Down on his luck and scrambling for survival, Shigaraki Tomura was just looking for a place to score a hot meal.

Instead, he ended up scoring a hot date.

--- "You want gravy?" You asked, waggling the ladle of onion sauce enticingly, some of it sloshing over the edge of the spoon and falling back into the pot with a wet squelch. Tomura glared at the chunky sauce disdainfully before closing his eyes and sighing.

"Whatever."

"Gravy it is!" You cheer, pouring the sauce over the meat patty before passing it to him. "There you go! A hunk of meat for my favorite hunk."

--- A slow, domestic romance between a volunteer at a soup kitchen and the newly destitute leader of a notorious villain organization.

NAME : dan!!

PRONOUNS : he/him

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : tumblr im. discord. passenger pigeon. I'm very slow sometimes but you should plot with me!!

NAME OF MUSE(s) : clair, cynthia, barry, jupiter/eris + so many mooore (how did it come to this? LMAO)

BEST EXPERIENCE(S) : dedicating this section to both ash (@analuein) and aya (@distortsverity)! ash and I have been writing together for infinity years right here on tumblr. no matter the muse, it's always a blast spinning up plots and watching the magic unfold from there with her. from thorton to violet, to noland and clair. from wildencounters to indie. it's been a fantastic ride. day one. 😎

I transitioned from group rp to indie a few years ago and--at the time--I was all alone. I had no connections, just a lonely barry blog to my name. I wrote drabbles by myself in the dark for two weeks until aya came across my blog with her hikari, and everything just clicked. aya made me feel included, reached out with ideas, plots and feedback, and showed love to barry and all of my muse(s)--and to this day, I still feel TREMENDOUSLY grateful for the helping hand when I felt so isolated. I definitely would not still be writing here without her.

since then, I've had an amazing time here. writing with so many different people, muses, and groups--it's all so good. my best experiences happen when I'm writing (or even plotting) with someone, and everything just works, flows, and fits together and I can just feel that shared excitement. that feeling that we're building a great story together. that's magical. that's why I'm still around, trying new muses, diving headlong into amazing plots/dynamics, letting my imagination run wild, and--as always--writing a lot. much love to EVERYONE who has helped keep that fire burning over the years, but especially ash and aya for giving that flame a chance in the first place. tysm. ❤️

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : it's been said, but--on a personal level--I wish private communication would happen more, specifically when it comes to interest levels. my time is becoming more and more limited here (sad as that is) and I have always written at a slower, longer pace. so, given how fast this place moves, I would appreciate knowing if a thread has grown stale, or if something's off.

I'm flexible. I'd like to think that I'm pretty laid-back. I want you to have fun, and you need to drop or backburner our thread because life, interest, etc. that's okay. I promise. I also don't mind reminders about cold threads or overdue replies on my end. if that's the case, please let me know right away, and I'll pick it back up or let you know my thoughts. we can try new things, or not. just let me know what you'd like to do, and we can adjust from there. that being said, lack of time or muse =/= lack of interest. I get that. you never need to rush a reply with me, and I will always (for better or worse) assume interest is still there unless told otherwise by you. I'm no herlock sholmes. (I wish I was...)

so, as a courtesy, I'd ask to please talk to me if something's wrong. if you feel the need to drop our thread or aren't interested in an interaction and/or want to start fresh. I won't be upset (quote me on that.) I just want to make sure that the writing vibes are still good, and I want to spend my time here writing things that you (and others) are still into. and in the end, it's not really a big deal--this place is great and I adore my past/present/future thread partners--but it's something that I would appreciate!

(also since I haven't made it clear before: no AI with me, please. let's meet at the same level.)

MUSE PREFERENCES: strong women and brash, sunshiney dudes. (I'll really try anyone, but I certainly have types 😊)

PLOTS OR MEMES : whatever's easier for you to get in the door with--c'mon in!! I don't find myself with the time to reblog many memes lately, but my inbox/IMs are always open for spot interactions, and I'll do a lil' starter call here and there!!

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : I don't mind receiving either, but I always tend to lose myself in the sauce and write a lot oops. you never have to match my length. as long as we're writing together, that's chill enough for me!

BEST TIME TO WRITE : my healthcare job is killing me. I'll try to sneak on for some stuff here and there, but I'm most active during evening/nighttime CST US. confirmed night time scrawler. 🦉

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : some common threads linking all of my muses to me is the fact that we always want to be active, we have (too) high expectations of ourselves, we grew up and are still growing up, and we spend too much time working (and loathe it LMAO)

For the WIP ask meme (tysm for the tag), you had me at 'political drama.txt' but I'm also very curious about 'gruffgriff' and Hawke rising from the trash??? Any of those, any combination, or whatever you feel like sharing I will be on like pigeons swarming half a discarded sandwich, pls and thank.

that's really kind of you to say so! 'political drama' is the vaguuuest. there's a lot of arranged marriage fics in fandom and i wanted one that fully leant into the court intrigue angle rather than the romance angle.

i love a particular genre of story that's like, an outsider comes into a poisonous and decadent court and struggles to rise to the top in the hope of reform it/sabotaging it from within against overwhelming odds while also struggling to hold onto their idealism and sense of right vs wrong amidst the scheming and the murdering. at the same time, people are getting dicked down.

this particular .txt is just vague outlines for a proposed series of stories covering the Intrigue, the cyber equivalent of a napkin at a bar with SOTRY: fuckingggggg written on it after a few glasses of your bev of choice. I STILL WANT A COURT INTRIGUE FIC but i have accepted that i would be writing it for an audience of like, five, because people on the whole read arranged marriages for the will they/won't they romance not the actual experience of government, which is a toss up between sausage factory gristle & gore and simultaneously armando iannucci death-of-stalin farce with grown men bickering about the symbolic arrangement of funereal flowers. :sob:

the thing about it was, it had been fun. he had been young and he had been in love and he had wanted, genuinely, to try and change the nature of the fire nation government - to dig deep into the depths of its machinery, pull apart its pistons and boilers and hissing steam valves, its ambition and appetites and pride - but he was a smart man, and at the end of the day, he had been pitting his mind against other smart people, and it had been fun. until (spoiler thing) had happened, and people had died.

"hawke rising from the trash" is one of the published ones! it turned into "a toast to distant friends", a story about varric + hawke's shitty gift choices.

as for gruffgriff, i signed up to a fenris & anders focused big bang a few years ago, somehow failing to realise this was a stupid idea when i don't care much for fenders and that was what a specifically fenris + anders big bang was inevitably gonna feature heavily, and was assigned a pic of the two of them on a gryphon. i took like six different attempts to start a story before giving up and withdrawing from the big bang (mikke wrote a much better story for the same prompt anyway so the artist wasn't left bereft). with this one i think the idea was to have anders having never left the wardens and then for fenris to enter the story in carver's place, having contracted the taint on the deep roads expedition? i kept the opening because i thought it could be used for something else but [laughs bitterly in writer's block].

The cavernous mess hall of the Warden base in the Anderfels could seat, with comfort, almost a thousand people if pressed. Here, within its sandstone walls and under the watchful eye of the First Warden, the Warden-heroes of ages gone had sat and made merry and celebrated victories without counting; had raised toasts to whole legions of the glorious dead before and after battles upon which the fate of Thedas hung; had been filled to the imposing rafters with the sound of an army of men determined to pretend, at least for a little while, that they were not, eventually, functionally, dead men. That the hall currently contained only Anders, Riordan and Stroud was a sad commentary on the state of the Order.

Hey! Tell me about your favorite things!

AAA HEY! oh cheese n rice I didn't study for this and it takes me forever to reply to everything ever but my power is out so HERE WE GO UMHMHMHM

💜🩵🤎🖤🤍 <- these colors? S tier.

Data hoarding (esp web 1.0). Swimming used to be my favorite outdoor activity but it's a bummer doing it alone. I write and dabble in digital art for fun but I struggle a lot with sharing.

I love the smell of the ocean. Hopefully one day I can return to Cornwall and get a good sniffa in on Merlin's Cave. I almost got stuck in there at high tide, but I gotta say it smelled delightful while I hopskipped for my life.

Teeth are also neat! I have intimate experience. It's so neat that we have bones on the outside.

Also fish. Fish people. Fictional fish people. Eridan. What're we talking about

🦀 Animals: seahorse, opossum, kiwi bird, cephalopods, crows and pigeons bc they're smart af and know no fear, chickens bc they have so much personality... man I'm all about the animal kingdom's weirdest n silliest lil fellas.

🕹️ Games: JUST GOT A ROG ALLY SO I BE GAYMIN!! Currently playing Stardew Valley, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Fallout New Vegas! Some all-time faves: Zelda, Zero Escape, BioShock, Fallout, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Bugsnax, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga... One of my besties got me into Vintage Story, which I can't recommend enough, even if it's been a bit since I updated our multiplayer server. I should defs get on that... Anyway I friggin adore games that focus on story and exploration! I'm a slut for environmental storytelling, like object clutter... Oh!!! Also surreal and psychological horror! But like if monsters are involved I'd prefer to be dating them ya feel me?

🫐 Food: blueberries, blue powerade zero bc regular tastes funny, cheese, jerky, pickles, cheesecake, tarts, fish (cooked or raw, in general tbh, Cajun cooking means tons of wet critters yumyum). Anything spicy or sour or with a dash of acidity for balance! I can't handle too much sweetness and prefer more tart or fruity snackies.

...

AND MORE!

Just now realizing I reeeaaally let this get away from me so I'll try to wrap this up IM SO SORRY TYSM FOR ASKING! ;u; On an unrelated note, I have a neurological disorder LAMOWASDFGHJKL
