It was ten years ago now.

A relationship I had nurtured for my entire life up to that point fell to pieces. I lost a huge, defining part of my identity. I lost what I thought was the defining part of my identity.

I kept going. It was hard. It hurt. It was terrifying. But I did.

And you know what happened? I met one of the best friends I've ever had. Someone who taught me that I was allowed to love myself, that some relationships really were bolstering and not draining. That living with someone else can be fun, and enriching, and not ... exhausting.

I never would have met @thejanestofdoes if I hadn't kept moving.

And now? The past few years have been hard. I've lost so many people. My family is fractured. Fate has not been kind to the people who raised me.

We kept going. It was hard. It hurt. It was terrifying. But we did.

And you know what happened? I started dating the woman of my dreams. I'm a different person than I was, every day that I share with the people who chose me.

I never would have found @kintatsujo if I hadn't kept moving.

This isn't a flex. I'm not bragging.

I'm saying: it's hard. It's scary. It sucks. But keep moving. Keep going. There's something in the future for you, something waiting for you. There are people with a hole in their lives where you fit.

You can find it. You can find your space.

You can find your people.

I did.

“Mokuba, what do you have???!”

[kaibacorpintern]

Mokuba + wisdom teeth (for prompt)

i thought I was gonna go light comedy but i’m still thinking about some of those manga panels from last night

***

Mokuba rolled his eyes, for the third time. Seto had asked him the day they scheduled the surgery. Then yesterday night, in the office. And now, on the morning of, with early silver light spilling across the breakfast table, Seto’s coffee, his bowl of steel-cut oats. Seto had taken a sip, set it down, and asked for the third time. 

“No. I’m eighteen. I’m an adult. I don’t need you in the room to fucking hold my hand or whatever,” Mokuba said, scowling down at his phone. 

“Mokuba,” Seto said quietly. 

“Like, what’s the big deal? Why are you freaking out? You didn’t want me in there. You just got totally stoned and rambled about Star Wars for an hour - ”

“Mokuba, listen.”

“- but you were completely fine. There’s no risk here. At one point you really just need to stop hovering ov - ”

“Mokuba,” Seto said, punctuating with a metallic ding! on the side of his bowl. “Look at me.”

With a twitch of resentment, Mokuba looked up, only to find his brother sitting back, holding his breakfast spoon over his left eye, hiding it from sight. The right was fixed on him, honed to a sharp blue gleam. 

“Yeah, I’ve seen The Matrix,” Mokuba said. 

Seto didn’t reply, his humorless gaze still locked on Mokuba, with enough force he felt pushed back into the wall behind. Without looking away - not finding the nerve - Mokuba slowly blacked his phone and set it on the table, face-down.

“Yes, I was high. Chipmunk cheeks. Very funny,” Seto said. “But I didn’t tell you what it feels like when they put you under.”

He twitched the spoon. Morning light flashed off the curve, slicing through the air like a silent, brilliant knife, an effortless severing - 

An echo scuttled through Mokuba, cold, crawling. With a tight, hard yank of his head, he tore free of that unfeeling eye. 

Seto set the spoon down, quiet, waiting until Mokuba had exhaled, dragging himself out of the unpleasant tar pit of memory, past what was pitch-black and intact. Thinking, maybe, after all, he did want to hold his fucking hand.

“I’ll ask you again: Do you want me in the room or not?”

[stimmyvillain]

You're making me want to watch Darkwing Duck. I already want to watch Ducktales now I have to add more to this list lol

bro do it fuckin do it. I am so mad at myself for never watching this when I was younger because I would have loved it and it is so funny for no fuckin reason

you also get to support my mans in his show :))

[theabcsofjustice]

Lol, probably a combination of both. ^^;; That phone is legitimately big and clunky though.

[azure-stars]

Sorry we can't be friends anymore, you wear only red lipstick and that's too problematic :/

i knew it i knew being too hot and sexy and red lipstick being a part of my social brand was gonna bite me in the ass someday how could i have let this happen

[trickstermelon]

Given I don't know shit about One Piece here's YGO headcanons; Seto had to get braces while still living under Gozaburo and would purposely get shit stuck in them to piss everyone off. Later on in life, Mokuba bought a fuckton of those nails you kinda cement onto your fingers but instead put them all over their body and burst into their brother's office at 2am screaming "I AM THE GOD OF NAILS" making Seto scream and spill his coffee on himself. Mokuba did not like having Seto rip off the nails.

M O K U B A YOU BB DUMMY THATS GONNA HURT!!!!! getting them off is his punishment

I am victorious.

I haven't been talking much about any specific projects this year; I've just been posting my chapters as they come up.

But in between my various fanfiction projects, I've been maintaining a pretty good NaNoWriMo streak. This year, so far, I have participated in both Camp NaNoWriMo events.

In April, I worked on a mass crossover fantasy story, which I call Carve My Path in Chaos. It's basically a rebirth of a story I first came up with as a kid, way back before I had regular internet access, crossing the classic JRPG Chrono Trigger with Blizzard's Diablo franchise.

This month, July, I worked on something a lot more personal, which I call Notes for a Love Story.

It's a personal project in the sense that I'm literally using myself, and my personal history, as a basis for the work. Given just how personal it is, I have no intention of posting it in its current form. That said, I may be posting it in some other form, more heavily fictionalized, at a later date.

Special thanks to my partner @thejanestofdoes and my girlfriend @kintatsujo for their steadfast support as I worked on this project. It was hard, but I think it was important, work.

I love you both.

And to any writer following me who's been struggling: hang in there. It took me ten years to figure my shit out enough to write regularly again, after university.

You can do it too.

I have every faith in you.

I would love the backstory behind RioluHQ.com

there's a bunch of websites that offer generated/hacked pokemon and if you sit and wondertrade a bunch a good 70% of what comes back are these obviously hacked shiny pokemon holding rare items, with their nicknames set to whatever website they came from. I guess it's an advertising tactic for their services or whatever. That's the entire story of RioluHq dot com the Scizor. His IVs are likely all 6s (can't check for sure but did some maths) except for a Health stat that is higher than it possibly could have been. He is so fucking hacked but unfortunately for me in the 10 seconds it took for him to evolve in front of my eyes I got attached and now he's a full member of the team. Fortunately for me I do not do anything at all online so he is not really a major risk re; cheating or whatever

Hehehe

thejanestofdoes replied to your post “Heya I looked through some of the other asks and noticed there was an...”

Wait, does the asker mean, like, if KARMA set in? Like each 'hit' is 1 damage, and KARMA does continuous damage, like poison. Cause maybe she could have been hurt more, but Sans is very good at controlling his magic.

Eh, maybe, but I headcanon that the draining effect of KR doesn’t kick in unless the target has a LV. higher than one--so, despite her violent tendencies, Undyne--who gives no indication of ever killing anyone (it’s been stated all the humans made it to Asgore, and Undyne definitely would never kill a monster)--wouldn’t receive the effect at all.

I think the asker wanted to know what it’d be like if Sans fought Undyne the way he fights you in a no mercy run--but I headcanon that’s kind of just how he fights anyway, not to mention he has 0 reason to fight like that in all but the worst possible scenario.

BORTH!!!

Thank!!!!! <333

[mypokepal]

Too many of the new Pokemon look more like Yokai from Yokai Watch than Pokemon, my heart hurts. I remember all gens from 3 to now not dealing with so much controversy. Like, I still really want to get Shield but also it's weird that GF has kept nearly everything from us. Plus those leaks are just that, leaks! I want to know what is real and what isn't aaahhh

i know i know and at the end of the day i love pokemon with all my heart and i will….love…the..,m..al..,,,l…but i wish the gimmicks would stop?? like dynamax and etc could’ve been megas. AND i mean every region has weird ass pokemon like 

GF has learned not to release evolution for starters because of incineroar.

thejanestofdoes replied to your post: Bigender/genderfluid Seto Kaiba for the win

All three Kaibas are trans and that’s canon, Miku even confirmed it
