Hi there! Long time fan, first time requester! I’m autistic and my current hyper fixation is the HELLAVerse so I got super excited when I saw you’re writing for Helluva now! I was hoping for fem/gn reader with Stolas, Millie, Blitz, and your choice where they go to lulu land for a birthday or an anniversary? I love theme park date ideas and wanna see your take on it if you’d like!
Also, could I be 🍎 anon? I’d love to interact more now that I’ve gotten this far!



𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐳ø, 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬/𝐨 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-
a/n: heyo!! ofc you can be 🍎anon!! when i read this i was kinda confused cause i didn’t know if you meant lu-lu WORLD by lucifer or loo loo LAND — the knock off of lucifer’s, which i think is owned by mammon? idk i’m still rewatching the episodes haha. but i think you meant the one via and stolas went to in season 1 so i hope i’m right ^^” and yes ofc!! don’t be scared to interact haha, i won’t bite. even if it’s not request related i can stir up quite the convo XD anyway, on with the show :)
warnings: profanity, mentions of possible age-gaps in stolas’s part, implied violence in millie’s part
proofread: yep
tags: helluva boss, x reader, fic, stolas, blitzø, millie
𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐳ø
blitzø quite honestly doesn’t understand all that hype about loo loo land, but if it makes you happy, than hey, fuck it, am i right?
the only thing he genuinely doesn’t like is the possibility of running into fizz, they may have sorta made up, but it’s still a bit awkward — at least for now
he’ll go do all the rides with you, even the ones he thinks are dumb, or straight-up creepy, whether he says it or not he likes seeing you get all excited about it
although, he genuinely does get into the rides that go upside-down and backwards and that go crazy fast, he’s screaming out of excitement the whole damn way, and you both probably end up going on those like 100 times
and yes, he did spend the fifty dollars on that novelty cup that you can only use once, all for you
𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬
while at loo loo land, he may baby you just a tad, especially if you’re an age-gap couple where he’s significantly older
like blitzø, he’ll go on all the rides with you, but not the big, scary rides like blitzø would do, nah, stolas would do the kiddy ones and sit there clap his hands like a small child…
as we can see in S1E2, he will spend a shit ton of money on any kind of merchandise like shirts, hats, cups, toys, etc — will probably bring something from for via as well
speaking of via, her father will constantly be sending her pictures of the two of you while on your outing, while octavia is stuck at home with stella…
𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞
once millie finds out your going to loo loo land for her birthday, she’s over the moon!! she gets packed and dressed up and everything!!
she gets all excited like a little kid, she’ll be the first one rushing you both to any sort of ride, kiddy or not, or any of the game booths
honestly, it’s very heart-warming and sweet to see this grown ass woman get excited about a theme park, and i’m not even kidding
though she won’t hesitate to tear anyone apart who even thinks about ruining her birthday date for either of you…
i do not permit for my work to be reposted, translated, or stolen. all rights go to signedmio. characters are not mine, unless stated, and belong to their rightful creators.

Too Soon (Partners in Crime, Chapter 8)

Following the success of the Hex Coil project, Jayce and Viktor present to you an unexpected request: A meeting with Vi.
It's over a celebratory dinner, just the three of you, at one of your usual haunts in Piltover, where you get the inkling that Jayce and Viktor are acting just a tad bit strange.
At first, you think it's just cause they're nervous about the report you'll need to file with the council about the Hex Coil project. Maybe they were running scenarios in their head that the council will want to monopolize its use, and charge people a shit ton just to be able to install it; or worse, a subscription service.
But as you're wolfing down one too many salted egg calamari, it occurs to you that this kind of jumpy behavior is often associated with them needing a big favor from you. Like the time you had to do the company's books, or when they told you that they had volunteered you to look after Poro while Heimerdinger's was away.
"Alright," You start. Jayce stops mid-drink of his beer, Viktor mid-chew of his noodles. "Spit it out."
Viktor immediately slurps more noodles, and shrugs, leaving Jayce to fend for himself. Your eyes flit to Jayce, waiting for him to fill you in on whatever he and Viktor were avoiding.
"Uhm—well." His eyes dart around the restaurant, as if something would swoop in to save him. Viktor, finishes up chewing his noodles, and sighs.
"Violet would like to speak with you. I think it is a horrendous idea, but Jayce thinks you should go see her."
"Oh."
"Woah, hold on a second!" Jayce holds his hands up. "I'm not going to try to talk you into seeing her. That's purely up to you, and whatever you decide, we support."
"But?"
He looks off to the side before back to you. "But, my own personal opinion, she seemed sincere in wanting to speak to you."
"She also told us about what happened between you and Powder." Viktor cuts in, earning him a Hey! from Jayce. He shrugs in response.
You lean back on your chair and cross your arms, eyes darting between the two of them. On the one hand, You couldn't say that you were keen on speaking to her, seeing as she's Jinx's sister and they tell each other everything. Jinx telling her about your shouting match isn't really out of character. On the other hand, you do feel like you owe her for what she did for you at the party.
The more you think about it, the more surprised you were that you aren't completely abhorred by the idea. It looks like the high from a successful Hex Coil test deterred any and all bad mood swings, no matter what they were. Except with Jinx, you were still pissed about that.
"Yeah, okay." You say as you shrug.
"We completely understand—"
"Totally valid—Wait what?"
"I beg your pardon?"
You wish you could pull your phone out and snap a phot of their agape mouths, but you decide to take the high road and answer them first. "Yeah, okay. I can talk to Vi. When does she want to meet?"
It's Jayce who recovers first. "Really?"
"Yes, Jayce."
"You heard me correctly, didn't you?" Viktor says, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes Viktor. Vi wants to speak with me, I'm willingly agreeing to."
He sits up straight. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Well, do you know why she wants to talk to me? That would help me decide whether it's a good idea or not." They both shake their heads.
A thought occurs to you, and you grin. "You two weren't banking on the Hex Coil working before telling me this, were you?" They shake their heads and quickly try to dispel any notion that they would do that, and you laugh. "Alright, alright. Would you have told me this if it didn't work?"
"Probably not."
"Definitely not."
"Fair enough."
Vi wants to talk, huh? The more the thought sits with you, them more curious you get. What did she even want to talk about? Did Jinx ask her to speak with you? Probably not, you muse. Even though Vi was her closest confidant, Jinx's pride would never let her ask her sister for help in this department.
Your face sours momentarily at the thought of Jinx, but you're able to recover quickly enough, turning your attention back to Jayce and Viktor.
"Well, I guess I'm okay with speaking with her. Besides," You shrug, "I kind of owe her for the whole party thing, might as well hear her out." Viktor sits back in his chair, seemingly gauging whether or not you're being genuine. Jayce is tapping his finger on his beer glass, waiting if you're going to say anything else. The former sighs.
"Well, I guess, if you believe that this isn't for any nefarious reasons, you could go see her."
You stifle a laugh. "Why would you think that she'd have nefarious reasons to speak to me." He shrugs and takes a sip of his wine before muttering You never know.
"So it's settled, then." Jayce says. "I'll let her know that you're okay to talk. She left me her card," He slides over Vi's business card to you. "Said you can text her what time you're available, and she'll adjust."
You take the card, flipping it through your fingers. Detective Sergeant it read, and you whistle at the rank. "Someone's moving up in the world."
"Not as much as you'll be moving up once we get the Hex Coil up and running." You grin at Jayce's words. It looks like the success of the Hex Coil not only boosted your mood, but could immediately make you forget about whatever else you were previously talking about.
"To the fucking—ow! Sorry." You rub the spot Viktor slapped on your shoulder, as he nods towards the customers that turned their heads your way. "—to the Hex Coil." You say, voice a few notches quieter, and raise your glass.
"To the Hex Coil." Your mentors say.
---
"I don't know about this."
"Well you won't be able to tell anything with your eyes closed—ow!"
"You're not helping, Mylo!" Your grip on the tree trunk tightens as Vi continues to scold Mylo. You hazard a look at the squabbling teenagers, all standing on a thick tree root, big enough to hold the weight of several adults, safely; across a huge river crossing, too huge for you to jump over!
"I'm just saying, even Powder made it across." Mylo retorts, gesturing to Powder, who was also trying to coax you to jump.
"I don't think I can make it." You say, turning your head to hide in the trunk. As long as you can't see the river, it can't hurt you.
"You'll be fine! I got you!" Violet calls out. You turn your face away from the trunk, and blink.
---
"I got one chicken, one beef gyro with fries to go for number nineteen!"
You look up from your phone as your order is announced. Despite the long queue of people during the lunch rush, you were hardly deterred from ordering your favorite--cholesterol infused, according to Viktor--lunch items. Despite Viktor's warning faintly echoing in your mind, and the fact that this particular food truck is way too far for you to make it back to the office in time, you don't mind making the walk there. After all, Jayce did give you the option to have the afternoon off, since you had a personal errand to run.
"I had drinks with those?" You tell the server as you hand him your number. A scrawny looking kid with a mop of red hair, can't be older than sixteen, shuffles around the bag and inspects the receipt.
"Oh sorry" He says. A tap on his shoulder prompts him to step to the side as a large burly man comes into view through the window, handing you two sodas.
"Orange and root beer?" The man says to you. You grin as you take the sodas and the bag of food.
"You know me too well, Jericho. Thanks!" Jericho winks at you before waving you off, looking over the new orders that had just come in for the truck. Just as you're about to head off to the side, you hear someone call out your name.
You turn and spot the source of the voice, donned in her Enforcer uniform, with her shiny badge on her waist.
You'll never admit this to Vi, of course, but you spent a good chunk of the week running through how you were going to start this conversation. All the introductions you could make without you looking like a complete idiot. You weren't exactly on good terms with her—you were on terrible terms—before your confinement, and even when your circles intermingled again, neither of you made an effort to seek the other out. Between that, what she did for you back at Jinx's party, and now the invitation to talk—you weren't sure how you were gonna go about the entire ordeal. You decided to play it off how you would meet up with Viktor or Jayce. Whatever that meant.
"I got us food." You raised the bag and two sodas, an offering of peace. Vi eyes the bag, then the food truck, then lets out a small smirk.
"Some things haven't changed, I see." She grabs the sodas from you, freeing up one of your hands. You see through the air of nonchalance; she's following your lead.
You shrug. "Jericho's the best."
"Indeed he is."
A beat of silence passes as neither of you know what to say next. Vi shuffles in place, and you rub the back of your neck.
"The park's still there-"
"You know the park-"
You pipe down at the same time, before you chuckle, the tension around the both of you easing up.
"The park then?" She asks.
"Lead the way detective." You nod to the direction of the park. Eventually falling in step with Vi.
It's a short walk, and there weren't a lot of people around since most were scrambling to finish lunch and get back to work. There's a slight charge to the silence that settles over the both of you as you head to a set of monkey bars and some old seesaws.
You look over to Vi, who shrugs and hands you the sodas, before hoisting herself up on the bars. You hand her your lunch and pull yourself up, settling next to her. She hands you your food and soda, and you both eat in relative silence.
"So, want me to just rip off the band aid?" She says after a while.
To be honest, you thought that was how she was going to start the conversation, but you decide to not comment that, and instead nod your head. "Yeah… I mean, I'm really curious as to why you wanted to talk in the first place."
Vi is sat in front of you, but facing away and staring off at something on the ground. Nevertheless, she lets you know that she's listening by nodding her head.
"Have I angered the fuzz?" She snorts at your question, mid-chew. "You thought I wanted to talk to you cause my sister ran her mouth?"
You shrug. "It's either that or what you did for me last month at the party."
---
"You'll be fine!" Vi shouts at you again. The others have started walking ahead, looking for some place more comfortable to rest.
"What if I won't be? What if I don't make it and fall into the river?" The offending river apparently hears you, and you swear the volume of the water rushing through increases.
"I'll catch you, don't worry about it! Just… Take a breath, and run and jump!" She beckons you over with her arms.
The river is scary. Very, very scary. Too wide to jump for you. But Vi sounds like she's sure about being able to catch you, and it's not like you can find your way back on your own if you turn around.
You look over to the older girl, and she smiles at you, nodding her head over.
"Okay!" You manage.
"Alright! Just…whenever you're ready."
"Okay…" You cling to the tree for a few more seconds.
"…Any time now, bud." You make a face, resigning to the fact that you have to actually jump, and not just agree.
You hesitate for a moment, heart thudding in your chest as you slowly inch your foot forward, little by little. Eventually, you're far enough where you have to let go of the tree. Your hand tries to stay connected to it as long as possible, eventually your fingers being too far to be able to touch.
"Good." Vi moves forward from where she is on the root. "Now just, jump when I count to three."
You nod and let out a breath, steadying yourself for the leap.
"One-"
---
"Hey, you still here?" Vi reaches over and snaps her fingers in front of you. You swat her hand away.
"Yeah, sorry, drifted off there a bit." She holds her gaze at you for a bit before nodding. Now wasn’t the best time to push the subject, not when this was your first chance to actually talk.
"So…why did you want to talk?" She leans back a bit, her legs idly swinging from under her. She looks a bit ridiculous doing it in her enforcer uniform, but you bite your tongue. That's something old chums would say. No sense of familiarity, not between the both of you.
"The party, actually."
"Hm." You purse your lips. You're surprised by your own reaction. Initially, you thought that you'd be okay discussing it, that your curiosity—and the high from the Hex Coil—would be enough of a cushion for your mood. But apparently, there's still a smidgen of bitterness at the thought of it.
Vi looks over to you. "You sure you're okay talking about it?"
"Rip the band aid off, right?" You say, taking another bite.
She nods. "Rip off the band aid…" A sigh, as she sets her food down on her lap and dusts off her hands. "I like to think I saw you at the worst part of your life." Oh wow, she was actually ripping off the band aid. "But the party… I've never seen you so angry."
You stop mid-chew, considering the implied question in her words. No one had ever described you as a violent child. And you weren't an angry teenager, either. Even with your troubling history with substance abuse, you were never violent with anyone. Your first outburst had surprised even you. It earned you a beating from the officers back in the day.
"A lot happened in between, Vi." You take a swig of your soda. "I tried figuring that stuff out with a therapist, she said it was a lot of unregulated emotions that kind of overflowed—which I think is utter bullshit." She snorts at your remark. "Cause we supposedly worked through all of those issues. But clearly the party shows otherwise."
"When did it start? Was it someone messing with you in juvie?"
"I got messed with as much as all the other kids did." You shrug. "I can't tell you how it started, really. It just happened one day, then I was angry all the time."
There's a look in Vi's eyes you know too well. Pity. It was a look that Jayce had thrown at you a lot when he first heard your story, not long after the two of you met. It wasn't his fault he had such a terrible poker face, but you still eventually told him off and stated that you didn't need his pity. Mel had thankfully only looked at you with pity a split second before keeping her face neutral. And Viktor had never looked at you that way at all.
"You know," You start. "I used to think I was angry because I thought you narc'd on me." Her eyebrows furrow at you.
"You thought I narc'd on you and Powder?"
"I did until I remembered that she also got arrested." You take another bite of your food, chewing thoughtfully before continuing. "As much as you hated that we were using, you'd never ruin her future for it."
"And she didn't have some hotshot councilor that saw potential in her and plucked her out." She adds dryly.
"It's not my fault Mel saw potential." You add air quotes as you say it. "Anyway, the bottom line is, I don't know why I got angry, I just know it happens if you bring up mum dying or anything related to it."
"Your birthday." Her remark catches the both of you off guard, and you have to take a breath. "Yup, that too."
A few minutes of silence pass, the both of you quietly eating your food. Vi doesn't follow up with any questions about your time in juvie, and you're thankful for it. The last thing you wanted to talk about was getting beat by discipline officers or getting your head dunked into a toilet.
"I'm sorry." She says finally. You turn to her, and you're surprised by the sincerity in her eyes. "That all of that had to happen to you. And that I cut you off all those years." You scoff at the last part.
Your answer is immediate, straightforward, rehearsed. "I think I would've done the same if—"
"You were a kid." She interjects, but it doesn't really change your sentiments.
Enough time should have already passed for you to not be bothered. You know you shouldn't be bothered, but your jaw still tightens. "I was old enough to know right from wrong."
"Still—"
"I made peace with that part, Vi." You say firmly, more to convince yourself than her. There was no need for any of you to dwell in the past. "Besides, it got me here. So I guess—I guess it worked out in the end."
She holds your gaze, looking for any cracks in your resolve. The moment passes when she sighs deeply, still in obvious disagreement with you. But she doesn't push the subject, and another stretch of silence passes between you two.
"Mylo and Ekko are sorry, too." She settles.
"Really?" You ask sarcastically.
"They are." She insists, turning fully towards you. "I know Jayce and Cait told you to steer clear of them, but it was me who asked them to do that. You know, while I tried to get them to see sense."
"Why are they suddenly so sorry?"
"Because they realized they were being outright dicks? Especially since they haven't seen you in years?"
A snort. "Or you twisted their arms."
She shrugs, a smirk playing on her lips. "Maybe, maybe not. But they're sincere, I swear."
You feel yourself relax a bit, the tension in your shoulders dissipating. "I'm sorry for what I did at the party." Vi purses her lips, before nodding. "You shouldn't have beat the crap out of those two, but you shouldn't be apologizing, either."
The two of you finish off your lunches as a comfortable silence settles over the empty playground. Judging by the lack of people running around the sidewalk, you guess that it's probably well past lunch time, and at some point, you should be heading back to work.
Right on cue, your phone buzzes. A message from Jayce.
Do you need the afternoon off? It's fine if you do.
"Do you need to be getting back?"
A shrug. "I probably should."
Vi nods, jumping off from the monkey bars and dusting herself off. You follow suit, and the both of you are left at an awkward point where you have to say goodbye.
"Listen." She starts. Shuffling around on her feet. "Thank you, for agreeing to meet with me. I know this wasn't easy for you."
"You caught me at a good time, actually." She raises an eyebrow at you. "We had a breakthrough at work, so I was in a really good mood when Jayce and Viktor told me about this."
"Oh. Would you not have met with me if you just had a normal day at work?"
"Maybe? I think still would've. This conversation was kind of long overdue, yeah?"
"Yeah. That and…" She trails off a bit, but you wait patiently as she tries to find her words. She stands up straighter, and looks you straight in the eyes.
"I want to fix things."
She waits for a beat for you to react. Not that you could, the words were still processing in your head. "I know it's been years, and I've also been a complete dick to you in the last few months, but I wanna try and make up for it… For all of it."
You blink, then blink again. The shock on your face must be obvious, because Vi is quick to put her hands up in a placating manner. "Only if you want to. I'm not gonna force us all to go back to how we were when we were kids. I don't know if we can go back to how things were. But I'd really like to try, at least, and the guys would too."
Whatever initial expectations you had prior to meeting with Vi, whatever guess you could've made on why she wanted to meet, this definitely wasn't in any of them. After all the silence—and the minor hostility at times—here was an olive branch; a request to start over.
You like to think that any self-respecting person would turn down her offer. Anyone who's been cut-off then treated poorly should know better. People are only ever in your life for as long as they need to be, and clinging onto old memories and feelings is unneeded, cruel to yourself, even.
---
"I'm sorry I couldn't jump, Vi."
"Don't sweat it, kiddo."
You look over to her, checking to see if she's upset. She was looking forward to this trip, after all. "You're not mad at me?"
"F'course not." She nudges you with her shoulder, mouth half-full of food. "Why would I be mad?"
"Cause I wasn't brave enough to do it?" She scoffs, inhaling the rest of her sandwich. "So you weren't ready to jump over a river, you'll be ready one day. Maybe not tomorrow or a week from now, but one day."
You consider her words as you take a tentative bite from your own sandwich; packed by your mom for the trip there. "What if I'm never ready?"
A shrug. "Then we don't go over this river."
"But what if the others want to jump over?"
"They can jump over, me and you can hike around it."
"Even if you want to jump over?"
"I'd rather all of you safe and having fun."
"Even if you can't jump over this river forever?"
"Even if I can't ever jump over this river forever."
You smile sadly at her, shoulders slumping slightly. "Mum's boyfriend says I'm a sissy sometimes."
"Yeah, well. He's a dick. Don't ever think you have to do something you don't want to." She ruffles you hair and sits back on a tree, before squinting at something in the distance. "There they are. Told you they'd come back for us… or at least for the snacks."
You follow her gaze and spot your friends waving over to you, their loud voices already bouncing off the trees. Vi stands up and starts walking towards them, before turning back to you. "I'll always be there for 'ya kiddo. Alright?"
---
"And Jinx?"
A shrug. "Eh, she's a big girl now. You're issues with each other are yours."
You snort. "Does she know you're doing this?"
"Yeah, duh. She'd kill the both of us if I didn't tell her about it first." "And she's fine with this?"
"She said I could do what I want."
you narrow your eyes slightly. "So what, are you gonna have a family dinner and invite me over, or something?"
"Actually," She takes the bag of wrappers and empty sodas, walking over to a trash bin "I don't know if Jayce told you this yet, but we're all going camping next weekend."
You raise an eyebrow at her. "Camping?"
"Yup, the guys wanted to go, so I invited Cait, Cait asked if she could invite Jayce..." Vi continues to ramble on how Jayce said yes and invited Mel, but that Viktor had turned him down.
Stuck in the middle of the wilderness with people you aren't on the best terms with—sans Jayce and Mel—for an extended period of time, sounds like a terrible idea. Anyone in their right mind would immediately say no, also, your ex—did you two break up? Were you officially dating?—was going to be there. A bad idea, very bad idea.
Almost as bad as jumping over a river.
"I'll... I'll think about it."
Vi stops mid-sentence, eyes wide. The hopeful glint in her eye is evident as she lets out a breath. "Really?"
"That doesn't mean I'm leaning towards a yes, Vi."
"No, yeah, totally, it's fine." The hope fades a bit, but you still see it. "Just... Let Jayce know, yeah? And he'll let me know?"
"Sure, Vi."
She wipes her hands on her pants, a pensive smile on her face. "I'll uh, see you around?"
You mirror the smile she gives you. "I'll see you around."

Reading TGCF: Chapter Nine

For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

I was debating aloud today which tea I should have when my partner stopped me. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "you know which tea you want" and ofc she was correct. We both had masala chai with milk and sugar.
I will drink all of it until my pot of spices run out. I stand that this is peak winter tea.
Tea aside- let's go chapter nine!


(first off- ignore all of my penmanship in this photo, I had to refill my pen partway through this page so it's looking a little bit rough LOL).
And we have the ship name in the title! I hope cute things happen this chapter :'3 p279
I am absolutely NOT into this garden face's tongue!!! What the fuck p279
My guy, a secondary location is really never a good sign. Those soldiers of Banyue are intense! p281
Why am I over here feeling bad for the garden face. Poor guy has been sort-of-dead for so long, seeing his own body now is causing him body dysmorphia. pp282-283
This pit is actually horrific. They definitely get tossed in here, no question about this chapter's plot, but OMG it's built so terribly- hanging corpse and all. p286
ofc Xie Lian is over here sacrificing himself without a thought first. p288
Well shit. The traitor wasn't A-zhao. Based on the sound they made, this kid is probably super dead t the bottom of this pit. p289
My heart! oh no, sweet baby. Xie Lian's reaction to San Lang jumping into the pit :((((((((((((( p292
I am assuming San Lang has left the building and Hua Cheng is here now. The way he caught Xie Lian- SO CUTE. p296

Xie Lian: Hey san lang, can you put me down? "San Lang": no. Xie Lian: ?? "San Lang": it's dirty. p298
"It's not important whether you are human or not" :'3 my heeeaaaart p299
oof. okay and then after these sweet words he immediately hits him with a "friendship shouldn't be determined by..." my guy. This man wants you as his husband. p300
ooo! The intrigue! Who actually are the two wandering the streets of Banyue if the Preceptor of Banyue is with them rn. p302
I love Hualian and the Banyue General trauma bonding over the preceptor of Banyue right now. Both of them united by the same enemy. p305
This is what I absolutely love about MXTX. She makes such interesting morally grey stories and characters. I love how she so often makes the "villain" of the story, in this case right now general Kemo, feel straight forward until they really aren't. Once you get to the "villain's" side of the story you're like- huh I see what you did, why you did it, and how it makes sense. Like this guy was really just protecting his family the only way he new how to, or was even able to. pp310-311. I just love how complicated everyone is and how rounded each character- even if they are the grossest garden face man- are.
omg. I thought the situation with the "General's tomb" was just a coincidental story not that it actually was Xie Lian LOL oh no. p318
Not the Hua Xie! Meanwhile San Lang is probably swooning that this guy took his name. p319
Xie Lian: I was so embarrassed that I felt the need to fake my own death. like same bro XD been there. p321

Okay but now I'm curious as to why the snakes no longer obey her. As a side but also on this page, I do hope Fu Yao has some character growth. This kid takes everything at face value when there is clearly a fuck ton more going on. pp325-326 I do not think this girl is evil!
NO THANK YOU! :((((((((( The highly poisonous snake rain!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOPE. p327
Fu Yao my boy, please think things through
This guy is getting mad at the wrong people and about to narc on Hua Cheng.
I am not ready for the next two chapters. They are the last two in the book and I have a sneaking suspicion shit is about to get fucked.

Hehehe. Part two baby! Be prepared! (Pun absolutely intended) Also, to the people who are yelling the the tags, I love you guys! I read them all and I can't say thank you enough. It genuinely means a ton!🩷🩷🩷
Enough of me being sappy,
🌻Savanaclaw🌻

Disclaimer: Savanaclaw is like lowkey my favourite dorm, not in terms of redesigns but I love the characters. Huge Leona fan and Jack and Ruggie are my children so I will not stop talking about them. You have been warned.
First up, though y'all have seen him already,
♟️Leona Kingscholar♟️
(he/him) - Unlabelled but doesn't care about gender


I snuck in a lil treat of my work in progress housewarden card. The jumpscare it was to toggle my version with the og card underneath, y'all. Am I making my version of pretty much all his cards? Yes. Will they ever be finished? Who knows? Anyways, onto the headcanons...
- Physically, I feel like I changed a lot and not a lot at the same time. I gave him some more scars which I guarantee you are from really stupid accidents.
- Piercing on his ears just cause I felt they fit him and snakebites because (I'm so down bad for them) it gave the illusion of fangs even with his mouth closed. Gave him moles cause they're pretty.
- I textured his hair and gave him a shit ton more because if the og design won't AT LEAST give him fluffier hair, what's the point? Yana Toboso, if you don't give this man a high ponytail in the Clubwear Card, I will hunt you down. Also made his front, larger braids the colour of Cheka's (And presumably Farena's) hair because honestly? They didn't really look similar enough? Also threw in some smaller braid to 'tie' them in more (haha).
- Someone gave him like this cool inverted pupil due to a scene in the movie but I simplified it to basically heterochromia.
- This might be hardly noticeable but I give give him slightly more muscle? I felt it suited him more idk.
- Onto non-physical headcanons, he has 💕depression💕! This is kinda not up for debate given how much he exemplifies the symptoms. Hell, he made me realise that I may have depression cause I was like, "Damn, he's so relatable, not wanting to get out of bed, no motivation to do anything, struggling to care of himself. He just like me frfr- oh..."
- By the way, I see a lot of people talking about Ruggie's reaction to the fallout of Book 2 but I think that on Leona's side, he felt horrible and probably locked himself away for a WHILE. I think his mental state must have been terrible and I'm SO PISSED HIS FCKING PROBLEMS NEVER GOT BROUGHT AGAIN WTF! Well, I'm on Book 4 so maybe???
- Anyways, I saw someone posit he could also be autistic, more on the asymptomatic side which is actually growing on me a lot. Picky eater, doesn't like tighter clothes, not fond of loud noises, smaller things but I'm a fan.
- Really random but I like the idea that he's one of those people who kids love for literally no reason, he just doesn't like to be around them.
- Is actually extremely book smart, though that's kinda already canon but I mean this bitch was a nerd when he was younger. Knows way too much on various topics, especially about his homeland.
- He can purr. I know lion's can't but there are literal mer and fae. He's just a big kitty. My and Idia like 🤞 when it comes to thinking of Leona as just a big meow. I have a cat who doesn't like anyone but I'm her favourite, I could win him over.
I could talk about him for sooooo long tbh so I'll shut up now.
Anyways, now for my boy,
💸Ruggie Bucchi💸
(he/she) Bigender - Biromantic Asexual

God I love my bigender child.
- I made him black, though probably mixed and gave him vitiligo for both visual flavour and a mild(?) reference to like hyena spots?
- He originally was going to have her hair down but then I realised how many of them had their natural hair already so I gave him dreads? I'll have to render them out at some point.
- Gave her more scars too, since she grew up in a more rough environment. Made his eyes really big and cute 'cause I feel like she can get extras when she hits 'em with the puppy eyes.
- Probably got mad ADHD, has to constantly be fiddling with something or another. Wears spinny rings a lot. He's actually really good at paying attention in class and likes to learn.
- Steals from Leona, whether it's money or items or clothes he leaves out (which, while Leona would never admit, he purposefully leaves out for Ruggie).
- Oh and a post pointed out that hyenas can purr, so have fun with that.
That's mostly it for now, but expect this list to grow lmao.
Now for,
💪Jack Howl💪
(he/him) - Queer (he doesn't know lol, just knows he likes dudes at this point)

Not me struggling to find a weight emoji (I failed) 😭😭😭
- Ah, I made a reference in the Heartslabyul post about my concern about darker skinned characters with white hair and I was mainly talking about Jack. I also had to make Kiki, and I figured that wolves have pretty naturally salt-and-pepper hair, so why not. I actually love how it looks omg, it's very pretty and marbled.
- Gave him darker skin, since I headcanon him as black but I did see someone who designed him as indigenous so it might change in the future idk. Also it makes his eyes almost glow and I love that for him.
- He gets more scars too, though likely from sports rather than fights or anything.
- He's autistic. Apologies that so many of them are autistic to me, not only am I autistic but like, the way they're written speaks to me. His whole moral compass being the reason for Book 2 playing out like it did was an immediate 'yes' from me. He's my boy and my son and I will fistfight anyone that smack talks him (looking at those Savannaclaw NPCs in one of Deuce's vignettes).
- Oh, I forgot. He listens to K-Pop. I don't know if it?s canon that he has younger siblings, though I totally think he does, but one of them accidentally got him into K-Pop and J-Pop so whenever he's at the gym, that's what he's listening to lmao. Specifically girl groups, he likes them enough that he knows all their names. He insists it's out of respect, which it is but he's also lowkey a stan too lol.
- Generally has a weakness for cute things, even if he doesn't show it. Also a total plant nerd omg. He could instruct you on pretty much any houseplant on how much sunlight and water it needs, seasonal changes, etc.
Final note is that I'll make a separate post about him and Epel, cause I love them and have some headcanons there too.
Now for my ocs!
💎Kiki Adebayo💎
Third Year - (she/her) Transfem - Aromantic Demisexual Sapphic

- Twisted from Rafiki? I think that's his name, the baboon. I'm crying sobbing throwing up that you can't see her eyes in this.
- She got the white hair since the fur on a baboon is directly white and took inspiration from Dislyte's Isis design. Her eyes are a pale gold like her earrings and she has red to blue eye shadow.
- Natural resting bitch face but she's just tired most of the time. She'd probably be the actual vice housewarden as I think her family has been close to Leona's for a long time, though she earned her spot with her own skills.
- Additionally, I wouldn't call her and Leona 'childhood friends' but she's known him for a long time. She's like, concerned about him as he's changed so much but she also worries that it's not her place. As a result, she tries to make sure Ruggie's not taking on too much and handles most of the dormhead duties herself.
God, she's so pretty omg anyways
👟Mandisa Jelani👟
Second Year - (they/she) Demi-girl - Pansexual

- Mandisa is also based on the hyenas, though I don't know if her and Ruggie are from the same pack necessarily.
- I gave her scars, moles, and some piercings as well, I just felt like they'd suit her.
- I think she and Jack would be relatively similar in terms of personality, I see her being the gruffer upperclassmen. I think she'd be rather protective of the first years, knowing how harsh the older dorm members can be and she does her best to make everyone feel welcome.
Next up,
🤘Rocío Chávez🤘
Second Year - (she/her but doesn't really care) Transfem - Panromantic Asexual

You'll never guess who she's based on /j
- My girlie based on Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove! Yes, she is a big and buff bimbo? Himbo? I don't know but she's got a heart of gold and head empty.
- I wanted to keep her physique cause it always annoys me when people genderbend a character but don't keep them proportional to their og design. Mini tangent over, she so silly I love her.
- She and my Yzma character met as first years and have been inseparable since, though I'll talk more about that later.
- Not a massive ton of characterisation sine it's been a while since I've seen this movie too but I'm always open to suggestions.
Finally, my silly
🎸Abayomi Furaha🎸
First Year - (she/they/it) Nonbinary - Bisexual

- My final baby from Savanaclaw, also based on a hyena. Specifically the lil bug-eyed one, but I gave her a lazy eye instead. Not sure how well that comes across but I tried.
- She's got scars, was definitely bullied as a kid and I think that once the dorm members consider her a part of the pack, they'd be super overprotective as a result.
- That being said, she's more than capable of defending herself as she's good at various martial arts.
- She's into rock music and joined the music club as a result. Probably a drummer or guitarist as I think she's insecure about her voice.
- She and Mandisa are quite close and she convinced them to dye the edges of her hair red. Abayomi wanted touch up hers and managed to get Mandisa in on to lol.
That's all for now! Stay tuned for Octavinelle and thank you so much for reading!

i feel like sometimes people would come up with some cool headcanons and interpretations, but then they'll convince themselves that it's literally shown canon with no place for doubt and then they'll act as if everyone else is dumb for not consuming the media the way they do it
(i guess i'm guilty as well, but i'm allowed to cause i'm actually right all the time)
like the second season of arcane got tons of criticism for bad writing, and, naturally, there're people who would defend their favorite show just cause THEY interpreted it in a way that makes sense to the point that when i go to arcane criticism tag to see what problem other people have with the show i also see show's defenders who pissed not everyone sees it as they do
and um i mean it's fine, i get it, we are all the same, just in different camps, whatever. but i have a story. one time i had to do coursework and i barely touched it before the last night before deadline came. and i thought to myself "welp i really need to work on it now, i only have 8 hours left" and when i turned on my laptop and was about to open up the files the power went out in the entire building. and my laptop had a shit battery that worked for like 1,5 minutes without charging. so i thought it was kinda funny and called my mom and told her "see? the only time i decided to do something studying-related and this happens. universe must be trying to send me a sign" and my mom went like "yeah, a sign that you need to try harder! despite all the obstacles that might come to your way"
so, who out of us two doesn't have a sign literacy? is sign literacy dead? or was it just a shit unclear sign and its interpretation depends solely on the person who interprets it and their life experience, beliefs, mentality and so on?
anyway, if you think you feel the character and you can imagine their motives and goals that's cool i guess, but doesn't mean the show actually succeeded to state them in canon. if you can see just some random plot points without any actual on-screen transition between them and just understand what transitions was implied it's also really cool, but for me for example if i wanted to just have some guide points and use my imagination for the rest i'd just scroll through "imagine" tag on tumblr rather then watching an actual show that's supposed to tell the story, not key points of the story
and no, the show doesn't have to tell a viewer everything by words. but it still have to tell you everything, actually, just by all different kinds of storytelling. and leaving everything to viewers imagination isn't a storytelling. like yeah i guess i can come up with some character development that makes you go from pointing a gun at a child (when you already compromised your ability to sharpshoot) to very judgmental "why is peace always the justification for violence?" (right after you actually tell you aren't ready to withdraw your forces and half an hour early we have a cool montage of your forces being pretty violent already) but i feel like it's writers job, not mine
but hey, you do you anyway. who am i to care
in fact i actually feel you. i'll die on the hill of silco being a great dad and caring deeply about jinx. but tho we have in fact canon proof she mean the world to him (actual story actually telling us he chooses her over his ultimate goal) at the same time we don't really have a good explanation on his whole beef with vi. yeah, i still can make my headcanons about his insecurity and fear of losing jinx after she tells her something about something, but it still sounds weak and not really explained in the show. also not a great writing
okay i'm officially lost in my thoughts, gotta wrap it up somehow. let's end on the point that some of interpretations the show leaves you with this season don't make much sense and in other cases it doesn't even give you any material to interpret but straight up leaves you with the responsibility of come up with events and development of the story and characters. and while a viewer might be good at this or even enjoy it, it's still very bad writting actually
peace

(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)

*Tommy’s POV*
Starling City was basking in the early morning glow from the sun. High above in our room, the breeze lightly coming through the slightly opened window. As the curtains rustled the sun peeked inside. She was still sound asleep, but she was just as sexy. I thought back to the last few weeks when we decided we finally wanted to have a baby. We’ve been trying for two months now, but nothing has taken.
I looked down at her and smiled, gently moving a bit of hair from her face. Now was as good a time as any to go for another try. I reached over for the lube that was inside the nightstand drawer. Quietly, I put some of the lube on my fingers. I started working my cock with firm and gentle strokes so I wouldn’t wake her. With my other hand I warmed some of the lube to use on her beautiful body.
Once I was finally hard I kissed her forehead. I slowly made my way to her ear and gently nibbles, before trailing down to that spot on her neck that sends shivers down her spine. She moaned the first sign that I’ve woken her. I pulled off the covers, revealing her torso. Gently I continued my trail of kisses across her chest and around her beautiful breasts. I circle her nipples without directly attacking them and with the warmth of the blanket removed they’ve already started to harden. I then move my hand, covered in warm lube, right to the center of her pussy. I started with my normal circles around her clit, causing her to moan more. I moved my face up to her gorgeous face, locking lips in a kiss while my hand continued to work her clit. She moaned again and reached her hand out until it finds my cock.
“Oh, hey you.” She said with a small smirk. She moved her hand back and forth.
“Good morning beautiful.” I said with a smile.
We continued our mutual stoking for another few moments. Her moans slowly but steadily get more frequent. My soft grunts also get more frequent. I feel her start to tense and push my index finger inside her. I start looking for that spot that makes her quake in pleasure. After a few seconds of feeling around I find her G-spot. Slowly I push my middle finger inside and I feel her clamp down. Pushing my fingers forward I feel her squeeze me, I see her entire body begin to tense up. Her eyes roll into the back of her head. Her body starts shaking and I’m locked inside her.
“Oh shit.” She quietly whisper as she slips into bliss.
“Ah! Oh!” She moans loudly.
As she came down from her orgasm, I pulled my fingers out. I looked down at the white substance and pulled my fingers up to show her.
“Honey, you know what this means, right?” I asked with a small smile. She grabbed me and pulled me closer.
“Fuck me, baby.” She whispered in my ear.
“We’ll get to that.” I say in a soft voice.
The next few moments I continue to use my fingers on her. She came a second time, then a third. Just as I was about to push her towards her fourth time, she decided to take control. Before I even know what’s happening, she pinned me to the bed and lowered her wet pussy onto my still throbbing cock.
“I said fuck me.” She said. She was on top but hasn’t completely smothered me yet. I start thrusting in and out from under her.
I picked up my pace and she came again. I started playing with her nipples, so soft and sensitive. My thumb circles one and my tongue the other. She came again.
I feel myself starting to get close. The pleasure from her pussy starting to kick into overdrive. We both knew how we wanted the morning to end, but I wanted to savor the moment so I slowed down. I flipped us over so I was on top and stare into her pretty eyes.
“I love you.” I said as I lowered my lips to hers for a soft kiss. I slowly resume my thrusting. Within seconds, I’m back where I was. She’s back where she was. As my body begins its involuntary contractions, my thrusts speed up. My eyes were locked on hers but rolled to the back of my head. My back arches above her and a throaty groan escapes my mouth. She throws her head and her back arches as she cums again. A second later and I start cumming side her.
As I’m coming down from the high I lean down to kiss her, but she doesn’t react.
“Honey?” I asked but got no response.
“Hey you?” I asked, but still no answer.
“Honey!?” I asked getting worried and ask a bit louder. She started panting and moaning once again.
“Holy fuck!” She moaned.
“You okay, Hun?” I asked and she looked up at me with a satisfied smile.
“That was the most amazing fucking thing I’ve ever felt. I think I almost blacked out.” She said with a giggle and I joined her.
The next few moments we catch our breaths. She rolled over and lay ontop of the discarded covers, raising her cute ass in the air. I lay next to her and kissed her forehead.
“I love you too.” She said and pecked my lips. I smiled at her and gently stroked her hair.
“Hopefully we’ll have a new member in a few months.” She said and I nodded.
“I hope so too.” I whispered.

]hamlet hello, curious minds
this blog documents the ongoing effort by me to shackle HERMES, an NHP also known as specimen USB-17-23-C, and return it to its former personality, using very little professional equipment or tools.
no, you can’t know my name. call me Ham/Hamlet.
i will probably post off topic often, mostly about prefall culture (an obsession of mine). you can ask me anything, and if i don’t answer its because im on a job and someone won’t give me the fucking omnihook (im taking whatever work i can do at the moment, which sometimes involves fucking off to who knows where in a giant metal spider apparently) (I could also not answer because i dont want to).
tags are as follows:
#HERMES for stuff about HERMES.
#not HERMES for whatever isn’t.
#hams life for my life
#prefall culture for that
i think that’s it
he/it but i doubt anyone’s going to be talking about me
if you’re with union fuck off
(ooc explanation below)
hi! this is me (Medea she/her) here to tell you the true real actual deal with this blog
it is me being in character as my lancer oc Hamlet (its callsign), aka Pierce Flickin. it is trying to find stable work, and has banded together with other pilots to find work ( he also lives with them) he is ll7 and pilots a swallowtail, running basically whatever I could find to support sitting on a Lancaster and locking on a shit ton, plus technophile for fairly clear reasons. it’s currently hiding from union because of reasons related to the aforementioned reasons, as well as his last steady job. he is truly obsessed with human society predating the fall (our era and a little more), especially literature, but he gets a lot of stuff wrong. it switches between weird highbrow language and informal net-adjacent speak when he gets tired of keeping up appearances tags
#ooc <-everything out of character will ohave this
#ham speaks <-for when he speaks
#HERMES <-same as the in character explanation
#not HERMES <-see above
#hams life <-see above
#prefall culture <-see above
I'll also use generic tags for lancer and such that I won’t list here cause that sounds boring
if you wanna talk to me (Medea) then send an ask and say you’re talking out of character or use my name to address me, hopefully i’ll get back to you
#lancerrpg#lancer ttrpg#lancer rpg#lancer#lancer oc#ooc#ham speaks#HERMES#not HERMES#hams life#prefall culture

get to know your mutuals!
thank you for the tag @saradika darling!
what’s the origin of your blog title? i had an old old one a few years ago that had been around since 2013 but i love the moon and i love the moon and some days i sit outside and write beneath a full moon. doesn't happen often but i figured why not use that. it's a pretty username so i went with it.
favorite fandoms: marvel, star wars, x-men, top gun maverick, arcane, the last of us.
OTP(s)/shipname: oh god um....poolverine, timebomb (for jinx & ekko), sambucky (yes. yes.), hangster, i think that's it unless i missed one.
favorite color: green, various shades of dark red, some browns and blues too.
favorite game: jedi fallen order, battlefront ii, spiderman. (i use my brothers playstation so whatever he plays i play.)
song stuck in your head: DtMF - bad bunny & Big Love - suki waterhouse
weirdest habit/trait? being able to crack my spine like a glowstick. it freaks out my family.
hobbies: crocheting, painting, writing & reading, making playlists.
if you work, what’s your profession? unemployed babyyyyyyyy. but also i guess published writer and soon to be literary magazine editor (i hope).
if you could have any job you wish what would it be? professional/published writer. which i am working on and sorta getting closer to. but the other is being an archivist for literature and books specifically.
something you’re good at: cooking. i just know how to figure it out on my own. which helps cause no one else in my house really knows how to cook.
something you’re bad at: shutting the fuck up. i'm horrible at taking compliments and finishing things.
something you love: my family, my friends, my stray pumpkin loaf of a cat, the stories that have stuck with me, and music.
something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: star wars, moon knight, lore about my favorite characters, classic literature, and history.
something you hate: assholes, racist motherfuckers, the government, the consistency + taste of tapioca pudding, and when my food gets stolen (looking at my siblings).
something you collect: crystals + pretty rocks, tarot decks, pretty jars and vases, crystal ash trays, and skulls.
something you forget: responding to text messages. it's a constant thing even if i set reminders. i don't know how to fix it.
what’s your love language? making things for people and going all out for gifts, quality time, words of affirmation.
favorite movie/show: practical magic, almost famous, little women, fleabag, my lady jane, gilmore girls, i could keep going.
favorite food: coffee, pasta, birria tacos
favorite animal: cats & raccoons
are you musical? yeah. i was classically trained in piano when i was younger. even though i forgot a shit ton of stuff.
what were you like as a child? my family says i wasn't a kid. i was little adult. so yeah i guess not very childlike/very independent.
favorite subject at school? english + history
least favorite subject? i love science but i fucking hated chemistry.
what’s your best character trait? loyalty to those i love. i'm a ride or die for my family and best friends.
what’s your worst character trait? i am blunt and straight forward and it can come off as being an asshole sometimes. when really i just don't know how to sugar coat anything.
if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? that @soulores and i were together in person to celebrate our friend anniversary. but sadly she's at work. (we're not even that far we just don't fucking drive yet.)
if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? i'd want to meet joan didion for coffee in the sixties. and go to dinner with carrie fisher in the eighties.
recommend one of your favorite fanfics (spread the love!): i have a sideblog @djarins-riduur for fanfic love! definitely go check that out for all the good stuff.
tagging the lovelies: @/soulores @softanon @ovaryacted @avocado-writing @superhoeva @pennyserenade @ozarkthedog @karasong @ohtobeleah @fluffyprettykitty @starryeyedstories @sunflowersteves

watching "Listen" from 12 and then directly afterwards "The Devil's Chord" from 15 was the wrong decision on my part. it only made the devil's chord that much more painful. like listen isn't like an insanely good episode or anything but it. actually feels like a sci-fi show. and it has a very touching ending with clara and kid doctor.
a better comparison would be with "Robot of Sherwood" from 12 vs. devil's chord. they're both the 2nd episode of their respective doctors, with the plot being the companion's "i've always wanted to go to-" dream. both are EXCELLENT companion dreams: robin hood and the beatles. both have INSANE levels of potential for shenanigans between people of legendary status and doctor + companion. but um. one is done incredibly and the other is. not.
Robot of Sherwood: start in the TARDIS with doctor & companion. wanna see robin hood, oh but robin hood is not real - and wow, an idea held by a character in the intro scene will actually play a key role in both the comedy AND emotional charge for the entire episode! for the rest of the episode, you have robin hood as the 3rd protagonist in TONS of scenes, with iconic characters as his merry men and the sheriff making appearances. and look, an actual sci-fi thing going on! the guards are robots and they're stealing gold for their spaceship! cool!! and then the emotion-based ending of the doctor and robin relating over being legendary heroes who will only be remembered as such.
The Devil's Chord: start in unknown location with piano guy and his student. that's fine, it's setting up the plot, sure. get some fun piano playing and holy shit okay the villain is right here and just immediately showing their entire hand and purpose?? okay so they're killing people because they want music to themself. okay, they seem cool enough, there must be some interesting thing about them that we'll learn later. switch to TARDIS, wanna see the beatles, let's go!, montage of them watching famous musicians be shit at EMI studios. oh hey it's george martin the producer of the beatles thats fun!! annnnnnd he has more lines than ringo and george combined and this is basically the last time we will see half of the beatles! um. okay. i am dead serious half the beatles have about 2-3 lines between them and they only speak in 1 fucking scene. there's a cool scene with paul & doctor and ruby & john, i really liked how they explained the disappearance of music and the inherent terror everyone seemed to feel of the maestro (the villain) coming to get them. the scene on the rooftop is cool! im a pianist and i love orchestral music so i really liked that. but i was so terrified she was going to start singing at any moment because i cannot handle any more cringe-worthy songs in this show i just can't. this is not a musical. anyway, the whole episode falls apart when you realize oh the beatles arent actually what this episode is about and oh the maestro is literally just the character that you saw in the intro scene and they have no twist motive and no emotional charge and yeah they're the toymaker's kid so they're a "force of nature" and not an alien with cool science and they just want allll the music. and then there's long "fight" scenes and then john and paul save the day without saying a single word in a 15-second long total shot. and then there's a fully fever-dream level dance and song montage.
i dont know too much about peoples' opinions on 15 so far cause ive had spoiler tags blocked for months, but from what i HAVE seen, it's been really positive. am i blind? am i stupid? am i bigoted????? why dont i like the vibes of this season?? maybe im just spiraling because ive been so hyped to watch the beatles episode as a beatles fan for MONTHS and just can't cope with ringo and george being written out. ive only seen 3 episodes w 15. i so hope it gets better. please let it be better. if they do another musical number i will kill something. i will spontaneously combust.

ooc // Okay now that I've had some sleep (not enough, but some), I feel like I need to clarify some stuff for the Interview with the Vampire crowd. (I'm pretty sure that anon I got was somebody from the tags, not a mutual but... I still want to clarify for everyone.)
First, when I'm talking about characterization etc, I'm talking about the show. I write my iwtv muses from the show.
I am going to be critical of Lestat on this blog. It is not because I hate him or because I think he's the only one who does anything bad in the series. I might go a little harder on him, because fandom in general often likes to ignore what he does wrong, but please understand. I first read iwtv and tvl when I was 10 years old. I have loved Lestat that whole time. He is actually my favorite in the books. Being critical isn't an attack on him or anyone who likes him, it is just part of how I enjoy media.
Criticizing Lestat doesn't mean I think Armand or Louis or anyone else in the Vampire Show is innocent. They are fucking vampires, my guys. Especially Armand. He is like... the embodiment of sexual and religious trauma. He holds to doctrine that harms others. He lies and manipulates. I explain why he does what he does, because I know he can be difficult to understand, because he does some horrific things. I just won't pretend that he is the only character who's caused harm.
That said, I'm not going to pretend Lestat didn't do any of the terrible things he did to Louis. I'm not going to pretend Louis deserved any of it. Louis can be difficult and Louis has very deep depressive episodes and Louis has some issues he has not dealt with but... he did not deserve how Lestat treated him.
Also not pretending Armand didn't do anything terrible to Louis. They were more mutually terrible to each other, in my opinion, but terrible nonetheless. Yes, Armand was heavily involved with the trial, but I see no evidence in show canon that the scenario was very much like the book--and I see some evidence of big changes from the book. Lestat doesn't seem weak, and he doesn't seem to lift a finger to stop what's happening before it starts even though he knew what was going on enough for there to have been multiple rehearsals. Lestat and Armand could've stopped it at basically any time--Louis destroyed the whole coven when he'd just been half starved. You can't tell me Armand and Lestat, who are both more powerful, couldn't have done the same if they wanted. Armand and Lestat let the trial happen. They let Claudia die. They are equally culpable in my opinion. Of course, the show might retcon due to the nature of storytelling etc, but from what evidence we have, that is what I believe happened.
Lastly, Lestat (or anybody else) does not need to be fully in the right and good and pure and perfect to be a great fucking character. I love these characters. A lot. Enough to put up with years in and around a fandom I find very stressful and occasionally triggering. I literally own 5 versions of The Vampire Lestat. There's a reason I have tons of threads with Lestat writers. I love that egotistical jackass. Just... please know that I'm not going to ignore his faults, and I'm not going to twist everybody else's characterization to justify Lestat's nonsense.
Anyway, please feel free to talk to me directly if you want to talk out characterization things. I don't mind disagreeing; I just don't like responding to anons about this kind of thing given some of the shit that's happened in this fandom over the last 10+ years.
#so sorry to any of you who don't care about my vampires but#i mean you've been going through it on this blog already for like a week#c // armand#c // louis

Writerly Questionare
Woah okay. Thanks for the tag @winglesswriter! I'm gonna have the questions below the cut to try to make the copy and pasting easier.
I tag @chayscribbles @winterandwords @vacantgodling @the-void-writes @aether-wasteland-s @nanashi23 @televisionjester (Only if y'all want. Open tag too!)
About Me
When did you first start writing?
With actual purpose middle school. Like 6th/7th grade.
Are the genres/themes you enjoy reading different from the ones you write?
Sorta. What's actually funny is I really ain't a fan of romance but I write that shit on the side XD.
Is there an author (or just a fellow writer!) you want to emulate, or one to whom you're often compared?
I'm not really sure about that emulate part. I could list a shit ton of awesome writers though (the people I taged and many many more) Lol, I'm definitely not compared to anyone though.
Can you tell me a little about your writing space(s)? (Room, coffee shop, desk, etc.)
I'm usually writing in my room, on a crowded tv dinner table. But I write in a lot of places, including passenger seat of car. Or in the library if I'm settling on strictly typing stuff. (I usually handwrite)
What's your most effective way to muster up some muse?
Listening to music and being busy as hell.
Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and places you write about?
I think so. I have a shit ton of black characters for a reason. I'm black, it's easy.
Are there any recurring themes in your writing, and if so, do they surprise you at all?
The power of friendship, violence, we were forced to together so now we working together, and "good guys" doing bad shit too. Those are usually pretty prevalent in my stories.
My Characters
Would you please tell me about your current favorite character?
Uhhhh that's hard to decide but I guess I'll go Saz. Saz is my stud bear morpher dragged into a battle against the humans. She is stressed, bro is going through it, and she's a wrestler.
Which of your characters do you think you'd be friends with in real life?
Most of them honestly. I think I'd be more than willing to hear about Hollis's (Robots & Gardens) exploits.
Which of your characters would you dislike the most if you met them?
Cosma would get her shit rocked and I'd get mine rocked in return. And I think me and Green's anger problems would clash in really bad ways.
Tell me about the process of coming up with of one, all, or any of your characters.
They appear magically in my brain. And I obsess over them like I obsess over all of my interests. The Fucked at Five oc's were the one's that deviated the most because most of them are based on the movie Open Season.
Do you notice any recurring themes/traits among your characters?
Tough exterior but actually really soft and big women go brr.
How do you picture them? (As real people you imagined, as models/actors who exist in real life, as imaginary artwork, as artwork you made or commissioned, anime style, etc)
As a combination of as real people I imagined, comic book characters, art I made, and cartoon characters (like a banger indie animation).
My Writing
What's your reason for writing?
Teehee it's how I process a lot of things and also I have to fill the world with content I want to see cause no one else is.
Is there a specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating coming from your readers?
All of them for real. I love y'all. But any of them loving the characters as much as me honestly.
How do you want to be thought of by those who read your work? (For example: as a literary genius, or as a writer who "gets" the human condition; as a talented worldbuilder, as a role model, etc.)
A cool dude who loves to write gay dorks gaying dorkily and fighting..
What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?
Giving my character's a personality I guess.
What have you been frequently told your greatest writing strength is by others?
I've been told I can write really fluid fight scenes or I have decent descriptions.
How do you feel about your own writing? (Answer in whatever way you interpret this question.)
Lol I think it's great when it's great and ass when it's ass.
If you were the last person on earth and knew your writing would never be read by another human, would you still write?
Yep. My fanfic writing would probably be slowed even further but I'd still write whatever came to mind in general.
When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely what you enjoy? If it's a mix of the two, which holds the most influence?
Oh I definitely write what I know will amuse me. But I arguably think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes I'll see something or get a response that brings me to write. And it's bangers always.
When did you first start writing?
Are the genres/themes you enjoy reading different from the ones you write?
Is there an author (or just a fellow writer!) you want to emulate, or one to whom you're often compared?
Can you tell me a little about your writing space(s)? (Room, coffee shop, desk, etc.)
What's your most effective way to muster up some muse?
Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and places you write about?
Are there any recurring themes in your writing, and if so, do they surprise you at all?
My Characters
Would you please tell me about your current favorite character?
Which of your characters do you think you'd be friends with in real life?
Which of your characters would you dislike the most if you met them?
Tell me about the process of coming up with of one, all, or any of your characters.
Do you notice any recurring themes/traits among your characters?
How do you picture them? (As real people you imagined, as models/actors who exist in real life, as imaginary artwork, as artwork you made or commissioned, anime style, etc

hi. tried to reblog and leave a bunch of tags but made a mistake and tumblr wouldn't let me edit the post SO i took a screenshot because I WILL NOT REWRITE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY TERRIBLE TO TRY AND GO BACK TO MY NOTES TO INCLUDE THEM INTO THE TAGS BECAUSE THE APP WOULD ERASE EVERYTHING so here you have a long ass pic with a ton of tags. love u u fucking mastermind 💋
I DID IN FACT GET THIS ASK FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU SENT ANOTHER ONE OTHER THAN THE DID YOU GET THAT ONE, then I am missing one, but I got this one!
I'm so glad you think it could standalone and make sense because I went into posting this like "so many people are not gonna be able to keep up with the tense changing and the time skipping, i'm being incoherent" thank you all for proving me wrong. My writing profs taught me to believe everyone does not have reading comprehension. Perhaps we should be giving more credit to readers, me thinks.
Man, I wish Carmen in The Bear canon aligned with CK not particularly because I wish he was better but because watching S3 I was like oh,,,, did I get all that wrong? Because to me, yeah does Carmen run away from things? 1 fucking million percent. At the same time, however, Carmen is an artist and I think like,,,, he's taught, yknow? He takes direction and critique, is always how I took him-- And so like, he just compartmentalizes criticism of his character the same way he would his craft; and he fucking likes making shit better, so he transfers it to life.
I considered massively pivoting from this choice for him to accept that he needs to be better, and instead like, Bojacks it, basically, but like, I'd already done this in CK canon:
Did I emulate my own previous scene to call back to the beginning of their relationship in chapter 13? Yeah 100% I did but back on topic--
I'd already decided that this was how Carmen went about things, and to be fair, I think honestly if everyone had just let each other finish sentences in S3EP01, that entire season I think would've gone an entirely different route, but c'est la vie, that's the tragic comedy of it all.
NOW ONTO MIKEY! I think some have said they prefer this Jimmy negotiation to canon-- And to be fair, though the sobriety aspect may not have been a part of it, Mikey did say he wanted to franchise with Carmen, and that's what the money was for. Or at least that's what Carmen affirms:
god fucking jesus christ he was so much more charming in S2 what the FUCK moving ON
But anyways, I think the 10k/week thing honestly is something Uncle would do, and I guess this is me staking my bet on it. I'd like to believe Mikey was climbing his way out-- Or maybe that's more tragic? I dunno. Regardless, I adore him, so, yknow. he's the guy!
50 PLUS YEARS FOR CARMEN? YOU THINK THIS GUY COULD LIVE TO 80? BABY LOOK UP POPCORN LUNG THIS MAN WAS GETTING ULCERS AT 21 WE'RE LUCKY IF WE GET TO 60
regardless, thank you for enjoying i'm so glad that my interpretation of Mikey was enjoyed. I tried to be as like,,, accurate as possible to what I feel he'd act like out of the small scenes we've seen of him, but I also absolutely had to pull from my own oldest brother. so. i don't have issues idk what all of you are talking about.
also, I will put this in a master post of like, bits I was doing, later, because there's a fucking lot, but this is the last post I'm making before bed and I wanna get yelled at about this in my inbox in the morning nothing makes me happier:
Chapter 1! Tony Terry Tommy!
Chapter 13! Two Steps Back.
I know I'm a bitch, aren't I? I'm sure rereaders noticed this but I wanted the whole class to know.
While I'm at it, Chapter 12! Hit em with it!
YEAH BABY SHE'D BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT THE WHOOOOLLLEEE TIMMEEEEE YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH I'm fucked up for this one. I had the Cold thing planned since chapter 1 I'm so SICK with it. Yell at me in my inbox I do love to make everyone mad ngl call me Carmen cause I'm a fucking shit starter baby
thank you for your thoughts and thank you for giving me a place to yap for WAY too fucking long GOOD NIGHT OR GOOD MORNING PENDING WHERE YOU ARE!!
#yapping#ask#ashtonweon#season 3 opinions#onion wip#i say wip cause like i'm talking about the process? it makes sense shut up

[OC INTERVIEW: Eito "V"]
V: ...Are you a fucking badge?
Interviewer: No?
V: *scans* ...............I see. Go on if you must.

NICKNAME:
V will suffice. And, you may have heard of this... "Yurasaka" netrunner or som'thing? That's also me.
GENDER:
Technically cis male, but I don't care too much.
STAR SIGN:
I don't believe in star signs or shit like that, but if you really care that much, I'm a Libra - at least, this is what Misty told me.
HEIGHT:
Never checked and never cared about, but I must be taller than standard oriental people. I should ask Vik.
ORIENTATION:
Males only, better if bottom. Sorry ladies.
NATIONALITY/ ETHNICITY:
Pure-breed japanese, my parents were obsessed with this lineage. Guess I can also be considered half-american by now... Not that I like it.
FAVE FRUIT:
Bet you never heard of Hatsukoi no Kaori Ichigo. You can't find these randomly in the streets of course... Fuckin' rare and expensive, way more than regular fruits. Used to eat tons of these as a kid.

FAVE SEASON:
Between Autumn and Winter. Can't tell why I appreciate the vibe this much.
FAVE FLOWER:
There are too many, no clue. Anything, as long as it doesn't stink like hell.
FAVE SCENT:
Huh... Does the smell of new tech parts have a specific name?
Interviewer: Nope. Is it similar to a new car?
V: Kinda. I know it's a mix of gasses coming from the parts that have been treated, and expand a little over time with heat. Love it.
COFFEE, TEA, HOT CHOCOLATE:
Green tea in particular, but I do appreciate coffee. They can both be rich enough. No sugar of course.
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP:
Mh. 3 or 4, maybe...? Nah, must be less...
DOG OR CAT PERSON:
I have a cat, an old rockerboy and a fuckin' iguana if they both count as dogs.
Interviewer: ...Sorry but, this doesn't answer the question.
V: I know.
DREAM TRIP:
I know of places in north Europe where you can see aurorae... Looks so unreal, yet so fascinating, that I must see that with my own eyes.
FAVE FICTIONAL CHARACTER:
The terrorist in my head wasn't fictional, he'd be the one. Well, Japan has a pretty interesting folklore around youkai... mh. Is the Gashadokuro a "fictional" character?

NUMBER OF BLANKETS YOU SLEEP WITH:
If Johnny counts, 4. If he doesn't, 2.
RANDOM FACT:
I have no idea where my parents were buried. I know that they died and how, but nothing more. I plan to find out, visit their tomb - 'cause I'm sure it's something too monumental to ignore, stare at their awful holo faces and spit on them wishing they can come alive in their damn coffins and die again. Just for the hell of it.
This was kinda funny alright :)
Tagging without pressure: @totentnz, @koda-shoulda-woulda-but-didnt, @vince-linder and anyone that'd like to do this!

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice, romantic novel by Jane Austen, published anonymously in three volumes in 1813. A classic of English literature, written with incisive wit and superb character delineation, it centers on the burgeoning relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. Upon publication, Pride and Prejudice was well received by critics and readers. The first edition sold out within the first year, and it never went out of print.
as written on britannica.org.
listen. ok. i know it's probably the most well known of jane austen's novels but it's well known for a reason dammit. i LOVE a good enemies to lovers and i've yet to find that trope as well written as Austen has. yes yes yes i love a shit ton of enemies to lovers ships but this one is just. SO GOOD. it's believable. the main character Elizabeth is imperfect and thinks she's so smart and i adore her. i love her sisters. i love how the parents relationship with each other has influenced why the daughters are the way they are. i love the growth. i love the fact it takes place over YEARS. i could go on and on about this book i swear to god.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Achilles, "the best of all the Greeks," son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful - irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods' wrath. They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.
as seen on the back of the book.
i adore this book. i haven't fully finished it yet - i know i know why am i recommending it if i haven't finished it? simple really. it's fucking good. IT'S GOOD! it's all in patroclus's perspective which is so fun to read. i enjoy it.
The Outstretched Shadow by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory
Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked. His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells. Young Mages in training - all men, for women were unfit to practice magic - memorized the intricate details of High Magick and aspired to seats on the council. Then he found the forbidden Books of Wild Magic - or did they find him? The three slim volumes woke Kellen to the wide world outside the City's isolating walls. This Magic was not dead, strangled by rules and regulations. It felt like a living thing, guided by the hearts and minds of those who practiced it and benefited from it. Questioning everything he has known, Kellen discovers too many of the City's dark secrets. Banished, with the Outlaw Hunt on his heels, Kellen invokes wild magic - and finds himself running for his life with a unicorn at his side. Kellen's life changes almost faster than he can understand or accept. Rescued by a unicorn, healed by a female Wild Mage who knows more about Kellen than anyone outside the City should, meeting Elven royalty and Elven warriors, and plunged into a world where the magical beings he has learned about as abstract concepts are flesh-and-blood creatures...Kellen both revels in and fears his new freedom. Especially once he learns about Demons. He'd always thought they were another abstract concept - a stand-in for ultimate evil. But if centaurs and dryads are real, then Demons surely are as well. And the one thing all the Mages of the City agreed on was that practicing Wild Magic corrupted a Mage. Turned him into a Demon. Would that be Kellen's fate? Deep in Obsidian Mountain, the Demons are waiting. Since their defeat in the last great war, they've been biding their time, sowing the seeds of distrust and discontent between their human and Elven enemies. Very soon now, when the Demons rise to make war, there will be no alliance between High and Wild Magic to stand against them. And all the world will belong to the Endarkened.
as seen on the dust cover of the book.
okay. i love this series. it will always have a place in my heart. however, it's fucked. it's so fucked up. sexism? rampant in the city of the bells. demons eat others and each other and fuck each other. i wouldn't normally recommend this but it's one of my favorites because like. ok. i'm a sucker for a good story where good triumphs over evil. yes it's a conventional. yes it's like holy shit hello. but there's a unicorn named shalkan who doesn't take any shit and i adore him.
Nimona by ND Stevenson
Nimona is an Impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villany. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are.
as seen on the back of the book.
it's got ex friends-lovers?-enemies-friends-lovers. it's got mad science. it's got a chaos gremlin. it's got political intrigue. it's got found family. i love this graphic novel so much. please read it even if you've seen the movie (which is FANTASTIC by the way) it's so different and such a great and fun read.
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
The Emperor needs Necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a Swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.
as seen on the back of the book.
OH MY GOD. ok look i know it was recommended already by @eloquentspeeches but goddammit this series is too good not to mention. it's actively rewiring my brain chemistry. i sleep and i see red string where i'm trying to figure out what's going to happen before the book tells me. the characters are so well written. they leap off the pages and Muir is so good at getting you to learn about the world through the eyes of the pov character. i'm going insane. please read the locked tomb series. please please please it's got gay necromancers and mystery and it definitely will not make you close the book to lie down on the ground for a few minutes i promise-
this is no particular order because frankly i can't really. be assed to put it in one. now. who to tag. I CALL UPON YOU: @boilingheart, @wickedbrony, @zanderthebookworm, @thunderstar-supernova
#tag game#oh good lord that took me ages#i hand typed some of those synopsis. im normal#is there a plural for synopsis?#anyways enjoy#or don't#thanks for tagging me eso <3#this was fun!
