The entire last 10 minutes of KinnPorsche ep6 YALL. I was in tears. Them opening up to each other, Kinn apologising for what he did. Porsche being willing to sacrifice his HAND for Kinn. Kinn knowing how to escape the entire time but feeling so happy and free that he wanted to continue being lost with Porsche. Kinn allowing Porsche to leave despite the heartache it obviously brought him. Porsche barely being able to bring himself to leave. Kinn jumping in front of a bullet for Porsche. The mixed look of relief and disappointment on Porsche’s face when the other bodyguards show up. MAN this episode!! Mile and Apo killed it.

Weakened by Eywa Pt. 1
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
Masterlist
Summary: Ao’nung finally realizes that his actions have consequences
Warnings: curse words, bullying, mental breakdown, English isn’t my first language
Author’s note: it my first Avatar writing, so I hope you like it! This idea was spontaneous and I’m not really good at writing, but I hope you’ll enjoy it! I’m still learning how to use Tumblr properly since I don’t really use it 🥲
Yawntutsyip - darling, little loved one
Yaymak - foolish, ignorant
Tumblr media
You thought that all these days when you flew to the water clans were the hardest in you life. Little did you know that life with Metkayina would be harder. You expected to finally live a normal life, doing your chores without being sacred to be shot by sky people. Now you’re safe, but things didn’t get better.
Since your arrival, these boys were bullying all your siblings, including you. You have no idea why it is important for Ao’nung to see totally similar to him Na’vis. You all are same avatars with slight differences that were unavoidable due to the environment you’re supposed to live in. Oh, yeah… supposed to live.
“What are you even doing here?”
“You’re so useless to our tribe”
“Go back to your monkey house”
All these words almost engraved in you mind without leaving space for other thoughts and hope. It’s been two weeks since you arrived and you still haven’t ridden an Ilu successfully, you can’t hold your breath as Metkayinas do. This makes you feel horrible and believe all these mean words.
“C’mon, Y/N, you can do it!”
Neteyam is trying to teach you how to deal with ilu and his voice is so calming, he really believes in you as an older brother. You wish you could just believe him, but insecurity lays too deep and securely in your mind.
“I don’t know… I can’t…”
Your voice was really soft and quiet as you’re the calmest child in your family. You don’t like loud sounds and fast actions. That’s just the way you are. Neytiri says that Sylwanin was just like you.
Despite being slower and more sensitive that other Sullys they loved and protected you with all their heart. Jake knew that Kiri and Tuk are different, they can deal with their problems a lot easier, while you cannot. When something bad to your family or yourself happens, you worry a lot and you won’t tell anyone about your worries unless they make you to. That was the hardest part of you character.
“Hey, are you okay? Do you need to take a break? We can continue tomorrow, don’t worry yawntutsyip.”
Neteyam was worried about your mental state, you were too quiet these days and it never meant anything good. Trying to make you speak about your feelings was completely impossible. You always think that your family has too much to worry about to burden them with your own issues. You want to be like Kiri and Tuk. That’s hilarious, Tuk is way younger than you but she’s able to deal with her emotions way easier than you.
“I’m good. Can we just take a break for like half an hour? I think my brain melts.”
You awkwardly smiled at the end trying to lighten the mood. Neteyam smiled back, feeling relief as you seemed to be just tired. He didn’t want you to hide anything from him and your family.
“Okay, yawntutsyip. I’ll go find Lo’ak and make sure his ass hadn’t get in trouble again. Kiri is on that side of the beach by the way. You can join her, she’s probably flirting with plants again. Let’s meet here in an hour.”
You laughed at his little joke about Kiri. But that’s a fact. Since you arrived here all she’s been doing is examining all local flora and fauna. You missed your time together in the forest, maybe now you’ll have a chance to talk and just be together.
“Okay!”
“Tell me if something goes wrong.”
You knew this look. The big brother look. Sometimes you think how hard it would be for you to live without your family, the way you’re connected to them something really fascinating. And one of your love signs is time. Spending time with your family and each member is the way you show love, the way you feel protected and loved.
You see Kiri laying down in water and looking for something. She didn’t see anyone around, attracted by… water? You didn’t try to understand what’s going on in her mind.
“Hey, pandora geek.”
You stood in front of Kiri and the shadow from your body covered her. Only after that she raised her head and squinted at you.
“I thought you’re with Neteyam. What’s wrong?” She sat on the sand, water was covering her legs a little. You did the same thing, hugging your knees and placing your head on them.
“We took a break, my brain doesn’t work properly. I still can’t ride ilu.”
Hopeless sigh made your sister chuckle, but then she saw your eyes. They were full of sadness, you were not happy. Kiri felt guilt, as your sister she had to be with you, she forgot that Sullys stick together.
“What bothers you?” You were not sure if it’ll be okay to tell her everything. But you family always encourage you to speak what lays in your heart, so you decided to do it.
“There’s a lot… I miss home, I miss flying with you, Neteyam and Lo’ak around Hallelujah mountains.” You were vulnerable now and this is one of those rare moments when you opened your feelings easily. Kiri was the only one you did it with. You could feel tears coming to your eyes, you needed this. “I just miss our way of life. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to get used to it. Especially, when you always hear…”
“Hey monkeys! Still can’t ride ilu? How can you be so yaymak? You’re both freaks!” you could recognize this voice in millions. “One sister has demon blood, another is too dumb to do things that even infants can do!”
Ao’nung and his friends were coming towards you. Kiri’s body immediately tensed, you could feel it.
“What do you want? Is there nothing to do?”
Ao’nung and his friends came closer and you both stood up. Kiri was looking at him angrily, ready to fight. You were supposed to have such a good conversation, opening each other your soul, but this bully spoiled everything.
“My goal for now is to get rid of such fake Na’vis like you two and your stupid little brother.”
You were furious, how dare he talk like this about your family. Yes, he did say mean things to you, but he still picked his words. Now it’s too much. Nobody can talk about your family this way.
“Shut up and don’t get close to me and my siblings!” You tried to get into protective sister mode. Kiri was shocked by the way you raised your voice. She’s never heard such tone from you before.
“Look at this! Little girl knows how to talk?” Ao’nung was teasing you and laughing with Roxto and the rest of his friends. “Maybe you’ll learn how to swim properly soon by the time my future brother or sister will turn 10. Hopefully.”
You clenched your fists, trying to hold all your emotions. Anger, offense, sadness. It felt like a hurricane of extremely high spectrum of emotions, which was hard for you to bear.
“Don’t you dare…”
You didn’t control yourself that you were coming closer and pushing him. The reason why you felt this way was in him.
He did this to you.
You didn’t care that he was taller than you and all you faced was his shoulders. You didn’t care that he barely moved as you tried to hurt him as much as he hurt you. All he did was laughing. It seemed like Ao’nung didn’t understand anything you said, like he didn’t see you breaking into pieces right in front of you.
“Calm down, you little skxawng!” It was a joke for him. For you it was your last piece of composure.
“You’re dumb! So dumb that you can’t even understand how much pain you give me! Every day I wish I don’t meet you so you won’t shower me with all your shit! Every night I cry myself to sleep because all your mean words you’ve said hurt me! And you don’t understand me, how can you be so mean?”
You were screaming at him and trying to hit, mental breakdown took over your senses. You could physically feel how your heart hurts and legs weaken. All sounds were heard as if from under the water, you didn’t see what’s going on around you. Someone’s holding your shoulders and pushing you to their chest to not let you fall on your knees.
“Don’t touch her!”
Furious voice sounded from afar. Neteyam. Your brother who always protects you, surrounds you with love you need. That’s why he calls you yawntutsyip. Little loved one.
You could feel your brother as he came closer to you. His steps were as heavy as his mood. When he saw you breaking down in front of this asshole and because of this asshole, he almost lost his temper. The way chief’s son was holding and looking at you, finally realizing that his actions have consequences. He had to drive you crazy to understand it.
“Back off! Now!”
He pushed Ao’nung as he got closer to him, taking off his hands off you. You didn’t realize it was him, who held you all this time. Was it long? Actually, everything happened in less than 2 minutes, but for you it was like an infinity.
“What happened?”
Lo’ak was here, he saw you crying in Kiri’s hands and Neteyam fighting with Ao’nung and his friends. He didn’t need to check on all details to punch Roxto and other guys.
“It’s fine, we’re here. Don’t worry.” Kiri was sitting with you and slowly swaying, while tapping your head to calm you down.
“I’m sorry, I…” that’s all you could say.
Neither you nor Kiri noticed how the fight stopped until Neteyam came closer and examined you. His eyebrow was cut so as his lower lip, but he didn’t care. Now he could feel only your pain.
“Yawntutsyip… my sister.”
“I’m sorry, Neteyam. I didn’t…” You were gasping for breath from crying, not being able to collect your thoughts.
“Shhh, that’s fine, you’re fine. We’re here, nobody will hurt you again.” Kiri gave you to Neteyam, he was calming you down repeating the same moves as Kiri did. You were crying, letting all pain, that was suppressed inside of your soul, to flow through you.
Your siblings knew that you need to feel it to let it go. That is the only way for relief.
“Let’s go home, yawntutsyip?” Neteyam’s voice was calming as always, he hated seeing you crying.
You just nodded in agreement, hiding your face in brother’s neck and holding him as if someone can take you from him in any moment.
Yes, most Na’vis are brave, ready to fight and protect their beloved ones. But you just can’t do it. You are the one who needs to be protected. Eywa created you that way and you can do nothing about it.
“Don’t ever come to our sisters, you little bitch! Are you so insecure that you’re afraid to battle with me and choose those who are weaker than you?” Lo’ak didn’t miss to say the last goodbye before following after all of you. He didn’t wait for the answer, he didn’t need it.
Ao’nung was standing up there and looking as your figures disappear. No words are in his mind, except for one.
“Fuck”
————————————————————————
I hope you liked it! I’m not sure if I’ll write the second part🫣 I have an idea but idk if it’s worth it, we’ll see!

BROTHERLY LOVE
Tumblr media
needed something fluffy but angsty , cus i feel like all ive been writing is smut recently 🥲 hope you guys enjoy !!
Tumblr media
pairing: vinnie hacker x fem!sister!reader
warnings: cussing, bit of angst, mentions of anxiety / separation anxiety, use of nicknames (bubba, bug, etc), use of y/n, mentions of medication use, overall mainly fluffy sibling love
summary: the bond between you and your older brother is unmatched, attached at the hip, how will you react when he tells you he’s moving out?
Tumblr media
the bond between you and your older brother was unlike most brother/sister relationships. most siblings bicker and fight, but you and vinnie always got along.
sure you had your moments, but at the end of the day, you don’t know what you’d do without him.
vinnie, you, and reggie were inseparable, always hanging out together. your and reggie’s relationship was very different from you and vinnie’s.
maybe it was because the two of you were close in age, only being eighteen months apart. you didn’t know why it was so different, you loved your younger brother endlessly.
the age gap between you and vinnie was two years, so you weren’t sure why you and your older brother didn’t but heads like you and your younger brother did.
◛⑅·˚ ༘ ♡
you woke up to the noise of your brothers shouting across the hallway, right next to your bedroom door. groaning, you kicked off your blankets and opened up the door.
neither of them noticed you were standing in the doorway, the loud argument continued to unfold in front of you.
you didn’t care what they were fighting about, it was probably some video game anyways. it was way too early to be up on a saturday.
“can you two please take your argument somewhere else?” you asked, pressing your palms into your eyes at the feeling of a headache already sprouting. 
both boys rolled their eyes and just walked away from your room. sighing, you walked back into your room to try and get at least a few more hours of sleep.
a few hours later the sun casting its way into your room had woken you up. checking your phone you saw it was a much reasonable hour to be awake other than earlier.
getting up, you had gotten dressed for the day before making your way downstairs to where you saw vinnie in the kitchen.
running up behind him, you jumped up onto his back and hugged him tightly.
“whatcha doin’, bug.” vinnie laughs as he feels the added weight on his body.
stopping what he’s doing, he cranes his head over his shoulder and looks at you as you smile at him.
“what are you doing today?” you ask, completely forgetting about his previous question.
vinnie thinks for a moment before responding. “nothin’ really, why what’s up?”
you untangle yourself from your older brother and land back on your feet, now being inches shorter than him.
“wanna do something with you is all.” you reply with a shrug to your shoulders.
vinnie chuckles as he nods his head, he turns around to finish up what he’s doing before turning his body around and facing you once more.
“how ‘bout this,” he starts, completely forgetting his manners and chewing his food while talking. “lemme finish this, shower and then we’ll get some ice cream and i’ll take you out to the skatepark, yeah?”
smiling wide, you hug your brother tightly before going up to your room to dress more comfortably for skateboarding.
vinnie took you to the skatepark every now and then, mainly when you weren’t busy with college classes.
since it was summer, classes were out and you were able to everything and anything you wanted.
you promised your parents you’d find a job during the summertime. you’ve had no luck yet but knew one would come eventually.
for now, you just hang out with your older brother. being in his streams, hanging out with him and his friends, and going to the skatepark together.
vinnie’s been teaching you how to skate since before you even learned how to ride a bike.
besides joining his streams with him from time to time, skating is your favorite thing to do with him.
you wished you bonded the way you do with vinnie towards reggie, but the two of you could never seem to get along for more than twenty minutes.
you hated how you bonded more with vinnie. you felt like a shitty sister for it. you’ve tried so many times to mend the bridge between you and your younger brother, but nothing seemed to work.
you stopped trying months ago, figuring this is how your relationship is going to be from now on.
◛⑅·˚ ༘ ♡
“one strawberry cone and one chocolate, please.” vinnie ordered as you stood next to him, subtly laughing as he ordered his ice cream.
the cashier took the money and gave change back before telling you both they’d be ready soon.
you and vinnie sat at a picnic table a few feet away, waiting for your ice cream.
“chocolate, really?” you laugh at your brother as he just playfully rolls his eyes at you.
“nothing wrong with chocolate,” he tells you. “what about you? who likes strawberry?” he asks.
you laugh and give him a sarcastic smile while flipping him off. moments later you hear your order being called out and you go to grab both ice cream cones.
once back at the table, you hand vinnie his ice cream. as the two of you start to eat the sweet treat, the topic of schooling comes up.
“how’s college goin’?” your older brother asks you.
you still lived at home while going to college, the whole dorm thing seemed interesting and fun, but you decided not to do it this year.
“good,” you reply before licking the side of the ice cream cone before it got all over your hand. “glad it’s over for now though, needed a break.”
vinnie smiles at you as the two of you continue to eat the ice cream. he’s so proud at how far you’ve come in life.
he remembers the anxious little girl who always clung to his side whenever the two of you went out together.
he was so happy and excited for you when you told him you were planning on going to college in the fall after your highschool graduation. he couldn’t have been more proud.
once the two of you are finished, vinnie grabs some napkins for the both of you to wipe your hands off with.
the two of you start heading back to the car in silence. as you glance at vinnie, you can obviously tell he’s got something on his mind but you don’t push the matter, not knowing if he wants to talk about it or not.
◛⑅·˚ ༘ ♡
“you’re doing a lot better than last time.” vinnie says as he ruffles your hair.
he took you to the skatepark and you couldn’t have been more happy, even if he had said hours ago he’d take you.
it’s been awhile since he had been able to take you, and you were glad you finally got this time together.
the thought of what vinnie is thinking of still hung in the back of your mind, but you tried to push past it and enjoy this time with him.
after awhile the two of you took a break and sat at the top of one of the ramps.
your head was on vinnie’s shoulder as he had his arm wrapped around your back.
“can i tell you somethin’?” the voice of your older brother broke the comfortable silence.
you lifted your head to look at him. “anything.” you said with a smile.
it took him a minute to reply. he wondered how you’d take this news he was about to share.
he knew for sure that you’d be so happy for him, but that it would also break you.
with a deep inhale, he quickly calmed his nerves and just said it out there in the open.
“i’m moving to LA.”
you looked at him wide eyed, not knowing if what he had just said was real. a million things started processing through your head.
vinnie saw your blank expression and pulled you back into him, your head on his shoulder as he rubbed your back.
it was silly, almost like you were overreacting. you couldn’t help it though.
“why.” is all you could say, too focused on trying not to cry over this.
vinnie sighed. “remember how i got into modeling but it never really got anywhere?” he asks.
you glance up at him and nod with a smile. “well,” he starts. “a modeling agency called me and said they’d love to hire me on, i’d just have to live out there.”
the world stopped for you. you’re happy for him, ecstatic even, but you don’t know what you’re gonna do without him.
you felt dumb for letting his life effect you like this. vinnie was his own person with his own life and responsibilities, of course he wasn’t going to be living with you forever.
maybe the fact he’s moving to a different state is what’s hitting you so hard. you didn’t know what for sure, all you knew was you’ll be okay again eventually.
“don’t cry bubba,” vinnie wipes your tear stained cheeks, kissing your forehead softly. “this is good, then you can visit me, and it’ll only be a few hours time difference.”
you smiled at how he was seeing the situation. you’re happy for him, but the separation anxiety you have towards him is what’s keeping you from wanting to say go for it.
“what am i gonna do without you?” you ask.
vinnie sighs, he knows he’s your number one supporter and he’d do anything for you. you just don’t know what you’d do when he’s not here.
“you have your college friends, right?” the blonde asks, you nod. “see, there you go. just found out what you’ll do while i’m gone.” he smiles.
you give him a small smile and his heart breaks. he hates seeing you so upset. he didn’t mean to upset you with this news, he thought you’d be happy for him.
“i’m happy for you, vinnie,” you say after moments of silence. “i’m just so worried how my anxiety will be, you’ve helped me through it the most.”
he nods. “i know, bug,” he hugs you tightly. “you’ve been doin’ good though. that doctor you see prescribed you meds right? you takin’ them?” he asks you.
you nod. “yeah they help. you help better though.” you reply.
vinnie smiles at you before hugging you again. he and you both knew this would be an adjustment for the both of you, but you’ll get through it.
as the sun starts to set, the two of you decide to pack up for the night and go home.
“hey you know what you can do now if someone in the house starts to piss you off?” vinnie asks as the two of you walk to his car.
you smile, already knowing what he’s about to say. “what’s that?” you ask.
“i’ll buy you a ticket out there so you can get away for awhile.” he says with a laugh.
you laugh with him and give him a hug. “i love you vin, thank you for everything you’ve done to help me.”
he smiles at you, expressing so much love for you. he knows you’ll be okay in the end, and he’s always one call away if you need anything.
“i love you more bubba. my number one supporter forever, right?”
you smile widely and nod, he ruffles your hair before the two of you get into the car.
you knew deep down you’d be okay, it just might take some time to get to that point.

Hi Rahu!! 👋 👋
Do you like apocalyptic stories/movies? Like anything with zombies or Death Angels overtaking the earth, and the protagonists have to learn to co-operate.
I’m not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I think that apocalyptic movies, typically classified as horror, has a certain beauty to them. There are certain scenes that are so ethereal, the brief moments amidst chaos when it’s a soothing quiet. There’s no one else, and it’s reminiscent of being the first and only one to wake up early in the morning and watch the sun rise all to yourself. (I think this shows just how introverted I am LOL.) Or with a partner, like maybe Nanami 🥹🥹🥲, but I can’t relate 😂
The second point I wanted to bring up: have you watched Train to Busan? Basically it’s about a fund manager who is a workaholic and also a divorced father as he was often absent from his family. For his daughter’s birthday, she wanted to go see his mother so they take a the train to Busan. However, an infected person boards the train, and the unaffected passengers must isolate the zombies in the separate carts until they reach Busan.
One of the big themes is balancing self-interest and the protection of others. You see this played out in different variations with the different characters. Some don’t mind sacrificing themselves for the sake of the majority, a few selfish people will make reckless decisions that will sacrifice everyone else’s life for their own benefit, and then we have the father. If my faded and wavering memory (💀) serves correctly, he only looked out for his own and his daughter’s safety and disregard the other passengers’. This changes by the end— I don’t want to specify how because no spoilers but imo it’s a very beautiful character growth to witness.
So why do I bring this up? Because, oh. my. gawd, it reminded me soooo much of Salaryman Era!Nanami Kento 😙😙😙
Finance? ✅
6’0+ ✅
Tired workaholic dad? ✅
Oh, side note, it makes sense why Gege said Nanami would only want to get married after he’s done with jujutsu sorcery, so he can pay all his attention to his lovely new family! The male lead’s splintered family from Train to Busan is like a “what would’ve happened” if Nanami chose to have a family while being so busy.
If you are interested in an apocalypse AU (or not, that’s okay too! since this is a bit different from character analysis), I wanted to discuss with you the potential philosophies and decision-makings of salaryman Nanami before he finds his purpose as a protector. When his only goals were money, beach house, and reading (so relatable). I wonder how this past version of Nanami would react and if he would choose to save anyone. Maybe not at first, or maybe he’d be very selective at first? But I could totally see potential character growth and also find someone worth saving (you 😏).
For now, I’ll just leave this conversation as open-ended since I’m unsure if it’s a topic worth pursuing for you. I used to be in to dystopian, but I slowly fell out of love and quickly became infatuated with both apocalyptic media and Nanami Kento. Hope you���re having a great day! 💜💜💜
@courtneedsleep Wow, this is so fascinating! So, to get into it, I love dystopian themes, but have watched my fair share of apocalyptic themes in media too. I know exactly what you mean by the beauty of the quiet juxtaposed with the frenetic energy and near escapes (or not) of the rest of the film.
My personal favourite piece of apocalyptic/dystopian media is 'Oryx and Crake' by Margaret Atwood, a book I can return to many, many times. Some of the most beautiful, haunting scenes are the moments of stillness and stolen beauty, where the main character's memories of the past superimpose themselves over the naked desolation of the present, a world designed for millions now inhabited by a few. So I completely understand what you mean when you say that the brief moments of peace amongst the chaos stand out the most.
I haven't watched Train to Busan, but based on this description, think I'm gonna get back from work and watch it tomorrow evening. A cosy movie night!
The evolution of salaryman Nanami is a fascinating one, because he placed his personal desires first (saving for his comfortable retirement, as you mentioned), but his innate desire to help others draws him inevitably back to sorcery.
So, on this note, I think salaryman Nanami would show a distinct evolution in an apocalyptic setting, particularly if he had a family. His initial instincts would be to protect his child, probably to the point of ruthlessness (and assuming there would be a similar familial set-up to 'Train to Busan'). Nanami's analytic mind and ability to accurately and carefully assess risks and outcomes of situations would probably be invaluable to anyone he comes into contact with.
I feel, to extend on that, that in this setting, he would probably start out just looking out for himself, and possibly his child. Due to his natural, quiet charisma and ability to take charge, he would probably gather a following of people who see him as trustworthy, level-headed and a leader, even if he himself denies any such role. I feel like people would naturally gravitate towards him in this sense, including those with useful skills who need to simply be pointed in the right direction.
Although Nanami would start out strictly looking after his family, I think that in this setting, he would eventually start to see and understand that the isolation of modern living and the rules that apply, all fall away when faced with an apocalyptic situation. He would come to realise that the skills, personalities and unique perspectives of others are things to be valued and relied upon. It would be a slow process, but he'd get there.
Nanami's principles, as strong as ever, would never allow him to use someone for his/his family's convenience. If he was to operate independently, and look out only for himself at the outset, he'd never do so at the expense of someone else. His thoughts would be more along the line of: "I will save my family. Everyone else can do whatever they want." And it's this mindset that would gradually change the more he is exposed to some core group of reliable companions who may even rescue him from a tight situation on more than one occasion.
His gradual acknowledgement of the involvement others have in his life and survival could open the door a crack for maybe some romance 😉 Or at least, hints of it. This gradual opening up would also have implications for his personal growth and development. That rare beauty you spoke of in apocalyptic media, the moment of serenity and otherworldly calm amidst the devastation, is something that could open his eyes to the importance of humanity's preservation, for future generations (like his child).
While this may not lead to the exact evolution of Sorcerer Nanami, who we know and love so well, it would certainly drive him to become something very close. The theme of self-interest versus selfishness is a really interesting one, because Nanami's canon 'selfishness' always rang a little hollow for me. He worked so hard for those things (books, comfort, an early retirement), but all it took was one person (bakery girl) showing him how killing curses helps people, to turn him back to his selfless (and self-sacrificing) job of being a sorcerer. At heart, Nanami could never have put himself first. Not to say that he didn't genuinely want those personal goals, he just put them aside so quickly for a higher cause, because that's just who he is.
Apocalyptic Salaryman Nanami would probably have the same epiphany, arriving in a different vehicle. Some trigger would help him understand the value of self-sacrifice/sacrifice in general for a greater good; ensuring the safety of not just his child/loved one, but everyone who can be saved. He'd adopt the role of guardian, but in a symbolic sense too, safeguarding the future that belongs to his child and all like them. Where that would lead his character ... who knows? 🤭
It would be fun to speculate!
Thank you for another lovely and fascinating idea to discuss. 🧡🧡🧡

greetings and salutations, hope I don’t bother you too much by sending in such a random ask. may I please have a romantic matchup for spiderverse? now that Deadpool and Wolverine is out the marvel hyperfixation came back full swing and is quite literally kicking me in the ass rn. 🥲
I use they/them pronouns and I’m pansexual. my myers briggs type is INFJ and my star sign is taurus.
Im about 4’11..not to happy about it. I’m kind of introverted, and can be considered not a people person. I find life a little nihilistic. I’m into dressing in all black (trad, mopey, mall, black-metal, and hippie goth styles mainly, both fem and masc. chill days I settle for dark street wear. ) or and taking a liking to gruesome and morbid things like slashers, analog horror, witchcraft, true crime, ghost hunting, necromancy, anatomy, etc. I typically consider myself a "gorehound" ig. I participate in "Vulture Culture"; and I also like to visit abandoned places just for fun, along with playing quite a few escape rooms. I’ve also been trying to start a knife collection, but can’t ever seem to find the money to. (Butterfly knives and ritual daggers are my favorites.). I just have a genuine comfort in the uncomfortable.
I’ve come to the conclusion I just scare people off. In reality, I’m intimidated by everyone around me and find it hard to start talking, which may or may not come off as rude to people.
when I become comfortable with someone I start to become really sarcastic and joke around with them with witty banter. most of my humor comes off really insulting, and I’m brutally honest, but I’ll apologize and say it’s a joke or I didn’t mean it. though if I’m right a become a petty bitch..and quite honestly I’m vengeful to anyone who’s really wronged me. even though I do have a hard time understanding social cues.
lots of people don’t like me or stay away from me because of my rude behavior. I’m not good with overly sensitive or overly annoying people at all because of that, and I can’t stand kids or conformists. Idiocy can get on my nerves too sometimes. I’m a huge animal person though, and I own a herd of four guinea pigs that I protect with my life. I have my moments where I can get really feisty, or very quiet and closed off. I’ve been told I’m also a laidback person. I’ve also been told I never know when to quit, and I find I hold grudges for certain things. It’s not as common now but I used to get called a vampire by other kids when I was younger since I had oddly pointy canine teeth. I find it funny, seeing how I am today. I also have an inside joke with my family where they call me "Irl Wednesday Addams" which I find funny too (if not a little annoying at the wrong times).
I’m the type of person that has lots of opinions on things but I keep them to myself and bottle them up. If pushed far enough I’ll become unforgiving, and aggressive. especially with the types of people mentioned above.
I find the most comfort in just being in my room drawing, listening to music ( the cure, london after midnight, type o negative, deftones, slipknot, rob zombie,,,, sometimes melanie martinez , insane clown posse, jazmin bean or mother mother, etc. ), or even occasionally playing video games, reading, writing, or talking about a random conspiracy theory or shower thoughts I have. I also like to play D&D with my friends when I can, it’s super fun. I’m an actor and dancer, and I’m learning how to play electric guitar. I mostly work as a scare actor, and in the future I have a dream of being a broadway actor. I also take dance and singing classes for it, though dance isn’t as interesting to me.
I’m a plushie maniac and when I fall asleep you can always see me cuddled up to one of them. I find it because I’m really touch starved. I also have this specific blanket I can literally not sleep without. Im also a caffeine addict (97% of my body is just iced coffee tbh), and I’m guilty of being very submissive and maybe even masochistic- and a bit of a pyromaniac. I dissociate or daydream a lot, so you can often catch me starring.
I suffer from a handful off mental issues like asd, hypersomnia, depression and anxiety; plus chronic conditions like gerd, asthma and hypoglycemia. These have all been diagnosed professionally, and I’m definitely not trying to make myself "quirky". unfortunately health problems run in my family.
I’m very fidgety, and often bite the inside of my cheek or bounce my leg rapidly. you don’t need to rocmantasize this stuff ofc, but I think it’s good to know so the person can tolerate me.
I also have a spider sona! They go by Tarantula. They have normal Spider powers n stuff, but their big knock is their venom. When they experience high emotions (rage, grief, fear, etc) they are unable to control their venom, and end up going into what they call a “rage mode” it’s similar to Miguel’s thing in a way, but far more animalistic, dangerous, and unpredictable. Luckily it shouldn’t happen to often if they keep their emotions in check! (Let’s hope). So- whoever wants to deal with me would have to deal with that too in this universe lol.
If you do get to this, thanks for your time. <3

She’d be the kind of partner you can rely on, someone who wouldn’t judge you for your quirks or struggles, but rather admire you for your resilience and strength

Dev Log #28
*winks* hey y’all...guess who flippin over did it AGAIN??
Tumblr media
when will I learn...when will I learn that my actions have consequences?
Writing/drafting this after spending most of my day in bed. Real life promptly kicked my ass and I stupidly decided to fight back 🥲 Violently. And I won but at what cost??? Lol, you want to know how sorry I am?? I decided to move my bookshelf today from one wall to the other (after waking up and feeling like I’d been fallen down a flight of stairs) and was out for the count!!! Thinking even hurts a bit I won’t lie...
I talked a good game about my release plans for the rest of the year and now I’m crying from fatigue. I don’t know when the extended content will get released. I’m extremely sorry and honestly extremely frustrated so it’s a fun cocktail...
That aside, let’s focus on the positives. It’s been such a treat reading the reviews from players (and 100% humbling to have people comment on the lingering typos not derailing from their enjoyment of the game...😂 honestly, if people are cool enough to tell me shit is misspelled, awesome. I’ve already added your note to my running list of things to fix the next time I update the files. There’s even a fun bug someone discovered that I have to squash!!! 🎉)
It’s also been super cool to see players who are vocal about their love for Lydia’s route. I didn’t see it coming! I knew that in this narrative gaming space with the genre I wrote in, the girls would most likely be sidelined and I made peace with that way back when. But the story I wanted to tell didn’t work with just Langston and Ryan...or more that it felt incomplete somehow? So I crossed my fingers that I’d find my footing along the way. 
On top of that, the amount of players saying that they get cozy vibes from HSDJY?!?!!?!? Cozy games are G.O.A. T, argue with ya moms
THIS IS THE BEST CREATIVE FEEDBACK I’VE EVER GOTTEN ON ANYTHING AND I WILL HAVE A BIG EGO OVER THIS FOREVER!
I’ll do a proper postmortem in a month (...maybe 2) where I’ll objectively look at the past few years working on HSDJY and note what I can improve on for the future. I want to be critical, not just with gameplay and the lack of accessibility options (hoping to get help with that sometime in the near future) but also where the writing and story is concerned. It’s still a bit too soon to start tearing things apart 😂 also writing this dev log is already pushing the envelope LOL!
Anyway. If I’m repeating myself, I don’t care. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank to everyone who read these things, who interacts with this blog (or itch.io or Twitter or TikTok). Thank you for being excited for the game, for playing it and leaving reviews. I want to continue making games and while I’m not pursing the AAA studio dreams I had before, I think this is a much better deal. 
- Gemini 💛

*queued post. 
Tumblr media
The two of you ace the paper, naturally.
Even when your professor told you that points would be docked for having to redo the paper.
‘I just can’t do that to my best student,’ she’d said - eyes glancing fondly at Seokmin as he sheepishly smiled back. ‘And it was a great paper. The two of you worked together fantastically!’
Seokmin could only blush when he got you alone after class; delicate fingertips nervously itching a spot on his cheek while you stood across from him picking at a loose thread on your sweater.
You nervously smiled back - only for a different reason than himself.
‘I’ll have to repay you somehow, it’s only fair! You did most of the work because of me!,’ he exclaimed, ‘How about we get dinner sometime? On me, of course!’
Visions of his sweet face smirking at you with lust pooling in his eyes are all you can see when you blink - but you agree, head nodding shakily as he’d laughed and readjusted his book-bag.
‘I’ll text you sometime soon then, so we can find a good time for the both of us? I have some things to deal with so it might not be for a while... But I’ll remember!’
‘Sounds good!’
And Seokmin can tell something’s off about you; ‘maybe she’s just tired today’, he thinks to himself, nodding when you smile shyly and start to make a move to leave before him.
‘I’ll see you later, okay, Seokmin? I gotta go... Uh, class and stuff, y’know?’
And you do see him later. Kind of.
‘Hey everyone, welcome back to my stream! If I’m being honest, I’ve been kind of wondering lately… Which pet names do you guys like me using? Let me know in the comments! I could use some feedback and ideas!’
Tumblr media
Seokmin streams three times in one week - half because he really needs the cash and the other half because he’s been feeling somewhat on edge lately himself.
His workload for classes aren’t letting up, Jihoon’s only getting stricter with his lessons and the university’s production of Xcalibur is coming up and he’s crossing his fingers for the lead.
But in the midst of it all, he spends any free time trying to come up with ideas for live streams and the constant talking about sex whilst not even bothering to get off himself finally gets to him late one night when he’s tucked alone in bed with his thoughts.
‘Maybe I should go to one of Soonyoung’s parties next time and let off some steam… That might help...’ He tells himself; even if he’s generally not fond of them at all.
‘And then I could--’
“Oh! Mingyu! Mmh, fuck, your cock is so biiiiiiig~!”
Seokmin’s teeth grit in an instant - eyes darting to the wall that he shared with his next door neighbour. It wouldn’t be the first time, but at some point Seokmin had learned to tune it out - until just now when he couldn’t.
“Yeah? You like that? Fuck, your pussy is so fuckin’ tight around me, baby… I can’t even fit all of my cock inside…”
‘Not again…’ Flashbacks of almost walking into Jeonghan that one time making him groan.
Except this time, Seokmin chooses to indulge.
Because while he was smart enough to soundproof his room whenever he streamed - that didn’t mean his neighbours always did. 
‘Well, as long as Mingyu doesn’t find out...’ Grumbling, Seokmin turns onto his side facing away from the wall - hand palming himself over his sweats as he bites into his bottom lip.
‘Just a little bit… Just let me cum once and I’ll go to bed, I swear…’
Tumblr media
And you’re not necessarily proud of it.
“Oh, god, p-please, harder! Need you to--to fuck me so, a-ah, so much harder!”
But the way Mingyu’s bed slams against the wall when he starts to thrust into you harder makes your eyes roll to the back of your head and forget that Seokmin lives just in the apartment next door and can probably hear the two of you, clear as day.
‘It’s not like he knows it’s me anyway...’
“Surprised you finally came around, baby~ Mm, what made you want me, hmm?” A cocky grin eases itself onto Mingyu’s lips as you fight the urge to roll your eyes.
“Nothin’ just… Heard from a friend of a friend that you were good in bed and wanted to see for myself~” You retort; nails digging into the skin of his back as he winces.
“And? Living up to your expectations, princess?” 
“Ngh, right n-now you’re at a--a 7 so...”
The smirk on Mingyu’s face slides clean off as he growls; nails digging into your skin as you moan. 
“Let’s see about that then, princess.”
Tumblr media
Seokmin’s hand is slicked with precum and the metallic taste in his mouth from biting down on his lip hard enough to draw blood make his head feel fuzzy. 
“Ah, f-fuck, right there! Fuck me harder there! Mmnh, feels so good when you p-pull on my hair~! I want it rough, p-please!”
“Fuck, your desperate ‘lil cunt is squeezing my cock so tight... You’re such a filthy ‘lil thing, aren’t you, baby? So fucking desperate for cock~ I’m gonna make you get on your knees and clean off my cock after I’m done fucking your pretty ‘lil cunt, okay?”
“Y-yes!”
Seokmin’s hand slides up and down his shaft - hips thrusting into his enclosed palm as he hides underneath his bedsheets, writhing with the urge to cum. 
‘Fuck, I’m so c-close... Just need to cum so bad...’ 
He can already imagine the position Mingyu’s in with the stranger - Mingyu fucking them from behind with his hands tangled in their hair as he pulls them towards his own body. 
And Seokmin’s mind races at the suggestions people had given him about the things they liked too - all of them suddenly making his mouth water at the thought of having someone pliant underneath him. 
‘I just want a daddy to put me in my place...’
‘I want to be blindfolded and be forced to cum over and over until I can’t take it...’
‘I want you to fuck me and use toys on me all night...’
‘I want you to choke me while you fuck my pussy hard...’
‘I wanna hear you praise me while you make a mess of me...’
A stuttered gasp falls from Seokmin’s lips as he tightens his grip around his cock - hand moving up and down his shaft twice as fast as he tries to race the stranger on the other side of the wall to an orgasm. 
“Mingyu, m-make me cum! I’m s-so close... My pussy feels so, mmh, f-fuckin’ full... B-but don’t cu--cum inside of, a-ah, me...” 
“Tsk, fine... I’m just gonna have to cum on that pretty face of yours then, okay, baby?” 
Seokmin’s mouth hangs agape as his wrist snaps faster; his head almost thrashing against his pillow as his toes curl and his entire body goes rigid when he tips over the edge and into an orgasm. 
‘Fucking finally...!’ He exclaims mentally - cum painting his hand and catching on his sweats and boxer briefs as he lets out a satisfied sigh while he rides out his high alone in his bed.
‘God, I need... Help.’
Tumblr media
You don’t stay the night; not that you ever do when you have a hookup. 
Instead, you head home and take a long shower - massaging your scalp from where Mingyu tugged on your hair a little too hard and you take your time scrubbing away all the dried cum off of your skin. 
You weren’t necessarily crazy about hookups, but lately, you’d felt too on the edge to take care of it alone and listening to Dokyeom’s live streams had only made it harder for you to focus when you were too busy thinking about him and his voice all day.
‘God, the toys are only going to do so much... I really need to figure this out...’ You mentally sigh, ‘Should I stop listening to his stream? Maybe that would help...’
But the thought alone makes you a little sad - especially when it seemed like he was starting to stream more recently and was starting to find confidence in himself to do it.
‘Nah, I’ll just... Figure something out later. When I have more time.’
Tumblr media
One New Message
1:54AM
From: Suggested: Lee Seokmin
‘Sorry for the late message, I couldn’t sleep 😅 But I’m free on Friday night if you wanted to get dinner still? I had plans but I think I’m gonna cancel them cuz I’m a little burnt out on creativity for my projects so... Yeah, just let me know! 😅 I know a great place in town! - Seokmin’

OOOOH HYPAA!!! I recently got into data science too! What course are you taking? Is it driving you insane as well?
Ahaha…
Tumblr media
Aiight so boom; as I think I mentioned here briefly before, I got fired from my casino job at the beginning of the pandemic (which is an entire story in and of itself, but I digress). Being jobless sucked because no having income sucked, but I had a lot of free time that I used to finish my novel and dip my toes back into game dev.
Well, despite my husband holding things down as best he can, living off of one income is not sustainable. So, after a year or so of being on unintended sabbatical, I had to start thinking about what I wanted to do for a real job again.
I quickly discovered I had no desire to go back into the casino business. I don’t even believe in gambling like that (don’t @ me over my gacha addiction!!) and I only found myself in it because that’s the primary industry here in Vegas. But that’s also all I did for 7 years straight, so pivoting to a new career would prove very difficult.
My bff sent me a link to a bootcamp that their cousin did and is apparently now earning 6 figures at a remote job. I was like, “oh, word?? 👀” because money + remote is sounding good to me! So I went to sign up for it and they gave me an assessment test. Full of nothing but math, Excel formulas, and business logic.
Tumblr media
Chile.
I quickly found out how dumb I was LMAO! They told me to calculate stuff, my brain shut down because I do not math. Asking me about aggregated P&L statements like I know what any of that means? Newp. So by the end of that, I was convinced that they’d figure out I can’t count and wrote it off as a bust.
Until months later and they emailed me saying I was accepted. Into a program with a 7% admission rate.
Tumblr media
I thought they were joking, honestly. Because I don’t know what I’m doing. But I figured if the universe is determined to lay this in my lap, it’s gotta be for a reason. So I accepted the invite and got started learning something called Anaplan, which is data modeling software used to organize business data for companies.
So, that’s what I’m in now. To not have this post go longer than it already is, just say that I’ve lost much of my life and sleep to this, lol! In fact, I should be sleep now, but doing this has unfortunately given me insomnia. I’ve wanted to quit multiple times and yet my own pride and stubborn nature refuses to allow me to quit… yet. Maybe to someone with an analytics background will think this is cake, but I am (officially) a published fantasy author!!! I LEARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO AVOID MATH AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE! This is so far beyond my scope I mutter every day why I was accepted because I do not understand.
But… as I like to say too often now… we outchea anyway. 🥲 Pray for me, and I’ll pray for you.

ok so I’m not caught up on ‘between who you are and who you could be’ yet but this story has me in a chokehold. it is SO good. I haven’t been this affected by a fic in years, and every time I read it I get so inspired to do better at writing my own twilight fanfic because you do it so effortlessly.
you absolutely don’t have to answer this at all, but do you have any general writings tips for twilight fanfic writers, especially fics with characters who aren’t given much in canon like leah?
you don’t have to answer this ask at all. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Anon 🥺🥺 I have been writing a Blackwater breakup chapter all evening, and I am drained, but this is what finally set me off. I have never had one of these before 😭
(I wrote this all and then realised it was really long, so hold on. I’ll collapse it.)
Leah and Leland/Lee are my favourite to write, and I think if you really love something that much (prepare for the slight cliche) then that comes across on the page. It shouldn’t be a slog to write! I also read and review a lot, and that definitely encourages people to check out your profile. And like you said, reading definitely gives me inspiration and makes me think about my own fics.
You are really kind and I’m a bit overwhelmed, can you tell?? 🥲🥲
The Blackwater ‘ship is bigger than I knew. Most notably (on FFn, at least) you’ll find sentinel10, Austwigirl, Jacobleah, Aunt Bran, Silverfires, CatTheWall, Babaksmiles, InesSL, PastOneonta, scifiromance, who are *huge* Leah stans (and writers) and will always leave a review. I will die happily if you’re in that list.
There is also hyacinthed on AO3/FFn (definitely check them out for Leah/Jacob and Leah/Quil) who is out of this world and recently gave me some technical tips for posting new chapters, which has definitely boosted my audience in the last day alone. Don’t mind the copy and paste:
-ppl tend to be more loyal to fics with a predicted total chapter count (something definite rather than ?), even if u update the estimated count during the fic
-there's particular times to post if you wanna be popular but who cares idk google that if u care
-on the top ribbon, click browse > collections, and you can search for collections of fics that come under a certain theme. posting to a collection can help u get more traffic, or you can make your own
-browse > collections > filters > prompt meme challenge allows u to check out collections of prompts that you can then write a fic about and link it to the group, really helps w traffic and inspo
I’ve also noticed from posting a few ‘M’ fics recently that they draw in a waaaaaay different audience. Also, because you have to specifically set that filter to see the fics, they don’t get nearly as many hits as Between Who You Are and The Garage, for example, which is rated ‘T’. But you probably already know this stuff. I’m a bit of a twat and have only recently learned. What do I know, I just live in my own world and post.
I mean, that’s only scratching the surface?!?! I will talk Leah/Leland/Jacob/Julie all day with you if given the chance. (I am riveriver#0001 on Discord 👀)
I hope that answers at least some of what you were asking.
Maybe try being a panster?? It’s a wild ride. I started BWYA with knowing what I wanted to happen and how I wanted it to end, and not much else. And now we’re 140K+ into it and barely halfway through the main plot points of Eclipse 😳🤯
Seriously, though. You’re the best and turned around my whole day.
