Underrated early Rikma moment;
When Miriam bought that locket from the store and made a whole scene about Zane having to kiss her so he could give it to Rikki, only for her to throw it in the water after- Like I know he is the one that got it out, and it was a sweet and romantic moment between them... but I can't get over the fact that Emma immediately jumped in to go grab it despite there being so many people around and the risks involved. Cleo litterly told Rikki to try and stop Zane cause Emma was underwater looking for it. Like ??? 🥺 🥺 Emma was being so, so uncharacteristically reckless about the whole thing?
Anyways that's what's going on in my brain today, and I'm having many feelings about it...

im completely feral over all your jelsa stories!!!!!! do you ever write established relationship jelsa or have any headcanons about what they would be like together in a serious relationship or marriage????
THANK YOU SO MUCH. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕🙏 thank you thank you nonny for this super sweet ask and this really lovely question and all of your love and support!! 💕💕💕💕💕
i have... never actually written established!relationship (in any fandom), now that i'm thinking about it? that said, i guess i can come up with a quick list of some headcanons, maybe? 😂 i will have to think about this more, but for now, here's a quick drop:
elsa is an early riser; elsa helps jack create more sustainable sleeping patterns and habit formations 😂
when jack gets Impetuous Urges to Do Something Rash and Impractically Spontaneous, elsa will ground jack, reminding him to think before acting. (he occasionally Still Does It, anyway.) elsa knows what she signed up for, lol.
jack loves to play Harmless(!) Pranks, just to watch elsa’s reaction. (he is no longer allowed to sneak up on her after The Incident).
they also quibble over the definition of "harmless" and the specific logistical implications of that; for a while, jack was banned from further pranking, but then he got more creative at showing elsa that pranks could be wholesome and genuine, in which they could both be in on the joke. however, due to elsa's deeply-rooted Need to Excel and her (Not-so)Secret Competitive AF Streak, her retaliation in escalating the Cleverness Prank War quickly resulted in jack's prompt implementation of the Prank-Free Zones and Time Periods. (no, he was not scared.)
elsa, usually reserved, has learned to let her playful side show more often with jack. she might still pretend to be exasperated by his antics, but sometimes it's part of the game (or habit).
elsa sill struggles with opening up emotionally sometimes, but she progressively feels safe enough to share her innermost thoughts and fears. with time, she confides in him more about her worries. she still never likes the idea that jack sees her Imperfect Parts, but at least she can tolerate the discomfort (and, yes, take comfort in it) now
(jack loves elsa's Imperfect Parts, and jack admits that he is Weirdly Proud and Competitively Honored to be one of the only people, even including anna, who gets to see them. he also is strangely Comforted and Validated that elsa is, in fact, not perfect because for a while there, he was pretty freaked out and intimidated by how fancy she is.)
until he realized that no one ever let her actually be a Weirdo before, and once he realizes the Truth of Elsa Also Being a Secret (albeit perhaps more Subdued) Weirdo, the Universe Aligns.
jack listens to elsa's Big Conversations intently, activating varying levels of Serious Mode.
jack is getting better at recognizing the moments when elsa needs him to play and needs him to listen or Give His Opinion or any combination of those things.
jack learns that it's not always about Saying the Right Thing (which he is not very good at, anyway, or so our Serially Unreliable Narrator thinks), but rather being able to read elsa's mood and anticipate what she might need (even if she is not aware of it herself yet).
elsa is meticulous about planning and preparing for special occasions.
elsa likes traditions! jack likes tradition only because elsa likes them, lol, and hey, okay, these are more fun than he thought?? (who knew fun could be organized??!!?)
so he really wants to show (off to) her by pulling off Incredible Planning Feats in her honor, too (they do not go as smoothly, lol).
jack will often go out of his way to spontaneously create something meaningful, a moment or a gift or a gesture, that reminds elsa that he cares. he is big on words of affirmation, gift giving (but like, souvenirs that he collects on adventures like, "i saw this rock and it reminded me of your cousin olaf, we should put it on the window after we paint his face on it"), and acts of service, as well as physical touch and quality time. HE WANTS LOVE. he wants TO BE LOVED. he wants to prove that he is worthy of being loved.
(and elsa has to get him to Chill Out sometimes, remind him that he doesn't have to Do Things For Her/Anyone in order to be deserving of care; he is more than what he provides for other people.)
(jack gets its, and appreciates it, but also, the Urge to Provide and Protect is still strong, even after so much time, and sometimes Old Habits Die Hard.)
i get the sense that he'd be the type to he wake elsa up in the middle of the night to take her on a surprise adventure, or convince her to Do a Fun Thing without any preparation (/warning).
and she would Be Alarmed at the Lack of Plan (especially if/when jack Did Not Think This Through), but he also took precautions to ward off Concerns by pacifying her with tea, or reassurances that yes, he did call ahead to make sure the restaurant was open before they left the house, of course he did, he would never just leave home without double-checking beforehand (and frantically googles it two minutes later when he thinks she's not looking; she is, naturally, and even occasionally pretends not to be).
elsa approaches conflict with a desire to resolve things Calmly and Logically. she tries to understand jack’s perspective, even when she disagrees, and she’s careful with her words, not wanting to escalate the situation.
however, she can sometimes withdraw emotionally, fearing that she might say something hurtful if she’s too overwhelmed.
jack was initially (and, honestly, still is, even though he understands more now) hurt by her tendency to shut down when she Feels Too Much, and understands (although it's still hard) that elsa needs time to process her feelings and organize her thoughts.
jack also helps elsa actually Feel her Feelings, instead of just trying to intellectualize and analyze them. (she hates it, BUT sees the value. jack lives for these moments in which he realizes that he's actually contributing positively to her life and helping her in some way, rather than just being a burden or a nuisance, as was/is his fear.)
his initial reaction might be to push for a resolution quickly, but he’s also deeply afraid of Creating Distance between them, so after the first few fights, he really makes an effort to find the right balance between Pushing Hard Enough and Not Pushing Too hard, so that he doesn't drive a wedge between them as they work things out.
jack FEELS intensely, and can be so stubborn. he does not always have the most precise vocabulary or tools to describe his thoughts and feelings, or identify the root causes of what is actually going on inside him; sometimes elsa asks a lot of insightful and guiding questions that help jack come to the conclusions himself, and other times, she Puts Into Words the very thing that he had been thinking or feeling, but could not name, and it is very reassuring to have someone who understands him well enough to be able to do that.
after conflicts or arguments, they take time to Decompress and reassure one another (especially if at least one of them, if not both, was Overthinking again).
when they argue (and healthy couples do, remember!), it’s a dance of patience and understanding: elsa might need a moment to Collect Herself, and jack learns to give her that Space while also making it clear that he’s ready to talk whenever she is, and that he is going to try very hard to be Rational and Patient About It.
in the end, they both prioritize their relationship over any disagreement, always finding a way back to each other.
#now that i am really thinking about it#i have not written ANY established!relationship stories (for jelsa or any other ship) actually! why??#that is probably a good question to ask myself. 😂#my first instinct is that it's because i am personally a#Steady Serial Serious Relationship Monogamist#and i already experience so many lovely and wonderful aspects of having a Life Teammate and a trusted partner in Marriage#so i don't typically feel the urge to explore the possibilities of an already-established relationship in fiction...#i feel like my storytelling/fanfiction is based in exploring similar tropes and the base core journeys in different contexts and universes#(e.g. modern mermaid colonial!america regency!england frozen-verse frozen-and-rotg-verses)#because i like playing with how such core ideas can happen so differently (and so similarly) in various worlds with so many different rules#i got into a flow state while writing this and had to stop because i reached the tumblr text post character limit 😅#also you may or may not be surprised to see that many of these characteristics i've listed here in this est.!relationship mindset are#things that they already do in many of my getting-together stories#that's the nature of human relationships for you i guess haha 💕 it's a process!

Gem wakes up during Secret Life and discovers something has changed (aka 1296 words of Gem/Pearl for @mcyt-yuri-week)
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The first thing Gem hears are muffled voices outside. They seem to be angry about something, or perhaps distressed? She definitely knows they are louder than normal. She groans at the noise, but it brings her closer to consciousness, curiosity poking its way through the haze of sleep.
When she opens her eyes, the world spins and her head throbs. Everything is too bright, too much, and she’s quick to squeeze her eyes closed again, desperate for the feeling to go away.
She waits and ever so slowly, the voices fade back in as the overwhelm of feelings fades out.
“Impulse, you let me in right now or I’ll make you regret it.” There is a seriousness behind the threat that makes Gem sure that whatever is happening is far more important than she can comprehend right now.
“C’mon Pearl,” he placates, and Gem can imagine his hands held up in near surrender. “Give her a few more minutes, she’s not even awake yet!”
Are they talking about her? What would be so important that Pearl would threaten Impulse of all people. They were getting along earlier, weren’t they?
Earlier.
Flashes of memories finally surface to her conscious mind. The Game. The cherry forest where she built a home with her Scotts. Her tasks and a trip to the nether.
An angry enderman.
The end portal.
She’s a yellow in the death Game because They had instructed her to open up the end portal. And now her friends are arguing outside her house.
Surely, this will be fine. She takes a breath and slowly opens her eyes. The world spins again in a burst of too bright color. The pink of her walls is near blinding and it swirls into the mahogany of her ceiling. It hurts. It’s almost too much, but she squints, determined to hold out until the colors stop melding together.
Pearl’s voice sounds distant now, beyond the intensity of the light. “If you don’t let me past in the next five seconds—”
“Ok fine, you can go in!” Impulse finally agrees, panic lacing his words. “But, before you do, you should really know—”
The door opens. It’s a quiet action, calm after all the arguing, but with it comes the sunlight. The greens of the grass and blue of a sword mixing with the ever growing cacophony of color. It’s too much.
She shuts her eyes again with a wince, an action Pearl seems to notice immediately.
“Gem?” She asks, urgent and confused. Why is Pearl confused? The door closes and there is a clatter of a sword, hastily set aside as Pearl rushes towards the bed. The mattress dips as she sits near her stomach. “Gem, are you alright? What happened?”
“‘s bright,” she manages to mumble before the headache spikes with the effort of the words. Pearl says something in acknowledgement and moves away, but Gem’s focus has already wandered towards taking stock of her body.
Her mouth is dry. Dry in a way she’s sure she has never experienced. It’s horrible the way her throat catches when she tries to swallow, but for some reason the thought of drinking water is incredibly unappealing. She licks her lips in an attempt to bring some moisture back. It doesn’t work.
The next thing she notices is that her body feels heavy, sluggish. One of her arms has gone numb, probably due to the way she was sleeping.
Pearl’s weight returns to the edge of the mattress and Gem groans, wrapping towards the warmth. There’s a small chuckle as Pearl begins tracing soothing circles along her not-numb arm. “Gem, you want to try and open your eyes again? I blocked off all the windows.”
This time she steadies herself, trying to mentally prepare for the spinning. She knows it might not work, but at least Pearl is here, grounding her with a gentle touch.
She opens her eyes.
Darkness, blacks and grays spiral in with the orange of a single torch. Faded denim pants and a familiar black sweater slowly take shape and lead her eyes upward towards Pearl’s face, her too-yellow eyes shining like beacons in the dark.
This time, though, it’s not too much.
Slowly, the overwhelm dims into the shadows, clearing her vision enough for Pearl’s expression to take shape. Her brows are pinched together in concern, lips pursed as her eyes flick back and forth, seemingly taking in the details of Gem’s face.
When their eyes finally meet, Pearl’s mouth twists into a hesitant, concerned smile. “There you are,” she sighs, and it sounds far too close to one of relief.
Gem wants to reach out, wants to soothe the lines from her forehead, wants to hold Pearl’s cheek and tell her that whatever is causing this stress can be solved, but she finds that her body is still too heavy from sleep to do so. Plus, whatever is worrying Pearl must be about her.
Sure, it’s not out of the ordinary for Pearl to fret over her when she’s not feeling well, but usually it looks like a bowl of soup and a silly story to keep her entertained while being stuck in bed. This though, this feels different. There is no silly glint in Pearl’s eyes, no teasing about how her hair looks like a bird's nest or how Pearl is awake before her for once. There is only an echo of an argument and urgency and a gentle hand on her arm.
So, she opens her still dry mouth and croaks out the only question she can put into words. “What’s wrong?”
Pearl lets out a hollow laugh and Gem can see the way it smooths down a small edge of her worry. “What do you mean, what’s wrong? I should be the one asking you that.”
“I’m just sick, it’s not the end of the world.”
“Just sick? Gem you were asleep for nearly a full day! I had no idea until Impulse messaged the entire chat!” Pearl exclaims, her eyes trail towards the left side of Gem’s face. “And now…”
“An entire day?”
“How does your arm feel?”
“Pearl, what?”
“Please, just trust me for a moment.” Pearl’s eyes are searching as she leans in to brush some hair from Gem’s face before cradling her cheek. The soothing circles return in the form of a thumb tracing along her cheekbone. “How does your left arm feel?”
“It’s…” She hesitates. There is a pulsing sort of pressure that runs down from her shoulder to her fingertips. It’s an odd sensation, not quite the usual feeling of sleeping wrong against a limb. She tries to wiggle her fingers to no avail. “…numb. How did you know?”
“Try not to panic, okay?”
“Panic?” Gem questions, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. “Why would I panic?”
Pearl only gestures for her to look.
Gem tilts her head, finally looking towards her arm. It’s still dark in the room and her arm blends into the shadows. Flicks of blues and purples dance across her skin and it’s only when she sees it contrasted next to Pearl’s pale hand that she realizes, it’s not just the shadows.
Her arm is as black as the void.
A strangled sort of shout breaks free from her lips and she tries to scramble up, away from a sight so unfamiliar. Her body is still heavy, but she manages to sit up enough to get a good look at the arm laying limp beside her.
The arm, no matter how unfamiliar, is still undeniably her own. It is the same size as her arm used to be, same short fingers, attached to the same shoulder.
It has to be a dream. Or maybe it’s a cruel prank. Why would her arm look like the void?
#gempearl#mcytyuriweekvalentines#trafficshipping#body horror#nothing too descriptive but just to be safe#it's about her yellow life skin#this is part of a larger story that i might never finish#but i have so many thoughts about the secret life women and how they relate to the end#i would love to ramble about if if anyone is interested#mermaid writes#trafficfic

i'm a little sad at how sparse steddyhands and stizzy art and writing is on here now after the finale (thankfully, i am still digging through the couple thousand fics up on ao3 so i'm not totally bereft)
because during the airing of the season there was new stuff in the tags every day, sometimes even every few hours, but i think the finale really punched all of us in the face
there's lots of good stuff from before s2 to go digging through of course, and ao3 and twitter still have some new art and fic and memes if you go looking for it, but the difference from before and now seems a bit stark
don't misunderstand me, this isn't me being defeatist, just being a bit melancholy (and mad at the s2 finale tbh lol) about it. shout out to the regulars i see in the tags still making stuff and posting jokes, ya'll are doing the most and i wish you all the passion and motivation and time to create in the world <3
#obviously in this day and age ppl seem to drop fandom right away after the media in question is done so it's not totally unexpected#but the stark difference between so much new art being shared during airing vs the sudden quiet after the finale was. damn.#the izzy tag and regular fandom tags are still pretty active but i have a very specific love lol and it is#stizzy#steddyhands#gentlehands#even the ed and izzy tags are a little more active tho that's mostly because of the meta and angst enjoyers (mood)#anyway as soon as i'm done with finals and have some free time during the break i am going to draw so much old man yaoi#and maybe finally do more of and share my steddyhands mermaid au lol#also one more thing#if i'm sad about how much less steddyhands and stizzy stuff is happening#i am sending so many thoughts and prayers ™ to the frenchie and izzy and lucius and izzy shippers bc goddamn#they also got fucked over this season#we all thought we were winning and then suddenly we all got smacked in the face about it adfgfkj

thinking about how. in all the sludge of mascot horror games made just to sell merch and get big on youtube there’s one gem that’s a harrowing and horrifying story about a poor black family getting taken advantage of and exploited by a company who doesn’t even see them as human. about a little black girl who had her childhood taken away and wasn’t even allowed to be a little girl. about a black man who was likely killed by this company and then accused of “abandoning his daughter”. about a library and a neighborhood getting gentrified in the background.
and then people went and whitewashed her and said “i can draw her how i want”
#funtime speaks#yes this is about amanda the adventurer#i love this game so SO much and of course i’m not like#the person most qualified to speak on its themes. i am not black#but i am also not white#and oh my god the story it’s so obviously trying to tell !!!#i watched an FD signifier video today about bo burnhams inside#and about White Liberal Existential Art#and how like. when confronted with stories like this#with culture that isn’t theirs#with a character written to be a certain race on purpose with intention#white people don’t know how to handle it#most can’t fathom why making the little mermaid black is Fine but making amanda white is FUCKED UP#most people who do white roxy edits like literally cannot fathom that they are BEING RACIST#because they see whiteness as the DEFAULT#‘she looks like that in the comic’ she looks WHITE#and being WHITE is not important to her character because. notably. they are all aracial#so why is it an issue when she’s drawn as black?#the opposite is true for amanda#you can’t draw her as white or with less textured hair#because her story is INTRINSICALLY TIED with her being black#aaaaaaaaa#i have too many thoughts. about this

Mermay fic prologue because I have no sense of self control heehoo
Summary: A fearsome sea monster has made a name for itself, haunting sailors and attacking ships. Many such beasts have existed through folktales, each slain by a righteous hero; this is a story which must end the same. Or, at least, it would, were there not an interloper – a strange man who happens upon the dying sea-spirit and elects to save him. But was that such a good thing? Can such a folktale have a happy ending, with the monster spared its death?
Relationship: Tenma/Ochanomizu
Characters: Dr. Tenma, Professor Ochanomizu
Warnings: Canon Typical Child Death, Racism, Graphic Injury, Gore, Dehumanization
#tetsuwan atom#hirouma#hiroshi ochanomizu#my fic#heehee this time it's tenma's turn to be a prop in the beginning lol#fic name is a moby dick reference. bc of course#I thought about waiting to post this until I had the first proper chapter just because the prologue will be a bit misleading#but as always I am impatient so u just get ochan fussing over poor innocent mermaid he found who definitely isnt responsible for many death#this is going to be so extremely self indulgent dont mind me.

I keep dreaming up Limbus Company sinner gets isekaid into Genshin Impact AUs
I sadly don't have the full set of 12 plotted yet, but I've started designing the ones I'm invested in.
Everyone having locations and then casually dropping that Outis is in the Arataki Gang. Give the old woman a gun again. She deserves it. ❤️
I also think she would get along with Shinobu.
It would be an entire lore dump on their general isekai'd lifestyle, their new social circle, if they share their history, and the possibility of them using specific weapons or visions. (Some characters have notes on skill/burst/idle animations)
Currently I am drawing each character with a basic weapon that is either tied any WAW egos a character has or an item that is related to their backstory.
#Limbus Company#please tell me if i shouldn't main tag lolol#i find it fun to plot so many individual aus-- and it helps me think about different aspects of a character's personality#ive been on the Rodya Appreciation Train™️ for the past week and it's really refreshing to think about her in a new environment#just... character traumas could show in such unique ways.#the limbus cast wouldnt be stuck in the city where corporations rule the people and the poor is seen as fodder.#teyvat would literally be heaven compared to the city#Ishmael casually watching Arlecchino stomp in a guys head yeah its gross but its nothing compared to the pallad whale. or the lake mermaids.#Outis living in the daily hijinks of the Arataki Gang and learning to be a normal human being#outis having to get over her war traumas and learn to actually trust people. she gets a healing arc#i honestly think don might be the only one who would actively talk about her home world#none of the others really have anything... great to say.#Rodion might tell people but it would be moreso a threat. she shows that shes done worse. shes delt with worse.#anyways i almost put sinclair in sumeru becaue i thought it would be funny for the pathetic boy to have his prosthetic studies be used#only for Sinclair to learn that replacing someones entire body is likely. really against the law in sumeru. it would be funny for him.#but in the end sinclair is a little german guy. and the hilarious thought of him performing maracas in Diluc's bar won.

Is there any interest in a Rumiko Takahashi’s week?
Maybe around her Birthday (10th Oct.) and the prompts could be generic enough that you could make graphics or gifs or posting panels or write or draw. You could skip a day or only do one.
Some ideas:
Favourite manga/anime
Favourite panel / moment / scene
Favourite character
Favourite relationship
Fall
Free choice
Happy birthday!
edit: check out @rumicworldweek
#urusei yatsura#i thought about doing something for uy first but idk how many people would partecipate honestly#maison ikkoku#ranma 1/2#inuyasha#rinne#mermaid saga#mao#rumic world#rumiko takahashi#高橋 留美子#takahashi rumiko#ranma ½#manga#anime#lum invader

h2o au where the development on mako island goes through and harrison begins building pearl sands island resort . the main trio have an evil arc doing everything in their power to halt the construction. At first lewis tries to stick to his morals but when he goes out on his dingy and sees the harm being done to the wildlife (and has a good long think about how it’s hurting his friends and especially cleo), he concedes and helps the girls.
#many thoughts head full#the end of s1 doesn’t happen and they don’t discover the mermaids or the moonpool#personally i think there would be other magical things on mako;; not just the moon pool#so they would also learn more about the island itself#ms chatham almost has another heart attack when she hears the news#fully support of the girls breaking some spines ofc#pearl sands au#mako island grants them the s2 powers specifically to protect the island#everyone forgets this plot line but it’s so interesting#s1 has the best plot argue with the wall#h2o just add water#cleo sertori#Emma gilbert#rikki chadwick#harrison bennet

Shipping prompt for February: mermaid au
It was the only one of the prompts that appealed to me and I figured, hey, I’ll draw one off ideas we’ve had back in December that never happened- like V dressed up in an outfit from the gay pirate show, and a Prime AU Atos whos a mermaid. It’ll be fun to see them realized for one pic!
And then it turned into a whole actual AU--
There’s no stopping them
V belongs to @riftclaw
#My arts#Sonic OC#Sonic stuffs#FCs#Atos#V#Literally before this merAtos had been a passing thought in december#Bc once I watched Prime I started thinking about Storm AUs for it#Came up with a New Yolk one immediatelly but had a harder time with the others#And thought briefly 'itd be kinda funny if he was a mermaid in the pirate one because he's terrified of deep water in main verse'#And that led to 'but wait that'd make Atos a mermaid too'#And it was left at that#Until now bc this pic led to many AU thoughts with Blake and I#And now it's a thing--#It'll become apparent once i catch up to my art backlog shHSGDHSHD

I hope you have a lovely rest of your day!
aaaahhhh hiii! this ask just put the biggest smile on my face! your fic is so good!!!
i’ve been thinking about secret life gem since the series was released and there was something so incredibly magical about reading a fic that just fits exactly what my thoughts and feelings about her (and pearl) are, it filled me with such joy and whimsy and also the bonus of having to sit silently and process the whole thing for a while because oh my god it’s everything i’ve ever wanted
thank you for popping in my day has been made! (also everyone should go read their fic please and thank you)
#mermaid chats#also hi anon my dms are always open#i would love to ramble about sl gem and gempearl anytime they mean the world to me#i have many thoughts#your fic makes me wanna try my hand at writing them again#so i just might#i want more of those vibes in my life

before i pass out for the night. since my brain is back on dan and phil as if its 2016 or something i need to put this out into the world. this isnt some sort of important life changing post, just a personal funny thing
so when i was 13 and fixating on dan and phil, i read a lot of fanfics. like, i guarantee that even after all these years that, if i had the statistics, that fandom was the one i read the most fanfics for and constantly. i couldnt tell you what nearly any of them were about, and i have a feeling that many of them are probably lost to time by now. i also dont know if i need to mention that yeah, a lot of them were shipping, and yes ive long grown out of that. (the dnp fandom is actually what made me grow out of that)
anyway all this to say that over the last 6 years after i stopped fixating on dan and phil, one fanfic stuck with me and i just. i think about it every once in a while. its been over half a decade. it wasnt a groundbreaking fic, i dont remember any quotes or specifics, just the premise as of at least the first few chapters. idk why it stuck with me
it was literally a fic about. if the world had gotten to a point where almost every child was born as like, a science baby instead of a natural baby, and phil was a science baby, but dan was a natural baby. and there was somehow this like, thing where the science babies would bully the natural babies for some reason idek, and this was a highschool setting and i think dan was a new kid in school. and what gets me about the fic is that dan was some small shy scared kid and phil was some mean jerk bully. and how wild that is compared to how they are in real life
this isnt me trying to find the fic or the person who wrote it or any of that, this is literally just. i remember this fic at least once every few months and i needed to get it out of my brain somewhere
#there are few fics that i remember several years after i read them the first time. this is one of them#depressingly. some of the fics that are on that list are most definitely gone by now#there was one in the vt fandom i still think about 6 years later that i loved. but the person who wrote it hated it :[#the others that are on that list off the top of my head are the hlvrai mermaid fic and the hlvrai alien weed fic#my brain latches onto the most random fics to remember forever lol#my post#dan and phil#<- tagging for blog purposes. not because i want people to see this#if you see this post. good for you i guess ajfjshd#bur seriously if you know the fic/author of what im talking about. i mean itd be neat to find it again. but dont bother them yknow#its also wild how thats like. such a dystopian novel premise. not in a bad way just a neutral way#i love the premises that people come up with for fanfiction. like. ANYTHING can be a fanfic premise and i find that so magical#i had a fanfic premise that was originally meant to be a dnp fanfic that ive long since changed to be an original thing lol#and its... a weird premise lol. at least i think so#anyway since this is the bottom of the tags and no ones going to read this. i gotta say i have so many thoughts on dnp fanfic culture#and my personal relationship with it which i think. my personal relationship with it was heavily influenced by me being like.#transmasc + mlm but not knowing either yet and how wild that is to look back on#its why i love that one meme pic thats like. 'straight girls who fetishize mlm look like this in 5 years' and it shows a pic of jessie#jessie from breaking bad sorry the tag length ran out#but anyway im not gonna make full posts about that. just wanted to mention it somewhere lol

#video#music#rule of rose#tremendously fond memories of both this track and the area it plays in#gregory's house was probably one of my favorite areas#the music and the flashbacks to gregory hanging around#and what it begins to reveal about the relationship between jennifer and wendy#it was also a welcome respite from the previous chapter since i always saved the mermaid for the end#it's such a tough fight that i liked to spend the first two chapters farming as many health items as possible#was it a perfect game that's universally appealing designwise? no.#but it rewired my brain and completely changed how i thought about writing and about compassion#it's one of those formative experiences that i wouldn't have gotten if i'd stuck to just '10/10' games#so it has a fond place in my heart despite how i struggled with the mechanics#Youtube
