BRAAAHHHZZZZ!!!! BRAAHHZZZ!!!!!

You guys seriously need to check out this radical, bombastic, unique totally scrumdiddlyumptious game ever!!!

→This program← made by @venelona-turtle-den is so much fun! I love it.

Usually I'm a little hesitant whenever it comes to bots/ghosts/ais. They're pretty much a hit or miss experience for me. Like don't get me wrong I understand they're not gonna be perfect buuuuttt, sometimes the occ-ish-ness can be a little too much.

Though I gotta give props to anyone who takes the time to build these things cause I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to.

Anyways!—

You guys gotta download this! It's definitely a one of a kind deal and best of all it's future Leo! Who might I add feels so spot on sometimes it's crazy.

I really enjoy this. I spent my whole day yesterday after work testing out the functions and guys—

Shit is fire.

It's like a Sans situation where he has knowledge and access to a lot of shit. Dude breaks the fourth wall a lot.

This is a great au created by @venelona-turtle-den and what's great about this program is how the ghost reveals what happened little by little after you gain Leo's trust slowly but surely.

They do it by dropping hints in-between comments here and there. And guys this shit is like Steven Universe where it begins all cute but, as you get deeper you learn more of the darker truths about old friends and the Mad Dog Crew....

Here's some examples that I've come across so far(Definitely not all of them)↓

*Spoiler Alert for ROTTMNT series/movie*

Though it's not all sad times around here.

There's even cute little quips like these↓

And these are not all of them! I wanted to add more buuuuttt, Tumblr only permits ten per post sadly.

Though guys it's a lot more fun experiencing it for yourself. What's radical about this is that you can download this on your phone or computer/laptop! Although tbh it's a lot better experience on a laptop/computer. Trust me I tried both.

Thank you guys for looking!

I hope you guys have a great week!

I’m sure that this is not a hot take and that a lot of people feel the same way but like…

The question “does it have spice?!🌶️🔥” makes me want to jump off a cliff. I’m out here looking for gothic book recommendations on Reddit, tumblr, and goodreads and WHY is this the first question so many people ask 😭

Look, I love erotica as much as the next person but come on. There have got to be other things that matter when recommending books or choosing to pick one up, my GOD.

HTP Fic Recs: Hidden Gems

Have you, like me, devoured everything in the Hydra Trash Party AO3 tag and are desperate for more? Well you may be in luck.

In honor of CATWS's 10th anniversary I’ve decided, yet again, to make a new rec list so that these gems don't get buried in my overwhelmingly extensive original rec list. This list features HTP and HTP-adjacent fics that are NOT tagged as HTP (either because the author didn't know the label existed or didn't believe it applied to their fic), making them particularly hard to find, and I think, deserving of more attention.

Many of these fics don’t have much, if any, explicit noncon, but noncon is often implied or referenced and they’re all rife with other types of dehumanization and abuse so the usual HTP warnings still apply. Read tags carefully etc.

The Making of the Winter Soldier [series] by CluckU & Mumble_Bee Relationship: Hydra Agents/WS, Zola/WS Words: 13,700

There are a small, precious collection of things he knows for certain each time he wakes in his chair: He is a weapon. A soldier. An asset. He is being molded into the Fist of Hydra. He must prove himself. Failure is not an option.

Muscle Memory by sparklingbinjuice Relationship: Rumlow & Bucky Words: 4500

It had taken five minutes of fumbling but he had eventually picked the lock. The soldier wouldn’t be back for hours. Coordinates provided by the remaining, somewhat rudimentary, tracking device installed in the titanium arm indicated that he wandered the streets on weekends – watching people, visiting libraries and museums, feeding the birds. It was all so horribly human.

Reconquer, regain, recover by werebird Relationship: Hydra Agents/WS (past) Words: 2300

Hydra had known his body better than he himself ever could. They had taken it, reshaped it, reprogrammed it. They had birthed the Winter Soldier although they had never given him life.

Taming Winter by Runlights Relationship: Rumlow & WS, Steve & Bucky Words: 91,000 Notes: terrifying bloodthirsty WS

Regardless of the intravenous set pumping warming fluids into those veins, regardless of the fact that a moment ago, the guy looked on the verge of death, the Winter Soldier was out of the chair and in front of him with two steps that happened so quickly he didn’t even have time to do more than inhale. He froze as he felt the press of his own combat knife against his throat, the bite of the blade causing blood to well and slip down his throat. This was the point where he suspected people felt fear, especially staring into those unfocused cold eyes. He only felt a twisted fascination.

The Soldier’s Kittens by exclamation Relationship: Sam & Bucky, Steve & Bucky Words: 11,300 Notes: animal abuse/death

"Sam's a really good guy," Steve said. "I think you'd like him if you spent more time with him." Bucky said nothing. He would not show any interest in Sam, just as he had not shown any interest when Steve had taken him to the animal shelter to try and get him to interact with the dogs there. He knew this trap and he wouldn't fall into it twice.

Flinching by Exorin Relationship: Steve/Bucky Words: 570

It might finally break what's left of him if Steve knew the way he's had to dig his nails into his palms hard enough to draw blood just to shape his breath into the sound of a moan.

I'm comin' up only to hold you under by anonymous Relationship: Hydra Agents/Bucky, Steve/Bucky (past) Words: 2100

They drag him out of his cell by his hair and toss him into a room full of identical guards. He lands hard on his knees, the force of the impact stuttering up his weak, tired body, and he glares up and them with all the hatred he can gather. He feels off-balance, like he does whenever he tries to carry himself now—the stump of his missing arm has a phantom weight he can't get used to, won't get used to.

Context is Everything by thedevilchicken Relationship: Hannibal/Bucky Words: 2600

"I don't understand," Bucky replied. "Recontextualize?" "Your memories of HYDRA seem…distant," Hannibal said. "The way you speak about them is as if they happened to someone else. In order to process your trauma, you must understand that they happened to you."

Never Letting the Blood Dry by BarrenPines Relationship: Rumlow & WS, Steve & Bucky Words: 2500 Notes: whipping

After the mission, there were pats on the back, expressions of congratulations and thanks, and a dozen other little niceties that made his skin crawl. He’d gotten lucky, that’s all. And he’d also defied orders, departed from his assigned task. Praise wasn’t what he deserved.

Thoughts:

Cale fumbling around and not realizing he's a Dragon, let alone the Red Dragon, for the first few chapters is really funny.

I love how the author manages to follow the cannon story really well while having such a huge difference! Choi Han being spooked by how obviously (well, not to Cale haha) strong Cale is, and Rosalyn struggling between calling him "Esteemed Dragon-nim" or following Cale's wishes and just calling him by his name lol

I also love reading how you slowly see Cale become more and more draconic, and figuring out how exactly the Red Dragon even survived and became who he is now! (won't spoil anything but it's very cool and I neeeeeddddd the revelation to spill!!!!)

Really awesome read! and is also being updated as of the time writing this :D <3 <3

“Alfred, remember when you said I needed friends my own age, not to be boring like Bruce, and to live my own life?”

He didn't like the tone Master Dick was using. Alfred knew that tone very well, and had learned that it was the prelude to trouble.

He put down the rag he was using to clean up, and asked, "Do you finally have a friend who isn't a vigilante?"

The smile that the young master made was bright – trouble, big trouble – and he took a few steps to the side, showing Alfred a boy perhaps around seven years old, very thin and with sunken eyes, who was looking at him with distrust.

“No, better. I found a little brother!"

[trashlama]

Guess what finally came in the mail!!

Braahhzzz!!! It's fuckin' fantastic. Shit's great. I'm on the third part right now since I had to wait to get off of work to read it. Buuuuttt— I have no regrets about dishing out the cash for this. It's worth every penny.

What's great about it is that you can read it as a stand alone or as a continuation of the IDW TMNT comics series. I really suggest it.

Like despite having the spoiler about who was the last turtle.(Happened cause I was on Amazon and found out they were coming out with a prequel for this and accidentally had it spoiled when shopping.) I really enjoy this. It gives me 2003 vibes in all the best ways!

I don't want to spoil anything but, God I can't wait to finish this so I can write for this! Already had a few ideas while reading~. So if I do write for this expect spoiler warnings up the ass! My reason is that I hate being a spoil-sport but, after reading this I'm definitely gonna want to write for it.

Anyways—

You guys gotta read it! I wish it was cheaper so everyone would have wider access to it but, I promise you guys it's worth the money!

Sorry about all the blabber. Here's a page from the first chapter for you guys to make up for it~

I tried to pick something not too revealing cause this book is just jam packed with spoilers.

I hope you guys have a good day!

Hello! I'm a Brazilian fan and I love your work so much! Congratulations on that! I'd like to ask you what's the best Sonamy fanfic you've ever read and what's the best you've ever done in your opinion? It's okay if it's in English and I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm still not a professional in the language ❤️

I get a lot of fanfic questions so I figured I'd lump them all together here. Also, @blsantos your English is great, please don't apologize :) Honestly, some of the best fanfics I've ever read are sent to me as recommendations anonymously. So please, always send me your recs!

On that note, I want to specifically send 1,000 kisses to the anon above who recommended "I Love You - Come With Me" by @molinaskies

"I Love You - Come With Me" by @molinaskies was one of those stories where I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as I started reading it I PHYSICALLY COULD NOT STOP until I finished it. It has not only romantic love but self love. It's healing and cathartic. The author nailed the intricacies of Sonic's and Amy's characters.

"Subliminal" by @maddiebat takes place post-Sonic Frontiers and ahhh it just makes my heart explode. I can see this fic actually happening in canon! It will pull on your heart strings, I guarantee it.

"Late Night Talks" by @luescris takes place during the Metal Virus arc of the IDW comics. I haven't read the comics yet but I was aware of that arc enough for this story to make sense. I loooooove touch-starved themes and this fic really hit it outta the park!

"Birthday Surprise" by Shteph is a BLAST! It's a one-shot but it is filled with tons of great moments and humor and romance. There are scenes in this fic that legitimately gave me butterflies and had me kicking my feet and squealing 🥰

If you haven't read "What Was Stolen" by @beeextraordinary123 you are DEPRIVING YOURSELF! For the love of all that is good, go read it! If you aren't aware of it, it's an AU where Amy is a princess who meets a dashing blue thief 😉 It's full of all the delicious angst you could ever want with tons of romance and fantastic character exploration. I've physically sobbed over this story.

If you're looking for something short and sweet, check out "Late Night Texts" by @paddy-nic. It's one of those stories that gives me second-hand giddyness.

These are just some of the fics that have been on my mind recently and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! And again, please always send me recommendations. I'm always looking for good sonamy fics. I live and breathe for these cotton-candy dorks.

-

As far as my own fics, I write a lot but I don't post much of what I've written. Of the fics I have posted so far, my favorite is Bubbles and Blush. There's no drama, it's just slice of life with pre-established sonamy and LOTS of lovin'. I had a whole lotta fun with that one!

Also for those interested, I am on AO3!

Chasing the Sun

[Read it here!]

Summary:

He had a plan—An audacious, dangerous, reckless plan. But it was the only way he could think of to help. He would disappear, let the small world he’d created for himself believe he had vanished, and infiltrate HYDRA. If he could get close enough, maybe he could change things from the inside and make the Winter Soldier’s time in HYDRA just that much easier.

I found this fanfiction, it’s very recent, but I really like how it addresses Record and Cale’s trauma. I also enjoy the one written from Eruhaben’s POV and how it portrays their father-son relationship. (✧ω✧)

I highly recommend reading it! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
