Y/N Ref sheet + Something a little special...

Y/N's ref sheet for Chasing Stars is here! Nothing too crazy, but please do stick around for the third picture :3

Moon's Sheet Here Sun's Sheet Here

(they start off with a tie lol)

AND HERE IT IS

With some very special guests, I drew a couple renders for future scenes (or just cool poses) for the fic! Speaking of, chapter one is almost done :0 I just want a wait a bit before posting to iron out some later plot points... Don't want to start it without a solid plan in mind yk? Also holy shit that last drawing took me like 15 fucking hours omg

And thank you so much to the wonderful artists who inspired me to make this whole thing in the first place. Your art and stories are wonderful and I know you've inspired plenty of people like me <3

The sonas featured in this piece belong to @way2gosuperrstarr (Top left), @starriegalaxy (Bottom left), @hexcii (Top right), and @nebuladreamz (Bottom right).

An extra special thanks to Nebula, who was my biggest inspiration. You're so cool man :')

Stop making me a Mortarion appreciator he's suppose to be gross and icky and not have a decent backstory to only get fucked over by big E

See I'd like something with Perty a bit of self indulgent little thing. What if he had a capable little darling who was also very much into the arts and far more creative vs war exploits but she just was forgetful at times. It's not her fault she focused for 10 hours on her painting! It's a gift for her Perty! Oh sorry just got a little distracted in helping paint some pauldrons... oh what I have something on my face oh that's when I was doing some charcoal art earlier. It's not that she's forgetful she's just all over the place (yes an ADHD coded darling by an ADHD coded asker)

[ 𝕸𝖔𝖔𝖉𝖞𝕸𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖞'𝖘 𝕸𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙 | ����𝖔3 ]

Author's Note: I see our brains cross talked, because whenever I write Perty, in my mind his beloved is always an artist. It's how I first imagined it when I first started getting into the Iron Warriors lore.

Also tehe, if I have to get stunk up by the Mortarion simps, so do you.

Summary: Perturabo had gifted you with the honor of painting the murals for one of his new structures, and you get distracted in your own work.

Relationship: Perturabo/Fem!Reader

Warnings: Perturabo's shitass attitude, But other than that nothing

Word Count: 955

It's a bit of an awkward angle, but you make it work as you reach forward to put a little bit more yellow onto the massive mural. It's covering a good portion of the wall at this point, though your planned outline goes far beyond what you've currently begun painted. You would've been more than eager to make it bigger, though the limitations of this particular section of wall was what ended up stopping you.

You rub your cheek briefly against your wrist, and feel the cracking of dried paint on your skin. You don't know when it got there, but you'll wash it off when you're done for the day.

You want this to be absolutely perfect- Not a single failed brushstroke or miscolored paint. Perturabo gifted you this massive blank slate, these canvases, and you want to make sure they are a gift to him in return. So as long as you have the inspiration, you're going to continue. Other than a yawn or two you don't feel tired in the slightest, so you more than think you can continue for the time being.

Washing your brush you take a new color and mix it up, before dipping your brush in. All of these colors were gifts as well; At times you begin to feel almost suffocated in the things given to you from Perturabo. Perhaps he just enjoys seeing something other than war created. Or just keeping you entertained and thus distracted.

You continue painting before you hear footsteps- loud ones- and for a moment you think it's a few stray Iron Warriors whose ceramite boots are clanking particularly loud on the stone floor. The steps continue closer however, until you finally turn at the sound of your name.

It's said with a more than exasperated tone, and you turn to see Perturabo.

"Here you are. I was beginning to wonder if you'd wandered off again."

As a foreigner to Lochos there has unfortunately been a few times where you have wandered a bit too far for his liking, even if it was in the safety of the city's innermost walls. Or even just his fortress itself. Perturabo would never let you out farther; He's always been vocal of his distrust of the Olympians. They might have submitted to him when he ousted Dammekos, but you don't think he will ever grow to trust them.

He doesn't trust his own legion, and only now has he recently even began to trust you. Placing any sort of confidence in you being out without protection is an impossibility for him. While to a degree you might not blame him- there is no shortage of people that would be quite eager to have you in a cage or worse- the feeling of suffocation is at times frustrating.

No longer wandering off into your own thoughts for a moment, you perk upward slightly and nod at him.

"Oh, I'll be done in a minute. I just wanted to finish this section before I went and ate."

Perturabo gives you a confused expression, mixed with his usual irritation. His brow is always furrowed, wrinkled along with the edges of his nose. You sometimes wonder how much younger he'd look if he'd just soften a bit.

"Eat?" He sighs and his head tilts slightly to one side. "It's the dead of night."

You turn around, and look out through the massive glass window panes and see nothing but lights from buildings, and the starry night sky.

You open your mouth and close it for a moment- as if doing a pantomime of a fish.

"Ohhh... I was wondering why it seemed a little darker in here. I saw serfs and assumed they'd snuffed the candles."

Perturabo sighs again, and comes closer to the scaffolding you're using to reach higher parts of the wall. It normally would put you at quite a height advantage over a normal human, but for Perturabo, it puts you at right about head height.

He looks at you with that same steely, frozen gaze as always.

"Come down."

Putting the lid on the container of paint, you put it to the side. You go to take the small ladder down back onto solid ground, but it seems he finds it faster to simply lift you by the ribcage, and plop you onto the ground with little fanfare. You let out a small noise of surprise as even his most gentle grip removes some of the air from your lungs.

It's odd, how sometimes you seem to forget his size, and how he can so easily manhandle you like a toy. He seems conscious of it and avoids doing so, but those instances where he does tend to stick out.

He takes a glance towards the mural you'd currently been working on, as it stands about halfway done. It's the first of many you've planned out; The walls of the temple are covered in charcoal outlines for different ones, but this remains the first one you've begun to bring to life.

He stares at it for a bit longer than you think and the silence almost begins to become a bit uneasy. You can't tell what he's thinking in the slightest, nor do you have a chance to even try before he's done.

Perturabo kneels to face you, and with one thumb roughly rubs your cheekbone. You grumble and wince, paint crumbs falling onto your clothes. Part of you wants to push him away, but you know if you do, he'll never do it again. Once he's done, or perhaps given up on removing the pigment from your skin, the same hand grasps you jaw.

"I will have the serfs make you something to eat."

There's been plenty of slop shit books containing sex before now and there will be plenty of slop shit books containing sex in the future. I don't see what's wrong with it.

[x-neurodivergent-reader]

💗 Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love! 💗

Oooh, thank you!

I'm going to include some headcanon lists here as well, since I don't really have five fics that I still love tbh - but here we go!

(I ended up going on some little tangents about why I like each fic, so it's all under the cut.)

Sealing the Void (Dhawan!Master x Autistic!Reader)

It's been a while since I've reread it (or any of my fics, for that matter), so I'm not sure how the writing holds up - but I've always seen this one as my best fic. Not only did it come from an emotional place for me, but the dynamic between a reader who loves cats, and the Master not caring for them, but being fond enough of the reader to put that aside, was fun to write! I'd still like to finish the sequel to this someday.

2. Adoration Equation (Loki x Autistic!Reader w/ Dyscalculia)

My final Loki fic, and a cute one to end on, if I do say so myself! It was neat to write Loki and the reader going on a mission together, and to show them already being in a fairly new relationship, where they still have some things to learn. Being a oneshot where the two discuss the reader's disability in one conversation, I feel like this fic uses a similar-ish concept to Learning From You, but does it a lot better.

3. Headcanons: Loki with an S/O who stims

Last I checked, this was my most popular piece of writing on this blog (until a certain Doctor Who one I'm also going to list at the end), and I can see why! I liked thinking about ways Loki would interact with a partner who stims in different ways (especially thinking about things specific to him, such as his Jotun form). It's just a nice, feel-good set of headcanons for anyone who stims, and likes the dark haired alien prince!

4. Headcanons: Dhawan!Master x Autistic!Reader with a special interest in urban exploration

This one combines two of my loves - The Master and urban exploration - to some fun results! I enjoyed writing my ideas for how the Master could be playful or annoying while visiting abandoned places with the reader, and how he would have a penchant for those with darker histories. I had a look through both these, and my similar headcanons for the 13th Doctor, and I have to say that the Master would be more fun to explore with!

5. Headcanons: 13th Doctor comforting a neurodivergent S/O

Since my other favourites only involved either Loki or the Master, I had a look to see if there were any 13th Doctor imagines I particularly like - and this one was quite sweet to read through! Considering her canon admittance to not being good at comforting people, I think the idea of the reader outright telling her how to help them, and her working with that, was the best approach. It was interesting to think of how her ability to help might change when given a specific idea of how to do it.

And now for an honourable mention, because why not?

6. Headcanons: 10th Doctor x Autistic!Reader established relationship

Despite the fact that this isn't one I've seen as being particularly special, it's the piece of writing on my blog with the most notes. It might only be because it involves the 10th Doctor. Or it might be because it genuinely is pretty cute! After reading through it again, I think it does deserve to be on this list.

My writing skills are rusty as hell right now, so I think these are all worth reading, until I start improving again.

Thanks again for sending this to me!

[vasito-de-leche]

reading the "night terrors" fic got me all ooey gooey, my heart is melting, can horro get any cuter 🫶😫. he's so heavily neurodivergent coded and your representation gave him justice.

that part where you wrote that social interactions are very tedious for him and that he relies on reader for it, they def know his cues that tells when he's drained for the night. and if he reaches for your fingers? that silent plead? say no more honey, we boutta french exit.

glad you like it! I did project a lil onto Horropi lmfao

also that's very cute! knowing him, he would probably also love to play into whatever scenario/excuse you come up to leave whatever social gathering you're both in

personally, I like to think of Horropi as the type of guy who generally doesn't notice these social cues - if he wants to leave, then he goes "aight bye! got more important things to do" and leaves even if he was in the middle of a conversation with someone else. so if he's starting to get overwhelmed or drained from social interaction, its bc he PHYSICALLY cannot leave

not to say hes ENTIRELY blind to them, his childhood in the Foundation deffo have made him pick up on all the rules of conduct and what they expect of him, especially considering his interactions with Jessica in her event. but when he's not masking for the higher-ups, it's easy to slip - so the reader is usually there to diffuse the situation, should he end up saying something rude that You're Not Supposed To Say Outloud or if he takes ppl's words too literally and all

I also like to think they're very silly and casual about it, like. Tooth Fairy is scolding his ass and the reader is right behind her, trying to mouth or gesture all the right things for say to Horropedia to get out of trouble. theyre just sillies! ! !

[heartshattering]

I don't know why the people in my life always want me to figure out what they want instead of just asking me "Can I have (thing)?" or "Would you do (thing) for me?" or whatever (especially because I've told them multiple times to ask me for things directly because it prevents me from misunderstanding things)

Like if you ask me "Do you have (thing)?" my brain isn't going to automatically think "Oh, they're saying they want it now!" which is apparently what I'm supposed to get out of that question. I'll just say "Yes, I have it" or "No, I don't have it" and continue doing whatever I'm doing.

But if you tell me "Do you have (thing)? If you do, please give it to me" or like, just ask "Can you give it to me?" after I say that I have it, then that makes it way easier for me to understand what you want me to do! Sorry but it's not my problem that other people suck at communicating their needs and want me to be a damn mind-reader for them...

Would anyone be interested in a Rita Calhoun character study playlist I made (idk if i wanna make it public rn so lmk if you want the link!) 👀

[venomvalley]

(x reader debate stuff) im a writer but had managed to avoid the posts so far, until one popped up on my dash, reblogged by a writer mutual might i add (they write x oc, I write x reader) and um wow, it’s so horrible. I have no idea where all this hate has come from and it feels so sudden, people have loved x reader stuff for years, or at least I thought so? What’s now with the sudden revolt? Do they not realise that they’re hurting people here by being so outwardly hateful instead of just scrolling past? It particularly hurt coming from that mutual, I really hope x oc writers aren’t now trying to act all high and mighty over this shit because that would be so scummy.

we are all on tumblr so we are all really fuckin cringe and thats FINE. the entire point of the site is to be unapologetically urself like thats just us babey !!!!

[spidey-bie]

Hey so....here's a poll.

I will respect the results of this poll but know I'm doing this out of procrastination and to stall.

[the-mountain-flower]

I came up with smn cool that probably only matters to me but IDC imma share it anyway bc I think it's cool

So most, if not all, reading this will know about the "many people still upset that Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet when it used to be labeled as a planet" thing. I've got no qualms either way, whether or not it's a planet doesn't affect me. But my ND brain started connecting the harmless "Pluto is a planet fuck you" with the harmful science-denial running rampant rn.

Obviously that's bullshit. No way in hell is the categorization of astral bodies and the emotions people have with it, on the same level as shit like "vaccines are bad" etc. So even tho it's technically a small thing, the fact that my brain started connecting them was irking me, so I thought of ways to get around that.

What I came up with is kinda similar yet opposite to the original idea: "dwarf planet" still has the word "planet" in it.

We still categorize the eight larger planets into the inner rocky ones, and the outer gas giants. This is because even though they are all in the same "large masses orbiting the sun maybe with moons", the two types are different enough to warrant being in separate categories. I figured that "dwarf planets" could be considered another one of those categories, big enough to be on the list of major orbital bodies, while significantly smaller than the ones before the Asteroid Belt or gas giants (according to NASA, specifically ones that weren't able to "clear their orbit of debris" which is where the size thing comes in bc gravity).

Pluto, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris are in a category of their own that acknowledge their individuality from all other objects. Like coming out as queer, Pluto (and Ceres apparently) was thought to be one thing, then realized to be another. (This is NOT saying "Pluto is a planet fuck you" is equal to bigotry either, one is harmless and the other is harmful. I'm not accusing anyone in the first category of being just as bad, it's not true. It's also of a separate enough subject that my brain doesn't have a hard time keeping them separate, so it's not too counterproductive to my point.)

So both can be true, because Pluto IS a planet, just the same type of planet as Eris, Makemake, Ceres, and Haumea.

Is that completely scientifically founded? Technically no, dwarf planets don't actually meet the criteria of an official planet. But it works bc "planet" is still in the name, and there's a difference between general knowledge of smn and the official technicalities, and the official technicalities are still enough for this one.

Is it just a different way of anthropomorphizing the planets? Yeah.

Does it work? Yup. So long as I'm not accidentally associating something Not Bad with something Bad and it's not blatantly untrue, I'm good with it.

But yeah, I thought it was creative and so figured I'd share. 🤷‍♀️❤️

[asterdeer]

would it be petty if i didn't read a book i was really looking forward to because the author lists "catholicism/christianity" as a trigger warning amongst other warnings such as "murder," "gore," and "ableism"

[pantestudines]

having a "former gifted kid" type mental spiral

[sentineluno]

I remember one time i had to read a book for an assignment back in the horrible days of school and i felt (obviously) traumatized at the idea of never having a single day to relax.

Also i never could sleep because of horrible anxiety and night terrors, so one night i decided to read the book.

Best book i have ever read for my age. It wasn't too long and enjoyed every bit of it.

By the time i realized i finished the book, bloodshot eyes (because no sleep) and trembling (because excited to enjoy reading shocker) and it was daytime.

I felt horribly tired but i can't lie that i enjoyed the look of abject horror and astonishment from both profesors and students when i said i read the entire thing in one night when the book reading was to read in about a month or so.

I was both lol (and in the Internet age, I'd say obsessively browsing Wikipedia counts as reading the encyclopedia for fun.)

[let-me-be-an-egg-toast]

I have read this banger fic where the reader is painfully (emphasis on painfully) relatable and realistic BUT THERE'S TWO CHARACTERS ARE KINDA (KINDA??? ARE YOU SURE-) OOC

[vasito-de-leche]

🖐🩹 omg your replies- my professional occupation is brainrot so let's goo

(also I wanted to adress how you called me nonnie that's just adorable)

when I said I wanted you to elaborate it was my terrible way of expressing thoughts, I meant to request another oneshot. 👉👈(the whole ordeal could be pretty ironic — maybe we walked up to him in the worst possible moment and its _just_ the situation FMN was afraid of _and_ we are still getting through? We unknowingly proved wrong another layer of his doubts)

Your thoughts are very interesting to read too, that was an insight not only into the character but also into your of... idk, philosophy? about "reader" figure. Taking them into account, I understand that you may not wanna write about said situation as this is not everyone's cup of tea BUT I'd be happy if you were to. Love throwing mentos into the cola and look what'll happen lol

LOT'S of love literally Im yeeting my respect and fascination at you.

OHHHHH, okay okay

then please, when requesting something be clear about it, otherwise I might think it's chitchat! just a simple "hey can I request A or B" or "could you write a continuation of this other post you made?" will do!

and if you'd like me to write about something specific, then also specify what it is you're looking for!

my "philosophy" is that I'm keeping as much as I can about the reader vague so that EVERYONE can enjoy my work and fill in the blanks themselves - unless the prompt I'm given actively requests something specific for the reader

for example, if you ask me for JUST relationship headcanons, then I'll try to think of all possible options to cover as much ground as I can, because that request was vague - I can't specify things about the reader, because there was nothing specified for them. but you can absolutely give me extra details about the situation, the setting, the plot, the AU, the reader's personality/background etc!

in this context (if I'm understanding this ask correctly) you'd like to see a different oneshot in which the reader finds FMN in the middle killing someone and the reader just stays with him anyway?

since you don't specify the reader's stance or thoughts or personality, or why they even chose to stay with him, I can only keep details about the reader vague and focus on FMN's reaction and POV. if you want to read about a reader who is entirely oblivious to FMN's shitty morals, then ask for that! it helps a lot!

hope this helped, I invite you to send your request again while keeping all of this in mind!

[uchiha-gaeshi]

How does one go about writing an SI/OC that's flawed enough to be human and somewhat relatable yet not too annoying?
