#ty for your question!

[tojiscrack]

holaa sumayaa!!

first of all - I absolutely adore your works! you are probably the reason I fell back into reading fanfics after a very dry era, and with good reason<3 I LOVE liar liar sm it's almost pathetic, but I digress...

as others have mentioned, we have gotten fluff and slice of life till now, but there will be heavy angst 😟 does this mean you have written most of the story already, or is it just your general outlining of the fic? 👀😳

anyways!!!! THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING FANFIC, TE AMO!!!!

love, ana<33333

liar, liar masterlist here:

HOLA 🤭 (got excited seeing the spanish as if my gcse spanish at grade 5 for foundation is gonna be of any relevance here 💀)

‘you are probably the reason i fell back into reading fanfics after a very dry era’

…

i’m gonna cry that is such a unique thing to say and the absolute sweetest thing i’ve seen today 😭❤️❤️❤️

i’m so glad you’re enjoying it??? and i love you more than u’ll ever love liar, liar??? and let’s get married soon??? 🥹

but alas, we return back to the angst scare…

to answer ur question, unfortunately, i have not written any of the chapters further than chapter 6 (which is halfway completed atm). but i do have all the chapters up until chapter 17 PLANNED in my notes:

i have another file for events that must occur (e.g. how i see them conversing during the angst, how i see the other characters’ reactions to the angst, the narration points that must be mentioned, etc).

so while none of the angst has been written yet, it’s very much been planned already (written down and also mentally prepared). the parts that haven’t been included in a chapter yet will be formed and built together as the story progresses.

this story will have way more than 17 chapters tho. wayyy more than 17 chapters. so… fear not? or maybe you should. idk.

i’m really excited for you to see it all come together… 😋

Possibly a dumb question and I apologize if so but is this a particular font or just your handwriting? What brush and brush settings do you use to get that? It's so nice.

Not a dumb question at all! I hand letter all my work, so that is in fact my handwriting :) I made that comic in procreate and I think it was with the Syrup brush in the inking tab. Gelsinki and Studio Pen are also good for lettering imo

Hi hi!!This is Kryptonian Percy from the Rosegarden server here with two things:

Do you have a version of that 'Would you like an (insert thing here) in these trying times?' Ruby meme you just posted with just the Ruby edit?Totes cool if not!!!

For the Rg thoughts:They are soooooo transmasc4transfem to me!!Maybe it's because i'm femme and transmasc genderfluid/bigender but they just scream trans to me????Ruby reminds me so much of younger trans girls i've met(and there's been a good chunk)and same goes for Oscar regarding younger trans guys!!!!I might flesh out this out in a hc post later but yeah :>

Hello!

I don't usually save working files for memes, but you are in luck that Sai decided to save a back up anyway! So here you go!

i know there's a hand behind her hand but ideally the thing she's holding will cover it LOL

2. You are sooooo incredibly true, they are both very gender to me as well. Oscar especially cause he's also part of the genderbent fairytales team (yes main allusion is the little prince, but he also alludes to Tip/Princess Ozma from The Marvelous Land of Oz, which plays around with gender a whole lot). I enjoy transmasc Oscar that still like wearing dresses tho. He is v special to me 💕

Also transfem Ruby who is Committed to the Combat Skirt™ at Any Cost is soooo silly. I love them both and they are the queerest m/f ship around. 😤

satoru gets hard over literally anything. he sees a peek of your side boob = boner. underboob = boner. skin doesn’t have to be showing, even just the shape of them under your shirt is enough. whether you have on shorts or long pants, he’s popping a boner because satoru starts thinking about your thighs and how they feel and resting his head on them before he’s then fantasizing about kissing them all over and eventually eating you out.

you could be eating a sucker, dutifully minding your own business and satoru’s eyes haven’t left your mouth once because his dirty mind isn’t helping his situation. all he can think about is his dick between your lips instead of some stupid candy. living with you is a nightmare because of how often he’s scurrying off to be alone and rub one out over the most minuscule of details about you <3

Hi!

Question about Alma, what was they favorite food? Or they favorite flavors when she was still alive, I would like to know

(✿︡❛ ᵜ❛︠) bye~

I've answered before they're a major snack food junkie, so they pretty much go for anything sweet and salty. I think their most favorite would be popcorn and chocolate-dipped churros! Especially if it's homemade.

How to stretch it tight. 🤔

[amaltheas-garden]

What's your take on Dany being a misunderstood villain in the books? How much likely is it that she won't be the Mad Queen and will not get dark dany?

To answer your second question, dark Dany is almost a guarantee for the books. One of the most unique aspects of Dany's characters is that she is a woman fulfilling the role of an almost exclusively male archetype: the corrupted hero turned villain. She begins the story as an underdog we want to root for, she comes from a great noble bloodline and her family has been terribly wronged (from her pov), and she decides to use the power she does gain to do good. Her character arc could end right there and she'd go down as one of the best written heroes in the fantasy genre. However, her story does continue, and we see her grow increasingly frustrated by her own lack of abilities in enacting the change she wishes to see. We watch Dany make compromise after compromise until she's had enough and decides to embrace her fire and blood side if it means gaining enough power to exert control over her society and mold it how she sees fit. Even if her intentions began noble, the endless pursuit of greater and greater power, represented by the growing size and danger of her dragons, will be what corrupts her. It's impossible to think that grrm, the guy who's favorite thing to write about is the corrupting nature of violence and the negative impact the exertion of unrestrained power has on the perpetrator, would write a series about how thee most powerful character was actually justified in her pursuit because... she wants to do good? My interpretation of Dany's "fatal flaw" has always been a need to control her surroundings, stemming from the horrific abuse she endured as a child and later wife, and why I think she does have genuine compassion for the enslaved people of Essos; what could be a worse fate than not controlling your own life? And this is where her love of fire and dragons comes from. Dany describes fire as a cleansing force that makes her feel powerful and new, and the dragons are manifestations of her desire for ultimate freedom. While her dragons are quite small and Dany is still coming into her power as queen, we see more restraint in how she fights her battles, how she negotiates, and how she governs, all while wishing her goals of widespread societal change could happen right then. Now that her dragons have grown large and powerful and restless, we will likely see a Dany with far fewer qualms about using them to get what she wants. And after this goes well for her, her restraint will begin to dwindle. After all, if she can use dragon power to instantaneously get what she wants and change things for the better, why should she approach conflicts any other way? But as we've seen with Cersei, fire is a wild, uncontrollable substance that spells destruction wherever it touches. Dany's enemies have all been one note cartoon villains in how evil they are, and every time one gets taken down, it only bolsters our (and Dany's) belief in her righteousness. I think this is very intentional on grrm's part, as part of his whole gimmick and why people like his writing is his incredible ability to add a level of nuance and even empathy to the most minor and despicable characters. I see no reason why that quality should be so utterly lacking in the characters of Essos if not for the fact that grrm very much wants us to cheer Dany on as she crushes her enemies, only to pull the carpet out from under us when suddenly she is face to face with Westerosi characters we know very well, and would prefer not to see die by dragonfire. Season 8 might have been shit, but Tyrion's speech was on point. In short, Dany's desire to exert control via an uncontrollable power will be her downfall.

As for the first question, by "misunderstood villain" I'm assuming we're talking audience perception, in which case... yes and no. I think Dany is a perfectly understandable misunderstood villain because grrm makes a point to show every step of her character's evolution in the transition from frightened girl to possible savior, and finally a tragic villain. Some readers reject the "villain" characterization altogether, and there's really no way to validate one interpretation over the other until TWoW comes out (lol). I will say, I do think most hero-Dany analyses have tunnel vision when it comes to her and an unwillingness to see the writing on the walls, for what a lot of us see as a very slow, well thought out, and GRADUAL corruption arc.

(Sorry if this has been asked already) But how is Etho’s brain similar and different to that of a human, like is Etho capable of comprehending emotions and empathy or is his brain wired differently so he can be a perfect predator or is it somewhat of a balance? How is he intellectually and emotionally?

(no worries I figured you meant him o7 )

Ethos brain is very similar to that of a human's, he's very capable of empathy as well as a wide range of emotions. His current seeming lack of empathy comes more from his own choices rather than a lack of capability. Etho doesn't abide by any moral code, he's only an onlooker when it comes to human social constructs. He has an understanding of human ethics purely from observation. There's nothing wired in his brain specifically for hunting, his intelligence does play a large part in hunting though, usually prefering to trick or stun prey instead of relying purely on raw strength. Intellectually and emotionally speaking his brain differs very little from a human's. I will say though etho does struggle with emotions, especially labeling them, along with having issues when it comes to tone but he's just autistic to me 🫶 can sea critters be autistic idk doesn't matter

Expand more on sugurus selfishness pls 💕💕

So it’s a need for him to take care and love you? <3 also how would he pick his lover and how to love them 👀

Would he never ever leave you even if it’s healthy for you and you’d be happier that way? (Tbh I don’t ever wanna leave him either 🥺❤️)

AHHH WELL…. it’s tough anon….. i feel like calling him selfish almost paints him in a bad light but i truly don’t see his selfishness as a bad thing 😭 suguru’s love is very very tender, but it’s kind of… rooted in his own need for devotion. if that makes sense. suguru craves to care for you, y’know? it’s all about you, yes, but it’s all about you because that’s what he wants… what he needs… he feels complete when you let him love you. he feels happy when you’re happy. so really it’s all about him, but all that’s running through his mind is you you you…. if that? makes sense???

like. at the end of the day. all suguru wants is to be the one who stands at your side. and he will fight for that position, as opposed to someone like gojo who i think would slink into the shadows if he thought it was best for you….. if your relationship was making you miserable then obviously suguru wouldn’t want you to stay, but. the thing is that he does make you happy. he sees it as his duty and it’s not a duty he’d ever give away to someone else, even if they could love you in ways he couldn’t... suguru is determined to be worthy of you!!!! he needs you and he needs to love you, to make you happier than anyone else. it’s a strong, selfish desire but that doesn’t make it bad!!!

this is a gross oversimplification really but in my brain it’s kinda like….. gojo wants you to be happy. and suguru wants to make you happy. you know??

trials and tribulations of being a sports team's social media admin

[stabbyfoxandrew]

My heart is screaming Demon Neil, but my brain keeps me loyal to Angel Neil. The wings, Aerie! The wings are out! Is he flying now? Who was the other angel he met? Kayleigh? (That's Kevin's mother name, right? The brain fog from being sick is killing me, I can't remember shit.) Although, it seems like Demon Neil hasn't been getting the love it deserves, so if you end up not getting any asks for it, I will take you up on it instead. Oohh the reaction demon Neil had about his father. Huuu, powerful. I'm giddy every time I read either of these works. I've also been rly enjoying Mer AU. Are they ever going to swim together? I'm ending my yapping, I hope you've been doing well <3 (And if it wasn't clear my request is Angel Neil, but I'll take Demon Neil if it doesn't get any asks. Or if Angel gets a lot of them, like 4+. Gotta balance the love each gets.)

WIP Wednesday (10/30) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 250)

Andrew's barely finished his question when Neil gets a devious look on his face. Without warning, the angel scoots impossibly forward and crosses his arms in front of him. He kicks off against the side of the building and then he's falling. Andrew grabs for him but it’s too late. His stomach falls with Neil and Andrew scrambles back from the edge of the roof, his heart in his throat.

"NEIL?" Andrew shouts, on hands and knees. There's the sound of enormous wings flapping. Once, twice. Three times. And Neil is there, ten feet away with only his wings holding him up. Andrew's mouth falls open and he moves to sit normally, in awe of the image before him. Neil maintains his hover for a moment, then grins and shoots up into the sky.

A burst of air comes off his wings and flutters Andrew's hair, caresses his face. He watches, looking up, up, up, as Neil soars. He becomes impossibly small the higher he gets, until it seem he's about to disappear. But he doesn't. Andrew watches him make figure-8s up in the sky, leaving contrails in his wake. It's almost like skywriting.

Andrew almost shouts for him to draw something, but doesn't. Instead he just watches in amazement until Neil closes his wings and free-falls towards the parking lot before catching himself and lifting back up until he's able to step onto the roof again. As his feet hit the ground, Andrew's heart leaps. Neil is all smiles and ruddy cheeks and wings.

"That answer your question?" He asks, clearly winded.

Andrew nods, still mesmerized. Somewhere in the back of his mind he wants to bitch at Neil for scaring him like that, but before he can a ring of light appears over Neil's head. It's twice as bright as his wings and Andrew can't look away from it.

He stares up at the angel, completely mesmerized. A wave of happiness and calm rolls over him, unlike anything he's ever felt in his life. It's like being high, but a thousand times better. He feels a smile spread across his face and it's not prescription. It's a real smile.

Neil smiles back and the light gets ever brighter.

"You're so shiny," Andrew whispers, feeling tears prick the corners of his eyes. He blinks to let them fall and new ones take their place. He hardly notices. "So shiny and beautiful."

"Andrew?" The light says, sounding concerned. It shouldn't sound upset. Nothing's wrong. "Andrew, are you alright?"

"...Angel?" Andrew cocks his head to the side. But what's the angel's name? It was right on the tip of his tongue. He thinks.

Wait. What's his name? Does he have one? He thinks so. It's Andrew. That's what the angel called him. It must be right. The angel must be right.

"Andrew? Andrew, hey, snap out of it." The angel says, a panicked edge to his voice. Andrew barely hears him. There's a gasp and a curse and a 'stop!' then all the light disappears with a poof of feathers. At last, the spell breaks and Andrew blinks himself awake just as Neil drops to his knees in front of him. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

Andrew is suddenly disoriented. He feels like he's been yanked out of a dream. A horribly perfect nightmare. Something like adrenaline has his pulse kicking into overdrive and his chest aching like he just ran ten miles.

"Andrew, answer me. You have to answer me. Are you alright?"

Andrew manages a nod.

"With words, Andrew. Words." Neil says. And Andrew blinks hard, then rubs his eyes to find them embarrassingly wet. He roughly wipes his face with his sleeve and clears his throat until he feels confident his voice won't break.

"Yes. I'm fine."

"Fuck, you're not. Can you see?"

"I..." Andrew can't see. Not really. There's a vague outline that's probably Neil, but everything's too bright. Like he'd stared at the sun too long.

"Happy birthday, Andrew," Neil says in a panic. "Fuck. I have to go now. I hope you get that cake you wanted."

"No, don't," Andrew blinks hard and reaches for him. "Neil. Stay, I— Wait, pl—" The Neil-shape vanishes before he can start to beg and Andrew drops his head into his hands, eyes still burning.

what would your characters be like in crossover AUs between your stories? :>

I've surprisingly not considered much in the way of crossover AU's between my own series! I have, however considered one giant crack-fic piece before where all my whumpees are shoved into a basement together (Josh, Declan, Izaak & Henley) as the whumpers all have a little soiree upstairs (Felix, Vince & Ronan) 😈

Ronan would completely idolise Vince and look up to him for insight of how to break down a pet into a mindless subservient. Both Ronan & Vince would be weary and cautious of Felix...they'd be totally and utterly fucking creeped out by him. Felix would not stop rambling on about his perfect Joshy, his lover and soulmate...

Meanwhile, Declan (if not deep in the throes of persuasion) would be inconsolable and cowering. He'd keep deathly quiet, out of sight and out of harms way - he'd be petrified of anyone and everyone and wouldn't trust a soul. Izaak wouldn't help the matter, he'd be laughing and making cruel remarks about him. Josh and Henley would offer him security and friendship, and try to pull him out of his shell. They would all exchange stories of their captors, and even Izaak would be shaken to the core to discover that vampires are real, and how powerful they truly are...

I imagine Felix convincing Vince to use persuasion on Josh... just for a taste of it 👀 of complete and utter submission without question or thought. Felix tells Vince the command, and Vince relays it to Josh. Declan would plead for Josh at the first flicker of fear in his eyes. Henley and Izaak would exchange a panicked glance.

There would just be a lot of mix-n-match, connections and dynamics 👀 I'd love to think about it properly!

[helenofblackthorns]

Andrew Blackthorn is a very... perplexing character to me because we know next to nothing about him but all his kids seemed to like him as a dad... and yet some of the only things we do know about him are that he a) gave Helen & Mark childhood trauma via Keats instead of having a normal conversation and b) he used to restrain Ty in order to "train him" to the point it made him throw up. like idk if there's a particular intention behind his character being good or bad (in general) but I definitely hate him lmao

[bothzangetsus]

what are your thoughts on ichigo being an almost all forgiving guy, who is never angry or rancorous? he forgives urahara after soul society by saying ‘you did nothing wrong’, he told isshin to talk to him whenever he was ready in fake karakura after he appeared as a shinigami and then later on ten thousand years he was shown undestanding at the fact that his whole heritage was hidden to him, he forgot omz for lying to him, went to soul society to recover ginjou’s body even after what he and tsukishima did to him, and is shown as someone who can work with past enemies (like grimmjow, who blew a hole in rukia’s body on their very first meeting). at this point, kindness to the point of absurdity seems to be a theme in his character.

I SO desperately need to know what inspired this! Because, well, my first thought was-- Ichigo, never angry? Kind to the point of absurdity??? Him?????

That said, it did make me do some quick leafing through the manga! Without a full, careful reread I can't be sure, but I think the only time we saw him direct anger at a friend was right after Rukia gave him back his powers in Lost Agent. We get this scene:

Where he shouts at Uryuu to, well, STFU. And nothing else!

However, I would still shy away from using the word 'kind' -- not because I think he's unkind, we saw how he treats the little ghost kid, and how he even became friends with Chad, etc, but because I think it's the wrong framing. Or rather, I think it's descriptively inadequate. What is his lack of response born of? Is it really just... endless kindness? Not likely, because we don't see him display endless kindness when someone he deems wrong shows up. I believe his reactions (or lack thereof, I suppose) mostly depend on if something stands as an obstacle to him getting what he wants or not -- which, phrased like that, sounds like the opposite of kindness! -- except, what he wants most, and he repeatedly tells us so, is to have enough power to 1) protect others, 2) shatter fate. What would he get angry at Soul Society (Yamamoto, Ukitake, etc.) for? Their machinations still allow him to have his Soul Reaper powers. What would he get angry at Isshin for? He's part of the group Ichigo is trying to protect! I am not suggesting that this is a healthy reaction, to be clear, just that -- well, I think he's a character who is simultaneously endlessly selfish and selfless, because his ultimate desire, which he never ceases to follow, just happens to be a generally altruistic one.

Now, I do genuinely think he's not particularly revenge-minded, which is interesting on its own. It's a surprisingly healthy outlook where protectiveness does not come with possessiveness, even if it occasionally comes with underestimating friends' abilities. I don't know if that comes from forgiveness, honestly? The canon moments I can think of, again, without a deep careful reread:

Fighting Byakuya. Of course, this was a retaliation, but it was more about 'teaching' him to be a better older brother than about revenge.

Renji. This was about a personal rematch as much as it was about Rukia.

Grimmjow fight one: there was instant reaction when he put his hand through Rukia's body for sure.

Gj fight two: this was about personal pride.

Gj fight three: we can pretend this is about saving Orihime, but it's about personal pride too.

Second rematch with Ulquiorra - well ummm lowkey this is about personal pride as well, but it has more interesting panels!

However it does also have instant reaction when Loly grabs Orihime

Which is... arguably much more emotional than he was against Ulquiorra! And Ulquiorra hurt many more people -- during his first introduction back in Karakura, endlessly through keeping Orihime there, through punching a hole in Ichigo's chest, etc.

I would argue that the majority of these are still about personal pride. Does the existence of this person, does him fighting against them, help him by proving his strength or aiding him in getting more power? He had told us - it's meaningless to just live, it's meaningless to just fight, he wants to win. If nobody is in danger Right That Second, the desire to win and grow more powerful seems to overpower past slights. Is that forgiving? I don't know. I'm not being snide here, I genuinely do not know -- I figure how much of these actions is a positive vs. something dangerous and better-avoided is up to individual interpretation, and how much each person weighs intention vs. results vs. the possible (dire!) consequences (which did not happen in canon, but just as easily could have.)

Then we have 7. Killing Ginjo then asking for his body back. I think this was a stand -- how much is Soul Society willing to acquiesce to? How rigid are their rules still -- do they need to keep the material body of someone who posed danger to them, even if he currently no longer does so? How much respect are they willing to afford a Substitute?

And 8. OMZ. Ah... That is straightforward forgiveness! It was in line with Zanpakutou spirits worldbuilding & the arc set up, I think -- we got hundreds of chapters about his denial, so that was meant to be the final moment of acceptance. Now... Is that acceptance warranted? For White Zangetsu, I think yes. For OMZ, I suspect the answer is going to be no for a lot of people, and I fully understand that, and honestly, narratively, I also think it's a no. It needed more chapters rather than OMZ peacing out immediately. But ethically... does it conflict with Ichigo's own ethics?

Well, actually, I think the answer is yes here, too! Look at how badly he reacted to White Zangetsu initially, all based on the assumption that he's dangerous (and thus he, too, will become dangerous), and we know for a fact that OMZ *is* dangerous. I do think this forgiveness is the natural thematic endpoint, and IMO it should have split up the reveal & his power-up for the pacing to make sense, but that's a separate discussion. My point being, this is the only instance I can think of where forgiveness for the sake of forgiveness was handed out, and it was, in a way, against himself.

All of this is more or less my clumsy attempt to say that no, I don't think he's kind to the point of absurdity :D There's this constant contradiction between pretty self-serving actions and the fact that the personal motivations do end up quite public-spirited. I do however think that he is more empathetic than he's given credit for!
