Kiss their cheek
Masterlist Here
Word Count: 220-650 for each character
Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Law, Kid
Synopsis: It was a simple reaction, an impulse you felt organic and out of your control. Their cheek was right there, and the swell in your chest and spike of adrenaline prompted you to lunge forward and capture their cheek beneath your lips. How do they react to such a soft touch? Do they shy away, or do they respond in kind?
Notes: I have hit a follower milestone and I am freaking out about it. I don't normally post about the follower count, but this is simply too incredible to not mark the occasion for. To distract myself from the sheer number of you that found my writing good enough to follow, I have a little drabble for you to enjoy for my favorites. To quote the goodest and bestest boy there ever was: âThank you for loving me.â I love you all too. Art is not done by me, found on Pinterest
Themes: cheek kisses, feelings, monster trio, supernova trio, crewmate!reader, unrequited love, confessions of love, no prior romantic relationship, gn!reader, pure fluff, A little OOC while I'm still learning about a couple of the blorbos.

Blackleg Sanji
âDinner was beautiful as always, Sanji,â you cooed at him, swooping forward and collecting his smooth cheek beneath your lips in a small kiss, âWell done, Chef.â Holding his cheek in contact with your lips for a few moments longer before pulling away with a broad smile.Â
âYouâre most welcome, love,â he returned your affectionate demonstration, his lips finding your cheek and grazing your flesh with his lips.Â
Both of you reacted as if this touch was not uncommon, not something out of the ordinary in the slightest. This was the first time you had given him this small gesture, demonstrating your appreciation for his hard work with something as simple as a small kiss.Â
The fact that this kiss was so freely given to him had Sanji���s heart catch in his throat, his pulse rapidly beating and elevating the flow of his adrenaline through his veins. His family of origin comes from a culture that kisses on the cheeks to greet and farewell friends, acquaintances and even enemies. Why did this kiss feel so perfect against his skin?Â
He would do anything to feel your lips on him again, often giving you preferential treatment in the hopes your lips would find his skin once more. Should he gather up the courage to turn his head, claiming your lips within his own, would you turn away? He hoped you wouldnât.Â
Roronoa Zoro
His mind could not comprehend the moment that just befell him.Â
It was a simple night of comradery and relaxation. The air felt alight with joyful merriment: Brook playing music, Sanji ensuring each of you had an adequate meal. It felt light: nothing plaguing, hunting, seeking, nor fighting. It was simple, and that is what it felt.Â
It being a simple and small kiss against his right cheek.
âYou are an excellent first-mate, Zoro,â you laughed up at him, taking his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze, âA noble knight and fearless protector.â
Zoroâs head couldnât produce a single thought to form a string of a sentence. He had not felt this way, the ignition of a small swell of passion to not involve swordsmanship, ever before.Â
In all the realms of intimacy and subtle touches, Zoro was inexperienced in receiving and reciprocating. Zoro was, for lack of a better word, a virgin to such an expression of unbridled affection.Â
âTh-Thanks, I guess?â he grunted, his brows arching at you. You giggled, patting him on the shoulder and offering him a warm smile.Â
âYouâre welcome, soldier,â you cooed up at him before turning on your heel, following the gentle rise in rhythm with your hips, dancing along to Brookâs playing. He followed your movement with a keen eye, more enthusiastic about your gentle sway and soft laughter than he was moments prior.Â
Monkey D Luffy
âOh, Captain!â you smiled at him, hooking your arm over his shoulder and drawing him close to your face, âYour cheeks are so cute. I could just-,â you halted your words, lunging forward and peppering his tanned cheeks with several fluttered kisses, humming throughout each press.Â
âOi, oi, Docinho,â he chuckled, swatting at your hands and writhing within your arms, âStop that. I am a hardened criminal. I am a captain! Youâre not meant to think Iâm cute, youâre meant to dote on me and offer me tribute of your loyalty!â You giggled, allowing him to swipe your body away from his.Â
His eyes darted away from yours, his lips curved in a soft pout with his brows furrowing in a deep frown. For a moment, you thought you truly offended him by your lips finding his skin. Your eyes widened, your hands shaking defensively to desperately retract your affectionate touch.
âIâm sorry, Captain. I didnât mean to-,â you were silenced by several inexperienced kisses littering your cheeks, nose and forehead. The cheeky chuckle that followed each of the small pecks only prompted your mind to chase your heart with its rapidity. He placed his hands over your shoulders, laughing whole-heartedly at your frazzlement.Â
âIf this is the way youâre offering me tribute as a wonderful captain,â he hummed thoughtfully, âPerhaps Iâm not so bad at the job after all.âÂ
Trafalgar D Water-Law
âYou work too hard,â you sigh against his cheek, pulling away from his cool flesh and raking your eyes over his face, âYou deserve to take a break some time.â You watched the small hue of pink rise to dust over his cheeks, his hair at the nape of his neck standing alert and rigid.Â
Unsure what exactly prompted you to seek out your captainâs cheek with your lips, you were regretting the small brush of your lips over his smooth skin the instant you drew yourself away. Watching as Law inhaled a deep breath through his nose, he exhaled a lengthy breath through his lips: following the small gesture with a soft hum.Â
âJust know that youâre appreciated, Sir,â you reiterated your stance, ensuring you held your eyes against his to reinforce your seriousness, âI-... We appreciate you, Captain. We love you, and want to help you achieve your goals. Just-... Just know that, okay?âÂ
Yellow eyes followed your exit, watching every step that you took and hearing the hollow floor ricochet the reverberating tap of your boot heel. His haunted gaze held firm to your retreat, silence growing heavy at the closure of his office door.Â
He could not stop thinking about the kiss all day. The way your lips felt against his cheek, the way he felt the small elevation of your smile - the way his heart swelled in his chest, and the way his breath caught in his throat. He wanted to know what it meant. He needed to know if you were being friendly and supportive, or if you wanted more.Â
Lips over his cheek, the catching over the words âI appreciate youâ with your reassurances that he is loved and worthy of devotion, inhibited him from welcoming slumber for several days. In the hopes of providing him encouragement and loyalty to soothe his rapidly sporadic mind, you aided in him in only finding restlessness.Â
Growling at his own racing emotions, he hastily drew up the transponder snail and dialed your personal shell. He awaited the annoying hum, the crackle of the receiver halting as you picked up the call.Â
âC-Captain?â your groggy voice called over the snail, âCap, itâs nearly five in the morning. I clocked off the overnight shift and only just got to sleep-.â
â-Do you love me?â he quickly spurted the words before he could stop them.Â
Your mind did not have the capacity to mask your words, given your groggy sleep deprivation. Yawning your answer into the transponder, Lawâs heart raced at hearing your words.
âOf course I love you. We all love you,â you confirmed, rolling your neck and taking a moment to collect yourself, âYouâre my captain. I pledged my allegiance to follow you, sir. What are you calling me at-?â
â-No,â Lawâs voice crackled over the receiver, his tone immediately waking you of your prior tired state, âI need to know what it meant. I need to know what it meant. Why did you kiss me?â
âWhat?â you began, shaking your head and brows beginning to knit in confusion, âI donât understand what youâre-.â
â-Why would you kiss me knowing your lips would haunt me? Knowing that that kiss you gave would scorch and mark my heart?â his voice rose as his temper boiled over the edge. âYou know I closed myself off to this bullshit. You know what giving me a small amount of your affection would do to me. Why would you-?â
â-Because I love you, Law,â you uttered in a low voice. You flung your legs over the bed, feet finding your sleep shoes beneath your mattress. Your confession hung heavy in the air, your heart and mind fully awake and comprehending your every waking minute. Silence was heavy and swollen with tension, your mind racing over all the possible retorts Law could throw at you.Â
Dismissal, execution, exile, abandonment: these were the responses you deduced to be the most appropriate response. In its stead, you were greeted with a small huffed chuckle and a low rumbled retort.
âCome to my office,â he hummed into the receiver, âShow me more. I-I-...â the transponder crackled as Law found his words, â...-I need more.â
Eustass Kid
âIn some cultures, itâs seen as a sign of respect,â you nodded your head, bowing your down to him, âItâs an extension of submission and admission to serve beneath a mighty ruler. Hands are the most common to touch, but kissing a cheek is the most intimate expression of-.â
â-Fine, you can kiss me,â the gruff rumble of Eustass Kidâs voice dismissively crackled. He rolled his eyes, turning his cheek away from you to hide the bite of his lip to stifle his rising blush.Â
Affectionate touches was not something Kid, nor his crew, were very experienced in receiving. When he offered you the chance of joining his crew to achieve his goals, Eustass Kid did not expect you to dote and coddle each of his crewmen into submission beneath your affectionate touches. As the last member of his crew to be a recipient of your gentle touch, he truly did not comprehend why his heart was beating with anxious rapidity.Â
âOnly if youâre sure-,â you began, halted by a harsh bark from your captain.
â-I said it was fine, didnât I?â his gruff voice cut through the air. While his head was still turned from you, he stretched out his right hand to await a small touch from your lips.Â
But his cheek was right there. You couldnât help but spring at the opportunity to rise up to Eustass Kidâs seated position on the wooden bench aboard the deck. He was ripe for doting and peppering a flurry of kisses all over his face, but you held yourself back from such an expression of unbridled affection. You opted to start slow.
Gently touching his shoulders, you stooped down and pressed a sweet and intentional kiss atop the apple of his cheek. You felt his breath catch in his throat, an unintentional whimper halting in his nose at the soft expression of your admiration.
As you pulled away from him, your upper left arm was caught by the wide and firm grasp of the captain of the Victoria-Punk. His face was still turned away from you, but the crimson hue of his pale face gave away the elevation of his heartbeat.Â
âIâm sorry, Captain. I shouldâve just gone for the hand-,â you began, attempting to tug away from his grip and apologize properly to him.Â
âC-Can I-...â he grunted out a gruff cough, continuing to hold his face away from yours, â...Can I have another one?â

Weekend alone
--------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Y/N and Bruce have the house to themselves so they think watching a movie or show would be a good idea, until things take a different turn.
Bruce Wayne x Fem!reader.
Warnings: SMUT! 18+ MDNI, please and if you do not my problem. Use of vibrator, bit of degrading, i think. Let me know if i missed something.
Note: So.... First time doing smut. I hope it's good, i hope you enjoy it. Tips are always welcome!
Art/picture's are from Pinterest, credits go to whoever made it. I just put it together like this.
------------------------------------------------------------
It was an odd acuranse for Bruce and Y/N to have the whole house for themselves. Yet it happened to them. All the kids out of the house doing their own things with friends, partners or just something by themselves. Even Alfred went out for the weekend, going on a well-deserved vacation to a butler convention. Even the animals did their own things as Bruce and Y/N tried to figure out what to do for the day. Not wanting to do a lot since it was Sunday, which meant a lazy day for Bruce and Y/N to bond and recharge for the next week.
âWe could watch a new show or movie downstairs.â Bruce suggested. Knowing fully well that they would never watch something new without the kids and will probably circle back to one of their favorite shows and or movies. âYeah, but the bed is so warm and cozy right now. I donât want to leave.â Y/N answered as she snuggled into Bruceâs side a bit more. Bruce laughed a bit and booped her nose. âAlright then, we can watch a show or movie here in bed. I did put in a tv in the room that we barely use.âÂ
âCan we watch Steven Universe?â Y/N asked Bruce, not even bothered that they watched Steven Universe multiple times and it wasnât a new show or movie. âPlease, Brucie, please.â Giving Bruce her puppy eyes. Bruce looked at Y/N and sighed. âYou really want to watch Steven Universe again over watching something new? Something that, I don't know, needs to be checked before we watch it with the children?âÂ
âSteven Universe." Y/N answered. âBecause all I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman.â Bruce could only laugh a bit at Y/N quoting the show. âOr we can watch something that is a bit less gem related. We could watch that show with the angels and demons.â Bruce said as he pulled away from Y/N to find the remote to the tv in his nightstand.Â
âBe more specific, Love. There are multiple shows with angels and demons.â Y/N responded. Turning on her side to watch Bruce look for the remote. âThe one where they are lovers.â Bruce added. âStill not specific enough, love.â Bruce sighed and rolled his eyes. feeling a bit frustrated about not finding the remote or the show he ment.
âDo you want me to list them off?â Y/N asked, wanting to help Bruce with finding the show or movie he ment. Bruce only nodded his head as he continued his search for the remote. âOkay, so we have âGood Omensâ, âSupernaturalâ, âLuciferâ I think âVampire diariesâ, âBuffy the vampire slayerâ ehmâŚ. that one show with the witches. Yeah no I think thatâs it.â Y/N listed off all the shows she could think of. Bruce was a bit baffled about all the shows with angels and demons that were lovers or had other lovers. He dropped the remote on the floor. âYeah⌠ehm⌠Letâs just watch Sherlock.â âOkiedokie, which one?âÂ
Bruce looked at Y/N, wanting to give up on watching a show or movie all together. âThe one with Rdj?..â Bruce answered. âFirst or second one?â Y/N asked again. Bruce leaned against the headboard in shock. âJeez women stop asking so many questions, I just want to watch Sherlock Holmes and snuggle with you!â He answered. âSoâŚ. I can pick the Sherlock version?â âYes! Just pick, please.â Y/N giggled and put on the first Sherlock Holmes movie with Rdj in it after grabbing the remote from Bruceâs hands.Â
<---------------------------------------------------------->
âI donât like Irene.â Y/N commented after Irene just tricked Sherlock into doing her dirty work. Bruce laughed at her comment and kissed the side of her head. âI know you do. Good thing sheâs not real and Sherlock ditches her.â Y/N nodded her head at Bruceâs response. âYou know Sherlock only likes her somewhat because sheâs interesting to him and he canât really read her like all the other people, right?â He asked before continuing to kiss Y/N head and cheeks. âYes, I know that, but I still donât like her.â Y/N pouted after answering.
Bruce laughed a bit at the pout Y/N had on her face and slowly placed his hands over her thighs. âSuch a pouty girl.â Y/N looked up at Bruce, sticking out her tongue. âAnd here I thought I was free of children for the day.â Bruce teasted. âMaybe I should teach you how to behave.â Y/N turned a bit red and quickly looked back towards the tv. âNo need.â
âNo need? Owh sweetheart, I think you do need to be taught a lesson in behaving.â Bruce whispered into Y/N ears. His hands moved from her thighs towards her hips, gently lifting her up and placing her into his lap. âGood girls donât stick out their tongues.â
Before Y/N knew it Bruce had pulled off her sleep shorts and panties. âFocus on the tv, Sweetheart.â He ordered Y/N in a husky tone. Y/N could only listen and turned her focus on the tv in front of her. She could hear Bruce reach for his nightstand and grab something from one of the drawers. She had an idea of what he grabbed but had to do her best not to look. Her suspicion was however quickly confirmed when she felt something cold against her clit and a low buzzing sound started to fill the room. âThere's a good girl. Keep looking at the tv, love.â Bruce smirked as Y/N started to whimper and squirming between his legs. The vibrator was on the first setting and she was already a mess.
âBruceâŚâ Y/N moaned as she turned her head up to look at Bruce. âAh ah. No, Love, keep looking at the tv.â Bruce purred into her ear before turning up the vibrator, making Y/Nâs breathing hitch. She moaned at the stronger sensation on her clit, the feeling of Bruceâs hard one against her back wasnât helping either. She wanted to look at him not at the tv, but he wouldnât let her. âSuch a good girl, Sweetie.â The way Bruce said those words didnât help Y/N at all, the feeling between her legs only getting stronger and stronger.
Bruce looked back at the tv enjoying the movie once again as he kept the vibrator on Y/Nâs clit. Changing the levels every once in a while, going from really low to the highest and everything in between just to tease her. Making sure she wouldnât come or look away from the tv. Holding her tightly against his chest.
âBruce⌠Please~â Y/N whined as she could feel herself getting close again. âPlease, please.â
âPlease what, love? What do you want?â Bruce asked, adding to the teasing, wanting to hear her say what she wanted in this messy state. âPlease, want to come.â Y/N barely got out as Bruce turned up the vibrator once again. âYeah? You want to come, love? but I don't think you have learned your lesson just yet.â Bruce answered Y/N plea. The way she started to shake in his lap made him want to continue this little teasing game. âPlease Brucie, please, i'll be a good girl. A really good girl.â
âHmmm, are you? Are you going to be my good girl?â Bruce asked after placing a kiss on Y/Nâs shoulder when she nodded to his question. âAlright, love, come for me, sweetheart. Be a good girl and come.â The moment Bruce told Y/N it was okay to come, she came. She arched her back against Bruce and moaned out his name. Bruce was pleased by Y/N coming like this and the sight alone made him come inside his sweatpants.
After a little while of calming down Y/N turned over in Bruceâs arms. âYouâre mean,â She whispered. âBut I love you more. Now let me make you feel good too.â She said before getting onto her knees, only to be stopped by Bruce. âNo need for that love, you already made me feel really good.â He gestured down at his crotch where a noticeable dark spot was. Y/N looked at it and could only laugh. âDid I really make you come by just letting you toy with me?â
âMaybe.â Bruce smirked and pulled Y/N towards him for a kiss.
âCome on, let's get cleaned up and get some snacks so we can finish this movie.â Bruce said as he picked Y/N up and started to carry her towards the bathroom. Y/N smiled and nodded her head. âIâd like that a lot.âÂ

ŕŠËĘ welcome to my notion tutorial !!
⥠my notion took me a month to make. It's a bit frustrating sometimes, but i want you to know that it's possible to have some organization in your life.
notion is meant to help you have a more organized life: trackers, goals, diary entries, anything can be turn into a notion page and i'm here to teach you how. âĄ
ps: sorry for being so long and with some typos and whatnot âĄ
âĄ. 1st step: the choice of an aesthetic.
it's important to have an idea when you start your notion;
for me, i wanted a place cozy and warm that reminded me of spring.
my main color is green. and with that defined, i started looking for color palettes with the types of green that i liked the most.
(i used this website, but any is good enough. it's just to give you an idea of what you're going to work with.)
i chose an aesthetic more gloomy, academic, and obviously green, (for my main layout, a retro blue-ish layout for my fanfics and a melancholy yellow for my original works) and with that i jumped to step 2.
âĄ. 2nd step: hunting images and inspiration.
pinterest, pinterest, pinterest.
i can't stress this enough. use keywords to find what you actually need.
if you're a beginner, start with notion inspo, notion [aesthetic] ideas, anything notion related. pick your favs and choose what you like most about each one:
the font, the pictures, the layout, even a small detail like an aesthetic quote design -just make sure you know what you like the most.
once you have a list of what you want, you start searching for images.
keywords i suggest are: [color] aesthetic, [color] cinematography, [color] photography, and, especially, [color] png icon.
i find it really satisfying having pngs on your notion: it gives a better sense of home and they cute, so it's a plus!
(most png aren't transperants on pinterest, so i use this app to make it a real png. now, know that it's not perfect and on dark mode might look funky, but it's worth a shot ig âĄ)
for transperants images i suggest you look on tumblr. just use key-words and remember to pt 'png' at the end.
now you should be left with a small gallery of photos with the same color scheme and this takes us to step 3!
âĄ. 3rd step: dividers save lives.
pick one image to be the base of your notion layout.
it might be for your notion icon, header, or just a random pic laying around your notion. but make sure you only have one.
with that, go to an app that finds colors (i use this one) and pick the 3 most predominant colors! i suggest one darker, one lighter, and one in between.
this works not only as dividers but to enhance any quote or pic that you have. e.g.:
as you can see, this little dividers (size that i use: 948x8) work better than the ones provided by notion and they're easy to make. just open paint and you're done!
and once you have all the inspo, all the pics and dividers, it's time to create some art âĄ
âĄ. 4th step: the creation of art.
is time to make pages and more pages.
now, please know that this requires lots of work, frustration and patience. sometimes the website doesn't want to collaborate and it might get a bit annoying. but know that it's totally fine to take breaks and take your time. this is something for you and you only.
you can take all the time you want âĄ
ă
¤ă
¤âĄ. 4.1 step: page outline.
choose the number of pages !
i suggest you have one homepage with quick links to your other pages:
trackers, school related, hobbies, anything really.
it's your notion after all, you can do anything.
after having the number of pages you can star outlining the pages.
the beginning is always difficult and embaracing, but if you give it a try, i'm sure you will create art!
i suggest, if you do a full page, to use 4 to 6 columns. it might be a bit overwhelming at the start, but i found it easier to work with more columns and less rows. also, it's more compact which makes everything x3254 cuter.
nut you can literally do whatever you want! so here's my organization âĄ
my personal organization !
homepage (5-6 columns, 4 rows): quick links to my other 4 pages. daily routine. quick reading and writing trackers. my performances schedules and feedback. goals for the month. clock, weather, year progress bar (see end of post).
original works (4-6 columns, 2 rows): my three wips. websites that help me with writing. my progress in each work. motivational quotes.
fanfic works (4 columns): folders for each fandom with more folders for hcs, one-shots, multi-chapter and ideas. motivational quotes. goals for the year. pretty pics and quotes.
trackers (5-6 columns, 4-5 rows): media that i'm currently consuming or consumed, with details such as rating, author, and some sub-pages with my extensive thoughts.
in short !
have one big page at the beginning to help you navigate easier.
don't be afraid to had columns and rows! if there's a blank space, throw some png's and quotes at it. it always makes everything 10x cuter.
ă
¤ă
¤âĄ. 4.2 step: widgets are your best friends.
add some widgets to make it prettier âĄ
i use this website. it's pretty easy and has the main widgets.
a quick google search might take you to other websites so feel free to explore âĄ
âĄ. 5th step: a touch of magic and stardust.
the start of a new page is always frustating: what aesthetic to use? what do you put first? what if it's corny? too much quotes? so many questions and, hey!, i hear ya! it's a pain in the ass.
that's why i'm here to tell you that you will change your layout lot's of time. even if you have already in mind what you have, it's only normal to change stuff every now and then until you have the perfect page.
e.g.:
you can see how my first homepage (pic. 1) changed drastically to my current homepage (pic.2). not only the color scheme changed, but the layout itself.
more artistic pictures, cuter png's and quotes, and my homepage changed completely!
so don't be afraid of change! it is important fr âĄ
âĄ. don't forget about...
you can change the font and size of the page by clicking on the three dots on the top right of your screen âĄ
make your text pretty with cool symbols !!
again, just surf the internet and tumblr and i'm sure that aesthetic bios will provide you with the cute little symbols to make everything cute âĄ
be creative with your picture layouts ! âĄ
i personally use pinterest (frame template) and clipstudio to make prettier pictures, but i'm sure any photoshop app can give you this effect as well.
play with png's and make your notion look more alive âĄ
any hanging or 2 png's similar can help with a look cleaner and more organized.
add spotify playlists (it had to be public, i'm afraid) and youtube videos for more diversity!
table view is a life changer for organizing trackers, especially books and movies âĄ
let me know if you want a deeper tutorial on how to use any function or if i forgot mentioning something you would like to know more about âĄ
i hope this helps you and it's clear. know that i'm here for anything you need and i'm sure you're gonna do amazing things there âĄ

if the ghosts had social media:
pat has facebook. probably also twitter. he pretty much exclusively posts fun family photos, except for when he turns up out of the blue with a 'recovering from near-fatal arrow injury xxx'
kitty has instagram, pinterest, and tumblr. her instagram is all cute selfies and her tumblr and pinterest are full of gory photos
julian is a nightmare on twitter. the less said about that the better
#spilled ink #poets on tumblr #quotes #dark academia #shakespeare #words #love #austen #relationship #thoughts #light academia #BYRON DNI
the captain has whatsapp - you would not believe how much wheedling that took on kitty's end - and that is IT. he does send kitty funny cat memes, however
fanny begrudgingly downloaded facebook (and then undownloaded it in a huff a week later), but spent more time analysing the (now disastrous) coding behind twitter than actually using it
humphrey mostly uses social media to post his art and pretty landscape photography, occasionally interrupted by posts about how much he loves his wife and how lucky he is to have the friends that he does
robin does not have social media. he also does not appear to have a phone number. or an address. if you want to talk to him, you'll have to communicate the old-fashioned way (semaphore flags). failing that, you'll just have to hunt him down

playing pinterest roulette and seeing what AUs i can make up based on the pics (part 1 of ???)
so this is a charlos AU, where carlos is not a racecar driver but went to a top university and eventually became a speculative fiction writer instead. his first book was an ambitious story about the theory of relativity as told through a series of art heists.
except: strange things start happening as carlos works on his highly anticipated follow-up, which is set to the backdrop of the monaco grand prix. in his restless nights, he keeps dreaming of a down-on-his-luck f1 turned getaway driver named charles.
it's a snowy winter's day, and he's stuck on the fifteenth chapter of the draft, wordsmithing a line that's going nowhere, staring at his laptop. nursing a cafĂŠ con leche that's quickly going cold. the doorbell keeps buzzing, and in his annoyance he opens it, about to give the delivery guy or some unfortunate christmas carollers a piece of his mind â
only to stare right into a pair of forest green eyes.
"it's mass. with time and space." charles says. carlos is too confused to even process how the figment of his imagination has appeared in the flesh. charles barges past him, fully takes up space in his apartment.
"the speed of light defines the relationship between energy and matter." charles continues, brushing ice off his gloves, face red and hair a mess under his beanie. "that's what you were thinking of. and don't stop on my account. i am so curious to see how this ends."
carlos stares, and stares, and stares. his hand has not moved from its death grip on the doorknob.
several thoughts flit through carlos's mind. uh, my macbook can do magic realism now? is this what they meant by writers being too close to the text? dios mĂo...Âżtengo que ir al hospital??
carlos settles on: "how are you here?"
charles smiles, clutching his gloves betwen his hands. boyish and rueful as carlos ever dreamed him to be. "well. you are the one who created me, no?"

- the marauders + the girls (valkyries) + slytherin skittles/emeralds friend group
"In a room full of art I'd still stare at you"
- James to regulus at some point
"It's hard to turn a page when you know someone won't be in thr next chapter.
But the story must go on"
- James when Regulus died, Sirius when James and Lily died, Remus when Sirius died
"Just because you loved me doesn't mean I felt loved by you"
- James to Regulus post-breakup
(I changed the quote a little)
"stay close to people who feel like sunlight"
- everyone when they're around James
"I don't miss you, I miss the person I thought you were"
- Sirius to Regulus when he thought regulus chose his parents
"always be kinder than you feel"
- James
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"
- Jegulus post-breakup
"The way they leave tells you everything"
- Regulus after Sirius left
"I hate getting flashbacks from things I don't want to remember"
- Regulus
"Remember, your words can plant gardens or burn down forests"
- Sirius
"Your idea of me is not my responsibility to live up to"
- James

Hi :) I hope you do not mind me asking but I was curious what your writing process looks like and if you have any tips? Your output is scary consistent. Teach me your ways
hi no worries at all i love this question!! response will be long, sorry! tips/advice/insights(?) are as follows:
1: read â cannot stress enough the importance of reading real published works by real published authors <- there is no âniceâ way to say this. do not read fanfiction â read prose or poetry, read something new, read something you can always go back to. i have a few books i turn to when i need a âhard resetâ when i just have Nothing left to write, and they always help.
2: write â sounds silly, kind of like âoh, duhâ but iâm dead serious. write it bad. write it stuck. write it boring write it corny write it unreadable. put down the bones, add prose or internal monologue or completely restructure it later. just write it first. i never wouldâve finished my two longest projects if i hadnât given myself the grace to write it badly first and fix it later.
3: collaborate â you do not always have to do this, but it helps me, even though i will say that i do not play well with others as far as in depth collaborations go (such as co-writing), but even just sharing a screenshot of a paragraph youâre proud of or saying âiâm working on this new projectâ can help immensely. donât invite criticism or corrections early in the game if itâs not helpful to your creative process, but be open to suggestions and advice later in the game: your work/ability/style will never grow/evolve if its "weak" spots are never challenged.
4: outline â i hate to outline, iâm bad at outlining, i make myself do it anyway. even if itâs just a âflowchartâ with a series of events or a basic plot abstract, put it down on page. visualize it, give it a shape, give it a name, give it load bearing structural details and go from there.
5: visualize â related to my previous point, but: make it real! some of my friends like scrivener because it makes the project feel like a cohesive whole, i like to make playlists and pinterest boards, some of my friends like to commission art. build the world, which may help you to visualize it in words more easily and follow through on completion.
6: snack â to quote the man (ryan gosling) "you need carbs! for basic cognitive functions, you need them! your brain runs on glucose!"
miscellaneous: if you feel like writing, write. if you don't feel like writing, see if you can work on your outline or skip ahead a bit or work on something else. give your brain a break. share with friends. remember that being creative is not a privilege: anyone can create. you will get better the more you work at it, sometimes without even realizing it.
hope this helps!

Why does it seem like everything you've put out lately is just trying to rip off netherfeildren? Like the art, the plots, the aesthetics... Especially weird since you used to seem to always hype them up
I went back and forth on responding to this but Iâve decided to because I donât appreciate having my integrity questioned. I kind of expected that I'd get something like this because there are some thematic similarities between Seeking and SWITBOSH. However, I wonât respond publicly to anything else like this cause I think weâre all very over The Discourse, and tbh itâs a massive fucking insult to accuse me of ripping someone off when Iâve spent seven months writing ca 200k words of fic and developing my own unique style of writing. If you canât see the difference between two writers, just because they write emotional depth and full sentences, then please read an actual book and not just brainrot fic. Iâm gonna properly address everything under the cut - anon domming is back on the menu today.Â
That being said, because this feels weird and uncomfortable for me and likely for Vic, Iâm turning off anons for the time being and Iâm taking a posting break to decide whether I want to continue posting here at all or continue posting purely on AO3. I post there anyways under the same name. If you still have a bone to pick with me or my writing, please message me directly. Please do NOT pester Vic about this, I know very well that she does not enjoy The Discourse or any sort of drama. Everyone is sick of the copying discourse - please have some trust in writersâ self awareness.Â
Firstly, the words ârecentlyâ and âplotsâ should be defined here - I personally donât see how stepdaddy Joel, pornstar Tim, sex addict Dieter, baby daddy Javi or any of Love Me back is similar to her works at all. The Seeking teaser I posted yesterday was similar to her Pink teasers purely because it had text on a photo - my text wasnât even from the fic, it was a quote that represented the series as a whole and the quote that finally made the series crystallize in my head. Itâs the quote I want people to have in the back of their mind when they go into reading it - itâs from the song that I consider the series theme. Our formatting is not the same. Yes, I have quotes at the beginning of the chapters - my friend sent me a bunch of poems and a couple, I felt were relevant to the story so I wanted to add them somehow. Several writers do this. I stopped putting in previews above the cut cause it was making it difficult for me to write the beginning of the chapters. My masterlist art is the same as, like.. Everyoneâs elseâs masterlist post - the norm on here is to have an artwork from Pinterest, the title slapped on top and the writerâs name. I literally just loved Pascalisbabyâs masterlist art so much I decided to do it too.Â
When you say plots, Iâm assuming youâre drawing parallels between Seeking what is desirable and Someoneâs Wife in the Boat of Someoneâs Husband because cheater!Joel (or maybe even Pink cause DDLG, but Iâm literally in a DDLG-type dynamic irl and I decided to incorporate it into a fic for once - there were CLEAR ddlg undertones in Love Me Back, it just wasnât explicit. I also wrote several chapters of Seeking before Pink even came out, and I wrote a cheating + father in law oneshot this summer).Â
The MC in Seeking is based on myself and my own life, moving away from my parents in order to live with my boyfriend at the time very far away, who ended up being extremely absent and shitty. MC+Jeremiah relationship is based on Adam and Hermine from EXIT, Jeremiah is based on Tony Soprano, Gwen is based on Janice Soprano + a story I heard from my cousin about how his wife let him do all the childcare while she went on a womenâs retreat. They are not in a marriage of convenience, the MC doesnât feel bad about the affair at all, she never pushes him away, and Gwen has no plans on leaving. Sarah and Ellie are both 16 and living with Joel in Seeking. The MC does not have similarities to Sarah like she does in Love Me Back (which was also literally based on my own life) or Someoneâs.
MC is a teacher who cheats with Joel - so is the MC in my post outbreak series I wrote many months ago. They're drawn to each other immediately cause I hate slow burn fics and I didn't feel like writing two chapters of him fucking someone else this time around. She goes out intending to cheat, and he thinks it'll sustain him for the next several years. The first thing I thought up in this entire series was Jeremiah - I had his character crystallized in my head for weeks before I planned anything else.
Of course Joel is unhappy in his marriage - neither Vic or myself would write a Joel who cheats for fun, thatâs just not something either of us finds interesting. It actually started as a Sopranos AU, but I decided against going that route cause I donât know enough about white collar crime. Also, if you are familiar with my writing youâll know I love writing infidelity - it shouldnât be a surprise that Iâm writing a series with this as the central theme. The central question for Seeking is when is it okay to cheat? Thatâs what the entire fic is about. Itâs not about him finding the love of his life after marrying someone else (like the summary of Someoneâs), itâs about two instances of cheating and how we justify those two scenarios. Of course it has a happy ending - Iâve used up my non-happy ending quota for the year.Â
Iâm not sure what you mean by aesthetics - Vic actually edits really nice graphics for all of her Mando chapters. She spends a bunch of time on those, and youâre doing a disservice to her by overlooking how unique her artwork is and how much effort it takes. She also made really cool teasers for Pink. Iâm way too lazy for any of that, I just slam a moodboard together. I started doing 3 slot moodboards cause the 6-7 slot ones were a hassle. The fact that only art pieces are used in this series is half coincidence, half me being sick of trying to fit Pedro pics into the moodboards when the colors are often wrong.Â
I literally texted with her when I planned this series, saying I was afraid people would accuse it of being a ripoff of Someoneâs, purely due to the Joel infidelity + uninterested wife factor, and she did not think the overall plot was similar enough to be of concern. I still hype her up, she just doesnât post as often now so I donât reblog as often, thatâs pretty simple. Iâve also asked Iris, my editor, SEVERAL TIMES if it reads too similar to Someoneâs or anything Vic has written - she is extremely familiar with both of our works and she did not think so. What exactly am I supposed to do when Iâve gotten the green light from everyone?Â
This specific anon didnât mention the actual writing, though, which is funny and it makes sense because I donât write like Vic and I donât try to. Her vocabulary is way larger than mine, the diction and syntax are not similar at all. She actually uses metaphors, I use them very rarely and only when itâs super dramatic. My writing isnât poetic, itâs not flowery, itâs not formal - itâs literally just how I think inside my own head. When I read my own writing, I imagine Charles Gross doing a dramatic reading. I learn like one new word every month and eventually Iâll add it to my writing when itâs something Iâm confident using irl. She has a lot of depth to her fics, I also try to write with emotional depth - Iâm sorry if thatâs unfamiliar in a landscape of dbf porn with no plot and 5 word sentences (Iâm shading my own first series here). Seeking reads more similar to the first series I ever wrote, which I never posted, than anything else Iâve written. Half of Seeking is also straight up daydreaming sequences cause thatâs literally how I think - the MC lives a boring life and daydreams, so do I.Â
Iâve learned a ton from reading Vicâs stuff - I donât read that much irl cause I rarely find English novels captivating, but her writing has really made an impression on me. I talk constantly about how much her writing makes me cry, and it really does. Reading her stuff has absolutely influenced me to be more confident about weaving in actions and little plot points that are more vulnerable and personal to myself, and that adds a lot of depth it otherwise wouldnât. Iâm very inspired by her, of course I am - but I know the difference between being inspired and trying to leech.Â
Iâm sorry my writing style has developed. Iâm sorry I no longer write like I did in April, with matter-of-factly short sentences and little emotional depth. I have short series and long series because some plots deserve more emotional depth and some donât need it. I wouldnât bother writing anymore if all I did was shady lawyer Joel or Father Joel and I never improved.Â
If you donât enjoy my writing, please just unfollow. Iâve seen other fics on this platform that read similar to mine, some that have exactly the same plot points/origin stories, and at no point have I thought they were ripping me off. At some point, this specific fandom needs to realize that itâs possible for two writers to have similar ideas without it being one person copying the other. My personal opinion is that if you copy someoneâs plot, you wonât be able to execute it well because you donât have the ideas necessary to actually flesh it out. If youâre familiar with my writing, you know damn well Iâm capable of coming up with my own ideas and plots. I feel zero need to rip other people's in order to gain traction - I have enough followers and idgaf how many notes anything gets. Please donât overestimate my ability to give a fuck about my popularity in this fandom.Â
Anyways, thanks for making me want to vomit, anon, you truly made me feel like shit today and I hope you have a great night! Iâm not sure how much Iâll be checking tumblr for a while so feel free to message me on discord under the same name.

đI am now taking commissions!đ
âŹď¸ Click readmore for more info âŹď¸
If you are interested in my art and would like to support me in other ways considering checking out my itch.io and ko-fi pages.
Commission Items Offered:
Icons (25$)
Chibi Fullbody Illustrations (50$)
Sketch Illustrations (45$)
There are base prices (USD) and are not guaranteed final quote prices. Simpler designs may be cheaper while more complicated designs may incur a complexity fee (as will additional characters, etc.) To get a finalized quote please reach out.
Ordering Process:
Shoot me a DM or Ask about commissions. We can discuss what you're interested in getting and come to a conclusion on how to quote. Once we have a quote decided on I'll send a paypal invoice or a kofi item sale listing (I haven't used it yet so I'm excited to try it out), and I'll get started then. I will not start drawing until I have received at least half payment. Turn around time is about 2-7 days give or take how busy I am with work/if the queue is backed up.
Character References:
I do require some form of visual reference for characters, specifically for designing a character. I will accept Picrew mockups, stick figure poses, and pinterest boards as valid references. I will not accept AI generated references. (Not even on any moral ground but just because they're usually way too complicated and nonsensical)
Things I Won't Draw:
NS/FW is on a case by case basis. Some things squick me so I won't draw them, others are fine. I'm okay with most things but please ask first and do not assume an automatic yes.
Furries/Mechas just because I can't guarantee the quality.
Genderbends that are binary-to-binary. I find them reductive and hurtful. (Trans characters are a-okay obviously, I myself am trans)
Group shots of More Than Three characters (up to three is fine), I just don't have the mental fortitude for that many characters interacting. Ordering a bulk order of say, chibis or something is a different matter and is entirely up to discretion.
H*zbin H*tel anything. I'm sorry but they're so fucking ugly.
Things I Will Draw:
Ship art of any nature (OC x OC, OC x Canon, Selfship, etc etc, I'm not here to judge)

đ Thank you for checking out my comms! đ
and note: if you think my prices are low please don't comment "you need to raise your prices!!" I am aware they are on the lower end of things. I haven't taken commissions in 2+ years so I'm trying to find my footing. If you feel so strongly that I'm undercharging please commission me and tip what you think brings it up to a "fair" price.

The Cardinal's Bride, Interlude: Meanwhile Back at The Ministry
Previous Chapters: 1 / 2 / 3Â / 4 / 5 / 6 ~~ Pinterest Board ~~ Spotify Playlist Â
Something a little different while I finish up Chapter 7. I think it's time we met Secondo and get a taste of what life is like at his casino, The Ministry. Thank you to @tasty-ribz for the very very nice gambler/cowboy Secondo art. And thank you to @kissingghouls and @writingjourney for being thirsty for Secondo and cheering me (and him) on.
~ Secondo, Mist, Cirrus and Alpha (no pairings, alternate universe, gun violence, lots of swearing, nsfw 18+ only, mdni, 1,600 words) ~
âCopia did what?â
Secondo watched as Alpha nervously shifted from foot to foot. The Ghoul took their hat off and cleared their throat before continuing.
âHe, uh, kidnapped Saltarianâs fiancĂŠ. Sir.âÂ
Of all the fucking stupid things his brother could have done. He clenched his fists on top of his desk and resisted the urge to flip the damn thing over. When would Copia learn to let shit go?
âHow did you find this out?â
âThere was a courier that rode through about an hour ago. Dropped off the usual warrants and some new wanted posters from around the area.â Alpha pulled a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and nervously set it in front of him. âThis was in there too.â
Secondo unfolded it and gritted his teeth. There was the familiar picture of his little brother that was posted everywhere that had a damned window but next to it was a picture of a young woman. He got progressively angrier as he skimmed over the text. The Cardinal and his band of Ghouls kidnapped the generous Mr. Saltarianâs fiancĂŠ. The poor woman was being held for ransom less than a month away from her wedding. It ended with a quote from the banking magnate that a hefty award would be given to anyone with info on the whereabouts of the devil worshiping outlaws.Â
Unholy fuck.Â
âShould I wake up the sheriff?â
âWhat do you think?â He crumbled up the paper and set it on his plate from dinner. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a cigar and his matches. âWake Omega up instead. I need to know where the fuck mio fratellino is.â
âOn it. Iâll have him come here right away.âÂ
Secondo ran a gloved hand through his hair and took a few puffs on the cigar to get it going. After it was lit he flicked the match onto his plate, watching as the paper began to burn. His eyes flicked back to Alpha and he called out to him before he left his office.Â
âDeputyâŚdonât tell anyone about this, do you understand?â
âGot it, Papa.â Â
He nodded towards the door but it burst open before Alpha had even turned around.
âWhat now?â
Mist narrowed her eyes at Secondoâs tone as she shoved past Alpha.Â
âGot a problem on the floor. Some asshole thinks Cirrus is cheating him at poker.â
Secondo pushed his chair away from his desk and ripped open a drawer. His gun belt rested inside, something he rarely wore anymore. Mostly because he was always too tempted to shoot anyone that pissed him off.Â
âSheâs supposed to be playing the piano.â  Secondo settled the belt around his hips and then grabbed his jacket off the back of his chair. âWho the fuck is on stage right now?â
âCowbell.â
Fucking Cowbell. He straightened his jacket and stalked around his desk, glaring at Alpha when the deputy still hadnât left.Â
âShouldnât you be doing something?â
Secondo narrowed his eyes when Alpha hesitated.Â
âUh, are you going to shoot someone? I could stick aroââ
âYouâll do what I fucking tell you.â Â
Alpha held his hands up and quickly turned, heading out of the office. He could hear the Ghoulâs boots thunking down the hall as he went.Â
âYou ready? Cirrus mightâve killed him by now.â
âIâm not that lucky.â Â
Mist snorted and turned on her heel, Secondo trailing behind her as she headed out and down to the casino floor. Secondo used the walk to check things over. He could hear the piano playing and Cumulusâs voice accompanying it. The sounds of glasses clinking and dice hitting tables got louder as the pair started down the stairs. The place wasnât particularly busy tonight, but there was still a low hum of chatter from the patrons. Secondo easily picked up the sound of an angry customer as they started weaving through the tables.Â
âI know you fucking cheated so just admit it!â
âYou can say it as many times as you want, asshole. It ainât gonna make it true.â
âI know what I saw, you had cards up your sleeve! I didnât come to this shithole to be cheated on.â The man took a step towards where Cirrus was still seated and spit at her feet. âEspecially not by a woman.â
âI donât know sweetheart, you look like the kind of guy that gets cheated on by women a lot.â
âYou fucââ
Secondo had reached them right as the man advanced on the Ghoulette. He held a hand out and stopped his progress, splaying his fingers wide on his chest and shoving him back away from the table. Â
âWhatâs the problem here?â
âThe problem is this stupid bitch has been cheating and costing me money!â
Cirrus slammed her fist down onto the table and jumped to her feet.Â
âIf you say I cheated one more fucking time Iâm going to slice your damn throat.â
âYouâre a fucking cheââ
âThatâs enough.â Secondo once again had his hand on the manâs chest but this time he grabbed his shirt in his fist. He yanked him closer, blowing smoke down into his face. âMy games are fair. My employees donât cheat. I think youâre just having a bad night friend.â
âI ainât your friend.â He shoved away from Secondo, stumbling back and falling onto his ass. âShouldâve known a bunch of Satan worshippers would cheat.â
Secondo narrowed his eyes and took a step toward him. He pushed the right side of his jacket back and tucked his thumb into his belt so his palm was close to the handle of his revolver.Â
âCare to repeat that?â
âYou heard me. Everyone knows about you guys. Fucking sacrificing people and animals and shit.â
âWell if you believe the rumors why did you come here? For someone with such a strong moral code you seem willing to revel in sin.â Secondo smirked when Mist stepped close and lifted up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear. âYou even spent the night with one of my fallen angels.â
âThatâs a lie!â
âLiars. Devil worshippers. Cheaters.â He shook his head as he stared the man down. âSerious accusations from a drunk that canât back them up.â
Secondo smirked when the man growled and clumsily got to his feet. He was itching for the man to try something, honestly for anyone to try something tonight. His anger over what Copia had done was simmering in his veins.
âOh I can back them up.â The man straightened his clothes and then reached towards his belt. âBut first Iâm gonna shoot you in your smug fucking face.â Â
âAre you?â Secondo clicked his tongue and let his palm rest on the handle of his revolver. âWhat a pity. I had plans for later.â
âYeah well fuck your plââ
The man had finally gotten a grip on his gun and pulled on it, but he barely had it out of the holster before a gunshot rang out and echoed through the now quiet casino. Secondo watched as his body jerked and collapsed in on itself. The bullet had lodged between his eyes, blood quickly pouring from the wound and dripping onto the floor. Secondo grimaced for a moment before he turned to look at Mist.
âTake care of this please.â
âYes, Papa.â
Mist pointed at some nearby Ghouls and snapped her fingers. While Earth and Water lifted the body up Secondo uncocked his gun and spun it back into its holster. He turned and took a few steps towards the bar before glancing back at Cirrus.
âCirrus, a moment por favore.â
As he walked towards the bar he shot a look towards the quiet stage. Cowbell took the hint and started playing again, Cumulusâs voice joining not long after. At the bar he leaned against the front of it and nodded towards Air who quickly poured him a whisky. The liquid burned down his throat, but he held the glass out for a refill. Before he could tip that back Cirrus stepped up to his side and slipped the glass out of his hand, coughing after she swallowed the contents.
âLucifer, how do you drink this?â
âYou get used to it.â Secondo held his hand out for his glass and nodded towards Air again. As the Ghoul filled it once more he met the Ghouletteâs eyes. âAre you that bored?â
âCan you blame me? Thereâs nothing to do.âÂ
He raised an eyebrow at her statement, downing his drink in one gulp. When Air filled it once more he handed it to Cirrus.
âLet me guess, youâd rather be riding around with my brother.â
âWell yeah, those shitheads need my help.â
âDo they?â Secondo watched her throat move as she gulped the drink down. âHelp with what exactly?â
The only answer he got was Cirrus coughing as the liquid burned her throat again. The fact that she wouldnât meet his eyes was answer enough though. Copiaâs Ghouls were loyal to a fault. When she finally spoke, Secondo froze.
âDonât you want revenge? For what Saltarian did?â
Secondo sighed and held his hand out for the glass, holding Cirrus's gaze when she handed it back.
âWhat I want is to live my life without looking over my back waiting for the next Saltarian.â He also wanted more whiskey and another cigar. Cirrus sighed and started to turn to head back to the poker tables, but Secondo shot a hand out and grabbed her wrist. âI also would like you to take over for Cowbell please.âÂ
Cirrus nodded her head, but when Secondo didnât let go she turned back to him. He brought his other hand around and slipped his fingers into her sleeve. When he pulled out the two aces she had stuffed up there he smirked at her and flicked them behind the bar.Â
âOh no, how did those get there!â
Secondo snorted and let go of her before pointing towards the stage.
âPiano, please.â He winced as Cowbell hit a few wrong notes. âBefore I shoot him too.â

If We Were Villains: a book review
Or, the power of environmental storytelling, amazing characterization, theatrics and what it does to a STEM student with a passion for the arts
A/N: This is my first time writing a book review, and I decided to make up a little formula for myself to follow for the rest of my reviews. Truthfully, IWWV is not my first book, but it has defintiely inspired me enough to write something for it that isnât fanfiction so here it is. Feel free to share your thoughts and bring up discussions, as this book is dear to me in many ways and it deserves to be talked about. Do note all of this is my opinion and that is all it will ever be. Hope you enjoy this review/semi-analysis of IWWV that I am less than qualified to talk about, but that is the beauty of self-expression. Please be warned of spoilers which will be marked as to where they Start.Â
How I was Introduced to the Book
I first learned of the book through booktok. And I know the implications of that statement and the reputation of booktok in the bookish community. I, myself, donât think too highly of booktok (as it is where all the colleen hoover fans worm about), but I have to admit that it is, by far, one of the best avenues to discover authors and books, no matter the romanticization of reading as a hobby or the misinterpretation of these books. Truthfully, without booktok, I would not have asked my friend to buy me a copy of If We Were Villains for my birthday and I wouldnât be enamoured by its narrations and characters as I am right now. There was a specific tiktoker that I followed for the fact that they have read a lot of dark academia books â which is a genre that Iâm getting into right now! If We Were Villains was introduced to me as a really great book with a lot of twists and turns, and I went into it with that expectation.
The Book Itself in My Own Words
Imagine that one picture that comes up whenever you search âdark academia aestheticâ on pinterest. There is a manor at the far end of the photo, distant and castle-like. Vines and greenery cling to it as if it were the old cobblestone shrine of a forest God and its windows are hauntingly grey with dust as if it were lived in by no one except ghosts. You are only outside looking in, and there is no scene you can manage from the manor. What you can observe, however is a lake. It reflects the greyish bluish white sky above it and it does not move against the life, the nature that surrounds it. It is ever present and everlastingly still; ultimately very boring to the people who spare it a glance, but go beyond depths you and I can comprehend or imagine. Think of that image, but in book form. Oh and add several other complicated things in it too, just for flavor.
If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio is a hauntingly, tragic mystery about 7 friends who made the mistake of being gay theatre kids. Itâs the found family trope in reverse as you watch as their life fall apart in the incident of a murder that no one is really sure who did. We follow Oliver Marks, essentially the main character and the narrator of the story as he describes what his life is like and how itâs about to be ruined because some guy was too petty to accept that he isnât always the star of the show. Watch the 6 of them go through the motion, pretending everything is fine and that theyâre all not mentally ill in some way while quoting shakespeare that no normal person does.Â
As sarcastic as I sound, it is genuinely a wonderful, captivating story about grief, friendship and art. Everything is so complicated (in a good way) and youâre not really sure what to feel about all of it, but at the same time, you stay for the ride because the feelings are worth it, just to see this show to the end just so these characters can reach their epilogue finally. The way I would describe it is imagine all those reading assignments and book reports you had to do in your english class about a sonnet or play, then mix it with all the gay fanfiction one would read in the witching hours of 3 am as you sob quietly to yourself because you know your ship will never be canon. It is a culmination of these two things, and it���s awesome.Â
First Impressions/Last Impressions
I struggled with getting through Act I of IWWV. And I do genuinely believe that this was not at all the fault of the author or the story as the set up was interesting and mysterious and curious enough for me to get hooked. It just so happened that the fish was uninterested and busy with other things that I did not get into immediately as I would have hoped. Despite this â and after several months of not reading â I managed to pick up the book again and return to where I left off.
Perhaps it was the fact that there was a large gap of me not reading IWWV and then the sudden bolt of me reading it religious explains why I found the first parts of IWWV quite slow. I do recognize this as a part of the set up and exposition of the book and was entirely necessary for the emotional impact that it would give me by the end, but prowling through those first few chapters was hard as someone with a short attention span and have several hobbies aside from reading and writing.Â
But now, after almost a year of trying to finish this book properly, I have to say that I am wrecked and I will never be the same again. I thought I was going to hate the endng, truthfully, as its implications was bleak and somehow, undermines the efforts of its characters. But, the epilogue had me pleasantly surprised and relieved, that I would have to say that the ending was exactly my cup of tea. Iâm still not sure on where I stand with happy endings or tragic endings, but I do in fact love open endings â endings left to interpretation, the kinds that will make you tear your hair out because where is the rest of it? Why is the book just- done? And here is where fanfiction comes to play, my friend.Â
The journey has been a journey, and I definitely have to say that I have learned a lot from this book and that it was easy to fall in love with the book despite the rough beginning.Â
//SPOILERS START HERE//
How I fell in Love with It
The atmosphere IWWV gave me which was extremely immersive and can only be described as delightfully haunting. It is peak gray â and gay â atmosphere that I really enjoyed as it felt like the right amount of theatrics to not be too dramatic and satirical. Something also surprising is the fact that it is oddly humorous despite being a book about murder, shakespeare and what makes a tragedy. Actually, considering it is inspired by shakespeare, the humorous aspect is not so surprising if you take into account some shakespeare being pretty absurd as it is. The unironic things these characters do like randomly quote shakespeare out of nowhere is so pretentiously funny, but also contributes well to what the book is going for.Â
As unnatural as that would be for like a normal person, because Oliver and his friends are so deep into the shakespeare of their classes, they make it feel natural and you get used to that as the story progresses. Oliver had a really good justification for this which he explains to Colbourne in a way that I truly resonate with. This book, as well as the characters, are so in love with Shakespeareâs words that itâs hard to not find yourself enamoured by it to. I love the way they describe taking art like this as I feel, as an artist and creative, that this is an artistâs ulttimate purpose. To capture the things that cannot be said properly through ordinary words, and to encapsulate those moments of heightened emotion and feeling. Any piece of art is an attempt to reanimate emotion, and we use art to deliver those emotions that we, ourselves, cannot fully comprehend.Â
This is what I love about this book, aside from its brilliant storytelling and interesting and raw characters. It feels like it was made with the intention of appreciation for art, and I really respect that as art means so much to me. This book is art and it is about art as much as it is about this specific friend group dealing with whatever just happened, and I really really love and appreciate that about this book.Â
Strong Points/What I learned from It as a Writer
IWWV is genuinely a master class in environmental storytelling. The Castle, where everyone stays at during their time in Dellecher is the most effective use of environment Iâve seen in a book (which Iâm sure thereâs more, I just havenât read it yet in which I will at some point). The way the castle has a place for everyone, and the scene wherein Oliver is seen cleaning the different rooms of the Castle goes to show the amount of detail the author puts into each little cranny of their descriptions of the Castle. One specific detail I remember was in Richardâs room where a chess board was described with one horseman toppled over and another missing. I may be tweaking, but that might just imply something about story. Aside from the environments, IWWV also makes good use of its inspiration material which is shakespeare.
I definitely should have gone into IWWV with some knowledge of shakespeare and I would encourage anyone who wish to read IWWV to read at least one shakespear book, because I didnt and I am incredible lost on how IWWV uses those narratives of Shakespeareâs plays to reference its own tragedy and characters and I am extremely upset that I didnât get to experience that other narrative of the what the play were trying to tell the reader. But of course, you donât have to have a background in theatre or shakespeare to read IWWV. It would extremely as they constantly quote shakespeare and if you donât know what those quotes mean, you will get lost at some point, but you can manage through it (as I said, the book does well with these quotes that it starts feeling natural enough that you, too, would start to make sense of these quotes even if you would struggle at first). But, from what I have heard from people who have read the book and Shakespeare, the plays do reference and foreshadow the story within IWWV.Â
The play Ceasar directly reference how Richard is going to die and whoâs going to kill him. Like Richard is the modern Julias Ceasar, he is someone who has caused tyranny in their group of friends and provoked James to hit him on the head which led to his friends eventually leaving him for dead. I still struggle sometimes with that betrayal because in truth, Richard was their friend for 3 years and then theyâre just gonna throw him away like that? I think itâs just how I view friendship, but to be fair I donât like Richard enough to be angry that he died. And thatâs a good way of utilizing source material! Because who killed Ceasar if not his most intimate of friends.Â
This is kind of like Chekhovâs gun in a way except weâre talking about multiple guns and youâre in a gun shop and the fact that the guns are constantly being fired. Everytime the environment is being described, it doesnât get boring or go into super great detail. Iâm always seated for those descriptions of the environment because at some point one very specific detail will mean something to the story more than you expect it would. Otherwise, it contributes to the atmosphere and helps you feel incredibly immersive. I think much of what I read are heavily character-driven (which isnât a bad thing!) and IWWV is also heavily character-driven in terms of plot, but it uses its environment well. Like it exists and isnât just an extension of the actors themselves, but it doesnât just exist as a setting, it exists as a plot device. A carefully crafted set for a performance. IWWV was a wonderful case study for me to be able to spot those little details in the environment and try my hand in interpreting what they mean, like a detective looking for clues â which is very fitting!
Characters and characterization was also very good in IWWV. Every character was equally flawed and all of their actions warrant a âWhat the actual fuck?â from me. The amazing thing about IWWV is that despite its title, none of these characters are bad people, just very flawed with poor decision-making skills. Even Richard, I would argue, is still a gray character despite being an asshole! It was entirely his fault for becoming needlessly petty and aggressive towards his friends, but I donât really think that undermines their 3 years of friendship together. I genuinely believe that Richard was just a guy with a big ego that was too fragile for his own good and he did really dumb and shitty stuff about that. He isnât your 2D Villain, because his actions were triggered by the event of something â being casted as someone that wasnât the main focus of the play. And his friends and the reader have in their every right to be angry at Richard for the shit heâs done, but you have to admit he wasnât always like that. He changed and that is the most admirable thing about the character writing in IWWV.
Everyone is very dynamic, but not too drastic for it to be jarring. They fit well together despite having contrasting personalities and all of them have something going on in terms of their personal life. Itâs a shame we donât exactly see ther perspectives as we are limited to Oliverâs narration, but we do get glimpses of it and I believe that is enough for the characters to feel real. My favorite character, Filippa, is the most mysterious one from the group in terms of backstory, but I know enough that she is willing to do everything â even hide a murder â just to protect her friends, her family, probably because she doesnât have one of her own in more ways than one. And I got that from a single line that she said to Oliver when he asked why she hid the fact James did it.Â
âYou all were the only family I had. Iâd have killed Richard myself if I thought it would keep the rest of you safe. [...] I was terrified youâd do exactly what you did.â
Each main character of IWWV have their own tragedy to their character which is rooted upon the âtypeâ of character they are in the beginning of the story. They all both defy and fit perfectly in their own roles in the narrative and that is their tragedy. Oliver is the sidekick who became the center of attention by his arrest, James is a hero who murdered a friend, Richard is a dead tyrant, Meredith is a temptress who wishes she was seen as anything but, Wren is the broken and frankly, no longer as innocent as she ought to be ingenue, and Alexander is the villain with good intentions. Filippa is the curious case as she does not have set role, this does not excuse her from being tragic, but it does makes sense how she is the only able to stay relatively stable throughout the story. In the very beginning we were already told of what tragedy these characters would have and it is all connected to their role in a stereotypical narrative, how they are type-casted in their plays.
I would go into each of the characters and their own personal tragedies and flaws, but that would be really long, so I wonât. But these characters and the play on the type-casting of these actors are perfectly executed. I would like to cite Jamesâ arc for this as he is described as being the hero, but slowly, as we see how he and everyone else copes with Richardâs death and how he gets casted into the villain role, we saw how this changes him and how his archetype of being the hero slowly crumbles to make way for a darker James filled with immense amount of guilt that only perpetuates with Oliverâs arrest. We see how it breaks him as his hero persona is no longer his. He takes up the role of the villain, and that kills him because he was never meant to play that role. Everything about him screams hero and I think he himself believed that, so his sense of self crumbles away as it is slowly revealed that he is in fact, the villain of this story. And yet, what makes him the villain is still technically a heroic act. He killed a tyrant after all. And that is just hella clever.
IWWV almost reads as really complicated fairytale if you think of it as these characters as the archetypes of their roles. It is definitely the most fascinating and creative way of character writing Iâve ever seen and that is a feat on its own. It follows a formula, yet it defies the routinely-ness of that, the audience can understand whatâs going on like in the middle of the book and I think that serves well in this scenario because now, itâs only a matter of dread and waiting for the final act to commence. I never felt like I was reading an intermission in any parts of it as everything, both character and environment, serve the plot really well.Â
Criticisms/Pet Peeves
But of course, despite all my praise, this book is not free of the criticisms and I did feel frustration for some parts of it whether it was good or bad frustration. Itâs not a perfect book and I have a few gripes with it.Â
The way it treats Meredith and Wren specifically is appalling. It, sadly, goes into that really bad trope in some queer books of the women getting in the way of the men hooking up. I really feel bad for these women because, even if they still have their own things going on and they are able to be their own characters, they somehow become extensions of the men that they are involved with, and everytime, it is extremely unfair.Â
Iâll just say it, Oliver is just using Meredith to forget about James. I donât doubt he loves her or doesnât think of her as attractive because he does, but there is an aspect to their relationship that they both donât deny is really connected to Oliverâs and Jamesâ relationship. This is a flaw of Oliverâs character that I donât like because itâs so unfair for Meredith and the way they started their relationship is also kind of dubious? I mean, Meredith went for Oliver not only because he was âniceâ, she also went for him because he was the only one available and the complete opposite of Richard. Meredith had no interest in Oliver in the first few scenes of this book and Oliver also didnât really think of her much because she was already with Richard, but he couldnât deny she was pretty. I just donât like the implications of their relationship to Meredithâs character and her struggle with objectification and her constantly being sexualized by the men around her. I know Oliver wouldnât do that, but at the end of the day, isnât he just using her?Â
I desperately want to believe in their love and I do! But it gets so bad when you mix in James because suddenly, Meredith no longer exist to Oliver. He literally went to jail for the guy, of course, his love for James isnât equal in any way to his love for Meredith. I also just donât agree with how the ending has Oliver and Meredith together only for Oliver to essentially leave Meredith because he finds out that James might still be alive. He admits that he was still in love with James! I understand that polyamorous relationships are a thing, but clearly Oliver has shown to be neglecting of Meredith whenever James comes to his peripheral vision! I just think that, maybe, Meredith deserves better than how Oliver is treating her.Â
And god, donât get me started on James and Wren. They, frankly, came out of nowhere! I think its because we are limited to Oliverâs perspective so we donât see how their relationship developed and how their dynamic would go. I do see that James cares much for Wren and vice-versa and that they could totally work, but god, when you mix Oliver into it, Wren just doesnât exist. I am extremely upset about the part where James gets incredibly drunk and then drags Wren to sleep with him for the same reasons Oliver sleeps with Meredith! And I hate it.
Itâs very messy, and very well-written and very in-character, but god the implications. The way these women are being treated in the relationship drama is just to serve the menâs own relationship and how they totally belong to each other, but somehow theyâre not together and they have to stay with the women and itâs really messy and Oliver is a disaster bisexual. Maybe I just donât like love triangles or love squares, but this is just a prime example why you shouldnât date someone in the same friend group. Itâs messy and sometimes, I debate with myself if it was necessary. Either way, it happened and I canât do anything about that. Â
Overall Thoughts/Scoring
I have a lot of thoughts about IWWV and the book itself has a lot of themes and messages that really struck me. One thing that I really liked about IWWV as an aroace-spectrum person is the friend groupâs relationship because despite all the tragedy around them, they manage to be really wholesome and there examples there of platonic intimacy that I donât usually get to see in books. I love how Oliver and Filippa are essentially like siblings with how they are always there for each other and Filippa is always looking out for him and their other friends. I love the brotherly relationship between Oliver and Alexander. And despite my gripes, there are moments in Oliverâs and Meredithâs relationship that remind me that they were friends first and lovers second, and I really appreciate that.
I didnât mention Oliverâs and Jamesâ relationship as much because Iâm pretty sure thatâs what you would expect for me to say. Itâs a good relationship, I like it since Iâve always been a fan of that kind of dynamic where they transcend the meaning of best friends, theyâre gay essentially, but they are also each otherâs person and their intimacy is beyond physical. Iâm just describing sexual/romantic tension here but everytime they are in screen together, you just know that they are looking at each other with so much emotion. And of course, what Oliver did for James was incredibly stupid, but also just states what James is to Oliver. And itâs really codependent, donât get me wrong, but itâs a kind of love that makes you feel thing.
I also would like to comment on how it tackles grief and guilt as those are major themes in the story. I appreciate how despite being dead, Richard is still ever-present in Oliverâs mind and everyone elseâs that no one even bothers to go to his room aside from Oliver who just has to because he has to clean it. Guilt haunts everyone in If We Were Villains and I feel for that, especially when it comes to grief. It captures perfectly what mourning for someone who did some really bad stuff to you is like with the added guilt that you somehow contributed to his death. And itâs cruel how these people just have to deal with that major change; nothing is ever the same when someone dies and we canât do anything about it. The show must go on, unfortunately. And thatâs what happens to these characters, on or off the stage, life will continue with or without them and they have to go with out, otherwise they might end up drowning in their own misery. I think that is much the moral we can find in IWW, if it even has one.
//SPOILERS END HERE//
My scoring would be an 8/10. Itâs really good and I recommend it to anyone whoâs a fan of shakespeare or really into dark academia. I wouldnât say it would be the best introduction book for this genre, but it got me into it so maybe it could work for you too!

I fully support people being able to curate their own online experience, and blocking anyone they feel they need to.
That being said, the occasional times I've gone to like/comment on Pinterest and can't because I've been blocked have always been a bit baffling. I don't get into debates on Pinterest and the majority of my interactions are positive types, sharing a joke, telling someone good job, or occasionally correcting misinformation in a dull sort of way.
It's extra baffling when I double check the users boards and it's a bunch of fairly benign and inane stuff like comics, funny tumbrl quotes, fandom, art, memes... The same stuff I tend to gravitate towards incidentally. Not exactly highly divisive stuff. (Side note: I don't get into ship wars).
I always wonder, did they misinterpret something I said? Easy enough to happen online and my brain damage post-Covid definitely doesn't help. But of course there's no chance to apologize or correct what I was trying to say.
I'm sure some of them are just plain disagreements. Which okay, sure, if you gotta protect your sanity you do what you gotta do.
Course that leads to the last thing which always makes me feel a bit sad. The number of times I've gone to tell someone they have a good point, or their joke made me laugh, or to offer encouragement about something.
They never get to see those either.
I dunno, I guess I just wish there was some kind of less nuclear option sometimes, or at least a way to tell what it was that set them off. Maybe I've got a turn of phrase that isn't taken the way I expect. Be nice to be able to have the option to change something if I need to.
But I'll never know.

Breaking Down the Wall with Pinterest
Pinterest has become an unexpected ally in my journey to break down and understand complex texts like William Blakeâs "The Little Vagabond." What started as a simple search for related imagery turned into a deeper exploration of the poem's themes, symbols, and ideas, all through the visual language that Pinterest excels at.
I began with William Blake himself, diving into his various paintings and portraits. Seeing his work laid out like this gave me a better feel for his unique style and the deeper meanings behind his art and poetry. Although I couldnât find much directly related to "The Little Vagabond," this challenge nudged me to think creatively. For example, I stumbled upon an image from an anime called Vagabondânot what I expected, but it fit surprisingly well with the poemâs themes of spirituality.
When I was exploring the idea of God and Devil as Friends on Pinterest, I wasnât entirely sure what Iâd find. Blake often blurs the lines between good and evil, challenging conventional religious beliefs, so I wanted to see how this concept could be visually represented. Thatâs when I came across the quote: "God has a plan. That doesn't mean it's a good one." It struck me immediately because it seemed to encapsulate the uneasy relationship between divinity and morality that Blake explores. The quote I found resonated with this idea of Blakeâs belief that the institutional Church has distorted the image of God, making Him a figure of fear and control rather than love and freedom because it questions the inherent goodness of divine plans as dictated by religious institutions. It suggests that just because something is presented as part of Godâs plan doesnât necessarily mean itâs beneficial or just. This echoes the little vagabondâs dissatisfaction with the Churchâs strictness and the idea that true goodness might not always align with the Churchâs teachings.
Some searches were more challenging. I was looking for a "Priest at a pub" to match the poem's imagery, but the results werenât quite what I had in mind. Still, I didnât give up. I kept searching and eventually found something that clicked with the tag "Congregation Pub" âa priest talking to people in a pub, which captured the communal, more joyful atmosphere the little vagabond longs for.
When searching for an "Ideal Church," I wanted to find a place that felt welcoming, not stiff or judgmental. As someone who isnât religious, many of the images felt cold to me, but eventually I found one that looked warm and inviting, the kind of place that aligns with the childâs vision in the poem. Finding an image of an "Ideal Church" that felt welcoming, rather than stiff or judgmental, was important because it allowed me to connect more personally with the childâs vision in "The Little Vagabond." In the poem, the child contrasts the coldness of the Church with the warmth of a tavern, imagining a church that is more joyous, inclusive, and humanâa place where God, the priest, and the congregation come together in harmony and happiness. For someone like me, who isnât religious, it can be challenging to relate to traditional depictions of churches that often seem imposing or distant.
The "Critique" tag led me on another unexpected journey. I wasnât sure what I was looking forâjust a certain vibe. Most of the results leaned towards academic critiques, but then I found a powerful image of Jesus driving merchants out of the temple. This scene, representing a critique of turning religion into business, echoed the poemâs themes in a way I hadnât anticipated, and it added a new dimension to my understanding. This scene echoed the childâs frustration in "The Little Vagabond." The childâs wish for the Church to be more like a warm, joyful tavern is, in its own way, a rejection of the cold, transactional nature of institutional religion. Just as Jesus opposed the commercialization of the temple, the child in the poem opposes the way the Church has become a place of rigid control rather than spiritual nourishment.
Finally, the tag "Happiness and Joy vs. Oppression" brought me to a quote about love and freedom that felt like the perfect encapsulation of the poemâs message. It was one of those rare moments where everything just clicked. This quote perfectly mirrored the childâs yearning for a religion that isnât about control or repression but about love, freedom, and genuine happiness. It captured the essence of what the child in the poem was trying to expressâthat true spirituality should liberate rather than confine. This realization brought the poemâs tension between joy and repression to life in a new way. It made me think about how Blakeâs critique isnât just about the physical coldness of the Church but about a deeper spiritual coldnessâa lack of true love and compassion. The Church, as depicted in the poem, tries to possess and control, rather than uplift and liberate. The childâs vision of a joyful, loving church is a radical departure from this, representing an ideal where love is about giving freedom, not imposing restrictions.
In the end, Pinterest didnât just help me understand "The Little Vagabond"; it made the process more personal, more engaging. Curating these boards and finding the right images wasnât just about visualizing the poemâit was about discovering new connections and deepening my relationship with the text. Itâs a reminder that sometimes, stepping outside the usual methods of analysis can lead to surprising and rewarding insights.
