#thank you again anon for letting me yap some more about it ^^

[mostlikelytofangirl]

I love your android jgy ideas!

Do you have many more you'd like to share?

(Also the image of jgs seething in the background while ruoyao go on their merry way is so funny)

Thank you!! I'm very glad you are enjoying this new delusion lol

I'm mostly just bouncing off the ideas @hereticcryptid shares with me, so the credit for the og discussion of android!jiggy goes to them :'D

That being said, a friend shared her ideas of another android AU some time ago and I loved it so much! I'm still hoping she continues working on that wip some day ^^;

It was ruoyao of course, but included dark LXC and it was so fascinating to me how the roles got pretty much reversed there, with a kind and gentle but possessive LXC that created MY as the perfect partner and went sorta Mothel Gothel on him out of misplaced protectiveness -pretty much the worst side of the Lan gene in canon.

But MY was very curious by nature, yet all the answers he got of the outside world were reduced to "don't worry about it, you have everything you need/want here :)", and eventually escaped, getting in trouble as soon as he stepped outside lol.

Cue uni professor and disgraced inventor/scientist WRH (funny how we all just want to see him fall from grace xD). His research on AI and androids got controversial and eventually seized and "destroyed" by coworker LQR, who saw the danger and immorality in creating something capable of self-awareness. Turns out that it was based on his work that LXC created MY, so when WRH finds a little android wandering around like he was born yesterday (bc he kinda was), he's instantly fascinated with him and takes him in to try to understand how something so advanced could exist.

What I loved about this AU is how ridiculously adorable MY was! He's a mix of his usual cunning mind and eagerness to learn with someone who legit is just experiencing the outside world for the first time, especially since, unlike Rapunzel, he wasn't really fed scary stories of what lurks outside, so he's more trusting. And unlike LXC, WRH is more than happy to teach MY whatever he wants to learn, not only to satisfy his own curiosity about how a machine like that could process knowledge, but also bc he IS a professor and one with hella high standards, so MY is just the perfect student: so well-behave, giving him all his attention and making smart questions and observations. Besides, there's a sense of deja vu the more he learns about how MY works and was created... also he is strained from his sons, so there's that too lol.

At the beginning is all just transactional, MY latching onto someone who is finally willing to indulge his curiosity, and WRH acquiring a little pet project to make up for all the experiments he was never allowed to conduct. But if you know me, you know the relationship doesn't stay there xD.

Sadly, bestie didn't continue the story behond that and tbh I don't remember much of what came later from my conversations with her, other than LXC eventually going out looking for MY with the help of other androids he created that weren't as perfect as MY, like the Nie bros.

I must confess that I haven't thought of android!JGY myself, but it's a great concept that I should probaky dedicate more brain power to :'D

ALSO

JGS seething at MY getting a new and far superior daddy is one of the main reasons why I'm such ruoyao trash 😌

[tesscourtes]

saw you had asks open, not a drawing request but wanted to know if there was any more story to your human bill’s punishment-for-weirdmageddon-is-to-turn-weak-human au, I really like it (sorry if you explained this a while back, I only just watched gravity falls😭I’m a late-comer to the fandom)

it’s just superepiccool to me, how are dipper and mabel about him being human now? Soos n Wendy, Stan and Ford? What was it like for them (especially Ford) when he just turned human? What was it like for Bill?

oh hey don't worry, I haven't really talked much about the details of the AU like ... ever. I just started reviving it because I got my partner into the show (they are also a new fan! yay, new fans! Funny enough I had no idea TBOB was coming out so the timing was mad exquisite.) and they have just been an amazing help shaping my messy thoughts and coming up with new, fun plots! It's also nice to know there's someone out there interested in it, so thank's for asking! Now that I read TBOB I want to change the premise a bit, but the core is still the same.

Let me tell you this AU is silly. I'm aware Billford is toxic and there are many corners to dive into to picture their messy relationship. But I kinda wanna keep the spirit of the show here and make it equally as fun as it is disturbing. Given that Bill canonically is trapped in endless Therapy gives me even more food to work with, he just out there being toxic and people repeatedly telling him to cut it out.

I'm not gonna go into too much detail because I'm actually working on the first comic chapter for this AU, but regarding the characters: Each of the Pines, as well as Wendy and Soos, are not happy seeing him, but individually grow more accustomed to him and with him. I guess going from "most accepting" to "least accepting", Mabel took it the best. I wouldn't say she was quick to forgive, but quick enough to give the guy a chance. And I honestly have to say that, although this is 100% a Billford AU, there's so many plot ideas for just Mabel and Bill and their amazing, chaotic shenanigans. Put these two together and the stories basically write themselves. Wendy is pretty similar, and the most chill in actually helping Bill figure out human stuff.

Naturally, Ford took it the hardest. I'm aiming for slowburn here, haha. They got to figure out some stuff that I'm so ready to put onto pages... Ford is a lot of emotions. Confused, angered, curious... Meanwhile Stan is Bills biggest hater. (There is a lot of bullying in this AU) He just keeps up with it because his Family makes him. He's very protective and tries to kick Bill out several times. Soos sticks with Stan, but he's also Soos and has a big heart, so in Bills eye, he's very gullible and a target he can mess with easily.

Dipper is not a fan either, he has a hard time adjusting to the triangle just getting to ... be there. He's suspicious for the most part and Bill has to try hard to get on his good side. But honestly he might be more upset with Mabel (and later on Wendy) for making friends with Bill so easily, even though he knows that's just their nature. I just recently started thinking about Gideon and how I'd like to include him, but nothing worth mentioning so far yet.

With Bill himself, one my favorite parts trying to portray so far is how he's dealing with his new mortality. He adjusts to the body fine, he knows how to navigate flesh, but he has a hard time accepting that it's his body. His new prison, essentially. If it's gone, he's gone. If he treat's it like shit, he feels like shit. Then we add the psychological aspect of things. And more importantly, we add Ford to the equation. When I tell you, that demon is experiencing psychological damage here, and it's fully his fault. TBOB really pointed out to me that I need to dive into his obsession with Ford. How do you even get a man you fumbled so bad, to even acknowledge you again?

I love yapping about this AU, thanks again for giving me the grounds to do so anon! I'm an insecure writer so it'll probably take another hot minute to choose which script feels best to draw out, haha. But I'm glad you seem to be up for the ride!!

[cameoliob]

i'm the kallus jovan anon again, never apologize for writing what is basically an entire angsty fic, it was an amazing raed. can i ask you more stuff about these two? like how did it go from kallus pov? tell me more about his youth in the underbelly of corruscant? why doesn't he have a family :( and what does he think about jovans parents and all of their lifestyles?

HI I'M ANSWERING YOUR ASKS OUT OF ORDER BUT WE BALL (also i love you thank you so much for letting me yap)

Okay, so Kallus' upbringing is so interesting to me and I have ALOT of thoughts about it

I have a another post thats kind of about this (but it's specifically about his sister, Anya (that I made up) so you can find that here, BUT i want to get into the nitty gritty of his upbringing anyways so HERE WE GO

Kallus' father passed away in a work related accident shortly before he was born, and his mother, unable to bear the stress of a dead husband, a newborn, and Coruscanti housing prices, prompty fucks off. Kallus' older sister, Anya, who is 16 at the time, takes it upon herself to raise her baby brother.

They had lived in the mid-levels for a number of years (all of which Kallus was too young to remember), thanks to Anya taking up a ton of different jobs, but the Coruscanti housing prices rise like NOBODYS buissness and eventually they end up in the lower levels.

Although they were dirt poor (except there was no dirt because it's Coruscant) they were as happy as they could have been. Kallus was, by nature, an energetic, gritty little kid with undeniable ambition and drive, and Anya-- who at this point is more mom than sister-- worked hard so that she could give him to opprotunities he deserved.

Anya was a strong believer in getting a good education and she managed to get Kallus into the mid-level middle/high school that she had gone to (and graduated early from!) in her teen years.

Coruscanti housing prices are still rising.

Kallus gets his first job when he's 12 (they dont gaf about child labor laws) as a dishwasher at one of the diners his sister works at because the owner had a real soft spot for "the sweet girl and her skinny kid." (Eventually he gets promoted to server but that's really besides the point) ANYWAYS

So basically, teenage Kallus, who is fighting tooth and nail to get THE HEELLLLL out of the lower levels via education, has a daily schedule that looks like:

4:15 AM - Wake up

4:30 - leave the house

4:45-6:45 - take the lift up to school (do homework on the way)

7:15 - 3:00 - School

3:30 - 5:30 - take the lift down (do homework on the way)

6:00 - 11:30 - work

12:15- go to bed

Dont get it twisted though, bro had HOBBIES (which included, but were not limited to, fixing broken droids, bad graphiti, pickpocketing, going clubbing, and just kind of running around with whimsy) (All of which he would do on his singular day off per week)

So basically this man has NEVER known rest in his entire life

It's after Kallus turns 18 and graduates that his sister passes away at 33. The lower levels are polluted, the air so smogged up and toxic that nearly everyone deeper than level 2000 gets sick at some point. Anya had lived the average length of a lower-level citizen, but that didn't console Kallus whatsoever.

Landlords are assholes, and the 2 year lease on his shoebox apartments name was under ANYAs name, not his, so landlord decides that he should kick this greiving 18 year old kid to the curb so that he can bump up rent for the next person.

Kallus, as any person would, spirals. He's couch hopping, he may or may not be partaking in mind-altering substances that may or may not be considered illegal, he is losing his goddamned mind. This is his rock bottom. And he realizes that he'd better get his shit together or else he'll be stuck in the lower levels swimming in alchohol and greif for the rest of his life (which would not be long).

And then news finally gets down to the lower levels (a month after the fact) that the Republic is gone, and that the Empire has taken its place. And the Empire doesn't want a clone army anymore, no, they want people to enlist. And do you know what enlisting means???

Free room and board

So Kallus hops THE FUUUCCKKK on this opprotunity, because who wouldnt????

And when he goes to enlist, he finds out that since he went to a school in the mid-levels he's elligable to test-in to the academy. Which he does, and succeeds at.

So now he's at the academy after the most insane and miserable month of his life, and there are all these rich ASSHOLES, who have just been living up here??? In the sun??? With money??? This whole time???

So he, of course, hates them all

But then Jovan shows up.

The only real kindness Kallus had ever known had been from Anya, his sister (mom?) who devoted her entire life to ensuring that he had a better one. Other than her, everyone Kallus had ever met was after something, weather that be money, a favor, ect. So when Jovan shows up, all smiles and niceness and whatever, Kallus doesn't trust him. Eventually, though, he realizes that Jovan is kind just for the hell of it. He's kind because he can be.

So he accepts Jovans friendship.

And Jovan teaches him how to fit in. How to dress, how to talk, how to act, ect ect. It's all a bit overwelming, of course, but Kallus is glad, because at least people arent looking at him all weird in the hallways anymore.

At the end of the year he finally properly meets Jovans parents after Jovan offers to bring him on their family vacation. And goddamnit, so wonder their son is so sweet, they are too.

Jovans mom takes him shopping for new clothes to wear on vacation, she buys him lunch, and when they come back she shows him all the embarassing baby-photos of Jovan that she had stashed away.

And when they go on vacation (on Naboo, ive decided) Jovans dad tries to teach Kallus how to fish, even though Jovans dad is not good at fishing, and really just wanted to wear a fun hat and sit by the lake for a few hours. (Kallus discovers that catching fish with his bare-hands actually has a higher success rate than when he tried with the pole)

Yeah, theyre rich upper-level-ers with soft hands, and they have no idea how bad things can get down in the lower-levels (and probably never will), but they're just so goddamned sweet. They're not like the kids in his classes at the academy who made fun of his unkempt hair, or his perpetual sunburn, or the way his accent was a bit off, theyre kind.

And Jovan is kind.

It's kind of a no-brainer that Kallus fell for the guy

[kumasakka]

hi, i am back again rqing for sugishita! um, im not really looking for anything long and elaborate, just maybe some general headcanons w a reader who's having a bad day? school has been weighing heavy on me lately 🙏

thank you for your services, they are greatly loved and appreciated,

— sugi anon 🐰

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ❝ 𝐁𝐀𝐃 𝐃𝐀𝐘 ? ❞

⋆.˚ 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆. s.kyotaro x reader .

⋆.˚ 𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘. having a bad day because of something or nothing? general headcanon with our underrated favorite character, sugishita kyotaro <3 again, boy deserves much more love guys .

⋆.˚ 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓. ~0.6k .

⋆.˚ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓. fluff. comfort. gn!reader (gender doesn't get addressed though). sugishita tries a lot for you, because he loves you. feel loved. but I tried my best, sugi anon! sugishita may seem ooc. spoiler - free. safe for minors <3

why do you look so down? as soon as he sees you upset, that's the only thought that occupies his mind for real for real. sugishita ain't even listening if someone is talking to them and if umemiya is talking to him, he TRIES to listen. but at the end, he can only think about the matter that's letting you feel down so badly.

if it's about school (taking this as an example from the request) because of certain subjects, expect to have more study dates. well, instead of going out into the town or something else, you two will just meet at the library so you can study as much as you want while teaching him later because I promise you, he does NOT understand a word you say.

it's a good learning method for you since you'll teach him first when if you checked the subject yourself.

don't worry, he'll try to listen and nod while you're teaching him about that damned subject even though he doesn't understand a single word.

what did you say? can you repeat that? nevermind, you should save some time instead of wasting it to repeat what you said.

nonetheless, it's still cute how he tries only for you. he's not even the type to listen to someone who's talking about school, but if it's for you he can and will try.

or you're feeling down maybe because school is just throwing assignment after assignment even though you have many exams in the upcoming weeks, which results in you having barely time to do anything else, your free time is almost nonexisting.

what do you mean, you don't even have time for him? wow, so how about giving your school a little visit?

let's be for real, sugishita is moments away from beating up your teachers and directors after hearing those shitty stories you're telling him. yes, he knows he shouldn't use his strength and fist against people who didn't deserve it. but it's still for a good intention. and good reasons (the only thing that's stopping him is you).

watch him take this school down.

what if you just feel down without any specific reason? yeah well, you're making him wonder how to let you feel better. but he doesn't even know what's making you feel upset.

what should he do? nevermind, why is he thinking so much?

he will just drag you to your favorite spots, preferably spots where you two are alone or spots that are quieter, a refuge from all the noisiness that's happening in town.

by the way, sugishita doesn't need a place or spot as his refuge because he has you.

he'll also start talking about your favorite series or animanga, something you love. he never starts a conversation though, but that doesn't stop him from leading you into one. he's sure you'll eventually feel a little better and will lead the rest of the conversation, yapping about the special things you love, things that happened the last days in school or the new gossip in class.

but if you're still quiet and still feeling down, sugishita will just seal his lips like always, drag you to his or your place so you can just lay on the bed. he urges you to play your favorite playlist, wraps his arms around you and just — sleep.

his most beloved activity which comes AFTER spending time with his special someone.

expect to find little yet lovely gifts in your room, backpack, pencil case — sugishita literally left gifts everywhere. minor things, yet full of meanings so you know that he's thinking about you.

Hello! I sent a couple of anon asks a while back about you ranting in the tags and I’m so happy to see you actually do it 🥰 no more anon and I’ve got a question this time😅

Seeing as the AU is named after a Noah Kahan song (great choice btw!) which song would you assign each character in this universe 👀👀

OH MY GOD. Best ask ever I love noah kahan and yapping. (tbh as soon as you told me to yap in the tags I ran with it I love yapping so much it's all I do.) Thank you for giving me to an excuse to listen to every noah kahan song.

Barty: (honeslty every single Noah Kahan song is such Barty core)

Growing Sideways - do I even have to explain. No? well, I am going to. The terrifying ordeal of admitting you need help. This song is just so Barty core, especially in this AU but also it can be applied to so many characters such as Sirius and Remus so this is an honorary Sirius and Remus song as well.

Call Your Mom - Don't imagine this song after Barty's attempted suicide.

Cynic - not even going to explain just listen to the song

Sirius:

Godlight - Don't even need to explain to be honest. Just listen to the song and the first lyric will be so Sirius core that you'll understand.

False Confidence - (MY FAV NK SONG BTW) Even the title is so Sirius core, again this is just one you need to listen to and you'll get it.

Regulus:

Still + Part of Me - Black brother's angst must I say more.

Fear of Water - OK PUN INTENDED BUT ALSO THIS SONG IS SO REGULUS FEARING HIS OWN FEELINGS CORE. (This song is so jegulus in general honestly)

James:

Hollow - Him and his struggles to find himself and leave behind who he thinks everyone else wants him to be.

Busyhead - I hc him as having ADHD so busyhead itself fits him so well but also his fear of his own wants and desires is soooo

Remus:

Howling - ok so obligatory werewolf pun but also this song is sooo Remus core. But also "And I won't admit my parents split when I got sick / But I refuse to be a burden" IS SO REMUS CORE??

Bad Luck - Remus and his issues with substances while he's manic and his guilt about Sirius worrying about him.

Save Me - ok this is so Regulus, Sirius, AND Remus core but I'm putting in under Remus.

Lily:

The View Between Villages (Extended Ver.) - I love Lily angst and idk why but this song has such Lily vibes. Also an honorary Remus song as well, but I see Lily more for some reason. I can't even explain it but it gives such leaving her small-town life behind to make a name for herself.

Evan:

Strawberry Wine - This may be a controversial pick, but this song is so Evan and Rosekiller core. I picture Evan as this wannabe tough guy who doesn't want anyone to know his innermost thoughts, but then he meets Barty and somehow softens him right up. He can't help but let his feelings begin to shine through his tough exterior.

Hurt Somebody - early au Rosekiller need I say more

Dorcas + Marlene:

Sink - DORLENE CORE

Mary:

New Perspective - CHILDHOOD BESTFREINDS MARYLILY.

Peter:

Carlo's song - such a James and Peter friendship song. Just Peter watching James change and lose himself to his fears. (this is also such a Bartylus song)

Xeno: I COULDN'T FIND ONE I LIKED XENO I AM SO SORRY

Pandora:

Young Blood - Pandora who doesn't realize just how badly her childhood fucked her up because she seems well adjusted my love

[spivecream]

Why r we getting so heated over ppl having options on characters, take a deep breath pls

Do you want the short answer or the long answer?

The short answer is that I like Pearl and I also have opinions. When people are hateful about things I like I want to say something back.

To be honest, I wish we could all hold hands and sing Pumping Iron together but that’s not going to happen, is it? So until then I’ll keep sharing my opinions about Pearl and StEx, which I really don’t think is hurting anyone.

The long answer is that I think a lot of Pearl-hate is because of internalised misogyny and slut-shaming. It makes me angry that not even a fictional train is spared from it, nor given the grace that she deserves, that being that StEx isn’t written with a lot of care and neither is Pearl. A good character should drive the story forward, but in StEx the plot happens to Pearl, rather than the other way around.

As I said in one of my posts (and as someone in the replies said), character flaws are lost on certain people and people expect Pearl to be (or think she should’ve been) this perfect person who can do no wrong whatsoever. The only way that Pearl really impacts the course of the plot is by choosing Electra over Rusty. If she had been this perfect person, and apparently had some kind of foresight, she obviously would’ve chosen Rusty. Roll credits!

The Pearl hate that is particularly slut shame-y is hating her that she can’t choose who to go with, and that she “breaks up” Greaseball and Dinah. (And let me just say, not hating, just a fact- that was Greaseball’s fault). Why would you hate Pearl for that? As a young woman myself, I’ve been in a “make up my heart” situation, and truthfully, so have a lot of people I know. Pearl is really not that weird or wrong for how she reacts, but once again, because she struggles with something that may be alien to some people, she’s the worst person they’ve ever seen. I’ve also tunnel-visioned on something I want to the detriment of people around me, again, not that that crazy. Very normal situation. Not a nice one, but a widely experienced one.

I can only imagine that some of you skived English class because to me it seems pretty obvious that Pearl is supposed to be naive and focused on winning the race, to the detriment of herself and Rusty. That’s how she moves the plot forward, and if she was the perfect character, there would be no story.

I like Pearl a lot and I want to protect her. Notice I haven’t actually said anything hateful about the other characters though. It’s not my place and honestly it baffles me how people can be so hateful about anything on the internet. But if you will allow me a moment…

It’s a bit weird to love Greaseball and hate Pearl when Greaseball is objectively a bad person and horrible to Dinah and all Pearl wanted was to win a race OKAY THERE I SAID IT.

Phew we got through that didn’t we! And don’t get me wrong, I like Greaseball too, but I think as a fandom, let’s just sit down and evaluate these characters together, and if you want to keep hating them then feel free! Let’s just not blindly ignore one character’s flaws and then completely crucify another character for their shortcomings.

There you go Anon, I hope that answered your - slightly condescending - question! Thanks for the opportunity to yap more about my favourite character and share some of my opinions that haven’t made it into posts yet. I hope that was interesting and that you learned something. Have a nice day!

[l0stfoster]

Hey its paul anon again (thanks for the name 🫡) sorry ive been bombarding you with questions but I absolutely love this au and i love everyone to bits

So, can you go into more detail about darry and paul . Like, as much info abt them as you can throw at me those two are my boys . Like how did they officially get together , how did Paul go abt moving in and whats that situation like .

Also, when Paul is like kicked out and cut off from the family, does he end up just,, losing everything? I mean like, did his parents even let him get his belongings or did all he have was the clothes on his body and trauma. I would imagine his parents had control over his bank account too so they like shut that down too so he’s out here broke as fuck JHSJSHSJ sorry im just yapping

Anon never apologizes for asking I'm so open to answering them bc I love this au and I adore that so many people like it too. Parry fans are eating good bc the writers love Cursed!Parry just as much. I'll answer your questions ab them before I yap. To be totally honest, those two did not ever really make it official. Doing that requires two things they lack; emotional openness and no internalized homophobia. They both told themselves for the longest time that it wasn't a relationship... even after they started saying "I love you" in Latin and Fae respectively (Paul knows Latin bc spells, Darry knows Fae for obvious reasons), or when each other realized managed to figure out WHAT the other was saying,, or when they started sharing a bed and waking up intertwined,,, or when they started using far too affectionate pet names,,, or when things became far too intimate for it to be casual. They never actually make it official, one day they just slip into calling each other their boyfriends. The most official it ever got was when they flat out went "Oh yeah, we're dating" to the gang. The gang was making bets on that, by the way. Pony said weeks, Soda said a month, Steve said two, Two-Bit said a year. Ace got it right down to the date and time, nobody knows how she did it. They have no anniversary because they have no fucking idea when they really "got together". Paul never truly moved in either, he kinda just went from crashing there whenever his car wasn't an option, to taking up the couch almost every night, to sleeping in Darry's room, and eventually, it was just an unspoken thing that he was officially a member of the household. They have to kick him out for the day whenever the social worker comes to check on things, cause Darry can NOT take the risk of some kind of bad outcome to his mere existence. OK MORE GENERAL PARRY - Being with Paul reminds Darry that he's only 20 and still allowed to be something other than "the adult" sometimes. That brings a whole KIND of happiness that he can't describe. Dude's tail is fucked up due to physical trauma but that bitch wags so fast with Paul. - Darry on the other hand just generally grounds Paul. He's so used to the way of life that was on the west side that everything going on there is overwhelming sometimes. - They're very bad with vocal I love you's in English but they will say that shit ALL the time in different languages or through their actions. - Uh after Paul got jumped and had his letterman jacket stolen, Darry gave him an old denim jacket of his own bc Paul hated having his arms out in the open. - Pony audibly gags every time they're lovey-dovey. He's not homophobic unless you're Paul and Darry. - They'd shotgun cigarettes when they were younger (and the only reason they don't anymore is the account of Darry wanting to keep the fact that he smokes every rare occurrence on the down low) - Darry's purring has healing properties like a cat's purr (all of the brothers' have it actually) so this mf will just drag Paul down to cuddle and purr. - They are.. so down bad for each other. Darry does anything and Paul swoons, and they've def had an interaction that goes something like this: Paul, knowing Darry cant lie: "How do you feel about me right now?" Darry, immediately: "I'd marry you if I could." Paul & Darry:

As for being kicked out, Paul's parents quite literally just. Booted him, barely a warning. One minute he's arguing back for the first time since their keeping up appearances at the police event, and the next he's being dragged by the arm and shoved out of the house with threats of being killed if he dares to show his face back there. Just like that, all of it's pretty much gone; save for the clothes on his back and whatever he'd been carrying-- which was really only his car keys and his wallet. He was sleeping in his car for a bit until Two and Pony vaguely got on his ass because Darry's calls were going to voicemail and he was stupid enough to let it slip that he wasn't living at home anymore. Pony, being Pony, snitched. Can't have shit with that little gremlin around- so after finding his dumbass after having had the equivalent of an aneurism over suddenly being ghosted by Paul, Darry extended the offer for Paul to stay with them. He doesn't mind it being a permanent solution, but Paul is.. less fond for a few reasons; so he tries not to impose much while he looks for work. (He does eventually get something sorted out, so yippie! Helps with the bills what a guy) FORGOT TO ADD. He sneaks home at one point to try and get some of his shit because he knows where the spare key is, but gets cold feet at the door because he genuinely doesn't know if his dad will keep up with that threat.

[delulustateofmind]

Babe let me know what you think of this idea for yan satosugu because the brain worms have been at it so bad this week. Medical AU where reader who was previously healthy has gotten an illness that’s been bothering her for about a month until it becomes unbearable and she has to go to the hospital. She was putting it off because she’s got a HUGE needle phobia and general fear of hospitals and procedures etc. Now idk if you wanna make both of them doctors, we did get that panel of nurse Geto but in the satosugu dynamic I feel like it would be Gojo as the nurse. Regardless, our healthcare heathens here don’t wanna discharge their darling little patient so easily. Probably doing unnecessary treatments just to keep her sick and dependent. Ohohoh so much to play with here, the medical play, if she hasn’t been visiting doctors regularly how would she be able to discern what is a red flag in their treatment especially when the doctor with the silver tongue explains it all so rationally you ought to trust him right? They have constant access to any medicine, the perfect tactics of isolating her if they put her in quarantine. Reader stressing because if she takes too much sick leave she’ll be fired from her job not to mention all the medical debt, my, my it’s so over. It would be really cool to have a reader who is absolutely a fighter I’m talking biting, scratching, screaming, thrashing, clawing kicking. She’s not going down without being knocked out and even after she wakes up she’s at it again. Literally doing anything to stop her phobias and fears from happening just to be free. In a lot of works reader is often paralyzed with fear which isn’t bad but I so badly wanna see a fighter (maybe bc when I read I’m like “pshh I wouldn’t let that slide” lolll ) and how she slowly breaks or breaks free your choice. Because of your background in chemistry and I’m assuming biology too because I bet you had to take some courses in order to complete the major, you’re the perfect person to request this to!!!! Ever since I read You Just Can’t Play God I was ascending. Your writing is so expressive and emotional like I’m really going through it here and it’s so addictivly tragic every time. And I could tell that you but your background knowledge into that fic and it deserves MORE LOVE so I’m giving it to you 💖💖💖thinking of this always. Wahhhh I go crazy for science fiction and medical horror and a yandere doctor is such bad news let alone two!!!! I kinda feel bad for making such a lengthy request and especially since you mentioned about wanting to post some more wholesome satosugu content and I come in with this🤡. Alas I am (with your consent) open mouth smooching you, warmly embracing you, feeding you yummy snacks and tucking you into bed. Ok that’s enough yapping out of me I got to go to bed. Good night!!!

- With much adoration 💖 anon

💖 Anon, we are definitely making out right now—especially after you just fed me that delicious FIC IDEA.

Holy fuck, do I love a good medical AU. (The gloves? They do things to my brain. The power play? Chef’s kiss.)

What are you gonna do? Say no to a medical professional?

I totally agree—Geto would absolutely be the silver-tongued doctor, while Gojo would thrive in a cute little nurse outfit. I can already picture them doing home visits. They have your address (and everything else about you). Small-town beloved doctors? No one suspects a thing.

I will be gratefully taking this request. I’m nearly done with a fic for this weekend, so I’ll be starting on it soon. :)

I need to go to bed too, but you’ve got my brain worms munching.

I love you, 💖 anon. Thank you for your wonderful words—I hope you have the sweetest, fluffiest dreams.

i need to say this somewhere and i hope you won’t mind if i send this “rant” here. bc this is just a stupid smut pet peeve that i let annoy me so much.

but anyway every time i go to the lestappen tag i get really disheartened bc there is such a imbalance. there is so much bottom charles and omega charles and charles being loved and worshiped and i honestly wouldn’t mind that at all but the number of fics where max gets the same are pretty much nonexistent compared to charles-centric fics like there are bottom max fics but they get drowned out. pretty much all the popular fics that have thousands of kudos and that ppl recommend to everyone are bottom charles. seriously i saw a rec list once where the few bottom max fics had the fact that they are bottom max mentioned in the same manner as content warnings for some other fics. it was super weird but maybe the person who made that didn’t think it would come across like that.

i know there are lots of bottom max fics (i’ve probably read them all lol) and ppl who like both, like you. i’m happy about the ppl who comment on bottom max fics those fics still get a lot of love even when it seems so little in the grand scheme of things. but i’m just annoyed and a bit confused that it’s so disproportionate. probably bc charles is more popular than max and bottom charles has gotten so popular ppl are inclined to it and it's "safe" and gets more love.

then again there’s so much talk about omega max on tumblr and then none of that shows on ao3 weirdly. (except maybe on the maxiel side i literally became a maxiel shipper bc i wanted more omega max lol) some ppl on here who say they’re bottom/omega max “truthers” have like several top max fics on their account and no bottom max fics which literally not that deep everyone should write what they want and what they are inspired to write but not practicing what you preach confuses me a bit not gonna lie haha. i’ve written my own fics which are pretty much premises i want to desperately read but no one has written them (like fine i'll do it myself) and i've gotten a good response but i’m a slow writer so i haven't written everything i want to write. thank you for everything you’ve written laura!

I don't mind at all anon, I have added your second ask too <3 Sorry this ended up being a lengthy reply. I love that we can yap about the bottom or omega Max agenda though 😂

I started writing maybe about two years ago and at the time a lot of the Lestappen stories were definitely bottom Charles and omega Charles. I started writing because a little bit like yourself there was some stuff I wanted to read that didn't exist so I just wrote it myself. At the time I had no clue how to write but I have hopefully improved over the past couple years! I was just desperate for there to be some more soft Max or Max being looked after and cared for. I just think Max doesn't get enough love and there can never be enough fics where it's pointed out just how hot he is!

I also like the idea of sexy, hot alpha Charles and think it's fun to not always see him in that 'babygirl' role if that makes sense. Although I can see why he ends up in that role a lot, he is also very pretty

I used to read a lot of Maxiel for the same reason as yourself, in fact I do still read Maxiel because of that reason and also because there are some very talented writers writing it. (although I also think of Daniel as being quite omega like!)

I definitely agree that there is a lot more bottom and omega Max within the lestappen tag now compared to a couple of year ago.

For me, I like to swap it around. I like to write soft alpha Max and even bottom alpha Max. The main thing for me is that the dynamic works for the story I want to tell. I have started leaning more towards omega Max though because I know that there is plenty of omega Charles out there and there are plenty of people who can write omega Charles much better than I can!!

You are absolutely correct about the comments and kudos thing. Firstly I should say that there are some amazing writers writing some amazing bottom and omega Charles fics that deserve all the love in the world and I am not for one second suggesting that they only have so many responses because of the dynamic but (at least to start with) I found that my omega Charles fics got more kudos than the omega Max ones. That might have just been a coincidence but when I start writing a story I know it will get more attention if I write it with the omega Charles dynamic. I'm not for one second suggesting that that is what people are thinking about btw, it's just a fact I have noticed with my own work. These days I just write what I like and hope some other people like it. If I ranked my fics by kudos they definitely wouldn't be in quality order so I don't worry about that now 😂

Like you have said, everyone should write what they like as it's all for fun. I am just glad there are other people out there reading and writing bottom/omega Max or even just Max getting the love and attention he deserves.

I will read top Max and I enjoy top Max. The only Max fics I don't like are where the writer clearly doesn't like Max and is making him unnecessarily aggressive or just making him the butt of the joke in a mean way. I prefer to read Lestappen when I can tell that the writer likes both of them if that makes sense (obviously people have a favourite but that's different. )

The content warning for the bottom Max fics made me giggle. I don't know what context that was in as I didn't see the post but it definitely made me laugh. Maybe it needs a content warning because its likely to alter your brain chemistry and you'll not be able to see him topping again 😂

I will always write some bottom Charles and some omega Charles because it just works in certain contexts for me but I have felt myself leaning more towards the other dynamic. Hopefully most people don't mind because there are so many Lestappen writers these days so there is definitely plenty of omega Charles to chose from.

I am shocked there is not more Omega Max x Omega Charles though as that seems to fit quite well.

Sorry, I totally rambled there but I am a huge lover of omega and bottom Max and always will be. I am also a huge lover of Max being treated nicely and softly and getting all the attention and affection in the world.

[transiently-translucent]

you have a favorite book?

if so, which one?

this is such an impossibly hard question to answer, especially because i have a hard time picking favourites, in my personal collection there is a specific shelf of about 28 books dedicated to the ones which shaped me after having read them

that being said, if i have to go with exactly one then ill skip the well known literary classics which everyone knows about and instead recommend "Animal Tales by Dick King-Smith"

its a collection of very short stories almost made for early readers but the unbelievably brilliant way the stories manage to make you love and indulge in the story and the world building using very simple vocabulary is soo perfect, no excessive wordplay, no trying to complicate things, yet making stories primarily for kids that get you rereading multiple times as an adult

the humour in this is so subtle and honest, the closest in terms of the writing style to this would be unabridged original winnie the pooh book by milne which i equally love to death for its simplicity and is also in my top 10

this book is honestly a big underrated gem which i have read atleast 3 dozen times and can recite each story seperately almost word for word (which probably makes me atleast a little biased)

(got this when i went book hunting about 5 years ago for approx half a us dollar and i just love it)

if you do give it a go then don't rush through, one can "finish" the book in 20 minutes but for something so cutely crafted as this, i like spending 20 minutes on each page individually :)

and once again, this is just one of the many such hidden gems I could yap about, i think i have another post about some other more well known books talking about the dopey cruelness of older fairy tales, ill find and tag it under #book review

and thank you dear anon for letting me yappp

[julietasgf]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how strabo and his wife navigated the Snows moving into their lives and disliking Coryo post the events of the book!

hiii anon, tysm for the ask!! and thank you specifically for asking abt this because I have so much to say!

I particularly think things took a bit to go downhill; I don't think the plinths were affectionate towards coriolanus pre-epilogue (like I said before, I don't think ma plinth was anything besides polite, and coriolanus exaggerated things... and strabo was interrogating him in his office the first opportunity he got), but then their son dies, and that's their only son. most of the actions we know about the plinths revolve around their son.

coriolanus was a boy without parents, the plinths were parents without their kid. in strabo's words, "my wife needs something to live for. and so do I, for that matter." it would be perfect, wouldn't it?

well.

there's something I find a bit curious about coriolanus, and it's his ego. he thinks very high of himself, and this also goes to the way he thinks others perceive him. he thinks he's a great liar, and great at fooling others by being fake, when we can see that other characters can clock him. I think something very similar would go through with the plinths, once their first stage of grief passes, specially because the plinths are older and much more experienced people, and we can see how much coriolanus underestimates them

I honestly think that ma plinth would be the one to clock him the quickest, and the one to dislike him the most as well. if we assume that he would spend more time with her than with strabo (considering that by the end of the book, coriolanus was already calling her ma), they would definitely talk more, and I think he wouldn't be able to hide his true self for much longer and it would show up little by little. one scenario I see happening a lot would be the situation of them talking about sejanus, and coriolanus saying something about him that made no sense, and ofc ma plinth would catch this detail and feel so off about it because coriolanus is always talking about how him and sejanus were friends. she would slowly not want him around their house anymore (tho I do think she would have a soft spot for tigris, and tigris has the same feeling regarding her).

now, strabo has a personality alike coriolanus, but I do think he grew much softer after sejanus' death, and it too made him take a bit longer to realize how coriolanus behaves (maybe everytime he tried to think about how coriolanus behaved in a way that felt off, he would feel guilty; I think guilt follows him much more than it follows ma plinth, and this made him more tolerant to coriolanus' behavior and little signs he would let out). but I also think it's important that strabo knew coriolanus' father, he knew that man's ideas and thoughts, and I do think that this knowledge and the similarities between coriolanus and his father would make him have to put the guilt aside and notice that there's something off going on.

and again, despite strabo growing softer, he's still the same ruthless man that's too alike coriolanus in personality traits, and it's hard to me to think this wouldn't clash at some point (and I don't think this would end well for strabo).

I also think it would be interesting to see coriolanus going through the same proccess he goes through with other district characters he interacts with and forms a bond with: coriolanus creating an image and illusion of them in their head, and in the moment when they don't follow the exact box he put them to, his feelings immediately turn sour. this happened with lucy gray and the perfect lover image, sejanus and the perfect friend that would never question him. now, I think it would happen the same with the plinths: from the perfect parents and caretakers, to then a threat.

again, anon, tysm for the ask!!! I hope my yapping made sense! <33

[brave-and-gentle]

Hey there! Read your fanfic "Second Chances", and can I say that I'm LOVING it so far!

Kinda curious tho; how would Mason and Jean react if, sometime after Jean and MC become "official", the happy couple realize they're expecting? How would they further react after it's revealed Jean and MC are expecting twins (a boy and a girl)? I feel like Mason would make an AWESOME big brother!

Hi anon!! <3 I'm so glad you love Second Chances, hehe. It's been my absolute favorite work so far.

Not a spoiler because OBVIOUSLY Jean and reader will be official *at some point,* but I think Jean would be absolutely thrilled to find out that reader is expecting! He's always wanted a big family, so when he and Mikasa got divorced, he thought it'd just be Mason and he'd have to be content with one kid - so the reality that he gets to expand his family with you would def be enough to make this full grown man cry. After so much heart ache (for both reader and Jean), it'd be a welcome change. He never anticipated having a blended family, but he takes it in stride and is excited for a future with you, Mason and your children together. As for Mason, hmmm, I think it'd depend on how old he was, you know?? If he's still pretty young, like under 10, I think he might be a little confused (blended families being complicated and all), but excited to have a younger sibling, especially since so many of his classmates have siblings. He might even ask Jean where the baby is coming from, which is enough to make his poor father spiral into a full blown panic. If Mason was older, my guess is that he might struggle with it a little more - maybe he'll fear that the new baby will take up all of Jean's time, that he'll be pushed to the side and forgotten, that Jean's just starting a new family without him, etc. But! I think once the baby (or babies) are here, I think he'd come around to it and be excited to be an older brother and show the little ones how cool the world is. Jean and reader would definitely need to give Mason some extra love and assurance in this case!

As for twins, I think at first Jean would be soooo excited, especially since again, he wants a big family. But then once the news settles in and he learns about how twins can cause birthing complications, he's freaking out a little bit, doing research on what can go wrong and how to make a pregnancy with twins easier on you - the man would literally be on his hands and knees doing anything and everything for you. Armin and Annie, who in my fic are actually expecting twins, would have to talk to him to calm him down, tell them about their experience, how everything will be okay, that he can't control everything, but here are some things that worked for them. Jean is lucky to have such good friends! Oh and of course he'd be thrilled to have a boy and a girl, especially a girl because I head canon that Jean is a hardcore girl dad at heart - even though he's a boy dad in this fic lol. I don't think Mason's reaction for twins would be a whole lot different than the above paragraph, but he'd definitely be excited to have a brother to play with, maybe he's a little less sure about having *a girl* in the house, but either way, I agree that he'd be the sweetest older brother once he came around to the idea!

Thanks for the Q and letting me yap about dilf!jean :)

[landofourwins]

Really appreciate the essay, thank you so much for giving me your time.

I may have time admit that since I am Italian I initially felt like a “need”(?) to cheer for Charles, and at the start it almost also worked fine. I was like, yuppie Ferrari yeah, and then I just let myself be a little mire unbiased and realised that I just- his racing didn’t really do anything to me.

I looked at Carlos, I felt like the literal rainbow could shine out of his car when he was driving because oh God! The simplest explanation as to why I love Carlos is that he is such an intelligent and strategical driver that for a silly girl like me who has some difficulties with getting a hang on the technical part of F1 he is the best driver to understand what it actually means to race.

I can’t tell you if that front wing design is good or bad for the life of me, but I can tell you with certainty that Carlos flipping through a pantone magazine to decide how much pressure he should put on his brakes and tyres in Silverstone 2024 is one of the hottest things I have ever seen.

Charles doesn’t give me that, I can objectively see that he is a tremendously talented driver but I think he relies too much on that without realising that F1 isn’t just Ferrari’s pitwall making decisions for him. When he said “I’m going to start thinking for myself” my first thought was that, don’t worry Charles, Ferrari is already thinking about you and just you, the real problem is that you should think “by yourself” which is different.

This year Lando started giving me the same feeling as Carlos, which is the reason why I started liking him so much. And to be fair, I feel much more comfortable in blogs dedicated to Carlos/Lando than blogs dedicated to Charles.

The latter always look like there must be a divine intervention of some sorts, while I prefer the critical thinking, I prefer taking about the strategies and reading the data and thinking about what could’ve been done in millions hypothetical scenarios.

I literally saw someone say that Charles got angry at Carlos after the race because he wanted a possibility to stay closer on the track to Max(?).

Like, what the hell?

Babe this is a sport, it’s not yandere simulator.

So, again, your blog makes me feel comfortable and happy and so thank you for your answer.

Even if I am writing in anon I want to specify that J am not completely against Charles, I am against the santification of Charles and lestappen, I am against the hate other drivers get because of Charles, I am against Charles when his actions and words become disrespectful to other drivers or even his own team mechanics, something that Lando never did and yet he is being accused of.

You could say anything about Lando, that perhaps some of his answers were immature or that he should’ve thought twice before speaking, alright. But he always held Max with high respect (he said it a billion times, and Max is still so proud of him and talks good about him so I don’t see why we shouldn’t believe it) and he always thanked his team and brought the fault to himself even when it wasn’t his own (e.g. Hungary).

Charles… well, this last weekend speaks for itself.

Thank you ❤️ (sorry for the essay 😭)

no thank YOU for letting me write an essay and yap my heart out!!

i didn't have anything like that, the last time a driver from my country raced was before i was even born, so like yeah. here it's a huge toss up of fans, like of course mainly ferrari, merc, mclaren and red bull.

the men mostly red bull. the young people mclaren. the old white duded ferrari. and merc some other older but not young people. but yeah, most people i've met (the three f1 fans at my school, my cousins and such) are mclaren fans strangely enough.

shit i'm yapping again sorry!! but i do understand feeling the need to cheer for him giving you're italian!!

i'm not saying charles is a bad driver, but like there are better people for sure (ahem carlos). but like when i got into the sport i also like tried to make myself like charles (and lestappen), but like as time went on i just couldn't.

yes!! carlos appreciation!! i stand by the opinion that no matter who ferrari dropped, they would have been in the shit. but carlos, he's just got something special that few others have.

carlos is definitely an amazing driver and just like overall: smart, if that makes sense.

i have really seen only one lando/carlos blog that's isn't really amazing. but other than that, i'd say lando/carlos blogs are the more welcoming ones. i've talked about this with a friend multiple times, but we only pick fights when you say something about our driver, i'd say we mostly keep to ourselves (till i'm pissed and start instigating)

but i do agree, this little circle of tumblr lando specifically blogs have my heart, it's to me a community like no other. yapping again sorry!!

that reminds me of people trying to constantly bring lestappen shit onto track. "oh look how they fought they're so in love" no babes, no.

I LOVE THAT "this is a sport, not a yandere simulator" people absolutely need to start realizing that omfg, i love rpf as much as the next person. but let's look at a key word here fiction. it's not real. two drivers aren't fucking.

awww thank you for that, it makes me happy to know at least one person is comfortable on my blog 💕💕

i get that, but i am completely against sharl. i said this in a post once i think. but i liked sharl when i first got into the sport, then in spain (i think) he threw me off a bit. tried to ignore it. and i'll be honest here, i was happy when he won monza cause i was so pissed at oscar and i was like well if lando can't win it i don't fucking want oscar to, so yeah, i'll take a sharl win above that.

and then, good lordy, vegas. i feel i've said enough about that, but i just decided to fully put on my anti sharl cloak and go with it.

again, double standards!!

none of the drivers think twice before speaking. i know for a fact everyone on that grid has said worse shit than lando and NEVER were crucified for it.

this last weekend definitely does. and i'm happy his true colours finally showed.

no again, thank YOU!!! i love essays and please continue leaving them!! 💞💞

What headcannons do you have about Porco and pieck’s relationship?? Anything sad? Anything sweet? Anything spicy?

-🌻

OMG ANON, THIS IS SUCH A COMPLEX AND INTRIGUING QUESTION, you got my brain working for good!

Okay, so, one thing you got to know before I start my yapping is that I love versatility.

I don’t really have a strict version on how I see pkpk starting out, I still love to discover new options, even after three years, and love to imagine how their personalities would react to each other in different circumstances.

However, since you asked me about specific headcanons, here is a list of things that are usually set for me and rarely change, no matter which scenario/AU I’m thinking of:

Pieck never considered Porco dying before she does an actual possibility. Every possible future she imagined them both to have would end up with her leaving him alone, not the other way around. Usually this is why she always keeps some distance to him to some extent because she does not want him to spend the last five to seven years of his life grieving her. That’s why his death also hits her extremely hard and unprepared.

It’s a cliche but I love to think of Porco as the guy who is always grumpy towards everyone, with Pieck being the only exception. Bonus if she knows/has noticed but decided not to mention it so he doesn’t stop with it. She does feel privileged about seeing that one soft side of him others don’t know about.

I HC that Pieck/every shifter in general does not require food when she’s in her Titan form and her human body is fed by the Titan’s light absorption while all her bodily functions just go into…. kinda, hibernation mode, I guess??? That’s why Pieck suffers from a loss of appetite because she literally has unlearned how to eat and Porco is the one in charge of taking care to remind her to eat.

Porco was assigned to work with Pieck when he was still a warrior candidate. In some of my HCs he’s also part of the panzer unit but even if not, if he was on the field, he was usually always close to her and most of the times the one to take care of her after she exited her Titan.

In most of my HCs they start out as friends with benefits, just to get some steam off. Most of the times romantic feelings are involved from both sides and they also know but they act on “we don’t have much time, so let’s just skip to the good part already and leave the talking for later, maybe never.”

Their bond is so much more than just romance. They have to trust each other with their lives and, just by having very similarly built titans, always fight side by side, to a point I’d say they are each other’s closest bond within the warriors. They share a room with their beds being the closest to each other’s on missions (I HAVE MY PROOFS ON THIS IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME!!) and they know each other well enough to be able to tell when something is wrong. The base of their relationship is absolute trust, not love. And in my eyes, this makes it so much stronger.

I wrote this waaaay past behind my bedtime so I apologise for weird wording or spelling errors but thank you so much again! Hope this is what you were looking for!

[beanarie]

For the ao3 wrapped ask game: 3, 19, and 28!

in the interest of not spamming folks, i'm also including questions requested by anon 1, anon 2, @typicalopposite , @sanguinarysanguinity , and @capitalnineteen

thank you all for letting me yap about what a blast i've been having these past few months.

3- What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

i'll say opioids and antiemetics (where tommy and buck fall through a collapsing floor together). it was my first bucktommy fic and my first fic that wasn't a snippet in over a year. dry spells like that make me feel like i forgot how words work, but it flowed well, i got some of the characters' voices down, and that helped build my confidence again.

5- What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?

oh, got my head checked by a jumbo jet (fix-it where buck gets amnesia), holy shit. people have been leaving the loveliest comments. it's been really rewarding because it was a gift for a friend and she liked it a lot. also the angst side of the story stems from some personal stuff as a healthcare-adjacent worker. losing someone you feel partly responsible for is gutting and it fucking sucks every time.

19- What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

i'm extremely ship monogamous and i never know what's gonna trigger my fic-writing lizard brain, so honestly i just wanna keep going with bucktommy. it would be great if fandom could maintain this energy after the hiatus. i haven't been in such a supportive and inspiring environment for a while.

20- Which work of yours have you reread the most?

i reread them all a lot, especially after they get really positive feedback because then it's like "oh hey. that part right there *was* pretty cool".

27- What do you listen to while writing?

just my internal monologue babey. music is too much of a distraction unless i'm at the stage where it's 95% done and all i need is to stitch the holes together

28- Favorite work you wrote this year?

of course (fix-it where they're both in the helicopter when it crashes) is the one i am most likely to have bookmarked if it had been written by someone else. i feel like i executed the near death scene effectively and i managed to touch on tommy's issues while threading in hope that he and buck could get past them together.

29- Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

Evan lays his free hand lightly, ever so lightly, over Tommy's battered heart before leaning forward and pressing their foreheads together. "I'm so proud of you," he whispers. "I asked you not to run, and you stayed."

(when i tell you this PAINS me bc i didn't figure it out fully until after i posted the last bit on here. so there are people who not only read the ending that's slightly worse than this but reblogged it. the subpar version still exists out there. i'm never letting myself post a proper fic on tumblr in its entirety again 😩)
