#mmmmmm we'll go with that for now

[neriyon]

Ship meme thing! Get the template here.

So turns out these were a lot bigger than I thought sooooo we posting them one at a time to save space. It also conveniently leaves me more room to ramble about specifics under this

So! Let's go down from the top, I have lot I want to mention lol.

As said, they met during CT quests but only ended up dating after ShB events. ARR G'raha was a brat who was too focused on future to even think about relationships and Hawu'li hadn't lost anyone yet so he took his time with showing his interest. They parted as friends, and G'raha's well being was one of the first things Hawu'li asked about after meeting Exarch.

Hawu'li is canonically couple centimeters shorter than the min height allowed in-game. Based on my own comparisons of them standing side by side I'm pretty sure G'raha is min height (Exarch is little taller, guessing that's because no catboy slouch).

G'raha being bi - this is more of a general note but since the game understandably does not define any of their sexualities I usually default to just calling all npcs who show any interest to WoL bi.

Affection - I originally thought about just painting the whole chart purple bc Hawu'li is so so so affectionate. If you let him he'll touch you almost constantly (holding hands, tail wrapped around your limbs, small kisses to cheek/forehead, constant words of affection etc) but he's also very considerate about some of his partners disliking pda (limits it to behind closed doors if asked). G'raha seems more verbal type, mostly bc he still feels shy touching someone he's been idolizing for so long.

First to confess - G'raha confesses right around the last quests of 5.0 MSQ. First "love" said goes to Hawu'li though - G'raha stumbles on his words long enough for Hawu'li to just interrupt with "I love you too, you know. No need to be so shy about it."

Propose - Hawu'li is actually not that interested on marriage (after growing up on family where that was not a big thing) but he is the first one to ask for a keepsake as a mark of their bond. G'raha got a ring to keep as a necklace (with the "new adventure, together" carved inside it) and Hawu'li got a red, crystal speckled piece of thread to add to his braclet (hand woven with one thread for each person he dates seriously, him asking you to pick a thread for it is a big thing)

What else uhhhhh...

Sunkitty gets up early, moonkitty likes sun but tends to sleep long.

Hawu'li will be whatever spoon you want as long as he gets to cuddle

Being almost same size they tend to steal each other's clothes regularily, sometimes accidentally (G'raha's shyer to do it tho)

Hawu'li needs attention or he will die, luckily G'raha also needs it after pining for so long

i know about the dating aspect but very little about the actual plot of the actor au show

what's it about?

ah see, the reason you don't know about the shows plot is bc,, ,, , neither do i

no, but honestly the original idea was for it to be a drama that centers around batman and the robins with the starting point either being when damian has already shown up, or perhaps right when tim is about to take the mantle so there can be the drama of damian showing up and making it a seasonal arc for him to integrate

the thought process in skipping over dick and jasons times as robin was simply logistics, i want a decent cast already there and established, but not too big of a cast so it can expand into later seasons

i also wanted the show to be a pick and choose of canon events, kind of a patchwork of things in various canons that i like or just find interesting, so the plots would be similar to certain comics but not necessarily the same (i haven't worked out any real timeline past a few notable events)

and that's about the only thing i rly thought of the show itself bc my brain was a little more focused on the actors rather than the characters. but since you've asked this i can't get it out of my head, toying with various ideas based on major dramas from our world

is it an insane run that lasts way after it should have died and has genuine cultural effects like supernatural? since i skipped over so much backstory does that get included as flashbacks a la the Lost format or more interspersed flashbacks? hell, do they release tie in novels or comics for the fans who latch onto dick or jason and want real stories from when they were robin beyond the necessary flashbacks for storytelling purposes?

i think ive officially decided the show starts out with tims origin, so damian wouldn't show up until season 2 or 3 (logistically it makes more sense to wait until s3 but it makes me sad to have him missing for 2 seasons lmao, so ill circle back to that)

this way we have a decent sized starting cast but not so large that we'd have to kick people off screen to make space for the characters that come later. this means ill actually make jasons debut as red hood is the main plot point for the first season, there's no pit madness here, and things definitely won't play out the exact same as the comics (though you wont catch me changing much about utrh here, just adjustments to make it more of a tv show thing) i will elaborate about this arc Very Soon cause im giving myself all sorts of ideas right now

and this got a little away from me lmao, ill be posting more details hopefully some time this weekend now that ive been giving it more thought 😂 (no actual writing yet tho as i have to wait for my temp computer to get that done, just more of my rambling like this 😅 and maybe some bullet point lists lmao)

ATLA TDP MÅNESKIN NEVERMORE TODAY IS SERVINGGGGGGGG

[allsassnoclass]

Hi hazel!! I’d love to know the answers to 2, 12, 30, and 39 for the fic asks! 💜

hi amanda! thanks for stopping by!

2. Where do you get your fic ideas? everywhere! anywhere!  they don’t come from one particular place. i can get inspired by movies, tv shows, songs, books, singular lines of poetry, canon events, events or moments that have happened to me, etc.  i would say that the one thing i don’t usually get inspiration from directly is visual things, because i’m not necessarily a visual reader so i don’t always picture things distinctly when i write. so i probably won’t get inspiration from a photograph or a visual scene, although although i have before and i can get inspiration from the way it makes me feel

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them? I do not usually outline!  I keep it all in my head.  There’s a lot going on up there.  I have an in-progress outline for unmute because i need things to line up with real events and i can’t keep the real timeline straight in my head, and i have an outline for my nano project (although it’s less than halfway done and i’m coming up on the end of the outline really quick, yikes!), then i’ll probably kind of outline (mostly just make notes) for two more bigger projects if i actually get around to writing them.  my outlines are basically a list of scenes, with a few random notes at the beginning or end (example: the first page of my unmute notes doc has a quote that inspired it, a song that inspired it, an example of how i formatted texting in the fic, a list of flaws of luke and ashton in the fic, some links to timelines, the sentence  When Luke was three years old, he would pray to his drapes so they wouldn’t scare him :), and a note to myself to put a pit-stop warning after chapter 6.  the rest of it is just bullet points of events that happened in each year (both in canon and fictional story points)).  i would say that i stray a decent amount.  i have completely changed significant parts of my nano project. for unmute, i mostly tend to add scenes in between rather than change big things.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft? how much I edit depends on how much i care about the fic and how difficult it was to write.  for ask box prompts, i just give it a quick read-through and tweak things here and there as i go.  for other fics, i’ll probably read through it more than once and make bigger adjustments, but it’s usually not too intense because for the most part i like my first drafts and almost never have full sections that i need to fill in, completely change, or move around.  i tend to wait until i finish the first draft to edit, although if i’m rereading to remind myself where i left off/the tone or style of the piece, i’ll tweak things that stand out to me as i’m doing that reread.

39. What’s your most self-indulgent wip? oh that’s one of the ones for my other fandoms lol.  self-indulgent means something that i’m loving while not caring who else will read it, so that’s probably either my caswen frat au (the frat part was a surprise. i just made ej join a frat because i figured he wouldn’t know how to make friends without them being built-in and it actually turned into a whole plot point) or my hawkmetri hanahaki disease au.  the caswen one (ricky/ej from hsmtmts) is self-indulgent because 1. it’s for that pairing, which is self-indulgent in of itself 2. i am talking about a lot of theater stuff 3. lots of snoozing together 4.i really enjoy writing ej’s frat bros 5. ej isn’t smiling.  i’m really into writing fics right now where characters don’t smile, because in all of my 5sos fics people are smiling like crazy they’re just smiley guys. i think i overuse the phrase “he smiles” way too much, so i like when characters are generally unhappy with their lives and therefore not smiling a lot.  the hawkmetri (hawk/demetri from cobra kai) au is self-indulgent because 1. i’m super into cobra kai right now 2. it’s childhood best friends to enemies with a side of unrequited love which is arguably one of the tastiest dynamics in the entire universe 3. i get to write from demetri’s pov which is fun because he’s insufferable but i absolutely love him and his narrative voice is really fun 4. I get to expand on sam and demetri’s friendship a bit 5. hanahaki disease is actually an au that i have endless fascination with because i hate how it kind of puts blame on the other person for not returning the love which is dumb because people can’t control who they love and it doesn’t factor in platonic love either, so i like tweaking it to make it more swallowable for me, but i also love the flower symbolism and the angst of it and for these two????? it’s just too perfect.  i have big plans.  i wrote the first 3k of it in one sitting, which is basically unheard of for me.

yeah. those are my most self-indulgent wips right now.  i wouldn’t say that any of my 5sos ones are overly self-indulgent right now because i am always thinking of The Audience with those right now, but with those two fics i’m just going wild for the fun of it

fanfiction writing asks

[beatrixstonehill2]

"Well, it finally happened. They're all gone. Yes, I caved after seeing Persephone's reduction vid go viral. I probably watched it twenty times in a row. She had ten million followers! I didn't think she'd actually get her boobs chopped off. I know she's been teasing getting them removed for ages but I thought that was just gooner bait to get more views. I swear it's like every busty creator on this site can't help themselves. But trends are trends, people want to see girls with huge boobs get them chopped off! I swear I logged in last week and all of the top ten trending videos were just girls bouncing their oversized, fat titties only to cut to them doing a spin and 'bouncing' their completely flat chests, with that same annoying song playing.

Like it's so bad the number one pop hit out right now is a song encouraging girls to stream themselves getting their boobs destroyed called 'Give the Boys What they Want!'. And the music video is just a montage of the girls who started the TikTok trend. It's surreal watching a music video where 80% of it is girls smiling with their naked breasts exposed, making turned on expressions as surgeons cut their tits down to nothing. The bridge literally tells girls to not forget to film the inside of the trash can after the surgeon or whoever else throws out their boobs.... Like half of my following tab has profile pics of their boobs tossed in the trash. ..... OK, I'm a hypocrite, so do I now but people would be asking why I didn't change my profile pic to that if I left it alone!

And I know, how can I complain when I'm following the exact same trend like every other busty TikTok creator? You have a good point! I'm not saying I'm above trends, just annoyed by them. I'm so obsessed with social media trends I started getting anxiety about keeping my boobs. Look at my comment sections for the past month, nothing but guys asking when my boobs were finally getting chopped off, or them threatening to find me and do it themselves, which actually would've been really hot. OMG did you guys see when that happened to Caitlin Porter??? I love that vid so much! Just a group of three guys confronting her at the beach, ripping off her top and the look on her face as they debreasted her, holy fuuuuuck it was so hot. At the end when she pouted at the camera, putting her arms across her flat chest as the guys tossed her severed tits in a cooler to have them stuffed and taxidermized, and said 'I guess I deserved that, didn't I?' Mmmmmm! Best vid ever! You horny boys should go out and do that to more girls, you totally have my endorsement! Debreast a busty girl you have a crush on for fun and send the vid to my DMs! I'll make a nice compilation. With any luck we'll go viral and start a new trend!"

[abstractfrog]

I'm sorry to be anon but i wanted to let you know how much i appreciate your big sherlock & co comic (i saw it first on twitter then on tumblr and now again on my other tumblr and i liked them all). I swear everytime i look at it i catch a new detail (the newspapers exerts to transcripts to acd book pages tugs so much at my heart).

So just thank you.

I cant wait to see more of what you do 🫂

(absolutely fine to be on anon, I've sent many anons in my time)

thank youuuu :D ! that's pretty much what i wanted, for it to be rewarding on several re-reads. I'm glad so many people like it, it feels really good after all the time i spent on it.

as for what i'm doing next - mmmmmm I feel like i need to do some smaller scale shitty comics. I have an idea for The Dancing Men that I'm really excited about ( >:3 ) but I'm going to hold off on that one for now. If i keep trying to one-up myself i'll burn out. So I'll probably do a few fun ones! I have half an impulse to do a little comic for each adventure, but i try to only do scenes i feel drawn to. so we'll see!

Bellow selkie au Chapter 10!

Chapter 10 Mr greg

Blue sat huddled in the corner, she'd threw on her selkie coat and hugged her knees, she was still wearing the human clothes yellow had gave her underneath, she was terrfied that human man had saw her. "So we found where your sister lives", yellow said, looking over to blue, "do you think we should go?", blue shook her head and pulled her hood over her, "no...", she whispered, "I'm not going!".

Yellow rested her head on her hand and thought, "but blue", she began, looking back at her, "this could be our chance, our only chance to get her back", blue mumbled something yellow couldn't understand, "pardon me?", she leaned towards her, "mmmmmm.....fine", blue reluctantly agreed, not looking up at her.

"good! we'll just be paying a visit, we'll leave if you get too scared", yellow got up from her bed and put on her boots. "we're going now?", blue yelped, her voice cracking, "yep! I saw her husband was getting back home from work late, he would probably be at work at this time, it's the perfect time to pay a visit!" yellow told her, "and blue", she pointed over to her, "put on the clothes I got you, those ones are too big for you!", "blue I like these!", blue complained!, "...they're mine".

"Fine! But they're very cute!" , after some more whining she finally put on the red dress she bought, she kept her selkie coat with her on top of the dress. "Why are you wearing that?", yellow asked blue as they walked outside , "I don't want to get sick!", blue replied, moving closer to yellow, she was very scared but had gotten better at hiding it "it's summer you won't get a cold, its very hot outside", "no not that type of sick!".

When they approached the house, blue froze, she started to shake, "a-are you sure h-he won't be here?", she looked back to yellow, she could see how scared she was, "Alright, new plan", yellow sighed, knowing this wouldn't go well and feeling very guilty for the state shed put blue in. "you can stay outside and wait nearby and I'll go in, I've spoke with them before I'll say I'm going to see them on behalf of you, sounds good?", blue nodded, deep down she didnt really have much hope but this plan sounded much better than the last one.

yellow turned back to the house and approached while blue went and slid down a hill to go by the shore to try and relax, as yellow was about to knock on the door it opened and steven, the young boy and son of pink diamond, came rushing out with his father behind him, they immediately stopped when they saw yellow, Steven waved at her and yellow smiled back. "Hello there, I'm here on behalf of someone who lives here, have you seen-", "greg universe? Yeah that's me I don't have my fanmail delivered straight to my home, lady!", the man loudly interrupted her, pulling steven away from her, yellow rolled her eyes, trying to contain her anger but knowing she had to keep calm.

"no im not here for you, mr greg I'm here for-", "whatever, no one else is here!", he interrupted her again, making this even more frustrating, "unless it's steven you want!", he joked picking up steven for a second then putting him back down, "you must have the wrong house lady!", he yelled as he walked away, getting in his van with "mr universe", written on it and driving away, leaving yellow and steven alone outside the house.

"Ugh...so he's that Mr universe", yellow mumbled, greg universe was quite a popular musician around here, she'd been seeing posters and shirts of him everywhere, she even let blue buy one of those shirts, that was definitely one of the worst mistakes she'd ever made. "Hello miss", Steven said, looking up to her, he was very small, "have I seen you before?", he smiled at her, revealing his missing tooth, "yes you have! Actually I'm here to see you mother do you know where she is?", "oh yes!", Steven pointed to the house, with the door still open, "shes in there! Come in come in!", he excitedly held her hand as he lead her in the house.

"Moommmmmm!!", Steven called, pulling yellow into the living room, there sat pink diamond, or rose, sewing a ripped shirt that belonged to steven, she looked up to see yellow, her curly pinkish hair covered most of her face. "She wanted to see you!", Steven told his mother, "oh..", was all rose said, as she looked at yellow. Yellow nervously approached her, she really should've thought this plan through more. "Hello, I'm here on behalf of your sister, she wanted to see you but couldn't", yellow told her, "I understand...", rose sighed, looking quite miserable, "there's many reasons she wouldn't want to go here, how is she?", she looked up to yellow, who was much taller than her and looked giant in the small living room, "shes fine, just worried about you", "oh", rose looked away from her, she could see Steven running up and down the stairs from his room and back carrying toys to show yellow.

"Hello miss! What's your name!", Steven said, walking inbetween yellow and rose, carrying all sorts of action figures, cheap light up cars, animal plushies, toy swords and toy guns, the toys couldn't all fit into his hands and where falling on the floor, yellow slighlty laughed at this, he really was adorable. "I'm yellow, yellow diamond", she answered, "AND IM STEVEN, STEVEN UNIVERSE!", Steven replied, jumping up to try and high five her but instead dropping all his toys and slipping over some. "Oh my are you ok?", yellow asked, trying not to laugh as she helped him up, even rose was slightly laughing at him now, "yeah..", Steven replied, he was OK but very embarrassed.

[seven-stars-in-his-palm]

in ur asks once again...

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

HI LEANNE HI LEANNE SORRY I'M LATE BUT I'M HEREEEEEEEEE <3 thanks for putting the questiosn btw this made this hella easier. i should do that more...

🥺 - Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

mmmmm of course I have to bring up arguments but I suppose one that alwayssss gets me is like. a new sense of Understanding that is conveyed just by a Look. 1941-saving-the-books coded, if you will. there's a lot of moments in my fics where a character does something for another or expresses a new emotion that they haven't really before, and the other character's world view has just Shifted. you don't know how it's shifted or even how much, but it's Changed, and that's all that matters. the most recent time this has happened in a fic is for the trans omens bang (just finished the fic btw, now I just have to post it--[really hoping for august 2nd to begin my Schedule but we'll see]) where it happens twice; aziraphale realizing what crowley used the holy water he gave him for (killing ligur) and crowley realizing that aziraphale has never been able to truly express himself* because of heaven's image; that being 'being an angel means that you have to be pure and Never Indulge In Anything, Absolutely Anything, Because Why Would You Do That?'. kinda like with food. so it's not heaven being transphobic so much as it is "why would you dress like that if u don't have to, why are you even thinking about that in the first place do ur job buddy just accept what's been given to you 🤨". still a trans allegory tho. it's kinda hard to explain where you just have to read the fic to grasp it (the message) fully because its just a fun piece about trans things. THE POINT is that 1941-coded realization are AWESOME!!!!

*I personally don't believe that aziraphale has NEVER experimented with gender throughout history, but he's closeted in this au for the sake of the plot. this is not my headcanon but it's soooo fun to project <3

😅 - What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

mmmmmm I have to check but God a few that I remember is the one nimona (2023) fic I wrote that's an unnecessary angst-fest and also that one fic that's basically 'aziraphale rejects crowley so many fucking times' and it makes me cringe because it makes me sad in the bad way. also that one fic about body switch where they decide to execute 'aziraphale' and 'crowley' together in heaven. which I would do SO differently now oh my God, first of all WHY HEAVEN (I would do it in a separate third location now, probably in like. the fields of meggido. and have hell set up bleachers for the demons to watch like they did canonically. for the plot. also the symbolism). and second of all i was still getting the hang of Crowley And Aziraphale Silent Communication and the way I conveyed it in this fic is just CRINGE. full out CRINGE. I wish I could delete it but it's one of my more kudosed fics and I can't get rid of that shit. tbh any fic before i started using beta readers (began with like chapter 5 of stars in a jar au) is Bad and I wanna rewrite them so bad but then i'd be plagued forever. I only plan on rewriting the fics that are secretly a part of the said stars in a jar au (which is 2, I plan to add them to the series when those instances are mentioned in the main fic) as well as midnight's call AGAIN when I inevitably get back to writing its sequel ACTUALLY USING A BETA READER THIS TIME. idk if i'll ever write more long term gravity falls fic after I finish that sequel (except for drabbles here or there and that one gravity falls crossover i'm obligated to finish) but I refuse to let that universe rest until i've fulfilled its potential. I swear to god

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it.

autggh i already did this one but another thing i can say is worried crowley. i've been i'm good at writing him Worried And/Or Anxious because well he is me and i am him. side eyes latest fic

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

HGRHHHHHH THERE'S EIGHT RN which one do i do....i can't stop blabbing about fairytale au but since i'm currently watching a video essay on the costa concordia (by internet historian. god it's good storytelling) i'll talk about the titanic. i'm doing a titanic (1997) fic for the silver screen bang,,, i think i've definitely detailed it before but i'll do it again. heart of the ocean? CURSED. hell sends crowley on the titanic to fucking find that thang, and aziraphale tags along because he too has an assignment from heaven but it's just quick blessings (wonder why...). there's iconic scenes such as paint me like one of your french girls (ily artist ariraphale) and 'im; flying' but it's a DANCE instead. fucking hell i'm melting just thinking about it. i love the themes i love chapter 2 i love chapter 5 i love you anathema's ancestor who's also here i LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU here's a raw snippet,,,

France, Aziraphale knows well, is famous for producing the best of its rich, savory crepes. And, being a simple angel, when he had heard about their momentary stop in Cherbourg to load up more passengers, decided to give into the urges and risk a quick stop at his favorite restaurant and have a brief crepe break. It was worth it in every way possible—Crowley could explore their cabin on his own, and Aziraphale got crepes. Everyone wins!

alright that's enough blabbing. thank you for this wonderful opportunity,,, im now watching a video about a man in a hole. i love video essays

[altruistic-meme]

oh well now i got a thought: what are your (wit)jitp plans for Jean?

mmmmmm trying to think if saying all of this is spoiler-y but honestly Jean was never meant to have much of a big role in (wit)jitp to start with and even with my new found care for him (oh man i am having so many thoughts) i don't think that's really going to change much.

mostly because while he matters to Nathaniel and Kevin, he doesn't really matter to Andrew. so he exists in a very peripheral space. yeah, Andrew knows he's there and he does talk to Jean in chapter 1 very briefly, as well as him being there when Nathaniel first approaches Andrew, but he has very little to do with the story from Andrew's pov and even Kevin and Nathaniel rarely-if-ever bring him up.

his fate is probably not going to come up much, so it's probably safe to say:

there is a hint towards his future in "for the hopes"! neither I nor Nathaniel have forgotten about him! Nathaniel doesn't bring him up with Andrew because he's outside of their deal and Nathaniel doesn't want to mix them. plus, like he tells Wymack, Jean won't be willing to become a Fox or play with Kevin again, so Nathaniel sees no reason why he SHOULD mix them. it would be different if he saw a future for Jean with the Foxes, where he would probably have found a way to include Jean in the deal (or would later, when Jean is no longer in the Nest and Andrew would actually be able to protect him) but since there isn't he has to find an alternative. hence asking Wymack about the Trojans, a team he knows wouldn't ever hurt Jean.

that said, Jean actually will be coming up again in the story as there will be an arc that he will be a catalyst for, so he's not completely out of the story even if he doesn't have much of a role for most of it!

there are also a... few thoughts for something towards the end of the story where he might become more important. which is actually something i had been considering before learning about TSC! i think TSC just increased the probability of me going this route, but we'll have to wait and see :)

and there is also also an increasing possibility that i may write a side-story from his POV, though this one is mostly because of TSC lmao! if i do then that will likely be towards the end of the story as well, so all of the Jean content really is just not coming any time soon :'))

[fester-jester]

Read so far: Chapters 1-3

I wanted to mention my thoughts so far. =)

Yuji seems like the typically shounen protagonist -> which makes sense there. But I like him so far so that's all good.

Also, I didn't know what the story was going in but I did not expect the main theme of world to be supernatural with ghosts and curses (so I guess magic?)??? Idk, but since this is a popular manga/anime i was expecting superpowers or something.

Right off the bat, Yuji is WAY too strong of a guy to be some normal kid, so I expect some secret backstory to be revealed later on as to what his deal is.

(Like come on)

Also grandpa tried to allude to something before Yuji cut him off (which was very funny to me lol)

This was hilarious but might come back up? Yuji hasn't mentioned any parents and said he was raised by his grandpa sooo?

I have no big thoughts on Megumi just yet. But the dog shadow thing amused me (who knew shadow puppets could do that!)

Yuji straight up ate a rotted finger, which, tells me he'll apparently eat anything?.......(I know why he chose to do it but still ew)

(Wonderful!) (Mmmmmm crusty dusty finger!)

(You tried Megumi, you tried)

And if I mention Naruto a lot in these posts I don't care! It clearly was an influence lol.

(Kakashi wannabe)

Lol. I do find Gojo interesting. Obviously the blindfold is a curiosity and he's a teacher so he is strong. He's seems to take situations in amusement. He's just gen z Kakashi.

The story so far is that Yuji get roped into all these exorcisms(?) and curse huntings because, while trying to rescue his friends from a cursed beast, he ate a extremely cursed demon's body part (Sukuna) and now is his vessel (he would have died normally but got very lucky). Now he's helping to collect all of the Sukuna's body parts so he can eat them all and then be executed (to stop Sukuna once and for all). He agreed to be executed because he wants to help people, honor his dead grandpa's request, and because he knows how he wants to go.

Also Megumi asked for Yuji to be spared lmao.

(Got attached real quick lol)

Thought the kid (Yuji) was wild and decided he needed that in his life 😂. Good for him.

Sukuna's a really old and powerful demon as well. And Gojo is full of it.

(Confident guy. Some admire it. I'm still waiting to be convinced)

Yuji got transferred to Jujitsu high (idk why but the name amuses me. I know it's a normal word, still) to study and help with the Sukuna quest. I hope he gets to still see his two other friends.

He and the principal Masamichi had a beat down heart-to-heart. Lovely.

(I'm taking points away Yuji. Get better tastes)

Gojo got Yuji settled in his new dorm, and now they and Megumi are going to greet the 3rd student out of their 4 student class. A girl named Nobara.

Interesting so far. Not really hooked but this is popular for a reason so we'll have to see.

(Idk if to tag this spoilers so let me know)

Ok, thinking more about fixing the name.

The original name that my friend came up with and I've inherited is Eun Ae Gwon.

Looking up Eun, that's probably either 恩 (grace, kindness, mercy, or charity) or 銀 (silver or money). It supposedly has an upper class or refined meaning. It looks like it CAN be a surname but it is rare. There are supposedly something like 30 Kanja that could have the pronunciation but I'm only finding these 2.

It looks like 銀 is significantly more common than 恩. But still pretty rare. I don't think of her as having had a lot of resources to draw on, so I'm just going to limit it to the more common name to start.

Looking at where the name comes from, I would expect that she came from Haengju-dong. And while it is a rare name it isn't impossible. It does seem like the family or at least her clan had to have been important at one time but I don't think that cancels out any element of the story as is. So I think 銀 is doable and can stay, actually looking at it.

That means she is from here

which is right near Seoul which is convenient. Since I would assume a search for someone with the story she has would have begun in Seoul.

She would have come from the Haengju Eun clan (幸州 殷氏) founded by Un Hong yeol, a scholar dispatched from the Tang dynasty in 850.

Ok, so can Ae fit with Eun? ...wow, that's complicated.

Ok. So I'm going to need her birthday. Alright well Peter was born in 1951. Since he is specifically looking for someone to throw off the scent of scandal, he's going to be looking for someone close to his own age. He's in trouble in 1976, so I'm going to assume he starts looking for a wife then. Which would make him 25 trying to find a woman close to his own age, possibly even older, actually that would make a lot of sense for his purposes. Maybe he's looking for someone born at least in 1950, something easily verifiable just by asking if she was born before the war. Roll a d6 and I get 4, so we'll say that she's born April 1950, just before the war. Roll a d30 and I get 12. That'll work. Roll a d24 and I get 3. So she's born 3am on Wednesday April 12th 1950 in the city of Goyang.

Alight, now that I have that, can I find the generational naming scheme for the Eun's in 1950? Not with Google. Nada. Hmmph.

Ok, so lateral thinking, how else can I come at this name? ...hmmm. I can't look by immigration records because I don't have a specific person I'm looking for and records are protected for 75 years.

There does appear to be an actress with a similar name, which I'd bet is where my friend originally came up with it. But she's the wrong age.

MMMmmm :/ I wonder if I just have to go back to the drawing board and start again. Pfft. I can't get it right if I don't have the information. Feh.

@ofwings-andclaws

first sleepover at patrick's place.

first.

sleepover.

at patrick's.

well, the patrick point wasn't exactly .. the point. the point was ... sett had spent the night & .... prince would like to scream into the world that his fox indeed was ... a god. all that build up over the past .. he couldn't even say how long, because it'd felt like forever... it'd been so worth it. the young selkie was ... pleasantly sore. okay, alright - it wasn't exactly pleasant, but he had no regrets.

& he woke up with strong arms wrapped around him, a warm chest acting as the best pillow in the world underneath him & the fox's scent everywhere around him. was this what heaven was like? the alpha's chest rose & fell in the most soothing rhythm, which made it even more difficult to pull himself out of bed... so he didn't. not yet anyway. he wanted to enjoy the moment & it was a saturday now, so .. they could lounge in bed doing absolutely nothing. or a lot. that'd depend on sett, really. prince was just floating along at this point.

the fox didn't stir until there was a knock on the door, but it didn't open. phew. because they were both naked with a thin blanket indeed covering the most important bits, but still.

"you guys hungry?" came his brother's voice through the door & prince glanced up at him to see if he was awake by now & had a preference before he went with his own. sett was looking at him, seemingly thinking the same thing?

"you gotta be hungry after last night." the fox god chuckled quietly.

the selkie's face went diving into the fox's neck - both to hide & to nuzzle fondly. "mmmmmyeah."

another knock. damnit brother, not now. "still here."

"we'll take some.... half an hour." he'd emerged from the alpha's magnificent body only to call out, but once patrick confirmed he understood, prince was back on him. no, sprawled across him & happily so. "you're the best pillow."

"so you say. not just the best pillow, aren't it?"

"mmmmmm i dunno." as to which sett decided to use the advantage he had to tickle the selkie on top of him. mercilessly. he didn't even stop when the young omega begged, at least not for a little while longer & when he did... well, prince was panting & twitching & giggling. all three at the same time. "okay, okay. maybe... you're more than a great pillow." he grinned & rolled off the other - partially to get away & find safety away from the foxes' capable hands, but also to pick up their clothes. they'd made quite the mess, "wash up, i'll go after you."

as they'd said. long night. freshening up a little was a necessity. for himself, he picked a pair of undies to put on & then he sat down on the bed to think about what to wear, which was when his brain woke up again. he had a pile of clothes right here. so, he went to dig & found sett's shirt in no time. holding it against his chest, he pushed his nose into it for. a deep, deep breath, which was when sett came back.

"is that my shirt?" fox inquired with a raised brow, because they both knew the answer to his question.

so he quickly put it on & sprawled out on the bed in only his underwear & chosen piece of fabric, but with how he stretched, the shirt rode up just enough to expose delicious (sett's words) skin of a stomach.

therefore, instead of getting ready as they'd said they would, the fox pounced on the omega, pressing soft wet kisses to the exposed skin, but also... raspberries, which definitely won him the war, but when prince's arms & legs wrapped around him & he clung to the other like a koala would to its mother, the fox sat back with a selkie in his lap.

"breakfast is important, you know?" sett grinned.

i can eat something else, it's fine. "i knooooow. fiiine. but i'm keeping the shirt. you can go without - patrick won't mind. or i can grab you one of his shirts, cause mine wouldn't fit like... one of your arms."

[phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing]

Mmm when you put it like that I see what you mean, but I believe it's simply a symptom of what stage of the story we're at.

We got a PACKED (and a mess of a) finale arc, so they couldn't start something long term then, and 1.5 is for tying up loose ends and building up part 2 (which they've said on record is NOT standalone, so they're absolutely building up to it). If Sa has a grand plan, we're at the equivalent stage of Otto looking mysterious at his desk while Kiana is trying to pass her exams.

Also, one battle against Sa has been won, but not the war, so I suspect Vita's actions are going to come back and bite us in the ass in part 2. Sa is VERY MUCH NOT DEFEATED. All Sa lost was being covert, one proxy, and a single world out of thousands if not millions.

The Earth faction also hasn't gained Vita as an ally, which I think could be important. She swore to support Seele, but she does not give a flying fuck about Earth— she's a third party and a loose cannon, and now because of her Sa is gonna know she's got to prep against the Cocoon being aware of her existence, which might be the cause for APHO's invasion...

Not to mention @bung3665 pointed out that the main difference between the Cocoon of Finality and Sa is energy levels, and Void Archives' plan was literally Give The Cocoon's Energy To The Aliens, which... would be exactly what Sa needs to become a true Cocoon-level threat. So mmmmmm. I wouldn't dismiss Sa as an opponent...

There are also probably other aliens than the Sky people, considering the SUGARs exist, so I doubt the Sa conflict will be the only one we'll see. We still lack explanations for Kalpas and other stuff, which could be building up for other things.

I miss Otto so much. The story was so much more interesting when he was in it.

kjhshdjkfhksdf yeah the double chapter was a MistakeTM because.... y’know, it’s two for one, basically, and now i have a) only six days to come up with something new, aka write 5k, and b) only get the validation for one chapter and if anyone thinks i write for writing itself you’re right but you’re also wrong

also why did i even post on christmas there’s nobody there to read it anyways

so yeah i’ll just be uhhh dismayed at my life choices here bc i updated in /the/ dead slot. like. right before christmas morning. how idiotic.
