hiiii ally, thank you for the update ❤️❤️❤️

love our bi disaster fic so much, and i hope working w jack means we finally see george soon(ish)

since you have so many fics on the go at the same time, i wanted to ask if you have a particular method to keep it all organized

Hello Sweet Anon!

Thank you so much for this ask and for reading! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the new chapter of You Know Where the City Is! Fictional!Matty and Fictional!Taylor are my favorite bisexual disaster duo and I have been having SO MUCH FUN writing them- especially in that 2014/2015 time period - they were both hella messy 😂 Fictional!George will be making his appearance in the New Year 👀 as per the current outline, it looks like he will be arriving very soon... in Chapter 13 which feels almost too perfect!

In terms of keeping everything organized: I have a note book for each chaptered fic / universe (all of the Infection 'Verse fics are in one note book) and within my notebook I have an overall summary, chapter outlines, as well as random but important plot notes / continuity notes / some character background for that particular fic. Because I am old school these are all physical notebooks I got at Target and write in with a black Sharpie pen.

I also have a Google Sheets document with all of the prompt requests I have in my inbox. If they are from a particular list the spreadsheet links to the post with that list. I also have a little print out calendar where I make a note of what fic was updated on what day / if I posted a prompt fill. Is it very extra? Yes, however I love office supplies and organization so all these little organizational / planning side quests are half the fun for me! Not to say that I don't make mistakes sometimes and get X version of Fictional!Matty confused with Y version of Fictional!Matty. BUT all my little lists seem to help at least keep everyone mostly in the right universe!

Thank you so much for reading, and for this ask! Once again I'm so glad that you enjoyed the new chapter! I really, really, really love this fic and sometimes worry it is too niche / I am too much of my own target audience with it, so I just get so ridiculously happy to hear that others are enjoying it as well! Thank you again and have a great rest of your night!

❤️Ally

You ever think about how neither of them got to say goodbye?

#TSAMS #Sun and Moon Show #The Sun and Moon Show #TSAMS Lunar #SAMS Lunar #Sun #SAMS Sun #FNAF Sun #FNAF #Five Nights At Freddy's #MeaganCanDraw #I love New Moon a lot don't get me wrong but Old Moon's and Sun's relationship wasn't black and white (as much as NM wants to insist it was #YES Old Moon treated Sun horribly YES he wasn't the best person but #their relationship was also complicated and messy and they both genuinely loved each other despite everything #So much of what they did was for each other and that adds even more to the tragedy of their relationship and Moon's death #Sun and Old Moon's final conversation was them fighting #Moon's final in-person words to him were “I love you and I'm sorry”#to which Sun didn't say anything bc he was mad at him (which I don't blame him for given everything that happened in that episode)#Do you think Sun has realized this? How often does he go back to that moment #How often has he imagined himself saying or doing something different? Something that would've resulted in them leaving that bunker togethe #Meanwhile Lunar lost the person who gave him a new life and a family that actually cares about him #And he was in Moon's head for months and saw first hand how much his regrets and trauma affected him #Both of which would eventually destroy him due to the cycle of self-loathing he was trapped in #How much does HE think about that?#Anyway sorry for not posting for nearly (checks watch) two years??#It'll likely happen again #1k

feng xin gets seen as someone who's subservient and a blind rule-follower but he didn't really quite come off that way to me in the novel. if he were a total rule-follower he wouldn't cuss with such vulgar words all the time in heaven - but he clearly doesn't care about social etiquette in heaven or elsewhere. he talked back to xie lian on multiple occasions. when xie lian threatened to break up their friendship in book 2, feng xin's response was to laugh and insinuate that xie lian wouldn't survive a day without feng xin. clearly talking back to xie lian. he even punched xie lian in the face in book 4. he disagreed with xie lian's actions in book 4 when xie lian began to do things like nearly kill an innocent mortal just for insulting xie lian, bc this goes against feng xin's own moral compass.

i personally don't see him as a subservient rule-follower but as someone who deeply respects xie lian for xie lian's principles and moral compass (which feng xin agrees with bc they align with feng xin's already-present strong principles of his own). it's not blind following but deep respect out of having shared principles.

#my meta #Feng Xin #yes he left in book 4 bc xl kicked him out but not JUST bc xl told him to not JUST bc he blindly follows every order #there were other reasons - jian lan. he was going to have a family with jian lan and he couldn't financially support both jian lan AND xl #at the same time #and xl's and fx's friendship was falling apart so badly it got to such a bad point #xl had become nothing like his former self #he almost killed a mortal guy and called commoners plebs etc etc #regardless of whether or not fx should have left #friend breakups are extremely messy and complicated irl and book 4 felt realistic to me #anyway my point was that... fx is not that subservient #mp: tgcf #maybe hes loyal out of respect and shared principles. maybe he has his own principles and choose his own allegiances

timcassie is so compelling to me. they were not into each other even a little bit. it was such a messy coping mechanism fuelled entirely by grief. they were making out with each other because they were both substituting each other for kon. cassie was far more aware she was doing this than tim was. unironically, dating a girl here is one of the gayest things tim has done

#rimi talks #it is SO messy and its so fun. i don't think geoff even realized the implications but they sure are there when you read it #god... you know its BAD when modern comics have me missing tt03 of all Fucking comics #but like. todays ''tell don't show'' writers would N E V E R do something this interesting #tom taylor would be all. oh! tim we shouldn't kiss. i'm just substituting you for kon because i miss him and you were his best friend!#and then he'd have tim go oh wow cassie you're right i didn't realize that! my bad. all forgiven? yay!!! :)#GOD YOU KNOW ITS BAD OUT HERE WHEN I THINK *GEOFF* DID SOMETHING RIGHT. GOD. GOD #GEOFF MY MORTAL ENEMY GEOFF. grits teeth yeah geoffrey i have to give you this one............#its just such a deliciously unhealthy coping mechanism. theyre a MESS. theyre using each other. theyre only able to go on bc of each other #its not a romance but it IS a codependency #bart isn't even dead yet when this happens. like. he's just off being the flash.#bart (extremely depressed bc he couldnt stop sbp and hold him in the speed force forever): :| ok #not his circus. not his monkeys.#well it is his monkeys even if he left the circus. but he's too depressed to deal with it #but its so fun. this relationship is haunted. there's a ghost in the middle. they both want to kiss him instead of each other.#tim #cassie #timcassie

trains :)

this is a very rough and scribbly comic, but sometimes that's all a comic is going to end up being lmao. the guy with the jacket is darren, glasses is andy. not featured, andy's dead brother who nevertheless insists on haunting the subtext

the main thing I wanted to draw was the train tho

bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara.app

#darren and andy's brother were best friends and darren was there when andy's brother died #and made a very normal promise to always look out for andy. unfortunately. it's a little. hmmmm. suffocating! a decade later!#not that darren's been looking after andy for ten years. they were on opposite ends of a fictional planet #but in the way that andy's in love with darren and would be fine with dramatic declarations of 'i have to keep you safe' if they were #not attached to his dead brother. like. if that's the only reason he gets to hear words like that he would like to Not Hear Them thanks!#also andy is an extremely dangerous person in his own right so it's also like. hmm. hmmmmm.#it's messy. the death of andy's brother defined darren in a kind of way so the prospect of having to re define himself #without the absence of andy's brother to shape that is Unpleasant to think about #thankfully they're both going to be stuck on this fucking train for a significant amount of time! for my enjoyment!!! its train time baby!#long post #komiks tag #original tag

Cross and Dream would be unstoppable. In a bad way. Those two are both overworking machines and Blue is so so tired of having to wrangle them into resting.

#utmv #undertale au #both of them have an awful mindset about work #they think they need to run themselves into the ground for it to be good #Dream because he thinks there's always things to be done #and Cross almost as a punishment to himself but also as a distraction #pushing his body further than it can go #and getting his brain to stop thinking altogether #can't think about how much of a fuckup you are if you can't think at all #I think If Cross were to become a more fixed part of the Star Sanses' lives then Blue would just have a lot more on his plate #I do think he already takes care of Dream somewhat #but Dream won't fight him too much on it #he's more reasonable #Cross is anything but helpful and reasonable #And then if Blue ends up confronting him that's just more reason for Cross to feel guilty #because he feels like he's wasting Blue's time who's been so nice and helpful and has welcomed him so easily and he's really sorry-#and Blue's just like 'bro. you're literally doing it again just stop'#and Blue just wishes this fucking guy would chill out.#he didn't have so many reservations about tearing AUs apart #anywayyy #fun thoughts #messy ones but y'know

GOOD OMENS (2019-) / ALL THINGS END (Hozier, 2023)

#goodomensedit #goedit #good omens #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #good omens spoilers #userbecca #tusermyra #jameszmaguire #ughmerlin #rs: hereditary enemies #edits #this is super busy and probably messy as hell #but i kid you not i was so overwhelmed by all the emotions the song was making me feel re: the two of them #that i tried to put them all together in fear of leaving something out lmao #the bit about fault gets me because i see too many people dismissing #how incredibly complicated AND THEREFORE tragic their situation is #the whole shades of gray concept is so central for both the characters and the viewers actually #they tortured themselves with the limbo they were stuck on and they torture each other now with their mutual rejection #but it's all over love - because of love - out of love #that's what devastes me completely #but they will find each other again ♥

all I'm saying is that if Fitz treated Sophie the way she treated him while they were together in regards to Keefe, ya'll would have hung him

and I mean the emotional cheating with his best friend. The keeping secrets. The dodging questions. The lying. Secret missions. Keeping him a secret from friends. Letting said best friend's bodyguard insult him in front of the whole room and not coming to his defense. Secretly agreeing with the insults and denying it later. Letting his traitorous brother go without consulting him, even though it really mattered to him. Going and getting with the best friend like five seconds after the break up, after giving him the impression that she wanted to make it work with him.

listen- they're all messy as hell, and they make mistakes, but boy am I tired of acting like she was a saint in that situation.

He was unreasonable. I'm well aware.

But so was she.

she made him her first choice and then proceeded to treat him like her second.

Just bc she felt hurt by him in her POV doesn't mean she was automatically correct. And same goes for him (only difference is we never get his POV fully)

#I love discourse #I would have loved to see them work through this and stay together #but I also dgaf about the ships anymore #I just think matchmaking was the least of their problems.#they were both messy- but I don't think either was more right than the other.#she might be a teenager but so am I #and you would never catch me acting like that towards my supposed bf #like did she even like him?? seriously.#Fitz vacker #Sophie foster #Sophie foster crit #sophitz #Fitzphie #kotlc

i think stephcass could have been potentially interesting if fandom let steph be herself and not ultimate uwu girl boss erasing all her negative traits. where is her jealousy? unhealthy obsession with her crush and complete lack of understanding of the concept of boundaries ESPECIALLY if that person is already dating someone? where is her almost manic urge to push away other potential love interests (and at this point i realized she would NOT have been so chill with ives if tim had come out much earlier yikes)

BIG AGREE OH MY GOD YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS.

because i love TimSteph for the reasons you listed!! there's something very unhealthy and teen girl-ish in the way Steph approaches relationships. she's angrily jealous and she thinks about Tim in a possessive way. like she is just so consumed by him and it's meant to be male comic writers writing how they think teen girls write about boys in their diaries- but it comes off as incredibly toxic. it's one of her deepest character flaws and what endears me so much to 90s Steph. she throws herself so deeply into romance when she has it, like she's afraid if she lets go of it for even a second it's going to leave her. and god forbid you be the person she falls for bc you will never maintain a healthy relationship with someone she views as competition, she *will* sabotage it. and to me these are all pros of her character. i *like* seeing how vigilantes struggle to maintain normal relationships- *especially* teenage vigilantes. Steph struggles to balance her "regular" life with being Spoiler and what things deserve a Stephanie Brown reaction and what things deserve a Spoiler reaction. and when she's dating, it's almost *always* going to be a Spoiler reaction and she shades her relationships through that lense. it's why civilian partners for Steph never really interest me. (besides the fact they always feel forced and clunky, like Steph's recent think with Maps' older brother?) it doesn't explore the way Steph loves to her fullest extent and how far she goes when she's into someone. there's no sweet puppy love for Steph, when she's all in, she's *all* in. she will do what she thinks is best for Tim oftentimes by her own will without his knowledge or approval, and sometimes massively fucks things up for him. bc she's just so wrapped up in what she believes is best, consequences are secondary.

and sure, she maintains healthy friendships. bc most fodder with StephCass is very healthy and soft. bc it's a *friendship*. and it changes radically when Steph is involved romantically. it's why there's such a difference in how Steph regards Tim when they're just friends as to when they were dating. she loves him and he's always going to be important, but that obsessive passion isn't what drives them anymore. so it's something you have to consider with *any* Steph ship in which it's a character she's had a friendship with- that how she interacts with them as a friend doesn't necessarily inform how she'd regard them as a lover. and that's the issue with StephCass. even the StephCass content that *is* comics informed (tho, a lot of it isn't and while i don't think fanon needs to be based on the comics to be good, i do think Steph and Cass are difficult characters to tackle if you aren't at least semi-familiar with their canon content bc of how warped they are in the fandom-) comes off with such a rose-colored lense that sours it for me. hell, even on Cass' side, things she's *canonically* done have been weird and obsessive about Steph. but that's never explored.

(tbh dare i say it's something to do with the phenomena in fandom that yuri is morally pure and perfect and yaoi is always dirty and bad- there's this almost sanitizing of sapphic ships sometimes to make them perfect and cute together and while i'm not here to yuck someone else's yum, i do think it's *telling* that women in fandom never get to explore the complex depths of unhealthy and toxic love in the way men do bc if you make a woman evil, it's misogyny. if you sexualize a woman too much it's misogyny. if you write her doing morally fucked up things even with the understanding it is her canon character, it's misogyny and you're villainizing her. i can sit here and say Tim is canonically shitty at relationships and ppl will not. if i say the same about Steph, then i'm critiquing a woman and holding her to an unfair standard. it's exhausting. it feels like StephCass only ever exists to depict Steph and Cass as morally pure and in love angels kissing in the background while the men get to do complex and nuanced and fun things in the foreground. this thought has probably been far more explored by others with more developed nuance on it, but i just wanted to point it out bc it's a very real thing i keep seeing *especially* in the Batfam fandom-)

and equally i think Cass' reaction to this intensity and obsession from Steph could be interesting. Cass historically has had poor reactions to knowing everyone is attracted to her and thinking about her, so that level of intensity i think could cause some negative reactions out of Cass that would add some very layered conflict to the ship. some of Steph's most negative traits *do* clash with Cass' wants and needs. it makes the ship more fun! it puts Steph's flaws on display as well as Cass' flaws and her internal issues surrounding romance. StephCass could be so weird and fucked up. but it's been defanged by this fandom in a way that turns me off to it. i love both Steph and Cass and i love exploring sapphic Batfam ships, so it *should* work for me. but the irony of it being popular in anti spaces combined with no one being able to acknowledge the flaws either of these characters have for the sake of making them kiss just. bores me and it's sucked any interest i could have out of it. bc god forbid women just be a little fucked up. </3

#necrotic answerings #stephcass #dead dove do not eat #you're so on point anon #ESPECIALLY about ives oh my god.#you're right.#she'd also have a complex about kon and bart i think.#like it's not healthy or normal but that's just how steph was #and we can chalk some of it up to bad writing don't get me wrong #i agree there's genuine sexism seeped into how she was written up until her death #but that doesn't mean years of consistent and explored character work should all get tossed out so you can pacify her for your own comfort #like if soft stephcass is your thing i get it that's so real #but i rlly don't think it's how they'd genuinely play out if both were in character. steph is sort of terrible with relationships.#timsteph was SUCH a disaster and that was what made them *fun*#and now ppl ignore that and call them siblings as if it is not integral to both of them.#let sapphic ships be messy dear god #carmilla did NOT die for this.#let stephcass be killing eve coded. ty.#cannibalism as a metaphor for love is SO steph coded.

Mel haters are so funny to me because they quite literally have nothing to say against her besides "nooo she used Jayce for hextech!!" well, it's what happens when that's your fucking job

#also people do not know how to read #like my guy snapped at her bc he was confused and felt lonely and betrayed #and i don't think she used him in any way lmao the feelings were pretty much real but #but people forget there is a very very very blurry line when work and love get together #despite their love mel had her responsibilities and she is a politician after all #it is normal for jayce to feel betrayed and confused when they never fucking talk these things out i swear to god #their situationship is the clear consensual workplace relationship but angstier and worse and used as a metaphor for politics #'he was sunshine i was midnight rain' or something like that #their whole thing is so messy but they kinda did unconsciously use each other for their own reasons despite real love also being there #both things can coexist btw it seems like gray relationships and dynamics aren't a thing in fandoms or????#anyway mel if jayce don't want you i do i do i do i volunteer #arcane #mel medarda

immersion-breakers when playing as origin astarion for the first time:

he's the camp leader

all the companions wanna fuck him

#this camp is about to get so messy #don't think i won't make them all kiss anyway i'm already on it #so far he has kissed shadowheart #and slept with lae'zel TWICE?#both experiences were strange and kind of off-putting #bc they both give me “ i'd rather decapitate that man ” vibes #he has had that Weave moment with gale #wyll and karlach and halsin are not safe from his flirting when the time comes #idk who i'd commit him to though if i will at all #also another immersion-breaking experience is that #he's so quiet #𝒾𝒾. ooc.#ALSO HIS TENT IS GONE??#i actually wanted to cry when i saw the empty space #anyway not ragging on my handsome gremlin whom i love dearly #i'm just so used to playing as tav/durge #you get used to the companion dynamic that way #and then suddenly astarion is in charge #no minthara mention because she'd kill him

maizuru and milsiril are my favorite fucked up dungeon meshi mother figures

#dungeon meshi #maizuru #milsiril #my post #both were involved in some kind of highly skilled group (espionage/ninja work and the canaries)#maizuru and milsiril both have some aspect that makes their relationship with their sort of son innately complicated.\#maizuru has been having and affair and milsiril has biases towards short lived races #both dote heavily on them but milsiril does it more clearly in an overprotective way #their sons have complicated emotions towards them. and they’re right for that #lets see… toshiro always eats the food maizuru makes due to the love in its preparation. he doesn’t seem to have a relationship with his mok #*mom #so he was very close to maizuru #but after finding out she and his dad was having an affair he closed off from her. maizuru still heavily dotes on him however #maizuru also invented a spell to scare his child self into returning to her #and trained ninja techniques into him (I believe?)#and milsiril (though she did train him) didn’t like the idea of kabru going into dangerous dungeons #she ended up coddling him in that regard. he doesn’t know how to do household chores (but I doubt toshiro knows either LMAO)#(he probably has servants or maizuru who do it for him)#but in fighting specifically:#milsiril also trained kabru in sword fighting but unlike maizuru’s training it’s not very useful in the dungeon #now back to food:#unlike maizuru’s food the elven foods milsiril gave kabru weren’t as well received #that has to do with the different culture he’s from though #he thinks of his birth mom’s food more and had a stringer relationship with her #*stronger #despite some issues kabru says that he’s grateful for her as his foster mom (iirc)#I imagine toshiro’s probably the same way even if he wouldn’t admit it (BECAUSE MAIZURU IS FUCKING HIS DAD???)#toshiro doesn’t feel close to any of his family so his biggest connections as a kid probably would’ve been maizuru and hien.#kabru has milsiril and rin and all anyone could ever want but would never want to return to #anyways. end of essay. tldr: milfs are messy

Cave-in: A comic starring Darkrai, Dusknoir, and an unconscious Twig on an expedition gone wrong.

(Note that this takes place after the ending of the fanfic, and people have settled into having Darkrai in their lives... for the most part. Dusknoir still hates his guts and doesn't trust him whatsoever.)
