a love note (and some fics)

Sometimes I wonder if there's really anything bigger out there - the universe, some kind of higher power, fate - and then I think about how extremely lucky I am that I became obsessed with a certain tv show and its characters at just the right time so that I could befriend someone who then introduced me to a particular book at exactly the right time to fall in love with those characters as well. And then, because of my need to have more of those characters, I went looking for more stories about them at exactly the right time to meet a group of people (some of them together, some of them later, but that doesn't matter) who would go on to become my friends.

There must be something, right? To bring together a group of people who live in five to seven different time zones depending on the time of year. To create my safest spaces on the internet. To share not just our love for a book and its characters, but parts of our lives with each other. To have them all wedge themselves into the soft spaces of my heart and never leave.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last two weeks, because those people conspired and collaborated to gift me a collection of 10 incredible fics for a milestone birthday (tomorrow!) - even though some of them haven't written fic for months and months, or don't write for this fandom at all anymore, or have recently been finding it hard to make words work and finish fics, or are just plain busy with other projects and life. That they took the time to find and make words for me means everything and more 💖💖

I've been absolutely overwhelmed with love these past 10 days (probably to the surprise of no one, I have cried at every single fic drop and I'm crying writing this now). So, I want to share the wonderful fics that they've written for me with you all because it's the least I can do to pay it forward and they're objectively stellar fics. If you haven't come across them already then you should definitely add them to your to read lists/open tabs/MFL. Please show my friends some love and read their work.

Yea

2012 TMNT have such big and blocky hands that they could probably grab someone by their head and fully cover it. So if they wanted to shut someone up they could probably just shove the palm of their hands into said person’s face and it would muffle their speech fairly well.

What I’m trying to say is that 2012! Raph would absolutely try to shut up Rise! Leo by grabbing his face and squeezing.

[test-url-please-ignore]

[meke57o9]

I'm back and ready to indulge in the Your Boyfriend fandom. I decided to make my y/n-sona.

Disclaimer ⚠️: I like the fandom (basically the concept and ideas of Your Boyfriend), but I do not support the artist. If you want to know why, here is a link to a Twitter account/user who will explain the recent controversy of the creator of Your Boyfriend [Your Boyfriend Creater]

Name: Jaya Newton

Gender: Female

Like: Supernatural, Documentaries, outer space, and baking.

Dislike: cliche Romance films, working at the Diner, and rude customers, and sour candy.

--------------personality--------------

First glance, Jaya is a nice, polite, and quiet girl. She tries to keep conversations to a minimum when talking to customers/strangers. She keep to herself and daydream at lot.

Once you get to know her and become a good friend of hers, She is talkative and loves to learn about her friends. She is a little bit unhinged, too. Lucy walked into the living room to see Jaya seated on the couch, eating a box of uncooked pasta. Jaya said she wanted chips but didn't want to walk to the convenience store. Or the time TK saw Jaya feeding a horde of raccoons outside the diner during their night shift. Jaya calls the horde of raccoons The Midnight Crew.

--------------Biography--------------

Jaya works at the diner as a waitress to pay for culinary art class in community college. She always wanted to be a baker since she was a young kid and planned to have her own bakery. She even makes dessert in the diner when the diner is busy, and TK can't keep up with orders.

Jaya doesn't have a good relationship with her parents, but she have a good relationship with her younger sister, Laila. They both love outer-space, but her sister focus on stars and planets rather than aliens.

Jaya loves for outer space, and supernatural obsession comes from when she believes she meets an alien as a kid. No one believes her, except Lucy.

--------------Relationship--------------

TK: Jaya considers TK as a good friend and coworker. She likes how she can be herself with him without him judging her about her obsession with aliens and supernatural.

Lucy: Jaya didn't talk with Lucy for the first few weeks when they became roommates. However, after having a rough day at work and Lucy offering Jaya a hit of her blunt. They talk for hours about weird philosophical stuff, supernatural, terriable exs, and ate two whole pizza together. Let's just say these two became best of friends. Jaya even got Lucy a job at the diner, too.

Don: Jaya doesn't talk to Don much. She says a simple greeting and goodbye when she goes to him to pay rent.

------------------------------------------

Thanks for reading. I will make a part 2 soon as possible. Part 2 will include how Jaya and Peter meet.

[joesalw]

yeah, I read some of that book about William Alwyn. Everyone involved is such a mess 😂. I can see the parallels with folklore/evermore. His mother was a witch (so you've got the sort of fairytale vibe covered). He was a bigamist who didn't bother to divorce his first wife before marrying his second (so you've got the cheating/more than one relationship at once thing covered). He had a mental breakdown (like TS claimed she was having...). He ran away to the countryside to make art (again, like TS). We know she can only normally write about boys, so when she came out with something new, she must have got the inspiration from someone else. So I'm thinking that conspiracy is not all that far-fetched. Would also explain why they chose William's name for the pseudonymous co-writer 🤔

no wonder why we loved folklore and evermore more than anything else she'd ever made, it flowed out of her when she spent time with joe in the pandemic. he influenced her to grow artistically, even she admitted that these albums included both their favourite artists who became taylor's favourite after joe suggested them. so a huge part of it is him and his family stories. like we can clearly see how she downgraded after that when staying with jack and making MIDnights. all of her rerecordings are supposedly shitty as well, now i wonder what kind of himbo music is she gonna make while staying with tk bestie

"Would you mind being a nude model for me?" (Mammon)

No smut or other shenanigans! MC is just a very tired art student who needs some anatomy practice.

>Implied relationship

Word Count: 709

GN MC (They/Them, 3rd ppov)

Mammon is quick to accept and also agrees to the time that MC chooses for them to meet up in his room. However, the anxiety sets in as soon as MC walks away to their own room for the night. 

He’s a famous model! He’s been posing nude for longer than MC’s been alive, so really there shouldn’t be any reason for him to be nervous. This is Mammon’s area of expertise, companies pay him millions for the honor of using his image. This image wasn’t even going to be seen by anyone other than him and MC. 

Yet, in the week leading up to the modeling session, Mammon began tagging along to Beel’s nightly workout and holding himself to standards even stricter than the ones given to him by the modeling agency. There were no snack runs or midnight rendezvous for some hell’s noodles. He didn’t even steal one of Asmo’s cupcakes, and ignored everyone’s complaints about him only offering protein and variety salads on his cooking day. 

When MC shows up at Mammon’s door on saturday, they immediately notice the pull of his muscles and how prominent his veins were, despite being relaxed. They drop their sketchbook on the pool table and walk out, only to come back a few minutes later with a backpack full of snacks and arms full of water bottles. Ignoring every complaint about his endurance and “industry standards”, MC refused to even pick up their pencil until Mammon drank a full water bottle and ate a cup of his favorite ramen noodles. Once he’s properly hydrated, they talk about what kind of pose he should take, MC ‘conveniently’ being turned around as Mammon strips down.

Mammon takes his bedsheets and loosely drapes them around himself, in a crude mimic of his angel form. He poses across from one of the spotlights hanging over his bed, hoping the light could give a cool halo effect. While MC was looking away again, he also made sure to stick his butt out a little bit, to make it look good. 

For all of his years working as a fashionmodel, it didn’t do much to prepare him to be an art model. Mammon is soon thankful he chose a spot near the pool table so he could lean back on it, but no matter how hard MC tries to distract him, it isn’t long before Mammon starts tapping his foot or trying to fix his hair. He wasn’t sure if it was nerves, or having been explicitly told not to move, but he was fighting the urge to get any kind of movement. Swaying, finger tapping, foot wiggling, fidgeting, flexing. Anything he can get away with. So MC comes up with a compromise- they finish his face first, so he’s free to talk and laugh as much as he wants. He takes full advantage of this by also trying to get MC to laugh, making funny faces and impressions of his brothers every time they looked up at him. 

He wins, after the first laugh MC's seriousness starts tk crack and they find it harder to focus, sketchbook half forgotten in their hands. It comes to the point that MC has to whip out their phone  and snap a few quick photos before they both double over in laughter, all focus broken. Since they’ve already distracted, they take this time to have a proper break. Mammon takes MC’s sketchbook and uses a few empty pages to doodle nonsense while MC stretches their hands and eats something. 

The afternoon’s plans are tossed aside- as much as Mammon loves MC’s undivided attention, he can’t keep still. With his endless charisma, he distracts MC from ever starting the drawing again, and they instead decide to go out on an impromptu date to Madame Scream’s before heading over to an arcade. Although the sketch remained unfinished, MC hadn’t forgotten about it. And after a rough day at work and fighting with Lucifer again, Mammon would find it slipped under his door. Completed and making him look better than any camera ever has, with words of comfort and love scribbled on the back, the drawing would cause MC to be hunted down by a teary eyed demon, demanding a hug.

Apparently TK won't be there with TS for Grammys because of his Super Bowl practice in Las Vegas. Schedule and rules are strict and he can't be distracted. Now Grammys are happening in LA, starts from 8pm i guess. He surely won't practice at night right? And Vegas to LA flight is a little over 1 hr long. He can definitely be there if he wants and go back to Vegas the same night in ✨ Taylor's jet ✨ I mean if she can come back right after finishing long tiring shows, flying through different timezones by a 10+ hours long flight just to be there for him on his Super Bowl day then why can't he fly to the neighbouring state to be there with her for her special night? What excuse is this

I’m a fan of Taylor Swift and her music. I’m looking forward to the Grammys because I like the album Midnights and I love to see how Taylor Swift, who I’m a fan of, dresses for and dances at the Grammys. I’ve been watching her at that event for over a decade and enjoy seeing Taylor Swift, (her job is being a singer) be recognised for her art.

While she was on a break she dated someone who is working then but I don’t GAF about him or his job.

Happy Nice Ask Week!!! (German week starts on Monday, so I still have 1 hour to go and am decidedly NOT late)

I'm stealing other peoples idea and sending everyone the same ask :)

I recently saw a post that said we need to reblog and show more love to more fan art. So lets kill two birds with one stone:

WHAT'S A PIECE OF FAN ART YOU LOVE?! (fandom of your choosing) If you would be so kind to link it, so we could all show some love, that'd be amazing :))))

And since it's nearly Monday (or already Monday to everyone living in the future) have a great week 🫶🏻

Hello! ❤️ Oh I love fan art! I would love to use this question to highlight @thisbuildinghasfeelings and her 911 Lone Star cross stitch projects. They're unique and adorable and I love that a whole other kind of artistic skill is being used to create and share work in our fandom - it's so so endlessly cool to me. A masterlist of Anne's cross stiches is linked above, and I want to highlight this iconic quote of TK's, the dinner table argument, the proposal, the wedding vows for which a comically large hoop was needed, Season 1 Tarlos, Season 2 Tarlos, and Season 3 Tarlos. So many great ones! Anne has also made gifts based on fanfic, which is so lovely.

On the theme of gifts! I would also like to take this as an opportunity to say thank you again to @fitzherbertssmolder for this piece based on @heartstringsduet's fic The Kind You Can't Get Away From, which I commissioned for her birthday, and to @heartstringsduet herself as well for this piece for @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut birthday based on his fic A Clock Chimes Softly Twelve for Midnight. (Also shout out to these sleepy sketches which I adore).

And! While I'm here! There's much glorious smut art and I love and adore this bubbly shower kiss called In the Mist by @whatsintheboxmh and Since the First Night I Took You Home by @a-kinkajou

I couldn't pick just one and this is not nearly all of what I've loved. The talent in this fandom blows my mind.

(Artwork below by @heartstringsduet as well for When Soulmates Swim. Emotonal about it every day.)

🎁

Spade - I've been looking at these riddles the last couple of days and if I am on the right track, so far, they could be REP TV coded - Gift anon may actually be Serpent anon?

My ideas are still a work in progress, and I'm still unsure about some things but wanted to post what I have so far to see others thoughts and perhaps just incase anon stops by on the 53rd…

1. A present is on it’s way, keep your eyes peeled closely. SERPENT - anagram of present - REP TEN - REPUTATION October? SENT - a message is on its way? PEEL - fruit - fruity? a fruity message SWAY - it'S WAY - move/change/rule/control/persuade? CLOSELY - VERY NEAR GIFT - giving without expectation

Rep TV is coming - Will it contain more than we expect?

2. Present, presence, pretence. SERPENT - anagram of present - snake - reputation tv TEN - preTENce - the tenth month (occurring now, something that exists but is unseen, pretending/attempting to make something false appear true)

Restful, reticent, restraint. CENTRE - retiCENT, REstraint - the centre of the month? or CAPITAL? HEART? (something that produces a feeling of calm, not revealing thoughts or feelings readily/silent and reserved, measure or condition that keeps someone under control)

and PUBLISH! PUBlish - where would I find a PUB? LONDON (ANNOUNCE/ISSUE/RELEASE?)

It has been hidden well, look where the above may find you. It may take some time but I have no doubt you will. DON - I have NO Doubt you will - reverse to DON - LONDON TIME - ART - resTRAint- clues hidden in the time magazine art mosaic?

REPTV110 - REP TV 11 OCTOBER ?

REP TV midnight on clock - 25 seconds until midnight… maybe Oct 25?

THIRTEEN scrabble letters (11 points) - orange karma cat, debut guitar, two white cats with pink paint/nails, also next to rep snake/karma orange heart/debut butterfly, 3-4 colour cat

3 x 13 dice totals - 13 DECEMBER -scattered purple beads appear to have hidden letters/numbers?

Time article - ‘Vault tracks are fire’ - Fire is orange

I will stop back by on the 53rd if you are having trouble. 53rd show of the ERA's Tour 2024 - if you ARE having.. - reversed is ERA 53rd show of 2024 is GELSENKIRCHEN N3 - 19th July TROUBLE - synonym - PROBLEM - It's, ME! Hi… ME! SURPRISE SONG?

Main takeaways: Possible announcement in London? Rep TV? Release from restraint - TK PR stunt split? October 11/coming out day - Rep TV announcement or release? December 13 - Meet ME! at midnight… Rep TV/Debut/Karma release?

3. Plausible deniability.

Think of the one we continue to revisit.

This is not the manuscript.

This is not the hint.

4.

I reiterate, this is not the manuscript.

This is a present.

You are looking in the right places.

The predecessor was the crumb.

We seek for answers, but the outside restraint proves her reticent.

The volcano may one day soon spew her fiery guts.

But for now, she slumbers.

The hint is in the words.

Don’t you love a good puzzle?

5. Well, two things can be true.

A gift is a present.

A present is a gift.

Perception is a thief.

Bringing reality abare.

Interpretation sits on one shoulder.

To those who are aware.

Reach those lanterns a little bit higher.

For you shall receive a metaphor so dire.

6. …like the tiny boxes, one within the other, however many you discover there is always one more; *THAT COME FROM THE PUZZLING EAST *PETER PAN - MRS DARLING

7. as when the neighbour holds the lamp, to witness her Goodbye—

when I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me,

oh! keeping our hands on our still-closed eyes,

let us vainly recall the joys that take flight.

she will crawl up out of the night—

the volcano will soon rupture,

whoever is to defame?

*LONGINGS LOCKED IN LOWERCASE
