sighs... TA the old guard au where the second titanomachy happened in ancient times and the demigods who survived the retributive post-war manhunt are cursed to never die by injury and sickness - up until a random unknown time when Thanatos is allowed to take them. basically they live as mortals (i.e. sleep, eat) and never know which fatal injury will be forever their last.
more tidbits about this au in my head:
the original core group was silena, chris, lee, lou ellen, al, and ethan. they dont know if there are any more of them out there, but in any case, they initially travelled together.
chris was the first one to strike out when he saw that the group was seriously considering reinstigating a third titanomachy; he was only loyal to luke and even then that began to fray when luke was getting too controlled by kronos; eventually reconnected with clarisse, who got promoted to being a minor god (or a constellation, idk just some lower form of immortality) after the war
silena left when she fell in love with a mortal (beckendorf), who coincidentally served in one of clarisse's temples. chrisse/charlena polycule U R REAL TO ME! but tragically, beckendorf died and now silena travels the world looking for his reincarnations. [whispers] chris and silena foils...
lee tried to keep the group together after that, but al was furious that the group had given up on revenge and took lou ellen with him
while they're facing off against an enemy magic user, lou ellen tanked a spell to buy al some time for the needed incantation, thinking that she was going to recover. spoiler: she did not, and they all felt it when she passed in al's arms. and that's how they discovered that any fatal injury could be their last, and they would never know when it wouldbe
ethan is the most do-good immortal among them, he's depressed as fuck but he will use what little energy he has towards helping demigod strays esp unclaimed kids towards a safe place. he's welcomed and remembered very fondly in rogue spaces
fast forward millennia later, the gods are no longer as involved with the mortal world - kind of like a silent era
if there is to be a fic about this two things would set the plot in progress: 1) luke's reincarnation suddenly starts recovering real quick from injuries, and 2) lee turns the gang in... to whom, i havent decided yet between a) a mortal pharma company, like in the movie, or b) some weakened deity that promises him he can end lee's life for some ulterior motive
#tagging this as#ta old guard au#titan army#lee fletcher#lou ellen blackstone#ethan nakamura#silena beauregard#chris rodriguez#alabaster torrington#luke castellan#this would be a good fic series lol

Loz fandom stop being angsty and give the daydreaming kids on big fun adventures with a cool glowing sword some actual whimsy and joy challenge
#It's like the happy media equals angsty fandom and vice versa but like. Video game series about the dreams and adventures of childhood with#A fandom full of angst and abandonment and depression and smut#It's why I don't really stay in the loz fandom long each time I circle back around#There's so much potential for good things and comfort and snuggly warmth and lightheartedness.#Like yeah messed up things happen in front of and to link but kids are resilient beasts and most importantly they fix it#He's literally wearing the Peter pan hat to invoke that sort of eternal wonder that's the DESIGN of the hat that's why it's so identifiable#Fanart captures it a lot. The gorgeous landscapes and quiet moments and dappled sunlight#But fics???? Oh lu fics are just full of miscommunication and resentment and sour interactions and pain and simmering anger#I prefer to read trusted authors because it's so wearing but the problem is you have to go out and find them lol#It's a very controversial belief of mine that every link enjoyed their adventure even if it was scary or sad and would not be averse to#Another. Oh the circumstances they might hate. But link has never been one to refuse the call#That's the POINT they stepped up when the adults couldn't it's their COURAGE that they'd be fastest to volunteer.#Unrelated but post game botk is adhd central you can do literally whatever you want and whatever pace and you just drift around getting#Distracted and teleporting all over and setting challenges and poking around every nook and cranny#Like botw I had over 300 koroks and 98% map completion. I maxed out hero's path twice over. Totk I've just been wandering around#Speed farming lynels like 17 different goals drifting from one to the other as I wish. Still missing the last 2 sage orbs NO idea where#There's like a million hinoxs now tf#loz#legend of zelda#lu#linked universe#ao3

hi guys i don't read much fanfiction but i read my mutual's gijinka fic And They Were Roommates and it was good and you guys should read it, i also thought i should show my appreciation by depicting my favorite moments artistically (i took a few creative liberties okay)
number one the glitter incident:
number two the sparring incident:
and finally number three the parmesan incident:
all gijinka designs by the fic author, @starsh0cked (i did my best lol)
#kirby#fanfic#kirby fanfic#lrblev art#sketch#comic#magolor#taranza#susie haltmann#taranza: “i take commissions!” magolor: “good then that will cover your hospital bills”#i actually finished reading the fic a while ago and almost sent you a message but i thought this would be a funnier way to tell you#anyway yeah good work! a tasty treat for kirby fans everywhere!#you're a great writer. also you made me learn what “blanched” means when its outside a cookbook. that was a big day for me#i dont have an ao3 account but consider this my “kudos”#ps: sorta if youre reading this i do have some “artistic depictions” planned for your series as well lol

This is what I get for pantsing all my stories, I am having to figure out, as I write, when Brian actually died lol. Because in IIAB he's still around in like chapter 5, he's not in the chapter but he's not dead yet, so I'm not having to write my way around that since I'm having Tim think about the fact that he's dead. I was thinking he 'died' during shooting of Alex's MH, like in the actual series, but that doesn't fucking work so I'm having to make up my own shit 💀
I just decided that everything in their friend group fell apart at pretty much the exact same time. Jay and Alex's FWB relationship ending is around about the time when all the main murders happened. They weren't caused by it ending, I'm just having to make them happen around the same time so I don't write myself into even more of a plot hole 💀
Aren't I clever? Isn't it great that the story of this series is just cobbled together so completely at random? I just write shit and don't think about how they could impact the story at large, I just go "Yeah that sounds cool :D" and then later on I glare at my past self while I try to make it work lmao
#hooray for another snippet though. It's not the perfect fix for this little plot hole but it's good enough for me 💀 for now at least lol#writing is hard#writing wip#marble hornets#marble hornets fanfic#jay merrick#tim wright#mh jam#mh sorry its locked#fic/series rated e on ao3#in case anyone would prefer not to read that

gaining a new interest/joining a new fandom is always kind of intimidating it feels like there’s so much you’ve missed out on by not enjoying this thing before so you’re like GRAHHHH got to catch up so I can have peak enjoyment like all the Enjoying This Thing experts around here! which is so silly bc if you enjoy a thing you’re already there but. yknow
#like when I got into hockey I was like studying all the rules and terms and players and team history and stuff#so I could be able to talk with other fans and understand everything#and like when I got into ml and owl house it was like ooh gotta binge watch all the eps#gotta see what the fandom vibes are and read the good kush fics and find a group of friends to brainrot with#and now w zelda it’s like#woof#there are so many games spanning decades!!! and I only have a switch so I can’t even play most of them lol#and the lore is fascinating but sometimes convoluted and confusing lol#bro the timeline. help#it’s just a lot of info and stuff to consume djdjdk#and im brainrotting so hard so part of me wants to find a loz discord server or soemthing l#but I feel like i would not be able to be on equal footing discussion wise bc I have only played a few of the games#it’s cool tho i have one irl friend who’s very excited abt me getting into her fav series haha#and I’m enjoying seeing people’s art and stuff#and making my little doodles#ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ <- me having a good little time being bad at gaming and obsessed with a tragic blond boy yet AGAIN#mine

Not art but I just added another part to my modern AU series so I thought I’d make a proper post for it. Happy reading! 💕
Let’s Get Married
Tags: Mature, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Fluff, Marriage Proposals
Summary:
Sometimes it amazed him just how much he truly loved him, all parts of him. He loved Achilles with his entire heart, with every fiber of his being. And as he takes in the sight of him, still fast asleep and soaked in the early morning sun, the thought comes to him again; I want to marry him.
After three years together, Patroclus finally works up the courage to buy Achilles an engagement ring, but proposing to the love of your life isn't nearly as easy as it looks.
#tsoa#the song of achilles#patrochilles#you and i au#angie.txt#my fics#I’ve got so many drafts for this AU I’m just uploading out of order otherwise I won’t ever actually put them up#I also forgot to give other fic in this series a shout out but it’s there lol#this is good old fashioned tooth rotting fluff ❤️#oooh I’m also torn between writing a fic for their wedding night vs one for when they decide to have a baby#would that be too much smut?? is there a such thing??? lmao

woke up feeling weirdly grateful to fandom (must be pride month lol) so just wanted to toss out a big thank you to anyone who has ever read my fics. you really make me feel like i matter when i hear that my words make people happy or flaily or screaming or what have you. it honestly means the world to me knowing that people take their own free time and use it to read things i have written; given everything, i can't overstate how much this helps to heal over the big me vs. writing/publishing wounds. 💚💚💚 i had really truly considered leaving fandom the past few weeks, but i don't want to any longer, and a huge part of that is you wonderful folks for being here.
#and a huge thank you to everyone reading the monsters 'verse#because i know a huge sprawling AU is not something this fandom is necessarily excited for#especially not when i've thrown rarepairs in it#and ESPECIALLY not when one is f/f because this fandom does not love femslash often#but i'm using all my saved publishing ideas for that fic#the ideas i kept because i thought they would be good books one day#i know they won't be books now#but they WILL be part of this series#this series is my baby and i honestly love it and it's filling the void in my life now that i'm not writing books#so it's existing in a very strange spot for me at present#but a necessary one for my own healing#i get that now i see why i'm getting so emotional about the fics lol#took me awhile to realize that's what i was doing with it#it's the both the most and least self-indulgent thing i've written#which makes sense in my head just go with it#ANYWAY i know i'll write the fifth one cause it's in my head#and who knows i might need a lot more healing#and might end up writing quite a bit more#but there are certainly worse ways to work through all that publishing stuff left behind

Need to get back into my longfic series bc writing longfics is so fun (albeit stressful lol, but that’s mostly just be putting pressure on myself)… I love getting excited comments on new chapters and reading people’s theories and emotions hehe :3 And writing multiple chapters gives me more motivation to keep writing… hm
#I’ve attempted to write the first chapter of different parts of the series multiple times and I just Can’t#once I get a good first scene or two then I’ll commit to the rest#it will happen… eventually#ALSO my DREAM is for someone to love my fic enough to bind it#(<- guy who spends way too long scrolling through and fawning over Renegade Binding posts)#I would love to get into bookbinding/fanbinding myself but I don’t wanna spend a bunch on materials. maybe someday I will commit#ANYWAY sorry this just got rambly. tldr I want to write more longfics so people can love and cherish them. yay#but also so I can be motivated to keep writing lol#chalcy stuff

also it's something (better) like, the exercise of deliberately [art imitates life imitates art] holding up Billions to My IRL Things Perspective and going like whaaat would i want for winston. first answer is you want any character to not have been within the scope of the show in the first place, and to exit it since they are. and you kind of get that in the accidental reward in banishing winston, since like in the end it's just that the show doesn't care about him existing at that point But like it's winston sitting there quietly as everyone leaves & turns out the lights & Then he can leave too; others have peaced out & nobody remembers he exists so Now he can go off & do whatever.
but like in true form i think they definitely accidentally baked in another divine reward for winston in that, like, the way he's kept around as fodder for these fun little [pov: enjoy abusing this guy] asides with him, where it Just So Happens that he's autistic as something they're unaware of but is completely relevant to the expectation we understand him to be inferior(tm), it Just So Happens that he's also ""bad"" at not ""causing"" abuse to be turned on him. he's ""bad"" at staying in line. like well yes Yes that's what i want for him. just like In Real Life it's like yeah Ideally i'd want people to be able to extricate themselves from where they're trapped in power structures & i'd want them to have the perspective about it of understanding they're not Inferior / i.e. they are as much a person as anyone else and they're not corrupting everything good / i.e. it wasn't them Bringing It Upon Themselves and it's not them being Destructive by toppling a jenga tower of a hierarchy that happened to be pressing down on them. and winston is the kind of [the ruinerrrrrr] who is Turned On exactly because he keeps acting like someone who's on the verge of breaking out of the [being in line] someone demands of him as autist, employee, whatever other supposed manifestations of [inferior]
like in the 5 second stretches in which winston's allowed to speak before retaliation, it's because he's like "matter of factly" delivering whatever Information that's useful for another plotline. then he Brings It Upon Himself by making people aware that he's Also existing in his own right as a person rather than what they think serves their own deal / what they want from him at all times, perhaps by expressing his personality (didn't appeal to them! so it was Wrong) or not b/c of anything in particular said or done at present, just b/c people have a constant / accumulating contempt for him so their being in the same room as him & able to see & hear him is already dangerous. the [we're just seeing Any Abusive Dynamic in action] continuing apace.
and it's like, well, right there. he's written as acting like someone who doesn't blame himself for how he's treated, which billions frames as being Rude & Mean, and so too does everyone's abusers lmfao like and that these are his moments that are written to be Bringing It Upon Himself. and it's like hell yeah he doesn't blame himself. hell yeah that his self-esteem can manifest as anger at all. hell yeah that he keeps expressing himself with personality & confidence & doesn't even disguise his having been hurt, & it's this [his ass is Not grey rocking] that billions frames as both him "causing" his abuse & making that abuse "successful" lol, wrow just like real life!! and when like speaking of real life yeah it's not "bad" that people Do engage in strategies to mitigate & survive, including things like blaming themselves or being too "boring" to be anything but a non dialogued background character b/c that's all that goes unpunished, it's bad b/c it's done to them at all, not [ohh they're doing it to themselvesss] and like i'm asking myself like Ideally. what do i want Ideally. and i'd want winston to know that it's being Done To Him & i'd want him to find as much room for his personhood & autonomy as possible. and that's basically how he's written anyways, and billions hates that like You See this is why he deserves it this is why he's doing it to himself. and i'm like my god if that's not Inspiration for like "so what if people don't find you Personally Likable" and not preemptively holding back all personality or anything that'd draw attention as if you exist as a person in your own right & not something that only either gets in the way of or serves their wants of a Real person (someone with more power) like hell yeah you have him out here doing it =']
another fun addendum is like, billions isn't getting into it much b/c it doesn't seem to care much about "what if some people were peers & seem to have a genuine, recipcrocal relationship?" but that it just so happened to be like "oh tuk as the next closest loser who deserves it might be nice to winston" while it's framing winston as the "worse" Loser as being....unconditionally supportive of tuk. while the one downside of billions Also giving bentuk as much as it is is that it also inevitably has that shadow of "but ben is Superior to tuk" and like that it's correct that everyone encourages tuk to Stop Bringing It Upon Himself and start being less of a loser; it's wrong for winston to be like hey let's go have a foursome. like yeah probably don't make a list of the women you work with you'd be dtf but it's not like i'm convinced "ah billions and it's strong anti misogyny stance like" roflmao and billions is Not reflecting on "the downsides of unconditional support?" there when winston was beaten up for criticising taylor earlier like we WILL take his ideas while looting his [beaten unconscious] body there but he WAS wrong to express them as though he's BETTER than taylor!!! mafee's beautiful show of loyalty in kicking his ass even when he might agree with the argument and then benefit when it's adopted by taylor anyways! so it's as usual actually purely based on hierarchy & who gets to be in charge of people. it's correct for ben to be in charge of tuk, unless he has to step aside for that bizarre dead-end subplot about how it's tuk's fault if he's treated badly, b/c it's really his own Failure to have Confidence to know he has good ideas [raising our voice to deliver this message over the sound of breaking desks and chairs and computer monitors over winston because he had the confidence to act like he deserved to talk to someone and because he knows his ideas efforts & results are good & valuable around there] like. and isn't it sooo fucked up to talk about who you're dtf in the episode that has it be neutral if your boss is dtf & lets you know but is nice about it (and you're already Correctly tending to their ego, which you're responsible for!) like hey no possible problem! it's not even so much of a problem for a boss man to have the sex they're entitled to & be rude about their leveraging their power in that acquisition that it Stays a problem into the next season. ew, winston is Known (Inferred) Dtf??? we'll use it to exploit His vulnerability, exacerbate it, & punish him further for good measure in another episode that just revels in abuse & violation with a sexual aspect once again, but like, hey tuk don't do that, winston's such a Bad Influence for being like, shrug, kneejerk intervening with the Good Friendship where the One In Charge leaps in & Tells tuk the Correct thing to do. obviously there's also the tragedy that billions will Never let winston push back against Real Winners like rian or taylor in A Way That Matters (actually gets in their way at all) lol like. one thing that would have really been fun, winston should've literal kneejerk started physically fighting wags in either pertinent scene in 7x03 for real 110%. i wouldn't be like Gasp Violence Is Never The Answer if he just hit someone to hit them b/c fuck you. or broke anything on his way out etc etc. billions would Never let him. which is the other side of the same coin of [why he should get to]
tl;dr how great that winston's being "out of line" means he's basically always noticeably flouting & rebelling against the [He Deserves Abuse] agenda lol. that IS what i want. his being "beyond hope" like ohhh he's sooo stupid he doesn't realize how much he has the bad tastes & wrong interests & annoying personality He Will Always Be This Way like hell yeah!!! billions like oh no winston's personhood will never stay tamped down & locked away such that some godawful person tolerates keeping him in their inventory :( ohhh the ABA will never work :( that's right!!!!!!!!!! although they're not sad about it because it's about relishing the promise there will always be True Inferiors you can enjoy abusing with your righteous power over, but like well you wrote him escaping anyways even while dragging other "better" characters into standing around to serve axe's need for more than 1.8 employees and [crickets, reverberating cough, sneaker scuff] like. another ""wrong"" thing for winston to do, another thing for him to not "deserve," which is itself godawful actually lol like lord what it "rewards" its Good, Deserving characters with, no thanks. meanwhile winston's punishment is that he's autistic and """bad""" at being abused like lmfao good for him, fantastic for him, just what i want
#winston billions#a series that did inadvertently power up the stances of someone who actually is Not a fan of ableism; abuse; authoritarianism; and cetera#real winston billions fans might also get written off the series into the ether....but hey. the power up#the ''i saw the autistic character. i saw the tour de force'' was there & it mattered#myself marked glad to be A Ruinerrrrr; to like be present where other people might be aware & even say & do things & [my personality]#throw it back to the last post like my experience going hahaha >:) but you made one mistake. decade old minivan in my name#enough to Get Outta There....but that naturally if it Wasn't that Would be an avenue of punishing / reeling people back in#hey you Stole this from me. hey winston that's Stolen Time and stolen data who give a shit. it's the principle of [we own winston]#my experience also indeed getting ''''worse'''' at being abused lmao i.e. more conflict & resentment as i was increasingly aware i didn't#deserve it. no thanks to much of anything i learned in; say; interacting with others as an autistic person lmao. hmm!#meanwhile even if exploring like Winston Having Fun Being Himself it's like one thing is just. never having the Site of that be like#first & foremost An Romance lol. like even if it's like sure someone could interpret this as romantic that's like; an extra thing#and it's not The Guideline like; not thinking that for winston to be okay he Needs to get on the soulmate track#(billions does think that lol) and like. while billions says winston Has dated (i do think they meant to imply Multiple Times in 5x05#i just think we see that they usually don't care oh so much abt continuity; certainly not across the board) & that he has a crush#like then uhh yeah sure it's like. well i can readily extrapolate then that he's had abusive dating relationships.#billions does Not put forth that someone treating winston Well is where he gets the bulletproof confidence or anything lol#just cursed like again i'm not. i'm not gonna accept [wild you dropped steph into our Visuals as like 1 Confirmed Winston Ex]#but it's also like well then any Depiction would be The Perspective....not like. the abuse currently happening & in any way that is meant#to be ''''obvious'''' & ''''convincing'''' to someone w/no idea what it looks like anyways. vs the mundane ordinary parts that speak to it#or just the ways that experience & concomitant perspective could manifest outside of it even with No look inside it#running into issues like [good thing riawin didn't even hook up or that'd be More vulnerability in an abusive relationship already]#but what if they did & Montage Of Malaise? well to even brush up against inevitable more ''blatant'' things would then either be like#well immediately move Away from that then. before or after but Exit the [current] situation. Or it'd be like. rian has to Reconsider#but a) the character absolutely does not & based on everything will not. & b) if she actually Does; e.g. in a fic. well it's about her now#but i can think of ''yeah maybe winstuk fic that is also framed with bentuk b/c it's not really about Romance & if it's like sure then why#Not presume winston has experiences w/abuse & violation aplenty b/c that's the full context for the character lol it's then still like#and here's little details in which that could Manifest that would just be [??] or unnoticed to others anyways. just like real life!!''

Sometimes I come up with truly banger headcanons / ideas but I'm saving them for a project so you don't get to hear about them for a long time (or ever if I don't get around to finishing it or you don't read my fics) and that's very sad.
But I shan't kneecap my projects by killing half the novelty in them so it is what it is.
#you guys would be frothing at the mouth if you knew what I just came up with for Aiura..... but that's a very long term project rip.#fic vagueposting#not *rly* fic actually but close enough. not making another tag lol.#I don't think this kind of protectiveness over ideas is necessary for most ppl btw but my posts are shared widely enough that I can#reasonably expect that a good chunk of my readership will see them + I write real slow so genuinely some people will have forgotten the post#but not the content by the time the fic comes out and think it's referencing a part of the series instead of being my invention hsfjdlshfks#my besties on discord get to hear the deets but they also have to withstand some truly unhinged infodumps so that has its own perils#I guess sometimes the reverse also happens where I'm straight up referencing canon and ppl think I made that up hsfjdlshfks#nopsi nonsense

so - sometimes writing's just the thing you want to do, I guess? and then things like this happen lol.
--------------------------------
Amore, he thinks, tilting his head up to catch the little light left. One night with you would heal me for a hundred years.
But no - it wouldn't, because he'd always yearn for more; one night would leave him fighting for the chance to live again at his side.
Abruptly, his mind stalls. Live? Live.
Oh.
He wants to live. He wants to - he wants to stay. Not just for Will, but for himself; maybe one day he can even go visit Palermo again without a deathly quest on his tail -
He wants to live.
Somehow that's a Development that's happened.
It's like a tidal wave crashing over him, the slip of a log into the flame. Something both earthshattering, and completely normal at the same time. Unbidden, his heart swells. He looks over again at the other side of the pillow.
The shadow of the window catches those golden curls, highlighting the brown in them, brown like copper glinting on the ocean bed.
Oh, amore mio - I'll take you to see Palermo one day, and maybe then you'll understand a sliver of the beauty I see when I look at you.
my writing directory if that's a thing you feel like checking
#three guesses on who these characters are#good days and bad days#hey there's this one fic series I read about palermo..... it was AMAZING#pjo fic#somehow these sorts of scenes just come very easily to me#I don't think this is part of my long fic? if it were then that fic would need to be MILES long to get to this point lol#I'll add my writing dir later#solangelo fic#I love writing them#I really do#nico di angelo#will solace

youre so right about narration!! i could go on all day really, its the biggest thing for me that takes a fic from good to great, especially with characters like j- characters with a persona of sorts, characters that lie to themselves or are in denial, or characters with a lot they need to sort through, and j is sort of all three in some capacity. i cannot wait for hostile takeover to update! if you ever decide to try writing a fic id love to give it a read! ive noticed you have a lot of interesting ideas about characters and their dynamics through your fanart, something i think could translate to writing well. you also clearly have an understanding of what makes a fic good- though i know from experience its often easier said than done. still, id love to see you try! this is actually my first time rp-ing canon characters, ever. right now im playing j (thanks hostile takeover) in a discord server, though i might try n soon because i reaaallly struggle with characterizing him. ive been roleplaying my whole life really! i started with roblox warrior cats though... im shuddering with you id kill for more dollxn art from you though. no pressure but you get them it seems. its been a while since i listened to final girl but its definitely their song suggestive lyrics or not i hope they die and go to robo-hell together <3 - juzi anon
*sigh* putting this under a readmore because HOO BOY did I maybe went full analyzer on this one. thanks for your time Juzi Anon <3
I've read alotta fics in my time on the internet and honestly? I don't think I've ever read a fic that hooked me on a character narration quite like Hostile Takeover's J. J's awareness of every part of what shes doing and how shes doing it makes it even more subtle when you realize that despite all of that, she has so little awareness over what she thinks. Like she doesn't question it. Uzi's narration makes a point to show how she censors her own thoughts, she doesn't allow her mind to wander to certain parts of the past, shes completely aware of how some thoughts sound and decides against saying it all together. Meanwhile, J will go on and on about how much better the job would be without V's constant talking back and N's inability to do anything right, and in the same paragraph be constantly thinking about the argument with V, and what got V so messed up to begin with. J is like a rock, a precipice of confidence. But the moments where she doesn't know what to do, (like when she thought she was going to die in that church tower from the rising sun) its almost like she has to put on appearances even in a moment where shes completely panic-ed, that she still somehow has to pretend she knows what shes doing, even with no one around. Its why the fic made me rethink J in general, I've loved J for while but Hostile Takeover was the first time I actually was able to SEE what J could be as a character story. It really puts into perspective how important narration can be in telling a damn good story. (Sorry this became a J paragraph. I could analyze fics for the rest of my life and be happy lol)
Haha maybe one day I'll finally sit down and write. I'm not really the greatest at translating my thoughts to text, for some reason its easier for me to illustrate my feelings about a character then to write it out. The only reason I can draw fanart like that is because I analyze these characters to death lol. Looking at all the angles of two characters and then asking the question of 'what would it take for them to be on friendly terms' is a pass time I indulge it frequently!!!! Thats why I like rarepairs, sometimes they're dynamics are alot more unique than most, even if they're 2 characters that have never once canonically interacted (which is my favorite. Alot more creative thinking with that one yknow?) Still, maybe I'll get to it :O (prolly would practice writing analysis post first. because I always have to stop myself from doing it on other posts XP)
I've also grew up on roleplaying (my brother is into roleplaying and that got me started on it lol) used to roleplay on roblox even before I could read (which. isn't a joke actually. who gives a 5 year old unrestricted internet access???) funnily enough I can't even say I ever completely grew out of it, I still visit alot of roleplay maps on roblox (including WCUE!! never actually roleplayed there but I think its fun to spec) but mainly I used to roleplay on animal-based mmos like FeralHeart in my younger days.
Iffff,,, I could say anything about N's character,,, to hopefully help inspire some ability to write him (and sorry this gets its own paragraph) I would probably say that he is a very self-destructively selfless person, whos never gotten over anything or anyone in his life (I.e when V was in stasis during their time in the manor, N constantly visited her and would draw pictures of the two of them together ((as lizards)) and is kinda implied to have been reading books to her during this time. Even after getting 'digitally lobotomized', while N couldn't exactly remember V as he knew her back then, he still carried that affection he had for her all that time ago. He never stopped caring about V, even when he forgot) while I wouldn't describe N as in anyway 'innocent' or 'naive', N still has a habit of unconditionally caring about pretty much anybody lol. He had like, what, a 27 minute conversation with Uzi? And while it wasn't enough to completely convince him, it still was something that made him hesitate ("I really enjoyed our time together,"). And while I'm here (having mentioned Uzi) I would also say N is a very lonely character, seeing as he was often belittled by his peers (J) or in some cases completely ignored (V, but she had her reasons and thats a different discussion) a funny part of N's character is just how much he IS like Uzi. A person completely isolated by his kind because of how he is, who was never given an explanation as to why, why everyone is so oddly cruel to him. The biggest difference though being that N never fought it, he completely accepted getting knocked around if it meant he could stick around. It took someone else to point out how fucked his situation was to make him think twice about it. Uzi is the type of character to go down kicking screaming and punching(asterisk but thats also a different discussion), and N, despite being in such a similar place to her, isn't that kind of guy. While I wouldn't say N is the type to take everything lying down, there is something to say about just how much he is willing to take before getting angry, yknow? Overall, I think N is a very loving, loyal-to-a-fault, kinda guy, but his compassion for those around him is often times the reason he gets so tunnel-visioned in the first place (i.e causing explosions and throwing rocks and debris everywhere in a mass, angry panic, trying to go save V.) and its why he is so willing to get himself hurt in the first place. ("I really enjoyed our time together, but I can't have you shooting V with that thing.") (Or yknow, cutting his arm off, but thats alot less selfless-ness and alot more self destruction) His patience and understanding is one of his biggest strengths and somehow always the reason he gets hurt. Basically I think he need to go a lil insane as a treat.
((Oh its also good to note that his unconditional love for everyone around him is also the only reason why he has lived this far to begin with (the characters this includes: V, Uzi, AND Cyn.)))
I also think the above, is the reason why I enjoy NxDoll so much. it takes SO MUCH for him to hate someone and yet Doll did the one thing that would make him do it (hurting someone he cares about the most). I just knoooowwww if they saw eachother in that church it would've been ON. That fight would've taken out the whole god damn BUILDING. it would be two people fighting for the exact same fkcing reason!!! REVENGE!!! the horrible chain of trauma contuines with them!!! killing one will only leave the other with what remains!!!! And yet I also see them as two people who would really benefit from being on friendlier terms. Both becasue N's softness is just not something we ever see Doll treated with, and because Doll's avocation for justice might just be the thing N needs to get a god damn backbone for once and earn himself some self-appreciation.
But I also think its more fun when its enemies AND lovers.
They should make eachother worse <3
#this one got really long. I just have alot to say about these characters#Despite not being a fan-fic writer I certainly can talk like I've been writing them for years!!#Oh and I forgot to mention: I have like a shit ton of different songs for different ships or characters in murder drones.#If you like Final Girl for NxDoll#you should also listen to You're So Creepy by Ghost Town!#Its also pretty good for the vibe(tm)#funnily enough I know I have atleast seen 1 doll fanart referencing the song. due to one of lines. lol#anyway I'll stop talking hahah.#oh and if you ever DO write those fics. please let me know!!!! I would love to read them when you get around to making em :O!!!!!#You've got about the same idea as I do as to what makes a fic good so I would love to see where you take it!!!#asks#anon#Juzi Anon#character analysis#<-- adding that because jesus christ that paragraph about N really goes to show how much I think about this series.

There is nothing worse than being into a objectively niche series but it still has one part of the franchise thats considered popular at its peak and amongst its dedicated fanbase so it’s the best iteration to probably direct people towards-
Until you remember you’ve experienced most of the franchise and there’s other parts that are objectively better not only in beginner friendliness but also writing but you can’t recommend people it so easily because it’s the part that isn’t talked about enough even if it has its fans.
And the fact this happened to me twice makes me even sadder about it 💀
#meg text#Yes I’m vaguing about getter robo because what the fuck else would I be mentioning#I’m not tagging even if this post probably wouldn’t reach anywhere lol I’m just a awful tumblr user#But this is the feeling I’m being hit with because I have so much New getter brain rot all of a sudden#And most of the people I got Getter into was through arma and now I’m regretting it#I don’t like the getter series debate order because it really doesn’t matter outside of manga#and arma got me fully invested into the series#but damn if new doesn’t feel like it gets enough love and is a great starting place#this is mostly forming out of the fact I’m writing a new fic and none of my buds are reading it 💀#it’s still getting views so I can’t complain but man#I literally had one irl watch it with me so far and we aren’t even done#Also the second one was mega man but people would argue ZX isn’t a good starting point so

ron/hermione/the weasleys/etc bashing of any sort is always so extremely boring and repetitive to me in harry potter fanfic omg like no instead of dissecting and examining these flawed and interesting characters in an intriguing and/or different light u decide to stoop to turning then into shallow, barely fleshed out characters 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and 9 out of 10 times it’s so harry can be some OP, dark, usually slytherin, badass like no i’m sorry i can’t
#it’s esp even more excruciating for me when these machinations are crate simply as plot device for a drarry story like lol i’m sorry#harry would not do any of that at least not in the way these fics portray it so#notice i didn’t mention dumbledore? well he’s a right old sneaky bastard and i love fics that show him in that light but it’s incredibly#niche imo bcs there’s this fandom perspective that dumbledore would somehow be a cartoon villain like no babes this is a brilliant scheming#egotistical man if he is to fall it’s by his own doing and NAWT bcs a bunch of slytherins and harry ran him off his course#i think wrt to his early years ( and his time spent w grindelwald) it’s be so efficient to write a dumbelore w grievances abt his younger#self’s ideals and superiority and how that conflicts w his burning need to do anything for the so-called ‘greater good’ like cmon guys#i always think abt what a younger albus was like w grindelwald and i’m aware i could watch the fantastic beasts series but idk kinda iffy#abt that series for some reason lol#oh one can wish i suppose#harry potter#albus dumbeldore#gellert grindelwald#rambles#fandom#fanfic

quick i need another 1k words to add to discacc chapter 42 bc it is 13.7k words rn and there are 485.3k words posted so current chapter count would put me at 499k words
i dont wnt to be store price label 500k words i wanna be actual 500k words!!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!1
#speculation nation#discacc shit#but also i dont. wanna add unnecessary shit to this chapter lol. shame#so im gonna be juuuuuuust under 500k words for main fic#tho series. will be. uhh#like 520k words lmfaooooooooo#uhm. im right on the verge of officially making discacc a series and that's pretty wild#ive thought about side things for a While but this is like. actually making it a thing#i want to write akira's perspective for discacc chapter 5. aka some really depressing shit#i want to write more in depth about goro's friendship with wakaba. which would Also be painful#i wanna write a ryukita side story. for their relationship development. since they are such MESSES it's not just happening#that has In Theory been happening. i made a list of Events to be placed in vague spots through discacc timeline#referenced one of them in the last chapter so lol. that's Passively happening. and maybe i will capture it at some point#and of course the interlude fic (akira 3rd year content) and sequel fic (them as young adults)#i played with the idea of writing smth from mamakechi's perspective#but tbh im kinda exploring her role in the story a lot with chapter 42 and this side thing. so.#a lot of the tragedy exists in the unknowns about it all#goro not knowing for sure that she loved him. and oscillating between the good memories and the bad#unsure of which to cite for whether she loved him or not#and honestly there's stuff even im not sure about. purposefully left vague bc there is no need for it to be known.#that's just what happens when someone dies before you can really get to know them. goro will carry this for the entire rest of his life.#and just....................... man that's really not what this post was originally about huh#SIDE FICS i gottem. soon.
