well I gotta throw b7 back at you but since you asked for rarepairs....ezri/leeta and kira/keiko

B7

I'm so sad I couldn't get bingo on this one, holy shit.

This is the ship that makes me insane par excellence. So near and yet so far. Two people so similar that they can't help but get angry with each other. This close to murder (for Trek standards) and yet having deep respect for each other's abilities. Frustration central and reluctant recognition through the other. They live in each other's head so much and they both kind of hate it, because ignoring each other is impossible. And they're my favorite characters on the show. Could not ask for anything more delicious to sink my teeth in!!

'Compatible' might be pushing it a little here but I think they truly would be, in any scenario slightly to the left of of canon. I've written extensively about them carving their own space away from the rigid structure of the crew and that allowing them to see one another for who they really are.

I haven't made B7 truly fucked up YET, but oooh I have ideas, the potential is definitely there to make things so much worse between them. It's just that the way Seven and B'Elanna interact on the show also gives me a lot of inspiration for shenanigans, so I've definitely made it stupid lol

This is also the only ship I currently keep track of on AO3 so you know I'm in it really, really deep.

Ezri/Leeta

I went with the mirror version because it's the version of these characters I ship the most. Basically my thoughts are: please tell me everything about that interrogation/debriefing post-“The Emperor's New Cloak”, that must've been fun alright.

If I were a better writer I would come up with an insane longfic in which they're together but they keep double-crossing each other, with this weird push and pull of not-quite-trust and fucked up mirror universe twists.

Kira/Keiko

My take on this ship is... maybe controversial because I don't care for them to be in a throuple with Miles (whoops), and despite the general sweet rapport they have in canon, especially once the pregnancy gets transferred to Kira, I would love for them to have the kind of relationship where they get into heated disagreements all the time lol. Remember how they were on essentially opposites sides in “In the Hands of the Prophets” way back on season 1? That, but like all the time now that Kira lives together with Keiko, on anything ranging from Keiko's opinion on the development of Bajor's flora to Kira's somewhat dogmatic approach to religion. Of course they've both gone through a lot of changes since S1 (neither are so defensive anymore because they're both more secure in their respective jobs & roles on the station) and they're both more willing to arrive to an understanding (and maybe make out about it). But they're both opinionated women and I would like to see that in a relationship between them.

[here are the other ship bingo meme entries]

Ooo I have another fun idea! How about a friends with benefits relationship with Beetlejuice which ends up turning into genuine romance?

Like they literally met because Beetlejuice tried marrying them to get free, which doesn't work, and he ends up continuing to seek the reader out because they interest him and they go along with his shenanigans

During all those years they've known each other they've ended up being very close friends and roommates of sorts (who have absolutely slept with each other multiple times and will continue to do so) but they also unconsciously tend to act like an actual, loving couple

Anyone mistakes them for being a couple? Neither or them correct or deny that claim and just go along with it

Then Beetlejuice ends up realizing that he's deeply in love with them and he genuinely wants to marry them, not just to be free anymore

Sorry for rambling, this is how I write my oc's relationship with him and it's so much fun to write :3

dead serious

WARNING: None

PAIRING: Beetlejuice x Reader

NOTE: I love this idea SO much! Thank you for sending this request, and I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to drop more ideas like this anytime—I'd love to bring them to life. <3

SUMMARY: Beetlejuice thought it was just a bit of fun—until one day, he realizes he’s dead serious about you.

It all started with Beetlejuice trying to marry you.

The memory was a bit of a haze, him in that ridiculous striped tux, a minister who’d looked like he’d stepped out of a Halloween party, and a whole lot of confusion. Of course, the whole “marriage for freedom” thing didn’t work out, and somewhere between you foiling his plan and that wicked glint in his eye, Beetlejuice decided you were worth sticking around for.

Over the years, you two had… an arrangement. It was strange, fun, sometimes loud, and weirdly comfortable. You became roommates of sorts, though he tended to crash wherever suited his mood—on the couch, on the floor, in random places all over your home. You’d gone from reluctantly amused by him to genuinely fond of him. The playful insults, the late nights, the times you both ended up in each other’s arms—it all somehow just worked.

And despite both of you calling it “friends with benefits”, anyone who saw you two together assumed you were a couple. You two acted the part without even realizing it: hanging off each other, teasing, little gestures that were oddly affectionate. Beetlejuice’s arm often found its way around your shoulders, or you’d catch him leaning into your space with that wolfish grin of his, not minding any extra closeness.

Every time someone would go, “Oh, so you two are together?” Beetlejuice would just flash his sharp grin and shrug, “They just can’t get enough of me.” And you? You’d just roll your eyes and play along, half-laughing, “Someone’s gotta put up with him, right?”

But then one day, Beetlejuice started realizing that his feelings were a little too real. Maybe it was the time you calmed him down after he’d picked a fight with some Neitherworld spirits, gently telling him to stop being such an idiot as he just grinned at you, too close for comfort. Or maybe it was the time he woke up, half-sprawled across your lap, and you’d fallen asleep right beside him, looking peaceful in a way that made something in his long-dead heart flicker.

But the moment that hit him hardest was the time a stranger came up and assumed you were married.

“Oh, how long have you two been together?” they asked, clearly mistaking the two of you as something much more than a casual fling. Beetlejuice looked at you, wondering if you’d laugh it off as usual, but instead, you just shrugged with a grin, “Feels like forever, doesn’t it, Beej?”

“Yeah,” he murmured, caught off guard by the sudden warmth he felt in his chest. “Forever and then some.”

That was the beginning of the end—he couldn’t deny it anymore. He didn’t just want to mess around, have his fun, or even just be free from the Neitherworld. He wanted you. He wanted to be the one who could make you laugh, who you’d come home to, who you’d stick around for.

You two were in your usual rhythm when it happened. You were in the kitchen, cooking up something simple, and he was leaning against the counter, watching you with a smirk.

“Ya know,” he said, “you’re real cute when you’re domestic.”

You raised an eyebrow, flipping something in the pan. “Thanks, I guess? You’ve seen me make breakfast, like, a hundred times.”

“Yeah, but it’s still cute,” he said, brushing it off like it was no big deal. He got that look in his eye, though—the one that said he was winding up for something.

As you turned to grab something from the fridge, you felt him sidle up behind you. His hands rested on either side of you, and he dipped his head down, voice going surprisingly soft.

“I think I’m in love with you.”

You froze. For a moment, you thought maybe he was joking, this was so random, but something in his tone was different, almost… vulnerable.

“Uh,” you said, turning around to face him, a smile tugging at the corner of your lips, “are you serious?”

He gave a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head. “As serious as I get, babe! Which, y’know, is pretty serious.” There was a nervous glint in his eye, something real.

You stared at him, feeling a rush of emotions you hadn’t fully let yourself consider before. He was looking at you like he’d just discovered something precious.

“You mean it?” you asked, still not entirely believing it.

He groaned, rolling his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, mushy stuff. I mean it, alright? I’m not saying it just to, y’know…” He shrugged, looking off to the side, “get outta the Neitherworld or whatever. I just… want to.”

A warmth spread in your chest. “Well, I… I love you too.”

His eyes lit up, and his grin widened until it looked like it would split his face. “See? We’re a match made in—well, not heaven, but close enough!”

You chuckled, rolling your eyes. “How romantic.”

“Oh, you love it,” he said, pulling you into a kiss that was surprisingly soft, lingering in a way that felt different from all the other times. When you broke apart, he looked at you with a glimmer of something new, something genuine. But still... ew.

“Say, what d’you think about actually making it official?” he asked, voice a little gruffer than usual. “I know the whole marriage thing didn’t pan out last time, but what if we tried again? For real.”

You blinked, taking a moment to process. “You’re not just doing this to get out of—”

“Nah,” he interrupted, waving a hand dismissively. “I mean, yeah, I’d love to get free of the Neitherworld for good, but that’s not why I’m asking now. I’m askin’ ’cause… well, it’s you.”

A lump formed in your throat, and you nodded. “Alright. Let’s do it.”

too little / too much

give me a sign

say please and thanks

even a leaf may drown in the wild currents of the stream of creation, much like how wax may melt when Icarus follows his heart

(four versions bc im indecisive as shit hh)

chosen name : Dirk Gently

birth name : Svlad Cjelli

codename : Project Icarus

something something -blackwing subjects as a trans allegory- something

(a buncha rambles under the cut)

But also very possibly queer, disabled, neurodivergent (and i don't just mean that as in autism & adhd), mentally ill, etc (maybe intersex but that's not really my place to decide)- Anything that isn't "standard" can be projected as a possible reading of the blackwing subjects, especially things that people are often persecuted, villainised or discriminated against for being. Dirk and the rest of em are all of course most commonly read simply as who and what they are, though, because there is plenty of value and relatability in that.

........Another unrelated tangent: Dirk absolutely has darkish red hair in my head, even though that doesn't look to be his hair colour for most of the show- i think i've seen others talk about his mysterious hair colour too. And i have read a fic where he had "mood ring" hair, ive loved that sorta stuff for years (when i was into beetlejuice the musical i always drew beej with hair that changed colour depending on mood <3<3) so that's definitely a fantastic headcanon to me-

the text in the fourth image says icarus in case that wasn't clear btw!

aaaaand last but not least !! bonus wip picture that can stand on it's own imo :>

Pleaseeee plspls tell me what you think! And please expand on the (admittedly vague) ideas in this post if you come up with anything!!

Because I don't know how many you have, I chose a bunch!!! :D feel free to ask about my stupid idiot man.

Kskdkddkkd thank youuu I never talk about them but they live in my head forever and ever.

I’ll keep it to their parents & their cat (her name is Nephthys <3). For context cause I rarely talk about them Barb’s mom is dead but the rest of them are alive. I still haven’t come up with final names for the parents yet shhh

Would your character wear something someone else picked out for them?

Adam’s dad - absolutely not. man’s annoying as hell.

Adam’s mom - yes, she dresses however her husband tells her to (they have a really unhealthy relationship)

Barbara’s dad - yes, he’s really chill.

Barbara’s mom - she used to dress up however babs wanted her to

Nephthys - she’ll wear a collar if adam puts it on her, but other than that, no way.

Does your character ever spend more than they have?

Adam’s parents - no, they’re super frugal

Barbara’s parents - no, they were middle class and were careful but reasonable shoppers. barb’s mom was always trying to make sure she had enough money for college.

Nephthys - that cat is lucky the deetzes are rich.

Does your character personify objects?

Adam’s parents - no, they’re no fun

Barbara’s dad - not really, but occasionally would when barbara was little.

Barbara’s mom - all the time. it’s part of the reason barbara personifies objects all the time; she developed the habit when her mom died.

Nephthys - no, but she can see dead people.

How big is your character's appetite? 

Adam’s dad - average.

Adam’s mom - large, but she doesn’t eat much.

Barbara’s parents - average

Nephthys - so fucking big. that cat could eat a horse.

Is your character food motivated?

I don’t really know about anyone else, but Nephthys sure is. She’s picky, though.

Is your character good with animals?

Adam’s dad - no, but not for lack of trying.

Adam’s mom - in the middle. they’re ok with her I guess.

Barbara’s dad - animals like him. they have a family dog that’s really comfortable with him.

Barbara’s mom - Disney Princess level animal person. she’s like a cute animal magnet.

Nephthys - despite being an animal, she’s a jerk to other creatures and fights anyone who isn’t babs, adam, lydia, beej, or charles. Delia is Not Safe.

Is there a creature that scares your character?

Adam’s dad - Beetlejuice, once they meet. And snakes.

Adam’s mom - does her husband count? also beej.

Barbara’s dad - spiders. and beej to a small but present extent.

Barbara’s mom - she’s not afraid of creatures, but concepts.

Nephthys - she isn’t afraid of creatures. creatures are afraid of her.

What animal would your character say best represents them?

Adam’s dad - bear

Adam’s mom - yorkie(?)

Barbara’s dad- aussie shepherd? some kind of big sweet dog

Barbara’s mom - deer

Nephthys- demon.

How would your character react to being put in a position of leadership?

Adam’s dad - oh, he’d be so bossy. it’d be awful for everyone else involved, but he’d love it.

Adam’s mom - she’d be so scared and probably try to pin it off on someone else.

Barbara’s dad - he’d be nervous, but take it in stride and be a great leader.

Barbara’s mom - she’d be flattered, and you’d be lucky to have her as your boss.

Nephthys - demand wet food. silly cat.

What would it take for your character to get into a fight?

Adam’s dad- very little.

Adam’s mom - she’d rather die than get in a fight. she gets angry, but she’s too afraid of the consequences of asserting herself.

Barbara’s dad - he’s pretty reasonable, but politics will get him riled up.

Barbara’s mom - if anyone said anything bad about her daughter, she’d murder them.

Nephthys - fights are enrichment for her. she’d defend babs and adam from anything in their way.

What words could tear your character down?

Adam’s dad - any argument from his family. he doesn’t know how to deal with not being the one with the power.

Adam’s mom - being told she’s fake. she’s afraid of being seen through and criticized for being unable to truly fit societal expectations.

Barbara’s dad - being told he’s a bad father. he gives his everything to be good to barbara, especially after his wife dies, so someone telling him he’s not good enough would kill him.

Barbara’s mom - barbara losing hope. her last days were her hardest because she had to see her teenage daughter act like there’s not life without her.

Nephthys - on a way lighter note, any scolding will make her very sad :( sensitive kitty

How often does your character have nightmares?

Adam’s dad - often. his conscious is guilty and that’s the way it manifests.

Adam’s mom - an average amount

Barbara’s dad - less than the average person

Barbara’s mom - less than average until her accident; her last weeks are full of nightmares.

Nephthys - she is the nightmare.

I’ll ask abt your lil guys, don’t worry 😉

I'm the mantra purusha anon 💫

To detail a little bit on the practice, it is recommended by David Frawley in his book Mantra yoga and the primal sound. Claire insists a lot in her course to implement the practice in a daily routine as it is supposed to bring awareness about yourself, your false limitations, etc.

So as it presents, mantra purusha consists in decorating your body with mantra sounds. For each part of your body, you recite a beej mantra associated with the mantra of a deity that you choose/Claire recommended for you. In her lesson, Claire says that doing mantra purusha is the best way to gain in magnetism and beauty as it generates an healthy astral body that improves your physical one (if that's make sense 🤔). I've been doing mantra purusha for several weeks now and tbh I've seen great results.

As an ashlesha girl, I struggle A LOT to feel abundant and secure when sharing my energy with others and sometimes it's dangerous mindset to have because I tend to be a bit vampiric and this tendency can turn a healthy relationship into a toxic one���� Since Claire's course is focused on accumulating sexual energy to build a strong spiritual foundation, it has really helped me to feel more "grounded". I know you have your thoughts concerning her course 😭 but really, it depends on your goals (beauty, spirituality, or anything else).

From my experience, I would recommend it !

If you have other questions I'm happy to help 🩵

TYSM for replying!! <33 love u<33

i have worked with mantras but the concept of chanting a beej mantra for each part of the body is entirely new to me. i'm assuming deities are assigned on the basis of our moon nakshatra? but how does one pick several deities for different body parts?? could you elaborate? 🥺

wait, how do you accumulate sexual energy? through chanting or has she suggested other practices??

i mean the only thing that irks me is her appropriation of hinduism and the male centricity of her videos. i dont think a course that helps one cultivate beauty or magnetism is problematic tho<3

that's sooo great!!! im happy you're seeing changes<33 esp the Ashlesha nature of being energetically restrictive, you have fully sold me on the course by saying it helps you feel grounded bc ik how hard that can be as an Ashlesha native.

if you don't mind👀 what are other practices that claire recommends?? claire's beauty journey is sooo magical to me, im dying to know more 😩🥺

thank you so much for taking the time out to let me and the others know about mantra purusha<333 hope you have a good day<333

[possum-quesadilla]

Hey there! It’s the same anon from the other day. I’m currently working on the animation and just finished a rough storyboard of it. I have some questions. 

Are there any specific colors you associate with Adam, Barbara, and Lydia? If so, what are they?

What does the counter on Beetlejuice's wrist look like? i tried drawing something based off your description in the fic but it didn't look right to me. Maybe I’m just not drawing it correctly?? Idk.

I also want to say how much I love LoopJuice! It's amazing having such an entertaining, emotional, soul crushing story so easily accessible.  I’ve been following this story almost since the beginning (June 4th to be exact lol) and I love seeing every character grow and reveal more about themselves.

Hello again! Holy moly, you work fast!

1.) I do! I love color coordinating things. I heavily associate Lydia with purple, since I mostly associate Beetlejuice with green and those two colors look good together! Also it’s the most goth of the main colors. Barbara is either yellow or a very light green, because of her hair and dress and also because they are such warm, pleasant colors. Adam I associate with primarily forest /dark green because of his shirt! (In the fic, Beetlejuice also sort of unintentionally associates the human characters with colors from time to time. Because I base a lot of his neurodivergent traits on myself, lol)

2.) The counter is a bit tricky, apologies for that! I have a sort of specific image in mind for it that I find hard to properly describe. By ‘analog style’ for the display, I mean like an old flip alarm clock. Like this!

But obviously, much smaller and the mechanics hidden because magic. Just the little flip numbers are visible behind a glass protector. Like a watch!

The metal part is meant to look put together by someone who has no idea what they’re doing. It is also inspired by a metal memorial bracelet, since Beej was basically supposed to be condemned to an eternity of suffering. It is too tight for him, and digs into his wrist uncomfortably.

But don’t feel too pressured to make it canon compliant, you can also just draw it however you think looks right!

Awww, thank you so much!! Thank you for your kind words and for following along with me on this crazy ride. It truly makes me so happy that my silly little Beetlejuice fanfic is so enjoyed by others. <3

[half-of-a-will-ooww]

Hi! What are your thoughts on the sequel? My favorite parts were the wedding (everything was so pretty and chaotic) and every Delia scene

Also Lydia's breathing exercises lol I love her so much 🫶

The beetlebaby was so creepy tho lmao

Hiiii ! Thanks for the question ! :3

(⚠️ there is spoilers ⚠️)

So I really liked the movie in general, but there is some things that were a bit "urgh".

First of all, of course, the cinematrographic way of doing things change in 30 years, but the movie was absolutely filled with things everywhere everytime and the rythm don't really give us any time to breathe, wereas in the first movie it was really slow and we really got the time to know the characters. (But again, generation thing, because now if there is no explosions every 2 seconds we get bored 😭)

Secondly, I think the new characters introduced were BADLY introduced. I barely had the time to even knew them that they were dead 💀 And I have a feeling that Jeremy was added at the last time in the story because they made NO effort doing the reveal of this character, they litteraly made a character explain the whole thing like : "ooh yeah, that guy killed his parents and died lol".

I found the character interessing but they didn't push him further enough, and I think that's because they didn't let time for the story and viewers to breathe because there was like 3 story at once in a 2 hours movie 😭. Same for Dolores, I LOVE her but she was like 20 minutes on the screen? SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE VILLAIN. So I'm sad, didn't see her much, so didn't really got to know her :(

Apart from that, I like the movie ! I really liked the wedding scene too ! I just lost it when Beej began to sing LMAO, My favorite scene is when Beej just YEET his baby self tho and the end is absolutely wild I was so confused but that was incredible 😭😭

I also really liked all the references to the first movie and I can see some inspiration from the musical in the story too (don't know if it's volontary tho lol)

I think they leave space for a potential third movie? But I'm not sure I would want to see it tho 😔

The movie kind of lost a bit of his Burton essence I think?

That's it ! I hope you like my answer lol kinda long but I also wanted to talk about the bad aspect of it even tho I like it, it was very fun and I'd definitely watch it again 👍

20 Questions For Fic Writers

I was tagged by @quordleona03! Thank you so much for the tag I know lots of people have already been tagged, so consider this a formal request that if you have NOT been tagged, you please come play! But off the top of my head, @onekisstotakewithme @cuddleswinchester @dreamingofspring :D

How many works do you have on Ao3?

40.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

I think we might officially be leaving 2023 with 300,842 words. Not a bad count for only publishing since April! That's a novella a month right there.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

MASH. :D

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Scratching The Itch, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, To Have and To Hold, Anything You Say Can and Will Be Held Against You, and Tear Out All Your Tenderness. Good morning beejhawk nation I see you all hkdfds

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to! Sometimes they pile up and I get overwhelmed and just click that "Mark All As Read" button while hiding behind my hand. But I really try to circle through nowadays even just for a "Thanks for reading!!" because I really appreciate every single one!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I feel like ...With Too Many Miles Between Us was a pretty rough one. There's maybe optimism that you can read through the cracks, but it was a damn agonizing prompt fill (affectionate) all around. The Good Ones Always Seem to Break is another. Sorry that I keep putting you in situations, Beej.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oughhhh, just about anything that suggests they don't end here, so to speak. I think To Have and To Hold probably tops the list, but I Intend to Hold You For the Longest Time and Soft Place to Land also come in hot just by nature of being established postwar situations.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! I've had a couple of people not understand what I was going for and who were not afraid of saying so, but it wasn't outright hate. They were probably just not the intended audience.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Ahh yes. 65% of my current fics are rated E for a reason, and the 5 M ones are flirting with that line.

I categorize myself as an erotic romance writer, meaning that typically if you remove my sex scenes from my fics, you are losing integral information or character/relationship development that would otherwise make the fic not stand on its own. I also have a handful that are just pure erotica—sex for titillation's sake rather than development. I adore writing smut!! It's a lot of fun, it's exciting when you know you've landed it exactly like you wanted to, and it's a way for me to reclaim all those years I spent being forcibly repressed due to my religious upbringing. I love every minute of it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I do not!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

The Famous 4077 Dog Tag Party certainly counts! Many of us authors randomized a list of pairings for both eras of the show, and then we were responsible for picking a pairing, writing the characters going on a date (platonic or romantic), and seeing what happened. Extremely fun way to get some rare pairs we might not have expected. For example, I got to write Margie/Klinger for it!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Hey now I am too fucking polyam to answer this and you know it. Mcpunnihawk probably tops the list, warring with margbeej and sidbeejhawk.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I am not taking this defeatist energy into 2024, how dare you. One day, my pretties, I'm coming back for all of you and we are crossing that finish line OR ELSE.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Smut, capturing character voices accurately, physicality, spinning relational scenarios on the fly.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Genres like mystery or sci-fi or horror, repetition of comfort words/phrases, putting my characters through significant levels of pain (I am too empathetic, I can and will cry over my own fics).

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Things that I do not feel comfortable doing myself because I am not familiar enough with any other language to know I'm doing it accurately.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The kid wizard one.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

How dare you make me pick from my children. Scratching The Itch, Anything You Say Can and Will Be Held Against You, I'd Give Up Forever to Touch You, and Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures. Notably this could all change by this time tomorrow. I'm very fond of my fics.

[4th-make-quail]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

oooh this is so fun, thank you bb!! 💚💚 i'm gonna go from oldest to newest, and i forced myself to NOT put more than one Sart/Basch fic ahahah

5. Two Dead Men | FFXV Kingsglaive - Nyx/Drautos I think this was one of the first longer, chaptered fics I ever finished and I'm still really proud of it! It's a post-film fix it fic where Drautos and Nyx don't die. Drautos has a lot of recovery from post-fight injuries and a hell of a lot to be forgiven! This is also the reason I can't listen to Calling for Rain without getting SUPER EMOTIONAL lmao.

4. Legacy | Devil May Cry 5 - Nero/Credo Yes, it's another chaptered post-game fix it fic... I may have a brand!! Anyway, dmc5 came out and even tho Credo died in dmc4, the tiny mention of him we got in dmc5 COMBINED WITH Nero's special dlc Order of the Sword outfit got me all kinds of fucked up, and lo! Credo returning from the Underworld fic! :3c I mean hey, he's a demon, why shouldn't he have gone there when he died huh?! Featuring devil trigger sex with Credo's beautiful big fluffy demon bird form, and Credo recovering slowly from the trauma and injuries in usual Quail Fashion

3. From the Flames of the Fire, I Feel You | Final Fantasy XIV - Sartauvoir/Basch While this is part 4 of my Sart/Basch series, it's one of the points where it started to get more plotty and less like a series of connected porn one-shots. Basch found out he's dying and confesses it to Sart, Sart tells Basch about his past and how his eye got fucked up, as well as showing him what's beneath the fabric eyepatch thing he wears. It was really emotional to write, and since it was the period where I was writing every lunch time at work, I can tell you that I made myself cry and then had to go back to work LOL. Also it was fun getting to write Sart in action too!

2. the structure of love | Final Fantasy XII - Cid/Vayne Yeah yeah, I'm putting this one again, sue me lmao. This was the first time I wrote Cid/Vayne and I still am so proud of this fic! I wanted to really go all in on the wistful feeling of UST and try to really work on the subtlety of their relationship and machinations, and I think it came out really nicely! It's a 5 times plus 1 sort of fic, with the final part taking place post-game after Cid and Vayne's plans all came to fruition. Ghost sex :3c

1. Skin on Skin Thing, Baby | Interview with the Vampire RPF - Assad/Eric I think this has to be my fave out of all my zamasian fics! I had SO much fun writing the texting as well as the smoking beej, and I feel like their characterisation came out very well! As usual there isn't really any plot to speak of, but the porn came out smoking (heh) hot if I do say so myself >:3c

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Season 2, Episode 18: Back In The Saddle. Part Six

Part 1 Part 2 Part 2½ Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Really thought this was just gonna be a cute filler episode I could whack off (lol) in like 2 or 3 parts but somehow we're on part 6? My longest review EVER both in number of parts and also in words? (A Tisket A Tasket may have gone on for 10 parts had Lorelai not made me rage quit).

How the hell did we get here? Oh.

Mark my words. I will hunt you both for sport. The only saving grace here is that our favorite pornographic film, Insatiable Cougar Does Her Daughter's Boyfriend, will mercifully cum to an end in about 1 minute and the remainder of the episode will return to pointless filler once more. I just realized there is no Jess in this episode, at all. Not even a counter-wiping scene stuck on at the end. BOO. Dean is confused by this concept of giving Rory "personal space" so Lorelai, of all people, is going to try to explain it to him like he's 5. No, literally, he does not know what "Space" means. Behold!

Absolutely breathtaking. The audacity of Lorelai Gilmore to gently tell Dean that Rory needs "just a little bit of space" after his behavior in this episode that fits the legal definitions of stalking and harrasment (I looked them up, lol). Where does she find it?

Did your parents spoon feed you lead paint chips as a child? How can one person be this fucking dumb? How have your remaining brain cells not yeeted themselves out of your head already?

"I... don't understand."

Rory Gilmore, you are in grave danger. Your mother is so blinded by her DeanLust she is throwing you to the lions (again).

Never ever, Dean. She's going to give you a sloppy beej when this talk is over. L (flirtily): If I was trying to get rid of you, I'd start telling you stories about my family! Har har har! You're soooo funny, Lorelai Gilmore!

L: I'm not telling you this to try to get rid of you, but to help things between you guys. Just try it! Ms. Gilmore, please explain to the court where Rory asked for your help. Just try not be doing a scary douchecanoe for one hour, Dean. I know that seems like a Herculean task, my man. But just try it.

"Wash my car"-stick your dick in my mouth"

What sexual favor is "a soda” code for, as she's asked him twice already (he keeps sounding reluctant to accept, so I am to assume it’s some freaky thing that only comes with the experience of a much older woman, and he’s nervous about his first time).

Whew. That had to be the most overwhelming sexual tension I've had the misfortune of witnessing thus far on my Gilmore Girls hell-journey. I'm scarred. It's going to be imposible to remove from my psyche, stuck there like chewed gum, or like Jess Mariano's sidewalk drawings. And I thought nothing could ever eclipse these levels of sexual tension:

Or one of the many instances of this

No, this one beats em all by a mile. The big difference being that the other scenes make me want to throw up my hands and rejoice, while this scene made me want to throw up my intestines.

ARE YOU DONE?!

The remainder of the episode contains the conclusion of the z plot involving MIchel's mother which I've barely paid attention to.

Michel is mad at Lorelai because she overstepped her boundaries once more, so that's good. Let the hatred flow my man! I need to recruit as many soldiers as possible for my Anti Lorelai Gilmore army. Take your anger a step further and report her to the labor board in Connecticut for her undoubtedly shaky bookkeeping, close down the whole operation, send her out to the streets and Rory into a nice foster home, and you can find a nice job at a real hotel. Am I thinking too far ahead again?

"The lunchbox of the new Millenium." or the RX 2002 First Aid Kit? Which lame-o creation which would only excite the most lifeless of Teens will emerge victorious?

Now here's some sexual tension I don't mind. Thank god. I needed relief.

And another sucky competitor throws its hat in the ring!

Spoiler alert: they are not it.

The part where he finishes these sentences with "including yours" must have gotten left on the editing room floor.

Just another reminder that Madelyn over there in the background invented the smart speaker, and Rory said her smart speaker couldn't be made because no one at Chilton knew how to build a robot, but there's a sign behind her for an invention called "The robotic dissector", whatever the hell that is. They should have had those dudes on their team, because every single person on the RX 2002 development team was completely dead weight except for Paris.

I totally forgot about this other male douchecanoe. WTF is a "hose hook"? And a locker refrigerator? WHAT? I thought these were supposed to be practical inventions? Why is every invention so god damn terrible? How can Douchecanoe Charleston possibly choose a winner? I can never un-know Charleston as Doug Heffernan's dad on one of my favorite shows, King Of Queens, where he had a completely different accent and not the quasi-British thing he's got going on.

The Locker Alarm wins. Grown Adult Man Richard Gilmore take this loss of a high school invention fair, one his granddaughter contributed nothing to, quite personal. In a tired sequence of events that we have already seen unfold many times before and one which will unfold to the extreme in the next episode, something unfortunate but hardly life altering happens to Rory that she takes in total stride while the adults in her life invalidate her feelings and lose their shit on her behalf anyway. If you guessed “Richard is having a coronary over Rory's loss at a silly school business fair and Rory could not care less”, come on down and collect your prize.

R: You've all put in an extrodinary amount of time, effort, and thought into this. Rory's entire contribution to the project was "This is amazing. I want one of these." Richard is not having it and he is taking it up with DCC. I get the sense this is not actually about Rory at all and is really some kind of Old Man Vs. Old Man Personal Beef about stocks and bonds or golf or something.

In what should come as a surprise to no one, I was right about something again 😁 turns out Richard was bored with retirement or something, so his solution was to take out his frustration on Douche Canoe Charleston because he knew him from Old Man Business Land, and he was jealous DCC had a job? And he didn’t care if he humiliated Rory in the process. I have no more room for screen shots and I refuse to make this a seven parter so you're going to have to use your imagination for the last 8 minutes, kay? Rory expresses to Richard that she's okay with the loss and she does not want Richard to bring this up to the principal but he doesn't listen to her. He says she was robbed and he is not going to sit back and let it go! ARGH!! My poor girl!!! Richard complains to the Manager while Rory has to sit back and watch and while wishing Lorelai would just dump her off with some strange relative like Liz did to Jess so she didn't have to be part of this awful family. Richard to DCC: Out there in the real world, there is no way a locker alarm would be a viable business investment! It's a school that should be training children for the real world! Oh, right, a locker alarm is useless, but a lunchbox full of band aids isn't. The only ground Richard has to stand on here is that if the best minds in this expensive school can't create anything better than a "hose hook" and a "locker refrigerator" then indeed, their educators are clearly failing them. If Richard and Emily had raised Rory instead of Lorelai, you know Richard would have been picking a fight with Rory's kindergarten teacher if she came in second place in the class spelling bee. Richard: I DEMAND A RECOUNT! DCC: Richard, this is not the real world, this is just school. This is so embarrassing. Rory should go on and pull the fire alarms and evacuate the school just to put an end to this humiliation. I feel like every time I have stated "I got no problems with Richard" at the beginning of an episode I've been so, so wrong. I'll stop doing that from now on. At Friday night dinner, Richard is sulking in his room like a baby over his granddaughter's loss at a high school inventors fair, and Lorelai GIlmore, of all people, suggests to Emily he should go to therapy, because "there's nothing wrong with getting help". Does Lorelai ever listen to herself? Where does she keep finding the nerve to advise other people to do things that she refuses to do herself? Clean up your own house first, woman. Emily of course responds that therapy is only for deviants, people with multiple personalties, and disturbed people who lick parking meters and think their dogs can talk. And so another week goes by where all four Gilmores push their numerous emotional traumas deep, deep down inside once more where they can continue to bubble and fester. Things aren't looking too good for little Chaz Gilmore, Rory's son, to break the cycle. (I've decided Rory has a boy just to throw the whole darn Gilmore Woman dynamic off its axis and give things a little pizzazz). (but what would Rory name a boy? Please do not say "Jess Jr." ) After hours of sulking, Richard emerges from his room chipper as a daisy asking for dinner, confusing us all. We come to find out that due to Rory's non-contribution to the invention of a Lunchbox full of Band Aids, Richard has been inspired to come out of retirement. That makes a whole lot of sense. Rory recieves a page from Dean on the way home from FND and Lorelai is pleased as fucking fruit punch to learn that her sloppy but satisfying sexual services earlier in the kitchen were enough to convince Dean to reduce his harassment down to one page per two days. Rory states he hasn't "Called or mysteriously appeared next to me" in two days! Lorelai is pleased that he's "calming down"! The bar is so low! Rory is relieved to get some breathing room from Dean, so to celebrate, Lorelai encourages Rory to call him anyway, then when Rory says no Lorelai asks if she’s super duper sure that she doesn’t want to call Dean.

You can keep your corny little froo froo sitcoms where people learn valuable life lessons at the end of every episode. No one ever learns anything or betters themselves on Gilmore Girls and that’s the way we like it.

Lorelai arrives home, late at night, after dropping Rory off at Lane's house (weird turn of events, but OK, I'm sure this is going to be some kind of set up for Teach Me Tonight) to find Dean sitting on her porch, sulking. Despite the fact that this is the second time in one day that he has shown up at her house to wait for Rory completely unannounced, Lorelai does not find his repeat behavior the least bit concerning. Little baby is pouting and trespassing on private property because he really struggled and put his four brain cells to work to come to a conclusion: his repeated harrassment towards Rory, for some strange reason, isn't endearing her to him, so she may just prefer the company of Jess instead of a DoucheCanoe Wtihout A Paddle. Lorelai merely sticks out her lower lip, gives him some puppy dog eyes, and pities this poor dumb creature who she has an unbearable, aching sexual attraction to. Then he walks off into the night, hopefully over a steep embankment into a pit of alligators. Goodnight.

How do you think the three different versions of Beej feel about each other? Toonjuice would either be scared of Musicaljuice and Moviejuice or idolize them and follow them around like a duckling, I think

For comedy reasons, I like to think it would become a highlander situation pretty fast with those three.

Personally though. I think musicaljuice and toonjuice would get along and bounce off each other pretty well. Moviejuice...not so much

I think musicaljuice would somewhat idolize moviejuice for his brutality and cunningness. Musicaljuice actually succeeded though in being alive.. so that admiration is short lived and he thinks he's the "best" of the juices. He thinks toonjuice is cool and loves bursting into song and grossing everyone out with him. Queue a never ending string of puns.

Moviejuice doesn't give a shit. He tries to manipulate them into doing his bidding, tries leveling with them instead, then gives up and goes back to whatever he was doing before. He thinks musicaljuice is a pathetic loser (look who's talking) and he thinks toonjuice is a very watered down version of him, and he hates it. Then toonjuice and musicaljuice make him laugh and he's indifferent towards them.

Toonjuice is just happy there's other ghosts out there that appreciate the stuff he likes! He thinks musicaljuice and moviejuice are gross for marrying, and trying to marry Lydia, and questions why they would want to be alive when they can use all their spooky powers to be gross and scary instead. He talks about pranks and stuff with musicaljuice, and mostly avoids moviejuice.

Long story short, they would have a very odd friendship full of shenanigans I think

Thanks for the ask! :3

[hawkeyeslaughter]

How do you feel about BeejHawk?

thank you for the ask !!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶

— beejhawk , or hunnihawk

don’t ship it .

1 . why don’t you ship it ?

— i feel like some of the meaning of the more important episodes gets lost because so much of the focus is on beejhawk , like the example that always gets used ( because it’s a good one ) is ‘ yessir , that’s our baby ‘ . i also feel like hawk and bj’s humor was never in step the way hawkeye and trapper’s were . jokes ended up being taken the wrong way too often , like in ‘ the most unforgettable characters ‘ and ‘ the joker is wild ‘ . i also just never found bj’s tendency to gaslight hawk as funny or as playful as people make it out to be … it really rubbed me the wrong way sometimes .

2 . what would have made you like it ?

— honestly if they’d stuck with bj’s writing early on . i like s4 - 5 ( ish ) beej . i like how he’s joking and playful yet distinct from trapper . later on it’s like they wanted to give him more depth but didn’t quite know how to do it so they just started doing random things with his personality that didn’t really make sense to me . he got the tendency to be a bit of a hypocrite and holier - than - thou to his camp mates and in some instances with hawkeye , which ( for me ) really turned me off from the ship . i wish they’d picked his character and stick with it ,, i feel like early bj could be deep without being as presumptuous as late bj got to be . and i definitely feel like if they had i’d be a diehard beejhawk girl .

3 . despite not shipping it , do you have anything positive to say about it ?

— for sure ! i definitely see how people ship it ; they absolutely have this bond where it’s unmistakable how much they love each other . their sweet , soft , domestic moments mean the world to me

VAMPIRE READER AND BEETLEJUICE?? 🙏🙏🦇🦇 READER NEEDS TO FEED 🙏

bite me

WARNING: Blood (vampire stuff)

PAIRING: Beetlejuice x Vampire! Reader

NOTE: Oh my GOD, thank you for this request. You don’t know how much I LOVE the idea of a vampire reader. I could write about this dynamic forever. Seriously, this is everything. <3 I know feeding off a dead guy makes no sense, but for the sake of this one shot.. pretend it does.

SUMMARY: You’re a vampire in need of a feed, and Beetlejuice is more than happy to oblige. After all, you two are lovers, and nothing quite says romance like a late-night snack.

The place was quiet, draped in shadows, the only sound the slow tick of the grandfather clock in the hall. A chilly draft whispered through the stone halls, carrying the faint smell of autumn leaves and earth. Normally, this was your favorite time of night—when everything fell silent, and the world seemed made just for you.

But tonight, there was a dull ache gnawing at the pit of your stomach. The familiar hunger for blood was creeping in, the kind you couldn’t ignore any longer. You usually planned ahead, so you’d have something to satisfy it before the cravings got intense. But lately, you’d been… distracted.

“Hey, bats-for-brains!” Beetlejuice's loud, nasally voice tore through the quiet like a firework. You winced, but couldn’t hide a small smile as he made his way into the grand, dimly lit parlor.

“There you are, babe!” he smirked, waggling his brows at you.

You rolled your eyes, but your voice came out softer than you intended. “Beetlejuice, I’ve told you about the shouting.”

He leaned closer, eyes glinting with mischief. “Oh, I know. It’s why I keep doing it.”

The gnawing hunger in your stomach reminded you why you’d actually let him stick around tonight. Beetlejuice may be many things—irritating, vulgar, incorrigible—but he was also… tempting. And he’d always been more than willing to let you have a little taste, no questions asked.

“Beej,” you said, voice low, a hint of a growl slipping in. His eyes sparkled at that, and he leaned back, eyebrows lifting in mock surprise.

“Well, well! You’ve got that look in your eye. What is it, time for dinner?” He grinned wide, baring his teeth as if daring you to bite. He’d always found the whole “vampire” thing fascinating; you half-wondered if it was because it reminded him of the Neitherworld.

You nodded slowly, shifting closer. “If you don’t mind.”

“Oh, babe, you know I never mind.” He flopped back on the velvet settee, holding his arms out wide as if he were presenting himself to royalty. “Bite me! Go on, let’s make it dramatic!”

You chuckled, sliding next to him. “You never take anything seriously, do you?”

He shrugged. “Hey, if I took everything seriously, I wouldn’t be here, now would I? Besides—” he leaned in, voice dropping to a low rasp—“I know you love it.”

That was enough to make your hunger sharpen, and you leaned in, letting your fingers trace along the collar of his suit. His pulse beat under your touch, a little faster than usual. He might joke all the time, but he could never hide that shiver of excitement whenever you got close.

“Alright, hold still,” you murmured. He didn’t move, his grin widening.

You tilted his head back, baring the pale, almost lifeless skin at his neck. You bit down gently, letting your fangs sink in, and felt him stiffen, a low groan slipping from his lips.

“Holy… jeez, Y/N,” he breathed out. His voice was a mixture of awe and something softer, something almost tender.

The taste of him was familiar, a mix of the Neitherworld’s strange, earthy sweetness and just a hint of iron. It wasn’t like feeding from anyone else; it was distinctly him, and it left you feeling light-headed and exhilarated. You felt his fingers brush along your back, oddly gentle for someone like him, and you let yourself linger a moment longer than necessary.

You finally pulled back, licking the last traces of blood from your lips as he slumped back with a dreamy grin. “Now that’s what I call dinner and a show.”

You laughed, wiping your mouth as you looked at him sprawled out, clearly a little dazed. “You enjoyed that way too much.”

“Who, me?” he gasped, feigning shock. “You know I only did it for you, baby. But if I happen to enjoy it… well, that’s just a bonus.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

He chuckled, pushing himself up from the settee and brushing off his suit, though it didn’t make much difference in its already-disheveled state. “What can I say? I’m a giver. Ain’t I the best boyfriend?”

You laughed again, unable to argue. As unconventional as he was, Beetlejuice really did make you feel alive—even in the quiet, empty spaces of your ancient home, he filled it with his energy, breaking the silence with his loud, brash love.

With him, you felt less like a creature of the night and more like someone who belonged, someone who was understood, even if that someone happened to be undead.

“Yeah,” you said softly, leaning against him, “I guess you are.”

“Aw, babe, you’re killing me!” he said with a grin, throwing an arm around you.

And for once, you didn’t mind the noise.

⊞ I'm sending a prediction of Mariner/T'Lyn (or maybe I'm hoping for it from you) and ϟ the moment in the b7 time loop fic right at the end of chapter one where B'Elanna confronts Seven about what she did to the warp core and realizes she knows what's going on and yessss, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss

from the Fic Ask Game. Thank you Beej <3

⊞ send a prediction for a fic i’ll write in the future MAYBE SO DOT GIF but honestly I really might write Mariner/T'Lyn!! It entirely depends on how this season of Lower Decks is going to play out but unless it fumbles the bag entirely I'd say chances are good!

ϟ tell me what moment/scene in [fic] made you sicko in the window.jpg to read and i’ll tell you which scene made me feel that way to write YESSSS I loved writing that scene of “Let's go back, let's go back and start again” so much eheh, I had it so clear in my head when I started out this fic!

“I don’t think this is a causality loop.” B’Elanna shakes her head. “If we were in one I wouldn’t remember what happened—or what is going to happen.” “Then what kind of paradox is this?” B’Elanna averts her eyes. She hates having more question than answers with the ship in such a dangerous position, doubly so if she’s right about the paradox. She’ll have to report about this too, and Janeway is not going to like it. As her gaze wanders distractedly over her surroundings, she spots Seven of Nine right at the entrance of Main Engineering. B’Elanna squints. Should she be here already? She’s pretty sure she should get a comm from Janeway beforehand. Abruptly, a few more pieces click into place—B’Elanna wasn’t the only one left inside as the core containment failed. And Seven had been saying something about there being no other option left while she was using a console. The realization hits her like a photon torpedo. “Wait here one second,” B’Elanna tells Harry, squeezing his right forearm lightly. “I think I’m going to find out soon.” She marches across the room, intersecting Seven’s trajectory near the opposite side of the core. B’Elanna faces her and she is suddenly, irrationally certain that Seven, too, remembers. There is no trace of confusion in her cool demeanor. “What the fuck,” B’Elanna hisses, “did you do to the warp core?”

It did make me feel sickos dot jpeg while writing it but I have another scene from this fic that I think made feel like that even more, it's another pivotal moment... I really do need to finish this fic so I can finally share it!!

[onekisstotakewithme]

Hiii hope I'm not too late to say 🌹 :3

No, not too late at all! I'm sorry for answering so late 😅 to make up for it, have THREE sentences for the price of one.

“You have to understand that a marriage like yours… in Korea? A unicorn, Beej. You were… the rarest thing of all. A good husband.”

BJ grimaces. “Not always.”

“Well okay, not always. But you tried. And you loved Peg so much it made me love her too. So if you weren’t the way you were, I wouldn’t be standing here.”

Thank you 💜

[thebreakfastgenie]

#this is so fun#bj really puts the dad in dad rockl @beej-machinations

Thank you so much!!

#love how it keeps cutting back to the motorcycle. it took him 100 years to stumble-drive down that hil

The narrative conceit of the motorcycle sequence, such that there is one, is Hawkeye remembering all these great BJ moments as BJ flees the police, having escaped after his arrest.

#also best use of radar drums ever

I'm so proud of Radar drums, I think it's my second favorite part of this video!

#so brave and sexy of you to post an amv with that long of an instrumental XD#ultimate bj scenepack

THANK YOU!! This means a lot because it was absolute hell. This song is 3 and a half minutes long and like 2 minutes of it is instrumental. I think most of the time I spent on this was just finding clips to fill it out with. I used 33 different episodes making this.
