#they all care sm it makes me so sappy

[coverednstars]

i think out of all the ikemen series games that i’ve played I like i like watching the ikepri character interact with each other the most. Idk i love sibling rivalry’s and friendship plus the tension when it comes to the other nations princes is so fun to watch sometimes i prefer it over the romance

[mothbart]

laying with my girlfriend and listening to the rain after wanting to cry all day was truly what i needed actually !

[imaginariumwanderer]

Mkay last post before logging off. Featuring silly pixel art I made w/ my mouse.

This chart was actually made out of pure self-indulgent a while back with no intention of being posted, I ended up scribbling(?) all over the thing. Hopefully it's readable when zoomed in.

It's "my ship in 5 minutes" but I can make it 30 if you want. WARNING: Tons of sappy yapping+pixel art download under cut.

About "tropes": The trope is called Angel-Devil shipping, oh but I don't think PV is an angel. He's more like a God for SM (at least that's my preference)… Thinking at all the possible tropes that suits them make me really wonder why some people consider Shadowvanilla a crack/pro ship. Enemies to lovers or villain/hero ships have been pretty archetypal since the day of olds. Compared to all the ships I've encountered in the past… Shadowvanilla is more or less the "slightly out of the norm" on the "problematic ships scale" <- typing this out make me feel like an old fandom veteran haha

About "how it happens": I have no idea where to put PV on that chart. He's the one who approached first, but not out of romantic intents, him falling for SM is as unexpected as can be. SM fell first and slowly, and in 'slow' I meant decades upon decades. It's inevitable, painfully so, spending all those years watching over this cookie who's so perfect in his imperfections, how could one not feel something? Of course it's not so simple, that 'something' is a horrid mixture of disgust, envy, hatred, understanding, both the need to preserve and destroy… And maybeee the tiniest crumb of affection? SM realized something around the first couple hundredth years mark, he then spends the next thousands in denial of it. No matter. Whether it's PV or the Soul jam, his birth-given rights. SM knows what he wants and he WILL get what he wants. (He's wrong on both fronts. And somewhere in the back of his mind, SM knows that. But he'll never admit it. He'll never ever admit anything. Until it's too late. In a way, the same goes for PV)

About a certain someone who's not clingy, but would die for attention: I think PV gets lonely easily. As he's hyper-aware of himself and considerate of others, appearing clingy is the last thing PV wants. So PV would put extra efforts in taking care of those around him, be it cookies, animals or the greenery in his garden. A healer is always busy, always helpful. If he's always needed by others then he would never be afraid of being alone. Ironically enough, this ended up making PV come off as a little overbearing. As of late, the only ones able to see through the facade are Hollyberry cookie and you-know-who.

Other scattered thoughts: These two are completely different yet can't be more similar, on the various sliding scales they're either stuck to one another or are flung to both ends. On another note, honestly I can't see these two doing anything domestic together, the most I can see is cooking, which is basically the same as magic in the cookie world. Anyways, are they in "love"? Are they dating? Not really, no. It's more of a a parasitic-turned-symbiotic-soulbond, a will-they-won't-they-destroy-the-world situationship (iykyk) I do enjoy relationships that's hard to put into words. Their feelings are somehow romantic, somewhat deranged and something much, much deeper.

My desire to ship these two comes from the desire to see them grow beyound their archetypes. Being with PV does give SM the chance to be horrible as can be, yeah, but I'd like to think SM does have a personality outside of being a villainous tormentor. He spends so long observing others, and now for the first time he's being seen. Now SM have met someone who can see right through him, who can glimpse into those dammed vulnerabilities of his. Being with SM does let us see PV in his darkest moments, but it's at the same time the moments where PV can shine the most, to prove SM that his ideals isn't naïveté or simple platitudes. In canon, SM+PV works well as enemies, but it is the many contradictions born when romance is added into the mix that got me shipping. They simultaneously break down and bolster one another's greatest traits. Like binary stars, they orbit around the other, so close yet so far apart, lest they collide. They could've been so perfect for each other. But not in this life, or the next, or the next...

Pixel art time! I have way too much fun w/ Smilk's many faces, his and PV's combined came to around 22 expressions. These are quick to made due to their small size (25x25 px). Zip file includes both the og and 75x75 sizes. I don't mind if any Vanilla milkshakers might use these, just please remember to read the my art terms and conditions first! (which can be found in my About)

Some disclaimer: some images may have different names. This is the first time I'm using Getuploader so sorry if something broke.

I LOVE YOUR WRITING OMG ITS SOO GOOD !! 🤍🤍

i wanted to req doing a skincare routine w gojo, like asking him to lay down so you could do it. if that makes sense 😭😭

(i thought it would be so cutee !! pref a fem reader)

NIGHTS LIKE THESE

↳ GOJO さとる + fem!reader

Satoru just enjoying getting pampered by his wife.

[ Note ] : ahhh u are so very kind 😖💗 i lovee the idea of skincare w gojo sm!! he deserves to be pampered like a royal puppy

He's all for it when you suggest doing a skincare routine on him. I mean, laying down and letting your soft hands work out the tension in his face with some nice smelling products? Yes, please. That's exactly what he needs on a Friday night after teaching martial arts to his students all day.

"What's this?" he asks for each product in your hands. He doesn't eye them out suspiciously, he just accepts whatever you're putting on his face.

He's in this love-ditzy state tonight... oh, maybe it's just the strong blossom scent flooding in through the windows putting him in that state.

"This is a face mask... I'll put it on, then peel it off in fifteen minutes..." you're murmuring slowly, voice soft as you focus on smearing the sparkly gelatinous liquid over the curve of his cheek."

"Mmm..." he hums in acknowledgement to what you said, eyes closing.

His hair is put out of the way by a pink makeup headband; it's the one he bought for you at the beginning of the year, that Sailor Moon one. It just has a crescent moon on the center.

Satoru wiggles his feet and rests his finger-locked hands on his stomach, relishing in the attention you're giving him.

There's a serene silence as you apply the face mask with carefulness — you're trying to make it that perfectly rounded mask.

"... you're so gentle." Satoru comments, smiling to himself. "It's nice... getting pampered by my pretty wife. I think this is the meaning of life." he says in a low rasp. You can hear how tired he is after teaching all day in the hot sun.

"What, the meaning of life is... getting a face mask put on you?" you chuckle.

"Being with you." he replies.

You soften your brows and look down at him with love. He's still got his eyes closed so he can't see your loving look. It's okay. He can feel your love radiating.

"Well aren't you sappy..." you tease. He smiles.

He knows he's sappy, but you like it, don't you? And he means it. His meaning of life is being with you.

"I'm done, by the way."

"OOH let me see."

He checks his reflection in his phone camera, and you know snaps a picture with you while he's at it. You complain that he's gotten your bad side, and that he has to take it again, but he's giggling like a mischievous kid.

You sigh and look at him. "Of course... of course you look good in a face mask."

"Uhhh yeah duh I look good in everything." he responds cockily, then adds, "... you look good in everything, too."

"Ah shut it!" you giggle, and the sound makes his heart lurch.

"Mmm, it's true." he leans in, giving you a lopsided kiss, "Thank you, baby. Anyways... this stuff smells so good... is it edible?"

"No, it's not. So don't eat it."

He eats a little to mess with you. Then scrunches his whole face at the chemical taste.

"Satoru why are you like this." you shake your head. "Anyways... I'll cut some cucumbers for your eyes." you say, turning to the tiny cutting board that you put on top of a pillow.

"Yay, cucumber time." he says like a five-year-old. "It's not bigger than mine, is it?" he eyes out the cucumber you're taking into your hands.

"Satoru!" you laugh scoldingly.

He lets you cut the cucumber in peace, not wanting to talk in case he distracts you. But the way he stares at you, with his fists tucked under his chin and that star-struck look in his eyes, he distracts you anyways, and you nearly slice your finger.

Satoru's a different kind of beautiful. That's apparent from the first time you meet him, but you realize it during times like this; when you're snuggled up in your dim-lit bedroom. The clear face mask glitters a bit, you can see it drying.

"Don't touch it. It's drying."

"Sorryyy."

You shake your head at him. Then you catch him trying to touch his face again.

"Ooh, I can feel the little stars in it."

"Satoru, let it dry. Lay back. I'm covering your eyes..."

"... ooh, kinky."

You sigh, he smiles — he's so happy that he can be an absolute idiot around you and yet you still love him. How'd an obnoxious idiot like him get a tender, loving woman like you? I guess, 'cause he's god's favorite, I mean... with the Six Eyes and Limitless bestowed on him, of course he'd be sent an earth angel too, just to protect his sanity. You're very much his sanctuary, the refuge he seeks when responsibility whips his back.

The soothing cucumber slices cover his eyes now.

Laying and letting you pamper him like this makes him feel so at peace, he's becomes drowsy, and soon falls asleep. Soft snores sound from him. He's so utterly soft and gentle while he sleeps, you wouldn't think he's the strongest.

You decide to not wake him, and just peel the face mask off him gently once the fifteen minutes passes.

He just sleeps like a baby while you finish the routine. A soft, radiant glow adorns his cheekbones. His chest rises and falls like a calm tide.

That's your husband; a hyper, sleep-deprived, overworked and overburdened man who lives for the nights you do these sweet things with him.

OKAY SO, IVE ONLY RECENTLY FOUND THIS ACC AND OMFG I LOVE IT SM, UR WRITING >>>>

okeyokey, so, i love cats, i saw the spicy cat hcs/scenarios and i thought VGAHIVAGYCFTUACTUYVGUAVGYU I LOVE IT, and uhm, so i so kindly ask u for more cat ability hcs/scenarios with Jouno and Tecchou, but this time more fluffy ones (omg imagine them finding out their s/o likes head pats and then purring VFGYCDRTCDRTCD), i would marry u frfr

anon we're married now duh🙄🩷 this was so fun to write hope u like it♡

2:59☆

𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒐, 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒙 𝒇𝒆𝒎!𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓

𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: fluff♡

°☆○

𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒐

he doesn't care much about your ability tbh but he does find your personality adorable.

Jouno doesn't admit it easily but he likes how playful you are. devoted yet independent, just like a cat

you avoid shifting to your cat form at home because cat hair bothers him😭 if you leave hair on the couch he's gonna make you clean it with a lint roller

he absolutely loves it when you lay your head in his lap; he takes this opportunity to run his fingers through your hair and caress you gently. you often fall asleep like that so he has to carry you to bed♡

ironically calls you kitten💀

now hear me out now. he has a spray bottle and when you get on his nerves by being too clingy he sprays you

besides that he loves how quiet and collected you are. most people are clumsy, loud and unbearably annoying but not you. due to your ability you're naturally more quiet. except when he cuddles you...

It was one of those early December evenings when you and Jouno were tucked under a blanket on the couch, watching a generic, sappy Christmas movie.

"God how can someone come up with such a shitty script..." sighed your boyfriend, turning his head towards you.

The slow, steady rhythm of your heartbeat signaled him that you were fast asleep and he let out another sigh; this time softer, more sympathetic. He quickly turned off the TV and picked you up with ease, earning a sleepy groan from you- before tip-toeing to your shared bedroom.

Once you were both underneath the crisp covers Jouno finally allowed himself to enjoy a few minutes of silence. It's been a hard day at work; meeting, tiresome interrogations and if this wasn't enough he'd been paired up with Tecchou for a mission. He did his best to push all the dark thoughts in the back of his mind and closed his eyes, focusing instead of the sweet sounds you made as you tossed around in bed, sighing softly, breathing slowly; 1,2,3 inhale... 1, 2,3 exhale.

Soon enough, sleep crept up and he drifted closer to you. One of his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you flush against his chest as he relished the welcoming warmth of your body. His chin came to rest on your head, fingers gently kneading your plush thighs.

Jouno was close to falling asleep when a sudden noise alerted his senses- a soft rumble, coming from you. He felt the light vibrations of your ribcage against his chest.

"You've got to be kidding me" he sighed, a tinge of amusement laced in his voice.

You lazily opened your eyes at the sound of his voice. "What babe?"

"You're purring again. And I can't fall asleep"

"'m sorry dear. You know I can't control it" you mumbled as you turned to face him. Snaking your arms around his waist you placed a chaste, apologetic kiss to his jaw and closed your eyes again, drifting back into your slumber.

Your boyfriend only hummed in response and sighed, fully relaxing in your embrace. Slowly but surely, the sound of your purrs lulled him to sleep.

𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒖

he absolutely loves your ability. I get the feeling that he's a cat person?? so he adores you, quite literally, in all shapes and forms

Tecchou cuddles you a lot. in bed, on the couch, during breakfast when you sit on his lap; he just loves you

his heart literally melts when he hears you purring while you cuddle

sometimes you surprise him at work, sitting in front of the Hunting Dogs hq in your cat form- a little calico cat with a fluffy tail and emerald green eyes- and waiting for him to return from a mission so you can go out and have lunch together♡

baby boy is so soft when he sees you napping; and you do sleep a lot in your free time due to your ability. often when he comes home you're curled up under your blanket on the couch. he just sits down next to you and peppers your face with sweet kisses

still, due to your ability you're a picky eater, so you refuse to eat most of his strange food combos

"Come on Y/N. Just try it I promise it's good" pleaded your boyfriend in a sad voice, looking at you from across the counter with big, sorrowful eyes.

You shook your head in response, eyeing the mixture of soy sauce and chocolate pudding before you.

"Nuh uh. I ain't touching that". You crossed your arms over your chest, slightly tilting your chin upwards to make your point. Your mind was made.

"But angel I made it for you" sighed Tecchou, visibly disappointed. "Just a taste baby please"

You eventually gave in, rolling your eyes as you grabbed a spoonful of the questionable mixture and stuffed your mouth, instantly regretting it. The pudding tasted salty and had a mushy texture resembling sand on the beach. Still, noticing Tecchou's hopeful expression you did your best to swallow, feigning a smile.

"Wow it's actually pretty good" you said weakly, earning a sigh from your partner.

"You don't have to lie to me, angel. I can tell you don't like it". His amber gaze lowered, shoulders slumping in defeat and you huffed, leaning closer to grab his hand from across the countertop.

"Look baby. I appreciate you trying out new recipes for me. It's really sweet, but they aren't that appealing to me"

Tecchou looked up at you, thumb brushing against yours as he nodded.

"Aight, I got it" A smile finally tugged at the corners of his lips and you leaned in to kiss him, earning a satisfied hum. When you pulled away he was beaming again, eyes sparkling with adoration.

"Say..." you began again, pressing one of your palms against his chest "You've got any more of that chocolate pudding left. The untempered one I mean."

Tecchou chuckled slowly and pointed at the fridge. "There's plenty left"

"How about we share it then?"

You grabbed the pudding from the fridge and a clean spoon before returning to your boyfriend. Prying the crisp aluminium foil off the pudding you scooped a spoonful and fed it to Tecchou, who smiled down at you.

"Well I can't deny it. It definitely tastes better than what I made"

You purr lightly in response, raising to your tippy toes to kiss the sweet taste of chocolate off his lips.

"See, I told you so"

Ranking WxS ships, from least to most favorite

Okay listen we all know what's on top let me ramble about the other wandasho ships

#7: Emunene

I know this seems bad. Listen. I don't actually ship Emunene.... They're fucking adorable and the subtext is there and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their relationships in the stories I've read so far just. Not romantically? Like I definitely like them romantically but I vastly prefer (in terms of girlxgirl ships) honaemu or enanene. I still love them. 7.5/10

#6: Emukasa

This used to be my fave ship lol. I still adore them and their dynamic with each other, I just don't think about them as much as I used to... But don't get me wrong they still mean so much to me... 8/10

#5: Ruinene

Omg I fucking love Ruinene. I'm writing a ruinene-centered fic and i always have so much fun with their characters!! Their dynamic is just really fun to me and it's fun to play around with them knowing each other for a decade for both emotional beats and humor. 8.5/10

#4: Emurui

I. Love. Emurui. Like. A lot. I've never actually written them yet but Ive drawn them and they're so fucking FUN. the autism to autism communication. The Fucking Purple And Pink. They make me so fucking ajsjjsksjsjsjs. 8.9/10

#3: Nenekasa

I hate them. I hate them sm. I've written 1k words about them ballroom dancing that's how much I hate them. I fuck so fucking HARD with the way they bounce off of each other and also since I'm also a fucking loser I make them sappy as hell. I hate them. I hate them. 10/10

#2 Ruikasa. Wait. What....?

Yeah idk what you were expecting but I'm sure it wasn't this huh. I am unhealthily obsessed with ruikasa. I have at least ten WIP ruikasa fics. I read almost exclusively ruikasa fics. I think about them all the time. I am not exaggerating. they're not the best ship imo. But they're my favorite. 12/10

And of course the winner is you guessed it

#1: Polyshow

YEAHAHWGEWHGAHAGAHVA!!!! POLYSHO!!!! MY FUCKING BABIES!!!! THEY AKL LOVE EACH OTHER SO FUCKING MUCH THEY MAKE ME SICK I HATE THEM!!!!!! okay. like they're my second favorite but god DAMN do I eat so WELL whenever I read a WxS story because they're all so obnoxiously in love with each other. Platonic romantic queerplatonic I don't CARE. I LOVE THEM. THEY'RE PERFECT. also I write polysho the most in character so they get bonus points for that. Bonus bonus points for polysho fans always showing the fuck UP for any polysho content. I got so many comments on my (discontinued so don't read it) polysho fic and it made me so happy. 88/10

[shentheauthor]

Love is Love, at The End of The Day — Mary-Beth x fem! reader

summary: Reader confesses the fact they like women, and that the woman she likes was Mary-Beth.

t/w: typical time period homophobia (not too bad, it's internalized mainly (which is still bad but like...no one is hating on gays, just battling the fact that they weren't accepted at the time)). Mentioned misogyny (Time period typical.)

a/n: My first wlw fic. I hope I did this justice. I love Mary-Beth sm <3

w/c: 1.2k

Master List

A warm breeze brushed by rustling leaves. The chatter of people in camp left was soothing. I took in a deep breath of fresh air, closing my eyes and taking in the warmth of the sun. After being in a snowstorm, it makes you appreciate the nice weather a bit more. The sound of footsteps put me on alert, but I relaxed once more when I noticed it was only Mary-Beth. I smiled at her as she took a seat next to me. 

“Hello,” I greeted her as she leaned against the log with me. 

“I thought you could use some company,” She replied, looking down at the book she held in her lap. 

“Your company’s always appreciated,” I replied, trying not to blatantly stare. 

I’ve been sweet on Mary-Beth for some time now. I can’t remember when it started, just that one day, I realized my feelings were a bit more than friendly. I’ve kept it to myself though, since a woman being sweet on another woman wasn’t appropriate. In fact, it was seen as preposterous. Besides, I don’t think Mary-Beth would ever feel the same way. So I kept my feelings to myself, admiring her from afar. 

“How was bounty huntin’?” She asked, her green eyes sparkling in the sunlight.

“Same old, same old,” I sighed out, my eyes drifting out to a blue jay that was resting in a tree. “Men not taking me seriously, tryin’ not to pay me for my work, the usual.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, honey,” She said sympathetically. I tried to ignore the fluttering in my chest at the pet name. 

My gaze drifted back to Mary-Beth, and softly hummed in acknowledgment. I felt myself flush slightly when I realized we were staring at each other longer than acceptable for friends to. We both looked away. I forced myself not to look as I felt Mary-Beth scoot closer to me, taking deep breaths to keep myself calm. I heard her open her book, and I couldn’t help but take a glance as her focus left me. 

She was so pretty and kind. I loved spending time with her, it was just so easy to tell her how I was feeling. To listen to her talk about the most recent book she’s read, to just sit with each other and enjoy each other's company. All these emotions made me feel so sappy, it made me just want to lean over and kiss her cheek. 

I let out a soft sigh and looked back out into the nature that surrounded us. All I could really think about was the warmth of Mary-Beth as she sat by me. I wanted to hold her hand, lay my head on her shoulder and play with her fingers. I was brought out of my daydream when Mary-Beth rested her head on my shoulder. I tried my hardest not to tense up, shifting a bit so she’d be more comfortable. My mind raced, not being used to this situation, but I tried to keep my expression calm. 

“Is this okay?” She whispered. Our eyes met and I nodded shyly. She smiled sheepishly, glancing away. I felt this overwhelming bittersweet feeling. I just wanted to hold her, take care of her, love her, but even if she did like me back…it was best just not to think about it. Another breeze passed by, causing a strand of Mary’s hair falling into her face. Hesitantly, I lifted my hand up and brushed the hair out of her face. My face felt like it was melting, not exactly sure where the courage came from. And the fact that Mary-Beth seemed to be just as flustered as me didn’t help, but secretly admired the way her blush painted her cheeks. 

“And what do you two think you’re doing?” The familiar voice of Karen rang out. We both jumped, completely absorbed in our own world. “Better not be gettin’ into any trouble.” I laughed awkwardly, while Mary-Beth let out a little huff.

“Now what kinda trouble would we even get into?” Mary-Beth asked with a pout. 

“I donno, you tell me,” Karen laughed, walking past us with a wave. Mary-Beth and I looked at each other for a second before bursting out in laughter. That familiar fuzzy warmth consuming me. I looked off to the side, my smile fading slightly. 

“Somethin on your mind,” She asked, moving her face into view. 

I stared at her, debating internally if I should say something about how I feel or not, settling for something a bit more vague, “I think I’m sweet on someone…”

Mary-Beth clasped her hands and shuffled in front of me, but her smile didn’t seem to reach her eyes, “That’s amazin!”

Looking down at my hands, I bit my lip nervously, “Well…I’m not exactly meant to be sweet on them.”

“That’s so romantic,” She gasped. “Oh, please tell me who. Would you?”

“I really ain’t meant to like em,” I replied, looking up at her with fear. “I’m scared…that everyone would…that they would look down on me.”

Mary grasped my hand in hers and gave me a serious look, “We’re a family, honey. Whoever it is you like won’t change that. Besides, you can tell me anythin and I won’t say a peep.”

I looked down at our intertwined hands, tears slowly creeping up on me. I felt like crying. I wanted to tell her so badly, get it off my chest, but it was so scary. Would she still see me the same? Would she still be my friend? What if, what if, what if.

“Even if it’s another lady?” I whispered, not noticing the tears that started to fall. “I-I know it ain’t right, but…but…” I tried to push down the sob that was trying to escape, using my free hand to cover my face. 

Mary-Beth pulled me into an embrace, and I buried my face into her blouse. Tears kept flowing down my face as she comforted me, running her hands through my hair. 

“Wanna know a secret?” She whispered into my ear as she rubbed my back gently. I nodded, not wanting to speak. “I’m sweet on a lady too.” 

I pulled away slightly, rubbing at my eyes to rid my tears, “Really?”

She nodded with a gentle smile, “Yeah, but I thought…I was the only one who’d feel such things.” 

Our gaze met and I wanted to kiss her so badly, but for all I know, she meant another lady in the camp. I didn’t even notice that we were both leaning towards each other until our noses touched. My entire being felt like it was on fire, and for once I didn’t hold back. Our lips met, barely touching, testing the waters. Her lips were as plump and softer than I ever imagined. I was caught off guard when she kissed me more firmly, but it was still gentle and soft.

Once we pulled away, it’s like she took my breath with her. I opened my eyes slowly, savoring the moment. We stared at each other with clear affection, and she took my hand in hers once more, her blush going all the way up to her ears. 

“The others won’t notice,” She murmured. “They’ll probably chalk it up to us bein’ good friends.”

“Well…” I trailed off, smirking slightly. “I suppose in a sense, we are.” 

Mary-Beth huffed a small laugh while smacking my shoulder gently. All I could do was smile back at her, reveling in the fact that she shared my affections.

˗ˋ ୨ - 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒔 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒓𝒂𝒑 𝒖𝒑 : 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 - ୧ ˊ˗

holidays are my only opportunity to be unapologetically sappy on this blog , i think . . . . ( /j ) and since it’s going to be 2024 in like 20 minutes here in australia i wanted to get this out before it gets too late into the night hehe also ! i have a lot i want to say 

( also comm showcase because i thought that'd be cute )

so it’s almost been a year since i properly ( there's no way to properly do it but you understand . . ) started self-shipping , i think ? and it's ( in all honesty ? ) helped me through much of the year i started this blog back in march i believe , but i consider our anniversary to be in may ( i thought it was august but a very silly girlie got dates mixed up with lore if you could believe ehe ; ) which . . is five months off but it still feels pretty close ! he’s become such an intrinsic and important part of my life now that it feels as if it’s always been this way i guess . i’ve said it before but his character is just so kind and gentle and caring but also he’s reminded be how lovely it is to actually romanticise life a little bit and how good it feels to embrace your passion/s i um . . i love him very much ? 🩵🥺

he’s such a genuine source of comfort and so very dear to my heart , and I truly think he’s going to be my love favourite forever and i can't wait to do more ship stuff in the coming year hehe ! i’ve been with this series for sixteen years now . because i'm old . ( /j ) it was such a huge staple of my childhood and maybe i’ll talk about it someday - i'd like to ! - because many of my dearest memories are centred around this franchise. perhaps this blog was always inevitable in that way , i like to joke about self shipping with him is like a long term membership bonus . . but either way , in a sense i feel so lucky i get to express my love for it in this way if that makes sense ?

marianne ( having been made this year ) is also important to me in a way that’s . . come to surprise me , honestly ? i haven’t had an ‘ oc ‘ in a very long while so perhaps i just forgot about how emotionally attached you can really become . it’s probably also no shock that despite being a self insert, she’s very personal to me . . as someone that admittedly struggles with quite a bit of negative self talk, being able to say i like these parts of myself that i implement into her character has been quite healing for me as well ! and being able to rediscover my love for collecting flowers and coffee was also something really fun to do ! to the person that designed her ( you know who you are hehe ) I’m so incredibly grateful you bought her to life. It truly does mean sm . . as well as to everyone that's drawn her of course hehe , im always so giddy to see my little beloveds drawn so prettyful !

i really can’t emphasise enough just how grateful i am for both the community and all of my really lovely moots. i’m rather quiet so i don’t talk a lot but the interactions i’ve had on here are soso special to me and i really do cherish them so much no matter how small . . i have so many fond memories this year of that alone and it makes me tearyy happy happy 2024 to you and your beloveds hehe - if you actually managed to sit through all this I’m actually spinning you around so so much you very lovely and sweet . I hope the new year is everything you want it to be ! sending you each and every one of my best wishes your waaay mwah mwah !

[chained-sweater]

remake of my angieboy headcanons because my last post was BAD.

notes: tagging @fictionalcharactergraveyard bc on my og post they asked for these hcs, and since i like, uh..deleted my old post i need to like—let them see this one.

— angela has a lot of nicknames for ponyboy, and vice versa. they're either very cute/sappy or it sounds like they're insulting each other. there is no in between.

— very, very cuddly couple. they're always cuddling. ya walk into the room and boom: pony and angela are snuggled up on the couch.

— the reaction their siblings had when they found out they were dating, oh lordy loo.

· tim gave pony the classic 'older-brother-talking-to-his-little-sister's-boyfriend' talk, but other than that, he's fine with them being together. ponyboy is intimidated by him and every time he tells angela 'i think your brother hates me' angela's like, 'which brother?' pony says, 'tim' and angela responds with, 'you're fine, he likes you.' yeah, tim's pretty chill w/ it.

· CURLY ON THE OTHER HAND.....

↑ let's just say pony's lucky to be alive. curly's their #1 op, fr.

· darry doesn't care, tbh. he's just glad pony's in a happy relationship.

· sodapop, however, is very wary of angela. he was still recovering over sandy at the time and he's worried that pony would go through something similar to what he went through with sandy.

· don't even get me started on the gang, oh jesus.

· two-bit literally starting cheering and gave ponyboy a big bear hug. he then proceeded to start gushing about how adorable they were 'n stuff. (i can't, i love two-bit sm.)

· steve was just like, 'yeah, whatever.'

· dallas was all, 'ooh, you go horseman.' ponyboy threw a book at his head.

· johnny was still recovering at the hospital (yes, ofc he and dally live), and when he found out, he was SO jealous. *heather by conan gray starts playing in the background.*

— pony and angela never get past the puppy-love stage of their relationship. that is their relationship. (they're so cute, omg.)

— ponyboy gives angela some of their drawings he made (they're of her) and she keeps every single one. she pins them on the wall above her bed in her and curly's bedroom.

· curly's all, 'FOR FUCK'S SAKE, ANGIE, TAKE THEM DOWN' and angela's just like, 'no.'

— you do not want to see these two on a date, sweet jesus christ.

· THEY ARE SO MUSHY, ISTG. THE PDA IS ASTRONOMICAL.

· dally once went to a restaurant to grab some dinner and when he walked in he found angela sitting on pony's lap and they were feeding each other and giggling 'n shit and istg dallas gagged. (tbh, i don't blame him, i would of done the same. 💀)

— angela made them matching bracelets. ponyboy (and angela, ofc) never takes theirs off.

— holding hands is like, their lifeline. they're always holding hands. (i'm making myself feel single writing this, smh.)

— it's basically your average middle school relationship, but it's actually successful.

[svtjinny]

JUYEON :: RELATIONSHIPS WITH SVT

wc: just a lil over 2k. not proofread, lowercase intended!

SEUNGCHEOL, JEONGHAN & JOSHUA

jinny's fathers!!!! she's the only girl so obviously jinny's gonna get a lot of hate for it / how close she is with the members and these three are always there for her :( constant reassurance that she's not a burden to them and that it's okay to cry when she needs to. when jinny went on 'no prepare' w/ youngji she got drunk and cried over how much these three care about her SEUNGCHEOL ~ JICHEOL: since he's the oldest, he cares a lot about all 13 of his members. he does, however, check up on jinny often and make sure she's taking care of herself and not closing herself off from the group whenever she's dealing with scandals or hate. these two are just super soft UGH. on inside seventeen eps or on tour stops jinny will just randomly go up to cheol and lay her head on his shoulder or lap "just cause she wants to." they call a lot because she gets super worried esp around comeback szn and he's one of the only members she feels comfortable expressing her worries with & crying in front of. when they aren't being all sappy n shit tho, jinny's constantly trying to annoy him at the most random times. or she's teasing him over the way he moved his hands or said something LOL (and vice versa.. he'll walk past her and mock her english as pay back) fansites love these two trust me!!

JEONGHAN ~ JINHAN: speaking of hate, jeonghan is always the first member jinny goes to whenever she's getting negative comments or opinions from netizens. she puts a lot of trust in jeonghan and is always asking for advice from him. but moving on.... jinny HATES (she doesn't) playing games with jeonghan bcz he's either a smartass or he'll cheat his way to victory. in that one jeonghan vs. svt episode, she literally walked up to the seating area, said "i'm gonna write -1,000,000." and tried leaving (the staff wouldnt let her LMAO). jinny always the first to notice when he's trying to mess with the members she'll be like "yah! stop being a liar, you're like pinnochio." and it makes everyone laugh JOSHUA ~ JIJO: they bonded over their confusion as foreigners (+ vernonnie) OMG. whenever the members would laugh at a joke she didn't understand jinny would immediately turn to shua with confused eyes. anywayss, jinny values her relationship with joshua a lot!! being in seventeen meant staying in korea for large periods of time, away from her brother. joshua is like her older brother figure when she isn't in australia. but he also loves to annoy her at random times?? like on stage for example he'll come over to her and mess with her outfit or whatever's in her hands OR he'll keep switching between korean & english when talking and it frustrates her sm LOL. also loves to mock her english..

JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO & WOOZI jinny is always fighting with them LMAO... there's no gose ep where they aren't arguing at least once (cough mousebusters cough). kir looks up to them a lot though! these four are always cheering for her in shoots, even when she appears in ads or on billboards!!! it's like they argue and then 5 mins later it's "go jinny" JUN ~ JIHUI: he loves to hype jinny up for no reason honestly. like she'll be showcasing a dance or talent for a variety show and all you'll hear is "WOAHHHH JINAA WOWWWWWW" from him LOL. jinny likes to mock him with his "nothing is spicy for me" stuff but then he pulls out a pepper or hot sauce out of nowhere? and she'll run screaming "moon junhui i'm sorry for everything i've never done to you!!!" pls. but also she loves whenever he goes on rants about things he wants to try in china with the members while they're talking backstage or smt because she!! wants!! to!! go!! too!! he bakes or buys her a lot of chinese treats and it makes her melt :( when hes asked to do aegyo or cute poses jinny cackles.. it's just so funny and cute at the same time HOSHI ~ SOONJIN: for seungcheol's sake, don't let these two partner with each other in games or stand anywhere near each other in relay dances. chaotic duo omg. if they aren't fighting, they're laughing at each other. and if they aren't laughing at each other, they're probably chasing each other or doing god knows what. their gose cameramen get weekly workouts at this point with their constant movement. ESPECIALLY IN DON'T LIE. when soonyoung does his silly little "watching the members' reactions" thing he immediately points at her and screams that it's jinny because there was a GHOST of a smirk on her face. or when they're playing random games she'll say he was too slow by a millisecond just to try and stop him from winning. WONWOO ~ JINWON: wonu found jinny crying once and ever since then they've gotten like super close. they'll be filming and then the camera goes to woolyn and jinny's just casually piggybacking on him. they don't argue as much as the other three but when they do it's HILARIOUS. "you stole my crackers, didn't you?" + "sorry.. i'm a foreigner what's a cracker? (except it's her imitating his pronunciation)" when jinny's solo was announced he was one of the more excited members. omg they also love to quote / imitate each other too. "tasty." (insomnia zero !!!!) and then theres wonu mocking jinny's silly photoshoot poses. but jinny gets so excited when she sees wonu after some time away cause he's like this gigantic teddy bear in her eyes.. there are so many compilations of jinny hugging wonu or hanging onto him at the most random times. WOOZI ~ 2JI: cue jinny dragging jihoon out of the studio at 1-2 am because he locked himself in there with his factory supply of diet coke. jinny is a producer and loves to make music and jihoon's always the one she goes to whenever she needs an opinion on a lyric or part of a song. they've had a lot of dumb moments together on trips like TTT and in the studio and both of them use it against each other. "hey jinny, do you remember when-" "NO. I DON'T REMEMBER." in every other game svt plays LMAO. on the rareeeee occasion jihoon gets tipsy he'll get super emotional with jinny and it's so funny to the rest of the members for some reason. in conclusion, jinny's like jihoon's reminder to stop working and jihoon is jinny's reminder of every stupid thing she's ever done.

DK, MINGYU, & THE8 jinny's brothers part one. they're besties!! 97z are always making her laugh or teasing her. these are some of the members she's known since she was a little girl so they're especially close :( drunk jinny is also extremely clingy and emotional and they always have to deal with it but whenever one of them brings it up, like in insomnia zero for example, she gets flustered and denies it so fast DK ~ SENNY: svt mood makers,,, they're always making jokes or laughing at something or each other (or making fun of seungkwan..). they both get so happy whenever they see each other ITS SO CUTE like there's this one gose ep where jinny came back after being in australia for some time and seokmin ran and hugged her so fast. ALSO BEST VOCAL DUO I SAY! jinny released a song with him as a feature and it blew up so fast bcz of how extremely good they sounded. jinny also loves to play as seokmin's supportive facebook mom LMAO. on her insta she has so many cringy pics of him doing LITERALLY ANYTHING n captions as "The Best ____" and a bunch of emojis. MINGYU ~ JIGYU: they've known each other since around the time jinny became a trainee and they have such a sweet sibling bond. gyu's so quick to judge whenever someone says something negative about jinny (when they aren't joking about it.. bc if they were joking he'd join in.) it's rlly funny to carats. they cook together a lot and whenever they're filming + cooking mingyu would just keep making fun of how short she is compared to him or some random joke he came up with on the spot. but anyways their food is so good,, everyone gets super excited whenever they cook tgt. also one of jinny's irl teddy bears!! when they see each other it's like those online friends irl meet-up videos the members have so many pics / vids of them dramatically hugging LOL THE8 ~ JIHAO: PLEASE minghao is always either chilling and living peacefully with jinny or teasing her abt her every move. in that one rice planting gose ep they were both sitting together loving every moment of the planting UNTIL HE GOT TO GET FOOD and started to tease her about how the food is sooooooo delicious and she should come and get a bite. but ANYWAYS. jinny loves to hype minghao up in whatever he does!!! once she went on weverse and started boasting about how good minghao is at art cuz they were painting tgt for a vlog. minghao helps calm jinny down most of the time too!! precious besties :[

SEUNGKWAN, VERNON, & DINO jinny's brothers part two. these three are her ride or dies istg!!! similar to 96z, jinny is always fighting with them... but they're also like partners in crime? dino vernon & jinny are like three kids trying to drag a tired mother (seungkwan) into helping them with whatever crazy over the top prank plan they concocted LMAO SEUNGKWAN ~ JIKWAN: never leave these two with a task alone. they will argue over the way the other is BREATHING. it became their thing to just nitpick each other whenever they could and it makes both of them laugh so hard when someone tells them to stop fighting. he said in a show once "i think we're good at teamwork!" and jinny gave him THE MOST judgeful look ever it became a whole meme and they spent like 10 minutes arguing over it... poor host. she showed up at the bss m/v recording and kept laughing at him, which caused them to argue ONCE AGAIN LOL. but omg.. best vocal duo ever pt.2???? them singing or hitting a high note together is what greets you at the gates of heaven it's HOLY. VERNON ~ HANNY: foreign confusion PART TWO!! nonnie helped jinny a lot pre-debut and she's so grateful for him. moving on tho.. vernon's a little demon around jinny like she'll just be on her phone or in the studio sitting minding her own business and then this dude will come up behind her and scare tf out of her LMAO there was this one tour stop where they were just messing with each other the entire time.. cheol was tired. mocks her english part 3 (?? i lost count..) "how do you say water?" "wa'er" *dying laughing* .. there was this one live and vernon was putting chapstick on (i like to think he's like any generic american guy and is an absolute monster when putting on chapstick) and they had this whole debate over how to put on it on correctly. back on the plus side tho, jinny is always there to help vernon put together music!! DINO ~ JINCHAN: jinny's bestie like they are so insanely close. chan's known jinny for years bcz they went to the same middle school! these two are always finding an opportunity to play around with each other or they'll just end up hugging each other at random intervals. carats love jinchan bcz you tell that they love and care for each other sm :( BUT THEN HE'S A LITTLE SHIT TOO?????? he steals random objects or food from her all the time but she could never actually be mad at him ofc. one of them would make some shitty joke and they'll both be on the ground laughing because they end up laughing at each other, it's a never ending cycle. she's the #1 chan supporter she's always cheering him on for ANYTHING...and vice versa! dino's like jinny's protective older brother istg. he's so quick to defend her in anything even if she's the one in the wrong LMAO.

from xia ! : svt being absolute devils whenever jinny speaks english....please she's TIRED.

[anulithots]

*after Anuli comes in and everything gets ruined.*

Kamari cried despite faerself. Fae thought faerself strong enough to bare something so small. Compared to everything else, this was so small.

Yet when Ankh found Kamari, Kamari cried.

Fae had too much to say. They tangled into soggy knots in faer throat. Kamari wanted so badly to blame Ankh for everything. Kamari had to leave because of Ankh. Kamari needed to beg the Mother of Guardians because of Ankh. Anuli was gone because of Ankh.

Yet when Kamari opened faer mouth, fae couldn't blame Ankh.

After all, Kamari's not only suffered because of Ankh. The only reason Kamari lived at all was because of Ankh. Kamari didn't know if living was worth it now. It hurt too much for it to be worth it.

Kamari's sobs were silent. Fae made sure the elders wouldn't hear faer cries. Fae couldn't make a sound even if fae tried.

Kamari wished fae cried louder. Ankh would've heard.

Instead, Kamari whispered. "Why did you come here?"

Ankh never cried. The sounds of sobbing didn't match Ankh's soft-spoken voice. Gasps didn't match faer embarrassed squeaks or faer broken laughs. Sadness didn't match the way Ankh loved in silent flowers and silent comfort and faer silent care.

Ankh sobbed. It cut Kamari's ears, sharper than any cheers could ever be.

"Because I still love you." fae said.

Ngl y'all feeling kinda sappy and blessed by the Lake itself rn

Insane how after all this time this series still brings me so much joy. But not only the series, also the fanbase. I swear reading what you all have to say about the art I make makes waking up every day feel worth it 😭

I did not expect Down the Rabbit Hole to get much attention just cuz David isn't really a fan favorite and he only ever really mattered to me, which is why I made this comic to begin with... I just love David/Mr. Rabbit that much. And tho I was anxious and had my doubts about being able to pull something like this comic off, especially cuz I wasn't sure if I would upset the lore bros (which I did like once but it got resolved super quickly) all I knew was that I just wanted to make something special for David that I feel like would really make a mark in the fanbase... Even after I leave to, no doubt, hibgernate again, And I feel like I did that. But it wouldn't have been that way without all the love and support I got from everyone on here and reddit especially. Like you guys made this comic special 😭🙏 you gave me motivation and confidence to work on it and to make it something special.

I know I don't talk to any of u 1 on 1 (tho I'm always open to I promise I don't bite) but still seeing your tags and reading your comments means the world to me. I'm truly nothing but an artist trying to share their love for something they care about deeply, and you guys were there to tell me "yah, this is cool". Like seriously some of you wrote me comments that I now think about every day and it makes me smile every day.

Ig what I'm trying to say is just thank u for following me, thank you for giving my art the time of day. Your time is precious and you chose to spend it reading my silly comic and looking at my goofy art and even write me something. I appreciate that sm. So thank you 🙏 and I hope I can always make things, whether for Rusty Lake or just art in general, that makes people happy. It's all I want with my art and what makes me happy to be an artist.

But that's enough sap for now haha. If you're reading this. I love you 💜

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

Sorry to bombard ur inbox but that response gave me a thought 😭😭 cult leader!geto and sorcerer!reader both being in battle except at one point you get injured enough to completely black out and he finds you somehow and is like “oh no :( pookie injured” and then hes just like oh well i have to take them home!!! To heal them!!! (That isn’t him trying to justify literally kidnapping you he probably just actually wants to heal you) so you wake up in his cult confused as fuck because the last thing you remember is passing out from blood loss and he’s just sitting cross legged smiling at you with complete and utter adoration in his eyes like “:) I made u tea” and hes laid you down somewhere so comfortable, all your wounds are tended to, and he’s completely aware that you probably want to kill him but he’s like. Oh do u want soup. I can get you soup. And just leaves the room and pats your head SHJASHAHSH HE DOES NO WRONG!!! HES THE MOTHER EVER — stsg anon :ppp

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING UR LOVELY THOUGHTS IN MY INBOX this made me so SOFT stsg anon 🥺🥺 i know i keep saying this but u Get me. this is Him. the only mother ever.

firt aid omg 😭 i love that man sm, may i request first aid w/ gender neutral human reader who just likes to be around him in general? he just has a certain vibe to him that makes him more comfortable for reader to be around him than with other bots 👀

Thank you so much for this ask, it was a delight to sit down and write. That being said, it became a bit of mutual light-hearted complaining about work between close friends, which honesty is just how my mind works at this point. I hope that you enjoy it.

And thanks for reminding me that I never posted my other First Aid fic on Tumblr. ❤

“Hey Aid! When’s your shift ending?”

Every day you strolled through the medibay doors, and every day, no matter who was closest to said door, you would find First Aid.

“Hey Aid! I grabbed you some energon.”

And every day, First Aid would greet you with a brief wave. You would sit down on his desk, and do whatever quiet task suited your fancy.

“Hey Aid, I have a lot of paperwork to do. Can I hang out here?”

Underneath the mask, he smiled at the question. At this point, you already had your own little corner on his desk, decked out with everything from your very own human-sized desk, to an absurd amount of bean bag chairs for one person to occupy. Somehow, you always found a way, but come on, it was your space and you were going to do what you wanted, with First Aid in sight.

“Again? At least Ultra Magnus has decent handwriting.”

You couldn’t help but laugh. “What did you expect? Ratchet is an old doctor, he’s going to have the signature doctor handwriting.”

First Aid placed a data pad on his desk. “I mean, it’s an honor to work with him, but this paperwork is nearly unreadable.” He tapped the end of his stylus against its side.

Your drink rippled, and you smiled, taking a sip. “At least it isn’t a novel of the driest reading known to humankind.” You waved your mini-datapad with the roll of your wrist. “And I’ve read some pretty dry books.”

“Oh, definitely.” He fiddled with his mask, eventually slipping it off and placing it on the corner opposite to your space.

The next few hours flew by, in all honesty, loudly. It was almost like clock work: A bot would stumble in with some sort of absurd ailment (With all the stories that Aid had told you after hours at Swerve’s, your personal favorite was when Drift got his arm dented while doing backflips with Rodimus, as is the way of the Lost Light), one of the medics would sigh and take care of them. The moment they left, comments were made, and shanix changed hands. Repeat. In the end, you spent more time watching the chaos with First Aid than doing any of that oh so important paperwork (and shuffling through his issues of Wreckers Declassified, but that you two would take to your graves).

You and Aid settled back down in your respective spots after Whirl had walked in with a sword stuck in his shoulder. Without looking up from his datapad (you think), he hummed. “I’m surprised you don’t settle down in your office.”

You finish your drink with a prolonged sip. “And lose my mind trying to finish all this? Absolutely not.”

“But now you have to deal with the paperwork, and medibay shenanigans on a very accident prone ship.”

“Correction.” You point your stylus at him. “I get to hang out with you, with far more welcome interruptions than the stiff conversations I have with Megatron biweekly.” You sigh with a soft smile, staring down into your empty cup. “Something about you is just different, which is a sappy way to say that you are never getting rid of me.”

First Aid chuckled. “You say that like I’d ever wish to be rid of you.”

Those were the final words spoken before you both went back to work, and First Aid’s shift came to an end. You both got a drink from Swerve’s.

(A little extra for my first ask)

You and Aid walked out of Swerve’s laughing, with you perched on his shoulder.

“I can’t believe that Rodimus tried to go up against Trailcutter.”

First Aid nodded. “Really? It’s absolutely the kind of thing Rodimus would do. At least we don’t have to pump anyone's fuel tanks…again.”

Your eyes widened in playful shock. “Wouldn’t that be the third time this week? It’s only Tuesday.”

“Again, Lost Light shenanigans.”

“Yeah,” You started as he approached the door to your habsuite. “Lost Light shenanigans. Take care.” You waved goodbye to him as you punched in your lock code.

“You too.” First Aid waved back with a smile as he headed back the direction you had come (His habsuite was really not that far from Swerve’s, or at least closer than yours was)
