[disdaidal]

Though it was a hot day yesterday (something I usually can't deal with), I had to drive to the nearest town and take a walk in the park. I don't usually wear makeup either but I thought, what the heck, might as well put an effort.

Some guy rode their bike past me and whistled at me and it... felt good? lmao

Never thought I'd feel that way about that but guess I am really getting desperate here huh.

"I'm Lactose Intolerant"

Things Reader Should Acknowledge: I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS ALREADY BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SAVE IT AS A DRAFT, i have yet to get the hang of tumblr, yuuji hasnt been born yet, the itadori parents neglect their children so grandpa takes care of them, waaaaaay later is when yuuji is born, sukuna gets his tattoos when he is older

Prologue: As summer nears its end, and autumn takes its place, you find yourself in quite the situation. A new family has arrived in the neighborhood, and your parents have tasked you with greeting your new neighbors. A wacky grandpa, a gloomy tween. Seriously, could things get any worse?

A/N: Sukuna is 10 years old, while reader is 9 years old. However, Sukuna was held back a grade, so guess who is joining your class this year? *cue the confetti*

Please REFRAIN from REPOSTING MY WORK (REBLOGS ARE EXEMPTED FROM THIS RULE)

PS: i know little kids shouldnt be walking the streets alone, but lets just pretend the world is a better place

Chores are boring. Errands, on the other hand? Well, not so much.

You shielded your eyes from the rays of the sun as you walked down the street, avoiding the cracks on the pavement. The sky bled as the sun set and the songs of the birds started to come to a halt. It was a typical Saturday, help get the groceries, head home, and assist with dinner as much as possible. However, what wasn't typical was the fact that there was a moving company's truck blocking your way home.

Wow, there's definitely a better way to go about this, you sigh. Mindlessly, you kick a pebble aside and tighten your grip on your tote bag as your stride continues.

Several men in navy colored uniforms carry boxes as another man, who you estimate is a septuagenarian, surveys the workers from the front lawn of his new house. The man, who you also assume is your new neighbor, has his hands clasped behind his back and wears a green wool sweater.

Deciding to be polite, you clear your throat, neaten up your braids, and slowly approach the man, cautious as you try not to give him a heart attack. At nine years old, one may not know much, but one might know that killing your elderly neighbor is a pretty wack first impression.

The man looks quite surprised to see you approach, and even raises a white brow.

Okay, maybe this is a bad idea, you think as your palms start to sweat. You go through several introductions through your mind just to go with the most lame one.

"Hello, sir. My name is Y/N L/N. I'm your . . . uhh, new neighbor," you cringed at yourself before holding out a hand to the man.

"Ah, wasn't expecting to meet my neighbors on the first day here. I am Mr. Itadori, pleasure to meet you," his voice sounded like that of an old man's, yet, it had such a warm, cozy feel to it. He took your hand and gave it a firm shake.

"Likewise," you say, after a few seconds of silence.

"Should a girl, — pardon my rudeness — as young as you, be walking out here alone at this time?"

"Aha, my parents trust this neighborhood enough. And anyway, I was only getting groceries from the store, it's not too far from this block actually." You pointed a finger in the direction of said store.

"Wow, you must be pretty responsible for your parents to be sending you out for groceries, huh? Good to know some children in this neighborhood help out their families," Mr. Itadori turned to face a boy, probably not much older than you, who was carrying boxes into the house when he put emphasis on the word "some".

The boy had pink unruly hair, that was slicked back and spiky. You held back a giggle at the sight.

"Grandpa, I'm literally moving furniture into the house. What are you looking at me for?" The boy grumbled, but he didn't stop as he moved the boxes.

"I never said you didn't help out. I was just simply telling Y/N here, about how some children help out their families. No need to get upset now, Sukuna." Mr. Itadori gave a small chuckle, before abruptly turning to face you.

"Oh, right! How rude of me, I haven't introduced you to my grandson."

"Oh, no worries. You guys are probably busy—" You began, before being cut off.

"Nonsense! Sukuna! Come here, boy."

Sukuna muttered something, and dropped off a box by the front of the house before moving over to you and his grandpa.

Now that the boy was closer, you could make out his red eyes, and the frown on his face. Looking back at Mr. Itadori, you noticed he did not share the same qualities as his grandson, and instead had brown eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Introduce yourself!" Mr. Itadori lightly pushed Sukuna closer to you.

The taller boy stared at you for what seemed like forever, before averting his eyes to the ground and keeping them there. "Name's Sukuna."

"Y/N. But I think your grandpa already mentioned that," you tried to lighten the mood.

You swear you heard him say something along the lines of "pretty name" under his breath, but before you could ask, Sukuna retreated to his boxes. His grandpa looked displeased at that. Actually, that's quite an understatement. He looked furious with Sukuna, but he didn't do anything other than sigh and bid you adieu and good night.

You slowly walked back to your house, your arrival being a little later than usual, which your parents questioned you about, to which you explained that there was a truck in your way.

When it was time for bed, you did as you usually did. Showered, changed into your pajamas and watched a movie before cleaning up and preparing to actually go to bed. As you moved to close your window blinds, you noticed something you hadn't seen in a long time — considering no one's occupied the house next door since it was put on sale — there was a window right across from yours, and the light was on.

You didn't plan on becoming a creep at such a young age, but due to curiosity, you didn't peel your eyes away from the window. It surprised you to see that the room across from yours was a bedroom belonging to none other then Sukuna. When you saw the pink spikes of his hair come near the window, you quickly shut the blinds.

The next morning, your mom shook you awake.

You groaned, "Mom. . . What is it?"

"We have new neighbors, honey! I've already started prepping for baking an apple pie for them—" You let her ramble on while you were still half-awake.

Oh, right . . . you never mentioned your meeting with the Itadoris. Now you have to introduce yourself to them, yet again.

"—I just need you to grab a few ingredients for me, if you don't mind."

"Sure, Mom. No problem." You stretched out your arms and yawned.

"Perfect! I'll let you get ready then. I'll give the list on your way out." Then, your mom got up, and shut the door.

You yawned again and rubbed your forehead. This was definitely going to be an interesting day, to say the least.

You met your mom downstairs and she instructed you on the ingredients you needed to purchase. "Uh huh, got it. Thanks. Bye, Mom!

Still half-asleep, you slowly slipped on your sneakers and headed out through the door. The sun warmed your face, yet sent a chill down your spine.

Apples and lemon.

Apples. . .

And lemons.

You hummed to yourself as you walked down the street, passing by the Itadori house.

Apples and lemons—

"Gah!" A little rock got in your way, and you were about to faceplant onto the sidewalk when you felt a firm hand on your shoulder reel you back upward.

You turned to see who your savior was, and cocked your head to the side in surprise.

"Sukuna? What are you doing out here?"

"No 'thanks for saving me, Sukuna'? Also, contrary to your belief, other people in this neighborhood get out the house too, y'know?"

You scoffed, jutting out your bottom lip, "Thanks."

Sukuna held a smug look on his face.

"So . . . you gonna take your hand off my shoulder, or should I do that tor you?"

He looked taken aback, and swiftly returned his hand to his hoodie pocket. "I have to go get groceries. My grandpa sent me, because our house is basically empty?" Sukuna acted as if that was common knowledge.

"What did you have for dinner last night, then?"

"Ordered in."

You mumbled, "Figured."

"Anyway, Grandpa told me you know where the closest grocery store is? I need . . . directions."

"Oh! Right," you scratched the back of your neck. "I'm actually heading there right now. You can come with." If Sukuna didn't want to go with you, he certainly didn't show it (surprisingly).

"So you're actually going to turn this way, down here, across this weird looking house or something — I actually don't even know if it has someone living in it — then go in front of this—"

"Stop talking, and maybe we'll get there faster," Sukuna muttered.

You turned around to face him; he had his hands in his pocket and wore a bored look on his face. You huffed.

"Go have someone else show you the way, then. Y'know, I was actually trying to be nice to you and all. I'm even showing you the shortcut. And now look at how you're treating me." You turned away from him.

"'Trying to be nice'? Please. You haven't asked me how day was going. 'Trying to be nice' my ass."

You ignored his use profanity at such a young age, and you came to a skidding halt; Sukuna even bumped into your back when you stopped abruptly.

"What is your problem!? So what if I haven't asked you how your day was going? SO WHAT? You haven't asked me either. If you don't like me just leave. me. alone!"

"People are so uptight these days," Sukuna shrugged.

"Uptight? UPTIGHT? Please, be my guest, and show me how I'm the uptight one here." You couldn't believe this dude. He's the only other kid in this neighborhood — besides your sibling — and he refuses to be cooperative, kind, nonetheless, a decent person.

The rest of the walk to the grocery store happened in silence. And believe me, the silence was loooouuuuddd. You wholeheartedly believed Sukuna would leave, but he didn't. Which made you even more mad.

The bell above the door chimed when you stepped in the store, out of pettiness, you didn't even hold the door for Sukuna. He scoffed at that, and you turned around to face him. "Well, here you are. The grocery store. Happy now?"

"I'm never happy."

Wow, he must've been dropped on the head as a baby, because he certainly did not get the personality from his grandpa.

You walked through the aisles one by one and searched for the items your mother requested.

Apples and lemons.

You didn't even bother placing them in a bag, insisting on carrying them yourself. Meanwhile, Sukuna was still trailing behind you, much like a lost puppy. His groceries were all in a bag, and he looked ready to pay, but he was still behind you.

Finally, you got sick of his weirdness, and peered over your shoulder to get a look of his face, which was frowning, "Why are you following me?"

He looked like he was pondering, thinking of a way to answer your question. "Girls shouldn't be walking around alone. Especially you."

"Ugh, there you go again. Always thinking you're better than everyone else. And, whaddya mean 'especially me,' huh? You don't think I can handle myself? Are you here to protect me or something? Swooping in to save the day, my knight in shining armor? Seriously, Sukuna."

He groaned, and dragged his free hand down his face, "I came from a not so safe neighborhood. Can't you see I'm just trying to look out for you? If some man came up and harassed you, and I was shopping in some other aisle, would you blame me too?" His voice softened on the last part.

"Forget it, you're right. I'm wrong," you sighed and walked to the register.

When you got home, your mom ushered you inside and hurried to start on the apple pie. You bit your nails as she worked, and she quickly took notice of that.

"Something wrong, sweetie?"

You shook your head, and mouthed a simple "no".

While you were upstairs reading a book, you heard the beeping of the oven, signaling the completion of the baking process. Before you could even put down your book, your mother called out to you from downstairs.

She welcomed you in the kitchen and took great care in wrapping the freshly baked pie in tinfoil and sending you off to the Itadori house. But before that happened, however, she made you memorize your speech, reminding you to inform your next door neighbors of who originally made the pie. And with a soft pat on the back from your mom, you were off.

It was a quarter past 12 o'clock when you finally found the courage to knock on your neighbor's front door. You heard a "coming!" from inside the house, and returned your hand to its side.

Loud footsteps came closer until finally the door was flung open. You were greeted by the sight of Mr. Itadori in a fluffy red robe, and equally fluffy slippers.

"Ah! Y/N. What a pleasant surprise to see you here."

You stuttered a bit, "Hi, Mr. Itadori. My mom and I wanted to formally introduce ourselves, and welcome you to the neighborhood — I didn't mention our very much brief meeting yesterday."

"Oh wow! You can tell your mother I appreciate her kind welcome." He turned his head into the house, and called for, "Sukuna! Come here, boy."

"Oh, I wouldn't want to be a bother—"

"Agh, you children. Always the same. Nonsense, Y/N. Utter nonsense."

Sukuna stood behind his grandpa in record time, his speed surprised you. "What's she doing here?" He sneered. You offered him a glare in return while Mr. Itadori was oblivious.

"Don't be rude to our kind neighbor. She's here to formally introduce herself."

"Again?"

"Yes. Again."

"Whatever."

Your eyes flickered back and forth between the Itadoris' banter. "I've brought some apple pie — my mom baked it."

Mr. Itadori's eyes lightened up as you presented the tinfoil covered dish to him. "It smells delicious! You really didn't have to, my dear."

"It was no big deal, I promise," you laughed (nervously).

"I will put this on the counter, one second," Mr. Itadori walked away, leaving you and Sukuna alone. The taller boy crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway.

"Apple pie? Really? Are you trying to kill me and my grandpa? I'm lactose intolerant. We're lactose intolerant. He just didn't want to seem rude, so he's putting it away."

"Oh. . . uhh, I didn't know that—"

"I can tell. You didn't think to ask first? How considerate of you, Y/N."

You stumbled on your words.

"I'm just messing with you. Apple pie is his absolute favorite."

Your jaw dropped six feet, before you came back to your senses and rolled your eyes, "Did you have to scare me like that?"

He laughed aloud, "Duh. Shoulda seen the look on your face. Priceless!" He continued to laugh, while your expression remained stoic, trying not to laugh as well. You didn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking he was actually funny.

When his laughter subsided, he cocked his head to the side. "What's with the face? Girls don't know how to joke around or something?"

You frowned.

Mr. Itadori returned to the both of you and patted his grandson on the back. "Well! Thank you again, Y/N. Tell your family I say thanks and appreciate their kindness."

"Of course. I'll be going now." You waved to Mr. Itadori — feigning ignorance to Sukuna — and walked back to your house next door.

When Sukuna and his grandpa sat at their newly assembled dining table, they both couldn't believe how good the apple pie tasted. Sukuna even asked for a second slice.

Mr. Itadori broke the silence, "So, school starts tomorrow."

Sukuna glanced at his elder, and raised a brow.

"Since you don't know anyone else at your new school, you can ask Y/N for help. She'll be in your grade anyway."

Sukuna sighed, "Grandpa, why are girls so difficult?"

"Ohoho," Mr. Itadori's laughter boomed throughout the house. "You're a funny one, Sukuna," and he ruffled his grandson's unruly hair, messing it up more.

[theastrical]

Well hello there, one of my favorite writers. (Ssh don't tell anyone 🙃)

Diluc Kaveh Kaeya Zhongli + An s/o (i prefer fem! reader) who can sing oh so beautifully. More specifically, hum. The way they hum is like no other at all, it's a sad slow and melancholic tune. Like a fallen angel's melody echoing through the human soul.

So they've been distracted doing something else and the men catches them. But their lovely s/o is the shyest sweetheart out there so they just watch quietly in silence. A warmth filling their hearts, despite the coldness of the tune.

I guess you can say I've been caught a few times singing in a uhh depressive way lmao :') sorry this rq is lonngg. Take your own time to write!

melodies and genshin men!

genshin men reaction to their s/o’s lovely melodic humming.

diluc, kaveh, kaeya, zhongli x fem!reader

hurt comfort, fluff

notes: take care of urself and have a time for yourself hihic you deserve it~ <3

diluc’s way of showcasing his endearment:

He caught you off guard when you were planting your favorite flowers at the garden of his house. You loved taking care of the nature that’s for sure, and it seems nature loves you the same, even the birds start to chirp and the flower blooms magnificently with the existence of you in diluc’s eyes.

You were singing a lullaby, a children lullaby. a lullaby that can make you sleep just by hearing it. Diluc thought it was such an opportunity to seek the real you, the you that humms such a melodic tune without caring a single vision scheming into it; surprising you with an embarrassment at this case. Your voice are melancholic, it reminds him of the good old days, making him fell harder, even when some maids gossip around you…telling that your singing voice isn’t exactly like your voice…all shy with a very melancholic sad tune inside the chords of your voice.

So he secretly listens..before holding your shoulder…and hug you behind your waist. “i wonder…what makes my lady so beautiful today..? Her humming or her presence?”. Your blush is obvious and that satisfies diluc who ended up just kissing your cheeks out of adoration. The idea of you being all shy around him makes diluc want to kiss you even further…oh well, maybe soon?

“if you hum that lovely darling…how about you become the bird that wakes me up every morning..?”

kaveh’s way of understanding you:

it was a rough day, perhaps you were just trying way too much to have such an expectancy. The day ended up with failure and loneliness…kaveh isn’t home, he’s still proposing his architecture project to the academia. so you ended up writing down your feelings in your diary while you humm such a tune to closed off those feelings. You were too in depth with the tune and ended up not realising that he had knock on your door…

He had prepared a beautiful bouquet…and after hearing your pleasantly…sad tune, he hides and listen to your tune quietly. Not wanting to be caught; he takes off his shoes and everything just for you not to realise his existence.

Until—he hugged you from the back and it made your whole body tensed up. He whispers near your ear, his chin on your shoulder. “Why the sad tune..? It’s not like your diary is the only one you can make tales to…i’m here waiting for you to talk…”, per-usual, due to how shocked and shy you are from being caught…that one tear fell from your eyes. A giggle escape, although your cheeks are red and your eyes are watery. Yet he even continue to hum alongside you…no need for words, you guys are already in the zone.

Kaeya’s winter season:

You were crocheting kaeya’s pair of socks and his soon-to-be-beanie. He requested it long ago, maybe around 6 weeks before autumn ends, kaeya is a secret fan of your crochets…he loves handcrafts and he adores every creation you make with his whole heart. Today is almost winter, you know that he had ripped off his socks and his beanie was accidentally burn my klee…hence you’re out on your desk for around 9 hours now, just crocheting-crocheting-crocheting.

Out of listening to the music on your earphone, you start to humm a beautiful musical performance, the tune itself is creepy enough as it is, and your voice? It’s exactly like one might call a fallen angel voice. You continued to crochet like you don’t care about anything in this world. Unlike you, getting stuck in your own world is not kaeya’s thing, so he sneak up beside you, sitting down on the bed, while tilting his head, waiting for you to turn your head to him. He giggles. How cute is my little lady..she must be so focused, she forgot her husband has come home…he thought.

Suddenly an ad popped out and you were stressed! Your focus? All gone! Then when you look beside you…”hi” he smiles, like a crazy bastard. You almost scream from the surprise he planned. He helps you stand again even when your face are already so red…you hide your face whilst kaeya giggle, kissing your hand. “weird…everything about you make me all warm and fuzzy…even your lovely little humming are also sweet..”, he kisses your cheeks. “Why hiding it? I thought you wanted me to be happy?”…”then sing further, it’ll made me happier if you do.” He pats your fuming self as He takes your finished crochet.

Zhongli’s favorite orchestra:

zhongli secretly knows that you’ve been humming when he’s “asleep”. Yes, he’s not asleep. And yes he would only expose that he isn’t asleep when he wants to, cause this man doesn’t want you to know that he listens to your humming as if it’s a lullaby that drive him into dream land…it would make you all red and shy for WEEKS, so he refuse to expose it.

You didn’t know about his lies, you didn’t know that he has been pretending for months now. So you kept on humming…while cleaning the box where your used-to-be violin is at. You tried to prepare it all up, you tried to play it away from the bedroom as you hum, not wanting to wake zhongli up. Zhongli tries his best to sleep without your lullaby now…he needs to try it, but it ended up with failure. So when you came back from playing the violin…he was already wide awake, sitting.

you were so embarrassed, has he been hearing you singing and playing..? You never even sing or play your violin in front of your parents so…zhongli seeing it is already a big red “oh no” in her face. Now she’s all shy. Zhongli sighed for a moment before he gently pull you to bed…”sweetheart, sing for me..it’s not like you will die when i hear you…i can’t never let your beautiful “voice all ran out just like that…”, he cups your cheeks. “make me a lullaby that can make me fall harder…also sleep more peacefully my sweet little orchestra.”, he bops your red nose before kissing it sweetly.

Lana (Dress to impress) Theories I put together

(I pinned this bc I might add more. And correct myself)

So I have translated some of the words in Lana's group and Öga role means eyes. Evighet means eternity. And Kråka means arm. This might be the limbs/parts lana has taken. For the eternity part I don't know.

In the other lana group called plague there is a user ibogenschutze and it says that he took their heart out while it was beating. Who is he? But it's weird that they are only a patron on the main group. Maybe Lana's sacrifice.

on the plague group The Role Fjärii (the owner role) means Butterfly. I have no idea what that has to do with the lore lol

Now with the people in the Evighet role there is: snowyxmistyy, Vinny, BAZINGAA, Rose, autumn, and blu3.

Snowyxmistyy's profile has nothing. Vinny's profile basically says he is trying to find out about Lana and why she executed him and the others. BAZINGAA's profile just says to join roses group, roses profile says join her group, autumns profile just says bababa and Blu3 says she has officially died in the Lana lore.

Now I don't know why they are in the eternity rule (evighet) but probably they are stuck in Lana's world. They will probably get more lore soon (probably not idk)

Öga role (means eye) are verified people. Owen, callmehhaley, Gigi, Twoket9. Nothing special about this role but I think they might be important in the future. Like since Lana has an eye patch she might take their eyes? Idk.

Btw the reason why I'm not covering the horizon role rn is bc I would have to go through 333 people. I will probably update this post and add it in the future.

The traitor role are the people who "betrayed" lana/called her out on what she has done. Nelly, Micheal, Rafael, sunny, and Nathan. If you want to know more watch Lana lore or the questionare videos where they got executed or smth

rankers are just the people who rank? Nothing special right now atm.

for the missing people Alexei is new (I think??) His profile is just asking what happened while he was gone. I think he will be important. My guess is that he really isn't missing or dead and that he just lost his memory and came back? There is Jisoo. Her profile is saying the world is crumbling around her and she says she's in a nightmare. Jayla says she trusted Lana but then she got sacrificed. By the way all the missing people except Alexei have the same outfit and remember when I mentioned ibogenschutze? Yeah they have the same outfit two. Probably a friend of theirs. Nicholas has some code you need a translator for. Uhh idk what translator you need :( but it's just like Sadie's. And I think it's new? Next is Sadie. Apparently in one of the questionnaire things she came back and talked about her. Then her tombstone is gone and I think is near lanas house? Yeah so not really anything new except for Alexei and the Nicholas about me thing. And Sadie's profile was uncoded. Check a Lana lore video and you'll see what it says.

next the herd. This is what I love the most bc I have some theories >:] so they are all Lana's disciples like they worship Lana and will do anything. Uhh yeah I'm not totally sure on that but let's check the profiles!!! Apart of the herd there used to be Nelly and rafael but they are now traitors. Anyways. Kayden. Dating jasmine and he's probably saying Lana is a dictator. Not jasmine? Maybe jasmine idk. Audrey's makes no sense. Uhh but saying it's not preppy in there makes sense because she doesn't like it? Idk she'll be important in the future I think. Then jasmine. Her profile says "Of course, people change, however, sometimes you're forced to resent such changes... and you know who I mean...I'll let it go for now. I'll stay." She thinks Lana is changing and she thinks that Lana will babe to resent the changes. But jasmine will stay and let go of it. She'll definitely be important. Oh it also says she loves kayden. So they deff dating.

Next kråka.which means arm. It's dierben. In the Lana lore video they say something about them I don't remember I'll update it once I watch it again. Diarben is the lead dti dev but they're a big part of the story.

Next. Agamemnon.i don't know anything about them yet but they'll be important I think. They are the owner of the plague thing. My theory is: is that Agamemnon made this plague to control Lana and it is changing her and he has big plans.

Phew and finally duva. Lana. Duva means should. I dunno what that means but yup the plague owner role meaning butterfly also doesn't make sense.

✨ this part I'm not sure on ✨ so Lana is on vacation right? Maybe it's the evil lana. Because on the Lana theory group (THIS MIGHT BE FAKE) Lana joined a server and gave everyone vip. Maybe it's the actual Lana trying to be nice while the evil Lana is on vacation.

Also I feel like something bad will happen on vacation like someone from the herd will be gone or go missing.

Okay now onto the plague group <3 the shout says "I promise I haven't forgotten about you all" I think this means she'll do something to us. She wants to give revenge on people who have her the plague? My other theory Is that she made a plague to take down the people she is wanting revenge one. One of the two now let's go into the roles!

Btw the other group saudade means longing maybe that has something to do with the eternity role. Idk

so first there's the cocoon role. Maybe this is like s figure of speech like the owner role being butterfly. When we go through the portal we will be at the final stage. Or maybe we arent ready yet.

The Herd. Basically the same except. Remember Alatheia? (ibogenschutze) they are in there. This is not an accident (I think) the about me says "HE RIPPED ME APART WHILE MY HEART WAS STILL BEATING" I think after lanas vacation we will find out who "he" is. Idk if diarben is a girl or boy but I'm thinking boy? So it might be diarben or kayden or maybe one of the missing boys? They will definitely be important. And the user (ibogenschutze) means archers and they are friends with... NELLY???? Idk if we know who this is but it might be Nelly but dead. Because she got executed I think? Idk maybe she's still alive because they did kill lana but it might've been a fake distraction. Now with the herd I will be talking about their users. What I mean is there @ (like example @ibogenschutze) jasmine is Appleintheforest. Now I don't know what this means but in the plague theres a role named Apple and it's lana so those might be connected? Like Lana's biggest supporter. Audrey is Oonaslays. Uh like with the first part this has to do with nothing but it's an old account from 2017 unlike jasmine but kayden's is from 2018. Idk what this means. Kayden's is freshfalls. These users (excluding Audrey) just might be about nature? Idk that's all I got from this.

League is the missing people. Possibly the couple of people they tested the plague on? Or they are the people who started the plague and then got hurt by it. Oh and by the way I think jisoo's bio means that when she opened Lana's third eye she See's nothing but darkness? Idk. Anyways to the users. Nicholas is Applebitten2. Which is like he bit into an apple. Which connects with jasmines. Like shes still an apple in the forest and Nicholas bit into the Apple and found out what happened. And his following is just lana. So another disciple? Now jisoo it's Mickeyiee I put it in the translator but it showed up with nothing. So kinda like audreys not important. Next Jayla is whisperingat now she might be whispering to people for help? (Btw jisoo and Jayla are not following anybody) Sadie is ihaveflowered. Maybe since she went missing and spoke out she is a new person. Not much about that since there's not much information. She is also following lana.

The next role is apple. Which is just lana.

Last role. Fjäril means butterfly. Possibly the last stage.

Also I went into the questionnaire game and there is a note that says "I'll be back to avenge you. Blessing from Agamemnon" I think this is the lana that they both killed. And I said before Agamemnon will be important. I think he is going to try and Resurrect evil lana? Idk.

I will be going through all the games to see if there's anything new. The only new thing about the questionnaire is the note and that sadies tombstone is ggone

Ok so I just went to the fortress. Jasmine is Obsessed with being always in Lana's eyes. She IS a disciple. A worshipper even. She has notes on a board that say "Micheal. Reason: has a disliking of me. And is a threat to me... Taking away attention from me from Lana's eyes." Next "Sunny. Reason: I just don't like her. I think the coterie will benefit from her being gone" finally "Rafael. Reason: I have suspicion of him betraying lana, spreading rumors that muddle Lana's reputation." The other notes (her diary and the note on jasmines bed) are to hard to read so I'm watching a video about it.

I found out that lana is not actually dead. Nelly's old bio was saying she thought lana died. But now she's somewhere else. Her new bio says "I don't want to be here anymore... I should have just never done what I did.." I think she is referring to that she's in the symphony of nox? Because the people who wronged the awakening in there. I think nice lana is in there? It's not wringing the awakening but lana could've put them in there. While watching callmehhaley's video I see that one of the badges says that the person is the sheep following the butterfly. And on the plague group Agamemnon is the butterfly. I think Agamemnon is the mastermind unless this is another distraction.

I'm going to watch all of callmehhaley's videos so ill update later <3 strawbs out

Alexei was apart of the corterie. Idk why he's in missing now and has an new fit.

Ok so sunny got wrongfully executed and so did Micheal. It's all because of jasmine. She had the board and that means jasmine is behind all of it.

With the portal. Lana killed all of the four people to activate the portal. To avenge the person (lover? Idk) but it didn't work. She tried sacrificing more to activate it again but they ended up killing her so I think she was the key to the portal and it opened.

So Agamemnon's room (theone with the note saying he'll kill lana when he's done. It says the devs eyes will be in good use. Well I know Gigi and Haley aren't devs but they are under the role that's translates to eye. Agamemnon is going to use their eyes

Ok so now I know who alexei is. He was like a herd member but didn't talk much? So now the monster killed him. Also I might not update this for a while lol if u wanna know more look at callmehhaley's vids <3

How'd you end up discovering your art style?

Well, it wasn’t much of a discovery- it’s just how I draw, I guess! It evolves over time and changes based on what artists I��m looking up to and what styles I’m into

But I can give ya a (recent-ish) evolution of my style/a break-down on all its influences over the past two years if ya wanna see how it all happened!

-

Some stuff from July-October of 2022

Two-three-ish years ago, for instance, it was more classical painting inspired. I was real into Over the Garden Wall and also just…general American history back then don’t judge I was coming off of my first American history class since elementary school and I thought it was so cool So my art had more of like…that going on yk? It wasn’t as good as my stuff now at all, because I’ve since improved my anatomy skills, learned how to draw fabric folds (sorta), and learned a bit of color theory lol. But they’re ok for what they are, I guess.

I think my main problem back then was the fact that I did not fully know how to use references- and a lotta my references were like. Cartoons. And stuff that was very much not meant to be painted in the amount of detail I aimed for at the time.

(Even here, you can tell I was dissatisfied, because they all look pretty different from each other yk?) (and you can see how hardly any of the fabric has folds and how little I understood lighting 😭)

-

January-March ‘23

Anyhow, after this, in uhh early 2023, I had a 80s-90s comic book/pop art phase, which was a pretty drastic swing in the opposite direction. I still rendered things sometimes, but things were less soft/warm. BUT I was starting to use real photos as references which was vital

I was also watching a lotta tmnt with my kid brother, which is what I blame for why the proportions got so stylized- folks in the 2012 version of that show were just kinda built funny, which I think subconsciously impacted my art. My posing did get a bit stronger in this time as I practiced more, and I think things got less stiff

-

June-August ‘23

Next, as the summer months came, I had a lotta changes in inspo and also just in life lol. I had temporarily moved to my neighbor’s place, and I didn’t have a car yet/any friends who I liked enough to hang around with, so all summer long I rewatched a lotta 80s movies, fell in love with the first season of Stranger Things (not the others as much tho 😭), skateboarded, and watched a lotta art tutorials online. (I specifically remember Jackie Droujko’s yt shorts saving my assss- I loved her stuff so much. Definitely check ‘em out she explains things real well)

I improved slowly, but I DID IMPROVE a HELLUVA LOT. I focused a lot on trying to draw people who looked recognizably like themselves, but also stylized because realism (usually) bores me. I also got better at coloring- the first two here ain’t great in terms of colors, but I was learning. Plus, back then I was very into oddly saturated color schemes. (I mean it is a solid vibe. I may not do this a ton anymore but I can dig it still)

-

October-November ‘23

As autumn came, I was pretty enamored with all the like…✨fall vibes✨ that time around. My life was goin’ well, so I had a lotta optimism and a re-ignited love for nature, forests, and fantasy. Plus I was dating this girl who was really into vintage-y Wes Anderson stuff so I think some of that uhhh twee-ness rubbed off on me lol

My influences here were mainly old storybooks, a hint of Lord of the Rings (as you can probably tell by the hobbit), and a decent amount of Fantastic Mr. Fox. And for faces I was mainly using the Laurenillusrated Brushpack at the time I think? I don’t use the “Sketchy” brush in it as often anymore as I did then, but I should. It’s a great brush, and I actually am really liking all the little sketchy lines. It adds a nice touch.

also don’t look at my goddamn long hair in that self portrait on the left. I hated it on me then and I hate it now too. I cannot believe I ever let it get that long it was really bad

-

December ‘23-April ‘24

I honestly did like a total of like. Seven drawings in these four months. As opposed to my usual…uhhh I wanna say 25 every four months. Idk what was up- art just wasn’t fun at the time. I mean, it was also just a lousy few months in general, so I’m sure that’s a part of it lol, but yk. This style is pretty close to my current one- my inspiration just came from x-files-ish sci-fi and American gothic stories/images as opposed to nowadays’ Beat generation and greaser inspo.

May-Now (October) ‘24

The Outsiders kinda dragged me back into enjoying drawing again honestly. I’d read and loved it back in 2023, but upon rereading it/watching the movie in February of 2024, it just sorta…entered my headspace and stayed this time. (Still, I didn’t really draw any Outsiders/greaser-y things till May)

Lately, I take artistic inspiration in 2d animated films, like the ones by Disney with the real nicely drawn fabric folds. And also just a lotta inspo from real life. I also do a lot of black and white comics, because I find that I generally have a “Go big or go home” mentality about most things- which can be a LOT of pressure! By allowing myself to draw simpler doodle-y things, I’ve regained that love for drawing. I think for a while it just felt like work, but in letting myself take it easy, art’s become a good time again :))

OC Interview Questions: Valerie Rose Barrère

Tagged by @ghostoffuturespast thank you! Love these little games and writing practices. Also needed to think how my V would actually answer these questions...

[Mama Welles' on a Saturday night.]

V (reading a book on the couch with her feet up): "What are you two giggling about over there? It's suspicious and I don't like it." Misty (cuddling with Jackie on the opposite end of the couch): "Oh, we decided to make you a dating profile." V (initial confusion followed by a bit of rage): "A dat… The fuck?" Jackie (with the laptop): "You need some action, hermana." V: "No. Absolutely not. Delete that shit right now." [Jackie gives V his best puppy dog eyes.] V (waiting a moment): "Uggh. Fine… I'm gonna regret this." Jackie: "Heh, wasn't actually sure that was gonna work." (straightening himself out to look more serious) "Nickname?" [V gives Jackie a bombastic side eye.] Jackie: "Oh right!" (Types the letter as he says it) "V." Misty: "Height?" V: "5ft 3in." Jackie: "Gender?" V: "Seriously, Jack?" Jackie: "What? I don't want to assume." V (sighing, realizing he has a valid point): "Sure. Female." Misty: "Orientation?" V: "Straight I guess?" Jackie: "Nationality and… or… ethnicity?" V: "Uhh, my mother was Scottish/French and I think she said something about my father being Finnish. Anyways, born and raised in Heywood." Jackie (speaking the words slowly as he typed his version): "White. Very white. Heywood born and bred." Misty: "Star sign? I know this one already. Sagittarius." [Updating to Libra - forgot it's actually been official, and I stick with a lot of canon] Jackie: "Favorite fruit?" V: "Honeydew melon." Misty: "Favorite season? Autumn, right?" V: "You got it." Jackie (using his most delicate voice): "Favorite flower?" V (sharply): "Snapdragons." Misty: "Your favorite scent?" V: "Oh man… I have so many… cedarwood, jasmine, sandalwood, bergamot, books…" [Misty nods in agreement, thinking of her favorite incense in the shop.] Jackie: "Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?" V: "Tea usually. I'm… selective when it comes to coffee." Jackie (types and mutters): "Psh. I'll say. Can never bring you coffee anymore." Misty: "Average hours of sleep?" V: "9 to 10. I get cranky with less." Jackie: "You sure do." V (annoyed, raised voice): "Do you want me to finish these questions or not Jackie?" Jackie (puts his hands up in surrender): "Alright alright… I take it you didn't get your beauty sleep… princess." [V punches Jackie pretty hard in the arm.] Jackie (rolling over holding his bruised arm, laughing): "Oww…ahah… oww. Heh." V: "Misty, if you'd please take the rest of the questions… unless you want to drag an oversized bodybag out the door." [Jackie flashes V a stupid grin.] Misty: "Dog or cat person?" V: "Hmm… It feels like cheating to say both. Maybe I lean towards dogs. It's been awhile since I've seen one though." Misty: "Dream trip?" V: "Europe maybe? I don't know if there's anything left of my parents over there but I guess I'm curious." Misty: "I'd love to go back to Poland one day. Favorite fictional character?" V: "Probably… Edmond Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo. It was one of my mom's favorites." Misty: "Number of blankets you sleep with?" V: "Zero or one… It's just too damn hot." Misty: "Aaand last one." V: "Oh thank god." Misty: "A fun fact?" V: "Uhhh. I guess… I enjoy retro video games?" Misty: "OK. Published." V: "Now will you two leave me be?" [bing.] Jackie (throwing himself at the computer): "Ooh! Look! Matches already, chica!" V (snatching the computer out of Jackie's hands): "Wait what? Lemme see." [V scrolls a bit, the reflection of the screen lighting up her face in the dark room.] V: "No. Noo. Definitely not. No." Jackie (takes the computer back): "Lemme take a look… I'll find you someone... Here! This guy looks promising, huh?" (excitedly turns the screen to face V.) V: "Oh. Damn. Lemme take a closer look… Nah. What a damn shame. He's NCPD."

Blackjack - Gifts Will Not Arrive: Chapter 3

Location: Yumenosaki Game Research Clubroom Characters: Natsume, Arashi & Mika Season: Autumn

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ< Almost an hour later. Yumenosaki Academy –

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤThe Game Research Clubroom disguised as Natsume’s fortune-telling hut. >

Natsume: HmM?

So that’s why you came to see mE? Because I’m a fortune-teller who is good at finding peopLE?

Business is booming as of late, it seeMS. I also feel slightly bashful knowing that everyone sees me as a reliable fortune-tellER.

Arashi: What are you talking about? It’s a bad habit of yours to speak in such a suggestive and puzzling manner for no good reason, Natsume-chan.

Mika: Why’re you tryin’ to pick a fight right away, Naru-chan?

Arashi: We’re just not compatible, you know. I don’t like that all-knowing attitude of his and how he tries to frivolously dig into things.

Mika: Isn’t that a case of dislikin’ people who’re similar to you? Nakkun, sometimes you tease me in a weird way too so I’m not very good at dealin’ with that either…

Natsume: I can’t believe you can say such a thing right to my faCE. You reap what you sow so it’s difficult for me to complaIN, but is that the attitude of someone who’s asking someone else for a favoUR?

Mika: Ngh? Sorry, it’s not my intention to hurt you, Nakkun.

Natsume: It’s fiNE. If this is enough to hurt mE, then I wouldn’t be able to stand being around that Shaggy Four-eyes, who hurts others unconsciousLY.

He would trigger other people’s landmines without any ill intentioNS.

AnywAY, you two are very lucKY. I’ve also been asked by someone else to do something similAR, so I’ve even asked Mummy to help in the searCH.

Mika: Mummy? Uhh, who’s that? Mikejima-senpai from “MaM”?

Arashi: He’s probably referring to his mother – if I remember correctly, she is an amazing fortune-teller, isn’t she?

Natsume: YeAH. As expected of my mumMY – She immediately found a few leads after I talked to her about iT…

I can’t tell you the details bUT, frankly speakiNG, it’s better if you two don’t get involved in thIS. It seems you won’t come out of it with just a few burNS.

Arashi: What do you mean…?

Natsume: In any caSE, I understand how the Little Kitten and the others would be worried about their frieND. What to dO, what to dO.

Mika: Who’s the Little Kitten? Ritsu-kun?

Arashi: Why would you think of Ritsu-chan when someone mentions a cat? Well, I guess he kinda fits.

Mika: Ngh~ Everyone tends to call other people with weird nicknames, so I can’t tell who’s who.

Arashi: I think you’re one of those people, though, Mika-chan.

Little Kitten is Anzu-chan, right? She’s searching for Hitsugi-chan too?

Right, they’re good friends, aren’t they? I think she gets on especially well with NEGI-chan.

Natsume: HeHE. Are you jealous that she might take the position of the Little Kitten’s “female frieND”? She’s not your wedding partner so I don’t think how many friends she has matters much, thouGH.

Putting that asiDE, it seems things have gotten a bit complicatED.

I don’t have proof but it appears the two missing people, Kurone-kun and “Phantom”-kun – in other worDS, Mayoi Ayase-kun – are togethER.

I’m assuming that Kurone-kun has told Ayase-kun to not say anythiNG. It seems it’s difficult for him to contact us from his eND.

Arashi: Told him not to say anything?

Natsume: YeAH. That’s the only plausible reason I could think oF. OtherwiSE, why would we not hear anything from Ayase-kUN?

Judging by his personaliTY, he probably doesn’t want to make his unit members in “ALKALOID” worry, eithER.

That’s the one safe place he’s gone through lengths to fiND – the other place being the Ninja AssociatiON.

Arashi: Yeah, it’s weird that he hasn’t contacted his club or unit members.

That’s why Shinobu-chan was worried about him, thinking he had gotten himself into some sort of trouble.

That concern got passed on to Tetora-kun and then us, so we’re worried now too. 

Natsume: You certainly must bE. That’s what it means for someone to disappeAR. Everyone has a place in someone else’s heaRT.

If that someone disappears all of a sudden one dAY, then that person’s heart becomes a blank space and they gain a sense of loSS. A cold breeze blows into the hole carved into their heart and heartrending feelings start welling uP.

Parting with someone in death is the worst feeliNG. That blank space within your heart that will never be filled up again will cause phantom paIN, and you’ll end up seeing non-existent things in order to avoid that paIN.

No one has disappearED – That’s why you’re okAY…

That’s what a ghost really iS. It’s phantom pain from the heaRT.

Mika: Uh, what’re you talkin’ about? So, umm, where are Hitsugi-kun and Ayase-kun right now?

Natsume: Sorry but I can’t tell yOU.

Arashi: You actually know where they are, don’t you?

Natsume: How ruDE. SuRE, I’m a liar but I do my best to avoid making lies that make myself seem bigger than I actually aM. I definitely embarrassed myself in the past because of thAT.

Like saying I’m Natsume Sakasaki from the “Five OddbalLS” – that I’m also a monster of the same rank as my nii-sans in the “Five OddbalLS”. In realiTY, there is a huge disparity between uS.

That still applies nOW. I’m doing my best to be on the same level as them as much as I can, thouGH.

Mika: Our upperclassmen are also growin’ too, huh. It’s pretty hard for us to catch up to ‘em.

Natsume: YeAH. I both empathise and sympathise with yOU – It must be quite difficult to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Shuu Nii-san as a fellow artiST.

Getting back on topIC, I’m sorry even though you came all this wAy, but I cannot give you any information regarding the two missing people.

But rest assurED – I will make sure I tell the appropriate peopLE.

Arashi: Hmm? And who would that be?

Natsume: Who would that be in this situation indeED…? I’ve been thinking about it but “ALKALOID”, Little Kitten or Shinobu-kun would be appropriaTE.

But even they don’t have a reason to risk their lives to cross such a bridGE. They don’t have that strong of a wiSH.

They’re simply frienDS, fellow unit or club members or students in the same graDE. They’re not family members who are in the same boAT. Would it be logical of them to risk their lives even though that’s all their relationship amounted tO?

It makes me question my sense of ethics as a fortune-tellER. This is a difficult issUE.

Mika: ? What have you been talkin’ about this whole time…?

Natsume: Just muttering to myseLF… My answer won’t change no matter how much you press me for informatiON, so you two should leave and prepare for “Star Fest” or somethiNG.

But who knoWS? Maybe that preparation might just all go to waste in the eND.

Arashi: Just what is going on? Stop speaking in riddles!

Natsume: What I’m saying iS…

That it meaNS, in the worst-case scenarIO, we won’t be able to enjoy a peaceful ChristmAS.

[mad-hunts]

If you could pick just one superpower, what would it be and why?

barton cleared his throat as he was approached by a stranger whom, for some reason, appeared to be completely unidentifiable; what with their sunglasses and seemingly blank features. and for a moment, he was extremely confused, but then he remembered something that he'd learned from the mun — or autumn, as she preferred to be called and was a person who seemingly had a weird connection with him (i just had to do the fourth wall break like this y'all... sorry LOL)— that he would be approached by someone he could trust and who was curious about him. so he then set down the coffee mug he was holding, before he began responding to them, ❝ uhh, well, i actually haven't really thought about it that much before. i guess because i am honestly perfectly fine with being human? but if i were to pick one, i would want it to be useful. and preferably not boring after a few seconds like super speed. ❞ barton tilted his head as he might've or might've not made an underhanded comment directed at the flash.

he always thought that something like that always had too many disadvantages to it as well, personally, so that was another reason why he disliked it. a hum of contemplation was what ended up breaking the temporary silence that had ensued as he thought of his answer. it appeared he had something like an epiphany then, though, judging by the fact that he rose a finger towards the figure and uttered a soft ' oh, wait ' like he was having a revelation, ❝ okay... yeah, after a little bit of deliberation, i think i know which one i'd want to have now. teleportation. i mean, imagine how helpful that would be to have if you were me. a couple of idiot cops giving you trouble by holding you at gunpoint and so you need a quick out? you could just poof away, wherever you want to go. you discover in the middle of a date with a person that was supposed to be the next person on your chopping block that they are also a serial killer and were planning on killing you as well at the end of the night? ignoring how ultra-specific that scenario is, as it totally hasn't happened to me or anything, you can just simply disappear and avoid having an awkward knife fight with them. ❞

yeah, with how detailed that situation was and how barton seemed to almost be too eager to brush it off as not being legit, it absolutely had happened to him. a laugh came from him then as he moved on from the subject, ❝ so, anyways, like i was saying... a power like that could be pretty instrumental in helping me escape sticky situations. and so i'd want teleportation. there's your answer, anonymous. i also think that having a pocket dimension could be fun, but i have to say that this is ultimately what i'd wanna go with. it is practical and fun after all. ❞

[awiola]

Normal update, autumn??? XXIII

Okay, so I thought it would be a nice, winter quarterly update but turns out the last one was titled summer and I guess going by calendar, winter barely started so it's??? autumn??? I guess??? Last day of the year but autumn, sure, let's go with that. That being the case, I have no new year's pic for y'all cause I can't draw I was devving uhh, rly hard, let's say. Totally.

Anyway, the mushroom jam has ended and I planned to have a release update BUT THEN I DIDN'T FINISH THE GAME ON TIME YET AGAIN, who would've thought, so, like, there's nothing. I mean, something exists but yeah >_> I'll write a devlog when it finally looks presentable. Moving on...

Current game stuff

The spooktober game has been finished, kinda - The enmity of dead things. It, well, it works and it contains the full script and everything but lacks both art and music cause I couldn't finish it on time laziness goes brrr. Then I wanted a break and worked on other games and kinda left it like that... So that's the first item on my "Finally finish it in 2024, you stupid fuck" list. All in all it wasn't a total failure and I had fun for the most part. Committing to my bad decisions [look at the textbox] is actually the main cause the game wasn't finished on time... You live and don't learn.

The failure of the year... Or quarter at least - Mushroom game. Despite being technically published to add it to the jam, it's so unfinished I won't even link it here. And it's all my fault cause I was being lazy and, as usual, forgot I can't actually program. Yeah...

Helped with Cool Days. There's really not much of my work there, I honestly considered making a new category for games I kinda helped with but tbh the amount of work actually finished was close to zero but hey, it's still more than nothing so Check it out, it has cool graphics.

The ace teens game got shelved/postponed and it's not my fault this time but instead we're working on a fantasy kinda thing for Ace jam [and maybe also Zack jam while we're at it but that might've been said in jest]. Fortunately it's small enough I don't expect any delays. I can say it involves a golem who isn't a humanoid (灬˘╰╯˘灬)♥｡･ﾟ

Now for the big thing.

Fanfares, please.

🎉🎉🎉

IMPOSTOR SYNDROME - is a game for winter jam which also happens to be a demo cause we ran out of time but! - it will be finished soon-ish. I'll share more details in the release devlog so if the link to the game works already, that means the page's up and so is all the info. If it doesn't work, check again in a few hours but I'm assuming most people who actually read all that will do so post winter jam anyway.

Genre wise it's an otome chat sim comedy that's extremely self indulged and I'm not ashamed of that. Gotta make games for yourself and all that. Though, again, my own conribution to the development process remains minimal. I'm truly becoming the idea guy.

The "Finally finish it in 2024, you stupid fuck" list aka the stuff that should've been finished already but isn't

Umm, yeah, everything. Or, to be more specific, Mushroom game and Enmity take priority here but all the other games that needed some quality of life adjustments like making the web build work on mobile etc are also included [which is kinda funny cause a lot of them could be corrected in like an hour if I actually sat and did just that].

It's been more than three years since I released Argousze and yes, you gessed it, it's also unfinished. Which is extra funny in a pathetic way cause it was supposed to be a low effort game with, like, 2k words of wordcount. To be fair I kinda dropped it cause I couldn't design my aliens but maybe I'll actually get a good idea for once and manage to release it on its fourth anniversary. That'd be nice.

Other than that, well... That's more of a resolution than anything but I should stop constantly joining new teams and all... And either take a proper dev break or work on ye olde projects waiting for me since the beginning of HS. I'll become older than my oldest LI before I finish them at this point lol

Pariiish noootiiiceees

This year we're gonna have two new jams instead of one. Stuff happened and yeah. No links just yet cause not only are the pages not finished but there's also no planned date/duration beyond 'sometime in the later part of the year'.

The first jam is Tentacle jam which, I'm pretty sure, would bring us eroges. This was not my intention and all kind of sfw tentacles are allowed but tbh as long as there's a proper story, even a nukige would pass. Basically the rules remain like in all the previous jams I hosted.

The second jam is Insect [adjacent] jam which actually accepts all kinds of arthropods but it started as just insect jam and I wanted to keep the name. So yeah. Obviously more detailed rules of what's allowed would be written on the page when it's up properly and not in a half dead state like right now.

Incidentally, whatever the date ends up being, both of these jams would be hosted at the same time so if you wanted to make a story taking place underwater or something, you could submit it to both of these jams. Neat, right?

That's it for this year.

Over.

maple, spice, maize :3

autumnal asks

maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?

screen printing!! i had the opportunity to take a class at two different places but my schedule didn't line up with either :( someday i hope to learn!

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?

uhh supposedly this bed and breakfast i stayed at in redacted was haunted. a couple that was staying the same night as i was left in the middle of the night apparently because they were scared away. i'll beat a ghost's ass tho 💪wachale guey

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.

didn't technically happen on the street but on the road.

this really happened. i was 15.

i was headed to an opera in the park event in san francisco with my family. we were gonna meet my 11th grade teacher there because i was the only one who wanted to go. to get there from where we lived you had to go on mountain roads for about 3 hours.

30 or so minutes into driving, where most people lose cell service, there was a car ahead of us. the car breaks strongly after going about 60 mi/hr...a couple of times.

the third time it started smoking, came to a dead stop, and a native american woman fucking jumped and rolled out of the passenger's side. we immediately stopped.

the woman, younger than i am now, got up and ran to us at top speed and we all got out. she was screaming and crying and explained to us that her ex-boyfriend had kidnapped her and she was afraid he was gonna kill her. guy jumped out of the car and my mom started screaming at him and we all looked as if we were gonna jump him. he got back in his car, after an awkward dance of lunge and backtrack, and drove away. we all jumped back in, the woman sitting next to me in the backseat, and headed back to the last town.

i was the only one with half a bar of service. i called the cops and we met at a jack in the box. the cops did nothing. she lived on the res so i guess it was to be expected, but with the amount of women and girls who "go missing" there it's not hard to add up the facts and draw conclusions.

we waited for her family to come and pick her up.

one of the weirdest things to happen to me, the next day i told my teacher we saved someone's life on the way to san francisco.

[dethmail]

Dear Murderface, I wrote you but you still ain't calling. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em.

My band’s coming up too, I'm bout to be Famous! If I get a record deal, guess what I'mma call the first track? I'mma name it piss. I read about your parents, too, I'm sorry.

faye, twilight zone questions 15/21/25/29

15. Favorite time of year? Why? I think Faye would like the kind of 'its cool but not freezing' type weather of mid spring or autumn so probably one of those. Maybe spring more because it's not then about to become freezing again (altho the summer means Hot Weather esp for someone who grew up in a place that doesn't get as hot as Inkopolis does)

21. Do they travel? Do they want to, and where? Faye travels occasionally but mostly for work things. She works at the studio the Squid Sisters manager runs and sometimes goes places because of that altho sometimes it's because Marie has a concert or tour or something and is like yeah can I take my uhh bestie with me please. for emotional support

25. Do they play any games? What kind and when? She's had Pokémon Platinum since she was a kid and still plays it sometimes even tho her DS is on its last legs. While she's recovering from surgery Marie lets her borrow her nintendo switch and she gets thoroughly invested in Stardew Valley. Eventually she gets a switch of her own and Callie manages to convince her to duo play through a newer Pokémon game together (imagine these games are made the same as now but replace people with like. cephalopods I guess)

29. Any iconic ways of speech that they have? Faye is technically british and will not hesitate to call someone a bloody pillock when angered

25, 13, 33?

Let’s do this!

25. fave season and why?

I really wanna say summer but it is so hot right now and summer hasn’t even started! my little student housing is not equipped for this.

So maybe autumn. You know, when the year sort of soft-resets? I always have a bunch of energy then, and it’s still a nice time for walks…

13. what are you doing right now?

Right now I’m rapidly switching between tasks because I wanna do everything at once.

Uhh, more specifically, I’m trying to record another guitar piece! Be on the lookout for Villa-Lobos’ 1st Prelude :)

And then at the same time I’m working on an open source project I literally just started! I was doing a project for a linguistics department last semester, and we had to interface with this piece of software called Praat, from Python. We made do, but I didn’t particularly like the available libraries.

Now obviously the solution is to create another one, so yeah! Here’s hoping it will be useful to someone. It’s also the first time I’m doing something like this, so that’s exciting. I don’t imagine it will be useful to anyone who follows me, but you can still check it out if you want!

33. any hobbies?

I hope to be posting about them here! Expect, uhh, expect nothing because I don’t know, but I might be doing:

more classical/Spanish guitar

programming? experiences?? I guess this is a blog so why not

ooh, I’d like to show off my Commodore 64 a bit more. I posted it in r/CuratedTumblr once!

[becauseanders]

5 (song) and 29 (tattoos) for the oc ask!! Whichever ocs you want to pick or have an answer for (and also Anders, obvi)

Not me looking for song recs or tattoo ideas or anything ;)

thank you, friend!! but also you made a mistake by trying to get me to make a decision because now i'm just going to answer for everyone, lmao

also to explain the counting-of-the-anders thing, anders cousland is the version of anders from my ridiculously long dragon age ii modern au it means tumult, where yes because it is an au everyone is a little oc-ified but because it's a handers fic that makes this au anders the most fleshed out after trista hawke, and i love him so fucking much, so i decided he counts for this game, lol

anyway, after that unnecessary ramble, here go!

5. What is the song you most associate to them? marian hawke: "map change" by every time i die or (even though this is cheap as fuck and more of a handers song to me) "marian" by the sisters of mercy

trista hawke: "temple of love" by the sisters of mercy

autumn amell: "thing with feathers" by every time i die

astrid trevelyan: "anhedonia" by chelsea wolfe and emma ruth rundle

carrie shepard: "the becoming" by nine inch nails

sara ryder: "our lady of sorrows" by my chemical romance

anders cousland: "rock 'n' roll suicide" by david bowie (in fact i literally starting writing that fic 100% just so there could be a universe where a hawke sings this to him)

29. They have a chance to get a tattoo: what would it be? marian hawke: okay first of all because i just did it APPARENTLY IF YOU GOOGLE "DRAGON AGE HAWKE TATTOO" THE FIRST IMAGE ON THE "ALL RESULTS" PAGE IS ME????? anyway, though, it's this red thing on her arm, i just see it as an actual tattoo she has even though we don't know what the fuck it means (also since i mentioned it uhh, i guess here's mine too, direct from the google results!, even though that arm doesn't look like that anymore as it's now a fully filled in half sleeve…although fuck, i barely even look like that anymore and goddamn let's not dwell on that…despite the fact that all my pink had faded out in this picture let the internet remember me this way indeed)

trista hawke: same as my marian, but in her universe i made it so that it's sort of like a hawke family crest she also just so happens to have no idea of the origin for, lol

autumn amell: she would totally get a broken circle sort of symbol, and/or a grey warden symbol, and/or a rose (most likely all of the above if given the opportunity)

astrid trevelyan: she has a tattoo under her left eye that's just little lines and dots, per the tattoo options in the character creation screen, and it's there to draw more attention to the scars she has on that side of her face and head (she also shaves her head on that side) that she acquired while fighting with the mage rebellion, which she's very proud of taking part in (even though she also regularly lies about whether or not she was part of it with the inquisition because she's terrified) (also here she is in a video capture even though you still really can't see the tattoo super well)

carrie shepard: she actually just starts collecting tattoos after the war and jack does them, and most of them are small and hidden and very personal (the coordinates for mindoir and anderson's service number, for example) but she has two fairly large ones, one on the inside of each forearm: an ash tree for ashley, and an outline of the river thames for anderson

sara ryder: she has a really big tattoo that covers pretty much her entire neck and is just pretty linework patterns that almost look like an elaborate large necklace; she got it because she thought it looked nice but also it was right after her mom died and she obviously wasn't getting any support so it was kind of a breakdown tattoo

anders cousland: tbh i'm not sure he would, like…he would probably just rather put the money towards his activism but if for some reason he had to, i'd have to really think about it but i could probably figure out an explanation for the "vengeance" (fuck you bioware) symbol to end up being associated with his justice persona in this universe

🥰

thank you again!
