What are your top fave Percabeth moments (as many as you want). 😄😄
Hiii @emilia9622 👋! thanks for the ask!
oooh I like this question 😆 so here are my fav percabeth moments in the order of the books. also disclaimer: some really popular loved moments may not be here, but thats just because I wanted to focus on my favourite underrated moments. don't attack me!
the whole arc of their developing friendship in TLT
when percy mentioned that he and annabeth did dishes in som together and talked dirt about the new camp counsellor guy (who was he?) it really shows their friendship and their combined sass, and I want to hear that conversation in the show.
"you're a genius" (my delusional trait is thinking that annabeth heard it and no one will convince me annabeth didn't hear it)
slow dance at the end of ttc and all the scenes before that!! (I CANT WAIT TO SEE THAT ON SCREEN IT WILL BE MAGICAL)
another underrated cute moment from ttc: annabeth looking at percy gratefully after he saves her and him looking away shyly. I just think it's cute
"if i had to choose someone to re-attach my head, I'd pick you" he really thought he was doing something 😭 and annabeth FELL FOR IT SO GOOD, i cackle each time I remember it.
the second half of the staff of hermes is percabeth perfection. Paris date paris date paris date paris date ahhhhh
underrated moment in tlo: when annabeth almost fell into a hole and percy pulls her up and they just hold each other for one sec before percy does the verbal equivalent of a keyboard smash and then grover and thalia being like "GUYS LETS GOOO WE HAVE A WAR TO WAR👏" it's one of my favourites of all time. it's tartarus (good ending). it's the prequel to tartarus.
Giving up immortality 🥹
annabeth keeping count of the time they were searching for percy
the stables scene
the whole of son of neptune
the whole of house of hades
"THE RIVALRY ENDS HERE. I LOVE YOU WISE GIRL" THE BEST PERCABETH MOMENT EVER IN MY MIND, ITS SO SYMBOLIC AT THE SAME TIME ITS SO HILARIOUS IN A SPICY WAY UGHHHH
KARAOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
annabeth reassuring percy that he would make a great older stepbrother, pushing away all the traumas she had from her experience as a stepsister. ughhh I love her <3333

Do you have personal rankings for Japanese canned coffees? (Inspired by your non-alcoholic drink hands post)
Oooh you always have such good questions :D Thank you!
Far and away, number one with a bullet, with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, my all-time favorite packaged coffee drink ever is Takachiho Bokujo Cafe Au Lait.
Tumblr media
It is so, so, so TASTY! Of course, it's also 75% milk, so it's maybe not the kind of coffee drink you mean, but most of the canned ones are kinda of indistinguishable to me anyway. And conbini coffee is so good now—it's ground and brewed to order, for about the same price as a can, and it doesn't taste like metal 😄
Am I being a spoilsport? Okay, I used to like Georgia, if only because of their delightful Twin Peaks commercials. Which I can't recommend enough if you haven't seen them.
youtube
Finally, this is not really a concern in a city, but here's my other canned coffee hangup: in rural Tōhoku, I once bought (and drank 2 sips of) a canned latte out in an isolated area without considering the low foot traffic/vending machine maintenance frequency/the shelf life of dairy products. Over a decade later, I have not fully recovered from what I found floating in it 😂 Be careful out there!

That moment when Nikita's page says puppy play but you actually admit it's just mindbreak 😬😂
Also, I'm fairly certain E is the most popular rn simply because they're one of the only ROs at this point that actually has feelings for the MC. Usually the asshole ROs get a lot of attention, but I feel like knowing from your replies that all the other ROs just want to control the manipulate the MC really limit a lot of people being interested in them (At least rn when we can't thirst over certain scenes to ignore the red flags).
Hmmmm I can agree with you on the fact that E. is the most popular RO so far (which I'm not complaining about cause I love that sweet sweet angst huhuhu) but I think people are a little confused about the RO's? Aside from Leo and Nikita (the two most sussiest characters I've made so far) it is fairly reasonable why they want to control the MC considering they know the MC's capabilities more than anyone, and now that they're at their most vulnerable state and easy to manipulate, they can't wait to grab them first. Twenty on the other hand despises the MC and wants nothing to do with them. V. is a little sus but they got good intentions 😄 !Caesar hasn't even met MC yet 😭 as for G., well they just want to kill MC, oops, guess MC can't run away from their terrible past all the time 👀
(and oooh i'll keep that in mind when I'll be writing those scenes then! Can't have the people forget the remaining RO's can we?)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙
Oooh, thanks for passing this to me, Lizzy! 😄 Let's see....100 fics, how to choose 5? 🤔 Well all know #1 already, don't we? 😂 So I'll take a leaf out of Lizzy's book and do a countdown to 1!
5.) A Matter of Time
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 3,686. Written for Snarry Adopt-a-Prompt 2022. Features reverse chronology and alternating POVs! Also: ambiguous/open ending (my love!) It feels like the Snarry of my youth, that angsty and spicy student/teacher, and some good old fashioned tragedy! I really feel like I pulled the thing off with this one! (What is said "thing"? Who knows.) Also, not to pat myself on the back but...that final line? Ouch.
4.) Cruel Summer
Harry/Sirius. Rated: E. Words: 5,445. Minor Harry/Severus. Written for HP Chan Fest 2022-2023. Features gorgeous art by @mrviran. It's a fic I've had floating around my noggin' for a few years but finally felt the call to write for Chan Fest! Our two beloved, troubled boys (Harry and Sirius) live together post PoA, and sees them through plenty of dysfunction, manipulation, and other problematic content 🤭 They have a very complicated (and angsty!) connection and I am so so pleased with how it came out! It's very bit as spicy, sad, and twisted as I'd hoped!
3.) The Curse of Anteros
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 52,566. Written for Snarry Bang 2023. Inspired by an episode of Charmed called "Magic Hour" (which itself was inspired by a movie called Ladyhawke). This is another idea I've long wanted to write, but never knew how to write it until now. Curses, fairytales, magical animals, true love!! Begins with student/teacher and carries on through time to old men Snarry!!!! This fic really grew way out of control and I'm so glad it did. It feels like...a "proper" story, if that makes sense? Actual plot! Novel length! Who am I even???? Anyway I'm stupidly proud of this one. Also: ART BY MRVILLAIN AGAIN, MY BELOVED TEAMMATE, I'M OBSESSED. Like...idk I'm blown away. Which sounds bad cuz this is my story, but I don't care. This is genuinely a story that not only was I so pumped to create, but one that I'd have LOVED to read as a reader! Had someone else written this I'd have lost my mind reading it. I hate saying that, it sounds so arrogant, but I don't care, I'm losing my mind over this one. I wrote it in like 2 weeks!!!! This fic POURED out of me! And I love it!
2.) Collateral Damage
Draco/Ron. Rated: E. Words: 16,071. Written for Ron-Draco Fest 2021. The first draft of this got to like 10k before I had to scrap it and start totally over. Somehow the original opening kept winding down the wrong path. So finally after fighting with it for way too long (and only 2 weeks to go until it was due), I gave it up and tried again. Decided: "hey, let's open with porn and see what happens." Well...That worked. That did it. All I needed was to open with a BJ for magic to happen, who knew? I ended up with a story I was super jazzed about, and to my great surprise (and pleasure!) others loved it, too!!
1.) Contempt | Devotion
Harry/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 20,400 | 25,843. Written for Snarry-a-Thon 2022 and 2023. This one's cheating a bit since it's technically 2 fics, but it's also the same story in different POVs so...it kinda counts, right? Also I know people have told me they liked Devotion more but I can't help but admit that Contempt itself still holds the top spot in my heart! And while I think say The Curse of Anteros is a better overall story, I don't think any fic ever will top Contempt. I mean, never say never, but Contempt is the story of dreams. It's my heart and soul. It's the Snarry I've always wanted to write. The story, the dynamic, the characterizations, everything. It's everything I've wanted in a Snarry since I first began reading Snarry 20 years ago. Like...I have no words to express just how meaningful this work is to me. This is literally the culmination of all of my Snarry feels. I dragged this story out of my gut. I pulled it out of my skin and wrote it in my blood. That's how connected I am to this work. (Wow that sounds really dramatic but also...true.)
Genuinely I was so cared people would hate it, but I wrote it anyway because I needed it and I loved it. I'm very glad to say that plenty of others love it with me! And this is another one @mrviran offered love to in the form of a podfic! (Plus cover art!) I'm fully obsessed with the podfic (AND ART!) and I get all teary eyed when I think about it, that my dear friend worked so hard to bring more life to my baby. 🥹
Kinda funny how my favorite works (and what i consider some of my best works) were all for fests. Fests really do inspire me, even if they make me want to pull my hair out. 😂
Also is it cheating to give honorary mentions to Lover Boy at Play, In My Veins (In My Blood), Orange Blossoms, Teardrop in Your Palm, and Black Skies? 👀

I dunno if this has been asked or not but here we go. For character customization will we be able to have either white hair, golden eyes (maybe both?) even though the Saintess already has these traits?
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I just woke up from a long nap.
Hello Anon!
I’ve answered an ask about having white hair before (link), but not the golden eyes one and having similar physical traits to Saintess
Hmm, I’d say you can, but neither of them would be the exact same shade as Helene’s silver hair and golden eyes. Helene’s colors will look brighter and more vibrant than MC (to really sell that fairytale princess aesthetic 😅)
Oooh I’m thinking about the flavor text now, like people will definitely comment on the physical similarites between MC and Helene …
Ooooooh and the angst potential with something I have planned (not for MC though, for someone who definitely deserves the angst 🤭)
Thanks for the ask and resulting inspiration I gained from it, Anon! Hope you had a good nap 😄

Hello again!! 😄 I hope you’re having a good day!
I wanted to ask! If you had to choose which TMNT series is the best in terms of story, which would you pick? I personally adore the 2012 show! I’ve been rewatching the entire series and I’m loving it!
Thank you and have a great day! 😁
Hello there! Thanks!
Oooh that's a tough question... It kind of depends on what you mean by "story"
If you're talking pure plot, I actually think 2003 has the best overall plot, in that it is very tight-knit, streamlined, and leaves little to no dangling plot threads. I enjoy that version the least out of the animated series, but I think it's got a fantastic story structure and I wish other shows had as smooth a flow.
But if you're talking character, I think Rise of the TMNT's way of handling character development and dynamics is the best. I really like how you see some of the characters' issues in the background of their shenanigans, but then it comes out in a big way during major conflicts or fight scenes. The character's stories and progression throughout the series is fantastic, especially Splinter's and Raph's in the show and Leo's in the movie.
Then there's 2012. I'm still in the middle of my re-watch of that series, so some of these opinions might change as I go on. But while I don't think it has as tight a plot as 2003 nor as consistent character progression as Rise, I think it has the best balance between the two. TMNT 2003 focuses mostly on plot, and Rise mostly on character, but TMNT 2012 juggles the two very well and I think it's an excellent in-between because you get the best of both worlds.
(do keep in mind that this is me putting on my "critique" glasses and putting aside personal preference of said series', since you asked for "best" and not "which I liked more")
Side-note/shout-out to the 1987 version for having a plot that goes all over the place and doesn't focus on its story til later. If I could isolate specific seasons of 1987, I'd say that some had really good over-arching stories that were well-made and perhaps even better than the other three series', but as a whole the 1987 show is kind of mess [affectionate]

Hey there! I just did this really fun little challenge and thought that you might like it too 😄
-Send someone an ask with a combination of a Pedro boy and an adjective so they can respond with a 150-word micro ficlet if they'd like to play.
My challenge to you is:
Din Djarin + happy
#MicroFicChallenge
Oooh, I wanna play!
Din Djarin + happy is where I live so I am thrilled to write you a little something especially on this Mandalorian Eve! (this might be slightly over 150 words)
Tumblr media
Dusty, aching, in need of a good hot meal and a warm bed, Din hauled himself out of his starfighter and made his way to a house all aglow in the twilight. Set away from the town, the dwelling was small but cozy with a welcoming warmth about it. As he approached, happy laughter and singing seemed to beckon him closer. He watched as the inhabitants danced by the window, carefree and content, a parent and child enjoying their evening. He jogged the last few steps to the door and as soon as he unlocked it, he could hear exclamations of excitement followed by the sound of feet scurrying towards him. Next thing he knew, Grogu was jumping into his arms for a hug, while you watched the pair with joy, a beaming smile adorning your face. Jostling the child to the side, he turned to you, waiting for you to lift his helmet. You pulled him into a sweet and loving kiss, before breaking away to tell him,
"Welcome home, riduur."

Unfiltered thoughts about Court of Wanderers by Rin Chupeco
Untagged spoilers below the cut, click at your own risk
For a proper review that makes a bit more sense, see here. This is just my unedited notes I took while reading
Love that Remy and Zidan are back to being bitchy
Lol only one bed but on purpose 
Did Eugenie just fuckin decapitate a guy with her long nails are you fucking kidding me 😂
Ugh Valenbonne showing up in person. Idk if I dislike it bc he’s a hateable bastard or because it lacks believability…
The overgrown castle and night empress cocoon give big video game boss lair energy 
She‘s described with „dark skin, the same shade as Remy‘s“
Oh I‘m glad Remy is finally giving his father a bit of honest ranting about his abusive bs 👀
Lil bit cringe that the kids at the Fata Morgana would ask if Remy, Zidan and Xiaodan are lovers, and take an interest in how Zidan slakes his thirst
Remy telling the kids stories feels a bit indulgent 
Malekh offering to let Remy take control 😍
Again, very self indulgent, could do with more subtlety but well
Good to know that she pegs him sometimes I suppose 😄
They��re just so transparently horny the whole time. Like I‘m here for it but it gets cheap so quickly if there‘s extended focus on that
Ooov the villain was Aluria‘s colonialism? 👀 (remy‘s mother, re. her motivations, in his dreams)
Vampire pigeon 😂
Them arguing while fucking is funny but also a bit goofy 🙈🙈
I‘m on board with some bdsm familiar shit on display, but the presentation of it somewhere between kink and obligation is a bit off
Lady Rotteburg‘s apologies for her treatment of Remy ring a little hollow/indulgent too
I find it odd that Remy still meets with and gives info to his father‘s messenger?
Ooh okay that was in discussion with Malekh
I find it a bit toothless that xiaodan (and malekh) are so utterly supportive of remy‘s choice re. humanity/vampirism. They seem a big too perfect and potentially boring to me at the moment?
Ok good Zidan is weirdly controlling re. Remy‘s dreams shortly after
I‘m 12 Chapters in and a bit dismayed that I‘m finding it alright so far :')
Missing any acknowledgment of pressure/equalizing when Zidan drags Remy underwater 😑
Malekh‘s past with the night king 🤝 Raihn from TSatWoN
That the whole gathering of court leaders would pause to speculate on what remy has with zidan and xiaodan feels kinda cheap
I‘m here for the exhibitionism but I find it odd in its presentation. Like, ok their whole thing is submission, but it‘s still a weird af combo of a council meeting and an orgy
Like ffs her mother is watching 🙈
I just don’t love how much of the actual dialogue is so self indulgently about „oooh so a reaper is in bed with the third and fourth court leaders“. Like sure make that part of the conversation but it‘s so cheap if that‘s all there is to it
Some of the exposition is presented in sort of plump dialogue 
I‘m bothered that apparently Remy still doesn’t know precisely what being a familiar entails
Elke recapping the development between Allegra and herself feels v much like it could have been much better woven into the story :‘)
So much interpersonal stuff is just really plump. „Hi remy sorry for my lord attacking you I seriously want to be friends. Ok sure I‘ll then immediately answer your deeply personal question that perfectly mirrors your own internal struggle re. getting turned“
Ok them fucking on Ishkibal‘s throne to help Malekh make new memories of it is fun and hot
Gah why does everyone else need to keep talking about it afterwards though, including with Valenbonne 🙉
Still feel like everyone‘s being entirely too generous and forgiving towards valenbonne
I don’t mind the focus being political, but I feel like there’s too much tell vs show
Remy being hurt by Thaïs being one of the traitors rings a lil hollow, calling her a friend when they‘ve only interacted a handful of times and one of those was her being pushy af
And Xiaodan figuring out all the details of the priestess‘ plan is also a bit much? idk
Them both being in a frenzy and remy getting malekh back by insulting him is cute
The whole thing where it uses the nth court leader instead of names is so grating 
I‘m not a fan of how valenbonne is still their ally tbh
Increasingly bothered by everything that makes him appear sympathetic again
He apologizes but he‘s not really rueful about any of the horrible shit he‘s pushed remy to do??? 
This Jost twist is also kinda coming out of nowhere??
Not sure I got completely why and how Ishkibal is using the Night Empress‘ body
I do not like Valenbonne being all badass, using breaker to protect Remy etc, who is this for 😭
Valenbonne‘s „I should have died the day I realized you were still out fighting in those caves“ rings so fucking hollow what 😭😭
“I think the only legacy he wanted to leave behind was you” 
How tf is any of this earned

Our beloved hellsite runs on ducttape and chewed gum for real like a macgyver thing
I used to watch Smallville with my mom and I have sincr rewatched it a couple times. It's s bad it's camp.
Oh i used to love the cw superhero shows. I fell out around the time they did the heroes vs. Nazi dopplegangers crossover special, because seeing mt favorite heroes all decked in ss outfits was triggering to me as a Jew.
Yeah i totally get that.
Shooting star is the glee school shooting episode. It's the worst example of them butchering a serious issue but there were many (suicide, post partum depression, eating disorders...). Yeah exactly. It is an interesting documentary though. I found it curious how they barely dedicated any time to mark salling. Like usually a documentary like that would milk the scandal as much as it could, but they barely touched on it.
Lol exactly!! And thank you. Yeah me too i'm wearing them right now! They make me look like a bearded Velma. I like that.
Oh i look forward to rambling about the bike riders! Ooh my favorite marvel characters or ships... i like Spider-Man, the Scarlet Witch, Agatha, Bucky, Quicksilver, both Captain Americas, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Thor... as for ships, I ship Buck and Steve, mostly, but I also like the thought of most of the guys making out with each other. What about you? And lol i still listen to hannah montana often.
Oh SAME! I'm trying to get back into books without sacrificing much of my fanfic time. It's tricky. And you're right, fanfics are basically endless. Besides, there's the added bonus of "we already care about these characters".
P.s.: are these asks annoying you? Are they too long? Would you rather I dm you?
it really does though, and yet we keep coming back lol.
i think my parents said it got "weird" after a while, and i've definitely stopped other shows for that lol, but maybe one day i'll try it out again.
oof, yea that's understandable. i think arrow was the only one i watched all the way through and i regretted that lmao. they all lost me after a few seasons, but superman and lois has been good all around which was a nice change.
ohhh i completely forgot they did an episode on that! the school shooting ep that always sticks out in my mind is from one tree hill. yea i thought that was weird too. i think since that was so shocking and such a sensitive topic they wanted to steer clear of it? but yea you'd think for the scandal they would've been all over that.
i've thought about writing some fic for the bikeriders, but we shall see! oooh that's a great list! i love thor, bucky, venom, scarlet witch, black widow, hawkeye, echo, both captain americas, and...so many honestly 😄 i think my big marvel ships are sambucky and symbrock, but i did start reading some deadpool and wolverine after seeing the new movie lol
ugh yes!! i told myself i need to catch up on the fics i have open and then make a point to read some actual books. my goal is 20 for the year so i still have 10 to go lol.
not annoying me at all! and i am ok with whatever! i put read more incase it's annoying anyone else lol. but i am good with whatever works for you 😊

wokay, I'm here again :3c how about these two ❣️ & 🫂 ? :3c
Okay we good !! 😄😄
Answering for the Seeker 🌻 and the Informant 🔍
➳ Describe a time one of you almost took a chance at making a move on the other, only to chicken out.
Oooh good one... I mentioned in a previous answered ask the one time they were testing mechanical wings. Let us get into details... First of all, those wings were requested by the Informant, and since he had to remain hidden, he tasked Seeker to bring the plans to the Blacksmith. Seeker made one small change to the order ; she requested two pairs of wings instead of one, unbeknowst to the Informant. So obviously he inquired about it when she came back. "I... I wanted to test these too. I hope it doesn't bother you..." "It does not, I am simply surprised you would..." "Would what ?" "... Would want to do this. With me..." Under her breath : "If only you knew..." "Pardon ?" "Nothing !" They arrived at a hill with a nice slope they could jump off without getting hurt, and WEEEEEEEEEE !!! They managed to glide for a moment before rolling down the hill, and she ended up on top of him. They were laughing so much, and ended up with their faces... quite close. Their eyes met, they glanced down, their noses were almost touching... And Seeker pulled away, not really sure why. Maybe she was embarrassed, maybe she thought he was embarrassed, or maybe she was scared he would see her as wanting an excuse to see his face.
➳ What's one significant moment of physical contact you had during the pining stage?
I just talked about an important one right above, but there is another one, where there was no attempt at making a move at all. They did not know each other for long at that time. They were on a quest at night in the forest, and as they followed their map and Seeker's instinct (the latter was not exactly approved by the Informant), they ended up at the top of a small hill. "Well, look where your instinct led us..." "Hey ! It usually works !" "Do not look at me like that, you know there is a first time for everything..." "Well you know what, I–" Crack. The soil at the edge of the hill gave out under their feet and they ended up rolling down to the bottom. "Get off me... you're heavy..." "Easy to say... Hey ! Your hair is tangled in my sleeves' buttons !" "Ow ! Watch out !" The Informant propped himself up to get off her, but he immediately leaned back down. "Hey ! What the– Hmmphh !" "Quiet !" When she followed his gaze, her own eyes widened as she saw the werewolf not that far away. They stayed hidden in the tall grass, on top of each other, her breath huffing against his hand, their minds filled with fear and each other's pleasant scent (who said that /j), their wide eyes staring ahead until the werewolf went away. They just stayed like that for a few moments, just to be sure it was gone, obviously... 🤫🤫

#12 for the fic ask! (also #14 if u feel so inclined 😄)
Thank you for your ask! Appreciate you!
12) What is my favorite trope to write and why?
I really like fake dating and friends-to-lovers. Something about realizing there's something different going on, something different than friendship or partnership, I think. I like when I can make characters realize they've been reading things wrong. Fake dating is also very messy and I am know to love the mess haha.
14) Share a snippet - oooh, let's do one from P FKN R. I'm liking how it's going.
Jane closed her eyes to savor the tug of Tatiana Martinez’s teeth on her lower lip. Quickly, control spiraled, and her heart hammered. Her fingers trembled when they curled around Tatiana’s waist, and her back sweated when Tatiana put a hand flat on it. They kissed, lips on lips, tongue tangling with tongue, until Jane felt that hand move to her chest. “Jesus,” she whispered, more a feeling against Tatiana’s mouth than a sound in her ear.
“Just Tati is fine,” Tatiana teased when she pulled back. “I haven’t seen you in…”
“Five years? Five long-ass years,” Jane finished, just before lunging in for another kiss. The atmosphere of the steamy, rapidly-filling bar pressed in around them, cocooning them in with each other. 
Tatiana laughed when Jane found her again. “Stop for a second,” she said. “I’d like to think we have all night.”
“Do we?” Jane asked, eyes somehow darker and all alight at the same time.
“Don’t we? Do you have somebody to go home to?” Tatiana asked back. “You didn’t mention anyone.”
Jane shakes her head. “Nah. Not really,” she replied. “There’s a guy overseas… army. But we’re not serious. I think I might have already dumped him.”
Tatiana laughed, mouth open and a hand on Jane’s chest. “You think? You always were so messy when it came to love, papi,” she said, her accusation light, playful. When her fingers hit leather, she scrutinized Jane more directly: jeans, boots - possibly from work, a v-neck tee, and a jacket. She narrowed her perfectly threaded eyebrows. She shook her head.
Jane frowned, checked herself out. “What, I don’t look good?”
“I didn’t say that,” Tatiana replied. “You just look like you’re meeting my brother. What happened to the Jane that used to take me out? What happened to my Jane?” She was remembering Jane in silk shirts, with loud tropical prints, in dark skinny jeans, in exposed ribbed undershirts, catholic pendants around her neck, bathed in perfume. Reckless Jane - Jane chasing promotions and chasing Tatiana’s naked form all over the bed.
Jane remembered herself at that age, too. “To be fair, I had no idea you’d be here,” she said, blushing, her lips practically hanging off of Tatiana’s ear. The scent of Tati’s hair, of coconut shampoo and fruity styling products, set a symphony off against her ribcage. Knock knock knock knock. Memories of debauchery and athleticism tickled her brain before releasing in a deluge.
“Hmm,” Tatiana hummed when Jane gave into temptation and ran the tip of her tongue over the side of Tatiana’s neck. “It’s because I never know if I am gonna be here. That would be better with a shot and a little salt, you know,” she said, stepping confidently into the affection.  
“Jane!” Maura called over the music, with the tray serendipitously in her hand and Frankie right behind.
Jane jerked upright, as if just having remembered that she didn’t come to the club alone, or at least hadn’t planned to be there alone. “H-hey!” she shouted, catching sight of Maura. The visual was calming; it pulled her spirit back into her shoes when it had threatened to float above the crowd and out into the summer night. 
Tatiana, ever the extrovert, helped Maura take the tray to the small standing-room table close by. “You have excellent timing,” she said to Maura while Jane and Frankie followed along. “We were just talking about how we needed some shots! Jane, Frankie, who is this beautiful woman?”
Jane cleared her throat and tried not to use what little Spanish she had to decipher the salacious lyrics pounding into the room around them while she stared at Tatiana’s ass in that tight skirt. And then there was Maura’s tight skirt, ass and all, and…
She needed to get ahold of herself.
“This is uh, this is Dr. Maura Isles,” she said, coming up behind Tatiana, hand on her waist. “She’s the Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth, and she’s my best friend.” Jane smirked at that last part, a smirk reserved only for Maura, which Maura was happy to see preserved considering Jane was behind Tatiana and therefore hidden from Tatiana’s view. Maura smiled back just before her lips closed around the lip of her beer. 
Jane gulped. “Shit. Before we do shots, I gotta get me one of those,” she said, squeezing her way through bodies as more started to hit the floor. Maura watched her rub her entire front on Tatiana’s entire back and suddenly had the urge to tell Jane there was no more waiting. Shot time was now. 
But then, Jane put a hand on Maura’s forearm and leaned close. “Wait for me, yeah?” she said into the hair at Maura’s temple, the only way to be heard now that the music had been pumped up. “I’ll be right back.”
Maura nodded dumbly. “Sure,” she said, once Jane had already left.
“Dr. Isles!” Tatiana shouted. Her voice sounded muffled and far away, but Maura still turned toward her. Again, stunning. Close up, Maura noticed all the ways that Tatiana and Rafael looked alike: eyes set the same distance apart and burning with intelligence, full and glossy lips, the same broad and beautiful nose. Tatiana deviated from her brother in the womanliest of ways, however, with the curve of her hips and the kind of ass Maura had begged the universe for in high school. She thought she’d gotten quite a good return on her investment, but… Tatiana had her beat in both shape and bounce. Maura only had the tiniest bit of a hard time admitting it. Apparently, she had been lost in thoughts of Tatiana’s good looks so long that she’d missed her name, because it came again. “Dr. Isles!” Tatiana repeated. “I looked you up when my brother said he was working with you!” she yelled across the cadence of drums and guitars that she swayed to. 
“Oh, you did?” Was all that Maura could think to shout back, feeling bold with her beer and putting a hand on the silk of Tatiana’s shirt, right above her wrist.
“I did! Youngest person ever to be Chief M.E.! I gotta say, that’s impressive!” replied Tatiana. Maura’s brain analyzed all aspects of her with impressive speed, trying to dissect all the things that might make Jane as wrapped up in Tatiana as she clearly was. Interestingly, her Spanish accent, slight, sounded different than Rafael’s, and Maura couldn’t quite place it. Mexico? Guatemala? Distinctly American-born.
She didn’t get the chance for further study because Jane slithered against her before moving past. “Hey, I got us a round,” said Jane, carrying four beers, two in each hand. “Seemed like a good idea.”
Jane’s deep voice, loud like Tatiana’s but not feminine like hers, carried notes of the North End and its own very specific Sicilian-American leftovers. Maura gulped, chugging the rest of her beer so she could take the next bottle from Jane. “Thank you!” she raised the empty one to Tatiana in response to her previous comment, and then, more quietly, she wrapped her fingers around Jane’s around the base of the amber bottle. “And thank you,” she said, in her normal volume, relying more on the hooding of her eyes to convey her words to Jane.
Jane, already on her way to Tatiana, stopped for a moment. “Y-yeah, you’re welcome,” she said, with that Maura-specific smile one more time.

Listen. I've had The Tortured Poets Department on loop since it came out. I really really love it and only love it more with each repeat.
Tumblr media
So. Here's my First Listen Notes:
Fortnight
What a way to start an album: I was supposed to be sent away. But they forgot to come and get me.
Love the synth rise and the beat drop
Post Malone's voice sounds SO good!
The Tortured Poets Department
Like who uses typewriters anyway 😆
Who else decodes you
No-fucking-body
Oooh the drop... it's so sad and quiet 🥺
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
Oooh fun beat
I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys 😲
He saw forever so he smashed it up 😶
Daaaaaamn
Down Bad
Digging this soft music, okay
The chimes!!
THE CHORUS
So fuck you if I can't have us
The bridge instrumentation
OOOOH IT GOES OUT OF TUNE
So Long, London
The choral sound!!!
The ramp up!!!
How much sad did you think I had in me
Oh this is gutwrenching
I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place
But Daddy I Love Him
No I'm not but you should see your faces 😄
An adult Love Story
It's my own disgrace
I love this
Fresh Out The Slammer
Ooh twangy first beat
Tone shift hello
I did my time 🥺
FLORIDA!!!
THE DRUMS
Ooooh Florence's voice
Somehow it sounds like both of their songs????
Guilty as Sin?
How can I be guilty as sin?
What if the way you hold me actually was holy
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?
Villain Song! Villain Song!
You don't get to tell me about sad
Sounds old country
If you wanted me dead you should've just said
So I leap from the gallows
WHOS AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME (you should be)
What the hell?!?!
Was it a wonder I broke
I was tame I was gentle
Well you should be
The lowering beats!!!
Then I'm fearsome and I'm wretched
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)
Love the old country open
Almost ghostly
Your good lord doesn't need to lift a finger
I can handle me a dangerous man (no really I can)
Woah maybe I cant!!!
loml
Aww it's just piano
Who's gonna stop us from waltzing into rekindled flames if we know the steps anyway 🥺
I felt a glow like this never before and never since
Still alive and killing time at the cemetery
Holy ghost you told me I'm the love of your life 😭
She's so sad...
What we thought was for all time was momentary
Mr. Steal your girl then make her cry
Talking rings and talking cradles
Something counterfeit's dead
Oh my good god I want to analyze this my goodness
You're the loss of my life 😭 Taylor no!!
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
It sounds like pool in the background
Very 80s arcade glitch pop
I'm a real tough kid I can handle my shit
He said. He'd love. Me all. His life.
I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday 🤣
No, not depression pop!
I can hold my breath; I've been doing it since he left
Taylor I've never understood you more 🤦‍♀️
You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart
You know you're good! I'm good
Cause I'm miserable
And nobody even knows!
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
The exhale no!
Who the fuck was that guy
They just ghosted you now you know what that's like 😲
I don't even want you back I just want to know
🫢
This is the most sadly disappointed jab of a song I've ever heard
WERE YOU SENT BY SOMEONE
IN 50 YEARS WILL THIS ALL BE DECLASSIFIED
AND ILL SAY GOOD RIDDANCE
I WOULDVE DIED FOR YOUR SINS
YOULL SLIDE INTO INBOXES AND BETWEEN BARS
You kicked out the stage lights but you're still performing
And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive
Hot damn.
Claiming this as mine yes please
The Alchemy
But I'm coming back so strong
Honestly who are we to fight the alchemy
But I'm making a comeback to where I belong
He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an e
Where's the trophy he just comes running to me
Clara Bow
Ooh windup
Yes guitar!!! Love this intro!!
This sounds so indie and small I love it
Soft and comforting
Take the glory give everything
The crown is stained but you're the real thing
Oooh some small town lore
Hello something reminiscent of The Lucky One
Character Song Acquired
It's. Hell. On. Earth. To. Be. Heavenly.
You've got edge she never did
What a way to end that song damn
The Black Dog
Sad piano no
You forgot to turn it off
Her voice sounds so fragile
Until it doesn't!
Old habits die SCREAMING!!!
YESSSSSSSS
okay miss back to soft but slowly growing
Her voice is so earnest
Yes the beats are so good!
Six weeks of breathing clean air
Beat change!!!!!!
Screeeeeeeeeaaaaaammmmiiiiing
And I hope you heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaar it
And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog
Keep the beat going!!! Yes!!!
I adore this so so much
The last screaming is WHISPERED!!!???! what!??!
Top songs. I'm calling it.
imgonnagetyouback
I hear you 1989 energy
And I'll tell you one thing honey delivery stunning
Ooh okay!
Sparkly alright okay!
Instrumentation is so fun
I'm loving the ultimatums 😆
Even if it's handcuffed I'm LEAVING HERE WITH YOU
pick your poison babe I'm poison either way
Cut the music alright!
The Albatross
Ooooh this is so pretty already!
I love the softness contrasted with the short lines
She's the albatross she is here to destroy you
One less temptress one less dagger to sharpen
And they tried to warn you about me
And I tried to warn you about them!
I'm the life you chose and all these terrible dangers
So cross your thoughtless heart
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
Simple instrumentation
Oh but I love the title drop
If you wanna break my cold cold heart just say I loved you the way that you were
If you wanna tear my world apart just say you've always wondered
I changed into goddesses villains and fools
Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon
Cause I wonder
Will I always wonder
How Did It End?
Oooh no I'm scared
The piano is scaring me already
No not oh-oh's
We hereby conduct this post-mordem
We must know... how did it end?
Oh-oh oh-ohhhhhhhh
Her backing vocals are so gorgeous
Lot the game of chance what are the chances
Walking in circles like she was lost
Didn't you hear they called it all off
One gasp then how did it end?
Ooh key change oh no
My beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree d-y-i-n-g
But I still don't know how did it end?
I didnt understand until I did hot damn
So High School
Ooooh the instrumentation sounds so 2000s!!!!
That just soft pop rock energy
Bittersweet 16 suddenly
I love the contrast between her soft airy vocals and her gritty lows
Are you gonna marry kiss or kill me
You know how to bottle I know Aristotle
I feel... like laughing
And in the blink of a crinkling eye
Such a sweet grinning song
Sounds like she's really recapturing something teenage
I Hate It Here
Quick quick (lyrics before music what??)
Tell me something awful like you are a poet
When I was a precocious child
Small town fears
Cause I hate it here
Everyone would look down cause it wasn't fun now seems like it was never even fun back then
Only the gentle survived
I'm made most of the year
This is really really pretty
A fun I was a quietly angry child song
This place made me feel worthless
She sounds timeless
This could actually be a kids movie song with this lullaby like instrumentation
thanK you aIMee
(Her first play on capitalization?)
And I forget the way you made me feel
Screaming fuck you Aimee
Ooh I like the build
Nice build!!! Oooh so fun!
But she used to say she wished you were dead 🫢
I built a legacy that you can't undo
That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you
Miss Taylor did you write a whole new bully song for me??? A la Mean???
I don't think you've changed much do I changed your name
Only us two are gonna know is about you
Soft and powerful
Like every kid who came out of bullying with a kinder heart
I Look In People's Windows
Ooh fun instru- wait wait what? That glitch of a noise? Hello?
I'm afflicted by the not knowing
Backing vocals! Fun noise!
The music is sounding a little more strangled okay!
I'm addicted to the if only
Music leaves her isolated when she calls herself weird hmmm subtext there
The Prophecy
Country sings again with the indie guitar
I got cursed like eve got bitten
A lesser of a woman would've lost hope a greater woman would've begged
Ooh the begging is so pretty
Sounds a prayer for real
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
Gathered with a coven round
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
Spending my last coins so someone will tell me it'll be okay
And said *please*
Cassandra
Oooh follow piano notes
Build some strings okay
When it's burn the bitch they're shrieking
When the truth comes out it's quiet
So they killed Cassandra first
So they killed my cell with snakes I regret to say do you believe me now
What happens if it becomes who you are
So they set my life in flames I'm scared to say do you believe me now
Bloods thick but nothing like a payroll
It's so sad but still powerful like Greek mythology I guess
Ooh but the gravel on "heard"
I think I hear static like fire in the background at the end
Peter
Oooh okay some powerful piano notes alright
Love this instrumentation
Is it something I did
I thought it was just goodbye for now
Said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me
Such a simple melody I love it
We said it was just goodbye for now
And I won't confess that I waited
Cause loves never lost when perspective is earned
Lost to the lost boys chapter of your life
But the woman who waits by the window has turned out the light
The Bolter
Oooooh
Okay I'm here for this alright
Storytelling like folklore!!!
Behind her back her best friends laughed
It's cheery but so devastating my goodness
All her fucking lives passed before her eyes
Oooh ramp up a little with some subtle beats
She's been many places
Yes ramp up
Chariots are waiting
There's a scape in escaping
But she's got the best story
Robin
(In here for all the names okay)
No sad piano!!!
Long note no!!!
You are bloodthirsty (ethereal version)
This is so pretty
The softest battle cry
It's nostalgic power?
We all vowed to keep it from you in sweetness
Is this like you did a good job being sweet now be angry?
You have no room in your dreams for regret
You'll learn to bounce back like you trampoline
This is such a be whatever kind of kid you wanna be
The Manuscript
One note and I'm crying
Love the isolated notes Oh my gosh
Love this end already
Now and then she rereads the manuscript
In the age of him she wished she was 30
Afterwards she only ate kids cereal
She wasn't sure
Okay some growing notes yes! Grow power
The professor said to write what you know
Looking backwards may be the only way to move forward
And at last she knew what the agony had been for
The only that's left is the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore
That is a... okay, wait... that's a really really good way to end this album... I need time to digest that actually... hold on...

Hope you had a good day Evie! Hope you have a good rest of your week! For the ask how about 17, 18, and 29?
Hi Shipz!! I’m just glad we’re done with Monday 😄 Thank you so much for the ask!!!
17. Your favorite character to write this year?
Definitely Joel!! It’s been a blast to get more into his head this past year :)
18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?
Oh gosh, it’s probably a tie between Dina and Arthur 😭 I love them both, but I have to be really in deep writing-wise to channel them and ensure I’m accurately capturing their voices!
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Oooh that’s tough to choose!! Maybe something from into a world unknown, although it’s hard to pinpoint an exact line! I’ve been in deep with that story for so much time with writing and editing, so it’s definitely the one I’ve vibed with most this year in terms of my writing!

What's your favorite Yugioh GX AU?
Oooh that's a good and interesting question! 🤔
Well kinda generally speaking, I really like fantasy and/or fantasy adjacent AU's. I think it stems from growing up very engrossed in the Final Fantasy and Zelda series' and growing into Fire Emblem once I hit middle school. I love fantasy adventures what can I say?
I also really like fairytale AU's, like Disney kinda stuff which I suppose falls under fantasy adjacent doesn't it? 😅
Now in terms of like, the fanfiction I consume that falls under this stuff I could very easily plug my own shit and name my own stuff my favorite, I mean I write what I want to read y’know? You want something you do it yourself lol. But there's a couple fics I've read I really liked, which is great because these kinds of AU's in my experience for GX are very few and far between especially in the wheelhouse of content that I am specifically yearning for.
But there is the one fic I read a little while back I thought was cute and fun that I really liked
It's like a Peter Pan esque stormshipping AU which seeing as I did a stormshipping Sleeping Beauty AU and currently have a Cinderella AU in the works and a Snow White AU currently being workshopped that's kinda right up my alley 😄 this is probably my favorite one that I've found thus far.
But if we're gonna plug my own stuff 👀
As I said, I have that Sleeping Beauty AU I'm very fond of
And even more of a like AU AU if that makes any sense, I wrote this one a couple years back
A spiritshipping fantasy adjacent AU that leans on the concept of the 12 dimensions that Yubel is trying to collapse in on each other in season 3, so kinda like an AU of the general plot of season 3 if you wanna think about it that way I guess 😅 princes, princesses, kings, wizards, duel monsters exist as all powerful dieties, bromances and romances all over the place,, all kinds of fun stuff!
So I guess my general answer would be, if it's a fantasy adjacent AU, and especially if it's stormshipping or spiritshipping, I will read it 🤭🤭🤭

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened Demo Thinky Thoughts
A bit late, but I wanted to share my first reaction to the Awakened demo! This is essentially an expanded version of what I wrote on the FW discord, with screenshots edited to look nicer for tumblr. I will do a separate post on the extra stuff that is normally inaccessible without Ansel. [Extra stuff post here]
So: spoilers ahead + keep in mind that the game is darker and moodier, I edited some of the screenshots so that they are clearer on tumblr/mobile view.
Tumblr media
Sweet sweet concept art, gorgeous intro music, yay! The main theme is atmospheric and dark, giving me very slight vibes of the Sarif HQ track from DX:HR... I mean this in a good way, not in a “they copied it” way. It’s that sort of nostalgic ambience, but deeper and darker. One day I’ll stop drawing parallels to Deus Ex, but today is not that day.
Tumblr media
The intro cinematic is pre-rendered and really good; I liked Sherlock's narration and the implication it's all in Watson's/players' hands now... He sounds more authoritative and distant than in CO.
Tumblr media
I really liked the visual with the fly caught in the cobweb.
Tumblr media
I did not expect this! It's a really fun title sequence and wow, we’re being thrown straight into chapter 3. I too thought it would be London but this is great 😄
Tumblr media
WATSON!!! At this point I’m thinking, “Oooh we're gonna play as Watson, they probably don’t want to show Sherlock just yet, I know someone who's gonna be very happy about this o,o” (ahem hem, @lucere-aeresta​) I like long dialogues/cinematics so this intro was a treat. I'll have to replay of course but it felt very satisfying to see a chunk of the story here and be introduced to the new characters. There’s a lot going on!
Tumblr media
The receptionist
Tumblr media
Dr. Gygax!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can walk around a little and talk to a couple of NPCs. There’s this easter egg - it’s a Lovecraft easter egg (thanks for figuring that one out, Lucere!) The paper itself is straight from Cordona. :D
Tumblr media
You cannot pick this letter up, but the message is very clear. May be a clue in the final game.
Tumblr media
Who’s there...? BTW this is the exact face Sherlock gives Jon when he plays the guitar too loudly in the CO seance scene :D
Tumblr media
OH NO. LMAO! This had me in stitches, and of course I lied. Nice American accent, you dork. The subsequent journal entry essentially saying "Watson tried to act, I guess" gave me a chuckle. I tried!  So hard! And in the en-- moving on...
Here’s how the journal looks like now. The clues have updated icons and you can toggle to sort them by type (document, conversation, item, etc.) or the order in which you found them.
Tumblr media
So yeah, Sherlock shows up in disguise and a terrible American accent, says the iconic “Guten day,” and then he gets sedated because Watson cannot lie to save his life.
Tumblr media
Of course. OF COURSE. Now I know someone who's going to be a bit disappointed we don’t spend much time as Watson, but that's not me. 😂 My first thought -> they heard us cry and wail about the stubble and said "We're gonna make you beg to have the stubble back" Ok, ok, you win. I'm sorry. 😭
Tumblr media
(insert half an hour of zooming around with Ansel instead of playing the damn game) This is how the game levels look when you go out of bounds!
Tumblr media
Found some of you in the back! And in the cells! :3 (There’s a wall with photographs of the Kickstarter backers, and a row of cells with names and custom faces - although you cannot see the characters very well at this point.)
Tumblr media
Right, I should play. The lockpicking puzzles were fun, but I'll admit I found both of them extremely easy. But I am a seasoned adventure game fan and it's a nice little thing to do for that feeling of escaping the cells. The “Mycroft” (custom) difficulty setting does let you change the puzzle difficulty, so we are probably going to face a bigger challenge in the finished game. The settings don’t make a difference in the demo, though.
Tumblr media
SHERLOCK. NO. PUT IT DOWN.
Tumblr media
PUT THOSE DOWN OH MY GOD
So yeah, I think it’s safe to say he’s a full blown addict by now. Vogel, what have you done?
Tumblr media
Ran into the guard three times, got a game over 😎 Confirmation that yeah Sherlock is still afraid of water! I bet he's gonna love the trip to America and boating around the swamps. What could go wrong.
FYI, there's a guard that you need to figure out how to get past. It's not a sneaking sequence, but you need some items. If he notices you 3 times he rings the alarm, and the game reloads
At this point I'm having fun just investigating stuff and admiring the new journal etc., it's all very nicely designed. It's awesome that we can sort evidence by type now! The mind palace facelift is so good and feels more involved than before.
Tumblr media
Back to the game... I SQUEALED!!! 😄 duhhh
Tumblr media
And again! Two back to back CO references, yay ♥
Well I am a smart detective and deal with the guard with my brain and not my fists. Time to yoink all of his clothes. Where did his body go? We don't ask such questions around here...
Tumblr media
HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL YEAAAAAAAH
Tumblr media
ANSEL PHYSICS RESET MY BELOVED ♥♥ never fix this please never ever
(cue another photoshoot) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The biggest tease in all of the demo: THAT EXCLAMATION MARK. Let... me... see... outfits! 😂 Lovingggg the updated outfit screen, so happy there's some gorgeous lighting in there. It looked kinda bad in CO.
Tumblr media
Okay, back to playing the game! I LIED, more photoshoots as the inmates scream, cry, and wail all around me. Sucks to be them, I guess.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, Gerda! I LOVE her new design, and her voice actress too! She was so great.
Gerda is the second inmate that we meet. She wants her friend Heidi back and until then she will not talk. The first inmate that we meet is Mauricio Napoleon, it is just a short but entertaining conversation/cinematic. We don’t talk to him any more in the demo.
Tumblr media
He does that lil smile as she spits the worst threats at him, it's glorious
Tumblr media
Something something Silent Hill 3 (Gorgeous!)
Tumblr media
I try to play the mountain goat in every game and the absence of the jump button will not stop me
So I didn't take screenshots of the quite meaty gameplay surrounding getting Heidi back and figuring out what's going on, so here's some thoughts: - The updated crime scene investigation looks fantastic! The smokey green aesthetics are fitting and everything is much clearer than it was in CO. I like that we can see how many variations there are for each 'node'. The only thing I'm not sure about is the first person perspective - Sherlock's close focus mode - because I had trouble seeing what's different in the variations, and sometimes the models would push me back a little bit when they loaded. I'd move away from the node just by trying to see things and had trouble re-positioning... not a great deal of trouble, of course, but it is a downgrade from SHCO. I think the 3rd person mode like with Jon in CO works much better. This is my biggest criticism of the demo. - There was a tad too much running back and forth just to seemingly fetch a few items... this may be polished further, I don't know. It gave me old adventure game vibes where you kinda run back and forth for a few small things lol. - I wished we could use the items more directly and/or assemble things, not just have them as text in the inventory... but I understand that making a new puzzle feature may be too much work at this point - The "three clues" dialogue confused me for a moment, but so it did in CO as well so this may be a ‘me’ problem 😂 I keep forgetting that there are 3 different questions to answer, not that I need to present 3 accurate clues... hahah. - The darker overtones are soooo up my alley! When I figured out what had happened to one of the people in the casket... ooof anyway, time to find and assemble Heidi!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Him <3
Tumblr media
Awww, isn't it cute?
Tumblr media
BUT IT'S WRONG
Tumblr media
Oh so wrong 😂 I did NOTTTT expect this ahahahahhhh Hands down the best part of the demo The mental health aspect of the remake was what had me a little worried, but you know what, I think it's gonna be fine 😂 Heidi is one bad bench, and Sherlock just ACCEPTING he's now talking to a demonic doll and making the most of it is just chef's kiss Love, love, love. We're all mad here.
Tumblr media
I unlocked a reward, and what a sweet one it is! Sadly, you cannot change your clothes in the demo. The updated physics make his chain and bag go bouncing like crazy, haha.
Tumblr media
And thank
you
for reading! Feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions.
