I have to admit that I'm mostly a silent reader because I'm too shy but I wanted to tell you how good (and weird and crazy but in a good way) I think your work is. You've already given me a few brainrots. Especially with puppy Yuta and it would be great if you could give a few more crumbs

i'm so tired of people politely asking for more of a certain au/concept/whatever. haven't you ever heard of groveling?

The one thing I would love to see more of Akumatized Marinette is that someone would mention about how Ladybug will always save the day no matter how tough the akuma is and it sparks something in Marinette that makes her go, “But who saves Ladybug?”

I feel like that line of thinking is just so visceral for her and it prompts Marinette to take drastic action against it which have consequences. (Like if she decides to absolutely cut herself off from everyone or bottle up all her negativity which only makes it worse when she finally snaps)

I like the overall heavy burden hanging over Marinette’s head which makes her extremely cautious but also vulnerable to her negative emotions blowing up because she bottled them up to avoid getting on Hawk Moth’s radar.

It just completely sucks because like after years of giving them the benefit of a doubt and like “yeah they’re super religious but they aren’t HATEFUL” but feeling totally disconnected from them and like I’d never be accepted by them, i go out a limb and REALLY give them that benefit and go “well they’re not hateful so this could go better than i think:)” and it went exactly the way i thought it would, and worse, because i got harassed by my father for two months while my mother still has not said anything. I completely went out on a limb and was open and honest and even afterwards, after their initial bad reaction (they didn’t say I love you or goodbye after I left or anything, by the way) I wrote this really open and honest and heartfelt letter where I STILL tried to give them the benefit of a doubt and think “surely they will understand me” and you know what I got back? The most insane dog pile of shit you could imagine. Plus the two months’ harassment. Taught me my whole life’s assumptions were correct and I could never be open and honest with my parents about serious things and things that are important to me ever because they would ALWAYS vilify and misconstrue them. The plus side to this is that now I know that warning them ahead of time about big things doesn’t work, if I ever get into a visibly queer relationship I’m not telling. I’m just showing up to Christmas with them. Since forewarning doesn’t work you know. Surprise!!

I Solomon said unto him: “Beelzeboul what is thy employment?” And (s)he answered me: “I destroy kings. I ally myself with foreign tyrants. And my own demons I set on to men, in order that the latter may believe in them and be lost. And the chosen servants of God, priests, and faithful men, I excite unto desires for wicked sins, and evil heresies, and lawless deeds; and they obey me, and I bear them on to destruction. And I inspire men with envy, and desire for murder, and for wars, and sodomy, and other evil things. And I will destroy the world.” - The Testament of Solomon

we would like to hear what the normal usual moth activities are and also who's in the time loop (re: the wip ask game)

WELL! Normal usual moth activities are Normal and Usual and Standard and perfectly usual for moths of all kinds. It's one of our Very Fun Whumptober prompt fics that kind of grew a mind of its own (more specifically for "hold them down") in which Leif gets injured on a mission while the only member of Team Snakemouth available, and thus has to lean on the other Explorer's Association members to patch them back up.

As you can probably see from the prompt title, it goes Bad, and everything goes downhill from here. Also has one of our personal favorite dialogue segments which we are putting below the cut.

And, uhh, Scarlet. Scarlet is in the time loop. More specifically, Scarlet is in a time loop where he is backed into a corner with two very unconscious bugs that are Very Easy to pin on him, in which he has about five minutes of prep time to look Not Suspicious and/or prevent Team Snakemouth from beating his skull in.

He does not know the end of loop conditions. He has a very limited amount of life force. Leif's specific mode of "vision" is not actually significantly impaired by most walls. Everything is going terribly.

Normal moth activities below cut:

“He’ll probably be fine later,” Zasp offered, speaking up for the first time since the meeting had started. “He’s still moving around, so he’s probably not dying.”

“There is a hole. In his chest.”

Zasp blinked at Kina, squinting as if she’d just asked something wholly stupid. “Yes…?”

“People die when they have holes in their chests. Generally.” Maki felt a bit as though he was falling into another dimension. “From bleeding. And damage to the ganglia.”

Zasp squinted at him. “Leif isn’t bleeding”

“I dunno, dude, his ganglia looked- pretty damaged to me,” Celia piped up. “Like, uhh, dangling out of his chest damaged, which-“

“He didn’t die last time he had his ganglia dangling out of his chest. And he got back to normal pretty quickly once I put them back in.”

Maki took a moment to process that. A very, very long moment. He could see Kina’s face going completely blank wth dumbfounded bafflement out of the corner of his eye.

“…last time?” Levi finally asked, looking as though he very much did not want to know the answers that might come from such a question. Zasp nodded, seeming to put no weight at all into their expression.

“Yes. Last time. In the lost sands, with the dune scorpion? Do you not- Mothiva, back me up here?”

“Oh, was that what you were doing when you wandered off during the tour?”

“Yes.”

“Can we get back to the part where his brains were hanging out of his chest? Please?”

How many characters do I have for Moth Wizard, if I count even the really underdeveloped concepts? Let me write them out (bolding the most developed characters)...

Moth Wizard himself (Jewish man & wizard, he/him)

Unnamed Necromancer (wizard)

‎ברכה (Jewish trans woman & talking skeleton she/her)

Unnamed Skeleton Donor* (dead Jewish cis man, he/him)

The Unnamed Bus Driver (Jewish lesbian & wizard, she/her)

The Unnamed Bus Driver's unnamed wife (Jewish wlw, she/her)

Esh (mysterious wizard who might be Jewish but also might be Muslim or something else, gender unknown, any pronouns)

Unnamed Pathetic Woman (possibly Jewish, definitely woman, she/her)

Unnamed Immortal (I just know I want to explore tragedies of immortality)

Unnamed Short Fat Mustached Woman (Jewish woman, she/her and probably some neopronoun I haven't come up with yet)

That's everyone I can remember right now? Swag. I should give these people names and possibly faces.

*By "skeleton donor" I mean that his skeleton was ripped from his grave by the necromancer, and eventually came to host ברכה's soul. He did not consent to this because he was dead and that's a key part of the tragedy of ברכה. "Donor" is not really accurate but idk what else to call it.
