[astrasng]

thinking about…

bf!seeun is the type who facetimes you out of nowhere, immedietly showering you with compliments about how pretty you are, making sure you already ate that day.

bf!seeun is someone who just can't stop themselves from buying things for their partner, so this is why one day you go over to his place, seeing that it's overflowed with presents and sweets all just for you. Hey baby,look what I got you here!

bf!seeun who sometimes sings you lullibies to help you sleep better because he can feel you toss and turn in the bed.

bf!seeun who can't stop taking candid pictures of you. everytime you take a look at him you see him taking pictures of you and your smile,seeing that his wallpaper is immedietly changed to the newest photo.

bf!seeun calls you about a bunch of things whenever he needs to decide what to do. shopping with sumin and yujun and those three can't decide what to buy? you're the one telling them. trying to decide if he should work out or play with hunter? you're the one telling him to go and rest, but he only smiles and hangs up the phone.

bf!seeun who doesn't mind when he has to take care of you when you are sick. doesn't matter how much you resist, he only sticks to your side more and more, making time to treat you and your sore throat with home mode (by his mum) soups and dishes.

bf!seeun who practically rolls over your body whenever he wants to get out of bed, not having enough energy to normally get up from his position and do it normally. he's weird but you love him

SLIGHT NSFW

bf!seeun who almost lost his mind the first time he saw you in his clothes. his body on fire as soon as his eyes notices your tighs peaking out from the big shirt he gave you, feeling like a pervert as he's staring at you for so long.

bf!seeun who actually feels like a pervert when he even watches you dress up in the morning. he doesn't want to, he just happened to catch a glampse of you changing in his bathroom, with open doors, so he had to...make sure everything is alright.

bf!seeun whose hands are always on your waist when making out, can't contain himself from touching your body somehow. "No no no, stay close to me. Please."

bf!seeun is the type who bites your lip while kissing you,getting lost in the feeling of your lips on his.

bf!seeun is the type who holds eye contact no matter what, keeping his eyes only on you. he's sitting across the table and you're blushing from his stare? he only wants to keep looking at you to see you flustered by him.

bf!seeun is the type who gets easily jealous when he sees you with another member. he feels his skin get irritated by only looking at you laughing with one of his hyungs, then later that day he shows you how important you are to him in his own way.

bf!seeun is someone who kisses you out of anger when arguing. he can't stop himself from pulling you closer to his body and kiss away all the pent up frustration you two have. you always forgive him.

important!: this is pure fiction, the act in this story is by my imagination and not based off true events. please do not copy the work.

a/n: i'm so sorry for the delay of this one too, I'm trying to keep up with the things i have to write, but i had to manage things in real life too.

[hitachiincest]

some of the most fictional twincesty songs in anime/game media, brought to you by tumblr user Hitachiincest. 💞

(note: list excludes rin/len songs, as 1. they're technically not twins by default [they're mirror images] & 2. this would be way too long)

"Ai=zo" by Robin Lafitte & Jack Mouton ("now lets fall... together" "the love and hatred upon our necks are the scars of our oath... True Kiss." a song tht begins with 1 brother [jack] homoerotically biting into his willing & eager twins neck to transform him into a vampire... a scene so charged that i had to include the clip from the anime here instead of the lyric video bc its just sooo.. [note: they may be yrs apart physically bc of Vampire Stuff stopping physical aging but they very much Are twins])

"Bokura No Love Style" by Hikaru & Kaoru Hitachiin (the song ever from the legends themselves. "right in front of you, i chat with other girls. i want you to show jealousy on purpose. [...] did i make you too mad? lets hug & make up <3" "You are mine.. I am yours... forever." like... PEAK. hitachiins u will always be famous. Iconic. hitachiincest the twin ship ever.)

"Falling Into Eternity" by Ryui & Toi Shiramitsu ("There is nothing more i wish for than to be able to hold you" "two hearts in the world" what if i cried. what if i cried Right Now. the shiramitsus story is so emotional & this song is so good for them. rly only makes sense if u know their story tho. the line abt praying makes me lose my mind. cw for somewhat implied religious abuse, btw)

"Twin Wedding Vows" by 2wink / Hinata & Yuta Aoi (fellas, is it 1ncestuous for 2 twins to marry the same person. a song that, without context of the mv or the fact enst is aimed at yumes, makes it seem more like they're marrying each Other instead if u exclude the last line. [someone in the youtube comments even said the song could be abt each other, but bc they were an anti, they said "platonically, u weirdos". despite the song literally being abt romantic love & marriage. but even They see the underlying possibility of it being abt the twins singing to each other. waow. if only tht person wasnt so Dense.])

"Heart Prism Symmetry" by 2wink / Hinata & Yuta Aoi (a song abt the struggles of 2 twins being considered 1 in the same but 1 of them wanting to be seen as/be individuals & the other supporting them even if its hard... "even if we become different, let my soul help yours, because you'll always be my treasure" "every version of you is my treasure... Just be yourself")

"The Road Not Taken" for The Traveler & Their Sibling [Aether/Lumine, Hotaru/Sora, etc] (god its a tearjerker. they just want to be together... tht's all....... the scene with flashes of them caring for each other through both of their povs looks so romantic.... shoutout to Lumine's jpn va for saying they seem like lovers here. she was so real for that & also Correct. "though the nights are long and dark, I'll see you shining bright... and no matter where you are, you've come with me this far, showing the way when all еlse falls apart.")

"This Is My Love" by Cozmez / Kanata & Nayuta Yatonokami (the twins who went through thick & thin... rain, snow, hunger, poverty, hardship... but through it all, they had Each Other. "im still singing this is my love, it wont change this is my love, dont want it to ever leave.")

"Better Days" by Cozmez / Kanata & Nayuta Yatonokami ([SPOILERS AHEAD] a whole mv abt the brothers essentially going on a string of dates after being reunited & gaining the money they so depserately needed & never had in their lives... aaa... kanata's loving gaze at nayuta is so adorable. a victory well-deserved & a happiness well-earned. nothing in the lyrics is necessarily romantic, but the mv is amazing & adorable & id say makes up for it by showing how much they love each other. im biased as a czmz liker let me show them off ok orz)

"Just One Kiss" by Twinkle Bell / Satsuki & Mutsuki Kururugi (a sexuaI song thats technically just supposed to be about the listener as a fanservice song BUT theres no line that hints abt it not being abt each other... so if u turn off ur brain for a sec, u can imagine theyre fucking each Other instead. Love Wins. "kiss and sin! our tongues rubbing together... a big bad beast is what we’ll become")

"Telepathy" by Belphegor & Beelzebub (demon twins admiring each other in a fluffy cute slow song... they're each other's, truly. & they even ask each other in the song if the other is singing abt them, ehe. "you hold so many charms that can make people look at you, and they are all for me only" "your gentleness is 'good', your muscles are 'mood', and they are all for me only")

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

"Chachacha Meccha I Love You" by Twinkle Bell, for being a love song sung by twins that can easily be imagined as being abt each other bc it doesnt exactly have any lyrics that allude to a 3rd party but at the end of the day is just another yume fanservice song & sounds too chipper/exactly like one.

"Two Of Us" by Twinkle Bell / Satsuki & Mutsuki Kururugi (a song abt how both of them are two wings of an angel (or smth like tht? hard to understand! there's no official or fan tl) & two matching hearts, together forever. google translate accidentally translates the chorus as "we're just two people, so we're in love" & i kno thats incorrect (it's abt them being 'together' not 'in love') but waow googles a kururugicest shipper real... lol. this 1 isnt very romantic imo but. cmon let the kururugis have some spotlight. their series is forgotten enough as is. "fate may test us, but it wont tear us apart!")

Dead Ends (CreepyPasta + Marble Hornets x OC)

Is blood truly thicker than water? Which is more important? If family anything more than individual's one shares genes with?

Clara Heart is a young adult girl that wasn't dealt with the best of cards. With humble beginnings, she starts a new life with her half sister. What happens when a friend from the past comes by offering strange opportunities?

This story is fan fiction and has romantic subplot. It contains themes of violence, gore, cursing, abusive relationships, sexual harassment, and plenty disorders. More tags will be added as the story continues. All characters belong to their rightful owners, the only ones I own are as follows: Clara Heart, Soraya Heart, and Jennifer O’Riely

Heads Up:

Hey! This isn't my first time writing, but it is my very first time posting anything. Please be patient with me while I learn through trial and error. I am open to criticism, I know I'll definitely need it, just please be polite. I am also dyslexic so I know this fic won't be perfect. This story has been on my mind forever now and I have been dying to put it in writing. I am creating this story with the help and influence from my cousin and we are both happy to share it with you.

Just to clear things up, I know that both Masky and Hoodie are from Marble Hornets and weren't proxies. In this story all of the events that took place in Marble Hornets are cannon. The things that I changed was the fact that Brian was brought back to life and eventually both Masky and Hoodie were dragged and brainwashed into becoming proxies.

I will add more to this chapter if necessary, sorry for yapping so much. Enjoy the story.

Chapter 1 Once met, never forgotten..

(Last heads up for the chapter, I picked the titles for chapters off of stoneletters.com)

Somewhere in West Virginia, off of route 52 was a quaint little dinner. Although today it was seen as a shelter from an unrelenting storm. Inside, the scent in the air was sickeningly sweet. Mindless chatter filled the space and waiters and waitresses buzzed about. Just because it was a rainy day does not mean that the old Walkman Diner wasn’t busy, it was always busy. The sticky checkered floor, the red booth seats, and the old, framed band posters came straight out of the 80’s. The diner had been frozen in time despite it being the early 2000’s.

The rain pelted the windows of the diner hard and people rushed in seeking shelter from the storm. In walked three individuals who looked worse for wear. The first man, was maybe around twenty two to twenty four years old. He was average height, maybe slightly taller than average. He wore a beige jacket with brown stripes on the sleeves and a blue hood peaking out. His black jeans were torn and looked washed out. His hair was brunette and had a slight curl to it. Although it was hard to tell due to it being soaked by the rain. His eyes were dark and he had slight stubble that lined the edge of his jaw. His skin was pale, so pale he almost looked grey. He looked relatively average other than the bandage that took up most of his left cheek. There was also a scar cutting through his left eye brow. His expression was tired looking, although every now and then he would quirk his head to the side or grimace.

On his left side was a much taller man who wore a pale yellow hoodie. His hair was hot toffee color and was a little on the shorter side. His eyes were a pretty hazel, and seemed to flick back and forth between his two companions. He seemed to be a little more fit then his counterpart’s more slender figure. He had a wider frame with broader shoulders. He wore a big smile on his face that revealed a little gap between his two front teeth. As he mentioned something to his pale friend his smile grew wider. He had a skinny, pencil mustache that had a slit in it right above his cupids bow. It was hard to miss. The man was maybe in his late twenties or early thirties.

On the right of the man with a bandaged face was a slightly stockier man. Her wore minuted orange jacket with his hands in it’s pockets. Underneath he wore a black T-shirt that went well with his dark blue jeans. His jaw was clenched and his chestnut gaze narrowed at the man in the yellow hoodie. His hair was black and he had noticeable side burns on his face. Ebony hair sweeping in front of his eyes, it looked damp. Like his yellow hoodie wearing counterpart, he was also maybe late twenties or early thirties.

Quickly seeing the new individuals, a young waitress briskly approached them, picking up three menus on her way over to them. She was average height and had brunette, wavy hair that was put up in a messy ponytail. Her overgrown curtain bangs bounced as she walked, her hips moved elegantly with each step. A tired smile pulled at her lips as her honey brown eyes glazed over the rain-soaked individuals.

“Hello,” she greeted, “Welcome to The Walkman diner. Will it just be the three of you?”

“Oh uh, yes!”, the man in the yellow hoodie answered with an excited politeness.

“Alrighty, just follow me.”, the waitress kept her tone soft and sweet as she led the men to a red booth near the entrance.

The pale man sat across from his two companions. The man in the yellow hoodie shared simple pleasantries with the brunette waitress before she left to go get their drinks.

“Tim, you already had two cups of coffee before we left this morning. Are you really going to have another one?”,the man in the yellow hoodie questioned with a small chuckle, he had a subtle southern undertone.

“Don’t piss me off Brian, it’s bad enough that we’re soaked from being outside.”,Tim stated begrudgingly as he shot Brian a scowl.

“And now we’re gonna enjoy some decent breakfast.. hopefully.” Brian countered with an joking tone as he spared a glance at the dirty checkered floor.

“If -FUCK- I find a -shitWHORE- b-band aide in muh-my food again, I’m gun-gonna smash -FUCK- her fuh-face in it.”, the pale man spoke with an unamused tone as his face rapidly turned to the side. The quick movement caused his neck to let out a popping sound.

The brunette’s jerky movements and random outbursts of cursing drew in the attention of others in the diner. Waiters and waitresses side-eyed him as they passed by. People seated close to the three men would not-so-subtly glance over. This caused Tim to meet the gaze of the nosy onlookers with a glare. The dark circles around his eyes and the scowl that sat upon his face conveyed his message all the better: Mind ‘yer fucking business.

“Don’t worry Toby this diner is in a much better area, plus it’s packed in here so it must mean the food is decent.”, Brian reasoned with what seemed like an ever present smile.

“Or people are just trying to get out of the rain.”,Tim mumbled from underneath his breath.

Soon enough the brunette waitress came back with their drinks. She set the hot coffee down by Tim, a water by Brian, and a glass of orange juice by Toby. Brian was the only one to say thank you, although the rudeness of the other two individuals didn’t seem to phase her. She was indeed a seasoned waitress. Briskly, she took out a tiny note pad and a red pen, ready to take their orders. Toby, ordered scrambled eggs with two hash browns and some toast. Brian ordered a full stack of pancakes while Tim ordered a western omelette. Once again, the waitress was off to go place their orders.

“She’s gonna spit in your food.”,Brian said with a hearty laugh as he took a sip of his water.

“I’d like to see her try.”,Tim shot back as he narrowed his chestnut eyes at the black coffee set before him.

Toby simply took a quick glance at the glass of orange juice set before him before picking up the glass and drinking about half of the cup. Shakily, he set the glass down on the table with a content sigh.

“For someone so worried about finding shit in their food, you really sucked down that OJ.”,Tim stated nonchalantly as he rose his cup of coffee to his lips, ready to take a sip.

Toby was ready to clap back with a snarky response, although a tic beat him to it. His face grimaced before his head once again turned to the side in a rapid manner. Once he recovered Brian had already started talking.

“Let’s refrain from being snappy towards one other, we’re gonna have to put up with each another for at least a month.”, Brian reasoned as he glanced at Toby before his hazel eyes landed on Tim.

“Better not be for a month, Aibell better wrangle up these new proxies and do it quick.”, Tim spoke, the unamused tone in his voice was evident now more than ever.

“She will, she knows one of them doesn’t she?”, Brian inquired with a raised brow.

“Yeah, -shitWHORE- sh-she wus-was in the ps-psych ward with -Watch the road- the ol-older one.”,the pale man said as he once again involuntarily grimaced.

“Aibell said she’ll be easy to convince, the younger one she wasn’t so sure about.”,Tim said as he took another sip of his coffee.

The brunette waitress came to the window by the kitchen and tapped her foot impatiently. It was rush hour and all the extra people in the diner made the place humid and hot. Her honey brown eyes would flick from the crowed diner booths to the kitchen window every couple of seconds.

“Bobby are any of my orders ready?”,she asked with a nervous tone, her brows nit with worry.

“Cool it Clarabelle.”, a middle aged man called back with a gravelly tone.

“Clara, it’s just Clara.”,Clara chastised as her eyes narrowed in the direction of the voice. Her frustration and impatience were bubbling to a head.

“With them thick thighs you could have convinced me that you were a cow.”,he teased as he let out a deep chuckle before continuing, “If your gonna look like one, I’ll name you after one.”

Clara rolled her honey brown eyes, a small frown tugged at her lips. The brunette was used to the unprofessional comments, especially from the cook, Bobby. She did have a slightly curvy figure, but nothing he said was anything she hadn’t heard one time or another. Finally, a man with a round face appeared through the kitchen opening, placing three plates of food on the counter. He had baby blue eyes and a balding head of greasy blonde hair. His nose was fairly large, and he often had a wide smile that revealed yellow, chipped teeth. A smile that he now presented to Clara.

“Better get moving Clarabelle, them people are hungry.”, he taunted in a southern tone before disappearing back into the kitchen.

“Fuck you.”,the brunette snapped in a hushed tone as she grabbed the plates and placed them on a tray.

She walked back into the front of the diner, the humidity felt somehow worse then before. She flashed one of her fellow waitresses a quick smile as she passed by. The rain was still coming down heavy and her shift had just begun, it was going to be a long day.

[greensagephase]

So!!!

I haven't tried to draw Miguel in a while, and I'll definitely redraw it in the future, but here is a sneak peak of what my Miguel may look like.

I struggled so, so much with his features, you have no idea. Seeing him in 2D was... different. I had to learn to love him, but after closing my lap and then coming back to it after a break, I just couldn't stop thinking about how cute it had turned out! Especially the eyes, which were the most difficult part.

Now I just want to kiss his forehead! Look at him! He looks so soft, I can't

Also, I finally caught up with your story and ??? The most beautiful fic I've ever read for sure. I'm literally defending fanfiction as a literature genre with your story. Catching up was in my to do list alongside reading The Player (Fyodor Dostoyevski). I swear to you, I was skeptical of fanfic being an actual genre before because I grew up reading "classics" and I didn't have much exposure to more recent literature up until a few years ago. Most of the things I read in my free time are still at least a century old, but now, thanks to you, I'm the most avid defender of fanfic among my friends. I even used to be shy or even ashamed of saying I read fanfiction, but now, every time someone mentions Miguel O'Hara, I speak about this fanfic I've been obsessed with and how it's long enough to rival published novels. I even have a top of favorites moments of Miguel being vulnerable in your fanfic that made me say :

(Una disculpa por la grosería)

Anyway, enough rambling lol

I'm so happy you decided to take a break during the holidays! Everyone deserves a break during this time of the year. I promise I'll finish my drawings soon.

Take care!

Bye!

Omg, pookie!! YOUR MIGUEL LOOKS SO SWEET, SOFT, AND TENDER!! SUS OJITOS TIENEN TANTA TERNURA 🥺🥺 You drew him so well, coralskybunny!! And I understand what you mean 🥲 I drew other things before because I used to do bullet journaling when I was in school, but Miguel gave me the urge to want to learn how to draw people so I could draw him (his chokehold on me is unreal), but omg… This man is so HARD to draw! And, his eyes especially are one of the hardest (and beautiful) aspects to draw!

But you captured them so tenderly 🥹🥹 ALSO, I love the way you drew his hair, too!! He looks so soft and cute, and I also want to give him a forehead kiss (if I may). Your art is so, so amazing!! I hope that if you continue drawing, that you feel comfortable enough to share your progress in the future!! 💖💖💕

Also, omg!! I’m happy you caught up with NC and that you’ve enjoyed it. There was a lot to catch up on, so thank you so much for reading it!!🥺 And also eeeee, hehe!! I’m glad that my fanfic changed your mind about that. I know there’s people who have their personal opinions, which they’re entitled to, but what I don’t agree with it is how some people look down on it as if it’s the worst thing to exist when there are fanfics 100 times better than published books, like modern fiction books that get a lot of hype with not only bad writing, but also problematic elements. I’m not going to get into more detail, but I’m glad that my story has given you a newfound appreciation for fanfic writing❤️ Hopefully, you find other fanfics that you enjoy in every fandom you find yourself in because each fandom has great writers to support!!

SFEIJFIEFJHIDJFIE THE MEME (no te preocupes por la groseria)!!! 😭😭 Me, too, pookie, me, too!! I hope that Miguel in ATSV gets to show more vulnerability than we’ve already seen. I can only hope, and beg Sony! 😭🙏🏼 But thank you so much for that lovely comment! I’m touched that you have favorite moments from the fic that you wish became canon — that’s one of the best compliments I’ve received!! 🥹

And thank you!! You’re so right. Everyone deserves a little break this month to unwind, spend time with friends and family, and celebrate. I hope you’ve had a break yourself, and if you haven’t yet, that you soon have one before the year ends! I look forward to seeing your completed art and progress, which btw, is inspiring me to start drawing again! :))

Thank you for the ask and for sharing your art!! Pls take care, pookie, and I hope you have a fantastic New Year’s!!💖

Alondra❤️

You basically like any crap shoved into the games and class it as peak writing, even if the same issues from the comics appear in the games XD It's too funny. You shat on Gens remaster but have since changed your mind that it's ok because the games are so pure. You're opinions are invalid XD

>You basically like any crap shoved into the games

pretty much

That's because when the games do it it's actually done well. Because Sonic Team are competent talented creatives who know how to craft enjoyable pieces of fiction.

You are falling into the trap that all Sonic Comic Fans are stuck in, which is that they are appraising the PREMISE of the comic and acting like it's automatically good based entirely off of that. They look at the PREMISE of the Metal Virus Arc, and go "ohhhh that's so DEEP and MATURE" but then don't actually do any literary analysis of the execution of the story as it is written. They just think the premise sounds cool and then stop using their brains.

The PREMISE actually doesn't matter. The premise is in fact the least important part about a story. What matters if how they pull it off. What they DO with the premise. What are the themes? How's the characterization? How internally consistent is the logic of the narrative? Is it an engaging piece of fiction for the audience?

The comic doesn't have any themes because the writers think themes are for 8th grade book reports. The characterization isn't even consistent with ITSELF let alone the video games it's supposed to be adapted from. There is NO internal logic to the narrative whatsoever. And it's fucking boring poorly paced plodding bullshit.

The video games have rich thematic nuance that can be dissected for hours. The characterization is always on point. The story always makes perfect sense on its own terms and with respect to the stories that preceded it. And it's always a fun roller coaster from beginning to end.

THAT'S the difference. The Sonic video games are made by ARTISTS who want to make COOL SHIT. The Sonic comics are made by IDIOTS who have NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING.

I also don't remember changing my mind about the Generations remaster, I have no idea what yo'ure talking about.

Hey, there!

Hi, hello! I created this blog to share some of my stories, ramble, and feed my SDV Harvey brainrot (it is really bad!). You can call me Mimi or Nebraska, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.

I haven't written fiction in a really long time, and I have never written fanfiction before, so all of this is really new to me. I'm also not an English native speaker, so if my thoughts sometimes don't make sense, it's because they are not in Portuguese.

My stories, just as well as my blog, are +18, so minors do not interact.

Below the cut you can find some more information on it. See you on the other side!

My Works

First and foremost, here's the link to my AO3.

My main series is called The Edge of Town, and it can be divided into three years so far. Please, mind the color scheme to know the rating of each story, it's the same used on AO3.

Year One

Between Her and the Creatures of the Earth

Chronologically, the first story of Genevieve and Harvey I have written so far. He visits her at the farm in a Fall afternoon and is faced with some realizations about her.

False God (WIP)

Harvey's Year One birthday. Their relationship is new and delicate, and they decide to take an important step together. Chapter Two in development.

Year Two

If we died tonight, I'd die yours

Set in the Summer of Year Two, this is just a steamy one-shot that I wrote for fun as I was still developing these two idiots as characters. A little sneak peak into their established relationship.

Year Three

A House in Pelican Town (WIP)

My main story, set in Year Three. Things have changed, and not for the better. That's all I'll say. (Sometimes, it's all I know.) Currently on hiatus.

Recently, I had the chance to gift some lovely stories to dear friends. You can find them here:

A Good Morning, for KellyCataclysm (Harvey x OC Lyra)

Over the Midnight Moon, for Henarikat (Mr. Qi x OC Nora)

I was also gifted a lovely story, which you can always find here.

Playlist

All of my stories (and my life, honestly) have been deeply influenced by music, so I have developed a playlist to go with my main fic. You can find it here. Anyways, what you should know is that everything about this story is heavily inspired by Ethel Cain's A House in Nebraska (like, everything, really. Just pay enough attention). If you get the vibes, you know we're not really light-hearted around here.

Chapter One | Sweden

Summary: Several months after sharing a longing, intimate moment with your boss, Newt, you find yourself in the heart of a thrilling adventure.

Will chasing smugglers, taming dragons, and awkward family dinners be the key to pushing the two of you closer?

Author's Note: Here is the long awaited, long requested sequel to my fiction "Stumped"! Please, to all those who had previously enjoyed the story and requested this, accept my sincerest apologies.

I never knew how to continue the plotline until now. Rest assured, this multi-chapter fic will have everything you could ever desire! Depending on how this goes, I may change the rating. (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

Disclaimer: I have made this work non-compliant with canon for several reasons. Including a) lack of desire to be associated with films 2 & 3, b) for flow and story purposes, and c) because I do not condone J.K.R's behavior and wish to use my writing to bring joy despite the hurt she has caused.

Ao3 - General Audience Word Count: 1099 Warnings: None

"And so it was that you were left to sketch and think. It seemed that Newt was not the only one in a predicament, as confusion too clouded your mind. You were stumped. Stumped as to why Newt had seemed so pleased with your staring, why his smiling never ceased, and why he had chosen to keep you in his company after that. " - Stumped (2020)

/////

The air was hot, the wind scorching, and no relief could be found in any amount of water you carried. Despite the great altitude, no snow decorated the cliff faces and mountain peaks. Each breath only served to fuel coughing fits, what with the dryness and heavy musk of dragon. By all accounts, the world should have been covered in white, howling winds should have whipped ice across the craggy stone, and you definitely shouldn’t have been in a simple blouse and trousers. 

Yet, here you were. Wand drawn and a thin cloth covering your mouth, without any form of elemental protection. You’d always imagined your first trip to Sweden would be for recreation. Though, you supposed, searching for a smuggled Swedish Short-snout hatchling was more exciting than an office job at the Ministry.

“How are you fairing, darling?” A smooth, strong voice called to you.

You looked up at the man, watching him clamber up another outcropping of rock. Newt was in as much a state of discomfort as you were. His once voluminous curls fell, soaked with sweat, into his face, his shirt sleeves were rolled up above his elbow, and the cloth he held to his face was grimy. However, there was a crinkle at the corner of his eye that told you just how much he was enjoying this. You couldn’t help but return his smile though he couldn’t see it. 

“Perfectly content, Mr. Scamander! I only wonder at the heat, it is unexpected!” You tried your best to keep your voice level. 

“She must be in distress,” He took a moment to catch his breath. “I haven’t seen any blue flames yet, so she is still a good way up.”

“I suppose she’s turned much of the mountain side up there black.” You caught up with him and leaned on him for support.

“And any foliage to ash,” There was a fondness in his voice. “It’s likely how she escaped her captors to begin with. Many smugglers are unprepared for the heat of a Short-snout’s fire.”

You nodded and flicked your wand. The charm was quick to take effect, cooling both of you instantly. You would not risk cleansing your attire or casting a verbal spell here. The sweat and dragon musk clung to your clothing like a natural camouflage. It would be hard for the dragon to detect you, much less so if you kept your spell-casting to a minimum. 

Newt thanked you once he’d finished taking a sip of water. The synthetic waterskin was enchanted to keep its contents cool and permanently full. He offered it to you shyly, bumping it against your hand gently. 

“Drink.” His voice was soft, gentle. He wouldn’t command you to drink against your will, but there was a heavy tone of suggestion there nonetheless. It was your turn to thank him.

You took the waterskin, careful not to let your touch linger too long. Ever since that day in the suitcase, when your eyes had met and the world slowed to a stop, things had been different. Awkward. It never hindered your work, never interfered with your capabilities in tending to and drawing Mr. Scamander’s creatures, but it was always there. For you, anyway. It didn’t seem as though Newt understood how wholly that moment changed things for you. He was too sweet, too gentlemanly, to think of it as anything other than a moment between friends. 

“Try to keep up, Mr. Scamander.” You forged ahead, unable to stand beside him for longer than was necessary. 

Eventually, your trek up the mountainside proved fruitful. Newt once again led the way up. The heat only worsened, but that was to be expected when the stone underfoot was blackened and cracked. Any plants that may have grown from crevices in the rock were turned into small piles of ash, blown about by the wind. Which, as it happened, was not wind at all. The second thing to catch the eye of one Mr. Newt Scamander, was the flurry of movement from above. He placed his hand out behind him, palm facing you, and brought a finger to his lips. Then he pointed up.

Above, on an outcropping of stone, giant wings beat the air and battered against the rocks. Occasionally, chunks of char and sediment were flung down or broke off. The sound of the dragon’s beating wings paired with the gusts of wind against your skin. You had not been listening to the rage of mother nature. Instead, it had been the hatchling. With a look of concern, Newt pulled out two sets of thick, rubbery gloves and black, sturdy goggles. No words were exchanged as each of you donned the new accessories. The fire-resistant material felt strange against the skin, but otherwise did not offer much inconvenience. Just as Newt turned to lead you up to the outcropping, a massive chain swung down. It rattled evilly, smacking down across several sharp protrusions, and barely missed the Magizoologist. 

Newt pressed himself flush with the mountain and tugged you with him. “Careful! She must have tangled herself up when landing.”

The chain rose up through the air once more and now it was obvious that with each attempt at flight, the flapping was accompanied by rattling and creaking. Before, you had watched the pretty, pale creature take off into the sky but now she was grounded. A plume of searing blue flame spread out and up into the sky. The smell of burnt hair caused your stomach to twist. 

Looking to the man currently under the employment of the ‘Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau’ you began, “Mr. Scamander–”

He said your name, “It’s Newt. Please. Newt is far shorter and works best in cases such as these.”

You started again, “Merlin’s beard! Alright, Newt. How do you propose we get up there?”

“It’s far too dangerous to go up now, she’ll knock us off or roast us.” He chuckled lightly. “But it’s too dangerous to leave her up there alone. Those chains have to come off.”

“How do you calm a Swedish Short-snout?” You leaned closer to him as another, smaller chain whips by. 

"You know," He looked at you. "I am not entirely sure."

Hm is it even good to like Tsukasa? Or ship him?

Why am I getting so many controversial asks today😭 No hate to you ofc, I just think it’s funny. I’ve talked abt SA/incest, problematic ships, and now I’m about to talk abt the ethics of liking villain characters. I guess I should thank you guys bcuz I did say I liked talking abt more complex subjects…

Yes it is completely fine to like Tsukasa, I’m surprised I even have to say this. People have about a million reasons for liking villain characters, watch any interview of an actor playing an evil role and you’ll see them passionately talk about how fun it is. Tsukasa is not a real person and therefore none of his crimes are real, he hasn’t hurt anybody and he is incapable of ever causing any real harm because he does not exist. A person’s taste in fictional characters should never be used as an indication of their real life morals, the only people who think otherwise are people who actively engage in fandoms and have therefore lost touch of the way normal people consume fictional content (aka people like me but I try to stay grounded in reality)

Personally I love characters that are morally reprehensible. Even with characters that are morally good, I tend to be fascinated by their flaws (ex: Kou and Nene). I like Tsukasa because he causes conflict, which gives the story a plot. If he weren’t there things wouldn’t be as interesting. He’s actually my favorite Yugi twin, he’s very entertaining to read about. I love how he just does shit to mess with people, he’s so creepy (affectionate). Characters that do really bad things are fun to analyze, they help us conceptualize certain behaviors without glorifying any real life perpetrators of those crimes. The majority of the time, there is more to characters than their worst behaviors, and fans may like them for other reasons as well

As for the shipping, no there’s nothing wrong with shipping Tsukasa with other characters. I know the fandom as a whole disagrees with this but those takes lack a lot of nuance. What if people are shipping him with characters he hasn’t hurt??? Or shipping him in AUs where he’s more chill??? Also keep in mind that the rhetoric of “mentally ill people shouldn’t date because they’ll hurt someone” is used to oppress mentally ill individuals irl, particularly people with personality disorders. Everyone is capable of growing and changing if they choose to do so

Even if you think it’s problematic to ship Tsukasa, it’s weird to assume everyone who does so is a terrible person. It’s even weirder to assume that simply liking him makes you a bad person

Idk sorry I’m getting so heated about this, none of this is aimed at you specifically. This is just a really important issue to me, it disturbs me to see so many people conflating fictional killers/abusers to human beings. It is the peak of chronically online behavior and I hope to see it dead in a ditch someday. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon…

[ilkkawhat]

I can't believe it's almost been a year since AW2 was released. It really changed my life. For better or for worse? Who can say, but I've been having fun.

lol it's so surreal to me that it's been less than a year that I bought and played Alan Wake 2 (one month past release, in November) purely on a whim because I saw people on the silent hill subreddit talking about it and someone even made a meme about "friendship ended with silent hill now alan wake is my new best friend" and I kid you not within just a few days my life just...changed entirely.

I have a lot of depression and anxiety and somewhere in 2023 things just...went wrong and I stopped creating. stopped giffing, never thought I'd write again and drawing lmao forget it, that shit's been hard for me to do ever since a very discouraging experience back when I was maybe like, 11 or 12. stopped going on tumblr, had given up on discord a long time before then and became a miserable ghost doing nothing but burying myself in work in what i will admit is a toxic, overwhelming and stressful environment. I still played games, still watched shows but nothing was like. Sticking with me, I guess? Not like to obsession levels and minus some good vacations I was just...empty.

And playing Alan Wake 2 for the first time was a legit terrifying experience for me--not on the levels of the first time I played Silent Hill 2 maybe (legit locked myself in my room and put on my lamp in the middle of the day cause of the sound of footsteps behind me in that game lol and my dishwasher at the time sounded like that one chugging sound in the apartments) but the dread I was feeling as I got legitimately lost in the woods of Cauldron Lake and turned around in Coffee World (having basically explored it all before triggering the parts where the enemies spawn in) and the basement of Valhalla Nursing Home was thrilling and I was excited to be playing something that was so disturbing and mind bending and emotional, too. Not even knowing the story of Alan and Alice, my heart broke during Alice's final tape. Not knowing Alan's character outside of what I saw in the second game, his "fuck it" moment where he went back into the Dark Place felt so heroic. I felt an odd sense of nostalgia watching the Koskela brothers commercials, like I had known them my whole life. Alex Casey (both the FBI agent and fictional detective) is my favorite kind of wise-cracking guy who has a heart of gold, the old guy who I wish could be my dad. Tom Zane was that mysterious wild card that you know under the surface has something sinister, unsettling esp with his manipulation of Alan but is just so fascinating to watch. Of course I saw so much of my obsessive self in Rose with her shrine for Alan. Saga's time in the dark place felt so real to me, I cried and still cry every time I read that note from her mom at that part of the game (I know you can read it sooner but it packs a bigger punch with Saga's fight to get out of her own mind.) All of the characters quickly stole my heart and ran with it and maybe it was over a few days, maybe it was all at once the floodgates just...opened within me.

I started writing again. First with a character that I never thought I'd write for again because at the time, even just thinking about him legit hurt me. Then I started scheming up fics for Alan. Then I started giffing even from self-captured gameplay footage that I don't think I've ever done before. Then I started drawing in my Alan Wake journal--a journal which, I had not done since the peak of my CSI obsession during my teenage years and even then it wasn't to the extent of what that journal is now (which admittedly, has not been filled out in quite a number of weeks and maybe that's partially cause I tend to journalize myself on here too) And then one day I couldn't contain it anymore. I started sharing again. I don't talk to anybody really like, ever outside of these asks and occasional replies but I truly never thought I'd be part of a fandom again. I worried I'd fuck it all up again (still worry about that) for myself, or others. Or both. But all the kind messages, the kind tags, the awesome people I've started following because of Alan Wake, I wouldn't give any of that up.

And of course things branched off, crushing so hard on him I got obsessed with Ilkka. I played some of Remedy's other games (still working my way through Max Payne 2 and Quantum Break very very slowly) and went back to the first Alan Wake, of course which if I had known about earlier or had an Xbox I'm sure I would have loved it back then as much as I do now. Hell I even platinumed that and Alan Wake 2 and as someone who is notorious for not finishing games other than like. The Legend of Zelda series and playing some other endless games...think it says something that I've managed to beat and complete (I always do the rhymes, stashes, lunch boxes, every playthrough) Alan Wake 2 almost 10 times now.

I was happy. I'm still, for the most part when I'm not at work, happy. Call it what you want, a delusion brought on by a distraction of obsession, a dangerous escape threatening the part of me that is still rooted in reality in the way that like, what if I become too crazy about it where it blinds me to certain things or experiences or chases people away from me because I'm too weird about it (a very real thing that has happened before)

But damn with all of that...I'm having fun with it too.

Personal Media Recs #1

Heyyyyy! I'm going to start off this list with just my faves that I can recall off the top of my head :D

Anime

One Piece!!-I truly feel like this is the greatest piece of fiction out there. Its so incredibly real and it does such an amazing job of talking about current and historical events. I GENUIENLY feel like if you think its a dumb story you're just not that smart...Of course I don't think its perfect but the story is so solid and Luffy is the best main character. I only started watching it a little over 1 year ago and I've seen all 1000+ episodes and am caught up in the manga too. I could dedicate a whole book as to why I love One Piece...but that's for another time.

Full Metal Alchemist-A classic, that I have to rewatch because its been so long but the writing is so peak.

HunterXHunter- Again, the writing and character development is amazing. It was my number 1 for yearssss until I watched One Piece. This story holds a big piece of my heart still.

Fruits Baskets- Like the second anime I've seen, the 2001 version and everything..so so so amazing. I wanna be Tohru Honda when I grow up.

Music

Capable Of Love by PinkPantheress- Honestly I just wanna recommend all her music because it resonates with me so much. I love her lyrics and her overall sound. My modern music goat to be honest.

Time Lapse by NCT 127- So I left this house a while ago but 127's music was a big part of my growing up so I have to mention them here. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this song and I could feel the chemicals in my brain changing.

Atlantic by Kelsey Lu- The entire album this song is on (Blood) is another favorite of mine. It is really true art to me and this song in particular is so beautiful. Really go listen to the entire album its toooo good.

Give You the World by Steve Lacy- Y'all I'm a yearner. Like he gets it for real. There's not even a specific person in my mind when I listen to this song but I get the feeling of wanting to do the most for someone you love, but that's something else I could talk about for a long time.

that's all that I will get into for now, i dont watch many movies to be honest i need to start reading real books again(while its still legal)

i also don't want to flood any fandoms tags with sutff like this lol so im gonna tag my username with other broader tags

[is-jan-jan-is]

Best comics by publisher:

I am bored and autistic and gay and so I've compiled an objectively subjective list of the 'best' books from each publisher. You're welcome, America.

IDW-honestly the current Star Trek run is phenomenal and we all love TMNT but I gotta give it to Atomic Robo.

Scout-Metal Shark Bro is so good that it honestly skewed my expectations for the entire publisher. They truthfully have two solid lines and the rest is an odd marketing campaign. The Black Caravan stuff was fun, though.

Boom!-SIKTC is undeniably amazing and 'We Only Find Them When They're Dead' is objectively top tier but for me, it's all about Coda. The art, the writing, the straight dude getting dunked on by his orc paladin wife-perfection. The first issue of the continuation just dropped and reading it was like returning home.

Ahoy!-Penultiman is pretty good but I think 'The Wrong Earth' is clearly their best title.

Valiant-hear me out, hear me out. I've collected ALL of Valiant's reboot, 2012-present. Unfortunately I must report that peak Valiant is X-O Manowar: Retribution. 1993 was a good year for whacky sci-fi comics. There is a scene wherein Aric of Darcia proclaims:"he must be like those men who prefer other men. I do not understand these men; but damn, do they make the best wizards!" That's peak fiction.

Dark Horse-look Hellboy is great. It's so good that I almost gave it to Mike Mignolia just on merit and industry influence alone. Unfortunately, Jeff Lemire exists. Black Hammer is perfect in every way. MIND MGMT was a strong second.

Image-Astro City. The characters are deep, emotional beings. Their stories breathe in the most human way. Most other titles conflate grit with maturity while AC makes you feel without several arcs of trauma porn. Also, im happy to see creators who remember that comic books are the home of wackiness. Its a slice of life hero series-10/10. Also Alex Ross. This (image) was annoying to choose because-despite suffering the unforgivable scourge of Robert Kirkman- Image has so many other good titles. Bitch Planet, Savage Dragon and Spawn (obligatory, obvi), Rumble, Chew, Outer Darkness, Descender/Ascender, etc .. not to mention Radiant Black. I still want to give it to Saga. Due to all the confusion with inage/wildstorm/dc having some claim to Astro City I almost skipped it entirely which is a shame but, yeah-Astro City.

TKO Studios-honestly, I'm not sure that this company is still kickin'. They were a fun little experiment though, with several enjoyable titles. I can't say any of them really blew me away. But, if I had to pick a 'best' I'd give it to 'Sentient'. Jeff Lemire can do no wrong.

AWA-they're too new for a selection to have any real meaning but 'The Resistance' is pretty good. It's been a couple years and I hope they produce something else that's quality because E-Ratic was a pretty big let down.

D.C.-Crisis on Infinite Earths. It's a given. There is something to be said about the cultural impact of Crisis. Originally, 'crisis' stories were crossovers of varying stakes. The comic gods(Perez and Wolfman) changed the game with this one. Also,every Crisis story which follows was similarly silly and serious. The pseudo science wackiness and over the top theatrics gets me every time. No other comic company gets it right. D.C. has been getting progressively better and better these last couple years, especially now with the phenomenal 'Dawn of D.C.' stuff. But if I was stranded on an island and could only bring one D.C. title it would be Crisis. ('83 New Teen Titans is of course a strong second)

Oni Press- their Rick and Morty stuff was a guilty pleasure (because it's really quite good but that means I have to spend money on Rick and Morty) and 'The Sixth Gun' was well made. Regardless, their best title was clearly 'Pink Lemonade'. Its chaotic indie fun that doesn't make sense and doesn't have too.

Massive/Whatnot Inc: these guys are really new, started 2022 I think. Not really sold on them yet but one of their first titles, quested, was lots of fun. Pretty small selection so far but what they do have is quality. 'Best book' goes to Plot Holes. Not only did Sean Murphy give us the most tolerable Bruce Wayne, he also gave us this creative joyride. It's equal parts wacky and sincere and best of all, it's in the Murphy style. Even though its early on in the run it's one of those titles you look forward to. throughout the month.

Marvel-Marvel peaked in 1999 with Earth X. Don't get me wrong, I love a great deal of Marvel books. Al Ewing's Ultimates (NOT Bendis) was great. Personally, my favorite Avengers story was the Celestial Madonna saga of the sixties, but Waid's run was great(obvi) and Hickman's was too. Hickman's Xmen stuff...also happened. Cates and Jason aaron had good Thor runs. The first and last of Aaron's avenger arcs were great. Peter David's many 'Spider' runs were fun and Dan Slott sure does exist. The Sam Wilson cap runs were all phenomenal, especially the Symbol of Truth run-and Kelly Thompson's run on Carol was one of the best ever. Good Marvel books have been dwindling lately but Jed McKay's 'Avengers' is honestly one of the best books out there. Unfortunately, none of that good stuff comes close to Earth X. The prose, the thorough examination of human nature, the Alex Ross of it all. Earth X was an ode to Marvel lore which read better than most of Marvel history. 'Nuff said.

[ssruis]

31, 33, 34, 49, and 50 for the pjsk ask game :3

31. Favorite event?

Oh man this changes All The Time… for non mixed events it’s probably a tie btwn it’s on wonder halloween/smile of a dreamer/OHE but I feel like once I get more caught up or have to reread an event for analysis my mind will change again

33. Favorite mixed unit event?

Let’s Study Hard is so peak... Incredible mizuki and an moments. Mizuki/Rui enjoying themselves at school. Akito is in hell (always funny). Toya consistently being hysterical. All the card stories are fantastic. Tsukasa fail moment. Nene is even there for a little bit. Kamiyama crew my beloveds.

Special shout-out to doll festival (tenmas my beloveds) & pandemonium (self explanatory) which are also favorites

34.Mixed event lineup you want?

+ I want an emu/tsukasa/minori/saki/kanade event so badly… I think putting kanade in an event with 4 people who genuinely do not have an off switch is the funniest idea ever.

+ I also really want an event with the leaders.

+ an emu/airi/mizuki/Luka/saki event (pink gang)

+ or a toya/shiho/nene/kanade/niigo kaito event where there’s like. 3 words said. They all just Vibe.

+ an event with tsukasa/shizuku/an/akito (+ any other character who is competent just not like. Academically.) where they have to do a trivia competition or some other intellectual event & it’s shaking up to be a huge flop but they all pull through with their different areas of knowledge

+ event with a bunch of random characters but NOT tsukasa. and they all meet amami seiichi but have zero idea who he is. Tsukasa hears about this and dies inside.

+ siblings event…

49. a hc that came out of nowhere and has no basis in canon but it's ingrained into your understanding/portrayal of the character?

Mostly inconsequential hcs here & if any of them are contradicted in canon uhh no they aren’t </3

+ Rui on ssris is both incredibly inconsequential and also canon. To me.

+ Emu and Tsukasa both have adhd but Emu is unmedicated (& doesn’t really need to be she has systems that work)

+ rui sleeps curled up like a cat, Tsukasa sleeps sprawled out like a star fish, emu clings onto whatever’s closest when she sleeps, and nene sleeps on her back with her arms folded over her chest like a corpse.

+ I saw someone say they had the hc that tsukasa chose his room because he likes to see/hear that other people are home and that stuck with me

+ emu is scary capable of starting a long conversation with anyone like she’s incredibly good at figuring out what you’re interested in/can ramble about and asking you questions about it. This actually has basis in canon but I like to remind people.

+ I think I’ve talked abt it on here before but I think tsukasa having a fictional character crush on the normal virtual singer kaito when he was younger & not realizing it is an incredibly funny idea. He’s like “yeah idk why I just used to really like the character. Whatever (doesn’t analyze this further even when the wxs sekai manifests).” Wxs Kaito knows this but he’s not saying shit because it’s not relevant anymore but it DOES make him side eye tsukasa incredibly hard whenever tsukasa is like “these must be normal best friend feelings I’m feeling towards rui.”

+ technically rin and len being twins is a head canon but I’m sorry that’s so stupid they’re twins to me

+ nene experiences gamer rage. Wxs operate under the assumption that she doesn’t really get Super Angry until they’re at her house and see her die to a boss in a fromsoft game/fail a platforming section for the 30th time and she’s Seething.

+ mmj could survive if they got stranded in the wilderness. Would they make it back to civilization though? Only if they don’t trust shizuku with directions.

+ emu & mizuki fashion buddies… gestures at area convo where mizuki is like she seems like she has good taste. I also just want them to be closer friends.

+ rui listens to video essays/informational podcasts/documentaries while he works and this is (partially) how he’s gained so much knowledge about random topics

+ saki is capable of making the most intricate woven string bracelets of all time & will make them for her loved ones based on their interests.

+ shizuku can play “old people” games (mahjong, mancala, etc) scarily well… don’t play against her or you’ll lose…

50. A hot take?

I think I say my hot takes often & without any restraint so it’s hard to throw one out that I haven’t mentioned before uhh

+ fanbase has a misogyny problem. Who’s shocked (no one). Not even a hot take but I see a lot of people get mad when this is said like. please look up what an implicit bias is.

+ I don’t trust people who only talk about tsukasa with any character takes (including ones about tsukasa they straight up Do Not Get Him) because they’re incapable of viewing other characters outside of their relationship to him. I also don’t trust them in general & find them irritating. & this is coming from someone who talks abt him a lot.

+ you Need To Interact With The Canon Text because if you rely solely on how the fanbase portrays characters you’re going to walk away with the completely wrong characterization. Also the stories are good so you should really be doing that anyways.

+ actually very unhelpful and irritating to reduce female characters down to like one trait and then pretend you’re a fan of them bc 90% of the time the trait is wrong. Nene for example I see so many bad takes on because people think she’s a girl boss (???) 24/7 hater (??????) who never says anything nice about her friends (??????????)

ADVENTURE TIME - Raise The Sword

"Changing is our normal state. Even if we're not changing on the outside we're changing on the inside constantly. There's some stuff about me that I've been ignoring for a long time. I'm afraid of that stuff. But it's part of who I am. As long as I know the shape of my soul, I'll be alright."

I'm glad this show was a part of my life. It really felt like I finished an unfinished chapter of my childhood. The show felt so surreal to little me. People made out of fire falling in love with people with flesh and bones, stretchy dog, talking computers, candy people, vampires, surreal magic, princess kidnappers- how was this show even allowed to be made. Cartoon Network never followed a proper sequence, little me thought. But I'm sure I couldn't even tell in my late teens which episode comes after the other. The show is absolutely banging with creativity, chaos and absolute mind bogglers. That's Adventure Time. A story of change and acceptance through hilarious mind bogglers and moments of absolute chaos.

I'm still heartbroken knowing that the show got cancelled and they had to rush the ending- leaving so many plotholes unexplored. They had this amazing setup, amazing build up that I'm absolutely sure they'd wrap up in a satisfying way but yes, acceptance. Happens. 10 whole seasons. Love poured in animation and story writing. The heart put in some of these episodes make you emotional. Episodes like The Bucket, Escape from Citadel, Breezy are absolute peaks of character development and story telling.

You can't forget these characters. Characters who got a millisecond worth of screen time are brought back, implemented into the story and wrapped up beautifully. James Backster comes to mind immediately when I say this. My favorite character turned out to be BMO and Finn after all.

I loved every second of Finn's character arc. Starting as an ingenuous hero of 13, beating up monsters with his best friend and brother, Jake- going on adventures with not a thought of the world. "I'll kill it, if it's evil." It was naive and fun to watch. But I love that the show went down a path to actually convince the viewers that childlike creativity isn't the only thing they have. One after another Finn is thrown into difficulties in life. How does our child hero react? He reacts in a very human way, like all of us. He's heartbroken, sometimes disheartened, hopeless and even obsessive. But in the end, he has a good heart. A really kind heart, capable of making bad decisions too. He's Finn the Human. What he solved with fists now he solves with understanding and care. The whole arc with FP, finding out his Father doesn't care for him anymore, losing his arm, fighting his abandonment issues head on, Fern- all of it is just absolutely beautiful. Who knew I'd get fond of a cartoon character whose face you can draw with 5 pencil strokes.

Finn and Jake's brotherly bond is something that brings me peace. This show put something so important yet neglected as a centerpiece of the show - platonic love. How beautiful is it to just care for a person and cherishing the bond you have. I love how happy this show has made me feel. I'm smiling even when I'm writing this. I'm sad that the show was over. I'm sad that it wasn't wrapped up properly the way it deserved to be and instead they just had to work with the constraints some higher up official put on them. But, I'm happy.

I was just watching old clips of Adventure Time, and I was in awe how much Finn's voice had changed. He's 13 when the show airs and 17 by the time it ends. The show really let him grow with the people around him instead of keeping him stuck in a certain age to please some part of the major audience. I'm glad they chose to tell a story.

Marceline's songs, Time Adventure, Come along with me will ring something in me every time I hear a glimpse of them. The old Tree House art in my desk will remind me of all the memories it holds. I still find it absurd how fictional characters can affect you in such a surreal way. Like they don't even exist. Why do you guys even have a long lasting effect?

When I was watching AT, I made a list of all the episodes I loved. I finished an amazing episode and I noted it down. I looked back on that list and I'm glad I can't remember what half of them portrayed. I can dive right back in with hopes and excitement. I hope it stays right where I left it.
