last months books: 8

a dowry of blood - s. t. gibson - 5/5

this was a rereaddddddd and it held up! i'll always feel mildly conflicted about alexi's age but its not enough of a hang-up for me to lower my rating. i like this book a lottttt yippee

dune - frank herbert - 1.5/5

guys. i fuckinf. ifucghinh. i did it. i rwad dune. slamsmy head againsy the wall.

i haven't talked about this yet (i think), but i kind of read dune twice? i realized very early on that the physical book wasn't the way to go for me. something about trying to absorb complex information when there's pretty lights and sounds and tiny tiny text on a weirdly shaped object was truly? impossible for me. BUT!! my good friend (hiii king) had given me his special annotated copy so i really wanted to read his thoughts on everything?

anyways, the way i solved this problem was to just... read everything twice. once, physically, as more of a vibes catching heavy skim, and then again, digitally, really trying to understand the minutiae of it.

this approach maybe worked? i still couldn't tell you very much of the plot, but knowing what was coming helped me enjoy it more? idfk

my favorite part wasssss the annex at the end and the chapter where the ecologist dies ❤

(franz please don't be offended by my rating and come to my house and kill me IM SORRY IM BAD AT SCI-FI I STILL LIKED IT)

in at the deep end - kate davies - 2.5/5

meh. writing style was fast paced and interesting, but a little too #qUirKy for me. the author said she was a big fan pf pheobe waller-bridge, and like... yeah you did kind of write knock-off lesbian fleabag didn't you? (to be clear i did enjoy this somewhat, just a perfectly average amount lol.

done deal - skrifores on ao3 - 4/5

woo hoo this was a 50k word modern au gentlebeard fic :3 i feel like 50k is enough to count as a novella? i guess we r tracking long fics too now. um yeah this was very sweeeet and very cuteeeeee

turn on the light - smallest church on ao3 - 5/5

THIS MADE ME TEAR UPPPPPP my babies.... (also a gentlebeard modern au fic but THIS one was 55k. so. yay)

divorce towers - ellen meister - 1/5

yeah idk what i expected. i got a free trial of amazon prime and this looked like the most interesting of the free book options? wish i had dnfed it halfway through but yk. i'm sure its for someone out there.

beastars vol 1 - paru itagaki - 5/5

yayyyy beastars ❤ fun fact i absolutely hated the anime on my first watch but like,,, in that obsessed way yk? rewatched it recently and LOVEDDDD it so i'm making my way through the manga :3

beastars vol 2 - paru itagaki - 5/5

i love to love animal cannibals....

last months goal: find a tbr system that fits my current goals better lmao

i just added a library marker lol. i was gifted a couple books, so my physical tbr got a lil longer. alsoo i keep reading novella/novel length fanfics so i'm tracking those as well heart emoji.

this months goal: read some stuff off of my fall tbr

gang i'm tired. the reading slump has been so real and i KNOW the fall weather is gonna kick my ass. i'd also love to finish a hard book this month but realistically i will read six fanfics and a romance. fml.

oh shit oh shit oH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FU

yea thatd be nice

Okay , Let’s Go , Then !

(Toorie somehow grabs Mondo’s hand unknowingly, and Mondo just… stares at her plume holding his hand.)

uh

toorie waiAAAAAUGH

(Toorie runs out of the castle with Mondo, not taking a walk but more like running at the speed of light. she’s a runner she’s a track star)

TOORIE I THOGHT WE WERE TAKING A WALK

We Were ?

UH YEAH

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU SLOWED THE FUCK DOWN

Oh , Sorry , Haha !

(Toorie slows down to a walking pace, a very exasperated Mondo trailing behind her.)

So , I Saw Something Cool A While Ago , And I Just Wanted To Show It To You ! Sorry For Rushing Though , It Really Excited Me , Haha .

alright

my fucking legs

Hm ?

nothing

(Toorie and Mondo stumble across… what looks like a golden magnifying glass with its lens tinted green. It is unusually large.)

holy shit

I Know , Right ?! We Should Go Get Sprigg For This !

May I ask , what are you two doing ?

(The duo turns around to face the Kayna with a red bag.)

Oh , Hi , Mauna !! We Were Just Looking At This … Thing !

(Toorie points at the giant magnifying glass thing, whatever the fucking FUCK it is.)

No Idea What It Is , Though …

Hm … looks like a part of what used to be the Observatory on the legendary Starhenge .

Wait , What ?!

huh

How Did It Get Here ?!

I do not know , but it seems to have been untouched .

untouched?! but it looks like-

Flitz ?! How Did You Get Here ??

(Everyone turns to face Flitz the Tweedle, who has blue head feathers instead of red.)

oh. I just overheard you three having a conversation, sorry! I couldn’t help it. also, who’s the volcano lady?

(Flitz points a wing towards Mauna.)

Me ? Oh , my full name is Mauna Maayaun , as some may say … I am not very sure if that is my true name , though .

But you can simply call me Mauna ! I am friends with Toorie , Sprigg , and Mondo . I have joined them on their ventures across the Monster World . It is a pleasure to meet you !

(Mauna shakes Flitz’s wing.)

i hope you don’t mind me butting in, mauna! it’s just a thing tweedles do, for some reason… we tend to be social butterflies.

anyways, what in the name of attmoz is that over there??

a thing from the dawn of fire i guess

th-

the dawn of fire?! that was EONS ago!! how-

what?? huh???

(Flitz scratches their head.)

I will go and take it to Sprigg . I do not remember much about the Dawn of Fire as I used to , but they are quite knowledgable about it ! It is an interest of theirs .

can we come with you? this honestly sounds interesting.

Sure , why not ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

anyways yeah!! Flitz is the same tweedle that the crew met in the middle of the ocean when this blog first started, and she’s back!!

she’s also the one who led them to Tribal Island lol

also uhhh they have full names now!! Toorie is Tooribella Chïrfell, Mondo is Mondo Shivvursen, Sprigg is Sprigg Kotelleedn, Mauna goes by Mauna Maayaun, and her last name is based off of the volcano Mount Mayon in the Philippines! i actually visited that place as a little kid lol

anyways have a bird

[glowingbadger]

Now I have to ask for a fic or HCs for that anon who said something about a reader x Yuri x Claude x Sylvain. Dang, that would be so spicy. Speaking of spicy, I would totally die (not really ;) ) for a Sylvain x Felix x Dima x reader fic.

See, the fun thing about a YxCxSxReader poly is that I can absolutely see those three cooperating with each other, at least on the surface lol. You may have your own ideas about whether one of them would be EndGame, but at least at the start, it's a 'gentlemanly' competition between absolute non-gentlemen haha.

This came out as like half fic half headcanons? idfk

Yuri x Claude x Sylvain x AFAB Reader (poly ish) hcs

NSFW 18+

- "So given that we realized you've caught all of our attention Y/N," Claude finishes his explanation with all the casual flippancy of deciding what to eat, "We figured that, rather than pressuring you to make a decision right now, maybe we could all just enjoy things as they are for a bit. Couldn't hurt, right? And hey... if it helps you eventually make up your mind some day, then so much the better."

- The revelation that Yuri, Claude and Sylvain had all had their eyes on you for some time now shook you to your very core. Sure, you had been spending plenty of time with each of them as of late. Sure, they all had their own ways of making your pulse race and your body warm through, but that's just how they were, right? Now to discover that they all admire you- that they all want you- it's near impossible to fully grasp. And now it seems that the three cunning rogues had agreed amongst themselves to give you ample opportunity to experience what they had to offer.

- "In light of this... opportune scenario," Yuri says as he steps toward you with a subtle grin, "I think it's only fair that we take the time to truly express our appreciation for Y/N." he wraps an arm around you waist and glances back at the other two, "Don't you agree, friends?" Your face is burning red, but Claude and Sylvain merely share a glance and a smirk. "What do you think, Y/N?" Sylvain asks, with all of his signature smooth heat just beneath the surface of his tone. You only manage to give a meek nod before Yuri guides you to your bed and the others follow.

- Before long, you're positioned straddling Claude's hips as he props himself up on your pillows and Sylvain kneels behind you. The three had thoroughly enjoyed undressing you and themselves piece by piece, taking their turns to steal fiery kisses and light caresses across your skin. By now, you're near desperate to be filled by any of them- all of them- their teasing words and expert hands have driven you past the point of mere arousal. You need them.

- When you sink down onto Claude's throbbing length, he gives an appreciative groan and you sigh in something like relief. Sylvain's arms wrap around you, and he's hard at work. Two long fingers steadily stroke your clit and the sensitive surrounding nerves, while his other hand cups and strokes your chest. All the while, Claude's hips buck him up into you with a naturally erotic rhythm that's rapidly building the tension at your core.

- Yuri takes a surprisingly passive roll at first, watching the others drive you into a veritable whirlpool of sensation. He kneels beside you on the bed, lazily stroking his cock and occasionally teasing you with sensual, open mouthed kisses. Sylvain's erect member presses against your ass, rubbing along the soft flesh, until Yuri gives a contemplative hum and says, "Sylvain, do you think they can take you and our dear Lord Claude?" The redhead chuckles, his breath hot at the shell of your ear. "I'd love to find out. How about it, Y/N?"

- With your go-ahead, they prep you, gradually opening you up with lubricated fingers as Claude maintains a slow, deep pace into your drooling cunt from below. You cling to him, and he steadies your hips while Sylvain spreads you from behind and carefully eases his tip into your ass. You're panting, your vision blurs, but Sylvain is mercifully patient and starts shallow and gentle for you.

- "Damn," Claude's head leans back and he inhales sharply, "Are you sure you can handle this?" "Ye- Yeah..." you gasp out amidst the mind-numbing sensation of both men's cocks driving into you at once, "I... I want all of you..." You feel Yuri's chuckle beside you more than you hear it. He takes up the briefly abandoned task of teasing your clit while the other two piston into your over-filled holes, and his dexterous fingers have you flooded with a new burning need for release.

- "How greedy..." Yuri muses, pressing lavish kisses and playful bites along your neck, "Do they feel good, Y/N? It must be wonderful, being so full of two lovers at once." You barely manage to make an affirming sound amidst your gasps and moans. You're close- and you can't even verbalize it, but the three men tending to you seem to know. Yuri's expert fingers apply an agonizingly wonderful pressure around your clit, and he whispers, "Go ahead, darling, cum while Claude and Sylvain make a mess of your pretty little holes."

- Your orgasm leaves you utterly boneless and giddy- yet Yuri takes this moment to pursue his own pleasure as well. Sylvain leans against you from behind, his strong body pushing you forward a bit, and Claude supports you from the front. And at last, Yuri positions himself beside Claude in front of you, and guides your head down to his rock hard manhood. It's twitching enticingly, already beaded with precum, and you eagerly take it in your mouth. He groans out his approval as you immediately try to take him as deep as you can, savoring his taste and moaning around his length. He wastes no time in fucking all the way back to your throat, and it's clear that none of the three will be able to keep from cumming for much longer.

- Sylvain cums first- the tight heat of your ass clinging around his cock and the stimulation of fucking you with Claude is too much. He sighs out your name and pushes deeper into you, and that's when you realize he'd been holding back just a bit for your comfort. You gasp, your eyes water, but you don't let yourself falter for your other two lovers as Sylvain shoots an impressive load into you. Claude isn't far behind. Feeling the other man swelling and cumming into you pushes him over the edge rapidly, and he holds you down on his length as he cums deep into your twitching cunt.

- The two are kind enough to continue supporting your body while you continue to suck Yuri off, even as they're collecting themselves. Finally, at long last, you feel his fingers weave into your hair, and one then another harsh, uneven push into your mouth, before he begins to pour his own climax down your throat. You struggle to swallow it all, but you do quite admirably, only coughing a bit when Yuri finally pulls out from between your lips.

- Yuri helps guide you down onto the bed beside Claude, and Sylvain takes a lap to grab a few spare towels for everyone to clean up. All three men shower you with praises for how good you were to them, how well you took all three of their cocks. Before everyone has well and truly settled and collected themselves, Claude places a playful kiss to your lips and assures you that they plan to give you plenty of chances to "mull over any future decision." No need to rush, after all.

[artifcial]

full name:  minsu ji  kitae hong nicknames:  ki, tae place of birth:  ████ current location:  ████ sexual/romantic orientation:  bisexual preferred pronouns:  he/him, xe/xem, she/her gender:  that’s between xem and god bro. i do not know.

one personality trait they’re proud of having:  kitae doesn’t feel pride in anything. what’s there to be proud of? you exist, is that not enough? anyway, minsu was proud that he’s caring enough to sacrifice his own happiness and health for his family. never said it was a good thing. defining gestures:  varies between who he was and who he is, but some things have stayed the same. he still runs his tongue over his lips when he’s deep in thought, fiddles with his earrings (or earlobes if he doesn’t have any in), clicks pens, and crosses one leg over the other when he sits. also, xe always seems to be  looking far away, like he’s not quite there.  speaking style:  soft voice, stern words. sentences sound like questions and questions sound like sentences. his speech is well paced, not too fast and not too slow. minsu was able to adjust his vocabulary usage depending on who he’s speaking to, but kitae doesn’t show that same capability and speaks like he’s fifteen years older than he is sometimes. insecurities:  kitae doesn’t feel insecure about anything at all. he believes he’s perfectly average in most things. minsu was a bit insecure about how well he was providing for his family. there were some underlying insecurities about his physical appearance but they were never weighing too heavy on his mind since he couldn’t waste time and be selfish like that. positive traits:  kitae is pragmatic, honest, selfless, and trustworthy (if we ignore the fucking chip in his brain) negative traits:  blunt, unemotional, apathetic, and ocassionally gullible. other people’s opinions of them:  minsu was often overlooked, no one really seemed to care for him and he didn’t work hard to stand out either. he was never seeking attention so it was fine. adults in positions of power (teachers, professors, doctors, higher ups on the ems squad, managers, etc) often described him as a quiet hard working kid that sometimes stuck his nose where it didn’t belong but he looked after everyone else no matter if he knew them or not so overall people had a positive opinion of him. as for kitae....well, his squad members think he’s strange and for good reason. they think of him as a damn good paramedic and not much else. if they ever talk about him otherwise, it’s because they think he said something weird and yeah they laugh at him that’s just how the world works. three words to describe them:  silly little android.

one major turning point in their life:  when his mom got injured and sick, that’s basically what turned everything on its head for him. minsu couldn’t really be a kid anymore. in the matter of a day he was carrying out duties no teenager should have to. it’s also what lead him to pursue ems instead of being a doctor like he wanted to. if they could time travel, when would they go?:  minsu would want to go back to the morning of his accident. not even to save himself, but to tell his sisters a few things beforehand, maybe pack some lunch, tell a neighbor to take care of the plants for a few days, transfer what little savings he had to his sisters. just little things like that. favorite way to waste time:  kitae people watches and minsu hates wasting time they’d rather be dead than have free time. given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?:  write. even as kitae, he’d write. i don’t think journaling ever left xem even as kitae. it’s an outlet for him whether he likes it or not. view on home and family?: minsu always valued family over himself. if his family isn’t fine then what’s the point? and home was wherever his family was, but he did place a lot of value in the house he was raised in, which is why he never moved out. if you ask this to kitae, he blanks. he doesn’t understand. he lives alone in a disturbingly clean, almost empty apartment. that’s home. home is a place to sleep and shower and eat. what’s family? he was asked about his family once and he just stared. he wasn’t given memories about that. he doesn’t know. it’s a foreign concept. any secret stashes?:  he absolutely fucking hates that he ever does it, but minsu did have a pack of smokes that he hid from his sisters because he’d lose his shit if he found out they were smoking. he didn’t do it often at all, just after a particularly rough day (which, like, almost every other day was rough but it had to be very bad) he’d sneak out to have one or two at 3am when everyone was asleep. his mom saw him sneak out a few times though, but she never brought it up. kitae doesn’t have shit.

how do they express themselves?:  minsu expressed himself through his journals. he had... so so many. kitae doesn’t do shit though.  what did they want to be when they grew up?:  minsu wanted to be a surgeon! he wasn’t sure of what kind, but something about trauma surgery seemed particularly thrilling to him. before his interest in medicine, he really wanted to become a marine biologist lol what do you like most about them?:  TT____TT i just think he’s very neat and despite the fact that kitae can be really difficult to write interactions with sometimes, its so fucking fun because there’s something always a Little Bit Off about them its kinda eerie hehe also i think he has great potential for development if i ever fucking write him

one or more plots you’re dying to have:

someone who knew him as minsu :p maybe an ex (or someone that was almost something to him? idek if he ever had a relationship lol) that finds him as kitae and is like wtf.....

unrequited stuff.... pls ... kitae is a silly goose he won’t even realize someone likes xem until they say they like xem.

errrr other human experiments :3

enough of kitae taking care of ur muse... let kitae (or minsu, i have a regular verse for him) be taken care of

actually let kitae take care of ur muse too

someone who knows what he is? maybe they’re sent by the agency that experimented on him to check up on him every so often .. see if he’s still functioning..... or sent by Another agency that’s interested in how the fuck kitae came to be

idfk im head empty just gimme plots

𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘:  @shinizenchi​ thank u ^___^ 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆:  i encourage stealing. if u wanna do it u can tag me :D

[alaughingfreak]

Don't know if you're still doing the fusions, but what about Anti/Virgil or Dark/Virgil?

(made the anti/virgil one already lol)

The Executive is a very strict and precise person. He follows every rule religiously, must follow a strict schedule, is always annoyed because others dont work at his exact pace, and so on. He’s a perfectionist and if something is a little off he is 100% done. He drinks tea constantly and refuses to let anyone make any bit of his food knowing they’ll make it wrong. He enjoys reading books but he mostly writes notes on what the author could have done better and always,,, fucking writes like a 10 page essay on this book. Same for movies. He probably has a blog and this,,,

Maybe I should name him the critic?? idfk

This dude’s an asshole and no one likes him but he’s really good at what he does so he’s at the top of everything
