[Image description: A digital painting of Bubba Ritter from the film Dark Night of the Scarecrow. It depicts him with a burlap sack over his head, like a scarecrow would wear. The piece is a close-up, so the sack takes up the whole canvas. There's three ragged holes in the sack, two for his eyes, and one for his mouth. While surrounded by deep blue shadow, the eyes are very prominent and bright, gazing intently forward. They seem open wide in fear. Nothing is visible in the mouth hole, which seems just like a gaping void. The piece uses a lot of colours, but primarily yellows, blues, and greens. The painting is soft with some grainy texture and a lot of hatching, which replicates the burlap texture.]

Hawk and Tim genuinely bad at being honest with their feelings

The irony in this scene in episode 3 when Tim was confronting Hawk indirectly through a song on why he never tell him he loves him and even asking Hawk to confess through the lyric but the truth is in the previous episode, Hawk did confess but alas indirectly as well.

It breaks my heart when Tim was crying at the end and he couldn’t even finish the song and running away from the restaurant after he saw the couple he sang to kissed because he was so upset and felt incredibly sad that they could have this sweet candle light dinner with their loved one, where they could show their love openly, and even kiss ! To express their love without shame and he knew he could never have it with Hawk and he couldn’t handle the cruel reality, to pretend like it didn’t affect him at all, he’s tired of pretending to be strong, when he sang that song first he was smiling to Hawk, like this was just a game between them but slowly those facades crumbled to the ground at the face of the reality he couldn’t have.

They’re both such a disaster, they didn’t talk about their feelings that much when they’re together, seriously their foreplay was talking about politics 😓 they rather dance around those things in hope they can buy more time with each other if they could just just shove it at the back of their mind like it never existed because as Hawk said “I know you love me and my feelings for you are deep but I��ve always known we have no real future together.”

Hawk glancing toward Tim at every confession he uttered from his mouth, holding his breath wondering if Tim knew that he was laying down his feeling for him through this letter but Tim was so scared and so panicked to even realize the double meaning in those letters, he saw Hawk’s confession as a dagger he used to tear down another person relationship that’s why he couldn’t read between the lines at all and completely miss the chance to get a glimpse of Hawk's true feelings for him.

When Hawk was being interrogated and they asked him if he ever fall in love with another male, the memory that flashed before his eyes were all of Tim when he look the most innocent and vulnerable when he's giving himself fully to Hawk, not too much of a graphic memories compared to when he remembered of his other sexual partners, it wasn't much about all those sex when it came to Tim, he fell for Tim for entirely purer reason than he dare to admit. Tim's big eyes looking at Hawk like the most adorable puppy when he asked him to fold his pants, not a rebellion or offense in those eyes but the revelation that he would do anything Hawk ask of him and hawk...is gone in those big eyes since that moment on.

I love that we have this scene on how Hawk could pass the lie detector test where he explained his method to Marcus, so in conclusion, never once he feels guilty for falling for Tim, for loving him, he loves him truly but he just couldn't be honest with himself or to Tim because it's just how the way it's in his time, too farfetched of a dream to be together and not face repercussion or lost everything, so why risk both of their hearts with honesty? When lie literally could protect them from both physical or emotional harm.

1. Hi!

I've been watching your content for a while and I really liked it, so I would like you to please help me find a fic.

This fic is a One shot with a/b/o theme (wwx omega LWJ alpha) where wwx lived a "house" for omegas (where he is a friend of mm) and they "borrow" it for prince Lwj, Lxc ( alpha) is the emperor and JGY (omega) is his partner.

In Gusu, omegas are not considered for cultivation, however, wwx doesn't care much about that and there is a scene where he along with LWJ fight in a cave with a monster. The final scene of the one shot occurs when WWX runs away from Gusu to the beach, LWJ follows him because they promised to visit the sea one day together.

the wangxian relationship is slow and with lwj's problems to express his feelings 😓

I would appreciate your help, if you need more information, I will gladly try to remember more things😊 and sorry for the grammar, my native language is not English (google translator)

2. Heya! Can y'all help me find a fic?

The part of the plot i remember is that WWX uses an array to erase himself and the wens from the memory of the cultivation world. The array stops one day, and a bunch of people go to the burial mounds to see what's up. It was on ao3, probably.

and that's ~all i remember~

a nice fic but not the one i remember. pretty sure wwx was hiding in the burial mounds with the wens. thanks for this fic tho!

3. Hi, i was looking for a fic i think i found in your blog? It was a wip and it was something along the line of wwx as yilling patriarch and the sects sent lan wangji for tribute. But they already knew each other.

I remember this one scene where lan wangji finds bunnies inside the burial mounds but wwx captures them to eat and lwj is sad.

I don't remember the title or anything because i think i directly clicked the link and started reading but then i forgot to bookmark it and lost the link.

Please help me find it, i really wanna know what happened next.🙏😔

4. fic finder request! looking for two fics that i can't seem to locate in my bookmarks - A) in the first one, sizhui (and the rest of the juniors?) somehow reach through time and rescue wwx (i think dead in present time), bringing him into their present! in the process they create a lot of trouble, due to the power expended and released, i believe they turned a mountain into a crater or something.

B) the second fic I'm looking for takes place during the sunshot campaign, when baoshan sanren decides to join the fight and intervenes. she restores both jc and wwx's cores, by reaching back into time and removing jc's core right before it's melted by wzl, she also returns wwx's core from jc's to wwx's body. she does this in her tent, which is also a dimension travel portal or something which iirc links back to her home on the mountain.

thank you very much!! @potatokunst

5. hi! gosh, i have had this fic stuck in my head for the past weeks but for the life of me, i just cannot remember the name. i really hope you can help me find it!

the fic is about how modern wei wuxian is a researcher/scientist and he got his hands on a shady book written by baoshan sanren, accidentally triggers a talisman/array and somehow being transported into the wuxia version and it involves the people who died coming back to life and they all watch/read the past and it just sort of becomes one big therapy session.

i think i remember there being a part in the fic where modern wei wuxian mentions transferring/donating his organ to modern jiang cheng in reference to how og wei wuxian transfered his gold core to og jiang cheng.

and also a part where it was mention that for modern wei wuxian, it was madam yu who found and brought him back to the jiang family to be raised and not sect leader jiang; also it was implied that the modern jiang family is actually a loving happy family in contrast to the sort of dysfunctional og one because modern wei wuxian address's madam yu and sect leader jiang as mother and father.

i wish i could remember more, i hope this would be enough to go on. please help me and thank you so much in advance! @lilith--14

I believe this fic has been deleted but please correct me if I'm wrong - Mod C

FOUND? Yes the fic was deleted. It's "Loving Future, Distant Past" by yareyarejojosan. Here is a link to a folder that contains all of the author's fics

6. For a fic finder, there was this nsfw kinda darkji (probably pwp) fic that haunts me and might have been deleted, becaused i’ve searched in every way I know how: (post?)canon, wwx can’t get hard anymore for some reason. He is embarrassed to admit it to lwj, who then calms him and says it’s normal and that he doesn’t use it for much anyway. Turns out lwj was the one who started and keeps giving him the tea for impotence. The lan doctors are in on this(?) Thanks if anyone can identify this one!

I don’t think 6 on the last fic finder was it (still a delishiously dark-ish rec, thank you!), it was (probably) a shorter pwp and not modern

7. Hello (✿◠‿◠) hope you having a good day! This is for the fic finder, I've been looking for this fic where after his death wwx comes back as a rabbit, it has a glossary at the start for words/terms the rabbits use, I think? I really hope this is enough to go form!

FOUND! Dignity and Animality by quick_cat_tl (G, 31k, WangXian, Watership Down, u know the one with the political/philosophical bunnies, Reincarnation, Lapine language, Rabbit!WWX, Sunny Angst, Pining) Hi, number 7 is probably „Dignity and Animality“ by Anielka. Unfortunately, it seems to be deleted on AO3. / For #7, I remember reading "Dignity and Animality!" When I click the link for it (from the wangxianficrecs tumblr), it redirects to Dignity and Animality by quick_cat_tl - maybe the author changed their AO3 handle? / The question about #7 - I copied the link for the current posting for that story and then took it into the wayback machine where that same link does pull up the story being underneath the original name mentioned back in 2021, so it was a name change and not a repost.

8. I’m looking for a fic, one chapter, Lan Wangji is a teacher in Cloud Recesses. He takes Wei Wuxian to the Jingshi and it’s implied that he told Wei Wuxian he’d not tell anyone what Wei Wuxian had done so long as Wei Wuxian let him fuck him.

10. Hi! Your work on this blog is absolutely amazing! For fic finder, I've been searching for a fic I read awhile ago. It's post-canon. WWX is traveling and writing to LWJ, but letters stop coming. LWJ searches and finds that to prevent a creature from preying on a local child, WWX took it on himself but to prevent the curse from hurting anyone else, he's hiding in a cave, constantly drinking to dull the effects.

11. Hey I read a book recently, in there, there was a scene where, wwx was protecting someone? Or someone was protecting wwx? By standing on one side of fire and the attackers/i think it was jins or someone on the other side of fire. The scene was fierce. They were like us against the world type of scene. Do u know this fic? @constellationdks

#11 for recent fic finder here, thnx for the rec but it's not the one. The one I'm looking for is quite long, I think it was more than 30 or 40k. Also the scene wasn't with a yuan.

I know number 11 and I'm trying to search for it. It's wwx holding a-yuan in his arms in an alleyway when they are attacked by the jin. The premise has something to do with that strength parents get when defending their children? 🤔 let me get back to you!

NOT FOUND Hysterical Strength by covalentbonds (Not Rated, 3k, WIP, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Parent WWX, Fix-It of Sorts, Everybody Lives/Nobody dies) Wwx is out one evening with a-yuan when he is ambushed by the jin.

12. Fic finder please! 🙏

This would be a hybrid/warprize LWJ where he was a bunny hybrid and WWX was a snake. WRH has LWJ shipped off to WWX, who ends up helping him and eventually gets him reunited with LXC.

I remember there was art of LWJ and rabbits bc WWX was trying to help him calm down. I’ve read this sometime last year and can’t find it anywhere! 😭😭

I don’t know if it’s the same one but I think at some point wwx bought lwj home while he was drunk and waited for lxc to come pick him up and jc saw them talking on the couch and he thought they were dating (they weren’t together yet)

15. Hello, I am looking for a fic I read some time ago (it could be a few years). I think it was post-canon, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian were together. LWJ gets cursed and the only thing he has in mind is killing WWX (since he sees him only as the big bad Yiling Laozu). At the end, WWX pretends LWJ killed him and the curse is lifted. It was posted on ao3. Thank you for your hard work! And have a great day!

I think I remember this fic! It starts out with WWX accidentally cursing LWJ with a talisman while they were in the jingshi and ends with WWX running to the burial mounds, finding out there are people who worship him living there, and he uses the incense burner to trick LWJ into thinking he killed him to break the curse, right? I can't recall the name though - Mod C

FOUND? all the broken things that I made by ilip13 (E, 43k, WangXian, Post-Canon, Established Relationship, Angst with a Happy Ending, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Lovers To Enemies, (then back to lovers I'm not a monster), Dubcon Kissing, Dubious Consent, But mostly not in the way you might expect - see notes for details, Explicit Sexual Content, Bondage, Flirting, Competence Kink) might be this?

16. Okay I could have easily dreamt this up but I could have sworn there was a fic where either LWJ or WWX was in a orchestra and his band mates thought he was married to wen qing because she was the one to always bring a Yuan to him after school or something only to think he was cheating when his actual husband comes by pls tell me I didn't dream this

~*~

17. Hi! im sorry i lost a fic and i need help. It was an old wangxian fic, where LXC He's emperor (?) and LWJ is engaged to WWX, in this fic they get married and there are problems with the marriage because LWJ was a little bad during their engagement, since they were children. WWX was always trying to get his attention until one day he gave up. In the fic there is a part where Su She shoots WWX with an arrow and LWJ punishes him in some way.I remember it was also a Tumblr AU that later become a fic

18. Hi! This is for fic finder. WWX is killed by SMS in sunshot campaign. He then resurected years later by MXY in JGS order. WWX and LWJ fight together. WWX hand is blackened i think. JGS refused to tell WWX what is MXY wish is. In last chapter, JGS is killed by JGY or Madam Jin and WWX is free from the curse. I think JGS death is because of NHS plot i think. Thank you! @idontknowwhattowriteforusername

Hi! I'am #18 from the latests fic finder. I want to add some details. Not much but i hope someone can recognize it. Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi was sent to Qishan either as a hostage or indocrination. In there, everytime they are punished, Wen Ning and Wen Yuan help them to make the punishment lighter. Sometimes they warned Jin Ling, Lan Jingyi, and other junior everytime other wen sect member (the one that didnt hesitate to punush them harshly) nearby. I think Wen Qing too help everytime the punishment is so harsh that caused injury, she make them stay in infirmary where they are safe

19. Hello! I’m looking for a fic where mxy and wwx are a couple who take lwj home for a night in a modern AU. The beginning talks about how mxy and wwx looked so similar that when they first met they were worried they were related. Lwj is on the verge of being in love w/ wwx, but he’s hesitant to act on it bc of the relationship between wwx & mxy. Once he’s in bed with them there’s a line about red satin sheets for special guests. It’s such a specific premise but I couldn’t find it on ao3😭

[the-words-we-sung]

Season 3 ending

So... It's been almost a week since the last episode, almost a week trying to wrap my head around the end of the show, trying to manage my feelings about it all.

It's hard to end up feeling the complete opposite of nearly everyone on my dash but I've come to terms with the fact that I didn't love the ending. I didn't love this last episode. (I shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for saying so but you guys loved it so much that I feel a bit like an outsider right now 😓)

I haven't been a fan of the show for as long as most of you, but it means so much to me. These characters carved a place in my heart and in my head, and they've made me happy for months now. They helped me get through some stuff, made me discover some amazing artists, meet even more amazing people through this fandom. And I loved the story. Even in its darkest, saddest parts, I loved it. I was invested.

I love Wilhelm and Simon, together and separately. They mean so much to me. And I loved season 1 and 2. It made me happy, and sad, and frustrated, and exalted. But overall, I trusted the show and I was not disappointed.

Season 3 was a lot. I liked the first 5 episodes. I can't say that I loved everything about them: I was not expecting things to get so hard for Simon, with no reprieve in sight. I was not worried about Wilmon being endgame (I know it was a big stress for the fandom but honestly I never doubted that they were endgame), but I was wondering how the show would go about tying all the knots it made (I should even say all the knots it added during this last season).

(Under a read more because it's a bit long and I don't want to bother those who don't wanna read more of my frustrated thoughts ^^')

And unfortunately the last episode was a huge let down for me. Yes, it's partly because nothing I was hoping for actually happened, but mostly, it's because the choices they made did not feel very satisfying to me: ⁕ Simon was barely there. We went from him being bullied online/offline non stop for 5 episodes to almost nothing. It makes 0 sense to me. ⁕ Kristina suddenly feeling better: she was having break down upon break down for an entire season, could barely look at her son or even just talk normally and all of a sudden she's back, smiling and agreeing to everything Wilhelm says? I'm sorry but I don't buy it? Where did this Kristina hid during the entire show? ⁕ Wilhelm deciding to not be king, talking for 3min to his parents about it, them agreeing and him running into the sunset with Simon. I'm sorry, what?? I love that they end up together of course, but it makes very little sense to me? It won't change any of the issues they had this season? They're still gonna be famous? And bullied online/offline? (Probably even more so now?). I'm not obviously saying that Wilhelm staying in line to become king was the only or the best solution, but I wanted more from this storyline. I wanted to believe it. And right now, what we got? It feels a bit cheap (and I feel bad for saying that because the ending was cute and romantic and all, but it felt too disconnected from the rest of the show for me ><)

And apart from these few points, the big issue I had with this episode was: The Angst. So that might be a me-problem, but it was too much for my poor little heart (I haven't rewatched the episode yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to anytime soon ><). I spent like 40min of the episode with a huge knot in the stomach because the heartbreak between Simon and Wilhelm was too much to handle for me. I can see how it was beautifully made, that having lots of throwbacks to the previous seasons, the Wille song, all of that was great cinematography. But it was just too much for me. I got in the season spoiler-free but for this episode? During the lake scene I had to take a break and check online if they were actually endgame because it was starting to actually give me a stomachache. So yeah, this part might be me being too sensitive but I did not like that they made me see them fight for each other for 2 seasons and 5 episodes, but then just giving up for 40min before finally running back to each other during the last 10min. It was just too much sadness for me ><

So yeah, maybe my expectations were too high? But I feel sad, and kinda cheated. Too many things are left wide opened. Too many things make zero sense to me. And of course I'm happy we got our Wilmon endgame, but I'm less happy about how it happened.

It's a bit hard being on Tumblr right now and seeing everyone who thought it was the perfect episode >< And I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" (as the saying goes), but I still wanna be able to share my thoughts! I probably won't write super angry/unhappy/complaining posts about the season/the finale, but I still wanna be able to chat about it. I did see some posts on my dash from people not being entirely satisfied with this ending so it's a bit comforting. And I hope we can share some nice headcanons, or just discussions about different plot points.

But yeah, I guess that's why I haven't really been active this week! Trying to get over the double heartbreak of the end of the show + being disappointed with the ending! I'm gonna come back though! I miss hanging out here, I just need to strengthen my heart a little bit more :p Gonna get back to writing about my thoughts episode by episode for this season (I can't promise I can rewatch the last one though 😖 It might take me a bit of time to get there). And I want to continue my song analysis of the show!! I'm not even done with season 2 yet, I have some work to do there ^^

So see you back here very soon 😘

[coeluvr]

I hope this doesn't come off as rude but it's just i've been curious for a while so i had to ask ; do you really hate vincent or is that more of a running joke? I just find it slightly weird he's the only RO (and one of the characters) you've been constantly speaking bad about. I rarely remember you saying smth nice about him. Ngl as a vincent romancer it's kinda discouraging. Again, i hope this doesn't come off as rude, i was simply sharing my feelings over this and wanted your insight. I love the story and Vincent <3

Oh god 😭😭 It's a running joke because of how he was created LOL I won't get into it because it's loser core of me 😔💔 but I assure you I love him just as much as the others!

If I truly hated his guts he wouldn't have good scenes like come on you think I would have written his festival scene in chapter 2 like that if I hated his guts? 😭 He even gets to be with MC all the time for a month even if he hates it... 🤭

I bully the characters I like the most (if you read the story that's pretty clear 😓) and I try to always put a tone tag after my jokes regarding him to avoid confusion. 🙇‍♀️ So yeah, don't worry about it.

GIRL!!! i have been a quiet (but faithful, don’t get it twisted i have never missed an update) reader. i love cbmthy and am so thankful that you’ve brought us this story, i genuinely look forward to your updates. but what the heck!!! i’m so sad about reader :( i feel like i just got blue balled (in the best/worst way possible). i’m so attached to this story, i feel so bad for y/n. i hope there’s a way to beat the 6 month lifespan, i am on my hands & knees praying she lives a long and eventually happy life 😭🤯😓😀🥹🙏🏻🧎‍♀️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️

anyways, sorry for my ramblings, and thank you for the story. we appreciate and love you and cbmthy y/n so much!!

- your loyal, distraught reader

Hiya!!!

You're making me feel all warm and happy, thank you for enjoying cbmthy so much :(

And sorry about reader's situation... I promise it's not all misery from here though! I know I've blabbered about some vague stuff already but I'm just so looking forward to vicariously going on some adventures with reader (and also you guys because I love getting to hear thoughts and reactions to chapters or scenes - they really make me so happy to hear <3)

'i hope there’s a way to beat the 6 month lifespan,'

I mean, where we are in the story at the moment I think is around early/mid November? I'm not sure about actual dates but I know that in Velaris it feels like it's winter, so six months forward will at least see her through the cold and back into the warmer weather! Not to mention she still gets to celebrate solecist with everyone and Starfall one last time, before things are due to end so let's hope she gets herself together and manages to make the most of it!

It would be nice though, and it's also nice to see some people still believe there's hope for reader yet <3

Chapter 22 - Part 2

Lest you've lost your way, click here to progress (regress?) back to Part 1.

...Okay, now I'm officially worried.

Meanwhile, back in the Real World™️ (shout-out to my buddy @kantochampred!):

Alright, I'm about to go off on a small side tangent here but I promise it's worth it-

(Sorry to post your sins on main, Red 😔)

(Why Do I Climb the Mountain? is a reference btw)

LMAO OKAY thank you for bearing with me, now back to the main show:

Good job, neither of those two things is correct!

...Okay, Cherrim has replaced Drifblim, yes, but. Imagine this tiny seed holding Teresa and Andrea by their little stubby hands while riding the wind down the mountain.

I had to look up a walkthrough to identify that little Riolu to the right. Normally, that's an Exeggcute! (And the backup for Team Frontier, apparently).

The Third Station Pass was dubbed Great Turn, while the clearing was called:

Admittedly, I had no idea what an "oubliette" was, so I did a quick search and...

Wait a minute, are you freaking kidding me-

WE ARE STARRING IN A WAR DRAMA AAAAAAAAAAAA-

(Apologies for the small text at the start, let me know if I need to add an image description!)

...No >:l

The only reason I left this in is because this happened:

Oh my God yes PLEASE-

So fun fact, I actually did a dry run of the first few dungeons before doing it for real and taking photos. And the first time around, this gift was an Escape Orb? Which isn't bad, but I would 100% take the Reviver Seed over that any day.

The 4th Station Pass was named Sad Peninsula. (Florida? Dat you?) And the 4th Station Clearing? See below.

But then!

(Handsome Desolation? Is this where the handsome men in uniform... perish?! 😓)

I feel like a large, prehistoric rock dino should be enough to scare most things, but I guess taking the even larger rock snake as backup can't hurt.

So we go through the 5th Station Pass, Sandy Way... (Only one letter different from Sandy Bay.)

I. Don't remember why I took a picture of this. The downfalls of not immediately composing posts after the playthrough...

But yeah, those giant two-room dungeons with guaranteed MH's and a huge mass of enemies in the other room aside is definitely a theme and I hate it.

Andrea consumed enough Gummis to obtain this IQ skill, which is awesome since Max Elixirs are so hard to come by.

Look at this!! I'm pretty sure Blizzard only had 7 PP before! Yee haw!

I wonder which Pokémon are the ones bothering Sneasel Pichu?

OH NOOO!! I'm imagining this grisly scene where all these Combusken are just pecking Pichu to death.

Team Frontier happens to beat us to the punch:

I love that Onix is so big that she blocks Nidoran F.

Like all territorial encroachments in Mystery Dungeon, everyone just jumps right into the fray without listening to anyone 🙄

Honestly, all of Team Frontier was pretty based. Jolteon had an ability that allowed him to attack twice in a row (I think because the weather was different?) and he consistently used X-Scissor. Nidoran F had Sesimic Toss (55 damage) and Ice Beam. Deoxys had Attack Order, Seed Flare, Rock Wrecker(!), and Swift, the last hitting for 120 damage on a critical. Combined with Teresa's Chatter (when we finally got there, because you start off a ways from everyone), they didn't stay up for much longer.

Also Jolteon shielded me when Teresa got low on HP 🥺️

"SIT DOWN FOR TWO SECONDS AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, I SWEAR TO ARCEUS!"

"We owe you..." -> Yet another line from this game that never made any sense to me. (Unless it was sarcasm ig?)

💀You what

Hey, speaking of... I know Onix is huge and all, but have y'all seen Pichu since the fight started...?

(Beep boop, click here to advance to Part 3)

[pisshorny]

[sukirichi]

dtd is SOOOO taylor swift coded so here are some of my favourite lyrics that i think perfectly depict this series 😓😓

false god: “they say the road gets hard and you get lost when you’re led by blind faith”

don’t you: “you don’t know how much I feel I love you still so why don’t you, don’t you?”

untouchable: “you gotta, come on, come on, say that we’ll be together”

say don’t go (this one ESPECIALLY): “why’d you have to, make me love you, i said ‘i love you’, you say nothing back” my heart breaks every time 💔💔💔💔 praying for sunayn endgame

literally the whole of wildest dreams and happiness 😭💔

girl at home: “don’t look at me, you’ve got a girl at home and everybody knows that”

babe: “since you admitted it i keep picturing her lips on your neck, I can’t unsee it”

fortnight: “I love you, it’s ruining my life”

who’s afraid of little old me?: “the scandal was contained, the bullet had just grazed, at all costs keep your good name, you don’t get to tell me you feel bad”

my tears ricochet: “even on my worst day, did I deserve babe, all the hell you gave me, cuz I loved you, I swear I loved you”

guilty as sin: “what if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?”

you’re losing me: “and I wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser, who only wanted you to see her” BAWLING RN 😭😭😭😭😭😭

okay on a side note your writing has CHANGED MY LIFE I swear I look forward to dtd tuesdays so much now that they’ve become one of the highlights of my week and listening to ts while reading just amplifies all the emotions felt from your writing 🫶🏻🫶🏻 im rooting for sunayn so HARD he really just deserves all the love don’t fight me pls 😓😓 sunayn will always have my heart sorry kiyo 😁

Incredibles au

Royal castle town wedding

Courage of ages

I will gladly talk about all three, you underestimate my ability to blab about my projects hehe

Incredibles au

INCREDIBLES AU WOOO Been working on the main fic on and off, was feeling kinda discouraged, and then I actually reread all of what I’ve got and was like “okay this actually isn’t so bad”.

I’d love to start publishing it, but the literal first chapter is so full of action scenes that I can’t write it very fast 😓 Plus there’s some (kinda important!) plot things I’m still trying to make work, and haven’t figured out yet. So eventually! Just not yet. Here’s a bit of it though!

“Hey Warriors!” Wild called from the table, then spat an entire mouthful of water at him from across the room before Malon could tell him not to.

Warriors lunged forward and shot some ice from his hands, freezing the water and catching it before it could hit the ground. He held it out to Wild with a grin, and he took it with a slightly disappointed expression.

“Aw... I like it when it shatters.”

Time grabbed his coat from the hanger as Warriors made the rounds and asked how everyone was doing, before ruffling Legend’s hair and making him squawk.

“How you doing Ledge? See you’re still crazy about carrots,” he teased with a look at his plate.

“And I see you’re still insufferable as ever, uncle freezer burn,” Legend snapped back, whacking his hand off his head.

“Aw, I love you too.”

Royal Castletown Wedding

I’m going to put the other two under a cut so I don’t take up everyone’s dashboards 😅

Castletown wedding! It’s only got another chapter or two left, then it’ll be finished! I’ve got a few deleted scenes from it too I’m hoping to maybe post once it’s finished. I honestly just need to sit down and finish the silly thing, but lately other things have been taking my attention heh.

Here’s a section of it :)

“Poor Cia...” Artemis murmured, pity in her eyes. “She’d never truly returned after all. She was merely a shadow, a tool like everything else...”

“Well shadow or not, she sure made a mess of things” Legend grumbled. “Good riddance.”

The others nodded, though Warriors seemed oddly subdued still, his eyes glazed like he was looking at something only he could see. Then he shuddered, and shook his head, snapping out of whatever daze he’d been in. He noticed Wind was looking at him, and gave him a faint smile, but Wind turned away.

Courage of Ages

Coa my beloved 💖💖💖 My own Links meet au thing, I’ve got so many random scenes and interactions (and aus heh) with these guys written down that may or may not actually end up in the alleged main fic. I always welcome questions about them! :D

But here’s a bit that’ll probably end up in the main fic at some point, or might just be a scene I’ll post by itself. We’ll have to wait and see :)

“Who all do you have back home Cloud?” Gloam asked once Windy had finally quit pestering him.

“You got anyone like that?” Light asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

Their resident cloudy hero blushed, and scratched the back of his neck. “Well. Yes. I mean...”

He held up his left hand, tugging off the glove atop it and revealing a wedding band around his finger.

“...I do have someone waiting for me back home.”

Gloam clapped him on the shoulder as a few ooohs went up from the others. “Well wouldn’t you know it, one of us is hitched! You’ve been holding out on us! What’s her name? You been together long?”

Cloud’s face turned wistful, and he sighed. “Zelda. And it hasn’t even been a week. I was on my honeymoon.”

Several glances were exchanged at the name, but Windy merely looked dismayed.

“Oh no, that’s terrible Cloud, this must be awful for you!” the sailor exclaimed, and the chosen hero smiled a bit despite the sad look in his eyes.

“Yes. But at least I know she’s safe.” His expression turned dismal. “She likely has no clue what happened to me.”

[hekatekun]

yaoi was horrendous this week genuinely great job i am always obsessed with your uncanny ability to put todomatsu under a magnifying glass and burn him like an ant ^__^ cannot wait for chapter 5!!! i noticed a change in direction though particularly in how you characterize todomatsu's interactions w atsushi which i really liked!! i am curious though what prompted it :33

thank you^^<3 there's probably a few different reasons both intentional and unintentional. to start, ccckk will have 10 chapters, however in its original "outlining" i intended to have 9 chapters

i've shared my hyperlinked table of contents on a few different posts now, mostly as cockteasers. but also i literally don't think i could navigate the google doc without it atp

i think theres like 30k of it published? so there's on average at least 1-2k worth of a scene in all 6 of the unpublished chapters that i've chipped away at over the last 3 years, bc ofc some are more developed than others. there's never been a solid outline for ccckk but rather a string of scenes i knew i wanted at certain intervals, like milestones, and i had wanted to retro-engineer the rest around those concepts

with that in mind, ch10 isn't a real chapter but more like a coda i wrote right after publishing ch1 and so the rest has been "how do i move the story from ch1 to this epilogue?" the plot is only in the first 9 chapters, so i structured it with three "acts" in mind and tried to have the chapter titles reflect that - both for my own amusement and to ground the ideas better lest i forget what wasn't written yet. so if ch4 starts "act 2" then it should show off that shift. but also, i never intended ccckk to be a slowburn, more like a...... medium burn ig? it's supposed to be a todomatty character study first and foremost, after all

each chapter should feel episodic to some extent, since i paced it on individual chapter "goals" rather than wordcount or anything (tbh i actually thought i would only ever hit ~50k total but if i'm not even halfway done and i'm at 30k now? jesus fuck. fuck me. what the fuck did i do.) if i've planned/structured the story like i'm fitting individual glass pieces into a metal frame, then by god you're gonna get the yaoi-est stain-glass art you've ever seen outside church in your life. it's why ch4 utilizes something like a montage, to show that ~passage of time~ and what that did to their dynamic now in this act 2

as to what that situationship dynamic actually ended up looking like on the big screen, i definitely blame @moeatsushi's art for that one^^ a lot of it made me realize i could definitely make them..... messier? nastier? gayer? [insert tumblrbait adjective]? for a lack of a better word. and that i could balance That with the surrealist realism that i wanted to achieve when translating the show into prose. also helped me get out of a general writer's block<3

beyond all that, i think part of it comes from me now being 23 writing yaoi instead of writing yaoi at 20. not that my brains developed any more, but my opinions have changed. like, to the point i find it hard to read the previous chapters when i have to reference them. ch1 really is a mark of shame to me ngl only god knows how i wouldve wrote it now. i had a friend look at it a few weeks ago and they called that shit "college freshmen posting on wattpad" 😓 which is already how i felt about it but whatever. post and move on. i (probably) won't repost/edit since that's more work that no one's paying me for, and it (probably) isn't as bad as my perfectionist monkey brain feels. anyway this isn't about being emo it's my precursor to admitting that there's a good chance i went off script bc i refused to look super close at my own goddamn source material/notes and decided winging it was better out of a mixture of laziness and pride at the cost of tighter consistency/characterization

[amagicdoctor]

we are at a point in time where the main xmen plot (sinister doing bad) has only come to be not through logic but through sheer stupidity. if you didn't know, sinister is actually a mutate, which shouldn't have made him able to go through the portals so he placed an x-gene into him using a dead xmen's dna. he's not only responsible for war crimes on humans but also on mutants (the morlock massacre). why is he even in the QC? ... his tech cloning. that's it. then he did nothing for nearly 3 years

😂😂oh my GOD y'all. I know you're not joking but these asks make me laugh every time. Unfortunately I'm probably not gonna read this series but the way y'all talk about it is too funny 😭

Just read through somebody's summary of things related to Sinister (and I saw a clip of him from the animated series last week) so I do have a.. kinda better understanding of him as a character?? I sorta knew he wasn't a mutant, but hey, that never stopped anybody 😂😂. He just wants to be where all the action and drama is, that's all! Krakoa is LITERALLY where it's happening and he's a scientist!! Why would his crazy self not want to start crap there? If he happens to cause harm along the way then so be it😭😭🙈🤦🏾‍♂️

So far I only don't like him because he did that thing to Kurt in LOX and I thought that was mean :(

Also all his scenes circling around the fandom is just mass death this, gore that, so I'm avoiding this new series off of the feeling that it may follow the same formula 😓

[paint-music-with-me]

so i just finished 55:15 and wanted to scream about my feelings and searched the tag just to find your posts <3 and gosh omg the last episode made me a complete mess and rightfully so! bomb and jenny really set the bar for a good agegap ships and paul made me weep like anything with the letter and the quote! thep really could disappear at any point in the story and i would have cared less!! jaya had the MOST growth and im here for her Diva journey lol. all in all 8/10

-end rant-

omg im so sorry for the lateness of this reply 😓

i am so happy that you enjoyed the show! tbh im sad that not a lot of people have seen this show bc it's genuinely sweet and well-meaning even if there were some bumps in the road - so i totally agree with your rating. also yes, going onto the tag just to find my posts .... most of them probably my posts! AAHHH i didn't realize that i flooded the tag!! i just have a ton of things to say AAHHHH

anywayyy yess that last ep is probs my favorite ep - bomb and jenny are just valid through and through, they are my ride or die (ouch - too soon??) ksdjfalksjfae lowkey tho i felt bad that i could NEVER remember bomb's name nor his occupation, i really thought for a hot second he was a cop 😬

paul is my favorite character - his arc is everything to me! i love the ending he had even though it put me through the wringer like it's the right path for him - like it really asked "should you do what's right or what makes you happy?" omgg can we talk about khaotung and phawin's chemistry thoughh?? like how dare they have chemistry but CAN'T NOR SHOULD BE TOGETHER AS THIS SHOW'S PAIRING AAHHH *death glares GMMTV*

thep?? ifawef;woief I ONLY KNOW HIS WIFE AND HIS SON. I ONLY CARED ABT THEM - deadass, i would watch their scenes and be like "i can be a better father than him - even if i became 15 YO again" dkf;awiefaw;eij i mean thep pulled thru in the end but i think it's bc i got distracted with 😍Marc😍 (i am not ashamed)

omg jaya had the most interesting character growth bc like i love her as a diva but she also grated on my older-sibling nerves like girllll get your shit togetherr and brush your teeth! is it bad that everytime i saw jaya and that popstar together i'd be like 👀 eh lesbian?? 👀 but alas noooo that cannot nor should happen. at all. though im glad she didn't have a romantic storyline too but omg i wish there were more moments btwn her and paul bc they are the ultimate chaotic duo!

djfoaiefwef i love how you don't mention San like sameee ifjaefief i only tolerated his scenes bc of 😍Prim😍 and that he was played by 😍Nanon😍 l;dkfaoeife that was it....

but yesss love your energy and feelings about this show! it was so fun to watch, even when it made me cry omgggg thanks for reaching out to me! :D <3 (again sorry for the really late reply ❤❤❤)

[violadiaries]

So I'm not only rambling again, have a WIP for a Christmas GuyLeo (it's the shipname variation I've found the most with so far, so I'm sticking with it xD) fic I'm writing on my phone (hopefully my lazy ass will finish it in time)

(none of those idk how many things on my tablet 😅)

So yeah, ramblings under the cut, cause I'm completely emotionally charged rn, and my emotions are riding roller coaster...

Ok so fuck, like I said my emotions are riding roller coaster rn, like this afternoon I was so fucking depressed and now I'm bouncing with energy, I need to get rid of some

And I'm filled with ship thoughts, cause idk Leon and Guy have control rn, but there was a Golkai post in their pixiv tag and I just (๑♡⌓♡๑) and then the vol. 2 of the tob manga I ordered fucking finally arrived and there is Zaveid and Eizen and the sexual tension between them (sry the shipper goggles are stuck) and that hit me with Eizavie feels and then I'm playing Fire Emblem atm and like...yeah feels 😅 but mostly the first three,

But then during the day I remember that I'll probably fail my exams in January, cause I get so distracted during university, cause online shit cause the bad c virus is still going strong, and then I get all depressed again 😓

So I'll distract myself by writing fanfiction or reading fanfiction, btw is anyone else so fucking bad at writing smut scenes but still wants to incorporate them, cause I so suck at that, help 😂, if anyone got any tips pls give them to me, but anyway so I'll distract myself by not doing any coursework, lagging behind even more and it's like vicious cycle and that sucks ass

And don't get me started looking at ship art, like there is so much gorgeous GolKai, Eizavie and Sylvix (Fe3h) out there (not GuyLeo which sucks) and my lonely ass just craves something like that or just...like some sort of affection but my anxiety is like 'nope bish u suck, be lonely' which...sucks...😓

Oh and then those nice 15 inbox comments on my AO3 I don't know how to answer cause I suck at communication, and one is almost over a hundred days old I think...•́ ‿ ,•̀ Like...fuck...they give me so much joy and I want to let the commenters know, but I don't want to come on to strong and drive people away... (＠_＠;)

Oh and my heart is beating like crazy and I don't think that's healthy but I don't know...xD it just does that (and hurts but that's only when I'm browsing through some of my 3 big otps (well browsing through two, cause there is almost now GuyLeo) or when I'm panicking) sometimes...😂 And then I get all shaky xD

Welp I think that's enough out of me, I'll go and watch Netflix till I'm to tired to pay attention anymore...xD for anyone still reading, have a nice day/evening and bye~

(oh and maybe let me know how you liked that WIP up there, if you read it and only if you want of course, and maybe idk leave some inspiration if you want (◕ᴗ◕✿) )

[wolfflock]

Reactions to Superman and Lois S01E14

OH GOD I AM FINALLY WATCHING THIS. Everyone said it's an emotional one and I am SO HERE FOR IT

Okay, so we left off with Edge shooting out into space to become the Eradicator.

Fast forward 3 weeks — are we going to find out what happened in those days? Domestic Kents is lovely but... 3 weeks.

Open house? And Clark surprised? Guess he's not that so close to Lana anymore...?

Jordan and Sarah getting serious... at 14. I'm sure saying it the 38th time to make "responsible choices" is not gonna help, but as parents they probably can't help it, have to repeat it once hundred times more.

Jon working with John Henry! Yes! (And also, yes to him not being a chaperone. Honestly, they are twins and the same age, I bet he would just go outside if Jordan would want to hit it up with Sarah... instead of stopping them or something. He loves his brother and if Sarah makes him happy, he will not interfere.)

"You're making too much sense" 😂😂 That is a parent who can't even pretend to argue anymore. Love dad Clark 🥺

Whoops, Sam is upset and this time rightfully so. He just can't seem to do the right thing, whether it is protecting Smallville or keeping Clark's secret.

Lana is Clark's best friend yet they haven't talked in a while. In a small town. I feel like this is a bit forced, even if they don't talk daily, they would run into each other more. Lois said 4 small businesses closed down. The number of shops in Smallville is shrinking, slowly it'll be one store, and that way you can't avoid people lol

Jordan is too cute, all hearteyes. And Sarah knowing what he meant, aww!

I wish we could see more of Wolé. He's really good in this role. Even if John Henry was just a dick to Jon, sending him off to bit bother him 😢

And Chrissy is selling the Gazette 😭

WAIT has Edge been in space for 3 WEEKS? The fuck...? 😅

Clois moment, aw yiss 😍

I like Kyle and Lana. I want them to be happy 🥺

Okay, the football dudes were nice, I just feel bad about everyone shitting on the Cushings.

I like that Lois and Sam finally gave some details to the people.

Uh oh. Derek Powell's mother and her proof. 😓

Aww Tamera supporting Kyle is nice. A tad late, but at least he got a referral and her support.

Oiiii. "You have no idea what it's like to lose a child." Well, Lois does. And yay for showing Clark's face, too, because it wasn't only Lois who lost Natalie, they both went through it.

Edge and Larr in Metropolis. Like in John Henry's Earth.

Jon and Jordan are 14. "Grab a drink." Damn, starting early. And Jordan not answering General Lane. Oops.

The Cushings are not leaving? Yay!

Fuck, they are leaving. 😭 And Sarah flipping out, damn, girl! Ripping the parents a new one.

IT IS STARTING, YUUUSSS. New Kryptonians. And Lois will report on it ahdghahajahdjau

"Telling me after doesn't help" JOHN 🤣😂

Clark has more stubble in this scene as Superman, and I can't focus on anything but the fact that his facial hair changed when he put the suit on 😂

The hammer is offline! 😱

That is a huge party these 14-year-olds are having. In other movies this is what a college party looks like, not a bunch of kids who just started high school.

TELL HER, JON. She tried to get information out of you. She moved from Central City, her dad is in prison 👀

LOIS IS STANDING EXACTLY WHERE SHE WAS KILLED IN JOHN HENRY'S VIDEO. AND HE SAVED HER!

And Edge is gone. Again. 😬

Big love confessions. And swearing to do long distance. At 14 😬

Shit, car accident. And Jon's right arm is injured again.

And Edge took Jordan. Finally getting exciting.

He's making Jordan the Eradicator or what? Nooooo, it is god damn Zeta-Rho 😂😂😂😂 I was hoping we would not have to hear from him ever again.

[jojotichakorn]

Attempt at an ask #2😤:

First of all, I have no ideas on how they will handle the main conflict. So I cannot really comment on that. However, what I like about this solution is that it offers a way for both PatPran & the plot to bounce back from previous events. I’m talking about my beloved “recovery time.” 💖 (I ranted on @piningbisexuals YouTube page about this just today. That most BLs don’t create time in the plot for characters [or couples for that matter] to heal from the damage the inevitable setbacks inflicted on them: whether it’s nearly dying, toxic parents and their idiotic feud or being haunted by your dead gay “relative”… 💀 So I am very glad that PatPran on the one hand get a private getaway where they can be a cute, happy, “normal” couple for once, unhindered by secrecy. Yet at the same get the opportunity to talk about all they have been through during the past couple of episodes. I just hate that in many BLs there’s this major drama in episode 11 and TADA, everything is rainbows and smiles and “happily ever after otp” in episode 12. 😓)

Similarly, this “early intervention” gives the plot the chance to tie up some loose ends. Idk of WaiKorn will really be a thing at this point, but InkPa definitely is, and maybe Louis and Safe really are “more than friends.” 🤭 Apart from that there’s the Wai situation (maybe operanon’s theory about Wai’s compensation tactics was a bit too ambitious, but I can’t help but think there must be something else said about this right? even if it was just about the outing of queer characters -> a learning opportunity for Wai -> bc objectively speaking for a character that was previously referred to as “simply a bad person,” he really got a better treatment in this episode -> so no redemption but at least an reputation boost 🤔), and the merger of the friend groups. So far, each group seems on good terms with Pat/ Pran individually. But it’s not like they’re “1 happy family”… And I am convinced that one scene in the intro will become a scene in the actual show, so something’s gotta give. (Also, I imagine PatPran’s parents won’t be the only ones worrying if PatPran does a runner all of a sudden. 😉)

Okay, that was all for now. ✌️

Love,

— Thel. 💚

heyyy thel!!

i was actually recently discussing the whole recovery period and penultimate episode/finale thing with two of my dear friends, and though i agree with everything you said about the recovery, i disagree with the episode 12 thing. i don't remember the last time the finale of a drama wasn't, well, incredibly dramatic, and not to spoil anything specific but looking both at p'aof's past works and the past works of the screenwriters, they do love to pull a very last-minute ending of angst. the issue isn't even that they don't get a recovery period, but that we get so wrapped up in drama and angst that we only get to see them happy for 3 seconds at the very end. i hope bad buddy finally subverts that.

in connection with them subverting that and indeed tying up the loose ends, i do hope the wai things gets addressed once again. and you are right, the friends will be getting together at some point, which doesn't really fit into the narrative much at the moment, so that's interesting. louis and safe seem more like a headcanon than anything, but waikorn i feel are being set up, though very lightly. inkpa are obviously canon. honestly, i find it so interesting how much stuff is kind of hanging in the air rn. maybe the parents issue will be dealt with earlier than we supposed. we shall see though.
