a colorblind lunatic.  Thankfully, Clary’s impressive cluelessness and Simon’s failure to spit out a proper love confession is interrupted by Jace, which marks the first time I’ve been glad to see him.  Possibly also the last.  He’s just chilling on a nearby couch, unnoticed by everyone but Clary, of course.

She stared at Jace as she thought it, and he raised his left hand to wave at her.  A ring glittered on a slim finger. (p.40)

Huh, wonder if that’s his family ring.  Note to self.  Jace abruptly gets up and walks out of the shop, and Clary ditches Simon to chase after him.  He claims he’s not following her, and also that Eric’s poetry is garbage.  One of those statements is definitely true!

“It’s Clary.” “I know,” he said.  “Pretty name.  Like the herb, clary sage.  In the old days people thought eating the seeds would let you see the Fair Folk.  Did you know that?” (p.41)

I’m not confident I’m going to like Jace this time around anymore than I liked him the first time (I hated him), but every once in a while he’s endearing.  Like now – this is a completely bizarre thing to say, and it’s adorable.  I wish Jace was allowed to be 50% less Snarky and Sexily Troubled and 200% more unhinged.  He’s a homeschool kid with a horribly abusive dead father and he’s a Horse Girl and he’s seventeen and already spent like half his short life fighting demons.  I wish he was weird.

Man, YA loses more potentially-weird characters to Sarcastic Brooding Boyfriend Disease…

“You don’t know much, do you?” he said.  There was a lazy contempt in his gold eyes. (p.41)

Aaaand he’s back to being a douchebag.  Calls Simon ‘one of the most mundane mundanes’ ever and mocks him for his supposedly-unrequited crush on Clary.  If anyone deserves that god-awful fake incest subplot, it’s Jace.  Have a good time lusting after your sister while she dates the most mundane mundane ever, asshole!  He asks to see her right hand – specifically the right one, instead of just asking to see both, which feels like an excuse to shoehorn in the thrilling detail that he’s left-handed.  Congrats.  She can’t see the rune on his hand until he instructs her to relax her mind, and that lets her get a glimpse of it for a split second.

He smiled smugly and lowered his hand.  “I thought you could do it.  And it’s not a tattoo – it’s a Mark.  They’re runes, burned into our skin.” (p.43)

Stop Being So Smug You Dick

Jace then tells her (having lied about leaving her alone if she showed him her hands) she has to come back to the Institute with him.  We get a quick overview of Shadowhunters (the demon-killers) and Downworlders (warlocks, fairies, werewolves, vampires, et cetera).  Zombies are real, but mummies aren’t, apparently.

“Are you threatening to kidnap me?” “If you want to look at it that way,” Jace said, “yes.” (p.44)

You really should’ve kidnapped her last night.  Then there’s a good chance you could’ve gotten to Jocelyn first and prevented a great deal of trouble.  Incidentally, she calls at that very moment; Clary picks up, this time, and tells her mother she’s coming home… and Jocelyn’s like SHIT NO and tells her to go to Simon’s, absolutely do not come home.  Something shatters.

“Just promise me you won’t come home.  Go to Simon’s and call Luke – tell him that he’s found me –” (p.45)

More background noises, followed by a very strange slithering sound, Jocelyn calmly tells Clary she loves her, and then the phone dies at the most dramatic moment, naturally.  Clary freaks the fuck out, because, well, duh.  Rational reaction.  No answer when she tries again, her phone dies too after being dropped.  She snatches a gadget from Jace, but it’s something called a Sensor.  Forgot those existed.  He tries to get her to calm down and tell him what’s happening so he can help… Clary scratches his face instead and runs off.  Jace, you think that might’ve worked better if you weren’t such a smug dick for this entire conversation?

Chapter four opens with Clary running home.  She’s panicked, but not upset or stupid enough to jaywalk through heavy traffic.

The Sensor’s buttons didn’t have numbers on them, just more of those bizarre symbols, and there was no screen. (p.47)

iirc, the Sensor helps them locate demons?  I haven’t the slightest idea how this thing’s supposed to work, so she and I have that in common.  Clary’s apartment windows are lit, and therefore she thinks her mother is still in the apartment and okay.  However, before she gets home, she’s waylaid by Madame Dorothea, who’s… sitting in an armchair outside her apartment door, bitching about the noise upstairs and the dirty skylight (ahahahaha foreshadowing alert) and the light in the stairwell not working.  How suspicious.  Clary has no patience for this shit, though.  Her apartment door is open and the place is fucking wrecked – literally everything is thrown around and overturned and broken, including all of Jocelyn’s paintings.  It’s almost funny because I assume Valentine flipped his shit and took it out on the furniture, which does give off an ‘abusive ex’ vibe and keeps it from being legit funny, but it’s also sort of possible half the damage came from the Ravener showing up and going “ew, the décor in here sucks.”  Which is hilarious.

The empty frames looked like bones picked clean.  Clary felt a scream rising up in her chest: “Mom!” she shrieked.  “Where are you?  Mommy!” She hadn’t called Jocelyn “Mommy” since she was eight. (p.49)

I’m not quoting that one for mockery.  That is some good shit.  The detail about calling her Mommy because she’s completely scared out of her mind?!  Good shit.  A+.  Kitchen’s a mess too.  She has the presence of mind to realize how weird it is that this apparent robbery has left all their actual valuables alone; Jocelyn’s bedroom is also untouched.  Then there’s that same slithering noise she heard over the phone.

It was crouched against the floor, a long, scaled creature with a cluster of flat black eyes set dead center in the front of its domed skull.  Something like a cross between an alligator and a centipede, it had a thick, flat snout and a barbed tail that whipped menacingly from side to side.  Multiple legs bunched underneath it as it readied itself to spring. (p.50)

Gross.  Also, the word ‘flat’ was used twice in two sentences.  That’s not really a criticism; I’m just hyperaware of that sort of thing in my own writing.  Clary screams and runs, understandably, but doesn’t get too far.

To her horror Clary realized that the noises it was making were words. “Girl,” it hissed.  “Flesh.  Blood.  To eat, oh, to eat.” (p.51) “Bones, to crunch, to suck out the marrow, to drink the veins…” (p.51) “To eat, to eat,” it moaned.  “But it is not allowed, to swallow, to savor.” (p.52)

lbr, it’s better poetry than Eric’s.  The Sensor is going wild, heating and vibrating because Girl There’s Demons.  The demon tackles Clary to the ground, mentions ‘Valentine won’t know’ if it eats her, and Clary just fuckin’ jams the Sensor into its mouth.  The demon swallows it… and promptly dies because of all the runes on the Sensor, I assume.  Clary tries to gtfo, but yet again is foiled, this time by something hitting the back of her head and knocking her out.

She wakes up outside the apartment, head-injured, with Jace kneeling over her.  You stalker.  The cops are here, but Jace won’t let her go to them; the Ravener stung the back of her neck and she’s in pretty bad shape.

She could see the police coming up the path.  One of them, a slim blond woman, held a flashlight in one hand.  As she raised it, Clary saw the hand was fleshless, a skeleton hand sharpened to points at the fingertips.  “Her hand –” “I told you they might be demons.” (p.54)

DCAB (Demon Cops Are Bastards).  Here’s a question, though – why is this necessary?  Jace said a moment ago that demons have ways of covering their tracks, okay, but why must the police be Secret Demons coming here to do Secret Demon Evil?  The Ravener died and immediately fucking disappeared; Actual Cops already can’t do shit about that!  There’s… idk, there’s a helplessness to realizing the people you’d normally rely on to protect you are completely ineffective now because your situation is so far out of the realm of normal.  imo making the police be Secret Demons (with zero explanation for how they knew to come here or why they need to ‘cover up’ what would look to an observer like a regular robbery) feels… extraneous, I guess is the right word.  Like, if the cops are regular people, Clary has to realize they cannot do a thing for her anymore; she’s fallen into the Twilight Zone and there’s a strict line separating her old life from this bizarre new one.  Or something like that.  FYI, I’m writing this at 12:45am because I’m dead tired but I was too hungry to sleep.  Sorry if things are getting a little funky.

Meanwhile, Clary is poisoned and starts coughing up blood.

There was something in Jace’s hand, something sharp and silver.  She tried to pull her hand back, but his grip was too hard: She felt a stinging kiss against her skin.  When he let go, she saw an inked black symbol like the ones that covered his skin, just below the fold of her wrist. (p.55)

So Jace takes the chance on Marking her.  I think that would’ve had some extremely unpleasant side effects, had she not secretly been a Shadowhunter.  The rune temporarily hides her from… idk.  It doesn’t say.  Demons?  They do have actual healing runes, but I’ll assume those won’t work in this situation, because otherwise Jace is just a moron.

He caught her as if he were used to catching fainting girls, as if he did it every day. (p.55)

Come on, now, be real.  He’s not that attractive.
