“If you want an apology—” “Quite the opposite, actually.” Shrue blinks at her in genuine bemusement. “... I don't follow.” “I thought perhaps we could fight about it.” Val says it as casually as if she's suggesting they take an impromptu late-night stroll. Or: In another reality, Shrue lives, and makes it to the camp of the Children of the Woundtree, where they try with the other survivors to rebuild their lives. Val is there too. They come to blows about it. Or: (Sort of) Repairing your broken relationship with a little percussive maintenance.
finally wrote a fic about these wretched creatures i'm so fond of. you can read it if you want.

im just gonna be honest gang obviously its gonna be easy for you to say youre in love with a character and theyre an angel when anytime they do something you don't like you brush it off as out of character
#bad writing is still canon unfortunately#the place where i absolutely draw the line is gallavich being verse don't fucking piss me off @shameless writers#unfortunately your fav characters did do and say those bad things..... and to ignore that is too fundamentally misunderstand their character#how can you love a person when you choose to be blind to who they are </3#this isn't directed toward anybody y'all are just being very dramatic lately and really i think we should remember that tv shows aren't real#i can recognize when someone is caused by bad writing but i still have to accept that it's a real thing that happened#like. do i find shameless entertaining? YES! is it well written? FUCK NO#it's actually fundamentally a bad show in many ways. but that's WHY i enjoy discussing it#it's why my hyperfixation hasn't died down. because theres just SO MUCH to pick apart and interpret and discuss!#it's actually so bad at times i blocked it out of my memory!#but if i believe something isn't canon or *shouldn't be canon* (HUGE difference between those 2 things)#then i should explain why i think that. and i also need to accept that others disagree#but if you say everything you don't like is just ooc bad writing and therefore not real to canon then#....lol what are you even doing here#like. we should be rallying against the writers for being actively racist homophobic transphobic fatphobic ableist etc#yet we're sitting here with our thumbs up our asses fighting about which character fanclub is the most oppressed#WHO CARESSSSS JOHN WELLS DOESN'T CARE ABOUT US IT TRULY ISN'T WORTH WASTING YOUR BREATH OVER#i just want to read about 2 toxic kinky boys kissing idk#let me say this tho! hardcore fiona stans you gotta be the most out of touch people on planet earth!#okay goodnight everypony#wall of text in the tags#a.txt

If your muse suddenly grew wings, what would they look like? (i.e: feathered and bird-like, leathery bat-like wings, insect-like, ect...)
Tumblr media
(Fairy wings the shape and color of fallen Autumn leaves, the kind that are just starting to turn! They'd still be that deep, vibrant Fall-red around where the wings connect to her body, bleeding into that crumbly-looking brown color the closer you get to the wingtips and with a reddish-brown outline and leaf veins... You also wouldn't be able to see through the membranes. When they move, they'd probably shed bits of dusty leaf residue, instead of the standard sparkly fairy-dust.
River is pretty heavy due to having a bit more muscle-mass, so the wings would likely be too delicate to support actual flight for her; but she'd be able to use them to glide, and would be able to hover off the ground for a little bit if she put the effort into it. They'd also be able to give her a 'boost' in speed when running after her targets in order to close the gap a little quicker, she'd definitely keep them hidden and whip them out for a 'surprise-attack'!)

Sliske's really ought to check if he's a tracking device on him. There's no other reason, surely, for how Gale is suddenly clamoring his way, his bright eyes beaming and outright twinkling, and his cheeks, wind-bitten, all winter-nipped. He enters the book store, a chintzy hovel more a bookworm's secret. In the corner, a humble station serves peculating coffee, and quieter than anything, a vinyl sings. "Spending an evening with Robert Smith without me? I don't know whether to be offended or delighted in your continual show of exceptional taste." Gale grins. Wind-swept, he looks just a little bit like an over-eager puppy, one with a leather suitcase, a thousand papers, and a late-lecture-glaze. "Ah. I didn't mean to startle you. Admittedly, I meant only to swipe a new read after the day I had when I'd suddenly happened upon you--and not a moment too soon if your song choice is any indication. It really is quite palpable, this one. On my darker days, I'd played it like a litany. May I join you?" / @abysswarden.

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying
#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story#Seven’s Celestial Commentary#Everything Stays#writing stuff#i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic#there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good#the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand#i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun#but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader#can’t decide which i like more#god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head#next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao#and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts…#Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude#‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!!#picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God#‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down#‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!!#anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations!#and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped)#(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’#‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’#like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for-#like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon#‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’#‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’#*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters#anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many#gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced#even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

Lost Scales
So, a bit belated, but upon the comments of a few on AO3 on the newly-posted chapter, there's now a formal repository for me to put any 'missing scenes' and the like for Scaling!
It only has the one chapter I put up on here first, so no need to look at it if you've already read it! But I'd figured I'd put out a formal announcement regardless.
I'll also say that with the newest chapter I put out Feb.28? ...being unexpectedly early, it's quite possible that the next one will be a bit later, since it's likely to be an important one to the direction of the plot. My apologies for the wait, but in the meantime, I hope that this+the early chapter helps make up for it!

I got the flow.   Not your average Joe, or a yoyo.  
Because I am not attached to anyone's string.
 I make my own music when I sing.   I live no strings attached, so everyone get back.
 If you think I will just be another card who fits in the stack. I like working as a team, not trying to be mean.
But like green potato chips, opportunities come far and few.
 Ever wonder where the other six options life gave you would of taken you?
 I most certainly do.
 I am like Blue's Clues, trying to pick up the pieces.   Like some great scholar this is my thesis.
 Like Wendy's, this is where the beef is.   No need to loose leaf this, in fact I hope you don't.
 Life is short.   No nose bleeds, I don't snort.
 I export my feelings from my head, through my pc, through this window like screen.
 Until it meets you in whatever Tumblr looks like to you.
 For me it's dark blue, but I think our words give it color.
 4th wall breaker, need I even mutter.

' you need rest. '   ↪ @finalslay : mary & dean.
Tumblr media
to need is to be a burden : he has been trained in the art of self - sufficiency by his father, by her counterpart, from a young age. not only that, but the need to protect was instilled as strongly as any instinct. the deep - rooted compulsion to erase his own needs in favour of sammy's, wasn't that just how the world worked ? a skewed sense of what life is and what it's supposed to be. this is all he's ever known. and yet, family is sacred. the bond that ties them carefully crafted and easily broken, never fully able to be severed. for better or for worse.
❛ i can't. ❜ the strain of it all pains him to say, voice cracked / fragmented / shards of weakness splintering amidst his vocal cords. lips pressed together, he shakes his head, forlorn. ❛ not until this is all over. ❜ but there is no deadline to this, no white - picket fence on the horizon for him. he avoids the unspoken question, lingering in his peripheral vision. an angel that weeps. and what if it's never over ?
then he'll never rest.

@thcpresidcnt sent: E-Rick { For Rick & Evil Rick (for funsies) } Would my muse...? || Accepting !
Tumblr media
The question has Rick gleefully smirking in a way that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame. Oh, he likes this game...at least for this round.
Tumblr media
"D-Depends on which me y-you're asking that shit too," he replies with an amused snort. "I-I mean, shit, I don't even know the guy i-in some verses. W-Well, most of them. O-Or if I do, I just know tha-that he's the little creep second-in-command, s-so he doesn't exactly scores high in my book."
A shrug follows, but the amused glint in his eyes doesn't fade. "I-I guess that in those case I-I'd find him physically attractive, b-but assume that he has the biggest stick up his ass, s-so personality would be fuckin' nope. S-Same for dating. I-I'd still fuck him though. 'C-Cause, why not?"
Then his smirk widens a little. "B-But in the verses where I do know him...Damn. A-All of it. He's not bad at all, p-personality wise. T-The guy is hilarious, he's good c-company...and he's fuckin' cute."
E-Rick won't be happy to hear him throw out such words where everyone can read them, but he doesn't care. Besides, the guy always embarrasses himself anyway.
"S-So, he's a catch, for both looks an-and personality. An-And I do date and fuck him, s-so lucky me."
Tumblr media
"M-My turn? About time," Evil Rick interjects. This is why he hates being paired up with C-137 in asks. The idiot rambles too much. "Lame personality, he is weak-willed and embarrassing, so no. Not attractive. I-I don't sleep around and I don't date, so no. And I wouldn't fuck or date him even if I did."
A beat of silence.
"I-I can't say anything about his looks, because we look the same. So, no opinion on those."

@lcstkey: [ snowball fight ]  for the sender to throw a snowball at the receiver and initiate a snowball fight [Simon]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's another one of those nights -- where simon is locked in the evidence room for so long he nearly forgets what the outside air feels like . it's not a time he enjoys , and he certainly knows the benefits of taking a break , but he can't bring himself to stop working . this is an obvious flaw of his -- one that is occasionally tempered by a caring friend , but not tonight . tonight , he doesn't find himself wandering to the exit of the precinct until . . . well , an embarrassingly late hour .
he's not alone , though . there is another body in the building , working themselves to the bone . simon insists to himself that he doesn't care , that he barely knows detective wolfsong , and that she is more than capable of taking care of her own needs . undeniably , though , he is glad to see her following behind as he walks out the door . he shares a small greeting , a weary attempt at politeness , before carrying on .
it's horrendously cold outside . simon can't help but shiver as the wind hits his face , but keeps walking , not entirely in the mood to make small talk -- and supposing she must not be , either . it's late , after all .
he stops in his tracks when a force -- a cold force -- slams into his shoulder blade . slowly , the prosecutor turns , looking almost menacing until he grins , reaches down , and scoops snow into his bare hands .
he almost can't believe he -- they -- are doing this , but right now , he's too tired to care . how long has it been since he had the simple pleasure of a snowball fight ? just for this moment , simon elects to discard all pretenses , all need to put up a front , and decides to simply . . . have fun .
he throws a snowball back at her .
