I liked fanart of Soren FireEmblem and because that's a very fictional character name Tumblr is recommending me posts about at least 4 distinct Sorens

Honestly good to know I’m not crazy cause I do think there’s a certain lc erasure lately, it happened on ao3 in the arcane tag, their search word on twt is working weirdly, and ofc some people do not want her mentioned in arcane subs related. Honestly to each their own but I just find so funny how they’re trying so hard to bury lux but I assure u, if a lux show comes around the same people will be flipping sides so quickly (maybe not in the lc ship but yes in the loving lux side).
Plus I think it’s so cool that jinx has so many artists dedicated to her lately but as much as their work it’s beautiful, sometimes l can’t help but think “in what mad world will jinx wear smth like that or act that way” lmao, making her so different of how she is, even though she was so subdued in arcane s2 I think the fans subdued her even more in fandom spaces.
Anyways, this is the whole reason why I think lux is gonna be so popular cause I think fanon jinx rn is actually closer to canon lux.
I left Twitter in November and was never really on Reddit to begin with, and given the way the fandom's gone, I don't regret not being on either.
I do find the sheer balls out insecurity of those we shall not name who are trying so hard to erase Lightcannon and bully LC fans out of the fandom spaces both deeply aggravating and hilarious.
A certain other ship gets, what, the showrunners are fans, the animation studio are fans, there's most of a 40 minute episode dedicated to it, the artbook, a chart-topping song in French with a music video and a cover with Coldplay, they keep getting fed over and over.
And it's not enough, somehow?
Lightcannon hasn't shared a skinline in 10 years - oh wait, we got Lovestruck, yay! - oh wait, it's the comphet valentine's skin boooo - and LC fans sighing at 'airship to Demacia' is just our wishful dreaming. We don't trust Riot will ever give us what we want, why would we? They've burned us over and over again.
And yet some people are so scared of this 'non-canon delusional crack ship' where one partner doesn't even exist in the show and there's no signs she will that they're willing to try to bully its supporters out of existence? Really?
If we're so 'non-canon' why are we such a threat?
Baby shippers who can't share space are honestly not worth my time or energy to argue with.
I will critique another ship to my black heart's content but I'll never tell you you can't ship it. I'll never post negative comments on the work of another ship's artists, writers or cosplayers. I'll defend to the death your right to have your fictional blorbos.
Just don't tell me I can't have mine.
(...and may Great Azatoth help you if you try, because that's not a fight you'll win.)
OP, you're also right about the 'subduing' of Jinx. I'm deeply saddened by the fandom's slow burn domestication of a character who at her heart represents chaos, joyful destruction, rebellion against the rules, and the breakdown of established order.
But sure, let's turn the crazy firebrand into a blue-haired tradwife. That feels kinda political too, NGL, in this current cultural moment, doesn't it?
LC represents the opposite to me. Not because "Lux is crazier" - I don't even subscribe to that trope lol - but because Lux represents acceptance and support to Jinx, but Jinx represents rebellion and freedom to Lux.
Neither forces the other to be something she's not, but both represent an open hand offering something the other character already deeply, deeply desires and needs.
The whole world might be out to get them, but they'll be running hand in hand, and fighting back to back.
The freedom to love who you love and be who you are, no matter who others demand you to be, that's my Lightcannon. 💛💙🏳️‍🌈🦄

PWP older brother’s best friend, this is not a fanfiction nor is it related to any fandom. all characters are named, second-person perspective, but not necessarily x reader. this was born of me getting bored and horny when all of a sudden a 2-hour venture turned into three days and my word count more than tripled. title is from ‘I Do and I Don’t’ by Ice Nine Kills, the story is not inspired by the song. WC: 4,043
TAGS: m!OC x f!OC, second person perspective, PWP with enough setup to make it make sense, older brother’s best friend, BBF is heavily tattooed and is a smoker, POV character has no description other than FEELING smaller than BBF, age gap, semi-protected PIV sex (POV character is on birth control), drinking, mentions of past marijuana use, fraught birth sibling relationship, surrogate older brother relationship, implication that POV character has experienced parental abuse if you squint right, smut, power imbalance, infantilization if you pay attention, this guy is lowkey a pervert, DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT.
Tumblr media
You remember the first time you met him. You were eight, he was seventeen. He and your brother had commandeered the treehouse, stinking it the fuck up with their cigarette smoke and the stench of something you could only guess was a live and terrified skunk.
You stuck your head up through the trapdoor, your brother swearing and frantically disposing of what appeared to be a cigarette, and the most concentrated source of the skunky odor. You frowned at him before your eyes snapped over to him.
��Louie, get the fuck out,” your brother hissed.
“It’s my treehouse too, stupid. Who are you?” You pointed at his friend, he laughed.
“Not important. I won’t be around much longer.”
“Okay, Not-Important. Dill, I’m hungry. Dad said you’re in charge so you have to help me make lunch.”
Dylan groaned at you, his friend smirking at him.
“Looks like Dill forgot how to use his legs. I’ll help you out.”
“Is that allowed?” You looked at him suspiciously.
“If Dill says it’s allowed. Plus, as soon as we get you somethin’ to eat, I’m gonna come back out here.”
“Yeah, fine. Just don’t let her try to use the stove,” Dylan grumbled.
You interrogated him as he made you a can of Spaghetti-O’s.
“How do you know Dill?”
“I’ve known him since we were your age.”
“Why do you have earrings in your lip?”
“They’re called snakebites. I think they look cool.”
“Why do you smoke? That’s for grownups, and everyone says they shouldn’t do it either.”
“I’m not the brightest crayon in the box. My parents smoke so I do too.”
“What’s your name?”
“Already told you, it’s not important.”
“Tell me anyway.”
“Are you always this demanding?”
“Mom says I am.”
“Fine. My name’s Travis.”
“Mine’s Louise but everyone calls me Louie.”
“Do you want me to call you Louie?”
“Sure.”
That was the first day you felt like you actually had a brother. Travis listened to you talk, answered all of your questions, if he was annoyed he didn’t let it show. When your parents got home that day, they were visibly unhappy to see you sitting and talking with Travis. When he left they told you they didn’t want you around him, and you couldn’t understand why. They tried to tell you he’d be a bad influence, he wasn’t even the kind of boy they wanted your brother to be friends with.
You had made up your mind; you liked hanging out with Travis, and you weren’t going to stop if it could be helped. He never minded when you would come to pester him while he was visiting your brother, offering you the PlayStation controller, always to Dylan’s dismay. When he left town for college you cried, he hugged you and told you he’d be back to see you for Thanksgiving and Christmas and the whole next summer.
He graduated when you were thirteen, and when your brother moved back in to get his bearings before striking out on his own, Travis made a habit of coming to check in on you while he visited Dylan. He was a much nicer brother than Dylan ever was. He let you paint his nails, although only ever black. He taught you how to do your eyeliner, how to throw a punch, how to play GoldenEye.
You called him in the middle of the night so many times during your teenage years; you were scared of what was happening at a party you were attending, you were one drink too drunk for comfort, you got dumped and stranded alongside a cornfield by some shitbag ex-boyfriend. He never complained, never tattled, always just showed up for you, glad to see you safe. He held your hair for you and never made you feel ashamed that you made a poor decision. You could honestly admit that you loved him.
You’re not sure when you started to like him.
Maybe it was when you finally got curious and he snuck you your first cigarette, lighting the end of yours– hanging out of your mouth– with the burning end of his. Maybe it was the first time you felt his lips touch your forehead as he tucked your fifteen-year-old piss-drunk ass into bed with a sleeve of saltines and a bottle of water.
All you know for sure is, as it all stands, if you keep trying to force down the way you feel it’s going to end very fucking badly for everyone in the house. You watch Dylan across your parents’ living room, his arm around his fiancée’s shoulders. You’ve both moved out by this point, and now you can finally legally drink, so you track their movements across the house as you down your third glass of wine.
You watch Travis, too. 
He’s so handsome. He took his snakebites out around the time you turned 17, and as much as you miss them, you like looking at the tiny scars they left. He doesn’t wear his hair over his eyes anymore, instead, he gels it back to show off the scythe tattoo on the side of his face. The one thing he kept were the pretty stone gauges– “They’re called plugs, Lou.”– that have only gotten larger since he was a teenager. The first time you met him they were only a 00g, now they’re probably about an inch.
He keeps his distance from you tonight. It hurts. He isn’t seeing anyone, you know that for a fact, so you don’t understand why he’s being so cold. Maybe it’s because of Dylan, he always did get defensive whenever Travis would talk about something the two of you did together. Be it something as simple as going to the mall or getting a sandwich, Dylan couldn’t take it. He knew he wasn’t a good brother, deflecting that fact by accusing Travis of having a thing for a little girl. Travis broke Dylan’s nose for even suggesting it.
You had been the one to clean up Travis’s bloody hand. When you asked him why he always made so much effort to take care of you, he responded simply; “Can’t have my girl trying to figure everything out all by herself, can I?”
His girl. That was good enough for you then. Now, as you kiss your mother on the cheek goodnight, your chest hurts at the thought that Travis might still see you as the nosy eight-year-old little girl catching them smoking pot in the treehouse. Dylan’s engagement party is nowhere near over, but you can’t stand to be down here with everyone a moment longer.
You don’t know what time it is when you hear your door creak open, barely stirring. It’s probably just your mother anyway. Your brow furrows as you feel the edge of your bed sink, cracking your eye open and turning your head to face whoever is sitting next to you. Your gasp is quickly quieted by Travis’s hand on your shoulder, his low voice shushing you.
“S’just me. Didn’t get a chance to see you much tonight, figured I’d check and see if you were still up.”
“Am now.” You pat the mattress limply. “G’down here.”
Travis shifts to lay behind you, propping his head up with one hand as the other strokes your hair. His voice is soft.
“Been missing my girl.”
“You missed my birthday.”
“I know, I’m sorry. Being a grownup sucks.” He kisses your temple.
“I’m grown too, T. I’m waiting on my invitation to your birthday party just so I can be petty and RSVP “no.”” He snorts.
“You want an invitation to the big three-oh? You wanna laugh at me gettin’ old?”
“You’re not old. My parents are old.”
“They’re not old either.”
“Meh.”
You can feel his lips curl into a grin against your hair. His hand slides down to rub your arm, fingers poking under the sleeve of your t-shirt as he travels over your skin. You feel goosebumps popping up and Travis snickers.
“You ticklish or sum’?”
“You know I’m not. It just feels nice.”
You lay together in silence, your eyelids slowly beginning to flutter shut.
“You still awake?” he whispers. You nod. “Can I tell you somethin’?”
“Maybe. Good or bad?” You feel cool air on the back of your neck as he exhales a soft laugh.
“Good. I hope.”
“Then I guess so.”
He swallows, brushing your hair away from your face.
“I was kinda lookin’ at you tonight. You looked pretty, that blouse you had on was cute.” His voice is soft.
“So did I look pretty, or cute?”
“What’s the difference?” You roll over to face him.
“You never called me pretty when I was younger, just cute. Girls are cute.”
“You are a girl, yeah?”
“Technicallyyyyy,” you drag it out and Travis shakes his head, smiling softly.
“Yeah, technically. You’re still my girl, right?” His hand rests gently on the side of your face.
“‘Course I am.” You hold onto his shirt with one hand, tracing up and down the handle of the scythe on his face with the nail of your unoccupied index finger.
He brushes his thumb over your cheek, pressing his lips to your forehead intermittently. You can feel your breaths beginning to rattle in your chest, fingers shaking as you readjust your grip on his shirt fabric.
“Hey.” You look up at him. “You looked really
pretty tonight. Since I fucked it up earlier.” You both snort.
“Doesn’t work like that, T. Nice try.”
“I mean it, though. And I’m sorry I didn’t come say hi. I was lookin’ at you the whole time.”
Your breath catches as you feel his hand slipping under the blanket, snaking lazily down your side to your bare hip. You rest one arm over his waist, still tucked under his arm. He tugs you closer, slotting his thigh between yours as his tongue darts out to moisten his lips.
“Tell me no and I’ll stop. Promise.” You whimper softly, covering your mouth as you nod.
His grip on your hip becomes firmer as he slowly rocks you back and forth against the denim of his jeans. You can feel your entire body trembling, nails digging into his side. He hisses, resting his finger under your chin.
“Relax, baby. Just focus here,” he whispers, pointing to a faded tattoo in this hollow of his throat. You nod and he kisses your forehead. “That’s my girl.”
You try your best to keep your eyes on his neck, distracted by the feeling of your own leg brushing up against his cock as the fabric tightens over it. You sneak a cautious hand down, unbuttoning his jeans carefully.
“What’re you doing there, hm?” Your face feels hot and he smirks. “S’okay. You wanna take it out? Go ‘head.”
So full of confidence only a moment ago, now balking at the prospect of laying in your bed with Travis, both of you at least partially unclothed. He kisses the corner of your mouth and you feel dizzy.
“Want me to do it? That’s fine, here.”
He pulls away and you fight a strange urge to whine, now missing the pleasant friction. You watch as he unzips his jeans, pushing them down enough to expose the bulge in his boxers. You swallow hard, eyes darting back and forth from the outline of his cock to his lips, and to the fingers teasing the inside of your thigh, just shy of the gusset of your panties. Your hips buck of their own volition as he drags one finger over your clit, covering your mouth and squeezing your eyes shut.
“Let’s make it a little more even, yeah?”
He stands, pushing the denim down his legs to the carpet and stepping out. You didn’t realize just how tattooed his legs are, eyes wandering from his shins to his stomach. He rests one knee on the mattress in front of you, head tilted as he looks down at you. The light from your television illuminates him from behind, shadowing his face, hiding it from your sight.
“I can’t see you,” you whisper. You hear him chuckle.
“Let’s fix that.”
He pulls you up, taking your spot and tugging you down over his chest. You prop yourself up with one arm, fingernails drifting over his lip and the tiny healed scars. Travis rests on one arm behind his head, the knuckles of his free hand gently stroking your thigh.
Now or never.
You lean back, slowly pulling your shirt off and dropping it to the floor. You hear him swallow and swear under his breath, his hand coming to rest on your now-bare side.
“Gotta make it even, T.” He grins at you.
He sits up a little, tugging his shirt off and tossing it as he leans back. He’s so handsome, a few strands of hair hitting his forehead, his hand squeezing your hip. You beckon him toward you and he sits up again, wrapping his arms around your back as you hook your legs around his waist, resting your hands on his neck.
You open your mouth to speak, instead closing it and swallowing harshly. Travis knows, he’s always known exactly what you’re thinking.
He kisses you softly, holding you upright as you practically melt into his chest. He moans against your mouth as your skin meets, and you can feel his fingers trembling on your back. You pull away slightly, scanning his face.
“Am I making you nervous?”
“You aren’t.”
“Why are your hands shaking so bad?”
“Your brother’s a scary motherfucker.”
“Not my dad?”
“Lou, I watched you knock your dad down.”
“Why are you scared of Dylan?”
“Remember when I broke his nose?”
“I’m not a little girl, T.”
“I know.”
“I can make my own decisions.”
“You always have.”
You rest your forehead on the side of Travis’s neck, sweeping one hand over his back and shoulder. You feel him swallow, his hips carefully pushing up into yours. You whimper into his skin, pushing down to meet him.
“Just don’t want you to think I’m some kind of…” His breath is ragged.
“I don’t.”
“I mean, you were—”
“But I’m not anymore,” you whisper, scraping your teeth over his shoulder.
He hisses, moaning as you bring one of his hands to cover your breast. He flips you both, pinning your wrists to your pillow as he grinds his pelvis into yours. You gasp, hooking one leg over his back and yanking one hand free. You pull his head down, kissing him so hard you’re sure one of you must have split a lip. He bites, growling as he does, pushing one hand between the two of you. You gasp, your palm pressing against his chest. He swears under his breath, covering your hand with his and holding your face carefully in the other.
“Shit, I’m sorry. Got carried away. Y’okay?” You nod, closing your eyes as he kisses your cheek.
“M’okay. Just wasn’t expecting it.”
Travis shifts and lays down, pulling your back to his chest. You can feel him kissing your neck softly, his lips moving as he mumbles something into your skin. You pull his hand to your mouth, kissing his knuckles.
“I can’t see you,” you whisper.
You feel him move again as he climbs over you, eyelids fluttering shut as he kisses you.
“Wanna try that again? Little less teeth?” You snicker at his question.
You don’t answer, shuffling under him as you work your panties halfway down your thighs, grabbing one of his hands and resting it on your leg.
“Even it out, T.”
He slides down, moaning against your skin, pressing his lips to the inside of your thigh. You can make out his hands frantically pushing his boxers down, the light from the television silhouetting his cock.
“Lou?”
“Hm?”
“Y’know how I’ve always been really fuckin’ impatient when I want something?”
“You’re showing some pretty solid self-control.”
“Not gonna last much longer.”
“I never said you had to wait.”
He kisses your stomach, tugging your panties off your legs before pushing your thighs apart to make room for his hips. You whimper as he slides the head of his cock through your folds, poking him once in the chest as he places the tip at your entrance. He looks up at you, raising an eyebrow.
“Forgetting something?”
“I started driving you to get your birth control when you were fourteen. I know you’re smart enough to stay on it.”
He groans as he pushes into you, covering your mouth to stifle the yelp tearing out of your throat. His hand covers half of your face, you can feel his fingers digging into your cheekbones and you squeak under his palm. He shushes you softly, kissing your temple.
“I know baby, I’m sorry. But I need you to be quiet for me, okay? Think you can do that?” You do your best to nod, biting your lip and whimpering as he removes his hand. “Good girl.”
He fucks you slowly, lacing his fingers into yours and kissing your knuckles.
“That’s my girl. You’re doin’ good, baby. Feels so fuckin’ good,” his teeth graze the shell of your ear as he whispers.
“Fuck– Travis please– faster,” your voice hitches in your throat as you try to speak.
“Any faster and you’re gonna have to lay on your belly. You’re too loud, baby.” He kisses you softly.
“I’ll be quiet, I promise. You can cover my mouth if you want.” You squeeze his fingers, trying your damnedest to convince him.
“Okay, I’ll cover your mouth. You sure you can take it?”
Travis smirks as you near-frantically nod, and you could swear you see the whiteness of his teeth reflecting the television screen. His hand is over your face, hips snapping into yours without warning. You feel tears pricking at your eyes, squeezing them shut as he fucks into you relentlessly. You dig your nails into your pillow, your moans into his palm interrupted by hiccuping sobs.
He slows, removing his hand and shushing you. Your cheeks sting as if he’d dug his nails in, burning from the tears defying your will and slipping out.
“C’mon baby, you told me you could take it. What happened?”
“Travis you were h– hurting me,” you whimper. He sucks his teeth, shakes his head.
“You’re not a little girl anymore, right? You gotta learn how to handle this kind of stuff. I’m just doing what I always do, baby. Can’t have my girl trying to figure everything out all by herself.”
He’s right.
He’s just teaching you, the same thing he’s done since the day you met him.
“If I start going faster, are you gonna be a good girl? Gonna be quiet for me, not gonna complain?”
“I’ll be good, I promise.”
“You “promised” last time. Pinkie promise, baby.”
He holds up his pinkie and you hook yours to it, biting the inside of your cheek as he begins pounding into you again. He exhales raggedly and kisses his thumb, allowing you to pull your linked fingers closer to your lips. You kiss your thumb in return, pressing it against his. He kisses you, moaning into your mouth as his grip on your hip tightens for a moment.
The pressure on your hip is gone and your back arches as you feel his thumb circling your clit, your eyes rolling as you whine. He silences you with another kiss, and you finally force yourself to focus. He tastes like the American Spirits he’s always smoked, and you can smell the barest remnants of Franzia red wine on his breath. You notice your own breath quickening, nipping his lip as your legs begin to shake.
“You gonna cum, baby? Cum on my fucking cock, I wanna fucking feel it.�� 
You wrap your legs over his back, entire body trembling. You thank god he’s smart and doesn’t change anything that he’s doing, biting his shoulder as you twitch and yelp into his flesh. He shushes you, slowing the pace of his thrusts to guide you through, carefully removing his hand.
You realize you’ve been holding his pinkie with yours the whole time, loosening your grip on it as you release his shoulder. He kisses across your jaw, teeth grazing your skin.
“That’s my girl, good job baby. Did so good Louie, you’re such a good listener.”
You feel your face heating up and you're glad for the limited visibility in your room.
“My turn to feel good. Flip over baby, on your belly for me.”
He pulls out slowly, strokes himself lazily as he watches you turn onto your stomach. His hand is on your ass, kneading and groping the flesh as he fucks into you gently. His breath is hot on your spine, his hips stuttering as he tries to control himself. You press your face into your pillow. Travis knows, he’s always known exactly what you’re thinking.
He fucks you hard and fast, and you wish you didn’t have to face the pillow. You wish you could scream, the sounds of your flesh and Travis’s ragged breathing driving you toward a second orgasm. You feel your breaths growing shallow, tears welling up in your eyes as your thighs tremble. Travis’s hand is in your hair suddenly, tugging your head back just enough that he can hear you whimpering. He kisses your neck, biting your shoulder as he groans.
“Sweet fuckin’ girl. My fuckin’ baby, aren’t you? You’re my fuckin’ girl, Louie. Always. Fuckin’. Will be.”
He punctuates the words with sharp thrusts, pulling your hair so hard you can’t help but cry. His other hand covers your mouth as he kisses the hair behind your ear, his speed unrelenting. All you can focus on is just how big he is, how full you are, how small you feel under him like this. He whimpers in your ear, swearing as he falters.
“Oh fuck, gonna fuckin’ cum–”
He hisses, hips snapping into you once more as he moans and sinks his teeth into your shoulder. You cry into his palm, sure he’s broken skin. You can feel his body trembling over yours, the heave of his chest as he catches his breath. He swallows harshly, shushes you softly and brushes your hair away from your face. He sweeps his thumb over your cheek, kissing the back of your head.
“You did so good, Louie. Made me feel so good. So fuckin’ good, baby,” he whispers, pulling out of you slowly.
You hear his breath rattle as he drags his finger over the bite on your shoulder, and you can feel that it’s too much moisture to just be saliva. You wince, Travis rolling onto his side and pulling your back against his chest. He wraps his arms around your torso, placing soft kisses to your hair and rubbing your forearm with his knuckles.
“Hey, y’okay?”
“M’fine. Just tired now.”
“I mean it, are you okay? I know I was bein’ kinda rough.”
“I’m okay, T. Promise. It felt good,” you whisper, running the pads of your fingers over the back of his hand.
He kisses your cheek, squeezing you closer.
“I had a thought.” You hum at him.
“That’s dangerous.” He covers your mouth and raspberries your neck, muffling your squeal.
“Anyway, I figure I will invite you to my birthday party. You RSVP “yes,” and I can fuck you in every room of my house.” He squeezes your breast, nipping your ear as you shiver.
“Just not in the attic. There are probably raccoons or something up there.” You cover his hand with yours.
“Oh, I’m gonna fuck you in the attic for sure now. Give the raccoons a show.” He kisses your neck and you snicker.
“You’re such an asshole.”
“Hey now, that’s not nice. Thought I raised you better than that.”
You can feel his hand snaking down your stomach, turning your head to look at him as you part your thighs. He’s so handsome.
“Guess you’re just gonna have to make sure the lesson sticks.” Your back arches as you feel his fingers pushing into you, his lips on your shoulder.
“Don’t you worry about that. I’ll tell you as many times as I have to.”

◇(Introduction)◇
"...Hello? Is this thing on?
If anyone's out there, on whatever stations this thing has-it looks like it only has one??- My name's......uh...
My names... Lee. Nothin more you gotta know than that. I've been sailing the mighty ocean for maybe... five or six years? I dunno, I lost my calendar last month. But anyways, that's not important.
I found this shabby old radio in my nets a few days ago, and shockingly, the old hunk of metal works! Never knew the atlantic had that sorta sea life. It kinda felt like finding treasure, just without the map or the pirates, or-!
Uh. Well. What was i saying...? Oh, right!
The purpose of this message is, well...nothing fancy. Guess ive...been getting kinda lonley out here, you know? I'm doing good, don't get me wrong! But, uhm. The fish don't make good conversation. And, uh. You can only talk to your reflection so many times before ya run outta stories, haha. Plus, can you imagine the shit this radios endured? It's insane it's still functional! Seems like some sorta sign.
I guess I'm just casting this message out to see if anyone's out there, if anyone wants to just chat, or something, like two old pals who have absolutely no idea who each other are. And hey, maybe we can exchange a few stories...? Or, or not- that's stupid. I'm loosin my marbles out here!
......
Oh, right, it's still on, uh... Well, fellow sailors or gorgeous women in my area, I hope the seas are treating you well! I gotta go prepare for the up and coming storm, but I'll leave this junk on, if anyone's listening. Cya for now!
....Oh, and, Six? if you're out there, i hope you're doin alright.
Moses, I hope this doesn't go wrong somehow..."
(ooc message under cut)
(OOC: Heya, @cheeseinthesea here, otherwise known as clover/cheese! I'm the clown running this whole circus! If you already read the description, you have some info already. But here's a bit more on this au/askblog if your curious:
In this AU, Stanley and ford still had their fight, but the portal was never activated. After the dust cleared, Stanley agreed to take the journal and leave after seeing how much this affected ford. He gave up his life to fix Fords, as he saw it. However, rather than burying Journal 1, he holds onto it and simply sails, believing nowhere he leaves it will be safe enough.(he wants to do something worth while.) He's ditched the life of crime in order to keep it safe, living off of fishing and the occasional pickpocketing in towns. He's presumed dead by most in this universe given his silence.
One morning, he fished up a radio from the sea. In this case, the people on the other end of the radio are asks! the radio is like...weird. you know. idk man if you want more specifics I can dive into it sometime
To be honest, I wasn't planning on making this a serious thing, but the idea plauged me, so here we are. A few base rules, though;
1. Again, this doesn't have to be serious! You can make asks as silly or as serious, complex or as simple as you want. You can be from any Fandom or no Fandom, you can give stanley stuff if you want, ect ect ect. Go wild! Hell, break onto his ship and give this horrid rat of a man a heart attack at age 36/silly. I dont have a plot or anything for this au, so like. genuienly fuck it we ball.(also, asks with images will just be like a photo appearing out of thin air. I thought too much in this.)
2. Pleasee.try to keep things appropriate. I am not comfortable with sexual topics or implications (jokes are fine but within reason. Be snart)
..that's all I can think of actually HFBHS. If you want to ask me specifically a question, address the question to Clover/Cheese and I'll respond in blue. Also, for the record, I.. I only got into gravity falls like. A month ago. Walks away sadly/lhj. So my interpretation of him may be a bit off, but that's why I wanted to start with an au rather than just a Canon interpretation in case they feed me to the wolves ,
(In character asks will be tagged with sailors-log! ooc stuff will just be clover-talks. I made this. Two days ago and have been working on it periodically.)
☆Bon Voyage!!!☆
(Also, go check out my main blog if you want! I post art. And talk a bit sometime!)

gonna say something controversial...
i'm going to put this under the cut bcs it got long. read at your own risk? check the tags?
i just backed out of a fic, which is smth that i do often when i don't like an aspect of it or when there's smth i'm uncomfortable with in the fic. there not actually anything like that with this recent one really, i'm not uncomfortable with anything or dislike anything about it.
just that not even third way through it, i realised that it's aventio. and while i'm a firm ratiorine enjoyer, the fic was rated T, i figured that i'll read it to see if i enjoy it, y'know?
i got through half of it before finally backing out.
this is where it might get controversial.
some months ago in the big year of 2024, there was a widespread discussion on many platforms (not just tumblr) on ship names. how it's all so boring nowadays, just the name of the characters smushed together and how dumb it is to differentiate one for when character A is the top and one for when character B is the top.
i do generally agree that some ship names could be better. there are some ship names that don't sound great no matter how their names are combined. but i do think it's actually important to differentiate the "top".
NOT just for PWP reasons, tho obviously that's one of the reasons why people have different ship names depending on which character tops. denying this particular reason is redundant.
mostly tho, from many (and i do mean, many) experience of reading fics, rated E, M, G, or T otherwise, people do write (and draw) differently depending on who tops.
this particular fic that i mentioned is one of them. aventio (and i'm using this bcs that's how the fic author intended it) were on a mission gone wrong (standard premise). ratio was escaping from the enemy, got cornered, got saved by avent, and off they went, improvising their escape route. during this whole thing, ratio was freaking out bcs avent was holding his hand (very cute author, plus ten points. we need more shy ratio in the fandom).
they got cornered into hiding and just when they were about to be able to escape unnoticed, ratio hit something in the dark and it crashed to the floor, loudly.
then they were both panicking, bcs clearly the enemy was investigating the noise. in a flash of brilliant problem solving, avent asked for ratio's agreement to fake make out with him (nothing fake about it tho, they both made the most of the situation and enjoyed themselves). the enemy was flustered (not recognising who they were), tried (and failed) to sternly warned them to evacuate (bcs after getting an eyeful of the smooching sesh, it's awkward for them lmao).
and i stopped reading there bcs i cracked up so hard i was late to work (and i'm not even joking).
bcs the author specifically typed smth along the lines of "Aventurine stayed where he was, covering Ratio with his body in the hopes to keep the guards from recognising him."
i was not prepared for that mental image, honestly.
i'm not making fun of the author in any way. it was refreshing to read up until that point. bcs in this fic, ratio is the one fumbling like a schoolgirl with a crush while avent was very assured in their partnership. but i just can't handle thinking that avent, who can stand behind ratio and hide without actually trying to, can actually hide ratio with his body.
and ngl, this fic writes ratio in an almost traditionally romance heroine way. he was blushy and giddy, even during the escape. freezing when the enemy cornered him and needed to be saved by avent.
i'm not saying ratiorine fics don't do this btw, there are fics that made avent a bit more traditionally feminine. (a damsel type of character, which just, no. he's very much capable, he had survived a lot canonically. i also backed out of those type of fics.)
what i am saying, and the whole point of this long post (which i thought was gonna be short), is that there's a necessity for the distinction of ship names. aventio and ratiorine both featured ratio and aventurine but they are depicted in vastly different ways. sometimes, the distinct ship name helps us find the art (be it fics or fanarts) that align with our characterisation of these characters.
every fan has different headcanons and characterisations for the characters they like, and while it may seem "confining" or "dumb" to care about who tops or bottoms, it actually impacts how someone writes (or draws) the characters.
i see so many artists that tagged their art as both ratiorine and aventio that clearly only needed to tag it as aventio and vice versa. there's a reason people use this system to begin with and it works for the longest time. those who don't care about who tops or just enjoy reading them switch dynamics usually use a third ship name.
honestly, if you reach this part, i appreciate you. be it bcs of curiosity or if you actually agree or reading just to disagree.
all that i ask is you actually pay attention and see if you can differentiate the distinction, how much the dynamics impact how the author or the artist portray them as individual characters. not just ratiorine in particular, but any ships you enjoy.
anyway, thanks for reading till the end. have a great time, be it early morning or late night or anything in between wherever you are. and if you do want to disagree, pls do so kindly.

Do you have any old art or comics you gave up on?
I have been given the power to go on a super yap... :happy: :happy: :happy:
I have a lot of stories I gave up on because I had too many (20 if I recall right), but the ones I've kept/survived from my middle school story purge were Two Over A Kind, and Shadow Killed. However I have other stories that came after those two after I entered high school such as Mandela's Requiem, Backyard Thursday, Never So Norm, Collidests, and Rose Burnt, (yes I have a lot of stories, but they're not lore heavy so they might seem short/fast)
Although the only official rendition of a comic out right now would be Mandela's Requiem but I want to re-draw it in a different format similar to my ask blog @ask-the-druggieverse and what Homestuck uses because it's easier and I can gather all the images I draw and upload it YouTube for people to read
As for old art? oh geez I have a LOT of old art....
Tumblr media
I'll put it under a read more and separate them by year U_U
Also blood warning (gore maybe too? not sure what to label it-) and huge and tiny spoilers for Mandela's requiem!!! (I just felt very proud of those drawings and I also can't help myself but show the future plans I have for MR's story!!) (and also characters that will appear in MR's epilogues!)
Part 2 Post
(Also if you see this in a fandom tag I.E Undertale, The Last Dimension.... Dream SMP. (neutral) then that's why (This was back in 2020 and I was still in 7th-8th grade at this time (I'm a senior right now) so don't judge me(I only drew beeduo and Michael so don't worry it's not those creature (IYKYK)))
(And no, I don't plan on drawing any DSMP in the near future, maybe if requested and the person isn't problematic (I.E Ranboo, Tubbo etc etc) however for the problomatic ones they will get heavy re-design/name change so they don't resemble their og character/persona to seperate the two more because I don't like looking at them knowing what they did. (Especially C!Wilbur, I view him looking different/being named something else)) (sorry if I keep yapping about this I know people hate the DSMP so much and I don't want to get attacked again (I've been attacked before in the past for liking it back in 2021-2022 on my old TT account (deactivated, my current TT account is dead and I never want to return to TT again.) so just mentioning DSMP on my main blog scares me a bit I hope you understand!))
2025 (Hey!! this Year!! :D)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some of these you've seen I'm guessing, I haven't drawn a lot of stuff yet but it's still the first month of 2025 ^w^, as for the first image It's still a W.I.P as there's other batches I need to complete! (If you wanna see them feel free to ask) I'm also gonna change it so that Cream is the son of Nicecream guy because when designing Cream I had the intentions of him being an OC and not an AU, Nicecream guy legit had 0 part to play when making him
Same goes for Hamburg, Calliope, and Basil as they're based of existing OC's mainly and not undertale OC's when they were supposed to (crazy)
Image Order:
1st: Fiddletale mini batch No.3
2nd: A Backyard Thursday trio!
3rd: Consent!Sans
4th: An ATDV Panel
5th: Someone needed help drawing beards so I made a ref to help U_U
2024
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
None of these I bet anyone has seen unless they're in discord servers I'm in
Anywhos, these are mostly oc's and 1 MAU I've talked about before (slice of pie verse)
Image Order
1st: My first drawing of 2024!! it's for my my OC story "Never So Norm" I was trying to find a design for Aliza AKA Ty's mom!, I'm gonna re-deisgn her again later because I don't see her as skinny anymore but a little more chubby U_U
2nd: Mandela's Requiem's epilogue characters! for any creepypasta fans out there yes... MR is like super/heavily inspired off of CRP characters, plus Ben Drowned was free game sense no one owned him (Nintendo technically own's this character legally but hey, fuck it we ball), and as for Casey I think you can guess who she's a walmart version of (Rina is completely original, I only added the "the killer" part cuz I thought it would be silly)
3rd: Backyard Thursday god silhouette list! I haven't fully drawn them out and needed some silhouette's to see how they would all look like!
4th: Mandela's Requiem epilogue Chester character sheet! I haven't touched this specific character sheet in a LONG time and need to come back to it as this story is one of the very few stories that has a small cast of characters to work on!!
5th: Slice Of Pieverse unified!Nightmare hehe ^w^ tiny spoilers: In SOPV fusion is a thing after the calamity happened (it's a split timeline of Underverse where Bill!Sans is a bit more important) although this isn't a "fusion" form, families (either blood related or adopted) don't fuse, they unify (essentially they can use each others abilities/their abilities become stronger)
2023 (oh geez, the in-between era of my old and current style..)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of these are oc's (that includes the DGRP oc)
Image Order
1st: MY SILLIES FROM TWO OVER A KIND!!! ILY GUYS SMMM The main character isn't there but eh, these were re-designs ish as some of them changed from being half-vampire to full human (Duke & Jackey) and some just needed color palate changes or design changes (David & Luu)
2nd: I think my 3rd or 5th attempt at lineless? I don't know but I remember struggling a lot to do lineless so I just kinda just gave up, but hey! Look at me now! I really love lineless art now!!
3rd: My Danganronpa OC Yaku Unmei (or just Unmei) for a cancelled DGRP roleplay (I do not support the creator of the old roleplay. She intentionally or not has groomed minors into being desensitized to NSFW (I was already desensitized to it from the past but it's still fucked up) and wrote proship stuff.(I don't fucking care if it was for "accuracy" that shit was clearly a fetish. I can't believe your friends made me think for a second you weren't a groomer all because you have autism that's fucking insane.)) On a different note because I'm still not over that whole situation and person. (trauma response sorry) Unmei while being the ultimate unlucky student is one of the survivors of the killing game! If it was still ongoing... now she's just a DGRP OC that I might implement into one of my main stories
4th: More Never So Norm doodles! This time of beta-Terezi and Samy interacting! not too proud of how I drew Samy but hey... this is the inbetween era... :3
5th: Our lord and savior Jake Murdalinn who's also from Never So Norm, I love you Jake Murdalinn, my favorite ghost hunter and SFX crew guy
2022 (oh man the nostalgia is kicking in guys) (this folder and before it are so disorganized I cannot tell you which drawing I did after my first one in order U_U)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh geez... t h a t e r a... the era where I would just create create create and procrastinate a lot, I'm thankful for all of the characters that came out of it though
Image Order
1st: my Frist drawing of 2022, aka my OC 0-Riguren or Origuren (twas my mash mash words = name era as well), he's from TOAK (and needs a HEAVY re-design and STAT.)
2nd: Fanart of Phillip from the last dimension on webtoon! Also tiny fun fact! Phillip was the other inspiration for my OC Danny (I haven't drawn him yet but I have an idea) (Although the main inspiration was yet again, Karkat Vantas (Homestuck is one of my special interests so I have a lot of stuff inspired from Homestuck))
3rd: a TOAK height chart line up, and my second time trying to make one! my first time was.... augh... heavy note on making a height chart, there are going to be a lot of characters being similar in height and there's no need to worry about that (I worried about it my first time around...)
4th: Ah yes, Fiddletale... and.... Bartertale. (NOTE: Barter is no longer a sans or an AU, he's just an OC that's in BT along with Fiddle(long story but after Fiddletale ends It's no longer an AU however people can still claim it as an AU IDC bc everyone's gonna get re-designs for BT so essentially they're separate characters in a way)), some changes between Bartertale!Barter and Backyard Thursday!Barter: AU: Cis Man, A Sans, Skeleton, Out!Code BT: Trans Man, Half-Human Half-Skeleton no undertale involved, just a regular citizen trapped in a country in a forever winter Also Fiddle and Barter are husbands in BT <3
5th: The very first drawing I've done for Collideists... Also fun fact: This story would have never been made if I never joined an event in a discord server I'm in where everyone was making these species called "Shadow Creatures" I chipped in and created a "Light Creature" concept and things went on from there
2021 (OH HELL NAW JIGSAW GO BACK GO BAAACK :sob: :pray:)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you SEE how different my style was back in 2021!? oh lord... I'm like- super proud of my development... heh...
Image Order
1st: Amari Feng, She's from my given up story called "A Fantasized Beginning", I gave up on this story because I had too many stories and this one just had too much stuff going on (In short: It's basically RWBY and MHA mixed into one, kids go to school to become pro-hero's in outer-space because an evil group known as "the dark entropy" were colonizing/taking over planets and the heros had no idea how they kept doing it, and then BOOM!!! PLOT FUCKING TWIST!!! the number 1 pro-hero was the one conducting the evil groups plans all along and the hero get's stopepd by the MC's, although the colonizing and taking over doesn't stop as more villains pop up and hero's continue being hero's but this time the hero's have a easier time saving everyone) I made this story when I was in middle school along with many others, although after I did my story purge the only two stories that survived were Shadow Killed and Two Over A Kind (TOAK had a massive story overhaul and is not like it's OG plotline) I don't have plans to go back to this story, however I might if I complete all of my stories before I die, which I'm sure I will because I'm shortening a lot of them, and if I do I will DEF shorten AFB by a lot because middle school me planned like 16 something seasons (jesus.) (Also Amari was not the MC but an antagonist that later becomes an MC and was heavily inspired off of Himiko Toga(Can you tell?))
2nd: Heh... My first attempt at lineless art.... This is also back when Blipthyn was blue and was named Blueprint, I do not like TOAK's 5th rendition of a story as I was going through a hard time and heavily trauma dumped the shit out of that specific rendition of TOAK and just scrapped a lot of it, only a few things I liked survived in the current 6th? 7th? version of the story and I plan to keep it that way unless it becomes too long in my eyes
3rd: THE CTT!!! CHAOS TIME TRIO!!! Also my fist art/was around the time I met my friends Keter and Geno in the lunime discord server! we all loved undertale at this time and formed this group, a lot of things changed about each character so these are their old/beta designs, however this piece still has a place in my heart because of how special it is to me :hearts:
4th: I'm gonna be for real with you I have no fucking clue who this was for These aren't my characters nor do I remember the person who created these OC's, I do know I was very proud of this drawing because I made the other person super happy, I just dunno who it was so if by any chance you're the creator of these characters hi!!! :3
5th: Heh... Hello Swap <3 ILY <3
????-2020 (I don't know if all of this art was from 2020, all I know is that I shoved a bunch of art in this folder because I didn't wanna loose it XP) (also this only has 4 because I reached the 30 image limit so I will make a part 2 of my yap session U_U)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
HEAVY NOTE: I do not support the problematic creators of the DSMP. I am a firm believer in separating the art from artist(s) to an extent. If both the art and Artist are problematic they can't be separated (I.E TCOAAL(I hate this game and creator.))
I do not support Dream, Wilbur Soot, ETC ETC, Even though I don't talk about the DSMP on this blog often I will refer to the roleplay characters with different names to help further separate the RP characters and person I.E: Wilbur: Wynter(Or Winter)(Sorry but ever sense the Shelby stuff my brain magically imagined a different guy in C!Wilbur's place)(i'm being so fucking fr rn, every time someone mentions C!Wilbur I think of someone different same goes for the others too), Dream: Delusion and Ambition(For DreamXD), George: Cogs ETC ETC (In fact I encourage anyone still in the DSMP fandom to do the same cuz Dream is getting a little too close to his DSMP character rn...)
Image Order
1st: Laim! he's also from another cancelled story called 12-15-22-5, or also known as 12-15-22-5 Project: Life this story was a romance between a resurrected angel heading and a human, the resurrected angel's goal from the company he was revived from was to find a way to break someone's heart/love to the point of dying so that they could kill a god (for some reason?? my middle school self never really specified why) However things backfire as the resurrected Angel falls in love with the love interest (heh... not straight BTW...) and other resurrected angels are sent after him and his friends because it'll "sabotage" their plan, I never planned an ending for this story but I do remember that this story was inspired off of HXH and Four Leaf on webtoon
2nd: I'm gonna be so fr I don't know why I made this character (his name is Phrog)
3rd: Ian and Damien's first ever design <33 And also Shadow Killed's first ever concept art! their designs have been changed by now so yeah :(, in fact this art was made back when I was beginning to feel happy again, although that died out because Middle School was super rough for me.
4th: Ah yes.... DSMP.... Beeduo.... and... MICHEAL!!! (This was back when the DSMP was at it's prime from my knowledge... augh...) I'm gonna so fr with you I never saw Michael (Beeduo's adopted child) as white I'm so sorry, I always viewed Michael as black I don't know why I did I just did XP, no hate to anyone who views Michael as white, I just never saw it myself This isn't ship art btw. You will be blocked if tagged as ship. (Not Threatening/Serious)
Part 2 Soon (Mainly for the comics because I reached the photo limit and I wanna show some old comic panels now :( )

It seems like the stans are invading the tag again. I never get over how they are delulu about trying to "take back the tag" or whatever it is they think they are doing like it's normal to type "canon 'character name'" as a tag instead of just "character name". Plus the fact that the tag has an origin story that isn't even that old.
Not only that, but the irony of the fact that they are purposefully going on a crusade against a group they are antagonistic for specifically in the place that group made to be out of the way and mind their own business. Just because they are still butthurt over the name. Like you were informed so you could *block* the tag name and not have to deal with seeing it in the main tag anymore, but naaaah instead you all mob in here trying to erase the former occupants. Golly gee, this all seems to really look like a similar situation as something in that book you all say we don't get as well as you because we purposefully misunderstand the character in question. I guess you just have no choice but to come in here and take over the tag or else what would the other fandom character stans think of you 😢. If you don't come in here trying to take over the tag, they might think you aren't actually stans of your character. Right? Because there was no other way... That's what you always say right? We can't hold you accountable for your actions because if you don't do it you wouldn't be a strong sect leader I mean stan of your character.
Anyways you guys are why the block button exists, and I'm going to continue to take a page out of WWX's book and cut you guys out of the tag by using it 🥰

My 9-1-1 Thoughts
This is long winded, but I wanted to share my journey with watching this show. I need to share and release all the thoughts bouncing around my head after last nights episode before I go insane.
I'm posting my thoughts here on my main blog and then will repost it on my 9-1-1 side blog (@911andforyou). It is mostly for the show and bucktommy, if you don't want to see it please stay away and be nice.
All will be under the keep reading and I'm going to try and tag careful because I'm a nobody and don't feel comfortable posting in the tags.
P.S. this is not a goodbye to the show, I will continue to watch, I'm just sad about last nights episode and want to reflect on how I ended up watching in the first place.
I began watching 9-1-1 when it moved over to ABC. I live in a small town with not great antenna signal so I only get ABC, which means I didn't know about the show until last year.
My first episode was of course S7E1, I believe (if my memory serves me right) I think I caught the last 15 minutes of it (I have a weird work schedule so bear that in mind). Then the rest of the cruise ship arc happened and same thing caught last 15- 30 minutes of those episodes too. Then i believe ABC aired all 3 episodes back to back one night and I was able to catch them all, and was hooked and also very confused.
What confused me was well everything I guess. I didn't know who these characters were, didn't know their names, even when they said them I couldn't remember them, but I was hooked all thanks to that damn cruise ship and Angela Bassett and Peter Krause. The other characters hooked me in too, their wit and humor and care for one another was a real draw.
The rest of the season went on, continued to catch episodes here and there, missed some entirely but was still hooked, trying to figure out everything with just Season 7.
Then comes the decision to binge watch, after the season had finished I knew I had to watch the other seasons to fully understand everything that went on. That, that decision has led here.
During my binge watch, I knew immediately that all these characters were important and something about them just felt comfortable to me, not sure how else to describe it.
What drew me to the show in the first place was Athena and Bobby but as I watched from the beginning each character became my favorite, in some way, shape or form. I truly do not hate any of the characters (shocker, right!). The stories were also interesting which felt like I needed to know more, no matter what the story was, whether it was backstory or an emergency, I couldn't stop watching.
Now I don't really want to get into the whole "ship wars" and everything (but I will), but imagine my surprise when I began searching online in the middle of my binge watch, for anything about the show, and came across B*ddie. Now that was truly confusing to me, I had no idea that was something people were watching for or were "seeing". I'll be honest I wasn't opposed to it at first when first reading about it, but when I re-entered the world of Tumblr (I left many moons ago, after my other dearly loved show (OUAT) and "trauma" of being in fandom sent me away) and began to read things, I was immediately turned off by it because of how mean and nasty some people were (this was before I even got to watch S7E4). Plus I just didn't see what all the B*ddies were seeing, Buck and Eddie reminded me of me and my friend where we just care about each other deeply, but have our own separate lives.
Eventually, through my binge watch I got back to season 7, understood all the cruise ship arc better then when I first watched, and continued on, which leads to being quite surprised when Buck and Tommy kissed. Now this goes back to my previous statement about the whole "ship war" I did not want to hop on to any ships, I was trying to stay very much General Audience (LOL), but I was very intrigued by BuckTommy, I don't know why but for me, there was excitement there. I continued watching and lurked around here and after some time, decided to hop aboard the BuckTommy ship. There was just something about them and all the post that I was seeing involving them seemed much more welcoming and happy compared to the other ship.
As I continued to lurk around, I felt more and more passion for the show, especially now hopping aboard a ship that I liked, there was something exciting, it felt like being in the OUAT fandom again, without the "trauma". I learned to just laugh at a stupid take, block and move on. However, I was still hesitant on actually posting about the show or BuckTommy, but lo and behold here I am, started posting after the breakup (how stupid is that LOL).
Now to last nights episode, what a gut punch. Bobby being one of the reasons that I started to watch this show, where no one dies, suddenly dying of a fucking virus. What The Hell!!! I don't really have much to say other than I'm sad and mad and clearly the creator of the show is insane, for wanting to change up the aspect of the show for "creative reasons" *cough BULLSHIT cough*. And the cast all trying to sway him to not do it, is so shitty as well.
Like I said at the beginning of my post I will continue to watch the show because as much as Bobby and Athena where the initial draw into watching the show I have developed much care and a lot of feelings for the others too, Buck, Chimney, Hen, Eddie, and Maddie. They all make me feel warm and fuzzy, and I am interested in seeing how they manage without Bobby.
Anyway.... thanks for letting me rant and reminisce.

Tommy was enjoying sitting out in the sun with Evan's hand caught between both of his when his phone rang. He still couldn't believe that he'd just agreed to be Evan's date to his sister's wedding. 
Reluctantly, he removed his hand from on top of Evan's to pull his phone from his pocket. He didn't recognize the phone number, but in his line of work he couldn't ignore a call from an unknown number.
"I should probably take this," he said as he accepted the call. "Hello?"
"Hi Tommy, it's Bobby Nash."
"Captain Nash, hi," Tommy said, meeting Evan's wide eyes across the table. Evan gave his hand a little squeeze. "What can I do for you, Sir?"
"Athena and I would like you to come to dinner at our house," Bobby said. "We barely got to talk after the rescue and we would like to thank you properly."
"I was just doing my job," Tommy deflected, not that he wasn't grateful for the invitation.
"We both know that you weren't sanctioned to come get us. You put your career on the line to come save us and I cannot say how grateful we are that you did. The least we can do is make you a home cooked meal."
"I do miss your cooking," Tommy admitted. 
"I don't know if you're seeing anyone, but feel free to bring them along, too," Bobby offered. 
Tommy turned his hand over so he could squeeze Evan's. "I have started seeing someone who I think I'd like to bring." 
Across the table, Evan pointed at his chest and mouthed, 'Me?' Tommy just nodded. 
"We look forward to meeting them," Bobby said. "How's Wednesday night?" 
"Wednesday works for me," Tommy agreed. 
"I'll text you the address. I look forward to catching up," Bobby said.
"I'll see you then," Tommy said. He met Evan's eyes. "Want to go to dinner at Captain Nash's with me on Wednesday as my date?"
"You want me to be your date for dinner with Bobby and Athena?" 
"Only if you're comfortable with it," Tommy said. 
"Well, he'd find out about us at the wedding anyway," Evan said. "I like the idea of him knowing about us before then. He is kinda like my work dad."
"That's not really a thing," Tommy said, laughing. "I can't believe how much of a family the 118 became after I left."
"Hey, if you hadn't left when you did, I could have ended up at some other station." Evan shuddered dramatically. 
Tommy blinked. "I hadn't done that math. You were my replacement."
"You left some pretty big shoes to fill," Evan said. 
"How old are you?" Tommy hesitantly asked.
"I'm thirty-four," Evan said. 
"Ten years, that's not so bad," Tommy mused aloud.
"If it makes you feel any better, you wouldn't be the first person I've dated who is older than me. Abby was like twenty years older than me when we dated," Evan admitted.
"You have some kind of May/December fetish I should be aware of?" Tommy teased.
"N-No," Evan spluttered. "This would only be the second time I dated someone that much older than me. Not that you're old."
"I'm kidding, Evan," Tommy said. He wondered why Evan seemed to melt a bit every time he said his name. He'd need to remember to ask him about that sometime.
"Besides, there is something to being with someone more mature, with more life experience," Evan said. 
"Especially for someone who only recently discovered they were into men?" Tommy asked, knowingly. 
"Yeah," Evan said, blushing. 
"So, what kind of wine should I bring to this dinner?" Tommy asked, looking to get back onto safer ground. 
"Red wine for Athena and something non-alcoholic for Bobby," Evan said. 
"He's sober?" Tommy asked. "That certainly explains some things."
"Not my story to tell, but yeah," Evan confirmed. 
"Do you have a wine preference?" Tommy asked. "I'm not all that picky," Evan said. "Depends on my mood."
"Good to know," Tommy said. He took another sip of his terrible coffee and grimaced. "First, I'm going to get some real coffee and then head to the liquor store. Care to join me?"
"Y-you want me to come with you?" Evan asked, clearly surprised.
"Unless you have plans?"
"No, my day is wide open," Evan said, enthusiastically.
"Great, let's go," Tommy said. 
~~*~~
On Wednesday night, Tommy picked Evan up before heading to the Grant-Nash home. He and Evan had a mild debate about who should drive since Evan had been to the house many times before, but Tommy wanted to woo Evan. Even if just a little.
Evan was fidgeting beside him as Tommy rang the doorbell.
"Second thoughts?" he asked, resting a hand on Evan's back.
Evan steeled himself and grinned at Tommy. "Not a one."
The door swung open to reveal both Bobby and Athena. Tommy registered their surprise at seeing Evan with him. 
"Buck, what are you doing here?" Bobby asked.
"I-I'm Tommy's plus one," he stuttered. 
Athena recovered first and stepped around Bobby to loop her arm through Tommy's and pull him inside. "That is wonderful news. I can't wait to hear all about how you two got together."
As they walked down a short flight of stairs, Tommy saw Bobby pull Evan into a hug and say so softly that Tommy almost couldn't hear it, "I'm happy for you."
"This is for you," Tommy said, presenting the wine to Athena. "Thank you for having us over."
"It is our pleasure," she said. "Especially if we are getting the good gossip before everyone else." She winked at him. 
"I'm afraid Eddie's got you beat, in that case," Evan said as he and Bobby joined them. "He interrupted our first date."
"He does know how to keep a secret," Bobby said. "We didn't even know about Christopher for the first few weeks he was with us."
"He seems like a really great kid," Tommy said. 
"You've met him?" Bobby asked in surprise. "I thought you were dating Buck."
"I am, but Eddie and I have become pretty good friends since the rescue, too," Tommy said. "I've hung out at his place to watch some fights."
"Tommy flew the two of them to Vegas to see some fight a couple of weeks ago," Buck added. 
"You sure you're not dating both of them?" Athena teased.
"Oh, I'm sure; Eddie turned me down when I asked for a date, but said he wanted to be friends."
"Wait, you asked Eddie on a date?" Evan asked in surprise.
"I'm going to finish getting dinner on the table. Is that for tonight?" Bobby asked, gesturing to the bottle of sparkling grape juice in Evan's hand. He held it out for Bobby without looking away from Tommy.
"I'll go pour the wine," Athena said. "We're going to need it."
"Did you kiss him, too?" Evan demanded in a whisper, pulling Tommy to the far side of the room.
"No, it was nothing like that," Tommy insisted. "On the way back from Vegas I asked if I could take him on a proper date and Eddie said that he was flattered, but he had a girlfriend. I was surprised because it was the first time he'd mentioned her. Apparently she'd been babysitting Christopher while we were at the fight."
"So, am I like some kind of consolation prize?" Evan asked, his voice trembling.
"No, never," Tommy grasped Evan's face between both his hands. "I didn't know you were an option until I went to your loft that night. And when you said you'd been trying to get my attention all week, I realized I didn't want to miss my chance with you."
He kissed Evan then, a soft chaste kiss since they were at someone else's home, but one filled with promise.
Evan looked dazed when he released him, just like after their first kiss. Tommy could get used to putting that look on Evan's face.
"Now let's go eat, I'm starving," Tommy said, grabbing Evan's hand and pulling him towards the kitchen. "It smells amazing in here."
"You guys all good?" Athena asked, an eyebrow raised. 
"Yeah, we're good," Evan said, that dopey grin still on his face. 
"Coming through," Bobby said, setting a large pan of lasagna on the trivets on the table. 
Tommy inhaled deeply and sighed. "Man, I've missed your cooking."
"I'll have to make you my version sometime," Evan said as they sat. "Bobby's been teaching me how to cook and I think I've got this one down. Eddie and Christopher like it, at least."
"You've got the chili down, too," Bobby said, "now that you know the secret ingredient."
"He told you his secret chili ingredient?" Athena asked, surprised. "I don't even know that."
Evan puffed out his chest. "Yeah, I pestered it out of him."
Bobby served up the lasagna, the salad and garlic bread were passed around, and they took a few minutes to enjoy their food. 
"Bobby, you have only become a better chef," Tommy said. "When you retire you should definitely open a restaurant."
Bobby laughed. "Thank you for the compliment but that is a stress I do not want in my retirement. I much prefer cooking for family and friends."
"The 118 really has become a family, hasn't it?" Tommy asked, somewhat wistfully. "I could see it heading that way when I left, but leaving was still the right move for me."
"You seem happy at Harbor," Bobby said. "I've heard nothing but good things from your captain."
"You checkin' up on me?" Tommy teased.
"Maybe from time to time," Bobby admitted. "You seem much freer since your time with us."
Tommy glanced over at Evan. "Yeah, when I started at the 217 I did it as an out gay man. Took a page from Wilson's book and made it clear that this is who I am."
"I heard a lot of stories about Captain Gerard when I started and I know what it was like under him. I understand why you didn't feel comfortable sharing that part of yourself. I'm glad you found somewhere that you can be you." 
"Yeah, Gerard was the worst kind of old school misogynist. I saw what Han and Wilson went through when they started and out of self preservation didn't want to have him treat me that way, too. It was cowardly, but it was also survival."
Evan reached over to squeeze his thigh under the table. 
"I am a bit surprised you didn't tell us about yourself, Buck," Athena said. "You seem to share so much of yourself with everyone that this caught us a bit by surprise."
"I, um, didn't actually know this about myself until recently," Evan said, meeting Tommy's eyes. "Not until Tommy kissed me."
Tommy wondered about the look that Bobby and Athena shared and wondered if it had something to do with Evan and Eddie's close friendship. 
"Well, I'm -"
"We're," Athena cut in. 
"We're very happy for you both. I'm guessing you haven't told the rest of the team, aside from Eddie?"
"That's correct," Evan said. "Well, Maddie knows. Pretty sure she hasn't told Chimney since he isn't bouncing off the walls trying to keep a secret."
"But they'll know soon, as I'll be Evan's date for his sister's wedding," Tommy finished.
"Now that's one way to come out," Athena said. "You sure you want to do that with your parents there?"
"I'm done trying to get their approval. We're never going to be close. If they can't accept that I'm dating a man now, that's on them."
Tommy could sense that there was a lot of bad blood there, but now was not the time to ask. He wondered if this had anything to do with why everyone called him Buck instead of by his name and wondered if he should be doing that too. But Evan hadn't asked him not to call him Evan; in fact, he seemed to like it. Tommy made a note to ask about that later.
"That's very mature of you," Athena said.
"What can I say, the therapy actually helped."
The rest of dinner progressed easily. Athena told them about Bobby's heroics after the ship capsized and his acrobatics to get Norman safely lowered to the new floor of the ship. 
Tommy told them about some of his more interesting rescues, although saving Bobby and Athena would be at the top of his list for a long time when telling stories to other people. 
When it was time to go, Bobby packaged up the leftover lasagna for Tommy to take home with him. Evan pouted about Tommy getting all of the leftovers and Bobby promised to make it at the station soon.
On the drive back to Evan's loft, Tommy asked, "Would you prefer if I call you Buck?" Evan turned to look at him. "It's just, I know that's what everyone else calls you."
"I-I kinda like that you don't call me what everyone else does," Evan admitted. "I always felt like such a disappointment as Evan, so when there were two other Evans in my class at the fire academy I started having people call me Buck. Buck wasn't a screw up. Buck was a firefighter who could get things done. Someone who mattered."
"You matter regardless of what you're called," Tommy interrupted. 
Evan reached out to clasp Tommy's hand on the gearshift. "I know that. And when you call me Evan, I don't feel like a disappointment. I guess you could say that you're a first step to reclaiming that name."
"So should I expect everyone else to start calling you Evan now, too?" Tommy asked.
"Unlikely," Evan said, laughing. "You've seen how no one calls Chimney 'Howie' anymore. Except for Maddie, sometimes."
"If at any point you change your mind, I will call you by whatever name you want," Tommy assured him. 
"Thank you, that means a lot," Evan answered. 
As they approached Evan's apartment building, he asked, "Do you want to come up for a nightcap?"
Tommy glanced over to see the hopeful expression on Evan's face and even though he knew he shouldn't, he found himself saying, "I'd love to."

Hi! I love your sv peak assignment quiz (I got qian cao) 😁
I'm really curious about what some of the most common answers to the questions were though!!! Is there any way of seeing the responses? Would be willing to share? I've gotta know- was there a six balls sweep?????
Awww thank you <3333
Unfortunately though, the website doesn't let me see what the most common answers are :( However I can infer through that stats I can see and basically what fandom favorites are from popular tags on tumblr- what were most likely the common choices!
This is the stats on which peaks were chosen the most.
Tumblr media
And as you can see Qian Cao, Hao Chi, Qiong Ding, and An Ding Peaks are currently the top four popular peaks! (also insane that 1k people took this quiz LMAO).
The reason why these peaks are the highest are likely because they have the most "passive" or "morally good" answers when it comes to the situation questions.
But, lets not get carried away! We are here for Six Balls!!
Q: "Which obscure SVSSS side character do you like the most?"
You get 6 possible choices for an answer:
A(1): "Antelope Demoness (A young demoness who looks after SQQ when he is kidnapped by Tianlang-jun)"
It is unlikely a lot of people picked this because she has no name (thus no real tag for her on tumblr or on any site) and I doubt many people remembered her. (Though picking her did give you a point towards Qiong Ding- the 3rd most popular result)
A(2): "Six Balls (The young demon who gives SQQ Liu Mingyan's sword tassel)"
Six Balls!! While the fandom behind Six Balls is small, he is definitely considered a fan favorite by the more dedicated SVSSS fans! (also if you picked this one you got one point towards An Ding, An Ding being top 4 in the popular results).
A(3): "LBH's Mother (The old washer woman who takes care of a young LBH)"
Now LBH's mother despite being technically nameless would be a relatively popular choice because of how often she shows up in fanfiction, fanart of younger binghe, and popular fanon ideas in the fandom <3 (Also her choice gave you a point towards Hao Chi which is the SECOND highest result!)
A(4): Yang Yixuan (The young man who helps SQQ, LQG, and MQF during the Jin Lan City arc)
Another fan favorite and he shows up for longer then a paragraph in the books! Yang Yixuan also has a pretty dedicated fan base, with lots of fanfiction either directly dedicated to him (via ships or little character studies) or involving him in some way (I.e. background/support character)! So I can imagine a lot of people choosing this option! (Also choosing him gives you a point towards Qian Cao Peak- which is the highest ranked result!)
A(5): The Unnamed Ku Xing Peak Lord (He is mentioned to have a harsh temper!) 
I dont really see a lot of people picking this guy, after all he is both nameless and barely shows up in canon- not only that he seems to be quite harsh! (Also if you chose him your points would go into both Qing Jing and Suan Ming- both relatively low on the popular results)
A(6): Ji Jue (A disciple during LQG's generation who fights SQQ outside of a brothel)
Another character I dont really see people picking, despite the fact he has a name, he doesn't seem that cool... plus picking a fight with a fan favorite like Shen Qingqiu..?? Yikes! (And yet again picking this option would not get you into a super popular peak based on results).
So basically to boil this all down, I think most people either picked Luo Binghe's Adopted Mother, Six Balls, or Yang Yixuan!
Also we could probably just settle this by running a poll.. oops!

Prowling the inbox like a half tame thing, just confessing that I saw your art tutorials and was like "Neat!" and then saw the potato in the name and that clinched it for me <3 /origin story sharing for free!
Anyway! I'm asking you to this dance of an ask game, because I enjoy the stories in the tags you write and then I was like, there is a function built in for being more candid~ Please tell me more lady-potato-ninja lore, as they say. ^^ Referring to this post here: >> https://www.tumblr.com/shreedle/762344461629112320?source=share <<
🧠🌂👀🌹 Okay bye! See you on the dashboard!
Ah 🙈🙈🙈 I'm so glad you liked my tutorials! I am actually in the mist of making a new one on how to better your artistic workflow! I'm not done yet- still trying to make it make sense but I hope it might help you in some way once it's out😉!
🧠- What fictional character do you relate to the most?
I’m gonna be extra because you said you liked my rambling and go for more than one character. I’ve mostly been into podcast fandoms thus far and it feels like those characters were really easy to relate to.
Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role: I learned so much about myself throught this character. He’s the embodiment of change and self-love and just living life the way you want it. I was very envious of the joyful way he lived his life and it stayed with me long after I stopped watching Critical Role and I feel like now I got to this point where I love myself and the multitude ways in which I change everyday.
Martin Blackwood from the Magnus Archive: I think we’re awfully similar; in a made from the same cloth kind of way. He’s a very attentive character who tries his best to provide help, care and support to the people around him and it’s something I pride myself to do as well, one of my friends said I was an approachable person and I wear this quality as a badge of honor. I strive to be a kind-hearted person.
At a time, I was also really relating to his loneliness which I sometimes still am. Hearing about how he felt made me realise that I felt the same about me. And it actually made me take care of myself more because I couldn’t let such a deep sadness continue on in me! But don’t fret, now I’m a much happier person and I feel like it’s in part because of him, weirdly enough.  
Jang Hee-Soo from the kdrama Moving: This kdrama is so good and it really struck a chord with me for multiple reasons but mostly because I had never seen a media better portray the relationship between a parent and their child.
With her dad, Jang Hee-Soo sees what he does for her and his sacrifices and she understands him, she takes the time to know her dad as a person more than just a parental figure and she tries to give back and sacrifice what she can to help him. I feel like it’s the same way I love and cherish my parents. I see myself in the careful way she takes care of him while supporting his dreams and cheering him on. (It honestly made me cry and that’s why I haven’t finished this series yet I KEEP CRYING!)
She also has this whole motif about rage that really speaks to me. A part of me is like a fire that is inextinguishable and she’s the same.
Special mention to Hong Cha-young from Vincenzo because my gf said I was like her > The style, the goofiness and the evil not evilness🙈
🌂- You have to choose three fiction characters to help you survive in the apocalypse, who are you picking?
Senshi from delicious in dungeon: I need someone who knows enough about fauna and flora to know which plants/animal parts are good to eat in the wild and which ones are poisonous! I know how to cook and bake well enough but not enough to utilize everything in the best way and how to keep food well stocked. I feel like we would get along well plus he would remind me to actually eat and drink which is fairly important.
Aragorn from LOTR: Having a ranger in the team is essential because I lack most of what he has to offer and while Senshi might cover a similar ground, I feel like Aragorn would be helpful in many other ways such as, finding/creating shelter and keeping us from getting lost. He would be longing for his wife; I would be longing for my wife; we would be partners in long lost love stories.
Doctor Mccoy from Star Trek: I know how to give first aid + CPR, take care of burn wounds and other small wounds but in this situation, I feel like a real doctor should be a part of the team. Plus, Bones is used to critical situations with the amount of bathshit crazy things happening on the enterprise and he quickly adapts to changes. He also has great bedside manners so if I end up dying well at least my last moments will be nice lol. I almost forgot his massive balls of steel – this man is unshakable!
I think we would make the dream team: I know how to fish, mend/make (bad) clothes, bake and cook, ect. And three out of four of us know how to fight: I am a green belt in karate + I can throw handheld axes; Senshi has his axe + his shield/cauldron and Aragorn got his sword skills. I mean we’re pretty much covered in terms of leadership, nutrition, health, living quarters, troc strategies and defense… We could survive this!
👀 -Most tame ship you enjoy
Daisuga? Maybe? It’s very soft, they’re basically already married at this point lol. It’s a sweet, no conflict ship!
🌹 - What's a small fanbase you're a part of?
Gekkan Shojo Nozai kun: I watch this every summer and I can’t wait to see more if there’ll ever be more…. It’s just such a charming and chaotic show! The characters all have hilarious gimmicks that make them so endearing and you just want to see them succeed. It’s honestly really worth the watch if you haven’t seen it already!
Professor Layton: I think about replaying the games every other week < I could ‘cause I still have my DS and multiple games but I want to be able to cast it on the TV so I can play with my gf or watch her play!

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you @maesterchill @danpuff-ao3 and @nv-md for the tag! <333
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
314
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
1,295,054
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter is the big one. I've also written some Captive Prince, Locked Tomb, and one Call Me By Your Name fic
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Right Hand Red; Hung Like a Horntail; Slip Into My Lover's Hands; Weeds or Wildflowers (written with the very talented @unmistakablyoatmeal); and check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try. I'm seriously behind. The truth is, I'll never get around to replying to them all. I will someday die with a thousand unanswered comments. But I do try. And I read each and every one and they touch my heart. I'm so very grateful for all the wonderful comments I've received and continue to receive!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oof. I hardly ever end things badly. But there was one wee ficlet; lemme go hunt it down. (*plays elevator music*) Ah, here it is: Not-Forever Is Still Forever. It's not MCD or anything. Draco just leaves for Argentina for two years. *shrug emoji* But I like to think I've gotten pretty good at baking some realistic angst into the middle of things, if not writing angty endings. I prefer it that way.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of them except for Burning the Ground, which is an open ending. I'll be honest, I don't like the word fluff. I'm never trying to write fluff, which, to me, denotes a level of uncomplicated sweetness. Maybe others define it differently. But I don't think happy endings are necessarily fluffy. I want my happy endings to put tears in your eyes, to move you. I want to evoke different things with different sorts of happiness for different phases of life. RHR's ending is about a feeling of freedom mostly, of getting to face the next part of their lives without dread. Take You Home has a similar vibe but with them a bit older; they've experienced the painful and mundane disappointments you have to weather in this life that have nothing to do with fighting a dark wizard and everything to do with existential questions about who we are, how we go on, what do you do when it doesn't work out, when you've changed and you don't know who you are anymore. I loved ending it with all their friends, at a march for trans rights. Heart Like Neon has an ending that makes *me* the most happy. I modeled it after an episode of Grey's Anatomy where you find out at the end of the ep that two important characters got married. The whole ep, none of their friends know, then at the end they play 'Bones' by Josh Record, and you go back in time by a few weeks and you see it. When I wrote the end of HLN, I had that song playing in my head from the end of the party at the Weasley's, to jumping three months earlier, to Harry and Draco in Paris. That's a pretty goddamned happy ending. It makes me cry. <3 (Also the art that @bluebutter-art made for it makes me bawl happy tears!!!)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I was going to say hardly ever but then I *just* got some last week! LOL. Still, I'm very lucky that it's not even once in a blue moon. That stuff is so arbitrary too. I'm going to quote my good friend @elrhiarhodan: People... they're fuckin nuts. :D
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
LOL yes. A lot of different kinds? I want to try a little of everything as a writer.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No. I mean, I probably have a couple times over the course of my literal decades in some fandom or other, but they're not worth noting.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, several, and into multiple languages. I think that's so cool!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Definitely! In HP I've written with sdk, @the-starryknight and @nv-md, plus I once did a wild round robin with a big group of people. I'm not good at round robins, I've realized. Too much of a control freak.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Drarry, totally. But right up there is Harry/Teddy and Harry/Teddy/Draco. Then Ginny/Pansy, Charlie/Teddy, James Sirius/Albus Severus (with Teddy too sometimes). In CaPri, I love Damen/Laurent, but @linecrosser had totally made me ship when Damen lends Laurent out to Nikandros for a threesome and also Auguste/Laurent. I also hardcore ship my own original characters from my novel. <3
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't do WiPs really.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Oof, this is tough. Pacing? Interpersonal relationships? Smut, for sure. LOL. I think I do well writing things that are transgressive or maybe even filthy with a lot of tenderness and compassion and deep, deep love mixed in. And I think I'm getting really good at making people cry when I want them to. Readers, that is. :D
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Convoluted plots. Can't do them. I wish I could. I can't write a mystery to save my life. I'm also pretty bad at heavy angst. I also wish I could write something nonlinear, but my brain just doesn't work that way.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
It's interesting that this is a question because it's meaningful to me not because of fic but because of my novel. I have a Spanish-speaking character, fluent in English, but sometimes he says things in Spanish. I'm very VERY lucky that @capiturecs read my novel both as a sensitivity reader for Latinx/Latine/Latino aspects but also to correct my Spanish and make it realistic and conversational! I'll be forever grateful! I also now really REALLY want to learn Spanish! <3
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Sorry, I don't share this publicly.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Oh this is mean. This is cruel. I can't possibly answer this! RHR has got to be in there. Heart Like Neon. Blood and Fire. Phoenix in the Fire. Take You Home. Wonderful Electric (cover me in you). A Pain of Our Choosing. My Name in Your Mouth. Bloom. collarbones like a bow, skin an arrow to the heart. I'll stop there!
Okay, this was fun! I'll tag @corvuscrowned @ruinsplume @floydig @sweet-s0rr0w @lettersbyelise @magpiefngrl @skeptiquewrites and Elr! <3

So for the TMNT shipping thing…
Leosagi maybe? It doesn’t matter which version though.
I'm not gonna include 1987 and 2012 since I'm pretty sure in those versions Usagi is an adult. I'm unsure whether I should put Yuichi since most people ship him with Leo but you know what why not.
2003 Leosagi:
I actually really enjoy their dynamic and how they act towards each other. It's so sweet and wholesome.
I also love their ship name, katana duo (I think-)
Honestly to me they work as both bros and gays.
I do like the episode where Leo was yeeted into Usagi's dimension.
And oh my god them in the big brawl episodes>>>>>>>>>>>>
TMNT WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THEM GAY ALREADY??
Please just give us normal Leo love interests...
Wish we got more of them though
Pretty much I'll give this ship a solid 10/10. Very nice.
Rise Leoichi/Leosagi:
This was my actual introduction to the Leosagi ship. Also ironically Rise was what got me back into the fandom last year xd
I really wanna watch Samurai Rabbit because of Yuchi. He's such a dumbass.
Dumbass x dumbass who have the ability to be smart but don't use it
When Worlds Collide fanfic... (Okay i haven't actually red it but from the animatics and fanart GOD DAMN IT)
Blue boys
They definetelly would talk about their ancestors 24/7.
Like 2003, I'm cool with them being platonic friends who maybe as a joke act gay cause they find it funny.
My BIGGEST gripe however, with this ship is how much I hate the reused stereotype and how they meet. I stopped liking and ended up hating Yuichi being a bartender at Run of the Mill. It just became overrated. And sometimes Yuichi has almost little to no personality and is reduced to the love interest the main character must have. Also I feel like people should tag Rise Leo x Yuichi Usagi as Leochi because Miyamoto Usagi and Yuichi Usagi are two different characters. Plus I don't like how some fans get pissed off all because you don't ship them (ngl I have a huge fear people will attack me cause I ship Leo with a girl HOLLY SHI- Honestly that also would be funny at the same time xp)
I kind of doubt they will use Yuichi as a crossover with TMNT but we can always rely on fannon.
A good enough ship, 7/10. Mainly because I want more original ideas for Yuichi and that people stop copying each other's stories.

Writer Tag
thanks for the tag @venus-haze and @sehtoast 🖤 technically i have two AO3 accounts (my og one with all my supernatural fics) but i'm just gonna use my homelander/the boys one for this.
How many works do you have on AO3? 31
What's your total AO3 word count? 225k
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Bit By Bit We Fall In Love
First Time's the Charm
Say It
Eat Your Ego, Honey
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? yes! although i didn't used to for some reason. lately my feeling is that they took the time to comment, so i always try to take the time to show appreciation for that.
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? definitely A Troublesome Transition. i don't really do angst or character death all that often, but this one was cathartic to write.
What’s the fic you've written with the happiest ending? lol pretty much all of my fics have pretty happy endings. maybe Don't Fret Precious ( I'm Here ) ? it's a darker fic that definitely had the potential to be very angsty, but the reveal at the end and the devotion that these two lunatics have to one another is pretty sweet... maybe? LOL
Do you write crossovers? nah
Have you ever received hate on a fic? i got one "wtf is this" type comment on a fic on tumblr once, but i was pretty quick to block the person. i think mostly people are just surprised Homelander has the fandom he does
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes. very much so. pretty much any kind. i feel like i'm fairly well known for schmoopy sentimental sex and dirty talk though
Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i know of!
Have you ever had a fic translated? yes! Hide and Seek was translated into spanish.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? sort of! All That Glitters was a fic collab with @anon-nee, for which they were absolutely instrumental in the worldbuilding and keeping me motivated to keep writing. huge shoutouts to @jethrowest and @irenadel and everyone who consistently lets me blow up their dm's with my wips and helps me when i'm struggling to put words on the page. 🖤
What's your all-time favorite ship? homelander x all these incredibly sexy oc's my friends make
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? Puppet Master. i had really big plans for this one, but unfortunately it got lost in the shuffle and i've since repurposed the ideas i had for it.
What are your writing strengths? i think my strengths are characterization and keeping the world feeling grounded/true to the source material.
What are your writing weaknesses? i have a lot of insecurities about my fics being boring or not eventful enough. a lot of the times i focus so much on interpersonal relationships, i don't think there's really enough happening in the story. i'm also bad at bringing in ensemble casts. my fics definitely focus very heavily on just the two leads.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? i tend to avoid it unless it's very simple established pet names/phrases or something. i use italics and descriptors if they're not speaking in english. if the POV character isn't meant to understand, i'll just describe how the characters are speaking to one another in that language.
What was the first fandom you wrote for? yu yu hakusho on quizilla LOL i was a HUGE weeb. also wrote for inuyasha.
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to kimiko/annie..... they deserve each other......
What's your favorite fic you've written? probably Eat Your Ego, Honey. it's my first multichapter fic, and i'm DETERMINED to finish it. i really love Layla, and i'm so touched by how everyone has responded to her. oc's can be a bit of a sore spot for me, but the reception to that fic really keeps me going and makes me so, so happy. plus i just think it's some of my best writing.
No pressure tags: @xieyaohuan @socially-awkward-skeleton @hom3landr @kosmochlor @irenadel @amostimprobabledream uhhh anyone who has an AO3 okay if you wanna fill this out just say i tagged you lol

.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
4 hours earlier, as the girls were still dancing. Ashanti had noticed you were leaving with someone.  She didn't know whether to be concerned or not, then Rhonda hugged up her arm. startling her, she didn't even know she was coming. "So question girl does, Liu Kang got a brother?" Ashanti rolled her eyes, telling her no. He never really talked about a family.
"I just saw Y/N leave with somebody, for some reason my gut is telling me to go after her... She was bit tipsy." Ashanti said in a worried tone.
"Seriously! Girl I bet she was looking for someone to have sex with. OH! We should see if our girl got anything!" Rhonda suggested getting the other girls, just to spy on your sexual life. They all followed together where you left out, they stepped outside and didn't see you, but heard sounds coming from the side of the building.
They all slightly peeked out on the side of the corner, not all the way to be detected. They saw you being thrown into a white truck limp. Rhonda wanted to jump in, but Jamika and Tonya held her back and covered her mouth.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jamika whispered.
"To try and rescue my girl clearly." Rhonda whispered back
"Bitch there is many of them and not enough of you... Plus we black, we don't approach things like this." Tonya whispered
"We should call the police?" Jamika suggested.
"That won't do anything, they about to pull off. Like you said we black, they ain't going to do two shits, it'll quickly fall short and lie about they couldn't find anything."  Ashanti informed them, she noticed on the back of white cart. In the corner the name said the the red dragon clan, she heard of that clan from Liu Kang.
"Although I know someone who will, let's call our magic friends." Ashanti told them.
~~~
Ashanti had made a call to Liu Kang, yes Liu Kang had a phone at her demand and request, she was trying to keep calm and explained to him what happened and told him the groups name and everything. He had created a portal in the alley they were all standing in, he walked out greeting the familiar faces and a new face. He came out with Bi-han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas with him by his side.
Ashanti ran up and hugged Liu Kang, happy he came. "I was worried, this is something a fire god would find something not worth his time or serious that us lower people can handle." Ashanti chuckled nervously.
He cupped her face, "Not at all my goddess, you are always worth my time. Also my job is to protect earthrealm, whether it is big or small." Liu Kang told her, making her blush.
"He told us that you seen the Red Dragon Clan?" Bi-han asked, not trying to be here longer than he has to.
"Y-Yes, it was on the name of the cart." Ashanti answered.
"Yeah and they drove off with our girl, we don't know where though." Rhonda said worried, Tomas saw the concern in her tone and face.
"Don't worry we already have our Lin Kuei men on the search and look out for her, they won't get far. We promise she'll be okay." Tomas comforted Rhonda, putting her hand on his shoulders. She nodded shyly.
"We will also be on the search with them, to gather more leads. On why the red dragon clan was out here." Kuai Liang interjected.
"Who are these so call Red Dragon Clan?" Jamika asked curiously.
"An enemy that has been a thorn to my side. The Lin Kuei and Red Dragon has been enemies for many years." Bi-han answered frustrated.
"They are a clan that seeks to dominate many territories such as Bi-han explained the Lin Kuei, the temple, and more. To become a powerhouse of the world, and it's hold on everyone." Liu Kang explained.
"Sounds complicated." Tonya said.
"Which way did they go? And what does she look like?" Bi-han ordered. All the girls pointed to the direction they headed. Rhonda showed him a picture on her phone of you, he nodded. gesturing his head to his brothers to get moving, they quickly left leaving the girls and Liu Kang. Ashanti watched with worry.
Liu Kang pulled her close squeezing her arm, "She will be alright my goddess, Bi-han and the lin kuei will make sure of it." He smiled at her than looked her up and down. She looked away from shyly, knowing what he was thinking. Although they both knew it wasn't the right moment for that. "Would you ladies like to come to the temple and wait for your friend there?" Liu Kang offered.
They all nodded, and Liu Kang created a portal in the alleyway back to his temple.

You were seriously trying to break this mans grip on your neck, but as you slowly was blacking out from loss of oxygen. You heard someone shout something, making you drop. You began coughing trying to regain oxygen back into your lungs, you looked up and notice some guy in like blue ninja gear staring at the man that was holding you.
"Well if it isn't the great grandmaster of the lin kuei Bi-han, to what I owe the pleasure?"
"Return the woman to me, and I will make your death swift Gojin." Bi-Han glared at Gojin, gojin picked you up by your hair. Your eyes watery, as your head is in pain from the grip.
"You mean this little thing." He pulled down his mask, and began licking your face. That got you pissed, and you put all your energy in your left hand punching his jaw. He dropped you gripping his jaw in pain.
"You niggas keep yo filthy tongue off my fucking face!" You shouted in anger, Gojin was about to charge at you, before intervening throwing an ice spear between them. Missing him on purpose, it made you jump and you made eye contact Bi-Han. He quickly looked at you.
"Come here." He ordered, you blushed not thinking twice. You don't know why that turned you on, it must of been that deep dominating voice he gave you. You stood back where he was as he creep towards your captor, Gojin growled at you both.
"Red Dragon!" Gojin called, but nothing happened. He looked around wondering why his men haven't come. "What's the matter Gojin, wondering where your little misfits are? Did you already forget who we are?" Bi-han smirked, slowly out of the shadows his brothers and the Lin Kuei revealing themselves surrounding them.
You unconsciously gripped the back of Bi-Han's shirt, from shock and surprised by the ninjas that just suddenly appeared. Gojin looked around him fear in his heart but his eyes burned hot with anger, looking at Bi-han. He charged after with his sword, Bi-han formed an ice blade blocking his attack.
freezing his feet in place, kicking him hard. making him bend back than normal, breaking his knees from the uncomfortable bend earning a scream from him. Before Bi-han slammed the ice blade through his forehead into the ground killing him instantly.
'damn' you said under your breath. It was scary and badass at the same time, you realized after finally relaxing from trying to escape and run. That you ended up passing out, the last thing you heard was someone asking if you were okay.
~~~
You were beginning to wake up, your eyes squinting from the brightness of a lot light hitting you. You looked around and noticed you were in a nice looking room. You tried sitting up, rubbing your eyes to adjust your vision better. It was very fancy and traditional, Chinese scriptures around the room and pillars. Someone was walking into the room, it was your friend Rhonda who noticed you awake and quickly went to call the other girls.
"Y/N!" They rushed in pouncing you all together, you were really happy to see the girls hugging each other. "OMG I WAS S-S W-WORRIED A-A-ABOUT...YOUUUU!" Rhonda started crying dramatially, sniffling you looked her with a smile rubbing her back. Then you started to tear up a bit.
You were scared and worried that you wouldn't see your friends or family again, the other three pulled back as you and Rhonda was hugging each other tight. "I know Rhonda, I'm okay now. Thanks to these weird ninjas."
"One of them in blue carried you here, after you fainted." Jamika told you
"Those were one of my champions and there clan."
All the girls turned there attention, seeing Liu Kang with Bi-han and Kuai Liang on each side of him. "Ashanti had informed me what had happened, you were taken by someone the lin kuei knew to well. I had them retrieve you and We brought you back to my temple."
"Bi-Han!" You got up and quickly gave him a hug thanking him. Everyone looked at you and him in shock, confused, and cute. Bi-han was completely caught off guard and didn't know what to say or how to react, because it was all new to him. Kuai Liang whispered in his ear, "You should accept her kindness brother and return it, as she thanking you." Kuai Liang smirked.
Bi-han just lightly patted your head, "I only came because of orders... but you are...welcome." the last part was hard for Bi-Han to say. You smirked, sneaking a kiss on his cheek. Before quickly scurrying out the room with the girls giggling, leaving Bi-han shocked and confused.
"Looks like you have a secret admirer brother." Tomas entered seeing the event from afar laughing with Kuai Liang and Liu Kang.
"Mind your business TOMAS!" Bi-han barked before excusing himself
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
You were glad that you didn't have any classes today, you needed some rest and break from everything that happened last night. Liu Kang was kind enough to have you and the girls relaxed at his place as a little vacation, till you felt more comfortable and better returning.
Ashanti was definitely taking this opportunity to spend time with her lover. You and the other girls were near this small bridge looking at the river with the colorful fishes. "So... Bi-han huh? I see you too are already at first name bases?" Rhonda jokes nudging you. You only smiled shaking your head, "I only knew it because that guy that was trying to kill me said his name. And I was just thanking him, he probably doesn't even know my name."
"Mhmm yeah right." all three of them said in unison. You ignored the group walking away, to take a stroll in the little garden Liu Kang had. "Hey I know we just be hassling you girl, but in all seriousness... You good sugarfoot?" Jamika asked, walking with you.
"I'm okay." was all you said.
"I don't mean physically girlie, like what happened to you any-"
"I'm just happy I'm safe now... I'm good really girl, it was scary at the moment. But I'm thankful Ashanti had her man assist with it... But right now I'm happy I'm not dead and can see you all again." You looked at her with a tired smile, Jamika understanding you don't want to talk about it any further. Everyone handles a scary situation they do differently, Jamika just gives you a hug.
"I'm happy you're still with us as well." Jamika smiled, you were about to say something else. Until you saw the other girls coming where you all were at with Ashanti. "Why ya'll running?" You questioned, as one of them were out of breath.
"I wanted to tell you, while I was with my boo. He told me they are having another Mortal Kombat event for earthrealm. He asked if I wanted to come and watch the ordeal alongside him and to see if you guys wanted to come?" Ashanti said excitedly, a bit disheveled, with a messy bun.
"that sounds cool, and I'm sure the others agreed. But... I don't know.."
"Johnny and his other champions will be there... That includes Bi-han." Rhonda smirked at you deviously, seeing how you perked up at his name.
"You think you slick bitch but you're not." You gave her the bombastic side-eye.
"You know you want to see that nigga again, we all can see you've grown a little crush on him." Rhonda retorted.
"Whatever fine, fuck it I'll go. When is it?" You asked Ashanti.
"It's in two weeks, so with that I'm putting in my notice right now to be off for three days for this event." Ashanti looked at Jamika, Tonya nodded the same looking at her.
Jamika rolled her eyes, "I can't with ya'll, you lucky I wanna go to and I'm bringing my man as well."
All of you bounced in excitement, then you realized that you haven't had your phone. You began panicking, because what if your parents were trying to contact you. "Do ya'll know where my phone is?"
~~~
You didn't even know your phone and purse was right next to the bed you woke up in, you quickly grabbed your phone unlocking it. You noticed 2 missed calls from your mother and one message sent from her. You opened your message, and of course she's cursing you out on why you ain't answering your phone.
You call her hoping she'd answer, "Hello Momma?" You tried to say quietly and sweetly.
"Why the hell you ain't pick up the first few calls!?" She yelled from the other side of the line.
"I'm sorry momma, a lot had happened last night and this morning."
"And what is the a LOT that happened for you to ignore me child?"
You didn't want to tell her you got kidnapped and almost became someone's sex slave. You did not want to give her a heart attack, she already worried about you a lot anyways as you were her youngest baby out your two siblings.  "I was uhh... I went out yesterday with a few friends and Rhonda... We got drunk and wasted, so like passed out and woke up with a huge migraine."
You thought that was good enough, because ya'll did go out, it was quite for a moment. "Mhmmm, you are college student little girl. I hope you don't just party only, you better be up there studying. All that damn money we paid for you to get into that good school, that little scholarship you got, barely covered shit."
"Momma relax I am, I'm fine. I'm a finish school and graduate, then you gonna be in the audience yelling wooo... that's my baby up there, myfavoritebabybecauseshetheonlyonethatactuallyfinishedschool." You said the last part quickly.
You and your mother started chuckling, "You aughta stop it, if you sisters heard you say that. I can't protect you as you brought that onto yourself."
"How is daddy doing? I know it broke his poor little heart when I had went off to college."
"Girl he'll be fine, his grown ass will suck it up. But we do miss you and hope everyone down there treating you well. They don't won't me coming down there."
You couldn't help but smile and laugh, at your mother's threat to beat someone's ass. Because you know she would, "Don't worry Momma, Rhonda already does that for me."
"That's why I like that child, tell my baby Rhonda we missed the crackhead."
"I'll let her know momma."
"On another note, find a man yet to bring me some grand-kids."
"Bye momma Love you, I'll visit you and daddy on break." Your mother sighed with a chuckle on the man and kids remark
"Love you too panda."
You hung up the phone, laying back down on the bed throwing your phone down to the side. You were still a bit tired, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
