601,692
3) What fandoms do you write for?

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i love responding to comments! it blows my mind that there are people reading words i wrote and taking time out of their day to be so sweet! <3
6) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
probs you hurt my head like cheap red wine
7) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
queen of crabs, it's the silly awkward first date antics odesta deserves <3
8) Do you get hate on fics?
no (thank god)
9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
i tried writing E rated smut once but one thing about me is that intimacy makes me laugh out fucking loud (like i always try to do bits like im wearing the crown of clowns it can get very awkward) so whenever i write anything smut-adjacent im incapable of writing it sexy i just kinda feel silly the entire time. perhaps its the asexual in me
10) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
nah. but i think an umbrella academy and succession crossover would fuck
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
nope
13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
nope
14) What's your all-time favorite ship?
percabeth <3 (sorry odesta but on my first read thru of the hunger games i hated annie for no fucking reason and developed a hc that johanna and finnick were having an affair.. but that is a convo for another day. LOVE them now tho obv, but ive been shipping percabeth since day 1 theyre so cute and in luv)
15) What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

sometimes when i write emotions i feel like as a reader you can look at it and go "oh okay. i know that feeling" which is awesome
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
i am in love with run on sentences. "no its just a stream of consciouness writing style" baby you just wrote something that's mostly just em dashes and semicolons and parenthesis. also i don't know how to describe stuff so thank god for the internet bc i link outfits like my life depends on it. ive always struggled w writing locations too. and ive been wanting to get better at writing bits
18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
i tried doing this with a mags fanfic i wrote bc i hc that d4 spoke spanish before the first war. there is literally only one sentence in spanish though bc i knew for a fact the phrasing was correct (at least in a casual, conversational setting) but i do think it's really cool when people write d4 characters having entire convos in spanish even though im not confident enough in my langauge skills to do it myself. also i just don't think d4 would know how to speak spanish in canon times, prob just affectionate terms like mija/o or mano or chula. like stuff that doesn't rlly affect how the capitol understands them. i get into this in the fic, but i think even by mags’ generation spanish would stop being a common language in d4. like i love the sentiment of her carrying a piece of that w her but i don’t think the capitol would let them get away with that and it’s also Not Easy to remember how to speak a language you only learned as a child and then never used for the rest of ur life, which is what i imagined happened with her + her gen. like. me and my siblings only know english bc the moment my dad moved here he was like “okay. English Time” and that stemmed from the pressure to assimilate can you imagine if the actual law got involved. anyway this answer got long but i have a lot of thoughts about this sorta stuff, esp in d4
19) First fandom you wrote for?
percy jackson lol
20) Favorite fic you've ever written?
don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. tbh this answer changes all the time any fic im currently working on is automatically my fav lol
idk why i feel a bit silly about tagging people directly, so i am informally tagging anyone who wants to do this sorry i hope this isn't a cop out <3. ily

If you're looking for writing critique, i think your biggest issue might be repitition! using the same phrasing really close together + not a lot of variation in sentence structure can make the flow feel really stiff and awkward. For example:
"Would you like me to kiss it better?" The words kind of slipped out stupidly. He almost instantly regretted them but, as he did any time he said something he said something he instantly realized was stupid, played it off smoothly.
the word "stupid" is used in some form twice, instantly twice, and stupidly, smoothly, and instantly have a repeated -ly ending, creating a bit of clutter for such a short paragraph. Alliteration can be great, but it should be more intentional and used to create a specific atmosphere.
vs
"Would you like me to kiss it better?" The words kind of slipped out, sounding like an idiot. He almost instantly regretted them but, as he did any time he said something he said something he realized was stupid, played it off smoothly.
see how the second just flows a bit better without much change? your brain isnt tripping at every repeated phrase, and each part of the sentence has a unique feel.
You could also stand to shave off some filler words! Things like almost, kind of, and some of the middling phrases that come out naturally when we speak can make the narration feel less impactful.
"Would you like me to kiss it better?" The words slipped out. He instantly regretted them but, as he often did, played it off smoothly.
Additionally, phrases like "the words slipped out stupidly" are repetitive: "slipped out" already implies an awkward, unintentional vibe to the dialogue that makes any variation of stupidly/like an idiot redundant. "as he did anytime he realized what he said was stupid" creates that same redundancy with "he instantly regretted it", which already implies the phrase was stupid and he didnt like it.
Trimming helps a lot with clarity! It can feel scary to watch your word count go down, but taking a second and third pass at editing, trimming off and rearranging your sentences to see what makes the most sense and provides the smoothest read can really help!
(of course, there are times where cluttered, awkward, or nervous-seeming narration can help build atmosphere, but just as a general rule)
Sorry if this seems like a lot! I really, really love editing haha, its my favourite part of the writing process! I hope these tips help, though, and if they do and you ever want a beta reader or some specific help with something youre working on, i would LOVE to help out ^-^
OH SORRY ANON I MEANT TO ANSWER THIS SOONER BUT IM A DUMMY
thank u for the help!!
i do agree reading your edits that like. i do tend to be a bit wordy and awkward at times salkdjflsdkfj thank u again!!!
its def not a lot and sorry for not coming up w a longer reply but!!

hi im a bit late BUT if urstill doing the character thingy Carlos ^_^
IT'S ALRIGHTY DW, and you're not that late! Anyways, CARLOS.
Fav thing about them: He's a very silly guy and i like him and his science Least fav thing about them: URM, that's a good question actually.... I don't know... Fav line: "Hey sweetie, listen, I've just been arrested.", makes me giggle every time brOTP: Him n Nilanjana, dialogue between them in It Devours! was always a joy to read, I absolutely love their friendship! However, I do wish they explored it in the actual podcast itself </3 OTP: Cecilos, ofc nOTP: Unpopular opinion maybe? BUT I DON'T LIKE KEVIN X CARLOS I'M SORRY </3 I really just don't think it works, as it feels very one sided on Kevin's behalf, and Carlos seemed a bit awkward/aloof around him </3 (IF YOU SHIP THEM IDM, I just personally don't because I don't think it works I'M SORRY AGAIN) Random headcanon: This isn't even a headcanon, he's autistic that's just canon Unpopular opinion: Idk if this is unpopular or not but imo he is not skinny, nor super tall, but he's not short either, just average height, maybe a bit taller. He's chubby and 5'9 that's canon to me Song I associate w them: She Blinded me With Scaience by Thomas Dolby. Not really sure why, probably just because science Fav picture: No canon appearance

I have many thoughts about les mis live, and they are all beautiful and complex.
to get it out of the way, things that sucked: the face spotlights were RIDICULOUSLY distracting and ugly use wide spots. the context tidbits are so useless lmao everything is explained in the main songs. it kind of made eponine irritating because she would always appear in these ugly sounding tidbits just to yearn. The surprise is kind of the point. The video effects were kinda distracting BUT also really good which i will expand on later. The tempo was so off, at least to how im used to it. I really dislike how they elongated the notes (though it was impressive tbf). I dislike the weird pauses that were obviously not mistakes. I HATE the line changes. They removed my favorite part of paris look down when the ppl go “whens it gonna end somethings gotta happen now somethings gotta give itll come itll come” then the FANTASTIC fanfare. GOD. Watching it live, i felt act 1 was so rushed — i do think it had abnormally fast tempo… this one’s silly bc it depends on actor intuition but i wish they laughed at the points the characters laugh in the 2010 recording (theres like 3 points that just so perfectly punctuate the sadness). Noticeably awkward staging during rain will help flowers grow. I wish grantaire fell with enjolras SORRY.
Also i wish everyone who talked went to hell, everyone who coughed endlessly took some PILLS, everyone who went up and down the stairs pissed in their seat -_- the worst was when the idiots in front of me (WHO WERE TALKING THE WHOLE SHOOOOOW they were shushed by the usher Three times I need them to be tried for this) were whispering during To love another person is to see the face of god and i wanted to STRANGLE them
anyway, onto the good. And be sure it far outweighs the bad. Great casting, great singing, SUCH a good band, good lighting (spots otherwise). There were no obvious acting missteps that i hear in recordings which was a nice surprise
The set was SOOOOOOOO dynamic and fluid and lighting was used in a simple but CRAZY effective way to morph and splinter the setting. Augh. When the set pushed in during paris, i fell to my kneeeeessss (in my brain). The gate, the barricade, the houses were GORGEOUS
Lighting during the final battle. I wanted to die it was so good. I didnt know or forgot grantaire dies last. I remembered it was voluntary but not like that. Jesus god
There were a lot of surprises in staging acting etc that had me genuinely jump in my seat from shock and delight. I have never acted like that in a theatre, much less for a show ive seen and listened to a MILLION times. Some moments like this: enjolras falling over in the cart and being Dragged out, heart full of love starting so reluctantly (i was DELIGHTED by this it was a nice surprise laugh), the wigs (love), the staging during one day more (god when enjolras is dead center stage haloed by light).... there are so many other moments that had me shook i cant recall rn...
gavroche was so Present in the set, which you really miss in the audio. His little added dialogue bit was my favorite of those. His relationship w grantaire was particularly pronounced, which kinda shifted the source of grantaire’s sacrifice. Ofc there are many reasons he chose to die for the cause, but i hadnt thought one being grantaire seeing the police state for the robbing force it was. Hard yes, but evil. He didnt know it was *evil*. I think that realization was pushed by Gavroche’s killing and something so interesting in the discussion of how sheltered these kids were (or not). Rich boy’s game to play… what did enjloras know…
On the same line, i felt the “message” very strongly seeing it sung at me. Is there a world you long to see… i also felt the faith themes distinctly. Vaguely christian ending lol ill lead you to salvation, the only survivors being a couple. Wait the thenadiers are also a couple. Lol?
On that lot, they were fun and good lol. They changed one of his beggar at the feast lines and it was kind of silly. “this one’s a queer but what can you do” to “this one’s a queer, i might try it too” ????? I dont know if we want to wokeify this guy in particular
There was a part duringggg i think drink with me before grantaire’s verse where both he and enjolras are in the shadows on literal opposite sides of the stage (e is high right upstage, g is low left downstage) and grantaire is staring Right at enjolras. And enjolras turns to him through the first verse. I was watching this going crazy that they actually fanfictionified them i didnt think they would more than ive already seen. There is one movement in particular ive never seen and would have Definitely been in the compilations i watched (lol). This will have its own seperate joke post
Speaking of, watching it live made me realize how Present enjolras and grantaire’s relationship is. Besides the lovey dovey achilles-and-patroclus slash thing, i loooovveeeee their ideological conflict SOOOO much. It is so genuis. So i love that it was center stage when it isnt really in the lyrics (or 2012 film or other adaptations)
And they were both blond. Which was crazy
Javert at the end made me so crazy. Again, the staging — mourning Gavroche, seeing valjean carry marius — shifted how i thought of his suicide as well. I think maybe he had the same awakening as grantaire
Hey guys maybe the police state and prison complex is bad lmfao
The candlesticks at the end ❤️ (this is a bit of hater moment but i was watching the ramin 14 boot and the moment the bishop walks away from him at the end he does the same thing fredric march does where there is a pause and jean is kneeling infront of the bishop and he holds the bishop’s hands to his head in silence and. It is so vulnerable and meaningful and i adore it. And i wish theyd kept that staging)
I always found it weird that eponine is for some reason fantine’s right hand man in heaven. If we’re being haters i still dont like the caricatured costumes and behaviours of “the poor” and “whores” companies. AND they shouldve really tried harder on boy eponine. cut her hair at the very least and mirror her further w fantine -_- well that makes make me like heaven more
This also really made me think about how valjean saw javert as Just A Man, while javert saw himself as The Law. Which they literally say but seeing how they acted around each other cemented it. Javert was so very humanized by his sadness and anger and all that emotion Destroyed him because there is no compassion in the law lol. Maybe there is something wrong with our governments Lol
for a bit that kinda meanders and strays from the main action, they made "heart full of love" et al. really really wonderful. the staging was so great, like marius actually climbing the gate and throwing rocks at her window, cosette running to him, marius and eponine hiding along the gate in times i didnt think they were listing. the thenadier climbs the house set it's so fun
i love that eponine is consistently black. it adds. so much. and i will always judge a production if their eponine is white. this one had a great black actor play her -- her voice was nicely different from the recordings
i liked the video sets, especially when it emphasized character mvmt. sometimes it was bright and looked kind of bad, so the darker the better lol. there was a moment when we dip in the sewers where thenadier enters from upstage center from the darkness of the sewer in the backdrop and it was AWESOME.
OH MY GOD turning -> empty chairs. GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. turning is such an underrated song and they just so beautifully staged it. the all female cast who communicated such different perspectives on the massacre that was a nice change from a monolithic company. and the lights. when i saw theyd set them down, i knew what was coming. and then it came. God. empty chairs. so good. So good.
the choreo during the wedding was great
Enjolras had the red vest. W
god i feel im missing so much. hope i get another cheapo ticket. Eek. im so glad i get to see it at all. limit hit <3

will you tell the story of driving nearly an entire day for a kiss?
Okay it was a little exaggerated 😅
Back in 2021 I, like so many others, was having a bit of a hard time staying alive and I really consider that February to be the lowest point my mental health ever had the displeasure of reaching, plus I was emotionally raw from a previous relationship.
I met someone online around that time who lived down in LA and we quickly formed a fun dynamic where we’d just pretend to fight all the time. I’d send lots of quick lil videos throughout my day but we weren’t dating but we might as well have been.
April rolls around and I’m like “Hey I’m driving 10 hours to go to the Bay Area for a weekend in June, maybe I could visit you in L.A. for the rest of the week?” which is only an extra 6 hours to the trip but 🤷‍♀️ plus it was right after the covid vaccines came out so everything was kinda perfect
June comes, visit my friend, start makin’ my way down, get nervous thinking how I’ve never been so far from home while alone, almost turned back even!! I ended up out in front of their house though and when they came out I was too excited to do anything except smile. After like 30 seconds of awkward talking I lunged for a hug and made them spill their soda water
We went straight to the shed out back behind their house and just were talkin. I couldn’t keep up w/ our Hate Based Dialogue, it felt weird in person so I was just kinda quiet.
They mentioned that they kinda wanted to go to the store and I was like hey cool I’ll come w/ and they said they wanted to go alone and I was just stunned, like my whole person just felt cold as they walked out of the shed leaving me alone. I went to lie down and go to sleep when like a minute later they came back and were like “forgot somethin”
I just was like oh okay cool! and tried to go back to sleep and they immediately were like “that was a bit it was a bit are you sad omg im sorry” and started making fun just like “oh so i leave and your tactic is ‘🥺 im SAAAAAD i will lie down to get sympathy and seem pathetic’ youre a joke” and at that point I was feelin better knowin they were just fuckin around. Their deadpan humor far exceeeded mine which was kinda fun but jesus 😵‍💫
we spent the rest of the day in bed just watching movies while they just gave me a massage for what was like idek how many hours. Let friends know I was safe and that I’m glad I came, fall asleep.
I arrived Monday morning, come wednesday evening I’m crying because I’m like “the weeks half over, what time I have left with them is less than the time I’ve already spent. I don’t want to go home” ‘cause at home I just didn’t feel loved it was all very sad (everything regarding my 2021 home issues have been completely and entirely resolved. Me & my friends are built different)
We spent the first couple o’ days outside in San Diego swimmin’ around and walkin’ at night and sleeping on some pretty uncomfortable concrete then when we got back to LA we just stayed in for the most part ‘cause there was a heatwave and temps were up to like 110 and it just sapped me of all energy. It was nice though we just got to laze around all day in their mom’s shitty house that was falling apart (their mom wasn’t home for the week.)
I was meant to leave Friday so I could go home at a safe pace, but I resolved to stay another day as I didn’t want to fucking leave!! But I had work Sunday so my drive home Saturday had to be in one shot which took me 13 some odd hours ‘cause I had a lead foot and didn’t want to sleep in my car at a rest stop alone and w/o bed stuff
Anyway they talked me out of breaking up with them the following November and proceeded to nearly destroy my life through manipulative guilt trippy bullshit. Great musician though

Title: Inversion
Series: Hannibal (TV/Novel Hybrid)
Rating: Everyone
AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/11994324
Pairing: Clarice Starling/Hannibal Lecter
Summary: Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter role reversal AU. Takes place in Hannibal TV verse after season 1 episode 5. Right now it's a oneshot, but I might write more stories in this verse later.
Serial murderer Clarice Starling, once a shining star of the FBI, is now imprisoned in the Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
---
In the dreary gray of the basement of the Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Hannibal Lecter found himself across a startling pretty and intelligent young woman.
Death Angel Clarice Starling, the tabloids called her.
Clarice Starling, convicted murderer of 7, and killer of serial murderer Jame Gumb, known by the public as Buffalo Bill. That was only counting the ones that the FBI knew of.
Up until her incarceration, Clarice had been a brilliant agent at the FBI. Her teachers constantly scored her at the upper tier of the top 5% in all areas. Her discovery and murder of the high profile serial killer was just a cherry on top. She was the lioness to Will Graham’s hound in Jack Crawford’s pack.
It was this same lauded intellect and ability that allowed her to go uncaptured for years. Although Hannibal had long wished to interview her, his motive for his visit today was...a little more personal.
An orderly offered to take Hannibal’s coat when he entered the front office, which he politely declined. The man mentioned that the director was out at the moment, but would be back very soon and let him into the hospital director’s office.
Hannibal was left standing in the middle of the office and gave only a cursory glance at the gold plaque reading “Dr. Fredrick Chilton”.
The director’s office of the hospital was a room furnished considerably in contrast to the bleak grays and greens of the mental institution. On the wall hung many academic achievements in their ornate frames and waxy parchment, lauding the director with many degrees and accomplishments. This too, Hannibal only spent a few seconds glancing through.
The door behind him creaked. The same orderly from the front office opened the door for in a small, short man with oily hair that reminded Hannibal of a certain pigment secreted by the gall bladder.
“Are you Hannibal Lecter?”
“Dr. Hannibal Lecter.”
“I’m Dr. Fredrick Chilton, director of this hospital.”
Although the man emphasized on the doctor, in the short five minutes Hannibal spent conversing with Chilton in his tasteless office, he learned that the man had no medical degree at all.
“I can see why they sent you,” Chilton tugged his cuffs, his beady eyes narrowing at Hannibal’s tailored designer suit. “Starling rarely gets to see anyone so put together, not in this place. I’d rather not go down myself, you see.”
Hannibal only gave the man a nod. “I’m certain you have your reasons.”
“Indeed I do, she’s a terribly disturbed woman. You wouldn’t expect it, not from such a pretty face. But it’s so rare to get my hands on someone like her, alive. A female serial killer.” Chilton beamed. He reminded Hannibal of a schoolyard boy showing off a prized possession - odious. “She’s housed in the basement ward, where the worst go, under maximum security.
Chilton opened the door to his office, leading Hannibal down the hall to where they would take an elevator down to the lower level, his chatter never stopping as he spoke of all of his cases in the hospital basement.
Hannibal had little interest in Chilton’s collection quest of the vile and sick. Upon exiting the office, his fingers skillfully picked a business card off of the large wooden desk and whisked it into his suit pocket in one fluid motion; Chilton none the wiser.
---
The heavy steel of the gates lowered, making a clattering noise upon contact with the cement floor. Hannibal turned to face Chilton as they reached the basement cells that held the hospital’s more infamous inmates. “Thank you Dr. Chilton. However, I believe it would be best if I faced Miss Starling by myself.”
Chilton stiffened for a moment, before amicably holding out his hand. “You should have told me earlier, I would have sent you with an orderly.”
Hannibal knew, much to his distaste, that the slick shine of the man’s hand was from lanolin. He grasped it for a moment, holding it only as long as society dictated acceptable.
The moment Chilton turned around, Hannibal unfurled his handkerchief from inside his jacket, wiping off the oil in a practiced motion. He then carefully folded the handkerchief and placed it in his pocket opposite to Chilton’s business card.
At the door to the basement stood a different orderly and a prison guard. A nametag with Eric printed on it, gleamed in the fluorescent light of the ceiling lamps of the orderly’s work uniform. Chilton had sent a message ahead of time, thankfully, and Eric was waiting to let Hannibal in.
“Walk straight in the middle.” Eric instructed, his voice reedy in the cool air. He led Hannibal down the hall, the prison guard bringing up the rear. The basement’s ambient atmosphere, contributed partially by the lights within the cells, cast a dim blue against the cement and glass. “They’ll shout and scream as you walk by, it’s nothing personal. The cell you’re looking for is at the end, to the left. Don’t hand her any pens, she has her own. Make sure any paper you hand her is free of any metal. Don’t go near the glass, don’t touch the glass, or we will have to escort you out of here by force. Do you think you’ll need a chair?”
Hannibal appreciated the man’s courtesy and affirmed that he, indeed, would require a chair. Eric walked to one of the lockers at the end and pulled out a folding chair.
As he took a seat, Hannibal observed Clarice in her cell. She kept her back turned to him as she occupied herself with a magazine, seemingly unaware of his arrival. Books, periodicals, and newspapers were piled on the edge of the desk bolted to the wall, as well as the head of the sleeping cot. Mail was scattered to the corner, an afterthought.
The thick partition of solid glass that separated the woman from Hannibal reminded him of a specimen box for insects. Clarice’s fiery hair, incapable of being dulled by the atmosphere of the prison, shimmered like the vibrant color of butterfly scales.
He sat there, for a moment, observing her. When it became clear that Clarice had no intention of acknowledging his arrival, he spoke up. It was quieter at this side of the ward, carrying his words clearly.
“Hello Clarice Starling, I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter, may I speak with you?”
The woman smoothly closed the magazine in her hand and set it down, next to the letters and books. With a practiced twist, she turned to face him, her arms and legs crossing. Clarice Starling sat as if she were in her office at Quantico instead of in a tiny harshly lit supermax unit.
“Hello. Dr. Lecter.” There was a slight ghost of Clarice’s southern accent in those words, dripping a barely concealed amusement in the way she spoke his name. Her stare seemed to weigh him from the other side of the glass, glinting with a great intellect. “Are you here to poke around my head like everyone else?”
“Only if you wish me to, Clarice Starling.” Hannibal kept their gazes locked, speaking her name softly.
Clarice tilted her head.
“If you're not here to deconstruct me, then what are you here for?”
“My own interests and personal research. I read your paper in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Clarice, it is brilliantly written.”
A snort. Clarice leaned back, her hand brushing her vibrant hair back casually. “I’m amazed, Doctor. Exactly how much research have you done on me already?”
“Not much. I’d very much prefer to speak with the genuine person."
Silence. Then Clarice began to tap her fingers, as if thinking. “Personal is it? Dr. Lecter, what reason do I have for answering any of your questions?”
This time, Hannibal graced Clarice with a small curve of his mouth. “If you so happen to wish for a fairer method, perhaps we could do a quid pro quo, Clarice?”
The silence returned, and they sat in mutual solitude. Clarice pondered for a moment, her tapping resuming. Next to her, lay the last month’s copy of Vogue.
“You tell me something and I tell you something. But Doctor, what do you have to offer me?”
There it was. Hannibal kept his eye contact with Clarice and spoke in a measured tone.
“I may be able to bring in Will Graham for a visit, Clarice.”
Clarice pursed her lips, as if she found the idea unappealing.
“And how would you be able to do just that, Dr. Hannibal Lecter?”
“He is my patient, unofficially. Some more recent cases have...upset him. I thought, since he has mentioned you before, that it might help him to center himself to see you.”
Clarice leaned back again, staring at her fingers. She seemed to ponder the offer for a moment.
“Dr. Lecter. Are you aware that the man who put me here was Will Graham? What makes you think that I would have any motive to help him?”
“Because, Clarice, you were the one who surrendered yourself to him.”
Clarice exhaled through her nose and wrapped her arms around herself. That was the one detail that both she and Will had left out during her surrender, left out during all of the court trials. “How is Will?”
Pleased, the curve once again graced Hannibal’s thin lips.
“Not in the best shape, unfortunately. Crawford has chosen to involve him once more in his quest for righteous justice.”
Clarice furrowed her brows. Her last face-to-face talk with Will had been after her prosecution. At that time, Will told her that he chose to formally retire from fieldwork, wishing to focus on teaching at the academy. Did Jack attempt to replace her spot as Will’s anchor with this man in front of her?
How quickly does faith slip away, how weak is the material that trust is made of. Gratitude, as Crawford liked to say, had a short half life.
“I see. Your turn.”
“Why do you kill, Clarice?”
Silence. Then the tentative shift of Clarice’s body as she straightened her posture. “Dr. Lecter, I cannot fathom why you would ask that question.”
“Why do you think I wouldn’t?”
“I am sure my motives have been thoroughly examined and analyzed by the press and scholarly journals. Journals, I am quite sure, that you read.”
“They only talk of simple minded speculation. I doubt, Clarice, that your reasons are as banal as ‘man hating’.”
“What makes you think I don’t hate men?”
“You certainly don’t hate Will. You tolerate Jack Crawford.”
Silence again.
“You’re right. I don’t.” Clarice laced her fingers together. “I do it to silence the screams.”
“What screams, Clarice?”
“The lambs.”
“Why lambs?”
“What case is Will working on right now?”
“He just finished with the Angelmaker. Jack has, for once, allowed him a moment of peace before plunging him head first into another gruesome case.”
“The lambs are from my childhood. My mother sent me to live with my aunt whose husband owned a slaughter barn. Do you think you could tell Will to stop, Dr. Lecter?”
“I believe Crawford already offered him that option. He refused.”
“That-” Clarice stopped herself, her laced hands clenching in anger, as if offering prayer. She grasped that anger, tamping it down with great willpower and used its edge to clear her mind. “I apologize for that, Doctor. Your question?”
“Why did your mother send you to live with your aunt?”
“My father died and there was too many mouths to feed. There’s only so much you can do on a high school education. What was the first case Crawford dragged Will into?”
“A missing girls case. He believed they were being murdered, but lacked evidence.”
“And so he sought out Will Graham, thinking he could find the murderer even with the lack of evidence. How did that turn out?”
“Badly.”
There was a pause - one final time - as their conversation reached its end. Without looking away, never looking away, Hannibal asked one more question.
“What, Clarice, was the memory that led to the screaming of the lambs?”
Like a thin stream, Clarice’s voice quietly slid through the glass partition, through the small holes in the barrier.
Any person other than Hannibal would have had to struggle to hear.
“When I came to the farm, I was happy. I’d always loved animals and my aunt’s family treated me well.”
“You were happy, Clarice. Until you learned they fed out animals for slaughter.”
“Yes. The farm mainly fed out slaughter horses, although they did other animals depending on the season. All of the horses on the farm were either sick or lame. I hadn’t realized it at the time.
“I became attached to a blind mare. None of the slaughter horses on the barn had names. They don’t tell you when you’re feeding them out, so I called her Hannah.”
“What happened to the horse, Clarice?”
“We ran away. It was summer, we could sleep out.”
“Did you lead her or ride her?”
“A little of both. I had to guide her to a fence for me to climb on to ride her. We rode out to a livery stable outside of town. For 20$ a week, I could keep Hannah in the corral. There was enough on me to pay for it but the owner’s wife called the sheriff on me.”
“What happened after?”
“My aunt decided to let me go. They sent me to a Lutheran orphanage after.”
“Did they slaughter Hannah?”
“No, she went with me. The orphanage was on a farm, they let her plow the garden.”
“Why did you run away with the horse?”
“They were going to kill her.”
“Did you know when?”
“No, but she was getting fat.”
“At what time did you set off with Hannah?”
“Early, it was still dark.”
“Something woke you.”
“Screaming. The walls on the farm were pretty bad at keeping sound out and I woke to screaming in the dark. They were slaughtering the spring lambs.”
“And this prompted you to run away.” He spoke it as if it were a fact and not a presumption. It irked her, but Clarice found herself unable to rebut his statement.
“Yes.”
“Yet you still hear them. Are they in your dreams, Clarice? Or do you hear them even when you are awake?”
“Dreams, mostly.”
“Mostly?”
“Sometimes I hear them even after I wake up, even though they couldn’t possibly be real.”
“And does killing stop these screams?”
“Depends. If it’s just killing, no. They stop when I save someone.”
“And then you’re free, for a time. But later you find that you must do it again, to make them stop.”
“Yes.”
Hannibal leaned back, his face still with calm and at peace. Clarice, given time to ponder, wondered what this man wanted. He held no notepad, nor did he ever break eye contact with her. He seemed too proper to wear a wire and Clarice could not see anything on him that would suggest such an instrument. He didn’t even seem to carry a briefcase.
“Thank you, Clarice.” There was warmth in the thank you that had not been present in their earlier conversation. A good-humored crinkle appeared at the edge of his eyes. A genuine smile. “I will be sure to bring Will next time.”
Clarice watched from her side of the glass. Watched as Hannibal stood and gestured to Eric. Watched, as he gave her one last look as the guard led him away. Watched long after the doctor’s silhouette vanished from the hellish basement ward of the Baltimore’s Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

HI HI IM LIKE IN LOVE WITH THAT CHILDE CONFESSING STREAMER OBE SDFYUNI i go soft for your fics. they are So Good TY FOR THE MEDIA IT IS SCRUMPTIOUS.!!! can i req like general daily living while dating streamef genshin men? like , theyve confessed, snd now they live together. reader could also stream!!
streamer! childe, xiao, dainsleif, kaeya x reader
ft— childe, xiao, dainsleif, kaeya warnings— slightly suggestive, fluff!!, long.. kind of went overboard, clingy sleepy men <3 a/n— not be blushing when you called my work scrumptious, and it seems that you enjoy my work, if you do im so glad <3 i hope you enjoy this!! make sure to take care of yourself and stay safe, also i can't stop thinking about how you called my work scrumptious, i literally screamed when i saw your message, im sobbing(in a good way), sliding down the wall dramatically and kissing my screen rn fr
btw reader also streams too!! if you’d rather reader to not be a streamer just ignore those parts(there will also be parts for not streamer! reader) also the first song matches more w/ childe + kaeya and the second song fits well with xiao + dain.
recommend listening to: until i found you - stephan sanchez(sped up) + paano - zack tabudlo(sped up) (LIKE I REALLY RECOMMEND IT)
Tumblr media
streamer! childe x reader
“I would never fall in love again until I found her I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"”
(im sorry, the song is just stuck in my head) <- this is me trying to make you listen to the song.
(come on... listen to itttt)
ahem. but anyways
you and childe have confessed and have officially started to date!! and to be honest, it’s actually pretty fun to be around childe! of course he has always been fun to hang out with but... now that you two are ACTUALLY dating, this “fun” has become much more
okay so have i told you about what childe did to you after you(or he confessed)? no? what a shame..
but basically after you confessed childe full froze and blah blah blah BUT, not only that but he full on lunged at you while wrapping his arms around your body, his hand on your head to make sure you didn’t injure your head from falling backwards. he nestled himself deep into the crook of your neck while sighing <3
it was kind of an awkward pose but hey, you weren’t complaining ;)
“this isn’t a dream right?” “nooooo?” “good.”
childe then looks at you, he leaned in for a kiss but he made sure to look at your face to see any sign of discomfort but instead he found you leaning in as well
he took that as a sign to just go for it(IT WAS A SIGN!!) and kissed you on the lip, it was a very passionate kiss, not an over exaggerated kiss.
the kiss lasted more than he or you expected but you two weren’t complaining, after registering the fact that childe literally kissed you, you became red from embarrassment, hiding your face with your hands but childe is quick to stop you by holding onto your wrists and oh lord
the face he gave you made you melt inside and out, he looked so soft. he looked absolutely in love, no.. madly in love.
“why are you trying to hide your face? was the kiss too good?~” “shut up! and the kiss was good okay!!”
your response took childe back by surprise as you never really said stuff like that but he didn’t mind <3 he just pecks your cheeks and helps you sit back up before hugging you, for hours.
(^ goes for the same if childe confesses to you but your.. childe, OR if you’re shy then the dialogue can be reversed)
NOW LETS GET INTO THE GENERAL STUFF YOU WOULD BE EXPERIENCING WHILE DATING THEM(and living with them)
mornings with childe would be a bit peaceful but romantic, if you would even call it that.
he would cling onto you when you’re trying to get out of bed to go get ready but he REFUSES, he wants to sleep in more with you but he knows he can’t as he has scheduled meetings with other streamers so he, in the end always gets up but not without holding your hand or shirt
when he wakes up he has... really bad bed hair but you find it cute because he looks like a baby.
while you’re walking to the bathroom, childe just trails behind you, rubbing his eyes. he’s stumbling as this point, he doesn’t want to wake up!! he’s like half asleep but once you and childe are in the bathroom and you turn on the light he’s fully awake now
you grab your toothbrush and start to brush your teeth, childe is right behind you, arms wrapped around your waist while tired eyes looks at you
smiles <3 always smiles when he’s with you!!
sometimes you have to help him get ready cause he acts like he’s still half asleep though he’s fully awake.
“mmmmm thanks love...” “always”
after getting ready and everything, childe is now more awake due to the amount of sunlight that is coming into the house, basically blinding him
you sit down on the table while childe goes to the kitchen
oh did you know.. childe would literally make breakfast for you, yeah i know.. can he even cook? absolutely not! but he’ll take cooking lessons just for you <3 he wants you to enjoy the food that he made for you, he makes sure to neatly put it on your plate or bowl, sometimes if he’s feeling lazy he’ll STILL make a meal that is simple yet cute
he would use a sauce or anything to make a smiley face or a love heart and just put it on the dish and man, it gets you every time.
bro is so happy that he’s dating you, he’s like madly in love.
SOOOO clingy towards you, clings onto you like a baby koala but you aren’t complaining as he looks adorable with his cheek being squished by your hips while begging for you to not go
if childe has a meeting with another streamer or just busy over all he makes sure you still get the attention you deserve by sending you little texts, for example: “did you eat babe? if you haven’t make sure to grab some snacks from the pantry! we have LOAAADS of snacks >:)” “i ate some already, but now that you mentioned snacks... might make a little visit to the pantry..”
when you send him little snacks that you made he makes sure to savour it <3 also takes a picture of it and sends it to zhongli or another streamer and says “look at what my dear y/n made me >:) look at you lonely peasants”
is so proud that you’re his lover and is not afraid to show it!! during his breaks he comes running to you, hugs you really tightly and takes his phone out to show a picture of you in his hold, even if you’re face is like ?!?!? he would still put a text saying “look how my y/n looks! so pretty/handsome right?” “very pretty/handsome :)” “i know right?! like look how their cheeks are so pinchable!” “haha... yeah?”
if you’re a streamer as well then that would kind of work out? even if you’re not a streamer childe will always find a way to make things work out, you and childe would exchange a lot of lovey dovey texts while not busy or anything but childe is relieved that you’re not alone nor lonely as you have other people with you to cheer you up or make your day better(although he likes to do them himself).
orders a lot of your favourite food during whatever time!! when you’re hungry of course.
knows what you’re about to say due to the amount of times you’ve said it but doesn’t mind, loves how he knows what you’re going to say <3
like one day you’re hungry and starving so you walk over to childe’s room and knock on his door, “anything wrong love?” “yes.. im hungry and-” “you want kfc?” “...yes”
childe loves to see you enjoying your food, the way you hum when you finally bite down on your food just sends his heart into a frenzy, he just likes to see you satisfied okay?!
oh! he loves to spend his money on you, even if you’re scared that he’ll go into debt or something - he’s quick to reassure you and tells you that he’ll never run out of money(dont jinx it pretty boy) and just goes on to bring you to many shops and many food shops as he knows that’s what you like best!
once it’s dark and childe finishes with everything he’s finally happy that he can go have fun with you or sleep with you!!
childe just gets up from his chair and opens the door, trying to find where you are and is very happy to see you sitting on the couch watching a movie, he walks over to you and plops down next to you, and of course he gives you a quick peck on your cheek before looking at what you’re watching
“watching it again?” “mhm, i want to see the plot again!” “(˘⌣˘) of course”
i would say nights with childe are absolutely beautiful.
the way he just stays by your side all night long makes your heart beat 100x more
now you might be thinking that showering and privacy would be a BIG problem as childe is a “pervert” but that’s not the case!
he’s actually really respecting of your privacy and even if he wishes to bathe with you he knows he cant until you allow him or until you’re finally comfortable.
if he ever, accidentally forgets that you’re still naked from showering he would IMMEDAITELY cover his eyes with his hands and shut the door quickly while spitting out millions and billions of apologies, even if you accept his apology and say “it’s okay” he will never forgive himself for walking in while you were still changing/naked, he wants you to know that he cares a lot about your privacy!!
if you forget your clothes or towel while done showering and ask for his help, he will not hesitate to help(duh) but he will be mindful that you’re still uhm.. undressed or “naked”, the thought of you.. naked makes his face go absolutely red, he’s not really ashamed of thinking that..? it’s normal anyways
when handing you your clothes, he opens the door but he only opens it slightly that he can fit his arm through so you can grab whatever you needed.
once you’re finally comfortable or allow childe to bathe with you he is ECSTATIC!! not in a weird way of course.. he has just been wanting you to wash his hair <3 he’s been wanting to wash your hair too!! childe read about how some lovers do to these type of stuff so the thought of doing them with you just excites him
offers to wash your body is you allow him too!! if you wash his body too he would be embarrassed, i mean like.. what if you see his hard dick
whhuh, i mean whaaaaat? 🤨
would tease you a lot while bathing together, no surprises there.. sometimes he makes really suggestive comments but you two would always laugh in the end, commenting about how it was a bit cheesy.
maybe your guys humour is just broken.
makes a beard with the bubbles, makes you a bubble crown and puts it on your head <3
blows a lot of bubbles towards you but not to your face as he doesn’t want soap or bubbles in your eyes!!
helps you get out of the tub or shower, is always careful when holding you(not when he’s sleeping lmfao)
helps you blow dry your hair, only if you do the same to him too(kidding), wants to be apart of your “self care thingy or whatever it’s called!!”, loves it when you apply cream on his face, or when you put a face mask on him - because once you take it off he feels so fresh and pretty.
goes for night too^^
speaking of the night, when you two are in the bathroom getting ready to sleep...
you and childe are brushing your teeth he’s holding onto your hand, tightly.
yes, he can never let go of you.
after brushing your teeth you two go to your shared bed and you two slip under the covers.
you and childe hug each other for body warmth, you’re up against his chest while his legs are lazily over yours and he just puts his whole weight on you but it’s okay as he makes sure to not put too much pressure on your body.
you can always hear his soft snores, it’s adorable.
like i stated, childe will cling onto you, even while sleeping! it’s like.. his instinct? one move and he’ll pull you closer to him, your face is now in between his chest, can you even breathe?
but in the end he will let go eventually(a little bit), so you have air.
but lord, when he’s sleeping and the moonlight hits his face... he just looks ethereal, so beautiful. are you sure this is the childe you knew? he looked so peaceful
his mouth slightly agape(open) while letting out soft snores, his hair was messy yet looked so soft, his face looked so relaxed, many it was because he was sleeping, maybe it was because it was quiet and peaceful, or maybe it was because you were beside him, your presence alone can help him relax and loosen all tensity in his body or muscles.
do you know how much he loves and adores you?
(also expect a lot of kisses, like a lot. in the morning, afternoon, night, midnight - not a single day goes by where he doesn’t kiss you!!)
(also calls you ‘my snookums’)
Tumblr media
streamer! xiao x reader
this man can’t even grasp onto the fact that he’s literally dating YOU, like.. YOU
?!?!
it’s not a dream, not a figment of his imagination, he’s actually dating you!
but yeah..
ever since he has started to date you he has had the urge to just pinch and pull your cheeks, don’t look at me i don’t know why 🤷‍♀️
i just wanted to add that there
ahem, but anyways! living with xiao would be so relaxing? and peaceful?? there’s not a day where you don’t feel absolutely in love with xiao.
waking up next to xiao, ah.. what a dream, except! you’re not dreaming!
let me just try to describe what it’s like waking up next to xiao <3
you know that feeling when you wake up and it slightly cold, but not too cold and you move around in your bed and your sheets make those like ruffling noises? it sounds peaceful right? that’s cause it is :)
the windows are covered with sheer curtains, the soft glow of light shines on xiao’s face, and god does he looks like an angel.
mornings when xiao’s mouth is slightly agape, the colors of yellow, orange and red would shine down on his face, were always the best mornings.
he just looked so damn cute, you could just pinch his cheeks right there and then but you always refrain from doing so, you didn’t want to wake him up from his beauty sleep.
but sometimes you get so annoyed at his cute face and scream softly while stopping yourself from grabbing onto his face
most of the time, xiao wakes up first - only to admire your face of course. you looked so cute with your messy hair<3
basically, you both admire each other, without each other knowing..
once you both wake up, xiao always wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you closer where you’re up against his chest
majority of the time xiao is still half asleep, so he’s always nuzzling up against your neck while groaning, sleepily.
(does that make sense)
and when xiao does that, you just pat his head and kiss his temple before struggling to get up as you keep on forgetting that he has quite literally “trapped” you.
eventually, you’ll always manage to convince xiao to just get up so you two can get ready for the day
while you’re walking to the bathroom xiao is still holding onto you, hugging you.
sometimes he stumbles and you always giggle when he does so
you and xiao have matching toothbrushes!! you have a cute brown bear toothbrush and xiao has a cute white bear toothbrush
xiao is kind of embarrassed that he has this type of toothbrush as he’s not all “cutesy wootsy” but if you like the idea of having matching toothbrushes.. who is he to say no?
xiao is that “emo” type of person(no hate), he doesn’t like bright colors or anything too “happy” but when he’s living with you, NOT TO MENTION.. dating you, how could he be like that?!
he doesn’t mind what you do to his place, if you like the color pink and add some pink decorations in the bathroom like, for example: a pink sanrio carpet, a pink toothbrush holder, pink curtains
he would not mind it, not one bit. finds it quite domestic actually.
xiao has never thought of living with someone, living with his crush.
his house was.. dull if you would call it. not too much decorations, a bit plain, nothing bright or eye catching. that was until he has met you and after you met and started to date.
when he first met you he went out shopping to buy some house and room decorations, he didn’t want you to think of him as bland!
after dating you, when you started to add your own little decorations around the house it felt so.. domestic to him? he doesn’t know how to describe the feeling.
his dull and boring house, being filled with your lively decors just makes the house feel more like a home.
when you were adding the decorations around the house, xiao couldn’t help but look at you as a parent, a hard working and loving parent putting down some home decor that they had bought.
like decorating their soon to be born baby’s room.
if you like colors like pink, purple, red, yellow, or any bright-ish/pastel color and start decorating xiao’s house with them, he would be absolutely in love with you(he already is but shhh)
now moving on!!
xiao would never let go of you, even if he did he doesn’t want to
even in the shower ;( but that’s later in the years/months of dating
speaking of showering, this man is too much of a gentlemen, letting you go first <3 if you’re the type to use a lot of hot water then this is going to be the best thing ever.
he doesn’t mind showering in cold water, as long as you’re all warm and all :)
i would say xiao wouldn’t shower with you till you’re comfortable around him(you already are but that’s a different story)
if you don’t mind taking a shower with xiao then that would be great as xiao would wash your back for you if your hands can’t reach to touch your back.
absolutely no suggestive acts in the shower, unless you know.. you want to do it.. in the shower..
when you two are in the bath tub and there’s bubbles everywhere xiao loves to place the bubbles on your head and make cute little crowns or hats.
HE LOVES IT WHEN HE USES YOUR (body)SHAMPOO!!!
xiao absolutely loves it when he smells like you <3 as it reminds him of you, especially when he’s not there with you or just busy.
when xiao is streaming he’s always quick to ask you if you want to join, if you say no because your busy with making food or just don’t want to join he won’t force you to and just give you a quick kiss on your cheek before saying “mkay, call me if you need me ok?”
if you’re also a streamer, it reassures xiao that you won’t be lonely and you’ll have people to interact with :)
sometimes xiao would just watch your stream and often sends in messages there and then, “Y/NNNNNN!!!” “xiao-? is that you..?” “YES IT IS”
yes i know xiao isn’t the type of person to type in caps out in the public but he really wants you to notice him so... you can’t blame him!!
xiao’s in his room most of the time, if not then he would be with you, sitting on the couch watching movies/youtube, playing games with you, shopping with you, basically doing anything with you
he would also help you with cooking! he’s not an expert like cooking but he’ll help you with stuff like cutting the vegetables or herbs(yes, he doesn’t want you to accidentally cut your fingers off, even if you persist, no. but he would still allow you too, he’d just be eyeing your every move.), putting the scraps in the scrap bowl and washing the dishes.
he would take cooking classes for you but he has got a lot stuff to do and doesn’t have enough time to take cooking classes, that’s why he’s trying to minimize his work as he’s only a (big) streamer and doesn’t really need to do anything and tries to take some cooking lessons with you :)
if you both go to cooking class, expect many kisses in between sessions <3
you could be cutting some onions for a dish and while xiao is cutting some tomatoes he would just lean over and give you a kiss on your temple
sometimes he does it out of no where that you, most of the time end up freezing and blushing profusely.
like where did all this confidence come from? 🤨
(kidding..)
moving onto the night, xiao would most definenetly follow you where ever you go.
you stand up to go grab a snack? he’s coming with you too, what’ll happen if the monster from the show you two are watching kidnaps you!! you’re going to go brush your teeth early? ah well okay xiao might as well come with you too!
hopefully you don’t mind clingy men 🤞
before, xiao never really did anything during the night. he’d just edit his videos, brush his teeth, wash his face and go to sleep.
but now he has to do whatever you’re doing too. instead of you asking him if he would like to do skin care with you he’s just in front of you, looking straight at you and he’s just... there..
waiting for you to do your thing, you know..
i mean, you’re happy? you’re glad that he’s allowing you too but not only that but he actually wants to do it? like what.
but hey, you’re not mad!
(the reason he does this is because 1, he knows it’ll make him feel fresh, and it does. 2, it makes you and him closer <3 3, doesn’t want to go to bed alone)
he just loves it when you gently move his head so you can apply some cream on his face, xiao always looks at you when you’re placing a face mask on his face because you look so concentrated and it’s so cute!!
when you two finally go to sleep he would cling onto you for the rest of the night, even if it’s hot.. hopefully you don’t suffocate!!
imagine this, you’re facing your left and your back is towards xiao and he just huffs when you keep on turning over(he wants to see your cute face shh) so he just hugs you from behind, puts his head either nuzzling your neck or placing his head on your back and he’s just hugging you like a koala.
but every day you, when you wake up you always find yourself facing towards xiao.. sometimes your legs are over his stomach or legs and xiao’s still knocked out cold, weird..
Tumblr media
streamer! dainsleif x reader
just wanna know how you both confessed without being a total mess.
it’s basically impossible but hey, you both did it!
(but can you guys imagine dain trying to confess to you without stumbling over his words and being red?!?)
now.. living with dainsleif huh? that’s definenetly something! in the start of the relationship dainsleif was extremely clingy towards you, that sounds unlike him right?
but you gotta know, dain has been CRAVING your touch, he wants to hug you, to hold you tightly, he wants you to run your hands through his hair, to press a kiss on top of his head.
ever since you’ve been next to him(been in his house) he just has this urge to just hold you, you know? he wants to keep you in his arms forever <3
so ever since you and dain have started to date he has been clinging onto you just like a baby koala.
like in the mornings dain is hugging you from behind and he’s snoring lightly, when you wake up you could barely open your eyes, rubbing your eyes you slowly regain your eyesight but you still couldn’t really see anything for a while but boy did you look angry.
you were pouting while squinting, turning around just to barely see dainsleif. although you couldn’t make out anything in front of you, you could still smell the familiar scent of your lover and his light snoring.
you could hear little murmurs coming out of dain’s mouth
dain would groan something like: “mmmmmhm” and hug you even tighter and you would just be looking at him like this: “???” but you find it adorable so you don’t really care
dain would hold/hug onto you harder each time you move, his brow furrows every time you you try to move away from him as you need to get up and get your day started but he just refuses, he also has a pout on, always.
and when he does eventually wake up he just finds you in an awkward position. it’s always a pose where from he just hugs you from behind to him hugging your chest while you’re just laying there like “ 🧍‍♀️ “...
and his legs are always over yours. no question.
but other than that, dainsleif looks absolutely ethereal when he wakes up, even with bed hair. his hair could be all over the place but you still find him attractive.
dainsleif looks dazed when he wakes up, he’s also a bit confused. so while he’s rubbing his eyes he’s also grabbing onto your sleeve, tightly.
(how does he have that strength even when waking up..)
“morning dain :)” “mmmmh, mornin’ love...”, you’re always sure to take is slow with him during the morning because he’s practically still half-asleep when he’s awake.
he’d also say some things that are normally said drunk, like mini confessions but not really anymore since you’ve heard them many times.
“?? you’re so pretty..wow” “dain? oh- well, thank you love.. but lets get you to the toilet first.. kay?” “m’kay”
everytime dain says stuff like that you can’t help but just melt, so while you’re helping dain getting up and putting his arm around your neck your face is just pure red and you have that “HE’S SO CUTE GOD DAMN IT” face on.
but dain will eventually get himself back together when he’s washing his face.
but please don’t tell him about what he said while he was a big dazed!! he’ll be extremely embarrassed and will uh... cry?
you still tell him anyways!
and dain just looks at you, his hand still wet from washing his face - he’s just staring at you with his eyes wide open and you can see the red forming on his cheeks, how cute!
dain doesn’t say anything and just looks away but you think he forgot that there’s a mirror right in front of you guys so you can see him with his eyes closed and him trying to suppress any sounds coming out of him.
you, of course just hugs him from behind and say “it’s okay/fine” but that doesn’t really cheer him up..
when it comes to breakfast, he makes the absolute best breakfast ever, could you even call it a ‘breakfast meal’? it’s like a whole feast :(
he’d sit you down and you would watch him make breakfast, he has the apron on and everything.
he knows everything about cooking!! 👏👏 he has two different chopping boards for vegetables and meat and has everything organized. salt and pepper there, some sauce over there, utensils over there and there and some oven mitts in the top right cabinet.
he’s just, mwa, yes.
dain’s too scared to let you cook because what if you accidently cut yourself? what if you burnt your hand or finger? what if!!
he can’t let you get hurt!! so if you cook, he makes sure he’s there to watch over you, dain also gives you some tips on how to do this and that and when you’re cutting some onion and you’re about to cut your finger he’s quick to stop you by grabbing your hand and sighs when he realizes that you didn’t get hurt.
“what’s wrong dain?” “ah, nothing. just be careful.. please.. you almost gave me a heart attack!” “oh- whoops? hehe..?”
you know those “kiss the cook” apron? yea, dain owns them. you might be thinking “ohh y/n probably gifted them it” or “y/n forced them to wear that” but no. dain himself bought that apron, a bright, pink apron that had many kissing emojis and a big white text that says “Kiss the COOK!”
yes, he bought that one because it stood out and he was hoping you would get the message, either you did or didn’t.
if you didn’t then when you’re going back to your room or anywhere he’d grab you by your waist and pull you close and whisper in your ear, “where’s my kiss?” and yes, you would give him his kiss but not before you’re melting and dain has to literally catch you because your knees are weak and you fall.
if you do notice then he would be pretty happy that the apron actually did his job and he would happily(if you’re short) bend down so you can give him his kiss and if not then dain would just gladly and happily smile while waiting for your kiss.
if he’s feeling very cheeky he will, at the last second, move his head so that instead of you kissing his cheek, you would be kissing his lips.
now, his job, streaming.
dain doesn’t stream until around 11 am -12 pm because he wants to spend the morning with you, normally around 12 pm he would stream.
his streams lasts for about 1-4 hours and if he’s doing a partnership then around 5.
and because he’s busy during these times, you always remind him to eat something or take a break for a while and chat with his viewers, and he really appreciates you for that :(
while he’s streaming you would either watch netflix, make food for dain, read a book and if you’re a streamer, you too would also stream.
sometimes your viewers ask you about dain and how your relationship was with dain and you would always overboard with your answers.
when they asked a simple question, you would answer it, but it was always very detailed, like why dain is amazing and blah blah blah.
dain too, would also remind you to take breaks and eat something <3 it just works out perfectly! how you two won’t be bored of course.
and your and dain’s day would be absolutely great if you both have the same schedule, well, kind of.
but moving on, once dain is finished streaming(and when you finished streaming too) he would come into your room or where ever you are and just lay over you, poor baby is tired. and his ass hurts too, he has been sitting in that darn chair for who knows how long.
most of the time you two have a tickle fight... that’s only when he still has energy which is most of the time. and dain always win, but sometimes he allows you to win ONLY because you gave him that puppy face.
and when there’s enough spare time, and he’s not busy you two would go shopping or to a park to just walk or pet some cats!!
dainsleif always makes sure that you’re enjoying your time where ever he takes you. you want to go to the park where many cats are after he streams? of course! you want to travel to canada? sure thing! lemme book the tickets rq- (/j)
you two mostly spend your time either going out or just staying home watching shows, orrrrr staring at each other(and maybe you watching dain edit his video LOL)
and sooner or later the sun starts to set. which means within a few hours you both will have to sleep. which dain hates.
yes he needs his beauty sleep BUT he wants to spend more time with you.. 5+ hours isn’t enough! but sleeping does come with its perks which dainsleif always takes advantage of.
for example, you’re sleeping, eyes closed, snoring lightly and dain’s just looking at you - staring at your face that he adores oh so much
he also probably pats your cheeks when you’re asleep, finds your cheeks cute, don’t ask me why (night)
!! about showering, he’s such a mess... like he will literally be in the corner of the shower and refuses to look at you. but i mean like, he has to look at you when you ask him to help you wash your hair or something like that.
he will NEVER touch you when you both are showering together, he’s too shy.
but if you’re showering by yourself then dainsleif would note down mentally that you’re in the shower and that he must “not open the door at all costs unless you need a towel or clothes”
i forgot to mention, when you two are in the bathroom to brush your teeth and get ready he’s always ready for your skin care
but instead of you doing it for him and you, it’s the opposite. dain’s the one that is applying the cream and face mask on.
if you don’t do skin care and just wash your face that’s okay, because he’ll lend you some of his <3 and yes, he has skin care products.
no wonder his skin is always so smooth and flawless.

streamer! kaeya x reader
THIS MANNN 😩 flirts with you throughout the entire relationship. no comment.
(but fr... hope you don’t mind his constant complimenting and teasing - hope you don’t get embarrassed every time!!)
he teases you 24/7. morning, afternoon, night, midnight and when the sun rises, only special occasions.
he just loves to see your flustered state <3 when you blush or when you hide your face from embarrassment is just so endearing! you’re just so cute ;(
but enough of that, time to get into the real thing
mornings with kaeya is something, he would be all over the place. his legs over your body, arms over his head and splayed opposite of each other and some hair covering his face. mouth opened and snoring too 😰
oh yea, he snores. really loudly.
do you get enough sleep? no.
(why? cuz of his damn snoring!!)
but other than that, everything else is normal. no it isn’t
kaeya wakes up earlier than you, while he’s wide awake, you’re knocked out cold.
kaeya always wondered how you could still sleep for so long.
he stares at you while you sleep, not in a creepy way! he just admires your face and he can basically memorize your face. if you have tiny beauty spot on your cheek or anywhere on your face he would definenetly mentally note that down and bring that up once your awake.
“hey babe, did you know you have a __ there under your eye?” “wha-” “oh shush shush i know, a shocker huh?”
so yea.. kaeya wakes up only because he wants to look at and admire your face.
and so when you do wake up, you open your eyes and the first thing you see is kaeya staring right back at you.
at first is startles you but you quickly calm down when you realize it’s just kaeya. his dark blue hair makes it obvious.
he always holds you close to him when he notices you’re awake, he purposely makes your face squish up against his chest because, yes.
but you don’t mind <3 as a matter of fact, you love/enjoy it!
kaeya has a hot morning voice, can not tell me otherwise.
like a single “morning princess” could get you weak in your knees, god the power he has over you is... 😍
but sometimes when kaeya wakes up he gets up and gets ready for the day, though he doesn’t want to leave you he knows he has to get ready for his streams, plus if you didn’t stream then that would mean you would get your beauty sleep and kaeya doesn’t mind if he gets up from bed and starts his day already if it means you get your rest, he knows you need it.
but he craves your touch and presence when he’s already downstairs and setting up his stream and all.
GIVES YOU MANY KISSES WHEN YOU’RE ALSEEP!! like a kiss on both of your cheeks, forehead, lips, EVERYWHERE.
AHEM, anyways.
when you and kaeya are in the bathroom doing whatever he’s always by your side, whether you’re pooping or whatever, unless you’re uncomfortable of course.
he doesn’t really hold onto your shirt but he just sticks to your side, he’s quite literally glued to your side but are you complaining? nope!
kaeya 100% makes breakfast with you, cooking with you just feels so domestic and he’s here for it <3
even if you two are just planning on eating cereal, he still wants to “make” it with you even if it’ll probably take a few minutes.
you’re pouring the milk in the bowl and he’s just leaning on the counter, just staring at you with hearts in his eyes he’s getting the cereal ready.
kaeya either puts on a show for you and him to watch or talk to you about his plans for today and what he’s going to be doing for stream.
and if you stream too then you and kaeya would go back and fourth about your plans and stuff like that.
most of the time after breakfast kaeya would kiss you on your cheek(or lip) and go upstairs to start streaming, and you would just go in the living room and watch some crime documentary/shows.
if you too are also streaming, you would go to your room and start preparing for today.
thankfully, kaeya doesn’t forget to take breaks and eat something so you don’t really text him or remind him to do you know, but you still text him there and then.
he probably shows his phone to the chat and say something like: “hey you guys, look at what my babes texted me! aren’t they so kind <3”
you watch kaeya’s stream so you always text him when he does something concerning or when he compliments you.
“my y/n is so gorgeous, did you guys know that?” “CHAT: YEAAAA Y/N’S SO PRETTY!!!” “text: awww kaeya, you’re so sweet! and everyone in chat too :(”
“wait what-”
if you stream too, you and kaeya would honestly annoy each other(nicely), joining each others stream and just saying the weirdest shit ever and then leaving.
oh yea, when you’re in your room you hear MANY screams and shouting, either him playing a horror game or him just screaming at players that killed him many times, yes, he’s a sore loser.
sometimes you’re so concerned that you have to literally walk your way to his room, open his door and just say “are you okay?” and leave once he apologizes and explains the reason he screamed. and he’s so nice and polite when explaining to you too...
nothing big ever happens during the afternoon, but once kaeya ends his stream and tweets a few texts he’s immediately out of the room and rushing to your room.
kaeya literally opens your door so wide that it makes a loud “BANG” sound because he’s so eager to just jump into your arms and just let you hug him and kiss him, and that’s exactly what he does.
kaeya just jumps in your arms and you make an “AK-” sound due to someone heavy literally jumping onto you. 🤨
“sorry babe, just missed you sooo much ;(” “uh huh...” and so yeah! you two spend the next 2 hours just cuddling, before getting up to make lunch.
he’s so whiny about getting up, he’s holding onto you for dear life and begging you to just stay put and not go but obviously you’re hungry so you just pull his arms away from your waist and you get up and head to the kitchen
as soon as you get up he’s jumping out of the bed, rushing towards you and just follows you.
and when you’re making lunch he wraps his arms around your waist and nuzzles your neck while humming, you can’t even focus.
and you almost cut your finger while cutting some tomatoes but kaeya stops you from doing so.
“woah there, we don’t want you cutting your finger now do we?” and we all expect him to say that in a flirty tone and to be honest, yea he kind of did BUTTTTTT
he had more of a worried tone. he was frowning while moving your hand away from the knife.
(kind of had a pout..?)
but anyways.
most of the time kaeya takes you out to eat but you two normally get swarmed by his fans or people just eyeing you so you both just end up cooking and eating at home.
and when he does take you out... expect fancy restaurants, the MOST expensive food and a lot of shopping.
kaeya hates streaming(sometimes) as it takes away time with you but he always makes sure to spend more time with you when he’s done.
that’s why kaeya takes you to various places. picnics, parks, the movies, aquarium, and etc.
if not then he would make it up to you by cuddling with you for hours. never letting you go.
sometimes you play fight. but he never hits you or anything, instead he lets you take advantage of him. letting you win always <3
but sometimes he wants you to praise him so sometimes he wins and you have to praise him, no matter what.
“wowow you’re so strong kaeya!” “that’s what we love to hear, more y/n!” “... no.” “BUT- WHY?!?”
sometimes this goes on for HOURS, you two never get bored.
and it could go on for hours that by the time you stop you two are out of breath and notice that the sun is setting.
now about dinner... you and kaeya don’t really.. make dinner. rather, ordering!! mcdonalds, KFC, and so much junk food. with salad of course.
you two just sit on the couch, watching some drama while eating the food, not even paying attention to what your grabbing. you two are just too invested in what’s happening between brittany and betty.
honestly i dont even want to talk about what he does during the night, mostly because you both take night showers.
kaeya will always playfully poke your butt in the shower. no matter what, you either one, shriek and grab your butt while looking at him scared for your life, two, slowly turn around and giving kaeya a death stare, or three, you just continue to wash your body and don’t mind what kaeya just did.
even though showering with one another seems very intimate and sexual, it’s quite the opposite when it comes to kaeya. like sure he may be flirty and all but.. he really doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable so he doesn’t make any suggestive acts.
kaeya helps you to scrub your back if you can’t reach it yourself <3 he helps you wash your hair, apply whatever you need, basically, whatever you ask him, he’ll do it.
and when you both get in the bed and drift off to sleep he’s always hugging you <3 squeezing you tightly every time you move.
one of many ways to get kaeya sleeping is by braiding or just touching his hair, he finds it comforting :(
sometimes(most of the time) he stays awake, waiting for the moonlight to shine on your face. he adores you so much
kaeya finds you so pretty when the moonlight is shining on your face, but you’re always pretty so....

listening to outta time by bryson tiller ♪
it wasn’t unlikely for changkyun to call you at late hours of the night, he was usually studio bound at this time anyway. what was unusual lie in his simple, but daring request.
“come downstairs.” he barred a monotone voice through the phone.
his puzzling request struck curiousity in your bones; you couldn’t not meet him downstairs now. grabbing nothing but a spare pullover and sliding into your house shoes, your heart fluttered in your chest. what could he possibly want?
after finally reaching your destination, changkyun turned around, your eyes meeting.
he almost looked the same as you, dressed in not much but a pair of sweats and a loose hoodie. although you would probably never tell him, his appearance was one of the many factors that drew you in.
stepping foward, changkyun cracked a slight smile. “you didnt take long.” he joked, tilting his head to the side a little.
“neither did you.” you replied, smiling back at him. “are you here to just look at me or did you have something you wanted?”
he paused a little before responding, licking his bottom lip. that was enough to fuel the fire between your legs.
“what if i wanted to just look at you?” his breath hitched a little.
your heart was beating so fast you were sure changkyun could hear your excitement ready to leap out of your chest. you were even more sure of this since the dialogue between the two of you had ceased.
“kidding.” changkyun hit your arm a little, as if he was knocking you back to reality. “i do miss you though, you wanna go for a drive?”
right. he didn’t see you in that way. of course, this was expected since he had many other things in his life; you would be the last on his mind.
the walk to the parking garage was a brisk, but quiet one. your interactions weren’t usually this awkward, today was an especially off one. from kyun suddenly showing up at your apartment, to this odd tension that appeared, you could hear the silence.
opening the door for you, changkyun walked around to his side and got in.
“your car smells nice.” a pathetic attempt to crack the silence.
“it smells like me.” changkyun answered affirmatively, looking directly at you.
rolling your eyes, you gave your attention to the moon in front of you.
you could feel his eyes drawing in on you, lasered into the side of your skull. turning so you made eye contact, you tilted your head a little.
"staring contest?"
changkyun scoffed jokingly. "i'll win but sure."
you didn’t know what was stranger about this night; the way he looked at you or the way his looks kindled the fire between your legs.
"why do you keep looking at me like that?" you choked out, palms growing sweaty in the process.
"it's a staring contest." changkyun retorted.
"no i mean-"
his lips didn't allow you to give further explanation, his tongue lay bait for you to fall under. your breaths hitched and stilled. his hands wandered every which way until one landed on your chin, tilting it upwards.
if this was bliss then the second he pulled away was sudden death, leaving you puckered & red.
leaning back in with your noses just touching, changkyun bit his bottom lip. "i can kiss you like that right? is that ok?"
this time you opted out of verbal response, answering him the same way he did you.
changkyun's hands moved from your face to your bottom, pulling you over on the driver's side so you could sit on his lap. instinctively, you reached to the side and lowered the seat back.
his hands wandered underneath your sweater to fondle your breasts. the friction from your lower bodies and the way he touched you was enough make you bellow out a shallow moan. you could feel him growing beneath you, leaving you soaked.
bringing you down towards him, changkyun lifted away your top to give him full access to your nipples. unknowingly, your hips ground against his crotch.
changkyun let out a breathy moan, latching harder onto your breast.
“changkyun...i want you so bad...” you whined out, his brows raising at your request. tilting his head with his mouth now removed from your chest, changkyun bit his bottom lip.
“say it again for me.” his breath hitching a little.
with no hesitation, the words stuttered out of you. “i want you so bad.”
a part of you imagined that he got a kick out of hearing your desperation crawl out of itself. so much so that every reedy whine from you earned a bite at your neck or a grope to your backside.
this time you had earned the feel of his manhood, not a cushion but a slab of pure concrete, stiff under you.
playing with the hem of your shorts, changkyun met with your eyes for direct contact. “we don’t have to take these off.”
and you didn’t, with him pushing them to the side just enough to give access to your bare middle. finally, you could catch a glance of his lower. it sat up high, thick & gleaming with precum; it was as if it was waiting for you.
steadily, you sunk down onto changkyun, biting your lip carefully to not cry out. changkyun pulled your upper back forward so that you were chest to chest, keeping another on your bottom. slowly, you rocked your lower half on his throbbing member. the two of you kept eye contact, while his hand that was once on your upper back was now on your face.
out of the many faces changkyun had showed you, the one he was giving me at this particular moment had you ready to climax then and there. cheeks flushed, changkyun bit down on his lower lip, never breaking away from you.
a harsh slap to your ass made you whine even louder. “right there....it feels so good right there...”
speeding up your pace, you sat up a little so that both hands could sit flat against his chest. with one hand on his shoulder and the other on this chiseled chest, you bounced on his lap, sounds from your sopping middle filling the air.
changkyun reached a hand up to steady your thigh, with his mouth now agape. “fuck, did i get you this wet? huh?”
in a shallow attempt to conceal your moans you bit your lip, only for changkyun to catch on rather quickly.
his palms took grip of your ass, giving him full access to thrust himself into you. you only cried out, falling back onto his chest while he took you from under
times like this there was nowhere else your mind wandered except how he made you feel.
“mmm…changkyun…” every time you began a sentence it seemed as if you blacked out.
joining his rhythm, you brought your your hips back down onto him. it only took a few more strokes to have you, once again, calling out to him.
“i think im gonna come.” your grip on his shoulders tightened so that you could straighten up and look at him.
“yeah?” he answered, his eyes saturated with eagerness.
“mhmm.”
changkyun gave a harsh slap to your rear while biting his lip.
“go ahead…fuck…go ahead and come on me.”
you surrendered, riding him until your legs and core gave out. trembling, you stilled your movements only when you heard changkyun announce his orgasm.
panting, you look at the mess you made of him. although the garage was dimly lit, you still could share gaze with him.
“is this what you called me out here for?” you questioned.
he chuckled, licking his bottom lip. “does this count as a confession.”
“not at all.”

u kno how everyone has their own version of Reverse Falls?? well i have one of those lol but rn what im saying is: my version of the au where the pines twins swap places (grunkles for mystery,,,, u kno,,, i think its called Gravity Rises? Anti-Gravity??? I can’t remember damn) yeah i have little bits of dialogue written,,,, if only i could draw... anyway all under the read more:
[[the scene where Mabel cheats off of Dipper in class; prev the scene where Stan cheats off Ford. Flashback to convo;]]
Dipper: Look. All you need is decent grades in math, right? Just copy off me. 'S not like the teachers pay attention during exams, anyway.
Mabel: I dunno, Dipper...
Dipper: Come on. We need scolarships. Our parents can't afford two full rides to college.
Mabel: It feels kinda... fraud-y, though.
Dipper: Think about it this way, hey - those rich kids pay their way past exams to a full ride, this is no more unfair than that. Just levelling the playing field. They're cheating at life - you're just opening up opportunities.
Mabel: True...
Dipper: Anyway. Nobody gets left behind, right?
Mabel: Haha. Yeah. Who's to say I won't leave /you/ behind? [punches his arm, with a smile.]
Dipper: Hah. Very funny.
Mabel: Thanks, bro-bro. Awkward sibling hug?
Dipper: Awkward sibling hug.
[hug]
Both: Pat-pat.  
---
[[Big argument! Replaces the ford accuses Stan of breaking his machine. The conversation with the headmaster [uhhh, principal? in america?? i dunno im sorry] of the school is done w/ Dipper replacing Stan and Mabel replacing Ford bc I Like To Make Things Interesting!]]
Mabel: Come on, Dipper! I mean. Just - what kind of money is in /paranormal investigation/, anyway?
Dipper: What kind of money is in sculpting?
Mabel: That's not fair.
Dipper: Neither is you repeating our parents' talking points, but here we are. It's not about the money, Mabel.
Mabel: Well if it's not, then what's the point of you being on the opposite kind of the country to me?
Dipper: What's the point of you being on the opposite side of the country to /me/? Oh, that's right. You got a full ride anywhere you'd like, and there I am, trouble-maker, crazy-guy extraordinaire with the weird interests and stuipd belief in the supernatural. There was only one film school that'd take me, Mabel. You're the one who locked yourself into California.
Mabel: Why didn't you /tell/ me?
Dipper: I didn't think you'd want me around that much. What have I ever done, except pull down your stupid reputation?
Mabel: You can't still be on that. You know I don't-
Dipper: Still didn't say anything, though did you?
Mabel: That's not fair at all, Dipper.
Dipper: You never say anything. And here I am, always defending you. Maybe I felt we needed some space, huh? Maybe you give off the aura of wanting space. I'm not fun to be around.
Mabel: I didn't mean that. I just meant - you can get... kind of into a headspace I can't follow. I'm not - I don't believe in all your -
Dipper: Dumb conspiracies?
Mabel: Yes! Dipper, just - there's nothing down that road. You know that. You'll be -
Dipper: A laughingstock? Been there. Used to it.
Mabel: It doesn't have to be like that. You're really, really smart-
Dipper: So the only thing I can want to do is science?
Mabel: No, that's not it at all -
Dipper: He's a punk, he's headed nowhere, 'Mabel's a good girl, a real talent, smart and artistic... Dipper has the brain for a good life, but not the mindset. There's Fantartstic Academy, it's in California, so it's not too far from home, but it's on the other side of the state, a good distance away - I think it'd be good for your daughter to get independence, to find friends and a life outside of the trouble her brother brings. Mabel could have a real good go of it -'
Mabel: Stop it! Dipper, you know I don't believe-
Dipper: But you do! You always have!
Mabel: Just because you're /anxious/ doesn't mean you're right! We're okay! You're just paranoid!
Dipper: That's not fair.
Mabel: Oh, so now /I'm/ the unfair one? I get it. Things are only unfair when it affects /you/.
[pause]
Mabel: Why d'you have to do this?
Dipper: I - I have to prove that I'm right, Mabel. I have to. This stuff exists, I know it does, I've just got to find it.
Mabel: And, what? You're going to prove something people have been trying to figure out for centuries? Dipper. How can you tell me to get out of dreamworld when that's where you're staying?
Dipper: Screw you.
Mabel: Screw /you/.
---
As for other stuff;
Mabel makes the portal! It takes Dipper 30 years to activate it after she’s pushed in bc her instructions are Terrible. Partly because she didn’t understand much of it. Bill painted the whole thing as like, a monument of the arts or w/ever im still figuring that one out 
Dipper takes Grunkle Stan’s place as the person they’re sent to visit. He’s been pretending Mabel’s been in various foreign countries for years @ this point. Uses either magic/tech to create voicemails for the family, has her be bubbly but distant, w/ promises to visit that she never keeps, which. you know he feels bad about but he needs to make people think she’s alive
Dipper had a ghost hunting TV show! For like three years, then went off the air bc of low ratings. Apparently real ghosts scare people! And kill them. Who knew. Also everyone thought the special effects were bad. Whoops. Anyway he runs a tourist attraction out of Mabel’s old ‘nature living art lodge’. It makes a good haunted house during high traffic at halloween/Summerween. The entrance to the basement is in his office, which used to be one of Mabel’s art studios. Dipper took all the bill art down because he pays attention to warnings written in blood. 
Im swapping all ages here, so Dipper is good friends with Pacifica and Wendy. Gideon is ... a threat. Lee, Nate and Thompson are still in town. Tambry and Robbie are not. 
Soos is 8, Fiddleford is 13, Stan and Ford are 12. Etc. 
Because of how we’re swapping this, some people’s parents might have to become their children. I’m not a fan of that, but we’ll see. Filbrick Pines was the youngest sibling of Mabel and (Mason) Dipper. He’s not well liked by the family. And he doesn’t like his own family all that much, hence the distance between them. He likes his kids even less, though, so Gravity Falls they go! I hate that guy. 
Ma Pines may or may not come with them? Hmm.

OKAY IVE ACTUALLY PLAYED TWO SESSIONS SINCE MY LAST POST SO IM GONNA COMBINE THEM HERE SORRY FOR THE LENGTH BUT,,IVE COME SO FAR I DONT WANNA STOP NOW
this is gonna be very messy cause i WILL be jumping back and forth as things come back to mind so uhh pls enjoy this absolute ramble <3
anyway. i continued playing omori and boy do i have some Thoughts
so first session; i went through the pyre(something i forgot the full name sob) forest/sprout mole village/sweetheart’s castle in one go and let me TELL YOU. DOING THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE I WENT NUTS holy shit.
so anyway.
pyre forest!!!! the lil race against the big spider coming after u for disturbing the smaller spiders mechanic was very fun i had a lot of fun figuring out the best routes to take. i know normally mechanics like that lead to ppl getting frustrated cause u have to keep retrying but i had a lot of fun!!!! sum annoyance but good natured type, th kind that just makes u try harder u know? i just enjoyed it JKFN;FN; candles in the foggy forest....now That is an aesthetic
the rare bear scared the fuckin shit out of me i remember it didn’t attack me straight away so i was like “aw (:” but then when i press x on him it takes me to a BATTLE SCREEN AND SUDDEN THAT MF IS TERRIFYING I WAS LIKE WHWHWHWHWKJDNJ. very funny i honestly wished i recorded my reaction
also omori is afraid of drowning...................................i am breathing heavily. i think whatever happened to mari is related to at least one of the things omori is scared of. so either heights, spiders, or drowning it seems. spiders doesnt seem super likely as a contributor to her death, and while falling from a height is more realistic, such a senseless way of dying doesnt seem to rlly fit ? with the vibe i get from the kiddos in the real world. which makes me think maybe drowning/otherwise suffocating is how she died...but we’ll see. also due to the forgotten library part, we know omori explicitly feared spiders/drowning before mari died so it’s also probable im jus talking out my ass here but still,,,,thoughts
also this motherfucker?
Tumblr media
literally fucking terrifying. IT’S BODY IS MADE OF SUCC’D SPROUT MOLES...i still have no idea what exactly it was doing to them but jesus h christ!!!! evil and fucked up. do not feel bad for curbstomping it
sprout mole village!!!! very cute, im v excited to send that one dude his brother’s care package. i like how, when theyre not lost, sprout moles can be real endearing lil guys,,,theyre not my fav lil enemies but (:
also for some reason omori is the first game ive played where i really care about getting achievements ? so i literally did the back and forth on my save file just to get all the season sprout mole achievements JKDJFJ;. i ended up sticking w spring tho before moving on for real cause spring is my fav season irl (:
also i felt SO BAD for cutting down that one sprout mole’s chistmas tree he was just trying to celebrate but i wanted to see that present and coincidentally becoming a christmas ruiner was an achievement so all’s fair in love and war i suppose
ALSO. th fuckin plant monster thing under the scientist sprout mole’s room. major little shop of horror vibes from the design, absolutely adored it!!!!! originally i did  just cut the wire holding the piano over it, ending it in one go, but i was very curious abt it so i reloaded a save file to actually fight it and
i know it only spread that gas to make the kiddos happy cause being happy reduces attack i think ? it decreases attack/defense but seeing the kiddos smile so much was nice (:
however
Tumblr media
omori...sunny....son boy.........u good ?
and now. sweetheart
the way the sprout moles completely adore and depend on sweetheart gives me such awful evil vibes and combined with such a luxurious background was fucking incredible
sweetheart herself, speaking of. bitch (sorta affectionately, certainly not derogatory)
i talked to every sprout mole in the audience before taking my seat and i literally dont know why. even when i picked up the pattern of where the unique dialogue could be found (usually the sprout moles farthest right) i still talked to all of them......just in case ? i have no idea. i dont know why i did that. i feel it’s important that i note it tho
LMAO SO WHEN SPROUT MOLE MIKE DID THE MINUTE OF SILENCE FOR YE OLD SPROUT MOLE
Tumblr media

You ask I deliver — both tfatws asks in one!
tfatws weekly ask 1
i finally saw ep1!! i wont be able to see ep2 until thursday at the earliest but i already have some Thots on this ep. here are the ones I remember
first is, and i'm so sorry for this, a grammar lesson. an appositive is when you stick an additional phrase in between commas, dashes, or the like. i actually just used one! the "and i'm so sorry for this" in the first sentence of this paragraph is an appositive. thing is, most english speakers don't normally use them when they speak, only in writing. so i'm always on high alert whenever i hear somebody in tv or movies use one. (it's generally a marker of bad screenwriting). anyway there was one right in the beginning of the episode. the white army guy yelling at sam wilson said "first lieutenant Torres, our intel officer, will be helping on the ground." yeah so. the writing of this series started out on the wrong foot for me. but the rest of the episode was obviously tons and tons better (every interview i see with malcolm spellman makes me love him more and more)
the contrast between the opening minutes (falcon action sequence) and the rest of the ep.... i would 100000/10 rather watch a series with just sam and bucky dealing with life. i dont give a single crap about the flag-smashers or any of that. i just want sam, sarah & fam getting their boating business back on the ground & yeeting racist dickwads, bucky going through therapy and making amends, sam and joaquin being bros, sambucky homoerotic tension, etc.
the cinnamontography! wandavision mostly used cinematography to signify era n stuff. tfatws doesn't have wv's premise to go off of, so here's some tricks i noticed:
with sam there's obviously all sorts of shots with the captain america iconography next to his face, but he hasn't totally claimed it. there's the mural of steve rogers in the background; there's sam staring into the shield like it's a spectre of steve's face; there's sam looking into the exhibit, the shield and sam separated by glass and a layer of camera focus. steve is a constant spectre, always there, an idea, a symbol himself. sam's relationship with this iconography is distanced. he is separated by glass exhibit walls. by painting canvases. he doesn't yet feel worthy to take on that iconography. this whole thing was pulled off quite well but also a bit on-the-nose if only in quantity. there's just sooooo much fancy iconography stuff
speaking of the exhibit, there's something that i get real pissy about. it's when like, there's an action going on you're supposed to be paying attention to but the cinematographer is like,,,, hey! check out this location! or this headline! or something! there was a lot of that in the exhibit. the camera was like, you could focus on sam and rhodey's convo (which was fine but could have been so much better with an extra like 10 minutes of deep character study talk) but noooo you want me to look at the symbol for the united nations and read all the text about bucky who hasn't even showed up yet. shut up i know the lore and ill watch the shot-by-shot breakdown yt vids you don't have to make the shot this long jkdsalcjklasejf
my fav trick was with bucky and the therapist. i had seen a clip of the scene with bucky and the therapist beforehand and i thought the cinnamontography was super obnoxious, but then i was like, oh duh. the shots frequently change the distance between the camera and its subject. sometimes it's uncomfortably close and sometimes it's really far. a clear allegory for the duality of therapy, esp for bucky! therapy is an invasive process wherein he is ruthlessly examined, picked apart, and berated for his trauma (this therapist is crap in every way btw, "mean therapist" works for greg house and greg house only). so the camera goes close. it makes the viewer claustrophobic like bucky. but when he's like "no i haven't had any nightmares" the camera suddenly goes really far. we see bucky as this tiny head in the center of the bottom of the frame. we are distanced from him. he has pushed us away. we cannot see him. he lies because he is vulnerable. so yeah, amazing work there. the therapy scene was hard to watch on purpose!
did bucky slip a note to yori inside the dollar bill? bucky stop making me emooooo. the suuper awkward fake smile has me 😭 (veteran trying to adjust!)
mark my worrrrds when sam asks someone y the govt picked john “white bread” walker they’re gonna say “we needed somebody everyone can get behind....someone uncontroversial, someone everyone can see themselves in” like that exact racist dog whistle
tfatws weekly ask 2
just saw ep2 so im taking advantage of the 2 seconds i can be on tumblr without worrying about tfatws spoilers before new episode drops
when isaiah said "your people put me in prison for being a hero" and bucky thought "your people" means hydra. 🤦‍♂️
speaking of racism, the interplay between sam being Black (anti-Black racism) and sam being the Falcon (negrophilia, "can i take a selfie w you as i deny you a loan?") and the intersection between the two (j*hn lichrally called sam "steve's wingman"! he takes the crypto out of crypto-racist in like 2 seconds!) !!!!!!!! a Black celebrity's Black experience, the separation of man and identity!!!! (thinking about vanessa bayer in snl in that skit "beyonce is black" telling her black friend "you're not black, you're...my girl!")
after sam gets racially profiled by cops we see j*hn standing in front of cop cars cinematic parallels turns out j*hn is racist who knew
this therapist sucks major ass but she got bucky and sam together in the same room and ready to collaborate...that's something ig. it was lichrally couple's therapy she said she used her miracle exercise with couples sambucky antis get blended
bucky says "he was wrong about you so maybe he was wrong about me"...that's not how people talk. when therapist asks bucky, the guy who doesn't talk at all about himself, "y do you hate sam", the last thing bucky's gonna do is actually connect his hatred of sam to his own self-worth issues. bucky generally refuses to talk about himself, so why would he talk about himself in the one context that nobody ever links back to their own neuroses: hatred of other people? one thing human beings hate most is admitting we're wrong. admitting you hate someone because of your own issues? that's a major therapeutic step. bucky would absolutely have to be prompted to do that. even like one or two lines of dialogue more would have set up that line better. but in terms of the actual thought? an amazing way to take the sam/bucky relationship. bucky bases his self-worth on steve believing in him, and if steve is wrong bucky has no self-worth, so 1) he has to develop self-worth disassociated from steve's assessment of him and 2) he has to love himself before he can love sam, and 3) he has to realize that sam giving up the shield is a sign of sam's humility not his unworthiness.
conversely, we don't get into why sam hates bucky? yeah sam has the right to hate a guy that has tried to kill him (albeit while brainwashed) multiple times, and now shows up in his life just to bash him but. everything happens so fast i cant follow their relationship
in fact i dont feel like i understood much of anything. like y did bucky and sam go on that mission together? how connected are sam/bucky/joaquin with the government? doesn't bucky just want to retire now? literally what is everyone doing/feeling and why???
if battlestar becomes a knowing commentary on the black best friend stereotype i'm gonna party, but i dont expect much of that
the interplay between man and symbol. captain america is obviously a symbol. the shield is obviously a symbol. but steve rogers? the. man behind the cowl? he too seems to become a symbol. a paragon of a good guy, so good he's unreachable. steve was just a guy stop idolizing him the last thing steve would want is to be idolized
as the resident musician/music nerd on mcublr, 1) that captain america rally music slaps, but 2) re: the song at the end of the ep, if you're just gonna rip off mozart's lacrymosa then at least play mozart's lacrymosa. we wont blame you the lacrymosa slaps (if you dont know what im talking about go on yt and search it up youll recognize it fo sho
look i love enfys nest as much as the next guy but if tfatws is gonna get erin kellyman to play another innocent little gurl blackmailed into the fakeout-villain position (her text seemed to suggest as such) then 😡 like why can't women just....be evil? young, freckly, innocent-looking women? girls are not untouchable pure objects but full of rage and resentment just as much as anyone can be
bonus ep1 comment: bucky says about that senator whose car he hijacked, "she continued to abuse the power i gave her." fictionaldarling on yt say that he says "i" because he can't disassociate himself from his winter soldier persona which begets endless and senseless guilt. like dude. can i not be emo for like 1 second.
OKay. First off, as much I enjoy your sending it to me, what made you decide to send me these??

TFATWS WA #1
Don't worry about getting this to me as early as possible. I usually don't watch the episode right away.
1. Cool writing lesson.
2. Everyone wants a comedy show [like Friends] about the MCU superheroes.
3. Cinematography is always a beautiful thing.
4. Sam definitely has to carve his own Captain America status for himself, outside of Steve's ya know everything.
5. They have to do that for people who was just now tuning in because they're in love with Sam Wilson or Sharon Carter.
6. I think the therapist was taking a 'tough love' approach for Bucky, because she likely has some very strong opinions about the literal assassin she's been assigned to give therapy too. She did not choose to talk to him, she was assigned that make that clear in the second episode.
And, Bucky isn't lying when he said it wasn't a nightmare. It wasn't a nightmare, it was a resurfaced memory. So, technically he wasn't lying - and yes, the camera does move away because while he's saying he didn't have a nightmare, he's not expanding on what actually happened - so, he's still pushing the therapist/us away.
7. Bucky, and Steve, have/had a TON to adjust to.
8. Yeah, I agree that will be the bullshit line they give. If they ever actually talk about it.
TFATW WA #2
Yeah, always got to take advantage of avoiding those spoilers lmfaoo.
1. Honestly, that line was double meaning. Both about White people and Hydra [which is made up of mostly white supremacists/nazis] So, the line is gesturing to both White People in general and Hydra assholes together. I think the terminology is “double edge sword”??
2. This whole paragraph structure confused me, ngl - so I'm going to answer it the best I can. I do like that they're not ignoring the fact that Sam being Black is 1000% the reason he's not the Official Captain America - because the gov't is racist as hell.
I also like the little lines about how they point out little things about Sam's Falcon persona, like that kid calling him 'Black Falcon' specifically and Sam's response show the split between Sam and Falcon itself.
John is a dick for calling Sam the wingman of Steve Rogers. Sam was a hero all on his own before Steve asked him to join up again. [Side note, it's lichrally??]
3. Exactly, the parallel of Sam being profiled and surrounded while just on the street and John being surrounded by fans and being able to spring Bucky with apparently only a few sentences shows a Loooooot
4. Honestly, at this point I wonder if she's not actually a therapist and is just an agent assigned to assess Bucky outside of an Official Building. I do know, however, that her 'look at each other and speak' exercise is actually a real therapy practice. It's just a little slower.
5. Actually, I think he would've blurted that out. That whole line. I don't think Bucky hates Sam. I think they could've done the scene better, but I think that had Sam prodded him/the therapist been more annoying Bucky would've lost control of his emotions and blurted out the whole "If he was wrong about you, he was wrong about me" but I feel like the writing for this show is just... not there. Sometimes you blurt shit when you get overemotional and I think that was what Bucky was supposed to be like.
6. I don't think Sam hates Bucky, I think he doesn't trust him though. I do wish they'd talked about that though. The whole 'talk to each other' scene should've been a LOT longer and a LOT slower.
7. Sam and Bucky's relationship is being fast tracked because they don't really know how to work the relationship out, writers-room-wise. Bucky is technically retired, but I feel like he's trying to live up to Steve's expectations and doing what Steve would've done and we all know that if Steve was there, Steve would've jumped on that plane with Sam. It looks like Sam/Bucky/Joaquin are a side-team based from Military services but as Sam says they're all free agents so...?
8. Sadly, They seem to just be propping up to be another stereotype.
9. Captain America is a symbol. Steve Rogers is a man. But now Steve Rogers is an idol because of all the shit he's been through and honestly, it's not a bad thing he's become an idol for people - it's using Steve as a reason to make White Bread Walker the next Captain that makes Steve's idolization so fucked.
10. I don't know anything about music so I have no opinion here, sorry.
11. Enfys?? Also, I think they did the whole Innocent Girl Thing as side commentary for Bucky lowering his guard about seeing a young girl rather than a guy.
12. Bucky is the Winter Solider. The Winter Solider is Bucky. That is how Bucky will always see it because although he was brainwashed, it was still him and he remembers all of it. When you have constant memories of something 'someone else' did, you tend to not be able to pull the two personas out of each other. I want Bucky to take up the title, White Wolf instead of Winter Soldier. Honest.
This is all my opinion, I’m honestly a little disappointed with the writing of TFATWS so far so... I’m not really optimistic about this.

Most disliked arc (chapter)? Why?
The saltiest cracker you know is me, Bepsi!10. Most disliked arc (in this case, chapter)? Why? 
I bet you saw this shit comin a mile away huh?
Chapter 2.
Now, it might surprise you, but Hoshi dying isn’t even the worst part of the chapter for me. That’s more emotionally gut punching me and my hopes and dreams that joke characters can live past chapter 3. Actually, Hoshi is without a doubt the BEST part of Chapter 2 even with his death, just because of how amazingly he’s written. 
Sadly, even Hoshi cannot save this chapter from showing just how RUSHED and UNPOLISHED it is. Because holy jeEZ THERE’S A LOT WRONG (albeit it’s personal opinion for the most part). So while you may know them, or may learn something new from my opinion, that’s all cool! Under the cut as Chapter 2 is dissected and torn into to learn why it is sadly, my least fav of V3.
- RUSHED.
Now, this is really easy to see, and I’m sure many others have noticed it as well, but it bears a lot of repeating because it’s a problem. Chapter 2 was rushed to high heavens, in the sense that it mainly serves to push the plot along and nothing more. Things happen too quickly in the story at that point, and while the rest of the game is better off for it, this is the ONLY chapter that REALLY does it so blatantly, and it feels very choking as a result of it.- Tenko’s attachment to Himiko needed to happen, absolutely, but I feel like more should have been done in Chapter 1 to show Tenko trying to talk to her more? Maybe, “OOO maybe himiko wants to be my friend??” and more interactions that show that Tenko isn’t just attaching herself to Himiko b/c she’s “the creepy gay” character. - Toujou becoming the fucking supermaid. This one is the most obvious, but mmm. Everyone relying on her suddenly feels super forced, as characters like Shinguuji and Hoshi and even Maki herself, all ask Toujou to do something for them. It feels out of character for them, and the fact that THAT interaction is the MOST she gets in Chapter 2 before the trial is fucking trash and I’ll explain why in a later point, but you can just TELL that they needed SOMETHING to give her ANY story relevance, and it hurts her character a LOT. - Kaito suddenly wanting to help Maki’s super fucking weird. Maybe if it showed Kaito like “sorry Shuichi maybe later, I wanna try talking to Maki” more in this Chapter to really see that he wants to help her, or even just him going more like “hey Shuichi wanna include Maki in our training? I feel like she could use it.” or ANYTHING that mentions Kaito reaching out to Maki more. Because as it is now, it feels like he’s suddenly placing an all or nothing bet and it makes him, p unlikable at that point b/c Shuichi just goes with it for seemingly no reason because “yeah I guess i gotta progress the plot”. - Those are the main points. Maki is done surprisingly well, actually, she’s really good here. Being sus like that and actually not letting you do FTE’s was cool, and i liked it a lot. Angie’s slow buildup was also pretty good as well, but I think they coulda put Tsumugi in w/ Himiko at some point so it’s not ‘suddenly everyone’s brainwashed!’ in chapter 3, as a slower buildup would do it good! Or at least, more buildup, I should say.
- CLUNKY.
This one is a bit harder to explain, and it goes in hand with the pacing issue, but lemme try. Some of the events and dialogue in Chapter 2 just feel, really clunky? Like, Shuichi’s an emotional guy and I totally understand that, but I don’t think he’d just spill his feelings to the guy that punched him for showing weakness not even 2 days ago? I dunno, maybe it’s just me. It feels like a lot of Chapter 2 was glued into the story as requirements rather than actually to tell a story. It comes in a lot of ways, as previously mentioned a lot of relationships are just ‘suddenly there’ rather than actually built up, IE Kaito and Maki, Tenko and Himiko, etc... and it makes the entire Chapter feel like it’s meshed together with ideas that Kodaka REALLY wanted to be in the game or knew would happen later on, but just couldn’t fit them in, so he shoved them in an early chapter and hoped for the best.
- TOUJOU’S ABILITY TO DO JACK DIDDLY SHIT IN TERMS OF STORY.
Somehow, they managed to make one of the stars of this chapter barely active in it. Can you fucking believe that? Like, no really, if you work off of fan translations I want you to open the translation you have, hit CONTROL+F and search for Toujou and see like, the 30 lines she has before the trial. It’s so MINIMAL, it’s so BASIC, and in those 30 sentences she’s treated like a PLOT DEVICE rather than a CHARACTER. I’m sure a bit of the reason as to why Toujou isn’t as popular as most of the other girls is just how hard the Chapter hits her in terms of not giving her any character development (even in the bonus interaction she’s just “i do this for my job” for fucc sake). Like, even if it was played for a laugh that she’s just so constantly work-focused, or the writing took it as a bit of a punchline for some dry humor (”hey toujou what’re ya doin?” “working.” and just have awkward eye contact and the ‘WOW this is awkward’ thought in Shuichi’s head after a few “...” between the both of them as it happens. easy comedy. see???) it at least would make her seem somewhat important compared to the cast. Honestly, it’s like the Tsumugi Effect but in 2 chapters instead of 6. By doing nothing in terms of plot, she basically puts on this huge fucking sign that says “HEY GUYS IM NOT STORY RELEVANT BECAUSE NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO ME SO I WILL PROBABLY DIE AS A KILLER OR VICTIM” Her trial behavior is really hit or miss as well, because some might find her ruthlessness to be really cool and makes her actually fucking interesting at any point in the story, while others might find it unlikable, excessively cruel, or just out of character for Toujou no matter how desperate she may be. Let alone that her US demographic prolly tanked quite a lot w/ her story focusing on POLITICS of all things (one of the three no-no’s in any conversation), making her very very hard to like, besides on an aesthetic level. Let alone her FTE’s are the worst in the game, as you still barely learn anything about her outside of “im a maid and im good at my job” or other points that the main story already tells you (besides that she once coddled a man so hard he became dependent and that her only weakness is not cutting konjac right ever). It just makes her feel like a barren and incomplete character.
- TOUJOU’S ABILITY TO DO EVERYTHING SO WELL SHE CAN EVEN FUCK HERSELF OVER AMAZINGLY.
Everyone has heard me go on and on about this, but if it doesn’t get said no one will know it so I keep repeating it until the end of time.By making her plan so complex, she basically fucks herself. By making a crime that only someone as competent as her could accomplish, it fucks her because only she can do it. XD. Literally, who do you think would have been able to do all that shit in one night? Saihara’s too weak to drown Hoshi. Don’t fight me on this, because if you seriously believe the detective in training with little self defense training (he worked on infidelity and missing pet/kid cases for fuck sake, his life isn’t really on the line all that often so he prolly wouldn’t know or have to train all that much to protect himself) can take the tennis player that killed over 200 people and has been playing tennis basically all his life (enough to go INTERNATIONAL in MIDDLE SCHOOL) in a fight, we’re gunna need to have a talk.Gonta’s too heavy to use the ropeway.Kiibo’s too heavy to use the ropeway and too weak to carry Hoshi’s body.Himiko’s too weak to drown someone and attempt to shove them in the staircase (which I will touch on real soon here on why even attempting to frame her the way Toujou tried to was dumb as shit).Angie’s... lbr here, prolly missing a few too many tools in her toolbox to really think of a ropeway to kill Hoshi with.Shinguuji’s too weak (and before I get arguments on this, if u think this underweight twig of a man can take out Hoshi when Hoshi’s prolly faster than him and could just run ur wrong)Maki who was the Child Caregiver at the time would be seen as too weak to do anything to Hoshi too (even if she lifts kids, again, Hoshi is fucking rIPPED and has killer legs)Ouma’s too weak (i mean he’s underweight and looks like a twig)Kaito’s a fucking moron when it comes to master plans and wouldn’t have been able to plain something like a ropeway murder (let alone his idol complex wouldn’t have let him kill Hoshi most likely... unless it was a Mondo situation but that’s a later talk)Tenko’s also a fucking moron when it comes to long term planning let alone she wouldn’t touch a man unless to flip him to death, which makes the ropeway seem almost pointlessTsumugi’s too weak to (i mean... rlly. u rlly think she could take him down? under the assumption she isn’t the mastermind ofc at this point in the story, but even then sneak murdering all the kills seems kinda.... eh? too hard for her to do.) Miu’s also a fucking moron that wouldn’t think of using a ropeway (actually, she prolly woulda done the smarter option and just pushed Hoshi’s body out his fucking window since a ropeway would be too much effort)By process of COMMON SENSE, only Toujou would make something so NEEDLESSLY COMPLICATED in an attempt to murder a guy. 
- THE DUMBEST PLAN ON EARTH AND HOW YOU COULD PLAN A SIMILAR MURDER AND GET AWAY WITH IT EASY. 
Toujou’s plan is fucking dumb when you can think of SO many other ways to get Hoshi killed with more leeway as to who coulda done it. So I bring up the window in his lab, because literally you could just push him out of it and the fall would prolly splatter that midget cunt on the ground no problem. Hell, even handcuff him. Nearly anyone could have pushed Hoshi out of the window, meaning there’s a possibility that Maki or Kaito could have done it w/o that stupid fucking ropeway let alone anyone at night (or hell even during the DAY since time of death was obscured), and it wouldn’t LEAVE THE FUCKING GLOVE.MMMM OKAY RANT HERE REAL QUICK I MEAN IT THAT FUCKING TRASH BAG GLOVE IRRITATES ME. Like, hhh I know Kodaka wanted to make a case where something like the glove gets the killer caught, but HOLY SHIT was it poor to use in a case like this. It not only feels like it’s out of place for her not to just get it in the morning, but why the fuck would she use her gloves anyways?? Why not use Hoshi’s hat? Anyone could use Hoshi’s hat as hand protection down the moronic ropeway and since it’s a beanie it’s prolly made of more strong material than I guess whatever her shit gloves are made of, since they tore like fuckin trash when she went down the ropeway. As someone that wears cut and heat protection gloves because of my job, the gloves she uses are HORRIBLY inefficient (let alone if she’s cleaning before touching food w/ them on... like please don’t that can cause so many health problems) to try and stop ropeburn. She could have also just poisoned everyone, or killed them all in their sleep, to make her job easier on herself. Can’t have a trial if no one’s there after all right? No one would suspect Toujou working on her fuckin job to come and snap their necks during the night or w/e, or poison their food before the show. But also framing Himiko is really fucking dumb. Like, she expects me to believe that Himiko, who is only 2 more pounds than Hoshi mind you, managed to drown him and stuff him in that staircase, and pull him out during the show in under a minute. LOL no. Hoshi looks like he can break her arms like fucking toothpicks without even trying?? Let alone her laziness makes it look REALLY hard for her to have planned a fucking murder. The fact that like, the first hour of the trial wants me to believe Himiko could be the killer is asinine, just because of how basically fucking illogical it is.What Toujou could have done instead, was leave his body drowned in the sink. Yeah, it’d be harder because not everyone can drown Hoshi (ie. Himiko and Ouma and prolly a few others that are considered sticks or weak), but there are a lot of people who could, and drowning someone is a lot easier than the stupid ropeway piranha bullshit. OR PUSH HIM OUT HIS WINDOW. JUST KILL EVERYONE THAT WAY COME ON.Actually, she coulda killed two people easy. Just have someone gullible like Saihara come to meet her at night in the lab after she’s already pushed Hoshi out the window (or even just come running to his room with a bullshit excuse that she saw a shadow ‘running away’ and saw that something happened in the tennis lab) and push him out the window too. Boom, makes it look like a murder gone wrong, and the only alibi that’d be able to testify about the events is hers. Easy win, everyone else gets executed.I get it, in the end, it needs to be a solvable mystery in a mystery game, but it ends up making Toujou look like a complete moron as a result of it, which is unfortunate.
- MOTIVE VIDEOS ARE RIGGED AS SHIT.
Upon learning what hers and Hoshi’s are, it seems almost rigged that they would have to be the killer and victim respectively. Hoshi’s telling him to ‘kys’ and Toujou’s saying ‘lol go kill someone’ makes it like... even if everyone else saw theirs that they’d be like.. the only two to really act on theirs besides MAYBE Miu or POSSIBLY Angie. And then we also see Ouma’s?? And his is just actively “lol u don’t kill bitch but u should do it anyways” making it seem almost counter productive. Like, bitch it just said Ouma made a rule that no killing was a thing and u genuinely expect his ass to break that? ha. The odds were stacked against the two of them, which makes it only seem more forced in the long run. Which is great from a meta standpoint, but a story can be meta while still being fun, enjoyable, and flowing functionally and logically. Which this chapter isn’t really.
- THE SADLY NOT REDEEMING BUT STILL SUPER GOOD HOSHI FACTOR.
Now, the one thing that I can praise this chapter for really well despite all its shortcomings is Hoshi’s characterization and his story. For one chapter he really makes a hard hit at the time, and it’s easy to become engrossed in his little background story about him wanting to find a reason to live. The real cherry on top is his writing and his interactions with the few people he interacts with. with Kaito, it really shows the disposition that Kaito has against him and just how Hoshi is so understanding of others and like... nice. Even when he wants a goal that goes against everyone, he still respects them. “I won’t do something reckless to endanger everyone.”, and acknowledging that it’s an entirely selfish reason why he wants to find the videos and will still not hurt anyone to do it. He may have threatened to show Maki’s video to everyone in exchange for his own from her, but he never hits her or directly harms / threatens her w/ violence or anything extremely dirty. It’s respectable. Ohhh, and Saihara’s dynamic with him is just so sPOT ON HERE. Between the great advice and compliments in general he has for Saihara such as “the world can be bright for someone that’s looked down for so long, be careful” and “you’re confident compared to before, like a weight is lifted off your back. it’s a good look for you” and other such flattery, to Hoshi being a bit more open to Saihara about his feelings (feeling jealous about everyone else having a reason to live, wanting to find one himself, openly admitting he feels he has no purpose in his life and wants to find a reason to be happy like everyone else, etc.). But this dynamic goes both ways, as Saihara also can read Hoshi super fucking well. Like, seeing the Tennis Lab is a great example of it. When Hoshi states the past is behind him, Saihara thinks to himself ‘but then why are you looking at the court with such sad eyes Hoshi-kun?’ and it’s like, just really nice that Saihara’s not dense? Like, Hoshi expresses himself pretty poetically, with the way he talks and whatnot, acting like a wise sage type w/ endless wisdom all the time, so Saihara being able to read past all the flowery language to just hear “god i miss tennis” or “im depressed” is really REALLY refreshing, and a nice balance to see. If you do Hoshi’s FTE’s it personally makes it even better, but that’s not a requirement so moving on. Even just Saihara asking him things like “are you doing well?” or “Is this what you want?” or “or just the small but surprisingly deep talks they just seem to have with one another are tiny details that really complete the dynamic that they can both read each other and can react to one another super well. It feels balanced between the both of them, even in Chapter 1, and it’s a shame Hoshi had to die because I would have LOVED to see how far it could go and how much it could have been expanded on in the later chapters. 
Sadly however, no matter how great Hoshi is, it can’t save Chappie 2 from it’s endless faults and gripes that I have with it, that ultimately make the story less entertaining as a result.

My friend (let’s call her X) is still friends with my ex and it really bothers me 😭 we broke up in 2020 after two years and X became friends with her, after she broke up with me X stayed friends and I’m still upset about it 😭 I’ve had other friends tell me I’m not overreacting but also other people have told me I am 💀 I just feel really betrayed (for context my ex broke up with me because I wanted her to be more emotionally intimate and she literally called me abusive and toxic for wanting that 🥴 and X knows that!) and sad and I’ve distanced myself from X ever since and I can’t tell her about it bc I don’t wanna be controlling and I shouldn’t have to ask. I have other friends who aren’t v close who are still following ((yes I checked…)) my ex but I don’t mind bc we aren’t close and they don’t know the details 😭 am I crazy 😔 Anyway this has been a little confession 💗
hi anon! first of all im so sorry this has happened! and second of all i know what youre going thru tbh. not w/ a dating thing, but a friendship.
i had (or so i thought lol) a best friend on tumblr- and we were friends for years!! and then we had a major falling out. and she was/is still mutuals w/ a lot of my mutuals. im not in that fandom really anymore because it was too painful. it hurt to have my friends still be friends w/ her. a few of my friends felt awkward themselves about the whole situation, while others wanted to remain neutral. but no matter what i was still hurt in the situation from the loss of my friendship. so i said that to say i get you. youre not crazy for feeling that pain. clearly that wasn't a good relationship for you - esp if she called you toxic. that's what my ex friend told me.
i think maybe you SHOULD have a dialogue w/ ur friend about this if it bothers you that much. but only talk to ur friend if you think it might help? maybe telling her would help clear the air a bit and take a load off of your shoulders.
also i know exactly what you mean about feeling betrayed. though often times mutual friends like that don't think about it- so they might not see it as a betrayal until you make them aware of it. but def don't accuse or assume they are betraying you - just simply tell them that's how it feels. choose words wisely here!!
if ur friend is a good friend they should understand the uncomfortable feelings you have and should be willing to listen even if nothing comes of it but to make you feel a little better. i know i felt better when i told my friends about my ex friend even if they were still mutuals with her.
sleepover weekend!

THE SARAH LIVINGSTON DEBACLE SHOULD BE MADE FUN OF AT ALL TIMES AND I AM GLAD IT IS BY YOU GOOD SIR
ACTUAL TRANSCRIPT OF THE SARAH LIVINGSTON DEBACLE:Ben: *collapses, having been Shot, and falls unconscious not too long after a haunting and beautiful song plays. he is then rescued from the pouring rain like an Austenian Heroine*Sarah: *displays Strenth by dragging a soaking wet Grown Man several yards, Capability and Know-How by Healing His Wound, Softness™  and Compassion by praying for and weeping over him, Fierceness when she literally threatens him at gunpoint, and then hints at a Deeper Backstory*They: *look at each other*Ohhhhhhh my *furiously wipes off sunglasses but like w a gluestick bc i don’t wanna see anymore, we All know exactly where this is going in fact we Know the second we see her Their first convo is innocent enough Ben: christ ive been shot againSarah: howd u like to be shot again if u dont start talkingBen: wow okay uhm well it’s the honest truth i was doin the lords workSarah: …that flies I guess heres ur necklaceBen, thinking: ew gross I took that from a dead man *aloud* haha thank u :)
AND THEN THEY’RE LITERALLY A HALLMARK MOVIE OKAY THEY CHECK EVERY HALLMARK MOVIE BOX WE HAVE THIS SOLITARY LADY, LATER CONFIRMED WIDOW, CARING FOR A WOUNDED SOLDIER BOY? And there’s a lil bit of a Mistaken Identity Element to it bc she thinks she’s actually caring for a Wounded Preacher Boy. Goes all the way up thru helping him walk as they exchange Awkward Smiles and even more awkward dialogue The cringiest dinner scene ever oh my soul and body it does not get more awkwar- the only more awkward food scene is the cut version of this scene. Sarah decides Ben’s trustworthy enough to unlock the Tragic Backstory and Ben just. flatlines. “…I have no idea how to respond and I’m gonna seek refuge in this plate of whatever we’re eating…”  Later that evening Sarah gets sus that Ben has a fever and apparently determines that he is indeed Hot™  tu sais ce que je dis?this is the only instance in the entirety of TURN that they are at all timely with the fade to black we get like five seconds of Ben going “holy sh-” and then it’s over. Thank. Heaven. the music is on point tho. They have a weirdly Nice theme.
AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING BEN’S TRYNA BE ALL LOVEY DOVEY AND SARAH’S JUST LIKE “NOPE SORRY I’LL GIVE YOU A HASHBROWN OR SMTHN AND THEN YOU CAN GO”AND IT GOES SO HILARIOUSLY WRONG SO FAST IT’S A TRAINWRECK AS BEN TRIES TO SALVAGE THIS ‘RELATIONSHIP’ AND JUST MAKES IT WORSE. IT’S ZERO TO A THOUSAND “but sarah im,,,,a patriot,”“YOURE TRASH IS WHAT YOU ARE”“WAIT WHAT”“TRASH”and she just goes from kicking him out to kicking him the hell Out she means it.
his very first girlfriend and it goes just about as horribly as it possibly can X’D And then, then X’D He has to crawl back thru miles of Dangerous Territory, All By Himself X’D And he gets back to camp! AND FINDS OUT ALL THE CULPER STUFF HAS GONE TO HELL AND ANNA  LITERALLY DID PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING AS HIM X’D *coughs* it’s horrible tbh it’s so- it’s so bad it’s freaking hysterical like it’s one massive ball of “OH NO” 
just the fact that some TURN Writer was like *loudly slurping a milkshake or something probably* “you know what we should do? We should derail Ben on a completely unnecessary misadventure that is orchestrated with no bigger purpose than getting him in bed with somebody and, once we kill her, giving him some ongoing backburner angst that has little to no actual impact on the overall plot. The fans will love it.”
gotta laugh to stave off the frustrated indignation and tears :’)

crush the asks!
ask: Man what to do when all your crushes are on the internet and you're half worried that their catfish in but the other half is how pretty they are
you could always try back searching the images with google? or! if you feel comfortable enough, you could ask to skype or talk through a voicechat, whatever gets you more comfortable that they’re okay with too!
ask: I kinda have a crush on this guy and we're just friends right now. But there is a rumor that at camp (our grade took a camping trip to a lake for a couple days the first of school to bond) I gave him a blowjob/we hooked up it varies (WE DIDNT BTW). It's only, like, the 3rd week of school and idk what to do. I kinda like him but ahhhh. I don't know who spread the rumor everyone says they just heard it from all over. Ugh idk what to do at all help
it’s not true, you’ve got nothing to worry about! i’m really sorry to hear that though, it must be stressful, especially since you think you might like them + people might judge you for it. but! if you can both verify that it’s not true and shut the rumour down, even go to a member of staff if it’s really distressing, that might help you out a little? hope you’re doing okay! <3
ask: Hello I've had a crush on my best friend and now we're dating just thought you'd like to know!
:DDDDDD i’m so glad for you both!! thank you for telling me!!!!
ask: So... I think my crush is dating my ex? He told me he started dating someone but he won't tell me who and I think it's cause it's my ex. They've been hanging out a lot more and I see them together on snap sometimes. I don't wanna confront them cause it'd be awkward and I'm friends with them but it just is kinda weird what do I doooooo
if you’re friends with them, hopefully you’d feel comfortable enough to talk it out? especially if it’s something that’s really bothering you. i’m really sorry to hear that though, i hope you get some closure on it. lots of love to you. <3 <3
ask: I've liked this guy for almost a year and I just can't seem to get him out of my head. He's an amazing person, but I just don't know if he feels the same. We'll have phases where we'll talk everyday and he'll tell me personal things and we'll have inside jokes and he'll make me feel amazing and my heart just swells. Then we'll have phases where we don't talk for days or weeks and I feel like crumbling. I just don't know if he's worth it or if should really get over him once and for all. Advice?
the only way you’ll ever get across that you like them is to tell them. i know that’s always the most difficult option, but if you ask to see them for coffee/or simply ask them if they’d like to go on a date sometime, hopefully you’ll get the message across! since they’re on your mind so much, i think it’d be really good for you to find out what’s going on there. good luck to you, whatever happens!
ask: yesterday he asked me if he copied something down right but it was literally just one simple math question. not even the answer just an x + 3 kinda problem
they could be looking for an excuse to talk to you or simply think they copied it down wrong ‘:D no way of telling! you could get to know them more and see if they do really want to talk?
ask: I have a crush on this boy I play video games online w and I shouldn't have one and I don't know why I do but it happened and I just,, ugh. Idk what to do bc he isn't really my type and he lives a long way away and he most likely likes someone else?? and he's kind of afraid of being bi??? but I want?? To date him??? His laugh is cute and he's nice to me and calls me the right pronouns which I guess is the bare minimum but. I'm new to crushes and relationships too even though I'm 18 lol so help??
if you know them well enough, you could always talk these sort of feelings out with them? it might help start an open dialogue about how both of you feel, even if!! that’s the most difficult option sometimes. it does sound like there’s a lot obstructing you two, which really sucks?? it’s also okay to observe your feelings from a distance, to try and pick up if it’s romantic/friendshippy and a sudden romantic feeling vs a long term one, if that makes any sense?? i’m really glad you two get on so well though!! :D
ask: Can you give me advices to talk to my crush, pleeeeeeease
take a step back from them being your crush! observe them simply as any other person you really want to get to know and work from there! do they have any interests in common with you? any friends that could get you talking? that sort of thing!!
ask: Is it possible to have a crush on someone you've never met, but only know about?
personally, i’d say you have to know the person. whether that’s talking to them through text, through the phone or face to face! that’s just my opinion! and also, it depends on what you’d define a crush as! for instance, i would probably give my life for griffin mcelroy, but, i don’t have a long term romantic attraction to him because i haven’t talked or known him, if that makes any sense?
ask: 😖i like a guy but he is a lil bit older than me... and im hella anxious i dont even know him that well!!! Help please💕 what should i do?
hi!! as always, i’d say over 18/under 18 crushes and relationships are really!! strongly not advised here. but, if you’re both under or both over, it’s totally okay to get to know them! take a deep breath and try to serperate them from what you know to just get your own experience and view of them!! :D<3

☾ ♥ ● ♦
I put this under a readmore bc it’s LONG AS FUCK im sorry
☾: Favorite moment from your Muse's canon, and why. (If your Muse is an OC, then favorite aspect of their story.)
i love this question.
Belle: my fave is def the scene where she’s taking care of the Beast after the wolves attack them and he gets all grumpy and she Shuts That Shit Down. i take so much of my inspo for belle from that scene alone tbh--but i also do love the opening sequence and how could you not love I WANT ADVENTURE IN THE GREAT WIDE SOMEWHEREEEE
Simba: ugh, so many good moments, but the best scenes in the whole movie are def the stars scene with mufasa and when simba sees rafiki. i also LOVE LOVE nala and simba’s reunion. also, ofc, okay this part is def my fave: the running back to pride rock UGH THAT SCENE
Toulouse: FFT FFT FFT!! that was legit the only part of the movie i remembered from watching it as a little kid. also when he and ber are fighting on the piano, i love that scene, it’s so cute.
Bambi: the part where thumper and bambi are like hanging out and thumper is teaching bambi to say shit. and he’s like BIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD and he’s walking along following this lil butterfly, ugh so precious my darling.
Perdita: gosh there is not a lot of canon perdy tbh but i do love her and anita’s relationship. also when she’s kickin ass and taking names to save her babies. also how she really doesn’t want to get covered in coal and pongo says “c’mon perdy time to put on your make up!” 
Sweet: everything?? about him??? he’s so great?? all his lines?? but i love the part where he’s taking care of the old king the best bc before that moment he’s kind of been liek quippy and comic relief but u get to really see his compassion and strength and steadiness in that scene and i love it.
Maui: his backstory, definitely. that was what made me really interested in playing him bc he totally models slyth but is actually a big ole puff and just wants people to love him. also i like the scene where he leaves moana after she Fucks Up (tm) i know that’s probably a weird scene to love but idk i thought it was super interesting.
Hercules: alskdjfladjkflaskjdfljfl EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM?? herc is just my precious darling. but i love how awkward he is but then how FIERCE he gets when he’s protecting people. like you think what a soft marshmellow how is he a hero and then when faced with danger he RISES and it just always warms my heart. my fave is the hydra scene bc that’s the first time he’s like rly sUCCESSFUL as a hero and it’s such a good fight and he uses his strength to his ADVANTAGE ugh i lvoe hercules.
Attina: ahaha she also doesn’t have a lot of canon, but def my favorite is when they find out that ariel has been #gettindown at the club and attina is like NO ABSOLUTELY NOT and hten everyone makes puppy faces at her and she caves so easily. i based a lot of her character on that. like she seems like a hardass but she’s rly not she wants her sisters to be HAPPY
Akela: gosh, he really does not have a lot of canon to go off of at all, in either movie. i’m gonna say the Law of the Jungle. That’s really important to his development in my head. also the scene in the live-action with grey where he tells him that the runts get eaten sometimes bc it’s like the only time he’s not the Serious Alpha but to me it just showed this like softer side to him? that was playful--and i based a lot of his character on that.
♥: One thing you love about your Muse.
Belle: laksdjflkajdf what don’t i love about belle? i mean as a character as a whole i love how inspiring she was to all young girls who loved to read and encouraging girls to be SMART and not be SHY about it. to EMBRACE their bRAINS which is such an important lesson for young girls. and i really love that about my belle too. that she is very demure about a lot of things but DO NOT QUESTION HER INTELLIGENCE. it is the one thing she will unflinchingly defend about herself and i don’t think we see that enough in female characters.
Simba: i love how much simba loves himself. i make fun of it quite a bit, bc he can be so over the top with it, but i really appreciate his level of self-care because that’s something i struggle with. like--not so much confidence, i have a decent amount of that but just, he really does take care of his overall physical health. he exercises, he showers, he eats properly (tho i mean he eats a lot too and lets himself indulge which is important). but he like idk keeps his beard trimmed and takes care of his skin and this sounds like a really weird thing to admire but since i struggle w depression, it’s nice to see ppl who function normally even tho he also struggles w depression. ALSO i love his flirting. haha. inspires me to be a better flirt.
Toulouse: kind of self care too, in a way? i love that lou is unapologetic about who he is, even when he doesn’t like himself. and he really does take care of himself before anyone else. like he does not let other’s opinions (except his siblings) influence his decisions and that’s something i struggle with. it actually makes lou one of my most genuine characters, because if he is sweet to you, if he helps you, if he protects you, he’s doing it because he wants to, not out of any obligation. as someone who struggles to say “no” to people, it’s admirable.
Bambi: ahaha honestly there isn’t much i admire about bambi. not because he’s a bad person but because he’s a teen who is still finding himself and struggling with a lot of self loathing and is in that place in his life where he is making mistakes. but, i do like that, writing him, im getting a--chance to look back and rexamine teenhood from a new perspective which is interesting and fun.
Perdita: i love how FIERCE she is. i always say perdita’s attitude is mine if i didn’t care about what people thought of me and that’s definitely true. i love that the first impression that paul got from her was she didn’t care what anyone thinks BUT i love that she really actually does too bc it just adds so much dynamic.
Sweet: gosh i love how level-headed he is. as someone who is temperamental i really appreciate characters like sweet and poca and haku who are very centered and strong and sturdy. i appreciate their calm presence in my head. i also LVOE how poetic writing him is. he’s one of my characters i feel like i can indulge lyrically in my words with the most.
Maui: i love how conflicted maui is. i love that he has this really stark duality to him and is much more than his cocky exterior and he genuinely really does care about people, not just about the attention, though that is a big draw. i also love what a BOY he is. it’s really fun to play him walking that line of fuckboi and genuine person.
Hercules: what a PRECIOUS MUFFIN HE IS. i just love the whole super strength but has no way to control it thing. it’s just a great duality to play with. like he is so gentle and so afraid of hurting people but has this awesome power. he’s just very precious to me just so sweet and good and pure. 
Attina: my self indulgent bae ahaha. i love that she’s a MERMAID i love that she’s so bubbly. i don’t have any BUBBLY characters. and she’s so happy and smiley. i mean, simba is kinda like that both of them just Radiate Joy. and i also love playing sisters. i love love the family dynamic and the fact that there is so many of them, because it just leads to such RICH character development. i love what a romantic she is. i love how soft and kind but how protective. how scared but how brave. ugh my beeb
Akela: he’s another really calm person. i love that akela doesn’t linger on his mistakes. he has regrets. he acknowledges when he’s done something wrong and then--wait for it--HE MOVES ON. he doesn’t dwell. he doesn’t beat himself up. he picks himself up and dust himself off and moves on. which is so refreshing bc most of my characters are wallowers ahhaa
●: If you could say just one thing to your Muse, what would it be?
Belle: GIRL I S2G GET SOME FUCKIN SELF CONFIDENCE it just really annoys me that she needs to be poked and prodded into feeling good about herself bc she’s so BRAVE AND STRONG AND KIND AND WONDERFUL she’s perfect and she SHOULD KNOW THAT SHE IS WORTH GOOD THINGS
Simba: honey, stop, trying, to, please, everyone,, it’s not gonna work and you’re just gonna wind up making a mess of things. also i love you /pets
Toulouse: i s2g i have so many things that i could say to toulouse but if i could ever interact w some real form of him u know what i would do? i would give him a goddamn hug. just a good, long hug where he can put his lil head on my shoulder and just relax. he craves physical affection ppl
Bambi: i would give him support about his choices and tell him it’s okay to be afraid but he should be brave too bc being brave is the best fuck u to all the people who want to scare you.
Perdita: i understand why you did what you did and i don’t blame you for it. 
Sweet: keep doin you babe
Maui: IT’S OKAY YOU CHEATED JUST LIVE UP TO IT NOW (also you are real hot and we should date)
Hercules: embrace ur powers lil honey u are wonderful
Attina: relax babe you should take care of YOURSElF (she won’t listen to me)
Akela: i’m sorry about your family *gives him snuggles*
♦: Relationship with your Muse.
im gonna answer this like “how does the muse come about” kinda deal bc this question is weird
Belle: well her voice comes so easily to me i love it except it’s SO thinky. she is always who i write the longest posts on bc she just examines everything but i love it bc i so do not think like that but it opens my mind to interesting thought processes i haven’t explored myself before. though i also edit her the most bc her dialogue is SO HARD. it’s getting better tho as she gets more confident but it only takes one set back to go back to stuttering and holding her tongue.
Simba: gosh. i love his voice. it’s so COLORFUL. i can write simba all day because even in his darkest moments he is so BRIGHT and he feels everything so deeply. i love his background. i love writing about africa and islam and how he is bisexual and his race (but in the little things like how he has sensitive skin and likes movies like Hairspray lol). he’s really so different from me in so many ways, but he’s also an accumulation of like all the men in my life i’ve admired so he has a v special place in my heart.
Toulouse: gosh i love toulouse. idk his voice comes SO naturally to me. he is, without a doubt, the character i just instinctually know the best. i can’t even explain it but he just popped into my head completely formed. i knew everything about him almost immediately and even the things that came later just fell into place so easily. i just love him because he is so complicated and dynamic and feels so deeply while also having a really complicated relationship with those emotions. writing him is both frustrating bc he always makes the same mistakes, but very easy for me.
Bambi: ugh i love bam. he’s another one that i just loved from the start. i wanted him for so so long before i actually got him and he just mad sense to me. i love his shyness. i like writing his view of the world since he def has so much influence from books and movies and he thinks in like tropes a lot and i’ve never written like that before and it’s super fun.
Perdita: i love how concise she is. i love all the sharp language i get to use with her. how every sentence i feel like i hit the period mark really fiercely. every sentence is important and to the point. she doesn’t like meander and as someone with flowy writing it’s nice to be able to know that i can do shorter stuff.
Sweet: UGH i love the poetry to his voice. making him a poet was a great move on my part bc i just looooove it. i love his voice. how calm. how gentle. how wise. and beautiful tbh. also all his experience is really fun to write. he’s like a fully formed person.
 Maui: i think i mentioned this but what a BOY he is. i love it. i love being able to play with the line between saying shitty sexist things but not knowing they’re shitty and sexist and really being a (mostly) genuine person but not always kosher or PC or anything like that.
Hercules: im still getting used to his voice but i really like how much he curses lmao he is like FUCK FUCK FUCK in his head at all times and i love that bc he’s so soft and smol and it’s such a funny contrast. also i get to play with humor and irony a lot with him and that’s fun. hopefully i can do more allusions to mythology once i start working with his powers more and that’ll be fun
Attina: i love her OCD. i think it makes for really interesting writing because people with OCD repeat phrases and stuff a lot and always having to be hyperaware of her actions like--remembering she doesn’t like to touch people and remembering that she locks the door nine times and that she doesn’t eat food from public places. it just really plants me in her head every time i write her.
Akela: his connection to nature. tbh being able to play as a wolf im ngl. but also a LEADER that people RESPECT AND LISTen TO. also i love how his voice is sad but not depressingly so. so it makes it really interesting to write like balancing all that emotional with his cool, level-headness.
