Current Plans + Musings

I don't plan on playing Exedra to the degree I did for Magia Record, or playing it at all. Because of that, I won't be taking an active role in the community and archiving anything for it. Of course, if Exedra has like amazing gameplay and stories then this is all subject to change, but for now I think I'm done with phone games.

The two youtube channels will stay up and I'll check em periodically to make sure there aren't copyright strikes against the content. I've saved all my raw files, especially for the battle animations, so I can remake them in the future if the music ever becomes a problem for some reason.

Google Drive will stay up until Google rots away. I haven't recorded footage in a long time (as in stories, I do for the character doppels and such), but I'll upload things if they're sent to me.

Magia Union Translations still plans on translating things and making videos, especially leading up to the end, but also for after the game is over for whatever wasn't made in time. I'm not sure what form this will take in the future-- if it'll be manual captions added to the videos or not, but I know it WILL happen.

As for this blog, I'm not going to delete it or anything. However I'm going to be taking a step back. I'd like to say that I'll do liveblogs but I mean... *gestures at blog* I've been saying that for years and the only one I really did successfully was the Oriko one lmao. Ahhh oh well.

I'll have more words later, but it was really fun to be part of a fandom experience like this. I'm excited to work on my own original story projects though and quiet down a bit.

...

When I started this blog, I never expected it to have people actually read it. Or look at it. I just wanted a place to gush about how much fun I was having. I didn't even want to tag the posts with "Magia Record" at first because I was terrified people would be mean at me, haha.

But I'm glad I did. I made so many good friends through this game. I'm glad it existed. And it made me happy to have a place where people cared about what I had to say. Some folks actually got their news from here, can you imagine that? They had notifications turned on for this blog. My god.

Anyways, I'm going to be here for the next two months, and tomorrow I'll start reblogging fan projects and initiatives, plus general news. Maybe this blog will turn into a dumping site for art and fanfic reblogs, who knows. I might watch the remaining stuff and add various thoughts here and there.

Otherwise, you can find me on my main blog @malignmuffin, which only reblogs stuff (I don't talk much if at all there). I have another tumblr blog for my comic, but I think I'll reshare the name once I actually have content you can look at on it. It's pretty bare bones for the moment.

Actually it'll be funny if the end of this game is what makes me finally work on it again. I was in the process of working on it when NA came out, and it totally derailed me. Stopped writing, drawing, just focused on this silly little phone game. Now it's like those five years have gone by and I'm going back to where I started, except I think my lil comic is going to be a bit better than it was before. If I actually make it, that is.

If I ever do actually make my comic and start posting it, I'll be sure to update y'all here. hah

Anyways, thanks for being on this wild ride with me. The memories have been great, and I'm glad I had this experience, even if it had to end.

Hey hey, first off, very excited to see someone writing for Aphmau characters!! It’s been a while since I watched my street but I will never forget how upset I was when Laurence disappeared (Goodnight sweet Prince)

As for fanfic request stuff, could you do a friends to lovers with a reader who’s super confident in everything except love? Like, knows they’re cool and look good but they’ve never really been confessed to, just something real fluffy. Not necessarily shy just not willing to risk confessing even if they know the other person feels the same (preferably fem reader)

For the character(s), if you take requests for multiple people then Cole Ninjago and Laurence MyStreet (separate) and if not then just Laurence will do :))

Any format works too, headcanons, one shot, go wild

thanks so much for the ask! this is such an interesting scenario and i had a loooooong time writing this ehe TuT

however, since the characters you requested are from different fandoms- i think i'll write the other pairing on a different post (hope u understand TmT) . also i'm soooo sorry in advance if laurence is ooc, i haven't really thought about him in a while...

anyway, likes and reblogs are appreciated! i hope you enjoy ✩

pairing: mystreet laurance x fem!reader

will include: fluff, friends to lovers

"You know what's the craziest part in all this?" Katelyn points out, drawing a circle with her index toward you.

"What?" You raise a brow, placing your hands on top of each other on your crossed leg.

"That I still don't get how you haven't confessed to Laurence." She answers quickly, and you react by immediately uncrossing your legs and throwing your hands in the air.

"It's not that easy!" You exclaim.

"How? You're the most confident person ever!" Aphmau points out from her side of the couch. "Second to Laurence, of course." She adds, which receives a collective 'yeah's and 'that's true's from the other girls.

You sigh as you slump in your chair.

It's another girls night, which means another night for updates on your crush on your close friend, Laurence. Only the girls, who are Aphmau, Katelyn, Kawaii~Chan, and Lucinda, know your crush on him.

"Seriously, you're so confident when it comes to other guys. I never thought I'd see Travis of all guys stutter when you flirted with him for a dare." Lucinda chuckles from the other end of Aphmau's couch, swirling her glass of juice.

"Because, Laurence is different..." You pause for a second before sighing again and combing a hand through your hair. "I've never felt this type of connection with anyone else, and I'm scared that if I do confess, it'll ruin the friendship I have with him." You frown as you intertwine your hands together. "I don't wanna lose him if it ends out like that."

"What happened to "don't be afraid to try new things" because you said being confident is all about being secure with yourself enough that new things don't scare you as much?" Katelyn asks, bending at the waist and propping her elbows on her thighs.

"I agree! You always say that and that's how you helped Kawaii~Chan start her maid cafe!" Kawaii~Chan smiles at you. You spare a smile before looking down to your fiddling hands again.

"Love is an entirely different department of confidence. My past relationships didn't end well, and," You bite your lip for a second, "I'm scared." Your eyes glance up to look around the room, which was filled with surprised faces from your girl friends. "I'm scared that if Laurence and I do become a... thing, that the universe is going to wreck it somehow and he'll cut me out of his life." You confess.

Aphmau gets up from her seat and ushers Lucinda to scooch to the other side before taking her seat. She places her hands on top of yours and your head moves up to meet her eyes. Her lips curl into a smile as her hand squeezes yours, giving your reassurance not only with her gaze.

"You're not going to lose him. I know Laurence is a relatively silly guy, but when it's something serious, he doesn't play around." She says softly. "He's a mature guy when he needs to be, and I can never imagine him actually hurting any woman's feelings on purpose." She adds with a light chuckle before exhaling deeply. "Otherwise, if he did, I'd have his head by now."

You comically blink at her last sentence before breaking into a laugh. The weight of the situation gets lighter, even for just this moment, and you give Aphmau a smile. "Thanks, Aph." You nod in her direction. "Thanks for being so supportive about this, girls." You turn to the other three in the living room.

"Of course, no problem!" "No biggie." "Kawaii~Chan can't wait for her ship to sail!"

Everyone turns to Kawaii~Chan with concerned looks, which she replies with a shrug. "What? Kawaii~Chan thinks they're end game!" She exclaims nonchalantly. Your cheeks flush as you try to change the topic for the night.

It was pouring down heavily today. You were outside early before the sun came up for a quick jog around the town, as you usually did. However, on your way back, you felt droplets of rain fall down on you and dismissed it for a light shower.

Now, you're stuck under a random bus stop. Turns out, you were jogging on a completely different street on the way back home. You guess you absentmindedly took one wrong turn on the way back, too busy listening to your music.

You were pretty soaked in your attire and you were started to get cold. Your phone dinged in your pocket and you brought it out, curling your hand across the top of the screen to stop the rain from straying onto your phone.

It was Laurence. He texted asking you how you were against the rain, and followed it with a picture of a flooded basement. He said his room got flooded and you snickered, typing a reply back on how only he would get stuck in a situation like that.

He replies with a few laughing emojis and you think for a while before opening your camera, taking a selfie of yourself. Your hair was wet and clinging to your skin, your clothes were also wet (even your socks), and you were pretty sure you would get sick after this.

You sent the selfie to Laurence, telling him how you're stuck outside in the rain while you were in the middle of jogging back home. He didn't reply after that and you thought it up to how he had his own problems to handle, which was his flooded basement.

You hugged yourself as you sat inside the bus stop, hoping the rain would stop. You didn't want to risk jogging back home either because you were on a street you didn't know and you were pretty sure you'd get even more lost in such weather.

You don't know how long you waited but it felt like hours.

Then, you heard your name in the distance. You turned to the direction of the voice and saw a figure far away. You squinted your eyes to get a good look on who it was, and you gasped.

It was Laurence. Running in your direction and holding up an umbrella above his head.

You can't explain how relieved you were to see him. You watched as he ran up to you and as he panted for a few minutes to catch his breath. You hoped he thought that your red cheeks were some indication of a starting fever, instead of you blushing because he was here.

"Laurence?" You whisper his name and he inhales deeply, pushing himself up from his knees.

"Are you okay!?" He exclaims, stepping closer inside the bus stop to you. "Oh my Irene, I'm so glad I found you. Come on, let's get you home." He offers his hand out and you slowly reach out for it.

Once your hand was in his, he gripped you tightly and pulled you under the umbrella. "How'd you find me?" You ask softly as you begin to follow Laurence's lead.

"Your selfie showed the bus stop map. I just had to zoom in to see which one you were at, and I came running to find you." Laurence says, like it was no big deal. Yet, you could hear your heart beating loudly in your ears as your cheeks grow redder.

"... Thank you, Laurence." You say softly, smiling towards him. He glances his eyes to you, and he smiles back.

"Don't mention it." He replies, and you almost just notice how he squeezes your hand just a bit tighter.

Laurence led you back to your house in gentleman-like fashion. You were screaming in your head the whole time the way back, but deep down you were happy. Extremely happy.

On the way home, Laurence explained that Zane somehow managed to drain the water from the basement and that's when he immediately left the house to get you.

You felt so cared for. On the way home, you would look down and stare at your intertwined hands. You couldn't believe someone would go out in the windy, strong rain just to fetch you and bring you home- and you couldn't believe it more when you remember it's Laurence who did that.

... You're almost brought to tears when you remind yourself that he's doing all of this as your friend as you come down the stairs.

When you don't notice Laurence in the living room, those thoughts are immediately reinforced. Of course, he did his job in bringing you back to your house, so what other reason would he have to stay?

"You done showering? I made some chicken soup!" A familiar voice yells from the kitchen. You hurriedly make your way there in disbelief, to see Laurence about to carry two hot bowls of soup.

"Laurence," you pause, "you're still here." You sound like you're out of breath.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Laurence comes up to you with a sided smile, nodding his head to your dining table to indicate to take a seat. "Someone's gotta take care of you once you inevitably get a fever after being out in the rain for so long." He subtle scolds you and you pout.

"I thought I could wait it out..." You murmur, taking your seat.

"Yeah, for a day, sure." He sets your bowl down in front of you before taking a seat next to you, while pressing the back of his palm on your forehead.

You quickly pull away to look down to your bowl and immediately pick up the spoon. So, you could hide your blush (obviously). "I don't have a fever, Laurence." You tell him, taking a scoop of the soup and bringing it to your lips.

Only, of course, to burn your tongue and slam the spoon back down on the table. "Hey, hey, slow down!" Laurence gets up from his seat to quickly pour you some water. "Are you okay?" He asks while you basically chug the water.

You nod your head while drinking before setting the glass down. "Uh, thank you... again." You avert your eyes nervously.

"Are you sure you don't have a fever?" He raises a brow as he returns to his chair.

"Y-Yeah! Yeah, I'm sure." You slide a hand behind your neck out of habit.

Laurence's eyes furrow and he leans in towards you. "You're lying."

"What?"

"You're lying?"

"No, I'm not." You chuckle.

"Yes, you are. You put your hand behind your neck when you lie." He states, like a matter of fact.

You blink at him with awe and disbelief. He notices the small stuff about you too.

Your mind passes to the thoughts of your feelings towards the brunette. The fact he ran in the middle of practically a storm today just to get you, the fact he remembered your small habits, and the fact that he's here. He's here and he's taking care of you.

It makes you feel warmer than the soup he made. He's always made you feel like. It's like a cozy fireplace whenever you're next to him, like you're rocking on a chair with a knitted wool blanket while holding your favorite drink.

You're at the height of your emotions and it overtakes your rationality. You inhale and blurt,

"Laurence, I like you." He blinks at your words. You clear your throat and look down, intertwining your hands to keep them busy. "I've liked you for a while, actually. A few months after we met, I developed feelings for you. I... I never told you because I was scared of losing you." You close your eyes when you feel the tears begin to well in your eyes. "I know how dumb it sounds especially because of how confident I am, but when it comes to you, I am so scared because the bond we have is so special to me a-"

You were cut off by a kiss. You open your tear-filled eyes and see Laurence's face. His eyes are squeezed shut and his cheeks were slightly tinted if you paid enough attention, and you did. He pulls away.

Apparently, he had lifted your head with his hands on your cheek and pulled you in for a cheek. "I..." He smiles as his thumb wipes the tears away from your cheek. "I like you too. For a while, now." He confesses softly. "You caught my eye the day Aphmau introduced you to us because you were so confident with yourself." He glances down to your lips before looking at you again. "At first, it was because you were beautiful," he pauses, "I still do."

You chuckle and he does too, before pulling your focus back on him.

"Then as we got closer, I thought about how much I wanted to keep seeing you... be confident." He says. "And wanted to be the one that makes you confident too." He adds, nodding his head to the side. "Of course, only if you'd let me."

You sniffle and nod your head frantically. You laugh lightly as you begin to chuckle. "Yes!" You whisper. "Yes, Laurence, I-"

He cuts you off with another kiss. Only this time, you kiss him back.

Making American Horror Story DRs "Safe"

I'll update this with each season I watch! Most of this will focus on one of the "Evans" bc I know a lot of yall horny bastards wanna hop on him (real) Each section will have an "ultra safe" paragraph and a "safe as possible?" paragraph. idk -Murder House: Option One: The house isn't possessed or whatever you want to call it. Hell, you don't even have to live in it. Though Tate has problems with his mom (that adds a lot to his character, so I'd still 'keep that'), he's never had terrible thoughts of doing what he did at that school or any other gross things. I personally would still 'script out' the self-harm. Wouldn't want my partner to suffer that Option Two: If you still want that ghostly experience, then sure, by all means, live in the haunted house. but maybe cut out the satan part... Also script the ghosts don't have shitty timing (they don't bother you in the bathroom or when you're sleeping, for ex). If you want Tate as a ghost and not alive, still, don't date a ghost mass yknow what  😭  😭  BONUS: instead of tate, date violet 🥰🥰 -Asylum: Option One: You can live a nice quiet life with Kit. it's the 60s though, so if you're fem/poc/lgbt/etc, keep that in mind. whenever I go to a reality in the past I script I don't get bored without technology lol Option Two: have fun at the asylum, ig, boo. If you want some edgy lore, pls don't script you're a psycho killer or something omg 😭. Script none of the people in charge inflect punishments on you. If you really wanna get freaky in that musty place, script you don't get caught... and that its not all musty... -Coven: I got a lot to say bc I think Imma make a script for this too haha Option One: no scary demon devils or whatever. Uh, Kyle isn't treated like a sex object???? Nothing bad happens to Nan (she deserves better). If Kyle has to die (that sounds so weird to say) for your lore or whatever, don't purposely give him a traumatizing experience. this isn't a fan fic,, that's your REALITY. Honestly you could just script you're a silly little witch hanging out in New Orleans and call it a day. Madison isn't annoying af. No Axe Man. LaLaurie being Queenie's "slave" was deserved but maybe just script her 'out' altogether... Option Two: Okay, so you want the drama. Have the drama! Still no demon devils though cuz that does NOT sound fun. Script you and the people you care about are all safe from harm. If Kyle HAS to go through that terrible experience (I'm his biggest defender as you can tell), at least keep Madison and Zoe away or at bay bc seeing them fight over a guy who can't even say "food" and OBVIOUSLY can't verbally consent was so uncomfy, for me at least. -Freak Show: Option One: no scary clowns. The "freaks" aren't treated like shit. Neal Patrick Harris doesn't show up with his puppet??? No one is trying to make money off of the freaks. None of them are murdered or harmed. Option Two: Ig if you still want the plot they still have to be treated pretty shitty. Still would apply everything else though, as well as the fact nothing happens to you.

-Hotel: Option One: Ok look James March. Wonderful man. Make him NOT a serial killer omg. If you get with him I'm convinced a relationship with him would be straight up Morticia and Gomez uishfuihfjsf I want him so bad. Anyway, if he's your man keep the countess off your back, if you keep her there at all. I wouldn't recommend making yourself a ghost bc idk WTFFF that would mean for you spiritually. You could be sexy March's sexy human partner. Or the countess' partner. Anyone's partner. but alive. Um no 10 commandment killings of any sort, and no vampire children???

Option Two: ngl idk how else to put this?? idk if there should be an option 2 ;-;

Currently on Roanoke! this season is so boring I might not write anything for it

[little-teacupss]

The Pirate and his Fairy.

Note: Thank you to everyone who liked the first part of this, hope you like this one just as much, I'm trying to write as much as possible while I'm getting ideas and am inspired because something I've learned while being a writer is I easily get writers block if I don't have ideas constantly flowing on top of that I have ADHD, so I hyperfixate, so I promise I'll do my best to update regularly or above regularly! Remember you can give criticism without being a prick.

Note 2: This universe is separate from 'their good fairy' and 'the pirate meets his fairy' they're apart of the same universe, but I got emotionally attached while writing this one, so sorry peeps!

Summary: Months have passed, but their connection has only grown stronger. But James Hook wants to be more than just a matey to Fay.

Warnings: lots of fluff, tiny bit of angst as in insecurities of not having a hand, bad pirate terminology, and British terminology because I'm a silly American, anyway British/Scottish/Irish/Walish people reading I'm so sorry.

Note 3: part two here.

___________________________________________

The two walked in the forest side by side, making their way to the Enchanted Lake, James had a surprised for the nervous fairy. He'd been planning it for quite some time, but Fay didn't know that. She turned to look at him as they walked and smiled and asked. "So what will we be doing today?"

James let out a deep chuckle as he playfully shook his head at theo so very curious fairy, before turning his hear to look at her as he placed his hook to his lip and said. "It's a secret for now me, Corsair."

He put an arm around her shoulders as he led her down the path to the Enchanted Lake. When they got close enough to the point, they could ever so slightly see the crumbling structure. He went behind her and put his hand over his eyes as he led her closer, gently guiding her so she wouldn't trip on anything.

"Just what did you plan, Captain?" .Fay giggles as she carefully takes a step forward with the help of James to get around. She hears a wolf whistle come from the pirate, clearly telling her she wouldn't be getting any answers from him until they got there.

Then they came to a stop, he had wrapped his other arm around her waist and gently rested the hook on her waist before slowly lifting her hands from her eyes, coming into view is a little wooden boat surrounded by candles wadding in the Enchanted lake, Fay's mouth drops open as her eyes get slightly teary as she feels tears prick into place, she takes in what's in front of her.

James watches her take a step forward and look around at the candles, the flowers, and the emergency boat he'd taken from his Jolly Roger for the day, he cleared his throat.

"Would you like to sail with me?" .He asked nervously as he waited for her answer, she turned around quickly with a smile, before throwing her arms around his neck pulling him close to her as she nuzzled her face against his red trench coat and softly spoke. "I'd love to, but I must add this would be my first time ever riding a boat."

She said the last part quietly as she turned her head to look back at the boat before looking back up at James, he smiled down at her and gently took her hand guiding her to the boat, he got in first, and then extending both of his arms for her to hold onto as he gently guided her into the boat, carefully helping her balance against the water rocking the boat, as he set her down across from him.

James grabbed the paddles and began to row out to the middle of the lake. He allowed a gentle smile to play out onto his face as he watched Fay's eyes light up in amazement, but also a little fear about being out in the middle of the lake, and then said. "You look beautiful, me Corsair."

Fay's cheeks turnt a light shade of pink as she heard him whisper what he thought of her appearance before giving him a shy smile, she then took in how he was no longer wearing his red trench coat and was now in his white button up with his sleeves rolled up, it also made it a lot easier to see his hair that just came to his shoulders, Fay then whispered back. "You look handsome, especially now you look in tuned to everything around you."

James chuckled as his eyes met the fairy's brown eyes as he said. "I'm glad that means I'm a good Captain."

The two talked for what seemed like forever, as if time had stopped and only the two of them existed. They shared stories about their different worlds, things they like, hobbies, everything, then Fay said. "Brave or practical, I want to be a teacher."

James hummed as he crossed his arms and leaned against the side of the boat as he said. "Pratical."

Fay nervously looked down at her lap as she clenched the fabric of her skirt in her fists as she whispered. "I'm a magician?"

She said as she giggled nervously looking away from where James was staring her with a big smile as he said. "Brave."

Fay looked up, his brown eyes meeting hers as she felt lost in the moment. She'd never felt so free before. Being with James always made her feel like anything was possible.

They spent the rest of their time looking around and observing nature while James rowed around the lake, but what they didn't expect was for the wind to pick up, which made the water crash against the little wooden boat, James wasn't very concerned as he'd sailed in far worse weather then just the wind changing coarse, but Fay was another story as she panicked and swayed back and forth uncontrollably not used to the change of environment.

James face hardened a bit because although he was very experienced in rough waters, Fay clearly wasn't as she held onto the side of the boat for dear life and looked at the waves as they became bigger and bigger, this date was slowly turning into whirl pool, what the two didn't expect was for water to crash over the sides of the boat, and land where their feet were, before finally the boat flipped over completely.

James flailed around for a bit in the water before standing up. As he looked around for where Fay went, he felt trepidation over come his entire being as he couldn't find her near, before light tapping came from the flipped boat next to him, to which he tipped back over to find a bone soakened Fay look up at him, he looked her over and asked. "You didn't get hurt, did you?"

Fay shook her head as she smiled up at the pirate who was looking at her with worry, as he continued to look her over before finally being satisfied to find she was completely unscathed, as he backed away he felt something cold splash him, looking up to Fay, she gave him a playful smirk as she splashed him again repeatedly, James decided to give her a tast eof her own medicine as he skillfully splashed her back also using his hook, clearly out doing her as he had years of experience to top her, he smiled as he watched her squirm and cover herself, the two went completely still when they heard. "Hook! I thought you said you saw him over here?"

Fay plugged her nose and went under, Hook looked up and saw Uliana and Morgie making their way over, looking around before spotting him.

"There you are!" .Morgie exclaimed as he made his way closer before giving Hook a confused look. "Why are you standing in the lake and completely drentched?"

Uliana crossed her arms as she stood next to Morgie and observed the situation before speaking. "Well come on we don't have all day."

She said before dragging Morgie off to the secret hide out, Hook gulped as he looked around desperately for Fay he heard a soft splashing sound behind him as Fay emerged from the water and let out fast pants, before giving him a tired smile.

James carefully got her back into the boat and pushed it back to shore before putting the snuffed out candles and paddles inside of it and putting his red trench coat back on before turning to Fay. "I want to see you again tomorrow in town square."

It was more of a demand then asking her out, but Fay nodded and stared up at the Captain as he shook his head back and forth like a dog trying to dry itself, she hummed before saying. "Of course I'll see you tomorrow."

She gave him a quick hug and peck on the cheek before making her way back to Merlin Academy while James went in the opposite direction where Uliana's lair was. He shook himself one last time before walking in where a group of pirates were hanging out at the entrance all nodding when they saw their Captain waltz in, James made his way to the center where Uliana, Morgie, Hades, and Maleficent were sat waiting for him, Maleficent looked up at him and patted the seat next to her, she then said. "You finally made it, I see."

"But why are you soaked?" .She continued with crossed arms as the pirate took a seat next to her. He nodded before looking at Uliana, who was clearly trying to hatch a plan.

James listened as everyone pitched in on ideas. Some he pitched, but his were deemed unworthy of the great sea witch, as she kept trying to come up with a great way to show the AK's they're not just some group of delinquent's.

"What if we smoke bombed the ballroom during rehearsal for castle coming?"

Morgie suggested as he crossed his arms and leaned back against the shell seat that Uliana had put in for decoration, Uliana snapped her finger and laughed. "That's an excellent idea, Morgie."

Once they were finally done setting up the plan, they began to make their way back to Merlin Academy, but while James made his way to the dock where Jolly Roger was tied, he felt someone grab his shoulder, turning his head he saw Morgie give him an uneasy look.

"Look, I saw you, I don't know if Uliana did, I'm not telling you to stop, but you have to be careful." .He said nervously, not wanting to anger the Captain, especially so close to his boat where he could be made to walk the plank, and it's not like the pirate would care they've only known each other for five months.

James nodded as he looked out to sea while standing on the dock before turning back to the Serpentine. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Morgie pursed his lips. He watched Hook closely as he ran his hand through his hair before nodding to himself and then turning to Morgie. "Anything else you need, lad?"

Morgie shrugged before leaving the pirate to figure out how'd he'd be even more discreet with the fairy. He made his way aboard his Jolly Roger, before shouting. "Mr. Smee!"

"Mr. Smee!" .He heard a loud thud along with shouting as an older man came out from below and shouted. "Yes, Captain!"

The man made his way over, fixing his red beanie before standing next to James while panting, James looked at the older man and said. "I need my nicer coat for tomorrow. I have something very important to be, you know, the one with the gold buttons."

He said before waving off the older man, as he made his way to his cabin, James looked at the piano that sat in the middle of his cabin, he looked out the big window that stretched from one side of his room to the other, before taking a seat at the piano and began to play 'Cometine D'un Autre Été' about mid way through playing he heard Mr. Smee come in and lay out a brand new button up on his bed alongside the blood red trench coat with golden hems and buttons and a maroon hat with a lavender feather.

James nodded to Mr. Smee and said. "Take tomorrow off, Smee."

Mr. Smee gave him a big smile before rushing out the door, not wanting to test the Captain's patience, James turned away from the piano and looked at what he'd be wearing tomorrow to see Fay.

He got in and began trying on his formal wear before delicately placing the hat on top and staring into the mirror at himself then his eyes traveled to his hook as he lifted it up to view moving his hand in a circular motion, it was apart of himself that he'd always be insecure about because without a hand was he ever truly whole?

Would Fay ever be truly satisfied with him when he isn't even complete himself?

James shook his head and adjusted the coat so it had no wrinkles as he looked to the rest of him, his hair that came just to his shoulders, his cotton button up, the old worn boats he's had for years, his piercings, and back to his golden hook.

He carefully took what he'd wear tomorrow off before putting on a white t shirt and random pants that he'd sleep in. He then carefully took off his hook, placing it on his nightstand and turnt off the lamps in his room and blew out the candles, before laying in bed with his arm under his head as he stared at the ceiling listening to the waves crash against the ship, they weren't as intense as most he'd slept through, but it felt almost like home out at sea, he hoped that one day he'd be able to show Fay the seven seas that were his own.

- the next morning, Saturday 3:35 pm. -

Fay was walking around townsquare, looking through some merchant tent shops that had been put up for the day before heading where name brand stores were. She knew James would show up late as always because he was always distracting his crew mates or VK group from where he was actually going.

She walked down the cobblestoned path and took on the scenery of the urban town. As she passed by a more dark and shadowy area, she let out a shrill squeak before her mouth was covered. She jerked around, trying to escape before a wolf whistle started up behind her, making her realize who it truly was behind her, James separated from her leaning on one side of the alley as she stood in front of him.

James held a paper bag in his hand as he looked at Fay. He then held it out towards her with a grin, Fay carefully opened the bag, reaching in she pulled out a little biscuit, James then said. "It's a sea biscuit. My buccaneers and I eat them all the time on me ship."

Fay smiled up at him as she held the paper bag close as she shivered, James' brows furrowed before he shrugged off his coat and drapped it over her shoulder and wrapped it infront of her, buttoning some of the top buttons, he then looked up to her face, his eyes went from her beautiful dark eyes to her pink lips, nervously he leaned forward as he pecked her lips before deepening their kiss.

Fay's eyes fluttered as she gently brought one of her hands up to his shoulder as she tilted her head slightly to give him a better angle. After what felt like forever in reality, it was a few seconds. James pulled away and rested his forehead against her shoulder as he brought his hand to her waist and held her close to him.

James lifted his head up so he could stare into Fay's eyes as she stared up at him. Her face was now a light shade of pink as she let out soft pants before giving him a big smile as she played with the tips of his hair and whispered. "I'm glad I met you."

She then leaned up and gently pecked his lips as she smiled and relished in how happy she truly was in this moment.

In the spirit of distractions: I actually forgot to link this here! My silly spreadsheet project is now updated through S3, with only one new category — TATTLETALES — because boy do these kids love to gossip.

With the Original Flavor team leaving in S3, I thought I'd share some overalls from the first three seasons:

Who brings the most cases?

Surprisingly, House himself, with 14 total cases he requested, took an interest in, or just decided they were doing. Next is, unsurprisingly, Cuddy with 13 cases. Tied with 8 cases each are Wilson and "other" (referrals, Stacy's husband, Vogler bringing a case, etc.), followed by Foreman with 6, Cameron with 4, "clinic patient turned case" with 3… and go-getter Chase with one case in three years.

How many times do they break into houses?

A lot of times! Discounting a few episodes where they have permission or search with the patient's spouse, we have 24 total illegal searches. Surprisingly, Foreman does it the least of the team, at only 11 times. Cameron is next with 14 times, and Chase, oddly, comes in with 20. Cuddy meanwhile gets one point, and House does three home searches.

Who bonds with the most patients?

Foreman, perhaps surprisingly, with 9 episodes focusing on his relationship with the patient. Cameron and House tie with 8; Chase with 6 (take a quick guess how many children they treat, and add one for the nun in S1).

Who has the most subplots?

This one is admittedly hard to quantify, but it's also the whole reason I started this project. As I watched, I tried to quantify who had a B-plot — this can be surprisingly hard! If Wilson asks Cuddy to a museum, is it a B plot for him? Her? Both? I tried to stick with the character whose POV we were seeing: for example in S3's Fetal Position, everyone has found out that Cameron and Chase are hooking up, but we mostly follow Cameron and her reactions and feelings about it, not Chase's. So while they both have the B-plot, the focus is more on Cameron, and so I'd argue it's more "about" her.

Anyway, with that very scientific analysis, here's what I got:

House has 33 B-plots, which makes sense as he's the main character. Wilson is at 12, which seems low, but mostly he is reactive to House's stuff and doesn't have much focused on him and his POV until S2 and S3. Cuddy gets 5.5, having very few focus episodes and mostly existing through House's eyes: take her date in Insensitive, which is mostly an opportunity for House to harass her.

Of the team, Cameron has the most subplots at 17, although you could knock it down a couple points if you wanted — I counted all her House Crush Era episodes as subplots, even though at times it's only limited to one scene.

Foreman comes next at 13.5, and his subplots are meaty. Where Cameron's crush was sometimes limited to just a scene or two, if Foreman has a subplot it's half the episode. Despite the low number, he's also given more narrative focus than the other fellows, being put in charge of five cases where Cameron and Chase never get any, and his resignation arc dragging on for quite a long time.

Chase is very much last, at 6.5. This honestly was what I expected: where Cameron and Foreman are both given Narrative Roles (Cameron as love interest and then moral person and Foreman as leader and successor), Chase just kind of exists. In S2 he had almost nothing outside of The Mistake, and even in S3 with the FWB arc, that was mostly from Cameron's POV and the focus was on her and her feelings. This is a trend that will continue until S6.

And, finally, does anyone play with The Ball in this episode?

The answer is… surprisingly less often than I'd thought! House plays with it in seven episodes, including taking it to Wilson's office in Lines in the Sand when he's boycotting his own. Cuddy and Foreman both play with it once each.

In S6 Foreman makes this joke:

CAMERON: You know how House feels about people touching his ball. FOREMAN: No. Chase refuses to tell me.

…and it is that much funnier because it's true. After House, Chase is the most likely to play with the ball, with three times. But considering how he is with pens and fidgeting, I bet the true number is higher. Let's call it symbolism!

[the-way-astray]

HEY so I skim read your new Keefe hate post and I have some thoughts I'd like to share (all good ones!!)

As someone who also wrote a very long essay about [a] fictional character(s) while citing the page number and book word by word, you freaking ACED it. I'm always gonna be impressed when people take the time to cite your source and give a in depth explanation about it

You're lowkey not too wrong about Keefe infantilizing Sophie. For something silly and stupid, like "Iggy ate my mallowmelt!! >:( Now im mad!!" yeah I bet Sophie would seem cute lol. But for when she's genuinely angry and pissed?? Maybe lay off a little bit dude 😭 Like cmon she can murder you with her mind- There are moments where he does talk about how powerful she is though, throughout the series, but tbh as much as he does that he probably inhantilize her too *shrug* I need to reread the series, but you are making some sense.

I need Keefe getting mad and someone asking him if he's on his period LMAOOOO

Anyways as someone who loves Keefe you're making valid points. He has his flaws, and sometimes he isn't the best person. In summary

Never post that on pinterest. Those crazy Keefe loving, Fitz hating, Sokeefe shipping 11 year olds will MURDER YOU. I will respect your opinion, but they sure don't.

(your opinion is valid and you have facts *clap and approving nod* you have my respect.)

the post in question

okay, first of all, i need this essay immediately. i literally do not care what it's about but words! lots of words! about kotlc! need.

ooh, thank you so much! i mentioned this in the post itself, but this is a rework. the quotes were originally in one post (copy-pasted from another post) and the explanation was in a reblog, which was hella annoying, so i condensed them. i suppose it does make much more sense now. and my explanation is based in the fact that i don't think people were understanding why this isn't a good thing to be saying, period, when i posted it for the first time. even without context.

yeah, keefe displays a consistent attitude of "sophie is so adorable and small and cute and ditzy and soft". seriously, if you don't believe me, read his perspective in unlocked (or don't, because i'm going to do it for you in my part two keefe rant). it's why i don't buy his accepting sophie as a leader in stellarlune (done in a very, very tell-not-show way, may i add), unless he went through some serious development in unraveled. i may have to dedicate a whole post to that topic . . . anyway, yeah, him calling her powerful and talented feels very, very, very tell-not-show, and when you look at his internal thoughts in unlocked, it portrays her very differently. i'm not a fan of the way he sees her, truly. it feels very dumbed down and uwu-ified. no quotes from unlocked have been put into the post, so i'll have to update it later, but if i included unlocked quotes, this post would be like sixteen times its length. but yeah, you should reread the series before you come to a serious opinion. i'm obviously incredibly biased.

GOODBYE I WAS CITING THAT POST BECAUSE IT GAVE OFF THE EXACT ENERGY I FEEL KEEFE GIVES OFF . . . I DON'T EVEN THINK ELVES HAVE PERIODS (please nobody bring back that cursed discussion again, please, i beg) BUT YOU'RE SO CORRECT. SOMEONE WRITE A HUMAN AU WHERE THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY

yay, a level-headed keefe lover, i love you guys. lol . . . i don't plan to go on pinterest anytime soon, or ever (and i also don't even think pinterest's format even allows for a long post like this . . . ). honestly the thought would have never even crossed my mind, because keepblr is my one true love and i'd never cheat on her. but now that you mention it, it might be funny . . .

[galvanizedfriend]

Hi dear author!

I really love your TW series, is there any update coming soon?🥹

Also, are you planning to do some flashbacks how Caroline and Eve were living for the last 5years, very interesting to see how her MF friends were doing 👀

Miss your stories, hope there will be updates soon!

Hi, nonnie! So happy you like my series, thank you so much! 😊 I have just finished the first draft of chapter 4, was trying to get ahead of chapter 5. I need a few days of distance before I can go back to edit, so thought I might try to get ahead on the next one. But don't know when the update is coming yet. 🥲

I don't think I have any flashbacks planned for the story. There's maybe Caroline telling Klaus about some of the things that happened, but I don't remember now if I kept those lol I might add them later on.

Totally unrelated to your question, but I got a silly comment yesterday that prompted me to go back and read the first three chapters of The Wolf for the first time in years. I've been really terrified to do it cause I always thought I'd hate it and want to change everything lol Surprisingly, I thought it was pretty neat! 😂 My 2024 ass might want to rewrite some bits, but not a lot of it. And it was so nice to see where it all started. 🥲 I've been living in this story for so long and I don't go back to re-read it, so it's easy to forget it's been a whole journey. My silly blorbos have come such a long way 🥹

Anyway, I know this has nothing to do with your ask, sorry for disgressing 😂 I just thought it was so cute to see where it all started and how they are now so married in spirit. 🥹 Especially for Caroline, who was understandably hostile towards the entire situation (as she should be), and now is so madly devoted to her new family. 🤧 I love them you honor!

Sims 4 Updates I'd Love to See

Every so often while playing, I think of something that I wish EA would add as a base game update. With the 10 year anniversary of the game's release coming up, I thought I'd put them out into the universe in the hopes they might become a reality someday (disclaimer - I know they're unlikely to happen and are also probably more complicated to implement than my brain can comprehend).

More outfit categories; specifically, outerwear and underwear. I know we have cold weather as a category, but as someone who lives where there are 4 seasons, I think both categories are needed. It's silly for sims to be out in a blizzard wearing a sweatshirt and it's silly for them to be in their homes wearing a hat and gloves. And underwear just seems like a no brainer, as it's been in previous games and they even released an underwear kit.

Make the baking skill base game and overhaul the cooking/baking menu to put making cakes, cupcakes, etc all in the baking category. I'm a little surprised they didn't do this when they revamped the cooking menu recently, as it would have decluttered the cooking one.

Add food & drink likes/dislikes. Maybe categorize them as cuisine styles for sims to like or dislike. This could also potentially allow for sims to be vegetarian or lactose intolerant without taking up a precious trait slot. It could also allow for additional dietary habits, such as kosher, vegan, etc.

More holiday calendar customization. The calendar has been made base game and recent updates have expanded the types of events we can schedule. I think it would be amazing to be able to decide when creating holidays if we want them to be globally recognized in game or only celebrated by a specific household. It would allow for more diversity in game, as not all my sims want to celebrate Winterfest with Father Winter but may have their own celebrations.

Add a relationship type for Exes to CAS. When creating families this would be a lot faster to convey that 2 parents used to be in a relationship without having to uses cheats or mods to alter the relationship/make them divorce.

Another base game generic world, similar to Newcrest. Even with all the worlds we have, I somehow still feel like I need more options.

Similar to #6, do away with vacation worlds. Since we can create a Residential Rental in any world, it's less essential to have vacation worlds. Make Granite Falls and Selvadorada liveable. Batuu is it's own thing, so it would need to remain a vacation world but the other 2 would make amazing liveable worlds.

Improve textures on some of the original base game hairs. The styles are nice, but they do not hold up as well in game compared to recent hair textures.

I know some of the above can be achieved with mods, but I'd rather see them integrated into the game for everyone and not have to worry about updating mods.

Anyway, there's my wish list! 😊

[lemon-wedges]

Do you have any fic recs for any fandoms you’re currently obsessed with?

Hmmmm well the three main fandoms I kinda rotate thru currently are The Great Ace Attorney(brry), Metal Gear(otasune), and Dungeon Meshi (labru)

I put it under cut cause I kept getting side tracking talking lol

I can start with labru but I actually haven't read that many fanfic? Mostly cause when I first looked up the tags I was suprised there wasn't much fic at all. But also not suprised cause the anime hadn't even revealed kabrus 1 secret (and the anime wouldn't even touch his 2nd secret this last season 🥲) so I thought I'd just wait till fics start accumulating before diving back in (if anything I need recs lol)

Accurate Models of course. Its the first fic recc's to me and it even inspired some fanart lol modern au. Kabru becomes obessed with the youtuber that does monster dildo reviews

Let's see for otasune....well I'll warn u. Mgs is probably the least friendly diving in blind given that that the lore is just Insane. But also like some in game info reveals are just so so special....it flavors the lore....

Half Way Hungry which I thought was real cute. Post series. Laios finds out Kabru has feelings for him and starts?? Writing in a journal studying him like one of his monsters?????

Aaandddd

Currently waiting for Games People Play and Empyrean, From the Summit to update (cursed laios who needs to get married or else he DIES and painter who takes interest in kabru...)

Anyways.

Hello World series. A Lot of pre-slash build up. They grow together, they trust each other, they love each other and oouuuggggg

to me otasune really is about 2 dudes surrounded by insane people and situations find each other and??? Proceeding to have a normal, stable loving relationship....and I cry cause canonly they just stay together forever buhuhuh....sorry I got caught in my feelings where was I

And then Baroryuu. Which....probably has the least amount of fics between all these ships but the one I want to just dump onto u lol

Anything by bosstoaster honestly. In Other Words for something silly. Moving Forward Using All My Breath for developing relationships in snapshots. And fuck it Feel This Static for abo porn ahaha AND THEIR BEAUTY AND THE BEAST AU

(What can I say. Toaster never misses)

(Also I think any other recs after this might be just porny feeling one shots.....)

Theophany . THEEE FIC FOR BAROK BEING WEIRDLY RELIGIOUS ABOUT RYUu and ryuu being like.....cool 👍

Shizi also one of my favs. IT'S so sweet and moody and bite sized, established brry pretending they're newly weds hehehehe

Judicial Assistant Barok Van Zieks. Barok visiting ryuu in japan decides to help ryuu with his confidence by becoming his assistant

Chaper and Verse is one currently ongoing. It's baroryuu book club!!! (With ryuu torturing Barok with his book choices )

The Fanged and the faithful. WEREWOLF AU WEREWOLF AU WEREWOLF AU.

With Claret Conviction which is also ongoing (and im definatly biased because it's the exact phantom au spin on them I've been wanting)

Grinding my teeth cause I want to add more but also maybe this is getting too long so I'll just....leave it there OTL

Anyways I hope u find something nice to read in any of this :D

[crushed-starlight]

ok !! yall need so many updates from me aaa i'll try to speedrun them n not give u too much junk to read hehe

the main thing is, today i took a huuuge train ride home from uni !! i was on the road for a super long time but i got tons of reading done :3 but for about a month , i won't be seein any of my uni lore people in person ;; it's gonna be weird for sure since i've spent so much time around them recently, but i think in some cases (ie meadow lol) the distance will be good to help me rly evaluate what i'm getting out of that closeness n whether it's worth it.

plus, i'll get to hang out with my friends from here more too !! theres TONS of interesting stuff goin on with them too, so i'm sure there'll b more of that !!

anyway, here's a mini recap of some stuff that's happened since my last entry !!

i had a big night out with a bunch of people !! my first stop was an indie music night with odie and jiji, then after that down to a queer club night where we met meadow and one of their friends !! we also ran into another classmate who we didn't know was even queer, n he ended up joining us for the night :D

i also ran into a bunch more people i know !! specifically winter and (new character time) wave, who i'll add to the masterlist sooon :3

overall it was super fun n they played a bunch of my favorite songs :3 i love gay people <3

remember how i said 'as per jiji's advice i'm gonna try n keep some distance from meadow'? yeah i for sure did not do that. we explored a retail park n saw a movie on one day, did field work in the city another, n kept walking to class together almost every day !! i am ,, so tired !!

honestly, the crush might be beginning to fade, or just shapeshift into a friendship. i'm becoming more n more aware of potential red flags or just reasons i might not personally want to date them.. mainly, we're just really different in terms of personality. compared to when i'm hanging out with jiji and odie, i just mask around meadow a lot more. i overthink a lot, they tease me over my silly cringe interests n traits (of which there are a lot lol) instead of hyping me up , and i know they don't mean anything of it but i'm tired of being constantly reminded of how Different i am from them ,, and by extension from most people.. ok but wait there was last night .......

we went to a candlelight concert !! to any pair of people other than us, it probably would've been super romantic. what a waste of a perfect night, right? but it was still nice. we dressed up extra pretty, the music was nice, we sat right at the back of a beautiful church and listened to basically a classical music concert. i drank mulled wine in the intermission, there were about 20 christmas trees all decorated and themed after different charities and local organisations. crush thoughts aside, it was a really magical experience for what it cost (15 pounds yippee) :3

but , of course , since i knew that if i got home after that i'd have the most miserable yearning-filled night, i helped set up a pizza party with my flatmates (and odie) instead !! so jiji, comet, and our fourth roommate chipi !! i'm surprised i haven't mentioned him yet, at some point he should get a loredump post of his own since there's a lot to unpack with him lol

anyway the pizza party went great , save for the worlds worst phonecall with the pizza place which i foolishly volunteered to have. that pizza place employee in particular encompasses all the reasons i get anxious about phone calls.. yikes!

ok i think that's everything interesting that's happened so far !! here's to hoping i can have a nice relaxing (but still productive !!) month off. well , aside from the 6 giant essays i need to research and write >< but it's fine, i'll cope :,) bye for now !!

[revasserium]

my favorite twst characters are silver and malleus they're so sillies i wanna hide them in my pocket 🥺❤

and woooow you're already in chapter 5?? you're so fast and that means you'll catch up in chapter 7 🤩 also chapter 7 just updated in twst jp yesterday and i'm losing my marbles over it akdkkskcksks i'm so excited to hear your thoughts/theories when you catch up ❗❗❗

so idia huh hmmm i have a feeling you'll like him even more when you read chapter 6 😈

my favorite twst events are:

vargas camp (some ppl think this event is so boring but for me, it's just refreshing esp the bgm music and just some silly boys going to camping 😁 what could go wrong? 😁)

endless halloween (tho you must watch the first halloween event which is scary monsters in order to understand it ANYWAY i love the vibes here and the bgm music AGAIN lol and bc silver is here my pookiebear)

ghost marriage (all i can say is poor idia 😬)

fairy gala if (it's like the alternate universe of the first fairy gala event, i love this event bc ortho gets to shine here 🥺❤ and some ppl theorize that this event is after chapter 6 buuut we never know bc all the event stories aren't canon huhuhu 😪)

and lastlyyyyy

glorious masquerade event (i love this event bc the little interactions between malleus and yuu/the player 🥰 also we get another twisted version of a disney character! it also has foreshadowing about malleus in chapter 7)

- zella

ALSO if you want to learn/read more about the characters or just see their silliness, you can read their personal stories on miraheze site. it's complete and you can even read the voice lines.

- zella

first of all -- i did NOT know you could send asks this long in tumblr now lskdjfasij HAHA back in mY DAY *cracks back, wheezes* i think we had a character limit but damn tumblr rly said "go off, be free" huh.

but yes! im generally a pretty quick reader, and i watch most videos on 2x speed (i listen to audiobooks on 2x speed too and my mom thinks i'm unhinged for it). so since it's all subbed, i'm just breezing through it; if i weren't so attached to listening to the voiced lines, i'd just read the translations on miraheze u__u

and speaking of miraheze, yES i've been LOOKING (disrepectfully, mind you).

I CANNOT WAIT FOR CHAPER 6. i am shoved so far up idia's ass already and it's not even his chapter yet fuCK.

i'm doing the camp vargas event rn cause im in the eng server and it's cute u__u i do like the "boiz just doin boi tingz" vibe it's giving off. pitching tents n shit hahah.

i shall add endless halloween to my list! i legit didn't figure out that events had like separate stories until the last day of the fairy gala event (i am big dumb im sorry) so i only got to play through the first few chapters in game, but i'll watch the rest of it; and i'm curious about the fairy gala, if ver too.

malleus is growing on me. we love a good lonely boi arc. i love that he's like "u don't know me? that's so hot" vibes hes giving off hAHAHAHA. that's so Ultra Celeb of you, malleus. i see you, i SEE you. silver, i don't know well enough yet but my normal Type is White Haired Anime Boy, so i mean -- boxes have been checked already, ukno?

i'm quickly spiraling way too far into this universe and it's.... worrying, to say the least.

[gladlypants]

Hello there! I just loved your poses, and I wondered why you took them down. I'm still going to use the ones I have, but I miss the rest already! Love your work ♥

Thank you ♥♥♥

There's a personal answer for this, but it's probably silly. Anyway...! I added links to most everything on the downloads page just now. Sorry it may require a little digging to find what you want, but not much! I'd intended to just add a link to my entire SFS catalog but I couldn't figure out how to do it quickly at the time, then thought I'd just go back "soon" and update all the files to be zips with all the old images included so you'd know what you were getting and listing them all individually there, but I was just doing other things and never got motivated to do it.

there's a Gjallarhorn hiding in her closet

(speculation) very likely has a glaive of some sort hiding somewhere (possibly the Black Knight Halberd)

has played Bravely Default enough to know entirely how Special customization works (which means she's played a lot)

filthy fucking Fox main

has played Dark Souls

likes swords (?????)

has made no mention of a "Player" so far

claims to have never played Destiny

has definitely played Destiny

has gone to me to make sure I'm writing Destiny right in my crossover fic

me. the most knowledgeable Destiny lore person in my friend group besides maybe @theishtarindividual

speaking of which she also has a Strange Coin hiding in a book somewhere, possibly others

really wants to be part of my first DnD ever group despite both of us knowing how poorly that would work

I mean really really

like many of us, she too has been wanting to play for a long while

is still on good terms with the other Dokis

is particularly not fond of "fix the game" mods or "save a (/the) Doki(s)" mods

canonically super fucking ticklish (nice)

FOND OF EATING YOGURT BECAUSE SHE LIKES THE THOUGHT OF LIVING CREATURES I N H E R M O U T H .

also enjoys slightly spicy food

is also vegetarian so haha good luck with finding any that aren't 🅱️eppers!

literally the sweetest thing ever omfg

thinks bees are all aliens

no seriously

don't ask her about it

she also quite likes Nozomi's hair

whatever that means

in the end, definitely the most in-depth rp blog I've ever seen, and it's a damn shame no one likes her

on one hand, it's definitely because no one follows rp blogs that don't either have silly doodles with each ask or don't actively get into novel-esque rp scenarios

on the other hand, Kay says she wants to only use "official" assets for now

oh well

y'all need to go look at it because seriously if I didn't know any better I'd say Kay herself is just an irl Moni she does it so well

[avoresmith]

Off anon so you can respond privately if you prefer. Read the recent update, and as always was blown away, however Jesse's bit threw me for a loop. I felt like maybe I'd missed something or didn't read too closely. So I went back and re-read parts of previous chapters with more 'intimate' moments Jesse's had, and I'm not sure how Jesse's dick works? Or why Genji did not remark on it or had anything to say at all besides 'big!' lol. I don't understand why Jesse was worried about chafing (1)

(Note: even tho those notes say 1 and 3 there wasn’t actually a second one... I didn’t leave out anything, lol)

So I’m just gonna start by answering your questions in the most straight forward way possible, then probably talk for a lot dissecting the expectations I’ve been seeing which I think is central to a lot of the confusion (I’ve gotten a number of questions on this in the past few days) since I think that is all pretty interesting stuff. 

So: yes, Jesse’s body is pretty much indistinguishable from what you might expect someone AMAB to have, unless you really know what to look for. I will go a bit into the expectation that he have some kind of physical tell below, but in a universe with healing bullets, people made out of nanomachine clouds, and cyborg ninja boyfriends, I think it’s entirely believable that phalloplasty will level up what little is necessary to where this is possible and a dude with the money/means could have whatever kind of dick he wants. 

And no one missed any ‘flags’, because I made this decision a few months ago, after I posted chapter 12. 

The story there is, essentially, I was seeing some fantastic art of characters being represented as trans and it got me thinking about how I might be able to contribute to this, and then feeling bad that I had missed my chance by assuming the boys in Truce were cis. Then I thought that is silly, there is no reason trans men need to go around ‘flagging’ themselves, or looking some particular way, there’s no reason my trans character can’t have a massive cock in a universe where he can also have a fully functional robotic arm. 

While it may not be how I would’ve included Jesse as a trans character had I planned it from the start of Truce, I still felt it was better to do than not do. And I’m honestly pretty okay with his story, I don’t really feel like I need to go back and leave hints or anything. The dude’s been living as a dude since before puberty, he’s been stealth for almost 20 years. He honestly forgets it was ever a thing or that people might care or assign specific expectations to him based on the knowledge that he was born with a vagina.

(The rest is very rambly and going under a cut due to length):

Now, on to the various expectations, which I’ve been thinking about a lot the last few months, because I did realize for a number of reasons people WOULD be confused.

So expectation 1: If you reveal something late in the narrative there will be hints of that reveal earlier.

I think this is really fair to assume and probably exactly what I would’ve done had I planned this from the start. But the fact that I didn’t really have that opportunity anymore has had me wondering a lot at this. Whether or not it would be better writing to treat Jesse’s gender identity vs birth assignment as something that could have been puzzled out, and the assumption that he would have in some way ‘revealed’ himself as trans before now. 

I don’t really have an answer to this, it’s just something I’ve been fiddling around with. There is no single ‘trans experience’. Jesse isn’t a tumblr baby, he would probably not tell people he identifies as trans, he didn’t have the support of a trans community. He grew up in an anarchist state where the only thing anyone gave a shit about was how good he was at a murder, and boy was he good at a murder. It was fairly easy for him to dress and act in a more masculine manner and expect to be treated like a boy at a young age just because that is how he was most comfortable and I doubt he put much thought into until his mid teens or so.

(This is somewhat idyllic, I could’ve easily made Deadlock hell for him on account of this, but chose not to.)

Anyway, as a result of me making this choice late in the game, I made his story such that it makes sense that ‘being trans’ isn’t really a part of his identity. But I might have given him a different story and perspective had I decided this from the beginning.

2) Next! Trans Dudes Look A Certain Way (or at least their dicks do). I’ve already covered ‘in my science future world there is really no reason for this’, but! When we are talking representation I think this is a really important thing to look at and talk about. 

I was honestly motivated to make Jesse trans BECAUSE of comments from trans people on tumblr talking about how it was nice to be able to see themselves represented as attractive and desirable, and I’m aware a part of that is TODAY, with modern medical technology and also just people’s monetary options, trans men don’t have the option to have what Jesse has, basically. And so there is I think huge value to normalizing what IS available to trans dudes today, over the narrative of 'one day, in the future, maybe this'.

And I really don’t want to dismiss that. Soft cocks, cocks that can only get erect via implants, cocks grown via hormones, vaginas, and any combination thereof or anything else I am forgetting, are all totally valid representations of men’s bodies and deeply want everyone to be able to feel like their bodies are beautiful and attractive and sexual and sensual really regardless of what is going on with their genitalia. 

So while I can easily create an in character, in universe explanation for Jesse’s trans experiences and his body being Kind Of The Traditionally Ideal Male Form, I thought a lot about whether or not to just leave him cis when I realized I’d already canonized his physical appearance and THAT wouldn’t be representative of what I think a lot my readers (some of whom are trans men) would be able to identify with?

=|a

But, there is also a lot I’ve canonized about Jesse other than his big beautiful dick, like his ability to be a total badass, his somewhat confused crawl toward leadership, his emotional intelligence, his perspective on the world that allows him to do what he does and also sleep at night, his recent tendency toward being a gay disaster, how incredibly far he’s come since his childhood to be the man he is today. 

In the end there is no one character who can represent All Trans Dudes, in body or spirit. So I figured it was better to be doing something to add even a tiny bit more perspective and visibility, rather than not do anything because I’d missed my chance to check every possible representation box.

(And, by the way, your question was VERY kind, thank you for asking it. I don’t want it to seem as if because I DROPPED A LOT OF WORDS here, I was defending against an accusation you never leveled. I have in fact been thinking about this a SHITTON and since I have had like... idk, six or so people approach me with different questions all on this subject, I figured I would offer up my take on the whole thing as transparently as I could.)
