I'm so heavily anti-advertising that all pitches sound goofy silly to me/I can never take them seriously, so I have no idea how I'll manage to to advertise my game even if I do finally finish it soon-ish lol...
#Especially how so much modern media advertising is like... getting people excited about random tropes and stuff like#''Do you love enemies to lovers? Do you love sad stories that make you do a heckin CRY? Do you love big stupid dumbo muffin cake#sinnamon roll babies who are too good for this world? Have you ever wanted to read a blah blach blah" whatever stuff and it's like#... i cannot type that... I couldnt do it.. I couldn't even think of how to do it ghbjhbjh#I am such a literal person... Like I love when an advertisement is just like 'This product works well. Look at it. Buy it if you want. Ok'#You know what makes me want to read a book or watch a show or play a game? Reading a detailed plot synopsis or the full wiki page#for it and then deciding 'yeah I wouldnt mind sitting through seeing the events I just read about happen in more detail' lol#OR aesthetics. since I do often watch things JUST for the set/costume design. Sometimes I will watch stuff literally#just because I saw a picture of a costume in it that looked really cool and I want to sketch costume looks whilst watching#But aside from appearance like... little bullet point break downs of things that are in a story just ... do not do anything to me at all.#And i just hate 'selling' things to begin with. I don't want to have to convince people to like something.. they should just... like it...#LOL.. like.. just be born liking it. just like it automatically please. Dont make me beg to you like a weird little freak. So many commerci#als seem weirdly desperate and manipulative. Like those Truck/Car commercials that will have like a freaking dog crying and#a war vet in a wheelchair with the american flag in the background and a family hugging around a christmas tree or some shint and its#just like oh my GODDD... shut UPP.. you could literally not be MORE blantant about just trying to prey on peoples emotions to build#some sort of fabricated positive association with your product/brand.. begone.. Or brands having their own twitters where they post#~~relatable content~~ as a means of shallow audience endearment GGGRR..... ANYWAY.. hhrgh...................#Maybe that's something I can ask playtesters I guess like.. I feel like I don't know my own audience very well because I am not#much of a media person?? ironically.. Like I do enjoy MAKING media. But I've never been in a fandom. I've never read fanfiction. I've never#spent much time in those spaces. I've just never really had the inclination and don't personally derive much joy out of stuff like that#(since I'm already so focused on my OWN world and projects its like.. hard for me to even find the time and mental energy to expend on#others). Even when I finish a movie or game and really like it.. I just kind of like...move on? and don't really dwell on it much? At most#I will get into the worldbuilding of a piece of media and read the wiki for a while or watch Lore info or critical analysis videos. But I#never really care for or attach to the characters or the plot itself very much. So I feel like.. the way my brain works. I'm just not as#good at approaching things from that angle? Kind of like how if you're a lifelong vegetarian whos never eaten meat - you might#struggle to write an ad for fancy brand of steaks bc you'd be like... idk what meat eaters are even looking for? whats the selling point??#Which I'm not saying that I wouldn't play my own game. i AM definitely the audience for it. But it's more like.. I would play it for my own#very niche specific reasons that I think are different from what MOST people might want to play it for. So I need to somehow#tap into the minds of the Majority who play things for Normal Reasons than pure lore collection or whatever lol.

1982
Do you sometimes expect more than you get? In what situations exactly? I mean sometimes, yeah, but it's not a default for me. Life is full of disappointments and I've been let down by it more times than I wish it has, and I've learned to manage my expectations.
Give me an example of a time you thought your life was completely over. When Kimi died and I was at a complete loss on what to do in terms of moving on and accepting a chapter of my life without him.
What's your favorite song at the moment? Name a lyric from that song? G-Dragon's Untitled, 2014. Please, just once, if I can just see you / I'm okay with losing everything I have / I'll meet you, even if it's in a dream / And we can love again as we are.
When was the last time you were in the car, and had the music up high? Earlier; I always have the music pretty loud if I'm driving alone.
Is there anyone you envy so much, you just want to be that person? No...sounds pretty miserable dedicating your life to wanting to be a specific person.
What was the last piece of candy you ate? What kind of candy was this? It's not really candy but I had Binch this weekend, which is a Korean brand of chocolate biscuits. It's very similar to Japan's Alfort, only I find Binch milkier and creamier.
How old are you? And when exactly did you turn this age anyways? I turned 26 last April and have just a little over a month to go before I turn 27.
Do you ever make fanvids for something you like or are obsessing over? No, my skills in editing photos and videos is like at a -300 â but I do watch fan edits, heh. People are crazy talented!
When you like someone, do you do the juvenille name comparing trick? The...what?
Have you ever heard of a gay preacher before? Is this person your preacher? I don't think so, no.
Have you ever worked at a candy store before? Did you steal candy there? Nope.
What is one serial killer you think was fashionably organized at their work? I have no idea and as a greater thought, I am very relieved I don't have much of an input on this question lmao.
Do you have a theme song? What do you consider your theme song to be? No.
Have you ever done something you regret doing so badly and want to take back? Honestly, no. I do have regrets, but they're usually everyday, minor ones. I don't look at the past and feel desperation toward changing it...it's more, this was your past, you did what you did knowing what you knew and having what you had; what you did was your best and that's enough.
What is one Disney movie you can actually stand? Why do you like this one? Why is this question assuming I'm after Disney's ass lmfao? I like a solid collection of their movies, but a consistent favorite above the rest has always been Toy Story. It's just so creative dude. I could never in a million years be that person in a room who pitches to make an entire plot out of toys who come alive when the owner leaves.
What is one song that makes you want to puke? What movie makes you want to? No song is puke-worthy to me but Apt has been pissing me off for months, if anything. No puke-worthy movie for me, either.
Do you enjoy country music? Why or why dont you like this music? I don't like country music. It's just not interesting to me, and I don't find the style to be appealing or catchy. I will only explore it if a singer I like explicitly dabbles in country, case in point Cowboy Carter.
Do you have any siblings? Are you a twin with one of these siblings? I have 2 siblings; no, I'm not a twin and neither are they.
Do you celebrate holidays? Which ones are your favorites? The only ones I observe are Christmas and a couple of historical/revolutionary ones we have that align with my political beliefs.
Do you like Pixie Stix? Which colors of them are your favorites? I've never tried that.
Is there anyone you know personally who looks like a famous movie star? Nobody comes to mind.
What is your least favorite color? Neon green.
What's one thing you'd want to change about yourself if you have the chance? Maybe not being born in a third-world country would be first on my things to change, if I could.
Do you ever watch Youtube videos, and think some people are pathetic? Not really, but ONLY BECAUSE I already actively avoid the content I know I'd find pathetic and make me feel stressed, lol.
Have you ever tried to make your own spoof of a movie before? No.
How many people have you slowly drifted away from in the past couple years? Not sure if I can answer this. My circle's been tight the last few years.
Name something positive that is going on in the room you're in right now. My Spotify, set to shuffle at the moment, seems to know the vibe I'm going for tonight so I haven't had to press Next as much as I thought I would. :D
Do you own Guitar Hero World Tour? Is it your favorite one so far? I'm pretty sure we had it for the Wii! I didn't play it much. I've always been TERRIBLE with finger movements so I never could do a complete song on Guitar Hero with the guitar controller... not even on easy mode, lol.
Which one do you think is better: Rockband or GH World Tour? I liked Rock Band mainly because my experience of it was playing the game on PSP, which to me was miles easier than playing it on the guitar controller that GH had. I also liked the idea that you can switch your 'part' in the band. One line you're drums, the next you're doing bass â I found that really cool and a lot more engaging!
Have you ever written a movie review online before? Which movie(s?) As far as I can remember, no.
Do you ever think that you have bad grammar? Ever consider taking lessons? Assuming we're talking about English â no. The language always came naturally to me; in fact there were a few times when I was a kid that they had me sit out exams on English grammar since I already had a good enough standing in class.
Funnily but also sadly enough, it's Filipino grammar I haven't perfected; then again it's a language with many nuances and 'rules' and I often continue to learn new things about it.
How often do you take pictures with your friends? Is this a fun process? Omg, almost never. Like with Angela, I've had to resort to using 10-year-old photos with her every time I've needed to post photos of myself with her, since we never pose for pictures. Just this year alone I've seen her like 5 times â not a single photo together, lmao.
What is your favorite band? Your favorite song by this band is: Paramore, Turn It Off.
Do your parents think you still believe in Santa Claus? That's funny. My mom will occasionally make jokes in reference to it just to keep the Christmas spirit alive, like saying that Santa Claus dropped off presents during this or that day.
Do your family members have good tastes in clothing? Or the stuff they wear..? Sure. We're all very unique in our styles, though, so we always look super uncoordinated when we go out HAHA
What color and design does your favorite belt have on it? What size is it? It's a black-brown belt with a braided design. I'd guess it's either an XS or S since my waist is pretty tiny.
What is one disease you're diagnosed with? If you have been diagnosed.
Has your grandmother ever bought you something so tacky, its embarassing? Nope.
Do you or did you ever have braces? Or do you know wear retainers? I did before in my teens, but I currently have them again for a second round. The first time around I was bad at wearing my retainers until I ultimately lost them, so my teeth moved back to their old position after a few years.
What's one movie you regret seeing because it changed your life in some way? None. The more a movie affects me, whether for better or for worse or just plain emotionally, the more I grow a soft spot for it.
Is your hand-eye coordination as good as it's supposed to be? Is this good? I'd say it's better than average.

Christmas Carol autism rant
Honestly of all the stories and songs and such that get oversaturated during christmas, I unironically enjoy how many versions of A Christmas Carol there are. Not only because its a good story in general, but because unlike something like Rudolph, every single version has a uniqueness to them. The simplicity of the plot allows for so much messing around with the setting, the timeline, the mood, its all so malleable. And then there are the characters. Scrooge, Marley, and the ghosts specifically are all fairly simple archetypes, but because of their simplicity, each variant of the story can expand on said archetypes however they want, heck they can even completely zigzag the archetypes and put something completely different in the slot of one of the characters. Especially for the ghosts. Usually theyâll just go with the archetypes of angel, santa, death, but every single version gives the trio their own flavor. An angel can be a lot of things, like a girl, or a candle, or a dirty taxi driver, or the Eleventh Doctor. But Scrooge himself is probably the most interesting. Compared to the other characters in the story, heâs the one that changes the least between each adaptation on the surface. Grumpy old man, hates christmas, greedy, bad childhood, bad friends, bad breakup, the works. These guidelines are mostly unflinchingly rigid, but the exact brand of bitterness, and the details of the events, are left up to whoeverâs writing. My favorite version by far though is unironically the Muppets version. Unlike most other adaptations, Scrooge doesnât seem that hateful in that version. He still does the same greedy and evil crap as the other Scrooges, but he isnât as angry as the rest are. You donât get the impression that he hates anyone, and he seems more depressed than anything else. Even when he outright says that poor people should die, he just sounds done. Like heâs only saying it because he doesnât care enough to filter what he says. And of all other Scroogeâs heâs the most willing to change. When heâs shown his past he immediately brightens up upon seeing simpler, more familiar times. When hes with the ghost of christmas present and sees the cratchets and his nephew, he makes the least wisecracks of any other Scrooge, and seems genuinely hurt by how lowly people think of him. And when yet to come arrives, he goes with him willingly, knowing that this is something he must face if he wants to be saved. Oh yeah, if you canât tell, the muppets version is my favorite, the Marleys scene solidified Statler and Waldorf as my favorite muppets and is easily the highlight of the movie for me. But for some close contenders, George C Scottâs version is definitely the creepiest version Ive ever seen and it gives a lot more context about Scroogeâs life than most others. The Ghost of Christmas present is surprisingly intimidating, and dear GOD yet to come gives me chills. Itâs strange how much mileage you can get out of a creaking gate sound effect. The Doctor Who version is also a personal favorite for being both weird and clever at the same time. Weird because its on an alien planet where sharks float in the air and can be used to drive chariots, but still SUPER clever for how it screws around with the story. I dont want to spoil too much, mostly because I want an excuse to not explain how bonkers the story is, but the way they mess with the âpast present and futureâ theming is genius, because of course it was this is doctor who weâre talking about. And of course theres Spirited which is also extremely clever with how it messes with the story, but is also just really fun and charming to watch.
Iâve already written so much that I do not have the energy for a well written conclusion so uh, my point is that Christmas Carol adaptations are awesome despite the fact they probably shouldnât be, and umâŠstay hydrated!

i kinda wanna get into sp??? not nearly as much as you but like watch a few episodes. i probably wont watch it for a while cause i have a LONGGG list of stuff to watch but everything else is relatively short wheras south park. well. even though im probably a sonic mutual to you i think south park has wayyy too much stuff for me to like. just start from anywhere.
anyway point is do you have any episode suggestions??? i dont really mind if you just decide to give me all the creek episodes and call it a day tbf, the only one i actually have it in my head that i "need" to watch is the transginger ep
SJJFJEJFBFJRJFNF this makes me so happy for some reason !!
The thing is with this show you don't really have to start from anywhere or go in a specific order, at least I didn't and it's pretty episodic so it's really easy to be a casual watcher tbh
I will say thought the show has a ton of like, shock humour n a lot of bigoted characters, like cartman who's a bigot in every way possible but he's never actually justified in his bigotry and the creators of the shown obviously don't share his views but yea
You can watch it on southparkstudios.com for free and with very rare ads - though for some people it won't let them watch anything on it so idk
For creek episodes - there's "tweek x Craig" (my first episode!!!) and "put it down" which is sometime after the aforementioned episode (my second episode-), there's also "tweek vs Craig" which takes place much before tweek x Craig but it doesn't really have much of an impact on their relationship afterwards, though I really like all those episodes especially put it down, for some reason, it actually helped me understand relationships and emotions better ??????? Even though the advice is pretty simple it still helped
Creek also makes minor appearances in splatty tomato (though the episode is mostly about Cartman and Heidis toxic relationship), and buddha box (ep focused on isolating urself from societu pretty much), though they're there !!
As for heidi there's also doubling down which takes place before splatty tomato, and also put it down where her n cartman's relationship is paralleled to creek in a way
This is random but theres also episodes focused on gay acceptance, such as "big gay Al's gay boat ride" (aired in 1997!!!), where Stan learns to accept his dog for being gay essentially, and "cartman sucks" which is actually pretty cursed because half of the plot is about Cartman sexually assaulting butters, uhm but the other half is mostly an anti conversion therapy message (though there's a lot of moments referencing suicide rates in conversion camps)(episode aired in 2008) which is when butters was sent to a conversion camp
Speaking of Butters he's absolutely horridly traumatized and abused and if you'd like to see it on screen there's "butter's very own episode" and "Marjorine" ,both are dark as hell though so uh tw for murder attempt, referenced suicide, and uhh horror themes in general ???
OH ALSO RIGHT. THE TRANSGINGER EPISODE sorry j lost track of my words. It's called "The Cissy". I like it though some people consider it to be anti trans I beg to differ, it's mostly about gendered bathrooms and pop singer Lorde though
My fav sadder ? Episodes are "Kenny Dies", "you're getting old", "ass burgers" (the latter two connected and focus on Stan's depression), though they still use dumb humour
For Craig centric episodes there's "pandemic" and "pandemic 2 the startling"
If you want to be cursed to hell u can watch "Scott tennorman must die" though it really freaked me out even though I exactly knew the plot twist I was still horrified lmao
For STAN and KYLE episodes (?) (the super best friends I adore as well) you can watch "guitar queer-o", "follow that egg" and "smug alert!"
If you want episodes about Kyle feeling like a total outcast you can watch "the list", "chinpokomon", "Mr Hankey the Christmas poo", "the world-wide privacy tour" and "south park is gay"
Dang sorry I dropped like what. Twenty episodes at once.. well I think I watched tweek x Craig first, then put it down, then you're getting old?, then Kenny dies? And I just like spiraled from there
If you want any more specific episode recommendations feel free to ask !!! I haven't personally watched all of the show myself (still omw to do it) so I don't know everything
Uhmmm I understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore cuz of how cursed this show is though đđ but good luck if u decide on watching it !!!
#anyway is there a fucking rat in my toy box i keep hearing something move in it its annoying me#i#sp#south park#asks

omg vinny i'm feeling terrible for you because i think i must have filled up your askbox and i dont want to controbute to stress. i've def sent my fair share of anons! lol!
it was me talking about star wars before christmas, and re the sequels, ill just say this... on reading your post, i dont even remember han, leia and luke dying in those movies? loooool
i think my brain just didnt even take them in the new films that seriously. or rather, the old stories are so in my head that theyre almost untouchable? and anything that came after like the sequels was just treated as like... a side dish in my brain. choose your own ending. this was jj abrams (or whoever's) chance at a choose your own ending.
im not a big star wars person so maybe its seen as immature by keen fans to essentially decide not to accept what fans call 'canon', but i think also the new blood in those films was so entertaining and exciting and seemed to be more about them. i think the old cast were put in for a little wink to the older fans. my first thoughts if someone mentions the sequels are the pilots, and rey and kylo and their sexual tension haha.
maybe im exposing myself but yeah. although now i think of it, i did love the kylo/han story because it felt emotionally grounded of what would happen to those characters - like yeah, leia and han wouldnt exactly have a stable marriage would they lol. a kid and then losing each other felt realistic and i loved getting emotional watching it. lots of guff to get there though!
Do not fret my friend, do not feel terrible!! I love it, I love getting everyone's messages and talking with everyone. It's so lovely here. I feel so at ease and invested and have tons of fun when I log on here and dive into things. Blow up that askbox. It make take a while, but I try my very best to get back... at some point. I've started to sometimes recognize when different anons might be the same person, and other times I absolutely cannot tell!
That's so funny you cannot remember them dying in the sequels because it's the one aspect that upset me the most!! I can forgive a lot of the bizarre writing choices and pacing and ill attempts at inserting modern humor and plot points that sucked - but killing off the entire OG trilogy trio was unforgivable to me đ
I do see what you mean as not taking them seriously and I do kind of agree in a way - it was a total tonal misstep including them at all!! I really think they should have focused on the new original characters because those new characters were really awesome! Shining spots in the shitshow! But they had to fit them into the Skywalker saga and that should have stopped at the end of Empire. Their story was concluded there!! Completed!! The older fans (like myself) should just be content with the older movies. New stuff should be new stuff, embrace that.
I totally get what you're saying about understanding and thinking the trajectory of what we got with the Han and Leia and Luke storylines could be seen as realistic, and thus we can disagree and still be chill, my friend hahahaha. Yeah, Maybe things wouldn't be all perfect and happily ever after - my thing is just that... I didn't need that spelled out for us. I would have rather left it to the imagination, not defining the rest of their lives, leaving it up to interpretation. I didn't need all that. I do now kiiiiiiinda reject "canon" and prefer to pretend things went a different way. It all just seemed drama for drama sake and I hate hate hate the trope of media being revisited and the whole thing is that the characters we watched fight for and attain a happy ending - all get that ending undone for the sake of more content. Ughhhhhh.
It's fine, it's fine, it's all fine!!! I'm totally normal about Star Wars. One day I will stop whining hahaha

12 Days of ODM: Day 1
Dedicated to: @bianww (Also special thank you for the art at the end! I freaking love it :D Everyone check it out!)
Prompt: Jellal is Levyâs overprotective big brother and she just brought her boyfriend home.
AO3
This had to be Hell.
Jellal was certain that was where he had managed to find himself. He must have died of an aneurysm and been sent straight to its lowest level. That was the only answer as to why Gajeel Redfox was sitting beside his little sister at their dining room table.
Holding. Her. Hand.
Thank you so much for such a fun prompt! I, uh, hope you donât mind that I took some creative liberties with it. Iâm not sure why my brain said âMake Jellal a former hitman and Gajeel his rivalâ when you gave me this prompt but thatâs what happened. im so sorry if this is incredibly out of character I hope you like it! Merry Christmas :D
****************************
The breeze was biting as it howled around Jellal, tearing the black hood from his azure hair and whipping it across his eyes, effectively blinding the scope he was peering through.
Winter jobs. He hated winter jobs.
With an angry huff, he pulled the hood back up over his head and tugged the scarf around his neck up over his nose before he returned his eye to the piece atop his rifle. Once this was over, he was going to march up to Makarov and tell him he was no longer taking any jobs between October and February unless they happened well south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Heâd find a way to stretch his earnings to last, lord knows he made more than enough to hibernate.
After all, it wasnât like there was ever a shortage of bad guys that needed to be killed.
Sighing loudly, Jellal watched the door of the bar tucked between two unassuming bodegas deep in the heart of the city. Eventually his targetâ mob leader code named Zeroâ would walk through those doors and receive one bullet to the temple. It would be as swift as possible to ensure Jellal could finally get out of this damn cold.
âCome on,â he snarled to himself, his words carried on the fog of his breath and briefly misting over the scopeâs lense. There were very few things that could have made this job any worse.
Rain, snow, a bust, orâ
âYa look like ya could use a break, how about you get outta here and let me finish the job?â
Him.
The universe seemed to have jokes tonight, and if Jellal was a more pious man, he might need to have a stern talking with whoever was in charge. That was the only explanation as to why Gajeel Redfox was on the same rooftop as him in the middle of the night as he was about to take out the second highest ranking mob boss in the city.
âWhat are you doing here, Fox?â He hissed, not even bothering to look away from his mark. With his luck, Zero would walk out the exact moment he turned to shoot the second hitman a patented glare.
âWell donât sound so excited to see me, Mystogan,â Gajeel said, voice filled with biting sarcasm, his steps coming closer to Jellal as he crossed the roof. Heat radiated off the other man as he stopped just to the right of him, presumably eyeing the exact same spot he was. If he was there, the only explanation would be that he was there to take out Zero before he did. Which only managed to make Jellal angrier.
âItâs funny how you just happen to keep showing up at the same jobs as me. Itâs almost like youâre following me,â the blue haired man said through gritted teeth as he fought every urge to pull away from his rifle just long enough to throw his unwelcome company over the side of the building. Gajeelâs unique and ever annoying laugh made him cringe.
âYouâll have to take that one up with Gramps. If we happen to keep getting the same targets, that isnât on me.â His words were annoyingly over confident, filled with the bravado of youth. Up until Gajeel had joined the team five months earlier, Jellal had been the youngest member at the tender age of 23. Now, just 18 years old, Gajeel had quickly made a name for himself and become one of the most requested hitmen out of the group. Second only to Jellal, which only seemed to stoke the flames of the fiery rivalry theyâd managed to cultivate in the short amount of time that theyâd known each other. Heâd tried to befriend the new assassin, but he knew how to push every single one of his buttons.
It was a deadly combination, especially when Jellal was certain he had frostbite on his ass and a rifle clutched in his hands.
All he had to do was focus on the mark. Zero would walk out those doors, Jellal would take him out, and then he could go home. He could do this. Taking a deep breath, he started to countdown from ten.
âMaybe he doesnât think you can finish the hits anymore.â
Or maybe tonight would be the night he finally did something about his biggest problem. Tearing away from the eyepiece, Jellal glared upwards at Gajeel one hand leaving the rifle and flying to the dagger sheathed at his hip. As if he wasnât about to be on the business end of a blade, Gajeel laughed, lifting his hands in quiet submission. Jellal didnât miss the the Desert Eagle in his right fist.
âAlright, Mystogan, sorry. I take it back,â he said as he waggled his fingers in a half assed attempt to alleviate the tension.
âDonât take it back, just get out of here,â Jellal growled, fingertips still brushing against the leather handle of his dagger as he considered how easy it would be to still rip it free of its sheath and throw it at Gajeel. His life could be so much easier if he just did.
âCanât do that, I--â
Gajeelâs words died in his throat as his crimson eyes flashed, catching the light of the street lights as they shot from Jellal to the door heâd been watching. As if in slow motion, he watched the way his rivalâs fingers twitched over the gunâs grip before he leveled it at his target. Turning quickly, Jellal pressed his eye back to the scope, only allowing himself a moment to ensure he was looking at Zero.
With a steadying breath his finger pulled the trigger as twin shots rang out through the otherwise silent night.
***
Winter. God, did Jellal hate winter. He pulled his jacket tighter around him as he made his way up the stairs of the house heâd inherited from his parents when theyâd died four years earlier, leaving him a 16-year-old sister to take care of, a pile of bills, and no means to continue his line of work. His forced retirement hadnât necessarily been a bad thing. With what he had saved, and what the Guild had paid him to ensure he was comfortable-- Weâre family after all-- he had managed to survive well enough. It at least was enough to bide him and Levy time for him to become a well adjusted member of society again and get a job that didnât involve killing gangsters in the middle of the night.
All things considered, he didnât miss it. Though his current accounting job didnât hold the same adrenaline rush, at least he knew he wouldnât ever need to worry about not returning home to his sister. Not to mention he didnât have to worry about sitting on a roof in this weather.
The front porch light was on, and the living room glowed with a golden aura that alerted him to the fact Levy was already home. She had been away at her third year of college, and had been unable to come home before their Christmas Eve dinner. A smile tugged the corner of his mouth upward as he took the steps two at a time and thrust the house key into the lock, making quick work of it so that he could make his way into the home. The smell of ham and a blanket of warmth welcomed him as he pushed the door shut behind him.
âLevy?â He called as he stepped towards the dining room to the left of the entrance. âHey Le--â The rest of her name lodged itself deep within his throat, nearly choking him as he crossed the threshold of the room. A thick silence fell over the room as if time and space themselves had frozen at the sight that lay before him.
This had to be Hell.
Jellal was certain that was where he had managed to find himself. He must have died of an aneurysm and been sent straight to its lowest level. That was the only answer as to why Gajeel Redfox was sitting beside his little sister at their dining room table.
Holding. Her. Hand.
If a blood clot in his brain hadnât already taken him out, he was certain it was about to as he felt his blood pressure rising. It suddenly felt unbelievably hot as he tried to get any words out passed the shrapnel that had imbedded itself into his throat.
I invited a friend over for Christmas Eve dinner because he doesnât have anyone, so be nice.
At the time Jellal had imagined this friend she had mentioned would be one of those two that always tagged behind her like besotted puppies. Drone, Jay, whatever their names were. He could handle those two, having already struck the fear of God into them but casually dropping that he was a trained hitman that knew an obscene amount of ways to make people disappear. Theyâd assumed it was just the joke of a crazy big brother, unaware that the best way to hide the truth was buried behind the confines of laughter.
Gajeel, however, was an entirely different story. The last time heâd seen the ever present thorn in his side had been shortly after the Zero incident, when the Guild had given him a proper send off. After the same niceties and condolences heâd heard from everyone else, the other hitman had disappeared from his life. Much to his delight.
He should have known he couldnât have been that lucky.
Jellalâs eyes darted from the couple seated at the table towards the numerous items that sat within reach that he could use to take Gajeel down and get Levy away from him. A vase to the back of the skull; a fork to the eye; and if things got particularly desperate, he could probably work something out with the ceiling fan if he needed to.
âJellal!â Levyâs voice was bright as it pulled his attention from the dark corners of his mind and back to his sister and her guest. She smiled at the black haired man just to her right, her fingers tightening in his grip before pulling free from his hold as she stood from her seat. As she made her way to him, her smile stretched wide, she missed the way Gajeelâs eyes flickered between the two of them. One of his studded brows shot upwards as he attempted to make the connection between the two. The corners of his mouth turned down as he finally rested his glare on Jellal. He looked displeased.
Good.
âItâs about time you got home!â Levy said as she threw her arms around his waist and pulled him into a hug. He returned the gesture as he glared back at Gajeel over the top of her head. Wars waged for dominance in the space between them as they held each others gazes, both oblivious to Levyâs words as she continued to speak.
â--boyfriend Gajeel!â
Jellal shook his head, breaking the bitter tension zinging between him and the unwelcome man at his dinner table as he turned his attention back to Levy as she pulled away from their hug.
âWhat?â Eloquent as ever, he admonished himself.
âI know I should have said something earlier, but I didnât want you to say he couldnât come. But I wanted you to meet my boyfriend,â Levyâs words were rushed as she gestured to the only other person in the room she could be referring to. âGajeel.â
The moment stretched in an unending pause as the two hitmen mentally plotted the course of the rest of their night. Jellal saw the moment Gajeel chose his path, cementing his choice with a grunt and curt nod before standing up from his seat and offering a hand over the table for him to shake.
âNice to meet you, sir.â He didnât miss the way Gajeel winced as he spoke, and he had to bite back a smile at the obvious discomfort it had caused him.
Now it was up to him to play along.
âCall me Jellal,â he said, pulling away from Levy and crossing the short distance between him and the table, taking Gajeelâs hand and squeezing it tightly in an overly firm handshake. Outwardly, he looked every bit a good older brother meeting his little sisterâs boyfriend for the first time. Inwardly, he was trying to figure out what exactly he had done to warrant this kind of karmic retribution.
Aside from the whole hitman thing and the lying to hide it from his family, of course.
âJellal,â Gajeel said through gritted teeth as he pulled his hand from the tight handshake, testing that he still had full range of motion as he spread his fingers wide before closing it into a fist. His sister made a small, happy sound as she watched them, apparently pleased by the false show of niceties before she started to head towards the kitchen.
âGood. Dinner is pretty much done, so let me just go start grabbing that,â she said over her shoulder as she strode across the room.
âYou need any help?â Jellal asked, pleading filling his voice. Either Levy didnât hear the plea, or she didnât care as she shook her head and gestured to the both of them.
âNot at all, you two get to know each other.â Her voice was filled with the same sunshine as her smile as she turned to leave. Steel shuddered over the olive green of his eyes as he glared at their guest who returned the look with matching ferocity.
âBe nice, Jellal.â
With the warning hanging in the air, his sister pushed open the door to the kitchen and disappeared inside. Before it had even finished swinging shut, Jellal was reaching across the table and grabbed Gajeel by the collar of his shirt.
âWhat are you playing at, Fox?â He growled through gritted teeth, other hand clutching a fork that he was ready to use to maim and destroy if the other man made any false moves. Hell, he might do it anyway just for the relief of being done with him. Jellal didnât miss the way Gajeelâs own hand had closed around a knife.
âIâm not playing at anything, Mystogan,â he spat in response, Jellalâs codename dripping with venom as it fell from his lips. âNow get your hands off me before I have to take them off for you.â
Instead, he pulled him closer as his eyes narrowed. Like Jellal would believe him so easily. Barring some sort of cosmic interference that wished to see him suffer, he couldnât imagine any other reason as to how Gajeel of all people found himself in his house for Christmas Eve dinner.
âWhy are you with my sister?â He asked a bit more forcefully, flipping the fork in his hand and holding it to the other manâs pulse point. Gajeel rolled his eyes at the show of force, flicking the knife and mirroring Jellalâs pose as he pressed the point into his throat. A beat of silence passed between them as they sized each other up, the cool silverware warming against their skin. The soft clinking of Levy in the kitchen was the only thing that disturbed the intensity of the quiet in the room before Gajeel finally sighed and pulled the knife away, hand opened in surrender in an all too familiar gesture.
âPut the fork down, Myst, unless you wanna explain to Lev how blood got all over the dinner table,â he growled low enough to be heard only be Jellal. âSomething tells me she doesnât know what you used to do for a living.â
The threat was barely veiled beneath a tone of nonchalance as Gajeel leveled him with a quizzical look.
Choose wisely.
Exasperation colored Jellalâs moan a careful shade of resignation as he let the collar go and pulled away. With a quick flick of his wrist, he flipped the fork over in his hand and pointed the dulled butt end of it at the smug man opposite of him.
âIf you tell her--â
In that moment, Levy came bursting back into the room with a ham perched on a large, silver platter.
âTell me what?â She asked, golden gaze flicking between Gajeel and Jellalâs tensed forms. The corner of her mouth bent downwards as she read the strained silence. Panic roiled in his stomach as he looked between Levy and Gajeel, mind racing to find a perfectly acceptable ending to that statement that didnât involve the words âhitman,â âkill,â and âwill shove your face into a microwave.â
âThat this will be my first real Christmas,â Gajeel said with a shrug, the ruby of his eyes bouncing imperceptibly from Jellal before returning to Levy as he spoke. The implied message was loud and clear.
You owe me.
Maybe Jellal would still consider something with that microwave idea.
âI wasnât gonna tell ya,â Gajeel continued, standing to take the plate from Levy and setting it down onto the table. âThe foster system isnât exactly a festive topic.â
They both watched as Levyâs mouth turned down ever so slightly at the edges, her golden eyes casting a saddened glance over their guest before her hand ghosted over his shoulder in a reassuring touch.
âIâm so sorry, Gajeel,â she whispered, her attention solely on the hitman as if Jellal wasnât even there anymore. He watched as Gajeel smiled at her, dropping a kiss over her knuckles before she pulled her hand away.
âItâs alright, Shrimp. I couldnât think of  a better way to spend the first one than with you,â he replied lowly, voice brusque with emotion. It almost felt intrusive watching them, which only served to annoy Jellal even more. He felt his eye twitch slightly as Levy turned away and disappeared back into the kitchen. Gajeelâs shoulders stiffened as he sat back down, eyes cutting through the blue haired man opposite him, daring him to say something.
Jellal rested an elbow on the table, pointing at his unwelcome guest with a stern look, voice even harsher as he spoke.
âIâm watching you, Fox.â
***
The worst part about the night, was that Jellal couldnât actually find any fault in Gajeelâs affections towards Levy. Much to his dismay, he was actually a completely different person when his sister around. Where heâd been a hardened, smartass killer whose sole purpose most often had seemed to annoy the piss out of Jellal, he was softened by her mere presence. Jellal had watched in almost abject horror as theyâd moved together, completely unaware the way each of their movements seemed to influence the other as if caught in each others gravities. Even worse still were the small touches and secret smiles as dinner had progressed, each lingering a little longer as time passed. Somehow Jellal had become the third wheel in his own home.
And somehow, he hadnât minded at all.
Jellal couldnât remember the last time Levy had smiled like that, if she ever had at all. It was almost as if she glowed as she spoke to Gajeel, unaware just how brightly her eyes shone while all else fell away. A small voice in the back of Jellalâs mind told him exactly what it was that he had a front row seat to.
Love.
If Levy hadnât looked so happy, he would have blanched at the thought, taking care to tear her away from Gajeel and the whole damn situation.
But as she snuck a small glance sideways, smiling around a timid bite of food with a flush coloring her cheeks, Jellal couldnât even bring himself to hate his former coworker.
âThat was delicious, Lev,â Gajeel said, rubbing his stomach languidly as he smiled at her, breaking Jellalâs concentration as he watched them carefully.
âIt certainly was, sis,â he agreed as he stood, eyes falling squarely on Gajeel. âSo delicious that I think you earned the evening off from dishes. Me and Gajeel will take care of this, wonât we?â
His final words came out pointed as he quirked his eyebrow. Agree or die, the look said. Nodding curtly, the dark haired man stood, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Levyâs hair.
âAre you sure?â She asked, her eyes bouncing back and forth between the two, trying to decipher the look that had passed between them. Worry colored her tone as she made to stand.
âOf course, Levy, I think we can handle some dishes,â Jellal said as he stacked their plates and made his way to the kitchen. He heard her soft mumbling before the door shut behind him, making him laugh quietly to himself.
Placing the dishes gently in the sink, he turned his back to the counter, leaning against it and crossing his arms over his chest as he waited for Gajeel to appear. After a moment, the hitman followed, the platter of ham clutched between his hands as his steely eyes narrowed at him. The door clicked softly behind him, signaling him to stop on the opposite end of the kitchen.
âIs this where you kill me, dispose of my body and tell Levy I ditched?â He said gruffly, glaring at Jellal and widening his stance as if prepared for a fight. In another world, hell even just a couple of hours earlier, he would have happily obliged. It had been years since heâd fought anyone, and though Jellal might be rusty, he was certain her could still kick the younger manâs ass.
At least, thatâs what he told himself. Instead, he shook his head.
âI love my little sister, Gajeel,â he said lowly, not moving from where he was leant against the counter. âSheâs why I left the Guild, and sorted my life out. Levy deserves the world.â
Gajeelâs mouth fell open as if to protest, causing Jellal to wave his hand to silence him.
âShe isnât a child anymore, and I donât need to protect her. And for some unimaginable reason, you make her happy.â His eyes flashed over his companion, offering a small peace offering of a smile. He watched as Gajeel did an impression of a fish out of water, mouth opening and closing wordlessly before he settled on a nod.
âThat being said, if you break her heart, my S&T Motiv K14 is in the attic.â Jellal flicked his gaze up towards the ceiling as if to reiterate how close Gajeel was to certain doom. âDo not think for a second that just because I have been out of the field for four years I wonât kill you.â
The threat earned him a good natured laugh as Gajeel finally stepped closer, putting the platter in the sink before turning and offering Jellal his hand.
âYou wonât need to worry about it, Jellal.â Sincerity rang in his words as the older man shook his hand.
âGood. Now go keep our girl company,â he said.
Watching the door shut behind Gajeel as he took his leave, quick to take up the offer before Jellal could change his mind. Soft laughter floated into the kitchen from the dining room as Levy and Gajeelâs voices melded together. Sighing lowly, he turned towards the sink, pushing his sleeves up and turning on the water.
Maybe Iâll teach Levy how to shoot, though.

The gang during movie nights
Leonardo
Easily impressed
Like, there is an arrow shooting off toward the camera and he's ducking
It's hilarious
He gets so invested, especially in shows, like I can't stress enough how attached to the characters he can be
Won't cry, but will be deeply hurt if anything bad happens
Doesn't handle r*pe scenes well at all (none of them really do, but he'sthe worst)
Doesn't understand why they need to be shown on screen when the implication of that act can be just as disturbing and powerful
Likes to know how good the actors were treated on set too
If he learns that they weren't treated well he's gonna shit on the director for a really long time
When no one can decide on a movie he's the one choosing
Will sometimes let you choose, but dont count on it very often
He loves thrillers and mysteries, trying to guess what will happen along the characters
Not as good at it as he thought he would be though
Donatello
Unless he's captivated by the movie, he's the worst person you could watch anything with
Talks constantly
Critiques any illogical thing he can see
Don't tell me about plot holes
Goes on and on about character development
Discussing a movie with him is fantastic, but watching it? No sir
Unless you're like that too
He has the best taste in movies tho
He loves indie movies the best
His favorite movies (as of late) is The Shape Of Water
(He just loves the fact that the two characters fell in love because of what they are instead of despite it)
(Also it's a monster lover movie and he secretly hopes he can find someone at some point)
Will put his legs on your lap but won't share the blanket
Will give you unlimited access to his stack of snacks tho
Raphael
Pretends to love horror movies because he's the Tough Guy but actually hates them
Either because they're not scary (and therefore cringy) or because they're too scary
And he doesn't like being vulnerable
Will watch any and all movies starring Vin Diesel
His favorite is Baby Sittor
Doesnt like the Fast and Furious movies as much as he makes it out, he just has a big crush on Diesel
Really likes animated movies
If they want to explore dark themes, they have to do so subtly instead of throwing blood and sex scenes in your face all the time
They have to be creative about everything and he likes that aspect
If you guys are watching an horror movie, he'll cling to you at every jumpscare and act as if he was just shifty
Will silently claim unbreake loyalty to you if you hold his hand during the scary parts
Will put you on a pedestal forever if you don't tell anyone about any of this
Michelangelo
Always in his phone
It's not because he's not paying attention, he just needs to do something at the same time to be able to pay attention better
ADHD amaright
Cries easily too
Not just from sadness, but from laughter too
Really likes comedies, but loves thrillers and drama even more
The shittier, the better
He just loves being fake interested in the characters life and criticizing every bad choice they make
"Don't go back with him Linda, he cheated on you!"
Ends up being real invested and cant take his eyes off of the screen (he gotta knows what happens next)
This is especially true with Christmas Hallmark movies
He knows exactly what will happen, the acting is bad and it's all too cliche
But he has to see it anyway
The ultimate snack maker, but won't share his
Will give you as many blankets and pillows as you need
Will also most likely fall asleep on you
Which is a huge problem when you need a bathroom break, because no one will help you move him without waking him up
April
She doesn't really have a favorite genre
But if there's murder in it, she's gonna live it
"I'm just saying, it would have been a lot better if he died after falling down the pit." "What did you expect from Dora the explorer?!"
Unironically loves really bad movies
Velocipastor, Vikingdom, Sharknado and the likes
They have this weird, we-got-drunk-and-made-a-whole-movie-before-the-hangover kind of energy that she loves
Don't let her choose the movie because she will choose this kind of trash film
If she manages to pull it off, you two will have the time of your life in from of this trash
Like constant laughter, trying to guess how far they'll take the absurdity etc
Just an honest good laugh
Casey
Adventure kinda guy
Like Indiana Jones, Jumanji, The Mummy, etc
He just loves the adventure and action ok
Especially if Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson is in it
He has a secret crush on him
(As secret as Raph's crush on Vin Diesel, so not so secret)
Also has a thing for romances
Really really likes them if they're somehow tragic
Like "two lovers getting separated during the war and finding each other again in the battlefield" kind of tragic
Doesn't like it if it ends on a bad and depressing note
Like it has to at least have a message of hope at the end
He's the one shushing everyone when it becomes too much
Also the one to refill snacks, and give you "secret" snacks if you help him
(It's your favorite candy)
Likes to act as if he was giving you drugs or soemthing when in reality it's like. Caramel

the wanderfell (working) plot post
I like to keep this au more open ended for people who feel like putting their own spin on it and then I have my own ideas for it LOL so this is my basic plot (as in this doesnât have to be canon itâs just what I think) Read more cause this is LONG
1. kiwi does not get the sword, they rage and demand to speak to the overseer of langtree to find out who got the sword, the overseer doesnt know, they give kiwi spirit language to ask the spirits, upon summoning the spirits through song theyâre like âweâll tell you information if you relay a message to our familyâ (instead of the world dying itâs information about how they miss them uguu) and then theyre like âwe dont actually know lol but thereâs an overseer in delphiâ they have to WALK to get there
2. delphi is still sad but they donât care, they meet miriam here who hears them ask about the overseer song and hears them speak spirit language and explains that she wants overseer power and they should team up, kiwiâs like âok sureâ upon summoning ashâs mom to ask her for the overseer song sheâs basically like sure ill tell you the song but only if you help my kid come out of their shell and theyre like HOW THE FUCK- before they hear what mannys trying to do and piece the parts together (also kiwi manages to just run from the trolls here)
3. after the wind queen is ALSO like âidk who has the sword lolâ miriam is like ok ive heard of a fortune teller on this island who might know something so they go to tatango w the STONER PIRATES....and ask calliope who is like oh youll meet the sword wielder if you kill the chaos queen so the two are like cool ok and they do the same shit to get the mermaids tear and go into the spirit world, miriam is with kiwi this time and they attack the queen only to be stopped by Audrey, who came when she felt like the overseer was in danger, they try to take her sword but sheâs strong and sends them out of the spirit world 3.5 this is where youâd play as audrey and instead of attacking shit you talk to the overseer and try to figure out who the fuck these two bozos are trying to kill overseers
4. kiwi is just enraged rather than sad in this act, annoyed they couldnt do anything against audrey even with miriam, mim is mostly annoyed but says they should just try to kill an overseer without the sword, the nexus point isnt blocked here or anything kiwi just wants to ruin christmas for fun, they go into the overseer castle and try to kill queen order and audrey comes back and they wound her really bad but get hurt too so they cant kill the overseer or take the sword yet
5. they arrive in between the 2 kingdoms in the middle of their war, they go to mohabumi first and happen to land the same night as some rulle warriors were going to murder hala, and stop that from happening through completely unintended shenanigans and are hailed as heroes, this is where kiwi learns their singing can enhance miriams magic and the queen willingly gives them her piece of the overseer song
in rulle they have to lay low, being hailed as heroes in chandeesh means they were enemies to rulle, but they run into the hero who was looking for them actually and she tries to convince them to stop because what theyâre trying to do will literally end the world, they donât believe her and she continues hanging around them trying to convince them, they also kind of use her as a cover so no one knows who they are. kiwi lies and says theyâll consider but want to speak to the king, once they get there with audreys good graces they basically reveal theyâre the chandeesh heroes and to give them his part of the song or theyâll KILL EM (they wouldnât actually), and then he does, audrey gets mad abt this obviously and kiwis like its not my fault they have two different song pieces, its almost like the kingdoms used to be united or something, whatever. This doesnt change anything but the king does overhear that and start to think about it
This where shit gets tough cause they get into the spirit world and, now knowing that kiwiâs singing enhances mimâs music actually manage to kill the sun AND moon overseers, miriam gets a power boost and uses it to hurt audrey real bad but it was too much for her and she kinda just collapses too so now kiwi is kinda just sitting here like uh- they try to take audreys sword while sheâs unconscious... but! itâs too heavy! their entire world view kinda crumples around them with this one simple realization but they push it away and are like nah its fine its fine maybe iâll steal the power of the next overseer... and ill be strong enough to lift it...
6. on mt ichor mim is still with you :] thereâs more people in the village and the monks know the overseer song, kiwi says theyâll go ahead (she cant fly up the mountain) sheâs still kinda overwhelmed with the power of the last two overseers so sheâs like ok fine you do it, (but really they just want to try n kill the overseer alone) but they get stopped at the peak by a very weak audrey who cant aim correctly and accidentally causes the cave in, the two talk and evil kiwi does have a moment where they consider maybe not doing this, and they promise not to end the world (OHOHOHO) if she gets them out of the cave, so she does but they obviously betray her and show up in the spirit world anyways, she follows them in and is like thereâs nothing you can do without your friend anyways, but they manage to like sing and manipulate whats around them to make her shoot at the overseer herself. (rip) kiwi steals the power for themself and then steals her sword :^) they go back down and reunite with miriam who is PISSED TF off that they took even one overseers power and leaves them stranded at mt. ichor village
they start to realize that maybe friendship IS the way but theyâd never say that, audrey obviously comes after them and theyâre still not as strong as her even with their new strength, and she tries to understand what they actually want and why theyâre doing this but theyâre too sad about miriam now, so sheâs like ok fine letâs go make up with your friendÂ
the two make it back to delphi and kiwi reunites w miriam who realized they kinda went overboard being mad at them and doesnt want to take over the world unless its Together :)! audreys like wait i thought this was going to be an important lesson friendship- and theyre like NOOOOPE <3 so basically it turns into a song and dance of audrey having to stop them from getting any of the remaining overseers, as well as finding a way to restore the lost ones while they still try to get the sword, though the experience left them kind of scarred and they donât actually end up trying very hard to kill anymoreÂ
#long post#wandersong#wanderfell#evil au#read more#text post#it's not completely final i basically just wrote down the ideas i've had in my head for a while lol

PART TWO!!
It wasnât until I finally redrew her after months of not drawing her that I realized I spelt her name wrong đ itâs not âAzureâ itâs âAzulaâ (I canât believe I forgot my own characters name)


Old and new deisgn comparison
Sheâs actually the cult leader for the church of Strade! I havenât come up with a name for it tbh. I imagine Strade at least showed up to SOMEONE (how else would he get a following) and that person went online searching for answer. Azula stumbled across their post and thus the two former a bond. Azula actually doesnât believe in ghost or demons or the supernatural, if anything itâs a laughing matter for her. Azula loves watching cult documentaries and observing the behaviors of cult leaders, so when she saw the opportunity to make a cult she seized it. Sheâs very much power hungry so she naturally killed the guy who ACTUALLY encountered Strade. The cult targets a lot of young college people and what not. Worse part is I havenât given this guy a name or a design either đ which I guess makes sense for Azula to erase any traces of his presence in the cult (he didnât even wanna make a religion out of what he saw)


Next up is Mikey! I imagine Dean/Jackal fought during the war in Afganistan and Mikey was his closest buddy. The design is pre enlisting cause they have you shave your hair at boot camp and all that. Heâs one of those guys who enjoys vintage records n dresses like heâs from the wrong decade. Heâs constantly referred to as a âhippieâ by Dean since Mikey has a âmake love not war attitude.â He HATES having to fight but frankly heâs broke with little qualifications for a job and the army pays well. He doesnât know why he trusts Dean so much, itâs kinda that âbetter to trust someone than no oneâ mentality. Two heads are better than one! Of course you know me WE DONT HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS HERE!! He gets his head blown off on tape and it gets sent to Deanâs base and of course he sees it. Trauma sets in and as a protective response Deanâs mind turns that trauma into a turn on.
Along with Mikey thereâs also Cheri. (âPronounced Cherry!â) (I know I need to redraw her I havenât drawn her in months)
She works at a diner Dean frequents and theyâre basically just buddies. Sheâs always there when Dean comes in and Dean is one of those guys who just talks to their waiter. She doesnât really care for Dean because she knows heâs a bit of a questionable cop, but as long as he leaves a good tip she wonât say anything. She has TERRIBLE customer service skills and is known to curse out customers if they curse at her first. Thereâs not much to say cause sheâs less of a plot point and more of just a character for another to interact with. On holidays when Dean comes in (heâs got no family to spend the holidays with lmao and if he did heâd still be working like he is when he comes in) she gives him a free pie. Their only semblance of a friendship is just calling each other names.
âMerry Christmas, you lonely bastard.â
âMerry Christmas, you cunt.â

I actually donât do much with Jerald. Heâs just meant to be a hindrance for Mason and his hunting. He was a big time reporter in New York, but being a reporter means some bad company. After narrowly avoiding a shooting, his boss suggested he move away for a bit until the tension dies down. He moved to Colorado (which where I believe Mason resides) and just kinda lives his life. He loves hiking and taking in nature, in fact he picked up photography! But during one of these photography sessions he starts noticing that the forest where Mason loved isnât completely alone. Heâs noticing bear traps, strange indents in trees left by bolts, and frankly his red flags are raised! Being the reporter he is, itâs his job to start investigating. Problem is the forest is HUGE and itâs easy to get lost so exploring it is rather a daunting task. Letâs just pray he gets to keep his nose with all that poking around heâs doing.
I have some characters who EXISTS but they either have no design or a name. One of these is Rhinoâs daughter, Iâve mentioned in fanfic and Iâm previous posts she exists. I mightâve given her a name in my Rhino fanfic on my AO3 but I DEFINITELY donât remember it. Another character I made is Keyboard. In a previous post I talked about a gore archive that exists in the BTD/TPOF universe and Keyboard is the owner of said archive! I had a design for Keyboard but they looked too much like Fairy from TINR so I scrapped it. Thereâs not much to say about them other theyâre a chill and laid back person who spends a lot of time online. They have a degree in computer science and when theyâre not working on the archive, theyâre doing coding. Theyre a huge Strade and Fox fan, but itâs definitely not Jen extreme fan.
Oml this took forver to write I hope you guys enjoy all my characteds eheubeiubeuibe
Your style of writing and vibe reminds me of cherrybakewell.ocs on tiktok! Oh and is there other ocs you have for tpof/btd? If so, which ones are your main ones?
Beuwwuhiwhuiwuihw thank you so much I appreciate the compliments <3
I have tons of little ocs, msotly theyâre for TPOF. Theyâre ocs but theyâre more like little side characters I use since we donât know a ton about the world within BTD/TPOF.
My biggest character would HAVE to be Salvatore. Heâs less oc and more of fanon deisgn. I was really nervous posting him but Iâm so happy heâs been well received. If you donât know, Salvatore is the name (albeit with the help of my friends) dubbed Derekâs dad. Of course I made more charactes but theyâre not huge plot characters.



Apart from the siblings (which I only have two designed) I drew Salâs family. His father was Matt and was originally married to a woman named Andrea who he had two kids with (Janet and Sebastian). After a miscarriage Andrew completely lost it and ended up having to get a lobotomy which destroyed Matt. His kids still needed a mother so he remarried Esther who gave birth to Sal. Sebastian and Janet hate their little brother, they think heâs so spoiled (which he is) and frankly annoying. Really itâs Esther and Mattâs fault. At this point Matt was an alcoholic and didnât pay much attention to his kids, and well Esther was a huge narcissist who loved starting drama and of course used Sal to help her.


The two Goffard siblings Iâve given names to and designs are Rochelle and Gwendolyn. The third and fourth in the line of siblings. Iâve already written their character descriptions and itâs probably somewhere under the #tpof oc tag. I do have more but they donât have designs or character descriptions yet (worse part is I named up the name list đ). Do note none of their ages are really set in stone. Theyâre kind of like place holder ages? I have a timeline I made and with some new knowledge I have to rework it. Plus figuring out the time from when Sal married, to conceived a kid(s), and then killed his wife is such a struggle. (WHY DID HE HAVE TO HAVE FIVE WIVES SND ELEVEN KIDS)
My second biggest character who I donât post on here but I drew a fair amount of id Jennifer (Jen).
QUICK AVERT YOUR EYES CHILDREN THERES NUDITY AND GORE AND TRYPOPHOBIA

I was going to post the last one for Halloween but as you can see I never finished it!
Anways Jen is like Foxâs ârivalâ in the live stream torture business. A really bad wannabe rival. Those ears and tail? Iâm not sure if you can tell by the manic orange hair dye but shes not a real beastkin. She just wears it to be more like fox. Sheâs a HUGE fan of him, and I mean HUGE. To the point itâs annoying. She does a lot more SH than Fox does since itâs just easier to hurt herself than kidnap victims like fox does. Sheâs based off that childhood experience (at least my childhood) of growing up on the internet due to emotional neglect from parents. Especially without internet restrictions. She stumbles across shock sites and gore content and it just becomes her things. Sheâs smelly, sheâs an incel, and I love her.

yk i just wanna share,,, I've been wanting to be a good writer just like you đŻ and any other authors there but like my head can't just form ideas the only ideas it's forming is the idea to sleep IT'S SO ?!*@?@ LIKE i wanna ask / im curious how writers like you think of prompts, the storyline and all and write it nicely ??? đ so yea i admire you !!!
:(( anon wth this is so sweet thank u so much :( u admire me?? bye i'm so flattered you even think of me like that đ it's an honour to receive this kind of ask so thank u sm for sending this through âčïžđ«¶ you're not alone,,, writing is hard and coming up w storylines can honestly be so ass đ i honestly dont really know if i'm all that qualified to give advice, but here are my thoughts!! :>>
in my experience, the best way to come up with a story idea is by literally just choosing one thing that you really want to write. it can literally be anything â maybe you really want to write a particular trope (enemies to lovers), a time period (something based on the 80s), a season (winter or summer), a workplace (the office), a character with a particular career (a magazine editor), or something really mf random (a character that goes shopping for christmas). just choose something to start with and flesh it out from there! most of the time, i choose my "one thing" by getting inspired by tv shows / movies / songs / other fanfics. for example, i might be watching a medical drama and think "damn i rlly wanna write a hospital au or nurse au or medical student au".
i think it becomes less overwhelming when you choose just one thing you want to do, because you can let your idea sprout from there. even if your final idea deviates far from your starting point, it's a lot less daunting starting from one idea than sitting there tapping your fingers while waiting for a story plot to randomly come up.
after you choose your one thing, maybe add in more details. if you've chosen a particular trope like enemies to lovers, think about why they're enemies and then go from there. was it a misunderstanding? where is the story set? how old are they? how do they fall in love? stuff like that! honestly sometimes i just put on main character music and visualise scenes that come to mind đ
sometimes, your "one thing" can literally just be a dialogue line. is there one line you really want to include in your story? maybe it's a nickname or a particular scene or ending or something like that. for example, your one thing might be that you don't want your characters to end up together, so you can backtrack the series of events that unfold to make that happen.
as for writing tips, oh god if i included everything then this post would literally be way too long :< my best tip for writing is to honestly focus on your characters. start small and choose two/three main characters and focus on them. don't worry about coming up with a unique plot or something full of twists or whatever else. my favourite stories in the world were written by authors who made me genuinely love their characters because they felt real. sure, a whacky plot might hook a reader in, but likeable characters that are worth rooting for are what going to make your readers stay.
ways to make your readers want to root for your characters is by giving your characters motivations and fears and all the other stuff that real humans have. for example, i'm not going to give a shit about story about a snail that roams the earth. but if you tell me that that snail is the only one left of its species and its one true goal in life is to find another snail to marry, i'm probably going to care a lot more about the story bc now i rlly wanna know if the snail gets what it wants :<
LMAO maybe that made no actual sense but my point is mostly to just flesh out your characters and give them feelings and emotions and show that in your writing. with the enemies to lovers example, i really love the e2l stories that genuinely make me feel like the two characters are better when they're together because they bring out the best in each other. maybe i'm rooting for them because one of them has a history of self-sabotage and i really want to see them be happy for once. stuff like that, yk?
sorry if this was quite tangential and the advice is a little vague. you can always ask clarifying questions!
here are some resources that might help!
job ideas
dialogue prompts: one, two, three, four (search "dialogue prompts" on tumblr)
more prompts!
also bff don't be too hard on yourself. writing is so subjective â people you think are good writers might be considered bad by someone else. just write about stories you like, whether it's a cute romcom plot or a horror fic or an angsty story about fucking snails, because that's all that really matters. have fun okie? :>>
lots of luv <333
#hope this helps :0#ask#@ : anon âĄïž#vis Ă vis ê° advice ê± â°#just scroll to the bottom tbh i just fucking ramble all the time lmfao#questions about

needing the au to drop wherein i can commit to writing a historical au,, because since i first watched the db cooper job my mind went straight to OT3! OT3! OT3! (unlike with the van gogh job, since i aint playing with that fucking lieutenant)
one day maybe one dayyyyy i will sit down and i will write the ot3 into that episode's story. so, it'll be the backgrounds for the characters in the flashback (so, stephanie ritter, steve reynolds, and reggie wilkins), but with the necessary personality adjustments (parker, eliot, and hardison respectively). basically, vintage ot3 with some hot as hell aesthetics and secrets and avoiding as much as possible producing copraganda.
so. my thoughts. what i see happening. and this got super long so im throwing this under a cut. and for ease i will call them by their modern day canon names except when making a point.
first, general thoughts about the characters.
and so: steve to eliot. nothing much here on the surface. eliot still volunteers, too much an indoctrinated white man to have been forcibly drafted. so its still one man gone to war. one man come back. eliot would had been noticed early in training for his ability to pick shit up, and they teased at maybe sending him to a special unit. maybe they do, or maybe they don't because they just need to funnel fuckers to the jungle. the vietnam invasion was a terrorist imperialist venture and there's no romanticizing from me about anything done being at all valorous or special or brother-in-arms'y. and eliot commits war crimes under the american stars and stripes instead of just to keep moreau's champaign running. but also maybe moreau is eliot's superior. he certainly would have been rewarded for this ruthlessness. (eliot of course strove to impress moreau because there aint an eliot spencer who wasn't that man's dog at some point, i!!!! dont make the rules). eliot's friend died and eliot's gone off to carry out his wishes and moreau lets him because he Knows eliot is gonna come back. whether its to come back to the same squad, or follow him into deeper spy shit for the military, or to fuck off and go private. then eliot meets parker.
now. stephanie to parker. beth plays normal so well im mad at her, but there's something edgy and strategic about stephanie that i think parker can grab onto. i feel that maybe she was kind of a thief still, but there's more realism to this world so archie wasnt a super secret spy with lasers to practice with, but just a guy with sticky fingers whos a little bored and wants a protege. parker is good really good at what she does, and not having to deal with lasers makes me easy. but she's into scams that are less grifts and more Catch Me If You Can slight of hands. she's always looking for easy money (she was into lifting cars at one point! literally she follows where the crime is). she's doing something in an airport and someone tries to recruit her as a flight attendant because she's got the Look. and yall, flight attendants? that shit was like being a model and an astronaut and a time traveler back then. and according to a teacher i had, who once worked as in the f.a. union, those ladies back in the day were rad and queer and free spirited and runnnnning shit. i think, yes, it's a Job which i think we might resist placing parker into. but! of the jobs, at the time, i really see her rocking it during the time period. (also come on, the opportunities to swindle distracted people of their shit would be endless. they would just think they dropped their stuff in the airport! not that it was stolen.)
finally, reggie to alec. i think hardison will be the hardest to translate. even tho i admittedly listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, i dont know much about fbi life and also definitely don't know about it historically. part of me desperately wants to put him somewhere else even if it does have to stay within the fbi. i might cheat and make him like a Q(uartermaster) to 007/00s like in james bond, and he's like UGH this is horrible god i hate working for the fbi but they will give me funding so...... anyway, here's this totally cool [radio term]. that said, if hardison is stuck in the fbi, why he ends up there is that he is a fucking savant when it comes to research and the man can put together a presentation like no one else. that white man gets all the credit for profiling but it was hardison who goddamn was the google of the microfilm days. reggie felt super square but that might be because he had to deal with mcsweeties db cooper shit day in and day out for years. hardison is more himself. and definitely still a nerd. alec would be into dime fantasy novels and comics and ham radios and oh god he also would be into star trek like the original star trek as it came out and he would be into the zines yes! yessss. omg. also he plays a mean arcade cabinet. but he's mostly well adjusted but lonely. his colleagues dont appreciate him because fbi esp during that time were fucking wilding out and racist as hell aaaaaand im sorry im srry im trying so hard to have fbi hardison make sense but also! acab. ANYWAY.
second, the relationship
i think it would be fun to play with what it means to have parker/eliot start off first and bring in hardison afterwards. (if white collar is your thing, it would be like this canon divergent ot3 fic wherein peter burke is the last to join in.) i feel they would be Super Intense esp since they are carrying this big ass secret. kind of broken and dysfunctional and there's the passion and the commitment, but i think there's also a tenderness that's super hard for them to achieve? and i think there's a way that hardison plays such an important part in who they are and how they are. like, sure i think parker/eliot would have joy but they won't have levity. they would have compassion but they won't have gentleness.
eliot meets hardison after being recruited by nate. i think they get close because while nate and eliot have an interesting and compelling mentorship/friendship, nate is still eliots superior; sometimes its nice to complain about your boss, as hardison will say to eliot to try to make friends. i think hardison and eliot would become legit friends and not just work buddies because they are just not cut out of the same cloth as the rest of their colleagues. they grab beers after work. after hard days, hardison cajoles eliot into going to the arcade. they are friends. real real truly deep best friends, in a way hardison didn't think he could have with a fed and eliot didnt think he would have after his friend died. but also? they are like "buds" who are buds who are desperately tryna to cross any lines because there's a.... tension? an UST between them they dont know what to do with.
parker meets eliot by way of a "lets have my friend for dinner, he's a blast." and immediately immediately hardison is like... wow this woman is beautiful but like, really attracted to her personality. and parker things hardison is kinda dorky but cute dorkie? anyway, they have a puppy love situation growing. and it keeps growing until bam. eliot and parker are like. are we into alec???? fuck we are aren't we.
i think stephanie and steve would never tell reggie (even if somehow they were to be a thing). but parker and eliot? hell yeah they tell hardison. eventually. after a while. sooner than maybe they should. the tension if they should say something is one of the things that build up as UST between them for so long; parker and eliot know they are carrying this huge thing. two huge things. eliot being db cooper and also their massive crush on him.
if i could control myself to stick to a pwp, it would be another christmas. maybe the christmas nine (more?) years down the road. the damn snow grounded hardison's flight back to his nana's, and parker and eliot hear this and invite him over. the egg nog gets flowing and parker eventually is like,, fuck this. and comes onto hardison. and hardison would be like wow wow what but... idk, free love and swinging were In The Thoughts And Minds Of The People. he still checks in with eliot who is like. her body, man; i aint gonna tell her what to do. and for a sec hardison is like, man is this a cuck situation? i guess i can be for it but also...... aint mad if i aint alone. and eliot is so grateful and idk. i just want them all to be happy and having fun and no one to be left out. and yeah i am kinda brushing over a lot of the racial politics which, in a more developed fic rather than a pwp, would definitely need to be brought in; but idk that needs to just be in the bedrock of whatever plot is going into this.
it takes a lot of maneuvering of their lives but they make it work and eventually hardison is a keeper of eliot's secret too.
(apart from the historical aspect, another reason i probably won't actually write this is because i know myself. i would want to do worldbuilding. i would follow eliot and alec to their jobs, but i wouldnt want to write outright copaganda. the grit/realism i would be comfortable with would take a level of research i dont think i can commit to. but if someone wants to take this up or if you figure out a way around this issue, pls do i wont be mad)
#eliot spencer#parker leverage#alec hardison#leverage#thiefsome#okay i srsly am not this active but this week got me wanting to talk and talk about these three beauties#the db cooper job

âWell thank you for dinner but we should probably be heading out.â Dean said towards the end of one of, if not the most, awkward dinner of his life.
âDad what about dessert?â
âClaire, we need to get going. Itâs a long drive back to Kansas.â Dean said, sighing internally because he knew getting Claire out the damn house was going to be hard.Â
âDean, don't be ridiculous. Youâve been driving for most of the day.â Cas said. âWe have the spare bedroom-â
âThatâs my room!â Gabriel interrupted.Â
âItâs not your room Gabriel. Itâs the guest room. You have your own house with your own bedroom.â Cas said, giving Gabriel the bitchiest look Dean had ever seen. That was saying a lot seeing as heâd grown up with Sam. âDean, why donât you and Claire stay here for the night? Claire can sleep in Jackâs room and you can sleep in the guest room.â Cas suggested. Claire and Jack grinned at each other and Dean just knew they'd stay up half the night whispering to each other. Or plotting. Most likely plotting. Â
No. Nope, Absolutely not going to happen in a million goddamn years.Â
âCas, we can just grab a motel if I get tired.âÂ
âDad, Iâm not staying in a motel if we can stay here.â Claire said stubbornly. âPlus Jack and I were already planning on making waffles in the morning!â Oh, Jesus Christ. These kids were going to be the death of Dean. And damn if both Claire and Jack werenât giving him the puppy dog eyes.Â
 âFine. Fine. But weâre heading out in the morning Claire, I mean it.â
âAfter waffles.â Claire and Jack said in unison. When the hell did those two learn how to do that?
âExcellent, now thatâs all sorted Iâm going to head home as Winchesterâs stolen my room. All the wine is gone anyways.â Gabriel asked, slapping his hand on his thighs as he got out of his seat
âSee you in the morning Uncle Gabriel.â Claire said with a grin as Gabriel patted her on the head, ruffled Jackâs hair and gave both Dean and Cas pointed looks. Â
âGood night Gabriel.â Cas said, giving his brother a stern look Dean didnât understand.Â
âSame to you bro. Good to see you Winchester, try not to keep this madam a stranger.â Gabriel said, nodding towards Claire.
âIâll try.â Dean said, mainly to placate Gabriel. Gabriel gave them all a salute before heading out. âNice to see Gabriel hasnât changed at all.â Dean said once Gabriel had left.Â
âNo, heâs still the same annoying ass heâs always been.â Cas said.Â
âI like him! Heâs invited us to Thanksgiving this year.â Claire said. Yeah thatâs not happening. Dean thought.Â
âIâm going to teach Claire my secret yam recipe.â Jack said cheerfully.Â
âAh yes, Jack Novakâs secret yam recipe. Involving two whole bags of miniature marshmallows and a ruined casserole dish.â Cas said, shaking his head but giving Jack a fond look.Â
âSounds about as successful as when Claire tried to make apple pie on for Fatherâs Day.â
âWhat did you set on fire that time?â Jack asked Claire. Claire could stick her tongue out all she wanted but there were still scorch marks in their kitchen.Â
âYes well, Jack why donât you and Claire clear up while Dean and I have a quick chat. After that, you can show Claire where sheâs sleeping for the night. You two can watch a movie in your room.â
âCool, howâd you feel about The Avengers?â
âBlack Widow is a badass.â Claire said. âRock, paper, scissors for who washes and who dries?â she then asked.Â
âOh Jesus.â Dean muttered as Cas motioned for him to follow him. Instead of going into the warm looking living room, Cas took Dean upstairs and into a spacious guest room. The walls were painted a deep, honey colour that matched the wooden furniture perfectly. Unlike Deanâs guest room, which was really a junk room, it was immaculately clean. Dean was about to make a quip about the cleanliness of the room before he stopped. In the corner of the room was the very turntable he had brought Cas for the first Christmas they had been together. Without saying a word, Dean walked over and glanced at the records neatly stored in their storage box. Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac and even the rare Otis Reading record that Dean had found at a vinyl fair. Cas had kept all of them. For a fleeting moment, Dean wondered if the note heâd hidden in the Bob Dylan record was still there. A hastily scribbled note saying I wasn't born to lose you. Oh, the irony.Â
-
Cas watched with cautious eyes as Dean ran a hand over the box of records. Each one Dean had carefully picked out for Cas in another life. He had battled over getting rid of them for years. Gabriel had always said it was strange to keep hold of them but Cas could have never parted with them. When Jack was a toddler Cas had played all of them for him, smiling to himself at how Knocking On Heavenâs Door would always send Jack to sleep.Â
âI think we need to have a talk.â Cas said, trying to ease the tension that had enveloped the room.Â
âUm yeah.â Dean said with a cough as he straightened up, looking away from the records. âCause apparently Iâm cancelling my Thanksgiving plans with Sam to spend the day with my ex-brother-in-law, eating my body weight in mini marshmallows.â Dean said. âCas...what are we going to do about this?â
âAnd by this you meanâŠâ
âThe kids. Thereâs no way Claireâs going to just go back to how it was before. Plus, Jack is an awesome kid. Thereâs no way I want to go back to how it was before. I mean, maybe Jack could stay with me during the summer?â
âAnd what? I get Claire during Easter? Christmas?â Cas asked, laughing at the absurdity of the situation. âWe came up with this arrangement so the kids could live a normal life. Whatâs going to happen next, I have them for one year and you have them for the other? That wonât work.â
âNo shit Cas but...did you see those two at dinner? Theyâve only known each other for a few weeks but itâs clear they adore each other. Claireâs gonna be an even bigger pain in my ass after this. I donât want to break my...our daughterâs heart when we separate them again and Iâm sure you dont want that for Jack.â
âOf course I donât! What do you honestly suggest then because not only did we come to this agreement to have the kids lead normal lives but it was also so we didnât have to see each other.â Cas said because even though neither of them would say it, they both knew that seeing each other again would end in a huge fight and a lot of sex.Â
"Then why did you ask me to stay?" Dean asked. Good question Dean, very good question.Â
"Because it's late and you can't drive throughout the night when you've been driving all day." Cas said. Liar a small voice inside Cas said. As much as he annoys you, you still love him.Â
"Oh." Dean said in a small voice.Â
"Why? What do you expect me to say?"
"Nothing...forget it." Dean said. âYou know, now that weâre here and Iâll probably never be here again. About that day you packed, why'd you do it? Why did you just hop on a train and leave?â
âDean.â Cas groaned. âWe were so young. We both had tempers, we said stupid things so I packed. Got on the train and you didn't come after me.â
âI wanted to but I didnât think youâd want me to follow.â Dean said in a small voice. âDammit Cas, you just had to send Jack to the exact same camp as Claire didnât you? â
âWe havenât spoken in twelve years, how on earth was I supposed to know where you were sending Claire for the summer? It might shock you to hear this but I canât read your damn mind Dean. I didnât send Jack there because a little voice in my head said âOh Dean is sending Claire to this camp! Send Jack so he can meet the twin sister he never knew he had.ââ Cas said. "You are so infuriating, you know that right?â
"I'm infuriating?â Dean asked, looking highly offended. âWhat about the time you recorded over my Star Trek episode with a documentary on the life of Tomas Jefferson?"
"You have the whole series on DVD! Why did you need to record it off the SyFy channel?"
"You know why! It was the Trouble With Tribbles episode and that was on the DVD that Sam scratched when I let him borrow it!" Dean shot back.Â
"Well, you set fire to the patio furniture! Don't even say you didn't because Eileen told me it was you and Sam the next morning." Cas said.
"You scratched the Impala!"
"That wasn't me, it was Gabriel. I lied and said it was me because he was already on his last warning from when he spilt red wine on the couch."Â
"Yeah well, you did break my Captain Kirk mug."Â
"No Dean, the asinine way you stacked kitchen items broke your Captain Kirk mug."Â
"Yeah well, you...youâŠ" Dean said and something inside Cas just broke. This man, this irritating and stubborn man had been the love of his life, his husband and the man he wanted to spend this rest of his life with. Twelve years hadnât changed a damn thing.Â
"Oh for god sake Dean, shut up." Cas said and even though he knew this was the worst plan in the world, even worse than his non-identical twins switching places, Cas pulled Dean in close, their lips crashing against one another. Oh god, it was like going home after a long trip. Cas knew this, knew it better than breathing. Cas still loved Dean more than anyone else in the history of the universe.Â
"Cas this is the dumbest-" Dean tried to say between kisses. Frantic kisses that set Casâ skin ablaze.
"Just shut up and take off your pants." Cas said before his brain could come up with a million reasons why this was a stupid idea.Â
âWhat?â
âDean, shut up and take off your pants.â Cas said before crashing their lips together again in a kiss that was more like a battle for dominance than anything else.Â
âI canât take off my pants if you keep kissing me.â Dean said as he pulled away and Cas just groaned because this man drove him so insane but all Cas wanted to do was kiss every inch of his body. "This is the worst idea ever."
"Worse than when you let Jo pierce your lip?" Cas asked. He could still the slight scar on Deanâs bottom lip.Â
"That was not as bad as the time you wanted to make your own honey."Â
"One bee flew in the house Dean, one."
"Bees don't belong in a house Cas, they belong in a beehive."
"Are you really trying to start an argument when we're about to have sex?" Cas asked. Thankfully Dean shook his head. "Good, now take off your clothes and get on the bed."
-
With The Avengers to mask the sound, Claire and Jack sat in Jackâs room as they called their Uncle Sam. After a few rings, he accepted the video call. Grinning at the pair of them with a warm smile.
"Hey kids...man it's weird seeing you two together. How's it going?" Sam asked.Â
"Awesome. We made chilli and got them to sit in the same room." Claire said.Â
Well, that's something Eileen signed. So what's the plan?Â
Plan?
Yeah, the plan. You two are definitely up to something because Claire's involved.Â
Why do you always think I'm up to something? Claire asked.Â
Intuition
"Past experience." Sam intoned. "Whereâre your dads now?â
âGuest room we think, we heard shouting in there about ten minutes ago.âJack said. âSomething about tribbles.â
âIs he still on about that?â Sam groaned. Just out of view on the screen, Eileen signed something to Sam. He groaned and signed back.Â
âHey! Winchester family rule, no covert signing.â Claire said. Sam looked back at her with a classic Uncle Sam Bitchy Face. âWhat did you say?â
âUgh.â Sam said. âFine, your aunt said that if theyâre fighting thereâs good chance theyâll end up having sex.â
âEw! Gross!â Jack and Claire said at the same time. âThose are our dads.â Claire said, wrinkling her nose.Â
âYeah? And how do you think you two were made?â
âWith a turkey baster and a very patient surrogate.â Claire shot back. âWait...if they do...you know...do gross stuff, does that mean theyâll get back together?â
Going from past experience, no. Theyâll just fight and make noises that, according to your uncle, only dogs can hear.
âThatâs really gross Aunt Eileen.â Jack said. âAs far as a plan goes, we donât really have one. Come on, weâre twelve. We need help and Uncle Gabriel has gone home.â
âGood, his plan would have been awful.â Sam said. âLook kids, I know damn well that Dean still loves Cas and judging from what youâve told us, Cas probably still loves Dean. Just let them fight it out, turn whatever movie youâre watching way up and see how things are in the morning. I know these two idiots pretty well, you canât force them into anything.â
âWe canât play the long game here Uncle Sam. Dadâs making us leave in the morning.â
âAfter waffles.â
âYeah, after waffles Iâll be shoved in the car and grounded until graduate.â Claire said. The four of them sat in silence for a moment before Eileenâs face lit up.Â
Ok I have a plan but if it backfires then you do not get it from me. Claire, do you remember how to disable the battery on the Impala?Â
âYeah, I remember...oh...no car means not having to leave.â Claire said with a grin. âAunt Eileen, you are a genius and never let anyone tell you otherwise.â
âI want no part in this part of the plan.â Sam said hastily.Â
âToo late Uncle Sam, welcome to Team Parent Trap.â Jack said happily.  Â

under the mistletoe with you (todoroki, bakugou, midoriya, kaminari, kirishima, shinsou, dabi)
A/N: just some christmas headcanons with the best boys :) i hope you like it!!! also, merry christmas eve haha!!
warnings: language, mentions of the greased weasel tango
summary: you do whatever you can to get under the mistletoe with the above mentioned characters, even if it means strategically placing it all over the place just to make it happen
shouto todoroki

he was honestly completely oblivious as to what you were trying to do
such a sweet, innocent boy
he was very confused by your odd requests to go to this place instead of that one (even when they led to the same destination???)
but he followed anyway to appease you
which meant that getting him under the mistletoe was very simple
but getting him to understand was a different story
he wasnt very exposed to love between two people (*cough* endeavor you piece of shit *cough*)
so he wasnt very... knowledged in the art of christmas traditions, to say the least
the two of you walked under the mistletoe
you literally stop abruptly and turn around to face him
todoroki: ????????? what???????
you grin at him with that all too familiar glint in your eyes before you point upwards
he looks up and raises his eyebrow
like um... what do you want
but when you wrap your arms around his neck and get on your tippy toes
he starts to realise what you want
he gives you that FUCKING ADORABLE LITTLE SMILE OF HIS UGH
and you smile right back before you lean in and kiss him
he canât help but smile against your lips because he loves you and its beautiful :((
his hands would be on your hips
everything feels perfect because you are with him
katsuki bakugou

(this is not mine but i wish i was this talented honestly)
he doesnt listen to a word you say
literally he has zero obedience of any kind
but mostly, itâs because he knows exactly what youre up to
all those mischievous grins? all those bribes to go into the kitchen? he doesnt buy it for one second
nice try bucko, but hes not giving you what you want
even tho lowkey??? he wants it too
but he wouldnt admit that
because hes a stubborn bitch
but damn, you do look adorable in your christmas pajamas
honestly, for him itâs become a test of self-restraint
but he seemed to have underestimated how smart you really are
you saw him going through the hallway back to the living room and you bolted
you had, unbeknownst to him, placed multiple mistletoe around the house
youâd caught him by surprised so he had stopped in his tracks when he saw you rush past him
you realise you may have ran too fast, because hes not under the mistletoe; you are
he chuckles before walking to you, grabbing your hips, and pulling you to him
he finally gave in and kissed you
you ran your fingers through his hair while he deepend the kiss
all in all, it got pretty heated
but even though hes kinda mean to you
and a little rough when it comes to affection (not that we mind right?)
youre his princess đ„ș
hes even sure to tell you that because um??? you deserve the WORLD
yeah he loves you
a lot
izuku midoriya

THIS BOY
hes so WHOLESOME
he wants to make you the happiest person in the WORLD
literally ask him to do anything and he will
hes so whipped for you its not even funny
âizuku? baby, come here!â
heâs up in seconds, no joke
heâs right by your side, mostly because he thought you were hurt
but then he sees your gorgeous smile and hes confused
of course, him being the subby baby that he is, does not initiate kisses normally (emphasis on normally)
so without hesitation, you grab his shirt and smash your lips against his
again, hes confused as HELL??? but hes not complaining
âwhat was that for, y/n?â
you give him the most innocent look and he doesnt believe it for a MINUTE
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE SPAWN OF SATAN
but thatâs beside the point
you smile and point up to the mistletoe above your heads
he smiles and kisses you one more time (initiation? only sometimes)
âyouâre so cute.â
and of course, because you have no self control, you kiss him O N E more time
because hes just too cute
and honestly theres no one youâd rather spend your christmas with
denki kaminari

okay, PLOT TWIST
hes the one trying to kiss YOU
but without his knowledge, you too are trying to kiss him
but you both have two different plans LMAO
âdenki baby, come outside with me!â
âokay but consider this: what if you came to the bedroom with me?â
âbut... outside?â
âbut i wanna show you something!â
literally itâs just you two arguing about who should go where with the other
and both of you happen to be too dense to realise the intentions of the other
but you being the evil son of a bitch you are, you do whatever to get your way
even if that means... bribing denki đ
âdenki iâll leave your ass, come with me.â
the romance is alive
but he follows you because??? are you joking or not??? he cant FUCKING TELL
you stop in the doorway and look at him
then it hits him
he beams at you and gives you the sweetest kiss
his kisses taste like sunshine
you melt immediately, a tingling feeling spreading from your toes to your fingers
you love this crackhead so much
but youre also a crackhead
like you both radiate MASSIVE crackhead energy
but theres nothing quite like being mentally unstable with the person you love
eijirou kirishima

hes kind of like midoriya?
wants to make you the happiest
but like hes not quite as subby
more of a switch honestly but thats not important
basically, you tell him to come with you
he does it
no questions asked
you grin and jump up to wrap your legs around his waist
he reacts immediately, placing his hands under your thighs to hold you up
you tangle your fingers in his hair, tugging gently as you kiss him
bro this boy has it BAD for you
how did he get so lucky???
youre so perfect???
marry him rn tbh
hitoshi shinsou

this sarcastic son of a bitch can take me
but anyway, heâs a great time really
heâs like the perfect mixture of good, affectionate boyfriend and funny, sarcastic, playful boyfriend
but hes not whipped
you tell him to do something?
âyeah? or what, kitten?â
honestly you want to kill him
but restraint and patience is the key to a healthy and good life
in other words, you dont really have a healthy and good life
just kidding
sort of
but anyway
âhitoshi, darling, you know i love you, right?
âwhat the fuck do you want?â
his suspicions are REAL
there is NO TRUST WHEN IT COMES TO YOU
you fucking psycho
no but anyway, getting him under the mistletoe is unsuccessful
but you do get kisses from him
he doesnt even need to use his quirk to persuade you into sitting on his lap
youre there in a heartbeat
he peppers your neck and jaw with kisses before he gets to your lips
and with each kiss, you feel your skin tingle and your cheeks burn
he had your whole heart
this smug bitch knew it too
and he used that fact to his advantage, but heâd be lying if he said you didnt have his heart too
hes a little bitch but you love him
dabi
HE IS THE BIGGEST BITCH OUT THERE
but good GOD is he hot
anyway
yeah he goes under the mistletoe with you pretty willingly
probably because he thinks hes gonna get some
but???
today is the day of JESUS
and he needs to read a fucking bible first of all
he still genuinely loves you though
âdabi, come under the mistletoe with me!â
âwhy? canât you just come here and kiss me? my lap is much more comfortable, if you really think about it.â
you roll your eyes at that
âbut itâs tradition! come on babe, please?â
he sighed
really loudly
as if you asked him to do the most BORING thing in the world
but he got up and came over to you
he pushed you up against the doorframe and kissed you without any warning
your hands rested on his chest as you kissed back, trying to put more force in
he had no problem overpowering you though
heâs a fucking DOM and theres no argument in that
massive dick energy đ
what was supposed to be a slow and sweet kiss QUICKLY got heated and sloppy
he moved from your lips to your jaw and neck
you were a panting mess
and then he hit that s p e c i a l spot on your neck
and man it was over
you were not going to get out of this one
you were going to have a l o n g night
not that that was much of a problem
you loved him just as much as he loved you
spending the night committing the sinful dance of frickle frackle with him would be magical
lmfao jk this is a strictly christian blog, thereâll be no frick or frack on this HOLY DAY OF GOD

Okay, so my ask was about fanfics where either John or Sherlock hallucinates and sees the other one after him (allegedly?) dying. As in, actually hallucinates, not mistakes a real one for a hallucination. Have you encountered anything like that?
Anonymous said to inevitably-johnlocked: hi! i hope you're doing fine! i feel really bad for asking, but i really suck at searching, and as i see everyone asking you, i wanted to see if you could help me, if you dont want to, its fine, i feel like im taking adventage of you... im searching for fics post TRF in which John hallucinates with Sherlock, or fics in which Sherlock comes back but John cannot believe it because he hallucinated with him ... im sorry again for bothering you! hope you have a nice day
Hi Lovelies!!
Ahhh, I donât have a LOT that have this premise, so Iâm just going to give you all of the fics I have tagged with hallucinations :) I do suggest âThe Quiet Manâ, which has this as the primary plot point (down below) and itâs a long one so I think that will best suit you requests, but DO check out all of the others on this list! <3
And as always, Lovelies, if you have something more to what my Nonnies are looking for, please suggest them!

Instead of Sherlock disappearing, Greg is faced with an unexpected reaction to a hospitalized Sherlock and winds up figuring out something that he really would have rather not known.
Bitter Nights Turned Sweet by Hyliare (T, 4,076 w., 1 Ch. || Pre-Slash, Insomnia/Hallucinations, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, POV Present Tense John Watson, Cuddling/Snuggling) â Sherlock has always had trouble sleeping; he hasn't always had someone in his life willing to help.

I Will Take Care Of You by SailorChibi (T, 16,664 w., 15 Ch. || Hurt/Comfort, Sick Sherlock, BAMF John, BAMF Lestrade, Reunion Fic) â Two years after Sherlock's death, John comes to find him on the sofa.

Heâs almost accepted that he will never see London (John) againâalmost. But then there are nights like tonight, where he is weak, and all he can think of is the warmth of the flat they once shared, the crackle of the fire in the hearth, the teasing smile playing at the corner of Johnâs lips, the boxes of half-eaten Chinese takeaway balanced precariously in their laps. He aches at the memory of it, at the realisation that it is something he may never experience again.
Impossible to Feign by achray (M, 49,204 w., 12 Ch. || TRF Rewrite / Reverse Reichenbach, Suicidal Ideations / Discussions, Drug Use/Abuse, Mutual Pining, Friends With Benefits, John Accepts his Sexuality, Anxious Sherlock, Meddling Mycroft, Depression, Hallucinations, Secret Agent John, BAMF John, Reunion, Make-Up Sex, Ambiguous Ending) â Sherlock leant forward, his long fingers curving round to grip Johnâs.âI wonât let him win,â he said, eyes hard. âI will do whatever it takes to get you out.â

The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in Johnâs eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril. They were both gasping for air, Johnâs eyes locked on Sherlockâs. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear. Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. âJohnââSpell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
