song ask meme!!! tagged by @hybridcitrus, thank you for the tag!!!!! >:3c i do so love inflicting my music taste on others :3c

Shuffle your on repeat playlist and list the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people

God's Plan - Mother Mother y'all, the new mother mother album FUCKS HARD. i missed their old sound so much and it's back with this album!!!

The Glow (feat. Kimbra) - Big Data great song to blast in the car while you're driving to feel cool and also if you love heavy bass which i do :3

Kill All Your Friends - My Chemical Romance i actually only discovered this song like, recently??? by recently i mean like in the last two years, but considering i first listened to the Black Parade album like........ 10-12 years ago??? cannot believe. anyways this song gives me oc brainworms (shaoyuan my beloathed) for some fucking reason.

Astral Travel - Kikuo & Hatsune Miku i've been listening to Kikuo's stuff for a while but somehow i didn't notice that they dropped a new album?? honestly that's how it goes most of the time for me, it's always a fun surprise

Whisper - The Dear Hunter i'm kinda surprised it took 4 other songs before i hit a TDH one tbh but yeah this one!!! the migrant album was the album that got me into TDH, actually, and it's in my top 3 albums i think??? this song is especially fun to scream-sing loudly when you're feeling emotions. what emotions, you may ask? who knows! just as long as there's lots of it! just look at the lyrics cmon. also not to sing casey crescenzo's praises to the sun and back but, this man's voice. when you hit the chorus, man oh man. i love it.

The Carousel - Best Frenz & Joywave JOYWAVE joywave my beloved!!!!!!!!!! joywave's another band that i completely failed to follow along with and then suddenly i re-found some of their music, went "this is so good please tell me there's more" and then found all their albums??? and then there were NEW ALBUMS??? this is one of the tracks from one of them. this ALSO gives me tremendous oc brainworms (shaoyuan my beloathed again)

The Moments in Between - The Reign of Kindo if you like TDH, you'll probably also like the Reign of Kindo, because that's how i found them lmao. completely unrelated, if i have enough brainworms about an oc, i inevitably end up associating them with a band/multiple bands, and this band i strongly associated with tora. not even sure why!!

Burning Pile - Mother Mother wow, what a blast from the past. i used to listen to this as a sad depressed teenager!! and now i am a sad depressed adult, and i have different music i listen to, but this one still hits the same. damn. i'm such a sucker for a song that sounds happy and then you listen to the words and you're like fuck.

Ring 1 - Tower - The Dear Hunter ANTIMAI MY BELOVED. i cannot, for the life of me, decide which my absolute favourite song from the album is, because i love them all. but this one is definitely one of the top top faves. when the music slows down around the 2 minute mark?????? and the narrator in the song gets all smugly menacing?????????? and the instrumentals get all chill????????????? i simply die

Sword of Drossel - OSTER Project i think i found this track when i was in my late teens?? and then i forgot about it for a while, and then relatively recently (in the last 2 years) i had a sudden vocaloid nostalgia kick, and then i actually found this one on my streaming service and i was like oh shit???

man this was really fun!!!!! thank you again for the tag :D

i shall tag... @fangirling-phoenix @exilley @saiyanblood2 @bumble-b-goode @aboxthecolourofheartache @strawberry-hyacinth @mintchocolateleaves @artemisrockatansky @simplyaskeleton @skadren and anyone else who wants to do it!!!

Ho ho ho! How are you, hope your week has been treating you well?

I can see that you like KaiAo the most, and that you like fluff and romance! They’re nice! But I’m sorry, I currently have a bit of a writer’s block, and I need some inspirationnnn! 😭 There are so many good KaiAo fanfics/fanarts out there that I’m having a bit of trouble of thinking up some good/decent original creations 😭.

Do you have any favourite DC/MK fanfics? ✨😇

— Secret Santa

Hellooo! How have you been! I hope everything is good✨

Waaa thats a super difficult question!! Haha I love almost everything that you could find in AO3 but I do come back to certain stories

tagged by @katachresis in a music meme to share 6 songs I have been listening to >:3c my music consumption is usually done one album at a time aka hyperfixating on one album/artist for 3 months straight, so I will try to keep repetitions to a minimum XD I’ll add two songs from the latest album/artist I currently have on rotation but that’s it 

Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil

The Abduction - Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812

Brividi - Mahmood & Blanco

Battle Cries - The Amazing Devil

Backstage Romance - Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Fai Rumore - Diodato

I’ll be tagging @mintchocolateleaves and @thatnerdposts (no pressure to do it! just vibes)... and also make this @digitalcactusblog‘s official permission to offer more The Dear Hunter songs to the masses, if they feel like their first list wasn’t enough 😘

@mintchocolateleaves <3

Do u ever read a friend’s fic and it’s like holy shit how do you consider me qualified to talk to you?

[ao2fics]

5 & 6 for the ask game

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

hm. that’s kind of a tough one. i think i’ll say this one for mcyt, which is funny in theory but execution… idk. it’s a twist on the solidaritek fic i did a while back.

feat. my partner in crime @bibliobasilisk who encourages all my terrible ideas.

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

several—in many different fandoms. i actually download them off ao3 and ffn to take with me on my ereader! lemme list a couple from a few of my main fandoms.

fullmetal alchemist — i’ve got nearly 100 fma fics on my kobo. uh. safe to say i’ll read and reread anything by tierfal or batsutousai.

one piece — aural pleasure by unda has my entire fucking heart and i was absolutely devastated to find it deleted but thank fuck i had it saved.

homestuck — anything by callmearcturus is worth reading but my favorite is this one with a shoutout to this one for the dave&jake&aradia friendship. and i would be remiss if i didn’t rec this beautiful fic my friend @mintchocolateleaves wrote for me when i wasn’t feeling well.

mcyt — and since i’m sure this is the fandom you rly want to know about i’m include some specifics. it’s a mix of scarian and solidaritek for the most part.

literally anything by illuminamint. you could never know. we’re here together. we are the foxes. some kind of trouble is coming. are we dancing after death, you and i. crushes and confessions. i don’t think i could stand to be where you don’t see me. one word from you and i would jump off of this ledge i’m on. set you sailing from my harbor. worlds apart (but never too far).

there’s another fic i have saved that was deleted at some point, coffee for dinner by belligerentren. and also trust life by capritarius which is v long at 278k and not on my ereader yet bc it’s still unfinished but so, so worth it.

[digitalcactusblog]

nine people i'd like to get to know better tagged by @skadren

last song: The Carousel by Best Frenz + Joywave favorite color: red currently watching: hmmm, i don't think i'm currently actively watching anything... i watched ep 1 of blue eyes samurai on youtube and then kinda wanted to watch the rest? but that was several weeks ago. last movie/show: watched creation of the gods with my mother last night! it was alright, i guess spicy, savory, or sweet: savory last thing you googled: i had to google creation of the gods' chinese name because i didn't know the english one lmao

thank you for the tag!! i will tag... @raindroplette @fangirling-phoenix @mintchocolateleaves @hybridcitrus @saiyanblood2 @simplyaskeleton @artemisrockatansky @bumble-b-goode @aboxthecolourofheartache

no pressure though! this is for fun :D

[bakathief]

Can I ask you a question regarding the black feather au drawing? What are the holes in the walls for?

For mail 💌 (mostly)

[mirrorfalls]

@mintchocolateleaves

finally got a working tablet again!!! :D

anyways, back from my several-month-long nap (which will not be addressed further) with a lil fog canyon warmup. now with more scribbles! perhaps too many. entirely too many, in fact. anyways, hopefully the quality does not get obliterated (it will) :')

[brotato-chibs]

READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT

A lil collab AU (now its just called WcDonald’s worker!Kaito AU)  with @mintchocolateleaves but it’s more like us cackling as we kept adding on to it and I just had to draw some of them! 

It’s all about Kaito working part-time(?) to pay for his heist funds.

[qteapie-em]

Hey @mintchocolateleaves! I was your secret santa this year!! Here’s some fluffy holiday ShinRan, because even though crime never sleeps, Ran is always there to support Shinichi, no matter what! Thank you for your patience, and I hope you like it!  Also, huge shout-out to @dcmksecretsanta and @heiji-hattori for running an amazing event this year! 

[mezzato]

mintchocolateleaves replied to your post “DCMK Emogust - 5.8 Heartbreak”

Ohhhh ouch this hurts so much! But it's amazing, like I love how cute these two are together? Hakuba moving away is definitely heart breaking, especially if Kaito wasn't expecting him to go. AMAZING! I love it!!

aaaaa thank you so much ;;-;; I love HakuKai so much cause it’s nice to explore their relationship. It’s just sad we don’t see more canon interactions with them both.

@mintchocolateleaves

The only known copy of the Hussie “First Folio” of c. 1625 exists in fragments in the Bodelian Library (MS. Eng. misc. c. 413). No publishing details are available, provenance is unknown.  

Prologue:

The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, Limns a youth upon which no name did weigh These thirteen springs. That burden will be one He will take up this morn, and so in this This gentle youth becomes a gentleman, By taking on the name that’s rightfully his - A token that betokes a divine plan. Where others, who did Fate give name at birth Can have no say in what their fortune tells (Whether lives of misery or of mirth), This youth may choose his Heavens, or his Hells. He stands now at the door of childhood’s room, Now Let him learn his name, and learn his doom.  

Act 1, scene 1

   Voice: Enter name.

   Boy: Letters are appearing! As if drawn by Some fiery hand - and now I ken they spell The name “Zoosmell, Lord of Dung”? Fie on this, Fie! A shallow jest - better be the names Of rustics than nobility besmirched.

   Voice: Try again.

   Boy: More words appear, these pleasing to the eye - I’ll be “John Egbert”, a name for saints and Kings, I trow. Now to take up arms and go, But where among these cakes and bills for rude Entertainments could they be? In this drawer?

Looks in drawer

   Boy: No arms. Damn my addled mind: they rest Beneath the cake inside yon magic chest.

   Voice: Remove CAKE from MAGIC CHEST

Boy retrieves arms

   Boy: No antics or hilarity for now, I must needs store these in my Sylladex. What else lies here? Some Gyves that feign to lock, A Blade that cannot wound, a Hat, a Mask, Tricks to mimic smoke or blood, a Treatise On japes, a Volume on the life of a Man of wisdom who traffick’d in dark arts. All this I fain would take ‘gainst future need, For now mayhaps this smoke will show it’s meed.

Takes smoke pastilles

   Boy: Alas! my arms I now can’t bring to hand! This Sylladex is like unto the sack That peddlers use to cart about their wares – And all that they have pack’d must be unlade ‘Ere that which they pack’d first will come to light. No matter now: anon I’ll set it right.

Examines bill

   Boy: No spirits be as facinerious As these. Though fell be their actions and their Passions run to black, these hell-kites’ exploits Enthrall me and I can’t abjure their charms. How now, a note? My father left this here, A birthday gift to mark my thirteenth year.

mintchocolateleaves replied to your post “Hey, I’ve only been in the DCMK fandom for like, two months, so if...”

Hello there!!! Just personal recommendations, everything by @presumenothing and @angelicsentinel! Also, anything by Discordiansamba and KawaiiBeyotch on Ao3 is amazing! (I can rec specific fics if you want them from other people too, just let me know!) xx

Thank you! I shall definitely check those out. If you have any specifics fics you want to recommend, I’d be interested in those too. The best part of getting recs from people in that I’m likely to find stuff I might not have otherwise, so anything you want to send my way, please feel free~

[presumenothing]

For the picking a fic scene and you giving the dvd conversation on how it was to write. How about the first chapter of your fic Equilibrium, with Kaito and Ai's interaction? Sending much love to you my dude! x :3

(dvd commentary meme)

[fic in question aka i should probably name things more... distinguishably... but what even are titles amirite]

question one: is that a cooking/reality show joke in the chapter title. why yes it is

(ok i don’t actually know how to do this but more nonsense Under The Cut)

Shiho muffles a curse when three dozen Kid plushies fall out of the utensils cupboard, tumbling to the floor in an avalanche of felt capes and plastic monocles.

listen, if you tell me that kid plushies (not of the voodoo variety, thanks akako) don’t exist as a thriving market in-universe (complete w/ tinny recorded “ladies and gentlemen!!1!” voices) i’m just not buying it

(what were they doing in the utensils cupboard? i have no idea. kaito needed somewhere to hide them probably)

Her unfortunate (on her part) roommate

kaito, offscreen: OI WHO ARE YOU CALLING UNFORTUNATE MIYANO-SAMA

(also nobody does passive-aggressive like shiho? but i’d still move in with her anytime so)

At any rate, the magician definitely isn’t a morning person, unless one includes the hours of midnight to 3am. It’s an entertaining sight, frankly speaking.

ok so this is 100% me projecting my own tendencies (sorry, kuroba) but also lbr, kaito literally would not be able to pull off the entire kid shtick if he wasn’t already a night person to begin with

“Do you happen to see any question marks after that instruction?”

Kuroba gives a considering hum as he wanders over to the fridge for an onigiri. “Isn’t the question mark sort of… I dunno, implied? I always assume it is with this sort of thing, that’s worked out fine so far.”

confession: i snickered a lot (a LOT) while writing this part, because i’m hilarious like that

also, i feel like neither of these two would cook much?? at least not on a regular basis?? even though they’re both probably somewhat competent at it, having lived fairly independently and all

(honestly, if they all ended up at the same uni somehow i could definitely see ran and kazuha like...... cooking big portions on the weekends and distributing it around – they get to try more recipes and everyone gets their fridges filled, win-win)

Not for the first time, Shiho seriously wonders if she should’ve accepted the offer to move in with Kudo and the rest, even though the science faculty is across campus from their apartment near the law school. That’d probably have entailed corralling case files and discussions of murder instead of glitter bombs and doves – and she wouldn’t rule out the possibility of actual corpses, not with Hattori around – but she’s at least 80% certain the detectives would keep it out of the kitchen if she asked them to.

i figure shiho is still in some kind of biomed field (or possibly forensics? idk), shinichi and co. are studying criminal justice, while..... well, no one really knows what kaito’s doing?? not even he really knows sometimes tbh – ostensibly he’s an engineering major with a minor in chemistry, but in practice he’s just ridiculous as usual.

meanwhile, in the detectives’ lair: lots of Murder Things and case notes pinned up on the walls, although heiji’s is kind of a Hot Mess™ to everyone but him (shinichi can actually follow the reasoning if he tries, but they just tend to organise things rather differently to start with)

(also yes there was probably an actual dead body once because corpse magnets)

overall, as far as fics go this was one of the scenes that pretty much popped into existence quite fully formed (hence why i could dash it off before class) but aNYWAY um i just remembered that i did halfway-write a fic preceding this one where shiho doesn’t react as well to one of kaito’s antics? so i’ll just. post what i have won’t i

[yesyunniechan]

ShinRan with Hamilton's 'burn' though :D

I can’t even do Helpless, how can I do burn :”D

The only Idea I have is

Simply because of Minerva on background :”D
