hi hi sunshine <3

I MIGHT be curious about this one from your wips:

"Sugar Daddies Choi"

would you maybe share something about this wip of yours? <3

hihi sunflower! <3 hehe I can share something about it yes. Well, it basically came into existence as a result of a conversation between @callmeghostly and @rems-writing when we were discussing the Chois and some of their US tour pics that had come out last year, when this all started lol. But basically Jongho and San are husbands who are reader's sugar daddies and there's not much plot to it yet, because I believe this will quickly devolve into smut.

and of course a lil snippet of it hehe (below the cut because I feel like it's kinda suggestive-ish, so I'm taking precautions)

“Are you going to tell me why you’re here or just continue staring at me, darling?” Jongho asked you, standing up and walking towards you, his chest being revealed as he finished unbuttoning the final two buttons on his way over.

“Well I can’t help staring if you look like that. Plus I never thought I’d see the day where the very plain dressing Choi Jongho wears leopard print.” You said in return.

The CEO raised an eyebrow at your words, daring you to say more. You’re about to, not one to back down from a challenge, when you both hear the front door to the apartment open, and San’s voice rings out.

“Where are you two? I know you’re both here.”

You turn to Jongho with a cheeky smile, having seemingly won this round, before turning to leave the room to find your other sugar daddy.

You find him in the living room, laying back on the couch with his legs spread open. The perfect amount of space for you to kneel in between his thighs, you thought as you crossed the room to greet him.

“Hi Sannie,” you greeted him as you sat on the couch next to the man. Though you were quickly pulled into his lap instead.

This probably has a target audience of only like 3 other people, but I’ve been playing Peggle since I was like 4, and I realized recently that ever since, I’ve unconsciously headcanoned all but one of the Peggle masters as not-straight. I wasn’t even aware of it, I never actually thought to myself “that character is gay”, that’s just how they were in my head, and I never had to think it specifically, it was practically subconscious.

Sorry if this doesn’t matter to anyone but I needed to talk about it and my friends don’t know the game and my brother doesn’t care

Anyway here’s what I headcanon each of them as now that I’ve been able to think about it for real. Pt 1:

Bjorn Unicorn: Gay

Jimmy Lightning: AroAce

Kay Tut: Pansexual

Spork Sporkan: I’m not sure but just not straight. (it kind of works cause he’s an alien so maybe his species has different understanding of gender and sexuality)

Claude Lobster: Bisexual

Renfield Pumpkin: Gay/Ace

Warren Rabbit: Bisexual

Tula Flower: Bisexual

Lord Cinderbottom: Gay

Master Hu: Asexual

Apparently literally NOBODY on the internet has any kind of documentation on the extra features in Peggle Dual Shot; not even SPRITER'S RESOURCE, of all places!

Therefore, I took it upon myself to download a ROM (it was NOT hard to find) and screengrab all 10 of the Bonus Underground areas.

It's actually pretty interesting how seamless they look on emulator (barring the literal seam in Hu's hourglass); usually DS games put in some kind of invisible gap in two-part images to accommodate the gap between screens in the actual hardware, which looks awkward on an emulator.

[dreamatia-stories]

Design Notes: The Original Ten Peggle Masters

If you follow my main, you might know that Peggle Dual Shot for the DS has a mechanic known as the Bonus Underground. Each playable Master that made it in (Marina got axed, presumably due to hardware limitations) has a unique background and layout, and most notably for this project, different colored Gems to collect.

Why is this notable? Because I made sure that all ten of them got that color somewhere on their design for OoD. If playing Magic Pengel has taught me anything, it's that colors bring meaning to life, and also that I'm drawn to bright things like a toddler.

And I figured that while I'm explaining that, I might as well explain the rest of the choices I made. Note that I'll be using avatars from Recolor as "concept art", so some details may be off.

This'll be a long post, so bear with me here.

Bjorn's Gems are Orange, as reflected in his hat, jacket, and shorts. His glasses being orange are a complete coincidence, though; that element was actually taken from his appearance in Blast!

(Funnily enough, earlier drafts from before Blast's release had Bjorn getting his eyesight damaged in a fight with Fnord; in the current lore, he's always had nearsightedness that he actively hid with his magic for...Fnord's-eyepatch-related reasons)

His outfit is a little out-there, but it's definitely grown on me. I wanted to go for more RPG Hero than Superhero, specifically an agile spear-wielder. Horses are pretty fragile animals, and a having a jabbing weapon rather than a traditional heroic sword serves as a nod to his horn.

The biggest change I made from the concept when drawing is probably his hat, which loses its brim and gets a horseshoe instead of a star. My goal with all the Institute Masters is to hide a horseshoe somewhere in their design to tie them all together; it's gonna be harder for some Masters than for others.

(The Academy has its own insignia: a flipped horseshoe resembling an omega, as seen on Fnord's eyepatch in canon.)

Jimmy's Gems are Blue, as seen on his jeans and elbow pads. Not many places I can hide a theme color on an already-clothed Master, but thankfully our favorite gopher (who I thought was a guinea pig for years cause science) is consistently pantsless.

While there was no getting rid of his iconic hat, I did give him some protection from impacts in his elbow pads. I gave him jeans to look more like a Rad Cool Kid(tm), but apparently it's recommended skaters wear them due to being wear-and-tear resistant.

While I'm pretty sure it's just weird artifacting from cranking up the saturation slider in Recolor, it kind of looks like he's got green patches or leggings, the latter of which I would definitely wear if I was forced to wear jeans for whatever reason.

If I had to add a horseshoe, it'd probably be some kind of charm on his hat.

Kat Tut's Gems are Cyan, which can be seen, uh...everywhere.

I'm not gonna lie I had ZERO ideas on what to do for KT. I knew Recolor had an "Egyptian Headdress" item (which I'm not sure were actually a thing in Ancient Egypt) and went from there. I do like the silhouette of the headpiece, though.

I wanted something light and show-offy, since Kat Tut is an acrobat and a performer, and well...something definitely happened.

This is probably the most likely to be subject to change, even if I do like the flowy shapes.

Splork's Gems are Yellow, as seen in his overshirt and shoes.

I originally wasn't the biggest fan of Splork, but I think designing this look made me warm up to him a little. It's fairly basic by gijinka standards, just with an added bowling shirt and shoes in his theme color.

Splork only has one eye, so I deliberately gave him the Other Eye Syndrome bangs as a nod. The particular hair part I use for said bangs have an annoying layering shortcut that puts a pile of disembodied hair at your avatars' feet, so I have to make a bald version of every Splork I make and photoshop the two together.

If I ever draw him, I very much intend to give this guy his bulk back. We have enough twinks in this project already.

Claude's Gems are Magenta, which I misremembered as a more coral-y shade of pink. At least it stands out more from Warren's purple?

My main inspiration for Claude was essentially just "guy who tries to pick up chicks at the beach". Unfortunately, in my folly it completely slipped my mind that the guy who gives you Flippers might have a reason to be wearing, well...flippers.

At least I gave him some Big Meaty Claws.

Renfield's Gems are an eerie Lime Green.

My idea for Renfield was to somehow combine a suit with a wizard's robe, and I think the execution went REALLY well.

The suit portion was actually lifted from Eyegor; while it hasn't been stated, Renfield is available as a hat/head item for Xbox Live Avatars if you own Peggle, heavily implying Eyegor is a headless body that Renfield normally perches upon.

Despite having left the Institute prior to the New Frontier's formation, Renfield is one of the few characters that actually DOES have a confirmed horseshoe placement: a subtle shape made with the detailing on the back of his jacket.

Tula's Gems are more of a minty Green, which I misremembered as being more vibrant like her stem.

Tula's design was...supposed to be derived from her Blast Design, but when I went back to look it turned out it was COMPLETELY different.

For starters, her hat. I initially gave her a sunhat, but I recently started wondering if it was actually meant to be a bucket hat. Looking at the art, I legitimately cannot tell what kind of hat that is supposed to be. And apparently it's supposed to have a gaudy fake flower charm on it??? Not only that, but it completely clashes with her color scheme??? That is NOT the same yellow as her petals, and that orange is nowhere else in her outfit!!!

Also, her raincoat??? Apparently it's not actually cerulean, but a bright aqua that makes the green of her stem look muddy and the rest of her design look plastic and fake, which is especially egregious since she's an environmentalist!!!

And good GOD, I think Blast!Tula's face is somehow giving me DOUBLE Uncanny Valley vibes. Like, Classic Tula and her flower friends are kinda disturbing since they have detailed human faces on flower bodies, but Blast Tula STILL looks disturbing because of how Not-Tula she looks.

...Anyways, this is "Design Notes", not "Getting Really Mad At Fashion". Let's move on.

Warren's Gems are Purple, which is convenient since his regular outfit is already almost completely purple.

In this concept, I made his suit fit better since he's larger than he is in-game as a humanoid, but I think I wanna walk that back. He's a gambling addict on a teacher's salary, this man CANNOT afford a tailored suit. If the art department had ever seen a rabbit before in their lives then he would've already been peak design.

Also, just for fun, Warren's form is short as hell. Possibly the shortest New Frontier member besides Gnorman and Luna. I'm thinking 5'1" (~155cm), possibly even shorter.

Cinderbottom's Gems are Red.

Not gonna lie, I think I might be less happy with Cindy's concept than Kat Tut's solely because of how I put in the red. I REALLY should've gone for something less bright. Probably need to do something about that hair, too; maybe some kind of gradient.

Among the Institute, Cinderbottom is the most at-odds with Bjorn, even (not-so) accidentally making him violently ill with his smoke in one of the old Blog posts -- now what was that about 'flames only serving the virtuous'?

Anyways, my point is that Cindy is also based on an RPG hero, this time an armor-clad knight with a sword, befitting his noble stature. (I also thought it'd be a neat reversal if The Hero had a lance while The Lancer had a sword.) His green mail is derived from his green scales.

Master Hu's Gems are White.

This one was pretty much as simple as just giving him a white robe. Recolor didn't have any good turbans, so I left it off.

Was already wanting to do something to thank LAES for giving us folks with chronic pain some rep, and saw that @superstar8bongos is organizing a collab to show support for Kat (the VA of Earth). So I figured I'd get two birds with one stone!

A little bit of info on the art- the sunflower in her hair is used to represent invisible disabilities (for more info look up the sunflower lanyard project), and the ribbons on her wrist are for chronic pain (purple) and chronic fatigue (navy blue).

Genuinely, I see myself in Earth a lot, and I have absolutely loved the way that her character has been developing. The haters are a bunch of idiots who don't understand that just because Earth is sweet and kind doesn't mean she can't have flaws. It fucking sucks that all the hate managed to get to the VAs.

As a person who deals with chronic pain (among other things), seeing a character I relate to have the same struggle means a lot to me. Especially since it is so rare to actually see this sort of thing tackled in media. Not even gonna lie, when I watched today's episode and Earth outright said that she had developed chronic pain, I had to pause and freak out a little bit because I was so happy.

So Kat, if you see this, know that what you're doing means the world to some people. And that no matter what others have to say about your work, so long as it makes you happy, that's all that really matters.

[spicerackofblorbos]

i'm GOD AWFUL at answering my asks unless they're requests, I'm sorry a;sldkfjas;df but to everyone who has sent me hearts, good vibes, and sunflowers, I appreciate and love you all so much!! <3 i'm finally getting around to this one!

i've been ordered by kat to do 5 more so here's my top 10 favorite fics I've written!! These are ALL x reader!

1. Amethyst | Leon Kennedy 2. Unspoken Words | Levi Ackerman - Chapter One: November 3. Sunrise | Levi Ackerman 4. Home | Leon Kennedy 5. For You, I Would | Armin Arlert 6. Can I Go Where You Go? | Levi Ackerman 7. Are You There? | Levi Ackerman 8. Chasing Waterfalls | Toge Inumaki 9. You'll Be Okay | Levi Ackerman 10. What's Mine, Is Yours | Erwin Smith

And here's my answer to tay's ask about my fics!

❥ fic I loved writing the most

this will always be dependent on when you ask me, because right now it will have to be Amethyst. If y'all haven't noticed, my newest love is Leon Kennedy, and writing for him is so much easier than writing for Levi and I think it's because I understand Leon's personality more. He's just so fun to riff off of. Not that Levi wasn't!! He was just harder to put down for me, I guess. ANWAYS. I loved writing for Leon and I'm working on a part two!!

❥ fic others loved that I didn't care for

okay so this might come as a surprise because it's my ultimate comfort fic, but it would have to be Sunrise. tbh, I don't know what loved the most means here but I'll equate it to notes. Sunrise is precious to me because it holds so many of my favorite things. BUT I really feel like I could have done so much better. The plot is there, the scenario and surroundings are perfect. but the WRITING?? I could have done better. don't get me wrong though, I still love it and I am very happy so many people liked it!!

❥ fic I had fun writing

definitely my For You, I Would fic. I don't have very many Armin fics but I enjoyed writing for him a lot because he's just such a shy little bean and so full of wonder and love. I could really see myself wanting to take him out on a date. This was also a request for my friend Tay and it was fun catering her interests within the story and how it works well with Armin!!

❥ fic I'm most proud of

for sure it would have to be Unspoken Words. I'm proud because it was the first time I've written something for myself in a long time. I didn't think I would care as much about fanfic until I fell in love with AoT, now look at me LMAO. UW helped me become a better writer as well as be more confident in areas I thought I lacked. I quite literally used it as a way to be better, and I'll always be proud of it. My first ever full and finished fic, I'll never forget it <3

❥ fic I wish got more recognition

probably Can I Go Where You Go? mainly because I really liked writing the semi plot twist at the end. like if you were caught up with season 4 of AoT, you would know what I was alluding to and it's like a kick in the gut LMAO. but also I thought I did pretty well with the descriptors, not to brag ofc. :3

❥ my happiest/saddest/most comedic fic

I SPENT 30 MINUTES LOOKING FOR THIS. but the saddest will have to be this short drabble about Levi losing you in an expedition and him coming to your old room, reminiscing. I don't know what brought it on but I was like, huh. let's just be SAD.

if you're interested, my fic masterlist can be found here!

finally, thank you so much for the asks @kingkonoha, @youre-ackermine, and @humanitys-strongest-bamf!! I love y'all a lot <3

The Punks love Sunflower

(All the Hobies are from those concept art designs from the movie. There's many fan arts of them. One being from drenched-in-sunlight on here. I love their artworks.)

Miles never knew he would get this much attention, in fact he never thought he would be considered attractive. He wasn't handsome like Miguel or cute like Pav or cool like his Hobie. But here he is being swarm by multiple Hobies.

Hobie from Earth 138c having long thick locs with a half up half down hairstyle, he holds Miles' hand being romantic: Hello, gorgeous

Miles merely smile: Hello, I'm Miles from-

Hobie from Earth 138d with blond dies spike hair wearing one purple contacts and another black one: HI, Luv. Fancy meeting you here! -being louder and more cheerful out of the three-

Miles turns to him: H-hi! I'm from Ear-

Hobie Earth 138e having box breads with a red hair ties, his voice much deeper and calmer than the three: Black cat. -he's thinking out loud-

Miles: Huh?

Hobie 138e: Black cat... your cute like one... -he flirted-

Hobie 138c: Luv, are you single?

Hobie 138d: I saw him first!

Miles being handle by Hobies almost being too shy to give them an honest answer: Actually I have-

Hobie 138b, Miles' Hobie: Hey, you blokes! what in bloody hell are you doing? Dats my Sunflower! -He scowls being the jealous one- He's mine! -quickly hugging his boyfriend from behind-

The three Hobies laughs being mischievous: You can't have him all to yourself. You have to share! Right, Sunflower!

Miles: Hobie, it's okay. They are new here. -His boyfriend scowling at the three-

Hobie: How in the hell Mr. Grumps allow these blokes here? -hugging Miles tightly hearing the three mocking and flirting with his Miles-

Hobie 138c: Oy, that's insulting, mate. Right, Sunflower?

Hobie 138d laughs: Yeah, don't be a fucking wanker! Oy, sunflower, how about you show me around- you know, just me and you! -he flirted giving a wink-

Hobie 138e: Sunflower, I really like that name. It's perfect for you. -he stares into Miles' doe like eyes- Yet, you look like a deer. Can I call you, Bambi?

Miles: Huh, what? Me, Bambi? I don't think-

Hobie 138e: Bambi! That'll be your name from me to you -he winks at him-

Hobie scowls almost growling: No! His name is Sunflower!

Then the group was unaware of another Spider-Punk coming into the group: Who da fuck is this? -they all turns being surprised at the figure-

Hobie 138 with black hair and light skinned tone stood with his hands on his hips.

Miles: Oh, you're Hobie 138, huh! Miguel told me, you would arrived today! -his eyes big almost gleaming which caught off Hobie 138 off guard-

Hobie 138 crosses his arms being more of a jerk: Pfft, that's arse. Fuck, him. I got scold because I killed a dump anomaly.

Hobie 138c: Pfft, figures.

Hobie 138 looks at Miles: I'ma call you, Kat.

Miles: Huh?

Hobie scowls at Hobie 138: Da fuck you are. He's mine

Hobie 138's eyes darken: Huh? Are you telling me what to do? -These anarchist never likes being told what to do- I can call him whatever da fuck I want, mate! Right, Kat!

Miles: why Kat?

Hobie 138: Because you look like a cat!

Miles saw Hobie 138e chuckles: So I've been told...

Hobie picks up his Miles: He's mine! You blokes can't have him! -he runs off with Miles. The others follow him-

From afar Peter B. Parker arched his eyebrows at Miguel: I thought you hate Hobie.

Miguel: I don't hate him. He's a pain in the ass. It's good he gets humble. -slurping his milkshake-

Peter: That's why you invited all these punk spider people?

Miguel: Hobie needs to learn. -he slurps his milkshake-

Peter: Huh uh, so... Punk Miguel is part of your plan?

Miguel arched his eyebrow: Who?

Peter points at a younger Miguel dressed in punk fashion: Him!

Miguel: Fuck... -he forgot to double check the invite list-

Hobie runs holding Miles until Punk Miguel pick Miles from his arm: AYE! Who da fuck are you?

Punk Miguel speaking Spanish growing up in Mexico: Oye, este hombre te está molestando? -talking to Miles-

Miles' eyes widen at the tall younger Miguel. 18 year old Miguel O'Hara with a bit darker hair, dark brown eyes and piercings. His skin tone a bit darker than Miguel 2099: No-no, estoy bien!

All the Hobies stop scowling at Punk Miguel: Oy! Who da hell is him? -they already don't like Miguel 2099, now there's another him!-

Punk Miguel: Qué? -not great with English especially British. Hell, he hardly understand them- No entiendo.

Miles: Okay, everyone calm down! Let's be rea-

Hobie 138: Your a fucking poser, mate! Take that shit off! -pointing at Miguel's black leather jacket-

Punk Miguel scowls: Qué dijiste? -He knows what poser is and he hates that fucking word.-

Miles: Hey, guys! How about-

Punk Miguel place a kiss on Miles' cheek, all the Hobies glares harshly at him: Lo quieres? ¡Ven a por él! -he begins running while holding Miles just to pissed them off-

The Hobies chase after that asshole while Miles practically fainted by the drama: I give up!

Peter turns to Miguel 2099: Was this part of your plan?

Miguel sighs: No...

(Part 2)

[bunnliix]

Awww thank you sunflower!! <3 I'm so close to the finish line, and I just have to get through my other three classes and I am finished! <3 <3 <3

This is me celebrating because I just got my grades back for my second to last semester of university for my degree, and I passed all of my classes!! I only have 3 more classes and I will be graduating university, which is crazy to me honestly. I didn't think I'd make it to this point, but here I am, like not even 6 months away from walking across the stage to get my bachelor's degree.

[ask-miscode]

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻❤️

Thanks Kat! Sunflowers for all!!!

[ingydar-phan]

hello again lancer <3 you asked, so get ready for some truly unhinged questions <3

what is your favorite type of seed to eat (sunflower, pumpkin, chia, etc)?

what is your favorite hour of the day?

which of dan and/or phil's shirts/jumpers is your favorite? (pictures are always appreciated) 🤭

what was the movie you watched over and over as a kid?

what is your favorite part of the final google feud video?

kat <3

@kat-aa

Hehe thank you for the questions Kat!!! <3

1. I don’t really eat seeds? I feel like nuts are seed-adjacent and my favorite nut is pistachio, specifically roasted and salted pistachio nut meat halves from Trader Joe’s.

2. In like everyday life realistically, I enjoy the tranquility of 11pm-12am. In a world where I could spend my time however I wanted, probably like 9-10am.

3. For Phil, I really adore the black sweater with the purple sideways stripes that he wore in the hair cutting video! Soooooo adorable. For Dan, is it weird that I actually really like that white MERICA eagle shirt? He looks good in white. I also love their Turkey outfits, the white and the red ykwim.

4. Yeesh uhhhhh. I watched a lot of Barbie and Tinkerbell movies…I really liked Ratatouille for a while and still do. This wasn’t in childhood per se but during quarantine (actually I think it started like 2019 ish, so before quarentine) I was a chronic rewatcher of The Good Place. It was all I’d watch over and over again.

5. Uhhhhhh probably when Dan reaches his arm out behind him and Phil like grabs(?) it. V cute. V husband.

🎨, 📀 and ☄️ for the ask game Ɛ:

🎨: compliment someone else in your fandom

@bluegarners is one of the best people in this fandom... her understanding of the bats— particularly dick (and more especially, his relationship with bruce)— is so, so good and authentic to canon! like sometimes you read her posts and you're like... shocked that she was able to encapsulate complex characterizations so succinctly and beautifully. also, she's just so helpful and talented!!! her fics are gorgeous, she's so considerate and respectful... and just generally, talking to her feels like what i imagine a sunflower feels growing towards the sun. kat i love u <3

📀: what are your writing go to songs?

a lot of it depends on my own mood and the general tone of the writing... but when i'm writing dick, i generally tend to listen to a lot of soft rock— so a lot of eric clapton, eagles, hall & oates.

also, a lot of instrumental when i'm doing contemplative angst (fractured internal monologues, flashbacks, etc): hans zimmer, nicholas britell, ramin djawadi, sleeping at last, justice der.

always intermittently listening to springsteen and pink floyd, particularly nebraska and dark side of the moon... fav albums <3

☄️: most unpopular opinion about a fandom character

here is a current gripe but a more general one would probably be using nightwing (2011) #30 to pander to the abusive!bruce agenda.

was it wrong? yes, absolutely. but was it much more complicated than that? also, yes.

i think when you're considering vigilantism, you cannot understate the familiarity with violence and how often it is used as a means of de-escalation AND confrontation.

i think a much more comprehensive understanding of that encounter can be done through the lens of a) watsonian power dynamics, where you consider bruce's role as both father and mentor to dick and b) the doylist implications of using violence to meet perceived audience expectations and how much of that is in-built into comics (think bruce as a stereotypically masculine, american father figure in golden age comics)

come ask me fandom stuff!
