Hi! I hope it's if ask three questions together: 21, 5 and 8 for that delightful fandom ask 💕

in that order!

21. a fandom you're not active in anymore but that you still really like

Oh, tricky! What does it mean to really like a fandom. I have so much affection for most of the ones I've been active in, but at the same time it's often the fandom rather than the source material I used up my enthusiasm for and departed.

Yu Yu Hakusho, maybe? I posted a lot of like, character study bits on ffdotnet for it back in high school and I often think if the fandom was more active I might circle back to it with my more developed writing chops.

I have a lot of beef with some of the fandom's conventions around shipping though so I may not be able to fairly say I love it.

Maybe Trigun. I couldn't get through episode one of the new anime though because they took my Millie, so I failed to join the renaissance.

5. something you see in fics a lot and love

Also hard! Just for the broad scope of the kinds of things that are in fics. But haha, I'm not responsible for figuring out the the intended thrust of the vague question! There are no penalties if I guess wrong!

I really like the bit in a fic when the writer ties their story down to the canon mid-stream. It's such a distinctive feeling, there's a practically kinetic gestural motion to it, that you can often sense it in fics you've never read the canon for. It works basically the same in contexts where you're tying your narrative to an existing non-copyrighted mythos, or doing your diligence as the writer of a licensed sequel. It's the narrative equivalent of showing your sources and flaunting your tailfeathers. The most basic level is just making a point of including Emotionally Significant Plot Object without feeling the need to re-explain its significance in detail because we all know, but it can get so elaborate.

The other day I was reading this fairly high-concept fantasy novel that's quite well done but I can't decide if I like it or not, and it started becoming clear around the halfway mark that one of the major characters had been Merlin this whole damn time and I hooted in satisfaction and outrage every time a new piece of confirmation dropped. Same kind of deal.

Anyway fic creates so much space to do elaborate things with the relationship-to-source-material and I love seeing people have fun with it.

8. you hope more people will come to appreciate _ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

Hm. How beautifully fucked up Jiang Cheng is? This man is suffering so much and he's reasonably self-aware about it and this does not help in the least.

I think the self-awareness makes it worse, actually, because it means he's constantly on the brink of confronting the things he can't let himself think about straight on or he will have a massive fucking breakdown that he cannot afford.

Not enough recognition for how 90 percent of the time when Jiang Cheng is being awful he very clearly knows he's being awful and he kind of hates that and hates himself and is aware that his mom and dad issues are major drivers of this behavior. And none of that means he's able to stop.

It's such a unique hell. Appreciate.

I don't know why that was the first thing I thought of and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the kind of wish that was intended, but here we are.

[strafepanzer]

weese u were insane for writing haze fr!! that fic is my roman empire gahhh ur brain is so wet and wrinkly it kinda drives me crazy

PLS NOTHING HAS EVEN HAPPENED YETTTT

ur so so sweet; just know a full fic is in progress and it's one i'm always adding too bc shinbaku is such an amazing dynamic imo

[mogai-sunflowers]

i am maiming, mauling, and biting that anon for you.

why do people gotta be so hateful, you can literally just block someone and not say anything about it.

whenever I get anon hate I feel like i have to do mental math to figure out what kind of person it’s coming from. is it because I’m mogai? a bi lesbian? queer? aspec? have paraphilic disorders? hate radqueers? i can never tell so it’s kinda funny trying to pin down why I’m getting hate. Most times I can never tell though 😂

[aqours]

I don't know you too well, but you seem really cool and smart and have a lot of based takes! :3

!!!

[destinationtoast]

sometimes when im sad i think about cyrano!jamie being the Greatest Detective of All Time, truly the most sly and discreet matchmaker ever, and it instantly makes me smile. ;) il his dumb ass so much.

😭😭😭

omg, what a great thing to hear! thank you. <3

I love his dumb ass so much, too! I'm getting ready to send another chapter off for beta feedback, and I hope cyrano!jamie will be bringing you more joy soon... though he may have hung up his detective hat for the time being. :)

[remyfire]

re: punnihawk and SITR have you read “you were meant for me” by onekisstotakewithme??

Not yet!! I actually only read my first fic in the fandom maybe two weeks ago? And a week after, I completely stopped because I already had the plot bunny in my head that's led to Scratching The Itch (and what I hope will be its subsequent sequels) and I wanted to get a lot of it down on paper before I went back to fanfic so I wouldn't be influenced by what I read others writing.

But you'd better believe I'll put it on my list :) I have so much I wanna read!!

[wrathful-reptile]

Wow. I'm famous

I'm celebrity

I'm ✨fabulous✨

[tonycries]

Okay but what about inexperienced! Choso who doesn’t understand the concept of women’s orgasms and only thinks squirting = cumming so he ends up overstimulating you 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Inexperienced Choso! who reads up on how to make you squirt for hours and hours and hours until he has that damn WikiHow page MEMORIZED.

Inexperienced Choso! who makes you reach your high five times straight before he manages to make you squirt - such sweet relief splashing over his face n' he just smiles. "F-finally made you cum, baby."

Inexperienced Choso! who doesn't regret a single thing. Not. A. Single. Thing. Even when you teach him the difference (similarities, more like) between cumming and squirting. Probably does it all over again. too.

[shiganshinaslut]

thinking abt tighnari using his vision in bed 😩 like him using his vision to tie you down with vines, so you don’t squirm too much while he’s fucking into you so rough and needy.

18+||MINORS DNI

OH MY GOD...needy and rough Tighnari is my absolute favorite I’m so weak. Him tying your wrists above your head with vines and grabbing onto your hips, roughly pushing them down while he fucks into you. He tells you to stay still, to be good for him, but it’s so hard when he’s fucking you so deep you swear you can feel him in your stomach :(

OR OR- Tighnari using his vines to tie your wrists behind your back so he can fuck you from behind with your face pushed into the pillow :( You can’t do anything but whimper and cry while he slams his hips into yours so forcefully. He leans over, pressing your bodies together and says “I know I’m being rough but you can take it, can’t you? That’s right, good job..”

[satoruxx]

are we going to see megumi in toji hybrid au… the dynamic between the three of them would be so cute!! both wolves fighting for readers attention!! baby megumi with small ears and small paws :((

I REFUSE TO SPOIL ANYTHING SO IM IGNORING THE FIRST PART OF YOUR QUESTION BUT ILY :333 (i feel like me ignoring it gives it away tho....rip)

anyways YEAH megumi def inherits toji’s protective ass attitude so you bet he’s taking over when his dad isn’t around.

he's seen his dad walk around with you, the terrifying guard dog on high alert as his green eyes glare at anything that moves near you. megumi has noticed the way people hesitate to approach you bc of toji, and how toji seems to enjoy that. and soon enough megumi understands why—it's a fantastic way to keep you to himself. so absolutely he's gonna follow in his father's footsteps.

except... he's literally too cute to be intimidating <///3 don’t tell him that tho he’s trying so hard to be a big scary wolf like his dad :((

megumi will get grumpy at anyone who has your attention, glaring over your shoulder as you walk through the supermarket if he notices their eyes on you. especially if it’s a man. what can he say, his dad has raised him well. it just…doesn’t usually have the desired effect. most of the time he’s met with soft coos and squeals when he tries to mimic his dad’s aggressive behavior.

(little munchkin with furry ears and pointed teeth.)

it irritates him, because he wants to be like toji in this regard.

but when he’s competing with his dad??? oh all the loyalty is gone. the two of them are always clinging to you, eager for attention like the big puppies they are. megumi has inherited toji's aggresiveness, but he's much more casual about it. even as a lil baby he will find sneaky ways to pull you away from toji, and that just irks the older wolf.

he tries saying anything and you're just like ????? which is exactly what megumi wants LMAO :33

toji just has to sit there and sulk bc obviously gumi is your lil baby and you're gonna show him all the attention he wants. just don't be surprised if your bigger wolf ends up grumpy and brooding—he hates sharing. it's so funny though bc they're both so sneaky so you'll just be caught between their schemes to get you to show them affection.

but whatever. like father like son after all :33

[kazzattack]

make-up sex with Dick has been rotting in my mind lately :P

make up sex w/ ex bf!dick grayson… bc if i’ve noticed anything about him? he’s besties with all of his exes. like. every single one of them. he’d try to be particularly close with you because he’s not over you at all. still thinking about you 24/7, still wants to see you, definitely still wants to fuck you, all that good stuff. what’s pissing him off is that you’re sick of him. and because i’m you’re petty, you decide against blocking him just to let him know you’re choosing to see him and ignore him. you read all his stupid ass messages, he can still see your posts, and he knows you’re doing shit to piss him off. because nothing irks his soul more than being ignored, much less ignored by you. luckily enough, nothing’s stopping him from knocking on your door after texting you that he’s “coming back for his hoodie.” because duh, you kept all of those too.

you open the door against your better judgement and it’s obvious he has a few intentions once you get a good look at the flimsy tank top and sweats. “hi,” he smiles to hide the impatience in his voice.

“hi,” you respond with condescension and move to close the door in his face.

“you’re being a dick,” the smile easily fades as he catches the door with a quick hand, “just let me in.”

and against your better judgement, you do.

now he’s snooping around, and quite effectively, finding a way to dig through drawers and piles of clothes even though he’s spotted a hoodie or two out the corner of his eye. come to think of it, he’s interrogating you. asking you about that party from friday, that one guy he saw on your story, anything he can get. hell, he’ll go as far as to flash you a new pair of panties while he’s looking, asking who’re you getting all pretty for? now you’re irritated too, not giving him any of the invasive answers he’s looking for. you two go back and forth for god knows how long, all the way until he’s got you against a wall and muttering fuck you under your breath, followed by a clever remark of I thought you’d never ask.

finally, his hands are back on you. he can finally grab a hold of your face and get his tongue back down your throat after a long ass month of nothing. nothing like you, at least. “you’re such a little shit,” he groans and you laugh at him, letting him wrestle your legs around his torso and carry you to the bed. as if you could have fought against it anyway. he’s depraved of you, already groping your tits and ass after grinding his thigh into your clothed cunt. it’s almost as if he hasn’t fucked since the last time he had you. still feeling a little cruel, you tease, “those other girls just didn’t do it for you, huh?”

“there weren’t any other girls.”

“yeah right,” you force out a giggle to ignore the guilt.

“I’m serious. been waiting on you to cut the bullshit so I could fuck this cunt again.” his hand’s already eased under the waistband of your shorts to circle your clit and you moan right into his ear. “don’t need any other girl when i’ve got a whore right here, just for me, right?”

he sucks a hickey into the underside of your breast before flipping you over, seemingly back to his regular self. you’re easily repositioned face down and ass up, helping him pull your shorts all the way down. fuck, you missed him. the way he palms your ass and forces you against his cock, debating on whether he should really fuck you or just hump you til you’re begging for his cock and he’s coming in his boxers.

“already fucking me back,” he moans from behind you and it’s brought to your attention that you’re the one grinding on his dick through fabric. you can’t bring yourself to be ashamed of it though, keening when the next time you feel him there’s no barrier between you and the tip of his cock is slipping into your pussy. normally he’d be all sensual, rub at your cunt til it’s all messy and leaking before fucking you, but this time around it’s like he has no time for it. he’d rather force the arch in your back further into the mattress and fuck you full, have you whine into the pillows and beg for more of his cum like he knows you want to.

“still want me to get out?” he’s muttering into your ear after pulling your hair, knowing by now you’re too fucked out to give him some smart-ass remark. all you can give him are those whorish moans he hasn’t heard for so long as you cum on his cock for the third time. he’s skipped the theatrics he loves to fuck you deep and give you a good reminder that this is what you broke up with.

hi so what qualities do you think dean admires about sam and vice versa would like to know your thoughts

Love your meta btw as a new spn fan

Hi Nonny, tysm for the ask!

I haven't thought a ton about this question prior to now, so I'm interested in other people's opinions too if they want to add them on reblog. But it seems to me that the 'what does Dean admire about Sam' half of the question is pretty easily answered, because Dean isn't shy with his praise of Sam in canon.

He's also not shy with his criticism, of course, and I think this is because some of the things he admires most about Sam are the same things that are dangerous to him personally. My favorite recap is in the finale:

And there's this from 15.11:

Dean says similar things in other episodes, going way back to 1.11, which the finale speech is practically a word for word recap of:

I think Dean legitimately believes all this; that Sam is better than him in practically every way-- smarter, more compassionate, more optimistic, possessed of a better moral compass (usually), more skilled in a variety of ways, etc. And especially that Sam is healthier than him; more of a complete, autonomous human being who would be fully able to live a "normal" life if circumstances were right, whereas he, Dean, would not be. By "you're stronger than me" (which he also tells Sam before he goes to Hell in s3) he means "capable of independence".

I have decidedly ambivalent feelings about the "Dean is Sam's Parent" reading of spn, but I do think this is a very parental type of admiration; both because of the 'I'm proud' piece and because 'I raised you to be able to outlive me' is maybe a parent's primary responsibility second only to unconditional love. And I think it's realistic and sympathetic that Dean admires these traits in Sam while simultaneously fighting tooth and nail to undermine Sam ever actually becoming fully independent as long as Dean's alive (and until the finale, even afterwards). "You're better than me; don't leave me" is honestly extremely relatable.

R.e. the 'what does Sam admire in Dean' part of the question, I think that's more complicated to explain, and I'm especially interested in what other fans think about this part. I think obviously if someone asked Sam what he admires in Dean, he'd be able to run off a list of traits. And he does sometimes mention traits he finds admirable in Dean, like in 8.14 where he says "You're not a grunt, Dean. You're a genius" and says Dean is a better hunter than either himself or their father.

But for the core of what I think Sam feels about Dean that's in the same, idk, synonym group ig, as 'admiration', I don't think 'admires' really covers it very well. It's almost more like worships. He thinks, quite simply, that Dean is good. And since he thinks that he, Sam, is fundamentally not good, he sees Dean as the final arbiter of, well, everything. Sam thinks Sam could never go on a quest like Galahad, but although it's never specifically mentioned, I think its pretty clear he believes Dean could.

I think Sam feels about Dean the way I think deeply religious people--not the kind that mouth platitudes but the kind that have really struggled with and thought long and hard about their faith--feel about God. He knows Dean makes mistakes, he knows Dean is deeply fucked up in many ways, he yells at and argues with Dean and goes behind Dean's back and lies to him and etc, all because he does truly understand that Dean's decisions are, on a practical level, sometimes honestly pretty messed up. But he also has an unshakable faith that where he, Sam, might make bad choices because he's bad, Dean will struggle but ultimately always eventually choose correctly, even if one of the steps along the way is chopping Sam's head off with Death's scythe. Because Dean is good. Sam fans (myself included) will look back on the panic room and think "wow Dean sure was living up to the family-is-hell premise on that one", but Sam will look back on it and think "he saved me".

ur henna tattoo idea got me thinking thoughts for zayne. like imagine just sitting next to him or cuddling or something and he's just absentmindedly tracing the lines of the henna on the back of ur hand and around ur wrist KSJXJSXNSJX

a/n: i live for this. this is brilliant. I love henna. I love doing my henna. I love the idea of doing my partner's henna and having them match or connect. I love the idea of Zayne tracing your henna cause its just so pretty, the way it follows the veins that he's followed with his lips countless times. Please. Tell me more anon. an ee wayz-

9:26

The bed dipped from the added weight as Zayne got in beside you, his hair towel dried but the evidence of his shower in his pink-tinged cheeks from the heat of the water.

Setting his glasses aside on the nightstand, he reaches over to your side for the lamp to turn it off, but hesitates. "Thank you for cooking tonight," his voice is soft, appreciative. You nod, almost dozing off until he takes your hands in his, his eyes following the swirls and lines, the dots and petals, and the one oddly shaped, probably experimental (or really, too much came out of the cone and it got stopped up, coming out weird) part. You couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a flower or a cookie with how it filled in, but it was much too late to fix it; it stained and wouldn't come off for about a week if Zayne ended up doing all the dishes for you (which he probably would, just so it could stay as long as it can). "Beautiful," "Thank you," "Of course,"

His index trails along one of the vines that swirled to the inside of your wrist, its end curling at your pulse point. You see the corners of his lips lifting gently. He kisses your wrist, his thumb caressing the back of your hand before examining the other one.

His touch was soft and gentle, the tip of his nail feather-light as it grazed your skin comfortingly.

You stay like that for some time, watching his lashes kiss his cheeks when he blinks, his hand trailing along, absentmindedly, like it was his second nature to do so.

He then pauses, then lifts your left hand. "Took your ring off?" "Just while it dried. I set it back in the jewelry box-"

Zayne sets your hand down, and you watch him get out of bed, feet softly padding across the floor as he retrieves your ring, coming back quietly- around the bed to your side first- and slipping it back on, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.

You grin, opening your mouth to tease him, but then- "Last time you took your ring off when you did your henna you couldn't find it for a week."

Then he turned off the lamp and got into bed. And you were no longer drowsy.

[harmonysanreads]

I'm happy to report that Mydei's personality in your yandere arranged marriage fic is basically spot on, absolutely thrilled to see your vision come to life🎉🎊

I wonder if some hyv employee is secretly spying this account lol like, Moze, Sunday and now Mydei? :I /silly

His entrance was exactly how I wanted it to be and I thoroughly enjoyed watching his beef with Phainon. I assume they'll elaborate more on his development since he's to be released next patch and I don't think Phainon will succeed Nikador at all.

I find the differences between Phainon and Mydei very interesting despite them both being warriors. Mydei's taciturn and seemingly ill-tempered personality in juxtaposition with Phainon's much more optimistic and amiable one. Yet, it's actually Mydei who is more reasonable and level-headed than Phainon who has still not found ‘himself’.

Mydei is not a brainless brute at all, rather, he's sorting through his priorities. It would be nice if we could learn how he was in his childhood, but we'll have to wait for it. Him getting the Herculean backstory was not something I expected ngl but it makes sense. He's had a rough life.

[heavysighing-dreamyeyes]

I've been seeing a couple of monster!Jason and reader, with reader still loving him no matter what.

Look, I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I'm offering this: Monster! reader and Jason Todd.

It's not really a request, I'm just sharing a little bit of a brainrot that I got somewhere while reading a couple of your fics. Sorry if this is too long, you don't have to read all of this.

So in the interval where Jason died - came back as Red Hood, reader was either a vigilante or a scientist working on a project that should have the security system updated or something. An accident happens and reader transforms into a mostly mindless beast that drives on instinct.

I'm saying mostly, because they can still recognize some faces or are aware of their situation to a certain extent but they can't really do anything to stop it.

So when Jason comes back as Red Hood and suddenly finds out his crush/ significant other got turned into a monster, the first thing he does is searching for you (if you aren't already confined in a prison or used as some kind of guard dog, this is Gotham, I can actually picture one of the rogues - mob bosses doing something like that). Jason takes off the helmet (after making sure no one is watching) hoping that reader could somehow recognize him and surprise, surprise, they do. Like, they are going full blown attack and suddenly freeze last second, recognizing the boy they always loved, changed, yet the same at the same time.

So monster!reader becomes tame at the presence of Jason, almost like a puppy or a very affectionate housecat while Jason takes care of reader while searching for a way to cure them and bring them back to their original form while also pampering them as best as they can.

I'm mostly picturing this out with werewolf!reader, but hell, I feel reader can be an eldritch horror abomination and still be all soft with Jason. I mean who wouldn't.

Anyways, sorry if this is too long, but if you read all of this then thank you so much. Your writings are really inspiring and I hope you are taking care of yourself. Stay safe.

Nonnie, pleassse, you never have to apologize for length or asks like this because I always adore seeing everyone's ideas. And this one is just fantastic!! Seriously, I love the idea of Jason seeing past the appearance of a 'monster', the same way you would for him!

Off the top of my head, @/sanguineterrain has something vaugley like this called Angel of Small Death, where the reader is a shadow monster! I literally want to sink my teeth into that fic every time I think about it. (If you're looking for a fic rec)

Now, I'm actually going crazy at the idea that maybe you got a little too involved in your lab project, and something goes wrong, and you're more or less in a ManBat situation. Being the equivalent of a werewolf is hard, and you're mostly focused on food, staying warm, and plain survival.

If you end up sinking your teeth into a few goons with less than pure intentions of getting you under their bosses control, you don't think anyone can blame you. You're not sure how long you've been like this now, really, could be days, could be years. You mostly stick to alleys, the docks, and the sewers if you have to, even if the smell hurts you sharpened senses.

But it's your heightened smell that shakes your usually cloudy and reactive mind. Not even your tendency to act more wolf than person can keep you from recognizing Jason, even under the new, shiny helmet. He takes it off any way, ever cautious, and offers you food, water. But he didn't need to do any of that to get you to follow him to his base.

Red Hood 'taming' the Wolf of Gotham is feat that sends shock waves through the cites underbelly. But Jason, for his part, could care less about what people think of it. His one priority when it comes to you is to help you get back to yourself. (And if he needs to hand scrub your fur, file your claws, and wash you down with a hose, he will, in fact, do that)

And it turns out you are a very good guard dog! You chase off Batman, snarl at and attack the assassins Black Mask hires and rehires. But you're an even better lap dog, especially when Red Hood scratches your ears just right. Being a wolf is still hard, but at least you have someone who really cares about you to see you through it.

(Jason does believe in letting pets/friends turned into werewolves sleep on the bed. Even if you'll be embarrassed about it once he finds a way to turn you human again)

[seijorhi]

Currently rereading All In - hypothetically, Ushi never snaps, and everyone manages to conceal any red flags/yandere tendencies long enough for Aya and reader to both join the pack (basically if they managed to stick to the original plan)

What happens? I assume things would still devolve over time, but any thoughts on how that would go? Delicious writing and characterization as always.

once they bite aya, it's over. she's permanently bound to the pack, tethered to them emotionally, yes, but also – and more importantly – unable to put distance between them because the bond sickness won't just incapacitate her, it'll slowly but surely kill her.

fundamentally, the pack dynamic cannot work. whether it takes days or weeks, eventually the alphas' jealousy and possessiveness wins out – they can't (and won't) abide her presence around their beta. it's untenable.

so they remove the omega from the equation.

aya's continued health and wellbeing hinges on her proximity to the alphas, and therefore if their sweet beta wants her friend to remain (somewhat) happy and (somewhat) healthy, she'll do exactly as she's told and be a good little mate to her alphas.

they'll tell her that if she's really, really well behaved, they might even let her go and visit her old friend.

and surely they wouldn't lie about something like that.
