67: “ Stop being so cute. ” + maida pls :)

welp, this somehow slipped into gen territory :o hope you enjoy anyway!

-

“Right, that’s enough!”

Aida’s stern voice is the first thing Daisy hears as they return from the mission.

It is quickly followed by the girls protesting, Joy drawing out the word ‘Please?’ as Mellie says ‘Pretty please?’ over and over.

Robbie puts a finger up to his lips as he edges closer to the doorway; Daisy exchanges a bemused look with Mack and Elena.

“Oh, alright,”Aida relents.“You really have to stop being so cute, I can’t say no to you!”

“Don’t tell them that,”May says with a laugh.

Robbie waves the others closer and they all peek into the living room.

The girls are putting what must be all their hair clips into Aida’s hair, both Elena and Daisy flinching in sympathy. They know from experience that those little fingers tend to pull too hard.

May’s on the floor nearby, looking at a picture book with a happily babbling Alejandro.

She glances over to them and cocks an eyebrow.

Caught spying, they sheepishly file into the room to greet their kids.

“You’re staying for dinner, right?”Mellie asks May and Aida once the Mackenzies have left for their own home, then turns to her parents before they can answer.“Nan’s going to paint my nails for me. And then I get to do hers.”

Aida’s smile, to her credit, only wavers a tiny bit at the prospect.

Mellie remains oblivious, tugging on her namesake’s hand.“Can you make dumplings, lăolao?”

“Yeah, sure,”May says, with that slightly bewildered air she always has when asked to make food.

“You know,”Daisy tells Robbie later,“Out of all things, including her dad being Ghost Rider and one of her grandmothers technically being a robot, the weirdest thing about Mellie’s childhood is probably still that she actually likes May’s cooking.”

still taking prompts!;)

Uppast's Cats Tour Comments: Act 1

note: i'm referring to the cats by their show names, however I may use the actor's name for a specific comment!

Overture

They did this SO well! I definitely missed seeing the cast in the aisles, but they projected the green eyes onto the stage, and it was the perfect amount of creepy/weird/hypnotizing.

I absolutely love the lights slowly being raised while shining all the spotlights, it sets the vibe PERFECTLY

also saying this now: the orchestra was incredible!

Prologue: Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

right off the bat, we’ve a super sweet Demestrap moment, with Munkustrap checking on Demeter after the car! It was adorable!

Devon's voice is SO good for Munkustrap, also the man is TALL OH MY GOD

Tugger didn't get his "can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark" line, which I was a little disappointed about. However, Zach as Bill Bailey is absolutely 10/10.

Brianna… the babiest Sillabub… so precious... so small...

There were some Victor and Gus moments, with them either standing near each other or sharing looks/touches, so if anyone ships them, y'all got your rarepair moment!

THE BOOT WAS SO LOUD LMAO

They use the set so well!

The Naming of Cats

creepy, wonderful, everything I want from this number

A handful of the cats got right to the edge of the stage where the lighting was, so they were all glowing, and it was the BEST vibe.

Taylor was staring into my soul during the last verse so now I can say I've been vibe-checked by Coricopat.

Invitation to the Jellicle Ball

Hyla is the PERFECT Victoria!!!!! She's so incredibly graceful, she had the sweetest expression on her face, and ugh it was flawless.

Paul is also just an amazing Mistoffelees.

Munkustrap had literally the sweetest moment with Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer and I almost started crying. Right before Jennyanydots' song, when everyone's getting into place, Mungo and Rumple immediately went to Munkustrap and were cuddling his legs, and he gave them pets, and just oh my god T_T

Gumbie Cat

OKAY SO I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE KITTEN SQUAD SO MUCH MY HEART

When everyone's setting up for Jennyanydots' song, after the nuzzles, the lights start to switch, and the kitten squad was trying to catch the lights on the ground while Munkustrap was looking at them with the fondest expression and i swear i cried a little bit over how cute they were.

SKIMBLE LOVES HIS WIFE SO MUCH AND WAS HELPING HER GET THE KITTENS INTO THEIR MICE COSTUMES

Plato, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie were great cockroaches, 10/10

The Gumbie Trio was so good! Their voices sounded amazing together, and they were all just having so much fun!

SO MUCH MAMA JELLY AND SON TUMBLE I FEEL SO HAPPY

I'm going to go more in-depth in my Kitten Squad post!

Rum Tum Tugger

The way Zach said "Who will it be?" was absolutely amazing, i loved it, 10/10 character introduction.

Jennyanydots stomped off when he interrupted her accolades, she was very upset.

Zach and Devon nailed Tugger and Munkustrap's sibling dynamic PERFECTLY, Devon was the best Tired Older Brother Munkus.

Yeah, this number pretty much confirmed Zach as my favorite Tugger.

Mistoffelees and Cassandra did some lounging together in the background on the car.

Chelsea's Bomba is absolutely *chef's kiss*, I adore her

Obviously Tugger and Mistoffelees did their little dance, and it was wonderful. I'm not sure if other shows had Mistoffelees do this, but he went between Tugger's legs at the end of his little solo and Tugger was just vibing.

MY FAVORITE MOMENT THOUGH had to be near the end of the song, Munkustrap was 100% getting into it, and Tugger went over to him and was teasing him, poking him, and it was the cutest brother interaction.

They did have the camera! Zach did some very Tugger poses, and it was great.

Grizabella the Glamour Cat

haha Tugger went to hide behind the metal bars on the furthest side of the stage away from Grizabella, I'm in ✨pain✨

Sillabub goes to touch Grizabella, Grandpa Skimble pulls her back and starts scolding her, I want to hug the baby.

No, but I did really love that moment. It's off to the side, but you can see him giving her a talking to, and she's trying to say something back, but he's very firm.

Mungojerrie egged George on to scratch Grizabella, George sweetie don't be mean.

Taylor has such a perfect voice for Grizabella, and I loved her look!

OKAY SO LAUREN AND CHELSEA'S VOICES

Lauren's voice is so smooth and suave, and Chelsea's voice has a little growl that almost made me pass out, like ma'am i'm in love? But their voices mixed together, as well as how slightly different they are was such a great choice, and I kind of hope that other future productions take note and have two actresses with vastly different vocals for Demeter and Bombalurina.

Bustopher Jones

Mistoffelees and Victoria go to great Bustopher together and it was the cutest thing, they were so excited to see him!

Munkustrap immediately grabbing Mungo and Rumple by the necks and steering the gremlins away from the Very Important Cat.

Tugger was keeping watch so Munkustrap could be silly with everyone else during Bustopher's number, and that's not something I'm forgetting. Usually, obviously, Munkustrap's sort of in the background, standing, watching, and not really interacting. But Tugger switched places, and was up on the scaffolding watching, and it was CUTE!

My Tuggandra crumbs, thank you Zach and Lexy, I'm indebted to you both.

Tugger literally was just lounging on the car during the end of Bustopher's song, just waving his arms around, and I love him.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer

Elana (Teazer for this show) had the PERFECT Rumple giggle!

They're so silly, I love them

They made the best facial expressions, especially when Mungo "stole" Rumple's pearls.

Very dramatic gremlin twins, jumping all over the place, not caring about anything!

They were so confident at the end of their song when they went to walk off, and immediately went into "oh shit" mode when Munkus, Plato, and Alonzo came out.

Run through the legs of Munkus! See Munkus, this is why you need to not stand with your legs apart when you're attempting to control kittens.

Old Deuteronomy

Saying it again, Devon and Zach are SUCH a good Munkustrap and Tugger.

The babies were so excited to see Old Deut! They could barely contain themselves, and then got cuddles! (Also Tanto was with the kittens and i love that for her, let her be a kitten!! I definitely got "big brother Cori/little sister Tanto" vibes)

Everyone's getting Deut nuzzles!!

Tugger did a VERY dramatic shimmy at his dad, and Deut laughed, and I cried.

Tugger and Munkustrap standing on either side of their dad!!!! He's so proud of them!!

Jellicle Ball

Sillabub was hiding on top of the oven before the Ball, sweet baby T_T

George got to sing with Old Deut!! Happy boy!!

TUMBLE FLIPS TUMBLE FLIPS TUMBLE FLIPS

Jennyanydots and Skimbleshanks being the Supervisors!!

There was a really sweet Jellylorum and Alonzo moment (def going to talk more about it in the Alonzo post), but my "Jellylorum is Alonzo, Tumble, and Pounce's Mom" hc is feeling SO VALIDATED TONIGHT

I've said this so many times, but I adore that Plato and Victoria get their own little solo before their Big Solo. It's so sweet, and Hyla and Adam have wonderful chemistry!

Tugger chases Bomba offstage before The Moment, and I love that for them

CUDDLE PILE!!!

Munkustrap and Demeter cuddled together in the corner away from the pile and I want to sob because they were just so sweet, her head was on his shoulder, and he was holding her, and literally everyone in this show has such good chemistry with each other.

Tugger looks up with the psychic twins during Grizabella's reveal, once again making me think that Tugger and Munkustrap have magic like their brother.

OH AND TUGGER DID THE STUPIDEST LITTLE DANCE WHERE HE WAS SHAKING HIS BUTT AND HAVING FUN AND MUNGOJERRIE LAUGHED AT HIM AND THEY HAD A MOMENT AND IT WAS GREAT

Memory

ouch ouch ouch

Jennyanydots blocks the stairs up to Deut's tire so Grizabella can't go to Deut, my heart

steering the babies away from Grizabella even though Silla wants to give her a hug.

Taylor you hurt me in the best way possible

I always get emotional over Grizabella's dance before her song, it's such a telling moment, but unfortunately I don't think everyone understands that it's supposed to be a serious moment and not funny.

Deut sits on his tire the entire song and it's HEARTBREAKING

At the very end, Grizabella does the reaching back, and Deut reaches forward, and if you're sitting in the right spot it looks like they're touching and i'm NOT OKAY

[crystalkleure]

🤝 give the rarepairs

Jin Aizawa, Daina Kurogami, and Clio Delon!

Goth squad! Sadly, as often as the three of them are all seen together in fanon, Jin barely interacted with Daina and never interacted with Clio in canon. And the little bit of interaction he had with Daina was...not quite amicable lmfao. Regardless, these guys would all actually probably get along great after the animosity from that one misunderstanding got cleared up and Jin wasn't Super Offended at The Audacity Of Daina anymore lol

Daina apologizes to Jin, like "Hey, uh, whoops, turns out that weird blue nerd guy was the actual Cheating Bastard, sorry for the slander haha wanna hang out at Hot Topic sometime," Jin has already mostly forgotten about the incident and any remaining irritation dissolves immediately because Jin is chill because Jin is too tired to ever stay angry about anything for very long, and Daina introduces Jin to Clio at some point. That's the only reason I can see Jin ever really having for Becoming Aware Of Clio outside of some kind of tournament context maybe -- they both know Daina.

And *shoves Daina off to the side for a minute* Oh Boy, Jin and Clio. That would be Fun.

Jin is...completely unfazed by any and all of Clio's magic tricks, no matter how physically implausible they seem to be. In fact, Jin might even kind of Barely Acknowledge Clio himself at first. Clearly not to be rude and cold, he's just, uh, spacey. Basically stares right through the guy. Clio is Baffled.

And eventually Jin inevitably has a narcolepsy attack and Clio does his Dream Invasion thing for Maximum Mischief, that MUST be Impressive and SURELY Cannot Be Ignored, and hooooly shit what the fuck is wrong with this guy's brain. Jin's head is full of ghosts. What the fuck.

Clio has discovered that basically every time Jin tries to sleep he ends up in Nightmare Demonsville to the point that it doesn't even terrify him or anything anymore, it just makes it damn impossible for him to get much solid rest. Jin Has Made Friends With The Brain Ghosts But They Are Annoying And Cause Chronic Insomnia Because Holy Fucking Shit There Are So Many Of Them. It Is So Fucking Loud Inside Jin's Head All The Time.

And, to make matters worse, due to the prolonged severe sleep deprivation, Jin does not actually have to outright fall asleep for his Ghost Buddies to start coming out to play. When you're that exhausted, you hallucinate. Something something microsleep, etc., and are the Ghost Friends actually real or are they purely waking nightmares, or did Jin himself manifest them into reality the same way he made his bey avatar because Jormungand's aura DOES seem to be made of Screaming Damned Souls which WOULD seem to maybe suggest that, lol who the fuck knows, Jin's brain is a wreck, he probably doesn't even know, huh wait did that shadow over there just move

In other words, Clio discovers that Jin apparently hallucinates, and THAT is why Jin was Ignoring His Awesome Magic Tricks. Jin has to be aware that he hallucinates, or at least aware to some degree, because it happens so often, so if he sees something weird and Probably Impossible he just Assumes It Is Not Real at this point lmfao. Jin was not 100% convinced that Clio was real because Clio did nothing but Weird And Improbable Things.

It just seems like there are so many Possibilities for Jin + Clio interaction, because Jin is narcoleptic and always half-conscious and Clio can evidently plant himself in your head when you're asleep. Clio would probably make friends with Jin's 323 Brain Ghost Buddies. Daina would not have a clue what's actually going on, aside from the fact that the shadows keep moving in his peripheral vision whenever Jin is around but surely that's not ACTUALLY happening right, and he might try to discourage Clio from Playing Along With Jin's Obvious Hallucinations and Encouraging The Delusions, aaaand then Clio might drag Daina into Jin's head when he catches them both asleep at the same time like "lol hey bro check this shit out, THIS is why this guy doesn't sleep like a normal person," and Daina 1. is fucking terrified, and 2. suddenly has an even deeper respect for the sheer tenacity Jin has to Do The Shit He Wants To Do In Spite Of His Crippling Illness because holy shit how does ANYONE ever get ANYTHING done in that state. "Wow, no wonder this guy almost punched me when I insinuated I thought he was cheating, I'd be super pissed too if I fought tooth and nail through this Terrifying Bullshit all day every day just to be insulted like that by some rando in the hallway" etc.

And, it's a delayed reaction after all of that, but after determining that Clio DOES in fact exist and IS in fact doing all that Weird Improbable Shit, Jin would be appropriately Astounded And Impressed at Clio's magic and Clio would finally be content lmao

[mirakeul]

saw you wanted rarepairs

its not exactly a romantic pair, per say, but could i ask for anything with sero and todoroki? or maybe bakugou and jirou

dkjshlfk idk if you do platonic stuff but if you do it then either of those would be great!!

UGH YES OK THANK U ANON [will delete ur other ask bcuz dw ill do this cause i like these too!]

n e ways... i feel like sero and todoroki would hit it off but not too easily? cause like todoroki is all i didnt come here to make friends but izu changed that and so the dekusquad is born. sero, on the other hand, has the bakusquad and we all know the histories of the two ppl in both squads not that i dont like bakudeku [as a platonic ship] yknow?

i think they might interact more maybe just before 2nd year [ofc not in canon cause idk what canon is for them lol] but like, todoroki would prolly apologize for the thing he did in the sports festival, albeit it was a few months ago, but sero just smiles and compliments him and then boom the friendship is there.

send me a rare pair [+ an AU/a prompt]

under cut cause it got long ! HAHA

i definitely imagine sero and todoroki casually talking to each other as chaos ensues bet. their two friend groups where iida is holding off uraraka while izu is just smug cause he is like that and bakugou is screaming with kiri holding him back and kami is recording everything and the others are just.... watching. and then, sero and todoroki are just casually conversing abt their hate for endeavor [sero prolly understands given the hero's stats and casualties] and todoroki is keen to give tea.. n e ways AHAHAHAHA they're cute and will be close! sero is prolly the more talkative one cause todoroki prefers to listen but sumtimes they interchange sksks

AS FOR THE BAKUGOU AND JIROU FRIENDSHIP YES I FULLY SUPPORT THAT

bakugou respects jirou as much as he respects uraraka ok and like, that may also be proven after the cultural festival. their band was like a constant thing, they sometimes play but sometimes it would just be jirou and bakugou. jirou would prolly give him songs that fit bakugou's taste and bakugou wouldn't admit it but he would be seen listening to it as he works out or in his morning runs and sometimes, when he's cooking in the dorms.

baku sometimes returns the favors, he's got good taste in music i think HAHAHA but he would send links to jirou without saying anything but jirou immediately understands. she doesn't say anything to not ruin the vibes yknow but like yea, they're pretty chill and they understand each other skksksk

[ethannku]

rachel for the ask game 👀👀

this is so late i’m so sorry 😭

how i feel about this character

i really like rachel!! especially as a part of the art kif/rich kid squad haha.

all the people i ship romantically with this character

percy, annabeth sometimes. i mostly think of her as an aromantic asexual queen tho, yk.

my non-romantic otp for this character

percy and annabeth once again haha. also alex fierro? that’s maybe a rarepair (or whatever the equivalent for friendships) but i think they would be such good friends.

my unpopular opinion about this character

perachel is a valid ship and could have actually happened in canon if rick hadn’t made the “oracle can’t date” rule. they were so wholesome together and had real chemistry, plus them bonding over being strangers in this weird demigod world? love it. 

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

i wish annabeth would apologize for treating her terribly. actually i dont really remember the first series so if she did apologize then uhhhh i want her to meet alex haha

[iamnightduchess]

Hey! First of all, I love your writing. I absolutely breathtaking. I wasn’t a reimika shipper but now i am lmao! I want to ask you how you feel about jeankasa? In this moment I’m completely sure Eren is going to die and I really want Mikasa to be happy with a good family just as she wishes. What are your thoughts about the future of her with, let’s say, a jeankasa ending?

Hi himemoonpie!

Thank you so much for dropping in with a sweet ask & thank you very much for checking out my writings :) Welcome to ReiKasa hell paradise, the ‘accidental’ ship haha

I would have to let my followers here know that this is strictly my honest and personal observation (which most fans would disagree on). Regarding your question, my opinions towards not only jeankasa but all the other mikasa ships are neutral. I dislike being or having any negative feelings towards other ships & i prefer to focus more on the positive sides of my own rarepair OTP ‘s canoe haha 

Tbh, I was not big on the idea of jeankasa for quite some time UNTIL ch.135. Physical attractiveness factors sure, jeankasa’s A++ but from character dynamics, before 135, I perceive an existing imbalance. I also look into the characters’ astrological compatibility. Both Eren & Jean are Aries with self-centric tendencies that could ‘suffocate’ Mikasa’s Aquarius internally (unpopular opinion, don’t shoot me. I admire Jean’s character development in canon!) I also feel like after four years, Mikasa sees Jean as an excellent comrade/Squad Leader. I’m very sure she’s not oblivious to his existing feelings for her. (if she can notice Annie’s feelings for Armin, she would have noticed Jean’s for her). Mikasa’s being pushed around like a ball by toxic masculinity in her environment before or after Eren goes ‘rogue’. Too often people see her as an angry, broken robot with disconnected tether, which frustrates me so much.

However. 135 finally showed me how selfless Jean is & I’m all for that! [also, it made me see ReiKasaJean as a good OT3 ;’) ]

If we go by typical shonen formula, Jeankasa would be a potential endgame with the highest probability (*looking at Bleach & Naruto) xD But I don’t know, Isayama’s eccentric in his own way, anything is unpredictable with this amazing, talented madman and I’m all for that ride. He did promise he would hurt his readers. I’m ready to be hurt haha

However, whichever Mikasa & X ship ends together or whoever the endgame partner for Mikasa in canon would be, as it is gradually revealed in few months time when the series ends -- if Isayama believes that X can bring her the happiness she truly deserves, then I’m genuinely happy for her. Although, as a Mikasa fan, at this point I’d really rather she be on her own, discovering her Azumabito family origins, exploring self-love more, go on an adventure (with Armin and Annie) all over the world like Arya in GOT and adopts Gabi & Falco as her kids and raising them with Reiner as platonic co-parents wops I’m gonna stop here before i get any more new headcanon ideas. Too long has this woman be in a man’s shadow that she’s now finally liberated in canon somewhat and I’d like to see her soaring higher than she’s ever been. She’s tethered herself to Eren for 10 years now, I just want to see her be truly free for once. If she chooses Jean at the end of SnK, I’d hope it’s because she truly loves him & not because he’s always been there to pick up the pieces left by Eren. It would be unfair to Jean as well because he’d know she’d only settle for him because he’s just there. All in all, I’m happy with any loving, healthy Mikasa ship as the endgame :) I hope this answer is not too long haha Thank you again for the kind Ask!

xoxo

[susiecarter]

I wanted to say that I love your Croc/GQ fic so much — for two characters who had very little screen time you've really done an incredible job fleshing them out. I wanted to ask, do you ever think about their future? Do they both vaguely assume they'll die on the job? would they ever manage to get out and go live in a house on a swamp in Florida somewhere?

/o\ :D Aw, man, thank you so much, anon! I'll be honest with you: I love love love that people like my Bruce/Clark work so much, and it makes me so happy ... BUT there's something a little extra awesome about making a rarepair like that convincing and engaging for anybody but me and Hecate (who convinced me with an exchange request alone), and I couldn't be gladder that you've enjoyed all my fics about them so much. \:D/! Haha, and I'm relieved you don't mind me taking liberties filling in the blanks, either. ;D

AS FOR YOUR ACTUAL QUESTION, on the one hand I'd feel silly doing anything but acknowledging that dying on the job is ... probably the most realistic outcome for them both, considering. (Like, canonically, that WAS the outcome for GQ, at least unless Suicide Squad 2 says otherwise; and when Croc's not on the job, he's in Belle Reve. I somehow doubt he gets to retire with hazard pay.) But on the other hand, if realism were what I was here for, I wouldn't be writing fic about a SEAL doing magical black ops and the mutant crocodile man he's in love with. :D

So, yeah, I am 3000% here for them both assuming they'll die on the job, and being vaguely surprised when that's not how it happens—when they keep on going, maybe save the world publicly enough that nobody can get away with stuffing Croc in a box afterward; when it gets awkward to do anything but let them both retire quietly, in exchange for them not telling anyone what else ARGUS has gotten up to. Which with me at the wheel probably results in some angsty stupid thing where they both realize they were assuming they'd be together forever, but MAYBE THE OTHER GUY WANTS SOMETHING ELSE, oh no, and they don't talk about it for ALMOST too long but then they do, and also they bang. :D

And thanks to @amaronith, I also have epic schmoopy daydreams about the most ridiculous slow creeping found-family fluff you can imagine, where they're figuring their futures are going to end because of the Squad, but instead it turns out, like—that IS their future, and it's a pretty good one (Croc finding a mutant egg on a mission! Hiding it from everyone and sneaking it back to his cell! Looking after it like the Best Taciturn Crocodile Dad! GQ discovering it one day and helping him! AND THEN IT HATCHES and everything dissolves into mutant crocodile kidfic and protectiveness and parenting without realizing how committed you are until you are Real Committed ;-; because y e s. Does Croc try to give their crocodile baby to GQ because Belle Reve's no place for a kid? Does GQ refuse and instead wrangle some kind of special dispensation, because ARGUS wants to study the baby and GQ's not above using that as a bargaining chip? DOES THEIR BABY GET STOLEN BY EVIL SCIENTISTS, and there is a rampage and a big rescue mission and everything is hearts? PROBABLY YES :D). Which, by the way, dioscorea wrote accidental baby acquisition ALREADY and it's so good and I love everything about it. ;-; JUST A PSA.

And there is DEFINITELY some kind of longfic in my heart where ... like, GQ gets an opportunity on a mission somehow to dig the bomb-thing out of Croc's neck for him, and does it, and tells him to get the fuck out while he can; and Croc stares at him for a minute until GQ really yells at him because somebody's going to notice the bomb-thing signal going dark or whatever, and then does go; and GQ pretends to everybody else that Croc died on that mission, and assumes Croc's making the most of his freedom and that GQ's never going to see him again. ;-; But he's Okay With That because At Least Croc Got Out, and Probably Croc Looks At Him And Sees ARGUS Anyway, and It's Better This Way. ;-; BUT THEN he gets injured somehow and has to take like six months, a year, to recuperate—or even cursed rather than injured, and he's being put on furlough until it can get broken—and he lets himself be shuffled off to some ARGUS safehouse (except maybe he gets to pick which one, and picks the one close to a swamp because it ~reminds him of ~someone). And he's living out in the middle of nowhere by himself for like a month, recovering, doing PT, before one night he thinks he sees something move in the water. :D And he doesn't dare let himself believe it's Croc, but IT TOTALLY IS, and Croc tracked him down on purpose and doesn't leave, and they end up with this whole weird domestic routine where they're sort of living together in the marshy wilderness, and they don't talk about it until they do, and then they bang. /o\

So, uh, yeah. Their immediate future is definitely filled with missions and adventures and probably getting accidentally soulbonded. :D But I love love love to think about how they could end up sticking together over the longer term, alive and looking after each other and living together next to a lot of water. ♥ THANK YOU FOR ASKING, SORRY ABOUT THE ESSAY

[thelionshoarde]

the magnificent @sabraeal got me, :3 :3

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

It’s from an unfinished short story I wrote back in 2014: It was awful business working in the Lion’s Hoarde Inn. I think I just enjoyed the sound of it, (:

Some Nights, my first Teen Wolf fic. People really love pack mom!Stiles, apparently lol.

3. What is your FFnNet/AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

Things are about to get real lengthy, so...

@sabraeal, of course, is a dream come true, and is currently back at it with her long reviews, and BE STILL MY HEART. @superhappybubbleslove kicks ass every Saturday with her amazingness (and often is the only, or one of the only ones, to comment on a very particular thing that i really loved about a story or art, and i always fist pump whenever she does that hahaha)  @claudeng80 has given me some of my favorite comments, EVER, and I often have to take a day or more to process my emotions before I can actually respond coherently haha, I GET VERY EXCITED, OKAY. @hidetheremote is one of my most faithful and kind and generous commenters, I am always thrilled to receive them and she’s been showering me with encouragement since the beginning, so she has a VERY special place in my heart! I have a few commenters on my ot3 things that are incredibly kind, or people who have bookmarked/kudo’d almost all of them, and while I do not believe I know their tumblr handles, but I would sell my first born for you. :| special shout out to @vfordii and @stuffaeamade and @raediation who are always SO supportive of my obizenyuki feels hahaha! @youseimanami is a one woman cheer squad and AMAZING, so kind and so so sweet, and her comments always feel SO genuine, they just make my heart get all swelled up and fuzzy and warm, I love her! I know I’m forgetting people, but I LOVE YOU ALL, YOU ARE ALL MY FAVORITES D;

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

I cycle through over time. There are a lot of older, long fics in other fandoms that I occasionally go back to when I need a pick-me up lol. Currently, there is I KID YOU NOT a south park kenny/kyle fic that I’m in love with and have read 2-3 times in the last couple months since I first read it and I WILL PROBABLY INDULGE AGAIN, SOON. (gold digger, IT IS AMAZING, OKAY)

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

N O P E, i have no shame filter 8D .....ok, wait, the a/b/o one because it’s omega!obi and i’ve been a tad leery of the response i may receive for how very, uh, not your usual obiyuki dynamic in bed i want to make it. >_>

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Hn, yes and yes and yes and yes. My big thing is: I want to learn how to finish lengthier things. I got into fandom to try and do that, and it’s my goal for this year, especially.

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

Rarepairs, I think! Even when I write popular ships I usually write them in the less popular fashion haha. But mostly, I just write whatever I want, which is often a myriad of different pairings!

12. How many stories have you posted on FFNet/AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

13 stories on ffnet, and a few of those were also on my livejournal. I don’t have an exact number for livejournal, but it’s over 100. I’ve started moving some of those fics from my livejournal to ao3, now, so I’m up to 40. Only 23 of my ao3 stories aren’t also on livejournal  at this moment lol. And there are a couple of things on tumblr I haven’t moved onto ao3 yet.

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

I am unwilling to go down that dark and dangerous path. :|

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I try and write down whatever jumps in my head, because I WILL forget things, otherwise. But I’ll spend days mulling over an idea, sometimes, before I am able to sit down and write it.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Back in eljay days I wrote stories with other people on occasion. Sometimes it was just writing comment fic back and forth at each other. Or writing different scenes in the same universe that went together. Nothing big.

16. How did you discover FFNet/AO3?

I know I stumbled on ffnet myself, but I don’t remember for ao3. O: Pretty certain someone told me about it, but when I had livejournal I didn’t really use anything else.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on FFNet/AO3?

Hm, I’ve never been a widely popular anything, though I was lucky enough to have some excellent fans on eljay, who would jump fandoms with me just because they wanted to read my stuff. And folk who were incredibly kind and generous with their praise no matter how many random things I churned out haha. I’ve always been thrilled if there’s just ONE person who enjoyed a story I put out! I’m pretty easy to please!

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

My darlings!

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Anyone who writes is an inspiration to me. I see people putting up fic and publishing novels, and I go I WANT TO DO THAT, UGH. Because I’ve always been a writer, ever since I was teeny, and have never stopped wanting to do it. I’ve always been in love with words, and stories. (As I’m sure many others can relate: I used to get in trouble in elementary school because I would read as I walked, and it was EARLY elementary school, where you had to walk in lines with your class because they were afraid they were gonna lose you, and I could read while I walked because I would just follow whoever was in front of me to wherever we were going haha)

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

It’s 100% okay if you write something, and you’re really proud of it, and you go back later -- a week, a day, a month, two years, whatever -- and think: THIS IS THE WORST. That doesn’t ever really go away, because as creators we are constantly evolving and looking to improve, and often times something that is actually quite solid and gives many readers joy will be a thing that you facepalm over, later. Use that to keep writing, and try to remember that you are most definitely your own worst critic. At the end of the day, keep doing this thing because you love it. Your work IS worthy, even when you think it should be set on fire and scattered across the deepest ocean never to be seen again!

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

A combo! Sometimes, especially for shorter things, I just get an idea, and sometimes I just think about it for a little while, and then I open a doc and I just go to town until it’s finished. Other times I start off by writing out the thoughts and building off of that, and sometimes I slip into actually writing it and then back to outlining. USUALLY I start writing a thing because I have a tiny spark of an idea, or a situation/concept I find interesting, and I have no idea where it’s going, and I just write to see what happens, and THEN I start plotting things out as I go, which can be one of the MOST frustrating ways to write a story. Anything big I’ve ever written (and I’ve written several drafts of several novels) starts out like this, where I have a random idea and I sit down and I write out whatever scenes crop up in my head, and then I start filling in the blanks, later. A lot of my longer fandom things also are like this. heading for a small disaster was me just sort of sitting around and thinking about an entirely different story, and then I had like, a half-formed idea for a single scene in my head, so I sat down and started writing chapter 1 to GET to that scene, coming up with stuff as I needed it, and by the time I hit the end of ch1 I was no where near my original idea, and had a bunch of other ideas, and THEN I started plotting things out.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

I’m sure I have! Though I haven’t posted fandom anything for a long time, so I don’t really remember. One comment I do recall was not a BAD comment, it was a comment about a bad thing I had done in neglecting to tag something, and then I got all defensive because I was younger and even more stupid than I am now, and I was an asshole, which I regret. ):

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

Action! Also, stationary scenes with multiple people that DOESN’T have action! Okay, ANY scene that has more than one person is tricky, though two people at least helps in pacing because it’s easier to intersperse dialogue, but you add one more person into a scene and I’m laying my head on my desk and CRYING. Transition scenes are also my bane, I have the hardest time figuring out how to move from point a to b. Basically: EVERYTHING IS DIFFICULT. That’s half the fun of writing something, though.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

Too many, but I’m trying to focus on finishing up some longer things this year. Of course, despite that having been my resolution before the year even began, I have somehow found myself with two new longer fics than WHEN THE YEAR STARTED, ugh. disaster, magic!cowboy au, lyrias center, unicorn au, soulmate tattoo au, a second part to we can make our own way, the full version of back alley complete with smut and EMOTIONS, fight club au, ot3 modern day neighbors au, and all the christmas prompts I haven’t done yet, and I have like, two more chapters of picture perfect planned out that I just haven’t written yet, I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME THINNING THE HERD, I 100% come up with more ideas than ever get written, as I’m sure most writers do haha.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

HAHAHA

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Nah, I almost never succeed at stuff like that, and I get pissy if I fail, so I’ve learned not to put myself into that position if I can, because it just hurts my writing. I just write when I want, or when I have time even if I don’t want.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Hopefully! Though posting old stuff to ao3 has made me aware that my vocabulary has actually suffered over time, and I’m hoping to fix that!

28. What is your favorite story(s) that you’ve written?

I don’t entirely love anything that I’ve written. There are aspects of many things that I love dearly, though none of it really wins out against another. I’ll say: three of my orig novels are probably closest to being no 1.

29. What is your least favorite story(s) that you’ve written?

There was this one HP fic I wrote when I was like, 14?? I don’t know, but apparently I was VERY ANGRY, and wrote some really messed up stuff, and I wouldn’t mind being able to bury that shit haha. But truthfully -- I probably grew a lot from it, as embarrassing as it is to me, now. ...okay, there was a LOT of HP fic wherein I was in my DARK AND ANGSTY years, that, whew! I’m glad I’m not that person anymore haha.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Still writing, hopefully. :3

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

CRYING. Crying is very easy, and so is laying my head on my desk and despairing that I will ever figure out how to make things work.

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

WORKING THROUGH THE TEARS. It is very easy to give up, and mope, much more difficult to grit your teeth and wrangle a story into submission.

33. Why do you write?

Because I love the power of words. It’s magic. A written story is essentially an illusion spell. You put the right words on the page in the correct order, and behold! An entire world, with living characters, is born within the mind of a reader. And a single, minute change to any one of those words may shift the whole thing. It’s a constantly evolving formula, and full of surprises, and if you are particularly lucky and diligent you might even be able to spin an entire tale that grips people, shakes them up and makes them believe in something impossible, something that YOU created, from nearly nothing. That kind of power is pretty damned addictive.

[linkspooky]

your uihai fic gives me life!! and i'm so intrigued by the touka + furuta ship, it makes me wonder how that's gonna pan out haha. would you ever consider making a post of the ships you have? because i'm super interested now, you seem to like some eclectic stuff

Thank you!

It’s been a rarepair of mine for awhile but to be honest @neimana‘s art helped inspire me a lot for it. 

Actually, I’m not that particular about ships, which is part of why I try to avoid talking about them on this blog because I’m not too invested in them one way or another to actually try to start arguments about them. I’m actually cool with most ships no matter what I’m reading. 

If you want though I can give you a quick rundown of my Major TG ships. Under the cut though of course because it’s a personal opinion:

1. EtoKen

Does your ship have an entire volume cover dedicated to it? Because mine does.

For me what makes the ship so interesting is the terrifying amount of similiarities between Kaneki and Eto. How the two of them can read each other from so far away even without having met each other. 

It’s because Kaneki and Eto are essentially the same person. The two of them despite their individual pretenses at grandeur are just lost and unloved children lashing out against the world. Their every motivation can be traced back, not for their sympathy towards others or the state of the world, but rather their own personal grudges for the way their parents treated them. Kaneki says he sympathizes with ghouls because he felt alone from most of society and knows what it’s like to be excluded. Eto says much later that she rejects V’s philosophy because Furuta’s opinion is that of an excluder. 

Which is why it’s so interesting to see the two interact, as with Kaneki’s pretense, and his rejection of his more violent ghoul side he seems to reject everything that Eto is, and see much more humanity in people like Arima. Yet, while on the surface rejecting her he’s inevitably drawn towards her too, he names his organization after his favorite book of hers, he hatches from the black goat’s egg and ends up becoming more like her. I like relationships that are interesting character studies, where the two characters can react to each other in dynamic ways and that is what EtoKen is. 

2. SeiAki

As I said I prefer my character interactions to be dynamic. Something I’ve noticed for a long time about Seidou and Akira is that they always seem to inspire change in the other.

Seidou goes into the operation afraid of dying, and feeling vastly inferior and even jealous of Akira and Amon’s growing closeness. Yet the thing that inspires his brave and selfless deed is Akira’s look of worry. 

Seidou notices because he’s watching her. That’s my favorite motife about this ship, these two always seem so far apart, always seem to be trying to run away from each other or start some kind of fight to prevent themselves from being close but secretly they’re always in each other’s eyes.

This flashback in particular is what got me so attached to the ship when beforehand I could have gone either or for both Seidou and Akira. It’s rather subtle, but if you look at the previous panel you can see what it’s about.

Akira’s pretty much always been known as a ghoul investigator her entire life, and the offspring of two ghoul investigator parents. She feels pressured to not only assume the responsibility and identity of her mother, but also she feels obligated to always succeed because she knows her father was unable to rank up because of her. At school too, people credited her success to her bloodline and not what she herself accomplished. 

When she looks at Takizawa though, the person he was competing with was not Kureo’s daughter, not Kasuka’s daughter, but Akira herself. Look then at what she says to Takizawa afterwards. 

The reason that Akira feels so empty, which she doesn’t even seem to realize much later, is because she’s always repressed her true self, in order to try to live up to the expectations of Kasuka and Kureo’s daughter. In Takizawa though, her true self comes forward once again and it’s so overpowering it causes her to act illogically.

She’s always in his eyes. 

As I said here the key word is dynamic. Akira and Seidou often force each other to change through their conflicting personalities. So much of Seidou is wrapped up in the same projetion of every other character is in, in early Tokyo Ghoul. He’s basically reduced to his inferiority issues in regards to Akira and clings onto that.

By the time it’s coe to a boiling point you can tell all he wants is for Akira, the point of his fixation to give him that validation but she doesn’t. She refuses. She does the opposite and tells him to his face that he should die like a dog for being a ghoul.

Rather than absolutely breaking him though, all this breaks is Seidou’s fixation and once again he’s able to act selflessly in the same way he did at the end of Tokyo Ghoul. Once again, Seidou puts Akira’s happiness over his own, even if it means the one person he’s so fixated on won’t be giving him the love and reassurance he wants from her.

The temptation was there, Takizawa even said to Kaneki that his current reason for becoming King (To be with Touka, and his close friends) was similiar to his own. We see Takizawa take the opposite path though to choose not to make the mistake that all of the other characters have this arc, and use another person as a human crutch.

So to see the change that can be inspired, just by this conflict with each other between Seidou and Akira, in comparison it’s kind of less dynamic when Akira just kind of gets together with Amon despite him also being a human killing ghoul. Amon never had to face the side of Akira that would tell Takizawa to his face that despite their past together, because he was a ghoul now he had to die. Akira never had to face the side of Amon that is indeed a dangerous ghoul, just as dangerous as Takizawa to be frank considering that Amon’s an uncontrollable Kakuja berserker, mainly because he doesn’t want to learn to control or even acknowledge properly his ghoul side.

Amon’s advice to Akira is to just continue being empty. Whereas Seidou actually brought out Akira’s long repressed feelings once again. Seidou is the one character who somehow beat the moon arc trap of not becoming too attached to one person and forgetting the whole rest of the world. Amon and Akira fall into it by latching onto each other. 

I’m not trying to throw shade here at all, this is just my genuine interpretation. As of now, Seidou and Akira have inspired each other to change, whereas Amon and Akira’s reuniting directly caused both of them to stagnate when they were at an oppurtunity where they could have changed and as a result they’ve almost entirely disappeared from the plot together even though both are plot important characters. 

People like different things from different ships. If you like Akira and Amon because the two of them are such a great source of comfort and support with each other, that’s fine. They were actually my preferred ship in Tokyo Ghoul when Akira hated Amon, and Amon was like “???? how do socialize???” because there was conflict there. I just prefer ships with dynamic conflict, sometimes bordering on the problematic as you can tell. 

I also like ships that somehow never end up together, and it’s probably better that way, lol. 

3. UiHai

Okay, this one’s obvious. For what it’s worth though, I like this ship for a different reason than you might think. I don’t ship this for Ui’s happiness, but rather Hairu’s.

It’s always struck me as a particularly terrible tragedy that Hairu died, without even the smallest thing that she wanted, words of praise from Arima, being given to her no matter how hard she fought. 

She was, just like the rest of the garden children, just a child starved for love trying to make the best with what little life was given to her. Yet she couldn’t have that one small thing. It would be easy to assume the tragedy was that Hairu was never loved, and never mourned, because Arima himself despite Hairu thinking the absolute world of him never even reacted to her death.

Then 53 rolls around and we find out, oh. Hairu was loved.

Oh boy, was she loved.

That’s what appeals to me about the ship. That Hairu seemed so unloved at first, and Arima the target of her affections couldn’t do something even so basic for her, but then there’s Ui, and for her sake we see him sell out absolutely everything.

How beautifull Ui pictured her in his head, how much and how far he’s willing to go just for the slim chance of her revival. How an emotionally stoic character like Ui, breaks down again and again in pain for her.

There’s just so much love in that. While it’s not entirely for Hairu’s sake, as Ui himself admits he wanted something to hold onto too, his relationship with Hairu, the fact that they called each other by their first names and hung out together despite him far outranking her and mentoring her has always read as something closer to equals for me. 

Honestly, if you read Tension in Re:Quest. Ui basically brings the Arima Squad, and the Take squad into the art compettition just so Hairu has a better chance of winning the Arima Prize, only for Hairu not really to notice the praise he gave her afterwards, because Arima ultimately didn’t pick her piece. 

It’s a little bit twisted, but it’s far too sad for me to think that Hairu a garden child died like that without ever realizing there was at least one person who loved her, and praised her, and wanted to do things for her, the same way she wanted Arima to. 

That’s why I like this ship so much, I just hope as twisted as it is, that some of Ui’s love can eventually reach her. Even if it’s just for a small moment of resolution before saying goodbye again.

4. FuruTou

This is a weird one, but remember, Touka and Furuta have met in canon before. 

I mean, at least before he started leading the army against Goat headquarters... yeah...

It’s just interesting though, Kaneki and Furuta are such close parallels, both of them being meek and plain people on the surface who hide otherwise violent personalities and delusions of grandeur. 

Furuta is so alike Kaneki, that I can imagine all of Touka’s reasons for liking Kaneki currently could apply to Furuta as well.

The two of them come from similiar places of trauma, and Touka is trying to become a place of support and unconditional love for Kaneki. On one hand, this is an act of true selflessness in her willingness to believe in Kaneki and wait for him to return. On another hand, Touka is also trying to love a suicidal man back into wanting to live. At which point you can probably see the obvious parallel with Furuta.

At the same time, Furuta and Kaneki seem to have the same kind of “teehee girls” relationship with the opposite gender that Kaneki has.

“So you like FuruTou because it’s like TouKen?” No, I like it because it would parallel TouKen. Furuta is very like Kaneki, but he’s not like Kaneki in one major regard. Furuta is self aware, decisive and always takes action. Whereas Kaneki has a habit of clinging, and wanting to cling, Furuta is the obvious and wants to destroy any possible relationship that could get close to him. Then we get to the elephant in the room. 

Which is where you get his hapless destruction of Rize. Not because he hated her, or at least not entirely, but because he felt things. Furuta who must assume the role of the bureau chief, the heartless monster who must use even the people he feels sorry for using to achieve his goal, has one weakness in a person who knew him before he became this machine. When he was a child, with feelings, and even dreams.

Of course what Furuta did to Rize, is much more tragic for Rize than it is for himself. It’s still interesting though as a character decision. Furuta and Touka are interesting because for the same way that Furuta is Kaneki, Furuta is also Touka.

He’s the Touka who got sick of his one selfless deed though. He’s Touka if she had gotten sick of waiting in :Re, and decided to kill Kaneki when he was Sasaki instead. 

That’s why it’s interesting to me. Touka is ultimately selfless and wants to heal people, and seeks a partnership. Furuta was selfless once, and since then has become selfish precisely because he made that choice or at least in opposition to it, and he wants to be ultimately alone. It’s two people who could work well together actually and have compatible personalities, (Touka tends to go for more meek lighthearted types anyway, she preferred Kuroneki to Shironeki). However, there’s something fundamental inside of them that puts them at odds. That’s conflict, that’s dynamic. 

As I said before, just for EtoKen I don’t really imagine them in a happily ever after scenario or even really falling in love, but I think their potential interaction is just really interesting.

[rakuraiwielder]

I'm working on your ask, but here's some for you: I, A, M, S, P, O, T

Ask prompt here: x

thanks puffin!! this is gonna be long and nostalgic eyy

I - HasTumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? 

I wouldn’t say “actively dislike” butthe toxicity of fandom on this website has sucked away most of my passion for Voltron lol. I used to really dig itthe first month or so after getting really into it when S2 aired. I still havean unfinished draft for a 7-parter rarepair fic //ey guess my fav duo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)// sitting in my folders. don’t think I’llbe touching it any time soon though. im rather burnt out from this fandom, evenif I do still enjoy watching all the new seasons thereafter.

another is StevenUniverse ah a. (but in its and my defence, I wasn’t really into it anywaysas compared to other fandoms. the songs are still good, but I haven’t beenkeeping up with the newer Steven bombs, one part because of motivation, andanother because the thought of going into the tags to reblog contentintimidates the heck out of me pffft)

A - Ships that youcurrently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone hasOTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

(puffin this question is gonnatake up half the ask oh god)oh bOY where do I start hahahaha. there’s so many aph and fe callbacks hahaha few otps aside I really have too manycrackpairs and platonic friendship ride-or-die squads I would die for. theseare only a few really relevant ones from the top of my head-

OTPS:

Norway/Vietnam (Hetalia) – alWAYS. i dont talk about and reblog much aph anymore but i still think about these two frequently. they were my first and closestthing ever to an actual otp in all my years of knowing what an otp was gosh Ihope to write about them again soon. their dynamics are the peak of mypreferences.

MU(avatar unit)/Silas (FE Fates) – thechildhood friends + loyal knight and liege trope + a pinch of memory loss wasnever really my thing, but guess there’s a first for everything ha h a ah a….silas is too pure for the angst I put him through im so sorry ಸ ل͜ ಸ

Berkut/Rinea (FE: SOV) – the second that one cutscene of these two played I got1000% more invested in the story pffft. anyways rinea may be top tier fav andberkut shit tier fav, and their story tragic as heck (and I would also arguethat he doesn’t deserve her), but their genuine and honest love for each otheramidst the incoming death flags gets me every time

707/MC (Mystic messenger) – honestly they can either be a really good platonicdynamic duo or a solid otp. purely from the perspective of my own MC, theycomplement each other well; perfect balance of light-hearted teasing and asolid wall of comfort for each other.

Ray-Saeran/MC (Mystic messenger) – ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

(Other) Ships:

Seychelles/Iceland/HK (Hetalia) – they are good togetherromantically or platonically hahahaha. a good golden trio of kids

Russia/Vietnam (Hetalia) – their potential relationship and clashof character due to conflicting personalities fascinate me. a totally differentnoir vibe from norviet and one I hope to explore if I ever come back to aph

Nyx/Leo (FE Fates) – nyx ships are reallyrare but half of them are surprisingly sweet and poignant. Odin and Laslow tooare really sweet candidates to woo this jaded grandma’s heart.

MU/Laslow (FE Fates) – got to thank a wacky7-11 employee au dream I had for this one. but in the games their supportconversations are surprisingly thoughtful and low-key flirting which was notwhat I expected at all. wholesome.

Ham/Kai (MUxMU, FE) – remember when I said protag/protagships are the good stuff? yea h thatprincess tutu au is coming along swell

Alm/Celica (FE: SOV) – the rare main canon couple I love whodon’t die and get their happy ending (LOL this sounds really pathetic now thatI’ve said it)

Leon/Valbar (FE: SOV) – no one is surprised LOL. romantic orno, as long as leon is happy with where he stands with valbar and valbar ishappy with where he is im happy for them both

Conrad/Rinea (FE: SOV) – I know there are a couple of youreading this whos gonna give me that look but liste n; they could have met, and there is potential for them.(honestly this is just like another norviet situation where I put my 2 topfaves together for crackpair experimentation bUT IT WORKS I ASSURE YOU)

Zen/MC (Mystic messenger) – zen is so earnest that I can’t refute himhahaha. he also has a special seat in my mysme heart, since he was the firstroute I played and made me create content for the fandom proper

707/Jaehee (Mystic messenger) – they are rapidly gaining OTP status ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª aaaa nightmare flashbacks because justlike norviet they really are the rarest of crackpairs and have almost to no content(gonna get down to business and churn fic out one day). these two are moresimilar than they’d think too.

Cecil/Haruka (Utapri) – ahahaha a good ship from a guiltypleasure fandom

(Purely) Platonic:

Izuku/Iida/Ochako (BNHA) – the first golden trio of thisseries. I love them so much.

Vanderwood/MC (Mystic messenger) – they parallel each other. truly thebiggest ride-or-die duo I will support to the end of time

Zen/Yoosung (Mystic messenger) – zen is such a mother hen to yoosungwwwww truly wholesome

Chise/Ruth (Ancient Magus Bride) – platonic master/familiar-partner relationships where both of them care for each other so much to the point where they would die for the other are my one weakness. its the reason i love writing more fleshed-out pokemon aus and loyal dogs/animals in longer fics. anyways these two are good

M - Name acharacter that you’d like to have for a friend.

707. It would be a trip justknowing him. (apart from the memes. but my life is already 80% meme, honestlywhats the difference ahahaha aaa-) Just, I feel like it would be really fun tohang out with him and revel in his wackiness (even if that personality is afront, maybe one day when i finally get into his inner-circle of friends, I hopeto be privy and be a good listening ear to his truer, more sombre personality.)

On the other hand, myself-confidence and 2nd hand embarrassment will be directlyproportional to each other (And im 100% sure Seven is the kind of person whowill exploit that hAH)

S - Show us anexample of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Every relevant character inMysmes is either a type of asexual (greysexual etc.), or on various points ofthe bi-spectrum. Yeah; even self-proclaimed, “straight-laced” Zen lol.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (wealways need more ideas)

Vampire/Selkie AU ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

a selkie whose skin gets stolen and hidden from a human man is forced to become his bride and taken back to his village. there, to escape the stares of bigoted villagers and the clutches of her overbearing and possessive husband, she takes refuge in the only place he would not go; the old holy church.

only, she finds she isn’t the first to occupy this place of solitude. the master of the church notices her soon enough, and when vampire recognises the ancient weave of magic that flows within her, he appears; intrigued for something other than a fresh meal.

(basically a deviation from the standard vampire (romance-ish) novels lolol plot bunny hit me pre-Christmas eve dinner/yesterday and sofar im digging it. still planning the ship and fandom though; it might very easily be OC-based)

O - Choose a songat random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

since 1 is never enough, hereare 4 songs I was listening to recently:

Little Knights, Nem feat.Noire : Zen/MC(a zen-ish song through and through)

over and over, Yanagi Nagi : Saeran Choi + 707&MC(more saeran-centric with interpretative lyrics and referencing to both ray andunknown personas)

Finding something to do, HelloGoodbye : 707/Jaehee(fits their “don’t go where I can’t follow” dynamic haha ow.)

Life will Change, Shoji Meguro + Benjamin Franklin feat. Lyn Inaizumi : Kai(mui) or Ham(let)(honestly the entire persona 5 ost is massive fe fates protag feels)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons thatyou will die defending?

Not really. I’m a very flexible person when it comes tointerpretable lore and content, especially if it’s the type of HCs that thefandom collectively comes up with. Unless it’s a canon fact, I like to dabble orjust stay away from HCs in general. If I have to come up with some in my fics,then so be it. But most of the time these HCs are either super vague or onlyapply to the context in this particular piece or series of writing. Basically Idon’t mind switching HCs for charas frequently as long as it does notfundamentally change their own character. (HCs for hobbies and loves and habitsand relationships apart from their inner circle, etc. are all fine)

Honestly it just boils down to expectations lol I know myown limits, and I know not to be disappointed when canon updates end updebunking (popular) fandom HCs or my own.

[todokori-kun]

‘I’d even ship him with Shuu’ what have you done now I’m actually shipping that (Shuu trying to be his usual romantic, flirtatious self and then realising Urie either doesn’t get it or doesn’t want to get it)

I KNOW IT’S SO SAD

TG’s quality does seem to be going down a bit these last few chapters (I think the real problem started with the Touken romance. I swear I’m not being salty about a ship I don’t particularly like being canon, I just feel like the pacing was a bit bad…Touka’s ‘are you a virgin’ came completely out of the blue, plus Touken has hardly interacted in Re before the recent chapters. It’s been YEARS since they’ve seen each other, wouldn’t things have changed? Neither of them are teenagers anymore. Both of them have grown and changed, but Touka chose not to stay near Kaneki and watch his growth, while Kaneki had no way to see how Touka’s experiences gradually changed her. But Ishida decided to suddenly make it canon and then start focusing on the Touka-Kaneki-Mutsuki triangle to the point where it feels like he’s abandoning his other plot threads… kind of like what Isayama’s been doing lately.).

However, I believe that Ishida is completely capable of making things better if he wants to (remember, he still has the Hide trump card- bring Hide back in a believable way that nobody has predicted and also adds to the story, and I imagine most of the fandom will forgive everything that’s gone wrong in Re so far) so I’ll stick around. Plus, I’ve just gotten too attached to all the characters ;-;

Ugh, y'know, even if it wouldn’t fit very well with all the implied Mutsurie, I wish Ishida would just pull a plot twist and make Ken/Urie or Urie/Saiko canon.

I think I kinda hate centipedes now.

1: Yeah, I don’t think that’s Mutsuki’s hand either (like you said, it looked pretty 'fresh’. Plus, I have no idea how Mutsuki would have gotten one of the limbs Torso cut off). The only reason I mentioned it was because of the parallel with Torso showing Mutsuki their own hand with a wedding ring on it…Ishida loves his symbolism so I thought this might actually matter to the plot.

2: I think it was probably either a stranger or an acquaintance, since she seems slightly surprised and not exactly 'happy’ to see this person, but not afraid or displeased either. I’m scared…why would Ishida not show us who it was if it wasn’t something important? If things went well Yoriko’s probaby just gained some knowledge about what’s going on (perhaps she’s been told where Touka is and why she can’t come to the wedding?), but if not…perhaps a villain’s blackmailing her…idk :(

3: I want to believe that too, but I’m not sure yet. If there’s a reason for Yoriko looking so serious then that might be connected with the mystery character who greeted her when she was out shopping.

Thank you, that really means a lot to me <3 What I’m really worried about right now is that I go to a piano 'hagwon’ (a cram school of sorts, I guess?) and this year they’re going to do a small concert. Everyone who goes to the hagwon has to play a song and I have no idea how I’m going to do this ;-; just trying to look a person in the eyes when I’m talking to them scares me, how am I supposed to get on the stage in front of a crowd (a small crowd, since everyone there to see the concert will be the parents/family of the kids participating, but seriously). Things are just a bit complicated XD

Adorable Shuu. I guess that would just make me tease him even more LOL I’d probably ruin all his dramatic moments.

(Now that I think about it, though, Shuu and I have similar interests: music, fashion, art, literature…though I guess he’s a lot more interested in food than I am haha)

Oh, I’m so glad you liked them! I tried my best ;)

I actually like doing matchup things so that may be why they’re acceptable…if I ever get a tumblr account I think I’d like to make a scenario/hc/matchup blog.

As for Storm in Lover, yep, that was from your 'the names are weird’ message XD after I decided to add Love Live into the headcanons I ended up going on YT to listen to a few of the songs. They were all really cool, but it just felt like Storm in Lover would be Urie’s guilty pleasure song (or maybe that’s just because I ended up likng SiL way more than I was prepared for?)

BLOW US ALL AWAY QUEEN LUNA

I’M GLAD MY HUMBLE HEADCANONS COULD HELP

I WILL WRITE MORE

AS MANY AS YOU NEED TO GET THROUGH NEXT WEEK

(Seriously tho

-since your hair is either 'too long and in a ponytail’ or 'really short and in a ponytail’, Urie is secretly very, very disappointed when you’re wearing it short. He likes playing with your hair when you’re too busy watching TV or reading to notice he’s being cute ok

-short or long, whenever Urie gets a hold of your hair, he WILL style it. Don’t you dare say no to the Captain of the Q squad. A simple ponytail? Unacceptable.

-Saiko approves of this relationship

-So would Sasaki, if Sasaki still existed

-Shirazu approves from beyond the grave

-Mutsuki doesn’t care)

Thanks! <33 And yeah, I think I’m slowly starting to get the hang of it ^^

I find all of those moments very relatable. Golfishes unite! :D

Burr is one of those weirdly shippable characters that almost every fandom seems to have…

And oh, I see! Honestly Tony is still one of my favorite avengers…RDJ really brings him to life. And if you’ve seen Captain America I definitely recommend The Winter Soldier and Civil War (next movies in the series)! So much Bucky angst ;-; Also the Thor movies, because I have a feeling you might like Loki.

Some of the best Loki quotes:

“Well done, you’ve just decaptitated your grandfather!”

“An ant has no quarrel with a boot.”

“Freedom is life’s great lie.”

“Oh dear, is she dead?”

Btw, do you remember the time I said I’d write a Heathers one-shot on the Yoi blog and never did? I think I’m getting over my writer’s block so maybe I can write that one-shot and submit it here?(And if that’s ok, do you maybe have any suggestions for which character I could use? I was going to write it as a Yuuri/reader but that doesn’t seem to fit so well anymore, so I might go with a TG character…I’d also like to use a character you like, since you’ll probably be the only person reading it ^^;;)

Speaking of Heathers though, when you have the time, is it ok if I try to drag you into that fandom again? Along with Dear Evan(s) Hansen. It’ll hurt you very, very badly but it’ll probably be worth it.

Oh dear, even more rarepairs. And I’m the one who ‘invented’ this one. Well, like I’ve said, as long as Urie is happy, I don’t care about whom he’s with. 

ISHIDA IS A GHOUL, ONLY HE DOESN’T LIVE OFF OF DEAD HUMANS, HE LIVES OFF OF PEOPLE’S SUFFERING!!!

Honestly, you’ve voiced my thoughts perfectly. I can’t help but get irritated at all the changes that have been happening. For me, it started around the time we found out about Mutsuki’s past. I mean, can’t we have one character who had a nice childhood and isn’t insane deep inside? At this point, basically everything is overdoing it for me. Let them have a break. A nice moment. A single day without a centipede or someone dying.  TG is slowly turning into shoujo manga. A sick, twisted shoujo manga, but a romantic one. That is the one thing I didn’t want from it. It was actually nice to have a manga without pointless crushes which play an important role in the plot, for a change. Guess I was wrong.

Dude, I don’t care who he kills, if Ishida brings Hide back, he is automatically forgiven for everything and anything. Well, I would care if he killed characters like, but other than that, he’s free to kill anyone he wants (like Furuta (or maaaaybe Mutsuki, but I’d like it better if they redeemed themselves (though that might be difficult))).

I just… I want the cookie to be happy. And Mutsuki is definitely not making him happy.

Gaaah, so many questions and symbolisms, it’s making my head hurt. Here’s my theory: This is a huge setup for everyone to be happy. Mutsuki will run away to New Zealand or something and restart their life, Kaneki and Touka will get married (tho I don’t quite ship it, whatever, as long as they’re happy), Urie will realise he’s loved Saiko all along and she’ll be there waiting for him. Kanae is actually alive and so is Hide. Kanae and Shuu get married. Hide finds himself a nice girlfriend (or boyfriend, not gonna discriminate), opens a pet shop and is happy.

Everyone is happy. 

Okay, but imagine this au: ghouls don't exist and there's no reason for so much suffering. Kaneki and Touka are two kids who knew each other from school and now run a coffee shop together. The Q squad went ri the same class and Saiko alway loved Urie. He recently realised it. And so on.

Ah, I definitely know how you feel. I went to music school as well, and we had yearly (or half-yearly, depending on how long you’ve played the piano) recitals. My method of calming down was to imagine I was at home, alone and just practicing. There was no one around me, and it didn’t matter if I messed up. I could always start again. Also, the audience was vegetables, as far as my imagination was concerned. It did help.

I know you can do it (๑و•̀ω•́)و You’re a fighter! The great Evans who can always cheer me up when I’m down. If I’m the queen, then you’re the king! All hail king Evans who’ll kick the recital’s butt!

Oh you would ruin all his moments, and it would be the most amazing thing ever. I’d always laugh at it, cause he’d be denied of all his theatrics.

They’re not ‘acceptable’, they’re absolutely perfect. I seriously can’t thank you enough, because they were very nice cheer-up material after a whole morning of cramming my two least favourite subjects. I’m pretty sure you’d do amazing if you got a blog. You do have amazing talent for writing.

Oh my~ Would you mind then if I listed a few more songs, my favourites?

Yozora wa nandemo shitteru no?

Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari (there’s a bit of talking in this one, it’s hard to find a version that’s not sped up)

Omoi yo hitotsu ni nare

Mijuku dreamer

Guilty Eyes Fever

soldier game

Thrilling・One Way

Ookay, I’m done ^^ I’m telling you, Idol Hell is very subtle. You won’t even realise you’ve been dragged into it huehuehuehuehuehuehue

Aaand there goes my heart, again. I have no words to thank you enough for writing those, since they help me keep my sanity.

however, we know whom we’d like from TG, but what about other fandoms we share? AoT? YoI? Kuroshitsuji?

Yeah, I’ve been told many times that I’d like Loki, but strictly looks-wise, I must admit I prefer his brother, and I prefer him very much. Idk, I just have a thing for guys with slightly longer hair.

All of that sounds suspiciously like something I’d say…

Of course, feel free to submit anything here!  As for the musicals, I’d be happy to listen to them, but after this week is over, because exams. Then, I’ll listen to both Heathers and Dear Evan(s) Hansen, despite the feels ^^
