#sorry i got sappy at the end

[sugoi-writes]

Just want to say I really like how you write Alastor in your smutty pieces! I see him more often than not written in full control, which is fun, but I also love seeing him fall apart. 🥲 You bring a really great balance to him actually being in control and slowly slipping out of it as the story goes on.

I just read the scent fic and the Saint Alastor one as well and they were both *chef’s kiss*! Do you post on AO3 as well or just on Tumblr? Keep up the great work, I’m excited to read through the rest of your masterlist! x

That's it, that's my reaction

Jk jk, of course ♥️

Firstly: I'm framing this. We are holding hands. I am your friend now. Please accept my love.

Secondly, thank you? 🥹😭 I love seeing the Fall of Man, especially HIM. I may be alone in thinking this: but Alastor isn't perfect; he's still a lil ole sinner at the end of the day. His shell is penetrable, I just KNOW it. I work with and know people of all types, ages, backgrounds, professions. No matter how perfect someone seems to be, or how "in control" they are... there's always a tipping point! So I enjoy exploring that too! Besides, if Alastor got his way all the time, he'd be bored! Extremely so!!! So why not spice up his life with a bit of a challenge, yknow? (If you balance it with his victories, you got yourself a very, very happy Radio Demon).

Also: sadly, I don't have an AO3! As old as I am, I totally should. Maybe I'll join the waitlist and hop on there too! 😭 (may be an easier was to archive my random BS... LOL)

I'm so glad you enjoyed those works, too! They're always fun to write! I'll be rolling out some larger-scale works very soon. ♥️🥹 I hope you'll be around to see, but if not, as my blog bio always says: please enjoy your visit!

Wishing everyone a very happy Pride month!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Also wishing every Jewish person a double happy Pride month. I know we're going through a hard time, and many of us won't be able to attend Pride events irl, especially the people who look visibly Jewish.

Personally, it breaks my heart that I haven't been able to go to Pride events that I've been going to for years. But either I go as fully myself, or I don't go at all.

Lastly, it's been an amazing experience and an honor helping organize our own Queer Jewish Pride month. I hope I can make it as positive and memorable as possible. Any moment I'm helping the Jewish community find joy is a moment I am truly proud of. You have all given me so much, and I hope to be able to do the same for the rest of my life.

I love you all, happy Pride month and Shabbat Shalom 💜

sorry if you've already mentioned but what (re?)ignited your love of comics/x-men/cherik? curious because there are so many different adaptations of them

i think im gonna speak for a few (or a lot of) people when i say that TL;DR the wolverine x deadpool movie that came out this summer is what pulled me back into comics and i COULD leave it there but i will go into excruciating and unnecessary detail instead because i love an origin story and i love oversharing.

under the cut tho because im nice sometimes (there's also wxdp doodles in here. if you want to see that)

ironically (and probably commonly), growing up i was more of an avengers kid. Kinda. Loosely <- binge watched the cartoons and movies and read copious amounts of comics and fics and i am hoarding fanart in my old dresser as we speak ok 'loosely' is a modest lie.

embarrassingly i remember getting into discus cause of captain america LMAO so yeah needless to say i was a Humble Fan- me joining my school's comic class/club didnt help either (shoutout to my teach from that she was the realest one out there for. A Multitude of reasons). she definitely is was inspires me to even draw still and make comics and i often think bout the tips i learned from her class tbh she was great

back to the movies t and comics tho, i got into em because my brother would offer to take me and that's how we'd hang out (i rarely saw movies in theaters and i even more rarely went anywhere as a teenager. still kinda like that today tbh ooops) and yk. it just snowballed after that.

my brother and i have always liked comics- he just more than me for a while (though he still very much loves comics and As We Know From My Posts we still talk about them whenever i see him To An Exhausting Degree)

durin then i was really into stony and i have a few surviving doodles i made but those are between me and god. and anyone who asks tbh LOL

'snap can you make this related to x-men again this is long' ok so fast forward to This Summer again I Still Don't Really See Movies but my brother offered to take me and this was the first time i'd actually seen an x-men movie in full

as a kid i only remember seeing the 'perfection' scene between erik and raven in first class while i was channel surfing. pretty sure i changed the channel after seeing mystique naked cause i was scared my parents would get mad at me if they caught me watching it LOL

BUT MOVING ON As A Kid i think it's also natural you'll sometimes watch 92 if it's on And I Did though evidently it didn't stick too hard (i do remember really liking beast and gambit though.... still do really): my knowledge of x-men was. INCREDIBLY sparse. like diabolically so so i didnt have too much expectations (aside from the fact i vaguely liked deadpool beforehand).

tbh i dont know why my bro never took me to see any of the x-men movies. it's not like he doesn't Also like x-men (90% sure nightcrawler's his favorite but my brother will be caught dead saying he has absolute favorites like that)- he owns a bitch load of deadpool comics/omnibus sets too (of which ive read over the years and reread this year) but Shrug moving on

Much Like Most Of The Internet i fell down the rabbit hole that way. i have some doodles i made a couple days after seeing WxDP that i now have an excuse to throw at all of you Look And Perceive

and so. As I Do. i got curious and told myself i'd binge watch all the x-men movies the week before i went back to school And Then I Did ft. My Brother Sometimes and then i said i'd binge watch all of '92 and And I Did That ft. My Brother Sometimes But Less So and now we're here. currently watching Evolution...

once i got to school i realized i lived near a comic shop and started getting into the comics that way (the first ones i got since going down this rabbit hole was Magneto Was Right!, The Resurrection of Magneto, and The Trial of Magneto. if you were curious !!!!! clearly i didnt care too much about context i just needed to see My Guy jelvejlkvj i have no regrets and Evidently ive read more since)

i'm pretty sure what dragged me into cherik specifically was the fact i saw a clip of The Famous ending to 92 where erik's aghast at the notion jean even has to question his love for charles. i think that was what officially had me refocus my lens on them: not a single poolverine thought after that LOL (all the cherik posting i saw on twitter definitely helped too but that was the nail in the coffin for any other interests i had: i was locked into cherik and x-men in general now)

that clip specifically, i was surprised at the fact they- frequently even- have the x-men franchise say erik loves charles and vice versa so bluntly. even if it's not meant to be romantic, i fear im just a fan of how casually the word's thrown around with them two and i got tender bout it all. Then Yk. i just live for the drama. the hilarity even. the sincerity .... they make me sick if i think of them too long so im gonna end it here

before i go tho ironically enough, the first x-men issue i owned was This one (story a this is that while stuck in some wacko dimension charles accidentally gets himself trapped in logan's mind while utilizing his astral projection. if you were curious). pretty sure i got it for free with another comic set i got years ago since our old comic shop loved to do that, but it's poetic aint it. maybe ill doodle something referencing it..

i should probably look into finishing this arc someday im Dummy curious to even know how it started and how it ends.....

hello! just curious, when was the first time you saw jeremy in something—and was that what started the obsession, or was it something else? 👀

Welllll I dipped into the slippery slope of a casual Jeremy YouTube spiral at a fairly normal love at first listen (obviously) *wow I love this man's voice* level but quickly escalated into a deep dive that created the [insert adjective of your choice] person before you. 😊

Newsies was the first proper full performance I watched 💖🗞️ Naturally I watched it at least 3 times within the first two days because truly that is the only way to do it, right? And then I pretty much consumed all I could find in a short span so it's a bit of a blur.

He definitely hit full *this is my coping mechanism* within a few months by early 2018 and I finally joined Tumblr that summer to provide an outlet for myself so my less committed family and friends would still like me. 😆

Disappeared for a while but my obsession didn't ever calm down so much as life just really beat down my capacity to yell about him like this as much in the past few years. So grateful to have finally started feeling a little bit more like myself (extra loud JJ obsession included though I'm not sure everyone appreciates that part as much 😆) and for finding some of my best friends through my love for him (and having them stick by me though the incredibly hard stuff 💗)

and for finally being able to see him live this year when I really, really needed to believe in dreams come true again. 🥹💖

Thanks for stopping by to ask! 💖

What about you? 👀

Zack and Cloud, "You forgot to say the magic word." xD

Cloud was so used to no one paying attention to him that it threw him for a loop when someone suddenly did. 

The fact that this someone was a SOLDIER 1st class didn’t hurt. Or maybe it did. They’d known each other for months and he still had no idea how to act around Zack sometimes. 

Luckily, this never seemed to deter Zack. In fact, he was incredibly adaptable to Cloud’s…Cloud-isms. 

For the first few week’s they’d known each other, Cloud couldn’t help but flinch or stiffen up whenever Zack threw an arm around him or otherwise touched him. It wasn’t like he thought Zack would hurt him - completely the opposite - but a lonely childhood on top of a (mostly) friendless life in Shinra meant that he simply wasn’t used to friendly gestures like that. 

So when Zack eventually noticed the flinching and hesitance, he - without any preamble - would hover for a second before he grabbed Cloud in a half-hug or whatever. “Yeah?”

The fact that Zack actually paid enough attention to realize he had to give a little warning warmed Cloud’s heart in a way that he couldn’t quite describe.

And of course, his answer was always the same.

“Yeah.”

Of course it was different on the battlefield if they needed to push each other out of the way or something, but when they were just hanging out, the permission was always asked and granted.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

It happened when Cloud found out he hadn’t passed the SOLDIER exam and Zack held out his arms. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.” As though he would disagree to a tight hug that made everything seem better, at least for a minute.

It continued happening even with how close they got. Holding hands. Manly cuddling as they watched a movie. Feeding him a piece of the dumbapple pie that Kunsel had dropped off (if the guy ever got out of SOLDIER, he really needed to open a bakery). Every time, it was always the same.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

There was just one time Zack forgot to ask, during a late night when they had nowhere else to be next morning and vulnerability and anticipation hummed through them; a buzz that’d only gotten louder the more they were together.

Cloud’s heart pounded wildly as Zack moved closer, their breaths hitching at the same moment. He froze a little, but then smiled a bit at Zack’s wide-eyed mako gaze. 

“You forgot to say the magic word.”

There was a pause before Zack couldn’t help but laugh. The smile still sat on his lips as he moved closer to Cloud, just a hair away. “Yeah?”

Cloud just breathed out one word, the only response he ever wanted to give to this man, before their lips finally met.

“Yeah.”

it makes me sappy because like. it's so odd having an account that's been around since you were 16 and you can see it (<- he's on the mass post editor and being struck with thoughts and visions)

The first Splatoon game turned 8 yesterday!

[rolilith]

ok sorry for getting emotional about lilith again but dialogue from the fight for sanctuary dlc

quest: the dawn of new pandora

an echo you can find in the backburner

quest: paradise found

like lilith having to fill roland's shoes after his death whether she wants to or not because everybody's looking at her to make the executive decisions and expecting her to be just as capable....then comparing that to dialogue at the end of the dlc where she's starting to prove herself to the others but she's still being held up to a standard.......im putting my head in my hands

Rey’s New Movie

I haven’t been on Tumblr yet since the announcement so now I can finally go crazy:

REY IS GETTING A NEW MOVIE!!!!!! YAAAAAAAS!!!!

I honestly keep pinching myself. This doesn’t feel real. I keep waiting for someone to say it’s a super delayed April Fool’s Joke. But the more days that go by the more I realize that this is ACTUALLY happening! Rey is going to be on the big screen again!! We get to see more of her!!

I can’t even begin to describe the level of vindication/validation that this brings me. After so many years of relentless hate and toxic nonsense from the fanbase, my love and enjoyment of Rey’s character feels like it has finally paid off. Despite the negative outcry that the trilogy and this character has received, somehow the love prevailed. Somehow, the joyful impact that Rey has brought to the world is louder and more powerful...and the thought of that being the undeniable truth brings a tear to my eye.

Disney/Lucasfilm looked at this character and realized there was more potential. That despite what the haters had to say, she had a story that was worth continuing and worth telling. I think this is an incredibly bold and brave decision on their part, and I’m so happy to see them make a choice that isn’t trying to cater to the angry “fans”, but displays the firm belief that this is an important, wonderful character who deserves to be brought back no matter what.

I don’t think a release date has been announced yet, but I’m guessing it’s going to be at least a couple years until this movie comes out. And you can bet your ass I’m going to be the first person in that line up to see it! Until then, I will continue to love and defend Rey as I always have, now knowing that so many other people believe in her and are equally excited to see how her journey continues :)

YOU'RE THE SECOND PERSON TO REBLOG THAT DATE POLL AND ASK WHERE THE WAFFLE HOUSE OPTION LMAO as a waffle house employee can u pls explain why people are taking people out on dates to waffle house 😭

HI I JUST SAW THIS SORRY

i think the thing is about Waffle House is. it's Waffle House. you can sit and watch the cooks make your food. it's open. the employees (from my experience at least) are so nice and welcoming. you can joke with them while you wait for your food. other customers join in on the conversation, sharing their own little quips and stories. it just. feels cosy and nice and welcoming. it's open 24 hours a day. the food is awesome. they sell waffles for fuck's sake. what's a more loving meal than a waffle made with care and joy? what's a more warm memory than when you cringed at how sticky the syrup container is only to relish in the taste of it on a warm waffle with your partner sitting across from you, gorgeous in the daylight pouring through the windows? what's better than that?

[didsomeonesayventus]

also hewwo i’ve vaguely returned to fic writing thanks to engage and as part of getting better at promoting my work uuhhh here (throws breadcrumbs in one convenient post) 

All the following center around M!Alear/Alcryst (alearyst? alcrear? Alal? the utterly unhinged suggestion of alal-) because oops My Favorite Dynamic, generally written as standalone

Rutilated- 3.7k, taking place between chapters 14-15, slight focus on events in chapters 10-11. Insomnia from stress turned awkward flirting turned emotional comforting.

Intergrowth- A series of 6 drabbles totaling 2.5k that take place from chapter 7 through post-game in sporadic leaps. Covers a broad spectrum of crushing angst to fluff, arranged chronologically kind of like an outline of the relationship on the side of the main plot, built around the idea of moments where they held hands

Thanatophobia- 1.3k, post-game. Alear has a nightmare because (kiragi vc) war is heck! especially when you’re dragon jesus and go through protagonist bullshit that people somehow expect you to be just Okay With.

so yeah oops finally found fic topics to latch on to and remembered I might dare have a writing following/finding people who want to read over this way so if u find this post rad or interesting please have at it and enjoy!
