Do you relate to any of your ocs? If yes, why? 🚨 Send this to 10 simblrs you adore ❤️

okay so HIHI first off !! so the oc i relate to the most is kila from the scott family GP !

I relate to her so much because of the same hobbies !! kila is an artsy type, expresses herself with her aesthetics and sometimes her fashion and sometimes I like to do the same as well in my daily life < 3 . . . I feel her personality of being social and outgoing with her friend group also speaks to me since I'm pretty social with my friend group! otherwise, then that, kila & I are more alike than we thought 🤎

Hello darling 🧡

“But,” he takes a steadying breath, “when you nearly left? I-” Tommy’s fingers tighten around Buck’s wrist. “I knew that it wasn’t right, I don’t remember why I feel safe with you, I just know that I do. We aren’t supposed to be apart.”

Buck feels completely frozen.

“A-and I know you want to go,” he pulls in on himself, “and I have no right to ask you to stay,” he falters, worries at his bottom lip. “But I know you’re supposed to be here.” Tommy takes a step towards him, something soft and pleading in his eyes. “We’re supposed to be here.” He says it so softly, so simply as if he hasn’t just made Buck feel like he could be knocked over by a light breeze.

Buck takes a deep breath, tries to stop his voice from shaking.

“I was only going because I thought you didn’t want me.”

I need a fic where Carlos goes out with his ranger/ pd buddies for a birthday/ celebration & tk has to pick him up bc he’s v drunk and Carlos gets stressed bc he has a Husband™️ and he loves him and is obsessed with him and is not interested in a very hot man and then being like OMG your my husband??? When tk tells him and then he gets all cuddly & starts gossiping about the stuff he found out whilst he was sitting there (bored/ but entertained) at the party😂

Ahahaa I love your mind!! I can totally see him being pretty stoic and focused at work, with Ranger Soup being the only one tilting his head over in the cubicle and seeing that Ranger Reyes is occupied with making a new photo manip for TK's 30th in his break. So when they all go out for Ranger Dijon Mustard's (or smt) birthday and see Carlos drunk because he's not used to holding much liqour anymore, they see a lot more of his very goofy and in love side. "My HUSBAND saved someone from the Chrysler Building once. In New York. My husband is from New York." "...we know." "Yeah? Oh. Did I mention that my HusBanDDD~ is from New York?... He saved a stink bug once. As a kid. My husband was a kid once and an environmentalist in the making. Married to the best person on the planet you know?" Carlos blinks and blinks. "The best." I might write this anon. I might, if my brain gets less mushy this week.

Hello hello! Ok it’s nighttime and I finally have a minute to gush over Right Timing properly so here I am. First of all I didn’t wait AT ALL to read it I snuck glances at the chapter while driving to work (never have I been this grateful for traffic) but I had to stop when they met outside the bathroom because I just couldn’t stop smiling like a loon. Then I reread the whole thing at lunch and again now that I’m home in bed so I feel properly ready to discuss it.

If you asked me before I couldn’t quiteee put my finger on what I loved so much about this fic in particular. You said yourself there’s a million amazing angsty-James-and-lily-pining-hard-before-they-get-together-but-don’t-admit-it fics- and like ten of them are yours. (another fav of mine is the jilytober one that ends with James going to ‘change the circumstances’ I’ve reread that ten billion times the fact he makes lily wait in the passageway as if her leaving would break this moment is peak James and I’m obsessed). But this one just hits different and when the first chapter came out it literally left a void in me that I NEEDED more of them and I had no clue why. Now I realise that what I love about it is that the whole story sits on a crossroads. Both of them are so into each other, they are both talking about it, but it’s like they’re soliloquising - WE can hear the obvious truth but they seem to be passing each other by. Lily talks about her dream guy, describes James, he has no clue. James talks about how the timing seems to finally align with the girl he likes (and literally nearly kisses Lily when he does it) but lily doesn’t know it’s her. And on top of that, they’re both hanging on the precipice of romantic decisions: James with Emmeline and lily (though shes said no) with Bertram. The whole scene can either go one way or the complete other and where it ends we have no clue. And it’s so beautifully written that their mutual yearning, their bittersweet efforts to make the other happy, seem so genuine. I wholeheartedly believe that this James and Lily love each other so much, are so besotted with each other that they simply can’t bring themselves fully to say it. Everything is so up in the air and yet so close to perfect that reading it makes me frustrated in the best possible way.

And now with this new scene, it all just perfectly falls into place. There’s just enough prelude to the confession that the longing between them is evident and then James comes up to Lily and the whole story shifts. And as a reader you realise that what may have previously felt just out of reach for these two was absolutely inevitable. Lily is James’ dream girl, he is the love of her life. It’s so damn obvious that it was gonna fall into place. It was ALWAYS gonna end up like this and for, it makes the bullshit from the first chapter feel so much dumber but also so much more necessary, because how can two teens ever ever risk something so important on a late night chat when one’s just been asked out and there’s even a flicker of doubt about the others’ feelings? It’s too big a jump for the most important relationship in their lives.

And then James (of course) has enough of waiting and takes the risk. I wonder if Sirius spoke to him in between scenes but I like to think he doesn’t need to. James just sees the pieces fall into place, sees what he’s wanted for years and says fuck it and acts. And Lily, who is usually incredibly brave, who has been in plenty of uncomfortable situations, who has lost so many of those closest to her to standing up for what’s important to her, all of a sudden can’t do that. All of a sudden is a complete coward, is in complete denial, is letting the crutch of her stubbornness hold her up against what’s right in front of her. Because this is more important than anything else, and she can’t risk it or lose it the way she’s lost other things, other people. And she needs James to say it, needs him to fully take the leap. And he does, shy and earnest and a little scared even if a part of him knows she’ll jump with him, and she does too.

Like that scene is so quintessential Jily. It’s so rare for me to feel the characters jump off the page like that, esp in short fics like this because there’s just not the space to make them three dimensional, but abi honestly you did it so so well. Watching them progress it all just made sense, like yes they are dumb and stupid and young but it HAD to happen that way goddamit, it just did. Like they made it so hard for themselves but that’s what it fucking took and it WORKS.

Not to mention the last bit was so hot like James pulled the moves out in this one. If that’s what we’re in for in your m rated summer fic then honestly SIGN ME UPPPP. When he said “I think you want me to touch you” I nearly dropped my phone like I was in so much shock?? Like last chapter u can’t even tell her u like her directly now ur here being SMOOTH about it?? Best line hands downs

Other favs include

Lily reflecting on how her older self would look back at this as a low point (and then fully preparing herself to go back and continue to put herself through it - very typical 17 year old girl behaviour)

Lily liking frozen butterbeer like yes this is my fellow iced latte all year round girl

James telling emmeline let’s go as friends and then sitting her with the girl he actually fancies?? Like the poor girl but honestly it made me laugh a little bit he’s so STUPID

Bertram saying “I thought I lost you” when he saw her talking to James like everyone else is INCREDIBLY aware of their feelings for each other huh

James knowing lilys butterbeer order and getting pissed she’s buying her own drinks on a date. Yes James, what WOULD you do if you took Lily out? Maybe you should ask her so we can all find out hm?

The subtle eye contact and banter between J/L like they’re so in sync

James being obviously jealous and Lily getting mad and yet STILL not putting the pieces together.

And from chapter one: you saying Sirius was sharp as a dog I giggled

Actually your entire Sirius characterisation is incredible I’m in love w how you write him but here esp he’s such an ass and I love it

Also from ch 1 James freezing his parchment so Lily can sleep on his lap like u ain’t slick sir?? Honestly the only thing stopping Lily from realising how (ahem) into her he was at that moment was the pillow in his lap

Last but not least have to mention I’m obsessed with the part where they’re talking ABOUT TO KISS and lily still doesn’t think he likes her and James STILL CANT ASK HER OUT I love my idiots in love but god I wanted to bang their heads together and also sit and stare in awe and appreciate the moment so much like UGH it was so PERFECT.

Right so I have to stop this has gotten insanely long I’m so so sorry. Abi I can’t say thank you enough for this it honestly made my day. I know you said it’s a couple weeks late but the universe has perfect timing bc honestly I needed this today especially and I’m so so grateful. Have a wonderful day Miss freckles we love youuu xxx

anon! i have no words! (except of course i do because i’ve got a phd in yapping)

play-by-play comments are the best! and…are you in my brain? like actually? because yes!!!! you get it! sometimes when i make jily do something especially stupid, i get self-conscious because i’m like ‘okay no one’s actually that blind’ and i worry that their mutual pining is too exaggerated. but then i remember what it was like to be 17 and in love and constantly wondering if i was reading too much into the boy’s actions or if i was just imagining things i wanted to see and then that little thread of worry would be paralysing! because putting yourself out there at any age is scary. doing it at 17? near impossible. everything has to align juuuuuuust so, which means there are lots of stupid moments leading up to that aligning moment.

i don’t see james as a particularly smooth person, because he’s such a dweeeeb. but i think he has his shining moments of being Hot On Purpose. and i think Lily is perhaps an unreliable narrator in that regard too. so his bathroom bravery could have fallen on the side of cringeeee, but because it’s him and because it’s lily. she eats it up. and we, as readers (hopefully), get to do the same!! and in regard to my m-rated cruel summer fic… “i think you want me to touch you” james is certainly present. 😏🙂‍↕️ (i plan to post the first chapter in the next week!)

truly, thank you for the thoughtfulness of typing all this out and sharing it with me!!! i’m happy you encouraged me to revisit this story and happy you enjoyed it!

well that trailer made my cry hysterically

wailing, etc, because the pieces of information wgxn choose to withhold from lxc -- how jgy and his mother were treated in the brothel, that both the sex workers and the clients were amused by meng shi’s ambition at best and disgusted by her Gall at worst; that (as opposed to what the fandom likes to think) there was no big solidarity with other sex workers, they weren’t a family of girlies who supported each other but rather a workplace that didn’t care about your personhood; that sisi was the only person who was kind to meng shi and little meng yao, and this is why he chose to spare her, and she didn’t even know why; and many more, including all the moments that nmj has shown wwx in empathy that might be influenced by nmj’s hatred -- are things that lxc just... won’t have a chance of finding out, ever. because who’d tell him? sisi is a victim, she’s not going to comfort a friend of the man who imprisoned her for a decade with sad tales from his childhood. she probably noped the fuck out as soon as she could. he’ll just never know. because wwx was sooo tired of all this bullshit, you tell him, lz, i f he asks. have i mentioned how i think zewu-jun should start biting

if u have an android, you can get an older apk file of the tumblr app. not sure exactly how far back you'd have to go to get pfps in banner notifs back but its a pastability

I don't know what that means <3 I think I will just sit and weep as the day's toils have worn me to the bone and I have not even a mutual's silly little profile pic to cheer me from my woes

"hey Ao Lie kinda looks like a BL boy" "a what"

Considering I've been trying to figure out a Jadepeach AU of The Remarried Empress (and possibly a Marry My Husband AU) this is more accurate than you think.

I’m so normal. Michael this whole time completely in control of its doors and then suddenly being locked out….

the loss of control.... it is supposed to be the one playing w peoples mind, then why does michael feel like he's being played with? within its own domain?

90s Raphael’s characterization between the first movie and the next two is interesting. Could make for a good fic.

I love Raph's characterisation across the 90s trilogy.

There are so many little things I could point out, but overall, I love that he's a little guy with big feelings! He doesn't always know what to do with them given he's a teenager with sensory issues and trauma. I love his strong convictions about right and wrong and justice and helping others and protecting his family and bystanders. I love watching this kid who spent fifteen years in isolation discover what he wants and fight for it.

Splinter tells him and his brothers their whole lives (as gently as possible) that the world above will never understand or accept them, but Raph carves out a place for himself anyway. He must have brought home so many strays growing up, and then he brings home three humans who change their lives. As he gets to know April, Casey, and Keno, he learns that he craves connection, a wider social circle than his family can offer. He wants people to know he exists. And we see how much he wants, but the price to have it is too steep. Because he can't reveal himself to the whole world and protect his family; he can't live in ancient Japan and have them, too. Despite so desperately wanting more, he chooses his family every time. I love when tmnt media and fandom explore these aspects of Raph.

My 90s fics tend to focus on how Raph is harmed by their conflict with the Foot Clan.

Sunset is my take on some of the missing hours between Raph's capture and rescue from Foot HQ.

Wrestling imagines how Raph might've broken down after the first two movies given everything he went through.

Thanks for the ask =)

❝ It began as all things did: a girl on the shore, terrified and desirous. ❞ for nirmala!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ— A STUDY IN DROWNING ( accepting! )

It’s  too  cold  to  linger  too  long  outside  today.    There  is  a  southern  wind  which  kicks  up  off  the  coast  and  brings  with�� it  a  chill  that  seeps  into  the  bones.    It’s  a  bad  day  for  Baba,    who  keeps  to  the  first  floor  of  the  house  after  he  has  trekked  awkwardly  through  the  fields  and  orchard  despite  the  frost  -  blanketed  ground.    Nirmala  can  hear  the  long  drag  of  his  gait  and the uneven thump of his cane even  from  upstairs;    it’s  slower  than  it  usually  is  and  that  means,    @taitropa  says,    that  she  mustn’t  pester  him  too  much.

This  is  a  horrible  thing  to  Nirmala,    who  prefers  Baba’s  stories  over anything else.    Mama  tells  stories  just  fine;    she  tells  stories  about  ships  and  saints  and  sometimes  she  tells  them  in  song,    and  Nirmala  loves  Mama’s  voice.    But  it’s  Baba  who  tells  stories  about  girls  with  knives  and  boys  with  guns  and  the  danger  of  city  streets  rife  with  mischief,    which  are,    of  course,    far  more  exciting  tales. Especially because Mama hates that he tells them to Nirmala.

❝    Mama,    ❞  interjects  Nirmala,    who  sits  on  the  cold  wooden  floor  with  her  legs  crossed  beneath  her.    Mama  sits  behind  her  and  rubs  oil  into  her  scalp  with  calloused  fingers  made  rough  from  saltwater.    They  are  still  gentle;    if  Nirmala  closes  her  eyes,    she  might  fall  asleep  and  she  still  has  bribing  to  do  today.    Downstairs,    Baba  scolds  the  dog  for  getting  underfoot,    the  sanded  down  quality  of  his  voice  muffled  by  the  yowling  wind  outside.    Nirmala  tilts  her  head  back  until  her  neck  hurts  and  Mama’s  warm  eyes  come  into  view.    ❝    What’s  desirous?    ❞

4 & 17!

— interview the writer !

4. do you have any advice for other writers?

write even when you have doubts or think it's bad. write even when no one will see it. write with people who you feel like are better than you. be kind to other writers and remember where you came from and how much you've learned; humility and kindness are important in any space, but especially in spaces which revolve around art.

but also, don't let people walk all over you and don't be afraid to curate your space to be what you need it to be. if you write, you are an artist. you create art. the space in which you create art is important to keep safe, even when it's virtual.

and read ! take in the work of other writers and let it teach and humble and inspire you. you don't have to read books if you feel like that's too much— read fanfic and short stories and your writing partners' replies on the dash. just read !

17. what motivates you?

to write ? music. gushing with my writing partners about our muses. rainy / gloomy days. rewatching my favorite seasons of the show. taking a break when i'm stressed to step outside and look at the clouds and the trees and think about the fact that the earth is breathing and i am, too, so there's no reason not to go create some art. surrounding myself with things that fill my soul up !!
