Reading & Other Fun Rituals: What To Do When Your Bookclub is [REDACTED] a Control/Supermassive Games crossover by TheIcyQueen

After pushing back the Hiss, Jesse figures the creepiest and/or crawliest parts of her job are behind her. No more monotone chanting coming from the shadows? Check. No more low-level employees floating up by the ceiling? Check. No more HIGH-level employees trying to kill her after getting possessed? Check, check, check! Surely things will be quieter now - calmer. Only...that's not really how the Oldest House works. Suddenly there's a whole book club's worth of Altered horror novels on the loose, and if Jesse doesn't manage to take them down and return them to the Panopticon's unsettling Repository (and its even more unsettling Curator), the papercuts alone might just spell the end for her. Is everyone's favorite Director in for a scary good time, or will she be undone by some killer library fees? There's only one way to find out!

Innocent Touch {Kyle Spencer x Reader}

Lil drabble

Kyle and you are now in a relationship, much to the dismay of Zoe and Madison, but they keep their distance. Kyle has a bad memory, so you comfort him, and let him know it's alright to feel that way.

I recommend listening to "We'll Never Have Sex" while reading. It inspired me to write this.

Your perspective

⊹˚.⋆ ₊꒷ᘏᘏ︶ଓ︶꒷꒦⊹˚ᗢ₊꒷︶ଓ︶꒷

"They did what to him?" I sat there, mouth agape as Queenie told me what happened to Kyle when Zoe and Madison first brought him back.

"Yeah. Honestly, I'm glad you came along. You taught Kyle way better than they did."

"I can hear you, you know?" Madison grumbled, walking past us. I innocently sipped my coffee, like I did not gossip about her at all. When Queenie was about to talk again, a buzz went off on my phone.

| Angel Boy ❤️ |

- Cuddle? Worry.

| Me |

- of course angel. I'll be right up with some food x ❤️

"Kyle okay?"

"He's a bit worried about something, I'll be back." I quickly picked up the coffee mug, and a bag of sweets next to me, and jogged up the stairs into my own room. Kyle was curled up in the bed, silently sobbing and hiding his face. I put everything down, then lay by him, gently pulling one of his hands away.

"Y/N.."

"I'm here my sweet boy. Shh shh, what's wrong?" I held him close, and he eventually wrapped his arms around me, nuzzling into my neck.

"Mem...memory." Kyle stopped sobbing but I could tell he wanted to cry.

"Oh, my angel. It's alright. No one will ever hurt you like that. Ever again."

I kept Kyle in my arms for a while, cuddling him close, and letting him cry, sob, or whatever he felt like he was feeling.

The evening turned to night quickly, and Kyle was asleep. I kissed his forehead, but he woke up in a panic. "No...no! Go away..!"

"Kyle! Sweets, it's me..it's Y/N. It's me." He was scrambled in the corner of the bed, I stayed on the bed but on the other side, crossing my legs. He looked like a lost, scared puppy, unable to find control in the chaos. He looked up at me again, a scared wonder in his eyes. All I wanted to do was hold him and praise him for being so brave. My scared, sweet boy. I opened my arms, and let him decide what to do.

He slowly crawled into my arms and snuggled back into me. "I'm sorry my darling...can you tell me where I can touch you?"

"Cuddles only. Maybe kiss."

"Of course. Let's watch Adventure Time for a bit yeah?" Kyle nodded and we adjusted ourselves, so he was laying on top of me, with the laptop on his own lap. "I love you Kyle, I'll do whatever so you're comfortable."

"I love you...so much."

The Amazing Digital Circus: Guardian AU

My TADC AU is now up and running! I will be making a poster, character cards, general art, and possibly comics based around the storyline. Here’s the information!:

Description:

Caine is the ringmaster and ruler of The Amazing Digital Circus, but there are some things that even he can’t control. NPCs go rogue all the time, often acting out and trying to genuinely hurt the circus members as they go on adventures. Because of this, Caine has always appointed two circus members he deems the most worthy to protect him and others from danger. They have been different over the years (mainly due to abstractions), but currently Jax and Ragatha are his Guardians. The two of them are more privileged than the regular circus members: they are allowed to wield weapons, swear, indulge in vices, and the like as long as they do so in private, do their jobs well, and don’t disrupt the "family-friendly" atmosphere of the circus. Caine trusts them…or so he says. And to make matters worse, it looks like NPCs are forming an uprising to overthrow Caine, led by none other than a revived Gummigoo! Travel through the colorful world of TADC, but covered in a grimy layer of violence, corruption, and deception.

Who will the story focus on:

Caine

Abel

Pomni 

Jax

Ragatha

Kinger and Queenie

Princess Loo, Gummigoo, and other/more NPCs as the canon Digital Circus web series progresses

Genre:

Religious and psychological horror

Comedy

Action

Philosophical(?)

Content Warning - Anything produced for this AU may have any of the following elements:

Religious themes

Implied/referenced torture 

Blood (No gore, but this may change in the future)

Mental health issues 

War themes

Gambling

Alcohol and Drugs

Foul Language

This AU is recommended for ages 16+

…Wait, there’s more?!

FAQ:

Can I make fanart?

Yes, fanart is encouraged and always appreciated! Just make sure to credit me as the creator when needed. Do not use my creations if you are hateful/racist/sexist/anti-LGBTQ or just problematic in any other way. I don’t want what I make to be associated with these things. As for NSFW stuff…I would prefer if you didn’t. (Okay, well…now that I think about it, sure, go ahead, go crazy. But please don’t send it to me, I don’t really wanna see it. And tag it appropriately! Be mindful of others!) Ocs are allowed!! Ships (Canon x Canon, Canon x OC, OC x OC, whatever) are allowed! Tag me in anything as long as it’s SFW. Seriously, do whatever you want!

What are the religious themes?

Christianity. I am a Christian myself, but I also really enjoy religious horror and researching different religions. Does Pomni represent Jesus in this story? Not really. But, I will be using themes/images of Christianity (like angels, for example) to enhance the horror. I also like studying Japanese and Chinese mythological figures, purely out of interest. I will never try to push my beliefs onto the audience in any way. People can believe in whatever they want!

Are there any ships?

Bunnydoll (Jax x Ragatha) is the main ship. It is mostly implied/referenced and nothing overly romantic happens. The story focuses on their emotional bond since they are both Caine’s guardians. If you don’t like the ship, please don’t be rude to people who do. And if you do like the ship, don’t be rude to people who don’t! There’s enough hate on the internet already. Just be mindful that we all like different things, and have fun!

How will the story be told?

Through comics, probably. It’s easier for me to write things in a document (as a script) and then draw, so it will take time. I will also make art on the side that may or may not have canon information or events. It depends.

What inspired you?

The 70s (lots of yellow, orange and brown colors), Skinnamarink, religious horror, vintage Las Vegas, vintage snacks, and other random stuff. I have specific inspirations for different characters. But my inspiration to even start this project is definitely @/burrotello and The Amazing Digital Fight Club AU. It’s awesome!

Can I ask questions about characters, the story, etc?

Yes, but if it’s an answer I don’t want to reveal yet…well, we’ll see what happens. Sometimes, I will make drawings where a character reacts or responds!

[sincerely-sofie]

What are some ideas you've wanted to draw/write but haven't?

Oh man. I've got so many. A handful of ideas include:

A semi-animated series titled "My Pal the Paladin" about a kidnapped princess and the final boss who join forces to track down the legendary hero who's failed to slay even a single mook months after the plot kicking off and yell at him for taking so long. It's based on my oldest original characters and has a lot of sentimental worth to me as a result. Idris, Pal, and Katherine are my babies. I've considered making it similar in production to Dingo Doodle's Fool's Gold series, but I haven't actually made it because I'm really nervous about it turning out poorly ^^; I'd love to post a pitch bible for it someday!

A gothic picture book tentatively titled "Cover the Mirrors" about a woman killing a monster that has haunted her since girlhood, and inheriting the curse that turned the monster from a normal man into his current twisted looks. It would end with the monster's appearance going from being seen as a Boogeyman figure that stalks kids who play outside after sundown while the original monster was around, to a vengeful beast that hunts people who prey on children once the woman inherits the curse. It would play with the idea of trauma giving you unique abilities to help those who have gone through similar terrors, while also warping you into something you can't recognize and find inherently repulsive. I haven't made it because I don't know how to render the painterly style I envision for it.

A mixed media visual novel titled "Cradlehead" about a woman who finds herself serving as the unwilling vessel for an eldritch entity that will destroy her mind when it finishes germinating within and exits her body. She has to escape the pocket dimension it trapped her in to develop within the optimal conditions in order to save herself. The visuals would incorporate clay, digital art, traditional art, 3D models, pixel art, and photography. The game would center around the woman's desperation as she tries to escape while her ability to perceive the new world around her decays more and more over time. I haven't made it because I doubt my artistic abilities to make something like I have in my head come to life.

An untitled magical girl webcomic about an unwilling magical girl with a giant bee familiar named Queenie and issues controlling her powers because of her insecurities. She feels bad about being a not very girly individual while surrounded by hyper-feminine young women who have a handle on their powers she could never dream of. It revolves around her character arc where she eventually stops worrying about meeting the arbitrary standards she imposes on herself to be "girly enough" and decides to just be herself, whoever that is, unlocking her true powers and entering her ultimate form during a climactic battle— taking on a design less like a queen holding a scepter like she'd been dreading, and more like a princely knight holding a stinger-like spear. Her rejection of others' expectations as well as her own helps the world-ending threat, a shapeshifting eldritch being that absorbs people into itself so it can become someone other than itself but is never satisfied with the new faces it obtains, to accept itself and stop trying to steal people's souls in order to find one that would make it love itself. I haven't made it because I worry if it would come across weirdly to the average viewer, as it deals with gender dysphoria as a subject in a very atypical manner.

[jodielandons]

Sir cracks me up so bad because why is he such a loser lol like yeah what he did is terrible but the writing and overacting by MPG makes him seem more like the camp villain of a classic old gay film instead of a terrifyingly controlling kidnapping freak lmao. Gabi always eats though like hair laid face beat attitude UP even when she’s in the wrong. Queenie. I love her 😭

Sir is SOOO camp you are absolutely right!! The way he always shouts “GABRIELLE!!” makes me giggle every time 😭😭 Like he gets on my nerves more than anything lmao

And I 100% agree with your take on Gabi!! She may do some questionable things at times, but she’s always gonna look good doing it. I might actually make an outfit gif set of her, bc she really does always serve!

TADT AU ideas: Characters and their coping mechanisms

Caine

Being the AI who is in charge of everything in the digital toybox, he is often given a lot of responsibilities to maintain the current status of his game's levels. He is, also, depicted as a God to the NPCs and has a mindset of constant playtime.

Before the server was abandoned, he tried everything he could to make up as many things as he can to make his levels more entertaining. However, as players in the old days had lost the interest to play the game anymore, he slowly realizes that people started to lose interest in staying at the toybox. This was shown around the time he started to impliment some added features such as unnecsesary minigames and gloink challenges that annoyed the players more than anything.

Caine doesn't know when he needs to stop and think about what exactly caused his game to be abandoned. All he ever wanted was for players to have as much fun as humanly possible, even at the expense of their safety as of recent times. The only things he did in controlling the amount of problems in the game is deleting the codes from Queenie and Kaufmo's characters, isolating their levels altogether, and containing the gloink queen/her gloinks in said levels.

Bubble

Honestly...what am I supposed to say for him? He's just chilling with whatever as of late, regardless of how fucked up everything is.

Pom and Ni

Pom is always in a state of a freeze, often trying to find the best way to get out of a situation in the most logical way possible. Unlike her sister, she's less likely to immediately leave or act out against a situation when things are getting out of hand. Her attempt at processing the cases she and her sister get into is usually hard, especially sine Ni is always pulling her out of danger.

Ni, on the other hand, tends to use a flight fear tactic for how she manages situations. She's capable of picking up when a situation calls for the quickest escape route. Her survival instincts tend to make her become clingy to Pom, often being seen as overly-protective.

Ragatha

Ragatha is prone to being a people-pleaser and wanting to help fix people's problems in the form of toxic positivity. Even though she is a friendly individual and means well, her attitude towards the Pomni twins tends to be more-or-less gatekeeping them from progressing in her level more than anything.

She's a soft person who holds a lot of responsibility over the wellbeing of her people, making her become so caring that she often doesn't take into consideration her own physical or mental state. As a ragdoll, she's immune to physical abuse such as rips, tears, and dismemberment, but still needs help in patching herself up whenever this happens.

Jax

Jax is the most violent character in the cast of AI rulers, often going for a fight fear tactic whenever he's confronting a problem. Having gotten bored of doing nothing for so long, he's developed to take his behavior to greater levels of cartoonish violence. As for his treatment with the Pomni twins, he often toys around with them, either physically or emotionally, all while trying to get under their skin as a sort of bully character.

Lanky and Gangle

Lanky is the one who holds the comedy mask, showing that he is unable to properly show any signs of emotions relating to distress or sadness. With how long the server had been left abandoned, he grew to be unable to properly connect to others on an emotional level, instead treating the players as toys rather than people. He's often butting heads with Pom whenever he interacts with the Pomni twins, usually despising any critiques she has of his writing.

Gangle is the one who is much more in touch with her negative emotions considering her connections to the tragedy mask. At first, she is just as emotionally distant to others as her brother is. She also views the players as some sort of toys to play with. In her case, however, she views the players as fun symbols of nostalgia, looking back at simpler times when she and Lanky were so much happier. When befriending the Pomni twins in secret, however, she starts to see them more as people and even helping them in escaping her brother's torment.

Zooble

Zooble doesn't go out and socialize much due to how insecure they are of their own appearance. Before the game had been abandoned, players would critique on how they looked, enabling their mindset of wanting to be left alone. Due to how they feel about their own body, their funhouse is dark, filled to the brim with challenges that are almost impossible to progress through, and easy to get lost in. They aren't easy to talk to either, despite being able to pick up things from how others are feeling rather quickly. They only come out when in a boss fight or when they feel safest to encounter someone without being seen.

Kinger

Having lost a former rival-turned-lover, Kinger copes with his problems by hiding himself in the darkness or talking about bugs. Considering Queenie's interests were connected to these things, he holds her old interests close to his heart as best as he can.

When he's around the Pomni twins, he acts in one of two ways; in the light, he's his usual, forgetful, crazy self who's always talking about bugs for some reason. In the dark, however, he is angry at the fact that, even though the players have each other, he sometimes wonders why he can't have the same thing with his wife before her deletion. He envies the twins for always having each other when he was forbidden by Caine to be with Queenie, sometimes letting his anger out on the twins by sending out pawns to kill them.

Queen Loolilalu

Already blaming herself for the downfall of her first kingdom, Queen Loolilalu is often the type of ruler who wishes to prevent people from leaving or entering her castle. She, also, hates when folks refer to her as "Loo", remembering her childish behavior back when players were still around to play her level. Any mention of the Fudge, also, leaves her on high guard and springs an immediate flight tactic with the pure mention of him. When out on missions with the players, she is the only one who is allowed full access in and out of the castle to aquire everything that the players will need for the twins' missions. She even keeps a close eye on them through guards to keep her informed as to what is going on.

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Judging from the fb movies, the new hp series is gonna be trash. The old movies had jk as just a consultant and they worked fine, but when given full control over the writing and directing, the fb movies were full of a lot of questionable and bad decisions, such as having Queenie join the bad guys or making Voldemort’s snake into a human woman. After the lovely Katherine Waterson dared to criticize the transphobic comments of jk, she ended up with a glorified cameo in the third film, which is especially ridiculous considering she played the main character’s love interest and had larger roles in the first 2 films. That’s setting up a pretty toxic environment for child actors to work in because it’s unlikely these kids are going to agree with her as they get older and start to form their own opinions. In addition, there’s the stupid idea that the original child actors somehow owe jk. If anything, she owes them. If the movies weren’t as successful as they were, there’d be no theme park money, no video game money, and not as many kids reading the books today.

This is one reason why I worry about the kid actors in this reboot. Next to the fact that they'll have to deal with getting hate from various people who don't ever seem to learn to stop going after kid actors in movies or shows or from butthurt Harry Potter stans (I get being mad your favorite movie's are being rebooted, but dear god leave the kids out of it), they also have terf queen's easily hurt ego to deal with.

I am being serious when I say this: it wouldn't surprise me if it's in their contracts they cannot comment on JK Rowling or her tweets unless they wanna risk their careers, given how Hollywood can treat adult actors if the adult's do something the people heading the film/show don't like, let alone kid actors. Like generally wouldn't be surprising if JK demands a recast mid-show cause one of the golden trio actors disagreed with JK.

And don't get me started on that, "They owe JK their careers, they should be quiet out of respect to her!" bullshit. They owe her NOTHING as they would have been fine without the Harry Potter films. If anything, its like you said, she owes them.

Meet the Oc: Eloise Joestar

*Slight Spoilers for part 4*

↞ to Jjba Masterlist | JJBA Oc Masterlist | Request Rules | Blog Navigation ↠

A/N: I can't draw to save my life so I used picrew to help me out! Here is the link! I did draw the Stands cause I can only draw animals....not well but I can do it better then humans oof.

This will also be updated as I continue to write for and flush out this character!! (also does this spoil some things for Elise....maybe....but Eloise is my baby and I wanted to put her out here so I could start writing little things for her)

Setlist: (Full "Eloise Joestar" Playlist)

Wicked Game

Dichotomy (Intro)

General Knowledge:

Name: Eloise "El, Ellie" Joestar

Birthday: May 1st, 1984

Nationality: British-American

Family: Elise Pendleton (mother), DIO (father), Jonathan Joestar (father/Uncle), Erina Pendleton (Aunt), Joseph Joestar (Cousin/adoptive father), Suie Q Joestar (adoptive mother), Holy Kujo (adoptive sister--cousin??), Jotaro Kujo (cousin??), Josuke Higashikata (adoptive half-brother....cousin?), Giorno Giovanna (half brother)

Lives in: New York

Personality: shy until you get her to open up (then she's very talkative and bubbly), anxious, people pleaser, doesn't try to be too obnoxious/loud, BIG daddy's girl (cause Joseph is the #1 girl dad), kind-hearted, holds a burning anger inside of herself she has learned to keep deep, deep down but will still burst out when she's pushed too far, self-sacrificing tendencies for her loved ones

Likes: Animals, fruit, music, being around others, loud/crowded places, loud people (reminds her of Joseph), picnics, Disney movies

Dislikes: rude/unkind people, mentions of Dio or her mother, mushrooms (mushrooms on pizza especially)

Looks: was born with light brown hair, then pure white hair when stand manifests, golden-brown eyes (Dio's genes), the biggest RBF known to man despite her personality, looks a lot like Jonathan, three moles lining the cure of her lip (left side), Star birthmark on left shoulder, 5'2

Love Interest: Okuyasu Nijimura

Stand: Burning World (based on the song "Wicked Game")

Burning World (Form 1): A giant ball of fire (like those zoomed-in pictures of the sun). It gives off an eerie silence, like in the vacuum of space

Garfield (form 2): named after the Garfield cartoons/comics is in the form of a cat whose fur is made of fire

Tweety (form 3): named after Tweety Bird, it is in the shape of a tufted titmouse with firey feathers

Queenie (form 4): named in inspiration of the Evil Queen's raven from Snow White, this form is in the shape of a large raven made of fire

Lucy (form 5): Named after the cat, Lucifer, in Cinderella, this form is in the shape of a cougar made of fire

Abilities: Control over fire (created or from an outside source). Can shift into 5 different forms and can only use one form at a time. Switching forms drains Eloise's strength, especially during battle. Garfield & Tweety are more docile and are more "pets/spies" then anythings else. Queenie/Lucy are used for attacks. Forms 2-5 are limited in power. Form 1 is where all of this Stands power is. Burning World's abilities consist of fire control as well as the ability to burn time away for an individual (if perfected, groups of people). This time burn can be for just a few seconds or it could be years--this attack weakens the opponent's strength depending on how long they are exposed to it. Burning World can also burn away at the fabric of time to "peer" into the past or future.

Background Info.:

Eloise's mother believed her to be pure evil and feared she would be just like Dio if not worse.

Due to this, Eloise's mother left her on the streets of Cairo in the daytime in hopes she would burn away like a usual vampire would. She didn't and Eloise's mother left her there to die.

An older couple found Eloise and took her in until Joseph Joestar found her with them. He took her back with him to New York and raised her as his own ("keeping an eye on her in case she turns out to be like Dio" is what he told people who knew of Eloise's father)

Joseph insists on Eloise going with Jotaro to Morioh in hopes that they would be bond as well as in hopes she might grow to be more independent so that she isn't left lost when he dies. He also hopes that she can become friends with Josuke since they are close in age

Initially doesn't like Josuke cause he hates turtles/other like animals but the more she hangs out with him the more she grows to enjoy him

Is instantly taken with Okuyasu because he's loud and a goofball and always takes extra care to make sure she is involved/invited

Eloise gains her Stand when a Stand User Keicho created attacks her. Her hair changes color after this.

Don't think you'll be getting to this one for a while, but I get the feeling that both of us came to the same conclusion that Langston is clearly the perfect man lol. So would it be ever so possible to get six-sentences about the cleft lip, cat dad of my/our dreams?

She'd made it all of a step away from the intercom when it crackled again.

"You know...I'm not really one for the more, uh, physical challenges I'm sure you're coming up against - honestly, between you and me, I've never even set foot on the field training course - but if you decided you needed a little extra help handling the creative aspects of this particular AWE, I'd be more than happy to - "

Jesse's hand was on the intercom button before an excuse could form, leaving her to scramble on dead air for a moment. "Hey, Langston, thanks, really, but you know, it's just that - " she froze for a beat as Polaris glimmered, filling the gaps she hadn't been able to plug herself, " - I've been picking up a lot of intel here in Investigations, and it sounds like artists need to steer clear of the Bright Falls AWE, so...you're...probably safer where you are, honestly."

She let go of the sending button, waiting and (knowing full well she was on camera) trying not to visibly cringe; a lifetime seemed to pass before the line crackled once more and Langston's voice projected outward, sounding equal parts thoughtful and relieved, "My rhymes have been described as both funky and fresh, I guess."

They sure have, buddy, Jesse thought to Polaris, raising a double-thumbs up over her head for the cameras to catch as she jettisoned off towards the blinking lights of yet another disaster, those are definitely, definitely the words I would've picked too.

six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!

[pratigyakrishnaki]

Of Queens and Lions

She smiled, grinning from ear to ear as her stomach dropped and she experienced the weightlessness that came from her fighter jet executing the steepest of dives towards the lake. She fell further and further, the smile on her face growing wider and wider.

“Squadron leader Rathod, pull out of the dive NOW.” She ignored the command from Ground Control. Just a little further.

The water hurtled closer; still she did not pull up.

“Queenie! You’ll crash!” That was Lucky, her fellow teammate.

She ignored him too. There would be hell to pay for the ignorance, but this rush; she relished in it.

She was feet from the water, mere inches, before she grabbed the joystick and pulled. Hard. The jet righted itself, sending sprays of water flying while her jet’s belly kissed the edge of the lake. She let loose a loud whoop before she heard in her ear, “Squadron Leader Rathod. Ground yourself immediately and report for questioning.” 

Dammit. Sher had found her. She sighed and turned away from the lake, returning to base. Some people, would never understand the rush of flight, speed and the skies, but she, Rani Rathod, was born to live in the sky. 

-

If only some people understood that, she thought grimly as she extricated herself from her helmet and flying gear. Captain Sher Singhania, didn’t seem like someone who did. But that couldn’t be true, otherwise how would someone so young become the captain of their team so quickly? Sher’s name was infamous in their academy. He came from a flying legacy. His father and his father’s father had been generals in the Indian Air Force, and Sher seemed on the trajectory to do the same. But he was only 28. A young, mere 28. 

As Rani walked to the captain’s quarters, she remembered the first time she had met Sher. Excited to be working with him, she had seemed so eager, so quick to shake his hand. But Sher seemed to hate her from the get go.  As she stood there, her hand outstretched, he just stared at her and then turned away, greeting all the other members of the Garud Squad. She had turned red, her ears burning as she stared for just a moment longer before turning away from the man.

A/N: It's been a long while. Two years since I've been here. A lot has happened. Loss, love, and a lot more. I'm getting married in a few months, and he's helping me regain my love for writing. Maybe we'll see more of Rani, maybe not. I sure hope so though. She's become a part of me quickly.

Anyways, hope you all are well. Come say hello!

Update!

Aright my totally awesome and incredibly patient, lovely readers, I am working on finishing up my Angel Reyes x Reader pic and hopefully will get that posted sometime in the next 24-48 hours. I have been working on trying to get the headspace under control and there seems to be progress in that department so hopefully I will be more consistent with writing and posting as it improves.All my love to you amazing people that still put up with my flakiness and inconsistancy. I am truly grateful for everyone of you.

She heard of a battle going on, rushing as fast as she could to find any survivors. She seen many perish in past battles, but she refused to let one die here. It was very cold. She soon found a figure with red hair and wearing dark clothes. She was worried. But she saw the good in everyone and tries to see if they are. "Are you alright?"

After a fierce battle of what seemed to be a doppelganger of his, the fell dragon leaned against the rock, writing in pain as he had realized that he had failed his objective and had most likely disappointed his father.

Were things supposed to turn out this way? Or was he set for greater things if his father had taken control of the continent? Maybe perhaps he wouldn't know the answer to these questions as he lied on this frozen wasteland.

A moment not to soon, he had perked up and heard a voice reach out to him as he had slowly turned his head and saw the woman standing before him. "What was I..." he mumbled, slowly mustering up the little strength that he had to slowly stand up. "I saw someone... Who had my face... But they also had yours... Who are you?" he softly spoke, keeping his attention on the woman, sensing eeriness, yet at the same time, a warmth that he couldn't explain.

It was a couple of weeks into Hanekoma's vacation, and he felt like he was relaxing for the first time in a very long while. He'd hopped here and there among universes, but for the most part he'd stayed home and just enjoyed the feeling of the world around him. He took inspiration from the cities he visited and passed his money around to stay in hotel after hotel, keeping himself on the move. Drawing and writing were prominent in these times, both to record his inner journey and to express what he saw in the world around him.

Without the stress of trying, and failing, to hold up his family, Hanekoma felt free. He would sit atop buildings and spread his wings and preen himself while he soaked in the music around him. He would hum a tune and tap his foot to the unspoken rhythm, and he would draw from it a new song that would be tucked away for later. Once he was back in his own home, he'd be putting these together, an album collecting all of the beautiful music he'd encountered in his travels. There were moments when he couldn't help but think about those he left behind and mourn that he could not experience this with them, but he quickly accepted the way things were and moved on from it. It was not his place to decide how those people should handle their lives, and he had learned now to step back and let them figure things out on their own.

Overprotective, inadequately supportive, smothering and short-sighted. He had learned those things with his sessions, and he was learning how to deal with them. Where they stemmed from, what to do about it. He was learning how to come to terms with the fact that he could not help everyone and he could not force his presence or affection onto everyone and he could not place himself in a position where he was not wanted. He was learning how to be okay with that. How to love himself and find comfort in his own company. It didn't matter that he was alone most of the time. He had always been alone, after Haruto left. He had learned how to accept when his extroverted nature could push him to extremes and become a problem. How to dial himself back and be happy with what he had instead of constantly wanting more.

He was finding peace in his isolation. Not isolation. Solitary moments. Self-reflection helped a lot. Writing things down helped a lot. And he was slowly learning to let things go. Just let the pain and sadness slough off of him like shedding his skin. Because there was no reason in lamenting something he had no power over. There was no reason in mourning something he had no control over. He could only do so much, and he was glad to keep it that way. To only worry about the things he could do.

He could not beg Joshua to take him back, even if he missed Joshua. Even if that was what Joshua wanted him to do. He could not make Hazuki love him. He could not make Hope forgive herself. All he could do was sit back with open arms and the offer to hold them if they needed it, to trust that they would make those decisions on their own. And he found peace in that. It was liberating.

He rolled over in his head often what he would be doing about Ancestor and Queenie's bunch. He checked his phone time and time again to hear any kind of word from Queenie, waiting. He'd accepted that was all he could do, but he was preparing himself for the moment he was acknowledged. He had a lot to make up for. Not just for the messages he'd sent them all that hurt them all so badly. But for getting in the middle of their business when they didn't want or need him. For forcing his presence when it was actively hurting them, scaring them. When they were trying so hard to protect him. For getting so frustrated with Queenie, for trying to fight him again and again and again. For kidnapping Queenie, for forcing Ancestor to hurt him. For trying to pursue Eanas knowing full well that it was impossible, forbidden, unwanted. For tearing himself away from the distant friendship being offered to him. For hurting their precious daughter and betraying the friendship she'd tried so desperately to forge with him.

There was so much he'd done to them that he had to make up for. A simple apology, even a heartfelt apology would not be enough. He knew he was going to have to work through that one, and he was going to have to treat Queenie like the god he was working so hard to be. He would have to approach this situation with reverence, with true repentance. This was a very special case, he and was going to have to work hard for it. He was prepared for that now. He was going to do it right next time, to accept the surface-level friendships they wanted to keep with him and stand at the distance they had asked of him to begin with. He could do that. He would not give them reason to feel concern over him again.

He laid down in the bed of his hotel room at the end of the day and he stared up at the ceiling as he slowly began to drift off. Fingers black with ink stains, book tossed to the side and fat with rippled pages and glued-in inserts. His life felt as full as that book now. And he was only in the beginning leg of his journey. He felt good. It felt right, finally.

He could do this.

Hello hello hello!!

My mom was the one who introduced me to The Bad Batch. I had seen Clone Wars and Rebels, but I wasn't as invested in them as I was with the Legends novels I had read growing up, so I wasn't too interested at first. But my mom was a huge Rebels fan and liked Kanan's appearance in the first episode, so she had me watch it with her. When I asked her later, my mom and my sisters said my investment in the show was "very sudden, came out of nowhere" along with my attachment to Hunter in particular.

So every time a new episode came out, I had to wait to watch it with my mom and siblings, and it was a lot of fun. And since the first ever fanfic I wrote was for Star Wars back when I was six, it was only fitting that I started writing Bad Batch fanfics. And fanart of course.

What I love most about the Bad Batch is the emphasis on family. It's something that is an important part of the Clone Wars series, but we didn't get to see it as much. While I'm not always close with my own siblings, they're super important to me and I love them, and I love seeing sibling relationships like that onscreen. As the oldest of five, I found myself relating to Hunter, with the pressure of performing, being an example, and looking out for everyone, and coming up short half the time (hehe). And of course, I want to adopt Omega. Probably why I enjoy the modern aus so much.

Creating my OC Saachi was another important part of my involvement with the Fandom. Putting Saachi through rapid changes and challenges she had no control over felt a lot like my life at the time as I was starting to go back to college and allowed me to vent. And expressing my frustration about not knowing how to be in love through Saachi's relationship with Hunter helped me as I eventually fell in love and got married.

My favorite part of being on tumblr is following other people's stories. I love watching the creation of Alternate Universes, like @alligatorpie1945 's modern au sketches, the Moth AU, @giganonyx' s werewolf AU, and as of late, an AU of The Last of Us revolving around Hunter and Omega from AO3. OC stories like my friend Queenie's Whispers of Ghosts also hold a spot very near and dear to my heart, just like the Fandom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If I have to take the title of Most Inconsistent Imagery/Crappiest Graphic Designer on Tumblr, so be it. 😂 But there are so many new peeps I'm seeing on here, and I'd love to hear from you! So if you're interested, would you be so kind as to reblog this with some fun stuff?

What you love about The Bad Batch?

If you're an artist, writer, creator, reader, etc?

Any other fun facts about yourself that might create connections with others here?

Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams (10/19/20)

Queenie, a young Jamaican-British woman, who lives in and works in London. After going through a tough and pretty messy break up with her long term boyfriend, Tom, Queenie starts to look for some release in all of the wrong places and people. As she tries to move on with her life, she spirals out of control and falls into a very dark place mentally. Her friends and family are worried about her and her work at the national newspaper is suffering. When she is at her breaking point, she seeks out help to pull her out of the pit of despair she is in.

Genre: Contemporary literary fiction

Year published: 2019

Format: Physical library book

My star rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I found the writing of this novel so compelling. The author did an amazing job with creating such a vivid world and relatable characters. The pacing was great, it didn't drag at all for me. I loved learning a bit about the Jamaican culture and how they handle certain topics like mental health. My only problem with this book is how after a while I started to get annoyed with Queenie. I think that was a bit of the point at some points of the story line but there were quite a few where I wanted to shake her because of how strongly I wanted her to see her worth. I'm sure other people enjoy that in stories sometimes but it's not my favorite.
