Well, someone's not in a good mood

[spindlewoed]

You have to understand. I don't "ship" Harry with the smoker on the balcony, I think whatever they have going on canonically is way funnier and touching than anything anyone could come up with.

There is so much within the dynamic itself. It’s a middle aged man and a younger man who are nothing alike and everything like each other. It’s the smoker being the person that kickstarts Harry’s sexuality journey anew, seeing Harry’s fascination with him and being amused by it because (aside from Harry being probably the first man in a while who’s managed to leave him dumbfounded in a positive way) the smoker *knows* what’s happening in Harry’s mind and as he puts it, it’s beautiful.

Don't get me wrong, the mutual attraction is there. The smoker flirts with Harry every other two lines (girl why the fuck are you flirting with a cop you're insane. I'm obsessed with you) yet makes fun of him in the same breath while Harry is absolutely clueless the whole time because he's too busy staring at his abs. Couldn't come up with anything funnier if I tried.

I love this high drama check, this is exaclty what it feels like to speak to clueless boomers who have no idea what they're talking about. Still, once Harry admits that he might be part of the "underground" as he puts it, the smoker is immediately excited and encourages him to think about it. It's very sweet.

(I know everyone has probably seen this dialogue 100 times by now but I love the phrasing here. literally twink_boutta_pounce.jpeg)

And as a side note I really like this emphaty check in response to Harry's little breakdown after the failed suggestion check the first time you meet him. The smoker like damn he just like me fr.

I don't think more smoker interactions were needed at all or that they would ever talk again post-game but it's interesting to think about what other converations they could have, even just so we could learn a bit more about him. They both have an interest in art. They're both stuck in a place they can't leave if they wanted to and yet find beauty in it, they both have regrets about past relationships. They both find talking with the other a charming experience in a way or another. If I want to be indulgent, they both could benefit from learning about what being gay means for a younger/older generation, especially since they both have such different life experiences with their identities.

It's all fanfic talk, and obviously no cops at pride and so on but their interactions did make me think about community and recognition through the other. A flirt for the sake of a flirt, a “maybe in another lifetime” but this lifetime is good too because they did meet and leave an impression on each other before parting ways. That's *beautiful* too.

Male 'yautja' x female reader - alien 'reverse harem' - Chapter Two

Due to Patrons' enthusiasm over on Discord and your comments on the previous chapter (thank you!), here's the second chapter! As I said on Discord, this is gonna be a mix of reader POV and 'hunter'/yautja POV. I'm not giving away our friend's name in this one, but future 'hunter' chapters will have their names in. The next chapter is reader POV again, and we meet the rest of the crew.

Also there's this:

(text is a screenshot of a Discord message: Ghosti: It’s basically just an excuse for the reader to boink different aliens (sometimes more than one at once) but I’m really enjoying writing it so far.)

So yeah, this is just a fast track to 'how many aliens can the reader boink?'

Content in this chapter: young (but still adult) horny alien POV, self-deprecating attitude and self-worth issues, non-human anatomy referenced ('slick, sheath'), and his quite severely injured state continues...

Wordcount: 2690

Preview:

I wake slowly and painfully, blinking up at the ceiling of my ship and wondering how I came to be there, when the last thing I really remember was scrapping with the Enemy.

A series of rattling clicks rises in my throat and my mandibles twitch in indignation. Surely one of the others hasn't come to help me? It was my First Hunt, and they were honour-bound to let me make my first kill, or let me die trying! I had actually thought I was going to die when the Enemy’s tail spike punched through my gut like that. And my shoulder.

Actually, now that I think of it, I’m surprised that I’m alive enough to be surprised at all.

Fuck. Ouch.

Oh, fuck, my guts hurt.

Nothing in training ever hurt like this. It does hurt less than it did when it first happened though, and all because…

…because the human helped me.

Fuck.

Did this even count as a successful First Hunt if… No. I killed it. I ripped its damned head right off. I feel a growl rumble up from my chest and my mandibles flare. Nasty fucker. The growling makes my stomach hurt though, so I force it to stop.

Where is the human now?

Carefully, I sit up and discover that the healing gel has closed off the wounds and kick-started the healing process. My flesh beneath the hardened patches of gel feels itchy where my body is already knitting itself back together, and it’s so tender, but at least it’s healing. I’ve always hated feeling weak and small. Ever since I was a pup and I was made to feel less than worthy because of my runty size. Well fuck everyone who said I’d never make a Blooded Warrior. I’ve found my squad now and we hunt together. And now I’ve completed my First Hunt and killed an Enemy by myself. Even Stark tolerates me, though I can tell he still thought I wouldn't survive this hunt.

Well, I did it, so fuck him. Actually, if I know Stark, it’ll be the big guy getting fucked, not Stark himself. He’s the only one of us who never takes it. Whenever he fucks me, I always end up walking funny afterwards. Bastard. Gods, it always feels so good though…

Despite my injuries, my cock twitches deep in its sheath at the memory of getting pounded by Stark only a few days ago, and I groan. Now’s really not the time to think about being fucked. Alchemist is only a few years older than me, but no one else on our squad seems to have as high a sex drive as I do, damn it. The Old Man says it’s natural and healthy – desired even – in one my age, but I can’t help feeling a bit embarrassed that it takes quite so little to set me off. It’s not like I’m a randy adolescent in the communal barracks anymore. Gods, that was… inconvenient.

Fuck.

All the same, I’m halfway to slicking myself already at the mere memory of Stark’s aggressive snarls and the way his claws had actually punctured the skin at my hips while he drove his cock repeatedly into my dripping wet slit…

Fuck fuck fuck. Not now, you moron.

With another chittering sigh, I ignore the way my sheath is throbbing, and swing my legs off the bed before I leave a mess on the sheets. When my clawed paws hit the cold ceramic floor, I have a go at standing up. It takes me two goes, but I get myself upright eventually, and then I cast about for my helmet.

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day, lovelies! <3

Thought I'd write a lil' something to get y'all in the spirit for tomorrow, and you KNOW I had to write Terzo for this one lol 😈 Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow 🖤 V-Day isn't just for romantic love, so be sure to show some love and appreciation to your friends, partner(s), pets, whomever you hold most dear! Enjoy!!! Xx

Better Late Than Never (Papa Emeritus III x Gender-Neutral!Reader)

Tags: 3rd Person POV, Fluff w/ Minimal Smut, Terzo Is A Cocky Asshole, Yearning/Pining, Desperation, Groping, Grinding, Reader CANNOT Catch A Hint And Neither Can Terzo

Valentines Day is quite the beloved holiday within the Ministry. Mainly because it's just considered a fucking holiday, and any excuse to celebrate getting intimate is a good excuse in their book. Everyone celebrated, even the most sexually and romantically reserved members managed to find a date for the evening, whether they chose to spend the whole time screwing or not.

Sure, there were plenty of folks in the Ministry who enjoyed the holiday as a celebration of love of all kinds, who would show their appreciation towards their friends, family, and lovers with heartfelt cards and flowers, to spend their quality time with the ones they hold most dear. But for most people, especially the single ones, it was just an excuse to get drunk, eat chocolate, and boink as many people as possible.

And Terzo was most people.

Terzo always had Siblings of Sin and Ghouls alike throwing themselves at him, but come February, it was only amplified. Every corner he would turn, he would find yet another lustful face staring back at him, either attempting to seduce him or shyly batting their eyes and only wishing they had the courage to approach him. That being said, he always had a handful of "dates" for the evening. It was a lot of people to satisfy, and sure, by the end of the night both his balls and his wallet would be empty from the amount of drinks and heart-shaped chocolates he spent on all his sweethearts, but to him, it was worth it, and he was more than content.

But then he saw them. An unfamiliar face, looking nervous and unsure. A new Sibling of Sin had joined the Ministry, and a beautiful one at that. He was thrilled at first, someone new to see sprawled in his sheets. Once they get settled in, it's only a matter of time before they flock to him.

But only, they didn't flock to him. They barely even acknowledged him. Valentines day is rapidly approaching, and the poor Sibling didn't even have one date yet. They're probably just shy, he thought to himself, and so he generously approached them first. Just a little flirting, and they would be wrapped around his finger. They were kind, and funny, and talked to him so smoothly that they couldn't possibly have been too shy to score a date. They even managed to get him flustered a few times, if you can imagine.

Terzo started to think they just weren't into him. And that was fine, he understands he's not everybodys cup of tea, though he is mosts. But the way they flirted back with him, the way they continue to flirt with each little interaction they share. The subtle glances, touches, and the way they hold intense eye contact when receiving their unholy communion, their tongue even daring to dart out and catch his thumb for a brief moment; it was so clear he was at the very least of interest! The way they look at him is enough to make the devil sweat, surely it's safe to assume an attraction was there. Any day now they were going to beg for him to warm their sheets this V-day.

But that day didn't come. He didn't understand. They wanted him, and he wanted them, what else is there? With all this sexual tension, teasing each other so hard Terzo thought his balls might burst at any given moment, why hasn't he been invited to their chambers yet? And on this day, of all days, knowing the one he was looking forward to the most is just out of his reach, he felt something he's never felt before. Rejection.

With his looks, charisma, and reputation, he's never really had to deal with this before. Everybody he's ever wanted has wanted him back tenfold, he's far from used to being on the other end, chasing instead of being chased, craving someone more than he is craved. He felt crazy, and honestly kind of ashamed. He knows he shouldn't feel this way. He has about ten-ish other dates to please that night (he loses track) so why is he so hung up on this one? There was just something about them he couldn't quite put his finger on, a certain allure that drove him mad and made him blind to any other willing Sibling he's bedded before.

He consulted Secondo about this. Secondo's been around the block far more times than Terzo has, and has in return dealt with far more rejections. As he spoke, Secondo raised a brow. He chided that Terzo simply had an issue with his ego, that much like Lucifer, his pride and arrogance would be his downfall. Secondo pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"You are so used to everything being handed to you on a silver platter. When something doesn't immediately hover to you first, you want it more, simply because you cannot have it. You are going mad, fratello, because for once, you are having to work for what you want." Secondo ended his speech with a huff. "Did you even think about asking them, rather than waiting for them to ask you?"

Terzo honestly had forgotten that was an option.

Today was Valentine's Day, and despite the variety of people on his arm, there was only one person on his mind, and they weren't even there. Terzo tried to rationalize what he was feeling with what Secondo said; that the weird melancholy pang in his chest was just out of his ego not getting what it wanted. But he can't relax, can't have fun, probably couldn't even get it up right now, not like this! Whatever he was feeling, it was deeper than his pride being knocked down a peg or two.

He stood there, in one hand a bouquet of red roses freshly plucked from Primos garden (without his permission) and in the other hand held a box of cheap chocolates and a can of reddi whip (don't ask what for). And with a pocket full of condoms, he was ready to knock on the door of his first date of the evening. Normally he'd be excited to get his freak on and put those condoms and reddi whip to good use, but he just stood there, apprehensive and incredibly flaccid. He'd been with this person many times before, and they were good, really good. But not what he wanted right now.

Fuck it. He just left. He felt awful for doing so, abandoning all of his promised dates quite literally last minute, but he just couldn't enjoy himself like this. He meant to just head back to his chambers and wallow in his loneliness, maybe have a sad wank, but it's like his feet had a mind of their own. In turn, he was led right to the front door of the one occupying all his thoughts. This is stupid, he thought to himself, by now they definitely have a date. With their looks, their kindness, and the sweet sound of their laughter, they were definitely asked out by a handful of people smarter and less presumptuous than himself. It's way too late for this.

He knocked. He instantly cringed when his knuckles hit the door, heart racing like he was a kid again asking out a schoolyard crush. They answered, looking nothing short of perfection. A jolt of anxiety shot through him when he heard a quiet voice in the background. Of course they already have someone over. Terzo mouth went dry when they spoke. "Can I help you, Papa?"

He fumbled over his words. "N-no. Well, I mean yes, or uh, well, maybe. Y-you look, er- you look nice." Really, Terzo? Nice is the best you got? What happened to the Casanova you once were? "You have a date, I presume?" He felt the relief wash over him when they shook their head.

"No actually, I just turned a movie on." They explained. "What brings you here? By the looks of it, you're the one ready for a date." His palms began to sweat.

"Actually, no, not exactly. Not anymore, I mean." He conceded. He was trying so hard to find the words, to just say it. They looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Someone blow you off?"

"No, no, I... I blew them off, to be honest." He sighed. "I changed my mind on who I want to spend my time with this evening..." He swallows the lump in his throat. Just ask it, Terzo.

"Oh, really? Who?" They asked. They seemed so genuinely curious, it only frustrated Terzo more that they couldn't take the hint so he didn't have to spell it out.

"Eh... You. I mean, if you'll have me." He tensed up, truly expecting rejection. Their eyes widened, looking down at the flowers and chocolates, and then back up at him, piecing it all together.

"Terzo Emeritus, are you... asking me to be your Valentine?" They said slowly, a faint smile playing across their lips. C'mon, don't make me say it. He nodded. "Si! So... will you?" They opened their mouth to answer, but suddenly stopped, smirking mischievously.

"Will I what?" They feigned confusion, a flirtatious glimmer in their narrowed eyes. "You're going to need to say it, Papa." This snarky motherfucker. Now he knows how everyone he's ever spoken to feels. Yet, despite the painful frustration, this might be the horniest he's ever been. He loves teasing, what can I say?

"Will you..." He swallowed his pride with a grimace. "Will you be... my Valentine?" He lifted an arm to present them the flowers, which they gladly accepted.

"I'd love to, Papa... but that depends... Did you bring condoms?"

"Always. do you even know me?"

They pulled him inside, and the groping and kissing started immediately. Terzos shaking hands drop everything he was holding to knead at their ass, desperate tongue begging to enter their mouth. They let him in, and their tongues fight for dominance, clashing violently in battle. To his surprise, their tongue is the winner, not that he was entirely disappointed by that. They collapse together on the couch, ignoring the movie playing. They can always rewind, but right now there are better things to attend to.

He feels like a teenager again, all gittery and nervous, anxiously hoping he'll perform well enough for them. He knows he always manages to satisfy, and he never once had doubted his sexpertise, but this feels different, in a way he can't explain. He can't think about that right now though, he's too busy focusing on not cumming in his pants from their skillful grinding.

Temporarily, they pull away, much to Terzos dismay, only to ask, "hey, what's the reddi whip for?" Terzo chuckles.

"How about I just show you?"

Ok but actually following up on the orifus thing real talk tho. Rith was worried about her because she was a prostitute and HE THOUGHT bringing her out into the wild, into a freezing tower with barely any warmth where food is 50/50 percent chance you get to eat since you have to hunt, all while working for a shady employer you know nothing about while surrounding her with strange men that could boink her and dump her body in a forest and no one would find her, WAS A BETTER IDEA than leaving her in Bruma where she had a roof over her head, could pay for her meals, and at least had a sense of the customers she'd be dealing with instead of betting her chances on randos--one of which is an extremely racist Nord who I do not want her alone in a room with at any circumstance.

Smth not right here Rith. You need your brain checked. Did Manimarco give you the brain centipedes so you would bring him his wifey?? Was this planned? -.-

👏 Rith 👏 is 👏 an 👏 idiot 👏

I've been playing with the though of Mannimarco invading his brain as soon as he heard of the job opportunity. Don't known if I like it tho, has too much a touch of destiny of them coming together and I can't decide if it takes the rawness out of the story. And that Rith indeed did make this shit decision on his own because he thought it's better for her (without asking my girl what she thinks tho).

Basically I like the thought of Mannimarco deciding on a whim on Ria's fate. Well, I have to decide now because of the next chapter being in his POV. You know, because Ria can't tell that much right now 💀

[charmwasjess]

Thoughts about Dooku and Sifo Dyas in the imperial era? Like if they role-swapped with Cal Kestis' or something?

Oh, this is SUCH a fun ask, thank you. :D 

Dooku in an Imperial world. It seems like it would be so tasty, but I might be getting too distracted picturing him in those slutty little uniforms. 

The problem I see is that Dooku by RotS seemed so genuinely fucked up to me, to the point of being almost incapable of thriving in an Imperial world. Legends does a great job depicting his absolutely crumbling mental and emotional state, a man who loses track of his own POV and replaces it with Sidious’s in the middle of a book he’s narrating, but I think even in the relatively sparser depictions of him during that time in current canon, the cracks show. He’s not scheming against either Palpatine or the Jedi effectively, he seems like he’s losing control of his own kingdom of lies, his final (?) Clone Wars appearance with the ritual to psychic-attack Yoda, he seems downright fucking miserable the whole time. He’s like just sitting in a room dissociating when Sidious calls to tell him he’ll need his blood for this ritual, and you can fucking HEAR his sigh. 

Beyond his emotional and mental state, I don't feel like we have a clear idea of what Dooku thought his own end game for after the war. Stover’s batshit “honorable retirement in Sidious’s wonderful new Empire” smells a little off to me and I think the RotS novel got decanonized? I could see him wanting to take over training of the Inquisitors - fuck, he’s been trying to do that with his Sith apprentices for ages - but really, is Sidious going to let him anywhere near that project? Somehow, I don't think so.

I think Dooku ends up quite like he himself daydreams about in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous:

I don’t see a depressed, lightning-cooked shell of himself doing particularly well or lasting long in a cutthroat Imperial command structure. Vader was groomed for the role for years and still is shown struggling with his position in the OT. 

Of course, it’s much more fun to picture him coming to his senses, realizing Sidious’s bullshit, and joining the fight against the Empire in some kind of personal vendetta against the man who convinced him to destroy everything he loved and then planned to dump him, but… I don’t know. Dooku seems broken and defeated to me at the end, and coming to his senses about everything he gave up to get to that rock bottom, I think would completely collapse him as a person. I’m trying to do something like this in my fic The Thunder Answered Back, which... perhaps tellingly... hasn't been updated in a year because Dooku just keeps lying down on the floor. 

Sifo-Dyas is much more interesting and likely to my mind, because he’s essentially been preparing his whole life for this moment. The Living Force has him by the end of his life being able to use his precognition effectively enough that the Council is using it as a tool, presumably that would be a huge advantage in staying one step ahead of Imperial raids and Inquisitors. He’s also a Jedi Master, former High Councilmember, trained by a High Republic era Jedi Master himself. He represents a huge amount of generational knowledge of the Jedi Order.

@dapurinthos had a FANTASTIC Sifo-Dyas on the Path AU post reply somewhere that I wish I could find because they are smarter and funnier than me and it was truly perfect. In summation: yes, Sifo-Dyas is a huge pain in the ass for the Empire. Boinking Inquisitors on the head features strongly.

Now. Fanfic nonsense it? Swap in younger idealist Dooku and his seer bestie Sifo-Dyas into a Cal Kestis scenario? Two brave fated young Padawans against the Empire? No. They die the first day. Going off just the first part of Dooku: Jedi Lost, those two idiots lost a fight with: a bookshelf, each other, literally some bacta, a hallucination (several times), Dooku’s dad, moss… and that’s just going off the top of my head.

Sorry guys. They get crushed in one of those scary doors in like the first two seconds.

[abrieenthusiast]

okay there are a lot of things that im excited for in season 3 of heartstopper for both film brain reasons and fandom reasons so lets just get to it:

in a recent interview with jenny and joe, joe mentioned how he and georgina (who plays jane) got to improvise their argument scenes and i quote: "if you can’t hear us speaking, we’re just saying the most horrible and rude things to each other that could never be in Heartstopper" so that means in my mind that a lot of scene such as the this winter argument are going to be either under the same general umbrella OR a completely different interpretation of the argument in the book which im psyched for

just the casting of so. many. family members. for episode 5

if theyre gonna do the split perspectives like the journal entries in episode 4! i can def get how that could be difficult but with the talk from alice about how special 4 is, i think it might be cool to see an unseen format for this particular section of the story

how they handle elle being at a different school after finally getting into a relationship with tao

WHATS THE VIBE GONNA BE AT NICKS BIRTHDAY cuz we know what happens after so are we gonna see that tension leading up or not? especially since we have other characters in the mix now

how will they tie the jack maddox minicomic to the seasons plot? i think its happening in episode 7 or 6 by my guess but either way we will SEE!

back to the topic of the journal entries, since the timeline goes "episode 4 nicks pov/charlies, episdoe 5 no main pov, episode 6 charlies pov w therapy and all that", will they shift around events or move where the voiceover happens specifically?

not even a question I AM SO HYPED FOR THE CHANGE IN CAMERA DIRECTION THANKS TO ANDY NEWBURY ill make another post about this but in a phrase i mean his choice of focusing on the performances through simplistic shots

just andy newburys direction in general! i think it was a good call to bring in someone with more knowledge on directing more serious stuff such as season 3, and you can tell the tone shift is done really well!

how theyll handle issac and james' relationship now that the ship has sailed! will they stay friends, will it be awkward?

new! animation! things! i say this bc last season they got more confident by doing new animation tactics that werent straight from the comics, so im interested in what theyll try out this time

just seeing nick and charlie as a fully realized couple, theyve gotten past the being out in public now, so although they are still changing as characters, the relationship doesnt feel as "new" anymore (that is ofc before they start boinking"

where are the f bombs going to be? like which ones are they choosing bc they cant have too many so they have to pick and choose wisely

tao becoming a film bro because that is very personal for me specifically

im sure ill add more but this is what we've got so far FJLKDSLD

[sciderman]

Can we just aknowledge that movie Vanessa is basicly just a cute plot device Wade can boink with? I can't recall a single thing that she didn't do just for herself and not to motivate Wade into whatever he's gonna do. Whitch as much as i like movie Vanessa because she's just loveable and cute, there's not really much we know about her that isn't that she loves Wade, would do anything for him, works as a sex worker (whitch is so valid btw) and....buys erasers? And Deadpool & Wolverine seems to continue the trend to just be there for Wade happiness or pain, and that's it, truly a shame.

oh buddy, let me tell you about my whole different turn of events for the deadpool movie where vanessa leaves wade at the end of deadpool 1 and has agency. it's so, so sexy.

i talk about it here

imagine, an ending for deadpool 1 that's actually subversive - "hero" doesn't get the girl. which is far more deadpoolian than what we get. vanessa walks away (alive), because she's just not into this new ultra-violent wade, and wade gets all the same manpain he gets after vanessa's death - still feeling like it's his fault, but also has this drive to maybe become better to win her back or even just for himself, and hey hey, we don't have to kill vanessa and she can come back (with powers, maybe) any time she wants. maybe she's still in love with wade. maybe she comes back for him. but it's her decision to make.

i think you're unfortunately completely, totally right that vanessa is literally just a trophy in the films - she's just there to be wade's perfect little dream and object of affection and she has nothing of her own going on - and it is a shame. especially because damn. vanessa in the comics is messed up. and the movie teases vanessa's tortured childhood, but – in the comics she's a mutant, a runaway, and she's - well, she becomes a mercenary too. and all of that is so freaking sexy and tasty and interesting, but the movies want nothing to do with it. because they're cowards.

if you're interested in a take on vanessa that kind of merges the comics lore with the movie lore and delves into her perspective on her relationship with wade - i wrote a pretty fun little explorative fic in vanessa's pov that i'd love people to read so they can love vanessa like i do. please check it out!

you, who are inlaid with starlight (you, who are gilded by dawn) (fic)

hohohOHOOHOIJOHOOO u have selected

ok so one time i was chronically online with @bayheart and @urieskooki because when am i not and we were taking about somnophila fics because there’s a few in gaalee that are simply delightoful. and y’all know me i simply have to stick my nose everywhere so then i was like wait let me cook (except tbh i was making a bread loaf that day so it was let me bake?) and then i started writing a somno fic

it’s set up so that it’s two unique smut scenes, one from each POV of the awake character, and it’s built around contrasts. one is boink to sleep with moon/night imagery, one is good morning boink with sunrise imagery. because when can i not utilise dramatic references to orbital revolution in my gay ninja fanfic. also this one is technically set in the sass universe although once again i am not linking them, same as i did with itsb knfgshfhdjjk

would u like the summary and taglist 😌

happy wincest wednesday! what type of gimmick episode do you think they should have done on supernatural (and made wincesty) that they missed out on? body swap between sam and dean is a free space i guess. i think they should have had an episode where sam and dean can't/aren't allowed to speak during a case and have to communicate nonverbally, maybe with the occasional stupid subtitle for their gestures.

happy wincest wednesday, frauke <333

Your idea for a deaf&dumb episode is hysterical and I am now So Sad we didn't get it. Dean's cute lil vamp gesture but for 40 minutes? Sign my bitchass up. Plus, to make it wincesty, we could finally have had canon Dean Winchester do the blowjob imitation thing where you push your tongue into your cheek, and Sam would roll his eyes so hard but then push Dean to his knees anyway, and you know what, Dean'll go with that option too. Turnabout's fair play.

One thing about this is that we had so many gimmick episodes that are canon, lol. A Christmas ep! A Halloween ep! The ep where it's all a dream! Outsider POV! A whole ep full of AUs to other shows! The gimmick to end all gimmicks, crushing the fourth wall down to dust not once but... what, 4 or 5 times? It's actually bizarre that they never did Sam-Dean bodyswap because that's just so... obvious. Maybe they physically wouldn't have been able to stop themselves from making dick jokes and haircut threats the whole time and decided to avoid the whole thing.

The one thing I can think of that we legit didn't get is a birthday episode. (I am not counting the four seconds of it in the Mrs Butters ep.) It'd be an obvious one, too, because Dean's birthday would've fit perfectly into the return from the midseason hiatus, and all sorts of nonsense could've happened. Because it's SPN, it'd end up being a No Good Terrible Very Bad Day, and so Dean would keep trying to have nice things for his birthday and oh gosh, it just wouldn't go right. :( Sam disappears on him in the middle of the night to go on some trip. The Impala gets a flat tire. He tries to order happy birthday waffles for himself at the diner but they're soggy and the waitress turns out to be a ghost or some shit. He has to dig a grave but it's January and it's cold af. The liquor store is closed. His favorite jeans develop a hole. He tries valiantly to hit on a girl at the bar but she's a perfectly nice lesbian. What is a birthday boy to do. :(

Luckily, when he finally gets back to the bunker/motel, Sam's there with a full spread of like KFC and a twelve-pack and bourbon and special porn ordered just for him, like, man, where were you all day? (Wincest parenthetical: And then they boink mightily, after a brief pause where Dean gets a charlie horse in his calf. Luckily Sam is there to kiss it better. And then he'll lever himself sweatily out of bed to take a piss, and--) Sam picked up a (cream) pie, special, and holds out his lighter for Dean to blow out to make his wish, and Dean rolls his eyes and says, dude, what do you take me for, but he blows it out anyway. And then creampies. The crash to credits can have party favor noises. :)

Mom said it's my turn to talk about the gay nonbinary clown

Thinking about Fizzy's gender is like looking at a kaleidoscope. He exists outside of the binary and plays with gender as much as he plays up a character on the stage. It is genuine joy and fun for him to experiment with what he wears and the "feeling" that comes from them all. He is pure gender euphoria all the time and especially as a disabled character, a deep point of healing between him and his body in recovery. His gender is as simple as, "I do this because it feels good." full stop. He takes testerone (from the gender store in Lust obvi) and poses in Ozzie's silkiest robes. What more do you need?

Sexuality is a whole other world purely because dating didn't matter to him until, well, Ozzie. He was in recovery until his early 20s and his only situationship (from his pov) blew him the fuck up so not a great start. Had meh at best sex when his doctor gave him the OK because,,,why not. And "Why not" feels like an apt description for the next 2-3 years. Boinked around to feel good, got sad about Blitzø, move on. Then he got too famous to think an NDA avoids a dick pic so he shut that shit down.

And then he meets Ozzie and yeah ok, god of Lust, checks out he would awaken something in him and-

" Oh Satan fuck me, I'm in love. Aren't I ? "

I think the discourse on this has faded from my feed, but I didn't want to clog up other people's posts: it's no real use debating how Lane sees Rory's boyfriends, because she's pretty much used as a mouthpiece for how ASP wants the audience to think. She wants the audience to think that Dean is the cutest, most adorable guy ever, so Lane parrots that POV even as she writes him as irrational, jealous and prone to violence. She wants the audience to think that Jess is bad news (except when she's pulling the audience into a false sense of complacency) so Lane parrots that view. She doesn't seem to care how Dean comes off half the time and Jess is defined in his s series regular days as being a total mess (because his issues are largely outside of Rory and his life does not revolve around her) so this works much of the time, until we get into the season 5 era. Then I think it gets wacky.

Lane thinks Jess asking Rory to come away with him is incredibly romantic, while Rory just seems hurt and upset about the whole thing, because she's still angry at him and can't trust him. Then Rory sleeps with Dean, fights with Lorelai about how this is not the greatest idea ever, and Lane is giddy about how romantic it is that she boinked her married ex, someone whose wife Lane probably interacts with several times a week, because they're so in love (even though they weren't twelve hours ago and won't be twelve hours from now) and it doesn't even occur to her to question how messed up this is? She was not trying to be supportive, she genuinely thought this was an adorable love story. Gag me. Of course, Lane is once again the audience mouthpiece, because Lorelai is the voice of morality that Rory doesn't want to listen to and we're supposed to think this shit is cute, even though Rory hightails it out of the country the next day because while she might be happy to lose her virginity at last, she knows Lorelai is right and she needs to remove herself from this situation.

(And at this late date I do think it was mostly about getting laid, because Rory put zero thought into what it would be like to actually date Dean again. Marty was right there, Rory. Wouldn't have caused you this much trouble. Just saying).

The thing is that Lane's reaction was already so WTF that it makes even less sense that later in season 5 she's revealed to want to hang onto her virginity until she's married and that she also marries and has children young. So this girl is quickly revealed to have a conservative code of personal ethics (something that wasn't that out of line with how she previously acted, because she was so naive) yet ASP chose to have her rhapsodize about how awesome it was that her best friend slept with a married man? Make it make sense, hon.

Lane doesn't really have an opinion on Logan because she doesn't know him. She only meets him twice (!)and for the most part Rory doesn't talk about him to Lane. After Zach finds out about Lane's pregnancy, Lane mostly talks to him about the babies, not Rory. They seem to have these adult spheres of influence that they won't confide in the other in because they won't understand, although I don't think it shifts completely until season 7.

Then you have AYITL. Lane unwisely allows Rory to crash at her house for weeks on end, and it's clear that she knows all of Rory's dirty business about Logan, and she doesn't judge her but also.... doesn't seem to want him near Rory and when Rory cuts Logan off tells her that growing up is sometimes hard. I don't think her inner monologue on this is anything close to what it was the last time Rory was caught in a cheating scandal.

2, 7, 12, 46, 63 for fanfic writer ask!

Thanks for the ask @grexigone ^-^

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

A bit of both? 😅 I plan them now a lot more than I used to (I used to do zero planning lol) but it's still just a very basic outline. I'll usually try and figure out what story beat I want the chapter to end on and then for each scene within the chapter I'll try to map out the POV and the major story point(s) happening. It's not uncommon to see POV ??? [plot point] or POV [character] ??? for surprisingly far into the writing process though 😅

7. How do you choose which POV to write from?

I like to alternate! Usually I'll have one or two scenes in a particular chapter that I know I want to be from a particular viewpoint, and then I'll build out from there. If I have more than two POVs, I like to have all of them at least once in the chapter. For example, in my The Batman fic, the primary POVs are Bruce and Martinez but I also make sure to always have an Alfred POV scene in each chapter too

12. How does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?

It's admittedly pretty disheartening when I don't receive feedback, if I'm being honest. My fics tend to be on the longer side (I have multiple in the 40-60k range) and spending so much time and effort and creative love to make something only for it to be largely ignored....feels kinda shitty, ya know? My primary pairing is in a really wonderful and supportive fandom, but it's also a fandom that was around for about a decade before I joined, so sometimes it feels like I'm just...yeeting labours of love out into a space where the Favourites have already been long decided. Idk, I have complicated feelings about it sometimes

On a brighter note though, I've received some truly wonderful and kind comments on my fics that I go back and read sometimes when I'm feeling down. I also especially appreciate people who still leave comments on my older, unfinished fics saying they understand the story may never be finished but that they love what's there. It's such a beautiful and kind sentiment, and it always makes me smile. (And I have at least one unfinished fic that I SWEAR TO GOD I'm going to finish one of these days lol)

(my favourite comment I've ever received was someone who said they loved my story so much it made them happy stim and I just 🥺❤️)

46. How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)

My stories tend to be pretty character/emotion-driven! Even in some of my more plot heavy ones (most notably the aforementioned The Batman fic) I still rely heavily on shifting character dynamics and emotions to keep the story energized and moving forward

63. Something you hate to see in smut.

This is more just personal preference/squick and I think "hate" is probably way too strong a word, but I don't like reading non-con/dub con/uncaring (? idk if that's the right word?) smut between my primary pairing characters. I have no issue reading scenes like that in broader stories or having them be things the pairing character(s) experience, but I don't enjoy it when that's the sort of sexual interaction the pairing characters themselves have. YMMV and more power to people who enjoy stories like that, but it's just not the sort of emotional experience I'm looking for when reading about my pairing boinking
