patching you up

blade x injured!gn!reader

genre - fluff

summary - blade patches you up after you got injured while fighting mara.

cw!: mentions of blood + injury, soft-ish!blade, ooc blade?, mention of blade's past life which idfk how it works lmao I should be paying attention to the storyline asjdnb, swearing, mutual pining

note - god damn. soft!blade is living in my head rent-free fr, can't get enough of him <33 I'm not usually an edgy-emo-boy fan but ig blade's just built different 💪💪

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

With each painful cough, more and more thin splatters of blood painted your mouth crimson.

It hurt. A lot. You didn't expect it to hurt nearly as bad as it did when you charged in to fight the Mara that was attacking some people that were making their way through Cloudford, but the spear that their captain had used to stab through your side was probably coated in some sort of poison, because with every sluggish step you took, you felt your body break little by little. Eventually, you collapsed onto the cold ground - your torso was numb and soon your arms and legs would be as well.

Well, at least you were going to die somewhere pretty. The sunset glimmered through the leaves of thin trees growing from large pots, which were scattered across the various bridges of the district. Starskiffs drifted lazily across the sky like regal ships on the high seas and the last thing you heard before you closed your eyes for a while was the sound of crickets and footsteps fading in.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

"Finally fucking awake."

A harsh voice came from your side as you opened your extremely tired eyes, which were met with dim but warm lighting and a dark wooden ceiling.

"Can't believe you got into this mess," the voice continued as you felt something tightening around your waist. "Didn't think that you'd be so stupid."

His face flashed in your hazy mind and you tried to sit up. "...Blade, I-"

"Don't move. You'll make it worse."

Hands. Ice-cold, gruff, but gentle hands pushed you back into your previous position by your shoulders, and you felt the tightening feeling again shortly after.

"What are you doing?" you whispered, then coughed again. Your throat was so dry - it felt like you haven't drank in decades, and with each cough you swore that your lungs were going to fly out of your mouth at the sheer force.

"Fixing you, obviously."

You raised your neck to try and catch a glimpse of your wounds but saw only the top of Blade's head, his raven hair tied back in a low ponytail. He was bent over your side, and just as you lowered your head back to the pillow a sharp bolt of pain shot through you, making you hiss and wince.

"That hurt!"

"It'll pass," he replied almost too casually. "Deal with it."

An uncomfortable pause ensued, during which you finally figured out that he was bandaging your torso up. You'd never expected anyone to find you back there, much less a Stellaron Hunter that you'd only interacted with five or six times, but thank the Aeons that at least someone did. But you did think it was strange that he was doing this for you, because from all your two-or-three-word conversations, you were sure that he wasn't the type to help an almost complete stranger. In fact, you'd think that he would be the one to cause these injuries in the first place.

While you were staring up at the ceiling in deep thought, Blade was lowkey kind-of admiring your skin. You weren't going to look down at him again anyway, it seems that you'd learned your lesson, but that just allowed him to eye your softness in more detail. This was his chance - he'd been admiring you from afar ever since you first met, and he wasn't about to let this opportunity to see what you looked like close-up pass.

Before he knew what he was doing, Blade's fingers reached out to lightly press onto skin that was near your wound, at which you hissed and leaned away from his touch.

"You sure that you're actually healing me?" you asked.

"Yes. I know what I'm doing, trust me."

He continued to press curiously but gently, making sure not to hurt you on purpose. Your skin was fascinating to him - it was soft, warm, while his was unforgivingly cold; yours had a fascinating shade of life about it and his didn't. This contrast was what made his eyes widen a little everytime he made physical contact with you, and he found small differences like these to amount to vast ones overall. Maybe this is what always made him think that you came from a different world entirely.

Blade then noticed that your hand was trembling by your side - the painkillers must be wearing off. He stood up from the chair beside the bed on which you were resting and reached for a couple pills and a glass of water on a nearby counter, moving them to the bedside table. His hands felt your back as he sat you up to administer the medicine.

You now saw where you were - from what you could tell, it was a small house or apartment somewhere. Dark wood covered the walls, ceiling, and floor, and tapestries and thriving plants littered the environment. You didn't know that he had a green thumb, but now that you did, you felt safer somehow - what if this cold, distant man was more human than you'd originally thought him to be?

His lithe, cold fingers brought you back to reality as they rested under your jaw, pulling it open gently, and your eyes focused on his admittedly quite handsome face again. Crimson eyes, the color of a blood moon, stared intensely at yours in avid concentration before travelling back to his other hand, which was now lifting a glass of sparkling golden liquid to your lips. There was a certain reverence of sorts glimmering in his expression, and this was accompanied by the fact that he was treating you like he would a glass flower. Your lips finally met the rim of the glass and when you finally tasted the elixir, you sighed.

It was cool and sweet, a refreshing sensation that battled the humidity of the room and the pain in your side. You drank the entire glass with ease and after Blade set it down on the bedside table, he wiped away some stray droplets of the shining liquid with a rough thumb.

That was it - Blade had become an entirely person just now. You could see it in his eyes and feel it as he breathed: this was not the same person who happened to be walking by a person on their deathbed and had enough pity in their secluded heart to heal them. He treated you like an old friend or a partner, perhaps, by taking you in.

"You'll experience drowsiness soon," he mentioned, "don't feel like you can't sleep. I won't leave you."

You laughed lazily in return, already feeling the effects of the painkillers. "So you can murder me in my sleep?"

"...I can leave-"

"No, no, I'm just kidding."

You sigh and relax into the pillows beneath you as Blade lowers you onto your back again. His gaze lingers on yours for maybe a second too long but he pulls away, preferring to sit down in a chair by the bedside and stare out at the scenery surrounding the house.

Once your eyes close and your breaths become quiet, he gives it a couple seconds to make sure you're asleep before softly starting to hum. It's an old tune from his past life, one which he used to smith to, and as midnight moonlight begins to stream in through the window, it veils your calm face in a hazy, shimmery glow that rivals even the smoothest of satins. He reaches a hand towards the apple of your cheek, cradling it in his palm as he sighs, a faint smile dancing on his lips.

"You're gonna kill me someday."

4 , 16 , & 17 for beneath the ice maybe⁉️

Yaaaaay thank you!! Ask Game | Beneath the Ice | Banner Source

(4) pick an alternate setting you would want to put either the main cast of your work or Jens and Messenger in— zombie apocalypse, medieval fantasy, regency era, office hijinks, etc. describe what it would look like and/or write 100+ words in this universe.

For some reason, I'm thinking of an enchanted circus, lmao! Something like the circus setting from The Wild Beyond the Witchlight (that's a D&D adventure). Maybe Jens is a performer who wandered into the circus as a child and has been imprisoned there ever since. His mind is being used to power the magic of the carnival, and he's kind of in a trance and not fully aware of what's happening. And Messenger is a fae whose job is to keep the performers in line. Jens starts trying to escape and it chases him down but then takes pity on him, just like in the current story.

They were near the edge of the fae forest when the Messenger finally caught up to him. The red and yellow lights of the tents flickered in the distance, but out here, the stars were stronger, and the Messenger felt stronger too. Many decades had passed since it had strayed this far from the Ringmasters’ tent. Its mind felt clearer, and it looked at its pretty lamb as if for the first time. The jester paint was running down his face in long streaks of smeared diamonds but he was laughing. “If you mean to kill me, you have to kill me out here, where I’m free. I win. Do you hear me? I know the truth, and I made it out. I win - ” And then his legs gave out, and the Messenger caught him. “You do not win at all, little Jens,” it whispered sadly. “I don’t mean to kill you. I mean to take you right back.” It meant to. But it did not do so. It did not move at all. It just stared down at Jens' small form in its arms for a long time, and then back at the tents. At last it turned towards the icy blackness between those towering pines, where anything could dwell except the Ringmaster, and began to carry him.

(16) what sparked Beneath the Ice? what was the original premise or jumping-off point, and do you have any records of the first notes from its creation?

My original idea was a project about a man trapped in liminal backrooms, while texting someone on the outside of his dream world who is trying to guide him in what to do to survive and escape. I was actually going to make it as a series of text messages. But then I incorporated the cosmic horror aspect and it completely changed.

I might still do the original idea as an interactive poll at some point, after the one with Allister is finished! Can the audience help someone survive and escape!?

(17) do you have a specific structure or method of plotting for Beneath the Ice? what does your drafting process look like?

I made the characters first for this one, and then decided how I wanted them to interact. But I've done a lot less plotting for it than for most of my other works, and I think that's part of why I'm moving so slowly with the project. You know what, I should write down my outline. I know roughly what happens for the major beats, but there are a lot of gaps I haven't filled in and none of it is written down.

What I do know are the themes and the arcs that I want the characters to have, and I'm really using those as my guide.

How to live in a body that suffers.

Utilitarianism versus valuing people for their own sake.

Where closure really comes from - from answers, from revenge, etc.

Those are the main things I want to talk about and wherever I see an opportunity to address them, I do.

[amoneki-ramblings]

Hi! Hope you're well and I'm not bothering you, fellow Amoneki fan here! I read 'Tokyo Ghoul' long ago, dropped ':Re' midway through (got spoilt since), but recently had a SEVERE Amoneki relapse (I don't know WHY, it's been almost a decade; but this ship is still so good actually). So I just wanted to let you know: I am extremely grateful for your blog, I feel less silly for my hyperfixation now. Might ramble more about them later in your inbox if that's okay with you. Either way, thank you!

(Sorry for the late response Tumblr tried to eat the notif for this ask but it didn't get past me LMAO)

Also LOL You and Me anon we have the same tg experience (to be fair I Do plan to finish :re I've just been focusing more on school lately and I've had to put my fixation on the backburner :') )

BUT YEAHHHHH I'm so glad you decided to drop by, it's kind of heartwarming to think that even after almost a decade you'd return to this ship (like, even though I missed the majority of the fandom by Quite a Few Years there's still people out there that are insane for the same things I am :))) I just think that's kinda Cool ) Honestly when I first started this blog I myself felt super silly and embarrassed for my hyperfixation but since having such nice interactions from the fandom I've learned that I can simply ramble to my heart's content actually, which is super neat 👍👍👍

That said IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO RAMBLE ABOUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAASE DO THEY'RE SO INTERESTING TO ME AND I LOVE DISCUSSION AND I LOVE INTERACTION (and I love asks :)c) ((not to mention, with said "putting interests on the backburner" I haven't been having a lot of time for any Profound Amoneki Thoughts, so I'd love to hear yours <33)

[ask-killer-dubstep]

A thank you

It's been forever since I really posted much. I feel likes it's been a little over a year I would say? Maybe more? Least an actually post and not reblogs to show I still exist.

To really sum up why I'm missing so much is I used this place as a cope and escape from my real life. I'm doing a whole lot better, though busy working so that's ya... but life's better.

I got a fiance and a plan to move far away from my problems lmao. Might pick up a second job to help pay for it. Money's tight but life's still good.

I would like to apologize to those who I rp'd with and ended up flaking on them. I do get randomly busy often and forgot or I simply just didn't have the mental space to keep up. I'm honestly really sorry as I did really enjoy so many lost threads. And the friendships I've made on here truly do still matter to me.

So this is both a 'hey I'm alive and might come back once in a while to role-playing within my new boundaries' and also a thank you note.

So to these people I'm tagging, this is an update and thank you. (I do apologize for the random tag though but I hope you enjoy it <3)

@gathering-storm : you never needed an update since we text weekly...ish. But still thank you. You've known me for over a decade now and you've been such a good friend to me. I truly owe you my life.

@xanican-exile : thank you for saving my ass when I went to get my fiance and just being super cool dude. You're legit a fucking great friend even if we don't talk much.

@special-delivery-in-blue : sorry for the scare in this tag but you were also a great friend even if we haven't talked in a while. I always love sharing wiggle noodle videos with you.

@the-broken-monster : you were legit one of my first followers and role-playing friends. I genuinely wouldn't have had such an awesome time if it hadn't been for you. And it's been awesome seeing our lives go mostly up. We've had our downs lol.

@green-x-reaper : our first role play legit changed my entire writing life and made me feel so many good things. We may have never been super close friends but thank you for giving me that experience.

@themuseforest : it's been ages since we talked but you bothering to text back years ago made such a difference on how I thought about this site.

And to everyone else that sees this and talked/roleplayed/just interacted with posts. Thank you as well. There have been many ups and downs in the decade I've been on here and with the people I've known. But the ups always made me love this place more. So thank you for letting me have this space. If anyone wants to message me, you're more than welcome to. I still warn that I'm not always present on here but still. Thank you.

NAME: Mads

PRONOUNS: She/her

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?　Faye lol. Idk why I ever try RPing others. I'll be good for a while but I always come back to this idiot

◈　RP PET PEEVES?　I have a few but of course, I don't remember the majority now that I'm asked about it. But the main one is when I see someone complaining about not getting any interactions or anything and you and others have been liking starter/plot calls or sending memes over and over and nothing ever comes from it. In my own personal experience, the person crying about not getting interactions is only looking for it with a certain follower(s) but won't try and initiate the interaction. It's understandable if you legit are struggling for interactions and you get crickets but when it's clear people are trying to interact...man that grinds my gears. It's extremely inconsiderate and I usually bounce when I see that. Another thing is one-sided plotting/RPing. I usually always try and come up with a few ideas, even if they're basic or the usual trope because sometimes they turn into something exciting but this also depends on both people being open to trying to keep it moving. It's no fun when one person isn't giving anything to work with. Though, sometimes one person will have a good idea and can lead but again it needs some help from the other person. I have others I'm sure, but these are the two main ones. I like to think I'm pretty chill.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS　Close to 2 decades probably. I've been RPing since gaiaonline and AOL/Skype

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT　 All of it, I think there's a time and place for each. I do tend to prefer angst because I love character development and pushing characters to their breaking points and seeing them go beyond their limits or reacting in high-stress situations. I love it when they discover new things about themselves. Fluff is fun for shorter threads when you need something light hearted in between the angst lol. And then smut...well I'm so out of practice I refuse to even have it on my main blog lol. I don't need to embarrass myself. I think it's fine and fun but I do get tired of it if that's all there is. Again, I'm here for the character development.

PLOTS OR MEMES　 Either. I don't have a preference but I try and see what my partners prefer. Sometimes things work better when you plot things out so you have an idea to follow but sometimes, especially with new interactions its easier to just have a random meme. I also feel like sometimes it may take a few tries before you find the right thing that clicks for a good thread or character interaction.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES　 Depends on the day. Sometimes it's nice to have a shorter reply but I do admit sometimes they're hard for me to do because I want to make sure there's enough going on to keep a thread going. But sometimes the brain just doesn't want to work so longer threads, even if I'm super excited for it just don't happen.

TIME TO WRITE　Whenever I get the chance lol. Sometimes its easier in the morning because I haven't used all my brain power but its so rare I can even do so I take what I can get.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)　As far as Faye? Uhh...only a little bit lol. Mainly just her love of the ocean and space and the fact we're both red heads. But she's way more wild/reckless than I am and gives less fucks about what others think or say about her. She also is always looking for trouble to get into while I prefer to fly under the radar. My other muse I currently play on a different blog is also a level headed doctor so I guess with him we're both chill and love pineapple lmao. Even characters in the past I've only shared one or two things. I dunno, I deal with myself on the daily and would rather explore something different than myself. Obviously, I need some things to align so I can understand the character but eh.

K and F

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

I was tempted to say Savathûn, but post-TWQ her arc kinda flopped, died, and is in the process of being half-heartedly resuscitated. I think it's Eris, honestly! She's had a brilliantly-crafted arc spanning almost a decade, and while I have 99 problems with Season of the Witch, her story was without a doubt the best part of it.

Drifter is the runner-up, because I like where his character is at in terms of his narrative arc, it feels like we've got here... without any fanfare, I guess? Maybe because we haven't had a Drifter-centric season since Arrivals (say what you will, I'm counting Arrivals for the sheer amount of development it gave him), and whenever he shows up he's just a supporting character -- and that's fine! I loved him in Plunder and Deep! But all his dialogue is just cracking jokes or being weird, and all the 'development' happens in loretabs, which have been really poor imo. He feels like a shade of himself in them, so uwu and cutesy. I want to see him kill a man!! Gah, it seems like such a wasted opportunity, as of Kept Confidence he no longer wants to run from the system, which was where his whole character was leading in the first place, but uh last time I checked he'd still wanted to dip, so when... did this change happen... when did he face his fear of death and suffering and violence and watching others die and conquered it or at least figured staying was worth enough living with that fear... I feel like the depth to his character has been sacrificed on the drifteris altar, and it sucks because I love that ship precisely because both of them are life-weary, haunted individuals who could beat each other's demons into a bloody pulp, but instead we're getting some coffee shop au tier fluff eh

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

It's definitely The Sims, and oh, hard to say, because while I don't really interact with the fandom since I got into Destiny in 2020, it's been a formative enough experience to be branded on my soul forever lmao. If we're counting the "active" years, it would be over 12, and 16 all together, which is quite frankly insane.

Questions

[sapphire-weapon]

Did you see that Stephanie panisello said that she and Matt Mercer didn't even work together in DI?? LOL looks like the cl*on stans are outta luck. Ever since Leon x Ashley has been made 100% canon it looks like Capcom is finally gonna be sinking all those other ships and good riddance. After all these years thos cl*on shippers were SO sure they were gonn a be Leon's second canonical ship but NOPE! It was us! When Leon and Claire have zero real interactions in DI do you think they'll melt down as hard as a*on stans do?

dude what the fuck are you talking about LMAO

like there's so much going on in this ask idek where to start

i'm just gonna go down the list in order, i guess

like... so what's the implication here? that because steph and matt weren't in the sound booth at the same time, leon and claire don't interact in DI? when we've already seen them on screen together in the same scenes? because i'm pretty sure that the CGI movies aren't mocapped by the english cast like the games are -- i'm pretty sure that they're mocapped in japan, and the english cast just provides the voice acting. so, like. yeah. a lot of the time, when you're doing voice work, you don't work with the other actors. it's entirely possible that your scene partner hasn't even recorded their lines yet, and you're just trying to act and react off of text you're reading in a script. that's why voice acting is so hard and why so many film actors struggle to make the transition from film to voice.

leon/ashley is not "100% canon" in the way that you're implying here. leon/ashley is canon in resident evil 4 remake and nothing else. i have said this repeatedly. don't expect capcom to commit to this ship. capcom does not commit to ships in RE. capcom won't even canonize valenfield, and you really think they're going to commit to leshley?? LMAO

even if leon/ashley was "100% canon" in that way, it would only be in the remake verse. death island is OG canon, which means that aeon is still the name of the game there. OG canon has done absolutely nothing to kill the canonicity of aeon, so we need to assume that that whole thing is still going on.

cleon has been dead canonically for a fucking decade, so i have no idea where this sentiment of "finally" is coming from, here. damnation fatally wounded it, RE6 twisted the knife and ripped the hole open further, and the ending of infinite darkness coup-de-grace'd it. anyone who honestly thought cleon was still somehow going to become canon after RE6 is an actual legitimate fucking lunatic. which leads me to my next point...

i haven't seen cleon fandom be insane since about the time of damnation's release -- so, very early 2010s. in fact, i have not met a single cleon fan since then who was operating under any sort of delusion about what the state of their ship was in terms of the canon. cleon fandom lost this war years and years ago, and they all know it.

like. bro, leave cleon fandom alone. they've suffered enough, and they're our friends, besides. i know that there's a decent number of my followers (who are also probably some of my anons) who ship cleon first but still enjoy what RE4make did and are supportive of our ship.

and i also kind of ship cleon, to a certain extent. i've been pretty vocal about this.

i mean, hell, i would even be willing to ship aeon if capcom was ever willing to put at least some thought behind the execution of it, as opposed to none at all.

i just constantly take a shit on aeon fandom because they're a bunch of joyless fucks who can't allow anyone else to have anything ever and always have to chime in on every little thing with some form of "okay but leon loves ada tho" or "don't forget aeon is canon." like, fuck off, dude. aeon fandom is in a constant state of "the best defense is a good offense" as though anyone on the fucking planet is actually trying to take the canonicity of their ship from them.

they're not. we're not. aeon won the OG timeline. they need to stop being such sore winners and trying to rub their victory in everyone else's faces and shout down people who are still trying to have fun with other things.

and they're also a bunch of media illiterate dumbasses who sit around dreaming of happily-ever-afters for leon and ada and come up with headcanons for babies and shit, when all that shit is directly antithetical to the nature of the ship so i don't understand why the fuck they even like the ship to begin with, but that's a separate point.

so like

yeah dude, you need to pull yourself the fuck out of the late aughts. the war is over. it's done. it's time to stop fighting.

[not-poignant]

Hi Pia,

If this is too personal feel free to ignore! I was inspired to ask this after looking over your stunning artwork.

I gather you practise (and are trained in?) animism and shamanism. I'll admit I don't know much about spirituality but I'm really interested! If you're comfortable, I'd love to hear about your journey. When did you discover these beliefs, how do they interact with your everyday life? Do you believe in other spirit realms? Have you had any particularly memorable spiritual experiences? Where in your writing can we see these influences?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions (I've really had to hold myself back lol), feel free to be selective in the ones you'd like to answer.

Hiya,

I don't really call it shamanism and haven't in a long word (it's a culturally appropriative term), I've been using functional or practical animism for a long time now. Maybe just under a decade!

I discovered these beliefs in childhood (some are familial). These days I practice Druidry through OBOD, the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and I'm in the Ovate grade and have been for a looooong ass time.

When did you discover these beliefs, how do they interact with your everyday life?

This could be a long essay, but I'll just say that my writing is my Bardic work, it influences how I connect to nature, people, how I think about the world, and how I think about connections within the world. So pretty profoundly.

Do you believe in other spirit realms?

Sort of. I have a very kind of...relaxed view that goes like this: Maybe it's real, maybe it's not. Science is cool. If it's not real, it's an awesome series of visualisations and beliefs that makes my life better. If it is real, it's an awesome series of experiences that makes my life better. The moment it stops doing that, I'll walk away.

Like, I'm pretty zen about it. So many people are like 'but how do you know it's REAL' - I don't! I don't base it on whether or not it's empirically provable because the benefits are empirically demonstrable whether or not it's real and that's all that matters to me.

It benefits me, my loved ones, and my life. So...that's all the 'real' I need. I'm not interested in convincing anyone else of my beliefs and I'm very anti-proselytisation and preaching. People can believe what they want unless/until it threatens my existence re: people being transphobic / homophobic etc.

Have you had any particularly memorable spiritual experiences?

I have! But this isn't the place where I talk about them, lol. I used to very actively blog about my spiritual experiences (and actually used to run classes and educate folks) over at Dreamwidth and Livejournal.

Where in your writing can we see these influences?

I mean I wrote an entire 1 million+ word series about the fae realm that goes into great detail about how there's no such thing as pure good or pure evil (with a few exceptions one of those being Seelie lmao) and mostly everyone is shades of grey and is capable of growth and connection with nature is healing, in a story where animism is everywhere and gods are literally present in the land.

...And you know in every single section where nature is healing in every single one of my stories sdfalkfjsad

Also probably in a lot of the kinds of hero journeys I write.

My spirituality is everywhere, but it's also not an invasive spirituality where I'm trying to convert anyone. I believe in the importance of nature and our connection to it, so I write about the importance of nature and our connection to it. I believe certain experiences in nature can be healing, so I write my characters sometimes having those experiences in nature.

Most of my characters go through a 'oh nature exists and is...kind of cool actually' moment in their healing process to signify how far they've come, and I use that as a metaphor all the time.

I don't want it to feel religious. It's just like, hey, here's a thing. And since we all live in a world with some nature in it, maybe it's okay to have some nature in stories too, as a treat.

That's spiritually significant to me, it doesn't have to mean anything to anyone else.

But it does mean my spirituality and belief in animism is everywhere. It's something I live. It's mostly a very relaxed thing, and I think it's really just something you notice when I'm like 'oh look the clouds are really cool' and then I take a photo fdsalkjfsa

PRONOUNS : She/Her or ( more recently ) They/Them! Either one works because i do not care in the slightest

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : discord! I'm usually lurking on discord a lot so like... discord is my go-to for ooc communication. ( it's princemorsh c: ). it might say "do not disturb" but it's not really "do not disturb". i'm just... very low energy and have the social battery of a goldfish

MOST ACTIVE MUSE : Mikah. No question, no debate--it's Mikah. They were the first muse I had on this blog and I will forever put Mikah first because i love them so much. more oft than not, if I don't know just who to throw at someone spontaneously, I'll throw Mikah because they're the easiest for me to just.... put somewhere. Dakota, Evan, and Wynn come up behind them a lot, though, and right now Dakota has me in a chokehold

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS : i fucked around on deviantart with friends when i was in middle school but like... i don't count that. so lets just skip forward to the middle of high school and say that i've been rping since i was like 15-16 ish? i'm 27 now so like. about a decade.

BEST EXPERIENCE : tumblr for sure. maybe not when i was like... in high school, but after i entered college, i really began to enjoy it. i've had mikah + them since.... 2016/2017ish i think? and I'm fully convinced that this blog has been my best experience overall. i also got to meet @soulsxng and @feraecor through it ;w; and i'm fully convinced that if not for those two, my experience here would've been so fundamentally different and i have such a hard time visualizing that now lmao. they've introduced me to wonderful people who, again, I think i would have a fundamentally different experience without them being there and i'm really grateful for that 🍏💚 that isn't to say that i haven't met ( and would fucking fight for ) people outside of that but like.... i think i would not have had as much of a motivation to continue writing if i didn't have these two to throw shit at early on again and again and again.

RP PET PEEVE : *does a dumb lil shimmy* i feel like a broken record with this particular peeve BUT like...okay--i enjoy shipping a lot. i love relationships and i love being silly with them and talking about them and reblogging shippy aesthetics and quotes. if you know me, you know that i love me a good fucking ship and i will think about it until the end of time. however, everything takes time. yes, they could end up together but it's not like there isn't a whole alphabet of things between when they meet and when they end up together. I don't want to rush or side step those conversations or interactions ( or ooc discussions about them ) for fluff, even if I too enjoy fluff, smooches, genuine romanticism, n.sfw content a lot.

and if my muse just... happens to not like yours the way we thought they would, that's okay. it doesn't mean that... anyone should pivot ( and i do mean pivot ) to a muse that is more agreeable or "nicer" in terms of... getting a ship. yeah we can stop throwing those two muses together but that doesn't immediately open me up to...making the other two kiss or fuck or say they're dating. esp when you ( not muse, mun ) are very obvious about the other muse being nicer and therefore "you want that one instead". or start getting weirdly pushy to "make it work" with the first muse because they'd be good together. or disregard the boundaries i've set with my muses and have clearly stated in my rules and ooc.

i make jokes and i laugh now about those experiences -- esp because it's happened more than twice. and i don't think anyone's, like... fucking evil for it or i that hate them over it. i just think it was some bullshit because it's the simplest "respect this basic boundary i've set and if you do, i will die for our little blorbos and ship anything with you." it's not a call for anyone to prove anything to me and it's not like... i'm expecting anyone to just turn off any thoughts of shipping my muses and theirs ( because i sure as shit don't ). no, no--i'm just saying it'll take a bit to be actionable and feel right for me to write my muses with said feelings in this way. i'm slow enough as is, just give me time.

PLOTS OR MEMES : both! i like memes for when my emotional battery is like. in the toilet but i want to write something. i fucking adore plotted things, though, and i think that some memes can lead into some plotted adventures! we don't gotta plot everything out, either. we can just throw our goblins against the wall and see where they stick--it's fine with me. sometimes, we can map out their entire lives and still not be able to cover everything that they're going to do.

i think it really depends. i definitely don't think the two are mutually exclusive and like... you can use one to contribute to the other.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : i like to write a lot so i'll err on the side of long threads. it takes a bit to find my groove and.... figure out what I want to say but often times, i find myself deleting things from my replies because they are a little too long and i don't want to make anyone feel like i'm dumping multiple paragraphs on them.

if it's a plotted thread or ask, though, you're getting a fucking novel and i'm not compromising on that :)

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES : for the most part, no. there are bits and pieces of my persona or things i would say/wear/do here and there.... but as a whole, i'm pretty different from my muses. i... don't think people would like me much if i was like any of my muses fr, though, so i'm good with just being me, myself, and I

i stole this from @distopea some time ago so steal it from me

2, 17, 25

Will be answering these as M*A*S*H since that's mostly the accounts I've been interacting with! I hope that's okay :)

2. "a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom"

Okay okay as much as I agree w people that Hawkeye has bottom energy, my favourite character is Father Mulcahy and my favourite ship is Hawkcahy... and I CANNOT see Mulcahy ever topping. Like He might bottom from the top but he would never fully top, y'know? In every ship I've entertained or heard mentioned with him, he's always the bottom. Hell, even if he had've gone to bed with that one nurse (Gail, I think?), I'm sure she would've topped. She had top energy. And Mulcahy just... doesn't. He's mostly quiet and sweet and gentle (usually), and also even if he had some experience before he was ordained, it's been like a decade at least since he's gotten laid. He's inexperienced and shy and as much as I think he does have a bit of a wild-side to hip, I can't see it manifesting as him topping. Being a brat? Maybe. Idk how much of a compelling argument this is but whatever. Also I'm not even 100% convinced by my own argument bc I'd love to see him as a gentle dom or actually getting riled up enough to top but I never said that

17. "there should be more of this type of fic/art"

Full disclosure I am an angst reader and writer predominantly and cope via projecting onto my faves, so yeah, I wanna see more angsty stories and artwork. I know MASH started as a comedy but my god that show made me laugh and cry in the same episodes half the time and the characters deserve some comfort. And you know who I want to see have some comfort? Klinger!

Unpopular choice? Idk, maybe. But I feel like that man has so many feelings that he just doesn't show. Like the period of adjustment episode broke my heart because he was trying his absolute best and everyone was treating him horribly and I just wanted to hug him. IK we got to see him chatting with Potter when he was plastered but I mean outside of that. Give me some Charles and Klinger hurt/comfort. Or Kellye and Klinger! Or Margaret!

Speaking of Margaret, I'd love to see more fics/art of her interacting with Radar. The scene where she's reading a letter to him when he's injured was so heartwarming and I feel like she saw him as a son or at last a little brother by the end and I'd love to see some more content of them, but esp hurt/comfort.

Also want to see some more hurt/comfort with Mulcahy. Like in the show he has a few moments where he goes to Hawkeye and I think once with Potter but its almost always him being the counsellor by proxy to the whole camp and on top of everything he deals with for himself he has to del with everybody else too and as someone who has a job that makes me be the therapist by proxy, its so draining. He's probably touch starved too so like... someone give that man a hug. Please.

Oh, and more Igor. Just... more Igor in general. He was funny, I always liked him.

25. "common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing"

I don't know if I have one... Maybe that's because the fandom is small or because I haven't been around here for very long, but I don't really have any complaints thus far. Everyone has been so nice!

Thanks for sending this ask!! Sorry it took me a while, I've been busy with commissions and such. And also sorry that this turned into a rant lmao I hope you don't mind 😅 -Em

[quinngefail]

I don't have any colored photos of Mr. Charles Pace yet so THIS'LL HAVE TO DO but basically he's inexplicably in a similar situation as Jamie, having constant encounters with The Horrors. However, where Jamie has been dealing with this for nearly a decade and is absolutely over it, these things have just recently started happening to Charles- and it's like NEW DAY NEW HYPERVENTILATION !!

So the top image is the first drawings I did of him, second is a bunch of facial expressions that were for an assignment, and the last two are from another assignment. I planned on making a comic with these two but then it ended up being too ambitious (what with also having to make and finish my animated short, Errands) and I instead did that comic with Dread that I posted the other day :)

Then some misc things about . I don't have too much yet since y’know, school took over my life and I haven't really gotten back into developing this series yet but!!

-He's obviously a very skittery, suffering man as of late, but I imagine he always had that sorta nervous air about him. And now he has even more of a reason to be a nervous wreck 😩

-The marks on his cheek and nose are pretty fresh :')

-He will willingly throw himself in the face of danger to save people since y’know THESE MONSTERS ARE AFTER ME, SAVE YOURSELF!! And that's where this little drawing came from LMAO

Jamie is just like. Bruh

This is unnecessary

-He genuinely doesn't understand how Jamie can be so nonchalant about this all. For a while he assumed this man must have some power or something I don't and Jamie was just ????? What are you on

-Another interaction I've imagined between him and Jamie is Charles being like When does all this ever end.....??? :^( And Jamie is just hA-

-All in all their relationship is generally sympathetic and no one's holding any animosity or anything. But there are definitely times where Jamie is just like Jesus Christ calm down it's gonna be okay

I'm eager to do more with him and get more development in >:P and maybe a fully colored drawing too THAT'D BE NICE-

[sapphiren]

@bloodymoonxvampire : Ship bias! At least one for each character! Or as many as you'd like, anyhow. xoxo

I'm gonna assume you mean one of each of my Enstars muses, because if it was for each of my muses we'd be here all night and you'd be killing me lmao

Anywaaaay let's see. Imma try to talk about not so popular ships for each because I do enjoy their more popular ships a lot.

But we already run into trouble with Arashi because honeeestly none of my ships for her go that out there, but I guess the most out there is with HiMERU? It's not like they've interacted much in canon aside from the standard roommate interactions, but I do think they'd be able to support each other. They're both people that struggle with their identities, albeit for very different reasons— and Arashi seems like someone that would be more understanding than others when she were to find out about HiMERU's secret.

Koga! Baby Koga! Again, haven't had the opportunity to explore much out there, but I suppose Jun, as they haven't interacted in canon at all— there was one time they almost did but Koga was out of his dorm so Jun got greeted by Tatsumi. They seem like they'd really bond over their love for their dogs. Just this awkward teenage romance with way too much excitement once they get going.

Makoto's actually an easy one— Because Kat made me ship him with Mika! Their little gacha story (Decadance) has Makoto supporting Mika every step of the way as he starts his journey as an actor, because Makoto himself knows what it's like to be in Mika's shoes. I just think they'd be such a sweet couple.

Rinne... I don't know if any Rinne ship is too out there because of the way he is lmao. But I suppose since I'm answering you, I'll go with Rinne and Rei. Though they barely interact directly in canon, the whole similarity of Rinne and ore!Rei can't be ignored. I'm sure Rei sees his past self a bit when he looks at Rinne, buuut he helps people in a different way. Instead of being that reliable senpai that everyone comes to when in trouble, Rinne is the guy that everyone dreads because he helps others by making himself the one to take the blame. And of course, the idea of those two going out drinking together lives in my mind rent free.

Wataru and Nagisa! Two long haired babes with different ways of living. Wataru is a free soul, doing whatever he pleases, while Nagisa is used to being directed on what to do. They could both benefit from each other's point of view— and oh, poor Ibara having to deal with Nagisa rebelling. Wataru, on the other hand, would learn to be a biiit more grounded.

Send ‘Ship Bias’ and I will share up to 5 Ships I have a bias for for my muse! // open.

[amor-immortalem]

Nice I'm looking forward to it. I'm very excited. I love the reading experience in ao3 but I enjoy seeing it first here on tumblr. It feels special. Also, when I said surveillance, I kinda meant more magically. Since the obey me world is magical I thought there might be spells or even the use of familiars. Satan loves cats and I'm sure now that he has his own family, there are probably many around him. I know the cats aren't his familiars but in many fantasy stories and even in real life it's believed witches can use them like familiars/surveillance. Or even going to Barbatos which then there wouldn't be a story if it was so easy but he has options? Solomon as well unless he's not part of your universe 🤣 Or even his brothers familiars might be able to gather the intelligence from afar. Heck even the lazy cow and his dream powers can probably help. I don't expect it to be that easy to gather evidence because the step mom is a witch so she's probably familiar with a lot and idk how powerful she is, but he has many options that he can turn to and then make a decision on his own accord. Also, you mentioned him coming up with ideas with his nieces but if they already know how bad she is how come he doesn't believe them/needs evidence? Unless they haven't witnessed it themselves but heard it from Meli? I hope before the reconciliation there's some delicious angst. Meli will forgive him but I hope there's a lot of tension and angst before the conversation. Some angry Meli scenes maybe even moving away from him for a while. The amount of petty and resentment in me is just diabolical 😈🫣 I love it when the brothers suffer for my(our) entertainment lmao. Also, sorry for the long rant. You don't have to answer my silly questions if it's gonna spoil the story so I'm very curious. I hope there's some answers within the story. It is kinda sad that your next gen/ general next gen fics aren't that popular. There's so much creative freedom especially for those of us with daddy issues so we can project onto them 🤣

Huh… you know for as long as I’ve been thinking about this plot line I’ve never once thought of magical surveillance or familiars being used. (My brain’s kinda smooth can you tell?) Thanks for bringing that up because that’s such a simple resolution to the issue!

And after reading your ask I just realized that I never really clarified that step mom is a demon not a witch. Sorry if I led you to believe otherwise. (Now I lowkey wish she was a witch cuz that’d actually be an interesting dynamic for how she’d interact with Mammon and his side of the family if she and Satan were to attend a family get together, due to the situation with Cyrus and Mammon’s just general aversion/dislike of witches. Idk maybe the next partner will be a witch)

Solomon is a part of the universe but just not all the time. He’s off doing whatever it is that Solomon does and only reappears when I need him for something regarding Zulima and Asmo or I’m writing about something big happening in the magical world that Arella might seek counsel in him for.

I wish people were interested more in next gen stuff too but I think that’s more of an issue with all anime fandoms in general now. (I feel like it was like a decade ago that you couldn’t turn around without somebody having a next gen oc for any fandom really and now it’s not so much like that any more… oh how the times have changed…)

[im-captain-basch]

I may have listened to my brain on this one.

I may play around with the idea, but won't go as hard into it as the other two AUs I've been working on, at least not until more progress on them have been made. That being said, here's some thoughts on a DKC Tower of Terror AU:

Combines aspects from the ride Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror and the made for TV movie from 1997, with a little bit of the more original-story version of the ride from Tokyo DisneySea thrown in for ~flavor~.

Dixie and Diddy are wearing the masks because of all the dust and whatnot so as to prevent themselves from getting sick or worse.

Hotel that was abandoned suddenly following the disappearance of a group of people in an elevator that is also potentially haunted by those same people? Sounds like grounds ripe for urban exploration and amateur ghost hunting.

The hotel, as it currently stands, is owned by Cranky and NOT opened for visitors in any form. For years, no one knew for sure why he fought the city when they'd send notices for it to be torn down.

Diddy and Dixie take the opportunity to explore it after finding themselves in trouble multiple times for splitting off from tour guides of other supposedly haunted and abandoned locations to do their own exploring. Can't get in trouble if you use your connections to the guy who owns it to avoid trespassing laws.

(You absolutely can. DK makes sure of it.)

They find evidence of the ghosts, but don't believe who it could be until they run into people who either worked or stayed there during the hotel's heyday and realize they may have bitten off more than they could chew.

Swanky and Candy are the two adult celebrities who disappeared in the elevator. They weren't a couple, rather they were very good friends. Kiddy was the child star, who often worked alongside them. Due to their frequent performances with one another, the three formed something of a found family.

Swanky is bitter and angry about the incident, but ultimately harmless. Candy spends her time wandering the hotel's corridors, fantasizing about it still being lively and trying to pretend their group isn't stuck in limbo. Kiddy doesn't understand what happened, nor why anyone who's entered the building over the years seems terrified when he makes his presence known.

(I haven't any idea on who takes the nanny and bellhop roles, lmao.)

All three of the ghosts get slightly happy when mortals intrude into what is essentially their spiritual tomb because it means a break in their isolation, but grow resentful and fall deeper into their own antics the second they scare them away.

Dixie wants to help them, but isn't sure how to go about it. Diddy isn't so certain it's a good idea, but goes along with it while also unintentionally roping DK as well as Dixie's sister Tiny into the mix.

Cranky, who as it turns out used to work in the hotel, tells them what he remembers about what happened that night in 1939 and that it was him finding the ghosts in the early '40s that prompted him to buy the hotel and refuse to let it be torn down, popping in every so often himself so its inhabitants can have at least one interaction with a living being without that person leaving at least slightly traumatized.

(Their interactions didn't always end this way, he's just gotten used to them being ghosts in the decades since their first encounter.)

Together, the group of five attempts to form a plan to figure out what caused the lightning to strike the elevator and trap the five souls who were onboard at the time within the hotel's walls, ultimately aiming to allow them to finally move on.

[alanshee-keeper-of-realms]

I'm glad you liked it I am a disabled individual myself so Cyrus is very important to me it's how I know how to write the disability aspects I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and I've already had experiences not with being undersold but people just glaring at me or otherwise unfortunately, and I am an artist by trade I write and draw scenes if I'm motivated enough

(From another AU I was working on called The Emperor and Empress of Ice a more historical S11 AU based on Imperial China, this is Pixal as the Empress of Ice in Semi Formal Attire out for a walk. I based her appearance upon actual Chinese historical dramas)

And something you didnt catch because its a blink and you miss it moment that other character Citrine, that is Skylar's mother, I believe she was a Kabuki and one thus kidnapped by Chen. Cyrus to me tried to find her when she went missing, but at the time unfortunately he just didn't have the power or connections to really dig deep and find her.

I have a whole lore section on Cyrus alone a lot of it incorporated into this fanfiction eventually this Pixal would become an original character I have actual art for Violet Borg, shes the First Pixal created on a laptop by a 15 year old Cyrus

Pixal 1.0 aka Violet Borg Art by Me

I have even begun a cosplay of her haha it's definitely very early stages I don't have the makeup or the correct outfit yet but I've cosplayed her

( by the way if you do have a tick tock and want to follow me it's, that_disabled_cosplayer pic of me cosplaying Pixal as the card)

People really haven't shown any interest with the Borg Siblings even though they are actually very important to my writings especially regarding Cyrus. Been posting for a long time and again no interest,

I have a lot of determination but I haven't been able to hit anything unfortunately, I've been doing it for years and I don't know what happened but slowly my numbers dropped until nowadays I only get about 5 to 6 notes and about 90% of them are likes and it doesn't help me at all @kerriloyal thank you by the way for re-blogging my stuff that is how one gets things out there on this site. I see and appreciate you I appreciate everybody who notices my stuff who reblogs and interacts with it.

I post a lot on here and again I don't know what happened but it seems like everybody forgot I'm still here. I've been here since 2014 so I'm not exactly new in fact I'm one of the few veterans running around still on Tumblr because I adamantly refuse to switch over to Twitter like the stubborn hard head I am lmao

As for the Clifford thing as crazy as it is and most likely not going to happen I believe Clifford and Cyrus are half Brothers same mother different father and there is a whole lore story I could go into I have a huge giant web just for Cyrus I could rant about that man all day that I have created over literal years close to a decade I have spent building Cyrus Borgs lore and story and everything after the writers really showed that they're not going to do anything with him other than bring him on occasionally as a minor character.

I do have a AO3 if anyone wants to check it out here

Just please be careful. I do have 18 plus stuff on here please be mindful of the rating and also of the tags but this is where you can find a lot of my writings,

I'm very very happy you enjoyed it and it motivates me to continue on with the second chapter guaranteed I will probably be posting this soon after I polish It Off I'm really really glad you liked it

I just keep trucking away hoping someday my page might spring back to life with something I post like today!

What Could Have Been A Cyrus and Zane AU

This is an au I am working on what if Cyrus and Zane had met when they were both young after all Zane is much older than the rest of the group what if Dr Julian passed before he could wipe Zanes memory leaving Zane on a completely different path to his canonical self

In this world Zane Julian upon discovering his father's passing buried him and realized he needed to now take care of himself so he went out and search for work and wasn't really finding anything until he helped a man deliver arcade cabinets to the local repair shop running into Cyrus Borg who was 20 years of age and just had opened Borg Industries Arcade Repair in the year 1995 before even a majority of the Ninja were born.

He first started out working for Cyrus and then it just developed into more, a relationship between the two developed, a lot of the details will be explained in this AU but just know that Pixane would be really weird in this World after all Zane Julian-Borg is her creator alongside Cyrus Julian-Borg along with her 15 other siblings.

Samuel was too excited upon seeing the other man again. It had been so long that he couldn’t he himself but to run over a give him a kiss on the cheek  “My goodness, it’s about time I see you again!” he  said happily
