This was so good...

I just binge-read it ever since I finished work today and it was totally worth it ❤️

long hair & tattoos (bill weasley & reader)

PAIRING: BILL WEASLEY // YOU PLATONIC: Fred Weasley/You, George Weasley/You

Summary:

You, (Y/N) Malfoy, despise your family’s views on blood purity. Unlike your little brother Draco, you won’t be roped into marrying for status. However, when your father, Lucius, puts down an ultimatum, you’re forced to find a lover for next week’s dinner. With his long hair, tattoos, piercings, and your father’s worst nightmare reincarnated in a man, who better to bring than a much older Bill Weasley?

What should’ve been one night of deceit turns to a battle of charades and wits. Just who will crumble first: your family, Bill, or you?

A/N: Guys, I am so excited for this. I was going back and forth between Bill and one of the twins. for this I know the twins would be more well-received, but Bill is perfect. So, I hope you love him (if not already) after this! I’ve wanted to write these tropes for so long: fake-dating, there-was-only-one bed, and so forth, hehe. Also, this story is heavily inspired by the song 18 by Anarbor (I dare say it wouldn’t have existed without it).

Tags: romance, faking dating, no-Voldemort-AU (the Malfoys are still awful though).

Warnings: age gap, pureblood politics

Yue Qingyuan, whispering: We can't let him know

Liu Qingge, also whispering: He will find out eventually

Shen Qingqiu, walking up on them: What do you have there?

Liu Qingge, quickly hiding something behind his back: Nothing!

Shen Qingqiu: Ah, that wasn't suspicious at all

Yue Qingyuan, also hiding something behind his back: Sorry about that xi- Qingqiu-shidi. It looks like another volume of Regret of Chunshan came out so we had confiscated them from disciples

Shen Qingqiu, hiding his flushing face with a fan: I see, well you both don't need my help for that. I will take my leave

Yue Qingyuan, after making sure Shen Qingqiu is out of earshot: You nearly gave us away!

Liu Qingge: I panicked!

Yue Qingyuan, taking out a book written by 'Arrow Shooting Towards The Sky: We can't let him know about the new harem drama about him. He would never look us in the eyes again!

Thanks for the inspiration and a lot of pain)

Here is a version without a shield (it doesn't make sense but I just like it. You can see the fear in Leo's eyes much clearer>:3)

All the HSR I know is second-hand, but @therosefrontier 's long oneshot fic, live for tomorrow (let the past dissolve like sand), is living in my brain and gripping me by the throat so obviously I had to make a reaction meme for how that Sunset Savana homecoming was going to go.

Rip Neji and, and probably the rest of the palace staff and maybe Farena, for the absolute heart attack they're going to get when Leona "makes pretending like he doesn't have a heart an olympic sport" Kingscholar comes home with a traumatized kid. Anyway I can't wait for Dan Heng to be loved and fed well and exposed to sunlight, etc etc. Luckily for him I imagine Neji will immediately start the care routines while strangling Leona when Dan Heng isn't looking.

I dislike when people act like animatronics are scrap metal when they’re damaged. Sure it’s going to be harder to restore a headless character, or to find/make the pieces you’re missing, but if it was built from the ground up in the first place then it’s able to be built again. With enough determination, anything is restorable!

Which comics would you reccommend for learning about Johnathan Cranes backstory?

Would you reccommend Scarecrow Year One? Are there lesser known Scarecrow origin stories that you would reccomend?

There's several comics that go over his backstory and yes, year one is one of them. It's my personal favorite and I think it's highly worth reading. However, there are others that are just as good. Here's a list

Riddle of the Human Scarecrow || World’s Finest #3 (first appearance)

Masters of Fear || Batman Annual 19 (New Earth Origin)

Scarecrow: Year One || (Year One Origin)

Untold Tales of Blackest Night (Yellow Lantern origin )

Cycle of Violence || Batman: The Dark Knight Vol 2 #10 - #15 (New52 Origin)

Batman ‘66 #28 (’66 Origin)

and his origin(s) are referenced/retold in the following comics  (not in order)

Batman #189

Batman #373

Batman #457

Detective Comics #486

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #138

Batman/Scarecrow 3D

⬇️rant about a really good hengren (reverse renheng) fic i read. link at the bottom give it a whirl

i've never read a fic so well-catered to my tastes before in my life and the best part is that i was so caught off guard by how good it was cuz the tags and summary had me like "right this is some omegaverse-esque, rawr XD mating shit"

but from the very first paragraph i realized it wasn't just ao3-typical possessive mating shit it was (dare i say) IN CHARACTER possessive mating shit. underappreciated dan feng lore is the two hearts shit, duty expects him to smother his own empathy and perform cruelty obediently (and that being in his dragon form literally numbs his empathy towards mortals) but then it's flipped around and he's criticized for being too heartless

there aren't a great many english fics that take advantage of the 'numbed empathy' thing, so this fic using that to explore the toxic codependency that drove dan feng to making yingxing immortal in the first place is so!

dan feng's dragon heart prioritizing it's own indulgence and power, his human heart screaming against it for empathy and restraint, but both hearts united in this possessive adoration of yingxing... dan feng is possessive to the point of harming his partner, forcing them to take his affection, inherently contradictive to the protective impulse to see the other unhurt.

dan feng makes yingxing immortal in a really sketchy operation, despite knowing that yingxing is literally defined by his pride in being a short-life. he wants yingxing to be with him so badly that he does the one thing that would hurt yingxing the most, too blinded by possession, this sickly overbearing affection, to empathetically respect yingxing's death.

yingxing lived cramming every second he could into his craft and his goals precisely because he has so much less time than all the immortal species around him, but when he's forced into immortality, his hands are scarred and ruined past the point of ever crafting again. he suddenly has so much time, all this time he would've cherished as a mortal, but is totally useless to him now that his purpose for living and passion is gone.

so there being a scene in this fic where dan feng is moping "yingxing doesn't wanna fuck because he's glued to his workshop", being followed up with a scene of dan heng fucking blade while kissing his scarred hand and crying that he's "so sorry", yeah no shit asshole, his dragon heart got what it wanted, blade has all the time in the world to fuck and nothing competing for his now limitless attention and no one's happy about it.

as arrogant about being a short-life as yingxing was, it really is compensation for the discrimination he faced for it. other immortals looked down on him, so having dan feng, THE top dog, be so deeply enamored with him stirred his own toxic codependent urges. he was so desperate to have dan feng's eternal regard that he's willing to die for him (as in the sedition), his death being the force cementing his place in dan feng's heart forever.

so the fic having yingxing ruminate on this, that he had hoped for dan feng to love him even centuries after he inevitably died, only for the fic to end with:

yeah yingxing... you left an impression... he made you immortal.... everyone's upset by this

(that's what makes dan heng forgetting blade was ever yingxing to begin with all the more painful because, you went and turned him immortal and when it backfired horrifically you went on and fucking forgot, bitch i'd be pissed to the point of centuries long bloody pursuit of vengeance too.)

here's the fic go read it and leave kudos and a comment, technically porn but i got so invested in the character study that part barely registered. also yeah if you hadn't realized already super dead-dove:

blah blah "renheng is toxic" sorry that's why i like it

Omg omg david tennant he was amazing omg omg also he was so nice he signed everyone's program at the stage door??? God as if its possible to love this man even more

Hey pop!

I’ve been thinking about roadside attraction lately,(absolute banger chapter 5, I’ve reread it like 2-3 times now!)

-and I am so curious about what was it that inspired you to make another chapter? Random inspiration? Hyper-fixation beam? Have you been to a diner yourself lately?

Whenever I eat at my town’s local diner I always get reminded of roadside attraction, (he’s just like me fr haha,) so I was curious if the same was true for you?

I love your fics! Thanks so much for making them. ◡̈

I find writing UF pap is so hard, but you make it look so easy?? I love your characterization of him, you’ve really nailed the whole vibe of ‘ut pal but add years of impossible decisions and unfathomable violence’, like you can TELL he’s got the heart of ut pap in there, but it’s changed because of the world he’s grown up in. He’s had to become a protector young to keep his family of two safe. (Something that ut pap would do too, in his own way. Probably a lot less violently.)

It’s really cool to see where they’re similar, where ut pap ends and where uf pap begins.

I can’t wait to see uf pap’s happy ending, he’s earned it. <3

Oh, and the little interactions with him at sans at the ends of the chapter?? I LIVE for those, they’re so funny and cute. Arguably, they might be my favourite part of the chapter, like a little treat at the end of dinner.

Aaaa thank you, I’m really glad you’ve been enjoying the fic so far! <3

As for what inspired me to write a new chapter, I’m kind of embarrassed to admit it because it’s so predictable of me lol

But…I actually just reread Bones, Picked Clean again, which is probably my favorite fic. A long time ago, it’s what got me more interested in AUs, and Horrortale, and what inspired me to start writing fic in this fandom in the first place. I guess it did it again because I read through it and then cranked out a full chapter in just a couple days. I hope I remember this trick next time I get writer’s block! XD

The end-notes of the chapters are definitely one of my favorite parts, too! I love getting to show a little peek of what those knuckleheads are up to when they’re off-screen, so to speak, since it’s usually something dumb. Best way to wrap up a chapter is with definitely with idiots being idiots!

[mustardyellowsunshine]

hii! im super new to the inuyasha fandom and i know nothing about the manga (yet!), so i was wondering if the pics as the one in your header are from the manga or fanmade. ty!! x

Hello, and welcome!! 😊 Glad you're getting to know the fandom!

The image in my header is a panel from the manga (one of my absolute fave panels). It's from chapter 112.

I reread the InuYasha manga a couple years ago and ended up taking pictures of (and then eventually editing/tweaking) panels that caught my fancy, and I... got pretty carried away with it. I dumped most of them onto my blog if you ever wanna explore more of the manga without committing to reading a 558-chapter series.
