#thank you for this ask!! it was fun!! XD

[slashingdisneypasta]

Alright after your amazing Terry ask, I gotta know. How would your Roo's react to the Toon Patrol coming onto THEM?? I have to know for research XD

FOR SURE XD

Kingston: ah yes, our beloved token straight XD

Greasy: *trying to keep a neutral face and not laugh. He wants to see how far Greasy will take this, this is hilarious*

Psycho: pal, uh... sorry but... you're not my type... *trying to be delicate and not get his skin mauled*

Stupid: ... you're gonna haveta show me what you got down there, and I'll consider it. (Someone slap him 😅 He does like pegging, so he truly is considering it (he can ignore the fact it's a guy), but h o n e s t l y Kingston?? Be respectful!! 😅😂🤦‍♀️)

Smartass: *deep breath. Puts a hand on Smartass' shoulder* ... if only you were a girl. -No no no wait! Come back!! You'd really be perfect, I'm not fucking with you on this!!--

*earnest, calling at Smartass' retreating back* I wish you did. But you do nothing for me!!

Wheezy: ... alright, what'd you have in mind? (I think wheezy just turned kingston- )

Rena: the short answer is yes-

Greasy: ... you're that little club girl's toy, aren't you? ... drop your pants. Mhm, yeah right here, I'm not joking~

Psycho: *looking him over* ... alright, you got me hooked. I'm intrigued. Yes, lets do its. Where do ya wanna do it? Whadaya into, little freak?

Smartass: Ohhhhhh no. No. Your little guys are all on the fucking olympic swim team, and I'm not going through that again.

Stupid: 😏 Let's go, baby boy.

Wheezy: ... love to, daddy, but I feel like this is a trap. (SHE REALLY DOES. SHE CANT SHAKE IT XD Like, he's so hot?? But he's one of t h e m, and a sneaky unassuming one at that. So... it pains her, but its not gonna happen 😂)

Ryan:

Greasy: Nope, get out of my face Creepy. ("It's GREASY") No, it's not.

Psycho: (Psycho can follow him around as much as he likes, Ryan doesn't mind XD But they ain't fucking. He'll just be going about his business when Kingston asks, kinda fucking concerned, why the scary spiky one is following him, and Ryan just? Like? Shrugs??? 😅😅😅😆 He doesnt care XD And now Kingston is on edge XDD And ontop of that Rena keeps FEEDING THE CREATURE- )

Smartass: ... Thanks for the offer, but nah.

Stupid: (Similar to Poppy, Ryan will totally fuck Stupid! He'll show Stu what he should be looking for. Ryan is like training wheels *cough* and no he doesn't mind. He already had the love of his life, he ain't looking for anyone else special. Maya was all the special he needed)

Wheezy: Sure. (Doesn't even think twice. Wheezy's hot and they're friends.)

And *cough* well y o u k n o w which of the toon patrol lottie would be with. Although, since Shiny became a true oc of yours and Greasy's mate I've been exploring a Wheezy train of thought (like, instead of greasy getting jealous when lottie comes home from the navy, its wheezy but he doesnt do anything about it. Its wierd between them for a lot longer)... but I also love them just being a close family duo. And I still like Grottie ^^

Hello! Thank you so much for what you do- could I please have some recs for geraskier fics where geralt is the one pining harder?

Here you go!! I wasn't sure how to categorize who was pining harder in all of these (since our boys are masters of longing lol) but these are all stories where Geralt loves Jaskier very much, and I highly enjoyed them all!

Jaskier gets Geralt a gift, and it makes Geralt realize he doesn't know enough about what Jaskier likes. He forms a plan to figure it out.

i’ll kiss you slow by @paintedcrayons (Rated T, 4.9k)

Geralt is not being creepy. He’s not. He’s just looking out for his friend (with a questionable choices in lovers). Lately, Geralt has started to notice the way people treat Jaskier’s affection like a means to an end. They kiss him only to move to the next step, dance with him as pretense to get him into their beds. He would like nothing more than to kiss Jaskier for the sake of it. (He does.)

Geralt had thought that inviting Jaskier to Kaer Morhen after all these years would be a good thing. What he didn't plan on was his brothers deciding to have a little fun with their situation. Lambert and Eskel really needed to stop meddling in things they didn't understand, especially when it came to his bard.

Tell It With Your Heart by @bambirex (Rated G, 2.5k)

While Jaskier always says what's on his mind, Geralt works a little differently. That doesn't mean he cannot tell Jaskier how he feels - he just does that without words.

Love Me Better, Send A Letter by @rebrandedbard (Rated T, 12.5k)

Geralt and Julian have been exchanging letters since participating in an inter-school pen pal program in high school, and Geralt has been pining away for Julian for over a decade since meeting by chance one faithful day in Posada. Between work and Ciri, he hasn't had much time for travelling, but he and Julian still exchange their letters faithfully. Finally, Julian's equally busy life coincides with Geralt's long enough for a short visit, and Geralt has the chance to finally introduce Ciri to the man she knows only on paper. Things would be perfect ... if Julian's visit didn't fall within the week of the concert of Ciri's favorite musician, Jaskier.

[zoomimal]

In your opinion what are the most important areas F1 needs to work on to be more inclusive to omega drivers? ~ Luci

Ah a very serious matter, and one I am passionate about.

First off, I believe stewards and FiA officials should receive training in reading omega body language and how to properly accommodate non-disruptive behaviors. Currently the only training they receive of this sort is for conflict de-escalation between alphas (and the fact that alpha ‘accommodations’ are focused almost solely on their potential for aggression is a whole other rant I could go on but will not here). Better awareness of omega non-verbal cues is badly needed, and we got yet another clear demonstration of this after quali in Jeddah. As you yourself said, it was incredibly distressing to witness Charles being dragged away from Max like that, and all for what? To make sure the schedule was adhered to? To keep up the laughable facade that Max and Charles aren’t bonded just because they haven’t spelled it out on instagram yet? Charles was clearly so upset by it, and Max was visibly distressed about it too! Yet the official seemed to have no concept at all of what he was doing beyond ‘come on silly omega, you’re holding things up and need to be elsewhere’.

This actually brings me to my next point - the blanket ban on publicly visible scenting in the paddock is atrocious, explicitly anti-omega, and should be done away with.

As we all know, scenting, especially casual light scenting, is such an integral part of omega social interaction, hormonal/instinct regulation, and emotional well-being. (It is of course important for alphas too, but again, that’s another discussion). Using this latest incident with Charles as an example again, both he and his bonded mate had just performed incredibly well in front of thousands of people, of *course* he would be keyed up and his instincts would be screaming at him to reenforce their bond after that. Just a light scenting to calm his instincts and Charles would have been settled and ready to move on to the next thing, but because of the ban he couldn’t do that and instead had to resort to more extended proximity and eye-contact to settle himself enough to comfortably leave Max’s side (which then of course also got interrupted because anti-omega bias is systemic in F1 just like it is in many other settings)

Yes I do acknowledge that there have been instances in the past of scenting being arguably taken too far for a professional setting, but anything that crossed the line could be covered just fine under the injunctions against disruptive behaviors. Even in countries with strict ‘decency laws’ the FiA could, if they cared to, easily provide a space for omega drivers to step aside for a moment to quickly and discreetly scent with a mate or pack member as needed. (And before the ‘Alpha Rights’ crowd starts whingeing about this being somehow unfair - yes of course this should be available for alphas to use as well if they want to!)

I have even more thoughts (like how the restrictions on nesting in drivers rooms in the name of ‘professionalism and preventing unfair advantage’ are both infuriating and archaic), but this answer is already fairly long so I’ll leave it off here for now.

( @charles-leclerc-official I finally finished answering your ask! XD)

[yuriyuruandyuraart]

omg how does your shattered's design look !!?? have you posted her before??? ^_^

i did! kinda sorta hhh the design is not that complicated but it never stays consistent so I never made a ref (I also never found the time or energy xd) but I have a doodle of what she should look like!

the brown in her color palette is leather so it's all shiny and darker once you shade it >:Dc

[keepswingin]

Challenge time!! Write a stand alone scene with 143 words. 😉 (I personally would prefer Minsung or Felix but you can choose whatever you want 😂)

"You're not supposed to die."

Minho huffs. The blanket he's bundled in feels stiff and heavy around his body, anchoring him to a floor that's long fallen out from beneath him. He looks up at his other half, and feels his chest twist.

"Everyone dies eventually," Minho throws back, words snapping against the bitter silence that's settled around them. Jisung's nose is red. The skin around his fingers is brittle and torn as he reaches out, months old callouses scattered across his knuckles.

The blanket shifts slightly as he finds one of Minho's hands, freezing fingers slipping against his warm palm. He should be cold like Jisung, but he isn't, fever burning him from the inside out.

"Not you," Jisung whispers, heartbroken. "Not like this."

Minho doesn't know what else to say.

There's nothing left to say, when he's never felt more alive.

[slashingdisneypasta]

which Disney villains do you think realistically would make the best romantic partners and which ones would be the worst? In your opinion, I would love to know!

Hmmm in my opinion?? 😅 Okay lemme see XD

I think they all have their pros and cons, of course, and it all really depends on what you're willing to put up with (Your girl trynna make a coat outta puppies? Your man having rage issues? Bugs??) but these are the best (By Disney Villain standards at least! 😅 I don't really think any of these relationships would be truly healthy in real life)- and worst. Or at least my thoughts 😅

Best of the Worst:

Red font is like 'the best of the best of the worst'. Like, the ones that I genuinely think would be pretty okay and are the safest bets.

Alameda Slim- So long as you met him in a typical forum (Maybe in town grocery shopping, or mailing a letter), I feel like he would keep his cattle rustlin' business separate from his married life completely and treat you sweet <3 I don't think he gets angry in his regular life, just when it comes to his Crime Counterpart. Honestly, I don't think he'd ever even tell you about the, uh, hobby.

Captain Hook- He would be constantly struggling between 1. Being a good Husband, and 2. Being a good Pirate. And these things do not really cooperate with each other 😅 But hey at least he's trying!! And by villain standards I think that's pretty good XD

Dr Facilier- You know he would treat his partner with the deepest respect and always be charming. Of course, he's also full of bitterness and an ache for revenge, and messes around with things that should not be messed with, and that can all effect you- but just... just try to stay away from him when he's in Villain Mode 😅

Hades- Its not there anymore but yearsss ago, on Hades' wiki page, it said that he is one of the few Disney Villains who is not clinically insane (Sure, he has serious rage issues- but he's not mad) and that has stuck with me. I think that garners him major points XD

Long John Silver!!!!!- Long John Silver long john Silver l o n g j o h n s i l v e r. Ha 😅 Similar to our shadow man, he is consumed by his own demons (Here they are greed and... mostly greed), but he would do his damn best to treat you well.

Queen Narissa: Okay so we don't know her very well and she DOES seem to be quite manipulative towards Nathanial... But listen she doesn't like him!! I'm sorry 😅☠ I think if she liked you then she would be capable of treating you a lot better.

Rourke: Sure, he's got a divorce against his name already- but next to huge misogynists, psychopaths and power-obsessed lunatics I think its a strike that can be overlooked 😅 Rourke is a villain who's villainy would be totally separate from his relationship. He may a bit distant sometimes but other then that he's just a regular hot old dude, to you. Unless you go on trips with him.

Shan Yu: I- I- I dunno why I have it in my head that Shan Yu would be such a good partner but I just do *hides*

Shere Khan: Another one who's able to keep his villainy/prejudices separate from his husband time ^^ <3 <3 Also takes your safety very very seriously.

Stabington Brothers: Like Hades I don't think they're crazy... just greedy (And maybe a lil economically struggling, which I get).

Worst of the Worst:

Here the red ones are the worst of the worst of the worst XD

Clayton: /:/: This one, I just... I mean, could YOU live him constantly talking himself up, and re-telling you stories of his conquests, and rarely listening to you?? Cuz that's what I envision when I see marrying Clayton. Also, you know, he's a bit smug & misogynistic.

Gaston: ... I don't really have to explain myself, do I? I for one do not wanna spend my evenings rubbing his stinky feet, that's for sure.

Frollo: 😑.

Jafar: Tell me this man wouldn't hypnotise you to get his way.

Mother Gothel: She would be so emotionally abusive and so manipulative. 0/10, do NOT reccomend-

Oogie Boogie: He would just be so physically and socially draining!! He is very high energy. You would need to be sporty and an extrovert to have a chance.

Percival C McLeach: Okay so this mainly because, as far as we know, McLeach has not been exposed to other people in a long while and he doesn't know how to treat them well (Nor does he seem to care). So being with him would mean some work, and I don't recommend being someone's bob the builder. Sure, Jane did it, but Percy is not Tarzan 😅

Queen of Hearts: Where Hades has a problem with anger but is sane... Red here has a problem with ager AND is insane. And that does not bode well...

Scar: Scar is one of the least stable in our line up... so as much as I like him, I do not like his chances at being a good husband.

Sykes:

Toon Patrol: It is in each of their names. They literally come with built in warning signs!! Greasy, Psycho, Smartass, Stupid, Wheezy. Some are definitely worse than others... but I wouldn't risk it with any of them 😅 (*cough* or maybe i would. what don't look at me)

Turbo / King Candy: If you marry him before King Candy then you're gonna lose the man you fell for, and if you fall for him afterwards then you're gonna eventually find out that he's a lie. Either way, seems ultimately unpleasant.

Some of them probably slipped my mind but these are my thoughts right now ^^ Let me know your own thoughts!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO THE RAT!

THE RAT!!!!

Aww Dauntless, goodness T-T This is so sweet, you should have seen my massive smile XD Thank you so so much for this oh so lovely portrait of me hehe. The Rat is looking marbelous~

Well, it was probably the happiest birthday of my life (rivaling the one where I got my cat), so your happy birthday wishes turned out quite true. And this makes it even better. Thank you <3

Gimme your OC ramblings! 1, 4, 19, 23, 26, 39

Your first OC ever?

AH, I LOVE THIS ONE. I think the first story I wrote was a "gurl" and her father who were ranchers, and miscellaneous bad guys came and stole their horses. They were all unnamed, afaik.

The first story I wrote with original characters I really imprinted on was... God, it was so long ago. I still have the notebook in my writing drawer somewhere. It was about a girl who ran away because she turned into a shapeshifting werewolf. Pretty sure her name was Ishtas. Her guy friend/later love interest revealed himself to be a shapeshifting werewolf and went with her. I just remember him as Hakan. There was a third friend(?) who got in an argument because he said running away was really dumb, and I think became a villain several arcs later?? (He was also a werewolf who tracked them down and tried to kill Hakan for... idk, reasons.)

This was a massive epic in my head and notebook that kept expanding because I didn't know how to end it. They went to Alaska, started a wolf pack, became friends with Balto, got involved with Alue's pack, settled down, got attacked, got kidnapped and then poisoned by wolf hunters????? Tried to make it home, and then I remember stopping because it was getting weird and 39 Clues fanfiction was taking up a lot of my time.

In retrospect, I think I read Watership Down and Call of the Wild too young as a kid. xD

4. A character you rarely talk about.

Once upon a teenager, I was writing an original story based on the premise of a colony on the moon, a post-apocalyptic earth, and something about ghosts being real. I stopped writing halfway through because I lost the plot in Iceland, but the protagonist was called Jean Shea and I still fucking love her, tbh.

Her job was to record peoples' stories around the world after the apocalypse happened. They worked in circuits ending in... Switzerland...? so one circuit was through Africa and the Middle East, one through Eurasia, one along mid to east America, one along mid to west America. Multiple people in 1 year cycles worked a circuit, so however long it took to walk the full circuit, divided by years = people on the circuit recording stories.

[This is sounding cooler retyped than it was in the story. xD I did not put much thought into the job itself as a teenager.]

Anyway, for as long as Jean could remember, there was a voice in her head that called itself Edward. She always dismissed it, but later in the story, Edward turns up and literally crash lands in New York City, claiming he escaped from a moon base that was set up from people escaping the apocalypse and his organization was doing experimental mind telepathy to infiltrate Jean's organization, which was actually the evil one because they were actually only recording people to see what resources were available to take over the world, not because they wanted to record history for posterity.

ANYWAY. Jean has to do her job, walk up the rest of the North American coast, manage this crash landed moon man that knows her whole entire life with heretical opinions, and she also adopts a ghost boy whose ties to the land were cut. She has so many issues and only wants to be a historian. Fucking love her. xD

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why).

*holds up Westlie Faire*

I know I post a lot about her, but Westlie means so much to me. She was the first original character I've felt the compulsion and ability to complete her story. Theoretically she's a self-insert character, but I don't see her that way since I just thought it'd be fun to play a navigator running away from home.

Additionally, because I care so much, I feel like she's taught me about storytelling, my preferences in storytelling, how to write. I struggle making characters even though I've written stories ever since I could hold a pen because my focus is more on... their reactions? What kind of person would do this in this situation. So without a set plot/world, it's hard for me to see the options and craft characters who'd take the plot where it needs to go.

But that's only something I've learned because of the Liztlie AU. I just blamed myself for a long time for not being able to finish original fiction.

(Actual description of Westlie: Red hair, Victorian rolled bun, rather short, petite, brown walking skirt and waistcoat. Professional and reserved demeanor, unless she's quite familiar with the person she's engaging with. Loves math. Escapes into maps. Has a righteous temper. Heir to the Fairweather Company, run by her father Arthur Faire. Resents Arthur for chaining her to Fairweather's desk and never acknowledging or appreciating the work she's done. Terrified of failure.)

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

Myra Greystone (Ellenville) has probably changed the most. Her original concept was based off song lyrics of 'victim of a name', 'blood on the tracks', and 'not going back'. So originally I imagined her as not a protagonist, middle-aged, killing her father, and mourning her identity, and she kind of helps the protagonists in a roundabout repentance way.

Now, she's grown to be the protagonist because I love her concept so much, and kind of mashed a few other characters into her. She has the additional deranged goal of bringing her sister back to life, and in that context, helps other characters (and leaves them hanging) to achieve her own ends.

26. Have you ever had to change your OC's design or something else about them against your will?

We were playing dnd with Westlie and she rolled badly on landing in the darkness, I think. Up until that point I'd rp'ed her as pretty competent with navigating, and then everyone took the bad roll and ran with it. :P

39. Introduce any character you want.

I'll be real, I think I introduced most of my characters/stories here. xD I don't actually have a lot of OCs, and the Liztlie AU is wrapping up....

Fuck it, lol. When I was really into the 39 Clues fandom, I worked on my magnum opus of the time, which was a huge "life story" of the founding characters. They essentially became my OCs.

However, there was one original character, because I gave Madeleine (protagonist) a friend who was a farm hand. His name was Edward, and he helped her escape her family trying to kill her. Then they ran away to Spain, fell in love, got married, ran to the Netherlands, and there I gave him a incredibly fucked up and tragic backstory where the dikes broke and drowned his whole family. He taught Madeleine how to skate and she met his adopted parents, and everything was fine until oh no- the dike broke again and there were two children whose parents also died and I spent three chapters developing their relationship with these children AND THEN THEY DIDN'T ADOPT THEM. There was a timeskip, they had kids, and then Edward died in a fire.

BUT ANYWAY. He was actually really cool and kind of started my trend with wholesome characters dealing with a bunch of fucked up shit? 10/10 would actually write about Edward again.

(Also the whole point of the story was that all the founders came back to life in the modern era after ~tragically dying~ so Edward dying was not permanent and it's all okay.)

[countlessrealities]

new anon here! I LOVE Vaggie for almost chopping that other one up. 🤣

I will ask tho since Adam is her friend, can he at least get a lil sinsmas kiss? (I love their dynamic) 💋

Unprompted asks || Always accepting !

Vaggie frowns at the mention of her vexing anonymous admirer. The guy seems unable to get a hint, no matter how many times she has told him "no", very explicitly and very loudly too.

Threats to do harm were the natural next step. And after that, physical violence.

"I tried to be civil, it didn't work. I refuse to keep dealing with his harassment, so...I had to make sure to be absolutely clear."

And if he doesn't stop even after that, then she will turn her warnings into actions. But moving on...

She bites back a sigh. Again with the Adam-related questions. They are easier to answer, now that their relationship has improved and stabilised once more, but it still remains a sensitive spot.

"I'd prefer not kissing any guy under the mistletoe, but if I had to pick one...I guess Adam would be the lesser evil."

She has already said that, if she were into men, she would have probably agreed to date him. This is nothing in comparison.

"So, yeah, I guess I could give him a peck. But he would be the only exception to the rule."

7 and 19 for your characters!

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

twitch's way too big coat is my fav part of their design but it is also one of my least favourite parts to draw when i can't get it to look right

my fav part to draw on twitch is their expressions though!! the :3 mouth....the pointy eyebrows...i love it

my fav on grace on both counts is his sideburns i Love drawing them they are so silly (his frostbite scars are a close second. they're so small detail-wise but they are everything to me)

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

for twitch, i love that they manage to surprise me, if that makes sense?? building & writing them has been so fun, it's felt like a morbid puzzle trying to fit all of the red honey stuff together & how it works. i am Always uncovering new stuff!! i can never predict how they'll react to certain situations til i have to dissect the reaction afterwards

the flipping between cartoonish bugs bunny-esque content and abject honey horror is just a fun side effect of this. it's great to work with i Really like doing it!! they're very fun to me

my least favourite is that they are fucking annoying. and they won't admit they have a single problem ok more seriously, they are difficult to write sometimes, especially if i want to write them Quickly (ingame letters. looking at you)

my favourite for grace is. i don't know he just makes me want to chew through a wall. i can't explain it. honestly i am just super proud of how his story has come together!! the arctic expedition tying with the nemesis stuff, the nemesis mission for a guy he never met, his 1 million guilt layers, whatever the hell he did with the sequence, going from lawful to. that. he is So Much. it was all an accident & i'm so happy with how it fit together

his worst trait is that it is so goddamn difficult to get him interacting with other characters!! he has no easy hook to meet anyone. he is quiet & a little boring (affectionate) so he's kinda difficult to meet & talk to. he is literally just a guy. i love that about him but oh my god grace

OC: Silke | Favorite Memory & Free Day in the City

@lemongogo I have some basic background information about Silke in my answered ask here: Silke Ask

So I'll focus on answering your questions in this one!

Favorite Memory

Silke's favorite memory would probably be tied between the day he first started his apprenticeship and the day he created his first masterwork. The former because it was the day his first and truest love unveiled itself before him. He was clumsy, unskilled in his gestures of devotion, but it loved him all the same, and reflected his passion back at him tenfold. The latter because it marked the moment he felt as though his own skill had improved to the point that his devotion could be judged true indeed. Although his master told him he could consider his apprenticeship completed with that work, Silke declined. He knew he could do better, and he wouldn't count himself a journeyman - let alone a master - until he did.

Free Day

Because I'm a menace who loves angst, I'm going to answer for after Silke received his curse/pact. With a free day in a given city, no obligations to his mercenary company, he'd find his way to the artisans' district. He'd spend hours slipping in and out of various workshops and storefronts, talking shop with a gleam in his eye usually missing. He'd carefully tuck away the knowledge he gleaned in a mental folder marked "One Day".

When asked, he'd happily share his own depth of knowledge in return, although demurring whenever he was pressed to show the specifics of some technique discussed, or join in with their creation. He'd hold his hands clasped behind him in a seemingly casual pose, although they would twitch and clench with the desire to join in.

When the workshops closed down for the evening, proprietors making their way homeward with thanks and companionable slaps to Silke's shoulder - or hip, in the case of some of the smaller races - Silke would make his way to Sorcerous Sundries, or a close equivalent. There he would pore over any books that made any mention of the Fey, their arts, and - most importantly - how to act against them and win.

He wouldn't buy any of the books, that being far too obvious a hint at his ultimate aims, but he would carefully memorize any information that seemed pertinent, emblazoning it into his mind with the strength of will he used to devote to his craft.
