@well-and-true // spotify wrapped has arrived. send me a number from 1-100 for a starter based on that song, or a lyric from it, or send a 🎁 for me to shuffle.

Open To: Anyone!

“Style (Taylor’s Version)” by T.aylor S.wift You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

“Hey, you look nice,” Keife commented, smiling over at his companion. He was in a tight, slightly undersized, white t-shirt and slim fitting jeans himself, along with a black (faux) leather jacket that gave him a ‘modern Greaser’ look of sorts. They were going to a costume party, as an official couple for the first time.

Keife adjusted his jacket as he watched his companion fix their hair, walking closer and picking up the necklace they were going to wear. Lifting it up to their neck, Keife draped the jewelry over them and hooked it in the back, adjusting it for them to be centered. “Voila” he told them with a playful smirk.

* some lines have been edited & combined for easy rp use !

so still so dark all over europe

i ride down the highway 101

by the side of the ocean headed for sunset

run around in the acid rain

and the rainbow rises here in the western sky

at the end of the great white pier

i might go the same way too if you and i could talk together

would you choose to walk or stay

i might see the same way too if you would name the things that bring you down on me

i could say it's not quite true if you don't really know or understand the circumstance

it's just a feeling i get sometimes

i get frightened just like you

no time to run and hide

no time for breaking down

it's not so hard to understand

what did you expect to find?

everything will be alright, everything will turn out fine

some nights i still can't sleep

well she wanted a haven and a place to hide, so i gave her an alibi

i didn't have the heart to tell her

the devil may care but i don't mind

i left her there that night but will she find me?

and there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye but...

if you can see me, [name], reach out and take me home

save me, save me, save me from the grave...

there's a weight above me and the pressure is all too strong

give me something beautiful again

without your help i am lost in this place

first and last and always: 'til the end of time

say you'll be by me when the evidence comes along

some say i'm growing cold

wear a dress that you can see through

take away my pride and leave

killing time but it's better than living in what will come

i've still got some of your letters with me

do you remember a time when there were angels

it's lonely here and i think you knew

give me one good reason

and the women come and go, talking about me like they know

nothing but the knife to live for

yes i believe in what we had

all i know for sure is knowing doesn't mean so much

all my words are secondhand and useless

i've heard so many things i fail to understand at all

because the world is cruel and promises are broken

don't try to tell me anything

and i know the world is cold but if you hold on tight to what you find you might not mind too much

i don't care what you're called

i can wait a long long time before i hear another love song

come here, i think you're beautiful

[fairymint]

so. holiday work has had me tied up, but I'm planning a small comeback with my crafting/ animal centric muses-

mostly shovel knight and Steve, since i just grabbed pocket dungeon and have dabbled in minecraft and my animal crossing restart-

So! shoves, steve, and villager felix have high muse! I've also just finished Evangelion the other week and may have muse down the line, we'll see!

On the flipside, however, I do know that I need to work on bios since I feel like that's the biggest obstacle of interaction outside of direct engagement. (plotting, seeing them on the dash, basically remembering that they Exist™️) So, downtime I think i wanna spend filling those out. If you see a muse on my list that does not have a bio up currently, feel free to send asks about them if they pertain to that basic information-any category works! I'm going to be trying to refrain from ask memes until i can get more of that done, and I don't plan on doing pkmn ingame stuff for inspiration until the 2nd DLC drops tbh.

Open Starter: THEME (Broadway/New York - Human AU)

"Watch where yeh' goin', fucker!" Anthony had snapped as the Taxi had gone speeding by, splashing up water from the gutter and almost dousing him in the gunk. It wasn't like he hadn't gotten down and dirty before, in more ways than one, but he was dressed rather presentably, knowing that he was on his way to a Broadway show. While it had become more normalized over time to dress more comfortably, Anthony had always respected the theater, and dreamed of being involved one day.

Straightening himself out, black slightly heeled shoes clicked on the pavement, pushing back the curls of blonde atop his head. He still had about an hour to kill before the performance, and it wasn't like there was a lack of things to do in Times Square. Even if it was obnoxiously bustling with consistent tourists. He had wished he could have found a plus one to the performance of Hadestown, especially since the city was crawling with gay men, but he had been used to being outcast for most of his life. Not allowed to bond with individuals, because the mob was secretive.

He figured he'd just treat himself to a nice date. Get a nice black cup of coffee, maybe grab a slice or two of some famous New York pie from Patzeria Perfect Pizza. Turning on the street, heading towards the opening to the Subway station. Fiddling with his wallet to grab his local pass to scan it, before heading down to the bustling underground. Once the train approached, he was pushing on it, noticing how overly crowded it was. Figured, it was New York - far too overpopulated.

Forcing his way near the middle, he was pressed up way too close to someone - hopefully not a tourist, tourists always freaked about this absolutely normal thing - flashing a dazzling smile at them. "Subways, am ah' right? It's like they ain't neva' heard th' word personal boundaries. Sorry f' th' absolute lack of breathin' room, by the way." At least he smelled pretty, right?

i haven’t forgotten about spending St Patrick’s Day with Matt btw!

for starters: pregaming at the apartment is a MUST. karen bought so many st paddy’s themed items, like headbands, scarves, tattoos. you name it, she got it.

putting a temporary tattoo on matt’s cheeks because he’s only wearing green and you are determined to get him super festive (including switching his normal red lenses for green ones). you even begged him to put a little shamrock on his chest.

josie’s is a hoot on st patrick’s. green beer, jameson shots to go around for days. first thing josie notices on matt (because most he has done was wear the same green flannel every yeah) is the little tattoos and the giant shamrock on his shirt. and he pulls you close and says, “all thanks to her. she said i wasn’t festive enough and she’s not even irish” to which you poke his side and say to josie, “i think the irish one here should be festive of his heritage”

josie’s is blasting irish music and the drinks start tasting like you can do irish step dance and matt can hear you belly laughing while karen says to matt, “you got a wild one, murdock. she’s a keeper”

(i did take direct inspo of this pic btw)

Slasher band au headcanons! (noone asked for but im hyperfixiating on this au since it came out-)

the whole au explained is basically the slashers make traumas into songs then into victims, they are still crazy like shit, but HEY a step better then what they originally are.

I hc that some of the slashers still have some of their slasher self's hobbies like RZ! mickey does himself some masks, Asa taking care of incects and pin them aswell, and Jesse doing video camera work, to keep themselves sane at times

Brahms once taught Lenz how to play chess and he's pretty good for a starter, too good beacuse he's making brahms lose 3rd time in a row not understanding Billy is eating the chess pieces when Brahms isn't looking

With letting out their emotions with songs, many of the slashers let go of hard times with these, and or its a good way for them to cope, then.. in the other way. (works like magic for Michael)

Peepaw! michael was once a rockstar aswell but retired as time passed, that was the same period Michael and Mickey had began their band. They both took big inspo from peepaw, asking him questions with interactions with fans, music etc etc

Mickey had joined the Haddonfield Maniacs after noticing how great Michael is feeling with letting his emotions out on stage, especially after the many thins that happened to him. with a relateable situation he had once been in, he wanted to join the band to know how it feels.

Asa and Jesse live together in a garden house, to have the dogs have some place to run around and have fun, Asa cares about his dogs safety aswell, hes a kind of guy that always says he doesnt love his dogs that much. But if he hears one small whimper coming from outside he's rushing with a highly professional medkit and babying them to sleep and talking in a slight high pitch voice to them.

Billy hates anykind of music that has the word 'pop' in it , meanwhile Stu listens to all kinds of music with 'pop' in it, and annoys Billy with it by blasting it on full volume everytime. and then he live streams Billy chasing him

speaking of that Billy and Stu, mainly Stu is pretty famous on youtube for accepting all kinds of challenges his comment sections are giving him or some trendy demon summoning shit? hes already got the candles, book, and a camera to record it

Jesse teases Asa about their height diffrence, (over 20cm diffrence) and Asa teases Jesse about their age diffrence (its just 1 or 2 years..)

Lester LOVES and i mean LOVES spicy food, he would be throwing all kinds of spices to an already devils offered like food, as Bo and Vincent are slowly backing up watching in disbelief

I’m Commander Shepard,

L to R: Mercy, Stellan and Truce

they/them pronouns only please

‼️ 🔥 ART BY @pyxchta 🔥‼️

stellan: talking a million miles a minute about water pumps, shiala, their turtle, zhu’s hope, shiala’s flowers, keeping sourdough starter alive through all these years, aquaculture (oysters in particular), shiala’s biceps, regenerative agriculture, their cousins tilly and scott, and also their wife, shiala…

mercy n truce, making eye contact over Stellan’s head, clearly both thinking the same thing: tiny

MERCY SHEPARD

earthborn / sole survivor / sentinel / renegon

romance: kasumi

likes: music, anything physical like dance and sports, racing cars. fresh fruit. a good heist. getting to know people

wears: usually issued pants and boots, simple sweatshirt. occasional leather jacket, rare suit. big fan of fuzzy socks they’d normally only wear a tank like this on on the ship, but as @acrylicsalts-inspo pointed out… the gun show 🙈

dies at the end

fun fact: even though anderson won mercy a plea deal (alliance enlistment rather than a prison sentence), hackett takes it a step farther and threatens kasumi’s safety for mercy’s compliance

fun fact: mercy and kasumi met on earth as teens n were very close. until just before mercy’s eighteenth birthday they did a lot of hits together. they reunite in me2, over a decade later, and fall in love. my brain is currently rotting over them right now,, we in the pits fam

au’s!! 🙈: crimelord, sports coach, white collar

STELLAN SHEPARD

colonist / war hero / engineer / paragon

romance: shiala

likes: kepesh yakshi, fixing things, aquatic plants, kayaking

wears: like a walking carhartt duluth catalogue, but also likes jeans and shiala’s old sports teams jackets that are big and comfy on them (like rn)

joined the alliance to be a science officer/part of the engineer corps, not to be a military commander

fun fact: stellan lost their arm in an accident w farming equipment at age ten—tinkers over their prosthetic with their cousins tilly and scott (ryder)

fun fact: gets soft and a lil chubby with retirement—farm strong, but also really well fed on fresh bread and jam and butter and honey wine and thick yogurt and hearty stews and fruit beers, grilled veggies and smoked cheeses…

TRUCE SHEPARD

spacer / ruthless / infiltrator / paragade

romance: EDI

likes: really really good oil pastels and colored pencils. making the impossible shot. getting to check out local galleries and museums

wears: very muted neutrals, the occasional pastel. even if they’re wearing something casual it’s a monochrome outfit, which makes them always look a little formal. at minimum, put together.

wanted to run away to become a portraitist. when they wake up in me2, truce discovers their parents sold and published all of their private sketchbooks

fun fact: clone of their dead older brother, john. he died in the first contact wars, in the middle of a meteoric rise

fun fact: their baby sister Ruth, is also a clone of their dead brother John. Born on Truce’s sixteenth birthday. Truce dotes upon her

THANK YOU AGAIN @pyxchta seriously yall go check out her work, go commission her, it was an amazing experience and my heart is still bursting at how damn well she translated my word salad into ART

[wr1tten]

im wanting to start things with peeps but don't have inspo to write much tonight. so like this for a sentence music based starter! (aka the only sentence rp you will see on this blog ever)

[fxsiondance]

Think I'm going to make a few big open starters with music inspo and hopefully they do well. Might throw in an au one or couple.

[reevezs]

//closed starter for @pleinsdemuses

He couldn't tell how it all started and whose idea it was, he didn't remember how they had managed to put this group together. After a few weeks and thousands of messages in a constantly growing group chat, they were finally ready. The group of eight people who would be responsible for different aspects of the game met not so far from their destination. The hospital's building was still hidden behind the trees and they wouldn't see it almost until the last moment before they reached the fence with a big sign that read Do Not Enter. A sign they would obviously ignore. The next thing they would notice had to be the building's beautiful Tudor Gothic architecture, breathtaking but eerie, and a forgotten maze of roses and boxwoods that once looked impeccable to greet the patients. But that's obviously not what they all crossed the country for.

"It's gonna be fun, can't fail at making a game you have lived, right?" One of the guys mused as they started their little hike to the hospital. "Go to a haunted place, spend a night there... I mean, what better way to get the inspo?"

That guy was responsible for the sound effects and music and was more excited than anyone else; the fifth person to join the original trio along with a certain someone who made the blue-haired programmer opt out. In the proggramer's defense, working with someone who happened to be his ex sounded like a survival game in itself. He left the group as soon as his ex became their character designer... But then returned when a friend of a friend recommended a beautiful brunette as the main character's voice actress and she accepted the invitation.

He shouldn't have been trusted with her picture and the seemingly tiny detail that helped him figure out where she worked - he broke a few rules the group was so obsessed with by visiting her workplace and chatting with the girl on her break. Of course, he didn't tell her who he was when she began rambling about a crazy indie game project that starts with the whole team going to an allegedly haunted place. When? In two weeks, as long as they find someone to fill in for the guy who unexpectedly left the group. He knew damn well he was the guy who abandoned the ship and, hearing the voice so sweet he might have instantly fallen in love with, thought he would gladly return just to spend more time with her.

Half an hour before the sunset, fashionably and much on purpose late, he joined them with two others just when the group was about to turn a blind eye to the huge red sign that's supposed to keep the people off the property. The three missing pieces of the whole greeted the group, but one of them focused his gaze on the brunette, aware that his blue hair stood out enough for her to recognize her customer from two weeks prior.

Someone waved him over, audibly relieved to see their programmer back. "Rio, get your ass here! I thought you fucking abandoned the project again! Let's check if we've got everything we need and regroup. We wanna get inside the building before the sunset."

HI ITS 🪻 AGAIN

Heres the playlist :3

FIRST OF ALL sorry for the amount of brazilian songs, im brazilian and the songs there are SO IBMT coded (poxa by os pedrero especially, stan would SO sing it on his bday looking at kyle (idk if spotify translate the lyrics of that one 😿 (IF IT DOSENT U CAN POST HERE SO I SEE IT AND TRANSLATE IT TO U :3 (and the others as well))))

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BvmpOyDej5SyLXLgmAgoP?si=KK7P-iXbQVGesoe-0yRJFg&pi=u-pXqUyh21QBOp (I CAN SEND IN YOUR DM THE COLLABORATOR LINK OF THE PLAYLIST IF U WANT 😼😼😼)

(as you can see im a big fan of the cardigans and alex g)

YAYA!!! WOW!!! YIPPIE!!! 💖✨💖

[I wanna start by saying that as I was responding to this, I was already two hours into my long ass response and my freaking tumblr crashed and deleted everything….. So if it sounds off, I’m so sorry, i genuinely had such a long, heartfelt deep dive with some of these songs and others as well, but it all got lost… I’m gonna cry, I’m so pissed….. BUT BUT I’m gonna try to rewrite everything I said in this post 😭 god… I’m so sad. This rewrite will probably not hit the same as the original..]

Thank you so much for creating this!!! Truly 💜. I love music so freaking much! As someone with synesthesia and maladaptive daydreaming, music is genuinely one of my biggest inspirations for when I’m writing! I’ll listen to this playlist while on the way because I sadly don’t have Spotify Premium 🫠 but I knew this was gonna slap when I saw Mitski and Vampire Empire! I’ll get back to you again when I’m done listening to all of it!

For starters, I wanna comment on this fuckass image!! It’s sending me into orbit lmaoooooo 😭😭 (deadass what happened in chapter 8 ngl)

(They’re so losers, I love them)

I actually have my own private playlist (forgot I had one lmao) of this fic!! I do recommend giving these songs a chance because not only are they good, they are some of my main inspiration for writing some scenes. The lyrics fit the story line for real! TRUST! Idk if it was obvious, but I do title my chapters after song lyrics that fit the chapter vibes lolol. Anyways!!!

Bad Habits - Steve Stacy [This song is actually my main inspiration for the fic title. I had this idea in my head for so long, then this song came into my shuffle as I was driving and thinking of it, and then I was like “you know what, I AM writing and publishing this fic.” The title is a play in words. I mentioned this in my notes before but the phrase “I bite my tongue” is when someone holds their words or stops themselves from saying what they want, which is the main theme of the story. But I thought it was funny to say “I bit” instead because it’s silly to think someone wanting to say something so bad and then they just bite their tongue by accident. “Loser Stan,” I whisper into the void]

IFHY - Tyler, The Creator [This story has a lot of themes of jealousy so how could I NOT add this! I was actually listening to this song as I was writing chapter 6, and it even inspired the title for it! I mainly was thinking of this song in Stan’s POV, especially in that scene with Craig and Kyle, but the more you learn about Kyle’s character and POV in future chapters, you start to realize that this song really fits him too. Jealous Stan but possessive Kyle anyone? LET ME COOK]

Come Here - Dominic Fike [Im pretty sure this counts as spoilers but not really, but this song is the inspiration for chapter 11’s title! We’re still in Kyle’s POV and I feel like it really fits his desire for Stan in his POV. Plus, this song might be short but it’s one hell of a banger! 10/10]

Mistakes Like This - Prelow [Love this song for real! I feel like some of the lyrics could fit IBMT Stan but others fit Kyle more, in the end, I decided to settle to Kyle’s POV. Actually, this one is the inspo for chapter 9’s title!It talks about drunken love spurs so it’s immediately STYLE coded to me!!!]

Structure - Odd Sweetheart [YES!!!! This is the song that was sang in chapter 8 and there was even a whole ass animatic MADE with it! Yay, thank you Lyn!! And of course, it’s also the chapter’s title! BUT SERIOUSLY— Stan singing this song as he’s realizing his feelings for Kyle!!! I JUST- Auuuugghh!! I hate those idiots in love!]

Let’s Go - Stuck in the Sound [Yet another song that gets sang on chapter 8! This is actually the first song they play in their garage performance setlist because I feel like the lyrics really paint a picture to Stan’s dilemma in the beginning of the story to his now, current state. Yeah, you know that scene, mhm mhm🙂‍↕️, Stan was singing this babey!! It fits IBMT and it’s an actual head banger? 😎HELL YEAH]

I Got Drunk - Miya Folick [I LOVE MIYA FOLICK and I LOVE this song!! It’s STYLE coded and genuinely so freaking underrated!!! Any scenario where Stan gets drunk and confesses his feelings for Kyle is deadass THIS song!! I kinda want to write a one shots out of this one on god! EVERY STYLE SHIPPER SHOULD LISTEN TO IT! I PROMISE ITS THEM! IN THIS ESSAY-]

Here are a couple more songs I recommend! I have a bunch on my playlist that I feel really fit the vibe/story line of IBMT, but I don’t wanna go super overboard than what I’ve already shown 😭. But if you ever do want more, let me know.

• Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys

• 3s’ - Mindless Self Indulgence

• Kuuchuu Buranko - Plastic Tree

• Psychic Sobriety - Foie Gras

• Let Me Know(I Wonder Why Freestyle) - Juice WRLD

• Somethin’ Stupid - Frank Sinatra

Now on to the songs on your playlist!! I did say I would go over all of them later, but I do want to talk about some of the ones I do recognize 😖🤞

My Alcohol Friends - The Dresden Dolls: This song in general is Stan coded! I know a lot of people get tired about hearing Stan’s drinking problems, but at the end of the day, a big part of his character is that he’s prone to fall into addicting habits (wether it’s hoarding, gambling, freemium, alcohol, etc). SO YES!! This song 100% DOES fit!!

I Want You - Mitski: I love Mitski so much! I do believe it fits them but I don’t know who’s POV exactly cuz it could go either or, so please let me know your opinion! I do love the inclusion of First Love/Late Spring, Stan’s POV goes BRRR on that one! What do you think of Old Friend being in Stan’s POV and Why Didn’t You Stop Me? being Kyle’s POV? 👀 I think it fits hehe. Shame is also a good one and I was actually listening to it as I was writing chapter 5 (you can actually tell because I hinted the lyrics in the first couple of paragraphs of it haha). Go figures!! As you can tell, I have a lot of Mitski songs in my library because my bestie is a BIG fan of hers, so she’s always listening to her. We were suppose to see her on her tour but we were all broke and working at that time 💔 next time, perhaps. She also suggested to include Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart because it fits IBMT Stan. Thoughts?

Lovefool - The Cardigan: Kyle. Yes, Kyle! It just fits pre-IBMT Kyle! Boy was so down bad, swooning like a freaking idiot before Bebe’s after-party incident in chapter 9. UGH! I hate them so much! They really need to fix their shit so they can go back to being all cringe and lovey dovey!!! I’m getting pissed off, maybe I SHOULD finish writing chapter 11!!

A New Kind Of Love - Frou Frou ft. Imogen Heap & Guy Sigsworth: Another fun fact! This song is also on my IBMT playlist! I love Imogen Heap so much!! I have some of her other songs on my other fic/character playlists too!

Shut Me Up - Mindless Self Indulgence: Honestly , I did not expect this one! I kind of want to know your thoughts on why you added it! Was it a specific scene? I do feel like it fits the garage performance vibe since it has that intensity I pictured! I actually created a setlist for the songs the boy performed in order lolol. But yes!! Love it either way <333

Vampire Empire - Big Thief: I CAN’T EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THE INCLUSION OF THIS ONE!!!! This was obviously on not only my IBMT playlist, but my STYLE playlist too. It just… it’s literally them, guys!! I can literally go into a heavily 10 page scripted deep dive about how this song fits those two, but it could all be concluded to that angst unrequited/requited love you have towards your best friend. GOD!! I can talk about this song and style for an entire 8 hour podcast too!! But I’ll refrain myself by just saying: YES YES YES 100% YES ANON 👍💙💚.

Once again thank you so much for sharing your playlist!!! I know I have the story on pause to focus on my other fic, but I promise you I am NOT scrapping it! I will come back to it eventually. Please look forward to that and my other stories if you’re interested 🥹🫶

a guide to dnfao3tags!

hello there :] i'm kay, the admin of this blog. i've been running this blog from april 29 2022 when i made my dnf starter pack post for all those new to dnf fics. since then, i've made more than 700 posts and have added many features to my blog.

here's a little guide to everything and anything dnfao3tags!

(highly recommend checking my blog out on a pc, a lot more features are easily visible that way)

new to dnf?

as mentioned above, i have a starter pack; along with that i'd like to recommend :

my personal favs

my tag navigation page so you can easily find fics according to your wishes

i also have a masterpost of a significant number of fics i've recommended on this blog, however i don't often update it so its a little useless

every month (or whenever im free), i try to make a monthly fic roundup which i post in the first week of the new month; stay tuned for that

my trope wise reclists

spotlight fic recs from my bookmarks (dnfao3tags bookmarks)

all of my fic rec posts (dnfao3tags recs) - including reclists, spotlight fic recs, fic was founds, etc

posts made by authors themselves for their own fics (author post)

fic recs made by writers themselves (author recs)

there's also a dnf ship wiki surprisingly which might be useful if you want to get familiar with them

if you're confused about any references or something, feel free to send me an ask and hopefully me or my followers can help.

'can i help you?'

absolutely! while i don't accept any more mod/admins on this blog, you can still do the following :

rec/submit a fic (self-promo encouraged)

send me a quote you liked from a fic and view some dnf fic quotes here

here are a bunch of fic not founds that unfortunately were never found. take a look and see if you recognise any!

you can also send me fics to submit in the monthly fic roundup

sometimes i can't find fics for certain tropes so i crowdsource; check if know any fics for that particular trope and send them in

send some fic ideas you have!

deleted fics

i already made a guide to how i deal with deleted fics on this blog.

my Finding Deleted Fics: A Multi-Method Guide post.

if you're an author and would like me to take down your fics then send me a dm and i'll happily do it. if you'd like, i could also only share them in dms too.

fic not found

feel free to ask about any lost fics and i'll see if me or my followers can recognize it. please please Please be as specific as possible and also mention if you think it may be deleted.

i will post your ask asking my followers if i don't recognize it and if someone helps me out, i'll reblog your ask with the found fic so just keep checking the reblogs or the tags fic was found & fic potentially found.

searching my blog

if you open my blog on pc then you'll see one search bar in the header:

and one like this below the updates box:

the google enhanced search box is more accurate so i recommend using that one ! however, it is definitely not foolproof so i also recommend using my tagnav to search for a specific post because i tag pretty much everything. you can also send me an ask.

cool features

i have a music player ! you can send in songs for me to add to it

any tips and tricks i have for ao3 will be in this how to ao3 tag

want some writing inspo? here are some fic ideas

you can also ask me for song based reqs

i also have author archives for anonymous authors (eg. mario anon), deleted authors and orphaned authors

click this for a random post of mine

more stuff

i have a twitter (though i am inactive there)

please read my about/faq page before sending asks

i have a tag for any posts that aren't specifically fic recs and just me talking (kay talks) which you can mute if you aren't interested

occasionally i get asks about dreamnotnap which i sometimes answer; you can also mute that tag along with my not dnf tag

and that's all i can currently think of!

i'm thinking of adhering to a posting schedule so i might post about that later. i'm a bit more free these days so i'll probably be a bit more quick to asks.

hope this helped you guys out; thanks for reading :]

I need to know more about Michael's mom... Is she a cool mom?

SHE IS A VERY COOL MOM janet afton you will always be famous. to me

Im taking this as a chance to finally ramble abt her anyways so Janet's core inspo when designing her was to avoid 2 key things. Don't make her like Immortal & Th Restless's Clara (due to clara representing michael, not mrs afton, so i wanted to avoid that), and don't base her too heavily off of Ballora. I still have ties to Ballora's character (a music-based theme, blue-centric colour palette, im sure there were more basic ideas but everything else is more hc than themes to keep up) due to my hc thingy of each Funtime having ties to William's wife + kids, but yknow.

But yeah. Funky lady who played bass guitar + did backup vocals in a band during her high school and college years. Literally her and William dating can be summed up by "Seriously, what do you see in that guy?!" "He makes me laugh." bc she was and is WAY out of his goddamn league. Not just bc of the whole serial killer thing he was just an even bigger loser in college. Normal people dont develop a crush on a woman after she nearly breaks your nose and makes you bleed, William /j

But yeah uhh. I also dont like the idea of her being absent or neglectful purely because I got way too attached to her (i was originally gonna do that just to make things easy for myself but. Pretty lady,,, I am a very simple lesbian what can i say) so like. She obviously wasnt the greatest, most fantastic mom to ever exist given she was kinda maybe sorta well aware William was making some weird fucking clowns, but like. Hey. She tried. Also side note my reasoning for her being absent during the whole. Yknow. '83 event (and just evan's bday in general) is bc Evan + Elizabeth are twins and Elizabeth demanded a girls-only trip for her bday, and Janet promised Evan she'd do something just as special for him when she got back. That never happened bc he died lmao loser /j

But yeah uhh. Shes got a lot of regrets. Wishes she coulda done a lot of things better. Kinda dies with those regrets. Ive seen people say that one of fnaf's charms is that no character is 100% good and i LOVE that, and wanted to keep it up with Janet. Good mom and overall a good person, however made some bad decisions along the way and whatnot.

Im still working out specifics (ive been slowly working on a lil private fic abt her and william meeting + their early relationship) but uhhh. Minor notes that dont get their own paragraphs is that William sampled her voice for Ballora so yay easy voice claim, she had an on and off relationship with her band's lead singer (her name's Bev), her birth name is actually Janice Schmidt but if you call her Janice she'll knock at least 2 of ur teeth out, she's a runaway teen and got adopted by this older couple bc her home life kinda sucked (idk specifics yet), and also girlie has an extensive criminal record of minor angsty teen type charges. Also teen Mike dying his hair and then 2020's Michael's hairstyle are both kinda references to Janet's hair because he wnated to look less like his father. Thats all ty. No read more bc you WILL look at my mrs afton post, boy /j

Actually no theres more that im remembering as i write the tags and edit a few details. Back to her and William because god im insane about them. So for starters it. Well i was gonna say Janet was def the first to flirt but i think William definitely developed a crush first and they only kept talking bc of said crush so its kinda up for debate. Anyways yeah at first it was a HUGE sorta like "Well he's funny especially when I fluster him so this can be just a fun lil thing" but because they chatted more they def kinda like. Clicked more. William was a huge fan of listening to her music (from. a distance. he looked kinda like a creep but at least janet only misinterpreted it once) but like *specifically* janet he didnt give a fucking shit abt the rest of the band. Uhh. They had their first run-in and janet kinda. Well. Punched him in the nose before he cleared up that he is NOT a pervert or anything weird like that (bc a guy that looks older than he is staring from a distance when there is a clear crowd he could join kinda gave janet the Wrong idea), then they later bumped into each other in the hall and chatted for a bit, then they kinda just kept "accidentally" running into one another. Uhhh. Some cigaerette-themed flirting and a house party later, yay dating :] can you tell where the current cut-off of the fic is /j Also idk how to put this down properly but they are both runaways and can kinda. Get that vibe from one another. Literally Michael is like some fucked up abomination of the both of them between the troubled past + weird situationship thing + runaway stuff + a lot of minor details that arent important rn. I just. Yeah Janet means the world to me go thru her tag on my blog for some art. Not all of my janet art is posted but the non-posted stuff is all concept work/doodles or just. Shit im too embarrassed to post lmao. Anyways NOW im done ty for reading

“Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to part two of catching up with ivy. So let's continue. We were talking about how you and yeonjun had met each other. Now let’s talk about your music. How does it feel, now that you are the producer, composer, lyricist and the mastermind behind all your songs? Does it feel different than before?” Eric turned to ivy as he asked her the question after the intro.

“Well for starters, it feels new. I’ve always had at least a person or two in my studio and they’d do the work and I'd just give suggestions but now I'm the one who’s completely responsible for what kind of music I put out. It's a bit burdensome. I won't lie but it gives me a lot of freedom.” she laughs before continuing. “I feel like I can play around with anything and everything until I find what I like before putting it out. And I have 3racha on the hotline so I can ask them any questions I have about producing. I remember I once called Han at like 3 am and he was like ‘what the hell do you want?’ I think he probably wanted to kill me." Eric joins in with his laughter before asking her, “it’s a relief that you have people you can reach out too then.” Ivy nodded, saying yes. Moving on from that, eric started, “we asked your fans, soleils, some questions for you to answer. Are you ready?” she nodded enthusiastically. “Okay, first question! ‘who is your fashion inspiration?’” eric asked her.

Ivy thought for a second before opening her mouth to answer, “honestly I draw inspiration from my everyday life. There isn’t anything particular that I can put a label on as my inspo. I sometimes look at yeonjun and get inspired, i listen to taylor swift and get an inspiration suddenly, i open pinterest and look at my board and randomly get up to choose an outfit for the day. So yeah it depends on many factors.” she concluded. Satisfied with her answer, eric nodded before looking at the iPad for the next question. “What is your favorite food ?” he asked her. “Hmm, to me, since i have very limited options as a vegetarian here but my all time favorite food has to be the tteokbokki that yeonjun’s mom makes. It tastes so good! Her food is my all time favorite after my moms of course. I think i visit her more than yeonjun sometimes haha” she laughs. “Oh yea! I wanted to ask you about that. How do you survive being a vegetarian here? It's really hard. I tried for some time and I went back to the states and I couldn't control it haha” Eric asks her and laughs. Chuckling, she started, “I was just brought up like that. I didn’t wake up one day and suddenly wanted to be a vegetarian. It's not that difficult for me in a sense that I don't find it difficult to not eat any meat but it’s pretty difficult to find vegetarian stuff here. There is not much vegetarian stuff available. And in that sense i'm really thankful to yeonjun’s mom because she tries a lot to make stuff vegetarian for me whenever i visit. It moves me to tears everytime. She’s always trying out new methods to make stuff edible for me and it really touches my heart.” she finishes.

Eric gave her a smile before reading the next question. “What is your description of the perfect date?” Eric asks, chuckling. “There is no such thing as a perfect date. You just have to make sure that the both of you don’t make each other uncomfortable if it’s the first one. But if it’s like a date with like your significant other, I would recommend that you do whatever that makes you both happy. A date should not be fun for only one person. Whatever you choose to do, make sure both of you have equal amounts of fun” she finished. Eric looked at her before asking her a question of his own. “Okay, this is my question. What is the best date that you have gone on?” she chuckled before answering him. “The first one that comes to mind is that one day when we both had the day off and we decided to not waste the day. We got up and we ate breakfast and just headed out. We went to art museums, we went cafe hopping, we had lunch and we walked out and about until sunset and we had a little picnic and we ended the night stargazing. It is the best date we’ve had. I won't lie haha” she laughed as Eric looked with adoration at her as she finished speaking. “That sounds like so much fun!! Okay now to the next question. What is your dream collab stage?” he asked her. She thought for a few seconds “i’d love to collab with Taylor swift. But we all know that’s not gonna happen haha. So realistically speaking, I'd love to have all my girl friends on an album or a song. Like I'm talking inka from stray kids, calista from enhypen, lua from ateez, and haewon from mask and many more people that if i start naming, i could go on forever haha.” she laughs as she finishes her sentence. Eric looks at her with an amused look and reads the next question. “What are your hobbies?” “hmm i’d say i love taking pictures that look really aesthetic. I have been using my old phone that I don't use anymore simply for taking pictures. And oh I love baking! If i’m not home, then i’m probably at the straykid’s dorm or the tubatu dorm baking with felix or soobin haha." She explains her hobbies and waits for Eric to ask her the next question. “What do you hate most in the world?” he asks her. “People not respecting boundaries. I really hate it when people cross boundaries they’re not supposed to cross. Like mainly in this industry where our privacy as idols are not respected. I know that as fans they want to know everything that happens in our life but people have to know where to stop. They have to understand that we can share only minute details of ourselves. They have to understand that it's the same feeling as someone randomly coming up to you in the streets and asking you to spill your deepest darkest secret.” she finished as Eric nodded, agreeing to her words. "Do you prefer cats or dogs?" He asks her the next question. Gasping, she places a hand dramatically on her chest. "You can't ask me to choose!! I know I have two dogs but I promised Inka that I will love cats the same as dogs!! I won't choose between my dogs and the words of other love of my life!!" Ivy says as Eric wheezes at her dramatic behavior next to her. She too chuckles when Eric tries to read the next question.

"What would you have done if you hadn't become an idol?" "That's a very interesting question. Hmm i haven't really given it much thought since from all i can remember from the age of 11 is that I've ever thought about is working hard to become an idol. But it really got to me when I was on break last time. I can't be doing this forever can i? I mean I'll continue being an idol as long as my body allows it and I have a passion for it. But I was thinking about what I will do next if I lose my passion for this. That's when I realized that I had to think of something else too. I think if i hadn't been an idol, I would've probably gone to college in the states and would've been working now. But I've always wanted to open a cafe so I would've probably done that. But I do plan on opening my own cafe one day though!! It's not just a dream of the past. It's a dream for the future too." Ivy finished as Eric looked at her like a proud father. "I really hope you achieve that dream of your jen!" He wished her as she thanked him silently before answering the next question.

"Who is the person you trust the most?" He asked her. Without any hesitation, she replied "mom, dad, my brother, my sister and yeonjun." Smiling at how quick she answered the question, Eric moved on to the next one. "Ooh this is a very interesting question. This fan asks 'since you debuted at such a young age, what were the pros and cons of it? How did you manage school?' " smiling at the question, "they always know what to ask haha." She laughed before answering it. "Of course the obvious pros that came out of it are getting a lot of fans that support me and love me for who i am. A lot of people come up to me saying that my music saved them or that they found me at their lowest and in one way or the other i helped them get out of it and these words really keep me up at night. Yes it was really hard debuting at that age but it's words like these that don't make me regret it. Although yes I do wish I could've debuted a bit later but i was desperate. I thought that if i didn't debut at that time then i couldn't debut at all. But all ended up being good. So I don't regret anything. And about how I managed school, it was tough. It really was haha I remember once when I was back from a music show at almost 2 am but I had a test the next morning so I stayed up preparing for it. I got a good result so it was all worth it but yeah managing school was tough. College was a lot easier though. I loved college." She finished. Eric looked at her with a look of sympathy as he read the next question. "If you had to pick a song to describe your life, what would it be?" "Hmm one song? It's hard choosing just one. Because I feel like there's a time in my life I could say "to my youth" fit the best and there's a time when I can say "blueming" fits perfectly. There was a time when- I can't say much about it but, a song in my upcoming album fit the best. So it's almost impossible to pinpoint one song. She replied. "Are you more of a sweet or savory eater?" Eric read the next question. "I am more of a sweet tooth. I love anything and everything sweet but I do crave savory quite a few times to balance it out. But the majority of the time, I'm a sweet tooth!" Ivy answered.

Suddenly Eric clapped his arms once startling the poor girl. Laughing at her, he says "it's the second to last question." Pouting, she whines at him about how she doesn't wanna go and wants to stay some more. Laughing at her antics, Eric reads out the question. "What's your dream destination?" "My dream destination is probably switzerland. I heard it's really beautiful and I've seen a few videos so I'd love to go there one day." Ivy smiled as she waited for the last question. Eric asked her, "which musical concept do you prefer and why? I feel like it's a good question to end" nodding, she replied. "Hmm I like a lot of concepts but I think I like fantasy and y2k concepts in kpop. But overall I love it when the music tells the artist's story. I love it." Sighing, Eric kept the iPad on the ground and sat up straight.

He could see ivy pouting and as he laughed at it, he said his closing ments and asked Ivy to say how she felt. "I felt so comfortable actually. It's so nice here, the ambiance is really good and you all are soo sweet!! I want to start a podcast here now! haha But anyways, I had such a great time. And it's been quite some time since I saw Eric oppa too so it felt really nice catching up and answering the questions! Thank you soo much for having me!! I'd love to be back one day!! Byeee" she said as the outro of the daebak show played.
