#thanks for playing!!

[seiwas]

Hi hi sel <3333 hope you're doing well(๑'ᴗ')ゞ

Could you do iwa + soulmate au and nanami+ royal au ; please? (｡•́︿•̀｡)

hi kiku! thanks for playing with me! 🥺💗 i hope you’re doing well too!!

i’ll skip on the iwa one because i actually have a soulmate iwa thing in the works rn 🥹 i might save the collage for a moodboard when the time comes 🥺

as for nanami + royalty au:

blue to complement his golden hair.

nanami is loyal and considerate; your union may have been arranged for political gain, but he respects his role as your husband, and you above all.

the distance he keeps between the two of you is for that very same reason—there is no part of him that would want you to feel compelled to remain in his company. you were forced enough to even entertain this marriage.

in the late mornings, just right before midday, you take the horses. he follows a few meters behind to keep watch, should anything happen, but your horse tends to drag its hooves along the worn-down path, slowing its pace to match his own’s.

these daily strolls bring you closer—a connection of shared interests and a chemistry neither of you can pull away from. you learn then, that nanami loves to write; about his day, about thoughts that come and go, hastily jotted down so he may not forget—about you, and all the things he had been hesitant to tell you at the time.

he pulls one thing from the pages of his notebook, however, a question scrawled on almost every passage you appear in—

Do you delight in being my wife?

send me a character + a trope/au and i’ll do a mini collage like this!

[thesunpersists]

trick or treat 🧡 (would love a rec for your fav everlark oneshot!)

Thank you @maidstew! Here is a photo of yesterday's cool sunset for you!

Honestly, I thought about this for a reeally long time because it is hard to choose! And I know I am probably blanking on some great stuff I've read recently, but here are some of my favs:

Double Date by @notsocooljess Modern setting done to perfection-- who doesn't love a Reddit story turned to fanfiction? :P

A Song of Found Souls by @mollywog This one is such a beautiful story of friendship and love. Some great worldbuilding, too!

Ordinary World by @petruchio One canon-compliant story for good measure. Katniss and Peeta go to Gale's wedding. I absolutely love how Gale is portrayed in this story and Everlark is just so cute and married.

Thanks for stopping by! ❤️

[baejax-the-great]

hiiiiii for the wip game: hands, hair, hold

Hands:

His swing goes wide, he stumbles forward, tripping over Peisandros and landing on his hands in the dirt, and somewhere behind him, men start yelling.

Hair:

Achilles is dragged to his feet by the hair, and he whirls around to face his new attacker. He is met with an enormous shield slamming into him and knocking him to the ground.

Hold:

It is late, too late to wake anyone up, and what could they do for him anyway? Hold his hand while he dies?

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

For ask gam: 11, 25 and 27

11. Do you have a comfort item? Tell us about it!

Hrrmmm. When I was a kid I had a stuffed animal duck named Jake, he used to be my comfort item, somewhat 🤣 even tho my sisters threatened to eat him like all the time 🥲

Nowadays... huh. I mean, I wear two rings that both have special meaning to me, and I like to finger them when I'm thinking or stressed. I got one from my dad that says on the inside and outside together, "I love you to the moon and back," but the second half is only on the inside so the outside just says "I love you" and I like to look at it and smile. :) The other ring is just my purity ring, but I "inherited" it from my sister (aka she came up to me one day after she got a new one and shoved her old ring on my finger and was like "here" and yeah lol) so it's still somehow special. 😁💙

25. If your soul was a color, what would it be?

Probably a light pink 😁🩷 even tho blue is my favorite color

27. Do you like to garden? Have you ever grown something?

Hahaha..... Welp, I would love to be good at gardening, but it's not my gift 🤣 I tried to grow cucumbers once as a kid and they only grew to be about two inches long lol

[bruceewayne]

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

Tanizaki

First impression

aw man he's cute too bad he's a terrorist

Impression now

i'm so soft for him i'm not even kidding, he's adorable to me and i'm so invested every time he does anything remotely out of his comfort zone because i just want him to succeed

Favorite moment

hands down when he threw himself out of a moving car and kenji caught him i'm so normal about this scene

Idea for a story

i really really really wanna write some atsutani, this ship took my heart by storm and just anything cute and fluffy for them is on my writing bucket list (also i have this nsfw draft of soukoku ft tanizaki sitting in my drafts that i'll never finish but psht)

Unpopular opinion

despite some of their scenes being uncomfortable af his relationship to naomi is actually really sweet and i wish they left the creepy stuff out so i could enjoy them without having to explain myself 💀

Favorite relationship

love tanizaki and kenji actually, they're besties in my head

Favorite headcanon

strikes me as someone who stress bakes

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

Tendou

First impression

funfact tendou and makoto tachibana from free! have the same german voice actor and because i watched both of these shows in german my first reaction was turning to my sister like "holy shit is that makoto"

Impression now

he's so fun to me, i never have a bad time watching tendou do anything. i'm reading the manga rn and his commentary throughout the karasuno vs nekoma match is my favorite thing in the world

Favorite moment

it doesn't matter if you don't understand what he's saying it's all about the delivery

Idea for a story

oh hmm... good question actually lol. something tensemi idk i don't write him often

Unpopular opinion

he deserved to be bullied for that bowl cut (I'M KIDDING)

Favorite relationship

i mean we all love the ushiten dynamic but honestly tensemi will always be special to me, i live for their dynamic

Favorite headcanon

with haikyuu i never know what's canon and what's headcanon- i like to think that he got his buzzcut on a whim and then spent 10 minutes crying in front of the mirror, cradling his hair in his arms

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸

Akaza

First impression

i was so scared for kyojuro lemme tell you but his soundtrack was too cool i couldn't resist the epicness

Impression now

there's rarely been a character that's both so funny and so sad to me. everything about him cracks me tf up but if i think about him for more than five seconds i will start crying

Favorite moment

the moment when he sinks into koyuki's arms kills me. every. time.

Idea for a story

i really wanna do a character study with him at some point and focus on his relationship to humanity/monstrosity i just need a scenario i can weave this into

Unpopular opinion

idk what to put here so i'm just gonna say PUT SOME GODDAMN SHOES ON I DON'T NEED YOUR FEET IN MY FACE EVERY OTHER PANEL BY GOD

Favorite relationship

i fuck so hard with him and douma because douma holds all the cards in that relationship and i live for toxic imbalanced dynamics

Favorite headcanon

idk why but i like the idea that he sleeps every now and then just for the heck of it. and when he does he dreams but he never remembers them when he wakes up

🖤Trick or treat!🖤

Drabble or fake fic for: everlark find the hanging tree

Hi @thesweetnessofspring , thanks for stopping by! Here is a pretty flower I saw the other day:

I know this is probably not what you had in mind, but my first thought was a fake fic where Katniss and Peeta develop a taste for old films post-war and come across "The Hanging Tree" (1959) starring Gary Cooper and Maria Schell. I feel like the themes of care, healing, and finding love in a difficult and unconventional situation would speak to them. ❤️

Plus, this is how Gary Cooper's character is described in an IMBD review: "He is a man of sharp contrast, kind but domineering, compassionate but unyielding, a healer but a killer, strong but at the same time frail." Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it? 👻

[acacia-may]

Hi Acacia!

I hope you're doing well and are feeling better now ❤️🫶

For the ship bingo what about Langris x Finesse, Vanessa x Finral and if you'll allow me to be self indulgent my Nozelena 💕

Aww thank you so much Lola! I hope you’re doing well too! Thanks for the ask 💕

Langris x Finesse

I unapologetically adore this ship, and Langris (sort of) stepping aside for Finral to have a shot at taking over the House of Vaude out of real, genuine, selfless love for Finesse is a hill I will die on. Sorry not sorry. As conflicted as I am about this pairing because I generally have no patience for love triangles and this whole arranged marriage situation is a convoluted mess that makes me want to bang my head in a cabinet, I still love this pairing because it is easier for me to believe that it is Langris who genuinely loves Finesse for who she is as a person not this perfect, idealized view of her that his brother has. And this isn’t to say that Finral couldn’t eventually deepen his love for Finesse beyond that idealism, sentimentality, and infatuation but (I’m convinced) that Langris is already there. Why else hasn’t he married her all this time? He doesn’t think he can make her happy and that’s what he wants even if it means giving up his own dreams & what he has worked for his entire life. That kind of selflessness is real love in my opinion (regardless of whether you want to qualify it as platonic or romantic though I’m inclined to the latter seeing as they are engaged to be married).

And Finesse genuinely loves him too. She builds this friendship with him and grows to genuinely care about him in a way that (by her own admission) sees his flaws & has “no misgivings about him” but still recognizes the good in him and chooses to love him anyway. For Langris’ whole life all he has ever wanted was unconditional love. He has that with her (whether in a romantic sense or not) so of course I’m going to get a little feral about it.

I think everyone wants to be loved for who really are as a person, not this perfect, canonized version of themselves on a pedestal. In my mind, Langris and Finesse truly know each other and then choose to love each other anyway even when it’s hard or even when it means making sacrifices. And that’s why it’s my favorite in the whole “House Vaude Drama Cluster” (Not to mention the fact that I need this to be canon so Finral doesn’t go back to House Vaude, but that’s another story…)

Also, I’m a fan of people actually marrying their fiancee’s, you know? It would be nice to see that happen for a change instead of having somebody’s estranged brother swoop in to try to marry the girl who is engaged to his sibling… I don’t like when engagement or marriage is used as a plot device that can be discarded whenever convenient, and the execution of this entire Finral, Langris, & Finesse plotline has been beyond frustrating and unnecessarily complicated and I can’t stand it! Makes me root for this ship just on principle like…my boy, Finral, I love you but you can’t do this, sweetie! Ultimately I’m convinced Langris loves Finesse enough to just give up everything & step aside for Finral to marry her once he proves himself worthy of her (in Langris’ opinion) but that just makes me ship him with her more so…

Vanessa x Finral

I like this pairing a lot, but I feel conflicted because I also really like them as just platonic friends, Vanessa hasn’t shown romantic inclination towards him in the canon (even if there is a possibility feelings could develop in the future), and most of all because I don’t think the story is going in this direction & while I like Finral x Finesse it doesn’t have that certain something this one has and I can’t shake the thought that this pairing being end game would be better for him than returning to House Vaude but I digress… In that way, I think I prefer the their story that the actual pairing itself, even if their dynamic is fun to me! It’s definitely a guilty pleasure ship of mine, but I feel like I ship it very conditionally/under specific circumstances, and don’t feel a feral need for them to be canon if that makes sense?

Nozel x Helena

I love them so much! Nozelena has quickly become my favorite pairing with Nozel in it! Helena is such an amazing, dynamic and interesting character on her own, but pairing her with Nozel is just chef’s kiss. He deserves that sunshine princess and I adore how Helena and his love for her has inspired him to become a better person. Also I really just vibe with their opposite’s attract dynamic and find their interactions very fun! They’re so in love your honor! I don’t make the rules

[stardustandash]

WIP possible words…. Tremble, mantis, hold, run.

Thanks for playing anon!! I chose run out of these options to go with some humour.

"Yes, I definitely count running from the Empire as 'healthy cardio'..."

[francesderwent]

I'm late to this ask game, but I want to guess one now that I've read your list. I'm not sure if it's been guessed, but what about Han and Leia?

ooooooh

favorite or defining moment: "you like me 'cause I'm a scoundrel" "I happen to like nice men" "I'm nice men" "no you're not"

rating: they are absolutely wholesome! han meets her and she calls him names and he spends the rest of the franchise following her around with hearts in his eyes even though he owes the mob money and they're going to start sending hit men after him, but no, it's more important that han be able to flirt with his princess friend on a miserable ice planet

song: "Your Man" by Five for Fighting, "I don't want to be a saint on your shoulder / I don't want to be young, another day older / I don't want to be the son of a better man / I don't want to love you any more than the best I can / I just want, I want, I want to be your man"

couple: I'm gonna say Damon and Elena again!!! especially in light of Solo (which I love), Han is someone who has a very good, open heart but life kicked him around until he gave into cynicism, but all it takes for him to be pulled back to the light is to meet this girl who doesn't take his shit and takes charge and bosses him around and is constantly, persistently choosing hope

AU: I think it would be really fun for both of them to kind of know each other before they know each other! I want Han to be generally aware of Leia because she's infamous for being beautiful and unattainable and mean, and I want Leia to be kind of a nerd about everyone who attempts the Kessel Run

they did not make the list!

24 and 28

24. Would you ever collaborate with another writer for a story?

hm. not sure— i’ve never done this before and i’d happily try it. one of my great shortcomings is a near-total lack of creativity, and i wonder if working with someone who had more flair for ideas wouldn’t just be like… idyllic. but by that same token it’s not something i can see myself ever suggesting lol (“omg i love your ideas can i leech off of them? and take partial credit?”)

28. Share a piece from one of your current WIPs!

from an extreeeeEEEEmely distantly upcoming jordan/emily cme fic chapter:

Tara slaps her arm with what surely exceeds necessary force.

“Ow! What?”

“Oh, I’m just returning the favor.”

What, has she forgotten about some kind long-term game of Punch Buggy they’ve been playing, but with Counterterrorism? Tara looks wildly smug.

“What favor?”

“Oh yeah, right, sure— so only you get to pick up signs and clues and spikes on the thermometer?”

“What— you’re talking about— Jordan?”

“No, I think that weird little half-bashful, half-electric eye contact thing you guys had going on was extremely professional and distant,” Tara deadpans. “Jeez. And you said I was obvious.”

“Come on.”

“Don’t make me try to make that a joke. You won’t like it.”

“I— oh, seriously, Tara.” There isn’t, actually, a joke sparkling in her eyes. It’s a warm but quite serious curiosity, with an opportunistic edge. She rallies; her ears are hot with rising mortification, but they’re hidden by her hair. Plausible deniability, Prentiss. She’s got bigger problems than reading new magnetism into old friendship. “We aren’t a thing. That wasn’t anything.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Do you think Agent Todd knows that?”
