The brainrot is brainrotting 🤕

Smiling Critters infection/apocalypse AU I don’t actually have a name for yet because I haven’t thought that far. I just thought I’d draw what I had in mind before it disappeared never to be seen again… 🕊️

The general premise is that after the outbreak, the SC formed their own survival group based in DogDay’s house and were doing well for themselves until CatNap suddenly got infected. Now it’s a mix of apocalypse survival and trying to find a cure + interpersonal drama because of course

Hey orchid, it’s bubbles,

I really wasn’t expecting this update out of nowhere. I was fully expecting to love the new chapter and I totally do. I reread the previous chapters to refresh my memory but embarking on the journey.

The stuff below from the recently released chapter.

Can I say, I was fully expecting to hate Nel, but he was like so sweet, making breakfast for her and like just being there all this time. It had me questioning if Jk had done wrong by testing him in a way. And also, JK, the dude has fallen so quickly and fast. It’s endearing that he fees this way but it’s like he’s putting so much meaning the one genuine female friendship he has. Him being with Adeline, felt so left wing, I mean the man is a walking place card with her. I wasn’t expecting him to go far with her in the physical relationship type of way. He’s wanted to normal and away from his title so to speak. The only step in that direction thats he’s done this far is the oc.(I have a weird thing with not putting myself as the reader, I instead have like a general character made) Oc thinking of jk is so me, like new friend thinking behavior exists.

I’m sooo excited to see what’s next… I have been working on just studying and planing for my future. Needless to say a very stressful phases in life, but this was a fresh breeze. So thanks for updating!

How have you been, I’ve been seeing your posts but still?

Lots of love,

Hey orchid, it’s bubbles,

BUBBLESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDD!!! oh it's so SO lovely to hear from you again <<<<3333. are you doing well? I hope you're well.

I really wasn’t expecting this update out of nowhere. I was fully expecting to love the new chapter and I totally do. I reread the previous chapters to refresh my memory but embarking on the journey.

YAYYYYYYY. I was super happy to surprise drop this! and you reread??? Bubbles you SPOILE me with your kindness <<3333

The stuff below from the recently released chapter.

okay lets jump in!!

Can I say, I was fully expecting to hate Nel, but he was like so sweet, making breakfast for her and like just being there all this time. It had me questioning if Jk had done wrong by testing him in a way.

okay but I actually love that though. I wanted Nel to be kind of out of left field with readers not really knowing quite what to expect from him. And that seems to have been the case from the feedback I've received thus far!

As for JK... he's a bundle of different contrasting emotions rn so honestly i cant blame you one bit. He was definitely pushing his boundaries for sure.

And also, JK, the dude has fallen so quickly and fast. It’s endearing that he fees this way but it’s like he’s putting so much meaning the one genuine female friendship he has.

He really has. And that poor boy does NOT want to. He's trying so hard to push those feelings away so he doesn't put so much meaning into it. But he cant help it :(

Like I actually feel so bad for him.

Him being with Adeline, felt so left wing, I mean the man is a walking place card with her. I wasn’t expecting him to go far with her in the physical relationship type of way. He’s wanted to normal and away from his title so to speak. The only step in that direction thats he’s done this far is the oc.

I'm going to go author response here instead of character. Adaline is supposed to (in this specific point of left field and walking place card) be this reminder of who he is throughout this part of the story. As in "Prince of the largest kingdom in the realm." Because he cant just shut the royal part of his life off, he may be 'alone' at school, but he still has to placate his father, with whom he's already on thin ice with due to being at the school in the first place. So he quite literally is intentionally making himself into this walking placecard to be able to keep the real part of his life he's created (the directional step with OC). We have to remember the much larger much more complciated politics that come with his role outside the walls of the school. And then so part of the role he's playing for Adaline will be physical in that way.

My point is that I agree with your point completely, but it is done intentionally!

(I have a weird thing with not putting myself as the reader, I instead have like a general character made) Oc thinking of jk is so me, like new friend thinking behavior exists.

Me too!! Occasionally I will see parts of myself in OC'S and it's super fun, but in my head it's just a character 99.9% of the time! And YES. Your get it! They're new and shiny and you're excited to get to know all of the things and learn all the cool things about someone new! At least that's what I'm like and it's rubbed off on Reader.

I’m sooo excited to see what’s next… I have been working on just studying and planing for my future. Needless to say a very stressful phases in life, but this was a fresh breeze. So thanks for updating!

Ahhh!!! Thank you <<<33333.

I'm so proud of you for working towards your goals! That's amazing and the dedication is so amazing. Seriously I'm thrilled for you. I hope it goes SO well <3 You deserve all good things <3

How have you been, I’ve been seeing your posts but still?

Mostly good! I'm finally adjusting to the whole 9-5 thing. My circadian rhythym has never been in line with "normal" hours, so that has been the hardest thing to adjust too and adapt too, which is where most of my exhuastion is coming in. I'm working more on less sleep and so that's been g r e a t. BUT I'm getting there. Slowly and surely.

Oh! I have a question for you. You had mentioned once (i think?) that you were going to read TDWV and send in your thoughts. (this is by no means me saying/ telling you to read or review just to be clear☺♥) But just in case you had, I haven't received anything on my end and wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't ignoring you if tumblr ate it. That being said, if you hadn't please feel free to ignore the last 4 sentences XD

Lots of love, Bubbles 🫧

Your presence in my life brings me joy and i send you love RRIGHTTT BACKK. Thank you for your lovely words, as always <3 they are appreciated more than you know <3

Xo,

Hey, I really love your stories and I don’t care what other say. It’s different from other people’s way of writing, it evokes the character’s feelings to the reader. And it’s amazing, absolutely amazing. The transitions and just the way you describe human movement, thoughts and especially the way you portray affection. You also make the plot’s setting so prominent for the readers to visualize. I’ve read many stories, from fan writers and published ones as well, this stands out and is great. Please be confident, you deserve to be! If you ever want to take up more professional writing, I’ve never been confident in my writing but I’m working on an original piece. It’s horrible hard to be satisfied with one’s writing. I don’t think I’ve ever been with mine cause it doesn’t match up with my imagination. Either way though, for me, writing is a rush of emotions and my creativity put out in a way that makes it have life. I don’t want to give that up. Though just being a adult is hard. I got to keep this up and you should too! One day I’ll let that be out for others. You have, with this blog, and I will too. Be confident, I love your writing!

🫧

hi there 🥺 i'm so proud of you for continuing and believing in yourself despite the little insecurities that creep up from time to time. i hope you never lose your passion for writing and are able to put it out for the world to see one day. and even if not, as long as it brings you joy, that's all that counts 🤍 and thank you so damn much for saying all that. you've no clue how much i needed this... to know i'm touching someone with my words and they're enjoying all aspects of my writing is all i've ever wanted <3

ahhh perhaps i will try publishing a piece one day! if you guys are interested, i could turn one of my fics into a book at some point. truly, thank you for being here and for your kind words, love 🤍🫧

[taegularities]

...please :') i think one of the reasons why i just cannot get over this song and mv is because he's the most endearing simp ever, like he's so annoying but he'll follow her and die for her and stay by her side no matter what natural disaster bc he LOVES HER SO MUCH YK YK UGHHHH

Finally found a post that encapsulates what I was thinking bc SEVEN MV IS ASDOAH JK PLS 😫😫

This thread perfectly sums it up: https://twitter.com/naija0329/status/1679986444348145664?s=46&t=-owXMFS8AH-Bu4UlaugXLg

And to highlight a few points:

It’s playful and endearing and who better to play the role than baby star candy lover boy jk 🥹 bc he will love you even when you’re a Hurricane and I— 🥺🥺

Thank you, stranger on the internet. 🫡

On the Rail We Roam by Kayla Renee

On the rail we roam rapidly

The voyage that carries us to our death

No escape from this train that moves jaggedly

Not a moment is given to rest

I beg of you sweet end - do you come for me?

From this world I yearn to abscond        

Death - the only suitor for my morbidity

It is in your embrace alone that I am calmed

As the sun when it hits the sea

I do not wish to correspond - with life's absurdity

Do you hear my nightly chants?

I call for you alone 

To sirenize with a transcendent dance

For my soul I will atone

I hear the wail of the banshee

A sound ethereal to witness    

Brings me to sobriety

I die with such a swiftness

It is not as you think - my demise

Ineffable it may be

Sanity does not apply

I craved eternal ecstasy

Barbarically bellicostic are the living

I take pleasure in departing

I rout wildly - so thrilling

Something new in me is starting

So phthartic is the soul inside

How dolent is the mind

But they use it not for good - No! But to ignify

Kindness - they’ve declined

I have dreams of a Utopia

Visions of a vagary existence                

But all I feel is claustrophobia

Yet so much space - so much distance!

[sadgaychamelion]

A short story from my English class last year:

TW- MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND DEATH/SUICIDE

Creeping up the old and dilapidated stairs, I couldn’t help the shiver running down my spine as the wind howled, pushing me back, cold as a dead man’s nose. The moon and stars shining down on me, in a mocking light. I glided further up the creaking stairs to my house, my ebony coloured cloak dragging across them as I went, thinking of the callow woman I met earlier. She simply couldn’t understand the beauty of my lifestyle. The beauty equal to Aphrodite found in the Umbra. The flicker of burning passion found in the stars. She simply doesn’t feel the magnetic attraction and rush of adrenaline pulling me towards the mediaeval lifestyle. She instead belittles “gothic” and “emo.”I’ve heard onlookers even call it orphic or phthartic. I’ve fallen in love with my lifestyle despite it being occult to some. The blazing glory of stars, the creaks and cracks sounded in the shadows. As I reach the door, pulling out the gorgeous old key, I turn around once more. I look back towards the mocking light and beauty of the stars and the moon, think back to the mocking woman, I feel the harsh wind once more and finally, I shift my gaze towards the graves of my late wife and daughters. And although the thought would be eerie or uncanny to others, I know what I must do. And so I place the key in the lock, turn it, and walk forwards to find what I need.

First he collected parchment,ink and a quill, writing out about his sacrifice, so should another find him. His sacrifice to and for the moon, shadows and stars. How he wished only to be with the stars. Then, he acquired his hooked dagger kept in the attic, crept back downstairs,hid it in another inner pocket of his ebony cloak and he left the house once more, locking it on the way before discarding the key loosely on the porch somewhere. He happily fled into the darkling,settling for a place shallow in a nearby river. He left the note, looked up to the stars and pleaded, “for you I do this. For you I sacrifice. For this lifestyle and awe simply isn’t enough for me.” And now he was satisfied with life, but waiting for more. “GAHHHH” And with that last brain, heart and blood curdling scream, he left. He left to join the stars.

i need to write something can you give me five (5) words for me to chew on while i do

FIVE. im googling and picking as I type this I really like erythema maudlin is like me. phthartic looks fake as hell but I suppose it’s real okay i give up u get three

[priyal-d123]

When there was light, I wasn't afraid

When there was no such fear as I now face

And my borders crumbled

And the the tears I couldn't contain.

But the masks never stumbled

They've been in place.

No one sees the horror more than I

For it lies behind the lies

I'd rather have it die.

*orignal lines*

Series: Chapter One | Chapter Two

Jungkook’s sitting at a table outside what he considers to be his new safe haven, making a mental note to thank Yuri for showing him the greenhouse cafe—is that its name? He should’ve asked.

He can see himself coming here all the time for quiet morning work sessions. The coffee is great, the snacks are delicious, and there aren’t a lot of people around either—zero—to be precise. So he really considers this a win in his book.

The cafe is just southwest of a medium sized greenhouse, not even a minute’s walking distance between the two. He could clearly see all the flowers and plants within from his seat outside. And behind the greenhouse was nothing but a small grass field followed by thick, dense forest.

It doesn’t even feel like he’s on campus. Just free about the world, grabbing a coffee and sitting down to work on a project like anyone else would. Like anyone else could. Another face in the crowd instead of the one on magazines in every corner store, book shop and grocer.

He can dream about it. Take in these small moments, but it will never be his reality. Not really. Even in this little corner of blissful nowhere the barista who served him his coffee knew who he was, addressed him properly, albeit a bit stuttered.

And he can’t blame her. It’s what she’s supposed to do. How she’s ‘supposed’ to react to him. 

He’s someone big and important. Someone people look to and see their future in his hands. Someone who merits reactions when in the presence of others. 

Someone who…

Someone…

So he dreams. And is thankful for what little normalcy he can get.

Taking a deep breath in, he holds it and he shakes his head, dismissing the thoughts before releasing a steady, controlled exhale.

Reset.

Keep reading

Hey, I was listening to my Spotify playlists, and you know how it’s a hassle on the phone since it adds new songs? Well it most definitely does. This particular time thought the recommended song reminded me sooo much of the color me in couple. It’s the song Promise by laufey, I absolutely love this artist, and that’s probably why it got added. The lyrics fit really well and the sentiment is there as well. I hope you listen to it and like it!!

Love, 🫧🫧👋

i finally got to listen to it and 🥺 it's so soft. her voice is so strong and lovely.. and the song is so sad :') and like, i don't wanna spoil anything, but remember this bit for cmi9 bc </3

thank you so much for recommending it. i don't say it often enough, but it makes me so freaking happy when you guys listen to a song and think of me/my fics/my characters. so yeah really, thank you 🥺🤍

Phthartic

Red and blue and fire and ice, Continuous contrast with a constant reprise. A tale as old as time itself, The oldest book, dust on a shelf. 

A battle of wits,  Who of us will win? Your brutal blessing  Or my gentle sin? 

I’ve burnt down my home, Whilst you’ve never know one. You’ve found light in the night, I seek the oleanders under the sun. 

The blue of your eyes, Would never match my red. But here you fall  And save me from the dead. 

I have blood on my hands, That you reverently wiped away. Why did you fall with me, I’ll lead you astray. You say-

You’ll never be alone,  never when you’re with me.  We’ll never be free, So fall in the phthartic pyre with me.

Destiny is a strange fickle matter, often bringing together the unlikeliest of friendships and the oddest of romantic pairings; it even tends to drive those same relations apart, in due time. Another thing about fate is: you never see it coming.

{Part One: Before Kira} - Chapter 1 to Chapter 24 In the earliest week of November, year of two-thousand and six, within the Kanto region of Japan, the lives of three people begin to crossway: an innocent young woman with a secret lifestyle, recently returned from England; a normal (by most person's standards) young male living alone, with a strong desire to just live a full, perhaps rich, life, like anyone would wish for themselves; and a strange, intemperate young female with a past that's catching up to her.

Yes, destiny is a strange fickle matter, indeed.
