#totally not on the verge of a mental breakdown

[animalsalvationassociation]

this is for kwazii how did you handle lied your entire life going to you blamed yourself believing in believing or do you blame the people who let you know believe that you struggle with questioning reality are you getting help do you go to therapy? ( The creator of Au answer however you want I just really think be interesting to ask him about it)

[ DO NOT REPOST, ALL ART & CONCEPTS WERE MADE BY ME ]

“ Late Nights ”

Not my best work but honestly I’m just trying to distract myself from tomorrow. #retailworker + #blackfriday (if you know, you know)

I’m sorry Anon, & idk maybe it’s just me, but I had a really hard time reading this. I really only understood the first and last bits but everything else was kind of hard for me.

(If you’d like you’re welcome to send me another anon-ask explaining this one. And I’d be happy for the clarification to just be between the pair of us, I don’t have to post it if you don’t want me to.)

In response to the actual question . . .

I couldn’t really find an answer for you. I’ve always had the opinion that Kwazii wasn’t ever lied to, he just didn’t have all the puzzle pieces. Even with CJ I could never think up (canonically or non) any lies Kwazii was ever told. I do see CJ keeping certain information from him (on purpose or not) because he didn’t have time or it was a sore subject for him so Kwaz never pressed. But maybe I’m just reading their interactions wrong *shrug*.

Therapy? Definitely but I may touch on that in a later post.

However, by asking these questions I had a feeling we were in need of some sad vibes, so I hope you enjoy. It’s not much but it’s the best I could do at the moment. If you can’t tell, the picture is of Kwaz and Em cuddling while he’s having an episode, and I feel like it’s really matching my energy tonight.

~

And to all of my other followers I do apologize to you as well. I haven’t been able to do anything creative this week. I’ve been working nonstop picking up shifts for my sick/recovering coworkers and basically working the floor by myself during one of the busiest weeks of the year. I’m extremely spent/stressed and I still have two more shifts to work before Sunday.

So with all that said, since I’ll be very busy working Black Friday, unfortunately I won’t be able to get to those remaining Octonauts headcanons I promised. Which feels super crappy but right now there’s nothing I can do.

I hope you’ll forgive me, and maybe I can win your favor next week with some Emma/Cap Barnacle content. But for now I hope your day goes well, have a Happy Thanksgiving / National Native American Heritage Day and please . . . take care of yourselves. 💙🍪

Looking at a transcript of episode 10 and I love how you can feel Izzy's fear just from reading this

And, um, in the meantime, maybe, you could, you know, polish things, or, maybe, swab the deck.

๋࣭⭑ Devlog #41 | 5.28.24 ๋࣭⭑

It's hot girl (/gender neutral) summer season

HAPPY MAY!!

Hope you're all doing well <3 We're already getting into summer, which is a little crazy to me. The year is flying by! Before I get into what we actually did this month, it wouldn't be a May devlog without our annual Mermay celebration!

Look at those locks. His Ariel/Rapunzel era fr

Since I already had updated Mermay pieces for the Alaris LIs, I decided to do one for our beloved Van this year ^^ Hope you all like it!

For writing this month, I spent a lot of it catching up on Etza edits. Being totally transparent, I wasn't Completely Happy with their route when their draft was finished. But now that I've started the editing process with Wudgey, I'm really excited to see how their route is shaping up!!! We've been fleshing a lot of little interactions out with their route, and I can already see Etza's character really starting to shine with these edits ^^

I've also been chipping away at Kuna'a's route! While it's nowhere near finished, I'm hopeful that this upcoming month will be the month of Kuna'a now that I don't have a bunch of releases I'm trying to balance. His route is also one of the ones whose outline is more fleshed out (Druk and Etza I would say were the least fleshed out, which might be why they also took a bit longer). So I'd love to see Kuna'a's first draft complete/almost complete by the next devlog!

This month, I had to dust off my art skills tbh LMFAOIJSDF. It's been.... a WHILE since I've made CGs since I've been in the writing and coding dungeon for so long. So most of this month's art updates are me getting tilted from redrawing an ugly sketch over and over.

I DID manage to get the Van Mermay piece out. And I also was able to sketch out Kayn's Tragic End CG; that leaves only one CG that has to be sketched out! Currently, six of their CGs are finished, two need to be rendered, and one needs to be drawn still.

And since Kayn's CGs are mostly done, I've started drawing Fenir's. I was actually able to finish one because I basically Locked In when I made it, so here is a sneak peek!

Kisses his little pink nose

You might notice there's not toooo many updates on this month's devlog. The reason for that is because this month, I spent a lot of it recovering both mentally and physically. April shenanigans and those back-to-back releases took a lot out of me, and after going full speed basically since this year started, I learned I REALLY needed a break. That coupled with the concussion I got made it so that most of this month was focused on recovering and then getting back into the groove of things.

Another thing I tried to focus on this month was finding a balance in my workflow. Going into this month, I felt like I was on the verge of a mental breakdown almost every day, in large part because I have a lot of big things I'm trying to accomplish this year. Between finishing my dissertation, Alaris, and a personal big event that I have to plan, I have a lot on my plate this year, and it's made it easy to get overwhelmed as the months pass by. So I wanted to find a balance between all three that didn't make me feel like I was also falling into insanity. After talking to beloved Wudgey of @herotome fame, I've started adopting a schedule that gives me enough structure and flexibility to feel like I'm making progress without going crazy and getting lost in the sauce.

While it's still early in the process, I'm really happy with the balance I've hit, and I'm feeling much more like myself now compared to a month ago!

I caught up on quite a few things in my backlog this month, which made me happy ^^ I always like to learn from and support other devs, so finally being able to return to that helped with the recovery process <3

I don't have any actual fanart pieces, but there are a couple of games I'd like to highlight!

First of all, of course I must talk about our hot girl (/gender neutral) summer cross-promo. If you haven't checked out these games, I can't recommend them enough!!

Links to each game can be found on the Alaris Game page under the magic and mystery otome section!

Specifically, Save the Villainess, The Good People, and Thorn for the Villain are amazing games if you're into thriller/political games layered with mystery

The Silent Kingdom (which I played recently and is AMAZING) and Dual Chroma (Otojam 2023 ALLY) have added mechanics of RPG for exciting action-adventure fantasy stories

Lost in Limbo, Obscura, and Snow White Ashes are BEAUTIFUL dark fantasy games. I've played all three of these and they have some of the most beautiful writing and visuals... BIG FAN OF ALL OF THEM.

Mask Beyond Lies and Sigh of the Abyss have that epic fantasy adventure appeal to them, in a way that I think is similar to Alaris! And Pearlglow Cafe (another Otojam 2023 ALLY) is a very lighthearted and charming game for those of you who like the comfy vibe that most of my stories have!!

Some other games that I played are Favor (@favorvn) by beloved @concreteparasite which is SOOOOO stylish. If you've played Binary Star Hero by Connie, you can expect that same stylish, dark, sultry vibe from Favor. If you haven't checked out either of those games by Connie, I can't recommend them enough, especially if you like yanderes. There is so much aesthetic and atmosphere to them!

I also played Where Winter Crows Go by @prikarin who is a VERY talented developer (and one I'm sure many are familiar with). I had a lot of fun romancing Crowe and both the MC and him have such strong personalities, it was so fun seeing their dynamic!!!! The CGs were also made by anta, who is the dev behind Thorn for the Villain, and they're BEAUTIFULLLLL. Each one has so much style and rly has a professional look to them. Can't recommend enough if you haven't played already ((heads up that it is another yandere game for those who can't do yandere!))

Okay I've yapped enough. If you've made it this far, you are god's strongest soldier LFMASLDIFJ. See you all next month with hopefully some exciting progress!

[anxiousnerdwritings]

Ned would just passively accept it too 😭 So long as Brandon and Catelyn get married then House Stark’s bloodline will continue, so it’s fine, right? But they’ll end up fostering Mya Stone and Eric Storm so they can have their own little family

Since the marriage most likely wouldn’t even really be seen as a real marriage in Westeros Himbo!Baratheon!Reader really tries to make it right with Ned feeling like he completely screwed up his life. Himbo!Baratheon!Reader is so apologetic for dragging Ned into this that he tells him that he can go off and be with Ashara and be happy with her in Starfall and they don’t have to be anything akin to a married couple whatsoever.

But Ned is fully committed to this marriage no matter what. And he’s gonna stay loyal to his man.

Meanwhile Lyanna is absolutely envious that her brother ended up with her man. Rhaegar is on the verge of a mental breakdown and crashing out. Aerys has had about a hundred full breakdowns if not more. Rhaella is even more lonely than she already was and desperately misses Himbo!Baratheon!Reader and his comfort. Robert is a rollercoaster of emotions. Stannis is honestly perplexed and at a loss for words at everything that’s transpired. Renly is barely hanging on. Cersei is out for blood. Jaime doesn’t know what the fuck is going on anymore and is totally not reeling from the loss of having Himbo!Baratheon!Reader’s presence to annoy him throughout the day anymore. Tywin is stewing and plotting. Brandon is a little jealous but also totally hyping Ned up for not only pulling Ashara Dayne but being able to snag Himbo!Baratheon!Reader too. And Ashara is more than happy to take both of them and live happily in Starfall together.

OT13 and their Maladaptive (unhealthy) coping mechanism

A/N: Just a little reminder that no one’s perfect, and even though these coping mechanisms might not always be the healthiest, they’re pretty relatable. After all, who doesn’t try to avoid stress in their own ways? Sometimes, it's just about making it through the day. We’ve all been there!

Content: Mental health, stress, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. These topics, while presented in a lighthearted way, may be triggering for some who are sensitive to issues around stress, avoidance, and emotional management. Please proceed with caution if these topics are sensitive or triggering for you or just skip for your own sake.

This is my personal opinion and perspective. It may not accurately reflect their real-life personalities or behaviors.

Seungcheol: As the leader, he carries a lot on his shoulders. But when it gets too much, he might lean into the I’m fine routine, pretending everything’s okay even when he’s on the verge of a breakdown. He’s too proud to ask for help sometimes, and you just know he’s the type to act like he's ‘just a little tired’ when really, he’s about to crash. We’ve all seen it—his inner monologue is probably like, I got this. I got this. Who am I kidding, help!

Jeonghan: Ah, Jeonghan, the guy who might joke (he's not joking) about needing a nap, but when it gets overwhelming, he tends to bury himself in distractions. Whether it's scrolling through his phone, watching too many YouTube videos, or just zoning out in a random corner, he’ll avoid confronting the stress head-on.

Joshua: Joshua is the type to bottle everything up. His coping mechanism? Probably something along the lines of ‘I’ll just keep everything inside and hope it resolves itself.’ He might try to keep things light, cracking a circus here and there, but deep down, he’s not giving himself the time to really process things. "Oh, no, I’m totally fine," he says, and then he gets lost in his guitar for hours, hoping the music will just make everything magically better.

Jun: Jun’s a reserved one, and when things get tough, he might just shut everyone out. His coping mechanism? Silent treatment...to himself. He’ll isolate himself, retreating to his space, pretending he doesn’t need anyone.

Hoshi: Now, Hoshi might get super energetic when stressed, channeling all his anxiety into hyperactivity. He tries to push through it by overworking himself—distracting himself with activity after activity. But sometimes, he forgets to slow down, and suddenly, he’s exhausted in the worst way possible.

Wonwoo: Wonwoo's a classic introvert. When stress hits, he might go into ‘silent mode’ and avoid everyone, including his own feelings and members. He might retreat into games or other activities to distract himself. But sometimes, it’s just him avoiding talking about what’s bothering him. A little more communication wouldn’t hurt, but at least, he’s got his way of handling things—even if it’s hiding from them for a while. “I’m just...lost in this game. Nothing to see here!”

Woozi: Woozi, on the other hand, might bury himself in work—because, well, if he keeps busy enough, he won’t have to face the stress. Music, deadlines, and work are his escape route. But if he’s not careful, he’ll get caught up in his own perfectionism and burn out. He can just tweak this one last thing… and then maybe he can rest. Or not—

Dokyeom: His way of coping? He hides behind humor and positivity. It’s his shield, but sometimes, he can’t tell when it’s just a little too much. He might overdo it with the jokes, laughing off his stress instead of dealing with it. He probably has this coping mechanism "toxic positivity." It is the idea of pushing aside negative emotions or pretending to be happy all the time, even when things aren't going well, in the hope that it will eventually lead to genuine happiness. But sometimes, he just needs to let himself feel the feels :(

Mingyu: Mingyu’s the kind of guy who might try to keep everything under control by staying busy—way too busy. He’ll go into “let’s clean the whole house” mode, or maybe obsess over an odd project that distracts him from his emotions. Sure, it gives him a sense of accomplishment, but he’s not really processing anything. Just keep moving, Mingyu. The stress will go away…somehow

Minghao: He's a bit of a perfectionist, so when stress hits, he might withdraw into his art or meditation. But sometimes, he gets stuck in an endless loop of trying to make everything perfect instead of just letting things be. He might start overthinking and get lost in his work, not realizing he’s just avoiding the feelings that need to be addressed.

Seungkwan: Seungkwan’s a talker, no doubt about it. But when things get tough, he might talk himself in circles, using humor to deflect real emotions. He doesn’t always know when to stop joking around, and sometimes that keeps him from really expressing how he feels.

Vernon: Vernon might cope by immersing himself in music, movies, or media in general, sometimes as a form of escapism. He could get a little lost in these distractions, avoiding real-life stress. It’s his way of tuning out, but we all know that ignoring the issue doesn’t exactly make it disappear.

Dino: He tends to overwork himself. Instead of leaning too much on others, he might dive into practice or focus on perfecting his dance moves, hoping that working hard will help him manage the pressure. He’s also a bit of a perfectionist, so sometimes, he pushes himself too far, believing that if he can get everything perfect, the stress will go away. If I just practice one more time, maybe I’ll feel better... right? he'll say to himself every time.

School must be so crazy over there….

“Ace: ugh, the next period is potion but at least we get to see how to make a love potion to drug darling other than the other boring stuff”

“Mc: you fucking what”

You're in for a rough time, but remember, people know how darlings act there. You wouldn’t want someone to find out that you're not a yandere like them and taking care of you.

Another thing is that you'll also learn how to counter them so you aren't in total danger.

Either way, MC is going to be on the verge of a mental breakdown constantly.

[apollosmusee]

I really love all of your thiollier x reader hcs, I need MORE!! do you think you could possibly write any fluffy hcs or scenarios you think could happen between a tarnished reader and thiollier that you haven't covered yet? maybe reverse comfort?

Thiollier x GN! Reader (Charm broken)

Warnings: no beta reader (we die like men), no implied neurodivergent Thiollier this time (i tried sorry), major spoilers for post charm breaking, mental breakdown, hurt comfort, yes I used quotes from the game, vomit, cringe ending

⚘ most days had been terrible in the shadow realm, especially when you weren’t around. You had become of Thiollier’s closest friends, and he found that the days you were away were the worst of them all.

⚘ today you were coming back from a long expedition, but something was suddenly different. At an instant, all the memories he had of St.Trina and all the overwhelming feelings came rushing into his head, and all his devotion to Miquella had snapped.

⚘ it was fast. As fast as you could blink, he was on the ground throwing up. It was too much for him to handle, everything coming back at once with no warning. All he could do was cling to the ground and cry from the excruciating pain.

⚘ when you had gotten back, he was back at his usual spot on the rock, but you had noticed vague hints of something being spilled on the grass ahead, and traces of pain and sorrow on Thiollier’s face.

“Hey! Are you okay? What happened?” You rushed at Thiollier at once and held, holding his face, moving his head around trying to inspect it. “Oh… um…” he whispered in a hesitant voice, “I’m feeling rather lost. Haunted by memories. Of St.trina,” he lowered his head, sounding like he was on the verge of total meltdown.

You smile and kneel down in front of him, “that’s fine. Do you need any help? Are you wanting to find her?” Thiollier stayed at the same hunched position he was at before and did not answer. You stood up, holding his hands to bring him up with you. “Let’s go lay down, okay?” He nodded and followed you to where you lay.

⚘ he met again with Sir Moore, and he learned that St.Trina may be in the south. Thiollier prepared for the journey everyday until he was ready to leave. You offered to go with him, but he denied.

⚘ you let him know that you support him in all his endeavors and that if he does not come back for a prolonged period of time, you will go to find him.

⚘ when it’s finally time for him to leave, you two have one final talk before he’s on his way. Right before he leaves, he gives you a hug and a peck on the cheek. He had to leave quickly when he realized he had his mask on and that he embarrassed himself for nothing. You did have a good laugh though.

STOP EVERYTHING, SEVERUS AS THE FATHER OF A GEN Z KID? GIRL, YOU JUST OPENED A DOOR, AND I’M OBSESSED WITH THIS IDEA!

Oh my gosh, it’s hilarious just to imagine it. Severus is already a bit older to be a first-time dad, but then add the fact that his child grew up surrounded by technology. The kid takes their phone and AirPods everywhere, like a wizard with their wand. They’re a little geek who spends their free time binge-watching Netflix or playing video games on their laptop, scrolling through TikTok all day, and never missing their favorite streamers' live streams. All their toys and plushies are from movies and shows they’ve been watching since they could remember.

Now imagine Severus telling his kid they have to leave all their stuff behind to go to Hogwarts, where they’ll be away from their phone for most of the year, for several years. A place where almost no one will understand their humor or sense of style. The poor kid would have a total mental breakdown, lol. I can just picture them throwing a little tantrum:

"I can’t go! The next season of Stranger Things is coming out soon, and I can’t just abandon my Sims save! And I’ll miss Kai’s live streams! How am I supposed to pass the time without listening to my Spotify playlist?! Mooooom, tell Dad I can’t go to Hogwarts!"

Meanwhile, Severus is leaning against the doorframe of their room, rethinking all of his life choices as he listens to their 'arguments' for why they shouldn’t go to Hogwarts.

The poor kid would go through a mini withdrawal at Hogwarts lol.

The whole thing is hilarious because I imagine Severus more or less giving his child instructions about Hogwarts—what the school is like, what to expect, etc.—and then the kid being like, “And if there’s no internet, how will I do my homework?” And Severus raising an eyebrow because, to him, whether at Hogwarts or not, it’s always been normal to look things up in actual books, so he’s just unfazed. “By looking in books, like it’s always been done.” And the kid frowning, super offended, like “Well, that’s a huge waste of time, dad.”

Severus trying to teach his child basic spells like Accio or Alohomora, but his wife has fully automated the house and bought an Alexa. While Severus is seriously explaining how to cast those spells, the kid just stares at him, bored, and goes, “But dad, why do you even need all that if you have Alexa? Just ask her to open the door or turn on the lights, simple.”

“You won’t have Alexa at Hogwarts.”

“From what you’ve told me, I won’t have a life at Hogwarts.”

Cue dramatic gesture, because, let’s be honest, this kid is Severus Snape’s child—they has drama running through his veins, only without the trauma. Meanwhile, they father is about to gain two hundred gray hairs.

But let’s go further—let’s bring also the mother into this too.

The mother storming in while Severus is quietly reading, slamming her hand on the table, furious:

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WON’T BE ABLE TO TALK TO MY CHILD ON THE PHONE AT THAT SCHOOL OF YOURS?!”

Severus, knowing a storm is coming, calmly sets his book down and looks at his wife, who’s on the verge of a breakdown.

“We’ve talked about this. There’s no technology at Hogwarts.”

“Can’t they use a spell or something like Callio or whatever?”

“That doesn’t exist.”

“Are you telling me I won’t be able to hear my baby’s voice until Christmas, and that the only way I can contact him is THROUGH BIRDS?!”

Silence.

Or something like…

“Hey, that school we’re sending our kid to… isn’t it the same one where you had so many problems and no one bothered to help you?”

“That was a different time.”

“It better be, because if anyone dares to lay a finger on my child, I’ll burn the place down.”

“Technically, Muggles can’t—”

“Then you’ll burn it down.”

omg omg going off your obsessed scara can you imagine how he'd react if you got with somebody???? boy would go crazy

❥ 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍. ˚⊹꒷

a continuation of this post.

796 words. modern au, obsessive fan behavior, stalking, suggestive, reader is not traveler, not edited.

superfan scaramouche who is initially ecstatic when your group's official accounts announce an upcoming tour within inazuma, hours that he could've—should've spend asleep instead being dedicated to scouring your accounts for venue announcements and pre-sale dates. he goes into a frenzy once the information drops, pulling all-nighters in order to secure tickets at every one of the concerts.

superfan scaramouche who has, as mentioned previously, seen you in person before—attending previous performances both within his home nation and travelling abroad to attend the tours that weren't. but, archons, he just can't control his excitement when it comes to you, having him acting as if it were his first concert.

the chance of seeing his favorite idol while going about his day-to-day, encountering you at all his favorite spots in the city, the possibility of something romantic... his delusional little mind just can't help but jump at it!

superfan scaramouche who personally visits each and every large hotel within inazuma city, convincing ꒰manipulating꒱ them into providing any information they have about exactly where you and your groupmates will be staying. he'll make sure that you, specifically, have the best room in the entire building—anonymously shelling out his own money for sake of upgrading you and you alone.

superfan scaramouche who lurks around your hotel in the same baggy clothing he'd used to disguise himself whilst meeting you, an ominous presence hidden in the crowd that can't help but unsettle you during attempts to go sightseeing before your first show. your nervous expressions are even more intoxicating in the snapshots he takes of you, tucked away in a corner of his room for personal viewing.

superfan scaramouche who has his delusions unceremoniously shattered when his lurking leads him into a bar, eyes wide as saucers and mouth agape as he watches you converse and—and kiss another man that approaches you! despite the stabbing feeling within his chest, he's left totally unable to act as the both of you—intoxicated—stumble out the doors, instead rushing home in tears and on the verge of a mental breakdown. he... doesn't sleep that night.

superfan scaramouche who eventually manages to convince himself that your betrayal is really nothing more than a one-night stand. after all, you certainly couldn't have been in your right mind꒰!꒱ allowing such an... insignificant pest to whisk you away. surely, you must've come to your senses by morning, felt so ashamed by your low standards that you'd come shamefully crawling back to your room.

... only to be proven wrong as he catches you sneaking out during the evening, face hidden beneath an oversized hoodie as you went to go entertain that miscreant yet again. he's in far worse spirits when he returns home, tearing his room apart and destroying half of his merch collection before coming to his senses.

superfan scaramouche who comes to regard this affair of yours as a mistake, even if you aren't exactly aware of it yet. nothing but a mar, if you will, on the perfection that comprises your very being. he's well versed in the dramas of the idol industry, knows well that agencies often exert total control over the lives of their idols. living beneath a ceo's thumb must get exhausting, he decides, a justifiable line of reasoning for this... act of rebellion. it's that worm's fault, really. taking advantage of somebody sweet as you—capitalizing on your naïvety.

superfan scaramouche who, as much as he doesn't want to, believes that there's merit in alerting your supervisors to your rendezvous. actions packaged under the guise of innocent concern, he emails photos of the two of you to your manager—intently eavesdropping on the commotion coming from the hotel that night. you cry until the early hours of morning, his heart aching with each muffled sob.

still, he feels no remorse for his actions, deeming your pain a necessary form of suffering. just like icarus, who flew too close to the sun, you too must learn not to play with fire—to avoid being burnt and falling from the sky.

superfan scaramouche who approaches you during one of your ꒰far more limited꒱ moments of downtime, pointing out the saddened look in your eyes and offering comfort when you vaguely detail your grievances. although there's something familiar about him and the words of praise that slip past his lips, the amount of fans you meet on a daily basis makes it impossible to place the connection—so you instead turn a blind eye and indulge in his comfort. he allows you to weep on his shoulder until your satisfied, the fabric moistened by your tears... revisited later that day.

"shh, shh... i know it hurts now, but really... this was all for the best."

Stray Kids Fic Recs-Demons

Hello! It is time for another group of fic recs, this time anything related to demons (ex. succubi and former "imaginary friends")! Demon summoning is one of my fav tropes so again if you have any recs that aren't on this list send them my way! Mostly Minsung with some others

My other fic rec lists:

Angst free

let me wrap the chains by saru (Minsung | 1/1 | 23,164 | explicit)

Pressure at the foot of the bed makes the mattress dip, and Jisung experiences what can only be described as waking up into a dream. His brain, foggy with short-lived and restless sleep, registers a number of things that might not make total sense but are received as facts, regardless: there’s a hand tugging at the waistband of his underwear, a pair of knees bracketing his own, and the distinct smell of fire in the air. In the darkness of his room, ruby red eyes trail up Jisung’s body before locking on his own. — or, Jisung’s late-night visitor turns out to not be quite as imaginary as he originally thought.

I love the world building in this one!

amber of ember by adisadatra (Minsung | 1/1 | 21,941 | Explicit)

Minho is tired. He’s so, so tired, and he’s felt unsafe in his own life since the day he discovered Seojoon and his lover in his bed. At work, in Minho’s flat, at his favourite park with the hideous fountain, he’s always listening for footsteps behind him, braced for impact and seeing danger everywhere with his nerves feeling peeled raw. He’s spiralling downward, he knows he is, and he’s not even sure what’s real anymore. Making a deal with a demon isn’t the worst-case scenario right now.

I loved this one! Basically Minho has a creepy ex and makes a deal with a demon (Jisung) to get revenge

Changbin stares at him, still struggling to take in all of his features. It’s incredible how someone can look so different, yet still completely unchanged. “Jisung?” Part of him still holds onto the belief that the man will frown, maybe laugh mockingly, maybe ask ‘who the fuck is Jisung?’ and leave. Changbin isn’t sure whether that would be worse than the alternative. (Or: ten years after his abrupt disappearance, Changbin’s imaginary friend barges back into his life—not human, but very much real.)

I loved Changbin and Jisung's dynamic in this one! Minor 2min as well which is super cute

god knows we're lonely souls by flying_dream (Minchan | 3/3 | 34,864 | Mature)

Chan is a touch-starved producer. Minho is a sleep paralysis demon who has never known affection. They're not in love - they barely even know each other - but somehow they manage to make it work.

This is for sure my favorite on this list, if you only read one read this one!

exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation by yamesungie (Minsung | 1/1 | 4862 | Explicit)

format-default : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. “What the fuck do you mean, invocation? Am I coding or playing D&D? Do I have to roll a d20? Do a blood offering?” “Invocation is another term for a method call, you can thank me later.” “Hey, I was joking, I already-” knew that. Wait, what the- Jisung lets out a blood curdling scream and almost falls out of his chair as he turns his face away from his screen. The man standing next to him stares at him, arms crossed and an amused grin on his face. “What the fuck are you doing in my apartment?” "I feed off humans' lust, anguish and despair. It’s only natural I choose to target software developers past their bedtime, right?" (or: Jisung is a software developer on the verge of a mental breakdown, Minho is the incubus who visits him at 1am.)

Super silly concept and a short and sweet fic

How I Met My Demon by alcrox (Jeongsung | 1/1 | 17,447 | Explicit)

“Well, to my utter surprise, no demons were summoned,” proclaims Jisung dramatically. Now that the shooting is nearing its end, he feels decidedly more chipper. Less faking it. “Fuck you too, demons.” He swipes a broad hand over the glitter, messing it up even more. It looks like there has been a bloodbath in the room, only the blood is shiny and glittery and sticks everywhere. “Now-” “I swear to hell, what is your problem?” Jisung jumps. Violently.

5 times Jisung summons a demon and 1 time he doesn’t.

Where Jisung is a youtuber and summons a demon as a joke. Love this one!!

And that's all I have for demon fics! Like I said before if you have any (or any other fic I haven't recced yet) that you've liked that aren't on this list please send! My next ideas for fic rec lists are fantasy, fake dating, and college au--if you want me to do one of these first also lmk!

The disaster twins r so #sillay :D

(From: random ROTTMNT oneshots, requested story)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both Leo and Donnie were just... not feeling great.

Both didn't get very much sleep the night before, and also, oh wow, depression is still a thing.

Thankfully, just before they both had a literal mental breakdown, Y/n showed up! 

Obviously, with the disaster twins being damn SIMPS, they both wanted a hug from Y/n to feel better. They wouldn't mind giving them both one, and it's from one of their favorite people! Sounds like a great formula for feeling better!

The problem was, however, that the disaster twins, being simps, are both not very good at asking Y/n for a hug. I mean, what are they supposed to say? Just go up and ask for a hug? Okay, that would work, but that's embarrassing! No one just does that...especially with your crush.

So, that is how this absolute chaos started.

Leo and Donnie decided that it would be a great idea to see who could hint at wanting a hug the best until Y/n actually understood what they wanted and gave one to them. 

Add on the fact that they're both literally holding themselves together with zip ties and duck tape so they don't have a mental breakdown before Y/n can even see them, and you get a totally friendly and nice brother competition! Nothing to possibly go wrong!

As of right now, Leo and Donnie are both sitting on opposite sides of Y/n as Y/n plays a video game and Leo and Donnie both just watch.

Donnie is shaking slightly as he tries to contain his anxiousness, and Leo fiddles with his fingers, which is something that he does only when he's trying really hard to hold his "face man" persona.

Leo and Donnie had been subtly hinting at wanting a hug from Y/n, saying things like "Oh man, I feel cold." Or, "Dang! That was awesome! I should hug you or something, ha!" but sadly, Y/n didn't catch on with any of them, much to Leo and Donnie's annoyance.

Eventually, Leo was getting so desperate for a hug (and he felt even WORSE mentally as time went on), so he just straight up went for it. Y/n just beat a really hard mission in the game they were playing, so Leo simply says, "Do you want a hug for that?" 

Y/n looks at him with a strange look, while Donnie looks at him from the other side of Y/n with a look that both looked like, "I'm going to kill you," and like Donnie was even more on the verge of a breakdown because he wanted to be the first one to get a hug from Y/n. "Uhh...Leo, you feeling alright, bud?" Leo starts to sweat nervously, and he can hear his heart pumping in his chest. "Uhh...haha! Gotcha! I...uhh...was just kidding! Mhm! Just a joke!"

Ahhh!! What is he doing??? Both in the fact of why is he just going for it like this, and WHY IS HE GOING BACK ON IT LAST SECOND???

Y/n squints their eyes at Leo, and Leo can tell that they're trying to tell if he's really telling the truth. However, Leo's face thought that that would be the absolute perfect time to betray him, by making tears of both embarrassment and sadness well up slightly in his eyes. Y/n notices it almost immediately.

"Hey! Are you crying? What's wrong??" Leo notices all too late what was happening and wipes his eyes, which honestly just makes the fact that there were tears in his eyes way more obvious. "No, no! I'm fine Y/n! Its just, uhh...really dusty in here! Yeah!" Y/n doesn't believe it for a second, but before Y/n can protest, Donnie scoops them up from behind in an awkward hug. "Ah- Donnie?" Leo's face grows hot at seeing Donnie hug Y/n before him, because Leo was the one about to get a hug! What the heck! "Hey! Donnieeeee! I was about to hug them!" "One, you were just about to tap out, and two, even if you weren't, you were taking WAYYYY too long! I want Y/n hugs too, you know!" 

Y/n laughs from their spot in Donnie's arms, and the noise makes both Donnie's and Leo's hearts skip a beat. "Wait, wait. Both of you slow down. You both want a hug from me??" Donnie and Leo blush as Leo struggles to form a sentence. Donnie just gives up making a sentence right then and there. Nope. He was NOT doing that.

"Uhh...w-well, you see...we...uhh...kinda felt a bit sad today, s-so...uhh...we just wanted to get a hug from you t-to make us feel better??" Y/n laughs again and shimmies out of Donnie's hold. Donnie lets out a distressed chirp at his hold on Y/n being stolen from him. "Alright. Both of you, bring it in." 

Y/n holds their arms out, and Leo and Donnie practically crash into Y/n, partially making Y/n not be able to breathe. "Ow- guys! A bit less tight?? Please????" Leo and Donnie look at each other sheepishly and make their hold on Y/n less tight. Y/n breathes out with the new air they got into their lungs and pulls the boys closer. "Hey! I thought you just told us to not hug you too tight!" "Yeah, but it's alright when I'M the one hugging YOU too tight." 

Leo and Donnie both laugh at that, and suddenly, they feel a lot better than they did before.

They knew that a hug from Y/n would make them feel better.

you’re comfortable writing it, you could have reader have adhd and that means she forgets things a lot, lots of things being necessary things like eating and putting on her glasses/ contacts, you could have her forget to eat one day and since hobie is busy he can’t check her vitals until he pays her an impromptu visit and sees that she’s super tired and sluggish and he realizes she hasn’t been eating (you could totally take this any route you want I just think it would be cute if he sets himself an alarm to check her vitals just incase)

Her Condition After Week-Long Mission

Im changing up the plot a little because I can /hj

CW: Hobie being sappy, ACCURATE Potrail of ADHD (I have ADHD, so these are sorta based on real events).

Little quip: does anyone else go to use words, but they are so often used in a sexual manner that you gotta rephrase so you don't sound nasty?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hobie knew of Y/N's Neurodivergentcy habits and made a pact with himself to not step in unless absolutely necessary. So the longer they were together, he always knew what needed to be stocked in the house at all times, and more ways to help during sensory overload.

This punk constantly checked on them, if he had the day off and they were hyper-focused on something, he'd keep all 3 different drinks at their respective temperatures and make sure they at least snack on something throughout working.

Then Miguel called him and told him he'd be gone on a mission for a week. Hobie knew it was important, so he tried to make sure they had everything in the apartment to be okay... with a kiss he left.

Day 1: Everything was normal, they woke up early, took a quick shower, started work, and worked all night, only breaking to go to the bathroom. They were so focused on work they had forgotten to eat something, and the light tinge from not eating they wrote off as 'Just missing Hobie"

Day 2: They felt a bit more drowsy than normal, but they made some eggs, ate half, and got distracted by the mountain of dishes, the dishes reminded them of the laundry, and doing the laundry reminded them to shower. And so by the time they remembered to sit down and work it was about....11:54pm Day 3: They had slept at their desk on accident so now, they were tired, in pain, and stressed because the boss moved the project date sooner. they only moved to go to the coffee pot and bathroom all day.

Day 4: They were knocked out in bed exhausted, they knew they had to keep working but they get so stressed out thinking about it. So at 8:30pm they grabbed hobies hoodie and sat on the floor curled up having mental paralysis because of the stress,

Day 5: The burnout started the fading hope of actually getting the work done. it came to the realization that for the past 2 days, they hadn't really eaten much.... sure they had snacked on some loose snacks and had a bunch of coffee, but no real full meals. They tried to shower to help calm the cricks in their back and how ill they were feeling

Day 6: They were back at work again pushing through, ignoring the stomach pain, and the headache. They had woken up and just felt like they were on the verge of a breakdown. Everything was too much right now, they just wanted their comfort human, comfort blanket, and comfort food all in the same place. They were so overloaded sensory wise, they couldn't speak on the company Zoom calls, they were using the chat, and even that felt like too much

Day 7: It was the day hobie came home... it was the day they had off from work. They drifted around like a zombie. They managed to eat a bowl of cereal in between waking up and taking a nap. After that nap, they just sat on the bed completely zoned out... after what felt like maybe 5 minutes, the clouds were gray and hobie was stepping through his portal.

When hobie saw they zoned out, all the coffee mugs towering on the desk and how pale they were. he knew immediately what happened. He quickly got out of all his spider gear, and he made sure to be careful as he moved them to lie down. He kissed their forehead... "Oh, my angel of music... it's okay, just rest. Tomorrow and Tuesday call in sick and I won't take any mission and we can just spend the next two days getting back into our routine, does that sound good?"

They meekly nod as they finally put themselves under the covers of the bed. "Im sorry, it was so much, the boss moved the project date up sooner. I really tried hobie. I mean it I really tried" they sniffle. hobie hugged them tightly and nods "I know angel, and I'm proud you tried, now rest."

BONUS: The next day in the evening

"Hobie..... thank you for everything," Y/N said cuddled into his chest, wrapped in their favorite blanket, eating their comfort food, watching their comfort movie. Hobie just hums "So explain to me again why you like this movie so much??"
