You decided to see the King.
[ACT 6 SPOILERS!!!! WATCH OUT!!!!!!!]
You don’t know why. Maybe you’re…curious! About what he looks like! Yeah. That’s it. You wanna know the face that almost caused Vaugarde’s demise. Why?
…
You don’t know. That’s ok, though! You don’t have to!
As walk towards the hall he’s (supposedly) frozen in, a chill runs through you. Huh. Weird. Well, it probably does tend to get cold up here. It leads to an outside area!
You keep going.
You’re here now. No one else is here. The King’s imposing figure looms over you. He’s…much shorter now, but it’s still an unsettling sight. Frozen, shades inverted, just like you were not long ago.
Something tugs at your mind. You feel…odd, like there’s something missing..?
Hm. Probably nothing!
Your gaze moves up to his hair; once a striking darkless shade, now completely lightless. It perfectly obscures his face, almost like it was cut that way (well, not cut, more…grown..?)
…
…
Hmm.
You reach a hand up and brush it. It moves. Not like normal hair, but you can shift it. Underneath, you see a sliver of a face. Some of his cheek.
The tug persists.
No going back now. You move more. You see a nose, eyes, cheekbones, a mouth, a-
You…stop. It’s all visible now. His face…you’re probably the first one to ever see it.
You can’t stop staring. You try, though your eyes stick like glue, firmly in place. The tug has grown into a throbbing pain.
You’re…frozen, almost as he is.
You…know that nose. You know those eyes. You know that shape you know that mouth you know those ears you know that light stubble on his chin. You know them all.
They all.
Look.
Exactly.
Like.
Yours.

gosh i am really loving the return to blanket weather i will tell you. when it's too hot not only is there the heat but there is the total dysregulation that comes from not being underneath another object for a significant portion of the day. my friends the weighted blanket and the regular blanket who tell me that i exist in space <3

if you think that fluff cannot make you want to chew glass the same way angst can, you have not seen/read good fluff

I want to scream just saw your response and it was so cutee 😭😭😭 him lulling both of us to sleep is so cute😭😭 I don’t want to send him back to the see I know that I usually write fluff ask for this au but what if the reader has to move somewhere WITH NO SEA like Sweden bc if their work 😭😭😭 they would never be able to see each other and I am extra sad for the reader bc nobody would be as good as Suguru he would ruin their love life forever 🌙
HEHE I’M SO GLAD U THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE <33 i think mer!sugu would sing u to sleep all the time!! it’s his love language …….
but 😭😭 my sweet 🌙 anon …. how could u do this to me…… reader moving from mer!sugu’s beach would be sooo heartbreaking :((( if they moved anywhere he could follow i feel like he would, but if it was somewhere too dry for mer!sugu to live at i’d be so sad :’3 …. sigh. for my own mental health i’m just not gonna think abt that LMAO but it’s a very tasty angst scenario……. AND YES SUGU RLLY WOULD RUIN THEIR LOVE LIFE silly hot fish man is the new standard…. no other person could make them as happy 😔😔😔
in return for the treat i’ll offer u an angst thought of my own …. >:3 ok so. i imagine that merfolk age differently than humans right…. as for mer!sugu i feel like he’s around the same age as reader (probably a lil older mentally but physically the same)…….. but he would definitely outlive them :(( and i keep thinking abt that!! how tragic it is. mer!sugu would treasure their memory so dearly though… maybe there’s an intricate burying ritual for merfolk that he’d follow? like. collecting their bones and burying them by the beach… or down in the deep sea….. or maybe he makes a necklace with some pieces of their skeleton and wears it. so he always keeps a piece of them with him. Kinda Fucked Up but it’s a merfolk thing ok just roll w it 😭😭 they’re sinister creatures but also very devoted….
idk just. mer!sugu grieving reader for as long as he lives without them…. the idea of that makes me so so sad. imagine him swimming up to the surface when the moon looks the same as it did when they first met…… shedding a tear or two before returning to sea……. and his tears end up turning into a myriad of sea glass, covering the beach in green and blue and purple…….. or so the folktale goes <3 yeahhhh i just like the idea of their love story becoming a local fairy tale decades after reader has passed. it’s so bittersweet … T—T
sigh i got carried away again. tysm as always for chatting w me 🌙 anon!!! <33 i don’t think my heart can handle thinking abt mer!sugu angst…. i just want him to be pouty and cute all the time……… :(((

life of a loser is so good
Thank you 💚
I have a lot of fond memories of my TDI 'fics and how they helped me grow my love for expanding on canon, writing large casts of characters, and playing with the friendships and conflicts that arise due to forced proximity because you're literally stuck in a 5-star hotel with these people and can't do anything about it... I certainly wouldn't have the 'fics I'm writing today if I'd never written Life of a Loser!
Honestly, it's SO tempting to polish my drafts for the other elimination 'fics I wrote... My Staci one didn't survive the draft because of a specific plot twist I wanted that turned out to be too ambitious, but I love Leonard and how his 'fics were coming. There are some gut-wrenching things I wrote for the Leonard-Tammy dynamic in my Ridonculous Race draft (and a lot of manipulative Topher in both that and "Beatin' Path") and if opportunity arises to spare the time & motivation, I'd love to post more of that :)
I did have some early Mario drabbles I used to post, but I consider Life of a Loser my first "official" fanfic. Take me back to the days of writing Noah and Eva just constantly dunking on anti-hero Ezekiel and bonding over it. NoVa being besties who are canonically down to split a million dollars with each other, my beloved...

First day at my new study/work place:
It’s really nice, colourful, we have a kitchen and a court, where I’ll spend most of my time writing and drinking coffee
My supervisor’s a cute little man who whispers when he speaks and grunts when he laughs
And we’ve to meet only once a month to keep him updated on my research
It’s in my favourite neighbourhood of Paris 🥰
The Irish Cultural Centre is in front of it 🍀

new guy at work today made a mistake telling me i could put my music on
first of all this was his last training shift and we got absolutely slammed and because he's never worked a barista job before he was so so slow
and then because we were so busy i didnt have time to queue songs, so after my playlist ran out it went to the 'radio' thing that spotify does and it just kept being kpop
during russian roulette he turned to me like 'so... is this ur jam...'
later when we had a breather i asked if he had any song requests and he said 'anything but kpop'
