#this has been a post midnight psa

[bl00dysavior]

The other KorTac members deserve more love tbh

[quirkyfries]

My concept of Dandy rebranding Gardenview to a new glory after the neglect of handlers, going back to their roots, and creating a toon with the use of research capsules.

[Mixed with your own theory of them, Dandy has a seemingly noble goal, they are just a bit evil and cause torment to the twisted and toons about it for their own satisfaction. The entitlement and audacity of a petal thinking they deserve to keep all the tapes of their history/training/making toons safety/learning videos/mlp/PSAs... you know the usual tapes you'd want to keep.] Now your theory was added, making Dandy seem more complex and interesting. Still mostly evil, BUT WHAT IF I MADE IT WORSE!!!

{A bit inspired by Sun and Moon Show <333}

... He was unable to figure out how to make an original toon, so tragic fan-child it is! Midnight Tragedy's Child (Astro x Dazzle) are they actually dating, or not. Who knows! They might not be, and that just makes it more funner(not in shipping, in the psychological torment sense <3 )

Dandy would totally family vlog, and Truman show the entire facility!!! They will compete at one point for the kid to do what challenges, and its Dandy vlogs vs Glistens lol.

I am planning on hopefully finishing chapter 1 today <3 wish I had written dopamine. I need it for my adding brain :D

Fun fact, the ideal design for the fan-child to have two-star shape'd eyes on the right of their face, was because the hands that Tron Astro uses are in his head, under his hat probably but in his brain basically.

So at will fan-child can move their eyes around to see into people's dreams or memories or to see if they are lying, who knows, dazzle hates it when Razzles acts.

what are your thoughts on it, I can't wait to figure out Glistens relationships with rnd, vee, and Astro specifically hehe. There are rnd headcanons that they look up to glisten, and glisten get along with vee. (karaoke, or has funner lines in trivia for the viewer to keep watching than winning all the prizes)

I love canon compliments, but I adore alterations if headcanons are not canon compliments. <3

oh yeah, and some doodles I did on a whiteboard. here are some of the concept chapters:

I'm too shy to show the last doodle with Astro and Rnd meeting up with Dandy, to figure out what their 'vacation' truly meant when they see the new toon on the bench(theirs another doodle of that on paper) I'm having so much fun with writing this, and I'm almost wondering how Dandy might become a manager. Can they ever get IDs?

:P

... Since they got research from the twisted themselves... whose child is it really [Family drama]

Hope you like my chaotic concept, i have no ideas for the other characters, but I just gave Poppy an HC that they are not allowed to drink pop because of a commercial aftermath incident :D

Astro giving others nightmares by accident will always be funny <3

Have a wonderful day! I didn't have this beta read, so my words may not make sense hehe

OOOO Thank you so much for sharing this with me!!

Between Dandy mixing Astro + RND’s (research? ichor? Toon dna) to make a toon from scratch, said child’s ability and the surrounding drama in the form of family vlog and Truman show’d facility, I’d say you’re in for a pretty solid story!

I’m really curious about Glisten’s relationships with other toons, I haven’t been able to look at the new update yet lol. I know that fella has all the deets.

Midnight tragedy is super cute, I love their design! I wonder, since it’s ambiguous who their parents actually are, if they’d chosen a parent figure? Unless Dandy filled that role by default, or maybe it was a “it takes a village to raise a child” situation? Or did they spawn fully grown and only needed some guidance to mature emotionally.. don’t let my questions point to spoilers for your fic, I’m just wondering aloud!

10/10 concepts and art, I will be watching for that fic when it’s posted! You have a nice day too :D!

Writer Asks

Tagged by @yallemagne (thank you<3) ages and ages ago... Inspired to answer because I just published a fic and feel good about it hjejejfjj

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Undisclosed amount xD I've put a bunch on anon, especially from fandoms I'm not active in anymore (lbr, mostly Endeavour). Publically, it's 26 rn.

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

212040!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Elisabeth, hopefully in the future Tanz der Vampire (I've been thinking about it for like five years), in the past Endeavour (TV).

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

They're all Endeavour because those are older and in a (slightly) bigger fandom... Unfortunately I think they're not the best ones I've written, a lot of them were when I was 18 (no offense to 18 year olds) and had just started writing fanfic ajajjjd. Which is why the top 5 are on anon except for one LOL. I really do think kudos doesn't tend to accumulate "correctly" xD People like familiar tropes and time of posting also affects it, there are many fics of mine I consider "underrated"

My top five kudosed Elisabeth fics are: black as the earth (shortened title), Flights of Angels (todolf longfic), Dominion, Midnight Man & Starwalk. tbh deserved...

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, I try to respond to every single one of them so people will hopefully comment in the future too, especially if they're kind, funny or thought-provoking!!! However, I delete them if I don't like them or they're weird, boundary-crossing or TMI ahdjfjjf (has happened a handful of times - the joys of writing explicit stuff lol. PSA: do not tell fic authors about your sexual activities in the comments, i do not consent...)

6. What's the fic you wrote that has the angstiest ending?

I often do bittersweet, or "sweet but also has Implications" >:] Oh and I guess there's a lot of them where Rudolf dies at the end... I think the actual angstiest might be No Forevers (Endeavour fic) even though nobody dies in that one. Though I ruined it by writing a sequel to it, after the showrunner wrote one of the characters back into the show after like 10 years xD In my defense, this wasn't my idea!!!

7. What's the fic you wrote that has the happiest ending?

Beams of Morning (Endeavour). I retconned one of my own DIY bittersweet endings whoops... 🤣🤣😭 It's sappy, even, but maybe that's allowed. For elisabeth it's Flights of Angels because the happiest happy endings are ones that feel deserved.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No - I've gotten hate for my headcanons/meta and my video essays though (never to my face ;D) which can be fic adjacent. I guess it's because there's a better tagging system with fic, like, people won't be exposed to stuff they don't want to see as readily as with tumblr and youtube etc. And people also know how to leave other ppl alone!! Ajdjjfjf

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. The unpleasantly sexy kind 👀

10. Do you write crossovers?

Noooo, I don't really read them either. The kinds of crossovers I like are the ones that are crossovers "in name only"; ie. setting or tropes lifted from one work, characters/cast from another. Wildly incongruent characters showing up in each other's universes and interacting etc doesn't fit into my suspension of disbelief most of the time 😭

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Luckily no!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I once helped someone translate theirs into English, which was cool. Oh, and recently I've been asked for permission to translate at least one of my fics - I hope it happens because it's always an honor!! >:]

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I've collaborated on series, but I haven't co-written stuff on a deeper level. I think I'm too much of a control freak to get into it ajsdjjf, I can do stuff inspired by other people and am happy if my stuff inspires other people, but if I need to agree on plot/characterisation with someone consistently I don't think it'd work out, since no two people have identical takes and preferences with stories and characters.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

For around 2.5 years it's been todolf, it captures a lot of stuff I've liked in fiction for a longer time already >:D I can't really say whether it will be the Ship of a Lifetime for me... I mean it did make me move countries (as one reason of a few) but if someone asked me in the summer of 2016 I would've probably said [checks ao3 reading history] um. h*milton x j*fferson... so like. IT CHANGES A LOT OK ajajsjdj

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but don't think you ever will?

I don't want to doom any of my current wips to the graveyard!!!!!! I am having worries about the fate of my todolf swan lake modern ballet au fic though. The original draft outline is complete but it doesn't really fit my character interpretations for tod or rudolf anymore, it's from january 2022... Idk maybe I can one day rework it somehow with different characterisations ajsjdjf but yeah mostly it's interesting concepts haphazardly tied together but no coherent plot

16. What are your writing strengths?

Imagination/coming up with ideas, metaphors, descriptions (usually), grammar and syntax, writing crown prince rudolf really well (XDD), rhythm/pacing (usually), the way it Sounds (my brain sometimes fixates on phonetics randomly because after all, English is not my first language, and sometimes there'll be like, a really pleasing/satisfying combination of sounds in smth I think to write and I think I'm good at picking up on that, like how it flows and sounds. Idk if those preferences are universal though or if it's just me writing what I think sounds pleasing)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing varied characters, writing varied speech patterns/"character voice" also in narration, vocabulary.... I am but a humble English as a second technically third language speaker,,,, (i'm doing an english language grad school degree rn lol so i think i'm no worse than natives, not humble abt this actually, but i'm on the level of like. a not so well-read native speaker. Because most actual fiction literature I've read in my life has been in Finnish, in English I've just read academic literature, fanfic and like 10 books max! I need to read more and become a better writer ahhdhhdhf)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

No... Dialogue is a big no from me, it often feels cringe ngl ajsjdjdj. My personal philosophy is "if you need a translator's note for people to understand what's going on, don't put it in" 😅 A lot of the time different languages are also used in fic in nonsensical ways where it will look ok to a lot of people but bother the hell out of native speakers/ppl who speak the language. This is smth that can technically be done well but it's usually not aksldlldd. I think pet names and individual words can be fine but it needs to be done in moderation... I also obsess a lot over research, like, the nuances of the word need to actually mean what the author thinks it means :'D

19. First fandom you wrote for?

First published for Endeavour, first wrote for H*rry P*tter... (never-to-be-published fan comics and little stories as a young kid, like 8 years old).

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Right now it's vers l'onde souterraine... ;) I think I'm constantly improving as a writer and hopefully every fic will be better than the last!!

[ritavonbees]

saw a very weird post urging people to Reblog Everything so as to fight the potential algorithmification of Tumblr and I'm like

have you literally never unfollowed someone because they post so much it drowns out everything else on your dash? what are you talking about?

and so that this isn't just a subtumbl allow me to suggest a more effective way to increase reblogs on here:

Hey Tumblr newbies

did you know

you can make multiple blogs under the same account on here!

it's really easy!

you still just have the one dash for reading

and one login obviously

you can pick which of your blogs any given post or reblog goes to!

there's a little dropdown in the notifications tab to switch between the notifications on each blog

you can link your various side blogs in your bio if you want or leave them out, up to you!

so if you have a couple Special Interests that you don't want to flood the uninterested with (thank you for that)

you do not have to restrain yourself!

you can literally create as many themed side blogs as you want

just reblog all spider content to your arachnid sideblog and all Star Wars content to your Star Wars sideblog!

and obviously if all you want to do is give OP a thumbs up you can still just like the post, you don't have to reblog everything

bonus: a sideblog is much easier to go to when you're looking for a specific thing you remember reblogging one time than a tag or search in your main blog. that shit clunky

this has been a spontaneous midnight PSA you're welcome etc

[tcustodisart]

Just a quick psa and vent from me because it's almost midnight and I'm having a mental breakdance about this situation. If you're following me on Instagram - Apparently someone was pretending to be me (or idk what was going on because i don't have any details yet) and was scamming people by "taking commissions".

I started getting comments that I'm scamming people and after i reached out to one of these commenters they replied that there has been a TikTok aware post about me taking commissions, taking money and never responding. I'm speechless... In my entire online presence I accepted one (1) commission from a friend who reached out to me. I was never publicly accepting commissions because it always seemed like it was way too much to handle for my tiny monkey brain that can be easily stressed out by anything... You know guys how i still haven't figured out how to sell prints right??? That's because when taking money is in play i get super anxious.

If you'll see information about me taking commissions (which i don't plan to be taking in any near future because, again, i was never taking them in the first place) you'll only see it here, on this very blog or my twitter acc (@/tcustodis). From now on these are the only two social media platforms I'm going to use for my art.

GJ and ZZH Updates — December 4-10

<<< previous week || all posts || following week >>>

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

12-04 → Umbrella (Sophie’s husband) posted an essay saying he will be quiet for a while.

12-05 → Peng Lihu’s account was muted for 180 days for violation of relevant laws and regulations.

→ HBW (big Zhang Zhehan anti)’s main Weibo account was deactivated by Weibo. He is still active on side account(s) where he blamed CPFs for reporting him.

12-06 → Official day of mourning for Jiang Zemin.

→ Animals Asia made a tweet (with art by @brilcrist) celebrating the completion of Sheena’s charity drive.

→ A paid account on Weibo posted a photo of a man taken during state funeral saying that “it might be Zhang” but that he wasn’t sure (obviously to avoid liability himself), later deleting the photo and saying he was mistaken. Zhang Sanjian supporters subsequently spread the photo claiming that it was Zhang Zhehan. In case it needs to be stated, drawing attention to oneself during a political day of mourning is a huge taboo; there’s a reason celebrities and even social media and entertainment sites were completely quiet during this period. 

12-07 → The Chinese police’s official Weibo posted a PSA spoken by Gong Jun warning people about falling for gambling scams during the World Cup. [text translation] Whalers messaged them claiming Gong Jun is a criminal, ships m/m CPs, etc., to which the police responded by pinning the video to the top of their profile.

→ The brand posted a notice that their event that was supposed to happen on 11-23—the one that people had to pay 20k RMB and give their personal information to be eligible for—had been postponed because of COVID restrictions without a definite new date, and winners would be sent a gift as compensation. (Restrictions have actually loosened because of the protests.) 

→ The Instagram posted a video of “Zhang Zhehan” playing guitar.

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted his schedule for December: No public schedule at this time. Caption: “The end of the year is approaching, and the winter is getting colder. Boss @ Gong Jun Simon’s December itinerary has been delivered, everyone remember to wear a thick coat ⛄️” BGM is Hero performed by Joey Misquita. Marketing accounts subsequently reported that Gong Jun will not be having any live events this month, to which the chief editor of GQ magazine replied “?????” and “There will be more extraordinary red carpet moments,” so it’s probably safe to say he will be making an appearance during their event later this month.

12-08 → MUJOSH posted a video with the text “Hey  It's me M1129 Gong Jun  We haven't met in a long time  After the deep sea, the dangerous adventure still continues...”, teasing a new ad campaign that would release at midnight on 12-09. Caption: “After the rainforest mirroring, we finally regained contact with M1129.  It turned out that his adventures in the new wood world never stopped... 😎”

→ Fresh posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ MUJOSH posted a teaser image. (1129 kadian) Caption: “Long time no see, M1129, how is it going?  The signal is intermittent, and the video function is still being repaired...  Don't worry! Let’s have a little surprise first, the countdown is 1 day~ Rub your hands together and look forward to it”

→ Hsu Fu Chi posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Fresh posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun.

→ Honor posted a shorter cut of their previous commercial featuring Gong Jun.

12-09 → MUJOSH posted a photo ad announcing their new ad campaign with Gong Jun. Caption: “The new chapter ‘THE(RE)SET Magic Night New Way’ opens and the video is fully restored, M1129, we finally meet again!  Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long time! Isn’t @ Gong Jun Simon so handsome? Hint 😎: No sleep tonight... 😎”

Four minutes later, they posted five photo ads featuring Gong Jun. Another four minutes later, this was followed by an additional three photo ads. 

→ Colgate posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun. They later also posted a photo ad.

→ A Japanese newspaper included an advertisement for The Blooms of Ruyi Pavilion which will be airing there soon, with large text on the side advertising that it features “the big hit Word of Honor’s Zhang Zhehan.”

→ MUJOSH posted a behind the scenes video from the photoshoot.

→ Charlotte Tilbury posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun’s studio posted a douyin of more MUJOSH behind the scenes footage. Caption: “Please enjoy boss @ Gong Jun’s ’mirror‘ show!” BGM is Fighting For A Reason by Black Red Gold.

→ QuelleVous posted about Summer, a con woman and friend of Xie Yihua’s who scripted the 05-04 deepfake video. Flora later followed up explaining evidence that one of Summer’s accounts is used primarily to exacerbate strife among whalers, trying to divide the fandom further.

12-10 → Gong Jun posted the Honor commercial from the previous week to his Weibo.

→ Gong Jun posted twenty travel photos to his Weibo. Caption: “Destination station: Lugu Lake” He later posted ten of the same to his Xiao Hong Shu, caption: “Let's go, ge will take you...  To play!” and ten to his Instagram, caption: “Waiting for a long time, because I have to add a frame before each post.. 😓 😓”

→ MUJOSH posted another behind the scenes video.

→ Kangshifu posted three photo ads featuring Gong Jun.

rage of the kindhearted is an astounding tragedy.

it commands a silence, a long-awaited recognition from those that mistake it for weakness.

it condemns such broken judgement, that swallows respect as if unconditional, and consumes patience as if infinite.

it pounces at throats laid bare, long past a futile snarl of warning, chest aching with inconsolable defeat.

and above all else, rage of the kindhearted is an imminent ending.

“I never stood a chance, did I?”

“That, my love, is the tragedy of it all. Once, you did.” Spirit crouches down beside Warlock, listening to their rasping breaths. Her empathy is empty. Her words drip with hollow meaning.  “When you stood by my side; when you understood the joy and worth of the world, you had as many chances as you could have wanted. Instead, you just had to follow your destiny.”

Warlock laughs. A brittle sound, dragging and clawing its way up their smoke-scorched throat. “There is no chance with people like you. People too caught up in their own definitions of right and wrong. While you kill those that may threaten the peace, I stand alone for the innocent.” They break off into a coughing fit before determination spurs them to continue, “That truth will follow you. It will settle at the bottom of your stomach, until one day, you will find yourself overcome with the burden of your actions.”

My #1 post of 2022

PSA

Tumblr is struggling right now.

I know a lot of veteran users are a bit nervous; that we'll lose the one 'typical internet hellsite' to the 'capitalist hell' that has taken over most other popular media sites.

But that is exactly why it is INCREDIBLY important to educate the new users, and not just, try to scare them off. Education is the biggest way to gain allies and keep the site as we like it.

The site with blogs based on creativity; on stories. On art and writing and music, and NOT advertisement and force-fed content lacking critical thinking.

It's going to take a lot of energy, I know. And it's a serious pain in the ass that this has happened during NANO, of all times. But if we want to keep our safe space, it's necessary.

So if you see a user follow you, and they have nothing to their blog, give them the benefit of the doubt. Tell them about how NOT to look like a bot, and direct them to some tumblr guides.

Educate users on why we like this site, and what we can do to keep the freedom we have. And why that freedom is a good thing.

Our strongest defense is education.

Please, please reblog this, along with any and all guides you find. Share resources on other platforms. Send them to your non-tumblr friends.

Tear Stains On Asgardian Leather

Requested by anon

Request: Absolutely no pressure, but you know I'm a sucker for anything with Loki - especially maybe an Asgardian reader, who's also going through a bit of a depression and recovering from emotional abuse? If that's too heavy/complicated, I totally understand, but it'd be lovely to have Loki as my therapist. Fluff has definitely helped in the past.

Summary: After Ragnarok everyone tries to deal with the horrible events that happened. Some better and some worse.

A/N: I'm sorry I haven't written much the last few weeks. I've been feeling drained and empty and tried to take some time for myself. This is a draft I found from November and I have a couple more but I'm currently not really able to write all of your requests. I might post some short fics or songfics I wrote to help me cope if you're interested in that. Things have been complicated and I'm trying to get back on track. Good thing though, if anyone is interested, I finally shifted!

TW! Mentioned abuse, trauma, breakdowns

PSA: Do NOT copy, steal, translate, plagiarize, republish, etc any of my works on Tumblr or any other platform. Also, do NOT claim any of my works as your own. All of these works are either requests I’ve gotten that people have wanted me to write or original ideas I’ve had for works. If you happen to take inspiration from anything I’ve written and want to write something inspired by that, please a) ask me first and b) IF I say yes, credit me as inspo in your post by tagging me and link whatever work of mine that inspired you. Thanks.

PSA c/@ynscrazylife

Things were difficult at the moment. Asgard was gone and so were many other people, you were free but it didn't feel like it.

You weren't sure what to feel, what to do. Nothing was how it was but you weren't sure why a part of you still clung to that old life, that life you wanted to escape so badly.

New Asgard was different. None of the glamour and luxury, nothing more than a small village somewhere in Norway.

Thor, Loki and Valkyrie were doing their best to make the best out of the new situation but it was a difficult task.

It took some time getting used to living elsewhere for everyone but you couldn't care less about getting a new start or recovering from the traumatic events that happened.

You just wanted everything to go away and at the same time clung desperately to the few happy memories you had of Asgard. People noticed of course but they didn't know what to do so everyone just gave you space and left you alone. Everyone but Loki.

He would check in with you as often as he could, he still had to coordinate most of New Asgard and all the troubles that came with it. He would usually show up at the end of the day with some take-out and would tell you about his day, listening to yours if you wanted to tell him and always offering his support and help if you needed it.

At first you weren't sure why he was doing it, why he wanted to help but over time you began to trust him more and more, forming a bond that was based on trust, honesty and care.

His presence would make you feel at ease and some days you would manage to tell him bits and pieces of what was going on. He would listen very carefully and try to help you as best as he could.

Sometimes after you had cried and clung to his shoulders while he had held you, he would carry you to bed and would make sure you had beautiful dreams that night, staying with you until you fell asleep. In the mornings there would be breakfast waiting for you with a small note attached.

Those small gestures meant a lot to you and after some time you would get better. Sure there were still days where everything seemed hopeless and you wanted nothing more then to cry and just stay in bed.

But Loki was there, every step of the way and he would make sure you knew that as well.

PSA

Okay guys so I was going to try and do some Christmas stuff for this upcoming holiday like I did for Halloween. But in all honesty I have been feeling burnt out from writing requests and still have quite a bit to go in my inbox. 

Idk if I will get all of them filled this go around and I would really like to be able to write some things that I enjoy since it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to write independently from requests.

As a result my queue only has 6 things left in it, enough for the rest of this month and only 2 for next month. After that I am going to take a break from writing requests and possibly clear out my inbox. I will post what requests I have filled after the New Year begins. 

I will also be hosting a Confessions Day (for us in the US) in December that way those that live out of the states can participate for once. I just haven’t decided on a day yet. 

Read the -> Rules

Requests are -> Closed

Confessions -> December 2021

What’s In the Queue?

December

- Midnight Confessions - Vanifinwë x Glorfindel

- Reunions in Valinor - Gwindor x Reader

HomeBound, a TTP Fic

PSA- I don’t know how to do the “read more” thing and this is a long fic so, apolgies in advance for this long post. Also I wrote this at midnight in my notes app with absolutely no editing so, read at your own risk.

Summary: It’s been weeks since the Crown Prince of the Heartlands, Prince Wensclaus ran away from home. During his absence, he’s taken a spunky aspiring knight under his wing to distract from the pain of his disapproving parents. Although, anyone can tell it’s more than that. He genuinely cares for the kid. As for his own family, however, they are not content to lose him. Featuring aro/ace future Wensclaus, a non-binary TTP OC I made named Law, and an older, wiser, but generally unchanged Joan.

————-

Although it’s been years since Wensclaus has been to the Hinterlands, there’s something familiar about the way the wind whips at his hair, heavy with the promise of rain. There’s something familiar about the dull, incessant roar of leaves in the breeze, and there’s something familiar about the dry crunch of dirt beneath his heels as he bites his lower lip, drawing blood as he parries and ripostes a rather impressive attack to his left side.

This place definitely had never held the warm glow of home to him, but the landscape tugged at Polaroid memories all the same.

His assailant, far more used to the northernmost elements than Wensclaus, circled at a wide radius, letting limp their wrist in exertion and dragging the point of their sword in the dirt. Their face was leveled in an annoyed glare (it was rather early). Beneath their tunic, their chest rose and fell in quick succession.

“Careful,” Wensclaus muttered, “We just had the blacksmith sharpen that.”

His adversary lept back into action, once again assuming a rather bold offensive strategy, yet left their form with much to be desired. At any moment, really, he could send them toppling on their back, but this skirmish wasn’t staged for the purpose of an expedient victory.

Although they only employed a handful of successful attacks on Wensclaus, he couldn’t help but to find himself surpised by their skill level. That, or the fact that without the rigid background of swordsman training, they were afforded the ability to combine techniques in a fluid manner without so much as a second thought. It was a skill that he himself envied.

The sparring match between the pair often drawn a crowd of onlookers, as entertainment in the Hinterlands dwindled after Barrabas returned to the Midlands. However, the mist on the plains had yet to evaporate and the cock had yet to crow, so they were alone in their back and forth dance.

Or so they thought.

Through the mist, an imposing horseback figure drew closer and closer, regarding the fight with vague curiosity. She watched the epic climax, and subsequent end, as the younger swordsperson unexpectedly threw Wensclaus off balance and tumbling to the ground.

“Do you yield,” Law said with a false air of suave.

“Ah, I’ve been bested,” Wensclaus replied in a similar play of false airs, “I yield, I yield! Spare me, lest I suffer a worser fate.”

Law laughed and held out a hand to Wensclaus and pulled him up.

“Good work with your offense,” Wensclaus praised, “Your footwork has improved greatly.”

“While yours has only grown sloppier since you’ve been gone.” The mystery spectator cut in. Her horse drew closer in the mist, and with horrifying realization Wensclaus realized it was his Aunt Joan. She dismounted and strode towards the pair.

Wensclaus gripped his sword, unsure if he wanted a fight or a reunion.

The head knight in question stood with an innate intimidating posture that made Wensclaus feel like a child again. However, that clearly wasn’t the case; Wensclaus had grown into his gangly limbs and assumed a self-assured posturer, and the constant eroding factor of time had etched wrinkles into Joan’s face and dusted Grey into her hair.

“Look, It’s the no-fun police,” Law scowled, crossing their arms, yet hiding slightly behind Wensclaus. He only sighed.

“Your fathers have been worried sick for you, Wensclaus,” Joan said softly, “they miss you terribly.”

Wensclaus kicked a stone, “Thats very inconvenient for them. I hope they feel better.”

“Wen-“

“No.” Wensclaus shouted. He wanted to continue, but he then became hyper-aware of Law, himself over seven years their senior, ducking behind the heavy mass of his cloak and gripping it slightly. He sighed. Not here.

“Can we continue this somewhere else?”

——

After a whispered argument that warmed Wensclaus’s heart but ultimately convinced him of Law’s protective yet stubborn nature, he found himself seated across the table from Joan in the only tavern in town and Law sulking outside as they waited for the adults to finish up. A daunting mug of root beer sat in front of him, which was much more interesting than the steely grey eyes of his pseudo-aunt.

“I can’t believe they sent my babysitter to come pick me up,” Wensclaus began, deciding to skip the small talk and poke the sleeping elephant with a stick. Or whatever the idiom is about.

“Wensclaus,” Joan began.

“Like, ok, they have a kingdom to run, but I’ve seen my Dad pull holidays out of his ass so we could have a vacation. They could have come themselves-“

“Your fathers did not send for me, Wensclaus.” Joan cut Wensclaus off with an impressive gulp of definetly-not-root beer. “I doubt they even know where you are. Not that they haven’t been searching, of course. As far as they’re concerned, I’m farther up North to check up on a dwarf problem your Uncle Darling is having.”

Wensclaus’s face drew up as he straightened in his booth. “Wait, then how did you-“

“It just made sense,” Joan replied, “You experienced perceived rejection and to cope you returned back to the place where you first received rejection. The little knight you found, however, was a nice touch. They’re coming along quite nicely. I’m proud.”

The explicit praise did not fly over Wensclaus’s head, “I’m that predictable, huh?”

“You’re not predictable, just human,” Joan shrugged, then at Wensclaus’s face, continued, “That’s just what Cecily has been telling me. And for the record, I’m not telling them you’re here until you’re ready to be found.”

Wensclaus leaned back in his chair and stared down at the frothy mess of his root-beer.

“They all miss-“

“It’s just hard.” Wensclaus said, without emotion. Joan remained quiet this time.

“It’s hard when, you know, everyone is talking about you, like, oh look at Prince Wensclaus! He’s like, I don’t know, in his mid-twenties, and tied down to no one,” Wensclaus laughed dryly, “His parents, they were married by age eighteen. Basically invented love and all that shit. How massive of a failure do you have to be to not love anyone when those are your role models?”

“You must be pretty fucked up.” He wiped a tear from his eye. “God it’s just... it’s so hard. I’m nothing like them and... it’s so hard.”

“You love me, don’t you?” Joan said, “And what about your Aunt Cecily?”

Wensclaus regraded Joan strangely, “Well, yeah, but not like-“

“What about your Uncles up North, Darling and Percy?” Joan continued, “Or your little knight?”

“Joan, it’s not like-“

“Your fathers?” Joan pressed, “Do you not love them?”

“I do, Joan, but that doesn’t count!” Wensclaus snapped. A few patrons across the bar glanced over. Face flushing, Wensclaus lowered his voice and relaxed his clenched fists, “That’s not the point, it-“

“You’re right,” Joan said, “The point is that you feel angry because of the high expectations inadvertently placed on your shoulders by your fathers because you’re different. But to say you love no one is so... far from the truth. Love takes many forms, and they can all be fulfilling.”

Wensclaus gave no response, instead favoring the mug in his hands than making eye contact with Joan. He was holding himself back from lashing out again.

“When I came out to my father, as both gay and a knight,” Joan began, “He tried to fix me.”

This caught Wensclaus’s attention.

“He set me up with all kinds of guys,” Joan laughed, “even a pig farmer. Enrolled me in all these classes for lady-etiquette and had me fitted for a ball gown corset. I was so angry, I ran away.”

“But you and your dad get along great,” Wensclaus said, “He’s over at your and Aunt Cecily’s cottage almost every weekend.”

“Now we get along great,” Joan corrected, “But this was all when you were very young.”

This satisfied Wensclaus’s confusion.

“I guess in the end he was afraid for me and afraid for himself,” Joan said, “Everything I was doing he had never seen done before, and that was scary. When people are scared, they do dumb things, like threaten to estrange their children.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Wensclaus asked slowly.

“When Cecily found out about what my father had threatened, she marched her little sequined self down to the pub he was hiding out in and gave him a piece of her mind,” Joan continued, “After you left, that’s exactly what I did to your fathers.”

“What?” Wensclaus finally cracked a smile, “You yelled at my dads?”

Joan shrugged, “It’s not the first time. I love them, Wensclaus, I really do, but they can be incredibly thick sometimes.”

That sobered him up, “Yeah.”

“They reacted the way they did not because they didn’t love you anymore, Wens,” Joan reaches across the table and grabbed his hand, “They reacted that way because what you were describing was something they had never seen done before, and they were scared for what that meant for you.”

“That still doesn’t make it right,” he replied.

“You’re right. It was wrong, which is exactly why Rupert has written and rewritten his formal apology to you several dozen times, so you know that in fourteen different languages that he loves you no matter what,” Joan replied, “And Amir is currently drafting legislation to nationally recognize aromanticism as a romantic identity and provide funding to revise public service announcements to include it. It was wrong of them to react the way they did, and they only thing they want in the world is to take it back.”

“Wow, I-“ Wensclaus suddenly found himself speaking through tears, “I don’t-“

“I’m not going to force you to come home before you’re ready,” Joan said steadily, “But I want you to know that when you are, there’s a place for you.”

It was embarrassing, the way that Wensclaus began sobbing in the tavern like that. The eyes of half a dozen hitherlandians landed on his shaking frame as the head knight of the heartlands held him to her chest. She ran her fingers through his hair, just like she used to when he had nightmares about the Despair. But this was so much worse, because this was not about an enemy he could defeat; rather, it was the floodgates of relief mixing with the festering hurt that had been building in him ever since he stepped foot out of the palace gates. Dimly, he was aware of the soft reassurances his aunt whispered into his ear, but in his determination to speak through his tears it all was mush.

“I want to go home,” he said hoarsely, and he felt the same relief within Joan.

—-

As the door to the tavern opened, Law jumped up from the ground and ran up to Wensclaus. However, after they took in his tear-stained face and Joan’s arm on his shoulder, they stumbled back, as if flinching in pain and disbelief.

“So you’re going back?” Law seethed, “Just like that?”

Wensclaus made brief eye contact with Joan, who released her arm from his shoulder and walked off with a nod. He returned his attention to Law and wiped his eyes.

“Yeah,” he said, “I’m going back. I can’t hide here forever.”

“But they said-“

“And they realized they were wrong,” Wensclaus finished, “I want to give them another chance before I cut them off entirely. If Joan can do it... then I guess I can too.”

His rationalization only caused his mentee to spiral further, “A-And what are you going to do, huh? Just.... leave me here?”

Wensclaus’s face drew up as an emotional knife stabbed cleanly through his heart. This scene felt all too familiar, except never from this perspective.

“No, no, of course not. No. Never. You’re going to come with me and Joan,” he said, placing his arms in Law’s shoulders in an attempt to ground them, “I mean, only if that’s what you want.”

“I won’t fit in,” Law said quietly, “It will be... weird.”

Wensclaus laughed, “I didn’t fit in either. It’s not that weird.”

In a conspiratorial tone, he added, “Plus, everyone there is weird. Just wait until you meet my Uncle Darling.”

That caused Law to smile as they held their hands on top of Wensclaus’s on their shoulders.

“Wensclaus,” Joan called out from her horse, “Little Knight.”

The pair glanced up from their conversation as Joan trotted closer.

“You coming?”

Wensclaus straightened up, leaving a hand in Law’s shoulder.

“Yeah. Let’s go home.”

Trying to decide wether i stay up all night and fuck shit up or if I should just go to bed and debatably fuck shit up in the morning.

[paper-carnation]

Tw for long post and maybe sad thoughts! And others not so sad. Midnight thoughts

Habit said in one of his PSAs something along the lines that Flower kid is stupid and worthless. And like, Habit, outside this game, I wouldn't disagree with you. But here, in this game, I don't love myself, I don't hate myself, it's just me and what I have to do.

To help everyone and feel good about myself, to be amused when I lie or say what they don't want to hear just to see their reactions, to understand their sadness when I refuse to help them, and completing all achievements/endings, even if it pains me a little.

This is your world, ofc Habit. But this world has given me a sense of control I've been lacking. I even decide how this ends. And after satisfying the completionist in me and suffer, I still decide I will always go to help you.

This game, I hope is a stepping stone to, you know, get better.

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

it’s been a long time (because uni has literally eaten me up), but here’s finally the next part of my “The Taylor Swift song analysis series”! In which I, a  German girl  majoring in English, attempt to analyse or interpret Taylor’s songs to  shed more light on a) her incredible song writing skills and b) songs  that are generally very underrated and deserve more attention. (here’s the link to all my song analysis)

Today’s song is 22 (since I’m still doing the songs on RED in chronological order) and this whole project really made me think about this song in a new light, especially in the context of the overall tracklist, so I’m very excited to share my interpretation :) (also, as always, a short psa that this  interpretation is extremely subjective meaning that’s just how I see the  song! also that I’m no native speaker so I probably will not be able to  get any cultural references in any of Taylor’s songs - but feel free to  add them in a reblog :) )

“it feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters and make fun of our exes” this feels especially contrasting if you campare it to the prior track, All Too Well: the night of her 22nd birthday was that moment in time during which she could let loose and while she still thinks about her ex (otherwise she wouldn’t make fun of him), it is definitely more lighthearted than the heartbreak she has been enduring

“it feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight to fall in love with strangers" continues this aspect of so desperately wanting to forget about her heartbreak for one night, she even “falls in love with strangers” to keep her ex-lover off of her mind

“we're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time, it's miserable and magical” captures this feeling of your post-teen years; you have some really really amazing times but also you don’t know anything yet, you’re thrust into this adult world which at times can feel really lonely so it’s both great (”magical”) as well as horrible (”miserable”)

“tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time" feels like her saying, “FINALLY I can let go for once and not think about my hurt” and as if that moment was a little time capsule during which, for once, everything felt good

“I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22, everything will be alright if you keep me next to you” is actually kind of sad (but just hidden beneath a happy pop beat), to me it has a sense of okay I need someone else to forget about the heartbreak, and as long as I can keep distracting myself, I will do fine, I just need to make sure I don’t have any time to think

"you don't know about me, but I'll bet you want to, everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22″ at the same time, there’s this heightened sense of self-confidence (”I’ll bet you want to”), this not being afraid to take risks because as I mentioned previously, it feels like a night during which everything simply will turn out alright, no matter what

“it seems like one of those nights, this place is too crowded, too many cool kids (Who's Taylor Swift, anyway? Ew)” to me shows her need to get away from the crowds where everyone knows who she is and just wanting to be herself and not famous singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, at least for this one night

“it seems like one of those nights, we ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming instead of sleeping” they’re “dreaming” which ties back to her feeling like everything that happens this night will work out simply because of this magical feeling that is attached to it

“tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks” is stating plainly what I mentioned earlier: After the devastation that she experienced (which she expresses in All Too Well), there was this one night, this one break from her pain, that one moment where everything felt good for once

“you look like bad news, I gotta have you” this, however, ties back to that feeling of heartbreak: In All Too Well she talks about a love that was very much “bad news” too, but here she seeks someone who, again, is not good for her and she is even aware of it, yet she does it anyway (to me kind of feels like her being used to guys treating her badly so she thinks that’s what love is supposed to look like). could also be (and most definitely partly is) a sarcastic sense of self-awareness, like how people say she only ever dates guys so that she can write songs about them so she is like “all of you think that is me anyways so I might as well play with that image”
