While I’m waiting for Kotoko’s MV to drop so I can continue my overview passion project, here’s Milgram, but Danganronpa? Comment if you have any better ideas for their Ultimates
(Someone’s probs done this before, but idc. Im not going anywhere with this so if someone wants to use my ideas just tag me in your post lol)
Jackalope obvi as Monokuma
Es as the protagonist, and Ultimate Warden
Haruka as something like the Ultimate lucky student maybe? Maybe Ultimate Taxidermist or smth he doesn’t have a lot going for him
Yuno as the Ultimate Companion, but she’s secretly the ultimate Sugar-baby? Weird ultimate but it fits her story lol. Ultimate Model or Pop Idol would fit her too but idk
Fuuta as the Ultimate Competitive Gamer? Graffiti artist? Online Harrasser? Social Justice Warrior? There’s a lot he could be tbh
Muu the Ultimate Affluent Prodigy or some nothing talent she just paid for cuz she’s rich (or is she?). She’d definitely be a big antagonist.
Shidou as the Ultimate Doctor
Mahiru as the Ultimate Influencer or maybe Matchmaker. Maybe Model?
Kazui as the Ultimate Salaryman idk I can’t think of anything else
Amane as the Little Ultimate Animal Caretaker
Mikoto would probably forget his Ultimate, but I don’t want a Toko/Jill situation so he’d die first like Rantaro 😭
Kotoko as the Ultimate Vigilante, like if Maki was super upfront about her talent. I also see her being the main antagonist
Ok so I think 11 people isn’t nearly enough to make an interesting story… so… I’m adding some more (plus pictures to show what they look like). I think some of them would be like plus ones, so there’d be a talent vs no talent dynamic
Haruka’s mom as like an Ultimate Caregiver (but she sucks at her job), maybe Haruka could be her plus one?
Tumblr media
Yuno’s sugar daddy as the Ultimate CEO (also this is legit the only picture I could find 😭)
Tumblr media
Fuuta’s victim as the Ultimate Student or smth idk we don’t really know her. Maybe some sort of gaming or internet ultimate would fit
Tumblr media
Rei as the ultimate Amateur Investigator
Tumblr media
Shidou’s wife as the Ultimate Florist? That or Ultimate Housewife which… isn’t really a good ultimate. Could be Shidou’s plus one
Tumblr media
Mahiru’s Boyfriend has no personality so he would just be a plus one to Mahiru
Tumblr media
Kazui’s wife as the ultimate salary woman? Honestly no clue, maybe another plus one situation
Tumblr media
Amane’s mom as the Ultimate religious zealot
Tumblr media
We don’t know much about the other two’s victims, so I’m just gonna add those two main bully girls of Muu, (Aa and Sayu are their names apparently). Since they were friends at one point, I could see Muu bringing one as a plus one and just paying for one of them being the ultimate lucky student.
Tumblr media
For the plot I’d say everyone would come to the prison under different pretenses (like Muu’s gang would think it’s a super prestigious academy, Muu and her bf think it’s a couple’s retreat, Shidou and his wife think it’s a place to get treatment for her, etc.) Then Jackalope reveals the real purpose and traps them in the prison. I’d say a minimum of like three people would have to die per trial for there to be an acceptable amount of survivors.
Some plot things I think would happen, Mikoto probs would die first (just cuz he’s messy). Then after learning the rules Kotoko would murder one or two people she deems evil (maybe Yuno’s Sugar daddy and Amane’s mom or smth), cuz only the first death matters. Then I think she’d do that a couple trials, before someone fakes their death (probably Muu) and gets Kotoko executed. Also I think it’d be interesting if pretty early on Es would be revealed as the Mastermind, and the perspective would switch to Rei. I think for the third trial, like how in the og games there’s a double kill, there’d be a HUGE blood bath that like cuts down all of the just extra space characters.

⚠️warning: rpdr season 13 spoilers⚠️
(I’m basically just venting my feelings so it’s gonna be messy 😂)
Sooo I finally brought myself to watch season 13 of rpdr because I just had to see how they treated gottmik’s storyline and omfg... I avoided most spoilers apart from seeing the untucked clip of mik coming out. So I actually had hope that they allowed her to come out herself and at her own time. What I didn’t realise was that was due to an OUTING in episode 2... LIKE WTF!??? Like I know she wrote the lyrics and whatever, but you cannot tell me that that dramatic plot point was not in some way staged or planned. Even if it wasn’t, it’s just the fact that she was expected to come out in the first place?
Idk, like I said in my last post, It just annoys me as a trans person that we can’t ever just be people!! Why are we trans before anything else to people?? And the fact that she says it brings her a lot of dysphoria in the moment that she wasn’t expecting, just shows how exhausting it can be to be publicly trans. You expect over time your dysphoria will dissipate as you transition, but coming out to new people can still leave you with this sinking feeling of “oh they see me as ‘other’ now”. Even if they don’t! Like the other queens seem great so far. But yeah that dysphoria just sucks so bad and the moment when mik literally gasped and cringed when her song came on just hit home for me.
It’s one thing being open and proud of your transness (which mik is) to a comfortable degree (which varies from person to person) and like over stepping your own boundaries because you feel like you have to be an advocate for the trans community. Which again idk miks feelings on this, but it’s just something I’ve noticed with soo many public trans figures (eg: a lot of youtubers).
Asking trans ppl to air their story to strangers ON TV, with no regard for their own personal comfort is just uughhhh (not saying this is the situation with mik). Especially with the amount of hate and threats trans ppl will receive online as a result. It would be nice if that weren’t the case, but fuck the cis gay community is SO rife with transphobia.
Ugh it’s so frustrating. Why does “equal opportunity” always have to come with trade-ins, i.e. having to be the token trans person and having your transness be used for drama. Like don’t even get me started on Rupauls consistent transphobia, ESPECIALLY towards trans woman.
Idk I’m probably overreacting and projecting my feelings because I relate to mik a lot being a trans gay guy. But yeah it just upset me. I’ve seen up to episode 5 atm and it’s been fine since episode 2, so I’m hoping that the rest of the season is ok.

Tips For Vtubers
Howdy there, I’m Liv and I’m a vtuber much like you, but I’ve been here the whole time so I’m here to compile stuff for you to help make your transition less scary.
To start, here’s is a post with a lot of tips for general tumblr use and here’s one for giving your blog a custom theme.
Beyond that here’s other things that aren’t mentioned but are gonna be relevant for you:
If you’re coming back to tumblr know that you can’t follow from your sideblog, if you want to follow back it will be from your main, as will your likes, replies, asks. Decide what to do with this information now before you settle into a blog.
Fully explore the settings, there's a ton of stuff hiding in there. AND do it on PC at least once, some stuff is not in the app.
Blogs have individual block lists, no idk why either. So if you want someone banned from everything you need to do that manually.
 Also enable tumblr Labs! It’s got reblog graphs which are rad (my beloved orbs) And alternate dashboards, the Blog Subscriptions one is my fave because it means all you have to do is turn on notifications to get all your fave guys in one dashboard.
Contrary to popular belief there is still a porn and adult content community here, if you want to get anywhere near them you have to have age in bio or they’ll smite you. EDIT: I posted more about how to navigate lewdposting here.
Tiktok embeds don't play nice with tumblr for some reason, if you also do tiktok then just reupload your videos and link your account there underneath.
The link post type will show up for your followers but there’s a chance it won’t show up in any tags, so don’t do going live posts like that.
BUT you can straight up embed your stream into your posts! As long as you're using the New Post Editor you should see this menu:
Tumblr media
Click the video camera, link to your twitch and bam. There it is. You can also do this with the video post type! If you're ever worried about your post format getting bonked just go through the tags and see what posts that DO make it are doing. Together we can overcome spaghetti code.
General "tumblr culture" is to not comment on posts but its not one thats set in stone, your fellow small vtuber account is probably dying for interaction so comment on posts! scream in the tags! send funny asks! Getting interaction right now is going to be a big comfort during a weird time.
Oh yeah we have ask boxes built in, no marshmallow needed.
ALSO we have pinned posts just like twitter, but as long as you want! Put your ref & socials & art tag (yes you can keep your fanart tags) & your minors DNI & a picture of your cat if you want.
OH I do suggest picking out tags for your personal content if you plan to also do reblogging, makes it easy for newcomers to find what you're doing.
#vtuber and #indie vtuber are full of fanart for the big guys. If you wanna find each other use #vtuber uprising
Okay this post is getting so long but final tip: check out custom pages. They're on the custom theme menu and they're basically mini webpages on your blog that can have their own coding. You can do Literally Whatever. Lore! Credit page! Ref sheets! I once put a choose your own adventure where you navigated by clicking specific parts of a picture on tumblr pages. I Mean Anything.
That's all for now, please add other tips if you want. And please reblog! Not just this post but other peoples too! This will all be way less of a drag if we can find each other. 💖
EDIT: One more thing, lolisho shit Does Not Fly here. They are some of the only tags that tumblr has actually shadowbanned and there is a reporting criteria for it to get taken down. It also doesn't fly on my blog! Begone!!

Chips and Orange Soda
Brooklyn Nine-Nine One Shot
Pairing: Reader x Jake Peralta
Other Characters: Raymond Holt, Rosa Diaz
Warnings: theft
Summary: When a series of bodegas are robbed, Holt assigns Jake and Rosa on the case. You, a cashier, become a suspect, but Jake has a gut feeling that you’re not a suspect at all. In fact, he thinks you’re the key to solving the case. 
Part Two: Chips and Orange Soda (part ii)
Word Count: 2,697
A/N: my submission for @locke-writes​​‘ writing challenge! i know everyone wanted me to post the whole fic at once but then it ended up being 5k+ words i made the executive decision that it was probably best for everyones sanity to split it up into 2 parts. think of it as a commercial break in the episode <3 i’m gonna disclaimer this by saying that i’m not a cop or in law enforcement. idk how this shit works. i tried my best but this isn’t legally accurate. anyway! based on the prompt: “You come here often?” “Well, I work here. So I think I’d have to say ‘yes’.” 
reblog/feedback/comments are very much appreciated!!!
Tumblr media
“Not late! I’m not late!” Jake announces, rushing into the briefing room with his bag still slung over his shoulder. He ignores the eye rolls from Amy and Terry, and plops down in the seat Charles has saved for him. He leans back, dumping his bag on the floor as he tries to catch his breath, before noticing Holt’s disapproving stare. “I’m not! Look, I’m right on time!”
Jake points over at the clock hanging on the wall, and Holt glances over his shoulder before turning back to Jake. “You’re fifteen minutes late, Peralta. That clock broke down two days ago.”
Jake takes a proper look at the clock, which, sure enough, is frozen at three minutes past two o’clock. 
“Okay, well…” Jake cringes. “I had a flat tire?” 
“As I was saying,” Holt ignores Jake’s excuse, reorganizing the case files on the podium as the squad quickly focuses. Pulling up a few pictures on the television, Holt curtly explains, “Two bodegas were robbed last night, and we suspect it may be the same person, or group or people, who robbed the three bodegas last week. Thankfully, no one was injured, but we need to crack down on this case before it happens again.” 
The squad nods in agreement, and Amy taps her pen against the desk as she takes notes. Gesturing towards Rosa, Holt asks, “Diaz, you were investigating last week’s robberies. Where are you in solving the case?”
“Nowhere, sir.” Rosa begrudgingly admits, folding her arms across her chest as she shakes her head. “Forensics dusted the place for prints but found nothing, and the security footage was crap. Couldn’t pull any good images because it was so old. All I know is that it looks like at least two individuals are involved.” 
Holt slowly nods, pressing his lips together as he deliberates this. Pointing at Jake, he orders, “Conduct some interviews around the block, see if anyone saw anything. Perhaps you’ll have more luck this time. And take Peralta with you, you’ll be able to cover more ground. Everyone, you’re dismissed.” 
Jake looks over his shoulder to exchange a nod with Rosa before everyone gets to their feet. Holt closes up his file, and quickly stops Jake before he can leave the room, “Oh, and Jake?”
Jake pauses in the doorway. “Yes, sir?” 
“While you’re out, you can get some new batteries for the clock.” Holt points back at the defunct clock. Raising an eyebrow, Holt continues, “So next time, you can actually take a look at how late you are.” 
Beside him, Amy can’t help but snort at Jake’s expense, and he resists the urge to roll his eyes. 
Jake jogs over to the bodega, a cup of coffee in hand from the nearby food cart. He ducks under the police tape bordering the store, and he gingerly steps around the shattered glass scattered on the pavement. He can already see Rosa inside, taking off her sunglasses and hooking them on the collar of her shirt, and he can see that the forensics team have already marked up the scene. Rosa looks up as Jake approaches, and she informs him, “This one’s different from the others; they actually broke in instead of picking the lock. Otherwise, they took all the cash, and it doesn’t look like anything from the inventory was taken.” 
“Which is kinda weird, considering this place has pretty cool chip flavors and orange soda.” Jake points to a nearby shelf, and Rosa shoots him a look. Shrugging, Jake looks at the rest of the shelves and the fridge as he mumbles to himself, “I’m just saying.” 
“Security footage from this whole week is missing too.” Rosa continues. She groans, shaking her head as she takes another glance around the scene. “I don’t know how we’re going to get anywhere with this.”
The two of them make their way back outside, where a small crowd is now lingering outside the store, curiously trying to peek inside as the cops try to corral everyone. Pointing at them, Rosa suggests, “Maybe we can find a witness.” 
Jake follows her gaze, quickly sweeping over the individuals before his gaze lands on you. Your eyes momentarily meet, but you quickly look away and turn your attention back to the smashed glass. You’re cute, Jake thinks to himself with a grin, all bundled up in a denim jacket that, and when you turn to look at something over your shoulder, he can’t help but notice has a cool design of some planets stitched on the back. Rolling back his shoulders, Jake holds out his cup of coffee, and he says, “Allow me to handle this, Rosa,” 
Rosa rolls her eyes at the annoyingly confident tone Jake quickly adopts, and pointedly refuses to hold Jake’s coffee for him.
“Alright then,” Jake awkwardly takes his coffee back, and he gulps down the rest, fanning his tongue as it burns his mouth. Tossing it aside into a nearby trash can, Jake quickly composes himself, readjusting his jacket before approaching you. He offers you his hand, and you hesitate before shaking it, and Jake introduces, “Hey, I’m Detective Peralta. Cool jacket, by the way.”
“y/n.” you introduce yourself with a small smile, shaking his hand before you pull away to self consciously tug at the sleeves of your jacket. “And thanks. My friend made it for me as a birthday gift.”
“Nice,” Jake grins at you, before gesturing over his shoulder. “You come here often? It’s a pretty awesome bodega.”
“Uh, well, I work here.” you slowly respond, and you can see something in Jake’s expression falter as his cheeks get red. You bite back a smile as you continue, “So I think I’d have to say ‘yes’.”
“Cool, cool, cool, cool,” Jake nods, fumbling to come up with a response. His palms suddenly feel sweaty, and he scrambles to think of his next question. 
“I’ll let our owner know, by the way.” you pipe up, and Jake blinks at you. Nervously chuckling, you add, “That you think the bodega is awesome. He’ll appreciate it.” 
“Oh!” Jake laughs, and you can’t help but smile. Gesturing to the store, Jake continues, “I’ve gotta say, your snack selection is the best I’ve ever seen. I mean, you’ve got every flavor of everything in there! Also, any place that carries orange soda is automatically awesome in my book.” 
“Well of course,” you respond with a smile. “It’s the best flavor!” 
“Right?!” Jake perks up, and the both of you dissolve into laughter before Jake looks over his shoulder and notices Rosa glaring at him. Quickly clamming up, Jake attempts to focus himself, and his eyes widen as he remembers the fact that you work here. “Are you the cashier or something?”
“Yep.” you nod, stuffing your hands into the pockets of your jacket. “I just worked yesterday, too. I can’t believe someone robbed it last night.” 
“What time were you here until?” Jake asks. 
“The shop closes around midnight, and I was the one who locked up.” you answer, shifting your weight from one foot to another. Jake can’t help but notice as you momentarily break his gaze, and you glance at the store before back at him. “Usually our owner, Gabriel, closes up, but he’s been sick this past week, so I’ve been helping out.”
“Got it,” Jake nods, mentally taking note of all this information. The both of you look up as Rosa joins in on the conversation, and Jake continues, “And I’m assuming you didn’t see any sign of suspicious activity before you left?”
You shake your head, uneasily glancing over at Rosa as she looks at you. “Sorry, Detective.” 
“No, you’ve actually been super helpful.” Jake reassures you, and he offers you a friendly smile that puts you at ease. You relax, and Jake continues, “It helps us roughly estimate when the crime took place. Do you know anything about your security footage, by the way? This is my partner, Detective Diaz, and she noticed the footage was somehow erased.” 
Something in your expression shifts, and Jake can’t quite read the look on your face. Rosa narrows her eyes at you, and after a pause, you respond, “I think our cameras have been down.” 
Jake and Rosa exchange an uncertain glance, and you can feel your stomach twisting into knots as you know they don’t look convinced. The atmosphere becomes intense, especially as you feel yourself under Rosa’s stern gaze, and Jake quickly tries to lighten the mood as he tells you, “I think that’s it. Thanks for answering our questions, y/n.”
You nod, and Jake’s eyebrows furrow as your gaze lingers on him, your lips moving as if you want to tell him more. But you stop yourself, taking in a deep breath, before responding, “If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know.” 
You turn on your heel, and Jake watches as you head down the block. He looks over to see Rosa studying you, before she shakes her head. “I don’t like it, Jake. They seemed suspicious to me.”
“They were just nervous.” Jake finds himself defending you. “And probably a little frazzled, too. They were the last one in the shop, if they had stayed any longer, they could’ve been in danger.” 
“Or they could have something to do with the crime.” Rosa counteracts, and Jake lets out a sigh. Leaning towards him, Rosa continues, “I know we don’t have solid evidence, but I just have a feeling something’s up, Jake. Plus, it doesn’t help that you were flirting.” 
Jake gapes at her. “I was not flirting!” 
“Look, we need to solve this before Holt gets on my case about it.” Rosa insists. Jake lets out a sigh, before glancing down the direction you walked, and he can just barely see your figure heading into the subway station. 
“I’ll be right back.” Jake tells her, and before Rosa can stop him, he jogs after you. By the time he’s entered the station, he’s terribly out of breath, and he manages to catch you before you enter through the turnstile. “y/n!”
You look up upon hearing your name and you pause as Jake stops in front of you. He bends over, trying to catch his breath, and you patiently wait for him. Through heavy breaths, Jake manages to puff out, “Yeah, sorry, super unfit. The chips and the orange soda clearly don’t help.” 
Jake tries his best not to cringe at what he feels like is the lamest joke he’s ever made, but to his surprise, you laugh. A genuine laugh, not a cruel, teasing one, but one with a wide smile that makes Jake feel like he’s on top of the world. Tilting your head, you manage to say in between chuckles, “You’re pretty funny, Detective.” 
“Call me Jake.” Jake insists, finally regaining his breath, and you grin at him. “Hey, any chance I could get your number? For professional reasons of course, in case we need to contact you again. Or I could just give you my number if you feel better doing it that way.”
You seem hesitant, but you nod. He fumbles through his pocket, pulling out an old receipt and a pen that barely has enough ink in it, and you scribble out your number before handing it back to him, “I work every day but Tuesdays, too, so you’ll be able to catch me at work if you need me.” 
“Got it.” Jake nods, tucking the receipt into his pocket. “Thanks for your help, y/n.”
The expression that Jake can’t decipher crosses your face again, a look of pensiveness, of hesitation. But you shake it off, quickly plastering on a smile, and you nod, “Have a good day, Jake. And… good luck.” 
Jake and Rosa sit in the break room, a laptop open between them as they flip through countless CCTV videos from the blocks nearby the bodega. Rosa becomes increasingly aggressive with the keyboard with each video she clicks through, and Jake impatiently shakes his head. He groans, rubbing his fingers up against his temple as he complains, “This is killing me. If I have to look at one more minute of another grainy video, I’m going to lose it.”
Rosa rolls her eyes, leaning back in her chair as she folds her arms across her chest. She kicks Jake’s chair with her boot, and she points out, “This is all we have, Jake.”
Jake sighs, but nods. Rosa had interviewed some people in the neighboring apartments, some of which reported hearing smashed glass around three in the morning, but hadn’t called it in on the assumption it was a clumsy accident from a downstairs neighbor. It at least gave them a time of the crime, but as Rosa unfortunately pointed out, it didn’t give them much else. The CCTV didn’t seem to pick up on anything interesting, no speeding cars, and a brief moment of footage that might’ve captured the suspects only showed their retreating backs. The forensics team had also swept over all the evidence from the bodega, but had yet to find anything incriminating, not even a single fingerprint which could help lead the investigation somewhere. 
“These guys clearly know what they were doing.” Rosa grumbles, jabbing her finger into the screen. “They know to avoid all the camera spots.” 
“I hate smart criminals. Why can’t they all be dumb and just make it easier for us?” Jake whines, and Rosa rolls her eyes. 
“Have you talked to y/n lately?” Rosa asks, and Jake shakes his head, hoping Rosa doesn’t notice the faint blush that lights up his cheeks at the mere mention of your name.
“No, Rosa, who do you think I am? That’s way too forward.” Jake scoffs, before his expression turns serious. It’s been a little over a week since your interaction, and he looks at Rosa before continuing, “Unless you don’t think it’s too forward. Should I text them?”
Rosa resists the urge to punch Jake’s arm, and she deadpans, “Talked to them about the case, Jake, not for a date.” 
“Right.” Jake nods, clearly flustered, and Rosa rolls her eyes again. Wiping his slightly sweaty palms on his jeans, Jake corrects himself, “No, I haven’t talked to y/n.”
Rosa leans her elbows forward on the desk. “I think we should call them in again. You know, see if there’s anything we can get out of them. Kind it seems like they’re the only lead we have.”
“You don’t still suspect them, do you?” Jake asks, eyebrows furrowing, and he lets out a sigh as Rosa shrugs. Shaking his head, Jake insists, “I really don’t think it’s them, Rosa.” 
“Jake…” Rosa starts, shooting him a look, and Jake quickly waves his hand, brushing her off as he already knows what’s coming next. 
“Alright, I’ll reach out to them, see if there’s anything more they can tell us.” Jake reluctantly says, and Rosa nods. Pointing back at the computer, Jake asks, “Does this mean I can stop watching these boring videos?”
“Fine.” Rosa grumbles, angling the laptop towards herself as Jake grins. He grabs his jacket hanging off the back of his chair, and he sneaks one last glance at the grainy video before darting out the room. He pauses, his eyes narrowing, and he points at the screen. 
“Wait, what’s that?” Jake points at the corner of the video, where a figure rushes down the street. Rosa squints, and she pauses the video for Jake to get a better look. His eyes widen, and his expression pales slightly, and he asks, “What time was this footage from?”
“Five in the morning.” Rosa replies, checking the timestamp. Looking up at Jake, she asks, “Why? What is it?”
“Nothing.” Jake hurriedly remarks, and Rosa frowns. Before she can demand an answer from Jake, he’s already rushed out of the break room, swiftly exiting the bullpen as he dodges Terry on his way out.
It’s not nothing, but Jake knows he can’t tell Rosa that. Not when the figure in the video was wearing a distinctive denim jacket with planets stitched on the back.

good girls appreciation week 2021: day 2 // places and spaces: pwp in the paper porcupine
for places and spaces day, i’m going back in time to celebrate one of my fav show locations: the paper porcupine, specifically the back room.
if there is one thing above all else i am a truly desperate heaux for, it’s a good art room. what can i say? i spent my formative years haunting them and there’s something about a paint/ink/god knows what splattered work table that does it for me. add in a mechanical printing press? nirvana, truly.
so without further ado, allow me to rec some fics that use the space as god intended.
Tumblr media
one thing that always stands out to me about this fic is how well it captures the snap, crackle and pop between beth and rio
it opens with them literally giving each other the silent treatment while still hanging out alone for hours on end in the paper porcupine while beth prints for weeks
yes that weeks includes the mutual stubborn silence
iajs that’s the kind of petty that really makes this ship shine
and then when they break, the nasty, bitter reckoning that spills out only serves as foreplay for a hookup that perfectly captures that half bitter antagonism, half desperation to reconnect dichotomy that characterized their s3 dynamic
in addition to a fantastic hook up, the back and forth banter and energy is really what makes this fic shine
1000000/10
fav quote:
“You’re a shit shot,” he says instead, so close now their chests are grazing with every intake of breath.
“I had a shit teacher. Kinda full of himself.”
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
is it that i love pp back room hook ups or the post 213/rio’s return from the dead angsty tension? who can say, really
(both, both is good)
whatever it is, have another!!! this fic is specifically a take on the missing scene from the infamous 304 money-making promo i mean montage
what DID they do while they waited for the pulp to dry?????
the tone of this one leans a little more heavy than the previous rec as beth and rio grapple with the bitter weight of everything between them and how it’s made that much more complicated by how present the good parts of their history are as well, and how much they can’t/don’t want to escape either
idk guys, that juxtaposition is the specific flavor of angst i live for
i also love love love that in this one rio’s the one poking at the open wound of their relationship and i love that it’s the key to beth unlocking and airing some of her own grievances. communication! who knew!?
fav quote:
“I like watchin' you work.”
Me too. She wants to say. I like you watching me too. She wants to say. But her mouth is dry and her voice doesn't work so she‘s silent.
“I fuckin' hate that I like it.”
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
how do i love this fic, let me count the ways (jk we’ll be here all day bc i love it a lot)
remember how i said my favorite flavor of angst is the kind that runs on a combo of bitter and poignant memory? well boy howdy does this fic nail that like whoa
while this fic is much more sprawling than just hooking up in the pp, that is both where it starts-ish AND a returned to feature including an A++++ negotiation for a new and better blender
points deducted for mention of the keyhole sweater (I KID!!!!!!!) (not about hating the keyhole sweater, it looks so itchy idk why, but about the points deduction)
basically, to cap it off, this is one of my fav rio pov fics, it does such an incredible job capturing this completely exasperated, vaguely pissed off about it, but also kind of desperately into it vibe that feels so exactly right for a later s3 era rio starting to realize how deep his feelings for beth may in fact go and losing his mind about it and i love it a lot
plus the anti-beth list of hook up criteria remains i think one of my favorite things in any brio fic ever, so
and this is all just ch 1, i’m still not ready to talk about ch 2 but just know i think about the bit in the shower a normal amount
fav quote:
No women between 5’7 and 5’10, ‘cause Elizabeth’s height fluctuates dependin’ on her shoes.
No women with doe eyes, doesn’t matter the color, ‘cause she’s all he sees when he looks into ‘em.
They can’t drink bourbon or tequila shots, and shit, it’s not even the things she likes, but the things she doesn’t, too—which means no women nursin’ a chard or a rosé, either.
If they’re got a flower printed or embroidered or embossed anywhere on their person, they’re out.
He’s left women in parkin’ lots for drivin’ vans, and said goodnight ‘cause they carry a large brown purse.
Read on AO3
Tumblr media
like i was gonna leave the iconic brio try butt stuff fic off of the list
what i really love about this fic, aside from the fact that it’s hot af, is how well it captures the competitive aspect of beth and rio’s dynamic and how they’re always playing a game and trying to score points against each other
in this version it’s on the playful, almost, dare i say, affectionate end of the spectrum and the way it’s woven throughout gives the fic an extra spark that makes the story an absolute delight
this is also like, the peakest of peak beth, i.e. blurts out something she didn’t mean to and then not only will she gnaw her own arm off before admitting a mistake or defeat but she’s actually gonna flip this whole thing around and lean in as hard as she can and be the absolute best
i also love how rio immediately gets on her level and takes it just as seriously as she is but still finds ways to tease her, without like, teasing her (this makes sense shut up)
what i’m trying to say is the characterization is flawless throughout and captures all of the best things about them and their dynamic perfectly and i love it thank you and goodnight
fav quote:
It’s playful, more of a game than anything else. It’s just that he tends to be a bit more agreeable when she’s sucking him, just a bit more willing to be persuaded when he’s inside her. Usually, she’s asking for something small, like a new blender or a larger supply of singles, something she knows he won’t say no to. Beth has fun with it, daydreaming up some pretext or another while she’s printing. It’s easier this way, to pretend that what they’re doing is nothing more than a transaction.
To pretend it really is just business.
And if he lingers when they’re done—to kiss her and hold her and laugh with her—well, it means nothing if she doesn’t think about it.

-”That’s right, i forgot.” 
-Your guys bed is never made, you guys don’t even bother at this point. Like either the kid messes it up or you guys mess it up so what's the point 
-He picks you up when he hugs you, literally pick you up from the waist and lift you up

hi i just saw your post about the representation in dishonored and i hope i don't come off as rude but uuh reading "phobia isn't a player" felt really really strange... are we going to ignore the "last night" letter from overseer darion which absolutely suggests that his relationship with the other overseer is dangerous and probably deemed a sin by the abbey (which is in turn heavily influenced by the catholic church no? not the most inclusive institution..) also if i remember correctly geoff had to kill someone because he feared for his status when his own relationship with a tyvian soldier was about to be revealed and most of the gang members are implied to have fled poverty, violence and the overall constraint society puts on outcasts. i totally understand the need for healthy representation but sadly that must also include the struggle... where i come from there is a lot of shit going wrong right now and being lgbt is in fact still dangerous for us so i'm very glad whenever i see certain characters in media having the same struggle and being able to overcome it... sometimes they don't and i feel that is life too ... idk what i'm trying to say here its just i really like your blog and you have a lot of attention in the fandom and i think its important to include the gritty stuff as well for if we don't it feels like we're reducing the games to fluffy little uwu au's and honestly there's enough of that around already which is totally fine and i love that too i hope i make sense.. sorry if this message feels like overstepping i still love your blog and thank you for making us laugh on a regular basis (:
The note about the 2 Overseers and Geoff Curnow's story are the only two odd ones out. You could argue the there's another pair of Overseers in dh2, but it's implied they're trying to keep the secret from their wives rather than the Abbey itself. But that's it. 2 stories out of the rest. Breanna wasn't outlasted for being a lesbian, she ran away from an arranged marriage and became a witch. Daud's tragedy wasnt because was ace, he was kidnapped by bad people as a child. Mindy and Wyman's gender is never doubted by others, and they remain in their places of authority and are respected by others. So the most part, there's less hardship in queer rep in these games.
I said in my reblog that recognizing the hardships of queer people is important sometimes. That because, surprise, queer people aren't safe. Anywhere. There are places more "accepting", (aka the "it's fine if I don't have to see it" mentality), but we are hate crimed everywhere. And if we want change, we have to bring it up, and we have to show it... But we don't do that bc we want to, but bc we have to. We do it for the cishets, actually. Putting in hardships is a desperate attempt to change a Karen's transphobic heart. And again, we need to do that, but that's ALL the rep is these days. It's always the "our love is forbidden" or "we can't let our parents know" or "I have this secret and I'm gonna tell you even though you're gonna betray me later bc we gotta keep the drama for the audience's attention" stories.
I wouldn't be complaining about other media if the hardship wasn't everywhere, both in reality and in fiction. It's tiring. We go to fiction to escape reality, so why even put in those themes in your story? Why even want more of it? Don't you want rep for you? Don't you want a break from telling Karen it's okay? Don't you want to be told that happiness is is achievable, and even if it's dangerous out there for you, that there are people that know it's not all hardship? Don't you want some Karens from a videogame company to tell you "We know it's okay. Here's some characters. They're complex like all humans, and their queer identies add to that. We hope we do you justice and find these characters endearing."????
In case you needed to be told: You are more than the hardships you're forced to go through.

Nope, No Bullshit
Kenma and Ushijima with a loud/whiny s/o who is very stubborn and dramatic in arguments even when they are wrong.
Kozume Kenma x Reader
Ushijima Wakatoshi x Reader
For my other lovely anon. I really hope these are good because I spent all day trying to finish some of these requests because I feel bad when I take too long to post them. ┃(・ω┃
OMG I love Kenma, like damn that’s my baby. Also I wanted to say if you can’t get a side salad with goma dressing from McDonald's then what the hell are you gonna get?
WC- 1,221
~~~
Kozume Kenma
I feel like being with someone who is loud and whiny isn’t something new to Kenma 
Remember he is friends with Kuroo
However I think he would have to get used to it, he’s not used to dating like being with someone so loud and having their attention always on him in such a doting way
When it comes to arguments, if you are stubborn and whine to him about why he is wrong, he’d ignore you
He’d get so judgmental so fast
Like he would be visibly annoyed, sighing really loudly and glancing at you with irritation in his eyes 
I don’t think he’d entertain you tbh, he would not add fuel to the fire
Kenma knows when he is right and when he is wrong, if he is wrong then he will apologize before the argument starts but if you’re wrong then…
He wouldn’t let you get your way 
So when you end up throwing a bigger fit he would offer you things like dates and food 
“Shut up, let’s go get tonkatsu” or “If we go to that star museum will you stop?”
Kenma would definitely threaten you with Kuroo
“If you don’t stop whining, I will bring Kuroo over here and you know he will never leave.” 
Then you’d get really pouty and sulk in a corner, or on the edge of the couch 
Dramatically sighing or doing any activity with too much emotion
Kenma would not put up with this, I’m sorry my man would just leave the room 
UNLESS he sees you pouting, then he would cuddle into you and wrap a blanket around the two of you while resting his head on top of your own while you relax against his chest
You’d melt in his arms and probably realize very quickly that you were wrong but it’s hard to say ‘im sorry’ there’s no shame in that
But you would have to admit defeat some way
“You’re right” Your voice would be a hushed whisper and Kenma wouldn’t even look phased
“I know”
That would start another cold war 
“Where do you want to eat?” Kenma can’t keep the sigh in as he flicks his eyes over to where you are sulking on the couch. Clearly upset that he wasn’t giving in to you the way you wanted. “Let’s go get McDonald's.” He pushes himself off the floor and walks over to you, holding his hand out for you to grab. “Come on I want french fries.”
You glance up at him before turning your face, nose high in the air as you puff your cheeks out in retaliation. Kenma’s face falls for a second and he has to refrain from showing the irritation he is feeling on his face. He carefully rethinks his next movements, contemplating what is the best way to deal with the situation.
Kenma wraps his arms around your shoulders and pulls you into his chest, simply holding you in a hug as he waits for your resolve to break. It does, easily. And before Kenma can notice you’re leaning into him and grabbing his hoodie tightly in your hands, you’re already looking up at him.
“I want their side salad with sesame dressing and also fries.” Kenma smiles at the sound of your voice and gently knocks your forehead with his own, simply wanting to look at you in such close proximity. “Okay, you’re ordering.”
“No, I ordered the last time, you’re ordering.” Kenma stands his ground and you look up at him with an offended gasp.
“I ordered last time pudding head!”
Kenma just simply pulls you back into his chest, letting your insults get muffled by his hoodie.
“I’ll just order ubereats.” He mumbles and you cup his cheeks with your hands happily.
“Yay!” You gently press a kiss to his lips and Kenma forgets why he was ever irritated in the first place.
Ushijima Wakatoshi
Ushijima wouldn’t be phased by your loudness, he probably wouldn’t react any different 
Secretly though I think he would like someone like this because it would bring more spontaneousness into his life idk
Ushijima is also someone who is very blunt so if you’re wrong in an argument he would straight up tell you
Let’s say you’re being stubborn and tell him to apologize for something he didn’t do
“Apologize for what? You’re the one who left the stove on last night.” He would not let you live it down, you’re the one who is wrong point blank period 
You realize very quickly that when it comes to Ushijima Wakatoshi you are not getting your way and you stomp out of the room
He would follow you though, everywhere 
I don’t think he would understand why you are so upset but Ushijima would apologize anyway
“I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“I don’t know but I am sorry.”
He’d be hard to stay mad at, even though he is the one who should be angry with you
Ushijima just has a lot of patience, so he would be able to deal with someone like this easily 
Deep down he would find it very entertaining and it would take everything in him not to laugh whenever you got so flustered over something you’re wrong about 
“And why are you sorry?” You glare up at him, arms crossed over your chest. Ushijima continues to stare down at you, blinking as he runs his mind for the possible answers. It feels like a pop quiz he hasn’t studied for.
“Because you put your clothes in my wash and tinted my white jersey pink.” He answers and your face heats up in embarrassment.
“Wakatoshi!” You can’t help but whine loudly, stubbornly holding your ground as you continue to look at him. The more you look at him, the more guilty you feel but it’s so hard to get these words off your chest. “I’m sorry about your clothes, I already took them to the cleaners and they fixed them.” You mumble, unable to look at him and Ushijima nods his head.  
You don’t like the feeling of being in the spotlight so you quickly leave the room and head towards the bedroom, where you find comfort in sulking alone. Ushijima follows you, you’re sure he would have followed you all the way into the closet had you not shut the door in his face.
A few minutes later when you’re hidden in the tiny dark space, clothes draped all over you, does the door slide open. Ushijima peers at you with his curious eyes and you can see the small smile playing on his lips. It’s funny really, the way his gigantic body fits into the tiny cramped space. His knees are pressed up against yours and you frown as you stare at him, your cheeks heated up immensely. Ushijima’s large hands grab the tops of your thighs as he continues to stare at you.
“I love you.” Before he can even get all the words out you lunged at him in the tiny space, your body sprawled all over his own. You place kisses all over his face, watching as his eyes crinkle at the sensation.
“And I love you, Ushijima Wakatoshi!” You enunciate each syllable in his name and place just as many pecks anywhere you can find.
Yeah, Ushijima is in this shit for life.

Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one haha. This is a bit of an unusual post, but Tumblr, I need some assistance.
Ok so I've always have known about autism and stuff like it but it wasn't until about a year ago that I started looking into neurodivergency more. If you're wondering, it was brought about by my favorite Ducktales episode (season 3 episode 6: Astro Boyd) airing for the first time and I saw people talking about its autistic/neurodivergent themes.
Since then, I’ve been picking up some of my tendencies and it got me wondering. I never remember getting tested for this stuff so this is just based on my experiences and research. So for educational purposes, I'm gonna put some of the traits I do and see if any neurodivergent ppl relate lol
The first thing I want to touch upon is something plenty of us are probably familiar with: stimming. My experiences include;
Excitedly hitting a book I'm reading because of a cool call back, a really funny joke, or simply something badass happening (this just happened to me other day lol)
Flailing my arms and/or legs when something similar (to the point above) happens in a movie or tv show I enjoy
“Vibing” with my best friend includes: waving my arms and head around, bobbing up and down like I am an idle video game character, and/or just generally moving in place for a solid minute or two
The next thing I will mention: Hyperfixations
If you have seen my Tumblr, profile, or simply paid attention to the beginning of this post, you may not be surprised that I hyperfixate with my favorite show, possibly ever, Ducktales. I got emotional last year when I heard it was ending and legitimately cried at the end of the last episode. I mean watching those final credits still makes my heart hurt. (And I know I'm terrible at posting but I will never truly leave the Dt fandom)
Sometimes it happens rather quickly. For instance, I went to the mall with my friend last Saturday and impulsively bought a book called The Extraordinaries. I finished it in 3 days and I swear if I don't go back to that Barnes & Noble and get my hands on the sequel soon I will do crimes.
When I find things to hyperfixate about it is all I want to talk about with people for a while. But then I feel bad when they don't share my interests because I don't just want people to listen to me babble my head off all the time about stuff they don't care about.
Something I found out recently, losing track of time apparently can be a neurodivergent trait.
So yeah I've done this a lot. Overall, I just have terrible time management skills. I'm not great at putting things down on a timeline and it makes me anxious when I do so.
Also, since going into homeschooling about 5 years ago, I constantly lose track of time. Most of the time, I only know what day and time it is because I have a calendar next to my bed and a phone around me at all times. (off-topic but it annoys me that I used the word time so often here)
Prioritizing tasks, knowing how to start things, and just overall getting shiz done..???
I have. So many. Sketches I want to finish. But I keep going to a new one cause woop I just got a new idea must do it now right?! (Seriously though, I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much art lately)
I have a comic I want to start developing but I have no idea how on earth I should do that. And sometimes things seem obvious, like get the outlines for your story, get main plot points down, PUT YOUR DAM IDEAS YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEAD DOWN SOMEWHERE ANYWHERE. But nooo I'll just sit here and keep starting new sketches of my main characters. That'll get you a product you'll be happy with.
Sometimes I will just sit there thinking ok I'm sitting here but I have work I need to get done and I am running out of time to do it and it is stressing me out right now but I can't move I can't do it but I need to because it needs to get done and I am running out of time but it is stressful. Rinse and repeat for at least a half-hour, maybe take a nap lol.
This point is the fact that even though I never got tested I know I have maladaptive daydreaming which has a link to Adhd and neurodivergency in general.
For those who don't know what that is, I will try to explain. Yes, it is daydreaming but it's more than that. (you know what? I'm just gonna put the traits I found off of a site and add my feelings toward it lol)
extremely vivid daydreams with their own characters, settings, plots, and other detailed, story-like features
daydreams triggered by real-life events (mostly media I consume in my case)
difficulty completing everyday tasks (kinda like the stress-sitting I mentioned earlier just with daydreaming mixed in)
difficulty sleeping at night (at the time of making this point is it currently 3 am, though I am aware I'm up rn because of this post, it is usually because of the daydreaming)
an overwhelming desire to continue daydreaming (ok that's just...accurate)
performing repetitive movements while daydreaming (typically I walk around my house like a ping pong ball)
making facial expressions while daydreaming (idk I usually mouth what my character are saying or replicate the face their making)
whispering and talking while daydreaming (^^)
daydreaming for lengthy periods
The last thing I will mention for now is my family cause many sources say that this stuff is commonly genetic soooooooo
My mother has been diagnosed with dyslexia since she was a kid.
We've suspected that my brother has Adhd. To put it in perspective I will paraphrase something that his 2nd-grade teacher once said. “He moves around so much I want to just strap him to a chair sometimes but I am afraid to do it cause I think he'll explode”
I have more I could potentially talk about but I don't want to make this too long. I just want to know if anyone relates to this. So here take this mess of me hahahaaaaaaaa

Ok so I was rewatching TCW and I started out with the movie and honestly I’m only really a few minutes in and I am losing it over:
 -That clone who gave R2 a head pat.   -That clone who yelled charge and got immediatelyshot afterwards, that made me sad  -That clone who punched a droid, and then fucking died.   -The fact that DIRECTLY after that we see Cody WACK A DROID with his FULLY FUNCTIONAL BLASTER and then ROUNDHOUSE KICK ANOTHER ONE, AND THEN GO BACK TO SHOOTING MORE DROIDS
-Alright fuck it this is a live post now because I need to scream into the void and my friends don’t like Star Wars Fair warning, this is INSANELY long, and I’m doing this entirely for myself. I just don’t have anywhere else to put all my thoughts down freely and damn it I’m gonna put ALL of them down. 
-Ashoka, I love you but please god. get actual clothes. armor??? maybe??? Just, ANYTHING BUT A TUBE TOP. 
-Ok, so this movie looks pretty bad but I actually think the back grounds are really pretty. 
-Tbh early Ashoka is like, really cute?? (In a “aw look at the kid“ way, which is funny considering I’m her age-)  And if she’d wear some actual fucking clothes she’d have a really good design. 
-I can completely understand why people would find her annoying but lmfao Skyguy is fucking hilarious, if only because it pisses of Anakin. 
-All the Clones looking at her when she says it and Rex laughing helps add to everything. 
-Anakin: Captain Rex will show you a little respect can go a long way.   Rex: *Visible Oh Fuck Shit Don’t Give Me The Baby Jedi*
-Ashoka, I love you, but please Force stfu show Rex some respect.
-Ok but literal seconds later Rex actually seems happy to see she’s like, enthusiastic? (I think?)
-oH SHIT REX DROPPED A “DAMN” I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ASDFGHJKL (Rex there’s a child riGHT THERE)
-Fuck fuck shit this when Teth happens I’m not emotionally prepared
-Why are they in the middle?? Wouldn’t it be easier to go the side??? 
-Obi Wan saved a Clone :)
-Obi Wan ffs that’s a war crime-
-Why are the droids protecting the shield genorator literal fucking soda cans  
-So like, I know to a lot of people that moment between Anakin and Ashoka feels a little unearned, I just. can’t say I feel the same. Mostly because I can, relate a lot to Ashka feels there. You know, when you kinda fuck up but really, it wasn’t that bad, but you still feel like shit and you know other people think you fucked up too? But seeing Anakin being understanding is just, really comforting in a way. 
-Why the FUCK did they send ANAKIN to save JABBA THE HUTTS SON, do they not remember his childhood??????????????
-Actually I think they did a good job on Jabba’s model. When I look at him I don’t want to throw up. 
-God that opening shot of Teth from space is just, so fucking ominous and it fills me with dread. Especially knowing what’s gonna happen. 
-The Clones surrounding Ashoka have hair that’s going to kill me out of just being so BAD. 
-The Clones laughing when Ashoka says she saved Anakin is fucking funny
-ASHOKA IN A HOOD MY BELOVED
-DID THAT B1 DROID JUST FUCKING COMPLIMENT THE SPIDER DROID FOR MAKING A GOOD SHOT LIKE IT WAS A PET??????? THAT’S SO WHOLESOME?????? IT NODDED IN THANKS?????????
-RIDGE ILY
-Ok but actually though I fucking love B1′s. “Just fire right there!” is HILARIOUS. 
-”Oh my God” being said by a droid implies so much shit that I a not unpacking
-Ashoka, honey, you’re blocking the pilots view-
-This OST-

Do you ever have to make an entirely new email to make an entirely new Tumblr account because the app wasn’t working so you deleted it to download again but then realised you’d have to sign in and you can’t sign in without your homophobic dad seeing and he already knows you have a Tumblr but you’d rather not bring it u again and OOPS you aren’t following any of your favorite blogs anymore and are going to have re-follow them through memory becaue Tumblr won’t let me look at the people I was following on my old account

Time to Gay
Note: hey guys I really liked this idea of the shelbys having a gay younger sister probably Finns twin or like just above Finn and they always treat her like she’s the youngest. And she’s really close to tommy but they get into an argument over the fact that she’s dating/courting a woman and she walks out on them. I don’t know if this will have multiple parts but yeah. Also I accidentally posted this so it will have multiple parts or I’ll just add on to this post? Idk yet
Post I was inspired by: it’s really funny go read it it’s called ‘growing pains’ by theshelbyclan
———————————————————————
Y/n Shelby woke up with her lovers arm draped around her waist and her head in the crook of her shoulder. As y/n stirred she looked down at the dark haired beauty snuggling into her, the daylight bouncing off her hair and illuminating the freckles on her shoulders and back.
Daylight
Oh fuck
Y/n Shelby shot out of the bed and scrambled to the floor to dress her self in the day old clothing. Grumbling about how she was ‘so fucked’ as she went along trying to get her sleeves untangled.
“What’s the rush, love” Allison , her girlfriend, sighed, watching her lover desperately trying to do up her buttons as fast as humanly possible while arching her back repeating the action from last night’s festivities.
“What’s the rush if I’m not back within the next,” she checked her watch “minute Tommy’s a) going to have my head on a stick or b) the entire town gonna be apart of my rescue party, he gonna think I’ve been napped’”
Her girlfriend, oh how she lounged to say those words out loud and not only in the comfort of said girlfriends flat, rolled her eyes and gazed at her as Y/n threw on her cardigan and her glasses.
“Don’t be so loud you’ll wake Marion”
Ah yes Allison’s bastard roommate who never failed to comment on the fact that the two girls were awfully loud and were constantly jumping on the bed. Nevertheless y/n had come to like the old woman and her cooking and had promised to keep every gangster in town as far away from Marion as she could, including her brothers.
Especially her brothers.
As she struggled to find her shoes under the mass of clothes her girlfriend liked to call organized, allisons soft hand rested on her elbow as she pulled herself up into sitting behind Y/n or as most people knew her Y/n/n.
Her soft morning voice flitted through the air.
“You know just once I’d like to wake up next to you and you not have to go anywhere, I miss having you wrapped around me”
“Plus,” her voice dropped an octave lower and she crooned against Y/n’s ear, “it’s dreadfully cold without you wrapped around my naked body”
Now that almost ALMOST made her turn around and get undressed again but she knew if she did, she’d soon hear the sounds of blinders calling her name.
“As alluring as you are, I must get going if if I’m going to return tonight, for-“ she was cut off by Allison’s lips catching hers, the woman always did know how to shut her up, the kiss like all the other ones Allison had ever given her lingered on her lips and the smell of her perfume and flat wrapped around her like a hug it made her never want to leave the woman’s side.
“Don’t go”
“I have to”
“You don’t have to do anything”
“Y/n ,I love you so much more than you could ever know but I can’t keep doing this I can’t keep waiting, wondering when the next time you can sneak out and see me will be and I know you hate keeping things from tommy and them and I can’t keep being your dirty little secret I won’t allow myself to be treated so.”
Y/n was stunned she didn’t know what to say of course she had known it was weighing on Ally’s shoulders that she was a secret but she hadn’t expected it to come to this. She couldn’t lose Ally, Ally was all she had outside of the blinders her last piece of sanity.
“I’ll tell my brothers and my aunt about you guys tonight but please, please don’t go I can’t lose you, my brothers make my head spin and I- I you make me stay sane, please don’t go I’ll tell everyone tonight”
“Really?”
“Yes it was unfair I kept you hidden this long your as much part of my family as they are and if they don’t like it we can go somewhere else ,I am still Shelby”
Allison smiled softly in the dim light
“Okay well now that we’ve got that settled you best be off”
Y/n made her way through the small flat stopping to say hi to Marion and made her way out the door onto the stairs looking back to get one last look at the flat before she faced her brothers wrath.

And Theon bc I love him
WHAT A COINCIDENCE I LOVE HIM TOO (this answer is gonna be a combination of books and show)
Send me a character and I’ll tell you the following:
• Did they live up to their potential? / In what ways was their potential unachieved?
-I would say yes. The only negative I have about his general arc is his death (which, see below). But Theon from the very beginning was, though not a particularly nice person, still relatable. Feeling othered, wanting to be accepted by an immediate environment that doesn’t accept you, isolated from and ostracized by your family, and the tension that comes between serving the different types of familial relationships in your life. Theon has no idea who he is, tossed aside by his blood family for not growing up with them and being “soft,” aka sort-of moral and having emotions that aren’t selfish rage or smugness (which, yep, that second part is a mood, see: my entire childhood and how no one wanted to be around an “emotional” “soft” child). And from there, he spirals out of control in a way that, while certainly not admirable by any stretch of the imagination, is still understandable in the context of the narrative and his characterization. And from there, after going through hell and quite literally losing himself (even to the point of straight-up denying rescue), he builds himself back up gradually, to the point where he expressed extreme regret for what he’s done, helps an innocent woman escape a truly horrifying situation, acknowledges that his family is generally garbage, and (in-show b/c again books aren’t finished), helping to restore his sister to power, rescuing her after his PTSD relapses while confronting Euron, and ultimately opting to protect the Starks come hell or high water in order to genuinely atone for what he’s done. He is no longer conflicted because he wants to do the right thing, and that right thing is defending the kingdom from the White Walkers and making sure Sansa and Bran are safe. And it’s no longer about fulfilling a duty or finding a family to fill the void. Because now he has found himself. I will contend that Theon has one of the best, most nuanced, most organic redemption arcs of all time. I will forever be grateful that I got to see that piece of storytelling unfold.
Although, I would love to know what he thought of Dany. A missed opportunity, that.
• How they negatively and positively affected the story.
-Positive: His arc of identity and finding where your loyalties lie ties into the overall theme of “How do you find yourself in a world where goodness, authenticity, and honesty are often punished and increasingly rare?” And it proves that governmental politics aren’t the only defining factors in decisions: familial politics can be just as difficult and dangerous, which adds yet another rich, complicated layer to the overall story. He has a genuine, honest-to-Drowned-God redemption arc, which is...not really present anywhere else in the story (no, Jaime is not on a Redemption Quest, I will die on this hill). But I think the biggest draw of Theon’s presence is that it deconstructs the whole “Character Revenge Fantasy” idea. He does bad things. We want him to be punished. But not like that. No one deserves that. How far is too far? What does retribution really look like? Given how easily that idea can be abused and go off the rails, is retribution even something to strive for? What is the point of using extreme violence/torture/mutilation/breaking someone’s psyche when it doesn’t really accomplish anything? Isn’t atonement and genuine justice a better option? It certainly was for Theon. He could only piece himself back together and do anything meaningful once he was out of his abusive environment. All of these are imporant questions that are posed by his existence in the narrative.
-Negative: Idk if I have much to say here. My biggest problem is his death (see below), but that’s not really a negative story effect so much as...being disappointing and narratively irrelevant. I gotta say, his introduction via his sister was...really weird. I genuinely have no idea why GRRM wrote that. It never came up again or had any kind of narrative ramifications and kind of cast a strange, uncomfortable light on his relationship with Asha/Yara for the remainder of the story. I can ignore and enjoy their later relationship it if I don’t think about it too hard, though, so I guess I’ll chalk it up to GRRM having a Bad Idea.
• What my favorite arc for them is.
-All of it?? Theon’s journey is kind of...one big arc, which is why I think it works so well. He has this overarching redemption plot which spans the entire series and informs every decision he makes (for good or for bad, depending on where in the aforementioned journey he is). The redemption arc isn’t bogged down with side plots or other pieces of narrative clutter, meaning it has time to grow and, thus, be gradual and realistic. If I had to choose a specific point, it’s probably when he tries to reintegrate back into society via supporting Yara. Gaining the Iron Islands’ support for her ruling, spiriting away with Euron’s fleet, and ultimately rescuing his sister after her capture. He can’t just go back into society. He’s scared. He has really bad PTSD. But he recognizes that putting his home in good hands is something bigger than just him because it’s Yara’s home, too. I just...I really love family relationships, y’all.
• What I think of their ending.
-I’m not really sure how I feel about this one. I get that the series is GrimDark™ and that people who make the right choice and fight for good die all the time, but Theon dying just felt...wrong. To me.
And, like...I get it. It makes sense to parallel his original descent into villainy (cemented by executing those two boys and pretending they were Bran and Rickon) with him dying to protect Bran himself. It ties into the whole very common trope of completing a full redemption arc by committing a completely selfless act at great personal cost. It’s kind of like the whole Missy thing in Doctor Who (which...hoo boy, that post is coming, make no mistake), where selfishness is directly opposed by making the ultimate sacrifice with no motivation for personal gain. And the fact that the last words he ever heard were “You’re a good man?” I cannot even begin to describe how much that makes me sob. But...honestly, I’m really tired of this idea that redemption has to end in death in order to be achieved or “complete.” I think it’s much more poignant to have a redeemed character live to help build a better world. Because what’s the point of telling people to be better if the “reward” is death? No one’s going to want to reform themselves if they think that’ll be the result.
I think the thing that Bugs Me™ the most is that Theon never really got to have a moment of peace when he was alive. Sansa gained the North’s love and at least had a secure childhood. Ned and Cat were happily married for years. Arya had parents who loved her and a good relationship with Jon. Jon fell in love with Ygritte and found his Night Watch Bros, and Robb (in show verse) had some very happy moments with Talisa. Davos put great stock in what he considered fulfilling friendships with Stannis and Shireen; Brienne was treated respectfully by Renly, Catelyn, and Sansa; Missandei and Grey Worm had each other and their friendship with Dany, who herself had many personal successes in her quest for the Iron Throne and saw the death of her abusive brother. Cersei even had moments with Jaime (who himself had several notable military victories and at least some time with Myrcella, as well as being gladly and deeply in love, however dysfunctional that love was), times when she successfully fought off enemies (including her dad), and some sweet moments with Tommen, as well as a huge victory via blown-up sept at the end of season 6. Theon was treated as a second-class family member by the Starks his whole life by being “traded” to them as a condition of war resolution AS A BABY, is immediately disparaged and mistreated by his immediate family when he tries to return to them, makes terrible decisions that almost cost him his conscience completely, is brutally tortured by Ramsay, is on the run with his sister from Euron almost immediately after, and has a PTSD attack that ultimatly results in him having to launch a rescue mission. And then he fights ice zombies. And then he dies. He never really...got to be happy at all? There was never any kind of “win” for him. Not even survival. The narrative couldn’t even give him that.
TLDR: Theon’s death seemed less shock-value-y than others (like, for example, Shireen or Missandei or, heck, Melisandre even), and it isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen. It’s narratively-informed and it makes sense as an emotional through-line, but, ultimately, Redemption Cemented By Selfless Death is a tired trope, and I honestly thought this story (which...you know...serves as a deconstruction of common fantasy tropes/book tropes in general) was better than that.
• When I wish they had died. / If I think they should’ve died.
-So here’s where we get personal™ kids.
So, it’s no secret that I am...severely mentally ill. I’ve talked about expression/presentation of mental illness in regard to Cersei a lot on this blog, and how that (as paradoxical as it may seem) helped bring a sense of comfort and emotional resonance to me. Theon, post-Ramsay, has, I think, a very clear case of PTSD. Theon is one of the few characters I’ve seen where his mental illness isn’t the cause of the bad, violent, dangerous choices he makes. It only takes root after he has made the decision and conscious effort to better himself, and it, rather than demonizing him, serve to humanize him. His trauma didn’t define him. And although a PTSD attack led to him unintentionally losing Yara to Euron’s capture, he makes every effort to rescue her, a goal he does end up achieving. It is so rare I get to see a character who goes through these things, successfully fight them and come out with positive qualities at the end. Like...switching topics a bit here, Jaime going back to King’s Landing to (try to) escape and ultimately die with Cersei made sense to me because, as Jaime says, he is a hateful man. He never made much of an honest effort to be anything else. And he never truly wanted to be good; he just wanted to be liked. He wanted to adopt some personality that would make him feel less disconnected from the rest of the world. But Theon...genuinely feels remorse for everything he’s done. He makes a concerted effort to do everything in his power to improve the lives of people he believes are good and deserve to be safe. So, just...killing him off in a Completely Selfless Sacrifice (like...you know how a lot of mentally ill people put themselves through suffering-like OCD rituals, bottling feelings, self-harm, even suicide-in a misplaced attempt to “help” or “protect other people”) seemed antithetical to everything we saw of his arc.
Ultimately, with such a humanizing, empathetic portrayal of trauma and mental health struggles, seeing Theon be killed off just...pissed me off. I am so tired of seeing mentally ill characters die. I really want to believe that I can live through and thrive in spite of the things that afflict me, and I get example after example of characters not being allowed to do that. It feels awful, quite frankly. And it makes hope that much harder. 
I also just feel like...there was nothing the story gained from his death? I get the thematic parallels as mentioned earlier, but it didn’t really move the story forward in any significant way. It didn’t motivate other characters to do anything, it had no political ramifications, it didn’t serve to contribute to any kind of happy ending or commentary on society, it just...was sad. Again, I thought this story was better than that.

Tumblr media
okay so ... y’all i feel like this was gonna be happening eventually... and i just can’t prolong the inevitable anymore. but like.. idk i like tumblr but like.. i dont exactly like rping on here anymore as much as i used to? it creatively stifles me? it's not as fun as it used to be, talking to folx on discord's way more fun and i respond to discord a lot faster than on tumblr, i tend to create way better work - plotting, writing, chatting and fucking around on discord. i’d be genuinely surprised if any of my mutuals - who are still here - are still active to see this post, but if you are, i thank you for your faith in me and in my muses and for your dedication.
idk if it’s just me but my rp inspo on here is dying and i’m lowkey kinda sick of that feeling. it depresses me and kills my muse inspo to be here. they’re alive and well in my head, ofc, but the second i try to start something, i’m just ... flatlining, not bc i don’t try but bc like.. idk. i’m out of it. i’m jaded, i’m out of spoons, i’m ... whatever word you wanna use for this - i’m outta here, ig. i’ve done everything i can to try and revive the rpc piece by piece, and make this place more fun for myself, but ... it just isn’t working, not like it used to, not anymore, not for the last year or so. more and more i find my friends leaving and being happier for it, migrating elsewhere and it just hasn’t been the same since... so i’m doing the same.
my storylines built with my closest friends – especially the gangsta., narutoverse and twdgverse plots – aren’t going anywhere, i promise. they’re probably going to be repurposed into more professionally presented fanfics and posted over AO3 or, at the very least, put on drabbles here, if you prefer reading threads to reading fanfic, a lot of it’s already around.
my discord is【 𝕬𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐀 ♥ 】#3430 – again, i am still very much active, or at least semi-active with everything i have going on, rping is still very much a passion of mine, i very much have muse inspo for a lot of my muses, and i still very much wish to develop stories and plot and interact and laugh and and write with the people i’ve partnered with and befriended here without a single doubt !! i’m not leaving the internet or anything like that, i’m just navigating to other areas of it; please feel free to add me, watch me, follow me, whatever - elsewhere. nothing i’ve built here has to die off just because I’ve made the decision to archive this blog !!
i’m still going to browse tumblr casually, and in fact i may or may not convert this blog into a personal blog one day, but we’ll have to see. i’m still running my rpc blog, @imaginariumrpc​ which i totally recommend checking out if you want some muse inspo or aesthetics, i’m just not producing as much ic content here anymore aside from the headcanons, aesthetics, drabbles and dash games i’ve saved up in my drafts from time to time, and this can be considered a permanent hiatus — this is not a creative platform for me anymore, not like it used to be, so i’m leaving it for good but also keeping it up as an archive for what was here, the emotional and skillful interactions were absolutely top notch, and my four years of being on here definitely helped hone my skills as a writer and i cannot thank you guys enough for it, thank you to everyone who was ever involved, whether or not we’re still mutuals, but it feels unfair to the ones i’ve interacted with if i were to just delete everything, so i’ve decided to keep it up. discord is still a platform you can reach me at OOC, we’re always cool in that regard, just ... don’t be shocked if it takes me ages to reply on tumblr im’s at least. i’m not stressed anymore and i don’t feel pressured at all and that’s such a liberating feeling.
if any of you still want to write with my muses, PLEEEEAAAAAAAAAASE come talk to me on discord and we can plot and talk and rp and fuck around and all that !! i still love my muses - and all the beautiful and wonderful friends i’ve made on here over the years ! - very much and i would love to get some threads going, i just can’t manage this blog combined with all my other things i’m looking after now and especially with my upcoming youtube channel ( which you can subscribe to HERE if you feel so inclined ! it’s nothing too fancy right now and i don’t have a lot of fancy equipment yet at the moment, but i absolutely intend on posting a FUCKTON of content on there, including but not limited to: animanga content i like reading / watching ( especially naruto and gangsta., among other animanga that catches my eye !! ), asoiaf content, potterverse content, some occasional movie reviews and my thoughts on them, personal stuff, indigeneity, tarot readings, talking about autism and mental health advocacy, lgbtqia2+ education, conspiracy theories, spirituality, mythology, witchy shit, playlists, gaming, podcasts, travelling, maybe even vlogging as time goes on, and a lot more, and in fact, @inkblccd​ and i are already intending on starting a podcast episode together before we’ve even started and i’m really excited !! ) and my own ambitions coming into play ?? i can't be distracted by a rp blog w/ 110 muses on it, that's not productive lmao + i’m devoted to myself, self-partnered, and focusing on many fulfilling things like my hobbies, my career, my communities, luxury, legacy, prosperity, abundance, peace, beautiful experiences, chosen family, friendship, the arts, traveling, spirituality, magick, social activism, charity, learning and a lot more, and not to mention i’m also writing a novella !! so i hope that at least some of you guys can experience that with me on my youtube channel !!
before i end this though, i do want to give thanks and a shoutout to each and every single one of you, whether you’re a friend or not, whether you’re an old face or a new face, whether we’ve interacted or not, for my four, long, bittersweet and wonderful years here on the tumblr rpc, for everything you’ve done to make my life a better and happier place, i would’ve never gotten this far in life without you guys, and i’m tearing up as i write this, so i hope everyone reading this has a beautiful morning/day/night, and i hope you find the love and the happiness and the peace you’re so much longing for. if we’re still going to interact, i’ll definitely see you on the flipside... and if this is the last time we communicate with each other, i wish you well and goodbye and to have all the love and happiness in the world.
A very special shoutout to: @kaigyokus @hxgure @shikkotsunin @imbicilite @inkblccd @ncvabcrn @familiarblood @worldendured @faithheartily​ @singlethreads @akummaa @historias-multorum @redlineoffate and @unfortunatesculs - my experience in the rpc wouldn’t have been so lovely without you guys in it, y’all mean everything to me.
peace, i love you all so much.

my long overview/review of ‘Star Wars: Journey to Batuu’ after forcing myself to play it almost nonstop
so i said i was going to amend what i said in response to this ask after playing to min/max shit so here is a tldr version of my opinion after playing:
I consider this pack to be a 2/10; It's enough to kill time as a temporary distraction, but not for long. There’s absolutely no replay value after going through all those missions as each outcome is ultimately the same by faction. There also doesn’t seem to be any negative outcomes for each prompt in the little “choose your adventure” pop ups--And if there is, it is extremely low since I have never gotten a negative outcome. 
The aspirations are fair, and are the only things I found in this pack that’s anyway redeemable since I believe the rewards can be used well in conjunction with general solo/super-sim gameplay.
kinda sat on this for a while bc i wasn’t sure if i should post something so lengthy but then i remembered this is my blog n i can post my left toe if i wanted to
even tho i would never post a pic of my left toe anyway
.......at least for free. With the right price, however....
anyway more details under the cut if you’re interested bc i like to ramble :))
I decided to split this into 5 sections to organize my thoughts a little better. I’ll be separating my thoughts on each faction, the ships as a rabbit hole, the faction missions, the star wars aspirations, and then the breakdown of my 2/10 rating. 
1. Factions
When you travel to Batuu, the game gives you a starting “mission” or quest to get you acclimated to the areas, and each area has a specific Faction associated with it.
And yes, you cannot live anywhere, nor are there any lots, as was already stated.
Every area has a similar makeup which has:
Control Panels
Supply Crates
1 non-rabbit hole area
1 interactable ship
The Black Spire Outpost is the biggest area and has:
Two places to grab food, three if you count the Cantina
Aside from the Cantina, the other areas are rabbit holes
The two eateries are:
Docking Bay 7
this one has the most food options
you’ll never go hungry in batuu because the cheapest items on the menu are Outpost Popcorn Mix and Water at 0 credits lmao
the other two foods not shown in the screenshot above are Yobshrimp Noodle Salad and Braised Shaak Roast
Ronto Roasters
This food place has two of the same options Docking Bay 7 has as well as two additional food items
Oga’s Cantina
The only area that you see the inside of
yea the bar serves batuu-only drinks too
also where you find the guy who would give you Scoundrel missions, Hondo Ohnaka.
Tumblr media
You can essentially max your Scoundrel reputation without it hindering whichever side you wanna take, and you can keep it when you essentially max out your rep on either the Resistance or the First Order.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There aren’t any real pros to being a Scoundrel aside from some socialization interactions. It doesn’t do anything for initial Batuu gameplay aside from unlocking Scoundrel outfits in CAS and some upgrades for your droids, but this goes for all of your options (Resistance, First Order, & Scoundrel).
The Dwelling
This is a rabbit hole where your sim goes to sleep, pee, or shower… If not the closest bench. 
It’s located opposite to the Cantina. 
If you’re ever lost, there’s a spire you can sit/nap on right in front of it–or you can just wait till your sim wants to pee. 
they’ll automatically run there 
that’s… how i found it, tbh
Tumblr media
Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities
Another rabbithole
This place sells items you can use to complete missions, like Dataspikes and a couple of Lightsaber parts
Majority of the inventory are decorative stuff to bring back with you
Savi’s Workshop
Right behind the antique shop is the lightsaber place where you can find more hilts, kyber crystals, and display cases for your lightsabers.
You can also click on the shop to start a lightsaber challenge.
Outside this area, you have the First Order District which has more supply crates and control panels than the other two neighborhoods, and a lot more activity–Makes sense since this is basically the hub for the First Order in general. 
There’s only the Droid Depot in this area, and the only real shop that has use for credits. Food wise, there’s a food stall, and if your sim is stinky or tired, they’d basically disappear for a few minutes to recharge and come back. 
Droid Depot
Each faction has specific Droid personality traits
Aside from “voices,” these personalities don’t do much
I guess the First Order one is a lot more zap-happy though
The Resistance Camp is even smaller. Like the other areas, it’s littered with supply crates, but only has one control panel and no shops. However, there’s a rabbit hole toward the back in the Caves.
Tumblr media
This doesn’t lead you to anywhere interesting, and it’s just another ‘choose your own adventure’ kind of thing. 
2. Ships
In the Black Spire Outpost, you’ll find the iconic Millennium Falcon. You can do kessel runs and explore in the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca if you have a high Scoundrel reputation. 
However, although I said you get to ride with Chewbacca, you don’t ever see him come out 
He just kinda……………..stays there
and the prompts tell u he’s there
n ur gonna have to go with it and use the power of your imagination to believe he really do be there
Tumblr media
In the First Order District, there’s the TIE Echelon, which functions the same way as the Millennium Falcon… But, you can’t do anything outside of exploring or using it for missions. This is how the X-Wing Starfighter in the Resistance Camp functions as well. 
It’s all pretty copy and paste, but w/e, that’s how EA does it  
 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Missions
There may be several different missions per faction, but to no one’s surprise, they’re all literally the same one but worded differently.
Regular missions only have one plus (+) and one negative (-) icon
Regular Scoundrel missions only have one plus icon and no negatives since they don’t impact other factions
Each faction has a regular mission that pertains to:
Obtaining information
Exploring with the faction’s designated ship
Stealing from Supply Crates
Hacking a Control Panel
Yes………………….They’re very repetitive
You don’t have to do all of them though
You can spam the same one over and over as long as it fits the time slot
For example, the Resistance’s ship exploration mission is limited to only the day time and seems to disappear when it gets late in game
also there’s an error with the TIE Echelon where it’s missing a whole ass prompt
Tumblr media
……As you can see, the options make no sense because the prompt is the same one that came before it 🥴
anyway…
Story Missions are the only missions that seem to differentiate from each faction.
Tumblr media
All missions that pertain to the “story” are indicated with prerequisites of higher ranks within the faction
All of them give a double boost toward your faction
If it’s a Resistance story quest, it’ll always increase hostility from First Order members
Vice versa for the First Order faction
The Scoundrels are neutral, and do not impact any faction 
It’s only the Resistance and First Order factions that have very similar plot lines
but I’m guessing it’s only like that since they’re supposed to follow the vague cause/effect the two of them have?
4. Aspirations
The initial Aspiration you get when you pick the Star Wars umbrella in CAS (or in game) is “Hope VS Order.” After completing this one aspiration, you unlock the 3 that pertain to each faction.
Paragon of Hope
Resistance aspiration
Reward trait gives a boost to Charisma skill building
This is probably nice for those careers that need Charisma to be high, like the Political and Business branches
Enforcer of Order
First Order aspiration
Lowers chances of “Death from Anger”
Since I like killing my sims, I think this aspiration is pointless lmao
Galactic Privateer
Scoundrel aspiration
“Sleight of Hand” reward trait
Unlocks pickpocketing outside of Criminal branch usage
Best one here tbh
Works outside of Batuu, you’ll steal simoleons instead of credits
Also you can cheat whenever u play Sabaac and no one will notice
5. Reevaluation of Initial Opinions
I’ll be going through my initial list from my Response to the Ask I got before. I originally stated that it seemed promising and it was a 3.5~4/10.
Aesthetics/Visual: my opinion is unchanged, it still made me sad i can’t have a little shanty house out there or rent a garbo lot, 0.5/5
The longer I played, the more I didn’t find any new animations
The lightsaber sparring slowly began to look like a mash between GF and RoM duels after a while
I still hate that the areas were beautiful (+0.5) but the interactive places forced cutaway
why do you wanna ruin my screenshots like this, man
CAS/BB still is hard to integrate–Unless your sim is a geek with figurines, the ship models might be nice to add to their collections
Otherwise……
….
I don’t have a follow up for that, sry
Gameplay: uhhh at least i found something i could use outside of Batuu, 1.5/5
I think that playing 3984729847 repetitive missions for a long period time really orientated me to the whole map
…but the fact that i had trouble the first time around still makes it not-user friendly
the issue I had with the resistance members not having an icon? It’s a thing, I guess
The resistance quests take you on a weird trip to “prove” yourself so i guess the icons are supposed to show that they’re “not” resistance members or something idk
they’re supposed to be the sneaky underdogs who wanna do good or w/e
I guess that’s immersive…….. +0.5
sry im first order trash
they also have “Ignite the Spark” and “Ask about Missions” both leading to the same mission screen……………….
convenience?? i guess??
missions are still confusing, made worse when the game itself glitches up a storm
there was one mission where i had to go to the cantina to find someone
and they wouldn’t spawn within the time frame………….
i had to go in and out for like 3 days until they actually spawned
i only knew this bc i arrested half the people in the cantina while i was bored
so anyone without a red bar was probably them lmfaoo
also, as i stated above……. there’s some mission errors in the prompts 
Currency is still worthless.
Everything can be done by purely stealing from supply crates
Credits are only worth to blow it off on sabaac! 
The only real need for credits is to have 1,000 so u can buy a droid
Then slam the rest of those credits on the table to bet bajillions on a game of sabaac!
Aspirations………. Useful +1
Despite them being sorta niche, they’re pretty decent
Can abuse the rewards for optimal gameplay for a super sim
Honestly i just love the pickpocketing reward off the Scoundrel aspiration, just because it works outside of Batuu (and that he didn’t have to be in the Criminal career for it either)
Tumblr media
In total, my personal rating for this pack is 2/10.
It was nice, but I don’t really see this pack being replayable, considering that i did everything there was to do on Batuu in a single trip. Sure I could’ve taken my time, but since everything would end up the same anyway, it felt like it was set up to be a one-time gig. 
At least with JA you’re moderately forced to return so you can collect treasures that are RNG–In JtB, you can snatch up all that you need on Batuu from grinding everything like a nutcase. There’s also chances of failure in JA, but on Batuu that percentage is almost little to none. The most you’ll ever get is a dazed moodlet that barely lasts, a negative relationship, and being escorted to a loading screen.  
I feel like this pack could be a little better if there were more risks involved, but there are barely any that I encountered. It’s just another weird, rehashed cash grab by EA.

Darling Rutherford's 1,000 Followers Post!
I've officially hit 1,000 followers! Honestly, I'm amazed. I started this blog about two years ago, I think? Solely because I had been playing DAI for a bit and wanted a place to reblog all my favorite DA things. I never imagined that it would grow to gain so many followers, that I would gain such amazing and supportive friends, and that so many people would actually enjoy my writing. Big thanks to my husband for pushing me to post the first chapter of To Weather the Storm on Ao3 back then. That's what caused my writing to spiral into what it is today, and why I post so often. So, thanks, honey! ❤️
I've never done a follower drawing before, but 1,000 is kind of a big milestone for me, so I figured I may as well give it a shot!
What is it? What will I get?
Two people's blog names will be pulled at random on February 20th, 2020 for a custom one-shot written ficlet by me.
1st name pulled will get a minimum of 3,000 words.
2nd name pulled will get a minimum of 1,500 words.
Either may actually get more than the minimum, it depends on how the writing bug bites me for what is chosen.
For those of you unfamiliar with my work, you can find a handful of it at Darlingrutherford on Ao3, although a lot of little drabbles are also in this blog under the "my work" tag, or "fanfiction", or... Other things. I'm terrible at consistent tagging, my condolences.
Da Rules - make sure to read before entering!!
You must be 18+ to enter this. Sorry. This blog is 18+ only as stated in my about due to some of my writing/reblog content and I don't want to draw a bunch of minors to my blog for this. Please feel free to come back when you're 18! This won't be the last one I do :)
You must be following me. New followers are welcome, but please don't follow just for the giveaway and then leave once it's over. That will make me sad :(
You must both like and reblog this post. Likes count as one entry, of course, since you can't really like something twice on this site. Multiple reblogs are fine, but please don't spam your followers (or me). Space out your reblogs.
If you want to reblog this to your specific fandom account and it's a side blog (e.g., this is my DA fandom side blog and my "likes" show up on notifications as @basiltwist), that's fine. Please just add a note in the post area of the reblog what your main blog @ is so I can match it up with a confirmed like in the notes. If I can't easily locate your "like" then you won't be able to win.
No specific "giveaway" blogs. Those reblogs won't count.
Winners will be notified on February 21st. You must respond to me within 48 hours of me messaging you on Tumblr. If the first place winner doesn't respond within 48 hours, the person in second place will automatically move to first and a new second place will be drawn.
Because this is a fic and I pride myself on writing a characters voice well, you must be willing to work with me on this. I will want to know so much about your OC if you want me to write them. I will want to send you quotes I'm writing to make sure it sounds as you had envisioned them. I will only be able to write as well and as quick as well as you are willing to correspond with me.
It may take me a few days to a week to write your ficlet, possibly longer if you aren't quick to respond to my inquiries. Be patient with me. I am a chronically ill person and have off days where I sleep a lot. I am treating these like a job. You will get your fic in a timely manner.
When fics are done they'll be posted to Ao3 as well as this Tumblr for you. You may save them to love as your own, but you may not repost these anywhere without obtaining my permission first. These are my writing, these are free, and one cannot put a signature on digital writing like you can artwork. You will of course be credited for your character if an OC is used, as well as the ideas and such.
I will NOT write: inc*st, p*dophilia, non-con, racism, anything NSFW about minors, writing gay characters as straight, things like that. I reserve the right to say no if your subject matter makes me uncomfortable. Don't hesitate to ask, though. I'm kinkier than you may know, there's not a lot that I'd be uncomfortable writing.
Ok with the rules? Here's what you can request when you win!:
One-shot ficlets will be (almost) whatever you want. You may request a fluff fic, NSFW, coffee shop discussion between your faves, etc. It can be your OC, canon characters, one of my OCs if you really love them that much and there's a scene you really want of them, etc. It doesn't even have to be a romance bit if you don't want it to be! Whatever you want.
A lot of my followers know I mainly write Cullen and Alistair based things, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to do the research to write your favorite character of choice. Of course I'm most comfortable writing them, but I'm willing to make it work. Again, I reserve the right to say no if I don't think it's gonna work out on my end.
This is a DA/Witcher blog so your choice of fic should probably be in those fandoms (note for Witcher fics - I've only watched the Netflix show five times. Working on making my way through the games but, honestly, if you have a character you really want written, I'll find the videos and learn them for you cause you're a winner!) Feel free to ask if your fandom of choice isn't one of those twk. Who knows, I may be willing to do the research to write what you want. But I'm allowed to say no if I don't think it's gonna turn out well because I don't know the source.
I may edit or change these rules all together at any point in time if I deem necessary. They'll probably stay the same, tbh. Typos maybe. Idk.
I reserve the right to say no to your fic or stop writing it all together at any point if I deem necessary. Let's be honest, this will probably only happen if you're being super rude to me or angry that I won't write something I already listed in the no-no section. Just don't be a dick and this won't happen.
Questions can be directed to my inbox, or message me if you don't want your ask answered publicly. Good luck! ❤️❤️
