as much as i dream of a perfect sciencesaru reboot of xxxholic (as long as they don't get too crazy w hima, I saw early devilman crybaby) i do think that ppl should stop avoiding janky 2000s low budget-looking anime for its looks cause 1. half my favourite shows are this and 2. it's funny. you all love goofy frames of your favs for funny memes and sillies right??? you all love a silly little joke right??? what if i told you there's EXCELLENT AND BEAUTIFUL AND AESTHETIC CHARACTERS with EXCELLENT WRITING and ARCS and you get to enjoy them both as really cool pretty fashion models AND as goofy silly fucking react images

Thinking about Inumaki Toge being insecure about his speech (or the lack of thereof).

I feel like if he could trade a year of his life for sixty seconds without his cursed speech, he would. Without second thought. And specially because of you.

He's had a crush on you for a while (ever since your first encounter), but he'd never admit it. Not because he's scared of rejection, but because he's scared you'll reciprocate his feelings. Because he thinks you deserve better. Actually, scratch that: he knows you deserve better. You deserve someone so much better than him.

"And then you won't believe what he said! He said: 'I can't date you, cause I'm actually your brother!'"

"No way! That's the plot of the movie? How shitty!"

You deserve someone like Yuta. Someone who can make you laugh with their own words, someone who you don't need to strugle to understand what they're saying. Right now, you and Okkotsu are talking about some bad movie he watched. And you're laughing so hard and your laugh is so pretty it makes him wanna laugh too. He wants to engage on the conversation. He wants to say: "That's one of the worst plots I've ever seen! I can take you to the movies to see a real good movie if you'd like to"

But he can't. He can't, but Yuta can. He should let you go so you can be with someone who deserves you. He has no right to be this selfish, making you a slave of a love without any words of affection.

It feels like everytime he looks at you, there's a nagging voice in the back of his head, painfully reminding him that he can't be with you, and there's nothing he can do about it. It's an impossible love.

Hell, even Panda is making him feel envious and jealous. Even though he's literally a panda, at least he can talk to you. Sing your favorites songs with you. And he can't. At least not without cursing someone (and, God forbid, maybe even you. You're the last person he wants to harm)

He wanted you to confide in him just like how you confide in Maki. You always tell her everything. He wishes he, too, could be a source of relief. A shoulder you can rely on. But he can't. He can't, cause the best he could say in that situation is "Salmon", "Caviar" and other stupid onigiri ingredients that have nothing to do with the actual topic of the conversation. Honestly, he would be tired of himself if he was his friend. You don't have the obligation to understand his dialogue. Nobody does.

So, he comes to the conclusion that he should just avoid you. He should give up on loving you, because he doesn't want you to suffer.

"Toge, please! We haven't talked in days! Why did you suddenly stop talking to me?"

He stays silent. That's the only thing he can do, after all. He can't speak. He can't. But he wishes he could. He wishes he could tell you everything that's going through his head, tell you about how he feels like dying when he sees you playing a game with Itadori and Nobara because he knows he'll never be capable of doing that with you normally. If he speaks now, everything that'll come out of his mouth are foods. Speaking now would only remind him about the drift that exists between you both (and there's two options to avoid anyone's fall: you either close the gap or you widen it. He chose the latter)

"..."

"Inumaki, talk to me" (how sad. You want him to do exactly the only thing he can't do. That just makes him remember that he'll never be enough for you. Never)

Also, wow. You're using his last name. He got in a really bad situation, huh? How will he get out of this? How will he stop your (and also his) suffering?

There's only one way. And even though he swore that he'd never use his spell against you, he finds himself lowering his scarf with trembling hands.

"Leave. And don't look back."

~A/N: This is the fic I wrote that I mentioned on my last post!! I know a lot of people have writen abt this b4, so this is inspired by other stories I've read (if you've written something like this and want me to credit you, feel free to send me an ask!!). IT JUST FITS INUMAKI CHARACTER SO MUCHHH!! Like, I can totally imagine him being insecure about not being able to speak. I just thought I should give it a try cause I CAN'T FIND INUMAKI STUFF, so I took matters into my own hands. I don't realy like this, but I thought it would be a waste to not post it anyway

so hold my hand (consign me not to darkness) [1/4]

Ah, yes. The fic that made me realise I’m in desperate need of Cursed Spirit Gojou in my ever-growing favourite GoYuu tropes.

Content Warning!

Major Character Death. Other characters are disrespectful to the corpse.

I highly suggest you read the fic first, or just the fic, since I don’t think I was properly able to adapt it into drawings. While I managed to use roughly two weeks of on-and-off planning, researching, and storyboarding, I only had a full week to finish it. You can read more of my thoughts below the comic if you’re curious.

Title: so hold my hand (consign me not to darkness)

Author: qalb_al_louz

It’s ongoing, and as of this drawing, the fic is in its third chapter. While this is (sexually) SFW, always be mindful of the tags! Please keep yourself safe and sound.

Please read from right to left, and enjoy!

You can only upload 30 images in one post, huh Damn, I gotta divide it into parts

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Alrighty, I'll put my watered down unhinged thoughts below. No extra drawings down there if you're curious haha (unless you want to see the storyboard and the characters' full body character sheet, lemme know). You can skip the stuff underneath the Keep Reading for all parts.

This fic had me grinning from ear to ear every time I read this. The atmosphere, how it goes from POV to POV—of pure fear and panic—and the peak excitement I got when Yuuji properly meets Gojou, like brooooo 😭

Gosh I cannot emphasise how much I love this fic. I’ve always been wanting to make a whole comic out of it, especially since it was 2 chapters and it doesn’t look like the author will update it, but it just… kind of forgotten ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

But then the author posted a new chapter and I told myself this is a sign I should really start.

also goddamn I was so naive to think I can tackle 2 chapters as comic—no I was in fact cannot

The moment I laid my eyes on the first paragraph, things were portrayed very vividly in my mind. The panel, the angle, Gojou's head rolling down... I was like, hell yeah. Then I continued reading and I finally succumbed to my desire to draw this out.

At first I want to adapt this into a vertical format like those manhwas. However the longer I try to learn and storyboard it... I am simply not yet comfortable with it, especially for such a big project. Even the 1st storyboard starts vaguely vertical before the panels quickly crammed into that B4-B5 format lol. The first sketch estimated 69 (heh) pages for 90% of chapter 1. I said "no" for my own sanity and fully focused on the usual manga format and it was narrowed down to 60. Still a lot though, quantity and time-wise. So with a heavy heart, I can only do the majority of chapter 1 :”) I really really want to draw Sukuna talks back to Gojou—do you have any idea how good that scene was??? Gojou tried so hard to restrain himself, he’s so other I love him 😭

Due to the sheer length of this comic (I'm still in disbelief), I have limit lots of things, and that includes the drawing. If you've seen my other JJK fanarts, they are more rendered than this one. Well, this one is purely sketched with the help of the eraser to tidy up some lines. This is also the first fanart that I did purely on Photoshop, so I can control the typesets and drawings in one place. Usually, I use Photoshop for panels and typesetting and Krita for drawing.

I don't really like Photoshop's brush, but it did really well in curbing my perfectionist tendencies, so that's good.

It's also been quite a while since I draw in general (sobs) so... yeah, you might find differences, or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

I know setting is important, but maaan I genuinely won't miss rereading chapter 83-93 with a heavy focus on background and character locations. I just want to read the action and dialogue😭 However continuity is really important. But my spatial intelligence is almost non-existent even GPS sometimes can't help me. All I'm saying is that if you find some silly drawing mistakes, do forgive me ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿I only drew all this in a week because otherwise I won't have another chance to complete this.

Well, lots of things I won't miss from this project, but haha let's talk about the characters instead because holy shit what was I thinking, starting this year drawing this many characters in the same project??? I have never drawn anyone here except for Yuuji, Gojou, Nanami and Megumi. I don't think I've ever drawn older Getou before. I already forgot how to draw my boy Yuuji and I gotta draw all these people???

This is what you call making a bad decision, kids. Don't do your "drawing warmup" after months of not drawing and tackling a project of a scale way bigger than you've ever tackled before.

Thank you for reading this far! I hope you find my complaint entertaining! But make no mistake, I genuinely still love the fic. Drawing this, even with all the headaches it gave me, only makes me adore this fic even more.

Thank you very much to each one of you who follows and leaves comments and tags on my silly art—it never failed to make my day :D And I sincerely wish this one also made your day or even made your minute! I'll see you in the next part!

You undoubtedly didn't expect to find something while exploring Tatarasuna, only hoping for chests and extra loot in parts you've still yet to discover in Inazuma.

Upon opening the doors, you roamed the halls of the mysterious pavilion with your sword in hand and stayed alert for any enemies you might encounter. Coughing a little from the dust, you've just about finished your search and head back when you heard Paimon call your name.

"Eep!! There's someone here!" She squealed, then you heard a loud thud against the rickety wooden floor and another alarmed shout from Paimon.

Rushing toward her voice with a sense of urgency, the tip of your blade immediately aimed toward the neck of the unknown man in front of you, inches away from his skin.

What you didn't expect though was a... rather innocent-looking person at the end of your blade, and Paimon panicking at your threatening stance. "Ah! Did Paimon worry you!? Paimon was okay! He's no threat at all!!" She says, pushing your sword away.

And you complied without another thought, a small frown tugging on your lips as you looked down at the trembling person on the floor, frightened out of his wits when a sudden intruder appeared where he lived (you assumed) and pointed their weapon at him.

What he wore was rather odd for a place like this. His clothes were just as dusty as the room, big, vibrant purple eyes blinking up at yours with tears forming, glittering against the dim light in the room. He was small and looked frail, scared, and confused.

You honestly felt really bad, rubbing at the back of your neck with a sheepish smile and Paimon crossing her arms, pouting at your actions and for scaring the poor guy.

Paimon was quick to introduce you both to the mysterious person, then informed you that she saw him sleeping on the floor rather peacefully, then she shook him awake, leading him to shriek, which scared Paimon and fall down on the ground, which then caused all the commotion.

Taking the unnamed person (who turned out to be a doll after noticing the joints he tried his best to hide) outside of the old, abandoned pavilion, you respectfully kept your distance from him at first, keeping an eye on him while he tailed behind Paimon. You understand why he kept giving you nervous glances despite 'rescuing' him from the pavilion, you literally almost mistook him for an enemy and were seconds away from hurting him.

You quickly found out that he absolutely had no idea how to do anything, and was extremely overwhelmed at the changes that Inazuma has gone through over the years, especially when you told him after he's given you information that it has been over 500 years since he was last awake.

He grew even more afraid upon learning this fact. He tried to hide it from you, but you'd notice how his hands would shake as his eyes traveled around his surroundings, taking in the sight he hasn't seen in his years of slumber, as well as the fresh wound of his creator, his mother, leaving him to rot in that wretched pavilion.

But you proved to be a very reliable and helpful companion. You taught him many things and helped him catch on with modern society. You taught him how to cook, fish, clean anything, and how to fight (a bit, he's fairly weak and lacked the resolve to hurt anything).

You gave him books to read, and told him stories of your past adventures with your two missing siblings; you've literally become his guide in his life. The one who saved him from his eternal loneliness, the one who held out their hand to a pathetic, forgotten puppet like him and opened his eyes to the beauty of life, the beauty that resided in the mortal world.

That there was so much more behind the thin walls of that Pavilion he's been sleeping in. Fishes with multicolored scales, flora, and fauna he's never seen before, the many constellations you've pointed out in the skies when the sun begins its descent, and the people, though giving him warily and suspicious glances at first, welcomed him warmly when you, the traveler, introduced him to them as the Kabukimono.

Despite the acceptance among the villagers of the Kabukimono received, he stubbornly stayed by your side, pleading with you to not leave him and instead, let him help you look for your siblings that you've been desperately searching for. While you appreciated his offer, you had to decline with a teasing joke.

"I don't need another Paimon." You heard your flying companion gasp at that, crossing her arms and stomping on air. You thought that he'd take that joke lightly and hopefully return to the inn you both slept in, but he didn't relent, tugging your sleeves with determination blooming in his eyes.

"I can cook! Better than before!" He says, and you can agree with that. Over the past few days, he grew familiar with cooking with the help of the many humans who taught him how, and you. He was quick to pick up on the how-to's of cooking, and he seemed to have great perseverance to perfect dishes, especially yours and Paimon's favorites.

Paimon nodded at his statement, already being persuaded by his words and rubbing her small belly. "Paimon agrees! Maybe we should really bring him with us and be our cook!" She shook your shoulder, to which the Kabukimono smiled, agreeing to her suggestion.

You gave Paimon a disappointed, but unsurprised glare. "We are not making him into our chef." You firmly told them, crossing your arms and shaking your head disapprovingly. That seemed to make him falter, but he held on to your hand tightly. "I... I can help you when you're looting! Help you find chests, gather material and complete commissions-"

"What if you get hurt?" You finally asked, hardening your gaze. It quickly shut him up, and you could feel his hands tremble against yours again. One of the biggest reasons you didn't want to bring him along with you was because of his inability to fight like you. And while he can watch you along the sidelines with Paimon, unlike her, he was bigger, unable to fly, and more susceptible to attracting the wrong attention.

"I can protect myself-" Before he could finish those words, Paimon made a small noise of disagreement, and you unintentionally snorted. He huffed at that, glaring at the two of you. "Then teach me how to fight! I don't care if I get tired, bruises, or anything! I'll learn how to wield a weapon!"

You tried to stop him, to discourage him once again but his glare grew sharper. His eyes held fury, desperation, and fear. Fear of another abandonment, fear of walking through the unknown without you by his side... "You have no idea the lengths I'd go through just to be able to stay with you... So teach me! I'll be of use, I promise-"

You let a sigh slip from your lips, wrapping your arms around his smaller form. The puppet in your arms bit his bottom lip, holding back the tears threatening to fall as his arms tightly wrapped around your torso, gripping onto your clothing. It got more difficult for him not to cry when he felt Paimon on his back, joining in the hug.

"You won't be lonely with all the people here."

"But I want to be with you... and Paimon I suppose."

With a chuckle from you and an offended gasp from your flying friend, you couldn't help but give in to his desires. You didn't want to leave him either, even if you promised to visit him as much as you could. Because both of you know you can't. You're busy, and always getting dragged into Teyvat's problems, even if you were an outsider with the sole goal to reunite with your siblings.

So you did teach him how to fight. He still lacked the will to fight anything, opting to be your support in battles, but he gradually got better. He always cooked for the two of you, did the talking, and handled Paimon with a lot more care when you were busy doing something else.

It was nice to have another companion on your travels. It makes it less lonely in the vast lands of Teyvat, walking through the mysteries of the lush grounds of each nation, hand in hand.

Hiya~ (～￣▽￣)～Hope you can write this, but feel free to ignore if you want, also: I love your writing（づ￣3￣）づ╭❤️～

Is it possible to request Ichiro and Kuko(separately) with a fem! s/o who has cosplay as a secret hobby(she just too shy to talk about this and it's to improve her self-esteem)? And finding out she even does some naughty cosplays (✿◕‿◕✿)

alright, i hope i got the concept you wanted! i'm not too well versed in the dirtier side of cosplays so i hope this isn't too bad!!

Pretty Cosplays~

Kuko, Ichiro x fem!reader

-sfw & suggestive (warning b4 it starts!)

-ichiro likes cosplay and finds that it's pretty! i can so see him following multiple cosplayers on social media because they do cosplays of his favorite characters!

-he's very accepting of the whole thing and doesn't mind it at all! even if he doesn't know you do cosplay, he's likely seen a post or two of you if you post your cosplays online.

-probably pointed out a wig or outfit that he recognized from a show. you forgot to put it away so it was sitting in your room and that's how he found out.

-always asks to see your new cosplays and always says they look good on you. he's just full of compliments and love for you that he can't possible see anything wrong with how it might look on you. you're perfect in his eyes!!

-kuko on the other hand... he knows of cosplay but has never been as interested or known much about it since he doesn't play lots of video games or watch animes.

-he's very neutral about the whole thing and will say a cosplay looks good if you show him a picture while scrolling or ask what the character is from but that's about it.

-tbh, he doesn't even realize you're a cosplayer if you forget to put away one of the cosplays you were working on before he came over. he'll straight up ask about it but it'd be more of a "what's the occasion?" kind of thing rather than assuming it to be cosplay.

-if you tell him it's for a cosplay then he'll just look at it for a second, confused. he understands you do it but it's more of a confused why you hadn't told him about it.

-he will blatantly tell you when he thinks one looks good on you and you'll easily know which ones are his favorites as well. he doesn't try to hide it at all.

suggestive below~

-poor ichiro, the first time he saw you in a more sexy cosplay, his face turned all red. he wasn't expecting to open his texts and see you looking so pretty in a sexy outfit!

-even though he'd save all the cosplay photos you send him, he has a special folder for your more sexy ones that he wouldn't dare tell anyone about, even you.

-he's fully losing his mind if you're in front of him too. he's got enough self control to not take a picture but he is burning this image of you standing embarrassed in front of him in a sexy cosplay of one of his favorite characters.

-kuko can't believe that his girlfriend who was embarrassed to admit she cosplayed had sent him a picture of her in a sexy cosplay. he honestly can't believe you'd do something like this (he's kinda into it..)

-saves the picture and asks if you've got anymore. he's got no shame at all and thinks it's funny to embarrass and tease you like this. you're pushing limits when you decide to do something like this in front of him...

-he has a lot of self control but he just thinks it's amusing to see you get all red when he walks up and puts his hands on your waist with that stupid smirk of his.

Yuichi Usagi is [SURNAME] [given name]

lol I've written abt it before going into more specifics & making theories, but this post is just to clear it up again as a general ref for newer fans reading old or new posts abt it and finding themself confused... edit3(15.1): rightfully so! if you've ever watched more than 5 anime or just read some manga, you might recognize that Yuichi is most commonly a given name in Japan. Even viewers familiar with japanese would have made the same assumption. But the show itself uses it as a first name, so it becomes confusing. After jan 6th we found the behind-the-scenes lore for that too.

- clearest tell in the show itself that Usagi is his first name - his auntie calls him Usagi. What auntie calls their sole nephew or close family member by their family name? ... which would have to be her own family name then too...???

Secondly. He introduces himself as Usagi the more he's in the city. First as Yuichi Usagi, but then after a few chases, he gives up and introduces himself to Kitsune as "Usagi"in the 1st episode. boy wants to be known as Usagi haha.

edit 2 (8.1.2024): as of 6.01 we have official confirmation that this is fact + a little backstory! Yuichi is the boy's surname

the whole show, all the other characters use japanese naming convention - e.g. Gen introduces himself as Murakami Gennosuke to the Bat Squadron. it seems the other younger characters call each other by given name basis because they're either all around the same age or don't feel like using family names for each other. Often characters don't have family names because they're orphans (Chizu, Kitsune, Hana). Or it's the only name they go by in general (Tetsujin, Lady Fuwa).

it's that simple! you can headcanon whatever but at least know the show itself has named him this way.

I've already written about this b4 too but Yuichi can very rarely be a family name (apparently). there might be other reasons the show crew gave him Yuichi as a family name, but if that doesn't cut it, you can always adopt my theory that he has a rare two given names.

But yeah, the show makes it clear that Usagi is his first name. It's a spinoff based on Usagi Yojimbo and some of its stories and ideas, and made by fans of the comic and Stan's work. They decided to give him this name, for whatever reasons, and it's his name used in the show. There's too much much work in the show itself for them to give him a random name either, "just because they're ignorant" or even just bc they didn't research. They clearly did or the show wouldn't have some surprising elements to it as a spinoff or as a past+future combo of japanese aesthetics.

Him and the comics' original Usagi, Miyamoto Usagi can share a first name. I know it looks confusing coming from other shows where evryone has specific names. I know it's just generally confusing as a tmnt fan... but their names and tags can co-exist as-is. maybe i don't get out enough into other shows but I've never seen a fanbase stretch themselves so into a pretzel over characters sharing their first name. also Miyamoto Usagi is based on a famous historical samurai, more precisely - Miyamoto Musashi. His movie depiction was what inspired Stan Sakai in the 80s... ppl in real life share first and last names very often so it just doesn't bother me personally that they share one name, but not their family name. So I don't get anymore why ppl are upset that his name is a combo of two first names... I believe there's also a irl children's book author named Usagi Yuichi (maybe pseudonyms being animal names is more common in japan?idk) so I wonder if the crew knew about that 🤔

clearing this up again bc every time I see someone say smth about this show and it's some misunderstanding on top of a misconception, I just wanna make a simple chart to explain things lol. but i don't know if ppl would care even. I know ppl sorta dislike this show or don't care abt it anyways. but then... why talk about it? why share info like a fan who knows or cares about it... and then it's false info... so idk, if they're not a fan, don't take them at face value, but even if they're a fan, it's easy to share info without a source and have others think it's real. Be ready for info to change or your first impressions to break. I've mostly only theorised or drawn from the show itself so far, but even things I say might change if other evidence is provided. So... lol lets all just read into this show calmly I guess.

edit (7.1.2024): lol another thing to add that I didn't think about: there's a 1000 years between the generations of Miyamoto Usagi and Yuichi Usagi. so them not having the same surname would be considered quite normal (and so far, no evidence to conclusively say that M! Usagi is a grandpa... the scene between Usagi and his auntie in the evening in ep 1 also seems to allude that there are many generations between the og era and the future era and that Usagi's auntie is speaking of her own direct great grandfather and Miyamoto Usagi separately...

Anyway. That's all! Hope this is helpful to newer fans.

omg i am sending an ask bcz i think we have the same standpoint on this but i was on ao3 b4 tumblr so i was honestly rly confused when i was learning tumblr culture around here & saw how long fics & series’ weren’t popular/didn’t do as well on here than ao3 😭 i even actually disliked oneshots i never reached for them up until writing on here bcz i would always b like “IT’S NOT ENOUGHH” LOL i love the art of expanding on storylines :’) def no hate to people who do bcz ofc i’ve written the same & i love a good short fic to indulge in & rest my brain, but i agree w/ you long ones r my absolute favs & i cherish the people who write them on tumblr tons…sorry if this is js rambling lmfao but THIS IS JS ENCOURAGEMENT FROM ME TO YOU RYLIE i’ll always b around to read what you put out when i can bcz i know you’re in love w/ details & crafting stories :) <3 <3 & i’m def eyeing tht au if it’s sfw !! I’D READ IT FS to hear 8.6k words makes me so excited 🙂‍↕️

OMG OKAY SAME. i've been using ao3 forever, and only came onto tumblr to read/write fics a couple years ago. but until that point i had only written multi-chap fics so... yeah 😭 a reality check, to say the least. it sucks bc there used to be a lottt more series on here when i first started a blog, and now there's ... not. which there's a lot of reasons why i think they're declining, but people not supporting writers is the main one :/

i much prefer them as well, i feel the exact same way as you!!! i loooove to get into a lengthy fic. and i understand why people tend to write one-shots more bc writing longer fics takes a lot of time, which many don't have, and this is a hobby. but, i feel like on ao3, i have never published something and been like ohh this will flop BECAUSE it's long. which is how i feel on here :(

ALSO YOU'RE SO SWEET <3 SOB :,,,) that means the world to me. hehe also you've probably seen me say it's a moulin rouge au, so more-so suggestive than explicit (it'll pretty much follow the movie). you are welcome to read it if you're comfortable <3 i'm also nervous bc ... its abt a character i have not posted about before HAHAH so it's always a little scary >< but thank you so much for the words of encouragement!! i'm very excited to read the rest of ur fyodor & dazai fic hehe, i adored the first part !! i love that it's so long <3

𝓢𝓽𝓪𝔂 𝓪 𝔀𝓱𝓲𝓵𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 : chp 1.

this is my first post so i cant guarantee that its completely proofread and neat. in this post, tighnari is paired with a fem reader. this is a series so there will be 'chapters'. enjoy.

warning: very wordy!! I used this post to establish the context of this series im working on.

you lived in liyue all of your life. although you were originally born in natlan, your family moved to liyue in search of a new life. filled with excitement, you and your family traveled to jueyun karst regularly. as a young girl, you took note of the fields of green that bordered the mighty home of the saviors of liyue. you made it your life's mission to travel to those fields of green when you got older.

finally, the day came. you were an adult! (woah) after celebrating with family, you break the news that ur traveling to sumeru in search of adventure. it took your parents aback but after some convincing and tears, they agree to help you. the next day after your bday, you prepare your travel bag and sword with you. you were a wielder of a pyro vision anyway.

after saying goodbye to ur family, you set off into the chasmussy and finally make ur way down to cinnabar cliff. after asking some unfriendly treasure hoarders, you find the tunnel of dreams: the path to sumeru. you cross it and are instantly enamored with fields of grass and flowers.

as you told ur mother, you would check-in with your fontaine-made 'telephone' once u got to sumeru. lucky for u, ur mom was good friends with alice. so, she stuffed ur bag with a teyvat travel guide and some books that distinguish between various sumerian plants.

annoyingly, you throw it out and continue pressing onwards. unbeknownst to you, a fox-eared forest watcher saw you blatantly liter while he was on his lunch break. he picks up the book and approaches you saying, "hey! who do you think you are dropping this book in the forest!" awkwardly, you look back and see a young man around your stature. though you've seen the conqueror of demons, youve never seen someone with such FLUFFY EARS! b4 u turned to face him, tighnari thought u were some simpleton that knew nothing more than to litter. he took a good look at you and changed his expression and tone. "ma'am, you dropped this." "pls be more considerate of the wildlife around u", he says. "you look down in shame and say, "im so sorry. i got tired and noticed that my mom packed me this book when i wasnt looking!" "in a fit of annoyance, i dropped it so once again, im sorry, "you clamor. "oh yeah, moms do that." "when i was a pup, my mom never let me leave the house without a map of the forest!" "i would tell her that i know where im going so there was no need to worry, "tighnari says in remembrance.

after some small talk and explaining your motives for traveling in the forest, tighnari takes you to camp where you meet collei.

"collei, y/n will be staying here with us. please give her some food and water while im gone, " he orders. "yes, master tighnari!", she eagerly says. tighnari then says, "and make sure you show her where the trash is." you awkwardly blush out of embarrassment when he tells you he'll be back to touch bases with you.

as he leaves, you feel light pain in ur heart. "where is he going???, "you think to urself. while collei is reading her introductory brochure, you begin to feel a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. after noticing that u arent paying attention, she awkwardly pats your shoulder and she directs you to the forest rangers' cafeteria. you get some food and sit next to her. to break the small talk, you ask collei y she called him "master". she then explains that tighnari is guiding her to become a forest watcher. after hearing his name, you continue to inquire about him. while collei thinks ur just curious about him, she explains that he studies botany and that he guides the forest rangers.

deviously, you take this as an opportunity to settle down in sumeru. u think to urself, "i should join this organization!!" the timing is perfect, you're new to sumeru and you can get an opportunity to get to know such a mysterious nerd.

nightfall arrives and you get a knock on ur hut door. hesitantly, you open and see tighnari. his toned shoulders on display as the night was rather humid. "hey, just stopping by. how was it today? did you get a tour of ghandarva ville?" tighnari says inquisitively. "no, we just settled down and got food." knowing well that poor collei gave u an in-depth tour.

"so about what you were saying earlier about adventure- i think you're a great fit for the forest watchers." he hands u an application paper and while handing it to you, your hands touch. nervously, you shut the door and say "good night, thanks!" you set the paper down and feel hundreds of crystaflies in ur stomach. "oh my... i'm falling for him" you think to yourself!"

you prepare for the next day as you get to know sumeru.

untitled project playlists masterpost part 1

by yours truly

spoilers ahead if you care (? you’ll probably forget about them by the time i actually write UP so there’s that. anyways

before the wall of text that will surely follow this, a note about how the playlists are organized:

the playlists are as follows (linked for your enjoyment):

untitled project

up: book 1

up: book 2 & 3

up: book 4

up: book 5

B1 B4 and B5 playlists have the same structure: vibe/mood songs for the particular book followed by the songs in chronological order as they relate to the plot (B1 only has plot songs)

B2 & 3 has literally just 2 songs about the respective plot

untitled project is a playlist that has the songs by character (ely, lyric and the first lost soul) and then some vibe/mood songs for the story as a whole

i’ll make 3 separate posts (you are on the first one, congrats!)

playlists for B1, 2&3

playlists for B4, 5

playlist for the vibes

so let’s go, shall we?

BOOK 1

book 1 is all about how ely went from being a trapped child to the eternal master of death itself. cover is the background of an ely drawing i did in 2021

Dream Girl - Idina Menzel

teen!ely’s angst as they feel more and more trapped in their village. the wolf they befriended as a child is getting hunted and the situation at home is not great (their parents want them to marry)

This treasure you found bury it The only way out marry it That shadow of doubt carry it Carry it down to your grave

sorrow aka the wolf is the treasure they found, and they carry their shadow (influence) wherever they go. they will indeed carry it to their grave.

Don't be sentimental Some legends are born in the wrong timе

literal line

Requiem - Laura Dreyfuss

so teen!ely dies trying to protect the wolf they befriended, only, they wake up. they are not dead or alive. a ghost maybe? they don’t know. they don’t want to mourn their life, they hated it, all of it. death has brought them freedom, life and their future in that village only had hell waiting for them

so they don’t mourn

and they forget

No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all

why should i say i’ll keep you with me? why should i go and fall apart for you?

they keep seeing a ghost of their past, when they were a child. and they hate them

The Calling - The Amazing Devil

forget all but one thing. something calls to them, like a memory. red eyes, ocean hair, a war and an underwater grave and, maybe, something else too

That light I thought was blinding brought me here

eternity and their newfound power are overwhelming to them at first, but they learn to follow where it leads them

I look into the waters and see a face I don’t recognise Who’s this (Who are you)

still don’t know who they are, or who they were

And when that fox howls I’ll howl with it In its cries I’ll find an end And when I think I’m fine you’ll visit And then you happen to me, you happen to me all over again

they keep being brought back to their past life, to their ghost, but they can’t recognize it

Dear Wormwood - The Oh Hellos

until they do. they remember. him, yes. and them, themselves. ely, their name, their life

I have always known you You have always been there in my mind But now I understand you

let’s ignore where it says “and i will not be a part of your designs”, but yeah understanding what sorrow really embodies, what eternity really is, is what they lacked before they could master it

I know who I am now And all that you've made of me I know who you are now And I name you my enemy

leaving the enemy part even if ely doesn’t resent sorrow for what they did. ely's ready to face eternity

Caesar - The Oh Hellos

ely finds sorrow. like the first time they met him. cold air, winter fading. they’ve already seen the war, and History. and him. the messiah.

“tell me how to save him.”

Peace - Shayfer James

but someone got left behind. the first lost soul. not a mindless monster, not a bloodthirsty ghost. just a scared and forgotten child. a piece of ely’s soul

I'd rather live alone than live a lie I will never deserve peace

the girl that hunts the narrative is here <3

BOOK 2 & 3

childhood and teens of hannah, akira and lyric. cover is my “god always lies” piece, with hannah holding a torch inside sorrow’s church (she wrote “god always lies” on the statue”)

Dear God - XTC

hannah’s song! her book is called God Always Lies, bold words for someone who has met god (technically). she’s a priestess that doesn’t believe in destiny, because their dreams are broken and so must destiny too.

And all the people that you made in your image Still believing that junk is true

pretty straightforward

That my heart's here upon my sleeve If there's one thing, I don't believe in It’s you Dear God

God’s Whisper - Raury

i’m just gonna:

I hear God's whisper Calling my name It's in the wind I am the savior

yeah a teen lyric song

so yeah, any questions are welcome and such

You ran your hands through your hair, sighing heavily as your mind fogged up. You flipped through a few files, rubbing your temples and rolling your shoulders back in an attempt to alleviate the unwelcomed stress and tension of the long hours of work. That and the unsettling anxiety of Spencer's case.

You knew today's mission was risky and you couldn't assist the job since you were given strict instructions by your doctor to avoid doing any heavy movement for a bit due to spraining your ankle a few weeks ago on the job. So for now, you were stuck with paperwork and not be able to check if your boyfriend was okay while chasing killers around.

You were not coping well to say the least. It was way past your job hours, and Spencer promised to pick you up by your office, so with only a few people left at headquarters, you were growing nervous with possibilities as to why he wasn't showing up. You stood up from your chair, wincing as your back had been in the same position for over three hours. You bit your nails in contemplation, before deciding on seeking out any information on the status of the team.

However, as you were halfway towards the door, the knob to your office twisted and in walked Morgan with Spencer trailing not far behind him. You let out a deep breath of relief you didn't even know you were holding, panic quickly vanishing, seeing him alive and well and—

—And wearing that goddamn vest again.

You had seen him with it on a few weeks ago and truthfully, it made your head spin. How it snugged his frame perfectly, accentuating his shoulder blades as he stood tall behind Morgan. He was wearing a light blue dressshirt below it and his sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, showing off his forearms in a way that left you spinning feverishly. His hair was slightly untamed, brown curls flowing across the bottom of his neck and forehead messily.

Your mouth opened slightly, words vanishing deep within your throat. You looked up, finally bringing yourself to clear your throat.

You walked over to the two of them, patting Morgan on the shoulder and pushing past him towards Spencer. You open your arms and you quickly fell into his, feeling as if a sudden pressure of air was alleviated from your body.

Your arms wrapped around his neck as his found their way around your waist. You breathed in the familiar smell of him, nuzzling your head deep into his neck as his arms tightened forcefully around you.

"Why the hell did you two take so long?" You pushed Spencer away, holding your hand on the firm surface of his chest that was decorated with that stupid FBI vest and scolding the two men with a glare.

The both of them shared a nervous look before Morgan took the fault, admitting lamely. "Flat tire on the way back..”

You groaned, huffing loudly as you pinched the skin between your eyebrows. Of all the reasons, that could've been the stupidest stress factor you've ever had to deal with when it came to these two.

"You could've called me and let me know—" You said, directing your piercing gaze towards Spencer. He realized that not only anger was stretched across your features, but also concern, which is when he felt truly bad for making you worry. But in an attempt to prevent you from getting mad at him, Spencer's hands snaked down swiftly, squeezing at your hips.

"We should've," He pressed a kiss to your temple. "We're sorry."

You rolled your eyes, grumbling lowly "You better be."

Derek clasped his hands together and lowered his shoulder. "Well, that's my cue before hot mama gets all riled up with me too.”

Spencer threw his hair back with a soft groan since he had told Derek not to call you that. You stifled a laugh while Spencer followed Derek's movements towards the door. "I told you not to—"

Morgan had already walked past the two of you, slamming the door to your office and cutting Spencer off. "—call her that."

Spencer glared at the door, hands still on your hips, unconsciously hooking them into the belt loops of your pants. You took a moment to admire him and the way his jaw was clenched, enhancing the sharp shape of it. Your eyes trailed across the bridge of his nose, to the soft narrow of his light eyes, all the way to the barely present purse of his lips. You felt a familiar heat pool in the bottom of your stomach.

It was the stupid vest. Ever since you saw him in it the first time it was impossible to control yourself and to detain yourself from ogling at him.

You reached up, gripping his chin steadily and directing his face towards your own. He followed, allowing you to guide him back to you and did not complain when you pushed your lips onto his own, humming in content.

He sank into your body, pulling you in by the hoops of your pants so that he could feel your body flush against his. As your hands moved down towards his torso, gripping at the sides of his vest firmly, his hands came up to cup your cheeks. He pulled away, hovering over your lips and speaking to you between kisses. "I missed you.."

He pulled away entirely, smiling at you. All you could focus on was how fucking good he looked. Your hands began to tremble with the desperate, almost incontrollable need to pull him in and feel him.

"So did I.." You leaned in, pecking the corner of his lips and then trailing kisses all the way from his cheek, to his jaw, and finally burying your face into his neck, softly nipping at all the familiar places you knew could have him undone in seconds. His hands gave your hips a warning squeeze, which you aimlessly ignored.

"Spence," You mumbled, pulling away and looking up at him.

"Hmm?" He hummed absentmindedly, dazed enough to only focusing on your lips.

"You're wearing that vest," You continued, almost in a warning, hovering over his lips and pecking them softly. He pulled back, furrowing his brows with confusion. When he noticed the familiar darkness in your eyes, realization finally dawned over him.

"Yeah, we needed to wear it for our case today.." He explained as he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, voice dropping a sudden octave. He kissed your forehead with a sneaky smile, running his hands slowly and dangerously up and down your sides. You huffed almost inaudibly, feeling yourself grow incredibly frustrated with the man in front of you.

"You're teasing,"

"Am I?" The sound of his voice shot across your spine, causing nothing but heat to pool between your thighs. He placed a firm kiss to your jaw before turning to the door and snapping the lock of it shut. The blinds to your office had been closed beforehand, so now it was just you and Spencer in a dangerously enclosed area with him wearing his aggravatingly stupid vest.

He inched closer to you before swiftly pulling you in by your hips and placing his lips firmly onto yours. Your arms fell over his shoulders as you arched into him, desperately needing absolutely no possible space between your bodies.

With a few staggered steps, your lower back finally hit your desk without breaking your now heated kiss. Spencers lips moved across yours, pushing and inching for more as your hands pulled and grabbed at any part of him, silently begging for more. You could barely think as your pulse was throbbing inside your head and your legs were turning into putty.

Your hand reached behind you, slapping all of the desks contents onto the floor as Spencer lifted you onto the desk. You grabbed his shirts collar and pulled him closer, biting at his lower lip and earning a muffled groan which only caused the list settling at the bottom of your stomach to worsen.

You wrapped your legs around his waist, hooking his lower back with your ankles and pushing his lower half into your own. You could feel how hard he had grown which may or may not have caused you to roughly roll your hips against him, begging for the smallest bit of friction to the relieve the growing pressure. He shuddered, holding your hips still with a firm grip as if the smallest amount of friction would accidentally tip him over edge.

Your lips still fought relentlessly as both of you began to grow restless. Spencer pulled away from you, reaching his hands between you to unbuckle your dark brown dress pants as you planted kisses on his neck that left his breathing uneven and ragged.

He pulled back just enough to reach for the buckle of his vest but you were quick to grip his wrist, lips hovering over his as you breathed. "Don't—"

His body twitched, mind spinning at the sound of the slightest desperation in your voice. The subtle whine in your voice was nearly enough to send him spiraling, already feeling himself going feral.

"Don't take it off.." You reached down, undoing his belt as his mouth attacked your neck, leaving you panting breathlessly and shaking uncontrollably.

“Please,” You swallowed down every moan that itched to leave your body, opting for soft whines, fearing someone might hear, despite the thick walls that surrounded your office. The sweet sounds only drove Spencer to grow more desperate for you.

You and Spencer had been dating for a while, so he knew you were taking birth control and he had been tested a while back.

You hopped off the desk and pulled down at your pants and panties, while Spencer followed suit. There was a mutual hurried pace, both of your movements being hasty and messy, desperately trying to just feel each other. He kissed you feverishly before whispering over your lips.

"Turn around…” He said, delicately guiding your hips around so that the front of your body was facing the desk. You put up no fight, surrendering pathetically as his words worsened the pool that was already gathered between your legs.

His hands remained firmly on your waist, guiding you down so that your chest would lay flat against your desk. Spencer could feel his pulse throbbing and his fingers were beginning to dig too harshly into your hip.

He trailed his fingers across your spine and you squirmed with frustration underneath his grip “Spence, please..”

Your body trembled with anticipation as you ached to feel him inside you. He gave your hips a reassuring squeeze. “So needy..”

He aligned himself, twitching at the feeling of your dripping cunt. As if loosing all control, Spencer pushed himself into you with no warning whatsoever, causing you to clamp your eyes shut as your body shuddered with a wave of pleasure. Your teeth clamped down onto your bicep in order to prevent you from letting out any sounds you’d regret making.

"Fuck—" Spencer groaned, taking a second or two to adjust himself to the newfound tightness. Your body felt ethereal to him, it always had. He pushed your blouse up even more, allowing his hand to travel along your back and grip and squeeze anywhere he could as he began thrusting into you.

You squirmed underneath him, feeling your body shudder with pleasure as he drilled in and out of you. Spencer bent over you, pushing your hair slightly to the side while still maintaining his rhythm and whispering sweetly into your ear. "You look so pretty,"

"—And you feel so good," He planted a soft kiss behind your ear and as he pulled back, his hands tangled into your hair, nagging at it delicately. You let out a soft whine, and each noise you began to make was only a reason for Spencer to move deeper and harder into you.

"Oh—fuck," You moaned into your arm, feeling as the knot in your stomach was starting to tighten.

"My sweet girl," Spencer breathlessly muttered as he pulled at your hair. Your jaw slacked as, moaning repeatedly onto the desk. "That's it—"

Spencer worked with your body so delicately yet with such roughness that you found yourself practically melting beneath him. You had to stop yourself from screaming as Spencer suddenly hit your sweet spot and became closer to falling over the edge with you. With every movement and sound your body made, he found himself growing tighter and more relentless. His rhythm never faltered as he began to chase his climax alongside you.

"G-God Spence, do that again—" Your voice came out in a whine as you pushed your ass deeper against him, arching your back into him. "Shit—"

"Like that?" He asked, voice breathy and low. With every word, every breath, and every noise you made, Spencer felt himself grow tighter as he chased his high. "T-tell me how good this feels..."

"I'm gonna fucking—" You stifled a groan as Spencer relentlessly slammed into you a final time.

Your body shuddered in one final release, moaning desperately as Spencer twitched over you. He pulled you up by the hair, allowing himself to kiss and nip at your neck as both of you chased the remaining of your high. Your body shook underneath his as he covered your mouth, muffling any of your final sounds.

Once his pacing slowed down, he steadied himself against your body, needing to catch his breath. You hissed as he pulled out, not used to the sudden emptiness. As your breathings interlaced, he finally turned you around in his arms. He looked at your flushed face sweetly before pushing the hairs that had matted down onto your forehead with sweat backwards and kissing the tip of your nose.

You gave him a dopey smile, feeling drunk with the ecstasy. You leaned into his familiar touch with a smile and whispered. "You should wear that vest more often."

[magnetictapedatastorage]

Gouging was essentially a type of duel to defend one's honor that was most common among the poor, and was especially common in southern states in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

The emphasis on maximum disfigurement, on severing bodily parts, made this fighting style unique.

Foreign travelers might exaggerate and backwoods storytellers embellish, but the most neglected fact about eye-gouging matches is their actuality.

hey guys !! ;o)

[marahuyos]

Twst headcanons that i wrote on my phone and after finishing the entirety of the story (through yt)

Super unformatted and messy but i had to pump this out b4 i forget. Some may have s/o romantic relationships, some may not but i hope yall enjoy it regardless! Welcome me twst fandom

gn!reader

tw: story spoilers for twisted wonderland

• Leona trained himself to not follow a laser pointer. It all started with you buying a laser pointer as a joke for Grim but you had to suppress your laughter when you see Leona hone in on the laser like it was fresh prey. You can practically hear the thrumming of his heart and his calf muscles ready to pounce but all that was stopping him was his god-like restraint.

• To add, Ruggie did attempt to do the same but he almost got murked by Leona.

• Ever since the Fairy Gala event, Jamil has found a passion for make-up. Sure, while his little sister is another influence, he hasn't had this much freedom in choosing how he presents himself. Of course, Vil caught wind and soon Jamil was roped into being Vil's test model for new make-up swatches.

• At least Vil throws in some products so both Jamil and his little sister can use them.

• There came a time where Malleus scales started to shed and his grandmother and Lilia were at their wit's end trying to calm Malleus from destroying the Valley of Thorns. It was an awkward, painful moment of Malleus's growth (especially when he was just going through puberty in fae terms) and Lilia would never want to revisit it no matter how cute prepubescent Mal was. At least the shedded scales fetched a handsome price in the wizarding market.

• Deuce eventually got to have his license for using a Magic Wheel. Though it should be worth noting that he flunked the test several times despite how passionate he was at the vehicle. It took many convincing, many begging, many threats (you didn't hear that from me tho), to the person in charge that they eventually relented.

• Azul is the smallest octopus in his family. Female octopi are generally larger than the males and that they're more aggressive. Hence why Azul is calm and collected whereas his grandma and mom are more than willing to deck it out behind the family restaurant for giving them a 1 star review.

• While Vil would rather fight using his beauty, he will not hesitate for a good old fashioned beatdown. You've seen how dramatic Pomefiore is and how they're willing to fight as part of exercising, so it comes as no surprise that Vil is one of the few students of NRC to win in a fistfight. One of them is Leona also.

• Leona may also be one of the reasons why Vil could be fistfighting.

• Cater makes a trend on Magicam where he posts the different times where he's seen Silver sleep. The one with the highest views was the spot where Trein teaches but Lucius is there and napping on his chest. Cater meant to take a step closer but Lucius swiped his claws at Cater, making him jump up and end the video with a perfectly cut scream.

• If Jade and Floyd have a partner, they have to take care to cover their mouth when they yawn. You better try to start the practice of covering your mouth, lest you give the wrong (or right, no one's judging) impression to your eel boyfriend.

• Jack would sleep on his stomach because he doesn't trust the people he's sleeping with. Call it the instincts of a canine, but he's not willing to bare his front side when he remembers what Savanaclaw has done in the past. It takes someone he wholly trusts to have him sleep on his back with his stomach exposed.

• Speaking of Jack, he won't react if you scratch his stomach like a normal dog, but he'll be super happy if you scratch his chin. His tail starts wagging as he leans in closer to your touch, eyes closing as his leg nearly shifts up and down.

• Riddle hasn't called his mom ever since he left for NRC. It wasn't until he overblotted that he decided to at least have some sort of closure. It was awkward at best, one party shouting while the other listens, sometimes both parties shouting. But Riddle feels like he needed to at least let his parents know how he was faring. It was unfair on what his mother did and his father didn't do, but they were still his parents, and they deserve this much. At least that's what he believes.

• Trey stands close and rubs his back. He doesn't need to have super hearing to hear the screeches of Riddle's mother. He knows this is may be seen as penance for spoiling Riddle that led him to overblot but for now, he is Trey; Riddle's best friend.

• Because Grim is technically the smallest student of NRC, he gets to sneak around and find some dirty secrets (assuming that he shuts his mouth). He's got like a growing list of blackmail ready to use and he's got a lot more coming.

• Ruggie is a great teacher when the need arises. He sometimes teaches the rugrats in his hometown how to read and write so that they'll somewhat be ready for the future. If he teaches, he's super patient, always praising on youf efforts and even rewarding you with candy. It's super childish and it slips out sometimes when he's tutoring and he becomes slightly embarrassed when he does it towards people who aren't kids.

• Sebek has vocal training in the morning. It's not that he's practicing to sing, he's practicing to become the world's best speakerphone for his Lord's sake. No need for a mic or magic when all he has is the pure, unfiltered, rawness of his voice as he commands everyone to respect the ruler to be. Silver soon had to buy earplugs for him to sleep well because it was just that loud.

• Silver would love to teach the MC/You on how to swordfight. He would be super patient and awake for this too because he's excited that he gets to bond with another human when majority of the students of Diasomnia are faes, beastmen, or halflings.

hiiii, love all your stormlight takes so as I'm finishing up RoW again I HAVE to ask: if a moash redemption arc happened and he got a spren, what order do you think he'd be in? I'm personally leaning towards willshaper (I feel like there are a lot of interesting parallels between him and Venli), but I could also see edgedancer (especially if he mirrors Kal's arc in finding purpose and direction thru healing "ordinary" people). also, if he does get a redemption arc, what do the think the odds are of him getting a corrupted spren? would also just love to hear your thoughts on moash in general, he's such a great character and is def my top Problematic Fave this read-through (sorry if you've already posted something about this, I tried to go thru past posts and check but I might have missed it)

hi :)) first of all ty!! as for moash's order: i do think he's getting a redemption arc and will probably become a radiant but i personally dont have a horse in this race (though i know the moash literati on this website definitely have posts and meta written up on this already). i feel like skybreaker is like. too obvious and rigid and we already have szeth doing all that but i REALLY like the willshaper idea! he and venli do have a lot of parallels in the same way the both of them mirror kaladin and i can see what she's doing with the listeners playing a role in his inevitable redemption arc as opposed to him going back to b4 and starting from scratch. ive seen dustbringer as a potential option tossed around for moash as well. i don't think corrupted spren is the move for him though....i mean we dont know a lot about glys or the way they work rn but i think a post redemption moash might need something completely separate from odium's power, even if sja anat's spren arent working for him. i am outsourcing to the actual moash scholars to drop thoughts here cause i KNOW u guys have them :)

as for general moash thoughts. after row he is imo one of the most interesting and complicated players on the board right now and i cannot wait to see what he does next
