Contents: Veritas Ratio x GN! Reader, fluff, Owltio!

Words: 2465

“Quit your back talking” you scold, voice sharp as you whip around to glare at the bird on the table. Poised even in this fragile form, the big owl straightened its back, standing a little taller and letting out an accusatory ‘whooo’ at you. Despite the mild irritation you felt, from almost hearing all he had to say in your mind in human tongue from his irritation of being turned into this, you couldn’t help the way your face crumbled into a grin. Lifting a hand to rub the bridge of your nose, you take a moment to simply breathe and bask in the irony of the situation you find yourself in. Cackling you shook your head, trying to hide your amusement behind your hand, but the sound already reached the bird’s ears and he was already sauntering over to the edge of the desk as if to scold you for ‘not taking this seriously enough’. 

More coos came from him as you offered no response, but this time much less sharp but more defeated as his big wings stood half outstretched - it’s not everyday one gets turned into an animal, and Veritas was certainly not adapting swiftly to the clumsy yet deadly feet of this avian. His walk was awkward as he shuffled across the desk, his feathery back now turned to you as he looked for something.

Audibly letting out a soft ‘awh’, you approach the desk again, muttering an apology to him. Your words are met with his head spinning around to look at you 180 degrees, cartoonishly funny and beyond amusing. “I’m sorry alright.. No need to go  sulking about. Doubt you’d be able to do much like this anyway, and goodness knows I’d burn in hell if I just left you- leaving you like this'' you cackle a little as you reach out to rub the top of his head. He ducks away, so you leave him be. “I will help you out, okay? We’re in this together, but you’ll have to be a little more cooperative with me, Veritas”

He looks at you, clicking his little beak as he swishes his way to another corner of the desk, flapping his wings, and only then do you realize just how hot it was in the room, a warm breath of air making the layers of clothes stick to you like second skin. It must be no better for him with all those feathers. “Lucky you, I’m off work for the rest of the day. How about we get you a bath, hm?”

 Just like before, the owl’s head turned around, but this time its big eyes looked at you in a way they appeared to praise you for such a fantastic idea. Ever the person to not ask for help, had you not asked, the owl would have stayed here to swelter in the heat. “You like that, hm?” you coo at him, unable to hold back the mirth you found in the way he behaved - it is still a mystery for how long he’ll stay in this form, so it’s best to enjoy every moment while you could.

“Sometimes I wonder if you love those baths more than you even love me” you say out loud, holding your arm outstretched so the big bird can hop onto your forearm, you see it’s feathery ears perking, and another angry 'hooooo' went flying out from him, his chest puffing out in defense, scolding you for even posing such a stupid statement while he can’t verbally refute it. Sure, the doctor never directly spoke of his affections for you, but it should be without a doubt he favors you in more ways than one, and he definitely loves you more than his baths.

Nonetheless, you respond to his noise with a small smile as you carry him to the bathroom, a low hum coming forth from your throat as the silence due to the absence of his voice feels odd. You never realized before how much his voice filled your every day, specifically at home, although the silence between the two of you as you relaxed or went about your own thing wasn’t rare either. 

As the water began to fill the tub, Veritas found his purchase on one edge, watching as the water swirled inside, cool and radiating, tempting him to simply hop in right away. Not wanting to risk him drowning, you stopped the water from filling the tub whole, leaving enough water for him to sit comfortably in. “You need help getting in?” you asked as you looked at the big owl who, without a word(well, sound), hopped into the water, big wings spreading across as much as the tub would allow them to go. Water engulfed him from all sides as he splashed and dove his head swiftly underneath the water before coming up to shake the water off his face. Chuckling, you crouched down and rested your arms on the edge, one arm extending lower so the fingers could touch the water and flick some water on your beloved lover-turned-bird.

“WHOO” he says, a light gurgle in his howl as water splashed into his beak, prompting him to give a fast shake of his head. Now soaked and finally cool, he let his wings simply hang in the water with only his head bobbing on the water’s surface. It was like a purr, his next sound, a soft little ‘huuuu’ as he let his big eyes fall shut as the coolness licked up his feathers.

“I suppose this will have to become the new routine, until we can get you to turn back, that is” you comment as you look around for that one thing you never saw Ratio’s bath go without. The little duck floatie wasn’t too far off, standing on one of the shelves beside the bathtub, watching over the precious bathtub like a little guard before you retrieved it to sit beside Veritas. He looked at the duckie, which looked much bigger than he remembered, then up at you, then back at the duckie’s googly eyes. A sigh followed as the bird went back to cleaning himself off, his tail flicking back and forth, spraying water at you. 

Holding up your hand over your face in a frail attempt to shield yourself didn’t deter Veritas from subtly (but not so subtly) trying to splash you with the cool water. From the flap of his wings and down to the swish of his big tail, the water came flying at you. You laugh after the initial splash hits you, in disbelief at his action but no less happy to see it happen. And in retaliation, you cup your hand in the water and splash him back. “Don’t spray your water at me, you reek, you big bird!” you tease, earning a rather alarmed look from the bird before he dove down under the surface, fluffing his feathers as he came onto the surface to ruffle them. He yelled at you, bopping over to where you were and nudged at your hand. 

“You want me to wash you?” you guessed, and you guessed right as the next cry was more urgent as he extended one clawed leg up to grab around your fingers and draw you in. “Oh, yes, we can’t have you stinking up the place, no sir. If we do, then who’s to say we won’t have someone knocking on our doors to ask about the smell” you keep up your playful demeanor, fully knowing you will earn another earful from Veritas once his beak is turned back to human mouth. You giggle nonetheless, reaching your hand to begin and rub into his feathers. “I should go get you some bird-safe soap too, I don’t want to risk it with the soap we have” You tell him, and he seems understanding enough, a soft coo meeting your ears as a reply.

So many thoughts swirled in your head as you thought of the way you carefully had to handle his wings and the ways to help him turn back to his normal self. Ideas fell short from reality, sending you back to square one. Bringing this situation up to some of the higher ups at the Intelligentsia Guild seemed as the most plausible idea, while simultaneously being something that would most likely earn dislike from your lover here. While you took time to think of possible ways to help him, you could only hope that prolonged transformation like this had no dire side effects.

Three days flew by quickly. Books piled up on your desk and around the house, and the Guild has provided quite some solutions to your little problem - they were eager to get the genius back in their midst, but you only wanted to get Veritas out of this form. 

The weird food concoctions you had to feed the poor man(bird) made you feel sick, but he took it like a champion, only sighing, inhaling and then eating the food. Sometimes he’d fly around the rooms to get his exercise in, or to distract himself from the horrid tasting food; sometimes he’d wait for you around the kitchen to give him a sweeter tasting thing to cleanse his pallet, and other times he’d simply nap. You found out he slept a lot during the day, reminding you of cats. Your own sleeping schedule had gone to ruins and that was no fault of his - you simply wanted to help him where you could and spend time with him, entertaining him or feeding him. 

Yet, you couldn’t deny that the poor sleep has quickly caught up to you as you stifle another yawn. Now it was your time to relax in the bath, and the water did wonders to your muscles and mind alike. Suds slid down your neck and dipped back into the water as you sat down the scrubby sponge down aside in favor of resting, submerged up to the chin in the bubbly water.

No wonder he liked baths so much, you think, mind blanking otherwise. A distant flutter barely made your mind perk, until the small clink of claws on the bath’s edge had you flinching. 

“Veritas!- Didn’t I say that you should at least chirp if you fly towards me” With a small sigh you relax again. For all his big wings, he still flew as silently as the breath of the breeze.  You’d never get used to it. “Do you need anything, I'm afraid I can't help you right away, I’m a bit busy now” you mutter, your lower lip touching the water before you tilt your head up at him. His owlish eyes looked at the water, then at you, before he performed a small hop, landing on your knees that barely touched the surface of the water. “Want to join me, huh..? You know, you really shouldn’t, this isn’t that bird shampoo I bought for you” Veritas puffs his feathers in defiance, noting how the water was now deep, but with you a breath away, he let himself fall in. The suds rising and sticking to his feathers.  He cooed and squawked, flapping his wings and splashing the water. 

You quickly dipped your hands underneath, finding his clawed feet and offering him purchase so he doesn’t struggle, even if his big wings did a great job at keeping him afloat. There could never be a lack of caution, 

“Ratioooo” you whined, frowning and preparing to give him an earful before the weight in your hands grew tenfold, a sudden flicker and a flash of light blinding you to what actually happened in that fragment of a moment. Gasping you felt some water splash into your nose and mouth, the chemical taste of soap making your frown and hiss while the water being splashed over the floor alarmed you to no end.

“Ow-!” you winced, pulling your hands back from underneath the weight. Coughing resonated in the room, and this time it didn’t come from you.

“Veritas!?” Without even seeing him you recognized him, the mere sound of his coughs being enough to make your heart spring with mirth and a sense of triumph. You pushed back, the bathtub suddenly becoming too crowded, and looked up at him. Water dripped down his body, and before he could reply, his knee caught onto the slippery side of the tub, gravity pulling him down into the water and over you. Water splashed more, but you could only open your arms to catch him.

One had slipped underneath you, holding your upper back while the other held onto the edge of the tub to keep himself from falling any lower. He cleared his throat, blinking the water from his eyes. As you cheered his name and held him so closely, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, his cheeks struggling to fight the blush from rising up to them. Despite the initial shock and a wave of frustration that the soapy water caused by irritating his eyes, he couldn’t help but bask in the pure mirth you oozed. A childish joy that could stifle even his irritation - especially his. 

“VERITAS!” You cheered, all fatigue leaving your body as you held him again, your fingers not meeting the feathers but smooth and wet skin of his muscled back. His wet hair stuck to his forehead and a few stray hairs poked at his eyelids until he pushed his hair back. His mind reeled at the sudden loss of his much lighter form, and far more complicated one. Although he yearned to be human again for all the time he spent in his owl form, now he found it weird to feel fingers at the ends of his arms again. But what he had missed the most was this hold around his shoulders. 

“IT WORKED! You’re back, finally!” Your voice rang in his ears, reminding him of the ugly taste on his tongue and the shame he felt when you brought him into the HQ of the Guild, him perched on your shoulder and standing taller than the others - as always. 

“I told you- I-” he sputtered, but only groaned as words failed to form on his tongue. Has he gone mute from only cooing and howling?  “Pftt..” he chuckled, low and raspy as he pushed himself back, reeling you back with him to properly sit in the bath. He watched you lean back for only a few moments, your big smile forming the apples of your cheeks while your wet palm cupped his cheek. It made his breath hitch, and he’d be damned to admit, but he was sure his heart skipped a beat as well. Not wasting another moment, he pulled your back into his embrace, his face hidden away over your shoulder.

“You’re enjoying this far too much” Veritas spoke, even as a smile stretched across his features.

Through the Screen. (Pt. 2)

Self-aware! Obey Me x Gn! Insomniac! Reader

MAG EY KA MUNA EYYYY!!!! Also, off topic but I think it's now going to sound like a fanfic... 😭🙏

『Beloved fluffball/s mentioned below! 💜』

@rotin0 @cherry-blossom-sword80 @leniisreallycool @mc-cos-charm @imtotallynotthere @cosmo112 @cheeseburgercasserole @kanashi-aivy @dead-d0ves

Warnings: Cursing, spelling/grammar errors, it feels like I'm awake at 3am even though I started this shit at 8:13pm, you might be based by me in terms of some stuff going on w you (sorry), one mention of you being su*cidal, what the fuck im now half-asleep.

【Part 1】

• Ok, you sometimes voice call your friends in messenger (or whatever app you use to call them) for whatever reason.

• Lets say you might call them so that yall can play an online game that doesnt have voice chat.

• Fuckers they can hear you.

• As in the characters, they can hear you.

• Every foul word that comes out through your mouth? Yes.

• Those noises of you aggresively clicking your keyboard? Yes.

• The air conditioning doing its own thing? Yes.

• Hell, THE WAY THAT YOU BREATHE? YES.

• You dont know about that part yet

• So now that you know that they know how to make some changes to the game's code...

• Let's just say your initial reaction was legit: :0

• But realization risen upon you. Oh shit...

• If they'll break outta the game and into your phone, does that mean that they can see what you have on your phone, gallery, and the edits you saved on your phone thats crying for you to free some space in its storage. 😨

• Luckily, this new yet somewhat not-so new phone has the ability to hide away your apps, files, pictures, and videos into a hidden folder! :D

• You kept your more not child-friendly stuff into that folder in case your parents will check your phone.

• And I kid you not, what if they will somehow find a way to connect/join with your other devices too?! D:

• You decided to play Obey Me, since that's how you cope with the fact that quarterly tests are approaching your grades dangerously close.

• ...Tests be damned?

• Tests, be damned it is.

★ (this means timeskip)

• ...Maybe it was a bad idea.

• Because you're literally sweating bullets as you're looking at the first question written on the test paper.

Welp, I'm fucked.

• No shit, the very few questions that you know that you'll get right is your name and date.

• And not to mention that time pressure is a thorn to your mind right now.

Class, you have 30 minutes left!

• Sternly exclaimed the teacher, with students making stressed-out noises and sounding like they we're binge-watching anime last night. This was totally not targeted towards a certain someone in my school. Nope.

• You groaned along with the other students before you buried your face in the sweating palms of your hands and then moving them to your forehead to answer the next question. 29 out of 30 questions... you'd be finished right now if it was your favorite subject. But this test was easy. Way too easy...

• Hm...

• God damn it. You took your words back as soon as you saw the arch nemesis of your life.

• And... Is that x3+y3+z3=k?

...EAHHHGGHH—

• Why... You were so certain that not a single math teacher could've taught this yet.

• You we're so damn thankful that this was multiple choice. Omfg.

• Anygays-

Eeny meeny miny Moe...

(This divider means a longer timeskip.)

• Ok so, after all that suffering, you can finally get the hell out of this dumpster of a fucking school!

• You skip your way out of that shitty classroom, with the first thing– or rather person– to greet you was your non-fictional and only best friend! Yipee! :D

N/n!!! :D (N/n means Nickname)

• Exclaimed they, the person who has been with you through thick and thin.

We'll go to your house just like you promised, right?

• So bright, like the stars blanketing the night skies.

• Sometimes you wish you were like them.

• Cheerful, positive, an absolute sunshine up your face, not-so suicida—

Uhm... N/n?

• Oops. You spaced out again.

Yah, lesgo.

• After y'all went inside your... miserable excuse of a house (you know you havent cleaned this shit up for god knows how long.)

• Luckily, your parents (mainly your dad) was in an EXTRA good mood today, (they weren't present after they screamed profanities at you last night <3) so you had the house all to your yourself.

Don't worry, my parents aren't here today..

• You said, which eased the concern building up inside your best friend's mind after they remembered what you told them about your... 'normal' relationship with your parents.

C'monnn, let's study in the living room.

• You best friend whined before dragging your sleep deprived ass to your couch.

★

Wahhh! Are you sure this ain't corn syrup?

I think so. Yah. Wait I don't even buy that shit to shove it up the drawer's ass...-

• Ok uhmm.... What was supposed to be a study session turned into a cooking session.

• Bless Solomon for not being present in the kitchen. Yet.

• You were about add some extra spices to- what the fuck were you making again??? when your loud ass 6pm alarm rang.

Augh...

• You groaned. Your hands were oily as fuck and you needed to take your maintenance. Great timing up my fucking ass.

Yo B/f/n, pass me my pills. Please?

Yah su-

• You and your friend suddenly got a loud ass obey me notification on your phones. They at least still had the decency to pass you your pills even while they're still shocked at the kind of notification they got.

• I mean, no shit dipshit.

• Bitch how tyhe fuck did they know that you eat dinner at 9 in the fucking eveni-

• Oh..

• OH...

• You forgot they can practically stalk you through your phone and you haven't told your good ol' bestie about that now, did you...

• ...Oops. 🥰

If you think this is short, and its your first time stubling upon the dumpster collection of a blog thats also 95% full of reblogs, wait until you see that sagau series that i havent finished yet 😭🙏

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE STOP REPOSTING GIFS.

“bu…bubu- but they’re just wittle pixels and digital images rwight 🥺” no. we spend hours on gifs or even one singular gif to make edits for FREE on tumblr dot com. name a person who asked us to do this. no one!! exactly!! we make gifs bc its enjoyable and fun but people like reposters suck the fun out of it!!! and do NOT go and tell us that “gifs aren’t that hard to make” baby girl what do u think we do? go online and search for a video downloader and download it at like a crappy 720p and go to like literal ezgif dot com and all the gifs just MAGICALLY have their effects, typography, colouring, blending, animation, quality all up and ready? why dont u try and make a gif. hm.

and also, @ all of you “gif collectors” or some fanfic writers. lemme tell u a secret. an itty bitty secret. did u know… theres this really cool thing called PROPERLY CREDITING? im not talking about a stupid “credits to the owners” no. it isn’t that hard to properly source the creators or accounts.

that wasn’t so hard, hm?

also oh my god, do NOT go around saying you made these gifs when it is so obvious you didn’t. no bff, it isn’t a coincidence we have the same sharpening AND colouring settings.

and hey, i’ll stop my angry typing for a minute and just say that if you wanna learn how to make gifs there are plenty of amazing accounts and tutorials that are incredibly detailed. here are a few i recommend:

how to: make high quality gifs by sith-maul

giffing 101 by cillianmurphy

giffing and colouring tutorial by sashafierce

how to fix and avoid orangewashing characters by maxchapman

how to fix and avoid white/pink/yellowwashing by jeonwonwoo

how to: colouring east & southeast asians by blueshelp

pastel gifs: a tutorial by completeresources

how to fix and avoid whitewashing in pastel gifs by fadenet

and for those who don’t want to pay/ t*rr*nt photoshop:

free giffing tutorial by ashleysolsen

photopea gif tutorial by lacebird

and @usergif has a bunch of directories and navigation for tutorials and inspiration!

again, there are so many useful tutorials if you’d just look.

i know this probably won’t stop all reposters (unfortunately) but i hope those reposters that are reading this realise how messed up stealing gifs are. it isn’t funny or cool to see gifs that you’ve spent so much time on only to be reposted here or on other sites without credit or being claimed as someone elses.

we’re just asking for a proper credit on your post or maybe even stop reposting in whole. im sure you had good intentions in making those posts, but you have to understand how much it hurts. at this point, we have to put our watermarks in the middle of our gifs to avoid people cropping them out.

and please, PLEASE reblog edits. you have no idea how diminishing it is to see such a crappy like to reblog ratio. remember this hellsite has such a crappy algorithm so reblogging is essentially one of the only ways to give posts more traction

AGAIN. dont repost gifs. dont steal gifs without credit. dont belittle gifmakers. just stop being so disrespectful and rude and have a brain for once. thank you for reading.

edit: ive noticed ppl asking why i kinda like insulted those who use 720p and ezgif, im really sorry if i made it sound like a bad thing !! i was just very angry writing this aaaadjskdks gifmaking, HQ or not is valid and nobody deserves to get their creations stolen !

[ffs-abalisk]

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?

Optional bonus: Pick the question you most want to answer and answer it.

Hm, at this point I'd say the longest plot bunny that I have held on to is a rewrite of an old Full Metal Alchemist fanfic that I had in my early FFN days but had taken it down due to dissatisfaction over its direction (i'm apparently very picky like that).

And my reasons for having not followed through with it or, really, worked on it at all is because in my mind FMA is one of those anime that are exceedingly difficult to write for. Mainly due to the fact that the overall story is pretty well knit together and thus any "fix it" aspirations kinda just don't exist or die prematurely lol. OCs for the universe are fun to make, but once it comes down to actually writing them and the way they affect the story weeeeeeeell...

It just doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough this is a series that benefits from slice of life, not fix it fics.

And honestly? I'm not interested in revisiting canon again, I'd just watch the show again if that were to be the case. An OC would have to be pretty damn compelling for me to be even remotely interested in that kind of rehash. And if there's gonna be an AU, the butterfly effect better be significant enough to be interesting.

It is quite possible I am just looking at this at an entirely wrong angle and need a new perspective on it, but it's not really a priority for me right now and so it will sit in my WIP Shadow Realm until I get some kind of brain blast to inspire me.

--

As for what question I want to answer the most... let's see here.........

Ah how about 99. was being a writer a dream of yours when you were little? or did it spring up when your older? or is it just a hobby? 

I actually hated doing any sort of writing when I was younger... mainly due to most of the school work we were given for writing was for Essays, which for someone with ADHD like me, is the most PHYSICALLY PAINFUL KIND OF BOREDOM I have ever experienced. Thus I barely passed most of my English classes despite having a reading level of a High School student when I was in 6th grade.

But then something amazing happened... I discovered Fanfiction.net

And through it I discovered what kind of things amateur writers could accomplish, how they could improve over time, what kinds of stories they could tell outside of the canon narrative...

Suffice to say I was addicted immediately. The possibilities seemed endless

And I. Wanted that.

It was also at a time of my life that I was grasping at any sort of coping mechanism I could reach for. Home life wasn't great and I was overall in a very negative space mentally... But this gave me a way to express those feelings I wasn't allowed to show at the ripe age of 12 and I could explore different routes, different characters, and the creativity of others.

It helped me feel connected with other people in ways that no one was in real life, because while I had the mask of anonymity online, it was a lot closer to my true face than the painful mask I was forced to wear in the outside world.

So yeah, it's just a hobby for now, but is still a big part of my life and my reason for encouraging new writers because I've BEEN there, ya know? I do have the inklings of some kind of story that I may one day like to publish, but that's a tale for another time :)

Thank you asking!

[seeingivy]

method acting asks!

first of all, you guys ate the style chapter so bad EEK im so glad you guys loved it. more where that's coming from! been having the worst week but watching people react as they read has been super fun and I thank you all for that :')

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMM2wqGJV/ oh bestie...oh you're SO RIGHT. like y/n's nickname is princess but I definitely think as time goes on historia fits more of the princess vibe and y/n as the popstar. also some part of their friendship is loosely based on olivia rodrigo and sabrina carpenter, just like solely as vibes so

https://x.com/erjgrs/status/1765732630643851685?s=46&t=Uk-oZnZapecdEA4wRzncKw real. a picture lana would post and the quote tweet would be y/n.

(this isn't a method acting ask but it's eren and legit the only eren thing i've written since july so it counts)

hi!!!! thank you so much for the love :') i'm so excited to share it with everyone!

the opening and ending songs are the same! I make a shinzo sasageyo joke in the next set of tweets....I agree with you, I do think that they would write all the music that was included in the actual show and that certain songs are for ceertain characters

table scenes twitter reactions coming...your wish is my command...

vampire by olivia rodrigo, ding ding! one of my fav songs that I get to include i'm so excited eek. I def think lana would cover the song but I think the main like song she would write about ricky would be something like would've could've should've by taylor swift/goddess by laufey/ or history of man by maisie peters

I hope you have a lovely day too!!!! thank you so much for supporting me :')

I actually considered going with heavenly bodies as the theme for this met gala in the fic (just bc that was litearlly the best met gala) but I ended up deciding against it. but I totally get what you mean,,, they would serve....

also a slight hint, but I did end up giving lana marilyn monroe kim kardashian controversy dress because that is something that lana would do. also in general, lana/clarkson's are based off of kardashians (if you couldn't tell) so....it fit

HARD AGREE. I think whatever they bond over is something that eren just...can't do. like if they're watching a reality tv show and really invested, he'd sit there being like....it's fake just to get mad glares fro zeke/carla/and i'm adding colt to the mix. eren's cool with the kiddos (falco and gabi) but y/ns cool with the big brothers (zeke and colt)

@najaemism omg I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER HEARD THSI SONG BEFORE but actually you're so right. also very mikasa during jeankasa meltdown.....also historia (more on that later)

@leave-rae-alone HI POOKIE! don't worry...I disappear off the face of my blog like every other week. I hope you're doing well and take time to rest!

am I allowed to say megan thee stallion bc I am in love with megan thee stallion? but actually though, I think her style fits the character, she likes anime and this is an anime fanfic, and her using like stuff from tokyo ghoul as references during the nicki drama is actually something that I think y/n would do. also I just love this outfit i would include it as a red carpet outfit or something

hm. there are a few that @/bsenpai and I mention bc we actually talk about method acting everyday like its an illness. I think y/n and eren would do she's the man (that's the movie they've promised ethan cole btw), eren and y/n also do pride and prejudice 2005, I also think she would act as the daughter as interstellar. those are the ones that come to mind rn!

no comment. you did ask this before I posted the chapter tho but you like manifested that one hard so.

LMFAOOOO. wait can I tell you the funniest thing....is that I actually think young gojo in method acting would be like young justin bieber. like i had this thought the other day when i was listening to somebody to love and i was like....ok chill out gojo damn. like I naturally think he would have that charisma and be one of the first people to pop off on youtube....but he would not flop like current justin bieber.

that's all for today. here are the songs + some hints for the next chapter:

see you again by tyler the creator ft. kali uchis, end game by taylor swift, and vampire by olivia rodrigo

an award wrapped in a ribbon

a red lipstick mark

smashing a crown

sukuna splashing a glass of wine in someone's face...soulmateism if you ask me

there are some of these i think you could technically figure out. but oh well, I will see you then!

with that, congratulations to fawn a.k.a @dearbraus! as this month being pride month, we wanted to highlight a creator who writes queer fics and fawn is practically the pioneer. they are a very pleasant individual to interview and talk to! during our interview, we talked about their experiences as a queer creator on tumblr, fandom, and the community all together; and get to know them more! touch read more for the full interview below!

1. what made you join tumblr? how long have you been a member all together?

i joined tumblr originally for fanart and fandom! i believe it was for the hunger games and percy jackson! that was back in 2014 so it’s been about ten years as of this year!

2. what's keeping you to the site? is there anything you like about it? what could be changed?

honestly the community! even with all its flaws it’s the community that keeps me on tumblr. i do of course love supporting my fellow artists and writers but this specific corner of tumblr is really special in a way that it cannot be found elsewhere. i really like how tumblr allows you to personalise your blog and the ask function as it makes for fun interactions without the pressure of it being private. i’d honestly only change how the tag system works because it can be so finicky with getting posts to show up lol!

3. what is the most difficult part for you when it comes to brainstorming/writing?

hm, it’s definitely picking a character! i have such trouble picking just one of my favourites because i want to give them all love! and when it comes to writing fics i struggle with starting things off. i tend to get ideas of a specific scene in the middle of the story and have to build around that one scene so it makes the beginnings and endings a bit tricky.

4. what is the proudest/most inspirational moment you've experienced in creating so far?

i’ve had many moments but if i had to choose just one it’d be when i created my royal au series as it pushed me to my limits in terms of creativity and how much i could write. i’ve never written as much as i have for that series and i’m really proud of myself

5. as a queer creator yourself, what was your experience as a content creator? what keeps you going?

i’ve had a lot of ups and downs when it comes to writing as a queer person whether it be due to people questioning my identity or just blatant homophobia. there are times too where it has definitely felt a bit lonely as someone who writes a substantial amount of queer fanfic or at least enough to where i’m know for writing such fics, however i’ve managed to find and make a small community of other queer writers which is really important to me. they’re definitely what keeps me going and so are my readers. i’ve received some very lovely comments on my work that really just motivate me to keep going and remind me why i write what i do even when i feel discouraged

6. where do you find your muse to start creating? what inspires you?

i started writing as a kid and always loved to insert myself into whatever piece of media i was currently fixated on. i didn’t take things too seriously when i was younger and it was very much just a hobby back then but it has now evolved into a passion that allows me to express my innermost feelings even if it’s through writing anime x reader fics. i still am very much inspired by self inserting through my current fixations but it has shifted more towards inserting in the name of representation. while i’ve been a bit too busy as of late to delve into writing longer fanfics, last year i wrote two fics which centred heavily around readers experiencing mental health issues as well as compulsory heterosexuality because these are things that i’ve found to be not so readily spoken about outside of online spaces. i really do enjoy using fanfiction and writing in general to explore things that are considered taboo in a slightly unconventional way

7. do you have any advice for any first-time content creators?

don’t put so much pressure on yourself! i think due to the commodification of hobbies, there’s this idea that if we write or make art that it must be mass produced but what makes art special is that it’s one of a kind! so if you’re a first time writer/artist on tumblr, don’t force yourself to creator in the hopes of appeasing others! create because you’re inspired and because you’re having fun! also, don’t let others ruin your fun!!!! i think that’s the most important thing, block liberally to protect your peace, use tumblrs filtering feature to hide anything that you dislike, and ignore those coming into your inbox looking to cause trouble!!! i definitely struggled with taking things to personally when i first started writing and it sucked the fun out of sharing my writing very quickly until i learned that i shouldn’t let others being negative and mean get in the way of my enjoyment

8. do you have any advice for anyone looking for a server/network to join?

hm, i think my biggest piece of advice would be don’t be scared! join servers and networks even if you don’t know the owners/mods super well! it can be super scary being in a new space with new people but i promise it’s well worth it! way back in 2021 i joined audrey’s very server not knowing anyone and have since join all the other iterations that came afterward because there was such love and care put into her servers (that are still there with the interstellar inn!) and have loved meeting so many new people who are in all kinds of different life paths. and for anyone reading this looking for a server or network to join i definitely think you should join the interstellar inn, theres so many fun events and watch parties being held that make the server a really fun space! and the network is very well organized and cared for that i’m in awe! and of course i would love to befriend any person reading this who ends up joining hehe

When it comes to musing about the philosophy of fanfic, there's a huge problem because it's not clear what fanfic is. What's the first fanfic? Depends. Dante's Divine Comedy is absolutely not fanfic, and it also absolutely is fanfic, depending on who you ask and sometimes at what time of day you ask them. The "Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" is fanfic, as is every modern staging of them, and also the original Shakespeare plays themselves, except all of that is ludicrous. And so on and on.

There are millions of different definitions, but for the purposes of simplicity, we can say that there are two: The broad definition and the narrow definition.

Broadly, something like fanfic has been around for as long as people have told stories. People tell stories, and others repeat them, retell them, and in retelling change them, or tell new stories with their favourite heroes. If you look into any of the ancient myths of ancient deities, they're always stories like that, created piece-wise over centuries, written by different people and often contradict each other. The legend of Arthur has been through numerous iterations, each adding their own spin on things. Most of Shakespeare's plays are based on older stories. Both English and German have plays about Doctor Faustus that are considered crucial pieces of literature that are completely different. And so on.

The narrow view of Fanfic is to look at the modern practice, which is generally believed to have started with Star Trek shipping and has found its current home mostly on Ao3. This form of fanfic is really its own genre of literature, with fixed tropes (there was only one bed), a heavy focus on romance instead of new adventures and so on. It exists in constant tension with copyright law. It's based (mostly) on commercial brands and commercial products and puts its own spin on them. We've all read and often written it.

Which view of fanfic you prefer depends on what you want to talk about. Both have their flaws.

The first version is so broad that it encompasses all of storytelling on some level. That can be the point, but it can also make it completely useless.

The second version on the other hand is too narrow and too limited. For example, there are plenty of Star Trek fans writing fanfic who aren't interested in, or even aware of, Spock/Kirk or other romance stuff. Even the simple question "is an abridged version of an anime a fanfic?" becomes hard and "hm it depends" if you see fanfic purely through the lens of Fanfiction.net and Ao3.

But ultimately it really depends. If you're talking about the trends on Ao3, then looking at the Ao3-specific definition makes a lot of sense. If you want to talk about whether fanfic is a legitimate endeavour, using the all-encompassing definition is correct. In the end the answer to "is this thing that doesn't claim to be a fanfic actually a fanfic" depends mostly on who's asking and why.

TL;DR: The statements "Dante's Divine Comedy is fanfic" and "Dante's Divine Comedy isn't fanfic" can and must coexist.

CHAPTER 3

In Xuan Ji's opinion, she doesn't whine nearly as often as other people. To be transmigrated, reincarnated, or whatever her current circumstance is. She isn't even sure if she was transmigrated or reincarnated! She is even unaware of her own death! Does she even exist? Wait, of course she does exist. What kind of dumb question is that?? The system claims that she reincarnated, but it gives no indication of how she died. She has been on the phone and in the bus before. Did her bus experience a collision? But shouldn't she experience that pain as other anime and manga characters experienced it as well? 

Before rushing outdoors, she hastily put the black blindfold across her eyes. Having learned the ability of "inner-sight," the sight is translucent black, but she can still see herself surrounded. How much better it would have been if she could use eye contacts in the time period she is in. She wouldn't be forced to wear this obtrusive blindfold. It had only been 10 minutes and she already lost 100 points for it, making her account going negative! If she repeats that 100 more times, she will be buried alive! 

Spotting Xiyin holding the hairpin and enthusiastically waving it like a young child playing with their toy. She wasn't sure whether to be jealous of the young energy of the female or to act as though she doesn't know the female. It didn't matter since Xiyin approached her without hesitation, approaching her like an adorable kitten that needed its owner to survive. Xiyin positioned herself at Xuan Ji's side and then carefully nudged onto her long sleeve. 

"Hm?" To prevent Xiyin from realizing she already knew what the female was about to give her, Xuan Ji pretended to be completely unaware. 

"I just purchased you this hairpin, Xuan- Jie Jie. I hope you'll like it," Xiyin stutters inconsolably while looking to the side. Her cheek begins to flush a peachy-color as she struggles to look squarely at Xuan Ji. 

"Oh...thanks?" Xuan Ji was uncertain of the original Xuan Ji's response. She also doesn't want to lose any more points. 

Walking alongside Xuan Ji, Xiyin nodded but kept her mouth shut as her previous blush subsided. Xiyin presents as a pleasant and attractive young lady with a good body shape who wears light cosmetics. Even though she is only giving an item as a gift, Xiyin appears to admire the original Xuan Ji sufficiently to cause such reactions. 

They fell into an awkward silence because neither of them seemed to know what to say to the other. "Any place that you want to visit?" Xuan Ji immediately regretted the word after she had said it. She should have just kept quiet to avoid losing points for speaking in an ooc-style, but her noisy little mouth wasn't much help. 

"Anywhere that Xuan jiejie wanna goes, A-yin will follow"

Oh then, that was certainly of no use. Not that Xuan Ji will express her ideas in the open and dash Xiyin's hopes. 

Xuan Ji noticed an elderly woman staring at them as though she were waiting or hesitating. When the elderly woman noticed that Xuan Ji was looking at her, she swayed to the side. The woman approached them after gathering the guts to do so and said, "What sect are you two females from?"

"We're not members of a sect", replied Xiyin immediately in response to the query. The elderly woman changes in some way after hearing that. "Is something wrong?" As she kept gazing at the woman though her black blindfold, Xuan Ji asked. 

"Nothing. Simply put, I was concerned that I wouldn't have enough money to pay them if they were cultivators from a larger sect."

Xuan Ji replied, "What is it that you need help with?"

"My son is missing ever since yesterday night, I been attempting to ask around yet ..." 

"We should assist her, "said Xiyin, pulling on Xuan's sleeves as she scowled in sympathy for the elderly woman and expressed concern for her son. Xuan responded by nodding. 

"Please give us the intel on the matter"

Fluffvember 1 - Cooking

I'm on Bluesky a lot more now (https://bsky.app/profile/valiantly.bsky.social) and there's an event called Fluffvember for fluffy fics. I don't do much fanfic, so i thought I'd do fanfic of my OCs, because fuck it. So please have a small vignette about cooking some mammoth meat and feeling bad about capitalism (below the break)

Sook stared up at her elven lover dragging a steak as wide as she was tall through the balcony door on a sled. Her jetbike hummed to itself outside. The cityscape behind her was lost in the morning fog. Her ears were long and floppy from exertion. Her black hair was pinned back with a single shard of grey bone. She wore naught but a battered white tank-top and a pair of black joggers with WITCH ASS written on the, well, ass.

Sook suppressed the primal emotions that surged through her at the sight of her magical partner and looked down at the handwritten recipe in a language she didn’t speak.

“Are you sure this calls for mammoth meat?” Sook asked.

“Oh yeah, this is my grandma’s recipe.” Nil said. Her ears perked right up, twitching at the tips from excitement. “My mom wrote it down centuries ago, but I’ve never made it myself.”

“I thought mammoths were extinct…” Sook said, staring down at the table-sized slab of red meat, dripping through the layers of parchment paper it lay upon.

Nil brushed her bloody hands together. “Hm? Maybe on your world. We had plenty. God, they used to chase them into canyons to kill dozens at a time. We stopped doing that, obviously. But a few herds came over in the Pulse, and I have some friends who still hunt them. Burned a favor to get this, but it’s worth it.”

“Are you sure?” Sook said. She had been raised on the hautest of cuisine, the fare only billionaire heirs could afford. There was always talk of cloning mammoth meat, but it’d never been done to anyone’s satisfaction. Besides, she didn’t eat elephant—why would hair make any difference?

“Aren’t mammoths intelligent?”

“All animals are smart.” Nil said with a shrug. “It’s just different scales of smartness. I feel just as bad for digging up an anthill, or having chicken wings. We don’t actually value a life on intelligence. If we did, we wouldn’t eat mushrooms or cut down trees. And don’t talk to me about how the mushroom is just the fruiting body,” she said, apparently reading Sook’s mind. “The point is that fungi are smart.”

“Alright, alright!” Sook said. She looked to Nil’s less-than-spotless kitchen for the next step. Besides cleaning it, which she had spent the better part of the morning doing. The lack of any cleaning materials had made it more difficult than she’d expected, but it was good enough for government work, as her father had always said.

“I’ll just tidy up the kitch a bit here.” Nil said.

“Oh, I already—”

Nil strode forward, uttered a few intangible phrases and whispered the scent of a spring breeze across the flat. The kitchen jiggled for a moment, then popped into cleanliness, as though it had never been dirty in its life.

Sook stared at the literally sparkling kitchen with daggers figuratively shooting from her eyes. “Could you have done that the whole time?” She asked.

“Hm?” Nil hauled the steak inside, evidently not noticing Sook’s increasing rage.

“I just spent two hours cleaning that kitchen and you sparked it to pristine in a second.”

“Ohhh, sorry!” Nil said, scrounging through the cupboards. She disappeared inside one for some time, then re-emerged carrying the largest dutch oven  Sook had ever seen. She set it on top of the stove and turned every single burner on.

“That’s my bad,” Nil said. “I should have told you not to worry about it. It takes energy to cast that spell so I just don’t bother most of the time. For you I wanted it to be clean.”

“Then why didn’t y ou clean it last night?” Sook asked, arms crossed.

“Well, we weren’t using the kitchen…” Nil said, with the most infuriating smirk twisting across her face.

“You are insufferable.” Sook said, but the taste of Nil was still on her lips. She still felt Nil’s skin pressed against her own. The way she’d taken control, the way she’d made Sook beg and plead and moan…

She could forgive a little mess.

Nil rattled off a list of ingredients and where to find them. Sook found herself travelling across the flat back and forth in a haphazard trot. Salt was next to the sacrificial altar. Flour was in the pantry, next to the box of grenades. The spices were all growing in what had been the master bedroom but was now a makeshift greenhouse, lit with a combination of modern SAD lamps and luminous sprites.

“Oh, fuck, we need tomatoes.” Nil said.

“You had those on Khesper?” Sook asked, dumping an armful of herbs on the marble kitchen counter.

“Oh sure, the ancestors brought a lot of cuttings through the gates. Stupid not to. Can you run down to the store and grab a few cans?”

“What, you can’t magic some up?” Sook said, mostly joking.

Nil shook her head. “Not without paying in blood. Food is expensive, moreso than moving stone or changing temperature. Food is life. Not only is it calorie-rich, but the concept of sustenance is a powerful one, a basis of the most elder spirits. Eating it staves off death. Growing it makes new life. Stealing it can either sustain or destroy, sometimes both.” She opened a drawer and began digging through onions. “I don’t fuck around with food.”

Sook threw up her hands in defeat. “Alright! Food is more dangerous magic than fireballs. Got it. I’ll go buy tomatoes.”

Nil’s apartment, much like the rest of the Entertainment District, was abandoned to the point that the elevator no longer worked. Like everywhere else around here, the basement and first floor were flooded. She had to go out and ask the bike for help. Fuse, Nil had called him.

“Um, can you take me to the store?” She asked. Fuse whirred his thrust vector flaps in assent, displaying a bunch of dollar sign and pixellated store emojis on his handlebar screen. She somewhat hesitantly climbed aboard—she’d never ridden him without Nil and her magical safety precautions. But Fuse did not screech to Mach 5 or flip her upside-down. He gently took off from the balcony and drifted down the building like a hot-dog shaped balloon. At about five-storey height he angled his thrusters down and back and puttered to a corner store on a pier whose name was an incomprehensible combination of sputtering chinese neon lights, orkish graffiti, and the word MART.

The storekeep, some kind of moss-colored halfling or gnome or goblin, Sook wasn’t really sure which, didn’t look up from their tablet until she came to the till with every can of crushed tomatoes they had.

“You’re not Miss Shadow.” The storekeep said.

“No…” Sook said.

“But Fuse dropped you off. Hm.” They nodded at the door. “Off with you then.”

“I haven’t paid.”

“Miss Shadow don’t pay. And you’re runnin’ her errands.” They said. They looked back down at their tablet with a finality she understood well.

Sook climbed back aboard Fuse with a bag full of cans and pondered just who she’d fallen in with on her way back. She was a billionaire. She could’ve paid. Should’ve, considering the state of the shop and the neighborhood. But that storekeep didn’t want the money. They didn’t care about a few cans of tomatoes. They cared about whatever it was Nil did for them.

Sook rode back through the dilapidated towers of the district, over little water busses and kayaks, over piers bustling with flea markets and people looking to trade trash for trash. She wondered what these people would eat for dinner. Probably not braised mammoth. Maybe not even real food at all.

Fuse dropped her off on the balcony. Sook opened the door, and steam rushed past her, carrying the scent of spices, fried meat, and hot oil. She promptly began salivating.

“Okay it smells delicious in here.” Sook said. She dumped the bag of tomatoes down next to a pile of skulls with runes burned black into their bleached bones. One tumbled down onto a separate pile of old phones, some of which were growing a strange orange fungus that gave off an aura of disquiet and craving. She tried not to think about that.

Nil screamed and grunted. Sook almost asked what was wrong, then saw that Nil was simply trying to heave the mammoth steak over to brown the other side, and failing.

“Sweetie, let me.” Sook said. She reached into the pot, ignoring the steam, and manually flipped the steak over with a single fluid motion. The steak sizzled in the pot. She held her hands out to Nil.

“Cleaning, please.”

Nil waved her hands. “Of course, my gallant knight.” Then, instead of casting a spell, she leaned forward and sucked on Sook’s fingers, gently teasing the spices, blood, and oil from Sook’s fingers with her tongue, warm and moist and strong.

Sook gasped for more than one reason, and pulled her hands back.

“That’s unsanitary!” Sook said.

“Mm, darling, but you aren’t cooked either, and I ate you last night.”

“THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT!”

Nil laughed, a high, haughty thing, and grinned at her evilly. “My love, you have no idea what elves do for food, do you? It’s either the blood of the hunt or something that’s stewed for three days. This is a quick lunch I’m making here.”

“I’d hate to see what’s a family meal for you.”

Nil’s black-painted lips curled up in a smirk.

“You’ll see.” She said. It sounded more like a promise than a wisecrack.

 Sook went to the sink, found a long-abandoned bar of soap, and washed her hands with a jug of water. She grabbed a can of tomatoes and plunked it down next to the pot.

“Hey, so. I was thinking. This meal is huge, right? We can’t possibly eat it all. This district is poor as shit, right? Shouldn’t we share it? I mean, you’re a fucking wizard, and I’m rich. It feels wrong to keep this to ourselves. I just feel guilty. I feel like I’m not even part of this world. We got the tomatoes for free from the shopkeep because apparently they owe you. I just… I’m tired of taking all the time. I want to give.”

Nil cocked her head quizzically, like a dog that had just heard the letters W A L K. Her expression softened as she saw Sook’s sincerity. She reached up and tenderly cupped Sook’s cheek.

“Darling, what do you think we were gonna do with all this meat?”

Shipper Tag Game

Tagged by the delightful @seiya-starsniper @zzoomacroom and @carnelianmeluha, thank you!

What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don’t care about anymore? I...hm. Am I willing to publicly admit to the self-insert daydreaming I did as a teen, long before my days in internet fandom? Okay I guess I kind of just did but I refuse to elaborate. I have long since moved on and I ship him with an in-universe partner at this point.

Which ship would you consider your first one? You ask a lot of my poor aging memory. I'm gonna say...before internet-accessible fandom? I was very keen on Rogue and Gambit in high school, when the 90s XMen animated series was one of my primary interests. After acquiring internet access and discovering communal fandom? 2x5, Gundam Wing. Duo and Wufei.

Your first fanfic was about which couple? Duo and Wufei

Do you remember the first couple you saw fan art of? It was probably Heero x Duo since that was the big popular ship in GW

Have you ever gotten into ship discourse? I don't think so. I am not exempt from having spoken ill of ships over the years but it's been about my opinion, not some kind of value/morality judgement and I have never gotten into fights with anyone

Did you used to have a NOTP or have one currently? There is one ship that I will class as a NOTP and it only became that after it went unexpectedly canon. I'm still willing to incorporate their canon kid into things and I have no interest in demonizing her, but I absolutely Do Not Want to see/read/hear about them having a genuine romantic attachment because the canonization pissed me off so bad. It's SaiIno from Naruto, for the curious.

Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read? Dreamling

Currently, do you have any OTPs? Depends on your definition of OTP I suppose. To me it means 'favorite couple' more than 'can't stomach seeing them with anyone else'. Currently that's Dreamling. Currently I'm not really interested in reading about either of them with anyone else but historically as I spend longer in a fandom my tastes grow more willing to branch out, so who knows what the future holds. And I still have OTPs from each fandom I've been in (some of which predate the common use of the term 'OTP') even if they're no longer my reading/writing focus.

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting into? Not...really? Not mad about? This is such a weird question, if I was truly taken with a ship I would have explored it? Are we asking if I'm mad about getting into a ship after the fandom has passed its peak of popularity maybe? IDK? I mean, there are occasionally characters from properties that are in formats that I don't tend to invest my time in (Podcasts, video games, long-ass long-running animes that I did not get in on the ground floor with) that catch my interest, and then I have next to no canon framework for exploring my interest, but it's not a thing I'd ever get mad about. If I really want to know more about Gale and his potential matches I'll find somewhere to read BG3 lore, y'know?

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they’re kind of interesting? Mmmmmno. But I do have more than one that's gone the other way.

Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over? Mmmyep. I remain unapologetic about it; that is my ship, tirelessly built with my own two hands and almost nothing predating me to influence interpretation, lovingly crafted exactly as I see it and convincingly enough to interest a handful of other folks. Thankfully none of the people leaving occasional kudos on those fics these days are raising a stink about the 'problematic' elements.

What is your favourite crack ship? Lord of the Lost's Judas album gave me serious serious Jesus/Judas vibes, but that's not really crack so much as quote-unquote blasphemy. I am going to steal Seiya's answer of Tony the Tiger x The Grinch, because I am hard-pressed to think of anything else that would qualify.

What is the couple you read the most fanfics about? Currently? Dreamling. I tend to hyper-focus on one fandom at a time and when I'm lucky enough to ship the popular pairing, there is Far Too Much to spend my limited free time on and little reason to invest any of it elsewhere.

What do most of your ships have in common? I think the broadest way to sum up the widest swathe of similarities is that I generally enjoy a dynamic of Reserved x Exuberant, or to pull back a little further still, of Complementary Opposites.

What do you absolutely hate in a ship? Hate very rarely enters into it. Lack of chemistry, I guess? But that is a very subjective criterion. For every 'But why would you ship them?' I can ask, someone will have an answer.

Tagging, no obligation, tag me in your existing post if you've just done it: @danikatze, @zalia, @esperata, @staroftheendless, @rooftopwreck, @aquilathefighter, @chaosheadspace, @ginoeh, @macavitykitsune

"friends" roger Taylor fanfic {part 1}

this is inspired off an anime I heard about I don't know what's it is called but you might know it when you read this lol, enjoy!!

it was a calm windy and cold morning and you woke up to the sound of your annoying alarm clock blasting in your ears. you snuggled the warm bedsheets closer to your freezing skin. you had to go to class today and you were not looking forward to it. as you stumbled out of bed you got ready slowly.

you walked out your dorm to the loud hallway, it was beginning to be a irritating day till you saw his face. his dreaming face. Daniel. you had such a big crush on Daniel, it was a bit obsessive. his beautiful dark hair and green eyes drew you in from a planet away and you couldn't help but stare. everything was perfect about him expect one thing, his bestfriend roger. you hated roger, you could seriously strangle him at any moment. why? you may ask. all he did was make your life hell front and back. he was such a smug snob with his stupid blonde hair and wide grin.

as you walked past them with your head down roger called out. "hey, you going to class nerd". "shut up roger, your just jealous cause I'm actually smart" you whispered while walking past. he laughed "I heard that". you finally got to class and stacked your books on your desk.

after class finished you walked out the hall only to see his dreamy face again. it was Daniel and he was walking towards you. shit shit shit. "uh hey y/n, right?" he smiled. "yea, is there something I could um help you with" you asked nervously. "uh no I actually just wanted to apologize for roger, I know he's being a dick to you, just sorry he's giving you a hard time" he explained. "oh roger, yeah that's nothing, I really don't care if he gives me a hard time, no worries" you lied, truly you thought of ways you could kill him every second.

Daniel placed his hand in your shoulder "well if it ever does make you mad you can tell me" he then put his hands in his pockets and walked away. you blushed, smiled and looked down. you couldn't contain the butterfly's that had entered your stomach. as you were taking in the moment another hand touched your shoulder but it wasn't a hand you liked.

"hello y/n" roger smiled smugly.

"ugh what do you want roger I'm not in the mood" you sighed.

"look I need a favor" he said being a bit more serious.

you laughed "why- why would I do a favor for YOU?"

"just hear me out please" he sighed

"go on, but I'm not doing shit for you" you laughed again.

he rolled his eyes "your friends with ava right?"

"yeah...why?" you questioned.

"well I was wondering if you could set me up with her?" he rubbed his hands together with a desperate voice and puppy dog eyes.

"ha, and why would i do that?" you asked.

"because I know something about you, I know you like Daniel so, if you set me up with ava ill set you up with Daniel" he smiled confidently.

you crossed your arms "who said I like Daniel?"

"no-one needs to speak your eyes say everything, all you do is stare at him and really its adorable to see how flustered you get when you speak with him" he teased.

"fine, maybe I do" you furrowed your brow.

"hm so, do we have a deal...? you set me up with ava and ill make sure Daniel is just as head over heels for you as you are for him, c'mon shake on it!" he put his hand out.

you shook his hand "your such a dick, you know that?"

"uh huh!" he said happily as he waltzed off.

this was going to be interesting.

G, L, Y, U for the asks!

Thanks!

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

Lol, boy, and how! I live and breathe otp’s. My very first otp was probably Seto Kaiba x Serenity Wheeler, from YuGiOh. They were the first fanfic I ever read on fanfiction.net, lol. First otp ship I ever contributed to fandom for was Sesshomaru x Kagome from Inuyasha, where I wrote my very first fics and did fanart.

Though if we want to get really cheeky, I could argue that my very first ship was the knife and the spoon, from cutlery and making them kiss as a tiny kiddo, lol.

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Hmmm, this is weirdly tough for me, not the complimenting part, but because I have a weird metric of how I view characters. Hm, let’s go with… Mizora. I’m overall neutral on her but I appreciate her petty bitch energy. If I were a cambion, I’d like to be as ambitious as Raphael but in reality I’d be like Mizora and I do appreciate a good petty play. It’s the Gemini in me, lol.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

I have many favorites but I’ll go with Harley Quinn from Batman, Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls, and since brainrot be real, Raphael from BG3.

Harley Quinn has been a favorite character of mine since I was a kid watching Batman the Animated Series. I’ve always been a fan of theatrical aesthetics (circus, theatre, commedia dell’arte, etc) and she’s just such a fun character. I’ve really liked over the years how she’s waffled between villain and anti-hero and how she’s not a perfect victim. Also Harley Quinn x Poison Ivy is a top tier ship.

Grunkle Stan because one of my biggest weaknesses in fiction is a sad morally grey older man but who is also protective of his family. He’s fucked up in his life so many times but he keeps trying. I’m a sucker for that. But also he’s just a great character. He’s made me laugh and cry and honestly that’s just a good criteria for any character. I’ve 100% played the fanmade Grunkle dating simulator and no regrets or shame.

And speaking of morally grey, or in this case, completely terrible older men. Raphael, my beloved. I played BG3 in its EA days and the very first time he appeared I was smitten. His voice obviously but also he had my favorite introduction into the game (and still does). The fact that his devil transformation involved a snazzy belt and different shoes is what really sold him to me. He’s so stupidly extra and it calls to my theatre kid nature, lol. I do miss the EA days of him roasting our camp 5 sec after inviting himself.

All that being said, I just enjoy his character within the game too. I like that he’s obviously a villain but he’s chill with us. In part because he wants something from us but I like that it kinda transforms for him into a double obsession. Obviously, crown comes first but there’s something just so delightfully fun about him writing about our character in his journal (entry number 2 is the stuff ships are made of). That he’s a cringefail theatre kid with daddy issues while being thousands of years old is partly what makes him endearing. I loved finding his fanfiction in his house and I love how stupidly bad his hell domination plan is (you’re doing amazing sweetie).

And one other bonus to liking his character is I got to make new friends and moots in particular in his corner of the fandom. 💖

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Hm, I’d say currently, Helluva Boss, I’ve got a couple friends into that show. It’s certainly on my list of things to eventually sit down and watch but for now I see it through what my friends show me. Looks good though!

Sorry for once again leaving a big meta-rant at your doorstep in the middle of the night, but after the last one I remembered one more thing about how AfO/Shigarakis Quirks are handled that REALLY pisses me off:

The narrative itself moves away from the concept of Quirks and to simple "MOAR POWERRRR!!" instead. Like you said, AfO being utterly uncreative with his Quirks is already annoying, but that could be salvaged by him being a chuuni-loser that got his lunch money stolen one too many times. You could make that part of the character and be his weakness.

The problem is that the larger narration itself has started leaning into the same direction. And I apologize in advance for bringing it up, but we need to talk about the Stars and Stripes Arc for a second here, specifically about how Shigaraki shrugs off just about anything she throws at him. I am not going to delve into how he survives New Order, its stupid, everyone knows its stupid, thats not what I want to complain about (today at least). I mean all the other attacks, like the Laser-barrage or the Missiles:

How exactly does Shigaraki survive those? Well, he just does. No sign of a trick, no mention of a Quirk that was used specifically for this, nothing. The Manga itself says: "Well, he survived Endeavour, obviously he will survive this." It's literally one step away from saying "Well, he is the BBEG, clearly he isn't going to die here."

Like, yes, we get it, he is the BBEG, he is not going to lose this fight, Stars and Stripe is nothing more than a glorified plot-device to make him seem more dangerous and powerful in this arc. And no, I will never stop being salty about that! (And I am so glad that I was introduced to S&S by fanfic first!)

My point being is that you could be creative here, have him use specific Quirks or combinations of them to avoid/nullify certain attacks and gain the upper hand! Not only would he be more threatening, the fight would feel less like b*llshit in general. In canon, he wins due to a combination of dumb fucking luck, persistence, and more dumb fucking luck. You can essentially see the hand of the author in the background!

And that is the most frustrating thing: It essentially "agrees" with AfO's approach. One of the core pillars of the setting is being disregarded for simple Diabolis ex Machina / Power of Anime nonsense. And thats just a shame.

I've seen someone write a brief analysis of the Star and Stripe arc with the conclusion that it was written specifically to demonstrate that brute force wasn't going to cut it. More specifically, that All Might at his prime is not the person for the job. So here's a umber One Pro Hero with incredible Super Strength trying to overpower AFO and failing, to demonstrate that Midoriya's approach of saving Shigaraki is better.

So how's the current arc going?

Hm. They seem to be. Hitting All For One very hard.

The narrative keeps accidentally validating All For One's bullshit philosophy and I'm so tired.

hello, hottie-cutie!! good morning!! how did your live sound check go? 'wait you read genshin fanfics?' hm well.. these pretty boys.. also idk anything about ekaterina but the fact my name is in genshin?? 'i have met a bunch of hannahs in college' ive just imagined a bunch of yous looking at each other like in that spider-men meme TT 'we all call kitties in the ph mingming or muning' oooh it's cute. you can call me this hfjdjd if you want. we call cats with kiskis (hope you meant it bc idk if i got you right) 'i think it has to do with the sound they make' yeah ig every language has words that imitate animal's sounds but interpret them differently. it's a cute and amusing difference. 'i hate raising my voice' so true. since i only knew how my mom expressed anger through raising her voice, now i do it unintentionally?? so i try to just not talk.. i'm really proud of your good job at calming yourself and all. it's admirable. this world is too angry. 'i hate angriness so much.' so true. 'im so annoyed im making everything so long' it's totally fine. you have life beside tumblr and it like.. takes time. so everything's fine. take your time. it's not a job or some real responsibility to have strict deadlines. dont forget to enjoy it all! it's exciting to know youre writing modern au (ok can we say wfal? anything i'm running out of symbols TT). hope it's not overwhelming or too much. 'also ive been trying not to curse' curse *devil emoji* no but if it's your goal or kind of a challenge for yourself, i respect it and hope you'll do well. but cursing isnt really bad! it's a big part of language's vocabulary so i see it as a real crime to forbid it. 'i was checking to see if you sent me a message and i was like 'oh i didnt get a message today’ ghfjdkdj lol it's funny how i've been only sending you the message when (as i learned later) you had already got up. like it was 7:40 in philippines? 'pls dont forget i will always reply to you' TT arent you cute?? thanks TT love you TT i cant really help my anxiety but im trying to calm myself with your kind words, thanks for you patience TT 'OMG YES I GOT THE NEW CHARACTER LOOK' OMG congratulations!!! so happy for you! hes hot. rip for his weakness. yk men are just never enough, its not your fault. 'i only play it to kill the enemies and to explore AND TO GET CHARACTERS' respectable. ig enjoyment is the aim of playing games? so if you're satisfied with it it's perfect. i'm really lucky my bestie didn't continue to play genshin bc the last time she liked a game, she made me download phasmophobia... and my laptop was hardly even alive... 1) it wasnt hbo it was a fucking COMPLEX SUBSCRIPTION on a russian idk browser? it has its own system with the plenty of services including the one that gives access to hbo. it just was the one they offered me to try fro free TT 2) and they NEVER replied me. no im not crying. suddenly i've read some articles on the wiki of ice and fire and all of the english cursing words are too soft to describe this PIZDETZ. the only thought i had was imsorryimsorry. like i knew about the dance of the dragons and all but later?? i still want to read the books later but it was just... idk i was just a little shocked and A LOT regretful.. i've also just started watching helluva boss bc i've seen a lot of shorts with the dad/daughter moments that made me pour my heart out with tears. daddy issues strike bad. though i've come to hate daddy kink in a way? not screaming it's disgusting why do you want to fuck your dad way but reading a pretty fic, seeing 'tell me whos your daddy' 'oh daddy fuck me harder' and closing the tab silently way. guess my daddy issues conflicted with the insecurities about being too big and these fic's always teeny-tine sweet readers... not my type ig. sugar daddies though? yeah i liked that modern sugar daddy au yk... money sounds attractive af. hope it wasn't too much!! glad to know i bring your mood up. have a nice day!! good luck with the classes (online or offline or whatever)!! love you! take care and get some rest before the homework <з

'i was checking to see if you sent me a message and i was like 'oh i didnt get a message today’ ghfjdkdj lol it's funny how i've been only sending you the message when (as i learned later) you had already got up. like it was 7:40 in philippines?

'i only play it to kill the enemies and to explore AND TO GET CHARACTERS' respectable. ig enjoyment is the aim of playing games? so if you're satisfied with it it's perfect. i'm really lucky my bestie didn't continue to play genshin bc the last time she liked a game, she made me download phasmophobia... and my laptop was hardly even alive...

i've also just started watching helluva boss bc i've seen a lot of shorts with the dad/daughter moments that made me pour my heart out with tears. daddy issues strike bad. though i've come to hate daddy kink in a way? not screaming it's disgusting why do you want to fuck your dad way but reading a pretty fic, seeing 'tell me whos your daddy' 'oh daddy fuck me harder' and closing the tab silently way.

9 AND 29 AND 30 FOR THE AO3 WRAPPED

HELLO

9: ohhhhhh…… hmmmm… celltw again who is surprised but like. i swear i wrote so much for them. i def tend to choose one ship and write like 9000 things for them even tho i want to write more for others. the brainrot. u get it. they make me feel insane.

29. OH UM. HM. this is hard. i have written a LOT this year like on average more than any other year. actually in 2022 i only posted 3 things. but hm. for some reason im thinking of this: “All the time, Pac feels like a prey animal. Wide eyed, starstruck, shivering in stunning headlights as the truck comes up on him. He feels useless. There is no unlived universe where he doesn’t end up glassy eyed and limp between teeth. He has to believe this, because if there is, the question becomes: why did it happen in this one?” from this. which is like wow it's my own line but why did i hav to sit down LOL

30. u kno what this is a good question bc i feel like this year i have had a lot of surprises. i mean in general people liking my stuff and commenting is always a lovely surprise <33 and flutters eyelashes not to be SAPPY on main but. some new friends i have made thru fanfic hav been the biggest and best thing that's happened prob bc (wait this sounds rly pathetic) i don’t really um hav any friends much less ones who r into writing or mcyt or wtv i like so its been fun just chatting n stuff n doing exchanges n writing together or wtv UM YEAH
